The \"Lessee\" is the business entity indicated on the signature \nline below.  Any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of Lessee may enter into a \nLease and\/or Financing Transaction (each as defined below) under this Agreement \nby signing a Term Lease Supplement (\"Supplement\") referencing this Agreement \nand so will be bound to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as Lessee. \nFor the purposes of this Agreement, \"Parent\" shall mean a business entity that \nowns or controls a majority interest of Lessee: \"Subsidiary\" shall mean a \nbusiness entity a majority interest of which is owned or controlled by Lessee: \nand \"Affiliate\" shall mean a business entity under common majority control with \nLessee. A Lease or Financing Transaction under this Agreement shall be \neffective when a Supplement listing equipment to be leased (\"Equipment\") and \nsoftware program licenses, maintenance, services, and other one-time charges to \nbe financed (\"Financed Items\") is signed by both parties. Equipment includes \nany internal programming that is integral to the Equipment's functioning \n(\"Licensed Internal Code\"). Lessee may acquire Equipment and Financed items \nfrom IBM, Lessor, or any other manufacturer, vendor or provider (\"Lessee's \nSupplier\").  The terms of (a) the Supplement; (b) any applicable attachments: \nand (c) this Agreement: each as may be amended by addenda, shall constitute the \nlease for the Equipment (\"Lease\") and Financing Transaction for the Financed \nItems (\"Financing Transaction\") listed in the applicable Supplement.  Some \nLeases or Financing Transactions may have additional terms that will be \nspecified in attachments or addenda. Terms in a Supplement and related \nattachments or addenda will apply only to the Lease and\/or Financing \nTransaction represented by that Supplement. The headings of the Paragraphs are \ninserted for convenience only.\n\n1. OPTIONS.  Each Supplement shall constitute a single Lease and\/or Financing \nTransaction but for each line item listed there will be a Lease or Financing \nTransaction option indicated.

Lessor may, with at least three (3) months prior written \nnotice to Lessee, change the terms of this Agreement. Such changes will apply \nonly to Leases and Financing Transactions that begin after the effective date \nspecified in the notice, and only if Lessee does not notify Lessor that it does \nnot agree to the changes.\n\n5. SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. Lessor's and Lessee's obligations under this \nAgreement, which by their nature would continue beyond the expiration or \ntermination of a Lease or Financing Transaction, will survive the expiration or \ntermination of a Lease or Financing Transaction.\n\n6. SELECTION AND USE OF EQUIPMENT, PROGRAMMING AND LICENSED PROGRAM MATERIALS. \nLessee agrees that it did not rely on the Lessor, nor is the Lessor \nresponsible, for the selection, use of, and results obtained from the Equipment \nor Financed Items. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit any rights \nLessee may have with respect to Lessee's Supplier or the Equipment manufacturer.\n\n7. ASSIGNMENT TO LESSOR.  Lessee assigns to Lessor, effective upon Lessor \nsigning the Supplement, its right to purchase from and its obligation to pay \nits Supplier. All other rights and obligations as defined in the agreement \nbetween Lessee and Lessee's Supplier governing the purchase of the Equipment \n(\"Purchase Agreement\") shall remain with Lessee. Lessee represents that it has \nreviewed and approved the Purchase Agreement. Lessor will not modify or rescind \nthe Purchase Agreement.\n\n8. LEASE NOT CANCELLABLE; LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE.

