affix in a prominent position on each unit of Equipment plates, tags or other
identifying labels showing the interest therein of Lessor. (b) Lessee will not,

Casualty Occurrence (the "Payment Date"), Lessee shall pay Lessor the sum of
(x) the Stipulated Loss Value of such unit calculated as of the rental payment
date next preceding such Casualty Occurrence ("Calculation Date",); and (y) all
rental and other amounts which are due hereunder as of the Payment Date. Upon

such unit) Lessee shall be entitled to retain possession of such unit.
VIII. LOSS OR DAMAGE:
Lessee hereby assumes and shall bear the entire risk of any loss, theft, damage
to, or destruction of, any unit of Equipment from any cause whatsoever from
the time the Equipment is shipped to Lessee until it is returned to Lessor.
IX. INSURANCE:
Lessee agrees, at its own expense, to keep all Equipment insured for
such amounts and against such hazards as Lessor may require, including, but not
limited to, insurance for damage to or loss of such Equipment and liability
coverage for personal injuries, death or property damage, with Lessor named as
additional insured and with a loss payable clause in favor of Lessor, as its
interest may appear, irrespective of any breach of warranty or other act or
omission of Lessee. All such policies shall be with companies, and on terms,
satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee agrees to deliver to Lessor evidence of
insurance satisfactory to Lessor. No insurance shall be subject to any
co-insurance clause. Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as Lessee's
attorney-in-fact to make proof of loss and claim for insurance, and to make
adjustments with insurers and to receive payment of and execute or endorse all
documents, checks or drafts in connection with payments made as a result of
such insurance policies. Any expense of Lessor in adjusting or collecting
insurance shall be borne by Lessee. Lessee will not make adjustments with
insurers except (i) with respect to claims for damage to any unit of Equipment
where the repair costs do not exceed 10% of such unit's fair market value, or
(ii) with Lessor's written consent. Said policies shall provide that the
insurance may not be altered or canceled by the insurer until after thirty (30)
days written notice to Lessor. Lessor may, at its option, apply proceeds of
insurance, in whole or in part, to (i) repair or replace Equipment or any
portion thereof, or (ii) satisfy any obligation of Lessee to Lessor hereunder.

X. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT:
(a) Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement or any
Schedule, Lessee shall promptly, at its own cost and expense: (i) perform any
testing and repairs required to place the affected units of Equipment in the
same condition and appearance as when received by Lessee (reasonable wear and
tear excepted) and in good working order for their originally intended purpose;
(ii) if deinstallation, disassembly or crating is required, cause such units to
be deinstalled, disassembled and crated by an authorized manufacturer's
representative or such other service person as is satisfactory to Lessor; and
(iii) return such units to a location within the continental United States as
Lessor shall direct. (b) Until Lessee has fully complied with the requirements
of Section X(a) above, Lessee's rent payment obligation and all other
obligations under this Agreement shall continue from month to month
notwithstanding any expiration or termination of the lease term. Lessor may
terminate such continued leasehold interest upon ten (10) days notice to
Lessee.
