governmental or quasi-governmental charges of whatsoever kind or character
including interest and penalty, whether assessed against Lessor or Lessee,
on or relating to the Unit and on the ownership, possession, leasing, use,
shipment, transportation, delivery or operation of the Unit, and all gross
receipts and like taxes against Lessor on or measured by rents payable
hereunder. It is the intention of the parties hereto that Lessor may be
free from all such taxes, fees, assessments and charges and that the Lease
shall yield to Lessor not less than the Rent reserved hereunder throughout
the stated term of this Lease, provided, however, that this Section 5~a)
shall not be deemed to obligate Lessee to pay any taxes, fees, assessments
or charges which have been included in Lessor's Cost or any net income or
franchise taxes against Lessor on or measured by the net income or net
worth of Lessor; provided, however, that Lessee agrees to pay all such net
income and franchise taxes against Lessor on or measured by the net income
or net worth of Lessor (i) which under applicable law or related
regulations or rulings are in substitution for or relieve Lessee from any
tax on the Unit which Lessee would otherwise be obligated to pay under the
terms of this Section 5(a) or (ii) which are imposed by the State of New
Jersey or any other state or locality in which the Unit may be located
solely by reason of the location of such Unit or the leasing thereof in
such state or locality. Lessee agrees to comply with all state and local
laws requiring the filing of ad valorem tax returns on the Unit. Any
statements for such taxes received by Lessor shall be promptly forwarded to
Lessee by Lessor. Lessee shall not be obligated to pay any amount under
this Section 5(a) so long as it shall in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings contest the validity or the amount thereof unless such contest
would subject any Unit to forfeiture or sale or adversely affect Lessor's
title thereto. Lessee's obligations under this Section shall survive the
termination of the Lease.
(b) Maintenance and Servicing. Lessee agrees to pay all costs,
expenses, fees and charges incurred in connection with the use and
operation of the Unit during the term hereof, including but not limited to
repairs, maintenance, storage and servicing. Lessor agrees that, so long as
Lessee is not in default hereunder, Lessee shall have the benefit of and
shall be entitled to enforce, either in its own name or in the name of
Lessor for the use and benefit of Lessee, any and all dealer's,
manufacturer's or subcontractor's warranties in
25
respect of the Unit, and Lessor agrees to execute and deliver such further
acts as may be necessary to enable Lessee to obtain customary warranty
service furnished for the Unit by such dealer, manufacturer or
subcontractor. Lessor shall have no obligation or duty with respect to any
of such matters.
(c) Documentary Taxes and Recording Fees. Lessee agrees to pay all
stamp or documentary taxes and recording fees, federal, state, county,
city, municipal or otherwise, levied or assessed or otherwise payable on,
or with respect to the recording of, this transaction, this Lease, any
Lease Supplement, the Trust Agreement or any document whatsoever to which
Lessee is a party which creates or transfers an interest in the Unit.
SECTION 6. INDEMNITY.
(a) Scope. Lessee hereby assumes liability for, and hereby agrees to
indemnify, protect, save and keep harmless Lessor, Agent, Trustor, the
Security Trustees, and each Term Lender and their respective agents and
servants (collectively the "Indemnitees") from and against, any and all
losses, damages, injuries, claims, demands and all expenses, legal or
otherwise (including court costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred),
and of whatsoever kind and nature (including claims for strict liability in
tort) arising on account of the ownership, use (including by reason of the
use for incorporation of any invention in equipment or infringements of
patents), condition (including without limitation latent and other defects
and whether or not discoverable by Lessor or Lessee) or operation of the
Unit, and by whomsoever used or operated, during the construction,
purchase, delivery, installation, ownership, leasing or disposition of the
Unit and in any event throughout the continuance of this Lease.
Lessee shall not, however, be required to pay or discharge any claim or demand
referred to in this Section 6(a) so long as the validity or the amount thereof
shall be contested in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings in any
reasonable manner which will not result in the forfeiture or sale of the Unit or
adversely affect Lessor's title thereto or interfere with the due payment by
Lessee to the Security Trustees of any Rent or other sum payable by Lessee
hereunder, or the due application by the Security Trustees of any such rent or
other sum pursuant to the Indenture of Mortgage. Lessor shall give Lessee prompt
notice of any claim or liability hereby indemnified against, and Lessee shall be
entitled to control the defense thereof.
(b) Federal Income Taxes. The Lessee acknowledges that the Trustor, as
Trustor of the Grantor Trust which is the Lessor shall be entitled to such
deductions, credits and other benefits as are provided by the Internal
Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (the "Code") to an owner of property,
including (without limitation) an allowance for the Investment Credit, the
Depreciation Deduction and the Interest Deduction (all as referred to in
Section 5(c) of the Restated Trust Agreement) with respect to the Unit to
the extent so provided. It is understood and agreed that this Section
26
6(b) is for the benefit of Trustor, and that Lessor, as Trustee under the
Grantor Trust, as well as Trustor, is vested with the right, power and
authority to enforce this Section 6(b).
Lessee agrees that neither it nor any corporation controlled by it, in
control of it, or under common control with it, directly or indirectly,
will at any time take any action or file any returns or other documents
inconsistent with the foregoing and that each of such corporations will
file such returns, take such action and execute such documents as may be
reasonable and necessary to facilitate accomplishment of the intent
thereof. Lessee agrees to keep and make available for inspection and
copying by Lessor or Trustor such records as will enable Lessor or Trustor
to determine whether it is entitled to the full benefit of the Investment
Credit, Depreciation Deduction and the Interest Deduction with respect to
the Unit.
