During the thirty (30) day period immediately following AerCap’s delivery of a Dispute Notice (the “Resolution Period”), the Parent and AerCap shall negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement as to any matters identified in such Dispute Notice as being in dispute, and, to the extent such matters are so resolved within the Resolution Period, then the Proposed Final Completion Statement as revised to incorporate such changes as have been agreed between the Parent and AerCap shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties as the Final Completion Statement.

disputed matters and the resulting calculations of the Final Target Completion Date Cash, the Final Completion Date Cash and the Final Completion Date Cash Consideration which report and calculations will be conclusive and binding upon all parties and shall constitute the Final Completion Statement for all purposes hereunder absent manifest mathematical error. A copy of all materials submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be provided by the Parent or AerCap, as applicable, to the other party concurrently with the submission thereof to the Independent Accounting Firm. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accounting Firm (a) shall be bound by the provisions of this clause 2.5(e) and clause 2.4 and (b) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by AerCap or the Parent, or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by AerCap or the Parent.

(f)       The cost of the Independent Accounting Firm’s review and determination shall be borne on a proportionate basis by the Parent, on the one hand, and AerCap, on the other, based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded in favor of each such Person bears to the amount actually contested by such Person. By way of illustration, if the Parent’s calculations would have resulted in a one million dollar ($1,000,000) net payment to the Parent, and AerCap’s calculations would have resulted in a one million dollar ($1,000,000) net payment to AerCap, and the Independent Accounting Firm’s final determination as adopted pursuant to clause 2.5(e) results in an aggregate net payment of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) to AerCap, then the Parent, on the one hand, and AerCap, on the other hand, shall pay 75% and 25%, respectively, of such fees and expenses.

(g)       If the amount of the Estimated Completion Date Cash Consideration is greater than the Final Completion Date Cash Consideration, the Existing Shareholders shall pay the amount of the difference between the Estimated Completion Date Cash Consideration and the Final Completion Date Cash Consideration to AerCap. If the amount of the Final Completion Date Cash Consideration is greater than the Estimated Completion Date Cash Consideration, AerCap shall pay, or cause to be paid, the amount of the difference between the Final Completion Date Cash Consideration and the Estimated Completion Date Cash Consideration to the Existing Shareholders. Any payment due under this clause 2.5(g) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Parent or a bank account designated by AerCap, as applicable, within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Final Completion Statement becomes conclusive and binding on the parties in accordance with the provisions of this clause 2.5, and, if not paid within such period, shall bear interest at the Interest Rate. All computations of interest shall be made in accordance with clause 1.8.

2.6       The Stock Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities of a AerCap Subsidiary or of securities convertible into AerCap Ordinary Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to AerCap Ordinary Shares with a record date occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Completion Date.

2.7       Unless AerCap elects to pay cash in lieu of all of the AerCap Notes, AerCap shall issue (or cause to be issued) the AerCap Notes to a Retained Group Member to be designated in writing by the Parent no less than two (2) days prior to the Completion

Date. The AerCap Notes shall be issued on the terms set forth in Schedule 2.7 of the Disclosure Letter.

2.8       Except as otherwise provided herein, the AerCap Entities shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from the amounts otherwise payable to the Existing Shareholders (or payable to the Ireland Company 1 or by the Ireland Company 1, as the case may be) pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Law. If any such withholding or deduction is imposed in a jurisdiction (other than the United States or any jurisdiction therein) as a result of a present or former connection of any AerCap Entity (including of such AerCap Entity’s beneficial owners) to such jurisdiction (other than any connection arising solely from the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated therein), the applicable AerCap Entity shall increase the amount of the payment by an amount necessary such that the applicable Existing Shareholders receive (taking into account any cash Tax benefit actually realized by the Existing Shareholders from such deduction or withholding) the amount they would have received had no such deduction and withholding been required. If an AerCap Entity withholds or deducts (or causes to be withheld or deducted) any amounts not subject to the payment of an increased amount pursuant to the foregoing sentence, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made; provided that AerCap shall inform the Existing Shareholders at least five (5) Business Days in advance of any such withholding or deduction and shall cooperate with the Existing Shareholders to take commercially reasonable steps to reduce or eliminate such withholding or deduction.

2.9       Each party acknowledges and agrees that, in the event the other party requests a change in the structure of the Transaction in writing, such party shall reasonably consider the other party’s proposed changes in good faith; provided, that no party shall be required to implement any requested changes to the structure of the Transaction without its prior written consent.

The aggregate Losses for which the Parent and the Existing Shareholders shall be liable to the AerCap Indemnitees pursuant to clause 16.3(a)(i) (when taken together with the aggregate Losses for which Parent and the Existing Shareholders are liable to the AerCap Indemnitees in respect of all breaches of all Existing Shareholder Indemnifiable Warranties) shall not exceed two billion U.S. dollars (US$2,000,000,000).

The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are to be performed at or after the Completion shall survive the Completion until fully performed in accordance with their respective terms.

(c)       The parties agree that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, including with respect to the indemnification for breach of Warranties or AerCap Warranties pursuant to clause 7.2, must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified herein for such representation or warranty,

covenant or agreement, and any claims for breach, including with respect to the indemnification of Warranties or AerCap Warranties in clause 7.2, for which notice is not timely delivered in accordance with this clause 7 shall be expressly barred and are hereby waived, provided that if, prior to the survival date, a party shall have notified any other party in accordance with the requirements of this clause 7 of a claim for indemnification hereunder (whether or not formal legal action shall have been commenced based upon such claim), such claim shall continue to be subject to indemnification in accordance with this clause 7 notwithstanding the passing of the survival date.

7.2       (a)       Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, from and after the Completion Date, the Parent and the Existing Shareholders, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the AerCap Group Members and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “AerCap Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by the AerCap Indemnitees to the extent resulting from, relating to or arising out of (A) any breach by the Parent or the Existing Shareholders of (i) the Existing Shareholder Indemnifiable Warranties, (ii) the Pre-Completion Covenants to be performed by the Parent or the Existing Shareholders or (iii) the covenants and agreements of the Parent and the Existing Shareholders contained in this Agreement that are to be performed at or after the Completion or (B) any Excluded Liability.

(b)       Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, from and after the Completion Date, AerCap and the AerCap Entities, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Parent Group Members and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Parent Group Indemnitees” and, together with the AerCap Indemnitees, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by the Parent Group Indemnitees to the extent resulting from, relating to or arising out of (A) any breach by AerCap or the AerCap Entities of (i) the AerCap Indemnifiable Warranties, (ii) the Pre-Completion Covenants to be performed by AerCap or the AerCap Entities or (iii) the covenants and agreements of AerCap and the AerCap Entities contained in this Agreement that are to be performed at or after the Completion or (B) subject to the indemnity set forth in clause 7.2(a)(A), any Business Liability.

(c)       Any Indemnitee shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses incurred by such party upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any indemnification rights hereunder, including for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to clause 16.3.

(d)       If the AerCap Indemnitees receive any payment from the Existing Shareholders or the Parent or the Parent Group Indemnitees receive any payment from the AerCap Entities or AerCap in respect of any Losses in connection with an indemnification claim pursuant to this clause 7.2 or clause 16.3 and the AerCap Indemnitees or the Parent Group Indemnitees, as applicable, could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against the Existing Shareholders or the Parent, in the case of the AerCap Indemnitees, or the AerCap Entities or AerCap, in the case of the Parent Group Indemnitees, the applicable Indemnitees shall assign such of their rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit the Existing Shareholders or the Parent (in the case of the AerCap Indemnitees) and the AerCap Entities or AerCap (in the case of the Parent Group Indemnitees) to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment.

(e)       If AerCap and the AerCap Entities are liable to any Parent Group Indemnitee pursuant to this clause 7.2, to the extent such liability results from, relates to or arises out of Losses also incurred by AerCap or any AerCap Group Member, (i) the amount of Losses incurred by the Parent Group Indemnitees shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of the Losses incurred by AerCap or the applicable AerCap Group Member and (y) the Ownership Percentage as of the date on which the Loss is incurred (expressed as a decimal) and (ii) AerCap and the AerCap Entities shall be liable jointly and severally in an amount equal to the Losses incurred or deemed incurred by the Parent Group Indemnitee (as determined pursuant to the foregoing clause (i)) divided by one minus the Ownership Percentage on the day that AerCap and/or an AerCap Entity actually makes the indemnification payment to such Parent Group Indemnitee in respect of such Losses (expressed as a decimal).

7.3       A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this clause 7 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure in connection with such claim.

(a)       Upon receipt of notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to this clause 7 in respect of a pending or threatened claim or demand by a third party that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (such claim or demand being a “Third Party Claim” and including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party), the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, with its own counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and at its own expense; provided that, as a condition to assuming such defense and control, the Indemnifying Party agrees and acknowledges its responsibility for Losses resulting from, related to or arising out of such Third Party Claim and shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed a defense of any Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed as to the status and progress of the Third Party Claim, including the receipt of material communications related thereto and copy the Indemnified Party on all material pleadings, filings and other correspondence relating thereto and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party and involves solely money damages payable by the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall (i) not encumber any of the assets of any Indemnified Party or agree to any restriction or condition that would apply to or adversely affect any Indemnified Party and (ii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim. For the avoidance

of doubt, the Indemnified Party shall not be liable for any compromise or settlement made by the Indemnifying Party which is not entered into in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled to control as the Indemnifying Party the defense or settlement of any claim relating to the Designated Matter that is indemnifiable hereunder.

(b)       If the Indemnifying Party does not give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of such notice, and until the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, or if the Indemnifying Party does not diligently pursue such defense (following written notice from the Indemnified Party of such failure and such failure continues beyond a reasonable period), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to proceed with its own defense of the Third Party Claim at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall provide at least twenty (20) Business Days’ advance written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any pending compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim for which the Indemnified Party is proceeding with its own defense (which notice shall set forth or describe all material terms of the pending compromise or settlement in reasonable detail) and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any compromise or settlement made by the Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). With respect to any Third Party Claim for which the Indemnified Party is proceeding with its own defense in accordance with this clause 7, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed as to all material developments related to the Third Party Claim and copy the Indemnifying Party on all material pleadings, filings and other correspondence relating thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any claim or demand for which it is seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party or admit to any liability with respect to such claim (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause 7, no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under this clause 7 for any Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claim that is settled or compromised by an Indemnified Party in violation of this Agreement.

(c)       In the event any Indemnifying Party receives notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to this clause 7 that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days following its receipt of such notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this clause 7. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any such claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party.

(d)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but without limiting any party’s rights with respect to equitable remedies pursuant to clause 34, the Parent, the Existing Shareholders, AerCap and the AerCap Entities hereby agree that following the Completion, except with respect to fraud, the sole and exclusive remedy of a party for any breach or inaccuracy of any Warranties, AerCap Warranties or Pre-Completion Covenants or the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are to be performed at or after the Completion (other than the payment of the Consideration) is pursuant to the indemnification procedures

described in this clause 7 (and clause 16.6 with respect to Taxes). In furtherance of the foregoing, except with respect to fraud but without limiting any party’s rights with respect to equitable remedies pursuant to clause 34, (x) AerCap and each AerCap Entity hereby waive, from and after the Completion Date, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action AerCap or such AerCap Entity may have against the Existing Shareholders, the Parent or any of their Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling Persons, agents or representatives, successors or assigns in respect of any breach of the Warranties, the Pre-Completion Covenants of the Parent and the Existing Shareholders or the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are to be performed at or after the Completion by Parent or the Existing Shareholders (other than a claim for indemnification pursuant to this clause 7 or for equitable remedies pursuant to clause 34) and (y) the Parent and each Existing Shareholder hereby waive, from and after the Completion Date, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action the Parent or such Existing Shareholders may have against AerCap, the AerCap Entities or any of their Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling Persons, agents or representatives, successors or assigns in respect of any breach of the AerCap Warranties, the Pre-Completion Covenants of AerCap and the AerCap Entities or the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are to be performed at or after the Completion by AerCap or the AerCap Entities (other than a claim for indemnification pursuant to this clause 7 or for equitable remedies pursuant to clause 34 or for payment of the Consideration).

