MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT (the "Master Lease") dated December 24, 1998 by and
between COMDISCO, INC. ("Lessor") and ETOYS INC. ("Lessee").
IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual agreements described below, the parties agree as
follows (all capitalized terms are defined in Section 14.18):
1. PROPERTY LEASED.
Lessor leases to Lessee all of the Equipment described on each Summary Equipment
Schedule. In the event of a conflict, the terms of the applicable Schedule
prevail over this Master Lease.
2. TERM.
On the Commencement Date, Lessee will be deemed to accept the Equipment, will be
bound to its rental obligations for each item of Equipment and the term of a
Summary Equipment Schedule will begin and continue through the Initial Term and
thereafter until terminated by either party upon prior written notice received
during the Notice Period. No termination may be effective prior to the
expiration of the Initial Term.
3. RENT AND PAYMENT.
Rent is due and payable in advance on the first day of each Rent Interval at the
address specified in Lessor's invoice. Interim Rent is due and payable when
invoiced. If any payment is not made when due, Lessee will pay a Late Charge on
the overdue amount. Upon Lessee's execution of each Schedule, Lessee will pay
Lessor the Advance specified on the Schedule. The Advance will be credited
towards the final Rent payment if Lessee is not then in default. No interest
will be paid on the Advance.
4. SELECTION; WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.
4.1 SELECTION. Lessee acknowledges that it has selected the Equipment and
disclaims any reliance upon statements made by the Lessor, other than as set
forth in the Schedule.
4.2 WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. Lessor warrants to Lessee that, so
long as Lessee is not in default, Lessor will not disturb Lessee's quiet and
peaceful possession, and unrestricted use of the Equipment. To the extent
permitted by the manufacturer, Lessor assigns to Lessee during the term of the
Summary Equipment Schedule any manufacturer's warranties for the Equipment.
LESSOR MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE MERCHANTABILITY OF THE EQUIPMENT OR ITS
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Lessor is not responsible for any liability,
claim, loss, damage or expense of any kind (including strict liability in tort)
caused by the Equipment except for any loss or damage caused by the willful
misconduct or negligent acts of Lessor. In no event is Lessor responsible for
special, incidental or consequential damages.
5. TITLE; RELOCATION OR SUBLEASE; AND ASSIGNMENT.
5.1 TITLE. Lessee holds the Equipment subject and subordinate to the rights of
the Owner, Lessor, any Assignee and any Secured Party. Lessee authorizes Lessor,
as Lessee's agent, and at Lessor's expense, to prepare, execute and file in
Lessee's name precautionary Uniform Commercial Code financing statements showing
the interest of the Owner, Lessor, and any Assignee or Secured Party in the
Equipment and to insert serial numbers in Summary Equipment Schedules as
appropriate. Lessee will, at its expense, keep the Equipment free and clear from
any liens or encumbrances of any kind (except any caused by Lessor) and will
indemnify and hold the Owner, Lessor, any Assignee and Secured Party harmless
from and against any loss caused by Lessee's failure to do so, except where such
is caused by Lessor.
5.2 RELOCATION OR SUBLEASE. Upon prior written notice, Lessee may relocate
Equipment to any location within the continental United States provided (i) the
Equipment will not be used by an entity exempt from federal income tax, and (ii)
all additional costs (including any administrative fees, additional taxes and
insurance coverage) are reconciled and promptly paid by Lessee.
Lessee may sublease the Equipment upon the reasonable consent of the Lessor and
the Secured Party. Such consent to sublease will be granted if: (i) Lessee meets
the relocation requirements set out above, (ii) the sublease is expressly
subject and subordinate to the terms of the Schedule, (iii) Lessee assigns its
rights in the sublease to Lessor and the Secured Party as additional collateral
and security, (iv) Lessee's obligation to maintain and insure the Equipment is
not altered, (v) all financing statements required to continue the Secured
Party's prior perfected security interest are filed, and (vi) Lessee executes
sublease documents acceptable to Lessor.
No relocation or sublease will relieve Lessee from any of its obligations under
this Master Lease and the relevant Schedule.
5.3 ASSIGNMENT BY LESSOR. The terms and conditions of each Schedule have been
fixed by Lessor in order to permit Lessor to sell and/or assign or transfer its
interest or grant a security interest in each Schedule and/or the Equipment to a
Secured Party or Assignee. In that event, the term Lessor will mean the Assignee
and any Secured Party. However, any assignment, sale, or other transfer by
Lessor will not relieve Lessor of its obligations to Lessee and will not
materially change Lessee's duties or materially increase the burdens or risks
imposed on Lessee. The Lessee consents to and will acknowledge such assignments
in a written notice given to Lessee. Lessee also agrees that:
(a) The Secured Party will be entitled to exercise all of Lessor's rights,
but will not be obligated to perform any of the obligations of Lessor. The
Secured Party will not disturb Lessee's quiet and peaceful possession and
unrestricted use of the Equipment so long as Lessee is not in default and the
Secured Party continues to receive all Rent payable under the Schedule; and
(b) Lessee will pay all Rent and all other amounts payable to the Secured
Party, despite any defense or claim which it has against Lessor. Lessee reserves
its right to have recourse directly against Lessor for any defense or claim;
(c) Subject to and without impairment of Lessee's leasehold rights in the
Equipment, Lessee holds the Equipment for the Secured Party to the extent of the
Secured Party's rights in that Equipment.
