EXHIBIT 10.9
MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT
MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT (the "Master Lease") dated September 22, 1998 by and
between COMDISCO, INC. ("Lessor") and CHORUM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ("Lessee").
IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual agreements described below, the parties agree as
follows (all capitalized terms are defined in Section 14.18):
1. Property Leased.
Lessor leases to Lessee all of the Equipment described on each Summary Equipment
Schedule. In the event of a conflict, the terms of the applicable Schedule
prevail over this Master Lease.
2. Term.
On the Commencement Date, Lessee will be deemed to accept the Equipment, will be
bound to its rental obligations for each item of Equipment and the term of a
Summary Equipment Schedule will begin and continue through the Initial Term and
thereafter until terminated by either party upon prior written notice received
during the Notice Period. No termination may be effective prior to the
expiration of the Initial Term.
3. Rent and Payment.
Rent is due and payable in advance on the first day of each Rent Interval at the
address specified in Lessor's invoice. Interim Rent is due and payable when
invoiced. If any payment is not made when due, Lessee will pay a Late Charge on
the overdue amount. Upon Lessee's execution of each Schedule, Lessee will pay
Lessor the Advance specified on the Schedule. The Advance will be credited
towards the final Rent payment if Lessee is not then in default. No interest
will be paid on the Advance.
4. Selection; Warranty and Disclaimer of Warranties.
4.1 Selection. Lessee acknowledges that it has selected the Equipment and
disclaims any reliance upon statements made by the Lessor, other than as set
forth in the Schedule.
4.2 Warranty and Disclaimer of Warranties. Lessor warrants to Lessee that, so
long as Lessee is not in default, Lessor will not disturb Lessee's quiet and
peaceful possession, and unrestricted use of the Equipment. To the extent
permitted by the manufacturer, Lessor assigns to Lessee during the term of the
Summary Equipment Schedule any manufacturer's warranties for the Equipment.
LESSOR MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE MERCHANTABILITY OF THE EQUIPMENT OR ITS
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Lessor is not responsible for any liability,
claim, loss, damage or expense of any kind (including strict liability in tort)
caused by the Equipment except for any loss or damage caused by the willful
misconduct or negligent acts of Lessor. In no event is Lessor responsible for
special, incidental or consequential damages.
5. Title; Relocation or Sublease; and Assignment.
5.1 Title. Lessee holds the Equipment subject and subordinate to the rights of
the Owner, Lessor, any Assignee and any Secured Party. Lessee authorizes Lessor,
as Lessee's agent, and at Lessor's expense, to prepare, execute and file in
Lessee's name precautionary Uniform Commercial Code financing statements showing
the interest of the Owner, Lessor, and any Assignee or Secured Party in the
Equipment and to insert serial numbers in Summary Equipment Schedules as
appropriate. Lessee will, at its expense, keep the Equipment free and clear from
any liens or encumbrances of any kind (except any caused by Lessor) and will
indemnify and hold the Owner, Lessor, any Assignee and Secured Party harmless
from and against any loss caused by Lessee's failure to do so, except where such
is caused by Lessor.
5.2 Relocation or Sublease. Upon prior written notice, Lessee may relocate
Equipment to any location within the continental United States provided (i) the
Equipment will not be used by an entity exempt from federal income tax, and (ii)
all additional costs (including any administrative fees, additional taxes and
insurance coverage) are reconciled and promptly paid by Lessee.
Lessee may sublease the Equipment upon the reasonable consent of the Lessor and
the Secured Party. Such consent to sublease will be granted if: (i) Lessee meets
the relocation requirements set out above. (ii) the sublease is expressly
subject and subordinate to the terms of the Schedule, (iii) Lessee assigns its
rights in the sublease to Lessor and the Secured Party as additional collateral
and security, (iv) Lessee's obligation to maintain and insure the Equipment is
not altered, (v) all financing statements required to continue the Secured
Party's prior perfected security interest are filed, and (vi) Lessee executes
sublease documents acceptable to Lessor.
No relocation or sublease will relieve Lessee from any of its obligations under
this Master Lease and the relevant Schedule.
5.3 Assignment by Lessor. The terms and conditions of each Schedule have been
fixed by Lessor in order to permit Lessor to sell and/or assign or transfer its
interest or grant a security interest in each Schedule and/or the Equipment to a
Secured Party or Assignee. In that event, the term Lessor will mean the Assignee
and any Secured Party. However, any assignment, sale, or other transfer by
Lessor will not relieve Lessor of its obligations to Lessee and will not
materially change Lessee's duties or materially increase the burdens or risks
imposed on Lessee. The Lessee consents to and will acknowledge such assignments
in a written notice given to Lessee. Lessee also agrees that:
(a) The Secured Party will be entitled to exercise all of Lessor's rights,
but will not be obligated to perform any of the obligations of Lessor. The
Secured Party will not disturb Lessee's quiet and peaceful possession and
unrestricted use of the Equipment so long as Lessee is not in default and the
Secured Party continues to receive all Rent payable under the Schedule; and
(b) Lessee will pay all Rent and all other amounts payable to the Secured
Party, despite any defense or claim which it has against Lessor. Lessee reserves
its right to have recourse directly against Lessor for any defense or claim;
(c) Subject to and without impairment of Lessee's leasehold rights in the
Equipment, Lessee holds the Equipment for the Secured Party to the extent of the
Secured Party's rights in that Equipment.
6. Net Lease; Taxes and Fees.
6.1 Net Lease. Each Summary Equipment Schedule constitutes a net lease. Lessee's
obligation to pay Rent and all other amounts due hereunder is absolute and
unconditional and is not subject to any abatement, reduction, set-off, defense,
counterclaim, interruption, deferment or recoupment for any reason whatsoever.
6.2 Taxes and Fees. Lessee will pay when due or reimburse Lessor for all taxes,
fees or any other charges (together with any related interest or penalties not
arising from the negligence of Lessor) accrued for or arising during the term of
each Summary Equipment Schedule against Lessor, Lessee or the Equipment by any
governmental authority (except only Federal, state, local and franchise taxes on
the capital or the net income of Lessor). Lessor will file all personal property
tax returns for the Equipment and pay all such property taxes due. Lessee will
reimburse Lessor for property taxes within thirty (30) days of receipt of an
invoice.
7. Care, Use and Maintenance; Inspection by Lessor.
7.1 Care, Use and Maintenance. Lessee will maintain the Equipment in good
operating order and appearance, protect the Equipment from deterioration, other
than normal wear and tear, and will not use the Equipment for any purpose other
than that for which it was designed. If commercially available and considered
common business practice for each item of Equipment, Lessee will maintain in
force a standard maintenance contract with the manufacturer of the Equipment, or
another party acceptable to Lessor, and will provide Lessor with a complete copy
of that contract. If Lessee has the Equipment maintained by a party other than
the manufacturer or self maintains, Lessee agrees to pay any costs necessary for
the manufacturer to bring the Equipment to then current release, revision and
engineering change levels, and to re-certify the Equipment as eligible for
manufacturer's maintenance at the expiration of the lease term, provided re-
certification is available and is required by Lessor. The lease term will
continue upon the same terms and conditions until recertification has been
obtained.
7.2 Inspection by Lessor. Upon reasonable advance notice, Lessee, during
reasonable business hours and subject to Lessee's security requirements, will
make the Equipment and its related log and maintenance records available to
Lessor for inspection.
8. Representations and Warranties of Lessee. Lessee hereby represents, warrants
and covenants that with respect to the Master Lease and each Schedule executed
hereunder:
(a) The Lessee is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good
standing under the taws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, is duly
qualified to do business in each jurisdiction (including the jurisdiction where

