block off access to portions of such public areas if Landlord deems it desirable or appropriate to
do so provided Tenant, its employees and invitees shall always have reasonable access to the
Premises and Tenant’s parking area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may charge a fee (to
be retained by Landlord as its sole property), which fee shall be charged on a consistent basis
with all other tenants in the Building, for use of conference room(s), auditorium(s) and other
similar facilities in the Building and may determine in its sole discretion the scheduling for
usage thereof by tenants; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any
conference rooms, auditoriums or similar facilities in the Project. All the windows and outside
walls of the Premises, and any space in the Premises used for shafts, pipes, conduits, ducts,
telephone ducts and equipment, electric or other utilities, sinks or other Project or Building
facilities, and the use thereof and access thereto through the Premises for the purposes of
operation, maintenance, inspection, display and repairs are hereby reserved for use in common by
Landlord and Tenant. No easement for light, air or view is granted or implied hereunder, and the
reduction or elimination of Tenant’s light, air or view will not affect Tenant’s liability or
obligations under this Lease.

               (e) Parking Areas. Tenant shall have the right to use, without additional charge, a
minimum of three hundred twenty-eight (328) parking spaces, such parking spaces to be located in
that portion of the parking area in the Property designated on Exhibit A-3 as “FabTech
Parking Area” for use by Tenant and its employees and visitors, subject, however, to the other
terms and provisions of this Lease. Such parking spaces shall be available for use by Tenant and
its employees on a non-exclusive basis in common with others entitled thereto. Tenant agrees to
furnish Landlord upon request with the license numbers of all automobiles of Tenant and its
employees, and agrees to update such list annually or upon the reasonable request of Landlord. If
Tenant or its employees shall park their automobiles in areas other than appropriate areas
designated on Exhibit A-3, Landlord shall have the right with respect to each such
automobile (i) to affix a notice of violation of this rule on such automobiles, (ii) to have such
automobiles removed at Tenant’s expense (and Landlord shall have no liability in connection with
any damage to such automobile resulting therefrom), and/or (iii) to fine Tenant $20 per day for
each day or portion thereof such automobile(s) are parked in violation of this provision. Landlord

Premises. Tenant and its employees shall not park their automobiles within any fire lanes or
driveways on the Property or within any areas in which parking is prohibited by applicable
governing ordinance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless in connection with a permitted sublease
or assignment pursuant to Section 10 hereof, Tenant shall not be permitted to sublet or assign the
right to use any of the parking spaces or parking areas described in this Paragraph 1(e).

          2. TERM.

               (a) Term. The term of this Lease (the “Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and
shall expire at 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2013 (the “Expiration Date”), unless sooner terminated
as herein provided.

               (b) Early Termination Right. Effective any time after June 30, 2011, upon at least
twelve (12) months prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
Lease upon the date specified in such notice (such date, hereinafter, the “Early Termination
Date”). For any such notice to be effective, Landlord must receive a termination fee, on or before
the Early Termination Date, equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount of Base Rental that
otherwise would have been owed for the remainder of the Term from the Early Termination Date (not
to exceed $718,665.90).

          3. RENTAL.

               (a) Base Rental. Tenant shall pay to Landlord at the address of Landlord indicated
herein, or at such other place as Landlord may designate in writing, without demand, deduction or
setoff, base rental (said rent, as the same may be adjusted from time to time, is herein referred
to as the “Base Rental”), due and payable in monthly installments (the “Monthly Base Rental”) in
advance commencing on the Effective Date and continuing thereafter on the first (1st) day of each
calendar month during the Term (hereinafter, a “Payment Date”). The Monthly Base Rental due and
payable during the Term shall be in amounts as set forth below:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Base Rental per RSF	 	Monthly
	Dates	 	of the Primary Premises	 	Base Rental
	September 1, 2006

through

	 	
$19.00	 	
$116,826.25
	June 30, 2011
	 	 	 	 
	July 1, 2011

through

	 	
$19.48	 	
$119,777.65
	June 30, 2012
	 	 	 	 
	July 1, 2012

through

	 	
$19.97	 	
$122,790.54
	June 30, 2013

	 	 	Base Rental per RSF	 	Monthly
	Dates	 	of the Primary Premises	 	Base Rental
	July 1, 2013

through

	 	
$20.47	 	
$125,864.91
	December 31, 2013
	 	 	 	 

Should this Lease terminate on any date other than the last day of a calendar month, the amount of
Base Rental (and consequently the amount of the Monthly Base Rental) due from Tenant shall be
proportionately adjusted based on that portion of the month that this Lease is in effect. Tenant
shall also pay all other sums of money that shall become due from Tenant under this Lease other
than Base Rental (“Additional Rent”) without deduction, offset or counterclaim within the time
periods set forth herein, and if no such period is established, then within fifteen (15) days of
receipt of Landlord’s written demand therefor containing the amount due and a reasonably detailed
statement as to the nature of such Additional Rent. As used in this Lease, “Rent” shall mean Base
Rental and Additional Rent.

               (b) No Setoff Deduction, Counterclaim or Abatement. Tenant shall pay any and all Base
Rental, Additional Rent and costs, expenses and obligations of every kind and nature whatsoever
relating to the Premises without setoff, deduction, counterclaim or abatement, except as
specifically and expressly (and not impliedly) provided in this Lease.

               (c) Use and Occupancy Tax. Tenant shall also pay before any penalties or fines are
assessed to the appropriate governmental authority any use and occupancy tax in connection with the
Premises. In the event Landlord is required by law to collect such tax, Tenant shall pay such use
and occupancy tax to Landlord as Additional Rent within fifteen (15) days of demand and Landlord
shall remit any amounts so paid to Landlord to the appropriate governmental authority in a timely
fashion.

               (d) Utility Charges. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the cost of
all utility services used by Tenant at or in connection with the Premises as determined by
sub-meter. Tenant shall be invoiced, on a monthly basis, at Landlord’s actual average cost per
kilowatt-hour, or (if it is able to be determined) based on the actual tariff rate for electricity
supplied to the Project, as determined by the monthly utility company invoice. If some or all of
the sub-meters are not operable for any period of time during the Term hereof, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord an amount (for such utility services used during such time period that the sub-meter(s)
are inoperable) as determined in Landlord’s reasonable judgment of Tenant’s usage based upon past
meter readings at the Premises, and all other available relevant data.

               (e) Additional Rent not Base Rental. Tenant’s payments of Additional Rent shall not
be deemed payments of Base Rental as that term is construed relative to governmental wage and price
controls or analogous governmental actions affecting the amount of Rent which Landlord may charge
Tenant for the Premises.

               (f) Late Charge. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s failure to pay Base Rental and
Additional Rent promptly may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs

5

 

which are impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain and may include, without limitation,
processing and accounting charges and late charges imposed on Landlord by any ground lease,
mortgage or deed of trust. As a result, if Landlord does not receive any payment within ten (10)
days of the due date, Tenant shall pay Landlord, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the
overdue amount, compounded monthly, which charge Landlord and Tenant agree represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment. Landlord’s
acceptance of the late charge shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with
respect to any overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies
granted under this Lease and/or applicable law.

          4. DELIVERY OF THE PREMISES.

          On the Effective Date, Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant, in “AS IS, WHERE IS,”
condition, subject to all defects, if any.

          5. ACCEPTANCE OF THE PREMISES.

          Tenant hereby accepts possession of the Premises effective as of the Effective Date and hereby
acknowledges and agrees that the Premises are in good and satisfactory order, condition and repair
for the use intended under this Lease. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, keep the
Premises and every part thereof, other than exterior portions (exterior walls, roof, etc.) and
structural components, in good condition and repair, excluding, however, any damage thereto from
(a) fire or other casualty, (b) ordinary wear and tear, (c) condemnation, (d) the negligent acts or
willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, invitees, contractors, subcontractors and
others for whom Landlord is legally responsible, and (e) any breach of any of Landlord’s
obligations under this Lease alone excepted. Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to
alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof except as
otherwise expressly provided herein or agreed upon in writing by Landlord, and the parties hereto
affirm that Landlord has made no representations to Tenant respecting the condition of the
Premises, the Building or the Property except as specifically herein set forth in writing.

          6. USE.

               (a) The Primary Premises hereby leased may be used only for general office use and the
manufacture of semi-conductors and uses accessory and incidental thereto and no other uses.

conditions of this Lease, of a system for the delivery of silane gas to the Premises.

               (e) The Hydrogen Area shall be used for the operation by Tenant, subject to all of the other
terms and conditions of this Lease, of systems for the generation of hydrogen and/or oxygen and for
the provision of the same to the Premises, and for no other purpose.

               (f) The Nitrogen Area shall be used for the operation by Tenant, subject to all of the other

its operations and activities so as not to disrupt or interfere with any tenants of Landlord.
Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that any and all of the foregoing permitted uses must be
conducted in accordance with all other terms and provisions of this Lease, including all Legal
Requirements.

               (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in Paragraph 6(a), Tenant shall not use
or occupy the Premises or any portion thereof, permit or suffer the same to be used or occupied
and/or do, or permit or suffer anything to be done, in or on the Premises or any part thereof, that

     (D) Provide a method for the dip tanks located in its production
areas to be automatically dumped in the event of electrical power
failure, on or before June 30, 2007. Within 30 days of execution of
the Lease, Landlord shall pay to Tenant One Hundred Twenty-Eight
Thousand Dollars ($128,000.00) toward the cost and installation of
such system. Tenant shall be responsible for all other costs and
expenses associated with the purchase, installation and operation of
the system. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or
delay approval for installation.

                    (ii) may, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense:

     Install a security card access system for Tenant’s Premises
doors or other reasonable security measures; provided, however, the
location of any such system and its components shall be subject to
the Landlord’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed.

In addition to the foregoing, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that it will not extend or renew
any existing agreement (nor enter into any new agreement) with Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (or
any other entity or individual) with respect to hydrogen and/or nitrogen services and/or systems at
the Property, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may not be unreasonably
withheld, but may be conditioned upon acceptable resolution of issues and discussion between
Landlord and any such system provider, as determined by Landlord in its sole judgment.

