ADMINISTRATION

Reference to the Committee shall refer to the Board if the Compensation Committee ceases to exist and the Board does not appoint a successor Committee.

3.2. Authority and Action of the Committee. It shall be the duty of the Committee to administer the Plan in accordance with the Plan’s provisions. The Committee shall have all powers and discretion necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and to control its operation, including, but not limited to, the power to (a) determine which Employees, Independent Contractors and Members of the Board shall be eligible to receive Awards, (b) to grant Awards, (c) prescribe the form, amount, timing and other terms and conditions of each Award, (d) interpret the Plan and the Award Agreements, (e) adopt such procedures as it deems necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by eligible Employees, Independent Contractors and Members of the Board, (f) adopt such rules as it deems necessary or appropriate for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan, (g) interpret, amend or revoke any such procedures or rules, (h) correct any technical defect(s) or technical omission(s), or reconcile any technical inconsistency(ies), in the Plan and/or any Award Agreement, (i) accelerate the vesting or payment of any Award, (j) extend the period during which an Option may be exercisable, and (k) make all other decisions and determinations that may be required pursuant to the Plan and/or any Award Agreement or as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to administer the Plan.

The acts of the Committee shall be either (a) acts of a majority of the members of the Committee present at any meeting at which a quorum is present or (b) acts approved in writing by all of the members of the Committee without a meeting. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. Each member of the Committee is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that member by any Employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the Company’s independent certified public

accountants or any executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan.

The Company shall effect the granting of Awards under the Plan, in accordance with the determinations made by the Committee, by execution of Award Agreements or other written agreements and/or other instruments in such form as is approved by the Committee.

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

4.1. Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10.13, the number of Shares available for grants of Awards under the Plan shall be [# SHARES] Shares. Shares awarded under the Plan may be either authorized but unissued Shares, authorized and issued Shares reacquired (including Shares reacquired under any of the Prior Plans) and held as treasury Shares or a combination thereof. The payment of dividends or other distributions in Shares in conjunction with outstanding Awards shall not reduce the Shares available for grants of Awards under this Section 4.1. To the extent permitted by applicable law or exchange rules, Shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall not reduce the Shares available for grants of Awards under this Section 4.1.

4.2 Lapsed Awards. To the extent that Shares subject to an outstanding Option (except to the extent Shares are issued or delivered by the Company in connection with the exercise of a tandem SAR), RSU or other Award are not issued or delivered by reason of the expiration, cancellation, forfeiture or other termination of such Award, then such Shares shall again be available under this Plan.

ARTICLE 5

STOCK OPTIONS

5.1. Grant of Options. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Participants at such times, and subject to such terms and conditions, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. An Award of Options may include Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options or a combination thereof; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option may only be granted to an Employee of the Company or a Subsidiary and no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted more than ten years after the earlier of (a) the date this Plan is adopted by the Board or (b) the date this Plan is approved by the Company’s shareholders.

5.2. Award Agreement. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Exercise Price, the expiration date of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, any conditions to the exercise of all or a portion of the Option, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine. The Award Agreement pertaining to an Option shall

designate such Option as an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Notwithstanding any such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under this Plan or any other plan of the Company, or any parent or subsidiary as defined in Section 424 of the Code) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall constitute Non-Qualified Stock Options. For purposes of the preceding sentence, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they are granted.

5.3. Exercise Price. Subject to the other provisions of this Section, the Exercise Price with respect to Shares subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the Exercise Price with respect to an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date and the Exercise Price with respect to an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Holder shall not be less than one hundred-ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.

5.4. Expiration Dates. Each Option shall terminate not later than the expiration date specified in the Award Agreement pertaining to such Option; provided, however, that the expiration date with respect to an Option shall not be later than the tenth anniversary of its Grant Date and the expiration date with respect to an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Holder shall not be later than the fifth anniversary of its Grant Date.

5.5. Exercisability of Options. Subject to Section 5.4, Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such times, and shall be subject to such restrictions and conditions, as the

Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. The exercise of an Option is contingent upon payment by the Optionee of the amount sufficient to pay all taxes required to be withheld by any governmental agency. Such payment may be in any form approved by the Committee.

5.6. Method of Exercise. Options shall be exercised by the Participant’s delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (or his or her designee) or such other person as may be designated from time to time by the Committee, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price with respect to each such Share and an amount sufficient to pay all taxes required to be withheld by any governmental agency. The Exercise Price shall be payable to the Company in full in cash or its equivalent. The Committee, in its sole discretion, also may permit exercise (a) by tendering previously acquired Shares which have been held by the Optionee for at least six months having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, or (b) by any other means which the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to both provide legal consideration for the Shares, and to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, the Company shall deliver to the Participant Share certificates (which may be in book entry form) for such Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised.

