EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of this 10th day of September, 2013, by and between SPHERIX INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation with offices at 7927 Jones Branch Drive, Suite 3125, Tysons Corner, Virginia 22102 (the “Corporation”), and Anthony Hayes, an individual residing at 233 E. 69th St., Apt. 10N, New York, NY 10021 (the “Executive”), under the following circumstances:

 

RECITALS:

A.           The Corporation desires to secure the services of the Executive upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

 

B.           The Executive desires to render services to the Corporation upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties mutually agree as follows:

 

1.           Employment. The Corporation hereby employs the Executive and the Executive hereby accepts employment as an executive of the Corporation, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

2.           Duties. The Executive shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, with such duties, responsibilities and authority as are commensurate and consistent with his position, as may be, from time to time, assigned to him by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) or Chairman of the Board of the Corporation. The Executive shall report directly to the Chairman of the Board of the Corporation. During the Term (as defined in Section 3), the Executive shall devote his full business time and efforts to the performance of his duties hereunder unless otherwise authorized by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the expenditure of reasonable amounts of time by the Executive for the making of passive personal investments, the conduct of private business affairs and charitable and professional activities shall be allowed, provided such activities do not materially interfere with the services required to be rendered to the Corporation hereunder and do not violate the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 8 below.  For the avoidance of doubt, Executive may invest or be involved with other ventures and investments, including intellectual property related ventures and investments, (hereafter “Other Investments”), so long as all Other Investments are disclosed to the Corporation and the Corporation determines that Executive’s involvement in any Other Investment does not contravene any provisions of this Agreement or will breach any of Executive’s duties to Company or its stockholders.

 

3.           Term of Employment. The term of the Executive’s employment hereunder, unless sooner terminated as provided herein (the “Initial Term”), shall be for a period of two (2) years commencing on the date of closing of the acquisition of North South Holdings, Inc. (“NS”) (the “Commencement Date”). The term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for additional terms of one (1) year each (each a “Renewal Term”) unless either party gives prior written notice of non-renewal to the other party no later than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term (“Non-Renewal Notice”), or the then current Renewal Term, as the case may be. For purposes of this Agreement, the Initial Term and any Renewal Term are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Term.”

  

  

  

4.           Compensation of Executive.

 

(a)           The Corporation shall pay the Executive a signing bonus of $100,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Executive upon execution of this Agreement by the Corporation and Executive and upon the contemporaneous closing of the merger of NS with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation (the “Closing Date”).

 

(b)           The Corporation shall pay the Executive as compensation for his services hereunder, in equal semi-monthly or bi-weekly installments during the Term, the sum of $350,000 per annum (the “Base Salary”), less such deductions as shall be required to be withheld by applicable law and regulations. The Corporation shall review the Base Salary on an annual basis and has the right but not the obligation to increase it, but has no right to decrease the Base Salary.

 

(c)           In addition to the Base Salary set forth in Section 4(b) above, the Executive shall be entitled to receive an annual cash bonus (“Annual Bonus”) in an amount equal to up to one hundred (100%) percent of his then-current Base Salary if the Corporation meets or exceeds criteria adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) for earning Bonuses which shall be adopted by the Compensation Committee annually.  Annual Bonuses shall be paid by the Corporation to the Executive promptly after determination that the relevant targets have been met, it being understood that the attainment of any financial targets associated with any bonus shall not be determined until following the completion of the Corporation’s annual audit and public announcement of such results and shall be paid promptly following the Corporation’s announcement of earnings.  The “Target Bonus” for Executive for 2013 shall be 100% of Base Salary (pro-rated for the portion of 2013 commencing on the Commencement Date of this Agreement) upon achievement of 100% of the criteria for Executive established by the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation Committee may provide for lesser or greater percentage Annual Bonus payments for Executive upon achievement of partial or additional criteria established or determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time.  For the avoidance of doubt, if Executive is employed upon expiration of the term of this Agreement, he shall be entitled to the Annual Bonus for such last year on a pro-rata basis through the last date of employment, even if he is not employed by the Corporation on the date the Annual Bonus is paid for such last year.

 

(d)            provided, however, that in the event the parties are unable to agree to a mutually acceptable Target Bonus at any time during the Term, the Executive shall receive a guaranteed annual bonus for any such fiscal year of not less than fifty percent (50%) of the Base Salary.  In his sole discretion, the Executive may elect to receive such annual bonus in capital stock or options valued on the Black-Scholes method at the basis determined by the Board in good faith.

 

(e)           The Corporation shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive in the course of his employment, consistent with the Corporation’s policy for reimbursement of expenses from time to time.

 

(f)           The Executive shall be entitled to participate in such pension, profit sharing, group insurance, hospitalization, and group health and benefit plans and all other benefits and plans, including perquisites, if any, as the Corporation provides to its senior executives, including group family health insurance coverage which shall be paid by the Corporation (the “Benefit Plans”).  If at any time during the Term, the Corporation does not provide its senior executives with health insurance (including hospitalization) under a Benefit Plan, Executive shall be entitled to secure such health insurance for himself and his immediate family (i.e., spouse and natural born children) and the Corporation shall reimburse Executive for the cost of such insurance promptly after payment by the Executive for such insurance.  For avoidance of doubt, Executive shall be entitled to secure health insurance from high quality companies such as Blue Cross/Blue shield, United or Emblem and the ability to select a no or low deductible plan.  If Executive secures such health insurance, such health insurance shall be deemed to be a Benefit Plan hereunder.

