Section 6. Return of Equipment.

Section 6.1 Redelivery. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term with respect to each Item of Equipment (unless Obligor has exercised its transfer option with respect thereto pursuant to Sections 25.2 or 25.4 hereof or a third party sale thereof acceptable to Corporate Obligee is consummated on the Termination Date with respect thereto pursuant to Section 25.3 hereof), Obligor will, at its expense, dismantle, surrender and deliver possession of each Item of Equipment to Corporate Obligee at the Redelivery Location with a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of Obligor certifying that the Item of Equipment is in the condition required hereunder, a copy of an inventory list for each Item, proof of payment by Obligor to the Person from whom Obligor acquired such Item of Equipment in the form of a canceled check or wire transfer confirmation, all then current plans, specifications and operating, maintenance, and repair manuals and logs relating to each Item that have been prepared or received by Obligor, and with respect to any Item of Equipment which qualifies for or is subject to any manufacturer’s maintenance, repair or warranty policy, a statement or certificate that has been signed by an authorized representative of the manufacturer attesting to such condition.

Section 6.3. Holdover Equipment Payment. Each Item of Equipment shall be deemed redelivered upon satisfaction of the obligations and conditions set forth in Section 6.1 hereof. Until each such Item of Equipment has been returned to Corporate Obligee in the condition and as otherwise provided in this Section 6, Obligor shall continue to pay Corporate Obligee, on the same dates on which an Equipment Payment for such Item was payable during the Term thereof 125% of the Equipment Payment for such Item that was payable on the last Payment Date of the Term thereof; provided, that during such holdover period, Obligor shall use its best efforts to secure the return of the Equipment as required under this Section 6. The provision for payment pursuant to this Section 6 shall not abrogate Corporate Obligee’s right under this Section 6 to have such Equipment returned to it hereunder.

Section 6.4. Specific Performance. The provisions of this Section 6 are of the essence of this Equipment Agreement, and upon application to any court of equity having jurisdiction in the premises, Corporate Obligee shall be entitled to a decree against Obligor requiring specific performance of the covenants of Obligor set forth in this Section 6.

Section 7. Payments.

Section 7.1 Interim Equipment Payment. Obligor hereby agrees to pay Corporate Obligee an Equipment Payment for each Item of Equipment on each Payment Date during the Interim Term therefor, in an amount equal to the sum of (a) the Debt Amortization Payment due on such Payment Date for such Item (b) an amount calculated by multiplying the Outstanding Debt Amount for such Item immediately prior to such payment by the Applicable Debt Rate and (c) an amount calculated by multiplying the Equity Component for such Item by the Equity Rate and in the case of clauses (b) and (c) for the number of days elapsed since the immediately preceding Payment Date, or in the case of the first payment of an Equipment Payment during the Interim Term, the Acceptance Date thereof.

Section 9. Grant of Security Interest; Equipment to be and Remain Personal Property. This Equipment Agreement is a financing agreement intended as security. Obligor hereby grants, bargains, assigns, transfers, conveys and pledges to Corporate Obligee a security interest in and Lien upon all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Equipment, this Equipment Agreement, each Subsidiary Equipment Agreement and each Security Document to which it is a party and all proceeds thereof as collateral security for the payment and performance by Obligor of Obligor’s obligations as Obligor under the Operative Documents. For each Item of Equipment located in the United States, France, Germany or England, Obligor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to Corporate Obligee from time to time such confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing and continuation statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, notes, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further actions which are appropriate or advisable to perfect, preserve or protect Corporate Obligee’s security interest granted hereunder or which Corporate Obligee deems necessary or advisable in order to obtain the full benefits of the Liens created or intended to be created hereunder, and will take such other actions reasonably requested by Corporate Obligee to effectuate the intent of the Operative Documents. Obligor will pay all applicable filing fees and related expenses. It is the intention and understanding of both Corporate Obligee and Obligor, and Obligor shall take all such actions as may be required to assure, that the Equipment shall be and at all times remain personal property, notwithstanding the manner in which the Equipment may be attached or affixed to realty. Obligor shall obtain and record such instruments and take such steps as may be necessary to prevent any Person from acquiring any rights in the Equipment by reason of the Equipment being claimed or deemed to be real property.

Section 10. Use of Equipment; Compliance with Laws. Obligor agrees that each Item of Equipment will be used and operated solely in the conduct of its business or that of its Subsidiaries in the manner for which it was intended, in accordance with the license or certificate, if any, provided by the manufacturer thereof and in compliance with any and all insurance policy terms, conditions and provisions and with all Applicable Laws of any Governmental Entity applicable to the use and operation of the Equipment, including, without limitation, environmental, noise and pollution laws (including notifications and reports). Obligor shall procure and maintain in effect all licenses, registrations, certificates, permits, approvals and consents required by federal, national, state or local laws or by any governmental body, agency or authority in connection with the ownership, delivery, installation, use and operation of each Item of Equipment, including, without limitation, those required by environmental, noise and pollution laws (including notifications and reports) and including, in the case of any Item subject to titling and registration laws, all titles, registrations, registration plates, permits, licenses, and all renewals thereof. Other than as expressly set forth in the following sentence, no Item of Equipment shall be used or located at a location other than that identified therefor on the Related Equipment Agreement Supplement and in no event shall any Item of Equipment be used or located outside of the United States, England, Wales, France, Switzerland, Germany, Hungary,Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden or the Netherlands; provided, however, that Items of Equipment, the aggregate of the Acquisition Costs for which does not exceed $1,500,000 may, subject to the prior written consent of the Corporate Obligee and the Majority Lenders, be located in Mexico. Obligor shall use reasonable precautions to prevent loss or damage to each Item of Equipment from fire and other hazards. Obligor shall not permit any Item of Equipment to be used in any unlawful trade or in any manner that would violate any law that would expose such Item of Equipment to penalty, forfeiture or capture.

