If Lessor determines that any item of Equipment is lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged beyond repair, Lessee at the option of Lessor will: either (a) replace the same with like equipment in good repair; or (b) on the next Lease Payment date, pay Lessor: (i) all amounts then owed by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease, including the Lease Payment due on such date; and (ii) an amount equal to the applicable Concluding Payment set forth in Exhibit B.

No assignment or reassignment of any of Lessor's right, title or interest in this Lease or the Equipment shall be effective unless and until Lessee shall have received a duplicate original counterpart of the document by which the assignment or reassignment is made, disclosing the name and address of each such assignee; provided, however, that if such assignment is made to a bank or trust company as paying or escrow agent for holders of certificates of participation in the Lease, it shall thereafter be sufficient that a copy of the agency agreement shall have been deposited with Lessee until Lessee shall have been advised that such agency agreement is no longer in effect. DURING THE LEASE TERM LESSEE SHALL KEEP A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE RECORD OF ALL SUCH ASSIGNMENTS IN FORM NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH THE UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, SECTION 103(j), AND THE REGULATIONS, PROPOSED OR EXISTING, FROM TIME TO TIME PROMULGATED THEREUNDER.
