its attachment to real property, in any manner, and is in good working order.
Seller has properly made or has caused to be made all required governmental and
administrative filings and recordings, if any, and has obtained unconditionally,
all permits and approvals (including patent licenses, if any) as necessary to
protect the interest of Seller as owner of the Equipment and has or shall, as
required by UJB, promptly, at Seller's sole cost and expense, obtain and
deliver to UJB waivers, executed by the landlord and/or the mortgagee(s) of the
real property where the Equipment is located, of any claim or right to lien,
levy or distraint for rent against the Equipment and of any claim of any
interest in the Equipment, as fixtures or otherwise, duly executed in form and
substance acceptable to UJB in recordable form in accordance with the laws of
the state where such real property is located.
6.3 UJB's security interest in the Equipment is, or will constitute, upon
the proper filing or recording of the UCC financing statements delivered by
Seller to UJB together with each Assignment, a valid, enforceable and perfected
first priority purchase money security interest in the Equipment pursuant to the
laws of the jurisdiction where the Equipment is located subject, however, to the
provisions of Section 3.3 above, provided, however, with respect to Equipment
with an original value of $10,000 or less, no UCC financing statement has or
will be filed ("Unperfected Equipment").
6.4 If a certificate of title or similar certificate is required by law
with respect to the Equipment, Seller has obtained such certificate and shall
cause any notation thereon to be made in a timely manner to perfect UJB's first
priority security interest in the Equipment. Seller has
13
duly filed the UCC Financing Statements which, if Seller's interest in the
Equipment were to be deemed a security interest, would perfect a first priority
purchase money security interest of Seller in the Equipment in the jurisdiction
where the Equipment is located. Acknowledgment copies of these Financing
Statements, together with acknowledgment copies of the Financing Statements duly
filed to protect UJB's interest in the Paper, have been delivered to UJB with
the Assignment, except with regard to the Unperfected Equipment.
6.5 At the time an Assignment is delivered to UJB, the Equipment is fully
insured against loss, fire, theft, damage or destruction from any cause
whatsoever in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of the Equipment
(without provision for depreciation) and the Debtor maintains additional
insurance against injury, loss or damage to persons or property arising out of
the use or operation of the Equipment as is customarily maintained by owners of
like property, all with insurance companies satisfactory to UJB; provided,
however, such insurance shall not be required to be obtained or maintained with
respect to Equipment with an original value of $50,000 or less ("Uninsured
Equipment").
6.6 The representations and warranties made under this Section VI shall
survive the execution, delivery, performance and termination of this Agreement
and shall not be waived by any investigation by UJB relating thereto.

rights as against Seller, the Debtor, any Guarantor or Pledgor, or in the
prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding related to the subject matter

disbursements incurred by UJB. All such expenses, costs and other sums shall be
deemed Seller's Obligations and/or Debtor Obligations secured by the Collateral.
16
7.9 All warranties and representations made herein by Seller, and in any
other agreements or documents executed and/or delivered by Seller to UJB in
connection with this Agreement, will continue to be true and accurate so long as
the Seller's Obligations and the Debtor Obligations remain unpaid or
unperformed.
7.10 The Seller agrees to pay any tax, assessment, penalty or other charge
or liens upon or with regard to all transactions under this Agreement, all
Assignments, all Paper and the Equipment, existing at any time, whether before
or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Assignment, and to
furnish proof thereof satisfactory to UJB, within thirty (30) days after such
payment is due; if UJB shall so elect, it may pay such taxes, assessments,
penalties, charges, encumbrances or liens and add the amount of such payments to
the Seller's Obligations, which amount so paid shall be paid by Seller on
demand. Seller hereby indemnifies and holds UJB harmless from and against all

liable for and does not indemnity UJB for any penalties or interest resulting
from UJB's gross negligence or willful misconduct

accepted accounting principles consistently applied on a consolidated basis with
its subsidiaries and affiliates, and all audited by independent certified public
accountants of recognized standing selected by Seller and satisfactory to UJB,
and in addition to such statements, any supplementary information to the
financial reports as UJB shall reasonably require.
(b) Seller shall also deliver to UJB, within forty-five (45) days
after the end of each quarter-annual fiscal period of the Seller, except the
fourth quarter, its balance sheet as at the end of such period, its cumulative
income and surplus statement and its statement of cash flows for the period
beginning on the first day of such fiscal year and ending on the date of such
balance sheet, all in reasonable detail, all prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, certified by the
chief financial officer of the Seller and in addition to such statements any
supplementary information to the financial reports as UJB shall reasonably
require.
(c) As soon as practical after the end of each month, and in any
event within ten (10) days after the end of such month, Seller shall cause to be
furnished to UJB a monthly detailed trial balance of the Paper purchased by UJB
hereunder, as of the close of the preceding month, together with a
reconciliation report showing collections, payments, adjustments and
delinquencies relating to said Paper, in form and substance acceptable to UJB.
