This Master Lease Agreement, dated
as of January 21, 2009 (this “ Agreement
”), is by and between Banc of America Leasing &
Capital, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company having an
office at 11333 McCormick Road, Hunt Valley, MD 21031 (together
with its successors and assigns, “Lessor” ), and
Integral Systems, Inc. as “ Lessee ”, a
corporation existing under the laws of the state of Maryland, and
having its chief executive office and any organizational
identification number as specified with its execution of this
Agreement below. Certain defined terms used herein are
identified in bold face and quotation marks throughout this
Agreement and in Section 15 below. This Agreement sets
forth the terms and conditions for the lease of Equipment between
Lessor and Lessee pursuant to one or more “ Schedules
” incorporating by reference the terms of this Agreement,
together with all exhibits, addenda, schedules, certificates,
riders and other documents and instruments executed and delivered
in connection with such Schedule (as amended from time to time, a
“Lease” ). Each Lease constitutes a separate,
distinct and independent lease of Equipment and contractual
obligation of Lessee. This Agreement is not an agreement or
commitment by Lessor or Lessee to enter into any future Leases or
other agreements, or for Lessor to provide any financial
accommodations to Lessee. Lessor shall not be obligated under any
circumstances to advance any progress payments or other funds for
any Equipment or to enter into any Lease if there shall have
occurred a material adverse change in the operations, business,
properties or condition, financial or otherwise, of Lessee or any
Guarantor. This Agreement and each Lease shall become effective
only upon Lessor’s acceptance and execution thereof at its
corporate offices set forth above.
1. Lease; Term;
Non-Interference. Lessor
and Lessee agree to lease Equipment described in Schedules entered
into from time to time, together with all other documentation from
Lessee required by Lessor with respect to such Lease. Upon receipt
of any item or group of Equipment intended for Lease hereunder,
Lessee shall execute a Schedule, with all information fully
completed and irrevocably accepting such Equipment for Lease, and
deliver such Schedule to Lessor for its review and acceptance.
Provided no Event of Default has occurred, Lessee shall be entitled
to use and possess the Equipment during the original Lease Term
provided in the Schedule (together with any extensions or renewals
thereof in accordance with terms of the Lease, the “Lease
Term” ) free from interference by any person claiming by,
through or under Lessor.
2. Rent. “ Rent ” shall be payable to
Lessor during the Lease Term in the amounts and at the times
provided in the Schedule. If any Rent or other amount payable
hereunder is not paid within 10 days of its due date, Lessee shall
pay an administrative late charge of 5% of the amount not timely
paid. All Rent and other amounts payable under a Lease shall be
made in immediately available funds at Lessor’s address above
or such other place as Lessor shall specify in writing. Unless
otherwise provided herein, payments received under any Lease will
be applied to all interest, fees and amounts owing thereunder
(other than Rent), and then to Rent payable thereunder.
3. Net Lease; Disclaimer Of
Warranties. Each Lease is
a net lease and a “finance lease” under Article 2A of
the UCC, and Lessee waives all rights and remedies Lessee may have
under sections 2A-508 – 2A-522 thereof, including any right
to cancel or repudiate any Lease or to reject or revoke acceptance
of any Equipment. Upon the “Acceptance Date”
provided in the Schedule for each Lease, Lessee’s Obligations
thereunder (i) shall be non-cancelable, absolute and
unconditional under all circumstances for the entire Lease Term,
(ii) shall be unaffected by the loss or destruction of any
Equipment, and (iii) shall not be subject to any abatement,
deferment, reduction, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or defense
for any reason whatsoever. LESSOR IS NOT A VENDOR OR AGENT OF THE
EQUIPMENT VENDOR, AND HAS NOT ENGAGED IN THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION
OF ANY EQUIPMENT. LESSOR MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY,
PERFORMANCE, CONDITION, EXISTENCE, FITNESS OR SUITABILITY FOR
LESSEE’S PURPOSES OF ANY EQUIPMENT, PATENT, TRADEMARK OR
COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENTS, THE CONFORMITY OF THE EQUIPMENT TO THE
DESCRIPTION THEREOF IN ANY LEASE, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT. If Equipment is
not delivered or properly installed, does not operate as warranted,
becomes obsolete, or is unsatisfactory for any reason, Lessee shall
make all claims on account thereof solely against Vendor and not
against Lessor. Lessee is solely responsible for the selection,
shipment, delivery and installation of the Equipment and its
Vendors, expressly disclaims any reliance upon any statements or
representations made by Lessor in connection therewith, and has
received and approved the terms of any purchase orders, warranties,
licenses or agreements with respect to the Equipment. During the
Lease Term, Lessee shall be entitled, on a non-exclusive basis, to
enforce any applicable Vendor warranties, to the extent permitted
thereby and by applicable law. Lessor assigns such warranties to
Lessee, to the extent permitted thereby, and agrees to cooperate
with Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, in making any
reasonable claim against such Vendor arising from any defect in the
Equipment.
