VERITAS
VERITAS designs, develops and markets software products that help large
organizations rapidly and reliably access, manage, store and restore important
information stored on their networked computer systems. Our products provide
performance improvement and reliability enhancement features that are critical
for many commercial applications. These products enable protection against data
loss and file corruption, rapid recovery after disk or system failure, the
ability to process large files efficiently and the ability to manage and back up
data distributed on large networks of systems without interrupting users. In
addition, our products provide an automated fail over between computer systems
organized in clusters sharing disk resources. Our highly scalable products can
be used independently, and certain products can be combined to provide
interoperable client/server storage management solutions. Some of our products
offer centralized administration with a high degree of automation, enabling
customers to manage complex, distributed environments cost-effectively by
increasing system administrator productivity and system availability. We also
provide a comprehensive range of services to assist customers in planning and
implementing storage management solutions.
We market our products and associated services to original equipment
manufacturers and end-user customers through a combination of direct sales and
indirect sales channels such as resellers, value-added resellers, hardware
distributors, application software vendors and systems integrators. Our original
equipment manufacturer customers include Compaq, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Sun
Microsystems, Microsoft, Sequent Computer Systems and EMC Corporation. Our
end-user customers include AT&T, Bank of America, BMW, Boeing, British
Telecommunications, Daimler-Chrysler Corporation, Lucent Technologies, Oracle
Corporation and Motorola.
VERITAS is the successor to the business previously operated by VERITAS
Software Corporation which we refer to as "Old VERITAS," now known as VERITAS
Operating Corporation. On May 28, 1999 VERITAS acquired the Network & Storage
Management Group business of Seagate Software, Inc., which we refer to as
"NSMG." On June 1, 1999, VERITAS acquired TeleBackup Systems, Inc., which we
refer to as "TeleBackup." Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, we have included in
this prospectus the historical financial statements of Old VERITAS, NSMG and
TeleBackup for periods ending on and prior to March 31, 1999. Unless expressly
stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our," "us," "the
Company" and "VERITAS" refer to VERITAS as the successor to the businesses of
Old VERITAS, NSMG and TeleBackup.
We incorporated in Delaware on October 2, 1998 under the name VERITAS
Holding Corporation. Our address is 1600 Plymouth Street, Mountain View,
California 94043, and our telephone number is (650) 335-8000.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Our reported revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1999, including
one month of operating results for NSMG and TeleBackup, was $114.6 million,
compared with Old VERITAS' revenue of $48.1 million for the same period in 1998.
This was a 138% increase from revenue reported for the three months ended June
30, 1998, including a 143% increase in license revenue from the comparable
quarter in 1998. The revenue growth was driven primarily by increasing market
acceptance of VERITAS' products, a larger percentage of total license revenue
generated through the direct sales channel and the acquisition of NSMG in the
three months ended June 30, 1999. Service revenue grew by 118% and resulted
primarily from increased sales of service and support contracts on new license
sales and, to a lesser extent, from increased renewals of these contracts by our
installed base of licensees. We also experienced an increase in demand for
consulting and training services.
For the three months ended June 30, 1999, we had a net loss of $162.3
million, or $1.33 per share, compared with Old VERITAS' net income of $8.5
million, or $0.08 per share on a diluted basis, for the three months ended June
30, 1998. Included in the net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were
one-time charges of $103.1 million for the write-off of in-process research and
development and $11.0 million for merger and restructuring costs. Also included
in the results for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was purchase accounting
amortization of $76.6 million.
The following table sets forth selected financial data of Old VERITAS for
the five quarters ended March 31, 1999 and VERITAS for the quarter ended June
30, 1999:

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA -- EXCLUDING PURCHASE ACCOUNTING ADJUSTMENTS
On a pro forma basis, which includes the operating results of NSMG and
TeleBackup for the three months ended June 30, 1999, we had revenue of $155.7
million. This represents an increase of 70% from the pro forma revenue of $91.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, and an increase of 16% from
the pro forma revenue of $134.7 million for the three months ended March 31,
1999. Excluding nonrecurring charges of $114.1 million and purchase accounting
amortization of $76.6 million and related adjustments for income taxes, pro
forma net income increased to $29.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999. This represents an increase of 102% over the pro forma net income for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, and an 8% increase over the pro forma net
income of $27.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. After giving
effect to the issuance of shares in the NSMG and the TeleBackup combinations to
all periods, pro forma net income per share on a diluted basis for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 was $0.16. This represents a 100% increase from pro
forma net income per share of $0.08 for the same period last year, and a 7%
increase from pro forma net income per share of $0.15 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999.

The following pro forma statement of operations data is intended to present
VERITAS' operating results for each of the six quarters in the period ended June
30, 1999, excluding purchase accounting adjustments but including the results of
NSMG and TeleBackup and assuming the companies had been combined at the
beginning of the periods presented. These purchase accounting adjustments would
have included, on a pre-tax basis, amortization of developed technology of
approximately $15.0 million per quarter and amortization of goodwill and
intangibles of approximately $214.7 million per quarter. These adjustments would
have also included, on a pre-tax basis, approximately $103.1 million of
in-process research and development charges and approximately $11.0 million of
merger and restructuring costs during the three months ended June 30, 1999.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other
information contained in this prospectus before investing in VERITAS. Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Any of the following factors
could harm our business and could result in a partial or complete loss of your
investment.
WE MAY FAIL TO INTEGRATE OUR BUSINESS WITH THE BUSINESSES OF NSMG AND TELEBACKUP
Product line integration will be difficult. We recently acquired the NSMG
business of Seagate Software, Inc. and TeleBackup and must integrate these
independent businesses with our own. If we fail to integrate these businesses,
our business and our quarterly and annual results of operations may be adversely
affected. One key issue will be the integration of our products with those of
NSMG and TeleBackup. This product line integration will involve consolidating
products with duplicative functionality, coordinating research and development
activities, and converging the technologies supporting the various products. For
example, Old VERITAS' NetBackup product and NSMG's Backup Exec product share
many features and functions, and NSMG's Client Exec product is very similar to
TeleBackup's TSInfoPro. Technology convergence will be particularly difficult
because Old VERITAS' products and NSMG's products lack a common technology
architecture. In particular, NSMG products were not designed for the degree of
scalability that Old VERITAS' products were designed for, nor for use on a
variety of operating systems. Further, we have no experience with product and
technology integration on the scale that resulted from the NSMG and TeleBackup
combinations.
Other business integration issues, if not satisfactorily resolved, could
have a material negative impact on our business. Other problems inherent in
integrating Old VERITAS' business with the businesses of NSMG and TeleBackup
include:
- maintaining brand recognition for key products formerly associated with
NSMG, such as Backup Exec, and TeleBackup, such as TSInfoPro, while
migrating customer identification of these brands to VERITAS;
- resolving channel conflicts that may arise between the original equipment
manufacturer and direct sales distribution channels of Old VERITAS and
the retail channels acquired in the NSMG combination;
- coordinating, integrating and streamlining geographically dispersed
operations, such as engineering facilities in California, Minnesota,
Florida, North Carolina, Maryland, Colorado, Massachusetts, Washington,
Canada and India; and
- coping with customers' uncertainty about continued support for
duplicative products.
The integration will be expensive and is likely to interrupt our ordinary
business activities. Any of these risks could harm our revenues and results of
operations.
Management and employee integration issues, if not satisfactorily resolved,
could have a material negative impact on our business. Potential management and
employee integration problems include:
- resolving differences between the corporate cultures of Old VERITAS and
the NSMG business and TeleBackup; and
- integrating the management teams of all three companies successfully. For
example, Terence Cunningham, our President and Chief Operating Officer,
who joined VERITAS from NSMG, recently resigned.

WE WILL INCUR SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING CHARGES IN CONNECTION WITH THE NSMG AND
TELEBACKUP COMBINATIONS THAT WILL REDUCE OUR EARNINGS IMMEDIATELY AND IN THE
FUTURE
The significant costs of integration associated with the NSMG and
TeleBackup combinations increase the risk that we will not realize the
anticipated benefits. Because we accounted for the NSMG combination and the
TeleBackup combination as purchases, we recorded non-cash charges of $103.1
million in our statements of operations in the three months ended June 30, 1999,
related to the write-off of in-process research and development. We also
recorded goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $3,678.5 million.
This amount will be amortized over four years, and will result in charges to
operations of approximately $229.7 million per quarter. We also recorded a
restructuring charge in the three months ended June 30, 1999 of $11.0 million
related primarily to costs for duplicative facilities of Old VERITAS which we
plan to vacate. These costs are in addition to the liability for the estimated
costs to vacate duplicative facilities of the NSMG business.
WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DEBT WHICH WE MAY BE UNABLE TO SERVICE OR REPAY
In connection with the sale of the notes in our concurrent offering, we
will incur $662.0 million of indebtedness ($761.3 million if the over-allotment
option is exercised in full) which will result in our having as of March 31,
1999, a ratio of long-term debt to total capitalization of approximately 17%
(19% if the over-allotment option we granted the underwriters in our concurrent
note offering is exercised in full). We sold $100.0 million in aggregate
principal amount of 5.25% convertible subordinated notes due 2004 in October
1997. The annual interest payments on our outstanding notes are $5.3 million.
The annual interest payments on the notes offered in the concurrent offering is
expected to be $ million, which we expect to fund from cash flow from
operations.
We will need to generate substantial amounts of cash from our operations to
fund interest payments and to repay the principal amount of debt when it
matures, while at the same time funding capital expenditures and our other
working capital needs. If we do not have sufficient cash to repay our debts as
they become due, we may be unable to refinance our debt on reasonable terms or
at all. For example, the notes we are offering concurrently could be declared
immediately due and payable if we do not make timely payments. While our cash
flow has been sufficient to fund interest payments to date, if we cannot meet
our debt obligations from the cash generated by our business, we may not be able
to develop and sell new products, respond to changing business or economic
conditions adequately, make acquisitions or otherwise fund our business.
OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY AS A RESULT OF FACTORS OUTSIDE
OUR CONTROL, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR STOCK TO DECLINE
Fluctuations in our operating results are likely to affect the market price
of our common stock in a manner that may be unrelated to our long-term operating
performance. The more likely it is that market prices of our common stock will
fluctuate, the riskier is your decision to acquire our common stock. In
addition, the number of factors that could affect our operating results makes an
investment in our common stock riskier than many other investments.
Our revenues in any quarter will depend substantially on orders we receive
and ship in that quarter. In addition, we typically receive a significant
portion of orders in any quarter during the last two weeks of the quarter, and
we cannot predict whether those orders will be placed, fulfilled and shipped in
that period. If we have lower revenues than we expect, we probably will not be
able to reduce our operating expenses quickly in response. Therefore, any
significant shortfall in revenues or delay of customer orders could have an
immediate adverse effect on our operating results in that quarter.
9
<PAGE> 11
The operating results of Old VERITAS, as well as the operating results of
NSMG and TeleBackup, have fluctuated in the past, and our operating results are
likely to fluctuate significantly in the future. Factors that could affect our
operating results include:
- the timing and magnitude of sales through original equipment
manufacturers;
- the unpredictability of the timing and level of sales to large
distributors in the retail channel and our direct sales force, which tend
to generate sales later in our quarters than original equipment
manufacturer sales;
- the timing and magnitude of large orders;
- the timing and amount of our marketing, sales and product development
expenses;
- the cost and time required to develop new software products;
- the introduction, timing and market acceptance of new products;
- our ability to deliver products that are Year 2000 compliant;
- the timing of revenue recognition for sales of software products and
services;
- changes in data storage and networking technology or introduction of new
operating system upgrades by original equipment manufacturers, which
could require us to modify our products or develop new products;
- the relative growth rates of the Windows NT and UNIX markets;
- the rate of adoption of Microsoft's release of the next version of
Windows NT, or Windows 2000, by users;
- pricing policies and distribution terms; and
- the timing and magnitude of acquisitions.
WE DEPEND ON LARGE ORDERS WITH LENGTHY SALES CYCLES FOR A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF
OUR REVENUES
Our revenues for a quarter could fluctuate significantly based on whether a
large order is closed near the end of a quarter or delayed. Customer orders can
range in value from a few thousand to a few million dollars. The length of time
between initial contact with a potential customer and sale of a product, or our
sales cycle, outside the retail channel is typically complex and lengthy, so it
can last from three to nine months. These direct sales also represent our
largest orders. Therefore, our revenues for a period are likely to be affected
by the timing of larger orders, which makes those revenues difficult to predict.
The cycle factors that could delay or defer an order, include:
- time needed for technical evaluations of our software by customers;
- customer budget restrictions;
- customer internal review and testing procedures; and
- engineering work needed to integrate our software with the customers'
systems.
WE FACE MANY NEW DIFFICULTIES MANAGING A LARGER COMPANY
The NSMG and TeleBackup combinations have created new challenges for our
management. If we fail to meet those challenges, our business and quarterly and
annual results of operations may be harmed and the value of your investment may
decline. Old VERITAS grew rapidly before the NSMG and TeleBackup combinations.
After these combinations, our workforce is approximately twice the size of Old
VERITAS' workforce, and we still need to hire additional sales, engineering,
service and administrative personnel. This growth is likely to strain our
management control systems and resources, including decision support,
accounting, management information systems and facilities. We must
10
<PAGE> 12
continue to improve our financial and management controls and our reporting
systems and procedures to manage our employees and to obtain additional
facilities.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO HIRE AND RETAIN NEEDED SALES AND ENGINEERING PERSONNEL
Our personnel needs are more acute than those facing most companies. As a
result of the NSMG and TeleBackup combinations, we must hire many additional
sales, engineering, service and administrative personnel. If we are unable to
hire and retain these employees, our business and quarterly and annual results
of operations will be adversely affected. Competition for people with the skills
we require is intense. Additions of new personnel and departures of existing
personnel may disrupt our business and may result in the departure of other
employees. We also depend on the continued service of our key personnel. Even
though we have entered into employment agreements with key management personnel,
these agreements cannot prevent their departure. For example, Terence
Cunningham, our President and Chief Operating Officer, who joined VERITAS from
NSMG, resigned effective August 30, 1999. We do not have key person life
insurance covering any of our personnel, nor do we currently intend to obtain
any of this insurance.
WE DISTRIBUTE OUR PRODUCTS THROUGH MULTIPLE DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS, EACH OF WHICH
IS SUBJECT TO RISKS
Historically, Old VERITAS sold products through original equipment
manufacturers and through direct sales. As a result of the NSMG and TeleBackup
combinations, however, we also have a retail distribution channel as well. If we
fail to manage our distribution channels successfully, our business and
quarterly and annual results of operations may be materially and adversely
affected.
Retail distribution. Certain software products of the former NSMG business
are sold primarily in the retail channel. Our management faces different
challenges than it faces in selling most of our other products. For example:
- the VERITAS brand does not have the same level of recognition in the
retail channel;
- retail distribution typically involves shorter product life cycles; and
- the retail channel has higher risks of product returns, higher marketing
expenses and less predictable market demand.
Moreover, our retail distributors have no obligation to continue selling the
products previously sold by NSMG and TeleBackup and may terminate our
relationship at any time.
Direct sales. We also depend on our direct sales force to sell our
products. This involves a number of risks, including:
- longer sales cycles for direct sales;
- our need to hire, train, retain and motivate our sales force; and
- the length of time it takes our new sales representatives to become
productive.
Original equipment manufacturers. A portion of our revenue is expected to
come from original equipment manufacturers that incorporate our storage
management software into systems they sell. We have no control over the shipping
dates or volumes of systems the original equipment manufacturers ship and they
have no obligation to ship systems incorporating our software. They also have no
obligation to recommend or offer our software products exclusively or at all.
They have no minimum sales requirements and can terminate our relationship at
any time. These original equipment manufacturers also could choose to develop
their own storage management products internally and incorporate those products
into their systems in lieu of our products. Finally, the original equipment
manufacturers that we do business with compete with one another. To the extent
that one of our of original equipment manufacturer customers views the products
we have developed for another original equipment manufac-
11
<PAGE> 13
turer as competing with its products, it may decide to stop doing business with
us, which could harm our business.
Development agreements for original equipment manufacturers. We have
important original equipment manufacturer agreements with Hewlett-Packard, Sun
Microsystems, Microsoft, Dell, Seagate Technology and Compaq Computer. Under
these agreements we develop "lite" versions of our products to be included in
these original equipment manufacturers' systems software and products.
Developing products for these original equipment manufacturers causes us to
divert significant resources from other activities which are also important to
our business. If these "lite" versions do not result in substantial revenues,
our revenue could be adversely affected.
OUR DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS COULD CONFLICT WITH ONE ANOTHER
We have many different distribution channels. If we cannot use these
distribution channels efficiently, our business and quarterly and annual results
of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Our original equipment
manufacturers, resellers and direct sales force might target similar sales
opportunities, which could lead to inefficient allocation of sales resources. We
may also try to sell full versions of the products to customers of the original
equipment manufacturers for whom we have developed "lite" versions of our
products. This would result in us marketing similar products to end-users. These
overlapping sales efforts could also adversely affect our relationships with our
original equipment manufacturers and other sales channels and result in them
being less willing to market our products aggressively. If our indirect sales
decline, we would need to accelerate our investments in alternative distribution
channels. We may not be able to do this in a timely manner, or at all.
OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS WITH MICROSOFT COULD CAUSE US TO LOSE CUSTOMERS
We have important agreements with Microsoft under which we develop software
for its Windows operating system. However, if we do not develop these products
in time for the release of Microsoft's Windows NT 5.0, or Windows 2000,
operating system, Microsoft will not include our products in this operating
system. Even if we do develop these products on time, Microsoft is not obligated
under the agreements to include them in this operating system. If for any reason
our software is not included in Windows 2000 we will lose our expected
opportunity to market additional products to the Windows NT installed customer
base, as well as suffer negative publicity. In addition, we would lose the
investment we have made in developing products for inclusion in Windows 2000.
Risks of delay of release of Windows 2000. Microsoft is not required to
release Windows 2000 on any particular date. If the release of this operating
system is delayed it will be more difficult for us to market and sell our
products to Windows NT users.
Microsoft could develop competing products. Microsoft can also develop
enhancements to and derivative products from our software products that are
embedded in Windows NT products. If Microsoft develops any enhancements or
derivative products, or enhances its own base products with equivalent
functionality, Microsoft could choose to compete with us.
SALES OF A SMALL NUMBER OF PRODUCT LINES MAKE UP A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF OUR
REVENUE
For the foreseeable future, we expect to derive a substantial majority of
our revenue from a limited number of software products. If many customers do not
purchase these products as a result of competition, technological change or
other factors, our revenue would decrease and our business and quarterly and
annual results of operations would be materially and adversely affected. In the
year ended December 31, 1998, Old VERITAS derived approximately 87.4% of its
license revenue from storage management products, and the NSMG business derived
87.9% of its revenue from its Backup Exec product. In the three months ended
March 31, 1999, Old VERITAS derived approximately 75.5% of its license revenue
from storage management products and the NSMG business derived 90.2% from its
12
<PAGE> 14
Backup Exec product. Also, Old VERITAS' NetBackup product and NSMG's Backup Exec
product perform some overlapping functions. Customers may select one product
over the other, resulting in reduced revenue for the product not selected.
Therefore, we may not receive the same aggregate level of revenue from these
products as we have received in the past.
OUR PRODUCTS HAVE RELATIVELY SHORT LIFE CYCLES
Our software products have a limited life cycle and it is difficult to
estimate when they will become obsolete. This makes it difficult for us to
forecast revenue and makes your investment more risky. If we do not develop and
introduce new products before our existing products have completed their life
cycles, we will not be able to sustain our level of sales. In addition, to
succeed, many customers must adopt our new products early in each product's life
cycle. Therefore, if we do not attract sufficient customers early in a product's
life, we may not realize the amount of revenue we anticipated for the product.
We cannot be sure that we will continue to be successful in marketing our key
products.
WE DERIVE SIGNIFICANT REVENUES FROM ONLY A FEW CUSTOMERS
Sales to a small number of customers generate a disproportionate amount of
our revenue. For example, in the year ended December 31, 1998, Old VERITAS
derived 12% of its revenue from sales to Sun Microsystems and the NSMG business
derived 28% of its revenue from sales to Ingram Micro Inc. In the three months
ended March 31, 1999 Old VERITAS derived 12% of its revenue from sales to Sun
Microsystems and the NSMG business derived 24% of its revenue from sales to
Ingram Micro Inc. If Sun Microsystems or Ingram Micro, or any other significant
customer, were to reduce its purchases from us, our revenue and therefore our
business would be harmed unless we were to increase sales to other customers
substantially. We do not have a contract with Sun Microsystems, Ingram Micro or
any other customer that requires the customer to purchase any specified number
of software licenses from us. Therefore, we cannot be sure that these customers
will continue to purchase our products at current levels.
WE FACE UNCERTAINTIES PORTING PRODUCTS TO NEW OPERATING SYSTEMS AND DEVELOPING
NEW PRODUCTS
Some of our products operate primarily on the UNIX computer operating
system. We are currently redesigning, or porting, these products to operate on
the Windows NT operating system. We are also developing new products for UNIX
and for Windows NT. TeleBackup's products operate on the Sun Solaris version of
UNIX, the Windows and Windows NT operating systems. We intend to port the
TeleBackup products to other UNIX operating systems and subsequent releases of
Windows NT. We may not be able to accomplish any of this work quickly or
cost-effectively.
These activities require substantial capital investment, substantial
employee resources and the cooperation of the owners of the operating systems to
or for which the products are being ported or developed. Our porting and
development work for the Windows NT market has required us to hire additional
personnel with Windows NT expertise and to devote engineering resources to these
projects. We must obtain from operating system owners a source code license to
certain portions of the operating system software to port some of our products
to or develop products for the operating system. Operating system owners have no
obligation to assist in these porting or development efforts. If they do not
grant us a license or if they do not renew our license, we would not be able to
expand our product line easily into other areas. For example, we rely on a
source code license from Microsoft with respect to our Windows NT development
projects. Microsoft is under no obligation to renew the source code license,
which is subject to annual renewal.
13
<PAGE> 15
THE MARKET FOR TSINFOPRO IS UNPROVEN
TeleBackup's primary product, TSInfoPro, which is designed to back up data
for remote PC users, represents new technology that has no proven market. A
market may not develop for this product or similarly unproven products in the
future. This could harm our business because our investment in TeleBackup, and
any additional development and marketing costs, would be lost, and any expected
revenue opportunities would not materialize.
WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION ON SEVERAL FRONTS
We face a variety of tough competitors, principal among which are:
- internal development groups within original equipment manufacturers that
provide storage management functions to support their systems;
- other software vendors and hardware companies that offer products with
some of our products' features, such as controller and disk subsystem
manufacturers;
- hardware and software vendors that offer storage application products;
- hardware and software vendors that offer high availability and clustering
products; and
- software vendors focused on remote backup technologies and electronic
data vaulting services.
Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial and technical
resources than we do and may attempt to increase their presence in the storage
management market by acquiring or forming strategic alliances with other
competitors or business partners.
POTENTIAL YEAR 2000 RISKS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS
We are in the process of conducting an extensive review of our products and
services and of our internal business systems and infrastructure to identify
potential Year 2000 problems and are implementing remedial action to address
those problems. While we do not expect to encounter any problems that would be
material to our business or to incur significant costs in fixing Year 2000
problems, if we do not identify and remedy these problems in a timely and
efficient manner, we could experience substantial disruptions to our operations.
Failure to achieve Year 2000 readiness of our systems or products could lead to
loss of existing and potential customers and subsequent costly litigation claims
against us. Factors outside our control, such as loss of water and power,
telecommunications systems, banking systems and transportation systems, could
also cause substantial business disruption. Please see "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Old
VERITAS -- Year 2000 Compliance" and "-- NSMG -- Year 2000 Readiness" for
detailed information on our Year 2000 readiness.
EXPANDING OUR INTERNATIONAL SALES DEPENDS ON ECONOMIC STABILITY IN REGIONS THAT
RECENTLY HAVE BEEN UNSTABLE
An investment in our common stock is riskier than an investment in many
other companies because we plan to expand in overseas markets such as Asia,
Russia and Latin America that have experienced significant economic turmoil in
recent years. Continued turmoil could adversely affect our plans to increase
sales in these regions. Economic recession could also affect our ability to
maintain or increase sales in these or other regions in the future. Our concern
is that recession in these markets could lead to:
- restrictions on government spending imposed by the International Monetary
Fund;
- customers' reduced access to working capital to fund software purchases;
- higher interest rates; and
- reduced bank lending or other sources of financing for customers and
potential customers.
14
<PAGE> 16
Any of these factors could cause foreign customers to substantially reduce their
purchase of our products.
OUR FOREIGN-BASED OPERATIONS AND SALES CREATE SPECIAL PROBLEMS THAT COULD HURT
OUR RESULTS
An investment in our common stock is riskier than an investment in most
businesses because we have significant offshore operations, including
development facilities, sales personnel and customer support operations. For
example, as of July 15, 1999, we had approximately 141 engineers located in
Pune, India, performing product development work. These offshore operations are
subject to certain inherent risks, including:
- potential loss of developed technology through piracy, misappropriation,
or more lax laws regarding intellectual property protection;
- imposition of governmental controls, including trade restrictions;
- fluctuations in currency exchange rates and economic instability;
- longer payment cycles for sales in foreign countries;
- difficulties in staffing and managing the offshore operations;
- seasonal reductions in business activity in the summer months in Europe
and other countries; and
- political unrest, particularly in areas in which we have facilities.
In addition, our international sales are denominated in local currency,
creating risk of foreign currency translation gains and losses that could harm
our financial results. If we generate profits or losses in foreign countries,
our effective income tax rate could also be harmed. The currency instability in
Asia and other financial markets may make our products more expensive than
products sold by other vendors that are priced in one of the affected
currencies. Therefore, customers in these markets may choose not to purchase our
products.
OUR GROWTH STRATEGY IS RISKIER THAN OTHERS BECAUSE IT IS BASED UPON ACQUISITIONS
OF OTHER BUSINESSES
An investment in our common stock is riskier than investments in other
companies because we plan to continue to pursue our strategy of growth through
acquisition. We have grown aggressively through acquisitions in the past and
expect to pursue acquisitions in the future. Acquisitions involve a number of
special risks and challenges, including:
- diversion of management attention, particularly in the case of multiple
concurrent acquisitions;
- integration of the acquired company's operations and employees with an
existing business;
- incorporation of technology into existing product lines;
- loss of key employees; and
- presentation of a unified corporate image.
In the past, we have lost certain employees of acquired companies whom we
desired to retain. In some cases, the integration of the operations of acquired
companies took longer than initially anticipated. In addition, if the employees
of target companies remain geographically dispersed from our existing staff, we
may not realize some or all of the anticipated economies of scale.
THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK HAS FLUCTUATED SIGNIFICANTLY
The market price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past and is
likely to continue to fluctuate. In addition, the securities markets,
particularly with respect to technology stocks, have experienced significant
price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating
performance of companies.

future results.
UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Old VERITAS and the NSMG business reported their quarterly and annual
results of operations using methods required by generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States. TeleBackup reported quarterly and annual
results of operations using methods required by generally accepted accounting
principles in Canada. United States and Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles are not materially different with respect to TeleBackup's financial
statements. For a summary of the principal differences between U.S. and Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles, see Note 13 in the consolidated
financial statements of TeleBackup included in this prospectus.
Old VERITAS had never declared or paid cash dividends on its common stock.
We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings to fund development
and growth of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in
the foreseeable future.

VERITAS SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL DATA
We are providing the following summary unaudited pro forma financial data
to give you a better picture of what the results of operations and financial
position of the combined businesses of Old VERITAS, the NSMG business and
TeleBackup might have looked like had the NSMG combination and the TeleBackup
combination occurred at an earlier date. This information is provided for
illustrative purposes only and does not show what the results of operations or
financial position of VERITAS would have been if the NSMG combination and the
TeleBackup combination actually occurred on the dates assumed. In addition, this
information does not indicate what VERITAS' future consolidated operating
results or consolidated financial position will be. Both the NSMG combination
and the TeleBackup combination closed during the second quarter of 1999.
HOW THE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA WAS PREPARED
We derived this data from the VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined
condensed statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 and
three months ended March 31, 1999 and the VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined
condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 1999. These statements give effect to
the NSMG combination and the TeleBackup combination accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. The pro forma combined condensed statements of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999 assumes the
NSMG combination and the TeleBackup combination took place on January 1, 1998.
The pro forma combined condensed balance sheet assumes the NSMG combination and
the TeleBackup combination took place on March 31, 1999.
THESE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS
We prepared these statements on the basis of assumptions described in the
notes, including assumptions relating to the allocation of the amount of
consideration paid for the assets and liabilities of the NSMG business and
TeleBackup based upon preliminary estimates of their fair values. The actual
allocation of the amount of consideration paid may differ from those assumptions
after valuations and other procedures to be performed have taken place.
CHARGES RESULTING FROM THE COMBINATIONS
VERITAS recorded charges to operations during the three months ended June
30, 1999 related to in-process research and development of $101.2 million as a
result of the NSMG combination and $1.9 million as a result of the TeleBackup
combination.
In addition, VERITAS recorded a restructuring charge in the three months
ended June 30, 1999 of $11.0 million, primarily related to exit costs with
respect to duplicate facilities of Old VERITAS that VERITAS plans to vacate.
These costs are in addition to the liability for the estimated costs to vacate
duplicative facilities of the NSMG business, which liability was assumed by
VERITAS and included as a part of the purchase price. The VERITAS unaudited pro
forma combined condensed balance sheet includes the effect of these charges.
However, the VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of
operations do not reflect these charges because they are non-recurring.
YOU SHOULD READ THESE SUMMARY PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WITH THE HISTORICAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The VERITAS summary unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data
should be read in conjunction with the VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined
condensed financial statements and the related notes, which begin at page F-26.
They should also be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of
Old VERITAS which begin at Page F-3 of this prospectus, the financial statements
of the NSMG business, which begin at page F-42 of this prospectus, and the
financial

<PAGE> 24
statements of TeleBackup which begin at page F-74 of this prospectus. The
VERITAS summary unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data are not
necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial
position would have been had the NSMG combination and the TeleBackup combination
taken place on January 1, 1998 or March 31, 1999, and do not indicate VERITAS'
future results of operations or financial position.

VERITAS UNAUDITED COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA
The following tables present certain unaudited historical and unaudited pro
forma per share data that reflect the completion of the NSMG combination and the
TeleBackup combination. This data should be read in conjunction with the VERITAS
unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements, and the historical
financial statements of Old VERITAS, the NSMG business and TeleBackup included
elsewhere in this document. VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed per
share data does not necessarily indicate the operating results that would have
been achieved had the NSMG combination and the TeleBackup combination occurred
at the beginning of the periods presented, and do not indicate future results of
operations or financial position.
The NSMG business was an operating division of Seagate Software and had no
formal capital structure. Therefore, historical per share information for the
NSMG business is not presented.
The following options and other potential common securities, based upon the
options outstanding as of the periods presented and closing price of Old VERITAS
common stock as of the effective time, have not been included in the computation

CALCULATION OF BOOK VALUE PER SHARE AMOUNTS
The pro forma book value per share is computed by dividing pro forma
stockholders' equity by the pro forma number of shares outstanding at the end of
each period for which the computation is made. For purposes of computing the
book value per share of Old VERITAS as of December 31, 1998, book value of
$169.9 million was divided by actual shares outstanding of 95,257,484. For
purposes of computing the book value of Old VERITAS as of March 31, 1999, book
value of $190.3 million was divided by actual shares outstanding of 96,184,862.
For purposes of computing the book value per share of TeleBackup as of December
31, 1998, book value of C$4.3 million was divided by the actual shares
outstanding of 11,158,745. For purposes of computing the book value of
TeleBackup as of March 31, 1999, book value of C$4.0 million was divided by
actual shares outstanding of 11,363,445. For purposes of computing the pro forma
book value per share of VERITAS as of December 31, 1998, pro forma net book
value of $3,613.4 million was divided by pro forma actual shares outstanding of
167,447,484. For purposes of computing the pro forma book value of VERITAS as of
March 31, 1999, pro forma book value of $3,633.5 million was divided by pro

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the Financial
Statements of Old VERITAS, the NSMG business and TeleBackup and accompanying
notes, each which appear elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion
contains forward-looking statements that reflect the plans, estimates and
beliefs of each of Old VERITAS, the NSMG business and TeleBackup. Our actual
results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include,
but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus,
particularly in "Risk Factors."
VERITAS is the leading independent supplier of enterprise data storage
management solutions, providing advanced storage management software for open
system environments. Our products provide performance improvement and
reliability enhancement features that are critical for many commercial
applications. These products enable protection against data loss and file
corruption, rapid recovery after disk or system failure, the ability to process
large files efficiently and the ability to manage and back up data distributed
on large networks of systems without interrupting users. In addition, our
products provide an automated fail over between computer systems organized in
clusters sharing disk resources. Our highly scalable products can be used
independently, and certain products can be combined to provide interoperable
client/server storage management solutions. Some of our products offer
centralized administration with a high degree of automation, enabling customers
to manage complex, distributed environments cost-effectively by increasing
system administrator productivity and system availability. We also provide a
comprehensive range of services to assist customers in planning and implementing
storage management solutions. We market our products and associated services to
original equipment manufacturers and end-user customers through a combination of
direct sales and indirect sales channels. These indirect sales channels include
resellers, value added resellers, hardware distributors, application software
vendors and systems integrators.
In connection with the NSMG combination, in consideration for the
contribution and transfer of contributed stock and assets by Seagate Technology,
Inc., which we refer to as "STI" and Seagate Software, Inc., which we refer to
as "SSI," and their respective subsidiaries, we issued to SSI 69,148,208 shares
of our common stock and issued options to purchase 6,945,048 shares of our
common stock to our employees who are former NSMG employees.
We accounted for the NSMG and TeleBackup acquisitions using the purchase
method of accounting. We expect to incur charges of $229.7 million per quarter
primarily related to the amortization of acquired goodwill and other intangibles
over a four-year period. We recorded charges to operations of $103.1 million in
the three months ended June 30, 1999, for a one-time write-off related to
acquired in-process research and development costs. In addition, we recorded a
restructuring charge of $11.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999 as
a result of the NSMG combination. This one-time restructuring charge relates
primarily to exit costs with respect to duplicative facilities of Old VERITAS,
which we plan to vacate. These costs are in addition to the liability for the
costs to vacate duplicative facilities of the NSMG business, which liability we
assumed and included as a part of the purchase price.
Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the following discussion has been
separated into two parts to discuss Old VERITAS and the NSMG business without
giving effect to the NSMG combination. The TeleBackup combination is not
reflected in either of the following analyses.
OLD VERITAS
The terms "we," "our," "us," and "VERITAS," when used in the section
captioned "-- OLD VERITAS" refer to VERITAS Software Corporation, a Delaware
corporation now known as VERITAS
26
<PAGE> 28
Operating Corporation, and which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of VERITAS
Software Corporation, formerly known as VERITAS Holding Corporation.
OVERVIEW
We derive our user license fee revenue from shipments of our software
programs to end-user customers through direct sales channels, indirect sales
channels and original equipment manufacturer customers. Our original equipment
manufacturer customers either bundle our products with the original equipment
manufacturer products they license or offer them as options. Certain original
equipment manufacturers may also resell our products. We receive a user license
fee each time the original equipment manufacturer licenses a copy of the
original equipment manufacturer's products to a customer that incorporates one
or more of our products. Our license agreements with original equipment
manufacturer customers generally contain no minimum sales requirements and we
cannot assure you that any original equipment manufacturer will either commence
or continue shipping operating systems incorporating our products in the future.
Moreover, following the execution of new agreements between us and original
equipment manufacturer customers and resellers, a significant period of time may
elapse before any revenues are generated due to the development work which we
must generally undertake under such agreements and the time needed for the sales
and marketing organizations within such customers and distributors to become
familiar with and gain confidence in our products.
Our services revenue consists of fees derived from annual maintenance
agreements, from consulting and training services and from porting fees. The
original equipment manufacturer maintenance agreements covering our products
provide for technical and emergency support and minor unspecified product
upgrades for a fixed annual fee. The maintenance agreements covering products
that are licensed through channels other than through original equipment
manufacturer channels provide for technical support and unspecified product
upgrades for an annual service fee based on the number of user licenses
purchased and the level of service subscribed. Porting fees consist of fees
derived from porting and other non-recurring engineering efforts when we port,
or adapt, our storage management products to an original equipment
manufacturer's operating system and when we develop new product features or
extensions of existing product features at the request of a customer. In most
cases, we retain the rights to technology derived from porting and non-recurring
engineering work for licensing to other customers and therefore generally do
such work on a relatively low, and sometimes negative, margin. We have made, and
intend to continue to make, a substantial investment in porting our products to
new operating systems, including Windows NT. The success of the Windows NT
product development may be dependent on receipt of development funding from
third parties, including Microsoft, and failure to receive such funding could
hamper our efforts to timely expand our products into the Windows NT market. The
porting and development process requires substantial capital investment and the
devotion of substantial employee resources to such effort and the added focus on
Windows NT development has required, and will continue to require, us to hire
additional personnel. Under an agreement with Microsoft, we have committed to
develop a functional subset of our Volume Manager product that will be ported to
and embedded in Windows NT. The agreement also requires us to develop a disk
management graphical user interface designed specifically for Windows NT.
Microsoft has provided us with significant funding towards such development
effort. We recognize revenue under the development contract with Microsoft on a
percentage-of-completion basis consistent with our policy for revenue
recognition for other similar agreements. The payment terms in the Microsoft
agreement do not directly correlate to the timing of development efforts and
therefore revenue recognition does not directly correlate to contract billings.
The Microsoft relationship requires us to expand our marketing and sales
operations to deal with higher volume markets in which we have limited
experience. See "Risk Factors -- We face uncertainties porting products to new
operating systems and developing new products" and "-- We distribute our
products through multiple distribution channels, each of which is subject to
risks."

Our international sales are generated primarily through our international
sales subsidiaries. International revenue outside the United States and Canada,
most of which is collectible in foreign currencies, accounted for 18% of our
total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 22% of total
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Our international revenue
increased 56% from $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to
$13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Since much of our
international operating expenses are also incurred in local currencies, the
relative impact of exchange rates on net income or loss is relatively less than
the impact on revenues. Although our operating and pricing strategies take into
account changes in exchange rates over time, our operating results may be
significantly affected in the short term by fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates. Our international subsidiaries purchase licenses from the parent
company resulting in intercompany receivables and payables. These receivables
and payables are carried on each company's books at the local currency that
existed at the time of the transaction. Such receivables and payables are
eliminated for financial statement reporting purposes. Prior to elimination, the
amounts carried in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollars at the then
current rate, or "marked to market." The marked to market process may give rise
to currency gains and losses. Such gains or losses are recognized on our
statement of operations as a component of other income, net. To date, such gains
or losses have not been material.
We believe that our success depends upon continued expansion of our
international operations. We currently have sales and service offices in the
United States, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Sweden,
Switzerland and the Netherlands, a development center in India, and resellers
located in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America and the Middle
East. International expansion may require us to establish additional foreign
offices, hire additional personnel and recruit additional international
resellers, resulting in the diversion of significant management attention and
the expenditure of financial resources. To the extent that we are unable to
effect these additions efficiently, growth in international sales will be
limited, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating
results and financial condition. International operations also subject us to a
number of risks inherent in developing and selling products outside the United
States, including potential loss of developed technology, limited protection of
intellectual property rights, imposition of government regulation, imposition of
export duties and restrictions, cultural differences in the conduct of business,
and political and economic instability. Furthermore, certain global markets,
including Asia, Russia and Latin America, are currently undergoing significant
economic turmoil which could result in deferral of purchase of information
technology products and services by potential customers located in such markets,
thereby further limiting our ability to expand international operations. See
"Risk Factors -- Expanding our international sales depends on economic stability
in regions that recently have been unstable."
On February 3, 1999, we completed the acquisition of OpenVision Australia
Pty. Ltd., a company principally engaged in reselling our software products and
services throughout Australia and New Zealand, for a total cost of approximately
$300,000 in cash. The business combination has been accounted for as a purchase
and the purchase price allocated to the fair value of specific net tangible and
intangible assets acquired.
On February 8, 1999, we completed the acquisition of the Pune, India
operations of Frontier Software Development (India) Private Limited, a company
principally engaged in the development of customized software, for a total cost
of approximately $2.4 million. Of this amount, we paid $1.3 million in cash and
agreed to pay Frontier certain earn-out payments totaling $1.1 million over the
next two years. The business combination has been accounted for as a purchase
and the purchase price, including the $1.1 million of earn-out payments,
allocated to the fair value of specific net tangible and intangible assets
acquired.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 VERSUS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
Net Revenue
Total net revenue increased 84% from $39.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 to $71.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
VERITAS believes that the percentage increase in total revenue achieved in this
period is not necessarily indicative of future results. VERITAS' revenue is
comprised of user license fees and service revenue. Growth in user license fees
has been driven primarily by increasing market acceptance of VERITAS' products,
introduction of new products and a larger percentage of total license revenue
generated through the direct sales channel. Service revenue is derived primarily
from contracts for software maintenance and technical support and, to a lesser
extent, consulting services, training services and porting fees. The growth in
service revenue has been driven primarily by increased sales of service and
support contracts on new license sales and, to a lesser extent, by increasing
renewals of these contracts by VERITAS' installed base of licensees. VERITAS
also
29
<PAGE> 31
experienced an increase in demand for consulting and training services. Porting
fees are derived from VERITAS' funded development efforts that are typically
associated with VERITAS' agreements with original equipment manufacturers. User
license fees were 78% of total net revenue for the three months ended March 31,
1999, and 79% of total net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
User License Fees. User license fees increased 82% from $30.7 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $55.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. The increase was primarily the result of continued growth
in market acceptance of VERITAS' software products, a greater volume of large
end-user transactions, increased revenue from original equipment manufacturer
resales of bundled and unbundled VERITAS products and the introduction of new
products. In particular, VERITAS' user license fees from storage products
increased by approximately 57% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998, and accounted for 75% of user
license fees in the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 87% of user license
fees in the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Service Revenue. Service revenue increased 92% from $8.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 to $16.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. The increase was primarily due to increased sales of service and
support contracts on new licenses, renewal of service and support contracts on
existing licenses and, to a lesser extent, an increase in demand for consulting
and training services.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of user license fees consists primarily of royalties, media, manuals
and distribution costs. Cost of service revenue consists primarily of
personnel-related costs in providing maintenance, technical support, consulting
and training to customers, and development efforts in porting. Gross margin on
user license fees is substantially higher than gross margin on service revenue,
reflecting the low materials, packaging and other costs of software products
compared with the relatively high personnel costs associated with providing
maintenance, technical support, consulting, training services and development
efforts. Cost of service revenue also varies based upon the mix of maintenance,
technical support, consulting and training services.
Cost of User License Fees. Cost of user license fees remained relatively
constant at $2.0 million for each of the three month periods ended March 31,
1999 and March 31, 1998. Gross margin on user license fees increased from 94%
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to 96% for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. The gross margin on user license fees may vary from period to
period based on the license revenue mix and certain products having higher
royalty rates than other products. VERITAS does not expect significant
improvements in gross margin on user license fees.
Cost of Service Revenue. Cost of service revenue increased 45% from $4.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $6.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. Gross margin on service revenue increased from 46%
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to 60% for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to personnel
additions in our customer support and training and consulting organizations, in
anticipation of increased demand for such services. The improvement in gross
margin in the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1998 was a result of increased productivity and higher service
revenue growth due to a larger installed customer base paying support revenue.
Operating Expenses
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of
salaries, related benefits, commissions, consultant fees and other costs
associated with VERITAS' sales and marketing efforts. Selling and marketing
expenses increased 105% from $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
1998 to $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Selling and
marketing
30
<PAGE> 32
expenses as a percentage of total net revenue increased from 33% for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 to 37% for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
The increase was primarily the result of higher personnel and related costs
associated with increased staffing. VERITAS intends to continue to expand its
global sales and marketing infrastructure, and accordingly, VERITAS expects its
selling and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars but not to change
significantly as a percentage of revenue in the future.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist
primarily of salaries, related benefits, third-party consultant fees and other
engineering-related costs. Research and development expenses increased 83% from
$7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $13.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase was due primarily to increased
staffing levels. As a percentage of total net revenue, research and development
expenses remained consistent at 19% for the three months ended March 31, 1999
and 1998. VERITAS believes that a significant level of research and development
investment is required to remain competitive, and expects such expenses will
continue to increase in absolute dollars in future periods, although such
expenses may decline slightly as a percentage of total net revenue to the extent
revenue increases. Research and development expenses can be expected to
fluctuate from time to time to the extent that VERITAS makes periodic
incremental investments in research and development and VERITAS' level of
revenue fluctuates.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries, related benefits and fees for professional services, such
as legal and accounting services. General and administrative expenses increased
52% from $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $3.3 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1999. General and administrative expenses
as a percentage of revenue declined from 6% to 5%. The increase in absolute
dollars was primarily due to additional personnel costs and other expenses
associated with VERITAS enhancing its infrastructure to support expansion of its
operations. General and administrative expenses are expected to increase in
absolute dollars, but not to change significantly as a percentage of revenue in
the future, as VERITAS expands its operations.
Interest and Other Income, Net. Interest and other income, net increased
13% from $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $3.0 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase was due primarily to
increased amounts of interest income attributable to the higher level of funds
available for investment. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses which
are included in other income, net, have not had a material effect on VERITAS'
results of operations.
Interest Expense. Interest expense remained consistent at $1.4 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. Interest expense consists
primarily of interest accrued under the 5.25% convertible subordinated notes
issued by VERITAS in October 1997.
Income Taxes. VERITAS had effective tax rates of 36% for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 18% for the three months ended March 31, 1998. VERITAS'
1998 effective tax rate was lower than the combined federal and state statutory
rates primarily due to the utilization of federal net operating loss
carryforwards and other credit carryforwards, offset by the impact of state and
foreign taxes. VERITAS' effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31,
1999 was higher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31,
1998 primarily due to a lower benefit being derived from net operating loss
carryforwards in 1999 relative to a higher level of pre-tax income.
The realization of VERITAS' net deferred tax assets, which relate primarily
to net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences, is dependent on
generating sufficient taxable income in future periods. Although realization is
not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the net
deferred tax asset will be realized. The amount of the net deferred tax assets
considered realizable, however, could be reduced or increased in the near term
if estimates of future taxable income are
31
<PAGE> 33
changed. Management intends to evaluate the realizability of the net deferred
tax assets on a quarterly basis to assess the need for the valuation allowance.
New Accounting Pronouncements. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133).
SFAS No. 133 establishes methods of accounting for derivative financial
instruments and hedging activities related to those instruments as well as other
hedging activities. VERITAS will be required to implement SFAS No. 133 for its
fiscal year ending December 31, 2001. VERITAS' foreign currency exchange rate
hedging activities have been insignificant to date and VERITAS does not believe
that the impact of SFAS No. 133 will be material to its financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 requires
that entities capitalize certain costs related to internal-use software once
certain criteria have been met. VERITAS has adopted SOP 98-1 as of January 1,
1999. The impact of adopting SOP 98-1 was not material, nor is SOP 98-1 expected
to have a material impact on VERITAS' financial position, results of operations
and cash flows.
In December 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions." SOP 98-9
amends SOP 97-2 "Software Revenue Recognition" to require recognition of revenue
using the "residual method" when certain criteria are met. VERITAS will be
required to implement these provisions of SOP 98-9 for its fiscal year ending
December 31, 2000. Effective in December 1998, SOP 98-9 also amends SOP 98-4 (an
earlier amendment to SOP 97-2) to extend the deferral of the application of
certain passages of SOP 97-2 provided by SOP 98-4. VERITAS does not believe the
impact of SOP 98-9 will be material to VERITAS' financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.
FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997 AND 1998
Net Revenue
Total net revenue increased 74% to $210.9 million in 1998 from $121.1
million in 1997, when it increased 67% from $72.7 million in 1996. VERITAS
believes that the percentage increases in total revenue achieved in these
periods are not necessarily indicative of future results. VERITAS' revenue is
comprised of user license fees and service revenue. Growth in user license fees
has been driven primarily by increasing market acceptance of VERITAS' products,
introduction of new products and a larger percentage of total license revenue
generated through the direct sales channel. Service revenue is derived primarily
from contracts for software maintenance and technical support and, to a lesser
extent, consulting services, training services and porting fees. The growth in
service revenue has been driven primarily by increased sales of service and
support contracts on new license sales and, to a lesser extent, by increasing
renewals of these contracts by VERITAS' installed base of licensees. VERITAS
also experienced an increase in demand for consulting and training services.
Porting fees are derived from VERITAS' funded development efforts that are
typically associated with VERITAS' agreements with original equipment
manufacturers.
User License Fees. User license fees increased 75% to $167.7 million in
1998 from $95.7 million in 1997, when they increased 62% from $59.2 million in
1996. The increases in both 1998 and 1997 were primarily the result of continued
growth in market acceptance of VERITAS' software products, a greater volume of
large end-user transactions, increased revenue from original equipment
manufacturer resales of bundled and unbundled VERITAS products and the
introduction of new products. In particular, VERITAS' user license fees from
storage products increased by approximately 72% in 1998 from 1997, and accounted
for 88%, 89% and 79% of user license fees in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
User
32
<PAGE> 34
license fee growth in 1998 and 1997 also included increases in direct sales and
sales from distributors other than original equipment manufacturers.
Service Revenue. Service revenue increased 70% to $43.2 million in 1998,
from $25.4 million in 1997, when it increased 88% from $13.5 million in 1996.
The increases in both 1998 and 1997 were primarily due to increased sales of
service and support contracts on new licenses, renewal of service and support
contracts on existing licenses and, to a lesser extent in 1997, an increase in
demand for consulting and training services.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of user license fees consists primarily of royalties, media, manuals
and distribution costs. Cost of service revenue consists primarily of
personnel-related costs in providing maintenance, technical support, consulting
and training to customers, and development efforts in porting. Gross margin on
user license fees is substantially higher than gross margin on service revenue,
reflecting the low materials, packaging and other costs of software products
compared with the relatively high personnel costs associated with providing
maintenance, technical support, consulting, training services and development
efforts. Cost of service revenue also varies based upon the mix of maintenance,
technical support, consulting and training services.
Cost of User License Fees. Cost of user license fees increased 86% to $8.8
million in 1998 from $4.7 million in 1997, and increased 57% in 1997 from $3.0
million in 1996. The increases are primarily the result of a larger percentage
of license fees being generated from the sale of products with higher royalty
rates. Gross margin on user license fees remained constant at 95% in each of the
three years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996. The gross margin on user
license fees may vary from period to period based on the license revenue mix and
certain products having higher royalty rates than other products. VERITAS does
not expect improvements in gross margin on user license fees.
Cost of Service Revenue. Cost of service revenue increased 76% to $20.7
million in 1998 from $11.7 million in 1997, and increased 164% in 1997 from $4.4
million in 1996. Gross margin on service revenue was 52%, 54% and 67% in 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively. The decreases in gross margin were primarily due to
personnel additions in our customer support and training and consulting
organizations, in anticipation of increased demand for such services. In
addition, VERITAS devoted technical resources to fund porting activities in
excess of the amounts chargeable to customers.
Operating Expenses
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of
salaries, related benefits, commissions, consultant fees and other costs
associated with VERITAS' sales and marketing efforts. Selling and marketing
expenses increased 78% to $76.4 million in 1998 from $42.9 million in 1997, and
increased 65% in 1997 from $26.0 million in 1996. Selling and marketing expenses
as a percentage of total net revenue remained relatively consistent at 36%, 35%
and 36% in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in absolute dollars
is primarily attributable to increased sales and marketing staffing and, to a
lesser extent, increased costs associated with new marketing programs. VERITAS
intends to continue to expand its global sales and marketing infrastructure, and
accordingly, VERITAS expects its selling and marketing expenses to increase in
absolute dollars but not change significantly as a percentage of revenue in the
future.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist
primarily of salaries, related benefits, third-party consultant fees and other
engineering related costs. Research and development expenses increased 60% to
$40.2 million in 1998 from $25.2 million in 1997, and increased 36% in 1997 from
$18.5 million in 1996. The increase was due primarily to increased staffing
levels. As a percentage of total net revenue, research and development expenses
decreased to 19% in 1998 from 21% in 1997 and 25% in 1996. VERITAS believes that
a significant level of research and development
33
<PAGE> 35
investment is required to remain competitive, and expects such expenses will
continue to increase in absolute dollars in future periods, although such
expenses may continue to decline as a percentage of total net revenue to the
extent revenue increases. Research and development expenses can be expected to
fluctuate from time to time to the extent that VERITAS makes periodic
incremental investments in research and development and VERITAS' level of
revenue fluctuates.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries, related benefits and fees for professional services, such
as legal and accounting services. General and administrative expenses increased
31% to $10.5 million in 1998 from $8.0 million in 1997, and increased 19% in
1997 from $6.7 million in 1996. General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenue were 5%, 7% and 9% in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The increases in absolute dollars in 1998 and 1997 were primarily due to
additional personnel costs and other expenses associated with VERITAS enhancing
its infrastructure to support expansion of its operations. General and
administrative expenses are expected to increase in future periods in absolute
dollars to the extent VERITAS expands its operations.
Merger-Related Costs. As a result of the OpenVision merger, VERITAS
incurred charges to operations of $8.5 million in the second quarter of 1997,
consisting of approximately $4.2 million for transaction fees and professional
services, $1.9 million for contract terminations and asset write-offs and $2.4
million for other costs incident to the OpenVision merger. Of the total charge,
$1.2 million resulted from the write-down of redundant assets and facilities,
primarily consisting of intangible assets related to a prior acquisition which
were redundant as a result of OpenVision having a similar product line, and $7.3
million involved cash outflows for banking, legal and accounting fees and other
direct costs and payments in connection with the elimination of duplicative
facilities. The remaining unpaid amount of $0.2 million at December 31, 1998
related primarily to ongoing lease payments for vacated facilities through the
termination of the lease or the estimated date which such facilities will be
subleased.
In-Process Research and Development. On April 1, 1996, VERITAS acquired all
of the outstanding capital stock of ACSC for a total cost of approximately $3.5
million. Of the total cost, $2.2 million was allocated to in-process research
and development and expensed in the second quarter of 1996. Approximately $1.3
million was allocated to intangible assets that originally were amortized and
then fully written off in the second quarter of 1997 as part of the OpenVision
merger-related costs, since the ACSC product line became redundant upon the
OpenVision merger. On May 15, 1998, VERITAS acquired all of the outstanding
stock of Windward for a total cost of $2.5 million. The transaction was
accounted for using purchase accounting. Of the total cost, $0.6 million was
allocated to in-process research and development and $1.9 million was allocated
to acquired intangibles which is being amortized over a five year period. Total
cash outflows in 1998 related to this purchase were $1.3 million. VERITAS agreed
to pay the sole shareholder of Windward certain earn-out payments of up to an
aggregate of $1.2 million over the next two years subject to satisfaction of
certain conditions (which it was probable would be met) and the amount was
accrued at the acquisition date. VERITAS also agreed to pay that shareholder a
royalty on certain future product revenue derived from the products acquired
over a five year period, up to a maximum of $2.5 million. The Consolidated
Statements of Operations include the results of operations of Windward
subsequent to the acquisition date.
Interest and Other Income, Net. Interest and other income, net increased to
$11.8 million in 1998 from $4.9 million in 1997, and $2.8 million in 1996. The
increases were due primarily to increased amounts of interest income
attributable to the higher level of funds available for investment. Foreign
exchange transaction gains and losses which are included in other income, net,
have not had a significant effect on VERITAS' results of operations.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $5.7 million in 1998 from
$1.2 million in 1997, and $0.3 million in 1996. Interest expense in 1998 and
1997 consists primarily of interest accrued under the
34
<PAGE> 36
5.25% convertible subordinated notes issued by VERITAS in October 1997. Interest
expense in 1996 was insignificant.
Income Taxes. VERITAS had effective tax rates of 14%, 4% and 15% in 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively. VERITAS' effective tax rate is lower than the
combined federal and state statutory rates primarily due to the utilization of
federal net operating loss carryforwards and other credit carryforwards, offset
by the impact of state and foreign taxes.
VERITAS accounts for its income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes."
Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying
amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and the amounts used
for income taxes. The realization of VERITAS' net deferred tax assets, which
relate primarily to net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences,
is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in future periods. Although
realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that
the net deferred tax asset will be realized. The amount of the net deferred tax
assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced or increased in the near
term if estimates of future taxable income are changed. Management intends to
evaluate the realizability of the net deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis
to assess the need for the valuation allowance.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $211.1
million and $208.5 million at December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999, and
represented 60% and 56% of total assets, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents
are highly liquid with original maturities of ninety days or less. Short-term
investments consist mainly of investment grade commercial paper, market auction
preferreds and other medium-term notes. At December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999,
we had $100.8 million and $100.7 million of long-term obligations, and
stockholders' equity was approximately $169.9 million and $190.3 million,
respectively.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $62.8 million, $26.8 million
and $14.4 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $15.2 million in the
three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $15.3 million in the three months
ended March 31, 1998. Increases in 1998 and 1997 cash provided by operating
activities resulted primarily from net income and increases in accounts payable,
accrued liabilities and deferred revenue balances. These sources of cash were
offset somewhat by uses of cash in connection with an increase in balances of
accounts receivable and prepaid expenses, reflecting our overall growth. For the
three months ended March 31, 1999, cash provided by operating activities
resulted primarily from net income, an increase in deferred revenue, and a
reduction in accounts receivable offset somewhat by an increase in prepaid
expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, cash provided by operating
activities increased primarily as a result of higher net income, increases in
accrued liabilities and deferred revenue balances and reductions in prepaid
expenses and accounts receivable.
Our investing activities used cash of $49.8 million in the three months
ended March 31, 1999 primarily due to the net increase in short-term and
long-term investments of $41.1 million and capital expenditures of $8.6 million.
Our investing activities used cash of $28.0 million in the three months ended
March 31, 1998 due to the net increase in short-term investments of $23.3
million and capital expenditures of $4.7 million. Our investing activities used
cash of $13.4 million in 1998 primarily due to capital expenditures of $23.4
million. In addition, we used $1.3 million of cash for the purchase of Windward
in May 1998. Our investing activities used cash of $71.1 million in 1997
primarily for net purchases of short-term investments of $65.0 million, and
capital expenditures of $6.2 million. Our investing activities used cash of
$31.4 million in 1996 and consisted primarily of $22.7 million of net purchases
of short-term investments, $5.5 million used for capital expenditures and $3.5
million used for the purchase of ACSC.

Financing activities provided cash of $7.1 million in the three months
ended March 31, 1999, and $4.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998
from the issuance of common stock under our employee stock plans. Financing
activities provided cash of $14.0 million in 1998, also arising primarily from
the issuance of common stock under our employee stock plans. Financing
activities provided cash of $102.9 million in 1997, primarily from the net
proceeds of $97.5 million from the issuance of the 5.25% convertible
subordinated notes due 2004 and issuance of common stock of $5.8 million under
our employee stock plans, partially offset by the payment against the note
payable. In 1996, financing activities provided cash of $31.0 million that
reflects the net proceeds of $36.4 million from OpenVision's May 1996 initial
public stock offering and issuance of common stock of $2.7 million under our
employee stock plans, partially offset by the payments made against notes
payable.
In October 1997, we issued $100.0 million of 5.25% notes, for which we
received net proceeds of $97.5 million. The 5.25% notes provide for semi-annual
interest payments each May 1 and November 1, commencing on May 1, 1998. The
5.25% notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at any time prior to
the close of business on the maturity date, unless previously redeemed or
repurchased, at a conversion price of $21.50 per share, subject to adjustment in
certain events. On or after November 5, 2002, the 5.25% notes will be redeemable
over the period of time until maturity at our option at declining premiums to
par. The debt issuance costs are being amortized over the term of the 5.25%
notes using the interest method.
Following the consummation of the offering of the notes, we will have a
ratio of long-term debt to total capitalization at March 31, 1999 of
approximately 17% (19% if the over-allotment option is exercised in full). As a
result of this additional indebtedness, our principal and interest payment
obligations will increase substantially. The degree to which we will be
leveraged could materially and adversely affect our ability to obtain financing
for working capital, acquisitions or other purposes and could make us more
vulnerable to industry downturns and competitive pressures. We will require
substantial amounts of cash to fund scheduled payments of principal and interest
on our indebtedness, including the notes, future capital expenditures and any
increased working capital requirements. If we are unable to meet our cash
requirements out of cash flow from operations, we cannot assure you that we will
be able to obtain alternative financing.
During the first quarter of 1999, we signed a letter of intent to enter
into an agreement to lease real estate to be built by the lessor. In a separate
agreement, we were retained by the lessor as its agent for the construction of
the facility. The leases for land and improvements will be classified as
operating leases. The various agreements provide for minimum lease payments
which begin, generally, upon completion of construction, which is expected to be
June 2001, as well as certain residual value guarantees. Predevelopment costs
incurred by us were approximately $1.4 million through March 31, 1999, and were
subsequently reimbursed by the lessor.
We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investment balances and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our
expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the
next twelve months. However, we may require additional funds to support our
working capital requirements for other purposes and may seek to raise such
additional funds through public or private equity financing or from other
sources. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available at all
or that if available, we will be able to obtain it on terms favorable to us.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Background of Year 2000 Issues
We are aware of the issues associated with the programming code in existing
computer systems as the millennium approaches. Many currently installed computer
systems and software products are unable to distinguish between twentieth
century dates and twenty-first century dates because such systems were developed
using two digits rather than four to determine the applicable year. For example,
computer
36
<PAGE> 38
programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This error could result in system
failures, generation of erroneous data or miscalculations causing disruption of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal business activities. As
a result, many companies' software and computer systems may need to be upgraded
or replaced to comply with such Year 2000 requirements. The Year 2000 problem is
pervasive and complex. Significant uncertainty exists in the software industry
concerning the potential impact of Year 2000 problems. We are assessing the
potential overall impact of the impending century change on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
State of Readiness
Based on our assessment to date, we believe the current versions of our
software products and services are "Year 2000 ready" -- that is, they are
capable of adequately distinguishing twenty-first century dates from twentieth
century dates. New products are being designed and tested to be Year 2000 ready.
Although our products have undergone, or will undergo, our normal quality
testing procedures, there can, however, be no assurance that our products will
contain all necessary date code changes. Furthermore, use of our products in
connection with other products which are not Year 2000 ready, including
non-compliant hardware, software and firmware may result in the inaccurate
exchange of dates and result in performance problems or system failure. In
addition, original equipment manufacturer derivative versions of older VERITAS
products may not be Year 2000 ready. Any failure of our products to perform,
including system malfunctions associated with the onset of year 2000, could
result in claims against us. However, success of our Year 2000 compliance
efforts may depend on the success of our customers in dealing with the Year 2000
issue, as we have formally notified all customers of the extent of the Year 2000
readiness of our products.
Although we have not been a party to any litigation or arbitration
proceeding to date that involves Year 2000 compliance issues with our products
or services, there can be no assurance that we will not in the future be
required to defend our products or services in such proceedings, or to negotiate
resolutions of claims based on Year 2000 issues. The costs of defending and
resolving Year 2000 related disputes, regardless of the merits of such disputes,
and any liability we have for Year 2000 related damages, including consequential
damages, could harm our business.
In addition, we believe that purchasing patterns of customers and potential
customers may be affected by Year 2000 compliance issues as organizations expend
significant resources to correct their current software systems for Year 2000
compliance. These expenditures may result in reduced funding available to such
entities for other information technology purchases, such as those products and
services offered by us. Furthermore, customers and potential customers may defer
information technology purchases generally until early in the next millennium to
avoid Year 2000 compliance problems. Any such deferral of purchases by our
customers or potential customers could harm our business.
Our business depends on numerous systems that could potentially be impacted
by Year 2000 related problems. Those systems include, among others: hardware and
software systems used by us to deliver products and services to our customers
(including software supplied by third parties); communications networks such as
the wide area network and local area networks upon which we depend to
communicate product orders to our manufacturing and distribution operations and
to develop products; the internal systems of our customers and suppliers;
software products sold to customers; the hardware and software systems used
internally by us in the management of our business; and non-information
technology systems and services used by us in the management of our business,
such as power, telephone systems and building systems.
We are currently in the process of evaluating our information technology
infrastructure in order to identify and modify any products, services or
systems, including hardware, software and firmware, that
37
<PAGE> 39
are not Year 2000 ready. Based on our initial analysis of the systems
potentially impacted by conducting business in the twenty-first century, we are
applying a phased approach to making such systems, and accordingly, our
operations, ready for the year 2000. Beyond awareness of the issues and scope of
systems involved, the phases of activities in process include: an assessment of
specific underlying computer systems, programs and hardware; renovation or
replacement of Year 2000 non-compliant technology; validation and testing of
critical systems certified by third-party suppliers to be Year 2000 ready; and
implementation of Year 2000 ready systems. The table below describes the status
and timing of such phased activities.

</TABLE>
Extensive Year 2000 testing will be conducted on all systems considered
critical to us. To date, we have not encountered any material problems in this
regard with our computer systems or any other equipment that might be subject to
such problems. In the event that any of our significant suppliers or customers
does not successfully and timely achieve Year 2000 compliance, our business or
operations could be adversely affected. This could result in system failures or
generation of erroneous information and could cause significant disruption to
business activities. We are reviewing what further actions are required to make
all software systems used internally Year 2000 ready as well as actions needed
to mitigate vulnerability to problems with suppliers and other third parties'
systems.
Costs To Address Year 2000 Issues
The total cost of our Year 2000 compliance activities has not been, and is
not anticipated to be, material to our business, results of operations and
financial condition. We estimate specific Year 2000 expenses to date to be not
more than $0.5 million and do not expect total costs of the compliance
activities to exceed $1.0 million. These costs and the timing in which we plan
to complete our Year 2000 modification and testing processes are based on our
estimates. However, we cannot assure you that we will timely identify and remedy
all significant Year 2000 problems, that remediation efforts will not involve
significant time and expense, or that such problems will not harm our business.
Contingency Plans
We do not presently have a contingency plan for handling Year 2000 problems
that are not detected and corrected prior to their occurrence. If we fail to
address any unforeseen Year 2000 issue our business could be harmed. Full
contingency plans are scheduled for completion by September 1, 1999.

NSMG
OVERVIEW
The NSMG business, sometimes referred to in this prospectus as the Network
& Storage Management Group, develops and markets software products and provides
related services enabling information technology professionals to manage
distributed network resources and to secure and protect enterprise data. The
Network & Storage Management Group operates in a single industry segment. Its
products offer features such as system backup, disaster recovery, migration,
replication, automated client protection, storage resource management,
scheduling, event correlation and desktop management.
VERITAS acquired the Network & Storage Management Group on May 28, 1999.
Before then, the Network & Storage Management Group was an operating division of
Seagate Software, which is a majority-owned and consolidated subsidiary of
Seagate Technology. Seagate Technology is a data technology company that
provides products for storing, managing and accessing digital information on
computer systems. The Network & Storage Management Group was headquartered in
Scotts Valley, California and had 17 offices and operations in seven countries
worldwide. Neither Seagate Software nor Seagate Technology has updated the
following discussion from April 2, 1999 and has no obligation to do so in this
prospectus. In accordance with the rules of the SEC, VERITAS has not updated
this historical discussion.
The statements of operations discussed below include all revenues and costs
attributable to the Network & Storage Management Group, including allocations of
certain corporate administration, finance, and management costs. These costs
were proportionately allocated to the Network & Storage Management Group based
on time studies and detailed inquiries performed with Seagate Software's
corporate marketing and general and administrative departmental managers. In
addition, some of Seagate Software's operations were shared locations involving
activities of the Network & Storage Management Group and to other businesses of
Seagate Software. Costs incurred in shared locations are allocated among the
Seagate Software businesses based on identification of the costs as relating to
the specific businesses. Where specific identification is not possible, the
costs are allocated between the Network & Storage Management Group and other
businesses of Seagate Software using methodologies that management believes are
reasonable. Transactions and balances between entities and locations within the
Network & Storage Management Group itself have been eliminated.
From August 1994 to June 1996, Seagate Technology acquired seven software
companies that were engaged in developing and marketing network and/or storage
management software products. In addition, in February 1996, Seagate Technology
merged with Conner Peripherals, Inc. in a transaction accounted for as a pooling
of interests. In connection with the merger, Seagate Technology purchased the
outstanding minority interests in Conner's storage management software
operations under Arcada Software, Inc. for $85.1 million, which resulted in
allocations to goodwill and other intangibles of $47.4 million, a write-off of
in-process research and development of $43.9 million and a deferred tax
liability of $6.2 million. In June 1998, the Network & Storage Management Group
acquired Eastman Software Storage Management Group, Inc., a subsidiary of
Eastman Kodak Company, for $10.0 million in cash, which resulted in allocations
to goodwill and other intangibles of $3.2 million and a write-off of in-process
research and development of $6.8 million. The accompanying financial statements
present the combined results of operations of the acquired companies from the
dates of acquisition.
The Network & Storage Management Group operated and reported financial
results on a fiscal year of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to June
30. Accordingly, fiscal 1998 ended on July 3, 1998, fiscal 1997 ended on June
27, 1997 and fiscal 1996 ended on June 28, 1996. Fiscal 1998 was comprised of 53
weeks and fiscal years 1997 and 1996 were comprised of 52 weeks.
39
<PAGE> 41
Arcada, which was acquired by the Network & Storage Management Group
pursuant to Seagate Technology's merger with Conner, had a fiscal year that
ended on the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly, Arcada's statement of
operations for the year ended December 30, 1995 has been combined with the
Network & Storage Management Group's statement of operations for the year ended
June 30, 1995. In order to conform Arcada's fiscal year end to the Network &
Storage Management Group's fiscal year end, the Network & Storage Management
Group's combined statement of operations for the year ended June 28, 1996
includes six months, July 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995, for Arcada which
are also included in the Network & Storage Management Group's combined statement
of operations for the year ended June 30, 1995. Arcada's duplicated results for
the period from July 1, 1995 to December 30, 1995 includes revenues of $37.7
million, operating expenses of $29.3 million, and a net loss of $80,000.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
16, all identifiable assets, including identifiable intangible assets, were
assigned a portion of the cost of the acquired enterprise (purchase price) on
the basis of their respective fair values. This included the portion of the
purchase price properly attributed to incomplete research and development
projects that should be expensed according to the requirements of Interpretation
4 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 2.
Intangible assets were identified through:
- analysis of the acquisition agreement;
- consideration of the Network & Storage Management Group's intentions for
future use of the acquired assets; and
- analysis of data available concerning the business's products,
technologies, markets, historical financial performance, estimates of
future performance and the assumptions underlying those estimates.
The economic and competitive environment in which the Network & Storage
Management Group and the company to be acquired operate was also considered in
the valuation analysis.
Specifically, purchased research and development was identified and valued
through extensive interviews and discussions with the Network & Storage
Management Group and the company to be acquired's management and the analysis of
data provided by the company to be acquired concerning the company to be
acquired's developmental products, their respective stage of development, the
time and resources needed to complete them, their expected income generating
ability, target markets and associated risks. The Income Approach, which
includes an analysis of the markets, cash flows, and risks associated with
achieving such cash flows, was the primary technique utilized in valuing each
purchased research and development project. A portion of the purchase price was
allocated to the developmental projects based on the appraised fair values of
such projects.
ARCADA SOFTWARE, INC.
Overview
As of the acquisition date, Arcada had spent a significant amount of money
on research and development related to the re-development efforts to add
features and utilities to the Desktop, NetWare and Windows NT products such as
disk grooming, hierarchical storage management, upgraded graphical user
interfaces, file and server replication, and server mirroring in order to
continue to meet increasingly complex user needs.
40
<PAGE> 42
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86,
paragraph 38, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased,
or Otherwise Marketed," "the cost of software purchased to be integrated with
another product or process will be capitalized only if technological feasibility
was established for the software component and if all research and development
activities for the other components of the product or process were completed at
the time of the purchase." Although Seagate Software purchased existing products
from Arcada, since the majority of the original underlying code and base
technology for the NetWare and Windows NT product families was completed in the
1990 time frame, the technologies, as of the date of valuation, were undergoing
significant re-development.
Assumptions
Revenue. Future revenue estimates were generated for the following product
families:
- Desktop;
- NetWare; and
- Windows NT.
Aggregate revenue for Arcada products was estimated to be approximately $94
million for the ten and one-half months ending December 31, 1996. Revenues were
estimated to increase to approximately $161 million and $234 million for
calendar years 1997 and 1998 when most of the in-process projects were expected
to be complete and shipped. Thereafter, revenue was estimated to increase at
rates ranging from 35% to 40% for calendar years 1999 through 2002. Revenue
estimates were based on:
- aggregate revenue growth rates for the business as a whole;
- individual product revenues;
- growth rates for the storage management software market;
- the aggregate size of the storage management software market;
- anticipated product development and introduction schedules;
- product sales cycles; and
- the estimated life of a product's underlying technology.
The estimated product development cycle of the new products ranged from 12
to 18 months. Actual revenues for calendar years 1997 and 1998 were less than
those estimated.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses used in the valuation analysis of
Arcada included:
- cost of goods sold;
- general and administrative expense;
- selling and marketing expense; and
- research and development expense.
In developing future expense estimates, an evaluation of both Seagate
Software and Arcada's overall business model, specific product results,
including both historical and expected direct expense levels, as appropriate,
and an assessment of general industry metrics was conducted.
Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold, expressed as a percentage of
revenue, for the developed and in-process technologies ranged from approximately
5% to 30% for Desktop, 10% for NetWare and 5% for Windows NT. The Network &
Storage Management Group's cost of goods sold was 23% for fiscal 1996, 23% for
fiscal 1997 and 13% for fiscal 1998.
41
<PAGE> 43
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense,
expressed as a percentage of revenue, for the developed and in-process
technologies ranged from 12% in calendar 1996 to 8% in calendar 1998 and beyond.
Selling and marketing expense. Selling and marketing expense, expressed as
a percentage of revenue, for the developed and in-process technologies was
estimated to be 30% throughout the estimation period.
Research and development expense. Research and development expense consists
of the costs associated with activities undertaken to correct errors or keep
products updated with current information, also referred to as "maintenance"
research and development. Maintenance research and development includes all
activities undertaken after a product is available for general release to
customers to correct errors or keep the product updated with current
information. These activities include routine changes and additions. The
maintenance research and development expense was estimated to be 5% of revenue
for the developed technologies and 3% of revenue for the in-process technologies
throughout the estimation period.
In addition, as of the date of acquisition, the Network & Storage
Management Group management anticipated the costs to complete the Desktop,
NetWare, and Windows NT technologies at approximately $6.8 million, $4.5 million
and $7.5 million, respectively. Since the acquisition date, all projects
originally acquired from Arcada were commercially released prior to the end of
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.
Effective tax rate. The effective tax rate utilized in the analysis of
developed and in-process technologies was 38%, which reflects Seagate's combined
federal and state statutory income tax rates, exclusive of non-recurring charges
at the time of the acquisition and estimated for future years.
Discount rate. The discount rates selected for Arcada's developed and
in-process technologies were 15% and 17.5%, respectively. In the selection of
the appropriate discount rates, consideration was given to (1) the weighted
average cost of capital, approximately 13% to 15% at the date of acquisition of
its parent, Seagate Technology, Inc. and (2) the weighted average return on
assets, approximately 18%. The discount rate utilized for the in-process
technology was determined to be higher than Seagate Technology's weighted
average cost of capital due to the fact that the technology had not yet reached
technological feasibility as of the date of valuation. In utilizing a discount
rate greater than Seagate Technology's weighted average cost of capital,
management has reflected the risk premium associated with achieving the
forecasted cash flows associated with these projects.
EASTMAN SOFTWARE STORAGE MANAGEMENT GROUP
Overview
Eastman Software Storage Management Group's two primary products are
OPEN/stor for Windows NT and AvailHSM for NetWare. By integrating Eastman's
product line, the Network & Storage Management Group will be able to convert
their Storage Migrator product into a stand-alone hierarchical storage
management application for Windows NT environments. As of the date of
acquisition, the Network & Storage Management Group abandoned the AvailHSM
product and technology due to dated features and functionality; the valuation
analysis did not include a fair value for the AvailHSM product.
As for OPEN/stor at the date of acquisition, the Network & Storage
Management Group planned to phase out the product over the following 12 to 15
months. The Network & Storage Management Group's purpose for the acquisition was
for the next generation technologies that were underway at Eastman, referenced
by project names Sakkara and Phoenix. These projects were complete re-writes of
Eastman's prior generation technology that would allow the product to be sold
stand-alone upon completion.
42
<PAGE> 44
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86,
paragraph 38, "the cost of software purchased to be integrated with another
product or process will be capitalized only if technological feasibility was
established for the software component and if all research and development
activities for the other components of the product or process were completed at
the time of the purchase." Although the Network & Storage Management Group
purchased existing products from Eastman, the existing products did not operate
on a stand-alone basis. Therefore, as mentioned above, all of the original
underlying code and base technology for the next generation products were in the
process of being completely re-written as date of valuation.
Assumptions
Revenue. Future revenue estimates were generated for the following
technologies:
- OPEN/stor;
- Sakkara; and
- Phoenix.
Aggregate revenue for existing Eastman products was estimated to be
approximately $167,000 for the one month ending June 30, 1998. Revenues were
estimated to increase to approximately $3.9 million and $7.1 million for fiscal
years 1999 and 2000 when most of the in-process projects were expected to be
complete and shipping. Thereafter, revenue was estimated to increase at rates
ranging from 20% to 30% for fiscal years 2001 through 2006. Revenue estimates
were based on:
- aggregate revenue growth rates for the business as a whole;
- individual product revenues;
- growth rates for the storage management software market;
- the aggregate size of the storage management software market;
- anticipated product development and introduction schedules;
- product sales cycles; and
- the estimated life of a product's underlying technology.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses used in the valuation analysis of
Eastman included:
- cost of goods sold;
- general and administrative expenses;
- selling and marketing expense; and
- research and development expense.
In developing future expense estimates, an evaluation of both the Network &
Storage Management Group and Eastman's overall business model, specific product
results, including both historical and expected direct expense levels as
appropriate, and an assessment of general industry metrics was conducted.
Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold, expressed as a percentage of
revenue, for the developed and in-process technologies was estimated to be
approximately 5% throughout the estimation period. The Network & Storage
Management Group's cost of goods sold was 23% for fiscal 1996 and 1997.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense,
expressed as a percentage of revenue, for the developed and in-process
technologies was estimated to be approximately 10% throughout the estimation
period.
Selling and marketing expense. Selling and marketing expense, expressed as
a percentage of revenue, for the developed and in-process technologies was
estimated to be 27% throughout the estimation period.
43
<PAGE> 45
Research and development expense. Research and development expense consists
of the costs associated with activities undertaken to correct errors or keep
products updated with current information, also referred to as "maintenance"
research and development. Maintenance research and development includes all
activities undertaken after a product is available for general release to
customers to correct errors or keep the product updated with current
information. These activities include routine changes and additions. The
maintenance research and development expense was estimated to be 5% of revenue
for the developed and in-process technologies throughout the estimation period.
In addition, as of the date of acquisition, the Network & Storage
Management Group's management anticipated the costs to complete the in-process
technologies at approximately $1.8 million.
Effective tax rate. The effective tax rate utilized in the analysis of
developed and in-process technologies was 38%, which reflects the Network &
Storage Management Group's combined federal and state statutory income tax
rates, exclusive of non-recurring charges at the time of the acquisition and
estimated for future years.
Discount rate. The discount rates selected for Eastman's developed and
in-process technologies were 15% and 20%, respectively. In the selection of the
appropriate discount rates, consideration was given to (1) the weighted average
cost of capital, approximately 15% at the date of acquisition and (2) the
weighted average return on assets, approximately 18%. The discount rate utilized
for the in-process technology was determined to be higher than the Network &
Storage Management Group's weighted average cost of capital due to the fact that
the technology had not yet reached technological feasibility as of the date of
valuation. In utilizing a discount rate greater than the Network & Storage
Management Group's weighted average cost of capital, management has reflected
the risk premium associated with achieving the forecasted cash flows associated
with these projects.
CALYPSO SOFTWARE SYSTEMS, INC.
Calypso was a software developer in the enterprise network/system
management market. Calypso provided software which was designed to enable
companies to automate the management of their distributed applications. At the
date of acquisition, Calypso had two main products: Maestro Vision and Atrium
Extendible Management System for Spectrum. Both existing products, as of the
acquisition date, were planned to be phased out over the following 24 months.
Calypso, at the acquisition date, was in the process of developing the next
generation Atrium Extendible Management System product that was to be sold
stand-alone. Both Maestro and Atrium Extendible Management System for Spectrum
were originally designed for use only on certain system platforms, Cabletron and
Spectrum, respectively. However, Atrium Extendible Management System,
stand-alone, would allow systems managers on any system platform to distribute
software; monitor central processing units, memory, and operating system
administration; manage applications, file systems, and print services; and
perform UNIX and NT system administration.
As of the date of acquisition, Calypso had undergone or was in the process
of undergoing the re-write of code in C++, adding navigator capabilities,
developing web server and browser interoperability, developing CORBA
interoperability, and developing Network OLE/COM interoperability for Atrium
Extendible Management System, stand-alone. The estimated cost to complete, at
the date of acquisition, was approximately $750,000. These in-process research
and development projects were successfully completed prior to a restructuring of
operations in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. As a result of this
restructuring and a change in Seagate Software's strategic direction, in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 Seagate Software disposed of all the developed and
in-process technologies originally acquired from Calypso.

ONDEMAND SOFTWARE, INC.
OnDemand developed and marketed electronic software distribution products
for network management in the client/server environment. OnDemand's flagship
product was WinINSTALL. As of the date of acquisition, OnDemand was in the
process of developing the next generation of WinINSTALL Version 6.0. A
significant feature of Version 6.0 which is not available by any competitive
product, was a rollback with clone capability, which would allow the user to
selectively return a PC to a previous state upon installation failure or upon
user demand. In order for WinINSTALL Version 6.0 to become a commercially viable
product, OnDemand, as of the valuation date, had undergone or was in the process
of undergoing significant development efforts, including:
- developing rollback facilities, including clone capability;
- expanding global editor to be included in the WinINSTALL registry file;
- improving WinINSTALL Remote to ease package generation and distribution;
- adding a feature that would allow optional electronic mail notification
on installation failure and on installation refusals due to license
limitations; and
- expanding copy options and interactive install displays, adding
substitution variables and allowing version control of backup files.
As of the date of acquisition, Seagate Software management anticipated the
costs to complete WinINSTALL Version 6.0 at approximately $920,000. Since the
acquisition date, the acquired in-process research and development from OnDemand
has been completed and the related products were released during fiscal 1997.

RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Network & Storage Management Group had previously allocated a portion
of goodwill to developed technology and evaluated the impairment of goodwill
based on the revenues from the related software. Using this method, the Network
& Storage Management Group recorded write-downs and write-offs of goodwill in
fiscal 1997 in the amount of $10.3 million. The Network & Storage Management
Group has re-evaluated its methodology and determined that goodwill should not
be allocated to developed technology under Accounting Principles Board Opinion
17, "Intangible Assets." As a result, the Network & Storage Management Group
subsequently made adjustments to decrease the amounts of goodwill previously
written-down and written-off from $10.3 million to $6.2 million in fiscal 1997.
The
46
<PAGE> 48
additional goodwill of $4.1 million is being amortized over the remaining
estimated useful lives of approximately 5 years.
The effect of this adjustment on previously reported combined financial
statements as of and for the years ended July 3, 1998 and June 27, 1997 is as
follows (in thousands):

NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 3, 1998 VERSUS NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 2, 1999
Revenues
The Network & Storage Management Group's revenues are primarily derived
from the sale of product licenses, software maintenance, technical support,
training and consulting. The Network & Storage Management Group recognizes
license revenues in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition." Revenues
from software license agreements are recognized at the time of product delivery.
Service revenues from customer maintenance fees for ongoing customer support and
product updates are recognized ratably over the maintenance term, which is
typically 12 months. Service revenues from training and consulting are
recognized when such services are performed.
Total revenues increased 29% from $131.5 million in the nine months ended
April 3, 1998 to $170.2 million in the nine months ended April 2, 1999.
License revenues, excluding license revenues from Seagate Technology, grew
30% from $120.1 million in the nine months ended April 3, 1998 to $156.1 million
in the nine months ended April 2, 1999 due primarily to increased sales of
Seagate Backup Exec, the Network & Storage Management Group's leading storage
management product featuring backup and restore solutions for Microsoft's
Windows NT Server and Windows NT workstation operating systems.
47
<PAGE> 49
Indirect revenues, which include distribution and original equipment
manufacturer sales, increased 33% from $117.4 million in the nine months ended
April 3, 1998 to $ 155.8 million in the nine months ended April 3, 1999.
Direct revenues, which include corporate licensing and other direct sales
to users, increased 2% from $14.1 million in the nine months ended April 3, 1998
to $14.5 million in the nine months ended April 2, 1999.
Revenues increased 21% within the Americas from $88.2 million in the nine
months ended April 3, 1998 to $106.9 million in the nine months ended April 2,
1999. Revenues grew internationally 46% from $43.4 million in the nine months
ended April 3, 1998 to $63.3 million in the nine months ended April 2, 1999 due
in part to the Network & Storage Management Group's continued expansion of its
European distribution channel.
Revenues from Seagate Technology increased 23% from $4.2 million in the
nine months ended April 3, 1998 to $5.1 million in the nine months ended April
2, 1999 primarily due to increased sales of Backup Exec for Windows NT to
Seagate Technology's original equipment manufacturer tape drive operations.
Total maintenance, support and other revenues grew 23% from $7.3 million in
the nine months ended April 3, 1998 to $9.0 million in the nine months ended
April 2, 1999 primarily due to increases in the sales of maintenance agreements
and training and consulting services resulting from a larger installed customer
base.
Cost of revenues
The cost of revenues consists of amortization of acquired developed
technology, royalties, product packaging, documentation, duplication, production
and the cost of maintenance, technical support and consulting services. Acquired
developed technology is amortized based on the greater of the straight-line
method over its estimated useful life, 30 to 48 months or the ratio of current
revenues to the total of current and anticipated future revenues.
The total cost of revenues decreased 29% from $19.2 million in the nine
months ended April 3, 1998 to $13.5 million in the nine months ended April 2,
1999.
Cost of license revenues decreased from $11.0 million in the nine months
ended April 3, 1998 to $8.2 million in the nine months ended April 2, 1999 and
represented 9% and 5% of related license revenues, respectively.
The cost of license revenues from Seagate Technology decreased from
$402,000 in the nine months ended April 3, 1998 to $329,000 in the nine months
ended April 2, 1999 and represented 10% and 6% of related license revenues,
respectively. Both declines were due primarily to reductions in product
packaging and documentation costs resulting from a shift in mix to CD-ROMs from
disks and increased sales of higher-margin server products.
The cost of maintenance, support and other revenues increased from $1.4
million in the nine months ended April 3, 1998 to $2.6 million in the nine
months ended April 2, 1999 and represented 19% and 29% of related service
revenues, respectively. The increase was primarily due to expansion of the
Network & Storage Management Group's professional services workforce necessary
to support the growth in training and consulting revenues.
The amortization of developed technology decreased from $6.4 million in the
nine months ended April 3, 1998 to $2.4 million in the nine months ended April
2, 1999 representing 5% and 1% of total revenues, respectively. This decrease
was primarily due to decreases in amortization expense based on lower levels of
intangible assets because certain assets have become fully amortized.
48
<PAGE> 50
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related
expenses, advertising, sales and marketing promotions and customer technical
support costs. Sales and marketing expenses increased from $51.4 million in the
nine months ended April 3, 1998 to $63.6 million in the nine months ended April
2, 1999 and represented 39% and 37% of total revenues, respectively. The
increase in terms of absolute dollars was primarily due to increases in
advertising, promotion and technical support costs in Europe and other
international regions necessary to support the related revenue growth.
Research and development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related
expenses, depreciation of development equipment and facilities and occupancy
costs. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86,
software development costs are expensed as incurred until technological
feasibility has been established, at which time such costs are capitalized until
the product is available for general release to customers. The establishment of
technological feasibility of the Network & Storage Management Group's products
and general release of such software has substantially coincided. As a result,
software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been
insignificant.
Research and development expenses increased from $24.0 million in the nine
months ended April 3, 1998 to $26.7 million in the nine months ended April 2,
1999 and represented 18% and 16% of total revenues, respectively. The increase
was primarily due to increases in personnel and related expenses and the
acquisition of development activities associated with the purchase of Eastman
Software Storage Management Group, Inc.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related
expenses for finance, legal, information technology, human resources, general
management, fixed asset write-downs and outside services. General and
administrative expenses decreased from $17.1 million in the nine months ended
April 3, 1998 to $15.6 million in the nine months ended April 2, 1999 and
represented 13% and 9% of total revenues, respectively. The decrease was
primarily due to decreased information technology related expenses, partially
offset by increases in other general and administrative expenses necessary to
support the Network & Storage Management Group's growth.
Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired companies
over the estimated fair values of the tangible and intangible net assets
acquired. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods up to
seven years. Other intangible assets consist of acquired trademarks, assembled
workforces, distribution networks, developed technology, customer base, and
covenants not to compete. Amortization of other intangibles, other than acquired
developed technology, is provided based on the straight-line method over the
respective useful lives of the assets ranging from one to five years.
The amortization of goodwill and other intangibles decreased from $10.7
million in the nine months ended April 3, 1998 to $7.7 million in the nine
months ended April 2, 1999. This amortization represented 8% of total revenues
in the nine months ended April 3, 1998 and 5% of total revenues in the nine
months ended April 2, 1999. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in
amortization expense based on lower levels of intangible assets and write-downs
and write-offs of the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets of
approximately $1.9 million during the quarter ended January 2, 1998, based on
asset values for the assembled work forces and associated goodwill that had
become impaired.
49
<PAGE> 51
Interest and other, net
Total interest and other, net increased from a net expense of $744,000 in
the nine months ended April 3, 1998 to a net income of $1.4 million in the nine
months ended April 2, 1999. This total interest and other, net represented 1% of
total revenues in the nine months ended April 3, 1998 and 1% of total revenues
in the nine months ended April 2, 1999. The increase in interest income and
other, net was primarily due to lower interest expense on a lower level of
outstanding borrowings from Seagate Technology.
Income taxes
The Network & Storage Management Group expects its annual effective tax
rate on anticipated operating income for the 1999 fiscal year to approximate
43%. The projected effective tax rate exceeds the U.S. statutory rate primarily
due to the amortization of goodwill which is not deductible for tax purposes,
and foreign taxes on certain earnings generated in higher tax rate
jurisdictions. This expected annual effective tax rate of 43% has been used to
record the provision for income taxes for the nine month period ended April 2,
1999 compared with a 69% effective tax rate used to record the provision for
income taxes for the comparable year-ago period. The effective tax rate used to
record the provision for the income taxes for the nine month period ended April
3, 1998 was based on the expected annual effective tax rate applicable to
anticipated fiscal 1998 operating income as adjusted for amortization of
nondeductible goodwill.
Prior to its acquisition by VERITAS, the Network & Storage Management Group
was included in the consolidated federal and certain combined and consolidated
state and foreign income tax returns of Seagate Technology. Seagate Technology
and the Network & Storage Management Group were parties to a tax allocation
agreement. Under the tax allocation agreement, Network & Storage Management
Group's ability to recognize the tax benefits of certain net operating loss
carryforwards and foreign and domestic tax credits was impacted by Seagate
Technology's operating income during the periods that NSMG was included in
Seagate Technology's consolidated federal and other tax returns.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 27, 1997 VERSUS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JULY 3, 1998
Revenues
Total revenues increased 24% from $141.5 million in fiscal 1997 to $175.0
million in fiscal 1998.
License revenues, excluding license revenues from Seagate Technology, grew
23% from $130.7 million in fiscal 1997 to $160.2 million in fiscal 1998 due
primarily to increased sales of Seagate Backup Exec, the Network & Storage
Management Group's leading storage management product featuring backup and
restore solutions for Microsoft's Windows NT Server and Windows NT workstation
operating systems.
The Network & Storage Management Group continued to expand both its
indirect and direct sales channels. Indirect revenues, which include
distribution and original equipment manufacturer sales, increased 25% from
$124.8 million in fiscal 1997 to $156.3 million in fiscal 1998 while direct
revenues, which include corporate licensing and other direct sales to users,
increased 12% from $16.7 million in fiscal 1997 to $18.7 million in fiscal 1998.
Revenues increased within the Americas 13% from $102.2 million in fiscal
1997 to $115.3 million in fiscal 1998. Revenues grew internationally 52% from
$39.3 million in fiscal 1997 to $59.7 million in fiscal 1998 due in part to the
Network & Storage Management Group's continued expansion of its European
distribution channel.
50
<PAGE> 52
Revenues from Seagate Technology increased 3% from $4.9 million in fiscal
1997 to $5.0 million in fiscal 1998 primarily due to increased sales of Backup
Exec for Windows NT to Seagate Technology's original equipment manufacturer tape
drive operations.
Total maintenance, support and other revenues grew 66% from $5.9 million in
fiscal 1997 to $9.8 million in fiscal 1998 primarily due to increases in the
sales of maintenance agreements and training and consulting services resulting
from a larger installed customer base.
During fiscal 1998, the Network & Storage Management Group generated export
revenues from the United States of approximately $57.8 million. Expenses from
the Network & Storage Management Group's sales offices outside of the U.S. were
approximately $20.1 million as remeasured to the U.S. dollar from foreign
currencies. The principal currency for the sales offices is the British pound.
The Network & Storage Management Group believes that its exposure to foreign
currency fluctuations is not material and does not engage in foreign currency
hedging programs.
Cost of revenues
The total cost of revenues decreased from $32.1 million in fiscal 1997 to
$23.3 million in fiscal 1998.
The cost of license revenues increased from $11.8 million in fiscal 1997 to
$13.7 million in fiscal 1998 and remained consistent at 9% of related license
revenues during both fiscal years.
The cost of license revenues from Seagate Technology decreased from $1.8
million in fiscal 1997 to $411,000 in fiscal 1998 and represented 37% and 8% of
related license revenues, respectively. The decrease was due primarily to
reductions in product packaging and documentation costs resulting from a shift
in mix to CD-ROMs from disks and increased sales of higher-margin server
products.
The cost of maintenance, support and other revenues increased from $789,000
in fiscal 1997 to $2.1 million in fiscal 1998 and represented 13% and 21% of
related service revenues, respectively. This increase was primarily due to
expansion of the Network & Storage Management Group's professional services
workforce necessary to support the growth in training and consulting revenues.
The lower service revenue margins in 1998 were primarily due to increased
spending for additional personnel and new facilities to support higher levels of
customer support services, such as training, consulting and preferred technical
support.
The amortization of developed technology decreased from $17.7 million in
fiscal 1997 to $7.1 million in fiscal 1998 and represented 12% and 4% of total
revenues, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to higher write-downs in
fiscal 1997 of certain developed technologies amounting to approximately $6.9
million as a result of asset values that had become impaired based on reductions
in estimated future cash flows and decreases in amortization expense based on
lower levels of intangible assets.
In 1997 the unamortized software costs were reviewed under the guidance of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 for potential impairment. The
Network & Storage Management Group compared the net realizable value on a
product by product basis to the unamortized costs. Impairments were caused by a
number of factors including the Network & Storage Management Group's decision to
stop selling products or technologies such as DOS, new acquisitions, or new
product designs. Additionally in 1997, the Network & Storage Management Group
incurred a write-off to expected net realizable value related to the decision to
close down and sell one of its acquisitions, Calypso Software Systems, Inc. The
Network and Storage Management Group is not currently generating revenue from
any products for which the related developed technology has been impaired.
The write-downs of inventory to net realizable value in fiscal 1998 were
the result of new product introductions and, in the second quarter of fiscal
1998, the consolidation of the Network & Storage Management Group's fulfillment
warehouses to a single outsourcing partner. As a result of the change in
51
<PAGE> 53
strategy to move to a single outsourcing partner, the Network & Storage
Management Group was required contractually to purchase components from some of
its terminated vendors. This inventory was reviewed in conjunction the new
outsourcing partner and the components that were excess or obsolete were written
down.
The inventory write-down in fiscal 1997 related to Sytron products for
which the decision was made in 1997 to no longer market these products.
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing expenses increased slightly from $68.2 million in
fiscal 1997 to $68.3 million in fiscal 1998. These expenses represented 48% of
total revenues in fiscal 1997 and 39% of total revenues in fiscal 1998. The
slight increase was primarily due to increases in advertising, promotion and
technical support costs necessary to support revenue growth. These increases
were partially offset by reductions in workforce in fiscal 1997 due to facility
consolidations.
Research and development
Research and development expenses decreased from $33.6 million in fiscal
1997 to $31.7 million in fiscal 1998. These expenses represented 24% of total
revenues in fiscal 1997 and 18% of total revenues in fiscal 1998. The decrease
was primarily due to facility consolidations and reductions in workforce in
fiscal 1997.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses decreased from $26.0 million in fiscal
1997 to $22.3 million in fiscal 1998. These expenses represented 18% of total
revenues in fiscal 1997 and 13% of total revenues in fiscal 1998. The decrease
was primarily due to decreases in personnel-related expenses from facility
consolidations and reductions in workforce in fiscal 1997 and decreased legal
costs.
Write-off of in-process research and development
During fiscal 1998, $6.8 million of in-process research and development was
written off in connection with the purchase of Eastman Software Storage
Management Group, Inc.
Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles
The amortization of goodwill and other intangibles decreased from $20.3
million in fiscal 1997 to $13.2 million in fiscal 1998. This amortization
represented 14% of total revenues in fiscal 1997 and 8% of total revenues in
fiscal 1998. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in amortization expense
based on lower levels of intangible assets and write-downs and write-offs of the
carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $6.2
million in fiscal 1997 versus $1.9 million in fiscal 1998 as a result of asset
values that had become impaired.
Long-lived assets other than developed technology, including associated
goodwill, are assessed for impairment under the guidance of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 121 (SFAS 121), and any write-offs or
write-downs are included in amortization of goodwill and other intangibles.
Goodwill not under the scope of SFAS 121 is assessed for impairment under the
guidance of Accounting Principles Board No. 17, and any write-offs or
write-downs are also included in amortization of goodwill and other intangibles.
Developed technology is assessed for impairment under the guidance of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 86, and any related write-offs or
write-downs are included in costs of revenues. During fiscal 1997 and 1998, the
Network & Storage Management
52
<PAGE> 54
Group recorded impairment charges for write-offs and write-downs of acquired
intangible assets and goodwill, exclusive of amounts relating to developed
technology as follows:
In 1997, the Network & Storage Management Group determined that it would
abandon and discontinue selling substantially all of the current and future
products and technologies obtained in the 1994 acquisition of Palindrome
Corporation in favor of selling and supporting the current and future products
and technologies obtained in the 1996 acquisition of Arcada Holdings, Inc.
Additionally, in 1997, the Network & Storage Management Group decided to close
down and sell Calypso Software Systems, Inc. and to abandon and discontinue
sales of the developed and future DOS products and technologies acquired from
Frye Computer Systems, Inc. In connection with these determinations, the Network
& Storage Management Group recorded impairment charges to write-off and
write-down goodwill amounting to approximately $6.2 million.
In 1998, the Network & Storage Management Group assessed the recoverability
of long-lived assets and as a result wrote-off assembled workforce and related
goodwill amounting to $1.9 million for Network Computing, Inc., Netlabs, Inc.
and Creative Interaction Technologies, Inc.
Restructuring
Restructuring charges were $2.5 million in fiscal 1997 and none in fiscal
1998. See management's discussion and analysis of restructuring costs for the
fiscal year ended June 28, 1996 versus fiscal year ended June 27, 1997.
Interest and other, net
Total interest and other, net decreased from a net expense of $2.6 million
in fiscal 1997 to a net expense of $713,000 in fiscal 1998, representing 2% and
1% of total revenues, respectively. The decrease in interest and other, net was
primarily due to lower interest expense on a lower level of average outstanding
borrowings from Seagate Technology.
Income taxes
The Network & Storage Management Group recorded a $10.6 million benefit
from income taxes at an effective rate of 24% for fiscal 1997 compared with a
$5.9 million provision for income taxes at an effective rate of 67% in fiscal
1998. The effective rate used to record the provision for income taxes in fiscal
1998 was greater than the statutory rate primarily due to foreign taxes in
excess of the U.S. statutory tax rate, state income taxes, and goodwill
amortization for certain acquisitions that was not deductible for tax purposes.
The effective rate used to record the benefit from income taxes in fiscal 1997
was less than the statutory rate primarily due to increases in the valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets and goodwill amortization for certain
acquisitions that were not deductible for tax purposes.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 28, 1996 VERSUS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 27, 1997
Revenues
Total revenues increased 21% from $116.7 million in fiscal 1996 to $141.5
million in fiscal 1997.
License revenues, excluding license revenues from Seagate Technology,
increased 28% from $102.3 million in fiscal 1996 to $130.7 million in fiscal
1997. The increase in licensing revenues was due in part to growth in the market
for storage management software products and related services, expansion of the
Network & Storage Management Group's European distribution channels and
increased sales of Seagate Backup Exec for Windows NT.
53
<PAGE> 55
Total maintenance, support and other revenues increased from $4.5 million
in fiscal 1996 to $5.9 million in fiscal 1997. The increase in maintenance,
support and other revenues was due in part to higher training and consulting
revenues resulting from a larger customer base.
Additionally, the fiscal 1997 results included a full year of operations
for the fiscal 1996 acquisition of OnDemand Software, Inc., which resulted in
increases in licensing revenues of approximately $6.8 million in fiscal 1997 as
compared with fiscal 1996.
During fiscal 1997, the Network & Storage Management Group generated export
revenues from the United States of approximately $40.7 million. Expenses from
the Network & Storage Management Group's sales offices outside of the U.S. were
approximately $15.7 million as remeasured in the U.S. dollar from foreign
currencies, principally the British pound. The Network & Storage Management
Group believes that its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not
material and does not engage in foreign currency hedging programs.
Cost of revenues
The total cost of revenues increased from $27.3 million in fiscal 1996 to
$32.1 million in fiscal 1997 and represented 23% of total revenues in fiscal
1996 and 22% of total revenues in fiscal 1997. The majority of the increase in
absolute dollars was due to an increase in the amortization of acquired
developed technology due to a higher level of intangible assets. Additionally,
in fiscal 1997 the Network & Storage Management Group wrote-off and wrote-down
certain developed technologies amounting to approximately $6.9 million as a
result of asset values that had become impaired based on the Network & Storage
Management Group's phasing out of certain products.
In 1997 the unamortized software costs were reviewed under the guidance of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 for potential impairment. The
Network & Storage Management Group business compared the net realizable value on
a product by product basis to the unamortized costs including goodwill.
Impairments were caused by a number of factors including the Network & Storage
Management Group's decision to stop selling products or technologies such as
DOS, new acquisitions, or new product designs. Additionally in 1997, the Network
& Storage Management Group incurred a write-off related to the decision to close
down and sell one of its acquisitions, Calypso Software Systems, Inc. The
write-off was to the expected net realizable value. The Network and Storage
Management Group is not currently generating revenue from any products for which
the related developed technology has been impaired.
The inventory write-down in fiscal 1997 related to Sytron products for
which the decision was made in 1997 to no longer market these products.
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing costs increased from $55.9 million in fiscal 1996 to
$68.2 million in fiscal 1997 and represented 48% of total revenues in both
periods. The increase in absolute dollars was due to increased personnel,
advertising and promotion costs necessary to support revenue growth and the
expansion of the Network & Storage Management Group's European distribution
channel. Additionally, the fiscal 1997 results included a full year of
operations for the Network & Storage Management Group's fiscal 1996 acquisitions
compared with a partial year of operations in fiscal 1996.
Research and development
Research and development expenses increased from $32.5 million in fiscal
1996 to $33.6 million in fiscal 1997. These expenses represented 28% of total
revenues in fiscal 1996 and 24% total revenues in fiscal 1997. The increase in
absolute dollars was primarily due to increases in new product development and
localization costs, partially offset by facility consolidations and reductions
in workforce. Additionally,
54
<PAGE> 56
the fiscal 1997 results included a full year of operations for the Network &
Storage Management Group's fiscal 1996 acquisitions compared with a partial year
of operations in fiscal 1996.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses increased from $20.0 million in fiscal
1996 to $26.0 million in fiscal 1997. These expenses represented 17% of total
revenues in fiscal 1996 and 18% of total revenues in fiscal 1997. The increase
in absolute dollars was primarily due to increases in corporate administrative
expenses, information systems and legal costs necessary to support the Network &
Storage Management Group's growth. Additionally, the fiscal 1997 results
included a full year of operations for the Network & Storage Management Group's
fiscal 1996 acquisitions compared with a partial year of operations in fiscal
1996.
Write-off of in-process research and development
During fiscal 1996, total write-offs of in-process research and development
were $61.1 million as a result of the Network & Storage Management Group's
fiscal 1996 acquisitions.
Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles
Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles increased from $13.0 million
in fiscal 1996 to $20.3 million in fiscal 1997. This amortization represented
11% of total revenues in fiscal 1996 and 14% of total revenues in fiscal 1997.
The increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to increased amortization
expense on a higher level of intangible assets and write-downs and write-offs of
the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $6.2
million as a result of asset values that had become impaired.
Long-lived assets other than developed technology, including associated
goodwill, are assessed for impairment under the guidance of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 121 (SFAS 121), and any write-offs or
write-downs are included in amortization of goodwill and other intangibles.
Goodwill not within the scope of SFAS 121 is assessed for impairment under the
guidance of Accounting Principals Board No. 17, and any write-downs or
write-offs are also included in amortization of goodwill and other intangibles.
Developed technology is assessed for impairment under the guidance of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 86, and any related write-offs or
write-downs are included in costs of revenues. During 1997 and 1996, the Network
& Storage Management Group recorded impairment charges for write-offs and
write-downs of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, exclusive of amounts
relating to developed technology as follows:
In 1996, Mr. Frye, the former owner of Frye Computer Systems, Inc., a 1995
acquisition, left the Network & Storage Management Group. With his departure,
the Network & Storage Management Group decided to release Mr. Frye from his
remaining non-compete period and to not use the Frye name trademark in future
periods. As a result, the remaining carrying value of the intangible assets
relating to the covenant not to compete and the trademark, and associated
goodwill, totaling $2.2 million were written-off in their entirety.
In 1997, the Network & Storage Management Group determined that it would
abandon and discontinue selling substantially all of the current and future
products and technologies obtained from the 1994 acquisition of Palindrome
Corporation in favor of selling and supporting the current and future products
and technologies obtained from the 1996 acquisition of Arcada Holdings, Inc.
Additionally, in 1997, the Network & Storage Management Group decided to close
down and sell Calypso Software Systems, Inc. and to abandon and discontinue
sales of the developed and future products and technologies acquired from Frye
Computer Systems, Inc. In connection with these determinations, the Network &
Storage Management Group recorded write-offs and write-downs of goodwill
amounting to approximately $6.2 million.

Restructuring
Fiscal 1996 charges. Restructuring charges were $9.5 million in fiscal 1996
and $2.5 million in fiscal 1997. The 1996 restructuring charges pertain to the
acquisition of Arcada Holdings, Inc. in February 1996. As a result of the
acquisition, the Network & Storage Management Group business had obtained
duplicate technologies and product lines in data protection and storage
management software as those assets acquired in the Palindrome Corporation
acquisition in fiscal 1995. The Network & Storage Management Group determined
that it would be beneficial to consolidate the world-wide sales, marketing,
research and development, technical support and other operations and
administrative functions of its network and storage management business. A
restructuring plan was approved by the Seagate Software board of directors in
March 1996 and the plan resulted in facility closures and staff reductions of 43
at the Arcada facilities in Westboro, Massachusetts, the United Kingdom and
France, as well as staff reductions of 69 at the former Palindrome facility in
Naperville, Illinois. In addition, because Arcada had a better industry
reputation and superior products to those of Palindrome, the Network & Storage
Management Group's plan and strategy going forward was to focus on the
technologies and products acquired from Arcada. The revenue relating to products
acquired from Palindrome for fiscal 1996 was $15.9 million and the net operating
loss relating to products acquired from Palindrome for fiscal 1996 was $2.1
million. For fiscal 1997, the revenue relating to products acquired from
Palindrome was $3.3 million and the net operating loss relating to products
acquired from Palindrome for fiscal 1997 was $3.7 million.
The non-cash restructuring charges included amounts for abandonment of the
Palindrome trademarks, impairment of the capitalized workforce intangible assets
pertaining to the acquisition of Palindrome because of the planned layoff of
personnel, write-off of a duplicate trade show booth, and write-off of obsolete
Palindrome marketing materials. Cash restructuring charges included amounts for
severance and benefits to terminated Palindrome employees, costs for facilities
lease termination, other contract cancellation fees, and merger related costs
incurred by Arcada in the acquisition of the Arcada minority pooling of
interests by Seagate Technology.
Fiscal 1997 charges. The fiscal 1997 restructuring charges netted to $2.5
million, comprised of a $3.4 million restructuring charge that included the
closure of the Network & Storage Management Group's facility located in
Cupertino, California. This facility closure resulted in cash charges for
severance and benefits for 69 employee terminations and non-cash charges for
excess facilities and the write-down of equipment. In addition, the $3.4 million
included amounts related to the decision, after concluding a sale was no longer
viable, to no longer pursue the technologies acquired in the fiscal 1996
acquisition of Calypso Software Systems, Inc. and to shut down its operations.
This decision resulted in cash charges for severance and benefits for 35
employee terminations and non-cash charges for the write off of certain
remaining intangible assets of Calypso. The revenue and net operating loss
relating to products acquired from Calypso for fiscal 1996 was $444,000 and
$53,000, respectively. For fiscal 1997, the revenue and net operating loss
relating to products acquired from Calypso was $640,000 and $47,000,
respectively.
The restructuring charges recorded in fiscal 1997 were reduced by $957,000
for the reversal of amounts pertaining to the fiscal 1996 restructuring charges
as a result of a higher than planned number of voluntary employee terminations
without severance benefits prior to the facility shutdown and completion of
other aspects of the restructuring plan at less than the originally estimated
cost, net of an increase in the accrual for facilities lease payments due to
changes in estimates of the costs to terminate leases after facilities closure.

</TABLE>
The Network & Storage Management Group's remaining restructuring reserves
at April 2, 1999 pertain to continuing lease payments on facilities that were
closed and abandoned as a result of the Palindrome restructuring. The Network &
Storage Management Group has been unable to sublease these facilities and
anticipates that the remaining restructuring reserves will be utilized over the
period through lease termination in fiscal 2002.
The fiscal 1996 restructuring reserve of $9,502,000 was for the following
specific items:
Severance and employee benefits ($1,554,000) -- Severance and employee
benefits included amounts for consolidation of operations and termination of
employees at the Arcada facilities in Westboro, Massachusetts, the United
Kingdom and France, as well as at the former Palindrome facility in Naperville,
Illinois.
Excess facilities ($1,571,000) -- This accrual was designed to provide for
rent termination costs and rent expense for facilities located in Naperville,
Westboro, the United Kingdom and France that are to be closed as a result of the
restructuring actions.
Equipment ($1,018,000) -- This amount is a reserve for equipment at the
Naperville, Westboro, the United Kingdom and France facilities. It consists of
computer equipment, furniture and fixtures and software at these facilities that
will not be used after the locations are closed. All of the equipment provided
for in this reserve has been abandoned.
Inventory ($300,000) -- This consists of obsolete packaging material that
will no longer be used and original equipment manufacturer inventory of $80,000
that will no longer be sold.
Intangibles ($4,312,000) -- This writedown consists of Palindrome
intangible assets of $3,534,000, $390,000 of developed technology related to
Atlas and $388,000 of goodwill related to the Sytron acquisition. The Palindrome
intangible assets were further broken down into trademark of $1,000,000,
workforce of $1,188,000, distribution network of $69,000 and goodwill of
$1,277,000. The Network & Storage Management Group decided to pursue the Arcada
brand name and trademark and abandon the
57
<PAGE> 59
Palindrome trademark. As a result, Network & Storage Management Group business
determined that it would lay off substantially all of the 121 employees of
Palindrome located at the Naperville facility. At the time of original purchase,
Network & Storage Management Group business proportionally allocated goodwill to
long-lived intangible assets based upon the original purchase price. The amounts
of goodwill included in the restructuring reserve relate to the remaining
unamortized goodwill associated with the intangible assets written off.
Contract cancellation ($67,000) -- This $67,000 item is a canceled contract
for outsourced Technical Support with a vendor used by Palindrome.
Legal/Accounting fees ($525,000) -- This $525,000 represents an estimate of
the legal and accounting fees that were to be incurred by Arcada from the
acquisition of Arcada stock by Seagate Technology.
Other ($155,000) -- This represents a trade show booth valued at $100,000
that is redundant and $55,000 for obsolete marketing materials.
The above assets were not impaired in a prior period because their
impairment arose specifically from the restructuring actions taken as a result
of the acquisition of the minority interest in Arcada in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996. Prior to the acquisition, Palindrome products were marketed and
sold as part of the Seagate Software portfolio.
In fiscal 1997, Seagate Software recorded an additional restructuring
reserve of $3.5 million that resulted primarily from the plan to shutdown
Manchester operations and the decision to try to sell the Calypso technology and
a separate decision to consolidate the Network & Storage Management Group
operations which resulted in the shutdown of the NSMG's facility in Cupertino,
California which are as follows.
Severance and employee benefits ($770,000) -- Severance and employee
benefits included amounts for the shutdown and termination of employees at the
Cupertino, California facility due to a consolidation of operations and the
shutdown and termination of employees at the Calypso facility in Manchester, New
Hampshire due to a decision to no longer pursue the Calypso products and
technologies.
Excess facilities ($505,000) -- This accrual was designed to provide for
rent termination costs and rent expense for facilities closures in Manchester,
New Hampshire and Cupertino, California.
Equipment ($728,000) -- This reserve is for equipment in the Manchester and
Cupertino facilities that would not be used after the shutdowns. It consisted of
largely of computer equipment but also included amounts for furniture and
fixtures and software. All of the equipment provided for in this reserve has
been abandoned.
Intangibles ($1,378,000) -- This asset consisted of Calypso related
intangibles first capitalized upon the acquisition of Calypso in fiscal 1996.
The amounts written down included net developed technology of $1,086,000 and
assembled workforce of $292,000. These assets were written off based on
management's plan to sell Calypso and its products and technologies.
Other ($100,000) -- This represents miscellaneous additional costs related
to the Manchester Calypso shutdown.
The above assets were not impaired in a period prior to recording the
restructuring reserves because their impairment arose specifically from the
business decision and plan in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 to close the
Manchester Calypso facility and abandon that technology and the additional
decision to consolidate operations of the company and close the Cupertino
facility.

Interest and other, net
Total interest and other, net increased from a net expense of $705,000 in
fiscal 1996 to a net expense of $2.6 million in fiscal 1997 and represented 1%
and 2% of total revenues, respectively. The increase in interest and other, net
was primarily due to higher interest expense on a higher level of outstanding
borrowings from Seagate Technology.
Income taxes
The Network & Storage Management Group recorded a $8.8 million benefit from
income taxes at an effective rate of 8% for fiscal 1996 compared with a $10.6
million benefit from income taxes at an effective rate of 24% in fiscal 1997.
The effective rate used to record the benefit from income taxes in each fiscal
year was less than the statutory rate primarily from increases in the valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets, goodwill amortization, and charges in fiscal
1996 for in-process research and development for certain acquisitions that were
not deductible for tax purposes.
BALANCE SHEET DISCUSSION
The Network & Storage Management Group's total cash was $4.9 million as of
July 3, 1998 and $2.0 million as of April 2, 1999. The decrease in cash was
primarily due to the Network & Storage Management Group's participation in the
consolidated cash management program of Seagate Technology and the differences
reflect the timing of the transfer of cash to the parent company. The accounts
receivable balance was $16.0 million on July 3, 1998 and $23.1 million as of
April 2, 1999. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to
increased sales and an increase in days sales outstanding. The loan receivable
from Seagate Technology and affiliates was $0 as of July 3, 1998 and $42.1
million as of April 2, 1999. The increase in the loan receivable is due to the
Network & Storage Management Group's participation in the consolidated cash
management program of Seagate Technology and the difference in the loan balance
reflects the timing of the transfer of cash to the parent company. The other
current assets balance was $480,000 as of July 3, 1998 and $3.3 million as of
April 2, 1999. This increase was primarily due to prepaid costs associated with
the NSMG combination with VERITAS. The goodwill and other intangibles balance
for the Network & Storage Management Group was $41.3 million as of July 3, 1998
and $31.6 million as of April 2, 1999. The decrease was due to ongoing goodwill
and intangible amortization.
The Network & Storage Management Group's loan payable to Seagate Technology
and affiliates was $10.6 million as of July 3, 1998 and $0 as of April 2, 1999.
The decrease in the loan payable was due primarily to the Network & Storage
Management Group's participation in the consolidated cash management program of
Seagate Technology and the differences in the loan payable reflects the timing
of the transfer of cash to the parent company. Accrued employee compensation was
$8.0 million as of July 3, 1998 and $10.1 million as of April 2, 1999. The
increase is primarily due to increases in payroll costs associated with
increased headcount. Headcount increased from 959 employees as of July 3, 1998
to 1,060 employees as of April 2, 1999. Accrued expenses were $7.1 million as of
July 3, 1998 and $9.5 million as of April 2, 1999. The increase is primarily due
to accruals for expenses incurred as a result of the NSMG combination with
VERITAS. Accrued income taxes were $1.3 million as of July 3, 1998 and $18.8
million as of April 2, 1999, respectively. The increase was primarily due to
accrued income taxes on increased domestic and foreign earnings and the timing
of the settlement of the intercompany tax liability with Seagate Technology, the
parent company.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Network & Storage Management Group's total cash was $4.9 million and
$2.0 million as of July 3, 1998 and April 2, 1999, respectively. The decrease in
cash was primarily due to loan repayments to Seagate Technology of $161.5
million offset by additional borrowings from Seagate Technology of
59
<PAGE> 61
$108.8 million and purchases of equipment, leasehold improvements and intangible
assets, partially offset by cash provided by operating activities. The Network &
Storage Management Group's cash is maintained in highly liquid operating
accounts and primarily consists of bank deposits.
The Network & Storage Management Group's operations were financed by cash
flows from operating activities and borrowings from Seagate Technology. Prior to
the NSMG combination, such borrowings were available to Seagate Software under a
revolving loan agreement between Seagate Software and Seagate Technology. Under
the loan agreement, the Network & Storage Management Group was in a net
receivable position of $42.1 million as of April 2, 1999.
During the nine months ended April 2, 1999, the Network & Storage
Management Group made investments totaling approximately $7.7 million for new
office facilities, leasehold improvements, computers, furniture and office
equipment.
YEAR 2000 READINESS
This section on the Year 2000 issue is as of April 2, 1999. It has not been
updated by Seagate Software, Seagate Technology or VERITAS.
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer programs
that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculation causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things,
a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in
normal business activities.
The Network & Storage Management Group considers a product to be Year 2000
ready if the product's performance and functionality are unaffected by
processing of dates prior to, during and after the year 2000, but only if all
products, for example hardware, firmware, and software used with the products
properly exchange accurate date data with it.
The Network & Storage Management Group's products
The Network & Storage Management Group's products are used in numerous
operating environments. The Network & Storage Management Group has assessed its
products to determine whether or not they are Year 2000 ready. Although the
Network & Storage Management Group believes certain of its software products are
Year 2000 ready, it has determined that certain of its software products are not
and will not be Year 2000 ready. Products that are not Year 2000 ready are not
material to the Network & Storage Management Group's business, financial
condition or results of operations. The inability of one or more of its products
to properly manage and manipulate dates related to the year 2000 could result in
a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of
operations, including increased warranty costs, customer satisfaction issues and
potential lawsuits. The Network & Storage Management Group is taking measures to
inform customers that those products are not and will not be Year 2000 ready. To
assist customers in evaluating their Year 2000 issues, the Network & Storage
Management Group has developed a list of those products that are Year 2000 ready
as stand-alone products.
The Network & Storage Management Group anticipates that substantial
litigation may be brought against vendors, including the Network & Storage
Management Group, of all software components of systems in which another
vendor's component products are unable to properly manage data related to the
Year 2000. The Network & Storage Management Group's customer agreements
typically contain provisions designed to limit the Network & Storage Management
Group's liability for such claims. As a result of existing or future federal,
state or local laws or ordinances or unfavorable judicial decisions, it is
possible that these measures will not provide the Network & Storage Management
Group with protection from liability claims. If any such claims are brought
against the Network & Storage Management Group,
60
<PAGE> 62
regardless of their merit, the Network & Storage Management Group's business,
financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely
affected from factors that include increased warranty costs, customer
satisfaction issues and the costs of potential lawsuits.
The Network & Storage Management Group's systems
The Network & Storage Management Group has also initiated a comprehensive
program to address Year 2000 readiness in its internal systems and in those of
its customers and suppliers. The Network & Storage Management Group's program
has been designed to address its most critical internal systems first and to
gather information regarding the Year 2000 compliance of products supplied to
the Network & Storage Management Group and into which its products are
integrated. The scope of the Network & Storage Management Group's internal Year
2000 readiness project includes information technology, non-information
technology and embedded technology for all critical systems, and includes all
offices worldwide, critical vendors, suppliers, customers and partners. The
Network & Storage Management Group currently expects to be Year 2000 ready
before December 31, 1999.
The Network & Storage Management Group is approaching Year 2000 readiness
in five stages: inventory, assessment, testing, remediation and contingency
planning. Anticipated dates of completion are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
ANTICIPATED DATE
OF COMPLETION
AS OF APRIL 2, 1999
-------------------
<S> <C>
1. Inventory Complete
2. Assessment Complete
3. Testing Complete
4. Remediation September 30, 1999
5. Contingency Planning September 30, 1999
</TABLE>
These activities are intended to encompass all major categories of systems
in use by the Network & Storage Management Group, including operations,
technical support, engineering, sales, finance and human resources. To date, the
Network & Storage Management Group has not incurred material costs related to
assessment and remediation of Year 2000 readiness. The Network & Storage
Management Group is still in the process of conducting its Year 2000 audit. The
Network & Storage Management Group currently estimates the costs of internal
Year 2000 issues will be less than $3.0 million. However, if the costs of the
future remediation exceed such amount, then the costs required to address the
Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse effect on the Network & Storage
Management Group's business, financial condition or results of operations.
The Network & Storage Management Group's material third party relationships
include relationships with fulfillment houses, banks, payroll services vendors,
utilities, distribution partners and key customers. These relationships have
been examined, and the Network & Storage Management Group is now assessing the
risks relating to these relationships. The Network & Storage Management Group
believes that certain of these relationships are of significant importance to
its future operations. The Network & Storage Management Group has contacted its
significant suppliers and has received assurances of Year 2000 compliance from a
number of those contacted. However, most of the Network & Storage Management
Group's suppliers are under no contractual obligation to provide such
information to the Network & Storage Management Group. The Network & Storage
Management Group does not currently have reason to believe that any such third
parties have significant internal Year 2000 problems that will not remediated.
However, in the event any such third parties were to have an unremediated Year
2000 problem, it could have a material adverse effect on The Network & Storage
Management Group's business, financial condition or results of operations.

Customer Purchasing Patterns
The Network & Storage Management Group believes that the purchasing
patterns of customers and potential customers may be affected by Year 2000
issues as companies expend significant resources to correct or patch their
current software systems for Year 2000 readiness or defer purchases of new
systems to avoid encountering additional unforeseen Year 2000 problems.
Additional short-term expenditures for remediation of existing Year 2000
problems may result in reduced funds being available to purchase products such
as those offered by the Network & Storage Management Group, which could have a
material adverse effect on the Network & Storage Management Group's business,
operating results or financial condition.
The Network & Storage Management Group believes that a most likely worst
case Year 2000 scenario would result in significant disruptions of its business,
including the possible loss of power and disruption of transportation system.
The Network & Storage Management Group believes that no effective contingency
planning for such disruption is possible. The Network & Storage Management Group
also believes that additional elements of the most likely worst case Year 2000
scenario include the loss of fulfillment services, banking services, and/or
distribution services. Although discussions of contingency planning for these
problems has begun, no contingency plan is yet in place. The Network & Storage
Management Group currently expects to complete contingency planning by September
30, 1999. The Network & Storage Management Group could experience material
adverse effects on its business if it fails to successfully implement a
contingency plan. Those material adverse effects could include delays in the
delivery or sale of products.

OLD VERITAS QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE SENSITIVITY
We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. We
engage in exchange rate hedging from time to time but such activity has been
insignificant to date and we do not hold or issue foreign exchange contracts for
trading purposes. Our international sales are generated primarily through our
international sales subsidiaries. Most international revenue outside the United
States and Canada is collectible in foreign currencies. Since much of our
international operating expenses are also incurred in local currencies, the
impact of exchange rates on net income or loss is relatively less than the
impact on revenues. Although our operating and pricing strategies take into
account changes in exchange rates over time, our operating results may be
significantly affected in the short term by fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates. Our international subsidiaries purchase licenses from the parent
company resulting in intercompany receivables and payables. These receivables
and payables are carried on each company's books at the historical local
currency that existed at the time of the transaction. Such receivables and
payables are eliminated for financial statement reporting purposes. Prior to
elimination, the amounts carried in foreign currencies are converted to U.S.
dollars at the then current rate or "marked to market." The marked to market
process may give rise to currency gains and losses. Such gains or losses are
recognized on our statement of operations as a component of other income, net.
To date, any such gains or losses have not been material. We do not believe that
our total exposure is significant.
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily
to our investment portfolio and long-term debt obligations. The primary
objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the
same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. Our portfolio
includes money markets funds, commercial paper, market auction preferreds,
government agency notes and medium-term notes. The diversity of our portfolio
helps us achieve our investment objective. As of March 31, 1999, approximately
91% of our entire portfolio will mature in one year or less and approximately
41% of our investment portfolio matures less than 90 days from the date of
purchase.
Long-term debt of $100.0 million consists of 5.25% Convertible Subordinated
Notes due 2004. The interest rate on these notes is fixed and the notes provide
for semi-annual interest payments of approximately $2.6 million each May 1 and
November 1. The notes are convertible into our common stock at any time prior to
the close of business on the maturity date, unless previously redeemed or
repurchased, subject to adjustment in certain events.
The following table presents the amounts of our cash equivalents,
investments and debt that may be subject to interest rate risk and the average

BUSINESS
This section contains forward-looking statements, including but not limited
to statements with respect to future events and our plans and objectives.
OVERVIEW
VERITAS is the leading independent supplier of enterprise data storage
management solutions, providing advanced storage management software for open
system environments. Our products provide performance improvement and
reliability enhancement features that are critical for many commercial
applications. These products enable protection against data loss and file
corruption, rapid recovery after disk or system failure, the ability to process
large files efficiently and the ability to manage and back up data distributed
on large networks of systems without interrupting users. In addition, our
products provide an automated fail over between computer systems organized in
clusters sharing disk resources. Our highly scalable products can be used
independently, and certain products can be combined to provide interoperable
client/server storage management solutions. Some of our products offer
centralized administration with a high degree of automation, enabling customers
to manage complex, distributed environments cost-effectively by increasing
system administrator productivity and system availability. We also provide a
comprehensive range of services to assist customers in planning and implementing
storage management solutions.
We market our products and associated services to original equipment
manufacturers and end-user customers through a combination of direct sales and
indirect sales channels such as resellers, value-added resellers, hardware
distributors, application software vendors and systems integrators. Our original
equipment manufacturer customers include Compaq, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Sun
Microsystems, Microsoft, Sequent Computer Systems and EMC Corporation. Our
end-user customers include AT&T, Bank of America, BMW, Boeing, British
Telecommunications, Daimler-Chrysler Corporation, Lucent Technologies, Oracle
Corporation and Motorola.
The widespread deployment of mission-critical client-server applications,
coupled with the explosion of corporate data, is quickly exceeding the ability
of current computing architectures to efficiently handle availability,
scalability and manageability issues. A new storage-centric architecture, called
storage area networking, or SAN, is emerging to address these issues. A variety
of other key industry vendors in the platform, storage, communications, switch
and applications areas have recognized this emerging trend. In a storage area
network computing environment, large centralized data stores, accessible by all
attached host computers across a high speed, "storage area" network, extend the
"any to any" connectivity of local area network architectures to storage
sources. Any data on the network, in any location, is accessible, through
multiple paths, to any nodes, applications and users on the network.
The ubiquitous data access provided by the storage area network "any to
any" connectivity can offer significant improvements in availability,
scalability and manageability over traditional "point to point" storage
architectures. The benefits of storage area networking are as follows:
- Lower cost of availability. In storage area networking architecture, all
nodes share physical access to all storage. This allows a single node to
function as a high availability "failover" server to a much larger number
of servers than is possible in traditional networks. When the switch
fabric is redundant, which it is in many cases, a storage area network
provides a significantly improved environment for clustering that can
extend to tens of nodes. Clustering significantly lowers the hardware
costs associated with high availability, allowing customers to use high
availability for many applications not cost-justifiable in current two to
four node cluster configurations. This will lead to significant
improvement in the availability of an enterprise's data and applications.
- Easy, modular scalability of server and storage resources. The fibre
channel architecture of a storage area network supports ubiquitous access
between all servers and all storage resources in
64
<PAGE> 66
the network, even while new servers, disk arrays and tape subsystems are
added. Customers can add server and storage resources on-line without
disrupting data access.
- Improved administrative productivity through centralized storage
management. A centralized pool of storage can be managed much more
efficiently from a single management interface. Common administrative
tasks such as volume and file system management, backup and restore,
hierarchical storage management, replication and off-site data vaulting
all can be centrally managed. This lowers the costs of storage management
on a per unit basis, and significantly increases the span of control of
existing administrators. The ability to leverage the channel speeds
offered by a storage area network can dramatically shorten backup and
restore windows compared with local area network-based backup and
restore.
- High performance data access. There is a much wider access to data at
channel speeds rather than SCSI speeds. This allows more nodes to gain at
least an order of magnitude faster access to more storage resources.
Superior high performance is of particular interest in application
environments that depend on bulk data transfer, such as imaging and
decision support.
OLD VERITAS PRODUCTS
Old VERITAS developed and we are integrating a family of innovative
solutions for end-to-end management of on-line, near-line and off-line resources
for the storage and management of enterprise-wide data. Our product line
encompasses products for:
- on-line file and disk management;
- off-line backup and hierarchical storage management;
- centralized and automated data management in heterogeneous computing
environments; and
- components that include availability enhancing features such as
multiserver failover to achieve fault tolerance and remote site
replication to accomplish rapid recovery in the event of a site disaster.
We have also developed application-specific customized packages that
provide storage management for major application environments such as the Sun
Microsystems NFS, Oracle and SAP, as well as for web servers.
Storage Foundation Products
VERITAS File System. This product enables fast system recovery, generally
within seconds, from operating system failure or disruption. It also allows
on-line performance tuning, file system defragmentation, file system
reconfiguration and file system back-up to be conducted without interrupting
users' access to files. Through the application of advanced journaling
technology, the VERITAS File System is designed to ensure that metadata, or
information describing the location, size and attributes of files, is maintained
in a consistent and correct state in the event of system failure or disruption.
In addition, the VERITAS File System incorporates advanced extent-based file
space allocation algorithms that can accelerate file access rates, thereby
providing enhanced system performance. Extent-based algorithms are particularly
critical in applications that require access to large, clustered or sequentially
accessed files.
VERITAS Volume Manager. This product provides protection against data loss
due to disk failure, permits the acceleration of system performance by allowing
files to be spread across multiple disks and allows the system administrator to
reconfigure data locations without interrupting users. The technology
incorporated into the VERITAS Volume Manager provides a virtual software layer
on top of the
65
<PAGE> 67
underlying physical disks connected to the system. Among the features that the
VERITAS Volume Manager provides are:
- spanning, which allows segments of user data to span multiple physical
disks and thereby overcome physical disk size limitations;
- mirroring, which allows for duplication of data on separate disks for
uninterrupted operations after disk failure;
- striping or interleaving data storage across multiple disks to increase
performance by providing multiple input/output data access points; and
- Raid-5, or striping with the addition of redundant data for uninterrupted
operations after disk failure.
VERITAS Accelerator for NFS. This product is an extension to the VERITAS
File System and enhances performance of the Sun Microsystems NFS. The
Accelerator takes information that would have been logged in the VERITAS File
System intent logs and uses a single log on a separate device. Multiple file
system logs can be consolidated and accessed sequentially on one or many of
these accelerator volumes, removing the head movement latency costs associated
with writing file system intent logs.
VERITAS SmartSync. This product was jointly developed with Oracle and is
licensed as a product option of the VERITAS Volume Manager. This product allows
Oracle redo logs to drive resynchronization of VERITAS Volume Manager mirrors to
cut down mirror resynchronization time to less than a minute as opposed to
hours. Resynchronization takes as long as the redo log replay. This
functionality works with Oracle 7.3.2 and later versions.
VERITAS Quick I/O Database Accelerator. This product allows databases to
run on a VERITAS file system at the same speed as on a raw device. The database
views the file system as a raw device and the system administrator sees it as a
file system. Therefore, an administrator can get the speed of a raw device with
the manageability of a file system.
VERITAS Clustered Volume Manager. Added as an extension to VERITAS Volume
Manager for parallel applications such as the Oracle Parallel Server, the
VERITAS Clustered Volume Manager offers the same functionality as the VERITAS
Volume Manager in a cluster of systems that can all read and update the same
data concurrently. The VERITAS Clustered Volume Manager ensures atomic, or all
or none, configuration updates and error event notification to all participating
servers. This provides consistent data and configuration updates, even in the
event of a system failure. For example, in the event of an Oracle Parallel
Server mirrored disk failure, all participating servers must automatically "see"
the failure. Without the VERITAS Clustered Volume Manager, there is a chance
that the error would only be seen by one server, resulting in the Oracle
Parallel Server delivering incorrect data.
VERITAS Clustered File System. This product extends VERITAS base File
System, and increases disk performance by allowing shared access to file systems
residing on a pool of shared disk arrays.
VERITAS Editions. VERITAS Editions, formerly referred to as VERITAS
ServerSuite, are integrated suites of products, providing customers with
complete data storage management and solutions optimized for specific server
environments including the Sun Microsystems NFS, Web servers and database
servers. VERITAS Editions include VERITAS Database Edition for Oracle, VERITAS
Edition for SAP, VERITAS Edition for NFS and VERITAS Edition for Web. VERITAS
Editions provides increased performance and availability on commodity servers.

<PAGE> 68
Storage Application Products
VERITAS NetBackup. This product reduces the workload for systems
administrators of heterogeneous platforms by providing easily configured
centralized backup scheduling, user-directed backups and restores, automated
distribution and installation of client software over the network, and easy
configuration of clients. NetBackup has a database extension that provides
comprehensive on-line and hot database backup for Oracle, Sybase and Informix
databases that can be acquired and deployed by customers on an as-needed basis.
VERITAS Global Data Manager. This product provides centralized management
of multiple and/or distributed NetBackup and Backup Exec storage domains. This
facilitates consistent policy management and monitoring of those domains.
VERITAS HSM. This product automatically moves data between file systems and
storage devices supporting most disk, tape, optical and robotics devices.
VERITAS HSM is a server-based, policy-driven migration tool that works in
conjunction with VERITAS NetBackup. VERITAS HSM has an enterprise extension that
provides a simple, cost-effective means to transparently migrate, purge and
cache files between file systems on various platforms.
VERITAS Media Librarian. This product operates and manages all types of
removable media volumes, devices and repositories. It provides a secure way to
share robotic libraries and media among multiple simultaneous applications.
VERITAS Media Librarian provides a simple interface to access and monitor
removable media in a heterogeneous network of servers and clients that
eliminates the need to deal with media types, device drivers and location
information. VERITAS Media Librarian provides protection against data loss,
enhances data accessibility and availability and reduces storage management
costs, in a scalable and cost-effective manner.
VERITAS Volume Optimizer. This product, an add-on product for VERITAS
Storage Manager, provides proactive, system-wide configuration analysis and
recommends changes to storage layouts for optimizing system performance and
reliability. This product can detect performance issues and make recommendations
enabling reconfiguration to alleviate such problems.
VERITAS Storage LookOut. This product, a storage application product,
identifies and notifies administrators of potential hardware failures before
they can cause outages or disrupt operations. Storage LookOut has been designed
and tested to deliver highly accurate fault detection and failure prediction.
With VERITAS Storage LookOut, administrators proactively manage data
availability. In addition, VERITAS Storage LookOut is a much more cost-effective
solution than the traditional fault tolerant hardware options.
High Availability and Clustering Products
VERITAS Storage Replicator for Volume Manager. This product allows
synchronous or asynchronous protocols, which support replicated volumes across
multiple servers, with all changes reflected and available for use at all
participating sites. It allows administrators to tailor replication
configurations to meet the requirements of specific sites and data types.
VERITAS Storage Replicator for Volume Manager can replicate any data type,
providing the flexibility to mirror entire servers or specific application data.
Through replication, application data can be sent from one primary site to
multiple secondary sites. Or, for more demanding disaster recovery environments
data can be replicated from many primary sites to a single secondary location
where data could then be warehoused. Although VERITAS Storage Replicator for
Volume Manager is targeted primarily for use in disaster recovery
configurations, it can also be used to address a wide range of data distribution
needs. Those include off-site backups, data vaulting, and data migration.
VERITAS Storage Replicator for File Systems. This product is a robust,
flexible, general purpose, data replication tool designed for use in enterprise
environments. Through a transport layer independent
67
<PAGE> 69
replication mechanism, designated file systems can be replicated to multiple
locations, local or remote. Storage Replicator manages file systems in parallel,
either locally across several file systems, remotely using standard NFS-mounted
file systems, or both. Based on a read-one-write-all replication protocol,
Storage Replicator ensures that writes to a replicated file system from any
participating server are reliably replicated to all servers. Local concurrency
control is managed by the underlying file system. Storage Replicator also tracks
the status of participating servers for fault management purposes. Replication
is continuous and all updates are immediately reflected and available for use in
active file systems across all servers.
VERITAS FirstWatch. This product adds high availability capabilities to
open system servers, making it possible to provide highly reliable network
services to users of client/server applications, including Sun Microsystems'
NFSfile service and databases. VERITAS FirstWatch automates the failover of
services to designated backup systems when systems and subsystems fail or become
unavailable.
VERITAS Cluster Server. This product, a high availability and clustering
product, is a comprehensive storage area networking-ready application
availability management solution, designed to minimize planned and unplanned
downtime. It is equally applicable in simple shared disk or storage area
networking configurations of up to 32 nodes, and compatible with single node,
parallel and distributed applications. VERITAS Cluster Server supports cascading
and multi-directional application failover. Also, application services can be
manually migrated to alternate nodes for maintenance purposes. VERITAS Cluster
Server provides continuous availability for the critical application
environments required to maintain smooth business operations.
New Products
We announced a new product that is expected to become available in mid
1999. Together with VERITAS Storage LookOut and VERITAS Cluster Server, this
product is part of an integrated suite which utilizes a centralized and
automated management interface to bring automated event, performance,
configuration and capacity management solutions to enterprise storage
configurations:
VERITAS Storage Planner. This product, a storage application product,
another add-on product for VERITAS Storage Manager, is a predictive storage
resource analysis tool, which assists system administrators with capacity
planning for future storage needs. The product analyzes data gathered by VERITAS
Storage Manager to determine how quickly storage objects are reaching capacity,
and makes recommendations when additional storage objects are needed.
Our new products may not be released on the anticipated schedule. It is
possible that they may not achieve market acceptance or adequately address the
changing needs of the marketplace on a timely basis, despite the dedication of
significant engineering resources to the development of the products. Any such
failure could cause us to receive little or no return on our investment of
significant resources which could adversely affect our business.
NSMG PRODUCTS
As a result of the NSMG combination, we now also offer a breadth of network
and storage management products, featuring:
VERITAS Backup Exec Desktop Editions. This product provides complete
plug-and-play backup and restore functions for desktop users running Microsoft
Windows NT Workstation, Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows 3.x and DOS.

VERITAS also has relationships with Microsoft that include a license that
allows Microsoft to bundle NSMG products with selected Microsoft products.
Additionally, NSMG developed the backup utility for Microsoft Windows 98 and is
developing the system disaster recovery and backup utilities for Windows NT 5.0.
NSMG has also licensed to Microsoft the hierarchical storage management
technology to be included in Windows NT Server 5.0.
TELEBACKUP PRODUCTS
As a result of the TeleBackup combination, we now also market software
technology that enables the automated backup and recovery of electronic
information created and stored on networked, remote and mobile personal
computer-based computer systems. The TSInfoPRO technology that we acquired was
designed to provide automated online backup, storage and disaster recovery of
information on mobile personal computers such as laptops or notebooks, and
remote units, such as remote offices and telecommuting work sites, via wide area
network, local area network or dial-up communications infrastructure. We market
these products through distribution partners, who re-brand the product under
their own trade names, as well as through value-added resellers.
TSInfoPRO EDV. This product is licensed to electronic data vaulting service
providers such as telephone and cable companies and Internet service providers,
who, on an out-sourced service basis, provide remote backup and recovery
services to personal computer users. The service provider establishes a safe,
offsite storage vault location at which the backup server farm and archived data
are stored and managed. Remote and mobile personal computer users subscribe to a
service offering and can back up their computer systems to that service provider
over their transmission medium of choice, such as telephone lines or the
Internet, through the TSInfoPro EDV technology.
TSInfoPRO Corporate. This product was introduced in early 1998 and is
targeted for implementation on a wide range of server repository engines,
including SunSolaris, Windows NT and SCO Unix,
69
<PAGE> 71
within the data center of enterprise customers. The Corporate product can be
used to back up and recover personal computer units on the organization's local
area network or wide area network, as well as remote and mobile users connecting
by dial-up communications infrastructure. These remote and mobile units can be
supported over the Internet or the organization's own intranet.
TSInfoPRO also includes security features such as authentication codes for
session validation, user personal identification numbers for file or system
restoration, a data scrambling process that acts in a similar capacity to a DES
or RSA encryption technique, and the storage of files in a compressed,
unreadable format.
SERVICES
Our customer service and support organization provides customers with
maintenance, technical support, consulting and training services. We believe
that providing a high level of customer service and technical support is
critical to customer satisfaction and our success. Most of our customers
currently have support agreements with us which typically provide for fixed fee,
renewable annual maintenance consisting of technical and emergency support as
well as minor product upgrades free of charge. Our service group provides the
following services:
Maintenance and technical support
We offer seven day-a-week, 24-hour telephone support as well as electronic
mail and fax customer support. Additional customer support is provided by some
of our value-added resellers, system integrators and original equipment
manufacturers. Initial product license fees do not cover maintenance.
Consulting
We believe that most customers need assistance before product selection and
not just for the implementation of purchased products. Therefore, we offer
strategy and analysis consulting services for planning the management and
control of client/server computing in their specific environment. In addition,
we offer services to assist customers with product implementation. As part of
our broad range of services, we believe we offer particular expertise in
analyzing network security threats and security policy integrity.
Training
We have a worldwide customer education and training organization which
offers training that enables the customer to better utilize our products,
reduces the need for technical support and provides the customer with a means to
optimize their personnel investment by allowing their technical staff access to
high quality, comprehensive instruction. The focus of this organization is
aligned with our strategy to offer end-to-end storage management solutions by
providing instruction from highly-experienced training professionals either at
the customer's location or at one of our multi-platform classrooms.
Porting
We port, or adapt, new and existing storage management products to customer
operating systems at the request of a customer. This may involve the development
of certain new product versions or features or extensions of existing products
to be ported to and embedded in the customer's operating system.
VERITAS MARKETING, SALES AND DISTRIBUTION
We market our products and associated services through original equipment
manufacturers and a combination of other distribution channels such as direct
sales, resellers, value-added resellers, hardware distributors, application
software vendors and systems integrators. Original equipment manufacturers
70
<PAGE> 72
incorporate the products into their operating systems on a bundled basis or
license them to third parties as an optional product. In most cases, we receive
a user license fee for each copy sublicensed by the original equipment
manufacturer to third parties. VERITAS provides its software products to
customers under non-exclusive license agreements, including shrink-wrap licenses
for certain products. As is customary in the software industry, in order to
protect its intellectual property rights, VERITAS does not sell or transfer
title to its software products to customers. VERITAS enters into both
object-code only and source-code licenses of its products.
Agreement with Microsoft
In August 1996, Old VERITAS entered into a development and license
agreement with Microsoft under which Old VERITAS agreed to develop a version of
our Volume Manager product, which Microsoft has called Logical Disk Manager, to
be ported to and embedded in version 5.0 of Microsoft's Windows NT operating
system. We believe that this will establish an installed customer base on the
Windows NT platform to which we can offer our products. We will not receive
royalties with respect to sales by Microsoft of the embedded product. Our
products may not become available for use in, and Microsoft is not required to
use our products in, future versions of Windows NT. Therefore it is possible
that we will not realize any expected benefits from the inclusion of this
embedded product in future versions of Windows NT.
Agreement with Sun Microsystems
In January 1997, Old VERITAS entered into a development, license and
distribution agreement with Sun Microsystems which provided a new distribution
channel for our products. Old VERITAS has developed a specialized, integrated
version of VERITAS Volume Manager that is bundled with the Solaris operating
system. The agreement also provides for the license of full versions of certain
VERITAS products and add-on modules to Sun Microsystems for bundling with
certain Sun Microsystems products. In connection with the merger with
OpenVision, Old VERITAS assumed an OpenVision development, license and
distribution agreement with Sun Microsystems, under which Sun Microsystems was
granted a limited exclusive license with respect to VERITAS NetBackup and
VERITAS HSM and to certain enhancements to and extensions of those products. In
August 1998, this development, license and distribution agreement was canceled
and replaced with an amendment to our development, license and distribution
agreement that granted a non-exclusive, except for several named resellers for
which Sun Microsystems retained exclusive distribution rights, license to
distribute and sub-license NetBackup, VERITAS HSM and all of the VERITAS
Editions. We may not be able to deliver our products to Sun Microsystems in a
timely manner despite the dedication of significant resources to the development
of the products. Also, simultaneous sales efforts by us and Sun Microsystems
with respect to our products could create certain channel conflicts.
Agreement with Hewlett-Packard
In November 1997, Old VERITAS entered into a marketing, engineering and
distribution agreement with Hewlett-Packard under which Hewlett-Packard will
offer certain components of the lite versions, or a functional subset of the
VERITAS Volume Manager, VERITAS Clustered Volume Manager, VERITAS NetBackup and
VERITAS File System with the HP-UX operating system. We will not receive
royalties with respect to the lite version of the VERITAS File System embedded
in the HP-UX operating system. Hewlett-Packard will become our reseller with
respect to certain of our products, including full feature versions of the above
named products, and we will offer full feature products and value-added products
to the HP-UX installed customer base. We may not be able to deliver our products
to Hewlett-Packard in a timely manner. Also, it is possible that our
deliverables and Hewlett-Packard deliverables under the agreement may not be
synchronized in a timely and successful manner and that Hewlett-Packard may not
be an effective reseller of our products. The simultaneous
71
<PAGE> 73
sales efforts by us and Hewlett-Packard with respect to our products could
create certain channel conflicts.
Sales, Marketing and Support Organization
During 1998, Old VERITAS continued to build our sales, marketing and
customer support organization with a focus on delivery of our products to
resellers, integrators and end users. As of December 31, 1998, Old VERITAS' U.S.
sales, marketing and consulting force consisted of 360 employees, including 71
pre-sales engineers that provide technical sales assistance. We have sales
subsidiaries in Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Sweden, the
Netherlands and Australia. As of December 31, 1998, Old VERITAS' international
sales force consisted of 112 persons located in Europe and North America and 13
persons located in Asia and the Pacific Rim. Old VERITAS also had approximately
140 resellers as of December 31, 1998 located in North America, Europe, Asia
Pacific, South America and the Middle East.
We expect to increase the number of our sales, marketing and customer
support employees in the future to expand our direct sales efforts to resellers
and end users. We may not have the necessary resources to accomplish this. It is
also possible that we will not be able to establish and expand these new
distribution channels successfully or complete the integration of our sales and
marketing efforts successfully. We expect to hire additional sales employees in
all regions in 1999. Competition for qualified sales, technical and other
personnel is intense, and we may not be able to attract, assimilate or retain
additional highly qualified employees in the future. We also may not be able to
manage our growth effectively.
NSMG SALES AND MARKETING
Prior to the NSMG combination, the NSMG business utilized direct sales
forces and indirect sales channels, such as distributors and original equipment
manufacturers, for sales of its products to end users.
Revenue from Ingram Micro Inc. accounted for 17% of the NSMG business total
revenues in fiscal 1996, 22% in fiscal 1997, 27% in fiscal 1998 and 28% in the
nine months ended April 2, 1999. Revenue from Tech Data, Inc. accounted for 12%
of total revenues in fiscal 1998. Indirect revenues, which include sales to
distributors and original equipment manufacturers, were 79% of total revenues
during fiscal 1996, 88% during fiscal 1997, 89% during fiscal 1998 and 92%
during the nine months ended April 2, 1999. Revenues outside of the Americas

COMPETITION
The markets in which we compete are intensely competitive and rapidly
changing. Our principal competition in the storage foundation products area
consists of internal development groups of current and prospective original
equipment manufacturer customers, which have the resources and capability to
develop their own storage management solutions. Among the original equipment
manufacturers which have competing storage management products are:
- Sun Microsystems for its Solaris system;
- Compaq Computer for its UNIX system;
- IBM for its AIX system; and
- Microsoft for Windows NT.
72
<PAGE> 74
We also encounter competition from other third party software vendors and
hardware companies offering products that incorporate certain of the features
provided by our products, and from disk controller and disk subsystem
manufacturers which have included or may include similar features.
Our primary competitors in the storage application products area include:
- the Cheyenne division of Computer Associates, for its ARCserve product;
- EMC, for its Enterprise Data Manager product;
- IBM, for its ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager product;
- Sterling Software, for its Alexandria Network Librarian product;
- StorageTek, for its REELbackup product;
- Hewlett-Packard, for its Omniback product; and
- Legato Systems, for its BudTool, NetWorker and GEMS products.
Our main competitors in the high availability and clustering product area
include Legato Systems, for its FullTime HA Plus and FullTime Clusters, Sun
Microsystems, for its Sun Cluster product, and Hewlett-Packard, for its
HP-ServiceGuard product.
Our competitors in the areas of remote backup technologies and electronic
data vaulting services include Connected Corp. in Framingham, Massachusetts,
Atrieva in Seattle, Washington, STAC Inc. in San Diego, California, and Core
Data in Phoenix, Arizona. These competitors are Windows NT-centric and differ in
the degree of system backup and recovery provided to users, with certain
companies offering data file set backup and recovery capability only.
Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical,
sales, marketing and other resources than we do, as well as greater name
recognition and a larger installed customer base. We expect that the market for
storage management software, which historically has been large and fragmented,
will become more consolidated with larger companies being better positioned to
compete in such an environment in the long term. As the storage management
software market develops, a number of companies with greater resources than us
could attempt to increase their presence in this market by acquiring or forming
strategic alliances with our competitors or business partners.
Our success will depend significantly on our ability to adapt to these
competing forces, to develop more advanced products more rapidly and less
expensively than our competitors, and to educate potential customers as to the
benefits of licensing our products rather than developing their own products.
Our future and existing competitors could introduce products with superior
features, scalability and functionality at lower prices than our products and
could also bundle existing or new products with other more established products
in order to compete with us. In addition, because there are relatively low
barriers to entry for the software market, we expect additional competition from
other established and emerging companies. Increased competition is likely to
result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any
of which could materially and adversely affect our business. We may not be able
to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and the failure
to do so would harm our business.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Our core storage management and high availability products primarily
operate with certain versions of the UNIX operating system as well as Windows
NT, offering many features that are critical for commercial applications. Our
development efforts have been directed towards developing new products for the
UNIX operating system, developing new features and functionality for existing
products, integrating products in the existing product line and porting new and
existing products to new operating systems such as Windows NT.
73
<PAGE> 75
Currently, our major research and development initiatives include:
- Additional integration of the full family of storage management products,
including further integration of VERITAS Volume Manager, VERITAS File
System and NetBackup;
- Development of new intelligent-level storage products;
- Porting of UNIX products to Windows NT; and
- Development of storage area network products.
Each of these initiatives involves technical and competitive challenges and
we may not be able to successfully overcome these challenges.
Development Work under Microsoft and Sun Microsystems Agreements
Our agreement with Microsoft provides for the development by us of a
version of our Volume Manager product, which Microsoft has called Logical Disk
Manager, to be ported to and embedded in version 5.0 of Windows NT. The
agreement also requires us to develop a disk management graphical user interface
designed specifically for Windows NT. Microsoft is providing funding for a
significant portion of the development expenses for this product payable in
quarterly increments. In order to perform under the agreement, we have hired
additional personnel with expertise in the Windows NT operating system
environment and are devoting substantial capital investment and resources to
successfully complete this project.
Our agreements with Sun Microsystems and Hewlett-Packard also impose
development obligations on us. We are required to commit significant staffing to
our projects with these original equipment manufacturers. We may not have the
resources necessary to perform our obligations under these agreements and our
development efforts may not be as successful as planned.
Size and Location of Research and Development Group
As of July 15, 1999, our research and development staff consisted of 664
employees located at our Mountain View, California headquarters and at our
facilities in North America. In addition, our subsidiary in Pune, India employed
a research and development staff of approximately 141 people.
Research and Development Expenditures
Old VERITAS had research and development expenses of $13.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999, $40.2 million in 1998, $25.2 million in 1997
and $18.5 million in 1996. These amounts exclude $0.6 million in 1998 and $2.2
million in 1996 for in-process research and development charges in connection
with acquisitions. We believe that technical leadership is essential to our
success and expect to continue to commit substantial resources to research and
development. Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to
enhance existing products, respond to changing customer requirements and develop
and introduce in a timely manner new products that keep pace with technological
developments and emerging industry standards. We continue to make substantial
investments in undisclosed new products, which may or may not be successful.
These research and development efforts may not be successfully completed and
therefore, future products may not be available on a timely basis or achieve
market acceptance.
Need to Hire Research and Development Personnel
We must hire additional research and development personnel for timely
completion of new products, including the adaptation of our products to Windows
NT and performance of obligations to key original equipment manufacturer
partners. The market for these personnel is very competitive and we cannot
assure you that we can hire them on a timely basis. We often consider acquiring
and purchasing technology to achieve certain of our objectives. We may not be
able to accomplish this successfully.
74
<PAGE> 76
Effect of Technological Advances
From time to time, we or our competitors may announce new products,
capabilities or technologies that have the potential to replace or shorten the
life cycles of our existing products. Announcements of currently planned or
other new products could cause customers to defer purchasing our existing
products. Old VERITAS had from time to time in the past experienced delays of up
to several months due to the complex nature of software developed by us and
other software developers for whose systems or applications we offer products.
We could experience delays in connection with our current or future product
development activities. Any such delays could have a material adverse effect on
our business.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
Measures We Take to Protect Our Intellectual Property
We regard certain features of our internal operations, software and
documentation as proprietary and rely on contract, copyright, patent, trademark
and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and other measures to protect
our proprietary information. Other than the patents acquired in the NSMG and
TeleBackup combination as described below, we currently hold no patents
applicable to our current business, although we have filed several applications
for patents, and existing copyright and trade secret laws afford only limited
protection.
As part of our confidentiality procedures, we generally enter into
non-disclosure agreements with our employees, distributors and corporate
partners, and license agreements with respect to our software, documentation and
other proprietary information. These licenses are generally non-transferable and
have a perpetual term.
Infringement Risks
We occasionally make source code available for certain of our products. The
provision of source code may increase the likelihood of misappropriation or
other misuse of our intellectual property. We also license some of our products
pursuant to shrink wrap license agreements that are not signed by licensees and
therefore may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. In
addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary
rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Thus, protection
of our proprietary rights may not be adequate. Our competitors also could
develop technology similar to our independently.
Litigation Risks
We are not aware that our products, trademarks or other proprietary rights
infringe the proprietary rights of third parties. However, from time to time, we
receive notices from third parties asserting that we have infringed their
patents or other intellectual property rights. We may find it necessary or
desirable in the future to obtain licenses from third parties relating to one or
more of our products or relating to current or future technologies. Third
parties could assert infringement claims against us in the future with respect
to current or future products. Any assertion could require us to enter into
royalty arrangements or result in costly litigation. As the number of software
products in the industry increases and the functionality of these products
further overlap, we believe that software developers may become increasingly
subject to infringement claims. Any claims, with or without merit, can be time
consuming and expensive to defend.
Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or
otherwise obtain and use our products or technology without authorization, or to
develop similar technology independently. Policing unauthorized use of our
products is difficult and, although we are unable to determine the extent to
which piracy of our software products exists, software piracy can be expected to
be a persistent problem.

research and development, 1,334 in sales, marketing, consulting and customer
support and 240 in finance and administrative services. We have not entered into
any collective bargaining agreement with our employees, and believe that our
relations with our employees are good. We believe that our future success will
depend in part upon the continued service of our key employees and on our
continued ability to hire and retain qualified personnel. We may not be able to
retain our key employees and may not be successful in attracting and retaining
sufficient numbers of qualified personnel to conduct our business in the future.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our board of directors has the following committees:
Audit Committee
The audit committee reviews with our independent public accountants and
with our internal accounting staff the scope and results of the independent
accountants' audit work, our annual financial statements, and our internal
accounting and control systems. The audit committee also recommends to the Board
the firm of independent public accountants to be selected to audit our accounts
and makes further inquiries as it deems necessary or desirable to inform itself
as to the conduct of our affairs.
Mr. Brooks and Mr. Rizzi are the members of the audit committee.
Compensation Committee
The compensation committee reviews and makes recommendations to the board
regarding the compensation for officers and compensation guidelines for our
employees and administers our stock purchase and stock option plans.
Mr. Rizzi and Mr. Brooks are the members of the compensation committee.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
How Board Members Are Compensated
Non-employee directors of VERITAS receive a specified number of stock
options under our directors' plan. None of the members of our board of directors
has received or will receive any fees for attending board or board committee
meetings, other than reimbursement of actual expenses they incur to attend
meetings.
Grant of Options to Directors
The VERITAS 1993 Directors' Stock Option Plan provides that each
non-employee director who is first elected or reelected to the board, is granted
an option to purchase 54,000 shares of our common stock on the later to occur of
(1) the date he or she is first elected or reelected to the board or (2) the
date his or her most recent prior option becomes fully vested as to all shares.
Each non-employee director will receive a succeeding grant of an option to
purchase 13,500 shares of our common stock each year on the anniversary date of
the most recent prior option granted to him or her provided the individual is
still a member of the board. A non-employee director shall not receive a
succeeding grant earlier than the first anniversary of his or her initial grant.
Exercisability of Options
Options granted under the directors' plan are immediately exercisable. Once
exercised, we will have a right to repurchase unvested shares. This repurchase
right lapses as the shares vest. Initial grants vest as to 3,375, and succeeding
grants vest as to 844, of the shares on the last day of each calendar quarter,
provided that the non-employee director attends at least one board meeting
during the quarter. If the
81
<PAGE> 83
non-employee director attends a meeting that occurs prior to the date the option
was granted, he or she will not receive vesting credit with respect to that
particular option as a result of attending the meeting.
Terms of Options
Options have a ten year term and will fully vest as to any shares that
remain unvested on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the
date the option is granted. Options cease vesting but remain exercisable if the
non-employee director ceases to be a member of the board, so long as he or she
continues to provide services to VERITAS as a consultant.
Effect of Mergers, Consolidations, Dissolutions or Liquidations
In the event of a merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation of
VERITAS, the sale of substantially all of the assets of VERITAS or any other
similar corporate transaction, the vesting of all options granted pursuant to
the directors' plan will accelerate and the options will become exercisable in
full and will terminate in accordance with termination provisions of the
directors' plan.
Number of Shares Reserved for Issuance under the Plan
An aggregate of 1,125,000 shares of our common stock is reserved for
issuance under the directors' plan. In the event that any outstanding option
under the directors' plan expires or terminates for any reason, the shares of
common stock allocable to the unexercised portion of the option shall be
available again for the grant. As of July 15, 1999 options to purchase 347,872
shares were outstanding, 183,692 had been exercised and 593,436 shares were
eligible for future grant.
Amendment to the Plan
On April 15, 1999, the VERITAS board of directors approved an amendment to
the directors' plan to provide that, if the number of outstanding shares of
common stock is changed as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse
stock split, combination or other similar capital change, the board of directors
will have discretion to determine whether the number of shares available under

OPTION GRANTS IN 1998
The following table sets forth further information regarding the individual
grants of stock options pursuant to our stock option plans during fiscal 1998 to
each of our named officers. The table illustrates the hypothetical gains or
"option spreads" that would exist for the options at the end of the ten-year
term of the option based on assumed annualized rates of compound stock price
appreciation of 5% and 10% from the dates the options were granted to the end of
the term. The 5% and 10% assumed rates of annual compound stock price
appreciation are mandated by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
do not represent our estimate or projection of future common stock prices.
Actual gains,
83
<PAGE> 85
if any, on option exercises will depend on the future performance of our common
stock and overall market conditions. The potential realizable values shown in
this table may never be achieved.

The exercise price of all stock options was equal to the fair market value
of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock options vest over four years at
the rate of 1/48 per month, such vesting to accelerate in the event of an
acquisition or merger. The options were granted for a term of ten years, subject
to earlier termination upon termination of employment. Share and per share data
has been restated to give retroactive effect to a 2-for-1 stock split in the
form of a stock dividend to be effected in July 1999.
AGGREGATE OPTION EXERCISES IN 1998 AND FISCAL YEAR-END OPTION VALUES
The following table sets forth certain information concerning the exercise
of stock options during 1998 by each of the named officers, including the
aggregate amount of gains on the date of exercise. In addition, the table
includes the number of shares covered by both vested and unvested stock options
held on December 31, 1998 by each of the named officers. Also reported are
values for "in the money" stock options that represent the positive spread
between the respective exercise prices of outstanding stock options and the fair
market value of the our common stock as of December 31, 1998. The fair market
value is determined by the closing price of our common stock on December 31,
1998, which was $29.97 per share.

Share data has been restated to give retroactive effect to a 2-for-1 stock
split in the form of a stock dividend to be effected in July 1999. The value
realized for option exercises is the aggregate fair market value of our common
stock on the date of exercise less the exercise price. The valuations shown
above for unexercised in-the-money options are based on the difference between
the option exercise price and the fair market value of the stock on December 31,
1998. These values have not been, and may never be, realized.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
All of the executive officers of VERITAS entered into employment agreements
with VERITAS effective May 28, 1999.
Terms of the Agreements
Under the employment agreements, these officers will be paid a base salary
and will be entitled to receive a performance bonus as determined by the board
of directors or the compensation committee. All these employment agreements
provide for a term of one year, except for Mark Leslie and Terence Cunningham,
which provide for a term of two years. In addition, each employment agreement
provides that at the end of its term, the employee shall continue on a
month-to-month basis on the terms and conditions in the employment agreement.
Severance Provisions
Generally, if we terminate one of these employment agreements as a result
of an involuntary termination described below, then the affected employee shall
be entitled to six months of the employee's base compensation, plus any unpaid
quarterly bonuses, and 50% of the employee's target bonus for the fiscal year.
In addition, the employee will be entitled to the continued vesting of all stock
options and restricted stock held by the employee through the consulting period
described below, and the continued exercisability of all stock options for three
months following the end of the consulting period. The employee shall also be
entitled to continue to receive health, dental and life insurance coverage and
shall be retained as a consultant as set forth in the applicable agreement.
The employee shall not be entitled to receive severance benefits if the
employee's employment terminates by reason of the employee's voluntary
resignation, if we terminate the employee's employment after the last day of the
employment term or if the termination is for cause as described below, except
those under our severance and benefits plans.
"Involuntary termination" means:
- without employee's consent, the reduction of employee's duties, authority
or responsibilities, or the assignment to employee of reduced duties,
authority or responsibilities;
- a reduction in the employee's base salary;
- a reduction in the employee's target bonus opportunity with the result
that employee's overall cash compensation package is significantly
reduced;
- the relocation of employee to a facility or a location more than 30 miles
away, without employee's consent;
- any termination of employee not for cause; and
- any act or set of acts that would, under California case law or statute,
constitute a constructive termination of employee.
The "consulting period" is a period of twelve months after the date of
involuntary termination if the involuntary termination occurs within six months
after the effective date of the NSMG combination or nine months after the date
of involuntary termination if the involuntary termination is more than six
months after the effective date of the NSMG combination.
Noncompetition Provisions
The employment agreements provide that until the end of the consulting
period, the employee will not be owner, consultant, director, or employee of any
business which has products which compete directly with our products, or without
our authorization. In addition, until one year after the employee's
85

termination for any reason, the employee shall not take away any of our
employees or cause an employee to leave.

stock. As of July 15, 1999 there were outstanding 169,706,808 shares of common
stock held of record by approximately 398 stockholders, options to purchase
24,469,866 shares of common stock and no warrants to purchase shares of common
stock.
COMMON STOCK
The holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive
dividends out of assets legally available at the times and amounts that the
board of directors determines, subject to preferences that apply to any
outstanding preferred stock at the time. Each stockholder is entitled to one
vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of
stockholders. Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights. This means that
the holders of a majority of the shares voted can elect all of the directors in
an election. Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not
subject to conversion or redemption. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of VERITAS, the assets legally available for distribution to stockholders are
distributable ratably among the holders of common stock and any participating
preferred stock after payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any
outstanding preferred stock and payment of other claims of creditors. Each
outstanding share of common stock is, and all shares of common stock to be
issued upon conversion of the notes and upon exchange of the Exchangeco
exchangeable shares will be upon payment for those shares, duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
SPECIAL VOTING STOCK
A single share of special voting stock is authorized for issuance and
outstanding. The holder of the voting share is not entitled to receive
dividends. The voting share possesses a number of votes equal to the number of
outstanding Exchangeco exchangeable shares not owned by us or any entity
controlled by us for the election of directors and on all other matters
submitted to a vote of our stockholders, except as otherwise required by law or
our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The holders of common
stock and the holder of the voting share will vote together as a single class on
all matters, except as required by law. The voting share is not entitled to
preemptive rights and is not convertible into other securities. Upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of VERITAS, the holder of the voting
share will not be entitled to receive any assets available for distribution to
its stockholders. The voting share will be canceled when the voting share has no
votes attached to it because there are no Exchangeco exchangeable shares
outstanding not owned by us or an entity controlled by us, and there are no
shares of stock, debt, options or other agreements of TeleBackup that could give
rise to the issuance of any exchangeable shares to any person. Other than the
cancellation described above, the voting share is not subject to any right of
redemption.
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
Charter and bylaw provisions
Staggered board. Our board of directors is divided into three classes as
nearly equal in size as possible with staggered three-year terms. The
classification of the board of directors could have the effect of making it more
difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from
acquiring, control of VERITAS because a majority of the board of directors
cannot be elected in any one year.
Stockholder Actions. Stockholder actions must be taken at meetings. Any
action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of VERITAS at an
annual meeting or a special meeting of the stockholders may be taken only if it
is properly brought before the meeting and may not be taken by written action in
lieu of a meeting.
92
<PAGE> 94
Limits on ability to call special meetings. The bylaws also provide that
special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the
board, the chief executive officer or by a majority of the members of the board
of directors.
Indemnification. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and
its bylaws provide that we will indemnify officers and directors against losses
that they may incur in investigations and legal proceedings resulting from their
services to us. These may include services in connection with takeover defense
measures. These provisions may have the effect of preventing changes in our
management.
Delaware anti-takeover law
We are subject to the provisions of Delaware's anti-takeover law regulating
corporate takeovers. The anti-takeover law prevents certain Delaware
corporations, including those whose securities are listed on the Nasdaq National
Market, from engaging, under certain circumstances, in a "business combination,"
which includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of the corporation's assets
with any "interested stockholder" for three years following the date that such
stockholder became an "interested stockholder." An interested stockholder is a
stockholder who owns 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock.
A Delaware corporation may "opt out" of the anti-takeover law with an express
provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision
in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws resulting from a stockholders'
amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. We
have not "opted out" of the provisions of the anti-takeover law.
Stockholder rights plan
Our board of directors has declared a dividend of one preferred share
purchase right for each outstanding share of common stock. The dividend was paid
to stockholders of record on June 25, 1999. We will issue one right with each
share of common stock that we issue between the record date and the earliest of
the distribution date described below, the date the rights are redeemed or the
date the rights expire. After the distribution date, we will issue one right
with each common share we issue upon the exercise of stock options or under any
employee plan or arrangement or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of
other securities (including the TeleBackup exchangeable shares) that were
outstanding before the distribution date, until the date the rights are either
redeemed or expire. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase one
one-hundredth of a share of Series A junior participating preferred stock at a
price of $550.00 per one one-hundredth of a preferred share. The description and
terms of the rights are set forth in a rights agreement between us and
ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C., as rights agent.
Exercisability and duration of rights
The rights are not exercisable until the distribution date described below.
The rights will expire on June 16, 2009, unless the expiration date is extended
or unless the rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged, in each case, as
described below.
Evidence and transfer of rights
The rights will be evidenced, with respect to any of the common stock share
certificates outstanding as of the record date, by the common stock share
certificates with a copy of the summary of rights distributed to stockholders of
record on June 25, 1999 attached. Common stock share certificates issued after
the record date will contain a notation incorporating the rights agreement by
reference, until the distribution date or earlier redemption or expiration of
the rights. Until the distribution date, the rights can be transferred only with
VERITAS common stock and the transfer of any VERITAS common stock certificates
will constitute the transfer of the rights associated with the common stock
(even without notation or a copy of the summary of rights). After the
distribution date, separate certificates
93
<PAGE> 95
representing the rights will be mailed to record holders of VERITAS common stock
on the distribution date and the separate certificates alone will evidence the
rights.
Triggering of rights
The rights became exercisable after the lapse of either:
- 10 days following a public announcement or disclosure that a person or
group of affiliated or associated persons, or an acquiring person, has
acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of
our common stock; or
- 10 business days, or later date as may be determined by the board prior
to the time a person or group becomes an acquiring person, following the
announcement of an intention to make a tender offer or exchange offer the
consummation of which would result in a person or group becoming an
acquiring person.
The earlier of those dates is called the distribution date. Seagate Technology,
Inc., Seagate Software, Inc. and their subsidiaries are not "acquiring persons"
as a result of the NSMG combination, unless Seagate Technology or Seagate
Software acquires shares in addition to the 69,148,208 shares of VERITAS common
stock issued to Seagate Software in the NSMG combination and unless all other
stockholders of VERITAS also acquire additional shares through the event, such
as the July 1999 stock dividend. No person or group will be an acquiring person
if the board determines in good faith that the person or group who would
otherwise be an acquiring person has become one inadvertently, and that person
or group promptly takes the actions necessary so that it would no longer be
considered an acquiring person.
Adjustments for stock splits or other transactions
The purchase price payable and the number of preferred shares or other
securities or property issuable upon exercise of the rights will be adjusted
from time to time to prevent dilution:
- in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or
reclassification of, the preferred shares;
- upon the grant to holders of the preferred shares of certain rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase preferred shares at a price, or
securities convertible into preferred shares with a conversion price,
less than the then current market price of the preferred shares;
- upon the distribution to holders of the preferred shares of evidences of
indebtedness or assets excluding regular periodic cash dividends, if any,
or dividends payable in preferred shares or of subscription rights or
warrants other than those referred to above;
- in the event of a stock dividend on our common stock payable in shares of
common stock prior to the distribution date; or
- subdivisions, consolidations or combinations of the shares of common
stock occurring, prior to the distribution date.
Terms of preferred shares
The preferred shares will have the terms described under "-- Preferred
stock."
Because of the nature of the preferred shares' dividend, liquidation and
voting rights, the value of the one one-hundredth interest in a preferred share
purchasable upon exercise of each right should approximate the value of one
share of common stock.
94
<PAGE> 96
Rights could purchase shares of common stock at a discount
If any person or group becomes an acquiring person, each holder of a right,
other than the acquiring person, will have the right to receive upon exercise
that number of shares of common stock having a market value of two times the
exercise price of the right unless the event causing the person or group to
become an acquiring person is a merger, acquisition or other business
combination described in the next paragraph. If we do not have a sufficient
amount of authorized common stock to satisfy the obligation to issue shares of
common stock, we must deliver upon payment of the exercise price of a right an
amount of cash or other securities equivalent in value to the shares of common
stock issuable upon exercise of a right.
In the event that any person or group becomes an acquiring person and (1)
we merge into or engage in certain other business combination transactions with
an acquiring person, or (2) 50% or more of our consolidated assets or earning
power are sold to an acquiring person, each holder of a right, other than the
acquiring person, will have the right to receive that number of shares of common
stock of the acquiring company which will have a market value of two times the
exercise price of the right.
At any time after any person becomes an acquiring person and prior to that
person or group acquiring 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock,
the board may exchange the rights, other than rights owned by the acquiring
person, at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock, or one one-hundredth
of a preferred share per right.
Adjustments to the purchase price
With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the purchase price will be
required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% in
the purchase price. No fractional preferred shares will be issued. However,
fractions which are integral multiples of one one-hundredth of a preferred share
may, at our election, be evidenced by depositary receipts. In lieu of fractional
shares, an adjustment in cash will be made based on the market price of the
preferred shares on the last trading day prior to the date of exercise.
The board may redeem the rights
At any time prior to such time as a person or group becomes an acquiring
person, the board of directors may redeem all, but not some, of the rights at a
price of $0.001 per right. The redemption of the rights may be made effective at
the time, on the basis and with any conditions as the board of directors in its
sole discretion may establish. After the period for redemption of the rights has
expired, the board may not amend the rights agreement to extend the period for
redemption of the rights. The right to exercise the rights terminates
immediately when they are redeemed and the only right of the holders of rights
after that time will be to receive the redemption price.
The board may amend the rights
The terms of the rights may be amended by a resolution of the board of
directors without the consent of the holders of the rights. However, from and
after such time as any person or group becomes an acquiring person, no amendment
may adversely affect the interests of the holders of the rights other than an
acquiring person.
Holders of unexercised rights do not have privileges of a stockholder
Until a right is exercised, the holder will have no rights as a stockholder
of VERITAS, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive
dividends.
95
<PAGE> 97
Reasons for stockholder rights plan
The rights in the stockholder rights plan are designed to protect and
maximize the value of the outstanding equity interests in VERITAS in the event
of an unsolicited attempt by an acquirer to take over VERITAS, in a manner or on
terms not approved by the board of directors. Takeover attempts frequently
include coercive tactics to deprive a company's board of directors and its
stockholders of any real opportunity to determine the destiny of the company.
The rights will be declared in order to deter these types of coercive tactics,
which, include a gradual accumulation of shares in the open market of a 15% or
greater position to be followed by a merger or a partial or two-tier tender
offer that does not treat all stockholders equally. These tactics unfairly
pressure stockholders, squeeze them out of their investment without giving them
any real choice and deprive them of the full value of their shares. The rights
are not intended to prevent a takeover of VERITAS and will not do so. Rather,
they are intended to provide the protections of the VERITAS stockholders rights
plan. Because the rights may be redeemed by VERITAS, they should not interfere
with any merger or business combination approved by the board of directors.
Issuance of the rights does not in any way weaken our financial strength or
interfere with our business plans. The issuance of the rights themselves has no
dilutive effect, will not affect reported earnings per share, should not be
taxable to us or to our stockholders and will not change the way in which our
shares are presently traded. Our board of directors believes that the rights
will represent a sound and reasonable means of addressing the complex issues of
corporate policy created by the current takeover environment. However, the
rights may have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an
acquisition of VERITAS deemed undesirable by the board of directors. The rights
may cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire
VERITAS on terms or in a manner not approved by our board of directors.
PREFERRED STOCK
The board is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by Delaware
law, to issue up to 10,000,000 additional shares of preferred stock. This
preferred stock may be issued in one or more series and the board may determine
the number of shares to be included in each series. The board may fix the
powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series and any
qualifications, limitations or restrictions on any series of preferred stock.
The board may also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series but
not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. All of these
actions may be taken without vote or action by the stockholders. Of these
shares, 2,000,000 shares are designated as the Series A junior participating
preferred shares that are reserved for issuance under the rights plan. The
rights of the Series A junior participating preferred shares are described
below.
Terms of preferred shares subject to the stockholder rights plan
Dividends. Each preferred share will be entitled to a quarterly dividend
payment of 100 times the dividend declared per share of common stock.
Voting. Each preferred share will have 100 votes, voting together with the
shares of common stock. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other
transaction in which shares of common stock are exchanged, each preferred share
will be entitled to receive 100 times the amount received per share of common
stock.
Liquidation or dissolution. In the event of liquidation, each preferred
share will be entitled to a $1.00 preference, and after the holders of the
preferred shares will be entitled to an aggregate payment of 100 times the
aggregate payment made per share of common stock.
Redemption. The preferred shares purchasable upon exercise of the rights,
described above, will not be redeemable.
96
<PAGE> 98
Anti-takeover effect of undesignated preferred stock
With respect to the remaining authorized but undesignated shares of
preferred stock, the board of directors may authorize and issue preferred stock
with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or
other rights of the holders of common stock. This is because the terms of the
preferred stock could conceivably prohibit consummation of any merger,
reorganization, sale of substantially all of our assets or other extraordinary
corporate transaction without approval of the outstanding shares of preferred
stock. Thus, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of VERITAS.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Number of directors. The number of directors on the board of directors
shall be fixed exclusively by the board of directors, subject to the rights of
the holders of preferred stock. We currently have ten directors.
Adding directors. Newly created directorships or any vacancies in the board
of directors may be filled only by a majority vote of the directors then in
office or by a sole remaining director, subject to the rights of the holders of
any outstanding preferred stock.
Removal of directors. Any director may be removed from office at any time,
but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
two-thirds of the voting power of all outstanding shares entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors.
AMENDMENT OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND THE
BYLAWS OF VERITAS
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that either
the board of directors or the stockholders may adopt, amend or repeal the
bylaws. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of the bylaws by the board of
directors requires the approval of a majority of the total number of authorized
directors regardless of vacancies, or by the whole board. Any adoption,
amendment or repeal of the bylaws by the stockholders requires the affirmative
vote of at least two-thirds of the affirmative voting power of all outstanding
shares entitled to vote generally, voting as a single class.
Provisions of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation may be
amended or repealed by the stockholders in the manner prescribed by Delaware
law. However, the amendment, adoption, or repeal of any provision inconsistent
with the provisions relating to the following require the approval of at least
two-thirds of the affirmative voting power of all outstanding shares entitled to
vote generally, voting as a single class:
- the composition of the board of directors;
- the amendment of bylaws;
- the prohibition of actions of the stockholders written consent; or
- the amendment of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
WARBURG PINCUS' REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Warburg Pincus has the right, on up to two occasions, to require us to
register for public resale the securities held by it. The securities to be sold
must have an aggregate offering price of at least $5.0 million. We have the
right to delay any registration for up to 60 days under various circumstances.
In addition, Warburg Pincus has certain "piggyback" registration rights. If
we propose to register any of our securities under the Securities Act, Warburg
Pincus may require us to include all or a portion of its shares in the
registration. This right does not apply to registrations in connection with the
issuance
97
<PAGE> 99
of debt securities, its employee benefit plans or a merger or reorganization
transaction. This piggyback right is subject to the right of the managing
underwriter, if any, to limit the number of shares to be included by Warburg
Pincus in the registration.
Expiration
These registration rights will expire at the time that all shares of
VERITAS received by Warburg Pincus in the NSMG combination may be resold in a
three month period under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
Expenses
We will pay all expenses incurred in connection with the above
registration, other than the underwriters' and brokers' discounts and
commissions and the fees of counsel for Warburg Pincus.
SEAGATE SOFTWARE REGISTRATION RIGHTS
In connection with the NSMG combination, VERITAS and Seagate Software and
Seagate Technology entered into a stockholder agreement limiting the rights of
Seagate Software and Seagate Technology to resell and acquire additional shares
of VERITAS common stock. VERITAS and Seagate Software also entered into a
registration rights agreement pursuant to which VERITAS granted SSI rights to
have the resale of the shares of VERITAS common stock it holds registered under
the Securities Act. Under the registration rights agreement, until all of the
registrable shares could be resold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
VERITAS will permit Seagate Software to "piggyback" on other registration
statements, and to request registration of resales once in any nine-month
period.
So long as Seagate Software and Seagate Technology collectively own at
least 5.0% of VERITAS' outstanding common stock, Seagate Software and Seagate
Technology may only sell shares of VERITAS common stock as follows:
- no shares in the quarter ending in June, 1999;
- 4,000,000 shares in the quarter ending in September, 1999;
- 4,000,000 shares in the quarter ending in December, 1999;
- 4,000,000 shares in the quarter ending in March, 2000; and
- 6,000,000 shares in the quarter ending in June, 2000.
They will also have the right to sell up to 12,000,000 shares in an underwritten
public offering once in the first year after completion of the NSMG combination,
but if they exercise this right, they will be prohibited from selling other
shares in the quarter that the offering is completed. They may not transfer,
assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of any VERITAS securities for one year after
the closing of the NSMG combination except in the manner noted above.
After that date, they may not sell their VERITAS stock except:
- to VERITAS or to a person or persons that VERITAS has previously approved
in writing;
- in a bona fide underwritten public offering;
- under Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
- in other private transactions so long as such private transactions do not
result in any single person or group owning 5% or more of the total
outstanding voting stock of VERITAS;
- in response to a tender offer not opposed by the VERITAS board;
98
<PAGE> 100
- in a merger or consolidation approved by the VERITAS board in which
VERITAS is acquired; or
- in a plan of liquidation that is authorized by the VERITAS board.