  

  

  

(g)           The Corporation shall execute and deliver in favor of the Executive an indemnification agreement on the same terms and conditions entered into with the other officers and directors of the Corporation.  Such agreement shall provide for the indemnification of the Executive for the term of his employment and for a period of at least six (6) years thereafter.  The Corporation shall maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance during the Term and for a period of at least six (6) years thereafter.

 

(h)           The Corporation shall also hire a New York City based executive assistant to assist the Executive with his duties.

 

5.           Termination.

 

(a)           This Agreement and the Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon the happening of any of the following events:

 

(i)           upon the Executive’s death;

 

(ii)           upon the Executive’s “Total Disability” (as herein defined);

 

(iii)           upon the expiration of the Initial Term of this Agreement or any Renewal Term thereof, if either party has provided a timely Non-Renewal Notice in accordance with Section 3, above;

 

(iv)           at the Executive’s option, upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the Corporation;

 

(v)           at the Executive’s option, in the event of an act by the Corporation, defined in Section 5(c), below, as constituting “Good Reason” for termination by the Executive; and

(b)           For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive shall be deemed to be suffering from a “Total Disability” if the Executive has failed to perform his regular and customary duties to the Corporation for a period of 180 days out of any 360-day period and if before the Executive has become “Rehabilitated” (as herein defined) a majority of the members of the Board, exclusive of the Executive, vote to determine that the Executive is mentally or physically incapable or unable to continue to perform such regular and customary duties of employment. As used herein, the term “Rehabilitated” shall mean such time as the Executive is willing, able and commences to devote his time and energies to the affairs of the Corporation to the extent and in the manner that he did so prior to his Total Disability.

 

(c)           For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason” shall mean that the Executive has resigned due to (i) any diminution of duties inconsistent with Executive’s title, authority, duties and responsibilities (including, without limitation, a change in the chain of reporting); (ii) any reduction of or failure to pay Executive compensation provided for herein, except to the extent Executive consents in writing to any reduction, deferral or waiver of compensation, which non-payment continues for a period of fifteen (15) days following written notice to the Corporation by Executive of such non-payment; (iii) any relocation of the principal location of Executive’s employment outside of New York City without the Executive’s prior written consent; (iv) the consummation of any Change in Control Transaction (as defined below); (v) any material violation by the Corporation of its obligations under this Agreement that is not cured within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Executive or (vi) the current interim Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation shall cease to perform services for the Corporation in the capacity of Executive Chairman of the Board or as a senior executive of the Corporation.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Change in Control Transaction” means the sale of the Corporation to an un-affiliated person or entity or group of un-affiliated persons or entities pursuant to which such party or parties acquire (i) shares of capital stock of the Corporation representing at least fifty percent (50%) of

  

  

  

outstanding capital stock or sufficient to elect a majority of the Board or of the board of directors of the Corporation (whether by merger, consolidation, sale or transfer of shares (other than a merger where the Corporation is the surviving corporation and the shareholders and directors of the Corporation prior to the merger constitute a majority of the shareholders and directors, respectively, of the surviving corporation (or its parent)) (other than the contemplated NS transaction)) or (ii) all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets determined on a consolidated basis.

 

(d)           For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean any material breach of this Agreement or any other agreement or certificate signed by the Executive in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Corporation, NS and Nuta Technology Corp., a Virginia corporation (“NUTA”) by Executive or material, gross and willful misconduct on the part of the Executive in connection with his employment duties hereunder, in all cases that is not cured within fourteen (14) days after receipt of notice thereof (to the extent such breach is capable of being cured), or the Executive’s conviction of or entering of a guilty plea or a plea of no contest with respect to a felony or any crime involving fraud, larceny or embezzlement resulting in material harm to the Corporation by the Executive.

 

6.           Effects of Termination.

 

(a)           Upon termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 5(a)(i) or (ii), in addition to the accrued but unpaid compensation and vacation pay through the date of death or Total Disability and any other benefits accrued to him under any Benefit Plans outstanding at such time and the reimbursement of documented, unreimbursed expenses incurred prior to such date, the Executive or his estate or beneficiaries, as applicable, shall be entitled to the following severance benefits: (i) twelve (12) months’ Base Salary at the then current rate, payable in a lump sum, less withholding of applicable taxes; (ii) continued provision for a period of twelve (12) months following the Executive’s death or Total Disability of benefits under Benefit Plans extended from time to time by the Corporation to its senior executives; and (iii) payment on a pro-rated basis of any Annual Bonus or other payments earned in connection with any bonus plan to which the Executive was a participant as of the date of death or Total Disability.

 

(b)           Upon termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 5(a)(iii), where the Corporation has offered to renew the term of the Executive’s employment for an additional one (1) year period and the Executive chooses not to continue in the employ of the Corporation, the Executive shall be entitled to receive only the accrued but unpaid compensation and vacation pay through the date of termination, payment on a pro-rated basis of any Annual Bonus or other payments earned in connection with any bonus plan to which the Executive was a participant as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment,  any other benefits accrued to him under any Benefit Plans outstanding at such time and the reimbursement of documented, unreimbursed expenses incurred prior to such date. In the event the Corporation tenders a Non-Renewal Notice to the Executive, then the Executive shall be entitled to the same severance benefits as if the Executive’s employment were terminated pursuant to Section 5(a)(v); provided, however, if such Non-Renewal Notice was triggered due to the Corporation’s statement that the Executive’s employment was terminated due to Section 5(a)(vi) (for “Cause”), then payment of severance benefits will be contingent upon a determination as to whether termination was properly for “Cause.”

