obligations of such position, including any fiduciary obligations. 

        Section
3.    Guarantee of Revolver A; Replacement Guarantee.

subsidiaries, successors and assignees under Revolver A for a period beginning at the Effective Time and ending on the earliest to occur of (a) the date that is twelve (12) months from
the 

4

 

Effective
Time and (b) the date upon which Parent has secured an equity financing with gross proceeds to Parent in an amount equal to at least Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) (the
"Initial Guarantee Period"); provided, however, that the Initial Guarantee Period shall be extended (the
"Guarantee Extension") for one additional period of up to nine (9) months from the expiration of the Initial Guarantee Period (the
"Guarantee Extension Period") upon a written request made by Parent to VPVP; provided, however, that
(i) Parent must make such Guarantee Extension request in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Guarantee Period; (ii) Parent shall have made
commercially reasonable efforts to secure the equity financing referred to above prior to requesting the Guarantee Extension and (iii) the Guarantee Extension shall provide Parent with

of the balance outstanding under Revolver A; provided, however, that the Guarantee Extension shall not be available to Parent to cover less than Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and shall only be available in whole Five Million Dollar ($5,000,000) increments thereafter. 

        3.2   Replacement Guarantee.    In the event that Revolver A is terminated by the Lender after the date of this
Agreement but prior to the expiration of the Initial Guarantee Period (or, if the Initial Guarantee Period is extended prior to such termination, prior to the expiration of the Guarantee Extension
Period) and Parent is able to secure a replacement credit facility either from the Lender or another third-party lender on commercially reasonable terms, including an interest rate that, taking into
account the assumption that VPVP will guarantee the obligations of the borrowers under such replacement credit facility, does not exceed the sum of the prime rate (as reported in  The Wall Street Journal
on the date of the closing of such replacement credit facility) plus 3.5% (any such replacement credit facility, a
"Replacement Facility"), VPVP shall guarantee all of the obligations of Parent, Aviza and their respective subsidiaries, successors and assignees under
the Replacement Facility (the "Replacement Guarantee"); provided, however, that VPVP shall not be
obligated to guarantee in excess of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) in aggregate principal amount of borrowings under the Replacement Facility pursuant to the Replacement Guarantee. The
Replacement Guarantee shall have a term equal to the remaining term of the Initial Guarantee Period or the Guarantee Extension Period, as applicable; and provided
further, that if Parent enters into the Replacement Facility during the Initial Guarantee Period, Parent shall have the right to request the Guarantee Extension with respect to
the Replacement Facility pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1 hereof. 

        Section
4.    Conversion of Aviza Series B-1 Preferred Stock By VPVP.    If during the twelve (12) months
following the Effective Time, Parent has not consummated an equity financing with gross proceeds to Parent in an amount equal to at least Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000), then VPVP hereby agrees,
upon the written request of Parent, to participate in a private placement of New Athletics capital stock in which one or more investors that are not affiliated with New Athletics purchase at least Ten
Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of New Athletics capital stock pursuant to definitive agreements negotiated by such investors (the "Equity Investment") by
converting all shares (or such lesser number of shares as requested by Parent) of Aviza Series B Preferred Stock and Aviza Series B-1 Preferred Stock then held by VPVP into
shares of New Athletics capital stock issued in the Equity Investment in accordance with the terms of Section B(4) of Article IV of Aviza's Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation. VPVP's participation in the Equity Investment shall otherwise be on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the definitive agreements negotiated by such investors. 

        Section
5.    Issuance of Warrants. 

        5.1   Initial Warrants.    In consideration of VPVP's obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof (other than
VPVP's obligation to provide the Guarantee Extension under Section 3.1 hereof if so requested by Parent pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1 hereof), Parent shall, at the Effective Time,
issue VPVP 

5

 

the
Initial Warrant or Initial Warrants, such issuance to be allocated among the VPVP affiliates in the manner set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. 

        5.2   Subsequent Warrants.    In consideration of VPVP's obligation to provide the Guarantee Extension under
Section 3.1 hereof if so requested by Parent pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1 hereof, Parent shall, upon Parent's receipt of the Guarantee Extension from VPVP, issue VPVP the
Subsequent Warrant or Subsequent Warrants, such issuance to be allocated among the VPVP affiliates in the manner set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. The
aggregate number of shares of New Athletics Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Subsequent Warrant or Subsequent Warrants shall be equal to the product of (x) the product of
(i) 1,000,000 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange or similar transaction with respect to New Athletics Common
Stock after the Effective Time) multiplied by (ii) the Trikon Exchange Ratio multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the dollar amount of the balance outstanding under Revolver A that is covered by the Guarantee Extension and the denominator of which is $20,000,000. The exercise price of the Subsequent
Warrant or Subsequent Warrants shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (y) $9.00 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split,
combination, exchange or similar transaction with respect to New Athletics Common Stock after the Effective Time) by (z) the Trikon Exchange Ratio. 

        Section

        (g)   advise
VPVP, within two (2) Business Days by e-mail, fax or other type of communication, and, if requested by VPVP, confirm such advice in writing:

Period"). 

