AGREEMENT. NCR Credit Corporation (Lessor) agrees to lease to Lessee and Lessee agrees to lease from Lessor the equipment (Equipment) described in any schedule (Schedule) that incorporates this Master Equipment
Lease Agreement (Agreement) by reference. A Schedule shall incorporate this Agreement by reference by listing the above-referenced Lease Number thereon. Such lease shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as well as by the terms
and conditions set forth in the applicable Schedule. Each Schedule shall constitute an agreement separate and distinct from this Agreement and any other Schedule. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and a Schedule, the
provisions of the Schedule shall govern.

ASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASE DOCUMENTS. Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor a writing acceptable to Lessor whereby Lessor is assigned all of Lessee's rights and interest in and to: (a) the Equipment described
in the applicable Schedule and (b) any purchase order, contract or other documents (collectively, Purchase Documents) relating thereto that Lessee has entered into with the Seller (as specified in the applicable Schedule). If Seller is not an
affiliate of Lessor, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a writing acceptable to Lessor whereby Seller acknowledges, and provides any required consent to, such assignment. If Lessee has not entered into any Purchase Document for the Equipment with Seller,
Lessee authorizes Lessor to act as Lessee's agent to issue a purchase order to Seller for the Equipment, and for associated matters, and such purchase order shall be subject to this Section 2 and all references in this Agreement to Purchase Documents
shall include such purchase order. By executing the applicable Schedule, Lessee represents and warrants that Lessee either (y) has reviewed, approved and received a copy of the applicable Purchase Documents or (z) has been informed by Lessor
(i) of the identity of the Seller, (ii) that Lessee may have rights under the Purchase Documents and (iii) that Lessee may contact Seller for a description of such rights.
|
3.
|
DELIVERY; ACCEPTANCE. Lessee shall cause the Equipment to be delivered to Lessee at the Equipment Location (as specified in the applicable Schedule) and Lessee shall accept the Equipment as soon as it is delivered
or, if acceptance criteria is specified in the applicable Purchase Documents, as soon as it has met such criteria. Lessee shall evidence its acceptance of the Equipment and commencement of the lease with respect thereto by executing and delivering to
Lessor a commencement certificate (Commencement Certificate) in a form acceptable to a Lessor. By executing and delivering a Commencement Certificate to Lessor, (a) Lessee represents and warrants that it has selected the Equipment and Seller
specified on the applicable Schedule and (b) Lessee shall irrevocably accept such Equipment under lease.
|
4.
|
PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT. Provided that no Event of Default (as defined in Section 19) exists, and no event has occurred and is continuing that with notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of
Default, Lessor shall be obligated to purchase the Equipment from Seller and to lease the Equipment to Lessee if (and only if) Lessor receives on or before the Latest Commencement Date (as specified in the applicable Schedule) the related Commencement
Certificate and Schedule (both executed by Lessee), and such other documents or assurances as Lessor may reasonably request.
|
5.
|
TERM. The initial term of each Schedule (Initial Term) shall begin on the date specified as the Commencement Date on the Commencement Certificate with respect to such Schedule and shall continue for the period
specified in such Schedule. Any renewal term of a Schedule (Renewal Term) shall begin on the expiration of, as applicable, the Initial Term or any preceding Renewal Term (collectively, Term).
|
6.
|
RENT; ADVANCE RENT; LATE CHARGES. Lessee shall pay Lessor the first Rental Payment (as specified in the applicable Schedule) for the Equipment on or before the Commencement Date of the applicable Schedule, and shall
pay Lessor the remaining periodic Rental Payments on or before the periodic payment dates specified in the applicable Schedule or, if periodic payment dates are not specified, on or before the corresponding day of each subsequent period during the Initial
Term of the applicable Schedule, regardless of
|
<PAGE>
|
|
whether Lessee has received notice that such Rental Payments are due. Additionally, if pursuant to this Agreement or the applicable Schedule the term is extended or a renewal option exercised, Lessee shall also pay all
Rental Payments required with respect thereto. All Rental Payments will be sent to Lessor's above-referenced address, or to such other address as specified by Lessor in writing. Lessee shall also pay Lessor Advance Rent (as specified in the applicable
Schedule) for the Equipment when it signs the applicable Schedule, and such Advance Rent shall be refunded without interest to Lessee only if Lessor declines to sign the applicable Schedule. Advance Rent shall be credited to Lessee's first Rental Payment
under the applicable Schedule, and any excess Advance Rent shall be credited to Lessee's final Rental Payment(s). Lessee agrees to pay Lessor a late charge of 5% of any Rental Payment (or other amount due hereunder) that is not paid within 10 days of its
due date, plus interest at the rate of 1-1/2% per month on any such amounts (or such lesser rate as is the maximum rate allowable under applicable law). Also, in the event that more than one Schedule is entered into hereunder, the parties will use their
best efforts to implement a common billing date for all Schedules.
