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 24,
1998*. Lessor will not perform a Sale-Leaseback Transaction for
anyrequest or accompanying Equipment ownership documents for
in-place Equipment as of the date hereof which arrives after the
date marked above by an asterisk (*). Additional Sale-Leaseback
financings after the date hereof will be handled on a case by case
basis. 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 6/28/97 and 3/25/98 100%
(iii) USED ON-ORDER EQUIPMENT. Lessor will purchase used Equipment which

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, 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 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 12% of the Equipment cost 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 at least thirty (30) days before 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.
If the parties are unable to agree on the purchase price or the terms and
conditions with respect to said purchase, then the Summary Equipment Schedule
with respect to this Equipment shall remain in full force and effect.
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.
5. TECHNOLOGY EXCHANGE OPTION
If Lessee is not in default, 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.
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.
6. OPTION AMOUNT
So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and
upon Lessee's request, subject to final review by Lessor, Lessor agrees to
provide to Lessee an additional $600,000.00 of Equipment upon rates and terms to
be negotiated.

ISSUABLE HEREUNDER OR ANY SHARES INTO WHICH SUCH SHARES ARE CONVERTIBLE,

NO. C-1 35,986 SHARES
SILICON VALLEY INTERNET PARTNERS
WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK
THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, COMDISCO, INC. (the "REGISTERED
HOLDER"), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter
set forth, to subscribe for and purchase from Silicon Valley Internet Partners,
a California corporation with principal offices at 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx,
Xxxxxx, XX 00000 (the "COMPANY"), at any time until March 25, 2008 (the
"EXPIRATION DATE") shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock (the "SERIES
C PREFERRED") as follows: This Warrant will be exercisable for a total of
Thirty-Five Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty-Six (35,986) fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Series C Preferred at a price per share equal to $3.625
(the "EXERCISE PRICE"), subject to the provisions and upon the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth.
If all of the Series C Preferred Stock is converted into shares of Common
Stock in connection with a registration of the Company's Common Stock under the
Act, then this Warrant shall automatically become exercisable for that number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that would
have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the shares of
Series C Preferred Stock received thereupon had been simultaneously converted
into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such event, and the Exercise
Price shall be
automatically adjusted to equal the amount obtained by dividing (i) the
aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares for which this Warrant was exercisable
immediately prior to such conversion, by (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such conversion.
1. Method of Exercise: Payment.
(a) Cash Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant
may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, from time to time by: (i)
the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form (the "NOTICE OF
EXERCISE") attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed) at the principal office
of the Company; (ii) the execution of a Series C Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement and all exhibits thereto, including without limitation an Amended and
Restated Shareholder Rights Agreement, Amended and Restated Voting Agreement,
and Amended and Restated Co-Sale Agreement (collectively, the "Series C
Transaction Documents"); and (iii) by the payment to the Company of an amount
equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of the Shares being
purchased, which amount may be paid, at the election of the Holder, by wire
transfer or certified check payable to the order of the Company. The person or
persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s) representing Shares shall be
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the
holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder(s) of, the Shares represented thereby (and such Shares shall be deemed to
have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the date or
dates upon which this Warrant is exercised.
(b) Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant
to Section 1(a) hereof, the Holder may elect to receive a number of Shares equal
to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being
canceled) by surrender of this Warrant and the fully executed Series C
Transaction Documents at the principal office of the Company, together with the
Notice of Exercise in which alternative No. 1 is initiated by the Holder. In
such event, the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Shares computed
using the following formula:
X=Y (A-B)/A
Where X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the number of Shares subject to this warrant.
A = the fair market value of one share of the Company's Series C Preferred
Stock.