XI. DEFAULT:
(a) Lessor may in writing declare this Agreement in default if:
Lessee breaches its obligation to pay rent or any other sum when due and fails
to cure the breach within ten (10) days; Lessee breaches any of its insurance
obligations under Section IX; Lessee breaches any of its other obligations and
fails to cure that breach within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof;
any representation or warranty made by Lessee in connection with this Agreement
shall be false or misleading in any material respect; Lessee becomes insolvent
or ceases to do business as a going concern; any Equipment is illegally used;
or a petition is filed by or against Lessee under any bankruptcy or insolvency
laws and is not dismissed within 60 days if such petition is involuntarily
filed. Such declaration shall apply to all Schedules except as specifically
excepted by Lessor. (b) After default, at the request of Lessor, Lessee shall
comply with the provisions of Section X(a). Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to
enter, with or without legal process, any premises where any Equipment is
believed to be and take possession thereof. Lessee shall, without further
demand, forthwith pay to Lessor (i) as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain
and not as a penalty, the Stipulated Loss Value of the Equipment (calculated as
of the rental next preceding the declaration of default), and (ii) all rentals
and other sums then due hereunder. Lessor may, but shall not be required to,
sell Equipment at private or public sale, in bulk or in parcels, with or
without notice, and without having the Equipment present at the place of sale;
or Lessor may, but shall not be required to, lease, otherwise dispose of or
keep idle all or part of the Equipment; and Lessor may use Lessee's premises
for any or all of the foregoing without liability for rent, costs, damages or
otherwise. The proceeds of sale, lease or other disposition, if any, shall be
applied in the following order of priorities: (1) to pay all of Lessor's
reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred in taking, removing, holding,
repairing and selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of Equipment; then, (2)
to the extent not previously paid by Lessee, to pay Lessor all sums due from
Lessee hereunder; then (3) to reimburse to Lessee any sums previously paid by
Lessee as liquidated damages; and (4) any surplus shall be paid to Lessee.
Lessee shall pay any deficiency in (1) and (2) forthwith. (c) The foregoing
remedies are cumulative, and any or all thereof may be exercised in lieu of or
in addition to each other or any remedies at law, in equity, or under statute.
Lessee waives notice of sale or other disposition (and the time and place
thereof), and the manner and place of any advertising. If permitted by law,
Lessee shall pay reasonable attorney's fees actually incurred by Lessor in
enforcing the provisions of this Lease and any ancillary documents. Waiver of
any default shall not be a waiver of any other or subsequent default. (d) Any
default under the terms of this or any other agreement between Lessor and
Lessee may be declared by Lessor a default under this and any such other
agreement.

XII. ASSIGNMENT:
Lessor may, without the consent of Lessee, assign this Agreement or
any Schedule. Lessee agrees that if Lessee receives written notice of an
assignment from Lessor, Lessee will pay all rent and other amounts payable
under any assigned Equipment Schedule to such assignee or as instructed by
Lessor. Lessee further agrees to confirm in writing receipt of a notice of
assignment as may be reasonably requested by assignee. Lessee hereby waives
and agrees not to assert against any such assignee any defense, set-off,
recoupment claim or counterclaim which Lessee has or may at any time have
against Lessor for any reason whatsoever. Notwithstanding such assignment or
any provision hereof to the contrary, Lessee may assert directly against Lessor
any such claims that arise on account of any act, omission, event or occurrence
that shall have taken place before such assignment.
XIII. NET LEASE; NO SET-OFF, ETC.:

other amounts due hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional. Lessee shall
not be entitled to any abatement or reductions of, or set-offs against, said
rent or other amounts, including, without limitation, those arising or
allegedly arising out of claims (present or future, alleged or actual, and
including claims arising out of strict tort or negligence of Lessor) of Lessee
against Lessor under this Agreement or otherwise. Nor shall this Agreement
terminate or the obligations of Lessee be affected by reason of any defect in
or damage to, or loss of possession, use or destruction of, any Equipment from
whatsoever cause. It is the intention of the parties that rents and other
amounts due hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events in the manner
and at the times set forth herein unless the obligation to do so shall have
been terminated pursuant to the express terms hereof.
