Interim Rent: For the period from and including the Lease Commencement Date to but not including the Basic Term Commencement Date ("Interim Period"), Lessee shall pay as rent ("Interim Rent") for each unit of Equipment, the product of the Daily Lease Rate Factor times the Capitalized Lessor's Cost of such unit times the number of days in the Interim Period. Interim Rent shall be due on March 31, 2002. 11. Unadjusted Basic Term Rent. Commencing on April 1, 2002 and on the same day of each month thereafter (each, a "Rent Payment Date") during the Basic Term, Lessee shall pay as rent ("Unadjusted Basic Term Rent") as adjusted pursuant to Section B(15) below, the product of the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor times the Capitalized Lessor's Cost of all Equipment on this Schedule. 12. Base Index Rate: 1.74 13. Index Rate: A variable per annum interest rate ("Current Index") which, except for purposes of Section 17 hereof, shall be equal to a per annum interest rate as stated in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H. 15 (519) for 1-Month Commercial Paper under the column indicating an average monthly rate. The Current Index shall be the average monthly rate for the second calendar month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Adjustment Period commences. For purposes of Section 17 hereof, "Current Index" shall be a per annum interest rate as stated in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H. 15 (519) for U.S. Government Securities, Treasury Constant Maturities for a term that most closely approximates the remainder of the Basic Term as of the Rent Payment Date on which the first installment of fixed Rent calculated under Section 17 shall become due. If, for any reason whatsoever, the Current Index is not published, the Current Index, except for purposes of Section 179 hereof, shall instead be equal to the latest commercial paper rate for high grade unsecured notes of 30 days maturity sold through dealers by major corporations in multiples of $1,000, as indicated in the "MONEY RATES" column of the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, published on the first business day of the calendar month preceding the calendar month in which the rental payment being adjusted is due and payable and for purposes of Section 17 hereof, shall be equal to the simple average of all asked yields for Government Bonds and Notes with scheduled maturities that most closely approximates the remainder of the Basic Term as of the Rent Payment Date on which the first installment of fixed Rent calculated under Section 17 shall become due as indicated in the "Treasury Bonds, Notes & Bills" column of the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, published on the first business day of the calendar month preceding the calendar month in which the rental payment being adjusted is due and payable. 14. Adjustment Period: Shall mean a monthly period, the first of which shall commence on, and include, the third monthly anniversary of the Basic Term Commencement Date and continue to, but not include, the same date of the next succeeding calendar month. Each subsequent Adjustment Period shall commence on, and include, the date immediately following the expiration of the prior Adjustment Period and continue to, but not include, the same date of the next succeeding calendar month. If Lessee exercises its option pursuant to Section 17 hereof, "Adjustment Period" as used in Section 17 shall also mean the remainder of the Basic Term. 15. Calculation of the Unadjusted Basic Term Rent: The calculation of the Unadjusted Basic Term Rent (as defined below) is based on an assumption that the Index Rate in effect from time to time throughout the Basic Term would be equal to the Base Index Rate. 16. Adjustment for the Basic Term: From the Basic Term Commencement Date through and including June 1, 2002 (that date and the same date of each subsequent calendar month being a "Conversion Date"), Lessee shall pay as rent the Unadjusted Basic Term Rent (as defined above). From each Conversion Date through and including each date of payment, the Unadjusted Basic Term Rent (as defined below) shall be adjusted once each calendar month beginning with the Conversion Date applicable to that calendar month, and such adjustment shall be effective during the adjustment period ("Adjustment Period") as hereinafter defined. Each Adjustment Period shall commence at the close of business on the Conversion Date and shall continue through the same day of the next succeeding calendar month. The adjustment to the Unadjusted Basic Term