(i) The payment of the Rental Payments or any portion thereof is not (under the terms of any Lease or any underlying arrangement) directly or indirectly (x) secured by any interest in property used or to be used in any activity carried on by any person other than a state or local governmental unit or payments in respect of such property; or (y) on a present value basis, derived from payments (whether or not to Lessee) in respect of property, or borrowed money, used or to be used in any activity carried on by any person other than a state or local governmental unit.

At the end of the Original Term and at the end of each Renewal Term until the maximum Lease Term has been completed, Lessee shall be deemed to have exercised its option to continue each Lease for the next Renewal Term unless Lessee shall have terminated such Lease pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 10.01. The terms and conditions during any Renewal Term shall be the same as the terms and conditions during the -6-

2210342
Original Term, except that the Rental Payments shall be as provided in the applicable Lease.
Each Schedule signed and delivered by Lessor and Lessee pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a separate and independent lease and installment purchase of the Equipment therein described.
Section 3.02. Continuation of Lease Term.

Lessee affirms that sufficient funds are legally available for the current fiscal year, and Lessee reasonably believes that an amount sufficient to make all Rental Payments during the entire Lease Term of each Lease can be obtained from legally available funds of Lessee.

Section 3.03. Nonappropriation. Lessee is obligated only to pay such Rental Payments under each Lease as may lawfully be made during Lessee's then current fiscal year from funds budgeted and appropriated for that purpose. Should Lessee fail to budget, appropriate or otherwise make available funds to pay Rental Payments under any Lease following the then current Original Term or Renewal Term, such Lease or Leases shall be deemed terminated at the end of the then current Original Term or Renewal Term thereunder. Lessee agrees to deliver notice to Lessor of such termination promptly after any decision to non-appropriate is made, but failure to give such notice shall not extend the term beyond such Original Term or Renewal Term. If any Lease is terminated in accordance with this Section, Lessee agrees to cease use of the Equipment thereunder and peaceably remove and deliver to Lessor, at Lessee's sole expense (from legally available funds), such Equipment at the location(s) to be specified by Lessor; provided, that Lessee shall pay month-to-month rent at the Contract Rate (or the Taxable Rate if then in effect) set forth in the affected Lease for each month or part thereof that Lessee fails to return the Equipment thereunder pursuant to this Section 3.03.

ARTICLE IV
Section 4.01. Rental Payments. Subject to Section 3.03, Lessee shall promptly pay Rental Payments, in lawful money of the United States of America, to Lessor on the Rental Payment Dates and in such amounts as provided in each Lease.

Standard MELPA BAPCC 415
MELPA (govt)-BAPCC- Anaheim
2210342
administrative late charge of 5% of the amount not timely paid or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is less. Lessee shall not permit the federal government to guarantee any Rental Payments under any Lease. Rental Payments consist of principal and interest components as more fully detailed on the Schedule for each Lease, the interest on which begins to accrue as of the Commencement Date for each such Lease.
Section 4.02. Interest and Principal Components. A portion of each Rental Payment is paid as, and represents payment of, interest, and the balance of each Rental Payment is paid as, and represents payment of, principal. Each Lease shall set forth the principal and interest components of each Rental Payment payable thereunder during the applicable Lease Term.
Section 4.03. Rental Payments to Constitute a Current Expense of Lessee. Lessor and Lessee understand and intend that the obligation of Lessee to pay Rental Payments under each Lease shall constitute a current expense of Lessee payable solely from its general fund or other funds that are legally available for that purpose and shall not in any way be construed to be a debt of Lessee in contravention of any applicable constitutional or statutory limitation or requirement concerning the creation of indebtedness by Lessee, nor shall anything contained in this Agreement or in any Lease constitute a pledge of the general tax revenues, funds or moneys of Lessee.
