PURPOSE: To approve a lease /purchase agreement between Orange County Schools (OCS)
and Chase Equipment Finance for the lease /purchase of computers for teachers and students
to upgrade the District's digital technology.
BACKGROUND: As part of Orange County Schools (District) need to utilize current technology
to educate the students of its school district, the Orange County Board of Education conducted
a work session on the digital classroom, and decided to approve a digital classroom project to
purchase laptop computers to upgrade the existing technology for the District's teachers and
students. The purchase of the required computers will be accomplished in two phases. Phase
I of the project will include the purchase of 650 laptops for the District's teachers, which will be
paid for with funds from the District's 2011 -2012 Budget. Phase 2 of the project involves the
purchase of 4,100 laptop computers for students in grades 6 -12, which will be financed through
a lease /purchase agreement. The total cost of the purchase of the computers is as follows:
Phase 1
$
1,642,550
Phase 2
$
2,684,390
Total
$
4,326,940
Orange County Schools received financing proposals from BB &T, Key Bank, Lenovo, and
Chase Equipment Finance for Phase 2 of the project. The lowest interest rate received for the
2
proposed financing was from Chase Equipment Finance, which is a division of JP Morgan
Chase Bank. The proposed rate for $2,600,000 is 1.29% with a lease term of 4 years.
The Chase Equipment Finance lease agreement represents an annual lease payment of
$671,097. The Orange County Schools Board of Education approved the financing of Phase 2
of the project with Chase Equipment Finance at its May 29, 2012 Board Meeting. Orange
County Schools will dedicate proceeds from the one - quarter cent sales tax and redirect
curriculum, textbook and technology operating funds to pay the annual lease payment.
The State of North Carolina requires that the County and Local Government Commission (LGC)
approve a lease agreement if the lease term is longer 5 years or more. This lease will not
require LGC approval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The financial impact to the County is approximately $4,326,940 and is
included in Orange County Schools Capital Investment Plan.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the lease
agreement and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution regarding the lease agreement
between Orange County Schools and Chase Equipment Finance.

no pending, or to the best of Lessee's knowledge threatened, litigation of any nature which may have a material adverse effect on

SIMILAR DEFENSES WHICH LESSEE MAY HAVE AGAINST LESSOR Unless otherwise agreed by Lessee in writing, any
such assignment transaction shall not release Lessor from any of Lessor's obligations under the applicable Lease. An assignment or
reassignment of any of Lessor's right, title or interest in a Lease or its Equipment shall be enforceable against Lessee only after Lessee
receives a written notice of assignment which discloses the name and address of each such Assignee; provided, that such notice from
Lessor to Lessee of any assignment shall not be so required if Lessor assigns a Lease to JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. any of its direct
or indirect subsidiaries. Lessee shall keep a complete and accurate record of all such assignments in the form necessary to comply with
Section 149(a) of the Code and for such purpose, Lessee hereby appoints Lessor (or Lessor's designee) as the book entry and
registration agent to keep a complete and accurate record of any and all assignments of any Lease. Lessee agrees to acknowledge in
writing any such assignments if so requested.
18.3 Each Assignee of a Lease hereby agrees that: (a) the term Secured Obligations as used in Section 8.3 hereof is hereby
amended to include and apply to all obligations of Lessee under the Assigned Leases and to exclude the obligations of Lessee under

