On each Payment Date during the Lease Term, Lessee shall pay to Agent for the benefit of Lessor, a payment of rent consisting of (i) Capital Rent (other than with respect to the initial Payment Date on which Lessee shall pay only Accrual Rent) and (ii) Accrual Rent (collectively, “Basic Rent”).

Section 6.2. Supplemental Rent. Lessee shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lessor, or to whomever shall be entitled thereto as expressly provided herein or in any other Operative Document (and Lessor hereby directs Lessee, on behalf of Lessor, to so pay any such other Person), any and all Supplemental Rent as the same shall become due and payable (with respect to payments to be made to Agent or Lessor pursuant to the Operative Documents, otherwise, prior to the time such Supplemental Rent is delinquent) and, if a Lease Event of Default is continuing because of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay any Supplemental Rent, Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or in equity or otherwise in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent. The expiration or other termination of Lessee’s obligations to pay Basic Rent hereunder shall not limit or modify the obligations of Lessee with respect to Supplemental Rent.

Section 6.3. Method and Amount of Payment. Rent and all other sums due to Lessor hereunder shall be paid to Agent, on behalf of Lessor (or, in the case of Supplemental Rent, to such Person as may be entitled thereto (if such Person is other than Lessor or Agent, payment may be made by wire transfer or such other form of payment as is acceptable to such Person)) in immediately available funds at the office of Agent specified in Schedule II hereto or at such other office of Agent as Agent may from time to time specify to Lessee in a notice pursuant to this Lease. Each payment of Rent shall be accompanied by written designation from Lessee as to the amount of such payment that is being made in respect of Series A Capital Rent, Series A Accrual Rent, Series B Capital Rent, Series B Accrual Rent, Series C Accrual Rent, Lessor’s Interest Related Accrual Rent or Supplemental Rent; provided that notwithstanding such written designation by Lessee, each payment of Rent or any other amounts received by Agent related to this Lease shall be applied in accordance with Section 21.1 hereof and Section 2.1 of the Lessor Assignment Agreement. Each payment of Rent shall be made by Lessee prior to 10:00 A.M. California time (and payments made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next day) at the place of payment in funds consisting of lawful currency of the United States of America which (in the case of any amount payable to Lessor or Agent or any other Indemnitee) shall be immediately available on the scheduled date when such payment shall be due unless the scheduled date shall not be a Business Day, in which case such payment shall be due and made on the next succeeding Business Day. If the result of the extension contemplated by the preceding sentence

-35-

would be to carry payment of Rent into another calendar month, such payment of Rent shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

Section 6.4. Late Payment. If any Basic Rent shall not be paid when due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, or if any Supplemental Rent payable to or on behalf or for the account of Lessor or Agent or other Indemnitee is not paid when due, Lessee shall pay to whomever shall be entitled thereto, in each case as Supplemental Rent, interest at the Overdue Rate (to the maximum extent permitted by law) on such overdue amount from and including the due date thereof (without regard to any applicable grace period) to but excluding the Business Day of payment thereof. If any payment of Rent shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to carry such payment into another calendar month, in which case such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

Section 6.5. Set-Off. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Operative Document, in the event the Series A Lease Balance or any portion thereof is purchased by LSI as an Assignee in accordance with Section 19.1(a)(ii), LSI, as Lessee, shall set-off against and not pay to Agent Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent owed to LSI as an Assignee.

ARTICLE VII

NET LEASE

(a) This Lease shall constitute a net lease and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, it is intended that Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent and all other amounts due and payable under the Operative Documents, including, as applicable, the Lease Balance, shall be paid, subject to Section 6.5, without counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense of any kind and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction of any kind, and Lessee’s obligation to pay all such amounts throughout the Lease Term is absolute and unconditional. The obligations and liabilities of Lessee hereunder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Regulations, in no way be released, discharged or otherwise affected for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment or performance in full of such liability or obligation) including: (a) any defect in the condition, merchantability, design, construction, quality or fitness for use of any Item of Equipment or any failure of any Item of Equipment to comply with all Applicable Laws and Regulations, including any inability to operate or use any Item of Equipment by reason of such non-compliance; (b) any damage to, abandonment, loss, contamination of or release from or destruction of or any requisition or taking of any Item of Equipment or any part thereof; (c) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference with any use of any Item of Equipment or any part thereof; (d) any defect in title to or rights to any Item of Equipment or any Lien on such title or rights on any Item of Equipment; (e) any change, waiver, extension, indulgence or other action or omission or breach in respect of any obligation or liability of or by Lessor or Agent; (f) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceedings relating to Lessee or Lessor or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Lease by any trustee or receiver of Lessee, Lessor, Agent or any other Person, or by any court, in any such proceeding;

-36-

(g) any claim that Lessee has or might have against any Person, including, without limitation, Lessor or Agent (but will not constitute a waiver of such claim); (h) any failure on the part of Lessor or Agent to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease, any other Operative Document or of any other agreement whether or not related to the Overall Transaction (but will not constitute a waiver of such claim); (i) any invalidity or unenforceability or disaffirmance against or by Lessee, Agent or Lessor of this Lease or any provision hereof or any of the other Operative Documents or any provision of any thereof; (j) the impossibility of performance by Lessee, Lessor, Agent or any of them; (k) any action by any court, administrative agency or other Governmental Authority or any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or any use of any Item of Equipment or any part thereof; (l) the failure of Lessee to achieve any accounting or tax benefits or the characterization of the transaction intended by Section 2.4; or (m) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not Lessee shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. Except as specifically set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 14.1 hereof, this Lease shall be noncancellable by Lessee for any reason whatsoever, and Lessee, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Regulations, waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease, or to any diminution, abatement or reduction of Rent payable by Lessee hereunder. If for any reason whatsoever this Lease shall be terminated or amended in whole or in part by operation of law or otherwise, except as expressly provided in Section 9.1 or Section 14.1 hereof or, with respect to amendments, as permitted by the Operative Documents, Lessee shall, unless prohibited by Applicable Laws and Regulations, pay to Agent (or, in the case of Supplemental Rent, to whomever shall be entitled thereto) a compensation in an amount equal to each Rent payment (including the Lease Balance or any other amount due and payable under any Operative Documents) at the time and in the manner that such payment would have become due and payable under the terms of this Lease if it had not been terminated or amended in whole or in part. Each payment of Rent and any payment of the Lease Balance made by Lessee hereunder shall be final and, absent error in the computation of the amount thereof, Lessee shall not seek or have any right to recover all or any part of such payment from Lessor, Agent or any party to any agreements related thereto for any reason whatsoever. Lessee assumes the sole responsibility for the condition, use, operation, maintenance, and management of each Item of Equipment and Lessor and Agent shall have no responsibility in respect thereof and shall have no liability for damage to any Item of Equipment or any property relating thereto of Lessee or on any account or for any reason whatsoever other than by reason of such Person’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or negligence in the handling of funds or breach of any of the Operative Documents; provided, however, any liability of Lessor or Agent with respect to any such willful misconduct or gross negligence or negligence in the handling of funds or breach of any of the Operative Documents shall not limit or affect Lessee’s absolute obligations as set forth in this Article VII. Without affecting Lessee’s obligation to pay Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent, the Lease Balance and all other amounts due and payable under the Operative Documents or to perform its obligations under the Operative Documents, Lessee may, notwithstanding any other provision of the Operative Documents, seek damages of any kind (which damages may be measured, if appropriate, on the amount of Rent paid by Lessee) or any other remedy at law or equity against Lessor or Agent for such willful misconduct or gross negligence or negligence in the handling of funds or for a breach by such Person of its obligations under this Lease or the other Operative Documents.

-37-

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VII, the parties hereto agree that in the event that the Lessor becomes the subject of any voluntary or involuntary case or proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, and as a result thereof the Series C Cash Collateral and/or the Lessor’s Interest Related Cash Collateral held by Lessor becomes a part of the Lessor’s bankruptcy estate, then (i) the Lessor shall be deemed to have set off and applied such Series C Cash Collateral and/or Lessor’s Interest Related Cash Collateral against any amounts due with respect to the portion of the Series C Lease Balance and/or the Lessor’s Interest Related Lease Balance secured by such Cash Collateral and (ii) the Lessee shall be deemed to have paid in full any and all Rent due with respect to the Series C Lease Balance and/or the Lessor’s Interest Related Lease Balance secured by such Cash Collateral, in each case in an amount not to exceed such Series C Cash Collateral and/or Lessor’s Interest Related Cash Collateral.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.1. Possession and Use of Equipment; Compliance with Laws. Lessee shall use each Item of Equipment only in the manner for which it was designed and intended by the original manufacturer thereof (subject to any upgrade in any software used in connection with such Item of Equipment) and shall not use any Item of Equipment or any part thereof for any purpose or in any manner that would adversely affect the Fair Market Value, the utility, remaining useful life or, except to the extent in compliance with the Lease, Residual Value of such Item of Equipment, other than as a result of ordinary wear and tear. Lessee agrees that each Item of Equipment will be used and operated in compliance in all material respects with any and all Applicable Laws and Regulations.

Lessee shall be entitled to use and operate the Items of Equipment only at the Lessee’s semi-conductor manufacturing facility located in Gresham, Oregon or another location or locations reasonably acceptable to the Agent in the continental United States and at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, so long as the Lessee holds title in fee simple to the real property on which such Equipment is to be located and, (a) prior to moving any Item of Equipment to such other location, a mortgagee’s waiver and consent is executed by the applicable mortgagee and delivered to Agent and Lessor, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and Lessor and (b) all UCC financing statements (including UCC fixture filings) have been filed in all public offices wherein such filings are necessary to perfect the Liens created by the Operative Documents. The Lessee will defend the sale of each

-38-

Item of Equipment by the seller thereof to Lessor against the claims or demands of all Persons. Lessee shall keep in its possession at all times the items described in clauses (c) and (e) of the definition of Lessee Collateral.

Section 8.2. Subleases and Assignments. LESSEE SHALL NOT, WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF AGENT, SUBLEASE OR OTHERWISE RELINQUISH POSSESSION OF ANY ITEM OF EQUIPMENT, OR ASSIGN, TRANSFER OR ENCUMBER (EXCEPT FOR PERMITTED LIENS) ITS RIGHTS, INTERESTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR PERMIT ANY OF THE FOREGOING AND ANY ATTEMPTED SUBLEASE OR OTHER RELINQUISHMENT OF POSSESSION, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER OR ENCUMBERING BY LESSEE SHALL BE NULL AND VOID, except as provided in this Section 8.2 or pursuant to a transaction permitted under Section 18.2(d) or a Permitted Lien or in the case of relinquishment of possession pursuant to the performance of Lessee’s covenants under Section 8.3 or 8.4 of this Lease. Each sublease entered into in accordance with this Section 8.2 shall be referred to as a “Sublease.” So long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee may, without the prior written consent of Agent, enter into subleases of one or more of the Items of Equipment to a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Lessee organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof (a “Sublessee"); provided, that any Sublease entered into pursuant to this Section 8.2 must satisfy each of the following conditions:

(a) such Sublease shall (i) automatically expire upon the termination of this Lease, (ii) be expressly subordinate and subject to this Lease and the Liens created hereunder and (iii) expressly require the Items of Equipment subject thereto to be returned as directed by Agent upon notice to Sublessee that a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(b) such Sublease shall be in writing and shall expressly prohibit any further assignment, sublease or transfer;

(c) such Sublease shall not contain a purchase option in favor of the Sublessee or any other provision pursuant to which the Sublessee may obtain record or beneficial title to any Item of Equipment leased thereunder from Lessee prior to Lessee acquiring title to such Item of Equipment from Lessor;

(d) such Sublease shall prohibit the Sublessee from making any alterations or modifications to any Item of Equipment that would result in a Lease Default;

(e) all of Lessee’s rights, title and interest in, to and under such Sublease shall be pledged by Lessee to Lessor, as collateral for Lessee’s obligations under the Operative Documents, by delivery of an executed original counterpart upon the execution and delivery thereof, marked as the sole original execution counterpart for UCC purposes, to the Lessor, and Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, do any further act and execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, register and record any further documents which the Agent or Lessor may reasonably request in order to create, perfect, preserve and protect Lessor’s Lien in such Sublease;

-39-

(f) Lessee shall not, without Agent’s prior written consent, permit or consent to any renewal or extension of such Sublease at any time when a Material Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(g) such Sublease shall require the Sublessee to maintain the Item or Items of Equipment in accordance with Section 8.3;

(h) such Sublease shall require the Sublessee to use and operate the Item or Items of Equipment or any Part thereof in accordance with Section 8.1;

(i) such Sublease shall require the Sublessee to insure the Item or Items of Equipment in accordance with Section 9.2;

(j) such Sublease shall provide that, upon reasonable notice to the Sublessee, any designated representative of Agent or Lessor may inspect the Item or Items of Equipment and the books and records relating thereto, upon reasonable notice, in accordance with Agent’s and Lessor’s inspection rights set forth in the Operative Documents (but not so as to materially interfere with the business of such Sublessee); and

(k) Lessee shall notify Agent and Lessor in writing not less than 10 days prior to entering into any such Sublease (and promptly after execution of any Sublease furnish Agent and Lessor with an executed copy thereof), which notice shall include (i) a description of the Item or Items of Equipment to be subleased thereunder and (ii) the general location parameters of such Item or Items of Equipment during the term of such Sublease.

The liability of Lessee with respect to this Lease and each of the other Operative Documents shall not be altered or affected in any way by the existence of any Sublease.

Section 8.3. Maintenance. At all times during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense:

(a) unless an Item of Equipment has suffered a Casualty and Lessee is restoring such Item of Equipment, repairing such Item of Equipment (which repairs may be done offsite), replacing such Item of Equipment or paying the Casualty Amount for such Item of Equipment, keep, repair, maintain and preserve each of the Items of Equipment in at least as good order and operating condition and appearance as on the Delivery Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in conformance in all material respects with (A) customary industry standards, (B) the terms of all contracts (including, without limitation, service contracts) and obligations at the time applicable thereto, (C) all Applicable Laws and Regulations and Insurance Requirements (in each case, subject to Lessee’s right to contest by a Permitted Contest), and in the event that Applicable Laws and Regulations require any alteration, replacement or addition of or to any Part on any Item of Equipment, Lessee will conform therewith in all material respects at its own expense, (D) standards no lower than the highest of those applied by Lessee or any of its Affiliates in the ordinary course of business for similar equipment

-40-

owned or leased by it, (E) such mandated or suggested maintenance, repair and deinstallation standards and procedures as are set forth in the manufacturer’s manuals pertaining to each Item of Equipment and (F) such standards or procedures as may be required to enforce warranty claims against each vendor and manufacturer of each Item of Equipment;

(b) (i) conduct or cause to be conducted all scheduled maintenance of each Item of Equipment in conformity in all material respects with Lessee’s practices and manufacturers and repair guidelines, for similar equipment (including, without limitation, Lessee’s maintenance program for such equipment) and (ii) maintain or cause to be maintained each Item of Equipment so as to preserve its Fair Market Value, remaining economic useful life, utility and, except to the extent in compliance with this Lease, Residual Value, other than as a result of ordinary wear and tear;

(c) in addition to the requirements in Section 8.3(a) and (b), (i) cause maintenance on each Item of Equipment to be provided by the manufacturer thereof or factory authorized technicians or by Lessee’s in-house technicians (trained and certified by manufacturer or an entity approved by such manufacturer), (ii) establish such maintenance, refurbishment, rebuilding and repair programs so that the Items of Equipment can be kept in the condition required as set forth herein and (iii) allow Lessor and Agent, at reasonable times, after reasonable notice and in a reasonable manner, to review and approve changes to the Lessee’s maintenance procedures (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld);

(d) cause each Item of Equipment to continue to have at all times the capacity and functional ability to perform, on a continuing basis (subject to Casualties and customary interruption in the ordinary course of business for maintenance, inspection, service, repair and testing), the functions for which it was specifically designed; provided that Lessee shall have the ability to remove any Item of Equipment from service in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 8.3(a);

(e) cause any hazardous or toxic substances used, or resulting or emitting from, the operation or use of the Items of Equipment to be handled in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws in all material respects and otherwise cause the Items of Equipment to be maintained and operated in accordance with all Environmental Laws in all material respects; and

(f) at any time while a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or after the Lessee has exercised the Sale Option, make the Items of Equipment available for inspection and testing by an authorized inspector (which shall be at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice in the event the Sale Option was exercised), including unlimited shipping and testing of parts or equipment as required by any such inspector, and if any discrepancies are found as pertaining to the general condition of the Items of Equipment, Agent shall communicate such discrepancies to Lessee in writing and Lessee shall rectify such discrepancies within 30 days of receiving such written notice.

