ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
(a) On January 13, 1998, TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("TriQuint" or the "Company") acquired substantially all of the
assets of the Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit ("MMIC") operations of
the former Texas Instruments' Defense Systems & Electronics Group from
Raytheon TI Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("RTIS") and a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Raytheon Company ("Raytheon"). The MMIC operations include
the Gallium Arsenide ("GaAs") foundry and MMIC business of the R/F Microwave
Business Unit that RTIS acquired on July 11, 1997 from Texas Instruments
Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("TI") which MMIC business includes
without limitation, TI's GaAs Operations Group, TI's Microwave GaAs Products
Business Unit, the MMIC component of TI's Microwave GaAs Products Business
Unit, the MMIC component of TI's Microwave Integrated Circuits Center of
Excellence and the MMIC research and development component of TI's Systems
Component Research Laboratory (collectively, the "MMIC Business").
Pursuant to a Final Judgment entered on November 6, 1997 (the "FINAL
JUDGMENT") in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia
in Civil Case No. 97-1515 known as UNITED STATES OF AMERICA V. RAYTHEON
COMPANY AND TEXAS INSTRUMENTS, INC., a related Stipulation and Order entered
in the same case on July 2, 1997, and a related Hold Separate and Partition
Plan Stipulation and Order entered in the same case on July 2, 1997 (the
"HOLD SEPARATE ORDER"), Raytheon agreed to promptly divest the MMIC Business
and, pending such divestiture, to maintain the MMIC Business as an
independent competitor held separate from Raytheon.
Pursuant to and in accordance with the Final Judgment, an Asset
Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") was entered into, dated as of January 8,
1998, by and between the Company and RTIS. The Company has assigned its
rights under the Agreement to a wholly owned subsidiary, TriQuint
Semiconductor Texas, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which will operate the
MMIC Business, located primarily in Dallas, Texas.
Under the terms of the Agreement, TriQuint acquired the MMIC Business
for approximately $19.5 million in cash and 844,613 shares of TriQuint Common
Stock (the "Shares") valued at approximately $19,500,000 for total purchase
consideration of approximately $39 million. The Shares are redeemable at
TriQuint's option at any time within 360 days of January 13, 1998 at a price
of approximately $23 per share. The cash portion of the purchase price was
financed through an equipment leasing arrangement through General Electric
Capital Corporation involving certain assets acquired pursuant to the
Agreement. The terms of the Agreement were the result of arm's-length
negotiations between the parties.
In connection with its approval of the transaction, the Department of
Justice required that RTIS place all the Shares into a voting trust in order
to divest itself of voting power with respect to the Shares. Accordingly, on
January 13, 1998, RTIS entered into a Voting Trust Agreement with State
Street Bank and Trust Company, a Massachusetts trust company ("State
Street"), under which, for any matter for which any vote or consent is
requested from holders of TriQuint Common Stock,
-2-
<PAGE>
State Street will vote the Shares as nearly as practicable in the same
proportion as the other holders of TriQuint Common Stock.
(b) The MMIC Business designs, develops, produces and sells advanced
high power and low noise GaAs MMIC products. The MMIC Business has an
established GaAs operation capable of developing, designing and producing
advanced GaAs MMICs used in defense and commercial applications. In the area
of defense applications, the MMIC Business supplies military contractors with
MMIC products and services for applications such as high power amplifiers,
low noise amplifiers, switches and attenuators for active array radar,
missiles, electronic warfare systems and space communications systems. In
commercial applications, the MMIC Business provides products and services for
wireless and space-based communication. The Company intends to continue such
business.

the Cash Portion shall consist of (x) $39,000,000 LESS (y) the value, based

limitation, in all federal, foreign, state, local and other Tax Returns (as
defined in Article 17) prepared and filed by or for either of the Buyer or
the Seller, in accordance with the basis of allocation set forth on SCHEDULE

3.2. PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENTS.
(a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Seller
shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer an audited statement of the Acquired
Assets and Assumed Obligations for the MMIC Business as of the close of
business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the "CLOSING
BALANCE SHEET"). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance
with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the October Balance Sheet (as
defined in Section 5.5), except that the Closing Balance Sheet (i) will be
prepared in accordance with the accounting procedures set forth on SCHEDULE
3.2(a) hereto, (ii) will not include any cash or cash equivalents of the
MMIC Business, (iii) will not have an accrual for Income Taxes payable by
the Seller and (iv) will not contain any intercompany accounts.
(b) When the Seller delivers the Closing Balance Sheet, the
Seller shall also deliver a certificate (i) certifying that the Closing
Balance Sheet was prepared in accordance with paragraph (a) above, and
(ii) containing the Seller's calculations, based on the Closing Balance
Sheet and calculated in a manner consistent with the Model Statement (as
defined below) (the "SELLER'S PROPOSED CALCULATIONS"), of the Net Assets as
of the Closing Date. As used in this Agreement "NET ASSETS" means the
difference of (x) the book value of the total assets of the MMIC Business
(including, without limitation, equipment, accounts receivable, inventory,
prepaid expenses and deferred charges, but excluding cash and cash
equivalents and intercompany accounts) constituting part of the Acquired
Assets less (y) the book value of the total liabilities of the
<PAGE>
-7-
MMIC Business (including, without limitation accounts payable and accrued
expenses, but excluding pension and accumulated post-retirement benefits,
intercompany accounts and retained earnings) constituting part of the
Assumed Obligations. Attached hereto as SCHEDULE 3.2(B) is a preliminary
statement of Net Assets as of October 31, 1997, based upon the balance
sheet of the MMIC Business as of October 31, 1997 and the procedures for
calculating Net Assets as provided above (the "MODEL STATEMENT").
(c) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Closing Balance
Sheet and the accompanying certificate, the Buyer shall notify the Seller
of its agreement or disagreement with the Closing Balance Sheet and the
accuracy of any of the Seller's Proposed Calculations; PROVIDED, that the
Buyer may only dispute the Closing Balance Sheet and the Seller's Proposed
Calculations to the extent that they deviate from the requirements of
paragraphs (a) and (b) above. If the Buyer disputes any such aspect of the
Closing Balance Sheet or the amount of any of the Seller's Proposed
Calculations, then the Buyer shall have the right to direct its independent
accountants, at the Buyer's expense, to review and test the Closing Balance
Sheet. The Buyer's accountants shall complete their review and test within
thirty (30) days after the date the Buyer disputes the Seller's Proposed
Calculations. If the Buyer and its independent accountants, after such
review and test, still disagree with the Seller's Proposed Calculations,
and the Seller does not accept the Buyer's proposed alternative
calculations (the "BUYER'S PROPOSED CALCULATIONS"), then, within thirty
(30) days after the date of the Seller's rejection of the Buyer's Proposed
Calculations, the Seller and the Buyer shall select a third nationally
recognized independent accounting firm (the "INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM")
to resolve the remaining disputed items (the "REMAINING DISPUTED ITEMS") by
conducting its own review and test of the Closing Balance Sheet and
thereafter selecting either the Buyer's Proposed Calculation of the
Remaining Disputed Items or the Seller's Proposed Calculation of the
Remaining Disputed Items or an amount in between the two. The Independent
Accounting Firm shall be instructed (i) that the scope of its review shall
be limited solely to the Remaining Disputed Items, (ii) that it shall
accept the Closing Balance Sheet and the Seller's Proposed Calculations
except to the extent that they deviate from the requirements of
paragraphs (a) and (b) above, and (iii) that it is to use every reasonable
effort to complete such assignment and deliver copies of such opinion and,
if required, a revised Closing Balance Sheet to the Buyer and the Seller
within thirty (30) days following the date such Remaining Disputed Items
are referred to it. The Buyer and the Seller agree that they shall be
bound by the determination of the Remaining Disputed Items by the
Independent Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Independent
Accounting Firm shall be paid jointly by the Buyer and the Seller.

(d) Upon the determination pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
Section 3.2 of the definitive Closing Balance Sheet and the Net Assets as
of the Closing Date, the Purchase Price shall be either (i) increased by
the amount, if any, by which the amount of Net Assets is greater than
$23,637,000 or (ii) decreased by the amount, if any, by which the amount of
Net Assets is less than $23,437,000 (the "ADJUSTMENT"). If the Purchase
Price is increased, the Buyer shall pay such amount to the Seller, and if
the Purchase Price is decreased, the Seller shall pay such amount to the
Buyer. Any such payment shall be made in cash or same day funds within ten
(10) days after the determination of the Adjustment pursuant to paragraph
(c). Any such payment shall bear interest at a rate equal to the "Prime
Rate" as set forth from time to time in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL "Money
Rates" column from the Closing Date to the date preceding payment.
3.3. CALL OPTION ON SHARES. For a period of 180 days after the Closing
Date, the Buyer may, at its option, repurchase from the Seller, and the Seller
will at the request of the Buyer sell to the Buyer, all (but not less than all)
of the Shares constituting the Stock Portion at a purchase price equal to
$19,500,000 (or, in the event that the proviso to the second sentence of Section
3.1 is applicable, such lesser amount corresponding to the value, based on the
Closing Trading Price, of the Shares constituting the Stock Portion) (the "CALL
PRICE"). By written notice to the Seller received not later than the 180th day
after the Closing Date, the Buyer may extend such period for an additional 180
days after such 180th day after the Closing Date, provided that the Buyer shall
pay the Seller interest on a monthly basis at the daily rate equivalent of 1%
per month on the amount of the Call Price for the portion of such additional 180
day period during which the Shares constituting the Stock Portion have not been
repurchased. The Buyer's call rights under this Section 3.3 shall be
exercisable by the Buyer by written notice to the Seller specifying the date and
time of a closing for the repurchase (the "CALL NOTICE"), which shall be held at
the offices of Bingham Dana LLP, 150 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts, not
earlier than five (5) days nor later than ten (10) days after delivery of the
Call Notice to the Seller. The receipt of a Call Notice by the Seller shall
constitute a binding agreement of the Buyer to purchase the Shares constituting
the Stock Portion from the Seller in accordance with this Section 3.3. At the
closing of the call option, the Buyer shall pay the Seller the Call Price (plus
any accrued but unpaid interest thereon in accordance with this Section 3.3) in
cash or by wire transfer of same day funds, in exchange for the transfer of the
Shares constituting the Stock Portion from the Seller to the Buyer. The Buyer's
call rights set forth in this Section 3.3 shall lapse if not exercised within
the time periods specified above in accordance with the provisions hereof.
3.4. DELAY IN DEMAND REGISTRATION. In the event that (i) the Seller, at
any time after the 180th day after the Closing, requests the Buyer in writing to
file a registration statement with respect to any of the Shares pursuant to
Section 2 of the Amended Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) the Buyer requests
that the filing of
<PAGE>
-9-
such registration statement be delayed for a period not in excess of 180 days by
delivery to the Seller of a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of
the Buyer pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) of the Amended Registration Rights
Agreement stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it
would be seriously detrimental to the Buyer and its shareholders for such
registration statement to be filed and that it is therefore essential to defer
the filing of such registration statement, and (iii) the Buyer has not extended
its call option under Section 3.3 for an additional 180 days after the 180th day
after the Closing Date and is therefore not paying the Seller interest as
contemplated by Section 3.3, the Buyer shall pay the Seller interest on a
monthly basis at the daily rate equivalent of 1% per month on the amount of the
Call Price for the period of such delay.

5.11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. (a) SCHEDULE 5.11 hereto sets forth a list
of the patents, pending patent applications, invention disclosures and mask

the Closing Date, have the right to use, hold for use or otherwise exploit (to
the extent set forth in the Intellectual Property Agreement) all the MMIC
Business Intellectual Property, whether or not set forth in SCHEDULE 5.11, in a
manner not materially different than that in which such MMIC Business
Intellectual Property is or may be used, held for use or otherwise exploited by
the Seller in the MMIC Business as of the date hereof and as of the Closing
Date. The Seller and the Buyer acknowledge that the foregoing representation
and warranty is not intended to act as a limitation on the use by the Buyer of
the MMIC Business Intellectual Property.
(b) The Seller owns or has the right to use all material MMIC Business
Intellectual Property on the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. The MMIC
Business Intellectual Property is not subject to any material Encumbrances,

confidentiality and value of the material MMIC Business Intellectual Property.
To the knowledge of the Seller, no material MMIC Business Intellectual Property

the benefit of any Person other than the Seller, except where such use,
divulgence or appropriation would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a

a violation, infringement, misuse or misappropriation by others of rights of the
Seller to or in connection with any material MMIC Business Intellectual
Property.

misuse or misappropriation by the Seller in connection with the MMIC Business of
any patents, trademarks, copyrights, mask works or trade secrets owned by any
third Person, or of the invalidity of any patent included in the MMIC Business
Intellectual Property, that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Seller, the conduct of the
MMIC Business by the Buyer following the Closing in the manner currently
conducted by the Seller will not result in the infringement of any patent,
trademark, copyright, mask work or trade secret owned by any third Person that
would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. There
are no interferences or other contested inter partes proceedings, either pending
or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened, in any domestic or foreign

thereto would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(iii) Since December 31, 1994, no notice, notification, demand,
request for information, citation, summons, complaint or order has been
received by the Seller or, to the knowledge of the Seller, is pending or
threatened by any Person against, any part of the MMIC Business nor has any
material penalty been assessed against any part of the MMIC Business with
respect to any alleged violation of any Environmental Law or liability

Material Adverse Effect.

respect to the MMIC Business with respect to any matter which has had or would,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.18. BROKERS. Except for Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, whose

date of this Agreement there are no pending or, to the Seller's knowledge,
threatened audits, examinations, assessments, asserted deficiencies or claims
for additional Taxes with respect to the Seller. There are (and as of the
Closing there will be) no Encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances,
relating to or attributable to Taxes, which if adversely determined, would
result in an Encumbrance, other than a Permitted Encumbrance, on the Acquired
Assets or would otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect upon the MMIC Business.

(i) As of October 31, 1997, the Seller did not have any liability or
obligation (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) primarily related to the
MMIC Business of a nature required by GAAP to be reflected on the October Income
Statement or October Balance Sheet or disclosed in the notes thereto, and from
October 31, 1997 to the date of this Agreement the Seller has not incurred any
liability primarily related to the MMIC Business, in each case except:
(i) liabilities stated or adequately reserved against in the October Balance

where and as such MMIC Business is conducted ("LICENSES") are, and will be

5.23. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.
(a) PURCHASE ENTIRELY FOR OWN ACCOUNT. This Agreement is made with the
Seller in reliance upon the Seller's representation to the Buyer, which by the
Seller's execution of this Agreement the Seller hereby confirms, that the Shares
to be acquired by the Seller will be acquired for investment for the Seller's
own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or
distribution of any part thereof except pursuant to the Amended Registration
Rights Agreement or the call option referred to in Section 3.3 hereof and that
the Seller has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in,
or otherwise distributing the same, except pursuant to the Amended Registration
Rights Agreement or the call option referred to in Section 3.3 hereof.
(b) DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. The Seller represents that it has had
an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Buyer regarding the
terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The
foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties
of the Buyer in Article 6 of this Agreement or the right of the Seller to rely
thereon.
(c) INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. The Seller understands that the Shares have
not been, and prior to an appropriate registration statement's becoming
effective will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "SECURITIES ACT"), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration
provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the
bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Seller's
representations as expressed herein. The Seller acknowledges that it is able to
fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares.
(d) LEGENDS. The Seller understands that the Shares may bear one or
all of the following legends:
(i) "THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR
SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A
REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE
SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."
(ii). Any legend required by the Blue Sky laws of any state to the
extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by
the certificate so legended.
<PAGE>
-21-
A certificate shall not bear such legends if in the opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer the securities represented thereby
may be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities laws.
(e) RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The Seller understands that the Shares are
characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws
inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Buyer in a transaction not
involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations
such Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in
certain limited circumstances. The Seller acknowledges that the Shares must be
held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an
exemption from such registration is available.
(f) ACCREDITED INVESTOR. The Seller is an accredited investor as
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

complete copies of all Buyer SEC Reports. None of the Buyer SEC Reports, as of
their respective dates, contained any untrue statement of material fact or

of the Buyer and its subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof, and the
other related statements (including the related notes) included therein present

conformity with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied
during the periods involved, except as otherwise noted therein and subject, in

accepted accounting principles consistently applied during the period involved

its subsidiaries has been conducted only in the ordinary course, consistent with
past practice, and neither the Buyer nor any subsidiary of the Buyer has entered
into any material transaction other than in the ordinary course, consistent with
past practice, and there has not been any change in the condition (financial or
otherwise), results of operations, assets, liabilities or business of the Buyer
other than changes arising in the ordinary course of business consistent with
past practices, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or is
reasonably expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business,
operations, assets, liabilities or financial condition of the Buyer and its

obligation of the Buyer, enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with its
terms, and the Buyer is in compliance with all terms and conditions thereof.

employment offers from the MMIC Business at Closing, except for any persons
listed on SCHEDULE 11.1 (as such schedule may be updated by the
<PAGE>
-32-
Buyer at the Closing, provided that the total number does not exceed 32).
All such offers shall be for the same pay and comparable benefits as those
in effect at Closing. Such offers and the benefits to be provided to the
Assumed Employees shall recognize the date of hire and time of service with
the Seller for all purposes. All employees accepting such offers are
referred to in this Agreement as "ASSUMED EMPLOYEES" and their employment
with the Buyer will be deemed to have commenced immediately after 11:59
p.m., Dallas local time, on the Closing Date.
(b) The Buyer agrees that, for a period of 60 days after the

suffer "employment loss" for purposes of the Worker Adjustment and
Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. Sections 2101-2109, and related
regulations (the "WARN ACT") if such employment loss could create any
liability for the Seller, unless the Buyer delivers notices under the WARN

with respect thereto.
(c) Subject to the Seller having obtained the prior written
consent of the DOJ to rehire employees of the MMIC Business pursuant to

employment to up to 32 (LESS the number of employees listed on SCHEDULE
11.1, as such schedule may be updated by the Buyer at the Closing) of the
Assumed Employees, with such employees to be designated by the Buyer in the
notice. All such offers shall be for the same pay and comparable benefits
as in effect at the Closing. The persons accepting the Seller's offers of
employment are referred to herein as the "REHIRED EMPLOYEES". In the event
any persons designated by the Buyer for rehiring do not accept the Seller's
employment offer, if the Buyer within the next thirty (30) days terminates
such employees' employment and the Buyer is responsible for severance to
such employees consistent with Section 11.2(b) below, the Seller shall

Seller designate up to 32 (LESS the number of employees listed on SCHEDULE
11.1, as such schedule may be updated by the Buyer at the Closing) of the
Assumed Employees that the Buyer intends to terminate within the next
thirty (30) days. In the event that the Buyer within such thirty (30) day

