     This
Agreement, made this 1st day of May, 2004, by and between STURGIS
BANK & TRUST COMPANY, a Michigan savings bank (“STURGIS”), and DAVID E. WATTERS
of Sturgis, Michigan (“Employee”).

     WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, STURGIS desires to employ Employee and Employee desires to be
employed by STURGIS upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

     1. Employment. STURGIS hereby employs Employee as Vice President and
Trust Officer, and Employee hereby accepts employment by STURGIS upon the terms
and conditions herein set forth. The primary place of employment shall be at
STURGIS’ principal offices, Sturgis, Michigan, or at such other location as
STURGIS may designate.

     2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of May 1, 2004 for
a term of three (3) years, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter set forth.

     3. Duties. Employee will, during the term hereof:

     (A) As Vice President and Trust Officer to faithfully and diligently do
and perform all such acts and duties and furnish such services as the Board of
Directors of STURGIS shall direct, and do and perform all acts in the ordinary
course of STURGIS’ business, with such limits as the Board of STURGIS may
prescribe, necessary and conducive to STURGIS’ best interests; and,

     (B) Devote his full time, energy, and skill to the business of STURGIS and
to the promotion of STURGIS’ best interests, except for vacations and absences
made necessary because of illness.

     4. Compensation.

     (A) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 6 hereof, STURGIS shall pay to
Employee for all services to be performed by Employee during the term of this
Agreement:

(i) a salary at the rate of Ninety-One Thousand Five Hundred Fifty Nine
($91,559.00) Dollars per annum, payable in periodic payments in
accordance with STURGIS’ practices for other executive, managerial, and
supervisory employees, as such practices may be determined from time to
time. The Board of Directors of STURGIS (“Board of Directors”) will
review such fixed salary annually and, in its discretion, may grant
increases or decreases thereof based upon Employee’s performance; and

-91-

 

(ii) any additional or special compensation, such as incentive pay or
bonuses, based upon Employee’s performance, as the Board of Directors in
its discretion, may from time to time determine.

All such payments will be subject to such deductions as may be required to be
made pursuant to law, government regulation or order, or by agreement with, or
consent of, Employee.

     (B) In addition to the salary payments set forth above, STURGIS agrees
that during the term of this Agreement:

(i) Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement by STURGIS for all
reasonable expenses actually and necessarily incurred by him on its
behalf in the course of his employment hereunder, for which he shall
submit vouchers in a form satisfactory to STURGIS and which are approved
by STURGIS in its sole discretion;

     5. Benefits. Employee shall be entitled to participate in such life
insurance, medical, pension, retirement, and stock option plans and other
programs, including sick leave, as may be approved from time to time by STURGIS
for the benefit of its employees. Employee also shall be entitled to no less
than four (4) weeks of vacation under STURGIS’ current policy, as amended. The
said vacation shall not be carried over from year to year. Other benefits, not
exclusive of the above, are those set forth from time to time in the Employee’s
Standard Employment Policy and Handbook.

     6. Termination. Employee’s employment with STURGIS shall terminate by
reason of Employee’s death, or total and/or permanent disability (as defined
for social security purposes) or for cause. STURGIS shall have the sole
discretion to determine whether the conditions constituting a termination for
cause have occurred. In the event of a termination of employment pursuant to
this paragraph 6, all obligations of STURGIS hereunder shall terminate.

     (A) In addition to the foregoing, STURGIS’ Board of Directors may
terminate the Employee’s employment at any time, but any termination by
STURGIS’ Board of Directors other than termination for cause, shall not
prejudice the Employee’s right to compensation or other benefits under the
contract. The Employee shall have no right to receive compensation or other
benefits for any period after termination for cause. Termination for cause
shall include termination because of the Employee’s personal dishonesty,
incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal
profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any
law, rule, or regulation, (other than traffic violations or similar offenses)
or final cease-and-desist order, or material breach of any provision of this
contract.

-92-

 

     (B) If the Employee is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from
participating in the conduct of STURGIS’ affairs by a notice served under
section 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of (the) Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C.
1818(e)(3) and (g)(1) STURGIS’ obligations under the contract shall be
suspended as of the date of service unless stayed by appropriate proceedings.
If the charges in the notice are dismissed, STURGIS may in its discretion (i)
pay the Employee all or part of the compensation withheld while its contract
obligations were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its
obligations which were suspended.

     (C) If the Employee is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
participating in the conduct of STURGIS’ affairs by an order issued under
section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C.
1818(e)(4) or (g)(1)), all obligations of STURGIS under the contract shall
terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the
contracting parties shall not be affected.

     (D) If STURGIS is in default (as defined in section 3(x)(1) of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act), all obligations under the contract shall terminate as
of the date of default, but this paragraph D. shall not affect any vested
rights of the contracting parties.

     (E) All obligations under the contract shall be terminated, except to the
extent determined that continuation of the contract is necessary (for the
continued operation of STURGIS):

(i) by the Director or his or her designee, at the time the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Michigan Office of Financial and
Insurance Services enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or
on behalf of STURGIS under the authority contained in section 13(c) of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; or

(ii) by the Director or his or her designee, at the time the Director or
his or her designee approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems
related to operation of STURGIS or when STURGIS is determined by the
Director to be in an unsafe or unsound condition.

     Any rights of the parties that have already vested, however, shall not be
affected by such action.

     (F) Upon thirty (30) days written notice by Employee to STURGIS, the
Employee may terminate this Agreement forfeiting all of his rights including
vested rights unless Employee terminates such employment with good reason (as
defined in the Agreement).

-93-

 

     7. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

     (A) “Cause” shall include in its meaning:

(i) Employee’s conviction of any criminal violation involving
dishonesty, fraud, or breach of trust;

(ii) Employee’s willful engagement in any misconduct in the performance
of his duty that materially injures STURGIS;

(iii) Employee’s performance of any act which, if known to the
customers, clients or stockholders of STURGIS would materially and
adversely impact on the business of STURGIS;

(iv) Employee’s willful and substantial nonperformance of his duties and
such nonperformance continues more than ten (10) days after STURGIS has
given written notice of such nonperformance and of its intention to
terminate Employee’s employment because of such nonperformance; or,

(v) Employee’s willful violation of paragraphs 8 or 9 herein.

