                   AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION

                                STANDARD SUBLEASE

                 (Long form to be used with pre-1996 AIR leases)

      1. PARTIES. This Sublease, dated, for reference purposes only, October 7,
2002, is made by and between Inter-Tel Technologies, Inc. ("SUBLESSOR') and
Vixel Corporation ("SUBLESSEE").

      2. PREMISES. Sublessor hereby subleases to Sublessee and Sublessee hereby
subleases from Sublessor for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the
conditions set forth herein, that certain real property, including all
improvements therein, and commonly known by the street address of 10 Faraday,
Suite 200 located in the County of Orange, State of California, and generally
described as (describe briefly the nature of the property) the whole second
floor of the 2-story, R&D building at 10 Faraday, Irvine, 92618 (`Premises").

      3. TERM.

         3.1 TERM. The term of this Sublease shall be for two (2) years, seven
(7) months commencing on December 1, 2002 and ending on June 30, 2005 unless
sooner terminated pursuant to any provision hereof.

         3.2 DELAY IN COMMENCEMENT. Sublessor agrees to use its best
commercially reasonable efforts to deliver possession of the Premises by the
commencement date. If, despite said efforts, Sublessor is unable to deliver
possession as agreed, Sublessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor,
nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Sublease. Sublessee shall
not, however, be obligated to pay Rent or perform its other obligations until it
receives possession of the Premises. If possession is not delivered within sixty
days after the commencement date, Sublessee may, at its option, by notice in
writing within ten days after the end of such sixty day period, cancel this
Sublease, in which event the Parties shall be discharged from all obligations
hereunder, If such written notice is not received by Sublessor within said ten
day period, Sublessee's right to cancel shall terminate. Except as otherwise
provided, if possession is not tendered to Sublessee when required and Sublessee
does not terminate this Sublease, as aforesaid, any period of rent abatement
that Sublessee would otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the date of delivery
of possession and continue for a period equal to what Sublessee would otherwise
have enjoyed under the terms hereof, but minus any days of delay caused by the
acts or omissions of Sublessee. If possession is not delivered within 120 days
after the commencement date, this Sublease shall automatically terminate unless
the Parties agree, in writing, to the contrary.

      4. RENT.

         4.1 BASE RENT. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor as Base Rent for the
Premises equal monthly payments of $8,333.33 in advance, on the 1st day of each
month of the term hereof. Sublessee shall pay Sublessor upon the execution
hereof $8,333.33 as Base Rent for December 1, 2002 (See also addendum section
14). Base Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one
month shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment.

         4.2 RENT DEFINED. All monetary obligations of Sublessee to Sublessor
under the terms of this Sublease (except for the Security Deposit) are deemed to
be rent ("RENT"). Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the United States to
Sublessor at the address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other
places as Sublessor may designate in writing.

      5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Sublessee shall deposit with Sublessor upon execution
hereof $25,000.00 as security for Sublessee's faithful performance of
Sublessee's obligations hereunder. If Sublessee fails to pay Rent or other
charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of
this Sublease, Sublessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said
deposit for the payment of any Rent or other charge in default or for the
payment of any other sum to which Sublessor may become obligated by reason of
Sublessee's default, or to compensate Sublessor for any loss or damage which
Sublessor may suffer thereby. If Sublessor so uses or applies all or any portion
of said deposit, Sublessee shall within ten days after written demand therefore
forward to Sublessor an amount sufficient to restore said Deposit to the full
amount provided for herein and Sublessee's failure to do so shall be a material
breach of this Sublease. Sublessor shall not be required to keep said Deposit
separate from its general accounts. If Sublessee performs all of Sublessee's
obligations hereunder, said Deposit, or so much thereof as has not therefore
been applied by Sublessor, shall be returned, without payment of Interest to
Sublessee (or at Sublessor's option, to the last assignee, if any, of
Sublessee's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof, and after
Sublessee has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created herein
between Sublessor and Sublessee with respect to said Security Deposit.