        (c)   In
the event that VPVP elects to receive Liquidated Damages Payments in the form of New Athletics Common Stock, and such payments would result in the issuance of shares

contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 6.1 hereof or in accordance with the Act, and that it shall promptly notify Parent of any changes in the information set forth
in the Registration Statement regarding VPVP or its plan of distribution. VPVP further agrees that it shall not effect a Disposition of any Securities during the fifteen- (15)-trading-day
period prior to and ending on the date of the execution of the definitive agreements executed in connection with the Equity Investment. 

        (b)   Except
in the event that Section 6.3(c) hereof applies, Parent shall, at all times during the Registration Period, promptly (i) prepare and file from time
to time with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by
reference or file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Shares being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii) provide VPVP copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(i) hereof and (iii) inform VPVP that Parent has complied with its obligations in
Section 6.3(b)(i) hereof (or that, if Parent has filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement that has not yet been declared effective, Parent shall notify
VPVP to that effect, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as promptly as possible and shall promptly notify VPVP
pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(iii) hereof when the amendment has become effective). 

8

  

        (c)   Subject
to Section 6.3(d) hereof, in the event of (i) any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of
effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) the issuance by the SEC or any
other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) the receipt
by Parent of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose or (iv) any event or circumstance that necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then Parent shall deliver a notice in
writing to VPVP (the "Suspension Notice") to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, VPVP shall refrain from selling
any Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (a "Suspension") until VPVP's receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus
prepared and filed by Parent, or until it is advised in writing by Parent that the current Prospectus may be used. In the event of any Suspension, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts,
consistent with the best interests of Parent and its stockholders, to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable after the delivery of a Suspension
Notice to VPVP. 

        (d)   In
the event VPVP is prohibited from selling Registrable Shares under the Registration Statement as a result of Suspensions on more than two (2) occasions of more
than forty-five (45) days each in any twelve- (12)-month period, Parent shall pay to VPVP liquidated damages in an amount equal to 1.0% of the total aggregate purchase price of the
Registrable Shares registered on such Registration Statement then held by VPVP if, as a result of such Suspensions, VPVP is prohibited from selling Registrable Shares under such Registration Statement
for a period that exceeds sixty (60) consecutive days or one hundred twenty (120) days in the aggregate in any twelve- (12)-month period and for each thirty- (30)-day period
thereafter during which such prohibition continues; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent be obligated to pay more than 1.0% of the total
aggregate purchase price of the Registrable Shares registered on such Registration Statement then held by VPVP in any thirty- (30)-day period. 

        (e)   In
the event of a sale of Registrable Shares by VPVP under the Registration Statement, VPVP must also deliver to Parent's transfer agent, with a copy to Parent, a
Certificate of Subsequent Sale substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, so that the Registrable Shares may be properly transferred. 

        6.4   Indemnification.    For the purpose of this Section 6.4, the term "Registration
Statement" shall include the Prospectus, any preliminary or final prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to the Registration Statement referred to
in Section 6.1 hereof, and the term "Rules and Regulations" shall mean the rules and regulations promulgated under the Act. 

        (a)   Indemnification by Parent.    Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless VPVP and each Person, if any, who
controls VPVP within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which VPVP or such controlling person may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act,
or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are
based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus, 

9

 

financial
statements and schedules, and all other documents filed as a part thereof, as amended at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including any information deemed to be a
part thereof as of the time of effectiveness pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A, or pursuant to Rule 434 of the Rules and Regulations, or the Prospectus, in the form first
filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations, or filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required
(the "Prospectus"), or any amendment or supplement thereto; (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any of them a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any of them, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) any failure of Parent to
perform its obligations under this Agreement, and shall reimburse VPVP and each such controlling Person for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by VPVP or such
controlling Person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided,
however, that Parent shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or
Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Parent by or on behalf of VPVP expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or (ii) the
failure of VPVP to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 6.3 hereof respecting resale of Registrable Shares or (iii) any untrue statement or omission of a
material fact in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to VPVP before the pertinent sale or sales by VPVP. 

        (b)   Indemnification by VPVP.    VPVP agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Parent, each of its directors, each of
its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls Parent within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which
Parent, each of its directors, each of its officers who sign the Registration Statement or controlling Person may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state
statutory law or regulation insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure
on the part of VPVP to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 6.3 hereof respecting the sale of the Registrable Shares or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to
the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Parent by or on behalf of VPVP expressly for use therein; provided,
however, that VPVP shall not be liable for any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of which VPVP has delivered to Parent in writing a
correction at least five (5) Business Days before the occurrence of the transaction from which such loss was incurred, and VPVP shall reimburse Parent, each of its directors, each of its
officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by Parent, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the
Registration Statement or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action for which such
person is entitled to be indemnified in accordance with this Section 6.4(b). 

10

 

        (c)   Indemnification Procedure.

          (i)  Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6.4 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 6.4, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim; but the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.4
except to the extent it is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. 

         (ii)  In
case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof;  provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be
legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to
the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on
behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action, the indemnifying
party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6.4 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof
unless: 

        (1)   the
indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it
being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) separate counsel, approved by such indemnifying party representing all of the
indemnified parties who are parties to such action); or 

        (2)   the
indemnifying party shall not have counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice
of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 6.4, (A) with respect to claims made pursuant to clause (i) of Section 6.4(b) hereof, VPVP shall not be liable for any indemnification obligation under this
Agreement in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by VPVP from the sale of the Registrable Shares and (B) with respect to claims made pursuant to clause (ii) of
Section 6.4(b) hereof, VPVP shall not be liable for any indemnification obligation under this Agreement in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by VPVP from the sale of the Registrable
Shares giving rise to such liability. 

