LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Aircraft, Inc. ("Lessor") and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications, LLC, a Delaware

Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases from
Lessor the aircraft described on Schedule "B" attached hereto, together with all
engines, equipment, attachments, substitutions, replacements and additions
(collectively, the "Aircraft").

dated September 13, 2001, among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Headquarters Building Company, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Technology Center, LLC, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications, LLC. Capitalized terms not
otherwise specifically defined in this Lease shall have the meanings described
for such capitalized terms as contained in the Credit Agreement dated as of
September 8, 1999 (the "Credit Agreement") among Lessee, Bank of America, N.A.,
The Chase Manhattan Bank and other parties (and capitalized terms contained
within such definitions as set forth in the Credit Agreement shall similarly
have the meanings described for such capitalized terms therein) with respect to
the financial covenants therein. A copy of the Credit Agreement is attached
hereto as Exhibit I. Lessee shall provide copies of any amendments or
restatements or waivers to the Credit Agreement to Lessor within five (5) days
of execution thereof. Such amendments or restatements or waivers shall
automatically become a part hereof with respect to the financial covenants.
2. Term and Rent: This Lease is for a term of ten (10) years, beginning
September 13, 2001, and ending September 1, 2011. For said term or any portion
thereof, Lessee shall pay to Lessor rentals ("Rent") payable in accordance with
Schedule "A", of which the first is due October 1, 2001, and the others on a
like date of each month thereafter. All Rent shall be paid at Lessor's place of
business shown below, or such other place as the Lessor may designate by written
notice to the Lessee. All Rent shall be paid without notice or demand and
without abatement, deduction or set-off of any amount whatsoever. The operation
and use of the Aircraft shall be at the risk of Lessee, and not of Lessor and
the obligation of Lessee to pay Rent hereunder shall be unconditional.
2.1 Late Charge; Interest: If any Rent payable to Lessor is
not paid when due, Lessee shall pay Lessor on demand, as an Additional
Charge, (a) a late charge equal to (i) two percent (2%) of the amount
not paid within five (5) days of the date when due plus (b) if such
Rent (including the late charge) is not paid within ten (10) days of
the date due, interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from such tenth
(10th) day until such Rent (including the late charge and interest) is
paid in full.
3. Destruction of Aircraft: If the Aircraft is lost, stolen, totally
destroyed, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any
reason whatsoever, the liability of the Lessee to pay Rent therefor may be
discharged by paying to Lessor all the Rent due thereon, plus all the Rent to
become due thereon less the net amount of the recovery, if any, actually
received by Lessor from insurance or otherwise for such loss or damage. Lessor
shall not be obligated to undertake, by litigation or otherwise, the collection
of any claim against any person for loss or damage of the Aircraft. Except as
expressly provided in this paragraph, the total or partial destruction of the
Aircraft, or total or partial loss of use or possession thereof to Lessee, shall
not release or relieve Lessee from the duty to pay the Rent herein provided.
4. No Warranties by Lessor; Compliance with Laws and Insurance: Lessor,
not being the manufacturer of the Aircraft, nor manufacturer's agent, makes no
warranty or representation, either express or implied, as to the fitness,
quality, design, condition, capacity, suitability, merchantability or
performance of the Aircraft or of the material or workmanship thereof, or that
the Aircraft will satisfy the requirements of any law, rule, specification or
contract, it being agreed that the Aircraft is leased "as is" and that all such
risks, as between the Lessor and the Lessee, are to be borne by the Lessee at
its sole risk and expense, Lessee accordingly agrees not to assert any claim
whatsoever against the Lessor based thereon. Lessee further agrees, regardless
of cause, not to assert any claim whatsoever against the Lessor for loss of
anticipatory profits or consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages.
Lessor shall have no obligation to test or service the Aircraft. Lessee agrees,
at its own cost and expense, (a) to pay all charges and expenses in connection
with the operation of the Aircraft; (b) to comply with all governmental laws,
ordinances, regulations, requirements and rules with respect to the use and
operation of the Aircraft; and (c) to maintain at all times (i) Aircraft hull
insurance, including all-risk ground and flight insurance on the Aircraft for
the stated value thereof (not to be less than the full current market value as
determined annually by the parties) for the term of this Lease, plus other
insurance thereon in amounts and against such risks as Lessor may specify, and
deliver each policy to Lessor with a standard long form endorsement attached
thereto showing loss payable to Lessor as its interest may appear, and (ii)
combined single limit liability insurance covering bodily injury liability,
property damage liability and passenger liability for the term of this Lease
naming Lessor its parent and affiliates as additional insureds to the full
extent of the policies carried, but in no event less than $200,000,000.00 per
occurrence. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor evidence of such insurance coverage.
All insurance policies must provide that no cancellation or non-renewal thereof
shall be effective without 30 days prior written notice to Lessor and all
insurance policies shall be in form, terms and amounts and with insurance
carriers satisfactory to Lessor.
2
5. Maintenance. Lessee, at its cost and expense, shall:
5.1 perform or cause to be performed all airworthiness
directives, mandatory manufacturer's service bulletins, and all other
mandatory service, inspections, repair, maintenance, overhaul and
testing: (a) as may be required under applicable Federal Aviation
Administration (the "FAA") rules and regulations, (b) in the same
manner and with the same care as shall be the case with similar
aircraft and engines owned by or operated on behalf of Lessee without
discrimination, and (c) so as to keep the Aircraft in as good operating
condition as when delivered to the Lessee, ordinary wear and tear
excepted, with all systems in good operating condition;
5.2 keep the Aircraft in such condition as is necessary to
enable the airworthiness certification of the Aircraft to be maintained
at all times under applicable FAA regulations and any other applicable
law, including, but not limited to any equipment modifications or
installations required by the FAA;
5.3 maintain, in the English language, all records and other
materials required by and in a manner acceptable to the FAA and any
other governmental entity having jurisdiction over the Aircraft and its
operation;
5.4 Lessee shall furnish Lessor reports on an annual basis a
list of those service bulletins, airworthiness directives and
engineering modifications incorporated on the Aircraft during the
preceding calendar year.
6. Taxes: Lessee agrees that, during the term of this Lease, in
addition to the Rent and all other amounts provided herein to be paid, it will
promptly pay all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges (including
penalties and interest, if any, and fees for titling or registration, if