</TABLE>
The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several
underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the shares of common stock are
subject to the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and to certain
other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the
shares of common stock offered hereby (other than those covered by the U.S.
underwriters' over-allotment option described below) if any such shares are
taken.
In the Agreement between U.S. and International Underwriters, sales may be
made between U.S. underwriters and international underwriters. The per share
price of any shares sold by the underwriters will be the public offering price
set forth on the cover page of this prospectus of any number of shares as may be
mutually agreed, in United States dollars, less an amount not greater than
$ a share.
The underwriters initially propose to offer part of the shares of common
stock directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover
page of this prospectus and part to certain dealers at a price that represents a
concession not in excess of $ a share under the public offering price.
Any underwriter may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in
excess of $ a share to other underwriters or to certain dealers. After
the initial offering of the shares of common stock, the offering price and other
selling terms may from time to time be varied by the representatives.
The selling stockholders have granted to the U.S. underwriters an option,
exercisable for 30 days from the date of the underwriting agreement, to purchase
up to an aggregate of 1,800,000 additional shares of common stock at the public
offering price set forth on the cover page hereof, less underwriting discounts
and commissions. The U.S. underwriters may exercise such option solely for the
purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the
offering of the shares of common stock. To the extent such option is exercised,
each U.S. underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain
100
<PAGE> 102
conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage of such additional
shares of common stock as the number set forth next to such underwriter's name
in the preceding table bears to the total number of shares of common stock set
forth next to the names of all underwriters in the preceding table.
The underwriting agreement provides that VERITAS and the selling
stockholders will indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities under
the Securities Act.
VERITAS, certain of its directors, executive officers (except as to 600,000
shares of common stock in the aggregate) and other selling stockholders (who, as
of July 15, 1999, owned an aggregate of approximately 63 million shares of
common stock) have agreed that they will not (a) offer, pledge, sell, contract
to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or
contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or
otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of common
stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
common stock, or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to
another person, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of
ownership of the common stock, whether any such transaction described in clause
(a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of common stock or such other
securities, in cash or otherwise, for a 90-day period after the date of the
final prospectus related to this offering, without the prior written consent of
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, except that VERITAS may, without such
consent, (1) issue the common stock offered hereby, (2) grant options or issue
stock upon the exercise of outstanding stock options pursuant to VERITAS' stock
option plans and (3) take any of the proscribed actions in connection with
acquisitions of technologies, businesses or portions thereof.
In order to facilitate the offering of the common stock, the underwriters
may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the
price of the common stock. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in
connection with the offering, creating a short position in the common stock for
their own account. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the
price of the common stock, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, shares of
common stock in the open market. Finally, the underwriters may reclaim selling
concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the common
stock in the offering, if the underwriters repurchase previously distributed
common stock in transactions to cover underwriters short positions, in
stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize
or maintain the market price of the common stock above independent market
levels. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may
end any of these activities at any time.
Some of the underwriters have engaged in transactions with and performed
various investment banking and other services for VERITAS in the past, and may
do so from time to time in the future.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market
could adversely affect prevailing market prices from time to time.
Upon completion of this offering, and based on shares outstanding at July
15, 1999 VERITAS will have outstanding an aggregate of 169,706,808 shares of
common stock, assuming no exercise of outstanding options. Of these shares,
105,926,246 shares, including all of the shares sold in this offering, are
freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under the
Securities Act, unless such shares are purchased by "affiliates" of VERITAS as
that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (the "Affiliates"). As
a result of certain contractual restrictions described below, 63,786,562
additional shares will be eligible for sale 90 days after the date of the final
prospectus related to this offering, with all of such shares subject to the
volume limitations and other conditions of Rule 144 described below.
The selling stockholders have agreed not to offer, pledge, sell, contract
to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or
contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise
transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly (or enter into any swap or other
arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of), any shares of common stock or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of common stock, for
a period of 90 days after the date of the underwriting agreement, without the
prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated. Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated may in its sole discretion choose to release a certain number of
these shares from such restrictions prior to the expiration of such 90 day
period.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons
whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at
least one year including the holding period of any prior owner except an
Affiliate would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of
shares that does not exceed the greater of: (i) 1% of the number of shares of
common stock then outstanding (which will equal approximately 1.7 million shares
immediately after this offering); or (ii) the average weekly trading volume of
the common stock on the Nasdaq National Market during the four calendar weeks
preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale. Sales
under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions and notice
requirements and to the availability of current public information about
VERITAS.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Warburg Pincus and Seagate Software have agreed that they will not exercise
their rights to require us to register shares of our common stock held by them

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Stockholders and Board of Directors
VERITAS Software Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of VERITAS
Software Corporation as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 16(b).
These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
VERITAS Software Corporation at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

management, includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The
results for the three months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative
of results for the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with
maturities of less than ninety days when purchased. The Company invests its
excess cash in diversified instruments maintained primarily in U.S. financial
institutions in an effort to preserve principal and to maintain safety and
liquidity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(INFORMATION AS OF MARCH 31, 1999 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1999 IS UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The Company has determined its short-term investments are held to maturity
under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", (SFAS No.
115) and accordingly such amounts are recorded at amortized cost. At December
31, 1998, amortized cost approximated fair value for all cash equivalents and
short-term investments. To date, there have been no significant realized or
unrealized gains or losses on the short-term investments. The cost of securities
sold is based on the specific identification method.
Long-Term Investments
Investments with original maturities greater than one year from date of
purchase are classified as long-term. The Company accounts for its long-term
investments in accordance with SFAS No. 115 and these investments are classified
as held to maturity as of the balance sheet date. At December 31, 1998,
amortized cost approximated fair value for all long-term investments and, to
date, there have been no significant realized or unrealized gains or losses on
the Company's long-term investments.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the term of the related lease, if
shorter. The estimated useful lives of furniture and equipment and computer
equipment is generally three to five years. The Company also depreciates a
building located in India over fifteen years. Depreciation and amortization of
property and equipment charged to costs and expenses was approximately $3.3
million, $3.1 million and $6.9 million for the years ended December 31, 1996,
1997 and 1998, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
In October of 1997 the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, "Software
Revenue Recognition". These statements provide guidance on applying generally
accepted accounting principles in recognizing revenue on software transactions.
SOP 97-2, as amended by SOP 98-4 was effective for revenue recognized under
software license and service arrangements beginning January 1, 1998.
The Company derives revenue from software licenses and customer support and
other services. Service revenue includes contracts for software maintenance and
technical support, consulting, training, and porting fees. In software
arrangements that include rights to multiple software products and/or services,
the Company allocates the total arrangement fee among each of the deliverables
based on the relative fair value of each of the deliverables, determined based
on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value.
The Company recognizes revenue from licensing of software products to an
end user upon delivery of the software product to the customer, unless the fee
is not fixed or determinable, or collectibility is not considered probable. For
licensing of the Company's software to OEMs, revenue is not recognized until the
software is sold by the OEM to an end-user customer. The Company considers all
arrangements with payment terms extending beyond twelve months and other
arrangements with payment terms longer than

normal not to be fixed or determinable. If collectibility is not considered
probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected.
Customer support revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
period that the support is provided. Other software service arrangements are
evaluated to determine whether those services are essential to the functionality
of the other elements of the arrangement. When software services are considered
essential, revenue under the arrangement is recognized using contract
accounting. When software services are not considered essential, the revenue
allocable to the software services is recognized as the services are performed.
The Company generally considers software services essential unless the software
is paid for before the services commence and the services are limited to
training or nominal installation.
Revenue is recognized using contract accounting for arrangements involving
customization or modification of the software or where software services are
considered essential to the functionality of the software. Revenue from these
software arrangements is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method
with progress-to-completion measured using labor cost inputs.
Software Development Costs
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 "Accounting for
the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,"
certain software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of
technological feasibility are capitalized and amortized over the estimated lives
of the related products. Technological feasibility is established upon
completion of a working model, which is typically demonstrated by initial beta
shipment. The period between the achievement of technological feasibility and
the general release of the Company's products has been of short duration. As of
December 31, 1998 such capitalizable software development costs were
insignificant and all software development costs have been charged to research
and development expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of
operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of investments in debt
securities and trade receivables. The Company primarily invests its excess cash
in commercial paper rated A-1/P-1, market auction preferreds, government agency
notes, medium-term notes, certificates of deposit with approved financial
institutions, and other specific money market instruments of similar liquidity
and credit quality. The Company is exposed to credit risks in the event of
default by the financial institutions or issuers of investments to the extent
recorded on the balance sheet. The Company generally does not require
collateral. The Company maintains allowances for credit losses, and such losses
have been within management's expectations. For the year ended December 31,
1998, one customer accounted for approximately 12% or $25.8 million of the
Company's revenue. For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 no customer
accounted for greater than 10% of revenues.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Net Income Per Share
The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No. 128).
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed
using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common
shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common shares consist of employee
stock options using the treasury stock method.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock based compensation in accordance
with APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related
interpretations. Pro forma net income and net income per share disclosures
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for
Stock Based Compensation", are included in Note 8.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
Assets and liabilities of certain foreign subsidiaries, whose functional
currency is the local currency, are translated at year-end exchange rates.
Income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange
prevailing during the year. The adjustment resulting from translating the
financial statements of such foreign subsidiaries is reflected as a separate
component of stockholder's equity. Certain other transaction gains or losses,
which have not been material, are reported in results of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
When an event or change in circumstance indicates that the carrying amount
of property and equipment or other long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the
Company reviews the asset for impairment. The Company determines recoverability
by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to net future discounted cash
flows that the asset is expected to generate. The impairment recognized is the
amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No.
133). SFAS No. 133 establishes methods of accounting for derivative financial
instruments and hedging activities related to those instruments as well as other
hedging activities. The Company will be required to implement SFAS No. 133 for
its fiscal year ending December 31, 2001. The Company's exchange rate hedging
activities have been insignificant to date and the Company does not believe the
impact of SFAS No. 133 will be material to its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". SOP 98-1 requires
that entities capitalize certain costs related to internal-use software once
certain criteria have been met. The Company implemented SOP 98-1 effective
January 1, 1999.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The adoption of SOP 98-1 did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements, and the Company does not believe that the impact of SOP
98-1 will have material effect to the Company's financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.
In December 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions". SOP 98-9
amends SOP 97-2 "Software Revenue Recognition" to require recognition of revenue
using the "residual method" when certain criteria are met. The Company will be
required to implement these provisions of SOP 98-9 for its fiscal year ending
December 31, 2000. Effective in December 1998, SOP 98-9 also amended SOP 98-4
(an earlier amendment to SOP 97-2) to extend the deferral of the application of
certain passages of SOP 97-2 provided by SOP 98-4. The Company does not believe
the impact of SOP 98-9 will be material to the Company's financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.
NOTE 2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On February 8, 1999, VERITAS completed the acquisition of the Pune, India
operations of Frontier Software Development (India) Private Limited, a company
principally engaged in the development of customized software, for a total cost
of approximately $2.4 million. Of this amount, VERITAS paid $1.3 million in cash
and agreed to pay Frontier certain earn-out payments totaling $1.1 million over
the next two years. The business combination has been accounted for as a
purchase and the purchase price, including the $1.1 million of earn-out
payments, allocated to the fair value of specific tangible and intangible assets
acquired.
On February 3, 1999, VERITAS completed the acquisition of OpenVision
Australia Pty. Ltd., a company principally engaged in reselling VERITAS software
products and services throughout Australia and New Zealand, for a total cost of
approximately $300,000 in cash. The business combination has been accounted for
as a purchase and the purchase price allocated to the fair value of specific
tangible and intangible assets acquired.
On May 15, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Windward for a total cost of $2.5 million. The transaction was accounted for
using purchase accounting. Of the total cost, $0.6 million was allocated to
in-process research and development and $1.9 million was allocated to acquired
intangibles, which will be amortized over a five year period. Total cash
outflows related to this purchase through December 31, 1998, were $1.3 million.
The Company has agreed to pay the sole shareholder of Windward certain earn-out
payments of up to an aggregate of $1.2 million over a two year period, subject
to satisfaction of certain conditions (which it was probable would be met) and
the amount was accrued at the acquisition date. VERITAS also agreed to pay that
shareholder a royalty on certain future product revenue derived from the
products acquired over a five year period, up to a maximum of $2.5 million. The
Consolidated Statements of Operations include the results of operations of
Windward subsequent to the acquisition date. The results of operations of
Windward were not material to the Company's results of operations for 1998 or
1997. Accordingly, pro forma information has not been presented.
Effective April 25, 1997, the Company merged with OpenVision, a
publicly-held company that provided storage management applications and services
for client/server computing environments. This transaction was accounted for as
a pooling of interests. Approximately 29.2 million shares of the Company's
common stock were issued in the OpenVision merger and the Company reserved

Note: April 1, 1997 was used as an approximation of the effective date of
the Merger.
As a result of the OpenVision merger, the Company incurred charges to
operations of $8.5 million during the second quarter of 1997, consisting of
approximately $4.2 million for transaction fees and professional services, $1.9
million for contract terminations and asset write-offs and $2.4 million for
other costs incident to the merger. Of the total charge, $1.2 million resulted
from the write-down of redundant assets and facilities, primarily consisting of
intangible assets related to a prior acquisition which became redundant as a
result of OpenVision having a similar product line, and $7.3 million involved
cash outflows for banking, legal and accounting fees and other direct costs and
payments in connection with the elimination of duplicative facilities. The
remaining unpaid amount of $0.2 million at December 31, 1998 related primarily
to ongoing lease payments for vacated facilities through the termination of the
lease or the estimated date when such facilities will be subleased.
On April 1, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of ACSC
for a total cost of approximately $3.5 million. Of the total charge, $2.2
million was allocated to in-process research and development which was expensed
in the second quarter of 1996 and approximately $1.3 million was allocated to
acquired intangibles that were originally amortized and then fully written off
in the second quarter of 1997. The write-off was part of the OpenVision
merger-related costs, as the ACSC product line became redundant upon
consummation of the OpenVision merger.

NOTE 5. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES
In October 1997, the Company issued $100.0 million aggregate principal
amount of 5.25% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2004 (the Notes), for which
the Company received net proceeds of $97.5 million. The Notes provide for
semi-annual interest payments of approximately $2.6 million each May 1 and
November 1, commencing on May 1, 1998. The Notes are convertible into the
Company's Common Stock at any time prior to the close of business on the
maturity date, unless previously redeemed or repurchased, at a conversion price
of $21.50 per share, subject to adjustment in certain events. On or after
November 5, 2002, the Notes will be redeemable over the period of time until
maturity at the option of the Company at declining premiums to par. The debt
issuance costs are being amortized as interest expense ratably over the term of
the Notes. The fair value of the notes as of December 31, 1998 was $139.1
million, and is calculated using the conversion price of $21.50 per share on the
principal amount of the notes and the closing price of the Company's stock.
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company currently has operating leases for its facilities through
October 31, 2012. Rental expense under operating leases was approximately $3.0
million, $4.3 million and $6.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1996,
1997, and 1998, respectively. In addition to the basic rent, the Company is
responsible for all taxes, insurance and utilities related to the facilities.
The approximate minimum lease payments as of December 31, 1998 are as follows

In the ordinary course of business, various lawsuits and claims have been
filed against the Company. While the outcome of these matters is currently not
determinable, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 7. BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has adopted a retirement savings plan (the VERITAS Software
401(k) Plan), qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which
is a pretax savings plan covering substantially all United States employees.
Under the plan employees may contribute up to 20% of their pretax salary,
subject to certain limitations. Employees are eligible to participate beginning
the first day of the calendar quarter following their date of hire. The Company
matches approximately 25% of the employee contributions up to $1,200 per year
and contributed approximately $0.1 million in 1996, $0.3 million in 1997 and
$0.6 million in 1998. The Company also has a retirement savings plan that was
assumed under the merger with OpenVision (the OpenVision Employee Investment
Plan), which will terminate in 1999. Employees no longer contribute to the
OpenVision plan and the remaining balances will be transferred to the Company's
plan upon termination.

NOTE 8. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
At December 31, 1998, the Company had three stock-based compensation plans,
which are described below. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its plans. Since the exercise price of options
granted under such plans is generally equal to the market value on the date of
grant, no compensation cost has been recognized for grants under its stock
option plans and stock purchase plans. If compensation cost for the Company's
stock-based compensation plans had been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123,
the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the
pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per share amounts):
<TABLE>

Diluted earnings per share
As reported............................. $ 0.13 $ 0.23 $ 0.50
Pro forma............................... $ 0.09 $ 0.13 $ 0.32
</TABLE>
Because the method of accounting prescribed by SFAS No. 123 has not been
applied to options granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma
compensation cost may not be representative of that to be expected in future
years.
Stock Option Plans
The Company has two stock option plans. The Company's 1993 Equity Incentive
Plan (the 1993 Plan) provides for the issuance of either incentive or
nonstatutory stock options to employees and consultants of the Company. The
options generally are granted at the fair market value of the Company's common
stock at the date of grant, expire ten years from the date of grant, vest over a
four-year period and are exercisable immediately upon vesting. The Company has
reserved 32,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 1993 Plan. The
Company has also reserved 1,125,000 shares for issuance under the Company's 1993
Director's Stock Option Plan (the Director's Plan). Generally options expire ten
years from date of grant, vest over the term of each directors board membership
and are exercisable immediately upon vesting. As of December 31, 1998,
20,956,938 shares were available for future grant under the plans.
The Company's 1991 Executive Stock Option Plan and 1985 Employee Stock
Option Plan were terminated, and no further options may be granted under these
plans. Options previously granted under the 1991 and 1985 plans will continue to
be administered under such plans, and any options that expire or become
unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full shall be
available for issuance under the 1993 Plan.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in 1996, 1997 and 1998: risk-free interest rates
averaging 5.99% in 1996, 6.19% in 1997 and 5.15% in 1998; a dividend yield of

Plan option was converted into a right to purchase shares of the Company's
common stock. No new offering periods will be commenced under the 1996 Purchase
Plan, and the 1996 Purchase Plan was terminated on October 31, 1998. Under the
Company's 1993 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 1993 Purchase Plan), the
Company is authorized to issue up to 4,000,000 shares of common stock to its
full-time employees, nearly all of whom are eligible to participate. Under the
terms of the 1993 Purchase Plan, employees can choose to have up to 10% of their
wages withheld to purchase the Company's common stock. The purchase price of the
stock is 85% of the lower of the subscription date fair market value and the
purchase date fair market value. Substantially all of the eligible employees
have participated in the either the 1993 Purchase Plan or the 1996 Purchase Plan
in 1996, 1997 and 1998. Under the 1993 Purchase Plan, the Company issued
458,890, 199,228, and 339,810 shares to employees in 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively. Under the 1996 Purchase Plan, the Company issued 102,446, 140,978
and 197,834 shares to employees in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
In accordance with APB 25, the Company does not recognize compensation cost
related to employee purchase rights under the Plan. To comply with the pro forma
reporting requirements of SFAS No. 123, compensation cost is estimated for the
fair value of the employees' purchase rights using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following assumptions for these rights granted in
1996, 1997 and 1998: a dividend yield of 0.0% for all years; an expected life
ranging up to 2 years for all years; an expected volatility factor of 0.65 in
1996, 0.60 in 1997 and 0.65 in 1998; and risk-free interest rates ranging from
4.81% to 6.01% in 1996, from 5.27% to 5.84% in 1997 and from 5.14% to 5.39% in
1998. The weighted average fair value of the purchase rights granted in 1996,
1997 and 1998 was $6.88, $13.90 and $14.16, respectively.
NOTE 9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On October 4, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a
Stockholder Rights Plan, declaring a dividend of one preferred share purchase
right (a Right) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per
share, of VERITAS. The rights are initially attached to the Company's common
stock and will not trade separately. If a person or group acquires 20 percent or
more of the Company's common stock, or announces an intention to make a tender
offer for the Company's common stock the consummation of which would result in
acquiring 20 percent or more of the Company's common stock, then the rights will
be distributed and will then trade separately from the common stock. Each Right
entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of
a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per
share, of the Company. The rights expire October 5, 2008, unless the expiration
date is extended or unless the rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the
Company.
Share and per share amounts applicable to prior periods in the consolidated
financial statements have been restated to reflect a 3-for-2 stock split in the
form of a stock dividend executed by the Company in May 1998.
The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated
preferred stock. No such preferred shares have been issued to date.
Total common shares reserved for issuance at December 31, 1998 under all
stock compensation plans are 37,125,000 shares (see Note 8).

The valuation allowance decreased by approximately $3.9, $13.6 and $5.0
million in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. As of December 31, 1998
approximately $11.6 million of the valuation allowance reflected above relates
to the tax benefits of stock option deductions which will be credited to equity
when realized.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had federal tax loss carryforwards of
approximately $63.0 million which will expire in 2007 through 2011, if not
utilized. Because of the change in ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code, a substantial portion of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards
may be subject to annual limitations. The annual limitation may result in the
expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before utilization.
Management has determined based on the Company's history of prior earnings,
its expectations for the future and the extended period over which the benefits
of certain deferred tax assets will be realized, as well as the limitations on
its ability to utilize certain net operating loss carryforwards, that a
substantial valuation allowance continues to be necessary.
The realization of the Company's net deferred tax assets, which relate
primarily to net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences is
dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in future periods. Although
realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that
the net deferred tax assets will be realized.

comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption of this Statement
had no significant impact on the Company's net income or stockholders' equity.
SFAS No. 130 requires foreign currency translation adjustments, which prior to
adoption were reported separately in stockholders' equity, to be included in
other comprehensive income.

NOTE 13. SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Volume Manager product to be ported and embedded in Windows NT 5.0. The
Company's development efforts under this agreement are on a "best efforts"
basis, and there is no obligation for the Company to repay amounts received
under the agreement if the development effort is not successful. Accordingly,
Microsoft bears the risk of the development effort and will own the resulting
technology and/or products developed under the agreement. Under the terms of the
agreement, the Company is allowed to market any developed add-on products to the
Windows NT installed customer base in exchange for paying Microsoft a royalty
fee, the aggregate of which is not to exceed $5.0 million. Such royalties become
payable if the Company is successful in its development effort. The Company is
accounting for this arrangement in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 68, "Research and Development Arrangements" (SFAS No.
68) using the percentage of completion method. Amounts earned by the Company
under the agreement are recorded as service revenue while costs incurred to
complete the development efforts are recorded as cost of service revenue in the
accompanying Statements of Operations. The Company recognized revenue under this
agreement of approximately $0.5 million in 1996, $3.7 million in 1997 and $0.8
million in 1998, and incurred costs of $0.2 million in 1996, $2.4 million in
1997, and $0.7 million in 1998. Payments received from Microsoft during 1996,
1997 and 1998 were $0.2 million, $2.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
In January 1997 the Company entered into a cross-license and development
arrangement with Sun Microsystems whereby each party granted the other a
royalty-based license to bundle or resell substantially all then-available
products of both companies. Under this arrangement, 5% of each royalty dollar
received by the Company is to be set aside to fund future "best efforts",
non-recurring engineering services to be performed by the Company at the
direction of Sun. Under these NRE projects, the scope of which is mutually
agreed to by both parties, Sun bears the risk of the development effort. In
accordance with SFAS No. 68 the Company has recognized a liability equal to 5%
of each royalty dollar received from Sun under this arrangement. The liability
to Sun as of December 31, 1997 was $174,000. As of December 31, 1998 there was
no liability to Sun.
NOTE 14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS No.
131), in fiscal 1998. SFAS No. 131 supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise"
and establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments.
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which
separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the
chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources
and in assessing performance.
The Company operates in one segment, storage management solutions. The
Company's products and services are sold throughout the world, through direct,
OEM, reseller and distributor channels. The Company's chief operating decision
maker, the chief executive officer, evaluates the performance of the Company
based upon stand-alone revenue of product channels and the geographic regions of
the segment and does not receive discrete financial information about asset
allocation, expense allocation or profitability from the Company's storage
products or services.

NOTE 15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In fiscal 1998 the Company paid $0.8 million in service fees relating to
the potential acquisition of NSMG to Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette (DLJ), a
company affiliated with a director of the Company during 1998. The Company had
no outstanding receivable or payable balance with DLJ at December 31, 1998.
NOTE 16. POTENTIAL ACQUISITIONS
On October 5, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization pursuant to which the Company will acquire the Network and
Storage Management Group business (NSMG) of Seagate Software, Inc. (SSI), a
subsidiary of Seagate Technology, Inc. As part of the Agreement, SSI and certain
holders of options to purchase common stock of SSI will receive common stock and
rights to acquire common stock representing approximately 40% of the combined
company's fully-diluted equity securities.
On September 1, 1998, the Company entered into a Combination Agreement to
acquire TeleBackup Systems Inc., a Canadian corporation. Upon completion,
TeleBackup will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of VERITAS in exchange for the
issuance, to the holders of TeleBackup common shares and TeleBackup options, of
3,110,000 shares of our common stock. The acquisition will be structured to
qualify as a tax-free stock transaction in Canada.
The NSMG and TeleBackup acquisitions will be accounted for by the Company
using the purchase method of accounting. Following consummation of the NSMG and
TeleBackup transactions, the Company currently expects to incur a charge of
approximately $227.5 million per fiscal quarter primarily related to the
amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets over a four-year period.
The Company also expects to incur charges to operations for a one-time write-off
related to in-process research and development costs in the fiscal quarter in
which these transactions are consummated. These charges are currently estimated
to be approximately $103.1 million. Such amounts are preliminary and are subject
to change upon the final determination of the purchase price of both NSMG and
TeleBackup at the time of closing of each transaction. In addition, as a result
of the NSMG acquisition, the Company expects to incur a restructuring charge in
the same fiscal quarter that these transactions are consummated. This one-time
restructuring charge relates primarily to exit costs with respect to duplicate
facilities of the Company, which the Company plans to vacate. The Company
estimates this restructuring charge to be in the range of $8.0 to $11.0 million.
Such costs are in addition to the liability for the estimated costs to

construction of the facility. The leases for land and improvements are
anticipated to be classified as operating leases. The various agreements provide
for minimum lease payments which begin, generally, upon completion of
construction, which is expected to be June 2001, as well as certain residual
value guarantees. Pre development costs incurred by VERITAS were approximately
$1.4 million through March 31, 1999, and were subsequently reimbursed by the
lessor.
Share and per share amounts applicable to prior periods in the consolidated
financial statements have been restated to reflect a 2-for-1 stock split to be
effected in the form of a stock dividend to be distributed on July 8, 1999 to
shareholders of record as of June 18, 1999.
Share amounts reflected in this document have also been adjusted to reflect
the following proposals that were approved at the May 27, 1999 special meeting
of the Company's stockholders:
- To increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from
75,000,000 to 500,000,000.
- To amend the 1993 Employee Stock Purchase plan to increase the number of
shares reserved for issuance from 2,250,000 to 4,000,000.
- To amend the 1993 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares
reserved for issuance from 9,225,000 to 16,000,000.

OVERVIEW OF VERITAS SOFTWARE CORPORATION UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements
consist of the VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 and three months ended March 31,
1999 and the VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as of
March 31, 1999.
The VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements
give effect to the NSMG combination and the TeleBackup combination accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. The VERITAS unaudited pro forma
combined condensed statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998
and three months ended March 31, 1999 assumes the NSMG combination and the
TeleBackup combination took place on January 1, 1998. The VERITAS unaudited pro
forma combined condensed balance sheet assumes the NSMG combination and the
TeleBackup combination took place on March 31, 1999.
The VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations
for the year ended December 31, 1998 combine VERITAS' and TeleBackup's
historical results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 with the
Network & Storage Management Group's twelve months ended January 1, 1999. The
VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 combine VERITAS' and TeleBackup's historical
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 with the Network
& Storage Management Group's three months ended April 2, 1999.
Basis of presentation
The VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements
reflect the NSMG combination and the TeleBackup combination accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting and have been prepared on the basis of
assumptions described in the notes including assumptions relating to the
allocation of the amount of consideration paid, to the assets and liabilities of
the Network & Storage Management Group and TeleBackup based upon preliminary
estimates of their fair value. The actual allocation of the consideration paid
may differ from those assumptions reflected in the VERITAS unaudited pro forma
combined condensed financial statements after valuations and other procedures to
be performed after the closing of the NSMG combination and the TeleBackup
combination are completed. Both the NSMG combination and the TeleBackup
combination closed during the second quarter of 1999.
Charges for in-process research and development
VERITAS recorded charges to income in the second quarter of 1999 related to
in-process research and development of $101.2 million as a result of the NSMG
combination and $1.9 million as a result of the TeleBackup combination.
Restructuring charges
In addition, as a result of the NSMG combination, VERITAS recorded a
restructuring charge of $11.0 million during the second quarter of 1999,
primarily related to exit costs with respect to duplicate facilities of Old
VERITAS which VERITAS plans to vacate. These costs are in addition to the
liability for the estimated costs to vacate facilities of the Network & Storage
Management Group business which will become duplicative upon the closing of the
NSMG combination, which liability will be assumed by VERITAS and included as a
part of the purchase price. The VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed
balance sheet includes the effect of these charges; however, the VERITAS
unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations do not reflect
these charges since they are non-recurring. These charges will be reflected in
VERITAS' consolidated financial statements during the
F-26
<PAGE> 131
second quarter of 1999, the period in which the NSMG combination and TeleBackup
combination were consummated.
The VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the related notes included in this document
and the audited financial statements of VERITAS, the Network & Storage
Management Group and TeleBackup, including the notes to each, that are included
elsewhere in this document. The VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed
financial statements do not necessarily indicate what the actual operating
results or financial position would have been had the NSMG combination and the
TeleBackup combination taken place on January 1, 1998 or March 31, 1999. They
also do not purport to indicate VERITAS' future results of operations or
financial position.

COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION
NSMG combination
The VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements
reflect the contribution of assets and liabilities of the Network & Storage
Management Group and the issuance of 69,148,208 shares of VERITAS common stock
which was based on the average closing price of VERITAS common stock of $45.57
per share for 5 days before and after June 7, 1999, the measurement date for the
transaction. In addition VERITAS issued options to purchase VERITAS shares, of
which 2,942,640 options were vested and 4,002,408 options were unvested. The
value of the options to be issued by VERITAS in exchange for the Seagate
Software options was determined by estimating their fair value as of May 28,
1999 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions:
- risk free interest rate of 5.15%;
- dividend yield of 0.0%;
- expected option life of 0.5 years for vested options;
- expected option life of 3.0 years for unvested options; and
- volatility factor of the expected market price of VERITAS common stock of
0.65.
The NSMG combination will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.
TeleBackup combination
The VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements
also reflect the issuance of 3,041,242 shares for the outstanding equity
interest of TeleBackup based on the capitalization of VERITAS and TeleBackup as
of June 1, 1999 and the average closing price of VERITAS common stock of $44.09
per share for 5 days before and after June 1, 1999, the closing date of the
transaction. In addition, TeleBackup's outstanding options at the closing date
were exchanged for options to purchase VERITAS shares. As of June 1, 1999,
outstanding options to purchase 259,800 shares of TeleBackup common stock were
exchanged for options to purchase 68,759 shares of VERITAS common stock, of
which all the options are vested. The value of the options issued by VERITAS in
the exchange for the TeleBackup options, was determined by estimating their fair
value as of June 1, 1999 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions:
- risk-free interest rate of 5.15%;
- dividend yield of 0.0%;
- expected option life of 0.5 years; and
- volatility factor of the expected market price of VERITAS common stock of
0.65.
The TeleBackup combination will be accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting.
The VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements
have been prepared on the basis of assumptions relating to the allocation of the
amount of consideration paid, to the assets and liabilities of the Network &
Storage Management Group business and TeleBackup based on preliminary estimates
of their fair value. The actual allocation of the amount such consideration may
differ from that reflected in the VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed
financial statements after valuations and other procedures to be performed after
the closing of the NSMG combination and the TeleBackup combination have been
completed. Below is a table of the estimated

Tangible net assets of the Network & Storage Management Group business
acquired principally include cash, accounts receivable, fixed assets and other
current assets. Liabilities assumed principally include accounts payable,
accrued compensation and other current liabilities.
The tangible net assets of TeleBackup acquired principally include cash and
fixed assets. Liabilities assumed principally include convertible debentures and
other non-current liabilities.
To determine the value of the developed technology, the expected future
cash flows attributable to all existing technology was discounted, taking into
account risks related to the characteristics and applications of the technology,
existing and future markets, and assessments of the life cycle stage of the
technology. The analysis resulted in a valuation for developed technology which
had reached technological feasibility and therefore was capitalizable. The
developed technology is being amortized on the straight-line basis over its
estimated useful life of four years which is expected to exceed the ratio of
current revenues to the total of current and anticipated revenues.
The value of the distribution channels and original equipment manufacturer
agreements was determined by considering, among other factors, the size of the
current and potential future customer bases, the quality of existing
relationships with customers, the historical costs to develop customer
relationships, the expected income and associated risks. Associated risks
included the inherent difficulties and uncertainties in transitioning the
business relationships from the acquired entity to VERITAS and risks related to
the viability of and potential changes to future target markets.
The value of trademarks was determined by considering, among other factors,
the assumption that in lieu of ownership of a trademark, a company would be
willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of such
trademark.

The value of the assembled workforce was derived by estimating the costs to
replace the existing employees, including recruiting, hiring, and training costs
for each category of employee.
The value allocated to projects identified as in-process research and
development of the Network & Storage Management Group business and TeleBackup
was charged to expense during the second quarter of 1999 but has not been
reflected in the VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of
operations as it is non-recurring in nature. However, this charge has been
reflected in the VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet.
The write-offs were necessary because the acquired in-process research and
development had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no future
alternative uses. VERITAS expects that the acquired in-process research and
development will be successfully developed, but these products may not achieve
commercial viability.
The nature of the efforts required to develop the purchased in-process
research and development into commercially viable products principally relate to
the completion of all planning, designing, prototyping, verification and testing
activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to
meet its design specifications, including functions, features and technical
performance requirements.
The value of the purchased in-process research and development was
determined by estimating the projected net cash flows related to the products,
including costs to complete the development of the technology and the future
revenues to be earned upon commercialization of the products. These cash flows
were then discounted back to their net present value. The projected net cash
flows from the projects were based on management's estimates of revenues and
operating profits related to the projects.
Management's overview of the in-process projects and the estimates for the
remaining development efforts are described below:
Network & Storage Management Group business products
- Seagate Backup Exec for NT -- Backup Exec(TM) for Windows NT offers a
compatible backup solution for Windows NT environments. Integrated
wizards provide steps through routine operations and a new graphical user
interface simplifies management tasks. Intelligent Disaster Recovery(TM)
automates data recovery with the only point-in-time rapid recovery

- Storage Migrator(TM) -- Storage Migrator is a multi-tier hierarchical
storage management application for Windows NT that delivers enterprise
functionality to client/server environments. The product reduces the
total cost of ownership by proactively managing inactive data, migrating
it from on-line storage, such as disc drives, to near-line devices, such
as optical drives, then finally to archival storage resources, such as
tape devices over user defined periods of time. This product was released
in June 1999.
- Desktop Management Suite(TM) -- Desktop Management Suite is a fully
integrated suite of software solutions including network inventory,
WinLand, software installation, or WinInstall, and software metering, or
WinSmart or Desktop Management Suite centralizes the management of
distributed network desktops by automating tasks such as inventory,
software distribution, application metering, backup and remote control.
Desktop Management Suite reduces the total cost of managing network
desktops and standardizes the administration of desktops across the

Exec is a powerful, simple, scaleable solution for managing the behavior
of heterogeneous networks worldwide from one central location. Manage
Exec automatically monitors, analyzes and reports on Windows NT and
Novell NetWare systems health, establishes profiles of normal server and
application behavior and proactively sends alerts when these policies are
broken. As a result, problems that once may have resulted in catastrophic
failure are now effectively resolved before network users are impacted.
To make this product suitable for enterprise sales, Seagate began
"enterprization." Management estimates the completion and release of
version 6.0 of this product in September 1999.
- NerveCenter(TM) -- NerveCenter is a market leading, rules-based event
management application designed to ensure high levels of network and
application availability. NerveCenter uses graphical network behavior
models to filter through voluminous network messages, identify critical
problems and automatically launch appropriate corrective actions.
NerveCenter is the first end-to-end event management solution across
network devices, applications and UNIX, Windows NT systems. Version 3.7
was under development at the Network & Storage Management Group which
would provide a basis for a storage area network management solution.
Management estimates the completion and release of version 3.7 in
September 1999.
- Policy Exec(TM) version 1.0 -- Policy Exec is a policy management system
that creates policies according to goals, completely automates storage
management tasks, and provides fault isolation and automated corrective
action. Management estimates the completion and release of this product
in October 1999.

Exec offers centralized management, high replication performance, minimal
system overhead, both real-time and schedule-based replication, and
selectable bandwidth usage. Replicate remote data to a central site for
centralized backup, offload backup from production servers for 24x7
operations, or distribute information to any number of servers on the
local area network or wide area network from a central site. In August
1998, the Network & Storage Management Group business released the first
version of this product. However, this version does not have sufficient
features to serve the enterprise customer. A next release version 2.0 was
under development at the Network & Storage Management Group business to
add these required features. Management estimates the completion and
release of version 2.0 of this product in December 1999.
TeleBackup was founded in 1995 to further the development of remote backup
technology. TeleBackup is an information technology company that is developing
dynamic software that allows corporations and end-users to backup their data
remotely. TeleBackup's software initiates all backups automatically with no
required intervention by the user. It also safeguards against disaster by
storing the data at an offsite location. TeleBackup's unique features make the
process of backing up large amounts of data significantly faster than any other
known technology using standard modems.
TeleBackup products
- TSInfoPro 2.05 -- TSInfoPro is a new system for eliminating data loss
designed to support Microsoft Windows 98. Features include enhanced
compact disc disaster recovery, improved querying, open file manger, and
encryption. Management estimates the completion and release of this
product in August 1999.
- TSInfoPro 3.00 -- An improved system for eliminating data loss with a
graphical user interface. Features include increased bandwidth,
redesigned client and server interfaces, file processing, and
administrative applications. Significant development efforts were begun
and TeleBackup including, creating a larger bandwith, a major redesign of
the graphical user interface and changing 90% of the server to be
available for NT. Management estimates the completion and release of this
product in April 2000.
Some of the potential risks involved in completing the development for the
TeleBackup releases include, but are not limited to the following. The user
interface development could be expensive due to the options and technologies
needed in identifying the target customer. In addition, the hierarchical storage
management and NetBackup will likely need some more modification to run or work
well together.
The server product is not quite available for NT, but is expected to be
soon, and the admin. station for NT is in the beginning phase of several phases.
Research and development effort
The Network & Storage Management Group business estimates approximately
$6.0 million to complete the development of the identified in-process projects
that are being acquired by VERITAS. TeleBackup estimates approximately $630,000
to complete the development of the identified in-process
F-36
<PAGE> 141
NOTES TO VERITAS UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
1. BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
projects that are being acquired. The Network & Storage Management Group's and
TeleBackup's research and development expenditure forecasts include, but are not
limited to:
- technology coding;
- feasibility tests;
- platform integration; and
- alpha and beta testing.
Due to the fact that the transactions have only recently been consummated,
the calculations are preliminary. Therefore, more information will be
forthcoming as the analysis is completed of the in-process research and
development acquired at the Network & Storage Management Group and TeleBackup.
Factors that could affect analysis.
The following factors have the potential to affect analysis:
- the effect of the uncertainty surrounding the successful development of
the in-process research and development products is one of the many
factors that comprise the selected discount rate;
- there is risk associated with the revenue of all of the identified
in-process research and development projects. The expected benefit from
the in-process research and development projects is expected to occur at
the release dates for each of the projects discussed previously; and
- if any of the estimates for release dates, product life cycle, or product
revenue are different, then there may be an impact on the future results
of the company.
Goodwill is determined based on the residual difference between the amount
paid and the values assigned to identified tangible and intangible assets.
2. PRO FORMA NET LOSS PER SHARE
The VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations
have been prepared as if the NSMG combination and the TeleBackup combination had
occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma basic and
diluted net loss per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of
VERITAS common stock outstanding during each period and the number of shares of
VERITAS common stock to be issued in connection with the NSMG combination and
the TeleBackup combination. The following options and other potential common
securities, based upon the options outstanding as of the periods presented and
closing price of VERITAS common stock as of the

3. CONVERSION OF TELEBACKUP TO U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
AND US$
The financial statements for TeleBackup which were prepared in accordance
with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles have been conformed to
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for purposes of including them in
the VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements. None of
the adjustments necessary to conform the TeleBackup financial statements to U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles were material to either the historical
financial statements of TeleBackup or the VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined
condensed financial statements. The balance sheet and statements of operations
for TeleBackup were translated to U.S. dollars using average exchange rates for
the VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations and
period-end and historical exchange rates for the VERITAS unaudited pro forma
combined condensed balance sheet, as applicable.
4. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
The VERITAS unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements
give effect to the following pro forma adjustments:
(1) To state the assets and liabilities of the Network Storage &
Management Group business at their fair values.
(2) To reclassify certain customer support costs of the Network & Storage
Management Group business to cost of revenues to conform to VERITAS'
presentation.
(3) To reflect the accrual of acquisition costs arising from the NSMG
combination, estimated to be approximately $31.7 million consisting of:

financial advisory services, legal, accounting and government filing
fees;
- $8.2 million for operating lease commitments on sales and
administrative facilities of the Network & Storage Management Group
business that become duplicative and will be vacated. The costs
accrued represent operating lease obligations from the date the
facilities are expected to be vacated through the end of the lease
term, net of any anticipated sublease payments. VERITAS expects that
all duplicate facilities will be vacated within
F-38

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Seagate Software, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Network &
Storage Management Group, a division of Seagate Software, Inc., as of July 3,
1998 and June 27, 1997, and the related combined statements of operations, group
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 3,
1998. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Network
& Storage Management Group at July 3, 1998 and June 27, 1997, and the combined
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended July 3, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As discussed more fully in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
footnote, the Network & Storage Management Group has modified the methods used
to assess impairment of goodwill and, accordingly, has restated the consolidated
financial statements for the fiscal years ended July 3, 1998 and June 27, 1997
to reflect this change.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of business. The Network & Storage Management Group ("NSMG" or
the "Network & Storage Management Group") develops and markets software products
and provides related services enabling information technology ("IT")
professionals to manage distributed network resources and to secure and protect
enterprise data. The Network & Storage Management Group operates in a single
industry segment, and its products offer features such as system backup,
disaster recovery, migration, replication, automated client protection, storage
resource management, scheduling, event correlation and desktop management.
The Network & Storage Management Group is an operating division of Seagate
Software, Inc. ("Seagate Software"), which is a majority-owned and consolidated
subsidiary of Seagate Technology, Inc. ("Seagate Technology"), a data technology
company that provides products for storing, managing and accessing digital
information on computer systems. Seagate Software is headquartered in Scotts
Valley, California and has 49 offices and operations in 18 countries worldwide.
Restatement of Financial Statements. The Network & Storage Management Group
had previously allocated a portion of goodwill to developed technology and
evaluated the impairment of goodwill based on the revenues from the related
software. Using this method, the Network & Storage Management Group recorded
write-downs and write-offs of goodwill in fiscal 1997 in the amount of
$10,259,000. The Network & Storage Management Group has re-evaluated its
methodology and determined that goodwill should not be allocated to developed
technology under Accounting Principles Board Opinion 17, "Intangible Assets." As
a result, the Network & Storage Management Group has made adjustments to
decrease the amounts of goodwill previously written-down and written-off from
$10,259,000 to $6,173,000 in fiscal 1997. The additional goodwill of $4,086,000
is being amortized over the remaining estimated useful lives of approximately 5
years.
The effect of this adjustment on previously reported combined financial
statements as of and for the years ended July 3, 1998 and June 27, 1997 is as
follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Basis of presentation. These financial statements have been prepared using
the historical basis of accounting and are presented as if the Network & Storage
Management Group had existed as an entity separate from Seagate Software and
Seagate Technology during the periods presented. These financial statements
include the historical assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that are
directly related to the Network & Storage Management Group's operations. For
certain assets and liabilities of Seagate Software that are not specifically
identifiable with the Network & Storage Management Group, estimates have been
used to allocate such assets and liabilities to the Network & Storage Management
Group by applying methodologies management believes are appropriate.
The unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements presented have
been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited consolidated financial
statements, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The statements of operations include all revenues and costs attributable to
the Network & Storage Management Group, including allocations of certain
corporate administration, finance, and management costs. Such costs were
proportionately allocated to the Network & Storage Management Group based on
detailed inquiries and estimates of time incurred by Seagate Software's
corporate marketing and general and administrative departmental managers. In
addition, certain of Seagate Software's operations are shared locations
involving activities that pertain to the Network & Storage Management Group as
well as to other businesses of Seagate Software. Costs incurred in shared
locations are allocated based on specific identification, or where specific
identification is not possible, such costs are allocated between the Network &
Storage Management Group and other businesses of Seagate Software using
methodologies that management believes are reasonable. Transactions and balances
between entities and locations within the Network & Storage Management Group
have been eliminated.
From August 1994 to June 1996, Seagate Technology acquired seven software
companies that were engaged in developing and marketing network and/or storage
management software products. In addition, in February 1996, Seagate Technology
merged with Conner Peripherals, Inc. ("Conner") in a transaction accounted for
as a pooling-of-interests. In connection with the merger, Seagate Technology
purchased the outstanding minority interests in Conner's storage management
software operations under Arcada Holdings, Inc. ("Arcada"). Also, in June 1998,
the Network & Storage Management Group acquired Eastman Software for $10,000,000
in cash. The amount of capital contributed by Seagate Technology for
acquisitions is determined by the amounts paid for such acquisitions by Seagate
Technology on behalf of the Network & Storage Management Group. The accompanying
financial
F-47
<PAGE> 152
NETWORK & STORAGE MANAGEMENT GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
statements present the combined results of operations of the acquired companies
from the dates of acquisition.
The Network & Storage Management Group operates and reports financial
results on a fiscal year of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to June
30. Accordingly, fiscal 1996 ended on June 28, 1996, fiscal 1997 ended on June
27, 1997, and fiscal 1998 ended on July 3, 1998. Fiscal years 1996 and 1997 were
comprised of 52 weeks, and fiscal 1998 was comprised of 53 weeks. Fiscal 1999
will be a 52-week year and will end on July 2, 1999. All references to years in
the notes to combined financial statements represent fiscal years unless
otherwise noted.
Arcada, which was acquired by the Network & Storage Management Group
pursuant to Seagate Technology's merger with Conner, had a fiscal year that
ended on the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly, Arcada's statement of
operations for the year ended December 30, 1995 has been combined with the
Network & Storage Management Group's statement of operations for the year ended
June 30, 1995. In order to conform Arcada's fiscal year end to the Network &
Storage Management Group's fiscal year end, the Network & Storage Management
Group's combined statement of operations for the year ended June 28, 1996
includes six months (July 1, 1995 through December 30, 1995) for Arcada which
are also included in the Network & Storage Management Group's combined statement
of operations for the year ended June 30, 1995.
Economic dependence on Seagate Technology. The Network & Storage Management
Group incurred net losses of $94,596,000 and $33,200,000 during 1996 and 1997,
respectively, and had a working capital deficit of $12,690,000 at July 3, 1998.
On July 4, 1998, Seagate Software and Seagate Technology renewed the Revolving
Loan Agreement on substantially the same terms and conditions as the prior
agreement that was dated June 28, 1996. Under the Revolving Loan Agreement,
Seagate Technology finances certain of Seagate Software's working capital needs.
The Revolving Loan Agreement provides for maximum outstanding borrowings of up
to $60,000,000 and is renewable every two years. Outstanding borrowings by the
Network & Storage Management Group from Seagate Technology and affiliates were
$25,616,000 and $10,636,000 at June 27, 1997 and July 3, 1998, respectively and
a net receivable of $42,111,000 (unaudited) at April 2, 1999. Borrowings from
Seagate Technology consist primarily of amounts used to fund the Network &
Storage Management Group's operating activities. A net receivable position
existed as of April 2, 1999 primarily due to an increase in loan repayments to
Seagate Technology resulting from an increase in cash generated from operations.
The loan balance is offset and presented on the balance sheet as a net
receivable or net payable in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.
Beginning in fiscal 1999, the Network & Storage Management Group will pay
interest at the LIBOR rate plus 2% per annum on such borrowings; the Network &
Storage Management Group previously paid interest at 6%. Interest expense as
presented in the statement of operations primarily relates to interest incurred
under the Revolving Loan Agreement.
The Network & Storage Management Group and Seagate Software are
economically dependent on Seagate Technology and believe that to the extent
future cash flows from operations and borrowings under the existing loan
agreement with Seagate Technology are not sufficient to fund the Network &
Storage Management Group's working capital deficit and planned activities during
the next 12 months, that additional funding will be available at a reasonable
cost from Seagate Technology.
Accounting estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from
those estimates.
F-48
<PAGE> 153
NETWORK & STORAGE MANAGEMENT GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Concentration of credit risk. Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Network & Storage Management Group to significant concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Network &
Storage Management Group places its cash and cash equivalents in high credit
quality financial institutions. Accounts receivable are derived from revenues
earned from customers primarily located in North America. The Network & Storage
Management Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and
generally does not require collateral. The Network & Storage Management Group
maintains reserves for potential credit losses and historically such losses have
been immaterial. Revenue from one third-party customer, Ingram Micro, accounted
for 17%, 22% and 27% of the Network & Storage Management Group's total revenues
in 1996, 1997 and 1998, and 28% (unaudited) in the nine months ended April 3,
1998 and 28% (unaudited) in the nine months ended April 2, 1999. Revenue from
another third-party customer, Tech Data, accounted for 12% of the Network &
Storage Management Group's total revenues in 1998.
Foreign currency translation. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency
for all of the Network & Storage Management Group's foreign operations. Gains
and losses on the remeasurement into U.S. dollars of amounts denominated in
foreign currencies are included in net income.
Earnings per share. The Network & Storage Management Group is a division of
Seagate Software and has no formal capital structure. Accordingly, earnings per
share information is not presented.
Cash management. Seagate Technology uses a centralized cash management
function for all of its domestic operations, including domestic operations of
the Network & Storage Management Group.
Cash and cash equivalents. The Network & Storage Management Group considers
all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at
the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Network & Storage Management
Group typically uses available cash in excess of amounts required for operating
activities to pay amounts due under the Revolving Loan Agreement. Accordingly,
the Network & Storage Management Group has not had significant cash equivalents
to date.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first
out method) or market, and consist primarily of materials used in software
products, related supplies and packaging materials.
Equipment and leasehold improvements. Equipment and leasehold improvements
are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two to five years.
Assets under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized using the
straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the
assets or the remaining lease term.
Goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the
purchase price of acquired companies over the estimated fair values of tangible
and intangible net assets acquired. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line
basis over five to seven years. The carrying values of long-term assets and
intangibles other than developed technology ("other intangibles") are reviewed
if facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired. If this review
indicates that carrying values of long-term assets and other intangibles and
associated goodwill will not be recoverable based on projected undiscounted
future cash flows, carrying values are reduced to estimated fair values by first
reducing goodwill and second by reducing long-term assets and other intangibles.
Other intangible assets consist of trademarks, assembled workforces,
distribution networks, developed technology, customer bases, and covenants not
to compete related to acquisitions accounted for by the purchase method. See
Note on Business Combinations and Acquisitions. Amortization of purchased
intangibles, other than acquired developed technology, is provided on the
straight-line basis over the
F-49
<PAGE> 154
NETWORK & STORAGE MANAGEMENT GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
respective useful lives of the assets ranging from 36 to 60 months for
trademarks, 24 to 48 months for assembled workforces and distribution networks,
12 to 36 months for customer bases and 18 to 24 months for covenants not to
compete. In-process research and development without alternative future use is
expensed when acquired.
Developed technology and capitalized software development costs. The
Network & Storage Management Group applies Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 86 ("SFAS 86"), "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to
Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed", to software technologies developed
internally, acquired in business acquisitions, and purchased.
Internal development costs are included in research and development and are
expensed as incurred. SFAS 86 requires the capitalization of certain internal
development costs once technological feasibility is established, which based on
the Network & Storage Management Group's development process generally occurs
upon the completion of a working model. As the time period between the
completion of a working model and the general availability of software has been
short, capitalization of internal development costs has not been material to
date. Capitalized costs are amortized based on the greater of the straight-line
basis over the estimated product life (generally 30 to 48 months) or the ratio
of current revenues to the total of current and anticipated future revenues.
Purchased developed technology, including developed technology acquired in
business acquisitions, is amortized based on the greater of the straight-line
basis over the estimated useful life (30 to 48 months) or the ratio of current
revenues to the total of current and anticipated future revenues. The
recoverability of the carrying value of purchased developed technology and
associated goodwill is reviewed periodically. The carrying value of developed
technology is compared to the estimated future gross revenues from that product
reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and disposing of that
product, including the costs of performing maintenance and customer support (net
undiscounted cash flows) and to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the
undiscounted cash flows the difference is written off. If the developed
technology was acquired in a business combination the carrying value of any
related goodwill is also compared to the estimated net discounted cash flows
less the carrying value of the developed technology and if the carrying value of
the goodwill exceeds the net undiscounted cash flows the difference is written
off.
Fair value disclosures. The Network & Storage Management Group maintains
its cash principally with major banks in interest- and non-interest-bearing bank
accounts. There are no realized or unrealized gains or losses and fair value
approximates carrying value for all cash balances.
Pushdown and carveout accounting. Seagate Technology has provided
substantial services to Seagate Software, including general management,
treasury, tax, financial reporting, benefits administration, insurance,
information technology, legal, accounts payable and receivable and credit
functions. Seagate Technology has charged Seagate Software for these services
through corporate expense allocations, and such expenses in turn have been
reallocated by Seagate Software to the Network & Storage Management Group and to
the other businesses of Seagate Software. The amount of corporate expense
allocations is dependent upon the total amount of allocable costs incurred by
Seagate Technology on behalf of Seagate Software and the Network & Storage
Management Group less amounts charged as a specific cost or expense rather than
by allocation. Included in the Network & Storage Management Group's general and
administrative expenses are Seagate Technology allocation charges of $1,771,000,
$1,462,000 and $730,000 for 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively and $525,000
(unaudited) and $387,000 (unaudited) for the nine months ended April 3, 1998 and
April 2, 1999, respectively. Included in sales and marketing expenses are
Seagate Technology allocation charges of
F-50
<PAGE> 155
NETWORK & STORAGE MANAGEMENT GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
$14,000, $12,000 and $462,000 for 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively and $459,000
(unaudited) and $216,000 (unaudited) for the nine months ended April 3, 1998 and
April 2, 1999, respectively. The increase in sales and marketing expenses in
1998 was due to proportional cost allocations from Seagate Technology's
corporate branding program, which consisted of television and newspaper
advertisements.
The Network & Storage Management Group's employees participated in Seagate
Technology's profit sharing plan through the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and in
Seagate Technology's management bonus plan during 1997. The Network & Storage
Management Group has since adopted its own bonus plan. Compensation expenses
recorded by the Network & Storage Management Group under Seagate Technology's
plans totaled $700,000, $2,664,000 and $0 for 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
The employees of the Network & Storage Management Group also participate in
Seagate Technology Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"). The
Purchase Plan permits eligible employees who have completed thirty days of
employment prior to the inception of the offering period to purchase common
stock of Seagate Technology through payroll deductions at the lower of 85% of
the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning or at the end of each
six-month offering period. Under the plan, approximately 34,500, 71,200 and
75,700 shares of common stock of Seagate Technology were issued to the Network &
Storage Management Group's employees in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
The U.S. employees of the Network & Storage Management Group also
participate in the Seagate Technology tax-deferred savings plan, the Seagate
Technology, Inc. Savings and Investment Plan (the "401(k) plan"). The 401(k)
plan is designed to provide qualified employees with an accumulation of funds at
retirement. Qualified employees may elect to make contributions to the 401(k)
plan on a monthly basis. The Network & Storage Management Group may make annual
contributions to the 401(k) plan at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Network & Storage Management Group contributions were immaterial in fiscal years
1996 and 1997 and were $560,000 in fiscal year 1998.
Revenue recognition. During fiscal 1998 and prior, the Network & Storage
Management Group recognized revenue in accordance with the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 91-1, "Software Revenue
Recognition". The Network & Storage Management Group's total revenues are
derived from license revenues for its various software products as well as
maintenance, support, training and consulting. Revenues for maintenance, support
services, training and consulting are recognized separately from software
licenses. License revenues are recognized upon delivery of the product if no
significant vendor obligations remain and collection of the resulting receivable
is probable. Allowances for estimated future returns are provided upon shipment.
Maintenance and support revenues consist of ongoing support and product updates
and are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, which is typically
twelve months. Revenues from training and consulting are recognized when the
services are performed.
Revenues from resellers, including VARs, OEMs, distributors and Seagate
Technology, are primarily recognized at the time of product delivery to the
reseller. The Company's policy is to defer such revenues if resale contingencies
exist. Factors considered in the determination of whether such contingencies
exist include, but are not limited to, payment terms, collectibility and past
history with the customer.
Product returns are reserved for in accordance with SFAS 48. Such returns
are estimated based on historical return rates. The Company considers other
factors such as fixed and determinable fees, resale contingencies, arms length
contract terms and the ability to reasonably estimate returns to ensure
compliance with SFAS 48. Additionally, the Network and Storage Management Group
continually
F-51
<PAGE> 156
NETWORK & STORAGE MANAGEMENT GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
reviews its estimated product return provisions to ensure that they are
reasonable in relation to actual product returns, which are quantified based on
approved return authorization forms received prior to fiscal cutoff dates.
Historically, the Network and Storage Management Group's estimated product
return rates have not varied materially from actual product return rates.
In October 1997 and March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants issued Statements of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition"
("SOP 97-2") and 98-4, "Deferral of the Effective Date of a Provision of SOP
97-2, Software Revenue Recognition" ("SOP 98-4"). SOP 97-2 and SOP 98-4 provide
guidance on recognizing revenue on software transactions and supersede SOP 91-1.
The Network & Storage Management Group has assessed the impact of the
requirements of SOP 97-2 and SOP 98-4 and has changed certain of its policies
and procedures. The Network & Storage Management Group's adoption of SOP 97-2
and SOP 98-4 for transactions entered into after July 3, 1998 did not have a
significant impact on revenues or results of operations for the first nine
months of fiscal 1999.
Advertising expense. The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. The
Network & Storage Management Group does not incur any direct response
advertising costs. Advertising costs totaled $13,914,000, $18,571,000 and
$12,358,000 in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
Accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are summarized below, in

$800,000, $531,000 and $3,674,000 in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The
write-down in fiscal 1998 was a result of consolidating Seagate Software's
fulfillment warehouses and changing their strategy to have fulfillment
activities handled by an outsourcing partner. As a result of this consolidation
excess and obsolete components and finished goods were written down. The
write-down in fiscal 1997 and 1996 related to excess and obsolete components and
finished goods inventory.

</TABLE>
Amortization of developed technologies is included in costs of revenues. In
1996, 1997 and 1998 amortization expense for goodwill and other intangibles
includes write-offs and write-downs to the estimated fair value of $2,157,000,
$6,173,000 and $1,900,000, respectively. In 1997 the amortization of acquired
developed technologies included in cost of revenues includes write-downs and
write-offs to net realizable value of $6,918,000.
Periodically, the Network & Storage Management Group reviews the carrying
value of its intangibles other than developed technology to ascertain if there
has been any impairment. In 1996, the former owner of Frye Computer Systems,
Inc. (a 1995 acquisition) and its original founder, Mr. Frye, left the Network &
Storage Management Group. With his departure, the Network & Storage Management
Group decided to release Mr. Frye from the remaining period of his covenant not
to compete and to not use the Frye name trademark in future products. As a
result, the remaining carrying value of the covenant not to compete and
trademark and associated goodwill totalling $2,157,000 were written off.
The Network & Storage Management Group also periodically reviews the net
realizable value of developed technology under the guidance of SFAS No. 86. The
Network & Storage Management Group compares the estimated undiscounted future
cash flows on a product by product basis to the unamortized cost of developed
technology. Unamortized costs in excess of the estimated undiscounted cash flows
are written off. The impairment write-offs for developed technology recorded in
1997 were caused by a number of factors including the Network & Storage
Management Group's decision to stop selling products or technologies such as
DOS, new acquisitions, or new product designs. The Network & Storage Management
Group is not currently generating revenue from any products for which the
related developed technology has been impaired.
In addition, the Network & Storage Management Group assesses the impairment
of goodwill not within the scope of SFAS 121 under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets" (APB 17). During 1997, the Network & Storage
Management Group wrote-off and wrote-down goodwill amounting to $6,173,000. The
write-offs and write-downs related to the decision to abandon and stop selling
all current and future products acquired from Frye Computer Systems, Inc., the
decision to
F-53

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
abandon and stop selling virtually all current and future products acquired in
the acquisition of Palindrome Corporation, and the decision to close down and
sell Calypso Software Systems, Inc.
The Network & Storage Management Group has capitalized the assembled
workforce in most of its acquisitions. When the Network & Storage Management
Group reviews the carrying value of its intangibles, if there remains less than
5% of the original workforce the related intangible is deemed impaired. In 1998,
the Network & Storage Management Group wrote off the workforces and associated
goodwill for three previous acquisitions, Network Computing, Inc., Netlabs,
Inc., and Creative Interaction Technologies, Inc. because less than 5% of the
original workforce remained.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Network & Storage Management Group intends to adopt Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS
130"), and No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" ("SFAS 131") during fiscal 1999. Both standards will require
additional disclosure, but will not have a material effect on the Network &
Storage Management Group's financial position or results of operations. SFAS 130
establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income,
including net income and items that are currently reported directly as a
component of stockholders' equity such as changes in foreign currency
translation adjustments and changes in the fair value of available-for-sale
financial instruments. SFAS 131 changes the way companies report segment
information and requires segments to be determined based on how management
measures performance and makes decisions about allocating resources. The Network
&
F-54
<PAGE> 159
NETWORK & STORAGE MANAGEMENT GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Storage Management Group has not provided the disclosures related to SFAS 130
for the nine month periods ended April 3, 1998 and April 2, 1999, as these
amounts are immaterial.
In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"). SOP 98-1 provides
guidance on capitalization of the costs incurred for computer software developed
or obtained for internal use. It also provides guidance for determining whether
computer software is internal-use software and on accounting for the proceeds of
computer software originally developed or obtained for internal use and then
subsequently sold to the public. The Network & Storage Management Group has not
yet determined the impact, if any, of adopting this statement. The disclosures
prescribed by SOP 98-1 will be effective for the Network & Storage Management
Group's combined financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000.
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS
133"). This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It requires that derivatives
be recognized in the balance sheet at fair value and specifies the accounting
for changes in fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS 137, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 133" to defer the effective date of SFAS 133 until
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Network & Storage Management
Group generally does not use derivative financial instruments and the impact of
SFAS 133 is not anticipated to be material when adopted.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ACQUISITIONS
The Network & Storage Management Group has a history of acquisitions and
during the three most recent fiscal years acquired Arcada Holdings, Inc.,
Calypso Software Systems, Inc., OnDemand Software, Inc. and Sytron Corporation
in 1996, made no acquisitions in 1997, and acquired Eastman Software Storage
Management Group, Inc. in 1998.
In accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion 16, all identifiable
assets, including identifiable intangible assets, were assigned a portion of the
cost of the acquired enterprise (purchase price) on the basis of their
respective fair values. This included the portion of the purchase price properly
attributed to incomplete research and development projects that should be
expensed according to the requirements of Interpretation 4 of SFAS No. 2.
Valuation of acquired intangible assets. To determine the value of
developed technologies, the expected future cash flows of existing product and
core technologies were evaluated, taking into account risks related to the
characteristics and applications of each product, existing and future markets
and assessments of the life cycle stage of each product. Based on this analysis,
the existing technologies that had reached technological feasibility were
capitalized.
To determine the value of in-process research and development, the Network
& Storage Management Group considered, among other factors, the state of
development of each project, the time and cost needed to complete each project,
expected income, associated risks which included the inherent difficulties and
uncertainties in completing each project and thereby achieving technological
feasibility and risks related to the viability of and potential changes to
future target markets. This analysis resulted in amounts assigned to in-process
research and development for projects that had not yet reached technological
feasibility and which did not have alternative future uses. The Income Approach,
which includes analysis of markets, cash flows, and risks associated with
achieving such cash flows, was the primary technique utilized in valuing each
in-process research and development project. The underlying
F-55
<PAGE> 160
NETWORK & STORAGE MANAGEMENT GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
in-process projects acquired were the most significant and uncertain assumptions
utilized in the valuation analysis of in-process research & development
projects.
To determine the value of developed technologies, the expected future cash
flows of existing product technologies were evaluated, taking into account risks
related to the characteristics and applications of each product, existing and
future markets and assessments of the life cycle stage of each product. Based on
this analysis, the existing technologies that had reached technological
feasibility were capitalized.
To determine the value of the distribution networks and customer bases, the
Network & Storage Management Group considered, among other factors, the size of
the current and potential future customer bases, the quality of existing
relationships with customers, the historical costs to develop customer
relationships, the expected income and associated risks. Associated risks
included the inherent difficulties and uncertainties in transitioning the
business relationships from the acquired entity to the Network & Storage
Management Group and risks related to the viability of and potential changes to
future target markets.
To determine the value of trademarks, the Network & Storage Management
Group considered, among other factors, the assumption that in lieu of ownership
of a trademark, the Network & Storage Management Group would be willing to pay a
royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of such trademark.
To determine the value of assembled workforces, the Network & Storage
Management Group considered, among other factors, the costs to replace existing
employees including search costs, interview costs and training costs.
Goodwill is determined based on the residual difference between the amount
paid and the values assigned to identified tangible and intangible assets. If
the values assigned to identified tangible and intangible assets exceed the
amounts paid, including the effect of deferred taxes, the values assigned to
long-term assets were reduced proportionally.
Acquisition of Sytron Corporation. In July 1995, Arcada Software, Inc., a
majority-owned subsidiary of Arcada, acquired the assets and liabilities of
Sytron Corporation, a company that developed, produced and marketed software
products for data storage management. The purchase price of approximately
$5,017,000 was paid in cash. Arcada accounted for the acquisition using the
purchase method, and the results of operations of Sytron are only included in
the Network & Storage Management Group's operations since the acquisition was
completed. The following is a summary of the purchase price allocation, in

In connection with the pooling-of-interests, the Network & Storage
Management Group acquired the then outstanding minority interest of Arcada. The
minority interest was approximately 31% on a fully diluted basis. The
acquisition of the minority interest was accounted for as a purchase and in
connection with the acquisition, Seagate Technology issued 2,553,000 shares of
common stock with a fair market value of approximately $52,009,000 and 1,817,000
options to purchase common stock with a fair market value of approximately
$33,065,000 (aggregate fair value of $85,074,000). The value of the shares of
Seagate Technology common stock issued to shareholders of Arcada was determined
based on the average market price of Seagate Technology's common stock five days
before and five days after October 3, 1995, the date that the terms of the
acquisition were agreed to. The options were issued to employees of Arcada and
Conner, Arcada's parent, in exchange for options of Arcada. The options have a
term of 10 years and vest 1/16 per quarter over 4 years. The value of the
options were based on the intrinsic value of the options, which approximates the
fair value. The following is a summary of the purchase price allocation for the

intentions for future use of the acquired assets, and (iii) analysis of data
available concerning Arcada's products, technologies, markets, historical
financial performance, estimates of future performance and the assumptions
underlying those estimates. The economic and competitive environment in which
the Network & Storage Management Group and Arcada operate was also considered in
the valuation analysis.
Specifically, purchased research and development ("purchased R&D") was
identified and valued through extensive interviews and discussions with the
Network & Storage Management Group and Arcada management and the analysis of
data provided by Arcada concerning Arcada's developmental products their
respective stage of development, the time and resources needed to complete them,
their expected income generating ability, target markets and associated risks.
The Income Approach, which
F-57
<PAGE> 162

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
includes an analysis of the markets, cash flows, and risks associated with
achieving such cash flows, was the primary technique utilized in valuing each
purchased R&D project. A portion of the purchase price was allocated to the
developmental projects based on the appraised fair values of such projects.
DISCUSSION OF IN-PROCESS RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT ONE TIME WRITE-OFF
OVERVIEW
As of the acquisition date, Arcada had spent a significant amount of money
on research and development related to the re-development efforts to add
features and utilities to the Desktop, NetWare and Windows NT products such as
disk grooming, hierarchical storage management, upgraded graphical user
interfaces, file and server replication, and server mirroring in order to
continue to meet increasingly complex user needs.
In accordance with SFAS 86, paragraph 38 ("Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed"), "the cost of
software purchased to be integrated with another product or process will be
capitalized only if technological feasibility was established for the software
component and if all research and development activities for the other
components of the product or process were completed at the time of the
purchase." Although Seagate purchased existing products from Arcada, since the
majority of the original underlying code and base technology for the NetWare and
Windows NT product families was completed in the 1990 time frame, the
technologies, as of the date of valuation, were undergoing significant
re-development.
ASSUMPTIONS
Revenue
Future revenue estimates were generated for the following product families:
(i) Desktop, (ii) NetWare, and (iii) Windows NT. Aggregate revenue for Arcada
products was estimated to be approximately $94 million for the ten and one-half
months ending December 31, 1996. Revenues were estimated to increase to
approximately $161 million and $234 million for calendar years 1997 and 1998
when most of the in-process projects were expected to be complete and shipping.
Thereafter, revenue was estimated to increase at rates ranging from 35% to 40%
for calendar years 1999 through 2002. Revenue estimates were based on (i)
aggregate revenue growth rates for the business as a whole, (ii) individual
product revenues, (iii) growth rates for the storage management software market,
(iv) the aggregate size of the storage management software market, (v)
anticipated product development and introduction schedules, (vi) product sales
cycles, and (vii) the estimated life of a product's underlying technology. The
estimated product development cycle for the new products ranged from 12 to 18
months.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses used in the valuation analysis of Arcada included (i)
cost of goods sold, (ii) general and administrative expense, (iii) selling and
marketing expense, and (iv) research and development expense. In developing
future expense estimates, an evaluation of both Seagate Software and Arcada's
overall business model, specific product results, including both historical and
expected direct expense levels (as appropriate), and an assessment of general
industry metrics was conducted.
Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold, expressed as a percentage of
revenue, for the developed and in-process technologies ranged from approximately
5% to 30% (30% for Desktop, 10% for NetWare, and 5% for Windows NT). The Network
& Storage Management Group's cost of goods sold was 23% for fiscal 1996, 23% for
fiscal 1997, and 13% for fiscal 1998.
F-58
<PAGE> 163
NETWORK & STORAGE MANAGEMENT GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
General and administrative ("G&A") expense. G&A expense, expressed as a
percentage of revenue, for the developed and in-process technologies ranged from
12% in calendar 1996 to 8% in calendar 1998 and beyond.
Selling and marketing ("S&M") expense. S&M expense, expressed as a
percentage of revenue, for the developed and in-process technologies was
estimated to be 30% throughout the estimation period.
Research and development ("R&D") expense. R&D expense consists of the costs
associated with activities undertaken to correct errors or keep products updated
with current information (also referred to as "maintenance" R&D). Maintenance
R&D includes all activities undertaken after a product is available for general
release to customers to correct errors or keep the product updated with current
information. These activities include routine changes and additions. The
maintenance R&D expense was estimated to be 5% of revenue for the developed
technologies and 3% of revenue for the in-process technologies throughout the
estimation period.
In addition, as of the date of acquisition, the Network & Storage
Management Group management anticipated the costs to complete the Desktop,
NetWare, and Windows NT technologies at approximately $6.8 million, $4.5
million, and $7.5 million, respectively. Since the acquisition date, all
projects originally acquired from Arcada were commercially released prior to the
end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.
Effective tax rate
The effective tax rate utilized in the analysis of developed and in-process
technologies was 38%, which reflects Seagate's combined federal and state
statutory income tax rates, exclusive of non-recurring charges at the time of
the acquisition and estimated for future years.
Discount rate
The discount rates selected for Arcada's developed and in-process
technologies were 15% and 17.5% respectively. In the selection of the
appropriate discount rates, consideration was given to (i) the Weighted Average
Cost of Capital (approximately 13% to 15% at the date of acquisition) of its
parent, Seagate Technology, Inc. and (ii) the Weighted Average Return on Assets
(approximately 18%). The discount rate utilized for the in-process technology
was determined to be higher than Seagate's WACC due to the fact that the
technology had not yet reached technological feasibility as of the date of
valuation. In utilizing a discount rate greater than Seagate's WACC, management
has reflected the risk premium associated with achieving the forecasted cash
flows associated with these projects.
Acquisition of OnDemand Software, Inc. In March 1996, the Network & Storage
Management Group acquired all of the outstanding shares and stock options of
OnDemand Software, Inc. ("OnDemand"), a company engaged in developing, producing
and marketing WinINSTALL, a product which automates installation, upgrades and
uninstalls of network applications throughout the enterprise. The purchase price
of approximately $13,425,000 was paid in cash. The Network & Storage Management
Group accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method, and the results

OnDemand develops and markets electronic software distribution products
involved in network management in the client/server environment. OnDemand's
flagship product is WinINSTALL. As of the date of acquisition, OnDemand was in
the process of developing the next generation of WinINSTALL Version 6.0. A
significant feature of Version 6.0 (not available by any competitive product)
was a rollback with clone capability, which would allow the user to selectively
return a PC to a previous state upon installation failure or upon user demand.
In order for WinINSTALL Version 6.0 to become a commercially viable product,
OnDemand, as of the valuation date, had undergone or was in the process of
undergoing significant development efforts, including (i) developing rollback
facilities, including clone capability, (ii) expanding global editor to be
included in the WinINSTALL registry file, (iii) improving WinINSTALL Remote to
ease package generation and distribution, (iv) adding a feature that would allow
optional electronic mail notification on installation failure and on
installation refusals due to reaching license limitations, and (v) expanding
copy options and interactive install displays, adding substitution variables,
and allowing version control of backup files.
As of the date of acquisition, Company management anticipated the costs to
complete WinINSTALL Version 6.0 at approximately $920,000. Since the acquisition
date, the acquired in-process research and development from OnDemand has been
completed and the related products have been released prior to the end of fiscal
1997.
Acquisition of Calypso Software Systems, Inc. In May 1996, the Network &
Storage Management Group acquired all of the outstanding shares of Calypso
Software Systems, Inc. ("Calypso"), a company engaged in developing, producing
and marketing software for managing systems and applications in complex,
distributed client/server computer networks. The purchase price of approximately
$13,865,000 was paid in cash. The Network & Storage Management Group accounted
for the acquisition using the purchase method, and the results of operations of

Calypso is a software developer in the enterprise network/system management
market. Calypso provides software which is designed to enable companies to
automate the management of their distributed applications. At the date of
acquisition, Calypso had two main products: Maestro Vision ("Maestro") and
Atrium Extendible Management System ("EMS") for Spectrum. Both existing
products, as of the acquisition date, were planned to be phased out over the
following 24 months. Calypso, at the acquisition date, was in the process of
developing the next generation Atrium EMS product that can be sold stand-alone.
Both Maestro and Atrium EMS for Spectrum were originally designed for use only
on certain system platforms, Cabletron and Spectrum, respectively. However,
Atrium EMS (stand-alone) would allow systems managers on any system platform to
distribute software; monitor CPU, memory, and operating system administration;
manage applications, file systems, and print services; and perform UNIX and NT
system administration.
As of the date of acquisition, Calypso had undergone or was in the process
of undergoing the re-write of code in C+, adding navigator capabilities,
developing web server and browser interoperability, developing CORBA
interoperability, and developing Network OLE/COM interoperability for Atrium EMS
(stand-alone). The estimated cost to complete, at the date of acquisition, was
approximately $750,000. These in process research and development projects were
successfully completed prior to a restructuring of operations in the third
quarter of fiscal 1997. As a result of this restructuring and a change in the
Company's strategic direction, in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 the Company
disposed of all the developed and in process technologies originally acquired
from Calypso.
Acquisition of Eastman Software Storage Management Group, Inc. In June
1998, the Network & Storage Management Group acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock of Eastman Software Storage Management Group, Inc. ("Eastman"), a
company engaged in developing, producing and marketing hierarchical storage
management products for the Windows NT platform. The purchase price of
approximately $10,000,000 was paid in cash. Approximately $6,800,000 of the
total purchase price represented the value of in-process technology that had not
yet reached technological feasibility, had no alternative future uses and was
charged to the Network & Storage Management Group's operations in the quarter
ended July 3, 1998. The Network & Storage Management Group accounted for the
acquisition using the purchase method, and the results of operations of Eastman
are only included in the Network & Storage Management Group's operations since

OVERVIEW
Eastman Software Storage Management Group's two primary products are
OPEN/stor for Windows NT and AvailHSM for NetWare. By integrating Eastman's
product line, the Network & Storage Management Group will be able to convert
their Storage Migrator product into a stand-alone
F-61
<PAGE> 166
NETWORK & STORAGE MANAGEMENT GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
HSM application for Windows NT environments. As of the date of acquisition the
Network & Storage Management Group abandoned the AvailHSM product and technology
due to dated features and functionality; the valuation analysis did not include
a fair value for the AvailHSM product.
As for OPEN/stor at the date of acquisition the Network & Storage
Management Group planned to phase out the product over the following 12 to 15
months. NSMG's purpose for the acquisition was for the next generation
technologies that were underway at Eastman referenced by project names Sakkara
and Phoenix. These projects were complete re-writes of Eastman's prior
generation technology that would allow the product to be sold stand-alone upon
completion.
In accordance with SFAS 86, paragraph 38 ("Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed"), "the cost of
software purchased to be integrated with another product or process will be
capitalized only if technological feasibility was established for the software
component and if all research and development activities for the other
components of the product or process were completed at the time of the
purchase." Although the Network & Storage Management Group purchased existing
products from Eastman, the existing products did not operate on a stand-alone
basis. Therefore, as mentioned above, all of the original underlying code and
base technology for the next generation products were in the process of being
completely re-written as date of valuation.
ASSUMPTIONS
Revenue
Future revenue estimates were generated for the following technologies: (i)
OPEN/stor, (ii) Sakkara, and (iii) Phoenix. Aggregate revenue for existing
Eastman products was estimated to be approximately $167,000 for the one month
ending June 30, 1998. Revenues were estimated to increase to approximately $3.9
million and $7.1 million for fiscal years 1999 and 2000 when most of the
in-process projects were expected to be complete and shipping. Thereafter,
revenue was estimated to increase at rates ranging from 20% to 30% for fiscal
years 2001 through 2006. Revenue estimates were based on (i) aggregate revenue
growth rates for the business as a whole, (ii) individual product revenues,
(iii) growth rates for the storage management software market, (iv) the
aggregate size of the storage management software market, (v) anticipated
product development and introduction schedules, (vi) product sales, cycles, and
(vii) the estimated life of a product's underlying technology.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses used in the valuation analysis of Eastman included (i)
cost of goods sold, (ii) general and administrative expense, (iii) selling and
marketing expense, and (iv) research and development expense. In developing
future expense estimates, an evaluation of both the Network & Storage Management
Group's and Eastman's overall business model, specific product results,
including both historical and expected direct expense levels (as appropriate),
and an assessment of general industry metrics was conducted.
Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold expressed as a percentage of revenue
for the developed and in-process technologies was estimated to be approximately
5% throughout the estimation period. The Network & Storage Management Group's
cost of goods sold was 23% for fiscal 1996 and 23% for fiscal 1997.
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses. G&A expense, expressed as a
percentage of revenue, for the developed and in-process technologies was
estimated to be approximately 10% throughout the estimation period.

technologies at approximately $1.8 million.

The effective tax rate utilized in the analysis of developed and in-process
technologies was 38%, which reflects Seagate Software's combined federal and
state statutory income tax rates, exclusive of non-recurring charges at the time
of the acquisition and estimated for future years.
DISCOUNT RATE
The discount rates selected for Eastman's developed and in-process
technologies were 15% and 20%, respectively. In the selection of the appropriate
discount rates, consideration was given to (i) the Weighted Average Cost of
Capital (approximately 15% at the date of acquisition) and (ii) the Weighted
Average Return on Assets (approximately 18%). The discount rate utilized for the
in-process technology was determined to be higher than Seagate Software's WACC
due to the fact that the technology had not yet reached technological
feasibility as of the date of valuation. In utilizing a discount rate greater
than Seagate Software's WACC, management has reflected the risk premium
associated with achieving the forecasted cash flows associated with these
projects.
STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Seagate Software option plan provides for the issuance of either
incentive or nonstatutory stock options to employees and consultants of Seagate
Software and Seagate Technology. Seagate Software has reserved a total of
12,600,000 shares under the Plan. Options granted under Seagate Software's Plan
are granted at fair market value, expire ten years from the date of the grant
and vest over four years; 20% at the end of years one and two and 30% at the end
of years three and four.
The following table summarizes information about Seagate Software options
outstanding as of July 3, 1998 for employees of the Network & Storage Management

Pro forma information. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123 provides an alternative to
Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("APBO 25") and requires additional disclosures. Seagate Software and
the Network & Storage Management Group have elected to follow APBO 25 in
accounting for stock options granted. Under APBO 25, Seagate Software and the
Network & Storage Management Group generally have not recognized compensation
expense with respect to such options.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by SFAS 123 for stock options granted after June 30, 1995, as if the
Network & Storage Management Group had accounted for Seagate Software stock
options under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of Seagate
Software options granted to Network & Storage Management Group employees was
estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option
valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded
options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In
addition, the Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective
assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Seagate
Software stock options granted to the Network & Storage Management Group's
employees have characteristics significantly different from those of
exchange-traded options (and are not fully transferable) and because changes in
the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate,
in management's opinion, the Black-Scholes model does not necessarily provide a
reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options granted to
employees.
The fair value of Seagate Software stock options granted to the Network &
Storage Management Group's employees was estimated assuming no expected
dividends and the following weighted average assumptions:

The weighted average exercise price and weighted average fair value of
Seagate Software stock options granted to Network & Storage Management Group
employees in 1998 under Seagate Software's Plan were $9.04 and $4.20 per share,
respectively. The weighted average purchase price and weighted average fair
value of shares granted to Networ & Storage Management Group employees in 1998
under Seagate Technology Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") were
$26.99 and $12.03, respectively.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of options
granted to the Network & Storage Management Group's employees is amortized over
the options' vesting period for Seagate Software stock options and over the
six-month purchase period for stock purchases under the Purchase Plan. For
purposes of the determination of pro forma net loss, pro forma expense relating
to stock options under FAS 123 was allocated based on Network & Storage
Management Group headcount as a percentage of total Seagate Software headcount.
The pro forma net loss was $94,846,000, $35,406,000 and $844,000 in 1996, 1997
and 1998, respectively. Because the Network & Storage Management Group does not
have a formal capital structure, pro forma net loss per share is not presented.
The effects on pro forma disclosures of applying SFAS 123 are not likely to
be representative of the effects on pro forma disclosures of future years.
Because SFAS 123 is applicable only to options granted subsequent to June 30,
1995, and Seagate Software did not commence granting stock options for the
purchase of Seagate Software common stock until June 1996, the pro forma effect
will not be fully reflected until 2000.
INCOME TAXES
The Network & Storage Management Group is included in the consolidated
federal and certain combined and consolidated foreign and state income tax
returns of Seagate Technology. Seagate Technology and Seagate Software have
entered into a tax sharing agreement (the "Tax Allocation Agreement") pursuant
to which the Network & Storage Management Group computes hypothetical tax
returns (with certain modifications) as if the Network & Storage Management
Group was not joined in consolidated or combined returns with Seagate
Technology. The Network & Storage Management Group must pay Seagate Technology
the positive amount of any such hypothetical taxes. If the hypothetical tax
returns show entitlement to refunds, including any refunds attributable to a
carryback, then Seagate Technology will pay the Network & Storage Management
Group the amount of such refunds. At the end of fiscal 1996 and 1997, there were
no intercompany tax-related balances outstanding between the Network & Storage
Management Group and Seagate Technology. At the end of fiscal 1998, a $6,958,000
intercompany tax-related balance was due from the Network & Storage Management
Group to Seagate Technology.

A valuation allowance has been provided for the deferred tax assets as of
the end of fiscal 1997 and 1998. Realization of the deferred tax assets is
dependent on future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. In
addition, the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards of acquired
subsidiaries are subject to further limitations on utilization due to the
"change in ownership" provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and the
"separate return limitation year" rules of the federal consolidated return
regulations. Approximately $5,416,000 of the valuation allowance as of July 3,
1998, is attributable to deferred tax assets that when realized will reduce
unamortized goodwill or other intangible assets of the acquired subsidiaries.
The valuation allowance increased by $12,197,000 and $2,942,000 in 1996 and
1997, respectively and decreased by $811,000 in 1998.
As of July 3, 1998, the Network & Storage Management Group has domestic and

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
agreed to sell him a division of the Network & Storage Management Group
business. On May 10, 1999 the plaintiff filed a dismissal with prejudice of all
claims with the Superior Court.
The Network & Storage Management Group business is engaged in various legal
actions arising in the ordinary course of business and believes that the
ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the
Network & Storage Management Group business' financial position, liquidity or
results of operations.
RESTRUCTURING COSTS
Restructuring charges were $9.5 million in fiscal 1996 and $2.5 million in
fiscal 1997. The 1996 restructuring charges pertain to the acquisition of Arcada
Holdings, Inc. in February 1996. As a result of the acquisition, the Network &
Storage Management Group business had obtained duplicate technologies and
product lines in data protection and storage management software as those assets
acquired in the Palindrome Corporation ("Palindrome") acquisition in fiscal
1995. The Network & Storage Management Group determined that it would be
beneficial to consolidate the world-wide sales, marketing, research and
development, technical support and other operations and administrative functions
of its network and storage management business. A restructuring plan was
approved by the Seagate Software Board of Directors in March 1996 and the plan
resulted in facility closures and staff reductions of 43 at the Arcada
facilities in Westboro, Massachusetts, the United Kingdom and France, as well as
staff reductions of 69 at the former Palindrome facility in Naperville,
Illinois. In addition, because Arcada had a better industry reputation and
superior products to those of Palindrome, the Network & Storage Management
Group's plan and strategy going forward was to focus on the technologies and
products acquired from Arcada. The revenue and net operating loss relating to
products acquired from Palindrome for fiscal 1996 was $15.9 million and $2.1
million, respectively. For fiscal 1997, the revenue and net operating loss
relating to products acquired from Palindrome was $3.3 million and $3.7 million,
respectively.
The non-cash restructuring charges included amounts for abandonment of the
Palindrome trademarks, impairment of the capitalized workforce intangible assets
pertaining to the acquisition of Palindrome because of the planned layoff of
personnel, write-off of a duplicate trade show booth, and write-off of obsolete
Palindrome marketing materials. Cash restructuring charges included amounts for
severance and benefits to terminated Palindrome employees, costs for facilities
lease termination, other contract cancellation fees, and merger related costs
incurred by Arcada in the acquisition of the Arcada minority pooling of
interests by Seagate Technology.
The fiscal 1997 restructuring charges netted to $2.5 million, comprised of
a $3.4 million restructuring charge that included the closure of the Network &
Storage Management Group's facility located in Cupertino, California. This
facility closure resulted in cash charges for severance and benefits for 69
employee terminations and non-cash charges for excess facilities and the write
down of equipment. In addition, the $3.4 million included amounts related to the
decision, after concluding a sale was no longer viable, to no longer pursue the
technologies acquired in the fiscal 1996 acquisition of Calypso Software
Systems, Inc. and to shut down its operations. This decision resulted in cash
charges for severance and benefits for 35 employee terminations and non-cash
charges for the write off of certain remaining intangible assets of Calypso. The
revenue and net operating loss relating to products acquired from Calypso for
fiscal 1996 was $444,000 and $53,000, respectively. For fiscal 1997, the revenue
and net operating loss relating to products acquired from Calypso was $640,000
and $47,000, respectively.
The restructuring charges recorded in fiscal 1997 were reduced by $957,000
for the reversal of amounts pertaining to the fiscal 1996 restructuring charges
as a result of a higher than planned number of
F-69

voluntary employee terminations without severance benefits prior to the facility
shutdown and completion of other aspects of the restructuring plan at less than

lease payments due to changes in estimates of the costs to terminate leases
after facilities closure.

The Network & Storage Management Group's remaining restructuring reserves
at April 2, 1999 pertain to continuing lease payments on facilities that were
closed and abandoned as a result of the Palindrome restructuring. The Network &
Storage Management Group has been unable to sublease these facilities and
anticipates that the remaining restructuring reserves will be utilized over the
period through lease termination in fiscal 2002.
The fiscal 1996 restructuring reserve of $9,502,000 was for the following
specific items:
Severance and employee benefits ($1,554,000) -- Severance and employee
benefits included amounts for consolidation of operations and termination of
employees at the Arcada facilities in Westboro, Massachusetts, the United
Kingdom and France, as well as at the former Palindrome facility in Naperville,
Illinois.
Excess facilities ($1,571,000) -- This accrual was designed to provide for
rent termination costs and rent expense for facilities located in Naperville,
Westboro, the United Kingdom and France that are to be closed as a result of the
restructuring actions.
Equipment ($1,018,000) -- This amount is a reserve for equipment at the
Naperville, Westboro, the United Kingdom and France facilities. It consists of
computer equipment, furniture and fixtures and software at these facilities that
will not be used after the locations are closed. All the equipment provided for
in this reserve has been abandoned.
Inventory ($300,000) -- This consists of obsolete packaging material that
will no longer be used and OEM inventory of $80,000 that will no longer be sold.
F-70
<PAGE> 175
NETWORK & STORAGE MANAGEMENT GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Intangibles ($4,312,000) -- This write-off consists of Palindrome
intangible assets of $3,534,000, $390,000 of developed technology related to
Atlas and $388,000 of goodwill related to the Sytron acquisition. The Palindrome
intangible assets were further broken down into trademark of $1,000,000,
workforce of $1,188,000, distribution network of $69,000 and goodwill of
$1,277,000. The Company decided to pursue the Arcada brand name and trade mark
and abandon the Palindrome trademark. As a result, Network & Storage Management
Group business determined that it would lay off substantially all employees (121
employees) of Palindrome located at the Naperville facility. At the time of
original purchase, Network & Storage Management Group business proportionally
allocated goodwill to long-lived intangible assets based upon the original
purchase price. The amounts of goodwill included in the restructuring reserve
relate to the remaining unamortized goodwill associated with the intangible
assets written off.
Contract cancellation ($67,000) -- This $67,000 item is a canceled contract
for outsourced Technical Support with a vendor used by Palindrome.
Legal/Accounting fees ($525,000) -- This $525,000 represents an estimate of
the legal and accounting fees that were to be incurred by Arcada from the
acquisition of Arcada stock by Seagate Technology.
Other ($155,000) -- This represents a trade show booth valued at $100,000
that is redundant and $55,000 for obsolete marketing materials.
The above assets were not impaired in a prior period because their
impairment arose specifically from the restructuring actions taken as a result
of the acquisition of the minority interest in Arcada in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996. Prior to the acquisition, Palindrome products were marketed and
sold as part of the Seagate Software portfolio.
In fiscal 1997, Seagate Software recorded an additional restructuring
reserve of $3,481,000 that resulted primarily from the plan to shutdown
Manchester operations and the decision to try to sell the Calypso technology and
a separate decision to consolidate NSMG operations which resulted in the
shutdown of the Company's facility in Cupertino, California.
Severance and employee benefits ($770,000) -- Severance and employee
benefits included amounts for the shutdown and termination of employees at the
Cupertino, California facility due to a consolidation of operations and the
shutdown and termination of employees at the Calypso facility in Manchester, New
Hampshire due to a decision to no longer pursue the Calypso products and
technologies.
Excess facilities ($505,000) -- This accrual was designed to provide for
rent termination costs and rent expense for facilities closures in Manchester,
New Hampshire and Cupertino, California.
Equipment ($728,000) -- This reserve is for equipment in the Manchester and
Cupertino facilities that would not be used after the shutdowns. It consisted of
largely of computer equipment but also included amounts for furniture and
fixtures and software. All the equipment provided for in this reserve has been
abandoned.
Intangibles ($1,378,000) -- This asset consisted of Calypso related
intangibles first capitalized upon the acquisition of Calypso in fiscal 1996.
The amounts written down included Net Developed Technology of $1,086,000 and
Assembled Workforce of $292,000. These assets were written off based on
management's plan to sell Calypso and its products and technologies.
Other ($100,000) -- This represents miscellaneous additional costs related
to the Manchester (Calypso) shutdown.

The above assets were not impaired in a period prior to recording the
restructuring reserves because their impairment arose specifically from the
business decision and plan in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 to close the
Manchester (Calypso) facility and abandon that technology and the additional
decision to consolidate operations of the company and close the Cupertino
facility.
EXPORT SALES
Export sales were $32,468,000, $40,748,000 and $57,752,000 in 1996, 1997
and 1998, respectively.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)
The Network & Storage Management Group, its parent company, Seagate
Software, Inc. and Seagate Software's parent company, Seagate Technology, Inc.
("STI") announced on October 5, 1998 that they had entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") as of such date with Veritas Holding
Corporation ("New VERITAS") and VERITAS Software Corporation ("VERITAS"). The
Plan was amended and restated on April 15, 1999. VERITAS provides end-to-end
storage management software solutions.
The Plan provided for the contribution by Seagate Software, STI and certain
of their respective subsidiaries to New VERITAS of (a) the outstanding stock of
the Network & Storage Management Group and certain other subsidiaries of Seagate
Software and (b) those assets used primarily in the network storage management
business of Seagate Software (the "NSMG Business"), in consideration for the
issuance of shares of Common Stock of New VERITAS to Seagate Software and the
offer by New VERITAS to grant options to purchase Common Stock of New VERITAS to
certain of Seagate Software's employees who become employees of New VERITAS or
its subsidiaries. As part of the Plan, New VERITAS also assumed certain
liabilities of the NSMG Business.
As a result of the closing in May 1999, New VERITAS issued approximately
69.1 million shares (on a post split basis) of its common stock to Seagate
Software and 6.9 million options to purchase the Common Stock of New VERITAS
were granted to NSMG business employees. The aggregate number of shares and
options of New VERITAS received by Seagate Software and NSMG business employees
equals approximately 40% of the fully diluted capitalization of New VERITAS
(assuming conversion of all convertible securities, including the VERITAS
convertible debentures, and exercise of assumed options and warrants) at the
effective time of the closing.
In connection with the contribution of the NSMG Business to New VERITAS,
VERITAS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of New VERITAS through a merger with a
subsidiary of New VERITAS of which VERITAS is the surviving entity. Upon
consummation of the merger, the former security holders of VERITAS were issued
New VERITAS securities representing approximately 60% of the fully diluted
capitalization of New VERITAS as of the closing.

(AMOUNTS IN CANADIAN DOLLARS)
CORPORATE PROFILE
The Company develops and markets computer software designed to allow data
backup via a modem or network.
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in Canada.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Revenue recognition:
In the third quarter of 1998, the Company adopted the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2 with respect to
software revenue recognition. Pursuant to SOP 97-2, four specific criteria must
be met prior to recognizing revenue for a single-element arrangement or for
amounts allocated to individual elements in a multiple-element arrangement.
These four criteria are (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (b)
delivery has occurred; (c) the vendor's fee is fixed or determinable; and (d)
collectibility is probable. This change in revenue recognition has been applied
on a retroactive basis which did not affect revenue for the years ended December
31, 1997 and 1996.
The Company sells its software and any related hardware by way of a direct
sale or on a revenue sharing basis.
The Company previously recognized direct sales revenues from software
licenses and hardware upon delivery and installation of the software and
hardware products. Sales made on a revenue sharing basis may have required the
purchaser to make an initial payment, as well as additional payments based upon
a percentage of the future revenues generated by the purchaser. The initial
payment was recorded as revenue at the time of delivery and installation of the
software and hardware products. Future revenue sharing payments were recorded as
revenue if and when earned.
(b) Capital assets:
Capital assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the
following methods and rates:

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(d) Software research and development costs:
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Costs related to internal
development of software are expensed as incurred unless criteria for deferral
and subsequent amortization are met. Specifically, internal software development
costs are deferred once technological feasibility for a product is established.
As at December 31, 1997, December 31, 1998, and March 31, 1999, the Company has
not deferred internal software development costs, as completed development has
coincided with technological feasibility.
(e) Investment tax credits:
Scientific Research and Experimental Development ("SRED") investment tax
credits are accrued when qualifying expenditures are made and there is
reasonable assurance that the credits will be realized. The Company accounts for
investment tax credits using the cost reduction method.
(f) Inventory:
Inventory, consisting primarily of turnkey computer systems assembled for
demonstration purposes and ultimate sale, is recorded at the lesser of cost
determined on a first-in first-out basis and market value.
(g) Per share data:
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the year. Fully diluted per share data has not
been disclosed as the effect of the exercise of share options is not dilutive.
2. RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash consists of cash held in trust in connection with the
payment of interest on certain debt.

4. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
(a) Debentures:
On September 30, 1997, the Company sold 27,500 Units, each consisting of a
$100 principal amount debenture and warrants to purchase 33 Common shares of the
Company. The debentures are unsecured, redeemable, convertible and due September
30, 2002 with interest at 6% payable semi-annually. The debentures are
convertible at $1.50 per share. In conjunction with the debenture offering, the
Company granted to the Agent, an option to purchase up to 2,751 Units at $100
per unit. During 1998, the Agent purchased all 2,751 Units and was issued
debentures and warrants in accordance with the terms of the Units.
The Debentures were redeemable by the Company:
(i) anytime after September 30, 1999 following a period of twenty
consecutive trading days during which the weighted average market price of
the Common Shares equals or exceeds $3.00; or
(ii) anytime following any period of twenty consecutive trading days
during the weighted average market price of the Common Shares equals or
exceeds $6.00.
During 1997 $45,300 of debentures were converted into 30,198 common shares.
In 1998, an additional $275,100 of debentures were issued to the Agent, and
$2,932,360 of debentures were converted into 1,979,054 common shares and $11,800
of debentures where redeemed for cash. Unamortized debt issuance costs related
to the convertible debentures were charged to share capital upon conversion of
the related debentures.
(b) Credit facilities:
At March 31, 1999 the Company has drawn $395,820 (December 31,
1998 -- $427,060, December 31, 1997 -- $500,000) on its operating line of credit
due on demand. Borrowings bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 3%.
Notwithstanding the demand feature of the facility, it is classified as
long-term as monthly payments of $10,420 plus interest are required to maturity
on June 30, 2002. The operating line is renewable annually, however no principal
payments were required prior to January 31, 1998 providing that certain
conditions were satisfied. Annual principal repayments are approximately
$124,800 (December 31, 1998 -- $124,800, December 31, 1997 -- $124,800) plus
accrued interest.
In addition, the Company has a revolving line of credit authorized to a
limit of $150,000 which bears interest at the bank's prime rate plus 2%.
Both credit facilities are secured by a general security agreement and an
assignment of life insurance on an officer of the Company.
(c) Interest expense:
Interest on long-term debt amounted to $20,566 and $7,242 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. Interest on long-term debt
amounted to $13,126, $73,912 and $168,410 for the years ended December 31, 1996,
1997 and 1998, respectively.

6. INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense differs from the amount which would be computed by
applying the federal and provincial combined statutory income tax rate to income
before income taxes. The reasons for the difference are as follows:

The Company has available deductions for income tax purposes of
approximately $4,400,000 at March 31, 1999 (December 31, 1998 -- $4,000,000,
December 31, 1997 -- $2,400,000) consisting of SRED expenditures and operating
losses. The operating losses begin expiring in 2002. The Company also estimates
that it has available SRED investment tax credits to reduce future income tax
payable of approximately $200,000 at March 31, 1999 (December 31,
1998 -- $175,000, (December 31, 1997 -- $100,000).
The Company earned refundable SRED investment tax credits prior to becoming
a public company. These credits are shown as current assets, and along with the
credits above, are subject to technical and financial audit by Revenue Canada.
At December 31, 1998, the refundable credits had been received.
7. COMMITMENTS
(a) On December 29, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement which
allowed the Company utilization of certain technology rights in exchange for a
royalty commitment. On November 19, 1997, the royalty commitment was
renegotiated, whereby the royalty was converted from a percentage-based royalty
to a flat-fee royalty with a buy-out option, which provides the Company the
right to call the buy-out option at any time (note 3)
(b) The Company is committed to minimum rentals under premises leases of
approximately $341,600 per year to 2002 and $231,600 per year to 2004.
8. RELATED PARTIES
(a) During the periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1999 and during the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company purchased computer equipment
totalling nil, nil, $278,975, $42,820 and nil, respectively, from a shareholder.

