• Mayor's ,Task Force Introduction and Overview.
Mayor Carpenter began by stating last summer he envisioned a `Task Force
Committee' consisting of a member representative from each of the current city
volunteer boards and commissions. This committee would meet and talk as a group
about our community priorities and what we could and should do next and collaborate
on what they felt we the city could focus on; what quality of life projects and
improvements are of immediate concern to the community. Members were selected
from each board and now this community involvement team has been meeting
regularly for the past six months.
03 -31 -2015 Minutes Page -1-
City Manager John Keseel passed out a handout to the attendees. He said stated this
could be a reference for us to use and at the same time see the current policy values of
the city.
Mayor Carpenter recognized committee member Mr. Michael Dahle who had each
member of the team stand and introduce themselves. Mr. Dahle said they wanted to
look at community involvement, volunteer fair(s), utilization of websites, etc. One of
the best ideas brought up was about getting kids involved. This already has happened
through the Historical Committee with an Arts and Essay Contest which recently
happened. Then the committee discussed what we I should do as a community in
regard to having a quality of life environment, supporting our local economic engine,
and providing core services to our residents, as well as how to keep a good balance in
these three areas. They also talked about -the city budget aril its impact on the
community. Remembering back to the 2010" bond projects, the general consensus was
we got a little out of balance with concentrating more on quality of life projects.

11r. Kesel added that ,in talking this afternoon with facility master plan staff the fire
station project would be Moser to $8 million if they want to include amenities such as
a large meeting roam, EMS patient treatment room, police room, equipment and other
soft costs.
Mayor, Carpenter stated that the staff has already taken a look at our bond capacity
which estimates we can issue this amount of debt, handle the payments on it, and
remain in ,position that protects our bond rating; and we can do it without raising
taxes. We can spend more or less if we want to but this $20 million is a threshold that
says we can do this without raising taxes. So what are our priorities in using this
amount of money?
Mr. Keseel clarified that in regard to possible TxDOT assistance for road
improvements on FM 1103 and FM 1518 they (TxDOT) have already verbally
committed to a one to one match for FM 1103. This represents a $5 million
investment. The worst scenario is they could come back and say we don't have any
money. Then we would use what we have to maybe make turn lanes or install traffic
03 -31 -2015 Minutes Page - 2 -
signals, widen the roadway, etc. That number needs to be what we can live with even
if TxDOT doesn't help.
There are about 4,000 plots already approved for development in southern Schertz
which means about 10,000 new housing units. There will soon be another school
(elementary) in this area. Currently there is not any room for passing on the roadway
(FM 1518) and traffic quickly gets stacked up, resulting in impatient motorists who
start taking chances in passing. It is an unsafe situation and is a high priority for us to
fix even if TxDOT does not assist us. There are different reports always coming out
regarding growth and Austin (Is') and San Antonio (5th) ate among the top 10 fastest
growing cities. In fact, Travis, Hays, and Comal counties are the fastest growing
counties in the entire nation right now. We are right ' ii the fastest growing traffic
corridor in the nation right now and this means more schools cross roads, water, and
sewage services are necessary. If we get behind it will be harder to catch up. Our
current projections are going to be low and the pace of growth is- getting quicker.
Councilmember Azzoz asked how FM 1518 would look if we did. not get any
monetary assistance from anywhere else. Mt. Kessel stated he thinks `adequate' will
not happen until we widen it to either four or sip lanes. However, if we make turn
lane improvements it will make it more safe and ' effective. We really should do a
design first with a portion of'oui money so that ewe, can deal more efficiently with
TxDOT and their engineers. If right =of ways are nee, dd d, that takes two years to
accomplish. Mr. Azzoz asked how soon,we,clould expect the 4,000 new homes in
south Schertz. Mr. Kessel estimated it would be about 10 years; this includes Willow
Grove, Rhine Valley; and Cross Vibe' developments. The Laurel Heights subdivision
ber Fowler stated he was at The Crossvine subdivision today and was
the number of homes that have already been sold and two families are
already in residence.
Councilmeiber Edwards expressed caution about how many more homes we should
be bringing into the area in the future. We should also consider bringing in Joint Base
San Antonio in our conversations on this subject and talk about securing their future.
We need to consider our future economic engine. Our decisions need to be made for
securing our future.
Mr. Kessel referred everyone back to the handout and said all these projects are
wanted and needed. He referenced roads, both new and existing (those that need to be
rebuilt), as necessary for future development and handling the increased traffic
03 -31 -2015 Minutes Page - 3 -
capacity. Councilmember Azzoz said we have to be careful so we don't run short on
our budget. Costs are rising and you can add 12% to the cost for the day we get to the
point of action. Mr. Kessel agreed that costs will continue to increase and we will
have to consider that. Councilmember Edwards said interest rates are low now and
we should strike while the iron is hot; meet with our financial advisors and see what
they say. Mr. Kessel stated if we issue debt we need to be buying land, doing design,
pursing a project and moving forward. Our limitations are what we have as our bond
capacity without raising taxes and the community's tastes for tax increase. Staff
capacity must also be considered for managing these projects and maintaining them
(example, Fire Station #3).

