MASTER AGREEMENT TO LEASE EQUIPMENT

                THIS MASTER AGREEMENT TO LEASE EQUIPMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 3, 1998 by and between CISCO SYSTEMS CAPITAL CORPORATION (“Lessor”), having its principal place of business at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 and VIP CALLING, INC., a Delaware Corporation (“Lessee”), having a principal place of business at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000.

I. THE LEASE

                1.1 Lease of Equipment. In accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lessor shall lease to Lessee, and Lessee shall lease from Lessor, the personal property, including all substitutions, replacements, repairs, parts and attachments, improvements and accessions thereto and therein (the “Equipment”), described in the lease schedule(s) (each, a “Lease”) to be entered into from time to time into which this Agreement is incorporated. Each Lease shall constitute a separate, distinct, and independent lease and contractual obligation of Lessee. Lessor or its assignee shall at all times retain the full legal title to the Equipment, it being expressly agreed by both parties that each Lease is an agreement of lease only.

                1.2 Term of Lease. The original term (the “Original Term”) of the Equipment shall commence on the Commencement, and, subject to Sections 3.3 and 3.5 below, shall terminate on the date specified in the Lease. Except as specifically provided in this Section 1.2, no Lease may be terminated by Lessor or Lessee, for any reason whatsoever, prior to the end of the Original Term (the “Lease Term”). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lessee shall be deemed to accept the Equipment on the Commencement Date (as specified in each Lease).

                1.3 Rental Payments. Lessee shall pay Lessor monthly rent (“Rent”) for the Equipment in the amounts and at the times specified in the Lease provided, however, that no Rent shall be due or accrue with respect to any Lease prior to the date occurring six months after the date of the first lease. All Rent and other amounts payable by Lessee to Lessor hereunder shall be paid to Lessor at the address specified above, or at such other place as Lessor may designate in writing to Lessee from time to time. Lessor will provide Lessee with a single monthly invoice, detailing all Rent then owned with respect to Equipment under all leases then in effect. Freight charges for Equipment deliver to Lessee will be added to Lessor’s invoice and billed to Lessee with the first rental payment relating to such Equipment.

1

                1.4 Return of Equipment. Upon expiration of the Lease Term of the Equipment, Lessee shall immediately return the Equipment to Lessor as provided in Section 3.3 below. If Lessee fails to return any of the Equipment upon demand therefor by Lessor, Lessee shall pay Lessor, as the measure of Lessor’s damages, the Casualty Value (as defined in the applicable Lease) of such Equipment.

II. DISCLAIMERS AND WARRANTIES; INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

                2.1 Disclaimers; Warranties. Lessee represents and acknowledges that the Equipment is of a size, design, capacity and manufacture selected by it, and that it is satisfied that the Equipment is suitable for its purposes. LESSOR LEASES THE EQUIPMENT AS IS, AND, NOT BEING THE MANUFACTURER OF THE EQUIPMENT, THE MANUFACTURER’S AGENT OR THE SELLER’S AGENT, MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESIGN OR CONDITION OF THE EQUIPMENT. LESSOR SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION OR OTHER USE, OR DEINSTALLATION OF THE EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE OR LOSS.  Lessee shall look solely to the manufacturer or the supplier of the Equipment for correction of any problems that may arise with respect thereto, and, provided no Event of Default (as defined in Section 4.1) has occurred and is continuing, all warranties made by the manufacturer or such supplier are, to the degree possible, hereby assigned to Lessee for the Lease Term. Lessor shall not enter any agreement with the manufacturer or supplier of the Equipment that will restrict Lessee’s ability to look to such manufacturer or supplier to correct any such problem. To the extent any such warranty requires performance of any kind by the beneficiary of the warranty, Lessee shall perform in accordance therewith.

                2.2 Intellectual Property. Except as otherwise expressly provided in each Lease, LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT AND TRADEMARK RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT, WHETHER RELATING TO INFRINGEMENT OR OTHERWISE. Lessor shall, when requested in writing by Lessee and at Lessee’s cost and expense, exercise, rights of indemnification, if any, for patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement obtained from the manufacturer under any agreement for purchase of the Equipment. If notified promptly in writing of any action brought against Lessee based on a claim that the Equipment infringes a United States patent, copyright or other intellectual property right, Lessor shall promptly notify the manufacturer thereof for purposes of exercising, for the benefit of Lessee, Lessor’s rights with respect to such claim under any such agreement.

