Master Lease # SL7083471
Lessor agrees to lease to Lessee and Lessee agrees to lease from Lessor, subject
to the following terms of this Master Lease Agreement ("Master Lease") and any
Lease Schedule ("Schedule"), collectively referred to as the Lease ("Lease"),
the personal property described in any Schedule together with all attachments,
replacements, parts, substitutions, additions, upgrades, accessories, software
licenses and operating manuals (the "Product"). Each Schedule shall constitute a
separate, distinct, and independent Lease and contractual obligation of Lessee.
1. COMMENCEMENT DATE AND TERM
The initial lease term ("Initial Term") and Lessee's rental obligations shall
begin on the Commencement Date and continue for file number of Rental Periods
specified in the Lease as set forth in Section 2 below and shall renew
automatically thereafter until terminated by either party upon not less than
ninety (90) days prior written notice. The Commencement Date with respect to
each item of Product shall be the 16th day after date of shipment to Lessee.
2. RENT AND RENTAL PERIOD
All rental payments and any other amounts payable under a Lease, are
collectively referred to as "Rent". The Rental Period shall mean the rental
payment period of either calendar months, quarters, or as otherwise specified in
each Schedule. Rent for the specified Rental Period is due and payable in
advance, to the address specified in Lessor's invoice, on the first day of each
Rental Period during the Initial Term and any extension (collectively, the
"Lease Term"), provided, however, that Rent for the period of time (if any) from
the Commencement Date to the first day of the first Rental Period shall begin to
accrue on the Commencement Date. If any Rent is not paid when due, Lessee will
pay a service fee equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount plus interest
at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum legal
interest rate, whichever is less.
3. NET LEASE, TAXES AND FEES
Each Schedule shall constitute a net lease and payment of Rent shall be absolute
and unconditional, and shall not be subject to any abatement, reduction, set
off, defense, counterclaim, interruption, deferment or recoupment for any reason
whatsoever. Lessee agrees to pay Lessor when due shipping charges, fees,
assessments and all taxes (municipal, state and federal) imposed upon a Lease or
the Product or its ownership, leasing, renting, possession or use except for
taxes based on Lessor's income.
4. TITLE
Product shall always remain personal property. Lessee shall have no right or
interest in the Product except as provided in this Master Lease and the
applicable Schedule and shall hold the Product subject and subordinate to the
rights of Lessor. Lessee agrees to execute UCC financing statements as and when
requested by Lessor and hereby appoints Lessor as its attorney-in-fact to
execute such financing statements. Lessor may file a photocopy of any Lease as a
financing statement.
Lessee will, at its expense, keep the Product free and clear from any liens or
encumbrances of any kind (except any caused by Lessor) and will indemnify and
hold Lessor harmless from and against any loss or expense caused by Lessee's
failure to do so. Lessee shall give Lessor immediate written notice of any
attachment or judicial process affecting the Product or Lessor's ownership. If
requested, Lessee will label the Product as the property of Lessor and shall
allow, subject to Lessee's reasonable security requirements, the inspection of
the Product during regular business hours.
5. USE, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Lessee, at its own expense, shall keep the Product in good repair, appearance
and condition, other than normal wear and tear and shall obtain and keep in
effect throughout the term of the Schedule a hardware and software maintenance
agreement with the manufacturer or other party acceptable to Lessor. All parts
furnished in connection with such repair and maintenance shall be manufacturer
authorized parts and shall immediately become components of the Product and the
property of Lessor. Lessee shall use the Product in compliance with the
manufacturer's or supplier's suggested guidelines.
6. DELIVERY AND RETURN OF PRODUCT
Lessee assumes the full expense of transportation, insurance, and installation
to Lessee's site. Upon termination of each Schedule, Lessee will provide Lessor
a letter from the manufacturer certifying that the Product is in good operating
condition and is eligible for continued maintenance and that the operating
system is at the then current level, unless under a Sun service contract during
the Lease Term. Lessee, at its expense, shall deinstall, pack and ship the
Product to a U.S. location identified by Lessor. Lessee shall remain obligated
to pay Rent on the Product until the Product and certification are received by
Lessor.
7. ASSIGNMENT AND RELOCATION
Lessee may sublease or assign its rights under this agreement with Lessor's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
subject, however, to any terms and conditions which Lessor may require. No
permitted assignment or sublease shall relieve Lessee of any of its obligations
hereunder.
Lessee acknowledges Lessor may sell and/or assign its interest or grant a
security interest in each Lease and/or the Product to an assignee ("Lessor's
Assignee"), so long as Lessee is not in default hereunder. Lessor or Lessor's
Assignee shall not interfere with Lessee's right of quiet enjoyment and use of
the Product. Upon the assignment of each Lease, Lessor's Assignee shall have any
and all discretions, rights and remedies of Lessor and all references to Lessor
shall mean Lessor's Assignee. In no event shall any assignee of Lessor be
obligated to perform any duty, covenant or condition under this Lease and Lessee
agrees it shall pay such assignee without any defense, rights of set-off or
counterclaims and shall not hold or attempt to hold such assignee liable for any
of Lessor's obligations hereunder.
Lessee, at its expense, may relocate Product (after packing it for shipment in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions) to a different address with
thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessor. The Product shall at all times
be used solely within the United States.

removed without causing material damage to the Product, (ii) do not reduce the
value of the Product and (iii) are obtained from or approved by Sun
Microsystems Computer Corporation and are not subject to the interest of any
third party other than Lessor. Any other Additions may not be installed without
Lessor's prior written consent. At the end of the Schedule Term, Lessee shall
remove any Additions which (i) were not leased by Lessor and (ii) are readily
removable without causing material damage or impairment of the intended
function, use, or value of the Product and restore the Product to its original
configuration. Any Additions which are not so removable will become the Lessor's
property (lien free).
9. LEASE END OPTIONS
Upon written notice given at least ninety (90) days prior to expiration of the
Lease Term, and provided Lessee is not in default under any Schedule, Lessee may
(i) exercise any purchase option set forth on the Schedule, or (ii) renew the
Schedule for a minimum extension period of twelve (12) months, or (iii) return
the Product to Lessor at the expiration date of the Schedule pursuant to Section
6 above.
10. INSURANCE, LOSS OR DAMAGE
Effective upon shipment of Product to Lessee and until Product is received by
Lessor, Lessee shall provide at its expense (i) insurance against the loss or
theft or damage to the Product for the full replacement value, and (ii)
insurance against public liability and property damage. Lessee shall provide a
certificate of insurance that such coverage is in effect, upon request by
Lessor, naming Lessor as loss payee and/or additional insured as may be
required.
Lessee shall bear the entire risk of loss, theft, destruction of or damage to
any item of Product. No loss or damage shall relieve Lessee of the obligation to
pay Rent or any other obligation under the Schedule. In the event of loss or
damage, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor and shall, at Lessor's option, (i)
place the Product in good condition and repair, or (ii) replace the Product with
lien free Product of the same model, type and configuration in which case the
relevant Schedule shall continue in full force and effect and clear title in
such Product shall automatically vest in Lessor, or (iii) pay Lessor the present
value of remaining Rent plus the buyout purchase option price provided for in
the applicable Schedule.
11. SELECTION, WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Lessee acknowledges that it has selected the Product and disclaims any reliance
upon statements made by Lessor. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that use and
possession of the Product by Lessee shall be subject to and controlled by the
terms of any manufacturer's or, if appropriate, supplier' warranty, and Lessee
