                                PROMISSORY NOTE

$4,956,332                                                        April 28, 2000

     For value received, the undersigned Artest Corporation, a California
corporation ("Borrower"), irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay to the
              --------
order of Micro Linear Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Lender"), at such

place as the holder hereof may designate, in lawful money of the United States
of America and in immediately available funds, the principal amount of Four
Million Nine Hundred Fifty-Six Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Two U.S. dollars
($4,956,332) (the "Loan").
                   ----

     This note ("Note") is issued pursuant to an Agreement for Purchase and Sale
                 ----
of Assets by and between Borrower and Lender dated as of April 28, 2000 (the
"Purchase Agreement").
 ------------------

     Borrower shall pay interest on the aggregate unpaid principal advanced
hereunder at the per annum rate of six percent (6%), which shall accrue on the
basis of actual days elapsed and a year of 360 days ("Interest"). Interest
                                                      --------
hereunder shall be due and payable on the 15th calendar day of each month until
all principal advanced hereunder shall have been paid in full by Borrower.

     The principal amount of the Loan shall be due and payable in equal monthly
installments of $165,211.07 beginning on November 15, 2000. All of the
principal amount of the Loan and all other indebtedness of Borrower accrued
under this Note shall be due and payable in full on April 15, 2003. The
principal amount of the Loan is prepayable by Borrower at any time without
penalty.

     Borrower promises to pay Lender all costs and expenses of collection of
this Note and to pay all reasonable attorney's fees incurred in such collection,
or in any judicial or other legal proceeding to collect this Note or in appeal
thereof (collectively, "Expenses"), within ten (10) days after its receipt of
                        --------
Lender's invoice therefor.

     If Borrower fails to fully pay when due any principal amount of the Loan,
accrued unpaid Interest or Expenses when due pursuant to this Note, Borrower
shall, in addition to the interest determined in accordance with the foregoing
paragraph, pay default interest at the per annum rate of twelve and one-half
percent (12.5%) or such lesser rate as would equal the maximum rate under
applicable usury law, which shall accrue on the basis of actual days elapsed and
a year of 360 days ("Default Interest"), on all such over-due and unpaid
                     ----------------
principal, Interest and Expenses for a period from the date on which such
failure occurred through the date on which such failure is cured, both
inclusive.

     Borrower understands and irrevocably agrees that time is of the essence as
to all obligations of Borrower hereunder and that no delay by Lender in
exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any power
or right.

     Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and
all payments at any time hereafter received by Lender from or on behalf of
Borrower, and Borrower irrevocably agrees that Lender shall have the continuing
exclusive right to apply any and all such payments

                                    Page 1

advisable. In the absence of a specific determination by Lender with respect
thereto and except as otherwise provided herein, all payments shall be applied
in the following order: (a) then due and payable fees and expenses, (b) then due
and payable Default Interest payments, (c) then due and payable Interest
payments, and (d) then due and payable principal payments.

     This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of the State of California.

Artest has the right to the maximum amount of MLIN revenue, at whatever business
level MLIN can achieve during the subsequent 2 years).

In the event that Artest is unable for any reason (other than force majeur) to
provide testing services to Micro Linear at the Leased Premises or other
locations as contemplated hereby (within the cost guidelines agreed to and
represented in Exhibit E), then Micro Linear shall be granted such access to the
               ---------
Test Equipment at mutually agreeable rates not in excess of prevailing market
rates to enable Micro Linear to have such testing services performed in a timely
manner.

Access to Teradyne, Sentry, LTX and TMT Equipment. Artest will agree to provide
access to its testing operations at the Leased Premises for MLIN product and
test engineers for test development and yield enhancement during the daytime
shift. Artest acknowledges that MLIN requires up to the hrs/month of the test
systems listed in this table:

                          Test System     Hrs/month
                          -----------     ---------
                              [*]            [*]

Artest agrees to give MLIN the right to use these machines and the required
support hardware software up to these limits during the daytime shift in any
given month. MLIN will notify Artest when it doesn't need the time and will
release any unused machine time to Artest for its use. Conversely, Artest will
notify MLIN if it doesn't need the machine time beyond the minimum time listed
above and release to MLIN the right to use the machines beyond the agreed to
hours.

For the use of the machines as listed above and required handler/prober support
machines, MLIN will agree to pay Artest user fees of [*] per year payable in
equal monthly installments, beginning on the date of the execution of this
agreement. The user fee shall be payable on or before the third day of each
month.

Artest and MLIN will agree to cooperate to transfer to Artest any MLIN "right to
use" license on the above systems at the most reasonable allowed cost. Artest
and MLIN will identify the cost for such a transfer, if applicable, prior to the
signing of the Definitive Agreement and subject to Artest approval of such
terms. Artest and MLIN shall use their reasonable best efforts to minimize the
cost of this transfer but any costs associated with the transfer of the license
shall be born by Artest alone and MLIN shall have no obligation to assure the
transfer.

TMT RFX Test System. Artest will agree to provide additional capacity for TMT
RFX system for production testing for certain products MLIN has developed and
plans on developing, in the future. Artest will purchase sufficient TMT RFX test
systems and related interface hardware, satisfactory to MLIN, to be located at
the Leased Premises or another local site or Artest will make arrangements with
other external test subcontractors to acquire TMT RFX test systems and ensure
sufficient access as to meet the needs for MLIN production test. MLIN will
negotiate with TMT to allow Artest access to MLIN's favorable price and
scheduling if beneficial. MLIN will commit to [*]/hours of production testing
per month per tester for a minimum of 1 year.

