12. LIENS, SUBLEASES AND TAXES.

12.2 Lessee shall pay when due all Taxes which may now or hereafter be imposed upon any Equipment or its ownership, lease, rental, sale, purchase, possession or use, upon any Lease or upon any Rent Payments or any other payments due under any Lease. If Lessee fails to pay such Taxes when due, Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such Taxes. If Lessor pays any such Taxes, then Lessee shall, upon demand, immediately reimburse Lessor therefor. "Taxes" means present and future taxes, levies, duties, assessments or other governmental charges that are not based on the net income of Lessor, whether they are assessed to or payable by Lessee or Lessor, including, without limitation (a) sales, use, excise, licensing, registration, titling, gross receipts, stamp and personal property taxes, and (b) interest, penalties or fines on any of the foregoing.
13. RISK OF LOSS.
13.1 Lessee bears the entire risk of loss, theft, damage or destruction of any Equipment in whole or in part from any reason whatsoever ("Casualty Loss"). No Casualty Loss to any Equipment shall relieve Lessee from the obligation to make any Rent Payments or to perform any other obligation under any Lease. Proceeds of any insurance recovery will be applied to Lessee's obligations under this Section 13.
13.2 If a Casualty Loss occurs to any Equipment, Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of the same and Lessee shall, unless otherwise directed by Lessor, immediately repair the same.
13.3 If Lessor determines that any item of Equipment has suffered a Casualty Loss beyond repair ("Lost Equipment"), then Lessee shall either: (a) immediately replace the Lost Equipment with similar equipment in good repair, condition and working order free and clear of any Liens (except Lessor's Liens), in which event such replacement equipment shall automatically be Equipment under the applicable Lease, and deliver to Lessor true and complete copies of the invoice or bill of sale covering the replacement equipment; or (b) on earlier of 60 days after the Casualty Loss or the next scheduled Rent Payment date (the "Loss Payment Due Date"), pay Lessor (i) all amounts owed by Lessee under the applicable Lease, including the Rent Payments due on or accrued through such date plus (i) an amount equal to the Termination Value as of the Rent Payment date (or if the Casualty Loss payment is due between Rent Payment dates, then as of the Rent Payment date preceding the date that the Casualty Loss payment is due) set forth in the Payment Schedule to the applicable Lease plus (iii) a Break Funding Charge. If Lessee is making such payment with respect to less than all of the Equipment under a Lease, then Lessor will provide Lessee with the pro rata amount of the Rent Payment and Termination Value to be paid by Lessee with respect to the Lost Equipment and a revised Payment Schedule. "Break Funding Charge"
means the sum of the differences between (i) each scheduled interest payment which would have been made on the Termination Value if such Casualty Loss payment had not occurred and (ii) the corresponding fixed-rate interest payment which would be received under an interest rate swap which the Lender shall be deemed to have entered into as of the Loss Payment Due Date (the "Replacement Swap") covering its payment obligations under an interest rate swap which the Lessor shall be deemed to have entered into when the Lease was originally funded, with each such difference discounted to a present value as of the date of payment using the fixed interest rate of the Replacement Swap as the applicable discount rate; the Lessee acknowledges that the Lessor might not fund or hedge its fixed-rate loan portfolio or any prepayment thereof on a loan-by-loan basis at all times, and agrees that the foregoing is a reasonable and appropriate method of calculating liquidated damages for any prepayment irrespective of whether any of the foregoing hedging transactions have in fact occurred or occurred precisely as stated with respect to the Lease; all calculations and determinations by the Lessor of the amounts payable pursuant to the preceding provisions or of any element thereof, if made in accordance with its then standard procedures for so calculating or determining such amounts, shall be conclusive absent manifest arithmetic error.
13.4 Lessee shall bear the risk of loss for, shall pay directly, and shall defend Lessor against any and all claims, liabilities, proceedings, actions, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees), damages or losses arising under or related to any Equipment, including, but not limited to, the possession, ownership, lease, use or opcration thereof. These obligations of Lessee shall survive any expiration or termination of any Lease. Lessee shall not bear the risk of loss of, nor pay for, any claims, liabilities, proceedings, actions, expenses (including attorney's fees), damages or losses which arise directly from events occurring after any Equipment has been returned by Lessee to Lessor in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease or which arise directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor.
14. INSURANCE.
14.1 (a) Lessee at its sole expense shall at all times keep all Equipment insured against all Casualty Losses for an amount not less than the Termination Value of the Equipment. Proceeds of any such insurance covering damage or loss of any Equipment shall be payable to Lessor as lender loss payee. (b) Lessee at its sole expense shall at all times carry public liability and third party property damage insurance in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Lessor protecting Lessee and Lessor from liabilities for injuries to persons and damage to property of others relating in any way to any Equipment. Proceeds of any such public liability or property insurance shall be payable first to Lessor as additional insured to the extent of its liability, and then to Lessee.
14.2 All insurers shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee shall promptly deliver to Lessor satisfactory evidence of required insurance coverage and all renewals and replacements thereof. Each insurance policy will require that the insurer give Lessor at least 30 days prior written notice of any cancellation of such policy and will require that Lessor's interests remain insured regardless of any act, error, misrepresentation, omission or neglect of Lessee. The insurance maintained by Lessee shall be primary without any right of contribution from insurance which may be maintained by Lessor.
15. NO PREPAYMENT. Lessee shall not be permitted to prepay the Rent Payments or any other obligation under a Lease in whole or in part.
16. LESSEE'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