6. NET LEASE; TAXES AND FEES.
6.1 NET LEASE. Each Summary Equipment Schedule constitutes a net lease. Lessee's
obligation to pay Rent and all other amounts due hereunder is absolute and
unconditional and is not subject to any abatement, reduction, set-off, defense,
counterclaim, interruption, deferment or recoupment for any reason whatsoever.
6.2 TAXES AND FEES. Lessee will pay when due or reimburse Lessor for all taxes,
fees or any other charges (together with any related interest or penalties not
arising from the negligence of Lessor) accrued for or arising during the term of
each Summary Equipment Schedule against Lessor, Lessee or the Equipment by any
governmental authority (except only Federal, state, local and franchise taxes on
the capital or the net income of Lessor). Lessor will file all personal property
tax returns for the Equipment and pay all such property taxes due. Lessee will
reimburse Lessor for property taxes within thirty (30) days of receipt of an
invoice.
7. CARE, USE AND MAINTENANCE; INSPECTION BY LESSOR.
7.1 CARE, USE AND MAINTENANCE. Lessee will maintain the Equipment in good
operating order and appearance, protect the Equipment from deterioration, other
than normal wear and tear, and will not use the Equipment for any purpose other
than that for which it was designed. If commercially available and considered
common business practice for each item of Equipment, Lessee will maintain in
force a standard maintenance contract with the manufacturer of the Equipment, or
another party acceptable to Lessor, and will provide Lessor with a complete copy
of that contract. If Lessee has the Equipment maintained by a party other than
the manufacturer or self maintains, Lessee agrees to pay any costs necessary for
the manufacturer to bring the Equipment to then current release, revision and
engineering change levels, and to re-certify the Equipment as eligible for
manufacturer's maintenance at the expiration of the lease term, provided
re-certification is available and is required by Lessor. The lease term will
continue upon the same terms and conditions until recertification has been
obtained.
7.2 INSPECTION BY LESSOR. Upon reasonable advance notice, Lessee, during
reasonable business hours and subject to Lessee's security requirements, will
make the Equipment and its related log and maintenance records available to
Lessor for inspection.
8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF LESSEE. Lessee hereby represents, warrants
and covenants that with respect to the Master Lease and each Schedule executed
hereunder:
(a) The Lessee is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, is duly
qualified to do business in each jurisdiction (including the jurisdiction where

Company's business; and has full corporate power and authority to hold property
under the Master Lease and each Schedule and to enter into and perform its
obligations under the Master Lease and each Schedule.
(b) The execution and delivery by the Lessee of the Master Lease and each

contravene any law or governmental rule, regulation or order applicable to it,
do 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, and the Master Lease and each Schedule constitute legal,
valid and binding agreements of the Lessee, enforceable in accordance with their
terms, subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy and other similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally and rules of law concerning
equitable remedies.
(c) There are no actions, suits, proceedings or patent claims pending or, to
the knowledge of the Lessee, threatened against or affecting the Lessee in any
court or before any governmental commission, board or authority which, if
adversely determined, will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
Lessee to perform its obligations under the Master Lease and each Schedule.
(d) The Equipment is personal property and when subjected to use by the
Lessee will not be or become fixtures under applicable law.
(e) The Lessee has no material liabilities or obligations, absolute or
contingent (individually or in the aggregate), except the liabilities and

business, and which have not been, in any case or in the aggregate, materially
adverse to Lessee's ongoing business.
(f) To the best of the Lessee's knowledge, the Lessee owns, possesses, has
access to, or can become licensed on reasonable terms under all patents, patent
applications, trademarks, trade names, inventions, franchises, licenses,
permits, computer software and copyrights necessary for the operations of its
business as now conducted, with no known infringement of, or conflict with, the
rights of others.
(g) All material contracts, agreements and instruments to which the Lessee is
a party are in full force and effect in all material respects, and are valid,
binding and enforceable by the Lessee in accordance with their respective terms,
subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting
the rights of creditors generally, and rules of law concerning equitable
remedies.