        (d)   Contribution. 

          (i)  If
a claim for indemnification under this Section 6.4 is unavailable to an indemnified party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
referred to in this Agreement, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party in connection with the actions, statements or
omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses as well as any 

11

 

other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question,
including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such
indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or
payable by a party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.4, any reasonable
attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the
indemnification provided for in this Section 6.4 was available to such party in accordance with its terms. 

         (ii)  The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any
other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.4,
(A) with respect to claims made pursuant to clause (i) of Section 6.4(b) hereof, VPVP shall not be liable to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of net proceeds received
by VPVP from the sale of the Registrable Shares and (B) with respect to claims made pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 6.4(b) hereof, VPVP shall not be liable to contribute any
amount in excess of (x) the amount by which the net proceeds received by VPVP from the sale of the Registrable Shares giving rise to such liability exceeds (y) the amount of any damages
that VPVP has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No party to this Agreement guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any other party to this Agreement who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

        6.5   Termination of Conditions and Obligations.    The restrictions imposed by Section 6.3 hereof upon the
transferability of the Registrable Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of Registrable Shares upon the passage of two (2) years from the Measure Date or at such time as
an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to Parent shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Act. 

        6.6   Rule 144.    For a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the last day of the Registration
Period, Parent agrees with VPVP to: 

        (a)   comply
with the requirements of Rule 144(c) under the Act with respect to current public information about Parent; and 

        (b)   file
with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Parent under the Act and the Exchange Act (at any time it is subject to such reporting
requirements). 

        Section
7.    Miscellaneous. 

        7.1   Legends. 

        (a)   In
addition to any legends required by law, until the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of this Agreement and (ii) such time as all VPVP Shares have
been sold pursuant to (A) an effective registration or (B) pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, the certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear the
following legends: 

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON VOTING AND TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A  

12

 

 STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENT. A COPY OF SUCH STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY UPON REQUEST."

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR IN THE EVENT THAT NEW ATHLETICS, INC. (THE "COMPANY") SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION FROM COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT
REQUIRED."

        (b)   In
addition to any legends required by law or the Affiliate Agreement entered into between Parent and VPVP pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Merger
Shares shall bear the following legends: 

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON VOTING AND TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENT. A COPY OF SUCH STOCKHOLDER
AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY UPON REQUEST."

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE HELD BY A PERSON WHO MAY BE DEEMED TO BE AN AFFILIATE OF THE ISSUER FOR PURPOSES OF RULE 145 PROMULGATED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND MAY BE SOLD ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 145, PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A
VALID EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT."

        7.2   Amendments and Waivers.    The terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this
sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers of or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless (x) approved in writing by Parent and
(i) prior to the Effective Time, Trikon and (ii) after the Effective Time, a majority of the Trikon Designees then serving on the Parent Board and (y) Parent has obtained the
written consent of VPVP. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach and no failure
by any party to exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of such party's rights or privileges hereunder or shall be deemed a waiver of such party's rights to exercise the
same at any subsequent time or times hereunder. 

        7.3   Specific Performance, Etc.    Parent, Trikon and VPVP, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
provided herein, in the New Athletics Certificate or granted by law, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Parent, Trikon and
VPVP agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. 

13

 

        7.4   No Third-Party Beneficiaries.    This Agreement is not intended to be for the benefit of, and shall not be
enforceable by, any person or entity who or which is not a party hereto. 

        7.5   Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal law of the
State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Delaware. 

        7.6   Interpretation.    The headings of the sections contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of
reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 

        7.7   Notices.    All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) postage prepaid to the parties at the following addresses (or at such

dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like occurring after the date hereof. 

        7.9   Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, by the original parties

        7.10   Effectiveness of Agreement; Termination.    Except for the terms and provisions set forth in
Sections 2.1 and 7 hereof, which shall be effective as of the date hereof, no term or provision of this Agreement shall become effective until the Effective Time. This Agreement shall terminate
in its entirety and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement and (ii) the date upon which the rights and obligations of
all of the parties hereto have either been discharged or have expired pursuant to their terms. 

        7.11   Arbitration.

        (a)   The
parties hereto agree that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or breach thereof
("Dispute"), shall be subject to a mandatory period of thirty (30) days during which the parties shall (i) each appoint a representative
(each a "Representative" and collectively, the "Representatives") and (ii) the Representatives
shall meet in a timely manner for the purpose of attempting to resolve the Dispute. The Representatives shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute without resort to formal proceedings.
During the course of such negotiations, the parties shall comply with all reasonable requests for access to relevant information. Formal proceedings for the arbitration of such Dispute may not be
commenced until the expiration of the foregoing mandatory thirty- (30)-day period. Both parties shall continue to 

15

 

perform
their respective obligations hereunder during the negotiations by Representatives attempting to resolve the Dispute. 

        (b)   Following

rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 

        (c)   The
parties agree to the arbitration of the Dispute by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association. 