     (B) “Good Reason” shall exist if, without Employee’s express written
consent:

(i) STURGIS shall assign to Employee duties of a nonexecutive nature or
for which Employee is not reasonably equipped by his skills and
experience;

(ii) STURGIS shall reduce the salary of Employee, or materially reduce
the amount of paid vacations to which he is entitled, or his fringe
benefits and perquisites;

(iii) STURGIS shall require Employee to relocate his principal business
office or his principal place of residence outside the Sturgis, Michigan
Marketing Area (the “Area”), or assign to Employee duties that would
reasonably require such relocation;

(iv) STURGIS shall require Employee, or assign duties to Employee which
would reasonably require him to spend more than ninety (90) normal
working days away from the Area during any consecutive twelve (12) month
period;

(v) STURGIS shall fail to provide office facilities, secretarial
services, and other administrative services to Employee which are
substantially equivalent to the facilities and services provided to
Employee on the date hereof; or,

(vi) STURGIS shall terminate incentive and benefit plans or
arrangements, or reduce or limit Employee’s participation therein
relative to the level of participation of other executives of similar
rank, to such an extent as to

-94-

 

materially reduce the aggregate value of
Employee’s incentive compensation and benefits below their aggregate
value of the date hereof.

     8. Restrictive Covenant. During the term of this Agreement, and for a
period of one (1) year following the termination of Employee’s employment with
STURGIS pursuant to this Agreement including termination occasioned by the
expiration of this Agreement, and in consideration for payments made on an
installment basis to Employee pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 280(G)
as amended, Employee shall not:

     (A) Within a geographic radius of seventy-five (75) miles from Sturgis,
Michigan, engage in, or work for, manage, operate, control or participate in
the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected with, or
have any financial interest in, any individual, partnership, firm, corporation
or institution engaged in the same or similar activities to those now or
hereafter carried on by STURGIS;

     (B) Interfere with the relationship of STURGIS and any of its employees,
agents or representatives; and,

     (C) Directly or indirectly divert or attempt to divert from STURGIS any
business in which STURGIS has been actively engaged during the term hereof, nor
interfere with the relationships of STURGIS with its dealers, distributors,
sources of supply or customers.

     Any breach of the covenant not to compete by Employee will result in the
forfeiture by Employee and all other persons of any and all rights to unpaid
benefits and payments at the time of breach and in such event STURGIS shall
have no further obligation to pay any amounts related thereto.

     9. Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. Employee acknowledges that
STURGIS may disclose certain confidential information to Employee during the
term of this Agreement to enable him to perform his duties hereunder. Employee
hereby covenants and agrees that he will not, without the prior written consent
of STURGIS, during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter,
disclose or permit to be disclosed to any third party by any method whatsoever
any of the confidential information of STURGIS. For purposes of this
Agreement, “confidential information” shall include, but not be limited to, any
and all records, notes, memoranda, data, ideas, techniques, programs, computer
software, writings, research, personnel information, customer information,
STURGIS’ financial information, plans, or any other information of whatever
nature in the possession or control of STURGIS which has not been published or
disclosed to the general public, or which gives to STURGIS an opportunity to
obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know of or use it. Employee
further agrees that if his employment hereunder is terminated for any reason,
he will leave with STURGIS and will not take originals or copies of any and all
records, papers, programs, computer software and documents and all matter of
whatever nature which

-95-

 

bears secret or confidential information of STURGIS.

     The foregoing paragraph shall not be applicable if and to the extent
Employee is required to testify in a judicial or regulatory proceeding pursuant
to an order of a judge or administrative law judge issued after Employee and
his legal counsel urge that the aforementioned confidentiality be preserved.

     Employee agrees, without charge to STURGIS or at STURGIS’ expense, to
execute, acknowledge and deliver to STURGIS all such papers, including
trademark registrations, and assignments thereof, as may be necessary, and at
all times to assist STURGIS, its successors, assigns and nominees in every
proper way to patent or register said programs, ideas, discoveries,
improvements, copyrightable material or trademarks in any and all countries and
to vest title thereto in STURGIS, its parent, subsidiaries, successors, assigns
or nominees.

     Employee will promptly report to STURGIS all discoveries, inventions, or
improvements of whatever nature conceived or made by him at any time he was
employed by STURGIS, its parent, subsidiaries or successors. All such
discoveries, inventions and improvements which are applicable in any way to
STURGIS’ business shall be the sole and exclusive property of STURGIS.

     The covenants set forth in this paragraph which are made by Employee are
in consideration of the employment, or continuing employment of, and the
compensation paid to, Employee during his employment by STURGIS. The foregoing
covenants will not prohibit Employee from disclosing confidential or other
information to other employees of STURGIS or to third parties to the extent
that such disclosure is necessary to the performance of his duties under this
Agreement.

     10. Additional Remedies. It is expressly understood and agreed that
although Employee and STURGIS consider the restrictions contained in this
Agreement to be reasonable for the purpose of preserving the going business
value and goodwill of STURGIS, if a final judicial determination is made by a
court having jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction
contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against the
Employee, provisions of such restrictions shall not be rendered void but shall
be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such
other extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be
reasonable. Alternatively, if the court referred to above finds that any
restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction
cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such findings shall not effect
the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein.

     The Employee acknowledges and agrees that STURGIS’ remedy at law for a
breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement would be
inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, in the event of a breach or a
threatened breach by the Employee of any of the provisions, it is agreed that,
in addition to its

-96-

 

remedy at law, STURGIS shall be entitled, without posting
any bond, to obtain equitable relief, and the Employee agrees not to oppose
STURGIS’ request for equitable relief in the form of specific performance,
temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction, or any other
equitable remedy which may then be available. The Employee acknowledges that
the granting of a temporary injunction, temporary restraining order or
permanent injunction merely prohibiting a breach or threatened breach would not
be an adequate remedy, and consequently agrees upon any such breach or
threatened breach to the granting of injunctive relief. Nothing herein
contained shall be construed as prohibiting STURGIS from pursuing any other
remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach.

     11. Nonassignment. This Agreement is personal to Employee and shall not
be assigned by him. Employee shall not delegate, encumber, alienate, transfer
or otherwise dispose of his rights and duties hereunder. STURGIS may assign
this Agreement without Employee’s consent to any other entity who, in
connection with such assignment, acquires all or substantially all of STURGIS’
assets or into or with which STURGIS is merged or consolidated.

     12. Waiver. The waiver by STURGIS of a breach by Employee of any
provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach by Employee.

