THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT
AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"1933 ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR

THE 1933 ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. TRANSFER OF THIS WARRANT

                       WARRANT TO PURCHASE 480,513 SHARES
                             OF THE COMMON STOCK OF
                                  EGENERA, INC.

REGISTERED WARRANT NO. HSI-1

EFFECTIVE DATE: FEBRUARY 2, 2004

EXPIRATION DATE: FEBRUARY 2, 2011

      This certifies that HEIDRICK & STRUGGLES, INC. or its transferees or
assigns (each individually, the "HOLDER") for the agreed upon value of $1.00 and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, shall be entitled to purchase from EGENERA, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), having its principal place of business at
165 Forest Street, Marlboro, Massachusetts 01752, a maximum of 480,513 fully
paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock ("COMMON STOCK") for
cash at a price equal to $2.1622 per share (the "EXERCISE PRICE") at any time,
or from time to time, up to and including 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the
Expiration Date (or, if earlier, the termination of this Warrant pursuant to
Section 3.3 below), upon the surrender to the Company at its principal place of
business (or at such other location as the Company may advise the Holder in
writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed, a Form of Subscription in
substantially the form attached hereto duly filled in and signed and, as
applicable, upon payment in cash or by certified or bank check or wire transfer
of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares for which this Warrant
is being exercised determined in accordance with the provisions hereof, or the
surrender of the right to acquire the number of shares of Common Stock
determined in accordance with Section 1.2. The Exercise Price and the number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 3 of this Warrant.

      This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

      1.    EXERCISE; ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES; PAYMENT FOR SHARES.

            1.1   GENERAL. This Warrant is exercisable at the option of the
holder of record hereof at any time or from time, to time, up to the Expiration
Date for all or any part of the shares of Common Stock (but not for a fraction
of a share), which may be purchased hereunder. The Company agrees that the
shares of Common Stock purchased under this Warrant shall be and are deemed to
be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the
close of

<PAGE>

business on the date on which this Warrant, properly endorsed, the completed and
executed Form of Subscription and appropriate payment for such shares shall have
each been delivered to the Company at its principal place of business.
Certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased, together with any
other securities or property to which the Holder is entitled upon such exercise,
shall be delivered to the Holder by the Company at the Company's expense within
a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant have been so
exercised, and in any event, within five (5) business days of such exercise. In
case of a purchase of less than all the shares which may be purchased under this
Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants of like tenor for the balance of the shares purchasable
under the Warrant surrendered upon such purchase to the Holder hereof within a
reasonable time. Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such
denominations of Common Stock as may be requested by the Holder hereof and shall
be registered in the name designated by such Holder.

            1.2   NET ISSUE EXERCISE. Holder agrees that it cannot "net issue
exercise" this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this section, except
in connection with or following: (i) the Company's Initial Public Offering
(which is defined as meaning the effectiveness of the filing of the first
registration statement under the Securities Act that covers the firm
underwritten offer and sale of Common Stock by the Company to the public; and
"Securities Act" means the federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any
similar federal statute and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, all
as the same shall be in effect at any particular time) or (ii) an Acquisition
(as defined in Section 3.3 below) resulting in entitlement by the Holder to
acquire cash or publicly-traded securities upon exercise of this Warrant.
Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, but subject to the
restrictions in the preceding sentence, if the fair market value of one share of
the Company's Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of
calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash,
the Holder may elect a "Net Issue Exercise" pursuant to which it will receive
shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion
thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of
the Company together with the properly endorsed Form of Subscription and notice
of such election in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number
of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

                      Y (A-B)
                  X = -------
                         A

      Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder

                        Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
                        under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant
                        is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being
                        exercised (at the date of such exercise)

                        A = the fair market value of one share of the Company's
                        Common Stock (at the date of such exercise)

                                       2.
<PAGE>

                        B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such
                        exercise).

For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one share of
Common Stock shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good
faith; provided, however, that where there is a public market for the Company's
Common Stock, the fair market value per share shall be the average of the
closing prices of the Company's Common Stock quoted on the Nasdaq National
Market (or similar system) or on any exchange on which the Common Stock is
listed, whichever is applicable, over the five (5) trading day period ending on
the trading day immediately preceding the day the Warrant is being exercised.

      2.    SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company
covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon
the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
preemptive rights of any shareholder and free of all taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees
that, during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for
the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights
evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but
unissued Common Stock, or other securities and property, when and as required to
provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. The Company
will take all reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such shares
of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic securities
exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to effect a registration under Federal or State
securities laws with respect to such exercise. The Company will not take any
action which would result in any adjustment of the Exercise Price (as set forth
in Section 3 hereof) if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable
after such action upon exercise of all outstanding warrants, together with all
shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then
issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all convertible
securities and other equity purchase rights then outstanding, would exceed the
total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation (the "Company Charter").

      3.    ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. The Exercise
Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain
events described in this Section 3. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price,
the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by
the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such
adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting
from such adjustment.

            3.1   SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF STOCK. In case the Company shall
at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced,

                                       3.
<PAGE>

and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company
shall be combined into a smaller number of shares (by reverse stock split or
otherwise), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination
shall be proportionately increased.

