NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 -- THE COMPANY AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
3Dfx Interactive Inc. (the "Company" or "3Dfx") was incorporated in
California on August 24, 1994. The Company is engaged in the design, development
and marketing of 3D media processors specifically designed for interactive
electronic entertainment applications.
The unaudited condensed financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information or footnote disclosure normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with the generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial
information included therein. While the Company believes that the disclosures
are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these
financial statements be read in conjuction with the audited financial statements
and accompanying notes included in the Company's Prospectus dated June 25, 1997
filed as part of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-25365), as
amended. The results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Four customers represented 38%, 16%, 14% and 13% and four customers
represented 47%, 10%, 10% and 10% of the Company's revenue during the second
quarter and first half of 1997, respectively.
NOTE 3 -- INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING:
In June 1997, the Company completed its initial public offering and issued
3,000,000 shares of its common stock to the public at a price of $11.00 per
share. The Company received cash of approximately $30.4 million, net of
underwriting discounts and commissions. Upon the closing of initial public
offering, all outstanding shares of the Company's then outstanding Convertible
Preferred Stock were automatically converted into shares of common stock. On
July 25, 1997, the Company's underwriters exercised an option to purchase an
additional 450,000 shares of common stock at a price of $11.00 per share to
cover over-allotments. The Company received cash of approximately $4.6 million,
net of underwriting discounts and commissions.
NOTE 4 -- DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT:
In March 1997, the Company entered into a development and license agreement with
Sega Enterprises, Ltd., under which the Company is entitled to receive
development contract revenues and royalties based upon a cumulative volume of
units sold by Sega which included the Company's product. In July 1997, the
Company learned from Sega that Sega will not use the Company's product in Sega's
next generation home game console (See Note 8). Development contract revenues of
$1,067,000 were recognized under the percentage of completion method of
accounting based on costs incurred relative to total contract costs and $750,000
was recognized for the delivery of certain engineering designs ($1,067,000 and
$1,817,000 of development contract revenue was recognized in the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively). The revenue recognized is
non-refundable and the Company has no further obligations to Sega with regard to
these amounts. The Company has an unbilled development contract receivable of
$267,000 as of June 30, 1997. The Company incurred $650,000 and $725,000 of
costs relating to this contract in the three and six months ended June 30, 1997,
respectively, which are included in research and development. The Company did
not earn any royalty revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. No
further revenues are expected under the Sega Agreement.

NOTE 5 -- SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
Warrants
In June 1997, TSMC exercised their warrant to purchase 87,510 shares of the
Company's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $4.40 per
share. The aggregate proceeds to the Company were approximately $385,000. Upon
the closing of the initial public offering (See Note 3), all of the outstanding
shares of the Company's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, including the
shares issued to TSMC upon exercise of the warrant, was converted into shares of
common stock.
NOTE 6 -- NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:
Net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods. Common equivalent
shares consist of Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants (using the "if
converted" method) and stock options (using the "treasury stock" method). Common
equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is
anti-dilutive, except that, pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission
Staff Accounting Bulletin, Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants (using the
"if converted" method) and stock options (using the "treasury stock" method at
the initial public offering price) issued subsequent to April 1996 have been
included in the computation as if they were outstanding for all periods
presented.
NOTE 7 -- NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (unaudited)
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Under SFAS 128,
the Company will be required to disclose basic earnings per share and diluted
per share for all periods for which an income statement is presented, which will
replace the disclosure currently presented for primary earnings per share and
fully-diluted earnings per share. SFAS 128 requires adoption for fiscal periods
ending after December 15, 1997. Pro forma disclosure of basic (loss) per share
and diluted (loss) per share for the current reporting and comparable period in
the prior year is as follows:

NOTE 8 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
In July 1997, the Company was notified by Sega that Sega was terminating
the Sega Agreement (See Note 4). The Company believes that the decision by Sega
may constitute a breach of the Sega Agreement and is evaluating its options,
including legal recourse. Although the ultimate outcome of this matter is not
presently determinable, the Company believes that the resolution of this matter
will not have material adverse impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

and uncertainties are set forth below under "Factors Affecting Future Operating
Results".
OVERVIEW
The Company was founded in August 1994 to design, develop, market and
support 3D media processors, subsystems and API software for the interactive
electronic entertainment market. The Company had no operations during the period
from inception (August 24, 1994) through December 31, 1994. The Company was
considered a development stage enterprise and was primarily engaged in product
development and product testing until its first commercial product shipments in
the third quarter of 1996. The Company has incurred losses since inception and
as of June 30, 1997 had an accumulated deficit of $22.7 million. These net
losses were attributable to the lack of substantial revenue and continuing
significant costs incurred in the research and development of the Company's 3D
media processor products and product testing. The Company expects to incur
additional net losses at least in the near term as it continues to incur
substantial research and development and sales and marketing expenses to
commercialize its products. There can be no assurance that significant revenues
or profitability will ever be achieved or, if they are achieved, that they can
be sustained or increased on a quarterly or annual basis in the future
8
<PAGE> 9
The Company derives revenue from the sale of 3D media processors and
subsystems designed for use in PCs, home game consoles and coin-op arcade
systems. The Company began commercial shipments of its first 3D graphics
product, the Voodoo Graphics chipset, in September 1996. The Company's second
product, the Voodoo Rush chipset began commercial shipments in April 1997. The
Company has also commenced development of Banshee, which is intended to be a
high performance, full-featured single chip 3D/2D media processor for the PC and
coin-op arcade markets. Historically, the Company has also marketed and sold
limited quantities of its Obsidian products, a line of Voodoo Graphics-based 3D
processor boards. The Company currently intends to sell the Obsidian product on
an opportunistic basis in the future. As a result of the Company's limited
operating history and early stage of development, it has only a limited number
of customers. Four customers represented 38%, 16%, 14% and 13% and four
customers represented 47%, 10%, 10% and 10% of the Company's revenue during the
second quarter and first half of 1997, respectively. The Company expects that a
small number of customers will continue to account for a substantial portion of
its total revenues for the foreseeable future.
In March 1997, the Company and Sega Enterprises, Ltd. ("Sega") entered into
a Technology Development and License Agreement (the "Sega Agreement") pursuant
to which the Company began developing a 3D media processor chipset for Sega's
next generation home game console. During the six months ended June 30, 1997,
the Company recognized development contract revenues of $1.8 million under the
Sega Agreement representing 15% of total revenues during that period. In July
1997, the Company learned from Sega that Sega will not use the Company's chipset
for the next generation Sega home game console. The Company believes that the
decision by Sega may constitute a breach of the Sega Agreement and is evaluating
its options, including legal recourse. No future revenues are expected under the
Sega Agreement.
As part of its manufacturing strategy, the Company leverages the expertise
of third party suppliers in the areas of wafer fabrication, assembly, quality
control and assurance, reliability and testing. This strategy allows the Company
to devote its resources to research and development and sales and marketing
activities while avoiding the significant costs and risks associated with owning
and operating a wafer fabrication facility and related operations. The Company
does not manufacture the semiconductor wafers used for its products and does not
own or operate a wafer fabrication facility. All of the Company's semiconductor
products are currently manufactured by TSMC in Taiwan. The Company obtains
manufacturing services from TSMC on a purchase order basis. The Company provides
TSMC with a rolling six month forecast of its supply needs and TSMC builds to
the Company's forecast. The Company purchases wafers and die from TSMC. Once
production yield for a particular product stabilizes, the Company pays an agreed
price for wafers meeting certain acceptance criteria pursuant to a "good die"
only pricing structure for that particular product. Until production yield for a
particular product stabilizes, however, the Company must pay an agreed price for
wafers regardless of yield. Such wafer and die purchases constitute a
substantial portion of cost of products revenues once products are sold. TSMC is
responsible for procurement of raw materials used in the production of the
Company's products. The Company believes that raw materials required are readily
available.
