MASTER EQUIPMENT LEASE AGREEMENT
--------------------------------
MASTER EQUIPMENT LEASE AGREEMENT dated as of December 12, 1996,
between CINEMA RIDE, INC. (hereinafter called "Lessee"), a Delaware corporation
that has its executive office and principal place of business at 00000 Xxxxxxx
Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 and FINOVA TECHNOLOGY FINANCE,
INC. (hereinafter called "Lessor"), a Delaware corporation with its principal
place of business at 00 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000.
In consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, Lessee
and Lessor agree as follows:
1. Agreement for Lease of Equipment. Lessor shall lease to Lessee
and Lessee shall lease from Lessor, upon the terms and conditions specified in
this Master Lease and the applicable Rental Schedule, the Equipment as described
in the applicable Rental Schedule including Schedule A of such Rental Schedule
and this Master Lease. Each Rental Schedule shall incorporate the terms of this
Master Lease and shall constitute a separate lease (the term "this Lease" shall
refer collectively to the applicable Rental Schedule and this Master Lease).
Only the signed copy of each Rental Schedule and not this Master Lease shall
constitute chattel paper the possession of which can perfect a security
interest. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Master Lease
and the provisions of any Rental Schedule, the provisions of the Rental Schedule
shall prevail.
2. Delivery, and Acceptance of Equipment.
(a) Lessor and Lessee agree that the vendor of the Equipment
to Lessor or, as to any Equipment to be sold by Lessee to Lessor and leased
back, the vendor of the Equipment to Lessee (in either case, the "Vendor") will
be responsible to deliver the Equipment to Lessee at the location specified in
the applicable Rental Schedule. Such delivery shall be delivery of the Equipment
by Lessor to Lessee under this Lease unless such Equipment is to be sold by
Lessee to Lessor and leased back. Provided that no Event of Default has
occurred, no event which with the passage of time or giving of notice would be
an Event of Default has occurred, and is continuing, and the conditions set
forth in the next following paragraph have been met and the Equipment is not to
be sold by Lessee to Lessor and leased back, Lessor hereby authorizes Lessee,
acting as Lessor's agent, to accept for Lessor, and in Lessor's name, the
Equipment from the Vendor upon delivery pursuant to the purchase contract for
the Equipment. Such acceptance shall be acceptance of the Equipment by Lessee
under this Lease. Nevertheless, if within five business days after Lessee has
received delivery of an item of the Equipment, Lessee has not given Lessor
written notice of a defect therein and Lessor has not notified Lessee not to
accept the Equipment, Lessee shall be deemed to have (a) acknowledged receipt of
such item of the Equipment in good condition and repair and (b) accepted such
item of the Equipment under this Lease. Lessee agrees to confirm any acceptance
of the Equipment by Lessee by executing a Certificate of Inspection and
Acceptance and providing the same to Lessor in accordance with the notice
provision hereof on or about the Lease Commencement Date, but no later than the
date for payment to the Vendor.
(b) Conditions precedent to every progress payment and Lease
Term Commencement shall include that (i) no payment shall be past due to Lessor
or any assign of Lessor from Lessee or any Guarantor (as hereinafter defined),
whether as a lessee, a guarantor or in some other capacity; (ii) Lessee shall be
in compliance with the provisions of this Lease; (iii) all documentation then
required by Lessor's Counsel
1
shall have been received by Lessor; (iv) Lessee shall not be in default under
any material contract to which Lessee is a party or by which Lessee or the
property of Lessee is bound; and (v) there shall not have been any material
adverse change or threatened material adverse change in the financial or other
condition, business, operations, properties, assets or prospects of Lessee, any
Guarantor or any Manufacturer (as hereinafter defined) since September 30, 1996,
or from the written information that has been supplied to Lessor prior to
November 8, 1996 by Lessee, any Guarantor or any Manufacturer.
(c) As additional security for its obligations under the
Lease, the Lessee shall have assigned to the Lessor the rights to use with the
Equipment, the existing and future films associated with the rides. Such rights
shall be assignable to third party buyers and Lessee of the Equipment in the
event of repossession of the Equipment by the Lessor.
(d) The Lessee shall have raised a minimum of $500,000 in
new equity, subordinated debt or debt conversion to equity, acceptable to the
Lessor.
3. Disclaimer of Warranties. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS
SELECTED BOTH THE EQUIPMENT AND EVERY MANUFACTURER AND OTHER VENDOR OF THE
EQUIPMENT, THAT LESSEE HAS NOT RELIED UPON LESSOR FOR SUCH SELECTION AND THAT
LESSEE HAS A COPY OF THE PURCHASE CONTRACT(S) FOR LESSOR'S PURCHASE OF THE
EQUIPMENT. LESSOR HAS NOT MADE AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY
------------------- ---
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
FITNESS FOR USE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR TITLE OF THE EQUIPMENT (OR
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANY PART THEREOF) OR AS TO COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, COMPLIANCE WITH
-----------------
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, QUALITY, SELECTION, INSTALLATION, SUITABILITY,
PERFORMANCE, CONDITION, DESIGN, ABSENCE OF DEFECTS, OPERATION, OR NON-
INFRINGEMENT OF PATENT, COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHTS OF THE EQUIPMENT (OR ANY PART THEREOF). LESSEE, SHALL LEASE THE
-----------------------
EQUIPMENT "AS IS, WHERE IS". LESSOR HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL SUCH
---------------------------
WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. LESSEE AND LESSOR AGREE THAT
ALL RISKS INCIDENT TO THE MATTERS REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION ARE TO BE BORNE BY
LESSEE. Lessor has and shall have no responsibility for the installation,
adjustment or servicing of the Equipment. The provisions of this Section have
been negotiated and are intended to be a complete exclusion and negation of any
representations or warranties by Lessor, express or implied, with respect to the
Equipment that may arise pursuant to any law now or hereafter in effect, or
otherwise. In no event shall defect in, or unfitness of, any or all of the
Equipment, or any breach of warranty or representation by any or every
Manufacturer or other Vendor relieve Lessee of the obligation to pay rent or to
make any other payments required hereunder or to perform any other obligation
hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessor shall not be
responsible or liable for any (i) defect, either latent or patent, in any of the
Equipment or for any direct or consequential damages therefrom, (ii) loss of use
of any of the Equipment or for any loss of profits or any interruption in
Lessee's business occasioned by Lessee's inability to use any or all of the
Equipment for any reason whatsoever, or (iii) in the event that any Vendor
delays or fails to make delivery of any or all of the Equipment or fails to
fulfill or comply with any purchase contract or order. For as long as no Event
of Default shall have occurred hereunder, Lessor hereby transfers and assigns to
Lessee during the Lease Term (as hereinafter defined) all right and interest of
Lessor in any Manufacturer's and other Vendor's warranties with respect to any
and all of the Equipment, and agrees to execute all documents reasonably
necessary to effect such transfer and assignment, except that to the extent any
rights of Lessor with respect to the Equipment may not be assigned or otherwise
be available to
2
Lessee, Lessor shall instead use reasonable efforts to enforce such rights
against such Manufacturers or other Vendors but only upon the request and at the
expense of Lessee.
4. Primary Term. The Primary Term for each item of the Equipment
shall commence on the Lease Commencement Date provided for by the Rental
Schedule for such Equipment, and unless sooner terminated pursuant to the
provisions of this Lease, shall be for the number of calendar months set forth
in such Rental Schedule, plus the number of days remaining in any partial
calendar month if the Lease Commencement Date occurs on other than the first day
of a month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Master Lease
on indemnification of Lessor by Lessee shall apply between Lessor and Lessee
with respect to any Equipment from the time that any order for the Equipment is
placed by Lessor.
5. Rent.
(a) Lessee shall pay to Lessor in cash or by check as rent
for the Equipment during the Lease Term, the amounts provided for in the Rental
Schedule ("Basic Rent") for such Equipment on the dates designated therein
("Payment Dates"), at the location of Lessor set forth therein, or at such other
address or to such other person or entity as Lessor, from time to time, may
designate.
(b) Lessee shall also pay to Lessor, upon notice by Lessor
to Lessee that payment is due, any sums other than for Basic Rent that Lessee at
any time shall be required to pay Lessor pursuant to the provisions of this
Lease, including but not limited to sums payable by reason of payments by Lessor
to any Vendors in advance of the delivery of such Equipment or the commencement
of the Lease Term for such Equipment, together with every additional charge,
interest and cost which may be added for non-payment or late payment of any such
sums or of Basic Rent. All such sums shall be additional rent ("Additional
Rent") and Lessor shall provide Lessee with notification as to the amount of any
Additional Rent. If Lessee shall fail to pay any Additional Rent, Lessor shall
have all rights, powers and remedies with respect thereto as are provided herein
or by law in the case of non-payment of Basic Rent.
(c) With respect to any amount of Basic Rent or Additional
Rent not received by Lessor within three days from when due hereunder, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor interest on such amount from the due date thereof until
payment is received by Lessor at two percent per month or the highest rate of
interest on amounts past due that is not unlawful, whichever is lower (the
"Default Interest Rate"). Additionally, with respect to each such instance of
late payment, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, within three days of notification that
such payment is due, a collection fee of $500, which fee approximates Lessor's
administrative costs, at minimum, to collect such unpaid Basic Rent or
Additional Rent.
(d) LESSEE AGREES THAT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE TO LESSOR IN
LESSEE'S MAKING PAYMENTS OF BASIC RENT AND ADDITIONAL RENT WHEN SUCH PAYMENTS
BECOME DUE.
(e) This Lease is a net-net-net lease and, notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Lease, it is intended that Basic Rent and
Additional Rent shall be paid without notice, demand, counterclaim, setoff,
deduction or defense and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or
reduction. Lessee shall perform all its obligations under this Lease at its sole
cost and expense. Except to the extent otherwise expressly specified herein, the
3
obligations and liabilities of Lessee hereunder shall in no way be released,
discharged or otherwise affected for any reason, including, without limitation:
(i) any defect in the condition, quality or fitness for use of the Equipment or
any part thereof; (ii) any damage to, removal, abandonment, salvage, loss,
scrapping or destruction of or any requisition or taking of the Equipment or any
part thereof; (iii) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or
interference with any use of the Equipment or any part thereof; (iv) any defect
in title or rights to the Equipment or any lien on such title or rights or on
the Equipment; (v) any change, waiver, extension, indulgence or other action or
omission in respect of any obligation or liability of Lessor; (vi) any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution,
liquidation or other like proceedings relating to Lessee or any action taken
with respect to this Lease by any trustee or receiver of Lessee or by any court,
in any such proceeding; (vii) any claim that Lessee has or might have against
any Person (as hereinafter defined), including without limitation Lessor; (viii)
any failure on the part of Lessor to perform or comply with any of the terms
hereof or of any other agreement; (ix) any invalidity, unenforceability or
disaffirmance of this Lease or any provision hereof against or by Lessee; or (x)
any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing,
whether or not Lessee or Lessor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the
foregoing. To the extent permitted by law, Lessee waives all rights now or
hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to quit, terminate, cancel, rescind
or surrender this Lease, or to any diminution or reduction of Basic Rent or
Additional Rent payable by Lessee hereunder.