11.2. BENEFIT PLANS GENERALLY.
(a) LIABILITIES GENERALLY. Except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, Seller shall retain exclusive liability and responsibility for
providing any and all benefits due and payable to or in respect of all
employees of the MMIC Business and related participants and beneficiaries
under any ERISA Plan or Non-ERISA Plan in accordance with the terms of such
plans and applicable law.
(b) BENEFITS MAINTENANCE. Commencing as of the Closing Date and
continuing through December 31, 1998 (the "BENEFITS CONTINUATION PERIOD"),
with respect to the Assumed Employees and dependents and beneficiaries
thereof, Buyer shall provide compensation, employee welfare plans,
stock-based incentive plans and other employee benefits which are
substantially comparable in the aggregate to the compensation paid by the
Seller, and the plans and other benefits provided (without application of
any exclusion for a pre-existing condition) by applicable ERISA and
Non-ERISA Plans, immediately prior to the Closing Date, valuing any
stock-based compensation, for this purpose, under any reasonable method;
PROVIDED, that nothing herein shall be construed to require the Buyer to
provide Assumed Employees with any pension benefits or retiree medical
benefits. During the Benefits Continuation Period, the Buyer shall
maintain severance, reduction-in-force and pay-in-lieu-of-notice benefits
for the Assumed Employees no less favorable than the severance,
reduction-in-force and pay-in-lieu of notice benefits provided to such
Assumed Employees by Seller immediately prior to the Closing Date and
disclosed on SCHEDULE 5.10(a) or (b).
11.3 SAVINGS PLAN. The Seller will retain all liability and
responsibility for the disposition of interests under the Raytheon TI Systems
Savings Plan (the "SAVINGS PLAN"), with respect to those employees (or their
beneficiaries) of the MMIC Business who, as of the Closing Date, are
participants in the Savings Plan. The Seller agrees that it will cause the
accounts in the Savings Plan of all such participants to be fully vested as of
the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller shall amend the
Savings Plan if and as necessary (i) to cause the active participation of the
Assumed Employees therein to cease as of the Closing Date, and (ii) to permit
Assumed Employees to elect to take distributions (subject to applicable law) of
their accounts thereunder and, if such Assumed Employees so elect, to roll them
over, directly or otherwise, in accordance with applicable law and regulations,
to an individual retirement account or to one or more defined contribution
retirement plans qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (the "BUYER DEFINED
CONTRIBUTION PLANS") and maintained by Buyer or one of its subsidiaries, and the
Buyer Defined Contribution Plans shall accept such rollovers (including to the
extent practicable any plan loans).
11.4 PENSION PLANS. The Seller will retain all liability and
responsibility for the disposition of interests under the Raytheon TI Systems
Employees Pension Plan and the Raytheon TI Systems Supplemental Pension Plan
(collectively, the "PENSION
<PAGE>
-34-
PLANS"), with respect to those employees (or their beneficiaries) of the MMIC
Business who, as of the Closing Date, are participants in either of the Pension
Plans. Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller shall amend the Pension Plans
to recognize as service with the Seller for all plan purposes the service of the
Assumed Employees with the Buyer, if any, in the Benefits Continuation Period,
to recognize as compensation paid by the Seller any compensation paid the
Assumed Employees by the Buyer for services rendered in the Benefits
Continuation Period, and to recognize, for those Assumed Employees who have at
least 15 years of service and are at least age 50 as of the Closing Date, the
Seller's "Bridge to Retirement" additional service time benefit, provided the
Buyer shall have timely complied with any information request the Seller shall
reasonably make to effect all such recognitions. The Seller further agrees that
it will cause the accrued benefit of each such employee under the Pension Plans
as of the Closing Date and through the Benefits Continuation Period to be fully
vested as of the Closing Date.
11.5 INCENTIVE PLANS. Attached as SCHEDULE 11.5 hereto is a description
of the Seller's internal sales and marketing incentive plans and retention
agreements (the "INCENTIVE PLANS"). The Buyer agrees to assume as part of the
Assumed Obligations the Seller's obligations under the Incentive Plans,
including with respect to the retention agreements Seller's obligations for the
current plan year. With respect to any amounts to be paid with respect to 1997,
the Seller will pay the amounts due (as set forth in Schedule 11.5) without
giving effect to any plan requirement that the Assumed Employees remain
employees of the Seller as of February 1, 1998. The Seller agrees to either
reimburse the Buyer in cash for all disbursements made by the Buyer in
connection with the Incentive Plans or to create an accrued liability on the
Closing Balance Sheet for the amount to be disbursed.
11.6 STOCK OPTION PLAN. Seller shall, if appropriate, cause the stock
option plans of Raytheon Company (the "RAYTHEON STOCK PLANS") to be amended and
to make adjustments and take actions (and Buyer shall take such actions as are
reasonably required to implement the same) with respect to options (including,
without limitation, incentive stock options) on Raytheon Company Common Stock
which are outstanding under the Raytheon Stock Plans immediately prior to the
Closing Date and which are held by Assumed Employees and are not vested as of
the Closing Date (the "RAYTHEON OPTIONS") to provide that, pursuant to the
equitable adjustment provisions of the applicable Raytheon Stock Plan, such
Raytheon Options will be converted into and represent (pursuant to a methodology
consistent with Section 424 of the Code, with respect to the values of Raytheon
Common Stock and Buyer Common Stock which are reasonably agreed to by Buyer) the
right to acquire from Buyer shares of Buyer Common Stock, with such other
amendments and adjustments proposed by Buyer as are reasonable and appropriate
consistent with Buyer's current stock option plan. These actions and
adjustments shall be made and become effective as soon as reasonably
practicable. Any liabilities or other obligations with respect to such
converted Raytheon Options shall be Assumed Obligations.

a third Person, and such consent is not obtained prior to the Closing, or

attempted transfer thereof. Each of the Buyer and the Seller shall use
reasonable efforts at its own expense to obtain any such approvals.

Government Contract shall be validly conveyed, transferred and assigned and
novated to the Buyer by all parties thereto. The Seller shall provide to
the Buyer promptly any information regarding the Seller required in
connection with such request. The Seller and the Buyer shall each use all
reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, approvals and waivers required

responding to any requests for information by the United States Government
with regard to such Novation Agreements.
(b) In connection with obtaining the consents contemplated in

destroyed, at the Seller's expense, or (B) notify the Buyer that the Seller
will pay the cost of storing and maintaining such files or records
(including any necessary costs of moving such files or records to a
location under control of the Seller).

after the Closing Date it will cease using any references to the Seller, Parent,
TI or any of their respective Affiliates, including any such use in connection
with the use of existing supplies of labels, signs, letterhead and other printed
materials, except
<PAGE>
-37-
that the Buyer may use up existing stocks of catalogs and other promotional
materials so long as they are stickered so as to indicate that the MMIC Business
is no longer affiliated with the Seller.
12.5 NON-SOLICITATION. After the Closing, for a period of two years
from July 2, 1997, except as provided in Section 11.1(c), the Seller shall not
(a) solicit to hire any individual who, on July 2, 1997, was an employee of the

hereby and to fulfill and cause to be fulfilled the conditions to closing under
this Agreement. The parties hereto will cooperate with each other to obtain as
promptly as possible all consents, authorizations, orders or approvals of any
third party, whether private or a Governmental Entity, required in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The parties hereto agree
to coordinate and cooperate with one another in exchanging such information and
in executing and delivering such instruments as the others may request in
connection with all of the foregoing.

Seller and the Buyer will cooperate to move the Acquired Assets located in the
Research East Building to an approximately 18,000 square foot facility located
in the North Building contiguous to Buyer's operations in the North Building.
The Buyer and the Seller will use reasonable efforts to effect this move in a
manner that does not unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Seller or the
Buyer. The Seller agrees to pay (up to an aggregate of $8,764,000) (a) the
Buyer's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the move
and (b) the cost of constructing demising walls and other improvements in the
North Building required to set up the Buyer's research and development
operations and separate the Buyer's business from the Seller's business, in
accordance with plans and specifications to be mutually agreed upon by the
parties. Subject to the terms of the Sublease Agreements, any leasehold
improvements resulting from such payments shall be deemed to be owned
<PAGE>
-38-
by the Buyer as part of the Acquired Assets. As promptly as practicable after
the date of this Agreement, the Seller and the Buyer will designate appropriate
representatives to develop a timetable, budget and plans for the move and the
improvements and take other related actions.
12.10. COLLECTION OF CERTAIN ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.
(a) After the Closing Date, the Buyer shall use reasonable efforts,
consistent with the Seller's current collection practices and procedures, to
collect all accounts receivable included in the Acquired Assets which are aged
90 days or more as of the Closing Date, including, without limitation, those
listed on SCHEDULE 5.22 (collectively, the "COLLECTION RECEIVABLES"). All
payments received by the Buyer from any customers obligated in respect of any
Collection Receivables shall be deemed to have been made in respect of, and
shall be applied to, the Collection Receivable of such customer bearing the
earliest date unless the customer has specified the particular account to which
a remittance pertains, in which case the credit shall be made to the account
specified.
(b) The Buyer will not accept any returns of defective products or give
any credit for defective products with respect to any products relating to the
Collection Receivables without the Seller's prior consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. The Buyer may accept returns of products or give
credits for products relating to the Collection Receivables for reasons other
than the products being defective. For purposes of paragraph (c) below, (i) any
Collection Receivables relating to product returns or credits made in compliance
with the first sentence of this paragraph (b) shall be considered unpaid at the
end of the applicable Collection Period (as defined below) and (ii) any
Collection Receivables relating to product returns or credits made pursuant to
the second sentence of this paragraph (b) or made pursuant to the first sentence
of this paragraph (b) but without the Seller's consent, shall be considered paid
in full.
(c) In the event that any Collection Receivable or any portion thereof
(less applicable reserves attributable to Collection Receivables set forth on
the Closing Balance Sheet) is not paid by the first anniversary of the recording
of such Collection Receivable (the "COLLECTION PERIOD"), within ten days after
the end of any such Collection Period, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller a
final statement setting forth all amounts collected by the Buyer with respect to
such Collection Receivable, and listing all Collection Receivables (or portion
thereof) remaining unpaid after the Collection Period, after giving effect to
the provisions of paragraph (b) above (the "UNPAID ACCOUNTS"). Provided that
the Buyer has complied with its obligations under this Section 12.10, within
five business days of the delivery of such statement, the Seller will pay to the
Buyer the balance of the Unpaid Accounts, net of any reserve for uncollected
accounts set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet (as finally adjusted pursuant to
Section 3.2) which has not been previously applied to any Unpaid Account under
this paragraph (c). Any amounts collected by the Seller or the
<PAGE>
-39-
Buyer with respect to any Unpaid Accounts after the Collection Period for such
Unpaid Account shall be the property of the Seller and the Seller may take such
measures to enforce collection of the unpaid items as the Seller shall deem
necessary.
(d) In the event that the Buyer collects more with respect to the
Collection Receivables than the total amount attributable to the Collection
Receivables (net of any reserve) on the Closing Balance Sheet (as finally
adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2), the Buyer will remit to the Seller any such
excess amount.
12.11. BUYER'S BUSINESS. Except as may be otherwise contemplated by this
Agreement or required by any of the documents listed in any Schedule to this
Agreement, the Buyer covenants and agrees that, from and after the date of this
Agreement and until the Closing, it shall carry on its business in the ordinary
course substantially in the same manner as heretofore conducted.

Sections 6.7 or 6.8 or arising from fraud.

(a) In the event that any party hereto (an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY")
desires to make a claim against another party hereto (the "INDEMNIFYING
PARTY", which term shall include all Indemnifying Parties if there be more
than one) in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or demand at any
time instituted against or made upon it for which it may seek
indemnification hereunder (a "THIRD-PARTY CLAIM"), the Indemnified Party

Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. Upon receipt of such
notice from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled
to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and assume the
defense of such Third-Party Claim, and in the case of such an assumption
the Indemnifying Party
<PAGE>
-41-
shall have the authority to negotiate, compromise and settle such
Third-Party Claim; PROVIDED, THAT (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be

(ii) the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in
connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim, and provide all
information possessed by the Indemnified Party relevant to the defense or
settlement of such Third Party Claim.
(b) The Indemnified Party shall retain the right to employ its
own counsel and to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the
defense of which has been assumed by an Indemnifying Party pursuant hereto,

13.5 WAIVER OF STATUTORY CLAIMS. The Buyer hereby waives and releases
the Seller from any and all Losses, known or unknown, it may have under CERCLA

The Seller hereby waives and releases the Buyer from any and all Losses, known
or unknown, it may have under CERCLA or any other statutes relating to
environmental matters now or hereafter in effect or any other statute if the

Article 17).
14.2. COOPERATION ON TAX MATTERS; CONDUCT OF PROCEEDINGS.
(a) The Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to
the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the
<PAGE>

14.3. ALLOCATION OF TRANSFER AND PROPERTY TAXES. (a) All excise, sales,
use, value added, registration stamp, recording, documentary, conveyancing,

including any deficiencies, interest, penalties, additions to Tax or additional
amounts excluding any Income Taxes (collectively, "TRANSFER TAXES") incurred in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne
by Seller. Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the amount
of all Transfer Taxes and shall cooperate in providing each other with any
appropriate resale exemption certifications and other similar documentation.
The party that is required by applicable law to make the filings, reports or
returns and to handle any audits or controversies with respect to any applicable
Transfer Taxes shall do so, and the other party shall cooperate with respect
thereto as necessary.
(b) All real property taxes, personal property taxes and similar
AD VALOREM obligations levied with respect to the Acquired Assets for a
taxable period which includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date
(collectively, the "APPORTIONED OBLIGATIONS") shall be apportioned between
Seller and Buyer based on the number of days of such taxable period which
fall on or before the Closing Date (this and any other tax period which
includes one or more days falling on or before the Closing Date, a
"PRE-CLOSING TAX PERIOD") and the number of days of such taxable period
after the Closing Date (a "POST-CLOSING TAX PERIOD"). Seller shall be
liable for the proportionate amount of such taxes that is attributable to
the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate
amount of such taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period.
Upon receipt of any bill for real or personal property taxes relating to
the Acquired Assets, each of Seller and Buyer shall present a statement to
the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each is
entitled under this Section together with such supporting evidence as is
reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration
amount shall be paid by the party owing it to the other within 30 days
after delivery of such statement. In the event that either Seller or Buyer
shall make
<PAGE>
-43-
any payments for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section,
the other party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event
later than ten (10) days after the presentation of a statement setting
forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting party is entitled
along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate
the amount of reimbursement.
14.4. ALLOWABLE TAXES. (a) For purposes of this Section, "ALLOWABLE
TAX" shall mean the allocable share of any Tax of Seller or any of its
Affiliates which is an allowable cost under the Federal Acquisition Regulation,
48 CFR Chapter 1, and associated regulations and agreements between Seller and
any U.S. governmental entity, allocated based on Seller's existing finance
policy (as it is in effect on the date hereof).
(b) If Seller has paid or reimbursed Buyer for any Allowable Tax
which is attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Buyer agrees to repay to
Seller promptly upon receipt any portion of such Allowable Tax that Buyer
or any of its Affiliates is ultimately able to recover from the United
States government.
(c) If Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives a refund with
respect to an Allowable Tax that is attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax
Period, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of such refund reduced by the
amount, if any, that Buyer will be required to pay to the United States
government or suffer by reason of offset in accordance with the Federal
Acquisition Regulation, 48 CFR Chapter 1, and associated regulations and
agreements between Seller and any U.S. governmental entity. If Seller
receives a refund after the Closing Date with respect to an Allowable Tax
that is attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller will pay to Buyer
the amount, if any, which Buyer will be required to pay to the U.S.
government, or suffers by reason of an offset, in accordance with the
foregoing regulations.
(d) Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate with respect to the
calculation of any amounts payable pursuant to this Section and to give
each other written notice of events reasonably likely to result in the
increase or decrease of any Allowable Tax attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax
Period.
14.5. SCOPE OF ARTICLE 14.
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 13, the provisions
of this Article 14 (and not Article 13) shall govern the allocation of
responsibility between the Seller and the Buyer for Taxes of the MMIC
Business.

the Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the statute of
limitations applicable to the Tax matter to which the Claim relates.

ARTICLE 15
TERMINATION
This Agreement may be terminated by either the Buyer or the Seller in
writing, without liability to the terminating party on account of such
termination (provided the terminating party is not otherwise in default or in
breach of this Agreement), if (a) the Closing shall not have occurred on or
before January 26, 1998, other than as a consequence of the intentional breach
or the intentional default by the terminating party, or (b) the DOJ or DOD
notify the Seller of their objection to the Buyer as a purchaser of the MMIC

and taken; (iii) credits or allowances made or given on account of rejects
or returns; (iv) retroactive price adjustments for amounts not collected;

basis to a third party the sales price for purposes of calculating Net
Sales will be based on (i) what an arms-length price would be if such
pricing is readily ascertainable and (ii) if not readily ascertainable, at
the price that would have been paid under the Supply Agreement if the
Supply Agreement were still in effect.
The Buyer shall be entitled to conduct reasonable audits of the Seller's

(c) GRANT (DESIGN RIGHTS). Notwithstanding any other provisions to the
contrary in this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of the Supply
Agreement between the parties hereto of even date, Seller hereby reserves for
itself and Affiliates of Seller, and Buyer hereby grants to Seller and
Affiliates of Seller, a nonexclusive, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty free,
fully paid-up, nontransferable (except as specified in Section 3.2(d)) license
to use the MMIC Business Intellectual Property identified in ATTACHMENT 6, for
the purpose of performing or having performed design work and services for any
MMIC-related products for use in modules, RF subassemblies and RF subsystems of

Section 3.1(f) applicable to Seller Intellectual Property and TI Licensed

new designs manufactured by Seller, Seller's Affiliates or any third party. To
the extent there is any Seller Intellectual Property or TI Licensed Property
within the scope of ATTACHMENT 6, the restriction on use in Section 3.1(f) with
respect to the use of Seller Intellectual Property and TI Licensed Intellectual
Property in combination with and to the same extent as the license granted in
this Section 3.2(c) shall not apply. However, to the extent that any MMIC
Business Intellectual Property, Seller Intellectual Property and TI Licensed
Intellectual Property comes within the scope of ATTACHMENT 6 and also is
applicable to the subject matter of Part I of ATTACHMENT 5, this Intellectual
Property will be subject to the provisions of Section 3.1(f)(i) and
Section 3.2(a). The restrictions on use set forth above in this Section 3.2(c)
as they apply to any particular item of intellectual property shall apply only

protection or, in the case of Know-How, is subject to continuing trade secret
status.

in Sections 3.2(a), (b) and (c) above are not transferable except (i) to any
successor in interest (whether by sale, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to

successor in interest (whether by sale, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to
all or substantially all of Raytheon Company's GaAs foundry business, provided
that any successor in interest agrees in writing to be bound by all applicable
provisions of this Agreement in the

sublicense to a Related Party, except that the Seller may not sublicense to a
Related Party with respect to its rights under Section 3.2(a) with respect to
Part I of ATTACHMENT 5 or under Section 3.2(b)(i) or under
Section 3.2(b)(ii)(b).
(e) In connection with and for the sole purposes of the above licenses
and the rights retained by and granted to Seller pursuant to Sections 3.2(b) and
(c), upon the occurrence of the event giving rise to the grant of said
license(s), Seller may obtain and Buyer shall promptly deliver, at Seller's
expense, a copy of documentation sufficient to enable the practice of said
license(s) and right(s). For a period of six months from the event giving rise
to the grant of such license(s) and right(s), Buyer agrees to make available to
Seller, at Seller's expense (at reasonable rates), up to thirty (30) man-days of

use and implementation of the subject matter of said license(s) and right(s) in
order to assist Seller with regard to the use thereof.
(f) Except for the five (5) year limitation applicable to the rights
granted in Section 3.2(c), the restrictions on use and the obligations to pay
royalties otherwise contained in this Section 3.2 shall only apply until the
seventh anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement.

shall specifically prohibit Seller from retaining any rights with respect to,
any existing L-band intrinsic MMIC models included within the MMIC Business
Intellectual Property, the TI Intellectual Property and the Seller Intellectual
Property.

Purchase Agreement);
WHEREAS, the MMIC Business has historically provided microwave monolithic
integrated circuits ("MMICs") and MMIC design services to RTIS; and
WHEREAS, Supplier and RTIS desire to continue to have the MMIC Business as

strategic supplier relationship under the terms and conditions of this
Agreement;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein
and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows:

MMIC products, including where applicable related design services (collectively,
the "PRODUCTS"), on the terms set forth herein.
1.2. PRICES. (a) The prices for Products shall be determined as set
forth in this Section 1.2 and in Section 2.3, APPENDIX A, APPENDIX B and

Supplier agrees to continue to
<PAGE>
-2-
use the historical wafer charging systems and cost estimating systems used by
the MMIC Business immediately prior to the Closing Date for all Product orders
for RTIS. These systems use the following three wafer processing charging
categories: (a) Development wafer account (used for the first lots of all new
designs); (b) Production wafer account (used for additional lots (beyond the
first lot) of new designs, for all repeat orders of existing designs (including
those that have minor changes, i.e., minor modifications of an existing design
where it is not considered a new design)); and (c) High Volume Production wafer
account (used for volume production orders for proven designs). In addition,
pre-existing and pending RTIS technology development contracts and independent
research and development ("IRAD") projects have separate charging systems.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.2, Section
2.3, APPENDIX A, APPENDIX B and APPENDIX C, other pricing methods may be used
for future products or purchase orders subject to the written agreement of both
parties.
(c) Pricing with respect to Teledesic will be negotiated on an
arm's-length, non-exclusive basis.
1.3. PURCHASE ORDERS. Products shall be ordered by purchase orders of
RTIS placed with Supplier, subject to acceptance by Supplier. Supplier shall
promptly respond to all requests for quotations and all purchase orders. If
Supplier does not accept a purchase order, it will enter into good faith
negotiations with RTIS to resolve any objections. Supplier shall accept all
purchase orders of RTIS within Supplier's capabilities. In the event purchase
orders are not accepted by Supplier, such purchase orders shall not be subject
to the provisions of Sections 1.5 and 2.3. In any case where the terms of this
Agreement and the terms of any purchase order are in conflict, the terms of the
purchase order shall take precedence. Requests for quotes and purchase orders
will follow the procedures specified in APPENDIX D attached hereto.
1.4. DELIVERY AND PAYMENT. All Product shall be delivered F.O.B. at
Supplier's Plant at Dallas, Texas, unless otherwise specified in the applicable
purchase order. Supplier will submit invoices to RTIS for each shipment of MMIC
wafers and die at the time of shipment. Payment terms for such shipments are
net thirty (30) days F.O.B. shipping point. Supplier will submit invoices to
RTIS for design and general labor services on a monthly basis. Payment terms
for such services are net thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice.

the exclusive right to RTIS orders for production procurement for all existing
Product designs (a)(i) for which the mask works were completed as of the Closing
Date or (ii) for which new mask works are required for any updated existing
designs (whether
<PAGE>
-3-
due to conversion to 100mm, design modification or design iteration) and
(b) which meet the pricing criteria of Section 1.2 hereof, RTIS performance
criteria and reasonable schedule requirements. RTIS anticipates ordering
production quantities of the devices listed in APPENDIX E; the listed device ID
numbers are subject to change prior to the order date. RTIS is not obligated to
submit to Supplier requests for bids on other Product designs (including new
design starts), but may elect to do so in its sole discretion. The terms of
this Section 1.5 shall not survive in the event of any extension or renewal of
this Agreement beyond its initial two year term pursuant to Article 7, unless
otherwise agreed to by the parties at the time such extension or renewal is
agreed to.