Company's business; and has full corporate power and authority to hold property
under the Master Lease and each Schedule and to enter into and perform its
obligations under the Master Lease and each Schedule.
(b) The execution and delivery by the Lessee of the Master Lease and each

contravene any law or governmental rule, regulation or order applicable to it,
do not and will not contravene any provision of, or constitute a default under,
any indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument to which it is a party or
by which it is bound, and the Master Lease and each Schedule constitute legal,
valid and binding agreements of the Lessee, enforceable in accordance with their
terms, subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy and other similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally and rules of law concerning
equitable remedies.
(c) There are no actions, suits, proceedings or patent claims pending or, to
the knowledge of the Lessee, threatened against or affecting the Lessee in any
court or before any governmental commission, board or authority which, if
adversely determined, will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
Lessee to perform its obligations under the Master Lease and each Schedule.
(d) The Equipment is personal property and when subjected to use by the
Lessee will not be or become fixtures under applicable law.
(e) The Lessee has no material liabilities or obligations, absolute or
contingent (individually or in the aggregate), except the liabilities and

liabilities and obligations which have occurred in the ordinary course of
business, and which have not been, in any case or in the aggregate, materially
adverse to Lessee's ongoing business.
(f) To the best of the Lessee's knowledge, the Lessee owns, possesses, has
access to, or can become licensed on reasonable terms under all patents, patent
applications, trademarks, trade names, inventions, franchises, licenses,
permits, computer software and copyrights necessary for the operations of its
business as now conducted, with no known infringement of, or conflict with, the
rights of others.
(g) All material contracts, agreements and instruments to which the Lessee
is a party are in full force and effect in all material respects, and are valid,
binding and enforceable by the Lessee in accordance with their respective terms,
subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting
the rights of creditors generally, and rules of law concerning equitable
remedies.
9. Delivery and Return of Equipment.
Lessee hereby assumes the full expense of transportation and in-transit
insurance to Lessee's premises and installation thereat of the Equipment. Upon
termination (by expiration or otherwise) of each Summary Equipment Schedule,
Lessee shall, pursuant to Lessor's instructions and at Lessee's full expense
(including, without limitation, expenses of transportation and in-transit
insurance), return the Equipment to Lessor in the same operating order, repair,
condition and appearance as when received, less normal depreciation and wear and
tear. Lessee shall return the Equipment to Lessor at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx,
Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 or at such other address within the continental United
States as directed by Lessor, provided, however, that Lessee's expense shall be
limited to the cost of returning the Equipment to Lessor's address as set forth
herein. During the period subsequent to receipt of a notice under Section 2,
Lessor may demonstrate the Equipment's operation in place and Lessee will supply
any of its personnel as may reasonably be required to assist in the
demonstrations.
10. Labeling.
Upon request, Lessee will xxxx the Equipment indicating Lessor's interest with
labels provided by Lessor. Lessee will keep all Equipment free from any other
marking or labeling which might be interpreted as a claim of ownership.
11. Indemnity.
With regard to bodily injury and property damage liability only, Lessee will
indemnify and hold Lessor, any Assignee and any Secured Party harmless from and
against any and all claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of the ownership (for strict liability
in tort only), selection, possession, leasing, operation, control, use,
maintenance, delivery, return or other disposition of the Equipment during the
term of this Master Lease or until Lessee's obligations under the Master Lease
terminate. However, Lessee is not responsible to a party indemnified hereunder
for any claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities occasioned by the
negligent acts of such indemnified party. Lessee agrees to carry bodily injury
and property damage liability insurance during the term of the Master Lease in
amounts and against risks customarily insured against by the Lessee on equipment
owned by it. Any amounts received by Lessor under that insurance will be
credited against Lessee's obligations under this Section.
12. Risk of Loss.
Effective upon delivery and until the Equipment is returned, Lessee relieves
Lessor of responsibility for all risks of physical damage to or loss or
destruction of the Equipment. Lessee will carry casualty insurance for each item
of Equipment in an amount not less than the Casualty Value. All policies for
such insurance will name the Lessor and any Secured Party as additional insured
and as loss payee, and will provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice to the Lessor of cancellation or expiration, and will insure Lessor's
interests regardless of any breach or violation by Lessee of any representation,
warranty or condition contained in such policies and will be primary without
right of contribution from any insurance effected by Lessor. Upon the execution
of any Schedule, the Lessee will furnish appropriate evidence of such insurance
acceptable to Lessor.
Lessee will promptly repair any damaged item of Equipment unless such Equipment
has suffered a Casualty Loss. Within fifteen (15) days of a Casualty Loss,
Lessee will provide written notice of that loss to Lessor and Lessee will, at
Lessee's option, either (a) replace the item of Equipment with Like Equipment
and marketable title to the Like Equipment will automatically vest in Lessor or
(b) pay the Casualty Value and after that payment and the payment of all other
amounts due and owing with respect to that item of Equipment, Lessee's
obligation to pay further Rent for the item of Equipment will cease.
13. Default, Remedies and Mitigation.
13.1 Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following Events of
Default constitutes a default under a Summary Equipment Schedule:
(a) Lessee's failure to pay Rent or other amounts payable by Lessee when due
if that failure continues for five (5) business days after written notice; or
(b) Lessee's failure to perform any other term or condition of the Schedule
or the material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Lessee
in the Schedule or in any document or certificate furnished to the Lessor
hereunder if that failure or inaccuracy continues for ten (10) business days
after written notice; or
(c) An assignment by Lessee for the benefit of its creditors, the failure by
Lessee to pay its debts when due, the insolvency of Lessee, the filing by Lessee
or the filing against Lessee of any petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency
law or for the appointment of a trustee or other officer with similar powers,
the adjudication of Lessee as insolvent, the liquidation of Lessee, or the
taking of any action for the purpose of the foregoing; or
(d) The occurrence of an Event of Default under any Schedule, Summary
Equipment Schedule or other agreement between Lessee and Lessor or its Assignee
or Secured Party.
13.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any of the above Events of Default,
Lessor, at its option, may:
(a) enforce Lessee's performance of the provisions of the applicable
Schedule by appropriate court action in law or in equity;
(b) recover from Lessee any damages and or expenses, including Default