            3.2   DIVIDENDS IN COMMON STOCK, OTHER STOCK, PROPERTY,
RECLASSIFICATION. If at any time or from time to time the Holders of Common
Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon
the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive,
without payment therefor,

                  (a)   Common Stock or any shares of stock or other securities
which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution,

                  (b)   any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash
dividend, or

                  (c)   Common Stock or additional stock or other securities or
property (including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification,
combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement, (other than shares of
Common Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall be
covered by the terms of Section 3.1 above),

then, and in each such case, the Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this
Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common
Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration
therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash
in the cases referred to in clause (b) above and this clause (c)) which such
Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had he been the holder of record
of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or
became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other
securities and property.

            3.3   ASSUMPTION ON SALE, MERGER, OR CONSOLIDATION OF THE COMPANY.

                  (a)   For the purpose of this Warrant, "Acquisition" means any
sale, assignment, transfer, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any acquisition,
reorganization, consolidation, or merger of the Company where the holders of the
Company's outstanding voting equity securities immediately prior to the
transaction beneficially own less than a majority of the outstanding equity
securities of the surviving or successor entity immediately following the
transaction.

                  (b)   The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure
that upon the closing of any Acquisition (other than an Acquisition in which the
consideration received by the Company's stockholders consists solely of cash),
the successor or surviving entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant,
and that the Warrant thereafter shall be exercisable through the Expiration Date
first set forth above for the same securities and property as would be payable
for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion
of the Warrant as if such shares were outstanding on the record date for the
Acquisition and subsequent closing, subject to further adjustment from time to
time in accordance with the provisions hereof. If, notwithstanding such Company
efforts, the acquiror in an Acquisition notifies the Company

                                       4.
<PAGE>

that it shall not so assume this Warrant, then the Company shall notify the
Holder thereof within a reasonable time prior to the closing of such Acquisition
and, to the extent the Warrant shall not have been exercised or converted at or
prior to such closing, the Warrant shall terminate and be of no further force or
effect.

            3.4   NOTICES OF CHANGE. Immediately upon any adjustment in the
number or class of shares subject to this Warrant and/or of the Exercise Price,
the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder, setting forth in
reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.

      4.    ISSUE TAX. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of
the Warrant for any issue tax (other than any applicable income taxes) in
respect thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the then
Holder of the Warrant being exercised.

      5.    CLOSING OF BOOKS. The Company will at no time close its transfer
books against the transfer of any warrant or of any shares of Common Stock
issued or issuable upon the exercise of any warrant in any manner which
interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant (except that the Company
shall be entitled to place appropriate stop-transfer orders with respect to
transfer of securities which are subject to restrictions on transfer due to
securities laws or other legal restrictions).

      6.    NO VOTING OR DIVIDEND RIGHTS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Nothing
contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder
hereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of
the Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of
the Company. No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of
this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable
hereunder until after, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been
exercised. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the
holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the
rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of
such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether
such liability is asserted by the Company or by its creditors.

      7.    WARRANTS TRANSFERABLE. Subject to compliance with applicable federal
and state securities laws and compliance with Section 10(c), this Warrant and
all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to
the holder hereof (except for transfer taxes), upon surrender of this Warrant
properly endorsed. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding
the same, consents and agrees that the Company, at the Company's option, may
treat the holder hereof registered on the books of the Company as the absolute
owner hereof for all purposes and as the person entitled to exercise the rights
represented by this Warrant notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. By its
acceptance of transfer of this Warrant, any transferee of this Warrant shall be
deemed to have made the representations and warranties set forth in Section 10
below.

                                       5.
<PAGE>

      8.    RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS SURVIVE EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The rights and
obligations of the Company, of the holder of this Warrant and of the holder of
shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant, shall survive the
exercise of this Warrant.

      9.    FURTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

                  (a)   DUE AUTHORITY. The execution and delivery by the Company
of this Warrant and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder,
including the issuance to Holder of the right to acquire the shares of Common
Stock, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part
of the Company, and the Warrant is not inconsistent with the Company Charter or
Bylaws and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with its terms.

                  (b)   CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. No consent or approval of,
giving of notice to, registration with, or taking of any other action in respect
of any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency is required with
respect to the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its
obligations under this Warrant, except for any filing required by applicable
federal and state securities laws, which filing will be effective by the time
required thereby.

                  (c)   EXEMPT TRANSACTION. Subject to the accuracy of the
Holders representations in Section 10 hereof, the issuance of the Common Stock
upon exercise of this Warrant will constitute a transaction exempt from the
registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 ACT"), in reliance upon Section 4(2) thereof.

      10.   REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE HOLDER.

      This Warrant has been entered into by the Company in reliance upon the
following representations and covenants of the Holder, as of the date hereof, as
of the date of any transfer or assignment hereof, and as of the date of any
exercise of this Warrant:

                  (a)   INVESTMENT PURPOSE. The Warrant and the Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrant will be acquired for investment and not
with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Holder has
no present intention of selling or engaging in any public distribution of the
same except pursuant to a registration or exemption pursuant to the 1933 Act.