The Lessee represents and warrants that (i) none of the Equipment
constitutes property the construction, reconstruction or erection of which
was begun before April l, 19?l; (ii) at the time the ownership of the Unit
is transferred by the Manufacturer, the Unit of Equipment will constitute
"new Section 38 property" within the meaning of Section 48(b) of the Code
and at the time ownership of the Unit is transferred by the Manufacturer,
the Unit will not have been used by any person so as to preclude the
original use of such property within the meaning of Sections 48(b) and
167(c)(2) of the Code from commencing with the Trustor or Lessor and (iii)
the Lessee will not at any time during the term of this Lease, use, or fail
to use the Unit in such a way as to disqualify it as "Section 38 property"
within the meaning of Section 48(a) of the Code. Also, the Lessee
represents and warrants that the Unit will be placed into service not later
than June 30, 1974 in accordance with Income Tax Regulations, Section
1.167(a)-11(e) and Section 1.46-3(d)(1) and (2) defining "first placed into
service".
If, at any time, the Trustor shall lose or shall not have or shall
lose the right to claim, or there shall be disallowed or recaptured with
respect to the Trustor, all or any portion of the Investment Credit,
Interest Deduction or Depreciation Deduction with respect to the Unit for
any period prior to the termination of this Lease and full compliance by
the Lessee with all of its obligations hereunder as the direct or indirect
result of one or more of the following events (hereinafter in this Section
6(b) called an Event) --
(i) the conclusion of the Internal Revenue Service that any
representation, fact, estimate, opinion or other statement which is
contained in a certificate furnished to the Trustor or by the Lessee, or
any affiliated company or any officer, employee, agent or attorney
thereof, which is contained in the Request for Rulings (as referred to in
Section 5(c) of the Restated Trust Agreement) is fraudulent, untrue,
incorrect, inaccurate, misleading, unreasonable, or insufficient in whole
or in part (including any omission of a material fact which causes such
representation, fact, estimate, opinion or other statement to be
misleading or insufficient in whole or in part)
(ii) The conclusion of the Internal Revenue Service that any
representation, fact, estimate, opinion or other statement made or stated
by the
27
Lessee or any affiliated company or any officer, employee, agent or
attorney thereof in connection with the obtaining of the rulings
requested in such Request for Rulings is fraudulent, untrue, incorrect,
inaccurate, misleading, unreasonable or insufficient in whole or in part
(including any omission of a material fact which causes such
representation, fact, estimate, opinion or other statement to be
misleading or insufficient in whole or in part);
(iii) the Lessee, or any affiliated company or any officer, employee,
agent or attorney thereof or by a third party at the request of the
Lessee, has taken or failed to take any action whatsoever (including
without limitation, any action in respect of the Lessee's or such
affiliates tax returns) which action or non-action is inconsistent with
or in contravention of any of the matters set forth in such Request for
Rulings or set forth in the rulings issued pursuant thereto or in any
closing agreement entered into in connection with such rulings;
(iv) an assessment of additional tax liability as a result of the
conclusion of the Internal Revenue Service that the Unit was not "first
placed into service" by June 30, 1974; or
(v) the representations contained in this Section 6(b) being untrue;
then in such event, the Lessee shall, to the extent any assessment against the
Trustor is made by the Internal Revenue Service and paid by the Trustor or
Lessor with respect to the Investment Credit, Interest and/or Depreciation
Deductions lost, disallowed, recaptured or not available to be claimed, promptly
upon written notice, pay to the Trustor as additional rent an amount which,
after deduction of all taxes required to be paid by Trustor or Lessor in respect
of the receipt thereof under the laws of any Federal, state or local government
or taxing authority of the United States of America, shall be equal to any
portion of the Investment Credit lost, not claimed, not available for claim,
disallowed or recaptured by or from the Trustor or Lessor as a consequence of
such event plus such sums as, in the reasonable opinion of the Trustor or
Lessor, will cause the Trustor's or Lessor's net return to be equal to the net
return that would have been available to the Trustor or Lessor if it had been
entitled to the utilization of all of the Interest Deduction or Depreciation
Deduction which was lost, not claimed, not available for claim, disallowed or
recaptured by or from the Trustor or Lessor in consequence of the event plus
such sum as will pay or reimburse the Trustor or Lessor for any interest or
penalties incurred in connection with the Investment Credit, Interest Deduction
or Depreciation Deduction which is lost, not claimed, not available for claim,
disallowed or recaptured.
Upon the commencement of any proceeding (including the written claim
or written threat of such proceeding) in respect of which indemnity may be
sought under the foregoing paragraph of this Section 6(b), the Trustor or Lessor
shall promptly, upon its knowledge thereof, give written notice of such
commencement to the Lessee. In case such notice of any such commencement shall
be so given, the Lessee shall be entitled to participate in any such proceeding,
and in the latter event such proceeding shall be conducted by counsel chose by
and satisfactory to the Trustor who shall be involved in
28
such proceeding, but if the Lessee shall not elect to assume the responsibility
for such proceeding, the Lessee will reimburse the Trustor for the reasonable
fees and expenses of any counsel retained by it.