Costs;
(c) with notice and demand, recover all sums due and accelerate and recover
the present value of the remaining payment stream of all Rent due under the
defaulted Schedule (discounted at the same rate of interest at which such
defaulted Schedule was discounted with a Secured Party plus any prepayment fees
charged to Lessor by the Secured Party or, if there is no Secured Party, then
discounted at 6%) together with all Rent and other amounts currently due as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty;
(d) with notice and process of law and in compliance with Lessee's security
requirements, Lessor may enter on Lessee's premises to remove and repossess the
Equipment without being liable to Lessee for damages due to the repossession,
except those resulting from Lessor's, its assignees', agents' or
representatives' negligence; and
(e) pursue any other remedy permitted by law or equity.
The above remedies, in Lessor's discretion and to the extent permitted by law,
are cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently.
13.3 Mitigation. Upon return of the Equipment pursuant to the terms of Section
13.2, Lessor will use its best efforts in accordance with its normal business
procedures (and without obligation to give any priority to such Equipment) to
mitigate Lessor's damages as described below. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS
SECTION, LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS NOW OR HEREAFTER CONFERRED BY STATUTE
OR OTHERWISE WHICH MAY REQUIRE LESSOR TO MITIGATE ITS DAMAGES OR MODIFY ANY OF
LESSOR'S RIGHTS OR REMEDIES STATED HEREIN. Lessor may sell, lease or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of the Equipment at a public or private sale for cash
or credit with the privilege of purchasing the Equipment. The proceeds from any
sale, lease or other disposition of the Equipment are defined as either:
(a) if sold or otherwise disposed of, the cash proceeds less the Fair Market
Value of the Equipment at the expiration of the Initial Term less the Default
Costs; or
(b) if leased, the present value (discounted at three percent (3%) over the
U.S. Treasury Notes of comparable maturity to the term of the re-lease) of the
rentals for a term not to exceed the Initial Term, less the Default Costs.
Any proceeds will be applied against liquidated damages and any other sums due
to Lessor from Lessee. However, Lessee is liable to Lessor for, and Lessor may
recover, the amount by which the proceeds are less than the liquidated damages
and other sums due to Lessor from Lessee.
14. Additional Provisions.
14.1 Board Attendance. Upon invitation of Lessee, one representative of Lessor
will have the right to attend Lessee's corporate Board of Directors meetings and
Lessee will give Lessor reasonable notice in advance of any special Board of
Directors meeting, which notice will provide an agenda of the subject matter to
be discussed at such board meeting. Lessee will provide Lessor with a certified
copy of the minutes of each Board of Directors meeting within thirty (30) days
following the date of such meeting held during the term of this Master Lease.
14.2 Financial Statements. As soon as practicable at the end of each month (and
in any event within thirty (30) days), Lessee will provide to Lessor the same
information which Lessee provides to its Board of Directors, but which will
include not less than a monthly income statement, balance sheet and statement of
cash flows prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied (the "Financial Statements"). As soon as practicable at the
end of each fiscal year, Lessee will provide to Lessor audited Financial
Statements setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures for the
fiscal year (and in any event within ninety (90) days), and accompanied by an
audit report and opinion of the independent certified public accountants
selected by Lessee. Lessee will promptly furnish to Lessor any additional
information (including, but not limited to, tax returns, income statements,
balance sheets and names of principal creditors) as Lessor reasonably believes
necessary to evaluate Lessee's continuing ability to meet financial obligations.
After the effective date of the initial registration statement covering a public
offering of Lessee's securities, the term "Financial Statements" will be deemed
to refer to only those statements required by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
14.3 Obligation to Lease Additional Equipment. Upon notice to Lessee, Lessor
will not be obligated to lease any Equipment which would have a Commencement
Date after said notice if: (i) Lessee is in default under this Master Lease or
any Schedule; (ii) Lessee is in default under any loan agreement, the result of
which would allow the lender or any secured party to demand immediate payment of
any material indebtedness; (iii) there is a material adverse change in Lessee's
credit standing; or (iv) Lessor determines (in reasonable good faith) that
Lessee will be unable to perform its obligations under this Master Lease or any
Schedule.
14.4 Merger and Sale Provisions. Lessee will notify Lessor of any proposed
Merger at least sixty (60) days prior to the closing date. Lessor may, in its
discretion, either (i) consent to the assignment of the Master Lease and all
relevant Schedules to the successor entity, or (ii) terminate the Master Lease
and all relevant Schedules. If Lessor elects to consent to the assignment,
Lessee and its successor will sign the assignment documentation provided by
Lessor. If Lessor elects to terminate the Master Lease and all relevant
Schedules, then Lessee will pay Lessor all amounts then due and owing and a
termination fee equal to the present value (discounted at 6%) of the remaining
Rent for the balance of the Initial Term(s) of all Schedules, and will return
the Equipment in accordance with Section 9. Lessor hereby consents to any Merger
in which the acquiring entity has a Xxxxx'x Bond Rating of BA3 or better or a
commercially acceptable equivalent measure of creditworthiness as reasonably
determined by Lessor.
14.5 Entire Agreement. This Master Lease and associated Schedules and Summary
Equipment Schedules supersede all other oral or written agreements or
understandings between the parties concerning the Equipment including, for
example, purchase orders. ANY AMENDMENT OF THIS MASTER LEASE OR A SCHEDULE, MAY
ONLY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY A WRITING SIGNED BY THE PARTY AGAINST WHOM THE AMENDMENT
IS SOUGHT TO BE ENFORCED.
14.6 No Waiver. No action taken by Lessor or Lessee will be deemed to
constitute a waiver of compliance with any representation, warranty or covenant
contained in this Master Lease or a Schedule. The waiver by Lessor or Lessee of
a breach of any provision of this Master Lease or a Schedule will not operate or
be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.
14.7 Binding Nature. Each Schedule is binding upon, and inures to the benefit
of Lessor and its assigns. LESSEE MAY NOT ASSIGN ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS.
14.8 Survival of Obligations. All agreements, obligations including, but not
limited to those arising under Section 6.2, representations and warranties
contained in this Master Lease, any Schedule. Summary Equipment Schedule or in
any document delivered in connection with those agreements are for the benefit
of Lessor and any Assignee or Secured Party and survive the execution, delivery,
expiration or termination of this Master Lease.
14.9 Notices. Any notice, request or other communication to either party by the
other will be given in writing and deemed received upon the earlier of (1)
actual receipt or (3) three days after mailing if mailed postage prepaid by
regular or airmail to Lessor (to the attention of "the Comdisco Venture Group")
or Lessee, at the address set out in the Schedule, (3) one day after it is sent
by courier or (4) on the same day as sent via facsimile transmission, provided
that the original is sent by personal delivery or mail by the sending party.