Lessor represents and warrants that neither Lessor, nor anyone acting or\nclaiming through Lessor, by assignment or otherwise, will interfere with\nLessee's quiet enjoyment of the Equipment so long as no event of default by\nLessee or anyone acting or claiming through Lessee shall have occurred and be\ncontinuing. During the Term of the Lease, Lessor assigns to Lessee all the\nrights that Lessor may have to be defended by Lessee's Supplier and\/or by the\nEquipment manufacturer under any patent and copyright provisions in the Purchase\nAgreement. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED ABOVE, LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS\nOR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE\nIMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. AS TO\nLESSOR, LESSEE LEASES THE EQUIPMENT AND TAKES ANY FINANCED ITEM \"AS IS\". IN NO\nEVENT SHALL LESSOR HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR, NOR SHALL LESSEE HAVE ANY REMEDY\nAGAINST LESSOR FOR, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR SAVINGS, LOSS\nOF USE, OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL LOSS. This shall in no way affect Lessee's\nrights and remedies against Lessee's Supplier and\/or the Equipment manufacturer.\n     10. LESSEE AUTHORIZATION. Lessee is authorized to act on Lessor's behalf \nconcerning delivery and installation of the Equipment and any warranty service \nfor the Equipment, including any programming services. Lessor represents and \nwarrants that it has the right to grant the authorization and rights to Lessee \nreferred to in this Paragraph.\n     11. DELIVERY AND INSTALLATION. Lessee is responsible for the delivery, \ninstallation and acceptance of the Equipment and any Financed Item and shall \npay any delivery and installation charges not paid by Lessee's Supplier. Lessor \nshall not be liable for any delay in, or failure of, delivery of the Equipment \nor Financed Items unless provided by Lessor.\n     12. USED EQUIPMENT LEASES. For used Equipment supplied by Lessor, the \nfollowing provisions apply: The Equipment is subject to prior disposition at \nany time prior to Lessor's acceptance of a signed Supplement. The Equipment is \nprovided \"as is\", without any warranty whatsoever by Lessor, in accordance with \nParagraph 9. However, provided that the Equipment is unmodified since the date \nof delivery; has been manufactured and assembled by or for IBM; and has been \ninstalled and maintained by IBM, Lessor guarantees Lessee's satisfaction with \nthe quality of the Equipment for three (3) months following the \"Release Date\" \nindicated on the face of the Supplement. If Lessee is dissatisfied with the \nEquipment for any reason, Lessee may notify Lessor within three (3) months of \nthe Release Date and, at Lessor's option, the Equipment will either be (a) \nreplaced with equivalent Equipment or (b) returned to Lessor and the Lease \nterminated and any Rent payments made to Lessor refunded to Lessee. If Lessee \ncancels its commitment to Lease the Equipment after Lessor signs the applicable \nSupplement but before the Equipment is delivered and accepted by Lessee, then \nLessee shall be liable to Lessor for three (3) months Rent as liquidated \ndamages. Lessor shall bear the risk of loss or damage to the Equipment during \ntransit from the pick-up location to Lessee's location, provided the Equipment \nis transported by a carrier designated by Lessor.\n     13.

LEASE TERM. The Lease or Financing Transaction shall be effective when \nthe Supplement is signed by both parties. The Initial Term of the Lease or \nFinancing Transaction shall begin on the Rent Commencement Date and shall \nexpire at the end of the number of months specified as \"Term\" in the Supplement.\nExcept for Equipment supplied by Lessor, if Lessee cancels its order with \nLessee's Supplier prior to installation or discontinues any Financed Item prior \nto the date Lessor makes funds available, the Lease or Financing Transaction \nwith respect to that item shall terminate without penalty.\n     15. RATE PROTECTION. The Rates stated on the Supplement are not subject to \nchange provided the Supplement is signed and returned to Lessor by the date \nindicated on the Supplement and the Equipment is installed by the end of the \nmonth of the Estimated Commencement Date stated on the Supplement.\n     16. RENT. During the initial Term, Lessor shall invoice and Lessee shall \npay Rent for each Payment Period as specified in the Supplement. Lessee's \nobligation to pay shall begin on the Rent Commencement Date. When the Rent \nCommencement Date is not on the first day of a calendar month and\/or when the \ninitial Term does not expire on the last day of a calendar month, the \napplicable Rent for the first and last payment will be prorated on the basis \nof 30-day months.\n     17. RENEWAL. Lessee may, upon at least one (1) month prior written notice \nto Lessor, renew the Lease with respect to any line item of Equipment, provided \nLessee is not then in default. Lessor shall offer a renewal Term of one (1) \nyear but may, if requested, offer different renewal Terms. For Equipment line \nitems with a fair market value end-of-Lease renewal option, the renewal Rent \nshall be the projected fair market rental value of the Equipment as of the \ncommencement of such renewal Term. For Equipment line items with a prestated \nend-of-Lease renewal option, the renewal Rent shall be one-half of the \nprestated Purchase Percent multiplied by the Unit Purchase Price stated in the \nSupplement and such renewal Rent payments will be annual and payable in advance.