(ii) Failure by Lessee to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be observed or performed with respect to any Equipment Group, other than as referred to in Clause (i) of this Section, for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied has been given to Lessee by Lessor, unless Lessor shall agree in writing to an extension of such time prior to its expiration; provided, however, if the failure stated in the notice cannot be corrected within the applicable period, Lessor will not unreasonably withhold its consent to an extension of such time if corrective action is instituted by Lessee within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected. (iii) The filing by Lessee of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or failure by Lessee promptly to lift any execution, garnishment or attachment of such consequence as would impair the ability of Lessee to carry on its governmental function or adjudication of Lessee as a bankrupt, or assignment by Lessee for the benefit of creditors, or the entry by Lessee into an agreement of composition with creditors, or the approval by a court of competent jurisdiction of a petition applicable to Lessee in any proceedings instituted under the provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Statute, as amended, or under any similar acts which may hereafter be enacted. 8 010 0 The provisions of this Section 12.1 and Section 12.2 are subject to the following limitation: if by reason of force maieure Lessee is unable in whole or in part to carry out its obligations under this Lease with respect to any Equipment Group, other than its obligation to pay Rental Payments with respect thereto which shall be paid when due notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, Lessee shall not be deemed in default during the continuance of such inability.

Section 12.2. Remedies on Default. Whenever any event of default referred to in Section 12.1 hereof shall have happened and be continuing with respect to any Equipment Group, Lessor shall have the right, at its option and without any further demand or notice, to take one or any combination of the following remedial steps: (i) Lessor, with or without terminating this Lease with respect to such Equipment Group, may declare all Rental Payments due or to become due with respect to such Equipment Group during the Fiscal Year in effect when the default occurs to be immediately due and payable by Lessee, whereupon such Rental Payments shall be immediately due and payable. (ii) Lessor, with or without terminating this Lease with respect to such Equipment Group, may repossess the Equipment Group by giving Lessee written notice to deliver such Equipment group to Lessor, whereupon Lessee shall do so in the manner provided in Section 12.3; or in the event Lessee fails to do so within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, Lessor may enter upon Lessee's premises where the Equipment Group is kept and take possession of the Equipment Group and charge Lessee for costs incurred in repossessing the Equipment Group, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

If the Equipment Group or any portion of it has been destroyed or damaged beyond repair, Lessee shall pay the applicable Purchase Option Price of the Equipment Group, as set forth in Exhibit a (Less credit for Net Proceeds), to Lessor. Notwithstanding the fact that Lessor has taken possession of the Equipment Group, Lessee shall continue to be responsible for the Rental Payments due with respect thereto during the Fiscal Year then in effect. If this Lease has not been terminated with respect to such Equipment Group, Lessor shall return the Equipment to Lessee at Lessee's expense when the event of default is cured. (III) If Lessor terminates this Lease with respect to such Equipment Group and takes possession of such Equipment contained therein, Lessor shall within thirty (30) days thereafter use its best efforts to sell such Equipment or any portion thereof in a commercially reasonable manner at public or private sale in accordance with applicable State laws. Lessor shall apply the proceeds of such sale to pay the following items in the following order: (a) all costs incurred in securing possession of the Equipment Group; (b) all expenses incurred in completing the sale; (c) the applicable Purchase Option Price; (d) the balance of any Rental Payments with respect to such Equipment Group owed by Lessee during the Fiscal Year then in effect. Any Sale proceeds remaining after the requirements of Clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) have been met may be retained by Lessor.

Section 12.3. Return of Equipment.

If Lessee refuses to return the Equipment Group in the manner designated, Lessor may repossess the Equipment Group and charge to Lessee the costs of such repossession or pursue any remedy described in Section 12.2. Section 12.4. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to Lessor by this Article is intended to be exclusive and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Lease.

Gentlemen: I have acted as counsel to Lessee with respect to the Lease with Option to Purchase Agreement described above (the Lease) and various related matters, and in this capacity have reviewed a duplicate original or certified copy of the Lease and the Exhibits attached thereto. Based upon the examination of these and such other documents as I deem relevant, it is my opinion that: 1. Lessee is a municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Texas (the State), duly organized, existing and operating under the Constitution and laws of the State. 2. Lessee is authorized and has power under applicable law to enter into the Lease, and to carry out its obligations thereunder and the transactions contemplated thereby. 3. The Lease has been duly authorized, approved, executed and delivered by and on behalf of Lessee, and is a valid and binding contract of Lessee enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent Limited by State and Federal laws affecting remedies and by bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights. 4. The authorization, approval and execution of the Lease and all other proceedings of Lessee relating to the transactions contemplated thereby have been performed in accordance with all applicable open meeting, public bidding and all other taus, rules and regulations of the State. 5. The execution of the Lease and the appropriation of moneys to pay the Rental Payments coming due thereunder do not result in the violation of any constitutional, statutory or other limitation relating to the manner, form or amount of indebtedness which may be incurred by lessee. 6. There is no litigation, action, suit or proceeding pending or before any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body, that challenges the organization or existence of Lessee; the authority of Lessee or its officers or its employees to enter into the Lease; the proper authorization, approval and/or execution of the Lease, Exhibits thereto and other documents contemplated thereby; the appropriation of moneys to make Rental Payments under the Lease for the current fiscal year of Lessee; or the ability of Lessee otherwise to perform its obligations under the Lease and the transactions contemplated thereby. 7.
