RENT

3.1 Expense Rent. Commencing on the first day of the first month following the Lease Commencement Date (the "Rent Commencement Date") and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter throughout the Lease Term, to the extent not required by Landlord to be contracted for and paid directly by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as rent an amount equal to Tenant's Pro Rata Share of all Expenses (as defined in Article 1) incurred by Landlord (the "Expense Rent"). Payment shall be made as follows:

(a) Estimates. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord's reasonable estimate of the Expenses which it anticipates will be paid or incurred for the ensuing calendar or fiscal year, as Landlord may determine, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the estimated amount of such Expenses for such year in equal monthly installments during such year. Landlord reserves the right to revise such estimate from time to time.

(b) Quarterly Adjustments. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant within forty five (45) days following the end of each quarter during the Lease Term, a statement certified to be complete and accurate (the "Quarterly Statement") setting forth in reasonable detail (i) the amount of the Expenses paid or incurred during the just ended quarter, and (ii) the amount that Tenant has paid to Landlord for credit against such Expenses for such period. If Tenant shall have paid more than its obligation for such Expenses for the stated period, Landlord shall, at its election, either

(i) credit the amount of such overpayment toward the next ensuing payment or payments of Expense Rent that would otherwise be due (provided that the Lease has not expired or otherwise terminated) or (ii) refund in cash to Tenant the amount of such overpayment. If such quarterly statement shall show that Tenant did not pay its obligation for such expenses in full, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such underpayment within ten (10) business days from Landlord's billing of same to Tenant. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

(c) Audit of Quarterly Statement. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of a Quarterly Statement, if Tenant disputes the amount of Tenant's obligations set forth therein, at Tenant's expense an independent certified public accountant designated by Tenant, may, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, inspect Landlord's records pertaining to Expenses for the subject quarter. If Tenant still disputes any matter set forth in the subject Quarterly Statement after such inspection, a certification as to the proper amount owing by Tenant with respect to Expenses for the subject quarter shall be made at Tenant's expense by an independent certified public accountant mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, and such certification shall be final and conclusive (the "Final Audit"), and any necessary adjustment shall be made for the next monthly rental payment in light of the Final Audit. If the Final Audit shows that Expenses for the particular quarter have been overstated by more than three percent (3%), then Landlord shall be responsible for the cost of the Final Audit. Both Landlord and Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days from the date the Final Audit is received by them to dispute the calculation of Expenses set forth therein. If either party disputes the calculation of Expenses reflected in the Final Audit, then Landlord and Tenant shall resolve such dispute in the manner set forth in Section 10.18 of the Contribution Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Quarterly Statement for the last full or partial quarter occurring during the Lease Term, Tenant shall have six (6) months after Tenant's receipt of the subject Quarterly Statement to dispute such statement in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. Tenant shall pay all Rent during the pendency of any audit hereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

3.2 Interest On Rent In Default. If any Rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of ten (10) calendar days, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on any Rent that is not so paid from said tenth day at the rate of the lesser of Comerica Prime Plus Two or the then maximum rate of interest not prohibited or made usurious by Law until paid.

3.3 Payment Of Rent. All Rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States, without any abatement, reduction or offset for any reason whatsoever except as expressly set forth herein, to Landlord at such address as Landlord may designate from time to time. Failure of Landlord to notify Tenant in writing of a change of address shall waive all late charges and interest on Rent in default until such written notice is granted.

Landlord reserves the right to grant easements and access rights to others for use of the parking areas on the Property, provided that such grants do not materially interfere with Tenant's use of the parking areas.

4.6 Signs. Tenant shall have the right to install business identification signage in the interior of the Building immediately outside the Leased Premises or on the door to the Leased Premises, subject to Landlord's prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided such signage shall be installed at Tenant's sole cost and expense and only in strict compliance with Landlord's approval, using a person chosen by Tenant and approved by Landlord to install same, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord may remove any signs (which have not

been approved in writing by Landlord), advertisements, banners, placards or pictures so placed by Tenant on or within the Leased Premises, the exterior of the Building, the Common Areas or the Property and charge to Tenant the cost of such removal, together with any costs incurred by Landlord to repair any damage caused thereby, including any cost incurred to restore the surface (upon which such sign was so affixed) to its original condition. Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's signs, repair any damage caused thereby, and restore the surface upon which the sign was affixed to its original condition, all to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction, upon the termination of this Lease.

4.7 Compliance With Laws And Private Restrictions. Subject to Paragraph 4.10 hereof, Tenant shall abide by and shall promptly observe and comply with, at its sole cost and expense, all Laws and Private Restrictions respecting the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas or the Property including, without limitation, all Laws governing the use and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials, and shall defend with competent counsel, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any claims, damages, liability, fines, penalties or costs resulting from Tenant's use of the Leased Premises or Tenant's failure to so abide, observe, or comply. Tenant's obligations hereunder shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. Landlord shall require itself and other tenants of the Property to comply with all Laws and Private Restrictions, subject to the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord and provide copies of any governmental or third party communications, requests or inspections received by Tenant related in any manner to a release, condition or claim regarding Hazardous Materials at the Leased Premises, Building, and/or Property. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with written notice of any release or imminent release of Hazardous Materials caused or permitted by Tenant at the Property or by any person at the Leased Premises as soon as Tenant becomes aware of such release or imminent release.

