minimum term in months as set forth in the Lease Schedule following the first
billing date and the fulfillment of all obligations of LESSEE thereunder or upon
notice by LESSOR in the case of LESSEE default. In the event LESSEE retains
part or all of the EQUIPMENT beyond the term of the LEASE, then the terms of the
LEASE shall stay in effect during such hold-over period, subject to LESSOR's
right on default to terminate the LEASE.
4. NO WARRANTIES BY LESSOR. LESSOR makes no warranty, express, implied or
statutory, as to any matter whatsoever, including the condition of the
EQUIPMENT, its merchantability or its fitness for any particular purpose, and as
to LESSOR, LESSEE lenses the EQUIPMENT "as is".

been made and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Oregon or breach of the LEASE must be instituted and maintained in Multnomah
County, State of Oregon, and LESSEE expressly agrees to submit to personal

6. ASSIGNMENT. Without LESSOR's prior written consent, LESSEE shall not
assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the LEASE, any
interest therein, or sublease or loan the EQUIPMENT or permit it to be used by
anyone other than LESSEE or LESSEE's qualified employees. LESSOR may assign the
LEASE and/or grant a security interest in the EQUIPMENT, in whole or in part, to
one or more assignees, without notice to LESSEE. LESSOR's assignee(s) and/or
the secured party(ies) may reassign the LEASE, and/or such security interest
without notice to LESSEE. Each such assignee and/or such secured party shall
have all rights of LESSORS under the LEASE, but no such assignee or secured
party shall be bound to perform any obligation of LESSOR, LESSEE shall recognize
each such assignment and shall not assert against any assignee and/or secured
party any defense, counterclaim or setoff it may have against LESSOR. LESSEE
acknowledges that any assignment or transfer by LESSOR shall not materially
change LESSEE's duties or obligations under the LEASE nor materially increase
the burdens or risks imposed on LESSEE.
7. SELECTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF EQUIPMENT. LESSEE has selected both the
EQUIPMENT and the supplier(s) from whom LESSOR is to purchase the EQUIPMENT.
LESSEE shall arrange for transportation, delivery, and installation of the
EQUIPMENT at LESSEE's expense. LESSEE acknowledges that it has examined the
EQUIPMENT as fully as it desires. If the EQUIPMENT is not properly installed,
its delivery is delayed, it does not operate as represented by the supplier(s)
or it is unsatisfactory for any reason. LESSEE shall make no claim on account
thereof against LESSOR. LESSEE authorizes LESSOR to insert in the LEASE or
other documents the serial numbers and other identification information for the
EQUIPMENT as determined by LESSOR.
8. SUPPLIER/BROKER NOT AGENT OF LESSOR. LESSEE understands and agrees that
neither the supplier(s), nor any salesperson or agent of the supplier(s), is an
agent of LESSOR. LESSEE further agrees that if any transaction hereunder is
presented to LESSOR by a lease broker, that such broker is acting as an agent of
LESSEE and is not an agent of LESSOR. No salesperson or agent of the
supplier(s) or broker(s) is authorized to waive or alter any term or condition
of the LEASE, and no representation as to the EQUIPMENT or any matter by the
supplier(s) or broker(s) shall in any way affect LESSEE's duty to pay rent and
perform its other obligations set forth in the LEASE.
9. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Security deposits received by LESSOR are to guarantee
prompt and full payment of rent and the faithful and timely performance of all
provisions of the LEASE by LESSEE. Security deposits secure all obligations of
LESSEE to LESSOR under the LEASE or otherwise. No interest shall accrue on the
security deposit to the account of LESSEE. If LESSEE is not in default under
any agreement with LESSOR, the security deposit shall be returned to LESSEE at
the end of the LEASE term. In the event LESSEE defaults on any of its
obligations to LESSOR, LESSOR shall have the right, but shall not be obligated,
to apply the security deposit to cure such default. LESSEE shall, within ten
(10) days, restore the security deposit to the full amount held by LESSOR prior
to its application to cure such default.

by LESSEE, the EQUIPMENT has not been delivered to and accepted by LESSEE and if
LESSOR has accepted the LEASE by signing. LESSOR, by written notice to LESSEE,
shall have the option at any time thereafter to terminate LESSOR's obligation,
if any, to lease the subject EQUIPMENT to LESSEE.
11. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT. On the expiration or earlier termination of the
LEASE, or on LESSEE default if LESSOR chooses, LESSEE, at its expense, freight
prepaid with full original value declared and insured, shall immediately return
the EQUIPMENT unencumbered to LESSOR in good repair, condition and working
order, ordinary wear and tear resulting from proper use thereof alone excepted,
by properly packing it for shipment and delivering it to any place designated by
LESSOR.
12. OWNERSHIP. The EQUIPMENT shall at all times remain the personal property
of LESSOR. LESSEE will at all times protect and defend, at its own cost and
expense, the ownership of LESSOR against all claims, liens and legal processes
of creditors of LESSEE and other persons, and keep the EQUIPMENT free and clear
from all such claims, liens and processes. If the LEASE is deemed at any time
to be one intended as security or should LESSOR agree at any time to sell the
EQUIPMENT to LESSEE, LESSEE agrees that the EQUIPMENT shall secure, in addition
to the indebtedness set forth in the LEASE, indebtedness at any time owing by
2
LESSEE to LESSOR. Notwithstanding any other terms and conditions of the LEASE,
in the event that the EQUIPMENT includes computer software, LESSEE agrees that
LESSOR has not had, does not have, nor shall have any title to such computer
software. LESSEE may have executed or may execute a separate software license
agreement(s) and LESSEE agrees that LESSOR is not a party to nor responsible for
any performance with regard to such license agreement(s).
13. LOCATION AND RIGHT OF INSPECTION. The EQUIPMENT shall be kept at the
location specified on the Lease Schedule or, if none is specified, at LESSEE's
address as set forth therein, and shall not be removed therefrom without
LESSOR's prior written consent. LESSOR shall have the right at any time during
normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to inspect the EQUIPMENT and
for that purpose has access to the location of the EQUIPMENT.
14. USE AND OPERATION. LESSEE shall use the EQUIPMENT in a careful manner and
shall comply with all laws relating to its possession, use and maintenance.

