Re: Fire Truck Permanent Financing
Dear Mr. Rozansky:
Following the review of proposals received on January 11, 1993, Capital Market

recommendation. The following recommendation is based on the proposer's ability to
complete the transaction, the rate quoted in the proposal, a local presence and a
confirmation by the City's counsel that the proposed lease and purchase agreement is
workable.
CMC would recommend that the City negotiate the lease-purchase transaction with
Citizens Fidelity Leasing Corporation for a three year financing of the two Emergency
One ftre trucks. The total amount to be ftnanced will be $338,000.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this transmittal please do not hesitate to

make all Rental Payments during the Original Term and each of the

sole discretion determines not to appropriate funds for the
payments of Rental Payments for any Renewal Term then Lessee may

Term or Renewal term, and Lessee shall not be obligated to make

ARTICLE VIII
MAINTENANCE MODIFICATION: TAXES:
INSURANCE AND OTHER CHARGES
Section 8.01 Maintenance of equipment by Lessee. Lessee
agrees that at all times during the lease Term Lessee will, at
Lessee's own cost and expense, maintain, preserve and keep the
equipment in good repair, working order and condition, and that
Lessee will from time to time make or cause to be made all
necessary and proper repairs, replacements and renewals. Lessor
shall have no responsibility in any of these matters, or for the
making of improvements or additions to the Equipment. If requested
by Lessor, Lessee will enter into a maintenance contract for the
Equipment with Vendor.
Section 8.02 Taxes, other Governmental Charges and Utility
Charges. The parties to this Agreement contemplate that the
Equipment will be used for a governmental purpose of Lessee and,
therefore, that the Equipment will be exempt from all tax
presently assessed and levied with respect to personal property.
In the event that the use, possession or acquisition of the
Equipment is found to be subject to taxation in any form (except
for income taxes to Lessor), Lessee will pay during the lease
term, as the same respectively come due, all taxes and
governmental charges of any kind whatsoever that may at any time
be lawfully assessed or levied against or with respect to the
Equipment and any equipment or other property acquired by Lessee
Page 7 of 15
in substitution for, as a renewal of replacement of, or a
modification, improvement or addition to the Equipment, as well as
all gas, water, steam, electricity, heat, power, telephone,
utility and other charges incurred in the operation, maintenance,
use, occupancy and upkeep of the Equipment; provided that, with
respect to any governmental charges that may lawfully be paid in
installments over a period of years, Lessee shall be obligated to
pay only such installments as have occurred during the time this
Agreement is in effect.
Section 8.03 provisions Regarding Insurance. At its own
expense Lessee shall cause casualty, public liability and
property damage insurance to be carried and maintained, or shall
demonstrate to the satisfaction of Lessor that adequate
self-insurance is provided with respect to the Equipment,
sufficient to protect the Full Insurable Value (as that term is
hereinafter defined) of the Equipment, and to protect Lessor from
liability in all events. All insurance proceeds from casualty
losses shall be payable as hereinafter provided in this Agreement.
Lessee shall furnish to Lessor certificates evidencing such
coverage throughout the lease term. Alternatively, Lessee may
insure the equipment under a blanket insurance policy or policies
which cover not only the Equipment but other properties. If Lessee
shall insure similar properties by self-insurance, Lessee will
insure the Equipment by means of an adequate insurance fund.
The term "Full Insurable Value" as used herein shall mean the
full replacement value of the Equipment.
Any insurance policy pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall be
so written or endorsed as to make losses, if any, payable to
Lessee and Lessor as their respective interests may appear. The
Net Proceeds (as defined in Section 9.01) of the insurance
required in this Section 8.03 shall be applied as provided in
Article IX hereof. Each insurance policy provided for in this
Section 8.03 shall contain a provision to the effect that the
insurance company shall not cancel the policy or modify it
materially and adversely to the interest of Lessor without first
giving written notice thereof to Lessor at least 10 days in
advance of such cancellation.
Section 8.04 Advance. In the event Lessee shall fail to
maintain the full insurance coverage required by this Agreement or
shall fail to keep the Equipment in good repair and operating
condition, Lessor may (but shall be under no obligation to )
Page 8 of 15
purchase the required policies or insurance and pay the premiums
on the same or may make such repairs or replacements as are
necessary and provide payment thereof; and all amounts so advanced
therefore by Lessor shall become additional rent for the then
current Original Term or Renewal Term, which amounts, together
with interest thereon Lessee agrees to pay.
ARTICLE IX
DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION;
USE OF NET PROCEEDS
Section 9.01 Damage, Destruction and Condemnation. Unless
Lessee shall have exercised its option to purchase the Equipment
by making payment of the Purchase Price as provided herein, if
prior to the termination of the Lease Term (a) the Equipment or
any portion thereof is destroyed (in whole or part) or is damaged
by fire or other casualty or (b) title to, or the temporary use of
the Equipment or any part thereof shall be taken under the exercise
of the power of eminent domain by the governmental body or any
person, firm or corporation acting under governmental authority,
Lessee and Lessor will cause the Net Proceeds of any insurance
claim or condemnation award to be applied to the prompt repair,
restoration, modification or replacement of the Equipment. Any
balance of the Net Proceeds remaining after such work has been
completed shall be paid to Lessee.
For purposes of Section 8.03 and this Article IX, the term
"Net Proceeds" shall mean the amount remaining from the gross
proceeds of any insurance claim or condemnation award after
deducting all expenses (including attorney's fees) incurred in the
collection of such claims or award.
Section 9.02 Insufficiency of Net Proceeds. If the Net
Proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the cost of any repair,
restoration, modification or improvement referred to in Section
9.01 hereof by reason of Lessee's failure to comply with Section
8.03 hereof, Lessee shall either (a) complete the work and pay any
cost in excess of the amount of Net Proceeds, and Lessee agrees
that if by reason of any such insufficiency of the Net Proceeds,
Lessee shall make any repayments pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 9.02. Lessee shall not be entitled to any
reimbursement therefore from Lessor nor shall Lessee be entitled
to any diminution of the amounts payable under Article VI hereof,
or (b) if Lessee is not default hereunder, Lessee shall pay to
Page 9 of 15
Lessor the amount of the then applicable Purchase Price, and, upon
such payment, the Lease Term shall terminate as provided in
Article XI of this Agreement. The amount of the Net Proceeds in
excess of the then applicable Purchase Price, if any, may be
retained by Lessee.
ARTICLE X

