                             MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT

THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT, dated as of September __, 2004 ("AGREEMENT"),
between CEF 2002, LLC with an office at 401 Merritt Seven, Norwalk, Connecticut
06851-1177 (hereinafter called, together with its successors and assigns, if
any, "Lessor"), and WESTERN EXPRESS, INC., a Tennessee corporation with its
mailing address and chief place of business at 7135 Centennial Place, Nashville,
Tennessee 37029 (hereinafter called "LESSEE").

                                   WITNESSETH:

1.   LEASING:

     (a) This Agreement shall be effective from and after the date of execution
hereof. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Lessor agrees to
lease to Lessee, and Lessee agrees to lease from Lessor, the Equipment described
in Annex A to any schedule signed by both parties pursuant hereto in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit No. 1 (collectively, the
"Schedule"). Terms defined in a Schedule and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in such Schedule. Certain definitions are
provided in Section 23 hereof.

     (b) The obligation of Lessor to purchase Equipment from the manufacturer or
supplier thereof ("SUPPLIER") and to lease the same to Lessee under any Schedule
shall be subject to receipt by Lessor, prior to the Basic Term Commencement Date
(with respect to such Equipment), of each of the following documents in form and
substance satisfactory to Lessor: (i) a Schedule relating to the Equipment then
to be leased hereunder, (ii) a Purchase Order Assignment and Consent in the form
of Annex B to the applicable Schedule ("Purchase ORDER ASSIGNMENT"), unless
Lessor shall have delivered its purchase order for such Equipment, (iii)
evidence of insurance which complies with the requirements of Section 10 hereof,
(iv) a Remarketing Support Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit No. 2 ("REMARKETING SUPPORT AGREEMENT"), together with a Notice and
Acknowledgment of Assignment with respect thereto, executed by Lessee and Volvo
Trucks North America, Inc. ("VTNA"), (v) an appraisal in form and substance, and
by an appraiser, satisfactory to Lessor, with respect to the Equipment to be
acquired from Lessee then to be leased hereunder, and (vi) such opinions,
certificates and other documents as Lessor reasonably may request. As a further
condition to such obligations of Lessor, Lessee shall, upon delivery of such
Equipment (but not later than the Last Delivery Date specified in the applicable
Schedule) execute and deliver to Lessor a Certificate of Acceptance (in the form
of Annex C to the applicable Schedule) covering such Equipment, and deliver to
Lessor a bill of sale therefor (in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor)
from the Supplier. Lessor hereby appoints Lessee its agent for inspection and
acceptance of the Equipment. Upon execution by Lessee of any Certificate of
Acceptance, the Equipment described thereon shall be deemed to have been
delivered to, and irrevocably accepted by, Lessee for lease hereunder.

2.   TERM, RENT AND PAYMENT:

     (a) The rent payable hereunder (the "RENT") and Lessee's right to use the
Equipment shall commence on the date of execution by Lessee of the Certificate
of Acceptance for such Equipment ("LEASE COMMENCEMENT DATE"). The term of this
Agreement (the "Term") shall be the period specified in the applicable Schedule.
If any Term is extended, the word "Term" shall be deemed to refer to all
extended terms, and all provisions of this Agreement shall apply during any
extended terms, except as otherwise may be specifically provided in writing.

     (b) Rent shall be paid to Lessor by check (accompanied by a copy of
Lessor's invoice) sent to: P.O. Box 640387, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15264-0378;
or to such other account as Lessor may direct in writing; and shall be effective
upon receipt. Payments of Rent shall be in the amount set forth in, and due in
accordance with, the provisions of the applicable Schedule. If one or more
Advance Rentals are payable, such Advance Rental shall be (i) set forth on the
applicable Schedule, (ii) due upon acceptance by Lessor of such Schedule, and
(iii) when received by Lessor, applied to the first Rent payment and the
balance, if any, to the final Rent payment(s) under such Schedule. In no event
shall any Advance Rental or any other Rent payments be refunded to Lessee. If
Rent is not paid within ten (10) days of its due date, Lessee agrees to pay a
late charge of Five Cents ($0.05)
<PAGE>
per dollar on, and in addition to, the amount of such Rent but not exceeding
the lawful maximum, if any.

3.   RENT ADJUSTMENT:

     (a) The periodic Rent payments in each Schedule have been calculated on the
assumption (which, as between Lessor and Lessee, is mutual) that the maximum
effective Federal corporate income tax rate (including any surcharge but
exclusive of any minimum tax rate) for calendar-year taxpayers ("EFFECTIVE
RATE") will be thirty-five percent (35%) for each year of the Term.

     (b) If, solely as a result of Congressional enactment of any law
(including, without limitation, any modification of, or amendment or addition
to, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as now or hereafter amended ("Code"), the
Effective Rate is higher than thirty-five percent (35%) for 2004 or any
subsequent year during the Term, then Lessor shall have the right to increase
such Rent payments by requiring payment of a single additional sum equal to the
product of (i) the Effective Rate (expressed as a decimal) for such year less
..35 (or, in the event that any adjustment has been made hereunder for any
previous year, the Effective Rate (expressed as a decimal) used in calculating
the next previous adjustment), times (ii) the adjusted Stipulated Loss Value
divided by the difference between the new Effective Rate (expressed as a
decimal) and one (1). The adjusted Stipulated Loss Value shall be the Stipulated
Loss Value (calculated as of the first Rent due in the year for which such
adjustment is being made) less the product of the Tax Benefits that would be
allowable under Section 168 of the Code (as of the first day of the year for
which such adjustment is being made and all subsequent years of the Term) times
the Effective Rate (expressed as a decimal) (in the year for which such
adjustment is being made). Lessee shall pay to Lessor the full amount of the
additional Rent payment on the later of (i) receipt of notice, or (ii) the first
day of the year for which such adjustment is being made.

4.   TAXES:

     Except as provided in Sections 3 and 15(c) hereof, Lessee shall have no
liability for taxes imposed by the United States of America or any State or
political subdivision thereof which are on or measured by the net income of
Lessor. Lessee shall report (to the extent that it is legally permissible) and
pay promptly all other taxes, fees and assessments due, imposed, assessed or
levied against any Equipment (or the purchase, ownership, delivery, leasing,
possession, use or operation thereof), this Agreement (or any Rents or receipts
hereunder), any Schedule, Lessor or Lessee by any foreign, federal, state or
local government or taxing authority during or related to the term of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, all license and registration fees, and
all sales, use, personal property, excise, gross receipts, franchise, stamp or
other taxes, imposts, duties and charges, together with any penalties, fines or
interest thereon (all hereinafter called "Taxes"). Lessee shall (i) reimburse
Lessor (on an after-tax basis) upon receipt of written request for
reimbursement for any Taxes charged to or assessed against Lessor, (ii) on
request of Lessor, submit to Lessor written evidence of Lessee's payment of
Taxes, (iii) on all reports or returns show the ownership of the Equipment by
Lessor, and (iv) send a copy thereof to Lessor.

5.   REPORTS:

     (a) Lessee will notify Lessor in writing, within ten (10) days after any
tax or other Lien shall attach to any Equipment, of the full particulars thereof
and of the location of such Equipment on the date of such notification.

     (b) Lessee will deliver to Lessor, as soon as available and in any event
within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of
Lessee, audited annual consolidated and consolidating financial statements of
Lessee, including the notes thereto, consisting of a consolidated and
consolidating balance sheet at the end of such completed fiscal year and the
related consolidated consolidating statements of income, retained earnings, cash
flows and owners' equity for such completed fiscal year, which financial
statements shall be prepared and certified without qualification by Crowe Chizek
and Company LLC or another independent certified public accounting firm
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and accompanied by related management letters,
if available. Lessee will deliver to Lessor, as soon as available and in any
event within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, unaudited
consolidated and consolidating financial statements of Lessee consisting of a
balance sheet and statements of income, retained earnings, cash flows and
owners' equity as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar month,
certified by the chief financial officer of Lessee. All such financial
statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP")
<PAGE>
consistently applied with prior periods. With each such financial statement,
Lessee shall also deliver a certificate of its chief financial officer stating
that (1) such person has reviewed the relevant terms of the Documents and the
condition of Lessee, (2) no Default or event which, with the giving of notice or
the lapse of time (or both) would become a Default has occurred or is
continuing, or if any of the foregoing has occurred or is continuing, specifying
the nature and status and period of existence thereof and the steps taken or
proposed to be taken with respect thereto, and (3) Lessee is in compliance with
all financial covenants specified in Section 17(b)(3) hereof. Such certificate
shall be accompanied by the calculations necessary to show compliance with the
financial covenants, in a form satisfactory to Lessor.

     (c) Lessee will promptly and fully report to Lessor in writing if any
Equipment is lost, stolen or damaged (where the estimated repair costs would
exceed the greater of $20,000 or twenty percent (20%) of the Capitalized
Lessor's Cost of such item of Equipment), or is otherwise involved in an
accident causing personal injury or property damage.

     (d) Within thirty (30) days after any request by Lessor, Lessee will
furnish a certificate of an authorized officer of Lessee stating that he has
reviewed the activities of Lessee and that, to the best of his knowledge, there
exists no Default or event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time
(or both), would become a Default.

     (e) Lessee will promptly notify Lessor of any change in Lessee's state of
incorporation or organization.