In connection with the grant of stock options to employees since inception
(August 1994), the Company recorded aggregate deferred compensation of
approximately $1.9 million, representing the difference between the deemed fair
value of the Common Stock for accounting purposes and the option exercise price
at the date of grant. This amount is presented as a reduction of shareholders'
equity and is amortized ratably over the vesting period of the applicable
options. These valuations resulted in charges to operations of $121,000 (of
which $48,000 and $73,000 were recorded in research and development expenses and
selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively) and $242,000 (of
which $96,000 and $146,000 were recorded in research and development expenses
and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively) in the three and
six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, and will result in charges over
the next 14 quarters aggregating approximately $121,000 per quarter (of which
$48,000 and $73,000 will be recorded in research and development expenses and
selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively).

<PAGE> 10
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
Revenues. Revenues from product sales are recognized upon product shipment.
Revenue resulting from development contracts is recognized by the Company under
the percentage of completion method of accounting based upon costs incurred
relative to total contract costs. The Company's total revenues were $6.5 million
in the three months ended June 30, 1997. No revenues were generated in the three
months ended June 30, 1996.
Product revenues were $5.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 1997.
Product revenues in the three months ended June 30, 1997 were principally
attributable to sales of the Company's Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo Rush chipsets.
Development contract revenues of approximately $1.1 million were recognized
in the three months ended June 30, 1997 under the percentage of completion
method of accounting based on costs incurred relative to total contract costs.
The revenue represents certain design work performed under the Sega Agreement.
The Company does not expect any further revenues under the Sega Agreement. See
"Overview".
Gross Profit. Gross profit consists of total revenues less cost of product
revenues. Cost of product revenues consists primarily of costs associated with
the purchase of components, the procurement of semiconductors and printed
circuit board assemblies from the Company's contract manufacturers, labor and
overhead associated with such procurement and warehousing, shipping and warranty
costs. Cost of product revenues does not include expenses related to development
contract revenues. Gross profit was $3.2 million in the three months ended June
30, 1997. Cost of product revenues was $3.3 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1997. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues was 50% in the
three months ended June 30, 1997. However, given the Company's limited operating
history and limited history of product shipments, the Company believes that
analysis of gross profit as a percentage of total revenues is not meaningful.
The Company's future gross profit will be affected by the overall level of
sales; the mix of products sold in a period; the mix of revenues between product
revenues, and licensing revenues in a period; manufacturing yields; and the
Company's ability to reduce product procurement costs.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist
primarily of compensation and other expenses related to research and development
personnel, occupancy costs of research and development facilities, depreciation
of capital equipment used in product development and engineering costs paid to
the Company's foundries in connection with manufacturing start-up of new
products. In addition, costs associated with development contracts are included
in research and development. Research and development expenses decreased 16%
from $2.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $2.4 million in the
three months ended June 30, 1997. Research and development expenses in the three
months ended June 30, 1997 include costs associated with development contract
revenues of approximately $650,000. The decrease reflects a decrease in
non-recurring engineering costs resulting from the commencement of manufacturing
of the Voodoo Rush chipset, which is based upon existing technology. The Company
expects to continue to make substantial investments in research and development
and anticipates that research and development expenses will increase in absolute
dollars in future periods, although such expenses as a percentage of total
revenues will fluctuate.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses include compensation and benefits for sales, marketing, finance and
administration personnel, commissions paid to independent sales representatives,
tradeshow, advertising and other promotional expenses and facilities expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 65 % from $1.5 million in
the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $2.5 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1997. The increase resulted from the addition of personnel in sales,
marketing, finance and administration as the Company expanded operations,
increased commission expenses associated with the commencement of commercial
sales and increased involvement in tradeshow and advertising activities. The
Company expects that selling, general
10
<PAGE> 11
and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars in future periods,
although such expenses as a percentage of total revenues will fluctuate.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net. Interest and other income
(expense), net decreased from net interest and other income of $3,000 in the
three months ended June 30, 1996 to net interest and other expense of $64,000 in
the three months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease is related to higher interest
expense as a result of higher outstanding equipment line of credit and capital
lease balances, partially offset by interest income earned on average cash
balances.
Provision For Income Taxes. The Company recorded no provision for income
taxes in the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1997 as it incurred losses
during such periods.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
Revenues. The Company's total revenues were $11.7 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1997. In 1996, the Company was still in the development stage and
did not generate any revenues.
Product revenues were $9.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Substantially all of the product revenues in the period were derived from sale
of the Company's Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo Rush chipsets and, to a lesser
extent, sale of Obsidian graphics subsystems. Development contract revenues of
$1.8 million were recognized in the six months ended June 30, 1997. The
development contract revenue recognized in the period represents $1.1 million
recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting based on
costs incurred relative to total contract costs and $750,000 representing a
non-refundable amount due for the delivery of certain engineering designs to
Sega. There were no development contract revenues in 1996.
Gross Profit. Gross profit and cost of product revenues were $5.9 million
and $5.9 million, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 1997. Gross
profit as a percentage of total revenues was 50% in the six months ended June
30, 1997. However, given the Company's limited operating history and limited
history of product shipments, the Company believes that analysis of gross profit
as a percentage of total revenues is not meaningful. The Company's future gross
profit will be affected by the overall level of sales; the mix of products sold
in a period; the mix of revenues between product revenues, and licensing
revenues in a period; manufacturing yields; and the Company's ability to reduce
product procurement costs.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased 4%
from $4.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $4.4 million in the
six months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease reflects a decrease in
non-recurring engineering costs resulting from the commencement of manufacturing
of the Voodoo Rush chipset, which is based upon existing technology. Research
and development expenses in the six months ended June 30, 1997 include costs
associated with development contract revenues of approximately $725,000. The
market for the Company's products is characterized by frequent new product
introductions and rapidly changing technology and industry standards. As a
result, the Company's success will depend to a substantial degree upon its
ability to rapidly develop and introduce new products and enhancements to
existing products that meet changing customer requirements and emerging industry
standards. The Company expects to continue to make substantial investments in
research and development and anticipates that research and development expenses
will increase in absolute dollars in future periods, although such expenses as a
percentage of total revenues will fluctuate.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 71% from $2.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996
to $4.4 million in 1997. The increase primarily relates to increased finance and
administration staffing and related costs necessary to support higher levels of
operations, established sales and marketing operations to support the
commencement of commercial product shipments, incurred commission expenses
associated with product sales and increased participation in tradeshow and
advertising activities. The Company expects that selling, general and
administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars in future periods,
although such expenses as a percentage of total revenues will fluctuate.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net. Interest and other income
(expense), net decreased from $38,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1996 to
net interest and other expense of $91,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1997.
The decrease is related to higher levels of interest expense as a result of
higher outstanding capital lease balances partially offset by interest income
earned on average cash balances.
Provision for Income Taxes. The Company recorded no provision for income
taxes in the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1997 as it incurred losses
during such periods.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through
private placements of equity securities yielding approximately $29.4 million and
most recently through an initial public offering in June 1997 yielding
approximately $33 million, gross of underwriting fees and expenses. As of June
30, 1997, the Company had approximately $958,000 of equipment line financing in
place. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $32.7 million in cash
and cash equivalents.
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $6.0 million and
$2.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net cash used in operating
activities was due primarily to the net loss of $7.0 million and a decrease in
inventory of approximately $617,000, partially offset by increases in accounts
payable of $1.6 million. Net cash used in operating activities in the six months
ended June 30, 1997 was due primarily to the net loss of $2.9 million, a $3.8
million and $1.2 million increase in accounts receivable and other assets,
respectively, which was partially offset by a $2.9 million and $1.8 million
increase in inventory and accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1.1 million and
$1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997,
respectively, and was due, in each period, to the purchase of property and
equipment. The Company does not have any significant capital spending or
purchase commitments other than normal purchase commitments and commitments
under leases. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had capital equipment of $6.2
million less accumulated depreciation of $2.1 million to support its research
and development and administrative activities. The Company has financed
approximately $1.9 million from capital lease obligations through June 30, 1997.
