2 Case 3:16-cv PK Document 522 Filed 09/05/17 Page 2 of 6 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.; AEQUITAS INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, EEC; ROBERT J. JESENIK, BRIAN A. OLIVER; and N. SCOTT GILLIS, Defendants. COMPUTER EQUIPMENT AND COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE SOFTWARE I, Brad Foster, declare as follows: 1. I am employed by FTI Consulting, Inc. ( FTI ) as Managing Director, Corporate Finance. FTI was retained by Ronald Greenspan, the duly appointed receiver ( Receiver ) for the Receivership Entity.* On August 30, 2016, the Court authorized Larissa Gotguelf and me to act on behalf of the Receiver with respect to the powers and duties of the Receiver provided in the Final Receivership Order, provided such actions were undertaken with the prior written consent of the Receiver ( Gotguelf/Foster Authorization Order ) [Dkt. 245]. 2. Pursuant to that authorization and the Receiver s written consent, I have undertaken the actions, formulated the opinions, and exercised the judgment described in this declaration. As used hereafter in this declaration, the term Receiver includes myself, acting pursuant to that authority, as well as the Receiver s attorneys. The statements I make in this declaration are based on my personal knowledge or information conveyed to me by those acting within the scope of their duties to the Receiver. 3. The Receiver has, among other tasks, endeavored to determine the nature, location, and value of all Receivership Property and directed others in such tasks. 4. As part of these efforts, the Receiver has determined that Receivership Property includes computer equipment and software over which Dell Financial Services, L.L.C. ( DFS ) asserts liens. 5. Aequitas Commercial Finance, EEC ( ACF ) and DFS entered into a transaction. No (the Master Agreement ), which became effective on August 3, 2012, for the ' Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this declaration shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Order Appointing Receiver entered on April 14, 2016 [Dkt. #156] (the Final Receivership Order ).

3 Case 3:16-cv PK Document 522 Filed 09/05/17 Page 3 of 6 purpose of enabling further secured financial transactions. A true and correct copy of the Master Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 6. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, ACF and DFS later entered into the following transactions, which I reference further in this declaration: a. Transaction ( Agreement 501 ); b. Transaction ( Agreement 502 ); c. Transaction ( Agreement 503 ); d. Transaction (the Subject Agreement ); e. Transaction ( Agreement 509 ); f Transaction ( Agreement 516 ); and g. Transaction ( Agreement 517 ) A true and correct copy of the Subject Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B. In communications with DFS, DFS has asserted a lien pursuant to the Master Agreement and Subject Agreement over certain items set forth in the Subject Agreement ( Asserted Lien ). 9. The Receiver and its professionals have expended reasonable (but significant) time, effort, and funds to investigate DFS s Asserted Lien. The Receiver denies the enforceability of the Asserted Lien because, among other issues: (a) assets listed in the Subject Agreement were not owned by ACF but were instead owned by other entities that are now deemed part of the Receivership Entity; (b) some items listed in the Subject Agreement are not objectively identifiable; (c) some items listed in the Subject Agreement are not within the Receiver s possession, custody, or control; (d) the Subject Agreement in some instances referenced invoices or items to which no security interest could attach; and (e) some items listed in the Subject Agreement were tenant improvements abandoned to the landlord. The Receiver acknowledges that the Receivership Entity is currently using assets listed in the Subject Agreement that have associated dollar amounts totaling $70,069.16, and also acknowledges that Page 3 DECLARATION OF BRAD FOSTER IN SUPPORT OF RECEIVER S MOTION RE: THE DELL SETTLEMENT AND CERTAIN COMPUTER EQUIPMENT AND COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE SOFTWARE PDX\129912\215141\AJL\ ,1

