Master Lease Agreement
Lease No.: 03737
 
THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT ("Lease") is made this 26th day of
July, 2005, by
and between PNC LEASING, LLC ("Lessor"), a subsidiary of PNC Bank,
National
Association (the "Bank"), with an address at 1000 Westlakes Dr.,
Suite 200,
Berwyn, PA 19312, and MEDIA SCIENCES, INC. ("Lessee") with its
principal place
of business at 8 Allerman Rd., Oakland, NJ 07436.
 
1. LEASE AGREEMENT. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee
hereby rents from
Lessor, all the machinery, equipment and other personal property
(individually
an "Item of Equipment" and collectively the "Equipment") described
in Schedules
of Leased Equipment which may be executed by Lessor and Lessee and
attached
hereto or incorporated herein by reference ("Schedules").
"Equipment" shall mean
the Equipment described in a specific Schedule, unless the context
clearly
indicates otherwise. The disposition of any rights or obligations
of either
party under this Lease in conjunction with any Schedule shall not
affect the
rights and/or obligations with either party under any other
Schedule, so long as
Lessee is not in default under this Lease or any Schedule. In the
event of any
such default by Lessee, Lessor may declare this Lease and any
Schedule to be in
default hereunder and Lessor may proceed with its remedies against
Lessee in
accordance with paragraph 24 herein, with respect to any particular
Schedule or
all Schedules. The terms of this Lease are also modified by any one
or more
Supplements which are attached to and which make reference to this
Lease (a
"Supplement"). A Supplement contains terms and conditions
applicable to the type
of equipment leasing product described therein. An executed
counterpart of this
Lease (including any Schedules, Supplements, amendments, addenda or
riders
thereto) or a photocopy thereof, together with an executed original
of any
numbered Schedule (marked "Lessor", if more than one counterpart of
such
Schedule is executed), shall be the original "lease" for the
Equipment described
in such Schedule and together they shall constitute a separate and
enforceable
lease. All other executed counterparts (if any) shall be marked and
considered a
"Duplicate". Facsimiles will be considered "originals" upon receipt
and
countersignature by Lessor for all evidentiary purposes including
any
requirement of a "writing" under applicable Statute of Frauds
provisions. To the
extent this Lease constitutes chattel paper, as that term is
defined in the
Uniform Commercial Code as adopted and in effect in the
Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania ("UCC"), no security interest in the Lease may be
created through
the transfer of possession of any counterpart other than Lessor's
counterpart of
the numbered Schedule.
 
2. TERM. The obligations under this Lease begin with Lessor's
written acceptance
and shall end upon full performance and observance of all terms,
conditions and
covenants of the Lease and any extensions. The rental term for
Equipment begins
on the date indicated on the related Schedule and shall end on the
last day of
the term stated in such Schedule. Lessee may not terminate the
Lease or any
Schedule prior to the last day of the term. Any interim rental term
shall be set
forth in any such Schedule.
 
3. RENT. The rent, including interim rental payments, for the
Equipment shall be
the amount stated in the applicable Schedule (the "Rent"). Rent is
an absolute
obligation of Lessee due as specified in each applicable Schedule
irrespective
of any claims, demands, set-offs, actions, suits or proceedings
that Lessee may
have or assert against Lessor or any vendor of Equipment. Rent
shall be payable
to Lessor at P.O. Box 17644 Newark, NJ 07194-7644, or at such other
place as
Lessor or its assigns may designate in writing to Lessee.
 
4. DELINQUENT RENT PENALTY. If any Rent or other amount due is not
paid when
due, Lessee agrees to pay a delinquent rent penalty of five percent
(5%) on the
amount of such Rent or other amount due, but not exceeding the
lawful maximum,
if any. Delinquent interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate
publicly
announced by the Bank from time to time as its prime rate shall be
payable on
demand with respect to all such delinquent amounts. Interest shall
accrue
whether or not judgment has been entered.
 
5. ADVANCES . Before the beginning date of the base lease term,
Lessor may in
its sole discretion make such advances, deposits and reimbursements
as may be
required for purchase of the Equipment. Before Lessor makes any
advance, Lessee
agrees to sign and deliver a Progress Payment Addendum and any
other documents
Lessor may reasonably request, such as certified resolutions,
incumbency
certificates or other evidence of authority and opinions of counsel
in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.
 
