petition for reorganization or an arrangement); or if a receiver is appointed
for Lessee and its property; or if Lessee commits an act of bankruptcy, becomes
insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or offers a
composition or extension of any of its indebtedness; or if Lessee, without
Lessor's prior consent, attempts to alter, modify, translate, decompile,
disassemble, copy, sell, trade, transfer, encumber, pledge, sublease or in any
way dispose of the Software, then Lessor or its agents shall have the right to
exercise any one or more of the following remedies:

this Lease and shall not relieve Lessee of its original obligations under this
Lease unless Lessor expressly so notifies Lessee in writing.
Additionally, Lessor shall have upon default such other and further remedies
and rights as may be available at law by reason of the Lessee's default.

whatsoever and no loss, theft, damage or destruction of the Software shall
relieve Lessee of any obligations under this Lease and this Lease shall remain
in full force and effect. Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor in writing of any
such loss, theft, damage or destruction of the Software.