BEEN MADE, EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND WILL BE GOVERNED
AND CONSTRUED FOR ALL PURPOSES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
ILLINOIS WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS. NO RIGHTS OR
REMEDIES REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 2A OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE WILL BE
CONFERRED ON LESSEE UNLESS EXPRESSLY GRANTED IN THIS MASTER LEASE OR A SCHEDULE.

any Schedule is for any reason held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the

mutually acceptable valid, legal and enforceable provision that is closest to
the original intention of the parties.
14.12 Counterparts. This Master Lease and any Schedule may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts together constitute one and the same instrument. If Lessor grants a
security interest in all or any part of a Schedule, the Equipment or sums
payable thereunder, only that counterpart Schedule marked "Secured Party's
Original" can transfer Lessor's rights and all other counterparts will be marked
"Duplicate."
14.13 Licensed Products. Lessee will obtain no title to Licensed Products which
will at all times remain the property of the owner of the Licensed Products. A
license from the owner may be required and it is Lessee's responsibility to

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of September 22, 1998 is entered into
by and between Chorum Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation having a
principal place of business at 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx,
XX 00000 (the "Borrower") and Comdisco, Inc., a Delaware corporation having a
principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000
(the "Lender" ). In consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
WHEREAS, Borrower desires to borrow from the Lender hereunder the amount of
EIGHT HUNDRED SEVENTY THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED EIGHT-THREE AND 37/00 DOLLARS
($870,683.37) and Lender is willing to lend said amount to Borrower on September
30, 1998 (the "Funding Date");
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed:
SECTION 1. THE LOAN
1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender shall
lend to Borrower the aggregate original principal of EIGHT HUNDRED SEVENTY
THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED EIGHT-THREE AND 37/00 DOLLARS ($870,683.37) (the "Loan")
with interest at the rate of seven and one quarter percent (7.25%) per annum
payable in monthly installments as set forth in the promissory note (the
"Note") in the form attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit A, dated
September 30, 1998.
1.2 Upon the occurrence of and during an Event of Default (as defined
herein), interest shall thereafter be calculated at a rate of five percent (5%)
in excess of the rate that would otherwise be applicable ("Default Rate"). All
such interest shall be due and payable in arrears, on the first day of the
following month.
1.3 Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Note, or any
other "Loan Document" (as defined herein), it is not the parties' intent to
contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the
maximum rate permissible by law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall
deem applicable hereto (which under the laws of the State of Illinois shall be
deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial
loans) (the "Maximum Rate"). If the Borrower actually pays Lender an amount of
interest, chargeable on the total aggregate principal Obligations of Borrower
under this Agreement and the Note (as said rate is calculated over a period of
time that is the longer of (i) the time from the date of this Agreement through
the maturity time as set forth on the Note, or (ii) the entire period of time
that any principal is outstanding on the Note), which amount of interest exceeds
interest calculated at the Maximum Rate on said principal chargeable over said
period of time, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower shall be
applied first, to the payment of principal outstanding on the Note; second,
after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Lender's out of pocket costs,
expenses, and professional fees which are owed by Borrower to Lender under the
Agreement or the Loan Documents; and third, after all principal, costs,
expenses, and professional fees owed by Borrower to Lender are repaid, the
excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower.
1.4 In the event any interest is not paid when due hereunder, delinquent
interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on interest,
compounded at the rate set forth in section 1.1.
1.5 Upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder (as
defined herein), all Obligations, including principal, interest, compounded
interest, and reasonable professional fees, shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to the Default Rate.
1.6 Borrower shall have the option to prepay the Note, in whole or in
part, at any time after the date hereof by paying the principal amount together
with all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such principal amount, as
of the date of such prepayment and the present value of the Balloon Payment as
described in the Note together with a prepayment premium equal to the
difference, if any, between (x) the amount being prepaid and (y) the present
value, discounted at the Treasury Rate, of each installment of principal and
interest being prepaid discounted to the date of prepayment. If the amount in
(x) is greater than the amount in (y), no prepayment premium shall be due. The
"Treasury Rate" shall mean the then prevailing yield on US Treasury Constant
Maturities for the most recent business day, as quoted in the Federal Reserve
Statistical Release H15, as of the date of prepayment for an obligation of
comparable maturity to the maturity date of the Note.
SECTION 2. SECURITY INTEREST
As security for the payment of all indebtedness ("Indebtedness") of the
Borrower to the Lender hereunder and under the Note, as the same may be renewed,
extended for any period or rearranged, and the performance by the Borrower of
its other obligations hereunder (the Indebtedness and such other obligations
being hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the "Obligations"), the
Borrower hereby assigns to the Lender, and grants to the Lender a first priority
security interest in, all the Borrower's right, title, and interest in and to
the following property ("Collateral"): (i) the equipment and other property (the
"Equipment") described in Exhibit B attached hereto; and (ii) all proceeds,
products, replacements, additions to, substitutions for and accessions to any
and all Equipment including, without limitation, the proceeds applicable to the
insurance referred to in Section 4 hereof.
SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BORROWER
The Borrower represents, warrants and agrees that:
3.1 it has good title in and to the Equipment, free of all liens, security
interests, encumbrances and claims whatsoever, except for the interest of the
Lender therein and Permitted Liens;
3.2 it has the full power and authority to, and does hereby grant and
convey to the Lender, a valid first priority (and when the requisite financing
statements are properly filed) perfected security interest in the Equipment as
security for the Obligations, free of all liens, security interests,
encumbrances and claims other than Permitted Liens, and shall execute such
Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") financing statements in connection herewith as
the Lender may reasonably request. No other lien, security interest, adverse
claim or encumbrance has been created by Borrower or is known by Borrower to
exist with respect to any Collateral other than Permitted Liens. Permitted Liens
means the following;
(a) liens for taxes, fees, assessments or other governmental charges or
levies, either not delinquent or being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings, provided the same have no priority over any of Lender's security
interests:
(b) liens securing claims or demands or materialmen, mechanics, carriers,
warehousemen, landlords and other like persons or entities imposed without
action of such parties, provided that the payment thereof is not yet required;
and
(c) liens arising from judgements, decrees or attachments in
circumstances not constituting an Event of Default hereunder.
3.3 it is a corporation duly organized, legally existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is duly qualified as a
foreign corporation in all jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify would
have a material adverse effect on the Collateral or the business of the Borrower
taken as a whole;
3.4 the execution, delivery and performance of the Note, this Agreement,
the Warrant Agreement dated September __, 1998 pursuant to which Borrower
granted to Lender the right to purchase the number of shares of preferred stock
as set forth therein ("Warrant Agreement"), and all financing statements,
certificates and other documents required to be delivered or executed in
connection herewith (collectively, the "Loan Documents") have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action of Borrower, the individual or
individuals executing the Documents were duly authorized to do so, the Equipment
is personal property and as used by the Borrower will not be or become fixtures
under applicable law, with the exception of the fixtures listed on Exhibit B,
and the Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws
generally affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors;
3.5 the Loan Documents do not and will not violate any provisions of its
articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws or any contract, agreement,
law, regulation, order, injunction, judgment, decree or writ to which the
Borrower is subject, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien,
security interest or other encumbrance upon the Collateral, other than those
created by this Agreement;
3.7 the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents do not
require the consent or approval of any other person or entity including, without
limitation, any regulatory authority or governmental body of the United States
or any state thereof or any political subdivision of the United States or any
state thereof.
SECTION 4. INSURANCE AND RISK OF LOSS
4.1 Risk of loss of, damage to or destruction of the Equipment shall be
borne by the Borrower and effective upon the Funding Date under the Note and
until the payment and performance in full of all Obligations, Borrower shall at
its own expense cause to be carried and maintained all risk casualty insurance
(covering risk of fire, theft and other such risks as similarly situated
companies insure against) with respect to each item of Equipment in an amount no
less than the replacement costs applicable to such item of Equipment during the
term of this
Agreement. All policies evidencing such casualty insurance shall contain
a standard mortgagee's endorsement and shall provide for at least thirty days
prior written notice by the underwriter or insurance company to the Lender in
the event of cancellation or expiration. Borrower shall provide Lender with
insurance certificates evidencing the foregoing at time of closing.
4.2 If any item of Equipment is lost or rendered unusable as a result of
any physical damage to or destruction of such item of Equipment during the
period from the Funding Date to the date all Obligations hereunder have been
fully satisfied, Borrower shall give to Lender prompt notice thereof. Borrower
shall determine, within fifteen (15) days after the date of occurrence of such
loss, damage or destruction, whether such item of Equipment can be repaired and
restored to the condition in which such item of Equipment was required to be
maintained as of the date immediately preceding such damage. If Borrower
determines that such item of Equipment can be repaired and Borrower elects to
make such repairs, Borrower, at its expense, shall cause such item of Equipment
to be promptly repaired If Borrower determines that such item of Collateral is
lost, cannot be repaired or Borrower elects not to make repairs, Borrower shall
promptly notify the Lender and such item of Equipment shall be deemed to have
suffered a "Casualty Loss" for purposes of this Section as of the date of the
occurrence of such loss. Within fifteen (15) days following the occurrence of
any such loss, damage or destruction, Borrower shall notify the Lender of the
item(s) of Equipment which has suffered such Casualty Loss ("Loss Item"), and
within thirty (30) days thereafter (the "Settlement Date"), Borrower shall
either (a) replace such item(s) of Equipment with equipment of the same model,
type and feature configuration, in an operating condition and repair no less
than that required hereunder of the damaged or lost equipment immediately prior
