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 this 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.

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 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 10, or (b) if Lessee elects to replace an Item or Items suffering an Event of Loss under the provisions of Section 10 hereof, proceeds will be applied in payment for repairs and replacement required pursuant to Section 8 and 9 hereof, or to reimburse Lessee have made such payments. -43- First Security Leasing Company of Nevada MASTER EQUIPMENT LEASE AGREEMENT Section 12.

This Section shall be effective from the date the first Item of Equipment is ordered and shall remain in effect notwithstanding the expiration or other termination of a Lease with respect to any one or more Items of Equipment. Lessee agrees to give Lessor prompt notice of any claim or liability hereby indemnified against. Lessor agrees to cooperate with Lessee in any defense or other action which Lessee is by this Section obligated to undertake. Section 13. Assignments and Subsidies. 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 14. Events of Default; Remedies.

(v) Any event of default as described in the documentation executed in connection with any other credit or lease facility extended by Lessor, or any affiliated company of Lessor, to Lessee. B. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default Lessor may at its option exercise one or more of the following remedies: (i) Declare all unpaid Rentals under any Lease or all Leases to be immediately due and payable; (ii) Proceed by appropriate court action to enforce performance by Lessee of the applicable covenants, of the Agreement and/or to recover damages for the breach thereof; or (iii) By notice in writing terminate any Lease or all Leases whereupon all rights of Lessee to the use of the Equipment shall absolutely cease and terminate, but Lessee shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. Thereafter, Lessee, if requested by Lessor, shall, at its own cost promptly deliver possession of the Equipment to Lessor in such manner and to such place as Lessor shall direct or Lessor may at any hour and without liability, except for malicious acts by its agents, and without notice to Lessee enter upon the premises of Lessee or other premises where any of the Equipment may be located and take possession of or render unusable all or any of such Equipment and attachments thereon whether or not the property of Lessor and thenceforth hold, sell or re-lease such Equipment at its option. Lessor shall thereupon have a right to recover from Lessee an amount equal to any unpaid Rental due and payable up to and including the Rental Payment Date following the date on which Lessor has given the termination notice referred to above, any and all other amounts due and payable hereunder and in addition thereto (a) as damages for loss of the bargain and not as penalty an amount equal to the Termination Value as of such Rental Payment Date, and (b) all expenses, including by not limited to reasonable attorney's fees, which Lessor shall have sustained by reason of the breach of any covenant of this Agreement, expenses for obtaining and storing the Equipment and expenses in connection with locating another lessee or buyer. C. The remedies in this Agreement in favor of Lessor shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to all other remedies in its favor existing at law or in equity. Lessee hereby waives any mandatory requirements of law, now or hereafter in effect, which might limit or modify any of the remedies herein provided, to the extent that such waiver is permitted by law. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Event of Default hereunder shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Event of Default.