B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
(c) Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 2, the fair
market value of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock shall mean:
2
(i) The average of the closing bid and asked prices of the
Company's Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the
closing price quoted on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed,
whichever is applicable, as published in the Western Edition of The Wall Street
Journal for the ten (10) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair
market value multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each
share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible;
(ii) If the Company's Common Stock is not traded
Over-The-Counter or on an exchange, the fair market value of the Series C
Preferred Stock per share shall be the price per share which the Company could
obtain from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares sold
by the Company from authorized but unissued shares of Series C Preferred Stock
as such price shall be agreed by the parties hereto, or if agreement cannot be
reached within five (5) business days of delivery of the notice pursuant to
Section 1(b) hereof, as shall be determined by a panel of appraisers. One
appraiser shall be selected by the Holder, one appraiser shall be chosen by the
Company and the third appraiser shall be chosen by the first two appraisers. If
the appraisers cannot reach agreement as to the fair market value on the
foregoing basis on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the Holder's
notice of election pursuant to Section 1(b), then each appraiser shall deliver
its appraisal and the appraisal which is neither the highest nor the lowest
shall be the fair market value of a share of Series C Preferred Stock. In the
event that the Holder fails to choose an appraiser or the three appraisers fail
to deliver an appraisal on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after such notice,
the appraisal of the appraiser selected by the Company shall control and shall
be fair market value for the purposes of this Warrant. The cost of the appraiser
selected by each party shall be borne by that party and the cost of the third
appraiser shall be borne one-half (1/2) by each party. Appraisers selected under
this Section 1(c) must be unaffiliated with the Holder and the Company and must
have reasonable professional qualifications for the appraisal.
(d) Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant, certificates for the Shares so purchased shall be
delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, and in no event later than
thirty (30) days thereafter, and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised
or has expired, a new Warrant representing the Shares with respect to which this
Warrant shall not have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within
such time.
(e) Condition of Exercise Unless exercised pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Act which includes the Shares so exercised, it
shall be a condition to any exercise of this Warrant that the Company shall have
received, at the time of such exercise, a representation in writing from the
Holder in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, that the Shares being issued
upon exercise are being acquired for investment and not with a view to any sale
or distribution thereof, other than pursuant to an exemption.
2. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind
of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price
therefor shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events, as follows:
3
(a) Stock Splits, Dividends and Combinations. In the event that the
Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred
Stock, or shall issue a stock dividend on its outstanding shares of Series C
Preferred Stock, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such subdivision or to the issuance of such stock dividend
shall be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately decreased, and in the event that the Company shall at any time
combine the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the number of Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination
shall be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the date of
such subdivision, stock dividend or combination, as the case may be.
(b) Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to time there
shall be a recapitalization of the Series C Preferred Stock (other than a
subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for
elsewhere in this Section 3), provision shall be made so that the Holder of this
Warrant will thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant the
number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company to
which a Holder of Series C Preferred Stock would have been entitled on such
recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
application of the provisions of this Section 3 with respect to the rights of
the Holder of this Warrant after the recapitalization to the end that the
provisions of this Section 3 (including adjustment of the Exercise Price then in
effect and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be
applicable after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be
practicable.
(c) Merger. If at any time there shall be a capital reorganization
of the shares of the Company's stock (other than a combination,
reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for
herein), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation, whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation, other than
as provided for in Section 9 herein (a "Merger Event"), then as a part of such
Merger Event, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter
be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, the number of shares of
stock or other securities of the successor corporation resulting from such
Merger Event, equivalent in value to that which would have been issuable if
Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the Merger Event. In any
such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's
Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this
Warrant with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder after the Merger
Event to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustments of
the Exercise Price and number of Shares purchasable) shall be applicable to the
greatest extent possible.
(d) Notices. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price and any
increase or decrease in the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant in accordance with Section 2 hereof, then, and in each such case,
the Company, within thirty (30) days thereafter, shall give written notice
thereof to the Holder at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the
Company which notice shall state the Exercise Price as adjusted and, if
applicable, the increased or decreased number of Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation of each. Any written notice by the Company required or
4
permitted hereunder shall be given by hand delivery or first class mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address shown on the books of the
Company for the Holder.
3. Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) Holder agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion
of the Shares or the Warrant unless and until:
(i) There is then in effect a registration statement under the
1933 Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such registration statement; or
(ii) Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed
disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of
the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and the transferee has
agreed in writing to be bound by this Section 4. If reasonably requested by the
Company, Holder shall furnish the Company with an opinion of counsel (which may
be inside or outside counsel), reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such
disposition will not require registration of such shares under the 1933 Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions imposed upon the transferability
of any of the Shares or rights to acquire Shares do not apply to transfers from
the beneficial owner of any of the aforementioned securities to its nominee or
from such nominee to its beneficial owners, and shall terminate as to any
particular Shares when a letter shall have been issued to Holder at its request
by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission or a ruling shall have
been issued to the Holder at its request by such Commission stating that no
action shall be recommended by such staff or taken by such Commission, as the
case may be, if such security is transferred without registration under the 1933
Act in accordance with the conditions set forth in such letter or ruling and
such letter or ruling specifies that no subsequent restrictions on transfer are
required. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for
transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.
