agent has inspected and placed identification labels on the Equipment; (x)
Lessee shall offer to Lessor, on an exclusive basis, all lease transactions
for equipment contemplated by Lessee until expiration of all Schedules;

4. NO WARRANTIES BY LESSOR. (a) Lessee has selected both (i) the
Equipment and (ii) the suppliers (herein called "Vendor") from whom Lessor is
to purchase the Equipment. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AS TO
ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING THE CONDITION OF THE EQUIPMENT, ITS
MERCHANTABILITY OR ITS FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND AS TO LESSOR,
LESSEE LEASES THE EQUIPMENT "AS IS" AND WITH ALL FAULTS. (b) If the Equipment
is not properly installed, does not operate as represented or warranted by
Vendor or is unsatisfactory for any reason, Lessee shall make any claim on
account thereof solely against Vendor and shall, nevertheless, pay Lessor all
rent payable under this Lease, Lessee hereby waiving any such claims as
against Lessor. Lessor hereby agrees to assign to Lessee solely for the
purpose of making and prosecuting any said claim, to the extent assignable,
all of the rights which Lessor has against Vendor for breach of warranty or
other representation respecting the Equipment. Lessor shall have no
responsibility for delay or failure to fill the order. (c) Lessee understands
and agrees that neither the Vendor nor any salesman or other agent of the
Vendor is an agent of Lessor. No salesman or agent of Vendor is authorized to
waive or alter any term or condition of this Lease, and no representation as
to the Equipment or any other matter by the Vendor shall in any way affect
Lessee's duty to pay the rent and perform its other obligations as set forth
in this Lease. (d) Lessee hereby requests Lessor to purchase Equipment from
Vendor and to lease Equipment to Lessee on the terms and conditions of the
Lease set forth herein. (e) Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to insert in this
Lease and each Schedule hereto the serial numbers and other identification
data of the Equipment when determined by Lessor.
5. LESSEE'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Lessee represents and

the state of its incorporation, and duly qualified to do business, and will
remain duly qualified during the term of this Lease, in each state where the

full authority to execute and deliver this Lease and perform the terms
hereof, and this Lease has been duly authorized and constitutes valid and

Lessee or result in any breach of any agreement or other instrument binding

indebtedness, or filing with, or approval of, any governmental agency or
commission, is a condition to the performance of the terms hereof; (e) there

court or administrative agency which might have a materially adverse effect
on the business, financial condition
-2-
or operations of Lessee; (f) no deed of trust, mortgage or third party
interest arising through Lessee will attach to the Equipment or the Lease;

may be attached to any real property; (h) all credit, financial and any other
information submitted to Lessor herewith or any other time is true and
correct; and (i) Lessee has provided, or will provide if requested, Lessee's

6. EQUIPMENT ORDERING. Lessee shall be responsible for all packing,
rigging, transportation and installation charges for the Equipment and Lessor

