USE AND MAINTENANCE (a) Lessee shall: (1) use the Equipment solely in the Continental United States and in the conduct of its business, consistent with Lessee's past practice, and shall not permanently discontinue use of the Equipment; (2) operate, maintain, service and repair the Equipment, and maintain all records and other materials relating thereto, (i) in accordance and consistent with (A) the Supplier's recommendations and all maintenance and operating manuals or service agreements, whenever furnished or entered into, including any subsequent amendments or replacements thereof, consistent with Lessee's past practice, (B) the requirements of all applicable insurance policies, (C) all applicable laws, and (D) the prudent practice of other similar companies in the same business as Lessee, but in any event, to no lesser standard than that employed by Lessee for comparable equipment owned or leased by it; and (ii) without limiting the foregoing, so as to cause the Equipment to be in good repair and operating condition and in at least the same condition as when delivered to Lessee hereunder, except for ordinary wear and tear; (3) not change the location of any Equipment as specified in the Equipment Schedule without prior written notice to Lessor; (4) not attach or incorporate the Equipment to or in any other item of equipment in such a manner that the Equipment may be deemed to have become an accession to or a part of such other item of equipment; and (5) cause each principal item of the Equipment to be continually marked, in a plain and distinct manner, with the name of Lessor followed by the words "Owner and Lessor," or other appropriate words designated by Lessor on labels furnished by Lessor.
(b) Within a reasonable time, Lessee will replace any parts of the Equipment which become worn out, lost, destroyed, damaged beyond repair or otherwise permanently rendered unfit for use, by new or reconditioned replacement parts which are free and clear of all liens, encumbrances or rights of others and have a value, utility and remaining useful life at least equal to the parts replaced. Title to all replacement parts and permanent improvements, or attachments to the Equipment which cannot be removed without damaging the Equipment, immediately shall vest in Lessor, without cost or expense to Lessor or any further action by any other person, and such parts, improvements and additions shall be deemed incorporated in the Equipment and subject to the terms of this Lease as if originally leased hereunder, if such parts are essential to the operation of the Equipment or cannot be detached from the Equipment without materially interfering with the operation of the Equipment or adversely affecting the value, utility and remaining useful life which the Equipment would have had without the addition thereof. Lessee shall not make any material alterations to the Equipment without prior written notice to Lessor, provided that such material alterations do not adversely affect the value, utility and remaining useful life which the Equipment would have had without the addition thereof.
(c) Upon forty-eight (48) hours' notice, Lessee shall afford Lessor access to the premises where the Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting such Equipment and all applicable maintenance or other records at any reasonable time during normal business hours; provided, however, if a default or Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, no notice of any inspection by Lessor shall be required.