If MLIN has a need for access to the additional TMT RFX test systems for product
and test engineers for test development and yield enhancement beyond the amount
identified above, then Artest will provide capacity for engineering during the
daytime shift. MLIN will identify the hours per month required for this
additional machine time and Artest agrees to give MLIN the

  this exhibit. Such portions are marked with a "[*]" in place of the redacted
  language. Omitted portions are filed separately with the Securities and
  Exchange Commission.

right to use the TMT RFX additional machines up to these limits during the
daytime shift in any given month. MLIN will agreed to notify Artest when it
doesn't need the minimum guaranteed time and will release any unused machine
time to Artest for its use. Conversely, Artest will notify MLIN if it doesn't
need the TMT RFX machines beyond the minimum time listed above and release to
MLIN the right to use the machines beyond the agreed to hours.

For the use of the additional TMT RFX test systems as listed above, MLIN agrees
to pay Artest user fee's of [*] per week per tester for 8hrs/day daytime
access to the system, if and as required for 1 year.

Relocation of TEST. Upon the expiration of the term of the sublease, Artest may
choose to relocate TEST at its own cost to a new facility that allows full
access by MLIN product and test engineering personnel. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Artest should consider such a move, Artest shall ensure the
continuous operation of TEST during the relocation with uninterrupted access by
MLIN employees. The new TEST Facilities shall be of the same quality and close
proximity to MLIN's product and test engineering personnel as are the current
TEST Facilities. Artest and MLIN shall use their best efforts to jointly seek
new space to allow for a coordinated move to the new facilities. All facility
items purchased by Artest will remain the property of Artest after the
expiration of the current lease and not part of Facility left behind for
landlord.

Assembly Support/Off-shore Test Capability. MLIN will transfer the
responsibility for assembly and off-shore test to Artest. In this capacity,
Artest will endeavor to establish relationships with key assembly subcontractors
for the purpose of securing both capacity and favorable pricing for MLIN
products. MLIN estimates that the assembly business opportunity for fiscal year
2000 will be approximately [*]. Artest may consider establishing off-shore sort
and/or test capability with selected subcontractors on certain products agreed
to by MLIN. MLIN will pay to Artest a management fee of [*] of the assembly
revenue for this transfer of responsibility.

                                                               Initials:_______
                                                                        _______

     3.2   Early Possession. If an Early Possession Date is specified in
Paragraph 1.4 and if Lessee totally or partially occupies the Premises after the
Early Possession Date but prior to the Commencement Date, the obligation to pay
Base Rent shall be abated for the period of such early occupancy. All other
terms of this Lease, however, (including but not limited to the obligations to
pay Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses and to carry the insurance
required by Paragraph 8) shall be in effect during such period. Any such early
possession shall not affect nor advance the Expiration Date of the Original
Term.

     3.3   Delay In Possession. If for any reason Lessor cannot deliver
possession of the Premises to Lessee by the Early Possession Date, if one is
specified in Paragraph 1.4, or if no Early Possession Date is specified, by the
Commencement Date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor
shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease, or the obligations of
Lessee hereunder, or extend the term hereof, but in such case, Lessee shall not,
except as otherwise provided herein, be obligated to pay rent or perform any
other obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease until Lessor delivers
possession of the Premises to Lessee. If possession of the Premises is not
delivered to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date, Lessee
may, at its option, by notice in writing to Lessor within ten (10) days after
the end of said sixty (60) day period, cancel this Lease, in which event the
parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder; provided further,
however, that if such written notice of Lessee is not received by Lessor within
said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel this Lease hereunder shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect. Except as may be otherwise
provided, and regardless of when the Original Term actually commences, if
possession is not tendered to Lessee when required by this Lease and Lessee does
not terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, the period free of the obligation to pay
Base Rent, if any, that Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the
date of delivery of possession and continue for a period equal to the period
during which the Lessee would have otherwise enjoyed under the terms hereof, but
minus any days of delay caused by the acts, changes or omissions of Lessee.

4.   Rent.

     4.1   Base Rent. Lessee shall pay Base Rent and other rent or charges, as
the same may be adjusted from time to time, to Lessor in lawful money of the
United States, without offset or deduction, on or before the day on which it is
due under the terms of this Lease. Base Rent and ail other rent and charges for
any period during the term hereof which is for less than one full month shall be
prorated based upon the actual number of days of the month involved. Payment of
Base Rent and other charges shall be made to Lessor at its address stated herein
or to such other persons or at such other addresses as Lessor may from time to
time designate in writing to Lessee.

     4.2   [deleted]

5.   Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon Lessee's execution
hereof the Security Deposit set forth in Paragraph 1.7 as security for Lessee's
faithful performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. If Lessee fails
to pay Base Rent or other rent or charges due hereunder, or otherwise Defaults
under this Lease (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), Lessor may use, apply or retain
all or any portion of said Security Deposit for the payment of any amount due
Lessor or to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any liability, cost, expense,
loss or damage (including attorneys' fees) which Lessor may suffer or incur by
reason thereof. It Lessor uses or applies all or any portion of said Security
Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written request therefore
deposit monies with Lessor sufficient to restore said Security Deposit to the
tuft amount required by this Lease. Any time the Base Rent increases during the
term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon written request from Lessor, deposit
additional monies with Lessor as an addition to the Security Deposit so that the
total amount of the Security Deposit shall at all times bear the same proportion
to the then current Base Rent as the initial Security Deposit bears to the
initial Base Rent set forth in Paragraph 1.5. Lessor shall not be required to
keep all or any part of the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts.
Lessor shall, at the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof and
after Lessee has vacated the Premises, return to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option,
to the last assignee, it any, of Lessee's interest herein), that portion of the
Security Deposit not used or applied by Lessor. Unless otherwise expressly
agreed in writing by Lessor, no part of the Security Deposit shall be considered
to be held in trust, to bear interest or other increment for its use, or to be
prepayment for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this Lease.

