INDEMNIFICATION: (a) Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify Lessor, its agents, employees, successors and assigns (on an after tax basis) from and against any and all losses, damages, penalties, injuries, claims, actions and suits, including legal expenses, of whatsoever kind and nature arising out of or relating to the -7- Equipment or this Agreement, except to the extent the losses, damages, penalties, injuries, claims, actions, suits or expenses result from Lessor's gross negligence or willful misconduct ("Claims").

Lessee shall, upon request, defend any actions based on, or arising out of, any of the foregoing. (b) (i) Lessee hereby acknowledges that it is the Lessor's belief that on the Lease Commencement Date for any unit of Equipment, such unit will qualify for all of the items of deduction and credit specified in Section C of the applicable Schedule ("Tax Benefits") in the hands of Lessor, and (ii) Lessee hereby represents, warrants and covenants that at no time during the term of this Agreement will Lessee take or omit to take, nor will it permit any sublessee or assignee to take or omit to take, any action (whether or not such act or omission is otherwise permitted by Lessor or by this Agreement), which will result in the disqualification of any Equipment for, or recapture of, all or any portion of such Tax Benefits. (c) If as a result of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Lessee contained in this Agreement or any Schedule (i) tax counsel of Lessor shall determine that Lessor is not entitled to claim on its Federal income tax return all or any portion of the Tax Benefits with respect to any Equipment, or (ii) any Tax Benefit claimed on the Federal income tax return of Lessor is disallowed or adjusted by the Internal Revenue Service, or (Iii) any Tax Benefit is recalculated or recaptured (any determination, disallowance, adjustment, recalculation or recapture being a "Loan"), then Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as an indemnity and as additional rent, an amount that shall, in the reasonable opinion of Lessor, cause Lessor's after-tax economic yields and cash flows to equal the Net Economic Return that would have been realized by Lessor if such Loss had not occurred. Such amount shall be payable upon demand accompanied by a statement describing in reasonable detail such Loss and the computation of such amount. The economic yields and cash flows shall be computed on the same assumptions, including tax rates as were used by Lessor in originally evaluating the transaction ("Net Economic Return").

If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on the Fair Market Value at least one hundred thirty-five (135) days before lease expiration, Lessor shall appoint an independent appraiser (reasonably acceptable to Lessee) to determine Fair Market Value. The independent appraiser's determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Lessee shall bear all costs associated with any such appraisal.

Title to the Equipment is held by U.S. Bancorp Equipment Finance, Inc. f/k/a U.S. Bancorp Leasing & Financial ("US Bancorp"). The Equipment is used and had previously been leased by Scandia Leasing Company to Console Foods Corporation pursuant to a written Equipment Lease and Lease Schedule dated July 27, 1998 (the "Prior Lease"). US Bancorp acquired the Equipment by taking an assignment of the Prior Lease by Assignment dated November 30, 1998. 2. US Bancorp filed a state court action against Console Foods based upon a breach of the obligations due under the Prior Lease. US Bancorp thereafter entered into a Stipulation to Judgment with Console Foods in the state court action, which stipulation provided in pertinent part that the Prior Lease was a true finance lease subject to a purchase option equal to the greater of the fair market value of the Equipment or five percent (5%) of the total Equipment Cost. Console Foods defaulted under the terms of the state court stipulation to judgment and in or about September, 1999 a Judgment Pursuant to Stipulation was entered in the state court action in favor of US Bancorp for both money and possession of the Equipment. In May, 2002, US Bancorp obtained a writ of execution for possession of the Equipment and in June, 2002, US Bancorp obtained an ex parte order in aid of enforcement of judgment. The writ and order permitted US Bancorp to take possession of the Equipment and exercise its remedies under the judgment and the Prior Lease. General Electric Capital Corporation 08/01/02 Page 2 3. US Bancorp retained the services of Overhill to take possession and store the Equipment pending disposition. Overhill currently has possession of the Equipment but title to the Equipment remains in US Bancorp exclusively. Overhill has not paid any sum for or on account of the Equipment (whether in the form of a down payment, deposit or partial purchase price) and currently does not have title to or any interest in the Equipment. Overhill has not used the Equipment in its trade or business nor exercised any rights of ownership. 4. US Bancorp will deliver to GE Capital a Bill of Sale for the Equipment that will permit GE Capital to acquire good title to the Equipment free from all liens and encumbrances whatsoever, copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated here by this reference. 5. US Bancorp understands that GE Capital is relying upon these representations and warranties in acquiring the Equipment and entering into the Lease with Overhill and would not acquire the Equipment nor enter into the Lease without these representations and warranties. 6. US Bancorp does hereby indemnify and hold harmless GE Capital for any loss, liability or expense arising from the breach by such party of any of the foregoing representations, warranties and agreements.
