P.L.2005, c.51, as amended by the Elections Transparency Act, P.L.2023, c.30, codified at N.J.S.A. 19:44A- 20.13 to 20.25 (“Chapter 51”) and Executive Order 333 (2023).

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.13 et seq. (P.L.2005, c.51, rev.

A contract awarded under a process that includes public bidding or competitive contracting pursuant to State contracts law shall constitute a fair and open process. N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.23. The agency conducting the procurement will need to determine whether the procurement meets the Election Transparency Act definition of a “fair and open process” and instruct vendors on the applicability of Chapter 51.

A. For Contracts Awarded Pursuant to a Fair and Open Process

Pursuant to P.L.2005, c.51, as amended by the Elections Transparency Act, P.L.2023, c.30, codified at N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.13 to 20.25 (“Chapter 51”), and Executive Order No. 333 (2023), contracts awarded pursuant to a fair and open process do not require a certification or disclosure of any solicitation or contribution of money, or pledge of contribution, including in-kind contributions.

B. For Contracts Awarded Pursuant to a Non-Fair and Open Process Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.13 et seq. (P.L.2005, c.51, rev. P.L.2023, c.30), and Executive Order 333 (2023), the State shall not enter into a Contract to procure services or any material, supplies or equipment, or to acquire, sell, or lease any land or building from any Business Entity, where the value of the transaction exceeds $17,500, if that Business Entity has solicited or made any contribution of money, or pledge of contribution, including in-kind contributions, to a Continuing Political Committee or to a candidate committee and/or election fund of any candidate for or holder of the public office of Governor or Lieutenant Governor during certain specified time periods.

contribution; (4) Make or solicit any contribution on the condition or with the agreement that it will be contributed to a campaign committee

or any candidate of holder of the public office of Governor or Lieutenant Governor; (5) Engage or employ a lobbyist or consultant with the intent or understanding that such lobbyist or consultant would make or

solicit any contribution, which if made or solicited by the business entity itself, would subject that entity to the restrictions of the Legislation;

(6) Fund contributions made by third parties, including consultants, attorneys, family members, and employees; (7) Engage in any exchange of contributions to circumvent the intent of the Legislation; or (8) Directly or indirectly through or by any other person or means, do any act which would subject that entity to the restrictions

of the Legislation.

A Continuing Political Committee does not include a “political party committee,” a “legislative leadership committee,” or an “independent expenditure committee,” as defined in N.J.S.A. 19:44A-3.

3.11 EMPLOYEE MISCLASSIFICATION In accordance with Governor Murphy’s Executive Order #25 and the Task Force’s July 2019 Report, employers are required to properly classify their employees.

B. Such service is either outside the usual course of business for which such service is performed, or that such service is performed outside of all places of business of the enterprise for which such service is performed; and

C. Such individual is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, profession or business.

This test has been adopted by New Jersey under its Wage & Hour, Wage Payment and Unemployment Insurance Laws to determine whether a worker is properly classified.

(A) If the contractor or subcontractor has a referral agreement or arrangement with a union for a construction trade, the contractor or subcontractor shall, within three business days of the contract award, seek assurances from the union that it will cooperate with the contractor or subcontractor as it fulfills its affirmative action obligations under this contract and in accordance with the rules promulgated by the Treasurer pursuant to N.J.S.A. 10:5-31 et. seq., as supplemented and amended from time to time and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The contractor or subcontractor shall hire or schedule those individuals who satisfy appropriate qualification standards in conformity with the equal employment opportunity and non- discrimination principles set forth in this chapter. However, a contractor or subcontractor shall determine that the individual at least possesses the requisite skills, and experience recognized by a union, apprentice program or a referral agency, provided the referral agency is acceptable to the Dept. of LWD, Construction EEO Monitoring Program. If necessary, the contractor or subcontractor shall hire or schedule minority and women workers who qualify as trainees pursuant to these rules. All of the requirements, however, are limited by the provisions of (C) below.

However, where the practices of a union or apprenticeship program will result in the exclusion of minorities and women or the failure to refer minorities and women consistent with the targeted county employment goal, the contractor or subcontractor shall consider for employment persons referred pursuant to (B) above without regard to such agreement or arrangement; provided further, however, that the contractor or subcontractor shall not be required to employ women and minority advanced trainees and trainees in numbers which result in the employment of advanced trainees and trainees as a percentage of the total workforce for the construction trade, which percentage significantly exceeds the apprentice to journey worker ratio specified in the applicable collective bargaining agreement, or in the absence of a collective bargaining agreement, exceeds the ratio established by practice in the area for said construction trade. Also, the contractor or subcontractor agrees that, in implementing the procedures of (B) above, it shall, where applicable, employ minority and women workers residing within the geographical jurisdiction of the union.

IX. Inspection and Acceptance

9.1 Laws and Regulations. Any and all Products offered and furnished must comply fully with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.

9.2 Applicability. Unless otherwise specified in the Participating Addendum, or ordering document, the terms of this Section IX will apply. This section is not intended to limit rights and remedies under the applicable commercial code.

9.3 With the exception of drop-shipped Devices, Purchasing Entity shall confirm delivery, installation and Acceptance of all Devices covered by each purchase or lease Order, by signing a Delivery and Acceptance Certificate (D&A), as referenced in Exhibit B, Sample D&A Certificate, which shows Acceptance of the Device(s) and allows Contractor to invoice for the Device(s).

9.5 Failure to sign the D&A or reject the Device(s) within the foregoing five (5) day period shall be deemed as Acceptance by the Purchasing Entity; however, it does not relieve the Contractor of liability for material (nonconformity that substantially impairs value) defects subsequently revealed when Devices are put to use. Acceptance of such Devices may be revoked in accordance with the provisions of the applicable commercial code, and the Contractor shall be liable for any resulting expense incurred by the Purchasing Entity in relation to the preparation and shipping of Devices(s) rejected and returned, or for which Acceptance is revoked.

9.6.1 Devices that do not meet Contractor specifications may be rejected within the 5-day period specified in section 9.5.

If any services do not conform to contract requirements, the Purchasing Entity may require the Contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in Order amount. When defects cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Purchasing Entity may require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to contract requirements and reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of services performed.

14.9 Waiver of Breach. Failure of the Lead State, Participating Entity, Contractor, or Purchasing Entity to declare a default or enforce any rights and remedies will not operate as a waiver under this Master Agreement, any Participating Addendum, or any Purchase Order. Any waiver by the Lead State, Participating Entity, Contractor, or Purchasing Entity must be in writing. Waiver by the Contractor, Lead State or Participating Entity of any default, right or remedy under this Master Agreement or Participating Addendum, or by Purchasing Entity with respect to any Purchase Order, or breach of any terms or requirements of this Master Agreement, a Participating Addendum, or Purchase Order will not be construed or operate as a waiver of any subsequent default or breach of such term or requirement, or of any other term or requirement under this Master Agreement, any Participating Addendum, or any Purchase Order.

Lessee’s UCC Section 9-307 Location __________________

STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT MASTER FAIR MARKET VALUE (FMV) LEASE AGREEMENT

This State and Local Government Master FMV Lease Agreement (together with Exhibits A and B attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof, (this “Master Lease Agreement”), dated as of _________, is entered into by and between Hewlett-Packard Financial Services Company1, a Delaware corporation (“Lessor”), and ____________, ____________, an agency, department, institution of higher education, or political subdivision of the State of ____ (“Lessee”). Capitalized terms used in this Master Lease Agreement without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 30. 1. PURPOSE OF MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT. The purpose of this Master Lease Agreement is to set forth the general terms and

conditions upon which Lessor shall lease to Lessee, and Lessee shall lease from Lessor, items of Hardware, Software or both (such Hardware and Software being collectively referred to as “Equipment”). 2. COMMENCEMENT PROCEDURES. Subject to the other terms and conditions contained in this Master Lease Agreement and the

applicable Lease Schedule, Lessee shall enter into individual Leases (hereinafter defined) with Lessor as follows: (a) Execution of Lease Schedule. Lessor and Lessee mutually agree to enter into a Lease by executing a Lease Schedule in the form of Exhibit A with such changes as Lessor and Lessee shall have agreed to as conclusively evidenced by their execution thereof. Each such Lease Schedule shall specifically identify (by serial number or other identifying characteristics) the items of Equipment to be leased under such Lease Schedule (other than items of System Software, which shall be deemed to be items of Software leased under the Lease Schedule pursuant to which the related items of Hardware are leased). Each Lease Schedule, when executed by both Lessee and Lessor, together with this Master Lease Agreement, shall constitute a separate and distinct lease (“Lease”), enforceable according to its terms. (b) Acceptance; Initial Term of Leases. Lessee shall accept the Equipment subject to a Lease in accordance with Section 3. The Initial Term of each Lease shall begin on the Acceptance Date of the Equipment subject to such Lease and shall continue for the period described in the applicable Lease Schedule unless a Non-appropriation shall have occurred. (c) Adjustments to Lease Schedule. Lessee acknowledges that the Total Cost of Equipment and the related Rent payments set forth in any Lease Schedule may be estimates, and if the final invoice from the Seller attached to the related Acceptance Certificate(s) specifies a Total Cost that is less than the estimated Total Cost set forth in the Lease Schedule, Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to reduce the applicable Total Cost and Rent payment on the Lease Schedule by up to ten percent (10%) to reflect such final invoice amount (the “Final Invoice Amount”). All references in this Master Lease Agreement and any Lease Schedule to Total Cost and Rent shall mean the amounts thereof specified in the applicable Lease , as adjusted pursuant to this paragraph. (d) Payment by Lessor. Within 30 days after Lessee’s delivery to Lessor of a properly completed and executed Acceptance Certificate and all other documentation necessary to establish Lessee’s acceptance of such Equipment under the related Lease and Lessor’s acceptance of such Acceptance Certificate, Lessor shall pay the Contractor for the Equipment. Lessor shall not accept the Acceptance Certificate until it has received from Lessee (1) evidence of insurance with respect to the Equipment in compliance with Section 13 hereof, (2) an opinion of Lessee’s counsel, if required by Lessor, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and (3) any other documents or items reasonably required by Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall not be obligated to pay to the Contractor for the Equipment if a Lessee Default has occurred or an event has occurred and is continuing that with the passage of time or provision of notice would constitute a Lessee Default. 3. ACCEPTANCE OF EQUIPMENT.