(e)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to clause 7.1(a), in the event AerCap, the AerCap Entities, the Parent or the Existing Shareholders become aware of any breach or inaccuracy of any Warranties contained in paragraph 18.3 of Schedule 1A, the Parent shall be permitted to cure such breach or inaccuracy, in whole or in part, prior to being subject to any indemnity payment obligation hereunder by (i) transferring or causing to be transferred, at the Parent’s expense, from the Retained Group Members to the AerCap Group Members such assets, rights or properties as would cure such breach or (ii) by providing such services pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, in each case for the purpose of curing such breach; provided that the cure right set forth in the foregoing clause (ii) shall not be available in respect of any breach or inaccuracy that relates to the ownership of the Specified Aircraft Assets; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, any notice in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this clause 7.3(e) shall replace any notice required to be delivered pursuant to the introductory paragraph of this clause 7.3; provided, further, that AerCap shall retain its rights hereunder with respect to any Losses that are not cured by the actions in this clause 7.3(e).

7.4       The aggregate Losses for which the Parent and the Existing Shareholders shall be liable in respect of this Agreement (other than in respect of any Excluded Liabilities) to AerCap, the AerCap Entities and any AerCap Indemnitee shall not exceed five billion U.S. dollars (US$5,000,000,000). The aggregate Losses, for which AerCap and the AerCap Entities shall be liable in respect of this Agreement (other than in respect of any Business Liabilities) to the Parent, the Existing Shareholders and any Parent Group Indemnitee shall not exceed two billion U.S. dollars (US$2,000,000,000). For the purposes of determining whether any of the Warranties or the AerCap Warranties have been breached and the amount of Losses that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification under this clause 7, each Warranty and AerCap Warranty contained in this Agreement (other than, for purposes of determining whether there has been such a breach, the Specified Warranties) shall be read without regard to and without giving effect

to any materiality qualifier, including “Material Adverse Effect,” contained therein. Nothing in this clause 7 shall modify or waive the obligations of AerCap and the AerCap Entities to deliver the Consideration.

7.5       This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Completion:

(a)       by the mutual written consent of the Parent and AerCap;

(b)       by either the Parent or AerCap if the Completion has not occurred on or before the date that is twelve (12) months after the Signing Date (the “Initial Long-Stop Date” and, as the same may be extended pursuant to this clause 7.5(b), the “Long-Stop Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause 7.5(b) shall not be available to any party who shall have materially breached or failed to perform any of its Warranties or AerCap Warranties, as applicable, or Pre-Completion Covenants, in each case, in any manner that shall have resulted in the failure of the Completion to occur on or before the Long-Stop Date; provided, further, that if the Marketing Period has commenced and not yet completed prior to the Initial Long-Stop Date, then the Initial Long-Stop Date shall be extended until the date that is five Business Days after the earlier of (x) the expiration of the Marketing Period and (y) the termination of the Marketing Period by AerCap; and provided, further, that if prior to the Initial Long-Stop Date, the Conditions to the Completion set forth in clause 3.1(a) and/or clause 3.1(b) have not been satisfied or waived but all other Conditions to the Completion (other than those conditions which by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Completion) have been satisfied or waived or are capable of being satisfied by the Initial Long-Stop Date, the Initial Long-Stop Date may be extended on one occasion by either the Parent or AerCap, for a period of three (3) months.

(c)       by AerCap, if (i) a breach of Warranty shall have occurred that would cause the condition set forth in clause 3.1(d) not to be satisfied or (ii) a Material Adverse Effect has occurred since the Signing Date, only insofar as such breach or Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, has not been cured by the earlier of the Long-Stop Date and the date falling three (3) months after the date of such breach;

(d)       by AerCap, if a breach of the Parent’s or the Existing Shareholders’ Pre-Completion Covenants shall have occurred that would cause the condition set forth in clause 3.1(f) not to be satisfied, only insofar as such breach has not been cured by the earlier of the Long-Stop Date, and the date falling three (3) months after the date of such breach;

(e)       by the Parent, if (i) a breach of a AerCap Warranty shall have occurred that would cause the condition set forth in clause 3.1(e) not to be satisfied or (ii) a AerCap Material Adverse Effect has occurred since the Signing Date, only insofar as such breach or AerCap Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, has not been cured by the earlier of the Long-Stop Date and the date falling three (3) months after the date of such breach;

(f)       by the Parent, if a breach of AerCap’s or the AerCap Entities’ Pre-Completion Covenants shall have occurred that would cause the condition set forth in clause 3.1(g) not to be satisfied, only insofar as such breach has not been cured by the earlier of the Initial Long-Stop Date, and the date falling three (3) months after the date of such breach;

(g)       by either the Parent or AerCap, if the Required AerCap Shareholder Approval shall not have been obtained at the AerCap General Meeting duly convened therefor or at any adjournment or postponement thereof permitted hereunder;

(h)       [Reserved];

(i)       by any of the Parent or AerCap in the event that a Legal Restraint having the effect set forth in clause 3.1(j) shall be in effect and shall have become final and unappealable; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause 7.5(i) shall not be available to any party who shall have materially breached or failed to perform any of its Warranties or AerCap Warranties, as applicable, or Pre-Completion Covenants, in each case in any manner that shall have resulted in the imposition of such Legal Restraint;

(j)       prior to receipt of the Required AerCap Shareholder Approval, by the Parent, if an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred; or

(k)       by the Parent, if (i) all of the conditions set forth in clause 3.1 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at Completion), (ii) the Parent has given notice to AerCap in writing that the Parent and the Existing Shareholders are prepared and able to consummate the Completion (assuming the conditions set forth in clause 3.1 that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Completion would be satisfied by actions taken at the Completion), (iii) the Marketing Period has ended and (iv) AerCap or the AerCap Entities fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the date the Completion should have occurred pursuant to clause 5.1.

7.6       Any party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause 7.5 shall give written notice of such termination to the other parties (except that the Parent does not need to give such notice to the Existing Shareholders and vice versa).

7.7       In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to clause 7.5:

(a)        this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (except for this clause 7, clauses 17.1, 18.1, 19, 20, 21, 22.1, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36 and clause 1 (to the extent necessary to give meaning to the foregoing), each of which shall survive such termination and remain valid and binding obligations of the parties in accordance with their terms); and

(b)       there shall be no liability or further obligation of any kind pursuant to this Agreement on the part of AerCap, the AerCap Entities, the Parent, the Existing Shareholders or any of their respective current or former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, investors, partners, members, managers, representatives or Affiliates of any of the foregoing; provided, however, that termination (including payment of the Completion Failure Termination Fee, Adverse Recommendation Change Termination Fee or Alternative Acquisition Fee) pursuant to this clause 7 will not relieve any party from such liability (i) pursuant to the sections specified in clause 7.7(a) that survive termination or (ii) for any willful breach of any provision in this Agreement prior to such termination or for fraud.

7.8       In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to clause 7.5(k), or by AerCap pursuant to clause 7.5(b) under circumstances where the Parent or Existing Shareholders could have terminated pursuant clause 7.5(k), then AerCap shall pay, or cause to be paid, US$100 million (the “Completion Failure Termination Fee”) to the Parent (or its designated Affiliates) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days following such termination).

7.9       In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to clause 7.5(j), then AerCap shall pay, or cause to be paid, US$100 million (the “Adverse Recommendation Change Termination Fee”) to the Parent (or its designated Affiliates) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days following such termination).

7.10       In the event that (a) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (i) clause 7.5(g) and the existence of a Superior Proposal has been disclosed by any Person to the public on or prior to the date of the AerCap General Meeting or (ii) clause 7.5(b) and, prior to the Long-Stop Date, the Required AerCap Shareholder Approval has not been obtained and a Superior Proposal has been made to AerCap or any of its Affiliates, and (b) within 12 months of the termination of this Agreement, AerCap or any of its Affiliates enters into any definitive documentation in connection with, or consummates any transaction with respect to, an Acquisition Proposal, then AerCap shall pay, or cause to be paid, US$100 million (the “Alternative Acquisition Fee”) to the Parent (or its designated Affiliates) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days following the date on which AerCap or any of its Affiliates enters into any definitive documentation in connection with, or consummates any transaction with respect to, such Acquisition Proposal).

7.11       AerCap and the AerCap Entities on the one hand and the Existing Shareholders and the Parent on the other acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this clause 7 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the other parties would not enter into this Agreement.

7.12       In the event the Completion Failure Termination Fee, the Alternative Acquisition Fee or the Adverse Recommendation Change Termination Fee are payable, such fee will be paid to the Parent (or its designated Affiliates) by AerCap or one of its Affiliates in immediately available funds. Solely for purposes of establishing the basis for the amount thereof, and without in any way increasing the amount of either the Completion Failure Termination Fee, the Alternative Acquisition Fee or the Adverse Recommendation Change Termination Fee or expanding the circumstances in which the Completion Failure Termination Fee, the Alternative Acquisition Fee or the Adverse Recommendation Change Termination Fee is to be paid, it is agreed that each of the Completion Failure Termination Fee, the Alternative Acquisition Fee and the Adverse Recommendation Change Termination Fee is liquidated damages, and not a penalty, and the payment of the Completion Failure Termination Fee, the Alternative Acquisition Fee or the Adverse Recommendation Change Termination Fee in the circumstances specified herein is supported by due and sufficient consideration. While the Parent may pursue both

a grant of specific performance under clause 34 and the payment of the Completion Failure Termination Fee, the Alternative Acquisition Fee or the Adverse Recommendation Change Termination Fee under this clause 7, under no circumstances shall the Parent be entitled to receive both (x) a grant of specific performance which results in consummation of the Completion and (y) all or any portion of the Completion Failure Termination Fee, the Alternative Acquisition Fee or the Adverse Recommendation Change Termination Fee. AerCap shall (or shall cause one of its Affiliates to) reimburse the Parent and the Existing Shareholders for reasonable fees (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred by the Parent and the Existing Shareholders in enforcing their rights under clauses 7.8, 7.9, and 7.10.

7.13       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but subject to clause 7.7(b), if AerCap and the AerCap Entities fail to effect the Completion when required by clause 5, then either (a) a decree or order of specific performance or an injunction or injunctions or other equitable relief if and to the extent permitted by clause 34, or (b) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to clause 7.5, any reimbursement and indemnification obligations of the AerCap Entities and AerCap pursuant to clauses 7.12, 10.2, and 11.10, and receipt of payment of the Completion Failure Termination Fee pursuant to clause 7.8, shall be the sole and exclusive remedies (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of the Parent, Existing Shareholders and their Affiliates against AerCap, the AerCap Entities, the Lenders and any of their respective Affiliates or current or former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, investors, partners, members, managers, representatives or Affiliates of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “AerCap Related Parties”). Subject to clause 7.7(b), upon payment of the Completion Failure Termination Fee pursuant to clause 7.8 and payment of any reimbursement and indemnification obligations of AerCap and the AerCap Entities payable pursuant to clauses 7.12, 10.2, and 11.10 to the Parent, none of AerCap, the AerCap Entities or any of the AerCap Related Parties shall have any future liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated by hereby or thereby.

