MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT
MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT (the "Master Lease") dated August 27, 1996 by and between
COMDISCO, INC. ("Lessor") and SELECT COMFORT CORPORATION("Lessee").
IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual agreements described below, the parties agree as
follows (all capitalized terms are defined in Section 14.18):
1. PROPERTY LEASED.
Lessor leases to Lessee all of the Equipment described on each Summary Equipment
Schedule. In the event of a conflict, the terms of the applicable Schedule
prevail over this Master Lease.
2. TERM.
On the Commencement Date, Lessee will be deemed to accept the Equipment, will be
bound to its rental obligations for each item of Equipment and the term of a
Summary Equipment Schedule will begin and continue through the Initial Term and
thereafter until terminated by either party upon prior written notice received
during the Notice Period. No termination may be effective prior to the
expiration of the Initial Term.
3. RENT AND PAYMENT
Rent is due and payable in advance on the first day of each Rent Interval at the
address specified in Lessor's invoice. Interim Rent is due and payable when
invoiced. If any payment is not made when due, Lessee will pay a Late Charge on
the overdue amount. Upon Lessee's execution of each Schedule, Lessee will pay
Lessor the Advance specified on the Schedule. The Advance will be credited
towards the final Rent payment if Lessee is not then in default. No interest
will be paid on the Advance.
4. SELECTION; WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.
4.1 SELECTION. Lessee acknowledges that it has selected the Equipment and
disclaims any reliance upon statements made by the Lessor, other than as set
forth in the Schedule.
4.2 WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. Lessor warrants to Lessee that,
so long as Lessee is not in default, Lessor will not disturb Lessee's quiet and
peaceful possession, and unrestricted use of the Equipment. To the extent
permitted by the manufacturer, Lessor assigns to Lessee during the term of the
Summary Equipment Schedule any manufacturer's warranties for the Equipment.
LESSOR MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE MERCHANTABILTY OF THE EQUIPMENT OR ITS
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Lessor is not responsible for any liability,
claim, loss, damage or expense of any kind (including strict liability in tort)
caused by the Equipment except for any loss or damage
<PAGE>
caused by the willful misconduct or negligent acts of Lessor. In no event is
Lessor responsible for special, incidental or consequential damages.
5. TITLE; RELOCATION OR SUBLEASE; AND ASSIGNMENT.
5.1 TITLE. Lessee holds the Equipment subject and subordinate to the rights
of the Owner, Lessor, any Assignee and any Secured Party. Lessee authorizes
Lessor, as Lessee's agent, and at Lessor's expense, to prepare, execute and file
in Lessee's name precautionary Uniform Commercial Code financing statements
showing the interest of the Owner, Lessor, and any Assignee or Secured Party in
the Equipment and to insert serial numbers in Summary Equipment Schedules as
appropriate. Lessee will, at its expense, keep the Equipment free and clear
from any liens or encumbrances of any kind (except any caused by Lessor) and
will indemnify and hold the Owner, Lessor, any Assignee and Secured Party
harmless from and against any loss caused by Lessee's failure to do so, except
where such is caused by Lessor.
5.2 RELOCATION OR SUBLEASE. Upon prior written notice, Lessee may relocate
Equipment to any location within the continental United States provided (i) the
Equipment will not be used by an entity exempt from federal income tax, and (ii)
all additional costs (including any administrative fees, additional taxes and
insurance coverage) are reconciled and promptly paid by Lessee.
Lessee may sublease the Equipment upon the reasonable consent of the Lessor and
the Secured Party. Such consent to sublease will be granted if: (i) Lessee
meets the relocation requirements set out above, (ii) the sublease is expressly
subject and subordinate to the terms of the Schedule, (iii) Lessee assigns its
rights in the sublease to Lessor and the Secured Party as additional collateral