to the date of such damage or loss, in which case such replacement equipment
shall for all purposes hereunder become part of the Collateral and (without
limiting the preceding provisions) Borrower shall grant to Lender a first lien
and security interest in respect of such replacement equipment pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, and Borrower shall provide the Lender evidence
satisfactory to the Lender of Borrower's good and marketable title to such
replacement equipment (free of any liens, security interests or encumbrances
other than those created by this Agreement and Permitted Liens and Borrower
shall be entitled to receive the amount of any insurance or other recovery
received by Lender up to cost of obtaining the replacement equipment; or (b) so
long as no Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or passage
of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower may provide substitute equipment satisfactory to Lender to
become part of the Collateral and Borrower shall grant to Lender a first lien
and security interest in respect of such substitute equipment pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, and Borrower shall provide the Lender evidence
satisfactory to Lender of Borrower's good and marketable title to such
substitute equipment (free of any liens, security interests or encumbrances
other than created by this Agreement and Permitted Liens and Lender shall
provide any required endorsements in connection with any insurance proceeds
received by Borrower pursuant to such insurance policies; or (c) Borrower shall
pay Lender the insurance proceeds payable pursuant to such insurance policies
("Insurance Proceeds")with respect to such Loss Item(s) and the principal amount
of the Note (and interest accrued on the principal amount so prepayable) shall
become due and payable on the Settlement Date to the extent of the replacement
cost for all such Loss Item(s). Moneys so received shall be applied, on the date
of such receipt, as follows: first, to pay any accrued interest on the
outstanding principal amount of the Note on such date; second, to prepay, the
outstanding principal amount of the Note (to the extent of the Casualty Value
(See Exhibit 1 ) of such Loss Item(s)); third, to pay any other Indebtedness of
amounts then due and owing to the Lender hereunder; and fourth, so long as there
has occurred no Event of
Default under Section 8 hereof and no event which with the giving of notice or
passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred and
is continuing, Borrower and Lender hereby agree that the balance of any such
Insurance Proceeds shall be paid promptly to the Borrower.
4.3 Effective upon the Funding Date under the Note and while there are
any Obligations outstanding, Borrower shall cause to be carried and maintained
comprehensive general liability insurance with regard to the Collateral against
risks customarily insured against in the Borrower's business. Such risks shall
include, without limitation, the risks of death, bodily injury and property
damage associated with the Collateral. All policies evidencing such insurance
shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice by the
underwriter or insurance company to the Lender in the event of cancellation or
expiration.
4.4 Borrower shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Lender, its agents
and shareholders harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, expenses,
damages and liabilities (including without limitation such claims, costs,
expenses, damages and liabilities based on liability in tort including without
limitation strict liability in tort) including reasonable attorneys' fees,
arising out of Borrower's ownership, possession, operation, control, use,
maintenance, delivery, or other disposition of the Collateral. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Borrower shall not be responsible under the terms of this Section
4.4 to a party indemnified hereunder for any claims, costs, expenses, damages
and liabilities occasioned by the negligence or willful misconduct of such
indemnified party.
Lender may not enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect
to any claim covered by the indemnity set forth in this section without
Borrower's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, and if a claim is settled or compromised without such
consent, Borrower shall not be obligated to provide indemnification under this
section. If Lender or any other indemnified party obtains recovery of any of the
amounts that Borrower has paid to them pursuant to the indemnity set forth in
this section, then Lender or such other indemnified party, as applicable, shall
promptly pay to Borrower the amount of such recovery.
SECTION 5. COVENANTS OF BORROWER
Borrower covenants and agrees as follows at all times while any of the
Obligations remain outstanding:
5.1 Borrower shall maintain the Equipment in good operating order, repair,
condition and appearance and protect the Equipment from deterioration, other
than normal wear and tear. Borrower shall not use any of the Equipment or permit
its use for any purpose other than for which it was designed. Borrower's
obligation regarding the maintenance of the Equipment shall include, without
limitation, all maintenance, repair, refurbishment and replacement recommended
or advised either by the manufacturer, or that commonly performed by prudent
business and/or professional practice. Any exceptions or qualifications
expressed in this Agreement relating to normal or ordinary wear and tear shall
not be deemed to limit Borrower's obligations pursuant to the preceding
sentence.
5.2 Borrower shall only relocate any item of the Equipment provided
that: (a) it shall have caused to be filed and/or delivered to the Lender all
UCC financing statements, certificates or other documents or instruments
necessary to continue in effect the first prior perfected security interest of
the Lender in the Collateral, and (b) it shall have given the Lender no less
than fifteen (15) days prior written notice of such relocation;
5.3 In the event Borrower adds or installs any Upgrade (as hereinafter
defined) on the Equipment, at the request of Lender, Borrower shall, upon
Lender's demand made in conjunction with a sale or other disposition of the
Equipment during the occurrence of an Event of Default, remove any such Upgrade
and restore the Equipment to the condition in which such Equipment is required
to be maintained hereunder as if such Upgrade had never been attached thereto.
Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Lender (which shall not
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned in the case of tenant
improvements) and subject to such conditions as Lender may impose for its
protection, affix the Equipment to any real property if, as a result thereof,
the Equipment could become a fixture under applicable law.
For purposes hereof and all Loan Documents relating hereto, the term
"Upgrade" shall mean: (i) any accessory, equipment or device manufactured or
sold by the manufacturer of the Equipment for installation on the Equipment and
installed in compliance with said manufacturer's installation procedures (other
than those added by the manufacturer in order to maintain the Equipment at
current engineering levels), or (ii) any other accessory, equipment or device
installed on the Equipment so long as such item does not impair the original
function or use of the Equipment, capable of being removed without causing
material damage to the Equipment and does not decrease the fair market value of
the Equipment. An Upgrade shall not become an accession to the Equipment. For
purposes hereof and of all Loan Documents relating hereto, the term "Equipment"
shall not be deemed to include any such Upgrade.
5.4 Upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall, during business hours,
make the Equipment available to Lender for inspection at the place where it is
normally located and shall make Borrower's log and maintenance records
pertaining to the Equipment available to the Equipment available to Lender for
inspection. Borrower shall take all action necessary to maintain such logs and
maintenance records in a correct and complete fashion.
5.5 Upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall cause the Equipment to be
plainly, permanently and conspicuously marked, by stenciling or by metal tag or
plate affixed thereto, indicating Lender's security interest in the Equipment.
Borrower shall replace any such stenciling, tag or plate which may be removed or
destroyed or become illegible. Borrower shall keep all Equipment free from any
marking or labeling which might be interpreted as a claim of ownership adverse
to Borrower's.
5.6 Borrower covenants and agrees to pay when due, all taxes, fees or
other charges of any nature whatsoever (together with any related interest or
penalties) now or hereafter imposed or assessed against Borrower, Lender or the
Equipment or upon Borrower's ownership, possession, use, operation or
disposition thereof or upon Borrower's rents, receipts or earnings arising
therefrom. Borrower shall file on or before the due date therefor all personal
property tax returns in respect of the Equipment. The foregoing not
withstanding, Borrower need not make any payment described in this Section 5.6
if the amount or the validity thereof of such payment is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and is reserved against to the extent required
by GAAP.
5.7 Borrower shall furnish to Lender the financial statements listed
hereinafter, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied (the "Financial Statements"):
(a) as soon as practicable (and in any event within thirty (30) days)
after the end of each month: an intemally prepared income statement and
balance sheet, each prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied , (including a report as to the
commencement of any material litigation by or against Borrower;
(b) as soon as practicable (and in any event within one hundred twenty
(120) days) after the end of each fiscal year, audited Financial
Statements, setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures for
the preceding fiscal year (if available), and accompanied by any audit
report and opinion of the independent certified public accountants selected
by Borrower; and
(c) promptly any additional information (including but not limited to
tax returns, income statements, balance sheets, and names of principal
creditors) as Lender reasonably believes necessary to evaluate Borrower's
continuing ability to meet financial obligations.
5.8 Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the effective date of the
initial registration statement covering a public offering of Borrower's
securities, the term "Financial Statements" shall be deemed to refer to only
those statements required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to be
provided no less frequently than quarterly. Borrower will from time to time
execute, deliver and file, alone or with Lender, any financing statements,
security agreements or other documents; and take all further action that may be
necessary, or that Lender may reasonably request, to confirm, perfect, preserve
and protect the security interests intended to be granted hereby, and in
addition, and for such purposes only, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to
execute and deliver on behalf of Borrower and to file such financing statements,
security agreement and other documents without the signature of Borrower either
in Lender's name or in the name of Borrower as agent and attorney-in-fact for
Borrower.
5.9 Borrower shall protect and defend Borrower's title as well as the
interest of the Lender against all persons claiming any interest adverse to
Borrower or Lender and shall at all times keep the Collateral free and clear
from any attachment or levy, liens or encumbrances whatsoever (except any placed
thereon by Lender, or any Permitted Liens) and shall give Lender immediate
written notice thereof.
5.10 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if Lender seeks to
foreclose on the Equipment, Borrower shall be liable for the full expense of
transportation and in-transit insurance to Lender's, Borrower's liability for
expense of transportation of the Equipment shall be limited to the costs of
transportation to such warehouse space, Borrower will arrange for the
deinstallation and audit of the Equipment, and will pack; ship and send the
Equipment to Lender in good operating order, repair, condition and appearance,
and in a condition required pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof.
SECTION 6. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO LOAN
On or prior to the Funding Date, Borrower will provide to Lender the
following, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender:
6.1 Such documentation, including, without limitation, a Xxxx of Sale,
and other documents as shall reasonably evidence Borrower's right, title and