     13. Severability. If any clause, phrase, provision or portion of this
Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be
invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, such event shall not affect
or render invalid or unenforceable the remainder of this Agreement and shall
not affect the application of any clause, provision, or portion hereof to other
persons or circumstances.

     14. Benefit. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of STURGIS, its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon STURGIS and
Employee, its and his heirs, personal representatives and successors, including
without limitation Employee’s estate and the executors, administrators, or
trustees of such estate.

     15. Relevant Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the United States and State of Michigan.

     16. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications in
connection with this Agreement shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to
have been given when delivered by hand or 48 hours after mailing at any general
or branch United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, addressed as follows, or to such other address as shall have been
designated in writing by the addressee:

FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED

REAL PROPERTY SUBLEASE AGREEMENT

     This First Amended and Restated Real Property Sublease Agreement (this

Tempe, Arizona 85281, Tempe, Arizona (“TFS”), and Brillian Corporation, having
an address at 1600 North Desert Drive, Tempe, Arizona 85281 (“Brillian”).

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Lease Agreement dated July 31, 1995 (as
amended from time to time, collectively, the “Master Lease”), by and between
The City of Tempe (“Master Landlord”), and TFS, as tenant, TFS leases that
certain building located at 1600 North Desert Drive, Tempe, Arizona 85281
(herein the “Premises or the “Building”), which is more particularly described
in the Master Lease;

     WHEREAS, a true and correct copy of the Master Lease is attached hereto as
Exhibit A and made a part hereof. All capitalized terms not herein defined
shall have the meanings given to them in the Master Lease;

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Ground Sublease TFS subleases the Land from
Papago Park Center, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“Ground Lessor”); the Ground
Sublease is attached hereto as Exhibit B and made a part hereof; and

     WHEREAS, TFS desires to sublet to Brillian and Brillian desires to sublet
from TFS approximately 42,524 square feet of rentable floor area (the “Sublet
Premises”) of the Building, which Sublet Premises are indicated on Exhibit C
attached hereto and made a part hereof; and

     WHEREAS, TFS and Brillian entered into that certain Real Property Sublease
Agreement, dated September 1, 2003 (the “Real Property Sublease Agreement”).
This Sublease amends, restates, and supersedes the Real Property Sublease
Agreement as of the date hereof.

AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, and
conditions hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound hereby, it
is mutually agreed as follows:

     1. SUBLET PREMISES; USE.

          (a) TFS hereby subleases the Sublet Premises to Brillian and Brillian
hereby subleases the Sublet Premises from TFS, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof and the Master Lease. Brillian shall not use the Sublet
Premises for any illegal or improper purpose which shall constitute a nuisance
nor do or suffer anything to be done in or about the Sublet Premises which will
violate any term of the Master Lease, this Sublease, or any laws, rules,
regulations, or ordinances or increase the rate of fire or other insurance or
jeopardize the coverage of the same.
Brillian agrees to comply with all of Master Landlord’s rules and
regulations relating to the Sublet Premises or the building in which the Sublet
Premises is located.

 

 

          (b) In the event TFS fails to deliver to Brillian possession of the Sublet
Premises or obtain the consent of the Master Landlord, TFS shall not be liable
for any damages caused thereby, whether or not such failure is caused by the
negligence of TFS or otherwise. In addition, this Sublease shall not be void or
voidable if possession is tendered to Brillian within forty-five (45) days
after the Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) and the consent of the
Master Landlord is obtained within such forty-five (45) day period. In such
event, the Commencement Date shall be the later of (i) the date such possession
of the Sublet Premises is so tendered, and (ii) the date TFS obtains the
consent of Master Landlord. In the event that such period elapses and TFS shall
not have tendered possession to Brillian and obtained the consent of the Master
Landlord, this Sublease shall be voidable at Brillian’s option upon written
notice to TFS, in which event TFS shall return the Security Deposit, if any,
and Brillian shall have no further rights or remedies hereunder. For purposes
of this Sublease, possession of the Sublet Premises shall be deemed tendered
upon TFS’s providing access to Brillian. Brillian’s failure to take possession
of the Sublet Premises for any reason when delivered by TFS shall not delay the
Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined).

          (c) Brillian shall also have the right to use in common with TFS (and such
other subtenants as from time to time may occupy the Building) the facilities
yard, parking areas, improvements (other than the Building) located from time
to time on the Land, and the common areas described on Exhibit C attached
hereto and made a part hereof (all of the foregoing in this Paragraph 1(c), the
“Common Areas”).

     2. TERM.

          (a) Subject to the terms of Paragraph l(b) above, the initial term of this
Sublease shall be for a period of two (2) years (the “Initial Sublease Term”)
and shall commence on the date of execution hereof by TFS (the “Commencement
Date”) and terminate on August 31, 2005. The Initial Sublease Term may be
extended for additional one year terms (each, a “Renewal Term”) pursuant to the
terms and provisions of Paragraph 2(b) below. The Initial Sublease Term,
together with any and all Renewal Terms, is hereinafter collectively referred
to as the “Sublease Term”.

          (b) Except as set forth in Paragraph 2(c) below, the Sublease Term shall
be automatically extended for successive Renewal Terms unless Brillian shall
give to TFS written notice of its election to terminate this Sublease at least
180 days prior to the beginning of the first Renewal Term or any then
applicable succeeding Renewal Term.

          (c) In the event that TFS desires to terminate this Sublease as of the
expiration of the Sublease Term, or during the Sublease Term, TFS shall give to
Brillian written notice of its election to terminate this Sublease at least 180
days prior to the date of such termination.

     3. RENT.

          (a) Base Rent. During the term of this Sublease, Brillian covenants and
agrees to pay to TFS, without deduction or setoff of any kind, minimum annual
base rent in an amount equal to $202,884.00 (such minimum annual rent
hereinafter called the “Base Sublease Rent”), payable in equal monthly
installments of $16,907.00. The aforesaid monthly Base Sublease Rent has been
calculated as the depreciation amount of the building space leased by Brillian.
The Base

2

 

Sublease Rent shall be paid in advance on the first day of each month
during the term of this Sublease.