6.   Use.

environment, or the Promises; (ii) regulated or monitored by any governmental
authority; or (iii) a basis for potential liability of Lessor to any

consent, but upon notice to Lessor and in compliance with all Applicable
Requirements, use any ordinary and customary materials reasonably required to be
used by Lessee in the normal course of the Permitted Use, so long as such use is
not a Reportable Use and does not expose the Premises or neighboring properties
to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage or expose Lessor to any
liability therefor. In addition, Lessor may (but without any obligation to do
so) condition its consent to any Reportable Use of any Hazardous Substance by
Lessee upon Lessee's giving Lessor such additional assurances as Lessor, in its
reasonable discretion, deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the
Premises and the environment against damage, contamination or injury and/or
liability therefor, including but not limited to the installation (and, at
Lessor's option, removal on or before Lease expiration or earlier termination)

to believe, that a Hazardous Substance has come to be located in, on, under or
about the Premises or the Building, other than as previously consented to by
Lessor, Lessee shall immediately give Lessor written notice thereof, together
with a copy of any statement, report, notice, registration, application, permit,
business plan, license, claim, action, or proceeding given to, or received from,
any govern-mental authority or private party concerning the presence, spill,
release, discharge of, or exposure to, such Hazardous Substance, including but
not limited to all such documents as may be involved in any Reportable Use
involving the Premises. Lessee shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substance

without limitation, through the plumbing or sanitary sewer system).

           (c)   Indemnification. Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and

request, provide Lessor with copies of all documents and information, including
but not limited to permits, registrations, manifests, applications, reports and
certificates, evidencing Lessee's compliance with any Applicable Requirements
specified by Lessor, and shall immediately upon receipt, notify Lessor in

during the term of this Lease shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner,
with good and sufficient materials, and be in compliance with all Applicable
Requirements. Lessee shall promptly upon completion thereof furnish Lessor with

notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises as provided by law. If

demand, then Lessee shall at its sole expense, defend and protect itself, Lessor
and the Premises against the same and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse
judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof against the
Lessor or the Premises. It Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor
a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to one and one-half
times the amount of such contested item claim or demand, indemnifying Lessor
against liability for the same, as required by law for the holding of the
Premises free from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may

such action if Lessor shall decide it is to its best interest to do so.

in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's determination as to
the financial and operational responsibility and appropriateness of the proposed
assignee or sublessee, including but not limited to the intended use and/or
required modification of the Premises, if any, together with a non-refundable
deposit of $1,000 or ten percent (10%) of the monthly Base Rent applicable to
the portion of the Premises which is the subject of the proposed assignment or
sublease, whichever is greater, as reasonable consideration for Lessor's
considering and processing the request for consent. Lessee agrees to provide
Lessor with such other or additional information and/or documentation as may be
reasonably requested by Lessor.

           (f)  Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason
of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed, for the
benefit of Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each
and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or
performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than
such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an
assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented in writing.

          (g)   The occurrence of a transaction described in Paragraph 12.2(c)
shall give Lessor the right (but not the obligation) to require that the
Security Deposit be increased by an amount equal to six (6) times the then
monthly Base Rent, and Lessor may make the actual receipt by Lessor of the
Security Deposit Increase a condition to Lessor's consent to such transaction.

          (h)   Lessor, as a condition to giving its consent to any assignment
or subletting, may require that the amount and adjustment schedule of the rent
payable under this Lease be adjusted to what is then the market value and/or
adjustment schedule for property similar to the Premises as then constituted, as
determined by Lessor.

     12.3  Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. The
following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all or
any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under
this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:

           (a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee's
interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of all or a portion
of the Premises heretofore or hereafter made by Lessee, and Lessor may collect
such rent and income and apply same toward Lessee's obligations under this
Lease; provided, however, that until a Breach (as defined in Paragraph 13.1)
shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, Lessee
may, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, receive, collect and enjoy the
rents accruing under such sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of the foregoing
provision or any other assignment of such sublease to Lessor, nor by reason of
the collection of the rents from a sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee
for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations
to such sublessee under such Sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating
that a Breach exists In the performance of Lessee's obligations under this
Lease, to pay to Lessor the rents and other charges due and to become due under
the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon any such statement and request from
Lessor and shall pay such rents and other charges to Lessor without any
obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists and
notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Lessee to the contrary. Lessee
shall have no right or claim against such sublessee, or, until the Breach has
been cured, against Lessor, for any such rents and other charges so paid by said
sublessee to Lessor.

           (b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee in the performance of its
obligations under this Lease, Lessor, at its option and without any obligation
to do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor
shall undertake the obligations of the sublessor under such sublease from the
time of the exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease;
provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security
deposit paid by such sublessee to such sublessor or for any other prior
defaults or breaches of such sublessor under such sublease.

                                                             Initials:_______
                                                                      _______
                                     -11-

           (c)  Any matter or thing requiring the consent of the sublessor under
a sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor herein.

           (d)  No sublessee under a sublease approved by Lessor shall further
assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises without Lessors prior written
consent which may be withheld in Lessor's sole discretion.

           (e)  Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or Breach
by Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the Default of
Lessee within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice. The sublessee
shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee for any
such Defaults cured by the sublessee.

13.  Default; Breach; Remedies.

     13.1  Default; Breach. Lessor and Lessee agree that if an attorney is
consulted by Lessor in connection with a Lessee Default or Breach (as
hereinafter defined), $350.00 is a reasonable minimum sum per such occurrence
for legal services and costs in the preparation and service of a notice of
Default, and that Lessor may include the cost of such services and costs in said
notice as rent due and payable to cure said default. A "Default" by Lessee is
defined as a failure by Lessee to observe, comply with or perform any of the
terms, covenants, conditions or rules applicable to Lessee under this Lease. A
"Breach" by Lessee is defined as the occurrence of any one or more of the
following Defaults, and, where a grace period for cure after notice is specified

same, or the abandonment of the Premises.