4.8 Compliance With Insurance Requirements. With respect to any insurance policies required or permitted to be carried by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall not conduct any activities nor keep, store or use any item or thing within the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas or the Property which (i) is prohibited under the terms of any such policies (provided such prohibitions are made known to Tenant), (ii) would result in the termination of the coverage afforded under any of such policies, (iii) would give to the insurance carrier the right to cancel any of such policies, or (iv) would cause an increase in the rates (over standard rates) charged for the coverage afforded under any of such policies (unless such increases are paid by Tenant). Tenant shall comply with all reasonable requirements of any insurance company, insurance underwriter, or Board of Fire Underwriters which are necessary to maintain, at standard rates, the insurance coverages carried by either Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Lease. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of all insurance policies related to the Leased Premises, the Building, the Common Areas and the Property and Tenant shall be deemed to have knowledge of all of the terms and conditions of such policies.

4.9 Landlord's Right To Enter.

Landlord retains the right to enter the Leased Premises during normal business hours (or as otherwise agreed), subject to Tenant's reasonable security measures, for purposes of supplying any maintenance or services agreed to be supplied by Landlord.

Any entry into the Leased Premises or the Common Areas obtained by Landlord in accordance with this paragraph shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Leased Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive of, Tenant from the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, nor relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder, nor constitute a breach of contract.

4.10 Environmental Protection. Tenant's obligations under this Paragraph 4.10 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall not use Hazardous Materials at the Leased Premises other than those contained in ordinary office supplies used in compliance with all Laws or used in the machine shop located in the Leased Premises which shall be used in compliance with all Laws. If required by applicable Laws, Tenant shall prepare and deliver to Landlord a Hazardous Materials Management Plan ("HMMP") regarding Tenant's use of Hazardous Materials in the machine shop. Tenant shall not drain or discharge any Hazardous Materials in the landscaped areas or across the paved areas of the Property. In no event shall Tenant cause or permit to be discharged into the plumbing or sewage system of the Building any Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall not cause or permit Hazardous Materials to be discharged into the plumbing or sewage system of the Building unless such plumbing or sewage systems are specifically identified as designed or designated to handle the respective Hazardous Material. If the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Property (other than the Known Contamination) caused or permitted by Tenant results in contamination or deterioration of water or soil, then Tenant shall promptly take any and all action necessary to clean up such contamination, but the foregoing shall in no event be deemed to constitute permission by Landlord to allow the presence of such Hazardous Materials. At any time prior to the expiration of the Lease Term if Tenant has a reasonable basis to suspect that there has been any release or the presence of Hazardous Materials in the ground or ground water on the Property which did not exist upon commencement of the Lease Term, or otherwise upon Landlord's written request, Tenant shall conduct appropriate tests of water, soil or any contaminated surface and to deliver to Landlord the results of such tests to demonstrate that no contamination in excess of permitted levels has occurred as a result of Tenant's use of the Leased Premises.

(b) Upon termination or expiration of the Lease or cessation of the conduct of Tenant's business in the Leased Premises, Tenant at its sole expense shall cause all Hazardous Materials placed in or about the Property by Tenant, its agents, contractors, or invitees, and all installations (whether interior or exterior) made by or on behalf of Tenant relating to the storage, use, treatment, disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials to be removed from the Property and transported for use, storage or disposal in accordance and compliance with all Laws and other requirements respecting Hazardous Materials used or permitted to be used by Tenant. Tenant shall apply for and shall obtain from all appropriate regulatory authorities (including any applicable fire department, regional water quality control board or Certified Unified Program Agency or the California Department of Toxic Substances Control) all permits, approvals and clearances necessary for the closure of the Property and shall take all other actions as may be required to complete the closure of the Property except for any permits, approvals, and clearances necessary for the operation of the Identified Groundwater Treatment System currently operated by Landlord at the Property or in connection with Environmental Response Activities of Landlord related to the Known Contamination, for which Landlord shall have sole responsibility. In addition, prior to vacating the Leased Premises, Landlord may request that Tenant shall undertake and submit to Landlord, at Landlord's cost, an environmental site assessment from an environmental consulting

company reasonably acceptable to Landlord which site assessment shall evidence Tenant's compliance with this Paragraph 4.10.

(c) At any time prior to expiration of the Lease term, subject to reasonable prior notice (not less than forty-eight (48) hours) and Tenant's reasonable security requirements and provided such activities do not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Tenant's business at the Leased Premises, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises in order to conduct appropriate tests of any portion of the Property (including, without limitation, the water and soil thereof) and improvements thereon to determine whether levels of any Hazardous Materials in excess of legally permissible levels have occurred as a result of Tenant's use thereof. Landlord retains at all times the right to conduct appropriate tests of any portion of the Property (including, without limitation, the water and soil thereof) and improvements thereon to determine whether levels of any Hazardous Materials in excess of legally permissible levels have occurred as a result of Tenant's use thereof. Landlord shall furnish copies of all such test results and reports to Tenant and, at Tenant's option and cost, shall permit split sampling for testing and analysis by Tenant. Such testing shall be at Tenant's expense if Landlord has a reasonable basis for suspecting and confirms the presence of Hazardous Materials in the soil or surface or ground water in, on, under, or about the Property which has been caused by or resulted from the activities of Tenant, its agents, contractors, or invitees.