(c) Duration. The indemnities and assumptions of liabilities in
Section 6(a) contained shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding
the termination of this Lease, whether by expiration of time or otherwise, as to
any act or omission, relating to the ownership, use, condition or operation (as
such terms are used in Section 6(a)), of the Unit, occurring during the
continuance of this Lease which at any time is claimed to have created a cause
of action against any of Indemnities; provided, however, the indemnity and
assumption of liability against any claims for patent infringements shall
continue in full force and effect after the term of this Lease throughout the
life of the Unit except as to any alterations or modifications to the Unit
following the disposition thereof by Lessor. The indemnities and assumptions of
liabilities set forth in this Section 6 do not guarantee a residual value.
(d) Protection of Trustor. The indemnities, assumptions of
liability in Section 6(a) and the agreements of Lessee in Section 5(a)
hereof shall extend to and protect the Trustor to the same extent and with
the same force and effect as if the Trustor were named as the lessor
hereunder.
SECTION 7. INSURANCE.
Lessee agrees that it will at all times during the term of this Lease
and at its own cost and expense keep the Unit insured against loss by fire,
windstorm and explosion and with extended coverage and against such other risks
of physical loss as are customarily insured against by companies owning property
of a similar character and engaged in a business similar to that engaged in by
Lessee at not less than the full insurable value (actual replacement value less
actual physical depreciation) thereof (which coverage shall be considered met if
Lessee shall maintain blanket coverage for all of the physical properties which
it owns or leases in an amount for any one loss not less than the maximum
possible loss which may occur to the physical properties which it owns or
leases), and will maintain general public liability insurance with respect to
the Unit against damage because of bodily injury, including death, or damage to
property of others, such insurance to afford protection to the limit maintained
by companies owning property of a similar character and engaged in a business
similar to that engaged in by Lessee but in no event less than $5,000,000 each
occurrence. Any such insurance may have applicable thereto deductible provisions
to no greater extent than in effect for insurance coverage for equipment similar
to the Unit owned by Lessee and shall cover the interests in the Equipment of,
and name, the Trustor, the Lessor, the Lessee and any assignee of the Lessor
referred to in Section l~ hereof.
Lessee shall furnish Lessor with certificates or other satisfactory
evidence of maintenance of the insurance required hereunder and with respect to
any renewal policy or policies shall furnish certificates evidencing such
renewal prior to the expiration date of the original policy or policies. All
policies of insurance shall provide that the same shall not be cancelled without
at least ten days prior written notice to the Lessor, the
29
Trustor and any assignee pursuant to Section 14 hereof. All insurance provided
for in this Section 7 shall be effected with insurance companies approved by
Lessor and the Security Trustees, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, authorized to do business in the State of New Jersey.
In the event that insurance for the risks of physical loss to the
Unit embodied in this Section 7 shall no longer be available to the Lessee
because such coverage is no longer carried or available on any
commercially-reasonable basis to public utilities conducting essentially the
same business as the Lessee (as opposed to the failure or unwillingness of the
Lessee to comply with reasonable insuring warranties and conditions necessary to
obtain or keep such insurance in effect) then Lessee shall so certify to Lessor
and the Security Trustees in writing and shall thereupon be released from any
obligation to provide said insurance.
SECTION 8. RISK OF LOSS, REPAIRS, DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION; MODIFICATIONS.
Lessee shall bear the risk of damage, loss, theft or destruction,
partial or complete, of the Unit from whatsoever source arising (whether or not
any insurance proceeds are payable in respect of, or are sufficient to cover,
such damage, loss, theft or destruction) and any and all replacements, repairs
or substitutions of parts of the Unit shall be at the cost and expense of Lessee
and shall constitute accessions to the Unit and title thereto shall vest and
remain in Lessor. Lessee shall at all times, at its own expense, keep the Unit
in good and efficient working order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and
tear excepted, and will comply with such operating or repair standards and
periodic maintenance inspections as are required to enforce warranty claims
against the Manufacturer and all subcontractors in respect of the Unit or which
are otherwise established by such parties as normal operating procedures or
which are required by any governmental commission, board or other authority
having Jurisdiction. At any time throughout the term of this Lease, Lessee shaI1
have the right to make any modifications in or alterations to the Unit as it may
deem necessary to modernize or upgrade the usefulness to Lessee of the Unit or
as it may deem necessary to adapt the Unit to its particular needs and such
modifications and alterations may include the replacement of the power or other
major components of the Unit or constitute a rebuilding of substantially all of
the Unit, provided that no such modifications or alterations detract from the
value and utility or useful life of the Unit. In any event Lessee shall make all
such modifications and alterations to the Unit as may be required from time to
time to meet the requirements of law or of any governmental commission, board or
other authority having Jurisdiction. Title to all components and parts being
made a part of the Unit pursuant to such modifications and alterations shaI1
vest and remain in Lessor.
SECTION 9. LOCATION AND USE.