any other right or property of Lessee or will in any manner adversely affect

7. Identification Marks. To the extent requested by Lessor or if
required by applicable law, Lessee shall affix to the Equipment at Lessee's
expense signs, labels, or other forms of notice to disclose Lessor's ownership
of, and the interest of any Assignee in, the Equipment. Lessee shall keep and
maintain such signs, labels or other forms of notice affixed to the Equipment
throughout the Lease Term.
5
Lessor may furnish such signs, labels or other forms of notice to Lessee. Except
as otherwise directed by Lessor, Lessee shall not allow the name of any person
other than Lessor to be placed on any part of the Equipment as a designation
that might reasonably be interpreted as a claim of ownership.
8. Fees and Taxes. Lessee agrees to pay promptly when due, and to
indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from, all license, title, registration and
recording fees whatsoever, all taxes including, without limitation, sales, use,
franchise, personal property, excise, import, export and stamp taxes and customs
duties, and all charges together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon
which are assessed, levied or imposed by any governmental or taxing authority
against Lessor with respect to any or all of the Equipment or the purchase,
acquisition, ownership, construction, installation, shipment, delivery, lease,
possession, use, maintenance, condition, operation, control, return or other
disposition thereof or the rents, receipts or earnings arising therefrom which
accrue or are payable with respect to the Equipment or this Lease or which are
assessed, are based on a valuation date, or are due during or with respect to
the Lease Term or any subsequent period until the Equipment has been returned to
Lessor pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or until the Equipment has been
purchased by Lessee pursuant to any purchase option provisions of this Lease,
excluding, however, any taxes solely measured by Lessor's net income from the
general operation of Lessor's business. In the event any fees, taxes or charges
payable by Lessee pursuant to the next preceding sentence are paid by Lessor, or
if Lessor is required to collect or pay any thereof, Lessee shall reimburse
Lessor therefor (plus any penalties, fines or interest thereon) promptly upon
demand. Unless and until Lessor notifies Lessee in writing to the contrary,
Lessee shall file and pay any personal property taxes levied or assessed on the
Equipment directly to the levying authority. Upon Lessor's written request,
Lessee shall submit to Lessor satisfactory evidence of payment by Lessee of any
or all amounts for which Lessee is required to make payment or to indemnify
Lessor hereunder that are paid by Lessee, and of the filing of any and all
reports, returns and other documentation required in connection with any such
payment. However, Lessor may, if it elects, estimate such personal property
taxes and xxxx Lessee therefor periodically in advance. In the event Lessor
elects to pay the personal property taxes directly to a levying authority,
Lessor shall submit to Lessee a copy of its personal property tax return and its
receipt for the full amount of such personal property taxes so paid by Lessor.
All of the obligations of Lessee under this Section shall continue in full force
and effect notwithstanding any expiration, termination, rescission or
cancellation of this Lease. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor may not be exempt
from the payment of any of the amounts referred to herein, even though Lessee
might have been exempt therefrom if it were the owner or purchaser of the
Equipment, and Lessee agrees that this Section shall apply, and the amounts due
from it hereunder shall be due, whether or not Lessee might itself have
otherwise been exempt from any such payments. Subject to the foregoing, Lessee
shall have the right to contest in good faith any such taxes levied or imposed
by any governmental or taxing authority, provided that Lessee shall have given
Lessor not less than ten days prior notice of its intention to contest and full
particulars of the proposed contest, in the opinion of Lessor the proposed
contest will not adversely affect the interests of Lessor or any Assignee, and
Lessee either shall have paid the taxes or provided for a bond or other security
so that none of the Equipment will be subject to seizure, confiscation or
forfeiture. For purposes of this Section, the term "Lessor" shall include each
member of Lessor's affiliated group, if any.
6
9. General Indemnity.
(a) Lessee shall indemnify Lessor and any Assignee (as
hereinafter defined), and their respective agents and servants, against, and
agrees to defend, protect, save and keep them harmless from, any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits,
costs, expenses and disbursements, including attorneys' fees and expenses and
costs for customs, completion, performance and appeal bonds, of whatsoever kind
and nature (including, without limitation, for negligence, tort liability,
damages by reason of strict or absolute liability, punitive damages, and
indirect and consequential damages, but excluding any such amounts imposed or
incurred as a result of Lessor's gross negligence or willful misconduct),
imposed on or incurred by or assessed against Lessor and/or any Assignee, in any
way relating to or arising out of (i) the failure of Lessee to provide or obtain
any certificates, documents, consents, authorizations, clearances, licenses,
permits or instruments required hereunder or under any of the other
Transactional Documents, or (ii) the ordering, construction, installation,
delivery, testing, ownership, lease, possession, use, maintenance, operation,
control, movement, import, export, shipment, condition, or return of the
Equipment (including but not limited to latent and other defects, whether or not
discoverable by Lessor or Lessee, and any claim for patent, trademark,
copyright, software or other intellectual property infringement) until such time
as the Equipment shall have been returned to Lessor pursuant to the provisions
of this Lease or until the Equipment shall have been purchased by Lessee
pursuant to any purchase option provisions of this Lease.
(b) The obligations of Lessee under this Section shall
survive the payment of all known obligations under and any expiration,
termination, rescission or cancellation of this Lease, and are expressly made
for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by Lessor, its successors and any
Assignee.
10. Use of Equipment; Location; Liens.
(a) During the Lease Term, Lessee warrants and agrees that
the Equipment shall be used and operated and otherwise be in compliance with any
established operating procedures therefor of any Manufacturer and all statutes,
regulations and orders of any governmental body having power to regulate the
Equipment or its use. Lessee shall bear and pay all costs of such compliance.
Lessee shall not permit the Equipment to be used or maintained in any manner or
condition that would violate, or could result in the termination of, the
insurance policies carried by Lessee pursuant to the provisions of this Lease on
insurance, or in any manner or condition or for any purpose for which, in the
opinion of any Manufacturer, the Equipment is not designed or suited.
(b) Lessee agrees that without Lessor's prior written
consent, it will not remove any of the Equipment from the location specified in
the Rental Schedule for such Equipment or permit any of the Equipment to be used
by anyone other than Lessee, Lessee's employees or a responsible independent
contractor engaged by Lessee.
(c) During the Lease Term and until the Equipment has been
returned to Lessor pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or until the
Equipment is purchased by Lessee pursuant to any purchase option provisions of
this Lease, Lessee will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any mortgage, security interest, lien or encumbrance on the
Equipment or Lessor's or any Assignee's title thereto or interest therein,
except in the name of
7
Lessor and its successor(s) and any Assignee. Lessee, at its own expense, will
promptly take such action as may be necessary to keep the Equipment free and
clear of, and to duly discharge, any such mortgage, security interest, lien or