          (b) Building Services Rent. During the term of this Sublease, Brillian
covenants and agrees to pay to TFS, without deduction or setoff of any kind,
annual building services rent in an amount equal to $278,964 (“Building
Services Rent”) payable in equal monthly installments of $23,247. The
particular services that are provided by TFS to Brillian and that are covered
under Building Services Rent are enumerated and described in Exhibit D to this
Sublease. For purposes of this Sublease, Building Services Rent shall include
all Rent other than Base Rent, MIS Services Rent, and Variable Rent. Brillian
shall pay to TFS this amount on the first day of each month during the term of
this Sublease.

          (c) MIS Services Rent. During the term of this Sublease, Brillian
covenants and agrees to pay to TFS, without deduction or setoff of any kind,
annual MIS services rent in the amounts set forth in Exhibit E to this Sublease
(“MIS Services Rent”). The particular services that are provided by TFS to
Brillian and that are covered under MIS Services Rent are enumerated and
described in Exhibit E to this Sublease. Brillian shall pay to TFS the MIS
Services Rent in accordance with Exhibit E to this Sublease.

          (d) Variable Rent. During the term of this Sublease, Brillian covenants
and agrees to pay to TFS, without deduction or setoff of any kind, the monthly
costs actually incurred for the items enumerated in Exhibit F to this Sublease
(“Variable Services Rent”). Brillian shall pay to TFS this amount within
fifteen (15) days from the receipt of an invoice from TFS.

     4. FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT. In the event that, during the term of this
Sublease, a building fixture or piece of maintenance or operating equipment
breaks or fails to work properly, and that fixture or piece of maintenance or
operating equipment is solely used by Brillian under the terms of this
Sublease, then (i) TFS reserves the right to not repair or replace the said
fixture or piece of maintenance or operating equipment, or (ii) in the event
that TFS chooses to repair or replace such fixture or piece of maintenance or
operating equipment, Brillian shall be solely liable for any costs associated
with such action.

     5. CONSTRUCTION; ACCEPTANCE. Brillian agrees that TFS has no construction, repair, or replacement
obligations hereunder and that Brillian will accept the Sublet Premises in
“as-is” condition; provided, however, TFS shall deliver the Sublet Premises in
the same arrangement and condition as on the date or the execution of this
Sublease. Brillian’s taking possession of the Sublet Premises shall be a
conclusive acknowledgement on Brillian’s part that the Sublet Premises are in
good and tenantable condition and that Brillian has accepted the Sublet
Premises in “as is” condition as of such date.

     6. REPRESENTATIONS. TFS hereby warrants and represents that (i) the
Master Lease is presently in full force and effect; (ii) that TFS has the power
and authority to enter into this Sublease; (iii) the copy of the Master Lease
attached hereto as Exhibit A is true, complete, and correct; (iv) the Master
Lease has not been modified or amended and constitutes the full and complete
agreement of the parties thereto relative to the subject matter thereof; (v)
(a) to the best of TFS’ knowledge, TFS is not in default under any of the
provisions of the Master Lease, and to the best of TFS’ knowledge, no event or
condition exists which with notice or the passage of time or

3

 

both, would
constitute a default by TFS under the Master Lease, and (b) TFS has received no
notice of any such default, event, or condition from Master Landlord which
remains uncured; (vi) TFS has received no written notice from any applicable
governmental authority of, or alleging any, violation of any applicable law or
regulation, including any environmental laws, with respect to the Sublet
Premises which remains uncured; (vii) TFS has given no written notices alleging
any default which remains uncured by the Master Landlord under the Master
Lease, or that any event has occurred which, with the passage of time, or the
giving of notice, or both, would constitute an uncured default by the Master
Landlord under the Master Lease, nor to the best of TFS’s knowledge, has any
event occurred which, with the passage of time, or the giving of notice, or
both, would constitute an uncured default by Master Landlord under the Master
Lease. TFS makes no other representations or warranties and hereby disclaims
same.

     7. MASTER LEASE.

          (a) All the rights and obligations of TFS contained in the Master Lease as
they relate to the Sublet Premises are hereby conferred and imposed upon
Brillian, except as expressly modified and amended by this Sublease. The
rights of TFS in Sections 9, 15, 16, 17, 24(g), and 24(l) of the Master Lease
are expressly not conferred upon Brillian and Brillian expressly acknowledges
that it shall not be entitled to any of the rights of TFS in Sections 9, 15,
16, 17, 24(g), and 24(l) of the Master Lease. Brillian covenants and agrees
fully and faithfully to perform the terms and conditions of the Master Lease as
they relate to the Sublet Premises and this Sublease on its part to be
performed, including, but not limited to, all maintenance and repair
obligations and all compliance with law obligations. Brillian shall not do or
cause to be done or suffer or permit any act to be done that would or might
cause the Master Lease, or the rights of TFS as tenant under the Master Lease,
to be endangered, canceled, terminated, forfeited, or surrendered, or that
would or might cause TFS to be in default thereunder or liable for any damage,
claim, or penalty. Brillian agrees, as an express inducement for TFS’s
executing this Sublease, that if there is any conflict between the provisions
of this Sublease and the provisions of the Master Lease that would permit
Brillian to do or cause to be done or suffer or permit any act or thing to be
done that is prohibited
by the Master Lease, then the provisions of the Master Lease shall
prevail. All rights, remedies, and indemnifications given to the Master
Landlord in the Master Lease are hereby given to TFS under this Sublease.

          (b) If any event occurs that would permit TFS to terminate the Master
Lease as it relates to the Sublet Premises, Brillian shall notify TFS of such
occurrence and of its recommendations immediately with regard to such
termination rights. TFS shall decide in its reasonable discretion whether or
not to terminate the Master Lease and shall give Brillian written notice of
such decision. If TFS elects to terminate the Master Lease as it relates to the
Sublet Premises, this Sublease shall terminate on the earlier of the date of
termination of the Master Lease or the date which is (30) days after Brillian’s
receipt of such written notice from TFS. In the event that TFS elects to
terminate the Master Lease prior to providing notice to the Master Landlord,
TFS must provide prior written notice to Brillian of its intent to terminate
this Sublease, and within five (5) days after the receipt of such notice from
TFS, Brillian may notify TFS in writing that it intends to continue possession
of the Sublet Premises under the terms and conditions of this Sublease, in
which case, TFS shall not exercise its right of termination under the Master
Lease as it relates to the Sublet Premises. In addition, TFS agrees that it
shall not exercise its one-time cancellation

4

 

option granted under the Second
Amendment to Lease as it relates to the Sublet Premises without the prior
written consent of Brillian.