Rent ("Adjustment Amount") shall be calculated by multiplying the respective Basis Point increase or decrease (rounded up to the nearest whole number of a basis point, when necessary) between the Base Index Rate and the Index Rate for each Adjustment Period by the applicable adjustment factor set forth on Exhibit I attached hereto and multiplying the product by a fraction equal to the Capitalized Lessor's Cost divided by one million. The resulting Adjustment Amount shall then be added or subtracted, as the case may be, to the Unadjusted Basic Term Rent. 17. Option to Fix Variable Rent. At any time from and after the first Adjustment Period, Lessee may, upon the giving of written notice to Lessor, deliver notice of Lessee's intention to elect to fix the monthly Rent for the remainder of the Basic Term. Within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, Lessor shall provide Lessee with a proposed Amendment to this Schedule that adjusts each percentage used to calculate the amount of the Purchase Option and Cancellation Option, respectively. If Lessee returns to Lessor a properly executed original of the Amendment, monthly Rent shall be fixed for the remainder of the Basic Term, commencing on the first Rent Payment Date occurring 30 days after Lessor's receipt of the executed Amendment. The fixed Rent shall be calculated by multiplying the respective basis point increase or decrease (rounded up to the nearest whole number of a basis point, when necessary) between the Current Index and the Base Index for each Adjustment Period times (ii) the applicable adjustment factor set forth in the attached table, times (iii) a fraction in respect of which the Capitalized Lessor's Cost is the numerator and one million is the denominator and the resulting amount shall then be added or subtracted, as the case may be, to the Fixed Rent. 18. Secondary Term Rent. Unless the Schedule has been earlier terminated as provided therein, commencing on October 1, 2004 (the "Secondary Term Commencement Date") and on the same day of each month thereafter (each, a "Rent Payment Date") for 30 months (the "Secondary Term"), Lessee shall pay as rent ("Secondary Term Rent") the product of 0.01841928 (the "Secondary Term Lease Rate Factor") times the Capitalized Lessor's Cost of all Equipment on this Schedule. C. TAX BENEFITS Depreciation Deductions: 1. Depreciation method is the -200% declining balance method, switching to straight line method for the 1st taxable year for which using the straight line method with respect to the adjusted basis as of the beginning of such year will yield a larger allowance. 2. Recovery Period: 5 YEARS. 3. Basis: 100% of Capitalized Lessors Cost. D. PROPERTY TAX APPLICABLE TO EQUIPMENT LOCATED IN IRVING, TX: Lessee agrees that it will not list any of such Equipment for property tax purposes or report any property tax assessed against such Equipment until otherwise directed in writing by Lessor. Upon receipt of any property tax bill pertaining to such Equipment from the appropriate taxing authority, Lessor will pay such tax and will invoice Lessee for the expense. Upon receipt of such invoice, Lessee will promptly reimburse Lessor for such expense. Lessor may notify Lessee (and Lessee agrees to follow such notification) regarding any changes in property tax reporting and payment responsibilities. E.

Initial: /s/ LN (a) If Lessee exercises its Purchase Option with respect to the Equipment leased hereunder, then on the Basic Term Expiration Date, and provided that no default has occurred and is continuing Under the Lease or any other agreement between Lessee and Lessor. Lessee shall pay to Lessor any Rent and other sums due and unpaid on the Basic Term Expiration Date and Lessee shall purchase the Equipment and pay the greater of (A) FIFTY-NINE AND 052/1000 percent (59.052%) of the Capitalized Lessor's Cost (plus all applicable sales taxes) or (B) the then Fair Market Value of the Equipment (plus all applicable sales taxes) by either: (i) financing the applicable Purchase Option plus all applicable sales taxes (collectively, the "Amount Financed") with Lessor at the fixed rate per annum simple interest set out below, payable in the number of installments set out below and on the terms set out in subsection (c) below: Number of Payments: 30 scheduled monthly installments, payable in arrears Fixed, per annum simple interest rate: SEVEN AND 88/100 percent (7.88%) (the "Purchase Option Financing Rate"), or (ii) paying cash to Lessor equal to the Amount Financed plus a prepayment premium equal to one percent (1%) of Purchase Option price.

