charges attributable to Borrower which can create liens on any portion
of the Property (to the full extent of any such taxes, assessments or

entitled HAZARDOUS MATERIALs, any representation or warranty of
Borrower under such Article proving to have been untrue when made, or

the Property which are discovered subsequent to the Effective Date. In

right Lender might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against
Borrower; (ii) any suit or action in connection with the preservation,
enforcement or foreclosure of the liens, mortgages, assignments and
security interests now or at any time hereafter securing the payment

any of the Loan Documents; or (iii) the collection of amounts which
may become owing or payable under or on account of insurance,
condemnation awards or damages for other public actions or surety
bonds maintained or provided by Borrower; provided, however, that the
assertion by Lender of any such right, suit, action or collection of
amounts shall not result in a monetary claim upon the general assets
of Borrower except as otherwise provided herein.

take any other action under the Loan Documents shall be subject at all

provision) with respect to the environmental condition of the real
property security is intended by Lender and Borrower to be an
"environmental provision" for purposes of California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 736, and as such it is expressly understood that
Borrower's duty to indemnify Lender hereunder shall survive: (a) any
judicial or non-judicial foreclosure under the Deed of Trust, or
transfer of the Property in lieu thereof, (b) the release and
reconveyance or cancellation of the Deed of Trust; and (c) the
satisfaction of all of Borrower's obligation under the Loan Documents.

(i) HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. The discovery of any new significant
Hazardous Materials in, on or about the Property subsequent to
the Effective Date that were not previously disclosed to Lender.
Any such Hazardous Materials shall be "significant" for this

value of the Property.

the continuation of a Default specified in Section 10.1(f) or
Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable,
without presentment, demand,
Page 10

protest, notice or other requirements of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by Borrower. Upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of any Default specified in this Article, other than
a Default under Section 10.1(f) or Section 10.1(g), Lender may, at its
sole option, declare all sums owing to Lender under the Note, this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents immediately due and payable.
Upon such acceleration, Lender may, in addition to all other remedies
permitted under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and at law
or equity, apply any sums in the Account to the sums owing under the
Loan Documents and any and all obligations of Lender to fund further
disbursements under the Loan shall terminate.

Loan, Borrower shall immediately deposit with Lender, upon written
demand, an amount equal to such payment. If such payment is made from
funds of Lender, Borrower shall immediately repay such funds upon
written demand of Lender. In either case, the Default with respect to
which any such payment has been made by Lender shall not be deemed
cured until such deposit or repayment (as the case may be) has been
made by Borrower to Lender.
10.4 REPAYMENT OF FUNDS ADVANCED. Any funds expended by Lender in the
exercise of its rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall be payable to Lender upon demand, together with
interest at the rate applicable to the principal balance of the Note
from the date the funds were expended.
10.5 RIGHTS CUMULATIVE, NO WAIVER. All Lender's rights and remedies
provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with
those granted by law or at equity, are intended to be cumulative and
may, to the full extent permitted by law, be exercised by Lender at
any time. Lender's exercise of any right or remedy shall not
constitute a cure of any Default unless all sums then due and payable
to Lender under the Loan Documents are repaid and Borrower has cured
all other Defaults. No waiver shall be implied from any failure of
Lender to take, or any delay by Lender in taking, action concerning
any Default or failure of condition under the Loan Documents, or from
any previous waiver of any similar or unrelated Default or failure of
condition. Any waiver or approval under any of the Loan Documents must
be in writing and shall be limited to its specific terms.
10.6 POST-DEFAULT ACCESS. Upon the commencement of a nonjudicial or
judicial foreclosure, Foothill Capital Corporation, as agents for the
lender to Communications & Power Industries, Inc. ("Tenant's Lender"),
shall have up to sixty (60) calendar days in which to enter the

Lender (i) pays rent to Lender at a fair market rate for its occupancy
of the Property on a pro rated daily basis; (ii) agrees to defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Lender, it's directors, officers,
employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all
direct losses, claims, damages and liabilities (excluding
consequential or incidental damages) which Lender may incur as a
result of Tenant's Lender's actions or omissions while in occupancy;
and (iii) immediately repairs and restores, at its sole cost and
expense, any and all damage caused by the removal of said personal
property.

