hereunder, (c) is suitable for Lessee's purposes, (d) is in good order, repair
and condition, (e) has been installed and operates properly, and (f) is subject
to all of the terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, Section 2
hereof).
8. TERM; SURVIVAL. With respect to any Item of Equipment, unless otherwise
specified on an Equipment Schedule, the initial term of this Lease (the "Initial
Term") shall commence on the date on which such Item of Equipment is delivered

the Initial Term Expiration Date for such Item of Equipment. With respect to an
Item of Equipment, any renewal term of this Lease (individually, a "Renewal
Term"), as contemplated hereby, shah commence immediately upon the expiration of
the Initial Term or any prior Renewal Term, as the case may be, and, unless
earlier terminated as provided herein, shall expire on the date on which the
final payment of Rent is due and paid hereunder. Obligations of Lessee under the
lease relating to Rent and other payment obligations, tax indemnification,
general indemnification and return and maintenance of equipment, as applicable,
shall survive the expiration, cancellation or other termination of the Term
hereof.
9. RENT. Lessee shall pay the Rent set forth on the Equipment Schedule
commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, and, unless otherwise set forth on
such Equipment Schedule, on the same day of each payment period thereafter for
the balance of the Term. Rent shall be due whether or not Lessee has received
any notice that such payments are due. All Rent shall be paid to Lessor at its
address set forth on the Equipment Schedule, or as otherwise directed by Lessor
in writing.
10. LOCATION; INSPECTION; LABELS. The Equipment shall be delivered to the
Equipment Location and shall not be removed therefrom without Lessor's prior
written consent. Lessor shall have the right to enter upon the Equipment
Location and inspect the Equipment at any reasonable time. Lessor may, with
reasonable notice to Lessee, remove the Equipment if the Equipment is, in the
opinion of Lessor, being used beyond its capacity or is in any manner improperly
cared for, abused or misused. At Lessor's request, Lessee shall affix permanent
labels
Page 4 of 13
<PAGE> 5
indicating Lessor's interest in the Equipment in a prominent place on the
Equipment and shall keep such labels in good repair and condition.
11. USE; ALTERATIONS. Lessee shall use the Equipment lawfully and only in the
manner for which it was designed and intended and so as to subject it only to
ordinary wear and tear. Lessee shall comply with all Applicable Law. Lessee
shall immediately notify Lessor in writing of any existing or threatened
investigation, claim or action by any Governmental Authority in connection with
any Applicable Law or Governmental Action which could adversely affect the
Equipment or this Lease. Lessee, at its own expense, shall make such
alterations, additions or modifications or improvements (each, a "Required
Alteration") to the Equipment as may be required from time to time to meet the
requirements of Applicable Law or Governmental Action. All such Required
Alterations shall immediately, and without further act, be deemed to constitute
Items of Equipment and be fully subject to this Lease as if originally leased
hereunder, and shall be free and clear of all Liens. Except as otherwise
permitted herein, Lessee shall not make any alterations to the Equipment without
Lessor's prior written consent.
12. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. Lessee, at Lessee's own cost and expense, shall (a)
keep the Equipment in good repair, good operating condition and working order
and in compliance with the manufacturer's specifications and Lessee's standard
practices (but with respect to the latter, in no event less than industry
practices), and (b) to maintain, service and repair the Equipment as otherwise
required herein. Lessee, at its own cost and expense and within a reasonable
period of time, shall replace any part of any Item of Equipment that becomes
unfit or unavailable for use from any cause, with a replacement part of the same
manufacture, value, remaining useful life and utility as the replaced part
immediately preceding the replacement (assuming that such replaced part was in
the condition required by this Lease). Such replacement part shall immediately,
and without further act, be deemed to constitute an Item of Equipment and be
fully subject to this Lease as if originally leased hereunder, and shall be free
and clear of all Liens.
13. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT. Upon the expiration (subject to Section 32 hereof and
except as otherwise provided in an Equipment Schedule) or earlier termination of
this Lease, Lessee, at its sole expense, shall assemble and return the Equipment
to Lessor by delivering such Equipment F.A.S. or F.O.B. to such location or such
carrier (packed for shipping) as Lessor shall specify. Lessee agrees that the
Equipment, when returned, shall be in the condition required by Section 12
hereof. All components of the Equipment shall have been properly serviced,
following the manufacturer's written operating and servicing procedures, such
that the Equipment is eligible for a manufacturer's standard, full service
maintenance contract without Lessor's incurring any expense to repair or
rehabilitate the Equipment. If, in the opinion of Lessor, any Item of Equipment
fails to meet the standards set forth above, Lessee agrees to pay on demand all
costs and expenses incurred in connection with repairing such Item of Equipment
and restoring it so as to meet such standards. If Lessee fails to return any
Item of Equipment as required hereunder, then, all of Lessee's obligations under
this Lease (including, without limitation, Lessee's obligation to pay Rent for
such Item of Equipment at the rental then applicable under this Lease) shall
continue in full force and effect until such Item of Equipment shall have been
returned in the condition required hereunder.
14. EQUIPMENT UPGRADES/ATTACHMENTS. In addition to the requirements of Section
11 hereof, Lessee, at its own expense, may from time to time add or install
upgrades or attachments (each an "Upgrade") to the Equipment during the Term;
provided, that such Upgrades (a) are readily removable without causing material
damage to the Equipment, (b) do not materially adversely affect the Fair Market
Sale Value, the Fair Market Rental Value, residual value, productive capacity,
utility or remaining useful life of the Equipment, and (c) do not cause such
Equipment to become "limited use property" within the meaning of Revenue
Procedure 76-30, 1976-2 C.B. 647 (or such other successor tax provision), as of
the date of installation of such Upgrade. Any such Upgrades which can be removed
without causing damage to or adversely affecting the condition of the Equipment,
or reducing the Fair Market Sale Value, the Fair Market Rental Value, residual
value, productive capacity, utility or remaining useful life of the Equipment
shall remain the property of Lessee; and upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease and provided that no Event of Default exists, Lessee
may, at its option, remove any such Upgrades and, upon such removal, shall
restore the Equipment to the condition required hereunder.

