(2) until Lessee is otherwise notified pursuant to Section 10(d)(3) that [•] is no longer the Servicer in respect of the Lease, the Servicer shall be conclusively presumed for all purposes, including, without limitation, the quiet enjoyment and lien-lifting covenants contained in the Operative Documents, to be acting as agent for Assignee with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and neither Lessee nor Lessor shall be under any obligation to inquire regarding such authority or regarding whether the Servicer is, or purports to be, acting for Assignee, for itself or for any other Person.

The Assignee hereby accepts such assignment, and the Engine Manufacturer hereby consents to such assignment on the terms and conditions stated herein and hereby confirms to the Assignee that all representations, warranties, indemnities, and agreements of the Engine Manufacturer under the Warranties with respect to the Engines shall inure to the benefit of the Assignee to the same extent as to the Assignor except as provided otherwise in Section 2.2 below. |
| 2.2 | Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Term of the Lease, so long, and only so long, as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Assignee hereby authorizes the Assignor, to exercise in the Assignor's name all rights in respect of the Warranties as and to the extent that the same relate to each Engine, except that the Assignor may not enter into any change order or other amendment, modification or supplement to the Warranties relating to any Engine without the prior written consent of the Assignee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if such change order, amendment, modification or supplement would result in any rescission, cancellation or termination of the Warranties with respect to such Engine or otherwise adversely affect the rights of the Assignee under the Warranties with respect to such Engine. |
| 2.3 | For all purposes of this Assignment Agreement, the Engine Manufacturer shall not be deemed to have knowledge of and need not recognize the occurrence, the continuance or the discontinuance of any Event of Default, or the expiration of the Term of the Lease (either by the passage of time or termination), unless and until the Engine Manufacturer shall have received from the Assignee written notice thereof addressed to the Engine Manufacturer’s Chief Legal Officer, at IAE International Aero Engines AG, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000 M/S 121-10 U.S.A., and, in acting in accordance with the Warranties and this Assignment Agreement, the Engine Manufacturer may conclusively rely on such notice. Until such time as notice of an Event of Default, or of the expiration of the Term of the Lease (either by the passage of time or termination), shall have been given by the Assignee to the Engine Manufacturer, the Engine Manufacturer shall with respect to the Warranties deal solely and exclusively with the Assignor. Upon receipt by Engine Manufacturer, from Assignee, of written notice of an Event of Default, or of the expiration of Term of the Lease (either by the passage of time or termination), in either case provided in accordance with this Section 2.3, the Engine Manufacturer shall with respect to the Warranties deal solely and exclusively with the Assignee. From the date of any such notice, the Engine Manufacturer shall have no liability whatsoever in any respect to Assignor with respect to the Warranties except if the Engine Manufacturer receives written notice from the Assignee that all Events of Default have been remedied or waived in accordance with the following sentence. The Assignee shall promptly, after all Events of Default have been remedied or waived, give written notice of the same to the Engine Manufacturer’s Chief Legal Officer as provided above, with a copy to the Assignor at its address for notices set forth in the Lease, |
| and upon the Engine Manufacturer’s receipt of such notice, the Engine Manufacturer shall resume the sole and exclusive dealings with the Assignor authorized, in the absence of notice of an Event of Default, or the expiration of the Term of the Lease (either by the passage of time or termination), by this Section 2. |