The Company has an equipment line of credit, which provided initially for the
purchase of up to $2.0 million of property and equipment, of which approximately
$1.7 million had been utilized as of June 30, 1997. No remaining borrowing
capacity is available under this equipment line of credit. Borrowings under this
line are secured by all of the Company's owned assets and bear interest at the
bank's prime rate plus 1.50% per annum (8.5% as of June 30, 1997). The agreement
requires that the Company maintain certain financial ratios and levels of
tangible net worth profitability and liquidity. The Company was in compliance
with its covenants as of June 30, 1997. The lease line of credit expires in
August 1998. The Company expects capital expenditures to increase over the next
several years as it expands facilities and acquires equipment to support the
planned expansion of its operations.
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $11.3 million
and $31.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively,
due primarily to proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Stock in the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and the initial public offering in the six months ended June
30, 1997.
The Company has a line of credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, which
provides for maximum borrowings in an amount up to the lesser of 75% of eligible
accounts receivable plus 100% of cash and cash equivalents or $4.0 million.
Borrowings under the line are secured by all of the Company's owned assets and
bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1.50% per annum. The agreement
requires that the Company maintain certain financial ratios and levels of
tangible net worth, profitability and liquidity. The Company is
12
<PAGE> 13
in compliance with its covenants as of June 30, 1997. The line of credit expires
in August 1997. At June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997, there were no borrowings
outstanding under this line of credit, respectively.
The Company's future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon
numerous factors, including the costs and timing of expansion of research and
product development efforts and the success of these development efforts, the
costs and timing of expansion of sales and marketing activities, the extent to
which the Company's existing and new products gain market acceptance, competing
technological and market developments, the costs involved in maintaining and
enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, and available
borrowings under line of credit arrangements and other factors. The Company
believes that the Company's current cash balances and cash generated from
operations and from available or future debt financing will be sufficient to
meet the Company's operating and capital requirements through December 1998.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not require additional
financing within this time frame. The Company's forecast of the period of time
through which its financial resources will be adequate to support its operations
is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual
results could vary. The factors described earlier in this paragraph will impact
the Company's future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available
funds. The Company may be required to raise additional funds through public or
private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements. There can be
no assurance that such additional funding, if needed, will be available on terms
attractive to the Company, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity
financing may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may
involve restrictive covenants. Strategic arrangements, if necessary to raise
additional funds, may require the Company to relinquish its rights to certain of
its technologies or products. The failure of the Company to raise capital when
needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.
FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
Limited Operating History; Anticipation of Continued Losses. The Company has
a limited operating history, has been engaged primarily in research and product
development with only limited revenues to date and has incurred net losses in
every quarter. The Company was a development stage company until its first
commercial product shipments in the third quarter of 1996. The Company's limited
operating history makes the assessment of future operating results difficult.
The Company incurred net losses of approximately $5.0 million, $14.8 million and
$2.9 million in 1995, 1996 and for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $22.7 million at June 30, 1997.
These net losses were attributable to the lack of substantial revenue and
continuing significant costs incurred in the research, development and testing
of the Company's products. The Company expects to incur additional net losses at
least in the near term as it continues to incur substantial research and
development and sales and marketing expenses to commercialize its products. If
significant revenues or profitability are ever be achieved, they may not be
sustained or increased on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.
Potential Fluctuations in Quarterly Results. The Company believes that
quarterly and annual results of operations will be affected by a variety of
factors that could materially adversely affect revenues, gross profit and income
from operations. These factors include, among others, demand and market
acceptance for the Company's products; changes in the relative volume of sales
of the Company's various products; changes in the relative volume of sales to
the Company's various direct and indirect customers; unanticipated delays or
problems in the introduction or performance of the Company's next generation of
products; unanticipated delays or problems experienced by the Company's product
development partners; market acceptance of the products of the Company's
customers; new product announcements or product introductions by the Company's
competitors; the Company's ability to introduce new products in accordance with
OEM design requirements and design cycles; changes in the timing of product
orders due to unexpected delays in the introduction of products of the Company's
customers or due to the life cycles of such customers' products ending earlier
than anticipated; expenditures in connection with enforcing contractual and
other rights; fluctuations in manufacturing capacity; competitive pressures
resulting in lower average selling prices; the volume of orders that are
received and can be fulfilled in a quarter; the rescheduling or cancellation of
customer orders; supply constraints for the other components incorporated into
its customers' products; the unanticipated loss of any strategic relationship;
seasonal fluctuations
13
<PAGE> 14
associated with the tendency of PC sales to increase in the second half of each
calendar year; the level of expenditures for research and development and sales,
general and administrative functions of the Company; costs associated with
protecting the Company's intellectual property; and foreign exchange rate
fluctuations. Any one or more of these factors could result in the Company
failing to achieve its expectations as to future revenues. Because most
operating expenses are relatively fixed in the short term, the Company may be
unable to adjust spending sufficiently in a timely manner to compensate for any
unexpected sales shortfall, which could materially adversely affect quarterly
results of operations. Accordingly, the Company believes that period-to-period
comparisons of its results of operations should not be relied upon as an
indication of future performance. In addition, the results of any quarterly
period are not indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year.
Finally, the Company's results of operations in any given quarter may be below
the expectations of public market analysts or investors, in which case the
market price of the Common Stock could be materially adversely affected.
Competition. The Company's strategy of targeting the interactive electronic
entertainment market across multiple platforms requires the Company to compete
in several market segments, all of which are intensely competitive. The Company
expects competition to increase in the future from existing competitors and from
new market entrants with products that may be less costly than the Company's 3D
media processors or provide better performance or additional features not
currently provided by the Company. Regardless of the quality of the Company's
products, the market power, product breadth and customer relationships of its
larger competitors, including Intel and Microsoft, can be expected to provide
such competitors with substantial competitive advantages. Many of the Company's
current and potential competitors have substantially greater financial,
technical, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and other resources, greater
name recognition and market presence, longer operating histories, lower cost
structures and larger customer bases than the Company. As a result, they may be
able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in
customer requirements. In addition, certain of the Company's principal
competitors offer a single vendor solution, since they maintain their own
semiconductor foundries and may therefore benefit from certain capacity, cost
and technical advantages. The Company's ability to compete successfully in the
rapidly evolving market for 3D interactive electronic entertainment will depend
upon certain factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control, including,
but not limited to, success in designing and subcontracting the manufacture of
new products; implementing new technologies; access to adequate sources of raw
materials and foundry capacity; the price, quality and timing of new product
introductions by the Company and its competitors; the emergence of new
multimedia and PC standards; the ability of the Company to protect its
intellectual property; market acceptance of the Company's 3D solution and API;
success of the competitors' products; and industry and general economic
conditions. In addition to competition from companies in the entertainment
segments of the PC market, the Company faces potential competition from
companies that have focused on the high-end of the 3D market for PCs and the
production of 3D systems targeted for the professional engineering market. These
companies are developing lower cost versions of their 3D technology to bring
workstation-like 3D graphics to mainstream applications and may enter the
interactive electronics entertainment market.
Dependence on Emerging 3D Interactive Electronic Entertainment Market.
The market for 3D interactive electronic entertainment for use in PCs, home game
consoles and coin-op arcade systems has only recently begun to emerge. The
Company's ability to achieve sustained revenue growth and profitability in the
future will depend to a large extent upon the demand for 3D multimedia
functionality in PCs, home game consoles and coin-op arcade systems. There can
be no assurance that the market for 3D interactive electronic entertainment will
continue to develop or grow at a rate sufficient to support the Company's
business. If the market for 3D interactive electronic entertainment fails to
develop, or develops more slowly than expected, or if the Company's products do
not achieve market acceptance, even if such market does develop, the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially
adversely affected. Demand for the Company's products is also dependent upon the
widespread development of 3D interactive electronic entertainment applications
by independent software vendors ("ISVs"), the success of the Company's customers
in effectively implementing the Company's technology and developing a market for
the Company's products and the willingness of end users to pay for full function
3D capabilities in PCs, home game consoles and coin-op arcade systems.
14
<PAGE> 15
Dependence on the PC Market. For 1996 and the six months ended June 30,
1997, the Company derived 82% and 79%, respectively, of its revenues from
products sold for use in PCs. The Company expects to continue to derive a
significant portion of revenues from the sale of its products for use in PCs.