Section 11. Maintenance and Repair of Equipment. Obligor agrees, at its own cost and expense, to keep, repair, maintain, service and preserve the Equipment in good repair, operating and serviceable condition and shall keep the Equipment in order and condition equal to or better than other equipment of the same type owned by Obligor, and in compliance with all requirements of law applicable to the maintenance and condition of the Equipment, including, without limitation, environmental, noise and pollution laws and regulations (including notifications and reports) of any legislative, executive, administrative or judicial body exercising any power or jurisdiction over the Equipment, to the extent that such laws and rules affect the title, operation, maintenance or use of the Equipment, and in the event that such laws or rules require any alteration, replacement or addition of or to any part on any Equipment, Obligor will conform therewith at its own expense. With respect to any Item of Equipment which qualifies for or is subject to any manufacturer’s maintenance, repair or warranty policy, such maintenance or repair will be only performed in a manner consistent with such policy. Obligor agrees to prepare and deliver to Corporate Obligee and any Assignee within a reasonable time prior to the required date of filing (or, to the extent permissible, file on behalf of Corporate Obligee and any Assignee) any and all reports (other than income tax returns) to be filed by Corporate Obligee or any Assignee with any Governmental Entity by reason of the ownership by Corporate Obligee or any Assignee of the Items of Equipment or the leasing thereof to Obligor. Obligor agrees to maintain all records, logs and other materials required by any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Items of Equipment or Obligor, to be maintained in respect of each Item of Equipment. Obligor hereby waives any right now or hereafter conferred by law to make repairs on the Equipment at the expense of Corporate Obligee.

Section 13. Identification Marks; Inspection. Obligor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep and maintain, plainly, distinctly and conspicuously marked on each Item, the words “Financed by BTM Capital Corporation, subject to a security interest in favor of Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Trust Company as Security Trustee” or other appropriate words designated by Corporate Obligee, with appropriate changes thereof and additions thereto as from time to time may be required by law in order to protect Corporate Obligee’s and any Assignee’s interests in such Item and the rights of Corporate Obligee and of any Assignee unless the size or characteristics of such Item would make such obligation unduly burdensome or commercially impracticable. Obligor shall not allow the name of any Person, to be placed upon any Item of Equipment as a designation that might be interpreted as indicating a claim of ownership thereto or a security interest therein by any Person other than Corporate Obligee or any Assignee. Upon the request of Corporate Obligee, Obligor shall (i) make the Equipment and Obligor’s books, records and accounts available to Corporate Obligee, Assignee or any of their designees for inspection and, for the purpose of inspecting any Items of Equipment for which Obligor’s end of term transfer option set forth in Section 25.2 has expired, such inspection may include, the use of photographic and video equipment and (ii) make a good faith effort to discuss with Corporate Obligee or its designees from time to time as Corporate Obligee or its designees deem reasonably necessary the Obligor’s affairs, finances and accounts. If Obligor does not elect to renew this Equipment Agreement and does not elect to acquire rights and interests in the Equipment in accordance with the provisions and deadlines contained herein, Obligor shall, at any time prior to thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date, permit Corporate Obligee or any designee thereof to inspect each Item of Equipment in full operation. The location for the inspection or demonstration of any Item of Equipment shall be the location designated for such Item on the Related Equipment Agreement Supplement; provided, however, if at the time of Corporate Obligee’s or Assignee’s request an Equipment Agreement Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Obligor shall make the Equipment available to Corporate Obligee or Assignee for inspection at a location in the United States or Europe reasonably determined by Corporate Obligee.

Section 14. Assignment and Leasing.

Section 14.1 By Obligor. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 9 OR THIS SECTION 14.1, OBLIGOR WILL NOT, WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF CORPORATE OBLIGEE, LEASE ANY ITEM OF EQUIPMENT, OR ASSIGN, TRANSFER OR ENCUMBER ITS RIGHTS, INTERESTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER. ANY ATTEMPTED LEASE IN VIOLATION HEREOF AND ANY ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER OR ENCUMBERING BY OBLIGOR OF ITS RIGHTS, INTERESTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER IN VIOLATION HEREOF SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. Obligor may, without Corporate Obligee’s consent, lease any Item of Equipment to Subsidiaries of Obligor in the ordinary course of business. Any such lease or financing agreement (together will all amendments, modifications and supplements thereto, a “Subsidiary Equipment Agreement”) shall be, and shall expressly state that it is, subject and subordinate in all respects to this Equipment Agreement and the rights of Corporate Obligee (and any Assignee) hereunder including Corporate Obligee’s right to possession of the Equipment upon an Equipment Agreement Event of Default, shall prohibit subleasing, shall not have a term that may exceed the remaining portion of the Term of such Item of Equipment, and shall be secured by a first priority security interest granted by such Subsidiary in favor of Obligor, which security interest shall be a perfected security interest for all Equipment located in the United States. Obligor and Corporate Obligee hereby acknowledge and agree that Obligor leased certain of the Original Equipment to certain of its Subsidiaries under Subsidiary Equipment Agreements in accordance with the terms of the Original Equipment Agreement and that Obligor shall amend such Subsidiary Equipment Agreements within ten (10) days hereof to the extent necessary as a result of the amendments, assignments and assumptions that occurred on the Restructuring Date. Obligor shall promptly deliver to Security Trustee the original counterpart of each Subsidiary Equipment Agreement and shall provide prompt notice to Corporate Obligee (including the name and address of the lessee) of any lease or sublease to or financing agreement with a third party having a term coterminous with the then current Term of the Items of Equipment subject to such lease, sublease or financing agreement. Obligor shall deliver a certified schedule of all such leases, subleases and financing agreements to Corporate Obligee by March 31 and September 30 of each year during the Term that were in effect at any time during the preceding calendar year and otherwise at Corporate Obligee’s reasonable request. No such leasing by Obligor will reduce any of the obligations of Obligor hereunder or the rights of Corporate Obligee (and any Assignee) hereunder, and all of the obligations of Obligor hereunder shall be and remain primary and shall continue in full force and effect as the obligations of a principal and not of a guarantor or surety.

