Exhibit 10.1

LEASE AGREEMENT
                                Lease No. 3300

For and in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set
forth, the individual, company or other legal person identified on the signature
page of this Lease as the lessor ("Lessor") and the individual, company or other
legal person identified on the signature page of this Lease as the lessee
("Lessee") hereby agree as follows:

         LEASE. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases from
Lessor, all machinery, equipment, motor vehicles and other property described in
any schedule or schedules executed by the parties, concurrently herewith or
hereafter, which schedules state they are subject to this Lease (collectively,
the "Schedules"). All machinery, equipment, motor vehicles and other property
described in any Schedule and all replacement parts, additions, repairs and
accessories incorporated in, or attached or affixed to, any such property is
collectively referred to in this Lease as the "Equipment."

2. TERM OF LEASE. This lease shall commence on the date it is executed and,
unless sooner terminated by Lessor as provided in Section 19, shall continue
until the total number of "Payments" shown on each Schedule shall have been made
and all amounts Lessee is required to pay under Section 15 (if any) have been
paid.

3. RENT. As rent for the Equipment described on each Schedule, Lessee agrees to
pay to Lessor the sum of (x) the rent payments shown under "Rent Payment" on
that Schedule, multiplied by the total number of "Payments" shown on that
Schedule, plus (y) any additional rent specified on that Schedule, plus (z)
"Interim Rent" amounts payable with respect to the period between the
Commencement Date and the first Rent Payment Due Date, based on a 30-day month
and the number of days between the Commencement Date and the first Rent Payment
Due Date. Payments are to be made on each and every Rent Payment Due Date shown
on the Schedule until the total number of payments have been made. The first
rent payment with respect to each Schedule is due upon (i) Lessee's execution of
a delivery receipt, if the Equipment described in that Schedule is motor
vehicles, or (ii) upon Lessee's acceptance (as described in Section 9) of any
Equipment other than motor vehicles described in that Schedule. Rent shall be
paid on the dates specified in the Schedule at the office of Lessor or to such
other person or at such other place as Lessor may from time to time designate in
writing. In addition to the rent payments described above, Lessee shall pay the
amount of any personal property taxes or other taxes and all maintenance,
insurance and other costs and expenses with respect to the Equipment (including
amounts, if any, required to be paid under Sections 14 and 16 of this Lease). If
Lessee fails to make any such payment or pay any other expense required to be
paid by Lessee pursuant to this Lease, Lessor, at its option, may pay such
expense, which shall constitute additional rent and be due and payable from
Lessee to Lessor upon demand thereof.

4. LATE CHARGE. The Payments described in Section 3 shall be paid when due to
the person entitled to those payments. In the event Lessee's rental payments or
any sum required to be paid to Lessor shall become past due, Lessee agrees to
pay to Lessor, not later than one month thereafter, an amount equal to 5 % of
the scheduled lease payment or twenty dollars ($20.00), whichever is greater,
but only to the extent allowed by law.

5. ESTIMATED COST. The rent payments specified in each Schedule have been
computed on the basis of the total cost of the Equipment to Lessor, as estimated
at the time that Schedule is executed. Total cost includes the cost to Lessor of
purchasing and delivering the Equipment to Lessee, transportation, installation,
and all other charges with respect to the Equipment. Lessee hereby authorizes
Lessor to correct the rent payments to reflect any difference between the actual
cost of the Equipment and the estimated cost.

6. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee has deposited or will deposit with Lessor the sum
shown as "Security Deposit", if any, on each Schedule as a security deposit and
not as advance rent. Lessor may, at its option, apply any security deposit to
cure any default by Lessee under the Lease, in which event Lessee shall promptly
pay a sufficient amount to Lessor to restore the security deposit to the full
amount specified on the Schedule. Upon termination of this Lease, Lessor shall
return any remaining balance of the security deposit, if any, to Lessee if, and
only if, Lessee has fulfilled all of its obligations under the Lease

7. SELECTION OF EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIER. Lessee has selected the Equipment and
the supplier of the Equipment. Lessor agrees to order the Equipment from the
supplier in accordance with Lessor's customary practices, and Lessor shall not
be obligated to lease the Equipment to Lessee unless the supplier fills the
order. Lessor will have no liability because of any delay by the supplier in
filling the order. Lessee will accept the Equipment if delivered in good repair
and authorizes Lessor to add to the Schedules any serial numbers or other
identification of the Equipment when known. Any delay, in the delivery of the
Equipment will not affect the validity of this Lease.