 

(c)           Upon termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 5(a)(v) or other than pursuant to Section 5(a)(i), 5(a)(ii), 5(a)(iii), 5(a)(iv), or 5(a)(vi) (i.e., without “Cause”), in addition to the accrued but unpaid compensation and vacation pay through the end of the initial two-year Term or any then applicable extension of the Term and any other benefits accrued to him under any Benefit Plans outstanding at such time and the reimbursement of documented, unreimbursed expenses incurred prior to such date, the Executive shall be entitled to the following severance benefits: (i) twelve (12) months’ Base Salary at the then current rate, to be paid in a single lump sum payment not later than sixty (60) days following such termination, less withholding of all applicable taxes; (ii) continued provision for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of termination of the benefits under Benefit Plans extended from time to time by the Corporation to its senior executives; and (iii) payment on a pro-rated basis of any

 

  

  

  

Annual Bonus or other payments earned in connection with any bonus plan to which the Executive was a participant as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment.  In addition, any options or restricted stock shall be immediately vested upon termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 5(a)(v) or by the Corporation without “Cause”.

 

(d)           Upon termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 5(a)(iv) or (vi), in addition to the reimbursement of documented, unreimbursed expenses incurred prior to such date, the Executive shall be entitled to the following severance benefits: (i) accrued and unpaid Base Salary and vacation pay through the date of termination, less withholding of applicable taxes; and (ii) continued provision, for a period of one (1) month after the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, of benefits under Benefit Plans extended to the Executive at the time of termination.  Executive shall have any conversion rights available under the Corporation’s Benefit Plans and as otherwise provided by law, including the Comprehensive Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act.

 

(e)           Any payments required to be made hereunder by the Corporation to the Executive shall continue to the Executive’s beneficiaries in the event of his death until paid in full.

 

7.           Vacations. The Executive shall be entitled to a vacation of three (3) weeks per year, during which period his Base Salary shall be paid in full. The Executive shall take his vacation at such time or times as the Executive and the Corporation shall determine is mutually convenient. Any vacation not taken in one (1) year shall accrue, up to a maximum of six (6) weeks vacation, and shall carry over to the subsequent year.

 

8.           Disclosure of Confidential Information. The Executive recognizes, acknowledges and agrees that he has had and will continue to have access to secret and confidential information regarding the Corporation, including but not limited to, its products, formulae, patents, sources of supply, customer dealings, data, know-how and business plans, provided such information is not in or does not hereafter become part of the public domain, or become known to others through no fault of the Executive. The Executive acknowledges that such information is of great value to the Corporation, is the sole property of the Corporation, and has been and will be acquired by him in confidence. In consideration of the obligations undertaken by the Corporation herein, the Executive will not, at any time, during or after his employment hereunder, reveal, divulge or make known to any person, any information acquired by the Executive during the course of his employment, which is treated as confidential by the Corporation, and not otherwise in the public domain. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder. All references to the Corporation in Section 8 and Section 9 hereof shall include any subsidiary of the Corporation.

 

9.           Clawback Rights.  The Annual Bonus, and any and all stock based compensation (such as options and equity awards) (collectively, the “Clawback Benefits”) shall be subject to “Corporation Clawback Rights” as follows: During the period that the Executive is employed by the Corporation and  upon the termination of the Executive’s employment and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, if there is a restatement of any financial results from which any Clawback Benefits to Executive shall have been determined, Executive agrees to repay any amounts which were determined by reference to any Corporation financial results which were later restated (as defined below), to the extent the Clawback Benefits amounts paid exceed the Clawback Benefits amounts that would have been paid, based on the restatement of the Corporation’s financial information.  All Clawback Benefits amounts resulting from such restated financial results shall be retroactively adjusted by the Compensation Committee to  take into account the restated results, and any excess portion  of  the Clawback Benefits  resulting from such restated results shall be immediately surrendered to the Corporation and if not so surrendered within ninety (90) days of the revised calculation being provided to the Executive by the Compensation Committee following a publicly announced restatement, the Corporation shall have the right to take any and all action to effectuate such adjustment. The calculation of the Revised Clawback Benefits amount shall be determined by the Compensation Committee in good faith and applicable law, rules and regulations.  All determinations by the Compensation Committee with respect to the Clawback Rights shall be final and binding on the Corporation and Executive.  The Clawback Rights shall terminate following a Change of

 

  

  

  

Control, subject to applicable law, rules and regulations. For purposes of this Section 9, a restatement of financial results that requires a repayment of a portion of the Clawback Benefits amounts shall mean a restatement resulting from material non-compliance of the Corporation with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws and shall not include a restatement of financial results resulting from subsequent changes in accounting pronouncements or  requirements which were not in effect on the date the financial statements were originally prepared (“Restatements”).  The parties acknowledge it is their intention that the foregoing Clawback Rights as relates to Restatements conform in all respects to the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd Frank Act”) and requires recovery of all “incentive-based” compensation, pursuant to the provisions of the Dodd Frank Act and any and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time in effect.  Accordingly, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed automatically amended from time to time to assure compliance with the Dodd Frank Act and such rules and regulation as hereafter may be adopted and in effect.

 

10.           Section 409A.

 

The provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and any final regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) and shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A.  The Corporation and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A.

 

To the extent that Executive will be reimbursed for costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as otherwise permitted by Section 409A, (a) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (b) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year; provided that the foregoing clause (b) shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect and (c) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which you incurred the expense.

 

A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination constitutes a “Separation from Service” within the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean Separation from Service.

 

Each installment payable hereunder shall constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b), including Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).  Each payment that is made within the terms of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) is intended to meet the “short-term deferral” rule.  Each other payment is intended to be a payment upon an involuntary termination from service and payable pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), et. seq., to the maximum extent permitted by that regulation, with any amount that is not exempt from Code Section 409A being subject to Code Section 409A.