(a) Inspection of Equipment. Lessee agrees to inspect all Equipment as soon as reasonably practicable after the delivery thereof to Lessee. (b) Acceptance Certificate. Upon the satisfactory inspection of the Equipment by Lessee, or if acceptance requirements for such Equipment are specified in the applicable Purchase Documents, as soon as such requirements are met, Lessee shall unconditionally and irrevocably accept the Equipment by executing and delivering to Lessor a properly completed Acceptance Certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit B. 4. LESSEE’S END-OF-LEASE-TERM OPTIONS. Lessee shall have the following options in respect of each Lease at the end of each of

the Initial Term, any Renewal Term and any optional extension of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term:

a. Purchase Option. As an accommodation to Lessee, Lessor agrees to provide Lessee with notice ninety (90) days prior to the expiration

of the Initial Term that an End-of-Term Notice from Lessee is due; provided, however, that Lessor’s failure to provide Lessee with said notice shall not be deemed to have relieved Lessee of any of Lessee’s obligations or liabilities under this Lease Schedule or the Master Lease Agreement. Lessee may elect, by delivering to Lessor an End-of-Term Notice at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, any Renewal Term or any optional extension of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, to purchase any or all Units of Equipment then

subject to such Lease (other than items of Software that may not be sold by Lessor under the terms of any applicable License Agreement) for an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Units of Equipment as of the end of the Then Applicable Term, provided no Lessee Default shall have occurred and be continuing. In the event of such an election, Lessee shall pay such amount to Lessor, in immediately available funds, on or before the last day of the Then Applicable Term. If Lessee shall have so elected to purchase any of the Units of Equipment, shall have so paid the applicable purchase price and shall have fulfilled the terms and conditions of this Master Lease Agreement, then on the last day of the Then Applicable Term (1) the Lease with respect to such Units of Equipment shall terminate and, except as provided in Section 26, Lessee shall be relieved of all of its obligations in favor of Lessor with respect to such Units of Equipment, and (2) Lessor shall transfer all of its interest in such Units of Equipment to Lessee “AS IS, WHERE IS,” without any warranty, express or implied, from Lessor, other than the absence of any liens or claims by or through Lessor. In the event Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on the Fair Market Value of any Units of Equipment, Lessor shall, at Lessee’s expense, select an independent appraiser to conclusively determine such amount. b. Reserved.

c. Return. Lessee may elect, by delivering to Lessor an End-of-Term Notice at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, any

Renewal Term or any optional extension of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, to return any or all of the Units of Equipment then subject to such Lease Schedule in accordance with Section 10 of this Master Lease Agreement. IF LESSEE SHALL HAVE DELIVERED TO LESSOR AN END-OF-TERM NOTICE BY THE DATE SET FORTH HEREIN WITH RESPECT TO A LEASE, BUT SHALL HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY FAILED TO COMPLY WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS ARISING FROM ITS ELECTIONS SPECIFIED THEREIN (E.G., LESSEE SHALL HAVE FAILED, ON OR BEFORE THE LAST DAY OF THE THEN APPLICABLE TERM (1) TO PAY LESSOR THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR EQUIPMENT TO BE PURCHASED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 4(A) ABOVE, OR (2)TO RETURN TO LESSOR EQUIPMENT TO BE RETURNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 4(C) ABOVE), THEN LESSEE SHALL CONTINUE TO PAY TO LESSOR RENT IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE MONTHLY RENT PAYMENT IN EFFECT DURING THE INITIAL TERM (OR THE APPROPRIATE PRO RATA PORTION OF THE RENT PAYMENT THEN IN EFFECT IN THE CASE OF RENT PAYABLE OTHER THAN ON A MONTHLY BASIS), ON A MONTH TO MONTH BASIS WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL NOTICE OR DOCUMENTATION UNTIL THE MUTUALLY AGREED UPON RETURN DATE OF THE EQUIPMENT. ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT AND THE APPLICABLE LEASE SCHEDULE SHALL CONTINUE TO APPLY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 4 TO THE CONTRARY, IF ANY LESSEE DEFAULT SHALL HAVE OCCURRED AND BE CONTINUING AT ANY TIME DURING THE LAST 90 DAYS OF THE THEN APPLICABLE TERM OF ANY LEASE SCHEDULE, LESSOR MAY CANCEL ANY RENEWAL TERM OR OPTIONAL EXTENSION OF THE THEN APPLICABLE TERM IMMEDIATELY UPON WRITTEN NOTICE TO LESSEE. 5. RENT; LATE CHARGES. As lease payments (“Rent”) for the Equipment under any Lease Schedule, Lessee agrees to pay the

amounts specified in the applicable Lease Schedule on the due dates specified in the applicable Lease Schedule. Lessee agrees to pay Lessor interest on any Rent payment or other amount due hereunder that is not paid within 15 days of its due date, at the rate of 1% per month (or such lesser rate as is the maximum rate allowable under applicable law). Lessee will make provision for such payments in budgets submitted to its governing body for the purpose of obtaining funding for the payments. 6. LEASES NON-CANCELABLE; NET LEASES; WAIVER OF DEFENSES TO PAYMENT. IT IS SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT EACH LEASE HEREUNDER SHALL BE NON-CANCELABLE (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 7 HEREOF), AND THAT EACH LEASE HEREUNDER IS A NET LEASE (SO THAT AMONG OTHER THINGS LESSEE SHALL PAY IN ADDITION TO THE RENT, TAXES, INSURANCE AND MAINTENANCE CHARGES RELATED TO THE EQUPMENT). LESSEE AGREES THAT IT HAS AN ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL OBLIGATION TO PAY ALL RENT AND OTHER AMOUNTS WHEN DUE. LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ANY RECOUPMENT, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER DEFENSE AT LAW OR IN EQUITY TO ANY RENT OR OTHER AMOUNT DUE WITH RESPECT TO ANY LEASE, WHETHER ANY SUCH DEFENSE ARISES OUT OF THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT, ANY LEASE SCHEDULE, ANY CLAIM BY LESSEE AGAINST LESSOR, LESSOR’S ASSIGNEES OR SUPPLIER OR OTHERWISE. IF THE EQUIPMENT IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, DOES NOT OPERATE OR INTEGRATE AS REPRESENTED OR WARRANTED BY SUPPLIER OR IS UNSATISFACTORY FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, LESSEE WILL MAKE ANY CLAIM ON ACCOUNT OF THOSE ISSUES SOLELY AGAINST SUPPLIER AND WILL NEVERTHELESS PAY ALL SUMS DUE WITH RESPECT TO EACH LEASE. 7. NONAPPROPRIATION. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Master Lease Agreement to the contrary, in the event that sufficient

funds are not appropriated and budgeted by Lessee’s governing body or are not otherwise available from other legally available sources in any fiscal period for the payment of Rent and other amounts due under any Lease, the Lease shall terminate on the last day of the fiscal period for which appropriations were received or other amounts are available to pay amounts due under the Lease without penalty or expense to Lessee of any kind whatsoever, except as to the portions of Rent payments or other amounts herein agreed upon for which funds shall have been appropriated or are otherwise available. Lessee will immediately notify the Lessor or its assignee of such occurrence. In the event of such termination, Lessee shall immediately cease all use of the Equipment, and shall immediately de-install, disassemble, pack, crate, and return the Equipment subject to such Lease to Lessor (all in accordance with Section 10 of this Master Lease Agreement). Such Equipment shall be in the same condition as when received by Lessee (reasonable wear, tear and depreciation resulting from normal and proper use excepted), shall be in good operating order and maintenance as required by this Lease, shall be free and clear of any liens (except Lessor’s lien) and shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Lessee agrees to execute and deliver to Lessor all documents reasonably requested by Lessor or evidence the transfer of legal and beneficial title to such Equipment to Lessor and to evidence the termination of Lessee’s interest in such Equipment. Lessor will have all legal and equitable rights and remedies to take possession of the Equipment. At Lessor’s request, Lessee shall promptly provide supplemental documentation as to such Non-Appropriation satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee’s exercise of its rights pursuant to this Section 7 shall not affect the survival of any other provisions, including but not

limited to Section 16, (other than the obligation to lease the Equipment and pay amounts due under the Lease) which survive the termination of the Lease. 8. ASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASE DOCUMENTS. Lessee assigns to Lessor all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to (a) the