                  (b)   PRIVATE ISSUE. The Holder understands (i) that the
Warrant and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is not
registered under the 1933 Act or qualified under applicable state securities
laws on the ground that the issuance contemplated by this Warrant will be exempt
from the registration and qualifications requirements thereof pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws, and (ii)
that the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the
representations set forth in this Section 10.

                                       6.
<PAGE>

                  (c)   DISPOSITION OF HOLDERS RIGHTS. In no event will the
Holder make a disposition of the Warrant or the Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant unless and until (i) it shall have notified the Company
of the proposed disposition, and (ii) if requested by the Company, it shall have
furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel (which counsel may either be
inside or outside counsel to the Holder) satisfactory to the Company and its
counsel to the effect that (A) appropriate action necessary for compliance with
the 1933 Act has been taken, or (B) an exemption from the registration
requirements of the 1933 Act is available and (iii) the recipient of such
Warrant or Common Stock is able to make the representations and warranties in
Section 10 of this Warrant as of the date of such disposition. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the restrictions imposed upon the transferability of any of its
rights to acquire Common Stock or Common Stock issuable on the exercise of such
rights shall terminate as to any particular share of Common Stock when (1) such
security shall have been effectively registered under the 1933 Act and sold by
the holder thereof in accordance with such registration or (2) a letter shall
have been issued to the Holder at its request by the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or a ruling shall have been issued to the Holder at its
request by such Commission stating that no action shall be recommended by such
staff or taken by such Commission, as the case may be, if such security is
transferred without registration under the 1933 Act in accordance with the
conditions set forth in such letter or ruling and such letter or ruling
specifies that no subsequent restrictions on transfer are required. In addition
to the foregoing, prior to the Company's Initial Public Offering, Holder shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Company, transfer the Warrant (or
any part hereof), any Common Stock issuable or issued upon exercise of the
Warrant, or any securities issued or issuable upon conversion of the Common
Stock, to any person who directly competes with the Company, unless such
transfer is in connection with an acquisition of the Company by any such person.

                  (d)   FINANCIAL RISK. The Holder has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of its investment, and has the ability to bear the economic
risks of its investment.

                  (e)   RISK OF NO REGISTRATION. The Holder understands that if
the Company does not register with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Section 12 of the 1933 Act, or file reports pursuant to Section
15(d), of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 ACT"), or if a
registration statement covering the securities under the 1933 Act is not in
effect when it desires to sell (i) the Warrant, or (ii) any Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, it may be required to hold such
securities for an indefinite period. The Holder also understands that any sale
of the Warrant or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant which
might be made by it in reliance upon Rule 144 under the 1933 Act may be made
only in accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule.

                  (f)   ACCREDITED INVESTOR. Holder is an "ACCREDITED INVESTOR"
within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the 1933 Act, as presently
in effect.

      11.   LOCKUP. If so requested in writing by the underwriters for the
Initial Public Offering of securities of the Company, each holder of this
Warrant or any securities of the Company issued or issuable in connection with
the exercise of this Warrant hereby agree that such holders shall not sell or
transfer any such securities (other than securities being registered in

                                       7.
<PAGE>

such offering), without the consent of such underwriters, for a period of not
more than 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement
relating to such offering.

      12.   RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. Except as otherwise expressly provided below,
this Warrant and each successor or replacement Warrant shall bear the legend set
forth above, and each certificate representing the securities issued upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend
substantially in the following form (and any other legend required by state
securities or corporate law):

      "The securities represented by this certificate have not been
      registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable state
      securities laws. These securities have been acquired for
      investment and not with a view to distribution or resale, and may
      not be sold, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
      transferred without an effective registration statement for such
      securities under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state
      securities laws, or the availability of an exemption from the
      registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and
      applicable state securities laws. Transfer of these securities is
      subject to the terms of a Warrant effective February 2, 2004 under
      which these securities were acquired."

Whenever the restrictions referred to in the legend shall terminate, as provided
in Section 10(c), the Holder or holder of a share of Common Stock then
outstanding as to which such restrictions have terminated shall be entitled to
receive from the Company, without expense to such holder, one or more new
certificates for the Warrant or for such shares of Common Stock not bearing such
restrictive legend.

      13.   MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. This Warrant and any provision hereof may
be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.

      14.   NOTICES. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted
to be given or delivered to the holder hereof or the Company shall be delivered
or shall be sent by an established overnight service provider (e.g., Federal
Express), or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to each such holder
at its address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at the
address indicated therefor in the first paragraph of this Warrant or such other
address as either may from time to time provide to the other in accordance with
this Section.

      15.   BINDING EFFECT ON SUCCESSORS. This Warrant shall be binding upon any
corporation succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets. All of the obligations of the
Company relating to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall survive the exercise and termination of this Warrant. All of the covenants
and agreements of the Company shall inure to the benefit of the successors and
assigns of the holder hereof.

      16.   DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS AND GOVERNING LAW. The description headings of
the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience
only and do not

                                       8.
<PAGE>

constitute a part of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced
in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws
of the Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.

