Require that you return the Equipment to us and in the event you fail to return the Equipment, enter upon the premises peaceably with or without legal process where the Equipment is located and repossess the Equipment.

In the event the Equipment is returned or repossessed by us and unless we have terminated the applicable Lease, we will sell or re-rent the Equipment to any persons with any terms we determine, at one or more public or private sales, with or without notice to you, and apply the net proceeds deducting the costs and expenses of such sale or re-rent, to your obligations with you remaining liable for any deficiency on the Leases and with any excess being retained by us.

This amount is payable in addition to all amounts payable by you as a result of the exercise of any other remedies. You agree that any delay or failure to enforce our rights under this Agreement or any Lease does not prevent us from enforcing any rights at a later time. 15. SECURITY DEPOSIT. We will retain any required security deposit to insure your performance of your obligations. Any security deposit is non-interest bearing. We may apply any security deposit to cure any default by you, in which event you will promptly restore any amount so applied. If you are not in default, any security deposit will be returned to you at the termination of a Lease. 16. LESSEE'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. You warrant and represent that the Equipment will be used for business purposes, and not for personal, family or household purposes.

Year 2000 issue shall mean the failure of computer systems to in any way utilize data and information due to the occurrence of the Year 2000 or the inclusion of dates on or after January 1, 2000. 17. UCC FILINGS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. You authorize us to file a financing statement with respect to the Equipment signed by us where permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code and grant us the right to sign such financing statement on your behalf. The filing of a financing statement is not to be construed as evidence that any security interest was intended to be created, but only to give public notice of our ownership of the Equipment. If a Lease is deemed at any time to be one intended as security then you grant us a security interest in the Equipment and the proceeds from the sale, rent or other disposition of the Equipment. For each Lease, you agree to pay us a fee of $49.50 plus 1/10th of one percent (1%) of the original Equipment cost in excess of $50,000.00 to reimburse our expenses for preparing this financing statement and other documentation costs.

WHEREAS, Lessor and the above described Lessee ("Lessee") have determined that it is to their mutual benefit to make certain additions to the above described Lease ("Lease"). NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, intending to be legally bound and pursuant to the Terms and Conditions of the Lease, it is hereby agreed as follows: 1. Lessee has selected both the Equipment and the Vendor and/or Manufacturer from whom Lessor covenants to purchase the Equipment at Lessee's request. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LESSOR HAS NO EXPERTISE OR SPECIAL FAMILIARITY ABOUT OR WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT AND/OR THE EQUIPMENT'S YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE OR YEAR 2000 CAPABILITIES. LESSEE AGREES THAT THE EQUIPMENT LEASED HEREUNDER IS LEASED "AS-IS" AND IS OF A SIZE, DESIGN AND CAPACITY SELECTED BY LESSEE AND THAT LESSEE IS SATISFIED THAT THE SAME IS SUITABLE FOR LESSEE'S PURPOSES, AND THAT LESSOR HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE SUITABILITY OR DURABILITY OF SAID EQUIPMENT FOR THE PURPOSES AND USES OF LESSEE, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT THERETO, INCLUDING YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE OR CAPABILITIES OR THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. LESSOR FURTHER DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY TO LESSEE OR THIRD PARTIES AS A RESULT OF YEAR 2000 NONCOMPLIANCE OR INCAPABILITY OR ANY DEFECTS, LATENT OR OTHERWISE, IN THE EQUIPMENT WHETHER ARISING FROM THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE. If the Equipment is not properly installed, does not operate as represented or warranted by the Vendor and/or Manufacturer, is not Year 2000 compliant and/or capable or is unsatisfactory for any reason, Lessee shall make any claim on account thereof solely against the Vendor and/or Manufacturer and shall, nevertheless, pay Lessor all Lease Payments under the Lease and shall not set up against Lessee's obligations any such claims as a defense, counterclaim, set-off or otherwise. So long as Lessee is not in breach or default of this Agreement or any Lease hereunder, Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee, solely for the purpose of making and prosecuting any such claim, any rights which Lessor may have against the Vendor and/or Manufacturer for breach of warranty or other representation respecting any item of the Equipment. All proceeds of any warranty recovery by Lessee from the Vendor and/or Manufacturer of any item of the Equipment shall first be used to repair, upgrade, make Year 2000 compliant or capable or replace the affected item. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER THE VENDOR NOR ANY SALES-PERSON, EMPLOYEE, REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF THE VENDOR AND/OR MANUFACTURER IS AN AGENT OR REPRESENTATIVE OF LESSOR, AND THAT NONE OF THE ABOVE IS AUTHORIZED TO WAIVE OR ALTER ANY TERM, PROVISION OR CONDITION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LEASE HEREUNDER, OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LEASE HEREUNDER OR THE EQUIPMENT LEASED HEREUNDER.