7.14       (a) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided in respect of a breach by the Parent or the Existing Shareholders of the Warranties in paragraph 21.2(b) of Schedule 1A shall be reduced by any benefits actually realized by the AerCap Indemnitees as a result of a failure of the information set forth in paragraph 21.2(b) of Schedule 1A of the Disclosure Letter to be true and correct. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided in respect of a breach by AerCap or the AerCap Entities of AerCap Warranties in paragraph 20.2(b) of Schedule 1B shall be reduced by any benefits actually realized by the AerCap Group as a result of a failure of the information set forth in paragraph 21.2(b) of Schedule 1A of the Disclosure Letter to be true and correct.

(b)        The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided in respect of a breach by AerCap or the AerCap Entities of the AerCap Warranties in paragraph 20.2(b) of Schedule 1B shall be reduced by any benefits actually realized by the Parent Group Indemnitees as a result of a failure of the information set forth in paragraph 20.2(b) of Schedule 1B of the AerCap Disclosure Letter to be true and

correct. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided in respect of a breach by Parent or the Existing Shareholders of the Warranties in paragraph 21.2(b) of Schedule 1A shall be reduced by any benefits actually realized by the Parent Group as a result of a failure of the information set forth in paragraph 20.2(b) of Schedule 1B of the AerCap Disclosure Letter to be true and correct.

8.       Conduct of Business Before the Completion

8.1       Subject to any applicable Laws, during the period from the Signing Date until the Completion, except:

(a)       as otherwise contemplated by or necessary to effect the matters contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including, for the avoidance of doubt, clause 2.9 of this Agreement, and the Reorganization if taken at the AerCap Entities’ request or AerCap’s request;

(b)       for actions contemplated by the Transaction Accounting Principles that would reduce Target Completion Date Cash;

(c)       for matters identified in Schedule 8.1 of the Disclosure Letter;

(d)       as may otherwise be required by applicable Law or by the express terms of a Parent Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Plan; or

(e)       as AerCap otherwise consents in writing in advance (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood and agreed that AerCap shall notify the Company whether it grants or withholds its consent as promptly as practicable and, in the case of matters described by the Company as exigent, within four (4) Business Days, any such consent to be confirmed by email).

the Parent and the Existing Shareholders shall (i) cause the Business and the business of each Company Group Member, EIH (to the extent related to SES) and, to the extent within the control of the Parent or the Existing Shareholders, SES, to be conducted in the ordinary course, and (ii) cause the Business and each Company Group Member (and, (A) to the extent expressly set forth on Schedule 2A, EIH, and (B) to the extent (x) expressly set forth on Schedule 2A and (y) within the control of the Parent or the Existing Shareholders, SES) not to take any of the actions listed in Schedule 2A.

8.2       The Existing Shareholders and the Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to procure that the Company Group will, except as set forth on Schedule 8.2 of the Disclosure Letter, co-operate fully between the Signing Date and the Completion in order to assist AerCap and the AerCap Entities and their Affiliates to communicate with employees, agents and consultants of the Company Group and take actions to retain such persons as employees, agents and consultants, provided that neither the Existing Shareholders nor the Parent shall be obliged to do anything that would unreasonably interfere with any of the businesses or operations of the Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and the Company Subsidiaries); and provided, further, that, anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, nothing herein shall obligate

or be construed to obligate the Parent or the Existing Shareholders to make, or to cause to be made, any payment to any employee, agent or consultant of the Company Group or any other third party in order to comply with its obligations under this clause 8.2.

8.3       (a)       With respect to any Indebtedness of any Company Group Member, the Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to obtain any waivers or amendments required to prevent a default or event of default under, and a breach or acceleration of, such Indebtedness that may arise out of or relate to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the Reorganization (any such Indebtedness, the “Triggered Facilities,” and any such waivers or amendments, the “Facilities Amendments”); provided that none of the Parent, Existing Shareholders or the Companies shall have any such obligation with respect to the Facilities Amendments under this clause 8.3(a) until and unless AerCap has provided the Parent and Existing Shareholders with sufficient prior notice of the final structure of the Reorganization, including a reasonably detailed description thereof; provided, further, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the reasonable best efforts of the Parent and its Affiliates under this clause 8.3(a) to obtain the Facilities Amendments shall not require the Parent or its Affiliates to (i) pay any commitment or other similar fee or consent fee, (ii) incur prior to the Completion any other liability, other than out-of-pocket and other expenses (except, with respect to the Companies or their Subsidiaries, only if such incurrence does not arise until after the Completion), (iii) take any action that would (x) unreasonably interfere with either the Parent’s or Existing Shareholders’ ongoing business operations (except, with respect to the Companies or their Subsidiaries, only if such effect does not arise until after the Completion) or (y) conflict with or violate Laws, or result in a contravention of, or that would reasonably be expected to result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any material contract to which the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, (iv) modify, waive, amend or change the terms of the AerCap Notes (as contemplated by Schedule 2.7 of the Disclosure Letter), (v) provide any inducement or business to any of the lenders of the Triggered Facilities or (vi) take any corporate action or execute any consent approving, or executing any document or agreement relating to, the Triggered Facilities (except, with respect to the Companies or their Subsidiaries, only as will be effective at the Completion). In connection with the foregoing, the Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to cause the actions set forth on Schedule 8.3(a) of the Disclosure Letter to occur.

(b)       The Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, to (a) cooperate and consult with the AerCap Entities, (b) provide the AerCap Entities with all notices and other material communications with the lenders under the Triggered Facilities related to any proposed waivers or amendments or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (c) not object to the attendance of the AerCap Entities and their Representatives at any meetings or discussions with the lenders under the Triggered Facilities related to any proposed amendments or the transactions contemplated by this clause 8.3. Any actions taken in connection with seeking any such amendments or waivers shall be in accordance with applicable Law; accordingly, without the prior written consent of the AerCap Entities, the Parent agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, take or agree or commit to take any actions under the Triggered Facilities without the prior written consent of the AerCap Entities other than those set forth in Schedule 8.3(b) of the Disclosure Letter. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the failure to obtain any Facilities Amendment by the Parent or any of its Affiliates in and of itself constitute a breach of this clause 8.3 so long as the Parent has otherwise complied with its obligations under this clause 8.3.

(c)       Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any Facilities Amendments are not obtained prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Completion Date, the Parent shall deliver, or shall cause to be delivered, on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Completion Date, payoff letters (the “Payoff Letters”) in form reasonably satisfactory to AerCap from each of the holders (or an agent on their behalf) of the applicable Triggered Facilities, which Payoff Letters shall (a) specify the aggregate amount required to be paid in order to repay in full all obligations arising under or relating to the Triggered Facility related to such Payoff Letter (including any and all Indebtedness, accrued but unpaid interest and fees and prepayment penalty obligations due upon repayment) on the Completion Date, (b) contain wire transfer instructions to make such payoff and (c) provide that upon payment of the amounts set forth in such Payoff Letters, all guarantees of, and all Encumbrances securing, such obligations shall be released and terminated and include customary undertakings to promptly prepare and file with the appropriate Governmental Authority such instruments as may be required to effect or evidence such release and termination of Encumbrances or shall include authorization for the Parent or another party designated by the Parent to prepare and file any such instruments. For the avoidance of doubt, any payments made in order to repay obligations arising under or relating to the Triggered Facilities pursuant to this clause 8.3(c) shall be made in cash by one or more of the Companies. Such payments shall reduce Target Completion Date Cash and there shall be no deduction from the consideration otherwise payable to the Existing Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement for any such payments.

8.4       Subject to any applicable Laws, during the period from the Signing Date until the Completion, except:

(a)       as otherwise contemplated by or necessary to effect the matters contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the Reorganization;

(b)       for matters identified in Schedule 8.4 of the AerCap Disclosure Letter;

(c)       as may otherwise be required by applicable Law or by the express terms of a AerCap Benefit Plan; or

(d)       as the Parent otherwise consents in writing in advance (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood and agreed that the Parent shall notify AerCap whether it grants or withholds its consent as promptly as practicable and, in the case of matters described by AerCap as exigent, within four (4) Business Days, any such consent to be confirmed by email).

AerCap shall (i) conduct its business in the ordinary course and (ii) not take any of the actions listed in Schedule 2B.

8.5       AerCap and the AerCap Entities shall use their reasonable best efforts to (a) obtain any waivers or amendments required to prevent a default or event of default under, and a breach or acceleration of, any Indebtedness of any AerCap Group Member that may arise out of or relate to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the Reorganization (any such Indebtedness, the “AerCap Triggered

Facilities”); provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the reasonable best efforts of AerCap and the AerCap Entities shall not require AerCap or any AerCap Entity to (i) pay any commitment or other similar fee or consent fee, (ii) incur any other liability, (iii) take any action that would (x) unreasonably interfere with either AerCap’s or any AerCap Entity’s ongoing business operations or (y) conflict with or violate Laws, or result in a contravention of, or that would reasonably be expected to result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any Material Contract to which AerCap or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, (iv) modify, waive, amend or change the Debt Financing, the terms of the AerCap Notes (as contemplated by Schedule 2.7 of the Disclosure Letter), any Alternative Financing or any other financing to be obtained by AerCap and/or any AerCap Entity in lieu of the Debt Financing, (v) provide any inducement or business to any of the lenders of any such Indebtedness or (vi) take any corporate action or execute any Consent approving, or executing any document or agreement relating to, the AerCap Triggered Facilities (except only as will be effective at the Completion), and (b) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, finalize the structure of the Reorganization.

8.6       [Reserved.]

8.7       (a)       To the Parent’s knowledge, a complete list of Retained Group Member Guarantees is set forth on Schedule 8.7(a) of the Disclosure Letter. AerCap and the AerCap Entities shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to (i) (A) arrange for substitute letters of credit, AerCap Entity guarantees and other obligations to replace, on or prior to the Completion Date, any outstanding Retained Group Member Guarantees, or (B) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, assume all obligations (to the extent relating to the Business) under each Retained Group Member Guarantee on or prior to the Completion Date, and (ii) obtain, on or prior to the Completion Date, from the creditor, beneficiary or other counterparty a full release (in a form satisfactory to the Parent) of all parties liable, directly or indirectly, for reimbursement to the creditor or fulfillment of other obligations to a beneficiary or counterparty in connection with amounts drawn under such Retained Group Member Guarantees (to the extent relating to the Business) (a “Retained Group Member Guarantee Release”); provided, that the failure of AerCap or the AerCap Entities to take the actions set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) with respect to any Retained Group Member Guarantee that was not notified in writing to AerCap or the AerCap Entities prior to the Completion shall not in and of itself constitute a breach of this clause 8.7, so long as AerCap and the AerCap Entities have otherwise complied with their obligations under this clause 8.7. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate with AerCap and the AerCap Entities. To the extent that a full Retained Group Member Guarantee Release is not obtained with respect to any such Retained Group Member Guarantee prior to or at the Completion, from and after the Completion, AerCap and the AerCap Entities shall, jointly and severally, (x) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Parent and its Subsidiaries against, and reimburse the Parent and its Subsidiaries for, all amounts paid that are reasonably incurred, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses in connection with such Retained Group Member Guarantee, including the Parent and its Subsidiaries’ reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses in maintaining

such Retained Group Member Guarantee, whether or not such Retained Group Member Guarantee is drawn upon or required to be performed (and such amounts shall constitute Business Liabilities hereunder), and shall in any event promptly reimburse the Parent and its Subsidiaries to the extent such Retained Group Member Guarantee is drawn upon and the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries makes any payment or reimburses the party issuing the Retained Group Member Guarantee and (y) not, without the Parent’s prior written consent, amend in any manner adverse to the Retained Group Members, or extend (or permit the extension of), any Retained Group Member Guarantee or any obligation supported by any Retained Group Member Guarantee.