and security, (iv) Lessee's obligation to maintain and insure the Equipment is
not altered, (v) all financing statements required to continue the Secured
Party's prior perfected security interest are filed, and (vi) Lessee executes
sublease documents acceptable to Lessor.
No relocation or sublease will relieve Lessee from any of its obligations under
this Master Lease and the relevant Schedule.
5.3 ASSIGNMENT BY LESSOR. The terms and conditions of each Schedule have
been fixed by Lessor in order to permit Lessor to sell and/or assign or transfer
its interest or grant a security interest in each Schedule and/or the Equipment
to a Secured Party or Assignee. In that event, the term Lessor will mean the
Assignee and any Secured Party. However, any assignment. sale, or other
transfer by Lessor will not relieve Lessor of its obligations to Lessee and will
not materially change Lessee's duties or materially increase the burdens or
risks imposed on Lessee. The Lessee consents to and will acknowledge such
assignments in a written notice given to Lessee. Lessee also agrees that:
(a) The Secured Party will be entitled to exercise all of Lessor's rights,
but will not be obligated to perform any of the obligations of Lessor. The
Secured Party will not disturb Lessee's quiet and peaceful possession and
unrestricted use of the Equipment so long as Lessee is not in default and the
Secured Party continues to receive all Rent payable under the Schedule; and
2
<PAGE>
(b) Lessee will pay all Rent and all other amounts payable to the Secured
Party, despite any defense or claim which it has against Lessor. Lessee
reserves its right to have recourse directly against Lessor for any defense or
claim;
(c) Subject to and without impairment of Lessee's leasehold rights in the
Equipment, Lessee holds the Equipment for the Secured Party to the extent of the
Secured Party's rights in that Equipment.
6. NET LEASE; TAXES AND FEES.
6.1 NET LEASE. Each Summary Equipment Schedule constitutes a net lease.
Lessee's obligation to pay Rent and all other amounts due hereunder is absolute
and unconditional and is not subject to any abatement, reduction, set-off,
defense, counterclaim, interruption, deferment or recoupment for any reason
whatsoever.
6.2 TAXES AND FEES. Lessee will pay when due or reimburse Lessor for all
taxes, fees or any other charges (together with any related interest or
penalties not arising from the negligence of Lessor) accrued for or arising
during the term of each Summary Equipment Schedule against Lessor, Lessee or the
Equipment by any governmental authority (except only Federal, state, local and
franchise taxes on the capital or the net income of Lessor). Lessor will file
all personal property tax returns for the Equipment and pay all such property
taxes due. Lessee will reimburse Lessor for property taxes within thirty (30)
days of receipt of an invoice.
7. CARE, USE AND MAINTENANCE; INSPECTION BY LESSOR.
7.1 CARE, USE AND MAINTENANCE. Lessee will maintain the Equipment in good
operating order and appearance, protect the Equipment from deterioration, other
than normal wear and tear, and will not use the Equipment for any purpose other
than that for which it was designed. If commercially available and considered
common business practice for each item of Equipment, Lessee will maintain in
force a standard maintenance contract with the manufacturer of the Equipment, or
another party acceptable to Lessor, and will provide Lessor with a complete copy
of that contract. If Lessee has the Equipment maintained by a party other than
the manufacturer or self maintains, Lessee agrees to pay any costs necessary for
the manufacturer to bring the Equipment to then current release, revision and
engineering change levels, and to re-certify the Equipment as eligible for
manufacturer's maintenance at the expiration of the lease term, provided
recertification is available and is required by Lessor. The lease term will
continue upon the same terms and conditions until recertification has been
obtained.
7.2 INSPECTION BY LESSOR. Upon reasonable advance notice, Lessee, during
reasonable business hours and subject to Lessee's security requirements, will
make the Equipment and its related log and maintenance records available to
Lessor for inspection.

