Closing Date relating to a Discount Facility Loan requested by SPE, SPE shall
submit to Lender Eligible Leases together with lease schedules and other
supporting documentation, and the following:
(a) the name of each Lessee under such Eligible Leases, together
with (i) unless previously submitted to Lender, financial
statements, to the extent available, of each such Lessee, if the
equipment value is over Fifty
6
19
Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), as of the end of such Lessee's
most recent fiscal year, and any interim financial statements of
such Lessee readily available to TSFC, SPE or CCI/Triad, all in
form and substance satisfactory to Lender, (ii) the payment
history of such Lessee under other leases entered into between
such Lessee and TSFC, and (iii) such additional financial
information pertaining to any Lessee as Lender may request;
(b) the Rent schedule for each such Eligible Lease; and
(c) such other relevant information as Lender shall reasonably
require.
3.2 Approvals. Within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of all
information required to be submitted pursuant to Section 3.1, Lender shall
advise SPE in writing if, in its sole and unlimited discretion, Lender approves
the proposed Eligible Lease and, if Lender requires the credit support of a
Guarantor, the credit of the proposed Guarantor. If Lender fails to give such
advice within such ten (10) day period, Lender shall be deemed to have declined
such credit. Lender may revoke any credit approval prior to making the
Discount Facility Loan relating to a proposed Lease if, in Lender's judgment,
the proposed Lessee or Guarantor suffers a material adverse change in its
business or financial condition. Lender shall promptly return all credit
packages to SPE relative to any rejected lease transactions.
3.3 Disbursement of Discount Facility Loan. Subject to satisfaction of
the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 and Section 5, Lender shall
make Discount Facility Loans on the Closing Date proposed in accordance with
this Section 3. The Discount Facility Loans made on the Closing Date shall be
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate Discount Facility Loan
Values of the Eligible Leases submitted by SPE pursuant to Section 3.1 and
approved by Lender pursuant to Section 3.2. If, for any reason, a Discount
Facility Loan is not made on a proposed Closing Date notwithstanding compliance
by SPE with Section 3.1, the Closing Date may be rescheduled to a date, within
ten (10) Business Days of such Closing Date, mutually agreed upon in writing by
Lender and SPE .
3.4 Loan Payments and Amortizations. Each Discount Facility Loan shall
bear interest at the Discount Facility Rate determined for such Loan and shall
be evidenced by a Security Supplement which shall set forth the repayment terms
with respect to such Discount Facility Loan in a manner satisfactory to Lender
and shall identify the Lease(s) with respect to which such Discount Facility
Loan is made. Principal of, and accrued interest on, the
7
20
Discount Facility Loans shall be payable in accordance with the Security
Supplement for such Discount Facility Loan. Each Discount Facility Loan shall
be amortized by the Lease Proceeds received by Lender with respect to the
Leases financed by such Loan, with such Lease Proceeds applied first to accrued
and unpaid interest, then to any other amounts due under such Loan, and then to
principal.
3.5 Upgrades and Additions. TSFC may, from time to time, agree with a
Lessee under a Lease that the Equipment subject to such Lease shall be upgraded
or that additional Eligible Equipment should be added to such Lease. If TSFC
and such Lessee amend such Lease to increase the Rent payable thereunder in
consideration of such upgrade or addition, SPE may request that Lender finance
the additional Lease Proceeds arising under such amendment ( the "Lease
Amendment") attributable to such increase in Rent. Not later than ten (10)
Business Days after such request, Lender shall give SPE written advice as to
whether Lender, in its sole discretion, has elected to finance such additional
Lease Proceeds. If Lender fails to give such advice within such ten (10) day
period, Lender shall be deemed to have declined to finance such additional
Lease Proceeds and shall so advise SPE in writing. If Lender agrees to finance
such additional Lease Proceeds, Lender shall, subject to satisfaction of the
conditions precedent set forth in Sections 4 and 5, make a Discount Facility
Loan in an amount equal to the aggregate increase in Rent effected by the Lease
Amendment which remains unpaid as of the applicable Closing Date, but excluding
any such increase in Rent which is past due, discounted at the Discount
Facility Rate determined on the applicable Closing Date. The Closing Date with
respect to such Discount Facility Loan shall be a date agreed upon in writing
by Lender and SPE. If Lender agrees to make such a Discount Facility Loan, the
Lease Amendment shall be considered a "Lease" for all purposes of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5). If SPE finances such
upgrades or additions through a source other than Lender and does not prepay in