6. DELIVERY AND INSTALLATION. Lessee will select the Equipment and
the supplier,
and in reliance thereon, Lessor will order the Equipment, or Lessor
may, at its
option, accept from Lessee an assignment of any existing purchase
order. Lessor
shall not be liable for loss or damage for any reason, such as
failure of or
delay in delivery, delivery to wrong location, delivery of improper
equipment or
property other than the Equipment, defects in or damage to the
Equipment,
governmental regulations, strikes, embargoes or other causes,
circumstances or
events. If the cost of any Item of Equipment differs from the price
set forth in
the purchase order, the periodic rental shall be changed to fully
reflect any
such difference.
 
7. WARRANTY OF LESSEE'S QUIET POSSESSION. Lessor covenants, subject
to the
disclaimer of warranties set forth immediately below, that so long
as Lessee
faithfully performs this Lease, Lessee may quietly possess and use
the Equipment
without interference by Lessor, or by any party claiming by or
through Lessor.
 
8. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES . LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT
(i) THE
EQUIPMENT AND EACH PART THEREOF IS OF A SIZE, DESIGN, CAPACITY, AND
MANUFACTURE
SELECTED BY AND ACCEPTABLE TO LESSEE, (ii) LESSEE IS SATISFIED THAT
THE
EQUIPMENT AND EACH PART THEREOF IS SUITABLE FOR ITS RESPECTIVE
PURPOSE, (iii)
LESSOR IS NOT A MERCHANT, MANUFACTURER OR A DEALER IN PROPERTY OF
SUCH KIND,
(iv) THE EQUIPMENT AND EACH PART THEREOF IS LEASED HEREUNDER
SUBJECT TO ALL
APPLICABLE LAWS AND GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS NOW IN EFFECT OR
HEREAFTER ADOPTED
AND IN THE STATE AND CONDITION WHEN THE SAME FIRST BECAME SUBJECT
TO THIS LEASE,
WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND BY LESSOR, AND (v)
LESSOR LEASES
THE EQUIPMENT, AS IS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION EITHER
EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, AS TO (A) THE CONDITION, FITNESS, DESIGN, QUALITY,
CAPACITY,
WORKMANSHIP, OPERATION, AND MERCHANTABILITY OF THE EQUIPMENT, (B)
LESSOR'S TITLE
THERETO, OR (C) ANY OTHER MATTER WHATSOEVER, IT BEING AGREED THAT
ALL SUCH
RISKS, AS BETWEEN LESSOR AND LESSEE, ARE TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE, AND
THE BENEFITS
OF ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS OF LESSOR ARE
HEREBY
WAIVED BY LESSEE. Lessor is not responsible or liable for any
direct, indirect,
incidental, or consequential damage to, or loss resulting from, the
installation, operation, or use of the Equipment or any product
manufactured
thereby. Lessee's recourse for breach of any representation or
warranty of the
vendor or supplier is limited to such vendor or supplier. Lessee
will be
subrogated to Lessor's claims, if any, against the manufacturer or
supplier of
the Equipment for breach of any warranty or representation and,
upon written
request from Lessee, Lessor shall take all reasonable action
requested by Lessee
to enforce any such warranty, express or implied, applicable to any
of the
Equipment, which is enforceable by Lessor in its own name,
provided, however,
that (a) Lessee is not in default and (b) Lessor shall not be
obligated to
resort to litigation n to enforce any such warranty unless Lessee
shall pay all
expenses in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lessee's
obligations to pay the rentals or otherwise under this Lease shall
be and are
absolute and unconditional. All proceeds of any such warranty
recovery from the
manufacturer or supplier of the Equipment shall first be used to
repair the
affected Equipment.
 
