ASSIGNMENT OF LEASEHOLD INTEREST AND OTHER PROPERTY. Assignor agrees to sell to Assignee, and Assignee agrees to purchase from Assignor, on the terms hereafter stated all of Assignor's right, title and interest in the following described property (collectively, the "Property"): 1.1 Lease. All of Assignor's right, title and interest, as tenant (the "Leasehold Interest"), in that certain Lease (the "Lease") dated May 5, 1978, as amended by Lease Amendment One dated May 5, 1978, Lease Amendment Two dated June 6, 1988, Lease Amendment Three dated September 24, 1993 and all other amendments thereto, and entered into between TriNet Essential Facilities XII, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Landlord"), as successor-in-interest to The Prudential Insurance Company of America, and Assignor, as successor-in-interest to Ford Aerospace & Communications Corporation, pursuant to which Landlord leases to Assignor all of that certain real property (the "Real Property") located at 1260 Crossman Avenue in Sunnyvale, California and more particularly described in the Lease; and 1.2 Intangible Property. Any and all intangible personal property owned by Assignor and arising out of or in connection with the ownership of the Leasehold Interest or operation of the Property, including the right to use the permits and certificates of occupancy issued by Federal, state or local municipal authorities relating to the use, maintenance, occupancy or operation of the Property, all plans, specifications and drawings relating to the construction of the improvements, all warranties, guaranties or sureties with respect thereto, any unpaid award for damage to the Property and any proceeds of insurance or claim or cause of action for damage, loss or injury of or to the Property and all service, equipment, maintenance, construction and employment agreements (collectively the "Service Contracts") with respect to the Real Property and entered into by Assignor (collectively, the "Intangible Property"). 2. ASSIGNMENT FEE. Subject to the closing adjustments and prorations hereafter described, Assignee shall pay to Assignor the amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the "Assignment Fee") for the Property, in the following manner: 2.1 Assignment Fee Deposit. Within two (2) business days after Assignee's and Assignor's execution of this Agreement, Assignee shall deposit with First American Title Guaranty Company ("Escrow Holder") cash in an amount equal to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the "Deposit").

Following expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Assignment Fee Deposit shall be returned to Assignee if and only if the transaction contemplated hereunder fails to close because of a default by Assignor or a default by Landlord under the Real Property Purchase Agreement. Upon the Close of Escrow (as hereinafter defined), the Assignment Fee Deposit shall be applied against the Assignment Fee. 2.2 Cash at Closing. On or before the Close of Escrow, Assignee shall deposit with Escrow Holder by federal wire transfer or cashier's check cash in an amount equal to the Assignment Fee, minus the Assignment Fee Deposit (the "Cash Payment"), plus or minus the closing adjustments and prorations. 3.

Pacific Standard Time on the thirtieth (30th) day after the Effective Date of this Agreement. 2. <PAGE> 7 4.1.1.1 Physical Inspection. During the Due Diligence Period, Assignee shall be permitted to make complete physical, environmental, legal and other inspections of the Property and to make and remove copies of any and all records and files regarding the Property; provided, however, that in no event shall Assignor be required to provide Assignee with access to or copies of proprietary or government-classified documents.

Assignee shall have approved any material (in Assignee's judgment) change to Assignor's representations and warranties reflected in the Closing Certificate (as defined in Section 5.1.7). Assignee shall have two (2) business days following receipt of said certificate to approve or disapprove any such changes (and if necessary, the Close of Escrow shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give Assignee this full two (2) business day period). 4.1.5 Change in Condition. There shall have been no material adverse changes in the physical condition of the Property. 4.1.6 Real Property Purchase Agreement. Assignee and Landlord have negotiated and executed a purchase and sale agreement (the "Real Property Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which Landlord has agreed to sell Landlord's fee interest in the Real Property to Assignee. All conditions and contingencies under the Real Property Purchase Agreement between Landlord and Assignee shall have been satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof. At the Close of Escrow, Landlord shall simultaneously transfer title to the Real Property to Assignee pursuant to the terms of the Real Property Purchase Agreement. 4.2 Assignor's Conditions. Assignor's obligation to assign the Leasehold Interest in the Property shall be subject to and contingent upon satisfaction or written waiver of the following conditions precedent: 4.2.1 Other Property.

Assignee shall have obtained the fee interest to the Real Property; provided, however, that Assignee's failure to consummate the 3. <PAGE> 8 transaction pursuant to which Assignee acquires title to the Real Property shall not result in the return of the Assignment Fee Deposit to Assignee. 4.2.3 Assignee's Fulfillment of Conditions.

Assignee or Assignor may elect, at any time or times on or before the date specified for the satisfaction of the condition, to waive in writing the benefit of any of their respective conditions set forth in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 above, as applicable. Assignee's failure to notify Assignor in writing of the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 4.1.1 on or before the date specified for satisfaction shall be deemed to constitute a failure of such condition. In any event, Assignee's and Assignor's consent to the Close of Escrow shall waive any remaining unfulfilled conditions (but such waiver shall not be deemed to waive any subsequently discovered breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by either party to this Agreement.) 5.
