GLOBAL MASTER LEASE AND FINANCING AGREEMENT
This Global Master Lease and Financing Agreement (together with Schedule 1, this
"Global Agreement", and together with the Addenda for those countries listed on
Schedule 1 attached to and made a part of this agreement, this "Agreement"),
dated as of November 22, 2000, is by and between Compaq Financial Services
Corporation ("we", "us" or "our") and Digital Island, Inc. ("you" or "your"),
and can be identified by Global Agreement Number 100909.
1. MASTER AGREEMENT; AFFILIATES; SCHEDULES; COUNTRY SPECIFIC TERMS.
(a) Master Agreement. This Agreement states the general terms and conditions
upon which in any country listed on Schedule 1 in which we can do leasing
and/or financings we or Lessor Affiliates (as defined in paragraph (b)
below) will (a) lease to you or Lessee Affiliates (as defined in paragraph
(b) below) and you or Lessee Affiliates will lease from us items of
tangible equipment ("Hardware"), copies of computer software programs owned
or licensed by us ("Software") or both (such Hardware and Software
collectively, "Equipment"), and (b) provide financing to you or Lessee
Affiliates for software program license fees, maintenance fees, fees for
other services and other one-time charges ("Financed Items") you or Lessee
Affiliates desire to finance under this Agreement.
(b) Affiliates. You understand and agree that we or any subsidiary
corporation, or any affiliate corporation that is controlled or owned by,
or is under common control or ownership with, us (individually, a "Lessor
Affiliate" and, collectively, "Lessor Affiliates") may, as a lessor,
execute Schedules (as defined in paragraph (c) below) under this Agreement,
in which event the terms and conditions of the applicable Schedule and this
Agreement as it relates to the lessor under such Schedule will be binding
upon and will inure to the benefit of us or such Lessor Affiliate signing
such Schedule as lessor, as well as any successors or assigns of such
lessor. We understand and agree that you or any subsidiary corporation, or
any affiliate corporation that is controlled or owned by, or is under
common control or ownership with, you (individually, a "Lessee Affiliate"
and, collectively, "Lessee Affiliates"), may enter into Leases and/or
Financings (each as defined in paragraph (c) below) under and subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement by executing a Schedule
incorporating this Agreement by reference. In the case of such a Schedule
executed by a Lessee Affiliate, such Lessee Affiliate will be deemed, for
purposes of that Schedule, to be "you" under this Agreement as it relates
to the lessee under such Schedule. You now unconditionally guarantee to us
the full and prompt payment, observance and performance when due of all
obligations of all Lessee Affiliates (collectively, "Guaranteed
Obligations"), whether now existing or later arising, under all such
Schedules. This guarantee is absolute, continuing, unlimited and
independent and will not be affected, diminished or released for any
reason. You waive (i) diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest
or notice of any Lessee Default (as defined in Section 19) or
nonperformance by any Lessee Affiliate, (ii) notice of waivers or
indulgences given to you or any Lessee Affiliate, and any extensions,
renewals or amendments to any Fundamental Agreement, Lease or Financing,
and (iii) all defenses, offsets and counterclaims against us, any right to
the benefit of any security or statute of limitations, and any requirement
that we proceed first against a Lessee Affiliate or any collateral
security. Until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in
full, you will not have any right of subrogation.
(c) Schedules. If we and you agree to a lease of particular Equipment
("Lease") and/or financing of particular Financed Items ("Financing"), each
item of Equipment and/or Financed Item will be described on a Schedule,
which Schedule will incorporate this Agreement by reference. "Schedule"
means, unless the context otherwise requires, (a) in the case of a Lease or
Financing commenced
pursuant to Section 2.B, a Schedule executed by you and us pursuant to
Section 2.B(a), and (b) in the case of a Lease or Financing commenced
pursuant to Section 2.C, prior to your execution and delivery to us of a
Consolidating Schedule pursuant to Section 2.C(e) relating to that Lease or
Financing, the applicable APA Acceptance Certificate together with the
applicable Advance Pricing Agreement, and from and after your execution and
delivery to us of a Consolidating Schedule pursuant to Section 2.C(e)
relating to that Lease or Financing, the Consolidating Schedule. Each
Schedule will constitute a separate Lease and/or Financing. If specific
terms of a Schedule conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the
provisions of the Schedule will control.