(b)       To the Parent’s knowledge, a complete list of Company Group Guarantees is set forth on Schedule 8.7(b) of the Disclosure Letter. The Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to (i) (A) arrange for substitute letters of credit, Retained Group Member guarantees and other obligations to replace, on or prior to the Completion Date, any outstanding Company Group Guarantees, or (B) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, assume, on or prior to the Completion Date, all obligations under each Company Group Guarantee, and (ii) obtain, on or prior to the Completion Date, from the creditor, beneficiary or other counterparty a full release (in a form satisfactory to AerCap) of all parties liable, directly or indirectly, for reimbursement to the creditor or fulfillment of other obligations to a beneficiary or counterparty in connection with amounts drawn under the Company Group Guarantees (a “Company Group Guarantee Release”); provided, that the failure of the Parent or its Affiliates to take the actions set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) with respect to any Company Group Guarantee shall not in and of itself constitute a breach of this clause 8.7(b), so long as Parent and its Affiliates have otherwise complied with their obligations under this clause 8.7(b). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, AerCap shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate with the Parent and its Affiliates. To the extent that a full Company Group Guarantee Release is not obtained with respect to any Company Group Guarantee prior to or at the Completion, from and after the Completion, the Parent and the Existing Shareholders shall, jointly and severally, (x) indemnify, defend and hold harmless AerCap and the AerCap Entities against, and reimburse AerCap and the AerCap Entities for, all amounts paid that are reasonably incurred, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses in connection with such Company Group Guarantee, including the AerCap Group and Company Group’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses in maintaining such Company Group Guarantee, whether or not such Company Group Guarantee is drawn upon or required to be performed (and such amounts shall constitute Excluded Liabilities hereunder), and shall in any event promptly reimburse the AerCap Group and the Company Group to the extent such Company Group Guarantee is drawn upon and the Company Group makes any payment or reimburses the party issuing the Company Group Guarantee and (y) not, without AerCap’s prior written consent, amend in any manner adverse to the AerCap Group or the Company Group, or extend (or permit the extension of), any Company Group Guarantee or any obligation supported by any Company Group Guarantee.

8.8       (a) Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of each fiscal quarter ending after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Completion Date, the

Parent shall prepare and deliver to AerCap a true and correct statement (a “Quarterly Cash Flow Statement”) setting forth:

(i)       (x) the net operating, investing and financing cash flows for the Business, (y) the net cash outflows from the Business to Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Company Group) and (z) contributions of Contributed Cash pursuant clause 8.9(a), in each case that occurred during the fiscal quarter ending immediately prior to the delivery of the applicable Quarterly Cash Flow Statement (such fiscal quarter, the “Previous Quarter”) (or, in the case of the first Quarterly Cash Flow Statement delivered pursuant to this clause 8.8, during the period from October 1, 2020 through the end of the fiscal quarter ending immediately prior to the delivery of such Quarterly Cash Flow Statement), which calculation shall be reasonably detailed and prepared and determined from the Books and Records of Company Group and the Business and in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles;

(ii)       a reasonably detailed forecast setting forth the amount of all (x) net operating, investing and financing cash flows for the Business, (y) the net cash outflows from the Business to Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Company Group) and (z) contributions of Contributed Cash pursuant clause 8.9(a), in each case that the Parent reasonably estimates in good faith will occur during the fiscal quarter immediately succeeding the Previous Quarter;

(iii)        a reasonably detailed reconciliation of the amounts described in clause 8.8(a) above in respect of the Previous Quarter to the amounts set forth in the forecast in respect of such Previous Quarter that was included in the last Quarterly Cash Flow Statement delivered to AerCap pursuant to this clause 8.8; and

(iv)         a reasonably detailed illustrative calculation of the Cash Consideration that assumes that the last day of the Previous Quarter was the Completion Date and is prepared and determined from the Books and Records of the Company Group and the Business and in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles.

(b)       Following the delivery of each Quarterly Cash Flow Statement pursuant to clause 8.8(a), the Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, consult with (and consider in good faith the views) of AerCap and its Representatives in respect of such Quarterly Cash Flow Statement. AerCap and its Representatives shall be permitted to review such of the Books and Records of the Parent and its Affiliates as are reasonably necessary for AerCap’s and its Representatives’ review of each Quarterly Cash Flow Statement, and the Parent shall reasonably promptly make available the individuals in its and its Affiliates’ employ as well as Representatives of its independent accountants responsible for and knowledgeable about the information used in, and the preparation of, such Quarterly Cash Flow Statement, to respond to the reasonable inquiries of, or requests for information by, AerCap and/or its Representatives subject, in the case of the Parent’s accountants, to the execution of customary release letters. If AerCap disagrees with any item set forth in a Quarterly Cash Flow Statement, AerCap shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, deliver written notice to the Parent of the same, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement. In that case, Parent and AerCap shall discuss such disagreement in good faith to reach a resolution as to any matters identified in such notice as being in disagreement, and the Parent shall reasonably consider such past discussions and resolutions when preparing each subsequent Quarterly Cash Flow Statement.

8.9       (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from time to time during the period from the Reference Balance Sheet Date through the Completion Date, the Parent or any of its Affiliates (excluding any Company Group Member) may, contribute net cash flows to the Business (all such amounts contributed during the period from the Reference Balance Sheet Date through the Completion Date, the “Contributed Cash”) (i) to the extent such Contributed Cash will be used by the Business to make a capital expenditure permitted by clause 8.1 (and the amount of net cash flows of the Business is not sufficient to make such expenditure) or (ii) to the extent the Parent or any of its Affiliates (excluding any Company Group Member) reasonably determines in good faith that the amount of net cash flows of the Business is insufficient for the continued operation of the Business and that such contributions are reasonably necessary to enable the Business to fulfill its obligations as they come due in the then-current fiscal quarter; provided, that this clause 8.9 shall not restrict the ability of the Parent or any of its Affiliates (excluding any Company Group Member) to contribute net cash flows to or sweep net cash flows from the Business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

(b)       Within five (5) business days after the end of each calendar month, the Parent shall deliver to AerCap a notice specifying whether the Business had negative net cash flows for the recently completed calendar month together with a reasonably detailed schedule setting forth its calculation of its net cash flow for such calendar month. AerCap and its Representatives shall be permitted to review such of the Books and Records that the Parent used to determine that (i) the Business had negative net cash flows for the applicable calendar month or (ii) that Contributed Cash pursuant to clause 8.9(a)(ii) was reasonably necessary to enable the Business to fulfill its obligations as they came due in the applicable calendar month. The Parent shall reasonably promptly make available the individuals in its and its Affiliates’ employ responsible for and knowledgeable about the financial information used by the Parent in determining that the Business’s net cash flows were negative or that such Contributed Cash was reasonably necessary, and to respond to the reasonable inquiries of, or requests for information by, AerCap and/or its Representatives.

9.       AerCap General Meeting

9.1       AerCap shall take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Law and its articles of association to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold an annual or extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof (the “AerCap General Meeting”) in order to obtain the AerCap Shareholder Approval. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall prevent AerCap from including on the agenda for the AerCap General Meeting (i) the items set forth on Schedule 9.1 of the AerCap Disclosure Letter and (ii) any other matters that would not result in the violation of clause 8.4, AerCap shall procure that the appointment of the Shareholder Designee (as defined in, and chosen in accordance with, the Shareholders’ Agreement) set forth on Schedule 9.1 of the Disclosure Letter, or any replacement for such Shareholder Designee designated in writing by the Parent no later than March 12, 2021 and otherwise complying with the Shareholders’ Agreement, is proposed and recommended for approval by AerCap’s shareholders in the agenda, explanatory notes and proxy materials for the

AerCap General Meeting. The Parent and Existing Shareholders shall provide AerCap all information about such Shareholder Designee as shall be reasonably requested by the Board of Directors of AerCap, any committee thereof, or AerCap (including, at a minimum, any information regarding such proposed Shareholder Designee to the extent required by applicable Law).

9.2       AerCap shall, through its Board of Directors, communicate the AerCap Board Recommendation to its shareholders unless there has been an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with clause 9.5 and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain from its shareholders the AerCap Shareholder Approval.

9.3       AerCap shall use reasonable best efforts to do, and procure to be done, all those things necessary to ensure that the AerCap Shareholder Approval is obtained.

9.4       Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parent shall cause any shares of AerCap Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by it or any of its Subsidiaries to be voted (including by proxy) in favor of the adoption of each of the resolutions included in the AerCap Shareholder Approval.

9.5       Nothing in this clause 9 shall be deemed to prevent AerCap or the Board of Directors of AerCap from taking any action they are required to take under, and in compliance with, applicable Law (after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel); provided that the Board of Directors of AerCap shall not effect an Adverse Recommendation Change unless it has determined in good faith (after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that, as a result of a development or change in circumstances that occurs or arises after the execution and delivery of this Agreement that was not known or reasonably foreseeable (or if known, the consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable) to AerCap prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (an “Intervening Event”), failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that AerCap may only take these actions described if:

(a)       AerCap shall have provided prior written notice to the Parent and the Existing Shareholders, of its or its Board of Director’s intention to take such actions at least four (4) Business Days in advance of taking such action, which notice shall specify, as applicable, the details of such Intervening Event;

(b)       after providing such notice and prior to taking such actions, AerCap shall have, and shall have caused its Representatives to have, negotiated with the Parent and the Existing Shareholders in good faith (to the extent the Parent and the Existing Shareholders desire to negotiate) for a period of four (4) Business Days to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would permit AerCap and the Board of Directors of AerCap not to take such actions; and

(c)        the Board of Directors of AerCap shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement or other arrangements that may be offered in writing by the Parent and the Existing Shareholders by 5:00 PM Eastern time on the fourth (4th) Business Day of such four (4) Business Day period and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that it would continue to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law not to effect the Adverse Recommendation Change if such changes offered in writing by the Parent were given effect.

9.6       AerCap shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Stock Consideration to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Completion.