-41-

In no event shall Lessee adversely discriminate as to the use or maintenance of any Item of Equipment (including the periodicity of maintenance or recordkeeping in respect of such Item of Equipment) based upon such Item of Equipment being leased and financed hereunder and under the other Operative Documents as compared to equipment of a similar nature which Lessee owns or leases. Lessee shall prepare and deliver to Agent or Lessor, as applicable, within a reasonable time prior to the required date of filing (or, to the extent permissible, file on behalf of Agent and Lessor) any and all reports required to be filed by Agent or Lessor with any Governmental Authority of any country or subdivision thereof in which any Item of Equipment is located by reason of the ownership by Lessor of the Items of Equipment or the leasing thereof to Lessee (subject, however, to Lessee’s right to Permitted Contests). Agent agrees to inform Lessee of any request for such reports received by it or of which it has knowledge. Lessee shall maintain or cause to be maintained, and shall permit Agent and Lessor, their respective agents, representatives, or assignees to inspect at reasonable times during regular business hours and as often as requested (but not so as to materially interfere with the business of Lessee and not more than annually if no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) upon five (5) Business Days prior notice so long as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and at any time following the occurrence and continuation of a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default or following the election by the Lessee of the Sale Option, all records, returns, renditions, logs and other materials required by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over an Item of Equipment or Lessee, to be maintained in respect of such Item of Equipment (subject, however, to Lessee’s right to Permitted Contests). Lessee hereby waives any right now or hereafter conferred by law to make repairs on any Item of Equipment at the expense of Lessor or Agent.

Section 8.4. Alterations and Modifications. In case any Item of Equipment, part or appliance therein (each, a “Part”) is required to be altered, added to or modified in order to comply in all material respects with any Applicable Laws and Regulations (a “Required Alteration”) pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.3 hereof, Lessee agrees to make such Required Alteration at its own expense. Lessee shall have the right to make or cause to be made any modification, alteration or improvement to any Item of Equipment (herein referred to as a “Permitted Modification”), or to remove or cause to be removed any Part which has become worn out, broken or obsolete; provided in each case that Lessee continues to be in compliance with Sections 8.1 and 8.3 hereof and that such action (a) will not decrease the present or future economic value of the applicable Item of Equipment or impair its originally intended use or function or decrease its economic useful life and (b) will not cause such Item of Equipment to become suitable for use only by Lessee. In the event any Permitted Modification (i) is readily removable without impairing the value or use which the Item of Equipment would have had at such time had such Part not been affixed or placed to or on such Item of Equipment (a “Removable Part”), (ii) is not a Required Alteration and (iii) is not a Part which replaces any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Item of Equipment on the date on which such Item of Equipment became subject to this Lease, or any Part in replacement of or substitution for any such original Part (each an “Original Part”), any such Permitted Modification, if no Lease Event of Default is continuing, shall be and remain the property of Lessee. To the extent such Permitted Modification is not a Removable Part, or is a Required Alteration or an Original Part, and (if the Removable Part remains the property of Lessee) to the extent a Removable Part is not the property of Lessee because of the continuance

-42-

of a Lease Event of Default, the same shall immediately and automatically be and become the property of Lessor and subject to the terms of this Lease. Any Required Alterations, and any Parts installed or replacements made by Lessee upon any Item of Equipment pursuant to its obligation to maintain and keep the Items of Equipment in good order, operating condition and repair under Section 8.3 (collectively, “Replacement Parts”) and all other Parts which become the property of Lessor shall be considered, in each case, accessions to such Item of Equipment and title thereto or security interest therein shall be immediately and automatically vested in Lessor. All Replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and shall be in as good an operating condition as, and shall have a value and utility at least equal to, the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts and the relevant Items of Equipment were immediately prior to such replacement or the event or events necessitating such replacement in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof. Any Part at any time removed from any Item of Equipment shall remain subject to the interests of Lessor under the Operative Documents, no matter where located, until such time as such Part shall be replaced by a Part which has been incorporated or installed in or attached to such Item of Equipment and which meets the requirements for a Replacement Part specified above, whereupon Lessor hereby releases any and all interest in and to such replaced Part. Upon the request of Lessor and no later than 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Lessee, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor, a Xxxx of Sale evidencing the conveyance by Lessee to Lessor of all Replacement Parts not previously evidenced by a Xxxx of Sale; provided that such Xxxx of Sale may describe the Replacement Parts generally and need not specifically describe each individual part, and such other documents in respect of such Part or Parts as Lessor may reasonably request in order to confirm that title to such Part or Parts has passed to Lessor, as hereinabove provided. Concurrently with the delivery by Lessee of a Xxxx of Sale with respect to a Replacement Part, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a Xxxx of Sale (without representations or warranties except as to the absence of Lessor Liens) for the Part replaced by such Replacement Part and such other documents as may be required to release the replaced Part from the terms of this Lease, in such form as may reasonably be requested by Lessee. Any such Replacement Part, regardless of whether evidenced by a Xxxx of Sale, shall be deemed part of such unit, for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in such unit, and title to such Replacement Part shall thereupon vest in Lessor, subject to the terms of this Lease. All replacements pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be purchased by Lessee with its own funds. There shall be no obligation on the part of Lessor or Agent to pay for or otherwise finance any such replacement.

Section 8.5. Identifying Numbers and Registration; Legend; Changes; Inspection. (a) Lessee, at its own expense, will cause each Item of Equipment to be kept numbered with the identification number as shall be set forth on Schedule I hereto.

(b) The Lessee will not change the identification number of any Item of Equipment unless and until (i) a statement of new number or numbers to be substituted therefor shall have been delivered to the Agent and filed, recorded and deposited by the Lessee in all public offices where any financing statement has been filed in respect thereof for purposes of perfecting any security interest created hereby and (ii) Lessee shall have furnished the Agent an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent to the effect that once such statement has been so filed, recorded and/or deposited, no other filing, recording, deposit or

-43-

giving of notice with or to any other Federal, state or local government or agency thereof is necessary to perfect the lien and security interest of Lessor in such Items of Equipment. The Equipment may be lettered with the names or initials or other insignia used by the Lessee or any Sublessee. Upon the request of Agent or Lessor, Lessee shall make the Items of Equipment available to Agent or Lessor, as applicable, their respective agents, representatives or assignees for inspection at their then location and shall also make Lessee’s books, manuals, logs, records and other information pertaining to the Items of Equipment available for inspection and permit such parties to make copies thereof, in each case at reasonable times during regular business hours and as often as requested (but not so as to materially interfere with the business of Lessee and not more than annually if no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) upon five (5) Business Days prior notice so long as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing or at any time following the occurrence and continuation of a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default or following the election by the Lessee of the Sale Option; provided that all costs and expenses of Lessor or Agent in connection with such inspection shall be borne by the inspecting party unless a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such inspection, in which case all such costs and expenses shall be borne by Lessee. Agent and Lessor shall have the right to inspect and show the Items of Equipment to prospective purchasers at any time following the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default or following the election by the Lessee of the Sale Option.

Section 8.6. Liens. Lessee will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on or with respect to (i) any Item of Equipment or any Part thereof or any other Lessee Collateral, or Lessor’s title thereto or interest therein or (ii) this Lease or Lessor’s interests hereunder. Lessee, at its own expense, will promptly pay, satisfy and otherwise take such actions as may be necessary to keep this Lease and the Items of Equipment and the other Lessee Collateral, free and clear of, and to duly discharge or eliminate, or bond in a satisfactory manner to Lessor in its reasonable judgment, any such Lien not excepted above if the same shall arise at any time. Lessee will notify Lessor in writing promptly upon becoming aware of any Tax or other Lien (other than any Lien excepted above) that shall attach to any Item of Equipment or any other Lessee Collateral, and of the full particulars thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, Lessee shall not assign or pledge any of its rights under any Sublease to any Person other than Lessor.

Section 8.7. Replacements and Substitutions. (a) In addition to the rights of Lessee under Section 8.4, Lessee shall have the option at any time to replace any Item or Items of Equipment (a “Replaced Item” or “Replaced Items”) with a substitute Item or Items of Equipment (a “Replacement Item” or “Replacement Items”), subject to the following conditions:

(i) No Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Lessee shall represent in writing to Agent to such effect;

(ii) The Replacement Item or Replacement Items shall be located in a location permitted by Section 8.1 and Lessee shall represent in writing to Agent to such effect;

-44-

(iii) The Replacement Item or Replacement Items shall have a function and utility comparable to or better than the Replaced Item or Replaced Items and Lessee shall represent in writing to Agent to such effect;

(iv) The Replacement Item or Replacement Items shall have a value, useful life, and operating condition equal to or greater than the Replaced Item or Replaced Items and Lessee shall represent in writing to Agent to such effect, which shall be confirmed by an appraisal reasonably satisfactory in scope and form to Lessor and Agent and performed by an appraiser selected by the Lessor and Agent and approved by Lessee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) for each Replaced Item being substituted pursuant to this Section 8.7 in which the Purchase Price, or for each series of substitutions pursuant to this Section 8.7 in which the aggregate Purchase Price, is equal to or greater than $5,000,000;

(v) The aggregate Purchase Price of all Replaced Items leased hereunder and substituted pursuant to this Section 8.7 from and after the Delivery Date to and including the date of substitution and after giving effect thereto, shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate Purchase Price of all Items of Equipment subject to this Lease as of the Delivery Date; and

(vi) Prior to the date of any such substitution, Lessee shall replace such Replaced Item or Replaced Items by complying with the applicable terms of Section 9.1 to the same extent as if a Casualty or a series of Casualties had occurred with respect to such Replaced Item or Replaced Items, and the Lessor shall transfer title to the Replaced Item or Replaced Items to Lessee in the same manner as provided in the applicable provisions of Section 9.1.

Items of Equipment replaced pursuant to Section 9.1(b) following a Casualty shall not be included for purposes of the calculations set forth above.

(b) All replacements pursuant to Section 8.7(a) shall be purchased by Lessee with its own funds. There shall be no obligation on the part of Lessor or Agent to pay for or otherwise finance any such replacement. No termination of this Lease with respect to any Item of Equipment as contemplated by this Section 8.7 shall result in any reduction of Rent or Lessee’s obligation to pay Basic Rent hereunder.

Upon the occurrence of a Casualty or a series of Casualties with respect to an Item or Items of Equipment with a Purchase Price aggregating in excess of $5,000,000 during the Lease Term, Lessee shall give Lessor and Agent prompt notice thereof (a “Casualty Notice”). The Casualty Notice shall specify whether Lessee will:

(a) pay to Lessor the Casualty Amount of the Item or Items of Equipment suffering such Casualty or series of Casualties, together with all other Rent then due and owing and if such amount is paid on a date which is not a Payment Date any and all Break Funding Amounts and an amount equal to the sum of the Basic Rent described in clause (A) of the definition Casualty Amount with respect to such Casualty Amount due on the next succeeding Payment Date divided by 90, multiplied by the number of days from the immediately preceding Payment Date to but excluding the date of payment, which payment shall be made within 30 days after such Casualty or the latest in time of such series of Casualties (the “Casualty Settlement Date”); or

(b) replace the Item or Items of Equipment with respect to which the Casualty or series of Casualties has occurred pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 9.1; provided that (i) the aggregate Purchase Price of all Items of Equipment replaced pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) with respect to this Lease from and after the Delivery Date to and including the date of replacement and after giving effect thereto, shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate Purchase Price of all Items of Equipment subject to this Lease as of the Delivery Date and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Lease Event of Default or a Lease Default, Lessee shall be obligated, at the option of the Agent, to make the payments referred to in clause (a) above and shall not be entitled to exercise any right or election of replacement pursuant to this clause (b).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee has elected or is required to pay any Casualty Amount pursuant to clause (a) above and either:

(i) the payment of such Casualty Amount would cause the aggregate amount of all Casualty Amounts paid with respect to the Items of Equipment leased hereunder during the term of the Lease to exceed 25% of the aggregate Purchase Price of all Items of Equipment subject to this Lease as of the Delivery Date; or

(ii) after giving effect to the payment of the Casualty Amount, the End of Term Value Ratio of the Items of Equipment remaining subject to this Lease is less than the End of Term Value Ratio of all Items of Equipment originally subject to this Lease (as set forth in the Appraisal),

then Lessee shall not be entitled to pay such Casualty Amount pursuant to clause (a) above, and instead Lessee shall be deemed to have elected the Early Termination Option with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Items of Equipment then subject to this Lease and Lessee shall be required to purchase all but not less than all of the Items of Equipment in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 14.1 on the Casualty Settlement Date.

If Lessee has elected, or is required, to pay the Casualty Amount with respect to the Items of Equipment leased hereunder pursuant to clause (a) above, Lessee shall continue to make all payments of Rent due under this Lease until and including the Casualty Settlement Date. Upon payment of the Casualty Amount in respect of such Item of Equipment on such Casualty Settlement Date together with all Rent and Supplemental Rent then due and owing, the remaining scheduled Rent payments hereunder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the

-46-

product of the scheduled amount of each such payment (determined in each case prior to the receipt of such Casualty Amount), multiplied by the Item Value Fraction of such Item of Equipment suffering such Casualty or series of Casualties.

If Lessee has given notice that it intends to replace the Item or Items of Equipment suffering such Casualty or series of Casualties, and such replacement is permitted under the foregoing clause (b), Lessee may make subject to this Lease, not later than 90 days after such Casualty or the latest in time of such series of Casualties with respect to such Item or Items of Equipment, a replacement for such Item or Items of Equipment meeting the suitability standards hereinafter set forth. To be suitable as a Replacement Item of Equipment (including for purposes of Section 8.7), an Item of Equipment (or Items of Equipment) must (i) be of the same function and utility, (ii) have the same or better Residual Value, remaining economic useful life and operating condition (immediately preceding the Casualty or series of Casualties assuming that such Item or Items of Equipment had been maintained in accordance with the terms of Section 8.3) as the Item or Items of Equipment, taken as a whole, suffering the Casualty or series of Casualties, (iii) have a Fair Market Value of not less than the Fair Market Value (immediately preceding the Casualty or series of Casualties assuming that such Item or Items of Equipment had been maintained in accordance with the terms of Section 8.3) of the Item or Items of Equipment, taken as a whole, suffering the Casualty or series of Casualties and (iv) be free and clear of any Liens other than Permitted Liens. Lessee shall represent in writing to Agent that such Replacement Item or Items of Equipment meet the standards set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence and shall deliver an appraisal at Lessee’s sole expense in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent from an appraiser selected by the Agent and approved by Lessee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) confirming that such Replacement Item or Items of Equipment meet the standards set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence. Lessee shall cause a Xxxx of Sale and a lease supplement to be executed and delivered to Agent and Lessor in order to subject such replacement Item of Equipment or Items of Equipment to this Lease, and upon such execution and delivery and the receipt by Agent and the Lessor of (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of Lessee’s compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 9.2 with respect to such replacement Item of Equipment or Items of Equipment, and (ii) an opinion of counsel to Lessee (which may be in-house counsel) opining as to the authorization, execution and delivery of the Xxxx of Sale and the lease supplement, the enforceability of the lease supplement and the filing and recording of the UCC financing statements with respect thereto and, in each case, consistent with the opinions delivered on the Delivery Date covering such matters, such replacement item or items shall be deemed an “Item of Equipment” or “Items of Equipment” for all purposes hereof.

If (i) Agent or Lessor has received the amount payable with respect to the Casualty or series of Casualties and all other amounts due hereunder (if any), or (ii) the Item or Items of Equipment have been substituted or repaired in accordance herewith, and, in each case, no Material Lease Default or Lease Event of Default exists, Lessee shall be entitled to receive from Agent or Lessor, as applicable, the proceeds of any recovery in respect of the Item or Items of Equipment from insurance or otherwise, to the extent recovered by Agent or Lessor (“Casualty Recoveries”), and Agent or Lessor, as applicable, subject to the rights of any insurer insuring the Items of Equipment as provided herein, shall execute and deliver to Lessee, or to its assignee or

-47-

nominee, a Xxxx of Sale (without representations or warranties except that each such Item of Equipment is free and clear of Lessor Liens) for the Item or Items of Equipment (other than repaired items), and such other documents as may be required to release the Item or Items of Equipment from the terms of this Lease, in such form as may reasonably be requested by Lessee. All fees, costs and expenses relating to a substitution or repair as described herein shall be borne by Lessee. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.1, Lessee shall not be released from its obligations hereunder in the event of, and shall bear the risk of, any Casualty to any Item of Equipment prior to or during the term of this Lease and thereafter until all of Lessee’s obligations hereunder are fully performed.