All such statements shall be certified as correct by the chief financial officer
of Seller.
7.12 Seller agrees to promptly pay all finders' fees, brokerage fees,
commissions or similar fees payable to any person or entity in connection with
the transactions described in this Agreement, if any. Seller agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless UJB from and against any
17
claim of any broker, finder or other person, together with any attorneys' fees
incurred by UJB in respect thereto, arising out of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Seller and UJB acknowledge that they are not, as of the date
of this Agreement, aware of any such fees due to any person or entity. This
obligation shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
7.13 From and after the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default,
or as otherwise provided under Section 9 hereof, and if requested by UJB, Seller
shall direct all Debtors, Guarantors or Pledgors to remit all payments under
each Item of Paper to UJB or to an account designated by UJB. UJB agrees to
apply such funds paid to the Seller's Obligations and the Debtor Obligations
upon receipt thereof by UJB. Seller shall not modify, accept any payment from
any Debtor under, or make any payment on behalf of or to any Debtor for the
purpose or with the result, whether or not intended, of cancelling or
preventing an Event of Default under any Item of Paper (except as otherwise
provided herein), and Seller agrees that if any such payment is received by it,
such payment shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of UJB and shall
promptly be remitted by Seller to UJB.
7.14 The form of the Paper which now exists or shall be used by Seller and
entered into in the future during the term of this Agreement and offered for
sale to UJB hereunder, shall be in substantially the same form as the Paper
reviewed and approved by UJB prior to the execution of this Agreement. The
Seller shall not modify, amend or otherwise alter any of the terms of the Paper
or any other document or writing thereto without UJB's prior written consent, or
waive any of Seller's rights, if such modification might result in any
diminution or adverse effect upon the Collateral or the conduct of the business
of Seller or otherwise impair the enforceability of the Paper and the rights of
UJB with respect to the Paper or the Equipment. If any forms of Paper or any
other related documents are furnished to Seller by UJB, Seller shall use such
forms only in conjunction with transactions that Seller sells to UJB hereunder.
Seller shall not disclose, distribute or otherwise disseminate any such form to
any third party (other than the Debtor) or claim a proprietary interest in any
such form or any other document delivered by UJB to Seller. Seller's use of any
such forms shall not constitute a defense against or waiver of Seller's breach
of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement or in any
Assignment. UJB's knowledge of any breach by Seller in any representation,
warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or in any Assignment, or UJB's
failure to disclose its knowledge of such breach to Seller, at the time of the
purchase of any Item of Paper, or at any time thereafter, shall neither impair
UJB's ability to fully enforce, nor constitute a defense against or waiver of,
any of Seller's Obligations, unless UJB shall have executed an express written
waiver of such breach.

SERVICING, POWER OF ATTORNEY
----------------------------
9.1 So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred, Seller shall, at
its cost and expense, enter into and maintain, for so long as the Seller's
Obligations and/or the Debtor Obligations remain unpaid and unperformed, a
Servicing Agreement with a servicing entity selected by Seller and approved by
UJB ("Servicing Agent") for the Paper purchased by UJB hereunder. The Servicing
Agent shall be responsible for all billing, collecting and servicing with
respect to the Paper. Seller shall be permitted to replace a Servicing Agent
with a substitute Servicing Agent who shall assume the duties and
responsibilities of the Servicing Agent being replaced, provided UJB receives
prior written notice of any such requested substitution and approves of the
replacement Servicing Agreement and the replacement Servicing Agent, in writing,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Servicing
Agent shall acknowledge, and the Servicing Agreement shall expressly provide,
that upon an Event of Default, if so requested by UJB, the Servicing Agent shall
continue to service Paper on the same
19
terms and conditions as set forth in the Servicing Agreement entered into with
Seller or pursuant to the terms of a new Servicing Agreement to be entered into
with UJB, which terms shall be substantially similar to the terms of the
Servicing Agreement then existing between the Servicing Agent and the Seller.
UJB shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary of the Servicing Agreement
with respect to the Paper purchased hereunder.
9.2 In performing its duties under this Section IX, the Servicing Agent
shall be an independent contractor of the Seller and shall not be an agent of
UJB. Neither the Servicing Agreement, nor this Agreement shall be construed to
create a partnership or joint venture between the parties.
9.3 Until termination of the servicing under the Servicing Agreement,
Seller shall cause the Servicing Agent to allow representatives of UJB access,
at the Servicing Agent's premises during normal business hours and on reasonable
advance notice, to the records of the Servicing Agent or the Seller relating to
the Paper and shall, upon reasonable advance notice, make available to UJB's
representatives at the Servicing Agent's premises, employees of the Servicing
Agent who are familiar with the Paper and the servicing procedures relating
thereto.
9.4 Neither the Servicing Agent or the Seller shall amend or modify any
material term of any Paper without the prior written consent of UJB.