 

  

  

  

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive’s termination, then only that portion of the severance and benefits payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, if any, and any other severance payments or separation benefits which may be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits”), which (when considered together) do not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined herein) may be made within the first six (6) months following Executive’s termination of employment in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.  Any portion of the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits in excess of the Section 409A Limit otherwise due to Executive on or within the six (6) month period following Executive’s termination will accrue during such six (6) month period and will become payable in one lump sum cash payment on the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s termination of employment.  All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following termination but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of Executive’s termination date, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” will mean a sum equal (x) to the amounts payable prior to March 15 following the year in which Executive terminations plus (y) the lesser of two (2) times: (i) Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during the Corporation’s taxable year preceding the Corporation’s taxable year of Executive’s termination of employment as determined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any IRS guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated.

 

11.           Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           The Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered by him under the provisions of this Agreement are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that it would be difficult or impossible to replace such services. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that any breach or threatened breach by him of Sections 8 or 9 of this Agreement shall entitle the Corporation, in addition to all other legal remedies available to it, to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to seek to enjoin such breach or threatened breach. The parties understand and intend that each restriction agreed to by the Executive hereinabove shall be construed as separable and divisible from every other restriction, that the unenforceability of any restriction shall not limit the enforceability, in whole or in part, of any other restriction, and that one or more or all of such restrictions may be enforced in whole or in part as the circumstances warrant. In the event that any restriction in this Agreement is more restrictive than permitted by law in the jurisdiction in which the Corporation seeks enforcement thereof, such restriction shall be limited to the extent permitted by law. The remedy of injunctive relief herein set forth shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies that the Corporation may have at law or in equity.

 

(b)           Neither the Executive nor the Corporation may assign or delegate any of their rights or duties under this Agreement without the express written consent of the other; provided however that the Corporation shall have the right to delegate its obligation of payment of all sums due to the Executive hereunder, provided that such delegation shall not relieve the Corporation of any of its obligations hereunder.

 

  

  

  

(c)           This Agreement constitutes and embodies the full and complete understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the Executive’s employment by the Corporation, supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between the Executive and the Corporation, and shall not be amended, modified or changed except by an instrument in writing executed by the party to be charged. The invalidity or partial invalidity of one or more provisions of this Agreement shall not invalidate any other provision of this Agreement. No waiver by either party of any provision or condition to be performed shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same time or any prior or subsequent time.

 

(d)           This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be binding upon and enforceable against, the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, beneficiaries and permitted assigns.

 

(e)           The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

(f)           All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by private overnight mail service (e.g. Federal Express) to the party at the address set forth above or to such other address as either party may hereafter give notice of in accordance with the provisions hereof. Notices shall be deemed given on the sooner of the date actually received or the third business day after sending.

 

(g)           This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without reference to principles of conflicts of laws and each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in the State of New York.

 

(h)           This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one of the same instrument. The parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date set forth above.

(a)                       The Premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant only in conformity with law and for the use specified in Reference Data hereon and as further described in Paragraph 1(b) hereinbelow (the “Permitted Use”), and for such other lawful purposes as may be incidental thereto, all to the extent permitted by applicable zoning regulations, subject to the Rules and Regulations attached hereto or as amended from time to time by Landlord. Any violation of these provisions shall be considered a breach of this Lease by Tenant, and Landlord shall have the right to exercise any or all remedies provided herein in the event of a breach of this Lease. Tenant shall not use or permit any use of the Premises other than the use described in Paragraph 1(b) hereinbelow that would create any safety hazard which would be dangerous to the Premises, the Building, the Property or the occupants of same, which would be disturbing to the other tenants or occupants of the Property, or which would cause any increase in premium for any insurance which Landlord may then have in effect with respect to the Property generally. In case of a breach of this covenant, in addition to all other remedies of Landlord hereunder, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as Additional Rent any and all increases in premiums for insurance carried by Landlord on the Property (or any portions thereof) so caused by such other use by Tenant. Tenant shall promptly comply with all governmental orders, directives for the correction, prevention and abatement of any violations or nuisances arising out of Tenant’s specific use of the Premises, but not its mere occupancy thereof, all at Tenant’s sole expense and shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of the municipal, county, state and federal, governments and any and all departments thereof having jurisdiction over the Building and the Property relating to such use. Tenant shall at its own cost and expense obtain any and all licenses and permits necessary for any such use. The parking of automobiles, trucks or other vehicles in the areas not specifically designated for such, and the outside storage of any property are prohibited without Landlord’s prior written consent. If, as a result of any change in the governmental laws, ordinances and regulations, the Property must be altered to lawfully accommodate Tenant’s specific use thereof; such alterations shall be made only with the consent of Landlord, but the entire cost thereof shall be borne by Tenant; provided that the necessity of Landlord’s consent shall in no way create any liability against Landlord for failure of Tenant to comply, or alter the Property to comply, with such laws, ordinances and regulations. Tenant shall not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise or vibrations to emanate from the Premises, or take any other action which would constitute a nuisance or would disturb or endanger any other tenants of
the Property, or unreasonably interfere with such tenants’ use of their respective premises. Tenant shall, not receive, store or otherwise handle any product, material or merchandise which is explosive or highly flammable. Tenant shall not permit the Premises to be used for any purpose (including, without limitation, the storage of merchandise) in any manner which would render Landlord’s and/or Tenant’s insurance thereon void.
 