(d) Landlord may voluntarily cooperate in a reasonable manner with the efforts of all Governmental Bodies regarding Hazardous Materials at the Leased Premises, provided, however, to the extent such efforts are voluntary and not mandatory, Landlord shall not cause unreasonable interference with the operation of the wafer fabrication business by Tenant in the Leased Premises. Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease (unless such cooperation materially and unreasonably interfere with Tenant's operation in the Leased Premises) or to any reduction in or abatement of rent by reason of such compliance or cooperation. Tenant agrees at all times to cooperate fully with the requirements and recommendations of Governmental Bodies regulating, or otherwise involved in, the protection of the environment.

(e) Landlord shall hold harmless and indemnify Tenant from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse Tenant, for any Damages that are suffered or incurred by Tenant (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) that arise from any Environmental Condition (or any Environmental Claim arising out of or relating to any Environmental Condition) which condition was in existence on, or arose, on or before the date the Leased Premises were delivered to Tenant, or that is attributable to operations or activities of Landlord at the Leased Premises on or before such date, including but not limited to, any Known Contamination; provided, however, in the event Tenant shall be obligated to undertake the "Decommission Plan" as described in the Contribution Agreement, Landlord shall not be required to indemnify Tenant for any costs, fees or other liabilities incurred by Tenant in connection with the Decommission Plan. Tenant shall hold harmless and indemnify Landlord from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse Landlord for, any Damages that are suffered or incurred, directly or indirectly, by Landlord (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) that arise from any Environmental Condition (or any Environmental Claim arising out of or relating to any Environmental Condition), which condition arises after the date the Leased Premises are delivered to the Tenant as a result of a release, discharge or spill of Hazardous Materials by the Tenant after the date the Leased Premises are delivered to Tenant (or any Person present at the wafer fabrication facility by invitation of Tenant), or as a result of the negligent or unlawful conduct of Tenant after the date the Leased Premises are delivered to Tenant or failure of Tenant to comply with the terms of Paragraph 4.10(b) hereof, provided that, with respect to Tenant's obligation to indemnify Landlord for Tenant's failure to comply with Paragraph 4.10(b), Tenant shall have no obligation to indemnify Landlord for any Damages resulting from the release, spill, discharge, or handling of Hazardous Materials by Landlord or any negligent or unlawful conduct of Landlord. With respect to any Environmental Claim for which Landlord seeks indemnification from Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 4.10(e), and which is alleged to have resulted from Tenant's release, discharge or spill of any Hazardous Materials present in the soil or groundwater prior to the Lease Commencement Date, a rebuttable presumption shall exist that the Hazardous Materials involved in the Environmental Claim for which Landlord seeks indemnification were present in the soil or groundwater prior to the Lease Commencement Date. Such presumption shall be rebuttable by clear and convincing evidence.

(f) Tenant acknowledges that there is on-going remediation of pre-existing Known Contamination on the Property and the remediation thereof is described in environmental reports made available to Tenant prior to the date hereof. Tenant agrees that the presence of such Known Contamination shall not be deemed a constructive eviction of Tenant from the Leased Premises. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and not unreasonably interfere with Landlord's performance of the remediation work and provide access to the Leased Premises for performance of the remediation work, if required. Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any reduction in or abatement of rent by reason of such cooperation or the performance of the remediation work so long as such remediation work does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the wafer fabrication business by Tenant in the Leased Premises.

(g) Structural steel fireproofing material and other building materials containing asbestos were widely used in construction from the 1950's through the mid-1970's. The Building was built before 1979 and certain asbestos-containing materials ("ACM") are located in: Resilient Flooring and Mastic, Dry Wall, Joint Compound, Thermal Pipe Insulation, Putty Tape, Transite Wall Board, Cove Base Adhesive and Roof Mastic within the Building. Landlord has no special knowledge regarding handling instructions necessary to prevent or minimize release of, or exposure to, ACM, or the potential health impacts resulting from exposure to asbestos in the Site. Tenant is urged to contact the County Health Department, the State Department of Health Services, the County Department of Health Services, or the state or federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration for more information. This disclosure statement is provided to Tenant in compliance with California Health and Safety Code Section 25915 et seq. Tenant should be aware that under the requirements of Section 25915 et seq., Tenant is also required to provide this information to Tenant's employees, sublessees, contractors and others as described in the Code.

(h) Landlord represents that it has provided Tenant with a description of the Known Contamination on or beneath the Property and lead located on the Property as of the Effective Date of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that in providing such information, Landlord has satisfied its obligations of disclosure pursuant to California Health & Safety Code Section 25359.7 which requires:

"Any owner of nonresidential real property who knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that any release of hazardous substances has come to be located on or beneath that real property shall, prior to the sale, lease or rental of the real property by that owner, give written notice of that condition to the buyer, lessee or renter of the real property."