               (c) Except for the obligations of Landlord contained in Paragraph 8 below or elsewhere in this
Lease, Tenant will take good care of the Premises and shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost
and expense, for the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of all of the Tenant
Improvements and all other improvements constructed by Tenant or Landlord, as well as the
mechanical equipment, fixtures and appurtenances therein (including, without limitation, any
production lines or facilities, clean rooms, deionized water generation systems, hydrogen systems,
nitrogen systems, oxygen systems, caustic systems, process water systems, water chiller systems,
hot water systems, electric boiler systems,

9

 

compressed air systems, vacuum systems, air handling units, re-circulation units, the Base
Cooling System (as defined at Paragraph 8(e)(i) below), the Tenant’s Specialized Cooling System,
and any other specialized equipment used by Tenant), and will neither commit nor suffer any active
or permissive waste or injury thereof. In addition to the foregoing, except as set forth at
Paragraph 8(e)(v) below, Tenant shall be responsible for the operation, maintenance, repair and
replacement of the Hydrogen and Nitrogen Lines (as defined at Paragraph 8(e)(v) below).
Furthermore, Tenant’s responsibilities also include, but shall not be limited to, janitorial
service, the cleaning of draperies, the shampooing and/or re-stretching of the carpeting located in
the Premises, and the regular painting and decorating of the Premises so as to maintain the
Premises in a good condition and state of repair. All such repair work and maintenance and any
alterations permitted by Landlord shall be done at Tenant’s sole cost and expense by contractors
selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval Landlord agrees not to unreasonably
withhold, condition or delay. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 14 below, Tenant shall, at
Tenant’s expense, promptly repair any injury or damage to the Premises or Building caused by the
misuse or neglect thereof by Tenant, by Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors, customers, employees,
licensees, agents, or invitees permitted or invited (whether by express or implied invitation) on
the Premises by Tenant, or by Tenant moving in or out of the Premises.

               (d) Unless required to be performed pursuant to Paragraphs 7(a) or 7(b) above, or 7(h) below,
Tenant will not, without Landlord’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed), make alterations, additions or improvements in or about Premises (other
than mere decorations) and will not do anything to or on the Premises which will increase the rate
of fire or other insurance on the Building or the Property. Except as set forth on Exhibit
H attached hereto and made a part hereof, all existing alterations, additions and improvements
of a permanent nature made or installed by or on behalf of Tenant in the Premises shall become the
property of Landlord at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Prior to the
installation of any future alterations, additions or improvements of a permanent nature at the
Premises, the parties shall agree in writing (such writing, hereinafter, a “Written Decision”)
whether such items (i) shall remain at the Premises and become the property of the Landlord at the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or (ii) shall be removed by Tenant at the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If Tenant is required to remove any such
alterations, additions or improvements, such removal shall be made at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, and Tenant shall repair and restore the Premises to their condition prior to such
alteration, addition or improvement, reasonable wear and tear, unrepaired casualty, and
condemnation excepted. To the extent, in violation of this Lease, the Tenant installs any
permanent alterations, additions or improvements without obtaining a Written Decision, in addition
to any other right or remedies Landlord may have under this Lease, Landlord reserves the right to
remove any and all of such items and Tenant’s cost and expense. Any sum expended by Landlord in
connection with the removal of any permanent alterations, additions and/or improvements in
accordance with this Section 7(d) shall constitute Additional Rent.

               (e) No later than the last day of the Term or earlier termination as provided herein, Tenant
will remove all Tenant’s personal property and repair all injury done by or in connection with
installation or removal of said property and surrender the Premises (together with all keys, access
cards or entrance passes to the Premises and/or Building) in as good a condition as they were at
the beginning of the Term, reasonable wear and tear, unrepaired casualty, and damage caused by
condemnation, the negligent acts or willful misconduct of

10

 

Landlord, its agents, employees, invitees, contractors, subcontractors and others for whom
Landlord is legally responsible, or any breach of any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease,
excepted. Except as may be agreed by Landlord and Tenant in writing, all property of Tenant
remaining in the Premises after expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall be deemed
conclusively abandoned and may be removed by Landlord, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the
cost of removing the same, other than any property required hereunder or by Landlord to remain on
the Premises, subject however, to Landlord’s right to require Tenant to remove any improvements or
additions made to the Premises by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 7(d) above.

               (f) (i) In doing any work in the Premises, Tenant will use only contractors or
subcontractors consented to by Landlord in writing (which consent Landlord agrees not to
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay) prior to the time such work is commenced.
Further, in connection with any work in the Premises that is expected to (or Landlord
reasonably believes will) cost in excess of $50,000.00, at Tenant’s option, either (A)
Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain prior to commencement of any work in the Premises a
performance and payment bond from its contractor, on the latest edition of the A.I.A. form,
covering such contractor’s obligations, in which Landlord shall be named as a dual obligee,
in the total amount of the cost of the work to be performed, or (B) ALL SUCH CONTRACTORS
APPROVED IN WRITING BY LANDLORD AND THEIR SUBCONTRACTORS AND MATERIALMEN WILL BE REQUIRED TO
EXECUTE AND DELIVER TO LANDLORD A FULL AND FINAL LIEN WAIVER WITH RESPECT TO THE WORK TO BE
PERFORMED OR MATERIALS TO BE PROVIDED BY SUCH CONTRACTOR, SUBCONTRACTOR OR MATERIALMAN IN
ADVANCE OF PERFORMING ANY WORK IN OR PROVIDING ANY MATERIALS TO THE PREMISES.

                    (ii) Tenant shall promptly bond off in a manner reasonably acceptable to Landlord or
otherwise release of record any lien or claim of lien for material or labor claimed against
the Premises or Building, or both, by such contractors, subcontractors or materialmen if
such claim should arise by virtue of work contracted for by Tenant, and hereby indemnifies
and holds Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, expenses or
liabilities including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by Landlord,
as a result of or in any way related to such claims or such liens. All work shall be
performed in accordance with the Legal Requirements. If Tenant fails to bond off in a
manner reasonably acceptable to Landlord or otherwise release of record any such lien within
fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives notice thereof, Landlord may remove such lien by
paying the full amount thereof or by bonding or in any other manner Landlord reasonably
deems appropriate, without investigating the validity thereof and irrespective of the fact
that Tenant may contest the propriety or the amount thereof, and Tenant, upon demand, shall
pay Landlord the amount so paid out by Landlord in connection with the discharge of such
lien, together with expenses incurred in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a consent on the part of Landlord to subject
Landlord’s estate in the Premises to any lien or liability under the laws of the State of
Missouri.

11

 

               (g) All personal property brought into the Premises by Tenant, its employees, licensees and
invitees shall be at the sole risk of Tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable for theft thereof or
of money deposited therein or for any damages thereto, such theft or damage being the sole
responsibility of Tenant.

          (h) (i) Tenant, at its expense, shall comply with all present or future Legal
Requirements affecting the Premises and with any reasonable requirements of the insurance
companies insuring Landlord against damage, loss or liability for accidents in or connected
with the Premises to the extent that the same shall be applicable to (i) Tenant’s particular
manner of use of the Premises (as opposed to its mere use thereof), (ii) alterations and
improvements made by Tenant, or (iii) a breach by Tenant of its obligations under this
Lease, it being understood that Tenant shall not be, and Landlord shall be, responsible for
complying with Legal Requirements or insurance requirements imposed on the Building
generally and which would have to be complied with whether or not Tenant was then in
occupancy of the Premises. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed to impose any
obligation upon Tenant to make any structural changes or repairs unless necessitated by
Tenant’s acts or omissions or by reason of a particular use by Tenant of the Premises.
Landlord shall be responsible for complying with all Legal Requirements affecting the
design, construction and operation of the Building, including structural portions of the
Premises, entrances and common areas, or relating to the performance by Landlord of any
duties or obligations to be performed by it hereunder.

                    (ii) The parties acknowledge that Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act of
1990 and the regulations and rules promulgated thereunder, as all of the same may be amended
and supplemented from time to time (collectively referred to herein as the “ADA”) establish
requirements for accessibility and barrier removal, and that such requirements may or may
not apply to the Premises and the Property depending on, among other things: (1) whether
Tenant’s business is deemed a “public accommodation” or “commercial facility”, (2) whether
such requirements are “readily achievable”, and (3) whether a given alteration affects a
“primary function area” or triggers “path of travel” requirements. The parties hereby agree
that: (a) Landlord shall be responsible for ADA Title III compliance in the common areas,
(b) Tenant shall be responsible for ADA Title III compliance within the Premises, and (c)
Landlord may perform, or require that Tenant perform, and Tenant shall be responsible for
the cost of, ADA Title III “path of travel” requirements within the Premises.

          8. LANDLORD’S SERVICES AND OBLIGATIONS.

               (a) Provided no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) exists, Landlord shall furnish the
following services to the Building:

               (i) Air conditioning and heating for interior common areas of the Property being
actively used (during heating and cooling seasons determined by Landlord) during Ordinary
Business Hours (“Building Standard HVAC Services”). Building Standard HVAC Services shall
not include Tenant Specialized HVAC Systems.

12

 

“Tenant’s Specialized HVAC Systems” shall mean (A) any special space conditioning
systems or equipment required to accommodate Tenant’s operation, or to accommodate
environmental criteria such as temperature, humidity, and odor or particulate contamination
control (including, without limitation, Tenant’s Specialized Cooling System), and (B) the
Base Cooling System.

               (ii) Such security services that Landlord shall elect to provide in its sole and
absolute discretion (it being agreed that Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any
security services).

               (iii) Domestic potable water for drinking, lavatory or toilet purposes (but this shall
not be construed as requiring Landlord to install plumbing facilities in the Premises).

               (iv) Janitorial service for the common areas of the Building, including, but not
limited to, (a) regular sweeping and cleaning of floors, carpets and sidewalks, (b) trash
removal, cleaning and supply provision to restrooms, furniture, walls, ceilings and all
other components of the common areas, and (c) window cleaning, painting or decorating to

               (v) Electricity to operate the Building.

               (vi) Grounds care, including (a) snow removal, (b) the sweeping of walks and parking

and (d) the maintenance of landscaping in a commercially reasonable manner.

                    (vii) General management, including supervision, inspections and management functions.

               (b) Provided no Event of Default exists, Landlord shall furnish the following services to the
Premises:

                    (i) Electricity by providing electric current in reasonable amounts necessary for the uses set
forth at Paragraph 6 (the cost of which shall be paid by Tenant consistent with the provisions of
Paragraph 3(d)).

                    (ii) Periodic changing of Building standard light bulbs in the ceilings (the cost of which
shall be paid by Landlord). Tenant shall be responsible for all other light bulbs at the Premises,
and the changing thereof.