Section 14.2 By Corporate Obligee.

Any entity to whom any such sale, assignment, transfer or grant of security interest is made is herein called an “Assignee” and any such sale, assignment, transfer or grant of security interest is herein called an “assignment”. An Assignee may re-assign and/or grant a security interest in any of such rights, obligations, title or interest assigned to such Assignee without Obligor’s consent. Obligor agrees to execute related acknowledgments and other documents that may be reasonably requested by Corporate Obligee or an Assignee. Each Assignee shall have and may enforce all of the rights and benefits of Corporate Obligee hereunder with respect to the Item(s) of Equipment and related Equipment Agreement Supplement(s) covered by the assignment, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 8 hereof. Each such assignment shall be subject to Obligor’s rights hereunder so long as no Equipment Agreement Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Obligor shall be under no obligation to any Assignee except upon written notice of such assignment from Corporate Obligee or, in the case of a reassignment, from the Assignee. Upon written notice to Obligor of an assignment in accordance with this Section 14.2, Obligor agrees to pay the Equipment Payments and Supplemental Payments with respect to the Item(s) of Equipment covered by such assignment to such Assignee in accordance with the instructions specified in such notice without any abatement, defense, setoff, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever, and to otherwise comply with all notices, directions and demands which may be given by Corporate Obligee or such Assignee with respect to such Item(s), in accordance with the provisions of this Equipment Agreement. Notwithstanding any such assignment, all obligations of Corporate Obligee to Obligor under this Equipment Agreement shall be and remain enforceable by Obligor against Corporate Obligee and any Assignee to whom an assignment has been made.

Section 14.3. Registration. This Equipment Agreement is a registered instrument. Corporate Obligee will establish and maintain registration books in which it will register, and register any assignment effected in compliance with Section 14 hereof of, each of Corporate Obligee’s and Obligor’s interest in this Equipment Agreement or any portion thereof and which identifies each registered holder of any interest in this Equipment Agreement or any portion thereof.

Obligor, at its own expense, will promptly pay, satisfy and otherwise take such actions as may be necessary to keep this Equipment Agreement and each Item of Equipment free and clear of, and to duly discharge or eliminate or bond in a manner satisfactory to Corporate Obligee and each Assignee, any such Lien not excepted above if the same shall arise at any time. Obligor will notify Corporate Obligee and each Assignee in writing promptly upon becoming aware of any tax or other Lien (other than any Lien excepted above) that shall attach to the Equipment or any Item of Equipment, and of the full particulars thereof.

Obligor hereby assumes all risk of loss, damage, theft, taking, destruction, confiscation, requisition or commandeering, partial or complete, of or to each Item of Equipment, however caused or occasioned, such risk to be borne by Obligor with respect to each Item of Equipment from the date of this Equipment Agreement, and continuing until such Item of Equipment has been returned to Corporate Obligee in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 hereof, the rights and interests in which have been transferred to Obligor in accordance with the provisions of Sections 25.2 or 25.4 hereof, or has been sold in accordance with Section 25.3 hereof. Obligor agrees that no occurrence specified in the preceding sentence shall impair, in whole or in part, any obligation of Obligor under this Equipment Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Equipment Payments.

Section 16.2. Payment of Casualty Loss Value Upon an Event of Loss. If an Event of Loss occurs with respect to an Item of Equipment during the Term thereof, Obligor shall give Corporate Obligee prompt written notice thereof and shall pay to Corporate Obligee on the corresponding Casualty Loss Value Payment Date the sum of (a) all unpaid Equipment Payments payable for such Item of Equipment for the entire Equipment Payment Period in which the Event of Loss has occurred, plus (b) the Casualty Loss Value of such Item of Equipment determined as of the Casualty Loss Value Payment Date, plus (c) all other Supplemental Payments due for such Item of Equipment as of the date of payment of the amounts specified in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b). Any payments received at any time by Corporate Obligee or by Obligor from any insurer or other party (except Obligor) as a result of the occurrence of such Event of Loss will be applied in reduction of Obligor’s obligation to pay the foregoing amounts, if not already paid by Obligor, or, if already paid by Obligor, will be applied to reimburse Obligor for its payment of such amount, unless an Equipment Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon payment in full of such Casualty Loss Value, Equipment Payments and Supplemental Payments, (a) the obligation of Obligor to pay Equipment Payments hereunder with respect to such Item of Equipment shall terminate and the Term of such Item shall terminate, and (b) Corporate Obligee shall renounce all title and rights to such Item of Equipment.