Lessee hereunder as and when due, the failure by Lessee to provide Lessor with
reasonable evidence of insurance or surety bond required under this Lease, or
the failure of Lessee to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which endangers
or threatens life or property, where such failure continues for a period of
three (3) days following written notice thereof by or on behalf of Lessor to
Lessee.

           (c)  Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the
failure by Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable written evidence (in duly
executed original form, if applicable) of (i) compliance with Applicable
Requirements per Paragraph 6.3, (ii) the inspection, maintenance and service
contracts required under Paragraph 7.1(b), (iii) the rescission of an
unauthorized assignment or subletting per Paragraph 12.1, (iv) a Tenancy
Statement per Paragraphs 16 or 37, (v) the subordination or non-subordination of
this Lease per Paragraph 30, (vi) the guaranty of the performance of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease if required under Paragraphs 1.11 and 37, (vii) the
execution of any document requested under Paragraph 42 (easements), or (viii)
any other documentation or information which Lessor may reasonably require of
Lessee under the terms of this lease, where any such failure continues for a
period of ten (10) days following written notice by or on behalf of Lessor to
Lessee.

           (d)  A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions or
provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under Paragraph 40 hereof that
are to be observed, complied with or performed by Lessee, other than those
described in Subparagraphs 13.1(a), (b) or (c), above, where such Default
continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by or on
behalf of Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that it the nature of Lessee's
Default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its
cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach of this Lease by Lessee if
Lessee commences such cure with-in said thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

           (e) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the making by
Lessee of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(ii) Lessee's becoming a "debtor" as defined in 11 U.S. Code Section 101 or any
successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against
Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of
a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets
located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where possession
is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days: or (iv) the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets
located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; provided, however, in the
event that any provision of this Subparagraph 13.1(e) is contrary to any
applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and shall not
affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

           (f)  The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement of Lessee
or of any Guarantor, given to Lessor by Lessee or any Guarantor, was materially
false.

           (g)  If the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease is
guaranteed: (i) the death of a Guarantor, (ii) the termination of a Guarantor's
liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance with the terms of
such guaranty, (iii) a Guarantor's becoming insolvent or the subject of a
bankruptcy filing, (iv) a Guarantor's refusal to honor the guaranty, or (v) a
Guarantor's breach of its guaranty obligation on an anticipatory breach basis,
and Lessee's failure, within sixty (60) days following written notice by or on
behalf of Lessor to Lessee of any such event, to provide Lessor with written
alternative assurances of security, which, when coupled with the then existing
resources of Lessee, equals or exceeds the combined financial resources of
Lessee and the Guarantors that existed at the time of execution of this Lease.

     13.2  Remedies. It Lessee fails to perform any affirmative duly or
obligation of Lessee under this Lease, within ten (10) days after written notice
to Lessee (or in case of an emergency, without notice). Lessor may at its option
(but

                                                               Initials:________
                                                                         _______

without obligation to do so), perform such duty or obligation on Lessee's
behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably required bonds,
insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or approvals. The costs
and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be due and payable by
Lessee to Lessor upon invoice therefor. It any check given to Lessor by Lessee
shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn, Lessor, at its own
option, may require all future payments to be made under this Lease by Lessee to
be made only by cashier's check. In the event of a Breach of this Lease by
Lessee (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), with or without further notice or demand.
and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor
may have by reason of such Breach, Lessor may:

           (a)  Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any
lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and
Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such
event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the worth at the time
of the award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of
termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have
been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by
which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award
exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could be
reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for
all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee's failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom, including but not limited to the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary
renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and that
portion of any leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award
of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding
sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of
the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or the Federal Reserve Bank District
in which the Premises are located at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Default or Breach of
this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to recover damages under this
Paragraph 13.2. If termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional
remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such
proceeding the unpaid rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lesser may
reserve the right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit to for
such rent and/or damages. If a notice and grace period required under
Subparagraph 13.1(b), (c) or (d) was not previously given, a notice to pay rent
or quit, or to perform or quit, as the case may be, given to Lessee under any
statute authorizing the forfeiture of !leases for unlawful detainer shall also
constitute, the applicable notice for grace period purposes required by
Subparagraph 13.1(b), (c) or (d). In such case, the applicable grace period
under the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently after the one such
statutory notice, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the
greater of the two (2) such grace periods shall constitute both in unlawful
detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies provided
for in this Lease and/or by said statute.

           (b)  Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession in effect
(in California under California Civil Code Section 1951.4) after Lessee's Breach
and recover the rent as it becomes due, provided Lessee has the right to sublet
or assign, subject only to reasonable limitation. Lessor and Lessee agree that
the limitations on assignment and subletting in this Lease are reasonable. Acts
of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Premises, or the
appointment or a receiver to protect the Lessor's interest under this Lease,
shall not constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to possession.

           (c)  Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor
under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are
located.

           (d)  The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the
termination of Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from
liability under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring
or accruing during the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the,
Promises.

     13.3  Inducement Recapture In Event of Breach. Any agreement by Lessor for
free or abated rent or other charges applicable to the Premises, or for the
giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus,
inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease, all of which
concessions are hereinafter referred to as "Inducement Provisions" shall be
doomed conditioned upon Lessee's hill and faithful performance of all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed or observed by
Lessee during the term hereof as the same may be extended. Upon the occurrence
of a Breach (as defined in Paragraph 13.1) of this Lease by Lessee, any such
Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and
of no, further force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or
consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessor under such an
Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor,
and recoverable by Lessor, as additional rent due under this Lease,
notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. The acceptance by
Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this
Paragraph 13.3 shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this
Paragraph 13.3 unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at the time of
such acceptance.