Lessee agrees that the Unit will be used solely in the conduct of its
business and will at all times be and remain in the possession and control of
Lessee at the location designated therefor in Exhibit A hereto, provided that
Lessee may deliver possession of any part of portions of the Unit to the
Manufacturer, or other subcontractor
30
or agent, for purposes of realizing the benefits of any warranty or in order to
comply with the obligations of Lessee under Section 8 hereof but the rights of
any such party in possession of the Unit shall be subject and subordinate to the
terms of this Lease, including without limitation the right of Lessor to take
possession of the Unit pursuant to Section 15 hereof. In the event of any
removal of any parts or portion of the Unit from the county in which it is
located as designated in Exhibit A hereto, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor
promptly after such removal and in any event within ten days thereafter the
opinion of Lessee's counsel that such removal shall not impair or adversely
affect the ownership of such parts or portion of the Unit by Lessor, that all
necessary recording and filings (including financing statements and continuation
statements under any applicable Uniform Commercial Code) have been duly made in
the public offices wherein such recordings or filings are necessary to protect
the validity and effectiveness of this Lease and the Indenture of Mortgage and
that all fees, taxes and charges payable in connection therewith have been paid
in full by Lessee. In no event shall the Unit or any part or portion thereof be
removed to a location outside the continental United States without the prior
written consent of Lessor. Lessee warrants that the Unit will at all times be
used and operated under and in compliance with the laws of the Jurisdiction in
which it may be operated, and in compliance with all lawful acts, rules,
regulations and orders of any commissions, boards or other legislative,
executive or Judicial bodies or officers having power to regulate or supervise
the use of such property; provided, however, Lessee may in good faith contest in
any reasonable manner the application of any such rule, regulation or order to
the extent that such contest does not result in the forfeiture or sale of any
Unit or adversely affect Lessor's title thereto. Lessee agrees that, without the
prior written consent of Lessor and the Security Trustees, Lessee will not
assign, transfer or sublease its rights under this Lease, or permit its rights
or interest hereunder to be subject to any lien, charge or encumbrance other
than the lien on Lessee's leasehold estate hereunder of the Mortgage and Deed of
Trust dated January 15, 1937 (the "Mortgage") from Lessee to Irving Trust
Company, as Trustee, as supplemented. No such Mortgage, lien, charge,
encumbrance, assignment or sublease shall relieve Lessee of any of its
obligations, liabilities or duties hereunder which shall be and remain those of
a principal and not a guarantor.
SECTION 10. LIENS.
Lessee agrees that it will keep the Unit free and clear of any and
all liens, charges and encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances or liens,
charges or encumbrances which result from acts of Lessor or secure obligations
of Lessor and, without limiting the foregoing, Lessee covenants and agrees that
it Will keep the Unit free and clear of any liens, rights of distraint, charges,
encumbrances or claims of the owner or owners of any interest in the real estate
on which the Unit is installed and any purchaser of or present or future
creditor obtaining a lien on such real estate, and will obtain and deliver
concurrently with delivery of the Unit such waivers of any of the foregoing in
recordable form satisfactory to Lessor as are necessary to so maintain the Unit
free and clear as aforesaid.
SECTION 11. OWNERSHIP AND MARKING.
31
Lessee acknowledges and agrees that it has not, and by the execution
hereof it does not and will not have or obtain, any title to the Unit, nor any
property right or interest, legal or equitable, therein, except solely as Lessee
hereunder and subject to all the terms hereof.
It is expressly understood that the Unit shall be and remain personal
property notwithstanding the manner in which the Unit may be attached or affixed
to realty, and that upon termination of the lease term Lessee shall have the
duty in accordance with Section 16(a) hereof, and Lessor shall have the right to
remove the Unit from the premises whereon the same are located whether or not
affixed or attached to the realty or any building at the sole cost and expense
of Lessee. Lessor shall not be liable for any damage caused to the realty or any
building by the removal of the Unit.
Lessee covenants and warrants that prior to or concurrently with the
completion of the Unit Lessee will cause the Unit to be plainly, permanently and
conspicuously marked by stenciling or by a metal tag or plate affixed thereto
with the following legend:
"Leased from ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, as Lessor and
Trustees for Computer Financial Corporation; ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo
Bank, N.A. and ▇. ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, as Security Trustees."
Lessee covenants and agrees to replace any such stenciling, tag or plate and
sign or marker which may be removed or destroyed or become illegible and to
indemnify Lessor, Agent, the Trustor and beneficiary under the Trust Agreement
and the Security Trustees against any liability, loss or expense incurred by any
of them as a result of the failure to maintain such markings.
SECTION 12. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES: NET LEASE.
Lessee acknowledges and agrees that (i) if the Unit or components
thereof are undelivered on the date hereof, Lessee shall have the duty and sole
responsibility to arrange for such delivery and Lessor shall have no duty or
obligation with respect thereto, (ii) the Unit is of a size, design, capacity
and manufacture selected by Lessee, (iii) Lessee is satisfied that the same is
suitable for its purposes, (iv) Lessor is not a manufacturer nor a dealer in

such site and the rights of ownership in such site at the time the Unit becomes
subject to this Lease and to all applicable zoning regulations, restrictions,
laws and ordinances, building restrictions and other laws and governmental
regulations now in effect or hereafter adopted and in the state and condition of
every part thereof when the same first become subject to this Lease, without
representation or warranty of any kind by Lessor, and (vi) AS BETWEEN LESSOR AND
LESSEE, LESSOR LEASES THE UNIT, AS-IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION EITHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO (A) THE FITNESS OR MERCHANTABILITY OF THE UNIT, (B)
LESSOR'S TITLE THERETO, (C) LESSEE'S RIGHT TO THE QUIET ENJOYMENT THEREOF, OR
(D) ANY OTHER MATTER WHATSOEVER, IT
32
BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS, AS BETWEEN LESSOR AND LESSEE, ARE TO BE BORNE
BY LESSEE.