|
7.
|
ADJUSTMENTS. The Total Purchase Price (as specified in the applicable Schedule) and Rental Payment set forth in each Schedule are estimates, and if the final invoice from Seller specifies a Total Purchase Price
(including taxes, delivery, installation and other charges) that is greater or less than such estimated Total Purchase Price, Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to adjust the Total Purchase Price and Rental Payment on the applicable Schedule to reflect the
final invoice amount (Final Invoice Amount). If Option B in the Schedule has been selected, Lessee also authorizes Lessor to adjust such purchase and renewal options to reflect the Final Invoice Amount. However, if the Final Invoice Amount exceeds
the estimated Total Purchase Price by more than 10%, Lessor will notify Lessee and obtain Lessee's prior written approval of the aforementioned adjustments; provided, however that such written approval shall not be required when such adjustments are
caused by Equipment changes or system reconfigurations requested or caused by Lessee. Additionally, if Lessor financed any down payment for the Equipment pursuant to an interim financing agreement (Financing Agreement) with Lessee, Lessor may also adjust
the Total Purchase Price and Rental Payment with respect to such Equipment to reflect any accrued interest that Lessee elects to finance. All references in this Agreement and in any Schedule to Total Purchase Price and Rental Payment shall mean the
estimates thereof specified in the applicable Schedule, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 7.
|
8.
|
INSURANCE. At its own expense, Lessee shall provide and maintain the following insurance: (a) insurance against the loss or theft of or damage to the Equipment for the greater of the Stipulated Loss Value
(computed as described in the applicable Schedule) or full replacement value thereof, naming Lessor as a loss payee; and (b) public liability and third party property damage insurance, naming Lessor as an additional insured. Such insurance shall be
in a form, amount and with companies reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, shall contain the insurer's agreement to give Lessor 30 days' prior written notice before cancellation or material change thereof, and shall be payable to Lessor regardless of any
act, omission or breach by Lessee. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor the insurance policies or copies thereof or certificates of such insurance on or before the Commencement Date of the applicable Schedule, and at such other times as Lessor may reasonably
request. If no Event of Default exists, and no event has occurred and is continuing that with notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, the proceeds of any insurance required under clause (a) hereof that have been paid to
Lessor shall be applied against Lessee's obligation to Lessor under Section 13 of this Agreement.
|
9.
|
TAXES. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for (or pay directly, but only if instructed by Lessor) all taxes, fees, and assessments that may be imposed by any taxing authority on the Equipment, on its purchase, ownership,
delivery, possession, operation, rental, return to Lessor or its purchase by Lessee (collectively, Taxes); provided, however, that Lessee shall not be liable for any such Taxes (whether imposed by the United States of America or by any other domestic or
foreign taxing authority) imposed or measured by Lessor's net income or tax preference items. Lessee's obligation includes, but is not limited to, the obligation to pay all license and registration fees and all sales, use, personal property and other
taxes and governmental charges, together with any penalties, fines and interest thereon, that may be imposed during the Term of the applicable Schedule. Lessee is liable for these Taxes whether they are imposed upon Lessor, Lessee, the Equipment, this
Agreement, the applicable Schedule or any Financing Agreement. If Lessee is required by law or administrative practice to make any refund or return with respect to such Taxes, Lessee shall promptly advise Lessor thereof in writing and shall cooperate
with Lessor to ensure that such reports are properly filed and accurately reflect Lessor's interest in the Equipment. Lessor has no obligation to contest any such Taxes, however Lessee may do so provided that: (a) Lessee does so in its own name and
at its own expense; (b) the contest does not and will not result in any lien attaching to any Equipment or otherwise jeopardize Lessor's right to any Equipment; and
|

|
|
(c) Lessee indemnifies Lessor for all expenses (including legal fees and costs), liabilities and losses that Lessor incurs as a result of any such contest.
|

and maintenance standards; (b) use the Equipment lawfully and exclusively in connection with its business operations and for the purpose for which the Equipment was designed and intended; and (c) without Lessor's prior written consent, not move

or legally necessary; and (d) make no other alterations or additions to the Equipment (except for alterations or additions that will not impair the value or performance of the Equipment and that are readily removable without damage to the Equipment).