      17.   LOST WARRANTS. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder
hereof that upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of
any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will
make and deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

      18.   FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon
exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional
share, pay the holder entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to such
fraction multiplied by the then effective Exercise Price.

                                       9.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be duly

Services Agreement"

2.    ORDERING, PRICING AND PAYMENT

      All Orders shall reference this GPA and are subject to acceptance by
Egenera. Upon acceptance by Egenera, orders may be cancelled by Customer without
penalty more than 15 days prior to Customer's requested ship date. Orders
cancelled within 15 days of Customer's requested ship date will be subject to a
restocking charge equaling 10% of the purchase price of Product ordered;
however, the restocking charge would not apply to the first two cancellations
during any calendar year. The terms and conditions of this GPA shall apply to
each order accepted or shipped by Egenera hereunder. Any terms or conditions
appearing on the face or reverse side of any purchase order, acknowledgment, or
confirmation that are different from or in addition to those required hereunder
shall not be binding on the parties, even if signed and returned, unless both
parties hereto expressly agree in a separate writing to be bound by such
separate or additional terms and conditions. Customer shall pay Egenera the
price stated on an accepted Order and when applicable pay or reimburse Egenera
for all related taxes or withholdings, except for those based on Egenera's net

defense, counterclaim, or deferment for any reason whatsoever. Upon thirty (30)
days written notice, Egenera reserves the right to cancel or suspend any orders
placed by Customer and accepted by Egenera, or refuse or delay shipment thereof,
if Customer fails to make any payment as provided herein or in any invoice or
otherwise to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3.    DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE

      Title of Equipment and the media for Egenera Software and risk of loss for
Equipment, media and embedded Egenera Software shall transfer to Customer upon
Egenera's delivery to Customer at Customer's location unless otherwise indicated
in the Order. Customer shall pay all shipment related charges. If Customer
clearly advises Egenera in writing, only then may Egenera make partial shipments
of Customer's orders, to be separately invoiced and paid for when due. Delay in
delivery of any installment shall not relieve Customer of its obligation to
accept the remaining deliveries. Egenera shall use reasonable efforts to meet
Customer's requested delivery schedules for the Products. Should orders for
Products exceed Egenera's available inventory, Egenera will allocate its
available inventory and make deliveries on a basis Egenera deems equitable, in
its sole discretion, and without liability to Customer on account of the method
of allocation chosen or its implementation.

      Acceptance of Equipment that Egenera is paid to install occurs upon
successful completion of Egenera's standard installation procedures that
demonstrate conformance to the applicable Egenera-published specifications.
There are no Acceptance criteria for any Product for which the Customer has
delayed Egenera's installation beyond ten (10) business days beyond what was
originally scheduled. All installation must be done pursuant to Customer
security requirements. Customer will be deemed to have accepted products not
installed by Egenera unless Egenera is otherwise notified by Customer within
fifteen (15) business days of receipt as indicated by bill of lading sign-off.

4.    STANDARD WARRANTY

      Equipment and Egenera Software. Egenera warrants that Equipment and
Egenera Software will, commencing on initial attempt at installation by either
Egenera or Customer and continuing until one year after completion of
installation by Customer or Egenera, perform in accordance with the applicable
Egenera-published specifications. Equipment upgrades are warranted from receipt
until the end of the original warranty period of the related Equipment.

      This warranty does not apply to problems that arise from (i) accident or
abuse, (ii) interoperation with other non-Egenera products not on Egenera's
interoperability matrix, (iii) improper installation or modification by other
than Egenera (or a third party approved by Egenera), or (iv) use in an
environment or in a manner or for a purpose for which a Product was not
designed.

      Customer should provide remote access to each system purchased, such
access will be granted once Egenera signs Customers' Vendor Access Agreement. A
modem connection or IP address, login and password are required to establish
access. Failure to provide a modem or IP connection may impact response and
resolution time. In the event the Customer has not provided modem access or an
IP address and an Egenera Support Engineer is required on site due to inability
to remotely access the system, Time and Material charges will be incurred for
the on-site service.

      Egenera does not warrant that the operation of Egenera Software will be
uninterrupted or error free, or that all defects can be corrected. Egenera does
not warrant any Third Party

                                       3
<PAGE>

Material (except for approved compatible products as specified in Section 5(i))
and will identify such Third Party Materials to Customer as Exhibit A, as
amended from time to time pursuant to Section 9.

      Any replacement Equipment parts will be, whenever possible, new or will be
comparable in function and performance to the original part Equipment. In either
case, replacement Equipment parts will be warranted for the remainder of the
original warranty period, or for 90 days, whichever is greater. All replaced
Product or portions thereof shall be returned to and become the property of
Egenera. Any replaced Product or portions thereof not received by Egenera on or
about twenty (20) business days following Customer's receipt of notice by
Egenera will be invoiced to the Customer. Whenever possible, Egenera will use
new (but may use reconditioned) parts made by various manufacturers in
performing Equipment warranty repairs and building replacement products. Egenera
is responsible for shipping and insurance charges on replacement parts shipped
to and from Customer.