9. DELIVERY AND RETURN OF EQUIPMENT.
Lessee hereby assumes the full expense of transportation and in-transit
insurance to Lessee's premises and installation thereat of the Equipment. Upon
termination (by expiration or otherwise) of each Summary Equipment Schedule,
Lessee shall, pursuant to Lessor's instructions and at Lessee's full expense
(including, without limitation, expenses of transportation and in-transit
insurance), return the Equipment to Lessor in the same operating order, repair,
condition and appearance as when received, less normal depreciation and wear and
tear. Lessee shall return the Equipment to Lessor at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx,
Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 or at such other address within the continental United
States as directed by Lessor, provided, however, that Lessee's expense shall be
limited to the cost of returning the Equipment to Lessor's address as set forth
herein. During the period subsequent to receipt of a notice under Section 2,
Lessor may demonstrate the Equipment's operation in place and Lessee will supply
any of its personnel as may reasonably be required to assist in the
demonstrations.
10. LABELING.
Upon request, Lessee will xxxx the Equipment indicating Lessor's interest with
labels provided by Lessor. Lessee will keep all Equipment free from any other
marking or labeling which might be interpreted as a claim of ownership.
11. INDEMNITY.
With regard to bodily injury and property damage liability only, Lessee will
indemnify and hold Lessor, any Assignee and any Secured Party harmless from and
against any and all claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of the ownership (for strict liability
in tort only), selection, possession, leasing, operation, control, use,
maintenance, delivery, return or other disposition of the Equipment during the
term of this Master Lease or until Lessee's obligations under the Master Lease
terminate. However, Lessee is not responsible to a party indemnified hereunder
for any claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities occasioned by the
negligent acts of such indemnified party. Lessee agrees to carry bodily injury
and property damage liability insurance during the term of the Master Lease in
amounts and against risks customarily insured against by the Lessee on equipment
owned by it. Any amounts received by Lessor under that insurance will be
credited against Lessee's obligations under this Section.
12. RISK OF LOSS.
Effective upon delivery and until the Equipment is returned, Lessee relieves
Lessor of responsibility for all risks of physical damage to or loss or
destruction of the Equipment. Lessee will carry casualty insurance for each item
of Equipment in an amount not less than the Casualty Value. All policies for
such insurance will name the Lessor and any Secured Party as additional insured
and as loss payee, and will provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice to the Lessor of cancellation or expiration, and will insure Lessor's
interests regardless of any breach or violation by Lessee of any representation,
warranty or condition contained in such policies and will be primary without
right of contribution from any insurance effected by Lessor. Upon the execution
of any Schedule, the Lessee will furnish appropriate evidence of such insurance
acceptable to Lessor.
Lessee will promptly repair any damaged item of Equipment unless such Equipment
has suffered a Casualty Loss. Within fifteen (15) days of a Casualty Loss,
Lessee will provide written notice of that loss to Lessor and Lessee will, at
Lessee's option, either (a) replace the item of Equipment with Like Equipment
and marketable title to the Like Equipment will automatically vest in Lessor or
(b) pay the Casualty Value and after that payment and the payment of all other
amounts due and owing with respect to that item of Equipment, Lessee's
obligation to pay further Rent for the item of Equipment will cease.
13. DEFAULT, REMEDIES AND MITIGATION.
13.1 DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following Events of
Default constitutes a default under a Summary Equipment Schedule:
(a) Lessee's failure to pay Rent or other amounts payable by Lessee when due
if that failure continues for five (5) business days after written notice; or
(b) Lessee's failure to perform any other term or condition of the Schedule
or the material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Lessee
in the Schedule or in any document or certificate furnished to the Lessor
hereunder if that failure or inaccuracy continues for ten (10) business days
after written notice; or
(c) An assignment by Lessee for the benefit of its creditors, the failure by
Lessee to pay its debts when due, the insolvency of Lessee, the filing by Lessee
or the filing against Lessee of any petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency
law or for the appointment of a trustee or other officer with similar powers,
the adjudication of Lessee as insolvent, the liquidation of Lessee, or the
taking of any action for the purpose of the foregoing; or
(d) The occurrence of an Event of Default under any Schedule, Summary
Equipment Schedule or other agreement between Lessee and Lessor or its Assignee
or Secured Party.
13.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any of the above Events of Default,
Lessor, at its option, may:
(a) enforce Lessee's performance of the provisions of the applicable Schedule
by appropriate court action in law or in equity;
(b) recover from Lessee any damages and or expenses, including Default Costs;
(c) with notice and demand, recover all sums due and accelerate and recover
the present value of the remaining payment stream of all Rent due under the
defaulted Schedule (discounted at the same rate of interest at which such
defaulted Schedule was discounted with a Secured Party plus any prepayment fees
charged to Lessor by the Secured Party or, if there is no Secured Party, then
discounted at 6%) together with all Rent and other amounts currently due as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty;
(d) with notice and process of law and in compliance with Lessee's security
requirements, Lessor may enter on Lessee's premises to remove and repossess the
Equipment without being liable to Lessee for damages due to the repossession,
except those resulting from Lessor's, its assignees', agents' or
representatives' negligence; and
(e) pursue any other remedy permitted by law or equity.