               (c) Tenant shall have the right to install equipment at the Premises, subject to Landlord’s
prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided such
equipment does not exceed the rated electric design of the feeders and substations that serve the
Premises. Landlord shall have the right to designate the bus ducts, panels, and/or substations
that may be used by Tenant. Additionally, Tenant agrees that if any

13

 

new load is added to a source not dedicated to the Tenant’s sole use and tracked by an
existing submeter, Tenant at its sole cost and expense shall install a submeter as directed by the
Landlord.

               (d) Landlord shall not be liable for any damages directly or indirectly, and, except as set
forth below, Tenant shall have no right of set-off or reduction in Rent, resulting from any
interruption in connection with the furnishing of services or utility services referred to herein,
including, but not limited to, any interruption in services or utility services due to breakage,
shortage of labor, shortage of fuel or for any other cause; provided, however, in
the event of interruption or discontinuance of water or electrical service provided by or through
Landlord pursuant to this Lease and such interruption or discontinuance, in the reasonable judgment
of the Tenant, materially interferes with and adversely affects Tenant’s ability to conduct
business in the Premises, then Tenant may deliver notice of such interruption or discontinuance
(which notice for purposes hereof may be made by telephone to (i) Landlord’s project manager or
management agent, and (ii) Landlord; and promptly thereafter confirmed in writing (which written
notice may be delivered by facsimile) to (x) Landlord’s project manager or management agent, and
(y) Landlord, notwithstanding any other notice provision of this Lease to the contrary; such
notice, hereinafter the “Initial Contact”) in which event Landlord shall immediately commence
efforts to remedy the situation. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that such remedy efforts
(hereinafter, “Repair Efforts”) may include, particularly in the initial stages after receipt of
the Initial Contact, conducting appropriate analysis, investigation and diagnostic due diligence to
determine the extent of any problem and an appropriate solution, and that such efforts may include
contacting service providers and other third party vendors for advice and guidance. After twelve
(12) hours from delivery of the telephonic Initial Contact, Tenant may request Landlord to provide
a status of the Repair Efforts and a summary of the proposed corrective action. In the event of a
service interruption or discontinuance of service that requires Repair Efforts (as described above)
that continues beyond two (2) consecutive days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s telephonic
Initial Contact, Base Rental shall be abated proportionately in an amount equal to the portion of
the Primary Premises rendered unusable commencing on the third (3rd) consecutive day following the
date of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s telephonic Initial Contact. Landlord and Tenant agree that
if such interruption or discontinuance of water or electrical service materially interferes with
and adversely affects Tenant’s ability to conduct business in the Primary Premises, but Tenant does
not totally discontinue operations, then a partial Base Rental reduction shall be provided in
proportion to the amount of the Primary Premises affected by such discontinuance or disruption
which Tenant does not continue to use. Without limitation on the foregoing, under no circumstances
shall Landlord incur liability for damages caused directly or indirectly by any malfunction of any
of Tenant’s computer systems, production lines or facilities, or any clean rooms, or any deionized
water generation systems, hydrogen systems, nitrogen systems, oxygen systems, caustic systems,
process water systems, water chiller systems, hot water systems, electric boiler systems,
compressed air systems, vacuum systems, air handling units, re-circulation units, the Base Cooling
System, the Tenant’s Specialized Cooling System, any other specialized equipment used by Tenant, or
the Hydrogen and Nitrogen Lines, resulting from or arising out of the failure or malfunction of any
electrical, air conditioning, chilled water or other system serving the Building, and Tenant hereby
expressly waives the right to make any such claim against Landlord. In no event shall Landlord be
liable for special, exemplary or consequential damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event of an interruption or discontinuance of services

14

 

which materially and adversely affects Tenant’s ability to conduct its business in the
Premises, Landlord agrees to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to promptly restore such
services.

               (e) (i) Landlord shall provide a dedicated cooling system (the “Base Cooling
System”) consisting of two 500 ton air-cooled chillers and all associated plumbing,
electric and controls to provide cooling capacity for Tenant’s office and support
space only, as depicted on Exhibit K attached hereto and made a part hereof.
Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) as of the date hereof, Landlord has
installed the Base Cooling System, and (ii) Landlord has no responsibilities or
obligations with respect to the operation, maintenance, or replacement of the same.
As set forth at Paragraph 7(c) above, Tenant shall be responsible for any and all
costs, fees and expenses for the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of
the Base Cooling System.

                    (ii) To the extent Landlord determines that a screening system is required at
the Nitrogen Area, Landlord shall be responsible, at Landlord’s sole cost and
expense, for any such screening system.

                    (iii) Landlord reserves the right, at its sole cost and expense, to relocate
the nitrogen system (which is currently located in the Nitrogen Area) and/or the
hydrogen system (which is currently located in the Hydrogen Area). In connection
with any such relocation of the nitrogen and/or hydrogen systems, Landlord shall
undertake commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s
operations at the Premises. Additionally, to the extent that any screening systems
(including any permanent structure or building) installed by Tenant existed prior to
such relocation, Landlord shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for
installing a comparable screening system at the relocated site.

                    (iv) To the extent Landlord determines that landscaping is required around the
Hydrogen Area, Nitrogen Area and/or the Storage Area, Landlord shall be responsible,
at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, for such landscaping.

                    (v) Landlord shall be responsible for any damage to those portions of the
service/system lines with respect to the hydrogen and nitrogen systems serving the
Premises that are located under space leased to other tenants (which is not
accessible by Tenant) or located underground, unless such damage is caused by or
results from the negligent acts or omissions of Tenant, or its agents, employees,
licensees or contractors. The entirety of such service/system lines shall
hereinafter be referred to as the “Hydrogen and Nitrogen Lines”, and the portions
for which Landlord shall be responsible for damage (as described above) shall
hereinafter be referred to as the “Obstructed Segments”.

               (f) During the Term, Landlord shall comply with all Legal Requirements, except to the extent
such compliance is the obligation of Tenant, and shall

15

 

perform in a good and workmanlike manner in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements,
all maintenance, repairs and replacements to: (i) the structural components of the Primary
Premises and the FabTech – Basement Area, including without limitation the roof, roofing system,
exterior walls, bearing walls, support beams, foundations, columns, exterior doors and windows and
lateral support to the Primary Premises and the FabTech – Basement Area; (ii) assure water
tightness of the Primary Premises and the FabTech – Basement Area (including caulking of the
flashings) and repairs to the roof, roofing system, curtain walls, windows, and skylights if
required to assure water tightness; (iii) the plumbing, fire sprinkler, electrical and mechanical
lines and equipment associated therewith, including without limitation elevators; (iv) the exterior
improvements to the Property, including walkways, driveways, parking areas, parking area lighting,
if any, shrubbery and landscaping; (v) the glass including cleaning and replacements; (vi) the
Premises caused by the breach of this Lease by the Landlord or the negligent acts (but not
negligent omissions) or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, independent contractors,
representatives or employees; and (vii) the fire suppression system for the Building.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all electrical wiring and equipment (including, without limitation,
all bus ducts, electric panels and any and all other similar equipment) within the Premises shall
be the responsibility of Tenant. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any
interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises while making repairs to the Building or the
Premises.

               (g) Landlord shall have no obligation or liability with respect to or in any way connected
with the Premises, or service to the Premises, except as set forth in the Lease. Landlord shall
not be deemed to have committed a breach of any repair or maintenance obligations unless it makes
repairs negligently or fails to satisfy its repair or maintenance obligations under this Lease
within a reasonable period of time, taking into consideration the nature of the repair or
maintenance to be undertaken and the impact on Tenant of any delay in the performance of such
repair or maintenance.

Remedial Work in compliance with such law, rule, regulation, or order. In the event Tenant shall
fail to commence the Remedial Work in a timely fashion, or shall fail to prosecute diligently the
Remedial Work to completion, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default on the part of
Tenant under the terms of this Lease, and Landlord, in addition

17

 

to any other rights or remedies afforded it hereunder, may, but shall not be obligated to,
cause the Remedial Work to be performed, and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for any and
all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, related thereto upon demand. This
provision shall expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord and
Landlord’s representatives are authorized to enter the Premises at any time to inspect the Remedial

Material which Tenant did not store, release or discharge on or into the Premises or dispose of.

               (d) Indemnification by Landlord / Tenant Termination Right. If due to the activities
of the Landlord, its employees, agents, guests, invitees or contractors, Landlord shall indemnify,
defend, and hold Tenant harmless from and against: (i) any Remedial Work required under any
Environmental Law or by any Governmental Agency in the Premises, the Building or the Property; and
(ii) any claims of third parties for loss, injury, expense, or damage arising out of the presence,
release, or discharge of any Hazardous Materials on, under, in, above, to, or from the Premises,

Landlord shall promptly perform or cause to be performed such Remedial Work in compliance with such
law, rule, regulation, or order. In the event Landlord shall fail to commence such Remedial Work
in a timely fashion, or shall fail to prosecute diligently such Remedial Work to completion, such
failure shall constitute an Event of Default on the part of Landlord under the terms of this Lease,
and Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease without penalty upon ten (10) days prior
written notice thereof to Landlord; provided, however, at any time a Mortgage (as
hereinafter defined) affecting all or any portion of the Premises is outstanding, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in any subordination non-disturbance and attornment agreement (or
such other similar instrument) between the Tenant and Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined), Tenant
shall provide Mortgagee with (i) written notice of Landlord’s failure to timely commence or
diligently prosecute the completion of such Remedial Work, and (ii) thirty (30) days to undertake
the commencement or diligent prosecution of completion, as the case may be, of the same. Should
Mortgagee fail to undertake the commencement or diligent prosecution of completion of such Remedial
Work as aforesaid, Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease without penalty upon ten (10)
days prior written notice thereof to Landlord and Mortgagee.

               (e) Notice. Landlord and Tenant shall:

other correspondence (collectively, “Notices”) from any Government Agency or private party
with respect to Hazardous Materials or knowledge of any Notice or any of the circumstances
described below affecting the Premises, the Building or the Property, notify the other and
provide the other with all copies of any such Notices and any other information pertaining
to the Premises, the Building or the

party under or in accordance with any Environmental Law;

               (D) The institution of any lawsuit under or in accordance with
any Environmental Law by any Governmental Authority or any private
party; or

               (E) The service of a potentially responsible party demand

Authority.

               (ii) Notify the other party immediately of any release, threatened release or discharge
of Hazardous Materials on, under, to or from the Premises, the Building or the Property.