4. Use; Maintenance; Location;
Inspection. Lessee shall:
(i) use, operate, protect and maintain the Equipment
(a) in good operating order, repair, condition and appearance,
in the same condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear
excepted, (b) consistent with prudent industry practice (but
in no event less than the extent to which Lessee maintains other
similar equipment in the prudent management of its assets and
properties), and (c) in compliance with all applicable
insurance policies, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and
manufacturer’s recommended maintenance and repair procedures,
and (ii) maintain comprehensive books and records regarding
the use, operation, maintenance and repair of the Equipment. The
Equipment shall be used only within the 48 contiguous United
States, solely for business purposes (and not for any consumer,
personal, home, or family purpose), and shall not be abandoned or
used for any unlawful purpose. Lessee shall not discontinue use of
any Equipment except for normal maintenance nor, through
modifications, alterations or otherwise, impair the current or
residual value, useful life, utility or originally intended
function of any Equipment without Lessor’s prior consent. Any
replacement or substitution of parts, improvements, upgrades, or
additions to the Equipment during the Lease Term shall be the
property of Lessor and subject to the Lease, except that if no
Event of Default exists, Lessee may at its expense remove
improvements or additions provided by Lessee that can be readily
removed without impairing the value, function or remaining useful
life of the Equipment. If requested by Lessor, Lessee shall cause
Equipment to be plainly marked to disclose Lessor’s
ownership, as specified by Lessor. Lessee shall not change the
location or, in the case of over-the-road vehicles, the base of any
Equipment specified in its Schedule without Lessor’s prior
written consent. Lessor shall have the right to enter any premises
where Equipment is located and inspect it (together with related
books and records) at any reasonable time.
5. Loss and Damage.
Lessee assumes all risk of (and
shall promptly notify Lessor in writing of any occurrence of) any
damage to or loss, theft, confiscation or destruction of any
Equipment from any cause whatsoever (a “ Casualty
”) from the date shipped or otherwise made available to
Lessee and continuing until it is returned to and accepted by
Lessor in the condition required by the Lease, including
Section 8 of this Agreement. If any Equipment suffers a
Casualty which Lessor determines is reparable, Lessee shall at its
expense promptly place the same in good repair, condition or
working order. If any Equipment suffers a Casualty which Lessor
determines is beyond repair or materially impairs its residual
value (a “ Total Loss ”), Lessee shall
at
Page 1 of 6
Lessor’s option either (a) promptly
replace such Equipment with a similar item reasonably acceptable to
Lessor having an equivalent value, utility and remaining useful
life of such Equipment, whereupon such replacement items shall
constitute Equipment for all purposes the Lease, or (b) on the
Rent payment date following such Casualty (or, if none, within 30
days) pay Lessor the Stipulated Loss Value for such Equipment,
together with all Rent scheduled for payment on such date, and all
accrued interest, late charges and other amounts then due and owing
under the Lease. Upon such payment following a Total Loss, the
Lease with respect to the Equipment suffering a Total Loss shall
terminate, and Lessor shall transfer all of its right, title and
interest in such Equipment, free from all liens and encumbrances
created by Lessor, but otherwise on an “AS-IS,
WHERE-IS,” quitclaim basis. If less than all Equipment under
a Schedule suffers a Total Loss, (i) the Stipulated Loss Value
with respect to any such item of Equipment shall be calculated by
reference to the allocable portion of “Lessor’s
Cost” provided in the applicable Schedule, Rent or other
amount related to such item, as reasonably determined by Lessor,
and (ii) the remaining Rent under the Schedule shall be
proportionately reduced as reasonably calculated by Lessor upon
Lessor’s receipt of the payments described above.