The above remedies, in Lessor's discretion and to the extent permitted by law,
are cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently.
13.3 MITIGATION. Upon return of the Equipment pursuant to the terms of Section
13.2, Lessor will use its best efforts in accordance with its normal business
procedures (and without obligation to give any priority to such Equipment) to
mitigate Lessor's damages as described below. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS
SECTION, LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS NOW OR HEREAFTER CONFERRED BY STATUTE
OR OTHERWISE WHICH MAY REQUIRE LESSOR TO MITIGATE ITS DAMAGES OR MODIFY ANY OF
LESSOR'S RIGHTS OR REMEDIES STATED HEREIN. Lessor may sell, lease or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of the Equipment at a public or private sale for cash
or credit with the privilege of purchasing the Equipment. The proceeds from any
sale, lease or other disposition of the Equipment are defined as either:
(a) if sold or otherwise disposed of, the cash proceeds less the Fair Market
Value of the Equipment at the expiration of the Initial Term less the Default
Costs; or
- 2 -
(b) if leased, the present value (discounted at three percent (3%) over the
U.S. Treasury Notes of comparable maturity to the term of the re-lease) of the
rentals for a term not to exceed the Initial Term, less the Default Costs.
Any proceeds will be applied against liquidated damages and any other sums due
to Lessor from Lessee. However, Lessee is liable to Lessor for, and Lessor may
recover, the amount by which the proceeds are less than the liquidated damages
and other sums due to Lessor from Lessee.

14.1 BOARD ATTENDANCE. Upon invitation of Lessee, one representative of Lessor
will have the right to attend Lessee's corporate Board of Directors meetings and

be discussed at such board meeting. Lessee will provide Lessor with a certified
copy of the minutes of each Board of Directors meeting within thirty (30) days
following the date of such meeting held during the term of this Master Lease.
14.2 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. As soon as practicable at the end of each month (and
in any event within thirty (30) days), Lessee will provide to Lessor the same
information which Lessee provides to its Board of Directors, but which will

cash flows prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,

Statements setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures for the
fiscal year (and in any event within ninety (90) days), and accompanied by an
audit report and opinion of the independent certified public accountants
selected by Lessee. Lessee will promptly furnish to Lessor any additional
information (including, but not limited to, tax returns, income statements,
balance sheets and names of principal creditors) as Lessor reasonably believes
necessary to evaluate Lessee's continuing ability to meet financial obligations.
After the effective date of the initial registration statement covering a public
offering of Lessee's securities, the term "Financial Statements" will be deemed
to refer to only those statements required by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
14.3 OBLIGATION TO LEASE ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT. Upon notice to Lessee, Lessor
will not be obligated to lease any Equipment which would have a Commencement
Date after said notice if: (i) Lessee is in default under this Master Lease or
any Schedule; (ii) Lessee is in default under any loan agreement, the result of
which would allow the lender or any secured party to demand immediate payment of
any material indebtedness; (iii) there is a material adverse change in Lessee's
credit standing; or (iv) Lessor determines (in reasonable good faith) that
Lessee will be unable to perform its obligations under this Master Lease or any
Schedule.

Merger at least sixty (60) days prior to the closing date. Lessor may, in its
discretion, either (i) consent to the assignment of the Master Lease and all
relevant Schedules to the successor entity, or (ii) terminate the Master Lease
and all relevant Schedules. If Lessor elects to consent to the assignment,
Lessee and its successor will sign the assignment documentation provided by
Lessor. If Lessor elects to terminate the Master Lease and all relevant
Schedules, then Lessee will pay Lessor all amounts then due and owing and a
termination fee equal to the present value (discounted at 6%) of the remaining
Rent for the balance of the Initial Term(s) of all Schedules, and will return
the Equipment in accordance with Section 9. Lessor hereby consents to any Merger
in which the acquiring entity has a Xxxxx'x Bond Rating of BA3 or better or a
commercially acceptable equivalent measure of creditworthiness as reasonably
determined by Lessor.
14.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Master Lease and associated Schedules and Summary
Equipment Schedules supersede all other oral or written agreements or
understandings between the parties concerning the Equipment including, for
example, purchase orders. ANY AMENDMENT OF THIS MASTER LEASE OR A SCHEDULE, MAY
ONLY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY A WRITING SIGNED BY THE PARTY AGAINST WHOM THE AMENDMENT
IS SOUGHT TO BE ENFORCED.