accordance with Section 3.6, SPE agrees that any security interest granted to a
source other than Lender shall not conflict with Lender's security interest.
3.6 Optional Prepayment: Lender Refusal to Finance Upgrades or Additions.
If Lender elects not to finance increased Lease Proceeds related to upgrades or
additions pursuant to Section 3.5, SPE may give Lender not less than ten (10)
days prior written notice of its intention to prepay the Discount Facility Loan
made to finance the Lease in respect of which an upgrade or addition has been
made. On the first Loan Repayment Date to occur after the ten (10) day notice
period has elapsed, SPE shall (i) prepay the outstanding principal balance of
such Discount Facility Loan made to finance such Lease and (ii) pay all accrued
and unpaid interest on such Discount Facility Loan to the date of prepayment.
No Prepayment Fee shall be payable in respect of an optional prepayment made
pursuant to this Section 3.6.
8
21
3.7 Mandatory Prepayment: Termination of Lease. If a Lessee voluntarily
terminates a Lease before its scheduled expiration, SPE shall prepay the
Discount Facility Loan made to finance such Lease on the Loan Repayment Date
immediately following such termination. On such Loan Repayment Date, SPE shall
pay to Lender (i) the Loan Repayment Amount with respect to the Loan made to
finance such Lease and (ii) the Prepayment Fee.
3.8 Mandatory Prepayment: Casualty. If any Equipment subject to a Lease
is lost or damaged, and cannot be repaired or replaced with substantially
similar Equipment by the first Loan Repayment Date occurring not less than
thirty (30) days after such loss or damage, SPE shall prepay the Discount
Facility Loan made to finance such Lease on such Loan Repayment Date. On such
Loan Repayment Date, SPE shall pay to Lender the Loan Repayment Amount with
respect to the Loan made to finance such Lease. No Prepayment Fee shall be
payable in respect to a mandatory prepayment made pursuant to this Section 3.8.
3.9 Mandatory Prepayment: Rent Default. If any Rent under any Lease
financed or refinanced by a Discount Facility Loan shall remain unpaid for a
period of ninety (90) days from the date when due, SPE shall prepay such Loan
up to the Net Loss Pool in accordance with Section 8.4. No Prepayment Fee
shall be payable in respect to a mandatory prepayment made pursuant to this
Section 3.9.
3.10 No Other Prepayments Permitted. No Discount Facility Loan may be
prepaid except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement unless SPE pays
together with the Loan Repayment Amount for such Discount Facility Loan the
Prepayment Fee.
3.11 Limited Recourse. Lender agrees that, except as provided in this
Section 3.11, Section 3.9, Section 3.12, Section 8, and Section 10 with respect
to Remarketing Expenses and Section 11, each Discount Facility Loan is
nonrecourse to SPE and that the repayment of each Discount Facility Loan shall
be obtained solely from the Lease Proceeds of the Leases, Proceeds of the
Equipment and the other collateral in which Lender has been granted a security
interest pursuant to Section 6; provided, however, that SPE shall be jointly
and severally liable (without any limitation on recourse) with TSFC (i) if (a)
either TSFC or SPE shall fail to pay over to Lender any Lease Proceeds received
by TSFC or SPE and due Lender hereunder, in which case SPE shall be liable for
the amount of the Lease Proceeds not so paid over plus interest accrued thereon
at the Late Payment Rate from the date the Lease Proceeds were required to be
paid over to Lender, or (b) the fees and payments paid by a Lessee to SPE or
TSFC upon termination of a Lease are less than the Loan Repayment Amount
relating to such Lease and (ii) for all payments required to
9
22
be made pursuant to Section 3.8, whether or not insurance proceeds received by
SPE or TSFC are at least equal to such payments.
3.12 Full Recourse. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, including,
without limitation, any limitation on recourse against SPE, Discount Facility
Loans in the aggregate principal amount of the "Maximum Full Recourse Amount"
stated in the Schedule 1 document at any one time outstanding may be with
recourse to SPE. Such Loans shall be secured by Leases which are Eligible
Leases except that the creditworthiness of the Lessee may not otherwise be
acceptable to Lender. A Discount Facility Loan with recourse shall be
designated as such by mutual written agreement of Lender and SPE, as the case
may be, prior to the Closing Date of such Loans. Upon occurrence at any time
of any default under such Leases, SPE shall repay the Discount Facility Loan
made to finance such Leases on the Loan Repayment Date occurring not more than
thirty (30) days after such default. On such Loan Repayment Date, SPE shall pay
(i) the outstanding principal balance of the Discount Facility Loan made to
finance such Leases, and (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Discount
Facility Loan to the date of payment. No Prepayment Fee shall be payable in
respect of any such prepayment. The amounts paid to Lender by SPE pursuant to
this paragraph shall not be charged against the First Loss Provision defined in
Section 8.4.

