A DJUSTMENT OF R ENTAL A MOUNT P RIOR TO L EASE C LOSING
During the Initial Lease Term and a Renewal
Term, if any, the Rental Amount in place at lease closing will be
fixed. The Rental Amount quoted in this Proposal was calculated
using a rate based on the 3-Year Interest Rate Swap Rate, which was
2.82 as of October 30, 2003. Such Rental Amount shall be adjusted
to lease closing to reflect changes in the 3-Year Interest Rate
Swap Rate until the Rent Commencement Date under the Lease (and
then shall be fixed for the term of the Initial Lease Term and any
Renewal Term) as follows:
IF
the 3-Year Interest Rate Swap Rate for the day
on which the final equipment schedule evidencing this transaction
(as determined by Lessor) is sent to Lessee by Lessor is greater
than or less than the rates shown in the table below.
THEN
for each one basis point (.01%) variance, the
rate upon which the Rental Amount is calculated shall be increased
or decreased, as the case may be, by one basis point
(.01%).
Based upon such new rate, the Rental Amount
shall be adjusted accordingly. As used in this Section, the term
“3-Year Interest Rate Swap Rate” shall mean the 3-Year
Interest Rate Swap Rate as indicated by the Federal Reserve’s
H.15 report, which can be found at:
www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update
R ENTAL P AYMENT O PTIONS
Lessee may choose to pay Rental Amount by using
Lessor’s automatic direct debit service (Option A), subject
to written agreement between Lessor and Lessee, or by issuing a
check payable to Key Equipment Finance (Option B). Please indicate
your preference by checking the correct option at the end of this
proposal.
T ERMINAL R ENTAL A DJUSTMENT
Lessee will represent and warrant that the Lease
constitutes a “Qualified Motor Vehicle Agreement” under
applicable law. Subject to certain notice and absence of defaults
provisions, at the expiration of the Initial Term, Lessee shall
have the option to purchase the Equipment for a purchase price
equal to 40.0% (the “Estimated FMV”), which
represents the parties present best estimate of the fair market
value of the Equipment on such date determined by using
commercially reasonable methods which are standard in the industry.
If Lessee does not exercise the foregoing purchase option, the
Equipment will be sold to a third party. Through the use of a
Terminal Rental Adjustment, any (1) deficiency between the Net
Sales Proceeds (as defined by Lessor) and the Estimated FMV shall
be promptly paid by Lessee to Lessor, and (2) excess of the Net
Sales Proceeds (as defined by Lessor) over the Estimated FMV shall
be promptly paid by Lessor to Lessee.
N ET L EASE
The Lease will be a noncancellable,
net