8. WARRANTIES. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE
CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF, THE ABSENCE
OR ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT OR THE LIKE WITH RESPECT TO, OR ANY OTHER MATTER
CONCERNING, THE EQUIPMENT AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY SUCH WARRANTIES OR ANY
OTHER WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW. LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ANY CLAIM IT MIGHT HAVE
AGAINST LESSOR FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR EXPENSE CAUSED

<PAGE>


BY THE EQUIPMENT OR BY ANY DEFECT THEREIN, OR BY THE USE OR MAINTENANCE OF, OR
SERVICING OR ADJUSTMENT TO, THE EQUIPMENT AND, AS TO LESSOR, LEASES THE
EQUIPMENT AS-IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. LESSOR
WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR INTERRUPTION OF OR DAMAGE TO LESSEE'S
BUSINESS ON ACCOUNT OF ANY MECHANICAL FAILURE OR DELAY IN CONNECTION WITH THE
FURNISHING OR USE OF THE EQUIPMENT. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor is not a
dealer or manufacturer of equipment of any kind and is not the seller of the
Equipment, and that each unit of Equipment is of a type, size, design and
capacity selected solely by Lessee. Lessee also acknowledges that Lessor
supplies the Equipment without any obligation to install, test, erect, service
or maintain the Equipment. If the Equipment is not properly installed, does not
operate as represented or warranted by the manufacturer or seller thereof, or is
unsatisfactory for any reason, Lessee shall make any claim on account thereof
solely against the manufacturer or seller and no such occurrence shall relieve
Lessee of any of its obligations under this Lease. The only warranty applicable
to any Equipment is the manufacturer's warranty, if any (in the case of new
Equipment), and Lessor makes no warranty to Lessee beyond that contained in the
manufacturer's warranty, if any. Lessee acknowledges receipt of the
manufacturer's warranty with respect to any new Equipment. So long as Lessee is
not in default under this Lease, Lessor assigns to Lessee any manufacturer's,
seller's or other warranty, whether express or implied, on the Equipment and any
claim that Lessor may have as owner of the Equipment against the manufacturer or
supplier or any other person. All claims or actions on any warranty shall be
made or prosecuted by Lessee, at its sole expense, and Lessor shall have no
obligation whatsoever to make any claim on such warranty. Any recovery in cash
or cash equivalents under such warranty shall be made payable jointly to Lessee
and Lessor. At Lessor's option, all cash proceeds or cash equivalents from such
warranty recovery may be used to repair or replace the Equipment. Lessee shall
continue to pay rent to Lessor as specified in this Lease, notwithstanding any
claim for breach of warranty.

9. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE BY LESSEE. Upon delivery of the Equipment, Lessee
shall promptly make all necessary inspections and tests of the Equipment in
order to determine whether the Equipment conforms to specifications and is in
good condition and repair. Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor in writing of any
defect or other objection to the type or condition of the Equipment. If Lessee
fails to notify Lessor in writing of any defect in or objection to the Equipment
within ten (10) days after delivery of the Equipment to Lessee, it shall
conclusively be established, as between Lessor and Lessee, that Lessee has fully
inspected the Equipment and that Lessee is satisfied with and has accepted the
Equipment as in good condition and repair for all purposes of this Lease. If
Lessee determines that the Equipment is in good condition and repair before the
expiration of ten (10) days after the Equipment is delivered, and in all events
prior to placing the Equipment in service, Lessee shall execute and deliver to
Lessor a certificate of acceptance in a form satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee's
acceptance of any Equipment with knowledge of a nonconformity cannot be revoked
because of such nonconformity.