INTRODUCTION
1. CCI/Triad is in the business of manufacturing and marketing computer

leasing the same to the end-users thereof, some part of which leases are sold

3. TSFC, from time to time, enters into sale and collection assignment
agreements with SPE under which TSFC sells to SPE receivables due TSFC under
the leases and assigns a security interest in the leases, and the equipment
subject to such leases.
4. SPE has entered into a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of January
1, 1997 with Lender (the "Loan and Security Agreement") pursuant to which
Lender agrees to lend to SPE the discounted value of certain lease receivables
and SPE agrees, in order to secure repayment of such loans, to grant to Lender

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants of the parties,
it is agreed as follows:
1

Customers interested in leasing a System the alternative of entering into a
Lease with TSFC upon such terms as shall be fixed from time to time by TSFC.
TSFC shall have and retain the right to reject any Customer interested in
acquiring a System, but if TSFC and the Customer enter into a Lease with
respect to a System, then CCI/Triad agrees to sell to TSFC such System on the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
3. Sale of System. If TSFC and a Customer enter into a Lease with respect
to a System, then CCI/Triad agrees to sell such System to TSFC, to install the
System at the location designated by Customer, and to provide all installation
and initial services required to obtain the acceptance by Customer of said
System.
4. Price. The sales price of any System sold by CCI/Triad to TSFC in
accordance with this Agreement shall be CCI/Triad's usual list price for the
System, less any discount, acceptable to CCI/Triad, agreed upon in writing
between TSFC and the Customer, plus all insurance, transportation, customs,
license, registration, sales, use, excise, or other taxes or assessments and,
if applicable, all costs arising from the exportation of a System from the

2
53
equipment described in the invoice. The invoice shall further constitute
confirmation by CCI/Triad of the representation and warranty by CCI/Triad to
TSFC and its respective successors and assigns, that (i) CCI/Triad had good and
valid title to the equipment and software described in the invoice, free of all
liens, security interests, encumbrances, pledges, charges and claims of any

its rights and interests in the Leases, computer systems, software and
equipment, as appropriate to provide security for the Loan and Security
Agreement.
7. Warranty. CCI/Triad warrants to TSFC and Lender only that the Systems
to be delivered hereunder, at the time of delivery and for a period of ninety
(90) days thereafter, will be free from defects in material and workmanship.
CCI/Triad's liability under the foregoing warranty shall be limited to the
repair or replacement, at its option and expense, of any defective or non
conforming part of the System, F.O.B. manufacture or repair site. CCI/Triad
makes no other warranty or representation to TSFC, SPE, Lender or any Customer,
whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability
or fitness for a particular purpose. TSFC is authorized to extend to the
Customer the foregoing warranty provision and agrees that no Lease entered into
by it shall contain any warranty other than the foregoing.
8. Software. CCI/Triad grants to TSFC and SPE a non-exclusive license,
with the right to relicense any Customer, to use (and to assign a security
interest therein to Lender) any and all software required to operate, a System
sold hereunder.