9.6 All funds collected by the Servicing Agent in respect of the Paper and
Equipment shall be remitted to Seller, except as otherwise provided in Section
2.7 above.
9.7 Within ten days of the end of each calendar month, the Servicing Agent
or Seller shall deliver to UJB a receivable's aging report in form and substance
satisfactory to UJB with respect to collections during the immediately preceding
month together with such other servicing reports reasonably requested by UJB.
UJB shall have no obligation to pay or cause to be paid to Seller or reimburse
Seller with respect to any costs or expenses incurred by Seller or the Servicing
Agent in connection with the servicing contemplated hereunder.
9.8 Seller shall and hereby does indemnify, defend and hold UJB harmless
from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, expenses, including, but
not limited to reasonable attorney's fees, or other liabilities arising out of
or resulting from the failure of the Seller or the Servicing Agent to service
the Paper in accordance with this Section IX.
9.9 In the event UJB is dissatisfied for any reason, in its sole and
absolute discretion, with the then existing Servicing Agent (which determination
shall be made in the exercise of UJB's good faith and reasonable judgment), and
UJB shall have furnished thirty (30) days prior written notice to Seller of
UJB's dissatisfaction with the Servicing Agent (or one day's notice if any Event
of Default shall have occurred or be continuing), UJB shall have the right to
require
20
Seller to terminate the existing Servicing Agreement and to enter into a
substitute Servicing Agreement with another Servicing Agent acceptable to UJB or
to assume the obligations of servicing the Paper itself. In the event of any
such termination, Seller agrees to cooperate with UJB and the substitute
Servicing Agent in order to ensure an orderly transfer of the servicing to UJB
or a substitute Servicing Agent.
9.10 Should UJB elect to assume the servicing functions regarding the Paper
as herein provided, effective upon the date of termination of the servicing
pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, UJB shall have the sole and exclusive right
to collect and enforce payment of all Debtor Obligations with respect to, and
enforce all of the rights and remedies provided for in each Item of Paper.
9.11 Seller hereby constitutes and appoints UJB, its officers, employees
and any other designees, as Seller's attorney-in-fact, with full power of
substitution, to exercise in a lawful manner at any time, whether prior to or
after an Event of Default, any or all of the following powers which, being
coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until the Seller's obligations
and the Debtor obligations with respect to each Item of Paper have been paid in
full: (a) to demand, collect, receive, receipt, endorse, assign, deliver,
accept and give acquaintances for and deposit in the name of UJB or Seller, any
and all monies, checks, remittances and other instruments and documents relating
to each Item of Paper and the Equipment; (b) notify the Debtor under each Item
of Paper of the assignment of the respective Paper and UJB's interest therein
including its security interest in the Equipment; (c) to notify each Debtor to
make payments under each Item of Paper directly to UJB; (d) to take or bring in
the name of UJB or Seller, all steps, actions, suits or proceedings, or to file
any claim or to make any settlement, compromise or discharge, or to extend the
times of any payments, release any party or substitute another as Debtor, deemed
by UJB necessary or desirable to enforce its rights in any Item of Paper, or to
effect collection of the Seller's Obligations and/or Debtor Obligations or to
protect, preserve, maintain or enforce UJB's security interest in the
Collateral; (e) to maintain, repair, protect or preserve the Equipment and its
interest in the Collateral, including without limitation, the payment of debts
of the Seller or the Debtor which might, in UJB's sole and absolute discretion,
impair the Collateral or UJB's security interest therein; (f) to purchase
insurance on the Collateral and pay taxes or assessments thereon, and the sums
so expended by UJB shall be secured by the Collateral, shall be added to the
amount of Seller's Obligations and/or the Debtor Obligations, as the case may
be, and shall be payable on demand with interest at the rate of 18% per annum
from the date expended by UJB until repaid by the Seller or the Debtor; (g) to
execute and file in Seller's name and on its behalf any Financing Statements,
assignments, continuations or amendments thereto with respect to UJB's interest
in any Paper and security interest in the Collateral, at the cost and expense of
the Seller; and (h) to do any and all things necessary or proper to carry out
the intent of this Agreement and to perfect the lien and rights of UJB created
under this Agreement.
9.12 From and after an Event of Default, at UJB's sole discretion, UJB
shall be authorized to ( and Seller shall upon request of UJB) notify postal
authorities to deliver all mail, correspondence, or parcels addressed to Seller
relating to the Paper and the Collateral to UJB at such address as UJB may
direct and in connection therewith, to receive, open and dispose of all
21
mail addressed to Seller relating to the Paper and the Collateral and to take
therefrom any proceeds of the Paper or the Collateral assigned or pledged to UJB
and to notify post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such
mail addressed to Seller to such address as UJB shall designate.