Equipment described in each Lease Schedule, and (b) the Purchase Documents relating to such Equipment. Such assignment of the Purchase Documents is an assignment of rights only; nothing in this Master Lease Agreement shall be deemed to have relieved Lessee of any obligation or liability under any of the Purchase Documents, except that, as between Lessee and Lessor, Lessor shall pay the Contractor for the Equipment in accordance with Section 2(d) hereof. Lessee represents and warrants that it has reviewed and approved the Purchase Documents. In addition, if Lessor shall so request, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a document acceptable to Lessor whereby Seller acknowledges and provides any required consent to such assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, Lessee covenants and agrees that it shall at all times during the Total Term of each Lease comply in all respects with the terms of any License Agreement relating to any Equipment leased thereunder. IT IS ALSO SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT NEITHER SUPPLIER NOR ANY SALESPERSON OF SUPPLIER IS AN AGENT OF LESSOR, NOR ARE THEY AUTHORIZED TO WAIVE OR ALTER ANY TERMS OF THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT OR ANY LEASE SCHEDULE. 9. ASSIGNMENT OF SUPPLIER WARRANTIES. To the extent permitted, Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee, for the Total Term of any

Lease, all Equipment warranties provided by any Supplier in the applicable Purchase Documents. Lessee shall have the right to take any action it deems appropriate to enforce such warranties. In the event Lessee is precluded from enforcing any such warranty in its name, Lessor shall, upon Lessee’s request, take reasonable steps to enforce such warranty. In such circumstances, Lessee shall, promptly upon demand, reimburse Lessor for all expenses incurred by Lessor in enforcing the Supplier warranty. Any recovery resulting from any such enforcement efforts shall be divided between Lessor and Lessee as their interests may appear. 10. EQUIPMENT RETURN REQUIREMENTS. At any time Lessee is required to return Equipment to Lessor under the terms of this Master

Lease Agreement or any Lease Schedule, Lessee shall cause the Contractor to de-install and make the Equipment available for pick-up pursuant to the terms and conditions stated in the applicable Lease Schedule. In the case of any item of Software or License Agreement subject to a Lease Schedule, at the time of the occurrence of a Non-Appropriation or a Lessee Default, Lessee shall also be automatically deemed to have reassigned any License Agreement, and all Software. 11. EQUIPMENT USE, MAINTENANCE, AND ADDITIONS. Lessee is solely responsible for the selection, and operation of the Equipment

and all costs related thereto. Lessee shall at all times operate and maintain the Equipment in good working order, repair, condition and appearance, and in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations. On reasonable prior notice to Lessee, Lessor and Lessor’s agents shall have the right, during Lessee’s normal business hours and subject to Lessee’s reasonable, standard security procedures, to enter the premises where the Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting the Equipment and observing its use. If Lessor shall have provided to Lessee any tags or identifying labels, Lessor shall affix and maintain in a prominent position on each item of Equipment such tags or labels to indicate Lessor’s ownership of the Equipment. Except in the case of Software, Lessee shall, at its expense, enter into and maintain and enforce at all times during the Total Term of each Lease a maintenance agreement to service and maintain the related Equipment, upon terms, and with a provider reasonably acceptable to Lessor. Lessee shall make no alterations or additions to the Equipment, except those that (a) will not void any warranty made by the Supplier of the Equipment, result in the creation of any security interest, lien or encumbrance on the Equipment or impair the value or use of the Equipment either at the time made or at the end of the Term of the applicable Lease, and are readily removable without damage to the Equipment (“Optional Additions”), or (b) are required by any applicable law, regulation or order. All additions to the Equipment or repairs made to the Equipment, except Optional Additions, become a part of the Equipment and Lessor’s property at the time made; Optional Additions which have not been removed in the event of the return of the Equipment shall become Lessor’s property upon such return. 12. EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP; LIENS; LOCATION. As between Lessor and Lessee, Lessor is the sole owner of the Equipment and has

sole title thereto, Lessee shall not make any representation to any third party inconsistent with Lessor’s sole ownership of the Equipment. Lessee covenants with respect to each Lease that: (i) it will not pledge or encumber the Equipment or Lessor’s interest in the Equipment in any manner whatsoever nor create or permit to exist any levy, lien or encumbrance thereof or thereon except those created by or through Lessor; (ii) the Equipment shall remain personal property whether or not affixed to realty and shall not become a fixture or be made to become a part of any real property on which it is placed without Lessor’s prior written consent; and (iii) Lessee shall maintain the Equipment so that it does not become essential to and may be removed from any building in which it is placed without any damage to the building or the Equipment. Lessee may permit use of the Equipment by its affiliates or independent contractors at the Equipment Location provided it does not relinquish possession and control of the Equipment. Provided Lessee remains in possession and control of the Equipment, Lessee may relocate any Equipment from the Equipment Location specified in the applicable Lease Schedule to another of its locations within the State of the Equipment Location upon prior written notice to Lessor specifying the new Equipment Location or to another of its locations within the United States after receiving the written consent of Lessor to such relocation. Lessee shall not locate or relocate any Equipment such that any third party comes into possession or control thereof without Lessor’s prior written consent; provided, however, that Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the location or relocation of Equipment to a third party co-location or hosting facility if such third party shall have executed and delivered to Lessor a waiver agreement in form and substance acceptable to Lessor pursuant to which, among other things, such third party shall have waived any rights to the Equipment and agreed to surrender the Equipment to Lessor in the event of a Lessee Default under this Master Lease Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor agrees that equipment usable outside of a fixed office environment, may be relocated on a non-permanent basis from the Equipment Location originally specified in the applicable Lease Schedule without Equipment; (ii) the primary employee remains in possession and control of the Equipment, and (iii) the primary employee’s principal office is the Equipment Location.

13. RISK OF LOSS AND INSURANCE. Lessee assumes any and all risk of loss or damage to the Equipment from the time such

Equipment is in Lessee’s possession until such Equipment is returned to and is received by Lessor in accordance with the terms and

conditions of this Master Lease Agreement. Lessee agrees to keep the Equipment insured at Lessee’s expense against all risks of loss from any cause whatsoever, including without limitation, loss by fire (including extended coverage), theft and damage. Lessee agrees that such insurance shall name Lessor as a loss payee and cover not less than the replacement value of the Equipment. Lessee also agrees that it shall carry commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than $2,000,000 total liability per occurrence and cause Lessor and its affiliates and its and their successors and assigns, to be named additional insureds under such insurance. Each policy shall provide that the insurance cannot be canceled without at least 30 days' prior written notice to Lessor, and no policy shall contain a deductible in excess of $25,000. Upon Lessor’s prior written consent, in lieu of maintaining insurance obtained by third party insurance carriers, Lessee may self-insure against such risks, provided that Lessor’s interests are protected to the same extent as if the insurance had been obtained by third party insurance carriers and provided further that such self-insurance program is consistent with prudent business practices with respect with such insurance risk. Lessee shall provide to Lessor (a) on or prior to the Acceptance Date for each Lease, and from time to time thereafter, certificates of insurance evidencing such insurance coverage throughout the Total Term of each Lease, and (b) upon Lessor’s request, copies of the insurance policies. If Lessee fails to provide Lessor with such evidence, then Lessor will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance protecting Lessor at Lessee’s expense. Lessee’s expense shall include the ful l premium paid for such insurance and any customary charges, costs or fees of Lessor. Lessee agrees to pay such amounts in substantial ly equal installments allocated to each Rent payment (plus interest on such amounts at the rate of 1% per month or such lesser rate as is the maximum rate allowable under applicable law). 14. CASUALTY LOSS. Lessee shall notify Lessor of any Casualty Loss or repairable damage to any Equipment as soon as reasonably

practicable after the date of any such occurrence but in no event later than 30 days after such occurrence. In the event any Casualty Loss shall occur, on the next Rent payment date Lessee shall (a) at Lessee’s option provided no Lessee Default has occurred nor an event that with the passage of time or provision of notice would constitute a Lessee Default has occurred and is continuing or (b) at Lessor’s option if a Lessee Default has occurred or an event that with the passage of time or provision of notice would constitute a Lessee Default has occurred and is continuing (1) subject to Section 7 hereof, pay Lessor the Stipulated Loss Value of the Equipment suffering the Casualty Loss, or (2) substitute and replace each item of Equipment suffering the Casualty Loss with an item of Substitute Equipment. If Lessee shall pay the Stipulated Loss Value of the Equipment suffering a Casualty Loss, upon Lessor’s receipt in full of such payment the applicable Lease shall terminate as it relates to such Equipment and, except as provided in Section 26, Lessee shall be relieved of all obligations under the applicable Lease as it relates to such Equipment. If Lessee shall replace Equipment suffering a Casualty Loss with items of Substitute Equipment (i) the applicable Lease shall continue in full force and effect without any abatement of Rent with such Substitute Equipment thereafter being deemed to be Equipment leased thereunder, and (ii) Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a bill of sale or other documentation, in either case in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor, in which Lessee shall represent and warrant that it has transferred to Lessor good and marketable title to all Substitute Equipment, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and claims of others. Upon Lessor’s receipt of such payment of Stipulated Loss Value in full, or such bill of sale or other documentation, as the case may be, Lessor shall transfer to Lessee all of Lessor’s interest in the Equipment suffering the Casualty Loss “AS IS, WHERE IS,” without any warranty, express or implied, from Lessor, other than the absence of any liens or claims by or through Lessor. In the event of any repairable damage to any Equipment, the Lease shall continue with respect to such Equipment without any abatement of Rent and Lessee shall, at its expense, from insurance proceeds or other funds legally available, promptly cause such Equipment to be repaired to the condition it is required to be maintained pursuant to Section 11. 15. TAXES. Lessor shall report and pay all applicable Taxes now or hereafter imposed or assessed by any governmental body, agency

or taxing authority upon the purchase, ownership, delivery, installation, leasing, rental, use or sale of the Equipment, the Rent or other charges payable hereunder, or otherwise upon or in connection with any Lease, whether assessed on Lessor or Lessee, other than any such Taxes required by law to be reported and paid by Lessee. Lessee shall promptly reimburse Lessor for all such applicable Taxes paid by Lessor, together with any penalties or interest in connection therewith attributable to Lessee’s acts or failure to act, excluding (a) Taxes on or measured by the overall gross or net income or items of tax preference of Lessor, (b) as to any Lease the related Equipment, Taxes attributable to the period after the return of such Equipment to Lessor, and (c) Taxes imposed as a result of a sale or other transfer by Lessor of any portions of its interest in any Lease or in any Equipment except for a sale of other transfer to Lessee or a sale or other transfer occurring after and during the continuance of any Lessee Default. 16. GENERAL LIABILITY. As between Lessor and Lessee, to the extent permitted by law, Lessee shall bear sole liability for any and all

