STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT    
  

    THIS
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT is entered into this 30th day of July, 2001 between HPL TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and PHILIP GRUEBELE (the
"Grantee"). 

    WHEREAS
Heuristic Physics Laboratories, Inc. ("HPLI") and the Grantee entered into that certain Stock Option Agreement, dated as of September 23, 1997, pursuant to which
Grantee was granted an option to purchase up to 960,000 shares of common stock of HPLI (the "HPLI Option"); 

    WHEREAS
HPLI merged with Heuristic Merger Sub and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, all pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
July 2, 2001, by and among the Company, Heuristic Merger Sub and HPLI (the "Merger Agreement"); 

    WHEREAS,
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each stock option of HPLI outstanding as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is exchanged for a substitute stock
option of the Company (as more fully described in Section 1, the "Substitute Option") containing substantially the same terms and conditions as the HPL Option, except that the number of shares
and option price of the Substitute Option is being adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement); 

    The
parties agree as follows: 

    1.  GRANT OF SUBSTITUTE OPTION:  In consideration for assigning the HPLI Option to the Company by
executing an assignment in the form of Exhibit A, the Company hereby grants to Grantee the right and option to purchase, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, an aggregate of
1,632,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value, at an exercise price of $0.01471 per share. 

    2.  TIME AND MANNER OF EXERCISE:  

    (a) The
Substitute Option is exercisable with respect to all shares of common stock covered by the Substitute Option during its term. 

    (b)  Right to Exercise.  

      i. The
Substitute Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. 

     ii. No
shares will be issued under this Agreement unless such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any
stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the shares shall be considered transferred to the Grantee on the date on which the Substitute
Option is exercised with respect to such shares. 

    (c)  Method of Exercise.  The Substitute Option shall be exercised by written notice delivered to the
Company at its principal offices at 2033 Gateway Place, San Jose, California 95110, setting forth the number of shares as to which the Substitute Option is being exercised and such other
representations and agreements as to the Grantee's investment intent with respect to such shares as may be required by the Company, and accompanied by a cashier's or certified check or cash in payment
of the Substitute Option purchase price for the number of shares being purchased. Promptly upon receipt of such notice and payment, the Company will deliver to Grantee stock certificate(s)
representing the shares purchased.

    3.  TERMINATION OF OPTION:  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Substitute Option, to the extent not
theretofore exercised, and subject to any laws or regulations (other than Internal Revenue Code Section 422) that require a shorter time period, shall terminate upon the first to occur of the
following dates: 

    (a) The
expiration of 1460 days after termination of Grantee's employment by HPLI for reason other than death or permanent and total disability; 

    (b) The
expiration of 1460 days after termination of Grantee's employment by HPLI if such termination is by reason of Grantee's permanent and total disability; 

    (c) The
expiration of 1460 days after Grantee's death, during which period Grantee' s executors or administrators may exercise the Substitute Option as to any of
the shares as to which it was exercisable and not previously exercised during Grantee's lifetime; 

    (d) September 23,
2001. 

    4.  ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION: SUCCESSOR CORPORATIONS:  Subject to any required action
by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of stock subject to the Substitute Option, and the price per share thereof, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in
the number of issued shares of common stock of the Company effected without receipt of consideration by the Company or resulting from any stock split, reclassification, distribution of a stock
dividend, or other subdivision or consolidation of shares. Any fraction of a share subject to option that would otherwise result from an adjustment pursuant to the foregoing shall be rounded downward
to the next full number of shares without other compensation or consideration to Grantee. If the Company is reorganized, or consolidated or merged with another Company, Grantee shall be entitled to
receive options to purchase shares of the reorganized, consolidated or merged corporation in the same proportion, at an equivalent price, and subject to the same terms and conditions. Upon dissolution
or liquidation of the Company, or a merger or consolidation, pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving corporation, the Grantee shall have the right immediately prior to such dissolution or
liquidation, or merger or consolidation, to exercise the Substitute Option in whole or in part. All adjustments provided for herein shall be made by the Company's Board of Directors, whose
determination in that respect shall be final. Whenever the Company takes any action resulting in any adjustment provided for herein, it shall forthwith deliver notice of such action to the Grantee,
setting forth the number of shares, and the purchase price thereof, resulting from such adjustment. 

    5.  RIGHTS PRIOR TO EXERCISE:  

    (a) Grantee
shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the Substitute Option shares until payment of the exercise price of the Substitute Option and delivery
of a certificate for such shares as provided herein. 

    (b) The
Substitute Option is nontransferable by Grantee, except in the event of his or her death as provided in Paragraph 3(c) above, and during Grantee's
lifetime is exercisable only by Grantee. 

    (c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Grantee shall have the right to receive the following financial and other information about the Company, on at least an annual basis:
financial statements and revenues forecast. 

    6.  GRANTEE'S REPRESENTATIONS AND SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE:  

    (a) In
the event the shares purchasable pursuant to the exercise of the Substitute Option have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the
time the Substitute Option is exercised, Grantee shall, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of the 

2

 

Substitute Option, deliver to the Company his Investment Representation Statement in the form acceptable to the Company and the Certificate for the shares covered by the Substitute Option shall bear
appropriate legends. 

    (b) The
Substitute Option may not be exercised if the issuance of such shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would
constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulation. 

    7.  DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE.  In the event of the dissolution of marriage of Grantee, Grantee shall have
the right and option to purchase from his spouse all or any portion of the shares awarded to the spouse pursuant to a decree of dissolution of marriage or any other order by any court of competent
jurisdiction and/or by any property settlement agreement (whether or not incorporated by reference in any such decree), at the fair market value of such shares of stock as determined by the Board of
Directors upon the terms set forth below. The Grantee shall exercise his or her right, if at all, within thirty (30) days of the entry of any such decree or execution of such property
settlement agreement by delivery to the Grantee's spouse of written notice of exercise, specifying the number of shares of stock the Grantee elects to purchase. The purchase price for the shares shall
be paid (i) by payment of cash in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the purchase price, and (ii) by delivery of a promissory note for the balance of the purchase price bearing
interest at a rate at least equal to the minimum interest rate necessary to avoid imputed interest pursuant to all applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, with principal and interest payable
in four (4) equal annual installments, commencing on the anniversary date of the transaction. In the event Grantee does not exercise his right to purchase all of the shares awarded to Grantee's
spouse, Grantee shall provide written notice to the Company of the number of shares of stock available for purchase within thirty (30) days of the entry of the decree. The Company shall then
have the right to purchase any of the shares of stock not acquired by Grantee directly from Grantee's spouse at the same price and on the same terms that were available to Grantee. 

    In
determining the fair market value of such shares for purposes of this Section, the Board shall consider the following criteria: 

    (1) The
price must be fair. 

    (2) "Predominant
weight" shall be given to the following: 

    (A) The
price at which securities of reasonably comparable corporations (if any) in the same industry are being traded, subject to appropriate adjustments for the
dissimilarities between the corporations being compared. 