Councilmember Thompson said he thinks it is all in how we talk to the citizens, not
what we haven't,done but w4 t we have done. Secondly, in regard to acquisition of
Land, has there been some discussion of potentially acquiring some of the land near
Randolph to use s a buffer zone through parks? The task force members said no
they, had not; they recommended city staff, council, and JBSA discuss this subject.
Mr. Kesel said We are working with JBSA and they are not thinking about acquiring
any land by imminent domain. The Air Force is working with us for what they need
and what *,,reed. We need to focus on what is in front of us. Mr. Richard Dziewit
stated we are trying to maintain this project activity to where taxes do not have to go
up. Councilmember Azzoz said that FM 15 is something the public would probably
go for because it is a structural improvement (roadways); FM 1518 is a very crucial
road as is the Fire Station in south Schertz.
Councilmember Fowler pointed out that we decided to get several smaller things
(Animal Adoption Center, Skate Park, Ball Parks, Dog Park) done in a time frame as
we could, and we did, except for the largest one (the swimming pool). If you had
03 -31 -2015 Minutes Page - 4 -
done the pool first, we would not have these other things in place already. Mr. Kessel
agreed there was some logic in doing it this way with what we could accomplish. We
identified we would need $500,000 a year to operate the pool and our operating
budget didn't allow it. It was easier to work on the other projects. While the pool is a
delayed project it will come in on budget and not cause a tax increase.
Ms. Simmons said we cannot control all the variables, we have to act and make
decisions based on what we have now and as we go along in the future. Mr. Dahle
added the people who are planning deal with this and male their best estimates and
adapt accordingly.
Discussion on potential Bond Election process

Mayor Carpenter rrrequested we out an item on the next available agenda to appoint the
bond committee: Mr. Kessl laid this group will have to develop the details that have
to be budgeted and determine the scope so the city attorney and city manager can
write the actual language for council review in June. We also have a number of
things to consider with the classification and compensation study that will be a
significant issue to' work through in a short period of time. We have to prepare the
budget. We, also have the facilities master plan to work with in its final stages. So
the bond committee really needs to have some deliverable data in June.
Mayor Carpenter asked if anyone from the community wanted to speak. No one did.
He then asked the council to consider if this task force should become an ongoing
group (a committee of the various committees) to facilitate even better
communication between the different boards and groups. He requested this be on the
next council agenda. Mr. Dziewit said he has found that this committee has already
opened up communication between the different committees and also the schools and
asked what each other needs. Mayor Carpenter said this group could also become an
03 -31 -2015 Minutes Page - 5 -
important part of the annual budget process. We have the city departments already
working together during the budget planning and we should probably have the
boards, committees and commissions made up of the citizenry have this same
opportunity. It is an alignment of leadership. This could be a very valuable long term
approach to decide what we are going to do, who we are going to be, and how we are
going to spend the people's money.
Councilmember Azzoz thanked everyone for the work they contributed. Mayor
Carpenter asked if anyone had changed their mind about speaking up. Mayor
Carpenter recognized Mr. Glen Outlaw who stated he.felt' they should consider
allowing a few others to join the group as the new bond committee. It could otherwise
be construed as an inside group. Councilmember Azoz said he is not in favor of that
because it would take a lot of time to educate them and bring them up to speed. At
the end of the day, they will be bringing their recommendations to city council and it
will be in their hands. Mr. Outlaw, said the group has done a gre4job, but the next
problem is going to be selling these identified priorities to the public. ' His suggestion
is not to undo what the group has already done but to assist in convincing the public
these are the priorities. Mayor Carpenter suggested w think about this until next
week because this group can do surveys or, otherwise interact with the public.
Councilmember Fowler said there may be times they will need to bring in someone
with some expertise to advise them and add input to their mission. Mr. Dahle said he
also foresees the committee having a "env public meetings for more input.

