In rendering the opinions expressed in this opinion letter, we have exclusively reviewed and relied upon pdf copies of the Opinion Documents and the Corporate Documents and we have assumed that the Opinion Documents have been entered into or filed, as the case may be, for bona fide commercial reasons. We have not investigated or verified any factual matter disclosed to us in the course of our review.

This opinion letter sets out our opinion on certain matters of the laws with general applicability of the Netherlands, and, insofar as they are directly applicable in the Netherlands, of the European Union, as at today’s date and as presently interpreted under published authoritative case law of the Dutch courts, the General Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union. We do not express any opinion on tax law, regulatory law, Dutch or European competition law, data protection law or securitization law. No undertaking is assumed on our part to revise, update or amend this opinion letter in connection with or to notify or inform of, any developments and/or changes of Dutch law subsequent to today’s date.

The opinions expressed in this opinion letter are to be construed and interpreted in accordance with Dutch law. This opinion letter may only be relied upon by you, and our willingness to render this opinion letter is based, on the condition that you accept and agree that (i) the competent courts at Amsterdam, the Netherlands have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any issues of interpretation or liability arising out of or in connection with this opinion letter, (ii) any legal relationship arising out of or in connection with this opinion letter (whether contractual or non-contractual), including the above agreement as to jurisdiction, is governed by Dutch law and (iii) no person other than NautaDutilh may be held liable in connection with this opinion letter.

In this opinion letter, legal concepts are expressed in English terms. The Dutch legal concepts concerned may not be identical in meaning to the concepts described by the English terms as they exist under the law of other jurisdictions. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency, the relevant expression shall be deemed to refer only to the Dutch legal concepts described by the English terms.

For the purposes of this opinion letter, we have assumed that:

a.	each copy of a document conforms to the original, each original is authentic, and each signature is the genuine signature of the individual purported to have placed that signature;

b.	if any signature under any document is an electronic signature (as opposed to a handwritten (“wet ink”) signature) only, the method used for signing is sufficiently reliable;

LOGO

c.	each Deed of Incorporation is a valid notarial deed and (where applicable) each Deed of Incorporation has been executed on the basis of a valid declaration of no objection (verklaring van geen bezwaar);

(i) at all relevant times no regulations (reglementen) have been adopted by any corporate body of any Dutch Company other than the Board Regulations and (ii) the Articles of Association of each Dutch Company are its articles of association currently in force. The Extracts support item (ii) of this assumption;

none of the Dutch Companies has (i) been dissolved (ontbonden), (ii) ceased to exist pursuant to a merger (fusie) or a division (splitsing), (iii) been converted (omgezet) into another legal form, either national or foreign, (iv) had its assets placed under administration (onder bewind gesteld), (v) been declared bankrupt (failliet verklaard), been granted a suspension of payments (surseance van betaling verleend), or started or become subject to statutory proceedings for the restructuring of its debts (akkoordprocedure), (vi) been subjected to any intervention, recovery or resolution measure pursuant to the BRRD, the SRM Regulation or the DFSA, as applicable, or (vii) been made subject to similar proceedings in any jurisdiction or otherwise been limited in its power to dispose of its assets. The Extracts and our inquiries of today with the Insolvency Registers support the items (i) through (v) (except for any statutory proceedings for the restructuring of debts (akkoordprocedure) that have not, or not yet, been filed in the Insolvency Registers) of this assumption. However, this information does not constitute conclusive evidence that the events set out in items (i) through (v) have not occurred;

f.	the resolutions recorded in the Resolutions are (and were at all relevant times) in full force and effect, and the factual statements made and the confirmations given in the Resolutions are (and were at all relevant times) complete and correct;

each Power of Attorney (i) is (and was at all relevant times) in full force and effect, and (ii) under any applicable law other than Dutch law, validly authorised and authorises the person or persons purported to be granted power of attorney, to represent and bind the relevant Dutch Company for the purposes stated therein.