WARRANTIES: USE OF THE EQUIPMENT
Section 10.01 Disclaimer of Warranties. LESSOR MAKES NO
WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE
VALUE, DESIGN, CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR FITNESS FOR USE OF THE EQUIPMENT, OR
WARRANTY WITH RESPECT THERETO. In no event shall Lessor be liable
for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damage in
connection with or arising out of this Agreement or the existence,
furnishing, functioning or Lessee's use of any item or products or
services provided for in this Agreement.
Section 10.02 Vendor's Warranties. Lessor hereby irrevocably
appoints Lessee its agent and attorney-in-fact during the Lease
Term, so long as Lessee shall not be in default hereunder, to
assert from time to time whatever claims and rights, including
warranties of the Equipment, which Lessor may have against the
Vendor of the equipment. Lessee's sole remedy for the breach of
such warranty, indemnification or representation shall be against
the Vendor of the Equipment, and not against Lessor, nor shall
such matters have any effect whatsoever on the rights and
obligations of Lessor with respect to this Agreement, including
the right to receive full and timely payments hereunder. Lessee
expressly acknowledges that Lessor makes, and has made, no
representation or warranties whatsoever as to the existence or
availability of such warranties of the Vendor of the Equipment.
Section 10.03 Use of the Equipment. Lessee will not
install, use, operate or maintain the Equipment improperly,
carelessly, in violation of any applicable law or in a manner
contrary to that contemplated by this Agreement. Lessee shall
provide all permits and licenses, if any, necessary for the
installation and operation of the Equipment. In addition, Lessee
agrees to comply in all respects (including, without limitation,
with respect to the use, maintenance and operation of each item
of the body exercising any power or jurisdiction over the items of
Page 10 of 15
the Equipment); provided, however, that Lessee may contest in good
faith the validity or application of any such law or rule in any
reasonable manner which does not, in the opinion of Lessor,
adversely affect the estate of Lessor in and to any of the items
of the Equipment or its interest or rights under this Agreement.
ARTICLE XI
OPTION TO PURCHASE

equipment will be terminated and this Agreement shall terminate:

upon payment in full of Rental Payments due hereunder, or
(b) at the end of the Original Term or any Renewal Term,
upon payment by Lessee of the then applicable Purchase Price, or

of this Agreement, in the event of total damage, destruction or
condemnation of the Equipment and, if Lessee is not such date in
default under this Agreement, upon payment of the then applicable
Purchase Price to Lessor.

obligations of Lessee to make payments hereunder, may be assigned
and reassigned in whole or in part to one or more assignees or
subassignees by Lessor at any time subsequent to its execution,
without the necessity of obtaining the consent of Lessee; provided
however, that no such assignment or reassignment shall be
effective unless and until (i) Lessee shall have received notice
of the assignment or reassignment disclosing the name and address
of the assignee or subassignee, and (ii) in the event that such
assignment or reassignment is made to a bank or trust company as
trustee for holders of certificates representing interest in this
agreement, such bank or trust company agrees to maintain, or cause
to be maintained, a book-entry system by which a record of the
names and addresses of such holders as of any particular time is
Page 11 of 15
kept and agrees, upon request of Lessee, to furnish such
information to Lessee. Upon receipt of notice of assignment, Lessee
agrees to reflect in a book entry the assignee, designated in such
notice of assignment, and to make all payments to the assignee
designated in the notice of assignment, notwithstanding any claim,
defense, setoff or counterclaim whatsoever (whether arising from a
breach of the Agreement of otherwise) that Lessee may from time to
time have against Lessor, or the assignee. Lessee agrees to
execute all documents, including notices of assignments and
chattel mortgages or financing statements which may be reasonably
requested by Lessor or its assignee to protect their interest on
the Equipment and in this Agreement.
Section 12.02 No Sale, Assignment or Subleasing by Lessee.
This Agreement and the interest of Lessee in the Equipment may not
be sold, assigned or encumbered by Lessee without prior written
consent of Lessor.
