     Administrator shall include in the lease contract(s) a 
     purchase option that can be exercised at the conclusion of

     foregoing limitation shall not apply if the lease is entered 
     into with a publicly-held corporation or publicly-held entity 
     for the general benefit of such corporation or entity.
       Provided further, prior to entering into this lease or 
     approving a novation agreement involving a change of 
     ownership under this lease, the Administrator of General
