First Security Leasing Company of Nevada
MASTER EQUIPMENT LEASE AGREEMENT
This Master Equipment Lease Agreement ("Master Lease") is between First
Security Leasing Company of Nevada ("Lessor") and the lessee or lessees
specified below ("Lessee").
Section 1. Intent to Lease.
Lessor agrees to pay for and lease to Lessee and Lessee agrees to lease
from Lessor the personal property (the "Equipment" or, individually, an "Item")
described in each Lease Schedule to Master Equipment Lease Agreement (a
"Schedule") pursuant hereto. Each Schedule and a copy of the Master Lease
shall be a separate lease (a "Lease). "Agreement" shall mean this Master Lease
and all Schedules.
Section 2. Term; Rental; Unconditional Obligations; Security.
A. The lease of each Item shall begin on the date of the related Schedule
(the "Acceptance Date") and end on the Expiration Date specified in the
Schedule (the "Expiration") or on the date of any earlier or later than
termination hereunder (the "Termination").
B. Lessee shall pay to Lessor Interim Rental, if applicable, and Basic
Rental ("Rental") for each Item in the amounts and on the dates ("Rental
Payment Dates") shown in the applicable Schedule. If any amount payable under
the Agreement is not paid within ten (10) days after it is due, Lessee shall
immediately pay to Lessor a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such
amount. Lessee shall also pay to Lessor interest on all overdue amounts at the
rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate allowed by law,
whichever is less, compounded daily.
C. All Leases are net leases. Lessee's obligations under each Lease shall
all be performed at Lessee's expense and shall only terminate under the
provisions thereof. Lessee shall not be entitled to any reduction or
withholding of any amount payable under any Lease for any reason (including any
present or future claims of Lessee against Lessor, under the Lease or
otherwise, or against any manufacturer or vendor). Except as expressly
provided, Lessee's obligations shall not be affected by any defect in, damage
to, loss of, or interference with use of any Item from any cause or by any
person, entity or government, by any invalidity or unenforceability of the
Lease or any lack of authority of Lessor to enter into the Lease, or by any
other cause, notwithstanding any present or future law or regulation. Lessee
waives any rights under Sections 221, 405 and 406 of the applicable version of
Uniform Commercial Code Article 2A ("UCC 2A") and any similar laws or rights,
including rights to avoidance, allowance, allocation, modification, and notice.
D. If a Schedule specifies that a security deposit is required, upon its
execution Lessee shall deposit the amount so specified with Lessor. Lessor may
commingle such deposit with its other funds. Lessee grants Lessor a security
interest in such deposit to secure all of Lessee's obligations under the
Agreement. Within fifteen days (15) after written notice to Lessee that all or
any part of a security deposit has been used to satisfy any such obligation,
Lessee shall deposit with Lessor an amount sufficient to restore the security
deposit to the required amount. Upon Expiration or Termination,
-19-
First Security Leasing Company of Nevada
MASTER EQUIPMENT LEASE AGREEMENT
if no Default (as defined in Section 13) exists, any unused portion of the
related security deposit will be returned to Lessee without interest.
E. Any security for Lessee's existing or future obligations under this or
any other agreements with Lessor shall secure Lessee's existing or future
obligations under all such agreements.
Section 3. Lessee Options at Expiration of Lease Term.