Section 4.04. Rental Payments to be Unconditional. Except as provided in Section 3.03, the obligations of Lessee to make Rental Payments and to perform and observe the other covenants and agreements contained in each Lease shall be absolute and unconditional in all events without abatement, diminution, deduction, set-off or defense, for any reason, including without limitation any failure of the Equipment, any defects, malfunctions, breakdowns or infirmities in the Equipment, disputes with the Vendor of any Equipment or Lessor, any accident, condemnation or unforeseen circumstances or failure of any Vendor to deliver any Equipment or otherwise perform any of its obligations.
Section 4.05 Tax Covenants. Lessee agrees that it will not take any action that would cause the interest component of Rental Payments to be or to become ineligible for the exclusion from gross income of the owner or owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, nor will it omit to take or cause to be taken, in a timely manner, any action, which omission would cause the interest component of Rental Payments to be or to become ineligible for the exclusion from gross income of the owner or owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. In connection with the foregoing, Lessee hereby agrees that (a) so long as any Rental Payments under a Lease remain unpaid, moneys on deposit in the Escrow Fund under any Escrow Agreement related to such Lease shall not be used in a manner that will cause such Lease to be classified as an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code; and (b) Lessee shall rebate, from funds legally available for the purpose, an amount equal to excess earnings on the Escrow Fund under any Escrow Agreement to the federal government if required by, and in accordance with, Section 148(f) of the Code, and make the determinations and maintain the records required by the Code.

Section 4.06. Event of Taxability. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Taxability with respect to a Lease, the interest component of Rental Payments under such Lease and any charge on Rental Payments or other amounts payable based on the Contract Rate shall have accrued and be payable at the Taxable Rate applicable to such Lease retroactive to the date as of which the interest component is determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be includible in the gross income of the owner or owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, and Lessee will pay such additional amount as will result in the owner receiving the interest component at the Taxable Rate identified in the related Lease.
For purposes of this Section, "Event of Taxability" means the circumstance of the interest component of any Rental Payment paid or payable pursuant to a Lease becoming includible for federal income tax purposes in an owner's gross income as a consequence of any act, omission or event whatsoever, including but not limited to the matters described in the immediately succeeding sentence, and regardless of whether the same was within or beyond the control of Lessee. An Event of Taxability shall be presumed to have occurred upon (a) the receipt by Lessor or Lessee of an original or a copy of an Internal Revenue Service Technical Advice Memorandum or Statutory Notice of Deficiency or other written correspondence which legally holds that the interest component of any Rental Payment under such Lease is includable in the gross income of the owner thereof; (b) the issuance of any public or private ruling of the Internal Revenue Service that the interest component of any Rental Payment under such Lease is includable in the gross income of the owner thereof; or (c) receipt by Lessor or Lessee of a written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of attorneys experienced in matters pertaining to the tax-exempt status of interest on obligations issued by states and their political subdivisions, selected by Lessor and acceptable to Lessee, to the effect that the interest component of any Rental Payment under a Lease has become includable in the gross income of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes. For all purposes of this definition, an Event of Taxability shall be deemed to occur on the date as of which the interest component of any Rental Payment is deemed includable in the gross income of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes.
Section 4.07. Mandatory Prepayment. If Lease Proceeds are deposited into an Escrow Fund, any funds not applied to Equipment Costs and remaining in such Escrow Fund on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the applicable Acquisition Period and (b) the date on which Lessee delivers to the Escrow Agent the executed Disbursement Request to effect the final disbursement to pay (or reimburse) Equipment Costs from such Escrow Fund shall be applied by Lessor on each successive Rental Payment Date thereafter to pay all or a portion of the Rental Payment due and owing in the succeeding twelve (12) months and any remaining amounts shall be applied by Lessor as prepayment to the unpaid principal balance of Rental Payments owing under the related Lease in the inverse order of the Rental Payment Dates.

