$250,000, which default has been declared, and the party has commenced exercising further rights or remedies under the respective agreement that materially impair the rights of the Lessor with respect to the Collateral or under the Lease Documents;”.

(e)The Rent and Purchase Price payments provided for under Section 3(b) and Section 9 of each Schedule are amended to be equal solely to the Rent payment schedule set forth in attached Exhibit A.

(f)Section 9 of each Schedule is amended to read as follows: “9. END OF TERM.
Following Lessee’s payment in full of all remaining Rent due pursuant to the Lease Documents (which, for the avoidance of doubt, Lessee may elect to pay at any time and without additional premium, penalty, or payment), Lessor shall deliver to Lessee, without additional consideration other than payment of the remaining Rent due pursuant to the Lease Documents, a bill of sale transferring and assigning to Lessee, AS IS, WHERE IS, without recourse or warranty, except (with respect to the status of title conveyed) in respect of Lessor’s acts, all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Equipment. Upon payment in full of all remaining Rent due pursuant to the Lease Documents, Lessor shall release all liens and security interests in all Collateral, and, upon Lessee’s request, shall execute and deliver to Lessee all instruments and other documents as may be necessary or proper to effectuate the foregoing. Lessor shall not be required to make and may specifically disclaim any representation or warranty as to the condition of the Equipment or any other matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease Documents, Lessee may terminate the Lease early at its election following payment in full of all remaining Rent due.”

(g)Section 10 of each Schedule is amended to include the following: “(c) Lessee shall maintain cash and cash equivalents in deposit accounts subject to an account control agreement in favor of Lessor in an amount equal to at least three (3) times the remaining aggregate amount of Rent at such time as set forth on Exhibit A to the Second Amendment to Lease Documents.”