The first such installment shall be due exactly one (1) month from the Purchase Option date and such installments shall continue on the same day of each month thereafter. All payments shall be applied first to interest and then to principal. The acceptance by Lessor of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of Lessor's right to receive payment in full at such time or at any subsequent time. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year. Each payment may, at the option of the Payee, be calculated and applied on an assumption that such payment would be made on its due date. It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with the applicable usury laws. Accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any provision contained herein require or permit interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be paid. If necessary to give effect to these provisions, Lessor will, at its option, in accordance with applicable law, either refund any amount to Lessee to the extent that it was in excess of that allowed by applicable law or credit such excess amount against the then unpaid principal. (c) SECURITY AGREEMENT. In the event Lessee exercises its Purchase Option and elects to purchase the Equipment by financing the Purchase Option price, then: (i) To secure payment of the Amount Financed and the interest thereon and any penalties, charges or attorneys' fees arising or incurred following default hereunder and to secure any and all other obligations of the Lessee to the Lessor, whether existing on or arising after the date of Lessee's exercise of its Purchase Option, Lessee hereby grants, assigns, transfers, pledges, conveys and mortgages to Lessor all of Lessee's interest in and to the Equipment and all attachments, accessions and additions thereto, substitutions and accessories therefor and replacements and proceeds (including insurance proceeds) thereof (all of which are referred to herein as the "Collateral") including Collateral added or arising after the Purchase Option date. The terms "Lessor" and "Lessee" have been used in this FAIR MARKET VALUE PURCHASE OPTION Section ("this Section") for consistency of reference. However, upon exercise of its Purchase Option, Lessee shall be a "debtor" and Lessor a "secured party" as those terms are used under the Uniform Commercial Code. This Agreement and the Schedule shall continue to be referred to as the "Lease". (ii) All provisions of this Lease shall survive and continue to remain in full force and effect until all indebtedness secured hereby is paid in full except the following Sections of the Lease: (i) TERM, RENT AND PAYMENT; (ii) RENT ADJUSTMENT; (iii) EARLY TERMINATION, and (iv) PURCHASE OPTION. (iii) Except for the security interest granted under this Section, LESSEE WARRANTS THAT THE COLLATERAL WILL REMAIN FREE AND CLEAR OF ALL LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES OF EVERY KIND, NATURE AND DESCRIPTION AND THAT LESSEE SHALL REMAIN THE SOLE AND LAWFUL OWNER AND IN POSSESSION OF THE COLLATERAL UNTIL ALL OBLIGATIONS OF LESSEE TO LESSOR HEREUNDER HAVE BEEN FULLY PERFORMED. Lessee will warrant and defend the Collateral against all claims by all persons. (iv) The STIPULATED LOSS VALUE Section subsection (i) of this Agreement is amended in its entirety to read: "the portion of the principal balance outstanding as of the Payment Date that is attributable to the affected unit based upon the Capitalized Lessor's Cost of such unit relative to the Capitalized Lessor's Cost of all the units of Equipment, plus all interest accrued on such portion as of the Payment Date. (v) Upon request of Lessor from time to time, Lessee shall do everything necessary or expedient to preserve and perfect the security interest granted herein and its priority, including without limitation obtaining and delivering to Lessor, if applicable: (A) a certificate of title showing the lien of Lessor with respect to the Collateral and/or (B) landlord and mortgagee waivers satisfactory to Lessor. Lessor is hereby granted power to sign Lessee's name and on behalf of Lessee to execute and file applications for title, transfer of title, financing statements, notices of lien and other documents pertaining to any or all of the Collateral. To the extent allowed by applicable law, Lessee waives all homestead and other property exemption laws. On and after Lessee's exercise of its Purchase Option, Lessor may at any reasonable time examine the books and records of the Lessee and make copies thereof.. (vi) Lessee acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Lease, and waives acceptance hereof. (vii) If any installment or other amount due under this Section is not paid within ten (10) days after its due date, Lessee agrees to pay a late charge of five cents ($.05) per dollar on, and in addition to, the amount of said installment, but not exceeding the maximum lawful charges. If (A) Lessee fails to make payment of any amount due pursuant to this Section within ten (10) days after the same becomes due and payable; or (B) Lessee is in default under, or fails to perform under any other term or condition contained in the Lease, then the entire principal sum remaining unpaid under this Section, together with all accrued interest thereon and any other sum payable under this Lease, at the election of Lessor, shall immediately become due and payable, with interest thereon at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate not prohibited by applicable law from the date of such accelerated maturity until paid (both before and after any judgment). Lessee may prepay in