Any payments (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds) received at any time by Agent, Lessor or Lessee from any Governmental Authority or other party with respect to any loss or damage to any Item or Items of Equipment not constituting a Casualty (i) up to $5,000,000, shall be paid to Lessee, so long as no Material Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, for application to repair or for replacement of property in accordance with Sections 8.1 and 8.3 or (ii) in excess of $5,000,000, shall be held by Agent and applied directly in payment of repairs or for replacement of property in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.1 and 8.3, if not already paid by Lessee, or if already paid by Lessee and no Material Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be applied to reimburse Lessee for such payment, and any balance remaining after compliance with said Sections with respect to such loss or damage shall be retained by or disbursed to (as applicable) Lessee.

LESSEE HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISK OF LOSS, DAMAGE, THEFT, TAKING, DESTRUCTION, CONFISCATION, REQUISITION, COMMANDEERING, TAKING BY EMINENT DOMAIN OR CONDEMNATION, PARTIAL OR COMPLETE, OF OR TO EACH ITEM OF EQUIPMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED OR OCCASIONED, SUCH RISK TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE WITH RESPECT TO EACH ITEM OF EQUIPMENT FROM THE DELIVERY DATE AND CONTINUING UNTIL SUCH ITEM OF EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN PURCHASED BY A THIRD PARTY OR RETURNED TO LESSOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS HEREOF. LESSEE AGREES THAT NO OCCURRENCE SPECIFIED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE SHALL IMPAIR, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, ANY OBLIGATION OF LESSEE UNDER THIS LEASE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE OBLIGATION TO PAY RENT.

Section 9.2. Insurance Coverages. Lessee shall at all times, at its expense, cause to be carried and maintained with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance against loss or damage to the Items of Equipment, of the kinds and in the amounts customarily maintained by similar corporations engaged in similar operations in similar jurisdictions and carry such other insurance as is usually carried by such corporations; provided, that in any event Lessee will maintain:

(a) Casualty Insurance—insurance against risks of physical loss or damage with respect to the Items of Equipment with deductibles and in such minimum amounts as are consistent with industry standards; provided, however, that at no time shall the amount of coverage, on a replacement cost basis, be less than the outstanding Lease Balance as shall be applicable to the Items of Equipment;

-48-

(b) Comprehensive General Liability Insurance—combined single limit comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage in amounts at least equal to $10,000,000 per occurrence, with such deductibles as are carried by similarly situated companies operating similar facilities and equipment; and

(c) Other Insurance—such other insurance, including environmental/pollution and worker’s compensation insurance, in each case, generally carried by owners of equipment similar to the Items of Equipment and properties in each jurisdiction where the Items of Equipment are located, in such amounts and against such risks as are then customary for equipment and property similar in use.

Such insurance shall be written by reputable insurance companies that are financially sound and solvent, rated in Best’s Insurance Guide or any successor thereto (or if there be none, an organization having a similar national reputation) with a general policyholder rating of “A” and a financial size rating of at least “X” from A.M. Best and Company or any successor thereto (or if there is none, an organization having a similar national reputation) or otherwise acceptable to the Agent. All such insurance shall name Agent as loss-payee and each of Agent, Lessor and the Assignees as additional insured, as their respective interests may appear pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Each policy referred to in this Section 9.2 shall provide that (i) it will not be cancelled or its limits reduced, or allowed to lapse without renewal, except after not less than 30 days written notice to Lessor and Agent, (ii) the interests of Lessor shall not be invalidated by any act or negligence of, or breach of representation or warranty by, Lessee or any Person having an interest in any Item of Equipment (other than Lessee’s failure to pay premiums), (iii) such insurance is primary with respect to any other insurance carried by or available to Lessor; (iv) the insurer shall waive any right of subrogation, setoff, counterclaim, or other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, against Lessor; and (v) the insurer shall waive any right to claim any premiums or commission against Lessor. Lessee will notify Agent and Lessor promptly of any policy cancellation, reduction in policy limits, modification or amendment.

Nothing in this Section 9.2 shall prohibit Lessor from obtaining insurance for its own account and at its own expense and any proceeds payable thereunder shall be payable as provided in the insurance policy relating thereto; provided, that no such insurance may be obtained which would limit or otherwise adversely affect the coverage or payment of any insurance required to be obtained or maintained by Lessee pursuant to this Section 9.2.

Section 9.3. Insurance Certificates. On the Delivery Date, and thereafter within 15 days after the expiration dates of the expiring policies theretofore delivered pursuant to Section 9.2, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor and Agent certificates issued by the insurer(s) or insurance broker(s) for the insurance maintained pursuant to Section 9.2; provided, however, that if the delivery of any certificate is delayed, Lessee shall not be deemed to be in violation of the obligation to deliver such certificate if, within such 15 day period, Lessee delivers an executed binder with respect thereto and thereafter delivers the certificate upon receipt thereof.

ARTICLE X

CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Agent and Lessor undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth herein and in the other Operative Documents, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Lease against Agent or Lessor, and Agent and Lessor shall not, nor shall they have a duty to, manage, control, use, sell, maintain, insure, register, lease, operate, modify, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Items of Equipment in any manner whatsoever, except as required by the terms of the Operative Documents and as otherwise provided herein.

ARTICLE XI

INDEMNITIES

Section 11.1. General Indemnification. (a) Subject to clause (b) below, Lessee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold each Indemnitee harmless, on a Grossed-Up Basis, from and against any and all Claims that directly or indirectly relate to, result from or arise out of or are alleged to relate to, result from or arise out of any of the following (whether or not any such Indemnitee is indemnified as to such matter by any other Person and whether or not such Claim arises or accrues prior to the Delivery Date or after the Lease Expiration Date):

(i) the Items of Equipment, the other Lessee Collateral or any part thereof;

(ii) any of the Operative Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or any investigation, litigation, enforcement or proceeding in connection therewith, and any amendment, modification or waiver in respect thereof;

(iii) the regulation of the ownership, construction, leasing, use or operation of the Items of Equipment or any part thereof, but only to the extent that the Indemnitee is subjected to such regulation as a result of its being a party to or beneficiary of the Operative Documents or its involvement in the transactions contemplated in the Operative Documents;

(iv) the offer, financing, refinancing, inspection, mortgaging, granting of a security interest in, design, manufacture, construction, purchase, ownership, acquisition, acceptance, rejection, delivery, nondelivery, redelivery, possession, transportation, lease, sublease, installation, condition, transfer of title, rental, use, operation, storage, maintenance, modification, alteration, repair, assembly, sale, return, abandonment or other application or disposition of all or any part of the Items of Equipment or any interest therein or improvements, additions or modifications thereto or the imposition of any Lien thereon, or the failure to perform or accomplish any of the foregoing in accordance with the requirements of the Operative Documents, other agreements governing such matters or Applicable Laws and Regulations, including, without

-50-

limitation: Claims or penalties arising from any violation of law or in tort (strict liability or otherwise), latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable, any Claim based upon a violation or alleged violation of the terms of any restriction, easement, condition or covenant or other matter affecting title to the Items of Equipment, the making of any alterations or modifications in violation of any standards imposed by any insurance polices required to be maintained by the Lessee pursuant to the Lease which policies are in effect at any time with respect to the Items of Equipment or any part thereof, and any Claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement and any violations of any environmental noise or pollution control laws;

(v) a breach by Lessee of any of its covenants under any Operative Document, or a misrepresentation by the Lessee (including any omission by Lessee that makes any representation made by Lessee materially misleading) in any Operative Document or in any certificate or other document delivered by the Lessee to the Lessor or Agent pursuant to any Operative Document, or the material inaccuracy of any information provided by Lessee to any third party in connection with the preparation by such third party of a report or other document required to be delivered pursuant to any Operative Document;

(vi) the existence of any Lien on or with respect to the Items of Equipment, title thereto, any interest therein or any Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent, including any Liens which arise out of the possession, use, operation, construction, repair or rebuilding of the Items of Equipment or by reason of labor or materials furnished or claimed to have been furnished to Lessee, or any of its contractors or agents or by reason of the financing of any personality or equipment purchased or leased by the Lessee or alterations or modifications made by the Lessee, except Liens in favor of the Lessor; and

(vii) any Claims related to the Release from any Item of Equipment of any substance into the environment, including (without limitation) Claims arising out of the use of any Item of Equipment for the transportation or storage of any Hazardous Material.

(b) Exclusions. The provisions of Section 11.1(a) shall not apply to any Claim:

(i) with respect to any Indemnitee, to the extent attributable to the willful misconduct or gross negligence of, or negligence in the handling of funds by, such Indemnitee, its officers, agents, employees and Affiliates or the breach in any material respect of any representation or covenant made by such Indemnitee under the Operative Documents;

(ii) to the extent attributable to acts or events that occur after the payment in full of the entire Lease Balance and all other amounts due from Lessee to the Agent and Lessor pursuant to the Operative Documents or repossession of the Items of Equipment by Lessor or Agent following a Lease Event of Default (except to the extent fairly attributable to circumstances existing or acts, events, liabilities or damages occurring or accruing prior to such payment in full or repossession, or to the extent relating to the acts

-51-

or omissions of the Lessee in relation to, or liabilities arising out of, their operation, repair, servicing, maintenance or replacement of the Items of Equipment); or

(iii) in respect of Taxes, which are governed by Section 11.2, other than a payment necessary to make payments under this Section 11.1 on a Grossed-Up Basis.

(c) Contests. In respect of the indemnification provided under Section 11.1(a), promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of any pending or threatened Claim, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against Lessee give written notice thereof to Lessee; provided that the failure to provide such prompt notice shall not limit Lessee’s obligations or prejudice any rights of such Indemnitee under Section 11.1(a) with respect to such Claim, except to the extent that such failure to provide prompt notice adversely affects Lessee’s indemnification obligations hereunder. So long as no Lease Event of Default is continuing, Lessee at its own expense, may elect to assume the defense of any such Claim through its own counsel, which shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Indemnitee, on behalf of the Indemnitee (with full right of subrogation to the Indemnitee’s rights and defenses). Lessee must indicate its election to assume such defense by written notice to the Indemnitee within 30 days following receipt of Indemnitee’s notice of the Claim, or in the case of a third party claim which requires a shorter time for response then within such shorter period as specified in the Indemnitee’s notice of Claim; provided that such Indemnitee has given Lessee notice thereof. If Lessee denies liability or fails to respond to the notice within the time period set forth above, the Indemnitee may defend or compromise the Claim as it deems appropriate without prejudice to any of Indemnitee’s rights hereunder and with no further obligation to inform Lessee of the status of the Claim and no right of Lessee to approve or disapprove any actions taken in connection therewith by the Indemnitee. If Lessee shall have elected to assume the defense of any such Claim, then upon the request of Lessee, the Indemnitee requesting payment of indemnity under Section 11.1(a) shall promptly furnish Lessee with copies of any records or documents pertaining to the matter to be indemnified and, to the extent known by such Indemnitee, a reasonably detailed explanation of the circumstances giving rise to the claim of indemnification and the determination of the amount of the requested indemnity payment. Upon payment in full to Indemnitee of any indemnity pursuant to Section 11.1(a), Lessee shall be subrogated to any right of Indemnitee in respect of the matter against which such indemnity has been paid. If Lessee shall have elected to assume the defense of any such Claim, upon the written request at any time and from time to time of Lessee, Indemnitee shall, at the expense of Lessee, take such reasonable actions and execute such documents as are necessary or reasonably appropriate to assist Lessee in the preservation and enforcement against third parties of Lessee’s right of subrogation hereunder. The Indemnitee may employ separate counsel in any such Claim and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless the Indemnitee shall have been advised by its counsel that a conflict of interest exists in Lessee’s counsel’s representations of the Indemnitee and Lessee, in which case the fees and expenses of such Indemnitee’s counsel shall be for the account of Lessee. All fees and expenses shall be paid periodically as incurred. So long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Claim effected without its consent unless Lessee shall fail to, or elect in writing not to, assume the defense thereof in which case the Indemnitee, without waiving any rights to indemnification hereunder, may defend such Claim and enter into any good faith

-52-

settlement thereof without the prior written consent of Lessee. Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Indemnitee, effect any settlement of any such Claim unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liabilities that are the subject of such Claim. The parties agree to cooperate in any defense or settlement of any such Claim and to give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto subject to appropriate confidentiality agreements. The parties will similarly cooperate in the prosecution of any claim or lawsuit against any third party.

(d) Subrogation. Upon the payment in full of any claim pursuant to this Section 11.1, Lessee, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any claims the Indemnitee may have relating thereto. The Indemnitee agrees, at Lessee’s expense, to give such further assurances or agreements and to cooperate with Lessee to permit the Lessee to pursue such claims, if any, to the extent reasonably requested by Lessee. If Lessee shall have paid an amount to or for an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 11.1, and such Indemnitee subsequently shall be reimbursed in respect of such indemnified amount from any other Person, such Indemnitee shall promptly pay Lessee, but not before Lessee shall have made all payments then due to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 11.1 and any other payments then due hereunder and under any other Operative Document, the amount of such reimbursement, including interest actually received attributable thereto, net of Taxes required to be paid by such Indemnitee as a result of any refund received, after giving effect to such payment to Lessee.

(e) Not Residual Guaranty. Nothing in this Section 11.1 shall be construed as a guaranty of residual value of the Items of Equipment.

Section 11.2. General Tax Indemnity.

(a) Indemnification. Lessee shall pay and assume liability for, and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect and defend the Equipment and the other Lessee Collateral and all Indemnitees, and hold the Equipment and the other Lessee Collateral and all Indemnitees harmless against, all Impositions on an Grossed-Up Basis. Each Indemnitee further agrees to make good faith efforts to implement the reasonable recommendations made by Lessee regarding techniques to minimize Taxes indemnifiable hereunder, provided that Lessee agrees to indemnify such Indemnitee on a Grossed-Up Basis and to hold each Indemnitee harmless against any cost or expense arising from instituting Lessee’s recommendations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any indemnification obligation of Lessee with respect to any withholding Taxes incurred by an Indemnitee shall be governed exclusively by Section 11.3.

(b) Contests. If any claim shall be made against any Indemnitee or if any proceeding shall be commenced against any Indemnitee (including a written notice of such proceeding) for any Imposition as to which Lessee reasonably may have an indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section 11.2, or if any Indemnitee reasonably shall determine that any Imposition for which Lessee may have an indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section 11.2 may be payable, such Indemnitee shall promptly (and in any event, within 30 days) notify Lessee in writing (provided that failure to so notify Lessee within 30 days shall not alter such Indemnitee’s rights under this Section 11.2, except to the extent such failure precludes or materially adversely affects the ability

-53-

to conduct a contest of any indemnified Imposition, in which case Lessee shall have no indemnification obligation hereunder to the extent such failure precludes or materially affects their ability to conduct a contest) and shall not take any action with respect to such claim, proceeding or Imposition without the written consent of Lessee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed) for 30 days after the receipt of such notice by Lessee; provided, however, that in the case of any such claim or proceeding, if such Indemnitee shall be required by law or regulation to take action prior to the end of such 30-day period, such Indemnitee shall in such notice to Lessee, so inform Lessee, and such Indemnitee shall not take any action with respect to such claim, proceeding or Imposition without the consent of Lessee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed) for 10 days after the receipt of such notice by Lessee, unless the Indemnitee shall be required by law or regulation to take action prior to the end of such 10-day period.