Construction Manager at Risk (CM @R) Agreement. (J. Kessel /P. Gaudreau)
Mayor Carpenter' recognized Owner's Representative Phil Gaudreau who presented a
quarterly update. He stated we went out and got a RFQ and RFP for a construction
manager at risk on October 23, 2014, got responses back and interviewed the top three
firms on January 7, 2015. . Since then we have been working with the firm to start to align
the project with the budget and are within the $8 million targeted budget. Negotiations
are continuing with the highest ranked firm. The next phase is to bring to council a pre-
construction contract for pre - construction services. That will take us through 95%
completion of the contract documents. Then we would get a final guaranteed maximum
price which council would have to make a decision on.
04 -07 -2015 Minutes Page - 3 -
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Azzoz asked about the money we have
spent so far out of the original bond issue. Mr. Gaudreau stated out of the bond issue we
have about $5.5 million in construction dollars. The school district will furnish $1.65
million and the YMCA $2.0 million.
Executive Director of Development Services Brian James came forward and stated the
YMCA agreement is structured to where the city would issue $2 million in general
obligation bonds and the YMCA would pay us $100,000 a year to pay that off. We will
pay the YMCA to operate the recreation center, the indoor -pool and the outdoor pool.
Right now we pay them $265,000 per year for the two existing outdoor pools plus the
maintenance for three months out of the year. City Manger John Kessel stated the
approximate total would be about $480,000 a year.
Further discussion ensued regarding the day pass price versus the menilbership price and
the building of locker rooms for school students and the public and the window of time
the school students would utilize the facility ,fo�nractice and competitions.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Thompson who asked if the schematic as
designed so far conform to, the original intent of the bond issue in which we have an
enclosed communit/competitittn. style pool. Mr. James replied yes it did. Was there
anywhere in the bond language that excluded receiving monies from outside agencies and
working with us to build an even better quality pool? Mr. James replied no, there was no
exclusion., ,$o is everything we are proposing above board and in design with the original
bond? 1Vlr. dames replied yes.
Mayor Carpenter, recognized Councilmember Fowler who asked if the $100,000 that is
being paid back to us by the YMCA, does that include interest. The answer was no. The
other question is if we have a competition style unity pool, anytime there is a competition
going on in the pool, no one else could use it? Mr. James said yes that is the case. We
have to comply with the bond language, but we want to build one facility to meet the
needs of the community and maximize the ability of that pool.
Mayor Carpenter suggested it sounds like there is a desire to debate the merits of the
project itself. At this point we should limit the discussion to the status of the design and
04 -07 -201.5 Minutes Page - 4 -
the proposed construction manager at risk. If anyone wants to place on a future agenda
an opportunity to debate the merits of the project let us do so in compliance of the open
meetings act. Councilmember Edwards stated they could also put it on one of our
planning sessions as well to discuss it at one of our strategic planning sessions. Mayor
Carpenter agreed.
• Discussion and direction regarding the use of hand held devices while driving and

