(k) Compliance with Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements. The operation, use and physical condition of the Property and Equipment are in full compliance with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements, except any Legal Requirements, the non-compliance with which, individually or in the aggregate, (i) will not place either the Lessor or any Assignee in any danger of civil liability for which the Lessor or any Assignee is not adequately indemnified (the Lessee's obligations under Section 11 of this Lease shall be deemed to be adequate indemnification if no Event of Default exists and if such civil liability is reasonably likely to be less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate) or subject the Lessor or any Assignee to any criminal liability as a result of failure to comply therewith, (ii) will not result in a material diminution in the value of any Property or Equipment and (iii) is consistent with prudent business practices.

SECTION 4. OPERATING LEASE. The Lessor and the Lessee hereby declare that it is their mutual intent that for accounting and regulatory purposes this Lease be treated as an operating lease and not an instrument or evidence of indebtedness, and that the relationship between the Lessor and the Lessee under this Lease shall be that of lessor and lessee only. Title to and ownership of any Property or Equipment shall at all times remain in the Lessor and at no time become vested in the Lessee except in accordance with an express provision of this Lease.

(e) The obligations of the Lessee to pay all amounts payable pursuant to this Lease (including specifically and without limitation amounts payable under Sections 7 and 11 hereof) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances of any character, and such amounts shall be paid without notice, demand, defense, setoff, deduction or counterclaim and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction of any kind whatsoever, except as herein expressly otherwise provided. The obligation of the Lessee to lease and pay Basic Rent for any and all Property or Equipment accepted for use pursuant to this Lease is without any warranty or representation, express or implied, as to any matter whatsoever on the part of the Lessor or any Assignee or any Affiliate of either, or anyone acting on behalf of any of them. THE LESSEE HAS SELECTED AND SHALL SELECT ALL PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT ACQUIRED OR ORDERED ON THE BASIS OF ITS OWN JUDGMENT. NEITHER THE LESSOR NOR ANY ASSIGNEE NOR ANY AFFILIATE OF EITHER, NOR ANYONE ACTING ON BEHALF OF ANY OF THEM MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS TO THE SAFETY, TITLE, CONDITION, QUALITY, QUANTITY, FITNESS FOR USE, MERCHANTABILITY, CONFORMITY TO SPECIFICATION, OR ANY OTHER CHARACTERISTIC, OF ANY PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT, OR AS TO WHETHER ANY PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT OR THE OWNERSHIP, USE, OCCUPANCY OR POSSESSION THEREOF COMPLIES WITH ANY LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS OR REQUIREMENTS OF ANY KIND. AS BETWEEN THE LESSEE AND THE LESSOR, ANY ASSIGNEE OR ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON, THE LESSEE ASSUMES ALL RISKS AND WAIVES ANY AND ALL DEFENSES, SET-OFFS, DEDUCTIONS, COUNTERCLAIMS (OR OTHER RIGHTS), EXISTING OR FUTURE, AS TO THE LESSEE'S OBLIGATION TO PAY BASIC RENT AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY RELATING TO: (A) THE SAFETY, TITLE, CONDITION, QUALITY, QUANTITY, FITNESS FOR USE, MERCHANTABILITY, CONFORMITY TO SPECIFICATION, OR ANY OTHER QUALITY OR CHARACTERISTIC OF ANY PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT, LATENT OR NOT; (B) ANY SET-OFF, COUNTERCLAIM, RECOUPMENT, ABATEMENT, DEFENSE OR OTHER RIGHT WHICH THE LESSEE MAY HAVE AGAINST THE LESSOR, ANY ASSIGNEE OR ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF THIS OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION OR MATTER; (C) ANY DEFECT IN TITLE OR OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT OR ANY TITLE ENCUMBRANCE NOW OR HEREAFTER EXISTING WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT; (D) ANY FAILURE OR DELAY IN DELIVERY OR ANY LOSS, THEFT OR DESTRUCTION OF, OR DAMAGE TO, ANY PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OR CESSATION OF THE USE OR POSSESSION OF ANY PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT BY THE LESSEE FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER AND OF WHATEVER DURATION, OR ANY CONDEMNATION, CONFISCATION, REQUISITION, SEIZURE, PURCHASE, TAKING OR FORFEITURE OF ANY PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT, IN WHOLE OR IN PART; (E) ANY INABILITY OR ILLEGALITY WITH RESPECT TO THE USE, OWNERSHIP, OCCUPANCY OR POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT BY THE LESSEE; (F) ANY INSOLVENCY, BANKRUPTCY, REORGANIZATION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING BY OR AGAINST THE LESSEE OR THE LESSOR OR ANY ASSIGNEE; (G) ANY FAILURE TO OBTAIN, OR EXPIRATION, SUSPENSION OR OTHER TERMINATION OF, OR INTERRUPTION TO, ANY REQUIRED LICENSES, PERMITS, CONSENTS, AUTHORIZATIONS, APPROVALS OR OTHER LEGAL REQUIREMENTS; (H) THE INVALIDITY OR UNENFORCEABILITY OF THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INFIRMITY HEREIN OR ANY LACK OF POWER OR AUTHORITY OF THE LESSOR OR THE LESSEE TO ENTER INTO THIS CONTRACT; (I) THE INVALIDITY OR UNENFORCEABILITY OF ANY BILL OF SALE OF ANY PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INFIRMITY THEREIN OR LACK OF POWER OR AUTHORITY OF ANY PARTY THERETO TO ENTER INTO SUCH BILL OF SALE; OR (J) ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES OR HAPPENING WHATSOEVER, WHETHER OR NOT SIMILAR TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING.

Each payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent and any other amount due hereunder made by the Lessee shall be final, and the Lessee, without waiving any other remedies it may have, will not seek or have any right to recover all or any part of such payment from the Lessor or any Assignee for any reason whatsoever. The making of payments under this Lease by the Lessee (including without limitation payments pursuant to Section 11 hereof) shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any claim or claims that the Lessee may assert against the Lessor or any other Person. The Lessor agrees to repay the Lessee amounts paid to the Lessor to the extent such payments were in error and are not required by any of the terms and provisions of this Lease. (f) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Lease, it is specifically understood and agreed that neither the Lessor nor any Assignee nor any Affiliate of either, nor anyone acting on behalf of any of them makes any warranties or representations, or has any responsibility or duty, nor, except as set forth in Section 22 of this Lease, has the Lessor or any Assignee or any Affiliate of either, or anyone acting on behalf of any of them made any covenants or undertakings, as to the accounting treatment to be accorded the Lessee or as to the U.S. Federal or any state income or any other tax consequences, if any, to the Lessee as a result of or by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Lease. (g) In the event the title insurance policy insuring the Lessor's interest in any Parcel of Property would not, in the absence of special insurance by the Lessee, become effective until the date of recordation of the deed, then the Lessee shall furnish such indemnity to the title insurance company as it shall require in order to insure the Lessor's interest in such Parcel of Property, effective as of the Effective Date.