      6. USE.

         6.1 AGREED USE. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for
general office use and for no other purpose.

         6.2 COMPLIANCE. Sublessor warrants that the improvements on the
Premises comply with all applicable covenants or restrictions of record and
applicable building codes, regulations and ordinances ("APPLICABLE
REQUIREMENTS") in effect on the commencement date. Said warranty does not apply
to the use to which Sublessee will put the Premises or to any alterations or
utility installations made or to be made by Sublessee. NOTE: Sublessee is
responsible for determining whether or not the zoning is appropriate for its
intended use, and acknowledges that past uses of the Premises may no longer be
allowed. If the Premises do not comply with said warranty, Sublessor shall,
except as otherwise provided, promptly after receipt of written notice from
Sublessee setting forth with specificity the nature and extent of such
non-compliance, rectify the same at Sublessor's expense. If Sublessee does not
give Sublessor written notice of a non-compliance with this warranty within six
months following the commencement date, correction of that non-compliance shall
be the obligation of Sublessee at its sole cost and expense. If the Applicable
Requirements are hereafter changed so as to require during the term of this
Sublease the construction of an addition to or an alteration of the Building,
the remediation of any Hazardous Substance, or the reinforcement or other
physical modification of the Building ("CAPITAL EXPENDITURE"), Sublessor and
Sublessee shall allocate the cost of such work as follows:

         (a) If such Capital Expenditures are required as a result of the
specific and unique use of the Premises by Sublessee as compared with uses by
tenants in general, Sublessee shall be fully responsible for the cost thereof
provided, however, that if such Capital Expenditure is required during the last
two years of this Sublease and the cost thereof exceeds six months' Base Rent,
Sublessee may instead terminate this Sublease unless Sublessor notifies
Sublessee in writing, within ten days after receipt of Sublessees's termination
notice that Sublessor has elected to pay the difference between the actual cost
thereof and the amount equal to six months' Base Rent. If the Parties elect
termination, Sublessee shall immediately cease the use of the Premises which
requires such Capital Expenditure and deliver to Sublessor written notice
specifying a termination date at least ninety days thereafter. Such termination
date shall, however, in no event be earlier then the last day that Sublessee
could legally utilize the Premises without commencing such Capital Expenditure.

                                  Page 1 of 4
<PAGE>
         (b) If such Capital Expenditure is not the result of the specific and
unique use of the Premises by Sublessee (such as governmentally mandated seismic
modifications, then Sublessor shall pay for said Capital Expenditure and the
cost thereof shall be prorated between the Sublessor and Sublessee and Sublessee
shall only be obligated to pay, each month during the remainder of the term of
this Sublease, on the date on which Rent is due, an amount equal to the product
of multiplying the cost of such Capital Expenditure by a fraction, the numerator
of which is one, and the denominator of which is the number of months of the
useful life of such Capital Expenditure as such useful life is specified
pursuant to Federal income tax regulations or guidelines for depreciation
thereof (including interest on the unamortized balance as is then commercially
reasonable in the judgment of Sublessor's accountant), with Sublessee reserving
the right to prepay its obligation at any time. Provided, however, that if such
Capital Expenditure is required during the last two years of this Sublease or if
Sublessor reasonably determines that it is not economically feasible to pay its
share thereof, Sublessor shall have the option to terminate this Sublease upon
ninety days prior written notice to Sublessee unless Sublessee notifies
Sublessor, in writing, within ten days alter receipt of Sublessor's termination
notice that Sublessee will pay for such Capital Expenditure. If Sublessor does
not elect to terminate, and fails to tender its share of any such Capital
Expenditure, Sublessee may advance such funds and deduct same, with interest,
from Rent until Sublessor's share of such costs have been fully paid. If
Sublessee is unable to finance Sublessor's share, or if the balance of the Rent
due and payable for the remainder of this Sublease is not sufficient to fully
reimburse Sublessee on an offset basis, Sublessee shall have the right to
terminate this Sublease upon ten days written notice to Sublessor.

         (c) Notwithstanding the above, the provisions concerning Capital
Expenditures are intended to apply only to non-voluntary, unexpected, and new
Applicable Requirements. If the Capital Expenditures are instead triggered by
Sublessee as a result of an actual or proposed change in use, change In
intensity of use, or modification to the Premises then, and in that event,
Sublessee shall be fully responsible for the cost thereof, and Sublessee shall
not have any right to terminate this Sublease.

         6.3 ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES AND LESSEE. Sublessee acknowledges that:

         (a) it has been advised by Brokers to satisfy itself with respect to
the condition of the Premises (including but not limited to the electrical, HVAC
and fire sprinkler systems, security, environmental aspects, and compliance with
Applicable Requirements), and their suitability for Sublessee's intended use,

         (b) Sublessee has made such investigation as it deems necessary with
reference to such matters and assumes all responsibility therefor as the same
relate to its occupancy of the Premises, and

         (c) neither Sublessor, Sublessor's agents, nor any Broker has made any
oral or written representations or warranties with respect to said matters other
than as set forth in this Sublease.