4.11 Rules And Regulations. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to establish reasonable rules and regulations and/or amendments or additions thereto respecting the use of the Leased Premises and the Common Areas for the care and orderly management of the Property. Upon delivery to Tenant of a copy of such rules and regulations or any amendments or additions thereto, Tenant shall comply with such rules and regulations. A material violation by Tenant of any of such rules and regulations shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease subject to Paragraph 12.1(b) hereof. If there is a conflict between the rules and regulations and any of the provisions of this Lease, the provisions of this Lease shall prevail. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant for the violation of such rules and regulations by any other tenants, occupants, and/or licensees of the Property.

4.12 Reservations. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to grant, without the consent or joinder of Tenant and without cost to Tenant, such easements, rights of way and dedications that Landlord deems necessary, and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and Private Restrictions, or seek additional entitlements or modify parcel maps, so long as such Private Restrictions, easements, rights of way and dedications do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Leased Premises by Tenant. Tenant agrees to execute any documents reasonably requested by Landlord to effectuate any such easement rights, dedications, maps or restrictions.

ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS

6.1 By Tenant. Tenant shall not make any alterations to or modifications of the Leased Premises or construct any improvements within the Leased Premises until Landlord shall have first approved, in writing, the plans and specifications therefor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant's written request shall also contain a request for Landlord to elect whether or not it will require Tenant to remove the subject alterations, modifications or improvements at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If such additional request is not included, Landlord may make such election at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (and for purposes of Tenant's removal obligations set forth in Paragraph 2.5 above, Landlord shall be deemed to have made the election at the time the alterations, modifications or improvements were completed). All such modifications, alterations or improvements, once so approved, shall be made, constructed or installed by Tenant at Tenant's expense (including all permit fees and governmental charges related thereto), using a licensed contractor first approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, in substantial compliance with the Landlord-approved plans and specifications therefor. All work undertaken by Tenant shall be done in accordance with all Laws and in a good and workmanlike manner using new materials of good quality.

As used in this Article, the term "modifications, alterations and/or improvements" shall include, without limitation, the installation of additional electrical outlets, overhead lighting fixtures, drains, sinks, partitions, doorways, or the like.

6.2 Ownership Of Improvements. All modifications, alterations and improvements made or added to the Leased Premises by Tenant other than Tenant's inventory, equipment, movable furniture, wall decorations and trade fixtures or any of the Contributed Assets ("Real Property Improvements") shall be deemed part of the Property owned by Landlord. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees not to grant a security interest to any party other than Landlord in any Real Property Improvements made or

added to the Leased Premises by Tenant, except that Tenant may grant a security interest in Tenant's inventory, equipment, movable furniture, wall decorations and trade fixtures or any of the Contributed Assets, provided that in no event shall Tenant be entitled to cause a lien, mortgage or other encumbrance to be placed on the Property. Any Real Property Improvements, once completed, shall not be altered or removed from the Leased Premises during the Lease Term without Landlord's written approval first obtained in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 6.1 above. At the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, all Real Property Improvements shall automatically become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord as part of the Leased Premises as required pursuant to Article 2, unless Landlord shall require Tenant to remove any of such Real Property Improvements in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 and Paragraph 4.10, in which case Tenant shall so remove same.

Tenant's failure to do so shall be a material default under the terms of this Lease.

ARTICLE 7

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING BY TENANT

7.1 By Tenant. Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof or assign its interest in this Lease, whether voluntarily or by operation of Law, without Landlord's prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted subletting or assignment without Landlord's prior written consent, at Landlord's election, shall constitute a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person or entity other than Tenant, or the acceptance of rent by Landlord from Tenant with knowledge of a violation of the provisions of this paragraph, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Article or this Lease or to be a consent to any subletting by Tenant or any assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease. If Tenant assigns this Lease (whether or not Landlord's consent is required pursuant to the terms of this Article 7), Tenant shall simultaneously assign the El Capitan Lease to the same assignee.

7.2 Merger, Reorganization, or Sale of Assets.

(a) Subject to paragraph (b) below: Any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or other transfer in the aggregate over the Lease Term of a controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant, or the sale or transfer of all or a substantial portion of the assets of Tenant, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease. The phrase "controlling percentage" means the ownership of and the right to vote stock possessing more than fifty percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant's capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of directors. If Tenant is a

partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of Law, of any general partner, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease. Upon Landlord's request from time to time, Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with a statement certified by the Tenant's chief operating officer, which shall provide the following information: (a) the names of all of Tenant's shareholders and their ownership interests at the time thereof, provided Tenant's shares are not publicly traded; (b) the state in which Tenant is incorporated; (c) the location of Tenant's principal place of business; (d) information regarding a material change in the corporate structure of Tenant, including, without limitation, a merger or consolidation; and (e) any other information regarding Tenant's ownership that Landlord reasonably requests. In the event of an acquisition by one entity of the controlling percentage of the capital stock of Tenant where this Lease is not assigned to and assumed in full by such entity, it shall be a condition to Landlord's consent to such change in control that such entity acquiring the controlling percentage assume, as a primary obligor, all rights and obligations of Tenant under this Lease (and such entity shall execute all documents reasonably required to effectuate such assumption).