Section 16.3. Application of Payments Not Relating to an Event of Loss. Any payments (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds) received at any time by Corporate Obligee or Obligor from any Governmental Entity or other party with respect to any loss or damage to any Item or Items of Equipment not constituting an Event of Loss, will be applied directly in payment of repairs or for replacement of property in accordance with the provisions of Sections 11 and 12 hereof, if not already paid by Obligor, or if already paid by Obligor and no Equipment Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be applied to reimburse Obligor for such payment, and any balance remaining after compliance with the provisions of said Sections with respect to such loss or damage shall be retained by Obligor. If any Equipment Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, all payments hereunder shall be paid to Corporate Obligee or its Assignee in accordance with Section 14.2 hereof.

Section 17. Insurance. Obligor will cause to be carried and maintained, at its sole expense, with respect to each Item of Equipment at all times during the Term thereof and for the geographic area in which such Item is at any time located and until such Item of Equipment has been returned to Corporate Obligee pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the rights and interests therein have been transferred to Obligor pursuant to Section 25.2 or 25.4 hereof or sold to a third party pursuant to Section 25.3.2 hereof (a) physical damage insurance (including theft and collision insurance) insuring against all risks of physical loss or damage to the Equipment (“Property Insurance”), in an amount not less than the greater of the Casualty Loss Value of such Item of Equipment and the replacement value of the Equipment, and (b) insurance against liability for bodily injury, death and property damage resulting from the use and operation of the Equipment (including sudden and accidental environmental pollution coverage) (“Liability Insurance”) in an amount not less than $25,000,000 per occurrence, but in no event shall the insurance coverage described in clauses (a) and (b) above provide less coverage than the insurance coverage on any other similar equipment owned or leased by Obligor. The insurance coverage described in the preceding sentence shall have deductibles no greater than those applicable to insurance on similar equipment owned or leased by Obligor. Such Property Insurance policy or policies will name Obligor and Corporate Obligee as the sole loss payees and Corporate Obligee and each Assignee as additional insureds. Such Liability Insurance policy or policies will name each Obligor Indemnified Person as an additional insured. All such policies will provide that the insurers waive any claim for premiums and any right of subrogation or setoff against the Obligor Indemnified Parties and that the same may not be invalidated against any Obligor Indemnified Person by reason of any violation of a condition or breach of warranty of the policies or the application therefor by Obligor, that the policies may be canceled or materially altered or reduced in coverage (except as otherwise permitted under the terms of this Equipment Agreement) by the insurer only after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice from Obligor’s insurance broker to Corporate Obligee, Trust Company, Owner Participant and each Assignee, and that the insurer will give written notice to Corporate Obligee, Trust Company, Owner Participant, Agent and each Assignee in the event of nonpayment of premium by Obligor when due. The policies of insurance required under this Section 17 shall be valid and enforceable policies issued by insurers of recognized responsibility and shall provide coverage with respect to incidents occurring anywhere in the United States or Canada or Europe. In the event that any of such Liability Insurance policies shall now or hereafter provide coverage on a “claims‑made” basis, Obligor shall continue to maintain such policies in effect for a period of not less than three (3) years after the expiration of the Term of the last Item of Equipment financed hereunder. Upon the execution of this Equipment Agreement and thereafter not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of any expiring policies required under this Section 17,Obligor shall furnish Corporate Obligee with certificates of the insurance coverage required by this Section 17. If requested by any Obligor Indemnified Person in connection with a claim made or any suit, action or proceeding brought against any Obligor Indemnified Person, copies of the policies evidencing such insurance coverage, shall be delivered by Obligor to such Obligor Indemnified Person. Any certificate of insurance issued with respect to a blanket policy covering other equipment not subject to this Equipment Agreement shall specifically describe the Equipment as being included therein and covered thereby to the full extent of the coverages and amounts required hereunder. If Obligor shall fail to cause the insurance required under this Section 17 to be carried and maintained, Corporate Obligee, Trust Company, Owner Participant, any Lender or any Assignee may, but shall not be required to, provide such insurance and Obligor shall reimburse Corporate Obligee, Trust Company, Owner Participant, any Lender or any such Assignee, as the case may be, upon demand for the cost thereof as a Supplemental Payment hereunder together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date such cost was incurred.

Section 18. NO CORPORATE OBLIGEE WARRANTIES. CORPORATE OBLIGEE HEREBY FINANCES THE EQUIPMENT FOR OBLIGOR AS‑IS WHERE-IS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND IN WHATEVER CONDITION IT MAY BE IN, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE DESIGN, CONDITION, QUALITY, CAPACITY, MERCHANTABILITY, DURABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF, OR ANY OTHER MATTER CONCERNING, THE EQUIPMENT. OBLIGOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY CLAIM (INCLUDING ANY CLAIM BASED ON STRICT OR ABSOLUTE LIABILITY IN TORT OR INFRINGEMENT) IT MIGHT HAVE AGAINST CORPORATE OBLIGEE OR OWNER PARTICIPANT FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE (INCLUDING INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE) OR EXPENSE CAUSED BY THE EQUIPMENT OR BY OBLIGOR’S LOSS OF USE THEREOF FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS (WHICH ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT, OBLIGOR ACKNOWLEDGES, WERE SELECTED BY OBLIGOR ON THE BASIS OF ITS OWN JUDGMENT WITHOUT RELIANCE ON ANY STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTIES OR WARRANTIES MADE BY CORPORATE OBLIGEE).

