2. TERM. This Agreement shall become effective when it is signed and

The amount of each Lease Payment is based on the supplier's best
estimate of the Equipment cost including (if applicable), any installation,
other related costs and estimated sales or use tax. The Lease Payments will be
adjusted proportionately upward or downward if the actual total cost of the
Equipment or taxes is more or less than the estimate. In that event, you

event our Lease rates increase after the date you sign a Lease and the Lease is
not accepted by us within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the Lease
rate increase, you authorize us to increase the Lease Payments to reflect the
Lease rate increase applicable to the Lease.
3. DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE. You are responsible, at your own cost, to
arrange for the delivery and installation of the Equipment (unless such costs
are included in the cost of the Equipment to us). You agree to accept the
Equipment when it is delivered and to sign the Equipment Acceptance supplied by
us.
4. USE, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, SUPPLIES AND WARRANTIES. You have selected
the Equipment and the supplier from whom we agree to purchase the Equipment at
your request. We are not the manufacturer of the Equipment and we are leasing

least $100,000 per person and $300,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and
$50,000 for property damage. We will be the sole named loss payee on the
property insurance and named as an additional insured on the public liability
insurance. You will pay all premiums for such insurance and must deliver proof

federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or a trustee, receiver or
liquidator will be appointed for it or a substantial part of its assets.
14. REMEDIES. We have the following remedies if a default should occur.
a. Upon written notice, declare the entire balance of the unpaid Lease Payments
for the full term of all Leases immediately due and payable, ▇▇▇ for and receive
all Lease Payments and any other payments then accrued or accelerated under all
Leases or any other agreement plus the estimated fair market value of the
Equipment at the end of the originally scheduled term of all Leases, and all
accelerated Lease Payments and the estimated fair market value of the Equipment
will be discounted to the date of the default at six percent (6%) per year, but
only to the extent permitted by law: b. Charge you interest on all monies due us
at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per year from the date of default until
paid, but in no event more than the maximum rate permitted by law; c. Charge you
a return-check or non-sufficient funds charge ("NSF Charge") to reimburse us for
the time and expense incurred with respect to a check that is returned for any
reason including non-sufficient or uncollected funds, such NSF Charge is
stipulated and liquidated at $25.00; and d. 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. Such return or repossession of the
Equipment will not constitute a termination of the applicable Lease unless we
expressly notify you in writing. 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. The credit for any sums to be received by us
from any such rental shall be discounted to the date of the agreement at six
percent (6%) per year.
You are also required to pay (i) all expenses incurred by us in
connection with the enforcement of any remedies, including all expenses of
repossessing, storing, shipping, repairing and selling the Equipment, and (ii)
reasonable attorneys' fees.
Whenever any Lease Payment is not made when due, you agree to pay us,
within one month, a late charge of five percent (5%) for each delayed payment,
with a minimum of $10.00 as compensation for our internal operating expenses
arising as a result of each delayed payment, but only to the extent permitted by
law. 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. You have conducted a review of yours and your
significant vendors' computer systems to identify those areas that could be
affected by the Year 2000 issue and have developed and implemented a plan to
resolve the issue and make your operations Year 2000 compliant prior to January
1, 2000 and you further represent and warrant that the Year 2000 issue and the
costs of resolving such issue will not materially adversely affect your
financial condition, business or operations prior to January 1, 2000. 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. If the Equipment is located in more than one
location, you agree to pay us an additional fee of $10.00 for each additional
filing required for each additional location. If we feel it is necessary, you
agree to submit financial statements (audited if available) on a quarterly
basis.
18. NOTICE. Written notices will be deemed to have been given when
delivered personally or deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to the recipient at its address above or at any other address
subsequently provided in writing.
19. UCC - ARTICLE 2A PROVISIONS. You agree that these Leases are Finance
Leases as that term is defined in Article 2A of the Uniform Commercial Code
("UCC"). You acknowledge that we have given you the name of the Supplier of the
Equipment for each Lease. We hereby notify you that you may have rights under
the contract with the Supplier and you may contact the Supplier for a
description of any rights or warranties that you may have under this supply
contract. You also waive any and all rights and remedies granted you under
Sections 2A-508 through 2A-522 of the UCC including, but not limited to: the
right to repudiate a Lease and reject the Equipment; the right to cancel a
Lease; the right to revoke acceptance of a Lease; the right to grant a security
interest in the Equipment in your possession and control for any reason; or the
right to recover damages for any breach of warranty.
20. CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement and all Leases were made in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (by us having countersigned them in Berwyn,
Pennsylvania); and they are to be performed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
by reason of the Lease Payments you are required to pay us in Pennsylvania. This
Agreement and all Leases shall in all respects be interpreted and all
transactions subject to this Agreement and all rights and liabilities of the
parties under this Agreement and all Leases shall be determined and governed as
to their validity, interpretation, enforcement and effect by the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania except for local filing requirements. You consent
to and agree that personal jurisdiction over You and subject matter jurisdiction
over the Equipment shall be with the Courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
or the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania solely at
our option with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any Lease. You
also agree to waive your right to a trial by jury.
21. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY; WAIVERS: This Agreement and all
Leases contain the entire agreement and understanding. No agreements or
understandings are binding on the parties unless set forth in writing and signed
by the parties. Any provision of this Agreement or any Lease which for any
reason may be held unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective without invalidating the remaining provisions of
this Agreement and the Leases.

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. Lessee further
acknowledges and agrees that Lessee, in executing this Agreement and each Lease
hereunder, has relied solely upon the terms, provisions and conditions contained
herein and therein, and any other statements, warranties or representations, if
any, by the Vendor and/or Manufacturer, or any salesperson, employee,
representative or agent of the Vendor and/or Manufacturer, have not been relied
upon, and shall not in any way affect Lessee's obligation to make the Lease
Payments and otherwise perform as set forth in this Agreement and the Lease.
REGARDLESS OF CAUSE, LESSEE WILL NOT ASSERT ANY CLAIM WHATSOEVER AGAINST
LESSOR FOR LOSS OF ANTICIPATORY PROFITS OR ANY OTHER INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, LESSEE
DOES NOT WAIVE ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES IT MAY HAVE AGAINST THE VENDOR AND/OR
MANUFACTURER OF THE EQUIPMENT.
2. It is expressly agreed by the parties that this Addendum is
supplemental to the Lease which is by reference made a part hereof, and all the
Terms and Conditions and provisions thereof, unless specifically modified
herein, are to apply to this Addendum and are made a part of this Addendum as
though they were expressly rewritten, incorporated and included herein.
3. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or incongruity between
the provisions of this Addendum and any of the provisions of the Lease, the
provisions of this Addendum shall in all respects govern and control.