      Egenera provides post-warranty support services for Equipment and Egenera
Software at an additional charge on separate terms and conditions, which are
attached hereto as Addendum 1, and incorporated by reference. This support
covers new releases of Egenera Software and post-warranty equipment and software
repair and error correction. If such separate support is not purchased, Egenera
has no obligations to repair or correct errors reported after the end of the
warranty period. If the Standard Warranty has lapsed and post-warranty support
services have not been purchased, Egenera will only provide and charge for
support services on a per-event basis.

      Egenera warrants that the Products shall conform in all material respects
to their specifications and documentation and that Egenera has all rights,
authorizations and licenses to provide the Products to Customer (it being
understood certain Third Party Material listed on Addendum 1 is licensed
directly from the suppliers thereof, as set forth below).

      Egenera warrants that each of its employees, agents or representatives
assigned to perform hereunder shall have the proper skill, training and
background so as to be able to perform in a competent and professional manner
and that all work will be so performed in a manner compatible with Customer's
business operations at its premises.

      Egenera represents and warrants that the Egenera Software does not, and
any modifications or enhancements made by Egenera will not, contain any
"time-bombs", "usage protection codes," or other codes or programming devices
that might or might be used to access, modify, delete, damage, deactive or
disable the Products or other software, computer hardware or data of Customer.
Egenera further represents and warrants that it will use its best efforts to
prevent the Egenera Software from being infected with and any Egenera-modified
or Egenera-enhanced versions of the Egenera Software prepared by or at the
direction of Egenera from being infected with any "worms", "viruses", "Trojan
horses", "protect codes", "data destruct keys" or other programs or programming
devices that might or might be used to access, modify, delete, damage,
deactivate or disable the Products or other software, computer hardware or data
of Customer. Egenera represents and warrants that it is not aware of any
security problems that may exist in the Products that it has not disclosed to
Customer, and that during the warranty period and/or during any periods Customer
is paying Egenera to provide support Egenera shall

                                       4
<PAGE>

immediately notify Customer upon its awareness of any problems, defects,
weaknesses, vulnerabilities, bugs or programming devices that give rise to
security related concerns affecting the computer systems of Customer.

      Remedies. In the event of a breach of above warranty, Egenera, at its
option shall: (1) provide replacement parts and service necessary to repair the
Equipment, and use reasonable efforts to modify the Software to make it conform
to its warranty, (2) replace the Equipment with comparable Equipment and/or
replace any Software with comparable Software or (3) refund the amount paid by
Customer for the affected Product in exchange for the return of the Product. The
limitations below under "Limitations of Liability" shall further limit Egenera's
obligation.

      Limitations and Exclusions. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5(i), EGENERA
MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD
PARTY MATERIALS. AS BETWEEN EGENERA AND CLIENT, ANY AND ALL THIRD-PARTY
MATERIALS ARE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED "AS IS."

      EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED UNDER "WARRANTY" ABOVE, EGENERA PROVIDES
PRODUCTS AND SERVICE "AS IS" AND MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR
ORAL, AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING BY STATUTE, OPERATION OF LAW, COURSE OF
DEALING OR PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.

5.    EGENERA SOFTWARE

      (a)   Ownership. The Egenera Software is owned and copyrighted by Egenera
or its third party suppliers. Customer's license confers no title or ownership
in the Egenera Software and is not a sale of any rights in the Egenera Software.
All ownership rights remain in Egenera or its third party suppliers, as the case
may be.

      (b)   Modifications. Customer's rights to modify Third Party Software
(including Open Source Software) is as set forth in the applicable license
agreement. Customer may not modify the Egenera Software; however, Customer may
request that Egenera modify the Egenera Software, Open Source Software, or any
Third Party Software which Egenera has the right to modify in a specified manner
(a "Customer Requested Modification"). Upon receipt of a request for a Customer
Requested Modification, Egenera shall, conditional upon the request being
reasonable from the perspective of technical feasibility, and feasibility of
ramping company resources, either (i) notify Customer that Egenera intends to
make such Customer Requested Modification as part of its internal development
plans for the next release of its software (in which case Egenera will support
such Customer Requested Modifications as part of its normal support process),
(ii) notify Customer that Egenera does not intend to make such Customer
Requested Modification as part of its internal development plans at all, in
which case, at the request of Customer, Egenera will create such Customer
Requested Modifications to be owned by Customer under a Professional Services
Agreement, which agreement will specify price, specifications, future support
obligations, and other material terms of the project, or (iii) notify Customer
that Egenera does not intend to make such Customer Requested

                                       5
<PAGE>

Modification as part of its internal development plans in the near term, in
which case, at the request of Customer, Egenera will create such Customer
Requested Modifications under a Professional Services Agreement, which agreement
will specify price, ownership, specifications, future support obligations, and
other material terms of the project. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, (A)
modifications to Third Party Software are owned as set forth in the agreement
with the third party supplier under which Egenera modifies such software, but to
the extent Egenera is granted the right to specify ownership, Customer shall own
all such modifications paid for by Customer and (B) Customer shall own all
modifications to Open Source Software paid for by Customer, it being understood
that any such modifications shall be subject to the appropriate open source
license agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict Egenera
from modifying any Egenera Software, Third Party Software or Open Source
Software for future customers in a manner which is similar to the modifications
made by Egenera for Customer, so long as Egenera does so without inclusion of
Customer-owned materials or Customer-supplied confidential materials.