        (d)   The

        (f)    The
parties hereby agree that, notwithstanding the fact that applicable law may not provide for the award of attorneys' fees and costs and/or otherwise grant the
arbitrator the discretion to award such fees and costs, pursuant to this Agreement, the arbitrator may, in his or her reasonable discretion, award payment of attorneys' fees and costs by a party as a
part of the arbitration award rendered by the arbitrator. 

        7.12   Attorneys' Fees.    In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any provision of this
Agreement, or where any provision hereof is validly asserted as a defense, the successful party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees in addition to any other available remedy.

Section 2(d), the Company shall, within three Business Days after receipt
of the Exercise Delivery Documents, issue and deliver to the address
specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate or certificates in such

Exercise Price.

 

(c)  Unless the rights represented by this Warrant
shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall,

Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this
Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant
is exercised.

Warrant to the contrary, this Warrant cannot be exercised, either in whole or
in part, except by a holder who, at the time of exercise, is an “accredited
investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D
under the Securities Act.

 

(e)  Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Warrant to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue fractions
of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant or to distribute
certificates evidencing such fractional shares. 
If more than one Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the
same time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock shall
be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable on exercise of all
Warrants so presented.  In lieu of any
fractional shares, there shall be paid to the holder an amount of cash equal to
the same fraction of the current market value of a share of Common Stock.  For purposes of this Section 2(e), the
current market value of a share of Common Stock shall be the Trading Price of a
share of Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of such
exercise.

 

Section 3.  Date; Duration; Automatic
Exercise.

 

(a)  The issue date of this Warrant is [               ,

(b)  This Warrant, in all events, shall be wholly
void and of no effect at 5:00 pm Pacific Time on the Expiration Date.

 

(c)  If as of the Expiration Date, all or part of
this Warrant has not been exercised by the holder, and (i) the Trading
Price of one share of Common Stock is, as of the exercise date, greater than
the Exercise Price and (ii) the condition set forth in Section 2(d) can
be satisfied, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to
the holder’s Net Exercise Right without any further action by the holder (an “Automatic Exercise”). 
No later than the third Business day after the Expiration Date the
Company shall deliver to the holder a stock certificate or stock certificates
for the number of fully paid and non assessable shares of Common Stock, if any,
issuable pursuant to an Automatic Exercise.

 

Section 4.  Taxes.

 

(a)  The Company shall pay any and all
documentary, stamp, transfer and other similar taxes that may be payable with
respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this
Warrant.

 

(b)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Warrant, for income tax purposes, the holder or any assignee or transferee
shall agree that the Company and the Transfer Agent shall be permitted to
withhold from any amounts payable to such assignee or transferee any taxes
required by law to be withheld from such amounts.  Unless exempt from the obligation to do so,
each assignee or transferee shall execute and deliver to the Company or the
Transfer Agent, as applicable, a properly completed Form W-8 or W-9,
indicating that such assignee or transferee is not subject to back-up
withholding for United States federal income tax purposes.  Each assignee or transferee that does not

 

5

 

deliver such a form pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall have the burden of proving to the Company’s
reasonable satisfaction that it is exempt from such requirement.

 

(c)  The issuance of certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to
the holder of this Warrant for any issue tax in respect thereof; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may
be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of
any certificate in a name other than that of the holder hereof, and the Company
shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates or other securities
unless and until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall
have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to
the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

Section 5.  Warrant Holder Not Deemed a
Stockholder.  Except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, prior to the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby, the
holder of this Warrant shall not be entitled, as such, to any rights of a
stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or
to consent to any action of the stockholders of the Company, to receive
dividends or other distributions, to exercise any preemptive right or to
receive any notice of meetings of stockholders of the Company, and shall not be
entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company.  In addition, nothing contained in this
Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such holder to
purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a
stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the
Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

Section 6.  Compliance with Securities Laws.

 

(a)  The holder of this Warrant, by the acceptance
hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and the
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant for its own account for
investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with,
the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or
exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by
making the representations herein, the holder does not agree to hold this
Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and
reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any
time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption
under the Securities Act.  The holder of
this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date,
such holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act and was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the
Warrants or Warrant Shares.

 

(b)  The holder of this Warrant understands that,
until the end of the holding period under Rule 144(k) of the Securities
Act (or any successor provision) this Warrant (and all securities issued in
exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, other than Warrant Shares, which
shall bear the legend set forth in Section 6(c) of this Warrant, if
applicable) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR NEW ATHLETICS, INC. (THE “COMPANY”)
SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION FROM COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER
THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the
Company shall issue a new certificate evidencing a new Warrant of like tenor
and aggregate number of shares and which shall not bear the restrictive legends
required by this Section 6(b): (i) if, in connection with a sale transaction,
such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Company to the effect that a public sale, assignment, pledge
or transfer of the Warrant, as appropriate, may be made without registration
under the Securities Act, or (ii) upon expiration of the two-year holding
period under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act (or any successor rule); provided
that the holder of the Warrant is not and has not been within three months
prior to such date, an “affiliate” of the Company (as such term is defined in Rule 144
of the Securities Act) (in which event such holding period shall be deemed to
have expired when such holder has not been an “affiliate” of the Company for
the preceding three-month period) .  The
Company shall not require such opinion of counsel for the sale of Warrants in
accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act in the event that the
holder provides such representations that the Company shall reasonably request
confirming compliance with the requirements of Rule 144.