encumbrance not excepted above.
(d) Lessee agrees to procure and maintain in effect all
licenses, certificates, permits and other approvals and consents required by
federal, state and local laws and regulations in connection with Lessee's
possession, use, operation and maintenance of the Equipment. During the Lease
Term, Lessee agrees that 100 percent of the use of the Equipment shall be
"qualified business use" as that term is and shall be from time to time defined
by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(e) Lessee shall cooperate fully with Lessor or any Assignee
to perfect and record their respective interests in connection with the
Transactional Documents including, without limitation, the filing of financing
statements and will pay such Persons their reasonable costs related thereto.
Lessee authorizes Lessor to file financing statements that are signed only by
Lessor or that are signed for Lessee by Lessor in any jurisdiction when
permitted by law or local authority. Lessee hereby grants to Lessor power-of-
attorney to act as Lessee's attorney-in-fact to sign Lessee's name on financing
statements as "Debtor".
11. Maintenance and Repairs; Additions to Equipment.
(a) Lessee shall, for the entire Lease Term, at its sole
expense, maintain all of the Equipment in good, safe and efficient operating
repair, appearance and condition, will keep all components of the Equipment
properly calibrated and aligned, will make all required adjustments,
replacements and repairs and will obtain and install any upgrades for the
Equipment that are announced and available for sale by a Manufacturer
(collectively, "maintenance and repairs"). Such maintenance and repairs shall
include, but not be limited to, all recommended or advised by a Manufacturer,
all required or advised by cognizant governmental agencies or regulatory bodies
and all commonly performed by prudent business and/or professional practice. All
maintenance and repairs to any item of the Equipment shall be made by the
Manufacturer or, upon prior written approval by Lessor, those of substantially
equal skill or knowledge in maintaining and repairing the Equipment.
(b) Lessee shall not modify the Equipment without the prior
written consent of Lessor. Any replacements, substitutions, additions,
attachments, accessions, parts, fittings, accessories, modifications,
enhancements, maintenance and repairs and other upgrades to the Equipment
whenever made shall be considered accessions to the Equipment and shall
automatically become the property of Lessor.
(c) All instruction manuals, published statements of
capabilities and technical specifications, service, maintenance and repair
records, installation, qualification, certification and calibration reports,
usage logs, and printed material relating to the Equipment shall be deemed part
of the Equipment. Computer programs, programming codes, operating systems, data
processing instructions, series of instructions or statements which are machine
readable, and any like symbols or signals usable by an electronic data
processing system (collectively "Software") that has been or shall be installed
or entered in the Equipment shall become a part of the Equipment except for any
Software that is proprietary Software of Lessee and is not a modification,
change, enhancement or improvement to any Software which is identified or listed
in the description of specific items of the
8
Equipment in or attached to a Rental Schedule. Whenever Lessee acquires Software
licenses from other parties, with respect to the Software such licenses shall
automatically and without further action by Lessee be assigned to Lessor and
become through assignment a part of the Equipment transferable to any future
user of the Equipment for use with the Equipment.
12. Loss, Damage or Destruction of Equipment.
(a) Lessee shall bear all risks of damage to, taking of, or
theft, loss or destruction of, any or all of the Equipment commencing as of the
date of this Master Lease and continuing throughout the Lease Term and until
such Equipment has been returned to Lessor or purchased by Lessee pursuant to
any purchase option provisions of this Lease. Except as otherwise herein
expressly provided, no damage to, taking of or theft, loss or destruction of any
Equipment shall impair any obligation of Lessee to Lessor under this Lease,
including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Basic Rent.
(b) In the event that any item of Equipment shall become
damaged from any cause whatsoever, Lessee agrees to promptly notify Lessor in
writing of such fact, fully informing Lessor of the details thereof. If any item
of Equipment is damaged (unless the same, in the opinion of Lessor is
irreparably damaged, in which case the provisions of this Lease with respect to
a Casualty Occurrence shall apply), Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense,
place the same in good repair, condition and working order or replace the same
with "like property" having the same value and operating capabilities and useful
life at least equal to the damaged Equipment prior to the date of such damage,
which property shall thereupon become subject to this Lease with title thereto
in Lessor. In the event that an item of Equipment has been damaged, but not
irreparably, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder,
upon receipt by Lessor of evidence, satisfactory to Lessor, that such repair,
restoration or replacement has been completed, and an invoice therefor, Lessor
shall release to Lessee or its supplier the proceeds of any insurance received
by Lessor as a result of such damage for the purpose of reimbursing Lessee for
the costs of repairing, restoring or replacing such item.
(c) In the event that any item of Equipment shall become
lost, stolen, destroyed or irreparably damaged from any cause whatsoever, or if
any item of Equipment or Lessor's title thereto shall be requisitioned or seized
by any governmental authority (each such occurrence being herein called a
"Casualty Occurrence") during the Lease Term and until it has been returned to
Lessor pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or until the Equipment is
purchased by Lessee pursuant to any purchase option provisions of this Lease,
Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor in writing of such fact, fully informing
Lessor of all details of the Casualty Occurrence in question, and shall pay
Lessor in cash the greater of (i) the "Stipulated Loss Value" as set forth in
the Table of Stipulated Loss Values attached to the Rental Schedule pursuant to
which such item of Equipment is leased hereunder, calculated as of the date of
the Casualty Occurrence, or (ii) the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined)
of the item of Equipment in question as of the date of the Casualty Occurrence.
This payment shall be made within 30 days following the Casualty Occurrence,
together with the Basic Rent accrued and unpaid with respect to such Equipment
as of the date of the Casualty Occurrence, plus all Additional Rent or amounts
owing with respect to such Equipment on such date of payment.
(d) Upon the payment of the greater of the Stipulated Loss
Value or Fair Market Value of the Equipment in question in accordance with the
terms of this Section, and the payment of all
9
Basic Rent, Additional Rent and any other sums then due hereunder, this Lease
shall terminate with respect to the Equipment or part thereof suffering the
Casualty Occurrence and all Lessor's rights and title to such Equipment shall
pass to Lessee, "as is" and "where is", without any representation or warranty
by, or recourse to, Lessor, as provided by the provisions of this Master Lease
on disclaimer of warranties and as evidenced by a duly executed xxxx of sale
naming Lessor as the seller and Lessee as the buyer.
(e) Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and no
event that with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would be an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any insurance proceeds received
as the result of a Casualty Occurrence with respect to any or all items of the
Equipment shall be applied first in reduction of any other then unpaid
obligation of Lessee to Lessor hereunder and second in reduction of Lessee's
obligation to pay the greater of the Fair Market Value or the Stipulated Loss
Value for such item if not already paid by Lessee to Lessor, or, if already paid