               (f) Right of Entry, Inspection, and Testing. Except in the event of any emergency
(when Landlord may enter without notice of any kind), Landlord and its agents shall have the right
to enter the Premises upon 24 hours notice to Tenant (or, if Tenant provides written notice to
Landlord of the name, address, telephone number and e-mail address of Tenant’s administrative
manager or designee (as the case may be), then such administrative manager or designee) and inspect
the Premises and Tenant’s business operations. Landlord’s entry and inspection shall not interfere
with Tenant’s normal business operations, and, except in the event of any emergency, Landlord shall
provide the opportunity for a representative of Tenant to accompany Landlord or its agents.
Landlord shall be permitted to conduct tests and take samples at the Premises.

               (g) Existing Environmental Building Materials. Tenant acknowledges that the Project
may contain building materials which include asbestos containing materials and wall coverings which
may include lead-based paints (“Existing Environmental Building Materials”). As of the date of
this Lease, the Existing Environmental Building Materials do not violate applicable laws. Tenant
accepts that fact that the Project may contain the Existing Environmental Building Materials.
Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from any costs, expenses, or liabilities,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may arise during the Term in connection with the
Existing Environmental Building Materials.

               (h) Environmental Health and Safety Agreement. The Landlord and Tenant have executed
that certain Environmental Health and Safety Agreement dated October 29, 1999 (the “EHSA”), a copy
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E and made a part hereof.

19

 

The parties hereby agree that any and all references in the EHSA to a “lease” or any other similar
“agreement” shall mean this Lease. Section D.1.b. of the EHSA requires Tenant to collect and store
hazardous waste generated at the Primary Premises (hereinafter, “Tenant Waste”) in “tenant’s
hazardous waste storage area”. Subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this
Lease (including, without limitation, compliance with the EHSA and all Legal Requirements), Tenant
shall be permitted to collect and store such Tenant Waste in the Storage Area. In the event of a
discrepancy between the terms and provisions of this Lease and the EHSA, the terms and provisions
of the EHSA shall control.

          10. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE.

               (a) Except as hereafter provided, Tenant shall not sublet any part of the Premises, nor
assign, pledge or encumber this Lease or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord.
Landlord shall be entitled to deny consent to an assignment of this Lease if, by way of
illustration but not limitation, the financial statements of the proposed assignee do not
demonstrate such assignee’s ability to comply with Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Consent by
Landlord to one assignment or sublease shall not destroy or waive Landlord’s required consent as to
any subsequent assignment or subletting, and all later assignments and subleases shall likewise be
made only upon prior written consent of Landlord. In the event an assignment is consented to by
Landlord, any assignees shall become liable directly to Landlord for all obligations of Tenant
hereunder without relieving or in any way modifying Tenant’s liability hereunder, but rather Tenant
and its transferee shall be jointly and severally liable therefor; provided, however, Tenant shall
be relieved of liability hereunder if such transferee assumes all of Tenant’s responsibilities and
obligations hereunder and such transferee, as of the date of such assignment, has a credit rating
equal to or exceeding the credit rating of Tenant as ascribed by either (i) Standard and Poor’s, or
(ii) Moody’s Investors Service. In the event Landlord gives its consent to any such assignment or
sublease (excluding an Affiliate Transfer, as defined below), one hundred percent (100%) of any
rent or other cost to the assignee or subtenant for all or any portion of the Premises over and
above the Rent payable by Tenant for such space shall be retained by Tenant. In the event a
sublease or assignment is made as herein provided, Tenant shall pay Landlord a charge equal to the
actual costs incurred by Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment (including, but not limited
to, the use and time of Landlord’s personnel), for all of the necessary legal and accounting
services required to accomplish such assignment or subletting, as the case may be. Any transfer,
assignment or sublease of all or any portion of the Premises or Tenant’s interest under this Lease
made without Landlord’s consent shall be void and of no force or effect.

               (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant named herein, FabTech, Inc. (“FabTech”) may assign
this Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises to (i) any wholly owned subsidiary of FabTech, so
long as it remains as such, (ii) Diodes, Inc. a Delaware corporation (hereinafter, the “Parent”),
so long as such Parent owns all of the classes of stock of FabTech, or (iii) LITE-ON Semiconductor
Corporation, a Taiwanese corporation (“LITE-ON Semiconductor”), or any wholly owned subsidiary
thereof. The assignments and sublettings permitted by clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are hereinafter
called “Affiliate Transfers”. An Affiliate

20

 

Transfer may only be made upon prior written notice to Landlord, but shall not require Landlord’s consent.

               (c) Except as set forth at Section 10(a) above, in the event of any assignment of this Lease
or sublease of all or a part of the Premises, Tenant shall not be released from any of its
obligations under this Lease. In the event this Lease has been assigned by Tenant, either with the
approval and consent of Landlord or to a permitted assignee, and the original Tenant named herein
has not been released by Landlord from liability with respect to such assignment, Landlord agrees
to give Tenant a copy of any notice of default given by Landlord to such assignee and the same
opportunity to cure the default of such assignee as is given to such assignee under this Lease,
including the right to regain possession if such assignee is in default under its obligations of
this Lease. In the event of an Event of Default by such assignee, at Tenant’s request and at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, the payment by Tenant of Landlord’s
reasonable attorneys’ fees), Landlord agrees to terminate this Lease as to such assignee and to
enter into a replacement lease with Tenant for the balance of the remaining Term hereof under the
same terms and conditions herein set forth as applicable to the Premises, provided that Tenant
cures all such defaults by such assignee.

          11. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

               (a) Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises or the Building of
which Tenant has actual knowledge occasioned by storm, earthquake, fire, the elements, casualty or
any other cause (a “Casualty”). If the Premises are totally destroyed (or so substantially damaged
as to be untenantable in the reasonable determination of an architect selected by Landlord
(“Architect”) by a Casualty, then within sixty (60) days from the date of such Casualty (the
“Evaluation Period”):

               (i) Landlord shall determine, based upon information from Landlord’s insurance company,
whether Landlord will receive (in a timely manner) adequate insurance proceeds to complete
the required repairs to or restoration of the Premises;

               (ii) Landlord shall determine from the holder of any mortgage, deed of trust,
indenture, deed to secure debt or other similar instrument encumbering the Property whether
Landlord will be allowed to apply such insurance proceeds to the required repair or
restoration instead of applying such proceeds toward the reduction of any indebtedness
secured by the Property;

               (iii) Landlord shall determine if the zoning laws or building codes then in existence
will permit the reconstruction of the Building as of right (without variance); and

21

 

               (iv) Landlord shall engage a reputable contractor to determine the length of time
expected to repair or restore the Premises.

     If during the Evaluation Period (A) Landlord determines either that it will not receive
sufficient insurance proceeds to complete the required repair or restoration or will not be allowed
by the holder of any mortgage or deed to secure debt encumbering any portion of the Property to
apply such proceeds to the required repair or restoration, (B) Landlord determines that the zoning
laws or building codes then in existence will not permit the reconstruction of the Building as of
right (without variance), (C) in the determination of Landlord’s contractor, the Premises cannot
reasonably be repaired, replaced or restored within one hundred eighty (180) days after
commencement of repairs or restoration, or (D) this Lease is in the last eighteen (18) months of
its Term, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence
of the Casualty by giving written notice to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after the end of the
Evaluation Period. If (X) in the determination of Landlord’s contractor the Premises cannot
reasonably be repaired, replaced or restored within one hundred eighty (180) days after
commencement of repairs or restoration, or (Y) this Lease is in the last eighteen (18) months of
its Term, and in either case the Casualty was not the result of any willful misconduct of Tenant,
its agents, servants, employees or subtenants, Tenant also shall have the option to terminate this
Lease as of the date of the occurrence of the Casualty by giving written notice to Landlord within
fifteen (15) days after the later of (i) the end of the Evaluation Period and (ii) the date Tenant
receives the determination of Landlord’s contractor regarding how long it will take to repair,
replace or restore the Premises.

               (b) Unless this Lease is terminated pursuant to Paragraph 11(a) above, in the event of damage
to the Premises or the Building occasioned by a Casualty, Landlord shall, subject to the provisions
of Paragraph 11(d) below, promptly commence and thereafter pursue diligently and as expeditiously
as practicable, the repair and restoration of damage to the Premises, using standard working
methods and procedures:

               (c) Unless the damage to the Premises, the Building or services to the Premises is caused by
the intentional acts of Tenant, its permitted assignees or subtenants, employees or agents, the
Rent shall abate in proportion to that part of the Premises rendered unfit for use by Tenant for
Tenant’s permitted use described in Paragraph 6(a) above as a result of such damage (which for such
purposes shall include damage to the Building or to services to the Premises if the Premises are
thereby rendered unfit for Tenant’s permitted use). The nature and extent of interference to
Tenant’s ability to use the Premises for Tenant’s permitted use shall be considered in determining
the amount of said abatement, and the abatement shall commence and continue from the date the
Casualty occurred until ten (10) days after the date Landlord substantially completes the repair
and restoration of the Premises and gives notice to Tenant that said repairs and restoration are
substantially completed, or until Tenant again uses the Premises or the portions thereof rendered
unusable, whichever occurs first. Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, if
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Premises has been so damaged or destroyed as to render
such damaged or destroyed portion unfit for Tenant’s permitted use, such damage or destruction was
not caused by the intentional acts of Tenant, its permitted assignees or subtenants, employees or
agents, and if Tenant vacates the entire Premises

22

 

during the period of repair or restoration, then Rent shall abate in its entirety during the period of repair or restoration.

               (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained or implied elsewhere in this Lease,
Landlord is not and shall not be obligated to repair or restore damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures,
furniture, furnishings, equipment or other personal property, or any Tenant Improvements or other
improvements made to the Premises by Tenant.

               (e) If either party terminates this Lease consistent with the provisions of Paragraph 11 (a)
above, the Rent (including any Additional Rent, and other charges due hereunder) shall be payable
up to the termination date, after taking into account any applicable abatement. Landlord shall
promptly refund to Tenant any prepaid, unaccrued Rent and Additional Rent (after taking into
account any applicable abatement), less any sums then owing by Tenant to Landlord.