(a) The "Initial Term" with respect to any Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment leased hereunder shall commence on the Effective Date set forth in the Unit Leasing Record or the AFL Unit Leasing Record for such Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment and shall continue for any partial first calendar month plus the number of calendar months set forth opposite such Parcel of Property or type of Equipment under the heading "Initial Term" in Exhibit A hereto, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19 or 20 hereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6, the provisions of Sections 10 and 11 hereof and paragraph (a) of Section 15 hereof shall apply with respect to any Property or Equipment from the time such Property or Equipment is ordered by the Lessee, with the approval of the Lessor, pursuant to procedures supplied by the Lessor. SECTION 7. RENT AND OTHER PAYMENTS. (a) The Lessee hereby agrees to pay the Lessor (i) on each Basic Rent Payment Date, Basic Rent for the calendar month (or part thereof) in which such Basic Rent Payment Date falls, with respect to each Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment leased during any part of such calendar month hereunder for which the Effective Date is before the Lease Rate Date for such calendar month, and (ii) on the Basic Rent Payment Date in the next succeeding calendar month, Basic Rent for any partial first calendar month, with respect to each Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment for which the Effective Date is on or after the Lease Rate Date for such calendar month. (b) The Lessor shall furnish to the Lessee on the 16th day of each calendar month the percentage referred to in paragraph (a)(iii) of the definition of "Basic Rent" in Section 1 hereof for such calendar month, or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (the "Lease Rate Date"). Prior to each Basic Rent Payment Date the Lessor shall furnish the Lessee with a summary of the calculations of Basic Rent payable on such Basic Rent Payment Date. (c) The Lessee hereby agrees to pay on demand all amounts (other than Basic Rent) payable hereunder including, without limitation, all amounts payable to any Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 11 hereof. (d) Without prejudice to the full exercise by the Lessor of its rights under Sections 18 and 19 hereof, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor from time to time, on demand, as additional rent ("Additional Rent") (i) amounts required to reimburse the Lessor for its obligations, costs and expenses (not previously included in Basic Rent) incurred in acquiring, financing (including equity financing) and leasing the Property or Equipment (including, without limitation, all obligations of the Lessor under or in respect of any interest rate swap, cap, collar or other financial hedging arrangement and any amounts payable by the Lessor under any such arrangement to reduce the notional amount thereof by the amount of any prepayment of any borrowing to which such interest rate swap, cap, collar or other financial hedging arrangement relates), and (ii) to the extent legally enforceable, an amount computed by multiplying (A) all sums not paid by the Lessee to the Lessor as provided in this Lease on or before the date such payments are due, by (B) the decimal equivalent of the percentage referred to in paragraph (a)(iii) of the definition of "Basic Rent" as most recently furnished by the Lessor, and by (C) a fraction having a numerator equal to the number of days in the period from but excluding such due date to and including the date of payment thereof and a denominator of 365, or in a leap year, 366. The Lessee shall also pay to the Lessor on demand an amount equal to any expenses incurred by the Lessor in collecting such unpaid sums. (e) Basic Rent and Additional Rent and any other amount payable by the Lessee to the Lessor shall be paid such that immediately available funds in the full amount due are available on the date due, to the account of the Lessor at such bank, or to such account of such other Person at such bank, or otherwise as the Lessor may from time to time designate. (f) During the Lease Term of any Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment, the Lessor shall calculate, on each Lease Rate Date (except the first Lease Rate Date hereunder), the difference, if any, between (i) the Variable Component of Basic Rent paid by the Lessee for the previous calendar month and (ii) an amount equal to what the Variable Component of Basic Rent would have been for such calendar month had the Variable Component of Basic Rent been calculated using the weighted average bond yield equivalent percentage cost per annum on all Commercial Paper of the Lessor outstanding at any time or the weighted average percentage cost per annum of other borrowings outstanding at any time or a blended rate if both Commercial Paper and other borrowings are outstanding at any time (as specified in clauses (A), (B) and (C), respectively, in subparagraph (a)(iii) of the definition of Basic Rent) during the previous calendar month (rather than during the applicable Computation Period); provided, that with respect to the Variable Component of Basic Rent for the last month of the Lease Term, such calculation shall occur on the last day of the Lease Term. On or about August 16, 1995 (or such other date that the Lessor so chooses), and thereafter on or about August 16 of each year, and on the last day of the Lease Term, the Lessor shall furnish to the Lessee a calculation of the aggregate difference between the amounts determined under clause (i) above and the correlating amounts determined under clause (ii) above (the "Reconciliation Amount") for each calendar month since the date of this Lease or each calendar month since the last time the Reconciliation Amount was calculated, whichever is later. The Lessor and the Lessee agree that if the Reconciliation Amount is a positive number, then such amount shall be credited against the amount of Basic Rent that the Lessee is required to pay on the next Basic Rent Payment Date (or Basic Rent Payment Dates, if such amount shall exceed the amount of Basic Rent payable in the next succeeding month), and if the Reconciliation Amount is a negative number, then such amount shall be payable by the Lessee on the next Basic Rent Payment Date in addition to the amount of Basic Rent due and payable on such Basic Rent Payment Date, except that with respect to the Reconciliation Amount computed on the last day of the Lease Term, such amount shall be paid by the Lessor to the Lessee (in the case of a positive number) or by the Lessee to the Lessor (in the case of a negative number) on the last day of the Lease Term. Any notices required by this paragraph (f) which are furnished to the Lessee by the Lessor shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the contents thereof. SECTION 8. RESTRICTED USE; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee may use the Property or Equipment in the regular course of its business for any lawful purpose. The Lessee will not do or permit any act or thing which might impair, other than in the normal use thereof, the value or usefulness of any Property or Equipment. (b) The Lessee shall promptly and duly execute, deliver, file and record, at the Lessee's expense, all such documents, statements, filings and registrations, and take such further action, as the Lessor shall from time to time reasonably request in order to establish, perfect and maintain the Lessor's title to and interest in the Property or Equipment and any Assignee's interest in this Lease or any Property or Equipment as against the Lessee or any third party in any applicable jurisdiction. The Lessee may, after notice in writing to the Lessor and at the Lessee's own cost and expense, change the place of principal location of any Equipment; provided, that prior notice shall not be required in the case of Equipment used for transportation (such as, without limitation, automobiles and trucks), but in such event the Lessee shall notify the Lessor in writing of the change of the principal location of such transportation Equipment not later than thirty (30) days after such change is made; and provided further, that (A) all Pork Production Facility Equipment will be principally located at a Pork Production Facility and all Poultry Production Facility Equipment will be principally located at a Poultry Production Facility and (B) the Lessee will not change the principal location of any Pork Production Facility Equipment or any Poultry Production Facility Equipment until notice of such change in location has been provided to the Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no change of location shall be undertaken unless and until all Legal Requirements shall have been met.

Any payment made to or on behalf of any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 11 shall be increased to such amount as will, after taking into account all taxes imposed with respect to the accrual or receipt of such payment (as the same may be increased pursuant to this sentence), equal the amount of the payment, reduced by the amount of any savings in such taxes actually realized by the Indemnified Person as a result of the payment or accrual of the amounts in respect of which the payment to or on behalf of the Indemnified Person hereunder is made. To the extent that the Lessee in fact indemnifies any Indemnified Person under the indemnity provisions of this Lease, the Lessee shall be subrogated to such Indemnified Person's rights in the affected transaction and shall have a right to determine the settlement of claims therein. The indemnities contained in this Section 11 shall not be affected by any termination of this Lease as a whole or in respect of any Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment leased hereunder or any failure or refusal of the Lessee to accept any Property or Equipment acquired or ordered pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 11 to the contrary, the Lessee shall not indemnity and hold harmless any Indemnified Person against any claims and liabilities arising solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. In the event the Lessor shall be a party defendant to any litigation arising out of any provision contained in this Lease for which the Lessee has given indemnification, the Lessor shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lessee by telephone and in writing and shall consult and cooperate, at the Lessee's expense, with the Lessee, and if the Lessor shall not have appeared or pleaded to any such action then the Lessor does hereby empower any attorney of any court of record appointed by the Lessee (who shall give prompt written notice to the Lessor of such appointment) to appear for the Lessor and in good faith and with due diligence defend such action, to enter counterclaims, to institute actions against third parties and to do all things necessary or desirable in the judgment of such attorney after consultation with the Lessor and the Lessee to preserve the rights of the Lessor and the Lessee, all at the Lessee's own cost and expense. No failure or delay of the Lessor to give the notice required by this Section 11 shall excuse the obligation of the Lessee to indemnify the Lessor with respect to such litigation except to the extent that any increase in liability is a direct result of such failure or delay. SECTION 12. LESSEE'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE. (a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and with respect to any Parcel of Property not undergoing any repairs, additions or alterations, the Lessee shall have the right, upon ninety (90) days' notice to the Lessor, to terminate the lease of any Parcel of Property or any or all Units of Equipment on the Basic Rent Payment Date of the last month of the Initial Term or on any Basic Rent Payment Date during the Extended Term or the Renewal Term, if any, by arranging, at its own cost and expense, for the sale of such Property or Equipment in an arms' length transaction on the date of termination and the receipt by the Lessor of cash in an amount equal to the sale price of such Property or Equipment (the "Cash Proceeds"); provided that, if such sale does not occur, this Lease shall not terminate with respect to such Property and Equipment. The lease of Pork Production Facility Equipment may be terminated pursuant to this Section 12 only in conjunction with a termination pursuant to this Section 12 of the lease of the Pork Production Facility at which such Pork Production Facility Equipment is used, or is to be used, and conversely, upon the termination pursuant to this Section 12 of the lease of a Pork Production Facility, the lease of all of the Pork Production Facility Equipment used, or to be used, in such Pork Production Facility must be terminated pursuant to this Section 12 concurrently therewith. For purposes of this Section 12, in connection with the sale of a Pork Production Facility and the related Pork Production Facility Equipment, the term "Cash Proceeds" shall mean the aggregate cash proceeds from the sale of such Pork Production Facility and Pork Production Facility Equipment and "Adjusted Acquisition Cost" shall mean the aggregate of the Adjusted Acquisition Costs of the Pork Production Facility and the Pork Production Facility Equipment being sold pursuant to this Section 12. The lease of Poultry Production Facility Equipment may be terminated pursuant to this Section 12 only in conjunction with a termination pursuant to this Section 12 of the lease of the Poultry Production Facility at which such Poultry Production Facility Equipment is used, or