    (B) In
the absence of any reliable indicator under subsection (A), the earnings history, book value and prospects of the Company in light of market conditions
generally. 

    8.  TRANSFERABILITY OF THE SHARES:  

    (a) The
shares issuable upon exercise of the Substitute Option are subject to a Right of First Refusal (as defined below) under this Agreement, and they may be sold,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of only as provided herein. Grantee further authorizes the Company to refuse, or to cause its transfer agent to refuse, to transfer any stock
attempted to be transferred in violation of this Agreement. 

    (b) The
certificate or certificates evidencing any of the shares covered by the Substitute Option shall be endorsed with legends substantially as follows: 

"THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO WHICH SUCH SHARES WERE PURCHASED WHICH AGREEMENT INCLUDES A 

3

 

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY." 

"THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED ONLY IF REGISTERED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THAT ACT
OR IF IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AN EXCEPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE." 

    Any
legend required under applicable state blue sky laws. 

    (c) Transfer
or sale of the shares is subject to restrictions on transfer imposed by state and federal securities laws. Any transferee from Grantee shall hold shares
subject to all the provisions hereof and shall acknowledge the same in writing prior to such transfer. 

    9.  COMPANY RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.  

    (a) In
the event Grantee exercises the Substitute Option and proposes to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer any shares, the Company shall have a right of first refusal
("Right of First Refusal") with respect to such shares. Grantee agrees that in no event will he sell, pledge or otherwise transfer any shares except in compliance with this Section. Before any
proposed transfer, Grantee shall give a written notice (the "Transfer Notice") to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of shares proposed to be transferred, the
proposed transfer price and the name and address of the proposed transferee. The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by Grantee and by the proposed transferee and must constitute a binding commitment
of both such parties for the transfer of the shares, subject only to the Right of First Refusal. The Company shall have the right to purchase the shares subject to the Transfer Notice on the terms set
forth in the Transfer Notice by delivery to Grantee of a notice of exercise of the Company's Right of First Refusal within thirty (30) days after the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to
the Company. The Company's rights under this subsection shall be freely assignable, in whole and in part. To exercise its rights hereunder, the Company and/or its assignee must purchase all the shares
subject to the Transfer Notice. 

    (b) If
the Company fails to exercise in full the Right of First Refusal within thirty (30) days from the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company,
Grantee may, not later than ninety (90) days following delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice, conclude a transfer of the shares subject to the Transfer Notice on the terms and
conditions described in the Transfer Notice. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by
Grantee, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance by Grantee with the procedure described in this Section. If the Company exercises the Right of First Refusal,
the parties shall consummate the sale of the shares of stock on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within forty-five (45) days of the delivery of the Transfer Notice to the
Company. 

    (c) All
transferees of shares or any interest therein, other than the Company, shall be required as a condition of such transfer, to agree in writing (in a form
satisfactory to the Company) that they will receive and hold such shares or interests subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including the Right of First Refusal. Any sale or transfer of any
shares shall be void unless the provisions of this Section are met. 

    (d) The
Right of First Refusal shall terminate at such time as a public market exists for the Company's common stock (or any other stock issued by the Company, or any
successor, in exchange for the shares). For the purpose of this Agreement, a "public market" shall be deemed to exist if quotations for such stock are reported by the automated quotations system
operated by 

4

 

the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (NASDAQ) or by an equivalent quotations system. 

    (e) Subject
to the provisions of the Substitute Option pertaining to dissolution of Grantee's marriage, the Right of First Refusal shall not apply to a transfer to
Grantee's ancestors or descendants or spouse or to a trustee for their benefit, provided that such transferee shall agree in writing (in a form satisfactory to the Company) to take the shares subject
to all terms of this Agreement, including the Right of First Refusal. 

    10.  FREEZE ON RIGHT TO SELL SHARES OR OPTION RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER AFTER STOCK BECOMES PUBLICLY
TRADED.  Subject to any law or regulation to the contrary, Grantee shall have no right to sell or otherwise transfer any of the shares acquired in accordance
with this Agreement, or any options or other rights granted hereunder, for a period of six (6) months following the date on which the common stock of the Company (or any other stock issued by
the Company, or any successor, in exchange for the shares) is first publicly traded, as defined as the first date that a public market exists for such stock. A "public market" shall be deemed to exist
if quotations for such stock are reported by the automated quotations system operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (NASDAQ) or by an equivalent
quotations system. 

    11.  TAXATION.  Grantee understands that this agreement is not being entered into in accordance with any
Employee Stock Incentive Plan adopted by the Company under internal Revenue Code Section 422. Grantee further understands that Grantee's exercise of the options set forth herein may result in
his recognition of ordinary income for income tax purposes in the year of such exercise in the amount of the difference between the Substitute Option price and the fair market value of the shares as
of the date of exercise. 

    12.  OTHER PROVISIONS:  

    (a) The
Substitute Option is granted and delivered in the State of California and is intended to be construed and enforced under the laws thereof. 

    (b) The
provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and
assigns. 

    (c) Unless
otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted under the Substitute Option shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon
personal delivery to the party to be notified or upon deposit with the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the party to be notified as set
forth in the records of the Company, or such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days' advance written notice to the other parties. 

    IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, this Substitute Option is executed on behalf of the Company by its duly authorized officers and by Grantee as of the date first above written.

                         MASTER LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

MASTER LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of June 28, 2001 ("Lease"), by and
between Electronic Data Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation with its
principal place of business located at 5400 Legacy Drive, Plano, Texas 75024, as
lessor ("Lessor"), and Nestor Traffic Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation
with its principal place of business located at One Richmond Square, Providence,
Rhode Island 02906, as lessee ("Lessee").

The parties hereto, for good and valuable consideration and intending to be
legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.   PROCEDURE FOR LEASING:

     (a) SCHEDULES. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in
any applicable Schedule (as hereinafter defined) hereto, Lessor agrees to lease
to Lessee, and Lessee agrees to lease from Lessor, each facility (including all
items of equipment, services and facilities (each, an "Item") to be incorporated
therein prior to the Completion Date thereof, a "Facility") described in any
Master Lease Purchase Schedule (a "Schedule") from time to time executed in the
form of Exhibit A by Lessor and Lessee pursuant hereto. Any and all such
Schedules are deemed a part hereof, and each such Schedule incorporates by
reference this Lease and shall constitute, subject to Section 9 hereof, a
separate lease. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings
provided for in the applicable Schedule(s) hereto. As and when directed by
Lessee in accordance with Section 1(b) hereof and, in any event, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Lease, Lessor hereby agrees to acquire (or to
advance funds to Lessee for the acquisition of) up to a total of one hundred
sixteen (116) Facilities, at a purchase price per Facility (the "Lessor's Cost")
of $53,053.00, and to lease each such Facility to Lessee in accordance with the
terms of this Lease and each applicable Schedule hereto.