Section 19. Assignment of Manufacturer Warranties. So long and only so long as an Equipment Agreement Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, and so long and only so long as the Equipment shall be subject to this Equipment Agreement and Obligor shall be entitled to possession of the Equipment hereunder, Corporate Obligee authorizes Obligor, at Obligor’s expense, to assert for Corporate Obligee’s account, all rights and powers of Corporate Obligee under any manufacturer’s, vendor’s or dealer’s warranty on the Equipment or any part thereof and Corporate Obligee agrees to use reasonable efforts at Obligor’s expense to assist Obligor in obtaining the benefits of such warranties; provided, however, that Obligor shall indemnify, protect, save, defend and hold harmless Corporate Obligee from and against any and all claims, and all costs, expenses, damages, losses and liabilities incurred or suffered by Corporate Obligee in connection therewith, as a result of, or incident to, any action by Obligor pursuant to the foregoing authorization.

Section 20. Events of Default. Any of the following events shall constitute an Equipment Agreement Event of Default:

(a) Obligor shall fail to make any payment of an Equipment Payment within five (5) days after the same is due and payable or any Supplemental Payment within fifteen (15) days after the same is due and payable; or

(b) Obligor shall fail to observe or perform any of the covenants, agreements or obligations of Obligor set forth in the Sections 14.1 or 17 hereof or in Section 6.7 of the Participation Agreement; or

(d) (i) Obligor shall default under the Multi-Currency Credit Agreement, or (ii) Obligor shall default under any agreements or instruments relating to any Indebtedness or Material Obligations of Obligor, or any other event shall occur and shall continue after the applicable notice requirements or grace period, if any, specified in such agreements or instruments, but only if (x) such default is a payment default that occurs upon the scheduled maturity of such Indebtedness or Material Obligations or (y) the effect of such default or event is to permit the acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness or Material Obligations and in either the case of (x) or (y), the aggregate principal amount of all such Indebtedness or Material Obligations is equal to or greater than $25,000,000, or (iii) any one or more Subsidiaries of Obligor shall default under any agreements or instruments relating to any Indebtedness or Material Obligations of such Subsidiary or Subsidiaries, or any other event shall occur and shall continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in such agreements or instruments, but only if (x) such default is a payment default that occurs upon the scheduled maturity of such Indebtedness or Material Obligations or (y) the effect of such default or event is to accelerate the maturity of such Indebtedness or Material Obligations and in either the case of (x) or (y), the aggregate principal amount of all such Subsidiary Indebtedness or Subsidiary Material Obligations is equal to or greater than $25,000,000; or

(e) Obligor shall become insolvent; or Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or consent to the appointment of a trustee or receiver; or a trustee or a receiver shall be appointed for Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof or for a substantial part of the property of Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof without its consent and shall not be dismissed for a period of sixty (60) days; or any petition for the relief, reorganization or arrangement of Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof or any other petition in bankruptcy or for the liquidation, insolvency or dissolution of Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof, shall be filed by or against Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof and, if filed against Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof, shall be consented to or be pending and not dismissed for a period of sixty (60) days, or an order for relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law shall be entered by any court or Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction with respect to Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof; or any execution or writ or process shall be issued under any action or proceeding against Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof whereby any of the Equipment may be taken or restrained and such execution or writ or process is not stayed within sixty (60) days; or Obligor’s corporate existence shall cease; or

(f) any representation, warranty, statement or certification made by Obligor under this Equipment Agreement, in any Equipment Agreement Supplement, the Participation Agreement or in any document or certificate furnished to Original Obligee, Corporate Obligee or any Assignee in connection herewith or therewith, or pursuant hereto or thereto, shall prove to be untrue or incorrect when made (or deemed made) except for inaccuracies or misstatements when made (or deemed made) that would not have a material effect on Obligor’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Equipment Agreement or the Participation Agreement; or

(g) final judgments or orders for the payment of money in the aggregate in excess of $25,000,000 shall be rendered against Obligor or any Subsidiary and Obligor or such Subsidiary shall not discharge the same or provide for its discharge in accordance with its terms, or procure a stay of execution thereof, within sixty (60) days after the date of entry thereof and within said period of sixty (60) days (or such longer period during which execution of such judgment shall have been stayed) appeal therefrom and cause the execution thereof to be stayed during such appeal;

Section 21. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any Equipment Agreement Event of Default and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, Corporate Obligee may (except in the case of an Equipment Agreement Event of Default of the type described in Section 20(e) hereof, in which case Corporate Obligee shall be deemed automatically without further act to have elected the remedy set forth in clause (d) below) exercise one or more of the following remedies as Corporate Obligee in its sole discretion shall elect:

(a) Corporate Obligee may terminate or cancel this Equipment Agreement, without prejudice to any other remedies of Corporate Obligee hereunder, with respect to all or any Item of Equipment, and whether or not this Equipment Agreement has been so terminated, may enter the premises of Obligor, subject to Obligor’s normal safety and security concerns, including standard confidentiality requirements, or any other party to take immediate possession of the Equipment and remove all or any Item of Equipment by summary proceedings or otherwise, or may cause Obligor, at Obligor’s expense, to store, maintain, surrender and deliver possession of the Equipment or such Item in the same manner as provided in Section 6 hereof;