     13.4  Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor 10 111CM costs
not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by the
terms of any ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust covering the premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or other sum due from Lessee shall not
be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such
amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to six percent (6%) M Such overdue
amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by
Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a
waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted
hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not
collected, for three (3) consecutive

                                                              Initials:________
                                                                        _______

installments of Base Rent, then notwithstanding Paragraph 4.1 or any other
provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall. at Lessor's option,
become due and payable quarterly in advance.

     13.5  Breach by Lessor.  Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease
unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required
to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph 13.5, a reasonable
time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor,
and by any Lender(s) whose name and address shall have been furnished to Lessee
in writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such
obligation of Lessor has not been performed; provided, however, that if the
nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days after such
notice are reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in
breach of this Lease it performance is commenced within such thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.

14.  Condemnation.  If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the
power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power
(all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as
to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever first occurs. It more than ten percent (10%) of the floor
area of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the portion of
the Common Areas designated for Lessee's parking, is taken by condemnation,
Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing within ten (10) days
after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the
absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority
shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be
reduced in the same proportion as the rentable floor area of the Premises taken
bears to the total rentable floor area of the Premises. No reduction of Base
Rent shall occur if the condemnation does not apply to any portion of the
Premises. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the
power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such
power shall be the property of Lessor. whether such award shall be made as
compensation for diminution of value of the leasehold or for the taking of the
fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled
to any compensation, separately awarded to Lessee for Lessee's relocation
expenses and/or loss of Lessee's Trade Fixtures. In the event that this Lease is
not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of its
net severance damages received, over and above Lessee's Share of the legal and
other expenses incurred by Lessor in the condemnation, matter, repair any damage
to the Premises caused by such condemnation authority. Lessee shall be
responsible for the payment of any amount in excess of such not severance
damages required to complete such repair.

assignment. Except as provided in Paragraph 15.3, upon such transfer or
assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid. the prior Lessor
shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or
covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor. Subject to
the foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to be performed by
the Lessor shall be binding only upon the Lessor as hereinabove defined.

30.  Subordination; Attornment; Non-Disturbance.

     30.1  Subordination.  This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be
subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other
hypothecation or security device (collectively, "Security Device"), now or
hereafter placed by Lessor upon the real property of which the Premises are a
part, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Lessee
agrees that the Lenders holding any such Security Device shall have no duty,
liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under this
Lease, but that in the event of Lessor's default with respect to any such
obligation, Lessee will give any Lender whose name and address have been
furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose notice of Lessor's default pursuant
to Paragraph 13.5. If any Lender shall elect to have this Lease and/or any
Option granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device and shall give
written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Options shall be deemed
prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of the
documentation or recordation thereof.

     30.2  Attornment.  Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph
30.3, Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who acquires owner-
ship of the Promises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security Device, and that
in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (i) be liable for
any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring
prior to acquisition of ownership, (it) be subject to any offsets or defenses
which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, or (iii) be bound by
prepayment of more than one month's rent.

     30.3  Non-Disturbance.  With respect to Security Devices entered into by
Lessor after the execution of this lease, Lessee's subordination of this Lease
shall be subject to receiving assurance (a "non-disturbance agreement") from

                                                                 Initials: ____

                                                                           ____

the Lender that Lessee's possession and this Lease, including any options to
extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Lessee is not in Breach
hereof and attorns to the record owner of the Premises.

     30.4  Self-Executing.  The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30 shall
be effective without the execution of any further documents; provided, however,
that upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with a sale,
financing or refinancing of Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute such
further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any such
subordination or non-subordination, attornment and/or non-disturbance agreement
as is provided for herein.

31.  Attorneys' Fees.  If any Party brings an action or proceeding to enforce
the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder. the Prevailing Party (as here-
after defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be
entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same
suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such action or proceeding
is pursued to decision or judgment. The term "Prevailing Party" shall include,
without limitation, a Party who substantially obtains or defeats the relief
sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the
abandonment by the other Party of its claim or defense. The attorneys' fee award
shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be
such as to fully reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably incurred. Lessor shall
be entitled to attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred in preparation and
service of notices of Default and consultations in connection therewith, whether
or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with such Default
or resulting Breach.

32.  Lessor's Access; Showing Premises; Repairs.  Lessor and Lessor's agents
shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an
emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times for the purpose of showing the same
to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such alterations,
repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Building, as Lessor
may reasonably deem necessary. Lessor may at any time place on or about the
Premises or Building any ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time
during the last one hundred eighty (180) days of the term hereof place on or
about the Promises any ordinary "For Lease" signs. All such activities of Lessor
shall be without abatement of rent or liability to Lessee.

33.  Auctions.  Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Promises without first having
obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard
of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.

34.  Signs.  Lessee shall not place any sign upon the exterior of the Premises
or the Building, except that Lessee may, with Lessor's prior written consent,
install (but not on the roof) such signs as are reasonably required to advertise
Lessee's own business so long as such signs are in a location designated by
Lessor and comply with Applicable Requirements and the signage criteria
established for the Industrial Center by Lessor. The installation of any sign on
the Premises by or for Lessee shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7
(Maintenance, Repairs, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and Alterations).
Unless otherwise expressly agreed herein, Lessor reserves all rights to the use
of the roof of the Building, and the right to install advertising signs on the
Building, including the roof. which do not unreasonably interfere with the
conduct of Lessee's business; Lessor shall be entitled to all revenues from such
advertising signs.

35.  Termination; Merger.  Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by
Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual
termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for Breach
by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the
Premises; provided. however, Lessor shall, in the event of any such surrender,
termination or cancellation, have the option to continue any one or all of any
existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days following any such
event to make a written election to the contrary by written notice to the holder
of any such lesser interest, shall constitute Lessor's election to have such
event constitute the termination of such interest.