all or a part of its interest hereunder and under the Note and Loan Documents to
any person or entity (an "Assignee"). After such assignment the term Lender

powers and remedies of Lender hereunder with respect to the interest so
assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, the Lender
shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. No such assignment by
Lender shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder. Borrower
shall acknowledge such assignment or assignments as shall be designated by

of any transfer by it of the Note, it will endorse thereon a notation as to the
portion of the principal of the Note which shall have been paid at the time of
such transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid
thereon.

This Schedule contemplates Lessor's acquisition of Equipment for lease to
Lessee, either by one of the first three categories listed below or by providing
Lessee with Equipment from the fourth category, in an aggregate value up to the
Commitment Amount referred to on the face of this Schedule. If the Equipment
acquired is of category (i), (ii) , (iii) below, the effectiveness of this
Schedule as it relates to those items of Equipment is contingent upon Lessee's
acknowledgment at the time Lessor acquires the Equipment that Lessee has either
received or approved the relevant purchase documentation between vendor and
Lessor for that Equipment.
(i) NEW ON-ORDER EQUIPMENT. Lessor will purchase new Equipment which is
obtained from a vendor by Lessee for its use subject to Lessor's
prior approval of the Equipment.
(ii) SALE-LEASEBACK EQUIPMENT. Any in-place Equipment installed at
Lessee's site and to which Lessee has clear title and ownership may
be considered by Lessor for inclusion under this Lease (the "Sale-
Leaseback Transaction"). Any request for a Sale-Leaseback
Transaction must be submitted to Lessor in writing (along with
accompanying evidence of Lessee's Equipment ownership satisfactory
to Lessor for all Equipment submitted) no later than October 22,
1998*. Lessor will not perform a Sale-Leaseback Transaction for any
request or accompanying Equipment ownership documents which arrive
after the date marked above by an asterisk (*). Further, any sale-
leaseback Equipment will be placed on lease subject to: (1) Lessor
prior approval of the Equipment; and (2) if approved, at Lessor's
actual net appraised Equipment value pursuant to the schedule
below:
ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT INVOICE PERCENT OF ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER'S
DATE NET EQUIPMENT COST PAID BY LESSOR
---------------------------------
Between 10/22/97-10/22/98(360 days) 100%
(iii) USED ON-ORDER EQUIPMENT. Lessor will purchase used Equipment which is