The PC market is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry
standards, frequent new product introductions and significant price competition,
resulting in short product life cycles and regular reductions of average selling
prices over the life of a specific product. A reduction in sales of PCs, or a
reduction in the growth rate of such sales, would likely reduce demand for the
Company's products. Moreover, such changes in demand could be large and sudden.
Any reduction in the demand for PCs generally, or for a particular product that
incorporates the Company's 3D media processors, could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company's ability to compete in the future will depend on its ability to
identify and ensure compliance with evolving industry standards. Failure to
predict changes in industry standards, may require the Company to invest
significant time and resources to redesign the Company's products to ensure
compliance with relevant standards. If the Company's products are not in
compliance with prevailing industry standards for a significant period of time,
the Company could miss opportunities for design wins.
In July 1997, the Company learned from Sega that Sega will not use the
Company's chipset for the next generation Sega home game console. As a result,
the Company currently has no arrangements for developing, marketing and selling
a product for the home game console market. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to find a strategic partner that will to produce a home
game console incorporating a chipset developed by the Company. The failure to
access the home game console market may limit the Company's ability to diversify
its product offerings and may have the effect of increasing the Company's
dependency on the PC market.
Acceptance of the Company's 3D/2D Solution for the PC Market;
Dependence on Development of a Single Chip Solution. The Company's success
depends upon market acceptance of its 3D media processor products as a broadly
accepted standard for high performance 3D interactive electronic entertainment
in PC applications. Currently, the majority of multimedia PCs incorporate only
2D graphics acceleration technology. As a result, the majority of entertainment
titles currently available for play on PCs are written for 2D acceleration
technology. Because of the substantial installed base of 2D acceleration
technology and related game content, the Company believes that for its 3D media
processor products to gain wide market acceptance, such products must also offer
2D performance comparable or superior to existing 2D technology. To address this
demand, the Company developed a 3D/2D chipset branded as Voodoo Rush that began
commercial shipement in April 1997. Voodoo Rush may not offer significant
price/performance benefits or meet the technical or other requirements of buyers
to realize market acceptance.
The Company's 3D media processors for use in PC applications are currently
designed as a two or three chip solution. Typically, as the functionality of a
given semiconductor becomes technologically stable and widely accepted by users,
the cost of providing the functionality is reduced by means of large scale
integration of such functionality onto a single semiconductor chip. The Company
expects that such integration onto a single chip will occur with respect to the
functionality provided by the Company's current products used in PC
applications. Therefore, the Company's success will be largely dependent on its
ability to develop products on a timely basis that integrate the Company's 3D
technology along with superior performance 2D technology. The Company is
currently developing Banshee, a proprietary 3D/2D single chip solution which the
Company expects will be available for commercial shipment in the first quarter
of 1998. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully complete
such development on a timely basis or, if such development is completed, that
the resulting single chip 3D/2D solution will perform the desired functions,
offer sufficient price/performance benefits or meet the technical or other
requirements of potential buyers to realize market acceptance. Furthermore, most
PC OEMs have a lengthy evaluation process, and, in order for the Company's
single chip product to be designed into the OEM's system, the Company must
complete the development of its product to meet the deadline for the start of
the OEM's evaluation cycle. If the Company is unable to complete the timely
development of, and successfully manufacture and deliver, a single chip 3D/2D
solution, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations
would be materially adversely affected. If successfully introduced, there can be
no assurance that the Company's single chip 3D/2D solution will achieve market
acceptance. Any competitive,
<PAGE> 16
technological or other factor adversely affecting the introduction or sales of
the Company's single chip 3D/2D solution for PC applications would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. Even if the Company's single chip 3D/2D solution is
successfully introduced and does gain initial market acceptance, competitors are
likely to introduce products with comparable price and performance
characteristics. This competition may reduce future market acceptance for the
Company's product and result in decreasing sales and lower gross margins.
Dependence on Third Party Developers and Publishers. The Company
depends on third party software developers and publishers to create, produce and
market a sufficient number of high quality, commercially successful software
titles that will operate with the Company's 3D media processor products. Only a
limited number of software developers are capable of creating high quality
entertainment software and competition for these resources is intense.
Consequently, the Company may not be able to attract the number and quality of
software developers and publishers necessary to develop and publish a sufficient
number of high quality, commercially successful software titles compatible with
the Company's 3D media processor products. Further, the development and
marketing of game titles that do not fully demonstrate the technical
capabilities of the Company's products could create the impression that the
Company's technology offers only marginal, if any, performance improvements over
competing 3D media processors.
Dependence on New Product Development; Rapid Technological Change. The
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations will depend to
a significant extent on its ability to successfully develop new products for the
3D interactive electronic entertainment market. As a result, the Company
believes that significant expenditures for research and development will
continue to be required in the future. The success of new product introductions
is dependent on several factors, including proper new product definition, timely
completion and introduction of new product designs, the ability of the Company's
manufacturers to effectively design and implement the manufacture of new
products, quality of new products, differentiation of new products from those of
the Company's competitors and market acceptance of the Company's and its
customers' products. The failure of the Company to successfully develop and
introduce new products and achieve market acceptance for such products would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations. As the markets for the Company's products continue to
develop and competition increases, the Company anticipates that product life
cycles will shorten and average selling prices will decline. In particular,
average selling prices and, in some cases, gross margin for each of the
Company's products will decline as such products mature. Thus, the Company will
need to introduce new products to maintain average selling prices and gross
margins.
Because of the complexity of its technology, the Company has experienced
delays from time to time in completing development and introduction of new
products. In the event that there are delays in the completion of development of
future products, the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations would be materially adversely affected. The time required for
competitors to develop and introduce competing products may be shorter and
manufacturing yields may be better than those experienced by the Company.
Customer Concentration. Because of the Company's limited operating history
and early stage of development, it has a limited number of customers and the
Company's sales are highly concentrated. Revenues derived from sales to Orchid,
Diamond and Williams accounted for 44%, 33% and 11%, respectively, of product
revenues for 1996. All such sales were made pursuant to purchase orders.
Revenues derived from sales to Orchid, Diamond and Williams accounted for 10%,
47% and 10%, respectively, of product revenues for the six months ended June 30,
1997. Development contract revenues recognized under the Sega Agreement
represented 15% of total revenues during the six months ended June 30, 1997; no
further revenues are expected under the Sega Agreement. The Company expects that
a small number of customers will continue to account for a substantial portion
of its revenues for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely
affected by the decision of a single customer to cease using the Company's
products or by a decline in the number of PCs or coin-op arcade systems sold by
a single customer or by a small number of customers.
16
<PAGE> 17
Adoption of Glide. The Company's success will be substantially affected
by the adoption by software developers of Glide, its proprietary, low-level 3D
application programming interface ("API"). Although the Company's products
support game titles developed for most industry standard APIs, the Company
believes that Glide currently allows developers to fully exploit the technical
capabilities of the Company's 3D media processor products. Glide competes with
APIs developed or to be developed by other companies having significantly
greater financial resources, marketing power, name recognition and experience
than the Company. For example, certain industry standard APIs, such as Direct3D
("D3D") developed by Microsoft and OpenGL developed by SGI, have a much larger
installed customer base and a much larger base of existing software titles.
Intel has entered into an agreement with the Company to license an early
version of Glide. Intel also has an option to license future versions of Glide
on terms no less favorable than licenses of Glide to other third party graphics
hardware manufacturers. Intel has not implemented Glide nor has it announced any
intention to do so. However, because of Intel's significant market penetration,
marketing power and financial resources, if Intel were to implement this early
version of Glide as a standard development tool for current or future Intel 3D
chipsets, it could substantially reduce or even eliminate any competitive
advantages that the Company's products may have.
Dependence on Independent Manufacturers and Other Third Parties;
Absence of Manufacturing Capacity; Manufacturing Risks. The Company does not
manufacture the semiconductor wafers used for its products and does not own or
operate a wafer fabrication facility. All of the Company's products require
wafers manufactured with state-of-the-art fabrication equipment and techniques.