10.       Debt Financing

10.1       AerCap and the AerCap Entities shall use, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to use, reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Financing Commitments, including using reasonable best efforts to (a) maintain in full force and effect the Debt Financing Commitments until the earliest of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the termination of this Agreement and the time at which any Alternative Financing is obtained, (b) satisfy (or cause their Affiliates to satisfy) on a timely basis all conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing that are applicable to it and within its control as set forth in the Debt Financing Commitments and such definitive agreements as are to be entered into pursuant thereto (such agreements, the “Debt Financing Agreements”), (c) negotiate and enter into the Debt Financing Agreements on terms and conditions described in the Debt Financing Commitments (including any “flex” provisions contained therein) or otherwise on terms that would not (1) reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing below the amount necessary to satisfy the AerCap Entities’ obligation to pay (x) the aggregate Cash Consideration and (y) any fees and expenses of or payable by the AerCap Entities or AerCap in connection with the Completion and the Debt Financing or (2) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise adversely amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the receipt of the Debt Financing, (d) enforce its rights under the Debt Financing Commitments and (e) consummate the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments at or prior to the Completion and to timely cause the Lenders party thereto to fund the Debt Financing. In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Financing Commitments, AerCap shall promptly notify the Parent and the Existing Shareholders in writing of such unavailability and, to its knowledge, the reason therefor, and AerCap and the AerCap Entities shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternative financing from alternative sources (“Alternative Financing”) on terms that will enable AerCap to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that are not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Companies or AerCap (in the reasonable judgment of AerCap) than the terms set forth in the Debt

Financing Commitments and would not involve any conditions to funding the Debt Financing that (1) are not contained in the Debt Financing Commitments and (2) would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Debt Financing or such Alternative Financing. AerCap shall deliver to the Parent and the Existing Shareholders true and complete copies of all agreements pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide AerCap with the Alternative Financing (except for customary non-disclosure agreements and except that fee letters and engagement letters may be redacted in a customary manner). Except for any increased fees or original issue discount as contemplated in the “flex” provisions of the fee letters related to the Debt Financing, AerCap shall not agree to or permit, without the Parent’s prior written consent, any amendment, supplement or other modification of, or any waiver of any of its rights under, the Debt Financing Commitments if such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver (A) reduces the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing below the amount necessary to satisfy the AerCap Entities’ obligation to pay (1) the aggregate Cash Consideration and (2) any fees and expenses of or payable by the AerCap Entities or AerCap in connection with the Completion and the Debt Financing or (B) adds any covenants or conditions, compliance with which would result in a breach or default under any Indebtedness of any Company Group Member, or (C) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (I) materially delay or prevent the Completion, (II) make the funding of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing) less likely to occur, (III) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing below the amount necessary to satisfy the AerCap Entities’ obligation to pay (x) the aggregate Cash Consideration and (y) any fees and expenses of or payable by the AerCap Entities or AerCap in connection with the Completion and the Debt Financing or (IV) adversely impact the ability of AerCap to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the likelihood of AerCap doing so or (V) adversely impact the ability of AerCap to enforce its rights against other parties to the Debt Financing Commitments or the Debt Financing Agreements. AerCap shall promptly deliver to the Parent, Existing Shareholders and the Companies copies of any amendment, supplement or other modification of, and any waiver with respect to, the Debt Financing Commitments promptly upon execution thereof. AerCap shall give the Parent and the Existing Shareholders prompt written notice of (x) any material breach, default, repudiation, cancellation or termination by any party to the Debt Financing Commitments of which AerCap becomes aware or any termination of all or a portion of the Debt Financing Commitments, or (y) any material dispute or disagreement between or among AerCap, on the one hand, and the Lenders on the other hand, or, to the knowledge of AerCap, among any Lenders with respect to the obligation to fund any of the Debt Financing or the amount of the Debt Financing to be funded at Completion. If at any time for any reason AerCap believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments or the Debt Financing Agreements, AerCap shall deliver prompt written notice thereof to the Parent and the Existing Shareholders. AerCap shall keep the Parent and the Existing Shareholders informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing and provide to the Parent copies of all related

documents, including drafts of the Debt Financing Agreements and the definitive versions thereof, as is reasonably necessary to keep the Parent and the Existing Shareholders so informed upon request of the Parent. In no event shall the unavailability of any funds or financing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Debt Financing) by or to AerCap or any of its Affiliates or compliance by AerCap with this clause 10.1 excuse AerCap or any of its Affiliates from performance of any of its respective obligations hereunder. As applicable, references in this Agreement (other than with respect to representations made by the AerCap Entities or AerCap that speak as of the Signing Date) to (i) the Debt Financing shall include any Alternative Financing, (ii) the Debt Financing Commitments shall include any commitment letter or other agreement pursuant to which any alternative source shall have committed to provide the AerCap Entities or AerCap with any portion of any Alternative Financing and (iii) the Debt Financing Agreements shall include the definitive documentation relating to any Alternative Financing.

The Existing Shareholders hereby consent to the use of trademarks, service marks and logos of the Company Group Members in connection with the arranging of the Debt Financing (including in any rating agency presentation, bank information memoranda, “road shows” and other investor presentations, offering memoranda, prospectuses and/or any private placement memoranda), provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries or the reputation or the goodwill of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective intellectual property rights. AerCap (x) shall, promptly upon request by the Parent or the Existing Shareholders, reimburse the Parent and the Existing Shareholders for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by the Parent, the Existing Shareholders or the Companies and their Subsidiaries in connection with such cooperation in compliance with their respective obligations under this clause 10.2 and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Parent, the Existing Shareholders and the Companies and their Subsidiaries, and their respective Representatives, for any and all Losses actually suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, any action taken by them at the request of the Parent pursuant to this clause 10.2 and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than information provided in writing by each of the Companies or their Subsidiaries specifically for use in connection therewith) and (y) acknowledges and agrees that the Parent, the Existing Shareholders, the Companies and their respective

Representatives shall not have any responsibility for, or incur any liability to any person prior to the Completion under, the Debt Financing. In the event of any inconsistency between this clause 10.2 and clause 8.3, clause 8.3 will prevail.

10.3       AerCap and the AerCap Entities shall cause any Debt Financing, Alternative Financing or any amendments or refinancings of the AerCap Notes or existing AerCap Indebtedness to not include any provision which would prohibit or impede or limit in any way AerCap or the AerCap Entities from making any payments required under clause 7.2 or any other payment to the Parent or Existing Shareholders required pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

11.       Undertakings

11.1       Following the Completion, AerCap and the AerCap Entities on the one hand and the Parent and the Existing Shareholders on the other shall promptly make or cause to be made (which shall in no event be later than any date required by applicable Law) all filings and notifications with all Governmental Authorities that are necessary, proper or advisable to complete and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or as required by applicable Law. Before making or causing to be made any of the foregoing filings or notifications, subject to applicable Laws relating to the sharing of information, the relevant party shall provide the other with a draft of the filing or notification and a reasonable opportunity to review such draft, and shall consider in good faith the views of such other party regarding such filing or notification. Promptly after any of the foregoing filings or notifications have been made, the relevant party shall provide a copy thereof to the other party, subject to applicable Law.

11.2       Nothing in clause 11.1 shall require any party or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives to disclose:

(a)       any information that in the reasonable judgment of such party would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties or violate any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality; or

(b)       any privileged information or confidential competitive information of any party, unless required by, or in accordance with, an order, ruling or determination of a Governmental Authority or applicable Law.

11.3       The Parent and the Existing Shareholders covenant and undertake to AerCap and the AerCap Entities that, except actions involving solely AerCap, the AerCap Entities and their Affiliates, from the Signing Date until the Completion Date (or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms contained herein), neither the Parent nor the Existing Shareholders shall, and the Parent and the Existing Shareholders shall cause their respective Affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees, agents or Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit any offers or proposals from any person relating to the sale, disposition, issuance, grant or other transfer of any securities, material assets or business of any of the Company Group Members or any Transferred Assets (other than the sale of assets in the ordinary course of business or as

expressly permitted by this Agreement) or any other material transaction that would prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of the Existing Shareholders to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Long-Stop Date (other than as permitted by this Agreement) (any of the foregoing other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, a “Competing Transaction”), (ii) enter into or continue any discussion or negotiation in respect of a Competing Transaction, or provide any confidential information to any person in connection with a Competing Transaction, or (iii) enter into any definitive documentation in connection with or consummate any Competing Transaction.

11.4       The Existing Shareholders shall procure that, on or prior to the Completion Date, each Company Group Member terminate its participation in each Benefit Plan of the Parent and its Subsidiaries that is not a Company Benefit Plan, and in no event shall any Continuing Employee be entitled to accrue any benefits under any such Benefit Plans with respect to services rendered or compensation paid on or after the Completion Date. Subject to applicable Law, the applicable Company Group Member shall retain all rights, liabilities and obligations under each Company Benefit Plan on and after the Completion Date (whether such rights, liabilities or obligations arose or arise before, on or after the Completion Date), and the Retained Group shall have no liabilities or obligations thereunder and shall be fully indemnified by AerCap, the AerCap Entities and the Company Group Members against any Losses in respect thereof. The Retained Group shall retain all rights, liabilities and obligations in respect of each Benefit Plan of the Parent and its Subsidiaries that is not a Company Benefit Plan on and after the Completion Date (whether such rights, liabilities or obligations arose or arise before, on or after the Completion Date), and AerCap, the AerCap Entities and the Company Group Members shall have no liabilities or obligations thereunder and shall be fully indemnified by the Parent, the Existing Shareholders and each of their respective Subsidiaries against any Losses in respect thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the allocation of liability as between AerCap, the AerCap Entities and the Company Group Members hereunder, on the one hand, or the Parent, the Existing Shareholders and their Subsidiaries (other than the Company Group Members), on the other hand, be construed to enlarge or reduce the amount of any compensation required to be paid to a Continuing Employee or a Pre-Completion Company Employee under the applicable Benefit Plan or require any additional payment or benefit to be provided to a Continuing Employee or a Pre-Completion Company Employee by any Person.

11.5       For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of clause 11.4 (i) the Parent or one or more of its Affiliates (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries) shall retain all liabilities and obligations in respect of the Equity Arrangements (whether such liabilities or obligations arose or arise before, on or after the Completion), and (ii) all Equity Arrangements held by Company Employees shall be treated in accordance with the terms thereof.

11.6       (a)       On or prior to the Completion Date, the Existing Shareholders and their Affiliates shall procure that, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i)       the employment of each Existing Shareholder Business Employee shall be transferred to either of the Companies or any other Company Group Member and following such transfer shall no longer be considered an Existing Shareholder Business Employee; and

(ii)       the employment of each employee of any Company Group Member whose duties do not relate primarily to the Business shall be transferred to the Existing Shareholders or an Affiliate (other than a Company Group Member).

(b)       To the extent necessary to comply with applicable Law, including TUPE, to avoid adverse Tax consequences or as otherwise not covered by clause 11.6(a), the AerCap Entities shall make offers of employment to each Existing Shareholder Business Employee on terms consistent with this clause 11.

(c)       Notwithstanding the provisions of clause 11.6(a) and to the extent allowable under applicable Law, no Inactive Company Employee shall be transferred to or otherwise become employed by AerCap, the AerCap Entities or their respective Affiliates (and no Inactive Company Employee shall remain employed by any Company Group Member) as of the Completion Date. Inactive Company Employees shall become Continuing Employees only upon their return to active employment with AerCap, the AerCap Entities or their respective Affiliates following the receipt and acceptance of an offer of employment from the AerCap Entities in accordance with clause 11.6(b), provided such Inactive Company Employee returns to active employment within 180 days following the Completion Date, except where otherwise required by applicable Law. The Parent and the Existing Shareholders or their respective Affiliates shall notify AerCap or the AerCap Entities upon receiving notice of an Inactive Company Employee’s pending return to work.