10. LOCATION AND RIGHT OF INSPECTION. The Equipment shall be delivered to and,
with the exception of motor vehicles, at all times be located at the address of
Lessee shown on this Lease, or at such other place as shall be mutually agreed
upon in writing between Lessor and Lessee. Any motor vehicles included in
Equipment are leased principally for use in the United States, and will not be
used outside of the United States and Canada. Lessor shall at any and all times
during business hours have the right to enter into and upon the premises where
the Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting the Equipment or
observing its use. Lessee shall not move any equipment other than motor vehicles
from the location to which said Equipment is delivered except with the prior
written consent of Lessor. Lessee shall promptly advise Lessor of any
circumstances with respect to location of the Equipment which may in any manner
affect Lessor's title thereto.

11. USE. The Equipment shall be kept by Lessee in its possession and control.
Lessee shall use the Equipment with due care, and shall comply with all laws,
ordinances or regulations applicable to the use, operation or maintenance of the
Equipment and the requirements of any insurer. Lessee shall put the Equipment
only to the use contemplated by the manufacturer. Lessee shall use any motor
vehicles included in the Equipment only in the course of Lessee's own business,
and shall permit any such vehicles to be operated only by Lessee's agents or
employees or members of Lessee's immediate family who, in each case, are legally
licensed to operate such vehicles. No driver of any motor vehicle included in
the Equipment shall have the authority to act on behalf of Lessor without prior
written authorization from Lessor. If Lessor as owner of any motor vehicle
included in the Equipment receives a notice of a parking or traffic violation
which involves the payment of a fine or penalty, Lessor may (but is not required
to) pay the fine or penalty. If Lessor does so, Lessee will immediately repay
Lessor the amount of fine or penalty and an additional $10 handling and
administrative fee. If any Equipment is confiscated by any public authority, or
if Lessor suffers any damage because of Lessee's use of the Equipment for an
illegal purpose, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount of any such damage and,
in the case of confiscation, the Stipulated Loss Value determined in accordance
with the relevant Schedule(s) and Lessor may, at its option, terminate this
Lease.

12. INDEMNITY. Lessee shall hold Lessor harmless from, and pay to Lessor the
amount of, any fines, penalties or other amounts for which Lessor is held liable
as a result of, and any legal expenses Lessor has arising out of, the use,
condition, ownership or operation of any items of Equipment, including any
claims made under the strict liability doctrine, and as a result of any lien,
encumbrance or claim made on the Equipment by anyone, including Lessee's
employees and agents. Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against and hold Lessor
harmless from, any and all claims, actions, damages (including reasonable
attorneys' fees), obligations, liabilities and liens (including any of the
foregoing arising or imposed without Lessee's fault or negligence, or in
connection with latent or other defects, or any claim for patent, trademark or
copyright infringement or under the doctrine of "strict liability"), imposed or
incurred by or asserted against Lessor or its successors or assigns, arising out
of the manufacture, purchase, lease, possession, operation, condition,

<PAGE>


return or use of the Equipment by operation of law or by Lessee's failure to
comply with the terms of this Lease. Upon written notice by Lessor of the
assertion of any claim hereby indemnified against, Lessee shall assume full
responsibility for the defense thereof. This section shall survive termination
of this Lease.

13. ALTERATIONS, REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. Lessee will, at its expense, keep and
maintain the Equipment in good working order, supply and install all replacement
parts and accessories when required to maintain the Equipment in good working
order, which parts and accessories shall be and become the sole property of
Lessor, and furnish all gasoline, oil, repairs, parts, tires, tubes, batteries,
accessories, service, maintenance and all other items of a similar nature
necessary for the operation of the Equipment. Lessee shall not, without the
prior written consent of Lessor, make any alterations, modifications, additions,
subtractions or improvements to, or mark the Equipment, but if so authorized by
Lessor, any such alterations, modifications, additions or improvements shall
become the property of Lessor and shall be deemed to be a part of the Equipment.
Lessee shall pay all costs required to repair all damage to, or alter, the
Equipment or any accessories, or to make the Equipment conform to any federal,
state or municipal requirements. Lessee shall follow any maintenance program
required or recommended by the manufacturer of the Equipment to make sure that
its warranty remains valid.