INDEMNITY, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST FROM THE DATE THE INDEBTEDNESS
ARISES UNTIL PAID AT THE RATE OF INTEREST APPLICABLE TO THE PRINCIPAL
BALANCE OF THE NOTE.
11.2 FORM OF DOCUMENTS. The form and substance of all documents,
instruments, and forms of evidence to be delivered to Lender under the
terms of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents shall be

11.3 NO THIRD PARTIES BENEFITED. No person other than Lender and Borrower
and their permitted successors and assigns shall have any right of
action under any of the Loan Documents.
11.4 NOTICES. All notices, demands, or other communications under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be in writing and shall

notices, demands or other communications shall be considered as
properly given if delivered personally or sent by first class United
States Postal Service mail, postage prepaid, except that notice of
Default may be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by
Overnight Express Mail or by overnight commercial courier service,
charges prepaid. Notices so sent shall be effective three (3) days
after mailing, if mailed by first class mail, and otherwise upon
receipt; provided, however, that non-receipt of any communication as
the result of any change of address of which the sending party was not
notified or as the result of a refusal to accept delivery shall be
deemed receipt of such communication.
11.5 ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes
Lender, as Borrower's attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with
an interest, to execute and/or record in Lender's or Borrower's name
any notices, instruments or documents that Lender deems appropriate to
protect Lender's interest under any of the Loan Documents.
11.6 ACTIONS. Borrower agrees that Lender, in exercising the rights, duties
or liabilities of Lender or Borrower under the Loan Documents, may
commence, appear in or defend any action or proceeding purporting to
affect the Property, or the Loan Documents and Borrower shall
immediately reimburse Lender upon demand for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses so incurred or paid by Lender, including,
without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys' fees and
expenses and court costs.
11.7 RIGHT OF CONTEST. Borrower may contest in good faith any claim,
demand, levy or assessment by any person other than Lender which would
constitute a Default if: (a) Borrower pursues the contest diligently,
in a manner which Lender determines is not prejudicial to Lender, and
does not impair the rights of Lender under any of the Loan Documents;
and (b) Borrower deposits with Lender any funds or other forms of
assurance which Lender in good faith determines from time to time
appropriate to protect Lender from the consequences of the contest
being unsuccessful. Borrower's compliance with this Section shall
operate to prevent such claim, demand, levy or assessment from
becoming a Default.
11.8 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. The relationship of Borrower and Lender under
the Loan Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of
borrower and lender, and Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any
responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any third party with respect
to the Property, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents.
11.9 DELAY OUTSIDE LENDER'S CONTROL. Lender shall not be liable in any way
to Borrower or any third party for Lender's failure to perform or
delay in performing under the Loan Documents if such failure to
perform or delay in performing results directly or indirectly from, or
is based upon, the action, inaction, or purported action, of any
governmental or local authority, or because of war, rebellion,
insurrection, strike, lock-out, boycott or blockade (whether presently
in effect, announced or in the reasonable judgment of Lender deemed
probable), or from any Act of God or other cause or event beyond
Lender's control.
Page 12