9.13 UJB shall not be obligated to do any of the acts or exercise any of
the powers hereinabove authorized, but if UJB elects to do any such act or
exercise any such power, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually
receives as a result of such exercise of such power, and it shall not be liable
or responsible to Seller for any acts or omissions nor for any error in judgment
or mistake of law or fact, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of UJB.
X

particular any of its obligations, covenants, terms or provisions contained in
any Item of Paper, this Agreement or any of the other Sale Documents, provided,

REPURCHASE OF PAPER
-------------------
11.1 Upon the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default, and
which Event of Default shall remain uncured for a period of ten (10) days after
notice thereof by UJB to Seller, Seller agrees to, immediately upon UJB's
demand, repurchase any one or more Items of Paper or all of the Paper purchased
by UJB hereunder (whether delinquent or not) for an amount equal to the sum of:
(a) the then unpaid balance of rental payments due and to become due under each
Item of Paper to which such repurchase demand has been made, each discounted
using the Rule of 78s rebate method; (b) all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by UJB relating to each such Item of Paper and the Equipment covered
thereby (including without limitation) the costs and expenses for the
maintenance, repair, protection and preservation of the Equipment and all
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with defending or
enforcing UJB's rights and remedies under this Agreement, under such Paper and
the Equipment, or otherwise; (c) all advance rentals and other fees paid to
Seller with respect to each Item of Paper; and (d) interest at the rate of 18%
per annum on the amount determined under Section 11.1 (a), (b) and (c) above,
from the date of demand until the date paid in full, or at the highest rate of
interest permitted by applicable law, whichever is less (such sum hereinafter
being referred to collectively as the "Repurchase Price"). Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary if an Event of Default shall occur or
be continuing, and said Event of Default specifically relates to an Item of
Paper or Items of Paper, Seller shall not be required to repurchase all of the
Paper purchased by
23
UJB hereunder, but only that Item of Paper of those Items of Paper to which such
Event of Default relates.
11.2. If any default or breach under any Item of Paper, for any reason
whatsoever, shall occur and continue unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days
("Defaulted Paper"), then with respect to such Defaulted Paper, Seller shall,
immediately upon UJB's request, and at UJB's sole discretion, promptly (and in
no event later than thirty (30) days after written demand from UJB) either: (a)
replace the Defaulted Paper with an acceptable substitute or replacement Item of
Paper ("Replacement Paper") by assigning to UJB such Replacement Paper in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement in exchange for such Defaulted
Paper; or (b) repurchase the Defaulted Paper for the Repurchase Price. The
determination of what constitutes acceptable Replacement Paper shall be
determined in UJB's sole and absolute discretion.
11.3 If, with the consent of UJB, a Debtor exercises an option to repay
his obligations under an Item of Paper or to purchase the Equipment for an
amount that is less than the Repurchase Price for such Paper at the time of
exercise of such option, Seller agrees to either: (a) pay UJB on demand the
difference between such amount paid and the Repurchase Price for such Paper; or
(b) furnish to UJB acceptable Replacement Paper, at UJB's option.
11.4 Upon payment to UJB of the Repurchase Price with respect to an Item
of Paper in accordance with Sections 11.1 and 11.2 above, and provided no Event
of Default has occurred or is continuing hereunder, UJB shall terminate its
interests in said Item of Paper and its security interest in the related
Collateral, and shall assign to Seller all of UJB's rights, title and interest
in and to that particular Item of Paper, without recourse and without any
representations or warranties, express or implied, at Seller's cost and expense.
11.5 In the event that, upon payment of all amounts to be paid to UJB
under an Item of Paper, UJB is unable to locate the Seller (for the purpose of
re-assigning the Paper to Seller) by sending a notice to Seller at its address
for notices set forth in this Agreement, Seller hereby irrevocably authorizes
and appoints UJB (in Seller's name or UJB's name or both, as UJB shall in its
sole discretion determine) Seller's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to deliver
to the Debtor under such Paper: (a) a xxxx of sale for the Equipment covered by
such Paper, whether or not such Debtor has an option to purchase the Equipment
and for such consideration (or for no consideration) and on such other terms as
UJB shall in UJB's discretion determine (any consideration received to be
retained by UJB), and (b) a UCC termination statement terminating the filing of
any Financing Statements filed by Seller with respect to the Equipment. The
foregoing powers are coupled with an interest and shall not be affected by
Seller's dissolution, reorganization or any merger and shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
11.6 No delay on the part of UJB in exercising any rights hereunder or
under any Item of Paper, nor in taking any action to collect or enforce payment
of any Item of Paper or with respect to its right to realize on any related item
of Equipment, shall operate as a waiver of any such rights or in any manner
prejudice UJB's rights against Seller hereunder. UJB shall be under no duty to
notify Seller of any default by any Debtor under the terms and conditions of the
Paper, except as herein set forth.