Service, Lessor will purchase new or used Equipment from a third
party or Lessor will supply new or used Equipment from its
inventory for use by Lessee at rates provided by Lessor.
2. Commencement Date
The Commencement Date for each item of new on-order or used on-order
Equipment will be the install date as confirmed in writing by Lessee as set
forth on the vendor invoice of which a facsimile transmission will constitute an
original document. The Commencement Date for sale-leaseback Equipment shall be
the date Lessor tenders the purchase price. The Commencement Date for 800 Number
Equipment shall be fifteen (15) days from the ship date, such ship date to be
set forth on the vendor invoice or if unavailable on the vendor invoice the ship
date will be determined by Lessor upon other supporting shipping documentation.
Lessor will summarize all approved invoices, purchase documentation and evidence
of delivery, as applicable, received in the same calendar quarter into a Summary
Equipment Schedule in the form attached to this Schedule as Exhibit 1, and the
Initial Term will begin the first day of the calendar quarter thereafter. Each
Summary Equipment Schedule will contain the Equipment location, description,
serial number(s) and cost and will incorporate the terms and conditions of the
Master Lease and this Schedule and will constitute a separate lease.
3. Option to Extend
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder,
and upon written notice no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than
ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term of a Summary
Equipment Schedule, Lessee will have the right to extend the Initial Term of
such Summary Equipment Schedule for a period of one (1) year. In such event, the
rent to be paid during said extended period shall be mutually agreed upon and if
the parties cannot mutually agree within ninety (90) days of the expiration of
the Initial Term, then Lessee may revoke its election to extend the Initial Term
by notice given to Lessor within five (5) days thereafter. If such notice is not
given and an impasse is reached, then the Summary Equipment Schedule shall
continue in full force and effect pursuant to the existing terms and conditions
until terminated in accordance with its terms. The Summary Equipment Schedule
will continue in effect following said extended period until terminated by
either party upon not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice, which
notice shall be effective as of the date of receipt.
4. Purchase Option
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder,
and upon written notice no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than
ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the extended
term of the applicable Summary Equipment Schedule, Lessee will have the option
at the expiration of the Initial Term or the extended term of the Summary
Equipment Schedule to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Equipment
listed therein for a purchase price not to exceed 15% of Lessor's cost hereunder
and upon terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon by the parties
following Lessee's written notice, plus any taxes applicable at time of
purchase. Said purchase price shall be paid to Lessor on the expiration date of
the Initial Term or extended term. Title to the Equipment shall automatically
pass to Lessee upon payment in full of the purchase price but, in no event,
earlier than the expiration of the fixed Initial Term or extended term, if
applicable Notwithstanding the exercise by Lessee of this option and payment of
the purchase price, until all obligations under the applicable Summary Equipment
Schedule have been fulfilled, it is agreed and understood that Lessor shall
retain a purchase money security interest in the Equipment listed therein and
the Summary Equipment Schedule shall constitute a Security Agreement under the
Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Equipment is located.
If the parties are unable to agree on the purchase price or the terms and
conditions with respect to said purchase within ninety (90) days of the
expiration of the Initial Term or the renewal term, as applicable, then Lessee
may revoke its election to purchase the Equipment by notice given to Lessor
within five (5) days thereafter. If such notice is not given and an impasse is
reached, the Summary Equipment Schedule shall continue in full force and effect
pursuant to the existing terms and conditions until terminated by either party
upon not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice, which notice shall be
effective as of the date of receipt.
5. Technology Exchange Option
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and there is
no material adverse change in Lessee's credit, on or after the expiration of the
12th month of any Summary Equipment Schedule, Lessee shall have the option to
replace any of the Equipment subject to such summary Equipment Schedule with new
technology equipment ("New Technology Equipment') utilizing the following
guidelines:
A. Equipment being replaced with New Technology Equipment shall have an
aggregate original cost equal to or greater than $20,000 and be comprised of
full configurations of equipment.
B. This technology Exchange Option shall be limited to a maximum in the
aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the original equipment cost and shall not
apply to software or any soft costs financed hereunder including but not limited
to tenant improvements and custom equipment.
C. The cost of the New Technology Equipment must be equal to or greater than the
original equipment cost of the replaced equipment, but in no event shall exceed
150% of the original equipment cost.
D. The remaining lease payments applicable to the equipment being replaced by
the New Technology Equipment will be discounted to present value at 6%.
The wholesale market value of the equipment being replaced will be established
by Comdisco based upon then current market conditions. Upon the return of the
replaced equipment, the wholesale price will be deducted from the present value
of the remaining
rentals and the differential will be added to the cost of the New Technology
Equipment in calculating the new rental. The lease for the New Technology
Equipment will contain terms and conditions substantially similar to those for
the replaced equipment and will have an Initial Term not less than the balance
of the remaining Initial Term for the replaced equipment.

Commitment Amount referred to on the face of this Schedule. If the Equipment

Transaction must be submitted to Lessor in writing (along with
accompanying evidence of Lessee's Equipment ownership satisfactory
to Lessor for all Equipment submitted) no later than October 22,
1998*. Lessor will not perform a Sale-Leaseback Transaction for any
request or accompanying Equipment ownership documents which arrive
after the date marked above by an asterisk (*). Further, any sale-
leaseback Equipment will be placed on lease subject to: (1) Lessor
prior approval of the Equipment; and (2) if approved, at Lessor's
actual net appraised Equipment value pursuant to the schedule

party or Lessor will supply new or used Equipment from its
inventory for use by Lessee at rates provided by Lessor.
2. Commencement Date
The Commencement Date for each item of new on-order or used on-order
Equipment will be the install date as confirmed in writing by Lessee as set
forth on the vendor invoice of which a facsimile transmission will constitute an
original document. The Commencement Date for sale-leaseback Equipment shall be
the date Lessor tenders the purchase price. The Commencement Date for 800 Number
Equipment shall be fifteen (15) days from the ship date, such ship date to be
set forth on the vendor invoice or if unavailable on the vendor invoice the ship
date will be determined by Lessor upon other supporting shipping documentation.
Lessor will summarize all approved invoices, purchase documentation and evidence
of delivery, as applicable, received in the same calendar quarter into a Summary
Equipment Schedule in the form attached to this Schedule as Exhibit 1, and the
Initial Term will begin the first day of the calendar quarter thereafter. Each

received or approved the relevant purchase documentation between vendor and
Lessor for that Equipment.
(i) NEW ON-ORDER EQUIPMENT. Lessor will purchase new Equipment which is
obtained from a vendor by Lessee for its use subject to Lessor's
prior approval of the Equipment.
(ii) SALE-LEASEBACK EQUIPMENT. Any in-place Equipment installed at