Any modifications, alterations or additions to the Equipment (except as permitted by Section 11(d) above) shall become Lessor's property and shall also be deemed to be Equipment. Upon request, Lessor, or any party designated by Lessor, shall have the
right to inspect the Equipment and Lessee's applicable maintenance agreement and records at any reasonable time.
|
12.
|
PERSONAL PROPERTY; LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES; TITLE. The Equipment shall at all times remain personal property, notwithstanding that the Equipment, or any part thereof, may be (or becomes) affixed or attached to real
property or any improvements thereon. Except for the interest of Lessor, Lessee shall keep the Equipment free and clear of all levies, liens and encumbrances of any nature whatsoever. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Equipment shall
at all times remain the property of Lessor and Lessee shall have no right, title or interest therein.
|
13.
|
RISK OF LOSS. As between Lessor and Lessee, Lessee shall bear the entire risk of loss, theft, destruction or damage to the Equipment from any cause whatsoever or requisition of the Equipment by any governmental
entity or the taking of title to the Equipment by eminent domain or otherwise (collectively, Loss). Lessee shall advise Lessor in writing within 10 days of any such Loss. Except as provided below, no such Loss shall relieve Lessee of the obligation to
pay Lessor Rental Payments and all other amounts owed hereunder. In the event of any such Loss, Lessor, at its option, may: (a) if the Loss has not materially impaired the Equipment (in Lessor's reasonable judgment), require Lessee, upon Lessor's
demand, to place the Equipment in good condition and repair reasonably satisfactory to Lessor; or (b) if the Loss has materially impaired the Equipment (in Lessor's reasonable judgment), require Lessee, upon Lessor's demand, to pay Lessor its
anticipated return (Lessor's Return), which shall consist of the following amounts: (i) the Rental Payments (and other amounts) then due and owing under the applicable Schedule; plus (ii) the Stipulated Loss Value (computed as described in the
applicable Schedule) of the Equipment; plus (iii) all other amounts that become due and owing under the applicable Schedule, but only to the extent such amounts are not included in the moneys paid to Lessor pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above.
Upon Lessor's full receipt of such Lessor's Return: (y) the applicable Schedule shall terminate, and except as provided in Section 30, Lessee shall be relieved of all obligations under the applicable Schedule; and (z) Lessor shall transfer all
of its interest in the Equipment to Lessee "AS IS, WHERE IS," and without any warranty, express or implied from lessor, other than the absence of any liens or claims by, through, or under Lessor.

ENTITLED TO XXXXX OR REDUCE RENTAL PAYMENTS OR ANY OTHER AMOUNTS DUE, OR TO SET OFF ANY CHARGES AGAINST THOSE AMOUNTS. LESSEE IS NOT ENTITLED TO RECOUPMENTS, CROSS CLAIMS, COUNTERCLAIMS OR ANY OTHER DEFENSES TO ANY RENTAL PAYMENTS OR OTHER AMOUNTS DUE

The terms and conditions set forth below shall apply to Options A
and B on the front of this Schedule; provided, however, that
Lessee may select only one of the two aforementioned options.
Capitalized terms used in this Schedule that are not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Master Equipment Lease Agreement (Agreement) identified by the
Lease Number specified on the front of this Schedule. With
respect to the Equipment described on front of this Schedule, the
terms and conditions of this Schedule shall prevail over any
conflicting or inconsistent terms and conditions in the Agreement
and/or any amendments thereto entered into prior to the execution
of this Schedule.