24
11.7 UJB may, without prejudice to any claim against Seller hereunder, at
any time, or from time to time, in UJB's sole discretion and without notice to
Seller: (a) extend or change the time for payment, and the manner, place or
terms of payment of any Item of Paper; (b) exchange, release or surrender all or
any collateral security which UJB may at any time hold in connection with any
Item of Paper; (c) sell any Equipment held by UJB at public or private sale
and/or purchase said Equipment at such sale; and (d) settle or compromise with
any Debtor, any Guarantor or any Pledgor or subordinate to the payment of any
such Paper of any Debtor, any Guarantor or any Pledgor, to the payment of any
other debt which may be owing to UJB. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, UJB shall not take any of the actions noted in this Section
11.7 with respect to any Item of Paper unless the Debtor is in default
thereunder and said Item of Paper has not been replaced pursuant to Section 11.2
above or if an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.
11.8 Until repurchased by Seller, UJB may continue to collect all sums
due under the Paper. UJB shall at all times have the right to realize upon any
collateral security relating to any Defaulted Paper and Seller's obligation to
repurchase any such Defaulted Paper shall survive any such sale of the
Collateral, if any.
11.9 In the event that any claim, counterclaim, crossclaim or defense is
asserted by any Debtor, any Guarantor or Pledgor, or any other person or entity
claiming by or through said Debtor, Guarantor or Pledgor, whether in a judicial
proceeding, bankruptcy or by notice to UJB, the Servicing Agent or the Seller of
nonpayment of an Item of Paper as a result of such claim or defense, alleging
breach of warranty, breach of contract, violation of any federal, state or local
statute, rule or regulation, or any other claim, counterclaim, crossclaim or
defense relating to any Item of Paper or the Equipment, or otherwise, Seller
agrees to repurchase any such Item of Paper so affected for the Repurchase Price
within fifteen (15) days of written demand from UJB. Seller shall continue to
defend and indemnify UJB against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability,
injury or expense, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, by
reason of any such claim, counterclaim, crossclaim or defense.
XII
INDEMNIFICATION
---------------
12.1 Seller hereby indemnifies and holds UJB harmless from and against
any claim, suit, action, proceeding (formal or informal), investigation,
judgment, loss, damage, liability, expense, including without limitation,
attorney's fees and other legal expenses as and when incurred by UJB arising out
of or based upon: (a) breach by Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant
or other agreement contained in this Agreement, in any Assignment or any of the
other Sale Documents (including without limitation) any failure to pay any
sales, use or similar tax with respect to any Item of Paper or the equipment
covered thereby; (b) any loss or damage to property, person, services or
equipment resulting from or in connection with the use
25
of any Equipment; and (c) any default by Seller under any Item of Paper or in
the performance of any of its obligations thereunder or hereunder.
12.2 If Seller fails to perform hereunder or under any Assignment or Item
of Paper or any other Loan Document, then, in addition to any other rights UJB
may have, UJB may, in its sole and absolute discretion, (but need not) perform
thereunder on Seller's behalf, and in that event, Seller shall pay UJB, on
demand, all costs and expenses incurred by UJB with interest at the rate of 18%
per annum or the highest rate permissible under applicable law, whichever is
less.
XIII
REMEDIES UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT
---------------------------------------------------
13.1 In addition to Seller's obligation to repurchase the Paper more
particularly set forth in Section XI above, upon the occurrence or continuation
of any Event of Default, or should Seller fail to pay the Repurchase Price
within thirty (30) days after written request therefor as required pursuant to
Section 11.2 above, UJB shall have the following additional rights and remedies
(to the extent permitted by law) which, shall be in addition to all of the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC in the applicable
jurisdiction and other applicable law, all such rights and remedies being
cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable alternatively, successively or
concurrently:
(a) to declare all of Seller's Obligations to be immediately due
and payable, to prosecute any action, suit or proceeding to enforce any or all
of the rights of UJB pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the other
Sale Documents, or the specific performance of any covenant or other provision
contained herein or any other document or instrument delivered in connection
with or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or to enforce payment of
such Repurchase Price;
(b) with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of
others, to enter upon any premises under the control of Seller in which the
Equipment covered by an Item of Paper may be located, and, without resistance or
interference by Seller, take possession of the Equipment, and/or dispose of any
of the Equipment on the premises, and/or require Seller to assemble or make
available to UJB at the expense of Seller, any of the Equipment at any place and
time designated by UJB which is reasonably convenient to both parties, and/or
sell or resell or lease, assign or deliver, grant options for or otherwise
dispose of any of the Equipment in its then condition or following any
commercially reasonable preparation or processing, at one or more public or
private sales, upon at least ten (10) days notice to Seller (which notice Seller
acknowledges is reasonable), upon any commercially reasonable terms at the
place(s) and time(s) and to the person(s) as UJB deems best; UJB may buy any of
the Equipment at any public sale and, if any of the Equipment is of a type
customarily sold in a recognized market or is of the type which is the subject
of widely distributed standard price quotations, UJB may buy the Equipment at
private sale, free of any equity or interest of Seller, which Seller hereby
waives.