\n     18. PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT. Lessee may, upon at least one (1) month prior \nwritten notice to Lessor, purchase any line item of Equipment upon expiration \nof the Lease provided Lessee in not then in default. For Equipment line items \nwith a fair market value end-of-Lease purchase option, the purchase price shall \nbe the projected fair market sales value of the Equipment as of such expiration \ndate. For Equipment line items with a prestated purchase option, the purchase \nprice shall be specified in the Supplement. If the Lessee purchases any \nEquipment, Lessee shall, on or before the date of purchase, pay (a) the \npurchase price, (b) any applicable taxes, (c) all Rent due through the day \npreceding the date of purchase, and (d) any other amounts due under the Lease. \nLessor shall, on the date of purchase, transfer to Lessee by bill of sale \nprovided upon Lessee's request, without recourse or warranty of any kind, \nexpress or implied, all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to such \nEquipment on an \"AS IS, WHERE IS\" basis, except that Lessor shall warrant title \nfree and clear of all liens and encumbrances created by or through Lessor.\n     19. OPTIONAL EXTENSION. If, at the expiration of the Term, Lessee has not \nelected to renew the Lease, purchase or return the Equipment in accordance with \nParagraph 25, and as long as Lessee is not in default under the Lease, the \nLease will be extended for each unreturned item of Equipment unless (a) Lessee \nnotifies Lessor in writing, not less than one (1) month prior to Lease \nexpiration, that Lessee does not want the extension, or (b) the Equipment is \nreturned to and received by Lessor within fourteen (14) days after the \nexpiration of the Term. The extension will be under the same terms and \nconditions then in effect, including current Rent (but for Equipment line items \nwith a fair market value purchase option, not less than fair market rental \nvalue as determined by Lessor at the expiration of the Term) and will continue \non a day-to-day basis until the earlier of termination by either party upon one \n(1) month prior written notice, or six (6) years after expiration of the \ninitial Term. For purposes of this Paragraph, current Rent shall be calculated \nas the sum of the Lease payments over the initial Term divided by the Initial \nTerm of the Lease.\n     20. INSPECTION; MARKING; FINANCING STATEMENT. Upon reasonable advance \nrequest, Lessee agrees to allow Lessor to inspect the Equipment and its \nmaintenance records during Lessee's normal business hours, subject to Lessee's \nreasonable security procedures, Lessee will affix to the Equipment any \nidentifying labels supplied by Lessor indicating ownership. The filing of any \nUniform Commercial Code financing statements in connection with a Lease or \nFinancing Transaction shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the \napplicable Supplement and any Supplement addendum.\n     21. EQUIPMENT USE. Lessee agrees that Equipment will be used for business\npurposes and not primarily for personal, family or household purposes and that\nit will be used in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.\n     22. MAINTENANCE. Lessee shall, at its expense, on its own or through third \nparties, keep the Equipment in a suitable environment as specified by the \nEquipment manufacturer, and in good condition and working order, ordinary wear \nand tear excepted.\n     23. ALTERATIONS; MODIFICATIONS; PARTS. For the purposes of this Agreement, \na \"Part\" is any component or element of the Equipment; a \"Modification\" is any \nupgrade, feature or other change to the Equipment which is or has been offered \nfor sale by the Equipment manufacturer and which contains no Part which has \nbeen changed or altered since its original manufacture; an \"Alteration\" is any \nchange to the Equipment which is not a Modification. Lessee may modify or alter \nthe Equipment only upon prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee may obtain new \nor used Alterations or Modifications from any supplier and may finance them \nwith sources other than Lessor provided no security interest is created that \nencumbers or conflicts with Lessor's ownership of the Equipment. Any \nLessor-owned Parts that Lessee removes shall remain Lessor's property and \nLessee shall not make such Parts available for sale, transfer, exchange or \nother disposition without Lessor's prior written consent.\n     Before returning the Equipment to Lessor, Lessee agrees to remove any \nAlteration and may remove any Modification not owned by Lessor. If removed, \nLessee agrees to, at its expense, restore the Equipment to its original \ncondition using the removed Parts, normal wear and tear excepted. If Lessor had \npreviously consented to the disposition of removed Parts, the restoration must \nbe with Parts Lessor owns or supplies, or those supplied by a source approved \nby Lessor. If not removed, such Modifications shall become the property of \nLessor, without charge, free of any liens or encumbrances.