6. Insurance.
Lessee, at its own expense, shall
keep each item of Equipment insured against all risks for its
replacement value, and in no event less than its Stipulated Loss
Value, and shall maintain public liability and, with respect to
Equipment that is over-the-road vehicles, automotive liability
insurance against such risks and for such amounts as Lessor may
require. All such insurance shall (a) be with companies rated
“A-” or better by A.M. Best Company, in such form as
Lessor shall approve, (b) specify Lessor and Lessee as
insureds and provide that it may not be canceled or altered in any
way that would affect the interest of Lessor without at least 30
days’ prior written notice to Lessor (10 days’ in the
case of nonpayment of premium), (c) be primary, without right
of contribution from any other insurance carried by Lessor and
contain waiver of subrogation and “breach of warranty”
provisions satisfactory to Lessor, (d) provide that all
amounts payable by reason of loss or damage to Equipment shall be
payable solely to Lessor, unless Lessor otherwise agrees, and
(e) contain such other endorsements as Lessor may reasonably
require. Lessee shall provide Lessor with evidence satisfactory to
Lessor of the required insurance upon the execution of any Schedule
and promptly upon any renewal of any required policy.
7. Indemnities; Taxes.
Lessee’s indemnity and
reimbursement obligations set forth below shall survive the
cancellation, termination or expiration of any Lease or this
Agreement.
(a) General Indemnity .
Lessee shall indemnify, on an after-tax basis, defend and hold
harmless Lessor and its respective officers, directors, employees,
agents and Affiliates (“ Indemnified Persons ”)
against all claims, liabilities, losses and expenses whatsoever
(except those determined by final decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have been directly and primarily caused by the
Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct),
including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses (together, “ Attorneys’ Fees ”),
in any way relating to or arising out of the Equipment or any Lease
at any time, or the ordering, acquisition, rejection, installation,
possession, maintenance, use, ownership, condition, destruction or
return of the Equipment, including any claims based in negligence,
strict liability in tort, environmental liability or
infringement.
(b) General Tax Indemnity .
Lessee shall pay or reimburse Lessor, and indemnify, defend and
hold Lessor harmless from, on an after-tax basis, all taxes,
assessments, fees and other governmental charges paid or required
to be paid by Lessor or Lessee in any way arising out of or related
to the Equipment or any Lease before or during the Lease Term or
after the Lease Term following an Event of Default, including
foreign, Federal, state, county and municipal fees, taxes and
assessments, and property, value-added, sales, use, gross receipts,
excise, stamp and documentary taxes, and all related penalties,
fines, additions to tax and interest charges (“
Impositions ”), excluding only Federal and state taxes
based on Lessor’s net income unless such taxes are in lieu of
any Imposition Lessee would otherwise be required to pay hereunder.
Lessee shall timely pay any Imposition for which Lessee is
primarily responsible under law and any other Imposition not
payable or not paid by Lessor, but Lessee shall have no obligation
to pay any Imposition being contested in good faith and by
appropriate legal proceedings, the nonpayment of which does not, in
the opinion of Lessor, result in a material risk of adverse effect
on the title, property, use, disposition or other rights of Lessor
with respect to the Equipment. Upon Lessor’s request, Lessee
shall furnish proof of its payment of any Imposition.
(c) Income Tax Indemnity .