The Company currently obtains all of its manufacturing services from TSMC in
Taiwan on a purchase order basis. Because the lead time needed to establish a
strategic relationship with a new manufacturing partner could be several months,
there is no readily available alternative source of supply for any specific
product. A manufacturing disruption experienced by TSMC or the reallocation of
capacity by TSMC to other uses could adversely affect the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. Although the Company's products
are designed using TSMC's process design rules, TSMC may not be able to achieve
or maintain acceptable yields or deliver sufficient quantities of wafers on a
timely basis or at an acceptable cost. Additionally, there can be no assurance
that TSMC will continue to devote resources to the production of the Company's
products or continue to advance the process design technologies on which the
manufacturing of the Company's products are based. Any such difficulties would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations.
There are many other risks associated with the Company's dependence upon
third party manufacturers, including: reduced control over delivery schedules,
quality assurance, manufacturing yields and cost; the potential lack of adequate
capacity during periods of excess demand; limited warranties on wafers supplied
to the Company; and potential misappropriation of the Company's intellectual
property.
The Company's products are assembled and tested on a purchase order basis by
a third party subcontractor, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering Group ("ASE").
As a result of its reliance on ASE to assemble and test its products, the
Company cannot directly control product delivery schedules, which could lead to
product shortages or quality assurance problems that could increase the costs of
manufacturing or assembly of the Company's products. Due to the amount of time
normally required to qualify assembly and test subcontractors, product shipments
could be delayed significantly if the Company is required to find alternative
subcontractors. Any problems associated with the delivery, quality or cost of
the assembly and test of the Company's products could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Manufacturing Yields. The fabrication of semiconductors is a complex and
precise process. Minute levels of contaminants in the manufacturing environment,
defects in masks used to print circuits on a wafer, difficulties in the
fabrication process or other factors can cause a substantial percentage of
wafers to be rejected or a significant number of die on each wafer to be
nonfunctional. Many of these problems are difficult to diagnose and time
consuming or expensive to remedy. As a result, until production yield for a
17
<PAGE> 18
particular product stabilizes, the Company must pay an agreed price for wafers
regardless of yield. Accordingly, in this circumstance, the Company bears the
risk of final yield of good die. Poor yields would materially adversely affect
the Company's revenues, gross profit and results of operations.
Since low yields may result from either design or process technology
failures, yield problems may not be effectively determined or resolved until
well into the production process. As the Company's relationships with TSMC and
any additional manufacturing partners develop, yields could be adversely
affected due to difficulties associated with adapting the Company's technology
and product design to the proprietary process technology and design rules of
each manufacturer. Because of the Company's potentially limited access to wafer
fabrication capacity from its manufacturers, any decrease in manufacturing
yields could result in an increase in the Company's per unit costs and force the
Company to allocate its available product supply among its customers, thus
potentially adversely impacting customer relationships as well as revenues and
gross profit. The inability of the Company to achieve planned yields from its
manufacturers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the Company also
faces the risk of product recalls resulting from design or manufacturing defects
which are not discovered during the manufacturing and testing process.
Management of Growth. The ability of the Company to successfully offer
services and products and implement its business plan in a rapidly evolving
market requires an effective planning and management process. The Company's
rapid growth has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a significant
strain on the Company's managerial, operational and financial resources. The
Company expects that the number of its employees will increase substantially
over the next 12 months. The Company's financial and management controls,
reporting systems and procedures are also very limited. Although some new
controls, systems and procedures have been implemented, the Company's future
growth, if any, will depend on its ability to continue to implement and improve
operational, financial and management information and control systems on a
timely basis, together with maintaining effective cost controls, and any failure
to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company's performance will be
substantially dependent on the performance of its executive officers and key
employees. None of the Company's officers or employees are bound by an
employment agreement, and the relationships of such officers and employees with
the Company are at will. Given the Company's early stage of development, the
Company will be dependent on its ability to attract, retain and motivate high
quality personnel, especially its management and development teams. The Company
does not have "key person" life insurance policies on any of its employees. The
loss of the services of any of its executive officers, technical personnel or
other key employees would have a material adverse effect on the business,
financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The Company's
success depends on its ability to identify, hire, train and retain highly
qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel is
intense, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
identify, attract, assimilate or retain highly qualified technical and
managerial personnel in the future. The inability to attract and retain the
necessary technical and managerial personnel would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Cyclical Nature of the Semiconductor Industry. The semiconductor
industry has historically been characterized by rapid technological change,
cyclical market patterns, significant price erosion, fluctuating inventory
levels, alternating periods of over-capacity and capacity constraints,
variations in manufacturing costs and yields and significant expenditures for
capital equipment and product development. In addition, the industry has
experienced significant economic downturns at various times, characterized by
diminished product demand and accelerated erosion of product prices. The Company
may experience substantial period-to-period fluctuations in results of
operations due to general semiconductor industry conditions.
Risks Relating to Intellectual Property. The Company relies primarily
on a combination of patent, mask work protection, trademarks, copyrights, trade
secret laws, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and licensing
arrangements to protect its intellectual property. There can be no assurance
that
18
<PAGE> 19
pending applications will be approved, or that any issued patents will provide
the Company with competitive advantages or will not be challenged by third
parties, or that the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on the
Company's ability to do business. In addition, there can be no assurance that
others will not independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual
property or otherwise gain access to the Company's trade secrets or intellectual
property, or disclose such intellectual property or trade secrets, or that the
Company can meaningfully protect its intellectual property. A failure by the
Company to protect its intellectual property could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and
pursuit of intellectual property rights or positions, which have resulted in
significant and often protracted and expensive litigation. There can be no
assurance that infringement claims by third parties or claims for
indemnification by other customers or end users of the Company's products
resulting from infringement claims will not be asserted in the future or that
such assertions, if proven to be true, will not materially adversely affect the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Any
limitations on the Company's ability to market its products, or delays and costs
associated with redesigning its products or payments of license fees to third
parties, or any failure by the Company to develop or license a substitute
technology on commercially reasonable terms could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Litigation by or against the Company could result in significant expense to the
Company and divert the efforts of the Company's technical and management
personnel, whether or not such litigation results in a favorable determination
for the Company. In the event of an adverse result in any such litigation, the
Company could be required to pay substantial damages, cease the manufacture, use
and sale of infringing products, expend significant resources to develop
non-infringing technology, discontinue the use of certain processes or obtain
licenses for the infringing technology.
International Operations. The Company's reliance on foreign third-party
manufacturing, assembly and testing operations, all of which are located in
Asia, and the Company's expectation of international sales subject it to a
number of risks associated with conducting business outside of the United
States. These risks include unexpected changes in, or impositions of,
legislative or regulatory requirements, delays resulting from difficulty in
obtaining export licenses for certain technology, tariffs, quotas and other
trade barriers and restrictions, longer payment cycles, greater difficulty in
accounts receivable collection, potentially adverse taxes, the burdens of
complying with a variety of foreign laws and other factors beyond the Company's
control. The Company is also subject to general political risks in connection
with its international trade relationships. In addition, the laws of certain
foreign countries in which the Company's products are or may be manufactured or
sold, including various countries in Asia, may not protect the Company's
products or intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of
the United States and thus make the possibility of piracy of the Company's
technology and products more likely. Currently, all of the Company's product
sales and its arrangements with its foundry and assembly and test vendor provide
for pricing and payment in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates
may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations in the future. In addition, to date the
Company has not engaged in any currency hedging activities.

principal office is located at 310 West Hamilton Avenue, Suite 202, Campbell,
California 95008 ("Lessor") and 3Dfx Interactive, Inc., whose principal office
address is 4435 Fortran Dr., City of San Jose, State of California ("Lessee").
