WHEREAS, a condition precedent of consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement requires that Lessor and Lessee restructure and modify the terms of the credit facility offered by Lessor to Lessee pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Initial Lease Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Lessor and the Lessee desire to amend and restate the Initial Lease Agreement upon the terms, conditions and provisions set forth herein, and further desire that this Lease shall supersede the Initial Lease Agreement and all Rental Schedules (as defined therein and delivered thereunder);

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the above premises and of the agreements and understandings set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged and accepted, the parties hereto intending to be bound agree and the Initial Lease Agreement is hereby amended and restated by as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS AND RULES OF CONSTRUCTION. Unless the context shall otherwise require, capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 21 hereof.

2. LEASE. Lessee hereby agrees to continue to lease from the Lessor, and Lessor, by acceptance of this Lease, agrees to continue to lease to Lessee, the Equipment set forth on Schedule I hereto. Lessee agrees that it shall, pursuant to the terms hereof, comply with all of the terms and conditions herein and Lessor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Lease supercede the terms and conditions contained in the Initial Lease Agreement and any Rental Schedule delivered under the Initial Lease Agreement.

3. TERM AND RENT; OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL; WAIVER.

(a) The Equipment is leased for the Term, unless and until the Term of this Lease shall sooner terminate pursuant to the terms hereof. The Term shall commence on October 1, 2003 (the "Commencement Date") and shall expire at 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2005.

(b) The aggregate principal balance of One Million Twenty Three Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy Eight and 52/100 Dollars ($1,023,978.52) owed by Lessee to Lessor under the Initial Lease

Agreement is hereby reduced to Seven Hundred Ninety-Three Thousand Five Hundred Eight-Three and 35/100 Dollars ($793,583.35)(the "Amended Principal Balance"), and Lessor hereby releases Lessee from all obligations to pay the remainder balance of Two Hundred Thirty Thousand Three Hundred Ninety Five and 17/100 Dollars ($230,395.17). The Amended Principal Balance shall be the initial principal balance of this Lease.

(c) In satisfaction and payment of the Amended Principal Balance, Lessee shall pay to Lessor or an agent designated by Lessor or any Transferee in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America, on the Commencement Date and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter through and including June 1, 2005 a monthly installment of Thirty-Seven Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty-Nine and 68/100 Dollars ($37,789.68) (the "Monthly Rent"), in each case by wire transfer to Lessor's account as set forth on Schedule II, or at such other address or to such other Person as Lessor, from time to time, may designate in writing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(b) and in addition to Lessor's rights of acceleration set forth in Sections 11(a) and 16 hereof, if at any time Lessee repays all or a portion of the principal portion of its Indebtedness owed to TCW (a "TCW Prepayment") while this Lease is in effect, Lessor may require (but shall not be obligated to require) Lessee to immediately pay to Lessor that amount of the remaining portion of the Amended Principal Balance owed under this Lease equal to (X) the remaining portion of the Amended Principal Balance, multiplied by (Y) the quotient derived from dividing (1) the amount of the TCW Prepayment, by (2) the aggregate amount of Lessee's Indebtedness owed to TCW prior to the TCW Prepayment.

(d) Lessee shall also pay to Lessor or an agent designated by Lessor or any Transferee in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America, all Supplemental Rent. Supplemental Rent shall be paid when due or within 30 days following Lessor's written demand therefore if there is no due date therefor. If Lessee shall fail to pay any Supplemental Rent, Lessor shall have the right to pay the same and shall have all rights, powers and remedies for reimbursement from Lessee with respect thereto as are provided herein (including, without limitation, Section 15 and 16 hereof) or by Law in the case of non-payment of Monthly Rent. Lessee shall also pay to Lessor the Excess Use Fee on all overdue Rent from the due date thereof until paid. Lessee shall perform all of its obligations under this Lease at its sole cost and expense, and shall pay all Rent when due, without further notice or demand.

(e) This Lease is a net lease and Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessee's obligation to pay all Rent and other sums payable hereunder, and the rights of Lessor in and to such payments, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to any abatement, reduction, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment due to or alleged to be due to, or by reason of, any past, present or future claims that Lessee may have against Lessor, any Transferee, the manufacturer or Supplier of the Equipment or any Person for any reason whatsoever.