     (b) CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. The obligations of Lessor to purchase any Items
from the manufacturer, supplier or provider thereof (the "Vendor"), to advance
to Lessee all or any portion of the Lessor's Cost for the acquisition of any
Facility or Items thereof, and/or to lease any Facility to Lessee under any
Schedule, are, in each case, subject to Lessor's prior receipt of each of the
following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor: (i) a
fully-completed Schedule containing a detailed description of all Items forming
a part of, or required for installation and completion of, the applicable
Facility to be leased thereunder; (ii) technical specifications and an
implementation plan setting forth a timetable for achieving the Completion Date
with respect to each relevant Facility; (iii) bills of sale or equivalent
documentation, as Lessor may from time to time request, evidencing Lessor's
right, title and interest in and to all Items covered by any Schedule, it being
understood and agreed between Lessor and Lessee that, with respect to all Items
purchased by Lessee from Vendors with funds advanced by Lessor hereunder, Lessee
shall all such times be acting as agent for Lessor with respect to the purchase
thereof, such that title thereto shall immediately vest in Lessor as and when so
purchased; (iv) a certificate of insurance complying with the requirements of
Section 4(f) hereof and the applicable Schedule; and (v) such agreements,
instruments and documents as Lessor may reasonably deem necessary or advisable
for the creation, attachment or perfection of any lien or security interest
hereby granted in favor of Lessor in any and all items of Collateral (as defined
below). Lessor hereby appoints Lessee as its agent for purchase, inspection and
acceptance of any or all Items from the Vendor. Upon Lessee's preparation and
submission to Lessor of each Certificate of Completion for Lessor's approval and
countersignature thereof, any and all Items described in the Certificate of
Completion and/or the Schedule relating to the applicable Facility will be
deemed to have been delivered to, and irrevocably accepted by, Lessee for lease
hereunder.

     (c) ADVANCE REQUEST. Upon Lessee's delivery to Lessor of (i) a written
request (an "Advance Request") that the Lessor's Cost for any Facility be paid
to applicable Vendor(s) directly and/or be advanced to Lessee (as and in such
proportions as Lessee shall direct) and (ii) all other items applicable to such
Advance Request as described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 1(b), Lessor
shall pay to the applicable Vendor(s) directly and/or advance to Lessee (as and
in such proportions as Lessee shall direct) the total sum of $53,053.00,
representing the full amount of the purchase price for each applicable Facility
and the applicable Lessor's Cost therefor.

     2. TERM AND RENT; COLLATERAL: The lease of and rent for Items comprising
any Facility will commence on the day specified in the related Schedule as the
Commencement Date, and will continue for the period specified as the "Term"
therein, as the same may be adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof.
Lessee promises to make each payment of rent (whether as Completion Rent or as
Basic Rent, as the case may be, "Rent") during the Term on the due dates and in
the amounts set forth in each Schedule, without notice or demand, at Lessor's
address set forth above or as otherwise directed by Lessor in writing. No
payment of Rent will be refunded for any cause or reason whatsoever. The parties
hereto intend that all Rents and other amounts payable by Lessee hereunder will
continue to be payable in all events unless the obligation to pay same is
terminated pursuant to the express terms hereof or of any Schedule hereto. If
any payment hereunder falls due on a day on which Lessor is not open for
business (a "Business Day"), such payment shall be due and payable on the
immediately preceding Business Day. Subject to any and all applicable terms of
the License Agreement (as defined below), as collateral security for the payment
and performance of any or all obligations of Lessee under this Lease and each
Schedule hereto, Lessee hereby grants to Lessor (x) a continuing lien and
security interest in and with respect to (all of the following items,
collectively, the "Collateral") any and all equipment, supplies, facilities,
assets or rights, whether now or hereafter owned or acquired by Lessee, at any
time forming a part of or used in, and necessary for the commercial operation
of, any Facility (including, without limitation, any and all access rights,
contract rights, equipment platforms, software applications, etc., at any time
forming a part of or used in, and necessary for such commercial operation of,
such Facility), and (y) a right of first refusal to assume (in Lessor's
discretion and without obligation) in the circumstances of default as specified
in Section 9 hereof Lessee's rights and obligations under, and to undertake
performance in Lessee's place and stead of, any contractual arrangements of
Lessee with third-parties (each, a "Facility Contract") relating to the
commercial use or operation of any or all Facilities, it being understood and
agreed that Lessee shall at all times use commercially reasonable efforts to
secure in all such Facility Contracts terms and conditions permitting the
exercise of remedies by Lessor as contemplated by Section 9 hereof. As used in
this Lease, the term "License Agreement" means that certain Master License
Agreement for CrossingGuard Software, dated as of June 28, 2001, by and between
Lessee, as the licensor, and Lessor, as the licensee, relating to certain
Software (as defined in the License Agreement) as may from time to time be
included in the Collateral subject hereto.

     3. LATE CHARGE: If any Rent or any other amount due hereunder from Lessee
(other than the amounts due under this Section 3) is not paid within fifteen
(15) days after the due date therefor, Lessee agrees to pay a late charge equal
to five percent (5%) on the amount of such delinquent Rent or other payment, but
not exceeding the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. The failure
of Lessor to collect any late charge will not constitute a waiver of Lessor's
right with respect thereto. Late charges will be due and payable on the due date
for the next following payment of Rent.

     4. LESSEE REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS: Lessee represents, warrants,
covenants and agrees as follows, and each such representation, warranty,
covenant and agreement shall be deemed made and renewed as of the date hereof
and as of the Commencement Date, each Advance Request date and the Completion
Date under each Schedule, without the necessity of any further act or
instrument:

        (a) GENERAL. (i) Lessee is duly organized and validly existing under the
laws of the State of Delaware; this Lease, each Schedule hereto and all
instruments delivered in connection herewith and therewith (x) have been duly
authorized by all necessary action and have been duly executed and delivered,
(y) constitute valid, legal and binding agreements of Lessee, enforceable
against Lessee in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent
limited by applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws, and (z) do not and will
not (and Lessee's performance hereunder or thereunder does not and will not)
conflict with Lessee's organizational documents or with any indenture, contract
or agreement by which Lessee is bound or with any statute, judgment, decree,
rule or regulation binding upon Lessee; (ii) no consent or approval of any
governmental authority or of any trustee or holder of any indebtedness or
obligation of Lessee is necessary for Lessee's execution or performance of this
Lease or any Schedule hereto, except to the extent that such consent or approval
has been obtained; (iii) there is no

                  MASTER LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT - EDS/NESTOR

<Page>

litigation or other proceeding pending, or to the best of Lessee's knowledge,
threatened against or affecting Lessee which, if decided adversely to Lessee,
would adversely affect or impair the title of Lessor to any Items or which, if
decided adversely to Lessee, would materially adversely affect the business
operations or financial condition of Lessee; (iv) any and all financial or other
data that have been delivered to Lessor with respect to Lessee, this Lease or
any Schedule are complete and correct in all material respects and fairly
present the matters therein reflected, (v) there has been no material adverse
change in the condition of Lessee, financial or otherwise, since the date of
Lessor's most recent certification pursuant to this Section 4(a), and (vi) the
computer and management information systems of Lessee and its subsidiaries and
affiliates are and, with ordinary-course upgrading and maintenance, will
continue for the term of this Lease and any Schedule hereto to be, sufficient to
permit Lessee (or Lessor, upon Lessor's exercise of any rights or remedies
against any Collateral consisting thereof) to operate each of the Facilities as
now or hereafter contemplated by Lessee's contractual arrangements with third
parties with respect to the commercial use and operation thereof.