Section 4.4, ownership of technology developed under such contracts will be
determined on a case-by-case basis and documented in the related purchase order.
1.7. MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY. Subject to any applicable licenses or
restrictions, in supplying Products and services to RTIS hereunder, Supplier
shall use its reasonable efforts to provide or use (as applicable) the most
advanced technology available to it.

RTIS with at least ninety (90) days advance notice of material changes in its
ability to supply Products hereunder. RTIS will endeavor to provide Supplier
with at least ninety (90) days advance notice of material changes in its
requirements for Products hereunder. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by
Supplier and RTIS, none of the foregoing notices shall be deemed to modify any
purchase orders which have been accepted by Supplier.
1.9. GOVERNMENT CONTRACT FLOWDOWN. To the extent RTIS is required to
flowdown these provisions to subcontractors, Supplier agrees to accept purchase

other agency FAR supplement clauses and other clauses that appear in the prime
or higher-tier contract(s) or as are otherwise required by law and regulation.
1.10. WORK IN PROCESS. Supplier and RTIS agree to identify and document
all Supplier work in process existing on the Closing Date which is attributable
to an RTIS order. RTIS will use its reasonable efforts to issue purchase orders
for the identified work to be completed for all such work in process within

within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, PROVIDED, THAT Supplier shall
continue to process all such work in process without delays, whether or not a

staffing assignments for each purchase order line item. In the event Supplier
cannot provide appropriate staff, RTIS, upon notice to Supplier, shall have the
right to withdraw the design support request and assign its own personnel to the
design. Supplier's designers will only be used to design Products which are
intended for manufacture by Supplier except in situations where RTIS is
contractually required to provide a second source. Supplier's design personnel
will serve on RTIS design teams and will be expected to attend and support
program reviews, attend team meetings, conduct design reviews, participate in
peer design reviews, write progress reports, and account for all labor charged
to the development. Supplier shall comply with all labor charging practices and
procedures required of Department of Defense contractors. Supplier's design
personnel time shall be charged at a rate of ____* per hour in 1998 and
____* per hour in 1999. RTIS will provide periodic forecasts for Supplier's
design staff, updated at least quarterly, and will order design services
pursuant to a purchase order. RTIS intends to use Supplier design personnel for
a minimum of 60% of its new designs and design modifications (i.e., existing
designs requiring new mask works) in 1998 and a minimum of 30% in 1999;
provided, that the foregoing calculation does not include digital GaAs MMIC
designs (HI2L), as Supplier does not have capability for such designs.
2.4. OTHER SUPPORT. During the term of this Agreement, Supplier will
provide to RTIS the support functions and services specified on APPENDIX B
attached hereto on the terms and conditions specified for such function or
service thereon or in any separate supplemental agreement or work authorization
order agreed to by Supplier and RTIS after the Closing Date.
2.5. COOPERATION. RTIS and Supplier shall work together to improve
product development cycle time. RTIS will endeavor to involve Supplier at an
early stage in resolving problems arising under this Agreement and in
implementing joint programs. RTIS and Supplier will jointly participate in the
management of resolution of problems arising under this Agreement as
appropriate, including, without limitation, resolution of any technical problems
relating to manufacturability of Product designs.

RTIS product assurance program document setting forth the specifications
applicable to the MMIC Business (the "PRODUCT ASSURANCE PROGRAM"). RTIS will
respond to such Supplier notifications within thirty (30) days regarding
supporting data and any qualification requirements prior to implementation of
the change in the manufacture of RTIS Products. In addition, Supplier shall
notify RTIS as soon as possible in advance, or if not possible in advance then
as soon as possible thereafter, in the case of any key GaAs fabrication process
changes which do not change the baseline process as defined in the Product

Upon receipt of such notice from Supplier, RTIS may request quotes and submit
purchase orders with delivery of Product scheduled to occur before the
expiration of such 180 day notice period; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that RTIS may place
one final order within the last thirty days of the 180 day notice period and
Supplier will accept and schedule such order for delivery at Supplier's
discretion at the agreed-to price.
3.3. LICENSE OF PROCESS INFORMATION AFTER DISCONTINUANCE. RTIS has the
right to license process technology and associated MMIC Business Intellectual
Property relating to any manufacturing process discontinued by Supplier under
this Agreement as set forth in Section 3.2(b)(ii)(b) and Section 3.2(e) of the

Supplier shall comply with such change notices. If such changes result in a
decrease or increase in Supplier's cost that are directly attributable and
incurred as a result of such changes or in the time for performance, an
adjustment in the price and time for performance may be made by mutual written
agreement of the parties, provided, however, that Supplier notifies RTIS of the
request for such adjustments within thirty (30) days after receipt by it of the
change notice.

Landlord, Subtenant is the Tenant and that not all of the Overleased Premises is

Sublease.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF PARTIES.
Except as to those Sections of the Overlease excepted from this Sublease
under Section 2(b) above, Subtenant hereby agrees to perform all of the
remaining obligations imposed on Raytheon as Lessee under the Overlease as
to the Sublease Premises.
<PAGE>
-3-
With respect to repairs and maintenance required of Raytheon, as Lessee
under Article 8 of the Overlease, EXHIBIT C attached hereto sets forth an
allocation of the repair and maintenance responsibilities that have been
agreed shall be performed and conducted between Raytheon and Subtenant.
EXHIBIT C sets forth those repair responsibilities that are allocated
solely to Raytheon, solely to Subtenant and those for which the costs are
to be shared by both Raytheon and Subtenant. Raytheon and Subtenant
understand and agree that they shall work in good faith with one another to
coordinate the repairs for which each is responsible.
Provided that Subtenant is not in default hereunder, Raytheon agrees to use
its best efforts to cause the Overlandlord to perform all of the
obligations imposed upon the Overlandlord under the Overlease; however,
Raytheon shall in no event be responsible for any failure by Overlandlord
to perform such obligations.
Following notice from Overlandlord to Raytheon and Subtenant that, pursuant
to Section 24.01 of the Overlease, a default exists under the Overlease, as
a result of any act or omission of Subtenant, then Raytheon, at its option,
after written notice to Subtenant, may take the necessary action to cure
said default of Subtenant within the applicable grace period of said
Sections 24.01(a) and (b) of the Overlease. Subtenant shall promptly
reimburse Raytheon for any monies expended by Raytheon in curing any such
default. Raytheon shall invoice Subtenant for such expenses, which shall
be reasonably documented. Subtenant's failure to reimburse Raytheon within
thirty (30) days after such invoice shall constitute a default by Subtenant
under this Sublease.
This Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Overlease and shall
terminate upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Overlease,
provided that, so long as Subtenant is not in default hereunder, Raytheon
agrees not to take any action or omit to take any action (other than the
purchase of the Overleased Premises by Raytheon) which would cause a
termination of the Overlease prior to the end of the term thereof, except
with the express written consent of Subtenant. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, in the event that Raytheon purchases the
Overleased Premises from the Overlandlord during the term hereof, this
Sublease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between
Raytheon as landlord and Subtenant as tenant, and the provisions of the
Overlease applicable hereto pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof shall be deemed
incorporated herein by this reference and shall continue to apply hereto,
notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the Overlease as a result
of such purchase. Raytheon agrees to indemnify and hold Subtenant harmless
from and against any and all claims, suits, damages, liabilities and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of Raytheon's
use and occupancy of the Overleased Premises prior to the Commencement Date
of this Sublease. Subtenant agrees to indemnify and hold Raytheon harmless
from and against any and all claims, suits, damages, liabilities and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of Subtenant's
use and occupancy of the
<PAGE>
-4-
portions of Overleased Premises from and after the Commencement Date under
this Sublease.
To the extent that the Overlandlord is given rights to inspection of, or
access to, the Sublease Premises or to make audits or obtain documents or
information from Raytheon, as Lessee under the Overlease, Subtenant hereby
grants all such rights to Overlandlord such that Overlandlord shall have
the same rights to inspections, access, audits, documents and information
from Subtenant.
5. TERM; CONDITION OF SUBLEASE PREMISES.
(a) The term of this Sublease shall begin upon the execution date hereof
referenced in the preamble of this Sublease (the "COMMENCEMENT DATE"), and
shall expire upon the first to occur of (a) the termination of the
Overlease (subject, however, to the second sentence of the fifth paragraph
of Section 4 hereof regarding purchase of the Overleased Premises by
Raytheon), (b) the last day of the month on which the Subtenant completes
its move to the North Building as contemplated by Section 16 hereof and the
Transition Agreement, (c) in the event that the Subtenant fails to give the
termination notice referred to in the Sublease between Raytheon and
Subtenant relating to the North Building, 90 days after the date hereof,
and (d) one year from the date hereof.
(b) Subtenant agrees to accept those portions of the Overleased Premises
to be occupied by Subtenant "as-is", "where-is" on the Commencement Date,
and in substantially the same condition as said Overleased Premises now
are, and Raytheon makes no representation or warranty with respect to the
condition thereof except that the relevant portions of the Overleased
Premises currently are in compliance with the Overlease and will be in
compliance therewith on the Commencement Date.
(c) It is expressly understood and agreed that upon expiration of this
Sublease pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 5, the Subtenant shall have
no further obligation to pay rent under Section 6 hereof with respect to
any periods after the expiration of this Sublease.
6. RENT. During the term of this Sublease, Subtenant shall pay to Raytheon a
monthly rental equal to the Applicable Percentage of the monthly charges
paid by Raytheon under the Overlease for occupancy of the Overleased
Premises, including, without limitation, the Applicable Percentage of all
Additional Rent and Special Services Charges, Costs of Insurance (as
defined in Section 9(a) below), increases in premiums and Taxes under
Sections 2.02, 9.04 and Article 14 of the Overlease and Section 9(a) of
this Sublease, but excluding Base Rent and Utility Charges (as defined
below) (which shall be calculated and paid in accordance with Section 8
below), which monthly rental shall be payable in advance by the first (1st)
day of each calendar month during the term of this Sublease (or, with
respect to the initial
<PAGE>

partial calendar month, on the date of this Sublease). The Applicable
Percentage is calculated by dividing the net square feet (the "NSF") of the
Sublease Premises by 85,638 square feet, the NSF of the Overleased
Premises. As of the date of this Sublease, the Applicable Percentage,
based on an initial Sublease Premises of 30,082 square feet, is 35.1%.

Payment shall be made in accordance with Section 2.04 below. Base Rent shall
include the Basic Services set forth in Section 3.01, below.
Base Rent shall be subject to adjustment at the commencement of each
Renewal Term (in each case, "Adjustment Date") as follows:
(a) The base for computing the adjustment is the Consumer Price index,
published bimonthly by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics ("BLS") in CPI DETAILED REPORT. Consumer Price Index All Urban
Consumers (CPI-U): Selected Areas, All Items Index (Dallas/Fort Worth)
(1982-1984=100) ("Index"). The number indicated in the Index for the month and
the year in which the Commencement Date occurs shall be the "Base Index." The
number in the Index for the month and the year which is 45 days prior to the
month and the year in which the rent adjustment occurs shall be the "Current
Index." The Current Index shall take into consideration any changes arising
from the BLS publishing data on a base period other than 1982-1984=100.
(b) Except as set forth in clause (c) below, forty-five (45) days prior to
each Adjustment Date, if the Current Index has increased over the Base Index,
the Base Rent for the Renewal Term (until the next rent adjustment) shall be set
by multiplying the Base Rent for the fifth year of the Primary Term by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Current Index and the denominator of
which is the Base Index. If the Current Index has decreased from the Index
employed at the previous Adjustment Date, the Base Rent for the Renewal Term
(until the next rent adjustment) shall be set by multiplying the Base Rent for
the fifth year of the Primary Term by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
Current Index and the denominator of which is the Base Index, such that the Base
Rent for the Renewal Term shall be less than the Base Rent for the previous
term. Provided however, that in no case shall the Base Rent be less than the
Base Rent for the fifth year of the Primary Term. The new Base Rent shall take
effect on the Adjustment Date and Tenant shall be provided with written notice
of such new Base Rent thirty (30) days prior to the Adjustment Date.

(c) If forty-five (45) days prior to the Adjustment Date, the Current
Index for such date is not yet available, Lessee shall pay Lessor the Base Rent
for the Primary Term as it may have been previously increased or decreased,
until such Current Index is published and available, at which time Lessee shall
pay Lessor the increase, if any, retroactively from the applicable Adjustment
Date.
(d) If the Index is discontinued or revised during the Lease Term, such
other government index or computation with which it is replaced shall be used in
order to obtain substantially the same result as would be obtained if the Index
had not been discontinued or revised.

any governmental authority, without the prior consent of Lessee, except for an
emergency situation as set forth in Article 13, and except as otherwise required
by law. Lessor shall, at Lessee's request, disclose all findings within the
scope of such audit to Lessee, and in all cases, shall provide a copy of such
audit to Lessee. In the event Lessor discovers that Lessee is not in compliance
with applicable laws or other covenants of this Lease in any material respect,
whenever reasonably necessary Lessor may, but shall have no obligation to, take
the least disruptive action necessary to remedy such noncompliance by Lessee and
protect the legitimate interests of Lessor; provided however, except in
emergency situations, Lessor shall afford Lessee the prior opportunity to take
such action
-29-
<PAGE>
within a ten (10) day period (or shorter if warranted by the circumstances)
before instituting any such action, and Lessor shall only act, if at all, if
Lessee fails to take any action within the prescribed period or fails to
diligently continue to implement such action. In the event Lessor takes any
such remedial action, Lessor shall not be liable for inconvenience, annoyance,
disturbance, loss or interruption of business, by reason of making such
reasonable and good faith determination and taking such action; provided,
however, Lessor shall be liable to Lessee for any negligence or reckless
disregard caused by Lessor, its employees, agents, consultants, and contractors
with respect to any action under this Article 19. Lessor agrees in exercising
its rights under this Article 19 to act in good faith to avoid unreasonable
interference with Lessee's operations at the TI Expressway Site.
ARTICLE 20
ENTRY/RIGHT OF ACCESS
Due to the interconnectedness of the infrastructure serving the various
buildings on the TI Expressway Site, Lessor will require and Lessee hereby
agrees to grant to authorized personnel of Lessor (i) access to certain
infrastructure and utilities systems located in those areas of the Research East
Building indicated as "TI required access" areas on Exhibit A-4 hereto, as and
to the extent reasonably required by Lessor, and (ii) the right to continue to
monitor on Lessor's supervisory control and data acquisition ("SCADA") system,
utilities and process gas and fluid distribution systems located in the Leased
Premises that connect to the site-wide distribution system.
Lessor and its representatives may, acting in good faith to minimize to the
extent reasonably possible interference with Lessee's operations at the Leased
Premises and upon at least twenty-four (24) hours' prior notice to Lessee
(except in the case of emergency), and subject to any applicable U.S. Government
security requirements, enter the Leased Premises for any of the following
purposes
(a) to make repairs to the Leased Premises required of Lessor under this
Lease;
(b) to provide access to the Leased Premises during normal business hour
for authorized third parties, including without limitation, governmental
agencies and, with the consent of Lessee, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, lenders, brokers, purchasers, appraisers and, during the
last eighteen (18) months of the Lease Term prospective tenants;
(c) to inspect the Leased Premises and determine Lessee's compliance with
this Lease;
(d) to audit the compliance by Lessee as permitted in Article 19;
(e) to respond to emergency situations;
(f) to perform any work, which Lessor elects and is entitled to undertake,
made necessary by reason of any default by Lessee under the terms of this Lease
(g) to carry out any other activity of Lessor permitted under this Lease;
and
-30-
<PAGE>
(h) to perform services for Lessee hereunder.
Nothing herein shall be construed to impose or imply any duty upon Lessor
to do any such work which, under any provision of this Lease, it is not required
to perform; and the performance thereof by Lessor shall not constitute a waiver
of Lessee's default. Lessee shall reasonably cooperate with Lessor to ensure
provision of keys, combinations or codes as necessary to ensure adequate and
(where appropriate) immediate access to the Leased Premises as reasonably
required to provide Lessor with the access granted, above. Lessee shall have
the right to designate a representative of Lessee to accompany Lessor and its
representatives when Lessor or its representatives are present on the Leased
Premises.
ARTICLE 21
BUILDING SYSTEMS SHUTDOWNS
Lessee acknowledges that Lessor may, from time to time during emergencies
or for purposes of building maintenance, need to shut down one or more of the
Utility Systems serving the buildings in which the Leased Premises are located.
Lessee agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lessor to allow Lessor to shut
down building systems for up to five (5) days annually to perform Utilities
Systems maintenance. Except in the case of an emergency, Lessor shall schedule
such shutdown with at least two (2) months notice to Lessee and prior approval
by Lessee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lessor
will cooperate with Lessee regarding all shutdowns so as to minimize any
potential disruption to Lessee's operations.
Lessee acknowledges Utilities Systems shutdowns performed in accordance
with this Article 21 will benefit Lessee and Lessee's operations. Lessor shall
not be liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss or interruption of
business to Lessee. Lessor shall not be liable for any other claimed damage to
Lessee, by reason of any such Utilities Systems shutdown, except to the extent
due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or its agents,
employees, or contractors, nor shall Lessee be entitled to any abatement of Rent
by reason of any such Utilities Systems shutdown.
ARTICLE 22
HOLDING-OVER
If Lessee continues to occupy the Leased Premises beyond the Lease Term of
this Lease in the absence of a mutually agreed upon extended term, such
holding-over shall constitute a tenancy at will, except upon hold-over all the
monthly Rent rates shall increase to a sum of 150% of the then current Rent in
effect at the time of expiration of this Lease.
-31-
<PAGE>
ARTICLE 23
SURRENDER OF THE LEASED PREMISES
Upon surrender of the Leased Premises for any reason, including
termination, abandonment, expiration or breach by Lessor, Lessee, at its expense
(except as otherwise expressly provided herein) shall remove from the Leased
Premises Lessee's Property, except for such Alterations that Lessor has agreed
that may at Lessee's election, be surrendered. Lessee will use all reasonable
efforts to avoid causing damage to the surrounding structure and to minimize
disruption of Lessor's operations. Subject to Articles 10 and 11, Lessee, at
its expense, will promptly repair any damage to the Leased Premises caused by
any removal of Lessee's property and Alterations therefrom and restore the
Leased Premises substantially to the same condition as at the commencement of
the Lease (without such equipment as Lessee is removing), reasonable wear and
tear and Alterations that Lessor states in writing may be surrendered at the
termination of the Lease excepted. Lessor's acceptance of any surrender of the
Leased Premises by Lessee shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Lessor
of any default by Lessee. Any of Lessee's Property not removed after surrender
shall become the property of Lessor. Upon such surrender, Lessee shall not
allow or cause any environmental, health, or safety permits or authorizations
relating to Lessee's use or occupancy of the Leased Premises to expire,
terminate, or lapse for a period of sixty (60) days after such surrender and
shall, at Lessor's request, execute such documentation as may be necessary or
desirable to transfer any such permits or authorizations to Lessor or Lessor's
designee.