          12. CONDEMNATION.

          If all of the Premises, (or a part of the Premises such that the remainder of the Premises in
the reasonable judgment of the Architect is not reasonably usable for Tenant’s permitted use
described in Paragraph 6(a) above), are taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain or other
similar proceeding (or are conveyed by Landlord in lieu of such taking), this Lease will terminate
on a date which is the earlier of the date upon which the condemning authority takes possession of
the Premises or the date on which title to the Premises is vested in the condemning authority. In
the event of a partial taking where this Lease is not terminated, the Base Rental and Additional
Rent will be abated in the proportion of the rentable area of the Premises so taken to the rentable
area of the Premises immediately before such taking. In the event of any such taking, the entire
award relating to the Building or the Property will be paid to Landlord, and Tenant will have no
right or claim to any part of such award; however, Tenant will have the right to assert a claim
against the condemning authority, so long as Landlord’s award is not reduced or otherwise impacted
as a consequence of such claim, for Tenant’s moving expenses, the Tenant Improvements and trade
fixtures owned by Tenant and interruption to Tenant’s business.

          13. INSURANCE.

               (a) Tenant shall carry (at its sole expense from and after the date hereof and during the
Term) the following insurance:

               (i) Commercial property insurance with special causes of loss coverage (including
earthquake and flood insurance as appropriate), or its equivalent, insuring the Tenant

               (ii) boiler and machinery insurance and boiler broad form insurance with respect to the

agents, representatives or contractors, which policy shall have a per occurrence limit of
$1,000,000, aggregate $2,000,000, an umbrella of $5,000,000 for any bodily injury or

will contain a provision requiring thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and any other
additional insured of any material change to such policy, or if the policy is cancelled or not
renewed (other than for non-payment of the applicable premium, in which event only ten (10) days
prior notice of cancellation or non-renewal shall be required).

          (b) Throughout the making of any alterations or improvements (other than mere decorations) by
Tenant, its agents, contractors or employees, Tenant or Tenant’s contractor(s), at its expense,

          14. SUBROGATION AND WAIVER.

25

 

          Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, to the full extent permitted by law,
Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives any and all rights of recovery, claim, action or cause of
action, against the other, its agents, servants, partners, shareholders, officers, or employees,
for any loss or damage that may occur to the Premises or the Property, or any improvements thereto,
or any personal property of such party therein, by reason of fire, the elements, or any other cause
to the extent such loss or damage is covered by the terms of a valid and collectible commercial
property insurance policy with special causes of loss coverage in effect at the time of such loss
(or would have been covered under any such insurance required by this Lease to be maintained by a
party) regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of the other party hereto, its agents,
officers, partners, shareholders, servants, or employees, and covenants that no insurer shall hold
any right of subrogation against such other party. Landlord and Tenant will cause their respective
insurers to issue appropriate waiver of subrogation rights endorsements to all policies of
commercial property insurance policy with special causes of loss coverage carried in connection
with the Property and the Premises; provided that the foregoing waiver by each party is conditioned
upon the other party’s carrying insurance with the above described waiver of subrogation, and if
such coverage is not obtained or maintained by either party, then the other party’s waiver shall be
deemed rescinded until such waiver is either obtained or reinstated.

          15. INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS.

               (a) Tenant does hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against
any and all liability for any injury to or death of any person or persons or any damage to property
occurring during the Term hereof and in any way arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s use
or occupancy of the Premises, or in any way arising out of any activities in or about the Premises,
the Building or other portions of the Property, of Tenant, its assignees or subtenants or of the
respective agents, employees, licensees, contractors or invitees of Tenant or its assignees or
subtenants (collectively, the “Tenant Group”), and from all costs, expenses and liabilities
(including, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in
connection therewith, excepting however, liability caused by or resulting from the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees, licensees or contractors.

               (b) Landlord does hereby agree, to defend, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against
any claims and actions brought against Tenant by third parties which (i) arise out of any bodily
injury, death or property damage occurring to such third parties at the Project, (ii) are not
caused by any of the Tenant Group, and (iii) are caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful
misconduct.

               (c) Tenant covenants and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any injury to
or death of any person or persons or for damage to any property of Tenant, or any person claiming
through Tenant, arising out of any accident or occurrence in or about the Premises or other
portions of the Building or the Property any of which is caused by the acts or omissions of other
tenants and occupants of the Building. Such events shall include, but not be limited to, injury,
death or damage caused by the Premises or other portions of the Building or the Property becoming
out of repair or caused by any defect in or failure of

26

 

equipment, pipes or wiring, or caused by
broken glass, or caused by the backing up of drains, or caused by gas, water, steam, electricity,
or oil leaking, escaping or flowing into the Premises, or caused by fire or smoke, any of which is
caused by the acts or omissions of other tenants and occupants of the Building.

               (d) Each party agrees to report in writing to the other any significant defective condition in
or about the Premises known to it, and further agrees to attempt to contact the other by telephone
immediately in such instance.

               (d) The obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Paragraph 15 shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

          16. SUBORDINATION AND NON-DISTURBANCE.

               (a) This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to all ground leases, deeds of trust,
deeds to secure debt, indentures, mortgages and any other similar instruments (collectively,
“Mortgages”) which may now or hereafter affect the Premises and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements, and extensions of such Mortgages; provided, Landlord and any owner or
holder of any Mortgages (“Mortgagee”) shall have the right to declare this Lease superior to any or
all Mortgages. This provision is self-executing and no further instrument shall be required to
establish such subordination or superiority. In confirmation of such subordination, at Landlord’s
request, Tenant shall promptly execute any appropriate certificate or instrument that Landlord or
Mortgagee may request and Tenant hereby constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant’s
attorney-in-fact to execute any such certificate or instrument for and on behalf of Tenant. Any
such subordination, attornment and non-disturbance agreement obtained pursuant to or consistent
with the provisions of this Paragraph 16 shall hereinafter be referred to as an “SNDA”.

               (b) After receiving notice and a notice address from any Mortgagee, no notice from Tenant to
Landlord alleging any default by Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is
given to such Mortgagee. Any such Mortgagee shall have thirty (30) days for the cure of any such
default. Mortgagee shall have no obligation to cure (and shall have no liability or obligation for
not curing) any breach or default by Landlord, except to the extent that Mortgagee agrees or
undertakes otherwise in writing. If such default cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty
(30) days, then Mortgagee shall have thirty (30) days within which to commence a cure and provided
such Mortgagee is proceeding diligently, such longer period as may be reasonably necessary to
complete such cure. The curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by such Mortgagee shall be treated as
performance by Landlord.

               (c) With respect to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, or the
rents payable hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to any
Mortgagee, Tenant agrees that the execution thereof by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the
Mortgagee, shall never be deemed an assumption by such Mortgagee of any of the obligations of
Landlord hereunder, unless such Mortgagee shall, by written notice sent to Tenant, specifically
elect, or unless such Mortgagee shall foreclose the Mortgage and take possession of the Premises.
Tenant, upon receipt of written notice from a Mortgagee that such

27

 

Mortgagee is entitled to collect
Rent hereunder may in good faith remit such Rent to Mortgagee without incurring liability to
Landlord for the non-payment of such Rent, and any such payment of Rent to Mortgagee shall be
deemed payment to Landlord.

               (d) If the Mortgagee, or any party deriving its interest therefrom shall succeed to the rights
of Landlord in the Premises or under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action
or delivery of a new lease or deed (the party so succeeding to Landlord’s rights herein sometimes
called the “Successor Landlord”), the Successor Landlord shall be bound by all of the terms of this
Lease and shall be deemed to have assumed all of Landlord’s obligations hereunder first arising
from and after the date the Successor Landlord succeeds to the rights of Landlord in the Premises,
and Tenant shall attorn to and recognize the Successor Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under this
Lease, and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord may
reasonably request to confirm such attornment. This Lease shall continue in full force and effect
as, or as if it were, a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant, and all of the
terms, conditions and covenants set forth in this Lease shall be applicable after such attornment,
except that the Successor Landlord shall not:

               (i) be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord under this Lease;

               (ii) be subject to any offset that shall have theretofore accrued to Tenant against
Landlord; or

               (iii) be bound by:

               (A) any previous modification of this Lease, not expressly
provided for in this Lease unless consented to by such Successor
Landlord;

               (B) any previous prepayment of more than one (1) month’s Rent
or any Additional Rent then due (including any periodic payments
made toward Operating Expenses in the manner provided in this
Lease), unless such prepayment shall have been expressly approved in
writing by the Mortgagee through or by reason of which the Successor
Landlord shall have succeeded to the rights of Landlord under this
Lease;

               (C) any obligation to pay Tenant any sum(s) that Landlord owed
to Tenant (other than amounts specifically set forth in the lease
relating to tenant improvement allowances) unless such sums, if any,
shall have actually been delivered to Successor Landlord by way of
an assumption of escrow accounts or otherwise;

               (D) any obligation to return any security deposited with
Landlord, unless such security was actually delivered to Successor
Landlord;

28

 

               (E) any obligation arising from representations or warranties
related to former Landlord (provided, however, Successor Landlord
shall make such representations and warranties as of the date of
attornment under this Lease); or

               (F) any consensual or negotiated surrender, cancellation, or
termination of this Lease, in whole or in part, agreed upon between
Landlord and Tenant, unless effected pursuant to the express terms
of the Lease or consented to in writing by Successor Landlord.

          The provisions for attornment set forth in this Paragraph 16(d) shall be self-operative and
shall not require the execution of any further instrument. However, any Mortgagee and/or any other
party to whom Tenant agrees to attorn as aforesaid reasonably requests a further instrument
confirming such attornment, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver the same within twenty (20) days
after a request is made to do so in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.

          17. LANDLORD’S RIGHT OF ENTRY.

          Landlord, its agents or employees may enter the Premises (a) at all reasonable times
(including Ordinary Business Hours) upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior notice and
provided Tenant is given the opportunity for a representative of Tenant to accompany Landlord or
its agents (i) to exhibit the Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants of the Building or the
Premises; and (ii) to inspect the Premises to see that Tenant is complying with its obligations
hereunder, and (b) at all reasonable times (including Ordinary Business Hours) and at any time in
the event of an emergency (in either case without prior notice) (i) to make repairs, alterations,
improvements and additions required of Landlord under the terms hereof, or that are advisable in
Landlord’s determination to preserve the integrity, safety and good order of all or any part of the
Premises or the Building, including any systems serving the Building which run through the
Premises, or which may be necessary to comply with applicable laws, ordinances or other
requirements of any governmental entity or agency having jurisdiction; (ii) to provide janitorial
or other services required under this Lease; (iii) to remove any alterations, additions or
improvements made by Tenant in violation of Paragraph 7(d) hereof; and (iv) during the last six (6)
months of the Term, and then only in the event that Tenant has permanently vacated the Premises at
such time, to perform demolition work therein.