     (b) NO ABATEMENT. This is a triple net Lease and Lessee's promise to pay
Rent and all other amounts hereunder is irrevocable and independent and, subject
only to postponement as provided for in the final sentence of this Section 4(b),
not subject to cancellation, termination, modification, repudiation, excuse or
substitution for any reason (including, without limitation, the destruction or
loss of any Facility or Item, the cancellation of any third-party contract or
the frustration of the business purpose of Lessee with respect to any Facility,
etc.) without the written consent of Lessor. Lessee agrees to pay all such
amounts as and when due (again, subject only to the final sentence of this
Section 4(b)) by acceleration or otherwise without abatement, irrespective of
any claims, demands, set-offs, actions, suits, or proceedings that it may have
or assert against Lessor or any Vendor of any Item. Lessor will have no
liability to Lessee upon the failure of any Vendor or one or more others to
perform any obligations at any time due to Lessor, Lessee or any other person
and, in all such events, Lessee waives any right in any suit, action or
proceeding to any exemplary, punitive or consequential damages whatsoever. In
the event that Lessor, in providing processing or similar services for Lessee
pursuant to separate agreement(s) or arrangement(s) with respect to the product
or output of any operational Facility (including, without limitation, the
Services Agreement dated as of March 30, 2001, between Lessee and Lessor)
(collectively, the "Service Contracts"), shall (x) wrongfully refuse to perform,
(y) materially misperform (to the extent amounting to an effective nondelivery
of all or a material portion of such services) or (z) for any reason not
permitted or excused by the relevant Service Contract(s), be unable to perform,
any such services for a period of longer than ten (10) Business Days, and such
refusal, misperformance or inability of Lessor causes Lessee's failure to
receive from any third-party the operating revenues that Lessee would have
otherwise been entitled to receive from Facility operations but for such
refusal, misperformance or inability of Lessor, Lessee's obligation with respect
to payment of the Basic Rent installment otherwise then due for such Facility
(and such Facility only) shall be postponed (with corresponding postponements
for succeeding Basic Rent payments), without any additional interest or penalty,
until the next Basic Rent payment date for the first full month after which
Lessor has cured its refusal, misperformance or inability as aforesaid.

     (c) LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES. ALL ITEMS ARE AND SHALL BE FREE AND CLEAR FROM
ALL CLAIMS, LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES WHATSOEVER, EXCEPT FOR ANY LIENS OR SECURITY
INTERESTS EXPRESSLY CONTEMPLATED HEREBY; LESSEE WILL DEFEND ALL ITEMS AGAINST
ALL OTHER LIENS AND WILL NOT SELL, ASSIGN, SUBLET, MORTGAGE, OR ALTER ANY OF THE
FACILITIES OR ITEMS LEASED HEREUNDER OR ANY INTEREST IN THIS LEASE, NOR WILL
LESSEE REMOVE OR RELOCATE ANY OF THE ITEMS FROM THE LOCATION(S) SPECIFIED IN THE
APPLICABLE SCHEDULE WITHOUT HAVING FIRST (A) NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED TO LESSOR ANY
AND ALL AGREEMENTS, UNDERTAKINGS AND ASSURANCES NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN THE
CONTINUOUS ATTACHMENT, PERFECTION AND PRIORITY OF ALL AFFECTED LIENS IN FAVOR OF
LESSOR AS AND TO THE EXTENT SPECIFIED IN SECTION 7 HEREOF, OR (B) OBTAINED THE
PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR, AND ANY ATTEMPT TO SO SELL, ASSIGN, SUBLET,
MORTGAGE, HYPOTHECATE, ALTER OR REMOVE OTHER THAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS
HEREOF WILL CONSTITUTE A DEFAULT HEREUNDER AND SUCH SALE, ASSIGNMENT, SUBLEASE,
MORTGAGE, OR HYPOTHECATION WILL BE VOID AND WITHOUT EFFECT. In order to further
secure all obligations of Lessee hereunder, Lessee assigns and grants to Lessor,
as part of the Collateral, a continuing lien and security interest in all
rights, powers and privileges under any sublease of any Items hereafter
authorized in writing by Lessor.

     (d) USE AND OPERATION. Lessee will at all times use all Items only in
compliance with applicable laws and consistent with the instructions supplied
and use intended for such Items by the Vendor thereof and by the Facility
specifications mutually agreed upon between Lessor and Lessee. Lessee will not
use any Items to carry, contain or produce directly or indirectly any hazardous
substances as defined under applicable federal, state or local law or
regulation. Lessee will not, without the prior written consent of Lessor, affix
or install any accessory, equipment or device on any Items leased hereunder if
such addition will impair the originally-intended function or use of such Items.
All additions, repairs, parts, supplies, accessories, equipment and devices
furnished, attached or fixed to any Item will thereupon without further act or
instrument become the property of Lessor (except such as may be removed without
in any way affecting or impairing the originally-intended function, condition or
use of such Item).

     (e) SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE. Lessee will at its sole expense at all times
maintain all Items in good operating order, repair, condition and appearance and
keep all Items protected from the elements, except during use in the
normally-contemplated manner. At Lessor's request, Lessee will at its expense
affix in a prominent position on each Facility (and appropriate Items thereof)
plates, tags or other identifying labels showing ownership of all Items by
Lessor. Lessor will, at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, have
the right to inspect all Items and Lessee's maintenance records related thereto.
Lessee at its sole expense will make all alterations and modifications with
respect to any Item(s) that may at any time during the term of this Lease or any
Schedule hereunder be required to comply with any applicable law or any
governmental rule or regulation.