amount for such CAM Costs as set forth in the applicable sentence of the
two immediately preceding sentences. This amount has been stipulated and
agreed between the parties as fair and is agreed irrespective of the actual
CAM Costs incurred or paid by Raytheon. This agreed amount shall remain
constant until revised in accordance with the immediately succeeding
paragraph.
<PAGE>
-4-
CAM Costs shall be subject to adjustment at the commencement of each
anniversary date of the Commencement Date (in each case, "ADJUSTMENT DATE")
as follows:
(1) The base for computing the adjustment is the Consumer Price
Index, published bimonthly by the United Sates Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics ("BLS") in CPI DETAILED REPORT, Consumer
Price Index All Urban Consumers, Selected Areas, All Items Index
(Dallas/Fort Worth) (1982-1984=100) ("INDEX"). The number indicated
in the Index for the month and the year in which the Commencement Date
occurs shall be the "BASE INDEX". The number in the Index for the
month and the year which is 45 days prior to the month and the year in
which the rent adjustment occurs shall be the "CURRENT INDEX". The
Current Index shall take into consideration any changes arising from
the BLS publishing data on a base period other than 1982-1984=100.
(2) Except as set forth in clause (3) below, forty-five (45) days
prior to each Adjustment Date, if the Current Index has increased over
the Base Index, the CAM Costs for the next succeeding year of this
Sublease (until the next rent adjustment) shall be set by multiplying
the CAM Costs for the first year of this Sublease by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Current Index and the denominator of which
is the Base Index. If the Current Index has decreased from the Index
employed at the previous Adjustment Date, the CAM Costs for the next
succeeding lease year (until the next rent adjustment) shall be the
same as the previous lease year. In no case shall the CAM Costs be
less than the CAM Costs for the previous lease year. The new CAM
Costs shall take effect on the Adjustment Date and Subtenant shall be
provided with written notice of such new CAM Costs thirty (30) days
prior to the Adjustment Date.
(3) If, forty-five (45) days prior to the Adjustment Date, the
Current Index for such date is not yet available, Subtenant shall pay
Raytheon the CAM Costs for the next succeeding year of this Sublease
as it may have been previously increased until such Current Index is
published and available, at which time Subtenant shall pay Raytheon
the increase, if any, retroactively from the applicable Adjustment
Date.
(4) If the Index is discontinued or revised during the term of this
Sublease, such other government index or computation with which it is
replaced shall be used in order to obtain substantially the same
result as would be obtained if the Index had not been discontinued or
revised.
(c) Raytheon shall have the right to prepare and revise, from time to
time, and enforce reasonable rules and regulations for use of the Common
Areas and Restricted
<PAGE>
-5-
Common Areas. All such rules and regulations shall be applied to both
Raytheon and Subtenant.
(d) The conference rooms in the cafeteria on the ground floor shall be
available on a first-come, first serve basis to the Subtenant and Raytheon.
Until changed by Raytheon, reservations for use of such conference rooms
shall be made through the computer system provided for such purpose.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF PARTIES.
Except as to those Sections of the Overlease excepted from this Sublease
under Section 2(c) above, Subtenant hereby agrees to perform all of the
remaining obligations imposed on Raytheon as Lessee under the Overlease as
to the Sublease Premises.
With respect to repairs and maintenance required of Raytheon, as Lessee
under Article 8 of the Overlease, EXHIBIT D attached hereto sets forth an
allocation of the repair and maintenance responsibilities that have been
agreed shall be performed and conducted between Raytheon and Subtenant.
EXHIBIT D sets forth those repair responsibilities that are allocated
solely to Raytheon, solely to Subtenant and those for which the costs are
to be shared by both Raytheon and Subtenant. Raytheon and Subtenant
understand and agree that they shall work in good faith with one another to
coordinate the repairs for which each is responsible.
Provided that Subtenant is not in default hereunder, Raytheon agrees to use
its best efforts to cause the Overlandlord to perform all of the
obligations imposed upon the Overlandlord under the Overlease; however,
Raytheon shall in no event be responsible for any failure by Overlandlord
to perform such obligations.
Following notice from Overlandlord to Raytheon and Subtenant that, pursuant
to Section 24.01 of the Overlease, a default exists under the Overlease, as
a result of any act or omission of Subtenant, then Raytheon, at its option,
after written notice to Subtenant, may take the necessary action to cure
said default of Subtenant within the applicable grace period of said
Sections 24.01(a) and (b) of the Overlease. Subtenant shall promptly
reimburse Raytheon for any monies expended by Raytheon in curing any such
default. Raytheon shall invoice Subtenant for such expenses, which shall
be reasonably documented. Subtenant's failure to reimburse Raytheon within
thirty (30) days after such invoice shall constitute a default by Subtenant
under this Sublease.
This Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Overlease and shall
terminate upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Overlease,
provided that, so long as Subtenant is not in default hereunder, Raytheon
agrees not to take any action or omit to take any action (other than the
purchase of the Overleased Premises by Raytheon)
<PAGE>
-6-
which would cause a termination of the Overlease prior to the end of the
term thereof, except with the express written consent of Subtenant.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event
that Raytheon purchases the Overleased Premises from the Overlandlord
during the term hereof, this Sublease shall continue in full force and
effect as a direct lease between Raytheon as landlord and Subtenant as
tenant, and the provisions of the Overlease applicable hereto pursuant to
Section 2(c) hereof shall be deemed incorporated herein by this reference
and shall continue to apply hereto, notwithstanding the expiration or
termination of the Overlease as a result of such purchase. Raytheon agrees
to indemnify and hold Subtenant harmless from and against any and all
claims, suits, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, arising out of Raytheon's use and occupancy of the
Overleased Premises prior to the Commencement Date of this Sublease.
Subtenant agrees to indemnify and hold Raytheon harmless from and against
any and all claims, suits, damages, liabilities and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of Subtenant's use and occupancy of
the portions of Overleased Premises from and after the Commencement Date
under this Sublease.
To the extent that the Overlandlord is given rights to inspection of, or
access to, the Sublease Premises or to make audits or obtain documents or
information from Raytheon, as Lessee under the Overlease, Subtenant hereby
grants all such rights to Overlandlord such that Overlandlord shall have
the same rights to inspections, access, audits, documents and information
from Subtenant.
5. TERM; CONDITION OF SUBLEASE PREMISES.
(a) The term of this Sublease shall begin upon the execution date hereof
referenced in the preamble of this Sublease (the "COMMENCEMENT DATE"), and
shall expire upon the first to occur of the termination of the Overlease
(subject, however, to the second sentence of the fifth paragraph of Section
4 hereof regarding purchase of the Overleased Premises by Raytheon) or
(unless this Sublease is extended as hereinafter provided) 11:59 P.M. on
July 10, 2002.
(b) Subtenant understands that Raytheon has options under Section 1.04 of
the Overlease to extend the term of the Overlease until July 10, 2007, and,
again, to July 10, 2012, and, finally, to July 10, 2017; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
Raytheon shall have no obligation to extend the Overlease for any of such
extension periods. Should Raytheon elect to extend the term of the
Overlease past July 10, 2002, and, thereafter, past July 10, 2007, and
thereafter, past July 10, 2012, then, if Subtenant is not in default under
this Sublease, Subtenant shall have the right to extend the term of this
Sublease for the identical extended terms(s) of the Overlease. As a
condition precedent to Subtenant's right to so extend the term of this
Sublease, Subtenant shall first give notice to Raytheon of Subtenant's
election not more than nineteen (19) months nor less than thirteen (13)
months prior to the expiration of the initial term or
<PAGE>
-7-
the current renewal term, as applicable. After receipt of Subtenant's
notice, Raytheon shall notify Subtenant as to whether or not Raytheon will
be exercising the applicable renewal option under Section 1.04 of the
Overlease. Subject to adjustments of rent as described in Section 2.01 of
the Overlease, such renewals of this Sublease shall be on the same terms,
covenants and conditions provided for in this Sublease and the Overlease.
(c) Subtenant agrees to accept those portions of the Overleased Premises
to be occupied by Subtenant (including any additional portions of the
Overleased Premises taken by Subtenant following the execution date hereof)
on an "as-is", "where-is" basis on the Commencement Date or such subsequent
date for additional portions, and in substantially the same condition as
said Overleased Premises now are, and Raytheon makes no representation or
warranty with respect to the condition thereof except that the relevant
portions of the Overleased Premises currently are in compliance with the
Overlease and will be in compliance therewith on the Commencement Date.
6. RENT. During the term of this Sublease, Subtenant shall pay to Raytheon a
monthly rental equal to the Applicable Percentage of the monthly charges
paid by Raytheon under the Overlease for occupancy of the Overleased
Premises, including, without limitation, the Applicable Percentage of all
Base Rent, Additional Rent and Special Services Charges, Costs of Insurance
(as defined in Section 9(a) below), increases in premiums and Taxes under
Sections 2.01, 2.02, 9.04 and Article 14 of the Overlease and Section 9(a)
of this Sublease, but excluding Utility Charges (as defined below) (which
shall be calculated and paid in accordance with Section 8 below), which
monthly rental shall be payable in advance by the first (1st) day of each
calendar month during the term of this Sublease (or, with respect to the
initial partial calendar month, on the date of this Sublease). The
Applicable Percentage is calculated by dividing the net square feet (the
"NSF") of the Sublease Premises by 659,769 square feet, the NSF of the
Overleased Premises. As of the date of this Sublease, the Applicable
Percentage, based on an initial Sublease Premises of 95,000 square feet, is
14.4%.
7. PAYMENT OF RENT. Payments of Rent shall be sent to the following address:

8. UTILITY CHARGES; SPECIAL SERVICES. For purposes of this Sublease, the
following terms shall have the following meanings:
(a) "SUBTENANT'S UTILITIES" shall mean the electricity, natural gas,
water (city), sewer, and fire suppression water as Subtenant may reasonably
require and request from time to time during the term of this Sublease for
the conduct of its business and consistent with historical usage by
Raytheon within the Sublease Premises;
(b) "COST OF SUBTENANT'S UTILITIES" shall mean the sum of (x) the cost
paid by Raytheon to a third party provider (including, without limitation,
the Overlandlord) of the electricity, sewer, water (city) and natural gas
utilities consumed as Subtenant's Utilities (including without limitation
any such utilities consumed to provide the heating, ventilation and air
conditioning and the fire suppression water consumed by Subtenant as a
Subtenant Utility) plus (y) reasonable cost of delivery of Subtenant's
Utilities incurred by Raytheon.
(c) "SPECIAL SERVICES" and "SPECIAL SERVICES CHARGES" shall mean those
Special Services and Special Services Charges described in Section 3.02 of
the Overlease; and
(d) "UTILITY CHARGES" shall mean the cost of Subtenant's Utilities and
applicable sales taxes that are paid by Raytheon, whether Subtenant's
Utilities are separately metered or equitably allocated.
Except to the extent Utility Charges and/or Special Service Charges are
directly invoiced to Subtenant by a third-party utility provider or by the
Overlandlord or some
<PAGE>
-9-
other third party (in which case Subtenant shall promptly pay any amounts
owed), Subtenant shall reimburse Raytheon for the Cost of Subtenant's
Utilities and Special Services as metered (where separately metered) and as
equitably allocated (where not metered), together with applicable sales
taxes. Subtenant shall cooperate with Raytheon in providing data on
Subtenant's operations necessary to calculate such allocation. Attached
hereto as EXHIBIT E is a schedule setting forth the estimated monthly
Utility Charges and Special Services Charges agreed between Raytheon and
Subtenant. Subtenant shall pay to Raytheon as Additional Rent, due upon
execution of this Sublease and one (1) month in advance of the first day of
every succeeding month, without notice, setoff, demand or deduction, an
estimated amount for such Utility Charges and Special Services Charges
which initially shall be $134,460 per month (until revised in accordance
with EXHIBIT E and/or the immediately succeeding paragraph, as applicable),
irrespective of the actual consumption period.
On or before March 15, 1999 and each March 15th thereafter during the term
of this Sublease, Raytheon shall reasonably estimate, and notify Subtenant
of, the amount to be paid by Subtenant as Utility Charges for each month of
the ensuing twelve month period, based on forecasts of the Cost of
Subtenant's Utilities for that calendar year, if available, or the actual
Cost of the Subtenant's Utilities during the previous calendar year. Such
estimated monthly amounts shall be due and payable to Raytheon one (1)
month in advance on the first day of every month without setoff, demand or
deduction, in lieu of the estimated monthly amount payable referred to in
the immediately preceding paragraph.
Commencing on June 15, 1998, and continuing quarterly on each September
15th, December 15th, March 15th and June 15th thereafter, Raytheon shall
determine and provide notice to the Subtenant of the actual Utility Charges
payable by Subtenant for the previous three (3) calendar month period (or
period from the date of this Sublease through May 31, 1998, in case of the
initial notice). If the estimated amount of Utility Charges paid by
Subtenant for such period differs from the actual amount, then Subtenant
shall pay to Raytheon any underpayment within thirty (30) days following
receipt of such statement or Raytheon shall credit against the next rentals
payable by Subtenant the amount of any overpayment as the case may require;
provided, however, that if this Sublease has terminated or expired, any
overpayments shall be remitted to Subtenant by Raytheon together with
Raytheon's reconciliation notice. The obligations under this Section 8
shall survive termination, expiration or abandonment of this Sublease.
Subtenant shall make arrangements for Subtenant's telephone requirements
and shall timely pay all charges in connection with Subtenant's telephone
usage and needs.

SECTION 1.01. LEASED PREMISES AND PRIMARY TERM.
This Lease Agreement ("Lease") is entered into as of July 11, 1997, by ad

leases from Lessor, the Leased Premises for a primary term of sixty (60) months
beginning at 11:59 p.m. on July 11, 1997 (the "Commencement Date") and ending at

described on Exhibit "A-1" attached hereto and made a part hereof; (ii) at the
end of the Transition Period (hereinafter defined), the premises described on
Exhibit "A-2" attached hereto and made a part hereof, as the same may be
modified by the agreement of both parties in writing during the Transition

<PAGE>
SECTION 1.02. USE.
Subject to the terms, provisions, covenants, agreements and conditions
herein, the Leased Premises are to be used by Lessee solely for (i) operations
as currently conducted in the Leased Premises as part of the Acquired Business
(together with such changes thereto as may be comparable in general nature and
character); (ii) similar manufacturing operations as currently conducted
elsewhere by the Acquired Business, or any comparable business of Raytheon or
its subsidiaries as of the Commencement Date (together with such changes thereto
as may be comparable in general nature and character), including electronics
assembly and light manufacturing, warehousing, research and development, and
related activities, provided any such activities do not violate applicable
zoning requirements; or (iii) any office use or warehouse use, provided such
uses comply with applicable zoning requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lessee shall not use, store, process or package in the Leased Premises (a) any
chemical in quantities sufficient to trigger either the Occupational Safety and
Health Act's ("OSHA") Process Safety Management (PSM) rules, 29 C.F.R. Section
1910.119, or the United States Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA") Clean
Air Act Accidental Release Prevention rules, 40 C.F.R. Pt. 68 Subpt. G, or
(b) without the prior approval of Lessor, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, any hazardous or toxic chemical or radioactive material
not currently used, stored or processed at the Leased Premises. Other proposed
uses shall be allowed with Lessor's prior consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Lessee agrees to use the Leased Premises only for the
intended uses specified herein, and without unreasonable interference with TI's
operations or those of any other lessee or other occupant of the TI Expressway
Site. Lessee further agrees that Lessee and its employees, agents, contractors,
and visitors (while at the TI Expressway Site) will adhere to, and the use of
the Leased Premises and other areas of the TI Expressway Site to which access is
granted hereunder will be consistent with, the following specific rules:
(1) No firearms or explosives (other than potentially reactive or
flammable materials used in manufacturing processes allowed by and otherwise
used, stored and handled in conformance with this Lease Agreement) will be
permitted on the TI Expressway Site;
(2) No intoxicants or illegal drugs will be permitted on the
TI Expressway Site;
(3) Lessee shall, upon becoming aware of such person, remove from
the TI Expressway Site any employee, agent, contractor or other visitor of
Lessee under the influence of intoxicants or illegal drugs while on the
TI Expressway Site;
(4) Smoking will be prohibited inside all buildings located on the
TI Expressway Site. Subject to other safety-related restrictions that may be
imposed by TI from time to time, smoking will be allowed outdoors on the TI
Expressway Site except within approximately 100 feet of an outside door;

on the TI Expressway Site; and
-2-
<PAGE>
(6) Except for any use within the Leased Premises, no cameras or
video recorders (other than security cameras or cameras for construction, health
and safety documentation) will be used on the TI Expressway Site except in
accordance with any applicable TI security requirements.
In addition to the foregoing, TI may from time to time adopt other
rules or regulations generally applying to occupants, including tenants, of the
TI Expressway Site for the management, safety, care and cleanliness of, and
preservation of good order and protection of property in the Leased Premises and
the TI Expressway Site. Any such rules and regulations or changes and
amendments thereto sent by Lessor to Lessee and conforming to the foregoing
standards shall be carried out and observed by Lessee.
Subject to any more specific articulation of compliance
responsibilities with respect to environmental matters as set forth herein,
Lessee further agrees to comply with all applicable City, County, State and
Federal laws and regulations, including, without limitation, building codes,
electrical codes and fire codes which now are or hereafter become applicable to
the Leased Premises and, to the extent made necessary in connection with
Lessee's use of the Leased Premises, to any other portion of the TI Expressway
Site.
Nothing contained in this Lease, however, shall be construed to
prevent Lessee from adopting or otherwise implementing standards or policies
with respect to Lessee's occupancy, use or operations on the Leased Premises
that are more stringent than required by applicable laws and regulations.
SECTION 1.03. QUIET ENJOYMENT.
Subject to Article 25, and except as otherwise provided herein, Lessee
shall have quiet and peaceful enjoyment of the Leased Premises during the Lease
Term.
SECTION 1.04. RENEWAL OPTION.
While this Lease is in full force and effect, provided that there is no
uncured material default beyond expiration of any applicable grace or cure
period by Lessee of any of the terms, covenants, and conditions hereof, Lessee
shall have three (3) separate options to extend the term of this Lease for the
further term of sixty (60) months each (each such term being referred to herein
as a "Renewal Term"). Except as specifically stated elsewhere in this Lease,
and subject to adjustment of rent as described in Section 2.01 below, such
renewals shall be on the same terms, covenants, and conditions as provided for
in this Lease. Notice of Lessee's intention to exercise its option to renew
this Lease as permitted by this Section 1.04 (the "Renewal Notice") must be
given to Lessor not less than twelve (12) nor more than eighteen (18) months
prior to the expiration of the Primary Term or the then current Renewal Term, as
applicable. The Primary Term and any and all Renewal Terms are collectively
referred to herein as the "Lease Term."