This Lease is a net lease and Lessee shall not be entitled to any
abatement of rent or reduction thereof, including, but not limited to,
abatements or reductions due to any present or future claims of Lessee against
Lessor under this Lease or otherwise or against the manufacturer of the Unit,
nor except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall this Lease terminate,
or the respective obligations of Lessor or Lessee be otherwise affected, by
reason of any defect in or failure of title of Lessor to the Unit or any defect
in or damage to or loss or destruction of the Unit from whatsoever cause, the
taking or requisitioning of the Unit by condemnation or otherwise, the
prohibition of Lessee's use of the Unit, the interference with such use by any
private person or corporation, the invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due
authorization or other infirmity of this Lease, or lack of right, power or
authority of Lessor to enter into this Lease, or for any other cause whether
similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any present or future law to the
contrary notwithstanding, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the
rents and other amounts payable by Lessee hereunder shall continue to be payable
in all events unless the obligation to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant
to Section 13 hereof, or until the Unit is returned to Lessor or abandoned by
Lessor pursuant to Section 16 hereof.
SECTION 13. CASUALTY OCCURRENCES; PAYMENT FOR UNSERVICEABLE UNITS.
(a) Casualty Occurrence. In the event that the Unit suffers a
Casualty Occurrence, Lessee shall promptly and fully inform Lessor in regard
thereto and Lessee, on the next succeeding Periodic Rent Payment Date following
15 days prior written notice, shall pay to Lessor a sum equal to the Casualty
Value of the Unit as of the date of such payment. Upon receipt by Lessor of such
payment this Lease shall terminate with respect to the Unit (subject to the
requirements of Section 16(d) hereof regarding the disposition of the Unit).
(b) Unserviceable Units. Unless terminated pursuant to Section 13(a)
hereof, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the
Unit throughout the term of this Lease set forth in Section 3 hereof; provided,
however, Lessee may upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to Lessor
terminate this Lease as of the 60th Periodic Rent Payment Date or as of any
succeeding Periodic Rent Payment Date up to and including but not after the 99th
Periodic Rent Payment Date as to the Unit which, in the good faith Judgment of
Lessee as determined by its Board of Directors, shall have become obsolete or
economically unserviceable so as to be no longer useful in the conduct of
Lessee's business upon payment to Lessor of an amount equal to the Termination
Value of the Unit as of the date of such termination. Such notice shall also be
accompanied by a certified copy of the resolutions of the Board of Directors
setting forth the above referred to determination and a written statement of the
President, any Vice President or the Treasurer of Lessee to Lessor setting forth
a summary of the basis for such determination. For the purposes of this Section
13(b), interest rates payable by Lessee for its indebtedness for borrowed money
or finance charges payable by Lessee in
33
connection with the acquisition of its equipment under conditional sales
contracts, leases or other arrangements for deferred payment shall be
disregarded in the determination of economic unserviceability.
(c) Rent Termination. Upon (but not until) payment of the Casualty
Value or, as the case may be, the Termination Value in respect of the Unit, the
obligation to pay rent for the Unit (including any rent installment due on the
Casualty Value or Termination Value payment date) shall terminate. Lessee shall
for the Unit pay when due all rent payments due therefor prior to the date on
which the Casualty Value or, as the case may be, the Termination Value, thereof
is payable.
(d) Certain Government Requisitions. In the event that during the
term of this Lease the use of the Unit is requisitioned or taken by any
governmental authority under the power of eminent domain or otherwise for a
period which does not exceed the remaining term of this Lease, Lessee's duty to
pay rent shall continue for the duration of such requisitioning or taking.
Unless an Event of Default (or other event which with the lapse of time or
giving of notice, or both, would become an Event of Default) shall have occurred
and be continuing Lessee shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own
account all sums payable for any such period by such governmental authority as
compensation for requisition or taking of possession to an amount equal to the
aggregate of the rent paid or payable hereunder for such period and any
compensation for damages suffered by Lessee as a result of Lessee's inability to
meet its commitments under any electric interchange agreement, and the balance,
if any, shall be payable to and retained by Lessor as its sole property. A
requisition or taking for an indefinite period of time shall not be deemed to
exceed the remaining term of this Lease unless and until the period of such
requisition or taking does in fact exceed the remaining term.
(e) Application of Proceeds. Lessor shall be entitled to receive any
proceeds of any claims for damage, insurance or award received on account of a
Casualty Occurrence and any proceeds from the disposition of the Unit in respect
of which this Lease shall be terminated pursuant to Section 13(b) hereof;
provided that unless an Event of Default (or other event which with the lapse of
time or giving of notice, or both, would become an Event of Default) shall have
occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall be entitled to credit for the amount of
such proceeds so received by Lessor against Lessee's obligation to pay the
Casualty Value or Termination Value for the Unit. Following the date on which
the payment of the Casualty Value or Termination Value in respect of the Unit,
Lessee may retain any such proceeds up to but not exceeding any amounts paid by
Lessee to Lessor (other than by such credit) upon such Casualty Value or
Termination Value, but any amount of such proceeds which shall be received by
Lessee in excess of such payments shall be promptly remitted to Lessor. In the
case equipment is substituted pursuant to Section l3(c) hereof, Lessee may,
unless an Event of Default (or other event which with the lapse of time or
giving of notice, or both, would become an Event of Default) shall have occurred
and be continuing, receive and retain for its own account any proceeds of
disposition of the Unit.
SECTION 14. ASSIGNMENTS BY LESSOR.
34
(a) Lessor may assign all of its right, title and interest in this
Lease and/or the rents and other sums at any time due and to become due, or at
any time owing or payable, by Lessee to Lessor under any of the provisions of
the Lease to the Security Trustees. Upon any such assignment, Lessor shall give
written notice thereof to Lessee and thereafter all rents and other sums payable
by Lessee hereunder shall be paid as the Security Trustees direct.