     (f) Lessee will promptly, and in any event within seven (7) days after
Lessee or any authorized officer of Lessee obtains knowledge thereof, notify
Lessor in writing of: (1) any pending or threatened litigation, suit,
investigation, arbitration, dispute resolution proceeding or administrative
proceeding brought or initiated by Lessee or otherwise affecting or involving or
relating to Lessee or any of its property or assets to the extent (A) the amount
in controversy exceeds $500,000 (provided that for any litigation relating to an
individual motor vehicle accident, to the extent the amount in controversy
exceeds $2,000,000), or (B) to the extent any of the foregoing seeks injunctive
or declarative relief; (2) any Default or event which, with the giving of notice
or the lapse of time (or both) would become a Default, which notice shall
specify the nature and status thereof, the period of existence thereof and what
action is proposed to be taken with respect thereto; (3) any other development,
event, fact, circumstance or condition that would reasonably be likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect, in each case describing the nature and status thereof
and the action proposed to be taken with respect thereto; (4) any notice
received by Lessee from any payor of a claim, suit or other action such payor
has, claims or has filed against Lessee; (5) any matter(s) affecting the
Equipment, including, without limitation, claims or disputes in the amount of
$100,000 or more in existence at any one time; (6) any notice given by Lessee to
any lender of Lessee, which notice to Lessor shall be accompanied by a copy of
the applicable notice given to the lender; or (7) receipt of any notice or
request from any Governmental Authority or governmental payor regarding any
liability or claim of liability.

6.   DELIVERY, USE AND OPERATION:

     (a) All Equipment shall be shipped directly from the Supplier to Lessee.

     (b) Lessee agrees that the Equipment will be used by Lessee solely in the
conduct of its business and in a manner complying with all Applicable Laws and
any applicable insurance policies, and Lessee shall not permanently discontinue
use of the Equipment.

     (c) Lessee shall not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer
to exist, any Lien on or with respect to the Equipment or any part thereof,
title thereto, or any interest of Lessor therein, or in this Agreement, except
Permitted Liens. Lessee will promptly, at its own expense, take or cause to be
taken such action as may be necessary to discharge any Lien with respect to the
Equipment which is not a Permitted Lien.

     (d) Lessee shall permit any Person designated by Lessor, during normal
business hours upon reasonable notice to visit, inspect and survey the
Equipment, its condition, use and operation, and the records maintained in
connection therewith. None of Lessor or any of its designees shall have any duty
to make any such inspection and shall not incur any liability or obligation by
reason of not making any such inspection. The failure
<PAGE>
of any such party to object to any condition or procedure observed or observable
in the course of an inspection hereunder shall not be deemed to waive or modify
any of the terms of this Agreement with respect to such condition or procedure.

     (e) Lessee will use the Equipment, and cause the Equipment to be used,
solely within the Continental United States (provided, however, that, without
limiting Lessee's indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 15(c) hereof,
Lessee may use the Equipment, or cause the Equipment to be used, on an
occasional basis in Canada so long as such use does not cause the Equipment to
be deemed to constitute tangible property "used predominantly outside the United
States", within the meaning of the Code); and will not change the principal
garage location of any of the Equipment from the principal garage location
specified in the applicable Schedule without the prior written consent of
Lessor. Upon Lessor's request, Lessee promptly will notify Lessor in writing of
the state in which each item of the Equipment is titled, is registered and the
license plate number of such item of Equipment.

     (f) Lessee will promptly apply for a certificate of title for each item of
the Equipment, reflecting Lessor as owner, and for a certificate of registration
issued in the name of Lessee or, if required by the titling authority, in the
name of Lessor in care of Lessee. Certificates of title shall be delivered to
Lessor upon receipt. Lessee shall take such action as shall be necessary from to
time to avoid suspension or revocation of any certificate of title with respect
to the Equipment, and to renew and maintain all certificates of registration
with respect to the Equipment. If Lessee is required to obtain a new certificate
of title or certificate of registration, after prior written notice to Lessor,
Lessee shall obtain such new certificate of title or certificate of registration
as provided herein.

7.   MAINTENANCE:

     (a) Lessee will, at its sole expense, maintain each unit of Equipment in
good operating order, repair, condition and appearance in accordance with the
requirements of Annex E to the Schedule, manufacturer's recommendations (normal
wear and tear excepted) and Lessee's standard practices (but in no event less
than industry practices). Lessee's maintenance programs shall be subject to
review by Lessor. Lessee shall, if at any time reasonably requested by Lessor,
affix in a prominent position on each unit of Equipment plates, tags or other
identifying labels showing the interest therein of Lessor.

     (b) Lessee will not, without the prior consent of Lessor, affix or install
any accessory, equipment or device on any Equipment if such addition will impair
the value, originally intended function, remaining useful life or use of such
Equipment. All additions, repairs, parts, supplies, accessories, equipment, and
devices furnished, attached or affixed to any Equipment which are not readily
removable shall be made only in compliance with Applicable Law, including
Internal Revenue Service guidelines, shall be free and clear of all Liens and
shall become the property of Lessor.

     (c) Lessee shall maintain the Equipment in compliance with all Applicable
Laws. Any alterations or modifications to the Equipment that may, at any time
during the term of this Agreement, be required to comply with all Applicable
Laws, shall be made at the expense of Lessee, and shall be free and clear of all
Liens and shall become the property of Lessor.

8.   CASUALTY OCCURRENCE:

     Lessee shall promptly and fully notify Lessor in writing if any unit of
Equipment shall be or become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, irreparably
damaged in the reasonable determination of Lessee, or permanently rendered unfit
for use from any cause whatsoever (such occurrences being hereinafter called
"CASUALTY OCCURRENCES"). On the Rent Payment Date next succeeding a Casualty
Occurrence (the "PAYMENT DATE"), Lessee shall either (as selected by Lessee):

     (a) replace the unit of Equipment having suffered the Casualty Occurrence
with equipment of comparable make and model, having an equal or greater current
value (but same estimated residual value) and utility, free and clear of all
Liens and shall deliver to Lessor a confirmation executed by VTNA that such
replacement unit is subject to the Remarketing Support Agreement, a bill of
sale, a Schedule, such UCC financing statements or statements of amendment and
such other documents, instruments, filings and/or
<PAGE>
certificates as reasonably may be required by Lessor with respect to such
replacement Equipment; or

     (b) pay Lessor the sum of (x) the Stipulated Loss Value of such unit
calculated in accordance with Annex D as of the Rent Payment Date next preceding
such Casualty Occurrence; and (y) all Rent and other amounts which are due
hereunder as of the Payment Date. Upon payment of all sums due hereunder, the
term of this lease as to such unit shall terminate and (except in the case of
the loss, theft or complete destruction of such unit) Lessor shall be entitled
to recover possession of such unit.

9.   LOSS OR DAMAGE:

     Lessee hereby assumes and shall bear the entire risk of any loss, theft,
damage to, or destruction of, any unit of Equipment from any cause whatsoever
from the time the Equipment is shipped to Lessee.

10.  INSURANCE:

     (a) Coverage. Without limiting any of the other obligations or liabilities
of Lessee under this Agreement, Lessee shall, during the Term of this
Agreement, carry and maintain, at its own expense, at least the minimum

maintain any other insurance that Lessor may reasonably require from time to
time. All insurance carried pursuant to this Section 10 shall be placed with

with terms, conditions, limits, deductibles and self-insured retentions as shall
be acceptable to Lessor.

          (i) All Risk Property Insurance. Lessee shall maintain all risk
     property insurance covering against physical loss or damage to the
     Equipment, including but not limited to fire and extended coverage,

     not be limited to, premises/operations, explosion, collapse, underground
     hazards, sudden and accidental pollution, contractual liability,
     independent contractors, products/completed operations, property damage and
     personal injury liability. Such insurance shall not contain an exclusion
     for punitive or exemplary damages where insurable by law. Policy limit
     requirements may be satisfied by any combination of primary and
     excess/umbrella insurance; and,

          (iii) Workers' Compensation/Employer's Liability. Lessee shall
     maintain Workers' Compensation insurance in accordance with statutory
     provisions covering accidental injury, illness or death of an employee of
     Lessee while at work or in the scope of his employment with Lessee and
     Employer's Liability in an amount not less than $1,000,000. Policy limit
     requirements for Employer's Liability may be satisfied by any combination
     of primary and excess/umbrella insurance. Such coverage shall not contain
     any occupational disease exclusions; and,

          (iv) Automobile Liability. Lessee shall maintain Automobile Liability
     insurance covering owned, non-owned, leased, hired or borrowed vehicles
     against bodily injury or property damage. Such coverage shall have a limit

     any combination of primary and excess/umbrella insurance; and,

          (v) Cargo Insurance: Lessee shall maintain Cargo/Bailee and, if
     necessary, Warehousemen's insurance in an amount not less than $500,000
     covering the liabilities of Lessee assumed under a bill of lading, shipping
     receipt, warehousing, etc., while goods are in the care, custody and
     control of Lessee either in transit or at its warehouse or terminal
     locations; and,

     (b) Endorsements. Lessee shall cause all insurance policies carried and
maintained in accordance with this Section 10 to be endorsed as follows:

          (i) Lessor shall be an additional named insured and loss payee with
     respect to property
<PAGE>
     insurance policies described in Section 10(a)(i). Lessor shall be an
     additional insured with respect to liability insurance policies described
     in Sections 10(a)(ii), (a)(iii) to the extent allowed by law, and (a)(iv).
     It shall be understood that any obligation imposed upon Lessee, including
     but not limited to the obligation to pay premiums, shall be the sole
     obligation of Lessee and not that of Lessor; and,

          (ii) with respect to property insurance policies described in Section
     10(a)(i), the interests of Lessor shall not be invalidated by any action or
     inaction of Lessee, or any other person, and shall insure Lessor regardless
     of any breach or violation by Lessee or any other person, of any
     warranties, declarations or conditions of such policies; and,

          (iii) inasmuch as the liability policies are written to cover more
     than one insured, all terms conditions, insuring agreements and
     endorsements, with the exception of the limits of liability, shall operate
     in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each
     insured; and,

          (iv) the insurers thereunder shall waive all rights of subrogation
     against Lessor, any right of setoff or counterclaim, and any other right to
     deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise; and,

          (v) such insurance shall be solely responsible to respond to Lessee's
     losses (primary) without right of contribution of any other insurance
     carried by or on behalf of Lessor as it relates to the Equipment; and,

          (vi) if such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever,
     including nonpayment of premium, or any changes are initiated by Lessee or
     carrier which affect the interests of Lessor, such cancellation or change
     shall not be effective as to Lessor until thirty (30) days, except for
     non-payment of premium which shall be ten (10) days, after receipt by
     Lessor of written notice sent by registered mail from such insurer.