4 Case 3:16-cv PK Document 522 Filed 09/05/17 Page 4 of 6 the Receivership Entity has possession of certain other assets listed in the Subject Agreement that have associated dollar amounts totaling $135, The listed values do not account for depreciation. 10. Although the Receiver believes that there may be valid defenses to the Asserted Lien, the Receiver has determined that it is in the best interests of the Receivership Estate and all of its stakeholders to resolve this claimed lien for a reasonable sum while allowing DFS to assert any claim in excess of the settlement amount in the claims procedure. 11. In part because computer equipment depreciates more quickly than some other types of assets, the Receiver concluded that it is in the Receivership Entity s best interests to resolve the Asserted Lien without awaiting the claims process. 12. In good faith, the Receiver negotiated a possible resolution of the Asserted Lien with DFS. The Receiver is seeking approval of that proposed resolution, a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C (the Agreement to Release Lien ). 13. In the exercise of the Receiver s discretion and business judgment, the Receiver believes that the Agreement to Release Lien, which compromises a disputed lien over assets in use by the Receivership Entity as well as further assets in the Receiver s possession, is in the best interests of the Receivership Entity and stakeholders. 14. The Receiver has inventoried the computer equipment and commercially available software within the Receiver s possession, custody, and control. Pursuant to the Receiver s discretion and business judgment, the Receiver has concluded that: (a) (b) Some of the computer equipment and commercially available software has resale value. Some of the computer equipment and commercially available software is no longer in use by the Receivership Entity and is not likely to be put to future use.

5 Case 3:16-cv PK Document 522 Filed 09/05/17 Page 5 of 6 (c) Computer equipment and commercially available software are depreciating assets. 15. The Receiver believes, in the exercise of the Receiver s discretion and business judgment, the Agreement to Release Lien represents a fair compromise that is in the best interests of the Receivership Entity s investors and creditors for at least three reasons: (a) DFS has indicated that it will litigate to enforce its Asserted Lien, which includes assets that are currently in use by the Receivership Entity. (b) Litigation creates inherent uncertainties and, as such, litigating these matters exposes Receivership Property to expenses and burdens while providing uncertain results. (c) Awaiting the claims process to litigate DFS s Asserted Lien hinders the Receiver s ability to monetize the assets of the Receivership Entity. The Receiver s primary focus to date has been the stabilization of the Receivership Entity to preserve value and facilitate asset monetization. Monetizing the Receivership Entity s computer equipment and commercially available software is more practical and economical after any asserted liens have been resolved. Moreover, such assets are depreciating, making it prudent to monetize such assets without further delay. 16. If the Agreement to Release Lien is approved, performance of that agreement will result in the Receiver having possession of computer equipment and commercially available software: (a) that is not in use hy the Receivership Entity and which use is not anticipated in the future; (b) that, following reasonable investigation, appears to be held free and clear of any known or asserted lien; and (c) for individual assets, the value, if any, is depreciating. Thereafter, the Receiver believes that, in the exercise of its business judgment and discretion, it is in the best interests of the Receivership Entity and its stakeholders to liquidate such assets.