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph 7.1 or subparagraph (a) above, the Tenant may, without Landlord's consent, (i) assign all its rights, title, interest and obligations ("Rights") in and to this Lease to (A) any entity controlled by or under common control with Tenant ("Affiliate") or (B) to any Person providing financing to the Tenant or any Affiliate of the Tenant, in each case as collateral security for such financing provided that no such assignment shall relieve Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder, (ii) assign all such Rights to any Affiliate controlling Tenant provided that no such assignment shall relieve Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder, and (iii) assign all such Rights to any Person who acquires, directly or indirectly, all or any substantial portion of the assets or securities of Tenant or any subsidiaries of Tenant provided that the Person acquiring such Rights directly or indirectly or which owns or controls the merged, reorganized or consolidated entity, agrees in writing to assume Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

7.3 Landlord's Election. If Tenant shall desire to assign its interest under the Lease (except if pursuant to Paragraph 7.2(b) hereof) or to sublet the Leased Premises, Tenant must first notify Landlord, in writing, of its intent to so assign or sublet, at least thirty (30) days in advance of taking any action with respect thereto. Once Tenant (or Landlord or both pursuant to the joint marketing election described below) has identified a potential assignee or sublessee, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, of its intent to so assign or sublet, at least thirty (30) days in advance of the date it intends to so assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises but not sooner than one hundred eighty days in advance of such date, specifying in detail the terms of such proposed assignment or subletting, including the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee, the proposed assignee's or sublessee's intended use of the Leased Premises, current financial statements (including a balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flow, all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) of such proposed assignee or sublessee, the form of documents to be used in effectuating such assignment or subletting and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have a period of ten (10) business days following receipt of such notice and the required information within which to do one of the following: (i) consent to such requested assignment or subletting subject to Tenant's compliance with the conditions set forth in Paragraph 7.4 below, or (ii) refuse to so consent to such requested assignment or subletting, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably refused. Tenant covenants and agrees to supply to Landlord, upon request, all necessary or relevant information which Landlord may reasonably request respecting such proposed assignment or subletting and/or the proposed assignee or sublessee. In the event Tenant desires to sublease all or a portion of the Leased Premises, Landlord shall have the right to elect to jointly market with Tenant the applicable portion (including all) of the Leased Premises for subleasing and/or direct leasing, such joint marketing election to be made, if at all, in writing and delivered to Tenant during the thirty (30) day period described in the first sentence of this Paragraph 7.3.

7.4 Conditions To Landlord's Consent. If Landlord elects to consent, or shall have been ordered to so consent by a court of competent jurisdiction, to such requested assignment or subletting, such consent shall be expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of each of the conditions below set forth, and any purported assignment or subletting made or ordered prior to the full and complete satisfaction of each of the following conditions shall be void and, at the election of Landlord, which election may be exercised at any time following such a purported assignment or subletting but prior to the satisfaction of each of the stated conditions, shall constitute a material default by Tenant under this Lease until cured by satisfying in full each such condition by the assignee or sublessee. The conditions are as follows:

(a) Landlord having approved in form and substance the assignment or sublease agreement and any ancillary documents, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord if the requirements of this Article 7 are otherwise complied with.

(b) Each such sublessee or assignee having agreed, in writing satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel and for the benefit of Landlord, to assume, to be bound by, and to perform the obligations of this Lease to be performed by Tenant which relate to space being subleased.

(c) Tenant having fully and completely performed all of its obligations under the terms of this Lease through and including the date of such assignment or subletting.

(d) Tenant having reimbursed to Landlord all reasonable costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such requested subletting or assignment.

(e) Tenant having delivered to Landlord a complete and fully-executed duplicate original of such sublease agreement or assignment agreement (as applicable) and all related agreements.

(f) Tenant having paid, or having agreed in writing to pay as to future payments, to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all assignment consideration or excess rentals to be paid to Tenant or to any other on Tenant's behalf or for Tenant's benefit for such assignment or subletting.

(g) The extension options described in Article 15 hereof may not be assigned from the Tenant originally named herein, except to an assignee under Paragraph 7.2(b) or an assignee for which Tenant specifically obtains Landlord's consent for the assignment of such extension options.

7.5 Assignment Consideration And Excess Rentals Defined. For purposes of this Article, including any amendment to this Article by way of addendum or other writing, the term "assignment consideration" shall mean all consideration to be paid by the assignee to Tenant or to any other party on Tenant's behalf or for Tenant's benefit as consideration for such assignment, without deduction for any commissions paid by Tenant or any other costs or expenses (including, without limitation, tenant improvements, capital improvements, building upgrades, permit fees, attorneys' fees, and other consultants' fees) incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment, and the term "excess rentals" shall mean all consideration to be paid by the sublessee to Tenant or to any other party on Tenant's behalf or for Tenant's benefit for the sublease of all or any portion of the Leased Premises in excess of the Rent due to Landlord under the terms of this Lease for the portion so subleased for the same period, without deduction for any commissions paid by Tenant or any other costs or expenses (including, without limitation, tenant improvements, capital improvements, building upgrades, permit fees, attorneys' fees, and other consultants' fees) incurred by Tenant in connection with such sublease. Tenant agrees that the portion of any assignment consideration and/or excess rentals arising from any assignment or subletting by Tenant which is to be paid to Landlord pursuant to this Article now is and shall then be the property of Landlord and not the property of Tenant.