(b) Corporate Obligee may hold, keep idle or lease to others the Equipment or any Item of Equipment, as Corporate Obligee in its sole discretion may determine, free and clear of any rights of Obligor and without any duty to account to Obligor with respect to such action or inaction or for any proceeds with respect thereto, except that Obligor’s obligation to pay Equipment Payments for any Equipment Payment Periods commencing after Obligor shall have been deprived of possession pursuant to this Section 21 shall be reduced by the net proceeds, if any, received by Corporate Obligee from leasing the Equipment or such Item to any Person other than Obligor for the same Equipment Payment Periods or any portion thereof;

(c) Corporate Obligee may sell the Equipment or any Item of Equipment at public or private sale as Corporate Obligee may determine, free and clear of any rights of Obligor, and Obligor shall pay to Corporate Obligee, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of the Equipment Payments due for the Equipment or Item(s) so sold for any Equipment Payment Period commencing after the date on which such sale occurs), the sum of (i) all unpaid Equipment Payments payable for each Item of Equipment for all Equipment Payment Periods through the date on which such sale occurs, plus (ii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Casualty Loss Value of the Item(s) of Equipment so sold, computed as of the Payment Date coincident with or next preceding the date of such sale, over (y) the net proceeds of such sale, plus interest at the rate specified in Section 23 hereof on the amount of such excess from the Payment Date as of which such Casualty Loss Value is computed until the date of actual payment, plus (iii) all unpaid Supplemental Payments due with respect to each Item of Equipment so sold;

(d) whether or not Corporate Obligee shall have exercised, or shall thereafter at any time exercise, any of its rights under subsection (a) or (b) above with respect to any Item(s) of Equipment, Corporate Obligee, by written notice to Obligor specifying a payment date, may demand that Obligor pay to Corporate Obligee, and Obligor shall pay to Corporate Obligee, on the payment date specified in such notice, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of the Equipment Payment due for any Item(s) of Equipment for any Equipment Payment Period commencing after the payment date specified in such notice and in lieu of the exercise by Corporate Obligee of its remedies under subsection (b) above in the case of a re‑lease of such Item(s) or under subsection (c) above with respect to a sale of such Item(s)), the sum of (i) all unpaid Equipment Payments payable for such Item(s) for all Equipment Payment Periods through the payment date specified in such notice, plus (ii) all unpaid Supplemental Payments due with respect to such Item(s) as of the payment date specified in such notice, plus (iii) an amount equal to any Prepayment Premium owed or paid by Corporate Obligee to Lender as a result of Equipment Agreement Event of Default, plus (iv) an amount, with respect to each such Item, equal to the Casualty Loss Value of such Item(s) computed as of the Payment Date coincident with or next preceding the payment date specified in such notice; provided, however, that with respect to any such Item(s) returned to or repossessed by Corporate Obligee, the amount recoverable by Corporate Obligee pursuant to the foregoing shall be reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal to the fair market sales value of such Item(s) as of the date on which Corporate Obligee has obtained possession of such Item(s); and

(e) Corporate Obligee may exercise any other right or remedy which may be available to it under Applicable Law or proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach hereof or to rescind this Equipment Agreement.

In addition, Obligor shall be liable for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by Corporate Obligee or any Assignee by reason of the occurrence of any Equipment Agreement Event of Default or the exercise of Corporate Obligee’s remedies with respect thereto, including all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the return of the Equipment in accordance with Section 6 hereof or in placing the Equipment in the condition required by said Section. For the purpose of subsection (d) above, the “fair market sales value” of any Item of Equipment shall mean such value as has been determined by an independent qualified appraiser selected jointly by Corporate Obligee and Obligor and in the absence of agreement on an independent qualified appraiser, each of Corporate Obligee and Obligor shall select an appraiser who together shall select the independent qualified appraiser. Except as otherwise expressly provided above, no remedy referred to in this Section 21 is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to Corporate Obligee at law or in equity; and the exercise or beginning of exercise by Corporate Obligee of any one or more of such remedies shall not constitute the exclusive election of such remedies and shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Corporate Obligee of any or all of such other remedies. No express or implied waiver by Corporate Obligee of any Equipment Agreement Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Equipment Agreement Event of Default. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Obligor hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise which may require Corporate Obligee to sell, lease or otherwise use the Equipment in mitigation of Corporate Obligee’s damages as set forth in this Section 21 or which may otherwise limit or modify any of Corporate Obligee’s rights and remedies in this Section 21.

Section 22. Corporate Obligee’s Right to Perform for Obligor. If Obligor fails to make any Supplemental Payment required to be made by it hereunder or fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, Corporate Obligee may itself, after notice to Obligor, make such payment or perform or comply with such agreement, and the amount of such payment and the amount of the reasonable expenses of Corporate Obligee incurred in connection with such payment or the performance of or compliance with such agreement, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the rate specified in Section 23 hereof, shall, if not paid by Obligor to Corporate Obligee on demand, be deemed a Supplemental Payment hereunder; provided, however, that no such payment, performance or compliance by Corporate Obligee shall be deemed to cure any Equipment Agreement Event of Default hereunder.

Section 23. Late Charges. Obligor shall pay to Corporate Obligee, upon demand, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest on any installment of an Equipment Payment not paid when due, and on any Supplemental Payment or other amount payable under this Equipment Agreement which is not paid when due, for any period for which any of the same is overdue (without regard to any grace period) at a rate equal to the lesser of (a) the Overdue Rate and (b) the maximum rate of interest permitted by law.

