numbers in Schedules as appropriate. Lessee will, at its expense, keep the
Equipment free and clear from any liens or encumbrances of any kind (except any
caused by Lessor) and will indemnify and hold Lessor, Owner, any Assignee and
Secured Party harmless from and against any loss caused by Lessee's failure to

such Initial Term of the applicable Schedule. Lessee will remain obligated upon
the expiration of the Initial Term to return such Equipment, or, at Lessor's
sole discretion to (i) return Like Equipment or (ii) negotiate a mutually
acceptable lease extension or purchase. If the parties cannot mutually agree
upon the terms of an extension or purchase, the term of the Schedule will extend
upon the original terms and conditions until terminated pursuant to Section 2.
No relocation or sublease will relieve Lessee from any of its obligations
under this Master Lease and the relevant Schedule.
5.3 ASSIGNMENT BY LESSOR. The terms and conditions of each Schedule have
been fixed by Lessor in order to permit Lessor to sell and/or assign or transfer
its interest or grant a security interest in each Schedule and/or the Equipment

Assignee and any Secured Party. However, any assignment, sale, or other transfer
by Lessor will not relieve Lessor of its obligations to Lessee and will not

imposed on Lessee. The Lessee consents to and will acknowledge such assignments
in a written notice given to Lessee. Lessee also agrees that:
(a) The Secured Party will be entitled to exercise all of Lessor's
rights, but will not be obligated to perform any of the obligations of Lessor.

unrestricted use of the Equipment so long as Lessee is not in default and the
Secured Party continues to receive all Rent payable under the Schedule; and
(b) Lessee will pay all Rent and all other amounts payable to the
Secured Party, despite any defense or claim which it has against Lessor. Lessee
reserves its right to have recourse directly against Lessor for any defense or
claim;

in the Equipment, Lessee holds the Equipment for the Secured Party to the extent
of the Secured Party's rights in that Equipment.

the Equipment are removed during a Reconfiguration or Attachment, Lessor may
require Lessee to provide additional security, satisfactory to the Lessor, in
order to ensure performance of Lessee's obligations set forth in this
subsection. Neither Attachments nor parts installed on Equipment in the course
of Reconfiguration will be accessions to the Equipment.

at Lessor's option, either (a) replace the item of Equipment with Like Equipment
and marketable title to the Like Equipment will automatically vest in Lessor or
(b) pay the Casualty Value and after that payment and the payment of all other
amounts due and owing, Lessee's obligation to pay further Rent for the item of
Equipment will cease.

otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Equipment at a public or private
sale for cash or credit with the privilege of purchasing the Equipment. The
proceeds from any sale, lease or other disposition of the Equipment are defined