(b)                      Anything to the contrary contained in this Lease and the Hazardous Materials Addendum hereto notwithstanding, Landlord acknowledges that Tenant will be using the Premises for an optoelectronic device epitaxy and wafer fabrication operation, and that such use is specifically permitted hereunder. Landlord further acknowledges that the storage and use of highly toxic, explosive, flammable, and corrosive gases and chemicals are required in connection with such use, and that such use generates odors, noise, and vibrations, all of which are permitted. In the storage, use, and disposal of such chemicals and gases, Tenant agrees to obtain any and all licenses and permits and to abide by all governmental regulations. Tenant also agrees to use all necessary precautions to prevent the use of these chemicals and gases from disturbing or endangering any of the other tenants of the Property In the event of a chemical leak and/or spill, Tenant agrees to have the appropriate detection and alarm systems per governmental regulations to alert all tenants of the Property to the emergency situation.

4.                           RENT.
 
(a)                       Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent (“Rent”) in equal consecutive monthly installments on or before the first day of each full calendar month during the Term. Rent for any period during the Term which is less than one frill month shall be a prorated portion of the monthly installment of Rent based upon the actual number of calendar days in such month. Said Rent shall be paid to Landlord, without deduction or offset and without notice or demand at Landlord’s address, as set forth on the Reference Page, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.
 
(b)                      Tenant recognizes that late payment of any Rent or other sum due hereunder will result in administrative expense to Landlord, the extent of which additional expense is extremely difficult and economically impractical to ascertain. Tenant therefore agrees that, if Rent or any other sum is due and payable pursuant to this Lease, and when such amount remains due and unpaid ten (10) calendar days after said amount is due, such amount shall be increased by a late charge in an amount equal to the greater of: (a) $50.00, or (b) a sum equal to 5% of the unpaid Rent or other payment. The amount of the late charge to be paid by Tenant shall be, reassessed and added to Tenant’s obligation for each successive monthly period until paid. The provisions of this paragraph in no way relieve Tenant of the obligations to pay Rent or other payments on or before the date on which they are due, nor do the terms of this paragraph in any way affect Landlord’s remedies pursuant to Paragraph 23 of this Lease.
 
(c)                       Tenant shall pay interest to Landlord at the Overdue Interest Rate (as defined below) on account of (i) all overdue installments of Annual Base Rent and payments of Additional Rent due on a regular basis from the tenth day from the due date thereof to the date of payment, and (ii) on all payments of Additional Rent that are not payable to Landlord hereunder on a regular basis from the date of demand for payment until the date of payment. Upon default by Tenant in the payment of Additional Rent or
other sums payable hereunder, Landlord shall be entitled to all rights and remedies to which it would be entitled in default of the payment of Annual Base Rent. As used herein, the term “Overdue interest Rate” shall mean three percent (3%) per annum over the “prime” interest rate quoted from time to time by Bank of America, or its successor, or such other national bank with offices in Philadelphia as may be selected by Landlord (any of such being referred to herein as the “Bank”), as its “prime” rate of interest.
 
(d)                      No security or guaranty, which may now or hereafter be furnished to Landlord for the payment of Rent or the performance of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease shall in any way constitute a bar to the recovery of the Premises or defense to any action in unlawful detainer or to any other action which Landlord may bring for a breach of any of the terms, covenants or Conditions of this Lease.
 
5.                           PROPERTY OPERATING COSTS.
 
Tenant shall pay for all utilities and services directly relating to its use and occupancy of the Premises during the Initial Term. Landlord shall be responsible for all other utilities-and services for the remainder of the Buildings.

Anything to the contrary in the foregoing notwithstanding, the parties agree to allocate the utility and other operating costs as set forth on Exhibit “D” attached hereto (the “Cost Allocation”). Each party shall be responsible for the total amount of all cost items allocated to it on the Cost Allocation, which shall not be limited by the estimated amounts set forth thereon. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(b)                       Operating Cost to be Shared between Landlord and Tenant
 
Shared Costs shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant in accordance with the dollar amounts listed in the Cost Allocation, under the heading “Shared Costs”, with the following exceptions:
 
(i)                If as of the first (lst) calendar, day of die six (6) month anniversary, of the date of the Property, Transfer (as that term is defined in Paragraph 7 hereof) Tenant remains in occupancy of any portion of the Temporary Premises, Tenant shall become responsible for 100% of the Shared Costs subject to the adjustment in subparagraph (ii) below. At such time as Tenant vacates all of the Temporary Premises. Landlord shall thereafter be responsible for its portion of the Shared Costs for the remainder of the Initial Term.
 
(ii)             Upon the commencement of a lease and occupancy of space in any Building by a party other than Tenant or upon commencement of occupancy of any such space by Landlord for
purposes of completing renovations, hereinafter referred to as “Other Use”, and continuing for the term of said Other Use, Tenant’s responsibility for a Shared Cost shall be equitably reduced after considering the nature and extent of such Other Use and its actual or anticipated impact on such Shared Cost, as reasonably determined by Landlord and Tenant.
 
(iii)          Upon the commencement of ah Other Use in the Building(s), in the event that any other tenant is sharing any of the systems-or services listed on the Cost Allocation as Tenant Costs and continuing for the term of said Other Use, Tenant’s responsibility for Tenant’s Costs shall be reduced equitably in the manner described in subparagraph (ii) above. If the new tenant’s allocation of costs is deemed to be in excess of its proportionate share, then, the new tenant shall be responsible for any increased costs. In the event the new tenant’s allocation of shared costs is deemed to be considerably below its proportionate share, an allocation will be negotiated between Landlord, Tenant and the new tenant.
 