behalf and for the account of CCI/Triad that CCI/Triad will defend, at its own
expense, any action or proceeding brought against a Customer to establish that
all or part of a System (including software) constitutes an infringement of or
violation of any lawful patent or copyright and will pay any damages or cost
awarded therein against any Customer by reason of any such infringement,
including reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Lender provided that
CCI/Triad shall be informed in writing of any such proceeding as soon as is
practicable after its commencement and given the right to control the defense
thereof. If any part of the System is found by final judgment of any competent
tribunal to infringe or violate any patent or copyright, and the use thereof is
enjoined, then CCI/Triad shall, within ninety (90) days, at its sole election
and
3
54
expense, either (i) obtain authorization for the Customer or Lender or its
assignee to continue using the part thereof so enjoined, or (ii) replace the
part thereof so enjoined with a comparable, non infringing part, or (iii)
modify the part thereof so enjoined to eliminate the infringement, or (iv)
remove the System and repurchase the System for the unpaid portion of the
purchase price or the unamortized portion of the capitalized value of the Lease
related thereto, whichever is applicable. The foregoing states CCI/Triad's
whole complete responsibility or liability with respect thereto.
10. Insurance. CCI/Triad agrees to maintain adequate insurance on any
System sold hereunder for the full value thereof until such date as TSFC
acquires title to the System.
11. Support.
(a) CCI/Triad represents to Lender that it owns 100% of the stock of
TSFC and TSFC owns 100% of SPE, and CCI/Triad agrees that it will maintain its
existing control of TSFC and TSFC agrees it will maintain its existing control
of SPE.
(b) CCI/Triad and TSFC each agree that they each will cause SPE to
comply in a timely manner with its Obligations herein and under the Loan and
Security Agreement by making equity contributions or subordinated loans to SPE
in amounts sufficient to enable SPE to comply with such Obligations.
(c) SPE, TSFC and CCI/Triad authorize Lender, without notice or demand,
and without affecting their respective liabilities hereunder, from time to
time, to:
(i) renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the
time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Obligations of Lessees
under Leases assigned to Lender or the Obligations or any part thereof;
(ii) take and hold security for such Obligations or the Obligations,
and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; and
(iii) apply such security and direct the order and manner of sale
thereof as Lender, in its discretion, may determine. Lender may, without
notice, assign its rights in this Agreement in whole or in part.
(d) (i) SPE, TSFC and CCI/Triad each respectively waive any right to
require Lender to (a) proceed against any other party, or (b) proceed against
or exhaust any security held from SPE or (c) pursue any other remedy in
Lender's power whatsoever. SPE, TSFC and CCI/Triad each respectively waive
4
55
any defense arising by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the
liability of any other person. Until all the Obligations of Customers under
Leases assigned to Lender and the Obligations shall have been paid in full,
SPE, TSFC and CCI/Triad each respectively waive any interest in the security
held by Lender and any benefit, and any right to participate in, any security
now or hereafter held by Lender.

presentments, demands for performance, notices of non-performance, protests,
notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this Agreement, and each

liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof.
(e) CCI/Triad agrees that it shall assume all liability for, and shall
indemnify and hold harmless TSFC, Lender and their respective assignees from
any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses, damages and
liabilities, including attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to any
negligent acts of TSFC claimed to have been committed in connection with the
sale or lease of Systems to Customers or such assignees.
12. Term. This Agreement shall continue in effect until terminated by
mutual agreement of the parties; provided, however, that any party may
terminate this Agreement upon three (3) months' written notice of such
termination to the other parties, but no such termination shall have the effect
of terminating any of the rights, obligations or liabilities of any party with
respect to Systems theretofore sold and purchased pursuant hereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect, and may not be terminated, as long as any Lease assigned by SPE to
Lender pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement remains in effect.

in the preparation and execution of such documents and the taking of such
actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions and purposes

such facilities for SPE as are reasonably required to conduct the business of
SPE. SPE agrees to compensate TSFC for its services at reasonable fees as
mutually agreed from time to time.