8. RELATED PARTIES (CONTINUED)
(b) During the year ended December 31, 1997, interest of $15,000 was paid
to two directors of the Company on account of $150,000 in promissory notes which
were issued and repaid.
(c) The Company leases office space from a shareholder for $3,600 per
month.
9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The carrying value of cash and temporary investments, accounts receivable
and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of
these instruments. The fair value of the debentures was approximately $2,141,000
at December 31, 1997. The fair value of the Company's operating line
approximates its carrying value due to its variable interest rate.
During 1998, two customers of the Company individually represented 49% and
48% respectively, of the Company's revenues. In 1997, five customers of the
Company individually represented 24%, 21%, 20%, 17% and 10%, respectively, of
the Company's revenues. During 1996, three customers of the Company individually
represented 42%, 35%, and 20%, respectively, of the Company's revenues.
10. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company's method for determining what information to report about
operating segments is based on the way that management organizes the operating
segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing
financial performance.
The Company's chief operating decision maker is considered to be the
Company's President and CEO. The President and CEO reviews financial information
presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions and
assessing financial performance. The financial information reviewed by the
President and CEO is identical to the information presented in the accompanying
Statements of Operations. Therefore, the Company operates in a single operating
segment: developing and marketing computer software designed to allow data
backup via a modem or network. The Company does not have significant
international operations.
11. UNCERTAINTY DUE TO THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 Issue arises because many computerized systems use two digits
rather than four to identify a year. Date-sensitive systems may recognize the
year 2000 as 1900 or some other date, resulting in errors when information using
year 2000 dates is processed. In addition, similar problems may arise in some
systems which use certain dates in 1999 to represent something other than a
date. The effects of the Year 2000 Issue may be experienced before, on, or after
January 1, 2000, and, if not addressed, the impact on operations and financial
reporting may range from minor errors to significant systems failure which could
affect an entity's ability to conduct normal business operations. It is not
possible to be certain that all aspects of the Year 2000 Issue affecting the
entity, including those related to the efforts of customers, suppliers, or other
third parties, will be fully resolved.

12. COMBINATION AGREEMENT
On September 1, 1998 the Company signed a Combination Agreement (the
"Agreement") with VERITAS Software Corporation (VERITAS). Consummation of the
Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including regulatory clearances
in Canada and the United States, judicial clearance in Canada and formal
approval by the shareholders of both companies.
Under the terms of the Agreement, at the effective time the Company will
issue to its shareholders, exchangeable shares which are exchangeable into
common shares of VERITAS. The number of exchangeable shares to be issued to the
Company's shareholders will be based on a sliding scale which is tied to an
average of the VERITAS common share price for the 10 days prior to the closing
of the transaction. In general terms, the total number of exchangeable shares to
be issued shall equal (a) in the event that the average price is between
U.S.$33.81 per share and U.S.$41.32 per share, 1,710,000 common shares of
VERITAS (b) in the event that the average price is less than $33.81 per share,
the number of common shares of VERITAS determined by dividing $57,808,000 (U.S.)
by such average price, provided however, that, in such case, in no event shall
the total exceed 1,900,000 common shares of VERITAS, (c) in the event that the
average price is more than $41.32 per common share, the number of common shares
of VERITAS determined by dividing $70,654,000 (U.S.) by such average price,
provided however, that, in such case, in no event shall the total be less than
1,555,000 common shares of VERITAS.
In the event that the Company's shareholders do not approve the terms of
the Agreement, the Company shall pay to VERITAS a fee of U.S. $3 million and
grant a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free and fully-paid license to certain
Company software. Also, should the Company be acquired within 12 months after
the termination of the Agreement as described above a further U.S. $10 million
amount becomes payable to VERITAS.
In the event that the VERITAS shareholders do not approve the terms of the
Agreement, VERITAS shall pay the Company a fee of U.S. $2 million and upon such
payment, shall have a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free and fully-paid license
to use, modify, create derivative works of, copy and distribute certain Company
software.
On May 26, 1999 the shareholders of the Company voted to approve the
combination agreement with VERITAS.

13. RECONCILIATION TO ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED
STATES
The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted ("GAAP") in Canada which, in the case
of the Company, conform in all material respects with those in the United
States, except as outlined below:
(a) Statement of Operations:
The application of U.S. GAAP would have the effect of including in
compensation expense the value of common share purchase options granted to
certain officers and employees by the Company's founding shareholders, as
follows:

</TABLE>
The Company retroactively adopted SOP 97-2 (see note 1(a)) for Canadian
GAAP purposes in the third quarter of 1998. For US GAAP purposes SOP 97-2
requires prospective adoption beginning in the Company's first quarter of 1998.
In the case of the Company's 1996 and 1997 revenue as recorded in accordance
with Canadian GAAP, the application of SOP 97-2 would not have had any effect.
As a result the Company's revenues as recorded in the Statement of Operations
are the same under both Canadian an US GAAP.
(b) Balance Sheet:
The application of U.S. GAAP would have the following effect on the Balance
Sheet as at December 31, 1997 from reclassifying shares issued which required
regulatory approval from share-

GAAP would not have an effect on assets or on the Balance Sheet captions

In addition, under Canadian GAAP, at March 31, 1999 the Company classified
$271,020 (December 31, 1998 -- $302,260, December 31, 1997 -- $375,200) of a
demand loan as a long-term liability because that portion of the scheduled
installment payments are due beyond one year. Under U.S. GAAP, the entire note
would be considered a current liability.
(c) Statement of Changes in Financial Position:
The application of U.S. GAAP would have the effect of eliminating non-cash
items and excluding restricted cash from the definition of cash as follows:

(d) Comprehensive income (loss):
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income,
which establishes standards for reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income
and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of
general purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997 and requires reclassification of financial
statements for earlier periods to be provided for comparative purposes. The
Company adopted SFAS No. 130 on January 1, 1998, however, no incremental
disclosures are required as the Company does not have any elements of
comprehensive income (loss) except for the net loss reported in the Statements
of Operations.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors
and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's
restated certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the
personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) under section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law (regarding unlawful dividends and stock purchases) or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the bylaws of the
Registrant provide that (i) the Registrant is required to indemnify its
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, subject to certain very limited exceptions, (ii) the Registrant
may indemnify its other employees and agents as set forth in the Delaware
General Corporation Law, (iii) the Registrant is required to advance expenses,
as incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding
to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject
to certain very limited exceptions and (iv) the rights conferred in the bylaws
are not exclusive.
The indemnification provisions in the bylaws and the indemnification
agreements to be entered into between the Registrant and its officers and
directors, may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the
Registrant's officers and directors for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act. The Registrant intends to enter into indemnification agreements with each
of its current directors and executive officers to give such directors and
officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the
indemnification set forth in the Registrant's restated certificate of
incorporation and to provide additional procedural protections. At present,
there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer
II-1
<PAGE> 194
or employee of the Registrant regarding which indemnification is sought, nor is
the Registrant aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for
indemnification.
The NSMG combination agreement and the TeleBackup combination agreement
contain covenants on the part of the Registrant to maintain indemnification
provisions in the charter documents of the surviving corporation of the NSMG
combination and the TeleBackup combination which are identical to such
provisions contained in the charter documents of VERITAS prior to the
combinations. Registrant shall also honor, in all respects, all of the indemnity
agreements entered into prior to the combinations, with VERITAS officers and
directors, whether or not such persons continue in their positions with
Registrant following the effective time. In addition, pursuant to the NSMG
combination agreement, Registrant must use its commercially reasonable efforts
to maintain director and officer liability insurance with coverages, which are
similar to the coverages VERITAS maintained prior to the combinations for a
period from and after the effective time until at least six years after the
effective time. These covenants are contained in the NSMG combination agreement
attached as Appendix A to the Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended,
filed with the Commission on April 21, 1999 under the heading "Indemnification
and Insurance -- VERITAS" and in the TeleBackup combination agreement attached
as Appendix G to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Reg. No. 333-76531), as
amended, filed with the Commission on April 21, 1999 under the heading
"Indemnification."

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 14 above, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)

Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.

Corporation, a Delaware corporation (VERITAS Operating Corporation and its
successors herein referred to as the "Company"), as co-issuer, VERITAS Software
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (VERITAS Software Corporation and its
successors herein referred to as "New VERITAS"), as co-issuer, (the Company and
New VERITAS, collectively referred to herein as the "Issuers") and State Street
Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A., as Trustee (the "Trustee").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee are parties to an Indenture, dated as
of October 1, 1997 (the "Indenture"), relating to the Company's 5 1/4%
Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2004 (the "Securities").
WHEREAS, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization dated as of April 15, 1999 (the "Combination Agreement")
among the Company, New VERITAS, Seagate Technology, Inc., Seagate Software,
Inc., and Seagate Software Network & Storage Management Group, Inc. Pursuant to
the Combination Agreement, the Company merged with and into a wholly-owned
subsidiary of New VERITAS with the Company as the surviving entity (the
"Merger"). Simultaneously with the Merger, the Company, which was formerly named
VERITAS Software Corporation, changed its name to VERITAS Operating Corporation
and New VERITAS, which was initially named VERITAS Holding Corporation, changed
its name to VERITAS Software Corporation.
WHEREAS, Section 14.3 of the Indenture provides that in the case of a
merger or transfer of substantially all the assets of the Company, the Company
and the Person resulting from such merger or which acquires the properties or
assets of the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture modifying the provisions of the Indenture.
WHEREAS, the Company desired to amend the Indenture to add New VERITAS as
an additional obligor under the Indenture and the Securities on a joint and
several basis with the Company and to provide that the Securities are
convertible into the common stock of New VERITAS.
WHEREAS, New VERITAS desired to assume all of the obligations of the
Company under the Indenture and the Securities on a joint and several basis.
WHEREAS, the Company, New VERITAS and the Trustee entered into a First
Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 28, 1999 (the "First Supplemental
Indenture") with respect to the assumption by New VERITAS of the obligations
under the Indenture and the Securities, and providing that the Securities are
convertible into common stock of New VERITAS.
<PAGE> 3
WHEREAS, the First Supplemental Indenture provides that New VERITAS "may
exercise every right and power of the Company under the Indenture."
WHEREAS, New VERITAS and the Company desire to amend and restate the First
Supplemental Indenture to clarify and confirm that New VERITAS' obligations
under the Indenture and the Securities are subordinate in right of payment to
senior indebtedness of New VERITAS.
WHEREAS, all conditions and requirements necessary to make this Restated
First Supplemental Indenture a valid, binding and legal instrument in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture have been performed and fulfilled and the
execution and delivery hereof have been in all respects duly authorized.
WHEREAS, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Company and New
VERITAS have requested that the Trustee execute and deliver this Restated First
Supplemental Indenture and have delivered to the Trustee copies of their
respective Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of this Restated First
Supplemental Indenture.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises, each party agrees,
for the benefit of the other and for the equal and ratable benefit of the
Holders of the Securities, as follows:
I. EFFECTIVENESS
1.1 Effectiveness of Restated First Supplemental Indenture. This Restated First
Supplemental Indenture will be effective upon execution by all parties hereto.
Upon effectiveness of this Restated First Supplemental Indenture, the First
Supplemental Indenture shall be amended and restated in its entirety hereby.
II. ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS
2.1 Assumption. New VERITAS hereby unconditionally assumes joint and several
liability for all of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the
Securities, including the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on the Securities according to the terms of the Securities and as more fully
described in the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
remain obligated under the Indenture and the Securities, in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture. New VERITAS shall be added as a co-obligor of the
Indenture and may exercise every right and power of the Company under the
Indenture, and the Company and New VERITAS shall be jointly and severally
responsible for all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the
Securities.
2
<PAGE> 4
2.2 Subordination. (a) The obligations of New VERITAS under Section 2.1 hereof
shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the New VERITAS Senior
Indebtedness (as defined in Section 2.2(b) hereof) to the same extent and in the
same manner that the Securities are subordinate and junior in right of payment
to the Senior Indebtedness of the Company pursuant to Article Thirteen of the
Indenture.
(b) As used herein, "New VERITAS Senior Indebtedness" means the principal
of, premium, if any, interest (including all interest accruing subsequent to the
commencement of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, whether or not a claim for
post-petition interest is allowable as a claim in such proceeding) and rent
payable on or in connection with, and all fees, costs, expenses and other
amounts accrued or due on or connection with, Indebtedness of New VERITAS,
whether outstanding on the date hereof or thereafter created, incurred, assumed,
guaranteed or in effect guaranteed by New VERITAS (including all deferrals,
renewals, extensions or refundings of, or amendments, modifications or
supplements to, the foregoing), unless in the case of any particular
Indebtedness the instrument creating or evidencing the same or the assumption or
guarantee thereof expressly provides that such Indebtedness shall not be senior
in right of payment to the Securities or expressly provides that such
Indebtedness is "pari passu" or "junior" to the Securities. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, New VERITAS Senior Indebtedness shall not include any Indebtedness of
New VERITAS to any subsidiary of New VERITAS.
III. AMENDMENTS
The Indenture is hereby amended as follows:
3.1 Title Paragraph. In the first paragraph of the Indenture on page 1 thereof
the following amendments are hereby made:
(a) after the phrase "dated as of October 1, 1997" therein the phrase
",as amended and supplemented" is hereby added thereto.
(b) after the phrase "(herein called the "Company")," therein the phrase
"VERITAS Holding Corporation (VERITAS Holding Corporation and its successors
herein called "New VERITAS")" is hereby added thereto.
3.2 Definitions. The following amendments are hereby made to Section 1.1 of the
Indenture:
(a) the definition of "Common Stock" is replaced in its entirety by the
following:
"Common Stock" includes any stock or shares of any class of New
VERITAS which has no preference in respect of dividends or of amounts
payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
3
<PAGE> 5
dissolution or winding up of New VERITAS and which is not subject to
redemption by New VERITAS; provided, however, subject to the
provisions of Section 12.11, shares issuable on conversion of
Securities shall include only shares of the class designated as Common
Stock of New VERITAS at the date of the First Supplemental Indenture
or shares of any class or classes resulting from any reclassification
or reclassifications thereof and which have no preference in respect
of dividends or of amounts payable in the event of any voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of New VERITAS and
which are not subject to redemption by New VERITAS; provided, further,
however, that if at any time there shall be more than one such
resulting class, the shares of each such class then so issuable shall
be substantially in the proportion which the total number of shares of
such class resulting from all such reclassifications bears to the
total number of shares of all such classes resulting from all such
reclassifications.
(b) the definition of "Fundamental Change" is replaced in its entirety by
the following:
"Fundamental Change" means the occurrence of any transaction or
event in connection with which all or substantially all of the Common
Stock of New VERITAS shall be exchanged for, converted into, acquired
for or constitute solely the right to receive, consideration (whether
by means of an exchange offer, liquidation, tender offer,
consolidation, merger, combination, reclassification, recapitalization
or otherwise) which is not all or substantially all common stock or
shares which are (or, upon consummation of or immediately following
such transaction or event, will be) listed on a United States national
securities exchange or approved for quotation on the Nasdaq National
Market or any similar United States system of automated dissemination
of quotations of securities prices.
3.3 Securities Convertible into New VERITAS Common Stock.
(a) The words "Common Stock of the Company" are hereby deleted and
replaced with the words "Common Stock of New VERITAS" in Article Twelve and
elsewhere in the Indenture.
(b) The first paragraph of Section 12.11 of the Indenture is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
If any of the following events occur, namely (i) any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
of New VERITAS (other than a subdivision or combination to which
Section 12.4(3) applies), (ii) any consolidation, merger or
combination of New VERITAS with another corporation as a result of
which holders of Common Stock of New VERITAS
4
<PAGE> 6
shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or
assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common
Stock, or (iii) any sale or conveyance of the properties and assets of
New VERITAS as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other
corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock of New
VERITAS shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other
property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for
such Common Stock, then New VERITAS, or the successor or purchasing
corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a
supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture
Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental
indenture) providing that such Security shall be convertible into the
kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property or
assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance by a holder of
a number of shares of Common Stock of New VERITAS issuable upon
conversion of such Securities (assuming, for such purposes, a
sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock of New VERITAS
available to convert all such Securities) immediately prior to such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or
conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock of New VERITAS is (i)
not a Person with which New VERITAS consolidated or into which New
VERITAS merged or which merged into New VERITAS or to which such sale
or transfer was made, as the case may be (a "Constituent Person"), or
an Affiliate of a Constituent Person, and (ii) failed to exercise his
rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities,
cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance (provided that,
if the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable
upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger,
combination, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of
Common Stock of New VERITAS in respect of which such rights of
election shall not have been exercised ("Non-electing Share")), then
for the purposes of this Section 12.11 the kind and amount of
securities, cash or other property receivable upon such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or
conveyance for each Non-electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind
and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing
shares. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments
which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such
supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article. The above
provisions of this Section 12.11 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations,
sales or conveyances. Notice of the execution of such a supplemental
indenture shall be given by New VERITAS to the Holder of each Security
as provided in Section 1.6 promptly upon such execution.

<PAGE> 7
(c) In the second paragraph of Section 12.11, in Sections 12.2 through
12.9, and in Section 12.12 of the Indenture, the words "the Company" are hereby
deleted and replaced with the words "New VERITAS".
3.4 Amendment to Section 14 of the Indenture. In Sections 14.1 and 14.2 of the
Indenture relating to the rights of Holders to cause the Company to repurchase
the Securities following a Fundamental Change, references to "the Company" are
hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with references to "New VERITAS"
and references to "the Company Notice" are hereby deleted and replaced in their
entirety and replaced with "the New VERITAS Notice".
IV. NOTIFICATION TO HOLDERS
4.1 Notice to Holders of Securities. The Company shall notify the Holders in
accordance with Section 8.6 of the Indenture of the execution of this Restated
First Supplemental Indenture. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or
any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity
of this Restated First Supplemental Indenture.
V. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
5.1 Incorporation of Indenture. All the provisions of this Restated First
Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be incorporated in, and made a part
of, the Indenture; and the Indenture, as supplemented and amended by this
Restated First Supplemental Indenture, shall be read, taken and construed as one
and the same instrument.
5.2 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits,
qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required to be
included in this Restated First Supplemental Indenture by any of the provisions
of the Trust Indenture Act, the required provision shall control.
5.3 Terms Defined. For all purposes of this Restated First Supplemental
Indenture, except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this
Restated First Supplemental Indenture shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Indenture.
5.4 Indenture. Except as amended hereby, the Indenture and the Securities are
in all respects ratified and confirmed and all their terms shall remain in full
force and effect. From and after the effectiveness of this Restated First
Supplemental Indenture, any reference to the Indenture or the Securities shall
mean the Indenture or the Securities, as the case may be, as so amended by this
Restated First Supplemental Indenture.
5.5 Governing Law. The internal laws of the State of New York shall govern this
Restated First Supplemental Indenture, without regard to the principles of the
conflicts of law thereof.

[LETTERHEAD OF FENWICK & WEST LLP]
August 5, 1999
VERITAS Software Corporation
1600 Plymouth Street
Mountain View, CA 94043
Ladies and Gentlemen:
At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-1
(File Number 333-83777) (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") filed by you with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION") on or about July 27, 1999
in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, of the offer and sale of an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of your
Common Stock (the "STOCK") which shares of Stock are presently issued and
outstanding and will be sold by certain selling stockholders named in the
Registration Statement.
In rendering this opinion, we have examined the following:
(1) your registration statement on Form S-1 (File Number 333-80851), as
amended, filed with the Commission on June 17, 1999, together with
the Exhibits filed as a part thereof;
(2) your registration statement on Form S-4, as amended (File Number
333-76531) filed with the Commission on April 19, 1999, together
with the Exhibits filed as a part thereof;
(3) your registration statement on Form 8-A (File Number 000-26247), as
amended, filed with the Commission on June 2, 1999;
(4) the Registration Statement, together with the Exhibits filed as a
part thereof and the Exhibits incoporated therein by reference;
(5) the Prospectuses prepared in connection with the Registration
Statement;
(6) the minutes of meetings and actions by written consent of the
stockholders and Board of Directors that are contained in your
minute books and the minute books of your predecessor, VERITAS
Operating Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("VOC"), that are in
our possession;
<PAGE> 2
August 5, 1999
Page 2
(7) the stock records that you have provided to us (consisting of a
certificate from your transfer agent dated August 4, 1999 verifying
the number of your issued and outstanding shares of capital stock as
of August 3, 1999 and a list of option and warrant holders
respecting your capital and of any rights to purchase capital stock
that was prepared by you and dated August 4, 1999 verifying the
number of such issued and outstanding securities); and
(8) a Management Certificate addressed to us and dated of even date
herewith executed by the Company containing certain factual and
other representations.
In our examination of documents for purposes of this opinion, we have
assumed, and express no opinion as to, the genuineness of all signatures on
original documents, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted
to us as originals, the conformity to originals and completeness of all
documents submitted to us as copies, the legal capacity of all natural persons
executing the same, the lack of any undisclosed termination, modification,
waiver or amendment to any document reviewed by us and the due authorization,
execution and delivery of all documents where due authorization, execution and
delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof.
As to matters of fact relevant to this opinion, we have relied solely upon
our examination of the documents referred to above and have assumed the current
accuracy and completeness of the information obtained from records referred to
above. We have made no independent investigation or other attempt to verify the
accuracy of any of such information or to determine the existence or
non-existence of any other factual matters; however, we are not aware of any
facts that would cause us to believe that the opinion expressed herein is not
accurate.
We are admitted to practice law in the State of California, and we express
no opinion herein with respect to the application or effect of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the existing laws of the United States of America and
the State of California and (without reference to case law or secondary sources)
the existing Delaware General Corporation Law.
In connection with our opinion expressed below, we have assumed that, at
or prior to the time of the delivery of any shares of Stock, the Registration
Statement will have been declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, that the registration will apply to such shares of Stock and will not
have been modified or rescinded and that there will not have occurred any change
in law affecting the validity or enforceability of such shares of Stock.
Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the 12,000,000 shares of
Stock to be sold by the Selling Stockholders, when issued in accordance with and
in the manner referred to in the relevant Prospectus associated with the
Registration Statement and when evidenced by
<PAGE> 3
August 5, 1999
Page 3
appropriate certificates that have been properly executed and delivered, will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and further consent to all references to us, if any, in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus constituting a part thereof and any
amendments thereto.
This opinion speaks only as of its date and we assume no obligation to
update this opinion should circumstances change after the date hereof. This
opinion is intended solely for the your use as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement for the purpose of the above sale of the Stock and is not to be relied
upon for any other purpose.
Very truly yours,
FENWICK & WEST LLP

to such Property and subject to Section 5.9, (i) each Lender's Loan shall
automatically be increased by the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on such

description of the Land, if any, a schedule of the Improvements, if any, and a
schedule of the Equipment, if any, acquired or to be acquired on such date, and
a schedule of the Work, if any, to be performed, each of the foregoing in a
form reasonably acceptable to the Agent) and (B) with respect to each

SECTION 6B. GUARANTY
6B.1. GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE.
Subject to Section 6B.7, each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally guarantees to each Financing Party the prompt payment and
performance of the Company Obligations in full when due (whether at stated
maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) or when such
is otherwise to be performed; provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, the
obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 6B shall not constitute a
direct guaranty of the indebtedness of the Lessor evidenced by the Notes but
rather a guaranty of the Company Obligations arising under the Operative
Agreements. This Section 6B is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of
collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all Company
Obligations whenever arising. All rights granted to the Financing Parties under
this Section 6B shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.2(h) and 8.6.
23
<PAGE> 29
6B.2. OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL.
Each Guarantor agrees that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder are
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of any of the Operative Agreements, or any other
agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release or
exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Company
Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety, guarantor or
co-obligor, it being the intent of this Section 6B.2 that the obligations of the
Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that this Section 6B may be enforced by the
Financing Parties without the necessity at any time of resorting to or
exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any
time of having recourse to the Notes, the Certificates or any other of the
Operative Agreements or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Company
Obligations or otherwise and each Guarantor hereby waives the right to require
the Financing Parties to proceed against the Construction Agent, the Lessee or
any other Person (including without limitation a co-guarantor) or to require the
Financing Parties to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Each
Guarantor further agrees that it hereby waives any and all right of subrogation,
indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Lessee and the Construction
Agent or any other Guarantor of the Company Obligations for amounts paid under
this Section 6B until such time as the Loans, Holder Advances, accrued but
unpaid interest, accrued but unpaid Holder Yield and all other amounts owing
under the Operative Agreements have been paid in full. Without limiting the
generality of the waiver provisions of this Section 6B, each Guarantor hereby
waives any rights to require the Financing Parties to proceed against the
Construction Agent, the Lessee or any co-guarantor or to require Lessor to
pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Each Guarantor further
agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Financing Parties from
suing on any Operative Agreement or foreclosing any security interest in or Lien
on any collateral, if any, securing the Company Obligations or from exercising
any other rights available to it under any Operative Agreement, or any other
instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights
and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a
discharge of any Guarantor's obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and
intent of each Guarantor that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute,
independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances; provided that any
amounts due under this Section 6B which are paid to or for the benefit of any
Financing Party shall reduce the Company Obligations by a corresponding amount
(unless required to be rescinded at a later date). Neither any Guarantor's
obligations under this Section 6B nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof
shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an
impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of the
Construction Agent or the Lessee or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of
the Construction Agent or the Lessee. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice
of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Company Obligations
and notice of or proof of reliance by any Financing Party upon this Section 6B
or acceptance of this Section 6B. Each Guarantor also expressly waives any and
all benefits under the California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive.
The Company Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created,
contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance
upon this Section 6B. All dealings between the Construction Agent, the Lessee
and any of the guarantors, on the one
24
<PAGE> 30
hand, and the Financing Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be
conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this
Section 6B.

hereafter held for the Company Obligations, if any, may be exchanged,
compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) no Financing Party shall have
any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security
interests, liens or encumbrances now or hereafter held, if any, for the Company
Obligations or the properties subject thereto; (c) the time or place of payment
of the Company Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to
a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in
part; (d) the Construction Agent, the Lessee and any other party liable for
payment under the Operative Agreements may be granted indulgencies generally;
(e) any of the provisions of the Notes, the Certificates or any of the other
Operative Agreements may be modified, amended or waived; (f) any party
(including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment thereof may be granted
indulgences or be released; and (g) any deposit balance for the credit of the
Construction Agent, the Lessee or any other party liable for the payment of the
Company Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in
whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated
maturity of the Company Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by
such Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such
exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration,
modification, indulgence or release.
6B.4. Waiver of Rights.
Each Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law: (a) notice of acceptance of this Section 6B by any Financing
Party and of all extensions of credit or other Advances to the Construction
Agent and the Lessee by the Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Operative
Agreements; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the
Company Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default with
respect to the Company Obligations or with respect to any security therefor;
(d) notice of any Financing Party obtaining, amending, substituting for,
releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest, lien or encumbrance, if
any, hereafter securing the Company Obligations, or any Financing Party's
subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests,
liens or encumbrances, if any; and (e) all other notices to which such
Guarantor might otherwise be entitled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, (i) each Guarantor's payments hereunder shall be due five (5) Business
Days after written demand by the Agent for such payment (unless the Company
Obligations are automatically accelerated pursuant to the applicable provisions
of the Operative Agreements in which case the Guarantors' payments shall be
automatically due) and (ii) any modification of the Operative Agreements which
has the effect of increasing the Company Obligations shall not be enforceable
against a Guarantor unless such Guarantor executes the document evidencing such
modification or otherwise reaffirms its guaranty in writing in connection with
such modification.
25
<PAGE> 31
6B.5. REINSTATEMENT.
The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 6B shall be
automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment
by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Company Obligations is
rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Company
Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or
reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify
each Financing Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by any
Financing Party in connection with such rescission or restoration, including
without limitation any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against
any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent
transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
6B.6. REMEDIES.
The Guarantors agree that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
each Financing Party, on the other hand, the Company Obligations may be declared
to be forthwith due and payable as provided in the applicable provisions of the
Operative Agreements (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and
payable in the circumstances provided therein) notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such
Company Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any
other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Company
Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such
Company Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall
forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Operative Agreements.
6B.7. LIMITATION OF GUARANTY.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any
of the other Operative Agreements, to the extent the obligations of any
Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason
(including without limitation because of any applicable state or federal law
relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such
Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible
under applicable law (whether federal or state and including without limitation
the Bankruptcy Code).

in full, regardless of the source of payment, the Guarantors' obligations
hereunder shall be deemed satisfied, discharged and terminated other than
indemnifications set forth herein that expressly survive.

liability hereunder and under the other documents to which it is a party in
respect of obligations to be performed on or after the date of such transfer;
provided, however, that any transferor shall remain liable hereunder and under
such other documents to the extent that the transferee shall not have assumed
the obligations of the transferor thereunder. Upon any transfer by the Owner
Trustee, a Holder or a Lender as above provided, any such transferee shall
assume the obligations of the Owner Trustee, the Holder or the Lender, as the
case may be, and shall be deemed an "Owner Trustee", "Holder", or "Lender", as
the case may be, for all purposes of such documents and each reference herein to
the transferor shall thereafter be deemed a reference to such transferee for all
purposes, except as provided in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding any
transfer of all or a portion of the transferor's interest as provided in this
Section 10, the transferor shall be entitled to all benefits accrued and all
rights vested prior to such transfer including without limitation rights to
indemnification under any such document.
SECTION 11. INDEMNIFICATION.
11.1. GENERAL INDEMNITY.
Subject to and limited by in all respects by the provisions of Sections
11.6 through 11.8 and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby
shall be consummated, the Indemnity Provider hereby assumes liability for and
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person on an
After Tax Basis from and against any Claims, which may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against an Indemnified Person by any third party, including
without limitation Claims arising from the negligence of an Indemnified Person
(but not to the extent such Claims arise from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnified Person itself, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction, as opposed to gross negligence or willful misconduct
imputed to such Indemnified Person) in any way relating to or arising or alleged
to arise out of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this
Agreement, the Lease or any other Operative Agreement or on or with respect to
any Property or any component thereof, including without limitation Claims in
any way relating to or arising or alleged to arise out of (a) the financing,
refinancing, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, design, construction,
refurbishment, development, delivery, acceptance, nondelivery, leasing,
subleasing, possession, use, occupancy, operation, maintenance repair,
modification, transportation, condition, sale, return, repossession (whether by
summary proceedings or otherwise), or any other disposition of any Property or
any part thereof, including without limitation the acquisition, holding or
disposition of any interest in the Property, lease or agreement comprising a
portion of any thereof; (b) any latent or other defects in any Property or any
portion thereof whether or not discoverable by an Indemnified Person or the
Indemnity
52
<PAGE> 58
Provider; (c) a violation of Environmental Laws. Environmental Claims or other
loss of or damage to any property or the environment relating to the Property,
the Lease, the Agency Agreement or the Indemnity Provider; (d) the Operative
Agreements, or any transaction contemplated thereby; (e) any breach by the
Indemnity Provider of any of its representations or warranties under the
Operative Agreements to which the Indemnity Provider is a party or failure by
the Indemnity Provider to perform or observe any covenant or agreement to be
performed by it under any of the Operative Agreements; (f) the transactions
contemplated hereby or by any other Operative Agreement, in respect of the
application of Parts 4 and 5 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA; (g) personal
injury, death or property damage, including without limitation Claims based on
strict or absolute liability in tort; and (h) any fees, expenses and/or other
assessments by any business park or any other applicable entity with oversight
responsibility for the applicable Property.
If a written Claim is made against any Indemnified Person or if any
proceeding shall be commenced against such Indemnified Person (including
without limitation a written notice of such proceeding), for any Claim, such
Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Indemnity Provider in writing and
shall not take action with respect to such Claim without the consent of the
Indemnity Provider for thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice by the
Indemnity Provider; provided, however, that in the case of any such Claim, if
action shall be required by law or regulation to be taken prior to the end of
such period of thirty (30) days, such Indemnified Person shall endeavor to, in
such notice to the Indemnity Provider, inform the Indemnity Provider of such
shorter period, and no action shall be taken with respect to such Claim without
the consent of the Indemnity Provider before seven (7) days before the end of
such shorter period; provided, further, that the failure of such Indemnified
Person to give the notices referred to in this sentence shall not diminish the
Indemnity Provider's obligation hereunder except to the extent such failure
precludes in all respects the Indemnity Provider from contesting such Claim.
If, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice from the Indemnified
Person (or such shorter period as the Indemnified Person has notified the
Indemnity Provider is required by law or regulation for the Indemnified Person
to respond to such Claim), the Indemnity Provider shall request in writing that
such Indemnified Person respond to such Claim, the Indemnified Person shall, at
the expense of the Indemnity Provider, in good faith conduct and control such
action (including without limitation by pursuit of appeals) (provided, however,
that (A) if such Claim, in the Indemnity Provider's reasonable discretion, can
be pursued by the Indemnity Provider on behalf of or in the name of such
Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person, at the Indemnity Provider's
request, shall allow the Indemnity Provider to conduct and control the response
to such Claim and (B) in the case of any Claim (and notwithstanding the
provisions of the foregoing subsection (A)), the Indemnified Person may request
the Indemnity Provider to conduct and control the response to such Claim (with
counsel to be selected by the Indemnity Provider and consented to by such
Indemnified Person, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided,
however, that any Indemnified Person may retain separate counsel at the expense
of the Indemnity Provider in the event of a conflict of interest between such
Indemnified Person and the Indemnity Provider)) by, in the sole discretion of
the Person conducting and controlling the response to such Claim (1) resisting
payment thereof, (2) not paying the same except under protest, if protest is
necessary and proper, (3) if the payment be made, using
53
<PAGE> 59
reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and
judicial proceedings, or (4) taking such other action as is reasonably requested
by the Indemnity Provider from time to time.
The party controlling the response to any Claim shall consult in good
faith with the non-controlling party and shall keep the non-controlling party
reasonably informed as to the conduct of the response to such Claim; provided,
that all decisions ultimately shall be made in the discretion of the
controlling party. The parties agree that an Indemnified Person may at any time
decline to take further action with respect to the response to such Claim and
may settle such Claim if such Indemnified Person shall waive its rights to any
indemnity from the Indemnity Provider that otherwise would be payable in
respect of such Claim (and any future Claim, the pursuit of which is precluded
by reason of such resolution of such Claim) and shall pay to the Indemnity
Provider any amount previously paid or advanced by the Indemnity Provider
pursuant to this Section 11.1 by way of indemnification or advance for the
payment of an amount regarding such Claim.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1, an
Indemnified Person shall not be required to take any action and the Indemnity
Provider shall not be permitted to respond to any Claim in its own name or that
of the Indemnified Person unless (A) the Indemnity Provider shall have agreed
to pay and shall pay to such Indemnified Person on demand and on an After Tax
Basis all reasonable costs, losses and expenses that such Indemnified Person
actually incurs in connection with such Claim, including without limitation all
reasonable legal, accounting and investigatory fees and disbursements and, if
the Indemnified Person has informed the Indemnity Provider that it intends to
contest such Claim (whether or not the control of the contest is then assumed
by the Indemnity Provider), the Indemnity Provider shall have agreed that the
Claim is an indemnifiable Claim hereunder, (B) in the case of a Claim that must
be pursued in the name of an Indemnified Person (or an Affiliate thereof), the
amount of the potential indemnity (taking into account all similar or logically
related Claims that have been or could be raised for which the Indemnity
Provider may be liable to pay an indemnity under this Section 11.1) exceeds
$25,000 (or such lesser amount as may be subsequently agreed between the
Indemnity Provider and the Indemnified Person), (C) the Indemnified Person
shall have reasonably determined that the action to be taken will not result in
any material danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Property, or any part
thereof or interest therein, will not interfere with the payment of Rent, and
will not result in risk of criminal liability, (D) if such Claim shall involve
the payment of any amount prior to the resolution of such Claim, the Indemnity
Provider shall provide to the Indemnified Person an interest-free advance in an
amount equal to the amount that the Indemnified Person is required to pay (with
no additional net after-tax cost to such Indemnified Person) prior to the date
such payment is due, (E) in the case of a Claim that must be pursued in the
name of an Indemnified Person (or an Affiliate thereof), the Indemnity Provider
shall have provided to such Indemnified Person an opinion of independent
counsel selected by the Indemnity Provider and reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person stating that a reasonable basis exists to contest such Claim
(or, in the case of an appeal of an adverse determination, an opinion of such
counsel to the effect that the position asserted in such appeal will more
likely than not prevail) and (F) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. In no event shall an Indemnified Person be required to appeal an
adverse judicial
54
<PAGE> 60
determination to the United States Supreme Court. In addition, an Indemnified
Person shall not be required to contest any Claim in its name (or that of an
Affiliate) if the subject matter thereof shall be of a continuing nature and
shall have previously been decided adversely by a court of competent
jurisdiction pursuant to the contest provisions of this Section 11.1, unless
there shall have been a change in law (or interpretation thereof) and the
Indemnified Person shall have received, at the Indemnity Provider's expense, an
opinion of independent counsel selected by the Indemnity Provider and reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Person stating that as a result of such change in
law (or interpretation thereof), it is more likely than not that the Indemnified
Person will prevail in such contest. In no event shall the Indemnity Provider be
permitted to adjust or settle any Claim without the consent of the Indemnified
Person to the extent any such adjustment or settlement involves, or is
reasonably likely to involve, any performance by or adverse admission by or with
respect to the Indemnified Person.
11.2. GENERAL TAX INDEMNITY.
(a) Subject to and limited by in all respects the provisions of
Sections 11.6 through 11.8 and Section 3.9(a) of the Trust Agreement, the
Indemnity Provider shall pay and assume liability for, and does hereby agree to
indemnify, protect and defend each Property and all Indemnified Persons, and
hold them harmless against, all Impositions on an After Tax Basis, and all
payments pursuant to the Operative Agreements shall be made free and clear of
and without deduction for any and all present and future Impositions.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.2(a)
hereof, the following shall be excluded from the indemnity required by Section
11.2(a) (collectively, the "Excluded Taxes"):
(i) Taxes (other than Taxes that are, or are in the nature of,
sales, use, rental, value added, transfer or property taxes) that
are imposed on a Indemnified Person (other than the Lessor, the
Owner Trustee and the Trust) by the United States federal government
that are based on or measured by the net income (including without
limitation taxes based on capital gains and minimum taxes) of such
Person; provided, that this clause (i) shall not be interpreted to
prevent a payment from being made on an After Tax Basis if such
payment is otherwise required to be so made;
(ii) Taxes (other than Taxes that are, or are in the nature of,
sales, use, rental, value added, transfer or property taxes) that
are imposed on any Indemnified Person (other than the Lessor, the
Owner Trustee and the Trust) by any state or local jurisdiction or
taxing authority within any state or local jurisdiction and that are
based upon or measured by the net income (including without
limitation taxes based on capital gains and minimum taxes) of such
Person; provided, however, that the Indemnity Provider shall not
have any obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Person for any
California unitary tax obligations of the Indemnified Person that
are not attributable to the payments received under the Operative
Agreements or otherwise attributable to the
55
<PAGE> 61
transactions contemplated thereby; provided, further, that such Taxes shall not
be excluded under this subparagraph (ii) to the extent such Taxes would have
been imposed had the location, possession or use of any Property in, the
location or the operation of the Lessee in, or the Lessee's making payments
under the Operative Agreements from, the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes been
the sole connection between such Indemnified Person and the jurisdiction
imposing such Taxes; provided, further, that this clause (ii) shall not be
interpreted to prevent a payment from being made on an After Tax Basis if such
payment is otherwise required to be so made;
(iii) any Tax to the extent it relates to any act, event or omission that
occurs after the termination of the Lease and redelivery or sale of the
Property in accordance with the terms of the Lease (but not any Tax that
relates to such termination, redelivery or sale and/or to any period prior to
such termination, redelivery or sale); and
(iv) any Taxes which are imposed on an Indemnified Person as a result of
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person itself,
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (as opposed to gross
negligence or willful misconduct imputed to such Indemnified Person), but not
Taxes imposed as a result of ordinary negligence of such Indemnified Person;
(c) (i) Subject to the terms of Section 11.2(f), the Indemnity Provider shall
pay or cause to be paid all Impositions directly to the taxing authorities
where feasible and otherwise to the Indemnified Person, as appropriate, and the
Indemnity Provider shall at its own expense, upon such Indemnified Person's
reasonable request, furnish to such Indemnified Person copies of official
receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payment.
(ii) In the case of Impositions for which no contest is conducted pursuant
to Section 11.2(f) and which the Indemnity Provider pays directly to the taxing
authorities, the Indemnity Provider shall pay such Impositions prior to the
latest time permitted by the relevant taxing authority for timely payment. In
the case of Impositions for which the Indemnity Provider reimburses an
Indemnified Person, the Indemnity Provider shall do so within thirty (30) days
after receipt by the Indemnity Provider of demand by such Indemnified Person
describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Imposition and the basis for
the demand (including without limitation the computation of the amount
payable), accompanied by receipts or other reasonable evidence of such demand.
In the case of Impositions for which a contest is conducted pursuant to Section
11.2(f), the Indemnity Provider shall pay such Impositions or reimburse such
Indemnified Person for such Impositions, to the extent not previously paid or
reimbursed pursuant to subsection (a), prior to the latest time permitted by
the relevant taxing authority for timely payment after conclusion of all
contests under Section 11.2(f).
56
<PAGE> 62
(iii) At the Indemnity Provider's request, the amount of any
indemnification payment by the Indemnity Provider pursuant to subsection
(a) shall be verified and certified by an independent public accounting
firm mutually acceptable to the Indemnity Provider and the Indemnified
Person. The fees and expenses of such independent public accounting firm
shall be paid by the Indemnity Provider unless such verification shall
result in an adjustment in the Indemnity Provider's favor of fifteen
percent (15%) or more of the payment as computed by the Indemnified Person,
in which case such fee shall be paid by the Indemnified Person.
(d) The Indemnity Provider shall be responsible for preparing and filing
any real and personal property or ad valorem tax returns in respect of each
Property and any other tax returns required for the Owner Trustee respecting the
transactions described in the Operative Agreements. In case any other report or
tax return shall be required to be made with respect to any obligations of the
Indemnity Provider under or arising out of subsection (a) and of which the
Indemnity Provider has knowledge or should have knowledge, the Indemnity
Provider, at its sole cost and expense, shall notify the relevant Indemnified
Person of such requirement and (except if such Indemnified Person notifies the
Indemnity Provider that such Indemnified Person intends to prepare and file such
report or return) (A) to the extent required or permitted by and consistent with
Legal Requirements, make and file in the Indemnity Provider's name such return,
statement or report; and (B) in the case of any other such return, statement or
report required to be made in the name of such Indemnified Person, advise such
Indemnified Person of such fact and prepare such return, statement or report for
filing by such Indemnified Person or, where such return, statement or report
shall be required to reflect items in addition to any obligations of the
Indemnity Provider under or arising out of subsection (a), provide such
Indemnified Person at the Indemnity Provider's expense with information
sufficient to permit such return, statement or report to be properly made with
respect to any obligations of the Indemnity Provider under or arising out of
subsection (a). Such Indemnified Person shall, upon the Indemnity Provider's
request and at the Indemnity Provider's expense, provide any data maintained by
such Indemnified Person (and not otherwise available to or within the control of
the Indemnity Provider) with respect to each Property which the Indemnity
Provider may reasonably require to prepare any required tax returns or reports.
(e) As between the Indemnity Provider on one hand, and each Financing
Party on the other hand, the Indemnity Provider shall be responsible for, and
the Indemnity Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless each Financing Party
(without duplication of any indemnification required by subsection (a)) on an
After Tax Basis against, any obligation for United States or foreign withholding
taxes or similar levies, imposts, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings
(collectively, "Withholdings") imposed in respect of the interest payable on
the Notes, Holder Yield payable on the Certificates or with respect to any
other payments under the Operative Agreements (all such payments being referred
to herein as "Exempt Payments" to be made without deduction, withholding or set
off) (and, if any Financing Party receives a demand for such payment
57
<PAGE> 63
from any taxing authority or a Withholding is otherwise required with respect
to any Exempt Payment, the Indemnity Provider shall discharge such demand on
behalf of such Financing Party); provided, however, that the obligation of the
Indemnity Provider under this Section 11.2(e) shall not apply to:
(i) Withholdings on any Exempt Payment to any Financing Party which
is a non-U.S. Person unless such Financing Party is, on the date hereof (or
on the date it becomes a Financing Party hereunder) and on the date of any
change in the principal place of business or the lending office of such
Financing Party, entitled to submit a Form 1001 (relating to such Financing
Party and entitling it to a complete exemption from Withholding on such
Exempt Payment) or Form 4224 or is otherwise subject to exemption from
Withholding with respect to such Exempt Payment (except where the failure
of the exemption results from a change in the principal place of business
of the Lessee; provided if a failure of exemption for any Financing Party
results from a change in the principal place of business or lending office
of any other Financing Party, then such other Financing Party shall be
liable for any Withholding or indemnity with respect thereto), or
(ii) Any U.S. Taxes imposed solely by reason of the failure by a
non-U.S. Person to comply with applicable certification, information,
documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality,
residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of
such non-U.S. Person if such compliance is required by statute or
regulation of the United States of America as a precondition to relief or
exemption from such U.S. Taxes.
For the purposes of this Section 11.2(e), (A) "U.S. Person" shall mean a
citizen, national or resident of the United States of America, a corporation,
partnership or other entity created or organized in or under any laws of the
Untied States of America or any State thereof, or any estate or trust that is
subject to Federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income, (B)
"U.S. Taxes" shall mean any present or future tax, assessment or other charge or
levy imposed by or on behalf of the United States of America or any taxing
authority thereof or therein, (C) "Form 1001" shall mean Form 1001 (Ownership,
Exemption, or Reduced Rate Certificate) of the Department of the Treasury of the
United States of America and (D) "Form 4224" shall mean Form 4224(R) (Exemption
from Withholding of Tax on Income Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a
Trade or Business in the United States) of the Department of Treasury of the
United States of America (or in relation to either such Form such successor and
related forms as may from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing
authorities of the United States of America to document a claim to which such
Form relates). Each of the Forms referred to in the foregoing clauses (C) and
(D) shall include such successor and related forms as may from time to time be
adopted by the relevant taxing authorities of the United States of America to
document a claim to which such Form relates.
If a Financing Party or an Affiliate with whom such Financing Party files
a consolidated tax return (or equivalent) subsequently receives the benefit in
any country of
58
<PAGE> 64
a tax credit or an allowance resulting from U.S. Taxes with respect to which it
has received a payment of an additional amount under this Section 11.2(e), such
Financing Party will pay to the Indemnity Provider such part of that benefit as
in the opinion of such Financing Party will leave it (after such payment) in a
position no more and no less favorable than it would have been in if no
additional payment had been required to be paid, provided always that (i) such
Financing Party will be the sole judge of the amount of any such benefit and of
the date on which it is received, (ii) such Financing Party will have the
absolute discretion as to the order and manner in which it employs or claims
tax credits and allowances available to it and (iii) such Financing Party will
not be obliged to disclose to the Indemnity Provider any information regarding
its tax affairs or tax computations.
Each non-U.S. Person that shall become a Financing Party after the date
hereof shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer or otherwise upon
becoming a Financing Party hereunder, be required to provide all of the forms
and statements referenced above or other evidences of exemption from
Withholdings.
(f) If a written Claim is made against any Indemnified Person or if any
proceeding shall be commenced against such Indemnified Person (including
without limitation a written notice of such proceeding), for any Impositions,
the provisions in Section 11.1 relating to notification and rights to contest
shall apply; provided, however, that the Indemnity Provider shall have the
right to conduct and control such contest only if such contest involves a Tax
other than a Tax on net income of the Indemnified Person and can be pursued
independently from any other proceeding involving a Tax liability of such
Indemnified Person.
11.3. INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY, ETC.
(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any
guideline or request hereafter adopted, promulgated or made by any central
bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law),
there shall be any increase in the cost to any Financing Party of agreeing to
make or making, funding or maintaining Advances, then the Lessee shall from
time to time, upon demand by such Financing Party (with a copy of such demand
to the Agent but subject to the terms of Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement
and 3.9 of the Trust Agreement, as the case may be), pay to the Agent for the
account of such Financing Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate
such Financing Party for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of
such increased cost, submitted to the Lessee and the Agent by such Financing
Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) If any Financing Party determines that compliance with any law or
regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law, but in each
case promulgated or made after the date hereof) affects or would affect the
amount of capital required or expected to
59
<PAGE> 65
be maintained by such Financing Party or any corporation controlling such
Financing Party and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based
upon the existence of such Financing Party's commitment to make Advances and
other commitments of this type or upon the Advances, then, upon demand by such
Financing Party (with a copy of such demand to the Agent but subject to the
terms of Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement and 3.9 of the Trust Agreement),
the Lessee shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Financing Party, from
time to time as specified by such Financing Party, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Financing Party or such corporation in the light
of such circumstances, to the extent that such Financing Party reasonably
determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such
Financing Party's commitment to make such Advances. A certificate as to such
amounts submitted to the Lessee and the Agent by such Financing Party shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the Lessee shall pay to
each Financing Party on the last day of the Interest Period therefor so long as
such Financing Party is maintaining reserves against "Eurocurrency liabilities"
under Regulation D an additional amount (determined by such Financing Party and
notified to the Lessee through the Agent) equal to the product of the following
for each Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar Holder Advance, as the case may be, for
each day during such Interest Period:
(i) the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar Holder
Advance, as the case may be, outstanding on such day; and
(ii) the remainder of (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the
rate (expressed as a decimal) at which interest accrues on such Eurodollar Loan
or Eurodollar Holder Advance, as the case may be, for such Interest Period as
provided in the Credit Agreement or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be
(less the Applicable Percentage), and the denominator of which is one (1) minus
the effective rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements
are imposed on such Financing Party on such day minus (y) such numerator; and
(iii) 1/360.
(d) Without affecting its rights under Sections 11.3(a), 11.3(b) or
11.3(c) or any other provision of any Operative Agreement, each Financing Party
agrees that if there is any increase in any cost to or reduction in any amount
receivable by such Financing Party with respect to which the Lessee would be
obligated to compensate such Financing Party pursuant to Sections 11.3(a) or
11.3(b), such Financing Party shall use reasonable efforts to select an
alternative office for Advances which would not result in any such increase in
any cost to or reduction in any amount receivable by such Financing Party;
provided, however, that no Financing Party shall be obligated to select an
alternative office for Advances if such Financing Party determines that (i) as
a result of such selection such Financing Party would be in violation of any
applicable law, regulation, treaty, or guideline, or would incur additional
costs or expenses or (ii) such selection
60
<PAGE> 66
would be inadvisable for regulatory reasons or materially inconsistent with the
interests of such Financing Party.
(e) With reference to the obligations of the Lessee set forth in Sections
11.3(a) through 11.3(d), the Lessee shall not have any obligation to pay to any
Financing Party amounts owing under such Sections for any period which is more
than one (1) year prior to the date upon which the request for payment therefor
is delivered to the Lessee.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any
Financing Party shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change
in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any
central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for
any Financing Party to perform its obligations hereunder to make or maintain
Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Holder Advances, as the case may be, then (i)
each Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar Holder Advance, as the case may be, will
automatically, at the earlier of the end of the Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar Holder Advance, as the case may be, or the date
required by law, convert into an ABR Loan or an ABR Holder Advance, as the case
may be, and (iii) the obligation of the Financing Parties to make, convert or
continue Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Holder Advances, as the case may be,
shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Lessee that such Financing
Party has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer
exist.
(g) If, with respect to any Advances consisting of Eurodollar Loans and
Eurodollar Holder Advances required by the Borrower, the Agent or the Majority
Secured Parties shall have determined in good faith (which determination
shall, save for manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower)
that (a) deposits of sufficient amount and maturity for funding such Advances
are not available to the Lenders or the Holders in the relevant market in the
ordinary course of business or (b) by reason of circumstances affecting the
relevant market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate
of interest to be applicable to such Advances, then (i) the Agent or the
Majority Secured Parties, as the case may be, shall promptly give notice
thereof to the Borrower, (ii) the notice requesting such Borrowing shall,
unless the Borrower otherwise notifies the Agent, automatically be amended to
request ABR Loans and ABR Holder Advances instead of Eurodollar Loans and
Eurodollar Holder Advances, and (iii) no Lender or Holder, as the case may be,
shall be under any obligation to make additional Eurodollar Loans and
Eurodollar Holder Advances to the Borrower, unless and until the Agent shall
have notified the Borrower that such Eurodollar Loans and Eurodollar Holder
Advances are again available hereunder.
11.4. FUNDING/CONTRIBUTION INDEMNITY.
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(a) of the Credit Agreement and
3.9(a) of the Trust Agreement, as the case may be, the Lessee agrees to
indemnify each Financing Party and to hold each Financing Party harmless from
any loss or reasonable expense which such Financing Party may sustain or incur
as a consequence of (a) any default in connection with the drawing of
61
<PAGE> 67
funds for any Advance, (b) any default in making any repayment after a notice
thereof has been given in accordance with the provisions of the Operative
Agreements or (c) the making of a voluntary or involuntary payment of Eurodollar
Loans or Eurodollar Holder Advances, as the case may be, on a day which is not
the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification
shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest
or Holder Yield, as the case may be, which would have accrued on the amount so
paid, or not so borrowed, accepted, converted or continued for the period from
the date of such payment or of such failure to borrow, accept, convert or
continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure
to borrow, accept, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have
commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable Eurodollar
Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for such Loan or Holder Advance, as the case
may be, for such Interest Period over (y) the amount of interest (as determined
by such Financing Party in its reasonable discretion) which would have accrued
to such Financing Party on such amount by (i) (in the case of the Lenders)
reemploying such funds in loans of the same type and amount during the period

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.5 (other than

immediately preceding parenthetical phrase) with respect to each Property solely
for the period prior to the earlier to occur of the applicable Completion Date
or Construction Period Termination Date for such Property, as applicable, and
(b) such limited rights of indemnification referenced in Section 11.7(a) (to the
extent relating to third-party claims) shall be limited to third-party claims

all other Persons acting by, through or under the Indemnity Provider. After the

INDEMNIFIED PERSONS.
To the extent the Indemnity Provider is not obligated to indemnify each
Indemnified Person with respect to the various matters described in this Section
11.8, the Owner Trustee shall provide such indemnities (but only to the extent
amounts sufficient to pay such indemnity are funded by the Lenders and the
Holders) in favor of each Indemnified Person in accordance with this Section
11.8 and shall pay all such amounts owed with respect to this Section 11.8 with
amounts advanced by the Lenders and the Holders(a) to the extent, but only to

Commitments and the Available Holder Commitments (subject to the rights of the
Lenders and the Holders to increase their respective commitment amounts in

each Holder has declined in writing to fund such amount. Notwithstanding any
other provision in any other Operative Agreement to the contrary, all
63
<PAGE> 69
amounts so advanced shall be deemed added (ratably, based on the ratio of the
Property Cost for each Property individually to the Aggregate Property Cost of
all Properties at such time) to the Property Cost of all Properties then

Whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
consummated, the Owner Trustee hereby assumes liability for and agrees to
defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person on an After Tax
Basis from and against any Claims, which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against an Indemnified Person by any third party, including without
limitation Claims arising from the negligence of an Indemnified Person (but not
to the extent such Claims arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Indemnified Person itself, as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction, as opposed to gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed to
such Indemnified Person or breach of such Indemnified Person's obligations
under this Agreement, the Lease or any other Operative Agreement) in any way
relating to or arising or alleged to arise out of the execution, delivery,
performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Lease or any other Operative

elect to decline the funding of any Transaction Expense with respect to Sections
7.1(a) or 7.1(b), elect to decline the funding of any indemnity payment by the
Owner Trustee with respect to Section 11.8 or increase the amount or extend the
expiration date of such Lender's Commitment or the Holder Commitment of such
Holder, or (ii) terminate, amend, supplement, waive or modify any provision of
this Section 12.4 or reduce the percentages specified in the definitions of
Majority Lenders, Majority Holders or Majority Secured Parties, or consent to
the assignment or transfer by the Owner Trustee of any of its rights and

Collateral (except in accordance with Section 8.8) or release any Credit Party
from its obligations under any Operative Agreement or otherwise alter any

under the Operative Agreements, or (iii) terminate, amend, supplement, waive or
modify any provision of Section 7 of the Credit Agreement (which shall also

certain liquidated damages in exchange for the conveyance of a Property to the
Construction Agent, or (v) permit the extension of the Construction Period

to each of the Lenders and the Holders and shall be binding upon all the parties
to this Agreement. In the case of any waiver, each party to this Agreement shall
be restored to its former position and rights under the Operative Agreements,
and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
If at a time when the conditions precedent set forth in the Operative
Agreements to any Loan are, in the opinion of the Majority Lenders, satisfied,
any Lender shall fail to fulfill its obligations to make such Loan (any such
Lender, a "Defaulting Lender") then, for so long as such failure shall continue,
the Defaulting Lender shall (unless the Lessee and the Majority Lenders,
determined as if the Defaulting Lender were not a "Lender", shall otherwise
consent in writing) be deemed for all purposes relating to terminations,
amendments, supplements, waivers or modifications under the Operative Agreements
to have no Loans, shall not be treated as a "Lender" when performing the
computation of Majority Lenders or Majority Secured Parties, and shall have no
rights under this Section 12.4; provided that any action taken pursuant to the
second paragraph of this Section 12.4 shall not be effective as against the
Defaulting Lender.
If at a time when the conditions precedent set forth in the Operative
Agreements to any Holder Advance are, in the opinion of the Majority Holders,
satisfied, any Holder shall fail to fulfill its obligations to make such Holder
Advance (any such Holder, a "Defaulting Holder") then, for so long as such
failure shall continue, the Defaulting Holder shall (unless the Lessee and the
Majority Holders, determined as if the Defaulting Holder were not a "Holder",
shall
67
<PAGE> 73
otherwise consent in writing) be deemed for all purposes relating to
terminations, amendments, supplements, waivers or modifications under the
Operative Agreements to have no Holder Advances, shall not be treated as a
"Holder" when performing the computation of Majority Holders or Majority
Secured Parties, and shall have no rights under this Section 12.4; provided

[Outside Counsel Opinion for the Owner Trustee]
(Pursuant to Section 5.3(dd) of the
Participation Agreement)
----------------, ----
TO THOSE ON THE ATTACHED DISTRIBUTION LIST
Re: Trust Agreement dated as of April 23, 1999
Dear Sirs:
We have acted as special counsel for First Security Bank, National
Association, a national banking association, in its individual capacity ("FSB")
and in its capacity as trustee (the "Owner Trustee") under the Trust Agreement
dated as of April 23, 1999 (the "Trust Agreement") by and among it and the
various banks and other lending institutions which are parties thereto from time
to time, as holders (the "Holders"), in connection with the execution and
delivery by the Owner Trustee of the Operative Agreements to which it is a
party. Except as otherwise defined herein, the terms used herein shall have the
meanings set forth in Appendix A to the Participation Agreement dated as of
April 23, 1999 (the "Participation Agreement") by and among Veritas Software
Corporation (the "Lessee"), the various parties thereto from time to time, as
guarantors (the "Guarantors"), First Security Bank, National Association, as the
Owner Trustee, the Holders, the various banks and other lending institutions
which are parties thereto from time to time, as lenders (the "Lenders") and
NationsBank, N.A., as the agent for the Lenders and respecting the Security
Documents, as the agent for the Lenders and the Holders, to the extent of their
interests (the "Agent").
We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to
our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as
we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. FSB is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America and each of
FSB and the Owner Trustee has under the laws of the State of Utah and federal
banking law the power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations
under the Trust Agreement and each other Operative Agreement to which it is a
party.
2. The Owner Trustee is the duly appointed trustee under the Trust
Agreement.
G-1
<PAGE> 118
3. The Trust Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by one (1) of the officers of FSB and, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the Holders, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Owner
Trustee (and to the extent set forth therein, against FSB), enforceable against
the Owner Trustee (and to the extent set forth therein, against FSB) in
accordance with its terms, and the Trust Agreement creates under the laws of the
State of Utah for the Holders the beneficial interest in the Trust Estate it
purports to create and is a valid trust under the laws of the State of Utah.
4. The Operative Agreements to which it is party have been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by FSB, and, assuming due authorization,
execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, are legal, valid and
binding obligations of FSB, enforceable against FSB in accordance with their
respective terms.
5. The Operative Agreements to which it is party have been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by Owner Trustee, and, assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, are legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Owner Trustee, enforceable against the
Owner Trustee in accordance with their respective terms. The Notes and
Certificates have been duly issued, executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee,
pursuant to authorization contained in the Trust Agreement, and the Certificates
are entitled to the benefits and security afforded by the Trust Agreement in
accordance with its terms and the terms of the Trust Agreement.
6. The execution and delivery by each of FSB and the Owner Trustee of the
Trust Agreement and the Operative Agreements to which it is a party, and
compliance by FSB or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, with all of the
provisions thereof do not and will not contravene any Laws applicable to or
binding on FSB, or as the Owner Trustee, or contravene the provisions of, or
constitute a default under, its charter documents or by-laws or, to our
knowledge after due inquiry, any indenture, mortgage contract or other agreement
or instrument to which FSB or Owner Trustee is a party or by which it or any of
its property may be bound or affected.
7. The execution and delivery of the Operative Agreements by each of FSB
and the Owner Trustee and the performance by each of FSB and the Owner Trustee
of their respective obligations thereunder does not require on or prior to the
date hereof the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
registration or filing with, or the taking of any action in respect of any
Governmental Authority or any court.
8. Assuming that the trust created by the Trust Agreement is treated as a
grantor trust for federal income tax purposes within the contemplation of
Section 671 through 678 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, there are no fees,
taxes, or other charges (except taxes imposed on fees payable to the Owner
Trustee) payable to the State of Utah or any political subdivision thereof in
connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Owner Trustee, the
Agent, the Lenders, the Lessee or the Holders, as the case may be, of the
Operative Agreements or in connection with the acquisition of any Property by
the Owner Trustee or in connection with the making by any Holder of its
investment in the Trust or its acquisition of the beneficial
G-2
<PAGE> 119
interest in the Trust Estate or in connection with the issuance and acquisition
of the Certificates, or the Notes, and neither the Owner Trustee, the Trust
Estate nor the trust created by the Trust Agreement will be subject to any fee,
tax or other governmental charge (except taxes on fees payable to the Owner
Trustee) under the laws of the State of Utah or any political subdivision
thereof on, based on or measured by, directly or indirectly, the gross
receipts, net income or value of the Trust Estate by reason of the creation or
continued existence of the trust under the terms of the Trust Agreement
pursuant to the laws of the State of Utah or the Owner Trustee's performance of
its duties under the Trust Agreement.
9. There is no fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of the
State of Utah or any political subdivision thereof in existence on the date
hereof on, based on or measured by any payments under the Certificates, Notes or
the beneficial interest in the Trust Estate, by reason of the creation of the
trust under the Trust Agreement pursuant to the laws of the State of Utah or the
Owner Trustee's performance of its duties under the Trust Agreement within the
State of Utah.
10. Upon the filing of the financing statement on form UCC-1 in the form
attached hereto as Schedule 1 with the Utah Division of Corporation and
Commercial Code, the Agent's security interest in the Trust Estate, for the
benefit of the Lenders and the Holders, will be perfected, to the extent that
such perfection is governed by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect in the State of Utah (the "Utah UCC").
Your attention is directed to the Utah UCC, which provides, in part, that a
filed financing statement which does not state a maturity date or which states a
maturity date of more than five (5) years is effective only for a period of five
(5) years from the date of filing, unless within six (6) months prior to the
expiration of said period a continuation statement is filed in the same office
or offices in which the original statement was filed. The continuation statement
must be signed by the secured party, identify the original statement by file
number and state that the original statement is still effective. Upon the timely
filing of a continuation statement, the effectiveness of the original financing
statement is continued for five (5) years after the last date to which the
original statement was effective. Succeeding continuation statements may be
filed in the same manner to continue the effectiveness of the original
statement.
The foregoing opinions are subject to the following assumptions, exceptions and
qualifications:
A. We are attorneys admitted to practice in the State of Utah and in
rendering the foregoing opinions we have not passed upon, or purported to pass
upon, the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Utah and the federal
banking law governing the banking and trust powers of FSB. In addition, without
limiting the foregoing we express no opinion with respect to (i) federal
securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended, (ii) the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, (iii) the
Federal Communications Act of 1934, as amended, or (iv) state securities or blue
sky laws. Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the legality, validity,
binding effect and enforceability of the documents involved in these
transactions, which by their terms are governed by the laws of a state other
than Utah, we have
G-3
<PAGE> 120
assumed that the laws of such state (as to which we express no opinion), are in
all material aspects identical to the laws of the State of Utah.
B. The opinions set forth in paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 above are subject to
the qualification that enforceability of the Trust Agreement and the other
Operative Agreements to which FSB and the Owner Trustee are parties, in
accordance with their respective terms, may be limited by (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership or similar laws affecting
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (ii) general principles of
equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law.
C. As to the documents involved in these transactions, we have assumed
that each is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each party thereto, other
than FSB or the Owner Trustee, and is enforceable against each such party in
accordance with their respective terms.
D. We have assumed that all signatures, other than those of the Owner
Trustee or FSB, on documents and instruments involved in these transactions are
genuine, that all documents and instruments submitted to us as originals are
authentic, and that all documents and instruments submitted to us as copies
conform with the originals, which facts we have not independently verified.
E. We do not purport to be experts in respect of, or express any opinion
concerning laws, rules or regulations applicable to the particular nature of the
equipment or property involved in these transactions.
F. We have made no investigation of, and we express no opinion
concerning, the nature of the title to any part of the equipment or property
involved in these transactions or the priority of any mortgage or security
interest.
G. We have assumed that the Participation Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby are not within the prohibitions of Section 406 of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
H. In addition to any other limitation by operation of law upon the
scope, meaning, or purpose of this opinion, the opinions expressed herein speak
only as of the date hereof. We have no obligation to advise the recipients of
this opinion (or any third party) and make no undertaking to amend or supplement
such opinions if facts come to our attention or changes in the current law of
the jurisdictions mentioned herein occur which could affect such opinions the
legal analysis, a legal conclusion or any information confirmation herein.
I. This opinion is for the sole benefit of the Lessee, the Construction
Agent, the Guarantors, the Owner Trustee, the Holders, the Lenders, the Agent
and their respective successors and assigns in matters directly related to the
Participation Agreement or the transaction contemplated thereunder and may not
be relied upon by any other person other than such parties and their respective
successors and assigns without the express written consent of

matter set forth in this letter, and no other opinions should be inferred
beyond the matters expressly stated.

TO THOSE ON THE ATTACHED DISTRIBUTION LIST
Re: Synthetic Lease Financing Provided in favor of Veritas Software
Corporation
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have acted as general counsel to Veritas Software Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Lessee") in connection with certain transactions contemplated
by the Participation Agreement dated as of April , 1999 (the "Participation
Agreement"), among the Lessee, the various parties thereto from time to time as
guarantors (the "Guarantors"), First Security Bank, National Association, as the
Owner Trustee (the "Owner Trustee"), the various banks and other lending
institutions which are parties thereto from time to time, as holders (the
"Holders"), the various banks and other lending institutions which are parties
thereto from time to time, as lenders (the "Lenders") and NationsBank, N.A., as
the agent for the Lenders and respecting the Security Documents, as the agent
for the Lenders and the Holders, to the extent of their interests (the "Agent").
This opinion is delivered pursuant to Section 5.3(ee) of the Participation
Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise defined herein,
shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Appendix A to the Participation
Agreement.
In connection with the foregoing, I have examined originals, or copies
certified to my satisfaction, of such corporate documents and records of the
Lessee, certificates of public officials and representatives of the Lessee as
to certain factual matters, and such other instruments and documents which I
have deemed necessary or advisable to examine for the purpose of this opinion.
With respect to such examination, I have assumed (i) the statements of fact
made in all such certificates, documents and instruments are true, accurate and
complete; (ii) the genuineness of all signatures (other than the signatures of
persons signing on behalf of the Lessee) and (iii) the authenticity and
completeness of all documents, certificates, instruments, records and corporate
records submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the original
instruments of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity
and completeness of the originals of such copies.
Based on the foregoing, and having due regard for such legal
considerations as I deem relevant, and subject to the limitations and
assumptions set forth herein, I am of the opinion that:
H-1
<PAGE> 124
1. Lessee has the corporate power and authority to conduct its business
as presently conducted.
2. Lessee (i) is not subject to, or is exempt from, regulation under (A)
the Federal Power Act, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 or other
federal or state laws and regulations applicable to public utilities. (B) any
federal or state laws and regulations applicable to banks, finance companies
and other financial institutions, or (C) any other federal or state laws and
regulations limiting Lessee's ability to borrow money; and (ii) is not an
investment company or a company controlled by an investment company, within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein and no opinion is implied
or may be inferred beyond the matters stated herein. This opinion is based on
and is limited to the laws of the State of California and the federal laws of
the United States of America. Insofar as the foregoing opinion relates to
matters of law other than the foregoing, no opinion is hereby given.
This opinion is for the sole benefit of the addressees and their respective
successors and assigns and may not be relied upon by any other person other
than such parties and their respective successors and assigns without the
express written consent of the undersigned. The opinions expressed herein are
as of the date hereof and I make no undertaking to amend or supplement such
opinions if facts come to my attention or changes in the current law of the
jurisdictions mentioned herein occur which could affect such opinions.

Security Documents and the documents listed above as documents 14-18 are
collectively referred to herein as the "OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS." This opinion is
being delivered to you pursuant to Section 5.3(ee) of the Participation
Agreement. The Agent, Lenders and Holders are sometimes collectively referred
to herein as the "LENDER PARTIES." Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized
terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in
Appendix A of the Participation Agreement.
For purposes of this opinion, we have examined the following documents:
1. Executed copies of the Operative Documents;
2. An executed copy of the Certificate of Lessee ("CERTIFICATE OF
LESSEE"), executed by Jay A. Jones, the Secretary of Lessee, for the benefit of
the undersigned, dated April 23, 1999 a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit A;
3. A copy of the Certificate of Incorporation of Lessee, certified by the

The documents listed above as documents 3, 4 and 7 are collectively
referred to herein as the "CONSTITUENT DOCUMENTS."
We represent Lessee only with respect to specific matters and our
relationship with Lessee is such that we have no detailed or continuing
familiarity with any of its day-to-day operations, business or financial
affairs. Although attorneys in our firm have been involved in the governmental
approval process for the Property, we have made no independent review of that
process, nor have we made any physical inspection of the Property, nor have we
undertaken independent investigation respecting any fire or public health laws
or compliance with the regulations of any insurance company. Our opinion is
based exclusively upon a review of the
<PAGE> 130
To Each of the Parties April 23, 1999
Listed on Schedule A Page 5
Attached Hereto
Operative Documents, the Constituent Documents, the Certificate of Lessee and
the Certificates of the Secretaries of State referred to above, (and for
purposes of our opinion in Paragraph 3 below, any Material Agreements identified
in the Certificate of Lessee). In addition, we have relied upon the
representations and warranties of Lessee set forth in the Certificate of Lessee
with respect to the factual determinations underlying the legal conclusions set
forth herein.
Whenever any opinion expressed herein with respect to the existence or
absence of facts is qualified by the phrase "to our current actual knowledge,"
such knowledge is limited solely to (i) the representations of Lessee set forth
in the Certificate of Lessee and the Operative Documents, (ii) an examination of
documents in those of our files solely related to the Transaction and (iii) the
actual knowledge of those attorneys in our firm who have substantively
represented Lessee with respect to the Transaction (but not including any
constructive or imputed notice of any information) or who have had an active
involvement in the preparation of this opinion ("Primary Lawyer Group"). We have
not attempted to verify independently the representations of Lessee; and we have
not conducted any investigation, nor do we intend to undertake for purposes of
this opinion any investigation, of any facts that may be ascertained by the
examination of all of the other files or attorneys of our firm or any court
files or third parties.
In our examination and review we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures other than the officers of Lessee, the legal capacity of natural
persons, the authenticity of the documents submitted to us as originals, the
conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as
certified, facsimile or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the
originals of such copies.
The law covered by the opinions expressed herein is limited to the federal
law of the United States and the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, the laws of the State of New York and the laws of the State of
California, in each case as expressly provided below. We express no opinion with
respect to the effect or applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
For purposes of our opinions expressed in Paragraph 1 below, with respect
to due incorporation, valid existence and good standing of Lessee, we are
relying solely on our review and examination of the certificates received from
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and the Secretary of State of
the State of California, without further investigation of the corporate records
of Lessee. Our opinions expressed in Paragraphs 1 and 2 below relate solely to
the laws of the State of California, the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, and applicable federal laws of the United States, and we express no
opinion in Paragraphs 1 and 2 below with respect to the effect or applicability
of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
<PAGE> 131
To Each of the Parties April 23, 1999

Our opinions expressed in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Paragraph 3 below are
limited to laws and regulations normally applicable to transactions of the type
contemplated in the Operative Documents and do not extend to licenses, permits
and approvals necessary for the development of the Property or the conduct of
Lessee's business.
Our opinions expressed in Paragraphs 4(a) and 9(a) below relate solely to
the laws of the State of New York (and, in the case of Paragraph 9(a) insofar as
matters of California law are relevant to the opinions relating to perfection
expressed therein, the laws of the State of California), and we express no
opinion in Paragraphs 4(a) and 9(a) below with respect to the effect or
applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Such opinion is limited to
laws and regulations normally applicable to transactions of the type
contemplated in the Operative Documents and do not extend to licenses, permits
and approvals necessary for the conduct of Lessee's business. We have made no
investigation of New York law with respect to the creation of any leasehold
estate, with respect to the creation, perfection or priority of any real estate
lien or security interest in real property, or with respect to the exercise of
any remedies relating to any leasehold estate, real estate lien or security
interest in real property, nor have we consulted with counsel admitted to
practice law in the State of New York regarding such matters, and we express no
opinion herein relating to New York law with respect to any such matters.
Our opinions expressed in Paragraphs 4(b), 6, 7, 8, 9(b), 10, 11, 12 and 13
below relate solely to the laws of the State of California (except for the
opinions expressed in Paragraph 11 below which also relate to the federal laws
of the United States), and we express no opinion in Paragraphs 4(b), 6, 7, 8,
9(b), 10, 11, 12 and 13 below with respect to the effect or applicability of the
laws of any other jurisdiction (except as expressly set forth in this sentence).
Such opinions are limited to laws and regulations normally applicable to
transactions involving California real property interests as contemplated in the
Operative Documents. We invite your attention to the fact that the Operative
Documents state that they are governed by the law of the State of New York. We
have not, for purposes of our opinions expressed in Paragraphs 4(b), 6, 7, 8,
9(b), 10, 11, 12 and 13 examined the question of, and express no opinion as to,
what law would govern the interpretation, characterization or enforcement of the
Operative Documents, and our opinions with regard to the Operative Documents in
Paragraphs 4(b), 6, 7, 8, 9(b), 10, 11, 12 and 13 respectively, are based on the
assumption that the internal law of the State of California would govern the
provisions thereof, and in addition, in the case of Paragraphs 6 and 7, upon the
assumptions set forth therein, respectively.
Insofar as our opinion expressed in Paragraph 13 below concerns the law of
the State of California limiting the rates of interest legally chargeable or
collectible, we have relied upon our understanding that each of the Lender
Parties (as defined below) is a subsidiary of a bank holding company or is a
bank organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof and, as
a result thereof, is exempt from the restrictions of Section 1 of Article XV of
the
<PAGE> 132
To Each of the Parties
Listed on Schedule A April 23, 1999
Attached Hereto Page 7
Constitution of the State of California relating to rates of interest upon the
loan of money. We further assume in this regard that all Advances have been and
will be made by each of the Lender Parties for its own account and without
intent to circumvent otherwise applicable interest rate limitations under
California law and that there is no present express or implied agreement or
plan to sell participations or any other interest in the Operative Documents to
any Person other than a Person that also qualifies for an exemption from the
interest rate limitations of California law.
In addition and without limiting the previous six paragraphs, we express
no opinion herein with respect to the effect of any pension, employee benefit
or tax laws (except as provided in Paragraph 10 below), or any zoning or
similar land use law, any state or federal antitrust law, state or federal
securities laws. Further, we express no opinion as to compliance or
noncompliance by Lessor, Agent, Holders or Lenders with any federal, state or
other law (i) requiring any of Lessor, Agent, Holders or Lenders to be licensed
as a bank, finance company or other type of financial institution, (ii)
pertaining to matters regulating the assets held by the Lenders on the basis of
portfolio requirements or Lessor's, Agent's, Holders' or Lenders'
capitalization, such as loan limits and capital adequacy requirements, and
(iii) otherwise applicable to Lessor, Agent, Holders or Lenders and relating to
their legal or regulatory status or the nature of their business.
In rendering this opinion, with your permission and without independent
investigation (unless otherwise noted), we are making and relying on the
following assumptions:
<PAGE> 133
To Each of the Parties April 23, 1999
Listed on Schedule A Page 8
Attached Hereto
A. THERE ARE NO DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS THAT WOULD MODIFY OR CONFLICT WITH THE
OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS, BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES THERETO AND/OR ANY
OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY ("Person");
B. EACH OF LESSOR, AGENT, EACH HOLDER AND EACH LENDER IS DULY ORGANIZED, VALIDLY
EXISTING AND IN GOOD STANDING UNDER THE LAWS OF ITS RESPECTIVE JURISDICTION OF
FORMATION AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT JURISDICTION, AND HAS ALL REQUISITE POWER AND
AUTHORITY TO CARRY ON ITS BUSINESS AS NOW CONDUCTED, TO ENTER INTO THE OPERATIVE
DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY AND TO CARRY OUT THE TERMS AND TO EXERCISE THE
REMEDIES OF THE OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY;
C. ALL OF THE OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES, RESPECTIVELY, HAVE
BEEN DULY AUTHORIZED, EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY LESSOR, AGENT, EACH HOLDER AND
EACH LENDER, AND ALL THE OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES,
RESPECTIVELY, ARE LEGAL, VALID, BINDING AND ENFORCEABLE AS TO LESSOR (EXCEPT FOR
PURPOSES OF OUR OPINIONS IN PARAGRAPHS 4, 8 AND 9 BELOW AS SET FORTH IN SUCH
OPINIONS), AGENT, EACH HOLDER AND EACH LENDER; AND
D. LESSOR, AGENT, EACH HOLDER AND EACH LENDER HAS FILED ANY REQUIRED CALIFORNIA
AND NEW YORK STATE FRANCHISE, INCOME OR SIMILAR TAX RETURNS AND HAS PAID ANY
REQUIRED CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK STATE FRANCHISE, INCOME OR SIMILAR TAXES.
Based upon the foregoing and our reliance thereon and having regard for
legal considerations which we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:
1. Lessee is a duly incorporated and validly existing corporation in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, is in good standing as a
foreign corporation in the State of California and has the corporate power and
authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Operative
Documents to which it is or is to be a party and each other agreement,
instrument and document to be executed and delivered by it in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents.
2. Lessee has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Documents to which it is a
party and has duly executed and delivered each Operative Document to which it is
a party.
3. The execution and delivery by Lessee of the Operative Documents to which
it is a party and compliance by Lessee with the material provisions thereto, do
not and will not (i) violate or conflict with the Lessee Certificate of
Incorporation or the Lessee Bylaws, (ii) to our current actual knowledge,
conflict with, or require any consents, authorizations, registrations,
declarations or filings (except as may relate to the perfection of liens or
security interests) by Lessee under, the laws of any state having applicability
to Lessee, as presently in effect and interpreted, or any order of any
Governmental Authority applicable to or binding on Lessee, (iii) conflict with,
or require any consents, authorizations, registrations, declarations or
<PAGE> 134
To Each of the Parties April 23, 1999
Listed on Schedule A Page 9
Attached Hereto
filings (except as may relate to the perfection of liens or security interests)
by Lessee, or any stockholders, or any trustee or holder of indebtedness, of
the Lessee (except for such approvals and consents which have been already
obtained), under the laws of the State of California or, to our current actual
knowledge, the State of New York having applicability to Lessee, in each case
as presently in effect and interpreted, (iv) to our current actual knowledge,
conflict with or constitute a violation of any court orders, writs, judgments
or decrees of any court, or any arbitrator or governmental agency or authority,
(v) constitute a material breach of any Material Agreement (as defined in the
Certificate of Lessee) to which Lessee is a party or by which Lessee is bound
or, to our current actual knowledge, any other agreement or instrument to which
Lessee is a party or by which Lessee or any of its properties may be bound or
affected, or (vi) result in the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted
Liens and Lessor Liens) upon the Property under the express terms of the Lessee
Certificate of Incorporation, the Lessee Bylaws or, to our current actual
knowledge, any other agreement or instrument to which Lessee is a party or by
which any of its properties may be bound or affected.
4. (a) Under the laws of the State of New York, the Operative Documents
(other than the Lease) to which Lessee and/or Lessor is a party constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligation of Lessee, enforceable against Lessee and
the Lessor in accordance with their terms.
(b) Under the laws of the State of California, the Operative
Documents (other than the Lease) to which Lessee and/or Lessor is a party
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Lessee, enforceable
against Lessee and Lessor in accordance with their terms.
5. We have no current actual knowledge of any pending or threatened
actions, suits, litigation or other proceedings against Lessee or the Property
before any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority that question or
challenge the legality, validity or enforceability of the Operative Documents
or the Transaction, that concern the Property or the Lessee's interest therein
or which, if determined adversely to Lessee, would be likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect (as defined in the Certificate of Lessee) on Lessee.
6. Assuming that the Transaction, insofar as the Lease is concerned, is
recharacterized by a court of competent jurisdiction as a loan from Lessor or
Lessee, (i) the Lease constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of
Lessee, enforceable against Lessee in accordance with its terms, and (ii)
Lessee's obligations to make the payments characterized as "Basic Rent" and
"Supplemental Rent" under the Lease will entitle Lessor to pursue its rights
and remedies under the Loan Documents against the Collateral covered thereby
upon a material breach of such obligations (provided, however, we express no
opinion as to the nature or characterization of such payments as "Basic Rent"
or "Supplemental Rent" or otherwise).

7. Assuming that the Transaction, insofar as the Lease is concerned, is
characterized by a court of competent jurisdiction as an operating lease between
Lessor and Lessee, (i) the Lease constitutes a legally valid and binding
obligation of Lessee, enforceable against Lessee in accordance with its terms,
(ii) the Lease and the applicable Lease Supplement are in a form sufficient to
demise to Lessee a valid leasehold interest in the Property described in such
Lease Supplement and (iii) the Lessee's obligations to make the payments
characterized as "Basic Rent" and "Supplemental Rent" under the Lease are
enforceable; provided, however, we express no opinion as to the nature or
characterization of such payments as "Basic Rent" or "Supplemental Rent" or
otherwise; and further provided that we express no opinion as to the
enforceability of the Lease remedies obligating Lessee to pay the Termination
Value or any other amount in excess of accrued and unpaid "Basic Rent,"
including, but not limited to, the availability to Lessor of any rights or
remedies under the Lease with respect to payments of "Supplemental Rent", where
a court of competent jurisdiction has not recharacterized the Transaction,
insofar as the Lease is concerned, as a loan from Lessor to Lessee.
8. The Deed, the Lender Deed of Trust (and the Joinder of Lessee attached
thereto), the Lessor Deed of Trust, the Collateral Assignment and the Fixture
Filings are each in a form sufficient for recording in the Official Records of
Santa Clara County. Upon proper recording in the Official Records in Santa Clara
County and the payment of all fees required in connection therewith the Lender
Deed of Trust, the Joinder of Lessee, the Collateral Assignment and the Fixture
Filings related thereto will create in favor of the Agent a valid and
enforceable record lien on and security interest in the Lessee's and Lessor's
interests in the Collateral described therein. Upon proper recording in the
Official Records in Santa Clara County and the payment of all fees required in
connection therewith the Lessor Deed of Trust and the Fixture Filings related
thereto will create in favor of the Lessor a valid and enforceable record lien
on and security interest in the Lessee's interests in the Collateral described
therein. No other recordations or filings are necessary in order to provide such
constructive notice of the lien of the Lender Deed of Trust or the Lessor Deed
of Trust with respect to the real property described therein.
9. (a)(i) Under the laws of the State of New York, the Security Agreement
creates in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the secured parties named
therein, a security interest in the Collateral described therein to which
Article 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code ("NYUCC") is applicable (the
"ARTICLE 9 COLLATERAL"). The Security Agreement Financing Statements are in
appropriate form for filing with the California Secretary of State. Upon the
filing of the Security Agreement Financing Statements with the California
Secretary of State, the Agent, as secured party, will have a perfected security
interest in that portion of the Article 9 Collateral in which a security
interest is perfected by the filing of a financing statement with the California
Secretary of State under the NYUCC and Division 9 of
<PAGE> 136
To Each of the Parties April 23, 1999

Attached Hereto
the California Uniform Commercial Code (the "CUCC"). Upon proper filing of the
Security Agreement Financing Statements pursuant to the filing system
established under applicable California law, no other action is necessary under
the NYUCC to perfect such security interests in the Article 9 Collateral.
(ii) Under the laws of the State of New York, the security interests in
the Collateral described in the Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the
Lease Financing Statements will be perfected upon the proper filing of the Deed
of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements covering such
Collateral with the California Secretary of State. Upon proper filing of the
Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements pursuant
to the filing system established under applicable California law, no other
action is necessary under the NYUCC to perfect the security interests in the
Collateral described in the Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease
Financing Statements.
(b)(i) Under the laws of the State of California, the Security Agreement
creates in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the secured parties named
therein, a security interest in the Article 9 Collateral. The Security
Agreement Financing Statements are in appropriate form for filing with the
California Secretary of State. Upon the filing of the Security Agreement
Financing Statements with the California Secretary of State, the Agent, as
secured party, will have a perfected security interest in that portion of the
Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest is perfected by the filing of
a financing statement with the California Secretary of State under Division 9
of the CUCC. Upon proper filing of the Security Agreement Financing Statements
pursuant to the filing system established under applicable California law, no
other action is necessary under the CUCC to perfect such security interests in
the Article 9 Collateral.
(ii) Under the laws of the State of California, the security interests
in the Collateral described in the Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the
Lease Financing Statements will be perfected upon the proper filing of the Deed
of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements covering such
Collateral with the California Secretary of State. Upon proper filing of the
Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements pursuant
to the filing system established under applicable California law, no other
action is necessary under the CUCC to perfect the security interests in the
Collateral described in the Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease
Financing Statements.
10. There are no mortgage taxes or filing fees payable to any public
body solely in connection with the recording of the Lender Deed of Trust, the
Lessor Deed of Trust or the Fixture Filings in the Official Records of Santa
Clara County except filing fees payable to the County Recorder of Santa Clara
County.

11. No Governmental Action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
Governmental Authority is required for the acquisition of the Property by
Lessee or, to our current actual knowledge, Lessor.
12. To our current actual knowledge, title to the Properties located in
the State of California may be held in the name of the Lessor.
13. The Transaction and, particularly, Lessee's obligations to make
payments of "Basic Rent" and "Supplemental Rent" will not violate the usury
laws of the State of California.
The opinions expressed herein with respect to the laws of the State of New
York are subject to and limited by the following qualifications, assumptions,
limitations and exceptions:
(a) The enforceability of Lessee's and Lessor's obligations under the
Operative Documents may be subject to or limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other similar
laws affecting the rights of creditors generally; and (ii) general equitable
principles (whether relief is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity),
including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good
faith, and fair dealing.
(b) We express no opinion as to provisions of the Operative Documents
purporting to establish an evidentiary standard or to authorize conclusive
determinations by the Agent, Lenders, Holders or Lessor (collectively, "Lender
Parties") or any other Person or allowing the Lender Parties or any other
Person to make determinations in its sole discretion.
(c) We also express no opinion as to:
(i) the enforceability of provisions of the Operative Documents pursuant to
which Lessee or Lessor agrees to make payments without set-off, defense or
counterclaim;
(ii) the enforceability of provisions relating to indemnification,
contribution or exculpation, to the extent any such provision is contrary to
public policy or prohibited by law (including, without limitation, federal and
state securities laws);
(iii) any provision providing for the exclusive jurisdiction of a particular
court or purporting to waive rights to trial by jury, service of process or
objections to the laying of venue or to forum on the basis of forum non
conveniens, in connection with any litigation arising out of or pertaining to
the Operative Documents;
(iv) provisions contained in the Operative Documents purporting to waive
either illegality as a defense to the performance of contract obligations or
any other defense to such performance which cannot, as a matter of law, be
effectively waived;
(v) any provision of the Operative Documents insofar as it provides that any
Person purchasing a participation from any Lender Party or other Person may
exercise set-off or
<PAGE> 138
To Each of the Parties April 23, 1999

similar rights with respect to such participation or that any Lender Party or
other Person may exercise set-off or similar rights other than in accordance
with applicable law;
(vi) any provision of the Operative Documents permitting modification
thereof only by means of an agreement in writing signed by the parties thereto;
(vii) any provision of the Operative Documents requiring payment of
attorneys' fees, except to the extent a court determines such fees to be
reasonable;
(viii) the effect of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New
York which limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible;
(ix) any provisions purporting to exclude conflict of law principles under
New York law or otherwise select the laws of New York to govern any of the
Operative Documents or any security interest;
(x) any provision purporting to waive any right to claim punitive damages;
(xi) any provision providing for arbitration of disputes; and
(xii) any Collateral which is an accession to, or commingled or processed
with, other goods to the extent that the security interest of the Lender
Parties is limited by Section 9-314 or 9-315 of the NYUCC or Section 9314 or
9315 of the CUCC.
(d) The enforceability of any provisions of the Operative Documents which
are deemed to constitute a subordination of the rights of Lessee or Lessor may
be limited by exoneration and other defenses similar to those that may be
asserted by any guarantor.
(e) The enforceability of certain remedial and other provisions of the
Security Documents, including, without limitation, certain of the waivers
therein, may be limited by applicable state and federal laws (including
judicial decisions), but such laws do not, in our opinion (subject to the
limitations, qualifications and assumptions expressed herein), render any
Security Document, taken as a whole, invalid or unenforceable, and each of the
Security Documents, taken as a whole, contains adequate provisions for the
practical realization by the Lender Parties of the material rights and benefits
afforded thereby.
(f) The effectiveness of any Financing Statement will lapse five years
from the date the same if filed unless a continuation statement is filed within
six months prior to the expiration of that five year period.
(g) Under the NYUCC and CUCC events occurring subsequent to the date
hereof may affect any security interest subject to the NYUCC and CUCC. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent provided by Article 9 of
the NYUCC and Division 9 of the CUCC, additional filings with respect to the
Collateral may be necessary to continue perfection of all or certain of the
Collateral if (i) Lessee or Lessor changes its name (or any of the Financing
Statements otherwise becomes seriously misleading), (ii) any item of Collateral
located in California is removed from that state or (iii) Lessee or Lessor
changes the jurisdiction in which its chief executive office is located to a
jurisdiction other than California.

(h) To the extent that any of the Collateral consists of or constitutes
"proceeds" (as such term is defined in sec. 9-306 of the NYUCC), the security
interest therein is limited and conditioned as set forth in such Section.
(i) The opinions expressed herein with respect to the creation, attachment or
perfection of any security interest: (i) are limited to the opinions expressed
in Paragraphs 9(a)(i) and (ii) above and to the Collateral specifically
described in the Security Agreement, the Joinder of Lessee, the Lessor Deed of
Trust and Lender Deed of Trust, respectively, which is governed by relevant
provisions as currently in effect of Article 9 of the NYUCC (for purposes of
this paragraph only, the "Covered Collateral"); (ii) do not apply to Collateral
requiring perfection procedures other than the filing of a financing statement
in the office of the California Secretary of State; and (iii) by reason of the
operation of Section 9-103 of the NYUCC, are limited as to our perfection
opinions in Paragraphs 9(a)(i) and (ii)(insofar as such opinion governs goods
and such other items of the Covered Collateral described in Section 9-103(1)(a)
of the NYUCC) to goods and such other items located in the State of California.
We express no opinion with respect to the priority of any security interest. We
have assumed for purposes of the opinions in Paragraphs 9(a)(i) and (ii) above
that the Lessee and Lessor are located in California for purposes of sec.
9-103(3)(b) and sec. 9-103(6)(f) of the NYUCC. We have also assumed for purposes
of such opinions that Lessee and Lessor have rights in the Covered Collateral
within the meaning of the NYUCC and the CUCC, that all required consents of
third parties to the grant of security interests in the Covered Collateral have
been obtained and that the Lender Parties (except for Lessor with respect to the
attachment and/or and perfection of Lessor's security interests) have given
"value" within the meaning of the NYUCC and the CUCC. We have assumed for the
purposes of our opinions in Paragraph 9(a)(ii) that the security interests (to
which the Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements,
respectively, pertain) in the Collateral described in the Deed of Trust
Financing Statements in favor of the Agent and in the Collateral described in
the Lease Financing Statements in favor of the Lessor, respectively, have
attached for purposes of the NYUCC and the CUCC.
(j) We also express no opinion as to the title of Lessee or Lessor to any
Collateral or the classification of the Collateral.
(k) We express no opinion (i) with respect to any Collateral of a type
described in Section 9-401(1)(a) or (b) of the NYUCC or Section 9401(1)(a) or
(b) of the CUCC or represented by any certificate of title and (ii) as to the
accuracy or completeness of any description of the Collateral (including the
scope of the term "general intangibles") or the characterization of any
Collateral as real property, personal property, equipment or fixtures.