SECTION 1.05. TRANSITION ACTIVITIES.
Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that certain relocations, consolidation,
construction, and modifications to the Leased Premises, TI Expressway Site
and/or other premises owned or operated by Lessor or Lessee and related
activities (the "Transition Activities") are necessary and will occur following
commencement of the Primary Term to accommodate certain requirements and
expectations of Lessee and Lessor. Such Transition Activities shall be
implemented by Lessor and conducted in accordance with the mutual agreement of
the parties acting in good faith. The period during which Transition Activities
are occurring that affect the final configuration of the Leased Premises is
referred to herein as the "North Building Transition Period."
ARTICLE 2
RENTAL
SECTION 2.01. BASE RENT.
Lessee shall pay Base Rent to Lessor in advance on the Commencement Date
and on the first day of each month thereafter, without (subject to Article 34,
below) setoff, demand, or deduction during the Lease Term. During the first
year of the Primary Term of this Lease, the Base Rent shall be Three Million One
Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($3,175,000.00) per annum,
payable in equal monthly installments of Two Hundred Sixty-Four Thousand Five
Hundred Eighty-Three and No/100 Dollars ($264,583.00) per month. During the
Primary Term, Base Rent shall be adjusted annually on each anniversary of the
Commencement Date, so that Base Rent payable during the Primary Term shall be
paid as follows:
Lease Period Annual Rent Monthly Rent
------------ ----------- ------------
1st Year $ 3,175,000. $ 264,585
2nd Year $ 5,728,000. $ 477,333
3rd Year $ 9,341,000. $ 778,417
4th Year $ 12,954,000. $ 1,079,500
5th Year $ 12,954,000. $ 1,079,500
Payment shall be made in accordance with Section 2.04 below. Base Rent
shall include the Basic Services set forth in Section 3.01. below.
Base Rent shall be subject to adjustment at the commencement of each
Renewal Term (in each case, "Adjustment Date") as follows:
(a) The base for computing the adjustment is the Consumer Price Index,
published bimonthly by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics ("BLS") in CPI DETAILED REPORT, Consumer Price Index All Urban
Consumers (CPI-U): Selected Areas, All Items Index (Dallas/Fort Worth)
(1982-1984=100) ("Index"). The number indicated in the Index for the
-4-
<PAGE>
month and the year in which the Commencement Date occurs shall be the "Base
Index." The number in the Index for the month and the year which is 45 days
prior to the month and the year in which the rent adjustment occurs shall be the
"Current Index." The Current Index shall take into consideration any changes
arising from the BLS publishing data on a base period other than 1982-1984=100.
(b) Except as set forth in clause (c) below, forty-five (45) days prior to
each Adjustment Date, if the Current Index has increased over the Base Index,
the Base Rent for the Renewal Term (until the next rent adjustment) shall be set
by multiplying the Base Rent for the fifth year of the Primary Term by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Current Index and the denominator of
which is the Base Index. If the Current Index has decreased from the Index
employed at the previous Adjustment Date, the Base Rent for the Renewal Term
(until the next rent adjustment) shall be set by multiplying the Base Rent for
the fifth year of the Primary Term by a faction, the numerator of which is the
Current Index and the denominator of which is the Base Index, such that the Base
Rent for the Renewal Term shall be less than the Base Rent for the previous
term. Provided however, that in no case shall the Base Rent be less than the
Base Rent for the fifth year of the Primary Term. The new Base Rent shall take
effect on the Adjustment Date and Tenant shall be provided with written notice
of such new Base Rent thirty (30) days prior to the Adjustment Date.
(c) If, forty-five (45) days prior to the Adjustment Date, the Current
Index for such date is not yet available, Lessee shall pay Lessor the Base Rent
for the Primary Term as it may have been previously increased or decreased,
until such Current Index is published and available, at which time Lessee shall
pay Lessor the increase, if any, retroactively from the applicable Adjustment
Date.
(d) If the index is discontinued or revised during the Lease Term, such
other government index or computation with which it is replaced shall be used in
order to obtain substantially the same result as would be obtained if the index
had not been discontinued or revised.
SECTION 2.02. ADDITIONAL RENT AND SPECIAL SERVICES CHARGES.
As additional rent ("Additional Rent"), which shall also be due on a
monthly basis and payable in accordance with Section 2.04, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor all other amounts that Lessee is obligated to pay under the terms of this
Lease, including, without limitation, Special Services Charges for Special
Services described in Section 3.02 below and requested by Lessee.
SECTION 2.03. UTILITY CHARGES.
For the purpose of this Lease, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:
(a) "Lessee's Utilities" shall mean the electricity, natural gas, water
(city), sewer, and fire suppression water as Lessee may reasonably require and
request from time to time during the Lease Term for the conduct of its business
and consistent with historical usage by the Defense Business within the Leased
Premises; and
-5-
<PAGE>
(b) "Cost of Lessee's Utilities" shall mean the sum of (X) the cost paid
by Lessor to a third party provider of the electricity, sewer, water (city) and
natural gas utilities consumed as Lessee's Utilities (including without
limitation any such utilities consumed to provide the heating, ventilation and
air conditioning and the fire suppression water consumed by Lessee as a Lessee's
Utility) plus (Y) reasonable cost of delivery of Lessee's Utilities incurred by
Lessor.
Except to the extent Utility Charges (as defined below) are directly
invoiced to Lessee by a third-party utility provider (in which case Lessee shall
promptly pay any amounts owed), Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for the Cost of
Lessee's Utilities as metered (where separately metered) and as equitably
allocated (where not metered), together with applicable sales taxes (the
"Utility Charges"). Lessee shall pay to Lessor as Additional Rent, due one (1)
month in advance on the first day of every month, without setoff, demand or
deduction, an estimated amount for such Utility Charges which initially shall be
Three Hundred Forty Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($340,500) per
month, irrespective of the actual consumption period, based on Lessor's Annual
Utility Plan for 1997, if available, or the actual cost of the Lessee's
Utilities for calendar year 1996.
On or before February 15, 1998 and each February 15 thereafter during the
Lease Term, Lessor shall reasonably estimate, and notify Lessee of, the amount
to be paid by Lessee as Utility Charges for each month of the ensuing twelve
month period, based on forecasts of the cost of Lessor's Utilities for that
calendar year, if available, or the actual cost of the Lessee's Utilities during
the previous calendar year. Such estimated monthly amounts shall also be due
and payable to Lessor one (1) month in advance on the first day of every month
without setoff, demand or deduction.
Commencing on the first such date to occur after a period of three (3) full
calendar months after the expiration of the North Building Transition Period and
continuing quarterly on each February 15, May 15, August 15, and November 15,
Lessor shall determine and provide notice to Lessee of the actual Utility
Charges payable by Lessee for the previous three (3) calendar month period. If
the estimated amount of Utility Charges paid by Lessee for such three (3) month
period differs from the actual amount, then Lessee shall pay to Lessor any
underpayment within thirty (30) days following receipt of such statement or
Lessor shall credit against the next rentals payable by Lessee the amount of any
overpayment as the case may require; provided, however, that if this Lease has
terminated or expired, any overpayment shall be remitted to Lessee by Lessor
together with the Lessor's reconciliation notice. The obligations under this
Section 2.03 shall survive termination, expiration or abandonment of this Lease.
SECTION 2.04. PAYMENT OF RENT.
Lessee shall pay Base Rent and Additional Rent (sometimes collectively
referred to herein as "Rent"), in U.S. dollars or other currency that, at the
time of the payment, is lawful money of, and legal tender for debts in, the
United States of America. Payments of Base Rent and Additional Rent for any
partial months shall be prorated based on a 365 day year. Payments of Rent
shall be sent to the following address:

At all times during the Lease Term, Lessor shall provide or cause to be
provided to Lessee at the Leased Premises as appropriate, the following services
("Basic Services") as an incident to this Lease (the charges for these services
are included in Base Rent):
(1) Lessor shall maintain the roof and structural elements of the
Leased Premises in good operable condition and repair, reasonable
wear and tear excepted, including, without limitation, the making
of any capital repairs or capital
-7-
<PAGE>
improvements required to comply, in all material respects, with
any law, building code, rule, regulation, judicial mandate, or
other governmental requirement, excluding, however, (i) any
maintenance requirements necessitated by Alterations (as defined
below) made by Lessee, and (ii) requirements to be performed by
Lessee under Section 17b, below.
(2) Lessor shall maintain the grounds of the TI Expressway Site in
good condition and repair, including without limitation:
(A) maintenance of parking lots, roads, building grounds,
outside lighting, underground utility lines for
electricity, water, storm and other sewers, cooling and
heating water, fire protection sprinklers and piping, and
other utilities serving the areas of the TI Expressway
Site outside of the Leased Premises.
(B) clearing of ice and snow from sidewalks; and
(C) landscaping, including replacement and trimming of plants
outside the Leased Premises.
The services provided hereunder shall be available during the hours
similar services are provided by Lessor to other occupants of the TI Expressway
Site. All such services shall be provided by personnel designated in the sole
discretion of Lessor.
Subject to Articles 21 and 35, this Lease has been entered into by
Lessor and Lessee with the understanding that Lessee's Utilities will be
available for consumption and use in the Leased Premises during the Leased Term
at volumes and pressures of such utilities historically consumed and used by the
Defense Business operations being conducted in the Leased Premises as if the
Defense Business had been conducted in the entire Leased Premises. Lessor
agrees that it will take no actions which will materially and adversely affect
the volume, pressure, and availability of the Lessee's Utilities, without the
prior consent of Lessee. Subject to the foregoing sentence, in no event shall
Lessor be liable for any failure of a gas, electricity, water, telephone, sewer
utility or other utility to provide a sufficient, uninterrupted quantity of
water, electricity, gas, telephone or sewer or other utility service to the
Leased Premises, except to the extent (a) such failure results from Lessor's
non-payments to the supplier (unless such non-payment results from Lessee's
failure to reimburse Lessor for such utility service as required by this Lease),
or (b) Lessor's failure to maintain orders/contracts with a supplier for
delivery of such utility as previously consumed and used by the Defense Business
operations being conducted in the Leased Premises. Lessor will reasonably
cooperate with Lessee to pass through to Lessee any rights Lessor may have
against any provider of such utilities in the event of any interruption or
failure of services by such utility provider.

parties. Special Services may include, but are not limited to: provision of
deionized/reverse osmosis water engineering, maintenance, construction and other

of any such mechanic's lien and shall take all necessary legal actions,

operations of the Defense Business which are Assumed Liabilities on or prior to
the Commencement Date, irrespective of either party's negligence.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessee's obligations
under this Article 12 shall survive termination, expiration or abandonment of
this Lease.

SECTION 12.04. LESSOR'S ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION.
Lessor agrees to defend, indemnify, protect and hold Lessee, its officers,
directors, employees, representatives, agents, affiliates, successors, and
assigns harmless from and against, and, upon demand, to pay or reimburse each
such party promptly with respect to, any and all Environmental Claims (other
than Environmental Claims associated with or resulting from the operations of
the Defense Business which are Assumed Liabilities) to the extent incurred by
Lessee or asserted by any governmental authority, person or entity, at any time,
and from time to time, by reason of, in connection with or arising out of
(1) Lessor's breach of or noncompliance with any environmental, health or safety
law (including, without limitation, principles of common law), regulation,
ordinance, rule, permit, or license relating to the TI Expressway Site or
Lessor's use of the TI Expressway Site, (2) the failure of Lessor to perform any
obligation required to be performed or make or file any report required to be
made or filed by Lessor pursuant to any environmental, health, or safety permit,
license, regulation, law or other standard relating to the TI Expressway Site or
Lessor's use of the TI Expressway Site, (3) any act, omission, event or
circumstance existing or occurring before the term of this Lease resulting in
any release, discharge, disposal, or emission on or adjacent to the Leased
Premises or the TI Expressway Site, or release, discharge, disposal, or emission
from or adjacent to the TI Space (defined below) of hazardous, toxic or
radioactive substances, solid wastes or air contaminants requiring removal,
remediation or other action under applicable environmental, health and safety
laws, regardless of whether the act, omission, event or circumstance constituted
a violation of any environmental, health or safety law or standard at the time
of the existence or occurrence to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of
Lessor, its employee, contractors, agents, officers or directors, and (4) any
and all claims or proceedings made or brought (whether brought by an employee or
other private party or governmental agency) for bodily injury, property
impairment or any other injury or damage resulting from or relating to, and/or
any legally imposed requirements for the monitoring, remediation, investigation
or removal of any hazardous, toxic or radioactive substance, contaminated
material, or air contaminant located upon or migrating into, from or through the
TI Expressway Site to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of Lessor, its
employees, contractors, agents, officers or directors, whether or not the
alleged liability is attributable to the handling, storage, generation,
transportation or disposal of such substance or the mere presence of the
substance on the TI Expressway Site; including claims based on strict liability.
In the event any loss or damage is attributable to both Lessor and Lessee,
Lessor agrees, without regard to any concurrent or other negligence by Lessee
(if any), to provide Lessee with comparative indemnification for that portion of
the loss or damage which is attributable to Lessor and/or Lessor's officers,
directors, employees, contractors, agents or visitors, excluding any portion of
such loss or damage attributable to the operations of the Defense Business which
are Assumed Liabilities on or prior to the Commencement Date, irrespective of
either Party's negligence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Lease, Lessor's obligations under this Article 12 shall survive termination,
expiration or abandonment of this Lease. As used herein, "TI Space" shall mean
any portion of the TI Expressway Site which is not (i) part of the Leased
Premises or (ii) otherwise leased by Lessee at the time of such event or
activity.

ARTICLE 13
EMERGENCIES/REPORTING OBLIGATIONS
SECTION 13.01. REPORTING TO LESSOR.
In the event of emergency situations of which Lessee is aware (including,
without limitation, fires, accidental chemical spills or exposures, unauthorized
air emissions, unauthorized radiation emissions or exposures, unauthorized
discharges into waste streams, or other environmental, industrial hygiene or
safety emergencies), Lessee shall immediately report such occurrence to Lessor.
SECTION 13.02. REPORTING TO GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES.
With respect to Lessee's use of the Leased Premises during the Lease Term,
Lessee shall be solely responsible for compliance with all governmental
reporting duties imposed upon Lessee by applicable laws, and (in addition to
reporting to Lessor as provided in the preceding paragraph) Lessee shall report
any emergency situation to the applicable governmental agency (if any) to the
extent required by, and within the time periods prescribed by, applicable laws.
In the event Lessee fails to comply with its statutory or contractual duty to
report such emergency situations to any governmental agency, Lessor may, but
shall not be obligated to, upon learning of such failure, report such matters.
The parties shall coordinate in an effort to avoid duplicate reporting of any
emergency situation. Under no circumstances, however, shall this provision be
construed to be an assumption by Lessor of any reporting duty on behalf of
Lessee.
ARTICLE 14
TAXES
Ad valorem taxes for the Leased Premises will be charged by Lessor to
Lessee during the Lease Term, and Lessee shall pay and discharge as Additional
Rent such ad valorem taxes for the North Building, based on Lessee's
proportionate share thereof, which shall be that percentage derived by dividing
(1) the NSF of the Leased Premises in the building (exclusive of the Exterior
Equipment Locations), by (2) the total of (a) the NSF of the Leased Premises in
the building (exclusive of the Exterior Equipment Locations), and (b) the NSF of
any TI space, if any, in the building (i.e. any net square footage in the
building that is not included in the Leased Premises). Ad valorem taxes for the
North Building will be determined based on the North Building's pro rata share
of TI Expressway Site site-wide taxes, calculated on the basis of net book
value, as reflected in the records maintained by Lessor's Corporate Services
Finance Department prepared in accordance with disclosure statement approved by
the Defense Logistics Agency/DCAA or with generally accepted accounting
principles. Such taxes shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days after notice
from Lessor. Lessor and Lessee shall reasonably cooperate regarding ad valorem
tax issues, and avoid actions which would result in unfair discrimination with
regard to allocation or distribution of ad valorem taxes or the property
assessments on which such taxes are based.
-22-
<PAGE>
Except for ad valorem taxes assessed directly on the TI Expressway Site,
all taxes and assessments now or hereinafter imposed upon Lessee with respect to
its operations or property, now or hereinafter imposed, shall be borne and
timely paid directly by Lessee to the taxing authority.
ARTICLE 15
NO JOINT VENTURE, PARTNERSHIP, OR AGENT RELATIONSHIP
The relationship between Lessor and Lessee, with regard to this Lease, is
strictly that of lessor/lessee and contracting parties; Lessor and Lessee are
not partners, joint venturers or agents of each other.
Additionally, notwithstanding any services or assistance provided by Lessor
or Lessee to the other hereunder or under any other agreement;
(a) Neither party shall be responsible, either directly or indirectly,
expressly or impliedly, for compliance with any laws applicable to the other's
particular use of the TI Expressway Site;
(b) Lessee shall be solely responsible for its compliance with
environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations relating to Lessee's
operations in or about the Leased Premises, and Lessee shall prepare or cause to

handling of its hazardous waste, potentially recyclable hazardous materials, and
any other waste generated by Lessee or its agents or contractors requiring
manifests under applicable law;
(c) Lessee shall not be responsible, either directly or indirectly,
expressly or impliedly, for Lessor's compliance with any laws, regulations,
ordinances, permits, or licenses applicable to Lessor's use of the TI Expressway
Site; and

environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations relating to Lessor's
operations in or about the TI Space, and Lessor shall prepare or cause to be
prepared all documentation and make all arrangements for disposal or other
handling of its hazardous waste, potentially recyclable hazardous materials, and
any other waste generated by Lessor or its agents or contractors requiring
manifests under applicable law.

LESSEE'S ENVIRONMENTAL, INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY COVENANTS,
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
In addition to the other provisions of this Lease, Lessee covenants,
represents and warrants that, during the term of this Lease and so long as
Lessee or any of Lessee's employees, contractors, agents or visitors are located
in the Leased Premises or are on the TI Expressway Site, Lessee shall comply
with the following:
(a) Lessee shall not violate, and Lessee shall not take any action that
would cause Lessor to be out of compliance with, any environmental, safety, or
industrial hygiene law (including, without limitation, principles of common law)
or any applicable permit, license, or authorization; Lessee shall comply with
each and every environmental permit issued to Lessee with respect to its use of
the Leased Premises as a result of Lessee's use or occupancy of the Leased
Premises, whether any such permit is issued in the name of Lessor, Lessee or any
third party; Lessee shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any and
all permits, licenses, authorizations, approvals, and exemptions as required for
Lessee's operations on the Leased Premises or Lessee's use of the TI Expressway
Site under this Lease under applicable environmental, safety, and industrial
hygiene laws, and Lessee shall pay for all fees and costs associated with
environmental permit applications, permit amendments, modifications or
revisions, registrations, governmental assessments or other governmental charges
of every type whatsoever relating to Lessee's operations on the Leased Premises
or its use of the TI Expressway Site under this Lease. The parties acknowledge
and agree that because of the nature and configuration of the TI Expressway
Site, (1) Lessor and Lessee shall petition the Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission (TNRCC) to designate the Leased Premises and the balance
of the TI Expressway Site as a single property for purposes of evaluating air
quality impacts pursuant to 30 Texas Administrative Code Section 101.2(b) and
shall enter into a single property designation agreement effective as of the
Commencement Date substantially in the form attached as Exhibit "B" hereto and
made a part hereof; and (2) during the North Building Transition Period, Lessor
and Lessee may both discharge under Lessor's waste water permit from the City of
Dallas, Permit No. 040224, together with any renewals, reissuances, or
modifications thereof (the "TI Waste Water Permit"), a copy of which has been
provided by Lessor to Lessee, provided, however, Lessee shall be responsible for
ensuring that its discharges comply with the terms of such permit, provided,
however, either prior to or during the North Building Transition Period, Lessee
shall apply for and diligently pursue issuance of a separate waste water
discharge permit covering its waste water discharges from the TI Expressway Site
(prior to the point such discharges commingle with those of Lessor). Upon
issuance of such separate permit, Lessee's waste water discharges at the TI
Expressway Site, including those from the North Building, will be governed by
such permit up to the point they commingle with the waste water discharges of
TI, from which point to combined outfall CWTP-16 they will be covered by the TI
Waste Water Permit. At Lessor's request, Lessee agrees at its cost to sample
Lessee's waste water sampling ports concurrently with Lessor's sampling of its
waste water sampling ports.
(b) Lessee shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws
and lawful orders of any governmental entity, public authority or judicial
authority applicable to its use of the Leased
-24-
<PAGE>
Premises and Lessee's operations thereon, including, without limitation, any
notice, reporting, and record keeping obligations imposed by any of the
foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessee
acknowledges it shall comply with all reporting obligations under laws relating
to the health or safety of persons or property or their protection from damage,
injury or loss, and with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act
and Texas Architectural Barriers Act to the extent such requirements first
become applicable as a result of Lessee's Alterations, repairs or improvements
or Lessee's specific use of the Leased Premises.
(c) Lessee shall designate a responsible member of its organization at the
Leased Premises, to function as the liaison between Lessor and Lessee in the
event either party deems it necessary to contact the other for purposes of
environmental, safety or industrial hygiene matters.
(d) Lessee shall exercise at least the level of care and skill customary
in its industry, and conduct all dangerous activities on the Leased Premises
under the supervision of properly qualified personnel; any hazardous, toxic or
radioactive materials, substances or wastes will be properly containerized,
labeled and stored; Material Safety Data Sheets, as defined in 29 C.F.R. Section
1910.1200 or any successor regulation, will be properly kept by Lessee and
furnished to the TI Facilities Coordinator. Hazardous materials will not be
stored in stairwells, along emergency egress routes, near air handlers or
systems or otherwise in a manner that poses a hazard; gas cylinders will be
secured at all times.
(e) Lessee shall obtain its own EPA and TNRCC Identification Numbers,
arrange for disposal, and be identified on manifests as the generator, of all
hazardous or other waste generated from or otherwise arising out of Lessee's
operations on the Leased Premises.
(f) Lessee shall comply with all hazardous, toxic and radioactive waste
and materials handling and storage requirements under applicable laws,
regulations, ordinances and permits, and will exercise the utmost care when
handling and transporting such materials across the TI Space to which Lessee may
have access in the buildings in which the Leased Premises are located, and
across the TI Expressway Site.
(g) All hazardous, toxic or radioactive materials or substances delivered
or brought to the TI Expressway Site by Lessee, its employees, contractors, or
suppliers, will be received at a dock authorized to receive such materials. All
docks which receive such materials shall have the following spill control
measures: areas are to be sized for a free liquid volume capacity the greater
of 1.0 x the largest tank volume involved, or ten percent (10%) of the volume of
all tanks involved, or two percent (2%) of the total volume stored in drums,
carboys, or smaller containers at the location. Spill control secondary
containment structures must be free of cracks and impermeable to leakage or
migration of any spills to the ground or support foundation.
(h) Lessee shall ensure that all emergency exits, fire extinguishers,
electrical panels and equipment, aisles and passageways will be accessible and
kept clear at all times and maintained in compliance with applicable OSHA
requirements; Lessee shall apply good housekeeping practices throughout the
Leased Premises.
-25-
<PAGE>
(i) Lessee shall not make any changes in the character of (including
specific specification changes) or increase the volume of its actual air
emissions, other than de minimis increases, without the prior approval of TI.
In the event such approval is received, prior to applying for any air permit
amendment and during the application process, Lessee shall coordinate with the
TI Expressway Site Environmental Manager or his or her designee in determining
anticipated impacts of the requested changes.
(j) Lessee shall implement best management practices and, to the extent

