each Indemnified Person harmless for, from, and against any and all claims
(including, but not limited to, claims based on or relating to copyright,
trademark or patent infringement, environmental liability, negligence, strict
liability in tort, statutory liability or violation of laws), losses, damages,

operation, return, repossession, sale or other disposition of, any Unit, before

cumulative, and may be
- 9 -
exercised by Lessor in any order or manner, as to the Lease and Units
or only a portion thereof, all as Lessor shall determine in its sole
discretion. No exercise of any remedy available to Lessor shall

hereby irrevocably authorized by Lessee (and Lessee, at its sole cost
and expense, shall cause Lessor to be duly authorized by all necessary

exercising such right, Lessor may incur any liability and expend any amount
which in its reasonable discretion it deems necessary. All sums Lessor so incurs
or spends shall be, without demand, immediately due and payable by Lessee to
Lessor and shall bear interest from the date so incurred or spent, whichever is
earlier, until paid in full to Lessor at the Default Rate.
ARTICLE XI
BANKRUPTCY
11.1 Bankruptcy of Lessor.
(a) Lessor represents, warrants and covenants that it does not
presently intend to file or solicit its creditors to file on Lessor's behalf for
protection or reorganization under the bankruptcy laws of the United States. If
there shall be filed by or against the Lessor a petition (whether voluntary or
involuntary) under any Chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Code")
on or after the date hereof, it is the intention of the Lessor and the Lessee
that the Lessee shall have the immediate right, at its option, to elect one of
the following alternatives:
(i) provided that Lessee has terminated the MSA Agreement and
this Lease, return all of the Units to Lessor F.O.B. at such location
in the metropolitan area of Phoenix as directed by Lessor (in the event
Lessor fails or refuses to provide for a delivery site, Lessee shall
have the unqualified right to deliver the Units to a storage facility
and Lessor shall be liable for any and all storage expenses incurred
thereby); or
- 10 -
(ii) provided that Lessee reaffirms its obligations under the
MSA Agreement and this Lease, Lessee shall have the immediate right to
exercise the purchase option described in the Appendix or to continue
the Lease.
Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that the remedies of the Lessee set forth in this
Section 11.1 are the sole and exclusive remedies of Lessee (in lieu of all other
remedies) arising from the bankruptcy of Lessor and are therefore fair and
equitable. The purpose of this Lease (as to Lessee) is to provide Lessee with
the machinery necessary to fulfill its obligations under the MSA Agreement.
Lessor's bankruptcy may result in a reduction in the volume of Grips purchased
by Lessor and therefore the commercial value of both the MSA Agreement and this
Lease will be materially reduced. Lessor hereby agrees not to object to, nor to
request a trustee in bankruptcy to attempt to, petition the Bankruptcy Court to
set aside the provisions of this Section 11.1.
11.2 Bankruptcy of Lessee. Lessee represents, warrants and covenants that it
does not presently intend to file or solicit its creditors to file on Lessor's
behalf for protection or reorganization under the Bankruptcy Laws of the United
States or to make any assignment for the benefit of creditors under any state
laws. If there shall be filed by or against the Lessee a petition (whether
voluntary or involuntary) under any chapter of the Code, on or after the date
hereof, it is the intention of the Lessor and Lessee that the Lessor shall have
immediate right to terminate this Lease, enter upon the Plant, and disassemble
and remove the Units. The MSA Agreement shall thereafter be deemed terminated
and all obligations of Lessee and Lessor hereunder shall immediately terminate.
Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that the rights and remedies of Lessor set forth
in this Section 11.2 are the sole and exclusive remedies of Lessor (in lieu of
all other remedies) arising from the bankruptcy of Lessor and are therefore fair
and equitable. The purpose of this Lease (as to Lessor) is to provide Lessor
with an acceptable manufacturer to fulfill 100% of Lessor's needs for Grips (of
the quality required by Lessor). Lessee's bankruptcy may result in a material
reduction in the commercial value of both the MSA Agreement and this Lease.
Lessee hereby agrees not to object to, nor to request a trustee in bankruptcy
to, attempt to petition the Bankruptcy Court to set aside the conditions of this
Section 11.
ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS
12.1 Assignment. Lessor may not assign or transfer all or any of the right,
title or interest of Lessor in and to the Units without the prior written
consent of Lessee, but may assign the rights, benefits and advantages of Lessor
under the Lease hereunder, including the rights to receive payment of rent or
any other payment hereunder. No assignment of this lease or any right or
obligation hereunder may be made by Lessee or any assignee of Lessee without the
prior written consent of Lessor.

