MASTER MASTERLINE AGREEMENT

MONTHLY RENTAL
Monthly Rentals commence on the Term commencement date specified in the above
section entitled "Equipment Acceptance; Term Commencement Date" and are due
and payable in advance on that date and on the same day of each consecutive
month thereafter. Monthly Rentals will be payable to us addressed to: Mail
Code W-490, X.X. Xxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000 or such other address as
we may direct. You agree to lease the Equipment over the Term and to pay the
full amount of the Monthly Rental when due irrespective of any claims,
demands, set-offs, actions, suits or proceedings that you might have against
us, the Supplier or any other person or entity. You will pay the Monthly
Rental even if the Equipment is damaged or destroyed, if it is defective or
if you no longer can use it. If a Monthly Rental is not made within ten (10)
days after it is due, you agree to pay late charges of five percent (5%) of
each such Monthly Rental, but not exceeding the lawful maximum.
RENT ADJUSTMENTS
The Monthly Rental initially set forth in a Schedule is an estimated figure
based upon our best estimate of the cost of purchase, delivery, assembly (if
called for), taxes, transportation charges and other applicable charges. You
agree that we may adjust the estimated Monthly Rental to an actual figure
based upon our actual costs incurred in acquiring and providing the Equipment
and that you will pay the adjusted Monthly Rental; provided, that if our
actual cost of acquiring and providing the Equipment varies from the
estimated cost by more than ten percent, either of us may terminate the
Schedule by providing written notice to the other within fifteen days after
notice is given by us to you of the actual cost figures. In such an event, you
will pay all costs of disassembly, removal and transportation of the
Equipment for its return to the Supplier or to any other destination of
comparable distance specified by us.
We and you agree that should either the United States government or any state
or local tax authority disallow, eliminate, reduce, recapture, or disqualify,
in whole or in part, the tax benefits claimed under a Schedule by us, you
will then indemnify us by payment, of our choice, of either: (1) supplemental
rent to us during the remaining period of the Term of the Schedule in an
amount necessary to permit us to receive (on an after-tax basis over the full
Term of the Schedule) the same rate of return that we would have realized had
there not been a loss or disallowance of such benefits, together with any
interest or penalties which might be assessed by the governmental
authority(ies) with respect to such loss or disallowance, or (2) a lump sum,
payable on demand, to us, which will be equal to the amount necessary to
permit us to receive (on an after-tax basis over the full Term of that
Schedule) the same rule of return that we would have realized that there not
been a loss or disallowance of such benefits, together with the amount of any
interest or penalties which might be assessed by the governmental
authority(ies) with respect to such loss or disallowance.
TRANSPORTATION, RISK OF LOSS AND TITLE
The Equipment will be shipped to the Site by the Supplier of the Equipment.
Any necessary assembly or installation will be provided for in the Schedule.
You agree to accept shipment of the Equipment and to cooperate with any
assembler to permit the assembler to complete its task without delay.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the purchase order
assignment signed by you and us, you or the Supplier will bear responsibility
for transportation and risk of loss of the Equipment until the Term
commencement date of the applicable Schedule. On the Term commencement date
of the applicable Schedule, you take over all responsibility for
transportation charges and risk of loss. At no time will we bear the risk of
loss. The use of the term "risk of loss" herein shall include, but shall not
be limited to, the entire risk of any loss, theft, damage to, or destruction
of any unit of Equipment from any cause whatsoever.
Title to the Equipment will remain in as free and clear of any lien or
encumbrance of anyone other than us, subject only to your right to peaceful
possession and use under a Schedule. We may label the Equipment in a
prominent place. You agree not to remove labels.
You agree that the Equipment will remain personal property regardless of how
it is attached to real property. You agree that the Equipment will be used by
you solely in the conduct of your business and in a manner complying with all
applicable laws, regulations and insurance policies.
ACCESS AND REMOVAL
We may have unrestricted access to the Equipment at all reasonable times
while a Schedule is in force and unrestricted access at all reasonable times
to remove the Equipment after expiration or early termination of the
Schedule. Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate us to remove the
Equipment after expiration or early termination of the Schedule, as you are
obligated to do so below.
At the expiration or earlier termination of a Schedule, you will arrange for
the removal and return of the Equipment at your expense, including all
transportation to a place designated by us within the Continental United
States of America. If you make modifications to the Site after the Equipment
has been installed which impede the removal of the Equipment, the cost of
removing the impediments and restoring the Site will be at your expense. The
Equipment will be returned to us or our assigns on the expiration or earlier
termination of a Schedule in the same condition and appearance as when
received by you (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and in good working order
and condition, operable in accordance with the Supplier's and, if different,
the manufacturer's then prevailing performance specifications for it. All
waste material and fluid must be removed from the Equipment and disposed of
by you in accordance with then current waste disposal laws. If the Equipment
is not so returned, we, at your sole expense, may have the Equipment restored
to such a condition. If we so require, the units of Equipment shall be
de-installed and crated by an authorized manufacturer's representative or
such other service person as is reasonably satisfactory to us.

modifications or replacements on our terms and rates then in effect.

Care of the Equipment is your sole obligation and responsibility. You agree
to care for and maintain the Equipment in good working order and operating
condition at all times during the Term of a Schedule in accordance with the

replacements, parts and the like as may be necessary to maintain the
Equipment in good working order and operating condition at all times during
the Term of a Schedule in accordance with the Supplier's and, if different,

The cost of all such care, maintenance, repairs, replacement, parts and the
like will be borne solely by you as a normal operating cost incident to a
Schedule. We have the right to inspect the Equipment and its maintenance
records at all reasonable times during the Term of a Schedule.
All repairs, replacements, substitutions, parts, and the like and all other
accessions to the Equipment will become our property and be subject to the
terms and conditions of that Schedule.

uptime performance promise.
UPTIME PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
Under Basic Care coverage, we will determine the performance of the Equipment
at six month intervals during each year the Equipment is under the service
coverage specified in that Schedule.

service defects, the Equipment is unavailable for scanning patients and
diagnosing images on the Equipment display console or operator's console.
Peripheral equipment such as remote console, magnetic tape drive, hard copy
devices, multi-format and laser cameras are excluded from the terms of the

air conditioning protection or failure, power failure and acts of God.
Planned maintenance time will not be included in the calculation of downtime.
If our responding service representative agrees the Equipment is inoperable
due to our design, manufacturing, material or service defects, the Equipment
will be considered out of service from the time the request was received at
our designated facility until the Equipment is once again turned over to you
for operation. Should you fail to give us immediate and unencumbered access
to the Equipment or continue to obtain scans after notifying us of any
Equipment failure, the Equipment will be considered to be in service.
Regardless of anything in this section to the contrary, you will not be
entitled to any benefit under this section if the inability of the Equipment
to operate is due to an event described in the above "Exclusions" provision or
your failure to fulfill your duties described in the above "Your
Responsibilities" provision of "Our Maintenance and Repair Services" section
of this Agreement."