full (but not in part) its entire indebtedness under this Section, at any time upon the payment of all amounts due and a prepayment premium equal to one percent (1%) of the original Amount Financed. (viii) The provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of the Lease caused by Lessee's exercise of its Purchase Option. Lessor and any assignee of Lessor may assign its rights and interests, in whole or in part, under this Section. (3) CANCELLATION OPTION. Upon at least one hundred eighty (180) but not more than two hundred seventy (270) days written notice to Lessor prior to the Basic Term Expiration Date (the "Notice Date"), Lessee may cancel the Agreement (the "Cancellation Option") with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Equipment on this Schedule: provided that, Lessee shall concurrently exercise its Cancellation Option under Schedule 002 hereof and its Termination Option under account number ###-###-####-001. If all of the terms and conditions of this Section are not fulfilled, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Lessee shall continue to be liable for all obligations thereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to continue paying rent. Lessee shall be deemed to have waived this option if it fails to timely provide Lessor with the required written notice of its election to exercise the same. Initial: /s/ LN (a) Prior to the Basic Term Expiration Date, Lessee shall (i) pay to Lessor, as additional rent, FORTY-FOUR AND 43/100 percent (44.43%) of the Capitalized Lessor's Cost of the Equipment, plus all rent and all other sums due and unpaid as of the Basic Term Expiration Date (including, but not limited to, any rent payment due and payable on the Basic Term Expiration Date and any sales taxes and property taxes); and (ii) return the Equipment in full compliance with the RETURN OF EQUIPMENT Section of the Lease, such compliance being independently verified by an independent appraiser selected by Lessor (reasonably acceptable to Lessee) to determine that the Equipment is in such compliance, which determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Lessee shall bear all costs associated with such appraiser's determination and such costs, if any, to cause the Equipment to be in full compliance with the RETURN OF EQUIPMENT Section of the Lease on or prior to such Basic Term Expiration Date. (b) From the applicable Notice Date through the Basic Term Expiration Date, Lessee shall: (i) continue to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, including, but not limited to, Lessee's obligation to pay rent, and (ii) make the Equipment available to Lessor in such a manner as to allow Lessor to market and demonstrate the Equipment to potential purchasers or lessees from such premises at no cost to Lessor; provided, however, that, subject to Lessor's right to market and demonstrate the Equipment to potential purchasers or lessees from time to time, Lessee may still use the Equipment until the Basic Term Expiration Date. (c) Lessee shall, from the Basic Term Expiration Date through the earlier of the date the Equipment is sold by Lessor to a third party or thirty (30) days following the Basic Term Expiration Date, comply with the following terms and conditions: (i) continue to provide insurance for the Equipment, at Lessee's own expense, in compliance with the terms found in the INSURANCE Section of the Lease, and (ii) make the Equipment available to Lessor and/or allow Lessor to store the Equipment at Lessee's premises, in such a manner as to allow Lessor to market and demonstrate the Equipment to potential purchasers or lessees from such premises at no cost to Lessor. (d) The proceeds of any sale or re-lease of the Equipment after Lessee has exercised its Cancellation Option shall be for the sole benefit of Lessor and Lessee shall have no interest in nor any claim upon any of such proceeds. END OF SECONDARY TERM OPTIONS The PURCHASE OPTION Section subsection (a) of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted therefor: (a) So long as no default exists hereunder and the Lease has not been earlier terminated, Lessee may at the expiration of the Secondary Term upon at least one hundred eighty (180) days but not more than two hundred seventy (270) days written notice to Lessor prior to the end of the Secondary Term, purchase all (but not less than all) of the Equipment in this Schedule on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS, without recourse to or warranty from Lessor, express or implied ("AS IS BASIS") for cash equal to its then Fair Market Value (plus all applicable sales taxes).

Equipment immediately listed above is located at: 300 Decker Drive, Irving, Dallas County, TX 75062 B. FINANCIAL TERMS 1. Advance Rent (if any): NOT APPLICABLE 2. Capitalized Lessor's Cost: $1,876,744.72 3. Basic Term (No. of Months): 30 MONTHS 4. Basic Term Lease Rate Factor and Rental Number: 0.01762779 5. Basic Term Commencement Date: April 1, 2002 6. Lessee Federal Tax ID No.: 752893917 7. Last Delivery Date: April 1, 2002 8. Daily Lease Rate Factor: 0.00058759 9. First Termination Date: TWENTY-FOUR (24) months after the Basic Term Commencement Date. 10. Interim Rent: For the period from and including the Lease Commencement Date to but not including the Basic Term Commencement Date ("Interim Period"), Lessee shall pay as rent ("Interim Rent") for each unit of Equipment, the product of the Daily Lease Rate Factor times the Capitalized Lessor's Cost of such unit times the number of days in the Interim Period. Interim Rent shall be due on March 31, 2002. 