     (f) INSURANCE. Lessee hereby assumes all risks of damage, loss, theft, or
destruction, partial or complete, with respect to any and all Facilities and
Items during the term of this Lease and any Schedules hereto and during any
storage period until Lessee has returned or disposed of, or taken title to, all
Items as provided for herein. Lessee will at its own expense keep insurance
adequate to cover each Facility and all Items up to an amount at least equal to
the Stipulated Loss Value of the relevant Facility (as set forth in the
applicable Schedule) against all risks with extended coverage and insurance
companies acceptable to Lessor, with Lessor named as co-loss payee. Lessee
agrees to obtain and maintain at its expense with insurance companies acceptable
to Lessor general public liability insurance naming Lessor as an additional
insured together with Lessee, as their interests may appear, in no event less
than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) or such greater amount, if any, as
specified in the related Schedule against claims for bodily injury, death or
property damage arising out of the use, ownership, possession, operation or
condition of any Facility or related Items. Each insurer will agree, by
endorsement upon the policy or policies issued by it, or by independent
instruments furnished to Lessor, that Lessor will have the power to file claims
against the insurer under said policy, that it will give Lessor thirty (30) days
written notice before the policy or policies in question will be altered,
expired or canceled, and that no act or default of any person other than Lessor,
its agents, or those claiming under Lessor, will affect Lessor's right to
recover under such policy or policies in case of loss. Although any and all
obligations imposed on the insured shall be obligations solely of Lessee, Lessee
will deliver to Lessor the policies or evidence of insurance satisfactory to
Lessor prior to the Commencement Date and thirty (30) days prior to each
expiration date thereof for each Facility and all Items therein. The failure of
Lessee to secure or maintain such insurance will constitute a default under this
Lease. In the event of such default, Lessor may, but will not be obligated to,
obtain such insurance. In the event that Lessor obtains such insurance, an
amount equal to the cost of such insurance will be deemed supplemental rent to
be paid forthwith by Lessee. In the event that any policies insuring against
liability risks described above shall now or hereafter provide coverage on a
"claims made" basis, Lessee shall continue to maintain such policies in effect
for a period of not less than three (3) years after the expiration of the Lease
term of any Schedules.

     (g) USE OF PROCEEDS OF LESSOR ADVANCES. Lessee hereby covenants and agrees
that at no time shall Lessee use or apply the proceeds of any Advance Request(s)
for any purpose other than the purchase, procurement, installation and/or
completion of Items or Facilities as are from time to time subject to this Lease
and/or any Schedule hereto. Any other use of such proceeds by Lessee shall
constitute a material breach by Lessee hereunder and, unless cured by Lessee
(whether by reimbursement to or set-off by Lessor or otherwise, as directed by
Lessor) within five (5) days after the earlier of Lessee's discovery thereof or
Lessor's written notice with respect thereto, shall entitle Lessor to any and
all remedies for default, including, without limitation, termination of this
Lease and any or all Schedules hereto.

     (h) DISPOSITION OF FACILITY AND RELATED ITEMS. Upon satisfaction by Lessee
of any and all obligations (including payment of the Title Payment) specified in
any Schedule with respect to the termination of any Facility lease, Lessor
shall, provided that Lessee is not otherwise then in default hereunder or under
any other Schedule, transfer title to such Facility and all Items therein to
Lessee as and to the extent provided in the applicable Schedule.

5. TRANSFER OF WARRANTIES: To the extent permitted by law and contract, Lessor
will pass through without representation to Lessee the benefit of all
warranties, if any, of the Vendor of any Items and, so long as there is no
default hereunder, Lessee will have the right to, and will, directly avail
itself of all warranties by the Vendor with respect to such Items. Lessor will
not take any action that prejudices Lessee's right to, or under the terms of,
any such warranty. If, subsequent to any Commencement Date, Lessee shall
determine that any Item is unsatisfactory for any reason (including any failure
of the Item to conform to the specifications set forth in any purchase order),
Lessee shall make any claim on account thereof solely against the Vendor, and
Lessee will give Lessor notice of any such claim made by Lessee against any
Vendor and any cash settlement of any such claim will be payable solely to
Lessor.

6. LOSS OR DAMAGE:

     (a) Lessee hereby assumes and is solely responsible for the entire risk of
use and operation of each Facility and any and all Items and for each and every
accident or hazard resulting therefrom and all losses and damages associated
therewith howsoever arising.

     (b) In the event of any total loss, destruction, theft, confiscation or
damage beyond repair (determined without reference to the remaining Term with
respect thereto) of or to any Facility (a "Casualty Occurrence"), Lessee will
pay to Lessor on the next due date for Rent following the Casualty Occurrence or
on the last day of the Term thereof, whichever first occurs, the greater of the
applicable Stipulated Loss Value(s) or the amount determined by application of
the liquidated damages provision in Section 9(c) hereof. Upon payment of such
amounts, and provided no default exists hereunder, Lessee will be entitled to
recover possession of such Facility and title thereto will vest in Lessee free
and clear of any right or interest of Lessor, as and to the extent provided in
Section 4(h) hereof.

     (c) In the event of damage to any Facility or Item that does not amount to
a Casualty Occurrence, Lessee will give prompt notice of such damage to Lessor
and at Lessee's sole cost and expense promptly repair such Facility or Item to
its previous condition, which condition assumes that Lessee has met all of its
obligations required for maintenance hereunder. Provided that Lessee is not in
breach or default of this Lease, any proceeds of insurance received by Lessor
with respect to any such loss will be paid over by Lessor to Lessee to the
extent necessary to reimburse Lessee for costs incurred and paid by Lessee in
repairing such damaged Facility or Item, but only upon evidence satisfactory to
Lessor that such repairs have been accomplished.

7. FIRST PRIORITY LIEN: Lessee represents and warrants to Lessor with respect to
each Schedule that, upon the filing of the financing statements delivered to
Lessor on or prior to the relevant Commencement Date in the jurisdiction(s)
where any Items are located as indicated in such Schedule, Lessor shall have a
first, prior and perfected security interest in all such Items as and when (and
at all times from and after the same are) acquired by Lessor or Lessee
hereunder, free and clear of all other liens and encumbrances except the
interest of Lessee (as a lessee) hereunder.

8. INDEMNIFICATION: LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT ALONE SELECTS ALL ITEMS AND THE
VENDOR(S) THEREOF. LESSEE UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT LESSOR MAKES NO
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO
ANY FACILITY OR ANY ITEM, INCLUDING THE CONDITION THEREOF, ITS MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND, AS TO LESSOR, LESSEE LEASES EACH
FACILITY AND ALL ITEMS AS IS. NO DEFECT OR UNFITNESS OF ANY FACILITY OR ANY ITEM
SHALL RELIEVE LESSEE OF THE OBLIGATION TO PAY RENT OR OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATION
UNDER THIS LEASE. Accordingly, Lessee agrees to indemnify, save and keep
harmless Lessor, its agents, employees, successors and assigns from and against
any and all losses, damages, expenses (including legal expenses), penalties,
injuries, claims, actions and suits of whatsoever kind and nature, in contract
or tort, howsoever arising from any cause whatsoever ("Damages") including, but
not limited to, Lessor's strict liability in tort, or otherwise arising out of
(i) the selection, manufacture, purchase, financing, acceptance or rejection of
any Facility or any Item, the ownership of any Facility or any Item during the
term of this Lease or any Schedule, and the delivery, lease, possession,
maintenance, uses, condition, return or operation of any Facility or any Item
(including, without limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not
discoverable by Lessor or Lessee and any claim for patent, trademark or
copyright infringement); or (ii) the condition of any Facility or Item sold or
disposed of after use by Lessee, or any sublessee, contractor, agent or employee
of Lessee. Lessee will, upon request, at its expense, defend any and all actions
based on, or arising out of, any of the foregoing. The foregoing indemnity shall
not apply to any Damages arising or resulting from any the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Lessor. This indemnification shall survive the expiration
or cancellation of the Lease or and Schedule hereto.

