filed in such action.
(g) Lessor may notify Lessee's account debtors with respect to
any Accounts to make payment directly to Lessor or to one or more

by Lessee (and is appointed attorney-in-fact of Lessee) to sign and
endorse Lessee's name upon any such notice to account debtors and upon
any check, draft, money order or other form of payment of any Account,
and, after applying the same first to expenses of collection and
enforcement of the Accounts, including attorneys' fees, the Lessor may
apply the same to reduce the Lease Obligations in such order as Lessor
shall elect. Lessor shall not be liable for failure to collect or to
enforce any Accounts or for any action or omission on the part Lessor,
its officers, agents and employees in enforcing such Accounts.