Equipment itself and shall arrange for delivery of Equipment so that it can
be accepted in accordance with Section 7 hereof. Lessee hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from any claims, liabilities, costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Lessor arising
out of any purchase orders or assignments executed by Lessor with respect to
any Equipment or services relating thereto.
7. LESSEE ACCEPTANCE. Lessee shall return to Lessor the signed and
dated Acceptance Notice attached to each Schedule hereto (a) acknowledging
the Equipment has been received, installed and is ready for use and (b)
accepting it as satisfactory in all respects for the purposes of this Lease.
Lessor is authorized to fill in the Rent Start Date on each Schedule in
accordance with the foregoing.
8. LOCATION; INSPECTION; LABELS. Equipment shall be delivered to and
shall not be removed from the Equipment "Location" shown on each Schedule
without Lessor's prior written consent, which "Location" shall in all events
be within the United States. Lessor shall have the right to inspect Equipment
at any reasonable time. Lessee shall be responsible for all labor, material
and freight charges incurred in connection with any removal or relocation of
such Equipment which is requested by the Lessee and consented to by Lessor,
as well as for any charges due to the installation or moving of the
Equipment. The rental payments shall continue during any period in which the
Equipment is in transit during a relocation. Lessor or its agent shall xxxx
and label Equipment, which labels shall state Equipment is owned by Lessor,
and Lessee shall keep such labels on the Equipment as labeled by Lessor or
its agent.
9. EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE. (a) GENERAL. Lessee will locate or base each
item of Equipment where designated in an Acceptance Notice and will
reasonably permit Lessor to inspect such item of Equipment and its
maintenance records. Lessee will at its sole expense comply with all
applicable laws, rules, regulations, requirements and orders with respect to
the use, maintenance, repair, condition, storage and operation of each item
of Equipment. Except as required herein, Lessee will not make any addition or
improvement to any item of Equipment that is not readily removable without
causing material damage to any item or impairing its original value or
utility. Any addition or improvement that is so required or cannot be so
removed will immediately become the property of Lessor. (b) SERVICE AND
REPAIR. Lessee shall have the Equipment certified for the Vendor's standard
maintenance agreement prior to delivery to Lessor upon expiration of this
Lease. With respect to any other Equipment, Lessee will, at its sole expense,
maintain and service, and repair any damage to, each item of Equipment in a
manner consistent with prudent industry practice and Lessee's own practice so
that such item of Equipment is at all times (i) in the same condition as when
delivered to Lessee, except for ordinary wear and tear, (ii) in good
operating order for the function intended by its manufacturer's warranties
and recommendations.
-3-
10. LOSS OR DAMAGE. Lessee assumes the entire risk of loss to the
Equipment through use, operation or otherwise. Lessee hereby indemnifies and
holds harmless Lessor from and against all claims, loss of rental payments,
costs, damages, and expenses relating to or resulting from any loss, damage or
destruction of the Equipment, any such occurrence being hereinafter called a
"Casualty Occurrence." On the first rental payment date following such
Casualty Occurrence, or, if there is no such rental payment date, thirty (30)
days after such Casualty Occurrence, Lessee shall (i) repair the Equipment,
returning it to good operating condition or (ii) replace the Equipment with
identical equipment in good condition and repair, the title to which shall
vest in Lessor and which thereafter shall be subject to the terms of this
Lease; or (iii) pay to Lessor (a) any unpaid accrued amounts relating to such
Equipment due Lessor under this Lease up to the date of the Casualty
Occurrence, and (b) a sum equal to the Casualty Value as set forth in the
Casualty Value table attached to each Schedule hereto for such Equipment.
Upon the making of such payment, the term of this Lease as to each unit of
Equipment with respect to which the Casualty Value was paid shall terminate.
11. GENERAL INDEMNITY. Lessee will protect, indemnify and save
harmless Lessor from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims,
damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses, imposed upon or
incurred by or asserted against Lessor or any assignee of Lessor by Lessee or
any third party by reason of the occurrence or existence (or alleged
occurrence or existence) of any act or event relating to or caused by the
Equipment, including but not limited to, consequential or special damages of
any kind, or any failure on the part of Lessee to perform or comply with any
of the terms of this Lease. In the event that any action, suit or proceeding
is brought against Lessor by reason of any such occurrence, Lessee, upon
request of Lessor, will at Lessee's expense resist and defend such action,
suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel
designated and approved by Lessor. Lessee's obligations under this Section 11
shall survive the expiration of this Lease with respect to acts or events
occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the return of the Equipment to
Lessor at the end of the Lease term.
12. INSURANCE. Lessee at its expense shall keep the Equipment
insured for the entire term and any extensions of this Lease against all
risks for at least the replacement value of such Equipment and shall provide
for a loss payable endorsement to Lessor or any assignee of Lessor. Lessee
shall maintain comprehensive general public liability insurance with respect
to loss or damage for personal injury, death or property damage in an amount
not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence, naming Lessor and Lessor's assignee
as additional insured. Such insurance shall contain insurer's agreement to