7.6 Payments. All payments required by this Article to be made to Landlord shall be made in cash in full as and when they become due. At the time Tenant, Tenant's assignee or sublessee makes each such payment to Landlord, Tenant or Tenant's assignee or sublessee, as the case may be, shall

deliver to Landlord an itemized statement in reasonable detail showing the method by which the amount due Landlord was calculated and certified by the party making such payment as true and correct.

7.7 Effect Of Landlord's Consent. Except as provided in Paragraph 7.2(b), no subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its personal and primary obligation to pay rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of Tenant's interest in this Lease or to one or more sublettings of the Leased Premises shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. No subtenant shall have any right to assign its sublease or to further sublet any portion of the sublet premises or to permit any portion of the sublet premises to be used or occupied by any other party. If Landlord shall have been ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction to consent to a requested assignment or subletting, or such an assignment or subletting shall have been ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction over the objection of Landlord, such assignment or subletting shall not be binding between the assignee (or sublessee) and Landlord until such time as all conditions set forth in Paragraph 7.4 above have been fully satisfied (to the extent not then satisfied) by the assignee or sublessee, including, without limitation, the payment to Landlord of all agreed assignment considerations and/or excess rentals then due Landlord.

(b) Each policy of liability insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this paragraph or actually carried by Tenant with respect to the Leased Premises or the Property: (i) shall, except with respect to insurance required by subparagraph (a)(iv) above, name Landlord, and such others as are designated by Landlord, as additional insureds and additional payees; (ii) shall be primary insurance providing that the insurer shall be liable for the full amount of the loss, up to and including the total amount of liability set forth in the declaration of coverage, without the right of contribution from or prior payment by any other insurance coverage of Landlord; (iii) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; (iv) shall be carried with companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord with Best's ratings of at least A and XI; (v) shall provide that such policy shall not be subject to cancellation, lapse or change except after at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, and (vi) shall contain a so-called "severability" or "cross liability" endorsement. Each policy of property insurance maintained by Tenant with respect to the Leased Premises or the Property or any property therein (i) shall provide that such policy shall not be subject to cancellation, lapse or change except after at least thirty (30) days prior

written notice to Landlord and (ii) shall contain a waiver and/or a permission to waive by the insurer of any right of subrogation against Landlord or Landlord Parties, which might arise by reason of any payment under such policy or by reason of any act or omission of Landlord or Landlord Parties. As soon as practicable after placing the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 9.1, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificate(s) of insurance and/or if required by Landlord, certified copies of each policy evidencing the existence of such insurance and Tenant's compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 9.1.

(c) Prior to the time Tenant or any of its contractors enters the Leased Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, with respect to each policy of insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article, a copy of such policy (appropriately authenticated by the insurer as having been issued, premium paid) or a certificate of the insurer certifying in form satisfactory to Landlord that a policy has been issued, premium paid, providing the coverage required by this paragraph and containing the provisions specified herein. With respect to each renewal or replacement of any such insurance, the requirements of this paragraph must be complied with not less than thirty days prior to the expiration or cancellation of the policies being renewed or replaced. Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, inspect and/or copy any and all insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article. If Landlord's Lender, insurance broker, advisor or counsel reasonably determines at any time that the amount of coverage set forth in Paragraph 9.1(a) for any policy of insurance Tenant is required to carry pursuant to this Article is not adequate, then Tenant shall increase the amount of coverage for such insurance to such greater amount as Landlord's Lender, insurance broker, advisor or counsel reasonably deems adequate.

9.2 Landlord's Insurance. With respect to insurance maintained by Landlord:

(a) Landlord shall maintain, as the minimum coverage required of it by this Lease, fire and property damage insurance in so-called special form coverage insuring Landlord (and such others as Landlord may designate) against loss from physical damage to the Building with coverage of not less than the full actual replacement cost thereof.

Landlord shall not be required to cause such insurance to cover any of Tenant's manufacturing equipment, personal property, inventory, and trade fixtures, or any modifications, alterations or improvements made or constructed by Tenant to or within the Leased Premises.

(b) Landlord shall maintain commercial general liability insurance insuring Landlord (and such others as are designated by Landlord) against liability for personal injury, bodily injury, death, and damage to property occurring in, on or about, or resulting from the use or occupancy of the Property, or any portion thereof, with combined single limit coverage of at least Thirty Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000). Landlord may carry such greater coverage as Landlord or Landlord's Lender, insurance broker, advisor or counsel may from time to time determine is reasonably necessary for the adequate protection of Landlord and the Property.

(c) Landlord may maintain any other insurance which in the opinion of its insurance broker, advisor or legal counsel is prudent in carry under the given circumstances, provided such insurance is commonly carried by owners of property similarly situated and operating under similar circumstances.

9.3 Mutual Waiver Of Subrogation. Landlord hereby releases Tenant, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord and its respective partners, principals, members, officers, agents, employees and servants, from any and all liability for loss, damage or injury to the property of the other in or about the Leased Premises or the Property which is caused by or results from a peril or event or happening which is covered by insurance actually carried and in force at the time of the loss by the party sustaining such loss; provided, however, that such waiver shall be effective only to the extent permitted by the insurance covering such loss and to the extent such insurance is not prejudiced thereby.