26
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, UJB shall have no
obligation to take possession of all or any of the Equipment;
(c) UJB may apply the cash proceeds actually received from any sale
or any disposition of the Equipment related to any Item of Paper to the expenses
of retaking, holding, storing, preparing for sale, selling, leasing and the
like, to attorneys' fees and all legal, travel and other expenses which may be
incurred by UJB in attempting to collect such Repurchase Price or enforce this
Agreement or to realize upon any Collateral, or in the prosecution or defense of
any action or proceeding related to this Agreement and any of the other Sale
Documents and then to such Repurchase Price and Seller shall remain liable for
and will pay UJB on demand any deficiency; and
(d) Seller acknowledges that its right to have the Equipment
returned to it pursuant to an Item of Paper and/or any claim or interest in an
Item of Paper and/or the Equipment or the residual value thereof shall be
automatically terminated and of no further force and effect in the event that
UJB exercises its rights and remedies as against said Item of Paper and/or the
Equipment as herein or therein provided, to the extent of the Repurchase Price
thereof.
13.2 In the event the Debtor under an Item of Paper fails to pay any of
the Debtor Obligations in respect to the Paper when due and payable pursuant to
the provisions of the Paper, or any other default shall occur under an Item of
Paper, UJB shall have (in addition to all of its rights and remedies against the
Debtor) all of its rights and remedies of a secured party pursuant to the UCC
and any other applicable law in respect of the Equipment, whether the security
interest in such Equipment is created pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement or the Paper, and the provisions of Sections 13.1 (b), (c) and (d)
hereof shall also apply to the exercise of its rights and remedies, except that
the enforcement of such provisions, as against the Debtor, shall be at the
expense of Debtor.
13.3 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, UJB may also, with or
without proceeding with such sale or foreclosure of any Collateral or demanding
payment of the Seller's Obligations, without notice terminate further
performance under this Agreement or any of the other Sale Documents or exercise
all rights granted in any other agreement or agreements between UJB and Seller
without further liability or obligation by UJB. Neither such termination, nor
the termination of this Agreement by lapse of time, the giving of notice or
otherwise, shall absolve, release or otherwise affect the liability of Seller in
respect to transactions had prior to such termination, nor affect any of the
liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies of UJB, but they shall,
in all events, continue until all Seller's Obligations are satisfied. Without in
anyway limiting the generality of the foregoing rights, at UJB's sole and
absolute discretion, UJB shall have no further obligation under the terms of the
Term Sheet and/or this Agreement, or otherwise, to purchase any new or
additional Paper from Seller, nor to purchase any Paper that UJB may have
previously offered to purchase, anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. Should UJB exercise the rights contained herein, UJB shall not,
in any manner, be liable to Seller for any failure to purchase or continue to
purchase an Item of Paper.
27
13.4 UJB shall have the right to exercise any rights or take any of the
remedies otherwise available to it under the Sale Documents or as a matter of
law or equity.
13.5 Immediately, and without notice or other action, UJB shall have the
right to set-off any money owed by UJB in any capacity to the Seller against any
of the Seller's liability to UJB, whether due or not, and UJB shall be deemed to
have exercised such right of set-off and to have made a charge against any such
money immediately upon the occurrence of such Event of Default, even though the
actual book entries may be made at some time subsequent thereto.
13.6 No remedy referred to herein is intended to be exclusive, but each
shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to above or
otherwise available to UJB at law or in equity. No express or implied waiver by
UJB of any Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver
of any future or subsequent Event of Default. The failure or delay of UJB in
exercising any rights granted it hereunder upon any occurrence of any of the
contingencies set forth herein shall not constitute a waiver of any such right
upon the continuation or recurrence of any such contingencies or similar
contingencies and any single or partial exercise of any particular right by UJB
shall not exhaust the same or constitute a waiver of any other right provided
herein. The Events of Default and remedies thereon are not restrictive of and
shall be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies of UJB provided
for by this Agreement, the other Sale Documents and applicable law.
13.7 SELLER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER SALE DOCUMENTS OR OTHER AGREEMENTS OR
INSTRUMENTS BETWEEN SELLER AND UJB. _________
13.8 UJB shall be under no obligation whatsoever to proceed first against
any Item of Paper or the Collateral before proceeding against any other Item of
Paper or any other Collateral. It is expressly understood and agreed that all
of the Collateral stands as equal security for all of Seller's Obligations, and
that UJB shall have the right to proceed against any or all of the Collateral in
any order, or simultaneously, as in its sole and absolute discretion it shall
determine. It is further understood and agreed that UJB shall have the right,
in its sole and absolute discretion, to sell any or all of the Collateral in any
order or simultaneously.