Claims arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with any matter involving this Master Lease Agreement, the Equipment or any Lease Schedule, including but not limited to the selection, manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, lease, possession, maintenance, use (including any patent, trademark or copyright infringement), condition, return or operation of any Equipment or the enforcement of Lessor’s rights under any Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have no liability for any Claim arising solely as a result of Lessor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 17. COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT. So long as no Lessee Default exists, and no event shall have occurred and be continuing

which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a Lessee Default, neither Lessor nor any party acting or claiming through Lessor, by assignment or otherwise, will disturb Lessee’s quiet enjoyment of the Equipment during the Total Term of the related Lease. 18. DISCLAIMERS AND LESSEE WAIVERS. LESSEE LEASES THE EQUIPMENT FROM LESSOR “AS IS, WHERE IS”. IT IS SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT (A) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 17, LESSOR MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE DESIGN, COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, QUALITY, OPERATION, OR CONDITION OF ANY EQUIPMENT (OR ANY PART THEREOF), THE MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF EQUIPMENT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ISSUES REGARDING PATENT INFRINGEMENT, TITLE AND THE LIKE; (B) LESSOR SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, BE BOUND BY OR LIABLE FOR, ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR PROMISE MADE BY THE SUPPLIER OF ANY EQUIPMENT (EVEN IF LESSOR IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH SUPPLIER); (C) LESSOR

DocuSign Envelope ID: 89386442-81F6-451D-BCAF-EBAEC48ECDCFDocusign Envelope ID: 93961909-B44A-4BA4-8681-4B1A94E79B4A

SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE OF ANY EQUIPMENT OR ANY DELAY IN THE DELIVERY OR INSTALLATION THEREOF; (D) LESSEE HAS SELECTED ALL EQUIPMENT WITHOUT LESSOR’S ASSISTANCE; AND (E) LESSOR IS NOT A MANUFACTURER OF ANY EQUIPMENT. IT IS FURTHER AGREED THAT LESSOR SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO LESSEE, LESSEE’S CUSTOMERS, OR ANY THIRD PARTIES FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT OR ANY LEASE SCHEDULE OR CONCERNING ANY EQUIPMENT, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES BASED ON STRICT OR ABSOLUTE TORT LIABILITY OR LESSOR’S NEGLIGENCE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT SHALL DEPRIVE LESSEE OF ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY PERSON OTHER THAN LESSOR. LESSOR AND LESSEE AGREE THAT THE LEASES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT AND THE APPLICABLE FUNDAMENTAL AGREEMENTS AND NOT BY THE CONFLICTING PROVISIONS OF ANY OTHERWISE APPLICABLE LAW. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LESSEE WAIVES ANY RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CONFERRED UPON A LESSEE BY ARTICLE 2A OF THE UCC (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LESSEE’S RIGHTS, CLAIMS AND DEFENSES UNDER UCC SECTIONS 2A-303 AND 2A-508 THROUGH 2A-522) AND THOSE RIGHTS NOW OR HEREAFTER CONFERRED BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, IN EITHER CASE THAT ARE INCONSISTENT WITH OR THAT WOULD LIMIT OR MODIFY LESSOR’S RIGHTS SET FORTH IN THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT.

19. LESSEE WARRANTIES. Lessee represents, warrants and covenants to Lessor with respect to each Lease that: (a) Lessee is an

agency or department of, institution of higher education, or a political subdivision of the state in which it is located; (b) Lessee has the power and authority to enter into each of the Fundamental Agreements; (c) all Fundamental Agreements are legal, valid and binding obligations of Lessee, enforceable against Lessee in accordance with their terms and do not violate or create a default under any instrument or agreement binding on Lessee; (d) there are no pending or threatened actions or proceedings before any court or administrative agency that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Lessee or any Fundamental Agreement, unless such actions have been disclosed to Lessor and consented to in writing by Lessor; (e) Lessee shall comply in all material respects with all laws and regulations the violation of which could have a material adverse effect upon the Equipment or Lessee’s performance of its obligations under any Fundamental Agreement; (f) each Fundamental Agreement shall be effective against all creditors of Lessee under applicable law, including fraudulent conveyance and bulk transfer laws, and shall raise no presumption of fraud; (g) all financial statements, certificates or summaries relating to Lessee’s financial condition, fiscal budget or the assessment and collection of taxes and other related information furnished by Lessee shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States in effect at that t ime and shall fairly present Lessee’s financial position as of the dates given on such statements; (h) since the date of the most recent annual financial statement, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of, or the level of assessment or collection of taxes by, the Lessee; (i) the Equipment, subject to the Lease, is essential to the immediate performance of a governmental or proprietary function by Lessee within the scope of its authority and will be used during the Term of the Lease only by Lessee and only to perform such function; (j) Lessee intends to use the Equipment for the entire Term of the Lease and all Equipment will be used for business purposes only and not for personal, family or household purposes; (k) Lessee has complied fully with all applicable law governing open meetings, public bidding and appropriations required in connection with the Lease and the acquisition of the Equipment; (l) there has been no material change in the budget for Lessee’s current Fiscal Period since its adoption; (m) Lessee’s obligations to pay Rent and any other amounts due under the Lease constitute a current expense and not a debt of Lessee under applicable state law; (n) no provision of the Lease constitutes a pledge of the tax or general revenues of Lessee; (o) Lessee does not export, re-export, or transfer any Equipment, Software, system software or source code or any direct product thereof to a prohibited destination, or to nationals of proscribed countries wherever located, without prior authorization from the United States government and other applicable governments; (p) Lessee does not use any Equipment, Software or system software or technology, technical data, or technical assistance related thereto or the products thereof in the design, development, or production of nuclear, missile, chemical, or biological weapons or transfer the same to a prohibited destination, or to nationals of proscribed countries wherever located, without prior authorization from the United States and other applicable governments; and (q) Lessee is not an entity designated by the United States government or any other applicable government with which transacting business without the prior consent of such government is prohibited. 20. DEFAULT. Any of the following shall constitute a default by Lessee (a “Lessee Default”) under this Master Lease Agreement and all

Leases: (a) Lessee fails to pay any Rent payment or any other amount payable to Lessor under this Master Lease Agreement or any Lease Schedule within 45 days after its due date; or (b) Lessee defaults on or breaches any of the other terms and conditions of any Material Agreement, and fails to cure such breach within 45 days after written notice thereof from Lessor; or (c) any representation or warranty made by Lessee in any Material Agreement proves to be incorrect in any material respect when made or reaffirmed; or (d) any change occurs in relation to Lessee’s financial condition that, in Lessor’s opinion, would have a material adverse effect on Lessee’s ability to perform its obligations under this Master Lease Agreement or under any Lease Schedule; or (e) Lessee becomes insolvent or fails generally to pay its debts as they become due; or (f) a proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement of debt, insolvency or receivership law is filed by or against Lessee (and if such proceeding is involuntary, it is not dismissed within 60 days after the filing thereof) or Lessee takes any action to authorize any of the foregoing matters; or (g) any letter of credit or guaranty issued in support of a Lease is revoked, breached, canceled or terminated (unless consented to in advance by Lessor); or (h) any Equipment is levied against, seized or attached.