Lessor shall be treated for federal and state income tax purposes
as the owner of the Equipment and shall be entitled to take into
account certain Tax Benefits in computing its income tax
liabilities in connection with any Lease. If Lessor suffers a Tax
Loss by reason of any act or failure to act by Lessee, or
Lessee’s breach of any representation, warranty or agreement
in any Lease then, upon Lessor’s demand and at Lessor’s
option, either: (i) all further Rent under the Lease, if any,
shall be increased by an amount, or (ii) Lessee shall pay
Lessor a lump sum amount, which in either case shall
maintain the net economic after-tax yield, cash-flow and rate of
return Lessor originally anticipated, based on Lessor’s
federal and state corporate income tax rate in effect on the
Acceptance Date of the applicable Schedule and other assumptions
originally used by Lessor in evaluating the transaction and setting
the Rent therefor and other terms thereof. Lessee shall also pay
Lessor on demand all interest, costs (including Attorneys’
Fees), penalties and additions to tax associated with the Tax Loss.
Lessor shall have no obligation to contest any Tax Loss. All
references to “ Lessor ” in this
Section 7(c) shall include (A) Lessor’s successors
and Assignees, and (B) each member of the affiliated group of
corporations, as defined in Section 1504(a) of the Code, of
which Lessor or such successor or Assignee is at any time a member.
As used herein: “Tax Benefits” means all items
of income, deduction (including depreciation consistent with
Lessee’s representation in the applicable Schedule), credit,
gain or loss relating to ownership of the Equipment as are provided
to owners of similar equipment under the Code and applicable state
tax laws in effect on the Acceptance Date of such Schedule; and
“Tax Loss” means and will be deemed to be
suffered if Lessor loses, is delayed in claiming, is required to
recapture, is not allowed or may not claim all or any portion of
any Tax Benefits, provided, however , that Lessee shall be
under no obligation to make any payments with respect to a Tax Loss
to the extent that it (1) is caused by Lessor’s failure
to have sufficient taxable income to benefit from any Tax Benefits,
or (2) results from any disposition of Equipment by Lessor
other than a disposition of Equipment following an Event of
Default.
8. Return.
Upon any cancellation, termination
or expiration of any Lease (after the occurrence of an Event of
Default or otherwise), Lessee shall, at its expense, cause the
Equipment to be prepared and adequately protected for shipment by
an authorized manufacturer’s representative and either
surrender it to Lessor in place or, if instructed by Lessor, ship
the Equipment to Lessor, freight and insurance pre-paid, to a place
designated by Lessor within the 48 contiguous United States, in the
condition required under Section 4 hereof and under the
applicable Schedule, able to be put into immediate service and to
perform at manufacturer’s rated levels (if any), together
with all related manuals, documents and records, and, if
applicable, reassembled by an authorized manufacturer’s
representative and immediately qualified for the
manufacturer’s (or its authorized servicing
representative’s) then available service contract or
warranty. If requested by Lessor, Lessee shall, at its expense:
(i) cause the Equipment to qualify for all applicable licenses
or permits necessary for its operation and for its intended
purpose, and to comply with all specifications and requirements of
applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and
ordinances; (ii) provide safe, suitable storage, acceptable to
Lessor, for the Equipment for a period not to exceed 90 days from
the date of
Page 2 of 6
return; and (iii) cooperate with Lessor in
attempting to remarket the Equipment, including display and
demonstration to prospective parties, and allowing Lessor to
conduct a private sale on Lessee’s premises. If Lessee does
not surrender or return any item of Equipment to Lessor on the date
or in the condition required under a Lease, in addition to all
other available rights and remedies, at Lessor’s election,
such Equipment shall continue to be subject to all the terms and
conditions of the Lease, with Rent and other charges continuing to
accrue and be payable under the Lease with respect to such
Equipment until it is so surrendered or returned to Lessor, except
that Rent shall accrue at 125% of the last Rent allocable to such
item of Equipment (as reasonably calculated by Lessor) during the
Lease Term, payable on demand.