give thirty (30) days written notice to Lessor before cancellation or
material change of any policy of insurance. Lessee will provide Lessor and
any assignee of Lessor with a certificate of insurance from the insurer
evidencing Lessor's or such assignee's interest in the policy of insurance.
Such insurance shall cover any Casualty Occurrence to any unit of Equipment.
Notwithstanding anything in Section 10 or this Section 12 to the contrary,
this Lease and Lessee's obligations hereunder and under each Schedule shall
remain in full force and effect with respect to any unit of Equipment which
is not subject to a Casualty Occurrence. If Lessee fails to provide or
maintain insurance as required herein, Lessor shall have the right, but shall
not be obligated to obtain such insurance. In that event, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor the cost thereof.
13. TAXES. Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor for, (or pay directly
if instructed by Lessor), and agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless
from, all fees (including, but not limited to, license, documentation,
recording and registration fees), and all sales, use, gross receipts,
personal property, occupational, value added or other taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, assessments, charges, or withholdings of any nature whatsoever,
-4-
together with any penalties, fines, additions to tax, or interest thereon
(all of the foregoing being hereafter referred to as "Impositions") except
same as may be attributable to Lessor's income, arising at any time prior to
or during the term of this Lease, or upon termination or early termination of
this Lease and levied or imposed upon Lessor directly or otherwise by any
Federal, state or local government in the United States or by any foreign
country or foreign or international taxing authority upon or with respect to
(i) the Equipment, (ii) the exportation, importation, registration, purchase,
ownership, delivery, leasing, possession, use, operation, storage,
maintenance, repair, return, sale, transfer of title, or other disposition
thereof, (iii) the rentals, receipts, or earnings arising from the Equipment,
or any disposition of the rights to such rentals, receipts, or earnings, (iv)
any payment pursuant to this Lease, and (v) this Lease or the transaction or
any part thereof. Lessee's obligations under this Section 13 shall survive
the expiration of this Lease with respect to acts or events occurring or
alleged to have occurred prior to the return of the Equipment to Lessor at
the end of the Lease term.
14. PAYMENT BY LESSOR. If Lessee shall fail to make any payment or
perform any act required hereunder, then Lessor may, but shall not be
required to, after such notice to Lessee as is reasonable under the
circumstances, make such payment or perform such act with the same effect as
if made or performed by Lessee. Lessee will upon demand reimburse Lessor for
all sums paid and all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
performance of any such act.
15. SURRENDER OF EQUIPMENT. Upon termination as a result of a
default of this Lease, with respect to each group of Equipment, Lessee will
forthwith surrender the Equipment to Lessor delivered in as good order and
condition as originally delivered, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Lessor
may, at its sole option, arrange for removal and transportation of the
Equipment provided that Lessee's obligations under Sections 10, 11 and 12
shall not be released. Lessee shall bear all expenses of delivering (which
include, but are not limited to, the de-installation, insurance, packaging and
transportation of) the Equipment to Lessor's location or other location
within the United States as Lessor may request. In the event Lessee fails to
deliver the Equipment as directed above, all obligations of Lessee under this
Lease, including rental payments, shall remain in full force and effect until
Lessee delivers the Equipment to Lessor.
16. ASSIGNMENT. WITHOUT LESSOR'S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT, SUCH
CONSENT NOT TO BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD, LESSEE SHALL NOT (a) ASSIGN,
TRANSFER, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATE OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF THIS LEASE, EQUIPMENT,
OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN, OR (b) SUBJECT OR LEND EQUIPMENT OR PERMIT IT TO BE
USED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN LESSEE OR LESSEE'S EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS OR
AGENTS. LESSOR MAY ASSIGN THIS LEASE OR GRANT A SECURITY INTEREST IN ANY OR
ALL EQUIPMENT, OR BOTH, IN WHOLE OR IN PART TO ONE OR MORE ASSIGNEES OR
SECURED PARTIES WITHOUT NOTICE TO LESSEE. If Lessee is given notice of such
assignment it agrees to acknowledge receipt thereof in writing and Lessee
shall execute such additional documentation as Lessor's assignee shall
require. Each such assignee and/or secured party shall have all of the
rights, but none of the obligations, of Lessor under this Lease, unless such
assignee or secured party expressly agrees to assume such obligations in
writing. Lessee shall not assert against any assignee and/or secured party
any defense, counterclaim or offset that Lessee may have against Lessor.
Notwithstanding any such assignment, and providing no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Lessor, or its assignees, secured parties, or
their agents or assigns, shall not interfere with Lessee's right to quietly
enjoy use of Equipment subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
Subject to the foregoing, this Lease inures to the benefit of and is binding
upon the successors and assignees of the parties hereto. Lessee acknowledges
that any such assignment by Lessor will not materially change Lessee's duties
or obligations under the Lease or increase any burden of risk on Lessee.
-5-
17. DEFAULT. (a) EVENT OF DEFAULT. Any of the following events
or conditions shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder: (i) Lessee's
failure to pay any monies due to Lessor hereunder or under any Schedule
beyond the fifth (5th) day after the same is due; (ii) Lessee's failure to