(k) Lessee shall retain one or more Laser and Radiation Safety Officers,
trained and licensed to the extent required by applicable laws, to oversee and
ensure compliance with all radiation requirements applicable to the Leased
Premises.
Any action based upon any breach of the foregoing representations,
warranties or covenants by Lessee, its agents, employees, contractors, tenants
and assigns, shall survive termination, abandonment, or expiration of this
Lease.
ARTICLE 18
DISCLAIMER
Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, neither Lessee nor Lessor
makes any warranties, express or implied or otherwise, with respect to this
Lease; and subject to the terms of this Lease, Lessee acknowledges and agrees
that this Lease is made on an "as is" and "where is" basis. Lessee further
acknowledges that Lessor makes no implied covenants with respect to this Lease.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no receipt, review, consent,
approval, acquiescence or other knowledge of a party of, in or to any plans,
specifications, additions, alterations, improvements, equipment or process
changes proposed or taken by Lessee or Lessor shall be deemed, or in any way
construed, to be any representation, warranty or guaranty with respect to such
plan, specification, addition, alteration, improvement, equipment or process
change and shall not relieve the other party of any responsibility or liability
therefor.
ARTICLE 19
LESSOR'S AUDIT RIGHTS
Upon not less than forty-eight (48) hours prior notice to Lessee, Lessor,
at its sole cost, may, but shall not be obligated to, enter the Leased Premises
and inspect Lessee's environmental records and operations, and sample/monitor
Lessee's waste streams, radiation and air emissions, for the sole purpose of
determining whether Lessee is in compliance with this Lease, provided that any
entry shall minimize to the extent reasonably possible any interference with the
business or operations conducted in the Leased Premises. Lessee shall have the
right to designate a representative of Lessee
-26-
<PAGE>
to accompany Lessor and its representatives during the audit; provided, exercise
of such right does not alter the scheduling of the audit. Audits conducted by
Lessor pursuant to this Article 19 are for Lessor's benefit only. Lessor shall
not disclose any such audit, or information learned through such audit to any
third party, including any governmental authority, without the prior consent of
Lessee, except for an emergency situation as set forth in Article 13, and except
as otherwise required by law. Lessor shall, at Lessee's request, disclose all
findings within the scope of such audit to Lessee, and in all cases, shall
provide a copy of such audit to Lessee. In the event Lessor discovers that
Lessee is not in compliance with applicable laws or other covenants of this
Lease in any material respect, whenever reasonably necessary Lessor may, but
shall have no obligation to, take the least disruptive action necessary to
remedy such noncompliance by Lessee and protect the legitimate interests of
Lessor; provided however, except in emergency situations, Lessor shall afford
Lessee the prior opportunity to take such action within a ten (10) day period
(or shorter if warranted by the circumstances) before instituting any such
action, and Lessor shall only act, if at all, if Lessee fails to take any action
within the prescribed period or fails to diligently continue to implement such
action. In the event Lessor takes any such remedial action, Lessor shall not be
liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss or interruption of
business, by reason of making such reasonable and good faith determination and
taking such action; provided, however, Lessor shall be liable to Lessee for any
negligence or reckless disregard caused by Lessor, its employees, agents,
consultants, and contractors with respect to any action under this Article 19.
Lessor agrees in exercising its rights under this Article 19 to act in good
faith to avoid unreasonable interference with Lessee's operations at the TI
Expressway Site.
ARTICLE 20
ENTRY/RIGHT OF ACCESS
Due to the interconnectedness of the infrastructure serving the various
buildings on the TI Expressway Site, Lessor will require and Lessee hereby
agrees to grant to authorized personnel of Lessor (i) access to certain
infrastructure and utilities systems located in those areas of the North
Building indicated as "TI required access" areas on Exhibit A-4 hereto, as and
to the extent reasonably required by Lessor, and (ii) the right to continue to
monitor on Lessor's supervisory control and data acquisition ("SCADA") system,
utilities and process gas and fluid distribution systems located in the Leased
Premises that connect to the site-wide distribution system.
Lessor and its representatives may, acting in good faith to minimize to the
extent reasonably possible interference with Lessee's operations at the Leased
Premises and upon at least twenty-four (24) hours' prior notice to Lessee
(except in the case of emergency), and subject to any applicable U.S. Government
security requirements, enter the Leased Premises for any of the following
purposes:
(a) to make repairs to the Leased Premises required of Lessor under this
Lease;
(b) to provide access to the Leased Premises during normal business hours
for authorized third parties, including without limitation, governmental
agencies and, with the consent of Lessee,
-27-
<PAGE>
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, lenders, brokers,
purchasers, appraisers and, during the last eighteen (18) months of the Lease
Term prospective tenants;
(c) to inspect the Leased Premises and determine Lessee's compliance with
this Lease;
(d) to audit the compliance by Lessee as permitted in Article 19;
(e) to respond to emergency situations;
(f) to perform any work, which Lessor elects and is entitled to undertake,
made necessary by reason of any default by Lessee under the terms of this Lease;
(g) to carry out any other activity of Lessor permitted under this Lease;
and
(h) to perform services for Lessee hereunder.
Nothing herein shall be construed to impose or imply any duty upon Lessor
to do any such work which, under any provision of this Lease, it is not required
to perform; and the performance thereof by Lessor shall not constitute a waiver
of Lessee's default. Lessee shall reasonably cooperate with Lessor to ensure
provision of keys, combinations or codes as necessary to ensure adequate and
(where appropriate) immediate access to the Leased Premises as reasonably
required to provide Lessor with the access granted above. Lessee shall have the
right to designate a representative of Lessee to accompany Lessor and its
representatives when Lessor or its representatives are present on the Leased
Premises.
ARTICLE 21
BUILDING SYSTEMS SHUTDOWNS
Lessee acknowledges that Lessor may, from time to time during emergencies
or for purposes of building maintenance, need to shut down one or more of the
Utility Systems serving the buildings in which the Leased Premises are located.
Lessee agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lessor to allow Lessor to shut
down building systems for up to five (5) days annually to perform Utilities
Systems maintenance. Except in the case of an emergency, Lessor shall schedule
such shutdown with at least two (2) months notice to Lessee and prior approval
by Lessee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lessor
will cooperate with Lessee regarding all shutdowns so as to minimize any
potential disruption to Lessee's operations.
Lessee acknowledges that Utilities Systems shutdowns performed in
accordance with this Article 21 will benefit Lessee and Lessee's operations.
Lessor shall not be liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss or
interruption of business to Lessee. Lessor shall not be liable for any other
claimed damage to Lessee, by reason of any such Utilities Systems shutdown,
except to the
-28-
<PAGE>
extent due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or its
agents, employees, or contractors, nor shall Lessee be entitled to any abatement
of Rent by reason of any such Utilities Systems shutdown.
ARTICLE 22
HOLDING-OVER
If Lessee continues to occupy the Leased Premises beyond the Lease Term of
this Lease in the absence of a mutually agreed upon extended term, such
holding-over shall constitute a tenancy at will, except upon hold-over all the
monthly Rent rates shall increase to a sum of 150% of the then current Rent in
effect at the time of expiration of this Lease.
ARTICLE 23
SURRENDER OF THE LEASED PREMISES
Upon surrender of the Leased Premises for any reason, including
termination, abandonment, expiration or breach by Lessor, Lessee, at its expense
(except as otherwise expressly provided herein) shall remove from the Leased
Premises Lessee's Property, except for such Alterations that Lessor has agreed
that may at Lessee's election, be surrendered. Lessee will use all reasonable
efforts to avoid causing damage to the surrounding structure and to minimize
disruption of Lessor's operations. Subject to Articles 10 and 11, Lessee, at
its expense, will promptly repair any damage to the Leased Premises caused by
any removal of Lessee's property and Alterations therefrom and restore the
Leased Premises substantially to the same condition as at the commencement of
the Lease (without such equipment as Lessee is removing), reasonable wear and
tear and Alterations that Lessor states in writing may be surrendered at the
termination of the Lease excepted. Lessor's acceptance of any surrender of the
Leased Premises by Lessee shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Lessor
of any default by Lessee. Any of Lessee's Property not removed after surrender
shall become the property of Lessor. Upon such surrender, Lessee shall not
allow or cause any environmental, health, or safety permits or authorizations
relating to Lessee's use or occupancy of the Leased Premises to expire,
terminate, or lapse for a period of sixty (60) days after such surrender and
shall, at Lessor's request, execute such documentation as may be necessary or
desirable to transfer any such permits or authorizations to Lessor or Lessor's
designee.

(ii) For nonmonetary obligations, Lessor's failure to cure such
breach or non-compliance within thirty (30) days after actual receipt of

REMEDIES
SECTION 25.01. LESSOR'S REMEDIES.
If an Event of Default by Lessee shall have occurred, Lessor shall have the
right, at its election, then or at any time thereafter while such Event of
Default shall continue, to pursue any one or more of the following remedies,
without any notice or demand whatsoever:
(a) Terminate this Lease, without any liability whatsoever, in which
event, Lessee shall immediately surrender the Leased Premises to Lessor, and if
Lessee fails to do so, Lessor may, without prejudice to any other remedy which
it may have for possession or arrearages in Rent, enter upon or take possession
of the Leased Premises and expel or remove Lessee and any other person who may
be occupying the Leased Premises or any part thereof without being liable for
prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and Lessee agrees to pay to
Lessor, on demand, the amount of all loss and damage, including attorneys' fees,
which Lessor may suffer by reason of such termination;
-30-
<PAGE>
(b) Enter upon the Leased Premises without being liable for prosecution or
any claim for damages therefor, correct such default and, upon demand, recover
from Lessee all reasonable amounts expended, as Rent; or otherwise do whatever
Lessee is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease; and Lessee agrees to
reimburse Lessor, on demand, for any expenses, including attorneys' fees, which
Lessor may incur in connection with its attempts to effect compliance with
Lessee's obligations under this Lease, and Lessee further agrees that Lessor

to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor; or
(c) Enter upon and take custodial possession of the Leased Premises, and
use reasonable efforts to re-let the Leased Premises for a use comparable to
that of Lessee for the balance of the then current term without thereby causing
a termination or anticipatory breach of the Lease.
Pursuit of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any other
remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law or equity, nor
shall pursuit herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any Rent due
to Lessor hereunder or any damages accruing to Lessor by reason of the violation
of any of the terms, provisions or covenants herein contained. Failure by
Lessor to enforce one or more of the remedies provided herein upon an Event of
Default by Lessee shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of
such default, or any other violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions
or covenants herein contained.
SECTION 25.02. LESSEE'S REMEDIES.
If an Event of Default by Lessor shall have occurred, Lessee shall have the
right, at its election, then or at any time while such Event of Default shall
continue, to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any notice
or demand whatsoever:
(a) Terminate this Lease, in which event, Lessee shall immediately
surrender the Leased Premises to Lessor, and such date of surrender shall be
treated as if it were the date set forth above for the termination of the then
current term of the Lease; provided, however, Lessee may also assert any claim
Lessee may have against Lessor for amounts due from Lessor to Lessee hereunder
or for any other breach by Lessor hereunder. Lessor agrees to pay to Lessee, on
demand, the amount of all loss and damage, including attorneys' fees, which
Lessee may suffer by reason of such termination, and provided, however, Lessee
shall at all times be entitled to remove Lessee's property and Alterations
installed and paid for by Lessee from the Leased Premises, or
(b) Correct such default and, upon demand, recover from the Lessor, upon
invoice, all amounts reasonably expended; or otherwise do whatever Lessor is
obligated to do under the terms of this Lease; and Lessor agrees to reimburse
Lessee promptly, on demand, for any reasonable expenses, including attorneys'
fees, which Lessee may incur in connection with its attempts to effect
compliance with Lessor's obligations under this Lease, and Lessor further agrees
that Lessee shall not be liable for any damages resulting, to the Lessor from
such action, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Lessee.

Pursuit of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any other
remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law or equity; nor
shall pursuit herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any amount
due from Lessor to Lessee hereunder or any damages accruing to Lessee by reason
of the violation or otherwise due pursuant to any of the terms, provisions, or
covenants herein contained. Failure by Lessee to enforce one or more of the
remedies provided herein upon an Event of Default by Lessor shall not be deemed
or construed to constitute a waiver of such default, or any other violation or
breach of any of the terms, provisions or covenants herein contained.
ARTICLE 26

EXHIBIT G TO
ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
TRIQUINT SEMICONDUCTOR, INC.
GUARANTY AGREEMENT
This is a GUARANTY AGREEMENT, dated as of January 13, 1998 (the
"GUARANTY"), between TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"GUARANTOR"), and Raytheon TI Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"SELLER").
WHEREAS, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of
January 8, 1998 (the "ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), between the Seller and the
Guarantor, the Guarantor has agreed to purchase certain assets, and assume
certain liabilities of the Seller on the terms and conditions set forth in the
Asset Purchase Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Guarantor has assigned its rights to purchase such assets, and
assume such liabilities, under the Asset Purchase Agreement to its wholly-owned
subsidiary, TriQuint Semiconductor Texas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"BUYER"); and
WHEREAS, the Seller has required that the Guarantor, as the holder of all
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Buyer, guarantee all
obligations of the Buyer under or in connection with the Asset Purchase
Agreement, in connection with the performance by the Buyer of its obligations
under or in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement in order to induce the
Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase
Agreement and as consideration for the benefits accruing to the Guarantor as a
result of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises contained herein and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS. The
Guarantor hereby unconditionally guaranties to the Seller the payment and
performance in full of each Obligation (as hereinafter defined), when and as
such Obligation becomes due and payable or is otherwise required to be
performed, including all Obligations which would become due but for the
operation of the automatic stay pursuant to Section 362(a) of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code and the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code. As used herein, "Obligations" means all indebtedness,
obligations and liabilities of the Buyer to the Seller and its Affiliates,
existing on the date of this Guaranty or arising thereafter, direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated,
secured or unsecured, arising under or pursuant to the Asset Purchase
<PAGE>
-2-
Agreement, the Intellectual Property Agreement, the Supply Agreement, the Master
Services Agreement, the Sublease Agreements (each as defined in the Asset
Purchase Agreement), the Transition Agreements referred to in the Sublease
Agreements, the Non-Disclosure Agreement or any subcontract or work
authorization agreement entered into pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement or
the Master Services Agreement. The Guarantor agrees that if the Buyer shall
fail to pay or perform any Obligation when and as such Obligation shall be due
and payable or is otherwise required to be performed as set forth in the Asset
Purchase Agreement or the other applicable agreement or instrument, then the
Guarantor will make such payment of such Obligation in funds immediately
available to the Seller or otherwise perform such Obligation if such Obligation
does not entail the payment of money. This Guaranty is an absolute,
unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual payment and
performance by the Buyer of the Obligations and not of their collectibility
only, and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that the Seller first
attempt to collect any of the Obligations from the Buyer or resort to any
security or other means of obtaining payment of the Obligations that the Seller
now has or may acquire after the date hereof, or upon any other contingency
whatsoever. Payments or performance by the Guarantor hereunder may be required
by the Seller on any number of occasions.
Section 2. GUARANTOR'S FURTHER AGREEMENTS TO PAY. The Guarantor
further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as the guarantor only, to pay
to the Seller forthwith upon demand by the Seller in funds immediately available
to the Seller, all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable
legal expenses) incurred or expended by the Seller in connection with collecting
under this Guaranty and the enforcement hereof, together with interest on
amounts recoverable under this Guaranty from the later of (i) the date that such
amounts have become due and payable under the Asset Purchase Agreement or other
applicable agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, as finally
determined in accordance with the provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement or
such other agreement or instrument, and (ii) the date demand for payment
hereunder is made, until payment, at a rate per annum equal to the "prime rate"
as in effect from time to time (determined based on the prime rate published in
the Wall Street Journal under the heading "Money Rates") plus 2%, provided that
the maximum amount of interest that may be charged to or collected from the
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolutely limited to, and shall in no
event exceed, the maximum amount of interest that could lawfully be charged or
collected under applicable law.
Section 3. TERMINATION OF GUARANTY. The obligations of the Guarantor
under this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect until the
Obligations are finally paid and satisfied in full, provided that this Guaranty
shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at
any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Obligations is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or
reorganization of the Buyer, or otherwise, as though such payment had not been
made or other satisfaction occurred.
<PAGE>
-3-
No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of the federal
Bankruptcy Code or any insolvency or other similar law, or any law or order of
any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect
the Obligations shall impair, affect, or be a defense to or claim against the
obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty.
Section 4. WAIVERS BY GUARANTOR; SELLER'S FREEDOM TO ACT. The
Guarantor agrees that the Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in
accordance with their respective terms, regardless of any law, regulation or
order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms
or the rights of the Seller with respect thereto. The Guarantor waives
promptness, diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance,
notice of any Obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind, other than
demand for payment hereunder, and all defenses which may be available by virtue
of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in
effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of the Buyer or any other
entity or other Person (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) primarily or
secondarily liable with respect to any of the Obligations, and all suretyship
defenses generally. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Guarantor agrees to the provisions of any instrument evidencing, securing or
otherwise executed in connection with any Obligation and agrees that the
obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in
whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Seller to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Buyer
or any other entity or other Person primarily or secondarily liable with respect
to any of the Obligations; (ii) any extensions, compromise, consolidation or
renewals of any Obligation; (iii) any change in the time, place or manner of
payment of any of the Obligations or any rescissions, waivers, compromise,
consolidation, amendments or modifications of any of the terms or provisions of
the Asset Purchase Agreement or any other agreement evidencing, securing or
otherwise executed in connection with any of the Obligations; (iv) the addition,
substitution or release of any entity or other Person primarily or secondarily
liable for any Obligation; (v) the adequacy of any rights which the Seller may
have against any collateral security or other means of obtaining repayment of
any of the Obligations; (vi) the impairment of any collateral securing any of
the Obligations, including without limitation the failure to perfect or preserve
any rights which the Seller might have in such collateral security or the
substitution, exchange, surrender, release, loss or destruction of any such
collateral security; or (vii) any other act or omission which might in any
manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a
release or discharge of the Guarantor, all of which may be done without notice
to the Guarantor. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Guarantor hereby
expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (A) any
"one action" or "anti-deficiency" law which would otherwise prevent the Seller
from bringing any action, including any claim for a deficiency, or exercising
any other right or remedy (including any right of set-off), against the
Guarantor before or after the Seller's commencement or completion of any action,
whether judicially, by exercise of power of sale or
<PAGE>
-4-
otherwise, or (B) any other law which in any other way would otherwise require
any election of remedies by the Seller.
Section 5. BUYER'S DEFENSES AVAILABLE TO GUARANTOR. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, but without in any way affecting the
Guarantor's waiver of suretyship defenses generally pursuant to Section 4, the
Guarantor shall be entitled to rely on any defenses to the payment or
performance of any Obligation that the Buyer is entitled to rely on pursuant to
the Asset Purchase Agreement, other than any defenses that are personal to the
Buyer such as lack of capacity or authority or discharge in bankruptcy.
Section 6. UNENFORCEABILITY OF OBLIGATIONS AGAINST THE BUYER. If for
any reason the Buyer has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to
discharge any of the Obligations, or if any of the Obligations have become
irrecoverable from the Buyer by reason of the Buyer's insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization or by other operation of law or for any other reason, this
Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on the Guarantor to the same extent as if
the Guarantor at all times had been the principal obligor on all such
Obligations. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment or
performance of any of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of the Buyer, or for any other reason, all such amounts
otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Asset Purchase
Agreement or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in
connection with any Obligation shall be immediately due and payable by the
Guarantor.
Section 7. SUBROGATION. Until the final payment and performance in
full of all of the Obligations: (i) the Guarantor shall not exercise any rights
against the Buyer arising as a result of payment or performance by the Guarantor
hereunder, by way of subrogation, reimbursement, restitution, contribution or
otherwise, and will not prove any claim in competition with the Seller in
respect of any payment hereunder in any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
case or proceedings of any nature; (ii) the Guarantor will not claim any setoff,
recoupment or counterclaim against the Buyer in respect of any liability of the
Guarantor to the Buyer; and (iii) the Guarantor waives any benefit of and any
right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by the Seller.
Section 8. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Guarantor agrees to do all such
things and execute all such documents as the Seller may consider necessary or
desirable to give full effect to this Guaranty and to perfect and preserve the
rights and powers of the Seller hereunder. The Guarantor acknowledges and
confirms that the Guarantor itself has established its own adequate means of
obtaining from the Buyer on a continuing basis all information desired by the
Guarantor concerning the financial condition of the Buyer and that the Guarantor
will look to the Buyer and not to the Seller in order for the Guarantor to keep
adequately informed of changes in the financial condition of the Buyer.