Lessee shall be entitled for a period of 30 days from receipt of such notice from the Indemnitee (or such shorter period as the Indemnitee has notified Lessee is required by law or regulation for the Indemnitee to commence such contest), to request in writing that such Indemnitee contest in good faith of such Imposition, at Lessee’s expense. If (x) such contest can be pursued in the name of Lessee and independently from any other proceeding involving an Imposition for which Lessee has not agreed to indemnify such Indemnitee, (y) such contest must be pursued in the name of the Indemnitee, but can be pursued independently from any other proceeding involving an Imposition for which Lessee has not agreed to indemnify such Indemnitee or (z) the Indemnitee so requests, then Lessee shall be permitted to control the contest of such claim, provided that in the case of a contest described in any of clause (x), (y) or (z) if the Indemnitee determines in good faith that such contest by Lessee reasonably could have a material adverse impact on the business or operations of the Indemnitee and provides a written explanation to Lessee of such determination, the Indemnitee may elect to control or reassert control of the contest, and provided, that by taking control of the contest, Lessee acknowledges that it is responsible for the Imposition ultimately determined to be due by reason of such claim, and; provided, further, that in determining the application of clauses (x) and (y), each Indemnitee shall take any and all reasonable steps to segregate claims for any Impositions for which Lessee indemnifies hereunder from Impositions for which Lessee is not obligated to indemnify hereunder, so that Lessee can control the contest of the former. In all other claims requested to be contested by Lessee, the Indemnitee shall control the contest of such claim, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessee. In any contest controlled by an Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall conduct such contest in good faith. In no event shall Lessee be permitted to contest (or the Indemnitee required to contest) any claim (A) if such Indemnitee provides Lessee with a legal opinion of independent counsel that such action, suit or proceeding involves a material risk of imposition of criminal liability or will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on any Item or Items of Equipment or any part thereof or any other Lessee Collateral unless Lessee shall have posted and maintained a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitee in respect to such risk, (B) if a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless Lessee shall have posted and maintained a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitee in respect of the Impositions subject to such claim and any and all expenses for which Lessee is responsible hereunder reasonably foreseeable in connection with the contest of such claim, (C) unless Lessee shall have agreed to pay and shall pay to such Indemnitee on

-54-

demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, losses and expenses that such Indemnitee may incur in connection with contesting such Imposition, including all reasonable legal, accounting and investigatory fees and disbursements, or (D) if such contest shall involve the payment of the Impositions prior to the contest, unless Lessee shall provide to the Indemnitee an interest-free advance in an amount equal to the Imposition that the Indemnitee is required to pay (with no additional net after-tax costs (including Taxes) to such Indemnitee). In addition, for Indemnitee-controlled contests and claims contested in the name of the Indemnitee in a public forum, no contest shall be required: (A) unless the amount of the potential indemnity (taking into account all similar or logically related claims that have been or could be raised in any audit involving such Indemnitee for which Lessee may be liable to pay an indemnity under this Section 11.2) exceeds $75,000 and (B) unless, if requested by the Indemnitee, the Lessee shall have provided to the Indemnitee an opinion of counsel selected by Lessee that a reasonable basis exists to contest such claim. In no event shall an Indemnitee be required to appeal an adverse judicial determination to the United States Supreme Court.

The party conducting the contest shall consult in good faith with the other party and its counsel with respect to the contest of such claim for Impositions (or claim for refund) but the decisions regarding what actions to be taken shall be made by the controlling party in its sole judgment; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee is the controlling party, no settlement offer with respect to such claims shall be made or accepted by the Indemnitee without the prior consent of the Lessee (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); provided further, that if the Indemnitee is the controlling party and Lessee recommends the acceptance of a settlement offer made by the relevant Governmental Agency and such Indemnitee rejects such settlement offer then the amount for which Lessee will be required to indemnify such Indemnitee with respect to the Taxes subject to such offer shall not exceed the amount which it would have owed if such settlement offer had been accepted. In addition, the controlling party shall keep the noncontrolling party reasonably informed as to the progress of the contest, and shall provide the noncontrolling party with a copy of (or appropriate excerpts from) any reports or claims issued by the relevant auditing agent or taxing authority to the controlling party thereof, in connection with such claim or the contest thereof.

Each Indemnitee shall supply Lessee with such information and documents reasonably requested by Lessee as is necessary or advisable for Lessee to participate in any action, suit or proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 11.2(b), and Lessee shall promptly reimburse such Indemnitee for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of supplying such information and documents. No Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other compromise or fail to appeal an adverse ruling with respect to any claim which is entitled to be indemnified under this Section 11.2 (and with respect to which contest is required under this Section 11.2(b)) without the prior written consent of Lessee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified under this Section 11.2 with respect to such claim.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, an Indemnitee will not be required to contest (and Lessee shall not be permitted to contest) a claim with respect to any Imposition if (i) such Indemnitee shall waive its right to indemnification under this Section 11.2 with respect to such claim (and any claim with respect to such year or any other taxable year, the contest of which is materially adversely affected as a result of such waiver) or (ii) such

-55-

Imposition is the sole result of a claim of a continuing and consistent nature, which claim has previously been resolved against the relevant Indemnitee (unless a change in law or facts has occurred since such prior adverse resolution and Lessee provides an opinion of independent tax counsel to the effect that it is more likely than not that such change in law or facts will result in a favorable resolution of the claim at issue).

(i) To or for the Account of an Indemnitee. (x) Any Imposition indemnifiable under this Section 11.2 shall be paid directly when due to the applicable taxing authority if direct payment is practicable and permitted. If direct payment to the applicable taxing authority is not permitted or is otherwise not made, any amount payable to an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee (accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the amount so payable), but not before two Business Days prior to the date that the relevant Taxes are due. Any payments made to an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be made directly to the Indemnitee entitled thereto in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as specified by the Indemnitee in written directions to Lessee, or, if no such direction shall have been given, by check of Lessee payable to the order of the Indemnitee by certified mail, postage prepaid at its address as set forth in this Lease. Upon the request of any Indemnitee with respect to an Imposition that Lessee is required to pay, Lessee shall furnish to such Indemnitee the original or a copy of a receipt for Lessee’s payment of such Imposition or such other evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee.

(y) At the Lessee’s request, the amount of any indemnification payment by Lessee pursuant to subsection (a) shall be verified and certified by an independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Lessee and the Indemnitee. The fees and expenses of such independent public accounting firm shall be paid by the Lessee unless such verification shall result in an adjustment in the Lessee’s favor of 5% or more of the payment as computed by the Indemnitee, in which case such fees and expenses shall be paid by the Indemnitee.

(ii) To Lessee. (x) If any Indemnitee actually shall realize a Tax benefit (whether by way of deduction, credit, allocation or apportionment or otherwise) with respect to an Imposition not indemnifiable hereunder which would not have been realized but for any Imposition with respect to which Lessee has reimbursed or indemnified such Indemnitee pursuant to the Operative Documents, which benefit was not previously taken into account in determining the amount of Lessee’s payment to such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee an amount equal to the amount of such Tax benefit on a Grossed-Up Basis; provided, however, that no payment shall be made as long as Lease Event of Default is continuing; provided further, however, that no Indemnitee shall be required to pay to Lessee any Tax benefit to the extent such payment would be greater than the amount of the Impositions in respect of which the reimbursement or indemnification was paid by Lessee, reduced by all prior payments by such Indemnitee under this Section 11.2(c)(ii)(x) in respect of such amount; any payment to Lessee which is so limited shall, to the extent of such unpaid excess, be carried over and shall be available to offset any future obligations of Lessee under this Section 11.2. If such repaid Tax benefit is thereafter lost, the additional Tax payable in respect of such lost Tax benefit shall be

-56-

treated as an Imposition indemnifiable hereunder without regard to the exclusions set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x) of the definition of Impositions.

(y) Upon receipt by an Indemnitee of a refund or credit of all or part of any Impositions paid or indemnified against by Lessee, which refund or credit was not previously taken into account in determining the amount of Lessee’s payment to such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee, on a Grossed-Up Basis, an amount equal to the amount of such refund or credit, plus any interest received by or credited to such Indemnitee with respect to such refund; provided, however, that no such payment shall be made as long as a Lease Event of Default is continuing; provided, further, however, that no Indemnitee shall be required to pay to Lessee any refund or credit to the extent such refund or credit is greater than the amount of Impositions in respect of which payment or indemnification was made by Lessee, reduced by all prior payments by such Indemnitee under this Section 11.2(c)(ii)(y) in respect of such amount. If such repaid refund or credit is thereafter lost, the additional Tax payable shall be treated as Imposition indemnifiable hereunder without regard to the exclusions set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi) (vii), (viii), (ix), (x) of the definition of Impositions.

(z) The Indemnitee will, at Lessee’s expense, pursue refunds and tax benefits that would result in any such payments to Lessee, but only if the Indemnitee has been notified in writing by Lessee that such refunds or tax benefits are available.

(d) Reports. In the case of any report, return or statement required to be filed with respect to any Impositions that are subject to indemnification under this Section 11.2 and of which Lessee or the Indemnitee has knowledge, the party having such knowledge shall promptly notify the other of such requirement and, at Lessee’s expense (i) if Lessee is permitted (unless otherwise requested by the Indemnitee) by Applicable Laws and Regulations, timely file such report, return or statement in its own name or (ii) if such report, return or statement is required to be in the name of or filed by such Indemnitee or the Indemnitee otherwise requests that such report, return or statement be filed in the name of or by such Indemnitee, Lessee shall prepare such report, return or statement for filing by such Indemnitee in such manner as shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee and send the same to the Indemnitee for filing no later than 15 days prior to the due date therefor. In any case in which the Indemnitee will file any such report, return or statement, Lessee shall, upon written request of such Indemnitee, provide such Indemnitee with such information as is reasonably necessary to allow the Indemnitee to file such report, return or statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall not be required to prepare or file any income tax return or franchise tax return of any Indemnitee.

Section 11.3. Withholding Taxes. (a) (x) Agent shall withhold any Taxes required by Applicable Laws and Regulations to be withheld on any payment to Lessor or any Assignee, except to the extent that Lessor or such Assignee has furnished to Agent the information set forth in Section 11.3(a)(y) entitling such Person to an exemption from withholding Taxes. Except to the extent set forth in Section 11.6, the amount payable to Lessor or any Assignee shall be reduced by the amount of any withholding Taxes required to be withheld by Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence and Lessee and Agent shall have no liability or obligation to Lessor or such Assignee with respect to any such withholding Taxes, except to the extent that the Agent is required to withhold such

-57-

withholding Taxes as the result of a change in Applicable Laws and Regulations (only if such change in Applicable Laws and Regulations occurs after Lessor or the relevant Assignee has become a party to this Lease or the Lessor Assignment Agreement, as applicable), in which case Lessee shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent (without duplication of any indemnification required in Section 11.2(a)) on a Grossed-Up Basis against, any claims regarding such withholding taxes made against the Agent, to the extent, but only to the extent, Agent has actually paid funds to a taxing authority with respect to such withholding Taxes or receives a demand for such payments from any taxing authority. In accepting and carrying out its duties with respect to withholding Taxes pursuant to this Section 11.3, Agent shall act as the duly authorized agent of Lessee to act on behalf of Lessee under the withholding provisions of Chapter 3 of the Code. Lessee shall file notice of such appointment with the Director of Foreign Operations District of Internal Revenue Service in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.1441-7(b). Such agency shall terminate in the event that Applicable Laws and Regulations are amended so as to release Lessee of the obligation to withhold Taxes with respect to payments made by Lessee to Agent under this Lease and in any event upon termination or expiration of this Lease.

(y) Lessor and each Assignee (whether now or hereafter a party to this Lease or the Lessor Assignment Agreement, as applicable) that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall: (1) deliver to Lessee and Agent (A) two (2) duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, and (B) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 or successor applicable form; (2) deliver to Lessee and Agent after written request therefor two (2) further copies of such forms or other appropriate certification of such forms on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to Lessee and Agent; and (3) obtain such extensions of time for filing and renew such forms and certifications thereof as may reasonably be requested in writing by Lessee, unless any Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery otherwise would be required which renders any such form inapplicable or which would prevent Lessor or such Assignee from duly completing and delivering any such forms and Lessor or such Assignee so advises the Lessee and the Agent.

(b) If and to the extent (A) Agent has in good faith attempted to comply with its obligation to withhold Taxes in accordance with clause (a) and (B) Lessor and each Assignee to which Section 11.3(a)(y) applies has complied therewith, and a claim regarding withholding Taxes is made against Agent, as between Lessee and Agent, Lessee shall be responsible for, and Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent (without duplication of any indemnification required by Section 11.2(a)) on a Grossed-Up Basis against, such claim to the extent, but only to the extent, Agent has actually paid funds to a taxing authority with respect to such withholding taxes or receives a demand for such payment from any taxing authority.

(c) Except with respect to withholding Taxes payable by Lessee pursuant to Section 11.4, Lessor and each Assignee agrees to reimburse Agent for any withholding Taxes for which Agent becomes liable and to reimburse Lessee for any Taxes or other amounts paid by Lessee pursuant to clause (b) hereof.

-58-

(d) For purposes of determining whether withholding Taxes apply to payments under this Lease, it shall be assumed that this Lease constitutes a loan for United States Federal income tax purposes (as is the intention of the parties).

Section 11.4. Increased Costs. (a) If on or after the Delivery Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof (each such event being a “Change in Law”) by any Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lessor or any Assignee with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i) shall subject Lessor or such Assignee to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its investment made hereunder or under the Lessor Assignment Agreement, as applicable, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to Lessor or such Assignee of Rent or any other amounts due under the Operative Documents in respect of its investment hereunder (or under the Lessor Assignment Agreement, as applicable (except for (A) franchise taxes, taxes or other charges related to the general authority of Lessor or such Assignee to do business or taxes on the overall income of Lessor or such Assignee imposed by the jurisdiction where Lessor or such Assignee is incorporated (or any political subdivision thereof) or where it is managed or controlled, or (B) withholding taxes imposed under the laws of any jurisdiction); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding, with respect to any funding by Lessor or such Assignee made hereunder or under the Lessor Assignment Agreement, as applicable, which is determined on a LIBO Rate basis, any such requirement with respect to which Lessor or such Assignee is entitled to compensation pursuant to clause (d) below), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lessor or such Assignee or shall impose on Lessor or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting the investment of Lessor or such Assignee made hereunder or under the Lessor Assignment Agreement, as applicable;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lessor or such Assignee of making or maintaining its investment made hereunder or under the Lessor Assignment Agreement, as applicable, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lessor or such Assignee under this Lease or under the Lessor Assignment Agreement, as applicable, by an amount deemed by Lessor or such Assignee to be material, then, within 15 days after reasonably detailed written demand by Lessor or such Assignee (with a copy to Agent), Lessee shall pay to Lessor or such Assignee, as applicable, as Supplemental Rent, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lessor or such Assignee for such increased cost or reduction; provided, however, that Lessee shall have no obligation to make any payment to any demanding party under this Section on account of any such increased costs unless Lessee

-59-

receives notice of such increased costs from the demanding party within twelve (12) months after they are incurred or realized.

(b) IF LESSOR OR ANY ASSIGNEE SHALL HAVE DETERMINED THAT ANY APPLICABLE LAW, RULE, GUIDELINE OR REGULATION REGARDING CAPITAL ADEQUACY, OR ANY CHANGE THEREIN, OR ANY CHANGE IN THE INTERPRETATION OR ADMINISTRATION THEREOF BY ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY, CENTRAL BANK OR COMPARABLE AGENCY CHARGED WITH THE INTERPRETATION OR ADMINISTRATION THEREOF, OR ANY REQUEST OR DIRECTIVE REGARDING CAPITAL ADEQUACY (WHETHER OR NOT HAVING THE FORCE OF LAW) OF ANY SUCH AUTHORITY, CENTRAL BANK OR COMPARABLE AGENCY (A “REGULATORY REQUIREMENT”), HAS OR WOULD HAVE THE EFFECT OF REDUCING THE RATE OF RETURN ON CAPITAL OF LESSOR (OR ITS PARENT) OR SUCH ASSIGNEE AS A CONSEQUENCE OF LESSOR’S OR SUCH ASSIGNEE’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS TO A LEVEL BELOW THAT WHICH LESSOR (OR ITS PARENT) OR SUCH ASSIGNEE COULD HAVE ACHIEVED BUT FOR SUCH REGULATORY REQUIREMENT (TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION ITS POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO CAPITAL ADEQUACY) BY AN AMOUNT DEEMED BY LESSOR OR SUCH ASSIGNEE TO BE MATERIAL, THEN FROM TIME TO TIME, WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER REASONABLY DETAILED WRITTEN DEMAND BY LESSOR OR SUCH ASSIGNEE (WITH A COPY TO AGENT), LESSEE SHALL PAY TO LESSOR OR SUCH ASSIGNEE, AS SUPPLEMENTAL RENT, SUCH ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OR AMOUNTS AS WILL COMPENSATE LESSOR (OR ITS PARENT) OR SUCH ASSIGNEE FOR THE PORTION OF ANY SUCH REDUCTION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT LESSEE SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO MAKE ANY PAYMENT TO LESSOR OR ANY ASSIGNEE UNDER THIS SECTION ON ACCOUNT OF ANY SUCH INCREASED COSTS UNLESS LESSEE RECEIVES NOTICE OF SUCH INCREASED COSTS FROM LESSOR OR SUCH ASSIGNEE WITHIN TWELVE (12) MONTHS AFTER THEY ARE INCURRED OR REALIZED.