 

(c)  Subject to the terms of this clause (c), any
certificate representing the Warrant Shares shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR

FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR NEW ATHLETICS, INC. (THE “COMPANY”)
SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION FROM COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER
THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

The legend set forth above
shall be removed and the Company shall issue the Warrant Shares without such
legend to the holder of the Warrant Shares upon which it is stamped, (i) if
the Warrant Shares have been resold or transferred pursuant to a registration
statement that was effective at the time of such transfer, (ii) if, in
connection with a sale transaction, such holder provides the Company with an
opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that a
public sale, assignment, pledge or transfer of the Warrant Shares may be made
without registration under the Securities Act, or (iii) upon expiration of
the applicable two-year holding period under Rule 144(k) of the Securities
Act (or any successor rule); provided  that the holder of the
Warrant Shares is not and has not been within three months prior to such date,
an “affiliate” of the Company (as such term
is defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act) (in which event such holding
period shall be deemed to have expired when such holder has not been an “affiliate”
of the Company for the preceding three-month period).  The Company shall not require such opinion of
counsel for the sale of the Warrant Shares in accordance with Rule 144 of
the Securities Act, provided that the holder provides such representations that
the Company shall reasonably request confirming compliance with the
requirements of Rule 144. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing, and upon
presentation by the holder to the Transfer Agent of a completed Certificate of
Subsequent Sale (in substantially the form attached to the Stockholder
Agreement as Exhibit C), the Company shall irrevocably instruct the
Transfer Agent to re-issue a stock certificate representing the number of
shares sold without the legend set forth above.

 

Section 7.  Ownership and Transfer.

 

(a)  The Company shall maintain at its principal
office designated on the first page of this Agreement or such other office
or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof
(provided that such other designated office shall be located in the United
States) (a “Designated Office”), a
register for this Warrant (the “Warrant
Register”), in which the Company shall record the name and address
of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued.  Upon the transfer of any Warrants in
accordance with the provisions of clause (b) below, the Company shall
record the name and address of such new holder(s) as well as the name and
address of each transferee.  The Company
may treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the Warrant
Register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any
notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant.

 

(b)  This Warrant and all rights hereunder shall
be assignable and transferable by the holder hereof to a Permitted Transferee
upon surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form
of Exhibit B hereto) at the
Company’s Designated Office.  For the
purposes of this Warrant, a “Permitted
Transferee” shall mean any person who (a) is an “accredited
investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D
under the Securities Act and (b) delivers to the Company his, her or its
written agreement to accept and be bound by all of the terms and conditions
contained in this Warrant.

Section 8.  Adjustment of Exercise Price and
Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise.

 

The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment from time
to time upon the occurrence of the events enumerated in this Section 8.

 

(a)  In case the Company shall hereafter pay a
dividend or make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock
in shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of
business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be
reduced by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the
close of business on the Record Date of this Warrant fixed for such
determination and (ii) the denominator shall be the sum of such number of
shares and the total number of shares referred to in (i) above
constituting such dividend or other distribution.  Such reduction in the Exercise Price shall
become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following
the Record Date.  If any dividend or
distribution of the type described in this Section 8(a) of this
Warrant is declared but not so paid or made, the Exercise Price shall again be
adjusted to the Exercise Price that otherwise then be in effect if such
dividend or distribution had not been declared.

 

(b)  In case the outstanding shares of Common
Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the
Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the
day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately
reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price
in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which
such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such
reduction or increase, as applicable, to become effective immediately after the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective.

 

(c)  In case the Company shall, by dividend or
otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of
capital stock of the Company or evidences of its indebtedness or other property
(including cash or assets or securities, but excluding (i) dividends or
distributions to which Section 8(a) applies, (ii) any dividend
or distribution paid exclusively in cash out of the Company’s earnings or
surplus, or (iii) any consideration distributed in connection with
reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange,
combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 9 of this Warrant applies
(the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 8(c) called the “Distributed Assets”)), the Exercise Price
shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of
business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of
which (i) the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (as defined in Section 8(e) of
this Warrant) on such date less the fair market value (as determined in good
faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
conclusive and set forth in a board resolution) on such date of the portion of
the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock
(determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on
the Record Date (as defined in Section 8(e) of this Warrant)), and (ii) the
denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such

 

9

 

reduction to become
effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the
Record Date.

 

Such
reduction in the Exercise Price shall become effective immediately prior to the
opening of business on the day following the Record Date.  However, in the event the then fair market
value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Assets so
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than
the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment,
adequate provision shall be made so that each holder shall have the right to
receive upon exercise of a Warrant (or any portion thereof) the amount of
Distributed Assets such holder would have received had such holder converted
such Warrant (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date.  In the event that such dividend or
distribution is not so paid or made, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted
to be the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or
distribution had not been declared.

 

If the Company’s Board of Directors determines the fair market value of
any distribution for purposes of this Section 8(c) by reference to
the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or
part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such
market over the same period (the “Reference
Period”) used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 8(e) of
this Warrant to the extent possible, unless a majority of the independent
members of the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith that
determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in
the best interest of the holders.