availability of remedies.
Section 9.3. NON-CONTRAVENTION. Neither the execution and
delivery of this Guaranty by the Guarantor nor the consummation by the Guarantor
of the transactions contemplated hereby will constitute a violation of, or be in
conflict with, or constitute or create a default under, or result in the
creation or imposition of any Encumbrance (as defined in the Asset Purchase
Agreement) upon any property of the Guarantor pursuant to any statute,
regulation, rule, judgment, order, decree, stipulation, injunction, charge or
other restriction of any government, governmental agency or court or other

MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT
(Quasi)
THIS MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT, dated as of 6/27/97 ("Agreement"), between
General Electric Capital Corporation, with an office at 4 North Park Drive
Suite 500, Hunt Valley, MD, 21030 (hereinafter called, together with its
successors and assigns, if any, "Lessor"), and Triquint Semiconductor, Inc.,
a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware
___ with its mailing address and chief place of business at 2320 NE Brookwood
Parkway, Hillsboro, OR 97124 (hereinafter called "Lessee").
WITNESSETH:
I. LEASING:
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Lessor agrees to
lease to Lessee, and Lessee agrees to lease from Lessor, the equipment
("Equipment") described in Annex A to any schedule hereto ("Schedule"). Terms
defined in a Schedule and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in such Schedule. (b) The obligation of Lessor to
purchase Equipment from the manufacturer or supplier thereof ("Supplier") and
to lease the same to Lessee under any Schedule shall be subject to receipt by
Lessor, prior to the Lease commencement Date (with respect to such
Equipment), of each of the following documents in form and substance
satisfactory to Lessor: (i) a Schedule relating to the Equipment then to be
leased hereunder, (ii) paid in full invoice or other evidence of ownership of
the Equipment, (iii) evidence of insurance which complies with the
requirements of Section IX, and (iv) such other documents as Lessor may
reasonably request. As a further condition to such obligations of Lessor,
Lessee shall, upon delivery of such Equipment (but not later than the Last
Delivery Date specified in the applicable Schedule) execute and deliver to
Lessor a Certificate of Acceptance (in the form of Annex C to the applicable
Schedule) covering such Equipment. Lessor hereby appoints Lessee its agent
for inspection and acceptance of the Equipment from the Supplier. Upon
execution by Lessee of any Certificate of Acceptance, the Equipment described
thereon shall be deemed to have been delivered to, and irrevocably accepted
by, Lessee for lease hereunder.
II. TERM, RENT AND PAYMENT:
(a) The rent payable hereunder and Lessee's right to use the Equipment shall
commence on the date of execution by Lessee of the Certificate of Acceptance
for such Equipment ("Lease Commencement Date"). The term of this Agreement
shall be the period specified in the applicable Schedule. If any term is
extended, the word "term" shall be deemed to refer to all extended terms, and
all provisions of this Agreement shall apply during any extended terms,
except as may be otherwise specifically provided in writing. (b) Rent shall
be paid to Lessor at its address stated above, except as otherwise directed
by Lessor. Payments of rent shall be in the amount set forth in, and due in
accordance with the provisions of the applicable Schedule. If one or more
Advance Rentals are payable, such Advance Rental shall be (i) set forth on
the applicable Schedule, (ii) due upon acceptance by Lessor of such Schedule,
and (iii) when received by Lessor, applied to the first rent payment and the
balance, if any, to the final rental payment(s) under such Schedule. In no
event shall any Advance Rental or any other rent payments be refunded to
Lessee. If rent is not paid within ten days of its due
<PAGE>
date, Lessee agrees to pay a late charge of five cents ($0.05) per dollar on,
and in addition to, the amount of such rent but not exceeding the lawful
maximum, if any.
III. TAXES:
Lessee shall have no liability for taxes imposed by the United States of
America or any State or political subdivision thereof which are on or
measured by the net income of Lessor. Lessee shall report (to the extent that
it is legally permissible) and pay promptly all other taxes, fees and
assessments due, imposed, assessed or levied against any Equipment (or the
purchase, ownership, delivery, leasing, possession, use or operation
thereof), this Agreement (or any rentals or receipts hereunder), any
Schedule, Lessor or Lessee by any foreign, federal, state or local government
or taxing authority during or related to the term of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, all license and registration fees, and all
sales, use, personal property, excise, gross receipts, franchise, stamp or
other taxes, imports, duties and charges, together with any penalties, fines
or interest thereon (all hereinafter called "Taxes"). Lessee shall (i)
reimburse Lessor upon receipt of written request for reimbursement for any
Taxes charged to or assessed against Lessor accompanied by such information
as may reasonably enable Lessee to verify the amount of such Taxes,
(provided, however, that nothing herein shall require Lessor to produce any
tax bill relating to any personal property other than the Equipment or to any
leases or other agreement between Lessor and any third party), (ii) on
request of Lessor, submit to lessor written evidence of Lessee's payment of
Taxes, (iii) send a copy thereof to Lessor.
IV. REPORTS:
(a) Lessee will notify Lessor in writing, within ten days after Lessee
receives actual written notice that any tax lien or other lien arising by,
through or under any party other than Lessor to any equipment, of the full
particulars thereof and of the location of such equipment on the date of such
notification. (b) Lessee will within 120 days of the close of each fiscal
year of Lessee, deliver to Lessor, Lessee's balance sheet and profit and loss
statement, certified by a recognized firm of certified public accountants.
Upon request Lessee will deliver to Lessor quarterly, within 90 days of the
close of each fiscal quarter of Lessee, in reasonable detail, copies of
Lessee's quarterly financial report certified by an officer of Lessee. (c)
Lessee will permit Lessor to inspect any Equipment during normal business
hours upon at least twenty-four hours prior written notice; provided that
Lessor shall comply with Lessee's policies and procedures regarding clean
room safety, confidentiality and shall sign a waiver of liability. (d) Lessee
will keep the Equipment at the Equipment Location (specified in the
applicable Schedule) and will promptly notify Lessor of any relocation of
Equipment. Upon the written request of Lessor, Lessee will notify Lessor
forthwith in writing of the location of any Equipment as of the date of such
notification. (e) Lessee will promptly and fully report to lessor in writing
if any Equipment is lost or damaged (where the estimated repair costs would
exceed 20% of its then fair market value), or is otherwise involved in an
accident causing personal injury or property damage. (f) Within 60 days after
any request by Lessor, Lessee will furnish a certificate of an authorized
officer of Lessee stating that he has reviewed the activities of Lessee and
that, to the best of his knowledge, there exists no default (as described in
Section XI) or event which with notice or lapse of time (or both) would
become such a default.
V. DELIVERY, USE AND OPERATION:
(a) All Equipment shall be shipped directly from the Supplier to Lessee. (b)
Lessee agrees that the Equipment will be used by Lessee solely in the conduct
of its business and in a manner complying
<PAGE>
with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. (c)
LESSEE SHALL NOT ASSIGN, MORTGAGE, SUBLET OR HYPOTHECATE ANY EQUIPMENT, OR
THE INTEREST OF LESSEE HEREUNDER NOR SHALL LESSEE REMOVE ANY EQUIPMENT FROM
THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES, WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE
LESSOR. (d) Lessee will keep the Equipment free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances other than those which are granted in favor of or result from
acts of Lessor.
VI. SERVICE:
(a) Lessee will, at its sole expense, maintain each unit of Equipment in good
operating order, repair, condition and appearance in accordance with
manufacturer's recommendations, normal wear and tear excepted. Lessee shall,
if at any time reasonably requested by Lessor, affix in a prominent position
on each unit of Equipment plates, tags or other identifying labels showing
ownership thereof by Lessee and Lessor's security interest therein. (b)
Lessee will not, without the prior consent of Lessor, affix or install any
accessory, equipment or device on any Equipment if such addition will impair
the originally intended function or use of such Equipment. All additions,
repairs, parts, supplies, accessories, equipment, and devices furnished,
attached or affixed to any Equipment which are not readily removable shall be
made only in compliance with applicable law, and shall become subject to the
lien of Lessor. Lessee will not, without the prior written consent of Lessor
and subject to such conditions as Lessor may impose for its protection, affix
or install any Equipment to or in any other personal or real property. (c)
Any alterations or modifications to the Equipment that may, at any time
during the term of this Agreement, be required to comply with any applicable
law, rule or regulation shall be made at the expense of Lessee.
VII. STIPULATED LOSS VALUE:
Lessee shall promptly and fully notify Lessor in writing if any unit of
Equipment shall be or become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, irreparably
damaged in the reasonable determination of Lessee, or permanently rendered
unfit for use from any cause whatsoever (such occurrences being hereinafter
called "Casualty Occurrences"). On the rental payment date next succeeding a
Casualty Occurrence (the "Payment Date"), Lessee shall pay Lessor the sum of
(x) the Stipulated Loss Value of such unit calculated as of the rental
payment date next preceding such Casualty Occurrence ("Calculation Date");
and (y) all rental and other amounts which are due hereunder as of the
Payment Date. Upon payment of all sums due hereunder, the term of this lease
as to such unit shall terminate and (except in the case of the loss, theft or
complete destruction of such unit) Lessor shall be entitled to recover
possession of such unit.
VIII. LOSS OR DAMAGE:
Lessee hereby assumes and shall bear the entire risk of any loss, theft,
damage to, or destruction of, any unit of Equipment from any cause whatsoever
from the time the Equipment is shipped to Lessee.
IX. INSURANCE:
Lessee agrees, at its own expense, to keep all Equipment insured for such
amounts and against such hazards as Lessor may reasonably require, including,
but not limited to, insurance for damage to or loss of such Equipment and
liability coverage for personal injuries, death or property damage, with
Lessor named as additional insured and with a loss payable clause in favor of
Lessor, as its interest may appear, irrespective of any breach of warranty or
other act or omission of Lessee. The insurance shall provide (i) liability
coverage in an amount equal to at least ONE MILLION U.S. DOLLARS
<PAGE>
($1,000,000.00) total liability per occurrence, and (ii) casualty/property
damage coverage in an amount equal to the higher of the Stipulated Loss value
or the full replacement cost of the Equipment; or at such other amounts as
may reasonably be required by Lessor. All such policies shall be with
companies, and on terms, satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee agrees to deliver to
Lessor evidence of insurance satisfactory to Lessor. No insurance shall be
subject to any co-insurance clause. Lessee shall cause all insurers to issue
checks for payments covering casualty losses to the Equipment payable to the
order of Lessor only, and no other payee. If Lessee fails to do so, or if
notwithstanding Lessee's instructions the insurer issues any check payable
jointly to Lessee and Lessor, then Lessee shall upon Lessor's request
promptly endorse any and every such check as directed by Lessor. Lessee and
Lessor agree that the foregoing provision may be specifically enforced by a
court of competent jurisdiction. Any reasonable expense of Lessor in
adjusting or collecting insurance shall be borne by Lessee. Lessee will not
make adjustments with insurers except (i) with respect to claims for damage
to any unit of Equipment where the repair costs do not exceed 20% of such
unit's fair market value, or (ii) with Lessor's written consent. Said
policies shall provide that the insurance may not be altered or canceled by
the insurer until after thirty (30) days written notice to Lessor. Except in
the event of a Casualty Occurrence, Lessor shall, at Lessee's option, apply
proceeds of insurance, in whole or in part, to (i) repair or replace
Equipment or any portion thereof, or (ii) satisfy any obligation of Lessee to
Lessor hereunder.
X. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT:
(a) Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement or any Schedule,
Lessee shall promptly, at its own cost and expense: (i) perform any testing
and repairs required to place the affected units of Equipment in the same
condition and appearance as when received by Lessee (reasonable wear and tear
excepted) and in good working order for their originally intended purpose;
(ii) if deinstallation, disassembly or crating is required, cause such units
to be deinstalled, disassembled and crated by an authorized manufacturer's
representative or such other service person as is satisfactory to Lessor, and
(iii) return such units to a location within the continental United States as
Lessor shall direct. (b) Until Lessee has fully complied with the
requirements of Section X(a) above, Lessee's rent payment obligation and all
other obligations under this Agreement shall continue from month to month
notwithstanding any expiration or termination of the lease term. Lessor may
terminate such continued leasehold interest upon ten (10) days notice to
Lessee.
XI. DEFAULT:
(a) Lessor may in writing declare this Agreement in default if: Lessee
breaches its obligation to pay rent or any other sum when due and fails to
cure the breach within ten (10) days; Lessee breaches any of its insurance
obligations under Section IX; Lessee breaches any of its other obligations to
Lessor hereunder or under any instrument, document or agreement between
Lessor and Lessee and fails to cure that breach within thirty (30) days after
written notice thereof; any representation or warranty made by Lessee in
connection with this Agreement shall be false or misleading in any material
respect; Lessee becomes insolvent or ceases to do business as a going
concern; any Equipment is illegally used; or a petition is filed by or
against Lessee under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws. Such declaration
shall apply to all Schedules except as specifically excepted by Lessor. (b)
After default, at the request of Lessor, Lessee shall comply with the
provisions of Section X(a). Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor, after a default,
to enter, with or without legal process, any premises where any Equipment is
believed to be and take possession thereof so long as Lessor repairs any and
all damage caused by Lessor to the premises of Lessee in doing so. Lessee
shall, without further
<PAGE>
demand, forthwith pay to Lessor (i) as liquidated damages for loss of a
bargain and not as a penalty, the Stipulated Loss Value of the Equipment
(calculated as of the rental next preceding the declaration of default), and
(ii) all rentals and other sums then due hereunder. Lessor may, but shall not
be required to, sell Equipment at private or public sale, in bulk or in
parcels, with or without notice, and without having the Equipment present at
the place of sale; or Lessor may, but shall not be required to, lease,
otherwise dispose of or keep idle all or part of the Equipment. With Lessee's
prior written consent, Lessor may use Lessee's premises for any or all of the
foregoing at no charge to Lessor. If the Equipment is removed due to Lessee's
failure to give such consent, such removal will not be raised as a defense to
a deficiency claim asserted by Lessor. The proceeds of sale, lease or other
disposition, if any, shall be applied in the following order of priorities:
(1) to pay all of Lessor's costs, charges and expenses incurred in taking,
removing, holding, repairing and selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of
Equipment; then (2) to the extent not previously paid by Lessee, to pay
Lessor all sums due from Lessee hereunder, then (3) to reimburse to Lessee
any sums previously paid by Lessee as liquidated damages; and (4) any surplus
shall be retained by Lessor. Lessee shall pay any deficiency in (1) and (2)
forthwith. (c) The foregoing remedies are cumulative, and any or all thereof
may be exercised in lieu of or in addition to each other or any remedies at
law, in equity, or under statute. The parties agree that a notice of sale or
other disposition (and the time and place thereof) to which Lessor is
entitled will be deemed reasonable notice if such notice is received by
Lessee at least five (5) days prior to any such sale or other disposition.
The parties further agree that any advertising reasonably calculated to
notify qualified potential buyers of any such sale or other disposition will
be deemed reasonable. Lessee shall pay Lessor's actual attorney's fees
incurred in connection with the enforcement, assertion, defense or
preservation of Lessor's rights and remedies hereunder, or if prohibited by
law, such lesser sum as may be permitted. Waiver of any default shall not be
a waiver of any other subsequent default. (d) Any default under the terms of
this or any other agreement between Lessor and Lessee may be declared by
Lessor a default under this and any such other agreement.
XII. ASSIGNMENT:
Lessor may, without the consent of Lessee, assign this Agreement or any
Schedule. Lessee agrees that if Lessee receives written notice of an
assignment from Lessor, Lessee will pay all rent and other amounts payable
under any assigned Equipment Schedule to such assignee or as instructed by
Lessor. Lessee further agrees to confirm in writing receipt of a notice of
assignment as may be reasonable request by assignee. Lessee hereby waives and
agrees not to assert against any such assignee any defense, set-off,
recoupment claim or counterclaim which Lessee has or may at any time have
against Lessor for any reason whatsoever.
XIII. NET LEASE; NO SET-OFF, ETC:
This Agreement is a net lease. Lessee's obligation to pay rent and other
amounts due hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional. Lessee shall not
be entitled to any abatement or reductions of, or set-offs against, said rent
or other amounts, including, without limitation, those arising or allegedly
arising out of claims (present or future, alleged or actual, and including
claims arising out of strict tort or negligence of Lessor) of Lessee against
Lessor under this Agreement or otherwise. Nor shall this Agreement terminate
or the obligations of Lessee be affected by reason of any defect in or damage
to, or loss of possession, use or destruction of, any Equipment from
whatsoever cause. It is the intention of the parties that rents and other
amounts due hereunder shall continue to be payable in
<PAGE>
all events in the manner and at the times set forth herein unless the
obligation to do so shall have been terminated pursuant to the express terms
hereof.
XIV. INDEMNIFICATION:
(a) Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, save and keep harmless Lessor, its
agents, employees, successors and assigns from and against any and all
losses, damages, penalties, injuries, claims, actions and suits, including
legal expenses, of whatsoever kind and nature, in contract or tort, whether
caused by the active or passive negligence of Lessor or otherwise, and
including, but not limited to, Lessor's strict liability in tort, arising out
of (i) the selection, manufacture, purchase, acceptance or rejection of
Equipment, the ownership of Equipment during the term of this Agreement, and
the delivery, lease, possession, maintenance, uses, condition, return or
operation of Equipment (including, without limitation, latent and other
defects, whether or not discoverable by Lessor or Lessee and any claim for
patent, trademark or copyright infringement or environmental damage) or (ii)
the condition of Equipment sold or disposed of after use by Lessee, any
sublessee or employees of Lessee. Lessee shall, upon request, defend any
actions based on, or arising out of, any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lessee shall not be obligated to indemnify, defend, save and
keep harmless Lessor, its agents, employees, successors and assigns from and
against any and all losses, damages, penalties, injuries, claims, actions or
suits arising out of or resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Lessor, its agents, employee, successors and assigns. (b) All
of Lessor's rights, privileges and indemnities contained in this Section XIV
shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement and the
rights, privileges and indemnities contained herein are expressly made for
the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by Lessor, its successors and
assigns.
XV. DISCLAIMER:
LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS SELECTED THE EQUIPMENT WITHOUT ANY ASSISTANCE
FROM LESSOR, ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES. LESSOR DOES NOT MAKE, HAS NOT MADE, NOR
SHALL BE DEEMED TO MAKE OR HAVE MADE, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT LEASED
HEREUNDER OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY
WARRANTY AS TO DESIGN, COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, QUALITY OF MATERIALS
OR WORKMANSHIP, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE, USE OR OPERATION,
SAFETY, PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT, OR TITLE. All such
risks, as between Lessor and Lessee, are to be borne by Lessee. Without
limiting the foregoing, Lessor shall have no responsibility or liability to
Lessee or any other person with respect to any of the following, regardless
of any negligence of Lessor (i) any liability, loss or damage caused or
alleged to be caused directly or indirectly by any Equipment, any inadequacy
thereof, any deficiency or defect (latent or otherwise) therein, or any other
circumstance in connection therewith; (ii) the use, operation or performance
of any Equipment or any risks relating thereto; (iii) any interruption of
service, loss of business or anticipated profits or consequential damages; or
(iv) the delivery, operation, servicing, maintenance, repair, improvement or
replacement of any Equipment. If, and so long as, no default exists under
this Lease, Lessee shall be, and hereby is, authorized during the term of
this Lease to assert and enforce, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, from
time to time, in the name of and for the account of Lessor and/or Lessee, as
their interests may appear, whatever claims and rights Lessor may have
against any Supplier of the Equipment.
<PAGE>
XVI. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF LESSEE:
Lessee hereby represents and warrants to Lessor that on the date hereof and
on the date of execution of each Schedule: (a) Lessee has adequate power and
capacity to enter into, and perform under, this Agreement and all related
documents (together, the "Documents") and is duly qualified to do business
wherever necessary to carry on its present business and operations, including
the jurisdiction(s) where the Equipment is or is to be located. (b) The
Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Lessee and
constitute valid, legal and binding agreements, enforceable in accordance
with their terms, except to the extent that the enforcement of remedies
therein provided may be limited under applicable bankruptcy and insolvency
laws. (c) No approval, consent or withholding of objections is required from
any governmental authority or instrumentality with respect to the entry into
or performance by Lessee of the Documents except such as have already be
obtained. (d) The entry into and performance by Lessee of the Documents will
not: (i) violate any judgment, order, law or regulation applicable to Lessee
or any provision of Lessee's Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws; or (ii)
result in any breach of, constitute a default under or result in the creation
of any lien, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon any
Equipment pursuant to any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan or
credit agreement or other instrument (other than this Agreement) to which
Lessee is a party. (e) There are no suits or proceedings pending or
threatened in court or before any commission, board or other administrative
agency against or affecting Lessee, which will have a material adverse effect
on the ability of Lessee to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement other
than those disclosed in the Lessee's first fiscal quarter, March 29, 1997,
form 10-Q. (f) The Equipment accepted under any Certificate of Acceptance is
and will remain tangible personal property. (g) Each Balance Sheet and
Statement of Income delivered to Lessor has been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and since the date of the most
recent such Balance Sheet and Statement of Income, there has been no material
adverse change. (h) Lessee is and will be at all times validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of its incorporation (specified
in the first sentence of this Agreement). (i) The Equipment will at all times
be used for commercial or business purposes.
XVII. OWNERSHIP FOR TAX PURPOSES, GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST; USURY SAVINGS:
(a) For income tax purposes, the parties hereto agree that it is their mutual
intention that Lessee shall be considered the owner of the Equipment.
Accordingly, Lessor agrees (i) to treat Lessee as the owner of the Equipment
on its federal income tax return, (ii) not to take actions or positions
inconsistent with such treatment on or with respect to its federal income tax
return, and (iii) not to claim any tax benefits available to an owner of the
Equipment on or with respect to its federal income tax return. The foregoing
undertakings by Lessor shall not be violated by Lessor's taking a tax
position inconsistent with the forgoing sentence to the extent such a
position is required by law or is taken through inadvertence so long as such
inadvertent tax position is reversed by Lessor promptly upon its delivery.
Lessor shall in no event be liable to Lessee if Lessee fails to secure any of
the tax benefits available to the owner of the Equipment. (b) Lessee hereby
grants to Lessor a first security interest in the Equipment, together with
all additions, attachments, accessions, accessories and accessions thereto
whether or not furnished by the Supplier of the Equipment and any and all
substitutions, replacements or exchanges therefor, and any and all insurance
and/or other proceeds of any of the forgoing in and against which a security
interest is granted hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained elsewhere in this Agreement, to the extent that Lessor asserts a
purchase money security interest in any items of Equipment ("PMSI
Equipment"): (i) the PMSI
<PAGE>
Equipment shall secure only those sums which have been advanced by Lessor for
the purchase of the PMSI Equipment, or the acquisition of rights therein, or
the use thereof (the "PMSI Indebtedness"), and (ii) no other Equipment shall
secure the PMSI Indebtedness. (c) It is the intention of the parties hereto
to comply with any applicable usury laws to the extent that any Schedule is
determined to be subject to such laws; accordingly, it is agreed that,
notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any Schedule or the Lease,
in no event shall any Schedule require the payment or permit the collection
of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If
any such excess interest is contracted for, charged or received under any
Schedule or the Lease, or in the event that all of the principal balance
shall be prepaid, so that under any of such circumstances the amount of
interest contracted for, charged or received under any Schedule or the Lease
shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, then
in such event (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control,
(b) neither Lessee nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for
the payment hereof shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to
the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted
by applicable law, (c) any such excess which may have been collected shall be
either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal balance or
refunded to Lessee, at the option of the Lessor, and (d) the effective rate
of interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful contract
rate allowed under applicable law as now or hereafter construed by the courts
having jurisdiction thereof. It is further agreed that without limitation of
the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for,
charged or received under any Schedule or the Lease which are made for the
purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful contract
rate, shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by
amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the
period of the full stated term of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, all
interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Lessee or
otherwise by Lessor in connection with such indebtedness; provided, however,
that if any applicable state law is amended or the law of the United States
of America preempts any applicable state law, so that it becomes lawful for
Lessor to receive a greater interest per annum rate than is presently
allowed, the Lessee agrees that, on the effective date of such amendment or
preemption, as the case may be, the lawful maximum hereunder shall be
increased to the maximum interest per annum rate allowed by the amended
stated law or the law of the United States of America.
XVIII. EARLY TERMINATION:
(a) On or after the First Termination Date (specified in the applicable
Schedule), Lessee may, so long as no default exists hereunder, terminate this
Agreement as to all (but not less than all) of the Equipment on such Schedule
as of a Rent Payment Date ("Termination Date") upon at least 60 days prior
written notice to Lessor. (b) Lessee shall, and Lessor may, solicit cash bids
for the Equipment on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS without recourse to or warranty
from Lessor, express or implied ("AS IS BASIS"). Prior to the Termination
Date, Lessee shall (i) certify to Lessor any bids received by Lessee and (ii)
pay to Lessor (A) the Termination Value (calculated as of the rental due on
the Termination Date) for the Equipment, and (B) all rent and other sums due
and unpaid as of the Termination Date. (c) Provided that all amounts due
hereunder have been paid on the Termination Date, Lessor shall (i) sell the
Equipment on an AS IS BASIS for cash to the highest bidder and (ii) refund
the proceeds of such sale (net of any related expenses) to Lessee up to the
amount of the Termination Value. If such sale is not consummated, no
termination shall occur and Lessor shall refund the Termination Value (less
any expenses incurred by Lessor) to Lessee. (d) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lessor may elect by written notice, at any time prior to the
Termination Date, not to
<PAGE>
sell the Equipment. In that event, on the Termination Date Lessee shall (i)
return the Equipment (in accordance with Section X) and (ii) pay to Lessor
all amounts required under Section XVIII(b) less the amount of the highest
bid certified by Lessee to Lessor.
XIX. EARLY PURCHASE OPTION:
(a) Provided that the Lease has not been earlier terminated and provided
further than Lessee is not in default under the Lease or any other agreement
between Lessor and Lessee. Lessee may, UPON AT LEAST 30 DAYS BUT NO MORE THAN
270 DAYS PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE TO LESSOR OF LESSEE'S IRREVOCABLE ELECTION TO
EXERCISE SUCH OPTION, purchase all (but not less than all) of the Equipment
listed and described in this schedule on any Rent Payment Date following the
First Termination Date as set forth in this Schedule, and prior to the date
which is the scheduled expiration of this Lease, (the "Early Purchase Date")
for a price equal to (i) the Termination Value (calculated as of the Early
Purchase Date) for the Equipment, and (ii) all rent and other sums due and
unpaid as of the Purchase Date (the "Early Option Price"), plus all
applicable sales taxes on an AS IS BASIS. (The purchase option granted by
this subsection shall be referred to herein as the "Early Purchase Option").
(b) If Lessee exercises its Early Purchase Option with respect to the
Equipment leased hereunder, then on the Early Purchase Date, Lessee shall pay
to Lessor any rent and other sums due and unpaid on the Early Purchase Date
and Lessee shall pay the Early Option Price, plus all applicable sales taxes,
to Lessor in cash.
XX. PURCHASE OPTION:
(a) So long as no default exists hereunder and the lease has not been earlier
terminated, Lessee may at lease expiration purchase all (but not less than
all) of the Equipment in any Schedule on an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS for cash
equal to the amount indicated in such Schedule (the "Option Payment"). The
Option Payment shall be due and payable in immediately available funds on the
Expiration Date. (b) Lessee shall be deemed to have waived this option unless
it provides Lessor with written notice of its irrevocable election to
exercise the same not less than 90 days prior to the Expiration Date.
XXI. MISCELLANEOUS:
(a) LESSEE HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY
CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF, DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, THIS LEASE, ANY OF THE RELATED DOCUMENTS, ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN
LESSEE AND LESSOR RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY
RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED
BETWEEN LESSEE AND LESSOR. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all

