ORDERING PROCEDURE\n     ------------------\n\n     Lessee shall issue Orders (hereinafter defined as 'Orders') to Lessor on\nLessor's order form or Lessee's order form.  At a minimum, such Orders shall\ninclude the following information:\n\n     1.  Description of Equipment to be leased and Software to be licensed.\n\n     2.

COMMENCEMENT AND TERM OF ORDER\n     ------------------------------\n\n     An Order for an individual unit of Equipment or Software shall be binding\nfrom the date it is accepted by Lessor.  Monthly rental as to each unit of\nEquipment and Software shall commence fourteen (14) days after shipment\n(hereinafter referred to as the 'Commencement Date') and shall be set forth on\nthe initial lease invoice.  Monthly rental for a Custom System Order (as defined\nin Article XXVI), if applicable, shall commence thirty (30) days after shipment\n(hereinafter referred to as the\n\n                                      -2-\n\n \n'Commencement Date').

Either party must notify\nthe other in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to expiration of the lease\nterm of its decision to either renew the Order or terminate any or all of the\nEquipment and Software leased thereunder.  Without such notice, the Order shall\ncontinue at the same rate and under the same conditions until such sixty (60)\nday notice is given by either party.\n\n     Notwithstanding that the Order contemplates the lease term set forth on the\nface of the Order, it is agreed that if Lessee is a governmental entity and is\nfiscally funded, continuance of the Order for said term is dependent upon the\nannual legislative approval of funding.  Lessee agrees to utilize its best\nefforts to assure funding for the continuance of the Order; however, if fiscal\nfunding is denied, Lessee may terminate the Order by providing Lessor with\nwritten notice as outlined in this provision.\n\n     Upon termination by expiration or otherwise of each Order, Lessee shall, at\nLessee's expense, disconnect the Equipment or de-install the Software and allow\nLessor to enter Lessee's premises to pack and ship the Equipment and Software.\nSuch Equipment and Software returned to Lessor shall be in the same condition as\ndelivered by Lessor, reasonable wear and tear excepted and capable of meeting\nall recertification requirements.  If Lessor is not allowed to remove the\nEquipment and Software as noted within two (2) weeks after the effective date of\nLessee's notice of termination, such termination shall be void, and the lease\nshall continue in full force and effect until new notice is given followed by\nremoval of Equipment and Software in accordance with this paragraph on the\noriginal terms thereof or the terms of any renewal previously agreed upon by the\nLessor, as applicable.\n\nV.   CHARGES AND PAYMENT\n     -------------------\n\n     Lessee shall pay to Lessor, the monthly rate set forth on an Order during\neach month of the term of such Order.  The monthly lease rate shall be Lessor's\npublished rates which are in effect at the time that the Equipment or Software\nis ordered.  Payments are due monthly, in advance on the first day of each\ncalendar month.  The Equipment furnished hereunder may be new, remanufactured or\ncontain used components at Lessor's option.  If the Commencement Date of each\nunit of Equipment leased hereunder is other than the first day of a month, the\nfirst payment due hereunder shall be equal to one thirtieth of the monthly rate\nset forth on the Order for each day from and including the Commencement Date\nthrough and including the last day of the month prior to the beginning of the\nterm and the monthly rate for the full initial month.  Lessor reserves the right\nto impose a late payment charge of one and one-half percent (1 1\/2%) per month,\nbut not in excess of the lawful maximum, on any past due balance in the event\nLessee shall fail to pay any charges within fifteen (15) days after same are\ndue, and Lessee agrees to pay same.  If such rate exceeds the amount authorized\nby law in the jurisdiction in which the Equipment or Software is located,\ninterest shall be computed at the maximum legal rate at that location. Payments\nshall be made to the Lessor address stated on each invoice.  Charges for Lessor\nservices (such as standard handling, installation, engineering costs (if\napplicable) and training) shall also be at the\n\n                                      -3-\n\n \nprevailing rates at time of Order.  Any applicable taxes will be invoiced.  The\nEquipment and Software is to be leased for the term selected and is non-\ncancelable.\n\n     If a purchase order is required for payment, Lessee agrees to provide the\napplicable purchase order number(s) to Lessor.  If no purchase order is required\nfor payment, Lessee guarantees that payment will not be delayed.\n\nVI.

Lessor may\nsell, assign, grant a security interest or participation in all or any part of\nLessor's right, title or interest in and to this Agreement, any Order and the\nEquipment or Software without notice to Lessee, and Lessor's assignee or secured\nparty may then re-assign such interest without notice to Lessee.  Lessee agrees\nthat any purchase of all or substantially all of Lessee's assets, any merger or\nconsolidation into or with Lessee (regardless of whether Lessee is the surviving\nentity) or any entity acquiring twenty percent (20%) of Lessee's voting\nsecurities shall be deemed to be a transfer under this Agreement.  Lessee agrees\nthat any such assignment or re-assignment shall not change Lessee's duties or\nobligations under this Agreement or any Order and Lessee hereby consents to any\nsuch assignment or re-assignment.  Each such assignee and\/or secured party shall\nhave all the rights but none of the obligations of Lessor under such Order\nunless Lessee is otherwise notified by Lessor.  Lessee shall recognize such\nassignments and\/or security agreements and agrees that upon notice of such\nassignment it shall pay directly to assignee (unless otherwise directed by\nassignee) without abatement, deduction or set off all amounts which become due\nhereunder and further agrees that it will not assert against assignee any\ndefense, counterclaim or setoff off any reason whatsoever in any action for\nlease payments or possession brought by assignee.  Upon such assignment and\nexcept as may otherwise be provided therein, all references in this Agreement to\nLessor shall include assignee.\n\nVII. NETLEASE\n     --------\n\n     Lessee and Lessor acknowledge and agree that each Order constitutes a net\nlease with all costs, expenses and liability associated with the Equipment or\nSoftware or its Order to be borne by Lessee unless expressly agreed to the\ncontrary in writing by Lessor.  Lessee's obligations to pay all monthly rates\nand any and all amounts payable by Lessee under any Order shall be absolute and\nunconditional and shall not be subject to any abatement, reduction, set-off,\ndefense, counterclaim, interruption, deferment or recoupment for any reason\nwhatsoever and that such payments shall be and continue to be payable in all\nevents.  Without limiting the foregoing, no defect or unfitness of any item of\nEquipment or Software shall relieve Lessee of its obligations to make rental\npayments, pay any other sum when due or otherwise perform any other obligation\ndue to Lessor and its successors and assigns under this Agreement.  Nothing\ncontained herein shall affect Lessee's rights to bring an action against Lessor\nof any breach of Lessor's obligation hereunder.\n\n                                      -4-\n\n \nVIII.