is to be used, and conversely, upon the termination pursuant to this Section 12 of the lease of a Poultry Production Facility, the lease of all of the Poultry Production Facility Equipment used, or to be used, in such Poultry Production Facility must be terminated pursuant to this Section 12 concurrently therewith. For purposes of this Section 12, in connection with the sale of a Poultry Production Facility and the related Poultry Production Facility Equipment, the term "Cash Proceeds" shall mean the aggregate cash proceeds from the sale of such Poultry Production Facility and Poultry Production Facility Equipment and "Adjusted Acquisition Cost" shall mean the aggregate of the Adjusted Acquisition Costs of the Poultry Production Facility and the Poultry Production Facility Equipment being sold pursuant to this Section 12. At the time a Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment is sold pursuant to this Section 12, such Parcel or Unit shall be in compliance with all Legal Requirements and shall not be subject to any Permitted Contest or any Lien. (b) In the event the Lessee exercises its right to terminate the lease of any Equipment pursuant to this Section 12 on the Basic Rent Payment Date of the last month of the Initial Term with respect to such Equipment or in the event a termination of the lease of any Equipment occurs pursuant to Section 14 hereof and the Basic Rent Payment Date on which such termination occurs is on or before the last month of the Initial Term of such Equipment and the Lessee chooses to effect a sale pursuant to this Section: (i) if the Cash Proceeds are greater than the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of the Equipment sold, the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee the amount by which such Cash Proceeds exceed such Adjusted Acquisition Cost; (ii) if the Cash Proceeds are equal to or less than the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of the Equipment sold, but greater than or equal to 15% of the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of such Equipment, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an amount equal to (A) such Adjusted Acquisition Cost less (B) the Cash Proceeds; and (iii) if the Cash Proceeds are less than 15% of the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of the Equipment sold, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an amount equal to the sum of (A) 85% of such Adjusted Acquisition Cost and (B) the amount by which the residual value of such Equipment has been reduced by wear and tear in excess of that attributable to normal use (the amount of such excess wear and tear to be such amount as the Lessor and the Lessee agree, or if no agreement is reached, the amount determined pursuant to the Appraisal Procedure). (c) In the event the Lessee exercises its right to terminate the lease of any Property pursuant to this Section 12 on the Basic Rent Payment Date of the last month of the Initial Term with respect to such Property or in the event a termination of the lease of any Property occurs pursuant to Section 14 hereof and the Basic Rent Payment Date on which such termination occurs is on or before the last month of the Initial Term of such Property and the Lessee chooses to effect a sale pursuant to this Section: (i) If the Cash Proceeds are greater than the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of the Property sold, the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee the amount by which such Cash Proceeds exceed such Adjusted Acquisition Cost; (ii) if the Cash Proceeds are equal to or less than the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of the Property sold, but greater than or equal to 20% of the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of such Property, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an amount equal to (A) such Adjusted Acquisition Cost less (B) the Cash Proceeds; and (iii) if the Cash Proceeds are less than 20% of the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of the Property sold, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an amount equal to the sum of (A) 80% of such Adjusted Acquisition Cost and (B) the amount by which the residual value of such Property has been reduced by wear and tear in excess of that attributable to normal use (the amount of such excess wear and tear to be such amount as the Lessor and the Lessee agree, or if no agreement is reached, the amount determined pursuant to the Appraisal Procedure). (d) In the event the Lessee exercises its right to terminate the lease of any Property or Equipment pursuant to this Section 12 on any Basic Rent Payment Date during the Extended Term or Renewal Term with respect to such Property or Equipment or a sale of Property or Equipment occurs during the Extended Term or Renewal Term as the result of the Lessee's election under paragraph (b)(i) of Section 14 hereof: (i) if the Cash Proceeds are greater than the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of the Property or Equipment sold, the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee the amount by which such Cash Proceeds exceed such Adjusted Acquisition Cost; (ii) if the Cash Proceeds are equal to or less than the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of the Property or Equipment sold, but greater than or equal to 13% of such Adjusted Acquisition Cost, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an amount equal to (A) such Adjusted Acquisition Cost less (B) the Cash Proceeds; and (iii) if the Cash Proceeds are less than 13% of the Adjusted Acquisition Cost, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an amount equal to the sum of (A) 87% of such Adjusted Acquisition Cost and (B) the amount by which the residual value of such Property or Equipment has been reduced by wear and tear in excess of that attributable to normal use (the amount of such excess wear and tear to be such amount as the Lessor and the Lessee agree, or if no agreement is reached, the amount determined pursuant to the Appraisal Procedure). (e) All payments and credits referred to in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) above shall be made on the termination date of the Property and Equipment pursuant to this Section 12, and the parties shall account to each other for such payments and credits, and the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor all Basic Rent payable, the Variable Component of Basic Rent accrued with respect to such Property or Equipment and any Additional Rent and other amounts owing hereunder. Upon receipt by the Lessor of the aggregate Cash Proceeds and all other amounts then due and owing hereunder, including without limitation the aggregate amount of excess wear and tear determined pursuant to paragraph (b)(iii) of Section 12, paragraph (c)(iii) of Section 12, or paragraph (d)(iii) of Section 12 hereof, as the case may be, the Lessor shall transfer title to such Property and Equipment to the purchaser at the sale designated by the Lessee. The "Cash Proceeds" referred to in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) above shall mean the aggregate cash proceeds of sale without reduction for any amounts paid by the Lessee. In the event of a sale pursuant to this Section 12, neither the Lessee nor any Affiliate of the Lessee shall purchase the Property or Equipment sold. (f) In its notice given pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 12, the Lessee shall advise the Lessor if the sale provided for in such notice will result in the applicability of paragraph (b)(iii) of Section 12, paragraph (c)(iii) of Section 12 or paragraph (d)(iii) of Section 12 hereof. If the Lessee advises the Lessor that any such Section will be applicable, the Lessor may arrange for such sale to be made to a purchaser designated by the Lessor, if such purchaser will pay an amount greater than the amount offered by the Lessee's purchaser. Unless the Lessor shall arrange for such sale and shall give the Lessee notice thereof within thirty (30) days of the Lessor's receipt of the Lessee's notice, the Lessee may proceed with the sale to a purchaser designated by it. Within thirty (30) days of the Lessee's receipt of the Lessor's notice provided for in the preceding sentence, the Lessee may arrange for such sale to be made to another purchaser designated by it, if such purchaser shall pay an amount sufficient to render paragraph (b)(iii) of Section 12, paragraph (c)(iii) of Section 12 or paragraph (d)(iii) of Section 12 hereof inapplicable. SECTION 13. LESSEE'S RIGHTS OF PURCHASE AND RENEWAL. (a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lessee shall have the right, upon ninety (90) days' written notice to the Lessor, to purchase any Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment on the Basic Rent Payment Date of the last month of the Initial Term or on any Basic Rent Payment Date during any month of the Extended Term or the Renewal Term, if any, thereof for an amount equal to its Adjusted Acquisition Cost; provided that, (1) the Lessee shall be entitled to purchase Pork Production Facility Equipment pursuant to this paragraph (a) only in conjunction with a purchase pursuant to this Section 13 of the Lessor's interest in the Pork Production Facility at which such Equipment is used, or is to be used, and conversely, the Lessee shall be entitled to purchase the Lessor's interest in a Pork Production Facility pursuant to this paragraph (a) only in conjunction with a purchase pursuant to this Section 13 of the Pork Production Facility Equipment used, or to be used, at such Pork Production Facility, and (2) the Lessee shall be entitled to purchase Poultry Production Facility Equipment pursuant to this paragraph (a) only in conjunction with a purchase pursuant to this Section 13 of the Lessor's interest in the Poultry Production Facility at which such Equipment is used, or is to be used, and conversely, the Lessee shall be entitled to purchase the Lessor's interest in a Poultry Production Facility pursuant to this paragraph (a) only in conjunction with a purchase pursuant to this Section 13 of the Poultry Production Facility Equipment used, or to be used, at such Poultry Production Facility. In connection with any purchase under this paragraph (a), on the Basic Rent Payment Date upon which such purchase occurs, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor the purchase price, all Basic Rent payable, the Variable Component of Basic Rent accrued with respect to such Property or Equipment and any Additional Rent and other amounts owing hereunder. (b) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lessee shall have the right, upon ninety (90) days' written notice to the Lessor, to renew the lease of any Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment for a term (the "Renewal Term") equal to the number of calendar months set forth opposite such Parcel of Property or type of Equipment under the heading "Renewal Term" in Exhibit A hereto, commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the last day of the Lease Term thereof, at a rental equal to 0.125% per month of the Acquisition Cost of such Property or Equipment. (c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and upon the written request of the Lessee, which shall be received no later than five (5) Business Days subsequent to receipt of notice from the Lessor or any Assignee pursuant to this Lease that an Event of Default has occurred, the Lessee shall have the right, not later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request, to purchase any or all Property and Equipment leased hereunder at a price equal to its then Adjusted Acquisition Cost, provided that the purchase option contained in this paragraph shall only be available to the Lessee if (i) such Event of Default is an Event of Default under paragraph (c) or (g) of Section 18 hereof, (ii) such Event of Default shall relate solely to one or more Pork Production Facilities (but less than all of the Pork Production Facilities under this Lease) or one or more Poultry Production Facilities (but less than all of the Poultry Production Facilities under this Lease), and (iii) in the reasonable judgment of the Lessor or any Assignee, the purchase price and all other amounts paid by the Lessee will not in the circumstances in which such payment is made constitute a preferential payment or a voidable transfer pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code in a bankruptcy proceeding by or against the Lessee and will not otherwise result in the payment being subject to recapture from the Lessor. The Lessee shall be entitled (1) to purchase Pork Production Facility Equipment pursuant to this paragraph (c) only in conjunction with a purchase pursuant to this paragraph (c) of the Lessor's interest in the Pork Production Facility at which such Equipment is used, or is to be used, and conversely, the Lessee shall be entitled to purchase the Lessor's interest in a Pork Production Facility pursuant to this paragraph (c) only in conjunction with a purchase pursuant to this paragraph (c) of the Pork Production Facility Equipment used, or to be used, at such Pork Production Facility and (2) to purchase Poultry Production Facility Equipment pursuant to this paragraph (c) only in conjunction with a purchase pursuant to this paragraph (c) of the Lessor's interest in the Poultry Production Facility at which such Equipment is used, or is to be used, and conversely, the Lessee shall be entitled to purchase the Lessor's interest in a Poultry Production Facility pursuant to this paragraph (c) only in conjunction with a purchase pursuant to this paragraph (c) of the Poultry Production Facility Equipment used, or to be used, at such Poultry Production Facility.

