Exhibit 10.25
FIRST ADDENDUM TO MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT
DATED AS OF MARCH 31, 1999
BETWEEN
GATX CAPITAL CORPORATION
AND
RHYTHMS NETCONNECTIONS INC.
Dated as of March 31, 1999
This First Addendum amends the Master Lease Agreement, dated as of
March 31, 1999 (the "Lease"), between GATX Capital Corporation and Rhythms
NetConnections Inc. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the respective meanings given thereto in the Lease.
1. FINANCING.
(a) COMMITMENT. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in paragraph 2 below and on the basis set forth in this paragraph, Lessor has
agreed to provide up to $26,500,000 of lease financing to Lessee. The funding of
each Lease Order is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
paragraph 3 below. Lessor's commitment to finance Equipment under this Addendum,
shall terminate on the date (the "Commitment Termination Date") that is the same
day of the month in the fifteenth month following the date hereof.
(b) TERM AND LEASE RATE FACTOR. The Initial Term of each Lease Order
financed under this Addendum shall be 36 months and the rental for the initial
Lease Order under this Addendum during the six-month period following the
funding of such initial Lease Order and for each subsequent Lease Order funded
during such six-month period shall be payable in accordance with Section 4 of
the Lease in an amount on each Rent Payment Date equal to the amount funded
under the applicable Lease Order multiplied by 3.0% (the "Lease Rate Factor").
The Lease Rate Factor for all Lease Orders funded following such six-month
period will be determined by calculating a new Lease Rate Factor using as the
implicit interest rate for such Lease Rate Factor the U.S. Treasury note rate
for notes having a 36 month term as quoted in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL on the
date of preparation of the first such Lease Order funded during such subsequent
period; provided, however, that no such adjustment shall be made unless and
until such U.S. Treasury rate shall have increased by more than 25 basis points
above the rate in effect on the date hereof.
(c) END OF TERM OPTIONs. Provided that the Lease has not been
terminated and that no Event of Default or event which, with notice or lapse of
time or both, would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, not more than 180 days and not less than 120 days prior to the
expiration of the Initial Term of each Lease Order funded under this Addendum,
by written notice to Lessor, Lessee shall irrevocably elect either the option
under clause (i) or a combination of the options under clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) within the parameters set forth therein:
(i) Lessee may elect to purchase Equipment (excluding Soft
Cost Equipment, as defined in Paragraph 1(d)) having an original total
cost (determined with reference to the Equipment Addendum to the
applicable Lease Order) equal to at least 70% of the aggregate total
cost of the Equipment under such Lease Order for a purchase price equal
to the "Fair Market Value" (as defined below) thereof as of the end of
the Initial Term of such Schedule, but such amount shall not be less
1
than fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate total amount originally
funded with respect to the Equipment being purchased, nor more than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate total amount originally
funded with respect to the Equipment being purchased, under such Lease
Order, plus any applicable sales or other transfer tax.
(ii) Lessee may elect to return either (i) one hundred percent
(100%) of the Equipment (other than Soft Cost Equipment, as defined in
Paragraph 1(d)), or (ii) Equipment (other than Soft Cost Equipment, as
defined in Paragraph 1(d)) having an original total cost (determined
with reference to the Equipment Addendum to the applicable Lease Order)
equal to not more than thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate total cost
of the Equipment subject to such Lease Order, in each case in the
condition required by the Lease.
(iii) Lessee may elect to renew the Lease with respect to any
Equipment not purchased or returned at the end of Initial Term of the
applicable Lease Order, for not less than twelve (12) months or the
remainder of an item of Equipment's remaining useful life if shorter,
for a rent equal to the "Fair Rental Value" (as defined below) of such
item for such additional period, which rent shall be paid monthly in
advance. At the end of the renewal term, Lessee shall elect one of the
options set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph (c).
"Fair Market Value" shall mean the estimated amount, as of a certain
date, at which the Equipment subject to the Lease may reasonably be
valued in the marketplace by a buyer who could choose not to buy and a
seller who could choose not to sell. In the event that the parties
cannot agree on a Fair Market Value amount, an independent appraiser
(mutually acceptable to Lessor and Lessee) with knowledge of the
Equipment, appropriate certification and experience utilizing Fair
Market Value as defined shall be retained to render an opinion.
"Fair Rental Value" shall mean the estimated amount, as of a certain
date, at which the Equipment subject to the Lease may reasonably be
valued in the marketplace by a lessee who could choose not to lease and
a lessor who could choose not to lease. In the event that the parties
cannot agree on a Fair Rental Value amount, an independent appraiser
(mutually acceptable to Lessor and Lessee) with knowledge of the
Equipment, appropriate certification and experience utilizing Fair
Rental Value as defined shall be retained to render an opinion.
(d) PAYMENTS FOR SOFT COSTS. With respect to any Equipment which is
deemed by Lessor to be soft cost equipment, including without limitation
software, software development costs, tooling, tenant improvements, custom-built
equipment, cabling, installation or freight costs (collectively, and excluding
collocation space costs, "Soft Cost Equipment"), at the time of the final Rent
Payment Date under each Lease Order, Lessee shall make a payment (in addition to
any payment under Paragraph 1(c)(i) or under Paragraph 1(c)(ii) hereof) equal to
fifteen percent (15%) of the total cost of the Soft Cost Equipment subject to
such Lease Order, plus any applicable sales or other transfer tax.

