It is intended that this Agreement will be adopted by the\nrespective subsidiaries of StorageTek and Leasetec with respect to the\nDesignated Territories with such modifications as may be agreed by the\nrespective subsidiaries.\n\n                            RECITALS\n\n\n  A. Leasetec Corporation, as parent, and Storage Technology Corporation, as\n     parent, have entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, under which\n     Leasetec Corporation will purchase all of the issued and outstanding\n     shares of StorageTek Financial Services Corporation ('SFSC'), which is\n     the subsidiary of Storage Technology Corporation which currently does\n     all of the leasing activity with third parties for equipment\n     manufactured or sold by Storage Technology Corporation in the United\n     States.  Completion of the transaction contemplated by the Stock\n     Purchase Agreement will transfer to Leasetec Corporation all of Storage\n     Technology Corporation's U.S. leasing activity.\n     \n  B. Leasetec Corporation and Storage Technology Corporation also desire\n     that their subsidiaries agree to transfer to Leasetec Corporation all\n     of Storage Technology Corporation's subsidiaries' leasing activity for\n     the countries in the Designated Territories, including the current\n     leases and\/or lease receivables for StorageTek's equipment and title to\n     such equipment.  Because leasing activity in the Designated Territories\n     is conducted by Storage Technology Corporation's operating subsidiary\n     in each country, the assets associated with such activity must be\n     transferred in each country by the subsidiary in that country.\n     \n  C. This Agreement constitutes the basic agreement under which the\n     lease assets will be transferred in each country, by Storage Technology\n     Corporation's subsidiary to Leasetec Corporation's subsidiary.  No\n     assets or liabilities of Storage Technology Corporation are being\n     transferred hereunder.  It is intended that this Agreement will be\n     adopted by the subsidiaries in each of the Designated Territories with\n     appropriate modifications as agreed by such subsidiaries.\n     \n                       TERMS OF AGREEMENT\n\n1.   PURCHASE AND SALE\n\n     1.1. Purchased Assets.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of\n          this Agreement, on the Closing Date, StorageTek shall sell,\n          transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Leasetec, and Leasetec\n          shall purchase from StorageTek, all right, title and interest of\n          StorageTek in, to and under:\n          \n          (A)  subject to Section 1.3, all of StorageTek's Leases identified\n               in the individual Country Portfolio Appendices;\n               \n          (B)  all files relating to such Leases;\n\n          (C)  the Equipment sold hereunder or leased pursuant to the Leases\n               and identified in the individual Country Portfolio\n               Appendices, together with a license to the internal code in\n               such Equipment;\n               \n          (D)  all Proceeds derived or produced from or generated with\n               respect to such Equipment and Leases (including without\n               limitation sale proceeds, Rental Payments, insurance\n               proceeds, Financed Software fees and Financed Service Fees,\n               but not including other maintenance or software fees) from\n               and after the Effective Date; and\n               \n          (E)  the Assumed Debt Documents related to the Assumed Debt as of\n               the Effective Date for which StorageTek has obtained from the\n               applicable lenders, and delivered to Leasetec, consents as\n               contemplated by Section 3.4(f).\n               \n      The assets referred to in this Section are collectively referred to as \n      the 'Purchased Assets.' Notwithstanding the transfer of such Purchased \n      Assets to Leasetec, Leasetec agrees that it shall do nothing to prevent \n      StorageTek from performing its obligations with respect to such Purchased \n      Assets.\n               \n     1.2. Assumed Liabilities.  On the Closing Date, Leasetec shall deliver\n          to StorageTek the assumption agreements pursuant to which Leasetec\n          shall assume and agree to pay, perform or otherwise discharge, in\n          accordance with their respective terms and subject to the\n          respective conditions thereof, all the liabilities and obligations\n          of StorageTek to be paid or performed after the Effective Date\n          under the Assumed Debt Documents for Assumed Debt identified in\n          Schedule C to each Country Portfolio Appendix.\n          \n     1.3. Non-Assignable Leases.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary\n          appearing elsewhere herein, StorageTek does not assign or transfer\n          (i) any Lease which is not assignable by the lessor; or (ii) any\n          Lease requiring consent of the Obligor for assignment by the\n          lessor, unless in either case a written consent of the Obligor is\n          now or hereafter delivered to Leasetec (all such Leases prior to\n          delivery of an Obligor consent being called the ('Non-Assigned\n          Leases').  In lieu of such assignment and transfer, StorageTek\n          assigns to Leasetec all Payments when collected under the Non-\n          Assigned Leases, and authorizes Leasetec to bill and collect all\n          such Payments, and undertakes to deliver to Leasetec any such\n          Payments which StorageTek receives.