 

With respect to any rights that may be issued or distributed pursuant
to any rights plan that the Company implements after the earliest date of
issuance of this Warrant or any predecessor Warrant (a “Rights Plan”), upon exercise of this
Warrant into Common Stock, to the extent such Rights Plan is in effect upon
such exercise, the holder of this Warrant will receive, in addition to the
Common Stock, the rights described therein (whether or not the rights have
separated from the Common Stock prior to the time of exercise), subject to the
limitations set forth in any such Rights Plan. 
In the event the holder receives such rights, there will be no
adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants pursuant to this Section 8(c).  In the event the holder does not receive such
rights upon exercise of the Warrants for any reason, then an adjustment shall
be made to the Exercise Price to the extent provided for in the other
provisions of this Section 8(c).

 

For purposes of
this Section 8(c) and Section 8(a) of this Warrant, any
dividend or distribution to which this Section 8(c) is applicable
that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe
for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 8(a) of this
Warrant apply (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or
distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock,
rights or warrants immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution
of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Exercise
Price reduction required by Section 8(a) of this Warrant with respect
to such dividend or distribution shall then be made, except (A) the Record
Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the date fixed
for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or
other distribution,” “Record Date fixed for such determination” and “Record
Date” within the

 

10

 

meaning of Section 8(a) of
this Warrant, and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend
or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on
the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 8(a) of
this Warrant and any reduction or increase in the number of shares of Common
Stock resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in
connection with such dividend or distribution.

 

(d)  Whenever the Exercise Price or number
or type of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as
herein provided, the Company shall, at its expense, promptly deliver to the
record holder of this Warrant a certificate of an officer of the Company
setting forth the nature of such adjustment and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based.

 

(e)  For purposes of this Section 8, the
following terms shall have the meaning indicated:

 

(1)  “Current
Market Price” shall mean the average of the daily Trading Prices per
share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to
the date in question; provided, however, that (1) if the “ex”
date (as hereinafter defined) for any event (other than the issuance or
distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the
Exercise Price pursuant to Section 8(a), (b) or (c) of this
Warrant occurs during such 10 consecutive Trading Days, the Trading Price for
each Trading Day prior to the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted
by multiplying such Trading Price by the same fraction by which the Exercise
Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event, (2) if
the “ex” date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring
such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to
Section 8(a), (b) or (c) of this Warrant occurs on or after the “ex”
date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation and prior to
the day in question, the Trading Price for each Trading Day on and after the “ex”
date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Trading Price
by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Exercise Price is so required to
be adjusted as a result of such other event, and (3) if the “ex” date for
the issuance or distribution requiring such computation is prior to the day in
question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to clause (1) or
(2) of this proviso, the Trading Price for each Trading Day on or after
such “ex” date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and
the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of
Directors in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for
purposes of Section 8(c) of this Warrant, whose determination shall
be conclusive) of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock or
assets being distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock as of the
close of business on the day before such “ex” date.

 

(2)  “fair
market value” shall mean the amount which a willing buyer would pay
a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction.

 

(3)  “Record
Date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or
other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the right
to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock
(or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any
combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or
other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by
statute, contract or otherwise).

(f)  The Company may make such reductions in the
Exercise Price, in addition to those required by Section 8(a) or (b) of
this Warrant, as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or
diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common
Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to
acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

 

(g)  No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be
required under this Section 8 unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Price; provided, however,
that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 8(g) are not
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment.  All calculations
under this Section 8 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the
nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as the case may
be.  No adjustment need be made for a
change in the no par value of the Common Stock.

 

(h)  Notice to Holders of Warrants Prior to
Certain Actions.  In case:

 

(1)  the Company shall declare a dividend (or any
other distribution) on its Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the
Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 8;

 

(2)  of any reclassification of the Common Stock
of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding
Common Stock, a change in par value, a change from par value to no par value or
a change from no par value to par value), or any merger, consolidation,
statutory share exchange or combination to which the Company is a party and for
which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or the sale,
transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company; or

 

(3)  of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

 

the Company shall cause to
be provided to the holder of this Warrant at such address appearing in the
Warrant Register at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable record or
effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which
the holders of shares of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such
dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or
(y) the date on which such reclassification, merger, consolidation,
statutory share exchange, combination, sale, transfer, conveyance, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of
which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled
to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share
exchange, combination, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up.  Failure to give such notice,
or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the
proceedings or actions described in clauses (1) through (3) of this Section 8(h).  In addition, whenever the Exercise Price is
adjusted as provided in this Section 8, the Company shall prepare a notice
of such adjustment of the Exercise Price setting forth the adjusted Exercise
Price and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail
such notice of such adjustment of the Exercise Price to the holder

 

12

 

of each Warrant at his last
address in the Warrant Register within twenty (20) days of the effective date
of such adjustment.  Failure to deliver
such notice nor any defect therein shall not effect the legality or validity of
any such adjustment.

 

(i)  In any case in which this Section 8
provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a Record
Date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing
to the holder of any Warrant exercised after such Record Date and before the
occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above
the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such
adjustment and (ii) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of
any fraction pursuant to Section 2(d) of this Warrant.

 

(j)  Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price
pursuant to this Section 8, each Warrant shall thereupon evidence the
right to purchase that number of Warrant Shares (calculated to the nearest
hundredth of a share) obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment upon exercise of the Warrant
by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and
dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect immediately
after such adjustment.   The adjustment
pursuant to this Section 8(j) to the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
upon exercise of a Warrant shall be made each time an adjustment of the
Exercise Price is made pursuant to this Section 8.