Section 5.03. Location; Inspection. Once installed, no item of the Equipment will be moved or relocated from the location (or the base location with respect to motor vehicles) specified for it in the related Lease without Lessor's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under a Lease or upon termination of a Lease pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, full and unencumbered legal title to the Equipment shall, at Lessor's option, pass to Lessor, and Lessee shall have no further interest therein. In addition, upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default or such termination, Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor such documents as Lessor may request to evidence the passage of such legal title to Lessor and the termination of Lessee's interest therein, and upon request by Lessor shall deliver possession of the Equipment to Lessor in accordance with Section 3.03 or 12.02, as applicable. Upon payment of all amounts due and owing under a Lease in accordance with Section 10.01 (including upon payment of all Rental Payments and other amounts payable under such Lease), Lessor's security interest or other interest in the Equipment under such Lease shall terminate, and Lessor shall execute and deliver to Lessee such documents as Lessee may request to evidence the termination of Lessor's security interest in the Equipment subject to the related Lease.
Section 6.02. Security Interest. As additional security for the payment and performance of all of Lessee's obligations under each Lease, upon the execution of such Lease, Lessee grants to Lessor a first priority security interest constituting a first lien on (a) the Equipment subject to such Lease, (b) moneys and investments held from time to time in any related Escrow Fund and (c) any and all proceeds of any of the foregoing. Upon the execution of each Lease, Lessee authorizes Lessor to file (and Lessee agrees to execute, if applicable) such notices of assignment, chattel mortgages, financing statements and other documents, in form satisfactory to Lessor, which Lessor deems necessary or appropriate to establish and maintain Lessor's security interest in the Equipment subject to such Lease, any related Escrow Fund and the proceeds thereof, -13-
Standard MELPA BAPCC 415
MELPA (govt)-BAPCC- Anaheim
2210342
including, without limitation, such financing statements with respect to personal property and fixtures under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State and treating such Article 9 as applicable to entities such as Lessee.
Section 6.03. Personal Property; No Encumbrances. Lessee agrees that the Equipment is deemed to be and will remain personal property and will not be deemed to be affixed to or a part of the real estate on which it may be situated, notwithstanding that the Equipment or any part thereof may be or hereafter become in any manner physically affixed or attached to real estate or any building thereon. Lessee shall not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest, charge or other encumbrance of any nature whatsoever on any of the real estate where the Equipment under a Lease is or will be located or enter into any agreement to sell or assign or enter into any sale/leaseback arrangement of such real estate without the prior written consent of Lessor; provided, that if Lessor is furnished with a waiver of interest in the Equipment under such Lease acceptable to Lessor in its discretion from any party taking an interest in any such real estate prior to such interest taking effect, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
ARTICLE VII
Section 7.01. Liens, Taxes, Other Governmental Charges and Utility Charges. Lessee shall keep the Equipment under each Lease free of all levies, liens, and encumbrances except those created by such Lease. The parties to this Agreement contemplate that the Equipment under each Lease will be used for a governmental or proprietary purpose of Lessee and that the Equipment will therefore be exempt from all property taxes. If the use, possession or acquisition of any Equipment is nevertheless determined to be subject to taxation, Lessee shall pay when due all taxes and governmental charges lawfully assessed or levied against or with respect to such Equipment. Lessee shall pay all utility and other charges incurred in the use and maintenance of the Equipment. Lessee shall pay such taxes or charges as the same may become due; provided that, with respect to any such taxes or charges that may lawfully be paid in installments over a period of years, Lessee shall be obligated to pay only such installments as accrue during the Lease Term under the affected Lease. During the Lease Term under each Lease, Lessor will not claim ownership of the Equipment thereunder for the purposes of any tax credits, benefits or deductions with respect to such Equipment.