by Lessee, to the reimbursement of Lessee therefor, and the balance of the
insurance proceeds, if any, shall be paid to Lessee.
13. Reports; Inspections. Lessee will cause to be furnished to
Lessor, if requested, from time-to-time a statement showing the condition and
such other information regarding the Equipment as Lessor may reasonably request.
Lessor and any Assignee shall have the right, upon reasonable notice to Lessee,
to inspect the Equipment including Lessee's records with respect to the
Equipment, to copy such records, and to inspect and copy Lessee's records with
respect to the financial statements Lessee is required to furnish Lessor or has
warranted to Lessor pursuant to this Lease. Any inspection by Lessor or any
Assignee shall not be deemed to be approval or acknowledgment by Lessor or such
Assignee of the safety, freedom from defects, performance or compliance with
specifications or governmental requirements of the Equipment or of the
conformity of the Equipment or such financial statements to the requirements or
warranties of this Lease, and the disclaimers set forth in the provisions of
this Master Lease on disclaimer of warranties shall apply to any such
inspection. Lessee shall pay or reimburse Lessor for Lessor's costs and travel
expenses for one such inspection per year, and for Lessor's costs, travel
expenses and salaries and the charges and such expenses of Lessor's advisers for
the inspection following an inspection which encountered a breach of the
requirements of this Lease or the warranties of Lessee pursuant to this Lease.
14. Insurance. During the Lease Term and until all Equipment has
been returned to Lessor pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or until the
Equipment is purchased by Lessee pursuant to any purchase option provisions of
this Lease, Lessee shall procure and maintain at its expense with reputable
insurers acceptable to Lessor (i) insurance on all of the Equipment in an amount
not less than the greater of the Equipment's Stipulated Loss Value or Fair
Market Value replacement cost insuring against all risks of loss or damage to
the Equipment and against such other risks as Lessee would, in the prudent
management of its properties, maintain with respect to similar equipment owned
by it, and (ii) comprehensive public liability and property damage insurance, in
such amounts as shall be satisfactory to Lessor but for not less than the
greater of $1,000,000 or the amounts customarily maintained by parties similar
to Lessee for similar leased equipment with similar contemplated use, insuring
Lessor and any Assignees, as their interests may appear, against liability for
death, bodily injury, professional malpractice, and property damage arising Out
of or resulting from the design, construction, manufacture, ownership, use,
operation, lease or maintenance of, or otherwise in connection with, the
10
Equipment. On the policies referred to in clause (i), such insurance shall name
Lessor (and any Assignees) as loss payee so that (and Lessor and Lessee hereby
agree that) the insurance proceeds payable under such policies will be payable
and paid to Lessor (and to any Assignees) to the extent of their interest. On
the policies referred to in clause (ii), such insurance will name Lessor (and
any Assignees) as an additional insured as its interests may appear. All such
policies shall provide that they may not be invalidated against Lessor (or any
Assignees) because of any violation of a condition or a breach of warranty of
the policies or application therefor by Lessee, that they may not be altered or
canceled except after 30 days' prior written notice to Lessor, and that Lessor
and any Assignee have the right but not the obligation to pay the premiums with
respect to coverage required by this Lease in order to continue such insurance
in effect or to obtain like coverage. Under the policies of insurance required
to be maintained by Lessee pursuant to this Master Lease, Lessee agrees to waive
any right of subrogation and to cause the insurance carrier to waive any right
of subrogation in each instance as such right may exist against Lessor or any
Assignee and for any and all loss or damage to the Equipment. Lessee shall
maintain and deliver evidence to Lessor of such insurance written by insurers
and in amounts satisfactory to Lessor. Should Lessee fail to provide such
insurance coverage, Lessor may obtain coverage protecting interests of Lessor
and Lessee, or the interest of Lessor only, for part or all of the Lease Term or
such period beyond the Lease Term as is required by this Lease or by the
insurance company issuing such coverage. The proceeds of such insurance shall be
applied, at the option of Lessee if no Event of Default shall exist, and
otherwise at Lessor's option, toward (i) replacement, restoration or repair of
the Equipment or (ii) payment of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease.
Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact to make claims for,
receive payment of, and execute and endorse all documents, checks or drafts for
loss or damage under any such policies.
15. Return of Equipment.
(a) At the end of the Lease Term for any Equipment, Lessee
at its sole expense shall forthwith return possession of such Equipment without
omissions to Lessor by:
(i) properly preparing, crating and/or assembling
such Equipment (in accordance with the Manufacturer's instructions if such
instructions exist) for shipment by common carrier with all containers and
pieces labeled with model, part and unit numbers and descriptions; and
(ii) shipping such Equipment by common carrier, with
insurance and freight prepaid, to a place designated by Lessor within a 1,000
mile radius of the specified location under this Lease for such Equipment.
Lessor shall pay additional shipping charges incurred because of distances in
excess of such 1,000 miles.
The insurance required by clause (ii) above shall provide that in the
event of loss such insurance shall pay Lessor in cash directly the greater of
(A) the full replacement value of such Equipment and (B) the "Stipulated Loss
Value" as set forth in the Exhibit to the Rental Schedule calculated as of the
Payment Date next preceding the date of loss. Lessee acknowledges that "full
replacement value" may exceed Fair Market Value.
(b) When the Equipment is returned to Lessor it shall be
complete. The condition of the Equipment including Software upon receipt by
Lessor shall be not less than (i) meeting all
11
specifications for such fully upgraded equipment as published most currently by
the respective Equipment vendor(s), Manufacturer(s) or supplier(s) (collectively
referred to, together with their successors and assigns, if any, as "Vendors"),
(ii) in fully operational condition, (iii) capable of being installed and
operated in the normal course by another user, (iv) for each item of the
Equipment for which the Vendor has a program of maintenance and service
including certification for reinstallation and for qualification under the
maintenance and service program certified in writing by the Vendor that the
items of the Equipment are in compliance with the conditions specified in this
paragraph, are accepted by the Vendor for reinstallation and are qualified for
the usual and customary service and maintenance program of the Vendor, (v)
legally qualified for future use or operation of the Equipment by another lessee
or purchaser of the Equipment, (vi) free of defects, visible or concealed,
including, but not limited to, damage or malfunction of any kind, dents,
fractures, chips, scratches, stains, defacements, discolorations, rust,
corrosion, electrical shorts, fluid restrictions or blockages, disconnections,
breakage or the like, (vii) safe for routine and usual operation, (viii) in
compliance with any and all pertinent governmental or regulatory rules, laws or
guidelines for its operation or use, (ix) free of Lessee's markings or
labelings, and (x) free of any advertising or insignia not requested by Lessor
that was placed on the Equipment by Lessee.
(c) Lessor reserves the right to inspect the Equipment
within 30 days of its return to verify compliance with the provisions of this
Master Lease on Equipment maintenance and repairs and additions and on return of
Equipment. Should there be less than full compliance, Lessor at its option may
(i) perform or cause to be performed through service organizations of its own