36.  Consents.

           (a)  Except for Paragraph 33 hereof (Auctions) or as otherwise
provided herein, wherever in this Lease the consent of a Party is required to an
act by or for the other Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Lessor's actual reasonable costs and expenses (including but not
limited to architects', attorneys', engineers' and other consultants' fees)
incurred in the consideration of. or response to. a request by Lessee for any
Lessor consent pertaining to this Lease or the Premises, including but not
limited to consents to an assignment a subletting or the presence or use of a
Hazardous Substance. shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor upon receipt of an
invoice and supporting documentation therefor. In addition to the deposit
described in Paragraph 12.2(e), Lessor may. as a condition to considering any
such request by Lessee, require that Lessee deposit with Lessor an amount of
money (in addition to the Security Deposit held under Paragraph 5) reasonably
calculated by Lessor to represent the cost Lessor will incur in considering and
responding to Lessee's request. Any unused portion of said deposit shall be
refunded to Lessee without interest. Lessor's consent to any act. assignment of
this Lease or subletting of the Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an
acknowledgment that no Default or Breach by Lessee of this Lease exists. nor
shall such consent be doomed a waiver of any then existing Default of Breach,
except as may be otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time
of such consent.

           (b)  All conditions to Lessor's consent authorized by this Lease are
acknowledged by Lessee as being reasonable. The failure to specify herein any
particular condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the impositions by
Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other conditions as are then
reason-able with reference to the particular matter for which consent is being
given.

                                                                 Initials: ____

          EQUIPMENT PURCHASE AND ENGINEERING TEST SERVICES AGREEMENT

     This EQUIPMENT PURCHASE AND ENGINEERING TEST SERVICES AGREEMENT (the
"Agreement") is entered into on this 29th day of September, 1999 by and among
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation ("Fairchild") and Artest Corporation
("Artest").

                                 I.   RECITALS

     Whereas, Fairchild is in the business of designing, manufacturing and
marketing high performance semiconductors for multiple end market uses; and

     Whereas, Artest is, among other things, in the business of performing test
services for semiconductors; and

     Whereas, Artest desires to purchase from Fairchild backend test equipment
used by the Fairchild Mixed Signal Business Unit ("MBU") (such equipment
collectively referred to as "TEST") and to provide engineering services and
production testing of products for MBU; and

     Whereas, Fairchild desires to subcontract to Artest all or a significant
portion of the MBU backend production test and shipping functions it currently
performs for itself, providing Artest can do so at competitive prices for this
service;

     Now, Therefore, Fairchild and Artest hereto agree as follows:

                               II.   DEFINITIONS

     1.  The definitions set forth below shall apply wherever they appear in
this Agreement and all exhibits hereto.

         1.1  "Confidential Information" shall mean any information written or
     otherwise disclosed in any medium by one party to the other under this
     Agreement which is marked or otherwise designated as "Confidential" or is

  this exhibit. Such portions are marked with a "[*]" in place of the redacted
  language. Omitted portions are filed separately with the Securities and
  Exchange Commission.
<PAGE>

     equal to the sum of Fairchild's current identified severance program for
     each of the TEST Personnel as specified in Exhibit 2 (for a total of [*]).
     Any part of the Retention Amount, which has not been paid to the TEST
     Personnel at the end of twelve (12) months following the effective date of
     this Agreement, shall be returned to Fairchild.

         1.4  "TEST" shall mean the backend test equipment of the Fairchild
     Mixed Signal Business Unit which is listed in Exhibit 1.

     INJURIES OR LOSS OF PROFITS, OR CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR INCIDENTAL
     DAMAGES.

     3.  Facilities Usage.  Artest will take over the facilities of TEST and
maintain TEST at the current Fairchild location for the benefit of Fairchild
(the "TEST Facilities") and pay Fairchild a user fee for the space at the full
service rate listed in Exhibit 2, Table 2. Artest agrees to comply in all
respects with any requirements imposed on Fairchild under its Master Lease with
Naoto Ohtsuki. Fairchild will notify Naoto Ohtsuki of Artest's usage of the TEST
facilities.

          3.1  User Fee.  As specified in Exhibit 2, Table 2, the user fee
     for the TEST Facilities shall be $5,840.00 which rate the parties agree
     is fair and reasonable. The user fee shall be payable on or before the
     third day of each month.

         3.2  Default.  Artest shall be in default of its obligations under the
     Facilities Usage portion of this Agreement if it fails to pay the monthly
     user fee as specified in Exhibit 2, Table 2 when due, or takes any other
     action inconsistent with Fairchild's Master Lease, and such failure is not
     cured within three business days after Artest's receipt of written notice.
     In the event of Artest's default, Fairchild shall have the following rights
     and remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law:
     (1) Fairchild may keep the Facilities Usage portion of this Agreement in
     effect and recover unpaid rents, (2) Fairchild may release the TEST
     Facilities to another tenant, (3) Fairchild may terminate the Facilities
     Usage portion of this Agreement by written notice to Artest.

         3.3  Utilities.  Fairchild will provide phone system access and
     separate billing of phone usage. Artest will pay all charges for Artest's
     phone usage while at the current Fairchild facilities. All other utilities
     and building maintenance services are included in the full service rate
     listed in Exhibit 2, Table 2.

         3.4  Length of Usage.  Artest will sublease from Fairchild the space
     described in Exhibit 2, Table 2, from the date of the execution of this
     Agreement until June 30, 2000.

         3.5  Relocation of TEST.  Upon the expiration of the term of the
     sublease, but in no event later than June 30, 2000, Artest shall relocate
     TEST at its own cost to a new facility that allows full access by Fairchild
     product and test engineering personnel. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
     Artest shall ensure the continuous operation of TEST during the relocation
     with uninterrupted access by Fairchild employees. The TEST Facilities after
     June of 2000 shall be of the same quality and proximity to Fairchild's
     product and test engineering personnel as are the current TEST Facilities.
     Artest and Fairchild shall use their best efforts to jointly seek new space
     to allow for a coordinated move to the new facilities. All facility items
     purchased by Artest will remain the property of Artest after the expiration
     of the current lease and not part of Facility left behind for landlord.