| 2.4 | Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) at Assignee’s option, the authorization to exercise the Warranties given to Assignor under Section 2.2 shall henceforth cease to be effective and the right to exercise such Warranties shall automatically revert to Assignee without further action by Assignee or Assignor (however, such reversion shall not be binding on the Engine Manufacturer until the Engine Manufacturer receives written notice thereof), and Assignee shall, to the exclusion of Assignor, be entitled to assert and enforce such rights, claims and interests, and Assignor shall cooperate with Assignee to enforce such rights, claims and interests; and (ii) whether or not Assignee exercises its option under clause (i) above, Assignee shall be entitled to receive all proceeds resulting from any such assertion or enforcement of rights, claims or interests (and any such proceeds received by Assignor shall be promptly paid over to Assignee) and, after deducting from the proceeds thereof all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees that may have been incurred by Assignee in connection therewith, Assignee may hold the remaining proceeds as security under the Lease until Assignor shall have cured, or Assignee in writing shall have waived, all Events of Default, or at Assignee’s option, apply all or any such remaining proceeds to the payment of any obligation of Assignor at the time due under the Lease and the balance, if any, shall be payable to Assignor when Assignor shall have cured, or Assignee shall have waived, all Events of Default. |
| 3. | Assignor’s Continuing Obligations. |
| 3.1 | It is expressly agreed that, notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary: (a) the Assignor shall at all times remain liable to the Engine Manufacturer under the terms and conditions of the General Terms Agreement and the Warranties to perform all duties and obligations of the Assignor thereunder to the same extent as if this Assignment Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Assignee of any of the rights assigned hereunder shall not release the Assignor from any of its duties or obligations to the Engine Manufacturer under the General Terms Agreement and the Warranties, except to the extent that such exercise by the Assignee shall constitute performance of such duties and obligations, (c) the Assignor will exercise its rights and perform its obligations under the General Terms Agreement and the Warranties in respect of each Engine to the extent that such rights and obligations have not been assigned hereunder, and (d) except as specifically provided in Section 3.2 with respect to the Assignee, the Assignee shall not have any obligation or liability under the General Terms Agreement or the Warranties by reason of or arising out of this Assignment Agreement or be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Assignor under the General Terms Agreement or the Warranties or to make any payment or to make any inquiry as to the sufficiency of any payment received by it or to present or file and claim or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for any payment assigned hereunder. |
| 3.2 | Notwithstanding anything contained in this Assignment Agreement to the contrary (but without in any way releasing the Assignor from any of its duties or obligations under the General Terms Agreement and the Warranties), the Assignee confirms expressly for the benefit of the Engine Manufacturer that, in exercising any rights in and to the Warranties, or in making any claim with respect thereto, the applicable terms and conditions of the Warranties and this Assignment Agreement shall apply to and be binding upon the Assignee to the same extent as the Assignor. |
| 3.3 | Nothing contained herein shall subject the Engine Manufacturer to any obligation or liability to which it would not otherwise be subject under the General Terms Agreement or the Warranties or modify in any respect the contract rights of the Engine Manufacturer thereunder or subject the Engine Manufacturer to any multiple or duplicative obligation or liability under the General Terms Agreement or the Warranties or limit any rights of set-off the Engine Manufacturer may have against the Assignor under applicable law. No further assignment of any remaining Warranties, including, but not limited to, assignments for security purposes, are permitted without the express prior written consent of the Engine Manufacturer. |
| 3.4 | So long as the Engine Manufacturer acts in good faith in accordance with this Assignment Agreement, the Engine Manufacturer may rely conclusively on any notice given by the Assignee hereunder without inquiring as to the accuracy of, or the entitlement of the Assignee to give, such notice. The Engine Manufacturer shall not be liable to either Assignee or Assignor for any costs, expenses, losses, or liabilities incurred by Assignor or Assignee as a result of the Engine Manufacturer’s reliance on such notice to the extent that the information provided in such notice proves to be incorrect. In such event, Assignor will look solely to Assignee for any damages incurred by Assignor as a result of such incorrect notice. |
| 4. | Further Assistance. |
The Assignor agrees that, at any time and from time to time upon the written request of the Assignee, the Assignor will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents and take such further action as the Assignee shall reasonably request in order to obtain the full benefits of this Assignment Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.

