of the said Premises to the Tenant at the commencement of the term hereof, this
Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for
any loss or damage resulting therefrom, nor shall the expiration date of the
above term be in any way extended, but in that event, all rent shall be abated
during the period between the commencement of said term and the time when
Landlord delivers possession.
b. In the event that Landlord shall permit Tenant to occupy the Premises
prior to the commencement date of the term, such occupancy shall be subject to
all the provisions of this Lease. Said early possession shall not advance the

commencement of the term of this Lease. Said sum shall be held by Landlord as

hereof. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease,
including, but not limited to the provisions relating to the payment of rent,
Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain rent or any
other sum in default or for the payment of any amount of Tenant's default. If
any portion of said deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall within five days
after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount
sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount and Tenant's
failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be
required to keep this security deposit separate from its general funds, and
Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit. If Tenant shall fully
and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the
security deposit or any balance thereof shall be [illegible] to Tenant (or, at
Landlord's option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) at the
expiration of the Lease term. In the event of termination of Landlord's interest
in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer said deposit to Landlord's successor in
interest.

event of said expenses decrease shall be immediately rebated by Landlord to
Tenant.
8. USE. Tenant shall use the Premises for office-warehouse and/or manufacturing
purposes, and shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other
purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord.
Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises
nor bring or keep anything herein which will in any way increase the existing
rate or affect any fire or other insurance upon the Building or any of its
contents, or cause cancellation of any insurance policy covering said Building
or any part thereof or any of its contents. Tenant shall not do or permit
anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or
interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the building or
injure or annoy them or use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper,
immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or
permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or
suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises.
9. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit anything to

hereafter be enacted or promulgated. Tenant shall, at its sole costs and
expense, promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental
rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in
force, and with the requirements of any board of fire insurance underwriters or
other similar bodies now or hereafter constituted, relating to, or affecting the
condition, use or occupancy of the Premises, excluding structural changes not
related to or affected by Tenant's improvements or acts. The judgment against
Tenant, whether the Landlord be a party thereto or not, that tenant has violated
any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation or requirement,
shall be conclusive of that fact as between the Landlord and Tenant.
10. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS. Tenant shall not make or suffer to be made any
alterations, additions or improvements to or of the Premises or any part thereof
without the consent of Landlord first had and obtained, and any alterations,
additions or improvements to or of said Premises, including, but not limited to,
wall covering, paneling and built-in cabinet work, but excepting movable
furniture and trade fixtures, shall on the expiration of the term become a part
of the realty and belong to the Landlord and shall be surrendered with the
Premises. In the event Landlord consents to the making of any alterations,
additions or improvements to the Premises by Tenant, the same shall be made by
Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and an contractor or person selected
by Tenant to make the same must first be approved by the Landlord. Upon the
expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof, Tenant shall, prior to the
written demand by the Landlord, given at least thirty (30) days prior to the end
of the term, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, forthwith and with all due
diligence, remove any alterations, additions, or improvements made which have
been designated by the Landlord to be removed, and repair any damage to the
Premises caused by such removal.
11. REPAIRS.
a. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have
accepted the Premises as being in good, sanitary order, condition and repair.
Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, keep the Premises and every
part thereof in good condition and repair, damage thereto from causes beyond the
reasonable control of Tenant and ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall
upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease hereof surrender the
Premises to the Landlord in good condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage
from causes beyond the reasonable control of Tenant excepted. Except as
specifically provided in an addendum, if any, to this Lease, Landlord shall have
no obligation whatsoever to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint
the Premises or any part thereof, and the parties hereto affirm that Landlord
has made no representations to Tenant respecting the condition of the Premises
or the Building except as specifically herein set forth.
-4-

12. LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises and property in which the Premises are
situated free from any liens out of any work performed, materials furnished or
obligations incurred by Tenant. Landlord may require, at Landlord's sole option,
that Tenant shall provide to Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a lien
and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half (1 1/2) times any and
all estimated cost of improvements, additions, or alterations in the Premises,
to insure Landlord against any liability for mechanics' and materialmen's liens
and to insure completion of the work.
13. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not either voluntarily or by
operation of law, assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber
this Lease or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the said Premises or
any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any
other person (the employees, agents, servants and invitees of Tenant excepted)
to occupy or use the said Premises, or any portion thereof, without the written
consent of Landlord first had and obtained, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and a consent to one assignment, subletting, occupation
or use by any other person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent
assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another person. Any such assignment
or subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall, at the option of
the Landlord, constitute a default under this Lease.