11. Unadjusted Basic Term Rent. Commencing on April 1, 2002 and on the same day of each month thereafter (each, a "Rent Payment Date") during the Basic Term, Lessee shall pay as rent ("Unadjusted Basic Term Rent") as adjusted pursuant to Section B(15) below, the product of the Basic Term Lease Rate Factor times the Capitalized Lessor's Cost of all Equipment on this Schedule. 12. Base Index Rate: 1.74 13. Index Rate: A variable per annum interest rate ("Current Index") which, except for purposes of Section 17 hereof, shall be equal to a per annum interest rate as stated in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) for 1-Month Commercial Paper under the column indicating an average monthly rate. The Current Index shall be the average monthly rate for the second calendar month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Adjustment Period commences. For purposes of Section 17 hereof, "Current Index" shall be a per annum interest rate as stated in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) for U.S. Government Securities, Treasury Constant Maturities for a term that most closely approximates the remainder of the Basic Term as of the Rent Payment Date on which the first installment of fixed Rent calculated under Section 17 shall become due. If, for any reason whatsoever, the Current Index is not published, the Current Index, except for purposes of Section 179 hereof, shall instead be equal to the latest commercial paper rate for high grade unsecured notes of 30 days maturity sold through dealers by major corporations in multiples of $1,000, as indicated in the "MONEY RATES" column of the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, published on the first business day of the calendar month preceding the calendar month in which the rental payment being adjusted is due and payable and, for purposes of Section 17 hereof, shall be equal to the simple average of all asked yields for Government Bonds and Notes with scheduled maturities that most closely approximates the remainder of the Basic Term as of the Rent Payment Date on which the first installment of fixed Rent calculated under Section 17 shall become due, as indicated in the "Treasury Bonds, Notes & Bills" column of the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, published on the first business day of the calendar month preceding the calendar month in which the rental payment being adjusted is due and payable. 14. Adjustment Period: Shall mean a monthly period, the first of which shall commence on, and include, the third monthly anniversary of the Basic Term Commencement Date and continue to, but not include, the same date of the next succeeding calendar month. Each subsequent Adjustment Period shall commence on, and include, the date immediately following the expiration of the prior Adjustment Period and continue to, but not include, the same date of the next succeeding calendar month. If Lessee exercises its option pursuant to Section 17 hereof, "Adjustment Period" as used in Section 17 shall also mean the remainder of the Basic Term. 15. Calculation of the Unadjusted Basic Term Rent: The calculation of the Unadjusted Basic Term Rent (as defined below) is based on an assumption that the Index Rate in effect from time to time throughout the Basic Term would be equal to the Base Index Rate. 16. Adjustment for the Basic Term: From the Basic Term Commencement Date through and including June 1, 2002 (that date and the same date of each subsequent calendar month being a "Conversion Date"), Lessee shall pay as rent the Unadjusted Basic Term Rent (as defined above). From each Conversion Date through and including each date of payment, the Unadjusted Basic Term Rent (as defined below) shall be adjusted once each calendar month beginning with the Conversion Date applicable to that calendar month, and such adjustment shall be effective during the adjustment period ("Adjustment Period") as hereinafter defined. Each Adjustment Period shall commence at the close of business on the Conversion Date and shall continue through the same day of the next succeeding calendar month. The adjustment to the Unadjusted Basic Term Rent ("Adjustment Amount") shall be calculated by multiplying the respective Basis Point increase or decrease (rounded up to the nearest whole number of a basis point, when necessary) between the Base Index Rate and the Index Rate for each Adjustment Period by the applicable adjustment factor set forth on Exhibit 1 attached hereto and multiplying the product by a fraction equal to the Capitalized Lessor's Cost divided by one million. The resulting Adjustment Amount shall then be added or subtracted, as the case may be, to the Unadjusted Basic Term Rent. 17. Option to Fix Variable Rent. At any time from and after the first Adjustment Period, Lessee may, upon the giving of written notice to Lessor, deliver notice of Lessee's intention to elect to fix the monthly Rent for the remainder of the Basic Term. Within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, Lessor shall provide Lessee with a proposed Amendment to this Schedule that adjusts each percentage used to calculate the amount of the Purchase Option and Cancellation Option, respectively. If Lessee returns to Lessor a properly executed original of the Amendment, monthly Rent shall be fixed for the remainder of the Basic Term, commencing on the first Rent Payment Date occurring 30 days after Lessor's receipt of the executed Amendment. The fixed Rent shall be calculated by multiplying the respective basis point increase or decrease (rounded up to the nearest whole number of a basis point, when