WITNESSETH:

 

Lessor and Lessee hereby agree as follows.

 

1. Lease of Computer Towers; Delivery; Term.

 

1.1. Lessor hereby leases Computer Towers (the “Towers”) to Lessee from the date of this Agreement to and including October 30, 2020. Lessee shall pay Lessor fifteen percent of the total value of the initial Towers which has a value of $583,440, such rent of $7,293 per month in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Lease. In the event that Lessee requires additional Towers, the monthly lease amount of each additional Tower shall be $7,293. The number of additional Towers required and the costs associated therewith shall be listed on an amendment to this Lease which shall be prepared annually on January 1.

 

1.2. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee will make all payments of rent and other amounts owing by it under this Lease to the SUNRAY TRUST at an address the Sunray Trust shall designate or in such other manner or at such other place as the Lessor notifies the Lessee.

 

1.3. The requirements set forth in §1.2 are conditions only to the obligation of Lessee to accept a Tower; they do not constitute warranties or covenants of any kind; and Lessor will not incur any liability whatsoever to Lessee if any of those requirements are not met regardless of the reason and regardless of whether Lessor or Lessee is aware that they are not met:--the provisions of § 3 (Lessor's Disclaimer of Warranties; Lessee's Obligations Unconditional) and of §8 (Lessee's Indemnity) being paramount and to govern in all cases.

 

1.4. If a Tower is not made available to Lessee in accordance with the requirements of this §1 and another Tower is not substituted therefor, then, and regardless of the reason for such unavailability or lack of substitution, that Tower shall be, and shall be deemed to be, deleted from this Lease; and the Lessor and the Lessee will have no rights, obligations or liabilities because of such failure.

 

2. Rent; Payments.

 

2.1. Lessee will pay Lessor the monthly rental for each Tower. The first rental payment for each Tower will be due November 1, 2006. Thereafter rent will be payable monthly in advance on the first day of each month. If a Tower for which the first rental payment has been made is deleted from this Lease and a replacement is not substituted therefor, Lessor will promptly refund to Lessee the amount of that payment.

 

2.2. If the Lease of a Tower ends on a day other than the last day of a month, then the rent for that month will be the pro rata portion of the monthly rental for the Tower for the portion of the month during which this Lease as to that Tower is in effect.

3. Lessor's Disclaimer of Warranty; Lessee's Obligations Unconditional.

 

3.1. LESSOR IS NOT THE MANUFACTURER OF THE COMPUTER COMPONENTS IN THE COMPUTER TOWERS. LESSOR HAS NOT MADE AND DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPUTER TOWERS, THEIR DESIGN, CONDITION, OPERATION, DURABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR MERCHANTABILITY. LESSEE IS FULLY FAMILIAR WITH TOWERS OF THIS KIND AND WILL, IF IT CHOOSES TO DO SO, INSPECT THE COMPUTER TOWERS PRIOR TO TAKING POSSESSION OF THEM. LESSEE ACCEPTS EACH TOWER OF WHICH IT TAKES POSSESSION “AS IS” WITH ANY AND ALL FAULTS. NO DEFECT IN OR UNFITNESS OF ANY TOWERS AND NO LOSS OR DAMAGE THERETO AND NO OTHER CONDITION OR CIRCUMSTANCE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE UNAVAILABILITY THEREOF FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER AFTER LESSEE TAKES POSSESSION, SHALL RELIEVE LESSEE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS LEASE OR RESULT IN THE ABATEMENT OR SUSPENSION OF ANY SUCH OBLIGATIONS, WHICH ARE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LESSOR SHALL INCUR NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER TO LESSEE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DEFECT IN OR CONDITION OF ANY TOWERS OR THE USE, OPERATION OR FUNCTIONING OF ANY TOWERS.

 

3.2. In addition to, and without limiting the provisions of §3.1, Lessee confirms that in entering into this Lease and accepting the Computer Towers (A) it has relied and will rely solely on (i) its knowledge and (ii) its inspection (to the extent it has chosen to do so) of the Computer Towers, and (B) it has not relied and will not rely on any promise, affirmation, description, or other statement by Lessor, all of which are superseded by this Lease.

 

3.3. Lessee shall make all payments under this Lease without set-off, counterclaim or defense.

 

4. Location of the Towers; Inspections. Lessee shall keep the Towers in Lessee's possession and control at such location as identified to Lessor in writing and the Towers may only be moved with the prior written consent of Lessor, which Lessor will not unreasonably withhold. Lessor may, at any time during normal business hours, enter the premises where the Towers are located and inspect the same.

 

5. Repairs; Maintenance; Use; Alterations. Lessee shall, at its expense, keep the Towers in good repair, condition and working order and furnish, at its expense, all labor, parts, materials and supplies required therefor. Lessee will maintain accurate and complete records of all repairs to and maintenance of the Towers; Lessee will furnish copies thereof to Lessor and will allow Lessor to inspect such records at any time during normal business hours. The Towers shall at all times be used solely for commercial or business purposes, and operated in a careful, safe and proper manner and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, ordinances and insurance requirements. Any modifications or additions to the Towers required by any governmental entity shall be promptly made by Lessee at its own expense.

 

All modifications or additions to or changes in the Towers shall belong to and immediately become the property of Lessor, without charge, and shall be returned to Lessor with the Towers upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease unless Lessor notifies Lessee to remove any of the same, in which case Lessee shall promptly do so at its expense without damaging the Towers or impairing their operation.

If the Towers are totally lost (including by theft) or destroyed or if it or they become a constructive, agreed or compromised total loss, Lessee shall promptly pay the Lessor the purchase price for the Towers under §16 for the month in which the payment is made (the “Termination Payment”); and until Lessee makes that payment to Lessor, Lessee shall continue to pay the rent under and in accordance with § 1.. Upon receipt of the Termination Payment and payment and performance by Lessee of all of its other obligations under this Lease, Lessor will transfer and assign to Lessee, without recourse, any remaining rights which Lessor has under such insurance and, to the extent permitted by the insurer in writing, any title and interest which the Lessor has in the Towers.