14. HOLD HARMLESS. Tenant shall identify and hold harmless Landlord against and
from any and all claims arising from Tenant's use of the Premises for the
conduct of its business or from any activity, work, or other thing done,
permitted or suffered by the Tenant in or about the Building, and shall further
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all claims arising
from any breach or default in the performance of any obligations on Tenant's
part to be performed under the terms of this lease, or arising from any act or
negligence of the Tenant, or any officer, agent, employee, guest, or invitee of
Tenant, and from all and against all cost, attorney's fees, expenses and
liabilities incurred in or about any such claim or action or proceeding be
brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from
Landlord shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant as a material part of the consideration to
Landlord hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons, in,
upon or about the Premises, from any cause other than Landlord's negligence, and
Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord.
Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for any damage to property
entrusted to employees of the Building, nor for loss or damage to any property
by theft or otherwise, nor for any injury to or damage to persons or property
resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water
or rain which may leak from any part of the Building or from the pipes,
appliances or plumbing works therein or from the roof, street or subsurface or
from any other place resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever,
unless caused by or due to the negligence of
-5-
6
Landlord, its agents, servants or employees. Landlord or its agents shall not be
liable for interference with the light or incorporeal hereditaments, loss of
business by Tenant, nor shall Landlord be liable for any latent defects in the
Premises or in the Building. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in
cause of fire or accidents in the Premises or in the Building or of defects
therein or in the fixtures or equipment.
15. SUBROGATION. As long as their respective Insurers so permit, Landlord and
Tenant hereby mutually waive their respective rights of recovery against each
other for any loss insured by fire, extended coverage and other property
insurance policies existing for the benefit of the respective parties. Each
party shall obtain any special endorsements, if required by their insurer to
evidence compliance with the aforementioned waiver.
16. INSURANCE. Tenant shall not install any electrical equipment that overloads
the wiring panels, etc. in the leased premises. Tenant shall make at his own
expense whatever changes are necessary to relieve any overload condition and to
comply with the requirements of the insurance Underwriters or the governmental
authorities having jurisdiction. Tenant agrees to carry general liability
insurance in the minimum total amount or amounts of Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000.00), for each occurrence of bodily injury and One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) property damage. Tenant shall supply to Landlord
certificates of insurance showing the liability insurance coverage, and
throughout the term hereof, certificates of renewals of such policies. Said
certificate shall provide that the insurer shall have given Landlord ten (10)
days written notice prior to cancellation of said policy. In the event Tenant
fails to secure such insurance or to give evidence to Landlord of such insurance
by depositing with Landlord certificates as above provided, Landlord may
purchase such insurance in Tenant's name and charge Tenant the premiums
therefor. Building insurance for damage caused by fire and all other perils is
the responsibility of the Landlord. Premiums for such coverage shall be paid by
the Landlord. Said insurance policy will add MKS Instruments, Inc. as an
additional insured.
17. PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, before delinquency,
any and all taxes levied or assessed and which become payable during the term
thereof upon all Tenant's leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, fixtures
and personal property located in the premises; except that which has been paid
for by Landlord, and is the standard of the Building. In the event any or all of
Tenant's leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, fixtures and personal
property shall be assessed and taxed with the building. Tenant shall pay to
Landlord its share of such taxes within ten (10) days after delivery to Tenant
by Landlord of a statement in writing setting forth the amount of such taxes
applicable to Tenant's property.
18. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the
rules and regulations that Landlord shall from time to time promulgate.
-6-
7
Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make all reasonable
modifications to said rules. The additions and modifications to those rules
shall be binding upon Tenant upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant. Landlord
shall not be responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance of any said rules by
any other tenants or occupants.
19. HOLDING OVER. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises or any part
after the expiration of the term hereof, with the express written consent of
Landlord, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month-to-month at a rental in
the amount of the last monthly rental, plus all other charges payable hereunder,
and upon all terms hereof applicable to a month-to-month tenancy.
20. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves and shall at any and all times have the
right to enter the Premises, inspect the same, supply janitorial service and any
other service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to submit said
Premises and responsibility, and to alter, improve or repair the Premises and
any portion of the Building of which the Premises are a part that Landlord may
deem necessary or desirable, without abatement of rent and may for that purpose
erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by
the character of the work to be performed, always providing that the entrance to
the Premises shall not be blocked thereby, and further providing that the
business of the Tenant shall not be interfered with unreasonably. Tenant hereby
waives any claim for damages or for any injury or inconvenience to interference
with Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the
Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the aforesaid
purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock
all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults,
safes, and files, and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means
which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to
obtain entry to the Premises without liability to Tenant except for any failure
to exercise due care for Tenant's property. Any entry to the Premises obtained
by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise shall not under any circumstances
be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer
of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion
thereof.
21. RECONSTRUCTION. In the event the Premises or the Building of which the
Premises are a part are damaged by fire or other perils covered by extended
coverage insurance, Landlord agrees to forthwith repair the same; and this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect, except that the Tenant shall be entitled
to a proportionate reduction of the rent while such repairs are being made, such
proportionate reduction to be based upon the extent to which the making of such
repairs shall materially interfere with the business carried on by the Tenant in
the Premises. If the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or its
employees, there shall be no abatement of rent.
-7-
8
In the event the Premises or the Building of which the Premises are a part
are damaged as a result of any cause other than the perils covered by fire and
extended coverage insurance, then Landlord shall forthwith repair the same,
provided the extent of the destruction be less than ten percent (10%) of the
then full replacement cost of the Premises or the Building of which the Premises
are a part. In the event the destruction of the Premises or the Building is to
an extent greater than ten percent (10%) of the then full replacement cost, then
Landlord shall have the option: (1) to repair or restore such damage, this Lease
continuing in full force and effect, but the rest to be proportionately reduced
as hereinabove in this Article provided; or (2) give notice to Tenant at any
time within sixty (60) days after such damage terminating this Lease as of the
date specified in such notice, which date shall be no less than thirty (30) and
no more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice. In the event of
such notice, this Lease shall expire and all interest of the Tenant in the
Premises shall terminate on the date so specified in such notice and the Rent,
reduced by a proportionate amount, based upon the extent, if any, to which such
damage materially interfered with the business carried on by the Tenant in the
Premises, shall be paid up to date of said such termination.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article,
Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or
restore the Premises when the damage resulting from any casualty covered under
this Article occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease
or any extension thereof.
Landlord shall not be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or
other cause, or to make any repairs or replacements of any panels, decoration,
office fixtures, railings, floor coverings, partitions, or any other property
installed in the Premises by Tenant.
The Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages from
Landlord for loss of the use of the whole any part of the Premises, Tenant's
personal property or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage,
repair, reconstruction or restoration.
22. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall
constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant.
a. The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.
b. The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or any other payment
required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, where such failure
shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice thereof by
Landlord to Tenant.
-8-
9
c. The failure by tenant to observe any of the covenants, conditions or
provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by the Tenant, other than
as described in Article 23.b above, where such failure shall continue for a
period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant;
provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant's default is such that more than
thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be
deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said thirty (30)
day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
d. The making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangements
for the benefit of creditors; or the filing by or against Tenant of a petition
to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt, or a petition or reorganization or
arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a
petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty [60] days); or
the appointment of a trustee or a receiver to take possession of substantially
all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this
Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or
the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of
Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease,
where such seizure is not discharged in thirty (30) days.
23. REMEDIES IN DEFAULT. In the event of any such material default or breach by
Tenant, Landlord may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand,
and without limiting Landlord in the exercise or a right or remedy which
Landlord may have by reason of such default or breach:
a. Terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful
means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately
surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event Landlord shall
be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of
Tenant's default including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises; expenses of reletting, including necessary
renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorney's fees, any real
estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by the court
having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the
balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss for the same period that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided;
that portion of the leasing commission paid by Landlord and applicable to the
unexpired term of this Lease. Unpaid installments of rent or other sums shall
bear interest from the due date at the rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum.
In the event Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises, Landlord shall have the
option of (a) taking possession of the Premises and recovering from Tenant the
amount specified in this paragraph, or (b) proceeding under the provisions of
the following Article 23.b.
-9-
10
b. Maintain Tenant's right to possession, in which case this Lease shall
continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. In
such event, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of Landlord's rights and
remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes
due hereunder.
c. Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under
the laws or judicial decision of the State in which the Premises are located.
