PORTFOLIO PURCHASE AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT is entered
into and effective as of March 20, 1996 by and between STORAGE
TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION ('StorageTek'), and LEASETEC CORPORATION
('Leasetec'). It is intended that this Agreement will be adopted by the
respective subsidiaries of StorageTek and Leasetec with respect to the
Designated Territories with such modifications as may be agreed by the
respective subsidiaries.
RECITALS
A. Leasetec Corporation, as parent, and Storage Technology Corporation, as
parent, have entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, under which
Leasetec Corporation will purchase all of the issued and outstanding
shares of StorageTek Financial Services Corporation ('SFSC'), which is
the subsidiary of Storage Technology Corporation which currently does
all of the leasing activity with third parties for equipment
manufactured or sold by Storage Technology Corporation in the United
States. Completion of the transaction contemplated by the Stock
Purchase Agreement will transfer to Leasetec Corporation all of Storage
Technology Corporation's U.S. leasing activity.
B. Leasetec Corporation and Storage Technology Corporation also desire
that their subsidiaries agree to transfer to Leasetec Corporation all
of Storage Technology Corporation's subsidiaries' leasing activity for
the countries in the Designated Territories, including the current
leases and/or lease receivables for StorageTek's equipment and title to
such equipment. Because leasing activity in the Designated Territories
is conducted by Storage Technology Corporation's operating subsidiary
in each country, the assets associated with such activity must be
transferred in each country by the subsidiary in that country.
C. This Agreement constitutes the basic agreement under which the
lease assets will be transferred in each country, by Storage Technology
Corporation's subsidiary to Leasetec Corporation's subsidiary. No
assets or liabilities of Storage Technology Corporation are being
transferred hereunder. It is intended that this Agreement will be
adopted by the subsidiaries in each of the Designated Territories with
appropriate modifications as agreed by such subsidiaries.
TERMS OF AGREEMENT
1. PURCHASE AND SALE
1.1. Purchased Assets. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
this Agreement, on the Closing Date, StorageTek shall sell,
transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Leasetec, and Leasetec
shall purchase from StorageTek, all right, title and interest of
StorageTek in, to and under:
(A) subject to Section 1.3, all of StorageTek's Leases identified
in the individual Country Portfolio Appendices;
(B) all files relating to such Leases;
(C) the Equipment sold hereunder or leased pursuant to the Leases
and identified in the individual Country Portfolio
Appendices, together with a license to the internal code in
such Equipment;
(D) all Proceeds derived or produced from or generated with
respect to such Equipment and Leases (including without
limitation sale proceeds, Rental Payments, insurance
proceeds, Financed Software fees and Financed Service Fees,
but not including other maintenance or software fees) from
and after the Effective Date; and
(E) the Assumed Debt Documents related to the Assumed Debt as of
the Effective Date for which StorageTek has obtained from the
applicable lenders, and delivered to Leasetec, consents as
contemplated by Section 3.4(f).
The assets referred to in this Section are collectively referred to as
the 'Purchased Assets.' Notwithstanding the transfer of such Purchased
Assets to Leasetec, Leasetec agrees that it shall do nothing to prevent
StorageTek from performing its obligations with respect to such Purchased
Assets.
1.2. Assumed Liabilities. On the Closing Date, Leasetec shall deliver
to StorageTek the assumption agreements pursuant to which Leasetec
shall assume and agree to pay, perform or otherwise discharge, in
accordance with their respective terms and subject to the
respective conditions thereof, all the liabilities and obligations
of StorageTek to be paid or performed after the Effective Date
under the Assumed Debt Documents for Assumed Debt identified in
Schedule C to each Country Portfolio Appendix.
1.3. Non-Assignable Leases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
appearing elsewhere herein, StorageTek does not assign or transfer
(i) any Lease which is not assignable by the lessor; or (ii) any
Lease requiring consent of the Obligor for assignment by the
lessor, unless in either case a written consent of the Obligor is
now or hereafter delivered to Leasetec (all such Leases prior to
delivery of an Obligor consent being called the ('Non-Assigned
Leases'). In lieu of such assignment and transfer, StorageTek
assigns to Leasetec all Payments when collected under the Non-
Assigned Leases, and authorizes Leasetec to bill and collect all
such Payments, and undertakes to deliver to Leasetec any such
Payments which StorageTek receives.
With respect to Leases which are not assignable or are only
assignable with Obligor's consent, StorageTek indemnifies SFSC and
its Transferees under the terms of Section 8.2(b) of the Operating
Agreement for any claim, loss, cost, damage or expense suffered or
incurred as a result or arising out of the lack of ownership and
lack of a security interest in such Leases and the inability to
enforce the terms of such Leases against the Obligors.
2. PURCHASE PRICE AND NET PURCHASE PRICE.
2.1. Purchase Price. The purchase price shall be as identified in each
Country Portfolio Appendix ('Purchase Price') of the Country
Portfolio Appendices (the 'Purchase Price').
2.2. Net Purchase Price. Net Purchase Price shall be the Purchase
Price less the principal amount of the Assumed Debt as of the
Effective Date.
2.3. Effective Date Calculations. The Purchase Price for the Purchased
Assets is calculated as of the Effective Date. There are no
adjustments to be made to the Purchase Price. Leasetec is
entitled to all Payments and other Proceeds from the Leases and
Equipment which are attributed to periods after the Effective
Date. StorageTek is entitled to all such Payments and other
Proceeds which are attributed to periods before the Effective
Date. All Assumed Debt becomes the responsibility of Leasetec as
of the day following the Effective Date; and all sales, use and
other taxes which are assessed on or concerning the Equipment and
Leases on or after the day following the Effective Date are the
responsibility of Leasetec, except as otherwise provided herein or
in the Operating Agreement.
2.4. Taxes. Leasetec acknowledges that it is liable for and that the
Purchase Price for Equipment, Financed Software and Financed
Services purchased hereunder will be exclusive of any applicable
sales, use, VAT, transfer, property, and/or other taxes howsoever
designated or levied upon the sale, delivery or use of the related
products. Leasetec shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify
and hold harmless StorageTek from and against, reporting and
payment of any and all such taxes, interest and penalties;
provided Leasetec is responsible and indemnifies for only those
property taxes which are assessed on Equipment after its title
passes to Leasetec. The parties agree to cooperate to minimize
the incidence of tax on the Equipment, Financed Software and
Financed Services, their purchase and financing hereunder, their
ownership, possession, use, or lease, and this Agreement.
Leasetec will reimburse StorageTek for any such taxes which
StorageTek is required to pay a taxing authority.

the Equipment and has not been modified in any way, revoked, or
rescinded and remains in full force and effect.

perform this Agreement.

any warranty by StorageTek hereunder except to the extent Leasetec
has been either unable after reasonable efforts to collect monies
due under a lease, or secure rights to Equipment and such
inability is due to StorageTek's breach. Leasetec will not make
any such claims until the aggregate amount of such claims
(domestically and internationally) reaches $100,000.00. Each time
