by Seller as tenant under the Lease as hereinafter set forth). Those Contracts not assumed by Purchaser shall be terminated by Seller as of the Closing Date, except to the extent that Seller elects to keep such Contracts in effect as the tenant under the Lease, in which event Seller shall have no obligation to terminate such Contracts at Closing provided that such Contracts can be terminated without penalty and without cost to Purchaser on or prior to the expiration of the Lease.

Section 3.3 Purchaser’s Right to Terminate Agreement Prior to Approval Date. As used herein, the term “Due Diligence Period” shall mean the period expiring at 6:00 p.m. local time on the date which is the thirtieth (30^th) day after the Effective Date, and the last day of the Due Diligence Period is referred to herein as the “Approval Date”. Purchaser shall have the sole, exclusive, and unilateral right to terminate this Agreement and its obligations hereunder, for any or no reason whatsoever by providing written notice to Seller of such termination from Purchaser on or before the Approval Date. In the event that Purchaser fails to deliver written notice to Seller terminating this Agreement on or before to the Approval Date, such failure shall be deemed to be an election of Purchaser to proceed to Closing and to purchase the Property pursuant to the terms and conditions herein contained. If Purchaser timely terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.3, then the Escrow Agent is directed to release the Deposit to Seller within three (3) days of receipt of written notice of such termination and neither party shall have any further obligations or liability hereunder; provided, however, in the event Purchaser so terminates this Agreement due to the fact that its due diligence review during the Due Diligence Period discloses environmental contamination of the Real Property or structural damage or capital improvements (including major repair or replacement of building mechanical, electrical, or plumbing systems necessary for the operation of the Buildings as designed) required to meet governmental code or regulations to the Building (except for any roof damage) that will reasonably cost in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in aggregate to remedy or repair, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. Purchaser shall promptly provide to Seller copies of all reports, documents, or other materials (i) that show that such $500,000 threshold would be exceeded, or (ii) were prepared or obtained as part of its due diligence review. In addition, if Purchaser terminates this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Section then, upon the request of either party, Purchaser and Seller agree to execute a written release of this Agreement.

Section 3.4 Access. Seller agrees to provide Purchaser access to the Property following the Effective Date for the purpose of performing, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, studies, appraisals, physical inspections, investigations and tests on the Property (the “Tests”) provided (i) that no Tests shall be conducted in a manner as to disturb or unreasonably interfere with the current use of the Property, and (ii) that no Phase II or other invasive testing shall be conducted without the prior approval of Seller. Upon completion of such Tests, Purchaser agrees at its sole cost to restore the Property to substantially the condition it was in immediately prior to such Tests. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Seller), protect, and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage, or expense (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs) which Seller may sustain or incur for damage to property or injury to persons by reason of or in connection with any Tests made by Purchaser or Purchaser’s agents or contractors relating to or in connection with the Property, or entries by Purchaser or its agents or contractors onto the Property. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnity obligations of Purchaser under

this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the delivery of the deed and the transfer of title pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 3.5 Lease Negotiation. Both parties’ obligations under this Agreement are contingent upon the parties’ mutual agreement, on or before the twentieth (20^th) day after the Effective Date (the “Lease Approval Date”), on the form of the Lease of a portion of the Real Property more particularly described in Section 10.1(c) hereof. The parties agree to negotiate the final form of the Lease in good faith, which shall incorporate the terms set forth in Section 10.1 hereof, and shall otherwise contain such other terms as are customarily contained in commercial leases of this nature, taking into consideration the size, use, and location of the Leased Premises, as well as such other terms as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties. If, despite such good faith efforts, the parties have not agreed on the form of the Lease on or before the Lease Approval Date, either party may give written notice to the other party of the need to finalize the form of the Lease. In the event the parties are still unable, despite their continued good faith efforts, to agree upon the form of the Lease within five (5) business days of such notice, either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, whereupon the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser and the parties shall thereafter have no further obligations hereunder (except as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof).

Section 5.4 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Seller as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date:

(a) Organization and Authority of Purchaser. Purchaser has been duly organized and is in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ..

materially interfere with the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; and

(c) Agreement Binding. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights and by general principles of equity (whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity).

