(b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the holders of Series 1998-1 Notes evidencing 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Note Principal Balance, by written notice to the Obligors' Agent and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 42 46 (i) the Series Obligors have paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: (A) all principal on any Class A Notes, Class B Notes and Class C Notes which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon from the date when the same first became due until the date of payment or deposit at the Class A-1 Interest Rate, the Class A-2 Interest Rate, the Class A-3 Interest Rate, the Class A-4 Interest Rate, the Class B Interest Rate and the Class C Interest Rate, as applicable.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 4.03 Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall immediately give notice to each Series 1998-1 Noteholder and shall solicit the Series 1998-1 Noteholders for advice. The Trustee shall then take such action as so directed by the holders of Series 1998-1 Notes evidencing 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Note Principal Balance). (b) Following any acceleration of the Series 1998-1 Notes, the Trustee shall have all of the rights, powers and remedies with respect to the Series 1998-1 Trust Estate as are available to secured parties under the UCC or other applicable law. Such rights, powers and remedies may be exercised by the Trustee in its own name as trustee of an express trust. 43 47 (c) If an Event of Default specified in Section 4.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Series Obligors for the whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. SECTION 4.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any Series 1998-1 Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Series 1998-1 Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Series 1998-1 Noteholders, as the case may be. SECTION 4.12 Control by Series 1998-1 Noteholders. The Holders of 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Note Principal Balance shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Series 1998-1 Notes.

Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the Master Agreement, this Series 1998-1 Supplement or the Series 1998-1 Notes; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 4.14 Undertaking for Costs. All parties hereto agree (and each Series 1998-1 Noteholder by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed) that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Master Agreement, this Series 1998-1 Supplement or the Series 1998-1 Notes, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Series 1998-1 Noteholder, or group of Series 1998-1 Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the then Outstanding Note Principal Balance of the Series 1998-1 Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Series 1998-1 Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Series 1998-1 Note on or after the maturity date for such payments. SECTION 4.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Series Obligors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of the Master Agreement, this Series 1998-1 Supplement or the Series 1998-1 Notes; and the Contributor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. SECTION 4.16 Sale of Series 1998-1 Trust Estate. (a) The power to effect any sale of any portion of the Series 1998-1 Trust Estate pursuant to Section 4.03 shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Series 1998-1 Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Series 1998-1 Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Series 1998-1 Notes shall have been paid. The Trustee may from time to time, upon directions in accordance with Section 4.12, postpone any public sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale. For any public sale of the Series 1998-1 Trust Estate, the Trustee shall have provided each Series 1998-1 Noteholder with notice of such sale at least two weeks in advance of such sale which notice shall specify the date, time and location of such sale. 49 53 (b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustee shall not in any private sale sell to a third party the Series 1998-1 Trust Estate, or any portion thereof unless, (i) the holders of 66-2/3% of the then Outstanding Note Principal Balance consent to or direct the Trustee in writing to make such sale; or (ii) the proceeds of such sale would be not less than the sum of all amounts due to the Trustee hereunder and the entire Outstanding Note Principal Balance and interest due or to become due thereon on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such sale.

After such Payment Date, interest on the Series 1998-1 Notes so redeemed shall cease to accrue. Each Series 1998-1 Noteholder shall use reasonable efforts to present its redeemed Series 1998-1 Note to the Trustee at the office, if any, specified in the notice described in clause (iv) of this paragraph (a), or in any similar written notice, within sixty (60) days of such Series 1998-1 Noteholder's receipt of the final payment of its Series 1998-1 Note. Each Noteholder shall indemnify the Trustee for any damages suffered by the Trustee as a result of the Noteholder's failure to present its Series 1998-1 Note on or after the final Payment Date thereof.