(d)       In the event, (i) the AerCap Entities and their Affiliates (A) do not provide an offer of employment on terms consistent with this clause 11 to an Existing Shareholder Business Employee who is required to receive an offer of employment pursuant to clause 11.6(b) or an Inactive Company Employee in accordance with clause 11.6(c), (B) an Inactive Company Employee does not accept an offer of employment with AerCap, the AerCap Entities or their Affiliates in accordance with clause 11.6(c), or (C) an Existing Shareholder Business Employee located outside of the United States refuses a transfer of employment to a Company Group Member and (ii) such individual’s employment with Parent and its Affiliates terminates no later than 30 days following the Completion Date or the Inactive Company Employee’s return to active employment, as applicable, then AerCap or the AerCap Entities shall, or shall cause their Affiliates to, reimburse and otherwise hold harmless the Existing Shareholders and their Affiliates for all severance, termination indemnity and other similar benefits that are incurred by the Existing Shareholders and any of their Affiliates in connection with such termination pursuant to applicable Law or the terms of a Benefit Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Completion Date.

11.7       As to each Continuing Employee, during the period commencing on the Completion Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Completion Date (the “Benefits Continuation Period”), AerCap and the AerCap Entities shall maintain the terms and conditions of the severance policy, practice or arrangement of Parent, the Existing Shareholders or their Affiliates in which the Continuing Employee participates

immediately before the Completion Date, as disclosed to the AerCap Entities, and taking into account the Continuing Employee’s length of service with Parent, the Existing Shareholders and their Affiliates prior to the Completion Date and length of service with each Company Group Member on and after the Completion Date; provided, however, if Parent or its Subsidiaries increase benefits payable under any existing severance or termination pay policies prior to the Completion Date, in no event shall the severance provided to any Continuing Employee be greater than the severance provided under the applicable AerCap Benefit Plans as disclosed to the Companies.

11.8       AerCap and the AerCap Entities shall, or shall procure that the Company Group Members shall, during the Benefits Continuation Period, pay or provide or cause to be paid or provided to each Continuing Employee, for the period during the Benefits Continuation Period that such Continuing Employee continues as an employee of one of the Company Group Members, (i) salary or wages that are no less favorable than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Completion Date, (ii) target incentive opportunity (excluding equity-based incentive compensation ) that are no less favorable than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Completion Date and (iii) health insurance, life insurance and defined contribution retirement benefits that are comparable in the aggregate to those provided prior to the Completion Date under the Company Benefit Plans or Parent Benefit Plans (excluding severance (for which clause 11.7 shall apply)). In addition, from and after the Completion Date, AerCap and the AerCap Entities shall, or shall cause the Company Group Members to, credit the current Continuing Employees with the same amount of service as was credited by the Company Group Members, or in the case of the Existing Shareholder Business Employees, the Existing Shareholders or their Affiliates prior to the Completion Date (x) for eligibility and vesting purposes under Benefit Plans and (y) for purposes of vacation or other paid time off benefit determinations, in the case of each of (x) and (y) under any AerCap Benefit Plans in which they participate on or after the Completion Date, except to the extent that such a credit would result in the duplication of benefits. AerCap and the AerCap Entities shall, or shall cause their Affiliates to, assume (i) all employment, retention agreements (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Retention Bonuses) and cash incentive or bonus programs covering Continuing Employees as of the Completion Date and (ii) all accrued but unused vacation by Continuing Employees. For purposes of clarity AerCap and the AerCap Entities agree to pay all accrued but unpaid bonuses for Continuing Employees in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plan.

11.9       The parties acknowledge and agree that clauses 11.4 through 11.8 are for the sole benefit of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall (a) be treated as an amendment to, or be construed as amending, any Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan, (b) prevent AerCap, the AerCap Entities and their Affiliates from terminating any Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan in accordance with its terms, (c) prevent AerCap, the AerCap Entities and their Affiliates, on or after the Completion, from terminating the employment of any Continuing Employee or (d) confer any rights or remedies (including third-party beneficiary rights) on any current or former director, employee, consultant or independent contractor of Parent, any Parent Group Member, Company Group Member or any of their respective Affiliates or any beneficiary

or dependent thereof or any other Person, including any Continuing Employee or any Pre-Completion Company Employee.

11.10      Prior to the Completion, as may be reasonably requested by AerCap, each of the Parent and the Existing Shareholders shall, and shall cause each Company Group Member to, conduct preparations and related actions in connection with the Reorganization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Parent nor the Existing Shareholders shall be required to (i) incur any liability (other than out-of-pocket and other expenses pursuant to this clause 11.10, it being understood that all such out-of-pocket and other expenses shall be subject to reimbursement by AerCap in accordance with the last sentence of this clause 11.10) in connection with the Reorganization or (ii) except only as will be effective upon the Completion, take any corporate action approving, or execute any document or agreement to effect the Reorganization. AerCap shall, promptly upon request by the Parent, reimburse the Parent and the Existing Shareholders for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable professionals’ fees) incurred by the Parent, the Existing Shareholders or any Company Group Member in compliance with their respective obligations under this clause 11.10. For the avoidance of doubt, no liability incurred pursuant to this section shall result in a reduction in the Final Completion Date Cash Consideration.

11.11       (a) Subject to clause 11.11(b) the AerCap Entities and AerCap covenant and undertake to the Parent and Existing Shareholders that, except actions involving solely the Parent and Existing Shareholders, AerCap and its Affiliates, from the Signing Date until the Completion Date (or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms contained herein), none of the AerCap Entities or AerCap shall, and AerCap shall cause its Affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees, agents or Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit any offers or proposals from any Person relating to the sale, disposition, issuance, grant or other transfer of any securities, material assets or business of any of AerCap or its Subsidiaries (other than sales of assets in the ordinary course of business or as expressly permitted by this Agreement) if the public disclosure of such offer or proposal would reasonably be expected to cause the Required AerCap Shareholder Approval to not be obtained or any other material transaction that would prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of the AerCap Entities or AerCap to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Long-Stop Date (other than as permitted by this Agreement), including any Acquisition Proposal (any of the foregoing other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, an “AerCap Competing Proposal”), (ii) enter into or continue any discussion or negotiation in respect of an AerCap Competing Proposal, or provide any confidential information to any Person in connection with an AerCap Competing Proposal, or (iii) enter into any definitive documentation in connection with or consummate any AerCap Competing Proposal; provided that if prior to the time that the Required AerCap Shareholder Approval is obtained, AerCap receives from any Person a bona fide AerCap Competing Proposal that did not result from a breach of any provision of this clause 11.11, AerCap and its Representatives may contact such Person to (i) request that such Person submit such AerCap Competing Proposal in writing and/or (ii) consult with such Person solely for the purpose of clarifying the terms of the AerCap Competing Proposal.

(b)       If, prior to the time the Required AerCap Shareholder Approval is obtained, AerCap receives a bona fide written AerCap Competing Proposal from any Person that (i) did not result from a breach of any provision of this clause 11.11 and (ii) the Board of Directors of AerCap concludes in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, (x) AerCap and its Representatives may provide non-public information with regard to AerCap and its Subsidiaries in response to a request therefor by such Person if AerCap receives from such Person (or has received from such Person) an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (a copy of which AerCap shall promptly (but in any event, within 24 hours) provide to the Parent following execution thereof), provided that AerCap shall promptly (but in any event, within 24 hours) make available to the Parent and Existing Shareholders any non-public information concerning AerCap or its Subsidiaries that is provided to any Person given such access which was not previously made available to the Parent or Existing Shareholders, and (y) AerCap and its Representatives may engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with such Person, in each case, provided that the Board of Directors of AerCap concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action described in the foregoing clauses (x) or (y) would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(c)       From and after the Signing Date until the time the Required AerCap Shareholder Approval is obtained, AerCap shall promptly notify the Parent orally (and then in writing within 24 hours) after it or any of its Subsidiaries has received any request for discussions or negotiations, any request for access to the properties or books and records of AerCap or any of its Subsidiaries of which AerCap or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives is or has become aware, or any request for information relating to AerCap or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, in connection with an AerCap Competing Proposal or any proposal, inquiry, offer or request relating to or constituting an AerCap Competing Proposal or a potential AerCap Competing Proposal or any amendments to the financial or material terms of the foregoing. Such notice to the Parent shall indicate the identity of the Person making such proposal or request and the material terms and conditions of such proposal, if any. AerCap shall keep the Parent reasonably informed on a current basis (and in any event within 24 hours) of the status of any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any such AerCap Competing Proposal (including, with respect to any AerCap Competing Proposal, prior to initially furnishing any information or commencing any discussions or negotiations pursuant to clause 11.11(b), advising the Parent and the Existing Shareholders of any determination by the Board of Directors of AerCap pursuant to clause 11.11(b)(ii)) or any change to the financial or material terms of any such AerCap Competing Proposal, including by providing a copy, if applicable, of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements, regarding any such AerCap Competing Proposal within twenty-four (24) hours after the receipt thereof.

11.12      No later than the first date on which the Parent or the Existing Shareholders could make any offering of AerCap Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, AerCap shall prepare and file a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act on Form F-3 or S-3, as applicable, providing for the public offering and resale of all of the shares of Stock Consideration, on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act and to the extent such shelf registration statement has not yet been declared effective or is not automatically effective

upon filing, cause such shelf registration statement to be declared or become effective, subject to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement.

11.13      (a) Prior to Completion, the Parent shall notify AerCap in writing as soon as practicable upon obtaining knowledge of any Actions (including any proceeding or any investigation by or before any Governmental Authority) pending or threatened in writing against Company Group Member or to which any of their respective assets are subject which would reasonably be expected to result in Losses in excess of US$50.0 million or any permanent injunction or other form of equitable relief which would or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (provided that the failure of the Parent to comply with this clause 11.13(a) shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Parent for purposes of clause 3.1(f) or clause 7).

(b)       Prior to Completion, AerCap shall notify the Parent in writing as soon as practicable upon obtaining knowledge of any Actions (including any proceeding or any investigation by or before any Governmental Authority) pending or threatened in writing against any AerCap Group Member or to which any of their respective assets are subject which would reasonably be expected to result in Losses in excess of US$50.0 million or any permanent injunction or other form of equitable relief which would or would reasonably be expected to have a AerCap Material Adverse Effect (provided that the failure of AerCap to comply with this clause 11.13(b) shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by AerCap for purposes of clause 3.1(g) or clause 7).

11.14      Effective as of the Completion, but subject to the occurrence of the Completion, (a) except for the Specified Ireland Company 1 Intercompany Accounts and the Intercompany Accounts set forth on Schedule 11.14(a) of the Disclosure Letter, AerCap, on the one hand, and the Parent, on the other hand, shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate by payment, settlement, capitalization, cancellation, forgiveness, release or otherwise in a manner that is reasonably satisfactory to AerCap and the Parent any obligations or liabilities under the Intercompany Accounts between or among such parties, in each case, such that the Company Group Members and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Retained Group Members and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, do not have any further liabilities or obligations to one another (and without any costs or other liabilities or obligations of AerCap or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Completion, the Company Group Members)) in respect of such Intercompany Accounts following the Completion and (b) except for the Related Party Contracts set forth on Schedule 11.14(b) of the Disclosure Letter, the Related Party Contracts shall be terminated in their entirety and shall be without any further force or effect, without any further obligations or liabilities of the Retained Group Members or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and AerCap or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Completion, the Company Group Members), on the other hand, following the Completion by termination agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to AerCap and the Parent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Specified Ireland Company 1 Intercompany Accounts shall remain outstanding and shall not be repaid, settled, compromised or canceled prior to the Completion. The Parent hereby waives, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to waive, any obligation of any Company Group Member to pay any gross-up

or additional amounts in respect of any withholding Taxes imposed on any actual or deemed payment by any Company Group Member with respect to or as a result of the repayment of the Specified Ireland Company 1 Intercompany Accounts and the elimination of Intercompany Accounts pursuant to clause 11.14(a) (and in any case no such gross-up or additional amounts shall be paid in connection with such repayment and elimination, respectively). The Parent hereby agrees to accept, and shall cause each relevant Affiliate to accept, the payment of the proceeds of the issuance of the New Ireland Company Notes pursuant to clause 2.1 as a payment in complete satisfaction of the Specified Ireland Company 1 Intercompany Accounts, notwithstanding any terms to the contrary therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, intercompany accounts and balances solely between or among any of the Company Group Members shall not be affected by this clause 11.14.