7 Case 3:16-cv PK Document Filed 09/05/17 Page 1 of 4 MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT NO. EFFECTIVE DATE: August 03, 2012 LESSOR: DELL FINANCIAL SERVICES L.L.C. LESSEE:AEQUITAS COMMERCIAL FINANCE, LLC Payment Address: Mailing Address: Principal Address: PO Box N. IH-35, Bldg. B 5300 MEADOWS RD STE 400 Chicago, Illinois Austin, TX LAKE OSWEGO, OR Fax: Attention: This Master Lease Agreement ("Agreement"), effective as of the Effective Date set forth above, is between the Lessor and Lessee named above. Capitalized terms have the meaning set forth in this Agreement. 1. LEASE. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor the equipment ( Products ), software, services or fees described in any lease schedule ( Schedule ). Each Schedule shall incorporate by reference the terms and conditions of this Agreement and contain such other terms as are agreed by Lessee and Lessor. Each Schedule signed or otherwise authenticated by Lessee and Lessor shall constitute a separate lease of Products ("Lease"). In the event of any conflict between the terms of a Schedule and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Schedule shall prevail. Lessor reserves all rights to the Products not specifically granted to Lessee in this Agreement or in a Schedule. Execution of this Agreement does not create an obligation of either party to lease to or from the other. 2. ACCEPTANCE DATE; SCHEDULE. (a) Subject to any right of return provided by the Product seller ( Seller ), named on the Schedule, Products are deemed to have been irrevocably accepted by Lessee upon delivery to Lessee s ship to location ( Acceptance Date ). Lessee shall be solely responsible for unpacking, inspecting and installing the Products. (b) Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a Schedule for Products. Lessee agrees to sign or otherwise authenticate and return each Schedule by the later of the Acceptance Date or 5 days after Lessee receives a Schedule from Lessor. If the Schedule is not signed or otherwise authenticated by Lessee and returned to Lessor within the time provided in the prior sentence, then upon written notice from Lessor and Lessee s failure to cure within 5 days of such notice, Lessor may require the Lessee to purchase the Products by paying the Product cost charged by the Seller, plus any shipping charges, Taxes and Duties (defined below) and interest at the Overdue Rate (defined below) accruing from the date the Products are shipped through the date of payment. If Lessee returns any leased Products in accordance with the Seller s return policy, it will notify Lessor. When Lessor receives a credit from Seller for the returned Product, the Schedule will be deemed amended to reflect the return of the Product and Lessor will adjust its billing records and Lessee s invoice for the applicable Lease. In addition, Lessee and Lessor agree that a signed Schedule may be amended by written notice from Lessor to Lessee provided such notice is (i) to correct the serial (or service tag) number of Products or (ii) to adjust the related Rent (defined below) on the Schedule (any increase up to 15% or any decrease) caused by any change made by Lessee in Lessee s order with the Seller, or any change in the Product cost charged by the Seller. 3. TERM. The initial term ( Primary Term ) for each Lease shall begin on the date set forth on the Schedule as the Commencement Date ( Commencement Date ) and continue for the number of months set forth in the Schedule. The period beginning on the Acceptance Date and ending on the last day of the Primary Term, together with any renewals or extensions thereof, is defined as the Lease Term. The Lease is non-cancelable by Lessee. 4. RENT; TAXES; PAYMENT OBLIGATION. (a) The rental payment amount ("Rent") and the payment period for each installment of Rent ( Payment Period ) shall be stated in the Schedule. A prorated portion of Rent, calculated on a 30-day month, 90-day quarter or 360- day year as appropriate, for the period from the Acceptance Date to the Commencement Date shall be added to the first payment of Rent. All Rent and other amounts due and payable under this Agreement or any Schedule shall be paid to Lessor in lawful funds of the United States of America at the payment address set forth above or at such other address as Lessor may designate from time to time in writing. Whenever Rent and other amounts payable under a Lease are not paid when due, Lessee shall pay interest on such amounts at a rate equal to the lesser of 1-1/2% per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable law ( Overdue Rate ). Rent shall be due and payable whether or not Lessee has received an invoice showing that such Rent is due. (b) Each Lease shall be a net lease. In addition to Rent, Lessee shall pay sales, use, property, added value or other taxes, fees, levies or assessments (collectively, Taxes ), and customs, duties or surcharges on imports or exports (collectively, "Duties") plus all expenses incurred in connection with Lessor s purchase of the Products, including but not limited to shipment, delivery, installation, and insurance. Unless Lessee provides Lessor with a tax exemption certificate acceptable to the relevant taxing authority prior to Lessor s payment of such Taxes, Lessee shall pay Lessor all Taxes upon demand by Lessor. Unless otherwise set forth in the Schedule and where applicable, Lessee agrees to pay a periodic personal property tax fee ( PPT Fee ) calculated by Lessor as a prorated portion of the annual estimated property tax assessed by the applicable taxing authority on the Products during the Lease Term. The PPT Fee shall be payable with each installment of Rent. (c) LESSEE'S OBLIGATION TO PAY ALL RENT AND OTHER AMOUNTS WHEN DUE AND TO OTHERWISE PERFORM AS REQUIRED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH SCHEDULE SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL, AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY ABATEMENT, REDUCTION, SET-OFF, DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM, INTERRUPTION, DEFERMENT OR RECOUPMENT FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER WHETHER ARISING OUT OF ANY CLAIMS BY LESSEE AGAINST LESSOR, SELLER, OR THE SUPPLIER OR MANUFACTURER OF THE PRODUCTS, TOTAL OR PARTIAL LOSS OF THE PRODUCTS OR THEIR USE OR POSSESSION, OR OTHERWISE. If any Product is unsatisfactory for any reason, Lessee shall make its claim solely against the Seller of such Product (or the Licensor in the case of Software, each as defined below) and shall, nevertheless, pay Lessor or its assignee all amounts due and payable under the Lease. 5. LICENSED MATERIALS. Software means any operating system software or computer programs included with the Products (collectively, Software ). Licensed Materials are any manuals and documents, end user license agreements, evidence of licenses, including, without limitation, any certificate of authenticity and other media provided in connection with such Software, all as delivered with or affixed as a label to the Products. Lessee agrees that this Agreement and any Lease (including the sale of any Product pursuant to any purchase option) does not grant any title or interest in Software or Licensed Materials. Any use of the terms "sell," "purchase," "license," "lease," and the like in this Agreement or any Schedule with respect to Software shall be interpreted in accordance with this Section USE; LOCATION; INSPECTION.