(a) The Lessee is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, is duly
qualified to do business in each jurisdiction (including the jurisdiction where

constitute legal, valid and binding agreements of the Lessee, enforceable in
accordance with their terms, subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy and
other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and rules of law
concerning equitable remedies.
(c) There are no actions, suits, proceedings or patent claims pending or, to
the knowledge of Lessee, threatened against or affecting the Lessee in any court
or before any governmental commission, board or authority which, if adversely
determined, will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Lessee to

Lessee will not be or become fixtures under applicable law.
(e) The Lessee has no material liabilities or obligations, absolute or

access to, or can become licensed on reasonable terms under all patents, patent
applications, trademarks, trade names, inventions, franchises, licenses,

business as now conducted, with no known, infringement of, or conflict with, the

9. DELIVERY AND RETURN OF EQUIPMENT.
Lessee hereby assumes the full expense of transportation and in-transit
insurance to Lessee's premises and installation thereat of the Equipment. Upon
termination (by expiration or otherwise) of each Summary Equipment Schedule,
Lessee shall, pursuant to Lessor's instructions and at Lessee's full expense
(including, without limitation, expenses of transportation and in-transit
insurance), return the Equipment to Lessor in the same operating order, repair,
condition and appearance as when received, less normal depreciation and wear and
tear. Lessee shall return the Equipment to Lessor at 6111 North River Road,
Rosemont, Illinois 60018 or at such other address within the continental United
States as directed by Lessor, provided, however, that Lessee's expense shall be
limited to the cost of returning the equipment to Lessor's address as set forth
herein. During the period subsequent to receipt of a notice under Section 2,
Lessor may demonstrate the Equipment's operation in place and Lessee will supply
any of its personnel as may reasonably be required to assist in the
demonstrations.
10. LABELING.
Upon request, Lessee will mark the Equipment indicating Lessor's interest with
labels provided by Lessor. Lessee will keep all Equipment free from any other
marking or labeling which might be interpreted as a claim of ownership.
11. INDEMNITY.
With regard to bodily injury and property damage liability only, Lessee will
indemnify and hold Lessor, any Assignee and any Secured Party harmless from and
against any and all claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of the ownership (for strict liability
in tort only), selection, possession, leasing, operation, control, use,
maintenance, delivery, return or other disposition of the Equipment during the
term of this Master Lease or until Lessee's obligations under the Master Lease
terminate. However, Lessee is not responsible to a party indemnified hereunder
for any claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities occasioned by the
negligent acts of such indemnified party. Lessee agrees to carry bodily injury
and property damage liability insurance during the term of the Master Lease in
amounts and against risks customarily insured against by the Lessee on equipment
owned by it. Any amounts received by Lessor under that insurance will be
credited against Lessee's obligations under this Section.
12. RISK OF LOSS.
Effective upon delivery and until the Equipment is returned, Lessee relieves
Lessor of responsibility for all risks of physical damage to or loss or
destruction of the Equipment. Lessee will carry casualty insurance for each
item of Equipment in an amount not less than the Casualty Value. All policies
for such insurance will name the Lessor and any Secured Party as additional
insured and as loss payee, and will provide for at least thirty (30) days prior
written notice to the Lessor of cancellation or expiration, and will insure
Lessor's interests regardless of any breach or violation by Lessee of any
representation, warranty or condition contained in such policies and
5
<PAGE>
will be primary without right of contribution from any insurance effected by
Lessor. Upon the execution of any Schedule, the Lessee will furnish
appropriate evidence of such insurance acceptable to Lessor.
Lessee will promptly repair any damaged item of Equipment unless such Equipment
has suffered a Casualty Loss. Within fifteen (15) days of a Casualty Loss,
Lessee will provide written notice of that loss to Lessor and Lessee will, at