12.2 Further Assurances. Lessee and Lessor confirm there is no pending
litigation, tax claim, proceeding or dispute that may adversely affect its
financial condition or impair its ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

authorized to do business in any applicable state) and do any further act and
execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, register and record any further documents
Lessor may reasonably request in order to protect Lessor's title to the Units
and Lessor's rights and benefits under this Lease.

set forth in the Appendix on the amount of any payment not made when due
hereunder from the date due until payment is made.
12.4 Effect of Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or
remedy accruing to Lessor upon any breach or default of Lessee hereunder shall
impair any such right, power or remedy nor shall it be construed to be a waiver
of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein or of or in any
similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any
single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default
theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of
any kind or character on the part of Lessor of any breach or default under this
Lease must be in writing specifically set forth.
12.5 Survival of Covenants. All obligations of Lessee and Lessor (as applicable)
under Articles 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11 and 12.1 and the Appendix shall survive
the expiration or termination of this Lease to the extent required for their
full observance and performance.
12.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the state of Massachusetts (excluding its, or any
other jurisdiction's, choice of law principles).
12.7 Severability. Should any part of any provision of this Lease be held
invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or unenforceable part or provision shall
be replaced with a provision which accomplishes, to the extent possible, the
original business purpose and economic intent of such part or provision in a
valid and enforceable manner, and the remainder of this Lease shall remain
binding upon the parties hereto.
12.8 Financial Information. Lessee shall keep its books and records in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices
consistently applied and shall deliver to Lessor such financial statements and
information as Lessor may reasonably request. Credit information relating to

their respective successors and assigns.

"dispute") arising directly or indirectly out of or related to this Lease, or
the breach thereof, whether contractual or noncontractual, and whether during
the term or after the termination of this Agreement, shall be resolved
exclusively according to the procedures set forth in this Appendix.
A. Negotation. The parties shall attempt to settle disputes arising out
of or relating to this Lease or the breach thereof by a meeting of two
designated representatives of each party within five (5) days after a request by
either of the parties to the other party asking for the same.
B. Mediation. If such dispute cannot be settled at such meeting, either
party, within five (5) days of such meeting may give a written notice (a
"Dispute Notice") to the other party setting forth the nature of the dispute.
The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute by mediation in
Phoenix, Arizona, under the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") in effect on the date of the Dispute Notice. The
parties shall select a person who will act as the mediator under this Paragraph
B within 60 days of the date of the Lease. If the dispute has not been resolved
by mediation as provided above within thirty (30) days after delivery of the
Dispute Notice, then the dispute shall be determined by arbitration in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraph C hereof.
C. Arbitration. Any dispute that is not settled through mediation as
provided in Paragraph B above shall be resolved by arbitration in Phoenix,
Arizona, governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. ss. 1 et seq, and
administered by the AAA under its Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect on the
date of the Dispute Notice, as modified by the provisions of this Section C, by
a single arbitrator. The arbitrator selected, in order to be eligible to serve,
shall be a lawyer with at least 15 years experience specializing in either
general commercial litigation or general corporate and commercial matters. In
the event the parties cannot agree on a mutually acceptable single arbitrator
from the list submitted by the AAA, the AAA shall appoint the arbitrator who
shall meet the foregoing criteria. The arbitrator shall base the award on
applicable law and judicial precedent and, unless both parties agree otherwise,
shall include in such award the findings of fact and conclusions of law upon
which the award is based. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s)
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The award may only be
made for compensatory damages, and if any other damages (whether exemplary,
punitive, consequential, statutory or other) are included, the award shall be
vacated and remanded, or modified or corrected, as appropriate to promote this
damage limitation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(a) Upon the application by either party to a court for an
order confirming, modifying or vacating the award, the court shall have the
power to review whether, as a matter of law based on the findings of fact
determined by the arbitrator, the award should be confirmed, modified or vacated
in order to correct any errors of law made by the arbitrator. In order to
effectuate such judicial review limited to issues of law, the parties agree (and
shall stipulate to the
-3-
court) that the findings of fact made by the arbitrator shall be final and
binding on the parties and shall serve as the facts to be submitted to and
relied on by the court in determining the extent to which the award should be
confirmed, modified or vacated.
(b) Either party shall have the right to apply to any court
for an order to enforce any of the ownership and confidentiality provisions
contained in the Agreement.
D. Costs and Attorneys' Fees. If either party fails to proceed with
mediation or arbitration as provided herein or unsuccessfully seeks to stay such
mediation or arbitration, or fails to comply with any arbitration award, or is
unsuccessful in vacating or modifying the award pursuant to a petition or
application for judicial review, the other party shall be entitled to be awarded
costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, paid or incurred by such other
party in successfully compelling such arbitration or defending against the
attempt to stay, vacate or modify such arbitration award and/or successfully
defending or enforcing the award.
E. Tolling of Statute of Limitations. All applicable statutes of
limitations and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled while
the procedures specified herein are pending. The parties will take such action,
if any, required to effectuate such tolling.