necessary) between the Current Index and the Base Index for each Adjustment Period times (ii) the applicable adjustment factor set forth in the attached table, times (iii) a fraction in respect of which the Capitalized Lessor's Cost is the numerator and one million is the denominator and the resulting amount shall then be added or subtracted, as the case may be, to the Fixed Rent. 18. Secondary Term Rent. Unless the Schedule has been earlier terminated as provided therein, commencing on October 1, 2004 (the "Secondary Term Commencement Date") and on the same day of each month thereafter (each, a "Rent Payment Date") for 30 months (the "Secondary Term"), Lessee shall pay as rent ("Secondary Term Rent") the product of 0.01762779 (the "Secondary Term Lease Rate Factor") times the Capitalized Lessor's Cost of all Equipment on this Schedule. C. TAX BENEFITS Depreciation Deductions: 1. Depreciation method is the 200% declining balance method, switching to straight line method for the 1st taxable year for which using the straight line method with respect to the adjusted basis as of the beginning of such year will yield a larger allowance. 2. Recovery Period: 7 YEARS. 3. Basis: 100% of Capitalized Lessors Cost. D. PROPERTY TAX APPLICABLE TO EQUIPMENT LOCATED IN IRVING, TX: Lessee agrees that it will not list any of such Equipment for property tax purposes or report any property tax assessed against such Equipment until otherwise directed in writing by Lessor. Upon receipt of any property tax bill pertaining to such Equipment from the appropriate taxing authority, Lessor will pay such tax and will invoice Lessee for the expense. Upon receipt of such invoice, Lessee will promptly reimburse Lessor for such expense. Lessor may notify Lessee (and Lessee agrees to follow such notification) regarding any changes in property tax reporting and payment responsibilities. E. ARTICLE 2A NOTICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF ARTICLE 2A OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AS ADOPTED IN THE APPLICABLE STATE, LESSOR HEREBY MAKES THE FOLLOWING DISCLOSURES TO LESSEE PRIOR TO EXECUTION OF THE LEASE, (A) THE PERSON(S) SUPPLYING THE EQUIPMENT IS TXU COMMUNICATIONS VENTURES COMPANY (THE "SUPPLIER(S)"), (B) LESSEE IS ENTITLED TO THE PROMISES AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THOSE OF ANY THIRD PARTY, PROVIDED TO THE LESSOR BY SUPPLIER(S), WHICH IS SUPPLYING THE EQUIPMENT IN CONNECTION WITH OR AS PART OF THE CONTRACT BY WHICH LESSOR ACQUIRED THE EQUIPMENT AND (C) WITH RESPECT TO SUCH EQUIPMENT, LESSEE MAY COMMUNICATE WITH SUPPLIER(S) AND RECEIVE AN ACCURATE AND COMPLETE STATEMENT OF SUCH PROMISES AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF THEM OR OF REMEDIES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CONFERRED UPON A LESSEE IN ARTICLE 2A AND ANY RIGHTS NOW OR HEREAFTER CONFERRED BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE WHICH MAY LIMIT OR MODIFY ANY OF LESSOR'S RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THE DEFAULT AND REMEDIES SECTION OF THE AGREEMENT.

LEASE TERM OPTIONS END OF BASIC TERM OPTIONS At the expiration of the Basic Term (the "Basic Term Expiration Date"), so long as no default has occurred and is continuing hereunder and this Agreement has not been earlier terminated. Lessee shall exercise one of the following options: (1) EXTENSION OPTION. Lessee may extend the Lease beyond the Basic Term Expiration Date with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Equipment covered by this Schedule through the Secondary Term set forth in this Schedule and Lessee shall pay Secondary Term Rent as set forth in this Schedule. (2) PURCHASE OPTION. Upon at least one hundred eighty (180) but not more than two hundred seventy (270) days written notice to Lessor prior to the Basic Term Expiration Date, Lessee may purchase all (but not less than all) of the Equipment covered by this Schedule on an AS IS BASIS for cash equal to the greater of (A) SIXTY-TWO AND 006/1000 percent (62.006%) of the Capitalized Lessor's Cost (plus all applicable sales taxes) or (B) the then Fair Market Value (as such term is defined in the PURCHASE OPTION Section subsection (b) of the Lease hereof) of the Equipment (plus all applicable sales taxes); provided that, Lessee shall concurrently exercise its Purchase Option under account number ###-###-####-001. On the Basic Term Expiration Date, Lessor shall receive in cash the full purchase price (plus all applicable sales taxes) together with any rent or other sums then due under the Lease on such date. Lessee shall be deemed to have waived its purchase option if it fails to (a) timely provide Lessor with the required written notice of its election to exercise the same or (b) provide Lessor with written notice of its irrevocable election to exercise the same within fifteen (15) days after Fair Market Value is determined (by agreement or appraisal). Initial: /s/ LN (a) If Lessee exercises its Purchase Option with respect to the Equipment leased hereunder, then on the Basic Term Expiration Date, and provided that no default has occurred and is continuing under the Lease or any other agreement between Lessee and Lessor, Lessee shall pay to Lessor any Rent and other sums due and unpaid on the Basic Term Expiration Date and Lessee shall purchase the Equipment and pay the greater of (A) SIXTY-TWO AND 006/1000 percent (62.006%) of the Capitalized Lessor's Cost (plus all applicable sales taxes) or (B) the then Fair Market Value of the Equipment (plus all applicable sales taxes) by either: (i) financing the applicable Purchase Option plus all