request any remaining balance of the Security Deposit for this Schedule, without
interest.

Dear Agent:

Before our lease transaction can close, we need a properly executed Certificate
of Insurance or binder covering the equipment we are leasing. Please send proof
immediately of the following insurance requirements in the enclosed
self-addressed envelope.

1.    PHYSICAL DAMAGE: All risk equipment coverage for the replacement cost of
      the equipment being leased, which is estimated to be $6,276,471.00.

2.    LOSS PAYEE: Banc One Leasing Corporation must be named as loss payee on
      the Physical Damage coverage as owners of the equipment during the term of

              $300,000 for all persons in one accident
              $100,000 for property damage liability as a result of one accident

4.    ADDITIONAL INSURED: Banc One Leasing Corporation must be named additional
      insured on the liability coverage only.

</TABLE>

         2. After careful consideration of the Lessor's Cost of the Equipment,
the length of the Lease Term, the physical, technical and performance
characteristics of the Equipment, the anticipated obsolescence, Lessee's
intended use of the Equipment, inflation and all other relevant factors, Lessee
represents that Lessee currently has no reason to believe or expect that the
actual Fair Market Value of the Equipment on the Buyout Date will exceed the
applicable Early Buyout Value set forth in Paragraph 1 above.

         3. This Addendum is hereby made a part of the Schedule. Except as
expressly amended hereby, the Schedule and the Master Lease remain in full force
and effect.