LESSEE hereby leases from LESSOR, and LESSOR hereby leases to LESSEE, subject to the terms of this Master Lease Agreement, the items of equipment and other personal property (hereinafter together with all replacements, replacement parts, substitutions, additions, and accessories therefor and/or thereto, collectively referred to as the "Equipment") which is described in the Schedule(s) executed hereunder. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Master Lease Agreement and any additional provision of such Schedule, the additional provisions of such Schedule shall prevail with respect to such Schedule only. LESSEE authorizes LESSOR to insert the equipment lease number and other missing terms, if any, following LESSEE's execution of any Lease. Each Lease is irrevocable and non-cancelable for the full term stated therein. 2. TERM. The terms of this Master Lease Agreement shall commence on the date this Master Lease Agreement is executed by LESSOR and shall continue in effect thereafter so long as any Schedule entered into pursuant hereto remains in effect or, if no such Schedule is in effect, until either LESSOR or LESSEE gives the other party hereto written notice of cancellation. The term of each Lease shall become effective upon acceptance by LESSOR by signing and dating each Schedule and shall continue for the period specified in the Schedule as the lease term. Upon delivery of any Equipment to LESSEE, LESSEE shall forthwith inspect such Equipment and shall execute and deliver to LESSOR a Delivery and Acceptance Certificate, in a form and substance satisfactory to LESSOR. LESSEE's execution and delivery of a Delivery and Acceptance Certificate covering any Equipment shall conclusively establish, as between LESSOR and LESSEE, that such Equipment has been unconditionally accepted by LESSEE for all purposes of that Lease. Unless LESSEE notifies LESSOR in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Lease term of its intention to terminate each Lease, that Lease shall automatically be extended for a period of one year and shall continue from year to year thereafter until terminated. 3. RENT. The aggregate rent to be paid over the term of each Lease shall be equal to the total number of rental payments stated in each Schedule, multiplied by the amount of each payment, plus applicable taxes and other charges thereunder. The due date of the first lease payment is the date upon which the Equipment is delivered to LESSEE, or any later date designated by LESSOR. The monthly payment will be based upon the estimated cost of all Equipment and shall be adjusted upward or downward if the actual cost of the Equipment exceeds or is less than that estimate. LESSEE UNDERSTANDS THAT LESSOR'S OBLIGATION IS TO PURCHASE THE EQUIPMENT FOR LESSEE'S USE. IN CONSIDERATION THEREFORE, AND TO INDUCE LESSOR TO PURCHASE THE EQUIPMENT AND ENTER INTO EACH LEASE, LESSEE AGREES THAT ITS OBLIGATION TO MAKE THE LEASE PAYMENTS IS ABSOLUTE, UNCONDITIONAL AND INDEPENDENT, AND IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY ABATEMENT, SET-OFF, DEFENSE OR COUNTERCLAIM FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, EQUIPMENT FAILURE, DAMAGE, LOSS OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OR PROBLEM. LESSEE agrees that if all or any part of a lease payment is not received within 5 days of its due date, LESSEE shall pay a late charge equal to 10% of the amount due or $5.00, whichever is greater, which LESSEE and LESSOR stipulate is a reasonable prediction of LESSOR's costs of collection and not a penalty. Any payment of a smaller sum than due at any time shall not constitute a release or an accord or satisfaction for any greater sum due, regardless of any endorsement restriction. 4. SECURITY DEPOSIT. A security deposit will be due and payable at the time LESSEE signs each Lease. In case the Lease is never finalized for any reason that is not the fault of LESSOR, such deposit may be retained Page 1 of 5 64 by LESSOR in liquidation of documentation and processing expenses. The security deposit shall secure all obligations of LESSEE thereunder and may be applied in LESSOR's discretion to any past due obligation of LESSEE, and to the extent not applied shall be returned to LESSEE without interest upon termination of the Lease provided LESSEE is not then in default under the Lease and has satisfied all terms and conditions thereunder. 