     with the payment methods provided in the Services Agreement on or before
     the payment dates set forth in the Services Agreement.

     3.   Leased Employees shall have the right to participate in LESSEE
     employee benefit plans, if any, on the same basis as other comparable
     LESSEE employees.

     with FNIS, including without limitation any claimed violations of any
     federal, state, provincial or local laws or regulations.

     the parties and neither party shall have the power to bind the other except
     as provided in the Services Agreement.

     other to enforce this Agreement or because of an alleged breach, or default
     in connection with the provisions hereof, the prevailing party shall be
     entitled to recover its reasonable attorney's fees and other costs incurred
