USE AND MAINTENANCE (a) Lessee shall (i) use the Equipment solely in the conduct of its business, for the purpose for which the Equipment was designed, in a careful and proper manner and not discontinue use of the Equipment; (ii) operate, maintain, inspect, service, repair, overhaul and test the Equipment, and maintain all records, logs and other materials relating thereto, in accordance with (1) all maintenance and operating manuals or service agreements, whenever furnished or entered into, including any subsequent amendments, supplements, renewals or replacements thereof, issued by the manufacturer or service provider, (2) the requirements of all applicable insurance policies, (3) the Purchase Documents, so as to preserve all of Lessee's and Lessor's rights thereunder, including all rights to any warranties, indemnities or other rights or remedies, (4) Applicable Laws, and (5) consistent with the prudent practice of other similar companies in the same business as Lessee, but in any event, to no lesser standard than that employed by Lessee for comparable equipment owned or leased by it; (iii) not change the location of any Equipment as specified in the Equipment Schedule without the prior written consent of Lessor; (iv) not attach or incorporate the Equipment to or in any other item of equipment in such a manner that the Equipment may be deemed to have become an accession to or a part of such other item of equipment; (v) cause each principal item of the Equipment to be continually marked, in a plain and distinct manner, with the name of Lessor or its designee followed by the words "Owner and Lessor," or other appropriate words designated by Lessor on labels furnished by Lessor, and (vi) cause the Equipment to be kept and maintained in good operating condition and in the same condition as when delivered to Lessee hereunder, except for ordinary wear and tear resulting despite Lessee's full compliance with the terms hereof. With respect to Lessee's agreement in subclause (ii) above to maintain, inspect, service, repair, overhaul and test each item of Equipment in accordance with sub-subclauses (1), (3) and (5), Lessee shall undertake and be responsible for the foregoing in exchange for a credit to Lessee's rental obligations the amount of which has been calculated and agreed to by both Lessee and Lessor as fair and complete consideration for such undertaking and responsibility as it may now and hereafter exist (including the payment of all charges, fees, costs and expenses relating thereto), and accounted for in the amount of Basic Rent Lessee has agreed to pay for such item of Equipment by its execution and delivery of the Equipment Schedule relating thereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, Lessee acknowledges and agrees that (A) the credit provided for in the preceding sentence shall fully discharge Lessor for all purposes from performing or complying with any of the obligations specified in such sentence (to the extent Lessor would be deemed to have had any responsibility therefor), and (B) it shall also undertake, be responsible for and otherwise fully perform and comply with all of the obligations provided for herein that are not specified in the preceding sentence, and that it shall not be entitled to any credit or other compensation with respect thereto, nor shall Lessor have any responsibility to Lessee or any other person with respect to the performance or non-performance of, or compliance or non-compliance with, any of such obligations, or any other obligations not expressly assumed by it hereunder.
(b) If any parts of the Equipment become worn out, lost, destroyed, damaged beyond repair or otherwise permanently rendered unfit for use, Lessee, at its own expense, will within a reasonable time replace such parts with replacement parts that are free and clear of all Liens and have a value and utility at least equal to the value, condition and utility that such replaced parts would have had if maintained in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof. In the event that any Applicable Law requires alteration or modification to the Equipment, Lessee will conform thereto or obtain conformance therewith, and shall otherwise cause the altered or modified Equipment to comply with the provisions hereof. With respect to parts, additions or improvements which are added to the Equipment that are essential to the operation of the Equipment, are necessary to cause it to be in compliance with the provisions of this Lease or which cannot be detached from the Equipment without materially interfering with the operation of the Equipment or adversely affecting the value, condition and utility which the Equipment would have had without the addition thereof, title thereto shall immediately vest in Lessor to the same extent and with the same priority as Lessor holds in the Equipment, without cost or expense to Lessor, or any further action by any other person, and such parts, improvement and additions shall be deemed incorporated in the Equipment and subject to the terms of this Lease as if originally leased hereunder. Lessor agrees that upon Lessee's replacing a part in full compliance with the provisions of this subsection (b), all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to any part so replaced shall without further action vest in Lessee "AS IS, WHERE IS," and otherwise subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof. Lessee shall not make any material alterations to the Equipment without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) Upon the twenty-four (24) hours' written or telephonic request of Lessor, Lessee shall provide to Lessor any information reasonably requested by Lessor pertaining to the Equipment or Lessee, including, the location and condition of the Equipment. Upon reasonable advance notice (which the parties agree shall be no less than forty-eight (48) hours' written or telephonic request) Lessee shall afford Lessor access to Lessee's premises where the Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting such Equipment, all applicable maintenance and other records, Permits, licenses and any notices or directives from any manufacturer, vendor, service provider or Governmental Authority, at any reasonable time during normal business hours; provided, however, if a Default or default shall have occurred and be continuing, no notice of any inspection by Lessor shall be required. In the event Lessee fails or is unable to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform the same, and Lessee shall forthwith reimburse Lessor on an after-tax basis, as Supplemental Rent, for all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in performing the same. Lessor shall not have any duty to make or cause to be made any inspection, repair, restoration, replacement, renewal, addition or improvement of any nature or description with respect to the Equipment, or the related property or to incur any cost or expense in connection with any Lease Document and Lessor shall not incur any liability or obligation to any person by reason of Lessor's doing, causing to be done or failing to do any of the foregoing, in its discretion.

Tenant further understands that Landlord shall not be required to make any repairs to the roof, foundations, footings, the exterior surfaces of the exterior walls of the Building (excluding exterior glass), or structural, electrical or mechanical systems unless and until Tenant has notified Landlord in writing of the need for such repair and Landlord shall have a reasonable period of time thereafter to commence and complete said repair, if warranted. Except as set forth in Sections 2.4 and 4.2 of this Lease, all costs of any maintenance, repairs and replacement on the part of Landlord provided hereunder shall be considered part of Project Costs.