15.SUBLEASE AND ASSIGNMENT. (a) WITHOUT LESSOR'S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT, LESSEE
SHALL NOT (1) ASSIGN, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATE OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF THIS
LEASE, THE EQUIPMENT OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN, OR (2) SUBLET OR LEND THE
EQUIPMENT TO, OR PERMIT THE EQUIPMENT TO BE USED BY, ANYONE OTHER THAN LESSEE.
(b) Lessor, at any time with or without notice to Lessee, may sell, transfer,
assign and/or grant a security interest, in all or any part of Lessor's interest
in this Lease, any Equipment Schedule or any Item of Equipment (each, a "Lessor
Transfer"), provided that no such Lessor Transfer will increase Lessee's burdens
or risks hereunder. In the event of a Lessor Transfer, any purchaser,
transferee, assignee or secured party (each a "Lessor Assignee") shall, from the
date of such Lessor Transfer, have all of Lessor's obligations hereunder and
shall have and may exercise all of Lessor's rights hereunder with respect to the
items to which any such Lessor Transfer relates, and LESSEE SHALL NOT ASSERT
AGAINST ANY SUCH LESSOR ASSIGNEE ANY DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM OR OFFSET THAT LESSEE
MAY HAVE AGAINST LESSOR ARISING FROM ANY ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF OR BY THE
LESSOR. Lessee acknowledges that no such sale, transfer, assignment and/or
security interest will change Lessee's duties hereunder or increase its burdens
or risks hereunder. Lessee agrees that upon written notice to Lessee of any such
sale, transfer, assignment and/or security interest, Lessee shall acknowledge
receipt thereof in writing and shall comply with the directions and demands of
any such Lessor Assignee.
16. RISK OF LOSS; DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. (a) Lessee shall bear the entire risk of
loss (including without limitation, theft, destruction, disappearance of or
damage to any and all Items of Equipment ("Loss") from any cause whatsoever),
whether or not insured against, during the Term hereof until the Equipment is
returned to Lessor in accordance with Section 13 hereof. No Loss shall relieve
Lessee of the obligation to pay Rent or of any other obligation under this
Lease.
(b) In the event of Loss to any Item of Equipment, Lessee shall
immediately notify Lessor of same, and at the option of Lessor, Lessee shall
within thirty (30) days following such Loss: (1) place such Item of Equipment in
good condition and repair, in accordance with the terms hereof; (2) replace such
Item of Equipment with replacement equipment (acceptable to Lessor) in as good
condition and repair, and with the same value, remaining useful economic life
and utility, as such replaced Item of Equipment immediately preceding the Loss
(assuming that such replaced Item of Equipment was in the condition required by
this Lease), which replacement equipment shall immediately, and without further
act, be deemed to constitute Items of Equipment and be fully subject to this
Lease as if originally leased hereunder and shall be free and clear of all
Liens; or (3) pay to Lessor the sum of (i) all Rent due and owing hereunder with
respect to such Item of Equipment (at the time of such payment) plus (ii) the
Stipulated Loss Value as of the Rent Payment Date next following the date of
such Loss with respect to such Item of Equipment. Upon Lessor's receipt of the
payment required under subsection (3) above, Lessee shall be entitled to
Lessor's interest in such Item of Equipment, in its then condition and location,
"as is" and "where is", without any warranties, express or implied and, as
applicable, Lessor will file all necessary UCC forms releasing its interest in
such Item of Equipment.
17. INSURANCE. (a) Lessee shall, at all times during the Term hereof (until the
Equipment shall have been received by Lessor) and at Lessee's own cost and
expense, maintain (1) insurance against all risks of physical loss or damage to
the Equipment (which shall include theft and collision for Equipment consisting
of motor vehicles, but shall not exclude loss resulting from flood or
earthquake) in an amount not less than the greater of the full replacement value
thereof or the Stipulated Loss Value thereof if applicable, and (2) commercial
general liability insurance (including blanket contractual liability coverage
and products liability coverage) for personal and bodily injury and property
damage in an amount satisfactory to Lessor.
(b) All insurance policies required hereunder shall (1) require thirty
(30) days' prior written notice of cancellation or material change in coverage
to Lessor (any such cancellation or change, as applicable, not being effective
until the thirtieth (30th) day after the giving of such notice); (2) name
"KeyCorp and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies, including Key Corporate