24. EMINENT DOMAIN. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises shall
be taken or appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority under the power
of eminent domain, either party hereto shall have the right, at its option, to
terminate this Lease, and Landlord shall be entitled to any and all income,
rent, award, or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in
connection with such public or quasi-public use or purpose, and Tenant shall
have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this
Lease. If either less than or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Premises is taken, and neither party elects to terminate as herein provided, the
rental thereafter to be paid shall be equitable reduced. If any part of the
Building other than the Premises may be so taken or apportioned, Landlord shall
have the right, at its option to terminate this Lease and shall be entitled to
the entire award as above provided.
25. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant shall at any time and from time to time upon
not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice from Landlord, execute,
acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing, (a) certifying that
this Lease is unmodified and full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the
nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease as so modified, is in
full force and effect), and the date to which the rental and other charges are
paid in advance, if any, and (b) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's
knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the Landlord hereunder, or
specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be relied
upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the
real property of which the Premises are a part. The failure of Tenant to timely
deliver such statement, or a statement specifically setting forth any items
which would be exceptions from such certification, shall be conclusive evidence
that Tenant has certified to the matters set forth herein.
26. AUTHORITY OF PARTIES.
a. Corporate Authority. If Tenant is a corporation, each individual
executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation represents and warrants that
he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of the
corporation, in accordance with a duly adopted resolution of the board of
directors of said corporation or in accordance with the by-laws of said
corporation, and that this Lease is binding upon said corporation in accordance
with its terms.
-10-
11
b. Limited Partnerships. If the Landlord herein is a limited partnership,
it is understood and agreed that any claims by Tenant on Landlord shall be
limited to the assets of the limited partnership, and furthermore, Tenant
expressly waives any and all rights to proceed against the individual partners
or the officers, directors or shareholders of any corporate partner, except to
the extent of their interest in said limited partnership.
27. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
a. Plats and Riders. Clauses, plats and riders, if any, signed by the
Landlord and the Tenant endorsed on or affixed to this Lease are a part hereof.
b. Waiver. The waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant, or condition
herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or
condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or
condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by
Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of
any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of the
Tenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord's
knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of the acceptance of such rent.
c. Notices. All notices and demands which may or are to be required or
permitted to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in
writing. All notices and demands by the Landlord to the Tenant shall be sent by
United States Mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Tenant at the Premises, or
to such other place as Tenant may from time to time designate in a notice to the
Landlord. All notices and demands by the Tenant to the Landlord shall be sent by
United States Mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Landlord at the Office of
the Building, or to such other person or place as the Landlord may from time to
time designate in a notice to the Tenant.
d. Joint Obligation. If there be more than one Tenant, the obligations
hereunder imposed upon Tenants shall be joint and several.
e. Marginal Headings. The original headings and Article titles to the
Articles of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect
upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.
f. Time. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its
provisions in which performance is a factor.
g. Recordation. Neither the Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease or
a short form memorandum hereof without the prior written consent of the other
party.
-11-
12
h. Quiet Possession. Upon Tenant paying the rent reserved hereunder and
observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on
Tenant's part to be observed and performed hereunder, Tenant shall have quiet
possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof, subject to all the
provisions of this Lease.
i. Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to
Landlord of rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs
not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, out are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by
terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any
installment of rent or of a sum due from Tenant shall not be received by
Landlord or Landlord's designee within ten (10) days after written notice that
said amount is past due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal
to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such
late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord
will incur by reason of the late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late
charges by the Landlord shall, in no event, constitute a waiver of Tenant's
default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
j. Prior Agreements. This Lease contains all of the agreements of the
parties hereto with respect to any matter covered or mentioned in this Lease,
and no prior agreements or understanding pertaining to any such matters shall be
effective for any purpose. No provision of this may be amended or added to
except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their
respective successors in interest. This Lease shall not be effective or binding
on any party until fully executed by both parties hereto.
k. Attorney's Fees. In the event of any action or proceeding brought by
either party against the other under this Lease, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover all costs and expenses including the fees of its attorney in
such action or proceeding in such amount as the court may adjudge reasonable as
attorney's fees.
l. Sales of Premises by Landlord. In the event of any sale of the
building, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of, all
liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or
derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring
after the consummation of such sale; and the purchaser, at such sale or any
subsequent sale of the Premises shall be deemed, without any further agreement
between the parties or their successors in interest or between the parties and
any such purchaser, to have assumed and agreed to carry out any and all of the
covenants and obligations of the Landlord under this Lease.