 

Section 9.  Effect of Reclassification,
Consolidation, Merger or Sale.  If any of the
following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from
par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of
a subdivision or combination), as a result of which holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to receive capital stock, securities or other property or
assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, (ii) any
consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange or combination of the Company
with another Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including
cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock (other than as a
result of a change in name, a change in par value or a change in the
jurisdiction of incorporation), (iii) any sale or conveyance of the
properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to
any other Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled
to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with
respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then the Company or the
successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, shall issue a replacement
Warrant providing that such Warrant shall be exercisable for the kind and
amount of shares of stock and other securities or property or assets (including
cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger,
combination, statutory share exchange, sale or conveyance by a holder of a
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants
(assuming, for such purposes, a sufficient number of authorized shares of
Common Stock available for issuance upon exercise of all such Warrants)
immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger,
combination, statutory share exchange, sale or conveyance assuming such holder
of Common Stock did not exercise his rights of election, if any, that holders
of Common Stock who were entitled to vote or consent to such transaction had as
to the kind or amount of

 

13

 

securities,
cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, combination,
statutory share exchange, sale or conveyance (provided  that, if
the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, combination, statutory share exchange, sale or
conveyance is not the same for each share of Common Stock in respect of which
such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“non-electing
share”), then for the purposes of this Section 9 the kind and
amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation,
merger, combination, statutory share exchange, sale or conveyance for each
non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per
share by a plurality of the non-electing shares).  Such replacement Warrant shall provide for
adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in Section 8 of this Warrant.  If, in the case of any such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, combination, statutory share exchange, sale or
conveyance, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a
holder of shares of Common Stock shall include shares of stock or other
securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing
person, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, consolidate,
merger, combination, statutory share exchange, sale or conveyance, then such
replacement Warrant shall also be executed by such other person and shall
contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the holder of
the Warrants as the Company’s Board of Directors shall reasonably consider
necessary by reason of the foregoing. 
The Exercise Price for the stock and other securities, property and
assets (including cash) so receivable upon such event shall be an amount equal
to the Exercise Price immediately prior to such event.

 

The Company shall mail such replacement Warrant to each holder of
Warrants, at such holder’s address appearing in the Warrant Register within
twenty (20) days after execution thereof. 
Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity
of such replacement Warrant.

 

The above provisions of this Section 9 shall similarly apply to
successive or series of related reclassifications, changes, consolidations,
mergers, statutory shares exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances.

 

If this Section 9 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 8
of this Warrant shall not apply, provided  that such other
provisions shall continue to apply to all other issuances.

 

Section 10.            Lost,
Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrants.  If this
Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall promptly, on
receipt of an indemnification undertaking or other form of security reasonably
acceptable to the Company (or in the case of a mutilated Warrant, the Warrant),
issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost,
stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

 

Section 11.            Notice.  All notices, requests, consents and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be mailed (A) if
within United States by first-class registered or certified airmail, or
nationally recognized overnight express courier, postage prepaid, or by

in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Exhibit 10.1.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENTExhibit 10.21

 

AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO

CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

THIS AMENDMENT NO.
3 TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (“Amendment”) is dated as of September 26, 2005
and is entered into by and between AVIZA TECHNOLOGY, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the “Borrower”) and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. (the “Lender”).  All capitalized terms used herein but not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit
Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

 

WITNESSETH

 

WHEREAS, the
Borrower and the Lender have entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated
as of August 6, 2004, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Credit
Agreement dated as of September 23, 2004 and that certain Amendment No. 2
to Credit Agreement dated as of February 23, 2005 (collectively referred to
herein as the “Credit Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the
Borrower desires to amend the Credit Agreement and the Lender is willing to do
so, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises herein contained and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the
Lender and  the Borrower hereby agree as
follows:

 

I.              Amendment to the Agreement.  The Lender and Borrower agree that the Credit
Agreement shall be amended as follows:

 

A.            EBITDA.  Notwithstanding anything stated to the
contrary in the Credit Agreement, the Borrower will maintain EBITDA as of the
last day of its fiscal quarter ending in September 2005 at an amount not less
than ($2,000,000) (numbers appearing between
“( )” are negative).  Minimum EBIDTA
covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement for all other periods shall remain
unchanged.

 

B.            Adjusted Tangible
Net Worth. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in the Credit
Agreement, the Borrower will maintain an Adjusted Tangible Net Worth of not
less than ($32,000,000) on the last day of each of the months for the months of
July 2005, August 2005, and September 2005 (numbers appearing between “( )” are negative).  Minimum
Adjusted Tangible Net Worth covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement for all
other periods shall remain unchanged.

 

C.            Section 2.1(a)
of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read
as follows:

 

1

 

“(a)         Interest
Rates.  All outstanding Obligations
shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the
extent permitted by law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date
made until paid in full in cash at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus one-half
of one percent (0.50%), but not to exceed the Maximum Rate.  Each change in the Base Rate shall be
reflected in the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans as of the year of
360 days and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid
than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  The Borrower shall pay to the Lender interest
accrued on all Revolving Loans in arrears on the first day of each month
hereafter and on the Termination Date.”

