each Item of Equipment will be equal to the Total Cost, (3) deductions for each
Item of Equipment will be computed by using the method specified in Section
168(b)(1) of the Code over the 7-year recovery period described in Section

under Section 168(d) of the Code is the half-year convention; (ii) be entitled

corporations provided for under the Code and the laws of New York (the "Highest
Marginal Tax Rate"). The MACRS Deductions, State Depreciation Deductions and
Interest Deductions are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Tax

of Equipment constitutes 7-year property" within the meaning of Section 168(e)
of the Code, (ii) Lessee shall not attempt to claim such Tax Benefits, (iii) at

the Term of this Lease, take any action or omit to take any action (whether or
not the same is permitted or required hereunder) which will result in the loss
by Lessor of all or any part of such Tax Benefits.
(c) If, as a result of any act, omission or misrepresentation of
Lessee, (x) the Tax Benefits are lost, disallowed, deferred, eliminated,
reduced, recaptured, compromised or otherwise unavailable to Lessor, (y) for
Federal, foreign, state or local income tax purposes, any item of income, loss
or deduction with respect to any Item of Equipment is treated as derived from,
or allocable to, sources outside the United States, or (z) there shall be
included in the gross income of Lessor for Federal, state or local income tax
purposes any amount on account of any addition, modification, substitution or
improvement to or in respect of any Item of Equipment made or paid for by Lessee
(any of the foregoing being hereinafter a "Tax Loss",), then, within thirty (30)
days of Lessee's receipt of written notice from Lessor that such a Tax Loss has
occurred, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount which, after deduction therefrom
of all taxes to be paid in respect of the receipt thereof, will enable Lessor to
receive the same Net Economic Return (as hereinafter defined) that Lessor would
have realized on this Lease had such Tax Loss (together with any interest,
penalties or additions to tax) not occurred. Any event which, by the terms of
this Lease, requires payment by Lessee to Lessor of the Stipulated Loss Value of
the Equipment shall not constitute the act of Lessee for purpose of the
foregoing sentence.
(d) As used in this Section, the term "Net Economic Return" shall
mean Lessor's net after-tax yield, aggregate after-tax cash flow and return on
assets, based on (i) the assumptions used by Lessor in originally calculating
Rent and Stipulated Loss Value percentages, including the assumptions set forth
above (as such assumptions may have been revised pursuant to the last sentence
of this subsection) and (ii) the Highest Marginal Tax Rate actually in effect
during each year from the date of such original calculations to the date of
such Tax Loss, both dates inclusive. In the event Lessor shall suffer a Tax
Loss with respect to which Lessee is required to pay an indemnity hereunder,
and the full amount of such indemnity has been paid or provided for hereunder,
the aforesaid assumptions, without further act of the parties hereto, shall
thereupon be and be deemed to be amended, if and to the extent appropriate, to
reflect such Tax Loss.
(e) For purposes of this Section, the term "Lessor' shall include
the entity or entities, if any, with which Lessor consolidates any tax return.
Lessee acknowledges that it has neither sought nor received tax advice from
Lessor as to the availability to Lessee of any tax benefits with respect to the
Equipment. All of Lessor's rights and privileges arising from the indemnities
contained in this Lease will survive the expiration or other termination or
cancellation of this Lease. Such indemnities are expressly made for the benefit
of, and are enforceable by, Lessor and its successors and assigns.

6. TRUE LEASE TRANSACTION. (a) It is the express intent of the
parties that this Lease constitutes a true lease and not a sale of the
Equipment. Title to the Equipment shall at all times remain in Lessor, and
Lessee shall acquire no ownership, title, property, right, equity, or interest
in the Equipment other than its leasehold interest solely as Lessee subject to
all the terms and conditions hereof. To the extent that Article 2A ("Article 2X)
of the Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") applies to the characterization of this
Lease, the parties hereby agree that this Lease is a "Finance Lease" as defined
therein. Lessee acknowledges: (i) that Lessee has selected the "Supplier" (as
defined in the UCC) and has directed Lessor to purchase the Equipment from the
Supplier in connection with this Lease, and (ii) that Lessee has been informed
in writing in this Lease, before Lessee's execution of this Lease, that Lessee
is entitled under Article 2A to the promises and warranties, including those of
any third party, provided to Lessor by the Supplier in connection with or as
part of the Purchase Agreement, and that Lessee may communicate with the
Supplier and receive an accurate and complete statement of those promises and
warranties, including any disclaimers and limitations of them or of remedies.
The filing of UCC financing statements pursuant to Section 34 of the Master
Lease is precautionary and shall not be deemed to have any effect on the
characterization of this Lease.
(b) Notwithstanding the express intent of Lessor and Lessee that
this agreement constitute a true lease and not a sale of the Equipment, should a
court of competent jurisdiction determine that this agreement is not a true
lease, but rather one intended as security, then solely in that event and for
the expressly limited purposes thereof, Lessee shall be deemed to have hereby
granted Lessor a security interest in the Equipment and all accessions,
substitutions and replacements thereto and therefor, and proceeds (cash and
non-cash), including, without limitation, insurance proceeds thereof (but
without power of sale), to secure the prompt payment and performance as and when
due of all obligations and indebtedness of Lessee, now existing or hereafter
created, to Lessee pursuant to this Lease or otherwise. In furtherance of the
foregoing, Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor, to be recorded at
Lessee's expense, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, statements of
amendment and statements of continuation as reasonably may be required by Lessor
to perfect and maintain perfected such security interest.
(c) In the event that the Supplier erroneously invoices Lessee
for the Equipment, Lessee agrees to forward said invoice to Lessor immediately.
Lessee acknowledges that the Equipment is, and shall at all times remain, the
property of Lessor, and that Lessee has no right, title or interest therein or,
thereto except as expressly set forth in the Lease.