     (c) Certifications. On the date of execution of the initial Schedule, and
at each policy renewal, but not less than annually, Lessee shall provide to
Lessor approved certification from each insurer or by an authorized
representative of each insurer. Such certification shall identify the
underwriters, the type of insurance, the limits, deductibles, and term thereof
and shall specifically list the special provisions delineated in Section 10(b)
above for such insurance under this Section 10 pursuant hereto.

     (d) Insurance Report. Concurrently with the furnishing of all certificates
referred to in this Section 10, Lessee shall furnish Lessor with an opinion from
an independent insurance broker, acceptable to Lessor, stating that (1) all
premiums then due have been paid, (2) in the opinion of such broker, the
insurance then maintained by Lessee is in accordance with this Section, and (3)
upon its first knowledge, such broker shall advise Lessor promptly in writing of
any default in the payment of any premiums or any other act or omission, on the
part of any person, which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or
in part, any insurance provided by Lessee hereunder.

     (e) Adjustment of Losses. Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as Lessee's
attorney-in-fact to make proof of loss and claim for insurance, and to make
adjustments with insurers and to receive payment of and execute or endorse all
documents, checks or drafts in connection with payments made as a result of such
insurance policies. Any expense of Lessor in adjusting or collecting insurance
shall be borne by Lessee. Lessee will not make adjustments with insurers except
(1) with respect to claims for damage to any unit of Equipment where the repair
costs do not exceed ten percent (10%) of such unit's fair market value, or (2)
with Lessor's written consent. Said policies shall provide that the insurance
may not be altered or cancelled by the insurer until after thirty (30) days'
written notice to Lessor. Lessor may, at its option, apply proceeds of
insurance, in whole or in part, to (A) repair or replace Equipment or any
portion thereof, or (B) satisfy any obligation of Lessee to Lessor hereunder.

     (f) General. Lessor shall be entitled, upon reasonable advance notice, to
review Lessee's insurance policies carried and maintained with respect to
Lessee's obligations under this Section 10. Upon request, Lessee shall furnish
Lessor with copies of all insurance policies, binders, and cover notes or other
evidence of such insurance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no
provision of this Section 10 or any provision of this Agreement shall impose on
Lessor any duty or obligation to verify the existence or adequacy of the
<PAGE>
insurance coverage maintained by Lessee, nor shall Lessor be responsible for any
representations or warranties made by or on behalf of Lessee to any insurance
broker, company or underwriter. Lessor, at its sole option, may obtain such
insurance if not provided by Lessee and in such event, Lessee shall reimburse
Lessor upon demand for the cost thereof, together with interest.

11.  RETURN OF EQUIPMENT:

     (a) Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement or any Schedule,
Lessee shall promptly, at its own cost and expense: (i) perform any testing and
repairs required to place the affected units of Equipment in the same condition
and appearance as when received by Lessee (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and
in good working order for their originally intended purpose; (ii) if
deinstallation, disassembly or crating is required, cause such units to be
deinstalled, disassembled and crated by an authorized manufacturer's
representative or such other service person as is satisfactory to Lessor; (iii)
return such units, free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances, and
Contaminants, to a street address within the continental United States as Lessor
shall direct; and (iv) satisfy the requirements of Annex E to the applicable
Schedule.

     (b) Until Lessee fully has complied with the requirements of Paragraph (a)
above, Lessee's Rent payment obligation and all other obligations under this
Agreement shall continue from month to month notwithstanding any expiration or
termination of the Term. Lessor may terminate such continued leasehold interest
upon ten (10) days' notice to Lessee. In addition to these Rents, Lessor shall
have all of its other rights and remedies available as a result of this
nonperformance.

12.  DEFAULT; REMEDIES:

     (a) Lessor may in writing declare this Agreement in default ("Default") if:
(1) Lessee breaches its obligation to pay Rent or any other sum as and when due;
(2) Lessee breaches any of its obligations under Section 17(b)(3) hereof or any
of its insurance obligations under Section 10 hereof; (3) Lessee breaches any of
its other obligations hereunder and fails to cure that breach within thirty (30)
days after written notice thereof; (4) any representation or warranty made by
Lessee in connection with this Agreement shall be false or misleading in any
material respect; (5) Lessee shall or shall attempt to (except as expressly
permitted by the provisions of this Agreement) sell, transfer, encumber (except
to the extent of a Permitted Lien), or assign, any Equipment or any part
thereof, or use any Equipment for an illegal purpose or permit the same to
occur; (6) any certificate, statement, representation, warranty or audit
contained herein or heretofore or hereafter furnished with respect hereto by or
on behalf of Lessee proving to have been false in any material respect at the
time as of which the facts therein set forth were stated or certified, or having
omitted any substantial contingent or unliquidated liability or claim against
it; (7) LESSEE becomes insolvent or ceases to do business as a going concern;
(8) Lessee shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a voluntary petition
or an answer seeking reorganization in a proceeding under any bankruptcy or
receivership laws (as now or hereafter in effect) or an answer admitting the
material allegations of a petition filed against Lessee in any such proceeding,
or Lessee shall, by voluntary petition, answer or consent, seek relief under the
provisions of any other now existing or future bankruptcy, receivership or other
similar law providing for the reorganization or liquidation of corporations, or
providing for an agreement, composition, extension or adjustment with its
creditors; (9) a petition is filed against Lessee in a proceeding under
applicable bankruptcy laws, receivership or other insolvency laws, as now or
hereafter in effect, and is not withdrawn, stayed or dismissed within sixty (60)
days thereafter, or if, under the provisions of any law providing for
reorganization or liquidation of corporations which may apply to Lessee, any
court of competent jurisdiction shall assume jurisdiction, custody or control of
Lessee or of any substantial part of its property, and such jurisdiction,
custody or control shall remain in force unrelinquished, unstayed or
unterminated for a period of sixty (60) days; (10) Lessee shall have terminated
its corporate existence, consolidated with, merged into, or conveyed or leased
substantially all of its assets as an entirety to any Person (such actions being
referred to as an "Event"), unless prior to such Event: (x) such Person is
organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state, and
executes and delivers to Lessor an agreement containing an effective assumption
by such Person of the due and punctual performance of Lessee under this
Agreement; and (y) Lessor is reasonably satisfied as to the creditworthiness of
such Person; (11) Lessee shall be in default under any other agreement between
Lessee and Lessor or its Affiliates, or any material obligation (that is, for a
committed amount in excess of $5,000,000) for borrowed money, for the deferred
purchase price of property or any lease agreement; (12) effective control of
Lessee's voting capital stock, issued and outstanding from time to time, is not
retained by the present holders (unless: (A) Lessee shall have provided thirty
(30) days' prior written notice to
<PAGE>
Lessor of the proposed disposition and Lessor shall have consented thereto in
writing; or (B) the disposition of Lessee's voting capital stock is pursuant to
an initial public offering of such stock); and (13) there occurs an anticipatory
repudiation of or a default under the Remarketing Support Agreement. Such
declaration shall apply to all Schedules except as specifically excepted by
Lessor. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessor
may exercise all rights and remedies hereunder independently with respect to
each Schedule.

     (b) After Default, at the request of Lessor, Lessee shall: (i) notify
Lessor in writing of the location of each item of the Equipment as of the date
of such notification; and/or (ii) comply with the provisions of Section 11(a)
hereof. Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to enter, with or without legal process,
any premises where any Equipment is located and take possession thereof. Lessee
shall, without further demand, forthwith pay to Lessor (i) as liquidated damages
for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty, the Stipulated Loss Value of the
Equipment (calculated in accordance with Annex D as of the Rent Payment Date
next preceding the declaration of default), and (ii) all Rent and other sums
then due hereunder. Lessor may, but shall not be required to, sell the Equipment
at private or public sale, in bulk or in parcels, with notice, and without
having the Equipment present at the place of sale; or Lessor may, but shall not
be required to, lease, otherwise dispose of or keep idle all or part of the
Equipment; and Lessor may use Lessee's premises for any or all of the foregoing
without liability for Rent, costs, damages or otherwise. The proceeds of sale,
lease or other disposition, if any, shall be applied in the following order of
priorities: (1) to pay all of Lessor's costs, charges and expenses incurred in
taking, removing, holding, repairing and selling, leasing or otherwise disposing
of Equipment; then, (2) to the extent not previously paid by Lessee, to pay
Lessor all sums due from Lessee hereunder; then, (3) to reimburse to Lessee any
sums previously paid by Lessee as liquidated damages; and (4) any surplus shall
be retained by Lessor. Lessee shall pay any deficiency in clauses (1) and (2)
forthwith.

     (c) In addition to the foregoing rights, Lessor may cancel the lease as to
any or all of the Equipment.

     (d) The foregoing remedies are cumulative, and any or all thereof may be
exercised in lieu of or in addition to each other or any remedies at law, in
equity, or under statute. Lessee waives notice of sale or other disposition (and
the time and place thereof), and the manner and place of any advertising. If
permitted by Applicable Law, Lessee shall pay reasonable attorney's fees
actually incurred by Lessor in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement and
any ancillary documents. Waiver of any Default shall not be a waiver of any
other or subsequent default.

     (e) Any default under the terms of this agreement may be declared by Lessor
a default under any other agreement between Lessee and Lessor or its Affiliates
for an amount in excess of $1,000,000.

13.  ASSIGNMENT:

     (a) LESSEE SHALL NOT ASSIGN, MORTGAGE, SUBLET OR HYPOTHECATE ANY EQUIPMENT
OR THE INTEREST OF LESSEE HEREUNDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR.