Lessee's option, either (a) replace the item of Equipment with Like Equipment
and marketable title to the Like Equipment will automatically vest in Lessor or
(b) pay the Casualty Value and after that payment and the payment of all other
amounts due and owing with respect to the item of Equipment, Lessee's obligation
to pay further Rent for the item of Equipment will cease.
13. DEFAULT, REMEDIES AND MITIGATION.
13.1 DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following Events of
Default constitutes a default under a Summary Equipment Schedule:
(a) Lessee's failure to pay Rent or other amounts payable by Lessee when due
if that failure continues for five (5) business days after written notice; or
(b) Lessee's failure to perform any other term or condition of the Schedule
or the material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Lessee
in the Schedule or in any document or certificate furnished to the Lessor
hereunder if that failure or inaccuracy continues for ten (10) business days
after written notice; or
(c) An assignment by Lessee for the benefit of its creditors, the failure by
Lessee to pay its debts when due, the insolvency of Lessee, the filing by Lessee
or the filing against Lessee of any petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency
law or for the appointment of a trustee or other officer with similar powers,
the adjudication of Lessee as insolvent, the liquidation of Lessee, or the
taking of any action for the purpose of the foregoing; or
(d) The occurrence of an Event of Default under any Schedule, Summary
Equipment Schedule or other agreement between Lessee and Lessor or its Assignee
or Secured Party.
13.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any of the above Events of Default,
Lessor, at its option, may:
(a) enforce Lessee's performance of the provisions of the applicable Schedule
by appropriate court action in law or in equity;
(b) recover from Lessee any damages and or expenses, including Default Costs;
(c) with notice and demand, recover all sums due and accelerate and recover
the present value of the remaining payment stream of all Rent due under the
defaulted Schedule (discounted at the same rate of interest at which such
defaulted Schedule was discounted with a Secured Party plus any prepayment fees
charged to Lessor by the Secured Party or, if there is no Secured
6
<PAGE>
Party, then discounted at 6%) together with all Rent and other amounts
currently due as liquidated damages and not as a penalty;
(d) with notice and process of law and in compliance with Lessee's security
requirements, Lessor may enter on Lessee's premises to remove and repossess the
Equipment without being liable to Lessee for damages due to the repossession,
except those resulting from Lessor's, its assignees', agents' or
representatives' negligence; and
(e) pursue any other remedy permitted by law or equity.
The above remedies, in Lessor's discretion and to the extent permitted by law,
are cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently.
13.3 MITIGATION. Upon return of the Equipment pursuant to the terms of
Section 13.2, Lessor will use its best efforts in accordance with its normal
business procedures (and without obligation to give any priority to such
Equipment) to mitigate Lessor's damages as described below. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH
IN THIS SECTION, LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS NOW OR HEREAFTER CONFERRED BY
STATUTE OR OTHERWISE WHICH MAY REQUIRE LESSOR TO MITIGATE ITS DAMAGES OR MODIFY
ANY OF LESSOR'S RIGHTS OR REMEDIES STATED HEREIN. Lessor may sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Equipment at a public or private
sale for cash or credit with the privilege of purchasing the Equipment. The
proceeds from any sale, lease or other disposition of the Equipment are defined
as either:
(a) if sold or otherwise disposed of, the cash proceeds less the Fair Market
Value of the Equipment at the expiration of the Initial Term less the Default
Costs; or
(b) if leased, the present value (discounted at 3 percent (3%) over the U.S.
Treasury Notes of comparable maturity to the term of the re-lease) of the
rentals for a term not to exceed the Initial Term, less the Default Costs.
Any proceeds will be applied against liquidated damages and any other sums due
to Lessor from Lessee. However, Lessee is liable to Lessor for, and Lessor may
recover, the amount by which the proceeds are less than the liquidated damages
and other sums due to Lessor from Lessee.
14. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS.
14.1 BOARD ATTENDANCE. One representative of Lessor will have the right to