9. Lessee Representations and
Agreements. Lessee
represents, warrants and agrees that: (a) Lessee has had for
the previous 5 years (except as previously disclosed to Lessor in
writing) the legal name and form of business organization in the
state described above; (b) Lessee’s chief executive
office and notice address, taxpayer identification number and any
organizational identification number is as described with its
execution of this Agreement below; (c) Lessee shall notify
Lessor in writing at least 30 days before changing its legal name,
state of organization, chief executive office location or
organizational identification number; (d) Lessee is duly
organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the state
described above and all other jurisdictions where legally required
in order to carry on its business, shall maintain its good standing
in all such jurisdictions, and shall conduct its businesses and
manage its properties in compliance with all applicable laws, rules
or regulations binding on Lessee; (e) the execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement, each Lease and Related Agreement
to which it is a party has been duly authorized by Lessee, each of
which are and will be binding on and enforceable against Lessee in
accordance with their terms, and do not and will not contravene any
other instrument or agreement binding on Lessee; and (f) there
is no pending litigation, tax or environmental claim, proceeding,
dispute or regulatory or enforcement action (and Lessee shall
promptly notify Lessor of any of the same that may hereafter arise)
that may adversely affect any Equipment or Lessee’s financial
condition or impair its ability to perform its
Obligations.
10. Title; Property; Additional
Security. (a)
Title; Personal Property . Each Lease is and is intended to
be a lease of personal property for all purposes. Lessee does not
acquire any right, title or interest in or to any Equipment, except
the right to use and possess the same under the terms of the
applicable Lease. Except as specifically provided in the applicable
Schedule, Lessee has no right or option to extend the Lease Term of
a Lease or purchase any Equipment. Lessee assigns all of its rights
(but none of its obligations) to Lessor under any purchase orders,
invoices or other contracts of sale with respect to the Equipment,
and conveys whatever right, title and interest it may now or
hereafter have in any Equipment to Lessor. Lessor shall be the sole
owner of Equipment free and clear of all liens or encumbrances,
other than Lessee’s rights under the Lease. Lessee will not
create or permit to exist any lien, security interest, charge or
encumbrance on any Equipment except those created by Lessor. The
Equipment shall remain personal property at all times,
notwithstanding the manner in which it may be affixed to realty.
Lessee shall obtain and record such instruments and take such steps
as may be necessary to (i) prevent any creditor, landlord,
mortgagee or other entity (other than Lessor) from having any lien,
charge, security interest or encumbrance on any Equipment, and
(ii) ensure Lessor’s right of access to and removal of
Equipment in accordance with the Lease.
(b) Additional Security . To
secure the punctual payment and performance of Lessee’s
Obligations under each Lease and, as a separate grant of security,
to secure the payment and performance of all other Obligations
owing to Lessor, Lessee grants to Lessor a continuing security
interest in the Collateral, provided, however , that if
there then exists no Event of Default, Lessor’s security
interest in Collateral subject to a Lease shall terminate upon the
payment and performance of all Obligations of Lessee under the
applicable Lease. Notwithstanding the grant of a security interest
in any Collateral, Lessee shall have no right to sell, lease, rent,
dispose or surrender possession, use or operation of any Equipment
to any third parties without the prior written consent of Lessor.
The foregoing grant of a security interest shall not of itself be a
factor in determining whether any Lease creates a lease or security
interest in the Equipment under applicable provisions of the
UCC.