14. LICENSING, REGISTRATION AND TAXES. If the Equipment or use of the Equipment
requires licensing by or registration with any governmental authority, Lessee
shall, at its expense, obtain and maintain such license or registration
continuously during the term of this Lease. As additional rent, Lessee shall pay
when due all federal, state or local license and registration fees, assessments,
sales, use, heavy vehicle use, property and other taxes (excluding any tax
measured by Lessor's net income), together with any penalties or interest
applicable thereto, now or hereafter imposed by any governmental authority upon
any item of the Equipment or the rent payable hereunder or by reason of the use,
operation or maintenance of the Equipment. Lessee shall pay all such fees or
taxes whether they are payable by or assessed to Lessor or Lessee but, if under
law or custom such payments shall be made only by Lessor, Lessee shall promptly
notify Lessor and shall reimburse Lessor, upon demand, for all payments thereof
made by Lessor. If by law any such registration, license fee or tax is billed to
Lessor, Lessee, at its expense, will do any and all things required to be done
by Lessor in connection with the licensing or registration procedure and the
levy or assessment of any tax, including the billing or payment thereof. Upon
request, Lessee shall provide Lessor with proof of payment of any such fee or
tax.

15. PURCHASE. Upon the payment of the total number of rent payments specified in
any Schedule under this Lease, Lessee shall (a) Cure any default under this
lease, (b) If there is a dollar amount specified on the "Purchase Option" line
on the Schedule, have the option, upon not less than sixty (60) days prior

Any purchase of any Equipment pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be "as
is, where is", with all faults and without any warranty whatsoever (and Lessor
shall convey the Equipment to Lessee by Bill of Sale containing a disclaimer of
warranties similar to Section 8 above). For purposes of this Lease, "Fair Market
Value" means the Fair Market Value of the Equipment to as determined either (i)
by written agreement of Lessor and Lessee, (ii) at Lessee's expense, by a
professional appraiser acceptable to Lessor , or (iii) if the Fair Market Value
cannot be determined by either of the preceding methods, as determined by Lessor
in a commercially reasonable manner. Lessor may require payment of the Purchase
Option or Purchase Agreement amount at any time not more than thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration of the lease term with respect to the relevant schedule.

16. INSURANCE. Lessee, at its expense, shall procure, maintain and pay for (a)
with respect to any Equipment other than motor vehicles, insurance against the
loss or theft of or damage to the Equipment, for the "Stipulated Loss Value"
determined in accordance with the relevant Schedule(s), naming Lessor and its
assigns as loss payee, (b) comprehensive general liability insurance providing
coverage for bodily injury and property damage with combined single limits of at
least $1 million not subject to an annual aggregate, naming Lessor and its
assigns as an additional insured, and endorsed to act as primary insurance with
respect to Lessor, (c) in the case of motor vehicles included in the Equipment,

the case of motor vehicles included in the Equipment, motor vehicle liability
insurance covering bodily injury or property damage arising out of the
ownership, maintenance or use of the vehicle with combined single limits of at

endorsed to act as primary insurance with respect to Lessor, and (e) any other
insurance required by Lessor or any governmental authority. All such insurance
shall be in form and amount, and provided by an insurer, satisfactory to Lessor.
Lessee shall deliver the policies of insurance or duplicates thereof or
certificates of insurance to Lessor at the time the lease is signed or prior to
the delivery of the Equipment and thereafter thirty (30) days prior to each
policy renewal. Each insurer shall agree by endorsement upon the policy or
policies issued by it or by independent instrument furnished to Lessor that the
insurer will provide thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessor of any
cancellations or non-renewal of the policy or any material change in policy
conditions. Lessee shall comply with all restrictions (including any
geographical limitations) contained in any insurance policies. All insurance
policies shall provide that the insurance shall not be invalidated as to Lessor
by any act, omission or neglect of Lessee. Lessee shall notify Lessor
immediately in writing of any accident involving the Equipment regardless of the

<PAGE>

companies in the investigation, prosecution and defense of claims. The proceeds
of any insurance, at the option of Lessor, shall be applied (aa) toward the
replacement, restoration or repair of the Equipment, or (bb) toward payment of
the obligations of Lessee under this Lease. Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as
Lessee's attorney-in-fact to make claim for, receive payment of, and execute and
endorse all documents, checks or drafts for loss or damage under any such
insurance or pay said fees, assessments, charges and taxes, as the case may be.
In that event Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for the cost thereof upon demand,
and failure to repay the same shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Lease.