14.6 NO WAIVER. No action taken by Lessor or Lessee will be deemed to constitute
a waiver of compliance with any representation, warranty or covenant contained
in this Master Lease or a Schedule. The waiver by Lessor or Lessee of a breach
of any provision of this Master Lease or a Schedule will not operate or be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.
14.7 BINDING NATURE. Each Schedule is binding upon, and inures to the benefit of
Lessor and its assigns. LESSEE MAY NOT ASSIGN ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS.
14.8 SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. All agreements, obligations including, but not
limited to those arising under Section 6.2, representations and warranties
contained in this Master Lease, any Schedule, Summary Equipment Schedule or in
any document delivered in connection with those agreements are for the benefit
of Lessor and any Assignee or Secured Party and survive the execution, delivery,
expiration or termination of this Master Lease.
14.9 NOTICES. Any notice, request or other communication to either party by the
other will be given in writing and deemed received upon the earlier of (1)
actual receipt or (3) three days after mailing if mailed postage prepaid by
regular or airmail to Lessor (to the attention of "the Comdisco Venture Group")
or Lessee, at the address set out in the Schedule, (3) one day after it is sent
by courier or (4) on the same day as sent via facsimile transmission, provided
that the original is sent by personal delivery or mail by the sending party.
14.10 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS MASTER LEASE HAS BEEN, AND EACH SCHEDULE WILL HAVE
BEEN MADE, EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND WILL BE GOVERNED
AND CONSTRUED FOR ALL PURPOSES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
ILLINOIS WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS. NO RIGHTS OR
REMEDIES REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 2A OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE WILL BE
CONFERRED ON LESSEE UNLESS EXPRESSLY GRANTED IN THIS MASTER LEASE OR A SCHEDULE.
14.11 SEVERABILITY. If any one or more of the provisions of this Master Lease or
any Schedule is for any reason held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the

mutually acceptable valid, legal and enforceable provision that is closest to
the original intention of the parties.
14.12 COUNTERPARTS. This Master Lease and any Schedule may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts together constitute one and the same instrument. If Lessor grants a
security interest in all or any part of a Schedule, the Equipment or sums
payable thereunder, only that counterpart Schedule marked "Secured Party's
Original" can transfer Lessor's rights and all other counterparts will be marked
"Duplicate."
14.13 LICENSED PRODUCTS. Lessee will obtain no title to Licensed Products which
will at all times remain the property of the owner of the Licensed Products. A
license from the owner may be required and it is Lessee's responsibility to

("Equipment Delivery Period"), for which Lessor receives vendor invoices
approved for payment, up to an aggregate purchase price of $1,400,000
("Commitment Amount"). Equipment shall exclude custom use equipment, leasehold
improvements, installation costs and delivery costs, rolling stock, special
tooling, "stand-alone" software, application software bundled into computer
hardware, hand held items, molds and fungible items.
1. EQUIPMENT PURCHASE
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
30 days from the date hereof*. 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 PERCENT OF ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER'S
DATE NET EQUIPMENT COST PAID BY LESSOR
-------------- ----------------------------------
Sept. 24, 1998 - Dec. 24, 1998 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. As a result of the election, Lessor agrees
that it will not invoice Lessee for use tax on the monthly rent for any item of
Sale- Leaseback Equipment as long as the Sale/Leaseback Transaction occurs
within 90 days of Lessee's first functional use of the equipment, as represented
to Lessor. Lessee agrees to pay any taxes, fees, or any other charges (together
with interest or penalties) related to any dispute of Lessee's election
hereunder and 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 Comdisco's 1-800
Direct 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 15% of Lessor's cost hereunder 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
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 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 200% 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 $1,000,000 of Equipment upon rates and terms to
be negotiated.

LESSEE (THE EQUIPMENT SCHEDULES, SUMMARY EQUIPMENT SCHEDULES AND THE
MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT, COLLECTIVELY THE "LEASES").
Dear Xx. Xxxxxx:
Reference is made to the subject Leases. This writing shall serve to
confirm the agreement by and between the undersigned in connection with and in
consideration of the funding of the Leases by Comdisco, Inc. (hereinafter
"Comdisco") in the amount of $2,000,000 to eToys Inc. (hereinafter "eToys").
eToys will execute and deliver to Comdisco a Warrant Agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Comdisco, upon the earlier of the following
(i) 15 days after the closing of the next preferred stock financing ("Next
Round"); or (ii) prior to the effective date of an initial public offering of
eToys' securities ("IPO"); or (iii) prior to the effective date of a
consolidation or merger of eToys with or into any other corporation or entity,
or any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of stock of
eToys by or to any other person or entity ("Merger Event"). Such Warrant
Agreement shall grant to Comdisco the right to purchase that number of shares of
eToys' preferred stock (or common stock in the case of a IPO) equal to $80,000
divided by the exercise price ("Exercise Price") as defined below and shall be
in substantially the same format as Exhibit A (attached hereto and made a part
hereof) and shall contain anti-dilution and registration rights in parity with
those rights provided other investors. eToys shall use reasonable efforts to
provide Comdisco with at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of any
proposed (i) Next Round; (ii) Merger Event; or (iii) IPO, where permissable by
law.