public liability policies and name Lessor as joint loss payee under the property
insurance policies related in any way to the Equipment leased hereunder; (3) not
require contributions from other policies held by Lessor; (4) waive any right of
subrogation against Lessor related in any way to the Equipment leased hereunder;
Page 6 of 13

the extent of any monies due Lessor under such policies; (6) not require that
Lessor pay or be liable for any premiums with respect to such insurance covered
thereby; (7) be in full force and effect throughout any geographical areas at
any time traversed by any Item of Equipment; and (8) contain breach of warranty
provisions providing that, in respect of the interests of Lessor in such
policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of
Lessee or any other person (other than Lessor) and shall insure Lessor
regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition
contained in such policies by Lessee or by any other person (other than Lessor).
Prior to the first date of delivery of any Item of Equipment hereunder, and
thereafter not less than 15 days prior to the expiration dates of the expiring

Lessor a certificate of insurance (or in the case of blanket policies,
certificates thereof issued by the insurers thereunder) for the insurance
maintained pursuant to this Section.

of any estimated taxes.
19. LESSOR'S RIGHT TO PERFORM FOR LESSEE. If Lessee fails to perform any of its

such obligations, and the amount of the reasonable costs and expenses of Lessor
incurred in connection with such performance, together with interest on such
amount at the Default Rate, shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand. No
such performance by Lessor shall be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies of

is, and shall at all times remain, personal property notwithstanding the fact
that any Item of Equipment may now be, or hereafter become, in any manner
affixed or attached to real property or any improvements thereon. Lessee shall
at all times keep the Equipment free and clear from all Liens. Lessee shall (a)
give Lessor immediate written notice of any such Lien, (b) promptly, at Lessee's

Guarantor's ability to perform its obligations hereunder; or (12) the death or

provided for herein or other damages resulting from the Equipment not being in
the condition required by Section 12 hereof, and otherwise in accordance with
all of the provisions of this Lease, except those provisions relating to periods
of notice; (6) enter upon the premises of Lessee or other premises where any
Item of Equipment may be located and, without notice to Lessee and with or
without legal process, take possession of and remove all or any such Items of
Equipment without liability to Lessor by reason of such entry or taking
possession, and without such action constituting a cancellation or termination