XIV. INDEMNIFICATION:
(a) Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, save and keep harmless
Lessor, its agents, employees, successors and assigns from and against any and
all losses, damages, penalties, injuries, claims, actions and suits, including
legal expenses ("Damages"), of whatsoever kind and nature, in contract or tort,
whether caused by the active or passive negligence of Lessor or otherwise, and
including, but not limited to, Lessor's strict liability in tort, arising out
of (i) the selection, manufacture, purchase, acceptance or rejection of
Equipment, the ownership of Equipment during the term of this Agreement, and
the delivery, lease, possession, maintenance, uses, condition, return or
operation of Equipment (including, without limitation, latent and other
defects, whether or not discoverable by Lessor or Lessee and any claim for
patent, trademark or copyright infringement or environmental damage) or (ii)
the condition of Equipment sold or disposed of after use by Lessee, any
sublessee or employees of Lessee. Lessee shall, upon request, defend any
actions based on, or arising out of, any of the foregoing. (b) All of Lessor's
rights, privileges and indemnities contained in this Section XIV shall survive
the expiration or other termination of this Agreement and the rights,
privileges and indemnities contained herein are expressly made for the benefit
of, and shall be enforceable by Lessor, its successors and assigns.

obligations to indemnify Lessor against any Damages to the extent they are
suffered or incurred on account of Lessor's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
XV. DISCLAIMER:
LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS SELECTED THE EQUIPMENT WITHOUT ANY
ASSISTANCE FROM LESSOR, ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES. LESSOR DOES NOT MAKE, HAS NOT
MADE, NOR SHALL BE DEEMED TO MAKE OR HAVE MADE, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION,
EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL,

WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT LEASED HEREUNDER OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY AS TO DESIGN, COMPLIANCE WITH
SPECIFICATIONS, QUALITY OF MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR ANY PURPOSE, USE OR OPERATION, SAFETY, PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT
INFRINGEMENT, OR TITLE. All such risks, as between Lessor and Lessee, are to
be borne by Lessee. Without limiting the foregoing, Lessor shall have no
responsibility or liability to Lessee or any other person with respect to any
of the following, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Lessor (i) any liability, loss or damage caused or
alleged to be caused directly or indirectly by any Equipment, any inadequacy
thereof, any deficiency or defect (latent or otherwise) therein, or any other
circumstance in connection therewith; (ii) the use, operation or performance of
any Equipment or any risks relating thereto; (iii) any interruption of service,
loss of business or anticipated profits or consequential damages; or (iv) the
delivery, operation, servicing, maintenance, repair, improvement or replacement
of any Equipment. If, and so long as, no default exists under this Lease,
Lessee shall be, and hereby is, authorized during the term of this Lease to
assert and enforce, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, from time to time, in
the name of and for the account of Lessor and/or Lessee, as their interests may
appear, whatever claims and rights Lessor may have against any Supplier of the
Equipment.
XVI. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF LESSEE:
Lessee hereby represents and warrants to Lessor that on the date
hereof and on the date of execution of each Schedule: (a) Lessee has adequate
power and capacity to enter into, and perform under, this Agreement and all
related documents (together, the "Documents") and is duly qualified to do
business wherever necessary to carry on its present business and operations,
including the jurisdiction(s) where the Equipment is or is to be located. (b)
The Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Lessee and
constitute valid, legal and binding agreements, enforceable in accordance with
their terms, except to the extent that the enforcement of remedies therein
provided may be limited under applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws. (c) No
approval, consent or withholding of objections is required from any
governmental authority or instrumentality with respect to the entry into or
performance by Lessee of the Documents except such as have already been
obtained. (d) The entry into and performance by Lessee of the Documents will
not: (i) violate any judgment, order, law or regulation applicable to Lessee or
any provision of Lessee's Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws; or (ii)
result in any breach of, constitute a default under or result in the creation
of any lien, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon any Equipment
pursuant to any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan or credit
agreement or other instrument (other than this Agreement) to which Lessee is a
party. (e) There are no suits or proceedings pending or threatened in court or
before any commission, board or other administrative agency against or
affecting Lessee, which will have a material adverse effect on the ability of
Lessee to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. (f) The Equipment
accepted under any Certificate of Acceptance is and will remain tangible
personal property. (g) Each Balance Sheet and Statement of Income delivered to
Lessor has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and since the date of the most recent such Balance Sheet and
Statement of Income, there has been no material adverse change in the financial
condition of Lessee and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. (h) Lessee is and
will be at all times validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the State of its incorporation (specified in the first sentence of this
Agreement). (i) The Equipment will at all times be used for commercial or
business purposes.
