and hold harmless Lessee against and in respect of any Losses relating to, arising from or in connection with any breach by Lessor of any of its covenants, representations or warranties contained in this Lease. 
  
 (c) The indemnification provisions of this Section are
intended to be supplementary to, and not replace or supersede, any other rights and/or remedies available to the parties under this Lease or applicable Law. The right to indemnification and such other rights and remedies shall be available whether
or not a party shall have exercised its right to terminate this Lease under Section 10 hereof. 
  
 10. Termination. 
  
 This Lease may be
terminated prior to the expiration of the Term as follows: (a) by Lessor and Lessee by mutual written consent; (b) by Lessor or Lessee without notice or other action upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the other party or by
Lessor if any execution or other writ or process shall be issued in any proceeding, against the Lessee, whereby the Equipment may be taken or distrained; or (c) by Lessor by notice to Lessee in the event of (i) a Change of Control of Lessee, (ii)

time by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any party hereto of any

 14. Amendment. This Lease may be amended, supplemented or modified
only by a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of each party hereto.