11.15      (a) From and after the Completion Date, the Company Group Members shall cease to be in any manner insured by, entitled to any benefits or coverage under or entitled to seek benefits or coverage from or under any Insurance Policies other than (i) any Insurance Policy issued exclusively in the name and for the benefit of any Company Group Member (except for any such Insurance Policy which forms a part of a fronted, or equivalent, insurance program for which any Retained Group Member retains funding responsibility); (ii) with respect to any incident reported under the relevant Insurance Policies prior to the Completion Date; or (iii) with respect to any incident reported under the Available Insurance Policies within a one (1)-year period concluding on the first anniversary of the Completion Date, but solely for such incidents that took place prior to the Completion Date, in each case under clauses (i) through (iii) above subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant Insurance Policies and this Agreement, and except to the extent otherwise mandated by Law. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no benefits or coverage under the foregoing clause (iii) for incidents that take place after the Completion Date even if they are related to other similar incidents that took place prior to the Completion Date. From and after Completion, the Company Group Members shall procure all contractual and statutorily obligated insurance in respect of the Company Group Members.

(b)       The rights of the Company Group Members under subclauses 11.15(a)(ii) and (iii) above are subject to and conditioned upon the following:

(i)       The Company Group Members shall be solely responsible for notifications and updates to the applicable insurance companies and compliance with all policy terms and conditions for pursuit and collection of such claims. The Company Group Members shall not, without the written consent of the Parent, amend, modify, waive or release any rights of the Parent or other insureds under any such insurance policies and programs. The Company Group Members shall exclusively bear and be liable (and the Parent shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse the Company Group Members) for all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts relating to or associated with all such claims; and

(ii)       With respect to coverage claims or requests for benefits asserted by the Company Group Members under the Insurance Policies, the Parent shall have the right but not the duty to monitor and/or associate with such claims. The Company Group Members shall be liable for any fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Parent directly or indirectly through the Parent’s insurance Subsidiaries or Affiliates relating to any unsuccessful coverage claims by

the Company Group Members. The Company Group Members shall not assign any Available Insurance Policies or any rights or claims under the Available Insurance Policies.

For avoidance of doubt, the Parent shall have no responsibilities or obligations with respect to any matters under clause 11.15(a)(i).

(c)       Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, (i) nothing in this Agreement shall limit, waive or abrogate in any manner any rights of the Parent to insurance coverage for any matter, whether relating to the rights of the Company Group Members or otherwise; (ii) the Parent shall retain the exclusive right to control the Insurance Policies, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its Insurance Policies and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such Insurance Policies, notwithstanding whether any such Insurance Policies apply to any liabilities or losses as to which any Company Group Members has made, or could in the future, make a claim for coverage; and (iii) the Company Group Members shall cooperate with the Parent with respect to coverage claims and requests for benefits and sharing such information as is reasonably necessary to permit the Parent to manage and conduct its insurance matters.

AerCap and the AerCap Entities, on the one hand, and the Parent and the Existing Shareholders, on the other hand, shall provide or make available to the other party any information or documentation reasonably requested by such other party in their determination of the amount of Taxes subject to indemnification under clause 7.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of clause 7.3 shall not control with respect to a Tax Claim.

16.7       The Existing Shareholders shall cause all Tax allocation agreements or sharing agreements between a Company Group Member and a Retained Group Member to be terminated as of the Completion Date, and shall ensure that such agreements are of no further force or effect as to any Company Group Member on and after the Completion Date and that there shall be no further liabilities or obligations imposed on any Company Group Member under any such agreements.

16.8       All sales and transfer Taxes, stamp duties, recording charges and similar taxes, fees or charges imposed as a result of the Transaction (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by AerCap; provided that to the extent the percentage of AerCap Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Parent and its Affiliates, as a group, on the date on which any Transfer Taxes due and owing to any Tax Authority are paid to such Tax Authority (the “Subsequent Ownership Percentage”) is less than the percentage of AerCap Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Parent and its Affiliates, as a group, as of the Completion Date (the “Completion Ownership Percentage”), the Parent shall bear the portion of such Transfer Taxes equal to the quotient of (A) the difference between the Completion Ownership Percentage minus the Subsequent Ownership Percentage divided by (B) 1 (one) minus the Subsequent Ownership Percentage. The Parent shall cooperate to mitigate any such Transfer Taxes. The parties shall cooperate in timely making all filings, returns, reports and forms as necessary or appropriate to comply with the provisions of all applicable Laws in connection with the payment of such Transfer Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transfer Taxes shall not include any Taxes arising out of the Reorganization.

16.9       The Existing Shareholders shall be entitled to receive and retain any refund or other reimbursement or credit (including from any overpayment) actually received (including any amounts received prior to the Completion Date that are included in net operating, investing and financing cash flows for purposes of calculating Target Completion Date Cash) or applied to offset any other Tax liability in respect of Taxes of a Company Group Member for which the Existing Shareholders or the Parent are responsible under clauses 7.2(a) or 16.3, as applicable, other than any refund or other

reimbursement or credit that is reflected as an asset or receivable on the Unaudited Balance Sheet for the nine (9) months ended on the Reference Balance Sheet Date. The Companies shall be entitled to receive and retain any other refund or other reimbursement or credit (including from any overpayment) actually received (including any amounts received prior to the Completion Date that are included in net operating, investing and financing cash flows for purposes of calculating Target Completion Date Cash) or applied to offset any other Tax liability of a Company Group Member. The Companies and the Existing Shareholders, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other party of the receipt of any refund or other reimbursement or credit to which the other party is entitled hereunder and pay over such refund or other reimbursement or the amount of such credit, net of any cost attributable to such receipt or recognition. AerCap and the Existing Shareholders shall reasonably cooperate to amend or cause to be amended any Tax Returns to obtain any refunds to which the other party is entitled hereunder.

16.10      The Parent will use reasonable best efforts to determine and disclose to AerCap if the Parent owns any AerCap Ordinary Shares (other than the Stock Consideration) directly or indirectly through the ownership attribution rules under Section 318(a) (other than paragraph (4) thereof) of the U.S. Tax Code, except AerCap Ordinary Shares owned by the Parent through an entity in which the Parent or its Affiliate owns less than 5% of the economic interest. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the covenant under this clause 16.10 shall terminate and be extinguished as of the Completion Date, and the Parent shall have no liability with respect to such covenant after the Completion Date.

16.11     From and after the Signing Date, no Company Group Member shall (a) surrender or otherwise make available any Tax Attribute, or (b) amend any previous surrender or claim of any Tax Attribute, in each case to or, solely in the case of clause (b), from any Person that is not a Company Group Member, except to the extent such surrender, availability or amendment is required by applicable Law. For purposes of clause 16.3(c) and this clause 16.11, “Tax Attributes” include, without limitation, any trading loss, charge relief or excess capital allowance arising in relation to activities carried on by any Company which could be surrendered pursuant to Part 12, Chapter 5 of the Irish Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction, or the reallocation of any Tax payments/refunds due.

16.12     (a) Prior to the Completion,

(i)       Ireland Company 1 shall redeem or otherwise cancel all Existing Ireland Company 1 Shares that are preference shares;

(ii)      Existing Ireland Shareholder 1 shall form a new Irish company as a direct Subsidiary (“Irish Newco”);

(iii)      Existing Ireland Shareholder 1 shall contribute the Existing Ireland Company 1 Shares to Irish Newco; and

(iv)         Ireland Company 1 shall elect to be treated as disregarded from Irish Newco for U.S. Federal income tax purposes,

with steps (ii)-(iv) intended, when taken together, to qualify as a “reorganization” described in Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the U.S. Tax Code (the steps described in clauses 16.12(a)(i)-(iv), collectively, the “Ireland Company 1 F Reorganization”).

(b)       To the extent appropriate, from and after the time of the Ireland Company 1 F Reorganization, (i) references in this Agreement to Existing Ireland Shareholder 1 shall be deemed to refer mutatis mutandis to Irish Newco; and (ii) covenants of Existing Ireland Shareholder 1 in this Agreement to take, or refrain from taking, an action shall be deemed to include an obligation of Existing Ireland Shareholder 1 to cause Irish Newco to take, or refrain from taking, such action.

16.13   Prior to Completion, AerCap shall use reasonable best efforts to make (or cause to be made) an election to treat each AerCap Group Member that is a foreign Subsidiary of AerCap as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

16.14   For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes of any Company Group Member that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period or a Straddle RBS Period, respectively, the portion of any such Taxes that constitutes Pre-Completion Tax Period Taxes or Pre-RBS Tax Period Taxes, respectively shall: (i) in the case of Taxes that are either (x) based upon or related to income or receipts, or (y) imposed in connection with any sale, transfer or assignment or any deemed sale, transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the taxable year or period ended on the Completion Date or on September 30, 2020, respectively; and (ii) in the case of Taxes (other than those described in clause (i) above) that are imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the business or assets of the Company Group Members or otherwise measured by the level of any item, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period, or for the entire Straddle RBS Period, respectively, or (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding taxable period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Completion Date or the portion of the Straddle RBS Period ending on September 30, 2020, respectively and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period or Straddle RBS Period, respectively.

17.1       The terms of the confidentiality agreement, dated December 11, 2020, between the Parent and AerCap and any amendments thereto (collectively, the “Confidentiality Agreement”) are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and shall continue in full force and effect until Completion, at which time the confidentiality obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate. If, for any reason, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not completed, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

17.2       From and after Completion, the Parent and the Existing Shareholders, on the one hand, and AerCap and the AerCap Entities, on the other hand, shall, and shall procure that their respective Affiliates (including with respect to AerCap and the AerCap Entities, the Companies and the Company Subsidiaries) and Representatives shall, maintain in confidence any written, oral or other information relating to or obtained from the other parties or their Affiliates (including with respect to AerCap and the AerCap Entities following Completion, the Companies and the Company Subsidiaries), and following Completion, the Parent and the Existing Shareholders shall maintain in confidence any written, oral or other information relating or obtained from the Companies or any of the Company Subsidiaries except that the foregoing requirements of this clause 17.2 shall not apply to the extent that:

(b)       any such information is required by applicable Law, governmental order or a Governmental Authority to be disclosed after prior written notice has been given to the other party (including any report, statement, testimony or other submission to such Governmental Authority);

32.1       This Agreement, all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all claims and defenses of any nature (including contractual and non-contractual claims and defenses) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and the formation, applicability, breach, termination or validity of this Agreement (each, a “Transaction Dispute”), will be exclusively governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any Law or rule that would cause the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to be applied. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that (a) the requirements of 6 Del. C § 2708 are satisfied by the provisions of this Agreement and that such statute mandates the application of Laws of the State of Delaware to this Agreement, the relationship of the parties, the Transaction and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereunder and (b) the parties have a reasonable basis for the application of the Laws of the State of Delaware to this Agreement, the relationship of the parties, the Transaction and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereunder.