(c) Lessor and each Assignee will promptly notify Lessee and Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle Lessor or such Assignee to compensation pursuant to this Section 11.4 and will use reasonable commercial efforts to avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation if, in the reasonable judgment of Lessor or such Assignee, such efforts would not result in any economic or regulatory disadvantage to Lessor or such Assignee or be contrary to Lessor’s or such Assignee’s normal banking procedures. A certificate of Lessor or any Assignee claiming compensation under this Section 11.4 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, accompanied by a computation in reasonable detail of such amount or amounts, shall be conclusive if prepared in good faith and on a reasonable basis. In determining such amount, Lessor and such Assignee may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d) For so long as Lessor or any Assignee shall be required pursuant to the requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including “Eurocurrency liabilities” (or any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the rate on the investment of Lessor or such Assignee made hereunder or under the Lessor Assignment Agreement, as applicable, on which is determined on a LIBO Rate basis, is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of Lessor or such Assignee to United States residents), then Lessor or such Assignee may require Lessee to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of Basic Rent, additional yield on the investment of

-60-

Lessor or such Assignee made hereunder or under the Lessor Assignment Agreement, as applicable, at a rate per annum determined by Lessor or such Assignee up to but not exceeding the excess of (a)(i) the applicable LIBO Rate divided by (ii) one minus the LIBOR Reserve Percentage over (b) the applicable LIBO Rate. If Lessor or any Assignee wishes to require payment of such additional yield, Lessor or such Assignee (x) shall so notify Lessee and Agent in a reasonably detailed, written notice, in which case such additional yield on the investment of Lessor or such Assignee made hereunder or under the Lessor Assignment Agreement, as applicable, shall be payable to Lessor or such Assignee at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Rent Period commencing at least four Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y) shall notify Lessee at least four Business Days prior to each date on which yield is payable on such investment of the amount then due it under this clause.

Section 11.5. Funding Losses. Lessee shall pay to Lessor and each Assignee, as applicable, as Supplemental Rent, such amounts as may be necessary to reimburse Lessor or such Assignee for any loss or expense incurred (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by Lessor or such Assignee to make, continue or maintain any portion of its investment hereunder or under the Lessor Assignment Agreement, as applicable, on a LIBO Rate basis) as a result of any (i) payment of all or any portion of the Lease Balance for any reason on a date other than a Payment Date, including, without limitation, by reason of acceleration, or (ii) the failure of the transaction contemplated by Article II to occur on the Delivery Date if Lessee has delivered the Delivery Date Notice and such failure is the result of any action or inaction by Lessee (the amount of such loss or expense, the “Break Funding Amount”). Lessor and each Assignee shall promptly notify Lessee and Agent in writing of the amount of any claim under this Section 11.5, the reason or reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate Lessor or such Assignee for such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Lessee.

Section 11.6. Gross Up. With respect to any payment to be received under any other provision of this Article XI, the amount of such payment shall be increased to an amount such that after deduction of the amount of all Taxes and impositions required to be paid by the recipient of such payment (including any Taxes otherwise excluded from the definition of Impositions hereunder) is equal to the payment otherwise required to be made hereunder (net of any Tax savings then actually realized by such Indemnitee with respect to any payment that is the subject of indemnification) (“Grossed-Up Basis”).

Section 11.7. Nonconformance Indemnity. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article XI, in the event that (a) Lessee elects the Sale Option, and (b) after paying to Lessor, any amounts due under Article XV hereof, the Lease Balance shall not have been reduced to zero, then the Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a report from an appraiser selected by it (at the direction of the Agent) and approved by the Lessee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and using methods reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. In the event that the above-described appraisal establishes that (x) the actual Fair Market Value of the

-61-

Items of Equipment as of the Lease Expiration Date is less than the Fair Market Value of the items of Equipment anticipated for such date in the Appraisal delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(g), and (y) the reason for the actual Fair Market Value of the Items of Equipment as of the Lease Expiration Date being less than the Fair Market Value anticipated for such date in the Appraisal delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(g) was due, in whole or in part, to any of the following events, circumstances or conditions, whether or not permitted hereunder: (i) the failure to maintain the Items of Equipment as required by the Lease and the other Operative Documents (including the failure to comply with all Environmental Laws), and in at least as good a condition as it was in on the Delivery Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted; (ii) the carrying out of any modifications, improvements or alterations or the failure to undertake, in accordance with Section 15.4(b), any modifications, improvements or alterations; (iii) excessive use of any Item of Equipment; or (iv) any defect, exception, restriction or other encumbrance on or title to the Items of Equipment arising after the Delivery Date, then Lessee shall promptly pay over to Lessor on the Lease Expiration Date the lesser of (1) the outstanding Lease Balance and (2) the amount of the shortfall between the Fair Market Value of the Items of Equipment as of the Lease Expiration Date and the Fair Market Value anticipated for such date in the Appraisal delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(g) demonstrated in the report of the appraiser described above to be attributable to any of the events or circumstances described in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 11.7.

Section 11.8. Payment of Indemnities. Unless the Operative Documents provide otherwise, any payment of Supplemental Rent constituting indemnity payments shall be due and payable within ten days of demand and compliance by the Lessor and Agent with any notice or other requirements, if any, they are to satisfy in accordance with the provision that gives rise to the indemnity obligation.

Section 12.2. Remedies.

Lessor shall provide written notice of such appointment to Lessee. If any Lease Event of Default exists, Agent or Lessor shall have the rights, options and remedies set forth below and Agent or Lessor may exercise in any order one or more or all of the following remedies, to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws and Regulations (it being understood that no remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute): (i) declare the entire outstanding Lease Balance to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid Rent and any other amounts payable under the Operative Documents (without double counting); (ii) proceed by appropriate court action or actions either at law or in equity, to enforce the declaration of the amounts described in clause (i) above, the performance by Lessee of the applicable covenants of this Lease and the other Operative Documents (including but not limited to Section 14.2 hereof) or to recover damages for the breach thereof; (iii) terminate this Lease by notice in writing to Lessee, but Lessee shall remain liable as hereinafter provided; (iv) enforce the Lien given hereunder pursuant to the UCC or any other law; (v) enter upon the premises where any of the Lessee Collateral may be and take possession of all or any of such Lessee Collateral and exercise any of its rights with respect thereto; (vi) require Lessee to assemble and return each Item of Equipment as provided below; and (vii) avail itself of the rights, options and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC or a law similar thereto has been enacted in a jurisdiction wherein the rights or remedies are asserted) or any other law.

(b) (i) If Agent or Lessor exercises the option set forth in clause (a)(vi) above, Lessee shall, at its own expense, (i) forthwith deliver (to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws and Regulations) exclusive possession of such Items of Equipment to Agent or Lessor, as

-65-

applicable, at a location or locations designated by Lessor in the 48 contiguous United States, together with a copy of an inventory list of such Items of Equipment then subject to this Lease, all then current plans, specifications and operating, maintenance and repair manuals in the possession of Lessee and its Affiliates and relating to such Items of Equipment that have been received or prepared by Lessee, appropriately protected and in the condition required by Article VIII hereof (and in any event in condition to be placed in immediate revenue service) and free and clear of all Liens other than Lessor Liens and (ii) otherwise comply with the provisions of clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 15.4(b). In addition, Lessee shall, for 180 days after redelivery of such Items of Equipment, at Lessee’s expense, (i) maintain (or cause to be maintained) such Items of Equipment in the condition required by Article VIII and free and clear of all Liens other than Lessor Liens, (ii) store such Items of Equipment in accordance with all manufacturer’s recommendations, and (iii) keep all of such Items of Equipment insured in accordance with Section 9.2. This paragraph shall survive termination of this Lease.

(ii) Upon acceleration of the Lease Balance, the Lessor and each Series A Assignee, as applicable, shall have the rights and remedies with respect to the Series A Cash Collateral, Series C Cash Collateral and Lessor’s Interest Related Cash Collateral, as applicable, as set forth in the Lessor Assignment Agreement, Cash Collateral Agreement and the Control Agreements.

(c) Following the foreclosure of Lessee’s interest in the Equipment and the other Lessee Collateral, Lessee shall take such action as Lessor or Agent shall reasonably request in order to notify each sublessee of any Item of Equipment of such foreclosure and the succession of Agent, Lessor or its designee to ownership and operation thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lease Event of Default described in Section 12.1(e) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing, then the entire outstanding Lease Balance and all accrued and unpaid Rent and other amounts payable under the Operative Documents (without double counting) shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, without presentment, demand, notice, declaration, protest or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

Section 12.3. Sale of Equipment. In addition to the remedies set forth in Section 12.2, if any Lease Event of Default shall occur Agent or Lessor may, but are not required to, sell the Equipment or any portion thereof in one or more sales. Lessor or Agent may purchase all or any part of the Equipment at such sale. Lessee acknowledges that sales for cash or on credit to a wholesaler, retailer or user of such Equipment, or at public or private auction, are all commercially reasonable. Any notice required by law of intended disposition by Lessor or Agent shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if given at least 10 days before such disposition.

Section 12.4. Application of Proceeds. All payments received and amounts held or realized by Agent at any time when a Lease Event of Default shall be continuing as well as all payments or amounts then held or thereafter received by Agent and the proceeds of sale pursuant to Section 12.3 shall be distributed upon receipt by Lessor for distribution in accordance with Article XXI hereof.

-66-

Section 12.5. Power of Attorney. Lessee unconditionally and irrevocably appoints Lessor and Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Regulations, in its name and stead and on its behalf, solely for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or delivery under this Article XII, if a Lease Event of Default occurs and is continuing, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or otherwise, and in connection therewith and during a Lease Event of Default, to execute and deliver all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, releases (including releases of this Lease on the records of any Governmental Authority) and other proper instruments as Lessor may reasonably consider necessary or appropriate. Lessee ratifies and confirms all that such attorney or any substitute shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. If requested by Lessor, Agent or any purchaser, Lessee shall ratify and confirm any lawful sale, assignment, transfer or delivery by executing and delivering to Lessor, Agent or such purchaser, all deeds, bills of sale, assignments, releases and other proper instruments to effect such ratification and confirmation as may be designated in any such request.

Section 12.6. Remedies Cumulative; Consents. To the extent permitted by, and subject to the mandatory requirements of, Applicable Laws and Regulations, each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to Lessor and Agent or otherwise in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Lessor or Agent, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any right, power or remedy. Lessor’s or Agent’s consent to any request made by Lessee shall not be deemed to constitute or preclude the necessity for obtaining Lessor’s or Agent’s consent in the future to all similar requests. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Regulations, Lessee hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise that may require Lessor or Agent to sell, lease or otherwise use the Equipment, any Item of Equipment or any Part thereof in mitigation of Lessor’s or Agent’s damages upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default or that may otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor’s or Agent’s rights or remedies under this Article XII.

ARTICLE XIII

RIGHT TO CURE

If any Lease Event of Default shall be continuing and in Agent’s reasonably exercised judgment Lessee is not acting diligently and appropriately to cure such Lease Event of Default, Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to, on five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Lessee (except in the event of an emergency, in which case only one Business Day’s prior notice shall be required), pay or perform the obligation giving rise to such Lease Event of Default, and neither Agent nor Lessor shall thereby be deemed to have waived any default caused by such failure to cure, and the amount of such payment and the amount of the expenses of Lessor and Agent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such

-67-

payment or performance (to the extent notice has been given with respect thereto), together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate, shall be deemed Supplemental Rent, payable by Lessee to Agent within five (5) Business Days after demand and delivery to Lessee of such notice.

ARTICLE XIV

EARLY TERMINATION OPTION AND OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE

Section 14.1. Early Termination Option. (a) Subject to the first sentence of Section 15.2 and the limitations contained in Section 14.1(b), on any day (the “Early Termination Payment Date”) after the Delivery Date and so long as Lessee has not delivered written notice that it intends to exercise the Sale Option, Lessee may, at its option, upon at least 30 days advance written notice to Agent and Lessor, purchase one or more Items of Equipment for a purchase price equal to the Early Termination Purchase Amount plus any Break Funding Amounts, if any (the “Early Termination Option”). Upon the payment of the Early Termination Purchase Amount by Lessee in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence, Lessor shall execute and deliver to Lessee such documents as may be reasonably requested to release or evidence the release of the Item or Items of Equipment subject to the Early Termination Option from the terms and scope of this Lease and the other Operative Documents (without representations or warranties, except that the Items of Equipment are free and clear of Lessor Liens attributable to Lessor), in such form as may be reasonably requested by Lessee, all at Lessee’s sole cost and expense.

If Lessee has elected the Early Termination Option with respect to one or more Items of Equipment, Lessee shall continue to make all payments of Rent due under this Lease until and including the Early Termination Payment Date. Upon payment of the Early Termination Purchase Amount in respect of such Items of Equipment together with all Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent then due and owing, the remaining scheduled Basic Rent payments under this Lease shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the scheduled amount of each such remaining Basic Rent payment (determined in each case prior to the receipt of such Early Termination Purchase Amount), multiplied by the Item Value Fraction of the Item or Items of Equipment subject to such early termination. In the event Lessee shall elect the Early Termination Option with respect to all of the Items of Equipment, the obligation of Lessee to pay Rent hereunder shall cease and the term of this Lease shall end on the date of such payment.

(b) Lessee shall not be entitled to elect the Early Termination Option with respect to less than all of the Items of Equipment then subject to this Lease unless:

(i) after giving effect to such Early Termination Option and all Early Termination Options previously exercised by Lessee, the aggregate Early Termination Purchase Amount paid with respect to Items of Equipment during the Lease term shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate Purchase Price of all Items of Equipment as of the Delivery Date; and

-68-

(ii) the Lessee shall have delivered an appraisal at Lessee’s sole expense to the Agent which is reasonably satisfactory in scope and form to the Agent (which has been prepared by an appraiser selected by the Agent and approved by Lessee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld)) that confirms that, after giving effect to such Early Termination Option, the End of Term Value Ratio of the Items of Equipment remaining subject to this Lease is not less than the End of Term Value Ratio of all Items of Equipment originally subject to this Lease (as set forth in the Appraisal).

Section 14.2. Required Purchase. So long as Agent or Lessor has not exercised any other remedy inconsistent therewith, Lessee shall be obligated to purchase all of the Items of Equipment for the Purchase Amount automatically and without notice upon the occurrence of any Lease Event of Default described in clause (e)(vi) or (f) of Section 12.1 and, within five (5) Business Days after notice from Agent or Lessor, upon the occurrence of any other Lease Event of Default, and upon receipt of the Purchase Amount, the Items of Equipment shall be transferred to Lessee as set forth in the last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 14.1(a).

ARTICLE XV

LEASE TERMINATION

Section 15.1. Lessee’s Options. Not later than 360 days nor earlier than 390 days in the case of the Sale Option or not later than 120 days nor earlier than 150 days in the case of the Purchase Option prior to the last day of the Lease Term, Lessee shall, by delivery of written notice to Agent and the Lessor, exercise one of the following options:

(a) Subject to Section 15.2, including, without limitation, the first sentence thereof, purchase for cash for the Purchase Amount all, but not less than all, of the Items of Equipment then subject to this Lease on the last day of the Lease Term (the “Purchase Option”); and if Lessee shall have elected to purchase the Items of Equipment, Lessor shall, upon the payment to Agent of the Purchase Amount then due and payable by Lessee under the Operative Documents, transfer all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Items of Equipment “as-is” without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of Lessor Liens); or

(b) Subject to Section 15.2, including, without limitation, the first sentence thereof, sell as non-exclusive agent, on behalf of Lessor, for cash to a purchaser or purchasers all, but not less than all, of the Items of Equipment then subject to this Lease on the last day of the Lease Term (the “Sale Option”). Lessee’s right to sell the Items of Equipment pursuant to the Sale Option shall be conditioned upon and subject to the fulfillment by Lessee of each of the terms and conditions set forth in this Article XV. Simultaneously with a sale on or prior to the last day of the Lease Term pursuant to the Sale Option, Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid to Agent, (i) the Sale Recourse Amount, (ii) the gross proceeds of the sale of the Equipment, without deductions or expense reimbursements (the “Sale Proceeds”), and (iii) all accrued and unpaid Rent and

-69-

all other amounts due under the Operative Documents and, if such sale occurs prior to the last day of the Lease Term, all Capital Rent not previously paid by Lessee and which would have become due under the Operative Documents on or before the last day of the Lease Term. If the amounts received by the Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence exceed the aggregate outstanding Lease Balance and all other amounts due and owing by Lessee under the Operative Documents, Agent will pay to Lessee such excess amount. The amount payable pursuant to this Section 15.1(b) shall in no event be construed to limit any other obligation of Lessee under the Operative Documents, including, without limitation, pursuant to Article XI. All amounts paid to Agent pursuant to this Section 15.1(b) shall be distributed in accordance with Article XXI hereof.

