     personal property, notwithstanding, the Leased ATMs or any part thereof may

     thereon.

5.   Operation and Maintenance; Inspection.
     -------------------------------------

     a.   Sublessee shall be solely responsible for the installation, operation,
          and  maintenance of the Leased ATMs, and, at its own cost and expense,

          order,  in  accordance  with any  applicable  manufacturer's  manuals,
          instructions  or  requirements,  (ii)  furnish all parts,  mechanisms,
          devices and servicing required therefor,  (iii) make all replacements,
          alterations  or  additions  to the Leased ATMs that may be required by
          the  vendor  or  manufacturer  of the  Leased  ATMs or may be  legally
          necessary,  and (iv) make no other  alterations  or  additions  to the
          Leased  ATMs  without  the prior  written  consent  of  Lessor.  Parts
          attached  to or  installed  in or on the Leased  ATMs as  required  by
          clauses (i)-(iv) above shall be free and clear of all liens and have a
          value,  utility and remaining  useful life at least equal to the parts
          replaced.  Title to all such parts  shall  immediately  vest in Lessor
          without  cost to  Lessor,  or any  further  action,  and  such  parts,
          alterations or additions shall be deemed  incorporated into the Leased
          ATMs and subject to the terms of this Sublease and the Lease Agreement
          as if originally leased thereunder.

     b.   Sublessee  shall use and operate the Leased ATMs by competent and duly
          qualified personnel, and for business purposes only in compliance with

     c.   Sublessee,  at its own cost and expense, shall enter into and maintain
          in full  force and  effect  throughout  the  Sublease  Term,  with the
          manufacturer or such other party as may be acceptable to Sublessor,  a

     d.   Sublessee  shall not move the Leased ATMs from the location  specified
          in the Lease Schedule  without the prior written consent of Sublessor,
          which consent  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld,  and, if granted,
          without  executing,  financing  statements and  completing  filings or
          taking  such other  actions as  Sublessor  may  reasonably  request to
          protect Lessor's interest in the Leased ATMs.

     e.   Sublessee  agrees  never to abandon or  relinquish  possession  of the
          Leased ATMs except to Sublessor or its agents.

     any of the Leased  ATMs by any  government  entity and  whether or not such
     Loss is covered by insurance (collectively,  "Loss"). In the event of Loss,
     Sublessee  shall promptly  notify  Sublessor in writing of the Loss and all
     related details and any action related thereto, and Sublessor shall, within

     condition  required  by the terms of Section 5 herein);  or (b) replace the