to limit the use of cell phones and texting while driving: This has a purpose. If it saves
one life it is worth it. There have been numerous news stories on TV recently. San
Antonio passed an ordinance and no one freaked dut. He has observed there are not as
many people using the phone in San Antonio as before`. He would like 's to do the same.
Other cities are going to do it. We have to protect our young people. Vet are not taking
anyone's rights away.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Edwards who stated he believes the state
does have an ordinance up for consideration for banning texting. However, it is not just
texting that concerns him, but distr4clinn(s) in general while driving (putting on makeup,
shaving, eating /drinking a beverage,, changing the radio station, etc.) He takes
responsibility for his own actions. He doesn't think he needs the government in his car.
If we don't have anything that says distracted driving at all then maybe we can consider
this; but if the state is, already working on it, he doesn't see the reason to be redundant.
When the law ) passed state wide, the San Antonio law will be null and void correct?
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Thompson who stated he would not assume
because a vote failed: two weeks ago we are anti texting and driving. There are a variety
of reasons that measure failed; vague language, duplicating efforts if a state measure
passed, not wanting any more government involvement.
Mayor Carpenter stated here is one of the things that was considered last time. He read
some information from the (September 2010) Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and
the Highway Laws Data Institute which basically resulted in findings that hand held
phone ban laws did not help reduce distracted driving accidents. He read also that about
3% of accidents are related to a phone and 14% are related to people having conversation
with another person in the car. As an alternative, if this is something we want to pass an
ordinance on, we consider a different approach. Perhaps rather than saying you can't
04 -07 -2015 Minutes Page - 5 -
participate in an activity, but if you are caught causing an accident, then you will be
punished more severely than if you not using such a device. He struggles with passing an
ordinance when empirical data suggests it would be neutral or potentially make things
worse. If we pass an ordinance that says you can't text and that person decides they are
not going to stop texting and they have the device down below and they are texting
looking down, that is scary.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Azzoz who stated there are already about
27 states that already are banning texting and driving. Don't text and drive. It takes
people's lives.

Mayor Carpenter stated that he asked that this be put on the agenda pursuant to a meeting
they gad last Tuesday evening with what is currently titled the Mayor's Task Force on
Community involvement and future planning. He stated that he believes and Council will
tell him ,and us what they think. It's been an interesting experiment that has yielded
something that he did not really anticipate, and that is we have individuals from each of
our Boards, Committees and Commissions that have come together in a separate
committee and are providing insight and advice on future planning for the City as to
whether or not we should have bond proposals, how we can involve the community more
effectively, and being able to give commentary to the Council on what the combined
Boards, Committees, and Commissions feel are items of importance for this Community.
Mayor Carpenter asked for the Council to have a discussion about whether or not this
Council should sanction this as one of its Boards, Commissions, and Committees, this
Committee of Committees. Mayor Carpenter opened it up for Council discussion.

Mayor Carpenter recognized Mayor Pro -Tem Edwards who stated that he thinks this is
one of the best ideas we have done in quite some time. Not only did we do a good job
with this and our committee has done a great job, he believes that this is something that
needs to be permanent and should also be part of the budget process as well. Mayor Pro -
Tem Edwards also stated that he would like to see some leadership as a Committee Chair
person. He stated that he knows they mentioned that everyone would be equal but if the
committee would not mind either choosing a Chair person from themselves, or have the
Council appoint one. Mayor Pro -Tem Edwards asked for the Committees and Council's
thoughts.

SERVICES WITH, CLASSCOCK COUNTY AND OTHER MATTERS IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH
Mayor Carpenter recognized Interim Executive Director Dudley Wait who stated that in
2012 the EMS came forward with a request from the City of Alamo Heights asking
Schertz EMS to do their billing for them. In 2012 we brought them on board and they
have been pleased with our services. In the summer of 2014, . we were contacted by the
Glasscock County EMS Director regarding EMS Billing. Glasscock County EMS is a
volunteer EMS that provides all EMS transports for the approximately 1,300 residents of
the county. This small volunteer agency has, since its inception, relied on donations and
fundraisers to provide ambulance services and has not charged their residents or visitors
any user fees. With the influx of oil and gas companies their call volume has risen and is
04 -07 -201.5 Minutes Page - 10 -
putting a new level of demand on their resources, to the point that their traditional
funding can no longer sustain them. In an effort to begin this, their EMS Director
contacted Allison Gorzell, EMS Billing Manager and myself to seek assistance in getting
started. It was during this process, that the County asked Schertz EMS to not only assists
them in getting started but to consider providing Billing Services on a go- forward basis.
In conducting a multi -year review of their EMS activity, it was determined that
Glasscock County EMS is currently responding to approximately twenty (20) ambulance
requests a month. This is up from approximately ten (10) requests a month prior to their
current influx of oil and gas exploration. In comparison, our EMS is currently responding
to approximately 27 requests per day and transporting 19 patients per day. This volume
better compares to the activity that Schertz EMS sees within t,ht,City Limits of Marion on
a monthly basis.