          (c) TFS shall have no duty to perform any obligations of or provide any
services to be provided by the Master Landlord and shall under no circumstances
be responsible or liable to Brillian for any default, failure, or delay on the
part of the Master Landlord in the performance of any obligations under the
Master Lease, nor shall such default of the Master Landlord affect Brillian’s
obligations hereunder; provided, that in the event of any such default or
failure of performance by Master Landlord, TFS agrees, upon notice from
Brillian, to make demand upon Master Landlord to perform its obligations under
the Master Lease and to otherwise cooperate reasonably with Brillian as
Brillian may reasonably request, in enforcing the remedies provided in the
Master Lease.

     8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one of the following events
shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Sublease:

          (a) Brillian fails to pay Base Sublease Rent, Building Services Rent, MIS
Services Rent, Variable Services Rent, or any other sum of money when due under
this Sublease within three (3) business days after receipt by Brillian of
written notice from TFS that such amount is due; provided, however, that TFS
shall not be required to give more than two written notices in any twelve month
period;

          (b) Brillian assigns this Sublease or sublets all or a portion of the
Sublet Premises, or attempts to do the aforementioned, in violation of
Paragraph 20 hereof;

          (c) Brillian fails to perform any of its other obligations under this
Sublease or the Master Lease and such failure continues for ten (10) days after
the receipt by Brillian of written notice of default with respect to such
failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Brillian shall not be in
default under this Sublease with respect to any non-monetary breach (other
than those listed in subparagraph b above) that may be cured by the performance
of affirmative acts if Brillian promptly commences the performance of said
affirmative acts and diligently prosecutes the same to completion as soon as
possible, and in any event, within not more than the time period prescribed for
TFS to cure such default under the Master Lease. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in the foregoing, if Brillian fails to maintain the
insurance required in Paragraph 17 hereof, TFS may, in addition to any other
remedies herein contained, immediately upon such failure (but TFS shall not be
so obligated), at Brillian’s sole cost and expense, procure the insurance
coverage required herein, and if Brillian shall fail to reimburse TFS for the
costs and expenses it incurred in procuring such coverage, within fifteen (15)
days of notice from TFS, an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder.

     9. REMEDIES OF TFS. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, TFS shall
have all of the rights and remedies available under the Master Lease and at law
or in equity. All remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive.

5

 

     10. ACCESS TO SUBLET PREMISES. Except in the event of an emergency in
which case no notice shall be required, TFS or Master Landlord or any of their
respective agents, contractors, or employees may enter the Sublet Premises
during normal business hours upon 24 hours advance notice (except in the event
of an emergency), to inspect the Sublet Premises, or during the last six (6)
months of the term of this Sublease to show said property to persons seeking to
rent or purchase the Sublet Premises, or to make repairs or improvements to the
Sublet Premises. This paragraph is not to be construed as obligating TFS to
make any repairs.

     11. WAIVERS BY BRILLIAN; HOLDOVER.

          (a) Except for any notice expressly provided for in this Sublease,
Brillian waives to TFS the benefit of all laws now or hereafter in force, in
this state or elsewhere, requiring notice to vacate the Sublet Premises at the
end of the term or any extensions or renewals thereof. Brillian covenants and
agrees to give up quiet and peaceful possession without further notice from TFS
or its agent at the end of the term of this Sublease. Brillian also waives to
TFS the benefit of all laws now or hereafter in force, in this state or
elsewhere, exempting property from liability for rent, or for debt.

          (b) If Brillian shall not immediately surrender the Sublet Premises on the
day after the termination or expiration of the term of this Sublease, then
Brillian shall, by virtue of this Sublease, become a sublessee at the
sufferance of TFS at twice the immediately preceding Base Sublease Rent agreed
by Brillian to be paid as aforesaid, and Brillian shall be subject to all of
the other conditions and covenants of this Sublease.

     12. LATE PAYMENT. If Brillian shall fail to pay when the same is due and payable, Base
Sublease Rent, Building Services Rent, MIS Services Rent, Variable Services
Rent, or any other sums due under this Sublease, interest shall be charged on
all unpaid amounts at the amount of the late charge provided for in the Master
Lease.

     13. INDEMNITY. In addition to the indemnity provided for in the Master
Lease, Brillian shall indemnify and hold TFS and Master Landlord harmless from
and defend TFS and Master Landlord with counsel reasonably satisfactory to TFS
and Master Landlord against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages,
costs, and expenses, for any injury or damage to any person or property
whatsoever, occurring in, on, or about the Sublet Premises or other portions of
the Building or when such injury or damage shall be caused in part or in whole
by the neglect, fault, or omission of Brillian, its employees, invitees,
contractors, subcontractors, licensees, subtenants, or agents.

     TFS shall indemnify and hold Brillian harmless from and defend Brillian
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Brillian against any and all claims,
liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses caused by any representation
or warranty made by TFS in Paragraph 6 hereof being false or misleading, by any
default by TFS under the Master Lease, or by TFS’s exercise of its cancellation
rights under the Second Amendment to Lease as it relates to the Sublet
Premises.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall either party be liable
for consequential, indirect, or special damages to the other party.

6

 

     14. MASTER LEASE DEFAULTS. TFS will not cause or knowingly allow to be
caused any default under the Master Lease which shall remain uncured at the
expiration of the applicable cure period set forth therein, unless such default
arises out of a failure by Brillian to perform its obligations under this
Sublease. TFS will deliver to Brillian a copy of any notice of default by TFS
under the Master Lease within five (5) days after receipt thereof by TFS. In
addition, in the event TFS is in default under the Master Lease and such
default continues beyond the expiration of the applicable grace period set
forth therein (a “Master Lease Continuing Default”), Brillian shall thereafter
have the right (but not the obligation) to cure such Master Lease Continuing
Default, if Brillian’s cure of such Master Lease Continuing Default is
acceptable to Master Landlord and provided that Brillian gives TFS prior
written notice of such undertaking.