XIV
ULTIMATE NET LOSS
-----------------
14.1 Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing,
Seller's obligation to repurchase any Paper pursuant to Section 11.2 above shall
not exceed 10% of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by UJB to Seller hereunder
for all Paper purchased by UJB remaining on UJB's portfolio (the "Ultimate Net
Loss"). The Ultimate Net Loss shall increase as and when UJB purchases Items of
Paper or accepts Replacement Paper hereunder. The Ultimate Net Loss shall
decrease only as, when and if an Item of Paper is repurchased by Seller pursuant
28
to Section 11.2 above; the amount of any such decrease in the Ultimate Net Loss
shall be equal to the Purchase Price of that particular Item of Paper so
repurchased.
14.2 The Ultimate Net Loss, as used in this Agreement, shall only apply
to Paper repurchased pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof, and shall expressly
exclude: (a) Paper repurchased pursuant to Sections 11.1 and 11.3 above; (b)
Paper for which Replacement Paper has been accepted in substitution of Defaulted
Paper pursuant to Section 11.2 above, (c) Paper which Seller shall have
purchased from UJB without prior request or demand by UJB for such repurchase;
(d) Paper which Seller shall have failed to repurchase in accordance with
Sections 11.1 and 11.2 hereof; (e) Paper relating to Unperfected Equipment if
the failure to file Financing Statements is the proximate cause of the loss; and
(f) Paper relating to Uninsured Equipment if the failure to obtain and maintain
insurance coverage with respect to that item of Equipment is the proximate cause
of the loss.
14.3 For purposes of this Agreement, the amount to be charged against the
Ultimate Net Loss for each affected Item of Paper ("Charge(s)") shall be the
Repurchase Price thereof plus the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses including,
without limitation, refurbishing costs and costs of transportation incurred by
Seller in connection with any recoveries or repossessions and/or the liquidation
by it of such Paper and Equipment covered thereby, minus the total amount
realized by Seller from all sources upon the collection and/or liquidation of
such Paper and the Equipment relating thereto, including, without limitation,
any resale or release of the Equipment as to which Seller or any affiliate of
Seller had acquired title in default proceedings under the Paper or in
satisfaction of the Debtor Obligations hereunder and/or recoveries from any
party liable on such Paper and from the sale, lease or other disposition of the
Equipment under such Paper.
14.4 In the event the Seller shall have paid the Repurchase Price to UJB
pursuant to Section 11.2 above, and at that xxxx Xxxxxx shall not have
liquidated the Equipment and/or recovered any sums due from the Debtor, any
Guarantor or Pledgor in regard to an Item of Paper pursuant to Section 14.3
above, but thereafter recovers all or a portion of the Charge from any parties
liable on the Paper or as a result of a liquidation or disposition of the
Equipment, the amount so recovered shall reduce the amount of any previous
Charge(s), as though no loss had been incurred by Seller to that extent.
14.5 Seller agrees to diligently pursue its rights and remedies with
respect to the Paper and the Equipment and to take all necessary and appropriate
action to recover the Charge from all parties liable on the Paper repurchased by
it pursuant to Section 11.2 of this Agreement and from the Equipment covered
thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller will refurbish the
Equipment, as necessary, sell or lease the same on a priority basis vis-a-vis
other equipment in its possession or under its control, and use its best efforts
to obtain the highest price possible.
14.6 Seller shall keep separate records with respect to Paper purchased
by UJB, which shall include all amounts realized by Seller from the recovery of
sums due under the Paper so repurchased and/or from the liquidation or
disposition of the Equipment and all costs and expenses incurred in connection
therewith. Upon request, Seller shall furnish a written report to
29
UJB, within thirty (30) days of any such request, showing the amount of out-of-
pocket expenses incurred in connection with any recoveries made by Seller in
connection with the collection and/or liquidation of such Paper and the amounts
realized by Seller from all sources upon the collection and/or liquidation of
such Paper and/or the Equipment. UJB shall have the right, upon prior written
notice, to audit and make copies of the records of Seller with respect to such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred, recoveries made and amounts realized in respect
of such Paper and the Equipment.
14.7 At each anniversary date of this Agreement, so long as Seller's
Obligations and/or Debtor Obligations remain outstanding, the Charges made
against the Ultimate Net Loss for the prior twelve (12) month period shall be
reduced to zero (0) and Seller shall continue to fulfill its obligations under
Section XI hereof with respect to all Paper purchased hereunder, as though no
Charges were previously made against the Ultimate Net Loss. In the event that
the Charges during a particular twelve (12) month period equal the Ultimate Net
Loss, which is subject to change as herein provided, and provided no Event of
Default has occurred or is continuing, Seller shall not be required to make any
payment to UJB with respect to the Paper purchased hereunder pursuant to Section
11.2 above for the balance of that twelve (12) month period, except as otherwise
provided herein.