(d) Country Specific Terms. We and you agree that this Agreement will govern
Leases and Financings in the countries listed on Schedule 1 and that the
terms and conditions in the Addendum for a particular country are unique to
that country and apply only to Schedules where the Equipment is located
and/or the Financed Items are delivered to you in that country. If you and
we agree, additional countries may be added to Schedule 1. Each reference
in this Global Agreement to a Schedule or Schedule in the form of Exhibit
A, an Advance Pricing Agreement or Advance Pricing Agreement in the form of
Exhibit B, a Consolidating Schedule or Consolidating Schedule in the form
of Exhibit C, an Acceptance Certificate or Acceptance Certificate in the
form of Exhibit D, or an APA Acceptance Certificate or APA Acceptance
Certificate in the form of Exhibit E, is a reference to that document in
the form attached to the applicable country Addendum.
2. COMMENCEMENT.
A. STANDARD PROCEDURE AND FUNDING CONSOLIDATION PROCEDURE. You may
enter into Leases or Financings or both with us using the Standard
Procedure or the Funding Consolidation Procedure. A Lease or a
Financing is entered into using the "Standard Procedure" when you and
we execute a completed Schedule in the form of Exhibit A. If you and
we wish to enter into Leases or Financings or both using the "Funding
Consolidation Procedure", you and we must first execute an Advance
Pricing Agreement in the form of Exhibit B.
B. STANDARD PROCEDURE AND ADJUSTMENTS.
(a) If a completed Schedule in the form of Exhibit A is signed by you and
us, and an Acceptance Certificate in the form of Exhibit D accepting
Equipment or Financed Items described in that Schedule is executed by you
and delivered to us, we agree to:
(i) purchase any Equipment described in that Schedule and that
Acceptance Certificate and enter into a Lease of that Equipment
with you; and
(ii) fund any Financed Items described in that Schedule and that
Acceptance Certificate and enter into a Financing of those
Financed Items with you.
(b) We have no obligation to purchase any Equipment or fund any Financed
Items unless we have received an Acceptance Certificate in respect of that
Equipment or those Financed Items, respectively, executed by you before the
Pricing Expiration Date specified in the Schedule.
(c) Each Lease and/or Financing evidenced by a Schedule is a separate
Lease and/or Financing transaction.
(d) The provisions of a Schedule will prevail over the provisions of this
Agreement to the extent of any inconsistency between them.
(e) If the total cost of Equipment and/or Financed Items detailed in the
final invoice from the relevant Supplier (the "Final Invoice Amount") is
different from the Total Cost specified in the relevant Schedule, we may
amend the Total Cost and the Rent payments in the Schedule to take account
of the Final Invoice Amount.
2
(f) If the Final Invoice Amount exceeds the estimated Total Cost by more
than 5%, we must obtain your written approval before making any adjustments
to the Schedule. If you do not give your approval to the proposed
adjustments within 15 days of our request, then the affected Schedule will
terminate. On the termination of that Schedule, you will be responsible for
all obligations arising under the applicable Purchase Documents (as defined
in Section 6), including the obligation to purchase Equipment and fund
Financed Items.
(g) If the description of Equipment and Financed Items in a Schedule
differs from the description of the Equipment and the Financed Items in the
related Acceptance Certificate, we may amend the Schedule to conform the
description of the Equipment and the Financed Items in the Schedule to the
description set out in the Acceptance Certificate.
(h) All references in this Agreement and any Schedule to Total Cost, Rent
(as defined in Section 4), Equipment and Financed Items must be read as
references to Total Cost, Rent, Equipment and Financed Items as adjusted in
accordance with this Section 2.B.
C. FUNDING CONSOLIDATION PROCEDURE.
(a) If an Advance Pricing Agreement in the form of Exhibit B is signed by
you and us, we agree, subject to the provisions of Section 2.C(b), to:
(i) purchase Equipment of the type described in the Advance Pricing
Agreement and enter into Leases of that Equipment with you; and
(ii) fund Financed Items of the type described in the Advance Pricing
Agreement and enter into Financings of the Financed Items with you.