     4.  Personnel.  Artest shall offer employment, at comparable pay and
benefits, to the operators and test personnel listed in Exhibit 2, Table I who
are currently employed by Fairchild, to maintain continuity and knowledge of
Fairchild products (the "TEST Personnel"). The TEST Personnel shall become
employees of Artest and shall be the sole responsibility of Artest. In addition
to the personnel listed in Exhibit 2, Artest shall provide to the TEST Personnel
team two additional positions to be filled from current Artest personnel or to
be newly hired by Artest at its discretion. These two positions shall be a
shipping clerk and a supervisor of the TEST Personnel.

         4.1  Retention of TEST Personnel.  Artest, with the cooperation of
     Fairchild, shall use its best efforts to jointly develop a retention
     program to assure employment continuity of the TEST Personnel to be hired
     by Artest from Fairchild. Fairchild shall pay to Artest a Retention Amount
     to foster this continuity. The Retention Amount shall be paid in four (4)
     quarterly retainer payments to Artest during the twelve (12) months
     following the effective date of the Agreement. Any additional retention
     program to either new personnel or to personnel listed in Exhibit 2 is the
     sole responsibility of Artest. The Retention Amount shall be intended to
     meet any severance obligation of Fairchild to the TEST Personnel and they
     shall be notified of this fact. Any other obligations to employees of TEST
     prior to the transfer are the sole responsibility of Fairchild.

                        IV.   ENGINEERING TEST SERVICES

     5.  Engineering Test Services.  Fairchild agrees to contract with Artest
for production test and shipping services (the "Engineering Test Services").
Artest shall provide these services to Fairchild in the same manner as they are
currently done by Fairchild. Artest shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
perform its obligations under this Engineering Test Services Agreement and
Fairchild agrees to cooperate in good faith to allow Artest to perform the
Engineering Test Services.

     6.  Relationship of the Parties.  For all purposes of this agreement Artest
shall be acting as an independent contractor and not as an employee or agent of
Fairchild.  Artest further understands that, except as specifically provided in
this Agreement, Fairchild is under no obligation to contract for any work
exclusively from Artest, and Artest is free to contract to supply work to
others.

     7.  Access to Teradyne and Trillium Equipment.  Artest will provide access
to TEST for Fairchild product and test engineers for test development and yield
enhancement during the daytime shift (8 A.M - 5 P.M., Monday - Friday). Artest
shall provide to Fairchild at the request of Fairchild, up to [*] hours per
month of Teradyne and up to [*] hours per month of Trillium machine time
during the daytime shift. The Teradyne and Trillium equipment that Fairchild
may use is described in Exhibit 1. Fairchild's time on said machines shall be
allocated evenly throughout each month.

         7.1  Notice of Change in Usage.  Fairchild shall notify Artest if it
     doesn't need the minimum guarantee time and will release any unused machine
     time to Artest for its use. Conversely, Artest will notify Fairchild if it
     doesn't need the machine time

  this exhibit. Such portions are marked with a "[*]" in place of the redacted
  language. Omitted portions are filed separately with the Securities and
  Exchange Commission.
<PAGE>

     beyond the minimum time listed above and release to Fairchild the right to
     use the machines beyond the agreed to hours.

         7.2  User Fee.  For the use of the Teradyne and Trillium machines
     described in Exhibit 1, Fairchild shall pay to Artest a user fee in the
     amount of [*] per year payable in equal monthly installments beginning on
     the date of the execution of this Agreement. The user fee shall be payable
     on or before the third day of each month. Any hours used in excess of the
     amounts listed in section 7 shall be billed at "most favorable price"
     offered by Artest to other customers but in no event are to exceed [*]/hour
     for Teradyne and [*]/hour for Trillium.

         7.3  License.  Artest and Fairchild shall use their best efforts to
     work to transfer to Artest any Fairchild "right to use" license on the
     Teradyne or any other piece of the TEST equipment. Artest and Fairchild
     shall use their reasonable best efforts to minimize the cost of this
     transfer but any costs associated with the transfer of the license shall be
     born by Artest alone and Fairchild shall have no obligation to assure the
     transfer.

     8.  Eagle Test System.  Artest shall purchase an Eagle test system and
related interface hardware satisfactory to Fairchild to be located at the TEST
Facilities. The Eagle test system and interface hardware shall be satisfactory
to Fairchild and shall enable both production test and test development.
Fairchild will use its best efforts to negotiate with the Eagle Test Company to
allow Artest access to Fairchild's favorable price, but Fairchild shall not be
obligated to obtain such price for Artest.

         8.1  Access to Eagle Test System.  Artest will provide access to the
     Eagle Test system to Fairchild product and test engineers for test
     development and yield enhancement during the daytime shift (8 A.M - 5 P.M.,
     Monday - Friday). Artest shall provide to Fairchild at Fairchild's request
     up to 90 hours per month of machine during the daytime shift each month.
     Fairchild's time shall be allocated evenly throughout each month.

         8.2  Notice of Change in Usage.  Fairchild shall notify Artest when it
     doesn't need the minimum guarantee time and will release any unused machine
     time to Artest for its use. Conversely, Artest will notify Fairchild if it
     doesn't need the Eagle machine beyond the minimum time listed above and
     release to Fairchild the right to use the machines beyond the agreed to
     hours.

         8.3  User Fee.  For the use of the Eagle Test system as listed above,
     Fairchild shall pay to Artest a user fee in the amount of [*] per year
     payable in equal monthly installments beginning on the date of the
     execution of this Agreement. The user fee shall be payable on or before the
     third day of each month. Any hours used in excess of the amounts listed in
     section 8 shall be billed at "most favorable price" offered by Artest to
     other customers but in no event are to exceed [*]/hour.