SECTION 14. LESSOR'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE. (a) The Lessor shall have the right upon written notice to the Lessee to terminate the lease of any or all Property or Equipment as of a Basic Rent Payment Date stipulated in such notice if at any time, for any reason (other than an Event of Default by the Lessor under a Credit Agreement (as therein defined) which has not been caused by or resulted from an Event of Default under this Lease or from a breach by the Lessee of its obligations under any agreement or document executed and delivered in connection with this Lease), Commercial Paper cannot be issued by the Lessor upon terms reasonably acceptable to the Lessor, the Lessor cannot arrange for bank borrowings to finance or refinance the purchase of such Property or Equipment upon terms reasonably acceptable to the Lessor, and the Lessor may no longer make or continue to obtain financing under a Credit Agreement sufficient to finance or refinance such purchase. (b) In the event of a termination with respect to any or all Property or Equipment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 14, the Lessee shall be required, at its option, either (i) to arrange for such Property or Equipment to be sold in accordance with the terms, and subject to satisfying the conditions for the use, of Section 12 above and with the consequences therein provided, except that such sale must occur on the Basic Rent Payment Date stipulated in the written notice contemplated in paragraph (a) of this Section 14, or (ii) to purchase, on the Basic Rent Payment Date stipulated in the written notice contemplated by paragraph (a) of this Section 14, such Property or Equipment for cash at its Adjusted Acquisition Cost. If a notice under paragraph (a) of this Section 14 shall be given with respect to the Lessor's inability to finance a Pork Production Facility or Pork Production Facility Equipment, the sale or purchase referred to in this paragraph (b) shall include both the affected Pork Production Facility and all Pork Production Facility Equipment used, or to be used, at such Pork Production Facility and if a notice under paragraph (a) of this Section 14 shall be given with respect to the Lessor's inability to finance a Poultry Production Facility or Poultry Production Facility Equipment the sale or purchase referred to in this paragraph (b) shall include both the affected Poultry Production Facility and all Poultry Production Facility Equipment used, or to be used, at such Poultry Production Facility. In connection with any purchase or sale under this paragraph, on the Basic Rent Payment Date upon which such purchase or sale occurs, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, in addition to any purchase price payable, all Basic Rent payable, the Variable Component of Basic Rent accrued with respect to such Property or Equipment and any Additional Rent and other amounts owing hereunder. SECTION 15. LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT. (a) The Lessee hereby assumes all risk of loss of or damage to Property or Equipment, however caused. No loss of or damage to any Property or Equipment shall impair any obligation of the Lessee under this Lease, which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any lost or damaged Property or Equipment. (b) In the event of damage of any kind whatsoever to any Property or Equipment (unless the same is determined by the Lessee to be damaged beyond repair) the Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall place the same in good operating order, repair, condition and appearance. The Lessee's right to any proceeds paid under any insurance policy or policies required under Section 10 of this Lease with respect to any such damage to any Property or Equipment which has been so placed by the Lessee in good operating order, repair, condition and appearance is governed by paragraph (h) of Section 10 hereof. (c) If any Property or Equipment is lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, rendered unfit for use or damaged beyond repair (in the reasonable judgment of the Lessee), or if the use thereof by the Lessee in the ordinary course of business is prevented by the act of any third Person or Persons or governmental instrumentality for a period exceeding forty-five (45) days, or if such Property or Equipment is attached (other than on a claim against the Lessor as to which the Lessee is not obligated to indemnify the Lessor) and the attachment is not removed within forty-five (45) days, or if a Taking as described in Section 16 shall occur, then in any such event, (i) the Lessee shall promptly notify the Lessor in writing of such event, (ii) on the Basic Rent Payment Date following such event the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an amount equal to the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of such Property or Equipment, (iii) the Lease Term or Renewal Term of such Property or Equipment shall continue until the Basic Rent Payment Date on which the Lessor receives payment from the Lessee of the amount payable pursuant to this paragraph (c) and of Basic Rent payable, the Variable Component of Basic Rent accrued with respect to such Property or Equipment and any Additional Rent and other amounts owing hereunder, and shall thereupon terminate and (iv) the Lessor shall on such Basic Rent Payment Date transfer title to such Property or Equipment to the Lessee, and the Lessee shall be subrogated to the Lessor's rights resulting from such event. Insurance and condemnation proceeds, if any, received by the Lessor in excess of the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of the affected Property or Equipment, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be paid by the Lessor to the Lessee upon the payment by the Lessee of all amounts referred to in the preceding sentence. If the lease of a Pork Production Facility or Pork Production Facility Equipment is terminated pursuant to this paragraph (c), then the lease of both the affected Pork Production Facility and the Pork Production Facility Equipment used, or to be used, at such Pork Production Facility shall be terminated in accordance with this paragraph (c) and if the lease of a Poultry Production Facility or Poultry Production Facility Equipment is terminated pursuant to this paragraph (c), then the lease of both the affected Poultry Production Facility and the Poultry Production Facility Equipment used, or to be used, at such Poultry Production Facility shall be terminated in accordance with this paragraph (c) SECTION 16. CONDEMNATION AND DEDICATION OF PROPERTY; EASEMENTS. (a) If the use, occupancy or title to all or a substantial portion of a Parcel of Property is taken, requisitioned or sold in, by or on account of actual or threatened eminent domain proceedings or other action by any person or authority having the power of eminent domain (such events collectively referred to as a "Taking"), then the Lease Term or Renewal Term shall terminate as provided in paragraph (c) of Section 15 hereof. Upon receipt of proceeds from any award or sale made in connection with such Taking, if the Lessee has paid all amounts owing under paragraph (c) of Section 15 hereof, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lessor shall remit to the Lessee the net amount of such proceeds remaining after reimbursement for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Lessor in connection with the negotiation and settlement of any proceedings related to such Taking. A Taking shall be deemed to relate to a "substantial portion" if after giving effect to such Taking a Parcel of Property is, or will be, unusable for the Lessee's ordinary business purposes. (b) If less than a substantial portion of a Parcel of Property is subject to a Taking, then this Lease shall continue in effect as to the portion of the Parcel not taken and any net proceeds, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be paid to the Lessee. (c) So long as no Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, the Lessee shall have the right (i) to grant minor easements for the benefit of any Parcel of Property, (ii) to voluntarily dedicate or convey, as required, portions of any Parcel of Property for road, highway and other public purposes and (iii) to voluntarily execute petitions to have any Parcel of Property or a portion thereof annexed to any municipality or included within any utility, highway or other improvement or service district, provided that no more than minor restoration is required. If any monetary consideration is paid for such easement or dedication, the Lessee shall be entitled to receive or retain such consideration. The Lessee shall exercise the above power to grant without the joinder of the Lessor, except that the Lessor will cooperate, without unreasonable delay and at the Lessee's expense, as necessary and join in the execution of any appropriate instrument or shall execute any separate instrument as necessary. As a condition precedent to the Lessee's exercise of any of the Lessee's powers under this Section 16, (i) the Lessee shall give the Lessor five (5) Business Days' prior written notice of the proposed action and (ii) the Lessee shall provide to the Lessor a certificate of the Lessee stating that such action will not adversely affect either the fair market value of such Property or the use of such Property for its intended purpose, will not affect the Lessor's ability to exercise its rights and remedies under this Lease and that the Lessee undertakes to remain obligated under this Lease to the same extent as if the Lessee had not exercised its powers under this Section 16 and the Lessee will perform all obligations under such instrument and shall prepare all required documents and provide all other instruments and certificates as the Lessor may reasonably request. SECTION 17. SURRENDER OF PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT. (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20 and 29 hereof, upon termination of the lease of any Property or Equipment hereunder, the Lessee shall surrender such Property or Equipment to the Lessor. Equipment shall be surrendered by delivering the same to the Lessor at such location as the Lessor and the Lessee may agree and, if they are unable to agree, at such location as the Lessor may reasonably direct. Such Property or Equipment shall be surrendered in the condition required by paragraph (b) of Section 9 or, in the case of the Aircraft, paragraph (h) of Section 9 of this Lease. Any cost of removal and delivery of Equipment to the Lessor shall be paid by the Lessee. (b) Subject to the provisions of Sections 12, 13, 14, 15, 19 and 20 hereof, upon termination of the lease of the Aircraft, the Lessee, at its own expense, will cause such Aircraft, if not then registered in the name of the Lessor, to be registered in the name of the Lessor or its designee. At the time of such return the Aircraft shall be duly certified as airworthy by the Federal Aviation Administration. (c) Subject to the provisions of Sections 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, and 20 hereof, upon termination of the lease of the Aircraft, the Lessee shall have the option of having the aircraft engines installed on the Aircraft be engines of the same model as the original Engines or substitute engines suitable and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration for the Aircraft, free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances or rights of others whatsoever and having a value and utility at least equal to, and being in as good operation and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, as such original Engines. "Ordinary wear and tear" as used herein is intended to reflect the Federal Aviation Administration regulations pertaining to the requirement of a periodic overhauling of aircraft engines. Thus, in returning the Engines, the Lessee, under normal circumstances, shall be required to overhaul them only if the total flying hours of such Engines would require an overhaul under the Federal Aviation Administration regulations. (d) Upon the return of the Aircraft, the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor or its designee, all logs, manuals, inspection data, modification and overhaul records or copies thereof which are applicable to the Aircraft and are of the type that the Lessee customarily retains or is required by law to retain with respect to its own aircraft. SECTION 18. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Any of the following events of default shall constitute an "Event of Default" and shall give rise to the rights on the part of the Lessor described in Section 19 hereof: (a) Failure of the Lessee to pay amounts due to the Lessor at the time of any scheduled sale of any Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment hereunder, failure of the Lessee to pay Basic Rent for more than five (5) days after such payment is due pursuant to Section 7 hereof, or failure of the Lessee to pay any other amount payable by the Lessee hereunder or more than ten (10) days after such payment is due;

or (c) Default in the performance of any other obligation or covenant of the Lessee pursuant to this Lease or any Consent and the continuance of such default for thirty (30) days after written notice to the Lessee by the Lessor or any Assignee; provided that such default shall not constitute an Event of Default if (i) such default is of a nature that it cannot be completely remedied with reasonable and diligent efforts within such thirty (30) day period, but is capable of being remedied within an additional ninety (90) days and (ii) the Lessee shall have commenced and thereafter diligently prosecuted to completion all steps necessary to remedy such default and such default is in fact remedied within such additional ninety (90) day period and (iii) the continuance of such default does not at any time place the Lessor or any Assignee in any danger of civil liability for which the Lessor or such Assignee is not adequately indemnified (the Lessee's obligations under Section 11 of this Lease shall be deemed to be adequate indemnification if no other Event of Default exists hereunder and if such civil liability is reasonably likely to be less than $5,000,000) or subject the Lessor or any Assignee to any criminal liability as a result of such default; or (d) The entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Lessee by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Lessee or of any substantial part of the Lessee's property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the Lessee's affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days;