concern and that no item of EQUIPMENT will be used for personal, family or
household purposes.

alterations, additions or improvements to the EQUIPMENT without LESSOR's prior
written consent. All alterations, additions or improvements made to the
EQUIPMENT shall belong to LESSOR.
16. LOSS AND DAMAGE. LESSEE shall bear the entire risk of loss, theft, damage
or destruction of the EQUIPMENT from any cause whatsoever and, as between LESSOR
and LESSEE, unless otherwise agreed between the parties. LESSEE shall bear that
risk of loss during transportation and delivery, and LESSEE shall arrange and
pay for transportation and delivery. No loss, theft, damage or destruction of
the EQUIPMENT shall relieve LESSEE of the obligation to pay rent or to comply
with any other obligation under the LEASE. In the event of damage to any item
of EQUIPMENT, LESSEE shall immediately place the same in good repair at LESSEE's
expense- If LESSOR determines that any item of EQUIPMENT is lost, stolen,
destroyed or damaged beyond repair. LESSEE shall, at LESSEE's option: (a)
replace the same with like equipment in good repair, acceptable to LESSOR; or
(b) pay LESSOR a sum equal to (i) all amounts due by LESSEE to LESSOR under the
LEASE up to the date of the loss, (ii) the unpaid balance of the total rent for
the remaining term under the LEASE which is attributable to said item of
EQUIPMENT, and (iii) an amount equal to eighteen percent (18%) of the original
cost of said item of EQUIPMENT, which the parties agree shall represent the fair
market value of LESSOR's residual interest in said item of EQUIPMENT. The
amounts in (ii) and (iii) shall be discounted to present value at a discount
rate of six percent (6%) per annum.
17. INSURANCE. LESSEE shall provide and maintain primary insurance against
loss, theft, damage or destruction of the EQUIPMENT in an amount not less than
the full replacement value of the EQUIPMENT, with loss payable to LESSOR. At
LESSOR's request, LESSEE also shall provide and maintain primary comprehensive
general all risk liability insurance. Such insurance shall include, but shall
not be limited to, product liability coverage, insuring LESSOR and LESSEE, with
a severability of interest endorsement or its equivalent, against any and all
loss or liability for all damages, either to persons, property or otherwise,
which might result from or happen in connection with the condition, use or
operation of the EQUIPMENT, with such limits and with an insurer satisfactory to
LESSOR. Each policy shall expressly provide that the insurance as to LESSOR
shall not be invalidated by any act, omission or neglect of LESSEE and cannot be
canceled without ten (10) days written notice to LESSOR. As to each policy,
LESSEE shall furnish to LESSOR a certificate of insurance from the insurer
evidencing the insurance coverage required by this Section. If LESSEE fails to
procure or maintain such insurance. LESSOR shall have the right, but shall not
be obligated, to obtain such insurance as to LESSOR's and/or LESSEE's interests.
In that event, LESSEE shall repay to LESSOR the cost thereof with the next
payment of rent, together with late charges as set forth in Section 23. LESSEE
irrevocably appoints LESSOR as LESSEE's attorney-in-fact to make claim for,
receive payment of, and execute and endorse all documents, checks or drafts

use of the EQUIPMENT, excluding, however, all taxes on LESSOR's income. If
LESSEE fails to pay said charges or taxes to LESSOR when due. LESSOR shall have
the right, but shall not be obligated, to pay said charges or taxes, and add the
same to the next payment of rent, together with late charges as set out in
Section 23. LESSEE agrees to pay a reasonable fee to LESSOR for the processing
of property tax payments.
19. INDEMNITY. LESSEE shall indemnify LESSOR against, and hold LESSOR harmless
from, any and all claims, actions, proceedings, expenses, damages and
liabilities, including attorney fees, arising in connection with the EQUIPMENT,
including, without limitation, its manufacture, selection, purchase, delivery,
possession, use, operation or return and the recovery of claims under insurance
policies thereon. This indemnity provision shall survive termination,
cancellation or breach of the LEASE.
20. MISCELLANEOUS REPRESENTA-TIONS OF LESSEE. LESSEE and any guarantor of the
LEASE shall provide LESSOR with such corporate resolutions, financial statements
not less than quarterly, and all other documents regarding the financial or

investigate the credit-worthiness of LESSEE using all available means.