     (b) Lessor may, without the consent of Lessee, assign this Agreement or any
Schedule, or the right to enter into any Schedule. Lessee agrees that it will
pay all Rent and other amounts payable under each Schedule to the Lessor named
therein; provided, however, if Lessee receives written notice of an assignment
from Lessor, Lessee will pay all Rent and other a mounts payable under any
assigned Schedule to such assignee or as instructed by Lessor. Each Schedule,
incorporating by reference the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
constitutes a separate instrument of lease, and the Lessor named therein or its
assignee shall have all rights as "Lessor" thereunder separately exercisable by
such named Lessor or assignee as the case may be, exclusively and independently
of Lessor or any assignee with respect to other Schedules executed pursuant
hereto. Lessee agrees reasonably to cooperate with Lessor in connection with any
such proposed assignment, including the execution and delivery of such other
documents, instruments, notices, opinions, certificates and acknowledgments, as
reasonably may be required by Lessor or such assignee; and Lessee further agrees
to confirm in writing receipt of a notice of assignment as reasonably may be
requested by assignee. Lessee hereby waives and agrees not to assert against any
such assignee any defense, set-off, recoupment claim or counterclaim which
Lessee has or may at any time have against Lessor or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever.
<PAGE>
     (c) Subject always to the foregoing, this Agreement inures to the benefit
of, and is binding upon, the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

14.  NET LEASE; NO SET-OFF, ETC.:

     This Agreement is a net lease. Lessee's obligation to pay Rent and other
amounts due hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional. Lessee shall not be
entitled to any abatement or reductions of, or set-offs against, said Rent or
other amounts, including, without limitation, those arising or allegedly arising
out of claims (present or future, alleged or actual, and including claims
arising out of strict tort or negligence of Lessor) of Lessee against Lessor
under this Agreement or otherwise. This Agreement shall not terminate and the
obligations of Lessee shall not be affected by reason of any defect in or damage
to, or loss of possession, use or destruction of, any Equipment from whatsoever
cause. It is the intention of the parties that Rents and other amounts due
hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events in the manner and at the
times set forth herein unless the obligation to do so shall have been terminated
pursuant to the express terms hereof.

15.  INDEMNIFICATION:

     (a) Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify (on an after-tax basis), save and
keep harmless Lessor and its Affiliates, successors and assigns, directors,
officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all losses, damages,
penalties, injuries, claims, actions and suits, including legal expenses, of
whatsoever kind and nature, in contract or tort, whether caused by the active or
passive negligence of Lessor or otherwise, and including, but not limited to,
Lessor's strict liability in tort, arising out of (i) the selection,
manufacture, purchase, acceptance or rejection of the Equipment, the ownership
of the Equipment during the Term, and the delivery, lease, possession,
maintenance, uses, condition, return or operation of the Equipment (including,
without limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable by
Lessor or Lessee and any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement
or Environmental Loss or Environmental Claim), or (ii) the condition of
Equipment sold or disposed of after use by Lessee, any sublessee or employees of
Lessee. Lessee shall, upon request, defend any actions based on, or arising out
of, any of the foregoing.

     (b) This Agreement has been entered into on the assumption that: (i) this
Agreement will be treated for Federal income tax purposes as a true lease and
Lessor will be treated as the owner and lessor of the Equipment and Lessee will
be treated as the lessee of the Equipment; (ii) (1) on the Basic Term
Commencement Date for any unit of Equipment, such unit will qualify for all of
the items of deduction and credit, and (2) throughout the Term, Lessor will only
be required to include certain amounts in gross income, in each case as
specified in Section C of the applicable Schedule ("TAX BENEFITS") in the hands
of Lessor (all references to Lessor in this Section include Lessor and its
assignees and the consolidated taxpayer group of which Lessor and any assignee
is a member); (iii) each item of Equipment constitutes "qualified property"
pursuant to Section 168(k) of the Code, and is eligible for the additional
first-year depreciation deduction equal to fifty percent (50%) of the
Capitalized Lessor's Cost of the Equipment contemplated by the Code; (iv) the
Equipment shall be treated as originally placed in service not earlier than the
date of the execution and delivery of the Schedule with respect thereto; (v)
Lessee has not arranged to purchase, and Lessor is not purchasing the Equipment
pursuant to a binding written contract entered into before May 6, 2003; and (vi)
each item of Equipment shall be placed in service before January 1, 2005.

     (c) If for any reason whatsoever (i) tax counsel of Lessor shall determine
that Lessor has no reasonable basis to claim on its Federal income tax return
all or any portion of the Tax Benefits with respect to any Equipment, or (ii)
any such Tax Benefit claimed on the Federal income tax return of Lessor is
disallowed or adjusted by the Internal Revenue Service, or (iii) any such Tax
Benefit is recomputed or recaptured, or (iv) Lessor shall become liable for
additional tax as a result of Lessee having added an attachment or made an
alteration to the Equipment, including (without limitation) any such attachment
or alteration which would increase the productivity or capability of the
Equipment so as to violate the provisions of Rev. Proc. 2001-28, 2001-1 C.B.
1156 (as the same may hereafter be modified or superseded), or (v) Lessor shall
be entitled to claim a lesser credit for foreign taxes against its Federal
income tax liability than that to which Lessor would have been entitled if each
item of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to the Equipment had been
treated as income from sources within the United States pursuant to Section 861
of the Code (any such determination, disallowance, inclusion in income,
adjustment, recomputation or recapture being hereinafter called a "LOSS"),
<PAGE>
then Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as an indemnity and as additional Rent, such
amount as shall, in the reasonable opinion of Lessor, cause Lessor's after-tax
economic yields and cash flows, computed on the same assumptions, including tax
rates (unless any adjustment has been made under Section 3 hereof, in which case
the Effective Rate used in the next preceding adjustment shall be substituted),
and were utilized by Lessor in originally evaluating the transaction (such
yields and flows being hereinafter called the "NET ECONOMIC Return") to equal
the Net Economic Return that would have been realized by Lessor if such Loss had
not occurred. Such amount shall be payable upon demand accompanied by a
statement describing in reasonable detail such Loss and the computation of such
amount. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessee shall
have no obligation to indemnify Lessor from or against any such Loss to the
extent that such Loss is caused by: (1) any failure by Lessor to properly or
timely claim on its Federal income tax return any Tax Benefits on any Equipment
(unless such failure is based upon a determination by tax counsel of Lessor that
Lessor has no reasonable basis to claim such Tax Benefits with respect to such
Equipment); (2) any failure of Lessor to have sufficient taxable income to
benefit from the Tax Benefits; (3) any liability of the Lessor for any
alternative minimum taxes; (4) the status of Lessor as a widely held C
corporation for purposes of Federal income taxes; (5) any sale or other
disposition of any Equipment by Lessor other than after a Default by Lessee
(except as a result of an act by Lessee); (6) any tax election made or not made
by Lessor relating to the Tax Benefits; or (7) any event which results in a
payment by Lessee in an amount equal to, or measured by, the Stipulated Loss
Value to the extent that such Loss was included in Lessor's calculation of such
Stipulated Loss Value.

16.  DISCLAIMER:

     LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS SELECTED THE EQUIPMENT WITHOUT ANY
ASSISTANCE FROM LESSOR, ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES. LESSOR DOES NOT MAKE, HAS NOT
MADE, NOR SHALL BE DEEMED TO MAKE OR HAVE MADE, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION,
EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT LEASED
HEREUNDER OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY
AS TO DESIGN, COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, QUALITY OF MATERIALS OR
WORKMANSHIP, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE, USE OR OPERATION, SAFETY,
PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT, OR TITLE. ALL such risks, as
between Lessor and Lessee, are to be borne by Lessee. Without limiting the
foregoing, Lessor shall have no responsibility or liability to Lessee or any
other Person with respect to any of the following (i) any liability, loss or
damage caused or alleged to be caused directly or indirectly by any Equipment,
any inadequacy thereof, any deficiency or defect (latent or otherwise) therein,
or any other circumstance in connection therewith; (ii) the use, operation or
performance of any Equipment or any risks relating thereto; (iii) any
interruption of service, loss of business or anticipated profits or
consequential damages; or (iv) the delivery, operation, servicing, maintenance,
repair, improvement or replacement of any Equipment. If, and so long as, no
default exists under this Agreement, Lessee shall be, and hereby is, authorized
during the term of this Agreement to assert and enforce, at Lessee's sole cost
and expense, from time to time, in the name of and for the account of Lessor
and/or Lessee, as their interests may appear, whatever claims and rights Lessor
may have against any Supplier of the Equipment.

17.  REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF LESSEE:

     (a) Lessee hereby represents and warrants to Lessor that on the date hereof
and on the date of execution of each Schedule:

          (1) Lessee is and will be at all times during the Term a corporation

state of its incorporation (specified in the first sentence of this Agreement);
and is duly qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation in good
standing wherever necessary to carry on its present business and operations,
including the jurisdictions where the Equipment is or is to be located, except
where the failure to be so qualified or to be in good standing would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          (2) This Agreement, the Schedules, the Purchase Order Assignment, the
Remarketing Support Agreement and all related documents (collectively, the
"DOCUMENTS") have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Lessee and

Lessee or any provision of Lessee's organizational documents, articles of
incorporation, charter or by-laws; or (ii) result in any breach of, constitute a
default under or result in the creation of any Lien upon any Equipment
pursuant to any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan or credit

party.

          (5) There are no suits or proceedings pending or threatened in court
or before any commission, board or other administrative agency against or
affecting Lessee, which will have a Material Adverse Effect. As used herein,
"MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT" shall mean (1) a materially adverse effect on the
business, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, operations, performance
or properties of Lessee or any of Lessee's Affiliates, or (2) a material
impairment of the ability of Lessee to perform its obligations under or to
remain in compliance with the Documents.

prepared in accordance with GAAP, and since the date of the most recent such
financial statement, there has been no material adverse change in the financial
condition of Lessee.

          (8) Lessee's exact legal name and jurisdiction of organization
specified in the first paragraph hereof, and Lessee's Federal Employer
Identification Number and Organizational Number specified in Section B. of the
Equipment Schedule, are true and correct; and the "location" (as such term is
used in Article 9 of the UCC) of Lessee is the State of Tennessee; and Lessee

jurisdiction of organization, Federal Employer Identification Number,
Organizational Number or "location".