17. LOSS AND DAMAGE. Lessee hereby assumes and shall bear the entire risk of
loss, theft, damage or destruction of all or any item of the Equipment from any
cause whatsoever; and no loss, theft, damage or destruction of all or any item
of the Equipment shall relieve Lessee of its obligation to pay rent or of any
other obligation under this Lease, which shall continue in full force and
effect, notwithstanding such loss, theft, damage or destruction. This risk of
loss shall pass to Lessee on the earlier of (i) delivery of the Equipment to a
carrier for shipment to Lessee; (ii) tender of the Equipment to Lessee; or (iii)
acknowledgment by a bailee who holds the Equipment of Lessee's right to
possession of the Equipment. In the event of damage to any item of Equipment,
Lessee shall immediately place the same in good repair (ordinary wear and tear
excepted). If Lessor determines that any item of Equipment is lost, stolen,
destroyed or damaged beyond repair, Lessee, at the option of Lessor, will (a)
replace the same with similar equipment in good repair, or (b) pay Lessor in
cash all of the following: (aa) all amounts then owed by Lessee to Lessor under
this Lease, and (bb) the Stipulated Loss Value of said item of Equipment,

of insurance thereon received by Lessor. Upon Lessor's receipt of such payment,

Equipment, in its then condition and location, without warranties, express or
implied, and this Lease shall be terminated with respect to such item.

     (b) Lessee shall fail to perform or observe any other covenant, condition
or agreement to be performed or observed by it under this Lease and such failure
shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof is
delivered to Lessee by Lessor; or

document or certificate furnished to Lessor in connection with or pursuant to

indebtedness has been issued or by which it is governed and payment of such
indebtedness is accelerated.

19. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default, Lessor shall have all the rights and remedies provided by applicable
law and by this Lease. In addition to the rights and remedies provided by
applicable law, Lessor may, at its option, declare this Lease to be in default.

of any or all items of Equipment without demand or notice where the same may be
located without any court order or process of law and remove the same without
liability for injuries suffered through or loss caused by such repossession, and
such repossession shall not constitute termination of this Lease unless Lessor

to notice and

<PAGE>


judicial hearing with respect to the repossession or attachment of the Equipment
by Lessor in the event of default under this Lease by Lessee; or
     (d) sell or lease any or all items of Equipment at public or private sale
or lease at such time(s) as Lessor may determine and, if notice thereof is
required by law, any notice in writing of such sale or lease by Lessor to Lessee
not less than ten (10) days prior to the date thereof shall constitute
reasonable notice thereof to Lessee; or otherwise dispose of, hold, use,
operate, or keep idle such Equipment, all as Lessor, at its sole discretion, may
determine and all free and clear of any rights of Lessee and without any duty to
account to Lessee for such action or inaction or for any proceeds with respect
thereto; or

under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law or proceed by
appropriate court action to enforce the terms of this Lease, to recover
possession of the Equipment, to recover damages for the breach of this Lease or
to rescind this Lease as to any or all Equipment. Lessor may elect, whether
before or after recovering possession of the Equipment, by written notice to
Lessee, to cause Lessee to pay Lessor as liquidated damages for loss of a
bargain and not as a penalty, and in lieu of all other sums due to Lessor for
the remaining term of this Lease (except any indemnification obligation under
Section 12, which shall survive the payment of the Stipulated Loss Value) on the
date specified in such notice, an amount equal to the rent payment or payments
and other payments under the Lease that are due and payable as of the date of
the written notice, plus a sum equal to the Stipulated Loss Value of the
Equipment, determined as of the date of the written notice in accordance with
the Schedule(s), reduced by any net proceeds of the disposition of the Equipment
which were previously received by the Lessor. In the event Lessor collects the
liquidated damages specified in the preceding sentence and has not previously
sold or re-leased the Equipment, Lessor shall appoint Lessee as Lessor's agent
to dispose of the Equipment at the best price obtainable on an "as is, where is"
basis and Lessee shall be entitled to the proceeds of such sale of the Equipment
to the extent they do not exceed the Stipulated Loss Value and shall pay any
excess to Lessor. Lessee shall pay Lessor all costs and expenses, including
attorneys' fees, incurred by Lessor in exercising any of its rights or remedies
under this Lease or in enforcing any of the terms or conditions of this Lease.
Lessee shall continue to be liable for all indemnities under this Lease and for
all legal fees and other costs and expenses resulting from an event of Default
or the exercise of Lessor's remedies, including placing any Equipment in the
condition required by Section 22 of this Lease, notwithstanding Lessor's
exercise of any right or remedy under this Lease. Except as expressly provided
above, no remedy is 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. The repossession or subsequent sale or lease by Lessor of any item of
Equipment shall not bar an action for a deficiency as herein provided and the
bringing of any action or the entry of judgment against Lessee shall not bar
Lessor's right to repossess any or all items of Equipment. No express or implied
waiver by Lessor of any default shall constitute a waiver of any other default
by Lessee or a waiver of any of Lessor's rights. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, Lessee hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by
statute or otherwise which may require Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use
any Equipment in mitigation of Lessor's damages as set forth in this Section 19
or may otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor's rights or remedies under this
Section 19.

ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEASE AND AGREES THAT ANY STATE COURT ACTION SHALL

20. ASSIGNMENT. Lessee shall not assign, pledge or hypothecate this Lease in
whole or in part, nor any interest in this Lease, nor shall Lessee sublet or
lend any item of the Equipment, nor pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber the
Equipment or permit it to be encumbered, without the prior written consent of
Lessor. Lessee's interest herein may not be assigned or transferred by operation
of the law. Consent to any of the foregoing acts shall not be deemed to be
consent to any subsequent similar act. Lessor may assign this Lease or mortgage
the Equipment or both in whole or in part, without notice to Lessee. If Lessee
is given notice of such assignment, it shall acknowledge receipt of that notice
in writing. Each assignee or mortgagee from Lessor shall have all of the rights,
but none of the obligations, of Lessor under this Lease. Lessee shall not assert
against any assignee and/or mortgagee any defense, counterclaim or offset that
Lessee may have against Lessor. Upon receipt from Lessor of written notice of
assignment, Lessee will pay to the assignee any portion of the rent assigned to
the assignee. Lessee's obligation to pay rent to the assignee shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be subject to any defense or offset and said
obligations shall continue until Lessee receives a written notice from the
assignee that all indebtedness secured by such assignment has been paid in full.
Notwithstanding any assignment, Lessor warrants that Lessee shall quietly enjoy
use of the Equipment, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Subject
to this Section 20, this Lease inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the
heirs, legatees, personal representatives, successors and assigns of Lessor and
Lessee.

21.OWNERSHIP. The Equipment is and shall at all times remain the sole and
exclusive property of Lessor. Lessee shall have no right, title or interest
therein or thereto except as expressly set forth in this Lease. Lessee has no
right, title or interest in the property except as Lessee. The Equipment shall
remain personal property regardless of whether it becomes affixed or attached to
real property, or permanently rests upon any real property or any improvement
thereon. Lessee shall not attach the Equipment to any personal or real property
so as to cause the property to become an accession or fixture thereto or take
any action which would confer upon any person having an interest in such real or
personal property an interest in the Equipment. Lessee agrees to execute all
such agreements and other documents, and to obtain the execution thereof, in
recordable form, by all parties having an interest in any real property to

<PAGE>


which any of the Equipment is affixed, as Lessor may, from time to time,
reasonably request with respect to the identity of the Equipment as personal
property, and Lessee further consents to the recordation of all such agreements
and documents. Lessee shall affix to the Equipment and maintain thereon such
labels, plates or decals as may be provided by Lessor, or conspicuously mark the
Equipment with such language as Lessor may reasonably request, to the effect
that such Equipment is owned by Lessor. Lessor is hereby authorized at Lessee's
expense to cause this Lease or any financing statement in respect thereto,
showing the interest of Lessor in the Equipment. to be filed or recorded with
any governmental office deemed appropriate by Lessor. A carbon, photographic or
other reproduction of this Lease or any financing statement filed pursuant to
this Lease may be filed by Lessor as a financing statement. Lessee shall execute
all documents requested by Lessor to effect any filing.