XVII. OWNERSHIP FOR TAX PURPOSES, GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST; USURY SAVINGS:
-6-
7
(a) For income tax purposes, Lessor will treat Lessee as the
owner of the Equipment. Accordingly, Lessor will not claim any tax benefits
available to an owner of the Equipment. (b) Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a
first security interest in the Equipment, together with all additions,
attachments, accessions, accessories and accessions thereto whether or not
furnished by the Supplier of the Equipment and any and all substitutions,
replacements or exchanges therefor, and any and all insurance and/or other
proceeds of the property in and against which a security interest is granted
hereunder. (c) It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with any
applicable usury laws to the extent that any Schedule is determined to be
subject to such laws; accordingly, it is agreed that, notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary in any Schedule or the Lease, in no event shall any
Schedule require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of
the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any such excess interest is
contracted for, charged or received under any Schedule or the Lease, or in the
event that all of the principal balance shall be prepaid, so that under any of
such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for, charged or received
under any Schedule or the Lease shall exceed the maximum amount of interest
permitted by applicable law, then in such event (a) the provisions of this
paragraph shall govern and control, (b) neither Lessee nor any other person or
entity now or hereafter liable for the payment hereof shall be obligated to pay
the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum
amount of interest permitted by applicable law, (c) any such excess which may
have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid
principal balance or refunded to Lessee, at the option of the Lessor, and (d)
the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum
lawful contract rate allowed under applicable law as now or hereafter construed
by the courts having jurisdiction thereof. It is further agreed that without
limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest
contracted for, charged or received under any Schedule or the Lease which are
made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum
lawful contract rate, shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the
period of the full stated term of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, all
interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Lessee or
otherwise by Lessor in connection with such indebtedness; provided, however,
that if any applicable state law is amended or the law of the United States of
America preempts any applicable state law, so that it becomes lawful for Lessor
to receive a greater interest per annum rate than is presently allowed, the
Lessee agrees that, on the effective date of such amendment or preemption, as
the case may be, the lawful maximum hereunder shall be increased to the maximum
interest per annum rate allowed by the amended state law or the law of the
United States of America.
XVIII. EARLY TERMINATION:
(a) On or after the First Termination Date (specified in the
applicable Schedule), Lessee may, so long as no default exists hereunder,
terminate this Agreement as to all (but not less than all) of the Equipment on
such Schedule as of a rent payment date ("Termination Date") upon at least 90
days prior written notice to Lessor. (b) Lessee shall, and Lessor may, solicit
cash bids for the Equipment on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS without recourse to or
warranty from Lessor, express or implied ("AS IS BASIS"). On or prior to the
Termination Date, Lessee shall (i) certify to Lessor any bids received by
Lessee and (ii) pay to Lessor (A) the Termination Value (calculated as of the
rental due on the Termination Date) for the Equipment, and (B) all rent and
other sums due and unpaid as of the Termination Date. (c) Provided that all
amounts due hereunder have been paid on the Termination Date, Lessor and Lessee
shall (i) sell the Equipment on an AS IS BASIS, for cash to the highest bidder
and (ii) the proceeds of such sale (net of any related expenses) shall be
refunded to Lessee. If such sale is not consummated, no termination shall
occur and Lessor shall refund the Termination Value (less
-7-
8
any expenses incurred by Lessor) to Lessee. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lessor may elect by written notice, at any time prior to the Termination Date,
not to sell the Equipment. In that event, on the Termination Date Lessee shall
(i) return the Equipment (in accordance with Section X) and (ii) pay to Lessor
all amounts required under Section XVIII(b) less the amount of the highest bid
certified by Lessee to Lessor.