Lessee agrees not to move Products from the location specified in the Schedule without providing Lessor with at least 30 days prior written notice, and then only to a location within the United States and at Lessee s expense. Without notice to Lessor, Lessee may temporarily use laptop computers at other locations, including outside of the United States, provided Lessee complies with the United States Export Control Administration Act of 1979 and the Export Administration Act of 1985, as those Acts are amended from time to time (or any successor or similar legislation). Provided Lessor complies with Lessee s reasonable security requirements, Lessee shall allow Lessor to inspect the premises where the Products are located from time to time during reasonable hours after reasonable notice in order to confirm Lessee s compliance with its obligations under this Agreement. 7. RETURN. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term of any Schedule, and except for Products purchased pursuant to any purchase option under the Lease, Lessee will (a) remove all proprietary data from the Products and (b) return them to Lessor at a place within the contiguous United States designated by Lessor. Upon return of the Products, Lessee s right to the operating system Software in returned Products will terminate and Lessee will return the Products with the original certificate of authenticity (attached and unaltered) for the original operating system Software. Lessee agrees to deinstall and package the Products for return in a manner which will protect them from damage. Lessee shall pay all costs associated with the packing and return of the Products and shall promptly reimburse Lessor for all costs and expenses for missing or damaged Products or operating system Software. If Lessee fails to return all of the Products at the expiration of any applicable Lease Term, the Lease Term with respect to the Products that are not returned shall continue to be renewed as described in the Schedule. 8. RISK OF LOSS; MAINTENANCE; INSURANCE. (a) From the date the Products are delivered to Lessee s ship to location until the Products are returned to Lessor s designated return location or purchased by Lessee, Lessee agrees: (i) to assume the risk of loss or damage to the Products; (ii) to maintain the Products in good operating condition and appearance, ordinary wear and tear excepted; (iii) to comply with all requirements necessary to enforce all warranty rights; and (iv) to promptly repair any repairable damage to the Products. For the Lease Term, Lessee shall ensure that the Products are (i) covered by a manufacturer approved maintenance agreement, or (ii) with Lessor s prior consent, self maintained in accordance with the standards set forth herein. At all times, Lessee shall provide the following insurance: (i) casualty loss insurance for the Products for no less than the Stipulated Loss Value (defined below) naming Lessor as loss payee; and (ii) liability insurance with respect to the Products in an amount as required by Lessor, naming Lessor as an additional insured. Upon Lessor s prior written consent, Lessee may provide this insurance pursuant to Lessee s existing self insurance policy. Lessee shall either provide Lessor with an annual certificate of third party insurance or a written description of its self insurance policy, as applicable. The certificate of insurance will provide that Lessor shall receive at least ten (10) days prior written notice of any material change to or cancellation of the insurance policy. Lessee may make other alterations, additions or improvements to Products provided that any alteration, addition or improvement shall be readily removable and shall not materially impair the value or utility of the Product. Upon the return of any Product to Lessor, any alteration, addition or improvement that is not removed by Lessee shall become the property of Lessor, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. 10. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF LESSEE. (a) Lessee represents, warrants and covenants to Lessor at the time Lessee enters into this Agreement and each Schedule that: (i) Lessee is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and in all jurisdictions with respect to which its ownership or its conduct of business or leasing of property requires such qualification; (ii) The execution and delivery of and performance under this Agreement, any Schedules, Certificates of Incumbency or other documents related to a Lease ( Documents ) to which Lessee is a party have been authorized by all necessary action, and have been executed and delivered on Lessee's behalf by persons duly authorized in that regard.