1. LEASE. Lessor agrees to lease to Lessee and Lessee agrees to lease from
Lessor, subject to the terms and conditions of this Master Equipment Lease
("Lease"), the personal property ("Equipment") described in each Acceptance
Supplement ("Supplement") executed and delivered by Lessor and Lessee pursuant
to the terms of this Lease. Each Supplement shall be in the form prescribed by
Lessor and, upon execution and delivery, shall constitute a part of this Lease
to the same extent as if the provisions thereof were set forth in full in this
Lease document; the terms "Agreement," "hereof," "herein," and "thereunder,"
when used in this Lease shall mean this Lease, each Supplement and each Schedule
as hereinafter defined. The Agreement constitutes an agreement to lease.
Ownership of the Equipment remains with Lessor and nothing herein contained
shall be construed as conveying to Lessee any right, title or interest in the
equipment except as Lessee only.
2. SELECTION OF EQUIPMENT. Lessee acknowledges that it has selected the type,
quantity and supplier of the Equipment referred to herein and that it has
requested Lessor to purchase the same for leasing to Lessee. Lessee agrees that
the Equipment and each part or unit thereof is of a design, size, quality and
capacity required by Lessee and is suitable for its purposes. Lessee
acknowledges that Lessor has informed or advised Lessee, in writing either
previously or by this Lease, of the following: (i) the identity of the supplier;
(ii) that the Lessee may have rights under the Supply Contract; and (iii) that
the Lessee may contact the supplier for a description of any such rights Lessee
may have under the Supply Contract. Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee all rights
which Lessor has or may acquire against any manufacturer, supplier, or
contractor with respect to any warranty or representation relating to the
Equipment leased thereunder.
3. EQUIPMENT TO REMAIN PERSONAL PROPERTY; LOCATION, IDENTIFICATION; INSPECTION.
Lessee represents that the Equipment shall be and at all times remain separately
identifiable personal property. Lessee shall, at its own expense, take such
action as may be necessary to prevent any third party from acquiring any right
to or interest in the Equipment by virtue of the Equipment being deemed to be
real property or a part of other personal property, and shall indemnify Lessor
against any loss which it may sustain by reason of Lessee's failure to do so.
The Equipment may not be removed from the location specified in the Supplement
pertaining thereto without Lessor's prior written consent. If requested by
Lessor, Lessee shall attach to and maintain on each item of Equipment a
conspicuous plate or marking disclosing Lessor's ownership thereof. Lessor or
its representatives may, at all reasonable times, and without advance notice,
inspect the Equipment. Lessee shall promptly advise Lessor of any circumstances
which may in any manner affect any item of Equipment or in any manner affect
Lessor's title thereto.
4. EXECUTION OF FURTHER DOCUMENTATION. Lessee will, at its own expense, promptly
execute and deliver to Lessor such further documentation and assurances and take
such further action as Lessor may from time to time require in order to more
effectively carry out the intent and purpose of the Agreement so as to establish
and protect the rights, interests and remedies intended to be created in favor
of Lessor thereunder, including, without limitation, the execution and filing of
financing statements and continuation statements with respect to the Equipment
and Agreement. Lessee authorizes Lessor to effect any such filing (including the
filing of any financing statements without the signature of Lessee). Any expense
incurred by Lessor in connection with any filings under this paragraph shall be
payable by Lessor on demand.
5. DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. THE PROPERTY WILL BE LEASED "AS IS" AND
"WHERE IS." THE LESSOR HAS NOT MADE, MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED TO HAVE MADE, AND
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS:
(1) ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE
PROPERTY, REGARDING TITLE, CONDITION, DESIGN, OPERATION, MERCHANTABILITY,
FREEDOM FROM CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT OR THE LIKE, FITNESS FOR USE FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUALITY OF MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP, ABSENCE OF DISCOVERABLE
OR NONDISCOVERABLE DEFECTS, OR THAT THE EQUIPMENT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY
APPLICABLE GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS OR REGULATIONS; AND
(2) ANY OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE
PROPERTY (INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM A COURSE OF PERFORMANCE,
COURSE OF DEALING, OR USAGE OF TRADE); AND
(3) ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING THE
CHARACTERIZATION OF THIS LEASE FOR TAX, ACCOUNTING, OR OTHER PURPOSES.
THE LESSEE WAIVES, RELEASES, RENOUNCES, AND DISCLAIMS EXPECTATION OF OR RELIANCE
ON ANY SUCH WARRANTY OR WARRANTIES.
THE LESSOR WILL NOT HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY TO THE LESSEE OR ANY
OTHER PERSON, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT OR TORT, OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENCE OR
STRICT LIABILITY OF THE LESSOR OR OTHERWISE, FOR:
(1) ANY LIABILITY, LOSS, OR DAMAGE CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY BY THE PROPERTY; BY ANY INADEQUACY, DEFICIENCY OR DEFECT OF THE
PROPERTY; OR BY ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE;
(2) THE USE, OPERATION, OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY RISKS RELATING TO
IT;
(3) ANY CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING THOSE FOR INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE, LOSS
OF BUSINESS, OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS; OR
(4) THE DELIVERY, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, IMPROVEMENT, OR REPLACEMENT OF
THE PROPERTY.
6. TERM; ACCEPTANCE; RENT; RETURN. The term of lease of each item of Equipment
shall commence on the Commencement Date specified in the Supplement pertaining
to such Equipment and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions
hereof, shall continue for the term specified in such Supplement. Lessee's
execution and delivery of each Supplement shall constitute Lessee's irrevocable
acceptance of the equipment covered thereby for all purposes of this Agreement.
Lessee shall pay to Lessor, at the addresses specified above or at such other
address as may be provided by Lessor from time to time, rent as specified in
each Supplement. Each date on which an installment of rent is payable is
designated herein as "Rent Payment Date." As to each Supplement, the first Rent
Payment Date shall be the Rent Payment Date set forth therein, with the
succeeding Rent Payment Date on the corresponding day of each month thereafter.
In addition, if applicable, Lessee shall pay interim rent for the period between
the actual commencement of the rent under each Supplement and the date
designated as the Rent Payment Date, based on a 30 day month and the number of
days between the actual commencement date and the first Rent Payment Date.
Should any payment not be made by Lessee on or before the applicable Rent
Payment Date, Lessor shall be entitled to a late payment charge in addition to
the actual rent due of 5% of the late rent and any other amount due but unpaid
under this Agreement. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the term of
lease of each item of Equipment leased thereunder, Lessee
<PAGE> 2
shall at its own expense return such item to Lessor at such location as Lessor
may designate, in the condition required to be maintained by Paragraph 9 hereof.
7. LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS IRREVOCABLE. The Lessee's obligation to pay all rent
will be absolute and unconditional and will not be affected or reduced by any
circumstance, including:
(1) Any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right that the
Lessee may have for any reason against the Lessor, the manufacturer, any seller
of the property, or any person providing services with respect to the property;
(2) Any defect in the title, condition, design, operation, or fitness for use of
the property; any damage to, or loss or destruction of, the property; or any
interruption or cessation in its use or possession by the Lessee for any reason,
whether arising out of or related to an act or omission of the Lessor or any
other person;
(3) Any liens with respect to the property;
(4) The invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any absence of
right, power or authority of the Lessor or Lessee to enter into this Lease;
(5) Any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar proceedings by or
against the Lessor or Lessee; or
(6) Any other circumstance or occurrence of any nature, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing.
It is the express intention of the Lessor and Lessee that all rent payable under
this Agreement will be payable in all events, unless the obligation to pay is
terminated under the express provisions of this Agreement.
The Lessee hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, all rights that it may
now have or later acquire, by order or otherwise, to terminate this Agreement or
any obligation imposed on the Lessee in relation to this Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement may be construed as a waiver of the Lessee's right to
seek a separate recovery of any payment of rent that is not due and payable
under this Agreement. The Lessee retains any right it may have to seek damages,
specific performance, or any other remedy at law or in equity, separately or in
combination, against the Lessor or any other person, on account of the Lessor's
or other person's failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
8. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. THE LESSEE MAY NOT SUBLET OR TRANSFER POSSESSION OF
THE PROPERTY WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE LESSOR WHICH MAY BE
WITHHELD IN THE SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION OF THE LESSOR. THE LESSEE MAY NOT
ASSIGN, PLEDGE, OR OTHERWISE ENCUMBER THIS LEASE.
