months following Commencement Date.  At the end of the 36 month term, Customer
shall make a final rental payment listed on the bottom of Schedule B.

If any part of a payment is more than 5 days late, Customer agrees to pay a late

3. TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES. Customer agrees to pay all federal, state, and
local taxes, license and registration fees, freight and transportation charges

based on the Equipment to the appropriate taxing authority and Customer will
reimburse Baxter for all such payments promptly upon request.

4. OWNERSHIP OF EQUIPMENT. Baxter is the owner of the Equipment and has title
to the Equipment.  Customer will sign all UCC financing statements Baxter

month basis for as long as Customer possesses the Equipment and Customer shall
pay Baxter at the rate equal to 100% of the Total Monthly Fee set forth above.

6. WARRANTIES: DISCLAIMER. BAXTER MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
UNLESS THE EQUIPMENT IS USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DIRECTIONS ON THE LABELING
AND THE INSTRUCTIONS ACCOMPANYING THE EQUIPMENT, THE WARRANTIES IN ANY
DESCRIPTIONS OR DIRECTIONS ARE VOID AND OF NO EFFECT.  BAXTER SHALL HAVE NO

(A) the Equipment or (B) this Agreement without Baxter's prior written consent.
Baxter may sell, assign, encumber, or transfer this Agreement to another party
without any consent by or from Customer.

Customer shall return the Equipment to Baxter in the same condition as when it
was delivered to Customer, allowing for normal wear and tear, to such place or

of the Equipment.  Customer agrees to hold Baxter harmless against any and all
damages or injury associated with the selection, possession, operation and use
of the Equipment.

Customer relating to the Equipment and, in the event of conflict, supersedes all
prior agreements, all purchase orders, acknowledgment forms or other written
documents submitted by Customer, and all invoices of Baxter.  It shall not be