(b) Notwithstanding the above, the Shares shall also be subject to
all restrictions on transfer set forth in the Series C Transaction Documents,
including without limitation a one hundred eighty (180) day market-standoff
period upon the Company's initial public offering, in accordance with Section 12
of the Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Agreement.
4. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued
in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares
the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise
Price then in effect.
5. Representations and Warranties by the Company.
(a) Due Authority. The execution and delivery by the Company of this
Warrant and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder,
including the issuance to Holder of the right to acquire Shares, have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part
5
of the Company. This Warrant is consistent with the Company's Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation, and does not contravene any law or
governmental rule, regulation or order applicable to it, and does 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. This Warrant constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the
Company, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms.
(b) Stock Fully Paid: Reservation of Shares. All of the Shares
issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon
issuance and receipt of the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and
nonassessable, and free from all preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or
first offer (except as set forth in the Series C transaction documents), taxes,
liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. During the period within
which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company shall
at all times have authorized and reserved for issuance sufficient shares of its
Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant. The Company has made available to the Holder
true, correct and complete copies of its Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation ("Charter") and Bylaws, as amended. The issuance of certificates
for shares of Shares upon exercise of the Warrant shall be made without charge
to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof, or other cost incurred by
the Company in connection with such exercise and the related issuance of shares
of Shares.
(c) Consents and Approvals. No consent or approval of, giving of
notice to, registration with, or taking of any other action in respect of any
state, Federal or other governmental authority or agency is required with
respect to the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its
obligations under this Warrant, except for the filing of notices pursuant to
Regulation D under the 1933 Act and any filing required by applicable state
securities law, which filings shall be made by the time required thereby.
(d) Holder's Additional Rights. The Series C Preferred Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall have anti-dilution rights,
registration rights, and information rights substantially identical to those
rights set forth in the Series C Transaction Documents.
(e) Other Commitments to Register Securities. Except as set forth in
the Series C Transaction Documents, the Company is not, pursuant to the terms of
any other agreement currently in existence, under any obligation to register
under the Act any of its presently outstanding securities or any of its
securities which may hereafter be issued.
(f) Compliance with Rule 144. At the written request of the Holder,
who proposes to sell Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant in
compliance with Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
the Company shall furnish to the Holder, within thirty (30) days after receipt
of such request, a written statement confirming the Company's compliance with
the filing requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission as set forth
in such Rule, as such Rule may be amended from time to time.
6
6. Representations and Warranties by the Holder. Holder represents and
warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) This Warrant is being acquired for Holder's own account, for
investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Act, and the
Holder has no present intention of selling or engaging in any public
distribution thereof except pursuant to a registration or exemption.
(b) Holder understands that the Warrant and the Shares have not been
registered under the Act by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt
from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act pursuant
to Section 4(2) thereof, and that they must be held by Holder indefinitely, and
that Holder must therefore bear the economic risk of such investment
indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the
Act or is exempted from such registration. The Holder further understands that
the Shares have not been qualified under the California Securities Law of 1968
(the "CALIFORNIA LAW") by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from
the qualification requirements of the California Law pursuant to Section
25102(f) thereof, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona
fide nature of the Holder's investment intent expressed above.
(c) The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
purchase of this Warrant and the Shares purchasable pursuant to the terms of
this Warrant and of protecting its interests in connection therewith.
(d) The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of
the Shares pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.
7. Rights of Shareholders. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon
Holder any of the rights of a Shareholder of the Company or any right to vote
for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to Shareholders at
any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action
(whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of
stock, change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or
to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or
otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable
upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.
8. Expiration of Warrant.
This Warrant shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable as of
the earlier of:
(a) 5:00 p.m., California local time, on March 25, 2008;
(b) five (5) years after the Company's initial public offering
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
7
(c) a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
corporation (other than a consolidation or merger with another corporation in
which the Company's Shareholders immediately preceding such consolidation or
merger own at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the
successor entity following such consolidation or merger and which does not
result in any reclassification of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant); or
(d) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
9. Antidilution Provision. Except with respect to those antidilution
provisions contained herein, the Shares issuable upon execution of this Warrant
shall be granted the same antidilution protection as the other holders of the
Shares. The Company shall promptly provide the Holder with any restatement,
amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter that materially affects the
rights, preferences and privileges of the Shares. The Company shall provide
Holder with prior written notice of any issuance of its stock or other equity
security that will implicate such antidilution provisions to occur after the
effective date of this Warrant, which notice shall include (a) the price at
which stock or security is to be sold, (b) the number of shares to be issued,
and (c) such other information as necessary for Holder to determine if a
dilutive event has occurred.
10. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Warrant is being delivered in the State of California and
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of
such State. The parties expressly stipulate that any litigation under this
Warrant shall be brought in the State courts of the Counties of Santa Xxxxx or
San Francisco, California and in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California. The parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction
and venue of those courts.
(b) In the event of any default hereunder, the non-defaulting party
may proceed to protect and enforce its rights either by suit in equity and/or by
action at law, including but not limited to an action for damages as a result of
any such default, and/or an action for specific performance for any default
where Holder will not have an adequate remedy at law and where damages will not
be readily ascertainable.
(c) The representations, warranties, covenants and conditions of the
respective parties contained herein or made pursuant to this Warrant shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Warrant.
(d) In any litigation, arbitration or court proceeding between the
Company and the Holder relating hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled
to attorney's fees and expenses and all costs of proceedings incurred in
enforcing this Warrant Agreement.
(e) The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only,
and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.
8
(f) The terms of this Warrant shall be binding upon and shall inure
to the benefit of any successors in interest or assignees of the Company or the
Holder. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are not assignable or transferable
by Company or Holder, except for such permitted transfers to successors in
interest and in accordance with Section 4 herein, and any attempt to assign or
transfer the rights hereunder shall be void and of no further effect.
(g) This Warrant and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto,
including without limitation the Series C Transaction Documents, constitute the
full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to
the subjects hereof and thereof.
(h) The Company shall not, by amendment of its Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation, or through any other means, directly or indirectly,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant and shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against
impairment.
(i) Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company
of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case
of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement
reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any
such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at
its expense will execute and deliver to the holder of record, in lieu thereof, a
new Warrant of like date and tenor.
(j) The Company, upon execution of this Warrant, shall provide the
Holder with certified resolutions with respect to the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in the Section labeled "Representations and
Warranties by the Company." The Company shall also supply such other documents
as the Holder may from time to time reasonably request.
(k) This Warrant and any provision hereof may be amended, waived or
terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and Holder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be signed by
its duly authorized officer.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
PURCHASER : COMDISCO, INC.
COMPANY : SILICON VALLEY INTERNET PARTNERS
SECURITY : SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK ISSUED UPON EXERCISE OF
THE SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
ISSUED ON MARCH 25, 1998
AMOUNT : _________ SHARES
DATE : _______________, ______
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, I, the
Purchaser, represent to the Company the following:
(a) I am aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition,
and have acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed
and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. I am purchasing these
Securities for my own account for investment purposes only and not with a view
to, or for the resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof for
purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") except
pursuant to a registration of exemption.
(b) I understand that the Securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption
depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of my investment intent
as expressed herein. In this connection, I understand that, in the view of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the statutory basis for such
exemption may be unavailable if my representation was predicated solely upon a
present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period
specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or
decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or
any other fixed period in the future.
(c) I further understand that the Securities must be held indefinitely
unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption
from registration is otherwise available. Moreover, I understand that the
Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. In addition, I
understand that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with
a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are
registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for
the Company.
(d) I am familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the
Securities Act, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of
"restricted securities" acquired, directly or
indirectly, from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions.
The Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to
the provisions of Rule 144, which requires among other things: (1) the
availability of certain public information about the Company, (2) the resale
occurring not less than one year, and in some circumstances two years, after the
party has held, within the meaning of Rule 144, the securities to be sold; and,
in the case of an affiliate, or of a non-affiliate who has held the securities
less than two years, and in some circumstances three years, (3) the sale being
made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in
transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and the amount of securities being sold during
any three month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated therein,
if applicable.
(e) I agree, in connection with the Company's initial underwritten public
offering of the Company's securities, (1) not to sell, make short sale of, loan,
grant any options for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of
Common Stock of the Company held by me (other than those shares included in the
registration) without the prior written consent of the Company or the
underwriters managing such initial underwritten public offering of the Company's
securities for one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of such
registration, and (2) I further agree to execute any agreement reflecting (1)
above as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of the public
offering; provided however that the officers and directors of the Company who
own the stock of the Company also agree to such restrictions.
(f) I further understand that in the event all of the applicable
requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities
Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be
required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the
Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell
private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise
than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in
establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or
sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in
such transactions do so at their own risk.