          18. DEFAULT; REMEDIES.

               (a) The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of default hereunder by
Tenant (hereinafter, an “Event of Default”):

               (i) The Rent due from Tenant hereunder is not paid within ten (10) days after the date
due (provided, however, not more frequently than once in any consecutive twelve (12) month
period, Landlord agrees to give Tenant written notice of

29

 

Tenant’s failure to timely make a
payment of Rent and Tenant shall have five (5) days from the date such notice is deemed to
have been received pursuant to Paragraph 29 hereof to make such payment of Rent before an
Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred) or any other sum of money due from Tenant
hereunder is not paid within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord;

               (ii) The Premises are abandoned pursuant to Section 441.065 R.S.Mo.;

               (iii) Any petition is filed by or against Tenant under any section or chapter of the
National or Federal Bankruptcy Act or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law, and, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, such
petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the date of such filing; if Tenant
shall become insolvent or transfer property to defraud creditors; if Tenant shall make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors; or if a receiver is appointed for any of Tenant’s
assets;

               (iv) Tenant fails to bond off or otherwise remove any lien filed against the Premises
or the Building by reason of Tenant’s actions, within fifteen (15) days after Tenant has
notice of the filing of such lien;

               (v) Tenant fails to observe, perform and keep the covenants, agreements, provisions,
stipulations, and conditions, herein contained to be observed, performed and kept by Tenant
and persists in such failure after thirty (30) days written notice by Landlord requiring
that Tenant remedy, correct, desist or comply (or if any such failure to comply on the part
of Tenant would reasonably require more than thirty (30) days to rectify, unless Tenant
commences rectification within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter promptly,
effectively and diligently proceeds with the rectification of the failure to comply on the
part of Tenant and, in all such events, cures such failure to comply on the part of Tenant
no later than ninety (90) days after Landlord’s written notice);

               (vi) If all or any part of this Lease shall be assigned, or if all or any part of the
Premises shall be sublet, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except in strict
accordance with the requirements of Paragraph 10 hereof;

               (vii) If there shall occur any event described elsewhere in this Lease as constituting
a default by Tenant and Tenant fails to cure such default within the time periods provided
in Paragraph 18(a)(v) above;

               (viii) Unless in connection with an Affiliate Transfer, Tenant (if a corporation) is
liquidated or dissolved or its charter expires or is revoked, or Tenant (if a partnership or
business association) is dissolved or partitioned, or Tenant (if a trust) is terminated or
expires, or if Tenant (if an individual) dies; or

               (ix) Tenant fails to install the Specialized Cooling System and the same is not
operational by August 1, 2006, time being of the essence.

30

 

               (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the option to do and
perform any one or more of the following:

               (i) Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the
Premises to Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may, without further notice
and without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have, enter upon the Premises without
the requirement of resorting to the dispossessory procedures and expel or remove Tenant and
Tenant’s effects without being liable for any claim for trespass or damages therefor. Upon
any such termination, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for damages, due and payable
monthly on the day Rent would have been payable hereunder, in an amount equal to the Rent
and any other amounts which would have been owing by Tenant for the balance of the Term, had
this Lease not been terminated, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the
Premises by Landlord, after deducting all of Landlord’s costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, brokerage and attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with
or in any way related to the termination of this Lease, eviction of Tenant and such
reletting; and/or

               (ii) Declare the entire amount of Rent calculated on the current rate being paid by
Tenant, and other sums which in Landlord’s reasonable determination would become due and
payable during the remainder of the Term, discounted to present value by using a reasonable
discount rate selected by Landlord, to be due and payable immediately. Upon such
acceleration of such amounts, Tenant agrees to pay the same at once, together with all Rent
and other amounts theretofore due, at Landlord’s address as provided herein; provided
however, that such payment shall not constitute a penalty or forfeiture but shall constitute
liquidated damages for Tenant’s failure to comply with the terms and provisions of this
Lease (Landlord and Tenant agreeing that Landlord’s actual damages in such an event are
impossible to ascertain and that the amount set forth above is a reasonable estimate
thereof). Upon making such payment, Tenant shall receive from Landlord all rents received
by Landlord from other tenants renting the Premises during the remainder of the Term,
provided that the monies to which Tenant shall so become entitled shall in no event exceed
the entire amount actually paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the preceding sentence,
less all of Landlord’s costs and expenses (including, without limitation, brokerage and
attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with or in any way related to
termination of this Lease, eviction of Tenant and the reletting of the Premises. The
acceptance of such payment by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of rights or remedies
to Landlord for any failure of Tenant thereafter occurring to comply with any term,
provision, condition or covenant of this Lease; and/or

               (iii) Enter the Premises as the agent of Tenant without the requirement of resorting to
the dispossessory procedures and without being liable for any claim for trespass or damages
therefor, and, in connection therewith, rekey the Premises, remove Tenant’s effects
therefrom and store the same at Tenant’s expense, without being liable for any damage
thereto, and relet the Premises as the agent of Tenant, with or without advertisement, by
private negotiations or otherwise, for any term Landlord deems proper, and receive the rent
therefor. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand any deficiency that may arise by reason of
such reletting, but Tenant shall not be entitled to any surplus so arising. Landlord and
Tenant agree that, unless otherwise required by the

31

 

laws of the State of Missouri (and then
only to the extent so required), Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate Landlord’s
damages under this Lease. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, brokerage and attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in
connection with or in any way related to the eviction of Tenant and reletting the Premises,
and for the amount of any other Rent which would have been due from Tenant to Landlord
hereunder which is not recovered from reletting or due to inability to relet the Premises.
Landlord, in addition to but not in lieu of or in limitation of any other right or remedy
provided to Landlord under the terms of this Lease or otherwise (but only to the extent such
sum is not reimbursed to Landlord in conjunction with any other payment made by Tenant to
Landlord), shall have the right to be immediately repaid by Tenant the amount of all sums
expended by Landlord and not repaid by Tenant in connection with preparing or improving the
Premises and any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in renovating or altering
the Premises to make it suitable for reletting. No re-entry or taking possession of the
Premises by Landlord, as provided in this Paragraph, shall be construed as an election on
its part to terminate this Lease unless a notice of such intention is given to Tenant (all
other demands and notices of forfeiture or other similar notices being hereby expressly
waived by Tenant). Notwithstanding any reletting without termination, Landlord may at any
time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach in the manner
provided in this Paragraph; and/or

               (iv) As agent of Tenant, do whatever Tenant is obligated to do by the provisions of
this Lease, including, but not limited to, entering the Premises, without being liable to
prosecution or any claims for damages in order to accomplish this purpose. Tenant agrees to
reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus
effecting compliance with this Lease on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant further agrees that
Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action; and/or

               (c) Pursuit by Landlord of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude the pursuit of any
damages incurred, or of any of the other remedies provided herein or available, at law or in
equity.

               (d) No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s employees or agents during the Term shall
be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises. Neither the mention in this Lease of any
particular remedy, nor the exercise by Landlord of any particular remedy hereunder, or at law or in
equity, shall preclude Landlord from any other remedy Landlord might have under this Lease, or at
law or in equity. Any waiver of or redress for any violation of any covenant or condition
contained in this Lease or any of the Rules and Regulations now or hereafter adopted by Landlord,
shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from
having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Landlord of Rent with
knowledge of the breach of any covenant in this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.
No receipt of monies by Landlord from or for the account of Tenant or from anyone in possession or
occupancy of the Premises after the termination in any way of this Lease or after the giving of any
notice of termination, shall reinstate, continue or extend the term or affect any notice given to
Tenant prior to the receipt of such money, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the
commencement of a suit, or

32

 

after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may
receive and collect any Rent or other amounts due Landlord, and such payment shall not waive or
affect such notice, suit or judgment; provided, however, any such payment received by Landlord from
Tenant shall be applied to offset any applicable judgment against Tenant.

          19. SURRENDER; HOLDING OVER.

          On the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall yield up the Premises to
Landlord in the same condition and repair in which the Premises were on the date Tenant took
possession of the Premises, or as the same may have been improved during the Term, reasonable wear
and tear, obsolescence, damage caused by the negligent acts (but not negligent omissions) or
willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, invitees, contractors and others for whom
Landlord is legally responsible, and damage caused by any breach of any of Landlord’s obligations
under this Lease, excepted, and subject to fire and casualty and condemnation which shall be
governed by the applicable provisions of this Lease. Except as set forth at Section 7(d) and at
Exhibit H, Tenant shall not be required to remove any Tenant Improvements or permanent
alterations or other permanent improvements to the Premises; however, Tenant shall have the right
to remove any trade fixtures or equipment, provided it shall repair any damage to the Premises
resulting therefrom.

          If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after expiration of the Term, or after any
permitted termination of this Lease by Landlord, with Landlord’s acquiescence and without any
written agreement between the parties, Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance and such tenancy
shall be subject to all the provisions hereof, except that the Monthly Base Rental for said
holdover period shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount of Rent due in the last
full month of the Term. There shall be no renewal of this Lease by operation of law. Nothing in
this Paragraph shall be construed as a consent by Landlord to the possession of the Premises by
Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

          20. QUIET ENJOYMENT.

          Landlord covenants that if and for so long as Tenant pays the Rent and performs the covenants
and conditions and is otherwise in full compliance with the terms hereof, Tenant shall peaceably
and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term, subject to the terms hereof and matters
of record affecting the Property.

          21. MUTUAL REPRESENTATION OF AUTHORITY.

               (a) Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant to each other that they have full right, power
and authority to enter into this Lease without the consent or approval of any other entity or
person and each party makes these representations knowing that the other party will rely thereon.

               (b) The signatories on behalf of Landlord and Tenant further represent

33

 

and warrant that each has full right, power and authority to act for and on behalf of Landlord
and Tenant in entering into this Lease.

               (c) Landlord is the owner of a leasehold estate in the Land under a Lease dated April 1, 1998,
between the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, as landlord, and Landlord, as tenant.

          22. LANDLORD’S LIABILITY AND TENANT’S LIABILITY.

               (a) Tenant hereby agrees for itself and each succeeding holder of Tenant’s interest, or any
portion thereof, hereunder, that any judgment, decree or award obtained against Landlord, or any
succeeding owner of Landlord’s interest, which is in any manner related to this Lease, the
Premises, or Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, whether at law or in equity, shall be
satisfied only out of Landlord’s interest in the Project, and/or insurance policies and none of its
entity owners, partners, members, officers, directors, employees or agents shall have any personal
liability under this Lease.