choosing such maintenance and repairs, including upgrades, replacements, the
obtaining of paid-up Software licenses and other services, as it deems necessary
to effect such compliance, (ii) require Lessee to perform or cause to be
performed such maintenance and repairs, including upgrades, replacements, the
obtaining of paid-up Software licenses and other services, as Lessor deems
necessary to effect such compliance and/or (iii) reasonably estimate the costs
to effect such compliance. Lessee shall pay to Lessor the costs for performance
of (i) or (ii) above, or the estimated costs under (iii) above, in any such case
including the costs of the inspection(s). If maintenance and repairs, including
upgrades, replacements, and the obtaining of paid-up Software licenses and other
services, are necessary to place any of the Equipment under any Rental Schedule
in the condition required by this Lease, Lessee shall continue to pay to Lessor
monthly Additional Rent at the last prevailing rate during the Lease Term for
Basic Rent on the Equipment under such Rental Schedule for the period of delay
until all such required maintenance and repairs can be performed, or for the
period of time reasonably necessary to accomplish such maintenance and repairs.
For any such period that applies, Lessee shall continue to provide the insurance
required during the Lease Term. However, Lessor's acceptance of such rent and
provision of insurance during such period shall not constitute a renewal of the
Lease Term, a waiver of Lessor's right to prompt return of such Equipment in the
condition required by this Section, or a waiver of Lessor's right to possession
of such Equipment.
(d) Should the inspection reveal any item(s) of the
Equipment to be missing, Lessee shall be responsible for paying to Lessor
promptly the greater of the Stipulated Loss Value or the Fair Market Value of
such item(s) of the Equipment computed as of the last Payment Date prior to the
end of the Lease Term, plus the amount of any impairment of the Fair Market
Value of the remaining item(s) of the Equipment due to the absence of such
missing item(s) of the Equipment.
12
(e) In the event that Lessee fails to return any of the
Equipment when required, at the election of Lessor effected by notice to Lessee,
the Lease Term for such Equipment shall be extended on a month-to-month basis on
the same terms as previously in effect, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor monthly
in advance Basic Rent for such Equipment at the last prevailing rate during the
unextended Lease Term, until such Equipment has been returned to Lessor pursuant
to the provisions of this Lease. Notwithstanding any month-to-month continuance
of this Lease, Lessor may resort to any remedies available to it under this
Lease, at law or in equity, to recover such Equipment at any time following the
end of such extended Lease Term .
(f) Lessor may give notice to Lessee not more than 120 days
and not less than 30 days prior to the end of the Lease Term that Lessee shall
delay returning the Equipment to Lessor and shall keep the Equipment on the
premises of Lessee in working condition after the end of the Lease Term and
until requested by Lessor to return the Equipment or until six months after the
end of the Lease Term, whichever first occurs, at which time Lessee shall
forthwith return possession of the Equipment without omissions to Lessor as
provided by the provisions of this Section other than this paragraph. After the
end of the Lease Term, Lessee shall not use the Equipment except in the
performance of demonstrations requested by Lessor. During the period from notice
to delay returning the Equipment until requested to return the Equipment or six
months after the end of the Lease Term, Lessee shall maintain the Equipment in
the same condition as required to be maintained during the Lease Term, shall
cooperate with Lessor, shall grant access to Lessee's premises for inspection of
the Equipment by potential purchasers and future lessees of the Equipment and
representatives of Lessor, and shall facilitate demonstrations of the Equipment
by Lessor. During such period and thereafter until the Equipment is delivered to
a common carrier with the insurance upon such delivery required by this Section,
Lessee shall continue to maintain the insurance required by this Lease during
the Lease Term. Lessee shall continue to have the risk of loss of the Equipment
and the obligation to indemnify Lessor as provided by this Lease until the
return of the Equipment to Lessor following such period and delivery.
16. Lessor's Ownership; Equipment To Be and Remain Personal
Property.
(a) Lessee acknowledges and agrees that it does not have,
and by execution of this Lease and/or payments and performance hereunder it
shall not have or obtain, any title to the Equipment, nor any property right or
interest, legal or equitable, therein, except its rights as Lessee hereunder and
subject to the terms hereof. Lessee shall not have or claim a security interest
and shall not seek or obtain replevin, detinue, specific performance,
sequestration, claim and delivery, or like remedies in or for this Lease, any
rents under this Lease, any or all of the Equipment, any items of personal
property identified to become items of the Equipment, or any proceeds of any or
all of the foregoing.
(b) All of the Equipment shall be and remain personal
property notwithstanding the manner in which the Equipment may be attached or
affixed to realty. Upon the expiration, cancellation or termination of the Lease
Term of any or all of the Equipment, Lessee shall have the obligation, and
Lessor shall have the right, to remove, or cause the removal of, such Equipment
from the premises where the same is then located, for return to Lessor pursuant
to the provisions of this Master Lease on return of Equipment and, if
applicable, on Events of Default, whether or not any of the Equipment is affixed
or attached to realty or to any building. In the exercise of its rights, Lessor
shall
13
not be liable for any damage to the realty or any such building or other real or
personal property occasioned by any removal of the Equipment by Lessee or Lessor
or the agents of Lessee or Lessor. Lessee further covenants and agrees that
Lessee will, at the request of Lessor, obtain and deliver to Lessor concurrently
with the execution and delivery of each Rental Schedule, a waiver, in recordable
form, from the owner and any landlord, tenant or holder of any lien or
encumbrance on the realty or building(s) on or in which any of the Equipment
described in such Rental Schedule shall be located, under which such owner,
landlord, tenant and holder (i) agree and consent that such Equipment is and
shall be personal property, owned by and removable by Lessor upon the
expiration, cancellation or termination of the Lease Term thereof, and (ii)
waive any rights of distraint or similar rights with respect to such Equipment.
(c) If Lessee is unable to return, or is prevented from
returning, any of the Equipment to Lessor upon the expiration, cancellation or
termination of the Lease Term as required under the provisions of this Master
Lease on return of Equipment, for any reason whatsoever, including, but not
limited to, the assertion by any third party of any claim against such
Equipment, or of any right with respect thereto, whether or not resulting from
the manner in which such Equipment is affixed or attached to, or installed in,
the realty or any building(s) thereon or any other personal or real property, or
from the failure of any owner, landlord or tenant of said realty (or the
building(s) thereon) or the holder of any lien or encumbrance to execute the
waiver in writing of such fact, for all purposes of this Lease such Equipment
shall be deemed to have been the subject of a Casualty Occurrence. Thereupon,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amounts provided for by the provisions of this
Master Lease on loss, damage or destruction of Equipment, with respect to such
Equipment, at the time, in the manner, and with the consequences provided by
such provisions.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, without Lessor's prior written consent, Lessee shall not permit any of
the Equipment to be attached or affixed to, imbedded in or incorporated into any
building, structure, real estate or other personal or real property so as to
become a fixture.

