Lessee will make any claims as to a vehicle against the manufacturers or dealer or other appropriate third parties. Lessor will execute and deliver such instruments as may be reasonably requested by Lessee to enable Lessee to obtain such benefits.

LOCATION, INSPECTION AND USE. Lessee will permanently garage each vehicle in Lessee's possession and control at the garaging location indicated in the Schedule A, or at such other permanent garage location to which the vehicle may have been moved with the prior written consent of Lessor. Lessee will not remove a vehicle from the state where then garaged for more than thirty (30) days or from the forty -eight (48) contiguous United States for any period without Lessor's prior written consent. Whenever reasonably requested by Lessor, Lessee will advise Lessor as to the exact location of a vehicle. Lessor will have the right to inspect a vehicle and observe its use during normal business hours, and Lessee will deliver a vehicle to a location designated by Lessor in reasonable proximity to the place where the vehicle is then required to be permanently garaged for such inspection. Lessee shall comply with all manufacturer's instructions and warranty (00021096:2) - I - requirements and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, including respecting weight limits and inspections and making safety, smog related or other modifications to a vehicle. 9. MAINTENANCE AND FACTORY RECALL. Lessee will have each vehicle maintained by Lessor or another qualified servicing facility in good repair, condition and working order, will be responsible for all parts, mechanisms, devices and labor required to keep the vehicle in such condition and will be responsible for all operating costs incident to the operation of the vehicle. In the event a manufacturer announces a recall campaign of which Lessee has knowledge for the repair and/or replacement of defective parts, Lessee will promptly have the relevant work performed on all affected vehicles by Lessor or a factory authorized dealer. Lessor will send Lessee a copy of any manufacturer's notification received by Lessor indicating that a vehicle or any part attached thereto has a potential defect or other possibly unsafe condition. Lessee waives additional notices from Lessor regarding the same possible defect or other possibly unsafe condition for all other vehicles of the same type to which a prior notification pertains. Lessor has no further obligation with respect to any manufacturer's recall campaign. 10. ALTERATIONS. Without the prior written consent of Lessor, Lessee will not make any alteration, additions or improvements to a vehicle which detracts from its economic value or function utility, except as may be required pursuant to paragraph 8.

Each other vehicle will at all times be titled and, except where not required under applicable law, registered by Lessee, at its own expense and as Lessor's agent and attorney -in -fact with full power and authority to register (but without power to affect title to) such vehicle, in such manner and in such jurisdiction or jurisdictions as Lessor will direct. Lessee will promptly notify Lessor of any necessary or advisable retitling and/or re- registration of a vehicle in a jurisdiction other than one in which such vehicle is then titled and/or registered. Any and all documents of title will be famished or caused to be furnished Lessor by Lessee within sixty (60) days of the date any titling or retitling is directed by Lessor. 12. INSURANCE. Lessee will procure and maintain for each vehicle (a) standard automobile property damage insurance covering fire, theft, collision and comprehensive risks against loss of or damage to the vehicle from any cause whatsoever for not less than the full replacement value thereof (with a deductible amount not in excess of $1,000) naming Lessor and/or its designee as loss payee and (b) public liability and property damage insurance with (1) a combined single limit of liability of not less than $500,000 per occurrence or (2) limits of not less than $100,000 covering one person for arty single occurrence, not less than $300,000 covering more than one person for any single occurrence, and at least $50,000 for property damage or (3) such greater limits as Lessor may from time to time reasonably require upon notice to Lessee, naming Lessee as a named insured and Lessor as an additional insured. All 15 passenger vans are required to carry a combined single limit of liability of not less than $500,000 per occurrence. All such insurance must be in a form and with insurance companies approved by Lessor, must provide at least thirty (30) days advance written notice to Lessor of cancellation, non - renewal, change or modification in any term, condition or amount of protection provided therein, must provide full breach of warranty protection and must provide that the coverage is "primary coverage" for the protection of Lessee and Lessor notwithstanding any other coverage carried by Lessee or Lessor protecting against similar risks. Lessee will assure Lessor's receipt of a policy or certificate evidencing such coverage. In the event of an assignment of this lease by Lessor of which Lessee has notice, Lessee will cause such insurance to provide the same protections to such assignee as its interests may appear. The proceeds of such insurance, at the option of Lessor, will be applied toward (1) the repair of the applicable vehicle, (2) payment due under paragraph 13, or (3) payment of any other obligations of Lessee to Lessor. Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as Lessee's attorney -in -fact with fiill power and authority to do all things, including but not limited to making claims, receiving payments and endorsing documents, necessary to make claims and secure payments due under any policy required hereby. In the event of a projected cancellation or a change of coverage not conforming to these standards, Lessee will procure appropriate substitute coverage not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of cancellation, change or modification. Lessee will also pay Lessor a $25 service charge for any notice of cancellation Lessor processes. Lessee will notify the applicable insurance carrier and Lessor within two (2) business days of any occurrence which may be the basis of a potential claim under any such policy and provide the insurer and Lessor with all data requested pertinent to such occurrence. THE VALID AND COLLECTIBLE LIABILITY INSURANCE AND PERSONAL INJURY PROTECTION OF ANY AUTHORIZED RENTAL OR LEASING DRIVER IS PRIMARY FOR THE LIMITS OF LIABILITY AND PERSONAL INJURY PROTECTION COVERAGE REQUIRED BY §§ 324.021(7) AND 627.736 FLORIDA STATUTES. Not withstanding the foregoing unless otherwise required by Lessor, Lessee may self - insure as to the liability risks contemplated herein. 13. LOSS AND DAMAGE. Lessee assumes the risk of loss or damage to a vehicle, and, except as provided in this paragraph, no such event will affect the duties of the parties under this lease. If a vehicle is lost, stolen, damaged, confiscated, destroyed or otherwise rendered incapable of being in service, Lessee will notify Lessor thereof within five (5) business days. If the vehicle has been damaged, Lessor determines the vehicle is repairable and Lessee's insurer does not declare the vehicle a total loss, Lessee will cause the repairs to be made by Lessor or another qualified repair facility approved by Lessor using, only OEM original manufactured parts and upon receipt of proof of the making thereof Lessor will reimburse Lessee's repair costs up to the amount of any insurance proceeds Lessor receives under any insurance Lessee maintains hereunder. If Lessor determines the vehicle is not reasonably repairable, Lessee's insurer declares the vehicle a total loss or any of the other events specified in the second preceding sentence occurs, Lessee will pay Lessor the "Settlement Value" of the vehicle set forth in paragraph 14. Upon such payment this lease will terminate as to such vehicle and Lessee or Lessee's insurer will be entitled thereto AS -IS, WHERE -IS 14. TERMINATION SETTLEMENT. If the term of the lease exceeds twelve (12) months, at anytime after twelve (12) months from delivery of a vehicle Lessee, upon not less than ten (10) days prior notice to Lessor and provided the lease is not in default, Lessee may surrender such vehicle to Lessor at Lessor's office address shown above or at a location mutually agreed upon by the parties for sale by Lessor as more fully set forth below. Lessee will so surrender the vehicle at such location for such sale at lease expiration. Following such surrender Lessor will sell the vehicle through Lessor's standard wholesale sales procedure for the highest bona fide bid received and open at time of sale, provided that Lessor may choose alternatively to retain the vehicle. Lessor may move the vehicle from the location where surrendered to any other location, including to Lessor's office location shown above where the vehicle is returned to another location, Lessor deems advisable and/or clean and repair the vehicle in connection with such sale in Lessor's sole discretion. If the amount received by Lessor on account of such sale or the highest bona fide bid received and open at time of crediting where the vehicle is retained by Lessor, as appropriate, net in either instance of a handling charge of $150 and Lessor's cost of sale, including sales commissions and costs of cleaning, repairing or transporting the vehicle is greater than the vehicle's then Settlement Value, Lessee will have no settlement obligation to Lessor as to the vehicle and the excess will be returned to Lessee after application to any amounts then owed by Lessee to Lessor. If the net amount is less than the vehicle's Settlement Value, Lessee will pay Lessor the deficiency. The Settlement Value of a vehicle will equal the sum of (a) all amounts then owed by Lessee to Lessor, (b) the then undepreciated balance of the "original value" of the vehicle set forth in the Schedule calculated in accordance with the rules for level yield calculations in Financial Accounting Standards Board's Standard No. 13 utilizing the original value, term, rent (excluding taxes and maintenance charges) and depreciated value at lease expiration and (c) the remaining portion of the sum of two (2) such rent payments amortized on a straight line basis over the lease term considering only full months elapsed. 