Section 15.2. Election of Options. The Early Termination Option and end of term option elected by Lessee under (i) Section 14.1(a), but solely with respect to the purchase of all, but not less than all, of the Equipment and (ii) Section 15.1 of this Lease, respectively, must be the same as the option elected (or deemed to be elected) by Lessee under the corresponding section of the Lease A. Lessee’s election (or deemed election) of the Purchase Option shall be irrevocable at the time when made by Lessee. In the event Lessee fails to make a timely election under Section 15.1 hereof, Lessee shall be deemed to have elected the Purchase Option. Lessee may not elect the Sale Option if there exists on the date the election is made a Lease Default or a Lease Event of Default. In addition, the Sale Option shall automatically be revoked if there exists a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default at any time after the Sale Option is properly elected (whether or not such Lease Default or Lease Event of Default is cured) or Lessee fails to comply with each of the other terms and conditions set forth in this Article XV, in which case Lessee shall be required to purchase on the last day of the Lease Term all of the Items of Equipment pursuant to the Purchase Option and Lessor shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies provided in Article XII.

Section 15.3. [Reserved].

Section 15.4. Sale Option Procedures. (a) If Lessee elects the Sale Option, Lessee shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to obtain the highest all cash purchase price for the Items of Equipment. All costs related to such sale and delivery (including during the Extended Remarketing Period), including, without limitation, the cost of sales agents, removal of the Items of Equipment, delivery of documents and the Items of Equipment to any location designated by a buyer or prospective buyer, legal costs, costs of notices, commissions, escrow fees, filing fees, appraisal fees, license fees, transfer taxes, any advertisement or other similar costs, or other information and of any parts, configurations, repairs or modifications desired by a buyer or prospective buyer, re-installation of the Items of Equipment in the manner and at the location or locations required by a buyer, the cost of storage and insurance during the Extended Remarketing Period as provided in Section 15.6(b) and the costs associated with the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 15.4(b) below shall, except as provided in the following provisos, be borne entirely by Lessee, without regard to whether such costs were incurred by Lessor, Lessee or any potentially qualified buyer, and shall in no event be paid from the Sale Proceeds for the benefit of Lessee; provided, that Lessee shall in no event be liable for costs (other than de-installation costs, which shall in all cases be borne by Lessee) described in this clause (a) which, in aggregate, exceed

-70-

$4,535,000; provided, further that in the event that Lessor pays any of the costs described in this clause (a) (other than de-installation costs, which shall in all cases be borne by Lessee) as a result of such costs (other than de-installation costs, which shall in all cases be borne by Lessee) aggregating in excess of $4,535,000, Lessor shall be entitled to reimbursement of such payments from the Sale Proceeds prior to the Agent returning any excess Sale Proceeds to the Lessee pursuant to Section 15.1(b), but in no event shall Lessor be entitled to make any claim against Lessee under Article XI for reimbursement or indemnification of such payments made by Lessor. Neither Agent nor Lessor shall have any responsibility for procuring any purchaser. If, nevertheless, Agent or Lessor undertakes any sales efforts, Lessee shall, subject to the preceding sentence, promptly reimburse Agent and/or Lessor for any charges, costs and expenses incurred in such effort, including any allocated time charges, costs and expenses of internal counsel or other attorneys’ fees. Upon a sale pursuant to the Sale Option, the Items of Equipment shall be in at least the condition required by Section 12.2(b). Any purchaser or purchasers of the Items of Equipment shall not be an Affiliate of Lessee or have any understanding or arrangement with Lessee regarding the future use of the Items of Equipment. On the last day of the Lease Term, so long as no Lease Event of Default or Lease Default exists: (i) Lessee shall transfer all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in the Items of Equipment, or cause the Items of Equipment to be so transferred, to such purchaser or purchasers, if any, in accordance with all of the terms of this Lease; (ii) subject to the simultaneous payment by Lessee of all amounts due under clause (iii) of this sentence, Lessor shall, without recourse or warranty, except as to the absence of Lessor Liens attributable to it, transfer by quitclaim Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Items of Equipment to such purchaser or purchasers; and (iii) Lessee shall simultaneously pay to Lessor all of the amounts contemplated in Section 15.1(b).

(b) The Lessee’s effective exercise and consummation of the Sale Option with respect to the Items of Equipment shall be subject to the due and timely fulfillment of each of the following provisions as to the Items of Equipment as of the dates set forth below:

(i) Lessee shall furnish to Lessor and Agent, on the last day of the Lease Term, a certification from the manufacturer that the Items of Equipment have been calibrated as necessary to be eligible for manufacturer’s maintenance program and have been maintained at or modified to meet the latest available version and/or revision levels (assuming the Equipment has been modified as each such prior modification was introduced) of all hardware and software requirements applicable to the specific model of Equipment as deemed necessary by the manufacturer;

(ii) Lessee shall have the Items of Equipment de-installed, packaged and crated by the manufacturer’s technicians or service providers certified by the manufacturer, and Lessee shall furnish to Lessor and Agent, a certification from the manufacturer’s technicians or service providers certified by the manufacturer that the Items of Equipment are in good condition prior to shipment;

(iii) Lessee shall furnish to Lessor and Agent all applicable and corresponding instruction and service manuals, service and repair records, and descriptive brochures;

-71-

(iv) Lessee shall cause the Items of Equipment to be delivered to any location as selected by the purchaser, in a suitable manner which is specifically designed for the transportation of electronic components and equipment and in a manner consistent with the manufacturer’s recommendations for transporting and packaging the Items of Equipment;

(v) Lessee shall not enter into any additional Subleases or renew any Subleases with respect to the Items of Equipment following Lessee’s election of the Sale Option, and following Lessee’s election of the Sale Option, Lessee shall not remove any Permitted Modifications or commence any voluntary Permitted Modifications under Section 8.4 without the prior written consent of the Agent;

(vi) The Lessee shall submit all bids to the Agent, and the Agent will have the right to review the same and to submit any one or more bids. Agent shall have no obligation to accept a bid that is not on an all-cash basis. Provided that there are all-cash bids at such time, Lessee shall deliver to the Agent not less than ninety (90) days prior to the Lease Expiration Date a binding written unconditional (except as set forth below), irrevocable offer (the “High Bid”) by such purchaser or purchasers offering the highest all-cash bid to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Items of Equipment (unless otherwise agreed to by the Agent). Subject to Agent’s rights in the immediately succeeding sentence, Agent shall accept the High Bid in writing within 20 Business Days of receipt thereof by Agent. If Agent in the exercise of its reasonable judgment believes that the Sale Proceeds to be paid to the Agent from a High Bid which the Lessee desires to accept is less than the lesser of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Items of Equipment or (B) the Purchase Amount, then Agent may condition its obligation to accept the High Bid upon Agent’s receipt of an appraisal demonstrating that the High Bid is for an amount at least equal to the lesser of (1) the Fair Market Value of the Items of Equipment or (2) the Purchase Amount, as established by such appraisal. In such case then Agent shall promptly following the receipt of such High Bid, engage an independent appraiser, reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and Lessee, at Lessee’s expense, to determine (by appraisal methods reasonably satisfactory to the Agent) the Fair Market Value of the Items of Equipment as of the Lease Expiration Date. The selection of the independent appraiser shall be completed within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by Agent of such High Bid. A copy of such appraisal shall be delivered to Agent not later than 20 Business Days after the selection of the independent appraiser. The appraiser will be instructed to assume that the Items of Equipment are in the condition required by and have been maintained in accordance with this Lease. Any such appraisal shall be at the sole cost and expense of Lessee.

(vii) In connection with any such sale of the Items of Equipment, the Lessee will provide to the purchaser all customary “seller’s” indemnities, representations and warranties regarding title, absence of Liens (except Lessor Liens and Liens relating to the interest or rights of Lessee) and the condition of such Items of Equipment. The Lessee shall have obtained, at its cost and expense, all required governmental and regulatory consents and approvals and shall have made all filings as required by Applicable Laws and Regulations in order to carry out and complete the transfer of the Items of

-72-

Equipment. Any agreement as to such sale shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. If the Lessee properly exercises the Sale Option, then the Lessee shall, upon a sale thereunder, and at its own cost, transfer or cause to be transferred possession of the Items of Equipment to the independent purchaser(s) thereof, in each case by surrendering the same into the possession of such purchaser(s), free and clear of all Liens, other than Lessor Liens, and in the condition required by this Lease, and the Lessee shall execute and deliver to such purchaser(s) at the Lessee’s cost and expense a xxxx of sale with respect to the Items of Equipment, warranting that such Items of Equipment are free and clear of all Liens, other than Lessor Liens, together with an assignment, without warranty of any kind, of Lessee’s rights, if any, under any purchase contracts. The Lessee shall, on and within a reasonable time before and up to two years after the Lease Expiration Date, cooperate reasonably with the Agent, Lessor and the purchaser(s) of the Items of Equipment in order to facilitate the purchase and use by such purchaser(s) of the Items of Equipment, which cooperation shall include the following, all of which the Lessee shall do on or before the Lease Expiration Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable: providing reasonable access to all books and records regarding the maintenance, use and ownership of the Items of Equipment and all know-how, data and technical information regarding the use and maintenance of the Equipment thereto, granting or assigning all licenses necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Items of Equipment, and cooperating reasonably in seeking and obtaining all necessary Governmental Action. The obligations of the Lessee under this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

(ix) The Lessee shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Regulations, assign, and shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Lessor, Agent or the purchaser for obtaining any and all licenses, permits, approvals and consents of any Governmental Authorities or other Persons that are or will be required to be obtained by the Lessor, Agent or such purchaser in connection with its use, operation, control or maintenance of the Items of Equipment in compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations.

Except as expressly set forth herein, the Lessee shall have no right, power or authority to bind the Lessor or Agent in connection with any proposed sale of the Items of Equipment.

Section 15.5. Certain Obligations Continue. During the period following Lessee’s exercise of the Sale Option and until and including the Lease Expiration Date, the obligation of the Lessee under the Lease, including, without limitation, the obligation of Lessee to pay Rent with respect to the Items of Equipment (including the installment of Rent due on the Lease Expiration Date), shall continue undiminished. The Lessor shall have the right, but shall be under no duty, to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of the Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise to take action in connection with any such sale, other than as expressly provided in this Article XV.

Section 15.6. Failure to Sell Items of Equipment. If Lessee shall exercise the Sale Option and shall fail to sell the Items of Equipment on the Lease Expiration Date in accordance with Section 15.1(b) and subject

-73-

to the provisions of Section 15.4 (other than as a result of Lessee’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 15.1(b) or 15.4, in which case, the last sentence of Section 15.2 shall be operative), then Lessee and Lessor hereby agree as follows:

(a) Lessee shall continue to use reasonable commercial efforts as non-exclusive agent for Lessor to sell the Items of Equipment on behalf of Lessor in accordance with this Section 15.6 for the period (the “Extended Remarketing Period”) commencing on the Lease Expiration Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the sale of the Items of Equipment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15.6 or such earlier date as Lessor has received payment in full of the Lease Balance and all accrued and unpaid Rent and (ii) the delivery of a written notice from Lessor to Lessee at any time terminating the Extended Remarketing Period, which notice shall indicate that such termination is being made pursuant to this Section 15.6(a)(ii) and the date such termination shall be effective, which date shall be the Lease Expiration Date if such notice is given prior to the Lease Expiration Date. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the conditions contained in this Article XV shall be applicable to the Extended Remarketing Period and any sale during such period. Lessor’s appointment of Lessee as Lessor’s nonexclusive agent to use its reasonable commercial efforts to obtain the highest all-cash price for the purchase of the Items of Equipment shall not restrict Lessor’s or Agent’s right to market or lease the Items of Equipment, to retain one or more sales agents or brokers at Lessee’s sole cost and expense.

(b) On the Lease Expiration Date, Lessee shall (i) pay to Lessor the Sale Recourse Amount and all other Rent due and owing hereunder and (ii) at Lessor’s request either (A) return possession of the Items of Equipment to Lessor in accordance with Section 15.4(b) and in the condition required by this Lease or (B) de-install, package and crate the Equipment in accordance with Section 15.4(b) of the Lease and insure and store the Equipment in accordance with all manufacturer’s recommendations and this Lease for the Extended Remarketing Period; provided that such insurance and storage shall be at Lessee’s expense for only the first 180 days of the Extended Remarketing Period. Thereafter, this Lease shall terminate except as provided herein and Lessee shall have no further obligation to pay Rent. Following the Lease Expiration Date, Lessor shall be free to sell or lease the Items of Equipment to any party at such reasonable times and for such amounts as Lessor deems commercially reasonable and appropriate in order to maximize Lessor’s opportunity to recover the Lease Balance. Following the Lease Expiration Date, Lessor shall have the right to enter into leases for the Items of Equipment at fair market rentals and otherwise on commercially reasonable terms, and the net operating cash flow therefrom shall be payable to Agent in reduction of the Lease Balance and Supplemental Rent due and owing under the Operative Documents.

(c) Lessor reserves all rights under this Lease and the other Operative Documents arising out of Lessee’s breach of any provisions of this Lease (including this Article XV), occurring prior to or on the Lease Expiration Date, including the right to xxx Lessee for damages.

-74-

(d) To the greatest extent permitted by law and subject to Section 15.6(e) below, Lessee hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, and releases Lessor and Agent from, any right to require Lessor or Agent during or following the Extended Remarketing Period to sell the Items of Equipment in a timely manner or for any minimum purchase price or on any particular terms and conditions, Lessee hereby agreeing that if Lessee shall elect the Sale Option, its ability to sell the Items of Equipment on or prior to the Lease Expiration Date and to cause any Person to submit a bid to Lessor pursuant to Section 15.4 shall constitute full and complete protection of Lessee’s interest hereunder.

(e) In addition, if Lessor has not sold the Items of Equipment within two (2) years after its termination of the Extended Remarketing Period, Agent shall appoint a qualified independent sales agent to sell the Items of Equipment pursuant to the first bona fide offer received by a creditworthy offeror for an all-cash purchase price at the then Fair Market Value of the Items of Equipment to the extent the conditions therefor are satisfied. Any proceeds resulting from the operation of this Section 15.6 shall be applied net of sale costs, commissions and property maintenance costs. To determine whether an offer is for the Fair Market Value of the Items of Equipment, Lessor may condition its obligation to sell on its receipt of an appraisal in accordance with Section 15.4(b)(vi). Any determination as to the bona fide nature of an offer or creditworthiness of the offeror shall be made in the reasonable judgment of Agent.

(f) If a sale of Items of Equipment occurs during the Extended Remarketing Period (i) the Lessor shall be entitled to the Sale Proceeds for such Items of Equipment in an amount not to exceed the outstanding Lease Balance and all other amounts due and owing under the Operative Documents and any such excess shall be for the benefit of Lessee and (ii) Lessee shall comply with the provisions of this Article XV including, but not limited to, Section 15.4.

ARTICLE XVI

OWNERSHIP AND GRANT OF LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST

Section 16.1. Grant of Lien and Security Interest. Title to the Items of Equipment shall remain in Lessor as security for the obligations of Lessee hereunder and under the other Operative Documents to which it is a party until Lessee has fulfilled all of its obligations hereunder and thereunder. Lessee hereby grants, assigns, hypothecates, transfers and pledges to Lessor, a lien and security interest on all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to, whether now or hereafter existing, each Item of Equipment and in each Sublease covering any Item of Equipment that may be entered into from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, and Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a continuing lien on, and security interest in, and assigns to Lessor all of Lessee’s rights, title and interest in all of the other Lessee Collateral, to secure the payment of all sums due hereunder and under the other Operative Documents to which it is a party and the performance of all other obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Documents to which it is a party; provided,

-75-

however, that the lien on, and security interest in, the portion of the Lessee Collateral which constitutes Cash Collateral will not secure any obligations of the Lessee under the Operative Documents with respect to the Series B Lease Balance or any amounts due and owing with respect to such Series B Lease Balance or to the Series B Assignees, if any. Lessee also hereby authorizes Lessor and Agent to file UCC financing statements on and after the Delivery Date to the extent necessary to perfect such security interests granted pursuant to the Operative Documents that may be perfected under the UCC through such filings. Further, Lessee hereby assigns to Lessor all of its rights under any and all purchase contracts relating to each Item of Equipment.

Section 16.2. Retention of Sale Proceeds. If Lessee would be entitled to any amount (including any Casualty Recoveries) held by Agent or title to any Item of Equipment hereunder but for the existence of any Material Lease Default or Lease Event of Default, Agent shall hold such amount or Item of Equipment as part of the Lessee Collateral and during a Lease Event of Default shall be entitled to apply such amounts against any amounts due hereunder; provided, that Agent shall distribute such amount or transfer such Item of Equipment, to the extent not theretofore applied, in accordance with the other terms of this Lease if and when no Material Lease Default or Lease Event of Default exists.

Section 16.3. State of Incorporation. Lessee shall not change its state of incorporation unless Lessee has given Agent not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice and Lessee has executed and filed such UCC financing statements as Agent may reasonably request during such thirty day period to protect the security interests of Lessor granted by the Operative Documents.