(f) All Rent and other amounts payable under this Lease including all amounts payable under Section 18 hereof shall be payable notwithstanding the fact that an item of Equipment shall have suffered a Total Loss unless, pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 hereof, Lessor shall have received the Stipulated Loss Value with respect to any such item of Equipment.

(g) Lessor hereby waives any and all (i) payment Events of Default under the Initial Lease Agreement and (ii) Events of Default that are the subject of that certain Notice of Default dated August 12, 2003 from Lessor to Lessee, in either case, which are in existence and continuing as of the Commencement Date, including without limitation the non-payment of any installment of Rent or any other sum required to be paid by Lessee under the Initial Lease Agreement. The foregoing waiver shall not preclude Lessor from the future exercise of any rights and remedies available to Lessor under this Lease with respect to any non-payment Event of Default (except that certain Event of Default described in subsection (ii) above) in existence and continuing on the

Commencement Date or any Event of Default which occurs or is continuing after the Commencement Date.

4. PERSONAL PROPERTY; SECURITY INTEREST AND LIENS. Lessee covenants and agrees that:

(a) the Equipment is, and shall at all times be and remain, personal or movable property. If requested by Lessor, Lessee shall obtain prior to delivery of any item of Equipment or at any other time reasonably requested by Lessor, a certificate in form satisfactory to Lessor from all parties with a real property interest in the premises where the Equipment may be located waiving any claim with respect to the Equipment, and Lessor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessee from damage claims for injuries to persons or properties caused by Lessor while Lessor is on Lessee's premises.

(b) During the Term of this Lease and until (i) Lessee acquires such Equipment pursuant to Section 18 hereof or (ii) Lessee returns the Equipment to Lessor in compliance with Section 16 hereof, Lessor shall retain title to such Equipment; provided, however, that Lessee and Lessor acknowledge that transactions documented hereunder shall not constitute a "lease" or a "true lease," and instead shall constitute a "lease intended as security, "or "security interest," as the case may be, under Applicable Law (including under the UCC). In furtherance thereof, in order to secure the prompt payment and performance as and when due of all of Lessee's obligations hereunder, Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a first priority security interest in:

(i) the Equipment leased hereunder and all accessions, additions, attachments, replacements, repairs, improvements, substitutions, and accessions thereto; and

(ii) all of Lessee's right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (except to the extent limited by the Subordination Agreement); and

Lessee may not dispose of any of the Equipment, except to the extent expressly provided herein. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes Lessor at any time and from time to time to file in any uniform commercial code jurisdiction any Financing Statement and amendments thereto as Lessor deems appropriate in its sole discretion in order to perfect, protect or vest securely Lessor's interest in the Equipment and the Collateral.

(c) Lessee shall not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to any of the Equipment, title thereto or any interest therein, except those liens that are described in subsection (c) of the definition of Permitted Lien.

(d) Lessee shall not move any item of Equipment leased hereunder from the address set forth on Schedule I without prior written notice to Lessor; Lessee shall not move any item of Equipment outside of the United States of America without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Equipment by a party reasonably acceptable to Lessor, and shall keep the Equipment in good repair, condition and working order, and shall furnish any and all parts, mechanisms and devices required to keep the Equipment in good repair, condition and working order, all at the expense of Lessee. Lessee shall not make or suffer to be made alterations to the Equipment which materially reduce its value.

In making such entry and inspection, Lessor agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize any disturbance to Lessee's operations.

6. USE. Lessee shall use the Equipment in a careful and proper manner and shall comply with and conform to all Applicable Laws, insurance requirements and the operating and maintenance instructions of the manufacturer or Supplier thereof.

7. QUIET ENJOYMENT. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder and subject to Section 6 hereof, Lessor warrants peaceful and quiet use and enjoyment of the Equipment by Lessee against acts of Lessor.

Lessee

understands and acknowledges that Lessor is not in the business of manufacturing, assembling or supplying Equipment or otherwise in the business of being a vendor but is instead solely providing financial accommodations, including lease financing. The Equipment is not to be used, and has not been acquired hereby or under the Initial Lease Agreement, for use in any respect for Lessee's or any other Person's personal or family purposes and, as such, the Equipment does not constitute "consumer goods" as such term is defined under Applicable Law.

