  i. Master Agreement Amendment: For purposes of this Schedule only, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Lease, Section 2(b) of the Master Agreement shall be amended by deleting the last two sentences in their entirety and replacing them with the following:
     
    During the term of the Lease, Lessee grants to Varilease Finance, Inc. as secured party on behalf of each Lessor under this Master Agreement and any Schedule hereto a security interest in any and all goods, chattels, fixtures, equipment, assets, accounts receivable, and property of every kind wherever located in which Lessee has any interest and the proceeds thereof, and agrees that any security interest created by this Master Agreement secures any and all obligations of Lessee and those of any affiliate of Lessee to Lessor whether now in existence and/or to come into existence. No lien or security interest of any nature in Lessee’s general intangibles, including, without limitation, intellectual property shall be granted to Lessor or Assignee. The foregoing grant shall automatically be effective and each Lessor and Assignee, as defined in Section 10, shall have the right to file financing statements or other instruments under the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”), Personal Property Security Act (“PPSA”) or other applicable law governing secured transactions for informational purposes. Upon written request of Lessee, Lessor shall execute all written documentation reasonably necessary to subordinate Lessor’s lien and security interest to the lien and security interest of any other lender to Lessee, whether such lender’s lien and security interest exists now or at a later date during the term of the Lease. Upon an uncured Event of Default on the part of Lessee under this Agreement and/or any Schedule, Lessor agrees that prior to Lessor’s enforcement of any rights that it may have under this § 2(b), Lessor shall, first seek to enforce its remedies and obtain a recovery for amounts due to Lessor through recovery and repossession of the Equipment. Only after Lessor has exhausted its rights and remedies of enforcement as to the Equipment, and Lessor has not recovered the full, outstanding amounts due and owing to Lessor, shall Lessor be entitled to enforce its rights and remedies through enforcement of the lien and security interest granted in this § 2(b).
     
    All other terms and conditions of the Master Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without change.
     
  j. Master Agreement Amendment: For purposes of this Schedule only, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or an event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, Section 19(b) of the Master Agreement shall be amended by deleting the last sentence in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
     
    “At the conclusion of option (ii) above, provided Lessee has made all rental payments, and other sums required to fulfill Lessee’s contractual obligation under the Lease, including, but not limited to (i) any applicable sales tax, (ii) all unpaid property taxes, (iii) all accrued but unbilled property taxes, and (iv) all unpaid late charges, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in the Equipment shall transfer to Lessee, or if the Equipment includes software which is subject to a license, then all of Lessor’s right and interest in and to the software shall transfer to Lessee, and the Lease shall terminate.”
     
    All other terms and conditions of the Master Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without change.

 

Lessee’s execution and delivery of this Schedule shall constitute its offer to lease the Equipment described herein upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