(b) From and after the receipt by Lessee of written notice of such
assignment to the Security Trustees (i) the Security Trustees shall not be
obligated to perform any duty, covenant or condition required to be performed by
Lessor under any of the terms hereof, but on the contrary, Lessee by its
execution hereof acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding any such
assignment each and all such duties, covenants or conditions required to be
performed by Lessor shall survive any such assignment and shall be and remain
the sole liability of Lessor and of every person, firm or corporation succeeding
(by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business assets or goodwill of Lessor. Without limiting
the foregoing, Lessee further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the
Security Trustees in and to the sums payable by Lessee under any provisions of
this Lease shall not be subject to any abatement whatsoever, and shall not be
subject to any defense, set-off, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever whether
by reason of failure of or defect in Lessor's title or any interruption from
whatsoever cause in the use, operation or possession of the Unit or any part
thereof or any damage to or loss or destruction of the Unit or any part thereof
or by reason of any other indebtedness or liability, howsoever and whenever
arising, of Lessor to Lessee or to any other person, firm or corporation or to
any governmental authority or for any cause whatsoever, it being the intent
hereof that Lessee shall be unconditionally and absolutely obligated to pay the
Security Trustees all of the rents and other sums which are the subject matter
of the assignment, and (ii) the Security Trustees shall have the sole right to
exercise all rights, privileges and remedies (either in their own name or in the
name of Lessor for the use and benefit of the Security Trustees) which by the
terms of this Lease or by applicable law are permitted or provided to be
exercised by Lessor.
(c) It is further understood and agreed that the right, title and
interest of the Security Trustees shall by the express terms granting and
conveying the same be subject to the interest of Lessee in and to the Unit.
SECTION 15. DEFAULTS.
In any of the following events ("Events of Default"):
(a) Lessee shall default in the payment of any installment of Rent
or of any Casualty Value or Termination Value payable pursuant to Section
13 hereof and such default shall continue for a period of 5 days after
written notice of such nonpayment by Lessor to Lessee; or
(b) Lessee shall default in the observance or performance of any
35
other covenant required to be observed or performed by Lessee hereunder or
under the terms of the agreement executed and delivered pursuant to Section
4.14 of the Term Loan Agreements and such default shall continue for more
than 30 days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; or
(c) Any representation or warranty made by Lessee herein or in any
statement or certificate furnished to Lessor, the Agent or any assignee
proves untrue in any material respect as of the date of issuance or making
thereof and shall not be made good within 30 days after notice thereof to
Lessee by Lessor; or
(d) Lessee shall default in the payment of principal of or interest
on any obligation of Lessee for borrowed money in the unpaid principal
amount of $2,000,000 or more as and when the same shall become due and
payable by the lapse of time, by declaration, by call for redemption or
otherwise and such default shall continue beyond the period of grace, if
any, allowed with respect thereto; or
(e) Lessee becomes insolvent or bankrupt or admits in writing its
inability to pay its debts as they may mature, or makes an assignment for
the benefit of creditors or applies for or consents to the appointment of a
trustee or receiver for Lessee or for the major part of its property, or
Lessee shall make any voluntary assignment or transfer of Lessee's interest
as Lessee hereunder in a manner or to a person not permitted by the terms
hereof; or
(f) A trustee or receiver is appointed for Lessee, or for the major
part of its property and is not discharged within 30 days after such
appointment; or
(g) Bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangements, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy
law or similar law for the relief of debtors, are instituted by or against
Lessee, and if instituted against Lessee are allowed against Lessee or are
consented to or are not dismissed within 60 days 'after such institution;
Lessor at its option may:
A. Proceed by appropriate court action or actions, either at law or
in equity, to enforce performance by Lessee of the applicable covenants and
terms of the Lease or to recover damages for the breach thereof; or
B. By notice in writing to Lessee, terminate this Lease and/or
Lessee's rights of possession hereunder as to all or any portion of the Unit
whereupon all right, title and interest of Lessee to or in the use of the Unit
shall terminate, and Lessor may, directly or by its agent, enter upon the
premises of Lessee or other premises where the Unit may be located and take
possession thereof (any damages occasioned by such taking of possession being
hereby expressly waived by Lessee) or may, at Lessor's election, require Lessee
at Lessee's expense to deliver the Unit F.O.B. to a common carrier at such
location crated and packed on board such carrier. In the event of any such
termination (i) Lessor shall be entitled to retain all rents and additional sums
36
paid by Lessee hereunder there-tofore paid or received by Lessor, including any
such then in its possession which, had this Lease not been declared in default,
would otherwise be payable to Lessor hereunder, (ii) Lessor may recover from
Lessee all rents and additional sums accrued and unpaid under any of the terms
hereof as of the date of termination and (iii) Lessor may recover from Lessee as
liquidated damages, but not as a penalty, an aggregate sum, which at the time of
such termination, represents the excess, if any, of the then present value of
all Periodic Rent for the Unit which would otherwise have accrued hereunder from
the date of termination to the end of the Term of this Lease over the then
present value of the aggregate fair rental value of the Unit for the balance of
the Term, such present worth to be computed in each case on the basis of 4~ per
annum discount from the respective dates upon which such rents would have been
payable hereunder had this Lease not been terminated as to the Unit. In addition
to the foregoing Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee any and all
damages which Lessor shall sustain by reason of the occurrence of any such Event
of Default, together with a reasonable sum for attorney's fees and such expenses
as shall be expended or incurred in the seizure, rental or sale of the Unit or
in the enforcement of any right or privilege hereunder or in any consultation or
action in connection therewith.