11.10 ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES; ENFORCEMENT. If any attorney is engaged
by Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Agreement, any of
the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, or as a
consequence of any Default under the Loan Documents, with or without
the filing of any legal action or proceeding, and including, without
limitation, any reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in
any bankruptcy proceeding of the Borrower, then Borrower shall
immediately pay to Lender, upon demand, the amount of all reasonable
out-of-pocket attorneys' fees and expenses and all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lender in connection therewith,
together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until paid
at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the
Note as specified therein.
11.11 IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FUNDS. Unless otherwise expressly provided for
in this Agreement, all amounts payable by Borrower to Lender shall be
payable only in United States currency, immediately available funds.
11.12 LENDER'S CONSENT. Wherever in this Agreement there is a requirement
for Lender's consent and/or a document to be provided or an action
taken "to the satisfaction of Lender", it is understood by such phrase
that Lender shall exercise its consent, right or judgment in a
reasonable manner given the specific facts and circumstance applicable
at the time.
11.13 LOAN SALES AND PARTICIPATION; DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Borrower
agrees that Lender may elect, at any time, to sell, assign or grant
participation in all or any portion of its rights and obligations
under the Loan Documents, and that any such sale, assignment or
participation may be to one or more financial institutions, private
investors, and/or other entities, at Lender's sole discretion
("Participant"). Borrower further agrees that Lender may disseminate
to any such actual or potential purchaser(s), assignee(s) or
participant(s) all documents and information (including, without
limitation, all financial information) which has been or is hereafter
provided to or known to Lender with respect to: (a) the Property and
its operation; (b) any party connected with the Loan (including,
without limitation, the Borrower, any partner of Borrower, any
constituent partner or member of Borrower; and/or (c) any lending
relationship other than the Loan which Lender may have with any party
connected with the Loan. In the event of any such sale, assignment or
participation, Lender and the parties to such transaction shall share
in the rights and obligations of Lender as set forth in the Loan
Documents only as and to the extent they agree among themselves. In
connection with any such sale, assignment or participation, Borrower
further agrees that the Loan Documents shall be sufficient evidence of
the obligations of Borrower to each purchaser, assignee, or
participant, and upon written request by Lender, Borrower shall enter
into such amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents as may be
reasonably required in order to evidence any such sale, assignment or
participation. The indemnity obligations of Borrower under the Loan
Documents shall also apply with respect to any purchaser, assignee or
participant.
11.14 CAPITAL ADEQUACY. If Lender or any Participant in the Loan, or either
of them, determines that compliance with any law or regulation or with
any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental
agency (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would
affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by
Lender or such Participant, or any corporation controlling Lender or
such Participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, Lender's
or such Participant's or such corporation's commitments or its making
or maintaining advances below the rate which Lender or such
Participant or such corporation controlling Lender could have achieved
but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of Lender or
such Participant or corporation with regard to capital), then Borrower
shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) calendar days after
written demand by Lender or such Participant, pay to Lender or such
Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender or such
Participant or such corporation controlling Lender to the extent that
Lender determines such increase in capital is allocable to Lender's
obligations hereunder, provided that such demand is made of similar
borrowers under loan documents containing similar provisions as those
contained in the Loan Documents. A certificate as to such amounts,
submitted to Borrower by Lender or such Participant, shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
11.15 LENDER'S AGENTS. Lender may designate an agent or independent
contractor to exercise any of Lender's rights under this Agreement and
any of the other Loan Documents. Any reference to Lender in any of the
Loan Documents shall include Lender's agents, employees or independent
contractors.
Page 13
16