or (f) A default or event of default, the effect of which is to permit the holder or holders of any indebtedness (including, without limitation, lease obligations which are shown on the balance sheet of the Lessee or which relate to sale-leaseback transactions), or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders, to cause such indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity shall occur under the provisions of any agreement pursuant to which such indebtedness was created or any instrument evidencing such indebtedness of the Lessee in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate or any obligation of the Lessee for the payment of such indebtedness shall become or be declared to be due and payable prior to its stated maturity, or shall not be paid when due; or (g) Any representation or warranty made by the Lessee in this Lease, any Consent or any document contemplated hereby or thereby proves to be false or inaccurate in any material respect on or as of the date made or deemed made; or (h) Final judgment or judgments for the payment of money in excess of $250,000 shall be rendered against the Lessee by any U.S. Federal or state court and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days during which execution of such judgment or judgments shall not be effectively stayed; or (i) An Event of Default (as defined in the Agreement for Lease) shall occur under the Agreement for Lease; or (j) The letter agreement dated the date hereof between the Lessee and the Lessor ceases to be in full force and effect or the Lessee defaults in the performance of any obligation or covenant contained in such letter agreement. SECTION 19. RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default the Lessor may do any one or more of the following (subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) of Section 13 of this Lease): (a) Terminate the lease of any or all Property or Equipment leased hereunder; (b) Whether or not the lease of any Property or Equipment is terminated, take immediate possession of and remove any or all Equipment and other equipment or property of the Lessor in the possession of the Lessee, wherever situated, and for such purpose, enter upon any premises without liability to the Lessee for so doing; (c) Whether or not any action has been taken under paragraph (a) or (b) above, sell any Property or Equipment (with or without the concurrence or request of the Lessee); (d) Hold, use, occupy, operate, remove, lease or keep idle any or all Property or Equipment as the Lessor in its sole discretion may determine, without any duty to account to the Lessee with respect to any such action or inaction or for any proceeds thereof; and (e) Exercise any other right or remedy which may be available under applicable law and in general proceed by appropriate judicial proceedings, either at law or in equity, to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach hereof. Suit or suits for the recovery of any default in the payment of any sum due hereunder or for damages may be brought by the Lessor from time to time at the Lessor's election, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the Lessor to await the date whereon this Lease or the term hereof would have expired by limitation had there been no such default by the Lessee or no such termination or cancellation. The receipt of any payments under this Lease by the Lessor with knowledge of any breach of this Lease by the Lessee or of any default by the Lessee in the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any provision of this Lease. No receipt of moneys by the Lessor from the Lessee after the termination or cancellation hereof in any lawful manner shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or any Renewal Term, or affect any notice theretofore given to the Lessee, or operate as a waiver of the right of the Lessor to enforce the payment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent or other charges payable hereunder, or operate as a waiver of the right of the Lessor to recover possession of any Unit of Equipment or Parcel of Property by proper suit, action, proceedings or remedy; it being agreed that, after the service of notice to terminate or cancel this Lease, and the expiration of the time therein specified, if the default has not been cured in the meantime, or after the commencement of any suit, action or summary proceedings or of any other remedy, or after a final order, warrant or judgment for the possession of any Unit of Equipment or Parcel of Property, the Lessor may demand, receive and collect any moneys payable hereunder, without in any manner affecting such notice, proceedings, suit, action, order, warrant or judgment; and any and all such moneys so collected shall be deemed to be payments on account for the use and operation of any Unit of Equipment or the use, operation and occupation of any Parcel of Property, or at the election of the Lessor, on account of the Lessee's liability hereunder. Acceptance of the keys to any Parcel of Property, or any similar act, by the Lessor, or any agent or employee of the Lessor, during the term hereof, shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of a surrender of any Parcel of Property unless the Lessor shall consent thereto in writing. After any Event of Default, the Lessee shall be liable for, and the Lessor may recover from the Lessee, (i) all Basic Rent accrued to the date of payment, (ii) any Additional Rent owing with respect to all Property or Equipment leased by the Lessee, (iii) all amounts payable pursuant to Sections 11, 25 and 27 hereof and (iv) all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses, commissions, filing fees and sales or transfer taxes) sustained by the Lessor by reason of such Event of Default and the exercise of the Lessor's remedies with respect thereto, including, in the event of a sale by the Lessor of any Property or Equipment pursuant to this Section 19, all costs and expenses associated with such sale. The amounts payable in clauses (i) through (iv) above are hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Accrued Default Obligations". After an Event of Default, the Lessor may sell (in a commercially reasonable manner) its interest in any Property and Equipment upon any terms that the Lessor deems satisfactory, free of any rights of the Lessee or any Person claiming through or under the Lessee. In the event of any such sale, in addition to the Accrued Default Obligations, the Lessor shall be entitled to recover from the Lessee, as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of any Property or Equipment so sold, minus the proceeds of such sale received by the Lessor. Proceeds of sale received by the Lessor in excess of the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of such Property or Equipment sold shall be credited against the Accrued Default Obligations the Lessee is required to pay under this Section 19. If such proceeds exceed the Accrued Default Obligations, or, if the Lessee has paid all amounts required to be paid under this Section 19, such excess shall be paid by the Lessor to the Lessee. As an alternative to any such sale, or if the Lessee converts any Property or Equipment after an Event of Default, or if such Property or Equipment is lost or destroyed, in addition to the Accrued Default Obligations, the Lessor may cause the Lessee to pay to the Lessor, and the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of such Property or Equipment. In the event the Lessor receives payment pursuant to the previous sentence of this paragraph, the Lessor shall transfer all of the Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Property and Equipment to the Lessee. In the event of a sale pursuant to this Section 19 to a purchaser other than the Lessee, upon receipt by the Lessor of the proceeds of such sale, the Lessor shall transfer all of the Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Property and Equipment to such purchaser. No remedy referred to in this Section 19 is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to the Lessor at law or in equity, and the exercise in whole or in part by the Lessor of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Lessor of any or all such other remedies. No waiver by the Lessor of any Event of Default hereunder shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Event of Default. With respect to the termination of this Lease as to any Parcel of Property as a result of an Event of Default, the Lessee hereby waives service of any notice of intention to re-enter. The Lessee hereby waives any and all rights to recover or regain possession of any Parcel of Property or to reinstate this Lease as permitted or provided by or under any statute, law or decision now or hereafter in force and effect. SECTION 20. EQUIPMENT TO BE PERSONAL PROPERTY. It is the intention and understanding of the Lessor and the Lessee that all Equipment shall be and at all times remain personal property. The Lessee shall obtain and record such instruments and take such steps as may be necessary to prevent any Person from acquiring any rights in Equipment paramount to the rights of the Lessor by reason of such Equipment being deemed to be real property. If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties and the provisions of this Section 20, any Person acquires or claims to have acquired any rights in any Equipment superior to the rights of the Lessor, by reason of such Equipment being deemed to be real property, the Lessee shall promptly notify the Lessor in writing of such fact and (unless the basis for such claim is waived or eliminated to the satisfaction of the Lessor within a period of thirty (30) days from the date it is asserted) the Lessee shall on the Basic Rent Payment Date following the expiration of the thirty (30) day period referred to above in this sentence pay to the Lessor an amount equal to the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of such Equipment at the time of payment. On such Basic Rent Payment Date, in addition to the payment of the Adjusted Acquisition Cost, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor Basic Rent payable, the Variable Component of Basic Rent accrued with respect to such Equipment and any Additional Rent and other amounts owing hereunder and the lease of such Equipment shall thereupon terminate. The Lessor shall on such Basic Rent Payment Date transfer title to such Equipment to the Lessee, and the Lessee shall be subrogated to the Lessor's rights in the affected transaction. SECTION 21. SALE OR ASSIGNMENT BY LESSOR. (a) The Lessor shall have the right to obtain equity and debt financing for the acquisition and ownership of the Property or Equipment by selling or assigning its right, title and interest in any or all amounts due from the Lessee or any third party under this Lease; provided, that any such sale or assignment shall be subject to the rights and interests of the Lessee under this Lease. (b) Any Assignee shall, except as otherwise agreed by the Lessor and such Assignee, have all the rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Lessor hereunder, and the Lessee's obligations as between itself and such Assignee hereunder shall not be subject to any claims or defense that the Lessee may have against the Lessor. Upon written notice to the Lessee of any such assignment, the Lessee shall thereafter make payments of Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other sums due hereunder to such Assignee, to the extent specified in such notice, and such payments shall discharge the obligation of the Lessee to the Lessor hereunder to the extent of such payments. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Assignee shall be obligated to perform any duty, covenant or condition required to be performed by the Lessor hereunder, and any such duty, covenant or condition shall be and remain the sole obligation of the Lessor. SECTION 22. INCOME TAXES. (a) The Lessor agrees that it will not file any Federal, state or local income tax returns during the Lease Term or Renewal Term, if any, with respect to any Property or Equipment that are inconsistent with the treatment of the Lessee as owner of such Property or Equipment for Federal, state and local income tax purposes. (b) Paragraph (a) of Section 22 above notwithstanding, the Lessor agrees that, at the written request of the Lessee, it will take all such action as may be required to be taken by a lessor to elect under any provision of the Code substantially similar to section 48(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended prior to the enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, permitting a pass-through of an investment tax credit to a lessee, to treat the Lessee as having acquired any Unit of Equipment or any qualifying appliances, equipment and machinery attached to any Parcel of Property acquired by the Lessor that would qualify for such a credit (within the meaning of section 48(b) of the Code); provided, that such request is received by the Lessor reasonably in advance of the date on which the Lessor is required to take such action, and the Lessee provides the Lessor in a timely fashion with all information (other than identifying information pertaining to the Lessor) required to take such action. The Lessor does not represent or warrant to the Lessee that credits will be allowable with respect to any Unit of Equipment or other property under the Code or that any election will be effective to transfer any such credits that are allowable to the Lessee. The Lessor, Merrill, Merrill Lynch and Merrill Leasing shall have no liability to the Lessee resulting from the disallowance to the Lessee of credits under the Code with respect to any Unit of Equipment or other property unless such disallowance is directly and primarily attributable to the failure of the Lessor to comply with its obligations under the first sentence of this paragraph (b). SECTION 23. NOTICES AND REQUESTS. All notices, offers, acceptances, approvals, waivers, requests, demands and other communications hereunder or under any other instrument, certificate or other document delivered in connection with the transactions described herein shall be in writing, shall be addressed as provided below and shall be considered as properly given (a) if delivered in person, (b) if sent by express courier service (including, without limitation, Federal Express, Emery, DHL, Airborne Express, and other similar express delivery services), (c) in the event overnight delivery services are not readily available, if mailed by international airmail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, or (d) if sent by telecopy and confirmed; provided, that in the case of a notice by telecopy, the sender shall in addition confirm such notice by writing sent in the manner specified in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 23.