9. NATURE OF EQUIPMENT. The Equipment shall remain personal
property even if it
is affixed to any real property. Lessee shall obtain and cause to
be recorded,
where appropriate, at its own expense, from each landlord, owner,
mortgagee or
any person or entity having an encumbrance or lien upon the real
property where
any of the Equipment is located, a waiver of any lien, encumbrance
or interest
which such third party might have or hereafter obtain or claim with
respect to
the Equipment. Lessee, at its expense, will protect and defend
Lessor's title to
the Equipment and will do everything required to keep the Equipment
free and
clear of all claims, levies, liens and encumbrances. Lessor assumes
no liability
and makes no representation as to the treatment by Lessee of this
Lease, the
Equipment, or the rental payments for financial accounting or tax
purposes.
 
10. LESSOR'S RIGHT OF INSPECTION. Lessor, or its authorized agents,
shall have
the right during normal business hours to enter upon the premises
where the
Equipment is located for the purpose of inspection. Provided no
Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, Lessor shall provide Lessee prior
notice of such
inspection.
 
11. USE OF EQUIPMENT. Lessee represents that it is leasing the
Equipment for a
business or commercial purpose and not for personal, family or
household use.
Lessee must use the Equipment in a careful and proper manner in
conformity with
(i) all statutes and regulations of each governmental authority
having
jurisdiction over Lessee and/or the Equipment and its use, and (ii)
all policies
of insurance relating to the Equipment and/or its use. In addition,
Lessee shall
not (i) use the Equipment in any manner that would impair the
applicability of
manufacturer's warranties or render the Equipment unfit for its
originally
intended use; (ii) permit anyone other than authorized and
competent personnel
to operate the Equipment; nor (iii) terminate the use of the
Equipment prior to
the last day of the term indicated in the applicable Schedule.
 
12. ALTERATIONS. Without Lessor's prior written consent, Lessee
shall make no
alterations, modifications or attachments to the Equipment which
impair its
economic value, economic and useful life, or functional utility.
All
alterations, modifications and attachments made to the Equipment
must be removed
without damaging the functional capabilities or economic value of
the Equipment
upon the termination of the Lease. If not so removed, they shall
automatically
become Lessor's property. Under no circumstances shall any such
alteration,
modification or attachment be subject to third party financing or
encumbered by
Lessee or result in the creation of a mechanic's or materialman's
lien, except
as may arise by operation of law pending payment within ordinary
business terms.
 
13. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. At its expense Lessee shall maintain,
operate,
repair and make all modifications to the Equipment in accordance
with good
industry practice, manufacturer's warranty requirements and
specifications and
Lessee's established operation, maintenance and repair programs,
without
discrimination as to leased equipment, so as to keep the Equipment
in good
working order, and so as to comply with all applicable laws,
regulations or
governmental actions and so as not to incur liability (whether or
not there is a
lack of compliance) under any environmental law or otherwise
account for any
release of, or exposure to, any hazardous material. Lessor shall
not be required
to maintain, repair or replace the Equipment or part thereto and
Lessee hereby
waives the right, however arising, to (i) require Lessor to
maintain, repair or
replace any of the Equipment or part thereto, or (ii) make repairs
at Lessor's
expense pursuant to any applicable law. Lessor may review Lessee's
established
operating procedures and maintenance records to assure compliance
with this
section. Upon installation, title to replacement parts shall pass
to Lessor, and
be deemed part of the Equipment.
 
14. RISK OF LOSS, DAMAGE AND THEFT.
         
(a) Lessee will bear all risk of loss, damage, theft or
destruction,
partial or complete, to the Equipment from and after delivery of
the Equipment
to a carrier FOB point of origin, whether the terms of shipment
require or
authorize the Equipment to be shipped by carrier, to be delivered
to Lessee's
place or places of business, or provide that Lessee accept
possession of or
title t o the Equipment at any other location. Lessee shall
promptly notify
Lessor of any theft of or loss or damage to the Equipment.
         
(b) Neither total nor partial loss of use or possession of the
         
Equipment shall abate the rent. (c) The Equipment shall be deemed
         
subjected to total loss (i) if it has disappeared regardless of the
reason for disappearance or (ii) if it has sustained physical
damage and the
estimated cost of repair exceeds 75% of its fair market value on
the date of
damage. Lessee's duty to pay Rent for the Equipment subjected to
total loss
shall be discharged by paying to Lessor, on demand, all accrued but
unpaid Rent
for such Equipment as of the date of disappearance or damage, plus
the greater
of: (i) Lessor's book value of the Equipment, which shall be deemed
to be the
Equipment's cost as set forth in the applicable Schedule minus
straight-line
depreciation based on recognized physical life prorated to the date
of
disappearance or damage, or (ii) the fair market value of the
Equipment as of
the date of disappearance or damage. The amount of applicable
insurance
proceeds, if any, actually received by Lessor shall be subtracted
from the
amount for which Lessee is liable under this paragraph 14.
         