applicable sales taxes (collectively, the "Amount Financed") with Lessor at the fixed rate per annum simple interest set out below, payable in the number of installments set out below and on the terms set out in subsection (c) below: Number of Payments: 30 scheduled monthly installments, payable in arrears Fixed, per annum simple interest rate: SEVEN AND 88/100 (7.88%) percent (the "Purchase Option Financing Rate"), or (ii) paying cash to Lessor equal to the Amount Financed plus a prepayment premium equal to one percent (1%) of Purchase Option price. (b) If Lessee elects to purchase the Equipment by financing the Amount Financed, THE AMOUNT FINANCED SHALL BE PAID TO LESSOR. TOGETHER WITH INTEREST THEREON AT THE PURCHASE OPTION FINANCING RATE SET FORTH ABOVE IN CONSECUTIVE EQUAL MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST, EXCEPT THAT THE FINAL INSTALLMENT SHALL BE EQUAL TO THE TOTAL OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST THEN DUE AND UNPAID. The first such installment shall be due exactly one (1) month from the Purchase Option date and such installments shall continue on the same day of each month thereafter. All payments shall be applied first to interest and then to principal. The acceptance by Lessor of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of Lessor's right to receive payment in full at such time or at any subsequent time. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year. Each payment may, at the option of the Payee, be calculated and applied on an assumption that such payment would be made on its due date. It is the intension of the parties hereto to comply with the applicable usury laws. Accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any provision contained herein require or permit interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be paid. If necessary to give effect to these provisions, Lessor will, at its option, in accordance with applicable law, either refund any amount to Lessee to the extent that it was in excess of that allowed by applicable law or credit such excess amount against the then unpaid principal. (c) SECURITY AGREEMENT. In the event Lessee exercises its Purchase Option and elects to purchase the Equipment by financing the Purchase Option price, then: (i) To secure payment of the Amount Financed and the interest thereon and any penalties, charges or attorneys' fees arising or incurred following default hereunder and to secure any and all other obligations of the Lessee to the Lessor, whether existing on or arising after the date of Lessee's exercise of its Purchase Option, Lessee hereby grants, assigns, transfers, pledges, conveys and mortgages to Lessor all of Lessee's interest in and to the Equipment and all attachments, accessions and additions thereto, substitutions and accessories therefor and replacements and proceeds (including insurance proceeds) thereof (all of which are referred to herein as the "Collateral") including Collateral added or arising after the Purchase Option date. The terms "Lessor" and "Lessee" have been used in this FAIR MARKET VALUE PURCHASE OPTION Section ("this Section") for consistency of reference. However, upon exercise of its Purchase Option, Lessee shall be a "debtor" and Lessor a "secured party" as those terms are used under the Uniform Commercial Code. This Agreement and the Schedule shall continue to be referred to as the "Lease". (ii) All provisions of this Lease shall survive and continue to remain in full force and effect until all indebtedness secured hereby is paid in full except the following Sections of the Lease: (i) TERM, RENT AND PAYMENT; (ii) RENT ADJUSTMENT: (iii) EARLY TERMINATION, and (iv) PURCHASE OPTION. (iii) Except for the security interest granted under this Section, LESSEE WARRANTS THAT THE COLLATERAL WILL REMAIN FREE AND CLEAR OF ALL LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES OF EVERY KIND, NATURE AND DESCRIPTION AND THAT LESSEE SHALL REMAIN THE SOLE AND LAWFUL OWNER AND IN POSSESSION OF THE COLLATERAL UNTIL ALL OBLIGATIONS OF LESSEE TO LESSOR HEREUNDER HAVE BEEN FULLY PERFORMED. Lessee will warrant and defend the Collateral against all claims by all persons. (iv) The STIPULATED LOSS VALUE Section subsection (i) of this Agreement is amended in its entirety to read: "the portion of the principal balance outstanding as of the Payment Date that is attributable to the affected unit based upon the Capitalized Lessor's Cost of such unit relative to the Capitalized Lessor's Cost of all the units of Equipment, plus all interest accrued on such portion as of the Payment Date. (v) Upon request of Lessor from time to time, Lessee shall do everything necessary or expedient to preserve and perfect the security interest granted herein and its priority, including without limitation obtaining and delivering to Lessor, if applicable: (A) a certificate of title showing the lien of Lessor with respect to the Collateral and/or (B) landlord and mortgagee waivers satisfactory to Lessor. Lessor is hereby granted power to sign Lessee's name and on behalf of Lessee to execute and file applications for title, transfer of title, financing statements, notices of lien and other documents pertaining to any or all of the Collateral. To the extent allowed by applicable law, Lessee waives all homestead and other property exemption laws. On and after Lessee's exercise of its Purchase Option, Lessor may at any reasonable time examine the books and records of the Lessee and make copies thereof.. (vi) Lessee acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Lease, and waives acceptance hereof. (vii) If