minutes of each Board of Directors meeting within thirty (30) days following the
date of such meeting held during the term of this Master Lease.
14.2 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. As soon as practicable at the end of each month
(and in any event within thirty (30) days), Lessee will provide to Lessor the
same information which Lessee
7
<PAGE>
provides to its Board of Directors, but which will include not less than a
monthly income statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flows prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently
applied (the "Financial Statements"). As soon as practicable at the end of
each fiscal year, Lessee will provide to Lessor audited Financial Statements
setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures for the fiscal
year (and in any event within ninety (90) days), and accompanied by an audit
report and opinion of the independent certified public accountants selected
by Lessee. Lessee will promptly furnish to Lessor any additional information
(including, but not limited to, tax returns, income statements, balance
sheets and names of principal creditors) as Lessor reasonably believes
necessary to evaluate Lessee's continuing ability to meet financial
obligations. After the effective date of the initial registration statement
covering a public offering of Lessee's securities, the term "Financial
Statements" will be deemed to refer to only those statements required by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
14.3 OBLIGATION TO LEASE ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT. Upon notice to Lessee, Lessor
will not be obligated to lease any Equipment which would have a Commencement
Date after said notice if: (i) Lessee is in default under this Master Lease or
any Schedule; (ii) Lessee is in default under any loan agreement, the result of
which would allow the lender or any secured party to demand immediate payment of
any material indebtedness; (iii) there is a material adverse change in Lessee's
credit standing; or (iv) Lessor determines (in reasonable good faith) that
Lessee will be unable to perform its obligations under this Master Lease or any
Schedule.
14.4 MERGER AND SALE PROVISIONS. Lessee will notify Lessor of any proposed
Merger at least sixty (60) days prior to the closing date. Lessor may, in its
discretion, either (i) consent to the assignment of the Master Lease and all
relevant Schedules to the successor entity, or (ii) terminate the Lease and all
relevant Schedules. If Lessor elects to consent to the assignment, Lessee and
its successor will sign the assignment documentation provided by Lessor. If
Lessor elects to terminate the Master Lease and all relevant Schedules, then
Lessee will pay Lessor all amounts then due and owing and a termination fee
equal to the present value (discounted at 6%) of the remaining Rent for the
balance of the Initial Term(s) of all Schedules, and will return the Equipment
in accordance with Section 9. Lessor hereby consents to any Merger in which the
acquiring entity has a Moody's Bond Rating of BA3 or better or a commercially
acceptable equivalent measure of creditworthiness as reasonably determined by
Lessor.
14.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Master Lease and associated Schedules and Summary
Equipment Schedules supersede all other oral or written agreements or
understandings between the parties concerning the Equipment including, for
example, purchase orders. ANY AMENDMENT OF THIS MASTER LEASE OR A SCHEDULE, MAY
ONLY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY A WRITING SIGNED BY THE PARTY AGAINST WHOM THE AMENDMENT
IS SOUGHT TO BE ENFORCED.
14.6 NO WAIVER. No action taken by Lessor or Lessee will be deemed to
constitute a waiver of compliance with any representation, warranty or covenant
contained in this Master Lease or a Schedule. The waiver by Lessor or Lessee of
a breach of any provision of this Master Lease or a Schedule will not operate or
be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.
8
<PAGE>
14.7 BINDING NATURE. Each Schedule is binding upon, and inures to the benefit
of Lessor and its assigns. LESSEE MAY NOT ASSIGN ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS.
14.8 SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. All agreements, obligations including, but not
limited to those arising under Section 6.2, representations and warranties
contained in this Master Lease, any Schedule, Summary Equipment Schedule or in
any document delivered in connection with those agreements are for the benefit
of Lessor and any Assignee or Secured Party and survive the execution, delivery,
expiration or termination of this Master Lease.
14.9 NOTICES. Any notice, request or other communication to either party by
the other will be given in writing and deemed received upon the earlier of (1)
actual receipt or (2) three days after mailing if mailed postage prepaid by
regular or airmail to Lessor (to the attention of "the Comdisco Venture Group")
or Lessee, at the address set out in the Schedule, (3) one day after it is sent
by courier or (4) on the same day as sent via facsimile transmission, provided
that the original is sent by personal delivery or mail by the sending party.

BEEN MADE, EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND WILL BE GOVERNED
AND CONSTRUED FOR ALL PURPOSES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF

Original" can transfer Lessor's rights and all other counterparts will be marked