Each AerCap Manufacturer Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of each AerCap Group Member that is party thereto and, to the knowledge of AerCap, as of Manufacturer Agreement Disclosure Date, each other party to such AerCap Manufacturer Agreement, except for such failures to be valid and binding as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a AerCap Material Adverse Effect.

The AerCap Reports and the AerCap Disclosure Letter identify whether any material AerCap Manufacturer Agreement contains (i) change of control, cross default or event of default provisions that would reasonably be expected to be triggered by the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (ii) covenants purporting to restrict materially the ability of any AerCap Group Member or its Affiliates to engage in any line of business in any geographical area or otherwise purporting to restrict their ability to sell or lease AerCap Aircraft or aircraft assets other than as required by applicable Law or pursuant to legal compliance policies of the relevant counterparty or (iii) terms or conditions that permit the termination of such AerCap Manufacturer Agreement or the rescheduling of deliveries of aircraft thereunder based on the financial condition of the AerCap Group, other than terms or conditions relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and failure to pay as required thereunder.

20.4       The AerCap Form 20-F and the AerCap Disclosure Letter contain a true and complete list of (x) each AerCap Aircraft Trading Agreement and (y) each Letter of Intent which contemplates the entry into an AerCap Aircraft Trading Agreement, in each case, where the delivery of any aircraft thereunder has not yet occurred (and which has not been terminated or cancelled prior to the Aircraft Trading Agreement Disclosure Date).

Each AerCap Aircraft Trading Agreement entered into after the Aircraft Trading Agreement Disclosure Date through the Signing Date was entered into (a) pursuant to a Letter of Intent listed in the AerCap Disclosure Letter, a true and complete copy of which has been made available to the Parent, or (b) in compliance with clause 8.4 as if such clause was in effect as of

the Aircraft Trading Agreement Disclosure Date (provided that for purposes of subclause (b) of this paragraph 20.4 of Schedule 1B all references to “Signing Date” in clause 8.4 shall be deemed to be references to the “Aircraft Trading Agreement Disclosure Date”). Each AerCap Aircraft Trading Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of each AerCap Group Member that is party thereto and, to the knowledge of AerCap, each other party to such AerCap Aircraft Trading Agreement, except for such failures to be valid and binding as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a AerCap Material Adverse Effect. Each such AerCap Aircraft Trading Agreement is enforceable against each AerCap Group Member that is party thereto and, to the knowledge of AerCap, as of the Aircraft Trading Agreement Disclosure Date, each other party to such AerCap Aircraft Trading Agreement in accordance with its terms (subject in each case to the Bankruptcy Exceptions), except for such failures to be enforceable as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a AerCap Material Adverse Effect. No AerCap Group Member or, to the knowledge of AerCap, as of the Aircraft Trading Agreement Disclosure Date, any other party to an AerCap Aircraft Trading Agreement, (i) is in material default or material breach of an AerCap Aircraft Trading Agreement and, to the knowledge of AerCap, as of the Aircraft Trading Agreement Disclosure Date, there does not exist any event, condition or omission that would constitute such a material default or material breach (whether by lapse of time or notice or both), in each case, except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a AerCap Material Adverse Effect or (ii) has the right (which is exercisable) to, or, to the knowledge of AerCap, has provided notice of any intent to, cancel or terminate except for such cancelations or terminations as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a AerCap Material Adverse Effect.

(d)       If any Shareholder Designee is not appointed to the Board at any annual general meeting of the Company during the Board Seat Period (including if a Shareholder Designee was designated by the Parent and appointed prior to and effective as of the Completion (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), but is unable to serve or has resigned as a Shareholder Director as of the Completion, or any Shareholder Designee has not been elected prior to the Completion) the Parent may designate a replacement (or initial, as applicable) Shareholder Designee for appointment to the Board.

(k)       The Parent and the Shareholders acknowledge that the Company will require, prior to his or her nomination:

(i)       each Shareholder Designee to be appointed to the Board to agree in writing, on substantially the same terms as accepted in writing by the other non-executive directors of the Company, to be bound by and duly comply with applicable Law, the Articles of Association, the rules and practices applicable to the Board and its committees and the corporate governance principles applied by the Company;

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article II, the Parent will not be entitled to designate a particular Shareholder Designee (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any Shareholder Director) for appointment to the Board pursuant to this Article II in the event that the Board or any committee of the Board reasonably determines (in each case, based on the advice of outside legal counsel) that (i) the appointment of such Shareholder Designee to the Board would by virtue of the identity of such Shareholder Designee cause the Company or the appointment to not be in compliance with applicable Law, (ii) such Shareholder Designee has been the subject of any of the events enumerated in Item 2(d) or (e) of Schedule 13D under the Securities Exchange Act or Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act or is subject to any Order of any Governmental Authority prohibiting service as a director of any public company, (iii) such Shareholder Designee does not satisfy the director eligibility requirements applicable to the other members of the Board (x) as set forth on Exhibit B or (y) adopted following the Signing Date (1) to comply with changes in applicable Law, (2) in good faith by the Board in furtherance of corporate governance initiatives (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in furtherance of changes in the Dutch Corporate Governance Code) or (3) that otherwise were not adopted with the intent of adversely and disproportionately affecting Parent or any Shareholder Designee, (iv) for any Shareholder Designee that is not a senior officer of the Parent, the appointment of such Shareholder Designee to the Board would reasonably be expected to cause reputational or business harm to AerCap or (v) the appointment of such Shareholder Designee would result in a majority of the members of the Board being “United States citizens or residents” for purposes of Rule 405 under the Securities Act and Rule 3b-4(c) under the Securities Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) for one of the Shareholder Directors that Parent is entitled to designate, such Shareholder Director shall not be prevented from being designated to, or continuing to serve on, the Board by the application of any Law, eligibility requirement or other restriction described above regarding the overall composition of the Board (including relating to the number of directors that are “United States citizens or residents” or any requirement relating to diversity of the membership of the Board), (B) for the other Shareholder Director that Parent is entitled to designate, such Shareholder Director may be required to (1) not be a “United States citizen or resident” to the extent necessary to permit the Company to remain a Foreign Private Issuer and (2) satisfy any one additional requirement of any such Law, eligibility requirement or other restriction described above regarding the overall composition of the Board, but shall not be required to satisfy any other such Law, eligibility requirement or other restriction regarding overall composition of the Board and (C) the Board (and each committee thereof) shall apply all other matters addressed in clauses (i) through (iv) above in a non-discriminatory manner as among all directors of the Company. In any such case described in clauses (i) through (v) of the first sentence of this Section 2.2, the Shareholders will

withdraw the designation of such proposed Shareholder Designee or cause the resignation of such Shareholder Director and, during the Board Seat Period, be permitted to designate a replacement therefor (which replacement Shareholder Designee will also be subject to the requirements of this Section 2.2). The Company shall consult in good faith with the Parent prior to adopting any changes to its director eligibility requirements.

The Shareholders and each Investor shall deliver the completed proxy form to the Company no later than one (1) week prior to the date of such general meeting of the Company; provided that this sentence will not restrict the Shareholders’ or any Investor’s right to determine what vote to cast with respect to a particular matter beyond those restrictions otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

If the Company so elects to implement the Foundation Structure pursuant to this Section 2.3(e), then, as promptly as practicable, the Parent and each Investor shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to implement the Foundation Structure, including executing and delivering any and all Foundation Agreements.

Such notice shall set forth (to the extent known) the material terms and conditions of the proposed issuance or sale, including the proposed manner of disposition, the number or amount and description of the shares proposed to be issued or sold, the proposed issuance or sale date, the proposed purchase or subscription price per share, and an offer to each Investor to purchase or subscribe for its Pro Rata Portion of such New Securities.

Section 3.4 Majority Ownership. For so long as any Investor is a “United States shareholder” within the meaning of Section 951(b) of the Code (a “United States Shareholder”), the Company shall not take any actions out of the ordinary course of business that would reasonably be expected to cause the Company to be a CFC. Neither the Investors nor the Company shall take any action that would cause the Investors (collectively) to own (within the meaning of Section 958(a) of the Code) more than fifty percent (50%) of either (i) the total combined voting power; or (ii) the total value of the

stock of the Company, either alone or together with one or more Persons who are United States Shareholders of the Company; provided that if the Investors (collectively) do come to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the vote or value of the Company, either alone or together with one or more United States Shareholders (the number of securities in excess of such fifty percent (50%) level (by vote or value), the “Excess Shares Amount”), the Shareholders and each Investor may Transfer a number of Equity Securities of the Company equal to the Excess Shares Amount freely without regard to the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 3.1. For purposes of this Section 3.4, the term “Equity Securities” shall also include any interest treated as Equity Securities of the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 3.5 Pro Rata Redemptions. In the event of a proposed redemption or repurchase of Equity Securities of the Company by the Company or its Subsidiaries, each Investor shall be entitled to cause the Company or its Subsidiaries to redeem or repurchase Equity Securities of the Company it holds up to its Pro Rata Portion of the Equity Securities of the Company that the Company or its Subsidiary, as applicable, proposes to redeem or repurchase.

Such notice shall set forth (to the extent known) the material terms and conditions of the proposed redemption or repurchase, including the proposed manner of redemption or repurchase, the number or amount and description of the shares proposed to be redeemed or repurchased, the proposed transaction date, the proposed redemption or repurchase price per share, and an offer to each Investor to cause the Company or its Subsidiaries to redeem or repurchase Equity Securities of the Company it holds up to its Pro Rata Portion of the Equity Securities of the Company that the Company or its Subsidiary proposes to redeem or repurchase. At any time during the ten (10) day period (or such shorter period if the Company’s notice was sent, in accordance with the second sentence of this Section 3.5, less than ten (10) days prior to the proposed redemption or repurchase date) following receipt of such notice, any Investor shall have the right to elect to redeem or resell its Pro Rata Portion of the Equity Securities of the Company at the redemption or repurchase price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the notice.

TAX MATTERS

Section 5.1 Tax Return Information.

Section 5.2 PFIC and CFC Information. As soon as practicable, but in any event within eighty (80) days after the end of each taxable year, the Company will timely determine whether the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is expected to be, or was, a PFIC or CFC for any taxable year and inform the Investors of its determination. If the Company believes the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a PFIC or a CFC for any

taxable year or there is a reasonable possibility that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be a PFIC or a CFC for any taxable year, as soon as practicable, but in any event, within eighty (80) days after the end of each taxable year, the Company will prepare an annual statement that sets forth an estimate of the amount that the Investors would be required to include in taxable income on their U.S. tax returns if the Company or such Subsidiary did in fact constitute a PFIC or a CFC for such taxable year, as well as any other information required to comply with applicable CFC and PFIC reporting requirements. Each of the Investors will cooperate with the Company, and provide such information as may be reasonably requested by the Company, to determine whether the Company is a CFC.

Without limitation of the foregoing, for so long as any Investor is a “United States shareholder” within the meaning of Section 951(b) of the Code, the Company will, at the Shareholders’ request, consult with the Shareholders regarding the advisability of making an election to treat any Subsidiary for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation, a partnership or a disregarded entity under U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(a) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make an election to treat each foreign Subsidiary for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a disregarded entity and not to make an election to treat any foreign Subsidiary for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation provided that the making of such election, or failure to make such election, respectively, would not have any material adverse consequences to the Company as determined in the Company’s sole good faith discretion.