               (b) Landlord hereby agrees for itself and each succeeding holder of Landlord’s interest, or
any portion thereof, hereunder, that any judgment, decree or award obtained against Tenant, or any
succeeding owner of Tenant’s interest, which is in any manner related to this Lease, the Premises,
or Landlord’s obligations hereunder, whether at law or in equity, shall be satisfied only out of
Tenant’s insurance policies and proceeds, and Tenant’s assets and none of its entity owners,
partners, members, officers, directors, employees or agents shall have any personal liability under
this Lease.

               (c) Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to act in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of the other
regarding any insurance proceeds received with respect to damage or loss to the other.

          23. REAL ESTATE BROKERS.

               (a) Tenant represents and warrants that Tenant has not dealt with any broker, in connection
with this Lease and Tenant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and save harmless Landlord against
all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and other costs of defense) arising from Tenant’s breach of this representation.

               (b) Landlord represents and warrants that Landlord has not dealt with any broker in connection
with this Lease and Landlord hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and save harmless Tenant against
all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and other costs of defense) arising from Landlord’s breach of this representation.

          24. ATTORNEYS’ FEES.

34

 

          In the event either party institutes legal proceedings against the other for breach of or
interpretation of any of the terms, conditions or covenants of this Lease, the party against whom a
judgment is entered shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses relative thereto, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party.

          25. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

          At any time during the period beginning with the execution of this Lease and ending with the
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days of the request by Landlord,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, any Mortgagee, prospective Mortgagee, lessor, or any
prospective purchaser or transferee of the Property, the Building, or both (or any portion thereof)

prospective purchaser or transferee, an estoppel certificate in recordable form, or in such other
form as Landlord may from time to time require, evidencing (a) whether or not this Lease is in full

defaults, defenses or offsets, if any); (e) the date to which Rent and other amounts due hereunder,
if any, have been paid; (f) the specific dates of any milestone dates contained in this Lease; and
(g) any such other information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. Each certificate

          26. NO RECORDING.

          Landlord and Tenant agree not to record this Lease.

          27. WAIVERS; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.

          LANDLORD AND TENANT BOTH HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CLAIM, ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THEM AGAINST THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH ANY

          This Lease shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state where
the Premises are located, except for its conflict of law rules.

          29. NOTICES.

          Any notice by either party to the other shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly
given only if delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail return receipt
requested, or overnight delivery service, to the following:

If to Tenant:

Diodes FabTech, Inc.

777 N.W. Blue Parkway

Lee’s Summit, MO 64086-5709

Attention: Dianna L. Hendrix or Administrative Manager

If to Landlord:

Townsend Summit, LLC

c/o Townsend Capital, LLC

210 West Pennsylvania Avenue

Suite 700

Towson, MD 21204

Attention: Judith S. Waranch, Esquire

Notice shall be deemed to have been given (and therefore effective) on the date received or refused
by the addressee, if delivered personally or by overnight delivery service, or, if mailed, the
earlier of the date received or refused by the addressee, or three (3) business days after the date
postmarked. Any copy of a notice which is also to be given to an additional individual shall be
deemed for convenience only and, for the purposes hereof, the giving of notice in the manner
required hereby to the first addressee to receive a notice on behalf of a party shall control for
purposes of whether notice has been given.

          30. COUNTERPARTS.

          This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts each one of which shall be deemed an
original.

          31. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

36

 

          THIS LEASE CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, THERE BEING NO OTHER TERMS,
ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXCEPT AS HEREIN EXPRESSED. THE FAILURE OF EITHER PARTY TO INSIST IN ANY INSTANCE
ON STRICT PERFORMANCE OF ANY COVENANT OR CONDITION HEREOF, OR TO EXERCISE ANY OPTION HEREIN
CONTAINED, SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A WAIVER OF SUCH COVENANT, CONDITION OR OPTION IN ANY OTHER
INSTANCE. NO MODIFICATION OF THIS LEASE SHALL BE BINDING ON THE PARTIES UNLESS IT IS IN WRITING
AND SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES HERETO.

          32. SEVERABILITY AND INTERPRETATION.

               (a) If any clause or provision of this Lease shall be deemed illegal, invalid or unenforceable
under present or future laws effective during the Term, the remainder of this Lease shall not be
affected by such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability, and in lieu of each clause or
provision of this Lease that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there shall be added as a part
of this Lease a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
clause or provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

               (b) Should any provisions of this Lease require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that the
court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms of any such
provision shall be more strictly construed against one party or the other by reason of the rule of
construction that a document is to be construed most strictly against the party who itself or
through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that the agents of all parties hereto have
participated in the preparation of this Lease.

          33. HEIRS, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS; PARTIES.

               (a) The provisions of this Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant,
and their respective permitted successors, heirs, legal representatives and assigns, it being
understood that the term “Landlord” as used in this Lease means only the owner or prime lessee (or
the ground lessee) for the time being of the Property and Building of which the Premises are a
part, so that in the event of any sale or sales of said Property or assignment of the prime lease
(or of any ground lease thereof), Landlord named herein shall be and hereby is entirely released of
all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder accruing thereafter, and it shall be deemed
without further agreement that the purchaser, assignee, or the ground lessee, as the case may be,
has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder
during the period such party has possession of the Property and Building. Should the Property and
the entire Building be severed as to ownership by sale and/or lease, then the owner of the entire
Building or lessee of the entire Building that has the right to lease space in the Building to
tenants shall be deemed “Landlord”. Tenant shall be bound to any such succeeding party for
performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease and agrees to
attorn (and execute any attornment agreement not in conflict with the terms and provisions of this
Lease at the request of any such party) to any such succeeding party.

               (b) The parties “Landlord” and “Tenant” and pronouns relating

37

 

thereto, as used herein, shall include male, female, singular and plural, corporation,
partnership or individual, as may fit the particular parties.

          34. SURVIVAL.

          Except as otherwise set forth herein, any obligations of Tenant and Landlord, as set forth
herein (including, without limitation, (a) Tenant’s rental and other monetary obligations, repair
obligations, and obligations to indemnify Landlord, and (b) Landlord’s obligations to indemnify
Tenant), shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

          35. FORCE MAJEURE.

          Landlord and Tenant shall each be excused for the period of any delay and shall not be deemed
in default with respect to the performance of any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this
Lease (excluding the payment of Rent, Additional Rent or any other charges payable under this
Lease) when prevented from so doing by causes beyond its reasonable control, which shall include,
but not be limited to, all labor disputes, governmental regulations or controls, fire or other
casualty, inability to obtain any material or services, or acts of God.

          36. TIME OF THE ESSENCE.

          All time for payments and performance herein and all notice and cure periods are of the
essence of the agreement between the parties hereto.

          37. HEADINGS.

          The headings in this Lease are included for convenience only and shall not be taken into
consideration in any construction or interpretation of any part of this Lease.

          38. RULES AND REGULATIONS.

          The Rules and Regulations set forth in Exhibit G (the “Rules”) are a part of this
Lease. Landlord may from time to time amend, modify, delete or add new and additional reasonable
Rules for the use, operation, safety, cleanliness and care of the Premises and the Building so long
as such Rules are applicable to all tenants of the Property and do not interfere in any material
respect with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises or reduce Landlord’s obligations hereunder
or reduce or detract from Tenant’s rights hereunder. Such new or modified Rules shall be effective
upon Landlord’s provision of written notice and a copy thereof to Tenant. Tenant will cause its
employees and agents, and will use its best efforts to cause any others permitted by Tenant to
occupy or enter the Premises, to at all times abide by the Rules. In the event of any material
breach of any Rules, Landlord shall have all remedies in this Lease

38

 

provided for in the event of default by Tenant and shall, in addition, have any remedies
available at law or in equity, including but not limited to, the right to enjoin any breach of such
Rules. Landlord agrees to enforce the Rules consistently as to all tenants affected thereby, but
shall not be responsible to Tenant for the nonobservance by any other tenant or person of any such
Rules.

          39. LEASE BINDING UPON DELIVERY; NO OPTION.

          Submission of this Lease for examination and negotiation does not constitute an option to
lease or reservation of space for the Premises. This Lease shall be effective only when executed
by both parties and received by Landlord. If this Lease has been submitted to Tenant in form
already signed by Landlord, it evidences only Landlord’s offer to enter into this Lease on the
exact terms provided as delivered, which offer may be revoked at any time and which may
additionally expire at any certain time established by Landlord in writing.

          40. NATURAL GAS LICENSE AGREEMENT.

          Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain License Agreement dated December 27, 2004 (the
“Natural Gas License”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit J and made a part
hereof. The parties hereto agree that they will enter into a modification of the Natural Gas
License for purposes of confirming that the “Lease” referred to therein shall be deemed to be this
Amended and Restated Lease Agreement.

          41. BASE RENT AND CAM REIMBURSEMENT TO TENANT.

          Within thirty (30) days of the date that this Lease has been executed by both Landlord and
Tenant, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the sum of $188,827.60 [which amount represents the difference
between (a) base rent and common area maintenance charges paid by Tenant for the period January 1,
2006, through August 31, 2006 ($1,221,817.60), and (b) $21.00 per RSF of the Primary Premises for
such time period ($1,032,990.00)]. The Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that said amount is final
and not subject to audit or adjustment.

          It is the intent of this Exhibit that upon the written consent of Landlord, not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Tenant shall be permitted to construct Tenant
Improvements in accordance with the terms of this Exhibit and subject to all applicable terms and
provisions of the Lease and applicable building codes and Legal Requirements and consistent with

     A. IMPROVEMENTS.

          All Tenant Improvements by Tenant in the Premises shall be completed at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense in accordance with plans (“Tenant’s Plans and Specifications”) to be prepared by an
architect selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably

all required approvals.

     B. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS.

          Tenant, at its expense, shall cause Tenant’s Architect to prepare Tenant’s Plans and
Specifications for Landlord’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed.