\n\n                                  Page 2 of 4\n   3\n     Changes or additions made to items of Equipment in connection with \nMaintenance or warranty services, including engineering changes, utilizing \nmanufacturer's genuine parts, are exempt from the terms of this paragraph, and \nany Parts installed in connection with such services shall become the property \nof Lessor.\n     24. LEASES FOR MODIFICATIONS. At Lessee's request, and subject to\nsatisfactory credit review, Lessor will lease or finance new Modifications, used\nModifications from Lessor's inventory, and Financed items associated with the\nModifications. Leases for Modifications will be at then current terms and\nconditions and must be coterminous with the underlying Equipment Lease.\n     25. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT. Lessee will return the Equipment to Lessor upon\nexpiration or termination of the Lease. Upon return, the equipment must be in\ngood condition and working order, normal wear and tear excepted and qualified \nfor the manufacturer's maintenance service, if available. Lessee will return \nthe Equipment to the nearest IBM Credit consolidation and refurbishment center\nfor that type of equipment located in the contiguous United States. Unless \notherwise agreed, Lessee is responsible for: a) deinstallation, packing and \nreturn of the Equipment and any associated costs; and b) any cost to qualify the\nEquipment for the manufacturer's maintenance service, or, if not available, the \ncost to return the Equipment to good working condition. The return of the \nEquipment shall constitute a full release by Lessee of any leasehold rights or \npossessory interest in the Equipment.\n     26. CASUALTY INSURANCE; LOSS OR DAMAGE. Lessor will maintain, at its own \nexpense, insurance covering loss of or damage to the equipment (excluding any \nModifications or Alterations not subject to a lease under this Agreement) with \na $5,000 deductible per occurrence. If any item of Equipment shall be lost, \nstolen, destroyed or irreparably damaged for any cause whatsoever (\"Casualty \nLoss\") before the Rent Commencement Date, the Lease with respect to that item \nshall terminate. If any item of Equipment suffers Casualty Loss, or shall \nbe otherwise damaged on or after the Rent Commencement Date, Lessee shall \npromptly inform Lessor. To claim a Casualty Loss Lessee must file a police or \nfire department report or other appropriate documentation substantiating the \nCasualty Loss. If Lessor determines that the item can be economically repaired, \nLessee shall place the item in good condition and working order and Lessor will \npromptly reimburse Lessee the reasonable cost of such repair, less the \ndeductible. If not so repairable, Lessee shall pay Lessor the lesser of $5,000 \nor the fair market sales value of the Equipment immediately prior to the \nCasualty Loss. Upon Lessor's receipt of payment the Lease with respect to that \nitem shall terminate and Lessee's obligation to pay Rent for the Equipment will \nbe deemed to have ceased as of the date of the Casualty Loss. For purposes of \nthis Paragraph, Lessor will consider the manufacturer's charge for such repair \nto be the reasonable cost of repair.\n     27. TAXES. Lessee shall promptly reimburse Lessor, as additional Rent, for \nall taxes, charges, and fees levied by any governmental body or agency upon or \nin connection with this Agreement, excluding, however, all taxes on or measured \nby the net income of Lessor.\n     28. LESSOR'S PAYMENT. If Lessee fails to pay taxes as required under this \nAgreement, discharge any liens or encumbrances on the Equipment (other than \nthose created by or through Lessor), or otherwise fails to perform any other \nprovision Lessee is required to perform under this Agreement, Lessor shall have \nthe right to act in Lessee's stead so as to protect Lessor's interests, in \nwhich case, Lessee shall pay Lessor the cost thereof.\n     29. TAX INDEMNIFICATION. Solely for Leases entered into on the basis that \nLessor is the owner of the Equipment for tax purposes, Lessor and Lessee agree \nthat Lessor shall be entitled to certain federal and state tax benefits \navailable to an owner of Equipment, including, under the Internal Revenue Code \nof 1988, as amended (the \"Code\"), the maximum Modified Accelerated Cost \nRecovery System deductions for 5-year property and deductions for interest \nexpense incurred to finance the purchase of the Equipment (\"Tax Benefits\"). \nLessee represents and warrants that (a) at no time will Lessee take or omit to \ntake any action which would result in a loss, reduction, disallowance, recapture\nor other unavailability (\"Loss\") to Lessor (or the consolidated group with \nwhich Lessor files tax returns) of the Tax Benefits, and (b) Lessee will take \nno position inconsistent with the assumption that Lessor is the owner of the \nEquipment for federal income tax purposes. Upon Lessor's written notice to \nLessee that a Loss of Tax Benefits has occurred, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor \nan amount that shall make Lessor's after-tax rate of return and cash flows \n(\"Financial Returns\") over the Term of the Lease equal to the expected \nFinancial Returns that would have been otherwise available. Lessee shall have \nno obligation to reimburse Lessor for a Loss of Tax Benefits resulting from (i) \na determination that a Lease does not constitute a true lease for federal \nincome tax purposes, provided such determination is not the result of an act of \ntax purposes, provided such determination is not the result of an act of \nLessee, or (ii) a change in the tax law after the applicable Rent Commencement \nDate.