required) levied or assessed: (a) upon the interest of the Lessee in the
Aircraft or upon the use or operation thereof or on the earnings arising
therefrom; and (b) against Lessor on account of its acquisition or ownership of
the Aircraft, or the use or operation thereof or the leasing thereof to the
Lessee, or the Rent herein provided for, or the earnings arising therefrom,
exclusive, however, of any taxes based on net income of Lessor ("Taxes"). Lessee
agrees to file, on behalf of Lessor, all required tax returns and reports
concerning the Aircraft with all appropriate governmental agencies, and within
not more than 45 days after the due date of such filing to send Lessor
confirmation, in form satisfactory to Lessor, of such filing.
6.1 Lease Characterization: Lessor and Lessee agree that the
terms of this Lease create an operating lease for federal and state
income tax purposes. Consistent with the foregoing, Lessor intends to
retain all tax benefits associated with this Lease and Lessee agrees
not to take an inconsistent position on its federal or state income tax
filings. If any
3
action taken by one party under this Lease causes this Lease to be
ultimately determined by any taxing authority not to be an operating
lease, that party shall indemnify the other party for any resulting
increase in the other party's federal or state income tax liability for
any period.
6.2 Permitted Contests: Lessee, on its own or on Lessor's
behalf or in Lessor's name, but at Lessee's sole cost and expense,
shall have the right to contest, by an appropriate legal proceeding
conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity
of any levy or assessment of Taxes provided (a) prior notice of such
contest is given to Lessor, (b) the Aircraft would not be in any danger
of being sold, forfeited or attached as a result of such contest, and
there is no risk to Lessor of a loss of or interruption in the payment
of Rent, (c) in the case of unpaid Taxes, collection thereof is
suspended during the pendency of such contest, and (d) compliance may
legally be delayed pending such contest. Upon request of Lessor, Lessee
shall deposit funds or assure Lessor in some other manner reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor that the Taxes, together with interest and
penalties, if any, thereon, and any and all costs for which Lessee is
responsible will be paid if and when required upon the conclusion of
such contest. Lessee shall defend, indemnify and save harmless Lessor
from all costs or expenses arising out of or in connection with any
such contest, including but not limited to payment of Taxes and
attorneys' fees. If at any time Lessor reasonably determines that
payment of the Taxes contested by Lessee is necessary in order to
prevent loss of the Aircraft or Rent or civil or criminal penalties or
other damage, upon such prior notice to Lessee as is reasonable in the
circumstances Lessor may pay such amount or take such other action as
it may deem necessary to prevent such loss or damage. If reasonably
necessary, upon Lessee's written request Lessor, at Lessee's expense,
shall cooperate with Lessee in a permitted contest, provided Lessee
upon demand reimburses Lessor for Lessor's costs incurred in
cooperating with Lessee in such contest.
7. Lessor's Right of Inspection and Identification of Aircraft: All
equipment, engines, radios, accessories, instruments and parts now or hereafter
used in connection with the Aircraft shall become part of the Aircraft by
accession. Lessor warrants that the Aircraft is not registered under the laws of
any foreign country. Lessee shall permit Lessor or its designee, on 5 days prior
written notice to visit and inspect the Aircraft, its condition, use and
operation, and the records maintained in connection therewith, at any reasonable
time without interfering with the normal operation of the Aircraft, at Lessor's
cost and expense, provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing. Lessor shall have no duty to make any such inspection and shall
not incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making any such
inspection. Lessor's failure to object to any condition or procedure observed or
observed in the course of an inspection hereunder shall not be deemed to waive
or modify any of the terms of this Lease with respect to such condition or
procedure.
4
8. Possession and Place of Use: The Aircraft shall be based at the
location specified in Schedule "B", and shall not be permanently removed
therefrom without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessee shall not, without
Lessor's prior written consent, (a) part with possession or control of the
Aircraft, (b) attempt or purport to sell, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber
the Aircraft or otherwise dispose of or encumber any interest under this Lease,
or (c) fly or permit the Aircraft to be flown or located outside the area
covered by insurance required by paragraph 3 of this Lease.
9. Lessee's Warranties: Lessee warrants that the Aircraft will be
registered under the laws of the United States and will not be registered under
the laws of any foreign country; that the Aircraft and/or equipment will not be
held, maintained or used in violation of any law, regulation, ordinance or
policy of insurance affecting the maintenance, use or flight of Aircraft. These
warranties are conditions of Lessee's right of possession and use, and delivery
is made in reliance thereon.
10. Performance of Obligations of Lessee by Lessor: In the event that
Lessee shall fail duly and promptly to perform any of its obligations under the
provisions of this Lease, Lessor may, at its option, perform the same for the
account of Lessee without thereby waiving such default, and any amount paid or
expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees), penalty or other liability
incurred by Lessor in such performance, together with interest at the Overdue
Rate until paid by Lessee to Lessor, shall be payable by Lessee upon demand as
additional rent for the Aircraft.
11. Purchase Option: At any time during the term of this Lease, if
Lessee has paid in full all rentals owing hereunder and is not in default
hereunder, Lessee shall have the option to purchase the Aircraft for an amount
equal to the greater of (1) fair market value of the Aircraft or (2) the
Termination Value in accordance with Schedule "C" plus accrued interest. Lessee
shall give Lessor written notice of its intent to exercise such option not less
than 30 days prior to the transfer of the Aircraft to Lessee. Fair market value
shall be determined by a mutually agreed upon independent aircraft broker. If
the parties cannot agree on the selection of a broker, each party shall
designate a broker. Such selected brokers will then select a third broker to
appraise the Aircraft. Such third party broker appraisal shall be binding upon
the parties.
Lessee shall also have the right to purchase the Aircraft as
of October 1, 2006 ("Early Buy-Out Option") for the Termination Value for such
date in accordance with Schedule "C" plus accrued interest.
Lessee shall also be responsible for all transaction costs associated
with any exercise in accordance with this Section 11.
12. Put Option: Upon the expiration of the original term of this Lease,
Lessor shall have the option to require the Lessee to purchase the Aircraft for
an amount equal to the agreed fair market value of the Aircraft as defined in
Section 11 hereof. Lessor shall provide Lessee written notice of its intent to
exercise such option not less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the
original term of this Lease.
5
Lessee shall also be responsible for all transaction costs associated
with any exercise in accordance with this Section 12.