Also, Lessee shall pay Lessor (i) all costs and expenses that Lessor may incur to maintain, safeguard or preserve the Equipment, and other

DocuSign Envelope ID: 89386442-81F6-451D-BCAF-EBAEC48ECDCFDocusign Envelope ID: 93961909-B44A-4BA4-8681-4B1A94E79B4A

expenses incurred by Lessor in enforcing any of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Master Lease Agreement (including reasonable legal fees and collection agency costs) and (ii) all costs incurred by Lessor in exercising any of its remedies hereunder (including reasonable legal fees). Upon repossession or surrender of any Equipment, Lessor will lease, sell or otherwise dispose of the Equipment in a commercially reasonable manner, with or without notice and at public or private sale, and apply the net proceeds thereof to the amounts owed to Lessor under this Master Lease Agreement; provided, however, that Lessee will remain liable to Lessor for any deficiency that remains after any sale or lease of such Equipment. Any proceeds of any sale or lease of such Equipment in excess of the amounts owed to Lessor under this Master Lease Agreement will be retained by Lessor. Lessee agrees that with respect to any notice of a sale required by law to be given, 10 days' notice will constitute reasonable notice. With respect to any exercise by Lessor of its right to recover and/or dispose of any Equipment or other Collateral securing Lessee’s obligations under the applicable Lease Schedule, Lessee acknowledges and agrees as follows: (i) Lessee shall cause Contractor to prepare the Equipment or any other Collateral for disposition, (ii) Lessor may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with any disposition of the Equipment or other Collateral, and any actions taken in connection therewith shall not be deemed to have adversely affected the commercial reasonableness of any such disposition, and (iii) Lessor may convey the Equipment and any other Collateral on an “AS IS, WHERE IS” basis, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, may specifically exclude or disclaim any and all warranties, including any warranty of title or the like with respect to the disposition of the Equipment or other Collateral, and no such conveyance or such exclusion or such disclaimer of any warranty shall be deemed to have adversely affected the commercial reasonableness of any such disposition. These remedies are cumulative of every other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and may be enforced concurrently therewith or from time to time. 22. PERFORMANCE OF LESSEE’S OBLIGATIONS. If Lessee fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Lessor may perform any

act or make any payment that Lessor deems reasonably necessary for the maintenance and preservation of the Equipment and Lessor’s interests therein; provided, however, that the performance of any act or payment by Lessor shall not be deemed a waiver of, or release Lessee from, the obligation at issue. All sums so paid by Lessor, together with expenses (including legal fees and costs) incurred by Lessor in connection therewith, and shall be paid to Lessor by Lessee immediately upon demand. 23. TRUE LEASE; SECURITY INTEREST; MAXIMUM RATE. Each Lease is intended to be a “Finance Lease” as defined in Article 2A

of the UCC, and Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to file a financing statement to give public notice of Lessor’s ownership of the Equipment. The parties’ intent that each Lease be a “Finance Lease” within the meaning of Article 2A and the UCC shall have no effect on the characterization of any Lease for accounting purposes, which characterization shall be made by each party independently on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States in effect at the time. Lessee, by its execution of each Lease Schedule, acknowledges that Lessor has informed it that (a) the identity of Seller is set forth in the applicable Lease Schedule, (b) Lessee is entitled under Article 2A of the UCC to the promises and warranties, including those of any third party, provided to Lessor in connection with, or as a part of, the applicable Purchase Documents, and (c) Lessee may communicate with Seller and receive an accurate and complete statement of the promises and warranties, including any disclaimers and limitations of them or of remedies. If (1) notwithstanding the express intention of Lessor and Lessee to enter into a true lease, any Lease is ever deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a lease intended for security, or (2) Lessor and Lessee enter into a Lease with the intention that it be treated as a lease intended as security by so providing in the applicable Lease Schedule, then to secure payment and performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Master Lease Agreement and all Lease Schedules, Lessee hereby grants Lessor a purchase money security interest in the related Equipment and in all attachments, accessories, additions, substitutions, products, replacements, rentals and proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds) thereto as well as a security interest in any other equipment financed pursuant to this Master Lease Agreement or any other agreement between Lessor and Lessee (collectively, the “Collateral”). In any such event, notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Master Lease Agreement or in any Lease Schedule, neither Lessor nor any Assignee shall be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest any amount in excess of the maximum rate or amount permitted by applicable law. In the event Lessor or any Assignee ever receives, collects or applies as interest any amount in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, such excess amount shall be applied to the unpaid principal balance and any remaining excess shall be refunded to Lessee. In determining whether the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the maximum rate or amount permitted by applicable law, Lessor and Lessee shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, characterize any non-principal payment as an expense or fee rather than as interest, exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and spread the total amount of interest over the entire term of this Master Lease Agreement and all Lease Schedules. 24. ASSIGNMENT. Lessor shall have the unqualified right to sell, assign, grant a security interest in or otherwise convey any part of its

interest in this Master Lease Agreement, any Lease Schedule, or any Equipment, in whole or in part, with prior notice to Lessee. If any Lease is sold, assigned, or otherwise conveyed, Lessee agrees that Lessor’s purchaser, assignee or transferee, as the case may be (“Assignee”) shall (a) have the same rights, powers and privileges that Lessor has under the applicable Lease, (b) have the right to receive from Lessee all amounts due under the applicable Lease; and (c) not be required to perform any obligations of Lessor, other than those that are expressly assumed in writing by such Assignee. Lessee agrees to execute such acknowledgements to such assignment as may be reasonably requested by Lessor or the Assignee. Lessee further agrees that, in any action brought by such Assignee against Lessee to enforce Lessor’s rights hereunder, Lessee will not assert against such Assignee any set-off, defense or counterclaim that Lessee may have against Lessor or any other person. Unless otherwise specified by Lessor and the Assignee, Lessee shall continue to pay all amounts due under the applicable Lease Schedule to Lessor; provided, however, that upon notification from Lessor and the Assignee, Lessee covenants to pay all amounts due under the applicable Lease Schedule to such Assignee when due and as directed in such notice. Lessee further agrees that any Assignee may further sell, assign, grant a security interest in or otherwise convey its rights and interests under the applicable Lease Schedule with the same force and effect as the assignment described herein. Lessee may not assign, transfer, sell, sublease, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Master Lease Agreement, any Lease Schedule, any Equipment or any interest therein without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as any such proposed assignee is of equal or better creditworthiness than Lessee, and appropriate documentation has been signed and provided to Lessor, all as Lessor shall determine. Lessor shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Master Lease Agreement, or any Lease Schedule not otherwise assigned to Assignee pursuant to this Section 24 unless Lessee otherwise agrees in writing.

25. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Lessee agrees to promptly execute and deliver to Lessor such further documents and take such further

action as Lessor may require in order to more effectively carry out the intent and purpose of this Master Lease Agreement and any Lease Schedule. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessee agrees (a) to furnish to Lessor from time to time, its certified financial statements, officer’s certificates and appropriate resolutions, opinions of counsel and such other information and documents as Lessor may reasonably request, and (b) to execute and timely deliver to Lessor such documents that Lessor deems necessary to perfect or protect Lessor’s security interest in the Collateral or to evidence Lessor’s interest in the Equipment. It is also agreed that Lessor or Lessor’s agent may file as a financing statement, any lease document (or copy thereof, where permitted by law) or other financing statement that Lessor deems appropriate to perfect or protect Lessor’s security interest in the Collateral or to evidence Lessor’s interest in the Equipment. Upon demand, Lessee will promptly reimburse Lessor for any filing or recordation fees or expenses (including legal fees and costs) incurred by Lessor in perfecting or protecting its interests in any Collateral. Lessee represents and warrants that Lessee’s name as set forth in the signature block below is Lessee’s full and accurate legal name and that the information set forth on the first page hereof regarding its organization number, tax identification number and location is true and correct as of the date hereof. Lessee further agrees to provide Lessor advance written notice of any change in the foregoing. 26. TERM OF MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT; SURVIVAL. This Master Lease Agreement shall commence and be effective upon the

execution hereof by both parties and shall continue in effect until terminated by either party by 30 days prior written notice to the other, provided that the effective date of the termination is after all obligations of Lessee arising hereunder and pursuant to any Lease Schedule have been fully satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all representations, warranties and covenants made by Lessee hereunder shall survive the termination of this Master Lease Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect. All of Lessor’s rights and privileges under this Master Lease Agreement or any Lease Schedule, to the extent they are fairly attributable to events or conditions occurring or existing on or prior to the expiration or termination of such Lease, shall survive such expiration or termination and be enforceable by Lessor and Lessor’s successors and assigns. 27. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. LESSEE AND LESSOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO DEMAND A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY LESSOR OR LESSEE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT OR ANY FUNDAMENTAL AGREEMENT. 28.

This State and Local Government Master Lease Purchase Agreement (together with Exhibits A and B attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof, (this “Master Agreement”), dated as of ____________, is entered into by and between Hewlett-Packard Financial Services Company,4 a Delaware corporation (“Lessor”), and ____________________, an agency, department, institution of higher education, or political subdivision of the State of _____ (“Lessee”). Capitalized terms used in this Master Lease Agreement without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 32. 1. PURPOSE OF MASTER AGREEMENT. The purpose of this Master Lease Agreement is to set forth the general terms and conditions

upon which Lessor shall lease to Lessee, and Lessee shall lease from Lessor, items of Hardware, Software or both (the “Equipment”). In connection with its execution of this Master Lease Agreement, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor an Officer’s Certificate in form and substance acceptable to Lessor, executed by a duly authorized officer of Lessee and certifying as to, among other things, Lessee’s authority to enter into this Master Lease Agreement, and the authority of Lessee’s officers or representatives specified therein to execute this Master Lease Agreement and an opinion of Lessee’s counsel in form and content satisfactory to Lessor. 2. COMMENCEMENT PROCEDURES. Subject to the other terms and conditions contained in this Master Lease Agreement and the

applicable Lease Schedule, Lessee shall enter into individual Leases (hereinafter defined) with Lessor as follows: (a) Execution of Lease Schedule. Lessor and Lessee mutually agree to enter into a Lease by executing a Lease Schedule in the form

of Exhibit A with such changes as Lessor and Lessee shall have agreed to as conclusively evidenced by their execution thereof. Each such Lease Schedule shall specifically identify (by serial number or other identifying characteristics) the items of Equipment to be leased under such Lease Schedule. Each Lease Schedule, when executed by both Lessee and Lessor, together with this Master Lease Agreement, shall constitute a separate and distinct lease (“Lease”), enforceable according to its terms.