Tenant shall be responsible for paying all of the Shared Costs directly to the utility or service provider. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Landlord’s portion of the “Shared Costs” by way of a credit against the monthly installment of Annual Base Rent due hereunder” in the amount of thirteen Thousand Three Hundred Eighty Eight and No/100 Dollars ($13,388,00) per month. Landlord shall also reimburse Tenant by way of a credit against monthly installments of Annual Base Rent due hereunder, for any portion of Shared Costs or Tenant Costs that are allocated to Landlord or any other party in accordance with subparagraphs (ii) or (iii) immediately above.
 
(c)                       Tenant’s Portion of Property Operating Cost
 
Tenant shall be responsible for all costs associated with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, and which are listed on the Cost Allocation as Tenant Costs without exception. In no event however, shall Tenant be responsible for any Such itemized costs for utilities or services serving any other portion of the Buildings other than the Premises.

(c)                       To the extent required hereunder, consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not be construed as consent to any other assignment or subletting.

(d)                      Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer, in the event that Tenant sells, sublets, assigns, or transfers this Lease and at any time receives periodic rent and/or other consideration which exceeds that which Tenant would at that time be obligated to pay to Landlord. Tenant shall pay to Landlord 75% of the net increase in such rent as such rent is received by Tenant and 75% of any other consideration received by Tenant, after reduction for customary and reasonable brokerage commissions and legal fees incurred in negotiating and documenting the assignment or sublease.
 
(e)                       Should Landlord agree to authorize and execute an assignment or sublease agreement, Tenant will pay to Landlord on demand a sum equal to all of Landlord’s costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with such assignment or transfer.

against such property so long as the same shall be in Landlord’s possession or under Landlord’s control. Any such property of Tenant not retaken by Tenant from storage within 30 days after removal from the Premises shall, at Landlord’s option, be deemed conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of sale without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant.
 
Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law or at equity (all such, remedies being cumulative), nor shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained. No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents during the Term shall be deemed a termination of this Lease or an acceptance of the surrender, of the Premises, and no agreement to terminate this Lease or accept & surrender of said Premises shall be valid unless in writing signed by Landlord. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained Landlord’s acceptance of the payment of rental or other payments hereunder after the occurrence of an event of default shall not be construed as an accord and satisfaction, compromise or waiver of such default, unless Landlord so notifies Tenant in writing. Forbearance by Landlord in enforcing one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such defaulter of Landlord’s right to enforce any such remedies with respect to such default or any subsequent default.
 
(h)                      If either Landlord or Tenant shall institute any action or proceeding against the other relating to any of the terms, covenants; conditions or provisions of this Lease, or there occurs any event of default by Tenant or default by Landlord, the unsuccessful party in such action or proceeding shall reimburse the successful party for reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred therein by the successful party, including fees, costs and expenses incurred in any appellate proceeding.
 
24.                    QUIET ENJOYMENT.
 
Tenant upon paying the Rent and all Additional Rent and all other sums and charges herein provided for and, upon observing, keeping, and performing all covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed, kept and performed, shall quietly have and enjoy the Premises throughout the Lease Term without hindrance or molestation by Landlord or by anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject however, to the exceptions, reservations and conditions of this Lease.
 
25.                    DAMAGE BY FIRE, ETC.
 
(a)                       Landlord agrees to maintain standard fire and extended coverage insurance covering the Building(s) in an amount not less than the full “replacement cost” thereof (as such term is defined in the Replacement Cost Endorsement to be attached thereto, if any) insuring against the perils of fire and lightning and including extended coverage, and earthquake and flood coverage, or at Landlord’s option, “All Risk” coverage, with earthquake and flood, coverage, all such coverages and endorsements to be as defined, provided and limited in the standard bureau forms prescribed by the insurance regulatory
authority for the state in which the property is situated for use by insurance companies admitted in such State for the writing of such insurance, on risks located within such state. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 25(c), 25(d) and 25(f), such insurance shall be for the sole benefit of Landlord and under its sole control. Such insurance shall include protection for continuation of rental payments for a period of 12 months in the event of any damage caused by the perils referred to above. Said payments shall be made to Landlord within thirty (30) days after presentation to Tenant of Landlord’s statement setting forth the amount due, and the failure to pay such share shall be treated in the same manner as a default in the payment of rent hereunder when due. Any payment to be made pursuant to this Paragraph with respect to the year in which the Lease 

commences or terminates shall be prorated. Tenant shall not take but separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained by Landlord hereunder unless Landlord is included as an additional insured thereon. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord whenever any such separate insurance is taken out and shall promptly deliver to Landlord the policy or policies of such insurance.
 
(b)                      If the Building should be damaged or destroyed by fire, tornado or any other act of God, Tenant shall give immediate written notice thereof to Landlord.
 
(c)                       If the Building should be damaged by any peril covered by the insurance to be provided by Landlord under Paragraph 25(a), but only to such extent that the Building can in Landlord’s estimation be materially restored within one hundred eight (180) days after the date of such damage (except, that Landlord may elect not to rebuild if such damage occurs during the last year of the Term, unless Tenant has exercised its option to renew the term of this Lease within fifteen (15) days after the date of the casualty, this Lease shall not terminate, and Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, thereupon proceed with reasonable, diligence to rebuild and repair such Building to substantially the condition in which it existed prior to such damage, except Landlord shall not he required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the partitions, fixtures, additions and other improvements which may have been placed in, on or about the Premises by Tenant. If the Premises are untenantable in whole or in part following such damage, the rent and all additional rent payable hereunder during the period in which the Premises are untenantable until materially restored shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under all of the circumstances. In the event that (i) under the circumstances then prevailing, it cannot be reasonably projected that Landlord can materially restore the damage within 180 days after such damage has occurred, (ii) such damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance, (iii) a material portion of the Premises is damaged at a time when there is less than one year left on the unelapsed Term, or (iv) Landlord, having commenced the restoration work, should fail to materially restore the Building Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such damage, Tenant may (if it has given Landlord at least thirty (30) days notice of its intent to do so) at its option terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord as Tenant’s exclusive remedy, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate; provided, however, that if construction is delayed because of changes, deletions; or additions in construction requested by Tenant, strikes, lockouts, casualties, acts of God, war, material or labor shortages, Governmental regulation or control or other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, the period for restoration, repair or rebuilding shall be extended for the amount of time Landlord is so delayed. For purposes hereof, the Building or Premises shall be deemed “materially restored” if they are in such condition as would not prevent or materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the purpose for which it was then being used.
 