Section 7.02. Insurance. Lessee shall, during the Lease Term under each Lease, maintain or cause to be maintained (a) casualty insurance naming Lessor and its assigns as loss payee and insuring the Equipment against loss or damage by fire and all other risks covered by the standard extended coverage endorsement then in use in the State, and any other risks reasonably required by Lessor, in an amount at least equal to the greater of (i) the then applicable Prepayment Price under such Lease or (ii) the replacement cost of the Equipment under such Lease; (b) liability insurance naming Lessor and its assigns as additional insured that protects Lessor from liability with limits of at least $5,000,000 for bodily injury and property damage coverage, or such other minimum coverage amount as may be agreed upon between Lessor and Lessee in connection with the execution and delivery of a Lease, in all events under clauses (a) and (b) issued in form -14-
Standard MELPA BAPCC 415
MELPA (govt)-BAPCC- Anaheim
2210342
and amount satisfactory to Lessor and by an insurance company that is authorized to do business in the State and having a financial strength rating by A.M. Best Company of "A-" or better; and (c) worker's compensation coverage as required by the laws of the State. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may self-insure against the risks described in clauses (a) and/or (b) through a government pooling arrangement, self-funded loss reserves, risk retention program or other self-insurance program, in each case with Lessor's prior written consent (which Lessor may grant, withhold or deny in its sole discretion) and provided that Lessee has delivered to Lessor such information as Lessor may request with respect to the adequacy of such self-insurance to cover the risks proposed to be self-insured and otherwise in form and substance acceptable to Lessor. In the event Lessee is permitted, at Lessor's sole discretion, to self-insure as provided in this Section, Lessee shall provide to Lessor a self-insurance letter in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor evidence of such insurance or self-insurance coverage throughout the Lease Term under each Lease. Lessee shall not cancel or modify such insurance or self-insurance coverage in any way that would affect the interests of Lessor without first giving written notice thereof to Lessor at least 30 days in advance of such cancellation or modification.
Section 7.03. Risk of Loss. Whether or not covered by insurance or self-insurance, Lessee hereby assumes all risk of loss of, or damage to and liability related to injury or damage to any persons or property arising from the Equipment under any Lease from any cause whatsoever, and no such loss of or damage to or liability arising from the Equipment under any Lease shall relieve Lessee of the obligation to make the Rental Payments or to perform any other obligation under any Lease. Whether or not covered by insurance or self-insurance, Lessee hereby agrees to reimburse Lessor (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, but only from legally available funds) for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, costs, claims, taxes or damages suffered or incurred by Lessor, regardless of the cause thereof and all expenses incurred in connection therewith (including, without limitation, counsel fees and expenses, and penalties connected therewith imposed on interest received) arising out of or as a result of (a) entering into of this Agreement or any Lease or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) the ordering, acquisition, ownership, use, operation, condition, purchase, delivery, acceptance, rejection, storage or return of any item of the Equipment under any Lease, (c) any accident in connection with the operation, use, condition, possession, storage or return of any item of the Equipment under any Lease resulting in damage to property or injury to or death to any person, and/or (d) the breach of any covenant of Lessee under or in connection with this Agreement or any Lease or any material misrepresentation provided by Lessee under or in connection with this Agreement or any Lease. The provisions of this paragraph shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment of all obligations under any or all Leases or the termination of the Lease Term under any or all Leases for any reason.
Section 7.04. Advances. In the event Lessee shall fail to keep the Equipment in good repair and working order or shall fail to maintain any insurance required by Section 7.02 hereof, Lessor may, but shall be under no obligation to, maintain and repair the Equipment or obtain and maintain any such insurance coverages, as the case may be, and pay the cost thereof. All amounts so advanced by Lessor shall constitute additional rent for the then current Original Term -15-
Standard MELPA BAPCC 415
MELPA (govt)-BAPCC- Anaheim
2210342
or Renewal Term under the affected Lease, and Lessee covenants and agrees to pay such amounts so advanced by Lessor with interest thereon from the due date until paid at a rate equal to the Contract Rate (or the Taxable Rate if then in effect) plus 5% per annum or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is less.