22. SURRENDER. Upon expiration of this Lease with respect to each unit of
Equipment, Lessee shall (unless Lessee shall have exercised an option, or have
been required, to purchase such unit of Equipment and shall have paid all
amounts payable pursuant to Section 15 with respect thereto) return each unit of
Equipment to Lessor free of all advertising or insignia placed thereon by
Lessee, and in good condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear
resulting from the proper use of the Equipment excepted). Absence or
malfunctioning of a catalytic converter or other pollution control equipment
with respect to any motor vehicle included in the Equipment shall not be
considered ordinary wear and tear. Lessee shall return the Equipment, in
accordance with Lessor's instructions, either (a) by delivering the Equipment at
Lessee's sole cost and expense, to any location selected by Lessor, within the
county to which the Equipment was moved with Lessor's consent, to the nearest
office of Lessor, or the location identified on the relevant Schedule for return
of the Equipment (whichever of the foregoing is selected by Lessor at its sole
discretion); or (b) by loading the Equipment on board any carrier designated by
Lessor and shipping the same, freight collect, to a destination selected by
Lessor. If Lessee fails to return a unit of Equipment to Lessor at the
expiration of this Lease, Lessee shall pay rent at the rate stated on the
Schedule until the Equipment is returned to Lessor. This provision shall not be
construed to be right of renewal, or to authorize Lessee to retain the Equipment
after the expiration of the Lease.

23. NO OFFSET; IRREVOCABLE AND INDEPENDENT PROMISES. Upon Lessee's acceptance of
any Equipment, Lessee's promises to pay rent and perform all other obligations
with respect to such Equipment shall become irrevocable and independent, and
shall not be subject to cancellation, termination, modification, repudiation,
excuse or substitution without the consent of Lessor or any assignee. Lessee
hereby waives any and all existing and future claims and offsets against any
rent or other payments due hereunder, and agrees to pay the rent and other
amounts due hereunder regardless of any offset or claim which may be asserted by
Lessee or on its behalf against Lessor or any other person. This is a net lease
and rent due under this Lease shall not be subject to abatement for any reason
whatsoever. Lessee hereby further acknowledges that the manufacturer or vendor
of the Equipment and their agents and employees were at no time and are not now
the agents or under the supervision of Lessor, and that Lessor was not and is
not the agent of the manufacturer or vendor.

24. WAIVERS. No waiver of Lessee's obligations, conditions or covenants shall be
deemed to take place unless the waiver is in writing and signed by Lessor.
Failure to exercise any remedy which Lessor may have under this Lease or any
acquiescence in the default of Lessee by Lessor shall not constitute a waiver of
any obligation of Lessee, including the obligation as to which Lessee is in
default; and Lessor shall be entitled to pursue any remedy available to it under
this Lease until Lessee has rendered complete performance of all obligations
under this Lease.

25. FINANCIAL AND OTHER REPORTS. During the term of this Lease, Lessee shall
furnish Lessor with annual financial statements within one hundred twenty (120)
days after the end of Lessee's fiscal year, and Lessee shall provide Lessor such
other financial information as Lessor may from time to time request, including,
without limitation, any reports filed with federal or state regulatory agencies.
Lessee hereby warrants and represents that all financial statements previously
delivered or to be delivered to Lessor by or on behalf of Lessee, and any
statements and data submitted in writing to Lessor in connection with this
Lease, are or will be true and correct and did or will fairly present the
financial condition of Lessee for the periods involved.

26. MASTER LEASE. In the event Lessor shall hereafter lease to Lessee additional
Equipment, the Equipment shall be described on a Schedule executed by the
parties which shall refer to this Lease. Each Schedule shall, in addition to
describing the Equipment to be leased thereunder, set forth the term of the
Lease with respect to that Equipment, the amount of rent, the manner of payment
of the rent, the number of rent payments, the commencement of the rent payments,
the amount of any security deposit and the stipulated loss value with respect to
that Equipment, whether Lessee has the option, or shall be required, to purchase
the Equipment and at what price, and may include other provisions. Each such
Schedule when executed by the parties shall be deemed to be a part of this
Lease, and all of the provisions of this Lease, except such provisions as may be
explicitly amended by a Schedule, shall govern such Schedule(s), it being
understood and agreed that this Lease shall be the Master Lease.