While the city pays for utility hookups, the Chamber pays for its own internet hookup and

like to hear from members of the committee on this subject. Several members spoke up and
said they all felt a chairman should be appointed and it did not matter if that task was left
UP to them. or if council wanted to appoint someone. Councilmember Azzoz recommended
the committee, make the appointment. Councilmember Fowler asked who would be their
secretary and that they needed to think about that also. Mr. Dahle pointed out that even
though the same members exist, the Bond Committee is going to be separate from the
Committee of Committees. The Bond Committee is going to focus on the bond itself and
take actions they feel will get the community involved and informed about the bond
election versus the Committee of Committees that will deal with many different issues. He
thinks the next few months the Bond Committee will be meeting and the Committee of
Committees will suspend their activities until after the election. Mayor Carpenter said he
will be asking the city attorney for guidance on not forming a committee by this council
until after the bond election. We should also allow the Bond Committee to select their own
Chairman. The decisions on how to spend the citizen's money always seems to ultimately

Reading
The City received a petition for patrol and enforcement of traffic rules for the gated community
of Carolina Crossing South. The petition was confirmed by the GIS Department that all
signatures are homeowners within the gated community.
Carolina Crossing South is the first gated community to request traffic control patrol and
enforcement within the City. Carolina Crossing South Home Owners Association Board and
Signed Petitioners have agreed to the terms as stated in the Petition.
The Texas Transportation Code allows the following:
On petition of 25 percent of the property owners residing in the subdivision or on the
request of the governing body may extend by ordinance any traffic rules that apply to a
road owned by the municipality, or by the county which the municipality is located, to
the roads in the subdivision so that the roads of the subdivision are under the same traffic
rules, if the governing body of the municipality finds the ordinance in the interest of the
municipality generally.
The subdivision has 103 lots and 25% requires 26 signatures. The total number of petitioners
was 28.
On January 13, 2015, City Council passed Resolution 15 -R -07 Authorizing the City Manager to
enter into an agreement with the Carolina Crossing South Homeowners' Association (HOA) for
the Purpose of Traffic Control. In order to comply with the Agreement, the City must adopt an
ordinance to provide for the enforcement of traffic rules and laws within the Subdivision.
Ordinance 15 -D -12 extends state and local traffic rules to the private roads located within the
Carolina Crossing South Subdivision and sets the maximum speed limit for those streets at 20
miles per hour, consistent with other local residential streets throughout the City. It also
identifies and establishes the stop intersections within the Subdivision.
City Council approved this on first reading at their meeting of April 7, 2015.
Goal
The goal of Ordinance 1.5 -D -12 is to extend traffic rules and enforce such rules within the private
Carolina Crossing South Subdivision.
Community Benefit
It is the City's desire to serve its citizens by providing enforcement of traffic rules within a
private development if requested by the governing body of that subdivision.
Summary of Recommended Action
Staff recommends Council approve the Ordinance extending traffic control rules in the Carolina
Crossing South Subdivision.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact. Traffic control enforcement will occur during routine patrols.