 

II.            Consent to Merger.

 

A.            Borrower has informed
Lender of its intent to merge with Baseball Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware
corporation (“Baseball II”), with Borrower as the surviving entity (the “Merger”)
pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 14,
2005 in the form delivered to Lender as of the date of this Amendment (the “Merger
Agreement”), by and among Borrower, Trikon Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Trikon”), New Athletics, Inc. (the “Holding Company”),
Baseball Acquisition Corp. I, a Delaware corporation and Baseball II.  As set forth in the Merger Agreement, upon
the consummation of the Merger, (i) Borrower will change its name to Aviza,
Inc. (the “Name Change”), and (ii) the holders of common stock of the
Borrower and series A preferred stock of the Borrower immediately prior to the
Merger shall exchange their shares in the Borrower for shares of common stock
of the Holding Company with the Holding Company receiving such stockholders’
interests in the Borrower (the “Ownership Change”).

 

B.            Borrower has
requested, and Lender has agreed, to consent to the Merger, Name Change and the
Ownership Change as set forth in the Merger Agreement, subject to the following
terms and conditions:

 

1.             Receipt by Lender of a fully
executed copy of the Merger Agreement;

 

2.             As soon as possible but in no event
later than ten (10) business days after the consummation of the Merger, Lender shall
have received (i) a guaranty executed by Trikon in Favor of Lender (“Trikon
Guaranty”), guaranteeing the obligations of Borrower under the Loan
Documents, (ii) a debenture, charge or similar security document (“Trikon
Security Agreement”) executed by Trikon in favor of Lender granting to
Lender a perfected first priority security interest in all of Trikon’s assets
as security for Trikon’s obligations under the Trikon Guaranty, (iii) all other
documentation, including one or more opinions of counsel, which in Lender’s
opinion is appropriate with respect to the execution and delivery of the Trikon
Guaranty or Trikon Security Agreement, all in form and substance satisfactory
to Lender.

 

3.             Receipt by Lender of evidence that all
conditions to the consummation of the Merger have been met and the certificate
of merger has been filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware;

 

2

 

4.             Receipt by Lender of a fully
executed copy of the Stockholder Agreement (“Stockholder Agreement”)
entered into by and among Holding Company, Trikon Technologies, Inc.,
VantagePoint Venture Partners IV (Q), L.P., VantagePoint Venture Partners IV,
L.P. and VantagePoint Venture Partners IV Principals Fund, L.P., in the form
delivered to Lender and approved by Lender;

 

5.             No Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred or be continuing at the Effective Time (as defined in the
Merger Agreement);

 

6.             Affiliates of VantagePoint Venture
Partners (“VPVP”) shall have invested $9,000,000 in the Series B-1
Preferred Stock of Borrower (“Preferred Stock”);

 

7.             Receipt by Lender of the evidence
of the consummation of the Name Change; and

 

8.             Receipt by Lender of a fully
executed counterpart to this Amendment.

 

III.           Consent To Issuance Of Series B-1
Preferred Stock.  Borrower has
informed Lender of its intent to issue (“Stock Issuance”) the Preferred
Stock to affiliates of VPVP.  The Stock
Issuance may be prohibited by Section 7.10, among other provisions, of the
Credit Agreement.  As a result, it is
necessary for Borrower to obtain Lender’s consent to the Stock Issuance.  Borrower has requested, and Lender has
agreed, to consent to the Stock Issuance subject to the following terms and
conditions:

 

A.            The aggregate issue
price of the Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Stock Issuance will
not be less than $9,000,000 with no more than $2,000,000 of such amount to be
paid to Trikon in full satisfaction of payments owed by Borrower to Trikon
under the Joint Development Agreement by and between Borrower and Trikon;

 

B.            Borrower may redeem
the Preferred Stock only as set forth in the Subordination Agreements (as
defined below);

 

C.            Borrower’s
representation and warranty (as evidenced by Borrower’s execution of this
Amendment) that, after consummation of the Stock Issuance, there will exist no
Event of Default or other breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant
in the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, except to the extent
specifically consented to by Lender hereunder, and

 

D.            The holders of the
Preferred Stock and Lender shall have entered into separate  subordination agreements (the “Subordination
Agreements”) subordinating the holders’ right to receive any payments owing by
Borrower under the terms of the Preferred Stock to the right of Lender to
receive payments under the Credit Agreement, which Subordination Agreements
will be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

 

IV.           Conditions.  The effectiveness of this Amendment is
subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

 

3

 

A.            Amendment.  Fully executed copies of this Amendment and
the consent attached hereto signed by the Borrower or the Guarantor as
necessary, and delivered to Lender.

Lender such other documents and instruments as Lender may reasonably require.

 

V.            Miscellaneous.

 

A.            Survival of
Representations and Warranties.  All
representations and warranties made in the Credit Agreement or any other
document or documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, any Loan
Document furnished in connection with this Amendment, shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents, and no
investigation by Lender shall affect the representations and warranties or the
right of Lender to rely thereon.

 

B.            Reference to Credit
Agreement.  The Credit Agreement,
each of the Loan Documents, and any and all other agreements, documents or
instruments now or hereafter executed and delivered pursuant to the terms
hereof, or pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, are
hereby amended so that any reference therein to the Credit Agreement shall mean
a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