     9.  Production Test Services.  Fairchild agrees to use Artest to perform
all final test and shipping responsibilities for all currently sold Fairchild
products listed in the Old 26MM Table of Exhibit 3 for a period of at least
three (3) years, provided that Artest can maintain

* Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to certain portions of
  this exhibit. Such portions are marked with a "[*]" in place of the redacted
  language. Omitted portions are filed separately with the Securities and
  Exchange Commission.

<PAGE>

competitive costs, service and quality for test and shipping. While the costs
for the production test services supplied by Artest must be competitive with
equivalent services provided in the semiconductor industry, the costs shall not
exceed the costs for test and shipping listed in Exhibit 3. The parties agree to
meet from time to time during the course of the term of this agreement to
discuss the services and quality for the testing provided by Artest to Fairchild
under this agreement. If Fairchild determines that Artest's services are in any
way non-competitive, then Fairchild shall give Artest written notice of such
inadequacy and Artest shall have reasonable time to correct the deficiency. If
Artest shall fail to correct then Fairchild can upon written notice obtain
services from another source.

         9.1  Test Services for Fairchild's Mixed Signal Business Unit.
     Fairchild shall endeavor to use Artest as its subcontractor for all final
     test and shipping for any new products Fairchild develops at its Mixed
     Signal Business facility provided that Artest's costs, service and quality
     are competitive with equivalent services provided in the semiconductor
     industry and meet Fairchild's needs; provided, however that nothing herein
     is intended to delay Fairchild with its business planning or ability to
     sell products. Exhibit 3, Table 2 lists some of these new products, along
     with estimated final test revenue. Fairchild is not bound by the
     projections listed in Exhibit 3, Table 2.

         9.2  Test Services at Other Fairchild Owned Facilities.  Artest agrees
     that any products developed by Fairchild that can be assembled at its other
     owned facilities (usually products with less than 20 pins) will be tested
     by Fairchild and not Artest.

         9.3  Yearly Run Rates. Fairchild agrees to provide Artest yearly run
     rates of its products for all Engineering and Test Services set forth in
     Section IV of this Agreement, that can meet or exceed $825,000 of
     equivalent production probe and/or final test volume as estimated in
     Exhibit 3 for a period of three (3) years provided that Artest's cost,
     service and quality for these services are competitive with equivalent
     cost, service and quality provided in the semiconductor industry. In
     addition, Fairchild does not guarantee any specific product mix. If at the
     end of each 12-month period from the execution of this agreement, Fairchild
     has not met the minimum guaranteed production revenue, then Fairchild shall
     pay any remaining difference between actual testing services revenue and
     $825,000 within 30 days of the end of each 12-month period.

     10.  Term of Services Contract.  Unless otherwise specified, the term of
the Engineering Test Services part of the Agreement shall be for a minimum of
three (3) years from the date of the execution of this Agreement.

     11.  Termination and Renewal.  At least 90 but not more that 180 days
before the expiration of this Agreement, the parties shall notify each other in
writing whether the Agreement will terminate. If the parties do not provide such
notification, the Agreement will automatically renew for a period of one year at
prices to be agreed upon. Thereafter, the agreement will automatically renew
each year until the parties provide written notice of its termination.

     12.  Termination for Cause.  If either party materially breaches a
provision and fails to cure such breach within the thirty (30) days after
receiving written notice from the other party, such other party shall have the
right at its option to terminate the Engineering Test Services portion of this
Agreement. Upon termination of the Engineering Test Services portion of this

* Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to certain portions of
  this exhibit. Such portions are marked with a "[*]" in place of the redacted
  language. Omitted portions are filed separately with the Securities and
  Exchange Commission.
<PAGE>

Agreement for cause, the parties shall pay to each other any fees or rents due
at the time of the termination.

     13.  Bankruptcy.  Should either party: (i) become insolvent, (ii) make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iii) file or have filed against it a
petition in bankruptcy or reorganization; (iv) have a receiver, manager,
administrator, or administrative receiver appointed; or (v) institute any
proceedings for liquidation or winding up; then the other party may, in addition
to other rights and remedies it may have, terminate this Agreement immediately
by written notice.

     14.  Property Upon Termination.  Upon expiration or termination of this
Agreement, both parties will deliver to the other all property of the other
party that they may have in their possession or control.

                              V.   MISCELLANEOUS

     15.  Invoices.  Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, Artest and
Fairchild shall invoice each other for fees for any Engineering Test Services

invoiced, and shall be deemed overdue if they remain unpaid thirty (30) days
after they become payable.  Overdue amounts shall accrue interest at the rate of
two (2) percent per month, or at the highest legal interest rate, if less.

     16.  Confidential Information.  During the term of this Agreement and
subsequent thereto, the receiving party will keep all Confidential Information
of the other party in confidence and will not, without prior written consent of
the disclosing party, publish, disclose or otherwise make available, directly or
indirectly, any item of Confidential Information to any person other than those
of the receiving party's employees, agents or contractors who need to know the
same in the performance of their duties for the receiving party.

     17.  Dispute Resolution.  The parties shall attempt in good faith to
resolve any dispute arising out of this Agreement, including but not limited to
any dispute regarding the interpretation of or performance under said Agreement,
promptly by negotiations. If these negotiations should fail, the parties shall
resolve any dispute by submitting it to binding arbitration in San Jose,
California under the rules of the American Arbitration. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, either party shall have the right to seek preliminary injunctive
relief at any time. The prevailing party shall have all reasonable legal fees
reimbursed.

     18.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by
the laws of the United States of America and the State of California. The
parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of goods is specifically excluded from application to this
Agreement.