(h) Lessee shall not make any payment or distribution of
money, checks, securities or property to any Person in contravention of the
provisions of any Guaranty or subordination that such Person has made in favor
of Lessor or its assigns of which Lessee shall have notice or knowledge.

---
Value for such item of Equipment computed as of the latest Payment Date when

whichever of the following three amounts Lessor, in its sole discretion, shall
designate in such notice:
(A) the present value of the fair market
rental value (determined as hereafter provided in this Section) of such

as hereafter provided in this Section) of such item of Equipment as of the
date specified in such notice, or
(C) if Lessor shall have sold or re-leased

such sale or re-lease,
plus interest at the Default Interest Rate (a) on such sum from the such Payment
--- -------
Date until paid and (b) on whichever of such three amounts is so designated by
----
Lessor from such Payment Date until whichever one of the following shall be
------------
applicable to the designated amount: the time when the fair market rental or
sales value shall have been so determined or the time when the Equipment shall

In addition to the foregoing, Lessor may also recover from Lessee all
costs and expenses arising out of Lessee's default, including, without
limitation, expenses of repossession of the Equipment and the storage,
inspection, repair, reconditioning, sale and re-leasing thereof, and reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred by Lessor in exercising any of its rights or remedies
hereunder. For the purposes of this Section only, "fair market rental value"
and "fair market sales value" shall be determined by an appraisal of an
independent appraiser chosen by Lessor, and the cost of any such appraisal shall
be borne by Lessee. No remedy referred to in this Section is intended to be
exclusive, but
18
each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to above
or otherwise available to Lessor at law or in equity or in bankruptcy. Lessor
shall have no duty to pay Lessee any surplus from sale or lease of the
Equipment, or in the fair market rental or sales value of the Equipment, above
all amounts payable by Lessee to Lessor. The exercise by Lessor of any one or
more remedies shall not be deemed to preclude the simultaneous or later exercise
by Lessor of any or all such previously exercised remedies and any and all other
remedies.
19. Assignment and Transfer by Lessor.
(a) Lessor may at any time and from time to time assign to
one or more security assignees (all herein called the "Secured Party" and also
called an "Assignee") for the purpose of securing a loan to Lessor or for any
other purpose, and at its sole discretion, may also sell or transfer to one or
more Persons (herein called the "Transferee" and also called an "Assignee"), in
any case subject to the rights of Lessee under this Lease but without notice to
or consent of Lessee, this Lease, any other Transactional Documents, any or all
of the Equipment, and all sums at any time due and to become due or at any time
owing or payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease or pursuant to any or all
of the Transactional Documents. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to
perform any duty, covenant or condition required to be performed by Lessor under
this Lease or any other Transactional Documents.
(b) Lessee agrees that notwithstanding any assignment to a
Secured Party, each and every covenant, agreement, representation and warranty
of Lessor under this Lease shall be and remain the sole liability of Lessor and
of every successor in interest of Lessor (excluding any Secured Party) or, in
the case of assignment to a Transferee, shall become and remain the sole
liability of the Transferee if so agreed to by the Transferee and if not so
agreed to shall be and remain the sole liability of Lessor. Lessee further
agrees and acknowledges that any assignment, sale or transfer by Lessor could
not and shall not materially change any duty or obligation of Lessee or
materially increase any burden or risk of Lessee.
(c) Lessee further acknowledges and agrees that from and
after the receipt by Lessee of written notice of an assignment from Lessor,
Lessee shall comply with the directions or demands given in writing by the
Secured Party or (to the extent not inconsistent with the directions or demands
of the Secured Party) by the Transferee, and the Secured Party or Transferee
shall have the right to exercise (either in its own name or in the name of
Lessor) all rights, privileges, and remedies of Lessor provided for herein.
Lessee agrees that any obligation to a Secured Party as a result of the
assignment of this Lease to a Secured Party as aforesaid shall not be reduced or
minimized by reason of any claim, defense, counterclaim, set-off, abatement,
reduction or recoupment or other right that Lessee might otherwise have been
able to assert against Lessor, any prior Assignee or any Transferee. After any
assignment to a Secured Party and unless and until Lessee is otherwise notified
by the Secured Party, this Lease may not be amended or modified, and no consent
or waiver hereunder shall be effective, without the prior written consent of the
Secured Party. Lessee agrees to execute and Lessor or any Transferee or Secured
Party may record any instruments and documents relating to such assignment,
mortgage or security interest desired by Lessor or any Transferee or Secured
Party. Lessee shall promptly provide any such instruments and documents that
are requested by Lessor or any Assignee including certificates indicating any
claim, defense, counterclaim, set-off, abatement, reduction, recoupment or other
right that Lessee may have against Lessor or any Assignee, the date to which
Basic Rent has been
19
paid under each Rental Schedule hereunder and that this Lease is in effect
without default or amendment, or the extent of such default or amendment, as the
case may be.
20. Recording and Filing; Expenses. Lessee will, upon demand of
Lessor, at Lessee's cost and expense, do and perform any other act and will
execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, register, record and deposit (and will re-
file, re-register, re-record or re-deposit whenever required) any and all
instruments required by law or requested by Lessor (or any Assignee) including,
without limitation, financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code
(which, notwithstanding the intent of Lessor and Lessee that this is a true
lease, Lessor shall have the right to file wherever and whenever Lessor
requires), for the purpose of providing proper protection to the satisfaction of
Lessor (and/or any Assignee) of Lessor's title to any Equipment (and/or of any
Assignee's security interest in the Equipment) or for the purpose of carrying
out the intention of this Lease. Lessee will also pay, or will upon demand
reimburse Lessor for, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in
connection with this Lease, any other Transactional Documents, and any related
transactions, closings, assignments, sales and transfers to any Secured Party or
Transferee, enforcement of Lessor's rights under this Lease and the other
Transactional Documents, proceedings involving Lessee or any Guarantor as a
debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, filings, the documentation of
this and any related transactions, and fees and costs of attorneys for Lessor in
connection therewith.
21. Quiet Enjoyment. So long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing hereunder, Lessee shall have peaceful and quiet use and
enjoyment of the Equipment during the Lease Term as against acts of Lessor or
anyone claiming solely by, through or under Lessor including any Secured Party
or Transferee.
22. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Additional Rights of Lessor.
(a) No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any
right, power or remedy hereunder on the part of Lessor shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or remedy. Any waiver, to be effective, must be in writing. A
waiver of any covenant, term or condition contained herein shall not be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or
condition. Receipt by Lessor of any Basic Rent or Additional Rent with
knowledge of the breach of any provision hereof shall not constitute a waiver of
such breach.
(b) Lessor shall be entitled to injunctive relief in case of
the violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the provisions
hereof, to a decree compelling performance of any of the provisions hereof, and
to any other remedy allowed in law or in equity.
23. Sublease. Lessee shall not sublease the Equipment, relinquish
possession of the Equipment, or assign, pledge or hypothecate this Lease or any
of Lessee's rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without the
prior written consent of Lessor. Nevertheless, any such sublease and the rents,
profits and proceeds therefrom shall be the property of Lessor and, unless
Lessor has consented to such sublease, Lessor within 30 days after receiving
notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Master Lease on notices
shall have the right to declare the sublease void from its purported
commencement, to terminate the sublease or to accept the sublease. Any such
attempted relinquishment of possession, assignment, pledge or
20
hypothecation by Lessee without such consent shall be null and void. Lessor
shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment by Lessee of its
rights under this Lease.
24. Purchase Obligation. Lessee shall be obligated to purchase all
items of the Equipment then subject to a Rental Schedule at the expiration of
the Primary Term for such items of the Equipment for a purchase price, payable
in immediately available funds, equal to the Fair Market Value of such items
which Fair Market Value Lessor and Lessee agree shall be equal to ten percent
(10%) of the original Acquisition Cost of the Equipment, plus any applicable
sales, excise or other taxes imposed as a result of such sale (other than net
income taxes attributable to such sale). The purchase price hereunder for the
Equipment subject to Rental Schedule No. 1 shall be $157,502.69, plus any
applicable sales, excise or other taxes imposed as a result of such sale (other
than net income taxes attributable to such sale). Lessor's sale of any item of
the Equipment shall be on an "as-is", "where-is" basis, without any
representation or warranty by or recourse to Lessor, as provided by the
provisions of this Master Lease on disclaimer of warranties, and shall be
subject to such additional terms and conditions as may be specified in file
Rental Schedule.
25. Prepayment Option. After at least 24 Basic Rent Payments shall
have been made onevery Rental Schedule under this Master Lease for all of the
Equipment, the Lessee shall have the right to prepay this Lease by making
payment to the Lessor of the amount equal to the sum of all future payments of
the Basic Rent and for the purchase of the Equipment at the end of the 48 month
Lease Term, discounted at the rate of 6% per annum from the dates when such
payments otherwise shall have been due, plus any applicable sales taxes and any
other amounts then due and unpaid under the Lease.
26. Notices. Any notice or other communication required or
permitted to be given by either party hereto to the other party shall be deemed
to have been given upon its receipt, in writing, by the receiving party at its
address set forth below, or at such other address as the receiving party shall
have furnished to the other party by notice pursuant to this Section.