During the Lease Term or Renewal Term, if any, of any Property or Equipment hereunder and so long as no Event of Default or Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessor recognizes the Lessee's right to quiet enjoyment of the Property or Equipment on the terms and conditions provided in this Lease without any interference from the Lessor or anyone claiming through or under the Lessor. SECTION 25. RIGHT TO PERFORM FOR LESSEE. (a) If the Lessee fails to perform or comply with any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Lease, the Lessor may, upon notice to the Lessee but without waiving or releasing any obligations or default, itself perform or comply with such covenant or agreement, and the amount of the reasonable expenses of the Lessor incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, shall be payable by the Lessee, not later than ten (10) days after written notice by the Lessor. (b) Without in any way limiting the obligations of the Lessee hereunder, the Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints the Lessor as its agent and attorney at the time at which the Lessee is obligated to deliver possession of any Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment to the Lessor, to demand and take possession of such Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment in the name and on behalf of the Lessee from whomsoever shall be at the time in possession thereof. SECTION 26. MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ASSETS. The Lessee may not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or sell all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, except that the Lessee may consolidate with or merge into any other corporation which is an Affiliate of the Lessee, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to any Person which is an Affiliate of the Lessee; provided, that the surviving corporation or transferee Person shall assume, by execution and delivery of instruments satisfactory to the Lessor, the obligations of the Lessee hereunder and become successor to the Lessee, but the Lessee shall not thereby be released, without the consent of the Lessor, from its obligations hereunder and; provided, further, that such surviving corporation or transferee Person will, on a pro forma basis, immediately after such consolidation, merger or sale, possess a consolidated net worth and credit rating substantially equivalent to or greater than that of the Lessee immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Lessee and its respective successors and assigns. SECTION 27. EXPENSES. The Lessee shall pay all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor, and any Assignee in connection with this Lease including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Lessor and counsel to any Assignee. SECTION 28. PERMITTED CONTESTS. (a) The Lessee shall not be required, nor shall the Lessor have the right, to pay, discharge or remove any tax, assessment, levy, fee, rent, charge or Lien, or to comply or cause any Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment to comply with any Legal Requirements applicable to any Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment or the occupancy, use or operation thereof, so long as no Event of Default exists under this Lease, the Lessee is contesting or plans to contest the existence, amount, applicability or validity thereof by appropriate proceedings and, in the opinion of the Lessee's counsel, the Lessee shall have reasonable grounds to contest the existence, amount, applicability or validity thereof by appropriate proceedings, which proceedings in the reasonable judgment of the Lessor, (i) shall not involve any material danger that any Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment or any Basic Rent or any Additional Rent would be subject to sale, forfeiture or loss, as a result of failure to comply therewith, (ii) shall not affect the payment of any Basic Rent or any Additional Rent or other sums due and payable hereunder or result in any such sums being payable to any Person other than the Lessor or any Assignee, (iii) will not place the Lessor or any Assignee in any danger of civil liability for which the Lessor is not adequately indemnified (the Lessee's obligations under Section 11 of this Lease shall be deemed to be adequate indemnification if no Event of Default or Potential Default exists and if such civil liability is reasonably likely to be less than $500,000 per Parcel or Unit and $5,000,000 in the aggregate) or to any criminal liability, (iv) if involving taxes, shall suspend the collection of taxes, and (v) shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which the Lessee or the Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder (the "Permitted Contest"). The Lessee shall conduct all Permitted Contests in good faith and with due diligence and shall promptly after the final determination (including appeals) of any Permitted Contest, pay and discharge all amounts which shall be determined to be payable therein. The Lessor shall cooperate in good faith with the Lessee with respect to all Permitted Contests conducted by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 28. (b) In the event the Lessor deems, in its sole discretion, that its interests under this Lease or in any Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment are not adequately protected in connection with a Permitted Contest brought by the Lessee under this Section 28, the Lessee shall give such reasonable security, as may be demanded by the Lessor to insure payment of such tax, assessment, levy, fee, rent, charge or Lien and compliance with Legal Requirements and to prevent any sale or forfeiture of any Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment, any Basic Rent or any Additional Rent by reason of such nonpayment or noncompliance. The Lessee hereby agrees that the Lessor may assign such security provided by the Lessee to any Assignee. (c) At least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of any Permitted Contest, the Lessee shall notify the Lessor in writing thereof if the amount to be contested exceeds $100,000, and shall describe such proceeding in reasonable detail. In the event that a taxing authority or subdivision thereof proposes an additional assessment or levy of any tax for which the Lessee is obligated to reimburse the Lessor under this Lease, or in the event that the Lessor is notified of the commencement of an audit or similar proceeding which could result in such an additional assessment, then the Lessor shall in a timely manner notify the Lessee in writing of such proposed levy or proceeding. SECTION 29. LEASEHOLD INTERESTS. The following provisions relate to each lease (a "Ground Lease") under which a leasehold interest in a Parcel of Property is subleased to the Lessee hereunder: (a) The Lessee hereunder covenants and agrees to perform and to observe all of the terms, covenants, provisions, conditions and agreements of the underlying Ground Leases on the Lessor's part as lessee thereunder to be performed and observed (including, without limitation, payment of all rent, additional rent and other amounts payable by the Lessor as lessee under any Ground Lease) to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of the Lessor as lessee under any Ground Lease. The Lessee further covenants that it shall cause to be exercised any renewal option contained in the Ground Lease which relates to renewal occurring in whole or in part during the term of this Lease. (b) The Lessee covenants and agrees pursuant to Section 11 hereof to indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor and any Assignee from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, suits, penalties, claims and demands of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) by reason of the Lessee's failure to comply with any Ground Lease or the provisions of this Section 29. (c) The Lessor and the Lessee agree that the Lessor shall have no obligation or responsibility to provide services or equipment required to be provided or repairs or restorations required to be made in accordance with the provisions of any Ground Lease by the Lessor thereunder. The Lessor shall in no event be liable to the Lessee nor shall the obligations of the Lessee hereunder be impaired or the performance thereof excused because of any failure or delay on the part of the Lessor under any Ground Lease in providing such services or equipment or making such restorations or repairs and such failure or delay shall not constitute a basis for any claim against the Lessor or any offset against any amount payable to the Lessor under this Lease. (d) If the Lessor's interest under any Ground Lease shall expire, terminate or otherwise be extinguished, the Lease of the Parcel of Property to which such Ground Lease relates shall thereupon terminate as provided in this paragraph (d). Upon such expiration, termination or extinguishment, the Lessee shall be required to purchase the Lessor's interest in such Parcel of Property at its Adjusted Acquisition Cost. If the Lessee shall be required to purchase the Lessor's interest in such affected Parcel, then (i) on the Basic Rent Payment Date next succeeding such event, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an amount equal to the Adjusted Acquisition Cost of such Property, (ii) the Lease Term or Renewal Term of such Property shall continue until the date on which the Lessor receives payment from the Lessee of the amount payable pursuant to this paragraph (d) and of all Basic Rent payable, the Variable Component of Basic Rent accrued with respect to such Parcel of Property and any Additional Rent and other amounts owing hereunder, and shall then terminate upon the payment of such amounts and (iii) the Lessor shall on such date transfer title to the Lessor's interest in such Parcel to the Lessee. (e) The Lessee shall ensure that each Ground Lease shall be a Mortgageable Ground Lease. SECTION 30. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) All agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties, and the obligation to pay Additional Rent contained in this Lease shall survive the expiration or other termination hereof. (b) This Lease, the Unit Leasing Records and the AFL Unit Leasing Records covering Property or Equipment leased pursuant hereto and the instruments, documents or agreements referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties and no representations, warranties, promises, guarantees or agreements, oral or written, express or implied, have been made by any party hereto with respect to this Lease or the Property or Equipment, except as provided herein or therein. (c) This Lease may not be amended, modified or terminated, nor may any obligation hereunder be waived orally, and no such amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective for any purpose unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement thereof is sought. A waiver on one occasion shall not be construed to be a waiver with respect to any other occasion. (d) The captions in this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. Any provision of this Lease which is prohibited by law or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith appropriate modifications to reflect such changes as may be required by law, and, as nearly as possible, to produce the same economic, financial and tax effects as the provision which is prohibited or unenforceable; and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Lessee and the Lessor hereby waive any provision of law which renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. THIS LEASE HAS BEEN EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE LESSEE AND THE LESSOR AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THIS LEASE, AND THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE LESSEE AND THE LESSOR HEREUNDER, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IN RESPECT OF ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE. THE LESSEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT AGAINST IT AND RELATED TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT, THAT THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, THAT THE VENUE OF THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER, OR THAT THIS LEASE OR ANY DOCUMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF MAY NOT BE LITIGATED IN OR BY SUCH COURT. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LESSEE AGREES NOT TO SEEK AND HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO ANY REVIEW OF THE JUDGMENT OF ANY SUCH COURT BY ANY COURT OF ANY OTHER NATION OR JURISDICTION WHICH MAY BE CALLED UPON TO GRANT AN ENFORCEMENT OF SUCH JUDGMENT. THE LESSEE AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON IT BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL TO THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE OR ANY METHOD AUTHORIZED BY THE LAWS OF NEW YORK. THE LESSOR AND THE LESSEE EXPRESSLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM RELATED TO THIS LEASE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. THE LESSOR AND THE LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH (D) OF SECTION 30 HAVE BEEN BARGAINED FOR AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. (e) In connection with any sale of Property or Equipment pursuant to Section 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20 or 29 of this Lease, when the Lessor transfers title, such transfer shall be on an as-is, non-installment sale basis, without warranty by, or recourse to, the Lessor. The purchase price for any such sale shall be paid entirely in cash and in immediately available funds. (f) In connection with the sale or purchase of Property or Equipment pursuant to Section 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20 or 29 of this Lease, the Lessee shall pay or shall cause the purchaser of such Property or Equipment to pay in addition to the purchase price, all transfer taxes, transfer gains taxes, mortgage recording tax, if any, recording and filing fees and all other similar taxes, fees, expenses and closing costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) in connection with the conveyance of such Property or Equipment to the Lessee or any purchaser. (g) When used in Section 12, 13, 14, 15, 20 or 29 of this Lease, the phrase "the Variable Component of Basic Rent accrued" means the Variable Component of Basic Rent accrued through the date of termination of this Lease pursuant to such Section which has not been included in Basic Rent then payable or previously paid. (h) If any costs of the Lessor related to the Agreement for Lease which were not included in the Acquisition Cost of a Parcel of Property are allocated to such Parcel of Property pursuant to the definition of Unit Acquisition Cost in the Agreement for Lease, the Lessee and the Lessor shall execute a revised AFL Unit Leasing Record to amend the Adjusted Acquisition Cost for such Parcel to reflect the increase in the Acquisition Cost. (i) The Lessor agrees that it shall not cause or permit to exist any Lien with respect to any Parcel of Property or Unit of Equipment arising as a result of any willful act or omission of the Lessor which is not permitted or contemplated by this Lease, the Agreement for Lease, any Credit Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby. SECTION 31. NO RECOURSE. The Lessor's obligations hereunder are intended to be the obligations of the limited partnership and of the corporation which is the general partner thereof only and no recourse for the payment of any amount due under this Lease or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any limited partner of the Lessor or any incorporator, shareholder, officer, director or Affiliate, as such, past, present or future of such corporate general partner or of any corporate limited partner or of any successor corporation to such corporate general partner or any corporate limited partner of the Lessor, or against any direct or indirect parent corporation of such corporate general partner or of any limited partner of the Lessor or any other subsidiary or Affiliate of any such direct or indirect parent corporation or any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of any such parent or other subsidiary or Affiliate, it being understood that the Lessor is a limited partnership formed for the purpose of the transactions involved in and relating to this Lease on the express understanding aforesaid. Nothing contained in this Section 31 shall be construed to limit the exercise or enforcement, in accordance with the terms of this Lease and any other documents referred to herein, of rights and remedies against the limited partnership or the corporate general partner of the Lessor or the assets of the limited partnership or the corporate general partner of the Lessor. SECTION 32. NO MERGER. There shall be no merger of this Lease or of the leasehold estate hereby created with the fee estate in any Parcel of Property by reason of the fact that the same person acquires or holds, directly or indirectly, this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby created or any interest herein or in such leasehold estate as well as the fee estate in any Parcel of Property or any interest in such fee estate. SECTION 33. CONFIDENTIALITY. (a) The Lessee agrees to treat information concerning the structure and documentation of the Agreement for Lease and this Lease confidentially, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law (in which circumstance the Lessee will notify the Lessor prior to such disclosure of any information). The foregoing constraint shall not include (i) information that is now in the public domain or subsequently enters the public domain without fault on the part of the Lessee, (ii) information currently known to the Lessee from its own sources as evidenced by its prior written records, and (iii) information that the Lessee receives from a third party not under any obligation to keep such information confidential. (b) The Lessor agrees to treat information which is designated as confidential concerning the structure and documentation of this Lease, the Agreement for Lease, the Lessee's operations and the Property and Equipment confidentially, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law (in which circumstance the Lessor will notify the Lessee prior to such disclosure of any information). The foregoing constraint shall not include (i) information that is now in the public domain or subsequently enters the public domain without fault on the part of the Lessor, (ii) information currently known to the Lessor from its own sources as evidenced by its prior written records, (iii) information that the Lessor receives from a third party not under any obligation to keep such information confidential, (iv) information disclosed to any Assignee or any lender for the purpose of financing or refinancing the purchase or ownership of any Property or Equipment or (v) information disclosed to any Person for the purpose of enforcing the rights of the Lessor under this Lease, the Agreement for Lease, the Credit Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby. SECTION 34. CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to all usury laws that are applicable to each such party, this Lease, and to each of the transactions contemplated by this Lease (collectively the "Transactions"). Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, or any other document, certificate, instrument or agreement entered in connection with the Transactions (collectively the "Transaction Documents"), it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under Applicable Usury Law (hereinafter defined) that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by any party under the Transaction Documents or otherwise in connection with the Transactions shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest that could lawfully be charged by such party under Applicable Usury Law, (ii) in the event that the maturity of any indebtedness evidenced by or payable pursuant to the Transaction Documents is accelerated for any reason, or in the event of any required or permitted payment or prepayment of all or any part of such indebtedness (including, without limitation, and if applicable, any required or permitted purchase of any Property or Equipment, or any required or permitted payment of the Adjusted Acquisition Cost), then such consideration that constitutes interest as to any such indebtedness under Applicable Usury Law may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such Applicable Usury Law, and (iii) excess interest, if any, provided for in the Transaction Documents or otherwise in connection with the Transactions shall be, in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 33, canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by the recipient on the principal or stated amount of the affected indebtedness (or, to the extent that the principal or stated amount of such indebtedness shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such recipient to the party entitled thereto). If at any time the rate of interest (denominated as such) contractually called for in any Transaction Document (as the same may vary from time to time pursuant to the terms of such Transaction Document, the "Stated Rate"), exceeds the maximum non-usurious rate of interest permitted by Applicable Usury Law (the "Maximum Rate") in respect of the indebtedness evidenced by such Transaction Document, taking into account all other amounts paid or payable pursuant to the Transaction Documents which constitute interest with respect to such indebtedness under Applicable Usury Law regardless of whether denominated as interest (collectively, the "Other Charges"), then the rate of interest to accrue on such indebtedness shall be limited to such Maximum Rate (taking into account the Other Charges), but any subsequent reduction in the Stated Rate applicable to such indebtedness shall not reduce the rate of interest or yield to accrue on such indebtedness to a rate that is less than such Maximum Rate (taking into account the Other Charges) until such time as the total amount of interest or yield on such indebtedness equals the amount of interest or yield which would have accrued if the Stated Rate applicable to such indebtedness had at all times been in effect. If at the maturity or final payment of any indebtedness the total amount of interest or yield paid or accrued on such indebtedness under the preceding sentence is less than the total amount of interest or yield which would have accrued if the Stated Rate applicable to such indebtedness had at all times been in effect, then to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Usury Law there shall be due and payable with respect to such indebtedness an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on such indebtedness if such Maximum Rate in respect of such indebtedness had at all times been in effect and been chosen as the rate of interest or yield to be applicable throughout the term of such indebtedness (taking into account the Other Charges) and (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued on such indebtedness if the Stated Rate applicable to such indebtedness had at all times been in effect, over (b) the amount of interest accrued in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Document evidencing such indebtedness after giving effect to the preceding sentence. All amounts paid or agreed to be paid for the use, forbearance or detention of sums pursuant to or in connection with the Transaction Documents shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Usury Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term thereof so that the rate or amount of interest paid or payable with respect to any amount of indebtedness evidenced by or payable pursuant to the Transaction Documents does not exceed the applicable usury ceiling, if any. As used herein, the term "Applicable Usury Law" means that law, if any, that is applicable to any particular Transaction and that limits the maximum non-usurious rate of interest that may be taken, contracted for, charged, reserved or received with respect to such Transaction, including the Federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York, the laws of the State of Texas, and the laws of any other jurisdiction that may be mandatorily applicable to such Transaction notwithstanding other provisions of this Lease and the other Transaction Documents. As used herein, the term "interest" means interest as determined under Applicable Usury Law, regardless of whether denominated as interest in the Transaction Documents (except to the extent that this Section 34 specifically refers to interest denominated as interest). The right to accelerate maturity of any indebtedness evidenced by any Transaction Document, and the right to demand payment of the Adjusted Acquisition Cost does not include the right to accelerate any interest, or to receive any other amounts, which would cause the Transactions to be usurious under Applicable Usury Law. To the extent (if any) that Texas law determines the Maximum Rate, such Maximum Rate shall be determined by utilizing the indicated rate (weekly) ceiling from time to time in effect pursuant to Texas Revised Civil Statutes Annotated Article 5069-1.04, as amended. In no event will the provisions of Texas Revised Civil Statutes Annotated Articles 5069-2.01 through 5069-8.06 or 5069-15.01 through 5069-15.11 be applicable to the Transactions. All computations of the maximum amount allowed under Applicable Usury Law will be made on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 365 or 366 day year, whichever is applicable pursuant to such Applicable Usury Law. The provisions of this Section 34 shall prevail over any contrary provisions in this Lease or any of the other Transaction Documents.