The Exercise Price shall equal to the sum of (x) $2.1032 ("Last Round Price"),
and (y) the product of (A) the difference between (i) the price per share (the
"Next Round Price") paid by investors for shares of preferred stock of the
Company issued in the Company's next private equity financing (the "Next
Round"), the initial price to public of the Common Stock sold by the Company in
its initial public offering (the "IPO") or the per share (based on the number of
then outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock) value of the
consideration to be received by the Company's securityholders upon the execution
by the Company of a definitive agreement to enter into a Merger Event (as
defined in the Warrant Agreement as Exhibit A) ('Merger") whichever event is the
first to occur, and (ii)the Last Round Price, multiplied by (B) the quotient
obtained by dividing (i) the number of days from the closing date of the
Company's sale and issuance of its Series B Preferred Stock ("Last Round") to
the date of execution of the Leases, by (ii) the number of days
from the date from the last closing of the Last Round to the closing date of the
first to occur of the Next Round, the IPO or the Merger. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if such closing date occurs after June 30, 1999, the Exercise Price
shall be $2.1032.

WARRANT AGREEMENT
TO PURCHASE SHARES OF THE SERIES _ PREFERRED STOCK OF
eTOYS INC.
DATED AS OF __________ __, 1998 (THE "EFFECTIVE DATE")
WHEREAS, eToys Inc., a ____________ corporation (the "Company") has
entered into a Master Lease Agreement dated as of ____________, 1998, Equipment
Schedule No. VL-1 and VL-2 dated as of _____________, 1998, and related Summary
Equipment Schedules (collectively, the "Leases") with Comdisco, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Warrantholder"); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to Warrantholder, in consideration
for such Leases, the right to purchase shares of its Series _ Preferred Stock;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Warrantholder executing and
delivering such Leases and in consideration of mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, the Company and Warrantholder agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE PREFERRED STOCK.
The Company hereby grants to the Warrantholder, and the Warrantholder is
entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, to
subscribe to and purchase, from the Company, ______ fully paid and
non-assessable shares of the Company's Series _ Preferred Stock ("Preferred
Stock") at a purchase price of $____ per share (the "Exercise Price"). The
number and purchase price of such shares are subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 8 hereof.
2. TERM OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT.
Except as otherwise provided for herein, the term of this Warrant
Agreement and the right to purchase Preferred Stock as granted herein shall
commence on the Effective Date and shall be exercisable for a period of (i)
seven (7) years or (ii) three (3) years from the effective date of the Company's
initial public offering or (iii) the consummation of a Merger Event (as defined
in Section 8(a)), whichever is earlier.
3. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS.
The purchase rights set forth in this Warrant Agreement are exercisable
by the Warrantholder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time,
prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2 above, by tendering
to the Company at its principal office a notice of exercise in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit I (the "Notice of Exercise"), duly completed and executed.
Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of the purchase
price in accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no event later than
twenty-one (21) days thereafter, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder a
certificate for the number of shares of Preferred Stock purchased and shall
execute the acknowledgment of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II
(the "Acknowledgment of Exercise") indicating the number of shares which remain
subject to future purchases, if any.
The Exercise Price may be paid at the Warrantholder's election either (i)
by cash or check, or (ii) by surrender of Warrants ("Net Issuance") as
determined below. If the Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, the
Company will issue Preferred Stock in accordance with the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)
------
- 1 -
A
Where: X = the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to
the Warrantholder.
Y = the number of shares of Preferred Stock requested
to be exercised under this Warrant Agreement.
A = the fair market value of one (1) share of
Preferred Stock.
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes of the above calculation, current fair market value of
Preferred Stock shall mean with respect to each share of Preferred Stock:
(i) if the exercise is in connection with an initial public
offering of the Company's Common Stock, and if the Company's Registration
Statement relating to such public offering has been declared effective by
the SEC, then the fair market value per share shall be the product of (x)
the initial "Price to Public" specified in the final prospectus with
respect to the offering and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into
which each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such
exercise;
(ii) if this Warrant is exercised after, and not in connection with
the Company's initial public offering, and:
(a) if traded on a securities exchange, the fair market
value shall be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of the
closing prices over a twenty-one (21) day period ending three days
before the day the current fair market value of the securities is
being determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into
which each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such
exercise; or
(b) if actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market
value shall be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of the
closing bid and asked prices quoted on the NASDAQ system (or similar
system) over the twenty-one (21) day period ending three days before
the day the current fair market value of the securities is being
determined and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which
each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such
exercise;
(iii) if at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any
securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System or the
over-the-counter market, the current fair market value of Preferred Stock
shall be the product of (x) the highest price per share which the Company
could obtain from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director)
for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but
unissued shares, as determined in good faith by its Board of Directors
and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of
Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such exercise, unless the
Company shall become subject to a merger, acquisition or other
consolidation pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving party,
in which case the fair market value of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to
be the value received by the holders of the Company's Preferred Stock on
a common equivalent basis pursuant to such merger or acquisition.