14.8 If and when the Charges shall equal or exceed (50%) percent of the
Ultimate Net Loss during any twelve (12) month period, so long as there remain
Debtor Obligations unpaid or unperformed, Seller shall not thereafter, without
the prior written consent of UJB, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed:
(a) Sell or lease any Equipment covered by Paper repurchased by
Seller for a price less than the Repurchase Price of such Item of Paper; or
(b) Compromise or settle the amount owing on any repurchased Paper
for an amount less than the Repurchase Price of such Paper.
If UJB fails to so consent within five business (5) days after its receipt of a
written request from Seller to:
(a) the sale of Equipment covered by such Paper at an offered price
less than the amount of the applicable Repurchase Price; or
(b) accept an offer from the Debtor under such Paper to pay, in
compromise or settlement, an amount less than such Repurchase Price (each such
offer being herein referred to as a "Close Out Offer"),
and Seller ultimately recovers less than the Close Out Offer with
respect to any such Item of Paper and/or from the Equipment, the difference
between the amount of the Close Out Offer and the amount actually recovered,
shall thereafter be added to the aggregate of the Charges upon receipt of
satisfactory documentation evidencing the amount actually recovered relating to
said Item of Paper or the Equipment.

XV
MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
15.1 UJB shall be entitled to its reasonable expenses incurred in the
enforcement or liquidation of any Seller's Obligations due hereunder, or for the
enforcement of payment of the Seller's Obligations, and those expenses shall,
without limitation, include reasonable attorneys' fees plus other legal costs
and expenses incurred. Seller agrees to pay all costs and expenses of UJB in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, and administration of this
Agreement, the other Sale Documents and other instruments and documents to be
executed contemporaneously herewith, including reasonable attorney's fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for UJB.
15.2 The Seller agrees that no delay on the part of UJB in exercising any
power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver or relinquishment of any such
power or right, nor preclude any further exercise thereof, or the exercise of
any other power or right. UJB shall not by any act or omission be deemed to
have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in
writing and signed by UJB, and then only to the extent set forth therein. A
waiver as to any one event shall in no way be construed as continuing or as
preventing the exercise of such rights or remedies by subsequent event.
15.3 Seller waives presentment, dishonor and notice of dishonor, protest
and notice of protest of any commercial papers at any time held by UJB on which
the Seller is in any way liable.
15.4 The provisions of this Agreement shall be in addition to those of
the other Sale Documents or other writings held by UJB relating to the Seller's
Obligations and the Debtor Obligations, all of which shall be construed as one
instrument. To the extent there is any conflict between the provisions of this
Agreement and any other Sale Documents, the terms of the agreement which affords
the greater protection to UJB shall control.
15.5 Seller consents to any extension, postponement of time of payment,
indulgence or to any substitution, exchange or release of Collateral and to any
addition to or release of, any party or persons primarily or secondarily liable,
or acceptance of partial payments of any Paper or other Collateral in the
settlement, compromising or adjustment thereof, provided, however, UJB shall not
compromise the amount due with respect to any Item of Paper unless Debtor is in
default thereunder and said Item of Paper has not been replaced pursuant to
Section 11.2 above or there has occurred or is continuing an Event of Default
hereunder.
15.6 All representations and warranties made herein or in any certificate
or instrument contemplated hereby shall survive any independent investigation
made by UJB in the execution and delivery of this Agreement, in said
certificates or instruments and shall continue so long as
31
any Seller's Obligations and Debtor's Obligations are outstanding and
unsatisfied, applicable statutes of limitation to the contrary, notwithstanding.
15.7 This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns.
15.8 The rights and remedies herein expressed to be vested in or
conferred upon UJB shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to and not in
substitution for or in derogation of the rights and remedies conferred by any
applicable law.
15.9 Nothing herein contained shall impose upon UJB any obligation to
enforce any terms, covenants or conditions contained herein. Failure of UJB, in
any one or more instances, to insist upon strict performance by the Seller or
any Debtor of any terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement and/or the
other Sale Documents or any Item of Paper, shall not be deemed to be a waiver or
relinquishment of any such terms, covenants and conditions.
15.10 This Agreement and all rights hereunder may be assigned or otherwise
transferred by UJB to anyone of its choosing.
15.11 This Agreement, the other Sale Documents and the rights of the
parties shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New
Jersey, without regard to principles of conflict or choices of law.
15.12 This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or changed
orally or by course of dealing between Seller and UJB, but only by an agreement
in writing duly executed on behalf of the party to whom enforcement of any such
waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.
15.13 If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application
thereof shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this
Agreement, or the application of such terms or provisions other than that which
is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term
and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
15.14 This Agreement shall be strictly for the benefit of the Seller and
shall not inure to the benefit of, nor be intended or construed to give any
third parties any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or through the
Seller, the relationship between UJB and the Seller being strictly a contractual
one evidencing a creditor-debtor relationship. Seller and UJB hereby expressly
disclaim the existence of any partnership, joint venture, employment or other
agency relationship between them by virtue of this Agreement.
15.15 Any notices under this Agreement shall be deemed duly given five (5)
