Each agreement must provide in substance that:
(a) The systems or devices particularly described in the agreement are leased by the State, as lessor, to the county, as lessee, for a term of 2 years from the date of the agreement, with an exclusive option in the lessee to extend the term for like periods of 2 years at a time.
(b) The lessee will maintain and insure the systems and devices for the original term and each succeeding agreed term.
(c) The aggregate of rental payments for a term of 2 years under the lease does not exceed 10 percent of the purchase price of the systems and devices described in the agreement.