\n          \n          With respect to Leases which are not assignable or are only\n          assignable with Obligor's consent, StorageTek indemnifies SFSC and\n          its Transferees under the terms of Section 8.2(b) of the Operating\n          Agreement for any claim, loss, cost, damage or expense suffered or\n          incurred as a result or arising out of the lack of ownership and\n          lack of a security interest in such Leases and the inability to\n          enforce the terms of such Leases against the Obligors.\n          \n2.   PURCHASE PRICE AND NET PURCHASE PRICE.\n\n     2.1. Purchase Price.  The purchase price shall be as identified in each\n          Country Portfolio Appendix ('Purchase Price') of the Country\n          Portfolio Appendices (the 'Purchase Price').\n          \n     2.2. Net Purchase Price.  Net Purchase Price shall be the Purchase\n          Price less the principal amount of the Assumed Debt as of the\n          Effective Date.\n          \n     2.3. Effective Date Calculations.  The Purchase Price for the Purchased\n          Assets is calculated as of the Effective Date.  There are no\n          adjustments to be made to the Purchase Price.  Leasetec is\n          entitled to all Payments and other Proceeds from the Leases and\n          Equipment which are attributed to periods after the Effective\n          Date. StorageTek is entitled to all such Payments and other\n          Proceeds which are attributed to periods before the Effective\n          Date.  All Assumed Debt becomes the responsibility of Leasetec as\n          of the day following the Effective Date; and all sales, use and\n          other taxes which are assessed on or concerning the Equipment and\n          Leases on or after the day following the Effective Date are the\n          responsibility of Leasetec, except as otherwise provided herein or\n          in the Operating Agreement.\n          \n     2.4. Taxes.  Leasetec acknowledges that it is liable for and that the\n          Purchase Price for Equipment, Financed Software and Financed\n          Services purchased hereunder will be exclusive of any applicable\n          sales, use, VAT, transfer, property, and\/or other taxes howsoever\n          designated or levied upon the sale, delivery or use of the related\n          products. Leasetec shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify\n          and hold harmless StorageTek from and against, reporting and\n          payment of any and all such taxes, interest and penalties;\n          provided Leasetec is responsible and indemnifies for only those\n          property taxes which are assessed on Equipment after its title\n          passes to Leasetec.  The parties agree to cooperate to minimize\n          the incidence of tax on the Equipment, Financed Software and\n          Financed Services, their purchase and financing hereunder, their\n          ownership, possession, use, or lease, and this Agreement.\n          Leasetec will reimburse StorageTek for any such taxes which\n          StorageTek is required to pay a taxing authority.\n          \n\n3.

On the Closing Date, Leasetec shall\n          pay to StorageTek an amount equal to the Net Purchase Price, plus\n          interest on the Net Purchase Price, computed at a rate of 7% per\n          annum from the Effective Date through the Closing Date, by wire\n          transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified\n          in the applicable Country Portfolio Appendix.\n          \n     3.3.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY STORAGETEK.  As an inducement to\nLeasetec to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions\ncontemplated hereby, and without limiting the applicability of the Operating\nAgreement as aforesaid, StorageTek represents and warrants to Leasetec as\nfollows:\n\n     5.1. StorageTek has no actual knowledge of any material breach by an\n          Obligor of any of its material obligations under the Lease, except\n          as have been previously disclosed to Leasetec in writing.\n          \n     5.2. StorageTek does not require the approval, consent or waiver of any\n          party (including its lenders) to enter into this Agreement and\n          sell Equipment hereunder, other than any such consents and\n          approvals that have been or will be obtained as of the Closing\n          Date.\n          \n     5.3. StorageTek has the absolute right to assign all of the Leases to\n          Leasetec; each Lease is duly authorized and validly executed by\n          the Obligor and constitutes a  legally valid, binding and\n          effective agreement enforceable against such Obligor in accordance\n          with its terms; each Lease constitutes the entire understanding\n          between StorageTek and the Obligor with respect to the lease of\n          the Equipment and has not been modified in any way, revoked, or\n          rescinded and remains in full force and effect.\n          \n     5.4. All of the executed originals (whether manually signed or carbon\n          originals) of each Lease have been delivered to Leasetec (other\n          than those executed originals of the Lease in Obligor's\n          possession).\n          \n     5.5. Upon the assignment of the Leases to Leasetec, Leasetec will\n          acquire good and marketable title to such Leases, free and clear\n          of all liens, security interests and encumbrances, except for the\n          interest of the Obligor under the applicable Lease and any\n          security interest identified in Exhibit A to the applicable\n          Country Portfolio Appendix; and there are no taxes with respect to\n          the Equipment which are due and unpaid, other than those arising\n          as a result of the sale of the Equipment hereunder, and such title\n          shall effectively pass and shall be effectively evidenced by the\n          Bill of Sale and Assignment and any other documents reasonably\n          required by Leasetec.