     (b) Lessee hereby covenants and agrees with Lessor that:

          (1) The Equipment will at all times be used for commercial or business
purposes.

          (2) Lessee is and will remain in full compliance with all laws and
regulations applicable to it including, without limitation, (i) ensuring that no
person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls Lessee is or
shall be (A) listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person
List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), Department of
the Treasury, and/or any other similar lists maintained by OFAC pursuant to any
authorizing statute, Executive Order or regulation, or (B) a person designated
under Sections 1(b), (c) or (d) of Executive Order No. 13224 (September 23,
2001), any related enabling legislation or any other similar Executive Orders,
and (ii) compliance with all applicable Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA") laws,
regulations and government guidance on BSA compliance and on the prevention and
detection of money laundering violations.

          (3) At all times during the Term:

               (A) Lessee shall not violate the financial covenants set forth on
     Exhibit No. 3 attached hereto.

               (B) Lessee shall not (i) declare, pay or make any dividend or
     Distribution on any shares of Stock (other than dividends or Distributions
     payable in its Stock, or split-ups or reclassifications of its Stock),
     (ii) apply any of its funds, property or assets to the acquisition,
     redemption or other retirement of any Stock or of any options to purchase
     or acquire any of the
<PAGE>
     foregoing (provided, however, that Lessee may redeem its Stock from
     terminated employees pursuant to, but only to that extent required under,
     the terms of the related employment agreements as long as no Default or
     event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would
     become a Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused by or
     result therefrom), (iii) otherwise make any payments or Distributions to
     any stockholder, member, partner or other equity owner in such Person's
     capacity as such, or (iv) make any payment of any management or service
     fee; provided that Lessee shall not make or suffer to exist any such
     payment described in clauses (i) through (iii) above if a Default or event
     which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would
     become a Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom.

               (C) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any
     other Document, Lessee shall not sell, lease, transfer, assign or otherwise
     dispose of any interest in any properties or assets (other than obsolete
     equipment or excess equipment no longer needed in the conduct of its
     business in the ordinary course of business), or agree to do any of the
     foregoing at any future time, except that:

                    (i) Lessee may lease (as lessee) real or personal property
          or surrender all or a portion of a lease of the same, in each case in
          the ordinary course of business (so long as such lease does not create
          or result in and is not otherwise a Capitalized Lease Obligation
          prohibited under this Agreement); provided, that an Estoppel/Waiver
          Agreement and such other consents as are required by Lessor are signed
          and delivered to Lessor with respect to any lease of real or personal
          property, as applicable;

                    (ii) Lessee may license or sublicense intellectual property
          or customer lists from third parties in the ordinary course of
          business; provided, that such licenses or sublicenses shall not
          interfere with the business or other operations of Lessee and that
          Lessee's right, title and/or interest in or to such intellectual
          property and customer lists and interests therein are pledged to
          Lessor as further security for the Obligations;

                    (iii) Lessee may consummate such other sales or dispositions
          of property or assets (including any sale or transfer or disposition
          of all or any part of its assets and thereupon and within one (1) year
          thereafter rent or lease the assets so sold or transferred) only to
          the extent prior written notice has been given to Lessor and to the
          extent Lessor has given its prior written consent thereto, such
          consent not to be unreasonably withheld, subject in each case to such
          conditions as set forth in such consent; and

                    (iv) Lessee may sell Designated Equipment.

18.  INTENT; TITLE; SECURITY INTEREST:

     (a) It is the express intent of the parties that this Agreement constitute
a true lease and not a sale of the Equipment. Title to the Equipment shall at
all times remain in Lessor, and Lessee shall acquire no ownership, title,
property, right, equity, or interest in the Equipment other than its leasehold
interest solely as Lessee subject to all the terms and conditions hereof. The
parties agree that the lease is a "Finance Lease" as defined in UCC Article 2A
-- Leases ("ARTICLE 2A"). Lessee acknowledges: (1) that Lessee has selected the
"Supplier" (as defined in Article 2A) and directed Lessor to purchase the
Equipment from the Supplier; and (2) that Lessee has been informed in writing in
this Lease, before signing this Lease, that Lessee is entitled under Article 2A
to the promises and warranties, including those of any third party, provided to
Lessor by the Supplier in connection with or as part of the contract by which
Lessor acquired the Equipment, and that Lessee may communicate with the Supplier
and receive an accurate and complete statement of those promises and warranties,
including any disclaimers and limitations of them or of remedies. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, Lessee hereby waives any and all rights and
remedies conferred upon a lessee in Article 2A and any rights now or hereafter
conferred by statute or otherwise which may limit or modify any of Lessor's
rights or remedies under Section 12 hereof; provided, however, that such waiver
shall not preclude Lessee from asserting any claim of Lessee against Lessor in a
separate cause of action; and provided further that such waiver shall not affect
Lessor's obligations of good faith, diligence, reasonableness and care.
<PAGE>
     (b) Notwithstanding the express intent of the parties, should a court of
competent jurisdiction determine that this Agreement is not a true lease, but
rather one intended as security, then solely in that event and for the expressly
limited purposes thereof, Lessee shall be deemed to have hereby granted Lessor a
security interest in the lease, the Equipment, and all accessions thereto,
substitutions and replacements therefor, and proceeds (including insurance
proceeds) thereof (but without power of sale); to secure the prompt payment and
performance as and when due of all obligations and indebtedness of Lessee (or
any affiliate of Lessee) to Lessor, now existing or hereafter created (the
"OBLIGATIONS").

     (c) To secure the prompt payment and performance as and when due of all
obligations and indebtedness of Lessee to Lessor, now existing or hereafter
created, pursuant to that certain Terminal Rental Adjustment Addendum attached
to the Schedule (the "TERMINAL RENTAL ADJUSTMENT ADDENDUM"), Lessee hereby
assigns to Lessor for collateral security purposes, and grants to Lessor a
security interest in, all right, title and interest of Lessee in, to and under
the Remarketing Support Agreement, as now or hereafter amended, together with
all payments now or hereafter becoming due thereunder and all proceeds thereof.

AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN LESSEE AND LESSOR. The
scope of this waiver is intended to be all encompassing of any and all disputes
that may be filed in any court (including, without limitation, contract claims,
tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common law and statutory
claims). THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER

TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED
TRANSACTION. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a
written consent to a trial by the court.

     (b) Any cancellation or termination by Lessor, pursuant to the provision of
this Agreement, any Schedule, supplement or amendment hereto, or the lease of
any Equipment hereunder, shall not release Lessee from any then outstanding
obligations to Lessor hereunder.

     (c) Time is of the essence of this Agreement. Lessor's failure at any time
to require strict performance by Lessee of any of the provisions hereof shall
not waive or diminish Lessor's right thereafter to demand strict compliance
therewith.

     (d) Lessee authorizes Lessor to file such UCC financing statements and
amendments thereto as reasonably may be required in connection with this
transaction, describing the Equipment described in any and all Schedules now and

such further action as Lessor from time to time reasonably may request in order
to carry out the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereunder.

thereto constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof. NO VARIATION OR MODIFICATION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
WAIVER OF ANY OF ITS PROVISIONS OR CONDITIONS, SHALL BE VALID UNLESS IN WRITING
AND SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PARTIES HERETO.

     (g) The representations, warranties and covenants of Lessee herein shall be
deemed to survive the closing hereunder. Lessor's obligations to acquire and

may require, and Lessor being satisfied that there shall have been no material
adverse change in the business or financial condition of VTNA or Lessee from the
date of execution hereof. The obligations of Lessee under Sections 3, 4, 11 and
15 hereof which accrue during the term of this Agreement and obligations which
by their express terms survive the termination of this Agreement, shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.

     (h) In case of a failure of Lessee to comply with any provision of this
Agreement, Lessor shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to effect
such compliance, in whole or in part; and all moneys spent and expenses and
obligations incurred or assumed by Lessor in effecting such compliance (together
with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate) shall constitute additional Rent due
to Lessor within five (5) days after the date Lessor sends notice to Lessee
requesting payment. Lessor's effecting such compliance shall not be a waiver of
Lessee's default.

     (i) Any Rent or other amount not paid to Lessor when due hereunder shall
bear interest, both before and after any judgment or termination hereof, at the
lesser of (1) the maximum rate allowed by law, or (2) that percentage per annum
equal to the greater of twelve percent (12%) or the sum of the Prime Rate as of
the date of determination, plus five hundred (500) basis points (the "OVERDUE
RATE").

     (j) Any provision of this Agreement which is 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 hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

     (k) So long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder,
and conditioned upon Lessee performing all of the covenants and conditions
hereof, as to claims of Lessor or Persons claiming under Lessor, Lessee shall
peaceably and quietly hold, possess and use the Equipment during the Term of
this Agreement subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

and all costs and expenses, if any, in connection with the enforcement of any of
the Documents.

Affiliates) that (i) it will not make any public announcement (except to the
extent required in connection with its financial disclosure or reporting
requirements or as otherwise required by Applicable Laws) or issue or release
for external publication any article or advertising or publicity matter relating
to the purchase by Lessor of the Equipment or the lease thereof by Lessor to
Lessee without the prior written consent of the other party hereto (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (ii) unless otherwise required
by Applicable Laws and subject to Section 20(m)(2) hereof, it will maintain the
confidentiality of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other
Documents and will not disclose, or cause to be disclosed, the same to any
Person, except (A) to prospective transferees or financiers of such Person's
interest in the Equipment or the Documents, (B) to its Affiliates and its
Affiliates' agents, directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel or
other professional advisors that have, in each such
<PAGE>
case, been instructed or otherwise bound by professional rules of conduct to
keep such information confidential, (C) as may be requested or required pursuant
to Applicable Laws by any Governmental Authority (including Internal Revenue
Service auditors or state taxing and regulatory authorities), (D) to the extent
required in connection with the performance by it of its obligations and the
exercise by it of its rights under the Documents, (E) to any nationally
recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Person's
investment portfolio, (F) in response to any subpoena or other legal process or
in connection with any litigation to which such Person is a party (provided that
prior notice shall have been provided to the non-disclosing parties), (G) to the
extent, but only to the extent, that prior to such disclosure, such information
is in the public domain or has been provided to such party by a Person not a
party to this Agreement (other than by reason of a breach by such Person of the
confidentiality provisions hereof or as expressly contemplated herby), or (H)
with the prior written consent of each other party hereto (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld).