(b) Acceptance; Term of Leases. Lessee shall accept the Equipment subject to a Lease in accordance with Section 3. The Term of each Lease shall begin on the Acceptance Date of the Equipment subject to such Lease and shall continue for the period described in the applicable Lease Schedule unless a Non-appropriation shall have occurred.

(c) Adjustments to Lease Schedule. Lessee acknowledges that the Total Cost of Equipment and the related Rent payments set forth in any Lease Schedule may be estimates, and if the final invoice from the Seller attached to the related Acceptance Certificate(s) specifies a Total Cost that is less than the estimated Total Cost set forth in the Schedule, Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to reduce the applicable Total Cost and Rent payment on the Lease Schedule by up to ten percent (10%) to reflect such final invoice amount (the “Final Invoice Amount”). All references in this Master Lease Agreement and any Lease Schedule to Total Cost and Rent shall mean the amounts thereof specified in the applicable Lease Schedule, as adjusted pursuant to this paragraph.

(d) Payment by Lessor. Within 30 days after Lessee’s delivery to Lessor of a properly completed and executed Acceptance Certificate and all other documentation necessary to establish Lessee’s acceptance of such Equipment under the related Lease and Lessor’s acceptance of such Acceptance Certificate, Lessor shall pay the Contractor for the Equipment. Lessor shall not accept the Acceptance Certificate until it has received from Lessee (1) evidence of insurance with respect to the Equipment in compliance with Section 14 hereof, (2) a completed and executed original Form 8038-G or 8038-GC, as applicable, or evidence of filing thereof with the Internal Revenue Service in the manner required by Code Section 149(e), (3) an opinion of Lessee’s counsel, if required by Lessor, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and (4) any other documents or items reasonably required by Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall not be obligated to pay for the Equipment if a Lessee Default has occurred or an event has occurred and is continuing that with the passage of time or provision of notice would constitute a Lessee Default. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that the date the Lessor pays the Contractor for the Equipment shall be the issue date of the obligation for federal income tax purposes in accordance with the Code and no Rent shall accrue prior to such date. 3. ACCEPTANCE OF EQUIPMENT. (a) Inspection of Equipment. Lessee agrees to inspect all Equipment as soon as reasonably

practicable after the delivery thereof to Lessee. (b) Acceptance Certificate. Upon the satisfactory inspection of the Equipment by Lessee, or if acceptance requirements for such

Equipment are specified in the applicable Purchase Documents, as soon as such requirements are met, Lessee shall unconditionally and irrevocably accept the Equipment by executing and delivering to Lessor a properly completed Acceptance Certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit B. 4. RENT; LATE CHARGES. As lease payments (“Rent”) for the Equipment under any Lease Schedule, Lessee agrees to pay the

amounts specified in the applicable Lease Schedule on the due dates specified in the applicable Lease Schedule. Lessee agrees to pay Lessor interest on any Rent payment or other amount due hereunder that is not paid within 15 days of its due date, at the rate of 1% per month (or such lesser rate as is the maximum rate allowable under applicable law).

5. TRANSFER OF EQUIPMENT ON EXPIRATION OF LEASE TERM. If Lessee has paid all Rent and all other amounts due under the

Lease and has satisfied all other terms and conditions of the Lease, the Lease shall terminate and, except as provided in Section 28, Lessee shall be relieved of all of its obligations in favor of Lessor with respect to the Equipment and Lessor shall transfer all of its interest in such Equipment to Lessee “AS IS, WHERE IS,” without any warranty, express or implied, from Lessor, other than the absence of any l iens or claims by or through Lessor. 6. LEASES NON-CANCELABLE; NET LEASES; WAIVER OF DEFENSES TO PAYMENT. IT IS SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT EACH LEASE HEREUNDER SHALL BE NON-CANCELABLE (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 7 HEREOF), AND THAT EACH LEASE HEREUNDER IS A NET LEASE SO THAT AMONG OTHER THINGS LESSEE SHALL PAY IN ADDITION TO THE RENT, TAXES, INSURANCE AND MAINTENANCE CHARGES RELATED TO THE EQUIPMENT. LESSEE AGREES THAT IT HAS AN ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL OBLIGATION TO PAY ALL RENT AND OTHER AMOUNTS WHEN DUE. LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ANY RECOUPMENT, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER DEFENSE AT LAW OR IN EQUITY TO ANY RENT OR OTHER AMOUNT DUE WITH RESPECT TO ANY LEASE, WHETHER ANY SUCH DEFENSE ARISES OUT OF THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT, ANY LEASE SCHEDULE, ANY CLAIM BY LESSEE AGAINST LESSOR, LESSOR’S ASSIGNEES OR SUPPLIER OR OTHERWISE. IF THE EQUIPMENT IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, DOES NOT OPERATE OR INTEGRATE AS REPRESENTED OR WARRANTED BY SUPPLIER OR IS UNSATISFACTORY FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, LESSEE WILL MAKE ANY CLAIM ON ACCOUNT OF THOSE ISSUES SOLELY AGAINST SUPPLIER AND WILL NEVERTHELESS PAY ALL SUMS DUE WITH RESPECT TO EACH LEASE. 7. NONAPPROPRIATION. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Master Lease Agreement to the contrary, in the event that sufficient

funds are not appropriated and budgeted by Lessee’s governing body or are not otherwise available from other legally available sources in any fiscal period for the payment of Rent and other amounts due under any Lease, the Lease shall terminate on the last day of the fiscal period for which appropriations were received or other amounts are available to pay amounts due under the Lease without penalty or expense to Lessee of any kind whatsoever, except as to the portions of Rent payments or other amounts herein agreed upon for which funds shall have been appropriated or are otherwise available. Lessee will immediately notify the Lessor or its assignee of such occurrence. In the event of such termination, Lessee shall immediately cease all use of the Equipment, and shall immediately de-install, disassemble, pack, crate, and return the Equipment subject to such Lease to Lessor (all in accordance with Section 10 of this Master Lease Agreement). Such Equipment shall be in the same condition as when received by Lessee (reasonable wear, tear and depreciation resulting from normal and proper use excepted), shall be in good operating order and maintenance as required by this Lease, shall be free and clear of any liens (except Lessor’s lien) and shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Lessee agrees to execute and deliver to Lessor all documents reasonably requested by Lessor or evidence the transfer of legal and beneficial title to such Equipment to Lessor and to evidence the termination of Lessee’s interest in such Equipment. Lessor will have all legal and equitable rights and remedies to take possession of the Equipment. At Lessor’s request, Lessee shall promptly provide supplemental documentation as to such Non-Appropriation satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee’s exercise of its rights pursuant to this Section 7 shall not affect the survival of any other provisions, including but not limited to Section 16, (other than the obligation to lease the Equipment and pay amounts due under the Lease) which survive the termination of the Lease. 8. ASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASE DOCUMENTS. Lessee assigns to Lessor all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to (a) the

Equipment described in each Lease Schedule, and (b) the Purchase Documents relating to such Equipment. Such assignment of the Purchase Documents is an assignment of rights only; nothing in this Master Lease Agreement shall be deemed to have relieved Lessee of any obligation or liability under any of the Purchase Documents, except that, as between Lessee and Lessor, Lessor shall pay the Contractor for the Equipment in accordance with Section 2(d) hereof. Lessee represents and warrants that it has reviewed and approved the Purchase Documents. In addition, if Lessor shall so request, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a document acceptable to Lessor whereby Seller acknowledges and provides any required consent to such assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, Lessee covenants and agrees that it shall at all times during the Term of each Lease comply in all respects with the terms of any License Agreement relating to any Equipment leased thereunder. IT IS ALSO SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT NEITHER SUPPLIER NOR ANY SALESPERSON OF SUPPLIER IS AN AGENT OF LESSOR, NOR ARE THEY AUTHORIZED TO WAIVE OR ALTER ANY TERMS OF THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT OR ANY LEASE SCHEDULE. 9. ASSIGNMENT OF SUPPLIER WARRANTIES. To the extent permitted, Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee all Equipment warranties

provided by any Supplier in the applicable Purchase Documents. Lessee shall have the right to take any action it deems appropriate to enforce such warranties provided such enforcement is pursued in Lessee’s name and at its expense. In the event Lessee is precluded from enforcing any such warranty in its name and to the extent Lessor retains title to the Equipment, Lessor shall, upon Lessee’s request, take reasonable steps to enforce such warranty. In such circumstances, Lessee shall, promptly upon demand, reimburse Lessor for all expenses incurred by Lessor in enforcing the Supplier warranty. Any recovery resulting from any such enforcement efforts shall be divided between Lessor and Lessee as their interests may appear. 10. RESERVED. 11. EQUIPMENT USE, MAINTENANCE AND ADDITIONS.

vest in Lessee; provided, however, that (i) in the event of termination of this Lease by Lessee pursuant to Section 7 hereof, or (ii) upon the occurrence of a Lessee Default as defined in Section 22 hereof, and as long as such Lessee Default is continuing, title to the Equipment (including Substitute Equipment) will immediately vest in Lessor or its assignee.