XIX. EARLY PURCHASE OPTION:
(a) Provided that the Lease has not been earlier terminated and
provided, further that Lessee is not in default under the Lease or any other
agreement between Lessor and Lessee, Lessee may, UPON AT LEAST 30 DAYS BUT NOT
MORE THAN 270 DAYS PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE TO LESSOR OF LESSEE'S IRREVOCABLE
ELECTION TO EXERCISE SUCH OPTION, purchase all (but not less than all) of the
Equipment listed and described in any Schedule on an AS IS BASIS on any Rent
Payment Date following the First Termination Date as set forth in such
Schedule, and prior to the date which is the scheduled expiration of such
Schedule (the "Early Purchase Date"), for a price equal to the sum of (i) the
Termination Value (calculated as of the Early Purchase Date) for the Equipment,
and (ii) all rent and other sums due and unpaid as of the Early Purchase Date
(such sum being the "Early Option Price"), plus all applicable sales taxes.
(The purchase option granted by this subsection shall be referred to herein as
the "Early Purchase Option".)
(b) If Lessee exercises its Early Purchase Option with respect to
the Equipment leased under any Schedule, then on the Early Purchase Date Lessee
shall pay to Lessor in immediately available funds the Early Option Price, plus
all applicable sales taxes.
XX. END OF LEASE OPTIONS:
So long as Lessee shall not have exercised its option to terminate
this Lease pursuant to Section XVIII hereof or exercise its Early Purchase
Option pursuant to Section XIX hereof, and provided that Lessee is not in
default under this Lease or any other agreement between Lessor and Lessee,
Lessee shall have the option, upon the scheduled expiration of the term of any
Schedule, to return or to purchase, for the applicable Realized Value (as
defined below), all (but not less than all) of the Equipment leased under such
Schedule upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) Determination of Realized Value. The Realized Value for each
item of Equipment on the Schedule shall be determined as follows:
(i) If Lessee elects to purchase the Equipment, the
Realized Value of each item of Equipment shall be its Estimated Residual Value.
(ii) If Lessee elects not to purchase the Equipment,
Lessee and Lessor shall arrange for the sale of such Equipment on an AS IS
BASIS, provided that Lessee may not bid, directly or indirectly. Each item of
Equipment shall be sold by Lessor for its then determined fair market value.
If any item of Equipment is not sold within 30 days after Schedule Expiration,
then Lessee and Lessor agree, in view of the uncertainties of market conditions
and the parties' inability to predict what the actual sale price of such item
would be, that the Realized Value of such item shall be deemed to equal zero,
for purposes of computing Lessee's liability as provided in paragraph (b)
below. Upon the sale of the item at any time after the expiration of such 30
day period, Lessor will apply the Realized Value (i) to refund to Lessee,
without interest, any amount which Lessee may have previously paid to Lessor
with respect to such item as required under paragraph (b) and (ii) to pay to
Lessee the amount by which the Realized Value exceeds the Estimated Residual
Value.
-8-
9
(b) Lessee Liability. If the Realized Value of the Equipment is
less than the Estimated Residual Value thereof, Lessor shall notify Lessee of
such fact in writing and Lessee shall, within 10 days after receipt of such
notice, pay to Lessor, as an adjustment to the rental payable under the Lease,
an amount equal to the difference between the Realized Value and the Estimated
Residual Value; provided, however, Lessee's Liability shall be limited to *% of
Lessor's Cost of the Equipment as set forth in the Schedule.
* REFER TO TABLE I TO SCHEDULE NO. 001 ("LESSEE OBLIGATION") FOR APPLICABLE
PERCENTAGES.
(c) Lessor Liability. If the Realized Value of the Equipment
exceeds the Estimated Residual Value thereof, and provided that Lessee is not
then in default under the Lease, Lessor shall pay to Lessee, as an adjustment
to the rent payable under the Lease, an amount equal to 100% of such excess,
but only to the extent Lessor actually receives the Realized Value in available
funds.