(d) Lessee shall cause the Equipment subjected to partial loss to
be
restored to original capability. Lessor shall, upon receiving
satisfactory
evidence of restoration, promptly pay to Lessee the proceeds of any
insurance or
compensation received by Lessor, by reason of such partial loss.
         
(e) Lessor shall not be obligated to undertake the collection of
any
claim against any person for either total or partial loss of the
Equipment.
After Lessee discharges its obligations to Lessor under either
paragraph 14(c)
or 14(d) above, Lessee may, for Lessee's own account, proceed to
recover from
third parties and shall be entitled to retain any amount recovered.
Lessor shall
supply Lessee with any necessary assignment of claim.
 
15. INDEMNIFICATION.
         
(a) Non-Tax Liability. Lessee agrees to indemnify each of Lessor,
its
directors, officers and employees and each legal entity, if any,
who controls
Lessor (the "Indemnified Parties") and to hold each Indemnified
Party harmless
from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities
and expenses
(including all fees and charges of internal or external counsel
with whom any
Indemnified Party may consult and all expenses of litigation or
preparation
therefor) which any Indemnified Party may incur or which may be
asserted against
any Indemnified Party in connection with or arising out of the
matters referred
to in the Lease or any related document by any person, entity or
governmental
authority (including any person or entity claiming derivatively on
behalf of
Lessee), whether (a) arising from or incurred in connection with
any breach of a
representation, warranty or covenant by Lessee, (b) the
manufacture,
installation, use, condition (including, but not limited to, latent
and other
defects and whether or not discoverable by Lessee or Lessor),
operation,
ownership, selection, delivery, leasing, removal or return of the
Equipment,
regardless of where, how and by whom operated, or (c) arising out
of or
resulting from any suit, action, claim, proceeding or governmental
investigation, pending or threatened, whether based on statute,
regulation or
order, or tort, or contract or otherwise, before any court or
governmental
authority, which arises out of or relates to the Lease or any
related document;
provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not
apply to
claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses solely
attributable to an
Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
indemnity
agreement contained in this Section shall survive the termination
of this Lease,
payment of any amounts due and assignment of any rights hereunder.
Lessee may
participate at its expense in the defense of any such action or
claim.
         
(b) Direct Tax Costs. Lessee agrees to indemnify, protect, and hold
harmless each Indemnified Party, from and against any and all
taxes, license
fees, assessments and other governmental charges, fees, fines or
penalties of
whatsoever kind or character and by whomsoever payable, which are
levied,
assessed, imposed or incurred during the lease term, (i) on or
relating to the
Equipment, including any tax on the sale, ownership, use, leasing,
shipment,
transportation, delivery or operation thereof, (ii) on the exercise
of any
option, election or performance of any obligation by Lessee
hereunder, (iii) of
the kind generally referred to in items (i) and (ii) above which
may remain
unpaid as of the date of delivery of the Equipment to Lessee
irrespective of
when the same may have been levied, assessed, imposed or incurred,
and (iv) by
reason of all gross receipts and like taxes on or measured by Rents
payable
hereunder levied by any state or local taxing authority having
jurisdiction
where the Equipment is located. Lessee agrees to comply with all
state and local
laws requiring the filing of ad valorem tax returns relating to the
Equipment.
Any statements for taxes received by Lessor shall be promptly
forwarded to
Lessee. This subparagraph shall not be deemed to obligate Lessee to
pay (i) any
taxes, fees, assessments and charges which may have been included
in Lessor's
cost of the Equipment as set forth in Schedule(s) hereto, or (ii)
any income or
like taxes against Lessor on or measured by the net income from the
Rents
payable hereunder. Lessee shall not be obligated to pay any amount
under this
subparagraph so long as it shall, at its expense and in good faith
and by
appropriate proceedings, contest the validity or the amount thereof
unless such
contest would adversely affect the title of Lessor to the Equipment
or would
subject the Equipment to forfeiture or sale. Lessee agrees to
indemnify each
Indemnified Party against any loss, claim, demand and expense
including legal
expense resulting from such nonpayment or contest.
         