The opinions expressed herein with respect to the laws of the State of
California are subject to and limited by the following qualifications,
assumptions, limitations and exceptions:
(a) Our opinions are subject to the effect of the limitations imposed by the
CUCC relating to or affecting the rights and remedies available to secured
creditors.
(l) Our opinions are subject to the effect of judicial decisions which may
permit the introduction of extrinsic evidence to interpret the terms of written
contracts.
(m) The legality, validity, binding nature and enforceability of obligations of
Lessee or Lessor under the Operative Documents may be subject to or limited by
(1) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent
transfer and other similar laws affecting the rights of landlords and of
creditors; (2) general principles of equity (whether relief is sought in a
proceeding at law or in equity), including, without limitation, concepts of
materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the discretion of
any court of competent jurisdiction in awarding specific performance or
injunctive relief and other equitable remedies; and (3), without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, in the event that a court applies California law
when interpreting any Operative Document, the effect of California court
decisions and statutes which indicate that provisions of any Operative Document
which permit any Lender Party or any other Person to take action or make
determinations may be subject to a requirement that such action be taken or
such determinations be made on a reasonable basis in good faith or that it be
shown that such action is reasonably necessary for the protection of such Lender
Party or such other Person.
(n) With respect to our opinion above concerning enforcement of the assignment
of rents set forth in any of the Operative Documents, we note the limitations
and requirements with respect to the enforcement thereof set forth in Section
2938 of the California Civil Code ("CC").
(o) With respect to the opinions set forth above, we note that if any of the
obligations of Lessee under the Lease or any Operative Document relating thereto
are determined by a court applying California law to be obligations that are
secured by a deed of trust or mortgage on the real property covered thereby of
which is located in the State of California, such obligations may be affected by
the California antideficiency, one-action and related laws, and laws relating to
default cure rights, including, without limitation, the following:
(i) Section 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure ("CCP") provides that
any action to recover on a debt or other right secured by a mortgage or a deed
of trust on real property must comply with the requirements of that section,
which requirements relate to and specify the procedures for the sale of
encumbered property, the application of proceeds, the rendition in certain cases
of a deficiency judgment and other related matters. In such an
<PAGE> 141

action or proceeding, the debtor may require the creditor to exhaust all of its
security before a personal judgment may be obtained against the debtor for a
deficiency, and failure to comply with the provisions of Section 726 (including
an attempt to exercise a right to set off with respect to any funds of the
debtor that may be deposited with the creditor from time to time) may result in
the creditor's loss of its lien on real property collateral;
(ii) Section 580b of the CCP provides that no deficiency judgment shall be
rendered upon a purchase money obligation in favor of the vendor arising from
the sale of real property where such purchase money obligation is secured by a
lien on the real property purchased from the vendor or in favor of a lender
where the proceeds of the loan are used to purchase a one-to-four family
dwelling occupied entirely or in part by the borrower and where such loan is
secured by a lien on such dwelling;
(iii) Sections 580a and 580d of the CCP, respectively, which (i) limit any
deficiency after judicial foreclosure to the excess of the debt over the fair
market value of the foreclosed property at the time of sale, and (ii) prevent a
deficiency judgment after a nonjudicial or trustee's foreclosure sale pursuant
to a power of sale;
(iv) Section 2924c of the CC provides for certain default cure rights following
acceleration of the maturity of an obligation secured by a deed of trust or
mortgage on real property, which may be exercised at any time within the
reinstatement period described in such Section;
(v) Section 726.5 of the CCP authorizes, under certain circumstances, a real
estate-secured commercial lender to waive its lien against a parcel of
"environmentally impaired" security (as therein defined) and sue the borrower
without foreclosing on the real property collateral for the loan;
(vi) Section 9501 of the CUCC prescribes the rights and remedies of secured
creditors with both real and personal property security;
(vii) CCP Sections 729.010 through 729.090 provide for certain redemption and
other rights following any judicial foreclosure sale;
(viii) Section 736 of the CCP permits a lender, under certain circumstances, to
sue for breach of contract relating to any "environmental provisions" (as
therein defined) concerning real property security without foreclosing on the
real property security or in an action brought following foreclosure, whether
judicial or non-judicial; and
(ix) CC Sections 2924, 2924b and 2924c require that certain procedures be
followed by the holder of a deed of trust or mortgage with power of sale before
exercising any power of sale thereunder.
(p) The enforceability of any "environmental provision" of the Operative
Documents is also limited by, and also subject to compliance by the
beneficiaries thereunder with, statutory or other legal requirements, including,
without limitation, CCP Sections 564, 726.5 and 736 and CC Section 2929.5. As
used above, the term "environmental provision" has the meaning set forth in CCP
Section 736(f)(2).

(q) The effectiveness of the Financing Statements will lapse five years from
the date the same is filed unless a continuation statement is filed within six
months prior to the expiration of that five year period.
(r) To the extent provided by Division 9 of the CUCC, additional filings with
respect to the Collateral may also be necessary to continue perfection of the
security interest in all or certain of the Collateral if Lessee or Lessor
changes its name (or any Financing Statement otherwise becomes seriously
misleading), if any item of Collateral that is located in California is removed
from that State or if Lessee or Lessor changes the jurisdiction in which its
chief executive office is located to a jurisdiction other than California.
(s) To the extent that any of the Collateral consists of or constitutes
"proceeds" (as such term is defined in Section 9306 of the CUCC), the security
interest therein is limited and conditioned as set forth in such Section 9306.
(t) The opinions expressed herein with respect to the creation, attachment or
perfection of any security interest (except to the extent expressly stated in
Paragraph 8 above): (i) are limited to the opinions expressed in Paragraphs
9(b)(i) and (ii) above and to the Collateral specifically described in the
Security Agreement, the Joinder of Lessee, the Lessor Deed of Trust and Lender
Deed of Trust, respectively, which is governed by relevant provisions as
currently in effect of Division 9 of the CUCC (for purposes of this paragraph
only, the "Covered Collateral"); (ii) do not apply to Collateral requiring
perfection procedures other than the filing of a financing statement in the
office of the California Secretary of State; and (iii) by reason of the
operation of Section 9103 of the CUCC, are limited as to our perfection opinions
in Paragraphs 9(a)(i) and (ii)(insofar as such opinion governs goods and such
other items of the Covered Collateral described in Section 9103(1)(a) of the
CUCC) to goods and such other items located in the State of California. We
express no opinion with respect to the priority of any security interest. We
have assumed for purposes of the opinions in Paragraphs 9(b)(i) and (ii) above
that Lessee and Lessor are each located in California for purposes of Section
9103(3)(b) and Section 9103(6)(f) of the CUCC. We have also assumed for purposes
of such opinions that Lessee and Lessor each have rights in the Covered
Collateral within the meaning of the CUCC, that all required consents of third
parties to the grant of security interests in the Covered Collateral have been
obtained and that the Lender Parties (except for Lessor with respect to the
attachment and/or and perfection of Lessor's security interests) have given
"value" within the meaning of the CUCC. We have assumed for the purposes of our
opinions in Paragraph 9(b)(ii) that the security interests (to which the Deed of
Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements, respectively,
pertain) in the Collateral described in the Deed of Trust Financing Statements
in favor of the Agent and in the Collateral described in the Lease Financing
Statements in favor of the Lessor, respectively, have attached for purposes of
the CUCC.

(u) We also express no opinion (i) as to the title of the Lessee or Lessor to
any Collateral or (ii) as to whether the Lease constitutes a security interest
or creates a security interest within the meaning of the CUCC.
(v) We express no opinion (i) with respect to any Collateral of a type
described in Section 9401(1)(a) or (b) of the CUCC or represented by any
certificate of title, (ii) as to the accuracy or completeness of any
description of the Property or any other property or Collateral (including the
scope of the term "general intangibles"), or the characterization of any
Collateral as real property, personal property, equipment or fixtures and (iii)
as to any Collateral which is an accession to, or commingled or processed with,
other goods to the extent that the security interest of the Lender Parties is
limited by Section 9314 or 9315 of the CUCC.
(w) The rights of Lender Parties in respect of fixtures may be limited by CC
Sections 1013, 1013.5 and 1019 and CUCC Section 9313 which concern fixtures and
their removal except to the extent that appropriate agreements are obtained
from owners and encumbrancers of, and others claiming an interest in, the real
property on which such fixtures are located.
(x) We express no opinion as to whether any divisions of real property or any
interests therein contemplated by the Operative Documents comply with the
Subdivision Map Act (as defined in Section 66410 of the California Government
Code) or any city, county or other local rules, ordinances or regulations
promulgated by authority thereof or in connection therewith.
(y) We express no opinion as to the title of the Lessee or the Lessor to the
Property or any Improvements pursuant to the Lease.
(z) We further advise you that if a court of competent jurisdiction applies
the laws of the State of California to a lease of real property located in the
State of California, the obligations of Lessee under the Lease may also be
affected under California law by the provisions of CC Sections 1932 and 1933
(relating, inter alia, to termination of a lease upon casualty to the leasehold
estate) or by Section 1265.130 of the CCP (relating to termination of a lease
upon a taking of the leasehold estate for public use in certain circumstances).
(aa) We express no opinion as to the validity, binding nature or enforceability
of any provisions of the Operative Documents that:
(i) purport to waive regulatory, constitutional, statutory or common law
rights, including the right to receive notice or to be allowed to cure,
reinstate or redeem in the event of default, or that expressly or by
implication waive broadly or vaguely stated rights, unknown future rights and
defenses to obligations, in each case to the extent such rights or defenses are
not waivable under applicable law;
(ii) purport to require the Lessee or Lessor to make payments without set-off,
defense or counterclaim;
(iii) specify the manner of foreclosure or exercise of remedies in respect of
deposit accounts insofar as the CUCC does not address the same;
<PAGE> 144
To Each of the Parties April 23, 1999
Listed on Schedule A Page 19
Attached Hereto
(iv) purport to require the award or payment of attorneys' fees, expenses or
costs in any action where any Person is not the prevailing party, or the impact
of CC Section 1717 et seq. on any such provisions;
(v) provide that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or
remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other
right or remedy, that the election of some particular remedy or remedies does
not preclude recourse to one or another remedy or that failure to exercise or
delay in exercising rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of any such
right or remedy;
(vi) prohibit waiver of any terms or provisions of the Operative Documents
other than in writing or prohibit oral modifications thereof or modification by
course of dealing to the extent such provisions are inconsistent with
applicable law;
(vii) address arbitration of disputes;
(viii) purport to waive statutes of limitation;
(ix) authorize Lessor or any other Person to set off and apply any deposits at
any time held, and any other indebtedness at any time owing, by Lessee or
Lessor to or for the account of Lessor;
(x) purport to limit the standards imposed upon any Person for the care of the
Collateral in such Person's possession;
(xi) purport to exclude conflict of law principles under California law or
otherwise select the laws of New York to govern any of the Operative Documents
or any security interest in real property located in the State of California;
(xii) require the Lessee or Lessor to provide hazard insurance coverage
against risks in an amount exceeding the replacement value of any improvements
to real property;
(xiii) impose requirements respecting impound accounts in conflict with
applicable law;
(xiv) provide for the application of insurance or condemnation proceeds to
reduce indebtedness;
(xv) purport to assign rents, issues and profits absolutely and not as
security;
(xvi) indemnify any Person against, or require contributions toward, that
Person's liability for its own wrongful or negligent acts or where such
indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy or prohibited by
law;
(xvii) provide for penalties, liquidated damages, acceleration of future
amounts due (other than principal) without appropriate discount to present
value, late charges, prepayment charges and increased interest rates upon
default;
(xviii) provide that time is of the essence;
(xix) provide for the confession of judgment;
(xx) attempt to change or waive rules of evidence or fix the method or quantum
of proof to be applied in litigation or similar proceedings;
(xxi) provide for the exclusive jurisdiction of a particular court or purport
to waive rights to trial by jury, service of process or objections to the
laying of venue or to forum on the
<PAGE> 145

basis of forum non conveniens, in connection with any litigation arising out of
or pertaining to the Operative Documents;
(xxii) appoint any Lender Party as Lessee's or Lessor's agent or
attorney-in-fact; or
(xxiii) any provision purporting to waive any right to claim punitive damages.
(bb) The enforceability of any provisions of the Operative Documents which
are deemed to constitute a subordination of the rights of Lessee or Lessor may
be limited by exoneration and other defenses similar to those that may be
asserted by any guarantor.
(cc) With respect to the provisions of the Operative Documents relating to
the application of condemnation proceeds, you should be aware that CCP Section
1265.225 provides that where there is a partial taking of property encumbered
by a lien, the lienholder may share in the award only to the extent determined
by the court to be necessary to prevent impairment of the security, and the
lien shall continue upon the part of the property not taken as security for the
unpaid portion of the indebtedness. However, the lienholder and the property
owner may at any time after commencement of the condemnation proceeding agree
that some or all of the award shall be apportioned to the lienholder on the
indebtedness.
(dd) Notwithstanding our opinions above, we express no opinion as to the
enforceability of the power of sale (and the related remedies of Lessor
consistent with the characterization of the Transaction as a loan) in the Lease
and the Lessor Deed of Trust, where a court of competent jurisdiction has not
recharacterized the Transaction, insofar as the Lease is concerned, as a loan
from Lessor to Lessee.
(ee) We wish to point out that the Lenders, as holders of the Tranche A
Notes and Tranch B Notes, may be required to prove the outstanding amount
thereof. We further wish to point out that under Section 18104 of the
California Probate Code, the Holders may be required to prove their interests
as beneficiaries under the VS Trust 1999-1.
Without qualification of the opinions rendered above, we express
no opinion as to (i) whether the Lease or any of the other Operative Documents
will be construed to create the legal relationships they purport to create for
purposes of determining the rights and obligations of the parties thereto; (ii)
whether the legal relationships purported to be created by the Lease or any of
the other Operative Documents will be binding and conclusive with respect to

[Outside Counsel Opinion of the Additional Credit Parties]
(Pursuant To Section 5.10(c) of the Participation Agreement)
TO THOSE ON THE ATTACHED DISTRIBUTION LIST
Re: Synthetic Lease Financing Provided in favor of Veritas Software
Corporation
Dear Sirs:
We have acted as special counsel to _______________, a _______________
corporation (the "Joinder Party") in connection with certain transactions
contemplated by the Participation Agreement dated as of April 23, 1999 (the
"Participation Agreement"), among Veritas Software Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Lessee"), the various parties thereto from time to time, as
guarantors (the "Guarantors"), First Security Bank, National Association, as the
Owner Trustee (the "Owner Trustee"), the various banks and other lending
institutions which are parties thereto from time to time, as holders (the
"Holders"), the various banks and other lending institutions which are parties
thereto from time to time, as lenders (the "Lenders") and NationsBank, N.A., as
the agent for the Lenders and respecting the Security Documents, as the agent
for the Lenders and the Holders, to the extent of their interests (the "Agent").
This opinion is delivered pursuant to Section 5.10(c) of the Participation
Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise defined herein,
shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Appendix A to the Participation
Agreement.
In connection with the foregoing, we have examined originals, or copies
certified to our satisfaction, of the Operative Agreements (including without
limitation that certain Joinder Agreement dated as of , (the
"Joinder Agreement"), between the Joinder Party and the Agent, and such other
corporate, partnership or limited liability company documents and records of
the Joinder Party, certificates of public officials and representatives of the
Joinder Party as to certain factual matters, and such other instruments and
documents which we have deemed necessary or advisable to examine for the
purpose of this opinion. With respect to such examination, we have assumed (i)
the statements of fact made in all such certificates, documents and instruments
are true, accurate and complete; (ii) the due authorization, execution and
delivery of the Operative Agreements by the parties thereto other than the
Joinder Party; (iii) the genuineness of all signatures (other than the
signatures of persons signing on behalf of the Joinder Party), the authenticity
and completeness of all documents, certificates, instruments, records and
corporate records submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the
original
<PAGE> 152
instruments of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity
and completeness of the originals of such copies; (iv) that all parties other
than the Joinder Party have all requisite corporate power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform the Operative Agreements; and (v) the
enforceability of the Operative Agreements against all parties thereto other
than the Joinder Party. We have further assumed that the laws of the States of
[STATE OF LAWYER'S ADMISSION] and New York are substantively identical.
Based on the foregoing, and having due regard for such legal considerations as
we deem relevant, and subject to the limitations and assumptions set forth
herein, including without limitation the matters set forth in the last two (2)
paragraphs hereof, we are of the opinion that:
(a) The Joinder Party is a corporation, duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of _____________ and has the power
and authority to conduct its business as presently conducted and to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Operative Agreements to which it
is a party. The Joinder Party is duly qualified to do business in all
jurisdictions in which its failure to so qualify would materially impair its
ability to perform its obligations under the Operative Agreements to which it is
a party or its financial position or its business as now and now proposed to
be conducted.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Joinder Party of the
Operative Agreements to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of the Joinder Party and the Operative
Agreements to which the Joinder Party is a party have been duly executed and
delivered by the Joinder Party.
(c) The Operative Agreements to which the Joinder Party is a party
constitute valid and binding obligations of the Joinder Party enforceable
against the Joinder Party in accordance with the terms thereof, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, and
similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, and general principles of
equity (regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(d) The execution and delivery by the Joinder Party of the Operative
Agreements to which it is a party and compliance by the Joinder Party with all
of the provisions thereof do not and will not (i) contravene the provisions of,
or result in any breach of or constitute any default under, or result in the
creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens) upon any of
its property under, its Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws or any indenture,
mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of trust, lease, conditional sales contract,
bank loan or credit agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the
Joinder Party is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound or
affected, or (ii) contravene any Laws or any order of any Governmental
Authority applicable to or binding on the Joinder Party.
(e) No Governmental Action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
Governmental Authority is required for the due execution, delivery or
performance by the Joinder Party of any of the Operative Agreements to which it
is a party or for the acquisition, ownership, construction and completion of the
Properties, except for those which have been obtained.
H-1-2
<PAGE> 153
(f) Except as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, there are no actions, suits
or proceedings pending or to our knowledge, threatened against the in any court
or before any Governmental Authority that concern the Properties or the Joinder
Party's interest therein or that question the validity or enforceability of any
Operative Agreement to which the Joinder Party is a party or the overall
transaction described in the Operative Agreements to which the Joinder Party is
a party.
(g) Neither the nature of the Properties, nor any relationship between the
Joinder Party and any other Person, nor any circumstance in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Agreements to which the
Joinder Party is a party is such as to require any approval of stockholders of,
or approval or consent of any trustee or holders of indebtedness of, the Joinder
Party, except for such approvals and consents which have been duly obtained and
are in full force and effect.
(h) Except with respect to (i) perfection and the effect of perfection or
nonperfection of the security interest in the Collateral, and (ii) usury law, in
any action or proceeding arising out of or related to any of the
Operative Agreements in any court of the State of California or in any federal
court sitting in the State of California, such court would recognize and give
effect to the New York choice of law provisions of the Operative Agreements.
This opinion is limited to the matter stated herein and no opinion is
implied or may be inferred beyond the matters state herein. This opinion is
based on and is limited to the laws of the States of [ ], and the federal
laws of the United States of America. Insofar as the foregoing opinion relates
to matters of law other than the foregoing, no opinion is hereby given.
This opinion is for the sole benefit of the Joinder Party, the Lessee, the
Construction Agent, the Guarantors, the Owner Trustee, the Holders, the Lenders,
the Agent and their respective successors and assigns and may not be relied upon
by any other person other than such parties and their respective successors and
assigns without the express written consent of the undersigned. The opinions
expressed herein are as of the date hereof and we make no undertaking to amend
or supplement such opinions if facts come to our attention or changes in the
current law of the jurisdictions mentioned herein occur which could affect such
opinions.

instrument and the estate hereby granted shall cease and become void; (iii) the

to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from financial intermediaries, bankers or agents (as
5

to hold such interests in the Property unto the Lessor and its successors and
assigns, forever, provided always that these presents are upon the express
condition that, if all amounts due under the Lease and the other Operative
Agreements shall have been paid and satisfied in full, then this instrument and

sums owed to the Lessor by the Lessee under the Lease, the Lessee does hereby
grant, bargain, sell, transfer and

together with all of the options, rights, powers and privileges of the Lessee
under any lease pertaining to the Property, whether heretofore or hereafter

Property contained in Articles XIX and XX of the Lease, and all present and
future right, title and interest of the Lessee in and to (i) all refunds, tax

into cash or liquidated claims, including without limitation the proceeds of
insurance and condemnation awards in respect of the Property or any portion
thereof, all additional estates, rights and interests hereafter acquired by the
Lessee in the Property, or any portion thereof, together with all proceeds of
the conversion, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any of the Property into
cash or other liquid claims, including without limitation, all awards, payments
or proceeds, including interest thereon, and the right to receive the same,
which may be made as a result of any casualty, any exercise of the right of
eminent domain or deed in lieu thereof, any injury to the Property and any
defect in title in the Property or other matter insured under any policy of
title insurance, together with attorney's fees, costs and disbursements incurred
by the Lessor in connection with the collection of such awards, payments and
proceeds, and the Lessee further grants to the Lessor, pursuant to the

present and future right, title and interest of the Lessee in and to any portion
of the foregoing property for which a security interest may be created under the
UCC.
To have and to hold the same whether now owned or held or hereafter
acquired unto the Trustee, its successors-in-trust forever, IN TRUST, WITH POWER
OF SALE, to secure to the Lessor the payment of the Rent, the Termination Value
and all other sums owing to the Lessor under the Lease and the performance and
observance of the terms, covenants, warranties, conditions, agreements and
obligations under the Lease. If the Lessee shall pay all sums due under the
Lease when due according to the terms thereof and shall otherwise fully and
properly perform and comply with all of the obligations, agreements, terms and
conditions of the Lease, then this conveyance shall become null and void.
In the event of the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, then the Lessor
shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Lease including, without
limitation the right to foreclosure its interest (or cause such interest to be
foreclosed) in any or all of the Property in accordance with
4
<PAGE> 5
applicable law. The Trustee and the Lessor and each of them are authorized prior
or subsequent to the institution of any foreclosure proceedings to enter upon
the Property or any part thereof and to take possession of the Property and
exercise without interference from the Lessee, any and all rights which the
Lessee has with respect to the management, possession, operation, protection or
preservation of the Property; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled,
up to 30 days after the termination of the Lessee's occupancy of the Property to
enter the Property during normal business hours for the purpose of removing its
personal property and trade fixtures therefrom at its expense, provided that
such personal property and trade fixtures are not Improvements and Lessee
repairs any damage to the Improvements caused by such removal.

public officer in foreclosure of the liens and security interests evidenced
hereby shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of the sale, including
but not limited to, reasonable Trustee's fees and then as provided in Section
22.2 of the Lease.
If the Lessor so elects, the Trustee may sell any personal property
covered by this instrument at one or more separate sales in any manner permitted
by the UCC. One or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall not
extinguish nor exhaust such powers until the entire Property is sold or until
the entire amounts evidenced and/or secured by the Lease and the Operative
Agreements is paid in full.
(d) Specifically, but without limiting the generality of Section 5(b), the
Lessor and the Lessee further intend and agree that, with respect to that
portion of the Property constituting personal property, for the purpose of
securing the Lessee's obligations for the repayment, of the above-described
obligations to the Lessor, (i) the Lease shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement and financing statement within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC;
(ii) the conveyance provided for hereby shall be deemed to be a grant by the
Lessee to the Lessor of a lien and security interest in all of the Lessee's
present and future right, title and interest in and to such portion of the
Property, including but not limited to the Lessee's leasehold estate therein and
all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, investments, securities or other property, whether in the form of cash,
investments, securities or other property to secure such obligations, effective
on the date hereof, to have and to hold such interests in the Property unto the
Lessor and its successors and assigns, forever, provided always that these
presents are upon the express condition that, if all amounts due under the
Lease shall have been paid and satisfied in full, then this instrument and the
estate hereby granted shall cease and become void; (iii) the possession by the
Lessor of notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments,
money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession
by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant
to Section 9-305 of the UCC; and (iv) notifications to Persons holding such
property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from financial
intermediaries, bankers or agents (as
5
<PAGE> 6
applicable) of the Lessee shall be deemed to have been given for the purpose of
perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Lessor and the
Lessee shall, to the extent consistent with this Memorandum, take such actions
and execute, deliver, file and record such other documents, financing
statements, mortgages and deeds of trust as may be necessary to ensure that, if
the Lease were deemed create a security interest in the Property in accordance
with this Section, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected
security interest with priority over all Liens other than Permitted Liens,
under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the Term.

notice of the Lease and the Lease Supplement and their respective terms,
covenants and conditions to the same extent as if the Lease and the Lease
Supplement were fully set forth herein. This Memorandum shall not modify in any

("Sublessor"), having an address of 1600 Plymouth Street, Mountain View,

Trustee") having an address of 79 South Main Street, Salt Lake City, Utah
84111. To the extent any capitalized term is not defined herein, such term
shall have the meaning set forth in Appendix A to the Participation Agreement
among the Sublessor, the Owner Trustee, the various banks or other lending
institutions which are parties thereto from time to time as Lenders and Holders
and NationsBank, N.A., a national banking association, as agent for the Lenders
and Holders (the "Participation Agreement").
R E C I T A L S
A. The Sublessor is the current sublessor of certain real property more
particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Premises"), pursuant
to a certain sublease agreement dated as of April 23, 1999, between Sublessor,
as Sublessor, and Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
as Sublessee (the sublease together with any and all renewals, extensions,
amendments and supplements thereto is hereafter referred to as the "Sublease").
B. As a condition to the execution of the Operative Agreements,
Sublessor is required to enter into this Assignment to secure the payment and
performance of any and all indebtedness, liabilities, obligations and other
amounts owing under the Operative Agreements to Owner Trustee, whether now or
hereafter disbursed and existing, as amended, modified, extended, renewed or
replaced from time to time as well as the payment and performance obligations
related to this Assignment (collectively, the "Liabilities").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Sublessor hereby agrees with Owner Trustee as follows:
<PAGE> 2
1. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2 of this Assignment, and as
collateral security for the payment and performance of the Liabilities,
Sublessor hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to Owner Trustee any and all
of Sublessor's right, title and interest, powers, privileges and other benefits
as sublessor, grantor, lessee or grantee under the Sublease, including, without
limitation, (a) proceeds thereof, (b) the right to enter upon, take possession
of and use any and all property leased or granted to Sublessor, (c) the right
to make all waivers and agreements, to give all notices, consents and releases,
to take all action upon the happening of any default giving rise to a right in
favor of Sublessor under the Sublease and (d) to do any and all other things
whatsoever which Sublessor is or may become entitled to do under the Sublease.
2. During the occurrence and continuance of a Lease Event of Default,
Sublessor agrees that, to the extent permitted by law, at the option of Owner
Trustee and in addition to such other rights and remedies as may be afforded to
Owner Trustee under the Operative Agreements, by law or in equity, Owner
Trustee shall have the right, without giving further notice to or obtaining the
consent of Sublessor, to exercise, enforce or avail itself of any of the
rights, powers, privileges, authorizations or benefits assigned and transferred
to Owner Trustee pursuant to this Assignment, including, without limitation,
the right to enter upon and take possession of the Premises by or through its
own action or that of any agents or assigns, in which event Sublessor agrees to
peacefully vacate and surrender the Premises to Owner Trustee or its agents or
assigns, together with all improvements, appurtenances, machinery, equipment,
furniture, furnishings, fixtures and other property of Sublessor then situated
thereon or attached thereto to the extent such have been financed pursuant to
the Operative Agreements or to the extent such is reasonably required to
operate the Premises. Thereafter, any expenses, including, without limitation,
rent incurred by Owner Trustee in connection with its entry upon and possession
of the Premises and the aforesaid appurtenances thereto and improvements
thereon shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be
additional obligations of Sublessor pursuant to the Operative Agreements.
3. This Agreement is executed only as security for the Liabilities and,
therefore, the execution and delivery of this Assignment shall not subject
Owner Trustee to, or transfer or pass to Owner Trustee or in any way affect or
modify, the liability of Sublessor under the Sublease, it being understood and
agreed that, notwithstanding this Assignment or any subsequent assignment, all
of the obligations of Sublessor to each and every other party, under the
Sublease shall be and remain enforceable by such other party, its successors
and assigns, against, but only against, Sublessor or persons other than Owner
Trustee and its successors and assigns.
4. To protect the security afforded by this Assignment, Sublessor agrees
as follows:
(a) Subject to any express provision within the respective Sublease
which may grant the Sublessor a right to contest, Sublessor shall
faithfully abide by, perform and discharge each and every material
obligation, covenant, condition, duty and agreement which the Sublease
provides are to be performed by Sublessor.
2
<PAGE> 3
(b) Should Sublessor fail to perform or discharge its obligations or
duties under the Sublease as required in Paragraph 4(a) above or under this
Assignment, then Owner Trustee may, but shall have no obligation to (and shall
not thereby release Sublessor from any Liability hereunder), perform or
discharge any such obligation or duty under the Sublease to such extent as
Owner Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to protect the security provided
hereby, including appearing in and defending any action or proceeding
purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Owner
Trustee hereunder. In exercising any such powers, Owner Trustee may pay
necessary and advisable costs (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses), and all such expenses paid or incurred by Owner
Trustee shall be additional obligations of Sublessor pursuant to the Operative
Agreements.
(c) During the occurrence and continuance of a Lease Event of
Default, Owner Trustee shall have the right to assign Sublessor's rights and
interests in the Sublease.
5. During the occurrence and continuance of a Lease Event of Default,
Sublessor does hereby irrevocably appoint Owner Trustee as Sublessor's true and
lawful attorney, with full power (in the name of Sublessor or otherwise) to
ask, require, demand, receive and give acquittance for every payment under or
arising out of the Sublease to which Sublessor is or may become entitled,
including, without limitation, to enforce compliance by any other party with
any term or provision of the Sublease, to endorse each and every check or other
instrument or order in connection therewith, and to file any claim, take any
action, or institute any proceeding which Owner Trustee may deem to be
necessary or advisable.
6. Until the Liabilities are fully paid and discharged, this Assignment
and all representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, grants of security
and other terms and provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect. No
termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of this
Assignment shall in any way affect or impair the powers, obligations, duties,
rights and liabilities of Sublessor or Owner Trustee in any way or respect
relating to any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination or
cancellation which shall survive such termination or cancellation.
7. Sublessor shall, from time to time, do and perform any other act or
acts and shall execute, acknowledge, deliver and file, register, record (and
shall re-file, re-register and re-record whenever required) any further
instruments, including, without limitation, any extensions and renewals
thereof, or substitutions therefor required by law or reasonably requested by
Owner Trustee in order to confirm, or further assure, the interests of Owner
Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Sublessor hereby
authorizes the Owner Trustee to take all such actions and measures to record
this Assignment in appropriate real estate offices where the Premises are
located.
8. Sublessor shall cause a copy of every notice or communication
received from any of the other parties to the Sublease, which notices or
communication shall notify Sublessor of any material default, event of default,
material breach or other material violation on the part of
3
<PAGE> 4
Sublessor under the Sublease, to be delivered to Owner Trustee within ten (10)
business days of Sublessor's receipt of said notice or communication in the
manner and at the place provided for in the Participation Agreement for the
giving of notices thereunder, or at such other address or in such other manner
as Owner Trustee shall designate. Sublessor shall similarly notify Owner
Trustee upon receiving notice of the filing or any bankruptcy petition by or
against, or the institution of any insolvency or reorganization proceeding
involving the lessee under the Sublease and any material notices, summonses,
pleadings, applications and other documents received by Sublessor in connection
with any such proceeding.
9. Owner Trustee hereby agrees with Sublessor so long as no Lease Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) Owner Trustee shall neither
exercise, enforce or avail itself of, nor seek to exercise, enforce or avail
itself of any of the rights, powers, privileges, authorizations or benefits
assigned and transferred to Owner Trustee pursuant to this Assignment, and (ii)
Sublessor may exercise or enforce, or seek to exercise or enforce such rights,
powers, privileges, authorizations or benefits under the Sublease.
10. This Agreement shall be governed and controlled by the internal laws
of the State of California.

(as owner of the Developable Land) and to tenants of any building which may be

such manner as is suitable to satisfy Subtenant's business needs.
(d) Parcelization of Land. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees
that, at any time following the Commencement Date of this Sublease, Sublandlord
shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to obtaining
any necessary governmental approvals required, to subdivide or parcelize the
Land into two or more separate, legal parcels (one of which shall consist of
the Excluded Area) so long as (i) Subtenant's use, occupancy, and enjoyment
of the Premises and the Subtenant Improvements, and (ii) its rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, its parking rights, are not materially
diminished.
4. Sublease Term.
(a) Sublease Term. The term of this Sublease ("Sublease Term")
shall be for the period commencing on the date on which escrow closes on the
acquisition of fee title to the Land (and the Premises) from Subtenant (the
"Commencement Date") and ending (unless sooner terminated in accordance with
the terms of this Sublease) on December 31, 2000.
(b) Early Termination. Subtenant shall have the right to
terminate or cancel this Sublease at any time prior to the expiration of the
Sublease Term provided Subtenant delivers to Sublandlord not less than twelve
(12) months' prior written notice of such termination. Based on the foregoing,
in no event shall the effective date of any early termination of this Sublease
pursuant to this Subparagraph 4(b) occur prior to the date twelve (12) months
following the Commencement Date of this Sublease. Upon the effective date of
such early termination of the Sublease, all rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder (excepting therefrom the rights and obligations that
expressly survive the termination of this Sublease including Subtenant's and
Sublandlord's (or Lessor's, as the case may be) obligations under Paragraph 32
below) shall cease.
5. Rent.
(a) Time of Payment. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as base
rent for the Premises the sum specified in Subparagraph 5(b) below (the
"Monthly Installment") each month in advance on the first day of each calendar
month, without deduction or offset, except as expressly provided hereunder, and
without prior notice or demand commencing on the Commencement Date (as defined
above) and continuing through the Sublease Term, together
-5-
<PAGE> 6
with such additional rents as are payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord under the
terms of this Sublease. The Monthly Installment for any period during the
Sublease Term which is less than one (1) full month shall be a pro rate portion
of the Monthly Installment based upon a thirty (30) day month.
(b) Monthly Installment. The Monthly Installment of rent to be
paid each month by Subtenant to Sublandlord during the Sublease Term, subject to
adjustment as provided below, shall be equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of an
amount that will yield Sublandlord an eight percent (8%) annual return on the
portion of the Purchase Price paid by Sublandlord that is allocable to the
Excluded Area and the improvements thereon. The acreage of the Excluded Area
shall deemed to be 11.49 acres, and the acreage of the Land shall be deemed to
be 19.61 acres. The portion of the Purchase Price that is allocable to the
Excluded Area and the improvements thereon shall be determined by multiplying
$32,200,000 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the acreage included in
the Excluded Area (11.49 acres) and the denominator of which is the total
acreage included in the entire Land (19.61 acres). Thus, the Monthly
Installment shall be equal to $125,778.68 per month. Once the allocation of FAR
Funds (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has been determined pursuant to
Section 6.3(j) of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Price used to calculate
the Monthly Installment, and thus the Monthly Installment, shall be adjusted
accordingly.
(c) Additional Rent. All taxes, utilities, services, insurance
premiums, late charges, costs, expenses and other sums which Subtenant is
required to pay under this Sublease, and all reasonable damages, costs, and
attorneys' fees and expenses which Sublandlord may incur by reason of any
default of Subtenant or failure on Subtenant's part to comply with the terms of
this Sublease, shall be deemed to be additional rent ("Additional Rent") and
shall be paid, commencing on the Commencement Date, in addition to the Monthly
Installment of rent, and, in the event of nonpayment by Subtenant, Sublandlord
shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect thereto as Sublandlord
has for the nonpayment of the Monthly Installment of rent. Monthly Installments
of rent and Additional Rent are collectively referred to herein as "Rent".
(d) Place of Payment. Rent shall be payable in lawful money of
the United States of America to Sublandlord at 1600 Plymouth Street, Mountain
View, California 94043, Attn: __________ or to such other person(s) or at such
other place(s) as Sublandlord may designate in writing. Upon designation of
another person to receive the Rent, all subsequent payments of Rent shall be
directed to such other person until such other person given written notice to
direct such payments elsewhere.
(e) Late Payments. Any Monthly Installment of rent and Additional
Rent due under this Sublease that is not received by sublandlord within five
(5) days after written notice that such sum is past due shall bear interest at
the Permitted Rate (as defined in Paragraph 31) from the date due until fully
paid. The payment of interest shall not cure any default by Subtenant under
this Sublease. In addition, Subtenant acknowledges that the late payment by
Subtenant to Sublandlord of rent will cause Sublandlord to incur costs not
contemplated by this Sublease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Those costs may include, but are not
limited to, administrative, processing and accounting charges, and late charges
which may be imposed on Sublandlord by the terms of any ground
-6-
<PAGE> 7
lease, mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any
Monthly Installment of rent and Additional Rent due from Subtenant shall not be
received by Sublandlord or Sublandlord's designee within five (5) days after
written notice that such sum is past due, then Subtenant shall pay to
Sublandlord, in addition to the interest provided above, a late charge in a sum
equal to Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) for each delinquent payment.
Acceptance of a late charge by Sublandlord shall not constitute a waiver of
Subtenant's default with respect to the overdue amount, nor shall it prevent
Sublandlord from exercising any of its other rights and remedies.
(a) Holdover Rent. If Subtenant fails to vacate the Premises or
commence demolition of the Main Building and related improvements (the removal
of any asbestos and all other Hazardous Materials, if any, in the Main Building
shall constitute, among other things, demolition for purposes of this
paragraph) as set forth in more detail in Paragraphs 32(b)-(d) on or before the
earlier of January 1, 2001 or the date thirty (30) days after the effective
date of the earlier termination of this Sublease, as such earlier date may be
extended pursuant to the terms below, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord an
amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the daily Rent due under this
Sublease immediately prior to such date for each day that Subtenant fails to
vacate the Premises or commence demolition of the Main Building and related
improvements as set forth above. For the purposes of the immediately preceding
sentence, Subtenant shall be deemed to have commenced demolition of the Main
Building and related improvements or commenced removal of asbestos and all
other Hazardous Materials, if any, in the Main Building if Subtenant has
undertaken activity in such regards which evidences Subtenant's clear and good
faith intention to complete such demolition and remediation in an expeditious
manner. Sublandlord's acceptance of any payments pursuant to this Paragraph
shall not constitute a consent to Subtenant's holdover or result in any renewal
of this Sublease. The provisions set forth herein are in addition to and do not
effect Sublandlord's right of re-entry or any other rights of Sublandlord under
this Sublease or at law.
6. Use of Premises.
(a) Restrictions on Use. Subtenant shall use the Premises (and the
Subtenant Improvements) for research and development, manufacturing, general
office purposes, and any other legally permitted use, provided such use is in
conformance and compliance with all applicable governmental laws, regulations,
rules and ordinances including, without limitation, all applicable
environmental and zoning and land use laws, regulations, rules, and ordinances
(collectively, "Law" or "Laws"). Except as required under Section 32 hereof,
Subtenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed, any waste upon the
Premises, the Subtenant Improvements or the Excluded Area, or any nuisance, or
allow the Premises, the Subtenant Improvements or the Excluded Area to be used
for any unlawful purpose or any purpose not permitted by this Sublease.
Subtenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall procure, maintain and make
available for Sublandlord's reasonable inspection throughout the Lease Term,
all governmental approvals, licenses and permits required for the proper and
lawful conduct of Subtenant's permitted uses of the Premises.
(b) Suitability. Subtenant acknowledges that neither Sublandlord nor
any agent or employee of Sublandlord has made any representation or warranty
with respect to the Premises, the Subtenant Improvements or the Excluded Area
or with respect to the suitability of
-7-
<PAGE> 8
the same for the conduct of the Subtenant's business, nor has Sublandlord
agreed to undertake any modification, alteration or improvement to the
Premises, except as provided in this Sublease. Subtenant acknowledges that
Sublandlord makes no representations regarding the use of the Premises, the
Subtenant Improvements or the Excluded Area by Subtenant or that the uses
permitted by Subparagraph 6(a) are allowed by governmental or
quasi-governmental agencies having jurisdiction or applicable laws, statutes,
ordinances, rules, regulations, orders or requirements now or hereafter in
effect.
7. Hazardous Materials. Subtenant and Subtenant's agents, employees,
contractors, assignees and subtenants may not use, place, store or transport
(collectively, "Use") Hazardous Material(s) (defined below) on or about any
portion of the Premises or Excluded Area or any other part of the Land (or in
connection with the use or operation of the Subtenant Improvements) unless
Subtenant complies with all applicable Laws with respect to the Use by
Subtenant, its agents, employees, contractors, assignees or subtenants of such
Hazardous Materials. Nothing herein shall be construed to allow Subtenant to
release or dispose of (collectively, "Release") Hazardous Materials in or about
any portion of the premises or Excluded Area unless such Release is in
compliance with applicable Laws. Any Use of the Hazardous Materials beyond the
scope allowed in this Paragraph and any Release of Hazardous Materials shall be
subject to Sublandlord's and Lessor's prior written consent, which may be
withheld in Sublandlord's or Lessor's sole and absolute discretion, and shall
require an amendment to the Sublease in the event Sublandlord and Lessor do
consent which shall set forth the materials, scope of use, indemnification and
any other matter required by Sublandlord and Lessor in Sublandlord's and
Lessor's sole and absolute discretion. Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and
hold Sublandlord and Sublandlord's agents harmless from and against any and all
claims, losses, damages, liabilities, or expenses arising in connection with
the Use or Release of Hazardous Materials on or following the Commencement Date
of this Sublease in violation of Law by Subtenant, Subtenant's agents,
employees, contractors, assignees or subtenants using the Premises or Excluded
Area. Subtenant's obligation to defend, hold harmless and indemnify pursuant to
this Paragraph 7 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Sublease.
The foregoing indemnity shall not apply to, and Subtenant shall not be
responsible hereunder for, the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or
about the Premises or Excluded Area to the extent caused by Sublandlord, its
agents, employees, contractors, assignees or subtenants (other than Subtenant);
provided that Sublandlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing
indemnity is intended to supplement that certain Indemnity Agreement between
Subtenant and Sublandlord in the form of Exhibit C to the Purchase Agreement
(the "Indemnity Agreement"), and to the extent the foregoing indemnity
contradicts Subtenant's obligations under the Indemnity Agreement, the
Indemnity Agreement shall prevail. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge
that all of Subtenant's indemnity obligations set forth in this Sublease are
supplemental to Subtenant's obligations set forth in the Indemnity Agreement.
Sublandlord shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to
Subtenant, to inspect, investigate, sample and/or monitor the Premises and
Excluded Area, including any soil, water, groundwater, or other sampling, to
the extent reasonably necessary to determine whether Subtenant is complying
with the terms of this Sublease with respect to Hazardous Materials. In
connection therewith, Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord with reasonable
access to all portions
-8-
<PAGE> 9
of the Premises, the Subtenant Improvements and the Excluded Area (subject to
reasonable security measures imposed by Subtenant); provided, however, that
Sublandlord shall avoid any unreasonable interference with the operation of
Subtenant's business on or in the Premises or the Excluded Area. All costs
reasonably incurred by Sublandlord in performing such inspections,
investigation, sampling and/or monitoring shall be reimbursed by Subtenant to
Sublandlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord's
demand for payment if it is determined that Hazardous Materials have been Used
by Subtenant or Subtenant's Agents on or after the Commencement Date of this
Sublease in violation of Laws or a Release of Hazardous Materials in violation
of Laws has occurred on, in or under the Premises or the Excluded Area, or any
portion thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease,
Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledges that (i) the Environmental Protection
Agency is currently overseeing cleanup measures that are being conducted at the
Land and at surrounding parcels of real property, (ii) the Land is part of a
regional Superfund site known as the Middlefield-Ellis-Whitman (MEW) site, (iii)
Raytheon, a former owner of the Land, is under a Consent Decree that provides
that Raytheon will perform groundwater and soil remediation for the property it
occupied and operated within the MEW area, (iv) in 1987, a soil-bentonite,
subsurface, slurry wall was installed by Raytheon around the perimeter of the
Land enclosing the soil and water bearing zones as part of the remedial measures
conducted by Raytheon, (v) a groundwater extraction and treatment system was
installed in 1987 on the Land and, as long term remedial measure, groundwater is
extracted from several wells located both within the boundaries of the Land and
from adjacent property, (vi) a soil vapor extraction system (covering
approximately a surface area of four acres and going to a depth of approximately
15 to 18 feet) was installed by Raytheon in 1996 to remediate the contaminated
soils in the Land and Raytheon has petitioned and obtained approval from the
Environmental Protection Agency for closure for part of the soil vapor remedial
system, and (vii) the groundwater and soil treatment facilities referred to
above are maintained by Raytheon and Raytheon has provided an indemnification to
Subtenant to protect it from clean up or other liability related to
contamination existing prior to the date Subtenant acquired title to the Land
and the improvements then located thereon.

Section 1317), as amended; (v) flammable explosives; (vi) radioactive
materials; or (vii) radon gas.
8. Taxes and Assessments.
(a) Subtenant's Property. Subtenant shall pay before delinquency any
and all taxes and assessments, license fees and public charges levied, assessed
or imposed upon or against Subtenant's trade fixtures, equipment, furnishings,
furniture, inventory, appliances and other personal property installed or
located on or within the Premises or Excluded Area, including, without
limitation, the Subtenant Improvements (except for the Subtenant Improvements
described in subparagraphs (viii), (x) and (xvi) of Section 2(a) above) to the
extent any such improvements are separately assessed (collectively, the
"personal property"). Subtenant shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cause said personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the
real property of Sublandlord. If any of Subtenant's said personal property
shall be assessed with Sublandlord's real property, Subtenant shall pay
Sublandlord, as Additional Rent, the taxes attributable to Subtenant's personal
property within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written statement from
Sublandlord setting forth the taxes applicable to Subtenant's property.
Subtenant shall comply with the provisions of any law, ordinance, rule or
regulation of taxing authorities which require Subtenant to file a report of
Subtenant's personal property located on or within the Premises or the Excluded
Area.
(b) Definition of Taxes. The term "Taxes" as used in this Sublease
shall collectively mean (to the extent any of the following are not paid by
Subtenant pursuant to Paragraphs 8(a) above, all real estate taxes and general
and special assessments (including, but not limited to, assessments for public
improvements or benefit); taxes based on vehicles utilizing parking areas on
the Excluded Area; environmental surcharges; gross rental receipts taxes; water
and sewer taxes, levies, assessments and other charges in the nature of real
property taxes or assessments (including, but not limited to, assessments for
public improvements or benefit); and all other governmental, quasi-governmental
or special district impositions of any kind and nature whatsoever; regardless
of whether any of the foregoing are now customary or within the contemplation
of the parties hereto and regardless of whether resulting from increased rate
and/or valuation, or whether extraordinary or ordinary, general or special,
unforeseen or foreseen, or similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing and
which during the Sublease Term are laid, levied, assessed or imposed upon or
which become a lien upon or chargeable against the Premises and/or the Excluded
Area under or by virtue of any present or future laws, statutes, ordinances,
regulations, or other requirements of any governmental, quasi-governmental or
special district authority whatsoever, excluding net income, succession,
transfer, gift, franchise, estate or inheritance taxes. The term "environmental
surcharges" shall include any and all expenses, taxes, charges or penalties
imposed by the Federal Department of Energy, Federal Environmental Protection
Agency, the Federal Clean Air Act, or any regulations promulgated thereunder,
or imposed by any other local, state or federal governmental agency or entity
now or hereafter vested with the power to impose taxes, assessments or other
types of surcharges as a means of controlling or abating environmental
pollution or the use of energy or any natural resource in
-10-
<PAGE> 11
regard to the use, operation or occupancy of the Premises and/or the Excluded
Area. The term "Taxes" shall include (to the extent the same are not paid by
Subtenant pursuant to Paragraph 8(a)), without limitation, all taxes,
assessments, levies, fees, impositions or charges levied, imposed, assessed,
measured, or based in any manner whatsoever upon or with respect to the use,
possession, occupancy, leasing, operation or management of the Premises and/or
the Excluded Area or in lieu of or equivalent to any Taxes set forth in this
Paragraph 8(b). In the event any such Taxes are payable by Sublandlord as
lessee of the Property and it shall not be lawful for Subtenant to reimburse
Sublandlord for such Taxes, then the Rentals payable hereunder shall be
increased to net Sublandlord the same net Rental after imposition of any such
Tax upon Sublandlord as would have been payable to Sublandlord prior to the
imposition of any such Tax.
(c) Taxes as Operating Expense. All Taxes which are levied or
assessed or which become a lien upon the Premises and/or the Excluded Area or
which become due or accrue during the Sublease Term shall be an Operating
Expense, and Subtenant shall pay as Additional Rent each month during the
Sublease Term, commencing on the Commencement Date, 1/12th of such Taxes, based
on Sublandlord's estimate thereof, pursuant to Paragraph 11 below. Taxes during
any partial tax fiscal year(s) within the Sublease Term shall be prorated
according to the ratio which the number of days during the Sublease Term or of
actual occupancy of the Premises by Subtenant, whichever is greater, during such
year bears to 365. In calculating Subtenant's share of Taxes to be paid under
this Sublease, during the period of the Sublease Term that the Excluded Area is
not a separate, legal parcel, the Taxes allocable to the Excluded Area shall be
based on the ratio that the acreage included within the Excluded Area bears to
the total acreage included within that portion of the Land (plus the assessed
value of any improvements and building located thereon) that is covered by the
tax bill covering the Excluded Area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall Subtenant's Share of Taxes include taxes assessed on any new improvements
constructed on the Developable Land.
9. Indemnity; Insurance.
(a) Indemnity. Subtenant agrees to indemnify, protect, defend (with
counsel selected by Subtenant and reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord) and
hold harmless Sublandlord, each Lender and their respective Agents (except to
the extent arising from the active negligence or willful misconduct of, or
breach of this Sublease by, Sublandlord, such Lender or their respective Agents)
against any and all claims, damages, losses, causes of action, judgments,
obligations and liabilities, and all reasonable expenses incurred in
investigating or resisting the same (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs), on account of, or arising out of (i) the operation,
use, or occupancy of the Premises and Excluded Area (and any and all of the
Subtenant Improvements except for the items set forth in subparagraphs (viii),
(x) and (xvi) of Paragraph 2(a)), or any part thereof, by Subtenant and/or its
Agents during the term of this Sublease, (ii) any occurrence in, on or about
the Premises and/or the Excluded Area during the term of this Sublease, or
(iii) any occurrence in, on or about the Premises or Excluded Area or Land, to
the extent caused by or contributed to by Subtenant and/or its Agents during
the term of this Sublease. The obligations of Subtenant under this Paragraph
9(a) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.
-11-
<PAGE> 12
(b) Insurance by Sublandlord. Sublandlord shall, during the Sublease
Term, procure and keep in force the following insurance, the cost of which
shall be an Operating Expense, payable by Subtenant pursuant to Paragraph 11
below:
(i) Liability Insurance. Commercial general liability or
comprehensive general liability insurance against any and all claims for
personal injury, death or property damage occurring in or about the Premises or
the Excluded Area in an initial amount of $2,000,000 per occurrence and
$2,000,000 in the aggregate with umbrella coverage of at least $5,000,000 per
occurrence and in the aggregate. Such insurance shall have such increased
limits of coverage as Sublandlord or Lessor may from time to time determine are
reasonably necessary for its protection, provided that in no event shall such
increased coverage exceed the coverage which is customary for similar buildings
in the South Bay area.
(c) Insurance by Subtenant. Subtenant shall, during the Sublease
Term, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, procure and keep in force the
insurance set forth in Paragraphs 9(c)(i), 9(c)(ii), 9(c)(iii) and 9(c)(iv)
below. All insurance that Subtenant is required to procure and maintain shall
provide that it may not be cancelled or materially modified without thirty (30)
days prior written notice to Sublandlord and Lessor.
(i) Liability Insurance. Commercial general liability or
comprehensive general liability insurance and naming Subtenant as insured and
Sublandlord and each Lender as additional insured, against any and all claims
for personal injury, death or property damage occurring in or about the Premises
or the Excluded Area, or arising out of Subtenant's or Subtenant's Agents' use
of the Excluded Area, use or occupancy of the Premises or Excluded Area or
Subtenant's operations on the Premises and Excluded Area. Such insurance shall
have a combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence and
$5,000,000 in the aggregate. Such insurance shall contain a cross-liability
(severability of interests) clause and an extended ("broad form") liability
endorsement, including blanket contractual coverage and motor vehicle liability
coverage. Such insurance shall name Lessor and Sublandlord as additional
insureds. Such liability insurance shall be primary and not contributing to any
insurance available to Lessor, Sublandlord or each Lender, and Lessor's,
Sublandlord's and each Lender's insurance (if any) shall be in excess thereto.
Such insurance shall specifically insure Subtenant's performance of the
indemnity, defense and hold harmless agreements contained in Paragraph 9(a),
although Subtenant's obligations pursuant to Paragraph 9(a) shall not be limited
to the amount of any insurance required of or carried by Subtenant under this
Paragraph 9(c)(i). Subtenant shall be responsible for insuring that the amount
of insurance maintained by Subtenant is sufficient for Subtenant's purposes.
Such liability insurance shall be primary and non-contributing to any insurance
available to Lessor and Sublandlord, but only as respects Subtenant's negligence
for bodily injury or property damage arising out of their business operations.
(ii) Business Interruption Insurance. Business interruption
insurance naming Sublandlord, Lessor and each Lender as additional insureds in
an amount sufficient to cover twelve (12) months of Subtenant's Rent obligation
under this Sublease.
(iii) Property Insurance. "All risk" property insurance,
providing protection against those perils included within the classification of
"all risk" insurance, on the
-12-
<PAGE> 13
Premises and Excluded Area, including any improvements or fixtures constructed
or installed on the Premises and Excluded Area by Sublandlord or Lessor.
(iv) Other. Such other insurance as required by law, including,
without limitation, workers' compensation insurance.
(v) Optional Insurance. Subtenant may, but shall not be obligated
to, during the Sublease Term, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, procure and
keep in force the following insurance:
(A) Personal Property Insurance. "All risk" property insurance,
providing protection against those perils included within the classification of
"all risk" insurance, on all leasehold improvements and Subtenant installed in
the Premises or on the Excluded Area by Subtenant at its expense (if any), and
on all equipment, trade fixtures, inventory, fixtures and personal property
located on or in the premises or the Excluded Area, including improvements or
fixtures hereinafter constructed or installed on the Premises or the Excluded
Area. Sublandlord shall have no interest in nor any right to the proceeds of any
insurance procured by Subtenant pursuant to this Subparagraph 9(c)(v)(A).
Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Sublandlord shall not be obligated under
this Sublease to maintain all risk or property insurance covering the leasehold
improvements or any equipment, trade fixtures, inventory, fixtures or personal
property referred to in this Subparagraph 9(c)(v)(A). If Sublandlord elects to
so obtain insurance covering Subtenant's obligations under this Subparagraph
9(c)(v)(A), the cost of such insurance shall not be an Operating Expense and
Subtenant shall be liable for the cost of any deductible amount relating to such
insurance.
(d) Failure by Subtenant to Obtain Insurance. If Subtenant does not take
out the insurance required pursuant to Paragraph 9(c)(i), 9(c)(ii), 9(c)(iii) or
9(c)(iv) or keep the same in full force and effect, without prior notice to
Subtenant, Sublandlord may, but shall not be obligated to, take out the
necessary insurance and pay the premium therefor, and Subtenant shall repay to
Sublandlord, as Additional Rent, the amount so paid promptly upon demand. In
addition, Sublandlord may recover from Subtenant and Subtenant agrees to pay, as
Additional Rent, any and all reasonable expenses (including reasonable
deductibles and attorneys' fees) and damages which Sublandlord may sustain by
reason of the failure of Subtenant to obtain and maintain such insurance, it
being expressly declared that the expenses and damages of Sublandlord shall not
be limited to the amount of the premiums thereon.
(e) Claims by Subtenant. Except to the extent arising out of the active
negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, any Lender or Sublandlord or any of
their respective Agents, neither Lessor, any Lender nor Sublandlord shall be
liable to Subtenant, and Subtenant waives all claims against Lessor, each Lender
and Sublandlord, for injury or death to any person, damage to any property, or
loss of use of any property in the Premises or the Excluded Area by and from all
causes, including without limitation, any defect in the Premises or the Excluded
Area and/or any damage or injury resulting from fire, steam, electricity, gas,
water or rain, which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises or
the Excluded Area, or from breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of
pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting
fixtures, whether the damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the
Premises or the Excluded Area or from other sources. The preceding to the
contrary
-13-
<PAGE> 14
notwithstanding, under no circumstances shall Lessor, any Lender or Sublandlord
be liable to Subtenant for any claim by Subtenant of lost profits, loss of
income or loss of business.
(f) Mutual Waiver of Subrogation. Sublandlord hereby releases
Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby releases Sublandlord (and, to the extent Lessor
carries any insurance on the Property or any furnishings, fixtures, equipment,
inventory or other property in, or about the Premises, Sublandlord shall use its
reasonable best efforts to cause Lessor to release Subtenant), and their
respective officers, agents, employees and servants, from any and all claims or
demands of damages, loss, expense or injury to the Premises or the Excluded Area
(or the Land), or to the furnishings, fixtures, equipment, inventory or other
property of either Sublandlord or Subtenant in, about or upon the Premises or
the Excluded Area (or the Land) (collectively, a "Claim"), which is caused by or
results from perils, events or happenings which are the subject of insurance
carried by the respective parties pursuant to this Paragraph 9 or otherwise and
in force at the time of any such loss, whether due to the negligence of the
other party or its agents and regardless of cause or origin; provided, however,
that such waiver shall be effective only to the extent permitted by the
insurance covering such loss, to the extent such insurance is not prejudiced
thereby, to the extent insured against and to the extent each such Claim is
fully satisfied by proceeds from such insurance. In the event of a Claim
concerning Subtenant's Use or Release of Hazardous Materials in, on or about the
Premises, the Excluded Area or the Land, Subtenant shall use any proceeds from
insurance received by Subtenant in connection with such Claim to remove and/or
remediate the Hazardous Materials.
10. Utilities. Subtenant shall pay during the Sublease Term and prior to
delinquency all charges for water, gas, light, heat, power, electricity,
telephone or other communication service, janitorial service, trash pick-up,
sewer and all other services supplied to Subtenant or consumed by Subtenant or
any of Subtenant's agents, contractors or invitees on the Premises or the
Excluded Area (collectively, the "Services") and all taxes, levies, fees or
surcharges therefor. Subtenant shall arrange for Services to be supplied to the
Premises and the Excluded Area and shall contract for all of the Services in
Subtenant's name prior to the Commencement Date. In the event that any of the
Services cannot be separately billed or metered to the Premises or the Excluded
Area, or if any of the Services are not separately metered as of the
Commencement Date, the cost of such Services shall be an Operating Expense and
Subtenant shall pay such cost to Sublandlord, as Additional Rent, as provided
in Paragraph 11 below.
11. Operating Expenses.
(a) Definition. "Operating Expense" or "Operating Expenses," as
used in this Sublease, shall mean and include all items identified in other
paragraphs of this Sublease as an Operating Expense and the reasonable and
necessary cost paid or incurred by Sublandlord for the operation, maintenance,
and repair of the Premises and Excluded Area, which costs shall include, without
limitation: the cost of any necessary Services and utilities supplied to the
Premises and Excluded Area (to the extent the same are not separately incurred
by, or charged or metered to, Subtenant). Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge
that, during the Sublease Term, the Premises and Excluded Area will be managed,
maintained and operated by Subtenant, at Subtenant's cost, in a continuation of
its present operations. Consequently, other than those costs or expenses that
are expressly identified in this Sublease as an Operating Expenses, neither
Sublandlord nor Subtenant contemplate any other expenses incurred or to be
incurred by
-14-
<PAGE> 15
Sublandlord to be passed through to Subtenant under this Sublease as an
Operating Expense or otherwise. Because Subtenant is responsible, pursuant to
the terms of Paragraph 12(b) of this Sublease, for repair and maintenance of
the Premises (and the interior improvements located therein) and all buildings,
structures and improvements located on the Excluded Area, Sublandlord should
not be incurring any repair or maintenance expenses with respect to the same
(and Sublandlord shall not be incurring any Operating Expenses to be passed
through to Subtenant with respect to the same except to the extent that
Sublandlord is reasonably likely to be exposed to criminal or civil liability
for any failure by Subtenant to perform any maintenance or repairs as
determined in Sublandlord's reasonable discretion, in which case sublandlord
may perform such repairs or maintenance following five (5) days advance written
notice to Subtenant if such repairs or maintenance have not been performed
within such 5-day period). If any Operating Expenses incurred by Sublandlord
are incurred with respect to the entire Land (and not just the Excluded Area),
then Subtenant's share of such Operating Expenses shall be in the ratio that the
acreage included within the Excluded Area bears to the acreage included within
the entire Land; provided, however, if the Premises, the Subtenant Improvements
and other buildings, structures or improvements located on the Excluded Area
are separately assessed from any other buildings, structures or improvements
situated on the Land, then Subtenant shall be obligated to pay one hundred
percent (100%) of all Taxes levied or assessed with respect to the Premises and
other buildings, structures or improvements located on the Excluded Area and
which become due or accrue during the term of this Sublease. If Sublandlord
subdivides or parcelizes the Land into two or more legal parcels (one of which
is the Excluded Area), and the Excluded Area and the buildings, structures and
improvements situated thereon are assessed separately from the balance of the
Land and the buildings, structures or improvements situated on such balance of
the Land, then Subtenant shall pay, as an Operating Expense, one hundred percent
(100%) of all necessary Operating Expenses incurred by Sublandlord in connection
with the Premises and the buildings, structures and other improvements located
on the Excluded Area and the Excluded Area (including, without limitation, Taxes
levied or assessed with respect to or against the Excluded Area and Taxes
allocable to the Premises, Subtenant Improvements and all leasehold
improvements, constructed or installed therein) and the buildings, structures,
and other improvements located on the Excluded Area.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease,
within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt by Subtenant of
Sublandlord's statement of Operating Expenses prepared pursuant to Paragraph
10(a) hereof for any prior annual period during the Sublease Term, Subtenant or
its authorized representative shall have the right to inspect the books of
Sublandlord during the business hours of Sublandlord at Sublandlord's office
or, at Sublandlord's option, such other location as Sublandlord reasonably may
specify, for the purpose of verifying the information contained in the
statement. Unless Subtenant asserts specific errors within one hundred eighty
(180) days after receipt of the statement, the statement shall be deemed
correct as between Sublandlord and Subtenant, except as to individual components
subsequently determined within one (1) year to be in error by future audit.
(b) Payment of Operating Expenses by Subtenant. Prior to the Commencement
Date, and annually thereafter, Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant an
estimate of necessary Operating Expenses incurred by Sublandlord (and not
otherwise incurred by Subtenant) for the succeeding year. Subtenant's payment
of Operating Expenses shall be based
-15-
<PAGE> 16
upon Sublandlord's estimate of Operating Expenses and shall be payable in equal
monthly installments in advance on the first day of each calendar month
commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Sublease Term.
(c) Exclusions From Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Sublease, in no event shall Subtenant have any
obligation to perform, to pay directly, or to reimburse Sublandlord for, all or
any portion of the following costs and expenses (collectively, "Costs"): (i)
the cost of any work performed (such as preparing a tenant's space for
occupancy, for renovating an existing tenant's premises, including painting and
decorating) or services provided (such as separately metered electricity) for
any tenant (including Subtenant) at such tenant's cost or provided by
Sublandlord without charge; (ii) the expenses and salaries of Sublandlord's
officers, partners, agents and employees or any general corporate overhead and
administrative expense of Sublandlord; (iii) the cost of any items for which
Sublandlord is actually reimbursed by insurance proceeds, condemnation awards,
or another tenant or occupant of another building located on the land; (iv) any
advertising or promotional expenses; (v) any costs representing an amount paid
to a related or affiliated person of Sublandlord which is in excess of the
amount which would have been paid in the absence of such relationship; (vi) any
expenses for repairs or maintenance unless permitted under Paragraph 11(a)
hereof or unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Subtenant or which are
actually reimbursed through warranties or guaranties (excluding any mandatory
deductibles); (vii) any electric power or other utility costs or expenses for
which Subtenant directly contracts with the local public service company;
(viii) any costs, including without limitation, attorneys' fees associated with
the operation of the business of the entity which constitutes Sublandlord,
including accounting and legal matters, costs of selling, syndicating,
financing, mortgaging or hypothecating any of Sublandlord's interest in the
Premises or the Land or any part thereof, costs of any dispute between
Sublandlord and its employees, disputes of Sublandlord with project management
or personnel or outside fees paid in connection with disputes with other
tenants; (ix) the cost of any work or services performed for any tenant
(including Subtenant) at such tenant's cost; (x) any reserves of any kind,
including without limitation, replacement reserves or reserves for bad debts or
lost rent; (xi) depreciation of the Premises or any improvements, buildings or
structures on the Land; (xii) cost of repairs, replacements or other work
occasioned by the exercise by governmental authorities of the right of eminent
domain; (xiii) the cost of repairs arising out of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Sublandlord or any of its agents, employees or
contractors; (xiv) any management fees, costs, or expenses incurred by
Sublandlord; (xv) costs of selling, syndicating, financing, mortgaging or
hypothecating any of Lessor's interest in the Premises or any other buildings,
structures or improvements on the Land; and (xvi) costs incurred for the
investigation and remediation of a Release of Hazardous Materials occurring
prior to the Commencement Date.
(d) Inspection of Records. Sublandlord agrees that any Operating
Expense statements submitted by Sublandlord shall be reasonably detailed and
certified as true and correct by Sublandlord. Sublandlord further agrees to
make available its books and records relating to Operating Expenses for
Subtenant's audit, upon reasonable notice, at Sublandlord's office. If such
audit discloses any errors, appropriate adjustments shall be made, and if such
errors are in excess of five percent (5%) of the amount charged to Subtenant,
Sublandlord shall pay for the reasonable costs of such audit within thirty (30)
days of demand.
-16-
<PAGE> 17
(e) Betterments. With respect to betterments or other extraordinary
or special assessments that may be included in the definition of Taxes,
Subtenant's obligations shall apply only to the extent such assessments are
payable during and in respect of the Sublease Term if paid over the longest
period permitted by law.
(f) Right to Contest. Subtenant at its cost shall have the right, at
any time, to seek a reduction in the assessed valuation of the Premises, or
other improvements located on the Excluded Area, and/or the Excluded Area, or
to contest any Taxes that are to be paid by Subtenant. If Subtenant seeks a
reduction or contests the Taxes, Subtenant shall continue to pay its share of
any such Taxes during such proceedings.
Sublandlord shall not be required to join in any proceedings or
contest brought by the Subtenant unless the provisions of any law require that
the proceeding or contest be brought by or in the name of Sublandlord or any
owner of the premises. In that case Sublandlord shall join in the proceeding or
contest or permit it to be brought in Sublandlord's name as long as Sublandlord
is not required to bear any cost. Subtenant, on final determination of the
proceeding or contest, shall immediately pay or discharge all costs, charges,
interest, and penalties incidental to the decision or judgment.
12. Repairs and Maintenance.
(a) [Intentionally Omitted]
(b) Subtenant's Repairs. Subtenant shall, at its sole cost, be
responsible for the repair and maintenance of the Premises (and the interior
improvements located therein) and all buildings, structures and improvements
located on the Excluded Area. Subtenant shall not allow the Premises or the
other buildings, structures or improvements located on the Excluded Area to
fall into such disrepair as to constitute a health or safety risk. Subtenant's
obligation shall extend to all alterations, additions and improvements to the
Premises, and all fixtures and appurtenances therein and thereto. Sublandlord
acknowledges that it is the responsibility of Subtenant (subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 32 below) to demolish the Premises and the other
buildings, structures and improvements located on the Excluded Area at or
following the expiration of the Sublease Term and, therefore, Sublandlord shall
not require Subtenant to maintain the Premises or other buildings, structures
or improvements located on the Excluded Area in good condition or repair during
the Sublease Term, except to the extent (1) Sublandlord reasonably determines
any maintenance to be necessary to avoid criminal or civil liability for any
failure by Subtenant to maintain or repair the Premises or any improvements
thereto, in which case Subtenant shall be obligated to take all actions
reasonably required by Landlord to address such potential liability arising
therefrom or (2) Subtenant's failure to maintain or repair the Premises
exacerbates any environmental condition or contamination in, on or about the
Premises or the Excluded Property.
Should Subtenant fail to keep the Premises or any other buildings,
structures or improvements located on the Excluded Area in safe condition
within fifteen (15) days after notice from Sublandlord or should Subtenant fail
thereafter to diligently perform its obligations under this Paragraph 12(b),
Sublandlord, in addition to all other remedies available hereunder or by law
and without waiving any alternative remedies, may take such reasonable steps as
to make
-17-
<PAGE> 18
the Premises or other buildings, structures or improvements on the Excluded Area
safe, and in that event, Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord as Additional
Rent for the reasonable costs so incurred by Sublandlord within fifteen (15)
days of written demand by Sublandlord.
Sublandlord shall have no maintenance or repair obligations whatsoever
with respect to the Premises or any buildings, structures or improvements
located thereon. Subtenant hereby expressly waives the provisions of Subsection
1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the Civil Code of California and
all rights to make repairs at the expense of Sublandlord as provided in Section
1942 of said Civil Code.
13. Alterations.
(a) Limitations. Subtenant shall not make, or suffer to be made, any
structural alterations, improvements or additions in, on, about or to the
Premises or any other buildings, structure or improvements located on the
Excluded Area, or any part thereof, without the prior consent of Sublandlord
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed as
long as Subtenant provides Sublandlord with additional rent in an amount equal
to the additional costs of demolition and removal associated with such
improvements valued in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000)) and without a
valid building permit issued by the appropriate governmental authority.
Sublandlord's consent shall not be required for interior non-structural
alterations within the Premises or any other buildings, structures or
improvements located on the Excluded Area as long as subtenant provides
Sublandlord with additional rent in an amount equal to the additional cost of
demolition and removal associated with such improvements valued in excess of Ten
Thousand Dollars ($10,000). Subtenant shall give written notice to Sublandlord
five (5) business days prior to employing any laborer or contractor to perform
services related to, or receiving materials for use upon the Premises or any
other buildings, structures or improvements located on the Excluded Area, and
prior to the commencement of any work of improvement on the Premises or any
other buildings, structures or improvements located on the Excluded Area. All
alterations or improvements made to the Premises by Subtenant shall be made in
accordance with applicable Laws and in a workmanlike manner.
At the time Subtenant requests Sublandlord's consent to any structural
alterations or improvements, Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant in writing
whether Sublandlord will require Subtenant, at Subtenant's expense, to remove
any such structural alterations or improvements and restore the Premises or
other improvements located on the Excluded Area to their prior condition at the
expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. All non-structural
alteration or improvements made by Subtenant to the Premises or other
improvements located on the Excluded Area during the Sublease Term, including,
without limitation, movable furniture and trade fixtures not affixed to the
Premises or other improvements located on the Excluded Area, shall be removed
from the Excluded Area by Subtenant at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, upon
the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease.
14. Default.
(a) Events of Default. A breach of this Sublease by Subtenant shall
exist if any of the following events (hereinafter referred to as "Event of
Default") shall occur:
-18-
<PAGE> 19
(i) Default in the payment when due of any Monthly Installment of
rent, Additional Rent or other payment required to be made by Subtenant
hereunder, where such default shall not have been cured within ten (10) days
after written notice of its default is given to Subtenant;
(ii) Subtenant's failure to perform any other term, covenant or
condition contained in this Sublease where such failure shall have continued
for thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure is given to

<PAGE> 20
(i) Recovery of Rent. Sublandlord shall be entitled to keep
this Sublease in full force and effect (whether or not Subtenant shall have
abandoned the Premises) and to enforce all of its rights and remedies under
this Sublease, including the right to recover rent and other sums as they become
due, plus interest at the Permitted Rate (as defined in Paragraph 31 below)
from the due date of each installment of rent or other sum until paid.
(ii) Termination. Sublandlord may terminate this Sublease by
giving Subtenant written notice of termination. On the giving of the notice all
of Subtenant's rights in the Premises and the Excluded Area shall terminate.
Upon the giving of the notice of termination, Subtenant shall surrender and
vacate the Premises and the Excluded Area in the condition required by
Paragraph 32, and Sublandlord may reenter and take possession of the Premises
and all the remaining improvements or property and eject Subtenant or any of
Subtenant's subtenants, assignees or other person or persons claiming any right
under or through Subtenant or eject some and not others or eject none. This
Sublease may also be terminated by a judgment specifically providing for
termination. Any termination under this Paragraph shall not release Subtenant
from the payment of any sum then due Sublandlord or from any claim for damages
or rent previously accrued or then accruing against Subtenant. In no event
shall any one or more of the following actions by Sublandlord constitute a
termination of this Sublease:
(A) Maintenance and preservation of the Premises (or any
other improvements, buildings, or structures located on the Excluded Area) or
the Excluded Area;
(B) Efforts to relet the Premises;
(C) Appointment of a receiver in order to protect
Sublandlord's interest hereunder;
(D) Consent to any subletting of the Premises or any other
buildings, structures or improvements located thereon or assignment of this
Sublease by Subtenant, whether pursuant to provisions hereof concerning
subletting and assignment or otherwise; or
(E) Any other action by Sublandlord or Sublandlord's
agents intended to mitigate the adverse effects from any breach of this
Sublease by Subtenant.
(iii) Damages. In the event this Sublease is terminated pursuant
to Subparagraph 14(b)(ii) above, or otherwise, Sublandlord shall be entitled to
damages in the following sums:
(A) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent
which has been earned at the time of termination; plus
(B) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which
the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time
of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Subtenant proves could
have been reasonably avoided; plus
-20-
<PAGE> 21
(C) 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 Subtenant proves could be reasonably avoided;
and
(D) Any other amount necessary to compensate Sublandlord
for all detriment proximately caused by Subtenant's failure to perform
Subtenant's obligations under this Sublease, or which in the ordinary course of
things would be likely to result therefrom.
(E) The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts
referred to in Subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this Subparagraph 14(b)(iii), is
computed by allowing interest at the Permitted Rate. The "worth at the time of
award" of the amounts referred to in Subparagraph (C) of this subparagraph
14(b)(iii) is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the
Federal Reserve Board of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent
(1%). The term "rent," as used in this Paragraph 14, shall include all sums
required to be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord pursuant to the terms of this
Sublease.
(c) Sublandlord shall be in default under this Sublease hereunder if
Sublandlord breaches an agreement, or fails to perform an obligation required of
Sublandlord within ten (10) days after notice in the case of a monetary
obligation, or thirty (30) days after notice in the case of a nonmonetary
obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of a nonmonetary obligation of
Sublandlord is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for
performance, then Sublandlord shall not be in default if Sublandlord commences
performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes the same to completion.
If Sublandlord breaches any agreement in this Sublease or fails to
make any payment or perform any other act on its part to be performed under
this Sublease, provided that Subtenant has delivered to Sublandlord (and
Sublandlord's Lender, if required) written notice of such default and
Sublandlord (or Sublandlord's Lender, if required) has failed to cure such
default within the time period required under this Section 14(c), Subtenant may
make such payment or cure such performance or breach to the extent Subtenant
deems desirable and, in connection therewith, pay reasonable expenses and
employ counsel. All sums reasonably advanced by Subtenant on Sublandlord's
behalf, any delinquent sums owed by Sublandlord to Subtenant under any
provision of this Sublease, and all penalties, interest and other costs in
connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys' fees and collection
costs, shall be due and payable by Sublandlord on written demand, together with
interest thereon from the date of delinquency at the Permitted Rate.
15. Destruction.
(a) Restoration or Maintain in Safe Condition. If the Premises or
Subtenant Improvements is damaged by any peril after the Commencement Date of
this Sublease such that Subtenant cannot reasonably run its normal business
operations in the Premises, Subtenant shall either (i) restore the same, or,
(ii) as reasonably agreed upon by Sublandlord and Subtenant, either (A) remove
the Main Building and related leasehold improvements in accordance with the
terms and conditions of Paragraph 32 hereof, and all Subtenant Improvements
(except for those Subtenant Improvements described in subparagraphs (viii), (x)
and (xvi) of Section 2(a)), or (B)
-21-
<PAGE> 22
place the damaged improvements or Excluded Area, as the case may be, in safe
condition; provided, however, the Sublandlord's and Subtenant's election under
clause (B) of the preceding sentence shall not be permitted unless the Sublease
is terminated by Tenant pursuant to Subparagraph 15(b). If a Release of
Hazardous Materials is placed, stored, transported or used by Subtenant and/or
Subtenant's Agents in, on or about the Property occurs as a result of such
peril, Subtenant shall investigate and clean up any contaminated soil and/or
groundwater contaminated by such Release to levels established by all
appropriate governmental agencies. All insurance proceeds available from the
property damage insurance carried by Subtenant pursuant to Paragraph 9(c)(v) of
this Sublease shall be paid to and become the property of Subtenant. If this
Sublease is not terminated by Subtenant as provided in Subparagraph 15(b), then
upon issuance of all necessary governmental permits, Subtenant shall either
commence and diligently prosecute to completion the restoration of the damaged
Premises or Subtenant Improvements, to the extent then allowed by Law, to
substantially the same condition in which the damaged Premises or Subtenant
Improvements was immediately prior to such damage, or remove the rubble
generated from such damage, if any, from the Excluded Area and cause such
Excluded Area to be placed in a safe condition. In the event of such damage to
the Premises or the Subtenant Improvements, Sublandlord shall have no obligation
to rebuild or restore the same (unless such damage was caused by the acts,
negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord) and Sublandlord shall have no
obligation to rebuild or restore any trade fixtures and/or personal property
and/or alterations, additions or other improvements constructed or installed by
Subtenant in the Premises.
(b) Subtenant's Right to Terminate. If the Premises or Subtenant
Improvements, or any portion thereof, is damaged by any peril, then as soon as
reasonably practicable, Subtenant shall obtain and deliver to Sublandlord an
opinion of Subtenant's architect or construction consultant as to when the
restoration work may be completed. Subtenant shall have the option to terminate
this Sublease in the event any of the following occurs, which option may be
exercised only by delivery to Sublandlord of a written notice of election to
terminate within sixty (60) days after Subtenant receives from Sublandlord the
estimate of the time needed to complete such restoration:
(i) The Premises or Subtenant Improvements, or any portion thereof,
is damaged by any peril and, in the reasonable opinion of Subtenant's
architect or construction consultant, the restoration of the damaged
improvements cannot be substantially completed within one hundred twenty (120)
days of the peril causing such damage.
(ii) The Premises or Subtenant Improvements is damaged by any peril
within twelve (12) months of the last day of the Sublease Term, and, in the
reasonable opinion of Subtenant's architect or construction consultant, the
restoration work cannot be substantially completed within the earlier of (1)
ninety (90) days after the date of such damage, or (2) sixty (60) days prior to
the expiration of the Sublease Term.
(c) Abatement of Rent. In the event of damage to the Premises or
Subtenant Improvements which does not result in the termination of this
Sublease, all Rentals shall be temporarily abated, but only to the extent such
amount is covered and paid for from the proceeds of business interruption
insurance carried by Subtenant, during the period of restoration, in proportion
to the degree to which Subtenant's use of the Premises and Subtenant
Improvements
-22-
<PAGE> 23
is impaired by such damage. All other Rentals due hereunder shall continue
unaffected during such period. Subtenant shall not be entitled to any
compensation from Sublandlord for loss of Subtenant's property or leasehold
improvements or loss to Subtenant's business or income caused by such damage or
restoration. Subtenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1932,
Subdivision 2, and Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the California Civil Code,
and the provisions of any similar law, hereinafter enacted.

shall have the right to use any and all reasonable means under the circumstance
to open the doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises, and
any entry to the Premises obtained by Sublandlord in an emergency shall not
under any circumstances be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a
detainer of, the Premises, or any eviction of Subtenant from the Premises.

comply with all Laws and with all requirements of any public body or officers
having jurisdiction over the Premises and with the requirements or regulations
of any Board of Fire Underwriters or insurance company insuring the Premises,
all at Subtenant's own expense without reimbursement from Sublandlord.
Subtenant need not, however, comply with any such Law or requirement of public
authority so long as Subtenant shall be contesting the validity thereof, or the
applicability thereof to the Premises.
20. Subordination. This Sublease is subject and subordinate to any and
all underlying leases, deeds of trust, assignments of leases and rents or other
security instruments existing as of the date of execution of this Sublease and
disclosed to Subtenant or which hereafter may be made
-24-
<PAGE> 25
and/or to any renewal, modification, replacement, extension or expansion
hereafter or any consolidation or spreader thereof theretofore or hereinafter
made (collectively, a "Security Instrument"); provided, however, that
notwithstanding any provisions with respect to the subordination of this
Sublease to any Security Instrument which now exists or may hereafter be made or
to any renewal, modification, replacement or extension hereafter of any Security
Instrument, or to any consolidation or spreader of any Security Instrument,
heretofore or hereafter made, any such subordination is subject to the express
conditions that so long as this Sublease is in full force and effect and no
Event of Default by Subtenant exists under this Sublease, (a) Subtenant shall
not be evicted from the Premises or the Excluded Area, nor shall Subtenant's
continuing use and occupancy of the Premises or the Excluded Area be
interrupted, restricted or impaired, nor shall any of Subtenant's rights under
this Sublease be affected in any way by reason of any default under such
Security Instrument; and (b) Subtenant's leasehold estate under the Sublease
shall not be terminated or disturbed by reason of any default under such
Security Instrument which does not arise from a default by Subtenant hereunder,
and this Sublease and Subtenant's rights hereunder, including any rights of
offset, shall be recognized by the lender or Lessor.
Sublandlord agrees to procure, execute and deliver to Subtenant and
Subtenant agrees to execute the same, all concurrently with the execution of
this Sublease, the written agreement of Lessor and Agent, on behalf of each
Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit "C" attached hereto (the "SNDA").
In the event of a default under any Security Instrument, Subtenant shall become
a subtenant of and attorn to the successor-in-interest to Sublandlord upon the
same terms and conditions contained in this Sublease and shall execute any
instrument reasonably required by Sublandlord's successor for that purpose
provided such successor in interest assumes the Sublandlord's obligations under
this Sublease accruing from and after the date such party becomes the successor
in interest. Subtenant shall also, upon written request of Sublandlord, execute
and deliver all instruments as may be reasonably required from time to time to
subordinate the rights of Subtenant under this Sublease to any underlying lease
or any deed of trust (provided that such instruments include the nondisturbance
and attornment provisions set forth above).
If the SNDA is not tendered to Subtenant, in addition to any other
rights and remedies available to Subtenant, Subtenant may, at its option, cancel
this Sublease on the date ten (10) days following such notice, and the Sublease
and the term and estate hereby granted shall then terminate at noon of such
cancellation date as if such cancellation date were the expiration date, unless
all of such agreements shall have been tendered meanwhile. Upon any such
cancellation, Sublandlord shall pay no further obligation to Subtenant hereunder
except to return any moneys theretofore paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord as Rent
under this Sublease.
21. Notices. Any notice required or desired to be given under this
Sublease shall be in writing with copies directed as below and shall be
personally served or given by mail. Any notice given by mail shall be deemed to

Sublease, to recover rent or possession of the Premises or the Excluded Area, to
terminate this Sublease, or to enforce, interpret, protect or establish any term
or covenant of this Sublease or right or remedy of either party, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover as a part of such action or proceeding,
reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs for appeal, as may be fixed by the court or jury. The term "prevailing
party" shall mean the party who received substantially the relief requested,
whether by settlement, dismissal, summary judgment, judgment, or otherwise.
23. Subleasing and Assignment.
(a) Sublandlord's Consent Required. Subtenant's interest in this Sublease
is not assignable, by operation of law or otherwise (except as may be required
for security purposes), nor shall Subtenant have the right to sublet the
Premises or the Excluded Area, transfer any interest of Subtenant therein or
permit any use of the Premises by another party, without the prior written
consent of Lessor and Sublandlord to each such assignment, subletting, transfer
or use, which consent Sublandlord may withhold in its sole discretion. A consent
to one assignment, subletting, occupancy or use by another party shall not be
deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupancy or
use by another party. Any assignment or
-26-
<PAGE> 27
subletting without such consent shall be void and shall, at the option of
Sublandlord, terminate this Sublease.
Lessor's or Sublandlord's waiver or consent to any assignment or
subletting hereunder shall not relieve Subtenant from any obligation under this
Sublease unless the consent shall so expressly provide in writing.
(b) Transfers to an Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Subtenant may, without Lessor's or Sublandlord's prior written consent, assign
its interest in the Sublease or sublet the Premises or Excluded Area, or a
portion thereof to (i) a subsidiary, affiliate, division or corporation
controlled by or under common control with Subtenant; provided that (a)
Sublandlord receives written notice of the name and address of the proposed
transferee, (b) the transferee assumes the obligations of the Subtenant under
this Sublease in a written instrument, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Sublandlord, which shall be delivered to Sublandlord as a
condition precedent to the effectiveness of such assignment; and (c) the
transferor tenant remains liable as a primary obligor for the obligations of
Subtenant under this Sublease.
24. Successors. The covenants and agreements contained in this Sublease
shall be binding on the parties hereto and on their respective heirs,
successors and assigns (to the extent the Sublease is assignable).
25. Mortgagee Protection. In the event of any default on the part of
Sublandlord, Subtenant will give notice by registered or certified mail to any
beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee of a mortgage encumbering the
Premises, whose address shall have been previously furnished to Subtenant. So
long as such beneficiary or mortgagee is making reasonable efforts to cure the
default, including, but not limited to, obtaining possession of the Premises
by power of sale or judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to
effect a cure, Subtenant shall not have the right to terminate this Sublease.
26. Estoppel Certificate. Subtenant agrees within fifteen (15) business
days following reasonable request by Sublandlord to execute and deliver to
Sublandlord any documents, including estoppel certificates presented to
Subtenant by Sublandlord, (1) certifying that this Sublease is unmodified and
in full force and effect and the date to which the rent and other charges are
paid in advance, if any, and (2) acknowledging that there are not, to
Subtenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Sublandlord
hereunder, or specifying the defaults, if any, and (3) evidencing the status of
the Sublease as may be required either by a Lender making a loan or any other
advance to Sublandlord to be secured by a deed of trust or mortgage covering
the Premises or a purchaser of the Premises from Sublandlord.
27. Surrender of Sublease Not Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of
this Sublease by Subtenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a
merger and shall, at the option of Sublandlord, terminate all or any existing
subleases or subtenants, or operate as an assignment to Sublandlord of any or
all such subleases or subtenants.
28. Waiver. The waiver by Sublandlord or Subtenant of any breach of any
term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of such term, covenant
-27-
<PAGE> 28
or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant
or condition herein contained. Any waiver shall be in writing and signed by
both Sublandlord and Subtenant.
29. General.
(a) Captions. The captions and Paragraph headings used in this
Sublease are for the purposes of convenience only. They shall not be construed

Sublease, but this Sublease shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision had not been contained herein. This Sublease shall be
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

from Subtenant, or any other sum due under this Sublease from Subtenant, which
is received by Sublandlord after the date ten (10) days following the date
written notice is given by Sublandlord to Subtenant that such sum has not been
paid when due, shall bear interest from said due date until paid, at an annual
rate equal to the greater of (the "Permitted Rate"): (1) ten percent (10%); or
(2) five percent (5%) plus the rate established by the Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco, as of the twenty-fifth (25th) day of the month immediately
preceding the due date, on advances to member banks under Sections 13 and 13(a)
of the Federal Reserve Act, as now in effect or hereafter from time to time
amended. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by

incurred by Sublandlord in collection of such amounts.
32. Surrender of the Premises.
(a) Removal of Property. On the last day of the Sublease Term, or on
the sooner termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall surrender the Premises

except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 32. Not later than the
expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease Terms, Subtenant shall remove
all of Subtenant's personal property and trade fixtures (including, without
limitation, all machinery and equipment) from the Main Building, and all
property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned by Subtenant and may be
removed by Sublandlord at Subtenant's sole cost and expense. Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, at the expiration or earlier termination of the
Sublease Term, Subtenant shall not be obligated to remove from the Excluded
Area any "Remediation Equipment" as such term is defined in that certain Grant
of Easements, Restriction and Indemnity Agreement dated December 24, 1997,
executed by Raytheon Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as grantor,
and Raytheon Company, as grantee, and recorded in the Official Records of Santa
Clara County on December 30, 1997, as Document No.: 13994862 (the "Easements
Agreement").
(b) Demolition of Main Building and Related Improvements.
(i) The parties hereto agree that Subtenant shall (A) complete
the demolition of the Main Building and related structures and improvements
including, without limitation, the Subtenant Improvements (except for those
items set forth in subparagraphs (viii), (x) and (xvi) of Paragraph 2(a) of
this Sublease) on the Excluded Area and the Main Building foundation, (B)
complete, at Subtenant's cost, the remediation of any contaminated soil
underlying the Main Building or related improvements (as further discussed in
Paragraph 32(d) below) either (i) to levels at or below the cleanup level or
standards established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
Record of Decision for the Raytheon facility, or (ii) to levels acceptable to
the environmental agency or agencies having jurisdiction over such cleanup or
remediation (such levels described in clauses (i) or (ii) above being referred
to hereinafter as the "Soil Remediation Standard") and (C) obtain, at
Subtenant's cost, an "environmental closure" pertaining to the operations of
Subtenant within the Main Building and related facilities, as required by all
applicable governmental agencies having jurisdiction over such closure (the
items set forth in subparagraphs (A), (B) and (C) of this subparagraph are
collectively referred to as the "Demolition") on or before January 1, 2001
(such date is referred to herein as the "Departure Deadline"), without any
liability of Sublandlord or Lessor, as the case may be, for overtime or
-29-
<PAGE> 30
additional labor resulting from Subtenant's failure, if applicable, to
correctly estimate the time necessary for completion of the Demolition. For
purposes of this Paragraph 32(b), Subtenant shall be deemed to have completed
the soil contamination remediation referred to above, if applicable, at such
time as (Y) Subtenant's environmental consultant overseeing such remediation
confirms or states in writing that soil contamination under the Main Building,
if any, has been remediated to levels that meet the Soil Remediation Standard,
or (Z) Subtenant causes, at Subtenant's cost, an environmental assessment of
the soil under the demolished Main Building to be performed by an environmental
consultant and such assessment indicates that the soil under the demolished
Main Building and related improvements does not contain Hazardous Materials in
violation of the Soil Remediation Standard. The environmental consultant
referred to in the preceding sentence shall be selected by Subtenant and
approved by Sublandlord and Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Sublandlord and Lessor shall approve or disapprove of the
environmental consultant selected by Subtenant within five (5) days of receipt
of such contractor's identity as well as written information about the
contractor's experience and credentials. If Sublandlord or Lessor fail to
disapprove such contractor within such five (5) day period, Sublandlord and
Lessor shall be deemed to have approved such contractor. Any report prepared by
such contractor shall be addressed to the Financing Parties. Alternatively,
such contractor shall provide the Financing Parties with a signed statement
that they may rely on such report.
(ii) Subtenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete
the Demolition in an expeditious manner following the expiration or earlier
termination of the Sublease Term in order to permit Sublandlord or Lessor, as
the case may be, to commence development of the Excluded Area. Sublandlord, in
its own capacity or as construction agent of Lessor, agrees to reasonably
cooperate with Subtenant in Subtenant's efforts to cause the applicable
governmental agency or agencies to respond in a timely manner to Subtenant's
plan for removal of any contaminated soil from under the Main Building or the
related improvements. Sublandlord and Lessor agree to reasonably cooperate with
Subtenant with regard to the Demolition and not to unreasonably interfere with,
delay or impair Subtenant's efforts to complete the demolition in an expeditious
manner. If, however, Subtenant fails to complete the Demolition on or before the
Departure Deadline, then Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, as Sublandlord's
sole and exclusive remedy for such delay in the completion of the Demolition,
liquidated damages in a per day amount equal to the Monthly Installment of rent
paid by Subtenant for the month immediately preceding the expiration or earlier
termination of the Sublease Term divided by thirty (30) for each day from and
after the Departure Deadline until the Demolition is completed. Nothing within
the preceding sentence shall preclude Sublandlord or Lessor from exercising any
rights or remedies against Subtenant under the Purchase Agreement (to the extent
such remedies survive the close of escrow thereunder) or that certain
Environmental Indemnity Agreement by and between Sublandlord and Subtenant (the
"Indemnity Agreement").
(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph 32(b)(ii) above,
if Subtenant fails to complete the Demolition on or before the Departure
Deadline due to Subtenant's failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to
complete the Demolition in an expeditious manner, Subtenant shall pay
Sublandlord, as Sublandlord's sole and exclusive remedy for Subtenant's failure
to complete the Demolition on or before the Departure Deadline,
-30-
<PAGE> 31
liquidated damages in the amount of Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($7,500) per day for each day that Subtenant fails to complete the Demolition
by or after the Departure Deadline due to Subtenant's breach of its obligation
under the first sentence of subparagraph 32(b)(ii). Nothing within the
preceding sentence shall preclude Sublandlord from exercising any remedies
against Subtenant under the Purchase Agreement (to the extent such remedies
survive the close of escrow thereunder) or the Indemnity Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant shall only be obligated to pay
liquidated damages in the amount set forth in this subparagraph
32(b)(iii)(instead of the amount set forth in subparagraph 32(b)(ii) above) for
each day after the Departure Deadline that the Demolition has not been
completed and Sublandlord or Lessor, as the case may be, is ready to commence
grading or the construction of improvements on the Excluded Area or any portion
thereof; provided, however, that if the condition of the Excluded Area prevents
or delays the Sublandlord's ability to commence grading or construction
thereon, the condition set forth in this sentence shall not apply.
(iv) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Sublandlord's
carrying costs, lost opportunity costs and other expenses incurred by
Sublandlord as a result of not having full and unrestricted access to the
Excluded Area by the Departure Deadline are impracticable or extremely
difficult to ascertain. The parties hereto agree that the amounts of liquidated
damages set forth in subparagraph 32(b)(ii) and 32(b)(iii) are reasonable
estimates of the damages that will be incurred by Sublandlord in the event
Subtenant is not able to complete the Demolition by the Departure Deadline. By
executing this paragraph below, the parties hereto agree to the provisions of
these liquidated damages provisions.
Subtenant: [INIT] Sublandlord:
-------- --------
(c) Remediation of Contaminated Soil. If contaminated soil is
discovered under the approximately 119,000 square foot Main Building and/or
related improvements following the demolition of the same by Subtenant, then
such contaminated soil shall not be treated or remediated by Subtenant on the
Excluded Area after the Departure Deadline. If Subtenant has not disposed of or
remediated any such contaminated soil underlying the Main Building and/or
related improvements by the Departure Deadline, then Subtenant agrees to
dispose or treat, or cause to be disposed or treated, such soil contamination
off-site at a registered hazardous waste disposal site (if legally required) or
off-site as required by applicable environmental Laws, with Subtenant or
Raytheon Company named on all permits and manifests with respect to such
contaminated soil as the party responsible for such disposal or treatment
(i.e., the generator). Sublandlord acknowledges and agrees that if contaminated
soil is discovered under the Main Building and/or related improvements
following the demolition of such Main Building and related improvements, and if
Subtenant reasonably believes that Raytheon Company is responsible for the
clean up or remediation of such contaminated soil (or for the cost of clean up
or remediation), then Subtenant will promptly notify Raytheon Company of such
contamination and request that Raytheon Company undertake the disposal or
treatment of such contaminated soil as provided above. Subtenant shall have no
liability to Sublandlord or Lessor for the clean up or remediation of such
contaminated soil if Raytheon Company accepts responsibility for the clean up
or remediation of such contaminated soil in accordance with the terms set forth
above and disposes of or treats such contamination such that it is removed or
remediated in accordance with applicable environmental laws and regulations by
the Departure

liquidated damages in the amount of Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($7,500) per day for each day that Subtenant fails to complete the Demolition
by or after the Departure Deadline due to Subtenant's breach of its obligation
under the first sentence of subparagraph 32(b)(ii). Nothing within the
preceding sentence shall preclude Sublandlord from exercising any remedies
against Subtenant under the Purchase Agreement (to the extent such remedies
survive the close of escrow thereunder) or the Indemnity Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant shall only be obligated to pay
liquidated damages in the amount set forth in this subparagraph 32(b)(ii)
(instead of the amount set forth in subparagraph 32(b)(ii) above) for each day
after the Departure Deadline that the Demolition has not been completed and
Sublandlord or Lessor, as the case may be, is ready to commence grading or the
construction of improvements on the Excluded Area or any portion thereof;
provided, however, that if the condition of the Excluded Area prevents or
delays the Sublandlord's ability to commence grading or construction thereon,
the condition set forth in this sentence shall not apply.
(iv) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Sublandlord's
carrying costs, lost opportunity costs and other expenses incurred by
Sublandlord as a result of not having full and unrestricted access to the
Excluded Area by the Departure Deadline are impracticable or extremely
difficult to ascertain. The parties hereto agree that the amounts of liquidated
damages set forth in subparagraph 32(b)(ii) and 32(b)(iii) are reasonable
estimates of the damages that will be incurred by Sublandlord in the event
Subtenant is not able to complete the Demolition by the Departure Deadline. By
executing this paragraph below, the parties hereto agree to the provisions of
these liquidated damages provisions.