A definition of the term "Consolidated Funded Debt" is added to Section 1 of the Lease immediately following the definition of "Consent" in such Section, to read in its entirety as follows: ""Consolidated Funded Debt" means, at any time, the amount of Funded Debt of the Lessee and the amount of Subsidiary Funded Debt of all Subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis at such time." As used in this definition, "Funded Debt" means, at any time, with respect to any Person, Indebtedness of such Person having a final maturity of more than one (1) year from such time or that is renewable or extendible at the option of such Person for a period more than one (1) year from the date of determination. "Subsidiary Funded Debt" means, at any time, with respect to any Subsidiary, (a) Funded Debt of such Subsidiary and (b) Preferred Stock of such Subsidiary. For purposes of determining the amount of Subsidiary Funded Debt at any time, the amount of Subsidiary Funded Debt shall include the amount of the principle of all Indebtedness constituting Subsidiary Funded Debt, the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the par or stated value of all Preferred Stock constituting Subsidiary Funded Debt, and the amount of declared but unpaid dividends thereon, and any other amounts due in respect of such Indebtedness and Preferred Stock. "Indebtedness" means with respect to any Person, without duplication, (a) its liabilities for borrowed money (whether or not evidenced by a Security (as such term is defined in section 2(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended)) and its obligations in respect of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock; (b) any liabilities for borrowed money secured by any Lien existing on any interest in any kind of property or asset, whether real, personal or mixed, and whether tangible or intangible owned by such Person (whether or not such liabilities have been assumed); (c) any obligations in respect of, at any time, any lease of such Person, with respect to which lease the lessee is required to recognize the acquisition of an asset and the incurrence of a liability at such time (a "Capital Lease"); (d) the present value of all payments due under any arrangement for retention of title or any conditional sale agreement (other than a Capital Lease) discounted at the implicit rate, if known, with respect thereto or, if unknown, at 8% per annum; (e) obligations of such Person in respect of letters of credit or instruments serving a similar function issued or accepted by banks and other financial institutions for the account of such Person (whether or not representing obligations for borrowed money); (f) the aggregate net obligations under Swaps of such Person; and (g) any Guaranty of such Person of any obligation or liability of another Person. "Swaps" means, with respect to any Person, obligations with respect to interest rate swaps and currency swaps and similar obligations obligating such Person to make payments, whether periodically or upon the happening of a contingency, except that if any agreement relating to such obligation provides for the netting of amounts payable by and to such Person thereunder or if any such agreement provides for the simultaneous payment of amounts by and to such Person, then in each such case, the amount of such obligations shall be the net amount thereof. The aggregate net obligation of Swaps at any time shall be the aggregate amount of the obligations of such Person under all Swaps assuming all such Swaps had been terminated by such Person as of the end of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter of such Person. If such net aggregate obligation shall be an amount owing to such Person, then the amount shall be deemed to be Zero Dollars ($0). "Guaranty" means with respect to any Person (for purposes of this definition, the "Guarantor") any obligation (except the endorsement in the ordinary course of business of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection) of such Person guaranteeing or in effect guaranteeing any indebtedness, dividend or other obligation of any other Person (the "Primary Obligor") in any manner, whether directly or indirectly, including, without limitation, obligations incurred through an agreement, contingent or otherwise, by the Guarantor: (a) to purchase such indebtedness or obligation or any interest in any kind of property or asset, whether real, personal or mixed, and whether tangible or intangible, constituting security therefor; (b) to advance or supply funds (i) for the purchase or payment of such indebtedness or obligation, or (ii) to maintain working capital or other balance sheet condition or any income statement condition of the Primary Obligor or otherwise to advance or make available funds for the purchase or payment of such indebtedness or obligation; (c) to lease or purchase any interest in any kind of property or asset, whether real, personal or mixed, and whether tangible or intangible or to purchase Securities or services primarily for the purpose of assuring the owner of such indebtedness or obligation of the ability of the Primary Obligor to make payment of the indebtedness or obligation; or (d) otherwise to assure the owner of the indebtedness or obligation of the Primary Obligor against loss in respect thereof. For purposes of computing the amount of any Guaranty, in connection with any computation of indebtedness or other liability, it shall be assumed that the indebtedness or other liabilities that are the subject of such Guaranty are direct obligations of the issuer of such Guaranty, and the amount of the Guaranty is the amount of the direct obligation then outstanding. 4. A definition of the term "Consolidated Shareholders' Equity" is added to Section 1 of the Lease immediately following the definition of "Consolidated Funded Debt" in such Section, to read in its entirety as follows: ""Consolidated Shareholders' Equity" means, at any time, (a) the amount of shareholders's equity of the Lessee and the Subsidiaries (but excluding, without limitation, all Preferred Stock other than perpetual Preferred Stock and, to the extent included therein, minority interest), minus (b) (i) the Restricted Basket Transfer Proceeds Amount, plus (ii) the Restricted Subsidiary Net Worth Amount, all determined on a consolidated basis at such time." 5. A definition of the term "Consolidated Tangible Net Worth" is added to Section 1 of the Lease immediately following the definition of "Consolidated Shareholders' Equity" in such Section, to read in its entirety as follows: ""Consolidated Tangible Net Worth" means, at any time, the amount equal to (a) the sum of (i) the par value or stated value (as the case may be) at such time of all authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Lessee and the Subsidiaries (excluding capital stock held in treasury), plus (or minus in each case of a deficit), (ii) the amount of the paid-in capital and retained earnings at such time of the Lessee and the Subsidiaries, plus (iii) the amount of Unamortized Tax Incentive Grants and Tax Incentive Financings, plus (iv) the amount of IRC 447(i) Suspense Account Amount, minus (b) (i) the net book value (after deducting related depreciation, obsolescence, amortization, valuation and other proper reserves) of all Intangible Assets of the Lessee and the Subsidiaries, plus (ii) the Restricted Basket Transfer Proceeds Amount, plus (iii) the Restricted Subsidiary Net Worth Amount, all determined on a consolidated basis at such time." As used in this definition, "Intangible Assets" with respect to any Person, means the following: (a) deferred assets (including, without limitation, insurance and prepaid taxes), other than prepaid expenses which are refundable; (b) patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, service marks, brand names, franchises, goodwill, experimental expenses and other similar intangibles; (c) unamortized debt discount and expense; and (d) any other interest in any kind of property or asset, whether real, personal or mixed, and whether tangible or intangible, which would be considered to be intangible under generally accepted accounting principles. "IRC 447(i) Suspense Account Amount" means, at any time, the amount included in deferred tax liabilities on a consolidated balance sheet of the Lessee and the Subsidiaries prepared in accordance with GAAP at such time in respect of deferred tax liabilities incurred in connection with section 447(i) of the Code. "Unamortized Tax Incentive Gains and Tax Incentive Financings" means, at any time, the amount included in liabilities on a consolidated balance sheet of the Lessee and the Subsidiaries prepared in accordance with GAAP at such time in respect of all monies granted by political subdivisions as contractual concessions for economic development by the Lessee or the Subsidiaries in such political subdivisions. 6. A definition of the term "GAAP" is added to Section 1 of the Lease immediately following the definition of "Extended Term" in such Section, to read in its entirety as follows: ""GAAP" means accounting principles as promulgated from time to time in statements, opinions and pronouncements by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Financial Accounting Standards Board and in such statements, opinions and pronouncements of such other entities with respect to financial accounting of for-profit entities as shall be accepted by a substantial segment of the accounting profession in the United States." 7. The definition of "Level 2" in Section 1 of the Lease is amended by adding the following phrase at the end of such definition, to read in its entirety as follows: "and the minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of the Lessee is greater than or equal to $300 million". 8.