In addition, Sublessor acknowledges that:

         (a) Broker has made no representations, promises or warranties
concerning Sublessee's ability to honor the Sublease or suitability to occupy
the Premises, and

         (b) it is Sublessor's sole responsibility to investigate the financial
capability and/or suitability of all proposed tenants.

      7. MASTER LEASE

         7.1 Sublessor is the lessee of the Premises by virtue of a lease,
hereinafter the "MASTER LEASE", a copy of which is attached hereto marked
Exhibit 1, wherein 10 Faraday Partners, a California general partnership is the
lessor, hereinafter the "MASTER LESSOR"

         7.2 This Sublease is and shall be at all times subject and subordinate
to the Master Lease.

         7.3 The terms, conditions and respective obligations of Sublessor and
Sublessee to each other under this Sublease shall be the terms and conditions of
the Master Lease except for those provisions of the Master Lease which are
directly contradicted by this Sublease in which event the terms of this Sublease
document shall control over the Master Lease. Therefore, for the purposes of
this Sublease, wherever in the Master Lease the word "Lessor" is used it shall
be deemed to mean the Sublessor herein and wherever in the Master Lease the word
"Lessee" is used it shall be deemed to mean the Sublessee herein.

         7.4 During the term of this Sublease and for all periods subsequent for
obligations which have arisen prior to the termination of this Sublease,
Sublessee does hereby expressly assume and agree to perform and comply with, for
the benefit of Sublessor and Master Lessor, each and every obligation of
Sublessor under the Master Lease except for the following paragraphs which are
excluded therefrom: Sections 7.1(b), 7.1(c), 10.2, and 11.

         7.5 The obligations that Sublessee has assumed under paragraph 7.4
hereof are hereinafter referred to as the "SUBLESSEE'S ASSUMED OBLIGATIONS". The
obligations that Sublessee has not assumed under paragraph 7.4 hereof are
hereinafter referred to as the "SUBLESSOR'S REMAINING OBLIGATIONS".

         7.6 Sublessee shall hold Sublessor free and harmless from all
liability, judgments, costs, damages, claims or demands, including reasonable
attorneys fees, arising out of Sublessee's failure to comply with or perform
Sublessee's Assumed Obligations.

         7.7 Sublessor agrees to maintain the Master Lease during the entire
term of this Sublease, subject, however, to any earlier termination of the
Master Lease without the fault of the Sublessor, and to comply with or perform
Sublessor's Remaining Obligations and to hold Sublessee free and harmless from
all liability, judgments, costs, damages, claims or demands arising out of
Sublessor's failure to comply with or perform Sublessor's Remaining Obligations.


         7.8 Sublessor represents to Sublessee that the Master Lease is in full
force and effect and that no default exists on the part of any Party to the
Master Lease.

     8.  ASSIGNMENT OF SUBLEASE AND DEFAULT.
         8.1 Sublessor hereby assigns and transfers to Master Lessor the
Sublessor's interest in this Sublease, subject however to the provisions of
Paragraph 8.2 hereof.

         8.2 Master Lessor, by executing this document, agrees that until a
Default shall occur in the performance of Sublessor's Obligations under the
Master Lease, that Sublessor may receive, collect and enjoy the Rent accruing
under this Sublease. However, it Sublessor shall Default in the performance of
its obligations to Master Lessor then Master Lessor may, at its option, receive
and collect, directly from Sublessee, all Rent owing and to be owed under this
Sublease. Master Lessor shall not, by reason of this assignment of the Sublease
nor by reason of the collection of the Rent from the Sublessee, be deemed liable
to Sublessee for any failure of the Sublessor to perform and comply with
Sublessor's Remaining Obligations.

         8.3 Sublessor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Sublessee upon
receipt of any written notice from the Master Lessor stating that a Default
exists in the performance of Sublessor's obligations under the Master Lease, to
pay to Master Lessor the Real due and to become due under the Sublease.
Sublessor agrees that Sublessee shall have the right to rely upon any such
statement and request from Master Lessor, and that Sublessee shall pay such Rent
to Master Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such

                                  Page 2 of 4
<PAGE>
Default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Sublessor to
the contrary and Sublessor shall have no right or claim against Sublessee for
any such Rent so paid by Sublessee.