     C. CONSTRUCTION.

          1. By Tenant: All Tenant Improvements in the Premises shall be constructed by Tenant
in compliance with the following:

               (a) No such work shall proceed without Landlord’s prior written approval, such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, of (i) Tenant’s contractor; (ii) Tenant’s Plans
and Specifications; and (iii) certificate of worker’s compensation insurance in an amount and with
a company and on a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and a certificate of insurance in form

to show Landlord as an additional insured and such insurance shall be maintained by Tenant or
Tenant’s contractor at all times during the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

               (b) All such work shall be done in substantial conformity with Tenant’s Plans and
Specifications and with applicable codes and regulations of governmental authorities having
jurisdiction over the Premises and with valid building permits. Such permits and other
authorizations from appropriate governmental agencies, when required, shall be obtained by Tenant’s
representative at Tenant’s sole expense. Any work not acceptable to the appropriate governmental
agencies or not in substantial conformity with Tenant’s Plans and Specifications, shall be promptly
replaced at Tenant’s sole expense. Notwithstanding any failure by Landlord to object to any such
work, Landlord shall have no responsibility therefor. Tenant agrees to save and hold Landlord
harmless as provided in the Lease for said work.

               (c) Tenant and Tenant’s contractors shall abide by all safety and construction laws,

party acting on Landlord’s behalf shall be responsible for any damage thereto or loss or
destruction thereof unless due to Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any
contractor employed by Tenant must be approved in advance by Landlord, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

               (d) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable out of the pocket expenses incurred by
Landlord by reason of faulty work done by Tenant or Tenant’s contractors, or by reason of delays
caused by such work, or by reason of cleanup which fails to comply with the Rules (as defined in
the Lease), or by reason of use of elevators or other Building services outside normal working
hours, or by reason of security measures taken by Landlord to safeguard the Premises.

               (e) In doing any work in the Premises, Tenant will use only contractors or subcontractors
consented to by Landlord in writing (which consent Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold,
condition or delay) prior to the time such work is commenced. Further, in connection with any work
in the Premises, at Tenant’s option, either (A) Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain prior to
commencement of any work in the Premises a performance and payment bond from its contractor, on the
latest edition of the A.I.A. form, covering such contractor’s obligations, in which Landlord shall
be named as a dual obligee, in the total amount of the cost of the work to be performed, or (B) ALL
SUCH CONTRACTORS APPROVED IN WRITING BY LANDLORD AND THEIR SUBCONTRACTORS AND MATERIALMEN WILL BE
REQUIRED TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER TO LANDLORD A FULL AND FINAL LIEN WAIVER WITH RESPECT TO THE WORK
TO BE PERFORMED OR MATERIALS TO BE PROVIDED BY SUCH CONTRACTOR, SUBCONTRACTOR OR MATERIALMAN IN
ADVANCE OF PERFORMING ANY WORK IN OR PROVIDING ANY MATERIALS TO THE PREMISES.

               Tenant shall promptly bond off in a manner reasonably acceptable to Landlord or otherwise
release of record any lien or claim of lien for material or labor claimed

 

 

against the Premises or Building, or both, by such contractors, subcontractors or materialmen
if such claim should arise by virtue of work contracted for by Tenant, and hereby indemnifies and
holds Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, expenses or
liabilities including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by Landlord, as a
result of or in any way related to such claims or such liens. All work shall be performed in
accordance with the Legal Requirements. If Tenant fails to bond off in a manner reasonably
acceptable to Landlord or otherwise release of record any such lien within fifteen (15) days after
Tenant receives notice thereof, Landlord may remove such lien by paying the full amount thereof or
by bonding or in any other manner Landlord reasonably deems appropriate, without investigating the
validity thereof and irrespective of the fact that Tenant may contest the propriety or the amount
thereof, and Tenant, upon demand, shall pay Landlord the amount so paid out by Landlord in
connection with the discharge of such lien, together with expenses incurred in connection
therewith, including attorneys’ fees. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a consent on
the part of Landlord to subject Landlord’s estate in the Premises to any lien or liability under
the laws of the State of Missouri.

               (f) Tenant’s contractors shall not post any signs on any part of the Building or the Premises,
except for those related to safety or those required pursuant to Legal Requirements.

               (g) Landlord may make periodic inspections of the Premises during construction and at
completion, and shall advise Tenant of any objection to the Tenant Improvements that are not in
substantial conformity with Tenant’s Plans and Specifications. Tenant shall be responsible for
obtaining a permanent certificate of occupancy for the Premises and delivering a copy to Landlord.

          2. Changes: If Tenant requests any changes after Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s
Plans and Specifications, Tenant shall be responsible for all reasonable costs including but not
limited to architectural, engineering and related design expenses resulting from such changes. No
such changes shall be made without prior written approval of Landlord which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall not be responsible for delay in
occupancy by Tenant because of changes.

     D. RESPONSIBILITY FOR DELAYS.

          If Landlord or Tenant shall cause any delay in the construction of any Tenant Improvements,
whether by reason of any failure by Landlord or Tenant to comply with the applicable time schedule
or by Tenant’s requirement of specialty materials or installations or by delays in performance of
completion by a party employed by Tenant, or by reason of building code problems arising from
Tenant’s design, or by reason of changes in the Tenant Improvements ordered by Tenant, then
notwithstanding the provisions of the Lease or any other provision of this Exhibit, any such delay
shall not in any manner affect Tenant’s liability for the payment of Rent as set forth in the
Lease.

 

 

     E. INCORPORATION IN LEASE.

          This Exhibit is and shall be incorporated by reference in the Lease, and all of the terms and
provisions of said Lease are and shall be incorporated herein by this reference. Unless

Tenant’s environmental, health, and safety records concerning Tenant’s operations and on

governmental authorities with respect to releases or threatened releases of Hazardous
Materials it causes and shall provide the other party with copies of such notifications. In
the event Tenant is obligated under this EHS Agreement to properly remediate any
presence, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials, then Tenant shall do so as
consistent with the industrial use of the Premises as reasonably required by Landlord
and/or required by any applicable Environmental Laws at Tenant’s own expense. If
Tenant fails to provide required notification to any governmental authority or to perform
such remediation consistent with the industrial use of the premises as reasonably required
by Landlord and/or in accordance with Environmental Laws, Landlord (or outside

8

 

contractors selected by Landlord) may (but is not required to) provide such notice
or perform the remediation with all due diligence at Tenant’s
reasonable expense.

     3. In the event of an inspection of the Tenant’s premises by any

or other correspondence resulting from such inspection, whether or not Landlord
participated in the walkaround and opening or closing conferences.

Landlord’s (as the case may be) storage, manufacture, generation, handling,
recycling, treatment, disposal, or use of Hazardous Materials at the Building;

     (b) All demands or claims made or threatened by any third party in writing
against Tenant or Landlord (as the case may be) or the Leased Premises relating to
any liability, loss, damage, or injury resulting from the presence, release, or

Premises, or otherwise resulting from Tenant’s or Landlord’s (as the case may be)
storage, manufacture, generation, handling, recycling, treatment, disposal, or use
of Hazardous Materials at the Building; and

     (c) Any spill, release, or discharge of a Hazardous Material by Tenant or
Landlord (as the case may be), in violation of any Environmental Law on, under,

Summit Technology Campus located at 777 Northwest Blue Parkway, Lee’s Summit, County of Jackson,
Missouri, all as more particularly described in the Lease.

     WHEREAS, the Leased Premises are currently the only portion of the Project being serviced by
natural gas. In lieu of the Licensor arranging for the provision of natural gas to the Leased
Premises, then billing the Licensee for the same, the parties have agreed that the Licensee shall
arrange for the provision of natural gas to the Leased Premises and that Licensee shall be
responsible for the payment of such service directly.

     WHEREAS, the Licensor and Licensee desire to enter into this Agreement to grant Licensee a
license to use the natural gas line(s), pipes and any other related equipment owned by Licensor
and located at the Project for the transportation of natural gas to service the Leased Premises.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual entry into this Agreement by the
parties hereto, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which
are hereby acknowledged by each party hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1. Recitals; Capitalized Terms. The recitals set forth above are herein incorporated
as a substantive part of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically defined or otherwise
indicated herein, any capitalized term used herein without definition shall have the meaning
ascribed to such term in the Lease.

     2. Grant of License. Pursuant to that certain assignment of contract (the
“Natural Gas Assignment”) effective as of Dec. 27, 2004 (the “Effective Date”) Licensor
assigned all of its rights, duties and obligations under that certain Contract for Sale or Transportation
of Natural Gas dated July 1, 1995 between Missouri Gas Energy (“MGE”) and A.T.&T.
Corporation (hereinafter, the “MGE Natural Gas Agreement”) to Licensee. Licensor hereby
grants a license to Licensee for the exclusive use (subject to the provisions of Paragraph 4
below), at no additional cost to Licensee (subject to the provisions of Paragraph 3 below), of
the natural gas line(s), pipes and any other related equipment owned by Licensor and located at
the Project (hereinafter, collectively, the “Licensor Gas Line”) for the transportation of natural
gas to service the Leased Premises.

 

 

     3. Maintenance and Repair. Licensee shall be responsible, at its sole cost
and expense, for the maintenance and repair of any portion of the Licensor Gas Line located in, on
or under the Leased Premises. Licensor shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair of all
other portions of the Licensor Gas Line (hereinafter, the
“Non-Licensee Segment”), however, the
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the cost and expense for any such maintenance and repair
incurred by Licensor shall be deemed to be, and shall be included as “additional rent” (as such
term is used in the Lease) and that until such time as Licensee’s license to use the Licensor Gas
Line becomes non-exclusive, as set forth at Section 4 below, Licensee shall be responsible for
paying the full amount of any and all costs and expenses of such maintenance and repair as
“additional rent” under the Lease.

     4. Assignment of MGE Natural Gas Agreement. Licensee hereby agrees that upon the
written request of Licensor, Licensee shall cooperate with Licensor (and/or its designee), and
shall execute any document reasonably requested by Licensor (including, without limitation, any

other natural gas provider, as the case may be) for the provision and/or transportation of natural
gas to service other portions of the Project (any such act,
hereinafter, an “Assignment”). It is
the intention of the parties that such Assignment shall be accomplished by, and the parties hereby
agree to undertake reasonable efforts to cause such Assignment to be accomplished by, a complete
assignment of the MGE Natural Gas Agreement from Licensee to Licensor in form and substance
substantially similar to the Natural Gas Assignment. Upon an Assignment, Licensee’s right to use
the Licensor Gas Line shall become non-exclusive and Licensor shall allocate to the users thereof
(whether in the form of “additional rent” or otherwise) the cost and expense for the maintenance
and repair of the Non-Licensee Segment based upon the physical location of such Non-Licensee
Segment and the duration and level of the applicable parties’ respective use. In no event shall
Licensor be responsible for the interruption and/or unavailability of natural gas to the Project

related to such interruption and/or unavailability.