Upon partial exercise by either cash or Net Issuance, the Company shall
promptly issue an amended Warrant Agreement representing the remaining number of
shares purchasable hereunder. All other terms and conditions of such amended
Warrant Agreement shall be identical to those contained herein, including, but
not limited to the Effective Date hereof.
4. RESERVATION OF SHARES.
(a) AUTHORIZATION AND RESERVATION OF SHARES. During the term of this
Warrant Agreement, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a
sufficient number of shares of its Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise
of the rights to purchase Preferred Stock as provided for herein.
(b) REGISTRATION OR LISTING. If any shares of Preferred Stock
required to be reserved hereunder require registration with or approval of any
governmental authority under any Federal or State law (other than any
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), as then
in effect, or any similar Federal
- 2 -
statute then enforced, or any state securities law, required by reason of any
transfer involved in such conversion), or listing on any domestic securities
exchange, before such shares may be issued upon conversion, the Company will, at
its expense and as expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to cause such
shares to be duly registered, listed or approved for listing on such domestic
securities exchange, as the case may be.
5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of the Warrant, 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.
6. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.
This Warrant Agreement does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting
rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise of
the Warrant.
7. WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY.
The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the
registered holder of this Warrant Agreement.
8. ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.
The purchase price per share and the number of shares of Preferred Stock
purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment, as follows:
(a) MERGER AND SALE OF ASSETS. 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), including, but not limited to, a merger effected solely
for the purpose of changing domicile, or a merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another corporation whether or not the Company is the
surviving corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
properties and assets to any other person, or any other transaction or series of
related transactions in which more that 50% of the voting power of the Company
is disposed of (hereinafter referred to as a "Merger Event"), then, as a part of
such Merger Event, lawful provision shall be made so that the Warrantholder
shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, the
number of shares of preferred stock or other securities of the successor
corporation resulting from such Merger Event, equivalent in value to that which
would have been issuable if Warrantholder 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 Agreement with respect to the
rights and interest of the Warrantholder after the Merger Event to the end that
the provisions of this Warrant Agreement (including adjustments of the Exercise
Price and number of shares of Preferred Stock purchasable) shall be applicable
to the greatest extent possible.
(b) RECLASSIFICATION OF SHARES. If the Company at any time shall, by
combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities or
otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this
Warrant Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities of any
other class or classes, this Warrant Agreement shall thereafter represent the
right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable
as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject
to the purchase rights under this Warrant Agreement immediately prior to such
combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change.
(c) SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF SHARES. If the Company at any time
shall combine or subdivide its Preferred Stock, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately
increased in the case of a combination.
(d) STOCK DIVIDENDS. If the Company at any time shall pay a dividend
payable in, or make any other distribution (except any distribution specifically
provided for in the foregoing subsections (a) or (b)) of the Company's stock,
then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the record date of
such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction (i)
the numerator of which shall be the total number of all shares of the Company's
stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (ii)
the denominator of which shall be the total number of all shares of the
Company's stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.
The Warrantholder shall thereafter be
- 3 -
entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the
number of shares of Preferred Stock (calculated to the nearest whole share)
obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment by the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise
hereof immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by
the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(e) RIGHT TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL STOCK. If, the Warrantholder's total
cost of equipment leased pursuant to the Leases exceeds $2,000,000,
Warrantholder shall have the right to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise
Price (adjusted as set forth herein), an additional number of shares, which
number shall be determined by (i) multiplying the amount by which the
Warrantholder's total equipment cost exceeds $2,000,000 by 4%, and (ii) dividing
the product thereof by the Exercise Price per share referenced above.
(f) ANTIDILUTION RIGHTS. Additional antidilution rights applicable to
the Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder are as set forth in the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended through the Effective Date, a true and
complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit ___ (the "Charter"). The
Company shall promptly provide the Warrantholder with any restatement,
amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter. The Company shall provide
Warrantholder with prior written notice of any issuance of its stock or other
equity security to occur after the Effective Date of this Warrant, which notice
shall include (a) the price at which such stock or security is to be sold, (b)
the number of shares to be issued, and (c) such other information as necessary
for Warrantholder to determine if a dilutive event has occurred.