THIS LANDLORD'S WAIVER AND CONSENT (this "Waiver"), dated as
of ____________, 199______, is executed by and between
__________________________________________________________

CORPORATION ("Lessor").
RECITALS

a ________________________________________________________________ [Lease
Agreement], dated as of ______________________________, 19_________ (together
with any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant relating to the Premises,
as defined below, all as amended from time to time, to be referred to herein
collectively as the "Lease"), pursuant to which Landlord has leased to Tenant

______________________________________________, and more particularly described
in ATTACHMENT 1 hereto (the "Premises").

Agreement, dated as of November 19, 1997, as amended (the "Credit Agreement")
pursuant to which Lessor has agreed or will agree to lease to Tenant from time
to time certain equipment (the "Equipment") which will be located on the
Premises.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, Landlord and Lessor hereby agree as follows:
1. WAIVER AND CONSENT. Landlord hereby consents to the location of the
Equipment on the Premises and does irrevocably waive, disclaim and relinquish
and assign to Lessor any and all rights to impose, receive, assert or enforce
any lien, encumbrance, charge, security interest, ownership interest, claim or
demand of any kind against or involving the Equipment, whether arising by common
law, statute or consensually (under the Lease or otherwise) and whether now in
existence or hereafter created, including, but not limited to, those for rent or
other right of payment. This waiver, disclaimer, relinquishment and assignment
shall survive the termination of the Lease. Landlord further agrees that (a)
neither the Equipment nor any item thereof shall become part of, or otherwise be
or become a fixture attached to, the Premises, notwithstanding the manner of the
Equipment's annexation, the Equipment's adaptability to the uses and purposes
for which the Premises are used, and the intentions of the party making the
annexation; (b) the Equipment (or any item thereof) may be repossessed by
Lessor; (c) in connection with such repossession or otherwise, Lessor, and any
of its agents and employees, may enter upon the Premises for the purposes of (i)
guarding and maintaining the Equipment (or any item thereof), (ii) showing the
Equipment (or any item thereof) to prospective lenders, buyers, lessees and
sublessees, as applicable, and any of their respective agents and employees,
(iii) preparing, disassembling, dismantling, loading and/or removing the
Equipment (or any item thereof), and (iv) general inspections of the Equipment
pursuant to the Credit Agreement; and (d) the right of Lessor to enter the
Premises and the other rights granted to Lessor in this Waiver shall not
terminate until thirty (30) days after Lessor receives written notice from
Landlord of the termination of the Lease. If Lessor should exercise its rights
hereunder (and the failure to exercise such rights shall not be construed as
1
a waiver thereof), Landlord agrees upon receiving prior written notice, to
provide ingress and egress to effect such exercise as well as provide reasonably
adequate space contiguous to the location of the Equipment to permit the
exercise of such rights. Landlord further agrees that Lessor has no obligation
to exercise any right granted to Lessor in this Waiver and that Lessor may elect
to remove only a portion or none of the Equipment from the Premises.
2. COSTS. Lessor agrees to indemnify and hold the Landlord harmless
from any out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord for any physical damage to the
Premises caused by Lessor solely from the exercise of its rights under clause
(b) or (c) of Paragraph 1 above.
3. LEASE DEFAULTS. Landlord further agrees to provide Lessor written
notice of any default or event of default under the Lease (each a "Default
Notice") simultaneously with the giving of notice of the same to Tenant or, if
