<br />approval or consent, and such order, judgment or decree shall continue unstayed and in effect for any period of 60 consecutive days.
<br />The foregoing provisions of Section 13.01 are subject to the following limitation: if by reason of force maieure Purchaser is unable in whole or
<br />in part to perform its agreements under this Agreement and the Property Schedule (other than the obligations on the part of Purchaser contained in
<br />Article VI hereof) Purchaser shall not be in default during the continuance of such inability. The term "force maieure" as used herein shall mean the
<br />following: acts of God; strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances; acts of public enemies; orders or restraints of any kind of the government of the
<br />United States or of the State or any of their departments, agencies or officials, or any civil or military authority; insurrections, riots, landslides,
<br />earthquakes, fires, storms, droughts, floods, explosions, breakage or accident to machinery, transmission pipes or canals; or any other cause or event
<br />not reasonably within the control of Purchaser.
<br />13.02 Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default exists with respect to a Property Schedule, Seller shall have the right, at its sole
<br />option without any further demand or notice, to take one or any combination of the following remedial steps:
<br />(a) Without terminating the Property Schedule, and by written notice to Purchaser, Seller may declare all Installment Payments and other
<br />amounts payable by Purchaser thereunder to the end of the then -current budget year of Purchaser to be due, including without limitation
<br />delinquent Installment Payments under the Property Schedule from prior budget years, and such amounts shall thereafter bear interest
<br />at the rate of 12% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less;
<br />(b) Seller may terminate the Property Schedule, and by written notice to Purchaser, Seller may accelerate the principal component of all
<br />outstanding Installment Payments, in which case Purchaser shall pay to Seller a sum sufficient to defease the Property Schedule under
<br />Section 6.05, together with interest on such sum from the date of acceleration until so paid at the rate of 12% per annum or the
<br />maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, and to pay all other sums due under the Property Schedule;
<br />(c) Seller may terminate the Property Schedule, may enter the premises where the Property subject to the Property Schedule is located and
<br />retake possession of the Property, or require Purchaser, at Purchaser's expense, to promptly return any or all of the Property to the
<br />possession of Seller at such place within the United States as Seller shall specify, and Seller may thereafter dispose of the Property in
<br />accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State, continuing to hold Purchaser liable for any deficiency
<br />and all costs and expenses incurred by Seller in exercising its remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses
<br />of taking possession, removing, storing and reconditioning the Property, and including, without limitation, all brokerage and attorneys
<br />fees;
<br />(d) By written notice to any escrow agent who is holding proceeds of the Property Schedule, Seller may instruct such escrow agent to
<br />release all such proceeds and any earnings thereon to Seller, such sums to be credited to payment of Purchaser's obligations under the
<br />Property Schedule;
<br />(e) Seller may take any action, at law or in equity, that is permitted by applicable law and that may appear necessary or desirable to enforce
<br />or to protect any of its rights under the Property Schedule and this Agreement.
<br />13.03 No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Seller is intended to be exclusive and every such remedy shall be
<br />cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or
<br />omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but
<br />any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle Seller to exercise any
<br />remedy reserved to it in this Article it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required in this Article.
<br />13.04 Costs and Attorney Fees. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Purchaser in the performance of any term of this Agreement,
<br />Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller or reimburse Seller for, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, all of Seller's costs of collection, including
<br />reasonable attorney fees, whether or not suit or action is filed thereon. Any such costs shall be immediately due and payable upon written notice and
<br />demand given to Purchaser, shall be secured by this Agreement until paid and shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum or the maximum
<br />amount permitted by law, whichever is less. In the event suit or action is instituted to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party
<br />shall be entitled to recover from the other party such sum as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys' fees at trial or on appeal of such suit or
<br />action or in any bankruptcy proceeding, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

<br />14.01 Notices. All notices, certificates or other communications hereunder shall be sufficiently given and shall be deemed given when delivered or
<br />mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, to the parties hereto at the addresses specified on the first page of this Agreement (or at such other address
<br />as either party hereto shall designate in writing to the other for notices to such party), to any assignee at its address as it appears on the registration
<br />books maintained by Purchaser.
<br />14.02 Arbitrage Certificates. Unless a separate Arbitrage Certificate is delivered on the Commencement Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to
<br />make the following representations and covenants as of the Commencement Date for each Property Schedule:
<br />(a) The estimated total costs, including taxes, freight, installation, cost of issuance, of the Property under the Property Schedule will not be
<br />less than the total principal amount of the Installment Payments.