(g) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. If: (i) the Company shall declare any
dividend or distribution upon its stock, whether in cash, property, stock or
other securities; (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription prorata to the
holders of any class of its Preferred or other convertible stock any additional
shares of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall be any Merger
Event; (iv) there shall be an initial public offering; or (v) there shall be any
voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in
connection with each such event, the Company shall send to the Warrantholder:
(A) at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date on which the
books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend,
distribution, subscription rights (specifying the date on which the holders of
Preferred Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in
respect of such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; (B) in the
case of any such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least
twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take
place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to exchange their Preferred Stock for securities or other property
deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up); and
(C) in the case of a public offering, the Company shall give the Warrantholder
at least twenty (20) days written notice prior to the effective date thereof.
Each such written notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the
event requiring the adjustment, if applicable (ii) the amount of the adjustment,
if applicable (iii) the method by which such adjustment was calculated, (iv) the
Exercise Price, and (v) the number of shares subject to purchase hereunder after
giving effect to such adjustment, and shall be given by first class mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the Warrantholder, at the address as shown on the
books of the Company.
(h) TIMELY NOTICE. Failure to timely provide such notice required by
subsection (g) above shall entitle Warrantholder to retain the benefit of the
applicable notice period notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
any insufficient notice received by Warrantholder. The notice period shall begin
on the date Warrantholder actually receives a written notice containing all the
information specified above.
9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
(a) RESERVATION OF PREFERRED STOCK. The Preferred Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrantholder's rights has been duly and validly reserved and,
when issued in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Agreement, will be

Company has made available to the Warrantholder true, correct and complete
copies of its Charter and Bylaws, as amended. The issuance of certificates for

10. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE WARRANTHOLDER.
This Warrant Agreement has been entered into by the Company in reliance
upon the following representations and covenants of the Warrantholder:
(a) INVESTMENT PURPOSE. The right to acquire Preferred Stock or the
Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrantholder's rights contained
herein will be acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or
distribution of any part thereof, and the Warrantholder has no present intention
of selling or engaging in any public distribution of the same except pursuant to
a registration or exemption.
(b) PRIVATE ISSUE. The Warrantholder understands (i) that the
Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of such Preferred Stock) is not registered under the
1933 Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws on the ground that
the issuance contemplated by this Warrant Agreement will be exempt from the
registration and qualifications requirements thereof, and (ii) that the
Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations set
forth in this Section 10.
(c) DISPOSITION OF WARRANTHOLDER'S RIGHTS. In no event will the
Warrantholder make a disposition of any of its rights to acquire Preferred Stock
or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of such rights or the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of such Preferred Stock unless and until (i) it shall
have notified the Company of the proposed disposition, and (ii) if requested by
the Company, it shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel
(which counsel may either be inside or outside counsel to the Warrantholder)
satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that (A) appropriate
action necessary for compliance with the 1933 Act has been taken, or (B) an
exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act is available.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions imposed upon the transferability
of any of its rights to acquire Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock issuable on
the exercise of such rights or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such
Preferred Stock 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 owner, and shall terminate as to any particular share of Preferred
Stock when (1) such security shall have been effectively registered under the
1933 Act and sold by the holder thereof in accordance with such registration or
(2) such security shall have been sold without registration in compliance with
Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or (3) a letter shall have been issued to the
Warrantholder at its request by the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission or a ruling shall have been issued to the Warrantholder 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. Whenever
the restrictions imposed hereunder shall terminate, as hereinabove provided, the
Warrantholder or holder of a share of Preferred Stock of Common Stock then
outstanding as to which such restrictions have terminated shall be entitled to
receive from the Company, without expense to such holder, one or more new
certificates for the Warrant or for such shares of Preferred Stock or Common
Stock not bearing any restrictive legend.
(d) FINANCIAL RISK. The Warrantholder has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of its investment, and has the ability to bear the economic
risks of its investment.
(e) RISK OF NO REGISTRATION. The Warrantholder understands that if
the Company does not register with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934 Act (the "1934 Act"), or file reports
pursuant to Section 15(d), of the 1934 Act", or if a registration statement
covering the securities under the 1933 Act is not in effect when it desires to
sell (i) the rights to purchase Preferred Stock pursuant to this Warrant
Agreement, or (ii) the Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the right to
purchase or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Preferred Stock,
it may be required to hold such securities for an indefinite period. The
Warrantholder also understands that any sale of its rights of the Warrantholder
to purchase Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock or Common Stock which might be
made by it in reliance upon Rule 144 under the 1933 Act may be made only in
accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule.
(f) ACCREDITED INVESTOR. Warrantholder is an "accredited investor"
within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Rule 501 of Regulation D, as
presently in effect.