At least one hundred twenty (120) days, but not more than one hundred
eighty days (180), before Expiration (or, in the case of purchase or return
under clause (b) or (c) below, the renewal term, if any, of such item), Lessee
will give Lessor irrevocable written notice that it either (a) exercises its
option to renew this Lease as to all (but not less than all) Items at the Fair
Rental Value and for a single renewal term to be agreed upon by Lessor and
Lessee but in no case less than six (6) months (but this renewal option may not
be exercised if an Event of Default has occurred or if there has been a
material adverse change in Lessee's business or financial condition since the
Acceptance Date), (b) exercises its option to purchase all such Items at
Expiration or at the expiration of the renewal term, if any, for cash for their
Fair Rental Value or (c) will return all such Items to Lessor at Expiration or
at the expiration of the renewal term, if any, as described below. If such
notice is not given, Lessee shall be deemed to have elected to renew this Lease
as to all such Items at their current periodic rent and for a renewal term of
six (6) months, unless Lessor by written notice instructs Lessee to return such
Items as described below, "Fair market Value" of "Fair Market Rental" is to be
determined by agreement between Lessor and Lessee, and if they cannot agree, by
an independent appraiser selected by Lessor but acceptable to Lessee. The cost
of appraisal shall be borne by Lessee. Lessee will at its sole expense return
each Item to Lessor where designated by Lessor, in the good operating order and
condition as when delivered to Lessee, free and clear of liens or rights of
others and properly packed and crated, with freight prepaid to Lessor at such
locations as Lessor may designate to Lessee. Upon Lessor's request, Lessee
will store any Item before its return without charge at its current location
for up to one hundred twenty (120) days, during which period Lessee will remain
liable for all of its obligations under this Lease except payment of rent. If
Lessee fails to return any Item in full compliance with this Section 3, or in
full compliance with any return provision in the Agreement including, any and
all additional return provision attached to any Schedule as an exhibit, Lessor
may treat this Lease as continuing in full force and effect as to such Item and
Lessee will continue to pay the full current periodic rent for such Item, but
Lessor may at any time terminate this Lease without notice and repossess such
Item. The Fair Market Value of any Item shall be the value upon which an
informed and willing seller and informed and willing buyer (other than a used
equipment or scrap dealer) would agree, each under no compulsion to buy or
sell. Fair market Rental value for any Item shall be the value upon which and
informed and willing lessee (other than a lessee currently in possession) and
informed and willing lessor, each under no compulsion to lease, would agree.
For purposes of the Section 3 only, the value shall be determined on the
assumption that such Item had been maintained and operated in the manner
required by Section 8(B) hereof. Costs of removal from the location of current
use shall not be a deduction from such value.

taxes either not yet due or being contested in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings. Lessee will promptly, at its own expense, take such action as may
be necessary duly to discharge any such mortgage, security interest, pledge,

shall be personal property even if attached to the real property.
Section 7. Taxes.
Lessee agrees to pay promptly when due and to indemnify and hold Lessor
harmless from all sales, use, personal property, leasing, leasing use, stamp or
other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees or withholding of any

government or taxing authority upon or with respect to the Equipment or upon
the purchase, ownership, delivery, leasing, possession, use operation, return
or other disposition thereof, or upon the rentals, receipts or earnings arising
therefrom, or upon or with respect to any Lease (excluding, however, federal,
state and local taxes on or measured solely by the net income of Lessor)
unless, and to the extent only, that any such tax, levy, impost, duty, charge
or withholding is being contested by Lessee in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings. In case any report or return is required to be made with respect
to any obligation of Lessee under this Section Lessee will notify Lessor of
such requirement and make such report or return in such manner as shall be
satisfactory to Lessor. Lessor agrees to cooperate fully with lessee in the
preparation of any such reports or returns. Lessee agrees to remit all
applicable sale or use taxes to Lessor promptly upon receipt of an invoice
therefor.
Section 8. Title; Use, Maintenance and Operation, Identification Marking.
A. Lessor shall retain full legal title to the Equipment notwithstanding
delivery to and possession and use thereof by Lessee. Upon delivery of the
Equipment Lessee shall cause said Equipment to be duly registered, and at all
times thereafter to remain duly registered, in the name of Lessor, or at
Lessor's request shall furnish to Lessor such information as may be required to
enable Lessor to make application for such registration and shall promptly
furnish to Lessor such information as may be required to enable Lessor to file
timely any reports required to be filed by it as Lessor under the Lease or as
the owner of the Equipment with any governmental authority.
B. Lessee agrees that the Equipment will be used solely in the conduct of
its business. Lessee further agrees to comply in all material respects with
all applicable governmental laws, regulations, requirements and rules with
respect to the use, maintenance and operation of each Item of Equipment.
Lessee agrees that each Item of Equipment (except Items which prior to the
execution of the Lease Lessee shall have advised Lessor in writing are normally
used or to be used in more than one Location) will be kept at the address shown
in the Schedules with respect to such Item unless Lessor shall first otherwise
consent in writing. Lessee will immediately give written notice to Lessor of
any change in ins principal place of business.