either directly to such person or to Lender in reimbursement of such
costs, as applicable.
11.16 TAX SERVICE. Lender is authorized to secure, at Borrower's expense, a
tax service contract with a third party vendor which shall provide tax
information on the Property satisfactory to Lender.
11.17 ARBITRATION.
(a) ARBITRATION. Upon the demand of any party, any dispute shall be
resolved by binding arbitration (except as set forth in
Paragraphs 11.17(e) and 11.17(f) below) in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. A "Dispute" shall mean any action,
dispute, claim or controversy of any kind, whether in contract or
tort, statutory or common law, legal or equitable, now existing
or hereafter arising under or in connection with, or in any way
pertaining to, this Agreement and each other document, contract
and instrument required hereby or now or hereafter delivered to
Lender in connection herewith, or any past, present or future
extensions of credit and other activities, transactions or
obligations of any kind related directly or indirectly to any of
the foregoing documents, including without limitation, any of the
foregoing arising in connection with the exercise of any
self-help, ancillary or other remedies pursuant to any of the
foregoing documents. Any party may by summary proceedings bring
an action in court to compel arbitration of a Dispute. Any party
who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a lawful
demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses
incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any
Dispute.
(b) GOVERNING RULES. Arbitration proceedings shall be administered by
the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or such other
administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon in
accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. All
Disputes submitted to arbitration shall be resolved in accordance
with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States
Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in
any of the foregoing documents. The arbitration shall be
conducted at a location in California selected by the AAA or
other administrator. If there is any inconsistency between the
terms hereof and any such rules, the terms and procedures set
forth herein shall control. All statutes of limitation applicable
to any Dispute shall apply to any arbitration proceeding. All
discovery activities shall be expressly limited to matters
directly relevant to the Dispute being arbitrated. Judgment upon
any award rendered in an arbitration may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction; provided however, that nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank
of the protections afforded to it under Section 91 of Title 12 of
the United States Code or any similar applicable state law.
(c) NO WAIVER; PROVISIONAL REMEDIES, SELF-HELP AND FORECLOSURE. No
provision hereof shall limit the right of any party to exercise
self-help remedies such as setoff, foreclosure against or sale of
any real or personal property collateral or security, or to
obtain provisional or ancillary remedies, including without
limitation, injunctive relief, sequestration, attachment,
garnishment or the appointment of a receiver from a court of
competent jurisdiction before, after or during the pendency of
any arbitration or other proceeding. The exercise of any such
remedy shall not waive the right of any party to compel
arbitration or reference hereunder.
(d) ARBITRATOR QUALIFICATIONS AND POWERS; AWARDS. Arbitrators must be
active members of the California State Bar or retired judges of
the state or federal judiciary of California, with expertise in
the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the
Dispute. Arbitrators are empowered to resolve Disputes by summary
rulings in response to motions filed prior to the final
arbitration hearing. Arbitrators (i) shall resolve all Disputes
in accordance with the substantive law of the State of
California, (ii) may grant any remedy or relief that a court of
the State of California could order or grant within the scope
hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make
effective any award, and (iii) shall have the power to award
recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take
such other actions as they deem necessary to the same extent a
judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the
California Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Any
Dispute in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000 or less
shall be decided by a single arbitrator who shall not render an
award of greater than $5,000,000 (including damages, costs, fees
and expenses). By submission to a single arbitrator, each party
expressly waives any right or
Page 14
17
claim to recover more than $5,000,000. Any Dispute in which the
amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000 shall be decided by
majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however,
that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all
hearings and deliberations.
(e) JUDICIAL REVIEW. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
in any arbitration in which the amount in controversy exceeds
$25,000,000, the arbitrators shall be required to make specific,
written findings of fact and conclusions of law. In such
arbitrations (i) the arbitrators shall not have the power to make
any award which is not supported by substantial evidence or which
is based on legal error, (ii) an award shall not be binding upon
the parties unless the findings of fact are supported by
substantial evidence and the conclusions of law are not erroneous
under the substantive law of the State of California, and (iii)
the parties shall have in addition to the grounds referred to in
the Federal Arbitration Act for vacating, modifying or correcting
an award the right to judicial review of (1) whether the findings
of fact rendered by the arbitrators are supported by substantial
evidence, and (2) whether the conclusions of law are erroneous
under the substantive law of the State of California. Judgment
confirming an award in such a proceeding may be entered only if a
court determines the award is supported by substantial evidence
and not based on legal error under the substantive law of the
State of California.
(f) REAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL; JUDICIAL REFERENCE. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no Dispute shall be submitted to
arbitration if the Dispute concerns indebtedness secured directly
or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any real property unless
(i) the holder of the mortgage, lien or security interest
specifically elects in writing to proceed with the arbitration,
or (ii) all parties to the arbitration waive any rights or
benefits that might accrue to them by virtue of the single action
rule statute of California, thereby agreeing that all
indebtedness and obligations of the parties, and all mortgages,
liens and security interests securing such indebtedness and
obligations, shall remain fully valid and enforceable. If any
such Dispute is not submitted to arbitration, the Dispute shall
be referred to a referee in accordance with California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq., and this general reference
agreement is intended to be specifically enforceable in
accordance with said Section 638. A referee with the
qualifications required herein for arbitrators shall be selected
pursuant to the AAA's selection procedures. Judgment upon the
decision rendered by a referee shall be entered in the court in
which such proceeding was commenced in accordance with California
Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645.
(g) MISCELLANEOUS. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the
arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to
conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing
of the Dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an
arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or