(b) We are not required to purchase Equipment or fund Financed Items under
an Advance Pricing Agreement if:
(i) the purchase or funding would result in the Amount Available
specified in that Advance Pricing Agreement being exceeded; or
(ii) a Lessee Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement
or in respect of any Lease or Financing; or
(iii) you have failed to comply with your obligation to supply financial
statements under Section 2.C(j); or
(iv) in our sole opinion, a material adverse change in your financial or
operating condition has occurred since the date of your last financial
statements delivered to us before the execution of the Advance Pricing
Agreement; or
(v) we have not received during the Commitment Period specified in that
Advance Pricing Agreement an APA Acceptance Certificate in the form of
Exhibit E accepting that Equipment or those Financed Items which has been
executed by you.
(c) Until you have executed and delivered a Consolidating Schedule to us,
each Lease or Financing entered into under Section 2.C(a) evidenced by an
APA Acceptance Certificate executed and delivered by you and accepted by us
will: (i) be governed by the terms of this Agreement, the applicable
Advance Pricing Agreement and applicable APA Acceptance Certificate; and
(ii) constitute a separate Lease or separate Financing, as the case may be.
(d) If the provisions of an APA Acceptance Certificate are inconsistent
with the provisions of an Advance Pricing Agreement or this Agreement, then
the provisions of the APA Acceptance Certificate will prevail to the extent
of the inconsistency. If the provisions of an Advance Pricing Agreement are
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, then the provisions of
the Advance Pricing Agreement will prevail to the extent of the
inconsistency.
(e) All Leases and Financings commenced during a Consolidation Period
specified in an Advance Pricing Agreement must be consolidated into a
Consolidating Schedule in the form of Exhibit C in accordance with Sections
2.C(f) and 2.C(g).
3
(f) We will deliver a Consolidating Schedule to you at the end of each
Consolidation Period. You must execute and return a correct and complete
Consolidating Schedule to us within 15 days of receiving it.
(g) When you have executed and returned a Consolidating Schedule to us:
(i) the Consolidating Schedule supersedes the Advance Pricing Agreement
and each related APA Acceptance Certificate executed during the applicable
Consolidation Period in respect of all Leases and Financings entered into
during such Consolidation Period;
(ii) all Leases and Financings entered into during the applicable
Consolidation Period will be consolidated into one Lease and one Financing
and that Lease and Financing will be governed by the Consolidating
Schedule; and
(iii) if there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this
Agreement and the provisions of Consolidating Schedule, the provisions of
the Consolidating Schedule will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.
(h) If you do not comply with your obligations under Section 2.C(f) within
15 days of notice from us, we may exercise our rights under Section 20 of
this Agreement at any time. Any delay or failure by us to exercise those
rights does not operate as a waiver of those rights.
(i) Until you execute and deliver a Consolidating Schedule to us, Rent is
payable in accordance with the applicable Advance Pricing Agreement and APA
Acceptance Certificates.
(j) At all times during which an Advance Pricing Agreement is effective,
you must deliver to us your quarterly and annual financial statements no
later than 60 days after the end of each of your fiscal quarters or 120
days after the end of each of your fiscal years, as applicable. The annual
financial statements supplied under this clause must be audited by an
independent auditor reasonably acceptable to us.
3. ACCEPTANCE; INITIAL TERM AND TERM; AUTOMATIC EXTENSION.
(a) Acceptance. As soon as reasonably practicable after Equipment and, if
applicable, related Financed Items, are delivered to you, you agree to
inspect them to determine if they are in good working order or otherwise
acceptable to you. On the date that you have completed such inspection,
you will unconditionally and irrevocably accept all Equipment under a Lease
and, if applicable, all related Financed Items subject to a Financing (the
"Acceptance Date"). You will evidence that acceptance by executing and
delivering to us a properly completed Acceptance Certificate in the form of
Exhibit D where the Lease or Financing is effected using the Standard
Procedure, or APA Acceptance Certificate in the form of Exhibit E where the
Lease or Financing is effected using the Funding Consolidation Procedure,
as soon as practicable after a satisfactory inspection is capable of being
completed, or, where you only enter into a Financing without also entering
into a Lease, on or before the date on which we make funds available to the
Seller of that Financed Item to pay for that Financed Item or to you to
reimburse you for your payment of that Financed Item ("Funding Date").
(b) Initial Term of Leases and Term of Financings. The Initial Term of
each Lease and, if applicable, the Term of any related Financing stated in
and evidenced by a Schedule will begin on the Acceptance Date of the
Equipment subject to that Lease and will continue for the period described
in the applicable Schedule; the Term of each Financing stated in and
evidenced by a
4
Schedule that is unrelated to any Lease will begin on the Acceptance Date
for the related Financed Items and will continue for the period described
in the applicable Schedule.
