Equipment, as estimated by a Lessor approved repair facility. Lessee shall promptly forward to lessor payment in the
amount of such estimated repair costs. At Lessor's option, Lessor may either retain such payments without making any
repairs to the Equipment or apply such amounts to the repair of the Equipment in accordance with such estimate. In
the event the actual cost of such repairs, as invoiced to Lessor by the repairing facility, shall exceed such estimated
cost, Lessee shall be obligated to pay such difference on receipt of an invoice for the entire cost for such repair.

the Replacement Value of the Equipment.

all loss, damage, costs and expenses which Lessor may sustain due to Lessee's failure to fulfill its obligations under this
section.
b. Lessee warrants that the Equipment Site is suitable for the Equipment and that Lessor's delivery vehicles and
Equipment shall have reasonable access to enter and operate safely to deliver and pick up the Equipment. Lessee
releases and agrees to hold harmless and defend Lessor against any and all claims for damages, costs, claims or
liabilities, both direct and indirect, to the roadways, grounds, building and personal property in or across the site
location, for any other claim associated with on-site delivery or pickup of the Equipment, or for any damages arising
from Lessee's failure to provide a suitable site for the Equipment. If Lessor's vehicles and Equipment cannot operate
safely to deliver the Equipment, or if at the time of delivery, the site is found to be an unsuitable location for the
Equipment, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor all delivery and pickup charges, all additional handling costs, and the
equivalent of two (2) month's rental charges as liquidated damages with respect to that portion of this Agreement which
Lessee is unable to perform.

taxes and any other fees or charges payable in respect to the premises upon which the Equipment may be placed or
kept. Upon demand, Lessee will produce to the Lessor the last receipts for all such payments. If Lessee defaults in the
foregoing obligations, Lessor may at its discretion make any or all of such payments and recover the amount thereof
from the Lessee as additional rent hereunder. If any lien attaches to the Equipment, by virtue of Lessee's failure to
comply with this provision, Lessee is obligated to immediately discharge such lien, and shall indemnify and hold Lessor
harmless from any loss or damage arising out of Lessee's failure to promptly discharge such liens.

connection with the use, occupancy, operation, possession, maintenance, location or premises upon which Equipment
may be situated, including, without limitation, obtaining all necessary planning consents, placards, licenses, permits, fire
and building approvals. Any failure by Lessee to comply with such laws, regulations or ordinances resulting in Lessee's
inability to perform under this Agreement will constitute a default by Lessee, and will subject Lessee to the costs and
penalties set forth in Paragraph 10 hereunder. Lessor shall have no responsibility for compliance with any such laws,
regulations or ordinances on Lessee's behalf.
e. The Lessee will promptly notify Lessor in writing of any change in Lessee's address from that specified on the face
of this Agreement.

equivalent to 100% of the Replacement Value of all Equipment leased hereunder, as stipulated on the face of this
Agreement, and third party liability insurance in an amount and on terms which are satisfactory to Lessor. At the request
of Lessor, insurance certificate to this effect shall be furnished to Lessor. Said insurance shall be maintained by Lessee

Equipment or create or allow to be created any lien on the Equipment. In the event of any breach of this provision by
Lessee, Lessee shall take all action necessary to have such charge, encumbrance or lien immediately removed and
discharged. If Lessee fails to perform its obligations under this section, Lessor may, at its discretion, pay mind to any

4
third party any sum necessary to procure the release of the Equipment from any charge, encumbrance, or lien and to
recover such sum from the Lessee forthwith without obligation on Lessor's part to question the reasonableness of the
charges assessed against the Equipment.
Lessee acknowledges and agrees that all of its rights under this agreement in and to the Equipment, including Lessee's
right to possession of the Equipment, are subordinate, junior and subject to the rights and claims of Assignee, its
successors and assigns, against the Equipment under any instrument, lease, mortgage or title retention or other
security agreement, whether now existing or hereafter created, including but not limited to the right of Assignee to take
possession of the Equipment. Lessee consents and agrees to the assignment to Assignee of all (i) monies due or to
become due to Lessor under the Lease and (ii) all rights and privileges of Lessor under the Agreement. Lessee
promises and agrees to settle all claims against Lessor directly with Lessor and hereby waives, relinquishes and
disclaims as to Assignee all counterclaims, rights of set-off, and defenses Lessee may have against Lessor, including
any right to withhold payment of or to refrain from paying, any monies that are due or to become due under the terms of
the Agreement, except that Lessee shall not be liable to Assignee for monies paid to Lessor in accordance with the
terms of the Agreement prior to the time Assignee notifies Lessee to pay Assignee directly. Thereafter, Lessee agrees
to pay directly to Assignee all monies owing under the Agreement. Lessee represents that, except as stated in the
Agreement, it has not prepaid any rentals or other monies owing under the Agreement, and no deposits have been
made. Lessee agrees and acknowledges that Assignee has not assumed and will not have any obligations or liabilities

Equipment other than as stated in the Agreement.