      (c)   Copies. Customer may make reasonable numbers of copies of the object
code of the Egenera Software solely for backup or archival purposes or when
copying is an essential step in the authorized use of the Egenera Software. All
copyright and other proprietary or restricted rights notices in the original
Egenera Software must be retained on all copies.

      (d)   Additional Restrictions. Except to the extent permitted above,
Customer may not: translate, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble,
or create derivative works based on the Egenera Software; copy of the Egenera
Software other than as specified above; rent, lease, grant a security interest
in, or otherwise transfer rights to the Egenera Software except as set forth in
"Transfer" below; modify, disable, attempt to circumvent, or otherwise interfere
with any License Enforcement Mechanisms or remove any proprietary notices or
labels on the Egenera Software; or disclose or otherwise make available Egenera
Software in any form to anyone other than Customer's employees, consultants or
independent contractors. If Customer is using the Egenera Software in any
country in the European Community, the prohibition against modifying,
translating, reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling or creating
derivative works based on the Egenera Software does not affect Customer's rights
under any legislation implementing the E.C. Council Directive on the Legal
Protection of Computer Programs.

      (e)   Transfer. Customer may transfer the license to the Egenera Software
only upon sale or other transfer (including a transfer to an Affiliate of
Goldman, Sachs & Co.) of the Equipment for which it was supplied, and the
Egenera Software may not be separated for use on other computers or equipment.
In the case of the sale or other transfer of the Equipment, Customer must
deliver the original and all complete, partial or electronically stored copies
of the Egenera Software to the transferee. Customer may not retain any copies of
the Egenera Software, and any copies that have been made which are not
transferred to the transferee must be destroyed. The transferee must accept
these licensing terms as a condition of the transfer. Customer's license will
automatically terminate upon any transfer of the software. Notwithstanding the
above, it is specifically agreed that Customer shall not be required to delete
all copies of the Software from backup or disaster recovery storage facilities,
provided that such undeleted copies shall not be used in any manner (it being
understood that recreation of computing environments or other review of
materials in connection with audits or government

                                       6
<PAGE>

investigations shall not be considered a use in violation of this clause).
Customer has no right to sublicense, loan, rent or lease the Egenera Software.
Customer may receive the Egenera Software in more than one medium, for example
CD-ROM or by Internet. Egenera Software supplied as an upgrade may be used only
in accordance with this GPA.

      (f)   Responsibility for Personnel. Customer shall be fully responsible to
Egenera for the compliance of Customer's employees, consultants or independent
contractors who are given access to the Egenera Software.

      (g)   License Termination. Egenera or Customer may terminate this license,
without liability, if Egenera or Customer breaches this GPA and fails to cure
within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof. Customer may
terminate this Agreement for convenience at any time, but any such termination
shall not relieve Customer of any liability incurred prior to termination
(including without limitation, payment due with respect to Orders which are not
cancelable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). Upon termination,
Customer shall cease all use and if requested, will return or certify
destruction of Egenera Software (including copies) to Egenera. Notwithstanding
the above, it is specifically agreed that Customer shall not be required to
delete all copies of the Software from backup or disaster recovery storage
facilities, provided that such undeleted copies shall not be used or operated in
any manner.

      (h)   Third Party Materials. Egenera may provide to Customer certain
software that is specifically labeled as being provided by and/or owned other
than by Egenera ("Third Party Materials") in connection with the Equipment. It
is acknowledged by Customer that when specified Customer shall be licensing such
Third-Party Materials directly from the third party, including the right to use
such Third Party Materials in connection with the Equipment. Certain Third Party
Materials supplied by Egenera are Open Source Materials, and as such are
governed by open-source software license agreements supplied with such Open
Source Materials, such as the GNU Public License. Egenera makes no claim of
ownership of Open Source Materials, and such Open Source Materials are supplied
solely in accordance with the license agreements accompanying such software.
Accordingly, the restrictions under "EGENERA SOFTWARE" concerning modification,
confidentiality and other provisions do not apply to such Open Source Materials.
However, the provisions under "STANDARD WARRANTY - Limitations and Exclusions"
and "LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY" do apply to all Third Party Materials.

      (i)   Customer Requested Third Party Materials. Customer may request that
Egenera products interoperate with, or being installed with or used in
connection with Third Party Materials not supplied by Egenera
("Customer-Requested Third Party Materials"). Egenera will promptly acknowledge
receipt of the request, and respond within fifteen (15) calendar days either (A)
acknowledging such materials are or will be compatible with the Egenera product,
in which case Egenera will assume responsibility under its maintenance and
warranty obligations to ensure compatible functionality (it being understood
Egenera does not take responsibility for the functionality of the third party
materials); or (B) notifying Customer such materials are not known to be
compatible with the Egenera products, in which case Egenera will consider
Customer-funded development work to effect such compatibility under the
provisions of Section 5(b)(ii) or 5(b)(iii) (but otherwise Egenera does not
assume responsibility for compatible functionality).