Section 24. Notices. All notices provided for or required under the terms and provisions hereof shall be given in accordance with Section 10.4 of the Participation Agreement.

Section 25. Obligor’s Renewal and Transfer Options.

Section 25.1 Obligor’s Renewal Option. If no Equipment Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and this Equipment Agreement shall not have been earlier terminated, Obligor shall be entitled, at its option, to renew this Equipment Agreement with respect to all but not less than all Items of Equipment then subject to this Equipment Agreement, up to the number of Renewal Terms specified on the Related Exhibit A. The first Renewal Term with respect to each such Item of Equipment will commence at the expiration of the Basic Term of such Item, and each succeeding Renewal Term will commence at the expiration of the next preceding Renewal Term. All of the provisions of this Equipment Agreement, including the Applicable Debt Rate, shall be applicable during each Renewal Term for each such Item of Equipment. Obligor hereby agrees to pay Corporate Obligee an Equipment Payment for each Item of Equipment during each Renewal Term for which Obligor exercises its renewal option therefor in an amount equal to the sum of (a) the Debt Amortization Payment due on such Payment Date for such Item (b) an amount calculated by multiplying the Outstanding Debt Amount immediately prior to such payment by the Applicable Debt Rate and (c) an amount calculated by multiplying the Equity Component for such Item by the Equity Rate, and in the case of clauses (b) and (c), such amounts shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed since the immediately preceding Payment Date, and the denominator of which is 360. If, with respect to any Renewal Term, Obligor intends to not exercise said renewal option, Obligor shall give written notice to Corporate Obligee to such effect at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the Basic Term of the Item(s) of Equipment whose Renewal Term first expires hereunder, in the case of the first Renewal Term, and at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the then current Renewal Term of the Item(s) of Equipment whose Basic Term first expires hereunder, in the case of the then next succeeding Renewal Term. If Obligor fails to give such written notice to Corporate Obligee with respect to any of said Renewal Terms, it shall be conclusively presumed that Obligor has irrevocably elected to exercise said renewal option with respect to all Items of Equipment for said Renewal Term. In the event Obligor elects not to exercise said renewal option with respect to all Items of Equipment (unless Corporate Obligee has otherwise agreed in writing or Obligor has exercised its transfer option under Section 25.2 hereof or its early transfer option pursuant to Section 25.4 hereof), each Item of Equipment shall be returned to Corporate Obligee in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 hereof (unless delivered to a bidder in accordance with Section 25.3 hereof) and until each such Item has been so returned or delivered Obligor shall continue to pay Corporate Obligee the Equipment Payment for each such Item as specified in Section 6.3 hereof.

Section 25.2 Obligor’s End of Term Transfer Option. On any Termination Date, if (a) no Equipment Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (b) this Equipment Agreement shall not have been earlier terminated, Obligor shall be entitled, at its option, upon written notice to Corporate Obligee, as hereinafter provided, to acquire all, but not less than all, of Corporate Obligee’s rights and interests in the Items of Equipment the Term for which is scheduled to expire (if not otherwise renewed in accordance with Section 25.1 hereof) on such Termination Date for an amount (the “Transfer Option Amount”), with respect to each Item of Equipment, payable in immediately available funds, equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate of the Estimated Residual Values of such Items of Equipment applicable to the Basic Term or Renewal Term thereof then ending, plus (ii) the Equipment Payment due and payable for such Items of Equipment on the Termination Date, plus (iii) any applicable sales, excise or other Taxes imposed as a result of such sale (other than gross or net income taxes attributable to such sale), plus (iv) any Supplemental Payments then due and owing to any Person. Corporate Obligee’s sale of each Item of Equipment shall be on an as-is, where-is basis, without any representation or warranty by, or recourse to, Corporate Obligee. If Obligor intends to exercise said transfer option, Obligor shall give written notice to Corporate Obligee to such effect at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Basic Term, or, if Obligor has renewed this Equipment Agreement pursuant to Section 25.1 hereof, then at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current Renewal Term. If Obligor gives such written notice to Corporate Obligee, such notice shall constitute a binding obligation of Obligor to pay Corporate Obligee the Transfer Option Amount with respect thereto on the Termination Date thereof.

Section 25.3 Third Party Sale of Equipment.

25.3.1 Remarketing Obligations. In the event Obligor does not exercise its option to acquire Corporate Obligee’s rights and interests in all the Equipment pursuant to this Section and does not renew this Equipment Agreement, then Obligor shall have the obligation during the last 180 days of the Basic Term, or the then current Renewal Term, if applicable (the “Remarketing Period”), to solicit bona fide bids for not less than all Items of Equipment from prospective purchasers who are financially capable of purchasing such Items of Equipment for cash on an as-is, where-is basis, without recourse or warranty. Any bid received by Obligor prior to the end of the Remarketing Period shall be immediately communicated to Corporate Obligee and Owner Participant in writing, setting forth the amount of such bid and the name and address of the person or entity submitting such bid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Corporate Obligee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to seek bids for the Equipment during the Remarketing Period.