With respect to any sublease or transfer of possession of the property, the
rights of the sublessee or transferee will be subject and subordinate to all the
terms of this Agreement, including the Lessor's right of repossession on the
occurrence of an event of default. The Lessee will remain primarily liable for
the performance of all the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if the
sublease or transfer of possession had not occurred.
The Lessor will have the right, at its sole expense, to assign, sell, or
encumber any part of its interest in the property or in this Agreement and any
proceeds of the disposition of that interest, subject to the Lessee's rights
under this lease. To effect or facilitate such assignment, sale or encumbrance,
the Lessee agrees to provide all agreements, consents, conveyances or documents
that may be reasonably requested by the Lessor, including an unrestricted
release of the Lessor from its obligations under this Agreement. That release
will not release the Lessor from any liability that arose before the assignment
or sale.
Any person who succeeds to the rights and interests of the Lessor under this
clause will agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement without alteration.
The Lessee acknowledges that an assignment, sale, or encumbrance of the Lessor's
interest would not materially change the Lessee's duties under the Agreement or
materially increase its burdens or risks. Even if such a transfer could be
deemed to have that effect, the Lessee agrees that the assignment, sale or
encumbrance will nevertheless be permitted.
Without prejudice to any rights that the Lessee may have against the Lessor, the
Lessee agrees that it will not assert against an assignee any claim or defense
that it may have against the Lessor.
The agreements, covenants, obligations and liabilities contained in this clause,
including but not limited to, all obligations to pay rent and to indemnify each
indemnitee, are made for the benefit of the indemnitees and their respective
successors and assigns.
9. MAINTENANCE COVENANT. The Lessee will:
(1) Furnish all labor and parts required for maintaining, repairing, and
replacing component parts of the property to keep it in good operating condition
and appearance;
(2) Use, operate, maintain, and store the property in a careful and proper
manner;
(3) Protect the property from deterioration;
(4) Comply with the manufacturer's operating procedures and warranty
restrictions and all laws, ordinances, and regulations applicable to the
property or its use and in compliance with the insurance policies required to be
maintained thereunder;
(5) Put the property only to the use contemplated by the manufacturer; and
(6) Maintain accurate and complete records of all repairs and maintenance of the
property and allow the Lessor to inspect those records at any time.
(7) Comply with the maintenance requirements of any maintenance schedule
attached as a part of this agreement.
The Lessee will not make any alterations, additions, or improvements to the
property without the Lessor's prior written consent. All repairs, replacement
parts, additions, alterations, and improvements made to the property by the
Lessee will be considered to be the Lessor's property and subject to the terms
of this Agreement.
10. RISK OF LOSS COVENANT. The Lessee will bear the entire risk of destruction,
loss, theft, requisition of title, or use, confiscation, taking, or damage
(collectively, casualty loss) of the property from any cause during the period
commencing when the property is placed in transit to the Lessee and ending when
the property is returned to the Lessor or its designee following termination as
provided herein. If during that period the property suffers any casualty loss,
the Lessee will notify the Lessor in writing within five days following the
casualty loss. On demand by the Lessor, the Lessee will:
(1) If the damage constituting the casualty loss is repairable, repair the
property to the condition in which the property is required to be maintained
under this Agreement;
(2) If the damaged property is not repairable, replace the property at the
Lessee's sole expense with like property approved by the Lessor and take all
actions and make all payments that may be required to vest in the Lessor title
to the replacement property, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, or
security interests; or
(3) Pay to the Lessor the casualty value (as defined below) and all other
amounts then due under this Agreement.
"Casualty value" is, at any given date, the stipulated loss value as shown on
the applicable Schedule to each Supplement, and is computed to be the sum of:
(1) The discounted value at that time, of the aggregate unpaid monthly rent
payments to be paid through the then remaining term of this Agreement,
discounting that amount at an annual discount rate of 8 percent; and
(2) The Lessor's reasonable estimate, at that time, of the fair market value of
the property at the end of the term of this Agreement, discounted at an annual
discount rate of 8 percent.
11. INSURANCE. Lessee shall maintain at all times on the equipment, at Lessee's
expense, property damages, direct damage, and liability insurance in such
amounts, against such risks, and in such form and with such insurers as shall be
satisfactory to Lessee. The required insurance shall be as specified in the
applicable Supplement, provided, however, that the amount of direct damage
insurance shall not on any date be less than the greater of the full replacement
value or the Stipulated Loss Value of the Equipment as of such date. Each
insurance policy will name Lessor as additional insured and as loss payee, and
shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give to Lessor at least 30 days
prior written notice of any alteration in or cancellation of the terms of such
policy. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a certificate or other evidence
satisfactory to Lessor that such insurance coverage is in effect, provided,
however, that Lessor shall be under no duty to ascertain the existence or
adequacy of such insurance.
12. TAXES; INDEMNITY. Lessee agrees to pay, and to indemnify and hold Lessor
harmless from, all license fees, assessments, and sales, use, property, excise,
and other taxes and charges (other than federal income taxes and taxes imposed
by any other jurisdiction which are based on, or measured by, the net income of
Lessor for reasons other than the ownership or leasing of the Equipment in such
jurisdiction) imposed upon or with respect to (a) the Equipment or any part
thereof arising out of or in connection with the shipment of Equipment or the
possession, ownership, use or operation thereof, or (b) this Agreement or the
consummation of the transactions herein contemplated. The agreements and
indemnities contained in this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement.
13. DEPRECIATION INDEMNITY.
(1) Lessor, as the owner of the Equipment, shall be entitled to such deductions,
credits and other benefits as are provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1954,
as amended (IRC), to an owner of property.
-2-
<PAGE> 3
(2) Lessee agrees that neither it nor any corporation controlled by it, in
control of it, or under common control with it, directly or indirectly, will at
any time take any action or file any returns or other documents inconsistent
with the foregoing and that each of such corporations will file such returns,
take such action, and execute such documents as may be reasonable and necessary
to facilitate accomplishment of the intent thereof. Lessee agrees to copy and
make available for inspection and copying by Lessor such records as will enable
Lessor to determine whether it is entitled to the benefit of any amortization or
depreciation deduction, or other deduction or credit which may be available from
time to time with respect to the Equipment.
(3) If Lessor, under any circumstances or for any reason whatsoever, except for
acts of Lessor or future changes in the IRC, shall lose or shall not have the
right to claim or there shall be disallowed or recaptured, all or any portion of
the federal tax depreciation deductions with respect to any item of Equipment
based on depreciation of the Lessor's full cost of such item of Equipment and
computed on the basis of a method of depreciation provided by the IRC as Lessor
in its complete discretion may select, then Lessee agrees to pay Lessor upon
demand an amount which, after deduction of all taxes required to be paid by
Lessor in respect of the receipt thereof under the laws of any federal, state,
or local government or taxing authority of the United States or of any taxing
authority or government subsidiary of any foreign country, shall be equal to the
sum of (i) an amount equal to the additional income taxes paid or payable by
Lessor in consequence of the failure to obtain the benefit of a depreciation
deduction, and (ii) any interest and/or penalty which may be assessed in
connection with any of the foregoing.
The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement.
14. INDEMNIFICATION COVENANT. The Lessee agrees to indemnify, reimburse, and
hold harmless each indemnitee from and against all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, demands, suits, judgments, causes of action, civil and criminal
legal proceedings, penalties, fines and other sanctions, and any attorney fees
and other reasonable costs and expenses, arising or imposed with or without the
Lessor's fault or negligence (whether active or passive) or under the doctrine
of strict liability (collectively, "claims"), relating to or arising in any
manner out of:
(1) This Agreement or the breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant
made by the Lessee under this Agreement;
(2) Manufacture, purchase, lease, delivery, nondelivery, acceptance, rejection,
ownership, possession, use, operation, return or disposition of the Equipment;
(3) The Equipment's condition or any discoverable or nondiscoverable defect in
it arising from its design, testing, or construction; any article used in the
Equipment; or any maintenance, service, or repair, whether or not the Equipment
is in the Lessee's possession and regardless of where the Equipment is locate
Anyd; or (4) transaction, approval, or document contemplated by this Agreement.