     15. RESTORATION. Brillian shall immediately prior to the expiration or
sooner termination of this Sublease, surrender the Sublet Premises in the
condition required under the Master Lease and otherwise in broom clean and good
condition, normal wear and tear excepted. In the event of termination of this
Sublease in any manner whatsoever, Brillian shall forthwith remove Brillian’s
goods and effects and those of any other persons claiming under Brillian or
subtenancies assigned to it, and quit and deliver the Sublet Premises to TFS
peaceably and quietly. Goods and effects not removed by Brillian on or before
the date of termination of this Sublease (or within forty-eight (48) hours
after a termination by reason of Brillian’s default) shall be considered
abandoned. TFS shall give Brillian notice of right to reclaim abandoned
property pursuant to applicable local law and may thereafter
dispose of the same as it deems expedient, including storage in a public
warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Brillian, but
Brillian shall promptly upon demand reimburse TFS for any expenses incurred by
TFS in connection therewith, which obligation shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Sublease.

     16. NOTICES. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and will be
effective upon receipt if delivered personally, or by nationally recognized
overnight courier service to a party’s address set forth below or to such other
address as either may give to the other in writing for such purpose:

     17. BRILLIAN’S INSURANCE.

          (a) Brillian shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain during the term
hereof all insurance coverages required to be maintained by the tenant under
the Master Lease. In addition to the above, Brillian shall also separately
maintain a $1 million insurance policy to cover catastrophic damage to the
building that results from Brillian’s use of the leasehold premises. This
policy will specifically name TFS as a beneficiary. Copies of all policies or
certificates evidencing

7

 

said insurance shall be delivered to TFS prior to the
Commencement Date and renewals thereof shall be delivered to TFS prior to the
expiration of any such policy. If Brillian fails to adhere to the requirements
of this Paragraph 16, TFS, in addition to any other remedies it may have, may
obtain such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Brillian, which amount
shall be payable by Brillian upon demand.

          (b) All insurance required to be carried by Brillian shall be issued in
the coverages and amounts required under the Master Lease by responsible
insurance companies, qualified to do business in the locality where the Sublet
Premises are located and reasonably acceptable to TFS and Master Landlord and
shall provide (i) that no change or cancellation of said policies shall be made
without thirty (30) days prior written notice to TFS and Brillian; (ii) that
any coverage of TFS or sum payable to TFS shall be unaffected by any act or
omission of Brillian or any other insured which might otherwise result in
forfeiture of said insurance; and (iii) that the insurance company issuing the
same shall not have any right of subrogation against TFS or TFS’s insurer. Each
policy and renewal shall name TFS, any mortgagee and Master Landlord as an
additional insured and, in the case of casualty insurance for other than
Brillian’s personal property, shall name TFS as loss payee. Copies of all
policies or certificates evidencing the existence and
amounts of said insurance shall be delivered to TFS by Brillian upon
request. Each policy shall also contain provisions required by any mortgagee of
the Sublet Premises or any portion thereof.

          (c) Copies of all policies or certificates evidencing said insurance shall
be delivered to TFS prior to the Commencement Date and renewals thereof shall
be delivered to TFS prior to the expiration of any such policy. If Brillian
fails to adhere to the requirements of this Paragraph 17, TFS, in addition to
any other remedies it may have, may order such insurance and charge the cost
thereof to Brillian, which amount shall be payable by Brillian upon demand.

          (d) Brillian hereby waives any and all rights of recovery against TFS and
its officers, employees, agents, and representatives for loss of or damage to
Brillian or its property or the property of others under its control, arising
from any cause insured or required to be insured against by Brillian,
irrespective of whether such loss or damage is caused by negligence of TFS or
any of its employees, invitees, contractors, subcontractors, licensees,
subtenants, or agents. Brillian shall obtain and furnish evidence to TFS of the
waiver by Brillian’s insurance carriers of any right of subrogation against
TFS.

     18. ALTERATIONS.

          (a) Brillian shall not make any building or leasehold alterations or
additions, including remodeling or signage, without first obtaining Master
Landlord’s and TFS’s consent, which TFS’s and Master Landlord’s consent may be
withheld in their sole discretion. If any such alterations or additions are
made, Brillian agrees not to permit any mechanics’ liens to be placed on the
Sublet Premises or any portion thereof and to cause any contract for work to be
done at the Sublet Premises to contain a waiver of the contractor’s right to
file a mechanics’ lien. Any alterations of any kind to the Sublet Premises or
any part thereof, except Brillian’s trade fixtures which can be removed without
damage or defacement to the Sublet Premises or any other portion of the
Building, shall be surrendered with the Sublet Premises, as a part thereof, at
the end of the Sublease Term; provided, however, that TFS may require at the
time TFS and Master Landlord consent to such alteration or fixture Brillian to
remove any alterations or fixtures made by Brillian,

8

 

and to repair any damage
to the Sublet Premises caused by such removal, all at Brillian’s sole expense.
Any alterations installed by Brillian shall be deemed a part of the Sublet
Premises and shall be maintained and repaired by Brillian in the same manner as
that required for all other portions of the Sublet Premises.

          (b) Brillian shall have the right to place a sign or signs on the façade
of the Building, provided, however: (i) TFS (and the Master Landlord to the
extent that such consent from the Master Landlord is required under the Master
Lease) shall have the right to consent to the size, style, and location of any
such signs, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (ii)
any such signs shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and
covenants, conditions, and restrictions of record; and (iii) TFS may require
that Brillian remove any such signs at the expiration of the Term and repair
any damage to the Building caused by such removal, all at Brillian’s sole
expense.

     19. CONDEMNATION. All compensation awarded or paid upon a total or partial taking of the
Sublet Premises shall belong to and be the property of TFS without any
participation by Brillian; provided, however, that nothing contained herein
shall be construed to preclude Brillian from prosecuting any claim directly
against the condemning authority in such condemnation proceedings for loss of
business, and/or depreciation to, damage to, and/or cost of removal of, and/or
for the value of stock and/or trade fixtures, furniture, and other personal
property belonging to Brillian; provided, however, that no such claim shall
diminish or otherwise adversely affect TFS’s and/or Master Landlord’s award or
the award(s) of any and all ground and underlying lessor(s) and mortgagee(s).

     20. ASSIGNMENT.

          (a) Without the written consent of TFS, which consent may be withheld in
TFS’s sole discretion, and the consent of Master Landlord, Brillian shall not
by operation of law or otherwise, assign or mortgage this Sublease, or sublet
or license the whole or any part of the Sublet Premises or permit the Sublet
Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Brillian may, upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to TFS
but without TFS’s consent, assign or sublet all or any portion of the Sublet
Premises to (i) any entity controlled by or under common control with Brillian,
or (ii) any successor to Brillian by merger or acquisition of all or
substantially of Brillian’s assets or the transferee of more than fifty percent
(50%) of Brillian’s capital stock, provided that in each case (i) the proposed
assignee or Brillian has a net worth greater than or equal to the greater of
(a) Brillian’s net worth on the date of this Sublease, or (b) Brillian’s net
worth on the date of such assignment or sublease, and (ii) Brillian obtains the
prior written consent of the Master Landlord to such assignment or subletting.