(c) Indemnity Payment. The amount payable pursuant to subparagraphs
15(a) and 15(b) shall be payable upon demand of Lessor accompanied
by a
statement describing in reasonable detail such loss, liability,
injury, claim,
expense or tax and setting forth the computation of the amount so
payable.
         
(d) Survival. The indemnities and assumptions of liabilities and
obligations of this paragraph 15 shall continue in full force and
effect
notwithstanding the expiration or other termination of this Lease.
 
16. LESSEE'S ASSIGNMENT. Without Lessor's prior written consent,
Lessee shall
not assign, bail, sublease, hypothecate, transfer or dispose of the
Equipment or
any interest in this Lease nor impair Lessor's title to the
Equipment. No
assignment, whether or not with Lessor's consent, shall release
Lessee or any
guarantor from any of its respective obligations or otherwise
materially
adversely affect any rights or remedies of Lessor under the Lease.
Any attempted
assignment without Lessor's written consent shall be void and of no
effect.
Lessee shall not assign this Lease, nor shall this Lease or any
rights under
this Lease or in the Equipment inure to the benefit of any trustee
in
bankruptcy, receiver, creditor, or other successor of Lessee
whether by
operation of law or otherwise.
 
17. LESSOR'S ASSIGNMENT. All rights of Lessor hereunder in the
Rents and in the
Equipment may be assigned, pledged, mortgaged, transferred, or
otherwise
disposed of, either in whole or in part, without notice to Lessee.
No such
assignee shall be obligated to perform any duty, covenant, or
condition required
to be performed by Lessor under the terms of this Lease unless such
assignee
expressly assumes such obligations. Lessor shall remain liable to
Lessee
hereunder to perform such duty, covenant, and condition unless such
assignee
expressly assumes Lessor's obligations, in which event Lessee
hereby releases
Lessor from such obligations. Such assignee shall have all rights,
powers and
remedies given to Lessor by this Lease, and shall be named as
lender loss payee
or co-insured under all policies of insurance maintained pursuant
to paragraph
18 hereof. If Lessor assigns this Lease or the monies due or to
become due
hereunder or any other interest herein, Lessee agrees not to assert
against
Lessor's assignee any defense, set-off, recoupment, claim or
counterclaim which
Lessee may have against Lessor, whether arising under this Lease or
any other
transaction between Lessor and Lessee. Subject to paragraph 16
hereof and this
paragraph 17, this Lease inures to the benefit of, and is binding
upon the
heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the
parties hereto.
 
18. INSURANCE. Lessee will at its own expense insure the Equipment
in compliance
with the terms and conditions of the Schedule, in form, in an
amount and subject
to deductibles, satisfactory to Lessor with insurance carriers
approved by
Lessor. The proceeds of any insurance claim due to the theft or
loss of or
damage to the Equipment shall be applied as provided in paragraph
14 hereof. In
addition to the compliance with the terms and conditions of the
Schedule and the
other terms and conditions of this paragraph 18, Lessee shall
comply with the
following conditions:
         
(a) Lessee, prior to the inception of the term, shall deliver to
Lessor
all required policies of insurance or other proper binding evidence
of
insurance, which shall be sufficiently detailed to advise Lessor of
all types of
coverage and inclusions;
         
(b) Lessee shall cause each insurer to agree by endorsement to the
policies that each insurer will give at minimum thirty (30) days'
written notice
to Lessor before any policy will be altered or cancelled for any
reason,
including Lessee's failure to pay premiums;
         
(c) All coverage must be in effect upon delivery, or when Lessee
assumes the risk of loss, whichever is earlier, and will provide
coverage
without geographic limitation;
         
(d) All policies must provide that Lessor is an additional insured
for
all aspects of general liability insurance, and is lender loss
payee for all
aspects of insurance relating to the theft or loss of or damage to
the
Equipment;
         
(e) Lessee will furnish renewal policies or renewal evidence of
insurance listing Lessor as an additional insured and lender loss
payee, as
required by this Lease, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration
of any insurance required hereby;
         
(f) Lessee appoints Lessor its attorney-in-fact to apply any
insurance
proceeds received with respect to the Equipment.
 
