of the remedies under the GE Leases. Defendants Grant Goodman and Teri Goodman are therefore liable to GE for such charges pursuant to the terms of the GE Leases and the G and T Guarantees. 57. The basis for this Court's jurisdiction is diversity of citizenship pursuant to 28

because all payments due under Citicapital Technology Lease Nos. 121, 122, 468 and 548 were not made; and (b) the guaranty of Grant Goodman and Teri Goodman is in default because all payments due under General Electric Lease Nos. 451, 452, 453, and 7004 were not made. 3. 4. The Court further concludes that Plaintiffs have proven their damages. The Court further concludes that: (a) Citicapital Technology Lease Nos. 121, 122,
468 and 548 are valid and enforceable contracts that must be given full force and effect; (b) General Electric Lease Nos. 451, 452, 453, and 7004 are valid and enforceable contracts that must be given full force and effect; (c) the Grant Goodman guarantees of Citicapital Technology Lease Nos. 121, 122, 468 and 548 are valid and enforceable contracts that must be given full force and effect; and (d) the Grant Goodman and Teri Goodman guarantees of General Electric
