promptly cause such item to be repaired and restored to the condition and value it had prior to
such Event of Loss, at its own cost and expense; provided that Lessee need not make such repair if
the cost thereof would exceed the Casualty Value of such item of Equipment in which case the item
of Equipment will be treated as having been destroyed), Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the Rent
payment date following Lessor’s receipt of such notice (or, if none, 30 days after such Event of

specified in Annex A or in the applicable Certificate of Acceptance, or such other location as is
permitted under the Agreement.
3. EQUIPMENT COST. The “Equipment Cost” for any item of Equipment is the sum of (a) the equipment
purchase price specified in the invoice now or hereafter issued by the Vendor in relation to the
Equipment, plus (b) all insurance, installation, cabling, maintenance, software and related
expenses to the extent paid or financed by Lessor in its discretion (collectively, “Soft Costs”)
and as may be reflected in Annex A hereto. The aggregate Equipment Cost for all Equipment under
this Schedule is $2,326,484.10.

5. LEASE TERM. The “Lease Term” of this Lease shall begin on the Commencement Date and shall
consist of an “Original Term” equal to 36 months, and the Original Term shall automatically be
extended on a month-to-month basis (each, an “Extended Term”) unless either party notifies the
other not later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Original Term or, for any Extended
Term, thirty (30) days prior to the end of such Extended Term, of its election not to extend such
lease term or extended term; provided, however that if this Schedule provides for a $1.00 purchase
option, then this Schedule shall automatically end on the last day of the Original Term. The
“Commencement Date” of this Lease and the “Acceptance Date” of the Equipment shall be the earlier
to occur of the execution date specified in the certificate of acceptance, if any, delivered by
Lessee (“Certificate of Acceptance”) relating to the Equipment, or if the Equipment is delivered in
multiple shipments, relating to the last item of Equipment delivered to Lessee. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained in any Lease Document, Lessee shall be deemed to have
irrevocably accepted, for purposes of the Lease, the Equipment on the Commencement Date. Lessee
agrees to complete, sign and return to Lessor any Certificate of Acceptance sent to Lessee, within
five days of Lessee’s receipt and acceptance, or deemed acceptance, of the relevant Equipment, and,
if Lessee fails to do so, Lessee shall (i) be deemed to have accepted and ratified such Certificate
of Acceptance and (ii) be deemed to have authorized Lessor as attorney-in-fact, coupled with an
interest, to complete and sign the Certificate of Acceptance on behalf and in the name of Lessee.
6. RENT PAYMENTS. Rent for the Original Term shall be payable in 12 consecutive Quarterly payments
in advance, on the first day of each such period, commencing with the first day of the calendar
month immediately following the Commencement Date (unless the Commencement Date is the first day of
the month and rent is payable in advance, in which
CISCO CONFIDENTIAL
case the first Rent payment shall be due on such date). Lessor agrees that no Rent shall be
payable for any period prior to the Commencement Date or for the period from the Commencement Date
(provided such date is not the first day of the month) until, but not including, the first day of
the calendar month immediately following the Commencement Date. Unless otherwise agreed in writing
by the Lessor at such time, the Rent for any Extended Term shall be payable monthly, in advance,
and shall be an amount equivalent to that of the original Rent, adjusted, as applicable, for Soft
Costs.
7. END OF TERM PURCHASE OPTION PRICE. Lessee may or shall, as the case may be, purchase the
Equipment in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 8 for the following amount (as checked and
completed by Lessor):
þ(a) | $ 1.00 | |||||
o(b) | Fair Market Value (as defined in Paragraph 8). |
8. END OF TERM PURCHASE OPTION.
(a) If option (b) is selected at Paragraph 7, this Lease shall be deemed an “FMV Lease”
and Lessee shall have an end of term purchase option as follows. (If no option is selected at
Paragraph 7, option (b) shall be deemed to apply.) Provided this Lease has not been terminated
earlier and there exists no Event of Default or event which with notice, lapse of time or both,
would be an Event of Default, not earlier than 90 days and not later than 30 days before the end of
the Original Term, Lessee may deliver to Lessor an irrevocable notice electing to purchase all (but
not less than all) of the Equipment at the end of the Original Term for an amount equal to the
amount specified in the provision selected (or deemed selected) in Paragraph 7, which amount Lessee
shall pay to Lessor on the last day of the Original Term. If no such notice is delivered by Lessee
to Lessor within such period, Lessee shall be deemed to have waived any right to purchase such
Equipment.
(b) If option (a) of Paragraph 7 is selected, Lessee shall pay Lessor the amount specified in
such option on the last day of the Original Term.
7 (c) Upon full payment to it of the amount specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Paragraph 8,
Lessor shall transfer its right, title and interest in and to such Equipment to Lessee without
recourse or warranty, except that Lessor shall warrant that such Equipment is free and clear of
any lien or encumbrance arising by or through Lessor.
(d) “Fair Market Value” shall mean the value which would be obtained in an arm’s-length
transaction between an informed and willing buyer-user (other than a lessee currently in
possession or a used equipment dealer) under no compulsion to buy, and an informed and willing
seller under no compulsion to sell and, in such determination, costs of removal from the location
of current use shall not be a deduction from such value. Fair Market Value shall be determined by
the mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee in accordance with the preceding sentence or, if Lessee
and Lessor cannot agree within 20 days after Lessee’s notice of election to purchase under clause
(a) of this Paragraph 8, by a qualified independent equipment appraiser mutually acceptable to
Lessor and Lessee with the cost to be split equally between Lessor and Lessee.
9. CASUALTY VALUE. The Casualty Value of the Equipment shall at any time be the greater of (a) Fair
Market Value at such time; or (b) as of the date of shipment from the Vendor, 110% of Equipment
Cost, such amount to decrease from month to month thereafter by 1.69% of Equipment Cost.