          (2) There is no restriction (either express or implied) on any
disclosure or dissemination of the tax treatment or tax structure of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any documents executed in
connection herewith. Further, each party hereto acknowledges that it has no
proprietary rights to any tax matter or tax idea or to any element of the
transaction structure contemplated by this Agreement; and each party hereto (and
any employee, representative or agent of any party hereto) may disclose to any
and all Persons (without limitation of any kind), the Federal tax treatment and
Federal tax structure of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. This
Section 20(m)(2) is intended to cause the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement to be treated as not having been offered under conditions of
confidentiality for purposes of Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor
provision) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 6011 of the
Code and Section 6111 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder; and shall be construed in a manner consistent with such purpose.

     (n) If Lessor is required by the terms hereof to pay to or for the benefit
of Lessee any amount received as a refund of any Tax or as insurance proceeds or
any amount pursuant to Paragraph (d) of the Terminal Rental Adjustment Addendum,
and a Default or event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or
both, would become a Default has then occurred and is continuing, Lessor shall
not be required to pay such amounts unless and until any such Default shall have
been cured or any such event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of
time, or both, would become a Default shall have been waived by Lessor. In
addition, if Lessor is required by the terms hereof to cooperate with Lessee in
connection with certain matters, such cooperation shall not be required if a
Default has then occurred and is continuing. Lessor may set-off against any
amount which Lessor is required to pay to Lessee hereunder, any amount then due
by Lessee hereunder.

              VEHICLE LEASE AGREEMENT           NO.OE-146

This Vehicle Lease Agreement (the "Agreement") is made as of 7/25/2002 by and
between Transport International Pool, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, with
offices at 426 W. Lancaster Avenue, Devon, Pennsylvania 19333 ("Lessor") and
WESTERN EXPRESS, a TN CORPORATION ("Lessee"), with offices at 7135 CENTENNIAL
PLACE NASHVILLE, TN, TN 37209, for the vehicles set forth on Schedule AB hereto
(the "Vehicles") In consideration of the promises and covenants herein contained
the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. VEHICLES. Lessor hereby agrees to lease to Lessee and Lessee hereby agrees to
lease from Lessor the Vehicles for the Lease Term set forth on Schedule AB.

2. TERM. The Lease Term, as set forth on Schedule AB, shall commence on the
first day of the month subsequent to the earlier of (a) delivery of all of the
Vehicles or (b) three (3) days following written notice to Lessee that all
vehicles are available for delivery hereunder. Each Vehicle delivered to Lessee
prior to the commencement of the Lease Term shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement as of the date of delivery (the "Vehicle Delivery
Date"). Lessee's rent obligation as to any vehicle shall commence on the earlier
of the Vehicle Delivery Date of three (3) days following written notice to
Lessee that the Vehicle is available for delivery.

3. DELIVERY. Lessor shall deliver to Lessee and Lessee shall accept delivery of
each Vehicle at the Delivery Location set forth on Schedule AB. Upon delivery,
Lessee or its agent shall sign Lessor's Standard Lease Agreement which shall be
used solely for the purpose of identifying the Vehicles, establishing the
Vehicle Delivery Date and documenting Vehicle condition.

4. MAINTENANCE.

    A.  At Lessor's expense, Lessor shall:

        1   Inspect, lubricate, and provide maintenance for normal wear and tear
            as reasonably required to maintain each Vehicle in good repair,
            mechanical condition and running order;

        2   Replace tires and brakes on each Vehicle in accordance with Federal
            and state vehicle safety regulations.

    B.  At Lessee's expense, Lessee shall:

        1   Deliver to the maintenance location set forth on Schedule AB (the
            "Maintenance Location") each Vehicle requiring inspection, tire or
            brake replacement, alignment, maintenance, or repairs required to be
            performed by Lessor;

        2   Provide daily safety inspections of each Vehicle and maintain proper
            axle lubricant levels, tire inflation and repair, brake operation
            and lighting including bulbs and lens replacement;

        3   Maintain each Vehicle in the same condition as when delivered,
            excepting normal wear and tear, making all necessary repairs and
            replacements in compliance with all manufacturers' standards
            relating thereto, using only new parts;

        4   Reimburse Lessor for tires damaged by improper inflation, impact
            breaks or running flat; and

        5   Pay Lessor the fair market value of tires supplied or paid for by
            Lessor that are not returned with the Vehicles.

5. DISABLED AND SUBSTITUTE VEHICLES.

            A. In the event that any Vehicle shall be unavailable to Lessee due
to a malfunction for which Lessor is responsible as provided herein (a "Disabled
Vehicle"), Lessee shall return the Vehicle to the Maintenance Location for
repair. If the disability is such that the Disabled Vehicle cannot be returned
to such location, Lessor shall direct Lessee to a repair facility of Lessor's
choosing. In the event that the required repairs are Lessor's responsibility,
Lessor shall authorize said repairs and issue a purchase order therefor. Lessee
shall not purchase replacement tires for Lessor's account or charge Lessor for
any expense except upon Lessor's prior written consent. Lessor reserves the
right to change the Maintenance Location upon thirty (30) days notice to Lessee.

<PAGE>

            B. In the event that any Disabled Vehicle cannot be repaired within
three (3) business days after delivery to the Maintenance Location or receipt of
the notice set forth above, Lessor shall make available a standard substitute
Vehicle without modifications of approximately similar size and capability (the
"Substitute Vehicle") at a location of Lessor's choosing. The Substitute Vehicle
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall be
returned to the same location within three (3) business days of notice that the
Disabled Vehicle has been repaired, after which time Lessee shall pay lease
charges on the Substitute Vehicle at Lessor's standard card rates. Lessor shall
incur no liability if it cannot supply a Substitute Vehicle and Lessee's sole
remedy shall be abatement of rent. Lease charges applicable to the Disabled
Vehicle shall abate during the period commencing twenty-four (24) hours
following delivery thereof to the Maintenance Location or receipt of the notice
set forth above and ending on the earlier of the delivery of the Substitute
Vehicle to Lessee or three (3) business days following notice to Lessee by any
means that the original Disabled Vehicle is available.

            C. In the event that a Vehicle shall become totally destroyed,
stolen or otherwise unavailable to or unusable by Lessee for the balance of the
Lease Term, Lessee shall provide notice thereof to Lessor. Billing shall
terminate upon Lessor's receipt from Lessee of 115% of the Far Market Value of
the Vehicle ("FMV") prior to damage, destruction or loss, plus any additional
payments representing the unamortized portion of expenses associated herewith
for such Vehicle. At its sole option, Lessor may provide a permanent Substitute
Vehicle for the balance of the Lease Term. The lease rate for said permanent
Substitute Vehicle may be increased over the rate applicable to the terminated
Vehicle for specific expenses that must be recovered over the shortened term of
the Agreement.

            D. FMV shall be determined by Lessor to be the value that would be
obtained in an arm's-length transaction between an informed and willing buyer
and seller under no compulsion to sell and, without regard to drayage costs.

6. USE AND OPERATION. Lessee warrants that: (a) the Vehicles shall be used only
in the Continental United States and Canada and only for the transportation
and/or storage of (the "Products"); (b) the Vehicles shall not be operated by
any person other than agents or employees of Lessee, each warranted to be a
careful, dependable operator not operating under the influence of alcohol or
drugs, with a valid license to operate such Vehicles; (c) Lessee shall use each
Vehicle designated as a storage Vehicle for storage purposes only; (d) Lessee
shall comply with all current and future statutes, regulations, rules,
ordinances and orders of any governmental or quasi-governmental entity,
including without limitation environmental statutes, regulations, rules,
ordinances and orders, affecting the use, operation or maintenance of the
Vehicles (collectively "Applicable Laws"); (e) Lessee shall comply with the
Vehicle manufacturer's loading limitations and avoid abusive handling and
concentrated or excessive loads; and (f) Lessee shall provide Lessor with any
Vehicle operation data as may be required by any governmental agency and such
data shall be true and accurate. Lessee shall not use or permit any Vehicle to
be used for third-party advertising purposes without Lessor's prior written
consent. Lessee shall not remove any advertising placed by Lessor on any Vehicle
without lessor's prior written consent.

7. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

    A. Lessee shall not transport, load or store in or on any Vehicle any
ultrahazardous materials, medical wastes, hazardous wastes, infectious
materials, poison gases, radioactive materials, or explosives (collectively
"Ultrahazardous Materials"). If Lessor determines that Lessee has used the
Vehicle for such purposes, Lessor, in its sole discretion, may require Lessee to
purchase the Vehicle at 115% of such Vehicle's FMV prior to use for such
purposes.

    B. If any Vehicle is damaged, contaminated, stained, soiled or tainted as a
result of transporting, loading or storing Ultrahazardous Materials or any other
substances, Lessee shall promptly restore such Vehicle to its condition on the
Vehicle Delivery Date and, if decontaminated, provide proof of such
decontamination including, without limitation, methodology and pre and post
decontamination sampling results. Lessor, in its sole discretion and at Lessee's
sole cost, may have any Vehicle inspected and tested for any hazardous substance
or material by any inspector of Lessor's choosing. If Lessee fails to restore
any damaged, contaminated, stained, soiled or tainted Vehicle within seven (7)
business days of Lessor's demand therefor, Lessor may at its sole discretion (i)
require Lessee to purchase the Vehicle at 115% of such Vehicle's FMV prior to
use for such purposes or (ii) restore such Vehicle and invoice Lessee for costs
incurred.