ARTICLE XVII

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 17.1. Representations and Warranties of Lessee. As of the date hereof, Lessee makes the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 17.1 to Agent and Lessor.

(a) Organization and Powers. Each of Lessee and its Significant Subsidiaries is a corporation or partnership duly organized or formed, as the case may be, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure so to qualify or be in good standing would result in a Material Adverse Effect and has all requisite power and authority to own its assets and carry on its business and, with respect to Lessee, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Operative Documents to which it is a party.

(b) Authorization: No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by Lessee of the Operative Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of Lessee and do not and will not (i) contravene the terms of the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of Lessee or result in a breach of or constitute a material default

-76-

under any material Contractual Obligation to which Lessee is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected; or (ii) violate in any material respect any provision of any Governmental Rule binding on or affecting Lessee.

(c) Binding Obligation. The Operative Documents to which Lessee is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Lessee, enforceable against Lessee in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent the enforceability thereof would be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar laws providing relief from creditors, or principles of equity generally.

(d) Governmental Consents. No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of, or filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority, or approval or consent of any other Person, is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by Lessee of any of the Operative Documents, except those set forth on Schedule 17.1(d) which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect.

(e) No Defaults. Neither Lessee nor any of its Significant Subsidiaries is in default under any Governmental Rule to which it is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound which, individually or together with all such defaults, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Title to Properties. (i) Lessee has good record and marketable title in fee simple to the real property on which the Equipment is to be located and, as of the date hereof, there are no existing mortgages, deeds of trust or other similar liens encumbering the real property and (ii) Lessee and each Significant Subsidiary has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, all other real property necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses, except, in each case, for such defects in title as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The property of Lessee and its Significant Subsidiaries is subject to no Encumbrances, other than Encumbrances permitted under Section 18.2(a).

(g) Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of Lessee’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Lessee or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or the properties of Lessee or any of its Significant Subsidiaries before any Governmental Authority or arbitrator which is likely to be determined adversely to Lessee or any such Significant Subsidiary and would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) Compliance with Consents and Licenses. Every consent required by Lessee or any Significant Subsidiary (including those required under or pursuant to any Environmental Law) in connection with the conduct of its business and the ownership, use, exploitation or occupation of its property and assets has been obtained and is in full force and effect and there has not been any default in the observance of the conditions and restrictions (if any) imposed in, or in connection with, any of the same, except where the failure to obtain any of the foregoing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

-77-

(i) Compliance with Environmental Law.

For purposes of clause (iv) above, a sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of assets shall be deemed to be of “Substantial Assets” if such assets, when added to all other assets conveyed, sold, leased, transferred or otherwise disposed of by Lessee and its Subsidiaries in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (other than assets sold in the ordinary course of business or pursuant to clause (iii) above), shall exceed ten percent (10%) of Consolidated Total Assets as determined as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of Lessee immediately preceding the date of determination.

(e) Loans and Investments. Lessee will not, and will not permit any of its Significant Subsidiaries to, extend any credit to, guarantee the obligations of or make any additional investments in or acquire any interest in, any Person, other than in connection with:

(i) Extensions of credit in the nature of accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from the sales of goods or services in the ordinary course of business;

(ii) Lessee Permitted Investments;

(iii) Additional purchases of or investments in the stock of, or guarantees of the obligations of, Subsidiaries;

(iv) Employee loans and guarantees in accordance with Lessee’s usual and customary practices with respect thereto;

(v) Any Acquisition; or

(vi) Additional investments not exceeding, in the aggregate with all such investments, $300,000,000 during the period from the Delivery Date through the Lease Expiration Date;

provided that in the case of an Acquisition referred to in clause (v) above or an investment referred to in clause (vi) above, no such Acquisition or investment shall be made while there exists a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default or if a Lease Default, Lease Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect would occur as a result thereof.

(f) Distributions. Lessee will not declare or pay any dividends in respect of its capital stock, or purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value any of its capital stock now or hereafter outstanding, return any capital to its shareholders as such, or make any distribution of assets to its shareholders as such, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to purchase, redeem, retire, or otherwise acquire for value any stock of Lessee, except that Lessee may:

-91-

(i) Declare and deliver dividends and distributions payable only in common stock of either (A) Lessee or (B) Engenio Information Technologies, Inc. so long as (x) no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) no Lease Default, Lease Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect would occur as a result thereof;

(ii) Purchase shares of its capital stock from time to time in connection with the issuance of shares under Lessee’s employee stock option plans;

(iii) Purchase, redeem, retire, or otherwise acquire shares of its capital stock with the proceeds received from a substantially concurrent issue of new shares of its capital stock; and

(g) Transactions with Related Parties. Lessee will not, and will not permit any of its Significant Subsidiaries to, enter into any transaction, including the purchase, sale or exchange of property or the rendering of any services, with any Affiliate, any officer or director thereof or any Person which beneficially owns or holds twenty percent (20%) or more of the equity securities, or twenty percent (20%) or more of the equity interest, thereof (a “Related Party”), or enter into, assume or suffer to exist, or permit any Significant Subsidiary to enter into, assume or suffer to exist, any employment or consulting contract with any Related Party, except (i) a transaction or contract which is in the ordinary course of Lessee’s or such Significant Subsidiary’s business, including a transaction in the ordinary course of business between or among Lessee and one or more of its Subsidiaries and (ii) any other transaction which is upon fair and reasonable terms not less favorable to Lessee or such Significant Subsidiary than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person not a Related Party. For purposes of this Section 18.2(g), the sale, transfer or disposition of more than thirty percent (30%) of its assets (in any transaction or a series of related transactions) by Lessee or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be outside the ordinary course of business.

(h) Accounting Changes. Lessee will not, and will not permit any of its Significant Subsidiaries to, make any significant change in accounting treatment or reporting practices, except as required or permitted by GAAP (or, in the case of any such Significant Subsidiary domiciled in a jurisdiction other than the United States, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices in such jurisdiction).

-92-

Section 18.3. Financial and Other Covenants. During the Lease Term, Lessee shall comply, and shall cause compliance, with the following financial covenants:

(a) Liquidity Covenant. Lessee shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, permit Unrestricted Cash Reserves at any time to be less than the higher of (A) the sum of $100,000,000, plus the principal amount outstanding under the 4.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes due November 1, 2006 issued by Lessee pursuant to the Subordinated Indenture, dated as of October 30, 2001 between Lessee and State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A., as Trustee, as in effect on the Delivery Date and (B) $350,000,000.

(b) Cash Collateral. (i) With respect to each Cash Collateral Account, on each Payment Date, Lessee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Agent and the applicable Securities Intermediary a certificate for such Cash Collateral Account, in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent, certifying as to (A) the value of the Cash Collateral held in such Cash Collateral Account (with a reasonably detailed calculation thereof) and (B) the Required Cash Collateral Amount for such Cash Collateral Account. Each Securities Intermediary and Agent shall provide Lessee with the information necessary for Lessee to prepare such certificate and shall assist Lessee in the calculations required thereby.

(ii) If on any date that a certificate is furnished in accordance with Section 18.3(b)(i), the value of the Cash Collateral in any Cash Collateral Account shall be less than the Required Cash Collateral Amount for such Cash Collateral Account, then Lessee shall pledge to the Lessor by depositing into such Cash Collateral Account, additional Cash Collateral, which Cash Collateral shall be acceptable to the Lessor or the applicable Series A Assignee benefiting from such Cash Collateral, in each case in its sole and absolute discretion and in an amount such that the Cash Collateral in such Cash Collateral Account is equal to or greater than the Required Cash Collateral Amount for such Cash Collateral Account. If, on such date, pursuant to the certificate, Lessee has certified that the value of the Cash Collateral in any Cash Collateral Account is greater than the Required Cash Collateral Amount for such Cash Collateral Account and provided that (i) no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) Lessor or the applicable Assignee, as applicable, shall have received prior notice of the amount of Surplus Collateral (as defined below) to be withdrawn at least (2) Business Days prior to such withdrawal, then, as applicable, Lessor shall be deemed to have directed, or the applicable Assignee shall be deemed to have directed, the applicable Securities Intermediary to promptly release such excess amount to Lessee in an amount such that, after giving effect to such release and the payment by Lessee of any applicable breakage costs or other early termination costs and penalties arising as a result thereof, the value of the Cash Collateral remaining in such Cash Collateral Account held by the applicable Securities Intermediary for the ultimate benefit of Lessor or the applicable Assignee, as applicable, shall equal or exceed the Required Cash Collateral Amount for such Cash Collateral Account (for the purposes of this subparagraph (ii), such Cash Collateral to be released, “Surplus Collateral”). In such event, Lessee’s

-93-

certificate shall be deemed to be a representation by Lessee to the applicable Securities Intermediary, Agent and Lessor or the applicable Assignee, as applicable, or its assignee, as the case may be, with respect to Cash Collateral held for the ultimate benefit of such Assignee or its assignee, as the case may be, (or Lessor, with respect to Cash Collateral held for the ultimate benefit of Lessor) that no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default exists or would result from such release. By 5:00 P.M., San Francisco, California time, on the third Business Day after the date on which Lessee provided the certificate to Agent and the applicable Securities Intermediary, unless Lessor, with respect to Cash Collateral held for the ultimate benefit of Lessor or the applicable Assignee, or its assignee, as the case may be, with respect to Cash Collateral held for the ultimate benefit of such Assignee or its assignee, as the case may be, reasonably objects in writing provided to Agent and Lessee to the assertion that the applicable Cash Collateral Account contains Surplus Collateral, or to the amount of such Surplus Collateral, the applicable Securities Intermediary shall release such Surplus Collateral to the Lessee; provided, that no release of Surplus Collateral shall in any way affect the obligations of the Lessee pursuant to Section 18.3(b)(i); provided further, that if the applicable Assignee or its assignee, as the case may be, or Lessor, with respect to Cash Collateral held for the ultimate benefit of Lessor, has reasonably objected to the assertion that the applicable Cash Collateral Account contains Surplus Collateral, or to the amount of such Surplus Collateral, then the Securities Intermediary shall not release any Cash Collateral until the Lessee and the applicable Assignee or its assignee or the Lessor, with respect to Cash Collateral held for the ultimate benefit of Lessor, have resolved such discrepancy to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessee and such Assignee or its assignee, or Lessor, as the case may be.

Section 18.4. General Covenants. Lessee covenants and agrees with Lessor and Agent that, during the Lease Term, Lessee shall comply with the following provisions of this Section 18.4:

(a) Further Assurances. Lessee will cause to be promptly and duly taken, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, documents and assurances as Agent or Lessor reasonably may request from time to time in order to carry out more effectively the intent and purposes of this Lease and the other Operative Documents and the Overall Transaction. Lessee, at its own expense, will cause all financing statements (including precautionary financing statements), security agreements and other documents, to be recorded or filed at such places and times in such manner, and will take all such other actions or cause such actions to be taken, as may be necessary or as may be reasonably requested by Agent or Lessor in order to establish, preserve, protect and perfect the title of Lessor in the Items of Equipment, the Lien of Lessor in the Lessee Collateral and Lessor’s and Agent’s rights under this Lease and the other Operative Documents.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Securities. Lessee shall not, nor shall it permit anyone authorized to act on its behalf to, take any action which would subject any interest in any Item of Equipment or the Lease, or in any security or lease the offering of which, for purposes of

-94-

the Securities Act or any state securities laws, would be deemed to be part of the same offering as the offering of the aforementioned items, to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

(d) Rates. With respect to each determination of Accrual Rent under the Lease, Lessee agrees to be bound by Section 2.9 hereof and the applicable definition in Article I hereof.

Section 18.5. Covenants of Agent. Agent, in its individual capacity, covenants with each of the other parties hereto as follows, it being understood that the sole remedies for the breach of these covenants shall be to xxx for damages or for specific performance and that any such breach shall not modify or terminate Lessee’s obligations under Article VII:

(a) so long as this Lease remains in effect or so long as the obligations of Lessee arising hereunder have not been fully and finally discharged, Agent, in its individual capacity, (i) will keep this Lease and the Items of Equipment free and clear of all Lessor Liens attributable to Agent and shall indemnify, reimburse and hold Lessor and Lessee harmless from any and all claims, losses, damages, obligations, penalties, liabilities, demands, suits, or causes of action and all legal proceedings, and any costs or expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, of whatever kind and nature, imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lessor or Lessee in any way relating to, or arising in any manner out of, Agent’s failure to comply with this Section 18.5(a) and (ii) will not, provided that no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default exists, through its own actions, interfere with Lessee’s (or any permitted sublessee’s or assignee’s) rights hereunder with respect to the Items of Equipment during the term of this Lease, except as permitted or required by the terms of this Lease; and

(b) Agent shall apply funds held by it in its capacity as agent hereunder as required by this Lease.

Section 18.6. Covenants of Lessor. Lessor covenants with each of the other parties hereto as follows, it being understood that the sole remedies for the breach of these covenants shall be to xxx for damages or for specific performance and that any such breach shall not modify or terminate Lessee’s obligations under Article VIII:

(a) provided that no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default exists, it will not, through its own actions, interfere with Lessee’s (or any permitted sublessee’s or assignee’s) rights hereunder with respect to the Items of Equipment during the Lease Term;

(b) it will keep the Items of Equipment and other Lessee Collateral free and clear from all Lessor Liens attributable to it; provided that it may contest any such Lessor Lien pursuant to a Permitted Contest.

ARTICLE XIX

ASSIGNMENTS

Section 19.1. Lessor Assignments.

(a) (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 19.1(a)(i), Lessor may at any time, without the consent of Lessee, assign or transfer all, but not less than all, of its rights, title, interests and obligations and interest as “Lessor” and “Seller,” in, to and under this Lease, the other Operative Documents, the Items of Equipment and any other Lessee Collateral to an Eligible Lessor Assignee; provided, that (A) such assignment shall comply with this Section 19.1(a)(i), (B) such assignment shall be evidenced by an Assignment Agreement, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Agent, Lessee and each Assignee, (C) each assignment or transfer shall comply with all applicable securities laws and (D) the Lessor shall give notice of such assignment and the name of the assignee to Lessee, Agent and each Assignee; provided, further, that no such assignment shall be made if (1) in the reasonable opinion of Lessee, such assignment would (A) cause Lessee to be required to cease reporting this Lease as an operating lease in Lessee’s financial statements or (B) cause Lessee to be required to consolidate the assets of Lessor onto its balance sheet under FIN 46R or FASB 94, as applicable and (2) Lessee provides Lessor written notice of such determination within ten (10) Business Days of (A) Lessee’s receipt of the notice described in clause (D) above and (B) Lessee’s receipt of information regarding the proposed assignee as may be reasonably requested by Lessee’s independent public accountants, which request shall be made within 10 days after Lessee’s receipt of the notice described in clause (D) above. If Lessee has objected to a proposed assignee for the reason set forth in clause (1) above, Lessor may re-submit notice of such proposed assignee to Lessee at a later date and the reasonableness of Lessee’s opinion in clause (1) shall be determined as of such later date. So long as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee may object in writing to the proposed assignee for any reason other than as set forth in clause (1) above within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the notice described in clause (D) above, whereupon Lessee shall have sixty (60) days from the date of receipt by Lessee of such notice to find a replacement assignee which shall be an Eligible Lessor Assignee and if no such replacement assignee is found within such sixty (60) day period, the Lessor may assign all or any part of its rights, obligations and interest in, to and under this Lease, the other Operative Documents, the Items of Equipment and any other Lessee Collateral as contemplated above to such assignee identified in such notice delivered to Lessee.