III. COVENANTS OF LESSEE

                3.1 Payments Unconditional; Tax Benefits; Acceptance. EACH LEASE SHALL BE A NET LEASE, AND LESSEE’S OBLIGATION TO PAY ALL RENT AND OTHER SUMS THEREUNDER, AND THE RIGHTS OF LESSOR IN AND TO SUCH PAYMENTS, SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL, AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY ABATEMENT, REDUCTION, SETOFF, DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM, INTERRUPTION, DEFERMENT OR RECOUPMENT, FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER. It is the intent of Lessor, and an inducement to Lessor, to enter into each Lease, to claim all available tax benefits of ownership with respect to the Equipment subject thereto. Lessee’s acceptance of the Equipment subject to a Lease shall be conclusively and irrevocably evidenced by Lessee executing an Acceptance Certificate with respect to such Equipment, and upon acceptance, such Lease shall be noncancellable for the Lease Term unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Lessor. Any nonpayment of Rent or other amounts payable under any Lease shall result in Lessee’s obligation to promptly pay Lessor as additional Rent on such overdue payment, for the period of time during which it is overdue (without regard to any grace period), interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (a) fourteen percent (14%) per annum, or (b) the maximum rate of interest permitted by law.

                3.2 Use of Equipment. Lessee shall use the Equipment solely in the conduct of its business, in a manner and for the use contemplated by the manufacturer thereof, and in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of every governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Equipment or Lessee and with provisions of all policies of insurance carried by Lessee pursuant to Section 3.6 below. Lessee shall pay all costs, expenses, fees and charges incurred in connection with the use and operation of the Equipment.

                3.3 Delivery; Installation; Return; Maintenance and Repair; Inspection.  Lessee shall be solely responsible, at its own expense, for (a) the delivery of the Equipment to Lessee, (b) the packing, rigging and delivery of the Equipment back to Lessor, upon expiration or termination of the Lease Term, in good repair, condition and working order, ordinary wear and tear excepted, at the location(s) within the continental United States specified by Lessor, and (c) the installation, de-installation, maintenance and repair of the Equipment.  During the Lease Term, Lessee shall ensure that the Equipment is covered by amaintenance agreement, to the extent available, with the manufacturer of the Equipment or such other party, reasonably acceptable to Lessor. Lessee shall, at its expense, keep the Equipment in good repair, condition and working order, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and, at the expiration or termination of the Lease Term, or any renewal term, with respect to any of the Equipment, have such Equipment inspected and certified acceptable for maintenance service by the manufacturer, if such inspection and certification services are available from the manufacturer at such time. In the event any of the Equipment, upon its return to Lessor, is not in good repair, condition and working order, ordinary wear and tear excepted, Lessee shall be obligated to pay Lessor for the out-of-pocket expenses Lessor incurs in bringing such Equipment up to such status, but not in excess of the Casualty Value (as defined in the applicable Lease) for such Equipment, promptly after its receipt of an invoice for such expenses. Lessor shall be entitled to inspect the Equipment at Lessee’s

location of reasonable times.

4

                3.4 Taxes. Lessee shall be obligated to pay, and hereby indemnifies Lessor and its successor and assigns against, and holds each of them harmless from, all license fees, assessments, and sales, use, property, excise and other taxes and charges, other than those measured by Lessor’s net income, now and hereafter imposed by any governmental body or agency upon or with respect to any of the Equipment, or the possession, ownership, use or operation thereof, or any Lease or the consummation of the transactions contemplated in any Lease or this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall file all required personal property tax returns, and shall pay all personal property taxes payable, with respect to the Equipment, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as additional Rent, the amount of all such personal property taxes within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of an invoice for such taxes.

