statement in order to perfect or protect the Secured Party's security interest.
The Secured Party shall not be obligated to perform any of such acts or to
exercise any of such powers, but if the Secured Party elects so to perform or
exercise, the Secured Party shall not be accountable for more than it actually
receives as a
-10-
result of such exercise of power, and shall not be responsible to Debtor except
for the Secured Party's actual willful misconduct. All powers conferred upon the
Secured Party by this Agreement, being coupled with an interest, shall be
irrevocable until terminated by a written instrument executed by a duly
authorized officer of the Secured Party and shall not be affected by any
disability or incapacity which the Debtor may suffer and shall survive the same.
The power of attorney conferred on the Secured Party pursuant to the provisions
of this Article 4 is provided solely to protect the interests of the Secured
Party and shall not impose any duty on the Secured Party to exercise any such
power, and neither the Secured Party nor such attorney-in-fact shall be liable
for any act, omission, error in judgment or mistake of law, except as the same
may result from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
ARTICLE 5. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Upon the occurrence of a default beyond the applicable notice and/or grace
periods, if any, under this Agreement or any of the other Lease Documents (each,
hereinafter referred to as an "Event of Default" hereunder), at the option of
the Secured Party, the Lease Obligations shall become immediately due and
payable by the Debtor; in addition to which, the Secured Party may exercise its
rights and remedies upon default, as set forth under this Agreement. The
occurrence of any such Event of Default shall also constitute, without notice or
demand, a default under all other Related Party Agreements.
ARTICLE 6. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
6.1 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time
thereafter, the Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies of a
secured party upon default under the UCC; in addition to which, the Secured
Party shall have all of the following rights and remedies: (a) to collect the
Receivables Collateral; (b) to take possession of the Collateral and to maintain
and to use the same at the Premises (or elsewhere) pending any disposition
thereof; (c) to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of any or all of the
Collateral in its then condition or following such preparation or processing as
the Secured Party deems advisable having due regard to compliance with any
statute or regulation which might affect, limit, or apply to the Secured Party's
disposition of the Collateral; and/or (d) to apply the Receivables Collateral,
or the proceeds of the Collateral,
-11-
towards (but not necessarily in complete satisfaction of) the Lease Obligations
in such order as the Secured Party may determine (in its sole and absolute
discretion). The Secured Party may conduct any such sale or other disposition of
the Collateral at the Premises (or elsewhere). Unless the Collateral is
perishable, threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily
sold on a recognized market (in which event the Secured Party shall give the
Debtor such notice as may be practicable under the circumstances), the Secured
Party shall give the Debtor at least the greater of the minimum notice required
by law or seven (7) days' prior written notice of the date, time and place of
any proposed public sale, and/or of the date after which any private sale or
other disposition of the Collateral may be made. The Secured Party may purchase
the Collateral, or any portion of it, at any public sale conducted pursuant to
this Agreement.
6.2 In connection with the Secured Party's exercise of the Secured
Party's Rights and Remedies, in accordance with and to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, the Secured Party may enter upon, occupy, and use
any premises owned or occupied by the Debtor, and may exclude the Debtor from
such premises or portion thereof as may have been so entered upon, occupied, or
used by the Secured Party. The Secured Party shall not be required to remove any
of the Collateral from any such premises upon the Secured Party's taking
possession thereof, and may render any Collateral unusable to the Debtor. In no
event shall the Secured Party be liable to the Debtor for use or occupancy by
the Secured Party of any premises pursuant to this Agreement, nor for any charge
(such as wages for the Debtor's employees and utilities) incurred in connection
with the Secured Party's exercise of the Secured Party's Rights and Remedies.
6.3 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Secured Party may
require the Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the
Secured Party at the Debtor's sole risk and expense at a place or places
designated by the Secured Party which are reasonably convenient to both the
Secured Party and the Debtor.
6.4 The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the
Secured Party hereunder and under the other Lease Documents (herein, the
"Secured Party's Rights and Remedies") shall be cumulative and not exclusive of
any rights or remedies which it otherwise may have. No delay or omission by
-12-
the Secured Party in exercising or enforcing any of the Secured Party's Rights
and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof. No waiver by the
Secured Party of any Event of Default shall operate as a waiver of any other
default hereunder or under any of the other Lease Documents. No exercise of any
of the Secured Party's Rights and Remedies and no other agreement or transaction
of whatever nature entered into between the Secured Party and the Debtor at any
time, shall preclude any other exercise of the Secured Party's Rights and
Remedies. No waiver by the Secured Party of any of the Secured Party's Rights
and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent
occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver. All of the Secured Party's
Rights and Remedies and all of the Secured Party's rights, remedies, powers,
privileges, and discretions under any Related Party Agreement are cumulative and
not alternative or exclusive and may be exercised by the Secured Party at such
time or times and in such order of preference as the Secured Party in its sole
discretion may determine.
ARTICLE 7. MISCELLANEOUS

protection of the Collateral beyond the safe custody of such of the Collateral
as may come into the possession of the Secured Party and shall have no duty as

pertaining thereto. The Secured Party's Rights and Remedies may be exercised

taken or omitted by the Secured Party in reliance hereon, and any requirement
that the Secured Party be diligent or prompt in making demands hereunder, giving
notice of any default by a Liable Person or asserting any other right of the
Secured Party hereunder. The Debtor also irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, all defenses which at any time may be available in
respect of the Debtor's obligations hereunder by virtue of any homestead
exemption, statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other
similar law now or hereafter in effect.
7.6 As long as the Lease Obligations remain unpaid or undischarged, the
Debtor will not, by paying any sum recoverable hereunder (whether or not
demanded by the Secured Party) or by any means or on any other ground, claim any
set-off or counterclaim against any Liable Person in respect of any liability of
the Debtor to such Liable Person or, in proceedings under the bankruptcy or
other similar laws of the United States, any state or any other jurisdiction or
any insolvency proceedings of any nature, prove in competition with the Secured
Party in respect of any payment hereunder or be entitled to have the benefit of
any counterclaim or proof of claim or dividend or payment by or on behalf of any
Liable Person or the benefit of
-14-
any other security for any Liability which, now or hereafter, the Secured Party
may hold or in which it may have any share.
7.7 The Debtor shall pay, on demand, all costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) now or hereafter reasonably

limitation, the exercise of any of the Secured Party's Rights and Remedies)
and/or (b) on account of the Secured Party's relationship with any member of the

the Debtor and the Secured Party shall be determined, in accordance with the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, except (a) that the laws of the state
where the Collateral is located shall govern this Agreement to the extent
necessary to perfect and/or enforce the Liens created by this Agreement and to
the extent necessary to obtain the benefit of the rights and remedies set forth
herein with respect to the Collateral and (b) for procedural requirements which
must be governed by the laws of the state in which the Collateral is located. To
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Debtor hereby submits to the
jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United
States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, as well as to the
jurisdiction of all courts from which an appeal may be taken from the aforesaid