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 8 HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED BY LESSOR AND LESSEE AND EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY MADE BY LESSOR IN SECTION 7 HEREOF, ARE INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE EXCLUSION AND NEGATION OF ANY REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTIES, OBLIGATIONS OR WARRANTIES OR LESSOR, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT AND THE RIGHTS, TITLE AND INTEREST BEING CONVEYED HEREIN WITH RESPECT THERETO THAT MAY ARISE PURSUANT TO ANY APPLICABLE LAW NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT. (LESSEE'S INITIALS /s/ LAP).

(b) Lessee agrees that the only representations, warranties, guaranties or indemnities made with respect to the Equipment are those made by the Supplier and/or manufacturer thereof. Lessor and Lessee furthermore understand and agree that the Equipment shall at all times constitute personal property and not fixtures.

Lessee understands, acknowledges and agrees that neither Supplier nor its salesmen or agents is an agent of Lessor or authorized to waive, alter or add to any provision of this Lease.

9. REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES. Lessee represents and warrants for the benefit of Lessor as of the date of acceptance of any item of Equipment for lease under this Lease:

(b) This Lease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Lessee and constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of Lessee enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(c) The entering into and performance of this Lease by Lessee shall not violate any Applicable Law or any provision of Lessee's charter or bylaws or result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any assets of Lessee leased hereunder or on the Equipment pursuant to any instrument or Applicable Law to which Lessee is a party or by which it or its assets may be bound.

(d) There are no pending or threatened actions or proceedings to which Lessee is a party, or otherwise affecting Lessee, before any Government Authority, which if determined against Lessee, either individually or in the aggregate, would adversely affect the financial condition of Lessee, or the ability of Lessee to perform its obligations under, or comply with the terms of, the Lease Documents.

(e) Except as set forth on Schedule III hereto, the Lessee is not in default under any obligation for the payment of borrowed money, for the deferred purchase price of property or for the payment of any rent under any lease agreement which, either individually or in the aggregate, would adversely affect the financial condition of Lessee, or the ability of Lessee to perform its obligations under, or comply with the terms of, the Lease Documents.

The Company Recent SEC Reports (as defined below), as amended if applicable, complied in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the appropriate act and the rules and regulations thereunder. As of their respective dates except as amended or supplemented prior to the date hereof, the Company Recent SEC Reports did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The audited consolidated financial statements of the Lessee included in the Lessee's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 and the unaudited financial statements of the Lessee included in the Lessee's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003 (collectively, the "Company Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis (except as may be indicated therein or in the notes thereto) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Lessee and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the results of their operations and changes in financial position for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of the unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments). The Lessee's Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the Lessee's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003 are collectively referred to as the "Company Recent SEC Reports".

(j) With respect to the Equipment, no filing, recordation or registration of any Financing Statement or other document or instrument was or is necessary in order to cause Lessor to have good, valid and enforceable title with respect thereto.

(k) Intentionally omitted.

(l) Lessee has obtained all Permits necessary to possess and use the Equipment in compliance with and as contemplated by this Lease.

(m) If requested by Lessor, Lessee shall provide an opinion of counsel and other supporting documents with respect to the matters set forth above in this Section 9 and with respect to such other legal matters as Lessor may reasonably request and as related to the purposes of this Lease.

(n) The payment terms described herein are not in any way less favorable in terms of duration or percentage of the payments due under the Initial Lease Agreement than those restructured payments terms received by Trust Company of the West and/or its affiliates (collectively, "TCW"). Further, in connection with the restructure agreement reached between TCW and Lessee, Lessee did not grant TCW any additional collateral or security interest.

10. COVENANTS OF LESSEE. Lessee covenants and agrees as follows:

(a) For so long as any amount of the Amended Principal Balance is outstanding, Lessee will furnish to Lessor the following:

Lessee acknowledges and agrees that (i) its failure to record such Transfer within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice shall be an Event of

Default pursuant to Section 16(a)(ii) hereof and (ii) Lessor's obligations to any Transferee(s) may be secured by Lessor's interest in the Lease and the Equipment.

(d) PROVIDED TRANSFEREE IS NOT IN VIOLATION OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 7 HEREOF, AND ABSENT SUCH TRANSFEREE'S FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES AS AGAINST ANY SUCH TRANSFEREE(S) OF LESSOR, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE THAT LESSEE MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS AGAINST LESSOR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF THIS LEASE, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE.