(d) Definitions of Certain Terms. For purposes of this Section XX:
(i) "Equipment" means all but not less than all of the
items of Equipment described on the Schedule;
(ii) "Estimated Residual Value" means **% of Lessor's Cost
of the Equipment as set out on the Schedule;
** REFER TO TABLE I TO SCHEDULE NO. 001 ("LESSOR RESIDUAL RISK
AMOUNT") FOR APPLICABLE PERCENTAGES.
(iii) "Realized Value" means the net proceeds realized by
Lessor from sale of the Equipment after deduction of (x) expenses of such sale,
if any, and (y) all sums due under the Lease as of Schedule Expiration that
remain unpaid as of the date of the sale;
(iv) "Schedule Expiration" means the last day of the Basic
Term of the Lease as to the Equipment.
XXI. MISCELLANEOUS:

Agreement, Lessor shall have the right, but shall not be obligated to, effect
such compliance, in whole or in part; and reasonable expenses and obligations
incurred or assumed by Lessor in effecting such compliance shall constitute
additional rent due to Lessor within five days after the date Lessor sends
notice to Lessee requesting payment. Lessor's effecting such compliance shall
not be a waiver of Lessee's default. (e) Any rent or other amount not paid to
Lessor when due hereunder shall bear interest, both before and after any
judgment or termination hereof, at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per
annum or the maximum rate allowed by law. Any provisions in this Agreement and

non-cash), including insurance proceeds, thereof; and (ii) to the
extent the Equipment may constitute or be deemed to be Lessee's

any applicable jurisdiction (the "Inventory"), a first priority
security interest in such Inventory, which shall mean any and all
Equipment, offered or furnished under any contract of service or
intended for sale or lease, any and all additions, attachments,
accessories and accessions thereto, any and all substitutions,
replacements or exchanges therefor, any and all leases, subleases,
rentals, accounts and contracts with respect to the Equipment which may

not limited to, any right of Lessee to payment for Equipment sold or
leased or under any contract for services whether or not evidenced by
an instrument or chattel paper, and whether or not such right has been

4. Section XX shall be deleted in its entirety and the following
substituted in its stead:
XX. END OF BASIC TERM OPTIONS. At the end of the
Basic Term, Lessee shall have only the options specified in this
Section XX:
(a) So long as Lessee shall not have exercised its
option to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section XVIII hereof nor
exercised its Early Purchase Option pursuant to Section XIX hereof, and
provided that Lessee is not then in default under this Lease or any
other agreement between Lessor and Lessee, Lessee shall have the
option, upon the expiration of the Basic Term of any Schedule, to renew
the Lease with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Equipment
leased thereunder for an additional term of twelve (12) months (the
"Renewal Term") at a lease rate factor of 2.0740%. If Lessee desires to
exercise this option, it shall give Lessor written notice of its
election to renew not less than 90 days nor more than 180 days before
the expiration of the Basic Term of such Schedule.
(b) So long as Lessee shall not have exercised its
option to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section XVIII hereof nor
exercised its Early Purchase Option pursuant to Section XIX hereof, nor
exercised its option to renew pursuant to subparagraph (a) of this
Section, and provided that Lessee is not then in default under this
Lease or any other agreement between Lessor and Lessee, Lessee shall
have the option, upon the expiration of the Basic Term of any Schedule,
to return or to purchase, for the applicable Realized Value (as defined
below), all (but not less than all) of the Equipment leased under such
Schedule upon the following terms and conditions:
3
15
(1) Determination of Realized Value. The
Realized Value for each item of Equipment on the Schedule shall
be determined as follows:
(A) If Lessee elects to purchase
the Equipment, the Realized Value of each item of Equipment
shall be its Estimated Residual Value.