5. DELIVERY AND INSTALLATION. LESSEE shall at its sole discretion select the type, quantity and supplier of each item of Equipment. LESSOR shall not be liable to LESSEE for any failure or delay in obtaining delivery of any Equipment. LESSEE understands that LESSOR is not responsible for delivery or installation. LESSEE shall pay any delivery and installation charges of the Equipment. LESSEE holds LESSOR harmless from specific performance of any Lease and from any damages if for any reason the manufacturer, supplier, vendor or distributor (collectively referred to in this Master Lease Agreement as "Vendor") delays in delivery, or if the Equipment is unsatisfactory for any reason. 6. SELECTION AND ACQUISITION OF EQUIPMENT. With respect to each Lease, LESSEE acknowledges that (1) LESSOR has not selected the Vendor and has not selected, manufactured, supplied or dealt with the Equipment, and LESSOR has no familiarity or expertise with respect to the Equipment and has made no determination as to whether the Equipment is suitable for LESSEE's purposes; (2) LESSEE alone has selected the Vendor and the Equipment based on LESSEE's own independent judgment; (3) LESSOR is or will be acquiring the Equipment solely in connection with each Lease at LESSEE's request; (4) prior to entering into each Lease, LESSEE will receive or approve the supply contract, if any, covering the Equipment purchased from the Vendor and (5) LESSOR has advised LESSEE in writing, either previously or by each Lease, of the following: (a) the identity of the Vendor, (b) that LESSEE may (but does not necessarily) have rights against the Vendor under a supply contract, if any, or under applicable law; and (c) that LESSEE may contact the Vendor for a description of any such rights. 7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY. TO INDUCE LESSOR TO PURCHASE THE EQUIPMENT AND ENTER INTO EACH LEASE, LESSEE AGREES THAT: (A) THE EQUIPMENT IS LEASED "AS IS"; (B) LESSOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE, EXPRESS WARRANTY OR IMPLIED WARRANTY (INCLUDING AN IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT, AND LESSOR HEREBY DISCLAIMS THE SAME; (C) LESSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR INJURY TO LESSEE, THE EQUIPMENT, ANY THIRD PERSON OR OTHER PROPERTY (including without limitation, direct, indirect, consequential, incidental and special damages) CAUSED BY THE USE, OWNERSHIP OR POSSESSION OF THE EQUIPMENT (including without limitation, any damages for infringement of any trademark, copyright or patent); (D) LESSEE WAIVES ANY RIGHTS AND REMEDIES NOW OR HEREAFTER CONFERRED BY LAW WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE GIVE LESSEE THE RIGHT TO: (1) cancel or repudiate the Lease; (2) reject or revoke acceptance of the Equipment; (3) grant a security interest in the Equipment in LESSEE's possession or control for any reason; (4) accept partial delivery of the Equipment; (5) "cover" by making any purchase or lease of or contract to purchase or lease substitution equipment; and (6) seek specific performance against LESSOR. (E) IF THE EQUIPMENT DOES NOT OPERATE AS REPRESENTED BY THE VENDOR, OR IF THE VENDOR OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY FAILS TO PROVIDE ANY SERVICES SUCH AS TRAINING, INSTALLATION OR SERVICE, OF IF THE EQUIPMENT OR THE LEASE IS UNSATISFACTORY FOR ANY OTHER REASON, LESSEE SHALL MAKE ANY SUCH CLAIM SOLELY AGAINST THE VENDOR OR SUCH OTHER THIRD PARTY, AND LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ANY SUCH CLAIM AGAINST LESSOR; AND (F) NO REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY BY THE VENDOR OR OTHER THIRD PARTY IS BINDING ON LESSOR NOR SHALL ANY BREACH THEREOF RELIEVE LESSEE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS TO LESSOR. (G) So long as LESSEE is not in breach under any Lease, LESSOR shall assign without recourse to LESSEE during the term of the Lease any warranty, if any, from the Vendor to LESSOR, to the extent such warranties, if any, are assignable. 8. NO AGENCY. With respect to each Lease, LESSEE acknowledges that (1) neither the Vendor nor any salesman, representative or other third person is an agent, partner or joint venturer of LESSOR; (2) neither the Vendor nor any other third person is authorized to act on LESSOR's behalf; and (3) NO PERSON OTHER THAN AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF LESSOR IS AUTHORIZED TO WAIVE OR ALTER ANY TERM OR CONDITION OF THIS LEASE. 9. REPAIRS; SERVICE; ADDITIONS. With respect to each Lease, LESSEE acknowledges that LESSOR is not responsible for any training or for any repairs or service to the Equipment, and all repairs, service and training shall be the sole responsibility of LESSEE or third parties with whom LESSEE may contract. LESSEE agrees to maintain the Equipment in good condition and to service the Equipment during the term of each Lease as and when needed. All replacement parts, repairs, additions and accessories shall automatically become the property of LESSOR. 