ARTICLE VIII
Section 8.01. Damage, Destruction and Condemnation. If, prior to the termination of the Lease Term under the related Lease, (a) the Equipment or any portion thereof is destroyed, in whole or in part, or is damaged by fire or other casualty or (b) title to, or the temporary use of, the Equipment or any part thereof shall be taken under the exercise or threat of the power of eminent domain by any governmental body or by any person, firm or corporation acting pursuant to governmental authority, (i) Lessee and Lessor will cause the Net Proceeds of any insurance claim or condemnation award or sale under threat of condemnation to be applied to the prompt replacement, repair, restoration, modification or improvement of the Equipment or such part thereof and any balance of the Net Proceeds remaining after such work has been completed shall be paid to Lessee or (ii) Lessee shall exercise its option to prepay the obligations under the affected Lease in accordance with Section 10.01(b).
If Lessee elects to replace any item of the Equipment (the "Replaced Equipment") pursuant to this Section, the replacement equipment (the "Replacement Equipment") shall be of new or of a quality type, utility and condition at least as good as the Replaced Equipment and shall be of equal or greater value than the Replaced Equipment. Lessee shall grant to Lessor a first priority security interest in any such Replacement Equipment. Lessee shall represent, warrant and covenant to Lessor that each item of Replacement Equipment is free and clear of all claims, liens, security interests and encumbrances, excepting only those liens created by or through Lessor, and shall provide to Lessor any and all documents as Lessor may reasonably request in connection with the replacement, including, but not limited to, documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor evidencing Lessor's security interest in the Replacement Equipment. Lessor and Lessee hereby acknowledge and agree that any Replacement Equipment acquired pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute "Equipment" for purposes of this Agreement and the related Lease. Lessee shall complete the documentation of Replacement Equipment on or before the next Rental Payment Date after the occurrence of a casualty event, or be required to exercise its option to prepay the obligations under the related Lease with respect to the damaged equipment in accordance with Section 10.01(b).
For purposes of this Article, the term "Net Proceeds" shall mean the amount remaining from the gross proceeds of any insurance claim or condemnation award or sale under threat of condemnation after deducting all expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in the collection thereof.
Section 8.02. Insufficiency of Net Proceeds. If the Net Proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the cost of any repair, restoration, modification or improvement referred to in Section 8.01, Lessee shall either (a) complete such replacement, repair, restoration, modification or -16-
Standard MELPA BAPCC 415
MELPA (govt)-BAPCC- Anaheim
2210342
improvement and pay any costs thereof in excess of the amount of the Net Proceeds, or (b) pay or cause to be paid to Lessor the amount of the then applicable Prepayment Price under the related Lease, and, upon such payment, the applicable Lease Term shall terminate and Lessor's security interest in the Equipment shall terminate as provided in Section 6.01 hereof. The amount of the Net Proceeds, if any, remaining after completing such repair, restoration, modification or improvement or after paying such Prepayment Price shall be retained by Lessee.
If Lessee shall make any payments pursuant to this Section, Lessee shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from Lessor nor shall Lessee be entitled to any diminution of the amounts payable under Article IV.
ARTICLE IX
Section 9.01. Disclaimer of Warranties. Lessor makes no warranty or representation, either express or implied, as to the value, design, condition, merchantability or fitness for particular purpose or fitness for use of any of the Equipment, or any other warranty or representation, express or implied, with respect thereto and, as to Lessor, Lessee's acquisition of the Equipment under each Lease shall be on an "as is" basis. In no event shall Lessor be liable for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damage in connection with or arising out of this Agreement, any Lease, any Equipment or the existence, furnishing, functioning or Lessee's use of any item, product or service provided for in this Agreement or any Lease.
Section 9.02. Vendor's Warranties. Lessor hereby irrevocably appoints Lessee its agent and attorney-in-fact during the Lease Term under each Lease, so long as Lessee shall not be in default under such Lease, to assert from time to time whatever claims and rights (including without limitation warranties) relating to the Equipment that Lessor may have against a Vendor.
Lessee's sole remedy for the breach of such warranty, indemnification or representation shall be against the applicable Vendors of the Equipment and not against Lessor. Any such matter shall not have any effect whatsoever on the rights and obligations of Lessor with respect to any Lease, including the right to receive full and timely Rental Payments and other payments under each Lease. Lessee expressly acknowledges that Lessor makes, and has made, no representations or warranties whatsoever as to the existence or the availability of such warranties relating to the Equipment.