------------------- -------------------
(c) Remediation of Contaminated Soil. If contaminated soil is
discovered under the approximately 119,000 square foot Main Building and/or
related improvements following the demolition of the same by Subtenant, then
such contaminated soil shall not be treated or remediated by Subtenant on the
Excluded Area after the Departure Deadline. If Subtenant has not disposed of or
remediated any such contaminated soil underlying the Main building and/or
related improvements by the Departure Deadline, then Subtenant agrees to
dispose or treat, or cause to be disposed or treated, such soil contamination
off-site at a registered hazardous waste disposal site (if legally required) or
off-site as required by applicable environmental Laws, with Subtenant or
Raytheon Company named on all permits and manifests with respect to such
contaminated soil as the party responsible for such disposal or treatment
(i.e., the generator). Sublandlord acknowledges and agrees that if contaminated
soil is discovered under the main building and/or related improvements
following the demolition of such Main Building and related improvements, and if
Subtenant reasonably believes that Raytheon Company is responsible for the
clean up or remediation of such contaminated soil (or for the cost of clean up
or remediation), then Subtenant will promptly notify Raytheon Company of such
contamination and request that Raytheon Company undertake the disposal or
treatment of such contaminated soil as provided above. Subtenant shall have no
liability to Sublandlord or Lessor for the clean up or remediation of such
contaminated soil if Raytheon Company accepts responsibility for the clean up
or remediation of such contaminated soil in accordance with the terms set forth
above and disposes of or treats such contamination such that it is removed or
remediated in accordance with applicable environmental laws and regulations by
the Departure
-31-
<PAGE> 33
Deadline. The parties agree that any contaminated soil discovered under the Main
Building or the related improvements shall be remediated or treated by
Subtenant, at Subtenant's sole cost (except as set forth in the preceding
sentence), to levels that meet the Soils Remediation Standard. Subtenant shall
not be obligated to remove any contaminated soil or other Hazardous Materials
discovered under the Main Building or related improvements (or on or under the
Excluded Area) if the same is remediated or treated to levels that meet the Soil
Remediation Standard.
(d) Costs of Demolition.
(i) Prior to vacating the Main Building (which shall occur not
later than December 31, 2000), Subtenant shall contract with a licensed
contractor to demolish, at Lessor's cost (to the extent the funding requirements
set forth in that certain Participation Agreement dated April __, 1999 among
Lessor, Sublandlord and others (the "Participation Agreement") and that certain
Agency Agreement dated April __, 1999 between Lessor and Sublandlord (the
"Agency Agreement") are satisfied, the Main Building (and certain related
structures and improvements located on the Excluded Area), including, without
limitation, the foundation of the Main Building. If the funding requirements set
forth in the Participation Agreement and the Agency Agreement are not satisfied,
the items identified in the preceding sentence as being at Lessor's costs shall
be at Sublandlord's cost. Subtenant shall have the right to select the
contractor to perform such demolition work. The contractor shall be selected
through a bid process in which Subtenant shall obtain bids from not less than
three licensed contractors selected by Subtenant and approved by Sublandlord, as
Lessor's agent, which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Based on
such bids and any other information that the Subtenant may reasonably consider,
Subtenant shall select the contractor to perform the demolition and such
contractor selected by Subtenant shall be subject to the approval of
Sublandlord and Lessor (which such approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld). Subtenant's contract with such contractor shall contain terms that
are commercially reasonable for such a contract. Sublandlord and Lessor shall
provide the approvals or disapprovals set forth in this subparagraph within
five (5) days of receipt of the information about the contractors selected by
Subtenant to make bids or the bids and the identity of the contractor selected
by Subtenant to perform the work. If Sublandlord or Lessor fails to disapprove
such contractor(s) within such five (5) day period, Sublandlord and Lessor
shall be deemed to have approved such contractor(s). If Sublandlord or Lessor
reasonably disapproves any bidders or contractor selected by Subtenant, then,
concurrently with notifying Subtenant of its disapproval, Sublandlord or
lessor, as the case may be, shall provide Subtenant in writing with the name,
address and telephone number of a replacement bidder or contractor, as the case
may be, acceptable to Sublandlord and Lessor.
(ii) Lessor shall pay (to the extent the funding requirements set
forth in the Participation Agreement and the Agency Agreement are satisfied)
one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of demolishing and removing from the
Property the Main Building and related structures and improvements located on
the Excluded Area, including the foundation of the Main Building (and the cost
of removing such demolished Main Building, foundations, structures and
improvements from the Property). If the funding requirements set forth in the
Participation Agreement and the Agency Agreement are not satisfied, the items
identified in the preceding sentence as being paid by Lessor shall be paid by
Sublandlord, except as set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Subtenant shall be responsible for (A) the cost of
-32-
<PAGE> 34
removal of any Hazardous Materials, including asbestos, located within the Main
Building, (B) the cost of removal (or remediation as provided above) in
compliance with applicable Laws of any asbestos or other Hazardous Materials
located under the Main Building to levels that meet the Soils Remediation
Standard (except Subtenant shall not be responsible hereunder for removal of any
groundwater contamination under the Main Building) and (C) the cost of
demolishing/removing the improvements constructed after the Commencement Date of
this Sublease by or on behalf of Subtenant identified in Paragraph 13(a) above.
The cost to be borne by Lessor (the "Cost to Lessor") (to the extent the funding
requirements set forth in the Participation Agreement and the Agency agreement
are satisfied) for demolishing the Main Building and related structures and
improvements on the Excluded Area shall be net of the cost of health and safety
plans and procedures incurred by Subtenant and/or Subtenant's affiliates,
agents, employees or contractors for demolition and removal of the improvements,
and the cost of protective measures for construction workers incurred by
Subtenant and/or Subtenant's affiliates, agents, employees or contractors
relating to any Hazardous Materials within or under the Main Building, which
shall be at Subtenant's (or Raytheon's) cost. If the funding requirements set
forth in the Participation Agreement and the Agency Agreement are not satisfied,
the items identified in the preceding sentence as being at Lessor's costs of
Demolition shall be borne by Subtenant.
(iii) Upon Sublandlord's selection of a contractor, Sublandlord shall
cause Lessor (to the extent the funding requirements set forth in the
Participant Agreement and the Agency Agreement are satisfied) to deposit into an
interest bearing escrow account as quickly as practicable under the Financing
Documents, but in no event more than forth (40) days after Sublandlord's
approval of the contractor as set forth in subparagraph 32(d)(ii) above, an
amount equal to such contractor's estimated Cost to Lessor. If Sublandlord or
Lessor fails to cause such amount to be deposited into the escrow account as
provided herein, Subtenant shall not be required to demolish the Main Building
and related improvements or remediate any soil contamination under the Main
Building, if any, or remove any asbestos from the Main Building or any of the
related improvements. Upon Subtenant's submission to the escrow holder of
reasonably detailed documentation with respect to costs actually incurred with
respect to the Demolition which are Costs to Lessor, the escrow holder shall
promptly disburse from the escrow account to Subtenant or Subtenant's designees
funds sufficient to pay such Costs to Lessor. In the event the total Costs to
Lessor are less than the amount held in escrow, all remaining amounts held in
the escrow account shall be returned to Sublandlord, as agent for Lessor. In the
event the total Costs to Lessor exceed the amount held in escrow, Lessor shall
promptly reimburse Subtenant (to the extent the funding requirements set forth
in the Participation Agreement and the Agency Agreement are satisfied) such
additional costs. If the funding requirements set forth in the Participation
Agreement and the Agency Agreement are not satisfied, the items identified in
the preceding sentence as being reimbursed by Lessor shall be reimbursed by
Sublandlord.
(vi) The parties hereto agree that Subtenant or Raytheon Company
shall be identified as the party responsible for the proper disposal of any
Hazardous Materials within the Main Building (e.g., asbestos) or contaminated
soil to be removed from the Excluded Area as part of the demolition and removal
obligations referred to in this paragraph, and in the
-33-
<PAGE> 35
event Subtenant or Raytheon Company fails to timely and completely perform such
asbestos and contaminated soil removal or remediation as provided above,
Sublandlord, in addition to Sublandlord's other remedies under this Sublease,
may, as Lessor's agent, elect to do so (with Subtenant named on all permits and
manifests relating to such asbestos and contaminated soil removal) and, in such
event, Subtenant shall reimburse, or cause Raytheon Company to reimburse,
Lessor for its reasonable costs incurred in removing such asbestos and
contaminated soil from or under the Main Building and related structures as
provided above. Such reimbursement shall be required to be made within thirty
(30) days following receipt of a written notice or statement setting forth in
reasonable detail such costs to be reimbursed.
(e) Relocation of Remediation Well Sites and Equipment. Subtenant
agrees to reasonably cooperate with Sublandlord, as Lessor's agent, promptly to
engineer and relocate, on Sublandlord's reasonable request and at Subtenant's
cost, any existing soil or water remediation well sites and equipment (as
further set forth in Section 9.1(g) of the Purchase Agreement) which Subtenant
is not required to remove pursuant to Paragraph 32 herein. Sublandlord agrees
to reasonably cooperate with Subtenant with respect to the engineering and
relocation of such items. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation,
the prompt delivery to Subtenant of any development plans for the Property and
Sublandlord's participation in good faith and timely discussions with Subtenant
regarding the relocation of such items.
(f) Survival. The obligations of Lessor, Subtenant and Sublandlord
under this Paragraph 32 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Sublease.
33. Authority. The undersigned parties hereby warrant that they have
proper authority and are empowered to execute this Sublease on behalf of
Sublandlord and Subtenant, respectively.
34. Brokers. Sublandlord and Subtenant each represent and warrant to the
other that it has not dealt with any broker respecting this transaction other
than Cornish & Carey Commercial ("C&C"); however, no commission shall be owing
to C&C based on the parties hereto entering into this Sublease. Each party
hereto agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against
damages, losses, liabilities, claims, demands, costs or expenses suffered or
incurred by the other in the event of any breach by such party of any
representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Paragraph 34.
35. Consent. Wherever in this Sublease it is provided that either party
shall not unreasonably withhold consent or approval, such consent or approval
(collectively referred to as "consent") shall also not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. If a party considers that the other party has
unreasonably withheld or delayed a consent, it shall so notify the other party
within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of denial of the requested consent
or, in case notice of denial is not received, within twenty (20) days after
giving the first-mentioned notice, may submit the question of whether the
withholding or delaying of such consent is unreasonable to determination by
arbitration.
36. Right of Sublandlord to Perform. Except as provided otherwise herein,
all covenants and agreements to be performed by Subtenant under this Sublease
shall be performed at Subtenant's sole cost and expense and without any
abatement of rent or right of set-off. If
-34-
<PAGE> 36
Subtenant fails to pay any sum of money, other than rent, or fails to perform
any other act on its part to be performed under this Sublease, and the failure
continues beyond any applicable grace or cure period set forth herein then in
addition to any other available remedies, Sublandlord may, at its election make
the payment or perform the other act on Subtenant's part. Sublandlord's election
to make the payment or perform the act on Subtenant's part shall not give rise
to any responsibility of Sublandlord to continue making the same or similar
payments or performing the same or similar acts. Subtenant shall, promptly upon
demand by Sublandlord, reimburse Sublandlord for all reasonable sums paid by
Sublandlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest at the
Permitted Rate or two percent (2%) above the prime rate announced by Bank of
America from time to time, whichever is greater from the date of payment by
Sublandlord. Sublandlord shall have the same rights and remedies if Subtenant
fails to pay those amounts as Sublandlord would have in the event of a default
by Subtenant in the payment of rent. Sublandlord shall provide Sublandlord with
written notice and the appropriate cure period provided in the Lease before
performing any act on behalf of Subtenant and will provide Subtenant with
written request for any reimbursement payable hereunder.
37. Expenses and Legal Fees. All sums reasonably incurred by Sublandlord
in connection with any Event of Default by Subtenant under this Sublease or
holding over of possession by Subtenant after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Sublease, including without limitation all reasonable
costs, expenses and reasonable accountants, appraisers, attorneys and other
professional fees, and any collection agency or other collection charges, shall
be due and payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord on demand, and shall bear
interest at the Permitted Rate. Should either Sublandlord or Subtenant bring
any action in connection with this Sublease, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover as a part of the action its reasonable attorneys' fees, and
all other costs. The prevailing party for the purpose of this paragraph shall
be determined by the trier of the facts.
38. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. SUBLANDLORD AND SUBTENANT EACH ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT IS AWARE OF AND HAS HAD THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE WITH
RESPECT TO ITS RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY, AND EACH PARTY DOES HEREBY EXPRESSLY
AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE AND RELEASE ALL SUCH RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER
(AND/OR AGAINST ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SUBSIDIARY OR
AFFILIATED ENTITIES) ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, TENANT'S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, AND/OR
ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE.
39. Satisfaction of Judgment. The obligations of Sublandlord and
Subtenant do not constitute the personal obligations of the directors, officers
or shareholders of Sublandlord or its constituent partners. Should Subtenant
recover a money judgment against Sublandlord, such judgment shall be satisfied
only out of the proceeds of sale received upon execution of such judgment and
levied thereon against the right, title and interest of Sublandlord in the
Property and out of the rent, insurance proceeds or other income from such
property receivable by Sublandlord or out of consideration received by
Sublandlord from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of
Sublandlord's right, title or interest in the Property, and no action for any
deficiency may be sought or obtained by Subtenant.

<PAGE> 37
40. Changes Required by Accounting Rules. If, in connection with
obtaining synthetic lease financing for the acquisition and development of the
Property, Sublandlord is required to make modifications to this Sublease in
order to comply with all applicable accounting requirements for such financing,
Subtenant will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent, provided that
the modifications do not increase the obligations of Subtenant or impair
Subtenant's rights under this Sublease.
41. Security Measures. Subtenant hereby acknowledges that Sublandlord
shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide guard service or other security
measures for the benefit of the Premises or the Property. Subtenant assumes all
responsibility for the protection of Subtenant, its agents, invitees and
property from acts of third parties.

This SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of April 23, 1999 (as amended, modified,
extended, supplemented, restated and/or replaced from time to time, this
"Security Agreement"), is made between FIRST SECURITY BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, not individually, but solely as

Agreement and of the rights and powers granted by this Security Agreement.

continuing:
(i) the Agent, in addition to all other remedies available at
law or in equity, shall have the right forthwith to enter upon any
Property (or any other place where any component of any Property is
located at such time) without charge, and take possession of all or
any portion of the Trust Property, and to re-let the Trust property

to apply said rentals and profits, after payment of all necessary or

(subject to the Excepted Payments); and
(ii) the Agent, shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to the
appointment of a receiver for the Trust Property, and the Borrower
hereby consents to such appointment and waives notice of any
application therefor.
(b) If a Credit Agreement Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Agent may proceed by an action at law, suit in equity or
other appropriate proceeding, to protect and enforce its rights, whether
for the foreclosure of the Lien of this Security Agreement, or for the

The Agent shall be entitled to enforce payment of the indebtedness and
performance of the Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers under this
Security Agreement or under any of the other Operative Agreements or other
agreements or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all
of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by deed
of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge, Lien, assignment or otherwise.
Neither the acceptance of this Security Agreement nor its enforcement, shall
prejudice or in any manner affect the Agent's right to realize upon or enforce
any other security now or hereafter held by the Agent, it being agreed that the
Agent shall be entitled to enforce this Security
6
<PAGE> 9
Agreement and any other security now or hereafter held by the Agent in such
order and manner as the Agent may determine in its absolute discretion. No
remedy conferred hereunder or under any other Operative Agreement upon or
reserved to the Agent is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or
therein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall
be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or thereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy
given by any of the Operative Agreements to the Agent or to which it may
otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Agent. In no event
shall the Agent, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Security
Agreement (including without limitation in connection with the assignment of
Rents to the Agent, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such
receiver onto all or any part of the Land), be deemed a "mortgagee in

made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with
the exercise of such remedies.

undertaken as provided in this Section 7, together with interest thereon at a
rate per annum equal to the Overdue Rate, from the date of payment by the Agent
to the date reimbursed by the Borrower, shall be payable by the Borrower (with
funds provided by the Lessee for such purpose) to the Agent on demand and

preservation of any Trust Property in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the
Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same
manner as the Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the
Agent, any Lender, any Holder nor any of their respective directors, officers,
employees, shareholders, partners or agents shall be liable for failure to
demand, collect or realize upon any of the Trust Property or for any delay in
doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Trust Property upon the request of the Borrower or any other Person or to take
any other action whatsoever with regard to the Trust Property or any part

Agreement as it relates to matters of the grant, perfection and priority of
security interests the subject hereof, shall constitute a security
agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the States
in which the Trust Property is located. If a Credit Agreement Event of
Default shall occur, then in addition to having any other right or remedy
available at law or in equity, the Agent may proceed under the applicable
Uniform Commercial Code and exercise such rights and remedies as may be
provided to a secured party by such Uniform Commercial Code with respect to
all or any portion of the Trust Property which is personal property
(including without limitation taking possession of and selling such
property). If the Agent shall elect to proceed under the Uniform Commercial
Code, then fifteen (15) days' notice of sale of the personal property shall
be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking,
holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by the Agent
shall include, but not be limited to, attorneys' fees and legal expenses.
At the Agent's request, the Borrower shall assemble such personal property
and make it available to the Agent at a place designated by the Agent which
is reasonably convenient to both parties.

execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Agent one (1) or more separate
security agreements, in form satisfactory to the Agent, covering all or any

deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, any financing
statement, affidavit, continuation statement or certificate or other
document as the Agent may request in order to perfect, preserve, maintain,
continue or extend the security interest under, and the priority of the
Liens granted by, this Security Agreement and such security instrument. The
Borrower further agrees to pay to the Agent (with funds provided by the
Lessee for such purpose) on demand all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution,
recording, filing and re-filing of any such document and all reasonable
costs and expenses
8
<PAGE> 11
of any record searches for financing statements the Agent shall reasonably
require. The filing of any financing or continuation statements in the
records relating to personal property or chattels shall not be construed
as in any way impairing the right of the Agent to proceed against any
property encumbered by this Security Agreement.
12. AUTHORITY OF THE AGENT.
The Borrower acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Agent
under this Security Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Agent or
the exercise or non-exercise by the Agent of any option, voting right, request,
judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising
out of this Security Agreement shall be governed by the Credit Agreement and
Section 8.6 of the Participation Agreement and by such other agreements with
respect thereto as may exist from time to time (until such time as all amounts
due and owing to the Secured Parties and the Agent under the Operative
Agreements have been paid in full), but the Agent shall be conclusively
presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid
authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Borrower shall be under no
obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
13. NOTICES.
All notices required or permitted to be given under this Security
Agreement shall be in writing and delivered as provided in Section 12.2 of the
Participation Agreement.
14. SEVERABILITY.
Any provision of this Security Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.
15. AMENDMENT IN WRITING; NO WAIVERS; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.
(a) None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may
be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in
accordance with the terms of Section 12.4 of the Participation Agreement.
(b) No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part
of the Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the
Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one (1) occasion shall not
be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent would
otherwise have an any future occasion.
9
<PAGE> 12
(c) The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be
exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights
or remedies provided by law.

of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into
consideration in the interpretation hereof.
17. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

Borrower, and the Borrower shall not assign any of its rights or obligations
hereunder or with respect to any of the Trust Property without the prior written
consent of the Agent. This Security Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the
Agent, the Lenders, the Holders and their respective successors and assigns, in
accordance with their respective interest herein.
18. THE BORROWER'S WAIVER OF RIGHTS.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the Borrower waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that may
subsequently be enacted providing for (a) any appraisement before sale of any
portion of the Trust Property, (b) any extension of the time for the
enforcement of the collection of the indebtedness or the creation or extension
of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt and (c)
exemption of any portion of the Trust Property from attachment, levy or sale
under execution or exemption from civil process. Except as otherwise set forth
herein, to the fullest extent the Borrower may do so, the Borrower agrees that
the Borrower will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit
or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any
appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or redemption, or requiring
foreclosure of this Security Agreement before exercising any other remedy
granted hereunder and the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and for any
and all Persons ever claiming any interest in the Trust Property, to the extent
permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption,
valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or
declare due the whole of the Obligations and marshalling in the event of
foreclosure of the Liens hereby created.
19. GOVERNING LAW.

21. PARTIAL RELEASE; FULL RELEASE.
The Agent may release for such consideration as it may require any portion
of the Trust Property without (as to the remainder of the Trust Property) in
any way impairing or affecting the Lien, security interest and priority herein
provided for the Agent compared to any other Lien holder or secured party.
Further, the Agent shall execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents
and instruments as may be required to release the Lien and security interest
created by this Security Agreement with respect to the Properties as provided
in Section 8.8 of the Participation Agreement or to grant the easements and
permit the other matters provided for in Section 8.5 of the Participation
Agreement.

(a) This Security Agreement is one (1) of the documents which create
Liens and security interests that secure payment and performance of the
Obligations. The Agent, at its election, may commence or consolidate in a
single action all proceedings to realize upon all such Liens and security
interests. The Borrower hereby waives (i) any objections to the
commencement or continuation of an action to foreclose the Lien of this
Security Agreement or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on any
action being prosecuted or any judgment entered with respect to the
Obligations or any Liens or security interests that secure payment and
performance of the Obligations and (ii) any objections to the commencement
of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in any such other action based
on any action or judgment connected to this Security Agreement. In case of
a foreclosure sale, the Trust Property may be sold, at the Agent's
election, in one (1) parcel or in more than one (1) parcel and the Agent is
specifically empowered (without being required to do so, and in its sole
and absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of portions of the Trust
Property to be held.

extensions and indulgences in relation to the Obligations secured hereby
without in any manner affecting the priority of the Lien hereof on any part
of the Trust Property.

escrow account with Escrow Agent a deposit in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the "First Deposit"). The First Deposit is
currently being held in an interest bearing account (with interest accruing for
the benefit of Purchaser). Such First Deposit shall be fully refundable to
Purchaser until the conditions set forth in Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b) below
are satisfied or deemed satisfied by Purchaser. Upon the conditions set forth
in Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b) being satisfied or deemed satisfied by Purchaser,
the First Deposit shall become non-refundable to Purchaser (except in the event
of a material breach or default by Seller under this Agreement, Seller's breach
of its obligation to execute and deliver the Sublease referred to in Section
2.5 below or a failure of any of the other Closing conditions set forth in
Section 3.1). In the event Purchaser materially breaches any of its obligations
under this Agreement (for any reason other than a material breach or default by
Seller) prior to the Closing hereunder (but after the conditions set forth in
Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b) have been satisfied or deemed satisfied or have been
waived by Purchaser), Seller shall be entitled to the First Deposit and the
Second Deposit referred to below, together with all interest accrued thereon
while in escrow, as liquidated damages. The First Deposit, together with all
interest accrued thereon while in escrow, shall be credited against the
Purchase Price for the Property as of the close of escrow hereunder.
(b) Not later than three (3) business days following the
satisfaction or deemed satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section
3.1(a) and 3.1(b) below (or Purchaser's waiver of such conditions) and full
execution of this Agreement and delivery of a fully-executed copy of this
Agreement into Escrow, but in no event later than 4:00 p.m., PST, on March 26,
1999, Purchaser shall deposit into escrow with Escrow Agent, in an interest
bearing account (with interest to accrue to the Purchaser), an additional Seven
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) (the "Second Deposit"). The Second
Deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon while in escrow, shall be
non-refundable to Purchaser upon deposit of the same into escrow with Escrow
Agent as provided in the immediately preceding sentence (except in the event of
a material breach or default by Seller under this Agreement or any other
failure to close escrow not arising from the Purchaser's material breach or
default under this Agreement). In the event Purchaser materially breaches any
of its obligations under this Agreement (for any reason other than a breach or
default by Seller hereunder) prior to the Closing hereunder (but after
satisfaction or deemed satisfaction (or Purchaser's waiver) of the conditions
set forth in Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b) below), then Seller shall be entitled
to the Second Deposit referred to above (and the First Deposit), together with
all interest accrued thereon while in escrow, as liquidated damages. The Second
Deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon while in escrow, shall be
credited against the Purchase Price for the Property as of the close of escrow
hereunder.
The First Deposit and the Second Deposit (together with the interest
accrued thereon while in escrow) is collectively referred to herein as the

Sections 1.3 and 1.4 of this Agreement.
1.4 Remedies.
(a) PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE THAT SELLER'S ECONOMIC DETRIMENT
RESULTING FROM THE REMOVAL OF THE PROPERTY FROM THE REAL ESTATE MARKET FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AND ANY CARRYING AND OTHER COSTS INCURRED AFTER THE
REMOVAL OF THE PROPERTY FROM THE REAL ESTATE MARKET ARE IMPRACTICABLE OR
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN. PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF
THE EARNEST MONEY IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT WILL BE INCURRED
BY SELLER IN THE EVENT ESCROW FAILS TO CLOSE ON THE PROPERTY AS A RESULT OF A
BREACH OR DEFAULT OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER. PURCHASER AGREES THAT IN THE
EVENT OF A BREACH OR DEFAULT BY PURCHASER FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN A BREACH OR
DEFAULT BY SELLER, SELLER'S SOLE REMEDY FOR PURCHASER'S FAILURE TO PURCHASE THE
PROPERTY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER REMEDIES SELLER MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE HEREUNDER OR
BY APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, AN ACTION FOR SPECIFIC
PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECEIVE
THE EARNEST MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT AS A PENALTY. PURCHASER AND
SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE LIMITATION ON DAMAGES SET FORTH IN THIS
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION SHALL NOT BE APPLICABLE TO ANY BREACH BY PURCHASER
OF ANY INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION OF PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR A BREACH
BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTIONS 6.3(i) AND 6.3(j) BELOW. BY
INITIALING THIS SECTION 1.4(a) BELOW, PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE TO THE TERMS OF
THIS SECTION 1.4(a).

---------- ----------------
(b) If escrow fails to close under this Agreement as a result of
Seller's default, then, without prejudice to Purchaser's remedies against Seller
arising from a willful or knowing breach by Seller of any of its obligations
under Section 2.2 or Article 5 of this Agreement or any of Seller's
representations or warranties hereunder, Purchaser shall either (i) bring an
action for specific performance to enforce this Agreement, or (ii) terminate
this Agreement, and in the event of such termination, Seller shall promptly
cause the Earnest Money to be returned to Purchaser and shall reimburse
Purchaser for the cost of the Survey (provided Purchaser provides Seller with a
copy of the Survey).
(c) If this Agreement is terminated due to the default of a party,
then the defaulting party shall pay any fees due to the Escrow Agent for holding
the Earnest Money and
-5-

any fees due to the Title Company for cancellation of the escrow and/or the
Title Commitment referred to below.
ARTICLE 2
TITLE REVIEW
2.1 Delivery of Title Commitment and Survey. Not later than the close of
escrow on the Property, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared: (i) a current,
effective commitment for title insurance (the "Title Commitment") issued by the
Title Company, in the amount of the Purchase Price with Purchaser as the
proposed insured, and accompanied by true, complete, and legible copies of all
documents referred to in the Title Commitment; and (ii) a current ALTA-ACSM
Urban survey of the Property (the "Survey"). The Survey shall determine the
total acreage included with the Land and the total acreage included within the
Excluded Area (as defined in the Sublease referred to in Section 2.5 below).
2.2 Title Review and Approval. Purchaser acknowledges that it has
received and reviewed a preliminary title report (Second Amended) dated as of
March 10, 1999, prepared by Chicago Title Company, Order No. 804852
("Preliminary Title Report") showing the state of the title of the Property.
Purchaser accepts and approves of title exception numbers 1-15 as shown on the
Preliminary Title Report. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Permitted
Exceptions" shall mean (i) those title exceptions applicable to the Property
which are accepted by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Section
2.2, (ii) the Sublease, and (iii) all title matters to the extent arising from
the acts of Purchaser or its agents, employees or representatives.
Seller shall have no obligation to cure or cause to be removed any title
objections except any deed of trust or mortgage entered into by Seller
encumbering the Property and any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are
created or caused voluntarily by Seller after the date of this Agreement, which
liens, exceptions or encumbrances Seller shall cause to be released or
effectively insured over at the Closing. If Seller fails or refuses to remove
or cure any title matter that Seller expressly agrees to remove or cure, then
Seller shall be in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement.
2.3 Title Policy. A condition to Purchaser's obligation to close shall be
that as of the Closing, (i) title to the Property shall be insurable under an
ALTA Form B (or other form required by state law) Owner's Policy of Title
Insurance ("Title Policy") issued by the Title Company, dated the date and time
of the recording of the Deed in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring
Purchaser as owner of fee simple title to the Property, subject to the
Permitted Exceptions. If a current survey of the Property is required in order
for Title Company to issue the ALTA Title Policy to Purchaser and Purchaser has
not obtained such ALTA survey by the scheduled Closing date, then the condition
set forth herein shall be satisfied if Title Company is prepared to issue to
Purchaser at Closing a CLTA Standard Form Owner's Policy of Title Insurance
dated the date and time of the recording of the Deed in the amount of the
Purchase Price, insuring Purchaser as owner of fee simple title to the
Property, subject to the Permitted Exceptions. In connection with Purchaser's
contemplated off-balance sheet financing of the acquisition of the Property,
the trustee with respect to such financing may desire to obtain an
-6-
<PAGE> 7
owner's policy of title insurance, at no cost to Seller, and/or the agent with
respect to such financing may elect to obtain a lender's policy of title
insurance, at no cost to Seller.
2.4 Title and Survey Costs. Subject to Section 1.4(b) above, the cost of
the Survey, including any necessary revisions, and the premium for any
endorsements requested by Purchaser, shall be paid by the Purchaser. The
premium for a CLTA Title Policy, excluding Purchaser's endorsements, shall be
paid by Seller, and the cost of any title insurance policy or endorsements
requested by Purchaser in excess of the premium of a CLTA Title Policy shall
be borne by Purchaser.
2.5 Sublease. Concurrent with the Closing hereunder, and as an additional
condition to Purchaser's obligation to close escrow, Seller and Purchaser shall
enter into a written lease agreement or, in the event the acquisition of the
Property is financed through a synthetic lease structure, Seller and Veritas
Software Corporation (or any wholly owned subsidiary of Veritas Software
Corporation) shall enter into a written sublease agreement (such lease or
sublease is referred to herein as the "Sublease") under which, as of the date
of Closing, Seller shall lease from Purchaser or sublease from Veritas Software
Corporation (or any wholly-owned subsidiary of Veritas Software Corporation)
the existing approximately 119,000 square foot building located on the Land and
Seller shall be granted the right to use the existing parking areas and other
related facilities and/or equipment to utilize the premises as needed for
Seller's business, located at 350 Ellis Street, Mountain View, California. The
term of the Sublease shall be for a minimum term of twelve (12) months and
shall expire, if not earlier terminated, no later than December 31, 2000.
Seller may elect in its sole discretion to terminate the Sublease early upon not
less than twelve (12) months notice to the landlord thereunder. Said Sublease
shall be in the form and content of Exhibit B attached hereto. Seller agrees
that such Sublease may be subordinated to the terms of a master lease or
off-balance sheet financing operating lease to be entered into by Purchaser, as
lessee, and a third party, as part of Purchaser's financing of the acquisition
of the Property, provided that Seller is granted non-disturbance rights (on
terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Seller and providing that a
termination of such master lease shall not cause a termination of Seller's
rights under the Sublease) and that such master lease shall not adversely
affect Seller's rights under the Sublease and/or increase Seller's obligations
under this Agreement or the Sublease. The Sublease shall not be subordinated to
any master lease or off-balance sheet financing operating lease as referred to
above (or any other financing secured by the Premises described in the Sublease)
unless Seller is granted such non-disturbance rights as provided above.

(a) Feasibility Period. Purchaser shall have until 4:00 p.m. PST, on
March 5, 1999 (the "Feasibility Period") (i) to conduct such studies or
investigations of the Property (including, without limitation, environmental
testing) or matters pertaining thereto as Purchaser may deem appropriate to
ascertain whether the Property is suited to Purchaser's intended purposes, and
(ii) to determine in Purchaser's sole discretion whether the development of the
Property is economically feasible, and to deliver to Seller its written notice
of approval or disapproval of the feasibility of the Property. If Purchaser does
not give Seller written notice of disapproval on or before the expiration of the
Feasibility Period, then the conditions set forth in this Section 3.1(a) shall
be deemed satisfied and Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the Property.
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the purchase and sale of the Property as
described herein, and the close of escrow hereunder, shall not be conditioned
upon Purchaser obtaining or achieving approval of a .50 FAR for the Property.
Purchaser hereby approves the feasibility of the Property and acknowledges
and agrees that the conditions set forth in this Section 3.1(a) are satisfied.
(b) Off Balance Sheet Financing. Not later than the expiration of the
Feasibility Period, Purchaser shall have satisfied itself, in its reasonable
discretion, that the acquisition of the Property under this Agreement can be
successfully achieved through off-balance sheet financing (or other financing
acceptable to Purchaser). If, prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period,
Purchaser does not give Seller written notice that the condition set forth in

Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that the condition set forth in
this Section 3.1(b) is satisfied. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees
that Purchaser obtaining off-balance sheet financing (or other financing

this Agreement.
Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, at de minimis cost to
Seller, in Purchaser's efforts to finance the acquisition and development of the
Property (including, without limitation, the demolition costs described in
Section 2.5 of this Agreement) with off-balance sheet financing (typically
known as synthetic lease financing), including cooperating with Purchaser in
assigning its rights under this Agreement for the purpose of such financing.
Upon the assignment by Purchaser of this Agreement to the ultimate buyer of the
Property (other than an Affiliate as set forth in Section 11.1(c) below) as
permitted by this Agreement, Veritas Software Corporation ("Veritas") shall (as
set forth in Section 11.1(d) of this Agreement) retain all obligations and
liabilities of Purchaser hereunder (including, without limitation, its
indemnification obligations under this Agreement).
(c) Title Policy. As of the Closing, Title Company shall be prepared and
willing to issue to Purchaser the Title Policy referred to in Section 2.3 above
in the amount of the Purchase Price. Purchaser may desire to obtain, at
Purchaser's sole cost, various endorsements to such Title Policy, including,
without limitation, (i) an endorsement to provide Purchaser with assurance that
the Property is the same as shown on a survey plat attached to or made part of
the Title Policy, (ii) an endorsement to provide Purchaser with assurance that
the Property is situated
-8-

within a designated zone classification and to confirm that Purchaser's
proposed use or uses of the Property as office/light industrial/research and
development are allowed under such classification, (iii) an endorsement to
provide Purchaser with assurance that the policy limits will be increased, upon
payment of an additional premium, to reflect the value of any improvements
constructed by Purchaser on the Property, (iv) an endorsement to provide
Purchaser with assurances that there are no mechanic's liens on the Property,
and (v) an endorsement assuring Purchaser that there are no enforceable
violations of covenants, conditions or restrictions against the Property;
provided, however, the issuance of such endorsements shall not be a condition
to Purchaser's obligation to close escrow hereunder. To the extent Title
Company requires an indemnity from Seller in order to issue any mechanic's lien
endorsement to Purchaser at Closing, Seller agrees to so indemnify the Title
Company against damage or loss that may arise from the filing of any mechanic's
lien claims in connection with work performed on the Property prior to the
Close of Escrow by Seller or any of its agents, employees or contractors.
(d) Performance by Seller. Seller shall have performed, observed and
complied in all material respects with all of the covenants and agreements

Agreement and ending on the date escrow closes hereunder, no action or
proceeding shall have been commenced by or against Seller under the federal
bankruptcy code or any state law for the relief of debtors or for the
enforcement of the rights of creditors and no attachment, execution, or levy
shall have attached to or been issued with respect to the Property or any
portion thereof.

Agreement through the Close of Escrow, no moratorium, statute, regulation,
ordinance or federal, state, county or local legislation, or order, judgment,
ruling or decree of any governmental agency or of any court having jurisdiction
over the Property shall have been enacted, adopted, passed, issued, or entered
into which would preclude Purchaser from developing the Property as a corporate
headquarters facility at an FAR of less than .35.

conditions in Sections 3.1(a) or 3.1(b) is not satisfied or deemed satisfied
(or waived in writing by Purchaser) at or prior to the time prescribed herein,
then this Agreement shall terminate and the First Deposit, together with all
interest accrued thereon while held in escrow, shall be promptly refunded by
Escrow Agent to Purchaser and all rights, obligations and liabilities of Seller

condition to Purchaser's obligation to close escrow expressly set forth in this
Agreement is not satisfied or deemed satisfied (or waived in writing by

damages and all rights, obligations and liabilities of Seller and Purchaser

consultants and other representatives shall be granted a right of entry on the
Property to perform, at Purchaser's sole cost, such soil, groundwater,

Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any and all liens,
losses, claims, demands, causes of action, damages, liabilities, costs or
expenses arising out of or connected with Purchaser's and/or any of its
agents', employees', consultants', or other representatives' activities on the
Property; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no liability to Seller

expense arising as a result of (a) Purchaser merely discovering any Hazardous
Materials (as defined below) on or about the Property in connection with its
investigation of the Property; or (b) the acts of Seller or Seller's employees,
agents, contractors or invitees (other than Purchaser and its agents,

liability for the repair of any damage caused by Seller's negligence or willful
misconduct or for the remediation, containment, abatement or control of any
hazardous material (or any defect) that existed in the Property prior to
Purchaser's entry thereon. As used in this Agreement, the term "Hazardous
Materials" shall mean any chemical, substance, waste or material which has been
or is hereafter determined by any federal, state or local governmental
authority to be capable of posing risk of injury to health or safety,
including, without limitation, those substances included within the definitions
of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, toxic substances or solid wastes

Section 25316 of the California Health & Safety Code, as amended, and in the
regulations promulgated pursuant to said laws; those substances listed in the
United States Department of Transportation Table (49 CFR 172.101 and amendments

agency) as hazardous substances (see, e.g., 40 CFR Part 302 and amendments
thereto); such other substances, materials and wastes which are or become
regulated or become classified as hazardous or toxic under any Laws, including
without limitation, the California Health & Safety Code, Division 20, and Title
26 of the California Code of Regulations; and any material, waste, substance
which is (i) petroleum, (ii) asbestos, (iii) polychlorinated biphenyls, (iv)

During the Feasibility Period and at all reasonable times thereafter until
the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the
right to examine, during normal business hours (and upon at least 48 hours
prior notice to Seller), all of the books and financial records of Seller
related solely to the ownership, management and operation of the Property

<PAGE> 12
that Seller shall not be obligated to provide or make available to Purchaser
any appraisals or financial projections with respect to the Property, any prior
offers on the Property, or any other proprietary information or information
protected by the attorney-client privilege), and to interview any persons
involved in the management or operation of the Property. Seller shall act in
good faith, at de minimis expense to Seller, to try to make such persons
available to Purchaser for interviewing and to cooperate with Purchaser in such
interviews and investigations; provided, however, Purchaser acknowledges that
some former employees of Seller who previously were involved in the management
or operation of the Property are no longer employed by Seller and consequently
may be difficult to make such former employees available to Purchaser.

concurrently herewith), Seller delivered or made available to Purchaser, without

In addition to the documents referred to in this Section 4.2 above, Seller
agrees to make available to Purchaser for Purchaser's review at Seller's
offices during the Feasibility Period, all documents, reports and other
writings relating to the physical or legal condition of the Property known by
Dan Boxer, Executive Vice-President and General Counsel, to be in Seller's
possession; provided, however, Seller shall not be obligated to make available
to Seller any appraisals, financial projections, third party offers or letters
of intent applicable to the Property or any other proprietary documents or
confidential information or information protected by the attorney-client
privilege.
All of the documents, reports, and information furnished or made available
by Seller to Purchaser shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed to
any third party; except that Purchaser may disclose such material to its
attorneys, accountants, consultants who have a need to know such information in
order to evaluate the Property and to provide recommendations to Purchaser as
to whether it should purchase the same and to prospective lenders, and
assignees of Purchaser's interest in this Agreement for the purpose of
off-balance sheet financing or any other financing of the acquisition of the
Property. Purchaser may also disclose any documents, reports or other
information furnished by Seller to Purchaser related to the Property to
governmental agencies (including, without limitation, the Environmental
Protection Agency) as part of Purchaser's investigations of the Property. Such
confidentiality obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement but
shall not survive the Closing.
In the event Purchaser does not close escrow under this Agreement, then
Purchaser shall deliver or assign to Seller, within ten (10) days following the
date this Agreement terminates, all of the documents, reports, studies,
correspondence and other materials delivered by Seller to Purchaser as referred
to above, and, provided that such failure to close escrow does not arise from
the material breach or default by Seller under this Agreement, Purchaser shall
also deliver and assign to Seller any and all environmental reports, soils and
geologic studies, due diligence reports and other third party reports or
studies delivered to or prepared by Purchaser (or received by Purchaser)
related to the Property. The obligations of Purchaser under this paragraph
shall survive termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 5
OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS
5.1 Performance Under Contracts. During the executory period of this
Agreement, Seller will perform its material obligations under agreements with
third parties that materially affect the Property, and shall keep in effect all
liability insurance coverage, promptly comply with all liability insurance
requirements and operate the Property substantially in the manner in which it
has been operated by Seller prior to the execution of this Agreement.
5.2 New Contract. During the executory period of this Agreement, without
Purchaser's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), Seller will not enter into, extend, renew or amend in any
material respect, terminate (unless the party with whom Seller is in contract
is in default or breach of its obligations under such contract), or waive any
default under, any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property
following the close of escrow; provided, however, the foregoing shall not
preclude or
-13-
<PAGE> 14
prevent Seller from entering into any contract that does not encumber the
Property but that is related solely to the operation of Seller's business
conducted on the Property, nor shall the foregoing prevent Seller from renewing
or extending any contract applicable to the Excluded Area or the Improvements
thereon which is related solely to the operation of Seller's business conducted
on the Property and which will not survive the termination of expiration of the
Sublease.
5.3 Listings and Other Offers. During the executory period of this
Agreement, Seller will not make or accept any offers to sell the Property, or
enter into any contracts or agreements (whether binding or not) to sell the
Property or otherwise negotiate any back up offers with any prospective
purchaser of the Property.
5.4 Taxes and Legal Requirements. Seller shall pay before delinquency
all taxes and assessments and all other impositions of any kind or nature
whatsoever, levied, imposed or assessed, and all other expenses and obligations
at any time incurred by Seller, in connection with the ownership, occupancy,
use or operation of the Property, and Seller shall promptly comply, or cause to
be complied, with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and
regulations, including, without limitation, the United States Environmental
Protection Agency Record of Decision for the Raytheon facility (the "Record of
Decision"), of any governmental or quasi-governmental agency having
jurisdiction over the Property or the use of all or a part thereof to the
extent relating to Seller's ownership, occupation, use or operation of the
Property. The preceding to the contrary notwithstanding, Seller's obligation
with respect to complying with environmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules,
regulations and Record of Decision shall be governed solely by Seller's
Environmental Indemnity attached hereto as Exhibit C. The obligations of this
Section 5.4 shall survive the Closing.
5.5 Damage. In the event of any substantial and material damage to the
Improvements on the Property occurring before the Closing, Seller shall elect
to either (i) assume in writing the responsibility to restore such damage and
continue to occupy the Improvements (or, alternatively, remove such damaged
Improvements and continue to occupy the balance of the Improvements) following
the closing hereunder without abatement or offset of rent under the Sublease,
or (ii) not execute the Sublease as of the closing, and following the Close of
Escrow use commercially reasonable efforts to perform or cause to be performed,
at Lessor's cost (except for the cost of removal of any asbestos or other
Hazardous Materials from the Improvements) if Veritas enters into an assignment
with respect to this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(2) below (and the
funding requirements set forth in the agreements executed by Veritas, Lessor
(as defined in Section 11.1(a) below) and the Financing Parties (as defined in
Section 11.1(b) below) in connection with the synthetic lease financing
discussed in Section 3.1(b) above (collectively, the "Financing Documents")
have been satisfied), or otherwise at Purchaser's cost, the planned removal of
the Improvements (including the damaged Improvements) in an expeditious manner.
If Seller elects not to execute the Sublease as provided in clause (ii) above,
then, in addition to removing the Improvements on the Property, Seller shall be
obligated, to remove, not later than January 1, 2001, the asbestos and any
other Hazardous Materials, if any, in the Improvements and to remove or
remediate any contaminated soil under the approximately 119,000 square foot
building located on the Excluded Area in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 32 of the
-14-
<PAGE> 15
Sublease (which such paragraph 32 is incorporated herein by reference) and
either (x) to levels at or below the cleanup level or standards established by
the Record of Decision, or (y) to levels acceptable to the environmental agency
or agencies having jurisdiction over such cleanup or remediation (such levels
described in clauses (x) or (y) above being referred to hereinafter as the
"Soil Remediation Standard"). If Seller elects not to execute the Sublease as
provided in clause (ii) above, the provisions of subparagraphs 32(b), 32(c) and
32(d) shall apply to the removal of the Improvements from the Property, the
removal of removal or other Hazardous Materials from the Improvements and the
removal or remediation of any contaminated soil under the approximately 119,000
square foot building located on the Excluded Area in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph 32 of the Sublease and to levels that meet the Soil
Remediation Standard. Purchaser or, if Veritas enters into an assignment with
respect to this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(2) below and the funding
requirements set forth in the Financing Documents have been satisfied, Lessor
shall reimburse Seller for the cost of removing such Improvements within ten
(10) days following receipt of a written notice, invoice or statement setting
forth the costs to be reimbursed. If the casualty shall damage any portion of
the Property other than the building Improvements and related structures such
that the effect of such damage results in greater than 10% decrease in the
value of the Property (as reasonably determined by Purchaser), then Purchaser
shall have the option to terminate this Agreement prior to Closing, in which
event the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser.
5.6 Condemnation. Seller, upon actually becoming aware of same, shall
promptly notify Purchaser in writing of any condemnation proceeding affecting
the Property commenced prior to the close of escrow or upon receipt of any
written notice of a potential condemnation. If, by reason of any such
proceeding, the value of the Property, in Purchaser's reasonable judgment, is
impaired or reduced, Purchaser may, at its option, elect either to (i)
terminate this Agreement (provided Purchaser shall not be permitted to
terminate this Agreement if the reduction in value is estimated by Purchaser in
good faith to be less than $3,000,000), or (ii) continue the Agreement in
effect without any reduction in the Purchase Price, in which event, upon the
close of escrow, Seller shall assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be
entitled to receive, any compensation, awards, or other payments or relief
resulting from such condemnation proceeding and relating to the Property.
ARTICLE 6
CLOSING
6.1 Closing. The close of escrow under this Agreement shall occur,
subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement (or
waiver by the party for whose benefit such conditions exist), upon not less
than five (5) days' prior notice from Purchaser to Seller, but in no event
shall escrow close hereunder later than April 15, 1999 (the "Closing Date");
provided, however, if all conditions to closing have been satisfied but
Purchaser's synthetic lease financing is not ready to close due to the lender
thereunder completing its financing documents, then Seller and Purchaser agree
that the April 15, 1999 date referred to above shall be extended to April 19,
1999. Time is of the essence. The consummation of the transaction contemplated
herein ("Closing") shall occur on the Closing Date at the offices of the Escrow
Agent. Closing shall occur through an escrow with the Escrow Agent. Funds shall
be
-15-
<PAGE> 16
deposited into and held by Escrow Agent in a closing escrow account with a bank
satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller. Upon satisfaction or completion of all
Closing conditions and deliveries, the parties shall direct the Escrow Agent to
immediately record and deliver the closing documents to the appropriate parties
and make disbursements according to the closing statements executed by Seller
and Purchaser. The Escrow Agent shall agree in writing with Seller and
Purchaser that (1) recordation of the Deed constitutes its representation that
it is holding the closing documents, closing funds and closing statement and is
prepared and irrevocably committed to disburse the closing funds in accordance
with the closing statements and (2) release of funds to the Seller shall
irrevocably commit it to issue the Title Policy in accordance with this
Agreement. Provided such supplemental escrow instructions are not in conflict
with this Agreement as it may be amended in writing from time to time, Seller
and Purchaser agree to execute such supplemental escrow instructions as may be
appropriate to enable Escrow Agent to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
6.2 Conditions to the Parties' Obligations to Close. In addition to all
other conditions set forth herein, the obligation of Seller, on the one hand,
and Purchaser, on the other hand, to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereunder shall be contingent upon the following:
(a) The other party's representations and warranties contained
herein shall be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and the
Closing Date;
(b) As of the Closing Date, the other party shall have performed its
obligations hereunder and all deliveries to be made at Closing have been
tendered;
(c) There shall exist no actions, suits, arbitrations, claims,
attachments, proceedings, assignments for the benefit of creditors, insolvency,
bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceedings, pending or threatened against
the other party or the Property that would materially and adversely affect the
operation or value of the Property or the other party's ability to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or which seeks to restrain or prohibit, or to
obtain damages or a discovery order with respect to, this Agreement or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby;
(d) Any other condition set forth in this Agreement to such party's
obligation to close is not satisfied by the applicable date;
(e) As a condition to Purchaser's obligation to close, there shall
be no notice issued of any material violation or alleged violation of any law,
rule, regulation or code including, without limitation, the Record of Decision,
which would affect Purchaser (other than possibly with respect to the existing
environmental condition of the Property known or disclosed to Purchaser), which
has not been corrected to the satisfaction of the issuer of the notice and no
material, adverse change in the condition of or affecting the Property shall
have occurred or been discovered since the expiration of the Feasibility Period,
(f) As a condition to Purchaser's obligation to close, at Closing
Seller shall not be in default under any agreement to be assigned to, or
obligation to be assumed by, Purchaser under this Agreement.
-16-
<PAGE> 17
So long as a party is not in default hereunder, if any condition referred
to in this Section 6.2 to such party's obligation to proceed with the Closing
hereunder has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or other applicable
date, such party may, in its sole discretion, either (i) terminate this
Agreement by delivering written notice to the other party on or before the
Closing Date or other applicable date, (ii) extend the time available for the
satisfaction of such condition by up to a total of ten (10) business days or
(iii) elect to close, notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such condition,
in which event such party shall be deemed to have waived any such condition
except for breach by a party of a covenant in which case the Closing shall not
relieve such breaching party from any liability it would otherwise have
hereunder. If such party elects to proceed pursuant to clause (ii) above, and
such condition remains unsatisfied after the end of such extension period,
then, at such time, such party may elect to proceed pursuant to either clause
(i) or (iii) above.
6.3 Seller's Deliveries in Escrow. At least three (3) business days prior
to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver into escrow to the Escrow Agent the
following:
(a) Deed. A grant deed in the standard form of Title Company,
conveying to Purchaser fee simple title to the Property, subject only to the
Permitted Exceptions and the Sublease (the "Deed").
(b) Assignment of Permits, Contracts and Utility Rights. Such
assignments and other documents and certificates as Purchaser may reasonably
require in order to fully and completely transfer and assign to Purchaser all
of Seller's right, title, and interest, in and to the permits, rights under
utility agreements (including any deposits pursuant thereto) and similar rights
applicable to the Property (excepting therefrom permits and rights which are
necessary or reasonably required in connection with the operation of Seller's
business which is contemplated to continue on a portion of the Property
following the Closing).
(c) Environmental Indemnity. The environmental indemnity agreement
in the form of Exhibit C, executed and acknowledged by Seller ("Environmental
Indemnity"). Such Environmental Indemnity shall be recorded at the close of
escrow following the Grant Deed.

correct as set forth herein as of the closing date.
(e) FIRPTA and Form 590RE. A Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax
Act affidavit and California Withholding Certificate Form 590RE executed by
Seller. If Seller fails to provide the necessary affidavit and/or documentation
of exemption on the Closing Date, Purchaser may proceed with the Closing and
withhold from the Purchase Price such sums as are required to be withheld in
accordance with the withholding provisions of Section 1445 of the Internal
Revenue Code and the laws of the State of California.
(f) Authority. Evidence of existence, organization, and authority of
Seller and the authority of the person executing documents on behalf of Seller
reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, the Escrow Agent and the Title Company.
-17-
<PAGE> 18
hereunder, Seller and Purchaser shall each execute escrow instructions and
deliver the same to Escrow Holder instructing Escrow Holder to hold and
disburse the Holdback Funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.3(i)
above. The rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Section
6.3(i) shall survive the Closing.
(j) At Closing, Seller shall also deposit into a separate, interest
bearing escrow account with Escrow Holder the sum of Three Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000) (the "FAR Funds"). The FAR Funds equal the agreed
upon difference in value of the Property based on whether the Property has a
.50 FAR (floor area ratio) or a .45 FAR. As of the date of execution of this
Agreement, the Property has a .35 FAR (and any increased FAR for the Property
above .35 is not a condition to closing). The Property is subject to having a
FAR above .35 should the City of Mountain View determine in its discretion that
the Property (or its use or occupancy) satisfies certain Transit Zone standards
for increased FAR and the City of Mountain View grants the Property a Transit
Oriented Development Permit ("TOD Permit"). Purchaser or, if Veritas enters
into an assignment with respect to this Agreement pursuant to Section
11.1(a)(2) below, Veritas, acting as the agent of Lessor under the Financing
Documents, hereby agrees to exercise diligent and commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the City of Mountain View to approve a .50 FAR for the
Property. Purchaser's obligation under the immediately preceding sentence shall
survive the Closing and shall expire upon the earlier of (x) the date Purchaser
obtains final approval of a .50 FAR for the Property, (y) the date the City of
Mountain View makes a final decision not to approve a .50 FAR for the Property,
or (z) February 18, 2000.
Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, at de minimus cost
to Seller, in Seller's efforts to achieve a .50 FAR for the Property. Such
cooperation shall include, without limitation, signing, as owner of the
Property, applications for entitlements prior to the Closing. Seller further
agrees not to actively and knowingly interfere with, or cause or encourage any
third party to interfere with Purchaser's efforts to obtain transit rezoning, a
TOD Permit, any other entitlement or any increase in the FAR for the Property
up to .50 FAR. Seller's and Purchaser's obligations under this paragraph shall
survive the Closing.
The parties hereto agree that if, on or before February 18, 2000, the City
of Mountain View finally approves a .50 FAR for the Property (and the appeal or
referendum period, if any, applicable to such decision expires without any
appeal, referendum or challenge having been made), then the parties shall
promptly instruct Escrow Holder to release the entire FAR Funds (and all
interest accrued thereon while in escrow) to Seller. If, on or before February
18, 2000, the City of Mountain View makes a final decision (and the appeal or
referendum period, if any, applicable to such decision expires without any
appeal, referendum or challenge having been made) that the FAR for the Property
will be .45 or less, then the parties shall promptly instruct Escrow Holder to
release the entire FAR Funds (and all interest accrued thereon while in escrow)
to Purchaser. If, on or before February 18, 2000, the City of Mountain View
makes a final decision (and the appeal or referendum period, if any, applicable
to such decision expires without any appeal, referendum or challenge having
been made) that the FAR for the Property will be greater than .45, then for
every one percent (.01) above 45% that is the ultimate FAR for the Property,
Seller shall receive Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000) (prorated for any
-19-
<PAGE> 19
portion of one percent), together with the interest accrued thereon while in
escrow, from the FAR Funds in escrow and Purchaser shall receive the balance of
the FAR Funds and all interest accrued on such balance in escrow (and the
parties shall promptly so instruct Escrow Holder to release the FAR Funds and
interest thereon accordingly). The above allocation rules set forth in this
paragraph shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Allocation Rules." If, on or
before February 18, 2000, the City of Mountain View has not made any final
decision with respect to adjusting the FAR for the Property, then the parties
shall promptly instruct Escrow Holder to release the entire FAR Funds (and all
interest accrued thereon while in escrow) to Seller. If, on or before February
18, 2000, the City of Mountain View has made a final decision with respect to
the FAR for the Property and an appeal or referendum is filed and that appeal or
referendum itself is finally resolved before February 18, 2000, then the FAR
Funds shall be distributed in accordance with the Allocation Rules set forth
earlier in this paragraph, except that the FAR used in implementing the
Allocation Rules shall be the FAR resulting from the final resolution of the
appeal or referendum. If on or before February 18, 2000, the City of Mountain
View has made a final decision with respect to FAR for the Property, and an
appeal or referendum is filed which is not finally resolved before February 18,
2000, the FAR Funds shall be distributed in accordance with the Allocation Rules
except that the FAR used in implementing the Allocation Rules shall be the FAR
decided by the City of Mountain View prior to the filing of the appeal or
referendum. If any appeal or referendum is filed by or on behalf of Seller
(objecting to the decision of the City on the FAR for the Property) to increase
the FAR for the Property, the FAR Funds shall be distributed in accordance with
the Allocation Rules based upon the decision of the City of Mountain View
regarding the FAR at the time such appeal or referendum is filed.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall not file
or bring, or cause to be filed or brought, an appeal or referendum of any final
decision of the City of Mountain View relating to FAR for the Property or any
other action relating to the Property entitlements without the consent of the
Purchaser, which consent may be granted, if at all, in Purchaser's sole and
absolute discretion. As an illustrative example of the foregoing, if prior to
February 18, 2000, the City of Mountain View makes a final decision to increase
the FAR for the Property to .465, then Seller shall be entitled to receive
$1,050,000 (plus interest accrued thereon while in escrow) from the FAR Funds
and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive $2,450,000 (plus interest accrued
thereon while in escrow). On or before the Closing hereunder, Seller and
Purchaser shall each execute joint escrow instructions and deliver the same to
Escrow Holder instructing Escrow Holder to hold and disburse the FAR Funds in
accordance with the terms of this Section 6.3(j) above. The rights and
obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Section 6.3(j) shall survive the
Closing. As used in this paragraph, the terms "final approval" or "final
decision" shall mean the final decision or approval by the City of Mountain View
prior to the filing of any administrative or judicial appeal or referendum.
If, during the term of the Sublease referred to in Section 2.5 above,
Seller receives any portion of the FAR Funds from escrow pursuant to the terms
of the paragraph above, then the triple net monthly rent payable by Seller, as
tenant, under the Sublease shall be adjusted, commencing as of the date Seller
receives such portion of the FAR Funds, to equal an amount that will yield
Purchaser, as landlord under the Sublease, an eight percent (8%) annual return
on the portion of the adjusted Purchase Price Paid by Seller (which adjusted
Purchase Price shall be equal to $32,200,000 plus the amount of the FAR Funds
received by Seller pursuant to the terms
-20-
<PAGE> 20
of the paragraph above) that is allocable to the Excluded Area and the
Improvements thereon. The portion of the adjusted Purchase Price that is
allocable to the Excluded Area and the Improvements thereon (as of the date
Seller receives any portion of the FAR Funds) shall be determined by
multiplying the sum of $32,200,000 plus the amount of the FAR Funds received by
Seller pursuant to the terms of the paragraph above by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the acreage included in the Excluded Area (which is
approximately 11.49 acres) and the denominator of which is the total acreage
included in the entire Property (which is approximately 19.61 acres).
6.4 Purchaser's Deliveries in Escrow. Except as specified below, at least
three business days prior to the Closing Date (except as otherwise provided),
Purchaser shall deliver into escrow to the Escrow Agent the following:
(a) Purchase Price. On the Closing Date, the Purchase Price, less
the Earnest Money that is applied to the Purchase Price, plus or minus
applicable prorations and Purchaser's withholding obligations pursuant to
Section 6.3(c) above, deposited by Purchaser with the Escrow Agent in
immediate, same-day federal funds wired for credit into the Escrow Agent's
escrow account. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall also deliver into Escrow
for release to Seller at Closing an amount equal to all utility deposits, if
any, related to the Property that Seller will be assigning to Purchaser at
Closing.
(b) Environmental Indemnity. The Environmental Indemnity, executed
and acknowledged by Purchaser.
(c) Additional Documents. Any additional documents that Seller, the
Escrow Agent or the Title Company may reasonably require for the proper
consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) Sublease. Subject to Section 5.5 above, an original counterpart
of the Sublease, executed by Purchaser, as landlord.
6.5 Possession. Seller shall deliver possession of the Property to
Purchaser at the Closing subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and the
Sublease.
ARTICLE 7
PRORATIONS
7.1 Proration of Taxes and Assessments. General real estate taxes and
assessments imposed by governmental authority ("Taxes") and any assessments by
private covenant constituting a lien or charge on the Property for the
then-current calendar year or other current tax period not yet due and payable
shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the close of the day
immediately preceding the Closing Date. If the Closing occurs prior to the
receipt by Seller of the tax bill for the calendar year or other applicable tax
period in which the Closing occurs, Purchaser and Seller shall prorate Taxes
for such calendar year or other applicable tax period based upon the most
recent ascertainable assessed values and tax rates prior to Closing. With
respect to supplemental taxes assessed against the Property under California
Revenue and
-21-
<PAGE> 21
Taxation Code Section 75 et seq., Seller shall be responsible for and pay
before delinquency all such taxes assessed against the Property applicable to
construction or transfers occurring before the Closing Date, and Purchaser
shall be responsible and pay for such taxes applicable to construction and
transfers occurring on and after the Closing Date. Any reconciliation of
estimated closing adjustments, or corrections of errors in the calculation of
closing adjustments, shall be made as soon as practicable after the Closing
and the provisions of this Section 7.1 shall survive the Closing.
7.2 Closing Costs. Seller shall bear the cost of a CLTA policy of title
insurance in the amount of the Purchase Price, and Purchaser or, if Veritas
enters into an assignment with respect to this Agreement pursuant to Section
11.1(a)(2) below, Lessor (as defined in Section 11.1(a) below) shall bear the
excess cost associated with an ALTA extended owner's policy of title insurance
and any endorsements requested by Purchaser. Purchaser shall also pay for any
title insurance policy or policies to be issued to its trustee or agent in
connection with any off-balance sheet financing secured by the Property. County
transfer taxes associated with the closing of the sale of the Property shall be
borne by Seller. City conveyance taxes or fees shall be split equally by Seller
and Purchaser. All other closing costs incurred in connection with the closing
of the transaction described in this Agreement (including, without limitation,
recording costs and escrow fees) shall be borne by Seller and Purchaser in
accordance with the custom in Santa Clara County. Seller and Purchaser shall
each bear their own legal and accounting fees incurred in connection with the
Closing of the subject transaction.
7.3 Commissions. Seller and Purchaser represent and warrant each to the
other that they have not dealt with any real estate broker, sales person or
finder in connection with this transaction other than Broker and EY Kenneth
Leventhal Real Estate Group ("EYKL"). At the close of escrow hereunder, and
only if escrow closes hereunder, Seller shall pay Broker a real estate sales
commission equal to Six Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($630,000) and pay to
EYKL a real estate sales commission equal to Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars
($700,000) (for total commissions in the amount of One Million Three Hundred
Thirty Thousand Dollars ($1,330,000). In addition, at such time as Seller
receives any portion of the FAR Funds from Escrow Holder pursuant to the terms
of Section 6.3(j), Seller agrees to pay to Broker a real estate sales commission
equal to two percent (2%) of the amount of such FAR Funds received by Seller.
Each party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against
any claim for broker's or finder's fees or commissions in connection with the
negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby based upon any statement, representation or agreement of
such party. This provision shall survive the Closing or any termination of this
Agreement.

ARTICLE 9
DISCLOSURES; "AS IS" SALE
9.1 Environmental Disclosures. Seller hereby discloses to Purchaser that
the following is true and correct to the actual knowledge of Seller:
(a) In 1984, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board
issued cleanup orders to Raytheon Company, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation
(not related to Seller), Intel Corporation, NEC Electronics, Inc. and Siltec
Corporation with respect to Hazardous Materials contamination existing in the
regional site known as the Middlefield-Ellis-Whisman (MEW) site (of which the
Property is a part). Three (3) Superfund sites exist within the MEW area. The
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") is currently overseeing cleanup
measures that are being conducted on the Property and neighboring properties.
The Property has been identified in EPA Orders as containing sources of
contamination including underground and aboveground storage tanks for chemical
products and wastes, pH neutralization systems and industrial wastewater
treatment systems. The Property is listed on the National Priorities List.
(b) In April 1985, the EPA issued a "Request for Information"
pursuant to Section 106(e) of CERCLA and took over as the lead agency at the
Property. Raytheon Company, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and Intel
Corporation entered an Administrative order on Consent with the EPA on August
15, 1985 to conduct Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Studies (RI/FS) at the
regional site referred to above. The RI/FS was finalized in 1988. The EPA
issued a Record of Decision (ROD) in May 1989. The ROD, which was later
modified in September 1990 and April 1996, established specific cleanup
concentrations for semiconductor-related contamination (TCE) and ten other
compounds, and required the implementation of site-specific source control
remediation measures and a regional groundwater remediation program. Raytheon
Company and Intel Corporation entered into a Consent Decree (CD) with the EPA
in May 1991 that was entered by the United States District Court, Northern
District of California on April 10, 1992.
(c) The CD referred to above provides that Raytheon Company will
perform groundwater and soil remediation for the sites it occupied and operated
within the MEW area. The facility specific work at the Property is now in the
operation and maintenance phase.
(d) In 1987, a soil-bentonite, subsurface, slurry wall was installed
by Raytheon Company around the perimeter of the Property enclosing the soil and
water bearing zones as part of the remedial measures. Groundwater is extracted
from the water bearing zones by Raytheon Company within the area enclosed by
the slurry wall maintaining an inward and upward groundwater flow gradient to
keep contaminated groundwater from flowing away from the Property.
(e) The groundwater extraction and treatment system was installed in
1987. Groundwater is extracted from several wells located both within the
Property boundaries and from adjacent property. The groundwater extraction
system is a long term remedial measure that Raytheon Company is required to
maintain. The groundwater extraction system, soil vapor
-26-
<PAGE> 26
extraction system referred to below and groundwater monitoring are ongoing at
the Property to remediate and monitor trichlorethylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane,
I, I-and trans-1,1-dichloroethylene contamination believed to have emanated
from former underground tanks,
(f) A soil vapor extraction system was installed by Raytheon in 1996
to remediate the contaminated soils in or under the Property. This system
covers a surface area of approximately four (4) acres and proceeds to a depth
of approximately 15 to 18 feet. The system is composed of eighty-eight (88)
shallow and deep soil vapor extraction wells and one soil vapor extraction
treatment system. Raytheon Corporation has petitioned and obtained approval
from the EPA for closure for part of the soil vapor remedial system.
(g) Although Seller is the current owner of the Property, the
treatment systems referred to above are maintained by Raytheon Company, a
Delaware corporation ("Raytheon Company"). Raytheon Semiconductor, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, as grantor ("Grantor"), and Raytheon Company, as grantee,
executed a Grant of Easements, Restriction and Indemnity Agreement dated
December 24, 1997, recorded in the Official Records of Santa Clara County on
December 30, 1997, as Document No.: 13994862 (the "Easements Agreement"). A
copy of such Easements Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit D and made a
part hereof. At Closing, Seller shall execute an assignment agreement, in form
reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller, pursuant to which Seller assigns
to Purchaser, on a non-exclusive basis (reserving unto Seller all of the rights
and benefits granted to Grantee under the Easements Agreement), the rights of
Grantee under the Easements Agreement. Under the terms of paragraph 4.b. of the
Easements Agreement, Raytheon Company agreed to indemnify, defend and hold the
aforementioned Grantor harmless from any damages, claims, losses, expenses,
costs, obligations and liabilities, including, without limitation, liabilities
for all reasonable attorneys', accountants' and expert fees and expenses
asserted against or incurred or suffered by such Grantor arising out of or
related to environmental conditions (i) which first occurred, existed or arose
prior to December 24, 1997, and (ii) which arose or resulted from the release
of hazardous substances in, on, under, from, or at the Grantor Property (as
defined in the Easements Agreement); except to the extent such are exacerbated
by activities or negligent omissions of Grantor or any third party (other than
Agents acting on behalf of Raytheon Company in the performance of Remedial
Measures (as defined in the Easements Agreement) on or after December 24, 1997.
Paragraph 5.a. of the Easements Agreement provides that the obligations of
Raytheon Company, as set forth in the Easements Agreement, including the
indemnities set forth in Paragraph 4 of the Easements Agreement, benefit and
run with the Grantor Property. In the event escrow closes hereunder, Purchaser
agrees not to take any action, or permit any affiliate, agent, employee,
contractor, successor, assign, tenant, lender or other authorized
representative of Purchaser to take any action, that would result in a breach
or default of the obligations of the Grantee thereunder. The provisions of the
immediately preceding sentence shall survive the Close of Escrow.
In the event escrow closes hereunder, Purchaser shall, upon prior written
notice, provide Raytheon Company, its consultants and contractors access to the
Property in accordance with the Easements Agreement and shall permit them to
install, operate and maintain remedial treatment systems and to conduct all
other remediation activities which Raytheon Company determines to be necessary
or appropriate in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the Easements
-27-
<PAGE> 27
Agreement (and/or those certain provisions attached hereto as Exhibit E (the
"Raytheon Acquisition Excerpts") which are excerpts from that certain agreement
pursuant to which Seller acquired Raytheon Semiconductor) or required by
applicable governmental agencies. Purchaser will cause any successor owners and
occupants of the Property to afford Raytheon Company the same rights to access
and to conduct remediation activities as provided under the Easements Agreement
and the Raytheon Acquisition Excerpts (which access shall only be to the extent
necessary to conduct the remediation of contamination existing on, in or under
the Property and shall terminate upon completion of such remediation), and
Purchaser agrees to record an appropriate acknowledgement of such rights in the
Registry of Deeds or Official Records of Santa Clara County upon Raytheon
Company's or Seller's request. The obligations of Purchaser and Seller under
this paragraph shall survive the close of escrow hereunder.
In the event escrow closes hereunder, Seller shall reasonably cooperate
with Purchaser to engineer and relocate, upon Purchaser's reasonable request,
and at Seller's cost, any existing soil or water remediation well sites and
equipment (including, without limitation, hydrogen and other tanks and all
associated piping including the Air Products pipeline located on the Developable
Property (as defined in Section 2(b) of the Sublease) that may encumber
Purchaser's ability to develop the Property. The obligations of Seller under
this paragraph shall survive the close of escrow hereunder.
9.2 As Is Sale. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has been given
or will be given before the end of the Feasibility Period, a full opportunity to
inspect and investigate each and every aspect of the Property, either
independently or through agents of Purchaser's choosing, including, without
limitation:
(i) All matters relating to title, together with all governmental and
other legal requirements such as taxes, assessments, zoning, use permit
requirements and building codes.
(ii) The physical condition of the Property, including, without
limitation, the interior, the exterior, the structure, the paving, the
utilities, and all other physical and functional aspects of the Property. In the
event Purchaser enters onto the Property to perform any test, inspection or
investigation of the Property, Purchaser shall do so in a manner that causes the
least interference possible to Seller's business operations on the Property.
Purchaser agrees not to undertake any invasive testing or investigation of the
Property unless and until Seller has approved (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld) the scope of such invasive testing or investigation and the contractor
or consultant to undertake performance of the same. Seller shall receive copies
of all reports issued, and shall be entitled to the return, if available, of all
water or soil samples taken from the Property, in connection with the
examination of the environmental condition of the Property; provided, however,
any reports, studies, or other documents delivered by Purchaser to Seller shall
be delivered to Seller without representation or warranty, express or implied,
by Purchaser as to accuracy or completeness.
(iii) Any easements and/or access rights affecting the Property.
(iv) All other matters of material significance affecting the
Property.

9.4 Purchaser's Indemnity. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend (using counsel
selected by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to Seller) and hold harmless
Seller and its agents, employees, directors, officers, successors and assigns
from and against any and all damages, claims, losses, expenses, costs,
obligations and liabilities, including, without limitation, liabilities for all
reasonable attorneys', accountants', and experts' fees and expenses including

<PAGE> 29
(except in each case from (i) hazardous or toxic substances, materials or
wastes released or discharged by Seller (except to the extent exacerbated by
Purchaser or its agents, employees, contractors, lessees, sublessees or other
representatives of Purchaser), or (ii) an off-site source); provided, however,
that any leaking, leaching, migration or similar movement of hazardous or toxic
substances, materials or wastes which existed in soil or groundwater prior to
Closing hereunder shall not be considered a release or discharge by Purchaser
except to the extent movement is exacerbated by the negligent acts or omissions
or willful misconduct of Purchaser or anyone other than Raytheon Company and
Seller post-Closing on the Property (and provided further than construction or
other development activities on the Property that are performed in accordance
with due care shall not be considered "exacerbation" of any pre-existing
condition). Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if Purchaser shall
be obligated to indemnify Seller as provided under this Section 9.4, then
Purchaser may, at its election, control the defense of any claims against Seller
that are indemnified hereunder (provided Seller shall have the right to
reasonably approve the counsel defending Seller under this indemnification
obligation), and, if required, Purchaser also shall control the remediation in
connection with any such Covered Liabilities. Purchaser shall also indemnify and
hold harmless Raytheon Company and Seller against all claims and liabilities
caused by any refusal by Purchaser or successor owners of the Property to allow
remediation by Raytheon Company or Seller of contamination existing on, in or

Purchaser shall not be responsible or liable for any contamination or for the
existence of any hazardous or toxic substance which were first released,
discharged or disposed on, in or under the Property prior to the close of escrow
hereunder (unless Purchaser has exacerbated such contamination or hazardous or
toxic materials as a result of Purchaser's negligent acts or omissions or
willful misconduct, provided that construction or other development activities
on the Property that are performed in accordance with due care shall not be
considered "exacerbation" of any pre-existing condition).

applicable condition is required to be satisfied herein (or if no date is
expressly prescribed in this Agreement, then by the Close of Escrow), Purchaser
shall be entitled to a full return of the Earnest Money deposited by Purchaser
hereunder, as well as interest accrued thereon, and this Agreement shall
terminate. If Purchaser breaches or defaults under any obligation under this

Purchaser breaches any representation or warranty of Purchaser set forth in
Section 8.2 above, Seller shall be entitled to receive or retain the full
Earnest Money, as well as interest accrued thereon, as liquidated damages
pursuant to the terms of Section 1.4 below.
10.3 Interpleader. Seller and Purchaser mutually agree that in the event
of any controversy regarding the Earnest Money, unless mutual written
instructions are received by the Escrow Agent directing the Earnest Money's
disposition, the Escrow Agent shall not take any action, but instead shall
await the disposition of any proceeding relating to the Earnest Money or, at
the Escrow Agent's option, the Escrow Agent may interplead all parties and
deposit the Earnest Money with a court of competent jurisdiction in which event
the Escrow Agent may recover all of its court costs and reasonable attorneys'
fees. Seller or Purchaser, whichever loses in any such interpleader action,
shall be solely obligated to pay such costs and fees of the Escrow Agent as
well as the reasonable attorneys' fees of the prevailing party in accordance
with the other provisions of this Agreement.
10.4 Liability of Escrow Agent. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow
Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their
convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of
either of the parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either
of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good
faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its
negligent acts and for any loss, cost or expense incurred by Seller or
Purchaser resulting from the Escrow Agent's mistake of law respecting the
Escrow Agent's scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Purchaser shall
jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and
against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent's duties
hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the
Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving
negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent.
10.5 Escrow Fee. If the Closing fails to occur because of a failure by
Seller to comply with its obligations hereunder, then, without limiting
Purchaser's other rights and remedies against Seller by reason thereof, the
costs customarily charged and incurred in connection with the escrow, including
the cost of the escrow fee, any cancellation fees or other costs of the Title
Company, shall be paid by Seller (excluding any special escrow costs, premiums
or fees incurred at Purchaser's direction prior to the Closing). If the Closing
fails to occur because of a failure by Purchaser to comply with any of its
obligations hereunder, then, without limiting Seller's other rights and
remedies against Purchaser by reason thereof, such costs referred to in the
immediately preceding sentence shall be paid by Purchaser. If Closing shall
fail to occur for any other reason, such costs shall be equally divided between
the parties (excluding any special costs, premiums or fees incurred at Buyer's
direction prior to Closing).

Lessor, Lessor shall have all the rights and benefits of Purchaser pursuant to
this Agreement; provided, however, Veritas shall retain all (and shall not be
relieved or released from any) of the obligations or liabilities of Purchaser
hereunder and Veritas will consummate or cause to be consummated the
transactions described in this Agreement. All obligations and liabilities shall
be retained by Veritas solely as the agent of Lessor pursuant to the Financing
Documents. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that Lessor may, without
the consent of and without giving notice to Seller or Purchaser, collaterally
assign or otherwise grant a lien and security interest in its right, title and
interest pursuant to this Agreement and any proceeds thereof (excluding
therefrom the Holdback Funds and the FAR Funds which shall be deemed the
property of Seller while in escrow) to any entity acting as agent on behalf of
the Financing Parties providing any such sale/leaseback, off-balance sheet lease
financing operating lease or any similar transaction (as described in Paragraph
11.1(a) above).
11.2 Headings. The article and paragraph headings of this Agreement are
for convenience only and in no way limit or enlarge the scope or meaning of the
language hereof.
11.3 Invalidity and Waiver. If any portion of this Agreement is held
invalid or inoperative, then so far as is reasonable and possible the remainder
of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and operative, and effect shall be given
to the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative. The failure
by either party to enforce against the other any term or provision of this
Agreement shall be deemed not to be a waiver of such party's right to enforce
against the other party the same or any other such term or provision in the
future.
11.4 Governing Law. This Agreement and said other instruments shall, in
all respects, be governed, construed, applied, and enforced in accordance with
the law of the state in which the Property is located.
11.5 Survival. The provisions of this Agreement that contemplate
performance after the Closing and the obligations of the parties not fully
performed at the Closing shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed to be
merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing.
11.6 No Third-Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is not intended to give
or confer any benefits, rights, privileges, claims, actions or remedies to any
person or entity as a third-party beneficiary, decree, or otherwise; except in
the event Purchaser assigns this Agreement as permitted under Section 11.1,
then each Financing Party (and each agent acting on behalf of any such Financing
Party) acting in conjunction with any third party providing any sale/leaseback,
off-balance sheet lease financing operating lease or similar transaction (as
described in Section 11.1(b) above) shall be an intended third party beneficiary
as set forth therein.
11.7 Entirety and Amendments. This Agreement embodies the entire
agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings relating to the Property. This Agreement may be amended or
supplemented only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom
enforcement is sought.

11.8 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of
this Agreement.
11.9 Confidentiality. Between the date hereof and for a period ending
one year after the Closing Date, neither Seller nor Purchaser will announce or
disclose or cause or permit to be announced or disclosed, in any manner
whatsoever, the terms, conditions or substance of this Agreement without first
obtaining the written consent of the other party. The foregoing shall not
preclude either party from discussing the substance or any relevant details of
such transactions with any of its attorneys, accountants, professional
consultants, lenders, partners, investors, or any prospective lender, partner or
investor, as the case may be, or any governmental agency including, but not
limited to, the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Water Quality
Control Board, or prevent either party hereto, from complying with laws, rules,
regulations and court orders, including without limitation, governmental
regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements. Following the close of
escrow hereunder, either party hereto may release a press notice relating to, or
otherwise to announce or disclose the sale, which disclosure may identify the
Property, the Purchase Price of the Property, and the identity of the parties.
The immediately preceding sentence shall not preclude either of the parties from
disclosing, prior to, on or after the close of escrow hereunder, the terms or
conditions of this Agreement to a governmental agency, including, without
limitation, a governmental regulatory agency (including, without limitation, the
Securities Exchange Commission) or taxing authority. Purchaser and Seller may
disclose this transaction or any aspect or information related to this
transaction as its attorneys deem is necessary to comply with applicable law. In
addition to any other remedies available to a party, each party shall have the
right to seek equitable relief, including without limitation injunctive relief
or specific performance, against the other party in order to enforce the
provisions of this Paragraph 11.9.
11.10 Attorneys' Fees. Should either party employ attorneys to enforce
any of the provisions hereof, the party against whom any final judgment is
entered agrees to pay the prevailing party all reasonable costs, charges and
expenses, including attorneys' fees, expended or incurred by the prevailing
party in connection therewith.
11.11 Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be served on the parties at the addresses set forth in
Paragraph 1.1. Any such notices shall be either (a) sent by overnight delivery
using a nationally recognized overnight courier, in which case notice shall be
deemed delivered one business day after deposit with such courier, (b) sent by
telefax, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon transmission of
such notice provided that a hard copy is sent concurrently in accordance with
clauses (a) or (c) of this sentence, or (c) sent by personal delivery, in which
case notice shall be deemed delivered upon receipt or refusal of delivery. A
party's address may be changed by written notice to the other party; provided,
however, that no notice of a change of address shall be effective until actual
receipt of such notice. Copies of notices are for informational purposes only,
and a failure to give or receive copies of any notice shall not be deemed a
failure to give notice. The attorney for a party has the authority to send
notices on behalf of such party.