(c) Automatic Extension of Lease Terms. As an accommodation to Lessee,
Lessor agrees to use its best efforts to provide written notice to Lessee
one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term
that an End-of-Term notice is due, provided, however, that the failure of
Lessor to provide Lessee with said notice shall not be deemed to have
relieved Lessee of any of its obligations or liabilities under this
Agreement. The Initial Term and any renewal term you and we may have
agreed to will be automatically extended for successive one month periods,
unless either party gives the other party sixty days prior written notice
that it intends to terminate the Lease at the end of the Initial Term, at
the end of the applicable renewal term or during the month-to-month
automatic extension period. For each calendar month that the Initial Term
or applicable renewal term is automatically extended under this Section
3(c), you will pay Rent on a monthly basis in an amount equal to the
monthly Rent payment in effect immediately prior to the extension (or the
appropriate pro rata portion of the Rent payment then in effect in the case
of Rent otherwise payable other than on a monthly basis), and all other
provisions of this Agreement will continue to apply. Notwithstanding any of
the provisions of this Section 3 to the contrary, if any Lessee Default or
Potential Lessee Default has occurred and is continuing at any time during
the last 90 days of the then applicable term of any Lease, we may cancel
any renewal term or automatic extension of the then applicable term
immediately upon written notice to you. Upon a termination, the Equipment
then subject to such Lease must be returned to us in accordance with
Section 8 of this Agreement.
4. RENT; LATE CHARGES; ADVANCE RENT. As rent for the Equipment under any Lease
and as payment of principal and interest under any Financing (in either case,
"Rent"), you agree to pay the amounts specified in the applicable Schedule on
the due dates specified in the applicable Schedule. You agree to pay us interest
on any Rent payment or other amount due under this Agreement that is not paid
within 10 days of its due date, at the Overdue Rate set forth in the relevant
Schedule (or the lesser rate that is the maximum rate allowable under applicable
law). You will pay to us, with respect to each Lease or Financing, the Rent to
be paid by you in advance of the Acceptance Date for the related Equipment
("Advance Rent"), if any, specified in the applicable Schedule. Any payment of
Advance Rent will be credited against the first Rent payment payable by you
under the applicable Schedule and any excess Advance Rent will be credited,
without interest, against the last Rent payment(s) payable by you with respect
to the Initial Term of the applicable Lease and/or the Term of the applicable
Financing. Advance Rent will be refunded to you without interest only if we
decline to sign the applicable Schedule. All payments to us under any Schedule
will be made in the currency and sent to our local address specified in that
Schedule.
5. LEASES AND FINANCINGS NON-CANCELABLE; NET LEASES; WAIVER OF DEFENSES TO
PAYMENT. IT IS SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT EACH LEASE AND
FINANCING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE NON-CANCELABLE AND THAT EACH LEASE UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT IS A NET LEASE (/I.E./, AMONG OTHER THINGS, YOU PAY, IN ADDITION
TO RENT, THE TAXES, INSURANCE AND MAINTENANCE CHARGES RELATING TO THE EQUIPMENT
THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF SUCH LEASE). YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE AN ABSOLUTE AND
UNCONDITIONAL OBLIGATION TO PAY ALL RENT AND OTHER AMOUNTS WHEN DUE. YOU ARE NOT
ENTITLED TO XXXXX OR REDUCE RENT OR ANY OTHER AMOUNT DUE, OR TO SET OFF ANY
CHARGE AGAINST ANY SUCH AMOUNT. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY RECOUPMENT, CROSS-CLAIM,
COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER DEFENSE AT LAW
5
OR IN EQUITY TO ANY RENT PAYMENT OR OTHER AMOUNT DUE WITH RESPECT TO ANY LEASE
OR FINANCING, WHETHER ANY SUCH DEFENSE ARISES OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY
SCHEDULE, ANY CLAIM BY YOU AGAINST US, OUR ASSIGNEES OR SUPPLIER (AS DEFINED IN
SECTION 7), OR OTHERWISE (OTHER THAN THE DEFENSE OF ACCORD AND SATISFACTION). IF
THE EQUIPMENT OR ANY FINANCED ITEM IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, DOES NOT OPERATE
OR INTEGRATE AS REPRESENTED OR WARRANTED BY SUPPLIER OR FAILS OR IS
UNSATISFACTORY FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, YOU WILL MAKE ANY CLAIM ON ACCOUNT OF
THOSE ISSUES SOLELY AGAINST SUPPLIER AND WILL NEVERTHELESS PAY ALL SUMS DUE WITH
RESPECT TO EACH LEASE AND EACH FINANCING.
6. ASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASE DOCUMENTS. You assign to us all of your right,
title and interest in and to (a) the Equipment described in each Schedule, and
(b) any purchase order, contract, xxxx of sale, license agreement, invoice
and/or other documents that you have, at any time, approved, agreed to be bound
by or entered into with any Supplier of such Equipment relating to such
Equipment (the "Purchase Documents"). Such assignment of the Purchase
Documents is an assignment of rights only; nothing in this Agreement will be
deemed to have relieved you of any obligation or liability under any of the
Purchase Documents, except that, as between you and us, we agree to pay for the
Equipment within 15 days after your delivery to us of a properly completed and
signed Acceptance Certificate (or APA Acceptance Certificate) and all other
documentation reasonable necessary to establish your acceptance of such
Equipment under the related Lease. You represent and warrant that you have
reviewed and approved the Purchase Documents. In addition, if we request you
will deliver to us an assignment of purchase order or other similar document
reasonably acceptable to both parties by which the seller of Equipment and
provider of Financed Items specified in the applicable Schedule ("Seller")
acknowledges and provides any required consent to such assignment. For the
avoidance of doubt, you covenant and agree that you will at all times during the
aggregate term of each Lease (including any renewal term(s) or automatic
extension(s)) ("Total Term") comply with the terms of any license agreement
relating to any Equipment leased under that Lease. IT IS ALSO SPECIFICALLY
UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT NEITHER SUPPLIER NOR ANY SALESPERSON OF SUPPLIER IS
OUR AGENT, NOR ARE THEY AUTHORIZED TO WAIVE OR ALTER ANY TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY SCHEDULE.
7. ASSIGNMENT OF SUPPLIER WARRANTIES. To the extent permitted, we assign to
you, for the Total Term of any Lease, all Equipment warranties provided by any
Seller and manufacturer or licensor of such Equipment, individually and
collectively, and the Seller of Financed Items ("Supplier") in the applicable
Purchase Documents. You will have the right to take any action you deem
appropriate to enforce such warranties provided such enforcement is pursued in
your name and at your expense. If you are precluded from enforcing any such
warranty in your name, we will, upon your request, take reasonable steps to
enforce such warranty. In such circumstances, you will, within 15 days after
receipt of our written demand, reimburse us for all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by us in enforcing the Supplier warranty. Any recovery resulting from
any such enforcement efforts will be divided between you and us as our interests
may appear.
8. EQUIPMENT RETURN REQUIREMENTS. On or before the last day of the Total Term
of each Lease (and any other time you are required to return Equipment to us
under the terms of this Agreement or any Schedule), you will pack the Equipment
to be returned to us in accordance with the Supplier's guidelines and deliver
such Equipment to us at any destination reasonably designated by us. When you
return the Equipment to us, you also must return all copies of any Software
(including any certificate of authenticity, end user license agreement, any CD-
ROM, diskettes or other media relating to the Software
6
and any other materials delivered with the Software) to us. All dismantling,
packaging, transportation, in-transit insurance and shipping charges will be
borne by you. All Equipment must be returned to us in the same condition and
working order as when delivered to you, reasonable wear and tear excepted and
must qualify for maintenance service by the Supplier at its then standard rates
for Equipment of that age, if available. You will be responsible for, and will
reimburse us promptly on demand for, any cost incurred by us to qualify the
Equipment for the Supplier's maintenance service or, if not available, to return
the Equipment to good working condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
9. EQUIPMENT USE AND MAINTENANCE. You are solely responsible for the
selection, installation, operation and maintenance of the Equipment and all
costs related to such selection, installation, operation and maintenance,
including shipping charges. You agree at all times to operate and maintain the
Equipment in good working order, repair, condition and appearance, ordinary wear
and tear excepted, and in accordance with the Supplier's specifications and
recommendations. On reasonable prior written notice to you, we and our agents
will have the right, during your normal business hours and subject to Lessee's
reasonable security and confidentiality requirements, to enter the premises
where the Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting the Equipment and
observing its use. If we have provided to you any tags or identifying labels,
you will, at your expense, affix and maintain them in a prominent position on
each item of Equipment to indicate our ownership of the Equipment. Except in
the case of personal computers (/e.g/., workstations, desktops and notebooks)
and related items of peripheral equipment (/e.g/., monitors, printers and
docking stations) and Software, you will, at your expense, enter into and
maintain and enforce at all times during the Total Term of each Lease a
maintenance agreement to service and maintain the related Equipment, upon terms
and with a provider reasonably acceptable to us.
10. EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP; LIENS; LOCATION. As between you and us, we are the
sole owner of the Equipment and have sole title to it. You agree that you will
not make any representation to any third-party inconsistent with our sole
ownership of the Equipment. You agree that you will not pledge or encumber the
Equipment or our interest in the Equipment in any way and will keep the
Equipment free of all levies, security interests, liens or encumbrances, except
those created by or through us. The Equipment will remain our personal property
whether or not affixed to realty and will not become a fixture or be made to
become a part of any real property on which it is placed without our prior
written consent. You agree to maintain the Equipment so that it may be removed
from any building in which it is placed without any damage to the building or
the Equipment. You may relocate any Equipment from the Equipment Location
specified in the applicable Schedule to another of your business locations
within the same country upon prior written notice to us specifying the new
Equipment Location, provided you remain in possession and control of the
Equipment. "Equipment Location" means, as to any Equipment, the address at
which such Equipment is located from time to time, as originally specified in
the applicable Schedule and as subsequently specified in any notice delivered to
us pursuant to this Section 10, if applicable.
11. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS TO EQUIPMENT. You will not make any alterations
or additions to the Equipment, except those that (a) will not void any warranty
made by the Supplier of the Equipment, result in the creation of any security
interest, lien or encumbrance on the Equipment or impair the value or use of the
Equipment either at the time made or at the end of the Total Term of the
applicable Lease, and that are readily removable without damage to the Equipment
("Optional Additions"), or (b) are required by any applicable law, regulation or
order. All additions to the Equipment or repairs made to the Equipment, except
Optional Additions, become a part of the
7
Equipment, except Optional Additions, become a part of the Equipment and our
property at the time made; Optional Additions which have not been removed prior
to the return of the Equipment will become our property upon such return.
12. INSURANCE. You agree to keep the Equipment insured at your expense against
all risks of loss from any cause whatsoever, including without limitation, theft
and damage. You agree that such insurance will name us as a loss payee and cover
not less than the Stipulated Loss Value (as defined in Section 13) of the
Equipment. You also agree that you will carry commercial general liability
insurance in an amount specified in the Addendum for the applicable country and
cause us and our affiliates to be named additional insureds under such
insurance. Each policy will provide that the insurance cannot be canceled
without at least 30 days prior written notice to us. You agree to provide us
with certificates or other evidence of such insurance promptly when requested.
13. RISK OF LOSS. In the event any Equipment is condemned, taken, lost,
destroyed, stolen or damaged beyond repair ("Casualty Loss") prior to its return
to us, on the next Rent payment date you will, at your option, either (a) pay us
an amount ("Stipulated Loss Value") equal to the sum of (i) all Rent and other
amounts due and owing with respect to such Equipment as of the date of payment
of such amount, plus (ii) the Casualty Value of such Equipment, or (b)
substitute and replace each item of Equipment suffering the Casualty Loss with
an item of Equipment manufactured or licensed by the same manufacturer or
licensor that is substantially equivalent or better, has equal or greater
capabilities and equal or greater fair market value ("Substitute Equipment").
If you elect to pay the Stipulated Loss Value of Equipment suffering a Casualty
Loss, upon our receipt in full of such payment the applicable Lease will
terminate as it relates to such Equipment and, except as provided in Section 24,
you will be relieved of all obligations under the applicable Schedule as it
relates to such Equipment and title to such Equipment shall be assigned and
transferred to you "AS IS WHERE IS" free of all liens arising by or through
Lessor. If you elect to replace Equipment suffering a Casualty Loss with items
of Substitute Equipment (i) the applicable Lease will continue in full force and
effect without any abatement of Rent with such Substitute Equipment after such
replacement being deemed to be Equipment leased under such Lease, and (ii) you
will deliver to us a xxxx of sale or other documentation, in either case in form
and substance satisfactory to us, representing and warranting that you have
transferred to us good and marketable title to all Substitute Equipment, free
and clear of all security interests, liens, encumbrances and claims of others.