1. OPTION A - FAIR MARKET VALUE PURCHASE AND RENEWAL
OPTIONS. (a) if Option A has been selected, no Event of Default
exists, no event has occurred and is continuing that with notice
or the lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of
Default, and Lessee delivers to Lessor an irrevocable written
election notice at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the
Applicable Term, Lessee shall have the following purchase and
renewal options: (i) Lessee may purchase all of the Equipment at
the end of the Applicable Term at Fair Market Value (as defined
below); or (ii) Lessee may renew this Schedule for a Renewal Term
of not less than 12 months to be agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee
at Fair Rental Value (as defined below); provided, however, that
the foregoing renewal option may not be exercised if Lessor
reasonably determines that there has been a material adverse
change in Lessee's business or financial condition since the
Commencement Date; and provided further, however, that if Lessee
decides not to purchase the Equipment or renew this Schedule at
the end of the Applicable Term, it shall provide Lessor with
irrevocable written notice thereof at least 90 days prior to the
expiration of the Applicable Term and return the Equipment to
Lessor in accordance with Section 18 of the Agreement.
(b) If Lessee elects to purchase the Equipment, it shall pay
Lessor the Fair Market Value amount prior to the expiration of
the Applicable Term, and Lessee shall make all other payments
required hereunder during the remaining Term of this Schedule.
If Lessee elects to renew this Schedule, Lessee and Lessor shall
enter into a supplement to this Schedule to confirm the
applicable Fair Rental Value amount and the length of the
applicable Renewal Term. Throughout the Renewal Term, Lessee
shall pay Lessor the Fair Rental Value on the same date each
period that the Rental Payment was due during the Initial Term.
(c) Should Lessee fail to: (i) provide Lessor with the 90 day
notice required above; or (ii) pay Lessor the Fair Market Value
amount as specified above; or (iii) return the Equipment to
Lessor in accordance with Section 18 of the Agreement, the
Applicable Term shall be extended for successive 90 day periods
until Lessee returns the Equipment to Lessor in accordance with
Section 18 of the Agreement or Lessor terminates this Schedule by
10 days written notice to Lessee. In the event this Schedule is
extended pursuant to the preceding sentence, Lessee shall
continue to pay Lessor the periodic Rental Payments in effect
prior to the expiration of the Applicable Term, and all other
provisions of the Agreement and this Schedule (including Lessee's
purchase and renewal options) shall continue to apply.
(d) Fair Rental Value and Fair Market Value for the Equipment
shall be determined by agreement of Lessor and Lessee, or, if
Lessor and Lessee are unable to reach agreement, by the average
of three quotes of retail prices, one obtained by Lessor, one by
Lessee and one by mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee. Fair
Rental Value means the periodic amount that would be payable for
the Equipment, or similar equipment, in an arm's length
transaction between an informed and willing Lessee and an
informed and willing Lessor, neither under compulsion to lease.
Fair Market Value means the total price that would be paid for
the Equipment, or similar equipment, in an arm's length
transaction between an informed and willing buyer (other than a
used equipment dealer) under no compulsion to buy and an informed
and willing seller under no compulsion to sell. In determining
Fair Rental Value or Fair Market Value, the costs of removing the
Equipment from the Equipment Location and moving it to a new
location shall not be deducted from its value.
(e) If Lessee elects to purchase the Equipment and has
completely fulfilled the terms and conditions of the Agreement
and this Section 1, then on the last day of the Applicable Term:
(i) this Schedule shall terminate and, except as provided in
Section 30 of the Agreement, Lessee shall be relieved of all
obligations under this Schedule; and (ii) Lessor shall transfer
all of its interest in the Equipment to Lessee "AS IS, WHERE IS,"
and without any warranty, express or implied from Lessor, other
than the absence of any liens or claims by, through, or under
Lessor.
2. OPTION B - FIXED PRICE PURCHASE AND RENEWAL OPTIONS.
(a) If Option B has been selected, no Event of Default exists, no
event has occurred and is continuing that with notice or the
lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, and
Lessee delivers to Lessor an irrevocable written election notice
at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the Applicable Term,
lessee shall have the following fixed price purchase and renewal
options: (i) Lessee may purchase all of the Equipment at the end
of the Applicable Term for the amount specified on the front page
of this Schedule (as adjusted pursuant to Section 7 of the
Agreement) (Sale Price); or (ii) Lessee may renew this Schedule
for a Renewal Term of not less than 12 months at the periodic
Rental Payment amount specified on the front of this Schedule (as
adjusted pursuant to Section 7 of the Agreement) (Renewal Rental
Payment); provided, however, that the foregoing renewal option
may not be exercised if Lessor reasonably determines that there
has been a material adverse change in Lessee's business or
financial condition since the Commencement Date; and provided
further, however, that if Lessee decides not to purchase the
Equipment or renew this Schedule at the end of the Applicable
Term, it shall provide Lessor with irrevocable written notice
thereof at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the
Applicable Term and return the Equipment to Lessor in accordance
with Section 18 of the Agreement.