11.12 Further Assurances. In addition to the acts and deeds recited
herein and contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered by Seller to
Purchaser at Closing, Seller and Purchaser each agree to perform, execute and
deliver, but without any obligation to incur any additional liability or
expense, on or after the Closing any further deliveries and assurances as may be
reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to
further perfect the conveyance, transfer and assignment of the Property to
Purchaser and the lease back of a portion of the Property to Seller pursuant to
the terms of the Sublease.
11.13 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all
of such counterparts shall constitute one Agreement. To facilitate execution of
this Agreement, the parties may execute and exchange by telephone facsimile
counterparts of the signature pages.
11.14 Interpretation. The parties hereto acknowledge that, although
Seller's legal counsel primarily has been responsible for drafting this
Agreement and the exhibits hereto, Purchaser and its legal counsel have been
involved in the negotiations of such Agreement and exhibits. Accordingly the
parties hereto agree that the doctrine or presumption that ambiguities in a
contract shall be construed against the party drafting the same shall not be
employed in connection with this Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto.
This Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto shall be construed in accordance
with their fair meaning.
11.15 Specific Performance. Seller hereby acknowledges that, in the
event of a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this
Agreement by Seller, damages at law may be an inadequate remedy to Purchaser
and, accordingly, without limiting the other remedies of Purchaser, Seller's
obligations under this Agreement may be enforceable by specific performance.
11.16 Release of Claims. Except for the obligations of the parties
hereto under this Agreement that survive the close of escrow hereunder and
except for the obligations of the parties under the Sublease and the
Environmental Indemnity Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "C," as of the
Close of Escrow hereunder, Purchaser and Seller shall be deemed to have waived,
for themselves, and their respective successors and assigns, any and all claims
each of them may have against the other with respect to this Agreement and the
Property. With respect to the claims waived and released by the respective
parties as provided in this Section 11.16, the parties hereto expressly waive
the benefits of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which
provides as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor
does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of
executing the release, which, if known by him, must have
materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

(b) Reserved Rights of Sublandlord.

notwithstanding, Sublandlord reserves unto itself (as owner of the Developable
Land for federal income tax purposes, as lessee of the Developable Land for
financial accounting purposes and as Lessor's Construction Agent), to Lessor (as
owner of the Developable Land) and to tenants of any building which may be
constructed on the Developable Land, and to the agents, employees, servants,
invitees, contractors, guests, employees, customers and representatives of such

<PAGE> 45
(C) Show the Premises to prospective purchasers,
subtenants, brokers, lenders, investors, rating agencies or others at any

notice to Subtenant, agrees to be escorted by an employee of Subtenant and does
not materially interfere with Subtenant's use of the Premises.
(D) To take any other reasonable action in connection
with the operation, maintenance, preservation and/or development of the Property
provided the same shall not interfere with Subtenant's rights under this
Sublease.
(c) Maintenance by Subtenant. During the Sublease Term, Subtenant

Main Building, the Equipment Area and the Subtenant Improvements) in such manner
as is suitable to satisfy Subtenant's business needs.
(d) Parcelization of Land. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that,
at any time following the Commencement Date of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall
have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to obtaining any
necessary governmental approvals required, to subdivide or parcelize the Land
into two or more separate, legal parcels (one of which shall consist of the
Excluded Area) so long as (i) Subtenant's use, occupancy, and enjoyment of the
Premises and the Subtenant Improvements, and (ii) its rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, its parking rights, are not materially
diminished.
4. Sublease Term.
(a) Sublease Term. The term of this Sublease ("Sublease Term")
shall be for the period commencing on the date on which escrow closes on the
acquisition of fee title to the Land (and the Premises) from Subtenant (the
"Commencement Date") and ending (unless sooner terminated in accordance with the
terms of this Sublease) on December 31, 2000.
(b) Early Termination. Subtenant shall have the right to terminate
or cancel this Sublease at any time prior to the expiration of the Sublease Term
provided Subtenant delivers to Sublandlord not less than twelve (12) months'
prior written notice of such termination. Based on the foregoing, in no event
shall the effective date of any early termination of this Sublease pursuant to
this Subparagraph 4(b) occur prior to the date twelve (12) months following the
Commencement Date of this Sublease. Upon the effective date of such early
termination of the Sublease, all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder
(excepting therefrom the rights and obligations that expressly survive the
termination of this Sublease including Subtenant's and Sublandlord's (or
Lessor's, as the case may be) obligations under Paragraph 32 below) shall cease.
5. Rent.
(a) Time of Payment. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as base
rent for the Premises the sum specified in Subparagraph 5(b) below (the "Monthly
Installment") each month in advance on the first day of each calendar month,
without deduction or offset, except as expressly provided hereunder, and without
prior notice or demand, commencing on the Commencement Date (as defined above)
and continuing through the Sublease Term, together
-5-
<PAGE> 46
with such additional rents as are payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord under the
terms of this Sublease. The Monthly Installment for any period during the
Sublease Term which is less than one (1) full month shall be a pro rata portion
of the Monthly Installment based upon a thirty (30) day month.
(b) Monthly Installment. The Monthly Installment of rent to be
paid each month by Subtenant to Sublandlord during the Sublease Term, subject to
adjustment as provided below, shall be equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of an
amount that will yield Sublandlord an eight percent (8%) annual return on the
portion of the Purchase Price paid by Sublandlord that is allocable to the
Excluded Area and the improvements thereon. The acreage of the Excluded Area
shall be deemed to be 11.49 acres, and the acreage of the Land shall be deemed
to be 19.61 acres. The portion of the Purchase Price that is allocable to the
Excluded Area and the improvements thereon shall be determined by multiplying
$32,200,000 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the acreage included in the
Excluded Area (11.49 acres) and the denominator of which is the total acreage
included in the entire Land (19.61 acres). Thus, the Monthly Installment shall
be equal to $125,778.68 per month. Once the allocation of FAR Funds (as defined
in the Purchase Agreement) has been determined pursuant to Section 6.3(j) of the
Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Price used to calculate the Monthly
Installment, and thus the Monthly Installment, shall be adjusted accordingly.
(c) Additional Rent. All taxes, utilities, services, insurance
premiums, late charges, costs, expenses and other sums which Subtenant is
required to pay under this Sublease, and all reasonable damages, costs, and
attorneys' fees and expenses which Sublandlord may incur by reason of any
default of Subtenant or failure on Subtenant's part to comply with the terms of
this Sublease, shall be deemed to be additional rent ("Additional Rent") and
shall be paid, commencing on the Commencement Date, in addition to the Monthly
Installment of rent, and, in the event of nonpayment by Subtenant, Sublandlord
shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect thereto as Sublandlord
has for the nonpayment of the Monthly Installment of rent. Monthly Installments
of rent and Additional Rent are collectively referred to herein as "Rent".
(d) Place of Payment. Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the
United States of America to Sublandlord at 1600 Plymouth Street, Mountain View,
California 94043, Attn: _______________ or to such other person(s) or at such
other place(s) as Sublandlord may designate in writing. Upon designation of
another person to receive the Rent, all subsequent payments of Rent shall be
directed to such other person until such other person gives written notice to
direct such payments elsewhere.
(e) Late Payments. Any Monthly Installment of rent and Additional
Rent due under this Sublease that is not received by Sublandlord within five (5)
days after written notice that such sum is past due shall bear interest at the
Permitted Rate (as defined in Paragraph 31) from the date due until fully paid.
The payment of interest shall not cure any default by Subtenant under this
Sublease. In addition, Subtenant acknowledges that the late payment by Subtenant
to Sublandlord of rent will cause Sublandlord to incur costs not contemplated by
this Sublease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and
impracticable to ascertain. Those costs may include, but are not limited to,
administrative, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be
imposed on Sublandlord by the terms of any ground
-6-
<PAGE> 47
lease, mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any Monthly
Installment of rent and Additional Rent due from Subtenant shall not be received
by Sublandlord or Sublandlord's designee within five (5) days after written
notice that such sum is past due, then Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, in
addition to the interest provided above, a late charge in a sum equal to Two
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) for each delinquent payment. Acceptance of a
late charge by Sublandlord shall not constitute a waiver of Subtenant's default
with respect to the overdue amount, nor shall it prevent Sublandlord from
exercising any of its other rights and remedies.
(a) Holdover Rent. If Subtenant fails to vacate the Premises or
commence demolition of the Main Building and related improvements (the removal
of any asbestos and all other Hazardous Materials, if any, in the Main Building
shall constitute, among other things, demolition for purposes of this paragraph)
as set forth in more detail in Paragraphs 32(b)-(d) on or before the earlier of
January 1, 2001 or the date thirty (30) days after the effective date of the
earlier termination of this Sublease, as such earlier date may be extended
pursuant to the terms below, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord an amount equal
to two hundred percent (200%) of the daily Rent due under this Sublease
immediately prior to such date for each day that Subtenant fails to vacate the
Premises or commence demolition of the Main Building and related improvements as
set forth above. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence,
Subtenant shall be deemed to have commenced demolition of the Main Building and
related improvements or commenced removal of asbestos and all other Hazardous
Materials, if any, in the Main Building if Subtenant has undertaken activity in
such regards which evidences Subtenant's clear and good faith intention to
complete such demolition and remediation in an expeditious manner. Sublandlord's
acceptance of any payments pursuant to this Paragraph shall not constitute a
consent to Subtenant's holdover or result in any renewal of this Sublease. The
provisions set forth herein are in addition to and do not affect Sublandlord's
right of re-entry or any other rights of Sublandlord under this Sublease or at
law.
6. Use of Premises.
(a) Restrictions on Use. Subtenant shall use the Premises (and the
Subtenant improvements) for research and development, manufacturing, general
office purposes, and any other legally permitted use, provided such use is in
conformance and compliance with all applicable governmental laws, regulations,
rules and ordinances including, without limitation, all applicable environmental
and zoning and land use laws, regulations, rules, and ordinances (collectively,
"Law" or "Laws"). Except as required under Section 32 hereof, Subtenant shall
not commit or suffer to be committed, any waste upon the Premises, the Subtenant
Improvements or the Excluded Area, or any nuisance, or allow the Premises, the
Subtenant Improvements or the Excluded Area to be used for any unlawful purpose
or any purpose not permitted by this Sublease. Subtenant, at its sole cost and
expense, shall procure, maintain and make available for Sublandlord's reasonable
inspection throughout the Lease Term, all governmental approvals, licenses and
permits required for the proper and lawful conduct of Subtenant's permitted uses
of the Premises.
(b) Suitability. Subtenant acknowledges that neither Sublandlord
nor any agent or employee of Sublandlord has made any representation or warranty
with respect to the Premises, the Subtenant Improvements or the Excluded Area or
with respect to the suitability of
-7-
<PAGE> 48
the same for the conduct of Subtenant's business, nor has Sublandlord agreed to
undertake any modification, alteration or improvement to the Premises, except as
provided in this Sublease. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord makes no
representations regarding the use of the Premises, the Subtenant Improvements or
the Excluded Area by Subtenant or that the uses permitted by Subparagraph 6(a)
are allowed by governmental or quasi-governmental agencies having jurisdiction
or applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders or
requirements now or hereafter in effect.
7. Hazardous Materials. Subtenant and Subtenant's agents, employees,
contractors, assignees and subtenants may not use, place, store or transport
(collectively, "Use") Hazardous Material(s) (defined below) on or about any
portion of the Premises or Excluded Area or any other part of the Land (or in
connection with the use or operation of the Subtenant Improvements) unless
Subtenant complies with all applicable Laws with respect to the Use by
Subtenant, its agents, employees, contractors, assignees or subtenants of such
Hazardous Materials. Nothing herein shall be construed to allow Subtenant to
release or dispose of (collectively, "Release") Hazardous Materials in or about
any portion of the Premises or Excluded Area unless such Release is in
compliance with applicable Laws. Any Use of the Hazardous Materials beyond the
scope allowed in this Paragraph and any Release of Hazardous Materials shall be
subject to Sublandlord's and Lessor's prior written consent, which may be
withheld in Sublandlord's or Lessor's sole and absolute discretion, and shall
require an amendment to the Sublease in the event Sublandlord and Lessor do
consent which shall set forth the materials, scope of use, indemnification and
any other matter required by Sublandlord and Lessor in Sublandlord's and
Lessor's sole and absolute discretion. Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and
hold Sublandlord and Sublandlord's agents harmless from and against any and all
claims, losses, damages, liabilities, or expenses arising in connection with the
Use or Release of Hazardous Materials on or following the Commencement Date of
this Sublease in violation of Law by Subtenant, Subtenant's agents, employees,
contractors, assignees or subtenants using the Premises or Excluded Area.
Subtenant's obligation to defend, hold harmless and indemnify pursuant to this
Paragraph 7 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Sublease.
The foregoing indemnity shall not apply to, and Subtenant shall not be
responsible hereunder for, the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or
about the Premises or Excluded Area to the extent caused by Sublandlord, its
agents, employees, contractors, assignees or subtenants (other than Subtenant);
provided that Sublandlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing
indemnity is intended to supplement that certain Indemnity Agreement between
Subtenant and Sublandlord in the form of Exhibit C to the Purchase Agreement
(the "Indemnity Agreement"), and to the extent the foregoing indemnity
contradicts Subtenant's obligations under the Indemnity Agreement, the Indemnity
Agreement shall prevail. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that all of
Subtenant's indemnity obligations set forth in this Sublease are supplemental to
Subtenant's indemnity obligations set forth in the Indemnity Agreement.
Sublandlord shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to
Subtenant, to inspect, investigate, sample and/or monitor the Premises and
Excluded Area, including any soil, water, groundwater, or other sampling, to the
extent reasonably necessary to determine whether Subtenant is complying with the
terms of this Sublease with respect to Hazardous Materials. In connection
therewith, Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord with reasonable access to all
portions
-8-
<PAGE> 49
of the Premises, the Subtenant Improvements and the Excluded Area (subject to
reasonable security measures imposed by Subtenant); provided, however, that
Sublandlord shall avoid any unreasonable interference with the operation of
Subtenant's business on or in the Premises or the Excluded Area. All costs
reasonably incurred by Sublandlord in performing such inspections,
investigation, sampling and/or monitoring shall be reimbursed by Subtenant to
Sublandlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord's
demand for payment if it is determined that Hazardous Materials have been Used
by Subtenant or Subtenant's Agents on or after the Commencement Date of this
Sublease in violation of Laws or a Release of Hazardous Materials in violation
of Laws has occurred on, in or under the Premises or the Excluded Area, or any
portion thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease,
Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledges that (i) the Environmental Protection
Agency is currently overseeing cleanup measures that are being conducted at the
Land and at surrounding parcels of real property, (ii) the Land is part of a
regional Superfund site known as the Middlefield-Ellis-Whitman (MEW) site, (iii)
Raytheon, a former owner of the Land, is under a Consent Decree that provides
that Raytheon will perform groundwater and soil remediation for the property it
occupied and operated within the MEW area, (iv) in 1987, a soil-bentonite,
subsurface, slurry wall was installed by Raytheon around the perimeter of the
Land enclosing the soil and water bearing zones as part of the remedial measures
conducted by Raytheon, (v) a groundwater extraction and treatment system was
installed in 1987 on the Land and, as a long term remedial measure, groundwater
is extracted from several wells located both within the boundaries of the Land
and from adjacent property, (vi) a soil vapor extraction system (covering
approximately a surface area of four acres and going to a depth of approximately
15 to 18 feet) was installed by Raytheon in 1996 to remediate the contaminated
soils in the Land and Raytheon has petitioned and obtained approval from the
Environmental Protection Agency for closure for part of the soil vapor remedial
system, and (vii) the groundwater and soil treatment facilities referred to
above are maintained by Raytheon and Raytheon has provided an indemnification to
Subtenant to protect it from clean up or other liability related to
contamination existing prior to the date Subtenant acquired title to the Land
and the improvements then located thereon.
As used in this Sublease, the term "Hazardous Materials" means any
chemical, substance, waste or material which has been or is hereafter determined
by any federal, state or local governmental authority to be capable of posing
risk of injury to health or safety, including without limitation, those
substances included within the definitions of "hazardous substances," "hazardous
materials," "toxic substances," or "solid waste" under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, and the Hazardous Materials
Transportation Act, as amended, and in the regulations promulgated pursuant to
said laws; those substances defined as "hazardous wastes" in section 25117 of
the California Health & Safety Code, or as "hazardous substances" in section
25316 of the California Health & Safety Code, as amended, and in the regulations
promulgated pursuant to said laws; those substances listed in the United States
Department of Transportation Table (49 CFR 172.101 and amendments thereto) or

-9-
<PAGE> 50
without limitation the California Health & Safety Code, Division 20, and Title
26 of the California Code of Regulations; and any material, waste or substance
which is (i) petroleum, (ii) asbestos, (iii) polychlorinated biphenyls, (iv)

8. Taxes and Assessments.
(a) Subtenant's Property. Subtenant shall pay before delinquency
any and all taxes and assessments, license fees and public charges levied,
assessed or imposed upon or against Subtenant's trade fixtures, equipment,
furnishings, furniture, inventory, appliances and other personal property
installed or located on or within the Premises or Excluded Area, including,
without limitation, the Subtenant Improvements (except for the Subtenant
Improvements described in subparagraphs (viii), (x) and (xvi) of Section 2(a)
above) to the extent any such improvements are separately assessed
(collectively, the "personal property"). Subtenant shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause said personal property to be assessed and billed
separately from the real property of Sublandlord. If any of Subtenant's said
personal property shall be assessed with Sublandlord's real property, Subtenant
shall pay Sublandlord, as Additional Rent, the taxes attributable to Subtenant's
personal property within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written statement
from Sublandlord setting forth the taxes applicable to Subtenant's property.
Subtenant shall comply with the provisions of any law, ordinance, rule or
regulation of taxing authorities which require Subtenant to file a report of
Subtenant's personal property located on or within the Premises or the Excluded
Area.
(b) Definition of Taxes. The term "Taxes" as used in this Sublease
shall collectively mean (to the extent any of the following are not paid by
Subtenant pursuant to Paragraphs 8(a) above, all real estate taxes and general
and special assessments (including, but not limited to, assessments for public
improvements or benefit); taxes based on vehicles utilizing parking areas on the
Excluded Area; environmental surcharges; gross rental receipts taxes; water and
sewer taxes, levies, assessments and other charges in the nature of real
property taxes or assessments (including, but not limited to, assessments for
public improvements or benefit); and all other governmental, quasi-governmental
or special district impositions of any kind and nature whatsoever; regardless of
whether any of the foregoing are now customary or within the contemplation of
the parties hereto and regardless of whether resulting from increased rate
and/or valuation, or whether extraordinary or ordinary, general or special,
unforeseen or foreseen, or similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing and
which during the Sublease Term are laid, levied, assessed or imposed upon or
which become a lien upon or chargeable against the Premises and/or the Excluded
Area under or by virtue of any present or future laws, statutes, ordinances,
regulations, or other requirements of any governmental, quasi-governmental or
special district authority whatsoever, excluding net income, succession,
transfer, gift, franchise, estate or inheritance taxes. The term "environmental
surcharges" shall include any and all expenses, taxes, charges or penalties
imposed by the Federal Department of Energy, Federal Environmental Protection
Agency, the Federal Clean Air Act, or any regulations promulgated thereunder, or
imposed by any other local, state or federal governmental agency or entity now
or hereafter vested with the power to impose taxes, assessments or other types
of surcharges as a means of controlling or abating environmental pollution or
the use of energy or any natural resource in
-10-
<PAGE> 51
regard to the use, operation or occupancy of the Premises and/or the Excluded
Area. The term "Taxes" shall include (to the extent the same are not paid by
Subtenant pursuant to Paragraph 8(a)), without limitation, all taxes,
assessments, levies, fees, impositions or charges levied, imposed, assessed,
measured, or based in any manner whatsoever upon or with respect to the use,
possession, occupancy, leasing, operation or management of the Premises and/or
the Excluded Area or in lieu of or equivalent to any Taxes set forth in this
Paragraph 8(b). In the event any such Taxes are payable by Sublandlord as lessee
of the Property and it shall not be lawful for Subtenant to reimburse
Sublandlord for such Taxes, then the Rentals payable hereunder shall be
increased to net Sublandlord the same net Rental after imposition of any such
Tax upon Sublandlord as would have been payable to Sublandlord prior to the
imposition of any such Tax.
(c) Taxes as Operating Expense. All Taxes which are levied or
assessed or which become a lien upon the Premises and/or the Excluded Area or
which become due or accrue during the Sublease Term shall be an Operating
Expense, and Subtenant shall pay as Additional Rent each month during the
Sublease Term, commencing on the Commencement Date, 1/12th of such Taxes, based
on Sublandlord's estimate thereof, pursuant to Paragraph 11 below. Taxes during
any partial tax fiscal year(s) within the Sublease Term shall be prorated
according to the ratio which the number of days during the Sublease Term or of
actual occupancy of the Premises by Subtenant, whichever is greater, during such
year bears to 365. In calculating Subtenant's share of Taxes to be paid under
this Sublease, during the period of the Sublease Term that the Excluded Area is
not a separate, legal parcel, the Taxes allocable to the Excluded Area shall be
based on the ratio that the acreage included within the Excluded Area bears to
the total acreage included within that portion of the Land (plus the assessed
value of any improvements and building located thereon) that is covered by the
tax bill covering the Excluded Area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall Subtenant's Share of Taxes include taxes assessed on any new improvements
constructed on the Developable Land.
9. Indemnity; Insurance.
(a) Indemnity. Subtenant agrees to indemnify, protect, defend
(with counsel selected by Subtenant and reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord)
and hold harmless Sublandlord, each Lender and their respective Agents (except
to the extent arising from the active negligence or willful misconduct of, or
breach of this Sublease by, Sublandlord, such Lender or their respective Agents)
against any and all claims, damages, losses, causes of action, judgments,
obligations and liabilities, and all reasonable expenses incurred in
investigating or resisting the same (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs), on account of, or arising out of (i) the operation,
use, or occupancy of the Premises and Excluded Area (and any and all of the
Subtenant Improvements except for the items set forth in subparagraphs (viii),
(x) and (xvi) of Paragraph 2(a)), or any part thereof, by Subtenant and/or its
Agents during the term of this Sublease, (ii) any occurrence in, on or about the
Premises and/or the Excluded Area during the term of this Sublease, or (iii) any
occurrence in, on or about the Premises or Excluded Area or Land, to the extent
caused by or contributed to by Subtenant and/or its Agents during the term of
this Sublease. The obligations of Subtenant under this Paragraph 9(a) shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.
-11-
<PAGE> 52
(b) Insurance by Sublandlord. Sublandlord shall, during the
Sublease Term, procure and keep in force the following insurance, the cost of
which shall be an Operating Expense, payable by Subtenant pursuant to Paragraph
11 below:
(i) Liability Insurance. Commercial general liability or
comprehensive general liability insurance against any and all claims for
personal injury, death or property damage occurring in or about the Premises or
the Excluded Area in an initial amount of $2,000,000 per occurrence and
$2,000,000 in the aggregate with umbrella coverage of at least $5,000,000 per
occurrence and in the aggregate. Such insurance shall have such increased limits
of coverage as Sublandlord or Lessor may from time to time determine are
reasonably necessary for its protection, provided that in no event shall such
increased coverage exceed the coverage which is customary for similar buildings
in the South Bay area.
(c) Insurance by Subtenant. Subtenant shall, during the Sublease
Term, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, procure and keep in force the
insurance set forth in Paragraphs 9(c)(i), 9(c)(ii), 9(c)(iii) and 9(c)(iv)
below. All insurance that Subtenant is required to procure and maintain shall
provide that it may not be cancelled or materially modified without thirty (30)
days prior written notice to Sublandlord and Lessor.
(i) Liability Insurance. Commercial general liability or
comprehensive general liability insurance and naming Subtenant as insured and
Sublandlord and each Lender as additional insured, against any and all claims
for personal injury, death or property damage occurring in or about the Premises
or the Excluded Area, or arising out of Subtenant's or Subtenant's Agents' use
of the Excluded Area, use or occupancy of the Premises or Excluded Area or
Subtenant's operations on the Premises and Excluded Area. Such insurance shall
have a combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence and
$5,000,000 in the aggregate. Such insurance shall contain a cross-liability
(severability of interests) clause and an extended ("broad form") liability
endorsement, including blanket contractual coverage and motor vehicle liability
coverage. Such insurance shall name Lessor and Sublandlord as additional
insureds. Such liability insurance shall be primary and not contributing to any
insurance available to Lessor, Sublandlord or each Lender, and Lessor's,
Sublandlord's and each Lender's insurance (if any) shall be in excess thereto.
Such insurance shall specifically insure Subtenant's performance of the
indemnity, defense and hold harmless agreements contained in Paragraph 9(a),
although Subtenant's obligations pursuant to Paragraph 9(a) shall not be limited
to the amount of any insurance required of or carried by Subtenant under this
Paragraph 9(c)(i). Subtenant shall be responsible for insuring that the amount
of insurance maintained by Subtenant is sufficient for Subtenant's purposes.
Such liability insurance shall be primary and noncontributing to any insurance
available to Lessor and Sublandlord, but only as respects Subtenant's negligence
for bodily injury or property damage arising out of their business operations.
(ii) Business Interruption Insurance. Business interruption
insurance naming Sublandlord, Lessor and each Lender as additional insureds in
an amount sufficient to cover twelve (12) months of Subtenant's Rent obligation
under this Sublease.
(iii) Property Insurance. "All risk" property insurance,
providing protection against those perils included within the classification of
"all risk" insurance, on the
-12-
<PAGE> 53
Premises and Excluded Area, including any improvements or fixtures constructed
or installed on the Premises and Excluded Area by Sublandlord or Lessor.
(iv) Other. Such other insurance as required by law,
including, without limitation, workers' compensation insurance.
(v) Optional Insurance. Subtenant may, but shall not be
obligated to, during the Sublease Term, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense,
procure and keep in force the following insurance:
(A) Personal Property Insurance. "All risk" property
insurance, providing protection against those perils included within the
classification of "all risk" insurance, on all leasehold improvements and
Subtenant installed in the Premises or on the Excluded Area by Subtenant at its
expense (if any), and on all equipment, trade fixtures, inventory, fixtures and
personal property located on or in the Premises or the Excluded Area, including
improvements or fixtures hereinafter constructed or installed on the Premises or
the Excluded Area. Sublandlord shall have no interest in nor any right to the
proceeds of any insurance procured by Subtenant pursuant to this Subparagraph
9(c)(v)(A). Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Sublandlord shall not be
obligated under this Sublease to maintain all risk or property insurance
covering the leasehold improvements or any equipment, trade fixtures, inventory,
fixtures or personal property referred to in this Subparagraph 9(c)(v)(A). If
Sublandlord elects to so obtain insurance covering Subtenant's obligations under
this Subparagraph 9(c)(v)(A), the cost of such insurance shall not be an
Operating Expense and Subtenant shall be liable for the cost of any deductible
amount relating to such insurance.
(d) Failure by Subtenant to Obtain Insurance. If Subtenant does
not take out the insurance required pursuant to Paragraph 9(c)(i), 9(c)(ii),
9(c)(iii) or 9(c)(iv) or keep the same in full force and effect, without prior
notice to Subtenant, Sublandlord may, but shall not be obligated to, take out
the necessary insurance and pay the premium therefor, and Subtenant shall repay
to Sublandlord, as Additional Rent, the amount so paid promptly upon demand. In
addition, Sublandlord may recover from Subtenant and Subtenant agrees to pay, as
Additional Rent, any and all reasonable expenses (including reasonable
deductibles and attorneys' fees) and damages which Sublandlord may sustain by
reason of the failure of Subtenant to obtain and maintain such insurance, it
being expressly declared that the expenses and damages of Sublandlord shall not
be limited to the amount of the premiums thereon.
(e) Claims by Subtenant. Except to the extent arising out of the
active negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, any Lender or Sublandlord or
any of their respective Agents, neither Lessor, any Lender nor Sublandlord shall
be liable to Subtenant, and Subtenant waives all claims against Lessor, each
Lender and Sublandlord, for injury or death to any person, damage to any
property, or loss of use of any property in the Premises or the Excluded Area by
and from all causes, including without limitation, any defect in the Premises or
the Excluded Area and/or any damage or injury resulting from fire, steam,
electricity, gas, water or rain, which may leak or flow from or into any part of
the Premises or the Excluded Area, or from breakage, leakage, obstruction or
other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air
conditioning or lighting fixtures, whether the damage or injury results from
conditions arising upon the Premises or the Excluded Area or from other sources.
The preceding to the contrary
-13-
<PAGE> 54
notwithstanding, under no circumstances shall Lessor, any Lender or Sublandlord
be liable to Subtenant for any claim by Subtenant of lost profits, loss of
income or loss of business.
(f) Mutual Waiver of Subrogation. Sublandlord hereby releases
Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby releases Sublandlord (and, to the extent Lessor
carries any insurance on the Property or any furnishings, fixtures, equipment,
inventory or other property in, on or about the Premises, Sublandlord shall use
its reasonable best efforts to cause Lessor to release Subtenant), and their
respective officers, agents, employees and servants, from any and all claims or
demands of damages, loss, expense or injury to the Premises or the Excluded Area
(or the Land), or to the furnishings, fixtures, equipment, inventory or other
property of either Sublandlord or Subtenant in, about or upon the Premises or
the Excluded Area (or the Land) (collectively, a "Claim"), which is caused by or
results from perils, events or happenings which are the subject of insurance
carried by the respective parties pursuant to this Paragraph 9 or otherwise and
in force at the time of any such loss, whether due to the negligence of the
other party or its agents and regardless of cause or origin; provided, however,
that such waiver shall be effective only to the extent permitted by the
insurance covering such loss, to the extent such insurance is not prejudiced
thereby, to the extent insured against and to the extent each such Claim is
fully satisfied by proceeds from such insurance. In the event of a Claim
concerning Subtenant's Use or Release of Hazardous Materials in, on or about the
Premises, the Excluded Area or the Land, Subtenant shall use any proceeds from
insurance received by Subtenant in connection with such Claim to remove and/or
remediate the Hazardous Materials.
10. Utilities. Subtenant shall pay during the Sublease Term and prior to
delinquency all charges for water, gas, light, heat, power, electricity,
telephone or other communication service, janitorial service, trash pick-up,
sewer and all other services supplied to Subtenant or consumed by Subtenant or
any of Subtenant's agents, contractors or invitees on the Premises or the
Excluded Area (collectively, the "Services") and all taxes, levies, fees or
surcharges therefor. Subtenant shall arrange for Services to be supplied to the
Premises and the Excluded Area and shall contract for all of the Services in
Subtenant's name prior to the Commencement Date. In the event that any of the
Services cannot be separately billed or metered to the Premises or the Excluded
Area, or if any of the Services are not separately metered as of the
Commencement Date, the cost of such Services shall be an Operating Expense and
Subtenant shall pay such cost to Sublandlord, as Additional Rent, as provided in
Paragraph 11 below.
11. Operating Expenses.
(a) Definition. "Operating Expense" or "Operating Expenses," as
used in this Sublease, shall mean and include all items identified in other
paragraphs of this Sublease as an Operating Expense and the reasonable and
necessary cost paid or incurred by Sublandlord for the operation, maintenance,
and repair of the Premises and Excluded Area, which costs shall include, without
limitation: the cost of any necessary Services and utilities supplied to the
Premises and Excluded Area (to the extent the same are not separately incurred
by, or charged or metered to, Subtenant). Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge
that, during the Sublease Term, the Premises and Excluded Area will be managed,
maintained and operated by Subtenant, at Subtenant's cost, in a continuation of
its present operations. Consequently, other than those costs or expenses that
are expressly identified in this Sublease as an Operating Expense, neither
Sublandlord nor Subtenant contemplate any other expenses incurred or to be
incurred by
-14-
<PAGE> 55
Sublandlord to be passed through to Subtenant under this Sublease as an
Operating Expense or otherwise. Because Subtenant is responsible, pursuant to
the terms of Paragraph 12(b) of this Sublease, for repair and maintenance of the
Premises (and the interior improvements located therein) and all buildings,
structures and improvements located on the Excluded Area, Sublandlord should not
be incurring any repair or maintenance expenses with respect to the same (and
Sublandlord shall not be incurring any Operating Expenses to be passed through
to Subtenant with respect to the same except to the extent that Sublandlord is
reasonably likely to be exposed to criminal or civil liability for any failure
by Subtenant to perform any maintenance or repairs as determined in
Sublandlord's reasonable discretion, in which case Sublandlord may perform such
repairs or maintenance following five (5) days advance written notice to
Subtenant if such repairs or maintenance have not been performed within such
5-day period). If any Operating Expenses incurred by Sublandlord are incurred
with respect to the entire Land (and not just the Excluded Area), then
Subtenant's share of such Operating Expenses shall be in the ratio that the
acreage included within the Excluded Area bears to the acreage included within
the entire Land; provided, however, if the Premises, the Subtenant Improvements
and other buildings, structures or improvements located on the Excluded Area are
separately assessed from any other buildings, structures or improvements
situated on the Land, then Subtenant shall be obligated to pay one hundred
percent (100%) of all Taxes levied or assessed with respect to the Premises and
other buildings, structures or improvements located on the Excluded Area and
which become due or accrue during the term of this Sublease. If Sublandlord
subdivides or parcelizes the Land into two or more legal parcels (one of which
is the Excluded Area), and the Excluded Area and the buildings, structures and
improvements situated thereon are assessed separately from the balance of the
Land and the buildings, structures or improvements situated on such balance of
the Land, then Subtenant shall pay, as an Operating Expense, one hundred percent
(100%) of all necessary Operating Expenses incurred by Sublandlord in connection
with the Premises and the buildings, structures and other improvements located
on the Excluded Area and the Excluded Area (including, without limitation, Taxes
levied or assessed with respect to or against the Excluded Area and Taxes
allocable to the Premises, Subtenant Improvements and all leasehold
improvements, constructed or installed therein) and the buildings, structures,
and other improvements located on the Excluded Area.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease,
within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt by Subtenant of Sublandlord's
statement of Operating Expenses prepared pursuant to Paragraph 10(a) hereof for
any prior annual period during the Sublease Term, Subtenant or its authorized
representative shall have the right to inspect the books of Sublandlord during
the business hours of Sublandlord at Sublandlord's office or, at Sublandlord's
option, such other location as Sublandlord reasonably may specify, for the
purpose of verifying the information contained in the statement. Unless
Subtenant asserts specific errors within one hundred eighty (180) days after
receipt of the statement, the statement shall be deemed correct as between
Sublandlord and Subtenant, except as to individual components subsequently
determined within one (1) year to be in error by future audit.
(b) Payment of Operating Expenses by Subtenant. Prior to the
Commencement Date, and annually thereafter, Sublandlord shall deliver to
Subtenant an estimate of necessary Operating Expenses incurred by Sublandlord
(and not otherwise incurred by Subtenant) for the succeeding year. Subtenant's
payment of Operating Expenses shall be based
-15-
<PAGE> 56
upon Sublandlord's estimate of Operating Expenses and shall be payable in equal
monthly installments in advance on the first day of each calendar month
commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Sublease Term.
(c) Exclusions From Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding anything

obligation to perform, to pay directly, or to reimburse Sublandlord for, all or
any portion of the following costs and expenses (collectively, "Costs"): (i) the
cost of any work performed (such as preparing a tenant's space for occupancy,

<PAGE> 57
(e) Betterments. With respect to betterments or other
extraordinary or special assessments that may be included in the definition of
Taxes, Subtenant's obligations shall apply only to the extent such assessments
are payable during and in respect of the Sublease Term if paid over the longest
period permitted by law.
(f) Right to Contest. Subtenant at its cost shall have the right,
at any time, to seek a reduction in the assessed valuation of the Premises, or
other improvements located on the Excluded Area, and/or the Excluded Area, or to
contest any Taxes that are to be paid by Subtenant. If Subtenant seeks a
reduction or contests the Taxes, Subtenant shall continue to pay its share of
any such Taxes during such proceedings.
Sublandlord shall not be required to join in any proceedings or
contest brought by the Subtenant unless the provisions of any law require that
the proceeding or contest be brought by or in the name of Sublandlord or any
owner of the premises. In that case Sublandlord shall join in the proceeding or
contest or permit it to be brought in Sublandlord's name as long as Sublandlord
is not required to bear any cost. Subtenant, on final determination of the
proceeding or contest, shall immediately pay or discharge all costs, charges,
interest, and penalties incidental to the decision or judgment.
12. Repairs and Maintenance.
(a) [Intentionally Omitted]
(b) Subtenant's Repairs. Subtenant shall, at its sole cost, be
responsible for the repair and maintenance of the Premises (and the interior
improvements located therein) and all buildings, structures and improvements
located on the Excluded Area. Subtenant shall not allow the Premises or the
other buildings, structures or improvements located on the Excluded Area to fall
into such disrepair as to constitute a health or safety risk. Subtenant's
obligation shall extend to all alterations, additions and improvements to the
Premises, and all fixtures and appurtenances therein and thereto. Sublandlord
acknowledges that it is the responsibility of Subtenant (subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 32 below) to demolish the Premises and the other
buildings, structures and improvements located on the Excluded Area at or
following the expiration of the Sublease Term and, therefore, Sublandlord shall
not require Subtenant to maintain the Premises or other buildings, structures or
improvements located on the Excluded Area in good condition or repair during the
Sublease Term, except to the extent (1) Sublandlord reasonably determines any
maintenance to be necessary to avoid criminal or civil liability for any failure
by Subtenant to maintain or repair the Premises or any improvements thereto, in
which case Subtenant shall be obligated to take all actions reasonably required
by Landlord to address such potential liability arising therefrom or (2)
Subtenant's failure to maintain or repair the Premises exacerbates any
environmental condition or contamination in, on or about the Premises or the
Excluded Property.
Should Subtenant fail to keep the Premises or any other buildings,
structures or improvements located on the Excluded Area in safe condition within
fifteen (15) days after notice from Sublandlord or should Subtenant fail
thereafter to diligently perform its obligations under this Paragraph 12(b),
Sublandlord, in addition to all other remedies available hereunder or by law and
without waiving any alternative remedies, may take such reasonable steps as to
make
-17-
<PAGE> 58
the Premises or other buildings, structures or improvements on the Excluded Area
safe, and in that event, Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord as Additional
Rent for the reasonable costs so incurred by Sublandlord within fifteen (15)
days of written demand by Sublandlord.
Sublandlord shall have no maintenance or repair obligations
whatsoever with respect to the Premises or any buildings, structures or
improvements located thereon. Subtenant hereby expressly waives the provisions
of Subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the Civil Code of
California and all rights to make repairs at the expense of Sublandlord as
provided in Section 1942 of said Civil Code.
13. Alterations.
(a) Limitations. Subtenant shall not make, or suffer to be made,
any structural alterations, improvements or additions in, on, about or to the
Premises or any other buildings, structure or improvements located on the
Excluded Area, or any part thereof, without the prior consent of Sublandlord
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed as
long as Subtenant provides Sublandlord with additional rent in an amount equal
to the additional costs of demolition and removal associated with such
improvements valued in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000)) and without a
valid building permit issued by the appropriate governmental authority.
Sublandlord's consent shall not be required for interior nonstructural
alterations within the Premises or any other buildings, structures or
improvements located on the Excluded Area as long as subtenant provides
Sublandlord with additional rent in an amount equal to the additional cost of
demolition and removal associated with such improvements valued in excess of Ten
Thousand Dollars ($10,000). Subtenant shall give written notice to Sublandlord
five (5) business days prior to employing any laborer or contractor to perform
services related to, or receiving materials for use upon the Premises or any
other buildings, structures or improvements located on the Excluded Area, and
prior to the commencement of any work of improvement on the Premises or any
other buildings, structures or improvements located on the Excluded Area. All
alterations or improvements made to the Premises by Subtenant shall be made in
accordance with applicable Laws and in a workmanlike manner.
At the time Subtenant requests Sublandlord's consent to any
structural alterations or improvements, Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant in
writing whether Sublandlord will require Subtenant, at Subtenant's expense, to
remove any such structural alterations or improvements and restore the Premises
or other improvements located on the Excluded Area to their prior condition at
the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. All non-structural
alteration or improvements made by Subtenant to the Premises or other
improvements located on the Excluded Area during the Sublease Term, including,
without limitation, movable furniture and trade fixtures not affixed to the
Premises or other improvements located on the Excluded Area, shall be removed
from the Excluded Area by Subtenant, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, upon
the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease.
14. Default.

shall exist if any of the following events (hereinafter referred to as "Event of
Default") shall occur:

(ii) Subtenant's failure to perform any other term, covenant
or condition contained in this Sublease where such failure shall have continued

(6) months thereafter;
(iii) Subtenant's assignment of its assets for the benefit of
its creditors;

(v) Subtenant hereunder shall commence any case, proceeding
or other action seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation,

or any substantial part of its property;
(vi) Subtenant shall take any corporate action to authorize

appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it
or for all or any substantial part of its property, and such case, proceeding or

(viii) Subtenant's failure to maintain any of the insurance it
is required to maintain pursuant to Section 9(c) above where such failure has
not been cured within three (3) business days after written notice is given to

<PAGE> 60
(i) Recovery of Rent. Sublandlord shall be entitled to keep
this Sublease in full force and effect (whether or not Subtenant shall have
abandoned the Premises) and to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this
Sublease, including the right to recover rent and other sums as they become due,
plus interest at the Permitted Rate (as defined in Paragraph 31 below) from the
due date of each installment of rent or other sum until paid.
(ii) Termination. Sublandlord may terminate this Sublease by
giving Subtenant written notice of termination. On the giving of the notice all
of Subtenant's rights in the Premises and the Excluded Area shall terminate.
Upon the giving of the notice of termination, Subtenant shall surrender and
vacate the Premises and the Excluded Area in the condition required by Paragraph
32, and Sublandlord may reenter and take possession of the Premises and all the
remaining improvements or property and eject Subtenant or any of Subtenant's
subtenants, assignees or other person or persons claiming any right under or
through Subtenant or eject some and not others or eject none. This Sublease may
also be terminated by a judgment specifically providing for termination. Any
termination under this Paragraph shall not release Subtenant from the payment of
any sum then due Sublandlord or from any claim for damages or rent previously
accrued or then accruing against Subtenant. In no event shall any one or more of
the following actions by Sublandlord constitute a termination of this Sublease:
(A) Maintenance and preservation of the Premises (or
any other improvements, buildings, or structures located on the Excluded Area)
or the Excluded Area;
(B) Efforts to relet the Premises;
(C) Appointment of a receiver in order to protect
Sublandlord's interest hereunder;
(D) Consent to any subletting of the Premises or any
other buildings, structures or improvements located thereon or assignment of
this Sublease by Subtenant, whether pursuant to provisions hereof concerning
subletting and assignment or otherwise; or
(E) Any other action by Sublandlord or Sublandlord's
agents intended to mitigate the adverse effects from any breach of this Sublease
by Subtenant.
(iii) Damages. In the event this Sublease is terminated
pursuant to Subparagraph 14(b)(ii) above, or otherwise, Sublandlord shall be
entitled to damages in the following sums:
(A) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent
which has been earned at the time of termination; plus
(B) The worth at the time of award of the amount by
which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the
time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Subtenant proves could
have been reasonably avoided; plus
-20-
<PAGE> 61
(C) 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 Subtenant proves could be reasonably
avoided; and
(D) Any other amount necessary to compensate
Sublandlord for all detriment proximately caused by Subtenant's failure to
perform Subtenant's obligations under this Sublease, or which in the ordinary
course of things would be likely to result therefrom.
(E) The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts
referred to in Subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this Subparagraph 14(b)(iii), is
computed by allowing interest at the Permitted Rate. The "worth at the time of
award" of the amounts referred to in Subparagraph (C) of this Subparagraph
14(b)(iii) is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the
Federal Reserve Board of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent
(1%). The term "rent," as used in this Paragraph 14, shall include all sums
required to be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord pursuant to the terms of this
Sublease.
(c) Sublandlord shall be in default under this Sublease hereunder
if Sublandlord breaches an agreement, or fails to perform an obligation required
of Sublandlord within ten (10) days after notice in the case of a monetary
obligation, or thirty (30) days after notice in the case of a nonmonetary
obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of a nonmonetary obligation of
Sublandlord is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for
performance, then Sublandlord shall not be in default if Sublandlord commences
performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes the same to completion.
If Sublandlord breaches any agreement in this Sublease or fails to
make any payment or perform any other act on its part to be performed under this
Sublease, provided that Subtenant has delivered to Sublandlord (and
Sublandlord's Lender, if required) written notice of such default and
Sublandlord (or Sublandlord's Lender, if required) has failed to cure such
default within the time period required under this Section 14(c), Subtenant may
make such payment or cure such performance or breach to the extent Subtenant
deems desirable and, in connection therewith, pay reasonable expenses and employ
counsel. All sums reasonably advanced by Subtenant on Sublandlord's behalf, any
delinquent sums owed by Sublandlord to Subtenant under any provision of this
Sublease, and all penalties, interest and other costs in connection therewith,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and collection costs, shall be due and
payable by Sublandlord on written demand, together with interest thereon from
the date of delinquency at the Permitted Rate.
15. Destruction.
(a) Restoration or Maintain in Safe Condition. If the Premises or
Subtenant Improvements is damaged by any peril after the Commencement Date of
this Sublease such that Subtenant cannot reasonably run its normal business
operations in the Premises, Subtenant shall either (i) restore the same, or,
(ii) as reasonably agreed upon by Sublandlord and Subtenant, either (A) remove
the Main Building and related leasehold improvements in accordance with the
terms and conditions of Paragraph 32 hereof, and all Subtenant Improvements
(except for those Subtenant Improvements described in subparagraphs (viii), (x)
and (xvi) of Section 2(a)), or (B)
-21-
<PAGE> 62
place the damaged improvements or Excluded Area, as the case may be, in safe
condition; provided, however, that Sublandlord's and Subtenant's election under
clause (B) of the preceding sentence shall not be permitted unless the Sublease
is terminated by Tenant pursuant to Subparagraph 15(b). If a Release of
Hazardous Materials placed, stored, transported or used by Subtenant and/or
Subtenant's Agents in, on or about the Property occurs as a result of such
peril, Subtenant shall investigate and clean up any contaminated soil and/or
groundwater contaminated by such Release to levels established by all
appropriate governmental agencies. All insurance proceeds available from the
property damage insurance carried by Subtenant pursuant to Paragraph 9(c)(v) of
this Sublease shall be paid to and become the property of Subtenant. If this
Sublease is not terminated by Subtenant as provided in Subparagraph 15(b), then
upon the issuance of all necessary governmental permits, Subtenant shall either
commence and diligently prosecute to completion the restoration of the damaged
Premises or Subtenant Improvements, to the extent then allowed by Law, to
substantially the same condition in which the damaged Premises or Subtenant
Improvements was immediately prior to such damage, or remove the rubble
generated from such damage, if any, from the Excluded Area and cause such
Excluded Area to be placed in a safe condition. In the event of such damage to
the Premises or the Subtenant Improvements, Sublandlord shall have no obligation
to rebuild or restore the same (unless such damage was caused by the acts,
negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord) and Sublandlord shall have no
obligation to rebuild or restore any trade fixtures and/or personal property
and/or alterations, additions or other improvements constructed or installed by
Subtenant in the Premises.
(b) Subtenant's Right to Terminate. If the Premises or Subtenant
Improvements, or any portion thereof, is damaged by any peril, then as soon as
reasonably practicable, Subtenant shall obtain and deliver to Sublandlord an
opinion of Subtenant's architect or construction consultant as to when the
restoration work may be completed. Subtenant shall have the option to terminate
this Sublease in the event any of the following occurs, which option may be
exercised only by delivery to Sublandlord of a written notice of election to
terminate within sixty (60) days after Subtenant receives from Sublandlord the
estimate of the time needed to complete such restoration:
(i) The Premises or Subtenant Improvements, or any portion
thereof, is damaged by any peril and, in the reasonable opinion of Subtenant's
architect or construction consultant, the restoration of the damaged
improvements cannot be substantially completed within one hundred twenty (120)
days of the peril causing such damage.
(ii) The Premises or Subtenant Improvements is damaged by any
peril within twelve (12) months of the last day of the Sublease Term, and, in
the reasonable opinion of Subtenant's architect or construction consultant, the
restoration work cannot be substantially completed within the earlier of (1)
ninety (90) days after the date of such damage, or (2) sixty (60) days prior to
the expiration of the Sublease Term.
(c) Abatement of Rent. In the event of damage to the Premises or
Subtenant improvements which does not result in the termination of this
Sublease, all Rentals shall be temporarily abated, but only to the extent such
amount is covered and paid for from the proceeds of business interruption
insurance carried by Subtenant, during the period of restoration, in proportion
to the degree to which Subtenant's use of the Premises and Subtenant
Improvements
-22-
<PAGE> 63
is impaired by such damage. All other Rentals due hereunder shall continue
unaffected during such period. Subtenant shall not be entitled to any
compensation from Sublandlord for loss of Subtenant's property or leasehold
improvements or loss to Subtenant's business or income caused by such damage or
restoration. Subtenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision
2, and Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the California Civil Code, and the
provisions of any similar law, hereinafter enacted.

comply with all Laws and with all requirements of any public body or officers
having jurisdiction over the Premises and with the requirements or regulations
of any Board of Fire Underwriters or insurance company insuring the Premises,
all at Subtenant's own expense without reimbursement from Sublandlord. Subtenant

-24-
<PAGE> 65
and/or to any renewal, modification, replacement, extension or expansion
hereafter or any consolidation or spreader thereof theretofore or hereinafter
made (collectively, a "Security Instrument"); provided, however, that
notwithstanding any provisions with respect to the subordination of this
Sublease to any Security Instrument which now exists or may hereafter be made or
to any renewal, modification, replacement or extension hereafter of any Security
Instrument, or to any consolidation or spreader of any Security Instrument,
heretofore or hereafter made, any such subordination is subject to the express
conditions that so long as this Sublease is in full force and effect and no
Event of Default by Subtenant exists under this Sublease, (a) Subtenant shall
not be evicted from the Premises or the Excluded Area, nor shall Subtenant's
continuing use and occupancy of the Premises or the Excluded Area be
interrupted, restricted or impaired, nor shall any of Subtenant's rights under
this Sublease be affected in any way by reason of any default under such
Security Instrument; and (b) Subtenant's leasehold estate under the Sublease
shall not be terminated or disturbed by reason of any default under such
Security Instrument which does not arise from a default by Subtenant hereunder,
and this Sublease and Subtenant's rights hereunder, including any rights of
offset, shall be recognized by the lender or Lessor.
Sublandlord agrees to procure, execute and deliver to Subtenant and
Subtenant agrees to execute the same, all concurrently with the execution of
this Sublease, the written agreement of Lessor and Agent, on behalf of each
Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit "C" attached hereto (the "SNDA").
In the event of a default under any Security Instrument, Subtenant shall become
a subtenant of and attorn, to the successor-in-interest to Sublandlord upon the
same terms and conditions contained in this Sublease and shall execute any
instrument reasonably required by Sublandlord's successor for that purpose
provided such successor in interest assumes the Sublandlord's obligations under
this Sublease accruing from and after the date such party becomes the successor
in interest. Subtenant shall also, upon written request of Sublandlord, execute
and deliver all instruments as may be reasonably required from time to time to
subordinate the rights of Subtenant under this Sublease to any underlying lease
or any deed of trust (provided that such instruments include the nondisturbance
and attornment provisions set forth above).
If the SNDA is not tendered to Subtenant, in addition to any other
rights and remedies available to Subtenant, Subtenant may, at its option, cancel
this Sublease on the date ten (10) days following such notice, and the Sublease
and the term and estate hereby granted shall then terminate at noon of such
cancellation date as if such cancellation date were the expiration date, unless
all of such agreements shall have been tendered meanwhile. Upon any such
cancellation, Sublandlord shall have no further obligation to Subtenant
hereunder except to return any moneys theretofore paid by Subtenant to
Sublandlord as Rent under this Sublease.

22. Attorneys' Fees. In the event either party shall bring any action or
legal proceeding for damages for any alleged breach of any provision of this
Sublease, to recover rent or possession of the Premises or the Excluded Area, to
terminate this Sublease, or to enforce, interpret, protect or establish any term
or covenant of this Sublease or right or remedy of either party, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover as a part of such action or proceeding,
reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs for appeal, as may be fixed by the court or jury. The term "prevailing
party" shall mean the party who received substantially the relief requested,
whether by settlement, dismissal, summary judgment, judgment, or otherwise.
23. Subleasing and Assignment.
(a) Sublandlord's Consent Required. Subtenant's interest in this
Sublease is not assignable, by operation of law or otherwise (except as may be
required for security purposes), nor shall Subtenant have the right to sublet
the Premises or the Excluded Area, transfer any interest of Subtenant therein or
permit any use of the Premises by another party, without the prior written
consent of Lessor and Sublandlord to each such assignment, subletting, transfer
or use, which consent Sublandlord may withhold in its sole discretion. A consent
to one assignment, subletting, occupancy or use by another party shall not be
deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupancy or
use by another party. Any assignment or
-26-
<PAGE> 67
subletting without such consent shall be void and shall, at the option of
Sublandlord, terminate this Sublease.
Lessor's or Sublandlord's waiver or consent to any assignment or
subletting hereunder shall not relieve Subtenant from any obligation under this
Sublease unless the consent shall so expressly provide in writing.
(b) Transfers to an Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Subtenant may, without Lessor's or Sublandlord's prior written consent, assign
its interest in the Sublease or sublet the Premises or Excluded Area, or a
portion thereof to (i) a subsidiary, affiliate, division or corporation
controlled by or under common control with Subtenant; provided that (a)
Sublandlord receives written notice of the name and address of the proposed
transferee, (b) the transferee assumes the obligations of the Subtenant under
this Sublease in a written instrument, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Sublandlord, which shall be delivered to Sublandlord as a
condition precedent to the effectiveness of such assignment; and (c) the
transfer or tenant remains liable as a primary obligor for the obligations of
Subtenant under this Sublease.
24. Successors. The covenants and agreements contained in this Sublease
shall be binding on the parties hereto and on their respective heirs, successors
and assigns (to the extent the Sublease is assignable).
25. Mortgagee Protection. In the event of any default on the part of
Sublandlord, Subtenant will give notice by registered or certified mail to any
beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee of a mortgage encumbering the
Premises, whose address shall have been previously furnished to Subtenant. So
long as such beneficiary or mortgagee is making reasonable efforts to cure the
default, including, but not limited to, obtaining possession of the Premises by
power of sale or judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effect
a cure, Subtenant shall not have the right to terminate this Sublease.
26. Estoppel Certificate. Subtenant agrees within fifteen (15) business
days following reasonable request by Sublandlord to execute and deliver to
Sublandlord any documents, including estoppel certificates presented to
Subtenant by Sublandlord, (1) certifying that this Sublease is unmodified and in
full force and effect and the date to which the rent and other charges are paid
in advance, if any, and (2) acknowledging that there are not, to Subtenant's
knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Sublandlord hereunder, or
specifying the defaults, if any, and (3) evidencing the status of the Sublease
as may be required either by a Lender making a loan or any other advance to
Sublandlord to be secured by a deed of trust or mortgage covering the Premises
or a purchaser of the Premises from Sublandlord.
27. Surrender of Sublease Not Merger. The voluntary or other surrender
of this Sublease by Subtenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work
a merger and shall, at the option of Sublandlord, terminate all or any existing
subleases or subtenants, or operate as an assignment to Sublandlord of any or
all such subleases or subtenants.
28. Waiver. The waiver by Sublandlord or Subtenant of any breach of any
term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of such term, covenant
-27-
<PAGE> 68
or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or
condition herein contained. Any waiver shall be in writing and signed by both
Sublandlord and Subtenant.
29. General.

Sublease, but this Sublease shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision had not been contained herein. This Sublease shall be
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
(d) Quiet Enjoyment. Upon Subtenant paying the rent for the
Premises (and the use of the Excluded Area) observing and performing all of the

shall be in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations.

31. Interest on Past Due Obligations. Any Monthly Installment of Rent
due from Subtenant, or any other sum due under this Sublease from Subtenant,
which is received by Sublandlord after the date ten (10) days following the date
written notice is given by Sublandlord to Subtenant that such sum has not been
paid when due, shall bear interest from said due date until paid, at an annual
rate equal to the greater of (the "Permitted Rate"): (1) ten percent (10%); or
(2) five percent (5%) plus the rate established by the Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco, as of the twenty-fifth (25th) day of the month immediately
preceding the due date, on advances to member banks under Sections 13 and 13(a)
of the Federal Reserve Act, as now in effect or hereafter from time to time
amended. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by
Subtenant. In addition, Subtenant shall pay all costs and attorneys' fees
incurred by Sublandlord in collection of such amounts.
32. Surrender of the Premises.
(a) Removal of Property. On the last day of the Sublease Term, or
on the sooner termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall surrender the
Premises and the Excluded Area to Sublandlord in their then existing condition
existing except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 32. Not later than the
expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease Term, Subtenant shall remove
all of Subtenant's personal property and trade fixtures (including, without
limitation, all machinery and equipment) from the Main Building, and all
property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned by Subtenant and may be
removed by Sublandlord at Subtenant's sole cost and expense. Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, at the expiration or earlier termination of the
Sublease Term, Subtenant shall not be obligated to remove from the Excluded Area
any "Remediation Equipment" as such term is defined in that certain Grant of
Easements, Restriction and Indemnity Agreement dated December 24, 1997, executed
by Raytheon Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as grantor, and
Raytheon Company, as grantee, and recorded in the Official Records of Santa
Clara County on December 30, 1997, as Document No.: 13994862 (the "Easements
Agreement").
(b) Demolition of Main Building and Related Improvements.
(i) The parties hereto agree that Subtenant shall (A)
complete the demolition of the Main Building and related structures and
improvements including, without limitation, the Subtenant Improvements (except
for those items set forth in subparagraphs (viii), (x) and (xvi) of Paragraph
2(a) of this Sublease) on the Excluded Area and the Main Building foundation,
(B) complete, at Subtenant's cost, the remediation of any contaminated soil
underlying the Main Building or related improvements (as further discussed in
Paragraph 32(d) below) either (i) to levels at or below the cleanup level or
standards established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
Record of Decision for the Raytheon facility, or (ii) to levels acceptable to
the environmental agency or agencies having jurisdiction over such cleanup or
remediation (such levels described in clauses (i) or (ii) above being referred
to hereinafter as the "Soil Remediation Standard") and (C) obtain, at
Subtenant's cost, an "environmental closure" pertaining to the operations of
Subtenant within the Main Building and related facilities, as required by all
applicable governmental agencies having jurisdiction over such closure (the
items set forth in subparagraphs (A), (B) and (C) of this subparagraph are
collectively referred to as the "Demolition") on or before January 1, 2001 (such
date is referred to herein as the "Departure Deadline"), without any liability
of Sublandlord or Lessor, as the case may be, for overtime or
-29-
<PAGE> 70
additional labor resulting from Subtenant's failure, if applicable, to correctly
estimate the time necessary for completion of the Demolition. For purposes of
this Paragraph 32(b), Subtenant shall be deemed to have completed the soil
contamination remediation referred to above, if applicable, at such time as (Y)
Subtenant's environmental consultant overseeing such remediation confirms or
states in writing that soil contamination under the Main Building, if any, has
been remediated to levels that meet the Soil Remediation Standard, or (Z)
Subtenant causes, at Subtenant's cost, an environmental assessment of the soil
under the demolished Main Building to be performed by an environmental
consultant and such assessment indicates that the soil under the demolished Main
Building and related improvements does not contain Hazardous Materials in
violation of the Soil Remediation Standard. The environmental consultant
referred to in the preceding sentence shall be selected by Subtenant and
approved by Sublandlord and Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Sublandlord and Lessor shall approve or disapprove of the
environmental consultant selected by Subtenant within five (5) days of receipt
of such contractor's identity as well as written information about the
contractor's experience and credentials. If Sublandlord or Lessor fail to
disapprove such contractor within such five (5) day period, Sublandlord and
Lessor shall be deemed to have approved such contractor. Any report prepared by
such contractor shall be addressed to the Financing Parties. Alternatively, such
contractor shall provide the Financing Parties with a signed statement that they
may rely on such report.
(ii) Subtenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
complete the Demolition in an expeditious manner following the expiration or
earlier termination of the Sublease Term in order to permit Sublandlord or
Lessor, as the case may be, to commence development of the Excluded Area.
Sublandlord, in its own capacity or as construction agent of Lessor, agrees to
reasonably cooperate with Subtenant in Subtenant's efforts to cause the
applicable governmental agency or agencies to respond in a timely manner to
Subtenant's plan for removal of any contaminated soil from under the Main
Building or the related improvements. Sublandlord and Lessor agree to reasonably
cooperate with Subtenant with regard to the Demolition and not to unreasonably
interfere with, delay or impair Subtenant's efforts to complete the Demolition
in an expeditious manner. If, however, Subtenant fails to complete the
Demolition on or before the Departure Deadline, then Subtenant shall pay to
Sublandlord, as Sublandlord's sole and exclusive remedy for such delay in the
completion of the Demolition, liquidated damages in a per day amount equal to
the Monthly Installment of rent paid by Subtenant for the month immediately
preceding the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease Term divided by
thirty (30) for each day from and after the Departure Deadline until the
Demolition is completed. Nothing within the preceding sentence shall prelude
Sublandlord or Lessor from exercising any rights or remedies against Subtenant
under the Purchase Agreement (to the extent such remedies survive the close of
escrow thereunder) or that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement by and
between Sublandlord and Subtenant (the "Indemnity Agreement").
(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph
32(b)(ii) above, if Subtenant fails to complete the Demolition on or before the
Departure Deadline due to Subtenant's failure to use commercially reasonable
efforts to complete the Demolition in an expeditious manner, Subtenant shall pay
Sublandlord, as Sublandlord's sole and exclusive remedy for Subtenant's failure
to complete the Demolition on or before the Departure Deadline,
-30-
<PAGE> 71
liquidated damages in the amount of Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500)
per day for each day that Subtenant fails to complete the Demolition by or after
the Departure Deadline due to Subtenant's breach of its obligation under the
first sentence of subparagraph 32(b)(ii). Nothing within the preceding sentence
shall preclude Sublandlord from exercising any remedies against Subtenant under
the Purchase Agreement (to the extent such remedies survive the close of escrow
thereunder) or the Indemnity Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant
shall only be obligated to pay liquidated damages in the amount set forth in
this subparagraph 32(b)(iii) (instead of the amount set forth in subparagraph
32(b)(ii) above) for each day after the Departure Deadline that the Demolition
has not been completed and Sublandlord or Lessor, as the case may be, is ready
to commence grading or the construction of improvements on the Excluded Area or
any portion thereof; provided, however, that if the condition of the Excluded
Area prevents or delays the Sublandlord's ability to commence grading or
construction thereon, the condition set forth in this sentence shall not apply.
(iv) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
Sublandlord's carrying costs, lost opportunity costs and other expenses incurred
by Sublandlord as a result of not having full and unrestricted access to the
Excluded Area by the Departure Deadline are impracticable or extremely difficult
to ascertain. The parties hereto agree that the amounts of liquidated damages
set forth in subparagraph 32(b)(ii) and 32(b)(iii) are reasonable estimates of
the damages that will be incurred by Sublandlord in the event Subtenant is not
able to complete the Demolition by the Departure Deadline. By executing this
paragraph below, the parties hereto agree to the provisions of these liquidated
damages provisions.
Subtenant:_______________ Sublandlord:________________________
(c) Remediation of Contaminated Soil. If contaminated soil is
discovered under the approximately 119,000 square foot Main Building and/or
related improvements following the demolition of the same by Subtenant, then
such contaminated soil shall not be treated or remediated by Subtenant on the
Excluded Area after the Departure Deadline. If Subtenant has not disposed of or
remediated any such contaminated soil underlying the Main Building and/or
related improvements by the Departure Deadline, then Subtenant agrees to dispose
or treat, or cause to be disposed or treated, such soil contamination off-site
at a registered hazardous waste disposal site (if legally required) or off-site
as required by applicable environmental Laws, with Subtenant or Raytheon Company
named on all permits and manifests with respect to such contaminated soil as the
party responsible for such disposal or treatment (i.e., the generator).
Sublandlord acknowledges and agrees that if contaminated soil is discovered
under the Main Building and/or related improvements following the demolition of
such Main Building and related improvements, and if Subtenant reasonably
believes that Raytheon Company is responsible for the clean up or remediation.
of such contaminated soil (or for the cost of clean up or remediation), then
Subtenant will promptly notify Raytheon Company of such contamination and
request that Raytheon Company undertake the disposal or treatment of such
contaminated soil as provided above. Subtenant shall have no liability to
Sublandlord or Lessor for the clean up or remediation of such contaminated soil
if Raytheon Company accepts responsibility for the clean up or remediation of
such contaminated soil in accordance with the terms set forth above and disposes
of or treats such contamination such that it is removed or remediated in
accordance with applicable environmental laws and regulations by the Departure
-31-
<PAGE> 72
Deadline. The parties agree that any contaminated soil discovered under the Main
Building or the related improvements shall be remediated or treated by
Subtenant, at Subtenant's sole cost (except as set forth in the preceding
sentence), to levels that meet the Soils Remediation Standard. Subtenant shall
not be obligated to remove any contaminated soil or other Hazardous Materials
discovered under the Main Building or related improvements (or on or under the
Excluded Area) if the same is remediated or treated to levels that meet the Soil
Remediation Standard.
(d) Costs of Demolition.
(i) Prior to vacating the Main Building (which shall occur
not later than December 31, 2000), Subtenant shall contract with a licensed
contractor to demolish, at Lessor's cost (to the extent the funding requirements
set forth in that certain Participation Agreement dated April __, 1999 among
Lessor, Sublandlord and others (the "Participation Agreement") and that certain
Agency Agreement dated April __, 1999 between Lessor and Sublandlord (the
"Agency Agreement") are satisfied), the Main Building (and certain related
structures and improvements located on the Excluded Area), including, without
limitation, the foundation of the Main Building. If the funding requirements set
forth in the Participation Agreement and the Agency Agreement are not satisfied,
the items identified in the preceding sentence as being at Lessor's costs shall
be at Sublandlord's cost. Subtenant shall have the right to select the
contractor to perform such demolition work. The contractor shall be selected
through a bid process in which Subtenant shall obtain bids from not less than
three licensed contractors selected by Subtenant and approved by Sublandlord, as
Lessor's agent, which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Based on
such bids and any other information that the Subtenant may reasonably consider,
Subtenant shall select the contractor to perform the demolition and such
contractor selected by Subtenant shall be subject to the approval of Sublandlord
and Lessor (which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Subtenant's
contract with such contractor shall contain terms that are commercially
reasonable for such a contract. Sublandlord and Lessor shall provide the
approvals or disapprovals set forth in this subparagraph within five (5) days of
receipt of the information about the contractors selected by Subtenant to make
bids or the bids and the identity of the contractor selected by Subtenant to
perform the work. If Sublandlord or Lessor fails to disapprove such
contractor(s) within such five (5) day period, Sublandlord and Lessor shall be
deemed to have approved such contractor(s). If Sublandlord or Lessor reasonably
disapproves any bidders or contractor selected by Subtenant, then, concurrently
with notifying Subtenant of its disapproval, Sublandlord or lessor, as the case
may be, shall provide Subtenant in writing with the name, address and telephone
number of a replacement bidder or contractor, as the case may be, acceptable to
Sublandlord and Lessor.
(ii) Lessor shall pay (to the extent the funding
requirements set forth in the Participation Agreement and the Agency Agreement
are satisfied) one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of demolishing and
removing from the Property the Main Building and related structures and
improvements located on the Excluded Area, including the foundation of the Main
Building (and the cost of removing such demolished Main Building, foundations,
structures and improvements from the Property). If the funding requirements set
forth in the Participation Agreement and the Agency Agreement are not satisfied,
the items identified in the preceding sentence as being paid by Lessor shall be
paid by Sublandlord, except as set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Subtenant shall be responsible for (A) the cost of
-32-
<PAGE> 73
removal of any Hazardous Materials, including asbestos, located within the Main
Building, (B) the cost of removal (or remediation as provided above) in
compliance with applicable Laws of any asbestos or other Hazardous Materials
located under the Main Building to levels that meet the Soils Remediation
Standard (except Subtenant shall not be responsible hereunder for removal of any
groundwater contamination under the Main Building) and (C) the cost of
demolishing/removing the improvements constructed after the Commencement Date of
this Sublease by or on behalf of Subtenant identified in Paragraph 13(a) above.
The cost to be borne by Lessor (the "Cost to Lessor") (to the extent the funding
requirements set forth in the Participation Agreement and the Agency Agreement
are satisfied) for demolishing the Main Building and related structures and
improvements on the Excluded Area shall be net of the cost of health and safety
plans and procedures incurred by Subtenant and/or Subtenant's affiliates,
agents, employees or contractors for demolition and removal of the improvements,
and the cost of protective measures for construction workers incurred by
Subtenant and/or Subtenant's affiliates, agents, employees or contractors
relating to any Hazardous Materials within or under the Main Building, which
shall be at Subtenant's (or Raytheon's) cost. If the funding requirements set
forth in the Participation Agreement and the Agency Agreement are not satisfied,
the items identified in the preceding sentence as being at Lessor's costs shall
be at Sublandlord's cost. Except as provided in this Paragraph 32(d)(ii), all
costs of Demolition shall be borne by Subtenant.
(iii) Upon Sublandlord's selection of a contractor,
Sublandlord shall cause Lessor (to the extent the funding requirements set forth
in the Participation Agreement and the Agency Agreement are satisfied) to
deposit into an interest bearing escrow account as quickly as practicable under
the Financing Documents, but in no event more than forty (40) days after
Sublandlord's approval of the contractor as set forth in subparagraph 32(d)(ii)
above, an amount equal to such contractor's estimated Cost to Lessor. If
Sublandlord or Lessor fails to cause such amount to be deposited into the escrow
account as provided herein, Subtenant shall not be required to demolish the Main
Building and related improvements or remediate any soil contamination under the
Main Building, if any, or remove any asbestos from the Main Building or any of
the related improvements. Upon Subtenant's submission to the escrow holder of
reasonably detailed documentation with respect to costs actually incurred with
respect to the Demolition which are Costs to Lessor, the escrow holder shall
promptly disburse from the escrow account to Subtenant or Subtenant's designees
funds sufficient to pay such Costs to Lessor. In the event the total Costs to
Lessor are less than the amount held in escrow, all remaining amounts held in
the escrow account shall be returned to Sublandlord, as agent for Lessor. In the
event the total Costs to Lessor exceed the amount held in escrow, Lessor shall
promptly reimburse Subtenant (to the extent the funding requirements set forth
in the Participation Agreement and the Agency Agreement are satisfied) such
additional costs. If the funding requirements set forth in the Participation
Agreement and the Agency Agreement are not satisfied, the items identified in
the preceding sentence as being reimbursed by Lessor shall be reimbursed by
Sublandlord.
(iv) The parties hereto agree that Subtenant or Raytheon
Company shall be identified as the party responsible for the proper disposal of
any Hazardous Materials within the Main Building (e.g., asbestos) or
contaminated soil to be removed from the Excluded Area as part of the demolition
and removal obligations referred to in this paragraph, and in the
-33-
<PAGE> 74
event Subtenant or Raytheon Company fails to timely and completely perform such
asbestos and contaminated soil removal or remediation as provided above,
Sublandlord, in addition to Sublandlord's other remedies under this Sublease,
may, as Lessor's agent, elect to do so (with Subtenant named on all permits and
manifests relating to such asbestos and contaminated soil removal) and, in such
event, Subtenant shall reimburse, or cause Raytheon Company to reimburse, Lessor
for its reasonable costs incurred in removing such asbestos and contaminated
soil from or under the Main Building and related structures as provided above.
Such reimbursement shall be required to be made within thirty (30) days
following receipt of a written notice or statement setting forth in reasonable
detail such costs to be reimbursed.
(e) Relocation of Remediation Well Sites and Equipment. Subtenant
agrees to reasonably cooperate with Sublandlord, as Lessor's agent, promptly to
engineer and relocate, on Sublandlord's reasonable request and at Subtenant's
cost, any existing soil or water remediation well sites and equipment (as
further set forth in Section 9.1(g) of the Purchase Agreement) which Subtenant
is not required to remove pursuant to Paragraph 32 herein. Sublandlord agrees to
reasonably cooperate with Subtenant with respect to the engineering and
relocation of such items. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation,
the prompt delivery to Subtenant of any development plans for the Property and
Sublandlord's participation in good faith and timely discussions with Subtenant
regarding the relocation of such items.
(f) Survival. The obligations of Lessor, Subtenant and Sublandlord
under this Paragraph 32 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Sublease.
33. Authority. The undersigned parties hereby warrant that they have
proper authority and are empowered to execute this Sublease on behalf of
Sublandlord and Subtenant, respectively.
34. Brokers. Sublandlord and Subtenant each represent and warrant to the
other that it has not dealt with any broker respecting this transaction other
than Cornish & Carey Commercial ("CRC"); however, no commission shall be owing
to C&C based on the parties hereto entering into this Sublease. Each party
hereto agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against damages,
losses, liabilities, claims, demands, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by
the other in the event of any breach by such party of any representation,
warranty or covenant set forth in this Paragraph 34.
35. Consent. Wherever in this Sublease it is provided that either party
shall not unreasonably withhold consent or approval, such consent or approval
(collectively referred to as "consent") shall also not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. If a party considers that the other party has
unreasonably withheld or delayed a consent, it shall so notify the other party
within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of denial of the requested consent
or, in case notice of denial is not received, within twenty (20) days after
giving the first-mentioned notice, may submit the question of whether the
withholding or delaying of such consent is unreasonable to determination by
arbitration.
36. Right of Sublandlord to Perform. Except as provided otherwise
herein, all covenants and agreements to be performed by Subtenant under this
Sublease shall be performed at Subtenant's sole cost and expense and without any
abatement of rent or right of set-off. If
-34-
<PAGE> 75
Subtenant fails to pay any sum of money, other than rent, or fails to perform
any other act on its part to be performed under this Sublease, and the failure
continues beyond any applicable grace or cure period set forth herein then in
addition to any other available remedies, Sublandlord may, at its election make
the payment or perform the other act on Subtenant's part. Sublandlord's election
to make the payment or perform the act on Subtenant's part shall not give rise
to any responsibility of Sublandlord to continue making the same or similar
payments or performing the same or similar acts. Subtenant shall, promptly upon
demand by Sublandlord, reimburse Sublandlord for all reasonable sums paid by
Sublandlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest at the
Permitted Rate or two percent (2%) above the prime rate announced by Bank of
America from time to time, whichever is greater from the date of payment by
Sublandlord. Sublandlord shall have the same rights and remedies if Subtenant
fails to pay those amounts as Sublandlord would have in the event of a default
by Subtenant in the payment of rent. Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with
written notice and the appropriate cure period provided in the Lease before
performing any act on behalf of Subtenant and will provide Subtenant with
written request for any reimbursement payable hereunder.
37. Expenses and Legal Fees. All sums reasonably incurred by Sublandlord
in connection with any Event of Default by Subtenant under this Sublease or
holding over of possession by Subtenant after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Sublease, including without limitation all reasonable costs,
expenses and reasonable accountants, appraisers, attorneys and other
professional fees, and any collection agency or other collection charges, shall
be due and payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord on demand, and shall bear
interest at the Permitted Rate. Should either Sublandlord or Subtenant bring any
action in connection with this Sublease, the prevailing party shall be entitled
to recover as a part of the action its reasonable attorneys' fees, and all other
costs. The prevailing party for the purpose of this paragraph shall be
determined by the trier of the facts.
38. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. SUBLANDLORD AND SUBTENANT EACH ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT IS AWARE OF AND HAS HAD THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE WITH RESPECT
TO ITS RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY, AND EACH PARTY DOES HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND
KNOWINGLY WAIVE AND RELEASE ALL SUCH RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER
(AND/OR AGAINST ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SUBSIDIARY OR
AFFILIATED ENTITIES) ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, TENANT'S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, AND/OR ANY
CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE.
39. Satisfaction of Judgement. The obligations of Sublandlord and
Subtenant do not constitute the personal obligations of the directors, officers
or shareholders of Sublandlord or its constituent partners. Should Subtenant
recover a money judgment against Sublandlord, such judgment shall be satisfied
only out of the proceeds of sale received upon execution of such judgment and

D. Raytheon Company and Raytheon Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, the predecessor of Fairchild, entered into a Grant of Easements,

Pursuant to the 1997 Raytheon Agreement, as well as the terms of the acquisition
of Raytheon Semiconductor by Fairchild, Raytheon Company has agreed to indemnify
and hold harmless Fairchild from any claims or liabilities related to the
Contamination which first occurred, existed or arose prior to December 24, 1997.
E. Fairchild and Veritas (or its designee) have entered into that certain
Sublease Agreement dated ______________, 1999 (the "Sublease"), pursuant to
which Veritas (or its designee) has agreed to sublease to Fairchild that certain
portion of the Property described therein.
For good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
Agreement
1. Indemnification. It is the intent of the parties hereto that Veritas
not be responsible or liable for any Contamination or the existence of any
hazardous or toxic substances which were first released, discharged or diagnosed
on, in, under or at the Property, or which otherwise existed thereon, therein or
thereunder, prior to the close of escrow under the Purchase Agreement (unless
such environmental condition is exacerbated by the negligent acts or omissions
or willful misconduct of Veritas or any of its agents, employees, contractors,
subcontractors, successors, assigns or other authorized representatives,
provided that construction or other development activities by Veritas on the
Property that are performed in accordance with due care shall not be considered
"exacerbation" of any pre-existing condition). In addition to Fairchild's
remediation and indemnification obligations pursuant to the Sublease, which
Fairchild covenants and agrees to abide by, Fairchild shall, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, indemnify, hold harmless, and defend
(with counsel selected by Fairchild) Veritas, and its successors and assigns,
and any entity holding legal title to the Property or improvements thereon
("Owner Entities"), and any entity providing financing to any Owner Entity
secured by a mortgage or deed of trust on the Property, any entity participating
in any such financing, any entity holding any beneficial interest in any trust
for which the holder of legal title to the Property serves as trustee, and any
entity acting as agent for any of the foregoing entities
-2-
<PAGE> 91
and any successor or assign of any of the foregoing entities (collectively, the
"Financing Parties"), from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities,
costs (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys
and expert consultants, investigation and remedial costs), fines, judgments,
penalties, or expenses asserted against or incurred or suffered by any Owner
Entities arising out of or related to (i) the Contamination first occurring
before the close of escrow under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the release or
discharge of hazardous or toxic materials or wastes in, on, under or from the
Property or improvements located thereon first occurring after the date of this
Agreement to the extent such release or discharge is caused as a result of the
activities of Fairchild in its use, occupancy or operation of the Property
(including, without limitation, any exacerbation by Fairchild of the
pre-existing Contamination in, on, under or about the Property which adversely
affects or eliminates Raytheon Company's indemnity obligations under the 1997
Raytheon Agreement (and then such indemnity, defense and hold harmless
obligation of Fairchild hereunder shall apply only to the extent of such
exacerbation of such pre-existing Contamination), and (iii) the cost or expense
of any remediation action covered by the 1997 Raytheon Agreement if such cost or
expense is incurred by Veritas as a result of Fairchild's breach of such 1997
Raytheon Agreement and such breach is not caused, or contributed to, by Veritas,
any other Owner Entity or any Financing Party or any of their respective agents,
employees, contractors, subcontractors or other authorized representatives
(collectively, "Liabilities"); provided, however, Fairchild shall have no
obligation to clean up or remediate any Contamination existing on, in or under
the Property as of the close of escrow under the Purchase Agreement unless
required to do so by a governmental agency, board or authority having
jurisdiction over such clean up or remediation or except as required under the
Sublease. The foregoing indemnity, defense and hold harmless obligation of
Fairchild shall not apply to the extent any Liability arises out of or results
from (i) hazardous or toxic materials or wastes which are released, discharged,
brought upon, or are permitted or suffered to be brought upon, the Property by
any person or persons other than Fairchild or its agents, employees, contractors
or subcontractors after the close of escrow under the Purchase Agreement and are
first released or discharged into the environment on, in, under or from the
Property after such close of escrow under the Purchase Agreement by a person or
persons other than Fairchild, or its agents, employees, contractors, and
subcontractors, or (ii) hazardous or toxic materials or wastes in, on, under,
from, or from the Property to the extent such are exacerbated by the negligent
acts or omissions or willful misconduct of Veritas, any other Owner Entities,
any Financing Parties or any other third party (other than any agents,
employees, contractors or subcontractors of Fairchild) or any of their
respective agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors, successors, assigns
or other authorized representatives following the close of escrow under the
Purchase Agreement, provided that construction or other development activities
by Veritas on the Property that are performed in accordance with due care shall
not be considered "exacerbation" of any pre-existing condition.
In no event shall Fairchild have any liability to Veritas, any Owner
Entities or any Financing Parties or their respective successors and assigns
(collectively, "Indemnitees") for any consequential damages, loss of profits,
perceived loss of profits, reduction in value or perceived loss of value of the
Property, inability to sell, Sublease or finance the Property or any part
thereof or inability to use the Property for any purposes due to (i) the mere
existence of the Contamination, (ii) any remedial work or clean up obligation
now or hereafter imposed on the Property by
-3-
<PAGE> 92
any environmental agency having jurisdiction over the clean up or remediation of
the Property, or (iii) any of the matters subject to the foregoing indemnity
obligation of Fairchild. In addition, in no event (other than as provided in the
Sublease or as provided in the immediately following sentence) shall Fairchild
be liable to Veritas or any other Indemnitees or any party claiming by or
through any Indemnitees for any claim, loss, cost, damage or expense, including
consequential damages, incurred by any Indemnitee or such party as a result of
construction delays caused by the performance of any remedial or clean up work
required to satisfy Fairchild's obligations under this Agreement. The preceding
sentence notwithstanding, Fairchild shall indemnify and hold harmless Veritas
from and against any and all losses caused by any interruption of the initial
construction of improvements on the Property, or any portion thereof, by Veritas
caused by any Contamination that is not known by Veritas to exist in, on or
under the Property or that has not been disclosed to Veritas in any
environmental reports or studies delivered or made available to Veritas prior to
or as of the close of escrow under the Purchase Agreement, but such
indemnification and hold harmless obligation under this sentence shall apply
only to the extent that such newly discovered Contamination poses a significant
health or safety risk to construction workers or, based on sound engineering and
construction practices, initial construction of improvements on the Property by
Veritas cannot be completed until such newly discovered Contamination is
remediated or removed from the Property. Anything in this paragraph above the
contrary notwithstanding, Fairchild also shall indemnify and hold harmless
Veritas from and against any and all losses caused by any interruption of
business conducted on the Property by Veritas caused by any Contamination that
is not known by Veritas to exist in, on or under the Property or that has not
been disclosed to Veritas in any environmental reports or studies delivered or
made available to Veritas prior to or as of the close of escrow under the
Purchase Agreement, but such indemnification and hold harmless obligation under
this sentence shall apply only to the extent that Veritas is required by any
governmental agency having jurisdiction to vacate improvements constructed the
Property to allow clean up or remediation of such newly discovered Contamination
to be commenced and completed. The benefits of the two (2) immediately preceding
sentences shall be personal to Veritas and its Financing Parties, shall not run
with the Property and shall not be enforceable against Fairchild by any person
or entity other than Veritas or its Financing Parties.
2. Release. Except for the obligations of Fairchild set forth in this
Agreement, in the Sublease or in the Purchase Agreement (to the extent such
obligations survive the close of escrow thereunder), by taking title to the
Property, Veritas (and all Owner Entities and Financing Parties) shall be deemed
to have waived, for itself, and its successors and assigns, any and all claims
it may have against Fairchild with respect to the existence of the
Contamination, including any and all claims under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C.
Section 9601, et. seq., as amended, any other federal, state, or local law,
rule, ordinance, or regulation pursuant to which Veritas may have a claim or
cause of action against Fairchild due to the presence of the Contamination.
Veritas expressly waives the benefits of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the
State of California, which provides as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing
-4-
<PAGE> 93
the release, which, if known by him, must have materially affected
his settlement with the debtor.
The foregoing release expressly excludes any claims Veritas may have against
Fairchild for breach by Fairchild of its obligations under this Agreement or the
Sublease or for breach by Fairchild of its obligations under the Purchase
Agreement that expressly survive the close of escrow thereunder.
3. Remediation. Solely with respect to any Contamination existing on, in
or under the Property as of the close of escrow under the Purchase Agreement
(and which is not exacerbated (as described above) by any activities or
negligent omissions of Veritas (or its assignee or affiliate) or any future
Owner Entities or any third party other than Fairchild or any of Fairchild's
agents, employees, contractors or subcontractors, provided that construction or
other development activities by Veritas on the Property that are performed in
accordance with due care shall not be considered "exacerbation" of any
pre-existing Contamination), Fairchild shall have the obligation and
responsibility to either perform (at Fairchild's cost) or to cause Raytheon
Company to perform (at Raytheon's cost) all investigation, monitoring,
remediation, cleanup, removal, or other environmental response action with
respect to the Contamination existing on or beneath the Property or in any
building or improvement located on the Property as of the date of this Agreement
which currently is or may in the future be required of Raytheon Company,
Fairchild or of or any other Owner Entity by any federal, state, or local
agency, court, or tribunal, with Fairchild or Raytheon Company to be named on
all permits and manifests for any materials removed from the Property pursuant
to such remediation or clean up (collectively, "Remedial Action"). All Remedial
Action shall be performed on the Property in a good, safe, professional, and
workmanlike manner, in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances and
regulations and after obtaining all requisite permits and licenses, and in a
manner which does not interfere unreasonably with any Owner Entity's use of the
property. Fairchild shall, following completion of such Remedial Action, restore
or cause to be restored the Property as close as practicable to the condition in
which it existed prior to the performance of the Remedial Action, Nothing in
this Paragraph 3 above shall constitute a waiver or release of Fairchild's
rights or remedies available to it under the 1997 Raytheon Agreement or any
other agreement pursuant to which Fairchild acquired Raytheon Semiconductor,
Inc.
if any Contamination is discovered on or under the Property, or any
portion thereof, following the date hereof and such Contamination is covered by
the 1997 Raytheon Agreement, then, Fairchild shall have no liability to Veritas
or any Owner Entity under paragraph 1 or 2 of this Agreement so long as Raytheon
Company is performing its obligations under the 1997 Raytheon Agreement with
respect to such discovered Contamination.
Veritas and all Owner Entities shall provide Fairchild and/or Raytheon
Company and their consultants and contractors reasonable access to the Property
to maintain and operate all remedial systems. Maintenance and operation of such
remedial systems shall not unreasonably interfere with the use and operation of
the Property by Veritas or any Owner Entity where reasonableness is determined
by the conduct of a reasonable, prudent person responsible for both the
operations of the business and the conduct of the remedial activities; provided,
however, in
-5-
<PAGE> 94
no event shall the maintenance and operation of such remedial systems require
Veritas or any Owner Entity to demolish, modify or relocate any buildings,
structures, or paved areas or other improvements to the Property constructed or
placed by Veritas or a successor Owner Entity on the Property (collectively,
"Future Improvements") so long as (i) such Future Improvements are not initially
placed or constructed on or over an area where remedial systems are then
located, and (ii) such Future Improvements are not constructed or placed within
that portion of the Property lying within the area which is of a uniform
distance of fifty (50) feet laterally from and along the top of the subsurface
bentonite slurry wall located around the approximate perimeter of the Property
(unless steps are taken at Veritas' or such successor Owner Entity's expense,
subject to Fairchild's reasonable approval, to protect the slurry wall). If any
additional groundwater or extraction wells, related equipment or other
remediation equipment are required by any environmental agency or agencies
having jurisdiction over the clean up or remediation of the Property, Fairchild
shall consult and cooperate with Veritas to locate such facilities in a location
on the Property that does not unreasonably interfere with the use of the
Property by Veritas while at the same time satisfying the requirements of the
environmental agency imposing such requirements.
Veritas and all Owner Entities agree not to take any action that would
result in a breach or default of any of the Grantee's obligations under the 1997
Raytheon Agreement, provided that such actions shall not include Veritas'
reasonable activities relating to its development of the Property as a corporate
campus facility. Veritas and the Owner Entities agree to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless Fairchild and its agents, employees, directors, officers,
shareholders, affiliates, successors and assigns, from and against any and all
damages, losses, claims, liabilities, actions, causes of action, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs) arising out
of or related to any breach or default by Veritas or any of the Owner Entities
of any of the Grantee's obligations under the 1997 Raytheon Agreement.
4. Notice of Intent to Commence Remedial Work. So long as Fairchild and
Raytheon Company are in compliance with all remedial work obligations imposed by
the environmental agency or agencies having jurisdiction over the Property with
respect to the Contamination, Veritas covenants not to voluntarily undertake any
remedial work with respect to such Contamination. If the applicable

GRANT OF EASEMENTS, RESTRICTION AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
THIS GRANT OF EASEMENTS, RESTRICTION AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT ("Agreement")
is made this 24th day of December 1997 by and between Raytheon Semiconductor,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, as grantor ("Grantor") and RAYTHEON COMPANY, a
Delaware corporation ("Grantee"), as grantee.
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grantee contemporaneously with the
recordation of this Agreement is conveying to Grantor that certain real property
consisting of land and the improvements thereon, located in the City of Mountain
View, County of Santa Clara, State of California, commonly known as Assessor's
Parcel Number 160-53-003, as more particularly described in Exhibit A attached
hereto (the "Grantor Property"); and
WHEREAS, due to the alleged presence of certain conditions subject to
regulation or enforcement under state or federal laws such conditions
hereinafter collectively referred to as "Contamination)" Grantee has conducted
certain investigation, testing, remediation activities, and other response
actions ("Remedial Activities") on certain portions of the Grantor Property,
some of which activity is required by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency ("EPA"); and
WHEREAS, Grantor has agreed to grant certain easements to Grantee with
respect to the Grantor Property for the purpose of permitting Grantee to
continue to conduct such Remedial Activities; and
WHEREAS, Grantor has further agreed to restrict the use of certain portions
of the Grantor Property as set forth herein in order to avoid a potentially
unsafe condition due to the potential for subsidence in soils along the
northerly border of the Grantor Property.
1
<PAGE> 102
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, including the
conveyance by Grantee to Grantor of the Grantor Property, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, Grantee and Grantor hereby agree as follows:
1. Grant of Easements. Grantor hereby grants and conveys to Grantee, and
its successors and assigns, and their respective agents, consultants,
contractors and invitees involved in the Remedial Activities (collectively
"Agents"), and the EPA, the following irrevocable easements, which shall be
subject to the limitations on use set forth in Paragraph 2:
a. an exclusive easement in, over and under the Grantor Property for
the drilling, installation, location, operation, repair and replacement of ????
and extraction wells for both groundwater and soil vapor extraction, and related
treatment and support systems, utilities, piping, equipment devices, fences,
???? walls and structure ("Remediation Equipment"), excluding the surface and
above surface portions thereof on which are located buildings and other
structures (other than the existing tunnel underlying 350 Ellis Street
Building), the locations of which excluded portions are set forth in Exhibit B
attached hereto ("Excluded Area"), provided that (i) each access does not
unreasonably interfere with Grantor's use of the Property, and (ii) if requested
by Grantor, the Remediation Equipment shall be subject to alteration,
modification or relocation at the expense of Grantor, subject to governmental
approval;
b. a non-exclusive easement for pedestrian and vehicular ingress and
egress as reasonably required in connection with easements granted in
subparagraphs a, c, and d of this Paragraph 1, to and over those areas of the
Grantor Property as are generally used for such purpose, provided such access
does not unreasonably interfere with Grantor's use of the Property;
c. an exclusive easement for the installation, location, operation,
repair and replacement of a pipeline in, under and over that area of the Grantor
Property depicted in Exhibit ? attached hereto for purposes of transmission of
ground water, provided that, if requested by Grantor, such pipeline and such
easement shall be subject to movement or relocation at the expense of Grantor,
subject to governmental approval, but no such movement or relocation shall
impair the ability of such pipeline to connect with the continuation of such
pipeline within the existing easement of Grantee on property contiguous with and
southerly of the Grantor Property; and
d. an exclusive easement in and over the Grantor Property, or any
portion thereof, excluding the Excluded Area, for the purpose of implementing
and effectuating any additional testing or remediation work required by any
governmental agency having jurisdiction, provided that, if requested by Grantor,
such work and easement shall be subject to movement or relocation at Grantor's
expense, subject to governmental approval.
2
<PAGE> 103
2. Exercise
a. Grantee shall exercise its rights under Paragraph 1 in a manner
that (i) does not increasingly interfere with the use and occupancy of the
Grantor Property by Grantor or its tenants where reasonableness is determined by
the conduct of a reasonable, prudent person responsible for both the operations
of the [ILLEGIBLE] and the conduct of the Remedial Activities, and (ii) complies
with the participations of governmental authority. Grantor shall obtain the
written consent of Grantee, which shall not be [ILLEGIBLE] delayed or withheld,
prior to making any improvements or [ILLEGIBLE] to the Grantor Property that
should adversely affect any Remedial Activities or Remediation Equipment. Prior
to entry onto the Grantor Property, Grantor shall provide the then owner
reasonable written notice of its proposed entry prior to commencement of any
work, and Grantee agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Grantor's and its
transferees' reasonable plans for the future not of the Grantor's property by
offering, modifying or relocating Remediation Equipment, subject to governmental
approval and provided that the Grantor or its transferees, as applicable, will
be responsible for the cost of such alteration, modification or relocation.
b. Notwithstanding the use of the term "exclusive" in Paragraph
1.a.c. and d., Grantor may make such use of the current areas (including
performing any remediation for which Grantee is not responsible, and
implementing any emergency [ILLEGIBLE] activities reasonably necessary on the
account of Grantee to abide as imminent threat of harm) described in Paragraph 1
as does not unreasonably interfere with or pose a significant risk to Grantee's
reasonable exercise of its rights hereunder (including, if required, the grant
of reasonable utility [ILLEGIBLE]), and Grantor shall reasonably cooperate with
Grantee in Grantee's exercise of its rights of access in those areas; provided
Grantee shall not exercise its rights in a fashion which would cause the Grantor
Property to violate applicable laws and regulations, including, without
[ILLEGIBLE], those relating to [ILLEGIBLE] and land use.
3. Grant of Negative Easement and Restriction. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Grantor covenants and agrees, on behalf of itself and
its successors and assigns to the Grantor Property or any portion thereof, and
hereby grants and conveys the Grantor, its successors and assigns, a negative
easement that at no time shall there be constructed, enacted or placed any
building, structure, or other improvement within that portion of the Property
lying within the area which is of a uniform distance of fifty (50) feet
laterally from and along the top of the subsurface [ILLEGIBLE] [ILLEGIBLE] wall
located around the approximate perimeter of the Grantor Property in the location
set forth on Exhibit E, unless steps are taken at Grantor's expense, subject to
Grantee's reasonable approval, to protect the [ILLEGIBLE] wall, and any required
approval of applicable governmental authority, provided that; landscaping in the
form of plants, trees and other vegetation; paving; parking; walkways; and
fencing shall be permitted, except that in no event shall the soil be disturbed
to a depth of more than two (2) feet below present grade).
3
<PAGE> 104
4. Indemnity.
a. Grantee shall (i) repair any damage to the Grantor Property or
improvements thereon caused by the exercise by Grantee of its rights under
Paragraph 1, and (ii) defend, indemnify and hold Grantor harmless from any
claims, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, liabilities, damages, causes of
action, demands or expenses for personal injury and property damage and for the
costs of repairs to the Grantor Property or improvements thereon that are
caused by the exercise by Grantee of its rights under Paragraph 1.
b. Grantee shall indemnify, defend and hold Grantor harmless from
any damages, claims, losses, expenses, costs, obligations and liabilities,
including, without limitation, liabilities for all reasonable attorneys',
accountants' and experts' fees and expenses asserted against or incurred or
suffered by Grantor arising out of or related to environmental conditions (i)
which first occurred, existed or arose prior to the date of this Agreement and
(ii) which arose or resulted from the release of hazardous substances in, on,
under, from, or at the Grantor Property, except to the extent such act
exacerbated by activities of negligent omissions of Grantor or any third party
(other than any Agents acting on behalf of Grantee in the performance of
Remedial Activities) on or after the date of this Agreement.
5. Nature of Rights and Obligations; Termination.
a. The easements and restrictions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2 and
3 of this Agreement (i) burden and run with the Grantor Property, and (ii) are
granted by Grantor for the personal benefit of Grantee, its successors and
assigns, in gross. The obligations of Grantee, as set forth in this Agreement,
including the indemnities set forth in Paragraph 4, benefit and run with the
Grantor Property.
b. Grantee shall be obligated to terminate the easements set forth
in Paragraph 1 (but not the easement and restriction set forth in Paragraph 3)
of this Agreement upon the ????? to occur of (i) five (5) years following the
date of final determination by the relevant federal, state and other applicable
governmental agencies that no further Remedial Activities at the Grantor
Property or any adjacent property is required in respect of the Contamination
(which is to be evidenced by such documentation as is reasonably satisfactory
to the parties) or (ii) termination of Grantee's obligations under Paragraph 4.
Upon such obligation of Grantee to terminate such easements, Grantee shall (i)
promptly remove all Remediation Equipment which Grantor, in its reasonable
discretion, requests to have removed, including, without limitation, the
closure and sealing of any groundwater monitoring wells and removal of piping
(but excluding the ????? walls) in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations, and (ii) execute, acknowledge and record with the Santa Clara
County Recorder a quitclaim deed by which, upon such recording, such easements
set forth in Paragraph 1 and all remaining obligations of Grantee set forth in
this Agreement thereupon shall be extinguished without further act or deed.

Property constitutes Contamination or requires clean-up under any applicable
law. No provision of this Agreement constitutes an admission by Grantee or
Grantor that it is liable for the clean-up of, or otherwise responsible for,
any Contamination or Hazardous Materials at Grantor Property. Nothing in this
Agreement obligates Grantee or Grantor to conduct any activities on the Grantor
Property.

