Additional Equipment may be leased hereunder by the execution of additional Schedules by Lessor and Lessee and each such Schedule shall constitute a separate Lease of the Equipment described therein. Except as specifically modified in any Schedule, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall govern the rights and obligations of Lessee and Lessor with respect to the Equipment described in the Schedules. Whenever reference is made herein to "this Lease" or "the Lease" it shall be deemed to include all Schedules now or hereafter executed under this Lease.

Lessee agrees to pay Lessor monthly payments in an amount and for the term indicated in the Schedule(s) without reduction or set off for any reason, except as otherwise provided in this Lease. The first payment shall be due on the date stated in the Schedule(s). If Lessee fails to pay in full any rental payment, or any other sum required to be paid hereunder by Lessee, within ten (10) days of its due date, Lessor may, without declaring Lessee to be in default, charge Lessee an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such past due amounts or the maximum allowed by applicable state law. In addition, Lessor may collect from Lessee a charge of $25, or such lesser amount as may be limited by law, for each check, draft or similar instrument presented to Lessor that is returned or dishonored for any reason.
4.   FEES AND TAXES. Lessee agrees to pay when due all fees, sales and use taxes, duties, assessments, highway use taxes, or other taxes and charges, however designated, now or hereafter levied or based upon the purchase, rental, ownership, use, possession, leasing, operation, control, maintenance or sale of the Equipment, whether or not paid or payable by Lessor (excluding Lessor's net income, franchise and business and occupation taxes), and shall supply Lessor with proof of payment upon written demand therefor by Lessor.
5.   USE, INSPECTION AND ALTERATIONS. Lessee at its sole expense shall have the Equipment serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's approved maintenance schedules, ensure that maintenance records are available for review by Lessor at reasonable times and places and maintain the Equipment in good repair, appearance, functional order, and good lawful operating condition.

To ensure compliance with the foregoing, Lessor shall have the right, at any lime, to enter Lessee's premises or elsewhere to inspect the Equipment or to observe its use.

6.   INSURANCE. Lessee agrees to keep the Equipment continuously insured by an insurance company and with deductibles as specified by Lessor from time to time. At a minimum, Lessee must provide Lessor with proof of: (i) collision and comprehensive insurance coverage in an amount equal to the value of the Equipment and (ii) liability insurance for bodily injury or death and property damage in an amount as specified by Lessor. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with written proof of a paid policy and subsequent renewals, showing Lessor as loss payee and additional insured, which will require at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessor before such insurance may lapse, be reduced, canceled or terminated.

Should Lessee fail to purchase and maintain adequate insurance on the Equipment, as determined by Lessor, then Lessor may purchase such insurance as Lessor deems necessary to protect its interest. Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor for the cost of such insurance within ten (10) days of demand, and if Lessee fails to do so, then Lessor may charge a late fee in accordance with this Lease. All insurance policies financed under this Lease, unless a shorter period is specified in the policy, end upon the original due date of the last payment due under the applicable Schedule. If Lessee is due any insurance refund, Lessee must seek same from the insurance company. Lessor does not require Lessee to have credit life insurance. Lessee authorizes Lessor to release to third parlies any information necessary to facilitate insurance and tax monitoring and insurance placement.

Lessee hereby assumes all risk of loss, including theft or destruction, and the risk of damage to the Equipment, from any and every cause whatsoever, whether or not such loss is covered by insurance.

If the Equipment is damaged or destroyed in an accident or other occurrence or confiscated by any governmental authority or subjected to any lax lien or is stolen, abandoned or subjected to undue peril, Lessee will notify Lessor within ten (10) days of such occurrence or condition. If any item of Equipment is damaged and in a condition which Lessor believes may be reasonably repaired, Lessee shall repair the same to good working order. If the Equipment is damaged and in a condition which Lessor believes is beyond reasonable repair, or with respect to any other occurrence or condition set forth above, Lessor may terminate this Lease with respect to that Equipment immediately.