<PAGE>

8. HOLD HARMLESS. Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from; (a) any
loss or damage Lessor may sustain as a result of any damage to or loss of any
Vehicle due to any cause, including without limitation collision, fire,
lightning, theft, explosion, flood, windstorm or Act of God; (b) any loss or
damage Lessor may sustain as a result of the death or injury to, or damage to
the property, including cargo, of any person as a result, in whole or in part,
of the use or condition of any Vehicle; (c) any loss, claim, liability, damages,
expense or disbursement, penalty or fine, disposal, remediation or corrective
action cost, or forfeiture or seizure that may arise in whole or in part from
the use or condition, actual or alleged, of any Vehicle or the failure, actual
or alleged, of Lessee to use and maintain any Vehicles as provided under this
Agreement and in compliance with Applicable Laws, unless such loss or damage
arises from Lessor's gross negligence; (d) any claim, lien or liability arising
from work performed or for materials supplied in connection with the operation
or maintenance of any Vehicle.

9. INSURANCE. Lessee shall at its sole cost and expense procure, and keep in
full force and effect from the initial Vehicle Delivery Date until the return of
all Vehicles, valid and pre-paid Commercial Auto Liability insurance and
Commercial Auto Physical Damage or Trucker's Liability insurance and Trucker's
physical damage policies satisfactory to Lessor with coverage for; (a) hired
autos (trailers) for bodily injury and property damage liability, with a minimum
combined single limit of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence or, if
any Vehicle is used to haul or store acceptable hazardous materials, a minimum
combined single limit of five million dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence and
either an Environmental Impairment Liability or Pollution Liability endorsement
equal to the combined single limit per occurrence or a separate policy for
Environmental Impairment Liability or Pollution Liability with a minimum
combined single limit of five million ($5,000,000) per occurrence; (b) hired
autos (trailers) for physical damage providing collision and comprehensive
coverage with limits equal to the fair market value of the Vehicles with Lessor
as loss payee; and (c) Commercial General Liability for contractual liability
coverage for hold harmless agreements, with a minimum combined single limit of
one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence. If the Vehicles are used solely
for stationary storage of non-hazardous materials, Lessee may provide only the
coverage set forth in subparagraph (c) hereof. If the Vehicles are used solely
for stationary storage of acceptable hazardous materials, Lessee may provide
only the coverage set forth in subparagraph (c) with a combined single limit of
five million dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence and either an Environmental
Impairment Liability or Pollution Liability endorsement equal to the combined
single limit per occurrence or a separate policy for Environmental Impairment
Liability or Pollution Liability with a minimum combined single limit of five
million ($5,000,000) per occurrence. Each of the foregoing liability policies
shall name Lessor as an additional insured. All policies required herein shall
require written notice to Lessor at least thirty (30) days prior to cancellation
or material change. Lessee shall provide Lessor with prompt written notification
of any accident or other event involving any Vehicle that may give rise to
claims against Lessor. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor valid certificates of
insurance evidencing that insurance coverage in compliance with this Section 9
is in force. The first such certificate shall be delivered within 21 days of the
initial Vehicle Delivery Date and thereafter a renewal certificate shall be
delivered prior to expiration of the then outstanding certificate. Failure by
Lessor to demand or collect any such certificate shall not waive its rights
under this Section 9 or any other provision of this Agreement.

10. VEHICLE PROTECTION PLAN. If Lessee accepts the Vehicle Protection ("VP")
Plan and pays all required charges within 28 days of each invoice date, Lessee
shall not be liable to Lessor for loss or damage to any Vehicle arising from
collision, fire, lightning, theft, explosion, flood and windstorm in excess of
the VP Deductible per Vehicle, unless such loss or damage arises from
non-compliance with Lessee's obligations under this Agreement, and Lessee shall
not be required to provide comprehensive insurance coverage for physical damage
to the Vehicles. The VP Plan shall not be applicable to; (a) tire and/or wheel
theft, unless the trailer is stolen; (b) tire damage unless the tires are
damaged as a result of a collision; (c) collision with a road surface, ground or
any part thereof; (d) Vehicle upset due to load shift, improper operation or
jackknife; (e) floor damage resulting from improper loading or unloading of the
Vehicle; (f) damage caused by a tractor/trailer coupling or lifting operation;
or (g) damage caused by the hauling of hazardous or Ultrahazardous Materials.
Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against all losses,
damages and expenses not covered by the VP Plan LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT VP IS A
DAMAGE WAIVER PROGRAM, NOT INSURANCE COVERAGE. Lessee shall report any loss or
damage to which the VP waiver is applicable to Lessor within 48 hours of
occurrence, provide

<PAGE>

any requested documentation and fully cooperate with Lessor; non-compliance
herewith shall void the VP liability limitation. Lessor may change the VP rates
or cancel VP upon 10 days written notice. In the event of VP cancellation,
Lessee shall immediately provide comprehensive coverage for physical damage in
accordance with Section 9.

11. SAFETY INSPECTIONS. Lessee shall be solely responsible for ensuring that
each Vehicle is in compliance with all applicable safety regulations. Lessee
shall perform and pay for all required safety inspections and shall maintain
proper documentation evidencing said inspections. Lessee shall indemnify and
hold Lessor harmless from and against any fines, forfeitures, or penalties which
may arise from Lessee's non-compliance with the provisions of this Section.

12. LICENSES. Lessor, at its sole cost and expense, shall procure licenses and
registrations required for the lawful operation of each Vehicle in the states or
provinces set forth on Schedule AB. Increases in license and registration fees
during the Lease Term shall be the responsibility of Lessee and shall be billed
to Lessee at the beginning of each license period. If registration or testing is
required during the Lease Term, Lessee shall, at Lessor's direction, deliver the
Vehicles too the test stations during the required testing period and take
repossession upon the conclusion of registration and/or testing for the
remaining Lease Term.

13. TAXES. In addition to the lease and other payments as provided hereunder,
Lessee shall pay, or reimburse Lessor for payment of, any and all fees, fines,
penalties and sales and use taxes including, but not limited to, value added
taxes and personal property taxes or other direct taxes levied against or based
upon the price or value of the Vehicles or their use or operation, or levied
against or based upon the lease payments paid or to be paid hereunder, and any
other taxes levied against or based upon this Agreement or the executing,
filing, recording or performance thereof. The term "direct taxes" as used herein
shall include all taxes (except income taxes of Lessor), changes, and fees
levied, assessed, or charged by any taxing authority.

14. RATE AND BILLING.

    A. Lessee shall pay Lessor in advance for the use of each Vehicle at the
rates and upon the schedule set forth on Schedule AB.

    B. Miles traveled in excess of the Mileage Allowance set forth on Schedule
AB shall be billed each billing period for each Vehicle on an estimated basis.
Estimated excess mileage charges shall be determined by multiplying the
difference between the Estimated Mileage and the Mileage Allowance by the
Mileage Rate, each as set forth on Schedule AB. Actual miles traveled shall be
determined from the hubodometer attached to each Vehicle. If actual hubodometer
readings indicate greater mileage than billed as of the date of such reading,
then at Lessor's option the hubodometer reading shall constitute the basis for
an adjusted mileage billing. Adjusted mileage charges shall be billed as of the
date of such reading or at a time of the return of the Vehicle.

    C. Refrigerated van running time in excess of the Annual Reefer Hour
Allowance set forth on Schedule AB shall be billed each billing period for each
refrigerated Vehicle on an estimated basis. Estimated excess running time
charges shall be determined by multiplying the difference between the Annual
Estimated Reefer Hours and the Annual Reefer Hour Allowance by the Reefer Hourly
Rate, each as set forth on Schedule AB. Actual running time hours shall be
determined from the refrigerated van hour clock attached to each Vehicle. If the
actual clock reading indicates more hours run than billed as of the date of such
reading then at Lessor's option the clock reading shall constitute the basis for
an adjusted hourly billing. Adjusted hourly charges shall be billed as of the
date of such reading or at the time of the return of the Vehicle.

    D. Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor if any hubodometer or refrigerated
van clock has been removed or fails to function properly. The mileage and/or
refrigeration hours usage applicable shall be the higher of the mileage or hours
usage indicated by Lessor's records for Lessee from prior transaction or eighty
(80) miles per day and ten (10) refrigeration hours per day.

    E. If upon return of the Vehicle the actual mileage exceeds the Estimated
Mileage, Lessee shall pay an additional one-half cent ($.005) per axle per mile
therefor; for refrigerated Vehicles the excess charge shall be on and one-half
cents ($.015) per axle per mile.

<PAGE>

    F. If upon the return of any Vehicle or upon the replacement of any tire by
Lessor tread wear exceeds 1/32nd inch per tire for each five thousand (5,000)
miles traveled for a Vehicle with bias ply tires or ten thousand (10,000) miles
for a Vehicle with radial tires, Lessee shall pay Lessor a charge, based upon
the then current tire price, for each 1/32nd inch or fraction thereof of tread
wear in excess of such allowances. If upon the return of any Vehicle or
replacement of brakes by Lessor brake wear is in excess of 1/8th inch for each
twelve thousand five hundred (12,500) miles traveled, Lessee shall pay Lessor a
charge, based upon the then current price for a brake reline service, for each
1/8th inch or fraction thereof of lining wear in excess of such allowance.
Lessee shall be responsible for the replacement cost for cracked or scored brake
drums.

    G. Other charges due Lessor under this Agreement shall be billed to lessee
when incurred. Lessee shall pay all invoices within ten (10) days of the invoice
date without set-off or deduction. If Lessee fails to pay any amount when due, a
late charge of the lesser of 1/2% per month (18% per annum compounded monthly)
or the maximum legal rate shall be assessed on any amount not paid when due.
Payments received by Lessor after the due date shall be applied first to the
most recent invoices issued to Lessee without regard to Lessee's instructions.
Invoices shall be sent to the Billing Address set forth on Schedule AB or to
such other address as Lessee may instruct Lessor in writing. Lessor reserves the
right to offset any amount owed Lessee by any amount due Lessor hereunder.

15. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of one or more of the following shall
constitute an Event of Default: (a) Lessee fails to pay when due any rent or any
other payment under this Agreement; (b) Lessee fails to perform any other term
or condition of this Agreement and such failure remains unremedied for more than
ten (10) days after Lessor has requested Lessee to perform, except if such
default arises due to noncompliance with Section 9, which default shall become
effective immediately; (c) Lessee or any guarantor of Lessee (i) becomes
insolvent, (ii) commits an act of bankruptcy, (iii) becomes subject to any
voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, (iv) makes an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, (v) appoints or submits to the appointment of a
receiver for all or any of its assets, (vi) admits in writing its inability to
pay its debt as they become due or (vii) enters into any type of voluntary or
involuntary liquidation; (d) Lessee defaults under any other agreement with
Lessor or any affiliate of Lessor; or (e) any letter of credit, guaranty or
other security given to secure the performance of this Agreement shall expire,
terminate or become worthless in the opinion of Lessor.

16. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. Upon any Event of Default, Lessor may, at its option
and without demand or notice to Lessee, do any one or more of the following; (a)
pay all amounts required to be paid or perform or cause to be performed all
obligations required to be performed by Lessee hereunder and charge Lessee as
additional rent the amount paid or the reasonable value of all services
performed therefor; (b) declare the net present value of the entire balance of
Rent for the remainder of the Lease Term, discounted by the rate for commercial
paper placed directly by General Electric Capital Corporation with an average
maturity of ninety (90) days as published in the Easter Edition of the Wall
Street Journal on the date of this Agreement, immediately due and payable by
acceleration and recover such amount as liquidated damages, the reasonableness
of such damages being acknowledged by Lessee; (c) suspend Lessor's maintenance,
repair and substitute vehicle obligations; or (d) terminate this Agreement and
Lessee's rights hereunder and require Lessee at its sole cost to promptly return
the Vehicles to Lessor at such locations as Lessor may designate. If Lessee is
in default of this Agreement or any other agreement with Lessor, Lessee shall be
declared in default of all existing agreements between Lessee and Lessor. No
termination, repossession or other act by Lessor after default by Lessee shall
relieve Lessee from any of its obligations hereunder. In addition, Lessee shall
pay to Lessor on demand the unamortized portion of any expense associated with
any Vehicle and all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in enforcing its
rights hereunder including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees. The
remedies provided in favor of Lessor shall be cumulative and in addition to all
other remedies provided in this Agreement or existing at law or in equity.

17. REPOSSESSION. If Lessee fails or refuses to promptly return any Vehicle to
Lessor after demand therefor, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lessor shall have the right to enter upon any premises where
Vehicles are located and take immediate possession of and remove such Vehicles
and shall be deemed Lessee's agent for such purposes. If Lessor takes possession
of any Vehicle with other property contained in, upon or attached to such
Vehicle, Lessor may take possession of such

<PAGE>

property and hold it in Lessor's possession or in public storage for the account
and at the expense of Lessee or dispose of such property with no further
liability.

18. LESSEE OWNERSHIP; FINANCIAL CONDITION. If the ownership of Lessee changes or
there is a disposition of a substantial portion of Lessee's assets or a
substantial change in Lessee's financial condition at any time during the
Agreement term. Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor thereof and Lessor may
terminate this Agreement and demand the prompt return of the Vehicles or require
from Lessee additional financial security or assurances including, but not
limited to, cash deposits, letters of credit, escrow accounts and guarantees as
a condition to maintaining this Agreement in full force and effect. If Lessor
terminates this Agreement, Lessee shall pay all outstanding invoices and other
charges set forth in Section 16. Upon request, Lessee shall provide to Lessor
(a) within 45 days after the end of each quarterly accounting period and within
90 days after the end of each fiscal year, financial statements setting forth
comparative figures for the corresponding period in the preceding fiscal year
certified by an authorized financial officer of Lessee or by a recognized
independent public accountant as presenting fairly the financial information
shown therein and (b) such other financial data as Lessor may reasonably
request.

19. WARRANTY. Lessee acknowledges receipt of each Vehicle in good and
satisfactory condition. LESSOR HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO
ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO ANY VEHICLE, MAINTENANCE
OR REPAIR WORK. Lessor shall make available to Lessee the warranty benefits
provided by the Vehicle's manufacturer.

20. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Lessor shall not be liable in connection with this
Agreement for incidental, special, indirect, consequential or exemplary damages
of any kind, including without limitation, lost profits and business
interruption damages, suffered by Lessee or any other party. Lessee shall
indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against all claims arising out of
any such losses or damages. No right of Lessor under this Section 20 may be
waived unless in writing and signed by a corporate officer of Lessor.

21. VEHICLE RETURN. Lessee shall return each Vehicle to Lessor in good
condition, normal wear and tear excepted, with tires and brakes in accordance
with Section 4 hereof or any maintenance addendum executed in connection
herewith, and all Lessee identification, logos and decals, together with any
residue therefrom, removed to Lessor's satisfaction. Upon termination of this
Agreement in any manner permitted hereunder, or upon the return of any Vehicle.
Lessee shall deliver said Vehicle to Lessor at the Return Location set forth on
Schedule AB. In the event Lessee returns any Vehicle to any other location,
Lessee shall pay all costs incurred by Lessor in returning said Vehicle to the
Return Location. Any Vehicle not returned in good operating condition and
otherwise as set forth herein shall remain leased hereunder and Lessee shall
continue to pay lease payments required hereunder until the required repairs are
completed by Lessee in a manner acceptable to Lessor. Lessee pays Lessor the
actual or estimated cost of repair or Lessee purchases the Vehicle in accordance
herewith.

Lessor's acceptance of a leased Vehicle(s) at any Lessor's location prior to the
completion of the term does not constitute a termination of the Agreement for
the Vehicles(s) unless agreed to in writing by Lessee and Lessor.

22. LESSEE'S PAYMENT OBLIGATION. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any
reason whatsoever, including normal expiration, Lessee's payment obligations
under this Agreement shall not cease until each Vehicle has been returned to
Lessor or paid for as provided herein and all payments and charges due hereunder
have been paid in full. For any Vehicle lost, stolen, totally destroyed or
determined by Lessor to be damaged beyond reasonable cost of repair, Lessee
shall pay Lessor 115% of the FMV of such Vehicle prior to such event. There
shall be no abatement of lease payments and charges until said Vehicle has been
returned to Lessor properly repaired, replaced, or Lessor is compensated as
provided herein. At Lessee's request, Lessor may, from time to time, provide
maintenance and repair services for

<PAGE>

which Lessee is responsible under this Agreement. Lessee shall pay for such
services in accordance with this Agreement.

23. ASSIGNMENT. Lessee shall not sublet the Vehicle nor assign or transfer this
Agreement without Lessor's prior written permission, in which event Lessee's
obligations under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

24. TITLE/FINANCING STATEMENTS. This Agreement is a lease and not a sale and
Lessee shall not by payment of rent hereunder acquire any right, title or
equitable interest in any Vehicle or its title. Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a
security interest in each Vehicle and any asset subject to any contract with any
affiliate of Lessor to secure the payment and performance of Lessee's
obligations under this Agreement.

25. LESSOR IDENTIFICATION. Lessor reserves to itself, its successors and
assigns, at all times during the Lease Term, the right to place and maintain in
one or more locations upon each Vehicle Lessor's or its designee's name, logo or
similar designation.

26. LIENS AND ALTERATION. Lessee shall keep each Vehicle free from any liens,
claims or encumbrances and Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written
consent, make or suffer any changes, alterations, or improvements (including
logos and decals) in or to said Vehicle or remove therefrom any parts,
accessories, attachments or other equipment. All Vehicle alterations and
improvements shall become the property of Lessor upon the termination of this
Agreement.

27. RENEWAL. In the event that Lessee shall, without further written agreement,
continue to hold any Vehicle upon the expiration of its Lease Term, Lessor at
its option may: (a) renew this Agreement for a term and at lease rate specified
in writing by Lessor upon ten (10) days prior notice: or (b) demand the
immediate return of each Vehicle to the Return Location. In the event that
Lessor does not elect either (a) or (b) above, any period during which Lessee
continues to hold any Vehicle shall be billed at the lease rates, subject to
change at any time by Lessor with advance notice to Lessee, and under the terms
and conditions set forth herein.

28. NON-PERFORMANCE OF DELIVERY. Lessor's delivery of the Vehicles may be
subject to delay. Vehicle delivery delay shall not constitute a default by

33. WAIVER. The failure of Lessor to insist at any time upon the strict
performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or to
exercise any right or remedy herein, or the waiver by Lessor of any breach of
any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement shall not be
construed as thereafter waiving any such terms, covenants, conditions, rights or
remedies.

34. MISCELLANEOUS. The form of this Agreement is intended for general use in the
continental United States and, in the event that any of the terms and provisions
thereof are in violation of or prohibited by any law, statute, regulation,
ordinance or order, such terms and provisions shall be deemed amended to conform
thereto without invalidating any other terms or provisions of this Agreement.
Lessee's indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall in each case
include attorneys' fees and costs and shall survive the termination of this
Agreement. This Agreement and the parties' rights and obligations hereunder
shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Lessee hereby
submits to jurisdiction and venue of any courts having situs in the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania and Chester County, Pennsylvania. Lessee hereby waives
any and all rights to a trial by jury of any claim arising in connection with
this Agreement. Section headings are for convenience only and shall not affect
the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

35. CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT. Lessee irrevocably authorizes and empowers any
attorney of any court of record to appear for Lessee in any court (upon the
occurrence of an event of default hereunder) at any time to waive the issuance
and service of process and to confess and enter judgment against Lessee and in
favor of Lessor for such aggregate amount as is unpaid, with accrued interest,
together with costs and attorney's fees equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the
indebtedness then due hereon. The authority granted herein to confess judgment
against Lessee shall not be exhausted by any exercise thereof, but may be
exercised from time to time as often as there is occasion therefor until payment
in full of all amounts due hereunder.