Assigned Lease or any Equipment covered by any Non - Assigned Lease; and (c) Assignee shall exercise its rights, benefits and
remedies as the assignee of Lessor (including, without limitation, the remedies under Section 20 of the Master Lease) solely with
respect to the Assigned Leases. "Assigned Leases" means only those Leases which have been assigned to a single Assignee pursuant
to a written agreement; and "Non- Assigned Leases" means all Leases excluding the Assigned Leases.
18.4 Subject to the foregoing, each Lease inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
19. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. For each Lease, "Event of Default" means the occurrence of any one or more of the following events
as they may relate to such Lease: (a) Lessee fails to make any Rent Payment (or any other payment) as it becomes due in accordance
with the terms of the Lease, and any such failure continues for ten (10) days after the due date thereof, (b) Lessee fails to perform or
observe any of its obligations under Sections 12.1, 14 or 18.1 hereof, (c) Lessee fails to perform or observe any other covenant,
condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it under the Lease and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after
receipt of written notice thereof by Lessor; (d) any statement, representation or warranty made by Lessee in the Lease or in any
writing delivered by Lessee pursuant thereto or in connection therewith proves at any time to have been false, misleading or erroneous
in any material respect as of the time when made; (e) Lessee applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee,
conservator or liquidator of Lessee or of all or a substantial part of its assets, or a petition for relief is filed by Lessee under any federal
or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or a petition in a proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law is filed against Lessee and is not dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter; or (f) Lessee shall be in default under any
other Lease or under any other financing agreement executed at any time with Lessor.
20. REMEDIES. If any Event of Default occurs, then Lessor may, at its option, exercise any one or more of the following remedies:
(a) Lessor may require Lessee to pay (and Lessee agrees that it shall pay) all amounts then currently due under all Leases and
all remaining Rent Payments due under all Leases during the fiscal year in effect when the Event of Default occurs together with
interest on such amounts at the rate of twelve percent (12 %) per annum (but not to exceed the highest rate permitted by applicable
law) from the date of Lessor's demand for such payment;
(b) Lessor may require Lessee to promptly return all Equipment under all or any of the Leases to Lessor in the manner set
forth in Section 21 (and Lessee agrees that it shall so return the Equipment), or Lessor may, at its option, enter upon the premises
where any Equipment is located and repossess any Equipment without demand or notice, without any court order or other process of
law and without liability for any damage occasioned by such repossession;
(c) Lessor may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Equipment under all or any of the Leases, in whole or in part, in one or
more public or private transactions, and if Lessor so disposes of any Equipment, then Lessor shall retain the entire proceeds of such
disposition free of any claims of Lessee, provided, that if the net proceeds of the disposition of all the Equipment exceeds the
applicable Termination Value of all the Schedules plus the amounts payable by Lessee under clause (a) above of this Section and
under clause (f) below of this Section, then such excess amount shall be remitted by Lessor to Lessee;
(d) Lessor may terminate, cancel or rescind any Lease as to any and all Equipment;
(e) Lessor may exercise any other right, remedy or privilege which may be available to Lessor under applicable law or, by
appropriate court action at law or in equity, Lessor may enforce any of Lessee's obligations under any Lease; and/or
(f) Lessor may require Lessee to pay (and Lessee agrees that it shall pay) all out -of- pocket costs and expenses incurred by
Lessor as a result (directly or indirectly) of the Event of Default and/or of Lessor's actions under this section, including, without
limitation, any attorney fees and expenses and any costs related to the repossession, safekeeping, storage, repair, reconditioning or
disposition of any Equipment.
Page 5 of 6
None of the above remedies is exclusive, but each is cumulative and in addition to any other remedy available to Lessor. Lessor's
exercise of one or more remedies shall not preclude its exercise of any other remedy. No delay or failure on the part of Lessor to
exercise any remedy under any Lease shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any remedy preclude any other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other remedy.
21. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT. If Lessor is entitled under the provisions of any Lease, including any termination thereof pursuant
to Sections 6 or 20 of this Master Lease, to obtain possession of any Equipment or if Lessee is obligated at any time to return any
Equipment, then (a) title to the Equipment shall vest in Lessor immediately upon Lessor's notice thereof to Lessee, and (b) Lessee
shall, at its sole expense and risk, immediately de- install, disassemble, pack, crate, insure and return the Equipment to Lessor (all in
accordance with applicable industry standards) at any location in the continental United States selected by Lessor. Such Equipment
shall be in the same condition as when received by Lessee (reasonable wear, tear and depreciation resulting from normal and proper
use excepted), shall be in good operating order and maintenance as required by the applicable Lease, shall be free and clear of any
Liens. (except Lessor's Lien) and shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Until Equipment is returned as required above,
all terms of the applicable Lease shall remain in full force and effect including, without limitation, obligations to pay Rent Payments
and to insure the Equipment. Lessee agrees to execute and deliver to Lessor all documents reasonably requested by Lessor to evidence
the transfer of legal and beneficial title to such Equipment to Lessor and to evidence the termination of Lessee's interest in such
Equipment.
22. LAW GOVERNING. Each Lease shall be governed by the laws of the state of where Lessee is located (the "State ").
23. NOTICES. All notices to be given under any Lease shall be made in writing and either personally delivered or mailed by regular
or certified mail or sent by an overnight courier delivery company to the other party at its address set forth herein or at such address as
the party may provide in writing from time to time. Any such notices shall be deemed to have been received five (5) days subsequent
to mailing.
24. FINANCIAL INFORMATION. As soon as they are available after their completion in each fiscal year of Lessee during any
Lease Term, Lessee will deliver to Lessor upon Lessor's request the publicly available annual financial information of Lessee.
25. SECTION HEADINGS. All section headings contained herein or in any Schedule are for convenience of reference only and do
not define or limit the scope of any provision of any Lease.
26. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. Each Schedule to this Master Lease may be executed in several counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall be deemed one instrument. If more than one counterpart of each Schedule is
executed by Lessee and Lessor, then only one may be marked "Lessor's Original" by Lessor. A security interest in any Schedule may
be created through transfer and possession only of. the sole original of said Schedule if there is only one original; or the counterpart
marked "Lessor's Original" if there are multiple counterparts of said Schedule.
27. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; WRITTEN AMENDMENTS. Each Lease, together with the exhibits, schedules and addenda
attached thereto and made a part hereof and other attachments thereto constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect
to the lease of the Equipment covered thereby, and such Lease shall not be modified, amended, altered, or changed except with the
written consent of Lessee and Lessor. Any provision of any Lease found to be prohibited by law shall be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition without invalidating the remainder of the Lease.
