(c). Lessee voluntarily agrees with Lessor after the end of the lease term to make a higher payment.

20. Should the Lessor bring a lawsuit against the Lessee, the Lessor must prove that the original estimate of the value of the leased property at the end of the lease term was reasonable and was made in good faith. For example, Lessor might prove that the actual was less than the original estimated value, although the original estimate was reasonable, because of an unanticipated decline in value for that type of vehicle. Lessor must also pay for attorney's fees.

21. If Lessee disagrees with the value assigned to the Vehicle, Lessee may obtain, at Lessee's own expense, from an independent third party agreeable to both parties, a professional appraisal of the value of the leased vehicle which could be realized at sale. The appraisal value shall then be used as the actual value.

XIV. EARLY TERMINATION DISCLOSURE.

22. Lessee may have to pay a substantial charge if this Lease is ended early. The charge may be up to several thousand dollars. The actual charge will depend on when the Lease is terminated. The earlier the Lease is ended, the greater this charge is likely to be.