Lease. This Lease constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of the terms
of the agreement between the parties with respect to the leasing of the
Equipment and any sale of the Equipment by Lessor to Lessee. Any provision of
this Lease which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be, as
to such jurisdiction, ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. LESSEE

interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, be payable by Lessee to Lessor on
demand.

(g) Filings. The Company shall pay all costs of filing any
financing, continuation, or termination statements with respect to the security
interest created by this Agreement and of recordation of this Agreement as a

its present business unless FINOVA gives its written consent to another use.

CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT OF
EQUIPMENT LEASE AGREEMENT
This Consent to Assignment dated as of December 12, 1996, is made by
and between FINOVA TECHNOLOGY FINANCE, INC. ("Lessor") and CINEMA RIDE, INC.
("Lessee"), and relates to a certain Master Equipment Lease Agreement dated
December 12, 1996 (the "Master Lease") and all Rental Schedules thereunder
between Lessor and Lessee (the Master Lease and Rental Schedules sometimes
collectively referred to as the "Lease").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the terms of the Master Lease provide that the Lessor may
assign the Lease, and all sums at any time due or to become due under the Lease,
at any time to any assignee;
WHEREAS, Lessee desires to lease certain equipment from Lessor
pursuant to the terms of the Lease; and
WHEREAS, Lessor is ready, willing and able to lease certain equipment

1. Lessor hereby notifies and directs Lessee that Lessor intends
to assign to one or more financial institutions (herein called the "Lender") all
of its rights, but none of its obligations, under the Lease, including the right
to receive all periodic rentals and other payments of every kind and nature
payable under the Lease. Upon written notice from Lessor that such assignment
has taken place, all periodic rentals payable under the Lease, commencing with
the payment date specified in such notice (the "Rent Assignment Date"), shall be
payable directly to Lender, unless otherwise provided, in the manner specified
in such notice. All rent due prior to the Rent Assignment Date shall be payable
to Lessor in accordance with the terms of the Lease. Lessee acknowledges that
Lessor may assign different Rental Schedules to different Lenders.
2. Lessee hereby acknowledges receipt of notification from Lessor
of Lessor's intent to assign its rights under the Lease as described above.
Lessee hereby consents to such assignment and agrees that upon request by
Lessor, Lessee will execute and deliver to Lessor and Lender such other
consents, acknowledgments and related documents as Lessor or Lender may
reasonably request, covering the Lease and the equipment which is subject to the
Lease (the "Equipment").
3. Lessee, for itself, its successors and assigns represents,
warrants and agrees as follows for the benefit of Lessor and Lender:
(i) the Equipment is in the possession and control of
Lessee at the places described in the Lease;
(ii) there are no liens or judgments, suits or
proceedings, pending or threatened, against Lessee which would adversely affect
its ability to make payments under the Lease;
(iii) no approval, consent or withholding of objection
is required from any governmental authority with respect to Lessee's performance
under the Lease;
32
(iv) notwithstanding any breach of the Lease by
Lessor, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of Lessor, or the failure of any
security interest of Lessor or Lender in the Equipment, or any other
circumstance whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, as long as Lessee's
possession of the Equipment under the Lease is not impaired thereby Lessee shall
be absolutely and unconditionally obligated to perform all terms and conditions
of the Lease, and shall pay all amounts due under the Lease directly to Lender
without abatement, reduction, counterclaim, defense or offset; Lessee's sole
remedies for such breach of the Lease by Lessor being, to the extent permitted
by the Lease, a claim for damages against Lessor, the vendor or the manufacturer
of the Equipment, or all of them;
(v) Lessee will deliver duplicate copies of all
notices and other communications given to or made by Lessee pursuant to the
Lease to any Lender at the address set forth in the written notice to Lessee
given pursuant to Section 1 hereof;
(vi) Lessee will not enter into any agreement
amending, modifying, or terminating the Lease without the prior written consent
of any Lender, and any such attempted agreement shall be void;
(vii) Lessee has not received notice of a prior sale,
transfer, assignment, hypothecation or pledge of the Lease or of the rents
reserved thereunder, or of the Equipment;
(viii) Lessee has obtained property and public liability
insurance as required by the Lease which names Lessor as loss payee or
additional insured;
(ix) all financial statements of Lessee furnished and
to be furnished to Lessor or Lender are and will be correct and complete in all
respects and fairly present the financial condition and the results of
operations of Lessee for the periods stated therein, and have been or will be
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied. Lessee acknowledges that all financial statements
delivered and to be delivered to Lessor by Lessee have been and will be
delivered to and relied upon by any Lender; and
(x) there has been no material adverse change in
Lessee's financial condition since the date of the most recent financial
statements furnished to Lessor.
4. Lessee agrees with and acknowledges to Lessor that any
assignment, sale or transfer by Lessor could not and shall not materially change
any duty or obligation of Lessee or materially increase any burden or risk of
Lessee.
33
5. The terms and conditions of this Consent to Assignment shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Connecticut.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Consent to Assignment
to be executed by their duly authorized representatives.