(ii) Lessor may at any time, without the consent of Lessee, assign or transfer all or any part of its right, title, interest and obligations with respect to the Series A Lease Balance and/or the Series B Lease Balance, including, but not limited to, the right to receive Series A Accrual Rent, Series A Capital Rent, Series B Accrual Rent, Series B Capital Rent, and the Supplemental Rent, proceeds from the sale of the Equipment in connection with the enforcement of remedies, Purchase Amount, Early Termination Amount, Casualty Amount and Sale Recourse Amount relating to each of the Series A Lease Balance and the Series B Lease Balance and the Cash Collateral relating to the Series A Lease Balance, to an Eligible Assignee (each such Eligible Assignee, together with any “Assignee” under the Lessor Assignment Agreement and their respective permitted successors and assigns being herein called an “Assignee"); provided, that

-96-

(A) except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of Lessor or of all of the Lessor’s rights, obligations and interest in the Series A Lease Balance and the Series B Lease Balance, the amount of the assignment permitted hereunder shall not be less than $5,000,000, (B) such assignment shall be evidenced by a Lessor Assignment Agreement or a supplement or amendment thereto or other agreement evidencing such assignment, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Agent, Lessee, and each Assignee, (C) each assignment or transfer shall comply with all applicable securities laws and (D) the Lessor shall give notice of such assignment and the name of the assignee to Lessee, Agent and each Assignee; provided, further, that with respect to any assignment which occurs after the Delivery Date, no such assignment shall be made if (1) in the reasonable opinion of Lessee, such assignment would (A) cause Lessee to be required to cease reporting this Lease as an operating lease in Lessee’s financial statements or (B) cause Lessee to be required to consolidate the assets of Lessor or such assignee onto its balance sheet under FIN 46R or FASB 94, as applicable and (2) Lessee provides Lessor written notice of such determination within ten (10) Business Days of (A) Lessee’s receipt of the notice described in clause (D) above and (B) Lessee’s receipt of information regarding the proposed assignee as may be reasonably requested by Lessee’s independent public accountants, which request shall be made within 10 days after Lessee’s receipt of the notice described in clause (D) above. If, with respect to any assignment which occurs after the Delivery Date, Lessee has objected to a proposed assignee for the reason set forth in clause (1) above, Lessor may re-submit notice of such proposed assignee to Lessee at a later date and the reasonableness of Lessee’s opinion in clause (1) shall be determined as of such later date. With respect to any assignment which occurs after the Delivery Date, so long as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee may object in writing to the proposed assignee for any reason other than as set forth in clause (1) above within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the notice described in clause (D) above, whereupon Lessee shall have sixty (60) days from the date of receipt by Lessee of such notice to find a replacement assignee which shall be an Eligible Assignee and if no such replacement assignee is found within such sixty (60) day period, the Lessor may assign all or any part of its rights, obligations and interest in, to and under this Lease, the other Operative Documents, the Items of Equipment and any other Lessee Collateral as contemplated above to such assignee identified in such notice delivered to Lessee.

(iii) Lessee hereby agrees that notwithstanding anything contained in the Operative Documents to the contrary, Lessor may, without the consent of Lessee, borrow on a non-recourse basis from any financial institution and assign to such financial institution as security for such borrowing, all of Lessor’s right, title and interest with respect to the Series C Accrual Rent and Series C Lease Balance retained by Lessor and the Operative Documents relating thereto and the Series C Cash Collateral held by Lessor as Securities Intermediary and such financial institution shall be entitled to (A) receive such Series C Accrual Rent and Series C Lease Balance, (B) act as Securities Intermediary with respect to the Series C Cash Collateral and (C) exercise such rights and powers under the Operative Documents with respect to such Series C Accrual Rent and Series C Lease Balance assigned to such financial institution to the same extent as if such financial institution was an “Assignee” under the Lessor Assignment Agreement with respect to such Series C Lease Balance and such financial institution shall be deemed to be holding a portion of the outstanding Lease Balance equal to the outstanding principal amount of such non recourse borrowing. Lessee hereby agrees to execute all such documents, instruments and amendments as Lessor or such financial institution may reasonably request in connection with

-97-

such non-recourse borrowing and assignment. Lessee also agrees that Lessor may assign any or all of its right, title, interest and obligations under such non-recourse borrowing to any person without the consent of Lessee.

(b) Required Deliveries. Lessee and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with the assignor Lessor in connection with any interest so assigned until (i) notice of such assignment shall have been given to Lessee and Agent by Lessor or its assignee; and (ii) the assignor and assignee shall have executed and delivered to Agent and Lessee an instrument of assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G. When Agent and Lessee have received the items listed in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence, subject to subparagraph (a) above, the assignee shall be a party hereto and the other Operative Documents to which the assignor was (or in the case of a partial assignment, is) a party and, to the extent of the rights and obligations so assigned to it, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lessor hereunder and under such other Operative Documents, and the assignor shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and under such other Operative Documents. The Agent shall maintain a copy of each instrument of assignment delivered to it.

Section 19.2. Lessor Participations. Lessor may at any time sell to one or more Persons participating interests in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Lease, the other Operative Documents, the Items of Equipment and other Lessee Collateral (including all or any portion of the Rent owing to it); provided, however, that Lessor shall in no event sell a participating interest under this Section 19.2 if the result of such sale of a participating interest would result in the Lessor holding non-participated interests in an amount equal to or less than 5% of the then outstanding Lease Balance; provided, further, that:

(a) no participation contemplated in this Section 19.2 shall relieve Lessor from its obligations hereunder or under any other Operative Document;

(b) Lessor shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations;

(c) Lessee shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lessor in connection with Lessor’s rights and obligations under this Lease and the other Operative Documents and, subject to the rights of the participants under any agreement evidencing such participation, Lessor shall have the sole right to enforce its rights under the Operative Documents; and

(d) no participant (other than the participants party to any agreement evidencing such participation) shall be entitled to any reimbursement or indemnification for any Taxes, funding losses, additional costs, capital costs or reserve requirements pursuant to Section 11.4 or 11.5 in excess of a proportionate amount which would have been payable to Lessor or to an original participant from whom such Person directly or indirectly acquired its participation.

(a) Lessor irrevocably appoints and authorizes Xxxxx Fargo Bank Northwest, National Association to act as its agent hereunder, with such powers as are specifically delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Lessor authorizes and directs Agent to, and Agent agrees for the benefit of Lessor, that, on the Delivery Date it will accept the documents described in Section 3.1 of this Lease. Agent accepts the agency hereby created applicable to it and agrees to receive all payments and proceeds pursuant to the Operative Documents and to disburse such payments or proceeds in accordance with the Operative Documents. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Lease and the other Operative Documents. Agent shall not be responsible to Lessor (or to any other Person) (i) for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties of any party contained in this Lease or any other Operative Documents, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Lease or the other Operative Documents, other than the representations and warranties made by Agent in Section 17.3, or (ii) for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the title to the Items of Equipment (subject to Agent’s obligations under Section 18.5) or any other document referred to or provided for herein or (iii) for any failure by Lessee, Lessor or any other party (other than Agent) to perform any of its obligations under the Operative Documents. Agent may employ agents, trustees or attorneys-in-fact, may vest any of them with any property, title, right or power deemed necessary for the purposes of such appointment and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any of them selected by Agent with reasonable care. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, control, use, operate, store, lease, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Items of Equipment or the other Lessee Collateral, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Lease or any related document to which Agent is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of the Operative Documents, and no implied duties of any kind shall be read into the Operative Documents against Agent. The permissive right of Agent to take actions enumerated in this Lease or any other Operative Document shall never be construed as a duty, unless Agent is instructed or directed to exercise, perform or enforce one or more rights by Lessor (provided that Agent has received indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it). Subject to Section 20.1(c) below, no provision of the Operative Documents shall require Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its obligations under the Operative Documents, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers thereunder. It is understood and agreed that the duties of Agent are ministerial in nature.

-99-

(c) Except as specifically provided herein, Agent is acting hereunder solely as agent and, except as specifically provided herein, is not responsible to any party hereto in its individual capacity, except with respect to any claim arising from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, any breach of a representation or covenant made in its individual capacity or, in the case of Agent’s handling of funds, failure to act with the same care as Agent uses in handling its own funds.

(d) Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to and otherwise deal with Lessee or any of its Affiliates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the named Agent hereunder.

Section 20.2. Reliance. Agent may rely upon, and shall not be bound or obligated to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in, any certificate, notice or other communication (including any communication by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been made, signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent with due care (including any expert selected by Agent to aid Agent in any calculations required in connection with its duties under the Operative Documents).

Section 20.3. Action upon Instructions Generally. Subject to Sections 20.4 and 20.6, upon written instructions of Lessor, Agent shall, on behalf of Lessor, give such notice or direction, exercise such right, remedy or power hereunder or in respect of the Items of Equipment and the other Lessee Collateral, and give such consent or enter into such amendment to any document to which it is a party as Agent as may be specified in such instructions. Agent shall deliver to Lessor a copy of each notice, report and certificate received by Agent pursuant to the Operative Documents. Agent shall have no obligation to investigate or determine whether there has been a Lease Event of Default or a Lease Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of a Lease Event of Default or Lease Default unless a Responsible Officer of Agent is notified in writing of such Lease Event of Default or Lease Default; provided that a Responsible Officer of Agent shall be deemed to have been notified in writing of any failure of Lessee to pay Basic Rent in the amounts and at the times set forth in Section 6.1 (a “Payment Default”) immediately upon the occurrence of such Payment Default. If Agent receives notice of a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof, at Lessee’s expense, to Lessor. Subject to Sections 20.4, 20.6 and 22.5, Agent shall take action or refrain from taking action with respect to such Lease Default or Lease Event of Default as directed by Lessor; provided that, unless and until Agent receives such directions, Agent may refrain from taking any action, or may act in its discretion, with respect to such Lease Default or Lease Event of Default. Prior to the date the Lease Balance shall have become due and payable by acceleration pursuant to Section 12.2, the Lessor may deliver written instructions to Agent to waive, and Agent shall waive pursuant thereto, any Lease Event of Default and its consequences. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Lease, Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by Lessor and such instructions of Lessor and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on Lessor.

-100-

Section 20.4. Indemnification. Lessor shall reimburse and hold Agent harmless (but only to the extent that any such indemnified amounts have not in fact been paid to Agent by, or on behalf of, Lessee in accordance with Section 11.1) from any and all claims, losses, damages, obligations, penalties, liabilities, demands, suits, judgments, or causes of action, and all legal proceedings, and any reasonable costs or expenses in connection therewith, including allocated charges, costs and expenses of internal counsel of Agent and all other reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Agent, in any way relating to or arising in any manner out of (i) any Operative Document, the enforcement hereof or thereof or the consummation of the Overall Transaction, or (ii) instructions from Lessor (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that Lessee is obligated to and does not pay hereunder, but excluding normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance by Agent of its agency duties hereunder other than materially increased administrative costs and expenses incurred as a result of a Lease Event of Default); provided that Lessor shall not be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent, (b) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or breach of any covenant given by Agent in Section 17.3 or Section 18.5, (c) in the case of Agent’s handling of funds, the failure to act with the same care as Agent uses in handling its own funds or (d) any taxes, fees or other charges payable by Agent based on or measured by any fees, commissions or compensation received by it for acting as Agent in connection with the Overall Transaction.

Section 20.5. Independent Credit Investigation. Lessor, by entering into this Lease and the other Operative Documents, agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Lessee and its own decision to enter into this Lease and each of the other Operative Documents to which it is a party and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking action under this Lease and any other Operative Documents to which it is a party. Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Lessee of any other document referred to (directly or indirectly) or provided for herein or to inspect the properties or books of Lessee.

Section 20.6. Refusal to Act. Except for notices and actions expressly required of Agent hereunder and except for the performance of its covenants in Section 18.5, Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act unless (a) it is indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by Lessor against any and all liability and reasonable expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action; provided that such indemnity shall not be required to extend to liability or expense arising from any matter described in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 20.4, it being understood that no action taken by Agent in accordance with the instructions of Lessor shall be deemed to constitute any such matter and (b) it is reasonably satisfied that such action is not contrary to any Operative Document or to any Applicable Law and Regulations.

Section 20.7. Resignation or Removal of Agent; Appointment of Successor. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at

-101-

any time by giving notice thereof to Lessor and Lessee or may be removed at any time, by written notice from Lessor. Upon any such resignation or removal, Lessor, at the time of the resignation or removal shall have the right to appoint, with the prior written consent of Lessee (so long as no Lease Event of Default is continuing), a successor Agent which shall be a financial institution having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000. If, within 30 calendar days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or receipt of a written notice of removal, a successor Agent is not so appointed and does not accept such appointment, then the retiring or removed Agent may appoint a successor Agent and transfer to such successor Agent all rights and obligations of the retiring Agent. Such successor Agent shall be a financial institution having combined capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from duties and obligations as Agent thereafter arising hereunder and under any related document. If the retiring Agent does not appoint a successor, Lessor shall be entitled to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for such appointment, and such court may thereupon appoint a successor to act until such time, if any, as a successor shall have been appointed as above provided.

Section 20.8. Separate Agent. The Lessor may, and if it fails to do so at any time when it is so required, Agent may, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction to which the Items of Equipment or other Lessee Collateral may be subject, appoint one or more individuals or corporations either to act as co-agent jointly with Agent or to act as separate agent of all or any part of the Items of Equipment or other Lessee Collateral, and vest in such individuals or corporations, in such capacity such rights or duties as Agent may consider necessary or desirable. Agent shall not be required to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified. Agent shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments as may be required by any such co-agent or separate agent more fully confirming such title, rights or duties to such co-agent or separate agent; provided that, so long as no Lease Event of Default or Material Lease Default has occurred and continuing, Lessee’s consent is required for the appointment of a co-agent or separate agent pursuant to this Section 20.8. Upon the acceptance in writing of such appointment by any such co-agent or separate agent, it, she or he shall be vested with such interest in the Items of Equipment or the other Lessee Collateral or any part thereof, and with such rights and duties, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Operative Documents, as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment, jointly with Agent (except insofar as local law makes it necessary for any such co-agent or separate agent to act alone), subject to all terms of the Operative Documents. Any co-agent or separate agent, to the fullest extent permitted by legal requirements of the relevant jurisdiction, at any time, by an instrument in writing, shall constitute Agent its attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power and authority to do all acts and things and to exercise all discretion on its behalf and in its name. If any co-agent or separate agent shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the interest in the Items of Equipment and the other Lessee Collateral and all rights and duties of such co-agent or separate agent shall, so far as permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by Agent, without the appointment of a successor to such co-agent or separate agent.

Section 20.9. Termination of Agency. The agency created hereby shall terminate upon the final disposition by Lessor of all of the Items of Equipment and other Lessee Collateral and the final distribution by Agent of all monies or other property or proceeds received pursuant to the Operative Documents in accordance with their terms, provided that at such time Lessee shall have complied fully with all the terms hereof.

Section 20.10. Compensation of Agency. Lessee shall pay Agent its reasonable fees, costs and expenses for the performance of Agent’s obligations hereunder (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) to the extent provided in the Agent Fee Letter.

It is expressly understood and agreed by and among the parties hereto that, except as otherwise provided herein or in the other Operative Documents: (a) this Lease and the other Operative Documents to which Agent is a party are executed by Agent, not in its individual capacity (except with respect to the representations and covenants of Agent in Sections 17.3 and 18.5), but solely as Agent under the Operative Documents in the exercise of the power and authority conferred and vested in it as such Agent; (b) each and all of the undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of Agent are each and every one of them made and intended not as personal undertakings and agreements by Agent, or for the purpose or with the intention of binding Agent personally, but are made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Items of Equipment and the other Lessee Collateral unless expressly provided otherwise; (c) actions to be taken by Agent pursuant to its obligations under the Operative Documents may, in certain circumstances, be taken by Agent only upon specific authority of Lessor; (d) nothing contained in the Operative Documents shall be construed as creating any liability on Agent, individually or personally, or any incorporator or any past, present or future subscriber to the capital stock of, or stockholder, officer or director, employee, Affiliate or agent of, Agent to perform any covenants either express or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the other parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under them; and (e) so far as Agent, individually or personally, is concerned, the other parties hereto and any Person claiming by, through or under them shall look solely to the Items of Equipment, the other Lessee Collateral and Lessee for the performance of any obligation under any of the instruments referred to herein; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 20.11 shall be construed to limit in scope or substance the general corporate liability of Agent in respect of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, negligence in the handling of funds or for those representations, warranties and covenants of Agent in its individual capacity set forth herein or in any of the other Operative Documents.

Section 22.11. No Accord and Satisfaction. The acceptance by Lessor of any sums from Lessee (whether as Capital Rent or otherwise) in amounts which are less than the amounts due and payable by Lessee hereunder is not intended, nor shall be construed, to constitute an accord and satisfaction of any dispute between Lessor and Lessee regarding sums due and payable by Lessee hereunder, unless the Agent specifically deems it as such in writing.

Section 22.12. Enforcement of Certain Warranties. Unless a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor authorizes Lessee (directly or through agents), at Lessee’s expense, to assert, during the Lease Term, all of Lessor’s rights (if any) under any applicable warranty and any other claim that Lessee or Lessor may have under the warranties provided in connection with the Items of Equipment and Lessor agrees to cooperate, at Lessee’s expense, with Lessee and its agents in asserting such rights.

At such time as no Material Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall be continuing, such amounts, net of any amounts previously applied to Lessee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Operative Documents, shall be paid to Lessee. Any such amounts which are held pending payment to Lessee or application hereunder shall be invested by Lessor as directed from time to time in writing by Lessee, and at the expense and risk of Lessee, in Permitted Investments. Any gain (including interest received) realized as the result of any such investment (net of any fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such investment) shall be applied from time to time in the same manner as the principal invested. Lessor shall not be liable for any losses on such investments.