If the Building should be damaged or destroyed by fire, tornado or any other act of God and Landlord is not required to rebuild pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 25(c), this Lease shall at the option of Landlord or Tenant, given within 30 days after such damage, terminate and the rent and additional rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of the Term of this Lease, effective upon the date of the occurrence of such damage.
 
(d)                      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the holder of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises or the Building requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within 15 days after such requirement is made by any such holder, whereupon this Lease shall end on the date of such notice to Tenant as if the date of such notice were the date originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term.
 
(e)                       In the event of any damage or destruction to the Premises by any peril covered by the provisions of this Paragraph, Tenant shall, upon notice from Landlord, forthwith remove; at its, sole cost and expense, such portion or all of Tenant’s shelves, bins, machinery and other trade fixtures and all other property belonging to Tenant or his licensees from such portion or all of the Premises as Landlord shall request and Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord (including without limitation the trustee and beneficiaries if Landlord is a trust), Landlord’s agents and employees harmless from any loss, liability, claims, suits, costs, expenses, including attorney’s fees and damages, both real and alleged, arising out of any damage or injury as a result of the failure to properly secure the Premises prior to such removal and/or as a result of such removal.
 
26.                    EMINENT DOMAIN.
 
(a)                       If the whole, or any part of the Building should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof and the taking would prevent or materially interfere with the use of the Premises or Building for the purposes for which they are then being used, as determined by Tenant in its sole discretion, Tenant may, at its option by notice to Landlord, terminate this Lease effective when the physical taking of said property shall occur.
 

(b)                      If part of the Building, shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, and this Lease is not terminated as provided in Paragraph 25(a), this Lease shall not terminate but the rent payable hereunder during the unexpired portion of the Term of this Lease shall be reduced to such extent, if at all, as may be fair and reasonable under all of the circumstances and Landlord shall undertake to restore the Premises to a condition suitable for Tenant’s use, as near to the condition thereof immediately prior to such taking as is reasonably feasible under all the circumstances.
 
(c)                       In the event of any such taking or private purchase in lieu thereof Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to receive and retain such separate awards and/or portion of lump sum awards as may be allocated to their respective interests in any condemnation proceedings; provided that Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any award for Tenant’s loss of its leasehold interest, the right to such award
being hereby assigned by Tenant to Landlord.
 
27.                    SALE BY LANDLORD.
 
In event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Building to a purchaser which assumes Landlord’s obligations hereunder in writing, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any future liability upon any of the covenants or conditions expressed or implied, herein contained in favor of Tenant, and in such event Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor in interest of Landlord in and to this Lease. Except as set forth in this Paragraph this Lease shall not be affected by any such sale, and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or Landlord’s assignee. If any security has been given by Tenant to secure the faithful performance of any of the covenants of this Lease, Landlord may transfer or deliver said security, as such, to Landlord’s successor in interest and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with regard to said security, provided that any successor shall not be liable for such security unless such successor receives the same. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, this provision shall not serve to release or relieve the entity identified as Landlord first above written (namely, TriQuint Optoelectronics, Inc.), or any affiliate thereof, from their respective obligations to Tenant under that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of April 14, 2005 between said Landlord and Tenant.
 
28.                    ESTOPPEL CERITIFICATES.
 
Within ten business days following receipt of written request which Landlord may make from time to time, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord or any prospective Landlord or mortgagee or prospective mortgagee a sworn statement certifying: (a) the date of commencement of this Lease, (b) the fact that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications hereto, that this Lease is in frill force and effect, as modified, and stating the date and nature of such modifications), (c) the date to which the rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid, and (d) the fact that there are no current defaults under this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant except as specified in Tenant’s statement, and (e) such other matters requested by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary or purchaser and Tenant shall be liable for all loss, cost or expense resulting from the failure of any sale or funding of any loan caused by any material misstatement contained in such estoppel certificate. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord or if Landlord is a trust, Landlord’s beneficiary or agent, as attorney-in-fact for Tenant with full power and authority to execute and deliver in the name of Tenant such estoppel certificate. If Tenant fails to deliver the same within such ten (10) day period and such certificate as signed by Landlord, Landlord’s beneficiary or agent, as the case may be, shall be fully binding on Tenant, if Tenant fails to deliver a contrary certificate within five days after receipt by Tenant of a copy of the certificate executed by Landlord, Landlord’s beneficiary or agent, as the case may be, on behalf of Tenant.
 
29.                    SURRENDER OF PREMISES.
 
Tenant shall, at least 90 days before the last day of the Term arrange to meet Landlord for a joint inspection of the Premises. In the event of Tenant’s failure to arrange such joint inspection, Landlord’s
inspection at or after Tenant’s vacating the Premises shall be conclusively deemed correct for purpose of determining Tenant’s responsibility for repairs and restoration.
 
