assignment shall not preclude Lessor, in its sole discretion, from asserting and
prosecuting such a claim. Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from

by Lessor or any other circumstances therein provided.
6. TITLE AND ASSIGNMENT.
(a) Nothing contained in this Master Lease, or in any Equipment Schedule,
shall give or convey to Lessee any right, title or interest in or to the
Equipment, or any additions, upgrades, accessions, or improvements thereto,
except as a Lessee as set
forth in this Master Lease and such Equipment Schedule, and Lessee represents
and agrees that Lessee [illegible] hold the Equipment subject and subordinate to
the rights of the owner thereof. The Equipment is and at all times shall remain
the property of Lessor (or Lessor's successor in interest), and except as
expressly set forth in this Master Lease or any Equipment Schedule, Lessee shall
have no right, title, equity or interest in the Equipment and no right or option
to purchase or otherwise acquire title to or ownership of the Equipment. Lessee
shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense: (i) defend and protect the ownership
of, title to, and interest in the Equipment of Lessor, Lessor's successors in
interest, and any assignee or secured party, against all parties claiming
against or through Lessee; (ii) keep the Equipment free and clear from any legal
process, liens, claims, demands and encumbrances (except those incurred by
Lessor); and (iii) give Lessor prompt written notice of any legal process,
liens, claims, demands and encumbrances made by any party (except Lessor) with
respect to the Equipment. Lessee shall, and Lessor may on behalf of Lessee, at
Lessee's expense, execute and file such financing statements, applications for
registration and other documentation as Lessor shall require for the purpose of
protecting or perfecting the interest of Lessor, or any assignee, transferee or
secured party, in the Equipment.
(b) Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, affix to the Equipment such labels,
signs or other devices as Lessor may supply to identify Lessor as the owner and
Lessor of the Equipment. Lessee authorizes Lessor to insert in any Equipment
Schedule and in any financing statement or other documents the serial numbers
and other identification data of the Equipment when determined by Lessor. The
Equipment is and at all times shall remain personal property regardless of any
attachment or affixation of the Equipment to any real property or improvements
thereon.
(c) LESSEE SHALL NOT, WITHOUT LESSOR'S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT, (ii) ASSIGN
THIS MASTER LEASE OR ANY EQUIPMENT SCHEDULE OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN OR THEREIN,

EQUIPMENT, OR (iii) TRANSFER, ASSIGN, CONVEY, ENCUMBER, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSE OF ANY EQUIPMENT OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN; AND ANY ATTEMPT BY LESSEE TO
DO ANY OF THE FOREGOING WITHOUT LESSOR'S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT SHALL BE VOID.