10. USE. LESSEE REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT, WITH RESPECT TO EACH LEASE, THE EQUIPMENT WILL BE USED SOLELY FOR BUSINESS, COMMERCIAL OR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES AND NOT FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES. LESSEE shall use the Equipment in a lawful and prudent manner and shall not make any alterations to the Equipment without LESSOR's written consent. LESSEE shall not permit the Equipment to be used by anyone other than LESSEE or its employees. LESSEE shall keep the Equipment at LESSEE's address shown above and shall not remove the Equipment to any other location without LESSOR's written consent. 11. LOSS; DAMAGE; INSURANCE. With respect to each Lease, until the Equipment is returned to LESSOR, LESSEE shall assume the entire risk of loss from any cause. In the event of any loss, LESSEE shall promptly notify LESSOR in writing. LESSEE shall keep the Equipment insured against theft and all risks of loss and shall carry public liability insurance covering both personal injury and property damage. All such insurance shall be in a form and an amount satisfactory to LESSOR. Such insurance for theft, loss and damage shall name LESSOR as the sole Loss Payee, and such public liability insurance shall name LESSEE as Named Insured and LESSOR as Additional Insured. LESSEE shall pay all premiums, be responsible for all deductible portions, and shall deliver to LESSOR evidence of such insurance coverage satisfactory to LESSOR. Each insurer shall agree by endorsement upon all policies that it will give LESSOR 30 days written notice prior to the effective date on which the policy is altered, expired or canceled. IN THE EVENT LESSEE FAILS TO SECURE OR MAINTAIN SUCH INSURANCE, LESSEE MAY, AT ITS OPTION, OBTAIN SUCH INSURANCE AND CHARGE A FEE TO THE LESSEE AS ADDITIONAL RENT, BUT LESSOR SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO DO SO. In addition, because of the increased risk of loss to LESSOR when the Equipment is not insured by LESSEE, LESSEE agrees to pay LESSOR each month a risk charge stipulated and liquidated at 0.25% of LESSOR's original equipment costs until LESSEE provides proof of compliance with insurance requirements under any Lease. In spite of such risk charge, LESSEE shall have no right to any insurance benefits from LESSOR up to the extent of any obligations by LESSEE to LESSOR, LESSEE shall still be liable for all losses, and such risk charge is not in lieu of the insurance requirements of any Lease. LESSEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY EMPOWERS AND APPOINTS LESSOR AS LESSEE'S TRUE AND LAWFUL ATTORNEY-IN-FACT TO MAKE CLAIM FOR AND RECEIVE INSURANCE PROCEEDS, AND TO EXECUTE AND ENDORSE ALL DOCUMENTS, CHECKS OR DRAFTS RECEIVED IN PAYMENT UNDER ANY SAID INSURANCE POLICIES. Any proceeds of insurance payable to LESSOR may be used or applied as LESSOR, in its sole but reasonable discretion, shall determine. 12. TAXES AND OTHER FEES. LESSEE shall pay when due all federal, state and local license fees, registration fees, filing fees, assessments, taxes (including without limitation, sales, lease, use, excise and personal property taxes, EXCLUDING ONLY TAXES PAYABLE IN RESPECT TO LESSOR'S INCOME) and all other charges of any kind which may now or hereafter be imposed upon LESSOR or LESSEE arising in any way out of the ownership, use, possession or leasing of the Equipment. Such amount shall be considered additional rent and shall be payable upon demand by LESSOR. In establishing the amount of the base lease payments and the other terms of each Lease, LESSOR and LESSEE have assumed that LESSOR will be entitled to all deductions, depreciation, credits and other tax benefits ("tax benefits") which are provided by the federal, state and local laws and regulations to an owner and lessor of personal property. Page 2 of 5 65 LESSEE agrees that, should any such tax benefits be disallowed or recaptured, or should LESSOR lose the right to claim or receive such benefits for any reason, LESSEE shall indemnify LESSOR for such loss by paying LESSOR an amount equal to the value of such loss. LESSEE's obligations under this paragraph shall continue notwithstanding any future change in federal, state or local law during the term of each Lease and shall survive the termination of this Master Lease Agreement. To liquidate any personal property tax expense incurred by LESSOR, LESSEE agrees to pay LESSOR either a net charge therefore as incurred by LESSOR or, at LESSOR's election, a monthly personal property tax fee liquidated at any fee set by LESSOR up to three-hundred ninety-five thousandths of one percent (0.395%) of the original equipment cost. 13. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. LESSEE shall promptly comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the ownership, use, possession, leasing, delivery or return of the Equipment at LESSEE's own expense. 14. INDEMNITY. LESSEE shall indemnify and hold LESSOR harmless from and against all claims, losses, liabilities (including without limitation, negligence, tort and strict liability), damages, judgments, suits, and all legal proceedings, and any and all costs and expenses in connection therewith (including without limitation, attorney's fees and legal costs) arising out of or in any manner connected with the manufacture, purchase, financing, ownership, leasing, delivery, possession, use or operation of the Equipment, including without limitation, claims for injury to or death of persons and for damage to property. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Master Lease Agreement. 15. TITLE. LESSEE understands that the Equipment is the exclusive property of LESSOR, that title to the Equipment shall at all times during the term remain in LESSOR, and that LESSEE shall have no right, title or interest in the Equipment except as expressly provided in this Master Lease Agreement notwithstanding any trade-in or down-payment. LESSEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY EMPOWERS AND APPOINTS LESSOR AS ITS TRUE AND LAWFUL ATTORNEY-IN-FACT TO PREPARE, EXECUTE AND FILE ALL OWNERSHIP AND FINANCING STATEMENTS, and all costs for such filing and termination shall be billed to and paid by LESSEE. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES THAT EACH SCHEDULE REPRESENTS A TRUE LEASE AND NOT A LEASE INTENDED AS SECURITY FOR PURPOSES OF SECTION 1-201(37) OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE. THE FILING OF ANY FINANCIAL STATEMENT SHALL NOT BE EVIDENCE THAT EACH SCHEDULE IS OTHER THAN A TRUE LEASE, AND SUCH FILING IS ONLY INTENDED TO GIVE PUBLIC NOTICE OF LESSOR'S OWNERSHIP OF THE EQUIPMENT. If any Lease shall be deemed at any time to be a lease intended as security (or anything other than a true lease), LESSEE hereby grants LESSOR a security interest in the Equipment, and such financing statements shall be intended to create a perfected security interest in favor of LESSOR. The Equipment shall at all times be considered and shall remain personal property, and LESSEE shall not permit the same to become a fixture to realty. 16. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The following events shall automatically and without notice to LESSEE be events of default under each Lease: (1) LESSEE fails to pay any lease payment or other charge for a period of 10 consecutive days from the due date; (2) LESSEE fails to perform or observe any other term or condition of each Lease or breaches any representation contained herein or in any other agreement or lease with LESSOR; (3) any action or proceeding is brought against LESSEE whereby the Equipment may be taken or distrained; (4) LESSEE dies, becomes insolvent, makes or consents to an assignment for the benefit of creditors, stops doing business as a going concern, sells all or substantially all of its assets, merges, consolidates, or appoints or consents to the appointment of a receiver or trustee; (5) a petition is filed by or against LESSEE under bankruptcy laws or other laws providing for the relief of debtors; or (6) LESSEE shall cause, incur, assume or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge or other encumbrance, attachment or involuntary transfer of any kind upon or affecting the Equipment or each Lease or any of LESSOR's interest hereunder. 17. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. In the event LESSEE defaults hereunder, with respect to any Lease, LESSOR may exercise any one or more of the following remedies in addition to any other remedies available under law: (A) With or without notice, cancel the Lease and all (or any) other Leases between LESSOR and LESSEE and/or sue for: (1) past due rent under such Lease(s), (2) the accelerated balance of future rent to become due during the unexpired term of such Lease(s), not as a penalty but liquidated for all purposes, (3) the residual value placed on the Equipment by LESSOR (as estimated by LESSOR at the commencement of such Lease(s)), (4) all late charges and other charges due and to become due under such Lease(s), (5) the costs specified in Section 19 below with respect to each such Lease(s), and (6) any other damages and indemnities, if then determinable, arising out of such Lease(s) or LESSEE's breach of such Lease(s); and (B) With respect to each such Lease(s), to the extent permitted by law, empower any attorney of any Court of competent jurisdiction within the United States or elsewhere to appear for LESSEE and, with or without one or more declarations filed, to confess judgment against LESSEE in favor of LESSOR in such Court, for the damages specified in subparagraph "A" above and Section 19 below. LESSEE hereby releases errors and waives rights of appeal, stays of execution, inquisition and benefit of all exemption laws now or hereafter passed. Any rule of Court, custom or practice to the contrary notwithstanding, a true copy of this Master Lease Agreement and Schedule pertaining thereto may be filed in any action to confess judgment in lieu of the original as warrant of attorney; and (C) With respect to each such Lease(s), enter upon LESSEE's premises and repossess the Equipment without liability for trespass or damages. In the event LESSEE fails to consent to repossession, LESSOR may institute legal proceedings for an order of repossession. Any repossession shall be without right of redemption. Following repossession: (1) all rights of LESSEE in the Equipment shall terminate; (2) LESSOR may, at its option, sell or re-lease ("remarket") the Equipment without advance notice to LESSEE; and (3) LESSOR may nevertheless immediately sue for the full amounts specified in subparagraph "A" above without first remarketing the Equipment, in which event any monies later recovered by LESSOR through remarketing, if any, minus LESSOR's costs of repossession and remarketing (including but limited to any commissions), shall operate in reduction of the amount of LESSOR's claim. Nothing stated herein shall require LESSOR to repossess the Equipment, and LESSEE hereby waives any rights which may require LESSOR to repossess and/or remarket the Equipment in mitigation of damages. 18. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. All remedies of LESSOR hereunder are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or separately at different times, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed an election of such remedy or preclude the exercise of any other remedy. No failure on the part of LESSOR to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or be deemed a modification of this Master Lease Agreement. A waiver of default shall not be a waiver of any subsequent default. 19. LESSOR'S COSTS. LESSEE shall be liable for all costs and overhead incurred by LESSOR in enforcing each Lease, including without limitation: (1) attorney's fees liquidated at 25% of any claim for money damages, which LESSEE hereby stipulates is a reasonable prediction of actual fees and not a penalty; (2) reasonable attorney's fees incurred in pursuing any equitable remedy; (3) costs of suit; (4) LESSOR's internal recovery overhead liquidated at the lesser of $500.00 or 5% of the lease balance, which LESSEE hereby stipulates is a reasonable prediction of actual overhead and not a penalty; and (5) LESSOR's internal repossession and remarketing overhead liquidated at the lesser of $450.00 or 4% of the original equipment cost, which LESSEE hereby stipulates is a reasonable prediction of actual overhead and not a penalty, plus all costs incurred in the repossession, storage, shipment, repair and remarketing of the Equipment. 20. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT. Upon the expiration of each lease term, or upon request of LESSOR following any default, LESSEE shall, at its own expense, return the Equipment to LESSOR at an address specified by LESSOR. The Equipment shall be returned in the same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear excepted. 