\n     30. GENERAL INDEMNITY. Each Lease under this Agreement is a net lease. \nLessee indemnifies Lessor against any third party claims whatsoever which arise \nin connection with this Agreement or Lessee's possession and use of the \nEquipment or a Financed Item hereunder including all related reasonable costs \nand expenses, and legal fees incurred by Lessor. Lessee shall not be liable for \nany claim resulting from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor. \nLessee agrees that upon written notice by Lessor of the assertion of any claim, \nLessee shall assume full responsibility for the defense of such claim. Lessor \nshall cooperate as may be reasonably required in such defense. \n     31. LIABILITY INSURANCE. Lessee shall obtain and maintain commercial \ngeneral liability insurance, in the amount of at least $1,000,000 or more for \neach occurrence, with an Insurer having a \"Best Policyholders\" rating of B+ or \nbetter. The policy shall name Lessor as an additional insured as Lessor's \ninterests may appear and shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give \nLessor at least one (1) month prior written notice of the cancellation, or any \nmaterial alteration in the terms of the policy. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor, \nupon request, evidence that such insurance coverage is in effect. \n     32. SUBLEASE AND RELOCATION OF EQUIPMENT; ASSIGNMENT BY LESSEE. Upon one\n(1) month prior written notice to Lessor, Lessee may relocate the Equipment to\nanother of its business locations provided that Lessee remains the end user of\nthe Equipment. Any other relocation requires Lessor's prior written consent.\nUpon Lessor's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld,\nLessee may sublease the Equipment to another end user. No sublease or relocation\nshall relieve Lessee of its obligations under the Lease and Lessee will be\nresponsible for all costs and expenses associated with any relocation or\nsublease of the Equipment, including additional taxes or any Tax Loss incurred\nby Lessor. In no event shall Lessee remove or allow the Equipment to be removed\nfrom the United States. LESSEE SHALL NOT ASSIGN, TRANSFER OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE\nOF ANY LEASE OR FINANCING TRANSACTION, ANY EQUIPMENT, OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN,\nOR CREATE OR SUFFER ANY LEVY, LIEN OR ENCUMBRANCE THEREOF EXCEPT THOSE CREATED\nBY OR THROUGH LESSOR.\n     33. ASSIGNMENT BY LESSOR. Lessee acknowledges and understands that the \nterms and conditions of the Leases and Financing Transactions have been fixed \nto enable Lessor to sell and assign its interest or grant a security interest \nor interests in the Leases and Financing Transactions and the Equipment, \nindividually or together, in whole or in part, for the purpose of securing \nloans to Lessor or otherwise. Lessee shall not assert against any such assignee \nany setoff, defense or counterclaim that Lessee may have against Lessor or any \nother person. Lessor shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder as a \nresult of any such assignment unless Lessee expressly consents thereto, nor \nshall any rights or obligations of Lessee by changed except as described herein.\n     34. FINANCING. Any one-time charge (indicated on the Supplement as the \n\"Amount Financed\") for a Financed Item will be paid by Lessor to Lessee's \nSupplier or directly to Lessee. Any other charges which may be owed or due to \nLessee's Supplier shall be paid directly to Lessee's Supplier by Lessee. \nLessee's obligation to pay Rent for the Financed Item shall not be affected by \nany discontinuance, return or destruction of any Financed Item on or after the \ndate Lessor makes funds available. If Lessee discontinues any of the Financed \nItems in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement with Lessee's \nSupplier prior to the date Lessor makes funds available, then the Financing \nTransaction with respect to the affected one-time charge shall be cancelled.\n     35. FINANCING PREPAYMENT (DOES NOT APPLY FOR ITEMS OR EQUIPMENT). Lessee \nmay terminate a Financing Transaction (but not a Lease with respect to an item \nof Equipment) by prepaying its remaining Rent. Lessee shall provide Lessor with \nat least one (1) month prior written notice of the intended prepayment date. \nLessor may, depending on market conditions at the time, reduce the remaining \nRent to reflect such prepayment and shall advise the Lessee of the balance to \nbe paid. If prior to Lease expiration, Lessee shall at the same time prepay any \nrelated line items of Financing Transactions.\n     36. DELINQUENT PAYMENTS.
