The Lease Agreement may not be altered or modified except by written agreement of Lessor and Lessee. Any other representations or warranties made by any person, including employees or other agents of Lessor, that are inconsistent with the Lease Agreement are not binding upon Lessor. If any model or sample were shown to Lessee, such model or sample was used merely to illustrate the general type and quality of goods and not to represent that the Equipment would necessarily conform to the model or sample. 

19. Successors and Assigns. Lessee may not transfer, sell, assign, pledge or encumber either the Equipment or any rights under this Lease Agreement without Lessor’s prior written consent. Lessee agrees that Lessor may sell, assign or transfer the Lease Agreement, and the new owner will have the same rights and benefits Lessor now has and will not have to perform any of Lessor’s obligations, and the rights of the new owner will not be subject to any claims, defenses, or setoffs that Lessee may have against Lessor or the Equipment supplier. Any action by Lessee against Lessor must be commenced within one year after the cause of action arises or be forever barred. Lessor may assign its obligations and rights under this Lease Agreement in its sole discretion.

Lessee irrevocably submits and agrees to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the state of Tennessee in any action, suit or proceeding related to, or in connection with, the Lease Agreement and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee waives and agrees not to assert as a defense in any such action, suit or proceeding any claim (i) that Lessor is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Tennessee; (ii) that the venue of the action, suit or proceeding is improper; (iii) that the action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum; or (iv) that the subject matter of the Lease Agreement may not be enforced in or by the state or federal courts of the state of Tennessee. Without prejudice to any other mode of service, Buyer consents to service of process relating to any such proceedings by personal or prepaid mailing (air mail if international) in registered or certified form a copy of the process to Lessee at the address set forth in Section 27. 

23. Waiver. The waiver by Lessor of any breach by Lessee of any provision of the Lease Agreement may not be construed to be either a waiver of the provision itself as to subsequent application or any other provision of the Lease Agreement. 

24. Severability. If any provision of the Lease Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law or public policy, the remaining provisions of the Lease Agreement remain in full force and effect.