12. INSURANCE. At all times during the Term of this Lease, Lessee, at its own expense, shall maintain insurance on each item of Equipment against all risks and in such amounts as Lessor shall reasonably require (but not less than the then Stipulated Loss Value of such item with carriers acceptable to Lessor, and shall maintain a loss payable endorsement in favor of Lessor and its successors and assigns affording to Lessor and its successors and assigns such additional protection as Lessor and its successors and assignees shall reasonably require (such as a breach of Lessee's warranty clause), and Lessee shall maintain public liability and property damage insurance with respect to each item of Equipment in amounts satisfactory to Lessor for both personal and property damage. Lessee shall be liable for any deductibles contained in such insurance policies. All such insurance policies shall name Lessor and its successors and Transferees as insureds and shall provide that all amounts payable by reason of loss, theft or damage to the Equipment shall be payable only to Lessor or its designees / assigns and that such policies may not be canceled or altered without at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lessor or its successors and Transferees. Lessee shall furnish Lessor with certificates or other satisfactory evidence of the maintenance of the insurance required hereunder.

13. LOSS AND DAMAGE. Lessee hereby assumes and shall bear the entire risk of loss, damage, theft or destruction, partial or complete, whether or not insured against, of the Equipment from any and every cause whatsoever from the date of delivery of the Equipment to Lessee. No loss, damage, theft or destruction of the Equipment or any part thereof shall relieve Lessee of any obligation under this Lease, which shall continue in full force and effect. In the event that an item of Equipment shall become subject to Total Loss, Lessee shall inform Lessor in writing in regard thereto within ten (10) days after such Total Loss and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, in cash, an amount equal to the then Stipulated Loss Value thereof no later than the earlier of (i) five (5) days after Lessee receives payment for the Total Loss or (ii) within thirty days (30) after Lessee informs Lessor of such Total Loss; provided, however, that such amount shall be reduced if and to the extent that Lessor or any Transferee has received proceeds from the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 12 hereof as a result of such Total Loss, and Lessor agrees that if such insurance proceeds are paid to Lessor after Lessee has paid the Stipulated Loss Value in full, Lessor shall within ten (10) days thereafter reimburse to Lessee the proceeds thereof, such reimbursement not to exceed the Stipulated Loss Value amount paid by Lessee related to such Total Loss. Upon such payment of the Stipulated Loss Value for any item(s) leased hereunder, this Lease shall terminate with respect to such item(s) and Monthly Rent shall thereafter abate proportionately.

14. TAXES AND FEES.

(a) Lessee shall file any necessary reports and returns for, shall pay promptly when due, shall otherwise be liable to reimburse Lessor for, and agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from, all Impositions.

(b) If any report, return or property listing relating to any Imposition is, by Law, required to be filed by, assessed or billed to or paid by, Lessor, Lessee shall do all things required to be done by Lessor (to the extent permitted by Law) in connection therewith and is hereby authorized by Lessor to act on behalf of Lessor in all respects in relation thereto, including the contest or protest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, of the validity of any Imposition, or the amount thereof; provided, however, that Lessor hereby unconditionally reserves the right to revoke such authorization and such revocation shall not affect Lessee's indemnity or other obligations under this Lease, including, without limitation, this Section 14 and Section 17 hereof. Lessor agrees fully to cooperate with Lessee in any such contest, and Lessee agrees promptly to indemnify Lessor for all reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor in the course of such cooperation. An Imposition or claim therefor shall be paid by Lessee, subject to refund proceedings, if failure to pay would adversely affect the title or rights of Lessor in the Equipment or otherwise hereunder. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, if Lessor obtains a refund of any Imposition that has been paid (by Lessee, or by Lessor and for which Lessor has been fully reimbursed by Lessee), Lessor shall promptly pay to Lessee the amount of such refund actually received. Lessee shall cause all billings of such charges to Lessor to be made to Lessor in care of Lessee and shall, in preparing any report or return required by Law, show the ownership of the Equipment in Lessor, and shall send a copy of any such report or return to Lessor. If Lessee fails to pay any such charges when due, except any Imposition being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings (as above provided) for a reasonable period of time, Lessor at its option may do so pursuant to Section 15, in which event the amount so paid shall be payable by Lessee as Supplemental Rent as provided in Section 15.