Lessor shall apply to or offset any amounts if received from the sale, rents,
lease or such Items of Equipment; (7) by written notice to Lessee specifying a
payment date (the "Remedy Date"), demand that Lessee pay to Lessor, and Lessee
shall pay to Lessor, on the Remedy Date, as liquidated damages for loss of a
bargain and not as a penalty, any unpaid Rent due prior to the Remedy Date plus
whichever of the following amounts Lessor, in its sole discretion, shall specify
in such notice (together with interest on such amount at the Default Rate from
the Remedy Date to the date of actual payment): (i) an amount, with respect to
an Item of Equipment, equal to the Rent payable for such Item of Equipment for
the remainder of the then current Term thereof, after discounting such Rent to

(after first deducting any Lessor Expense) up to the amount of the Stipulated
Loss Value; (8) cause Lessee, at its expense, to promptly assemble any and all
Items of Equipment and return the same to Lessor at such place located within
the United States as Lessor may designate in writing; and (9) exercise any other
right or remedy

available to Lessor under Applicable Law or proceed by appropriate court action
to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach hereof or to
rescind this Lease. In addition, Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise
provided above, for any and all unpaid Rent due hereunder before or during the
exercise of any of the foregoing remedies, and for reasonable legal fees and
other costs and expenses incurred by reason of the occurrence of any Event of
Default or the exercise of Lessor's remedies with respect thereto. If an Event
of Default occurs, Lessee hereby agrees that ten (10) days prior notice to
Lessee of (A) any public sale or (B) the time after which a private sale may be
negotiated shall be conclusively deemed reasonable and, to the extent permitted
by Applicable Law, Lessee waives all rights and defenses with respect to such
disposition of the Equipment and, Lessor shall apply to or offset any amounts
received from such sale. None of Lessor's rights or remedies hereunder are
intended to be exclusive of, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any
other right or remedy referred to hereunder or otherwise available to Lessor at
law or in equity, and no express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Event of
Default shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default or a waiver of
any of Lessor's rights.

Lessor and Lessee have heretofore entered into that certain Master
Equipment Lease Agreement dated as of November 28, 2000 (the "Master Lease"; the
Master Lease and this Schedule are hereinafter collectively referred to as, this
"Lease"). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall
have the meanings specified in the Master Lease. The Master Lease provides for
the execution and delivery of a Schedule substantially in the form hereof for
the purpose of confirming the acceptance and lease of the Equipment under this
Lease as and when this Lease is delivered by Lessor to Lessee in accordance with
the terms thereof and hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
sufficient consideration, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree as follows:
1. EQUIPMENT. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease,
Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor, the
equipment listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Equipment"). The aggregate
Total Cost of such Equipment is $499,030.24.
2. TERM. The Initial Term of this Lease with respect to the Equipment
described on this Schedule shall commence on the date on which Lessor disburses
funds to Lessee in the amount specified on this schedule, and, unless earlier
terminated as provided herein, shall expire on a date which is thirty six (36)
months after the Rent Commencement Date (the "Initial Term Expiration Date").
3. RENT PAYMENT DATES; RENT. Lessee hereby agrees to pay Rent for the
Equipment throughout the Initial Term in thirty six (36) consecutive monthly
installments payable in advance on the Rent Commencement Date and on the same