         8.4 No changes or modifications shall be made to this Sublease without
the consent of Master Lessor.

      9. CONSENT OF MASTER LESSOR.

      9.1 In the event that the Master Lease requires that Sublessor obtain the
consent of Master Lessor to any subletting by Sublessor then, this Sublease
shall not be effective unless, within ten days of the date hereof, Master Lessor
signs this Sublease thereby giving its consent to this Subletting.

         9.2 In the event that the obligations of the Sublessor under the Master
Lease have been guaranteed by third parties then neither this Sublease, nor the
Master Lessor's consent, shall be effective unless, within 10 day of the date
hereof, said guarantors sign this Sublease thereby giving their consent to this
Sublease.

         9.3 In the event that Master Lessor does give such consent then:

            (a) Such consent shall not release Sublessor of its obligations or
alter the primary liability of Sublessor to pay the Rent and perform and comply
with all of the obligations of Sublessor to be performed under the Master Lease.


            (b) The acceptance of Rent by Master Lessor from Sublessee or anyone
else liable under the Master Lease shall not be deemed a waiver by Master Lessor
of any provisions of the Master Lease.

            (c) The consent to this Sublease shall not constitute a consent to
any subsequent subletting or assignment.

            (d) In the event of any Default of Sublessor under the Master Lease,
Master Lessor may proceed directly against Sublessor, any guarantors or anyone
else liable under the Master Lease or this Sublease without first exhausting
Master Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity liable thereon to
Master Lessor.

            (e) Master Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and
assignments of the Master Lease or this Sublease or any amendments or
modifications thereto without notifying Sublessor or anyone else liable under
the Master Lease and without obtaining their consent and such action shall not
relieve such persons from liability.

            (f) In the event that Sublessor shall Default in its obligations
under the Master Lease, then Master Lessor, at its option and without being
obligated to do so, may require Sublessee to attorn to Master Lessor in which
event Master Lessor shall undertake the obligations of Sublessor under this
Sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to termination of this
Sublease but Master Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid Rent nor any
Security Deposit paid by Sublessee, nor shall Master Lessor be liable for any
other Defaults of the Sublessor under the Sublease.

         9.4 The signatures of the Master Lessor and any Guarantors of Sublessor
at the end of this document shall constitute their consent to the terms of this
Sublease.

         9.5 Master Lessor acknowledges that, to the best of Master Lessor's
knowledge, no Default presently exists under the Master Lease of obligations to
be performed by Sublessor and that the Master Lease is in full force and effect.

         9.6 In the event that Sublessor Defaults under its obligations to be
performed under the Master Lease by Sublessor, Master Lessor agrees to deliver
to Sublessee a copy of any such notice of default. Sublessee shall have the
right to cure any Default of Sublessor described in any notice of default within
ten days after service of such notice of default on Sublessee. If such Default
is cured by Sublessee then Sublessee shall have the right of reimbursement and
offset from and against Sublessor.

                                     Page 1

13.   "AS-IS" CONDITION. Sublessee shall take the Premises in an "as-is",
      present condition, except for Sublessor's cleaning of the ceiling tiles
      and air filters visual to the eye on a onetime basis, by no later than the
      lease commencement date. Any and all tenant improvements to the Premises
      are to be performed solely by the Sublessee, subject to the prior written
      consent by the Sublessor and Master Lessor. Sublessee shall take full
      responsibility for determining the suitability of the Premises, including
      but not limited to its compliance with any and all applicable building
      codes including the American with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). If the
      Premises must be altered in order to comply with ADA at any time during
      the term of the sublease, either Sublessor or Sublessee has the option to
      terminate the sublease rather than make the changes if the changes include
      the installation of an elevator or other major structural modifications.

14.   BASE RENT. Base rent as referenced in section 4.1 of the Sublease shall be
      full service gross, flat for the term, except that Sublessee shall
      separately meter and be responsible for any and all electricity costs in
      connection with the air conditioning unit used to cool the server room to
      be installed by the Sublessee, and the Sublessee shall be responsible for
      paying its prorata share of operating expense increases over the 2003 base
      year.

15.   OPERATING EXPENSE INCREASE. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor during the
      term hereof, in addition to the Base Rent, Sublessee's Share of the amount
      by which all Operating Expenses for each Comparison Year exceeds the
      amount of all Operating Expenses for the Base Year, such excess being
      hereinafter referred to as the "Operating Expense increase", in accordance
      with the following provisions.

     (a) "BASE YEAR" is 2003.
