Lessee hereby waives any and all damages occasioned by such retaking. Lessee shall also be liable for and shall pay to Lessor (i) all expense incurred by Lessor in connection with the enforcement of any Lessor’s remedies, including all expenses of repossessing, storing, shipping, repairing and selling the Equipment, and (ii) Lessor’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

All remedies of Lessor hereunder are cumulative, are in addition to any other remedies provided for by law, and may, to the extent permitted by law, be exercised concurrently or separately. The exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed to be an election of such remedy or to preclude the exercise of any other remedy. No failure on the part of the Lessor to exercise and no delay in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or modify the terms of this Lease. A waiver of default shall not be a waiver of any other or subsequent default. Lessor’s recovery hereunder shall in no event exceed the maximum recovery permitted by law.

No agreements or understanding shall be binding on the parties hereto unless set forth in writing and signed by the parties. Time is of the essence in this Lease. No waiver by Lessor of any breach or default shall constitute a waiver of any additional or subsequent breach or default by Lessor nor shall it be a waiver of any of Lessor’s rights. Any provision of this Lease which for any reason may be held unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Lease, and any such unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction.
