Lessee leased from Lessor those certain premises (the "Premises"), commonly
known as 2381 Rosecrans Avenue, Suites 330 and 400, El Segundo, California.  Any
capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meaning
ascribed to them in the Lease;

WHERAS Lessee and Kyocera Technology Development, Inc., a California corporation
(“Kyocera”), entered into that certain Standard Sublease dated April 30, 2008
(the “Sublease”); and

WHEREAS the parties hereto wish to provide for the termination of the Lease and
the assignment and assumption of the Sublease subject to certain conditions and
certain other matters, all as more particularly set forth below,

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

A.
Termination of Lease-Conditions.

1. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that the Lease shall be terminated on January
31, 2009 (the “Effective Date”).  Lessee shall be permitted to occupy, free of
charge, through February 28, 2009, the space that Lessee is presently occupying
on the fourth (4th) floor of the Building and on the third (3rd) floor of the
Building; however, until such time that Lessee shall completely vacate the
Premises, Lessee shall continue to comply with all of the terms and conditions
of the Insurance and Indemnification provisions set forth in Article 14 of the
Lease.  Upon vacating the Premises, Lessee shall be permitted to leave the
Premises in its “AS-IS” condition, and Lessee shall not be required to comply
with any restoration obligation under the Lease, except, however, that Lessee
shall be required to remove all of its furniture, furnishings and equipment from
the Premises, and that Lessee shall surrender the Premises, in good working
order and condition, free from damage, commercially ordinary wear and tear
excepted.

2. Each of Lessor and Lessee acknowledges that the other party will continue,
through the date Lessee shall vacate its Premises as indicated in Section 1
above, to fully perform all obligations to be performed by such party under the
Lease (except, however, that Lessee shall be permitted to occupy the Premises
free of charge after January 31, 2009, pursuant to Section 1 above, and that
Lessor shall not be required to provide any janitorial services to Lessee after
January 31, 2009).

3. Concurrently with the return of this executed document by Lessee to Lessor,
Lessee shall pay Lessor a cancellation fee of Two Million Three Hundred
Ninety-Nine Thousand Dollars ($2,399,999.00).  Lessee shall also forfeit its
security deposit of $110,000.00.  The aforementioned fee takes into
consideration (1) all outstanding rent, parking and other charges due to Lessor
under the Lease through the Effective Date, (2) the credit to Lessee of
$69,300.00, which represents the difference between the security deposit of
$110,000.00 paid by Lessee under the Lease and the security deposit of
$40,700.00 paid to Lessee by its sublessee, Kyocera Technology Development, and
(3) a credit to Lessee of $329,587.00 for the unused Construction Allowance.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Lessee shall not be obligated to pay Lessor any outstanding charges for
Operating Expenses, to the extent that Lessee’s estimated payments towards said
Operating Expenses were less than the actual obligation owed, and Lessor shall
not be obligated to reimburse Lessee for any overpayment towards Operating
Expenses, to the extent that Lessee’s estimated payments towards said Operating
Expenses were more than the actual obligation owed.

5. Lessee shall not be required to reimburse Lessor for any unpaid electricity
charges incurred through January 31, 2009, and Lessee shall not be required to
reimburse Lessor for any Operating Expenses or electricity charges incurred by
Lessee from February 1, 2009 through February 28, 2009.
