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), or (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 January 15, 2001 *. Lessor will not perform a Sale-Leaseback Transaction for any request or accompanying Equipment ownership documents which arrive after the date marked above by an asterisk (*). Further, any
sale-leaseback Equipment will be placed on lease subject to: (1) Lessor prior approval of the Equipment; and (2) if approved, at Lessor’s actual net appraised Equipment value pursuant to the schedule below:
ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT INVOICE DATE
Between 09/09/00
and 12/08/00 (90 days)
PERCENT OF ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER’S
NET EQUIPMENT COST PAID BY LESSOR
100%
Lessee represents that it has paid all California sales tax due on the cost of that portion of Equipment to be installed in California and agrees to provide evidence of
such payment to Lessor, if specifically requested. As a result of the election, Lessor agrees that it will not invoice Lessee for use tax on the monthly rental rate. Lessee understands that this is an irrevocable election to measure the tax by the
Equipment cost and cannot be changed except prior to installation of the Equipment.
(iii) Used On-Order Equipment. Lessor will purchase used Equipment which is obtained from a third party by Lessee for its use subject to Lessor’s prior approval of the Equipment and at
Lessor’s appraised value for such used Equipment.
(iv) 800 Number
Equipment. Upon Lessee’s use of 1-800 Direct Service, Lessor will Comdisco’s purchase new or used Equipment from a third party or Lessor will supply new or used Equipment from its inventory for use by Lessee at
rates provided by Lessor.
2. Commencement Date
The Commencement Date for each item of new on-order or used on-order Equipment will be the install date as confirmed in writing by Lessee
as set forth on the vendor invoice of which a facsimile transmission will constitute an original document. The Commencement Date for sale-leaseback Equipment shall be the date Lessor tenders the purchase price. The Commencement Date for 800 Number
Equipment shall be fifteen (15) days from the ship date, such ship date to be set forth on the vendor invoice or if unavailable on the vendor invoice the ship date will be determined by Lessor upon other supporting shipping documentation. Lessor
will summarize all approved invoices, purchase documentation and evidence of delivery, as applicable, received in the same calendar quarter into a Summary Equipment Schedule in the form attached to this Schedule as Exhibit 1, and the Initial Term
will begin the first day of the calendar quarter thereafter.
Each Summary Equipment Schedule will contain the
Equipment location, description, serial number(s) and cost and will incorporate the terms and conditions of the Master Lease and this Schedule and will constitute a separate lease.
3. Option to Extend
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, and upon written notice no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term of a Summary Equipment
Schedule,
2
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.
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 fifteen percent (15%) of 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.
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 or any
soft costs financed hereunder including but not limited to tenant improvements and custom equipment.
C. The cost of the New Technology Equipment must be equal to or greater than the original equipment cost of the replaced equipment, but in no event shall exceed 150% of the original equipment cost.
D. The remaining lease payments applicable to the equipment being replaced
by the New Technology Equipment will be discounted to present value at six percent (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.

Equipment Schedule VL-2, Lessee hereby grant~; to Lessor, or an affiliate of Lessor, the right to invest up to one million dollars ($1,000,000.00), at Lessor’s sole option, in Lessee’s next round of preferred stock equity financing