comply with its obligations under Section 12 or Section 16; (iii) Lessee's
failure to comply with or perform any term, covenant, condition, warranty or
representation of this Lease or any Schedule hereto or under any other
agreement between Lessee and Lessor or under any lease of real property
covering the location of Equipment if such failure to comply or perform is
not cured by Lessee within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice thereof;
(iv) seizure of the Equipment under legal process; (v) the filing by or
against Lessee of a petition for reorganization or liquidation under the
Bankruptcy Code of any amendment thereto or under any other insolvency law
providing for the relief of debtors; (vi) the voluntary or involuntary making
of an assignment of a substantial portion of its assets by Lessee, or any
guarantor ("Guarantor") under any guaranty executed in connection with this
Lease ("Guaranty"), for the benefit of its creditors, the appointment of a
receiver or trustee for Lessee or any Guarantor for any of Lessee's or
Guarantor's assets, the institution by or against Lessee or any Guarantor of
any formal or informal proceeding for dissolution, liquidation, settlement of
claims against or winding up of the affairs of Lessee or any Guarantor,
PROVIDED that in the case of all such involuntary proceedings, same are not
dismissed within sixty (60) days after commencement; or (vii) the making by
Lessee or any Guarantor of a transfer of all or a material portion of
Lessee's or Guarantor's assets or inventory not in the ordinary course of
business.
(b) REMEDIES. If any Event of Default shall have occurred:
(i) Lessor may proceed by appropriate court action or actions either
at law or in equity to enforce performance by Lessee, of the applicable
covenants of this Lease, or to recover damages therefor; or
(ii) Lessee will, without demand, on the next rent payment date
following the Event of Default, pay to Lessor as liquidated damages which the
parties agree are fair and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the
time this Lease is entered into, and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the
Casualty Value of the Equipment set forth in Exhibit C together with any rent
or other amounts past due and owing by Lessee hereunder; and
(iii) Lessor may, without notice to or demand upon Lessee;
(a) Take possession of the Equipment and lease or sell the same
or any portion thereof, for such period, amount, and to such entity as Lessor
shall elect. The proceeds of such lease or sale will be applied by Lessor (A)
first, to pay all costs and expenses,including reasonable legal fees and
disbursements, incurred by Lessor as a result of the default and the exercise
of its remedies with respect thereto, (B) second, to pay Lessor an amount
equal to any unpaid rent or other amounts past due and payable plus the
Casualty Value, to the extent not previously paid by Lessee,and (C) third, to
reimburse Lessee for the Casualty Value to the extent previously paid. Any
surplus remaining thereafter will be retained by Lessor.
(b) Take possession of the Equipment and hold and keep idle the
same or any portion thereof.
Lessee agrees to pay all internal and out-of-pocket costs
of Lessor related to the exercise of its remedies, including direct costs of
its in-house counsel
-6-
and out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses. At Lessor's request, Lessee shall
assemble the Equipment and make it available to Lessor at such location as
Lessor may designate. Lessee waives any right it may have to redeem the
Equipment.
Repossession of any or all Equipment shall not terminate
this Lease or any Schedule unless Lesser notifies Lessee in writing. Any
amount required to be paid under this Section shall be increased by a service
charge at the rate of 2.0% per month, or the highest rate of interest
permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, accruing from the date the
Casualty Value or other amounts are payable hereunder until such amounts are
paid.
None of the above remedies is intended to be exclusive, but
each is cumulative and in addition to any other remedy available to Lessor,
and all may be enforced separately or concurrently.
18. LATE PAYMENTS. Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to
the greater of 10% of all amounts owed Lessor by Lessee which are not paid
when due or $100, but in no event an amount greater than the highest rate
permitted by applicable law. If such funds have not been received by Lessor
at Lessor's place of business or by Lessor's designated agent by the date
such funds are due under this Lease, Lessor shall xxxx Lessee for such
charges. Lessee acknowledges that invoices for rentals due hereunder are sent
by Lessor for Lessee's convenience only. Lessee's non-receipt of an invoice
will not relieve Lessee of its obligation to make rent payments hereunder.
19. LESSOR'S EXPENSE. Lessee shall pay Lessor all costs and
expenses including reasonable attorney's fees and the fees of the collection
agencies, incurred by Lessor in enforcing any of the terms, conditions or
provisions hereof.

personal property of Lessor, and Lessee shall have no right, title or
interest therein or thereto except as expressly set forth in this Lease,

have the duty and Lessor shall have the right to remove the Equipment from
the premises where the same be located whether or not affixed or attached to
the real property or any building, at the cost and expense of Lessee.

Equipment or which cannot be removed without damage to the Equipment, or
which in any way affect the value of the Equipment for purposes of resale or
re-lease.

agreements, promises, or representations. The terms and conditions hereof
shall prevail notwithstanding any variance with the terms of any purchase

except by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of the Lessor and the
Lessee.

invalidity shall not affect any other provisions hereof.

each Schedule hereunder in the proportion that the purchase price of the
Equipment leased pursuant to the Schedule bears to Lessor's entire

shall be non-refundable except if Lessor defaults in its obligations pursuant
to Section 3.