19. FURTHER ASSURANCES . Lessee agrees that if the location of any
Equipment
changes from the location listed on the applicable Schedule, or if
Lessee
changes its name or form or jurisdiction of organization (or if a
natural person
or general partnership, changes his, her or its principal
residence), or
establishes a name in which it may do business, Lessee will
immediately notify
Lessor of the additions or changes. If Lessor shall so request,
Lessee shall
execute and deliver to Lessor such documents, including UCC
financing, amendment
and continuation statements, as Lessor shall deem necessary or
desirable for
purposes of continuing this Lease or recording or filing to protect
the interest
of Lessor in the Equipment. By its signature hereon, Lessee hereby
authorizes
Lessor to execute and file against Lessee any such UCC financing,
amendment and
continuation statements. Any such filing or recording shall not be
deemed
evidence of any intent to create a security interest. All filing
fees and
expenses shall be borne by Lessee.
 
20. FURNISHING FINANCIAL INFORMATION. During the term of this Lease
and any
extensions or renewals hereof, Les see will furnish to Lessor:
         
(a) Within 45 days after the end of each of the first three
quarterly
periods of Lessee's fiscal year, a balance sheet, statement of cash
flows and a
statement of income of Lessee ("Financial Statements") as of the
close of such
quarterly period from the beginning of the fiscal year to the date
of such
statement, prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles,
consistently applied, and in such reasonable detail as Lessor may
request,
certified as true, complete and correct by an authorized officer of
Lessee.
         
(b) As soon as practicable, but in any event within 120 days after
the
end of each fiscal year, a copy of Lessee's annual audited
Financial Statements,
certified without qualification by an independent certified public
accountant of
recognized standing.
         
(c) In a timely manner such financial statements, reports and other
information as Lessee shall send from time to time to its
stockholders and/or
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or other
materials which
Lessor shall reasonably request.
 
21. INCORPORATION OF COVENANTS BY REFERENCE. Any and all
affirmative, negative
and financial covenants which may be set forth in any credit
agreement, loan
agreement, promissory note, guaranty or other agreement, instrument
or document
entered into between Lessee (or any of its affiliates) as borrower
and any
affiliate of Lessor, as lender (whether directly as a lender to
Lessee or as one
lender in a bank syndicate agreeing to lend to Lessee, or as holder
of a
participation in a loan by another lender to Lessee) (the "Loan
Documents"), are
hereby incorporated herein by this reference as if set forth herein
at length,
as any of the foregoing may be amended or supplemented from time to
time (the
"Incorporated Provisions"). Any amendments, modifications, waivers
or other
changes in the terms of any of the Incorporated Provisions shall
automatically
constitute an amendment to this Lease without any need for further
action or
documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such changes to
any
Incorporated Provision which operate to waive or prevent the
occurrence of a
default or Event of Default under any Loan Document shall not be
effective
unless consented to in writing by Lessor in its sole discretion.
 
22. PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS OF LESSEE BY LESSOR. If Lessee fails
to promptly
perform any of its obligations under this Lease, Lessor may perform
the same for
the account of Lessee without waiving Lessee's failure as a default
. All sums
paid or expense or liability incurred by Lessor in such performance
(including
reasonable legal fees) together with interest thereon at the
highest contract
rate enforceable against Lessee, but never at a higher rate than
fifteen percent
(15%) per annum simple interest, shall be payable by Lessee upon
demand as
additional rent.
 
23. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Any of the following events or conditions
shall
constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") hereunder and
entitle
Lessor, at its option, to avail itself of the remedies more fully
set forth in
paragraph 24 hereof:
         
(a) Non-payment by Lessee of any Rent or other amount provided for
in
this Lease which continues for a period of ten (10) days following
the date when
due;
         
(b) Lessee shall (i) fail to perform any covenant or requirement
relating to insurance or environmental matters, (ii) fail to keep
the Equipment
free and clear of any claims, levies, liens and encumbrances; (iii)
fail to
prevent the Equipment from being subjected to a foreclosure or
forfeiture
proceeding, execution or attachment; or (iv) terminate the Lease or
any Schedule
prior to the last day of the term;
         
(c) Death or judicial declaration of incompetency of Lessee, if an
individual, or death or judicial declaration of incompetency of an
individual

company;
         
(d) The filing by or against Lessee of any proceeding in
bankruptcy,
receivership, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation,
conservatorship, or
similar proceeding (and in the case of any such proceeding
instituted against
Lessee, such proceeding is not dismissed or stayed within 30 days
of the
commencement thereof, provided that Lessor shall not be obligated
to advance
additional funds during such period);
         
(e) Lessee shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
or
any levy, garnishment, attachment or similar proceeding is
instituted against
any property of Lessee held by or deposited with Lessor;
         
(f) A final judgment for the payment of money in excess of $75,000
is
rendered against Lessee, or any attachment proceedings are
instituted with
respect to any significant portion of Lessee's assets or property,
and the same
shall remain undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days during
which
execution shall not be effectively stayed;
         
(g) Lessee, or any affiliate of Lessee, shall default in the
payment of
principal and/or interest when due (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) or
shall default in the performance of any obligation or indebtedness
owed to the

(j) Any certificate, statement, representation, warranty or

Schedule, there

disclosed by
any such certificate, statement, representation or warranty, which
shall not
have been disclosed in writing to Lessor at or prior to the time of
execution of
this document or such Schedule;
         
(k) An event of default shall have occurred under any other lease
agreement wherein Lessor is , at the time of such default, the
"lessor" and
Lessee is the "lessee";
         
(l) Lessee shall fail to perform any non-monetary covenant,
obligation,
term or condition of this Lease not described in this Paragraph 23
which failure
continues for a period of thirty (30) days following the earlier of
the date
when Lessee becomes aware of such failure or the date of written
notice thereof
to Lessee by Lessor.
 
24. REMEDIES . Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
hereunder, the rights
and duties of the parties shall be as set forth in this paragraph.
Lessor may
elect, in its sole discretion, to do one or more of the following
upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter:
         
(a) Upon written notice to Lessee, Lessor may terminate this Lease
as
to any or all of the Schedules then in effect;
         
(b) Lessor may demand that Lessee return the Equipment to Lessor
whereupon Lessee shall promptly deliver the Equipment to Lessor to
the place or
places designated by Lessor. If Lessee does not so deliver the
Equipment, Lessee
shall make the Equipment available for retaking and authorizes
Lessor, its
employees and agents to enter Lessee's premises and any other
premises (insofar
as Lessee can permit) for the purpose of retaking. In the event of
retaking,
Lessee expressly waives all rights to possession and all claims for
injuries to
persons or property suffered through or loss caused by retaking.
Any
repossession accomplished under this paragraph 24(b) shall not
release Lessee
from liability for damages of Lessor sustained by reason of
Lessee's default
hereunder.
         
(c) Lessor may revoke Lessee's privilege of paying Rent in
installments
causing acceleration of all remaining Rents through the remaining
term of the
Lease, and, upon Lessor's demand, as liquidated damages, and not as
a penalty,
Lessee shall promptly pay to Lessor the aggregate of (i) all Rent
accrued and
unpaid prior to the date of such Event of Default, (ii) all future
Rent due
through the end of the basic term or through the end of the current
renewal
term, as the case may be, (iii) all costs and expenses incurred by
Lessor in the
repossession, recovery, storage, repair, inspection, appraisal,
refurbishing,
sale, release or other disposition of the Equipment,
(iv) reasonable attorney's fees and costs, including any fees or
costs incurred
by Lessor in defending any action relating to this Lease or
participating in any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding to which Lessee is a party, or
otherwise
incurred due to Lessee's default, (v) the estimated residual value
of the
Equipment as of the end of the current term of the Lease, and (vi)
any claim for
indemnity, if any, in favor of Lessor hereunder. In the event that
any court
having jurisdiction shall determine that in calculating damages
hereunder as a
result of a default by Lessee that sums payable in the future under
the Lease
must be discounted to present value, the discount rate to be
applied in such
case shall equal the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Cleveland then
in effect on the earlier of the date of entry of judgment on such
claim or the
date of payment of such sum by Lessee.
         