\n          \n     5.6. There are no filings, recordings or registrations (including,\n          without limitation, UCC and PPSA filings and registrations of\n          charges) now in effect which evidence, indicate or provide notice\n          of any claims, liens, encumbrances or other security interests on\n          or against the Equipment, the Leases, this Agreement or the\n          proceeds of any of them, except (i) those security interests for\n          which releases (satisfactory in form and substance to Leasetec)\n          have been delivered herewith and (ii) those security interests\n          identified in Exhibit A to the applicable Country Portfolio\n          Appendix.  If any filings, recordings or registrations are found\n          to exist in violation of the foregoing warranty, StorageTek will\n          exercise best efforts to obtain their release as soon as possible\n          after they are discovered; but notwithstanding such efforts and\n          any resultant releases, any claim, loss, cost, damage or expense\n          incurred by SFSC as a result of such filings, recordings or\n          registrations are subject to the indemnity under Section 8.2 of\n          the Operating Agreement.\n          \n6.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY LEASETEC\/CLAIMS BY LEASETEC.  As an\ninducement to StorageTek to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the\ntransactions contemplated hereby, Leasetec represents and warrants to\nStorageTek as follows:\n\n     6.1. It is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and duly\n          qualified to conduct its business as it is presently conducted in\n          such jurisdictions in the United States where the failure to so\n          qualify would have a material adverse impact on the business of\n          the corporation or the enforceability of this Agreement, and has\n          full corporate power to enter into this Agreement and to carry out\n          the transactions contemplated hereby.\n          \n     6.2. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance\n          by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly\n          authorized by all necessary corporate action and this Agreement\n          constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in\n          accordance with its terms, subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency\n          or similar laws.\n          \n     6.3. Neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement nor the\n          consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will conflict\n          with or result in a breach of any other agreement or instrument to\n          which it is a party or by which it is bound or be in violation or\n          default of any applicable statute, rule, regulation or decree of\n          any court, administrative agency or governmental body to which it\n          may be subject; except for conflicts, breaches, violations or\n          defaults which would not (i) have a material, adverse affect on\n          the business of Leasetec; or (ii) restrict Leasetec's ability to\n          perform this Agreement.\n          \n     6.4. Leasetec may not make any claim for damages due to the breach of\n          any warranty by StorageTek hereunder except to the extent Leasetec\n          has been either unable after reasonable efforts to collect monies\n          due under a lease, or secure rights to Equipment and such\n          inability is due to StorageTek's breach.  Leasetec will not make\n          any such claims until the aggregate amount of such claims\n          (domestically and internationally) reaches $100,000.00.  Each time\n          such claims aggregate to that amount, Leasetec ma;y invoice\n          StorageTek or its appropriate subsidiaries for the amounts of such\n          claims and thereafter pursue its legal rights with respect to such\n          claims.\n          \n\n7.    ADOPTION BY SUBSIDIARIES\/AFFILIATES.  Each party agrees to arrange for\nthe adoption of the terms and conditions of this Agreement  for their lease\nfinancing programs, Equipment sales and operations in the  Designated\nTerritories.

Subject to Sections 8.2  through 8.5, any\n          controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement\n          or the breach thereof will be settled by arbitration before three\n          arbitrators in accordance with the Rules or the American\n          Arbitration Association ('AAA') then in effect, and judgment upon\n          the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court\n          having jurisdiction.  Any such arbitration will be conducted in\n          the city nearest Leasetec's main U.S. office having an AAA\n          regional office.

Actual Damages.  The arbitrators will have no authority to award\n          punitive damages nor any other damages not measured by the\n          prevailing party's actual damages, and may not, in any event, make\n          any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms\n          and conditions of this Agreement.  Where a specific exclusive\n          remedy (such as repurchase of Equipment) is provided herein, that\n          remedy shall be awarded, regardless of any determination of actual\n          damages.\n          \n     8.3. Equitable Relief.  Either party, before or during any arbitration,\n          may apply to a court having jurisdiction for a temporary\n          restraining order or preliminary injunction where such relief is\n          necessary to protect its interests pending completion of the\n          arbitration proceedings.  Arbitration will not be required for\n          actions for recovery of specific property such as replevin.\n          \n     8.4. No Disclosure.  Except as required by law, neither party nor the\n          arbitrators may disclose the existence or results of any\n          arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both\n          parties.\n          \n     8.5.