5.7. Restrictions on Option/Share Transferability. Incentive Stock Options are not transferable, except by will or the laws of descent. The Committee may impose such additional restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option as it may deem advisable, including, but not limited to, restrictions related to applicable federal securities laws, the requirements of any national securities exchange or system upon which Shares are then listed or traded, or any blue sky or state securities laws.

ARTICLE 6

STOCK AWARDS

6.1. Grant of Stock Awards. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, Stock Awards may be granted to such Participants at such times, and subject to such terms and conditions, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

6.2. Stock Award Agreement. Each Stock Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the number of Shares with respect to which such Stock Award is granted, the price, if any, to be paid for the Shares and the Period of Restriction applicable to a Restricted Stock Award or RSU Award and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

6.3. Transferability/Share Certificates. Shares subject to an Award of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated during a Period of Restriction. During the Period of Restriction, a Restricted Stock Award may be registered in the holder’s name or a nominee’s name at the discretion of the Company and may bear a legend as described in Section 6.4.2. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, Shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company as escrow agent during the applicable Period of Restriction, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment (including a power of attorney), each endorsed in blank with a guarantee of signature if deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company, which would permit transfer to the Company of all or a portion of the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award in the event such Award is forfeited in whole or part.

6.4. Other Restrictions. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares subject to an Award of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate.

6.4.1. General Restrictions. The Committee may impose restrictions based upon applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Committee in its discretion.

6.4.2. Legend on Certificates. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may legend the certificates representing Restricted Stock during the Period of Restriction to give appropriate notice of such restrictions. For example, the Committee may determine that some or all certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock shall bear the following legend: “The sale or other transfer of the Ordinary Shares represented by this certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the AerCap Holdings N.V. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and in a Restricted Stock Agreement (as defined by the Plan). A copy of the Plan and such Restricted Stock Agreement may be obtained from the Chief Financial Officer of AerCap Holdings N.V.”

6.5. Removal of Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Award made under the Plan shall be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the termination of the Period of Restriction and, subject to the Company’s right to require payment of any taxes, a certificate or certificates evidencing ownership of the requisite number of Shares shall be delivered to the Participant.

6.6. Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.

6.7. Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction and unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, dividends and other distributions paid with respect to Shares of

Restricted Stock shall be deposited with the Company and shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

ARTICLE 7

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

7.1. Grant of SARs. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to such Participants at such times, and subject to such terms and conditions, as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that any tandem SAR (i.e., a SAR granted in tandem with an Option) related to an Incentive Stock Option shall be granted at the same time that such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

7.2. Base Price and Other Terms. The Committee, subject to the provisions of the Plan, shall have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of SARs granted under the Plan.

7.5. Payment of SAR Amount. Unless otherwise specified in the Award Agreement pertaining to a SAR, a SAR may be exercised (a) by the Participant’s delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (or his or her designee) or such other person as may be designated from time to time by the Committee setting forth the number of whole SARs which are being exercised, (b) in the case of a tandem SAR, by surrendering to the Company any Options which are cancelled by reason of the exercise of such SAR, and (c) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request. Except as otherwise provided in the relevant Award Agreement, upon exercise of a SAR, the Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying: (i) the amount by which the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise exceeds the Base Price specified in the Award Agreement pertaining to such SAR; by (ii) the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. The exercise of SAR is contingent upon payment by the Participant of the amount sufficient to pay all taxes required to be withheld by any governmental agency. Such payment may be in any form approved by the Committee.

7.6. Payment Upon Exercise of SAR. Payment to a Participant upon the exercise of the SAR shall be made, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, either (a) in cash, (b) in Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the payment or (c) in a combination thereof, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s governing documents, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

10.4. Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to Awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.

10.5. Beneficiary Designations. Subject to Section 10.6 below, a Participant under the Plan may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any vested but unpaid Award shall be paid in the event of the Participant’s death. For purposes of this Section, a beneficiary may include a designated trust having as its primary beneficiary a family member of a Participant.

10.9. Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA obligations) which the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to be withheld or remitted to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).

10.10. Withholding Arrangements. The Committee, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or part of the tax withholding obligations in connection with an Award in any manner determined by the Committee, including by (a) having the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares, or (b) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld, provided such Shares have been held by the Participant for at least six months.