permits the sale or divestiture of substantially all of its assets;
(e) The estate or interest of Lessee in the Aircraft or any
part thereof is levied upon or attached in any Proceeding and the same is not

Membership Interest Purchase Agreement or in the certificate delivered in
connection therewith shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect when
made or deemed made, Lessor is materially and adversely affected thereby and
Lessee fails within twenty (20) days after Notice from Lessor thereof to cure
such condition by terminating such adverse effect and making Lessor whole for
any damage suffered therefrom, or, if with due diligence such cure cannot be
effected within twenty (20) days, if Lessee has failed to commence to cure the
same within the twenty (20) days or failed thereafter to proceed promptly and
with due diligence to cure such condition and complete such cure prior to the

expressly waiving all further rights to possession of the Aircraft and all
claims for injuries suffered through or loss caused by such repossession; (d)
terminate this Lease, whereupon Lessee shall, without further demand, as
liquidated damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty forthwith pay to

of the occurrence of such event of default, of the aggregate Rent reserved
hereunder for the unexpired term of this Lease and the then value of the
aggregate rental value of the Aircraft for such unexpired term which the Lessor
reasonably estimates to be obtainable for the use of the Aircraft during such
unexpired terms. Should any proceedings be instituted by or against Lessor for
monies due to Lessor hereunder and/or for possession of the Aircraft or for any
other relief, Lessee shall pay a reasonable sum as attorneys' fees. If any
statute governing the proceeding in which damages are to be proved specifies the

be cumulative, and shall be in addition to all other remedies in its favor
existing at law or in equity, and the exercise, or beginning of exercise by
Lessor of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous

8
thereto in accordance with GAAP, (c) such contest effectively suspends

in a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) shall not breach, in any material
respect, or permit to exist any material default under, the terms of
any material lease, commitment, contract, instrument or obligation to
which it is a party, or by which its properties or assets are bound,

with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental

limitation, Environmental Laws and ERISA and the rules and regulations

established by S&P or ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ for the Facilities shall be changed (other than as