(b) If Lessee elects to purchase the Equipment, it shall pay
Lessor the Sale Price prior to the expiration of the Applicable
Term, and Lessee shall make all other payments required hereunder
during the remaining Term of this Schedule. If Lessee elects to
renew this Schedule, Lessee and Lessor shall enter into a
supplement to this Schedule to confirm the length of the
applicable Renewal Term. Throughout the Renewal Term, Lessee
shall pay Lessor the
NCR Credit Corporation NCR Credit Corporation
A Subsidiary of AT&T Capital Corporation Commencement Certificate
F-8854 0992
<PAGE>
Renewal Rental Payment on the same date each period that the
Rental Payment was due during the Initial Term.
(c) Should Lessee fail to: (i) provide Lessor with the 90 day
notice required above; or (ii) pay Lessor, as applicable, the
Sale Price as specified above; or (iii) return the Equipment to
Lessor in accordance with Section 18 of the Agreement, the
Applicable Term shall be extended for successive 90 day periods
until Lessee returns the Equipment to Lessor in accordance with
Section 18 of the Agreement, or Lessor terminates this Schedule
by 10 days written notice to Lessee. In the event this Schedule
is extended pursuant to the preceding sentence, Lessee shall
continue to pay Lessor the periodic Rental Payments in effect
prior to the expiration of the Applicable Term, and all other
provisions of the Agreement and this Schedule (including Lessee's
purchase and renewal options) shall continue to apply.
(d) If Lessee elects to purchase the Equipment and has
completely fulfilled the terms and conditions f the Agreement and
this Section 2, then on the last day of the Applicable Term: (i)
this Schedule shall terminate and, except as provided in Section
30 of the Agreement, Lessee shall be relieved of all obligations
under this Schedule; and (ii) Lessor shall transfer all of its
interest in the Equipment to Lessee "AS IS, WHERE IS," and
without any warranty, express or implied from Lessor, other than
the absence of any liens or claims by, through, or under Lessor.
3. STIPULATED LOSS VALUE. For purposes of this Schedule,
the Stipulated Loss Value of he Equipment shall be determined by
multiplying the applicable Stipulated Loss Value Percentage as
specified in the SLV Table that incorporates this Schedule by
reference by listing the Lease Number and Schedule Number
specified on the front of this Schedule) as of the due date of
the last Rental Payment due immediately prior to the date of the
Loss (for purposes of this Section 3) or the Event of Default
(for purposes of Section 20) by the Total Purchase Price (as
adjusted pursuant to Section 7 of the Agreement).
4. TAX INDEMNITY. (a) Lessor intends to take accelerated
cost recovery deductions (Recovery Deductions) under sections
167(a) and 168(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1982, as
amended (Code), and accelerated depreciation deductions under
applicable state law (Depreciation Deductions). Accordingly,
Lessee makes the following representations, warranties and
covenants: (i) at the time Lessee accepts the Equipment pursuant
to Section 3 of the Agreement, the Equipment will have been
"placed in service" within the meaning of sections 167 and 168 of
the Code; (ii) the Total Purchase Price (as adjusted pursuant to
Section 7 of the Agreement) shall qualify for Recovery Deductions
and Depreciation Deductions (with the exception of any items that
are not excluded by specific language on the front of this
Schedule and any increase in the Total Purchase Price that is
attributable to any accrued interest under a Financing
Agreement); (iii) neither Lessee, any of its affiliates, nor any
of its successors, sublessees or assigns was, is, or will become
a tax-exempt entity described in section 168(h)(2) of the Code at
any time during the Term of this Schedule or the five years
preceding the Commencement Date; and (iv) at no time during the
Term of this Schedule will Lessee (or any of its successors,
sublessees or assigns) take any action or fail to take any action
(whether or not such act or omission is otherwise required by the
Agreement) that results in a loss, reduction, deferral, recapture
or other unavailability to Lessor of any part of the Recovery
Deductions or Depreciation Deductions. If, because of a breach
of this Section 4(a), Recovery Deductions or Depreciation
Deductions are lost, reduced, deferred, recaptured or otherwise
made unavailable to Lessor (a Tax Loss), Lessee shall, upon
demand by Lessor, promptly pay damages to Lessor. The amount of
such damages shall be the amount necessary to provide Lessor with
a Net Economic Return (as defined in Section 4(c) below) equal to
the Net Economic Return that lessor would have realized if it had
not suffered a Tax Loss. A Loss or damage to the Equipment will
constitute a breach of this Section 4(a) if it does not result in
the payment of the Lessor's Return described in Section 13 of the
Agreement.