designated on the Equipment Schedule, and shall not move the Equipment to any
other location without the Lessor's prior written consent.
(e) This Master Lease and any rights of Lessor hereunder and under any
Equipment Schedule shall be assignable by Lessor without notice to or the
consent of Lessee. Lessee acknowledges and understands that the terms and
conditions of each Equipment Schedule have been fixed by Lessor in anticipation
of Lessor's ability to sell and assign its interest or grant a security interest
under each Equipment Schedule and the Equipment listed therein in whole or in
part to a security assignee (the "Secured Party") for the purpose of either
assigning: (i) Lessee's obligation to pay rent pursuant to such Equipment
Schedule (Lessor having transferred the right to receive such rent to the
Secured Party), or (ii) securing a loan to Lessor. Lessor may also sell and
assign its rights as owner and lessor of the Equipment under any Equipment
Schedule to an assignee (the "Assignee") which may be represented by a bank or a
trust company acting as a trustee (the "Owner Trustee") for the Assignee. After
such assignments the term Lessor shall mean, as the case may be, such Assignee
or Owner Trustee and any Secured Party (collectively "Lessor Transferee").
Lessee acknowledges and agrees that:
(1) Any such Lessor Transferee shall have and be entitled to exercise any and
all discretion, rights and powers of Lessor hereunder or under any
Equipment Schedule, but such Lessor Transferee shall not be obligated to
perform any of Lessor's obligations hereunder or under any Equipment
Schedule; provided, however, that such Lessor Transferee shall not disturb
Lessee's quiet and peaceful possession of the Equipment and use thereof
for its intended purpose during the terms hereof so long as Lessee is not
in default of any provision hereof and such Lessor Transferee continues to
timely receive all amounts of rent payable under such Equipment Schedule;
(2) Lessee will pay all rent and any and all other amounts payable by Lessee
under any Equipment Schedule to such Lessor Transferee, notwithstanding
and Lessee hereby waives any defense or claim of whatever nature, whether
by reason of breach of such Equipment Schedule or otherwise, which Lessee
may or might now or hereafter have as against Lessor or any prior Lessor
Transferee (Lessee reserving its right to have recourse directly against
Lessor on account of any such defense or claim); and
(3) Subject to and without impairment of Lessee's leasehold rights in and to
the Equipment, Lessee holds the Equipment for such Lessor Transferee to
the extent of such Lessor Transferee's rights therein.
7. NET LEASE, TAXES AND FEES.
(a) Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that each Equipment Schedule
constitutes a net lease and that Lessee's obligation to pay all rent and any
and all amounts payable by Lessee under any Equipment Schedule shall be absolute
and unconditional, and shall not be subject to any abatement, reduction, setoff,
defense, counterclaim, interruption, deferment or recoupment for any reason
whatsoever; and that such payments shall be and continue to be payable in all
events.
(b) Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense and in addition to the
rent due under any Equipment Schedule, promptly pay all taxes, assessments,
license fees, permit fees, registration fees, fines, interest, penalties and all
other governmental charges (including without limitation income, gross receipts,
sales, use, excise, personal property, ad valorem, stamp, documentary and other
taxes), whether levied, assessed or imposed on Lessee, Lessor, the Equipment or
otherwise, relating to the Equipment or the delivery, leasing, operations,
ownership, possession, purchase, registration, rental, sales or use thereof
during the term of any Equipment Schedule, or the interest of Lessee in the
Equipment or under any Equipment Schedule, or the rental or other payments
thereunder or earnings arising therefrom (excepting only taxes on Lessor's net
income). Lessee shall file all returns required in connection therewith and
shall promptly furnish copies to Lessor. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for any
such taxes paid by Lessor within ten (10) days of receipt of Lessor's invoice
therefor. Any applicable sales tax will be paid to the manufacturer,
manufacturer's agent, supplier, dealer or appropriate taxing agency by Lessor.
Where applicable, Lessee acknowledges that such tax may have been included in
calculating lease payments.

accessions to any of the Equipment which Lessor may permit or require Lessee to
acquire or which Lessor may, at its option, elect to acquire, with the cost of
any and all such additions, improvements, upgrades, maintenance contracts or
accessions to be treated as additional original equipment cost with respect to
the applicable items of Equipment and which additional cost shall be amortized
as additional rental payments by increasing the monthly rental amount payable
under Section 3 hereof by the amount corresponding to the amount which would be
payable as monthly rent hereunder as if such additional cost constituted a
portion of the original equipment cost of the applicable Equipment for Equipment
to be leased under the applicable Equipment Schedule for a term equal to the
remaining lease term of the applicable Equipment Schedule.