                                       7

6.    INDEMNITY

      Egenera shall defend Customer, its subsidiaries, affiliates or assignees,
and their partners, directors, officers, employees and agents against any third
party claim that a Product infringes any copyright, trade secret, or patent and
pay the resulting costs and damages awarded against Customer by a court of
competent jurisdiction, provided Customer (i) notifies Egenera promptly in
writing of such claim, provided that any delay does not materially adversely
affect Egenera and (ii) reasonably cooperates in response to an Egenera request
for assistance at Egenera's cost. Customer, at its own expense shall assist in
such defense if it so chooses provided that Egenera shall control such defense
and all negotiations related to the settlement of such claims.

      Should any Product become, or in Egenera's opinion be likely to become,
the subject of such a claim, Egenera shall, at its option and expense, (a)
procure for Customer the right to make continued use thereof, (b) replace or
modify such so that it becomes non-infringing, or (c) request return and upon
receipt thereof refund the price paid by Customer, less straight-line
depreciation based on a five (5) year useful life.

      Egenera shall have no liability with respect to patents if the hardware
portion of the Products are physically installed outside of the U.S., Canada,
the U.K., Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany or France or other
country where Customer does business (unless Egenera notifies Customer of a
potential intellectual property concern in such country), except to the extent
such liability would have been incurred had such Product been installed in any
of such locations; use for a purpose or in a manner for which the Product was
not designed; use of any older version of the Egenera Software when use of a
newer Egenera revision made available to Customer would have avoided the
infringement and Customer had notice that the revision was to avoid
infringement; any modification made without Egenera's written approval; any
modifications made by Egenera pursuant to Customer's specific instructions as
long as such instructions as provided by Customer caused the infringement; any
intellectual property right owned or licensed by Customer; or Third Party
Materials in their form prior to any modifications made by Egenera. Further,
Egenera shall be liable with respect to combinations of Egenera and non-Egenera
Products only if (i) the non-Egenera Product, not in such combination, does not
infringe and (ii) the infringement arises from particular characteristics of the
Egenera product, i.e. non-Egenera product with equivalent functionality was
substituted for the Egenera Product do not infringe.

7.    LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

      EXCEPT AS PROVIDED OTHERWISE UNDER SECTION 6 "INDEMNITY" AND IN SECTION 10
CONFIDENTIALITY, EGENERA'S TOTAL LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIM OF ANY TYPE WHATSOEVER, ARISING OUT OF A PRODUCT OR SERVICE
PROVIDED HEREUNDER, SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT DAMAGES CAUSED BY EGENERA'S
NEGLIGENCE IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED THE PRICE PAID BY CUSTOMER TO EGENERA FOR
THE SPECIFIC SERVICE OR PRODUCT FROM WHICH SUCH CLAIM ARISES.

                                       8
<PAGE>

      EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS BASED UPON SECTION 10 CONFIDENTIALITY, NEITHER PARTY
SHALL HAVE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY,
INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS,
REVENUES, DATA AND/OR USE), EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF. The
foregoing limitation shall not limit Egenera's obligation to pay, under Section
6, damages awarded against Customer (regardless of whether such damages are
denominated as direct, indirect, consequential, or other); however, apart from
such obligation to fully indemnify. Egenera shall have no obligation to pay
special, consequential, exemplary, incidental, or indirect damages (including,
but not limited to, loss of profit, revenues, data and/or use), even if advised
of the possibility thereof, that Customer incurred directly related to the claim
of infringement. The foregoing limitation shall not limit either party's
remedies in the event of a violation of such party's intellectual property
rights. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY TO ALL CAUSES OF ACTION UNDER OR RELATING
TO THIS GPA, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM BY OR AGAINST ANY SUBSIDIARY, STOCKHOLDER, OR
AFFILIATE, OR OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF ANY OF THEM.

8.    FORCE MAJEURE

      If either party is prevented from performing any portion of this GPA
(except the payment of money) by causes beyond its control, including labor
disputes, civil commotion, war, governmental regulations or controls, casualty,
inability to obtain materials or services or acts of God, such defaulting party
will be excused from performance for the period of the delay and for a
reasonable time thereafter.

9.    APPLICABILITY AND EXCLUSION OF ALTERNATIVE TERMS

      The Agreement (and the agreements relating to Third Party Software on
Exhibit A) contains the exclusive set of terms applicable to the Product
(including future versions of the Product) and related services, notwithstanding
any other set of terms (i) that may be embedded in or displayed by the Product
before, during or after installation or operation of the Product (ii) to which
the Product may refer, (iii) that may accompany or be packaged with the Product,
or (iv) that may be presented at any time to Customer personnel or agents
orally, online, electronically or in writing unless said writing has been
accepted by an authorized Customer representative upon legal review (the
foregoing, collectively, "Other Terms"), whether or not any Customer's personnel
or agent assents to the Other Terms online, electronically or otherwise at any
time other than a document that has received legal review and approval. Such
Other Terms shall be voided with respect to Customer. Egenera may add additional
Third Party Software by notice to Customer, which additional materials shall be
considered an amendment to Exhibit A. In the event where Customer has an
independent Agreement with a Third Party Software supplier nothing contained
herein shall alter such terms.