Lessee shall not locate or relocate any Equipment such that any third party comes into possession or control thereof without Lessor’s prior written consent; provided, however, that Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the location or relocation of Equipment to a third party co-location or hosting facility if such third party shall have executed and delivered to Lessor a waiver agreement in form and substance acceptable to Lessor pursuant to which, among other things, such third party shall have waived any rights to the Equipment and agreed to surrender the Equipment to Lessor in the event of a Lessee Default under this Master Lease Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor agrees that equipment usable outside of a fixed office environment, may be relocated on a non-permanent basis from the Equipment Location originally specified in the applicable Lease Schedule without Lessor’s prior written consent, provided that (i) such relocation is made by Lessee’s primary employee in the custody and control of such Equipment; (ii) the primary employee remains in possession and control of the Equipment, and (iii) the primary employee’s principal office is the Equipment Location. 13. SECURITY INTEREST; MAXIMUM RATE. In order to secure all of its obligations hereunder, Lessee hereby, to the extent permitted

by law and to secure payment and performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Master Lease Agreement and all Lease Schedules, grants Lessor a purchase money security interest in the related Equipment and in all attachments, accessories, additions, substitutions, products, replacements, rentals and proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds) thereto as well as a security interest in any other Equipment financed pursuant to this Master Lease Agreement. or any other agreement between Lessor and Lessee (collectively, the “Collateral”). In any such event, notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Master Lease Agreement or in any Lease Schedule, neither Lessor nor any Assignee shall be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest any amount in excess of the maximum rate or amount permitted by applicable law. In the event Lessor or any Assignee ever receives, collects or applies as interest any amount in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, such excess amount shall be applied to the unpaid principal balance and any remaining excess shall be refunded to Lessee. In determining whether the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the maximum rate or amount permitted by applicable law, Lessor and Lessee shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, characterize any non-principal payment as an expense or fee rather than as interest, exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and spread the total amount of interest over the entire term of this Master Lease Agreement and all Lease Schedules. Lessee agrees that Lessor may file this Lease as a financing statement evidencing such security interest or any other financing statement deemed necessary by Lessor and agrees to execute and deliver all certificates of title and other instruments necessary or appropriate to evidence such security interest. 14. RISK OF LOSS AND INSURANCE. Lessee assumes any and all risk of loss or damage to the Equipment from the time such

Equipment is in Lessee’s possession until such Equipment is returned to and is received by Lessor in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Master Lease Agreement. Lessee agrees to keep the Equipment insured at Lessee’s expense against all risks of loss from any cause whatsoever, including without limitation, loss by fire (including extended coverage), theft and damage. Lessee agrees that such insurance shall name Lessor as a loss payee and cover not less than the replacement value of the Equipment. Lessee also agrees that it shall carry commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than $2,000,000 total liability per occurrence and cause Lessor and its affiliates and its and their successors and assigns, to be named additional insureds under such insurance. Each policy shall provide that the insurance cannot be canceled without at least 30 days' prior written notice to Lessor, and no policy shall contain a deductible in excess of $25,000. Upon Lessor’s prior written consent, in lieu of maintaining insurance obtained by third party insurance carriers, Lessee may self-insure against such risks, provided that Lessor’s interests are protected to the same extent as if the insurance had been obtained by third party insurance carriers and provided further that such self-insurance program is consistent with prudent business practices with respect with such insurance risk. Lessee shall provide to Lessor (a) on or prior to the Acceptance Date for each Lease, and from time to time thereafter, certificates of insurance evidencing such insurance coverage throughout the Term of each Lease, and (b) upon Lessor’s request, copies of the insurance policies. If Lessee fails to provide Lessor with such evidence, then Lessor will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance protecting Lessor at Lessee’s expense. Lessee’s expense shall include the full premium paid for such insurance and any customary charges, costs or fees of Lessor. Lessee agrees to pay such amounts in substantially equal installments allocated to each Rent payment (plus interest on such amounts at the rate of 1% per month or such lesser rate as is the maximum rate allowable under applicable law). 15. CASUALTY LOSS. Lessee shall notify Lessor of any Casualty Loss or repairable damage to any Equipment as soon as reasonably

practicable after the date of any such occurrence but in no event later than 30 days after such occurrence. In the event any Casualty Loss shall occur, on the next Rent payment date Lessee shall (a) at Lessee’s option provided no Lessee Default has occurred nor an event that with the passage of time or provision of notice would constitute a Lessee Default has occurred and is continuing or (b) at Lessor’s option if a Lessee Default has occurred or an event that with the passage of time or provision of notice would constitute a Lessee Default has

occurred and is continuing, (1) subject to Section 7 hereof, pay Lessor the Stipulated Loss Value of the Equipment suffering the Casualty Loss, or (2) substitute and replace each item of Equipment suffering the Casualty Loss with an item of Substitute Equipment. If Lessee shall pay the Stipulated Loss Value of the Equipment suffering a Casualty Loss, upon Lessor’s receipt in full of such payment the applicable Lease shall terminate as it relates to such Equipment and, except as provided in Section 28, Lessee shall be relieved of all obligations under the applicable Lease as it relates to such Equipment. If Lessee shall replace Equipment suffering a Casualty Loss with items of Substitute Equipment the applicable Lease shall continue in full force and effect without any abatement of Rent with such Substitute Equipment thereafter being deemed to be Equipment leased thereunder. Upon Lessor’s receipt of such payment of Stipulated Loss Value in full or replacement of the Equipment suffering the Casualty Loss with Substitute Equipment, Lessor shall transfer to Lessee all of Lessor’s interest in the Equipment suffering the Casualty Loss “AS IS, WHERE IS,” without any warranty, express or implied, from Lessor, other than the absence of any liens or claims by or through Lessor. In the event of any repairable damage to any Equipment, the Lease shall continue with respect to such Equipment without any abatement of Rent and Lessee shall, at its expense, from insurance proceeds or other funds legally available, promptly cause such Equipment to be repaired to the condition it is required to be maintained pursuant to Section 11. 16. TAXES. Lessor shall report and pay all applicable Taxes now or hereafter imposed or assessed by any governmental body, agency

or taxing authority upon the purchase, ownership, delivery, installation, leasing, rental, use or sale of the Equipment, the Rent or other charges payable hereunder, or otherwise upon or in connection with any Lease, whether assessed on Lessor or Lessee, other than any such Taxes required by law to be reported and paid by Lessee. Lessee shall promptly reimburse Lessor for all such applicable Taxes paid by Lessor, together with any penalties or interest in connection therewith attributable to Lessee’s acts or failure to act, excluding (a) Taxes on or measured by the overall gross or net income or items of tax preference of Lessor, (b) as to any Lease the related Equipment, Taxes attributable to the period after the return of such Equipment to Lessor, and (c) Taxes imposed as a result of a sale or other transfer by Lessor of any portions of its interest in any Lease or in any Equipment except for a sale of other transfer to Lessee or a sale or other transfer occurring after and during the continuance of any Lessee Default. 17. GENERAL LIABILITY. As between Lessor and Lessee, to the extent permitted by law, Lessee shall bear sole liability for any and all

Claims arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with any matter involving this Master Lease Agreement, the Equipment or any Lease Schedule, including but not limited to the selection, manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, lease, possession, maintenance, use (including any patent, trademark or copyright infringement), condition, return or operation of any Equipment or the enforcement of Lessor’s rights under any Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have no liability for any Claim arising solely as a result of Lessor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 18. TAX REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS AND TAX PAYMENTS. (a) Lessee represents, covenants and warrants that: (i)

Lessee is a political subdivision, institution of higher education, or agency or department of the State in which it is located; (ii) a portion of the Rent is interest based on the total Equipment cost as shown on a Lease Schedule and such interest portion of the Rent shall be excluded from Lessor’s gross income pursuant to Section 103 of the Code; (iii) Lessee will comply with the information reporting requirements of Section 149(e) of the Code, and such compliance shall include but not be limited to the execution of information statements requested by Lessor; (iv) Lessee will not do or cause to be done any act which will cause, or by omission of any act allow, the Lease to be an arbitrage bond within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code; (v) Lessee will not do or cause to be done any act which will cause, or by omission of any act allow, this Lease to be a private activity bond within the meaning of Section 141(a) of the Code; (vi) Lessee will not do or cause to be done any act which will cause, or by omission of any act allow, the interest portion of the Rent payments to be or become includable in gross income for federal income taxation purposes under the Code; (vii) Lessee will be the only entity to own, use and operate the Equipment during the Lease Term; (viii) Lessee has never failed to appropriate funds for payment of any amount due pursuant to a lease purchase agreement, a conditional sales agreement or any similar type of obligation; and (ix) Lessee is not and has never been in default under any bond, note, lease purchase agreement or other type of financial obligation to which it has been a party. (b) This Master Lease Agreement has been entered into on the basis that Lessor or any Assignee of Lessor shall claim that the interest paid hereunder is exempt from federal income tax under Section 103(a) of the Code. Upon a breach by Lessee of any of its representations, warranties and covenants in Section 18(a) above and as a result thereof, the United States Government disallows, eliminates, reduces, recaptures, or disqualifies, in whole or in part, any benefits of such exemption, Lessee shall then pay to Lessor, at Lessor's election, either: (i) supplemental payment(s) to Lessor during the remaining period of the Term(s) in an amount necessary to permit Lessor to receive (on an after tax basis over the full term of the Master Lease Agreement) the same rate of return that Lessor would have realized had there not been a loss or disallowance of such benefits, together with the amount of any interest or penalty which may be assessed by the governmental authority with respect to such loss or disallowance; or (ii) a lump sum payable upon demand to Lessor which shall be equal to the amount necessary to permit Lessor to receive (on an after tax basis over the full term of the Master Lease Agreement) the same rate of return that Lessor would have realized had there not been a loss or disallowance of such benefits together with the amount of any interest or penalty which may be assessed by the governmental authority with respect to such loss or disallowance. 19. COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT. So long as no Lessee Default exists, and no event shall have occurred and be continuing

which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a Lessee Default, neither Lessor nor any party acting or claiming through Lessor, by assignment or otherwise, will disturb Lessee’s quiet enjoyment of the Equipment during the Term of the related Lease. 20. DISCLAIMERS AND LESSEE WAIVERS. LESSEE LEASES THE EQUIPMENT FROM LESSOR “AS IS, WHERE IS.” IT IS SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT (A) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 19, LESSOR MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE DESIGN, COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, QUALITY, OPERATION, OR CONDITION OF ANY EQUIPMENT (OR ANY PART THEREOF), THE MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF EQUIPMENT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ISSUES REGARDING PATENT INFRINGEMENT, TITLE AND THE LIKE; (B) LESSOR SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, BE BOUND BY OR LIABLE FOR, ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR PROMISE MADE BY THE SUPPLIER OF ANY EQUIPMENT (EVEN IF LESSOR IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH SUPPLIER); (C)

