MASTER LEASE

In essence, the Master Lease agreement determines a particular set of terms and conditions which are negotiated with you at the outset - very similar to the conditions on the reverse of our current documentation. As and when you wish to order a piece of equipment, you will complete the tailor made order form which gives reference to the Master Lease agreement and details of the equipment with their agreed costs. This may be facilitated on your own purchase orders.

The Master Lease agreement makes the process of ordering equipment far more convenient and will shorten the purchasing cycle.

For a guideline the Master Lease is applicable to those customers who are interested in acquiring approximately £50,000 - £1,000,000 worth of equipment, and also warrants this amount of credit. I have summarised below the main points of the Master Lease agreement, an example of which is attached:

Firstly the terms of the agreement are pre-negotiated with you. The details that are confirmed at this stage and form part of the agreement include:

- An Order Form (see schedule A) which details all the information that must be included to instigate a separate lease for each order.

- Details of all types of equipment available and the payments in respect of their rental and any maintenance (schedule to be attached to Master Lease agreement).

- The Terms & Conditions of Hire are specified at this point and the Order Form gives reference to the Master Lease agreement.

- Each time a purchase unit of your company wishes to lease as an additional piece of equipment, an order form is completed and signed, and a separate lease will be instigated in the normal way. This includes the ability to upgrade equipment in the usual way and add to existing equipment on a Co-terminus basis.

- The benefits of convenience of order, ease of supply and the assurance of using an approved computer supplier will produce time and cost savings for you.