21. ASSIGNMENT; SUBLEASE. All or any part of LESSOR's interest in each (or any) Lease or in the Equipment may be assigned by LESSOR at any time without prior notice to LESSEE. In that event, LESSOR's assignee shall succeed to all of LESSOR's rights and interests under the Lease, and LESSEE's obligations to the assignee shall be as provided in the Lease, but the assignee shall not be liable to perform any of LESSOR's Page 3 of 5 66 obligations, if any, to LESSEE. All such obligations, if any, shall remain in LESSOR. The right of the assignee to the payment of assigned lease payments and to performance of LESSEE's obligations and to exercise any other of LESSOR's rights hereunder, shall not be subject to any defense, counterclaim or set-off. LESSEE hereby acknowledges that any assignment by LESSOR shall not materially change LESSEE's duties or obligations under the Lease or materially increase the risks imposed on LESSEE. BECAUSE EACH LEASE WAS GRANTED BY LESSOR ON THE STRENGTH OF LESSEE'S CREDIT, LESSEE MAY NOT ASSIGN OR DISPOSE OF ANY OF ITS INTERESTS UNDER THE LEASE TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTER INTO ANY SUBLEASE OF ALL OR PART OF THE EQUIPMENT WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR, WHICH SHALL NOT BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD. 22. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Master Lease Agreement is in conflict with any law of any state or place where it is sought to be enforced, such provision shall be deleted to the extent of such conflict, but without invalidating the remaining provisions. 23. CHOICE OF LAW; JURISDICTION; FORUM; VENUE. LESSEE agrees and stipulates that (1) THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT AND EACH LEASE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY (in which LESSOR maintains a business office), including all matters of construction, validity and performance; (2) LESSEE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY AND CONSENTS TO BE SUBJECT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE STATE AND/OR FEDERAL COURTS IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, AND CONSENTS TO VENUE IN ANY COUNTY/DISTRICT OF LESSOR'S ELECTION IN WHICH LESSOR MAINTAINS AN OFFICE; (3) LESSEE AGREES THAT ANY PROCESS SERVED FOR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE VALID IF MAILED BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, WITH DELIVERY RESTRICTED TO EITHER THE ADDRESSEE OR ITS REGISTERED AGENT; and (3) ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER LESSOR OR LESSEE BRINGS SUCH PROCEEDING, SHALL BE INSTITUTED ONLY IN THE AFORESAID VENUE IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, AND NOT ELSEWHERE, UNLESS LESSOR EXPRESSLY CONSENTS IN WRITING OR ELECTS OTHERWISE. 24. CAPTIONS. The captions in this Master Lease Agreement are intended for convenience only and shall not be construed to alter or vary the text. 25. LESSEE'S REPRESENTATIONS. LESSEE represents and warrants with respect to each Lease that (1) LESSEE has complete and unrestricted power to enter into this Master Lease Agreement and each Schedule, and all necessary and proper corporate action (if LESSEE is a corporation) to enable LESSEE to enter into the Master Lease Agreement and each Schedule has been undertaken and completed; (2) the person(s) executing this Master Lease Agreement and each Schedule on behalf of LESSEE have been duly authorized (by corporate resolution if LESSEE is a corporation) to execute the same on LESSEE's behalf; (3) all information supplied to LESSOR is true and correct, including all credit and financial information submitted to LESSOR at any time; (4) LESSEE is solvent and is able to meet all its financial obligations, including the anticipated Lease payments hereunder; and (5) this Master Lease Agreement and each Schedule constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of LESSEE and is enforceable against the LESSEE in accordance with its terms. LESSEE HEREBY AUTHORIZES LESSOR TO SHARE AND EXCHANGE WITH ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES CREDIT AND OTHER INFORMATION IT HAS OBTAINED ON LESSEE AND ITS BUSINESS. 26. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Master Lease Agreement and each Lease and all documentation executed in connection therewith constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between LESSOR and LESSEE and there is no understanding or agreement, oral or written, which is not set forth herein. This Master Lease Agreement and each Lease and all documentation executed in connection therewith may not be amended except by a writing signed by an executive officer of LESSOR and LESSEE shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and assigns. If there is more than one lessee and/or guarantor or other party obligated to LESSOR under this Master Lease Agreement or any Schedule or otherwise with respect to any lease transaction, all such party's liabilities to LESSOR shall be individual, joint and several. 27.