(c) The provisions of this Section 14 shall not apply to any Impositions (i) that Lessee is contesting in good faith, by appropriate proceedings and as otherwise permitted pursuant to the provisions of this Lease until the conclusion of such contest; except that Lessee's right to contest any Imposition is conditioned upon the existence of such Imposition during any such contest not causing any material danger, as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Equipment.

15. LESSEE'S FAILURE TO PAY TAXES, INSURANCE, ETC. Should Lessee fail to make any tax, insurance or other payment or do any act required to be performed by Lessee as herein provided, Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation and without releasing Lessee from any obligation hereunder, to make or do the same, and to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any Imposition that in the judgment of Lessor affects the Equipment, and, in exercising any such rights, incur any liability and expend whatever amounts in its reasonable discretion Lessor may deem necessary therefor. Provided that Lessor has given Lessee not less than twenty-four (24) hours' notice of its intention to do so all sums so incurred or expended by Lessor (including any penalty incurred as a result of Lessee's failure to perform such obligation or make such payment) shall be due and payable by Lessee within 30 days of Lessor's demand therefor and shall be payable as Supplemental Rent.

16. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

(iii) The subjection of a substantial part of Lessee's property or any part of the Equipment to any Lien other than those liens that are described in subsection (c) of the definition of Permitted Lien unless such Lien has been discharged, satisfied or bonded against within ten (10) business days after the date the Lessee receives actual notice thereof;

(iv) Lessee shall be in default under the terms of any contract with respect to any obligation contingent or otherwise for borrowed money with any Person requiring the payment of money by Lessee in an amount greater than $75,000 (including without limitation the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement to be entered into by and among Parent, Lessee and TCW in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement) unless such default has been waived by the creditor to whom such payment is owed;

(v) In the event that (A) Lessee shall (1) authorize or agree to the commencement of a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency, corporation, receivership or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect that authorized the reorganization or liquidation of such party or its debt or the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, (2) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (3) fail generally or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, (4) take any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing or (5) have an involuntary or other proceeding commenced against it seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period exceeding 60 days; or (B) an order for relief pursuant to such applicable debtor/creditor law shall have been entered against Lessee;

(b) Upon the happening of any of the above Events of Default, Lessor may declare this Lease in Default. Such declaration shall be by written notice to Lessee and if so stated in such notice shall apply to all Equipment leased hereunder. Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor at any time thereafter to enter with notice or without notice and process of law and in compliance with Lessee's security requirements, any premises where the Equipment may be and take possession thereof. Lessee shall, without further demand, forthwith pay to Lessor an amount that is equal to any then due and unpaid Monthly Rent due on or before Lessor has declared this Lease to be in Default plus, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the Stipulated Loss Value of the Equipment on the date the Lessor shall declare this Lease in Default (in each case together with any Excess Use Fee measured from the date the Lease is declared to be in Default to the date payment is received by Lessor).

Lessor shall also be entitled to draw on any letter of credit or take any deposit, in either case theretofore provided by Lessee to secure its obligations hereunder. The proceeds of sale, lease or other disposition of the Equipment, if any, or the proceeds of any letter of credit or deposit, if any, shall be applied (1) to all of Lessor's costs, charges and expenses incurred in taking, removing, holding, repairing and selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of the Equipment (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements); then, (2) to the extent not previously paid by Lessee, to pay Lessor the Stipulated Loss Value for the Equipment as set forth above and all other sums then payable by Lessee hereunder, including any unpaid Rent; then, (3) any remaining amounts shall be paid to Lessee. Lessee shall pay any deficiency for amounts described in clauses (1) and (2) above forthwith. The exercise of any of the foregoing remedies by Lessor shall not constitute a termination of this Lease unless Lessor so notifies Lessee in writing.

No remedy referred to in this Section 16 is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to Lessor at law or in equity.

17. INDEMNITY.

Lessor shall give Lessee prompt notice of any Claim or liability hereby indemnified against and Lessee shall be entitled to control the defense thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the foregoing indemnity obligations shall survive for a period of one year following termination of this Lease.

18. PURCHASE AND SALE. Upon payment in full to Lessor of all amounts due hereunder (including the costs and expenses of Lessor, if any, and applicable Impositions, if any, in connection with such sale or transfer), Lessor will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or warranty and on a "WHERE IS, AS IS" basis, all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Equipment by delivery of a duly executed bill of sale.