                3.5 Loss of Equipment. Lessee shall bear the entire risk of the Equipment being lost, destroyed or otherwise permanently unfit or unavailable for use from any cause whatsoever (an “Event of Loss”) after it has been delivered to common carrier for shipment to Lessee. If an Event of Loss shall occur with respect to any item of Equipment, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor thereof in writing. On the rental payment date following Lessor’s receipt of such notice, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to the rental payment or payments due and payable with respect to such item of Equipment on or prior to such date, plus a sum equal to the Casualty Value of such item of Equipment as of the date of such payment as set forth in such Lease. Upon the making of such payment by Lessee regarding any item of Equipment, the Rent for such item of Equipment shall cease to accrue, the term of this Lease as to such item of Equipment shall terminate and (except in the case of loss, theft or complete destruction) Lessor shall be entitled to recover possession of such item of Equipment in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 above. Provided that Lessor has received the Casualty Value of any item of Equipment, Lessee shall be entitled to the proceeds of any recovery in respect of such item of Equipment from insurance or otherwise.

                3.6 Insurance. Lessee shall obtain and maintain for the Lease Term at its own expense, property damage and liability insurance and insurance against loss or damage to the Equipment (including so-called extended coverage), as a result of theft and such other risks of loss as are normally maintained on equipment of the type leased hereunder by companies carrying on the business in which Lessee is engaged, in such amounts, in such form and with such insurers as shall be satisfactory to Lessor. Each insurance policy will name Lessee as insured and Lessor as an additional insured and loss payee thereof as Lessor’s interests may appear, and shall provide that it may not be canceled or altered without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof being given to Lessor or its successor and assigns.

5

                3.7 Indemnity. Except with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, Lessee hereby indemnifies, protects, defends and holds harmless Lessor and its successors and assigns, from and against any and all claims, liabilities (including negligence, tort and strict liabilities), demands, actions, suits, and proceedings, losses, costs, expenses and damages, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (collectively, “Claims”), arising out of, connected with, or resulting from this Agreement, any Lease or any of the Equipment, including, without limitation, the manufacture, selection, purchase, delivery, possession, condition, use, operation, or return of the Equipment. Each of the parties shall give the other prompt written notice of any Claim of which it becomes aware. The provisions of this Section 3.7 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement or any Lease.

                3.8 Prohibitions Related to Lease and Equipment. Without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Lessee shall not: (a) assign, transfer, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Lease or any rights or obligations thereunder; (b) sublease any of the Equipment; (c) create or incur, or permit to exist, any lien or encumbrance with respect to any of the Equipment, or any part thereof; (d) move any of the Equipment from the location at which it is first installed; or (e) permit any of the Equipment to be moved outside the continental limits of the United States.

                3.9 Identification. Lessee shall place and maintain permanent markings provided by Lessor on the Equipment evidencing ownership, security and other interests therein, as specified from time to time by Lessor.

                3.10 Alterations and Modifications. Lessee shall not make any additions, attachments, alterations or improvements to the Equipment without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any addition, attachment, alteration or improvement to any item of Equipment shall belong to and become the property of Lessor unless, at the request of Lessor, it is removed prior to the return of such item of Equipment by Lessee. Lessee shall be responsible for all costs relating to such removal and shall restore such item of Equipment to its operating condition that existed at the time it became subject to the applicable Lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

                3.11 Equipment to be Personal Property. Lessee acknowledges and represents that the Equipment shall be and remain personal property, notwithstanding the manner in which it may be attached or affixed to realty, and Lessee shall do all acts and enter into all agreements necessary to ensure that the Equipment remains personal property.

                3.12 Financial Statements. Lessee shall promptly furnish to Lessor such financial or other statements respecting the condition and operations of Lessee, and information respecting the Equipment, as Lessor may from time to time reasonably request, so long as Lessee is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

                3.13 Lessee Representations.

                4.3 Disposition of Equipment. In the event, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lessor repossesses any of the Equipment, Lessor may sell or lease any or all of such Equipment, at one or more public or private sales.

Any failure or delay on the part of Lessor in exercising any such right or remedy, or abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce the same, shall not operate as a waiver thereof or affect Lessor’s right thereafter to exercising the same. Waiver of any right or remedy on one occasion shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other right or remedy or of the same right or remedy on any other occasion.