The Lessee waives and releases each indemnitee from any existing or future
claims in any way connected with injury to or death of the Lessee's personnel,
loss or damage of the Lessee's property, or loss of use of any property, which
may:
(a) Result from or arise in any manner out of the ownership, leasing, condition,
use, or operation of the Equipment; or
(b) Be caused by any defect in the Equipment; its design, testing, or
construction; any article used in the Equipment, or any maintenance, service, or
repair, whether or not the Equipment is in the Lessee's possession and
regardless of where the Equipment is located.
The indemnities described in this clause will continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding the expiration or other termination of this Agreement and are
expressly made for the benefit and will be enforceable by each indemnitee.
15. COVENANT TO KEEP FREE OF LIENS. The Lessee will not directly or indirectly
create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist any lien on the Equipment, its title,
or any interest in the lien, except for:
(1) The respective rights of the Lessor and Lessee under this Agreement;
(2) Liens granted by the Lessor with respect to the Equipment;
(3) Liens for taxes either not yet due or being contested in good faith by the
Lessee as long as adequate reserves are maintained with respect to those liens
and the Equipment is not, in the Lessor's reasonable opinion, in danger of being
sold, confiscated, forfeited, or seized as a result of the liens; and
(4) Inchoate materialmen's, mechanics', workmen's, repairmen's, employees', or
other like liens arising in the ordinary course of business, which either are
not delinquent or are being contested in good faith by the Lessee, as long as
the Equipment is not, in the Lessor's reasonable opinion, in danger of being
sold, confiscated, forfeited, or seized as a result of the liens.
The Lessee will promptly, at its sole expense, take any action that may be
necessary to discharge any lien except for the liens referred to in paragraphs
(1) and (2) arising at any time with respect to the Equipment.
16. WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. The Lessee will not be entitled to recover,
and hereby disclaims and waives any right that it may otherwise have to recover,
consequential damages as a result of any breach or alleged breach by the Lessor
of any of the agreements, representations, or warranties of the Lessor contained
in this Agreement.
17. LESSOR'S RIGHT TO PERFORM. If Lessee fails to make any payment required to
be made thereunder or fails to comply with any other provisions of this
Agreement, Lessor may make such payment or comply with such provisions, and the
amount of such payment and the reasonable expenses of Lessor incurred in
connection with such payment or compliance, shall be payable by Lessee.
18. DEFAULT. Any one of the following occurrences shall, in the Lessor's sole
discretion, constitute a material default by Lessee of this Agreement:
(1) Failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or other amount owing
thereunder when due;
(2) Failure by Lessee to perform or observe any other covenant, agreement, or
condition thereunder;
(3) Any representation or warranty made by Lessee herein or in any document or
certificate furnished to Lessor in connection herewith shall prove to be
incorrect at any time;
(4) Lessee shall become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or consent to the appointment of a trustee or receiver, or a trustee
or receiver shall be appointed for Lessee or for a substantial part of its
property or for the Equipment, or reorganization, arrangement, insolvency,
dissolution, or liquidation proceedings shall be instituted by or against
Lessee. In such event, Lessor may declare this Agreement to be in default, and
may proceed in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 19 hereof.
19. REMEDIES.
(1) Remedies. On the occurrence of any event of default and at any
time afterwards as long as it continues, the Lessor may, at its option and
without notice to the Lessee, declare this Agreement to be in default and
exercise one or more of the following remedies:
(a) Declare the then Stipulated Loss Value immediately due and payable with
respect to any or all items of Equipment without notice or demand to Lessee;
(b) Sue for and recover all rent and other payments, then accrued or thereafter
accruing, with respect to any or all items of Equipment;
(c) Take possession of and render unusable any or all items of Equipment,
without demand or notice, wherever same may be located, without any court order
or other process of law and without liability for any damages occasioned by such
taking of possession (any such taking of possession will not constitute a
termination of this lease as to any or all items of Equipment unless Lessor
expressly so notifies Lessee in writing);
(d) Require Lessee to assemble any or all items of Equipment at the original
equipment location, such location to which the equipment may have been moved
with the prior written consent of Lessor, or such other location in reasonable
proximity to either of the foregoing as Lessor designates;
(e) Sell or otherwise dispose of any or all items of Equipment whether or not in
Lessor's possession, in a commercially reasonable manner at public or private
sale and with or without notice to Lessee and apply the net proceeds of such
sale, after deducting all costs of such sale, including, but not limited to,
costs of transportation, repossession, storage, refurbishing, advertising and
broker's fees, to the obligations of Lessee thereunder with Lessee remaining
liable for any deficiency and with any excess being retained by Lessor;
(f) Retain any repossessed items of Equipment and credit the reasonable value
thereof, after deducting all such sales related costs incurred to the date of
crediting, to the obligations of Lessee thereunder with Lessee remaining liable
for any deficiency and with Lessor having no obligation to reimburse Lessee on
account of any excess of such reasonable value over such obligations;
(g) Terminate this lease as to any or all items of Equipment;
(h) Utilize any other remedy available to Lessor at law or in equity.
In each case, plus the amount, if any, as reasonably calculated by the Lessor,
required for the Lessor to receive the same after tax economic return from this
lease that the Lessor would have received if the Lessee had performed all of its
obligations under this Agreement through the end of the lease term.
In addition to the foregoing, the Lessee will be liable for interest on unpaid
amounts at an annual interest rate of 18 percent from the date the same became
due until payment in full, and for all reasonable legal fees and other
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor in connection with the
occurrence of any event of default or the exercise of its remedies.
A termination hereunder will occur only upon written notice by Lessor to Lessee
and only with respect to such items of Equipment as to which Lessor specifically
elects to terminate in such notice. Except as to such items with respect to
which there is a termination, this lease will remain in full force and effect
and Lessee will be and remain liable for the full performance of all its
obligations thereunder.
-3-
<PAGE> 4
No right or remedy conferred herein is exclusive of any right or remedy
conferred herein or by law, but all such rights and remedies are cumulative of
every other right or remedy conferred thereunder or at law or in equity, by
statute or otherwise, and may be exercised concurrently or separately from time
to time.
(2) In effecting any repossession, the Lessor and its representatives and
agents, to the extent permitted by law, will:
(a) Have the right to enter on any premises where the Lessor reasonably believes
the Equipment is located;
(b) Not be liable, in conversion or otherwise, for the taking of any personal
property of the Lessee that is in or attached to the repossessed Equipment as
long as the Lessor promptly returns that property to the Lessee;
(c) Not be liable in any manner for any damage to any of the Lessee's property
in repossessing and holding the Equipment, except for damage caused by the
Lessor's gross negligence or willful misconduct; and
(d) Have the right to maintain possession of and dispose of the Equipment on any
premises owned by the Lessee or under the Lessee's control.
If reasonably required by the Lessor, the Lessee, at its sole expense, will
assemble and make the Equipment available at a place designated by the Lessor.
If the Equipment is returned to or repossessed by the Lessor, any rights in any
express or implied warranty previously assigned to the Lessee or otherwise held
by it will without further act, notice, or writing be assigned or reassigned to
the Lessor, if assignable. The Lessee will be liable to the Lessor for all
reasonable expenses, costs, and fees incurred in (1) repossessing, storing,
preserving, shipping, maintaining, repairing, and refurbishing the Equipment to
the condition required by this Agreement; and (2) preparing the Equipment for
sale or lease, advertising the sale or lease, and selling or re-letting the
Equipment.
No remedy referred to in this paragraph is intended to be exclusive, but, to the
extent permissible under applicable law, each will be cumulative and operate in
addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to the
Lessor at law or in equity. The exercise or beginning or exercise by the Lessor
of any one or more of its remedies will not preclude the simultaneous or later
exercise by the Lessor of any other remedies.
No express or implied waiver by the Lessor of any default or event of default
will be construed as a waiver of any future or subsequent default or event of
default.
20. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. The obligation of Lessor contained in paragraph 1 of