ARTICLE X
Section 10.01. Prepayment Option. Lessee shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, its obligations under a Lease, at the following times and upon the following terms:
(a) From and after the date specified (if any) in the applicable Schedule (the "Prepayment Option Commencement Date"), on the Rental Payment Dates specified in the related Payment Schedule, upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice, and upon payment in full of the Rental Payments then due and all other amounts then owing under the related Lease plus the then applicable Prepayment Price, which may include a prepayment premium on the unpaid balance as set forth in such Payment Schedule; or -17-
Standard MELPA BAPCC 415
MELPA (govt)-BAPCC- Anaheim
2210342
(b) In the event of substantial damage to or destruction or condemnation of substantially all of the Equipment listed in a Lease, on the day specified in Lessee's notice to Lessor of its exercise of the prepayment option (which shall be the earlier of the next Rental Payment Date or 60 days after the casualty event) upon payment in full to Lessor of the sum of (i) any Rental Payment then due under such Lease plus (ii) the then applicable Outstanding Balance plus (iii) all other amounts then owing hereunder or, in the event such prepayment occurs on a date other than a Rental Payment date, the sum of (x) the Outstanding Balance relating to the Rental Payment immediately prior to the date of such prepayment plus (y) accrued interest on the Outstanding Balance relating to the Rental Payment immediately prior to the date of such prepayment plus (z) all other amounts then owing hereunder; or
(c) Upon the expiration of the Lease Term under a Lease, upon payment in full of all Rental Payments then due and all other amounts then owing under such Lease to Lessor.
After payment of the applicable Prepayment Price and all other amounts owing under a Lease, Lessor's security interests in and to the Equipment under such Lease will be terminated and Lessee will own such Equipment free and clear of Lessor's security interest in such Equipment.
ARTICLE XI
Section 11.01. Assignment by Lessor. (a) Lessor's right, title and interest in and to Rental Payments and any other amounts payable by Lessee under any and all of the Leases and the Escrow Agreement relating to any Lease and its security interest in the Equipment subject to the related Lease and in any related Escrow Fund, and all proceeds therefrom, may be assigned and reassigned by Lessor at any time, in whole or in part, to one or more assignees or subassignees without the necessity of obtaining the consent of Lessee; provided, that any such assignment, transfer or conveyance (i) shall be made only to investors each of whom Lessor reasonably believes is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A(a)(1) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an "accredited investor" as defined in Section 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in either case is purchasing a Lease (or any interest therein) for its own account with no present intention to resell or distribute such Lease (or interest therein), subject to each investor's right at any time to dispose of the related Lease or any interest therein as it determines to be in its best interests, (ii) shall not result in more than 35 owners of Lessor's rights and interests under a Lease or the creation of any interest in a Lease in an aggregate principal component that is less than the lesser of $100,000 or the then aggregate unpaid principal component of such Lease and (iii) shall not require Lessee to make Rental Payments, send notices or otherwise deal with respect to matters arising under a Lease with or to more than one Lease Servicer (as such term is defined below), and any trust agreement, participation agreement or custodial agreement under which multiple ownership interests in a Lease are created shall provide the method by which the owners of such interests shall establish the rights and duties of a single entity, trustee, owner, -18-
Standard MELPA BAPCC 415
MELPA (govt)-BAPCC- Anaheim
2210342
servicer or other fiduciary or agent acting on behalf of all of the assignees (herein referred to as the "Lease Servicer") to act on their behalf with respect to the rights and interests of Lessor under the related Lease and Escrow Agreement, including with respect to the exercise of rights and remedies of Lessor on behalf of such owners upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or an Event of Non-appropriation under the related Lease. Lessor and Lessee hereby acknowledge and agree that the restrictions and limitations on transfer as provided in this Section 11.01 shall apply to the first and subsequent assignees and sub-assignees of any of Lessor's right, title and interest in, to and under a Lease (or any interest therein). (b) Unless to an affiliate controlling, controlled by or under common control with Lessor, no assignment, transfer or conveyance permitted by this Section 11.01 shall be effective as against Lessee until Lessee shall have received a written notice of assignment that discloses the name and address of each such assignee; provided, that if such assignment is made to a bank or trust company as trustee or paying agent for owners of certificates of participation, participation interests, trust certificates or partnership interests with respect to the Rental Payments payable under a Lease, it shall thereafter be sufficient that Lessee receives notice of the name and address of the bank, trust company or other entity that acts as the Lease Servicer for such Lease. Notices of assignment provided pursuant to this Section 11.01(b) shall contain a confirmation of compliance with the transfer requirements imposed by Section 11.01(a) hereof.