(B) If lessee elects not to
purchase the Equipment, Lessee and Lessor shall arrange for the
sale of such Equipment on an AS IS BASIS, provided that Lessee
may not bid, directly or indirectly. Each item of Equipment
shall be sold by Lessor for its then determined Fair Market
Value. If any item of Equipment is not sold within 90 days
after Schedule Expiration, then Lessee and Lessor agree, in
view of the uncertainties of market conditions and the parties'
inability to predict what the actual sale price of such item
would be, that the Realized Value of such item shall be deemed
to equal zero, for purposes of computing Lessee's liability as
provided in paragraph (b) below. Upon the sale of the item at
any time after the expiration of such 90 day period, Lessor
will apply the Realized Value (i) to refund to Lessee, without
interest, any amount which Lessee may have previously paid to
Lessor with respect to such item as required under paragraph
(b) and (ii) to pay to Lessee the amount by which the Realized
Value exceeds the Estimated Residual Value.
(2) Lessee Liability. If the Realized
Value of the Equipment is less than the Estimated Residual
Value thereof, Lessor shall notify Lessee of such fact in
writing and Lessee shall, within 10 days after receipt of such
notice, pay to Lessor, as an adjustment to the rental payable
under the Lease, an amount equal to the difference between the
Realized Value and the Estimated Residual Value; provided,
however, Lessee's Liability shall be limited to the applicable
percentage of Capitalized Lessor's Cost listed under "Lessee
Obligation" in Table 1.
(3) Lessor Liability. If the Realized
Value of the Equipment exceeds the Estimated Residual Value
thereof, and provided that Lessee is not then in default under
the Lease, Lessor shall pay to Lessee, as an adjustment to the
rent payable under the Lease, an amount equal to 100% of such
excess, but only to the extent Lessor actually receives the
Realized Value in available funds.
(4) Definitions of Certain Terms. For
purposes of this Section XX:
(A) "Equipment" means all but not
less than all of the items of Equipment described on the
Schedule;
(B) "Estimated Residual Value"
means the applicable percentage of Capitalized Lessor's Cost
listed under "TRAC Amount" in Table I;
(C) "Realized Value" means the net
proceeds realized by Lessor from sale of the Equipment after
deduction of (x) expenses of such sale, if any, and (y) all
sums due under the Lease as of Schedule Expiration that remain
unpaid as of the date of the sale;
4
16
(D) "Schedule Expiration" means the last
day of the Basic Term or applicable Renewal Term of the Lease
as to the Equipment.
(5) Notice of Election. Lessee shall give Lessor
written notice of its election to purchase the Equipment (or
not) not less than 90 days nor more than 180 days before the
expiration of the Basic Term of such Schedule.
4. Section XXI shall be added as follows:
XXI. END OF RENEWAL TERM OPTIONS. At the end of
each Renewal Term, Lessee shall have only the options specified in this
Section XXI:
(a) So long as Lessee shall not have exercised its
option to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section XVIII hereof nor
exercised its Early Purchase Option pursuant to Section XX hereof, nor
exercised its purchase option pursuant to Section XX hereof, and
provided that Lessee is not then in default under this Lease or any
other agreement between Lessor and Lessee, Lessee shall have the
option, upon the expiration of the first Renewal Term of any Schedule,
to renew the Lease with respect to all, but not less than all, of the
Equipment leased thereunder for an additional term of twelve (12)
months at a lease rate factor of 2.07400%, and upon the expiration of
the second Renewal Term to renew the Lease with respect to all, but not
less than all, of the Equipment leased thereunder for an additional
term of thirteen (13) months (the "Third Renewal Term"). At the end of
any Renewal Term, provided that Lessee is not then in default under
this Lease or any other agreement between Lessor and Lessee, Lessee may
purchase all, and not less than all, of such Equipment for a cash price
calculated as set out in paragraph (b) of Section XX, using the
appropriate TRAC Amount from Table I for the time the option is
exercised. If Lessee desires to exercise this option, it shall give
Lessor written notice of its election to renew not less than 90 days
nor more than 180 days before the expiration of the Basic Term of such
Schedule.