The Assignee shall not assign the whole or any part of the Warranties hereby assigned in respect of any Engine unless (i) such assignment is back to the Assignor in connection with the substitution of such Engine pursuant to Section 8(d) of the Lease or (ii) such assignment is consented to in writing by the Engine Manufacturer. |
| 5.3 | The Assignee agrees that it will not enter into any agreement with the Engine Manufacturer that would amend, modify, rescind, cancel or terminate the Warranties or take other action to amend, modify, rescind, cancel or terminate any of the Assignor’s rights in respect of the Warranties, without the prior written consent of the Assignor, except if the Engine Manufacturer shall have been notified in writing that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or the Term of the Lease has expired (either by the passage of time or termination). |
| 5.4 | The Assignor, Engine Manufacturer and the Assignee agree that this Assignment Agreement may not be amended, extended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived orally. Any and all amendments, extensions, modifications, supplements, terminations or waivers must be presented in writing and be signed by all parties. |
| 6. | Confidentiality. |
| 6.1 | The Assignee agrees, expressly for the benefit of the Engine Manufacturer, that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Engine Manufacturer, disclose, directly or indirectly to any third party, any terms of the Warranties or any other portion of the General Terms Agreement at any time disclosed to it by the Assignor incident to effecting the assignment herein; provided, that (a) the Assignee may use, retain, and disclose any such information to its representatives, agents, employees, bank examiners, auditors, accountants and legal counsel, each with a need to know such information, who shall maintain the confidentiality of such terms, (b) the Assignee may disclose any such terms as required by applicable law, governmental regulations, subpoena, or other written demand under color of legal right for such information but it shall first, as soon as practicable upon receipt of such demand and to the extent permitted by applicable laws, furnish a copy thereof to the Assignor and the Engine Manufacturer, and the Assignee shall afford the |
| Assignor and the Engine Manufacturer reasonable opportunity, at the moving party’s cost and expense, to obtain a protective order or other satisfactory assurance reasonably satisfactory to the Engine Manufacturer of confidential treatment for the information required to be disclosed, and (c) the Assignee may disclose such terms of the Warranties to any Person with whom it is in good faith conducting negotiations relating to a possible Back-Leveraging Transaction or permitted transfer, sale or other disposition of its rights and obligations under the Participation Agreement, the Lease and the other Operative Documents, except for any direct competitor (that is, any aircraft engine manufacturer), or any indirect competitor (that is an aircraft engine maintenance, repair and overhaul provider), of the Engine Manufacturer, subject to execution by such Person of a written confidentiality statement setting forth the same or substantially similar terms as those referred to in this Section 6 and (d) the Assignee may disclose such terms of the Warranties to any bona fide potential purchaser or lessee of the Engines or to any bona fide potential financing party providing financing in respect of the Engines and/or the Aircraft, except for any direct competitor (that is, any aircraft engine manufacturer), or any indirect competitor (that is an aircraft engine maintenance, repair and overhaul provider), of the Engine Manufacturer, subject to execution by such Person of a written confidentiality statement setting forth the same or substantially similar terms as those referred to in this Section 6. |

Each of Engine Manufacturer, Assignor and Assignee agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, knowingly sell, export, re-export, transfer, divert, or otherwise dispose of any Goods to any Prohibited Party without obtaining prior authorization from the relevant government authorities as required pursuant to Export Laws. |

If permitted by the relevant Export Laws, the Engine Manufacturer will, prior to any suspension of its performance under this Assignment Agreement or, if not possible (acting reasonably), immediately after any suspension of its performance under this Assignment Agreement, notify the Assignor and the Assignee in writing stating the grounds for its reason to believe that the Assignor or the Assignee, as the case may be, has breached the Export Laws. |
| 8. | Limitation of Liability of Engine Manufacturer. |
The express provisions of the Warranties set forth the maximum liability of IAE with respect to any claims relating to the Warranties. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the express provisions of the Warranties and any illustrations contained therein, the express provisions shall apply. In no event will Engine Manufacturer have any liability for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages under the Warranties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit Engine Manufacturer’s obligations and liabilities (1) to the extent caused by or arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Engine Manufacturer, (2) to the extent of any express indemnity obligation of Engine Manufacturer in this Assignment Agreement or the Warranties or (3) with regard to injury, damage, cost or expense, or other liability claimed by any third party, whether asserted against Assignor or its affiliates, Assignee or its affiliates or Engine Manufacturer or its shareholders.