10.11. No Corporate Action Restriction. The existence of the Plan, any Award Agreement and/or the Awards granted hereunder shall not limit, affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Board or the shareholders of the Company to effect or authorize any corporate action or transaction, including, without limitation, (a) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s capital structure or business, (b) any merger, consolidation or change in the ownership of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, (c) any issue of bonds, debentures, capital, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or affecting the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s capital stock or the rights thereof, (d) any dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, (e) any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s assets or business, or (f) any other corporate act or proceeding by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate. No Participant, beneficiary or any other person shall have any claim against any Member of the Board or the Committee, the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or any employees, officers, shareholders or agents of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, as a result of any such action.

10.12. Restrictions on Shares. Each Award made hereunder shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Company determines that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject to such Award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the exercise or settlement of such Award or the delivery of Shares thereunder, such Award shall not be exercised or settled and such Shares shall not be delivered unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or other action shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company may require that certificates evidencing Shares delivered pursuant to any Award made hereunder bear a legend indicating that the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof by the holder is prohibited except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any other applicable securities laws. Finally, no Shares shall be issued and delivered under the Plan, unless the issuance and delivery of those Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of gaming laws or regulations and any registration, approval or action thereunder.

10.13. Changes in Capital Structure. In the event of an “Equity Restructuring” (as defined below), the Board shall, and in the event of a “Corporate Event” (as defined herein), the Board may, in such manner as the Board in good faith deems equitable to prevent dilution or enlargement of benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, adjust any or all of (a) the number of Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted, (b) the number of Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and (c) the Exercise Price or Base Price with respect to any Award. For purposes of this Section 10.13, “Equity Restructuring” means any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, spin-off, or other equity restructuring event that causes the per-share value of the Shares to change and “Corporate Event” means any reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, repurchase, change of control or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, Change in Control, or other corporate transaction or event that the Board determines affects the Shares such than an adjustment is determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, to be necessary or appropriate.

If the Company enters into or is involved in any Corporate Event, the Board may, prior to such Corporate Event and effective upon such Corporate Event, take such action as it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, replacing Awards with substitute awards in respect of the Shares, other securities or other property of the surviving corporation or any affiliate of the surviving corporation on such terms and conditions, as to the number of shares, pricing and otherwise, which shall substantially preserve the value, rights and benefits of any affected Awards granted hereunder as of the date of the consummation of the Corporate Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if any Corporate Event occurs, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cancel each Participant’s Awards immediately prior to such Corporate Event and to pay to each affected Participant in connection with the cancellation of such Participant’s Awards, an amount that the Committee, in its sole discretion, in good faith determines to be the equivalent value of such Award. Any actions or determinations of the Committee with respect to a Corporate Event under this Section 10.13 need not be uniform as to all outstanding Awards, nor treat all Participants identically.

Upon receipt by any affected Participant of any such substitute awards or payments as a result of any such Equity Restructuring or Corporate Event, such Participant’s affected Awards for which such substitute awards or payment were received shall be thereupon cancelled without the need for obtaining the consent of any such affected Participant.

ARTICLE 11

AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND DURATION, SUB-PLANS

11.1. Amendment, Suspension or Termination. The Board, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason, subject to any requirement of stockholder approval required by applicable law, rule or regulation, including, without limitation, the Section 422 of the Code and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange; provided, however, the Board may, without shareholder or Participant approval, amend the Plan and any Award Agreement, including without limitation retroactive amendments, as necessary to avoid the imposition of any taxes under Section 409A of the Code. Subject to the preceding sentence, the amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Participant, materially adversely alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted to such Participant. No Award may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan.

11.2. Sub-Plans. The Board, in its sole discretion, may adopt sub-Plans to allow modifications of the Plan and Awards to comply with the requirements of any applicable federal, state, or local laws, rules or regulations.

11.3 Duration of the Plan. The Plan shall, subject to Section 11.1, terminate ten years after adoption by the Board, unless earlier terminated by the Board, and no further Awards shall be granted under the Plan.

Any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto under the Plan. The Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Optionee has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

4.3 On each of the first four anniversaries of the Grant Date (each a “Performance Vesting Date”), 25% of the Performance-Based Option shall become exercisable, provided that (i) the Optionee is then employed by or performing services at such time for the Company and/or one of its Subsidiaries and (ii) the Committee determines that the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for the applicable Performance Period. For purposes of this Award, the applicable Performance Period for each Performance Vesting Date shall be the one-year period immediately preceding such Performance Vesting Date and the applicable Performance Goals shall be set forth in Exhibit A, as amended from time to time by the Committee in accordance with the Plan