          (b) Regardless of TFS’s consent, no subletting or assignment shall release
or alter Brillian’s primary liability to pay Base Sublease Rent, Building
Services Rent, MIS Services Rent, Variable Services Rent, and to perform all
other obligations to be performed by Brillian hereunder. Upon a default
hereunder by any assignee or sublessee of Brillian, TFS may proceed directly
against Brillian without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such
assignee or sublessee. TFS may consent to any subsequent assignment or
subletting of this Sublease and such action shall not relieve Brillian of
liability under this Sublease.

9

 

          (c) Each permitted assignee or transferee shall assume and be deemed to
have assumed this Sublease and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally
with Brillian for the payment of the Base Sublease Rent, Building Services
Rent, MIS Services Rent, Variable Services Rent, and for the due performance of
all of the provisions, covenants, conditions, and agreements herein contained
on Brillian’s part to be performed for the term of this Sublease. No otherwise
permitted assignment or transfer shall be binding on TFS unless such assignee
or transferee shall deliver to TFS a counterpart of such assignment and an
instrument in recordable form which contains a covenant of assumption by the
assignee or transferee, but the failure or refusal of the assignee or
transferee to execute such instrument of assumption shall not release or
discharge the assignee or transferee from its liability as set forth above.

          (d) Any consent by TFS or Master Landlord to any act of assignment or
subletting shall be held to apply only to the specific assignment or subletting
thereby authorized.
Such consent shall not be construed as a waiver of the duty of Brillian,
or the legal representatives or assigns of Brillian, to obtain from TFS or
Master Landlord consent to any other or subsequent assignment or subletting, or
as modifying or limiting the rights of TFS or Master Landlord under the
foregoing covenant by Brillian not to assign or sublet without consent.

          (e) If this Sublease is assigned or transferred, or if the Sublet Premises
or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by any person other than Brillian,
or if an Event of Default has occurred hereunder, TFS may collect rent from the
successor occupant and apply the net amount collected by it to the rent herein
reserved. No such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the prohibition
against assignment, sublets, and other transfers, or the acceptance of the
successor occupant as tenant, or a release of Brillian from the further
performance of the covenants herein contained on the part of Brillian.

          (f) TFS may freely assign this Sublease at any time without consent or
notice to Brillian provided that the assignee assumes all of the liabilities
and obligations of TFS under this Sublease.

     21. NO BROKER. Brillian covenants, warrants, and represents that there
was no broker involved in consummating this Sublease, and that no conversations
or prior negotiations were had with any broker concerning the renting of the
Sublet Premises. Brillian and TFS agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the
other party harmless against any claims for brokerage commission arising out of
any conversations or negotiations had by the indemnifying party with any
broker.

     22. LIABILITY OF TFS. TFS shall not be liable for any injury or damage to
any person or to any property at any time on the Sublet Premises from any cause
whatsoever that may at any time exist from the use or condition of said Sublet
Premises or Building, or from failure of water supply or electric current or
from steam, electricity, water, gas, or rain which leak or flow from or into
any part of the Sublet Premises, or from breakage, leakage, obstruction or from
difficulties to the pipes, lines, appliances, plumbing, or lighting fixtures,
awnings, or signs in or upon the Sublet Premises, or from any other cause,
during the term of this Sublease or any renewal or extension hereof except to
the extent solely caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of
TFS or its agents.

10

 

     23. EFFECT. This Sublease shall be binding upon the parties hereto, their
successors and permitted assigns, and may not be altered, amended, terminated,
or modified except by written instrument executed by each of the parties
hereto.

     24. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. If the Sublet Premises shall be partially
damaged by fire or other cause, repairs shall be in accordance with the terms
of the Master Lease which shall also determine to what extent, if any, the rent
shall be abated. If the Sublet Premises shall be totally destroyed by fire or
other cause at any time prior to the end of the term of this Sublease, Brillian
agrees to be bound by Master
Landlord’s decision made in accordance with the applicable terms of the
Master Lease, if any, as to whether or not the Sublet Premises is to be
restored and whether or not the Master Lease shall remain in effect. Brillian’s
obligation to pay rent under the Sublease shall be governed by the terms of the
Master Lease, if any, applicable to abatement of TFS’s rental under the Master
Lease as it relates to the Sublet Premises.

     25. NOTICE. Brillian shall notify TFS of any damage to the Sublet
Premises by fire or other casualty and also of any dangerous or defective
condition within the Sublet Premises immediately upon the occurrence of such
fire or other casualty or discovery of such condition. Except as affected by
the giving or failure to give such notice, nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to limit or enlarge the respective rights and liabilities of either
party arising from the negligent acts or conduct of the other.

     26. RELATIONSHIP. It is understood, covenanted, and agreed between the
parties hereto that nothing in this Sublease shall constitute TFS an employer,
employee, principal, agent, or partner of Brillian and the relationship hereby
created between the parties hereto shall be strictly and solely that of
sublessor and sublessee.

     27. WAIVERS. No waiver of any covenant or condition by TFS shall be
construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same or any other covenant
or condition, and the consent or approval by TFS to or of any act by Brillian
requiring TFS’s consent or approval shall not be construed to waive or render
unnecessary TFS’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act by
Brillian.

     28. FORUM. This Sublease shall be governed by the laws of the state of
Arizona.

     29. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; AUTHORITY. If two or more individuals,
corporations, partnerships, or other business associations (or any combination
of two or more thereof) shall sign this Sublease as sublessor, the liability of
each such individual, corporation, partnership, or other business association
to pay rent and perform all other obligations hereunder shall be deemed to be
joint and several, and all notices, payments, and agreements given or made by,
with, or to any one of such individuals, corporations, partnerships, or other
business associations shall be deemed to have been given or made by, with, or
to all of them. In like manner, if sublessor shall be a partnership or other
business association, the members of which are, by virtue of statute or federal
law, subject to personal liability, the liability of each such member shall be
joint and several.

