This insurance shall be provided by an insurance company and agent acceptable to Lessor and Lessor reserves the right to reject any insurance company or agent; however, Lessor agrees it will not do so unreasonably.

D. Attorney-in-Fact. Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as Lessee's Attorney-in-Fact to execute and deliver proofs of claim, receive payments, endorse checks and other documents, and to take any other actions necessary to pursue insurance claims and recover payments. Lessor has the right to offset any and all costs and expenses associated with pursuing claims and recovering payments from the amount recovered before distributing recovered payments, if any, to Lessee.

E. Failure to Procure and Maintain Insurance. Lessee shall not operate the Vehicle, under any circumstances, without insurance coverage required herein and by applicable regulatory authorities. Lessee shall have the entire burden of ensuring that Lessor has full and complete notice of all insurance coverages on the Vehicle, and the failure by any insurance company to provide notice to Lessor of insurance coverage shall not constitute a defense by Lessee to the exercise of any remedies granted Lessor hereunder. In the event Lessee fails to procure and maintain the required insurance or provide evidence of such insurance, such failure shall be deemed to be a material default hereunder and the Vehicle shall be immediately returned to Lessor, if alloweabl e under applicable law unless Lessor directs Lessee otherwise. Lessor, at its sole discretion, may (1) purchase insurance and charge Lessee for the cost of the insurance plus administrative expenses or (2) place the vehicle on an existing policy of Lessor and charge Lessee a reasonable percentage of the premium for such insurance. This insurance need not protect Lessee’s interests and need not be the same coverage as the Lessee is required to maintain under this Section 3. The coverage that Lessor purchases or maintains may not pay any claim by Lessee or any claim that is made against Lessee. Lessor has no obligation to purchase such insurance and Lessor’s purchase does not forgive any default or otherwise modify the Lessee’s obligations, including the obligation to maintain insurance. If Lessee does not maintain the required insurance Lessor may, if allowable under applicable law, terminate the Lease at any

time regardless of whether Lessor has purchased insurance on the Vehicle or placed the Vehicle on an existing policy.