all damages to real property arising from the removal of any of the Equipment,
and in the event any party holding an interest in any real property upon which
any of the Equipment is located shall
demand a security deposit in connection with any such removal, Lessee shall
deliver and provide such deposit; (E) any actual or anticipated loss in tax
benefits to Lessor (as determined by Lessor) resulting from the default or
Lessor's repossession or disposition of the Equipment; and (F) any other amounts
payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Master Lease or any Equipment Schedule or
damages suffered by Lessor not otherwise compensated herein including, without
limitation, damages arising from Lessee's failure to maintain the Equipment as
provided herein. Any sale or lease of the Equipment by Lessor after default
shall be free and clear of any interest of Lessee.
(c) The rights and remedies of Lessor hereunder are in addition to all
other rights and remedies provided by law. All of Lessor's rights and remedies
are cumulative and not exclusive, and may be exercised separately or
concurrently and in such order and manner as Lessor may determine. The exercise
of any one remedy shall not be deemed to be an election of such remedy or to
preclude the exercise of any other remedy. No default by Lessee or action by
Lessor shall result in a termination of this Master Lease or any Equipment
Schedule unless Lessor so notifies Lessee in writing, and no termination of this
Master Lease or any Equipment Schedule shall release or impair any of Lessee's
obligations hereunder or thereunder.
16. PURCHASE OPTION
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Master Lease and Equipment
Schedule, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree, provided no default has occurred and
is continuing under the Master Lease, at the end of the Equipment Schedule term,
Lessor will sell all, but not part of, the Equipment listed on the Equipment
Schedule AS IS, WHERE IS and transfer title to Lessee for the consideration of
One Dollar (1.00) and will execute such documentation as necessary to effect
such transfer of title to the extent title was conveyed to Lessor. Any
instrument of transfer shall contain the following: THE EQUIPMENT TRANSFERRED
HEREBY IS TRANSFERRED "AS IS" AND "WHERE IS". THE SELLER MAKES NO EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER IN REGARD TO SUCH
EQUIPMENT. THE SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES IN REGARD TO SUCH EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE, OR OF
QUALITY, DESIGN, CONDITION, CAPACITY, SUITABILITY OR PERFORMANCE.
17. COSTS AND EXPENSES.

enforcement of this Master Lease, any Equipment Schedule, the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, and any costs and expenses related hereto or
thereto, including without limitation filing fees, registration fees, attorney's
fees and other out-of-pocket expenses.
18. PERFORMANCE BY LESSOR.
If Lessee shall fail to perform any obligation under this Master Lease or
any Equipment Schedule, Lessor shall have the right, but shall not be obligated,
with or without prior notice to Lessee, to perform the same (or, in the case of
Lessee's failure to maintain insurance, Lessor may obtain insurance protecting
the interest of Lessor only), and the costs thereof, together with interest at
the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per year of the highest lawful rate, shall
be immediately payable by Lessee as additional rent for the Equipment.
19. FURTHER ASSURANCES.
Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, execute and deliver such
financial statements, certificates of title and other related documents and take
such action as Lessor or any Lessor Transferee may from time to time request
for the purpose of continuing and assuring the rights intended to be created by
this Lease or any Equipment Schedule, including without limitation, any
redocumentation of errors and omissions of this Master Lease and any Equipment
Schedule required by any Lessor Transferee or other successor to any interest of
Lessor.

THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA FOR THE COUNTY OF
BUCKS; AND (d) THIS SECTION 21 MAY BE ENFORCED BY INJUNCTION, SPECIFIC
PERFORMANCE OR ANY OTHER EXTRAORDINARY OR EQUITABLE REMEDY. LESSOR AND LESSEE
HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE
OR THE CONDUCT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LESSOR AND LESSEE.
22. MISCELLANEOUS.
This Master Lease, any Equipment Schedule, and any other documents
executed herewith or therewith constitute the entire agreement with respect to
the subject matter hereof. No oral agreement, representation or warranty shall
be binding. Any provision of this Master Lease which is invalid or unenforceable
under applicable law shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof, and to
this end the provisions hereof are declared to be severable. Section headings
are for convenience of reference only, and shall not affect the interpretation
hereof. If more than one Lessee is named herein, the liability of each shall be
joint and several. Where appropriate and the context permits, the singular shall
include the plural and vice versa. Upon assignment of this Master Lease or any
Equipment Schedule or Equipment (or any part hereof or thereof or any interest
herein or therein) by Lessor, the term "Lessor" shall include the Assignee.
Lessee waives notice and acceptance of this Master Lease and any Equipment
Schedule by Lessor. Time is of the essence of this Master Lease and any
Equipment Schedule.
23. WAIVER AND AMENDMENT.
No waiver or amendment of this Master Lease or any Equipment Schedule, or
any provision hereof or thereof, shall be effective unless in writing signed by
Lessor. No delay or failure to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to
Lessor upon any default of Lessee shall impair any such right, power or remedy,
nor shall it be construed as a waiver of any such default, or an acquiescence
therein, or in any similar default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of
any single default be deemed a waiver of any other default theretofore or
thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or
character on the part of Lessor must be in writing and shall be effective only
to the extent specifically set forth therein.