Service, Lessor will purchase new or used Equipment from a third
party or Lessor will supply new or used Equipment from its
inventory for use by Lessee at rates provided by Lessor.
2. Commencement Date
The Commencement Date for each item of new on-order or used on-order
Equipment will be the install date as confirmed in writing by Lessee as set
forth on the vendor invoice of which a facsimile transmission will constitute an
original document. The Commencement Date for sale-leaseback Equipment shall be
the date Lessor tenders the purchase price. The Commencement Date for 800 Number
Equipment shall be fifteen (15) days from the ship date, such ship date to be
set forth on the vendor invoice or if unavailable on the vendor invoice the ship
date will be determined by Lessor upon other supporting shipping documentation.
Lessor will summarize all approved invoices, purchase documentation and evidence
of delivery, as applicable, received in the same calendar month into a Summary
Equipment Schedule in the form attached to this Schedule as Exhibit 1, and the
Initial Term will begin the first day of the calendar month thereafter. Each
Summary Equipment Schedule will contain the Equipment location, description,
serial number(s) and cost and will incorporate the terms and conditions of the
Master Lease and this Schedule and will constitute a separate lease.
3. Option to Extend
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder,
and upon written notice no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than
ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term of a Summary
Equipment Schedule, Lessee will have the right to extend the Initial Term of
such Summary Equipment Schedule for a period of one (1) year. In such event, the
rent to be paid during said extended period shall be mutually agreed upon and if
the parties cannot mutually agree within ninety (90) days of the expiration of
the Initial Term, then Lessee may revoke its election to extend the Initial Term
by notice given to Lessor within five (5) days thereafter. If such notice is not
given and an impasse is reached, then the Summary Equipment Schedule shall
continue in full force and effect pursuant to the existing terms and conditions
until terminated in accordance with its terms. The Summary Equipment Schedule
will continue in effect following said extended period until terminated by
either party upon not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice, which
notice shall be effective as of the date of receipt.
4. Purchase Option
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder,
and upon written notice no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than
ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the extended
term of the applicable Summary Equipment Schedule, Lessee will have the option
at the expiration of the Initial Term or the extended term of the Summary
Equipment Schedule to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Equipment
listed therein for a purchase price not to exceed 15% of Lessor's cost hereunder
and upon terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon by the parties
following Lessee's written notice, plus any taxes applicable at time of
purchase. Said purchase price shall be paid to Lessor on the expiration date of
the Initial Term or extended term. Title to the Equipment shall automatically
pass to Lessee upon payment in full of the purchase price but, in no event,
earlier than the expiration of the fixed Initial Term or extended term, if
applicable Notwithstanding the exercise by Lessee of this option and payment of
the purchase price, until all obligations under the applicable Summary Equipment
Schedule have been fulfilled, it is agreed and understood that Lessor shall
retain a purchase money security interest in the Equipment listed therein and
the Summary Equipment Schedule shall constitute a Security Agreement under the
Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Equipment is located.
If the parties are unable to agree on the purchase price or the terms and
conditions with respect to said purchase within ninety (90) days of the
expiration of the Initial Term or the renewal term, as applicable, then Lessee
may revoke its election to purchase the Equipment by notice given to Lessor
within five (5) days thereafter. If such notice is not given and an impasse is
reached, the Summary Equipment Schedule shall continue in full force and effect
pursuant to the existing terms and conditions until terminated by either party
upon not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice, which notice shall be
effective as of the date of receipt.
5. Technology Exchange Option
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and there is
no material adverse change in Lessee's credit, on or after the expiration of the
12th month of any Summary Equipment Schedule, Lessee shall have the option to
replace any of the Equipment subject to such summary Equipment Schedule with new
technology equipment ("New Technology Equipment") utilizing the following
guidelines:
A. Equipment being replaced with New Technology Equipment shall have an
aggregate original cost equal to or greater than $20,000 and be comprised of
full configurations of equipment.
B. This technology Exchange Option shall be limited to a maximum in the
aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the original equipment cost and shall not
apply to software or any soft costs financed hereunder including but not limited
to tenant improvements and custom equipment.
C. The cost of the New Technology Equipment must be equal to or greater than the
original equipment cost of the replaced equipment, but in no event shall exceed
150% of the original equipment cost.
D. The remaining lease payments applicable to the equipment being replaced by
the New Technology Equipment will be discounted to present value at 6%.
The wholesale market value of the equipment being replaced will be established
by Comdisco based upon then current market conditions. Upon the return of the
replaced equipment, the wholesale price will be deducted from the present value
of the remaining
rentals and the differential will be added to the cost of the New Technology
Equipment in calculating the new rental. The lease for the New Technology
Equipment will contain terms and conditions substantially similar to those for
the replaced equipment and will have an Initial Term not less than the balance
of the remaining Initial Term for the replaced equipment.

Software, installation costs, maintenance fee, and tenant improvements
specifically approved by Lessor, which shall be delivered to and accepted by
Lessee during the period March 1, 2000 through September 1, 2001 ("Equipment
Delivery Period") for which Lessor receives vendor invoices approved for
payment, up to an aggregate purchase price of $1,600,000.00("Commitment
Amount'), excluding custom use equipment, delivery costs, rolling stock, special
tooling, hand held items, molds and fungible items.
1. Equipment Purchase
This Schedule contemplates Lessor's acquisition of Equipment for lease to
Lessee, either by one of the first three categories listed below or by providing
Lessee with Equipment from the fourth category, in an aggregate value up to the
Commitment Amount referred to on the face of this Schedule. If the Equipment
acquired is of category (i), (ii) , (iii) below, the effectiveness of this
Schedule as it relates to those items of Equipment is contingent upon Lessee's
acknowledgment at the time Lessor acquires the Equipment that Lessee has either
received or approved the relevant purchase documentation between vendor and
Lessor for that Equipment.
(i) NEW ON-ORDER EQUIPMENT. Lessor will purchase new Equipment which is
obtained from a vendor by Lessee for its use subject to Lessor's
prior approval of the Equipment.
(ii) SALE-LEASEBACK EQUIPMENT. Any in-place Equipment installed at
Lessee's site and to which Lessee has clear title and ownership may
be considered by Lessor for inclusion under this Lease (the "Sale-
Leaseback Transaction"). Any request for a Sale-Leaseback
Transaction must be submitted to Lessor in writing (along with
accompanying evidence of Lessee's Equipment ownership satisfactory
to Lessor for all Equipment submitted) no later than April 1,
2000*. Lessor will not perform a Sale-Leaseback Transaction for any
request or accompanying Equipment ownership documents which arrive
after the date marked above by an asterisk (*). Further, any sale-
leaseback Equipment will be placed on lease subject to: (1) Lessor
prior approval of the Equipment; and (2) if approved, at Lessor's
actual net appraised Equipment value pursuant to the schedule
below:
ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT INVOICE PERCENT OF ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER'S
DATE NET EQUIPMENT COST PAID BY LESSOR
---- ---------------------------------
Between 12/03/99 - 04/01/00 (120 days) 100%
(iii) USED ON-ORDER EQUIPMENT. Lessor will purchase used Equipment which
is obtained from a third party by Lessee for its use subject to
Lessor's prior approval of the Equipment and at Lessor's appraised
value for such used Equipment.
(iv) 800 NUMBER EQUIPMENT. Upon Lessee's use of Comdisco's 1-800 Direct
Service, Lessor will purchase new or used Equipment from a third
party or Lessor will supply new or used Equipment from its
inventory for use by Lessee at rates provided by Lessor.
2. Commencement Date
The Commencement Date for each item of new on-order or used on-order
Equipment will be the install date as confirmed in writing by Lessee as set
forth on the vendor invoice of which a facsimile transmission will constitute an
original document. The Commencement Date for sale-leaseback Equipment shall be
the date Lessor tenders the purchase price. The Commencement Date for 800 Number
Equipment shall be fifteen (15) days from the ship date, such ship date to be
set forth on the vendor invoice or if unavailable on the vendor invoice the ship
date will be determined by Lessor upon other supporting shipping documentation.
Lessor will summarize all approved invoices, purchase documentation and evidence
of delivery, as applicable, received in the same calendar month into a Summary
Equipment Schedule in the form attached to this Schedule as Exhibit 1, and the
Initial Term will begin the first day of the calendar month thereafter. Each
Summary Equipment Schedule will contain the Equipment location, description,
serial number(s) and cost and will incorporate the terms and conditions of the
Master Lease and this Schedule and will constitute a separate lease.
3. Miscellaneous

maintenance fees, and tenant improvements hereunder, Lessee agrees in addition
to its last Monthly Rent Payment to remit to Lessor an amount equal to 12.5% of
Lessor's aggregate cost of software, installation costs, maintenance fees, and
tenant improvements provided hereunder.