During the Lease Term under each Lease, Lessee shall keep, or cause to be kept, a complete and accurate record of all such assignments in form necessary to comply with Section 149 of the Code. Lessee shall retain all such notices as a register of all assignees and shall make all payments to the assignee or assignees or Lease Servicer last designated in such register. Lessee shall not have the right to and shall not assert against any assignee any claim, counterclaim or other right Lessee may have against Lessor or a Vendor. Assignments in part may include, without limitation, assignment of all of Lessor's security interest in and to the Equipment listed in a particular Lease and all rights in, to and under the Lease related to such Equipment and all of Lessor's security interest in and to the Escrow Fund, or all rights in, to and under the Escrow Agreement. The option granted in this Section may be separately exercised from time to time with respect to the Equipment listed in each Lease, but such option does not permit the assignment of less than all of Lessor's interests in the Equipment listed in a single Lease. (c) If Lessor notifies Lessee of its intent to assign a Lease, Lessee agrees that it shall execute and deliver to Lessor a Notice and Acknowledgement of Assignment with respect to such Lease, substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached to this Agreement, within five (5) business days after its receipt of such request.
Section 11.02. Assignment and Subleasing by Lessee. None of Lessee's right, title and interest in, to and under any Lease or any portion of the Equipment, any Escrow Agreement or the Escrow Fund relating thereto may be assigned, encumbered or subleased by Lessee for any reason, and any purported assignment, encumbrance or sublease without Lessor's prior written consent shall be null and void.

ARTICLE XII
Section 12.01. Events of Default Defined. Any of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" under a Lease:
(a) Failure by Lessee to (i) pay any Rental Payment or other payment required to be paid under any Lease within 10 days of the date when due as specified therein or (ii) maintain insurance as required under such Lease (including Section 7.02 incorporated therein);
(b) Failure by Lessee to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement or such Lease on its part to be observed or performed, other than as referred to in subparagraph (a) above, for a period of 30 days after written notice specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied is given to Lessee by Lessor, unless Lessor shall agree in writing to an extension of such time prior to its expiration; provided that, if the failure stated in the notice cannot be corrected within the applicable period, Lessor will not unreasonably withhold its consent to an extension of such time if corrective action is instituted by Lessee within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected; (c) Any statement, representation or warranty made by Lessee in or pursuant to any Lease or its execution, delivery or performance shall prove to have been false, incorrect, misleading or breached in any material respect on the date when made; (d) Any default occurs under any other agreement for borrowing money, lease financing of property or otherwise receiving credit under which Lessee is an obligor, if such default (i) arises under any other agreement for borrowing money, lease financing of property or provision of credit provided by Lessor or any affiliate of Lessor (including, without limitation, the occurrence of any event of default under any other Lease), or (ii) arises under any obligation under which there is outstanding, owing or committed an aggregate amount in excess of $100,000;
(e) Lessee shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of Lessee, or of all or a substantial part of the assets of Lessee, (ii) be unable, fail or admit in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iv) file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a petition or an answer seeking reorganization or an arrangement with creditors or taking advantage of any insolvency law or any answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against Lessee in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding; or
(f) An order, judgment or decree shall be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction, approving a petition or appointing a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator for Lessee or of all or a substantial part of the assets of Lessee, in each case without its -20-

MELPA (govt)-BAPCC- Anaheim
2210342
application, approval or consent, and such order, judgment or decree shall continue unstayed and in effect for any period of 30 consecutive days.