hereunder. All Equipment shall at all times remain personal property of
Lessor regardless of the degree of its annexation to any real property and

personal property become a part thereof. (c) Time is of the essence of this

Agreement, Lessor shall have the right, but shall not be obligated to, effect
such compliance, in whole or in part; and all moneys spent and expenses and
obligations incurred or assumed by Lessor in effecting such compliance shall
constitute additional rent due to Lessor within twenty days after the date
Lessor sends notice to Lessee requesting payment. Lessor's effecting such
compliance shall not be a waiver of Lessee's default. (e) Any rent or other
amount not paid to Lessor when due hereunder shall bear interest, both before
and after any judgment or termination hereof, at the lesser of the interest
rate computed on a per annum basis at the Prime Rate (as published by the

than 11 percent, or the maximum rate allowed by law. Any provisions in this
Agreement and any Schedule which are in conflict with any statute, law or

(1) Definitions of Certain Terms. For purposes of this
Section XX:
(A) "EQUIPMENT" means all and not less than all of the
items of Equipment described on the Schedule;
<PAGE>
(B) "ESTIMATED RESIDUAL VALUE" means the relevant
percentage, as set out in Exhibit 1 to this Schedule, of
Lessor's Cost of the Equipment as set out on the Schedule;
(C) "REALIZED VALUE" means the net proceeds realized by
Lessor from sale of the Equipment after deduction of (x)
expenses of such sale, if any, and (y) all sums due and owing
under the Lease as of Schedule Expiration that remain unpaid as
of the Date of the sale;
(D) "SCHEDULE EXPIRATION" means the last day of the Basic
Term or one of the Renewal Terms of the Lease, as appropriate,
as to the Equipment.
(2) DETERMINATION OF REALIZED VALUE. The Realized Value for
each item of Equipment on the Schedule shall be determined as follows:
Lessee and Lessor shall arrange for the sale of such Equipment on an
as is basis, provided that Lessee may not bid, directly or indirectly.
Each item of Equipment shall be sold by Lessor to the highest bidder.
The Realized Value shall be determined based on the cash proceeds
received by Lessor from such sale, as provided in Section XX(e)(1)(C),
above. If any item of Equipment is not sold within 30 days after the
applicable Term Expiration, then Lessee and Lessor agree, in view of the
uncertainties of market conditions and the parties' inability to predict
what the actual sale price of such item would be, that the Realized Value
of such item shall be deemed to equal zero, for purposes of computing
Lessee's liability as provided in paragraph (3) immediately below. Upon
the sale of the item at any time after the expiration of such 30 day
period, Lessor will apply the Realized Value (i) to refund to Lessee,
without interest any amount which Lessee may have previously paid to
Lessor with respect to such item under paragraph (3) and (ii) to pay to
Lessee the amount by which the Realized Value exceeds the Estimated
Residual Value.
(3) LESSEE LIABILITY. If the Realized Value of the Equipment
is less than the Estimated Residual Value thereof, Lessor shall notify
Lessee of such fact in writing and Lessee shall, within 10 days after
receipt of such notice, pay to Lessor, as an adjustment to the rental
payable under the Lease, an amount equal to the difference between the
Realized Value and the Estimated Residual Value; provided, however,
Lessee's liability under this paragraph shall be limited to the
applicable Lessee's Maximum Liability as set forth in Exhibit 1.
(4) LESSOR LIABILITY. If the Realized
<PAGE>
Value of the Equipment exceeds the Estimated Residual Value thereof, and
provided that Lessee is not then in default under the Lease, Lessor shall
pay to Lessee, as an adjustment to the rent payable under the Lease, an
amount equal to 100% of such excess, but only to the extent Lessor
actually receives the Realized Value in available funds.
Solely with respect to Series "G" Equipment Schedules Lessee agrees
to the following:
Notwithstanding anything in the Lease Agreement to the contrary, which
ever end of lease option the Lessee chooses for the first Series "G"
equipment Schedules Lessee shall be deemed to have elected to exercise the
same option for all other Series "G" Equipment Schedules.
Except as expressly, modified hereby, all terms and provisions of the
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Schedule is not
binding or effective with respect to the Agreement or Equipment until
executed on behalf of Lessor and Lessee by authorized representatives of
Lessor and Lessee, respectively.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessee and Lessor have caused this Schedule to be
executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the date first above
written.

Renewal Term, or the Second Renewal Term, as the case may be, Lessee
elects to return the Equipment to Lessor, or (B) at the expiration of the
Third Renewal Term Lessee fails to exercise its purchase option, then the
following terms shall apply:
(1) Definitions of Certain Terms. For purposes of this
Section XX:
(A) "EQUIPMENT" means all and not less than all of the
items of Equipment described on the Schedule;
<PAGE>
(B) "ESTIMATED RESIDUAL VALUE" means the relevant
percentage, as set out in Exhibit 1 to this Schedule, of
Lessor's Cost of the Equipment as set out on the Schedule;
(C) "REALIZED VALUE" means the net proceeds realized by
Lessor from sale of the Equipment after deduction of (x)
expenses of such sale, if any, and (y) all sums due and owing
under the Lease as of Schedule Expiration that remain unpaid as
of the Date of the sale;
(D) "SCHEDULE EXPIRATION" means the last day of the Basic
Term or one of the Renewal Terms of the Lease, as appropriate,
as to the Equipment.
(2) DETERMINATION OF REALIZED VALUE. The Realized Value for
each item of Equipment on the Schedule shall be determined as follows:
Lessee and Lessor shall arrange for the sale of such Equipment
on an AS IS BASIS, provided that Lessee may not bid, directly or
indirectly. Each item of Equipment shall be sold by Lessor to the
highest bidder. The Realized Value shall be determined based on the cash
proceeds received by Lessor from such sale, as provided in Section
XX(e)(1)(C), above. If any item of Equipment is not sold within 30 days
after the applicable Term Expiration, then Lessee and Lessor agree, in
view of the uncertainties of market conditions and the parties' inability
to predict what the actual sale price of such item would be, that the
Realized Value of such item shall be deemed to equal zero, for purposes
of computing Lessee's liability as provided in paragraph (3) immediately
below. Upon the sale of the item at any time after the expiration of such
30 day period, Lessor will apply the Realized Value (i) to refund to
Lessee, without interest, any amount which Lessee may have previously
paid to Lessor with respect to such item under paragraph (3) and (ii) to
pay to Lessee the amount by which the Realized Value exceeds the
Estimated Residual Value.
(3) Lessee Liability. If the Realized Value of the Equipment
is less than the Estimated Residual Value thereof, Lessor shall notify
Lessee of such fact in writing and Lessee shall, within 10 days after
receipt of such notice, pay to Lessor, as an adjustment to the rental
payable under the Lease, an amount equal to the difference between the
Realized Value and the Estimated Residual Value; provided, however,
Lessee's liability under this paragraph shall be limited to the
applicable Lessee's Maximum Liability as set forth in Exhibit 1.
(4) Lessor Liability. If the Realized Value of the Equipment
exceeds the Estimated Residual Value thereof, and provided that Lessee is
not then in default under the Lease, Lessor shall pay to Lessee, as an
adjustment to the rent payable under the Lease, an amount equal to 100%
of such excess, but only to the extent Lessor actually receives the
Realized Value in available funds.
Solely with respect to Series "G" Equipment Schedules Lessee agrees to
the following:
Notwithstanding anything in the Lease Agreement to the contrary, which
ever end of lease option the Lessee chooses for the first Series "G"
Equipment Schedules Lessee shall be deemed to have elected to exercise the
same option for all other Series "G" Equipment Schedules.
Except as expressly modified hereby, all terms and provisions of the
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Schedule is not
binding or effective with respect to the Agreement or Equipment until
executed on behalf of Lessor and Lessee by authorized representatives of
Lessor and Lessee, respectively.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessee and Lessor have caused this Schedule to be
executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the date first above
written.

Term, or the Second Renewal
<PAGE>
Term, as the case may be, Lessee elects to return the Equipment to
Lessor, or (B) at the expiration of the Third Renewal Term Lessee fails
to exercise its purchase option, then the following terms shall apply:
(1) Definitions of Certain Terms. For purposes of this
Section XX:
(A) "EQUIPMENT" means all and not less than all of the
items of Equipment described on the Schedule;
<PAGE>
(B) "ESTIMATED RESIDUAL VALUE" means the relevant
percentage, as set out in Exhibit 1 to this Schedule, of Lessor's Cost
of the Equipment as set out on the Schedule;
(C) "REALIZED VALUE" means the net proceeds realized by
Lessor from sale of the Equipment after deduction of (x) expenses of such
sale, if any, and (y) all sums due and owing under the Lease as of
Schedule Expiration that remain unpaid as of the Date of the sale;
(D) "SCHEDULE EXPIRATION" means the last day of the Basic
Term or one of the Renewal Terms of the Lease, as appropriate, as to the
Equipment.
(2) Determination of Realized Value. The Realized Value for
each item of Equipment on the Schedule shall be determined as follows:
Lessee and Lessor shall arrange for the sale of such Equipment on an
as is basis, provided that Lessee may not bid, directly or indirectly.
Each item of Equipment shall be sold by Lessor to the highest bidder.
The Realized Value shall be determined based on the cash proceeds
received by Lessor from such sale, as provided in Section XX(e)(1)(C),
above. If any item of Equipment is not sold within 30 days after the
applicable Term Expiration, then Lessee and Lessor agree, in view of the
uncertainties of market conditions and the parties' inability to predict
what the actual sale price of such item would be, that the Realized Value
of such item shall be deemed to equal zero, for purposes of computing
Lessee's liability as provided in paragraph (3) immediately below. Upon
the sale of the item at any time after the expiration of such 30 day
period, Lessor will apply the Realized Value (i) to refund to Lessee,
without interest, any amount which Lessee may have previously paid to
Lessor with respect to such item under paragraph (3) and (ii) to pay to
Lessee the amount by which the Realized Value exceeds the Estimated
Residual Value.
(3) Lessee Liability. If the Realized Value of the Equipment
is less than the Estimated Residual Value thereof, Lessor shall notify
Lessee of such fact in writing and Lessee shall, within 10 days after
receipt of such notice, pay to Lessor, as an adjustment to the rental
payable under the Lease, an amount equal to the difference between the
Realized Value and the Estimated Residual Value; provided, however,
Lessee's liability under this paragraph shall be limited to the
applicable Lessee's Maximum Liability as set forth in Exhibit 1.
(4) Lessor Liability. If the Realized
<PAGE>
Value of the Equipment exceeds the Estimated Residual Value thereof, and
provided that Lessee is not then in default under the Lease, Lessor shall
pay to Lessee, as an adjustment to the rent payable under the Lease, an
amount equal to 100% of such excess, but only to the extent Lessor
actually receives the Realized Value in available funds.
Solely with respect to Series "G" Equipment Schedules Lessee agrees to
the following:
Notwithstanding anything in the Lease Agreement to the contrary, which
ever end of lease option the Lessee chooses for the first Series "G"
Equipment Schedules Lessee shall be deemed to have elected to exercise the
same option for ALL other Series "G" Equipment Schedules.
Except as expressly modified hereby, all terms and provisions of the
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Schedule is not
binding or effective with respect to the Agreement or Equipment until
executed on behalf of Lessor and Lessee by authorized representatives of
Lessor and Lessee, respectively.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessee and Lessor have caused this Schedule to be
executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the date first above
written.