11. Default.
Each of the following (a “
Default ”) shall, with the giving of any notice or
passage of any time period specified, constitute an “
Event of Default ” hereunder and under all Leases:
(1) Lessee fails to pay any Rent or other amount owing under
any Lease within 10 days of its due date; (2) Lessee fails to
maintain insurance as required herein, or sells, leases, subleases,
assigns, conveys, or suffers to exist any lien, charge, security
interest or encumbrance on, any Equipment without Lessor’s
prior consent, or any Equipment is subjected to levy, seizure or
attachment; (3) Lessee fails to perform or comply with any
other covenant or obligation under any Lease or Related Agreement
and, if curable, such failure continues for 30 days after written
notice thereof by Lessor to Lessee; (4) any representation,
warranty or other written statement made to Lessor by Lessee in
connection with this Agreement, any Lease, Related Agreement or
other Obligation, or by any Guarantor pursuant to any Guaranty
(including financial statements) proves to have been incorrect in
any material respect when made; (5) Lessee (w) enters
into any merger or consolidation with, or sells or transfers all or
any substantial portion of its assets to, or enters into any
partnership or joint venture other than in the ordinary course of
business with, any entity, (x) dies (if a natural person),
dissolves, liquidates or ceases or suspends the conduct of
business, or ceases to maintain its existence, (y) if Lessee
is a privately held entity, enters into or suffers any transaction
or series of transactions as a result of which Lessee is directly
or indirectly controlled by persons or entities not directly or
indirectly controlling Lessee as of the date hereof, or (z) if
Lessee is a publicly held entity, there shall be a change in the
ownership of Lessee’s stock or other equivalent ownership
interest such that Lessee is no longer subject to the reporting
requirements of, or no longer has a class of equity securities
registered under, the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934; (6) Lessee undertakes any general
assignment for the benefit of creditors or commences any voluntary
case or proceeding for relief under the federal bankruptcy code, or
any other law for the relief of debtors, or takes any action to
authorize or implement any of the foregoing; (7) the filing of
any petition or application against Lessee under any law for the
relief of debtors, including proceedings under the federal
bankruptcy code, or for the subjection of property of Lessee to the
control of any court, receiver or agency for the benefit of
creditors if such petition or application is consented to by Lessee
or is otherwise not dismissed within 60 days from the date of
filing; (8) any default occurs under any other lease, credit
or other agreement or instrument to which Lessee and Lessor or any
Affiliate of Lessor are now or hereafter party; (9) any
default occurs under any other agreement or instrument to which
Lessee is a party and under which there is outstanding, owing or
committed an aggregate amount greater than $100,000; (10) any
attempted repudiation, breach or default of any Guaranty; or
(11) the occurrence of any event described in clauses
(4) through (9) above with reference to any Guarantor or
any controlling shareholder, general partner or member of Lessee.
Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor in writing of any Default or
Event of Default.
12. Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Lessor may, in its discretion, exercise any one
or more of the following remedies with respect to any or all Leases
or Equipment: (1) cause Lessee to promptly discontinue use of
or disable any Equipment, or to assemble and return any Equipment
or other Collateral in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Lease; (2) remedy such Event of Default or proceed by court
action, either at law or in equity, to enforce performance of the
applicable provisions of any Lease; (3) with or without court
order, enter upon the premises where
Page 3 of 6
Equipment is located and repossess and remove
the same, all without liability for damage to such premises or by
reason such entry or repossession, except for Lessor’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct; (4) dispose of any Equipment
in a public or private transaction, or hold, use, operate or keep
idle the Equipment, free and clear of any rights or interests of
Lessee therein; (5) recover direct, incidental, consequential
and other damages for the breach of any Lease, including the
payment of all Rent and other amounts payable thereunder
(discounted at the Discount Rate with respect to any accelerated
future amounts), and all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in
exercising its remedies or enforcing its rights thereunder
(including all Attorneys’ Fees); (6) by written notice
to Lessee, cancel any Lease and, as liquidated damages for the loss
of Lessor’s bargain and not as a penalty, declare immediately
due and payable an amount equal to the Stipulated Loss Value
applicable to such Leases which Lessee acknowledges to be
reasonable liquidated damages in light of the anticipated harm to
Lessor that might be caused by an Event of Default and the facts
and circumstances existing as of the Acceptance Date of each Lease;
(7) without notice to Lessee, apply or set-off against any
Obligations all security deposits, advance payments, proceeds of
letters of credit, certificates of deposit (whether or not
matured), securities or other additional collateral held by Lessor
or otherwise credited by or due from Lessor to Lessee; or
(8) pursue all other remedies provided under the UCC or other
applicable law. Upon the commencement of any voluntary case under
the federal bankruptcy code concerning the Lessee, the remedy
provided in clause (6) above shall be automatically exercised
without the requirement of prior written notice to Lessee or of any
other act or declaration by Lessor, and the liquidated damages
described therein shall be immediately due and payable. Lessee
shall pay interest equal to the lesser of (a) 12% per
annum, or (b) the highest rate permitted by applicable law (
“Default Rate” ) on (i) any amount other
than Rent owing under any Lease and not paid when due,
(ii) Rent not paid within 30 days of its due date, and
(iii) any amount required to be paid upon cancellation of any
Lease under this Section 12. Any payments received by Lessor
after an Event of Default, including proceeds of any disposition of
Equipment, shall be applied in the following order: (A) to all
of Lessor’s costs (including Attorneys’ Fees), charges
and expenses incurred in taking, removing, holding, repairing and
selling or leasing the Equipment or other Collateral or enforcing
the provisions hereof; (B) to the extent not previously paid
by Lessee, to pay Lessor for any damages then remaining unpaid
hereunder; (C) to reimburse Lessee for any sums previously
paid by Lessee as damages hereunder; and (D) the balance, if
any, shall be retained by Lessor.