Section 12.02. Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default exists under a Lease, Lessor shall have the right, at its sole option without any further demand or notice, to take one or any combination of the following remedial steps:
(a) By written notice to Lessee, Lessor may declare all Rental Payments payable by Lessee pursuant to such Lease and other amounts payable by Lessee under such Lease to the end of the then current Original Term or Renewal Term to be due; (b) With or without terminating the Lease Term under such Lease, Lessor may enter the premises where the Equipment listed in such Lease is located and retake possession of such Equipment or require Lessee at Lessee's expense to promptly return any or all of such Equipment to the possession of Lessor at such place within the United States as Lessor shall specify, and sell or lease such Equipment or, for the account of Lessee, sublease such Equipment, continuing to hold Lessee liable, but solely from legally available funds, for the difference between (i) the Rental Payments payable by Lessee pursuant to such Lease and other amounts related to such Lease or the Equipment listed therein that are payable by Lessee to the end of the then current Original Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, and (ii) the net proceeds of any such sale, leasing or subleasing (after deducting all expenses of Lessor in exercising its remedies under such Lease, including without limitation all expenses of taking possession, storing, reconditioning and selling or leasing such Equipment and all brokerage, auctioneer's and attorney's fees), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 3.03. The exercise of any such remedies respecting any such Event of Default shall not relieve Lessee of any other liabilities under any other Lease or with respect to the Equipment listed therein; (c) Lessor may terminate the Escrow Agreement relating to such Lease and apply any proceeds in the Escrow Fund thereunder to the Rental Payments due under such Lease; and
(d) Lessor may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to enforce its rights under such Lease or the Escrow Agreement relating thereto or as a secured party in any or all of the Equipment subject to such Lease or with respect to the related Escrow Fund.
Section 12.03. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lessor is intended to be exclusive and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under a Lease now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle -21-
Standard MELPA BAPCC 415
MELPA (govt)-BAPCC- Anaheim
2210342
Lessor to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article it shall not be necessary to give any notice other than such notice as may be required in this Article.
Section 12.04. Application of Moneys. Any net proceeds from the exercise of any remedy under this Agreement, including the application specified in Section 12.02(b)(ii) (after deducting all expenses of Lessor in exercising such remedies including without limitation all expenses of taking possession, storing, reconditioning and selling or leasing Equipment and all brokerage, auctioneer's or attorney's fees), shall be applied as follows:
(a) If such remedy is exercised solely with respect to a single Lease, Equipment listed in such Lease or rights thereunder, then to amounts due pursuant to such Lease and other amounts related to such Lease or such Equipment. (b) If such remedy is exercised with respect to more than one Lease, Equipment listed in more than one Lease or rights under more than one Lease, then to amounts due pursuant to such Leases pro rata.
ARTICLE XIII
Section 13.01. Notices. All notices, certificates or other communications under any Lease shall be sufficiently given and shall be deemed given when delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or delivered by overnight courier, or sent by facsimile transmission (with electronic confirmation) to the parties hereto at the addresses immediately after the signatures to this Agreement (or at such other address as either party hereto shall designate in writing to the other for notices to such party) and to any assignee at its address as it appears on the registration books maintained by Lessee.
Section 13.02. Binding Effect. Each Lease shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon Lessor and Lessee and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 13.03. Severability. In the event any provision of any Lease shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision thereof.

Section 13.05. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and each Lease may be simultaneously executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument, provided that only Counterpart No. 1 of each Lease (including the terms and provisions of this Agreement incorporated therein by reference) shall constitute chattel paper for purposes of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code.