(d) In its sole discretion, Lessor may sell or release the
Equipment or
any part thereof, at public auction or by private sale or lease at
such time or
times and upon such terms as Lessor may determine, free and clear
of any rights
of Lessee and, if notice thereof is required by law, any notice in
writing of
such sale or lease by Lessor to Lessee given not less than ten (10)
days prior
to the date thereof shall constitute reasonable notice thereof to
Lessee. All
proceeds of the sale or releasing, or both, less (i) all expenses
incurred in
retaking the Equipment, making necessary repairs to the Equipment
and enforcing
this Lease, (ii) all damages that Lessor shall have sustained by
reason of
Lessee's default, and (iii) reasonable attorney's fees and expenses
shall be
credited against Lessee's liability hereunder as and when received
by Lessor.
Sums in excess of Lessee's liability shall belong to Lessor. Lessee
shall be
liable for any deficiency.
         
(e) If an Event of Default described in Paragraph 23(d) occurs, or
if
this Lease is rejected in any bankruptcy or other proceeding
described in that
paragraph, then this Lease and Lessor's obligation to advance any
additional
funds shall terminate automatically without the need for any
written notice from
Lessor, and Lessor at its option may treat such automatic
termination as an
exercise of any early termination, purchase option or early buyout
option set
forth in any applicable Supplement or Schedule.
         
(f) The provisions of this paragraph 24 shall not prejudice
Lessor's
right to recover or prove damages for unpaid Rent accrued prior to
default, or
bar an action for a deficiency as herein provided, and the bringing
of an action
with an entry of judgment against Lessee shall not bar Lessor's
right to
repossess any or all of the Equipment.
         
(g) Lessor's remedies shall be available to Lessor's successors and
assigns, shall be in addition to all other remedies provided to it
under the UCC
(specifically, the remedies set forth in 13 Pa. C.S. ss.ss.
2A523(a), (b) and
(c)), or by any other applicable law, and may be exercised
concurrently or
consecutively . LESSEE WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO NOTICE AND TO
JUDICIAL HEA
RING WITH RESPECT TO THE REPOSSESSION OF THE EQUIPMENT BY LESSOR IN
THE EVENT OF
A DEFAULT HEREUNDER BY LESSEE.

existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization with
full power and authority to conduct its business as such business
is presently
being conducted, to own or hold property under lease and to enter
into and
perform its obligations under this Lease. Lessee is duly qualified

business and is in good standing as a foreign entity in all states
where its
failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its
ability to

(b) Lessee has full power and authority to enter into the
transactions
provided for in this Lease and has been duly authorized to do so by

this Lease will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations
of Lessee,
enforceable in accordance with its terms.
         
(c) The execution, delivery, and performance by Lessee of this
Lease
and all related instruments and the consummation by Lessee of the
transactions
contemplated hereby: (i) do not require any stockholder approval or
the consent
of any trustee or holder of any indebtedness or obligation of
Lessee or any
consent, authorization, or approval of, any filing of or
registration with, or
other action in respect to any federal, state, governmental
authority or agency
(or, if so required, such approval o r consent has been obtained),

agreement,
instrument, judgment, decree, franchise, permit, order, law,

Lease) to which Lessee is a party or by which it or its property is
bound or
affected, and (v) do not and will not contravene Lessee's articles
of

(d) There are no pending actions or proceedings to which Lessee is
a
party, and there are no other pending or threatened actions or
proceedings of
which Lessee has knowledge, before any court, arbitrator, or
administrative
agency, which would materially adversely affect the financial
condition of
Lessee or the ability of Lessee to perform its obligation
hereunder. Further,
Lessee is not in default under any material obligations for the
payment of
borrowed money, for the deferred purchase price of property or for
the payment
of any Rent which would have the same such effect.
         
(e) Under the laws of the state(s) in which the Equipment is to be

accounting
principles consistently applied, and accurately and completely
present Lessee's
financial condition and the results of its operations as of the
date of and for
the period covered by such statements, and since the date of such
statements
there has been no material adverse change in such conditions or
operations.

of
business and chief executive office of Lessee; and Lessee does not