(b) So long as Lessee shall not have exercised its
option to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section XVIII hereof nor
exercised its Early Purchase Option pursuant to Section XIX hereof, nor
exercised its option to renew pursuant to subparagraph (a) of this
Section, and provided that Lessee is not then in default under this
Lease or any other agreement between Lessor and Lessee, Lessee shall
have the option, upon the expiration of any Renewal Term of any
Schedule, to return or to purchase, for the applicable Realized Value
(as defined below), all (but not less than all) of the Equipment leased
under such Schedule upon the terms and conditions set out in paragraph
XX(b).
(c) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the
contrary, Lessee shall have no right to extend or renew the lease at
the end of the Third Renewal Term.
5. Section XXII shall be added as follows:
XXII. SUBSTITUTION OF EQUIPMENT.
(a) So long as no event of default hereunder
shall have occurred and be continuing, and upon not less than 90 days
prior written notice from Lessee to Lessor of
5
17
Lessee's intent to substitute equipment, Lessee may at its own cost and
expense, including all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of
Lessor, replace any item of Equipment which may from time to time
suffer a Casualty Occurrence or otherwise become worn out, inoperable
or technologically obsolete for Lessee's purposes with an item of
equivalent value as determined by Lessor in the reasonable exercise of
its business judgment, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
All such replacement Equipment shall be free and clear of all liens and
shall be in at least as good operating condition and have a value,
utility and remaining useful life at least equal to the Equipment being
replaced, assuming such replaced Equipment was in the condition and
repair required by the terms of this Lease.
(b) Prior to the time of any replacement of an
item of Equipment pursuant to Section XVIII (a) hereof, Lessee will at
its sole cost and expense, including all reasonable and documented
costs and expenses of Lessor:
(i) furnish Lessor with a Xxxx of Sale
with respect to such replacement Equipment;
(ii) cause an Equipment Schedule
amendment covering such replacement Equipment to be duly executed and
delivered;
(iii) furnish Lessor with such evidence of
compliance with the insurance provisions of Section IX hereof with
respect to such replacement Equipment as Lessor may request;
(iv) At Lessor's request furnish Lessor
with a certificate of an equipment appraiser satisfactory to Lessor
certifying that such replacement Equipment is new, has a value, utility
and useful life at least equal to that of the Equipment replaced,
assuming such replaced Equipment was in the condition required by
this Lease;
(v) take such other action, including the
filing of UCC financing statements as Lessor may reasonably request, in
order that such replacement Equipment is duly and properly titled in
Lessor and leased under this Lease.
(c) Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified
in Section XXII(a) and (b) above Lessor will transfer to Lessee without
recourse or warranty all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and
to the replaced Equipment. Lessor shall not be required to make and
may specifically disclaim any representation or warranty as to the
condition of the replaced Equipment and other matters. Each
replacement item of Equipment shall, after such conveyance, be deemed
part of the property leased under this Lease. No such replacement
shall result in any change in rent, Stipulated Loss Value, Termination
Value, Contingent Rental Amount or any Fixed Purchase Price or any
other amount payable hereunder.
(d) Lessee shall be permitted to replace any
number of items of Equipment in accordance with this Section XXII not
more than once during any fiscal quarter during the term of this
Lease.
(e) The notice required by this Section XXII shall
specify the item of Equipment that is to be replaced, identify the item
with which it is to be replaced setting out
6
18
the name of the manufacturer, the model number, the serial number, if
available, and state the date on which the substitution is to take
effect.
Except as expressly modified hereby, all terms and provisions of the Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect as previously agreed by the parties.
This Schedule is not binding or effective with respect to the Agreement or
Equipment until executed on behalf of Lessor and Lessee by authorized
representatives of Lessor and Lessee, respectively.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessee and Lessor have caused this Schedule to be
executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the date first above
written.