The remedies herein provided in favor of Lessor in an Event of
Default as hereinabove set forth shall not be deemed to be exclusive, but shall
be cumulative and shall be in addition to all other remedies in its favor
existing at law, in equity or in bankruptcy and the election at any time to
enforce any such remedies shall in no way bar the later enforcement from time to
time of such remedies.
SECTION 16. DISPOSITION OF UNITS.
(a) Return to Lessor of Unit. Except in the case this Lease shall
have been previously terminated pursuant to Section 13 hereof, at the end of the
term of this Lease Lessee will surrender possession of the Unit to Lessor at the
place of original installation or at such other place as the Unit shall then be
located pursuant to the consent of Lessor, completely disconnected from fuel and
system connections and ready for removal from any foundation supports, or if so
requested by Lessor, Lessee shall deliver the Unit F.O.B. to a common carrier at
such place of installation or other location, crated and packed on board such
carrier. The Unit shall be fully equipped with an engine owned by Lessor, or
another engine having a value and utility equivalent to or better than the
engine which it replaces, duly installed thereon. At the time of such return the
Unit including the engine installed thereon shall be in as good operating
condition as it was on the date of the Lease Supplement called for by Section
2(c) hereof, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and the engine surrendered with
the Unit shall be in operating condition comparable to airworthy condition for
similar engines used on aircraft as prescribed by the Federal Aviation
Administration, each such engine shall be owned by Lessor or Lessee, as the case
may be, and the Unit and engines so returned shall be free and clear of all
liens and encumbrances of any kind except those resulting from acts of Lessor
and Permitted Encumbrances. In the event any engines not owned by Lessor shall
be surrendered with the Unit as above provided, Lessee, concurrently with such
delivery, will, at its own expense and at no cost to Lessor, furnish Lessor with
a ▇▇▇▇ of sale, in form and substance
37
satisfactory to Lessor, with respect to each such engine and with evidence of
Lessee's title to such engine (including an opinion of Lessee's counsel that
such engine shall be duly and properly titled in Lessor) and shall take such
other action as Lessor may reasonable request. Upon full compliance with the
teens of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) oPound Sterling this section, Lessor will
transfer to Lessee, all oPound Sterling Lessor's right, title and interest in
any engine constituting part of the surrendered Unit but not installed thereon
at the time of surrender for which Lessee has substituted another engine in
compliance with the provisions of this paragraph (a).
(b) Overhaul of Unit. Immediately upon the surrender of the Unit at
the end of the Term, Lessee shall, if Lessor has so requested by written notice
to Lessee, overhaul, or cause to be overhauled, the Unit and the engine
surrendered therewith. As to the Unit, such overhaul shall be done in the same
manner and with the same care as used by owners of similar equipment, and as to
the engine, in the same manner and with the same care as used by owners of
similar engines used to power aircraft. The Unit or engine so overhauled shall
be regarded as a zero-time Unit or a zero-time engine. In the event Lessor shall
request Lessee to overhaul, or cause to be overhauled, any engine as above set
forth, then Lessor shall reimburse Lessee in an amount equal to (i) the
difference between (x) the number of hours that the engine was run by Lessee
since its last overhaul and (y) the average number of hours between overhauls
for all similar engines operated by Lessee during the five year period
immediately preceding the date of surrender, times (ii) the hourly market cost
for overhauling engines as determined in accordance with paragraph (c) below.
(c) "Zero Time" Requirement. Upon the surrender of any engine
pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for
each hour such engine has been run since its last overhaul, including any
overhaul called for by paragraph (b) of this Section, by paying to Lessor an
amount per hour equal to the then current hourly market cost for overhauling
such engine to zero time as of the date of the surrender thereof to be
determined by dividing the current market cost for overhauling such engine by
the average number of hours between overhauls for all similar engines operated
by Lessee during the five year period immediately preceding the said date of
surrender.
(d) Disposition Following Early Termination. Lessee shall, as agent
for Lessor, dispose of the Unit with respect to which a Casualty Occurrence has
occurred or as to which this Lease has otherwise been terminated pursuant to
Section 13(b) hereof as promptly as possible for the best price obtainable. Any
such disposition shall be on an "As-Is", "Where-Is" basis specifically
disclaiming any representation or warranty, express or implied. The proceeds of
such disposition shall be allocated in the manner provided in Section 13(e)
hereof unless an Event of Default (or other event which with the lapse of time
or giving of notice, or both, would become an Event of Default) shall have
occurred and be continuing. In no event shall Lessee, or any person, firm or
corporation controlled by or affiliated with Lessee, be permitted to purchase
for its own account or the account of such person, firm or corporation, the Unit
as to which this Lease has been terminated pursuant to Section l3(b) hereof.
During the period from the date of the Casualty Occurrence or the giving of
notice of
38
termination with respect to the Unit pursuant to Section 13(b) hereof until
final disposition of the Unit, Lessee as agent for Lessor, shall use its best
efforts to obtain bids for the purchase of the Unit. Lessee shall certify to
Lessor in writing the amount of each bid received by Lessee and the name and
address of the party submitting each such bid. Lessor may bid and purchase the
Unit or obtain bids, but shall be under no duty to solicit bids, inquire into
the efforts of Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise take any action in connection
with arranging any sale. In disposing of the Unit, Lessee shall take such action
as Lessor shall reasonably request to terminate any contingent liability which
Lessor might have arising after such disposition.