Section 5.5 Survival of Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in Section 5.4 shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be entitled to assert any claim against Purchaser with respect to the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser, or failure by Purchaser to perform its covenants, agreements and conditions under this Agreement, to the extent that Seller has actual knowledge of such inaccuracy or failure at or prior to the time of Closing, it being the intent and agreement of the parties that Seller shall not have the right or ability to consummate the Closing and thereafter assert a claim for breach of a warranty, representation, covenant, agreement or condition by Purchaser which Seller had actual knowledge of at or prior to Closing; provided, however, that Purchaser has promptly notified Seller in writing of any such inaccuracy or failure of which Purchaser had actual knowledge.

Section 6.2 Default by Seller.

ARTICLE VII.
RISK OF LOSS

Section 7.1 Casualty. Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1, Seller shall bear the risk of any damage to the Property between the Effective Date and the Closing Date. From the Effective Date to the Closing Date, Seller shall keep and maintain all insurance policies necessary for the operation for the operation of the Property. If the Property is damaged by fire, storm, flood, or any other casualty between the Effective Date and Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall obtain an estimate of the cost of repairing the damage from an established contractor selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Purchaser.

(a) If the estimated cost to repair such damage is less than $250,000, then the Closing shall be held in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and Seller shall assign its rights to any and all insurance proceeds to Purchaser or, if the insurance proceeds have been received by Seller, credit the Purchase Price the amount of such proceeds. If the estimated cost to repair such damage is equal to or more than $250,000, then either Purchaser or Seller may elect to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other given within five (5) business days after receipt of notice of the estimated cost of repair. If this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser or Seller within such five (5) business day period, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights, claims or obligations against one another arising out of this Agreement. If this Agreement is not so terminated, then the Closing shall be held in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and, at Purchaser discretion, Seller shall assign its right to all insurance proceeds to Purchaser or repair the damage at Seller’s sole cost and expense.

(b) All repairs to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with the original construction of the Property.

Section 7.2 Condemnation.

(a) If prior to the Closing any part of the Property is condemned or taken pursuant to any governmental or other power of eminent domain, or if written notice of taking or condemnation is issued with respect to any portion of the Property, or if proceedings are instituted or threatened in writing to be instituted by any governmental or other authority having the power of eminent domain with respect to any portion of the Property (any such event, a “Taking”), Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser as soon as Seller receives written notice of any such Taking. If the Taking is of all of the Real Property, or of a portion of the Real Property which would materially and adversely affect the Property or the use or value thereof or access thereto, then either Seller or Purchaser shall have the right, to be exercised within five (5) business days after receiving such notification, to terminate this Agreement effective upon written notice to the other party.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated within such five (5) business day period, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights, claims or obligations against one another arising out of this Agreement.

(c) If neither Seller or Purchaser has right to terminate or, if they have such right, they do not elect to terminate within the five (5) business day period, then Purchaser shall accept the Property net of the portion taken by the Taking. In such event, if the condemnation award in respect of the Taking is paid to Seller prior to the Closing, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the proceeds of the award received by, or on behalf of, Seller. If the award has not been paid to Seller as of the Closing Date, then Seller shall assign to Purchaser, without recourse, at the Closing, by documents reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, all rights of Seller to the award, in which case there shall be no adjustment in the Purchase Price by reason of the Taking.

ARTICLE VIII.

ARTICLE X.
LEASEBACK TO SELLER

Section 10.1 Negotiation of Lease. As a condition to the parties’ obligations hereunder, Seller and Purchaser (or their assignees hereunder) shall execute at Closing a lease agreement for the following-described portions of the Real Property (the “Lease”), with the Seller as the tenant and Purchaser as the landlord thereunder, under the following general terms and conditions:

(a) Initial Term: Twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date; provided, however, that if the Closing Date is extended by Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof, the term of the Lease may, at Seller’s option, be shortened by the same number of days that Closing is extended past April 1, 2005.

(b) Annual Base Rent: [***]

(i) all of Building 2; and

(ii) the manufacturing (not office) portion of Building 4 (the “Building 4 Space”), which includes the portion of said premises used by Seller for chip fabrication that is depicted on Schedule 10.1(c) hereto (the “Chip Fab Space”).