11

 

     30. NO OPTION; CONSENT OF MASTER LANDLORD. This Sublease shall become
effective only upon execution and delivery thereof by both parties and upon
Master Landlord’s written consent to the terms of this Sublease in
substantially the form of consent attached hereto as Exhibit G and made a part
hereof. TFS shall use best efforts to obtain Master Landlord’s written
consent; provided that in no event shall TFS be obligated to commence any legal
proceeding to obtain or attempt to obtain Master Landlord’s consent.

     31. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither Brillian nor TFS shall be deemed in default
under this Sublease (excluding, however, monetary defaults) to the extent that
any such failure stems from a cause beyond the reasonable control of the
respective party, including, without limitation, any act of God, war,
insurrection, applicable governmental or judicial law or regulation, zoning
ordinance, labor strike, order, or decree.

     32. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN TFS AND
BRILLIAN THAT THE RESPECTIVE PARTIES HERETO SHALL AND DO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE
PARTIES HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER (EXCEPT FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE) ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH
THIS SUBLEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF TFS AND BRILLIAN, AND BRILLIAN’S USE OR
OCCUPANCY OF SAID SUBLET PREMISES.

     33. TFS’S PURCHASE OF BUILDING. Brillian expressly acknowledges that TFS
has the right pursuant to Sections 15 and 16 of the Master Lease to purchase
the Building. In the event TFS purchases the Building, which event shall be
evidenced by a written notice of such purchase from TFS to Brillian, then in
such event this Sublease shall be deemed a prime lease by and between TFS, as
owner of the Building, and Brillian, as tenant of the Sublet Premises.

     34. GROUND SUBLEASE.

          (a) Brillian hereby expressly acknowledges that the Sublease of the Sublet
Premises is subject to the terms and conditions of the Ground Sublease.

          (b) All the obligations of TFS contained in the Ground Sublease as they
relate to the Sublet Premises are hereby conferred and imposed upon Brillian,
except as expressly modified and amended by this Sublease. Brillian covenants
and agrees fully and faithfully to perform the terms and conditions of the
Ground Sublease as they relate to the Sublet Premises and this Sublease on its
part to be performed, including, but not limited to, all maintenance and repair
obligations and all compliance with law obligations. Brillian shall not do or
cause to be done or suffer or permit
any act to be done that would or might cause the Ground Sublease, or the
rights of TFS as tenant under the Ground Sublease, to be endangered, canceled,
terminated, forfeited, or surrendered, or that would or might cause TFS to be
in default thereunder or liable for any damage, claim, or penalty. Brillian
agrees, as an express inducement for TFS’s executing this Sublease, that if
there is any conflict between the provisions of this Sublease and the
provisions of the Ground Sublease that would permit Brillian to do or cause to
be done or suffer or permit any act or thing to be done that is prohibited by
the Ground Sublease, then the provisions of the Ground Sublease shall prevail.
All

12

 

rights, remedies, and indemnifications given to the Ground Lessor in the
Ground Sublease are hereby given to TFS under this Sublease.

          (c) If any event occurs that would permit TFS to terminate the Ground
Sublease as it relates to the Sublet Premises, Brillian shall notify TFS of
such occurrence and of its recommendations immediately with regard to such
termination rights. TFS shall decide in its reasonable discretion whether or
not to terminate the Ground Sublease and shall give Brillian written notice of
such decision. If TFS elects to terminate the Ground Sublease as it relates to
the Sublet Premises, this Sublease shall terminate on the earlier of the date
of termination of the Ground Sublease or the date which is (30) days after
Brillian’s receipt of such written notice from TFS. In the event that TFS
elects to terminate the Ground Sublease prior to providing notice to the Ground
Lessor, TFS must provide prior written notice to Brillian of its intent to
terminate this Sublease, and within five (5) days after the receipt of such
notice from TFS, Brillian may notify TFS in writing that it intends to continue
possession of the Sublet Premises under the terms and conditions of this
Sublease, in which case, TFS shall not exercise its right of termination under
the Ground Sublease as it relates to the Sublet Premises.

          (d) TFS shall have no duty to perform any obligations of or provide any
services to be provided by the Ground Lessor and shall under no circumstances
be responsible or liable to Brillian for any default, failure, or delay on the
part of the Ground Lessor in the performance of any obligations under the
Ground Sublease, nor shall such default of the Ground Lessor affect Brillian’s
obligations hereunder; provided, that in the event of any such default or
failure of performance by Ground Lessor, TFS agrees, upon notice from Brillian,
to make demand upon Ground Lessor to perform its obligations under the Ground
Sublease and to otherwise cooperate reasonably with Brillian as Brillian may
reasonably request, in enforcing the remedies provided in the Ground Sublease.

          (e) TFS will not cause or knowingly allow to be caused any default under
the Ground Sublease which shall remain uncured at the expiration of the
applicable cure period set forth therein, unless such default arises out of a
failure by Brillian to perform its obligations under this Sublease. TFS will
deliver to Brillian a copy of any notice of default by TFS under the Ground
Sublease within five (5) days after receipt thereof by TFS. In addition, in the
event TFS is in default under the Ground Sublease and such default continues
beyond the expiration of the applicable grace period set forth therein (a
“Ground Sublease Continuing Default”), Brillian shall thereafter have the right
(but not the obligation) to cure such Ground Sublease Continuing Default, if
Brillian’s cure of such Ground Sublease Continuing Default is acceptable to
Ground Lessor and provided that Brillian gives TFS prior written notice of such
undertaking.

          (f) TFS shall use its best efforts to obtain Ground Lessor’s written
consent to this Sublease substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto
in order that Brillian have the
protections of Article 16 of the Ground Sublease as a “Permitted Sublease”
(as such term is defined in Section 17.2 of the Ground Sublease); provided,
that in no event shall TFS be obligated to commence any legal proceeding to
obtain or attempt to obtain Ground Lessor’s consent. Furthermore, Brillian
expressly acknowledges that TFS has the right pursuant to Section 3.3 of the
Ground Sublease to purchase the Land, in which event the Master Ground Lease
(as such term is defined in the Ground Sublease) shall be amended to delete the
Land as of the closing of such purchase, as more fully set forth in Section
3.3(B)(3) of the Ground Sublease. In the event TFS

13

 

purchases the Land, which
event shall be evidenced by a written notice of such purchase from TFS to
Brillian, then in such event this Sublease shall be deemed a prime lease by and
between TFS, as owner of the Land, and Brillian, as tenant of the Sublet
Premises.