Lessee, at its own cost and expense, will repair and maintain the
Equipment so as to keep it in a good condition as when delivered to Lessee
hereunder, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Lessee may from time to time add
-23-
First Security Leasing Company of Nevada
MASTER EQUIPMENT LEASE AGREEMENT
further parts or accessories to any Item of Equipment provided that such
addition does not impair the value, utility or warranties of such Item of
Equipment and is readily removable without causing material damage to such
Item.
C. Lessee agrees at its own cost and expense to place such markings,
plates or other identification on the Equipment showing Lessor's title thereto
as Lessor may from time to time request, provided such identification markings
are places so as not to interfere with the usefulness of such
Equipment. Except as above provided, Lessee will not allow the name of any
person, association or corporation to be placed on the Equipment as a
designation that might be interpreted as a claim of ownership.
D. Upon request, Lessee shall inform Lessor of each Item's location and
make each Item and Lessee's related records available for inspection at any
reasonable time.
Section 9. Loss or Destruction.
If any item is lost or stolen or becomes permanently unfit for use for any
reason (an "Event of Loss"), Lessee shall, within ten (10) days, notify Lessor
in writing and shall, at Lessor's option, either (i) replace it with property
acceptable to Lessor within thirty (30) days after the Event of Loss or (ii) on
the first Rental Payment Date at least twenty (20) days after the Event of
Loss, pay to Lessor the value its interest in the Item and the remainder of the
Lease thereof (plus compensation for the loss of Tax Benefits, if applicable),
as such value is established by Lessor from time to time, (the "Casualty
Value") and all unpaid amounts due with respect to such Item through that date.
Lessor may apply the Casualty Value payment to Lessee's obligations, whether or
not matured, in any order, at Lessor's option. Upon request, Lessor will
furnish Lessee a schedule of the Casualty Values for any Item.
If Lessee replaces such Item, the replacement shall be of like kind, be
free of all liens, encumbrances and rights of others, and have a fair market
value substantially equal to the value the replaced Item would have if it were
in the conditions required by the Lease. The replacement shall immediately
become Lessor's property and part of the Equipment for all purposes, and
Lessee's Rental obligation shall not changes. Lessee shall execute any
documents Lessor deems necessary to ensure Lessor's full title thereto. The
replaced Item shall no longer be part of the Equipment, and Lessor will
transfer its interest therein to Lessee without recourse or warranty.
If Lessee does not replace such Item, upon payment of all amounts due with
respect thereto, Lessee's Rental obligation with respect to the Item shall
cease, and Lessor will transfer its interest in the Item to Lessee, without
recourse or warranty, "as is and where is."
Section 10. Insurance
At its own expense, Lessee shall maintain comprehensive general liability,
products liability and property damage insurance acceptable to Lessor with
respect to each Item in an amount not less than the amount specified in the
Schedules relating thereto and, in any event, in an amount sufficient to
provide full coverage against all loss and liability. Each such insurance
policy shall name Lessor as an insured and as loss payee and
-24-
First Security Leasing Company of Nevada
MASTER EQUIPMENT LEASE AGREEMENT
shall provide that it may be altered or canceled by the insurer only after
thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee agrees to cause
certificates or other evidence satisfactory to Lessor showing the existence of
such insurance, the terms and conditions of each policy and payment of the
premium therefor to be delivered to Lessor upon demand thirty (30) days prior
to expiration or cancellation showing renewal or replacement of such policy.
In the event Lessee shall fail to obtain and/or maintain insurance in
accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, Lessor shall have the right
to obtain such insurance as Lessor deems necessary, and Lessee shall reimburse
Lessor for the payment by Lessor of all premiums therefor together with
interest computed from the date of Lessor's payment at the rate of eighteen
percent (18%) per annum. If (a) any insurance proceeds are received with
respect to a loss with respect to Equipment which does not constitute an Event
of Loss under Section 9, or (b) if Lessee elects to replace an Item or Items
suffering an Event of Loss under the provisions of Section 9 hereof, proceeds
will be applied in payment for repairs and replacement required pursuant to
Section 8 hereof, or to reimburse Lessee have made such payments.
Section 11. Indemnification.
A. Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor and its assignees and
their agents and employees from and against all claims, liability (including
strict tort and strict products liability), or expenses (including attorney's
fees) relating to (i) the Equipment or any part thereof, or its construction,
purchase, delivery, installation, ownership, leasing, use, maintenance, repair,
replacement, operation, return or condition (whether defects are latent or
discoverable), (ii) Lessee's failure to accept the Equipment "as is," (iii) any
actual or alleged patent or trademark infringement or act or omission of Lessee
or its agents or employees, or (iv) Lessee's financial or tax accounting. This
Section shall be effective from the date the first Item is ordered even though
not accepted by Lessee. Lessee shall give Lessor prompt notice of any claim or
liability indemnified against.
B. (OPTIONAL. This Section 11(B) shall apply if so indicated in the
applicable Schedule.) Lessor shall be entitled to the following benefits (the
"Tax Benefits"): (i) Lessor will be the owner and lessor of each Item for all
purposes; (ii) Lessor will have a basis in each Item under Section 1012 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") equal to the invoice
purchase price indicated in the Schedule therefor; (iii) Each Item will be "3-
year," "5-year," "7-year," "10-year," "15-year," or "20-year" property (as
defined in Section 168(e) of the Code) as indicated in the Schedule, and Lessor
will be allowed 100% of the deduction with respect to each Item in each
recovery year as provided in Section 168(b) and (c) of the Code. Neither
Lessee nor any of its affiliates will at any time, take or fail to take any
action inconsistent with the Tax Benefits or which would increase the amount
Lessor is required to take into income with respect to any Item. Lessee shall
keep and make available for Lessor's inspection and copying all records
necessary to facilitate the foregoing. Lessee represents and warrants that
Lessor will be the owner of each Item on or before its Acceptance Date and that
each Item will be "placed in service" (within the meaning of the Code and
related regulations) no later than the end of the calendar year in which the
Acceptance Date occurs. If Lessor shall lose or shall not have the right to
any of the Tax Benefits for any reason other than (i) Lessor's sale of an Item
before any Event of Default, (ii) Lessor's
-25-
First Security Leasing Company of Nevada
MASTER EQUIPMENT LEASE AGREEMENT
failure to claim the Tax Benefits, (iii) a change in the Lessor's business, or
(iv) Lessor's failure to have sufficient income to use the Tax Benefits, then
Lessee shall pay Lessor, on demand, an amount which, in Lessor's reasonable
opinion and after deduction of all related taxes, will provide Lessor with the
same net after-tax return Lessor would have had through Expiration if there had
been no such loss.
C. Lessor's rights under Section 11 shall survive Expiration or
Termination with respect to any Item. For purposes of Section 11, "Lessor"
shall include any group of which Lessor is a member which files a consolidated
income tax return.
Section 12. Assignments and Subleases.
Lessor may at any time, without notice, grant a security interest in,
transfer or assign any or all Leases, Items, or rights and remedies as Lessor
to any party, with such party assuming all, part or none of Lessor's
obligations. Lessee shall not assert against such party any defense,
counterclaim or offset Lessee may have against Lessor. Lessee acknowledges
that any such grant, transfer or assignment would not materially change
Lessee's duties, risks or interests under the Agreement.
LESSEE SHALL NOT, WITHOUT LESSOR'S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT, SUBLEASE OR
RELINQUISH POSSESSION OF ANY ITEM OR ASSIGN ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR DELEGATE ANY
OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER. Lessee grants Lessor a security interest in any
existing or future sublease of an Item and the proceeds thereof, whether or not
such sublease is prohibited.
Section 13. Default; Remedies.
A. The following shall be Events of Default: (i) Lessee's failure to pay
any Rental when due which continues unremedied for ten (10) days; (ii) Lessee's
failure to maintain required insurance; (iii) Lessee's failure to pay any
amount other than Rental or perform any obligation under the Agreement for then
(10) days after notice of non-performance from Lessor; (iv) The failure of any
of Lessee's representations or warranties herein or in any related document to
be correct in any respect at any time; (v) Lessee's insolvency, bankruptcy, or
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the appointment of or Lessee's
consent to the appointment of a trustee or receiver for Lessee or a substantial
part of its property; (vi) Any event of default or default as described in the

upon request, provide to Lessor such certifications or other evidence of
Lessee's compliance within the terms of this section as Lessor may, from time
to time, reasonably require.