<PAGE> 15
(a) Dollar Purchase Option. With respect to the Equipment described on
this Schedule, Section 32 of the Master Lease ("Renewal and Purchase Options")
is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in its place:
On the Initial Term Expiration Date and so long as no Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor an amount equal to $1.00. Upon payment in full by Lessee of all
Rent (and all other sums) payable to Lessor hereunder, Lessor shall
promptly release its interest in the Equipment and, as applicable, by
filing all necessary UCC forms to affect such releases.
6. NATURE OF TRANSACTION; SECURITY AGREEMENT. (a) General. To secure
the prompt payment and performance as and when due of all obligations and
indebtedness of Lessee, now existing or hereafter created, to Lessor pursuant to
this Lease or otherwise, Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a security interest in
the Equipment and all accessions, substitutions and replacements thereto and
therefor, and proceeds (cash and non-cash), including, without limitation,
insurance proceeds thereof (but without power of sale). In furtherance of the
foregoing, Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor, to be filed at Lessee's
expense not to exceed ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS AND ZERO CENTS ($100.00), Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements, statements of amendment and statements of
continuation as reasonably may be required by Lessor to perfect and maintain
perfected the security interest granted by Lessee herein.
(b) Personal Property Tax. Lessee recognizes that, pursuant to Section
18 of the Master Lease, it is Lessee's responsibility to pay any property tax
bills. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that personal property tax policies vary
from state to state and that, where uncertainty exists as to a particular
state's policies, Lessee shall contact its attorneys or financial advisors (who
may be familiar with such state's personal property tax policy) for advice.
Unless otherwise directed in writing by Lessor or otherwise required by
Applicable Law, Lessee will list itself as owner of all Items of Equipment for
property tax purposes and will promptly pay all such taxes when due. In those
jurisdictions in which Lessor is required to list itself as owner of all such
Items of Equipment, upon receipt by Lessee of any property tax bill pertaining
to such Items of Equipment, Lessee will promptly forward to Lessor such property
tax bill and related payment. Upon receipt by Lessor of any such property tax
bill (whether from Lessee or directly from the taxing authority), Lessor will
pay such tax and will invoice Lessee for the expense if Lessee has not submitted
its payment with such bill. Upon receipt of said invoice (if any), Lessee shall
promptly reimburse Lessor for such expense.
(c) Disclaimer. LESSEE HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LESSOR HAS NOT MADE,
AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY ADVICE, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS,
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY LEGAL, ECONOMIC, ACCOUNTING,
TAX OR OTHER EFFECTS OF THE LEASE AND THE TRANSACTION(S) CONTEMPLATED THEREBY,
AND LESSEE HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY RELIANCE ON ANY SUCH WARRANTIES, STATEMENTS OR
REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY LESSOR WITH RESPECT THERETO.
7. STIPULATED LOSS VALUE; DISCOUNT RATE. (a) There are no Stipulated
Loss Values or Stipulated Loss Value Supplements applicable to the Equipment
described on this Schedule.
(b) Any provision of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, all
present value calculations to be made with respect to the Equipment described on
this Schedule shall be made using a discount rate equal to five percent (5%).
8. MODIFICATIONS TO MASTER LEASE. With respect to the Equipment
described on this Schedule, the Master Lease shall be modified as follows:
(a) Section 6 of the Master Lease ("Ordering Equipment") is hereby
deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in
its place:
Page 2 of 6
<PAGE> 16

Supplier and, if appropriate, has entered into a Purchase
Agreement with respect thereto, Lessor may accept an
assignment from Lessee of Lessee's rights, but none of
Lessee's obligations, under any such Purchase Agreement.
Lessee shall arrange for delivery of the Equipment so that it
can be accepted in accordance with Section 7 hereof. If an
Item of Equipment is subject to an existing Purchase Agreement
between Lessee and the Supplier, Lessee warrants that such
Item of Equipment has been delivered to Lessee as of the date
of the Equipment Schedule applicable thereto. If Lessee causes
the Equipment to be modified or altered, or requests any
additions thereto prior to the Rent Commencement Date, Lessee
(a) acknowledges that any such modification, alteration or
addition to an Item of Equipment may affect the Total Cost,
taxes, purchase and renewal options (if any), Stipulated Loss
Value and Rent with respect to such Item of Equipment, and (b)
hereby authorizes Lessor to adjust such Total Cost, taxes,
purchase and renewal options (if any), Stipulated Loss Value
and Rent as appropriate. Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to
complete each Equipment Schedule with the serial numbers and
other identification data of the Equipment Group associated
therewith, as such data is received by Lessor.
(b) Section 13 of the Master Lease is hereby deleted in its
entirety and the following is substituted in its place:

of Equipment, plus the Rent payable for such Item of Equipment
for the remainder of the Term, after discounting such Rent to
present worth on the basis of a per annum rate of discount
equal to five percent (5%) from the respective dates upon
which such Rent would have been paid had the Loss or Damage
not occurred.
(d) Section 17(a) of the Master Lease ("Insurance") is hereby
amended to delete subsection "(1)" and substitute the
following in its place:
insurance against all risks of physical loss or damage to the
Equipment (including theft and collision for Equipment
consisting of motor vehicles) in an amount not less than the
full replacement cost thereof.
(e) Section 17(b) of the Master Lease ("Insurance") is hereby
amended to delete subsection "(8)" and substitute the
following in its place:
Prior to the first date of delivery of any Item of Equipment
hereunder, and thereafter not less than 15 days prior to the
expiration dates of the expiring policies theretofore
delivered pursuant to this Section, Lessee shall deliver to
Lessor a certificate of insurance (or in the case of blanket
policies, certificates thereof issued by the insurers
thereunder) for the insurance maintained pursuant to this
Section.
(f) [RESERVED]
(g) Section 22(a) of the Master Lease ("Events of Default") is
hereby amended to delete subsection "(5)" and substitute the
following in its place:
Page 3 of 6
<PAGE> 17
Lessee or any Guarantor violates or fails to perform any
provision of either this Lease or any other loan, lease or
credit agreement or any acquisition or purchase agreement with
Lessor, its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates
(h) Section 22(b) of the Master Lease ("Events of Default") is
hereby amended to delete subsection "(7)" and substitute the
following in its place:
by written notice to Lessee specifying a payment date (the
"Remedy Date"), may demand that Lessee pay to Lessor, and
Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on the Remedy Date, as liquidated
damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty, any unpaid
Rent due prior to the Remedy Date plus the following amount
which Lessor shall specify in such notice (together with
interest on such amount at the Default Rate from the Remedy
Date to the date of actual payment): an amount, with respect
to an Item of Equipment, equal to the Rent payable for such
Item of Equipment for the remainder of the then current Term
thereof, after discounting such Rent to present worth as of
the Remedy Date on the basis of a per annum rate of discount
equal to five percent (5%) from the respective dates upon
which such Rent would have been paid had this Lease not been
canceled or terminated.
(i) Section 31(j) of the Master Lease is hereby deleted in its
entirety and the following is substituted in its place:
the Equipment is being leased hereunder solely for business
purposes and that no item of Equipment will be used for
personal, family or household purposes. Lessee allows its
employees from time to time to use those items of equipment
designated as laptop computers for limited personal use. This
in no way alters the Lessee's intent to consider such
equipment as being solely for business purposes; and
9. GOVERNING LAW. This Schedule is being delivered in the State of New
York and shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State of New York, including all matters of construction, validity and
performance without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of laws
provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction)
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
State of New York.
10. COUNTERPARTS. This Schedule may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each executed counterpart constituting an original but all
together one and the same instrument.
11. MORE THAN ONE LESSEE. If more than one person or entity
executes this Schedule, or any other Lease Documents executed
in connection herewith, as "Lessee," the obligations of
"Lessee" contained herein and therein shall be deemed joint
and several and all references to "Lessee" shall apply both
individually and jointly.
12. RELATIONSHIP TO MASTER LEASE; FURTHER ASSURANCES. This Schedule
shall be construed in connection with and as part of this Lease, and
all terms contained in the Master Lease are hereby incorporated herein
by reference with the same force and effect as if such terms were fully
stated herein. By execution of this Schedule, Lessee and Lessor
reaffirm all terms of the Master Lease except as they may be modified
hereby. To the extent that any of the terms of this Schedule are
contrary to or inconsistent with any terms of the Master Lease, the
terms of this Schedule shall govern. LESSEE HEREBY CERTIFIES TO LESSOR
THAT THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY LESSEE IN THE MASTER
LEASE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION 31 THEREOF) ARE TRUE AND
CORRECT IN ALL MATERIAL RESPECTS AS OF THE DATE OF THIS SCHEDULE WITH
THE SAME EFFECT AS THOUGH MADE ON AND AS OF SUCH DATE. Lessee, at
Lessor's expense shall

take such additional actions and execute and deliver such additional
documents as Lessor shall deem necessary from time to time to
effectuate the terms of this Lease.