Agenda No. 3
CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: April 14, 2015
Department: Fire Department
Subject: Resolution No. 15 -R -30 - Authorization to lease -
purchase two (2) new patient care
monitor /defibrillators to replace aging equipment.
The Fire Department first responds along with EMS to critical life threatening emergencies every
day. On each and every one of these responses, the piece of equipment that is utilized from the
moment we make contact with the patient until that contact is complete is our Patient Care
Monitor /Defibrillator. This device, the Physio Control LifePak has the ability to monitor blood
pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood, the patient's
EKG rhythm, the 12 -lead EKG and, when needed, the ability to deliver therapeutic electricity to
the patient to correct life threatening cardiac dysrhythmias.
Our current devices, the LifePak 12, have been in service for over eleven years and have
performed flawlessly. Unfortunately, these devices have exceeded their life span of ten years
and due to technology changes and medical advancements; they will no longer be supported by
Physio Control within the next eighteen months. The most up -to -date device is now the LifePak
15.
The EMS Department lease purchased ten (10) of these devices in 2013 on a lease with a finance
rate of 0% and will last sixty months. To maintain system consistency and allow both Fire and
EMS crews to work with identical equipment on the most critical of patients, we desire to
purchase these two devices that are identical to the EMS devices. Additionally, the EMS lease
allows the City to purchase these two devices by addendum to the original EMS lease with their
own sixty month term.
Although the life span of these new monitors will be ten years, this lease will allow us to re-
evaluate where technology and patient care is in five years at the expiration of the lease and then
to make a decision to keep them for five additional years or make a decision to replace them at
the conclusion of the lease.
We are also planning to pre - purchase five years of the Physio Control maintenance and repair
service plan on the monitors and finance that across the term of the lease. We currently have this
plan in place on our current monitors, and due to their importance in patient care, we need to
continue it to insure our devices are always properly functioning and calibrated appropriately.
Traditionally, we have purchased this plan in two year increments through the normal budgeting
process but placing this plan into the lease will provide additional savings over the five years.
This plan covers on -site maintenance and repair, an annual service call to re- calibrate and test
each device and replacement batteries as needed. By purchasing five years of this plan at the
time of service, we get the annual inspection service call during year one where each device is
City Council Memorandum
Page 2
covered by warranty and then five full years of the plan after the warranty expires. By
purchasing the entire plan up front, we save $150 per year per device and are insulated from any
price increases in service plans throughout the first six years of the monitor's life.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact for FY 2015 . will be $6,934.70. The amount for FY 2016 . through FY 2018 .
will be $15,803.28. The lease will conclude in FY 2019 with a total payment of $7,866.18. The
Fire Department budget for FY 2015 . includes a budgeted amount of $14,000 for this first year.
In addition, the lease documents provide an out clause that terminates the lease if these funds are
not appropriated at any time in the future for the life of the lease.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 15 -R -30 authorizing the City Manager to sign
lease purchase agreements with U.S. Bank for the acquisition of two Physio Control LifePak 15
monitor /defibrillators.