no such notice is required under the Lease, at least thirty (30) days prior to
the date Landlord would be entitled to terminate the Lease. Each such notice
shall be sent to the address of Lessor set forth below the signature of Lessor
on the last page hereof or such other address as Lessor may from time to time
provide to Landlord, and shall be deemed delivered (i) in the case of notice by
letter, five (5) business days after deposited in the United States mail
registered and return receipt requested, (ii) in the case of notice by overnight
courier, two (2) business days after delivery to such courier and (iii) in the
case of notice given by telex or telecommunication, when given or sent with
electronic confirmation of receipt. During any time period when Tenant is in
default under the Lease, Lessor shall have the option, but not the obligation,
to cure any such default. Landlord shall accept such cure if it occurs within
thirty (30) days after Lessor has received the relevant Default Notice as fully
as if Tenant had fully performed its obligation under the Lease. Upon curing any
such default, Lessor shall be subrogated to the rights of Landlord against
Tenant and, as between Landlord and Tenant, such cured defaults shall no longer
exist.
4. LANDLORD'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Landlord hereby warrants
and represents to Lessor that (a) Landlord is the lessor under the Lease; (b)
there are no other agreements between the parties affecting or relating to the
Premises; (c) Landlord has all requisite power and authority to execute and
deliver this Waiver and no consents from any third party are required to do so;
(d) Landlord is the sole owner of the landlord's interest under the Lease and
has not conveyed, transferred or assigned any part of that interest to any other
person or entity; (e) no event of default (nor any event which with the passage
of time would constitute an event of default) has occurred under the Lease; (f)
there exists no litigation affecting title to the Premises or any adverse claim
with respect to the Premises of which Landlord has received notice; (g) there is
no condemnation proceeding pending with respect to any part of the Premises, nor
any threat thereof, of which the Landlord has received notice; (h) the Lease is
in full force and effect; and (i) the Premises are not subject to any mortgage
or other security interest in favor of any person which has not executed an
attornment agreement acceptable to Lessor with respect to this Waiver.
5. MISCELLANEOUS. This Waiver and all rights hereby granted to Lessor
hereunder shall remain in effect so long as there are any obligations owing by
Tenant under the Credit Agreement or any present or future agreement between
Tenant and Lessor which involves the Equipment. All the terms and provisions of
this Waiver shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the respective
successors and assigns of Landlord and Lessor, and Landlord covenants and agrees
that any assignment, mortgage or other transfer of all or any part of its
interest as the owner and/or landlord of the Premises shall provide and shall be
subject and subordinate to all the terms and provisions hereof. Landlord shall
provide each of Tenant and Lessor a duly executed copy of the agreement
evidencing such subordination. Such agreement shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. The rights and benefits of this Waiver may be
assigned or transferred by Lessor or to third parties who may become the lessor,
directly or indirectly, to Tenant. Lessor shall provide subsequent written
notice to Landlord and Tenant of the assignment or transfer. Headings in this
Waiver are for convenience of reference only and are not part of the substance
hereof. This Waiver shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of California.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Lessor have executed this Waiver as of
the date and year first written above.