ARTICLE 12

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

12.1 Events Of Tenant's Default. Tenant shall be in default of its obligations under this Lease if any of the following events occur:

(a) Tenant shall have failed to pay any Expense Rent or Additional Rent within fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord that such payment is due. After the notice has been given, Landlord shall not be required to provide any further notices to Tenant. Each such notice shall be concurrent with, and not in addition to, any notice required by applicable Laws; or

(b) Tenant shall have done or permitted to be done any act, use or thing in its use, occupancy or possession of the Leased Premises or the Building or the Common Areas or the Property which is prohibited by the terms of this Lease or Tenant shall have failed to perform any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease (except those requiring the payment of Expense Rent or Additional Rent, which failures shall be governed by subparagraph (a) above) and such default is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the nature of such default and requesting Tenant to cure the same; or within such longer period as is reasonably required in the event such default is curable but not within such thirty (30) day period, provided such cure is promptly commenced within such thirty (30) day period and is thereafter diligently prosecuted to completion, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such written notice from Landlord; or

(c) Tenant shall have sublet the Leased Premises or assigned or encumbered its interest in this Lease in violation of the provisions contained in Article 7, whether voluntarily or by operation of law; or

(d) Tenant shall have abandoned the Leased Premises; or

12.2 Landlord's Remedies. In the event of any default by Tenant, and without limiting Landlord's right to indemnification as provided in Article 8.2, Landlord shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or otherwise provided in this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively, or in the alternative:

(a) Landlord may, at Landlord's election, keep this Lease in effect and enforce, by an action at law or in equity, all of its rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease including, without limitation, (i) the right to recover the Rent and other sums as they become due by appropriate legal action, (ii) the right to make payments required by Tenant, or perform Tenant's obligations and be reimbursed by Tenant for the cost thereof with interest at the lesser of Comerica Prime Plus Two or the then maximum rate of interest not prohibited by law from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant, and (iii) the remedies of injunctive relief and specific performance to prevent Tenant from violating the terms of this Lease and/or to compel Tenant to perform its obligations under this Lease, as the case may be.

(b) Landlord may, at Landlord's election, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date set forth for termination in

such notice, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in Rent, enter upon and take possession of the Leased Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Leased Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor. Any termination under this subparagraph shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay to Landlord all Expense Rent and Additional Rent then or thereafter due, or any other sums due or thereafter accruing to Landlord, or from any claim against Tenant for damages previously accrued or then or thereafter accruing. In no event shall any one or more of the following actions by Landlord, in the absence of a written election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, constitute a termination of this Lease:

(i) Appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect Landlord's interest hereunder;

(ii) Consent to any subletting of the Leased Premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to the provisions hereof or otherwise; or

(iii) Any action taken by Landlord or Landlord Parties which is intended to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, including, without limitation, any action taken to maintain and preserve the Leased Premises on any action taken to relet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof for the account at Tenant and in the name of Tenant.

(c) In the event Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Leased Premises, Landlord may terminate this Lease, but this Lease shall not terminate unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of termination. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination, Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right and remedies provided by California Civil Code Section 1951.4 ("lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if lessee has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations"), as in effect on the Effective Date of this Lease.

(d) In the event Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, at Landlord's election, to the rights and remedies provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.2, as in effect on the Effective Date of this Lease. For purposes of computing damages pursuant to Section 1951.2, an interest rate equal to the maximum rate of interest then not prohibited by law shall be used where permitted. Such damages shall include, without limitation:

(i) The worth at the time of the award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination;

(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, at the time of award plus one percent; and

(iii) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.

12.3 Landlord's Default And Tenant's Remedies. In the event Landlord fails to perform its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall nevertheless not be in default under the terms of this Lease until such time as Tenant shall have first given Landlord written notice specifying the nature of such failure to perform its obligations, and then only after Landlord shall have had thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice within which to perform such obligations; provided that, if longer

than thirty (30) days is reasonably required in order to perform such obligations, Landlord shall have such longer period so long as Landlord is diligently pursuing such performance up to a maximum of one hundred eighty (180) days. In the event of Landlord's default as above set forth, then, and only then, Tenant may then proceed in equity or at law to seek a termination of this Lease or to compel Landlord to perform its obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused by such failure to perform (except as and to the extent Tenant has waived its right to damages as provided in this Lease).

12.4 Limitation Of Tenant's Recourse. Tenant's sole recourse against Landlord for a breach of this Lease shall be to Landlord's interest in the Building and the Common Areas. If Landlord is a corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, unincorporated association, or other form of business entity, Tenant agrees that (i) the obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall not constitute personal obligations of the officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders, or other principals of such business entity, and (ii) Tenant shall have recourse only to the interest of such corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, unincorporated association, or other form of business entity in the Building and the Common Areas for the satisfaction of such obligations and not against the assets of such officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders or principals. Additionally, if Landlord is a partnership or limited liability company, then Tenant covenants and agrees:

(a) No partner or member of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party in any suit or action brought by Tenant with respect to any alleged breach of this Lease (except to the extent necessary to secure jurisdiction over the partnership and then only for that sole purpose);

(b) No service of process shall be made against any partner or member of Landlord except for the sole purpose of securing jurisdiction over the partnership; and \

(c) No writ of execution will ever be levied against the assets of any partner or member of Landlord other than to the extent of his or her interest in the assets of the partnership or limited liability company constituting Landlord.