(d) Recapture of Building 4: Purchaser shall have the right to recapture all or portions of the Building 4 Space. For those portions of the Building 4 Space not included in the Chip Fab Space, Purchaser shall give Seller no less than sixty (60) days written notice of Purchaser’s intent to recapture such premises. For the Chip Fab Space, Purchaser shall give Seller no less than eighteen (18) weeks written notice of its intent to recapture such space. Seller may extend such notice period for recapture of the Chip Fab Space an additional four (4) weeks by written notice to Purchaser given within the initial eighteen (18) week period. Upon expiration of the applicable notice period (as the same may be extended), Seller shall deliver possession of the recaptured premises to Purchaser in the condition required by Section 4.8, hereof and the lease of such premises shall thereupon terminate.

(e) Access and Use Rights: Seller shall have the right to reasonable use of other portions of the Buildings as necessary to access the Leased Premises. Seller shall also have the right to access the Central Utilities Plant and the Command Center in order to operate the Leased Premises and to perform its obligations under the Lease, which space shall be considered common area. Seller shall also have the right to reasonable use, in common with Purchaser and other tenants, the dock area and the auditorium in Building 1, and shall coordinate such use with Purchaser. Seller’s access and use rights generally set forth herein shall be subject to further refinement and clarification, and to reasonable rules and restrictions concerning the joint use thereof by the parties and future tenants of the Buildings, as may be set forth in the Lease. The intention of these access and use rights is to permit Seller (or its assignee) to continue to use the Leased Premises in substantially the same manner as is currently the case and as is reasonably necessary to operate its business.

(f) Utilities/Operating Expenses: Seller shall pay for all utilities and services directly relating to its use and occupancy of the Leased Premises during the Lease term. Landlord shall be responsible for all other utilities and services for the remainder of the Buildings. The parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in an effort to minimize utility and other operating costs. Anything to the contrary in the foregoing notwithstanding, the parties agree to allocate the utility and other operating costs as set forth on Schedule 10.1(f) attached hereto (the “Cost Allocation”). Each party shall be responsible for the total amount of

*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

all cost items allocated to it on the Cost Allocation, which shall not be limited by the estimated amounts set forth thereon. For the “Shared Costs” set forth on the Cost Allocation, Seller shall be responsible for such costs during the initial Lease term, subject to payment by Purchaser of its fixed allocated amount of $13,388 per month ($160,656 annually) (“Purchaser’s Allocation”), which shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller in the form of a credit against monthly Base Rent payable under the Lease; provided, however, that in the event Seller (i) occupies any portion of the Building 4 Space, or (ii) has not removed its furniture, fixtures, or equipment from the Property (except for the Leased Premises) in accordance with Section 4.8 hereof, six (6) months following the Closing Date, Purchaser’s Allocation shall be reduced to $0 until such time as Seller vacates all of the Building 4 Space and/or removes such furniture, fixtures, and equipment, as the case may be, at which xxxx Xxxxxx shall again receive the monthly credit for Purchaser’s Allocation. Upon occupancy of any portion of the Buildings by a tenant other than Seller, Seller’s allocated share of the Shared Costs shall be equitably apportioned between Seller and such tenant(s), considering the nature and extent of their respective use of such utilities or services. Upon occupancy of any portion of the Buildings by a tenant other than Seller, Purchaser or Seller shall have the right to separately meter any utilities serving the Leased Premises, at its sole cost and expense, in which event Seller shall only be responsible for the cost of such metered utilities actually used in the Leased Premises, and not the amount allocated for such utilities by the Cost Allocation.

(g) Maintenance and Repair: Seller shall maintain and repair, at its sole cost and expense, the HVAC systems serving the Leased Premises (including all special air handling equipment used in connection with its processing activities on the Leased Premises), and all damage caused by Seller to the Leased Premises during the term of the Lease. Except as set forth in the Cost Allocation, Purchaser shall maintain, repair, and replace, at its sole cost and expense, the following items during the Lease term, the cost of which shall not be passed through to Seller under the Lease (except during any renewal term(s)): (a) all structural elements and the foundation of the Leased Premises; (b) the roof; and (c) all other maintenance, repair, and replacement expenses not specifically allocated to Seller herein.