Gentlemen:
I am counsel for CINEMA RIDE, INC. ("Seller") and have advised it in
connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of the Sale and
Leaseback Agreement (the "Agreement") dated December 12, 1996, between FINOVA
Technology Finance, Inc., ("Buyer") and Seller (the Agreement and all documents
related thereto including the Master Equipment Lease Agreement dated December
12, 1996, between Buyer as Lessor and Seller as Lessee (the "Lease"), Rental
Schedule No. 1 under the Lease (the "Rental Schedule") and the Xxxx of Sale
dated December 24, 1996, pursuant to which the Equipment ]eased under the Rental
Schedule is sold by Seller to Buyer are hereinafter referred to as the
"Documents").
In connection with this opinion, I have examined or caused to be
examined the Documents and the Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws and records
of corporate proceedings of Seller and such other records and documents, and
have made such investigations of law, as I have deemed necessary.
Upon the basis of the foregoing, it is my opinion that:
1. Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified and in
good standing to do business wherever necessary to carry on its present business
and operations, including the jurisdiction(s) where the Equipment is or will be
installed.
2. Seller has full power to enter into the Documents and to engage
in the transactions contemplated by the Documents.
3. The person who has executed and delivered the Agreement, Lease
and Rental Schedule and who shall execute and deliver the Xxxx of Sale has the
authority to bind Seller.
4. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement, Xxxx
of Sale, Lease and Rental Schedule and the sale and leaseback of the Equipment
by Seller pursuant to the Documents will not conflict with or be a breach of any
provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of Seller or any law
(including fraudulent conveyance and bulk sales laws), judgment, writ,
injunction, decree, award, rule or regulation of any court, administrative
agency or other governmental authority, or of any agreement to which Seller is a
party or by which it is bound, or constitute a default under any thereof.
5. The Agreement, Lease and Rental Schedule are, and the Xxxx of
Sale, when executed and delivered to Buyer, will be, duly authorized, valid,
legal and binding agreements of Seller enforceable against Seller in accordance
with the respective terms thereof and enforceable against the creditors of
Seller and purchasers from the creditors of Seller.
6. Neither the execution and delivery by Seller of the Agreement
and the other Documents nor the performance by Seller contemplated by the
Agreement and the other Documents result in the creation (other than in favor of
Buyer) of any lien, charge, security
35
interest or other encumbrance upon any of the Equipment or conflict with or
result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or
constitute a default under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other
instrument of which I have knowledge (after reasonable investigation) to which
Seller is a party or by which it or its property is bound or affected.
7. No filing, giving of notice or publication is required in
connection with the sale and leaseback or if required such filing, notice or
publication has been duly made or given.
8. No vote or consent of, or notice to, the holders of any class
of stock of Seller is required, or if required, such vote, consent or notice has
been obtained or given, to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by
Seller of the Agreement, Xxxx of Sale, Lease and Rental Schedule.
9. Seller has and is transferring to Buyer title to the Equipment
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any kind or description. In
giving this opinion, liens arising by law for unpaid state and local taxes of
Lessee are specifically covered, and copies of the relevant tax clearances upon
which this opinion relies are attached hereto.
10. No consent, approval, withholding of objection or other
authorization of or by any court, administrative agency, other governmental
authority or any other person is required, except such consents, approvals or
other authorizations which have been duly obtained and are in full force and
effect, in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Seller of,
or the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated by, the
Documents.
11. After reasonable investigation, I know of no actions, suits or
proceedings pending or threatened in any court or before any administrative
agency or other governmental authority against or affecting Seller which, if
adversely determined, will or could, individually or in the aggregate,
materially and adversely affect the business, operations, property or financial
condition of Seller, or the ability of Seller to perform its obligations under
the Documents.
12. Seller possesses any and all authorizations, certifications and
licenses which are or may be required for Seller to use and operate the sold and
leased back Equipment as Lessee under the Lease.
13. After reasonable investigation, I know of no Event of Default
under the Lease or event or condition which with the passage of time, the giving
of notice, or both, would constitute such Event of Default, that exists or is
continuing.
This opinion may be relied upon only by Buyer and its lenders and
assigns.
Very truly yours,

RENTAL SCHEDULE NO. 1
With respect to that certain Master Equipment Lease Agreement dated December 12,
1996 (the "Master Lease") between FINOVA Technology Finance, Inc. ("Lessor") and
CINEMA RIDE, INC. ("Lessee"), Lessor and Lessee agree as follows, and that the
following terms have the following meanings:

3. PAYMENT: Except as otherwise specified in this Rental
-------
Schedule, payments of Basic Rent and Additional Rent made pursuant to this
Rental Schedule shall be made monthly and shall be due and payable in advance on
the first day of each calendar month (each such date being hereinafter called a
"Payment Date"); provided, however, that Lessee shall pay to Lessor the Basic
Rent for the first and last full calendar month of the Lease Term at the time
that Lessee furnishes to Lessor this Rental Schedule executed by Lessee. If the
Lease Commencement Date shall be other than the first day of a calendar month,
the Basic Rent for such partial month of the Lease Term shall be an amount equal
to one-thirtieth (1/30th) of the monthly Basic Rent set forth in this Rental
Schedule multiplied by the number of days in Such partial month, and such
partial month's rent shall be payable on the first day of the first full
calendar month of the Lease Term. Payment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent
shall be made to Lessor at the following address: FINOVA Technology Finance,

where Lessor notifies Lessee to make payment.
4. ACQUISITION COST: $1,575,026.88. The amount of Basic Rent has
----------------
been established based on Lessor's estimate that the aggregate Acquisition Cost
for the Equipment shall be the above amount. In the event that the actual
aggregate Acquisition Cost differs from the above amount, the amount of the
Basic Rent shall be adjusted as described below and Lessee authorizes Lessor to
so adjust the amount of said Basic Rent set forth in this Rental Schedule.
Lessor will inform Lessee in writing of any such adjustments. The Acquisition
Cost for individual items of the Equipment (if any) is set forth on Schedule A
attached hereto.
5. BASIC RENT: For each full calendar month $41,031.03 (plus
----------
applicable sales/use tax), except as it may be changed by (i) a change in the
Acquisition Cost as defined above, or (ii) an adjustment in the Lease Rate
Factor due to a change in the Base Rate, both as defined below. The Basic Rent
is calculated by multiplying the Acquisition Cost by the Lease Rate Factor. If
the Acquisition Cost differs from the amount described above, or if the Lease
Rate Factor is adjusted as described below, the Basic Rent shall be recalculated
using the actual Acquisition Cost and the Lease Rate Factor as adjusted. Lessee
acknowledges that at or before the execution of this Rental Schedule, Lessor
offered to sell the Equipment to Lessee as and to the extent provided by this
Lease for both a cash price and a credit or time price and Lessee chose the
higher time price.
41
6. LEASE RATE FACTOR: The Lease Rate Factor is $26.051 per $1,000
-----------------
of Acquisition Cost, subject to adjustment as follows. Lessor reserves the
right to increase the amount of the monthly payment of Basic Rent as of the
Lease Commencement Date proportionally to any increase in the weekly average of
the interest rates of three-year U.S. Treasury Securities (the "Base Rate") from
the week ended October 4, 1996 to the week preceding the Lease Commencement