Tenant further agrees that each of the foregoing covenants and agreements shall be enforceable by Landlord and by any partner or member of Landlord and shall be applicable to any actual or alleged misrepresentation or nondisclosure made regarding this Lease or the Leased Premises or any actual or alleged failure, default or breach of any covenant or agreement either expressly or implicitly contained in this Lease or imposed by statute or at common law.

12.5 Tenant's Waiver. Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of Paragraph 12.3 above are intended to supersede and replace the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942, and accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 and/or any similar or successor law regarding Tenant's right to terminate this Lease or to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs from the Rent due under this Lease.

ARTICLE 13

GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.1 Taxes On Tenant's Property. Tenant shall pay before delinquency any and all taxes, assessments, license fees, use fees, permit fees and public charges of whatever nature or description levied, assessed or imposed against Tenant's personal property located at the Property, any improvements or alterations Tenant makes to the Leased Premises, and Tenant's interest in this Lease (collectively, "Tenant's Interest"). Upon demand by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence of these payments. If any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges are levied against Landlord, Landlord's property, the Building or the Property, or if the assessed value of the Building or the Property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon Tenant's Interest, regardless of the validity thereof, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to pay such taxes, and

if not paid and satisfactory evidence of payment delivered to Landlord at least ten days prior to delinquency, then Landlord shall have the right to pay such taxes on Tenant's behalf and to invoice Tenant for the same, in either case whether before or after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. Tenant shall, within the earlier to occur of (a) thirty (30) days of the date it receives an invoice from Landlord setting forth the amount of such taxes, assessments, fees, or public charge so levied, or (b) the due date of such invoice, pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount set forth in such invoice. Failure by Tenant to pay the amount so invoiced within such time period shall be conclusively deemed a default by Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall have the right to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover from the taxing authority the amount of any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges so paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right before any delinquency occurs to contest or object to the amount or validity of any of the taxes or impositions referred to in this Paragraph 13.1 by appropriate legal proceedings, provided that such right shall in no way be construed in any way as relieving, modifying, or extending Tenant's covenant to pay such taxes and impositions at the time and manner required by this Paragraph 13.1. Landlord shall not be required to join in any such proceedings and Landlord shall not be subjected to any liability for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection with such proceedings brought by Tenant, and Tenant covenants to indemnify and save Landlord harmless from any such costs and expenses.

13.2 Holding Over. This Lease shall terminate without further notice on the Lease Expiration Date (as set forth in Article 1). Any holding over by Tenant after expiration of the Lease Term shall neither constitute a renewal nor extension of this Lease nor give Tenant any rights in or to the Leased Premises except as expressly provided in this Paragraph. Any such holding over to which Landlord has consented shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month, on the same terms and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable, except that the Expense Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the fair market rent for the Leased Premises.

13.3 Transfer By Landlord. Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to transfer their interest in the Building, the Property, or any portion thereof at any time and to any person or entity. In the event of any such transfer, the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any subsequent transfer, the transferor), from the date of such transfer shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer provided such transferee assumes responsibility to cure continuing defaults of Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall attorn to any such transferee. After the date of any such transfer, the term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the Building or the Property.

13.4 Force Majeure. The obligations of each of the parties under this Lease (other than the obligations to pay money) shall be temporarily excused if such party, for reasons beyond the party's reasonable control, is prevented or delayed in performing such obligations by reason of any strikes, lockouts or labor disputes; government restrictions, regulations, controls, action or inaction; civil commotion; or extraordinary weather, fire or other acts of God.

13.5 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Lease shall be in writing and (i) personally delivered, (ii) sent by United States mail, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (iii) sent by Federal Express or similar nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) transmitted by facsimile with a hard copy sent within one (1) business day by any of the foregoing means, and in all cases addressed as follows, and such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the date of actual receipt or delivery (or refusal to accept delivery) at

the address specified below (or such other addresses as may be specified by notice in the foregoing manner) as indicated on the return receipt or air xxxx:

Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing shall be deemed received upon actual receipt or refusal to accept delivery.

13.6 Attorneys' Fees. In the event any party shall bring any action, arbitration proceeding or legal proceeding alleging a breach of any provision of this Lease, to recover Rent, to terminate this Lease, or to enforce, protect, determine or establish any term or covenant of this Lease or rights or duties hereunder of either party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party as a part of such action or proceeding, or in a separate action for that purpose brought within one year from the determination of such proceeding, reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by the prevailing party.

13.7 General Waivers. One party's consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the first party's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the first party's consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act by the other party. No waiver of any provision hereof, or any waiver of any breach of any provision hereof, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the waiving party. The receipt by Landlord of any Rent or payment with or without knowledge of the breach of any other provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any such breach.

No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to either party upon any breach by the other party under this Lease shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions herein contained.

13.8 Miscellaneous. Should any provisions of this Lease prove to be invalid or illegal, such invalidity or illegality shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provisions hereof, and such remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