Addendum to Master Lease Agreement dated November 12, 2013, between CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS, DBA: SCHERTZ EMS,
as Lessee and U.S. Bank Equipment Finance, a division of U.S. Bank National Association, as Lessor.
The parties wish to amend the above - referenced Lease by adding the following language:
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF LESSEE: Lessee hereby represents and warrants to Lessor that: (a)
except as otherwise described herein, Lessee has been duly authorized by the Constitution and laws of the applicable
jurisdiction and by a resolution of Lessee's governing body to execute and deliver this Lease and to carry out Lessee's
obligations hereunder; (b) all legal requirements have been met, and procedures have been followed, including public
bidding, in order to ensure the enforceability of this Lease; (c) this Lease is in compliance with all laws applicable to Lessee,
including any debt limitations or limitations on interest rates or finance charges; (d) the Equipment will be used by Lessee
only for essential governmental or proprietary functions of Lessee consistent with the scope of Lessee's authority, will not be
used in a trade or business of any person or entity, by the federal government or for any personal, family or household use,
and Lessee's need for the Equipment is not expected to diminish during the term of this Lease; (e) Lessee has funds available
to pay contracted Payments until the end of Lessee's current appropriation period, and Lessee intends to request funds to
make contracted Payments in each appropriation period, from now until the end of the term of this Lease Schedule Number
030 -51436 -002; and(f) Lessee's exact legal name is as set forth on page one of this Lease.
NON - APPROPRIATION OR RENEWAL: If either sufficient funds are not appropriated to make contracted Payments or
any other amounts due under this Lease or (to the extent required by applicable law) this Lease is not renewed, this Lease
shall terminate and Lessee shall not be obligated to make contracted Payments under the Lease beyond the then - current fiscal
year for which funds have been appropriated. Upon such an event, Lessee shall, no later than the end of the fiscal year for
which contracted Payments have been appropriated, deliver possession of the Equipment to Lessor. If Lessee fails to deliver
possession of the Equipment to Lessor, the termination shall nevertheless be effective but Lessee shall be responsible, to the
extent permitted by law and legally available funds, for the payment of damages in an amount equal to the portion of
contracted Payments thereafter coming due that is attributable to the number of days after the termination during which
Lessee fails to deliver possession and for any other loss suffered by Lessor as a result of Lessee's failure to deliver possession
as required. Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing within seven days after Lessee's failure to appropriate funds sufficient for
the payment of the contracted Payments or (to the extent required by applicable law) this Lease is not renewed, but failure to
provide such notice shall not operate to extend the Lease term or result in any liability to Lessee.
The parties wish to amend the above - referenced Lease by restating the following language:
Any provision in the Lease stating this Lease supersedes any invoice and /or purchase order is hereby amended and restated as
follows: "Lessee agrees that the terms and conditions of the Lease and any supplement or schedule thereto and any related
acceptance certificate constitutes the entire Lease regarding the financing or lease of the Equipment and supersedes any
purchase order, invoice, request for proposal or other related document."
Any provision in the Lease stating that the Lease shall automatically renew unless the Equipment is purchased, returned or a
notice requirement is satisfied is hereby amended and restated as follows: "This Lease will renew for month -to -month terms
unless Lessee purchases or returns the Equipment (according to the conditions herein) or sends Lessor written notice at least
30 days (before the end of any term) that Lessee does not want it renewed."
Any provision in the Lease stating that Lessor may assign this Lease is hereby amended and restated as follows: "Lessor
may sell, assign, or transfer this Lease without notice to or consent from Lessee, and Lessee waives any rights Lessee may
have to such notice or consent."
Any provision in the Lease stating that Lessee grants Lessor a security interest in the Equipment to secure all amounts owed
to Lessor under any Lease is hereby amended and restated as follows: "To the extent permitted by law, Lessee grants Lessor
a security interest in the Equipment to secure all amounts Lessee owes Lessor under this Lease, and Lessee authorizes Lessor
to file a UCC -1 financing statement or be named on the vehicle title to show Lessor's interest."
Any provision in the Lease stating that Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless is hereby amended and restated as
follows: "Lessee shall not be required to indemnify or hold Lessor harmless against liabilities arising from the Lease.
However, as between Lessee and Lessor, and to the extent permitted by law and legally available funds, Lessee shall bear the
risk of loss for, shall pay directly, and shall defend against any and all claims, liabilities, proceedings, actions, expenses,
damages or losses arising under or related to the Equipment, including, but not limited to, the possession, ownership, lease,
use or operation thereof, except that Lessee shall not bear the risk of loss of, nor pay for, any claims, liabilities, proceedings,
actions, expenses, damages or losses that arise directly from events occurring after Lessee have surrendered possession of the
Equipment in accordance with the terms of the Lease to Lessor or that arise directly from Lessor's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. "
Any provision in the Lease stating that a default by Lessee under any Lease with Lessor's affiliates or other lenders shall be
an event of default under the Lease is hereby amended and restated as follows: "Lessee will be in default if: (i) Lessee does
not pay any Payment or other sum due to Lessor under the Lease when due or if Lessee fails to perform in accordance with
the covenants, terms and conditions of this Lease, (ii) Lessee makes or has made any false statement or misrepresentation to
Lessor, (iii) Lessee dissolves, terminates Lessee's existence or files bankruptcy, or (iv) there has been a material adverse
change in Lessee's financial, business or operating condition."
Any provision in the Lease stating that Lessee shall pay Lessor's attorneys' fees is hereby amended and restated as follows:
"In the event of any dispute or enforcement of rights under this Lease or any related Lease, Lessee agrees to pay, to the
extent permitted by law and to the extent of legally available funds, Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees (including any
incurred before or at trial, on appeal or in any other proceeding), actual court costs and any other collection costs, including
any collection agency fee."
Any provision in the Lease requiring Lessee to pay amounts due under the Lease upon the occurrence of a default, failure to
appropriate funds or failure to renew the Lease is hereby amended to limit such requirement to the extent permitted by law
and legally available funds.
Any provision in the Lease stating that the Lease is governed by a particular state's laws and Lessee consents to such
jurisdiction and venue is hereby amended and restated as follows: "This Lease will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws (without regard to the conflict of laws provisions) of the state where Lessee is located but giving
effect to federal laws applicable to national banks. Lessee consents to jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court in
such state and waives the defense of inconvenient forum."
By signing this Addendum, Lessee acknowledges the above changes to the Lease and authorizes Lessor to make such changes. In all
other respects, the terms and conditions of the Lease remain in full force and effect and remain binding on Lessee.