(e) Right of Abandonment Lessor may, in its sole discretion, elect
to abandon the Unit at the end of the Term of this Lease by delivering written
notice to such effect to Lessee not less than 30 days prior to the end of the
Term. Title to the Unit shall pass to Lessee at the end of the Term of this
Lease and thereafter Lessee shall hold Lessor harmless from any or all
liabilities arising from the ownership thereof.
SECTION 17. CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALE OF ALL ASSETS.
Lessee may merge or consolidate with any other corporation or sell,
lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any
person, firm or corporation, provided that, in the opinion of the Lessor,
Security Trustees and Trustor, the rights and powers of the Lessor or the
Security Trustees shall not be adversely affected by such merger, consolidation,
sale, lease or other disposition and that immediately after any such transaction
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and, provided,
further, that any corporation which is to be the surviving or acquiring
corporation in such transaction, (a) shall be a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, and
(b) shall, by agreement in writing, expressly assume the due and punctual
payment of the rents and other sums due and to become due under this Lease, and
the due and punctual performance and observance of all the covenants and
provisions of this Lease to be performed by Lessee.
SECTION 18. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS; INSPECTION AND LICENSE.
Lessee agrees to maintain a standard and modern system of
accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and will
furnish to Lessor, the Security Trustees and to each holder of 10% or more of
the unpaid principal amount of outstanding Term Notes:
(a) As soon as available and in any event within 60
days after the end of each quarterly period, except the last, of each
fiscal year of Lessee, a balance sheet of Lessee as at the end of such
period and a statement of income and earned surplus of Lessee for the
period beginning on the first day of such fiscal year and ending on the
date of such balance sheet, which statement of income and earned surplus
shall set forth in comparative form the corresponding
39
figures for the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year, all in
reasonable detail and certified by the chief financial officer of Lessee;
(b) As soon as available and in any event within 90
days after the last day of each fiscal year, an audit report certified by
an independent public accountant or firm of independent public accountants
of recognized standing selected by Lessee covering the operations of Lessee
and containing a balance sheet as at the end of such year and statements of
income and earned surplus for such year each on a comparative basis with
corresponding statements for the preceding fiscal year;
(c) Within the periods provided in subsection (b)
above, the written statement of the chief financial officer of Lessee that
Lessee is not in default under any of the terms, covenants, provisions or
conditions of this Lease, or, if such default shall exist, a statement
disclosing the default or defaults and the nature thereof and the action
Lessee proposes to take with respect thereto;
(d) Promptly after their original distribution, copies
of all such financial statements and reports as Lessee shall send to its
stockholders;
(e) Such information and data as Lessor or the
Security Trustees or any holder or holders of 10% or more of the unpaid
principal amount of outstanding Term Notes may from time to time reasonably
request as to location and the existence and status of any claims for
damages (whether against the Unit or against Lessor or Lessee) arising out
of the use, operation or condition of the Unit, the taxes of the nature
provided to be paid by Lessee under Section 5(a) hereof which have been
assessed and the amount of such taxes paid, and such other data pertinent
to the Unit and the condition, use, repair and operation thereof as any
such party from time to time may reasonably request. Without limiting the
foregoing Lessee agrees that, without any such request, it will furnish
Lessor and the Security Trustees with prompt written notice of any material
damage, loss, theft or destruction, partial or complete', of the Unit; and
(f) Such other information as Lessor or the Security
Trustees or any holder or holders of 10% or more of the unpaid principal
amount of outstanding Term Notes may reasonably request concerning Lessee
in order to enable Lessor or the Security Trustees to determine whether the
covenants, terms and provisions of this Lease have been complied with by
Lessee.
Lessee will also permit Lessor and the Security Trustees (or such
persons as Lessor or the Security Trustees or any such holder may designate) to
visit and inspect, under Lessee's guidance, the Unit and any properties of
Lessee and to examine the records or books of account of Lessee and to discuss
the affairs, finances and accounts of Lessee with its officers and independent
accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as Lessor or the Security
Trustees or any such holder may desire. Without limiting the foregoing, Lessee
hereby grants to Lessor and the Security Trustees (or such persons as Lessor or
the Security
40
Trustees may designate) an irrevocable license to enter upon the land where the
Unit is located and to bring upon or across such land such trucks, cranes and
other equipment-handling devices as such parties may deem necessary in
connection with the exercise of Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease.
Lessee covenants and agrees that it will not permit the Unit to be located on
land as to which Lessee lacks a sufficient interest to enable it alone to grant
a valid license as hereinabove done.
SECTION 19. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) No Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or
remedy accruing to Lessor upon any breach of default by Lessee under this Lease
shall impair any such right, power or remedy of Lessor, nor shall any such delay
or omission be construed as a waiver of any breach or default, or of any similar
breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of a single breach
or default be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. All waivers
under this Lease must be in writing. All remedies either under this Lease or by
law afforded to Lessor shall be cumulative and not alternate. Any provision of
this Lease prohibited by law shall be ineffective to the extent of such
provisions without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.
(b) Right of Lessor to Perform. If Lessee shall fail to comply with
the covenants herein contained, including its covenants with respect to the
maintenance of insurance, the payment of taxes, assessments and other charges or
keeping the Unit in repair and free of liens, charges and encumbrances, Lessor
or the Security Trustees may, but shall not be obligated to (1) make advances to