(b) If any person guarantees payment or performance by Lessee of any liabilities or obligations of Lessee under this Agreement or any Schedule (a "Guarantor"), the preceding representations, warranties and covenants shall be deemed to be made by Lessee on behalf of such Guarantor as if such Guarantor were named in addition to Lessee therein. 11.

Each of (b) and (c) shall be calculated using the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago on the Commencement Date of the applicable Schedule. 9. ALTERATIONS. Lessee shall, at its expense, make such alterations to Products during the Lease Term as are legally required or provided at no charge by Seller.

Lessee acknowledges either (i) that Lessee has reviewed and approved any written supply contract covering the Products purchased from the Seller for lease to Lessee or (ii) that Lessor has informed or advised Lessee, in writing, either previously or by this Agreement, that Lessee may have rights under the supply contract evidencing the purchase of the Products and that Lessee should contact the Seller for a description of any such rights. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CONFERRED UPON A LESSEE BY ARTICLE 2A of the UCC. 12. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. It shall be an event of default hereunder and under any Schedule ("Event of Default") if: (a) Lessee fails to pay any Rent or other amounts payable under this Agreement or any Schedule within 15 days after the date that such payment is due; (b) Any representation or warranty made by Lessee or any Guarantor to Lessor in connection with this Agreement, any Schedule or any other Document is at the time made materially untrue or incorrect; (c) Lessee fails to comply with any other obligation or provision of this Agreement or any Schedule and such failure shall have continued for 30 days after notice from Lessor; (d) Lessee (i) is generally not paying its debts as they become due or (ii) takes action for the purpose of invoking the protection of any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any such law is invoked against or with respect to Lessee or its property and such petition is not dismissed within 60 days; or (e) Lessee or any Guarantor is in default under any other lease, contract, or obligation now existing or hereafter entered into with Lessor or Seller or any assignee of Lessor. 13.

This indemnity shall not extend to any Claim caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor. Lessee shall be responsible for the defense and resolution of such Claim at its expense and shall pay any amount for resolution and all costs and damages awarded against or incurred by Lessor or any other person indemnified hereunder; provided, however, that any person indemnified hereunder shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Claim with counsel of its choice and at its expense and to reasonably approve any such settlement. Lessee shall keep Lessor informed at all times as to the status of the Claim. 16. OWNERSHIP; LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES; LABELS.

(b) Lessee shall pay all costs incurred by Lessor in connection with an Event of Default, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, and all costs related to the repossession, transportation, re-furbishing, storage and Disposition of any or all Products ( Default Expenses ). In the event Lessor recovers proceeds from its Disposition of the Products, Lessor shall credit such proceeds (net of Default Expenses) against the owed Stipulated Loss Value. Lessee shall remain liable to Lessor for any deficiency. With respect to this Section, to the extent the proceeds of a Disposition (net of Default Expenses) exceed the Stipulated Loss Value owed under the Lease, or if Lessee has paid Lessor the Stipulated Loss Value, the Default Expenses and all other amounts owing under the Lease, Lessee shall be entitled to such excess and If Lessee fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any Schedule, Lessor shall have the right but not the obligation to effect such performance and Lessee shall promptly reimburse Lessor for all out of pocket and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such performance, with interest at the Overdue Rate. 18. NOTICES. All notices shall be given in writing and, except for billings and communications in the ordinary course of business, shall be delivered by overnight courier service, delivered personally or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested and shall be effective from the date of receipt unless mailed, in which case the effective date will be 4 Business Days after the date of mailing.
