	 	5	 	In the event that a total loss event occurs to a unit component and Lessee has paid
stipulated loss payment with respect to said component and paid other unpaid amounts with
respect to such component or the total loss, said unit component shall be removed from
transactions set forth in the related agreements, and Lessee shall be exempt from
obligations to pay future lease payment with respect to said unit component part.

Lessee’s consultation with a manufacturer or maintenance company of the Property after
delivery of such component, that it does not meet Lessee’s required specification, a
total loss event is deemed to have occurred immediately after delivery on the delivery
date for reasons for which Lessee is not responsible, and the provisions of this Article
shall apply accordingly.

the case where Lessor judges, at its own discretion, that the value of the Property or
its unit component after replacement will decrease compared to the value before
replacement (excluding a minor decrease)). Such replacement shall take place at the
expense of Lessee if Lessor, the Borrower, SD Receivables Assignee and the Lenders agree
on conditions with respect to a replacement property, its cost and other matters of
consideration. Provided however, only where obtaining prior written consent is difficult