any installment or other amount due under this Section is not paid within ten (10) days after its due date, Lessee agrees to pay a late charge of five cents ($.05) per dollar on, and in addition to, the amount of said installment, but not exceeding the maximum lawful charges. If (A) Lessee fails to make payment of any amount due pursuant to this Section within ten (10) days after the same becomes due and payable; or (B) Lessee is in default under, or fails to perform under any other term or condition contained in the Lease, then the entire principal sum remaining unpaid under this Section, together with all accrued interest thereon and any other sum payable under this Lease, at the election of Lessor, shall immediately become due and payable, with interest thereon at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate not prohibited by applicable law from the date of such accelerated maturity until paid (both before and after any judgment). Lessee may prepay in full (but not in part) its entire indebtedness under this Section, at any time upon the payment of all amounts due and a prepayment premium equal to one percent (1%) of the original Amount Financed. (viii) The provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of the Lease caused by Lessee's exercise of its Purchase Option. Lessor and any assignee of Lessor may assign its rights and interests, in whole or in part, under this Section. (3) CANCELLATION OPTION. Upon at least one hundred eighty (180) but not more than two hundred seventy (270) days written notice to Lessor prior to the Basic Term Expiration Date (the "Notice Date"), Lessee may cancel the Agreement (the "Cancellation Option") with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Equipment on this Schedule: provided that, Lessee shall concurrently exercise its Cancellation Option under Schedule 001 hereof and its Termination Option under account number ###-###-####-001. If all of the terms and conditions of this Section are not fulfilled, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Lessee shall continue to be liable for all obligations thereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to continue paying rent. Lessee shall be deemed to have waived this option if it fails to timely provide Lessor with the required written notice of its election to exercise the same. Initial: /s/ LN (a) Prior to the Basic Term Expiration Date, Lessee shall (i) pay to Lessor, as additional rent. FORTY-SEVEN AND 327/1000 percent (47.327%) of the Capitalized Lessor's Cost of the Equipment, plus all rent and all other sums due and unpaid as of the Basic Term Expiration Date (including, but not limited to, any rent payment due and payable on the Basic Term Expiration Date and any sales taxes and property taxes); and (ii) return the Equipment in full compliance with the RETURN OF EQUIPMENT Section of the Lease, such compliance being independently verified by an independent appraiser selected by Lessor (reasonably acceptable to Lessee) to determine that the Equipment is in such compliance, which determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Lessee shall bear all costs associated with such appraiser's determination and such costs, if any, to cause the Equipment to be in full compliance with the RETURN OF EQUIPMENT Section of the Lease on or prior to such Basic Term Expiration Date. (b) From the applicable Notice Date through the Basic Term Expiration Date, Lessee shall: (i) continue to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, including, but not limited to, Lessee's obligation to pay rent, and (ii) make the equipment available to Lessor in such a manner as to allow Lessor to market and demonstrate the Equipment to potential purchasers or lessees from such premises at no cost to Lessor; provided, however, that, subject to Lessor's right to market and demonstrate the Equipment to potential purchasers or lessees from time to time, Lessee may still use the Equipment until the Basic Term Expiration Date. (c) Lessee shall, from the Basic Term Expiration Date through the earlier of the date the Equipment is sold by Lessor to a third party or thirty (30) days following the Basic Term Expiration Date, comply with the following terms and conditions: (i) continue to provide insurance for the Equipment, at Lessee's own expense, in compliance with the terms found in the INSURANCE Section of the Lease, and (ii) make the Equipment available to Lessor and/or allow Lessor to store the Equipment at Lessee's premises, in such a manner as to allow Lessor to market and demonstrate the Equipment to potential purchasers or lessees from such premises at no cost to Lessor. (d) The proceeds of any sale or re-lease of the Equipment after Lessee has exercised its Cancellation Option shall be for the sole benefit of Lessor and Lessee shall have no interest in nor any claim upon any of such proceeds. END OF SECONDARY TERM OPTIONS The PURCHASE OPTION Section subsection (a) of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted therefor: (a) So long as no default exists hereunder and the Lease has not been earlier terminated, Lessee may at the expiration of the Secondary Term upon at least one hundred eighty (180) days but not more than two hundred seventy (270) days written notice to Lessor prior to the end of the Secondary Term, purchase all (but not less than all) of the Equipment in this Schedule on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS, without recourse to or warranty from Lessor, express or implied ("AS IS BASIS") for cash equal to its then Fair Market Value (plus all applicable sales taxes).