10.   CONFIDENTIALITY

      (a)   Egenera acknowledges that it or its employees may, in the course of
performing its responsibilities under this Agreement, be exposed to or acquire
information which is proprietary to or confidential to Customer or its
affiliated companies or their clients or to third

                                       9
<PAGE>

parties to whom Customer owes a duty of confidentiality. Any and all non-public
information of any form obtained by Egenera or its employees in the performance
of this Agreement shall be deemed to be confidential and proprietary
information. Egenera agrees to hold such information in strict confidence and
not to copy, reproduce, sell, assign, license, market, transfer or otherwise
dispose of, give or disclose such information to third parties or to use such
information for any purposes whatsoever other than the provision of services to
Customer as contemplated by this Agreement and to advise each of its employees
who may be exposed to such proprietary and confidential information of their
obligations to keep such information confidential.

      (b)   Confidential information shall not include information which is (i)
in or becomes part of the public domain other than by disclosure by Egenera in
violation of this Agreement, (ii) demonstrably known to Egenera previously,
(iii) independently developed by Egenera outside of this Agreement or (iv)
rightfully obtained by Egenera from third parties.

      (c)   It is understood and agreed that in the event of a breach of this
Section 10, damages may not be an adequate remedy and Customer shall be entitled
to injunctive relief to restrain any such breach, threatened or actual.

      (d)   This provision shall survive termination of the Agreement.

11.   SOURCE CODE ESCROW

      Goldman Sachs shall be entitled to receive a fully commented and
documented copy of the current source code of the Program and may use the same
for its own benefit if (i) Licensor ceases doing business, or (ii) Licensor
becomes insolvent or party to any bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or
makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors. Licensor shall also place in
escrow a fully commented and documented copy of the source code form of the
Program and Keep said copy updated. The agreement for which such arrangement
shall provide for independent verification of deposits and release to Goldman
Sachs upon the occurrence of (i) or (ii) above.

12.   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AS TO AFFILIATES

      Egenera hereby acknowledges and agrees that direct damages sustained
hereunder by any Affiliate(s) shall not be consequential damages vis a vis
Customer and therefore such direct damages shall not be subject to any provision
in the Agreement precluding or limiting Engenera's liability for, or Customers'
recovery of, consequential damages.

13.   CHOICE OF LAW

      This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State
of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law, and any
litigation arising out of or connected in any way with this Agreement shall take
place in a State or Federal court of competent jurisdiction in New York, County,
State of New York. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE UNIFORM COMPUTER TRANSACTIONS ACT
OR ANY VERSION THEREOF, ADOPTED BY ANY STATE, IN ANY FORM ("UCITA"), SHALL NOT
APPLY TO THE AGREEMENT INCLUDING ANY APPLICABLE PRODUCT ADDENDA. TO THE

                                       10
<PAGE>

made on June 26, 2002 (the "Effective Date").

SCOPE: This Addendum contains additional terms and conditions for support
services offered with the Enterprise I and II Programs. In the event of any
ambiguity or conflict between this Addendum and the GPA or between this Addendum

bug fixes and patches since the most recent release.

Capitalized terms in this Addendum shall have the meanings defined in the GPA
unless specifically defined in this Addendum.

2.    TERM OF SERVICE

The Enterprise II Program commences upon completion of installation by Customer
or Egenera of the related Product. The Enterprise II Program has a term of two
years. Enterprise I provides all the features of Enterprise II for one (1) year
instead of two (2).

If the Standard Warranty has lapsed, Egenera will provide and charge for support
services on a per-event basis. The Customer may purchase additional warranty
service at Egenera's then-current rates, upon inspection and re-certification by
Egenera. A fee may be charged for recertification.

Unless terminated by Customer as set forth below, the Enterprise II Program may
renew on a biannual basis and the Enterprise I Program may renew on an annual
basis. The term of service for any additions and/or upgrades to
already-purchased Egenera Software is coterminous. Any replacement Equipment
parts will be, whenever possible, new or will be comparable in function and
performance to the original part or Equipment. In either case, replacement
Equipment parts will be warranted for the remainder of the original term of

Except for as expressly set forth herein, Customer shall be solely responsible
to monitor, maintain, and administer the Product and Egenera Software.

6.    EXCLUSIONS

for approved compatible products as specified in Section 5(i) of the GPA), (iii)
improper installation or modification by other than Egenera or a third party
approved by Egenera, (iv) use in an environment or in a manner or for a purpose
for which a Product was not designed, or (v) failure to implement all previously
supplied updates to Product and/or Egenera Software.

7.    WARRANTY

Egenera agrees to perform Services in a workmanlike manner. If, after the later
of (i) the end of the Standard Warranty or (ii) the end of any paid term of
service, Services performed by Egenera prove not to have been so performed or if
Egenera fails to provide the Services or a portion thereof, and if Customer

its option, either (i) correct any defects and deficiencies or (ii) render a
full or pro-rated refund or credit based on the original charge for the
Services.

      will work with Customer to adjust the modifications to meet Egenera's
      certification requirements.

      SOFTWARE UPDATES

      During either the warranty period or the support term, Egenera Customers
      receive online access to Egenera Software updates via a secure,