In the event of any repairable damage to any Equipment, the Lease will continue
with respect to that Equipment without any abatement of Rent and you will at
your expense promptly cause that Equipment to be repaired to the condition it is
required to be maintained in pursuant to Section 9. You agree to notify us of
any Casualty Loss or repairable damage to any Equipment as soon as reasonably
practicable after the date of any such occurrence. "Casualty Value" means, as
to any Equipment, an amount determined as of the date of the Casualty Loss or
Lessee Default in question pursuant to a "Table of Casualty Values" attached to
the applicable Schedule or, if no "Table of Casualty Values" is attached to the
applicable Schedule, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the present value as of
the date of the Casualty Loss or Lessee Default in question (discounted at (a)
with respect to Leases and Financings executed pursuant to the US Addendum
only,a rate of interest equal to the Two Year Treasury Note Yield as of the date
of commencement of the applicable Lease or Financing or (b) with respect to
Leases and Financings executed pursuant to any other Addenda, a rate of interest
equal to the applicable country's Two Year Swap Rate as of the commencement of
the applicable Lease or Financing (the "Discount Rate")) of all Rent payments
payable after such date through the scheduled date of expiration of the then
applicable term, plus (ii) the present value as of the date of the Casualty Loss
or Lessee Default in question (discounted at the Discount Rate from the
scheduled date of expiration of the then applicable term) of an amount
determined by multiplying the applicable casualty percentage specified below by
the Total Cost of such Equipment. The applicable casualty percentage will be
35% for Equipment having an Initial Term of less than 24 months; 30% for
Equipment having an Initial Term
8
of 24 months or greater, but less than 36 months; 25% for Equipment having an
Initial Term of 36 months or greater, but less than 48 months; and 20% for
Equipment having an Initial Term of 48 months or greater.
14. TAXES. We will report and pay all license and registration fees and all
taxes, fees, levies, imposts, duties, assessments, charges, customs duties and
withholdings of any nature whatsoever, however designated (including any value
added taxes, transfer, sales, use, gross receipts, business, occupation, excise,
personal property, real property, stamp duties or other taxes) ("Taxes") now or
after the date of this Agreement imposed or assessed by any governmental body,
agency or taxing authority upon the purchase, ownership, delivery, installation,
leasing, rental, use or sale of the Equipment, the Rent or other charges payable
under this Agreement, or otherwise upon or in connection with any Lease or
Financing, whether assessed on us or you, other than any such Taxes required by
law to be reported and paid by you. You agree to promptly reimburse us for all
such Taxes paid by us, together with any penalties or interest in connection
with such Taxes attributable to your acts or failure to act, excluding Taxes (a)
on or measured by our overall gross or net income or items of tax preference,
(b) attributable to the period after the return of Equipment under a Lease to
us, and (c) imposed as a result of a sale or other transfer by us of any portion
of our interest in any Lease or Financing or in any Equipment except for a sale
or other transfer to you or a sale or other transfer occurring after and during
the continuance of any Lessee Default.
15. GENERAL INDEMNITY. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless us, our
employees, officers, directors, agents and assignees and, if requested by us,
defend us, our employees, officers, directors, agents and assignees, from and
against any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses
(including, without limitation, court costs, witness fees and attorneys' fees),
damages, obligations, judgments, orders, penalties, fines, injuries, liabilities
and losses, including, without limitation, actions based upon our strict
liability in tort ("Claims") arising directly or indirectly out of or in
connection with any matter involving this Agreement, the Equipment or any Lease
or Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lessee be
required to indemnify Lessor from and against any Claims relating, directly, to
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or any of its assignees
under Section 22 of the Agreement.
16. COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT. So long as no Lessee Default or Potential
Lessee Default has occurred and is continuing, neither we nor any party acting
or claiming through us, by assignment or otherwise, will disturb your quiet
enjoyment of the Equipment during the Total Term of the related Lease.
17. DISCLAIMERS AND YOUR WAIVERS. YOU LEASE THE EQUIPMENT FROM US "AS IS, WHERE
IS". IT IS SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT (A) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET
FORTH IN SECTION 16, WE MAKE ABSOLUTELY NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES
WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS, OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE DESIGN, COMPLIANCE WITH
SPECIFICATIONS, QUALITY, OPERATION, OR CONDITION OF ANY EQUIPMENT OR FINANCED