At the end of the Term or any renewal thereof or other sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant will peaceably deliver up to Landlord possession of the Premises, together with all improvements or additions upon or belonging to the same, by whomsoever made, in the same condition as received or first installed broom clean and free of all debris, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire, earthquake, Act of God, or the elements alone excepted. Tenant may, upon termination of this Lease, remove all movable partitions of less than full height from floor to ceiling, counters, and other personal property and trade fixtures of Tenant removable without material damage to such property or the Premises previously installed by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost, title to which shall be in Tenant until such termination repairing such damage caused by such removal. Property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and title to the same shall thereupon pass to Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of sale. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall remove any or all permanent improvements or additions to the Premises installed at Tenant’s cost and all movable partitions, counters and other personal property of Tenant removable without material damage to such property or the Premises which may be left by Tenant and repair any damage resulting from such removal. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including without limitation any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on such delay.
 
All obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed as of the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount, as estimated by Landlord, necessary: (i) to repair, restore and broom clean the Premises as provided herein, removing Tenant’s personal property if necessary; and (ii) to discharge Tenant’s obligation for unpaid amounts due Landlord. All such amounts shall be used and held by Landlord for payment of such obligations of Tenant, with Tenant being liable for any additional costs upon demand by Landlord, or with any excess to be returned to Tenant after all such obligations have been determined and satisfied.

W I T N E S S E T H:
 
WHEREAS, Landlord is the holder of a fee interest in the real property commonly ILLEGIBLE as TEK Park, Breinigsville, Pennsylvania (the “Property”), a portion of which consists of 769 square feet of rentable floor area in a building at 9999 Hamilton Boulevard, Breningsville, Lehigh ILLEGIBLE, Pennsylvania (the “Premises”) is leased to Tenant pursuant to a Lease, dated as of April 29, ILLEGIBLE between the Tenant and Landlord’s predecessor in interest TriQuint Optoelectronics, Inc.

WHEREAS, Lender has agreed to make a certain mortgage loan (the “Loan”) to ILLEGIBLE, which will be evidenced by Landlord’s Promissory Note in such amount (the “Note”) and ILLEGIBLE by, among other things, a certain Construction Loan Agreement, Mortgage, Security Agreement, ILLEGIBLE of Rents and Leases, Collateral Security Agreement, Collateral Assignment Security ILLEGIBLE and all other related security and loan documents of even date (the “Mortgage”) encumbering Property, which Mortgage is to be recorded contemporaneously herewith;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements ILLEGIBLE herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are ILLEGIBLE acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1.  Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, ILLEGIBLE subordinates and subjects the Lease and the leasehold estate created thereby and all of Tenant’s ILLEGIBLE thereunder to the Mortgage and the liens thereof and all advances and rights of Lender thereunder ILLEGIBLE to any and all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, as fully ILLEGIBLE as if the Mortgage and all of its renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions ILLEGIBLE been executed, delivered and recorded prior to execution of the Lease.

2.  Non-Disturbance. If, at any time, Lender or any of Lender’s successors or assigns who shall acquire the interest of Landlord under the Lease through a foreclosure of the Mortgage, the exercise of the power of sale under the Mortgage, a deed-in-Iieu of foreclosure or otherwise (such party being a “New Owner”) shall succeed to the interests of Landlord under the Lease, then so long as (i) the Lease is then in full force and effect, and (ii) no default shall have occurred and be continuing (collectively, a “Default”) by Tenant under the Lease, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the New Owner, as successor Landlord and Tenant, upon and subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof, Tenant hereby agrees to attorn to and accept any such New Owner as landlord under the Lease and to be bound by and perform all of the obligations imposed by the Lease, and Lender, or any such New Owner of the Property, agrees that it will not disturb the possession of Tenant and will be bound by all of the obligations imposed on the Landlord by the Lease; provided, however, that any New Owner shall not be:
 
(a) liable for any act or omission of a prior landlord (including Landlord) arising prior to the date upon which the New Owner shall succeed to the interests of Landlord under the Lease; or
 

(b) subject to any claims, offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord) arising prior to the date upon which the New Owner shall succeed to the interests of Landlord under the Lease; or
 
(c) bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord) for a period in excess of one (1) month or by any security deposit, cleaning deposit or other prepaid charge which Tenant might have paid in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord), except to the extent that such New Owner actually comes into exclusive possession of the same; or

Nothing contained herein shall prevent Lender from naming or joining Tenant in any foreclosure or other action or proceeding initiated by Lender pursuant to the Mortgage to the extent necessary under applicable law in order for Lender to avail itself of and complete the foreclosure or other remedy, but such naming or joinder shall not be in derogation of the rights of Tenant as set forth in this Agreement.

Matt, may this e-mail serve as confirmation of receipt of notice to renew. We will continue to work towards defining responsibilities and costs associated with both Landlord’s and Cyoptic’s obligations as defined (or not) under the current lease. I have presented a draft lease form which, once terms are finalized, we would hope to migrate to effective April 1, 2007, recognizing that the current lease does not truly reflect a realistic structure for Cyoptic’s tenancy at TEK Park.
 
We value the relationship we have been able to develop over the past 18 months, and appreciate the co-operation in helping to evolve TEK Park into a premier technology campus. All indications are that we are on our way to making TEK the success we know it can be.

Annual Base Rent will be $10.50 per square foot for 103,000 square feet of leased premises, which equals $1,081,500.00 per year, payable in equal monthly installments of $90,125.00.

With regard to your 2009 utility expenses, we have increased your monthly expense to $200,000 per month from April 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 in an effort to reduce the amount of Cyoptic’s shortfall at the end of the year.