LESSOR AND LESSEE AGREE THAT THE LEASES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT AND THE APPLICABLE FUNDAMENTAL AGREEMENTS AND NOT BY THE CONFLICTING PROVISIONS OF ANY OTHERWISE APPLICABLE LAW. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LESSEE WAIVES ANY RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CONFERRED UPON A LESSEE BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, IN EITHER CASE THAT ARE INCONSISTENT WITH OR THAT WOULD LIMIT OR MODIFY LESSOR’S RIGHTS SET FORTH IN THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT. 21. LESSEE WARRANTIES. Lessee represents, warrants and covenants to Lessor with respect to each Lease that: (a) Lessee has the

DEFAULT. Any of the following shall constitute a default by Lessee (a “Lessee Default”) under this Master Lease Agreement and all

Leases: (a) Lessee fails to pay any Rent payment or any other amount payable to Lessor under this Master Lease Agreement or any Lease Schedule within 45 days after its due date; or (b) Lessee defaults on or breaches any of the other terms and conditions of any Material Agreement, and fails to cure such breach within 45 days after written notice thereof from Lessor; or (c) any representation or warranty made by Lessee in any Material Agreement proves to be incorrect in any material respect when made or reaffirmed; or (d) any change occurs in relation to Lessee’s financial condition that, in Lessor’s opinion, would have a material adverse effect on Lessee’s ability to perform its obligations under this Master Lease Agreement or under any Lease Schedule or (e) Lessee becomes insolvent or fails generally to pay its debts as they become due; or (f) a proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement of debt, insolvency or receivership law is filed by or against Lessee (and, if such is proceeding is involuntary, it is not dismissed within 60 days after the thereof) or Lessee takes any action to authorize any of the foregoing matters; (g) any Equipment is levied against, seized or attached; or (h) any letter of credit or guaranty issued in support of a Lease is revoked, breached, canceled or terminated (unless consented to in advance by Lessor). 24.

of the Equipment in a commercially reasonable manner, with or without notice and at public or private sale, and apply the net proceeds thereof to the amounts owed to Lessor under this Master Lease Agreement; provided, however, that Lessee will remain liable to Lessor for any deficiency that remains after any sale or lease of such Equipment. Any proceeds of any sale or lease of such Equipment in excess of the amounts owed to Lessor under this Master Lease Agreement will be retained by Lessor. Lessee agrees that with respect to any notice of a sale required by law to be given, 10 days' notice will constitute reasonable notice. With respect to any exercise by Lessor of its right to recover and/or dispose of any Equipment or other Collateral securing Lessee’s obligations under the applicable Lease Schedule, Lessee acknowledges and agrees as follows: (i) Lessor shall cause Contractor to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Equipment or any other Collateral for disposition, (ii) Lessor may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with any disposition of the Equipment or other Collateral, and any actions taken in connection therewith shall not be deemed to have adversely affected the commercial reasonableness of any such disposition, and (iii) Lessor may convey the Equipment and any other Collateral on an “AS IS, WHERE IS” basis, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, may specifically exclude or disclaim any and all warranties, including any warranty of title or the like with respect to the disposition of the Equipment or other Collateral, and no such conveyance or such exclusion or such disclaimer of any warranty shall be deemed to have adversely affected the commercial reasonableness of any such disposition. These remedies are cumulative of every other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and may be enforced concurrently therewith or from time to time. 24. PERFORMANCE OF LESSEE’S OBLIGATIONS. If Lessee fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Lessor may perform any

act or make any payment that Lessor deems reasonably necessary for the maintenance and preservation of the Equipment and Lessor’s interests therein; provided, however, that the performance of any act or payment by Lessor shall not be deemed a waiver of, or release Lessee from, the obligation at issue. All sums so paid by Lessor, together with expenses (including legal fees and costs) incurred by Lessor in connection therewith, shall be paid to Lessor by Lessee immediately upon demand. 25. PURCHASE OPTIONS. Lessee may elect, by delivering to Lessor at least 30 days' prior written notice, to purchase on any Rent

payment date not less than all Units of Equipment then subject to the Lease (other than items of Software that may not be sold by Lessor under the terms of any applicable License Agreement) for an amount equal to the sum of the Rent then due, all other amounts due under the Lease and the Concluding Payment for such Equipment as of the designated Rent payment date; provided no Lessee Default shall have occurred and be continuing or no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time could constitute a Lessee Default. In the event of such an election, Lessee shall pay such amount to Lessor, in immediately available funds, on or before the designated Rent payment date. If Lessee shall have elected to purchase the Equipment, shall have so paid the purchase price and shall have fulfilled the terms and conditions of this Master Lease Agreement and the related Lease Schedule, then (1) the Lease with respect to such Equipment shall terminate on the designated Rent payment date and, except as provided in Section 28, Lessee shall be relieved of all of its obligations in favor of Lessor with respect to such Equipment, and (2) Lessor shall transfer all of its interest in such Equipment to Lessee “AS IS, WHERE IS,” without any warranty, express or implied, from Lessor, other than the absence of any liens or claims by or through Lessor. 26. ASSIGNMENT. Lessor shall have the unqualified right to sell, assign, grant a security interest in or otherwise convey any part of its

interest in this Master Lease Agreement, any Lease Schedule or any Equipment, in whole or in part, with prior notice to Lessee. If any Lease is sold, assigned, or otherwise conveyed, Lessee agrees that Lessor’s purchaser, assignee or transferee, as the case may be (“Assignee”) shall (a) have the same rights, powers and privileges that Lessor has under the applicable Lease Schedule, (b) have the right to receive from Lessee all amounts due under the applicable Lease Schedule; and (c) not be required to perform any obligations of Lessor, other than those that are expressly assumed in writing by such Assignee. Lessee agrees to execute such acknowledgements to such assignment as may be reasonably requested by Lessor or the Assignee. Lessee further agrees that, in any action brought by such Assignee against Lessee to enforce Lessor’s rights hereunder, Lessee will not assert against such Assignee any set-off, defense or counterclaim that Lessee may have against Lessor or any other person. Unless otherwise specified by Lessor and the Assignee, Lessee shall continue to pay all amounts due under the applicable Lease Schedule to Lessor; provided, however, that upon notification from Lessor and the Assignee, Lessee covenants to pay all amounts due under the applicable Lease Schedule to such Assignee when due and as directed in such notice. Lessee further agrees that any Assignee may further sell, assign, grant a security interest in or otherwise convey its rights and interests under the applicable Lease Schedule with the same force and effect as the assignment described herein. Lessee may not assign, transfer, sell, sublease, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Master Lease Agreement, any Lease Schedule, any Equipment or any interest therein. Lessee shall acknowledge each such assignment in writing if so requested and keep a complete and accurate record of all such assignments in a manner that complies with Section 149 of the Code, and regulations promulgated thereunder without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as any such proposed assignee is of equal or better creditworthiness than Lessee, and appropriate documentation has been signed and provided to Lessor, all as Lessor shall determine. Lessor shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Master Lease Agreement, or any Lease Schedule not otherwise assigned to Assignee pursuant to this Section 26 unless Lessee otherwise agrees in writing. 27. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Lessee agrees to promptly execute and deliver to Lessor such further documents and take such

further action as Lessor may require in order to more effectively carry out the intent and purpose of this Master Lease Agreement and any Lease Schedule. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessee agrees (a) to furnish to Lessor from time to time, its certified financial statements, officer’s certificates and appropriate resolutions, opinions of counsel and such other information and documents as Lessor may reasonably request, and (b) to execute and timely deliver to Lessor such documents that Lessor deems necessary to perfect or protect Lessor’s security interest in the Collateral or to evidence Lessor’s interest in the Equipment. It is also agreed that Lessor or Lessor’s agent may file as a financing statement, any lease document (or copy thereof, where permitted by law) or other financing statement that Lessor deems appropriate to perfect or protect Lessor’s security interest in the Collateral or to evidence Lessor’s interest in the Equipment. Upon demand, Lessee will promptly reimburse Lessor for any filing or recordation fees or expenses (including legal fees and costs) incurred by Lessor in perfecting or protecting its interests in any Collateral. Lessee represents and warrants that Lessee’s name as set forth in the signature block below is Lessee’s full and accurate legal name and that the information set forth on the first page hereof regarding its organization number, tax identification number and location is true and correct as of the date hereof. Lessee further agrees to provide Lessor advance written notice of any change in the foregoing.