100021096:21 -2- As an alternative to surrendering a vehicle to Lessor if the lease is not in default, Lessee may purchase the vehicle for its then fair market value equal to its then average wholesale value. Payment of such purchase price will be subject to the same credit and deficiency Hiles which apply when a vehicle is surrendered to Lessor. Any transfer of Lessor's interest in a vehicle, whether to Lessee or a third party, shall be -IS WHERE -IS and without any other warranty. NON - APPROPRIATIONS - In the event no funds or insufficient funds are appropriated and budgeted in any fiscal year for lease amounts due as to any vehicle under this lease and under law Lessee has a right to terminate this lease as to the related vehicle because of such non - appropriation, then Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor or its assignee of such occurrence, and this lease shall terminate as to such vehicle on the last day of the fiscal period for which appropriations were received without penalty or expense to the Lessee of any kind whatsoever, except as to related amounts herein agreed upon for which funds shall have been appropriated and budgeted or are otherwise available and past due amounts and damages because of Lessee's default hereunder. In the event of such termination, Lessee agrees to peaceably surrender possession of the vehicle at a location contemplated in this paragraph to Lessor or its assignee on the date of such termination. Lessor shall have all legal and equitable rights and remedies to take possession of the vehicle. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee agrees (a) that it will not cancel this lease under the provisions of this clause if any funds are appropriated to it or by it for the acquisition, retention, or operation of another vehicle performing functions similar to the such vehicle for the fiscal period in which such termination occurs or the next succeeding fiscal period thereafter and (b) that Lessee shall not, during the term of this lease, give priority in the application of funds to any other functionally similar property. This paragraph shall not be construed so as to permit Lessee to terminate this lease to acquire any other vehicle or to allocate funds directly or indirectly to perform essentially the same application for which the vehicle is intended. 15. LESSOR'S PAYMENT. If Lessee fails to procure or maintain insurance as required herein, to pay any taxes, parking tickets or other assessments required to be paid by Lessee or to perform any other obligation hereunder, Lessor will have the right, but will not be obligated, to effect such insurance, pay said assessments or perform such other obligations. In that event, Lessee will reimburse Lessor's cost thereof and pay Lessor a service charge of $25. 16. TAXES. As indicated in the applicable Schedule, any tax on the rent, as the tax amount may change, is due with the rent. If a vehicle if registered in Florida, the rent includes the Florida tags, and the rent may be adjusted annually on notice to Lessee to anticipate any change in tag fees of over five percent (5 %). Lessee will pay when due or reimburse Lessor for any other official fees and taxes, excluding Lessor's net income taxes, imposed by any governmental authority in connection with this lease or the vehicles. If Lessee is tax exempt, this paragraph does not apply to the extent of the exemption. 17. INDEMNIFICATION. Subject to the limitations of Florida laws, specifically section 768.28, Florida Statutes, Lessee agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements, including court costs and legal expenses, of whatever kind and nature, incurred by or asserted against Lessor (whether or not also indemnified against by any other person) in arty way relating to or arising out of this lease or the manufacture, purchase, ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation, condition, repair, return or other disposition of the vehicles. This indemnification includes vicarious liability and strict liability claims respecting the vehicles, including strict liability claims arising out of events subsequent to the term hereof. Lessee agrees to give Lessor, and Lessor agrees to give Lessee, notice of any claim or liability hereby indemnified against within two (2) business days of learning thereof. 18. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.