Article VIII.
Environmental Matters
Section 8.1. Environmental Liabilities.
(a) The parties acknowledge that the Mountain View Facility is listed on
the National Priorities List and has been the subject of Remediation by Raytheon
with oversight by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA").
Raytheon shall retain all responsibility and liability following Closing, with
such consultants and contractors as it may select in its sole discretion, for
dealing with EPA and undertaking and completing Remediation of conditions at or
originating from the Mountain View Facility which arose prior to the Closing
Date or were created by Releases of Hazardous Substances that first occurred
prior to the Closing Date, to the extent required by Environmental Law or any
Order, taking into consideration the current industrial use of the Mountain View
Facility (the "Mountain View Environmental Liabilities"). Raytheon shall retain
all rights under insurance policies and all rights to recover from
40
<PAGE> 114
responsible parties with respect to the Mountain View Environmental Liabilities.
Raytheon shall bear no responsibility for any conditions which may arise on or
after the Closing Date as a result of any Post-Closing Release of Hazardous
Substances by Buyer or any third party (except Raytheon's consultants or
contractors or any Person acting for, on behalf of or at the direction of
Raytheon, including, without limitation, in connection with the performance of
the Remediation of the Mountain View Facility ("Raytheon Parties")), provided
that any leaking, leaching, migration or similar movement of Hazardous
substances which existed in soil or ground water prior to the Closing Date shall
not be considered a Release by Buyer except to the extent such is exacerbated by
activities or negligent omissions of Buyer or any third party (other than any
Raytheon Parties) on or after the Closing Date.
(b) In connection with such Remediation of the Mountain View Environmental
Liabilities by Raytheon, Raytheon shall conduct all Remediation required by EPA
or any other Governmental Authority with jurisdiction (subject to Raytheon's
right to contest any such requirement by appropriate proceedings), and Buyer
shall, upon prior written notice, provide Raytheon, its consultants and
contractors access to the Mountain View Facility and shall permit them to
install, operate and maintain remedial treatment systems and to conduct all
other Remediation which Raytheon determines to be necessary or appropriate.
Buyer will cause any successor owners of the Facility to afford Raytheon the
same rights to access and to conduct Remediation (which access shall only be to
the extent necessary to conduct the Remediation and shall terminate upon the
completion of the Remediation), and Buyer agrees to record an appropriate
acknowledgement of such rights in the Registry of Deeds upon Raytheon's request.
Raytheon shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere unreasonably
with Buyer's operation of the Company (where reasonableness is determined by the
conduct of a reasonably prudent person responsible for both the operations and
the business and the conduct of the Remediation) and Raytheon shall indemnify
and hold harmless Buyer Indemnified Parties (as defined in Section 11.2) for any
damage to the Mountain View Facility and against any liability to third persons
to the extent such damage or liability is caused by Raytheon's Remediation;
provided, however, as a condition to such indemnity, that upon the request of
Raytheon, the Buyer Indemnified Party first assigns, subrogates or otherwise
effectively transfers to Raytheon its rights against the Persons causing such
damage or liability. Raytheon agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Buyer's
reasonable plans for the future use of the Mountain View Facility by relocating
or modifying equipment used in connection with the Remediation; provided,
however, that Buyer will be responsible for the cost of such relocation or
modification.
(c) In addition to the foregoing, from and after the Closing Date,
Raytheon shall indemnify, defend and hold Buyer Indemnified Parties (as defined
in Section 11.2) harmless from and against any and all Covered Liabilities
asserted against or incurred or suffered by Buyer Indemnified Parties arising
out of or related to: (i) environmental conditions first occurring, existing or
arising prior to the Closing Date arising out of or resulting from the Release
of Hazardous Substances in, on, under, from, or at the Mountain View Facility
and any real property formerly (but not currently) owned, operated or leased by
the Company or any of its predecessors except to the extent such is exacerbated
by activities or negligent omissions of Buyer or any third party (other than any
Raytheon Parties) on or after the Closing Date or (ii) the off-site
transportation, disposal, recycling, treatment or storage prior to the Closing
Date of
41
<PAGE> 115
Hazardous Substances generated by the Company or Raytheon in connection with
the Semiconductor Division Business prior to the Closing Date.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.1
shall be interpreted to waive any claims which Raytheon may have against Buyer
in the absence of this transaction and Raytheon does not indemnify or hold
harmless Buyer with respect to any Covered Liabilities for which Buyer would be
responsible in the absence of this transaction.
Section 8.2 Indemnities by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless
Raytheon against all Covered Liabilities asserted against or incurred or
suffered by Raytheon arising out of or relating to the Release first occurring
on or after the Closing Date of any Hazardous Substance in, on, under or from
any portion of a facility owned, operated or leased by the Company after the
Closing Date (except in each case from an off-site source and provided that any
leaking, leaching, migration or similar movement of Hazardous Substances which
existed in soil or ground water prior to the Closing Date shall not be
considered a Release by Buyer except to the extent such is exacerbated by
activities or negligent omission of Buyer or anyone other than Raytheon Parties
post-Closing on the Company's property); provided, however, that Buyer may, at
its election, control the defense and, if required, Remediation in connection
with any such Covered Liabilities. Except as set forth in Section 8.1(b), Buyer
shall also indemnify and hold harmless Raytheon against (a) all claims and
liabilities caused by any refusal by Buyer or successor owners to allow
Remediation by Raytheon or any unreasonable interference with the conduct,
management or control of Remediation by Raytheon and (b) all claims and
liabilities arising from or related in any way to the Remediation by Buyer or
any third party, including any Governmental Authority, or additional Remediation
required of Raytheon, in connection with or as a result of any changes to the
existing use of the Mountain View Facility.
Section 8.3 Remediation for Releases after Closing. If any Remediation
required by Environmental Law with respect to Releases of Hazardous Substances
at, on, in or under any portion of the Mountain View Facility is required in
part by Releases before the Closing Date and in party by Releases first
occurring on or after the Closing Date (provided that any leaking, leaching,
migration or similar movement of Hazardous Substances which existed in soil or
ground water prior to the Closing Date shall in no event be considered a
post-Closing Date Release), the costs for such cleanup or other response shall
be divided between Raytheon and Buyer according to their respective degree of
responsibility in connection with such Releases. To determine Buyer's portion of
the costs for such cleanup or other response, Raytheon shall deliver to Buyer
its good faith estimate of the allocation of responsibility. Within 30 days
after Raytheon's delivery of such estimate, Buyer shall be entitled to provide
notice to Raytheon that it is of the view that Raytheon's allocation of
responsibility was not accurate and shall provide Buyer's good faith estimate of
the allocation of responsibility in reasonable detail. Thereupon, Raytheon and
Buyer shall meet to resolve their differences concerning such allocation. If
Raytheon and Buyer cannot agree within 30 days of the date of such notice, such
allocation of fault shall be promptly resolved by submitting, at either party's
request, such dispute to final and binding arbitration. The Arbitrator shall be
a retired Judge from JAMS/End Dispute ("JAMS") selected by the JAMS office in
Boston, Massachusetts. The arbitration location shall be decided by the parties
jointly, or if no agreement is reached, the arbitration shall be held at a
location
42
<PAGE> 116
selected by JAMS. Each party shall bear its own expenses and will share equally
in the arbitrator's fees and related expenses, provided that once an
arbitration judgment is entered, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover attorneys' and or expert fees and related costs. The arbitrator will
determine what discovery, if any, is appropriate. Judgment on the award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in a court having competent
jurisdiction. The judgment awarded by the Arbitrator shall be final, binding
and nonappealable.
Section 8.4. OSHA Matters.
(a) Set forth on Schedule 8.4 hereto is a list of certain conditions and
operations observed by Buyer at the Mountain View Facility and separately with
respect to each, the sections under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, as
amended ("OSHA"), and each of the specific regulations adopted pursuant thereto
deemed applicable by Buyer to each such condition or operation. Raytheon has
reviewed Schedule 8.4 and considers that no actions are necessary to conform
such conditions and operations with the requirements of such sections of OSHA
and such regulations as are set forth for each listed item on Schedule 8.4
hereto.
(b) From and after the date hereof and until Raytheon takes such actions as
are required to bring any item listed on Schedule 8.4 hereto into reasonable
conformity (to the extent such item was not already in reasonable conformity)
with the sections of OSHA and regulations thereunder cited on Schedule 8.4
hereto, or until such item is in reasonable conformity therewith, Raytheon
shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and the Company from and against any
and all Covered Liabilities (as defined in Section 11.2 hereof), suffered,
incurred by or asserted, directly or indirectly, against Buyer or the Company
by reason or arising out of an item identified on Schedule 8.4 hereto not in
reasonable conformity with OSHA and the regulations thereunder. Claims for
indemnity by Buyer in this Section 8.4 may be asserted until 60 days after the
running of the applicable statute of limitations. The indemnity provided
pursuant to this paragraph shall be void and of no effect unless Buyer grants
Raytheon reasonable access to the Mountain View Facility for purposes of
remedying or alleviating any condition or operation listed on Schedule 8.4.
Buyer agrees that when requested by Raytheon to acknowledge that a condition or
operation specified in Schedule 8.4 has been brought into or is in reasonable
conformity with the sections of OSHA and the regulations thereunder specified
on Schedule 8.4, it will do so promptly after reasonable inquiry.
Section 8.5 Wastewater Treatment. Raytheon agrees that, without the proper
consent of Buyer (which consent shall be granted at Buyer's discretion), it
will not accept or treat pollutants, including wastewater or groundwater, from
any property other than the Mountain View Facility except for pollutants from
other properties the treatment of which is (i) within the existing capacity of
the treatment facilities of the Mountain View Facility and footprint, and (ii)
which are either (A) currently being transported for treatment to the Mountain
View Facility via existing pipeline, or (B) contemplated to be transported for
treatment to the Mountain View Facility from the properties located at 365 and
415 East Middlefield Road along a pipeline routing proposed by Raytheon,
provided, however, that, Raytheon shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer
Indemnified Parties for Covered Liabilities suffered, incurred by or asserted,
directly or indirectly, against Buyer Indemnified Parties by reason or arising
out of such
43
<PAGE> 117
the consummation of all or any portion of the Stock Purchase, and no Law shall
have been enacted by any Governmental Authority which prevents consummation of
the Stock Purchase.
Article XI.

representations and warranties contained or made in, or in connection with, this
Agreement or in any Schedule, or any certificate, document or other instrument

eighteen months.
Section 11.2. Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Closing Date,
Raytheon shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, the Company, their Affiliates,
each of their directors, officers, employees and agents, and each of the heirs,
executors, successors, transferees and assigns of any of the foregoing
(collectively, the "Buyer Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all

Agreement (collectively, "Covered Liabilities"), suffered, incurred by or
asserted, directly or indirectly, against the Buyer Indemnified Parties by
reason or arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty,
covenant or agreement of Raytheon or Seller contained herein (each of which for
purposes of this paragraph shall be read as though none of them contains any
Adverse Affect, Change or Effect or other materiality qualifier), or (ii) any
Retained Liability; provided, however, that, except for a breach of any
representation or warranty in Section 3.15, Raytheon shall not be required to
indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to any claim for
indemnification pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 11.2 unless and until the
aggregate amount of all claims against Raytheon under this Section 11.2 exceeds
$1,000,000 and then only to the extent such aggregate amount exceeds such
amount, and; provided, further, that, except for a breach of any representation
or warranty in Section 3.15, in no event shall Raytheon be required to pay or
otherwise be liable for an amount in excess of $40,000,000 with respect to
claims made under clause (i) of this Section.
Section 11.3. Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing Date,
Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Raytheon, its Affiliates, each of their

successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Raytheon
Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all Covered Liabilities suffered,
incurred by or asserted, directly or indirectly, against by the Raytheon
Indemnified Parties by reason or arising out of (i) any breach of any
representation or warranty, covenant or agreement of Buyer contained herein
(each of which for purposes of this paragraph shall be read as though none of
them contains any Adverse Affect, Change or Effect or other materiality
qualifier), or (ii) any Assumed Liability; provided, however, that Buyer shall
not be required to indemnify the Raytheon Indemnified Parties with respect to
any claim made for indemnification pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 11.3

FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT OF PURCHASE AND SALE
This First Amendment to Agreement of Purchase and Sale Agreement ("First
Amendment") is made effective as of April 14, 1999, by and between FAIRCHILD
SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION OF CALIFORNIA, a Delaware corporation ("Seller") and
VERITAS SOFTWARE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser").
Recitals
This First Amendment is entered into on the basis of the following facts,
understandings and intentions of the parties:
A. Seller and Purchaser have entered into an Agreement of Purchase and
Sale dated March 29, 1999 (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which Seller
agreed to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser has agreed to purchase from Seller,
that certain real property, consisting of approximately 19.61 acres, more or
less, commonly referred to as 350 Ellis Street, Mountain View, California,
together with the Improvements located thereon and Appurtenances thereto, all
as more particularly described in the Purchase Agreement.
B. Under the terms of Section 6.1 of the Purchase Agreement, escrow
was originally scheduled to close under the Purchase Agreement on April 15,
1999, subject to extension of such closing date to April 19, 1999 if all
conditions to closing have been satisfied but Purchaser's synthetic lease
financing is not ready to close due to the lender thereunder completing its
financing documents. Purchaser has requested that Seller extend the Closing
Date (as defined in Section 6.1 of the Purchase Agreement) to April 23, 1999,
to allow Purchaser's lender additional time to complete the paperwork
associated with Purchaser's synthetic lease financing of the acquisition of the
Property, and Seller is willing to so extend the Closing Date, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth below.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
set forth below, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and are
incorporated herein by reference.
2. Capitalized Terms. Except as otherwise defined herein, the
capitalized terms set forth in this First Amendment shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.
3. Close of Escrow.
(a) The definition of the "Closing Date" referred to in Section
1.1(f) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended, in relevant part, to delete
the second sentence in Section 1.1(f) and to substitute in place thereof the
following: "The Closing Date under this Agreement shall be not later than 5:00
p.m., Pacific Time, on April 23, 1999.
-1-
<PAGE> 2
(b) The first sentence of Section 6.1 of the Purchase Agreement is
hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in place
thereof:
"The close of escrow under this Agreement shall occur, subject to
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement (or waiver by
the party for whose benefit such condition exist), not later than 5:00
p.m., Pacific Time, on April 23, 1999 (the "Closing Date")."
(c) Purchaser acknowledges that Seller shall not be obligated to grant to
Purchaser any further extensions of the Closing Date beyond 5:00 p.m., Pacific
Time, on April 23, 1999. If escrow does not close under the Purchase Agreement
for any reason (other than a failure of any of the conditions set forth in
paragraph 4 of this First Amendment below to be satisfied) on or before 5:00
p.m., Pacific Time, on April 23, 1999, then Purchaser shall be in breach or
default under the Purchase Agreement and Seller shall be entitled to receive the
Earnest Money (in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)) as liquidated
damages.
4. Outstanding Conditions to Purchaser's Obligation to Close. Seller and
Purchaser each acknowledge and agree that all of Purchaser's conditions to
closing escrow under the Purchase Agreement have been satisfied or waived by
Purchaser other than the following:

at the close of escrow subject to the Permitted Exceptions;
(b) The Title Company's willingness to issue to Purchaser at the
close of escrow the ALTA Form B Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (or other
form required by state law) or CLTA Standard Form Owner's Policy of Title
Insurance, as the case may be, as required under Section 2.3 of the Purchase
Agreement as well as Seller's obligation to deliver an indemnity as described
in Section 3.1(c) (to the extent the Title Company requires an indemnity from
Seller in order to issue any mechanic's lien endorsement to Purchaser at
Closing);
(c) Seller shall have entered into the Sublease as of the close of
escrow under the Purchase Agreement;
(d) The delivery by Seller into escrow of the documents referred to
in Section 6.3 of the Purchase Agreement; it being understood and agreed,
however, that Seller and Purchaser have agreed on the provisions of the
documents referred to in Section 6.3(a)-(e) and 6.3(h) of the Purchase
Agreement (and the form of the assignment agreement referred to in Section
9.1(g) of the Purchase Agreement). Attached to this First Amendment are copies

and Warranties to be executed by Seller, (iii) the form of the Non-Foreign

(g) Seller's obligation to pay its share of closing costs as required
under Section 7.2 of the Purchase Agreement;

Carey Commercial and EY Kenneth Leventhal Real Estate Group, in the total sum
of $1,330,000 as provided in Section 7.3 of the Purchase Agreement;
(i) The performance by Seller of all of its obligations under the
Purchase Agreement accruing from the date of this First Amendment to the
Closing Date (unless such obligations are excused due to a breach or default by
Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement);
(j) The conditions set forth in Section 3.1(e) of the Purchase
Agreement; and
(k) The conditions set forth in Section 6.2(c) and 6.2(f) of the

required to be performed up to the date of this First Amendment. Purchaser
further acknowledges and agrees that Seller is not in breach or default of any
obligations under the Purchase Agreement (and no event has occurred which with
the giving of notice or passage of time would constitute a breach or default by
Seller under the Purchase Agreement).
6. Delivery of Closing Documents by Seller. Section 6.3 of the Purchase
Agreement is hereby amended to delete therefrom the words "At least three
business days prior to the Closing Date," and to substitute in place thereof

"Agreement"), between FIRST SECURITY BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national
banking association ("FSB"), not individually, but solely as Owner Trustee under
the VS Trust 1999-1 (the "Lessor"), and VERITAS SOFTWARE CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (the "Construction Agent").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
A. The Lessor and the Construction Agent are parties to that certain
Lease Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified, extended,
supplemented, restated and/or replaced from time to time, the "Lease"),
pursuant to which the Construction Agent, as lessee (in such capacity, the
"Lessee") has agreed to lease certain Land, Improvements and Equipment from the
Lessor.
B. In connection with the execution and delivery of the Participation
Agreement, the Lease and the other Operative Agreements, and subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, (i) the Lessor desires to appoint the Construction
Agent as its sole and exclusive agent in connection with the identification and
acquisition of the Properties (provided, title to the Properties shall be held
in the name of the Lessor) and the development, acquisition, installation,
construction and testing of the Improvements and the Equipment in accordance
with the Plans and Specifications and pursuant to the applicable construction
contract and (ii) the Construction Agent desires, for the benefit of the Lessor,
to identify and acquire the Properties and to cause the development,
acquisition, installation, construction and testing of the Improvements, the
Equipment and the other components of the Properties in accordance with the
Plans and Specifications and to undertake such other liabilities and obligations
as are herein set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS; RULES OF USAGE
1.1 DEFINITIONS.
For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used in this Agreement
and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in

(as amended, modified, extended,
<PAGE> 4
supplemented, restated and/or replaced from time to time in accordance with the
applicable provisions thereof, the "Participation Agreement") among the
Construction Agent, the various parties thereto from time to time, as
Guarantors, the Lessor, the various banks and lending institutions parties
thereto from time to time, as Holders, the various banks and lending
institutions parties thereto from time to time, as Lenders, and NationsBank,
N.A., as the agent for the Lenders and respecting the Security Documents, as the
agent for the Lenders and the Holders, to the extent of their interests. Unless
otherwise indicated, references in this Agreement to articles, sections,
paragraphs, clauses, appendices, schedules and exhibits are to the same
contained in this Agreement.
1.2 INTERPRETATION.
The rules of usage set forth in Appendix A to the Participation
Agreement shall apply to this Agreement.
ARTICLE II
APPOINTMENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION AGENT
2.1 APPOINTMENT AND ACCEPTANCE.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lessor hereby
irrevocably designates and appoints the Construction Agent as its exclusive
agent and as general contractor, and the Construction Agent accepts such
appointment, in connection with the identification and acquisition from time to
time of the Properties (provided, title to the Properties shall be held in the
name of the Lessor) and the development, acquisition, installation, construction
and testing of the Improvements, the Equipment and the other components of the
Properties in accordance with the Plans and Specifications on the Land, and
pursuant to the terms of the Operative Agreements. Notwithstanding any
provisions hereof or in any other Operative Agreement to the contrary, the
Construction Agent acknowledges and agrees that the Lessor shall advance no more
than the sum of the aggregate Commitment of the Lenders plus the aggregate
amount of the Holder Commitments of the Holders in regard to the Properties
(including without limitation for any and all Advances in the aggregate from the
Lenders under the Credit Agreement and from the Holders under the Trust
Agreement). After the Construction Agent gains knowledge or a reasonable
expectation that the costs for any Property shall exceed the original
Construction Budget (or exceed the Construction Budget as modified in accordance
with the Operative Agreements) for such Property or that Completion for any
Property shall not occur on or prior to the Construction Period Termination
Date, the Construction Agent shall promptly (and in any event within five (5)
Business Days of gaining such knowledge or expectation) notify the Agent in
writing of the same. If at any time prior to the Construction Period Termination
Date, the Lessor or the Agent shall have (x) determined in its respective
reasonable good faith judgment that (i) the sum of the Available Commitments and
the Available Holder Commitments shall be less than the amounts necessary for
Completion of all Properties or (ii) Completion of one or more Properties shall
not occur on or prior to the Construction Period Termination Date or (y)
2
<PAGE> 5
received any notice from the Construction Agent as referenced in the preceding
provisions of this paragraph, then in any such case Lessor shall have the option
(at the direction of the Agent) to replace the Construction Agent with a new
construction agent selected by the Lessor (at the direction of the Agent) to
finalize the Completion of the Properties. The cost and expense incurred to
finalize the Completion of the Properties as referenced in the preceding
sentence shall be the responsibility of the Construction Agent and shall be
payable by the Construction Agent on demand; provided, in no event shall the
obligations of the Construction Agent for such costs and expenses exceed the
Maximum Amount; provided, further, amounts expended by the Lessor to finalize
the Completion of the Properties as referenced in the preceding sentence shall
be added to the Property Cost.
Costs in excess of each original Construction Budget (or the
Construction Budget as modified in accordance with the Operative Agreements) in
each case as previously delivered to the Agent for each Property shall not be
the responsibility of the Construction Agent but instead shall be paid by the
Lenders and the Holders to the extent, but only to the extent, that (after
taking into account such excess costs and any other items of excess cost which
are then known to the Construction Agent or are reasonable for the Construction
Agent to expect) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.4 of the
Participation Agreement are satisfied.
Subject to the Lenders and the Holders not agreeing to continue making
Advances in accordance with the provisions of the next paragraph and in the
event from time to time (a) the Construction Agent gains knowledge or a
reasonable expectation that the costs for any Property shall exceed the original
Construction Budget (or exceed the Construction Budget as modified in accordance
with the Operative Agreements) or that Completion for any Property shall not
occur on or prior to the Construction Period Termination Date or (b) the Lessor
or the Agent shall have determined in its respective reasonable good faith
judgment that the sum of the Available Commitments and the Available Holder
Commitments shall be less than the amounts necessary for Completion of all
Properties or that Completion of one or more Properties shall not occur on prior
to the Construction Period Termination Date, the Construction Agent shall elect
and comply (within ten (10) days of the Construction Agent gaining such
knowledge or expectation or within ten (10) days of the Lessor or the Agent
making such determination and giving written notice of the same to the
Construction Agent, as referenced in subsections (a) and (b) above of this
paragraph) with one of the options set forth in the following subsections (i) or
(ii) (collectively, the "Construction Agent Options"): (i) the Construction
Agent shall pay to the Lessor, on a date designated by the Lessor, an aggregate
amount equal to (A) the Termination Value for all, but not less than all, the
Properties plus (B) any and all fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of
the Lessor or the Agent in connection with the Properties (including without
limitation the transfer thereof) and on such date the Lessor shall transfer and
convey to the Construction Agent all right, title and interest of the Lessor in
and to the Properties or (ii) the Construction Agent shall pay to the Lessor, on
a date designated by the Lessor, an aggregate amount equal to the Maximum Amount
and on and after such date, the Construction Agent shall be irrevocably deemed,
without any further action, to have relinquished all right, title and interest
in and to all, but not less than all, the Properties and to have transferred and
conveyed all such right, title and interest to the Lessor. In connection with
any transfer of the Properties as referenced above in this Section 2.1 by the
Lessor to the Construction Agent, the Lessor shall
3
<PAGE> 6
execute and deliver to the Construction Agent, at the cost and expense of the
Construction Agent (subject to the limitations described in the next sentence),
each of the following: (w) special or limited warranty Deeds conveying each
Property to the Construction Agent free and clear of the Lien of the Lease, the
Lien of the Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens; (x) a Bill of Sale conveying
each Property (to the extent it is personal property) to the Construction Agent
free and clear of the Lien of the Lease, the Lien of the Credit Documents and
any Lessor Liens; (y) any real estate tax affidavit or other document required
by law to be executed and filed in order to record the applicable Deed; and (z)
FIRPTA affidavits. The Lessor (at the discretion of the Agent) shall elect
whether the out-of-pocket fees and expenses associated with the transfer of the
Properties shall be paid by either (i) sales proceeds from the Properties, (ii)
the Lessor (but only to the extent amounts are available therefor with respect
to the Available Commitments and the Available Holder Commitments or each Lender
and each Holder approves the necessary increases in the Available Commitments
and the Available Holder Commitments to fund such fees and expenses) or (iii)
the Construction Agent; provided, if the Construction Agent funds such fees and
expenses (as referenced in subsection (iii)) then the Maximum Amount will be
reduced accordingly, as more specifically described in the definition of
"Maximum Amount". Amounts funded by the Lenders and the Holders with respect to
the foregoing shall be added to the Property Cost. All of the foregoing
documentation must be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Lessor. Subject to the foregoing, all, but not less than all, the Properties
shall be conveyed to the Construction Agent "AS-IS", "WHERE-IS" and in then
present physical condition.
In the event the costs in excess of any original Construction Budget
previously delivered to the Agent for any Property are not funded by the Lenders
and the Holders because (after taking into account such excess costs and any
other items of excess cost which are then known to the Construction Agent or are
reasonable for the Construction Agent to expect) the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 5.4 of the Participation Agreement are not satisfied, then if,
but only if, all the Holders and all the Lenders agree at such time, (a) such
excess costs shall be funded and (b) the Holder Commitments and the Lender
Commitments shall be increased accordingly.
2.2 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
2.3 TERM.
This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and, unless the Lessor
(in its sole discretion) elects otherwise, this Agreement shall terminate on the
Construction Period Termination Date. If this Agreement expires prior to the
Completion of all, but not less than all, the Properties, then the Lessor may
either (i) hire a new construction agent (at the direction of the Agent) to
finalize the Completion of all Properties or (ii) require the Construction Agent
to continue to perform hereunder and to achieve Completion of all Properties.
The cost and expense incurred to finalize the Completion of the Properties as
referenced in the preceding sentence shall be the responsibility of the
Construction Agent and shall be payable by the Construction Agent on demand;
provided, in no event shall the obligations of the Construction Agent for such
costs and expenses exceed the Maximum Amount; provided, further, amounts

be deemed a breach hereunder if such delay is caused by a Force Majeure
Event and Completion is accomplished within three (3) months of the date
otherwise applicable but for this proviso; provided, further, to the
extent such failure to complete is caused by a Force Majeure Event
extending beyond such three (3) month period, the Construction Agent
shall elect one of the Construction Agent Options set forth in Section

ARTICLE III
THE PROPERTIES
3.1 CONSTRUCTION.
The Construction Agent shall cause the Improvements, the Equipment and
all other components of the Properties to be developed, acquired, installed,
constructed and tested in compliance with all Legal Requirements, all Insurance
Requirements, all manufacturer's specifications and standards and the standards
maintained by the Construction Agent for similar properties owned or operated by
the Construction Agent, unless non-compliance, individually or in the aggregate,
shall not have and could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
3.2 AMENDMENTS; MODIFICATIONS.
(a) The Construction Agent may at any time revise, amend or
modify (i) the Plans and Specifications without the consent of the
Lessor; provided, that any such amendment to the Plans and
Specifications does not (x) result in the Completion Date of the
Improvements occurring on or after the Construction Period Termination
Date or (y) result in the cost of all Improvements exceeding the amount
specified in the Construction Budget, as amended from time to time, or
an amount equal to the sum of the then Available Commitments plus the
then Available Holder Commitments (reduced by the amount, if any,
necessary to pay for the cost of construction and development of
Improvements on other Properties which are currently under construction
but have not yet been completed (such amount the "Unfunded Amount")),
and (ii) the Construction Budget and enter into any related amendments,
modifications or supplements without the consent of the Lessor;
provided, that such revisions, amendments or modifications to the Plans
and Specifications or related amendments, modifications or supplements

Budget, as amended from time to time, or the then Available Commitments
and Available Holder Commitment (reduced by the Unfunded Amount).
(b) The Construction Agent agrees that it will not implement any
revision, amendment or modification to the Plans and Specifications for

<PAGE> 11
any previous or contemporaneous revision, amendment or modification to
the Plans and Specifications for any Property, would cause a reduction
in the fair market value of the Properties below the Termination Value
therefor when completed, unless such revision, amendment or modification
is required by Legal Requirements or Section 9.1 of the Lease.
3.3 FAILURE TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD PROPERTIES.
Until termination of the Lease Agreement and the Agency Agreement, the
Construction Agent shall promptly and diligently complete the development,
acquisition, refinancing, installation, construction and testing of such
Construction Period Property substantially in accordance with the Plans and
Specifications and with the terms hereof and cause the Completion Date with
respect to such Construction Period Property to occur on or prior to the
Construction Period Termination Date.
If, prior to the Completion Date with respect to any particular
Property, the Construction Agent shall abandon or permanently discontinue the
construction and development of one or more Construction Period Properties
(which abandonment or permanent discontinuance shall be deemed to have occurred
if no work at any such Construction Period Property site is undertaken or
completed during a period of thirty (30) days or more after construction has
commenced for reasons other than a Force Majeure Event), then the Construction
Agent shall pay to the Lessor, on a date designated by the Lessor, an aggregate
amount equal to the Termination Value of the Properties, and on such date Lessor
shall transfer and convey to the Construction Agent all right, title and
interest of Lessor in and to the Properties, at the cost and expense of the
Construction Agent. The Lessor shall convey such property "AS IS," "WHERE-IS"
and in its then present physical condition to the Construction Agent or its
designee free and clear of Lessor Liens. If Lessor does not require the
Construction Agent to pay such amount, the Construction Agent shall promptly and
diligently complete the development, acquisition, refinancing, installation,
construction and testing of the Construction Period Properties in substantial
accordance with the Plans and Specifications and with the terms hereof and cause
the Completion Date with respect to the Construction Period Properties to occur
on or before the Construction Period Termination Date.

Lessor will comply with such request to the extent provided for under
the Participation Agreement.
9
<PAGE> 12
The Construction Agent and the Lessor acknowledge and agree that the
Construction Agent's right to request such funds and the Lessor's obligation to
advance such funds for the payment of Property Acquisition Costs or other
Property Costs is subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the
Participation Agreement and each of the other Operative Agreements. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing it is specifically understood and
agreed that in no event shall the aggregate amounts advanced by the Lenders and
the Holders for Property Acquisition Costs or other Property Costs and any other
amounts due and owing hereunder or under any of the other Operative Agreements
exceed the sum of the aggregate Commitment of the Lenders plus the aggregate
amount of the Holder Commitments, including without limitation such amounts
owing for (i) development, acquisition, installation, construction and testing
of the Properties or (ii) additional amounts which accrue or become due and
owing under the Credit Agreement or Trust Agreement as obligations of the Lessor
prior to any Completion Date.
(b) The proceeds of any funds made available to the Lessor to pay
Property Acquisition Costs or other Property Costs shall be made available to
the Construction Agent in accordance with the Requisition relating thereto and
the terms of the Participation Agreement. The Construction Agent will use such
proceeds only to pay the Property Acquisition Costs or other Property Costs set
forth in the Requisition relating to such funds.

Properties and related improvements and Equipment or otherwise respecting the
Properties to the payment of Property Acquisition Costs or other Property Costs;
(b) the Construction Agent shall fail to make any payment required

period expressly permitted under the terms of the applicable Operative
Agreement; and
10
<PAGE> 13
(d) the Construction Agent shall fall to observe or perform any
term, covenant or condition of any Operative Agreement other than as set
forth in paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 5.1 and such failure
to observe or perform any such term, covenant or condition shall
continue for more than thirty (30) days after the earlier of an officer
of the Construction Agent becoming aware of such default or notice
thereof by the Lessor; provided, however, that if such failure is of a
nature that is not capable of being cured within such thirty (30) day
period, and the Construction Agent promptly commences appropriate steps
to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day period and continues to
pursue such cure with diligence and good faith thereafter, unless Lessor
shall determine that such delay could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended
for an additional sixty (60) days;
then, in any such event, the Lessor may, in addition to the other rights and
remedies provided for in this Agreement, terminate this Agreement by giving the
Construction Agent three (3) days written notice of such termination and upon
the expiration of the time fixed in such notice and the payment of all amounts
owing by the Construction Agent hereunder (including without limitation any
amounts specified under Section 5.3 hereof), this Agreement shall terminate. The
Construction Agent shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of
the Lessor, including without limitation fees and expenses of counsel, as a
result of any Event of Default hereunder.
5.2 DAMAGES.
The termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1 shall in no
event relieve the Construction Agent of its liability and obligations hereunder,
all of which shall survive any such termination.
5.3 REMEDIES; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
(a) If an Event of Default hereunder shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Lessor shall have all rights available to the Lessor
under the Lease and the other Operative Agreements and all other rights
otherwise available at law, equity or otherwise.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lessor shall
have (in addition to its rights otherwise described in this Agreement or
existing at law, equity or otherwise) the option (and shall be deemed
automatically, and without any further action, to have exercised such
option upon the occurrence of any Lease Event of Default arising under
Sections 17.1(g), (h) (i) or (j) of the Lease) to transfer and convey to
the Construction Agent upon a date designated by the Lessor all right,
title and interest of the Lessor in and to any Property or Properties
(including without limitation any Land and/or any Improvements, any
interest in any Improvements, any Equipment and any Property then under

(a "Construction Period Property"). On any transfer and conveyance date
specified by the Lessor pursuant to this Section 5.3(b), (i) the Lessor
shall transfer and convey (at the cost
11
<PAGE> 14
of the Construction Agent) all right, title and interest of the Lessor in and to
any or all such Construction Period Properties free and clear of the Lien of the
Lease and all Lessor Liens, (ii) the Construction Agent hereby covenants and
agrees that it will accept such transfer and conveyance of right, title and
interest in and to the respective Construction Period Property or Construction
Period Properties and (iii) the Construction Agent hereby promises to pay to the
Lessor, as liquidated damages (it being agreed that it would be impossible
accurately to determine actual damages), an aggregate amount equal to the
Termination Value of such Construction Period Properties plus other costs and
expenses described in Section 2.1 hereof. The Construction Agent specifically
acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Section 5.3(b),
including without limitation its obligations to accept the transfer and
conveyance of Construction Period Properties and its payment obligations
described in subparagraph (iii) of this Section 5.3(b), shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall be performed and/or
paid, as the case may be, without notice or demand and without any abatement,
reduction, diminution, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3(b), the Lessor
shall have the right in its sole discretion to rescind any exercise of its
option under this Section 5.3(b) upon the giving of its written confirmation of
such rescission to the Construction Agent on or prior to the earlier to occur of
(a) the actual date of transfer and (b) the date one hundred and twenty (120)
days after the date the Lessor has given notice of its intent to transfer and
convey any Property to the Construction Agent as referenced above in this
Section 5.3(b).
(c) The Construction Agent shall have the right to cure an Event of
Default hereunder with respect to any given Property by purchasing such Property
from the Lessor (to the extent such Event of Default is no longer continuing
with respect to any other Property remaining subject to this Agreement after
such purchase) for an amount equal to the liquidated damages amount set forth in
Section 5.3(b) of this Agreement.
(d) No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of
the Lessor, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement or under
the other Operative Agreements shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this
Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

the Lenders and the Holders, to the extent of their interests. Unless otherwise
indicated, references in this Lease to articles, sections, paragraphs, clauses,
appendices, schedules and exhibits are to the same contained in this Lease.
1.2 INTERPRETATION.
The rules of usage set forth in Appendix A to the Participation
Agreement shall apply to this Lease.
ARTICLE II
2.1 PROPERTY.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and
contained in the respective Lease Supplement relating to each Property, Lessor
hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor, each Property.
2.2 LEASE TERM.
The basic term of this Lease with respect to each Property (the
"Basic Term") shall begin upon the Property Closing Date for such Property (in
each case the "Basic Term Commencement Date") and shall end on the fifth (5th)
annual anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (the "Basic Term Expiration
Date"), unless the Basic Term is earlier terminated or the term of this Lease is
renewed (as described below) in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall not be obligated to pay Basic Rent
until the Rent Commencement Date with respect to such Property.
Upon the written request of Lessee and with the consent of all of
the Financing Parties, in their sole discretion, the term of this Lease for each
Property may be extended for up to two (2) additional terms each of one (1)
year's duration from the Basic Term Expiration Date (each, a "Renewal Term");
provided, that the expiration date for the final Renewal Term for each Property
shall not be later than the seventh (7th) annual anniversary of the Initial
Closing Date, unless such later expiration date has been expressly agreed to, at
the request of Lessee, in writing by each of Lessor, the Agent, the Lenders and
the Holders in their sole discretion.
2.3 TITLE.
Each Property is leased to Lessee without any representation or
warranty, express or implied, by Lessor and subject to the rights of parties in
possession (if any), the existing state of title (including without limitation
the Permitted Liens) and all applicable Legal Requirements. Lessee shall in no
event have any recourse against Lessor for any defect in Lessor's title to any
Property or any interest of Lessee therein other than for Lessor Liens.
2
<PAGE> 7
2.4 LEASE SUPPLEMENTS.
On or prior to each Basic Term Commencement Date, Lessee and Lessor
shall each execute and deliver a Lease Supplement for the Property to be leased
effective as of such Basic Term Commencement Date in substantially the form of
Exhibit A hereto.
ARTICLE III
3.1 RENT.
(a) Lessee shall pay Basic Rent in arrears on each Payment Date,
and on any date on which this Lease shall terminate with respect to any or
all Properties during the Term; provided, however, with respect to the
Properties in the aggregate Lessee shall have no obligation to pay Basic
Rent until the Rent Commencement Date (notwithstanding that Basic Rent for
such Property shall accrue from and including the Scheduled Interest
Payment Date immediately preceding such Rent Commencement Date).
(b) Each payment of Rent payable by Lessee to Lessor under this
Lease or any other Operative Agreement shall be made by Lessee to the
Agent as the designee of Lessor under Section 5.8 of the Participation
Agreement to such account or accounts as the Agent may designate from time
to time prior to 12:00 p.m., Charlotte, North Carolina time, in
immediately available funds consisting of lawful currency of the United
States of America on the date when such payment shall be due. Payments
received after 12:00 p.m., Charlotte, North Carolina time, on the date due
shall, for the purpose of Section 17.1 hereof be deemed received on such
day; provided, however, that for the purposes of the second sentence of
Section 3.3 hereof, such payments shall be deemed received on the next
succeeding Business Day and, unless the Agent is otherwise able to invest
or employ such funds on the date received, subject to interest at the
Overdue Rate.
(c) Lessee's inability or failure to take possession of all or any
portion of any Property when delivered by Lessor, whether or not
attributable to any act or omission of Lessor, the Construction Agent,
Lessee or any other Person or for any other reason whatsoever, shall not
delay or otherwise affect Lessee's obligation to pay Rent for such
Property in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
(d) On or prior to each Payment Date, Lessor shall deliver, or
cause to be delivered, to Lessee a notice of the exact amount of the Basic
Rent due on such date (the "Invoice"). For the purposes of this Section
3.1(d), delivery of the Invoice by facsimile transmission, receipt
confirmed, will be sufficient.

<PAGE> 8
3.2 PAYMENT OF BASIC RENT.
Basic Rent shall be paid absolutely net to Lessor or its designee,
so that this Lease shall yield to Lessor the full amount thereof, without
setoff, deduction or reduction.
3.3 SUPPLEMENTAL RENT.
Lessee shall pay to the Person entitled thereto any and all
Supplemental Rent when and as the same shall become due and payable, and if
Lessee fails to pay any Supplemental Rent within three (3) days after the same
is due, Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or
by law or equity or otherwise in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent. All such
payments of Supplemental Rent shall be in the full amount thereof, without
setoff, deduction or reduction. Lessee shall pay to the appropriate Person, as
Supplemental Rent due and owing to such Person, among other things, on demand,
(a) any and all payment obligations (except for amounts payable as Basic Rent)
owing from time to time under the Operative Agreements by any Person to the
Agent, any Lender, any Holder or any other Person, (b) interest at the
applicable Overdue Rate on any installment of Basic Rent not paid when due
(subject to the applicable grace period) for the period for which the same shall
be overdue and on any payment of Supplemental Rent not paid when due or demanded
by the appropriate Person (subject to any applicable grace period) for the
period from the due date or the date of any such demand, as the case may be,
until the same shall be paid and (c) amounts referenced as Supplemental Rent
obligations pursuant to Section 8.3 of the Participation Agreement. The
expiration or other termination of Lessee's obligations to pay Basic Rent
hereunder shall not limit or modify the obligations of Lessee with respect to
Supplemental Rent. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Lease, in the
event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay and discharge any Supplemental
Rent as and when due, Lessee shall also promptly pay and discharge any fine,
penalty, interest or cost which may be assessed or added for nonpayment or late
payment of such Supplemental Rent, all of which shall also constitute
Supplemental Rent. During the Construction Period, such Impositions and utility
charges shall be included in the Property Cost to be paid by Lessor; provided,
however the Lessor shall pay such amounts described in this Section 3.3 only if
funds are made available by the Lenders and the Holders in an amount sufficient
to allow such payment.
3.4 PERFORMANCE ON A NON-BUSINESS DAY.
If any Basic Rent is required hereunder on a day that is not a
Business Day, then such Basic Rent shall be due on the corresponding Scheduled
Interest Payment Date. If any Supplemental Rent is required hereunder on a day
that is not a Business Day, then such Supplemental Rent shall be due on the next
succeeding Business Day.
3.5 RENT PAYMENT PROVISIONS.
Lessee shall make payment of all Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent
when due (subject to the applicable grace periods) regardless of whether any of
the Operative Agreements pursuant to which same is calculated and is owing shall
have been rejected, avoided or
4
<PAGE> 9
disavowed in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving any of the
parties to any of the Operative Agreements. Such provisions of such Operative
Agreements and their related definitions are incorporated herein by reference
and shall survive any termination, amendment or rejection of any such Operative
Agreements.
ARTICLE IV
4.1 TAXES; UTILITY CHARGES.
Subject to Lessee's rights of permitted contest pursuant to Section
13.1, Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all Impositions with respect to the
Properties and/or the use, occupancy, operation, repair, access, maintenance or
operation thereof and all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water,
telephone, sanitary sewer service and all other rents, utilities and operating
expenses of any kind or type used in or on any Property and related real
property during the Term. Upon Lessor's request, Lessee shall provide from time
to time Lessor with evidence of all such payments referenced in the foregoing
sentence. Lessee shall be entitled to receive any credit or refund with respect
to any Imposition or utility charge paid by Lessee. Unless an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount of any credit or refund
received by Lessor on account of any Imposition or utility charge paid by
Lessee, net of the costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in obtaining such
credit or refund, shall be promptly paid over to Lessee. All charges for
Impositions or utilities imposed with respect to any Property for a period
during which this Lease expires or terminates shall be adjusted and prorated on
a daily basis between Lessor and Lessee, and each party shall pay or reimburse
the other for such party's pro rata share thereof. During the Construction
Period, the costs of Impositions and all other utility and other charges or
expenses referenced in this Section 4.1 shall be paid by Lessor; provided,
however, the Lessor shall pay such amounts described in this Section 4.1 only if
funds are made available by the Lenders and the Holders in an amount sufficient
to allow such payment.
ARTICLE V
5.1 QUIET ENJOYMENT.
Subject to the rights of Lessor contained in Sections 17.2, 17.3 and
20.3 and the other terms of this Lease and the other Operative Agreements and so
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall
peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy each Property for the applicable
Term, free of any claim or other action by Lessor or anyone rightfully claiming
by, through or under Lessor (other than Lessee) with respect to any matters
arising from and after the applicable Basic Term Commencement Date.
5
<PAGE> 10
ARTICLE VI
6.1 Net Lease.
This Lease shall constitute a net lease, and the obligations of
Lessee hereunder are absolute and unconditional. Lessee shall pay all operating
expenses arising out of the use, operation and/or occupancy of each Property.
Any present or future law to the contrary notwithstanding, this Lease shall not
terminate, nor shall Lessee be entitled to any abatement, suspension, deferment,
reduction, setoff, counterclaim, or defense with respect to the Rent, nor shall
the obligations of Lessee hereunder be affected (except as expressly herein
permitted and by performance of the obligations in connection therewith) for any
reason whatsoever, including without limitation by reason of: (a) any damage to
or destruction of any Property or any part thereof; (b) any taking of any
Property or any part thereof or interest therein by Condemnation or otherwise;
(c) any prohibition, limitation, restriction or prevention of Lessee's use,
occupancy or enjoyment of any Property or any part thereof, or any interference
with such use, occupancy or enjoyment by any Person or for any other reason; (d)
any title defect, Lien or any matter affecting title to any Property; (e) any
eviction by paramount title or otherwise; (f) any default by Lessor hereunder;
(g) any action for bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation,
dissolution or other proceeding relating to or affecting the Agent, any Lender,
Lessor, Lessee, any Holder or any Governmental Authority; (h) the impossibility
or illegality of performance by Lessor, Lessee or both; (i) any action of any
Governmental Authority or any other Person, Lessee's acquisition of ownership of
all or part of any Property (except for any such acquisition of ownership
pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Lease); (k) breach of any
warranty or representation with respect to any Property or any Operative
Agreement; (1) any defect in the condition, quality or fitness for use of any
Property or any part thereof; or (m) any other cause or circumstance whether
similar or dissimilar to the foregoing and whether or not Lessee shall have
notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions, nothing contained in this Section 6.1 shall provide Lessor with any
right to payment by Lessee under this Lease prior to the Completion Date which
is contrary to Lessor's remedies under the Agency Agreement; it being the
express intention of the parties hereto that Lessee's liability hereunder shall
not exceed the liability of the Construction Agent under the Agency Agreement
prior to the Completion Date. The parties intend that the obligations of Lessee
hereunder shall be covenants, agreements and obligations that are separate and
independent from any obligations of Lessor hereunder and shall continue
unaffected unless such covenants, agreements and obligations shall have been
modified or terminated in accordance with an express provision of this Lease.
Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 6.1
have been specifically reviewed and subjected to negotiation.
6.2 NO TERMINATION OR ABATEMENT.
Lessee shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with
its terms and shall not take any action to terminate, rescind or avoid this
Lease, notwithstanding any action for bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
liquidation, dissolution, or other proceeding affecting any Person or any
Governmental Authority, or any action with respect to this Lease or any
Operative Agreement which may be taken by any trustee, receiver or liquidator of
any Person or
6
<PAGE> 11
any Governmental Authority or by any court with respect to any Person, or any
Governmental Authority. Lessee hereby waives all right (a) to terminate or
surrender this Lease (except as permitted hereunder or under the terms of the
Operative Agreements) or (b) to avail itself of any abatement, suspension,
deferment, reduction, setoff, counterclaim or defense with respect to any Rent.
Lessee shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and
Lessee hereby waives any and all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or
otherwise to modify or avoid strict compliance with its obligations under this
Lease. Notwithstanding any such statute or otherwise, Lessee shall be bound by
all of the terms and conditions contained in this Lease.
ARTICLE VII
7.1 OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTIES.
(a) Lessor and Lessee intend that for federal and all state and
local income tax purposes, bankruptcy purposes, regulatory purposes,
commercial law and real estate purposes and all other purposes (A) this
Lease will be treated as a financing arrangement, (B) Lessee will be
treated as the beneficial owner of the Properties and will be entitled to
all tax benefits ordinarily available to owners of property similar to the
Properties for such tax purposes and (C) this Lease will be treated as an
operating lease for financial statement reporting purposes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party hereto has made, or shall be
deemed to have made, any representation or warranty as to the availability
of any of the foregoing treatments under applicable accounting rules, tax,
bankruptcy, regulatory, commercial or real estate law or under any other
set of rules. Lessee shall claim the cost recovery deductions associated
with each Property, and Lessor shall not, to the extent not prohibited by
Law, take on its tax return a position inconsistent with Lessee's claim of
such deductions.
(b) For all purposes described in Section 7.1 (a), Lessor and
Lessee intend this Lease to constitute a finance lease and not a true
lease. In order to secure the obligations of Lessee now existing or
hereafter arising under any and all Operative Agreements, Lessee hereby
conveys, grants, assigns, transfers, hypothecates, mortgages and sets over
to Lessor, for the benefit of all Financing Parties, a first priority
security interest (but subject to the security interest in the assets
granted by Lessee in favor of the Agent in accordance with the Security
Agreement) in and lien on all right, title and interest of Lessee (now
owned or hereafter acquired) in and to all Properties to the extent such
is personal property and irrevocably grants and conveys a lien, deed of
trust and mortgage on all right, title and interest of Lessee (now owned
or hereafter acquired) in and to all Properties to the extent such is a
real property. Lessor and Lessee further intend and agree that, for the
purpose of securing the obligations of Lessee and/or the Construction
Agent now existing or hereafter arising under the Operative Agreements,
(i) this Lease shall be a security agreement and financing statement
within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code respecting
each of the Properties and all proceeds (including without limitation
insurance proceeds thereof) to the extent such is personal
7
<PAGE> 12
property and an irrevocable grant and conveyance of a lien, deed of trust
and mortgage on each of the Properties and all proceeds (including without
limitation insurance proceeds thereof) to the extent such is real
property; (ii) the acquisition of title by Lessor in each Property
referenced in Article II constitutes a grant by Lessee to Lessor of a
security interest, lien, deed of trust and mortgage in all of Lessee's
right, title and interest in and to each Property and all proceeds
(including without limitation insurance proceeds thereof) of the
conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash,
investments, securities or other property, whether in the form of cash,
investments, securities or other property, and an assignment of all rents,
profits and income produced by each Property; and (iii) notifications to
Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from financial intermediaries, bankers or agents (as
applicable) of Lessee shall be deemed to have been given for the purpose
of perfecting such lien, security interest, mortgage lien and deed of
trust under applicable law. Lessee shall promptly take such actions as
Lessor may reasonably request (including without limitation the filing of
Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements, Uniform Commercial Code
Fixture Filings and memoranda (or short forms) of this Lease and the
various Lease Supplements) to ensure that the lien, security interest,
lien, mortgage lien and deed of trust in each Property and the other items
referenced above will be deemed to be a perfected lien, security interest,
mortgage lien and deed of trust of first priority under applicable law and
will be maintained as such throughout the Term.
ARTICLE VIII
8.1 CONDITION OF THE PROPERTIES.
LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT IS LEASING EACH PROPERTY
"AS-IS WHERE-IS" WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT (EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED) BY LESSOR (EXCEPT THAT LESSOR SHALL KEEP EACH PROPERTY FREE AND CLEAR

OF LESSOR LIENS) OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER AS TO THE
TITLE, VALUE, HABITABILITY, USE, CONDITION, DESIGN, OPERATION, MERCHANTABILITY

LENDER NOR ANY HOLDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LATENT, HIDDEN, OR PATENT DEFECT
THEREON OR THE FAILURE OF ANY PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF, TO COMPLY WITH ANY
LEGAL REQUIREMENT. LESSEE HAS OR PRIOR TO THE BASIC TERM COMMENCEMENT DATE WILL

IMPROVEMENTS THEREON (IF ANY), IS OR WILL BE (INSOFAR AS LESSOR, THE AGENT, EACH
LENDER AND EACH HOLDER ARE CONCERNED) SATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS OF ITS
INSPECTIONS AND IS ENTERING INTO THIS LEASE SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF THE RESULTS

8.2 POSSESSION AND USE OF THE PROPERTIES.
(a) At all times following the Completion Date, the Properties in
the aggregate shall constitute a Permitted Facility and shall be used by
Lessee in the ordinary course of its business. Lessee shall pay, or cause
to be paid, all charges and costs required in connection with the use of
the Properties as contemplated by this Lease. Lessee shall not commit or
permit any waste of the Properties or any part thereof.
(b) The address stated in Section 6.2(i) of the Participation
Agreement is the principal place of business and chief executive office of
Lessee (as such terms are used in Section 9-103(3) of the Uniform

Lessor with prior written notice of any change of location of its
principal place of business or chief executive office. Regarding a
particular Property, each Lease Supplement correctly identifies the
initial location of the related Equipment (if any) and Improvements (if
any) and contains an accurate legal description for the related parcel of
Land. The Equipment and Improvements respecting each particular Property
will be located only at the location identified in the applicable Lease
Supplement.
(c) Lessee will not attach or incorporate any item of Equipment to
or in any other item of equipment or personal property or to or in any
real property in a manner that could give rise to the assertion of any
Lien (in favor of a third party that is prior to the Liens thereon created
by the Operative Agreements) on such item of Equipment by reason of such
attachment or the assertion of a claim that such item of Equipment has
become a fixture and is subject to a Lien in favor of a third party that
is prior to the Liens thereon created by the Operative Agreements.
(d) On the Basic Term Commencement Date for each Property, Lessor
and Lessee shall execute a Lease Supplement in regard to such Property
which shall contain an Equipment Schedule that has a general description
of the Equipment (if any) which

Lessee will comply with all obligations under and (to the extent no Event
of Default exists and provided that such exercise will not impair the
value, utility or remaining useful life of such Property) shall be
permitted to exercise all rights and remedies under, all operation and
easement agreements and related or similar agreements applicable to such
Property.

MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS.
Subject to the terms of Article XIII relating to permitted contests,
Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall (a) comply with all applicable Legal
Requirements (including without limitation all Environmental Laws (except as set
forth in Section 15.2)) and all Insurance Requirements relating to the
Properties, (b) procure, maintain and comply with all licenses, permits, orders,
approvals, consents and other authorizations required for the acquisition,
installation, testing, use, development, construction, operation, maintenance,

not compliance therewith shall require structural or extraordinary changes in
any Property or interfere with the use and enjoyment of any Property, unless the
failure to procure, maintain and comply with such items identified in
subparagraphs (b) and (c), individually or in the aggregate, shall not have and
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Lessor
agrees to take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Lessee in
connection with the compliance by Lessee of its obligations under this Section
9.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall be deemed to be in compliance
with all
10
<PAGE> 15
Environmental Laws for purposes of this Lease notwithstanding any Environmental
Violation if the severity of such Environmental Violation is less than federal,
state and local standards requiring remediation or removal or, if such standards
are exceeded, remediation or removal is proceeding in accordance with all
applicable Environmental Laws.
ARTICLE X
10.1 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR; RETURN.
(a) Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain each
Property in good condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear and
tear excepted) and make all necessary repairs thereto and replacements

(c) If any component of any Property becomes worn out, lost,
destroyed, damaged beyond repair or otherwise permanently rendered unfit
for use, Lessee, at its own expense, will within a reasonable time replace
such component with a replacement component which is free and clear of all
Liens (other than Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens) and has a value,
utility and useful life at least equal to the component replaced (assuming
the component replaced had been maintained and repaired in accordance with
the requirements of this Lease). Except as otherwise provided in Section
11.1, all components which are added to any Property shall immediately
become the property of (and title thereto shall vest in) Lessor and shall
be deemed incorporated in such Property and subject to the terms of this
Lease as if originally leased hereunder.
(d) Upon reasonable advance notice, Lessor and its agents shall
have the right to inspect each Property and all maintenance records with
respect thereto at any reasonable time during normal business hours but

or any part of any Property, or (ii) make repairs at the expense of Lessor
pursuant to any Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement, contract,
agreement, covenant, condition or restriction at any time in effect.
(g) Lessee shall, upon the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease with respect to a Property, if Lessee shall not have exercised
its Purchase Option with respect to such Property and purchased such
Property, surrender such Property (i) pursuant to the exercise of the
applicable remedies upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, to
Lessor or (iii) pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 22.1(a)
hereof, to Lessor or the third party purchaser, as the case may be,

appurtenance thereto is the subject of a Condemnation; provided,
however, if a Material Default or an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing or if such award, compensation or insurance
proceeds shall exceed $1,000,000, then such award, compensation or
insurance proceeds shall be paid directly to Lessor or, if received by
Lessee, shall be held in trust for Lessor, and shall be paid over by
Lessee to Lessor and held in accordance with the terms of this Article
XV or, if applicable. applied to the repayment of the Property Cost in
accordance with Section 16 on the Termination Date. All amounts held by
Lessor hereunder on account of any award, compensation or insurance
proceeds either paid directly to Lessor or turned over to Lessor shall
be held as security for the performance of Lessee's obligations
hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements and when all such
obligations of Lessee with respect to such matters (and all other
obligations of Lessee which should have been satisfied pursuant to the
Operative Agreements as of such date) have been satisfied, all amounts
so held by Lessor shall be paid over to Lessee.
(b) Lessee may appear in any proceeding or action to
negotiate, prosecute, adjust or appeal any claim for any award,
compensation or insurance payment on account of any such Casualty or
Condemnation and shall pay all expenses thereof; provided, that during
the Construction Period, such expenses shall be paid by Lessor;
provided, further the Lessor shall pay such amounts described in this
Section 15.1(b) only if funds are made available by the Lenders and the
Holders in an amount sufficient to allow such payment. At Lessee's
reasonable request, and at Lessee's sole cost and expense, Lessor and
the Agent shall participate in any such proceeding, action,
negotiation, prosecution or adjustment; provided, that during the
Construction Period, such expenses shall be paid by Lessor; provided,
further, the Lessor shall pay such amounts described in this Section
15.1(b) only if funds are made available by the Lenders and the Holders

that this Lease shall control the rights of Lessor and Lessee in and to
any such award, compensation or insurance payment.
(c) If Lessee shall receive notice of a Casualty or a
Condemnation of a Property or any interest therein where damage to the
affected Property is estimated to equal or exceed twenty-five percent
(25%) of the Property Cost of such Property, Lessee shall give notice
thereof to Lessor promptly after Lessee's receipt of such notice. In
the event such a Casualty or Condemnation occurs (regardless of whether
Lessee gives notice thereof), then Lessee shall be deemed to have
delivered a Termination Notice to Lessor and the provisions of Sections
16.1 and 16.2 shall apply.
(d) In the event of a Casualty or a Condemnation (regardless
of whether notice thereof must be given pursuant to paragraph (c)),
this Lease shall terminate with respect to the applicable Property in
accordance with Section 16.1 if Lessee, within thirty (30) days after
such occurrence, delivers to Lessor a notice to such effect.
(e) If pursuant to this Section 15.1 this Lease shall continue

14
<PAGE> 19
Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense (subject to reimbursement in
accordance with Section 15.1(a)) promptly and diligently repair any
damage to the applicable Property caused by such Casualty or
Condemnation in conformity with the requirements of Sections 10.1 and
11.1. using the as-built Plans and Specifications or manufacturer's
specifications for the applicable Improvements, Equipment or other
components of the applicable Property (as modified to give effect to
any subsequent Modifications, any Condemnation affecting the applicable
Property and all applicable Legal Requirements). so as to restore the
applicable Property to the same or a greater remaining economic value,
useful life, utility, condition, operation and function as existed
immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation (assuming all
maintenance and repair standards have been satisfied). In such event,
title to the applicable Property shall remain with Lessor. Lessor shall
make disbursements from time to time of any award, compensation or
insurance proceeds held by it to Lessee for application to the cost of
restoration subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(1) Lessor shall have received a fully executed counterpart of a
requisition therefor (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor), requesting funds in an amount not exceeding the cost of work
completed or insured since the last disbursement, together with
reasonably satisfactory evidence of the state of completion and of
performance of the work in a good and workman-like manner and in
accordance with the as-built Plans and Specifications, (ii) at the time
of any such disbursement, no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, and no mechanic's or
materialmen's liens shall have been filed and remain undischarged,
except those discharged by the disbursement of the requested funds or
which are otherwise bonded, (iii) Lessor shall be reasonably satisfied
that sufficient funds are available to complete such restoration and
(iv) Lessor shall have good and marketable title to all Properties,
subject only to Permitted Liens. Provided no Lease Default or Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any award,
compensation or insurance proceeds remaining after restoration of any
Property as herein provided shall be paid to Lessee.
(f) In no event shall a Casualty or Condemnation affect
Lessee's obligations to pay Rent pursuant to Article III.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
Section 15.1(a) or Section 15.1(e), if during the Term with respect to
a Property a Casualty occurs with respect to such Property or Lessee
receives notice of a Condemnation with respect to such Property, and
following such Casualty or Condemnation, the applicable Property cannot
reasonably be restored, repaired or replaced on or before the day one
hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Expiration Date or the date nine
(9) months after the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation (if
such Casualty or Condemnation occurs during the Term) to the same or a
greater remaining economic value, useful life, utility, condition,
operation and function as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or
Condemnation (assuming all maintenance and repair standards have been
satisfied) or on or before such day such Property is not in fact so
restored, repaired or replaced, then Lessee shall be required to
exercise its Purchase Option for such Property on the next Payment Date
(notwithstanding the limits on such exercise contained in Section 20.2)
and pay Lessor
15
<PAGE> 20
the Termination Value for such Property; provided, if any Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee shall also
promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) pay Lessor
any award, compensation or insurance proceeds received on account of
any Casualty or Condemnation with respect to any Property; provided,
further, that if no Material Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, any Excess Proceeds shall be paid to Lessee. If a
Material Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and any Loans, Holder Advances or other amounts are owing with respect
thereto, then any Excess Proceeds (to the extent of any such Loans,
Holder Advances or other amounts owing with respect thereto) shall be
paid to Lessor, held as security for the performance of Lessee's
obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements and
applied to such obligations upon the exercise of remedies in connection
with the occurrence of an Event of Default, with the remainder of such
Excess Proceeds in excess of such Loans, Holder Advances and other
amounts owing with respect thereto being distributed to the Lessee.
(h) The provisions of Sections 15.1(a) through 15.1(g) shall
not apply to any Property until after the Construction Period
Termination Date applicable to such Property and the applicable
provisions of the Agency Agreement shall apply to a Casualty or
Condemnation affecting a Construction Period Property.
15.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.
(a) Lessee hereby acknowledges and confirms that, as of the
Property Closing Date, the Property (which includes Land) is
contaminated by Hazardous Substances including, but not limited to, the
Pre-Existing Hazardous Substances semiconductor related contamination
("TCE") and ten other compounds (the "Pre-Existing Hazardous
Substances") in concentrations and conditions that constitute an
Environmental Violation. In particular, Lessee acknowledges and
confirms the following facts with regard to the Property (which
includes the Land); provided remediation plans are in effect with
respect thereto which bring such Property (which includes the Land)
into compliance with the applicable Environmental Laws:
(i) In 1984, the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board issued cleanup orders to Raytheon, Fairchild
Semiconductor Corporation, Intel Corporation, NEC Electronics,
Inc. and Siltec Corporation with respect to PreExisting
Hazardous Substance contamination in the regional site known
as the Middlefield-Ellis-Whisman (MEW) site (of which the
Property (which includes the Land) is a part). Three (3)
Superfund sites exist within the MEW area. The Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") is currently overseeing cleanup
measures that are being conducted on the Property (which
includes the Land) and neighboring properties. The Property
(which includes the Land) has been identified in EPA Orders as
containing sources of contamination including underground and
aboveground storage tanks for chemical products and wastes, pH
neutralization systems and industrial wastewater treatment
systems. The Property (which includes the Land) is listed on
the National Priorities List.
16
<PAGE> 21
(iii) In April 1985, the EPA issued a "Request for
Information" pursuant to Section 106(c) of CERCLA and took
over as the lead agency at the Property (which includes Land).
Raytheon, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and Intel
Corporation entered an Administrative order on Consent with
the EPA on August 15, 1985 to conduct Remedial
Investigation/Feasibility Studies ("RI/FS") at the regional
site referred to above. The RI/FS was finalized in 1988. The
EPA issued a Record of Decision ("ROD") in May 1989. The ROD.
which was later modified in September 1990 and April 1996,
established specific cleanup concentrations for the
Pre-Existing Hazardous Substances, and required the
implementation of site-specific source control remediation
measures and a regional groundwater remediation program.
Raytheon and Intel Corporation entered into a Consent Decree
("CD") with the EPA in May 1991 that was entered by the United
States District Court, Northern District of California on
April 10. 1992.
(iii) The CD referred to above provides that Raytheon
will perform groundwater and soil remediation for the sites it
occupied and operated within the MEW area, including, but not
limited to, the Property (which includes the Land). The
facility specific work at the Property (which includes the
Land) is now in the operation and maintenance phase.
(iv) In 1987, a soil-bentonite, subsurface, slurry
wall was installed by Raytheon around the perimeter of the
Property (which includes the Land) enclosing the soil and
water bearing zones as part of the remedial measures.
Groundwater is extracted from the water bearing zones by
Raytheon within the area enclosed by the slurry wall
maintaining an inward and upward groundwater flow gradient to
keep contaminated groundwater from flowing away from the
Property (which includes the Land).
(v) The groundwater extraction and treatment system
was installed in 1987. Groundwater is extracted from several
wells located both within the Property (which includes the
Land) boundaries and from adjacent property. The groundwater
extraction system is a long term remedial measure that
Raytheon is required to maintain. The groundwater extraction
system, soil vapor extraction system referred to below and
groundwater monitoring are ongoing at the Property (which
includes the Land) to remediate and monitor TCE and other
Pre-Existing Hazardous Substances.
(vi) A soil vapor extraction system was installed by
Raytheon in 1996 to remediate the contaminated soils in or
under the Property (which includes the Land). This system
covers a surface area of approximately four (4) acres and
proceeds to a depth of approximately 15 to 18 feet. The system
is composed of eighty-eight (88) shallow and deep soil vapor
extraction wells and one soil vapor
17
<PAGE> 22
extraction treatment system. Raytheon has petitioned and
obtained approval from the EPA for closure for part of the
soil vapor remedial system.
(b) In light of the environmental condition of the Property
(which includes the Land) existing as of the Property Closing Date (the
"Pre-Existing Environmental Conditions"), the presence of Pre-Existing
Hazardous Substances on the Property (which includes the Land) shall
not violate the terms of this Lease. Responsibility for the cleanup
and/or remediation of the Pre-Existing Environmental Conditions shall
be allocated pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the
Indemnity Agreement: provided, notwithstanding any of the provisions of
the Lease or any of the Operative Agreements, to the extent any
Pre-Existing Environmental Condition is not addressed by, any third
party pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and/or the Indemnity Agreement
so as to remediate such Pre-Existing Environmental Condition in
accordance with the applicable Environmental Laws (and to indemnify the
Financing Parties in accordance with the requirements of the
Participation Agreement), then Lessee shall be responsible for (i) the
cleanup and/or remediation of such Pre-Existing Environmental Condition
in accordance with the applicable terms of the Operative Agreements
including without limitation Section 15.2(c) and (ii) the environmental
indemnification of the Financing Parties in accordance with the
Participation Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, promptly upon Lessee's
actual knowledge of the presence of Hazardous Substances in any portion
of any Property or Properties (other than the Pre-Existing
Environmental Conditions) in concentrations and conditions that
constitute an Environmental Violation and which, in the reasonable
opinion of Lessee, the cost to undertake any legally required response,
clean up, remedial or other action will or might result in a cost to
Lessee of more than $50,000, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing of
such condition. In the event of any Environmental Violation (regardless
of whether notice thereof must be given), Lessee shall, not later than
thirty (30) days after Lessee has actual knowledge of such
Environmental Violation, either deliver to Lessor a Termination Notice
with respect to the applicable Property or Properties pursuant to
Section 16. 1, if applicable, or, at Lessee's sole cost and expense,
promptly and diligently undertake and diligently complete any response,
clean up, remedial or other action (including without limitation the
pursuit by Lessee of appropriate action against any off-site or third
party source for contamination) necessary to remove. cleanup or
remediate the Environmental Violation in accordance with all
Environmental Laws; provided, notwithstanding the foregoing provision
of this sentence, Lessee shall only be responsible for Pre-Existing
Environmental Conditions to the extent set forth in Section 15.2(b) and
the other applicable provisions of the Operative Agreements. Any such
undertaking shall be timely completed in accordance with prudent
industry standards. If Lessee does not deliver a Termination Notice
with respect to such Property pursuant to Section 16.1, Lessee shall.,
upon completion of remedial action by Lessee, cause to be prepared by a
reputable environmental consultant acceptable to Lessor a report
describing the Environmental Violation and the actions taken by Lessee
(or its agents) in response to such Environmental Violation, and a
statement by the consultant that the Environmental Violation has been
remedied in full compliance with applicable
18
<PAGE> 23
Environmental Law. Not less than sixty (60) days prior to any time that
Lessee elects to cease operations with respect to any Property or to
remarket any Property pursuant to Section 20.1 hereof or any other
provision of any Operative Agreement, Lessee at its expense shall cause
to be delivered to Lessor environmental site assessments respecting such
Property recently prepared (no more than thirty (30) days prior to the
date of delivery) by an independent recognized professional acceptable
to Lessor in its reasonable discretion and in form, scope and content
satisfactory to Lessor in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding any
other provision of any Operative Agreement, if Lessee fails to comply
with the foregoing obligation regarding the environmental site
assessments, Lessee shall be obligated to purchase such Property for its
Termination Value and shall not be permitted to exercise (and Lessor
shall have no obligation to honor any such exercise) any rights under
any Operative Agreement regarding a sale of such Property to a Person
other than Lessee.
15.3 NOTICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.
Promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days from the
date Lessee has actual knowledge thereof, Lessee shall provide to Lessor
written notice of any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding
involving any Environmental Law or any Release on or in connection with
any Property or Properties other than notices (provided to Lessor prior
to the Initial Closing Date) relating to the Pre-Existing Environmental
Conditions. All such notices shall describe in reasonable detail the
nature of the claim, action or proceeding and Lessee's proposed response
thereto. In addition, Lessee shall provide to Lessor, within five (5)
Business Days of receipt, copies of all material written communications
with any Governmental Authority relating to any Environmental Law in
connection with any Property. Lessee shall also promptly provide such
detailed reports of any such material environmental claims as may
reasonably be requested by Lessor.

by such means as are available at law or in equity, and may remove Lessee and
all other Persons and any and all personal property and Lessee's equipment and
personalty and severable Modifications from the Properties. Lessor shall have no
liability by reason of any such entry, repossession or removal performed in

17.3 RELETTING.
If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
and whether or not this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section
17.1, Lessor may, but shall be under no obligation to, relet any or all of the
Properties, for the account of Lessee or otherwise, for such term or terms
(which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have
constituted the balance of the Term) and on such conditions (which may include
concessions or free rent) and for such purposes as Lessor may determine, and
Lessor may collect, receive and retain the rents resulting from such reletting.
Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any failure to relet any Property or
for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting.
17.4 DAMAGES.
Neither (a) the termination of this Lease as to all or any of the
Properties pursuant to Section 17.1; (b) the repossession of all or any of the
Properties; nor (c) the failure of Lessor to relet all or any of the Properties,
the reletting of all or any portion thereof, nor the failure of Lessor to
collect or receive any rentals due upon any such reletting, shall relieve Lessee
of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any
such termination, repossession or reletting. If any Lease Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing and notwithstanding any termination of this
Lease pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor all Rent
and other sums due and payable hereunder to and including without limitation the
date of such termination. Thereafter, on the days on which the Basic Rent or
Supplemental Rent, as applicable, are payable under this Lease or would have
been payable under this Lease if the same had not been terminated pursuant to
Section 17.1 and until the end of the Term hereof or what would have been the
Term in the absence of such termination, Lessee shall pay Lessor, as current
liquidated damages (it being agreed that it would be impossible accurately to
determine actual damages) an amount equal to the Basic Rent and Supplemental
Rent that are payable under this Lease or would have been payable by Lessee
hereunder if this Lease had not been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, less
the net proceeds, if any, which are actually received by Lessor with respect to
the period in question of any reletting of any Property or any portion thereof;
provided, that Lessee's obligation to make payments of Basic Rent and
Supplemental Rent under this Section 17.4 shall continue only so long as Lessor
shall not have received the amounts specified in Section 17.6. In calculating
the amount of such net proceeds from reletting, there shall be deducted all of
Lessor's, any Holder's, the Agent's and any Lender's reasonable expenses in
connection therewith, including without limitation repossession costs, brokerage
or sales commissions, fees and expenses for counsel and any necessary repair or
alteration costs and expenses incurred in preparation for such reletting. To the
extent Lessor receives any damages pursuant to this Section 17.4, such amounts
shall be regarded as amounts paid on account of Rent. Lessee specifically
acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Section 17.4 shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall be paid
and/or performed, as the case may be, without notice or demand and without any
abatement, reduction, diminution, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment
whatsoever.
24
<PAGE> 29
17.5 POWER OF SALE.
Without limiting any other remedies set forth in this Lease,
Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessee has granted, pursuant to Section 7.1 (b)
hereof and each Lease Supplement, a Lien against the Properties WITH POWER OF
SALE, and that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Lease
Event of Default, Lessor shall have the power and authority, to the extent
provided by law, after prior notice and lapse of such time as may be required by
law, to foreclose its interest (or cause such interest to be foreclosed) in all
or any part of the Properties.
17.6 FINAL LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
Subject to the limitations of the Agency Agreement, if a Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, whether or not this
Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1 and whether or not
Lessor shall have collected any current liquidated damages pursuant to Section
17.4, Lessor shall have the right to recover, by demand to Lessee and at
Lessor's election, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as and for final liquidated
damages, but exclusive of the indemnities payable under Section 11 of the
Participation Agreement (which, if requested, shall be paid concurrently), and
in lieu of all current liquidated damages beyond the date of such demand (it
being agreed that it would be impossible accurately to determine actual damages)
the Termination Value. Upon payment of the amount specified pursuant to the
first sentence of this Section 17.6, Lessee shall be entitled to receive from
Lessor, either at Lessee's request or upon Lessor's election, in either case at
Lessee's cost, an assignment of Lessor's entire right, title and interest in and
to the Properties, Improvements, Fixtures, Modifications, Equipment and all
components thereof, in each case in recordable form and otherwise in conformity
with local custom and free and clear of the Lien of this Lease (including
without limitation the release of any memoranda of Lease and/or the Lease
Supplement recorded in connection therewith) and any Lessor Liens. The
Properties shall be conveyed to Lessee "AS-IS, WHERE-IS" and in their then
present physical condition. Concurrent with such conveyance, Lessor shall assign
(free and clear of all Lessor Liens but subject to any and all other Liens) to
Lessee all right, title and interest of Lessor in and to the Indemnity Agreement
regarding matters and events arising from and after the date of such assignment
(provided, Lessor shall retain its right, title and interest in and to the
Indemnity Agreement regarding matters and events arising during the period when
Lessor held title to any Property). If any statute or rule of law shall limit
the amount of such final liquidated damages to less than the amount agreed upon,
Lessor shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such statute or
rule of law; provided, however, Lessee shall not be entitled to receive an
assignment of Lessor's interest in the Properties, the Improvements, Fixtures,
Modifications, Equipment or the components thereof unless Lessee shall have paid
in full the Termination Value. Lessee specifically acknowledges and agrees that
its obligations under this Section 17.6 shall be absolute and unconditional
under any and all circumstances and shall be paid and/or performed, as the case
may be, without notice or demand and without any abatement, reduction,
diminution, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever.

17.7 ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS.
If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
and whether or not this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section
17.1, Lessee shall pay directly to any third party (or at Lessor's election,
reimburse Lessor) for the cost of any environmental testing and/or remediation
work undertaken respecting any Property (subject to the provisions of Section
15.2(b)), as such testing or work is deemed appropriate in the reasonable
judgment of Lessor, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor and each other
Indemnified Person therefrom. Lessee shall pay all amounts referenced in the
immediately preceding sentence within ten (10) days of any request by Lessor for
such payment. The provisions of this Section 17.7 shall not limit the
obligations of Lessee under any Operative Agreement regarding indemnification
obligations, environmental testing, remediation and/or work.
17.8 WAIVER of Certain Rights.
If this Lease shall be terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, (a) any notice of re-entry or
the institution of legal proceedings to obtain re-entry or possession; (b) any
right of redemption, re-entry or possession; (c) the benefit of any laws now or
hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt; and
(d) any other rights which might otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor's
rights or remedies under this Article XVII.

over to Lessor all of Lessee's right, title and interest in and to each
agreement executed by Lessee in connection with the acquisition, installation,
testing, use, development, construction, operation, maintenance, repair,
refurbishment and restoration of the Properties (including without limitation
all right, title and interest of Lessee with respect to all warranty,
performance, service and indemnity provisions), as and to the extent that the
same relate to the acquisition, installation, testing, use, development,
construction, operation, maintenance, repair, refurbishment and restoration of
the Properties or any of them.

Lessor shall be entitled to enforce payment of all amounts and
performance of obligations evidenced hereby and to exercise all rights and
powers under this instrument or under any of the other Operative Agreements or
other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or
all of the obligations evidenced hereby may now or hereafter be otherwise
secured, whether by mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or
otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this instrument nor its enforcement, shall
prejudice or in any manner affect Lessor's right to realize upon or enforce any
other security now or hereafter held by the Lessor, it being agreed that Lessor
shall be entitled to enforce this instrument and any other security now or
hereafter held by Lessor in such order and manner as Lessor may
26

to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Operative
Agreements to Lessor or to which it may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised,
concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient by Lessor. In no event shall Lessor, in the exercise of the remedies
provided in this instrument, be deemed a "mortgagee in possession," and Lessor
shall not In any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or
omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.

Article XIV, and may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and
notwithstanding any right of quiet enjoyment in favor of Lessee, enter upon any
Property, and take all such action thereon as may be necessary or appropriate
therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of any lessee. All

by Lessee to Lessor on demand.

hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Expiration Date or (respecting the
Purchase Option only) any Payment Date, Lessee may give Lessor irrevocable
written notice (the "Election Notice") that Lessee is electing to exercise
either (a) the option to purchase all, but not less than all, the Properties on

in accordance with the Parcel Sale Requirements, the option to purchase at least
one year prior to the Expiration Date one or more, but less than all, the

remarket all, but not less than all, the Properties to a Person other than
Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee and cause a sale of such Properties to occur

Properties (or a portion of any Property), at Lessee's option and without the
consent of any Financing Party, Lessee may provide irrevocable written notice to
Lessor not less than one hundred twenty (120) days and no more than one hundred

(iii) and (iv), may be referred to as the "Parcel Sale Requirements"). To the
extent the Parcel Sale Requirements are satisfied, Lessor shall sell such
Property or portion of such Property to Lessee. If Lessee does not give an
Election Notice indicating the Purchase Option or the Sale Option at least one
hundred twenty (120) days and not more than one hundred eighty (180) days

the final Expiration Date, then Lessee shall be deemed to have elected the
Purchase Option. If Lessee shall either (i) elect (or be deemed to have elected)
to exercise the Purchase Option or (ii) elect the Sale Option and fail to cause
all, but not less than all, the Properties to be sold in accordance with the

Properties (which the parties do not intend to be a "bargain" purchase price)
and, upon receipt of such amounts and satisfaction of such obligations, Lessor
shall transfer to Lessee all of Lessor's
28
<PAGE> 33
right, title and interest in and to all, but not less than all, the Properties

purchase price).
Subject to Section 19.2, in connection with any termination of
this Lease with respect to any Property pursuant to the terms of Section 16.2,
or in connection with Lessee's exercise of its Purchase Option, upon the date on

Pre-Existing Environmental Conditions then being addressed by Raytheon or
Fairchild, pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement or the Purchase Agreement) which
could materially and adversely impact the Fair Market Sales Value of such
Property (with materiality determined in each case in Lessor's reasonable
discretion), then Lessee shall be obligated to purchase each such Property

necessary increases in the Available Commitments and the Available
Holder Commitments to fund such costs) or (iii) Lessee; provided,
amounts funded by the Lenders and the Holders with respect to the
foregoing shall be added to the Property Cost of each applicable
Property; provided, further, amounts funded by Lessee with respect to
the foregoing shall be a part of (and limited by) the Maximum Residual
Guarantee Amount. In the event that Lessor shall not have received such
environmental site assessments by the date sixty (60) days prior to the
Expiration Date or in the event that such environmental assessment
shall reveal the existence of any material violation of Environmental
Laws, other material Environmental Violation or potential material
Environmental Violation (with materiality determined in each case by
Lessor in its reasonable discretion) other than the Pre-Existing
Environmental Conditions, then Lessee on the Expiration Date shall pay

address of each prospective purchaser and the cash price which each
prospective purchaser shall have offered to pay for each such Property
and shall provide Lessor with such additional information about the
bids and the bid solicitation procedure as Lessor may reasonably
request from time to time. On the Sale Date, all Properties then
subject to this Lease shall be sold for one aggregate cash price amount
for all such Properties, without differentiation of such amount on a
Property-by-Property basis. All such prospective purchasers must be
Persons other than Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee. On the Sale Date,
Lessee shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Lessor and all other parties,
as appropriate, all Rent and all other amounts then due and payable or
accrued under this Lease and/or any other Operative Agreement and
Lessor (at the direction of the Agent) shall elect whether the costs
and expenses incurred by Lessor and/or the Agent respecting the sale of
one or more Properties shall be paid by either (i) sales proceeds from
the Properties, (ii) Lessor (but only the extent amounts are available
therefor with respect to the Available Commitments and the Available
Holder Commitments or each Lender and each Holder approves the
necessary increases in the Available Commitments and the Available
Holder Commitments to fund such costs and expenses) or (iii) Lessee;
provided, amounts funded by the Lenders and the Holders with respect to
such costs and expenses shall be added to the Property Cost of each
applicable Property; provided, further, amounts funded by Lessee with
respect to such costs and expenses shall be a part of (and limited by)
the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount.
Lessor may reject any and all bids and may solicit and obtain
bids by giving Lessee written notice to that effect; provided, however,
that notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor may not reject any bid
submitted by Lessee if such bid, in the aggregate, is greater than or
equal to the sum of the Limited Recourse Amount for all the Properties,
and represents a bona fide offer from one (1) or more third party
purchasers. If the highest price which a prospective purchaser or the
prospective purchasers shall have offered to pay for all the Properties
on the Sale Date is less than the sum of the Limited Recourse Amount
for all the Properties or if such bids do not represent bona fide
offers from one (1) or more third parties or if there are no bids,
Lessor may elect to retain one or more of the Properties by giving
Lessee at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice of Lessor's
election to retain the same, and promptly upon receipt of such notice,
Lessee shall surrender, or cause to be surrendered, each of the
Properties specified in such notice in accordance with the terms and
conditions of Section 10.1. If Lessor does not elect to retain all the
Properties, then Lessee shall cause the sale of all of the Properties
to be completed on the Sale Date in accordance with this Section 22.1
and the
31
<PAGE> 36
maximum liability of the Lessee with respect thereto shall be as
provided pursuant to Section 22.1(b). Upon acceptance of any bid.
Lessor agrees, at Lessee's request and expense, to execute a contract
of sale with respect to such sale, so long as the same Is consistent
with the terms of this Article 22 and provides by its terms that it is
nonrecourse to Lessor.
Unless Lessor shall have elected to retain one or more of the
Properties, pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph,
Lessee shall arrange for Lessor to sell all the Properties free and
clear of the Lien of this Lease and any Lessor Liens, without recourse
or warranty (of title or otherwise), for cash on the Sale Date to the
purchaser or purchasers offering the highest cash sales price, as
identified by Lessee or Lessor, as the case may be. To effect such
transfer and assignment, Lessor shall execute, acknowledge (where
required) and deliver to the appropriate purchaser each of the
following: (a) special or limited warranty Deeds conveying each such
Property (to the extent it is real property titled to Lessor) to the
appropriate purchaser free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the
Lien of the Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens; (b) a Bill of Sale
conveying each such Property (to the extent it is personal property)
titled to Lessor to the appropriate purchaser free and clear of the
Lien of this Lease, the Lien of the Credit Documents and any Lessor
Liens; (c) any real estate tax affidavit or other document required by
law to be executed and filed in order to record each Deed; and (d)
FIRPTA affidavits, as appropriate. All of the foregoing documentation
must be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee
shall surrender the Properties so sold or subject to such documents to
each purchaser in the condition specified in Section 10.1, or in such
other condition as may be agreed between Lessee and such purchaser.
Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall take or fail to take any action which
would have the effect of unreasonably discouraging bona fide third
party bids for any Property. If each of the Properties is not either
(i) sold on the Sale Date in accordance with the terms of this Section
22.1, or (ii) retained by Lessor pursuant to an affirmative election
made by Lessor pursuant to the second sentence of the second paragraph
of this Section 22.1 (a), then (x) Lessee shall be obligated to pay
Lessor on the Sale Date an amount equal to the aggregate Termination
Value for all the Properties less any sales proceeds received by the
Lessor, and (y) Lessor shall transfer each applicable Property to
Lessee in accordance with Section 20.2.
(b) If the Properties are sold on a Sale Date to one (1) or
more third party purchasers in accordance with the terms of Section
22.1(a) and the aggregate purchase price paid for all the Properties is
less than the sum of the aggregate Property Cost for all the Properties
(hereinafter such difference shall be referred to as the "Deficiency
Balance"), then Lessee hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Lessor
on the Sale Date all Rent and all other amounts then due and owing
pursuant to the Operative Agreements and the lesser of (i) the
Deficiency Balance, or (ii) the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount for
all the Properties. On a Sale Date if (x) Lessor receives the aggregate
Termination Value for all the Properties from one (1) or more third
party purchasers, (y) Lessor and such other parties receive all other
amounts specified in the last sentence of the first paragraph of
Section 22.1(a) and (z) the aggregate purchase price paid for all the
32
<PAGE> 37
Properties on such date plus the amount paid by Lessee to Lessor
pursuant to the terms of this Section 22.(b) exceeds the sum of the
aggregate Property Cost for all the Properties, then Lessor shall
promptly pay Lessee such excess. The obligation to pay any such excess
to Lessee shall survive the termination of this Lease. If one or more
of the Properties are retained by Lessor pursuant to an affirmative
election made by Lessor pursuant to the provisions of Section 22.1(a),
then Lessee hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Lessor on the
Sale Date all Rent and all other amounts then due and owing pursuant to
the Operative Agreements and an amount equal to the Maximum Residual
Guarantee Amount for the Properties so retained. Any payment of the
foregoing amounts described in this Section 22.1(b) shall be made
together with a payment of all other amounts referenced in the last
sentence of the first paragraph of Section 22.1 (a).
(c) In the event that all the Properties are either sold to
one (1) or more third party purchasers on the Sale Date or retained by
Lessor in connection with an affirmative election made by Lessor
pursuant to the provisions of Section 22.1(a), then in either case on
the applicable Sale Date Lessee shall provide Lessor or such third
party purchaser (unless otherwise agreed by such third party purchaser)
with (i) all non-proprietary permits, certificates of occupancy,
governmental licenses and authorizations necessary to use, operate,
repair, access and maintain each such Property for the purpose it is
being used by Lessee, and (ii) such non-proprietary manuals, permits,
easements, licenses, intellectual property, know-how, rights-of-way and
other rights and privileges in the nature of an easement as are
reasonably necessary or desirable in connection with the use,
operation, repair, access to or maintenance of each such Property for
its intended purpose or otherwise as Lessor or such third party
purchaser(s) shall reasonably request (and a royalty-free license or
similar agreement to effectuate the foregoing on terms reasonably
agreeable to Lessor or such third party purchasers), as applicable).
All such assignments, licenses, easements, agreements and other
deliveries required by clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph (c) shall
be in form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor or such third party
purchaser(s), as applicable, and shall be fully assignable (including
without limitation both primary assignments and assignments given in
the nature of security) without payment of any fee, cost or other
charge.
22.2 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF SALE.
In the event Lessee receives any proceeds of sale of any
Property, such proceeds shall be deemed to have been received in trust
on behalf of Lessor and Lessee shall promptly remit such proceeds to
Lessor. Lessor shall apply the proceeds of sale of any Property in the
following order of priority:
(a) FIRST, to pay or to reimburse Lessor (and/or the Agent, as
the case may be) for the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Lessor (and/or the Agent, as the case may be) in connection
with the sale (to the extent Lessee has not satisfied its obligation to
pay such costs and expenses);
33
<PAGE> 38
(b) SECOND, so long as the Credit Agreement is in effect and
any Loans or Holder Advances or any amount is owing to the Financing
Parties under any Operative Agreement, to the Agent to be applied
pursuant to intercreditor provisions among Lessor, the Lenders and the
Holders contained in the Operative Agreements; and
(c) THIRD, to Lessee.
22.3 INDEMNITY FOR EXCESSIVE WEAR.
If the proceeds of the sale described in Section 22.1 with respect to
the Properties shall be less than the Limited Recourse Amount with respect to
the Properties, and at the time of such sale it shall have been reasonably
determined (pursuant to the Appraisal Procedure) that the Fair Market Sales
Value of the Properties shall have been impaired by greater than normal and
expected wear and tear during the term of the Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor
within ten (10) days after receipt of Lessor's written statement (i) the amount
of such excess wear and tear determined by the Appraisal Procedure or (ii) the
amount of the Sale Proceeds Shortfall, whichever amount is less.
22.4 APPRAISAL PROCEDURE.
For determining the Fair Market Sales Value of the Properties or any
other amount which may, pursuant to any provision of any Operative Agreement, be
determined by an appraisal procedure, Lessor and Lessee shall use the following
procedure (the "Appraisal Procedure"). Lessor and Lessee shall endeavor to reach
a mutual agreement as to such amount for a period of ten (10) days from
commencement of the Appraisal Procedure under the applicable section of the
Lease, and if they cannot agree within ten (10) days, then two (2) qualified
appraisers, one (1) chosen by Lessee and one (1) chosen by Lessor, shall
mutually agree thereupon, but if either party shall fail to choose an appraiser
within twenty (20) days after notice from the other party of the selection of
its appraiser, then the appraisal by such appointed appraiser shall be binding
on Lessee and Lessor. If the two (2) appraisers cannot agree within twenty (20)
days after both shall have been appointed, then a third appraiser shall be
selected by the two (2) appraisers or, failing agreement as to such third
appraiser within thirty (30) days after both shall have been appointed, by the
American Arbitration Association. The decisions of the three (3) appraisers
shall be given within twenty (20) days of the appointment of the third appraiser
and the decision of the appraiser most different from the average of the other
two (2) shall be discarded and such average shall be binding on Lessor and
Lessee; provided, that if the highest appraisal and the lowest appraisal are
equidistant from the third appraisal, the third appraisal shall be binding on
Lessor and Lessee. The fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by Lessee
shall be paid by Lessee; the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by
Lessor shall be paid by Lessor (such fees and expenses not being indemnified
pursuant to Section 11 of the Participation Agreement); and the fees and
expenses of the third appraiser shall be divided equally between Lessee and
Lessor.
34
<PAGE> 39
22.5 CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS CONTINUE.
During the Marketing Period, the obligation of Lessee to pay Rent with
respect to the Properties (including without limitation the installment of Basic
Rent due on the Expiration Date) shall continue undiminished until payment in
full to Lessor of the sale proceeds, if any, the Maximum Residual Guarantee
Amount, the amount due under Section 22.3, if any, and all other amounts due to
Lessor or any other Person with respect to all Properties or any Operative
Agreement. Lessor shall have the right, but shall be under no duty, to solicit
bids, to inquire into the efforts of Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise to take
action in connection with any such sale, other than as expressly provided in
this Article XXII.
ARTICLE XXIII
23.1 HOLDING OVER.
If Lessee shall for any reason remain in possession of a Property after
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease as to such Property (unless
such Property is conveyed to Lessee), such possession shall be as a tenancy at
sufferance during which time Lessee shall continue to pay Supplemental Rent that
would be payable by Lessee hereunder were the Lease then in full force and
effect with respect to such Property and Lessee shall continue to pay Basic Rent
at the lesser of the highest lawful rate and one hundred ten percent (110%) of
the last payment of Basic Rent due with respect to such Property prior to such
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Such Basic Rent shall be
payable from time to time upon demand by Lessor and such additional amount of
Basic Rent shall be applied by Lessor ratably to the Lenders and the Holders
based on their relative amounts of the then outstanding aggregate Property Cost
for all Properties. During any period of tenancy at sufferance, Lessee shall,
subject to the second preceding sentence, be obligated to perform and observe
all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall have no
rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by law to tenants at
sufferance, to continue their occupancy and use of such Property. Nothing
contained in this Article XXIII shall constitute the consent, express or
implied, of Lessor to the holding over of Lessee after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease as to any Property (unless such Property is conveyed
to Lessee) and nothing contained herein shall be read or construed as preventing
Lessor from maintaining a suit for possession of such Property or exercising any
other remedy available to Lessor at law or in equity.
ARTICLE XXIV
24.1 RISK OF LOSS.
Subject to the terms and limitations of the Agency Agreement, during
the Term, unless Lessee shall not be in actual possession of any Property in
question solely by reason of Lessor's exercise of its remedies of dispossession
under Article XVII, the risk of loss or decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial
use of such Property as a result of the damage or destruction
35
<PAGE> 40
thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or otherwise is
assumed by Lessee, and Lessor shall in no event be answerable or accountable
therefor, except for Lessor's obligation to advance in accordance with the terms
of this Lease insurance proceeds received by Lessor pursuant to the coverages
referenced in Article XIV.
ARTICLE XXV
25.1 ASSIGNMENT.
(a) Lessee may not assign this Lease or any of its rights or
obligations hereunder or with respect to any Property in whole or in
part to any Person (other than to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Lessee
or the Parent) without the prior written consent of the Agent, the
Lenders, the Holders and Lessor.
(b) No assignment by Lessee (referenced in this Section 25.1
or otherwise) or other relinquishment of possession to any Property
shall in any way discharge or diminish any of the obligations of Lessee
to Lessor hereunder and Lessee shall remain directly and primarily
liable under the Operative Agreements as to any rights or obligations
assigned by Lessee or regarding any Property in which rights or
obligations have been assigned or otherwise transferred.
25.2 SUBLEASES.
(a) Promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days,
following the execution and delivery of any sublease permitted by this
Article XXV, Lessee shall notify Lessor of the execution of such
sublease and shall collaterally assign such sublease to the Lessor as
security for Lessee's obligations hereunder and under any other
Operative Agreement. Any such collateral assignment shall be in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to the Lessor and the Agent. As of
the date of each Lease Supplement, Lessee shall lease the respective
Properties described in such Lease Supplement from Lessor, and any
existing tenant respecting such Property shall automatically be deemed
to be a subtenant of Lessee and not a tenant of Lessor.
(b) Without the prior written consent of the Agent, any
Lender, any Holder or Lessor and subject to the other provisions of
this Section 25.2, Lessee may sublet (i) any Property or portion
thereof to any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Lessee and (ii) up to 50% of
the Properties (based on the square footage of the Improvements
constituting a Permitted Facility) then subject to this Lease to any
Person which is not an Affiliate of Lessee. Except as referenced in the
immediately preceding sentence, no other subleases shall be permitted
unless consented to in writing by Lessor which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. All subleasing shall be done on
market terms and shall in no way diminish the fair market value or
useful life of any applicable Property.
36
<PAGE> 41
(c) No sublease (referenced in this Section 25.2 or otherwise)
or other relinquishment of possession to any Property shall in any way
discharge or diminish any of Lessee's obligations to Lessor hereunder
or diminish the fair market value of any Property. Lessee shall remain
directly and primarily liable under this Lease as to such Property, or
portion thereof, so sublet. During the Basic Term, the term of any such
sublease shall not extend beyond the Basic Term. During any Renewal
Term, the term of any such sublease shall not extend beyond such
Renewal Term. Each sublease shall be expressly subject and subordinate
to this Lease.
ARTICLE XXVI
26.1 NO WAIVER.
No failure by Lessor or Lessee to insist upon the strict performance of
any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy upon a default
hereunder, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during the
continuance of any such default, shall constitute a waiver of any such default
or of any such term. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no waiver of any
default shall affect or alter this Lease, and this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent default.
ARTICLE XXVII
27.1 ACCEPTANCE OF SURRENDER.
No surrender to Lessor of this Lease or of all or any portion of any
Property or of any part of any thereof or of any interest therein shall be valid
or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Lessor and no act by
Lessor or the Agent or any representative or agent of Lessor or the Agent, other
than a written acceptance, shall constitute an acceptance of any such surrender.
27.2 NO MERGER OF TITLE.
There shall be no merger of this Lease or of the leasehold estate
created hereby by reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire, own or
hold, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, (a) this Lease or the
leasehold estate created hereby or any interest in this Lease or such leasehold
estate, (b) any right, title or interest in any Property, (c) any Notes, or (d)
a beneficial interest in Lessor.

claims against and liabilities of Lessee or Lessor arising from events
commencing prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall
survive such expiration or earlier termination. If any provision of this Lease
shall be held to be unenforceable in any Jurisdiction, such unenforceability
shall not affect the enforceability of any other provision of this Lease and

30.7 CALCULATION OF RENT.

the actual number of days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty (360) days
or, to the extent such Rent is based on the Prime Lending Rate, three hundred
sixty-five (365) (or three hundred sixty-six (366), as applicable) days.
30.8 MEMORANDA OF LEASE AND LEASE SUPPLEMENTS.

IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO CONFORM TO AND CONTRACT IN
STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE USURY LAW FROM TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT. TO THE
EXTENT ANY RENT OR PAYMENTS HEREUNDER ARE HEREINAFTER CHARACTERIZED BY ANY COURT
OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION AS THE REPAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST THEREON,
THIS SECTION 30.14 SHALL APPLY. ANY SUCH RENT OR PAYMENTS SO CHARACTERIZED AS
INTEREST MAY BE REFERRED TO HEREIN AS "INTEREST." ALL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE
PARTIES HERETO ARE HEREBY LIMITED BY THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH WHICH

40
<PAGE> 45
AGREEMENTS, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER WRITTEN OR
ORAL. IN NO WAY, NOR IN ANY EVENT OR CONTINGENCY (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
PREPAYMENT OR ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY OF ANY OBLIGATION), SHALL ANY
INTEREST TAKEN, RESERVED, CONTRACTED FOR, CHARGED, OR RECEIVED UNDER THIS LEASE
OR OTHERWISE. EXCEED THE MAXIMUM NONUSURIOUS AMOUNT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE
LAW. IF, FROM ANY POSSIBLE CONSTRUCTION OF ANY OF THE OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS OR
ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT, INTEREST WOULD OTHERWISE BE PAYABLE IN EXCESS
OF THE MAXIMUM NONUSURIOUS AMOUNT, ANY SUCH CONSTRUCTION SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH AND SUCH AMOUNTS UNDER SUCH DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS
SHALL BE AUTOMATICALLY REDUCED TO THE MAXIMUM NONUSURIOUS AMOUNT PERMITTED UNDER
APPLICABLE LAW, WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF EXECUTION OF ANY AMENDMENT OR NEW
DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT. IF LESSOR SHALL EVER RECEIVE ANYTHING OF VALUE WHICH IS
CHARACTERIZED AS INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE OBLIGATIONS OWED HEREUNDER OR
UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AND WHICH WOULD, APART FROM THIS PROVISION, BE IN EXCESS OF
THE MAXIMUM LAWFUL AMOUNT, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN
EXCESSIVE INTEREST SHALL, WITHOUT PENALTY, BE APPLIED TO THE REDUCTION OF THE
COMPONENT OF PAYMENTS DEEMED TO BE PRINCIPAL AND NOT TO THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST,
OR REFUNDED TO LESSEE OR ANY OTHER PAYOR THEREOF, IF AND TO THE EXTENT SUCH
AMOUNT WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN EXCESSIVE EXCEEDS THE COMPONENT OF PAYMENTS DEEMED
TO BE PRINCIPAL. THE RIGHT TO DEMAND PAYMENT OF ANY AMOUNTS EVIDENCED BY ANY OF
THE OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE ANY INTEREST
WHICH HAS NOT OTHERWISE ACCRUED ON THE DATE OF SUCH DEMAND, AND LESSOR DOES NOT
INTEND TO CHARGE OR RECEIVE ANY UNEARNED INTEREST IN THE EVENT OF SUCH DEMAND.
ALL INTEREST PAID OR AGREED TO BE PAID TO LESSOR SHALL, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, BE AMORTIZED, PRORATED, ALLOCATED, AND SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE
FULL STATED TERM (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY RENEWAL OR EXTENSION) OF THIS
LEASE SO THAT THE AMOUNT OF INTEREST ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH PAYMENTS DOES NOT EXCEED
THE MAXIMUM NONUSURIOUS AMOUNT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS; RULES OF Usage. For purposes of this Lease