9. DEFAULT; REMEDIES:

     (a) Each of the following will constitute a default hereunder: (a) Lessee
fails to pay Rent or any other amount when due hereunder or under any Schedule,
and such failure has not been cured within fifteen (15) days after the
applicable due date for such payment; (b) Lessee fails to maintain the insurance
required hereunder, and such failure has not been cured within fifteen (15) days
after the first date of any lapse in coverage thereunder (provided, that
provision for such cure period shall in no way limit or impair any of Lessor's
rights against Lessee with respect to any Casualty Occurrence or similar
insurable event hereunder); (c) Lessee breaches any other term, provision,
obligation or covenant hereof (including, without limitation, any Schedule
hereto) or commits any other act of default specified in this Lease, and such
breach continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after written
notice thereof to Lessee by Lessor; (d) any representation or warranty of Lessee
contained herein or in any other document or instrument delivered in connection
herewith or made from time to time hereafter is false or misleading in any
material respect when made; (e) Lessee shall (i) be generally not paying its
debts as they become due; or (ii) take any action for purposes of invoking the
protection of any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or otherwise have any such law
invoked by any person against or with respect to Lessee on any material portion
of its property, and any such action taken or petition filed against Lessee or
its property is not vacated or dismissed within sixty (60) days; and (f) Lessee
shall have terminated its corporate existence or, except in accordance with
arrangements disclosed to Lessor in writing on or prior to the date of this
Lease, consolidated with, merged into, or conveyed or leased substantially all
of its assets to any person, unless such person has first executed and delivered
to Lessor an agreement or undertaking in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor, in Lessor's sole discretion, containing such person's
full and effective assumption of, and its agreement to pay, perform, comply with
and otherwise be liable for, in a due and punctual manner, any and all of
Lessee's obligations having previously arisen, or then or thereafter arising,
under or in connection with this Lease and any Schedules hereto.

     (b) During the continuance of any such default, Lessor, at its option, may
do any one or more of the following: (1) declare this Lease and any or all
Schedules in default upon notice to Lessee, whereupon the greater of (x) the
Stipulated Loss Values of all Facilities or (y) the entire amount of Rent and
all other amounts remaining to be paid over the balance of the term of all
Facilities and Items then leased thereunder, computed from the date of Lessee's
default, will become immediately due and payable and be accelerated; (2) proceed
by appropriate court action or actions to enforce Lessee's performance of this
Lease and/or to recover damages for the breach thereof; (3) cancel this Lease
and any or all Schedules upon notice to Lessee; (4) whether or not this Lease or
any Schedules be so cancelled, and without notice to Lessee, exercise any or all
of Lessor's rights against any or all of the Collateral (subject, in any event,
to any and all applicable terms of the License Agreement), including the
repossession and operation or sale of any Facilities or Items wherever found
(which may involve, without limitation,

                  MASTER LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT - EDS/NESTOR

                                       3

<Page>

the assumption by Lessor of all applicable contracts or arrangements of Lessee
with third-parties relating to the commercial operation and use of any or all
Facilities, the taking of possession, use and operation by Lessor of any or all
Facilities and Items and all Collateral rights and interests pledged by Lessee
hereunder with respect thereto, etc.), with or without legal process, and for
this purpose Lessor and/or its agents may enter upon any premises of or under
control or jurisdiction of Lessee or any agent of Lessee without liability for
suit, action or other proceeding by Lessee (any damages occasioned by such
repossession being hereby expressly waived by Lessee except for damages
occasioned by negligence or willful misconduct) and operate thereon or remove
therefrom (in Lessor's discretion) any and all relevant Facilities and Items.
Lessor's remedies as provided herein are not exclusive, but are cumulative and
in addition to all other remedies in Lessor's favor at law, in equity or in
bankruptcy. The receipt and acceptance by Lessor of any Rent or other payment
after a default will not be deemed to be a waiver of such default by Lessor.
Lessor shall not, by any act, delay, omission, or otherwise, be deemed to have
waived any default or any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver
be in writing, signed by Lessor, and then only to the extent therein set forth.
In the event that any court determines that any provision in this Lease is
invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such determination will not
prohibit Lessor from establishing its damages as a result of any breach of this
Lease in any action in which Lessor seeks to recover such damages. Any
repossession or resale of any Facility or Item will not bar an action for
damages for breach of this Lease, and the bringing of an action or the entry of
judgment against Lessee will not bar Lessor's right to repossess or operate any
or all Facilities or Items. Upon cancellation of any Schedule upon default and
upon written request by Lessor, Lessee will, at its sole cost and expense, cease
using the relevant Facility and Items and promptly return the Facility and all
Items to the control of Lessor when and in the manner specified by Lessor, in
the same condition as received, reasonable wear and tear and normal depreciation
excepted. Lessee shall pay on demand rent equal to a full monthly Rent for each
month or any day thereof during which Lessee fails to return any Facility (or
any Item, on a pro rata basis) as and when so directed by Lessor.