25.3.2 Sale of Equipment to Third Party Buyer. On the Termination Date, provided that all the conditions set forth in Section 25.3.1 and in clauses (a) and (b) below have been met, Corporate Obligee shall sell (or cause to be sold) all Items of Equipment, for cash to the bidder, if any, who shall have submitted the highest bid during the Remarketing Period on an as-is, where-is basis and without recourse or warranty, and upon receipt by Corporate Obligee of the sales price, Corporate Obligee shall instruct Obligor to deliver and Obligor shall deliver the Equipment to such bidder; provided, that (a) any such sale to a third party shall be consummated, and the sales price for the Equipment shall have been paid to Corporate Obligee in immediately available funds, on or before the Termination Date; and (b) Corporate Obligee shall not be obligated to sell such Equipment (i) if the Net Proceeds of Sale of the Equipment are less than the aggregate Maximum Obligee Risk Amount applicable to the Equipment as of the Termination Date, or (ii) if Corporate Obligee has not received the amounts, if any, payable by Obligor pursuant to Section 26.1.

Section 25.4 Obligor’s Early Transfer Options. Provided that (a) no Equipment Payment or Supplemental Payment is at the time past due, (b) no Equipment Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (c) this Equipment Agreement shall not have been earlier terminated, Obligor shall be entitled, at its option, on any Payment Date to acquire all but not less than all of Corporate Obligee’s rights and interests in any Item(s) of Equipment upon written notice to Corporate Obligee, as hereinafter provided, for an amount (the “Payment Date Option Amount”), with respect to each Item of Equipment acquired, payable in immediately available funds, equal to the sum of (i) the Casualty Loss Value of such Item of Equipment applicable for such Payment Date, plus (ii) the Equipment Payment due and payable for such Item of Equipment on such Payment Date, plus (iii) any applicable sales, excise or other Taxes imposed as a result of such sale (other than gross or net income taxes attributable to such sale for any Person other than Corporate Obligee), plus (iv) the amount of Breakage Costs that Corporate Obligee or Trust Obligee shall be liable to pay upon a repayment of the Notes issued with respect to any such Item(s) of Equipment on such Payment Date, plus (v) the amount of Breakage Costs incurred by Corporate Obligee upon a repayment of the Equity Component for such Item on such Payment Date provided that (x) the aggregate Acquisition Costs of all Items of Equipment acquired by Obligor at any time under this Section 25.4 shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total Acquisition Costs for all Equipment at any time financed hereunder, (y) after taking into account any acquisition hereunder, the aggregate Acquisition Costs of all Equipment remaining subject to this Equipment Agreement and located in the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom shall be at least equal to or greater than seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate Acquisition Cost of all Equipment at the time subject to this Equipment Agreement and (z) this option may not be exercised more than two (2) times during any twelve (12) month period. If Obligor intends to exercise said early transfer option, Obligor shall give written notice to Corporate Obligee and Agent to such effect at least thirty (30) and no more than sixty (60) days prior to Payment Date on which such option will be exercised, which notice shall for each Item of Equipment to be acquired identify such Item substantially in the same manner as it is identified on the Equipment Agreement Supplement therefor and identify as of the Payment Date such option is to be exercised in the aggregate and for each such Item the Acquisition Cost, Casualty Loss Value, Unamortized Debt Amount and the Equipment Payment due. Such notice shall also include replacement Equipment Agreement Supplement Schedule As in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent and Owner Participant (“Replacement Schedule As”) identifying all Equipment to remain subject to this Equipment Agreement after any such acquisition. If Obligor gives such written notice to Corporate Obligee, such notice shall constitute a binding obligation of Obligor to pay Corporate Obligee the Payment Date Option Amount with respect to each Item of Equipment subject to such notice on the applicable Payment Date. Upon payment in full of all amounts due upon the exercise of Obligors’ option under this Section 25.4, Corporate Obligee will, at the request and cost of Obligor, (i) transfer to or at the direction of Obligor, without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of Corporate Obligee Liens), all of Corporate Obligee’s right, title and interest in and to such Item(s), “as-is, where-is” and, at the request and cost of Obligor, furnish to or at the direction of Obligor, a xxxx of sale without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of Obligee Liens) evidencing such transfer and (ii) execute and deliver such additional agreements and documents and take such further actions as Obligor may reasonably request to release such Item(s) from the Liens granted under the Operative Documents, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Obligor and Corporate Obligee. The Replacement Schedule As shall be deemed a part of the corresponding Equipment Agreement Supplements in replacement of any existing Schedule As thereto.

Section 26. End of Term Equipment Payment Adjustment.

Section 26.1 Third Party Sale of Equipment. This Section 26.1 shall apply only if, with respect to any Non-Renewal Item(s) of Equipment, a sale of such Item(s) to a third party pursuant to Section 25.3 hereof has been consummated on the Termination Date. If the Net Proceeds of Sale of such Item(s) are less than the aggregate Estimated Residual Value of such Item(s) as of such Termination Date, Obligor shall, on the Termination Date, pay to Corporate Obligee as an end of term Equipment Payment adjustment, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such deficiency (a “Deficiency”) as an adjustment to the Equipment Payment payable under this Equipment Agreement for such Item(s), plus the Equipment Payment due and payable for such Item(s) of Equipment on the Termination Date, plus any Supplemental Payments then due and owing to Corporate Obligee hereunder; provided, however, that if no Equipment Agreement Event of Default or event which, with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Equipment Agreement Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, the amount of the Deficiency payable by Obligor with respect to such Item(s) shall not exceed the aggregate Maximum Obligor Risk Amount then applicable to such Item(s).
