Equipment Total: $251,980.76
Payment Total: $3,902.82

2. Acceptance. Lessee acknowledges and represents that the Units (a) have been delivered to, received and inspected by Lessee, (b) are in good operating order, repair, condition and appearance, (c) are of the manufacture, design and capacity selected by Lessee and are suitable for the purposes for which the Units are leased, and are acceptable and satisfactory to Lessee, (d) do not require any additions or modifications to make them suitable for use, other than ancillary modifications or additions normally made by lessees of similar assets, and are available for use and lease by Lessee and Lessor, and (e) have been irrevocably accepted as "Units" leased by Lessee under this Schedule as of the date written below (the "Acceptance Date").
3. Term. The term of the Lease for the Units is for an "Interim
Term" (if any) beginning on the Acceptance Date, and continuing through
and including the day preceding the Base Date; and for a "Base Term"
of Seventy-eight (78) months, beginning on the first to occur of the 5th day of
the calendar month during or following the Acceptance Date (the "Base
Date").
4. Rental. Interim Rent shall be due Lessor for each day in the Interim Term
and shall equal the daily equivalent of the initial Base Rent. Interim
Rent shall be payable on the Base Date.
Base Rent shall be payable in
Seventy-eight (78) consecutive monthly installments of $3,902.82 each, the
first Base Rent installment being payable on the Base Date and the remaining
Base Rent installments being payable on the 5th day of each succeeding month.
5. Stipulated Loss Value. After Lessor's receipt of notice of the
occurrence of any Total Loss or other relevant event relating to any Unit,
Lessor shall calculate the Stipulated Loss Value for such Unit and give Lessee
notice thereof. Such "Stipulated Loss Value", as of any particular
date, shall be the product obtained by multiplying the Lessor's Cost for the
Unit in question by the percentage, as set forth in the "Schedule of
Stipulated Loss Values" attached as Annex I, specified opposite the
rent installment number (or date) becoming due immediately after the date
Lessee gives or is required to give Lessor notice requiring payment of the
Stipulated Loss Value. If only a portion of the Units is affected by any
event causing calculation of Stipulated Loss Value, and the cost of such portion
cannot be readily determined from the Lessor's Cost set forth above, then the
Lessor's Cost for such portion shall be as reasonably calculated by Lessor, and
notified to Lessee.
6. Tax
Matters. Lessee represents, warrants and agrees that (a) the Units qualify
under asset guideline class 99 and constitute "7-year
property" within the meaning of Section 168 of the Code; (b) the Lessor is
the owner of the Units and is entitled to annual accelerated cost recovery
deductions for each Unit as provided by Section 168(a) of the Code; (c) the
Lessee and all direct or indirect assignees and sublessees of Lessee shall
treat this Lease as a "true lease" for income tax purposes and will
not claim any depreciation or other tax attributes associated with ownership of
the Units; and (d) in any taxable year of Lessor, no deductions or losses
arising from this Lease will arise from sources without the United States under
Section 863 of the Code.

(c) The operation and maintenance of any Unit in the ordinary course by Lessee do not require the entry into any software or other intellectual property rights agreement with any licensor or other person, except as disclosed to Lessor in writing prior to the Acceptance Date.
9. Miscellaneous.
(a) Early Buy-Out.
If no event of Default exists, Lessee may purchase all, but not less than all,
Units subject to this Schedule as of the 66th scheduled Base Rent installment date
of the Base Term of each such Unit ( the "Early Buy-Out Date"), by
notice to Lessor not less than 180 days prior to the early Buy-Out Date.
On the Early Buy-Out Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the Base Rent installment
due, together with all other amounts then owing, plus an amount equal to
$49,287.44 plus any applicable taxes. Upon such payment, the obligation
of Lessee to pay rent hereunder with respect to the Units after the Early
Buy-Out Date shall cease, the lease term for the Units shall end on the
respective Early Buy-Out Date, and Lessor shall execute and deliver to Lessee a
quitclaim ▇▇▇▇ of sale for the Units.
(b) Extension;
Purchase. In lieu of Lessee's obligation to return the Units to Lessor upon
expiry of the Base Term, Lessee may, if no Event of Default exists, and
upon Lessee having provided to Lessor notice not less than 180 days prior to
such expiry, irrevocably elect to:
(i) extend the Base Term as to all and not less than all of the Units under this Schedule for a period to be agreed upon by Lessee and Lessor for an amount equal to the Units then fair market rental value as determined by Lessor. The fair market rental value shall be payable monthly by Lessee to Lessor on the first day of each month during the extension term, or
(ii) purchase all of Lessors right, title and interest in and to all, but not less than all, of the Units under this Schedule on an "as-is, where-is," quitclaim basis, for a purchase price equal to the then Fair Market Value of the Units. "Fair Market Value" shall mean an amount equal to the value of the Units that would be received in an arms-length transaction between an informed and willing buyer/user and an informed and willing seller under no compulsion to sell, as determined by mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee or, failing such agreement, by an independent, qualified appraiser selected by Lessor, with the cost of such appraisal to be borne by Lessee. Lessee shall pay Lessor the purchase price plus any applicable taxes on the expiration of the Base Term in immediately available funds.
If Lessee fails to provide notice of its election to either renew or purchase pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, respectively, at least 180 days before expiration of the Base Term, this Schedule and the Base Term shall, at the option of Lessor, renew for a period of three months at the same rental as was most recently payable during the Base Term or terminate upon expiration of the Base Term. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred in connection with any extension or purchase hereunder.