LOGO

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth in this opinion letter and to any matters, documents or events not disclosed to us, we express the following opinions:

Incorporation and Corporate Status

1.	AerCap Holdings N.V. has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a naamloze vennootschap (public company with limited liability).

2.	AerCap Aviation Solutions B.V. has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid (private company with limited liability).

Corporate Power

Each Dutch Company has the corporate power to enter into the Opinion Documents, to perform its obligations thereunder and to grant the applicable Guarantee. None of the Dutch Companies violated or violates any provision of its Articles of Association by entering into the Opinion Documents, performing its obligations thereunder or by granting the applicable Guarantee.

Corporate Action

4.	Each Dutch Company has taken all corporate action required by its Articles of Association and Dutch law in connection with entering into the Opinion Documents, the performance of its obligations thereunder and for the granting of the applicable Guarantee.

Valid Signing

5.	The Registration Statement has been validly signed on behalf of each Dutch Company.

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

As Dutch lawyers we are not qualified or able to assess the true meaning and purport of the terms of the Opinion Documents under the applicable law and the obligations of the parties to the Opinion Documents and we have made no investigation of that meaning and purport. Our review of the Opinion Documents and of any other documents subject or expressed to be subject to any law other than Dutch law has therefore been limited to the terms of these documents as they appear to us on their face.

B.	The Extracts do not constitute conclusive evidence of the facts reflected therein.

Pursuant to Article 2:7 DCC, any transaction entered into by a legal entity may be nullified by the legal entity itself or its liquidator in bankruptcy proceedings (curator) if the objects of that entity were transgressed by the transaction and the other party to the transaction knew or should have known this without independent investigation (wist of zonder eigen

LOGO

onderzoek moest weten). The Dutch Supreme Court (Hoge Raad der Nederlanden) has ruled that in determining whether the objects of a legal entity are transgressed, not only the description of the objects in that legal entity’s articles of association (statuten) is decisive, but all (relevant) circumstances must be taken into account, in particular whether the interests of the legal entity were served by the transaction. Based on the objects clause contained in the Articles of Association, we have no reason to believe that by entering into the Opinion Documents any Dutch Company would transgress the description of the objects contained in its Articles of Association. However, we cannot assess whether there are other relevant circumstances that must be taken into account, in particular whether the interests of the Dutch Companies are served by entering into the Opinion Documents since this is a matter of fact.

D.	The opinions expressed in this opinion letter may be limited or affected by:

rules relating to Insolvency Proceedings or similar proceedings under a foreign law and other rules affecting creditors’ rights generally;

the provisions of fraudulent preference and fraudulent conveyance (Actio Pauliana) and similar rights available in other jurisdictions to insolvency practitioners and insolvency office holders in bankruptcy proceedings or creditors;

claims based on tort (onrechtmatige daad);

sanctions and measures, including but not limited to those concerning export control, pursuant to European Union regulations, under the Dutch Sanctions Act 1977 (Sanctiewet 1977) or other legislation;

the Anti-Boycott Regulation and related legislation;

any intervention, recovery or resolution measure by any regulatory or other authority or governmental body in relation to financial enterprises or their affiliated entities; and

the BRRD, the SRM Regulation or the DFSA, as applicable, which grants the competent authorities certain intervention, recovery and resolution tools, and powers to implement these tools, to intervene in or resolve a financial enterprise or an affiliated entity, if it or the group to which it belongs is deemed no longer viable, failing or likely to fail or threatening the stability of the financial system

LOGO

(each subject to further conditions). In order to increase the effectiveness of these tools and powers, certain restrictions may be imposed on the exercise of the rights or performance of the obligations of the parties under the Opinion Documents in the event of the use of such tools and powers. The rights and obligations of the parties to the Opinion Documents, or the enforcement thereof, may be disrupted and/or affected on the basis of the BRRD, the SRM Regulation or the DFSA, as applicable.