     (c) With respect to any Facility or Item returned to Lessor, or repossessed
by Lessor pursuant to provision (4) above, Lessor may hold or use such Facility
or Item for any purpose whatsoever or either sell the same at a private or
public sale, for cash or credit, or re-lease the same for such term and upon
such rental as will be solely determined by Lessor. Lessor may also in such
circumstances of continuing default continue to operate the relevant Facility,
as and to the extent Lessor may decide in its discretion to do so, and for this
purpose, Lessor may, subject to any and all applicable terms of the License
Agreement, (x) exercise against and utilize all items of Collateral as necessary
for Lessor's continued ownership and operation of the Facility for a period no
shorter than the then-remaining Term with respect thereto, and/or (y) exercise
the right of first refusal (without obligation) granted by Lessee pursuant to
Section 2 hereof with respect to the applicable Facility Contract(s). In the
event that Lessor (a) is able to sell or re-lease all or any Facility returned
to Lessor or (b) elects to use or operate any Facility and assume the applicable
Facility Contract(s) as referred to in the preceding sentence, then the proceeds
of any sale, re-leasing or use or operation of the applicable Facility, after
first deducting therefrom all costs and expenses of repossession, storage,
repairs, reconditioning, sale, re-leasing, use or operation of such Facility, as
well as any attorneys' fees and collection fees with respect thereto, shall be
deducted from the damages for which Lessee is obligated hereunder. In the event
of any such sale, re-leasing or use or operation by Lessor of any such
Facilities after default hereunder or in the event of a Casualty Occurrence
under Section 6 hereof, then Lessee will be liable for, and Lessor may forthwith
recover from Lessee as liquidated damages for breach or termination of this
Lease, and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the sum of the following (or the
applicable Stipulated Loss Value(s), if greater) (X) the entire amount of Rent
which would have accrued for the balance of the Term for such Facilities
computed from the date of Lessee's default or, in the case of a Casualty
Occurrence, computed as of the Rent payment date immediately preceding the date
of the Casualty Occurrence, discounted in each case as provided for in the
applicable Schedule(s), plus (Y) any final payment due under the Schedule, less
(Z) the proceeds, if any, of any sale, re-leasing or use or operation of such
Facilities, after first deducting therefrom all costs and expenses of
repossession, storage, repairs, reconditioning, sale, re-leasing, use or
operation of the applicable Facilities, as well as attorneys' fees and
collection fees with respect to such Facilities. If Lessee fails to deliver any
Facility or Item to Lessor, or Lessor is unable, for any reason, to effect
repossession of any Facility or Item, then with respect to the affected
Facility, Lessee will be liable for, and Lessor may forthwith recover from
Lessee as liquidated damages for breach or termination of this Lease, and not as
a penalty, an amount equal to the sum of the amounts specified in items (X) and
(Y) above for such Facility. Whether or not any Facility or Item is returned to,
or repossessed by Lessor as aforesaid, Lessee will also be liable for, and
Lessor may forthwith recover from Lessee, all unpaid Rent and other unpaid sums
that accrued prior to the date of Lessee's default. In addition to the
foregoing, Lessor may also recover from Lessee all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses, including without limitation fees of collection agencies and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Lessor in exercising any of its rights or
remedies hereunder. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor shall be entitled
to exercise any or all of the foregoing rights and remedies, as well as any
other rights and remedies available to Lessor at law or otherwise in respect of
Lessee's default hereunder, as and to such extent and in such manner as Lessor
shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, and that nothing contained
in this Lease or any Schedule hereto shall be deemed or construed as requiring
or prescribing any particular exercise of remedies or course of action by Lessor
in respect of any such default.

     (d) In the event that Lessor elects (in its discretion and without
obligation) to repossess and operate any Facility and to assume any applicable
Facility Contract(s) in the circumstances and in the manner contemplated by the
foregoing Section 9(c), Lessor shall, upon Lessor's receipt of total revenues
from operation of the Facility so repossessed and operated (net of any and all
costs and expenses of repossession, storage, repairs, reconditioning, sale,
re-leasing, use or operation of, or any attorneys' fees or collection fees
relating to, such Facility, in each case, as contemplated by Section 9(c)) in an
amount equal to the greater of the Stipulated Loss Value or the amount
determined by application of the liquidated damages provision in Section 9(c)
hereof with respect to such Facility, transfer to Lessee title to such Facility
upon Lessee's written request therefor, free and clear of any right or interest
of Lessor, as and to the extent provided in Section 4(h) hereof.

10. ASSIGNMENTS: LESSOR MAY WITHOUT LESSEE'S CONSENT ASSIGN OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFER OR GRANT A SECURITY INTEREST IN ITS RIGHT AND INTEREST IN ANY ITEM OR
SCHEDULE AND THE RENT DUE OR TO BECOME DUE THEREUNDER AND WHEN SO ASSIGNED,
TRANSFERRED OR ENCUMBERED, EACH SCHEDULE WILL BE FREE OF ANY COUNTERCLAIM,
SET-OFF, DEFENSE, OR CROSSCLAIM BY LESSEE AS AGAINST LESSOR OR SUCH ASSIGNEE
WHENEVER ARISING, BEFORE OR AFTER SUCH SALE, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER OR SECURITY
GRANT BUT NO SUCH ACTION WILL INCREASE LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, EXCEPT
THAT UPON NOTICE TO LESSEE THEREOF, LESSEE AGREES TO DIRECT ALL PAYMENTS
HEREUNDER, IF REQUESTED, TO LESSOR'S ASSIGNEE. Lessor may provide Lease
information on a confidential basis to any prospective purchaser, assignee or
participant.

11. PAYMENT OF TAXES: Lessee agrees to pay promptly when due, and to indemnify
and hold Lessor harmless from, all license, title and registration fees
whatsoever, all levies, imposts, duties, charges or withholdings whatsoever, and
all sales, use, personal property, franchise (howsoever calculated), and other
taxes whatsoever (together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon)
validly assessed, levied or imposed by any governmental or taxing authority
against or upon Lessor or otherwise, with respect to any Facility or Item or the
purchase, acquisition, ownership, delivery, leasing, possession, use, operation,
control, return or other disposition thereof, or the rents, receipts or earnings
arising therefrom, or with respect to this Lease, excluding, however, any
federal, state or local taxes levied on Lessor's net income. In the event any
such fees, levies, imposts, duties, charges or taxes are validly paid by Lessor,
or if Lessor is duly required to collect or pay any thereof, Lessee will
reimburse Lessor therefor (plus any penalties, fines or interest incurred
thereon) promptly upon demand. Until Lessor notifies Lessee to the contrary,
Lessee will promptly before any penalty attaches, prepare and file in Lessor's
name or on Lessor's behalf all personal property tax returns covering the
Facility or Item and Lessee will pay the personal property taxes levied or
assessed thereon directly to the levying authority. If Lessor timely notifies
Lessee that Lessor will prepare and/or file any such return, Lessee will,
promptly upon being invoiced by Lessor, reimburse Lessor for the full amount of
such personal property taxes so paid by Lessor. The indemnification obligations
of Lessee under this Section 11 will continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding the earlier expiration or other cancellation hereof or of any
Schedule hereto. Lessee will either provide Lessor a copy of all property and
other tax returns filed

                  MASTER LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT - EDS/NESTOR

                                       4

<Page>

hereunder by Lessee in Lessor's name or on Lessor's behalf or provide to Lessor
an affidavit of a responsible corporate officer certifying that the property
taxes so identified therein have been reported and are current. The amount which
Lessee shall be required to pay to Lessor with respect to any obligation which
is subject to indemnification under this Section 11 shall be an amount
sufficient to restore Lessor to the same position, after considering the effect
of the receipt of such indemnification on its United States federal income taxes
and state and city income taxes or franchise taxes based on net income, that it
would have been in had such indemnification not been required hereunder.