27. CROSS DEFAULT. Lessee hereby agrees that any default by Lessee in the
payment of rent or performance of any other term or condition of any lease
between Lessor and Lessee, or under any Schedule, whether previously or
hereafter entered into, shall at the option of Lessor constitute an Event of
Default in all Leases or Schedules, including this Lease between Lessor and
Lessee, and that thereupon the provisions of Section 19 above shall be
applicable.

28. NOTICES. All notices required or permitted under this Lease shall be
sufficient if delivered personally or mailed to the party receiving the notice
at the address set forth below that party's signature, or at such other address
as either party may designate in

<PAGE>


writing delivered to the other party from time to time. Any such notice shall be
effective upon delivery or forty-eight (48) hours after it has been deposited in
the United States mail, duly addressed and postage prepaid.

29. MISCELLANEOUS. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES, AND AGREES THAT THIS LEASE IS INTENDED
AS A "FINANCE LEASE" AS DETERMINED IN MINN. STAT. SECTION 336.2A-103(l)(G), AND
THAT LESSOR IS ENTITLED TO ALL BENEFITS, PRIVILEGES AND PROTECTIONS OF A LESSOR
UNDER A FINANCE LEASE. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the
parties and embodies any oral representations, negotiations or agreement made in
connection herewith. If more than one party executes this Lease as Lessee, all
obligations to be performed by Lessee shall be the joint and several liability
of all such parties. Wherever the context permits, Lessee's representations,
warranties and covenants under this Lease shall survive the delivery and return
of the Equipment. Any provision of this Lease which may be determined by
competent authority to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective, to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Lease,
and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee hereby waives any provision of
law which renders any provision of this Lease prohibited or unenforceable in any
respect. No term or provision of this Lease may be changed, waived, discharged
or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against which the enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is
sought. To the extent that payments hereunder do constitute interest, the
parties agree that any interest to be paid the Lessor shall in no contingency
exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If under any
circumstances whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Lessor at a
rate in excess of that permitted under applicable law, then the interest payable
to Lessor shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law,
and if under any circumstance Lessor shall ever receive anything of value deemed
interest by applicable law which would exceed interest at the highest lawful
rate, any amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the
reduction of the principal amount of the obligation owing to Lessor and not to
the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid
principal amount of such obligation, such excess shall be refunded to the
Lessee. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lessor shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread
throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal amount of the
obligations owing to the Lessor so that the rate of interest thereon for such
full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.
Nothing herein contained shall give or convey to Lessee any right, title or
interest in and to any Equipment leased hereunder except as Lessee.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT FOR INCOME TAX
PURPOSES ONLY, LESSOR IS TREATING LESSEE AS OWNER OF THE EQUIPMENT AND THAT
LESSEE HAS NEITHER SOUGHT NOR RECEIVED TAX ADVICE FROM LESSOR AS TO THE
AVAILABILITY TO LESSEE OF ANY TAX BENEFITS WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT. In the
event this lease is construed by a court as a security agreement rather than as
a lease (which is hereby declared contrary to the intent of the parties), Lessee
hereby grants Lessor a first priority security interest in the Equipment free
and clear of any other liens, encumbrances or security interests and agrees to
execute any financing statements, fixture filings or other instruments necessary
or expedient for filing, recording or perfecting the interest and title of
Lessor and any assignee of Lessor at the request of Lessor, and all costs
incurred in connection therewith (including, without limitation, filing fees and
taxes) shall be paid by Lessee. The captions in this Lease are for convenience
of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions
hereof. As used in this Lease, the term "Lease' shall include all exhibits and
schedules related to this Lease. The neuter includes the masculine or feminine,
the singular includes the plural. and the word "Lessor" includes all assignees
of Lessor. THIS LEASE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS (BUT NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE
OF MINNESOTA, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.
Time is of the essence hereof. Lessee's obligations hereunder shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination thereof. This Lease shall not become effective
or binding until executed by Lessor at its place of business in Eden Prairie,
Minnesota. Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of any changes in Lessee's
address. Lessee warrants and agrees that the Equipment is leased and will be
used for business purposes only and that the Equipment will not be used for
personal, family or household purposes.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessor and Lessee have executed this Lease the 15th day of
May, 2000.
