Financial Considerations:

All the above vendors will handle co-terminus leases.
All carry the paper in house.
Generally, financial information is necessary for leases over 100k.
Rates are often expressed as a factor rather than an interest rate.
Most will not penalize for early buy-out. Know your early payment options.

Asset Management Reports available.
Secure and green removal services generally available.
Please consult your accountant to be sure your lease fits financially.
If tax considerations are key, pre-qualify the lease to FASB-13, before you sign it.

Have your vendor (Continental Resources), contact your lessor to hand shake administratively.