12. LESSOR'S PERFORMANCE OF LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS: In case of failure of Lessee
to comply with any provision of this Lease or any Schedule hereto, Lessor will
have the right, but will not be obligated, to effect such compliance in whole or
in part, and all money spent by and expenses of Lessor (except to the extent
constituting any Lessor's Cost component with respect to any Facility) will be
paid by Lessee forthwith and will bear interest at the daily equivalent of
twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date said obligation was due. Lessor's
action in effecting such compliance will not be a waiver of Lessee's default.
All such money spent by and expenses of Lessor and any other obligation assumed
or incurred by Lessor in effecting such compliance will constitute additional
rent payable to Lessor with the next Rent payment.

13. NOTICES: All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder will be in
writing and will be deemed given and received five (5) days after first
deposited in the United States mail if sent by registered or certified mail to
the address of Lessor or Lessee stated herein or in any Schedule or to such
other place as either party may in writing direct pursuant to this Section 13.
Notice by hand delivery shall be deemed given and received upon delivery. Notice
by overnight courier shall be deemed given and received on the date of delivery.

14. INFORMATION AND REPORTING:

     (a) Lessee will promptly furnish Lessor with such further information
regarding Lessee's business, condition, property, assets or operations,
financial otherwise, as Lessor may from time to time reasonably request, all
prepared in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.

     (b) Lessee will at all times maintain true and complete records and books
of account including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
appropriate reserves for possible losses and liabilities, all in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

     (c) Lessee shall permit, and cause any subsidiary or affiliate to permit,
representatives of Lessor to visit and inspect any of the properties of Lessee
or any subsidiary or affiliate, to examine its or their books and records
relating in any manner to Lessee's performance under this Lease or any Schedule
hereto or otherwise relating to Lessee's use, ownership or commercial operation
of any Facility or Item, to make extracts or copies of such books and records,
and to discuss such matters with its or their officers or partners, as
applicable. The foregoing may be done upon reasonable notice within regular
business hours.

     (d) Lessee will promptly notify Lessor in writing of the commencement of
any litigation to which Lessee or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates may be a
party (except for litigation in which Lessee's (or the affiliate's) contingent
liability is fully covered by insurance) which, if decided adversely to Lessee,
would adversely affect or impair the title of Lessor to any Facility or Item. In
addition, Lessee will immediately notify Lessor, in writing, of any judgment
against Lessee if such judgment would have the effect described in the preceding
sentence.

15. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS: Lessee agrees to execute or obtain and deliver to
Lessor at Lessor's request such additional documents as Lessor may reasonably
deem necessary to protect Lessor's interest in any Facility or Item and this
Lease including, without limitation, financing statements, and Lessee hereby
authorizes Lessor to execute in Lessee's name as Lessee's attorney-in-fact any
financing statements and amendments thereto necessary or appropriate to protect
Lessor's interest hereunder. Lessee will pay, or reimburse Lessor on demand, for
any filing fees or expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with any such
additional documents. Lessee will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain,
at Lessee's sole expense, (x) from each owner, landlord, mortgagee or other
person having an encumbrance, lien or other interest on or in the premises in
which any Facility or Item is or will be located, all necessary consents to the
installation and use of each Facility or Item therein and the removal thereof in
accordance with the terms of this Lease, together with waivers of claim with
respect to each Facility and Item, and record the same when and where necessary,
and (y) from all applicable persons having an interest therein, all necessary
agreements and consents to allow Lessor to exercise any and all remedies
hereunder (including, without limitation, Lessor's taking possession of any
Facility and all related Collateral items as necessary for Lessor's commercial
use and operation thereof, or Lessor's assumption of any third-party contracts,
in each case, as provided in Section 9 hereof) in respect of Lessee's default.
Lessee hereby designates Lessor its attorney-in-fact and authorizes and empowers
Lessor, during the continuance of any default set forth in Section 9 hereof, to
execute, endorse and complete in Lessee's name and on Lessee's behalf all
instruments representing the proceeds of any security or insurance for this
Lease or any Facility or Item hereunder.

16. MISCELLANEOUS: This Agreement (a) will be governed by the substantive laws
of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to any choice-of-law rules that
may require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction), (b) will be
binding on the parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and (c) may
not be changed or modified orally or through a course of dealing, but only by a
written amendment or revision signed by the parties.

     Any provision herein contained which may be illegal, unenforceable, or
inconsistent with applicable law or any governmental rule or regulation will be
deemed modified or altered to conform thereto, or otherwise omitted but shall in
no way impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining Lease provisions.
Any person who signs as an officer or agent for a corporation, partnership or
other entity warrants that he has authority from such corporation, partnership
or other entity to enter into this Lease on its behalf. Each Facility or Item
delivered pursuant to this Lease to a subsidiary of Lessee or to any entity or
person designated by Lessee, whether at the request of Lessee or such
subsidiary, entity or person shall be a "Facility" or "Item" for all purposes of
this Lease, and Lessee shall be and remain primarily liable for the obligations
under this Lease with respect to such Facility or Item. Lessor shall not be
obligated to purchase and deliver any Facility or Item unless Lessor has
executed a Schedule covering the relevant Facility or Item. Any dispute,
controversy or claim arising under, out of, in connection with or in relation to
this Lease or any Schedule, or the breach, termination, validity or
enforceability of any provision hereof or thereof (a "Dispute"), if not resolved
informally through negotiation between the parties, will be submitted to
non-binding mediation. The parties will mutually determine who the mediator will
be from a list of mediators obtained from the American Arbitration Association
office located in the city determined as set forth below in this Section 16 (the
"AAA"). If the parties are unable to agree on the mediator, the mediator will be
selected by the AAA. If any Dispute is not resolved through mediation, it will
be resolved by final and binding arbitration conducted in accordance with,
administered by, and subject to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA then
applicable. One arbitrator will be selected by the parties' mutual agreement or,
failing that, by the AAA, and the arbitrator will allow such discovery as is
appropriate, consistent with the purposes of arbitration in accomplishing fair,
speedy and cost effective resolution of disputes. Judgment upon the award
rendered in any such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. Any negotiation, mediation or arbitration conducted pursuant to this
Section 16 will take place in Delaware, and each party will bear its own costs
and expenses with respect to any such negotiation, mediation or arbitration,
including one-half of the fees and expenses of the mediator or arbitrator, if
applicable. Other than those matters (i) to compel arbitration, (ii) to enforce
the award of the arbitrators, or (iii) prior to the appointment and confirmation
of the arbitrators, for temporary, interim or provisional equitable remedies,
the parties agree that the provisions of this Section 16 are a complete defense
to any suit, action or other proceeding instituted in any court or before any
administrative tribunal with respect to any Dispute.

                  amount as computed by virtue of the provisio to the preceding
                  sentence), provided that there is no unsatisfied obligation of
                  Lessee in respect of the Facility under the Master Lease or

                  similar amounts by certified check. Upon Lessor's receipt of
                  such Title Payment, provided that there is no unsatisfied
                  obligation of Lessee in respect of the Facility under the