(h) Insurance: Seller shall at all times during the Lease term maintain general commercial liability insurance in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence. Purchaser shall at all times be responsible to maintain, at its sole cost and expense, casualty insurance coverage on the Leased Premises for the full replacement cost thereof.

(i) Taxes: Purchaser shall be responsible for all taxes due on the Property (including the Leased Premises) from and after the Closing Date (except during any renewal term(s)). Seller shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to pursue any refund of any charges applicable to periods prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller, at no cost or expense to Purchaser, with respect to the same. Should any tax appeal be successful or any other cost saving measure as it pertains to the Property be achieved for periods prior to the Closing Date, such savings will inure solely to the benefit of Seller.

(j) Renewal Options: Provided that Seller (or its assignee of the Lease) is not then in default under the Lease and has not failed to timely pay (after any applicable grace or notice period) any installment of Base Rent during the initial Lease term,

Seller (or its assignee) shall have one of the following two renewal options with respect to the Leased Premises:

(1) One (1), five (5) year renewal option, exercisable on six (6) months advance written notice, on the same terms set forth above except that rent, utilities, and operating expenses payable during such renewal term shall be as follows:

1^st Year		[***]/sq. ft. NNN
2^nd Year		[***]/sq. ft NNN
3^rd Year		[***]/sq. ft. NNN
4^th Year		[***]/sq. ft. NNN
5^th Year		[***]/sq. ft. NNN.

(2) five (5), two (2) year renewal options, exercisable on six (6) months advance written notice, on the same terms set forth above except that rent, utilities, and operating expenses payable during such renewal term(s) shall be as follows:

1^st Renewal Term		[***]/sq. ft. NNN
2^nd Renewal Term		[***]/sq. ft NNN
3^rd Renewal Term		[***]/sq. ft. NNN
4^th Renewal Term		[***]/sq. ft. NNN
5^th Renewal Term		[***]/sq. ft. NNN.

The foregoing notwithstanding, Seller (or its assignee) shall have the right to convert the third (3^rd), fourth (4^th), and fifth (5^th) two (2) year renewal options set forth above to one (1) year options, upon giving Purchaser twelve (12) months notice prior to exercising each such one (1) year option. Upon Seller’s conversion of any of the third (3^rd), fourth (4^th), or fifth (5^th) options to a one (1) year option, each successive option shall thereafter automatically be converted to a one (1) year option.

(k) Surrender of Leased Premises: Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Seller shall surrender the Leased Premises in the condition required by Section 4.8 hereof, free and clear of all equipment, trade fixtures and personal property of Seller (and Seller shall repair any damage caused by the removal of such items). The foregoing notwithstanding, Seller shall have a reasonable period of time after Purchaser’s recapture of any portion of the Leased Premises in accordance with Section 10.1(d) hereof in which to remove its furniture, fixtures, and equipment from the recaptured premises.

(l) Assignment: Seller shall have the absolute right to assign the Lease in connection with the sale of Seller’s optoelectronics business without the consent of, but

upon notice to, Purchaser. Seller’s assignee may further assign the Lease only upon Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(m) Negotiation of Lease: Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith the form of Lease within the Lease Approval Period as contemplated by Section 3.5 hereof, which form shall incorporate the terms set forth above and shall otherwise contain such other terms as are customarily contained in commercial leases of this nature, taking into consideration, the size, use and location of the premises, as well as such other terms as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Upon approval of the form of Lease, the parties shall designate their approval thereof in writing and the form shall be attached as Exhibit F hereto.

(n) Guaranty: Seller’s obligations to pay Base Rent under the Lease for the initial twenty-four month term thereof shall be guaranteed by TQS. Upon any assignment of the Lease, Purchaser agrees to release TQS from such guaranty, provided that the Lease assignee or any other guarantor has a net worth equal to or greater than that of TQS as of the Closing Date. TQS shall not guaranty any obligations under the Lease during any renewal term(s).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the Effective Date.