(b) No remedy referred to in this
Section 12 shall be exclusive, each shall be cumulative (but
not duplicative of recovery of any Obligation) and in addition to
any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to Lessor
at law or in equity, and all such remedies shall survive the
cancellation of any Lease. Lessor’s exercise or partial
exercise of, or failure to exercise, any remedy shall not restrict
Lessor from further exercise of that remedy or any other available
remedy. No extension of time for payment or performance of any
Obligation shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or
affect the original liability of Lessee for any Obligations, either
in whole or in part. Lessor may proceed against any Collateral or
Guarantor, or may proceed contemporaneously or in the first
instance against Lessee, in such order and at such times following
an Event of Default as Lessor determines in its sole discretion. In
any action to repossess any Equipment or other Collateral, Lessee
waives any bonds and any surety or security required by any
applicable laws as an incident to such repossession. Notices of
Lessor’s intention to accelerate, acceleration, nonpayment,
presentment, protest, dishonor, or any other notice whatsoever
(other than notices of Default specifically required of Lessor
pursuant to Section 11 above) are waived by Lessee and any
Guarantor. Any notice given by Lessor of any disposition of
Collateral or other intended action of Lessor which is given in
accordance with this Agreement at least 5 business days prior to
such action, shall constitute fair and reasonable notice of such
action.
13. Assignment.
Lessor and any Assignee may assign
or transfer any of Lessor’s interests in any Lease or
Equipment without notice to Lessee, subject, however, to the rights
of Lessee to use and possess the Equipment under such Lease for so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Lessee
agrees that: (i) the rights of any Assignee shall not be
affected by any breach or default of Lessor or any prior Assignee,
and Lessee shall not assert any defense, rights of set-off or
counterclaim against any Assignee, nor hold or attempt to hold such
Assignee liable for any such breach or default; (ii) no
Assignee shall be required to assume any obligations of Lessor
under any Lease except the obligation of non-interference in
Section 1 above, (iii) any Assignee expressly assuming
the obligations of Lessor shall thereupon be responsible for
Lessor’s duties under the applicable Lease accruing after
assignment and Lessor shall be released from such duties, and
(iv) Lessee shall execute and deliver upon request such
additional documents, instruments and assurances as Lessor deems
necessary in order to (y) acknowledge and confirm all of the
terms and conditions of any Lease and Lessor’s or such
Assignee’s rights with respect thereto, and Lessee’s
compliance with all of the terms and provisions thereof, and
(z) preserve, protect and perfect Lessor’s or
Assignee’s right, title or interest hereunder and in any
Equipment, including, without limitation, such UCC financing
statements or amendments, control agreements, corporate or member
resolutions, votes, notices of assignment of interests, and
confirmations of Lessee’s obligations and representations and
warranties with respect thereto as of the dates requested. Lessor
may disclose to any potential Assignee any information regarding
Lessee, any Guarantor and their Affiliates. Lessee shall not
assign, pledge, hypothecate or in any way dispose of any of its
rights or obligations under any Lease, or enter into any sublease
of any Equipment, without Lessor’s prior written consent. Any
purported assignment, pledge, hypothecation, disposal or sublease
by Lessee made without Lessor’s prior written consent shall
be null and void.
14. Financial and Other
Data. (a) During any
Lease Term, Lessee shall (i) maintain books and records in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied (“ GAAP ”) and prudent
business practice; (ii) promptly provide Lessor, within 120
days after the close of each fiscal year, and, upon Lessor’s
request, within 45 days of the end of each quarter of