(b) The amount of each periodic Rental Payment remaining to
be paid during the Applicable Term (as adjusted pursuant to
Section 7 of the Agreement, or as previously adjusted pursuant to
this Section 4(b)) shall be adjusted, upwards or downwards, in
the event that changes are made to the Code (including changes in
the corporate income tax rates) or any regulations promulgated
thereunder that affect the federal income tax consequences to
Lessor that were contemplated by Lessor when it determined the
amount of the periodic
Rental Payment then in effect (Tax Law Change). The net effect
of any adjustment under this Section 4(b) shall be to provide
Lessor a Net Economic Return equal to the net Economic Return
that Lessor would have realized if no Tax Law Change had
occurred.
(c) Any damages required by Section 4(a) above and any
adjustment required by Section 4(b) above shall be in the amount
necessary to provide Lessor a net after-tax yield, net after-tax
cash flow and net after-tax book earnings (Net Economic Return)
equal to the Net Economic Return Lessor would have realized with
respect to the transaction contemplated by this Schedule if a Tax
Loss or a Tax Law Change (as applicable) had not occurred,
assuming Lessee would fulfill all of its obligations hereunder,
and shall be based upon the same assumptions and pricing analysis
used by Lessor in determining the amount of the periodic Rental
Payment then in effect, except to the extent such assumptions are
affected by the Tax Loss or Tax Law Change (as applicable) at
issue. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it
shall be irrebuttably presumed that all income of Lessor for any
year is subject to tax at the highest then applicable federal
income tax rate generally applicable to corporations, and that
Lessor has sufficient taxable income to offset all deductions
arising hereunder.
(d) With respect to any damages or adjustments calculated
by Lessor as set forth above (Calculation Amount), at the request
and expense of Lessee, Lessor shall submit the assumptions and
calculations underlying any such Calculation Amount to Lessor's
independent certified public accountants for verification of the
maintenance of Lessor's Net Economic Return. Such accountants'
determination that the Calculation Amount does or does not
maintain Lessor's Net Economic Return (and, in the case of the
latter, such accountants' determination of the adjusted amount
that would so maintain such Net Economic Return) shall be binding
upon Lessor and Lessee. Lessee agrees that any information
provided to such accountants by Lessor constitutes private,
NCR Credit Corporation NCR Credit Corporation
A Subsidiary of AT&T Capital Corporation Commencement Certificate
F-8854 0992
<PAGE>
proprietary and confidential property of Lessor, and that no
person other than Lessor and such accountants shall be entitled
access thereto.
5. SECURITY INTEREST. Lessor and Lessee intend the
transaction described in this Schedule to be a true lease, and
Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to file a financing statement to
give public notice of Lessor's ownership of the Equipment. If
such transaction is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be a lease intended for security, then to secure payment and
performance of Lessee's obligations under the Agreement and this
Schedule Lessee grants Lessor and its assigns a purchase money
security interest in the Equipment and in all attachments,
accessories, additions, substitutions, products, replacements,
rentals and proceeds (including insurance proceeds) therefrom as
well as security interest in any other equipment financed
pursuant to the Agreement or any other agreement between Lessor
and Lessee (collectively, Collateral). Lessee shall execute and
timely deliver to Lessor financing statements or any other
documents Lessor deems necessary to perfect or protect Lessor's
security interest in the Collateral. Lessor or Lessor's agent
may file as a financing statement any lease document (or copy
thereof, where permitted by law) Lessor deems necessary to
perfect or protect Lessor's security interest in the Collateral.
If Lessee fails to execute any such document, Lessor or Lessor's
agent is hereby authorized to file any of the foregoing signed
only by Lessor or Lessor's agent.
