Subtenant shall have the right to seek a reduction of the assessed value of the Parcel on behalf of Sublandlord but during the pendency of said proceeding Subtenant must continue to pay its share of such assessments including real estate taxes If by virtue of any application or proceeding brought by or on behalf of Sublandlord, there results a reduction in the assessed value of the Parcel during the Sublease Term, Subtenant agrees to reimburse Sublandlord its out of pocket costs incurred by Sublandlord in connection with such application or proceeding, up to the amount of the tax savings achieved. A. Subtenant shall be responsible for increases in real property taxes arising out of Sublandlord's acquisition of the Parcel from Master Landlord. B. Except as provided in 12.A above, in the event of an increase in real property taxes that results from changes in ownership of the Parcel, the buildings or other improvements in the Project, Subtenant shall be responsible for the payment of the tax rate in effect before the tax increase as increased by the lesser of (i) the actual tax increase; or (ii) three percent (3%). 13. UTILITIES AND SERVICES: Subtenant shall pay for the cost of all utilities supplied to the Sublease Premises. In the event of any failure in the supply of the utilities or services for the Building, whether resulting from breakdown, removal from service for maintenance or repairs, strikes, scarcity of labor or materials, acts of God, Governmental Requirements, action or inaction, or other cause whatsoever, Sublandlord shall not have any liability to Subtenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the failure of any utility to the Sublease Premises for more than ten (10) consecutive days through no fault of Subtenant, Monthly Base Rent and additional rent payable by Subtenant hereunder shall abate commencing on the eleventh day, until such utility is restored. 11 <PAGE> 15 14. FREE FROM LIENS: Subtenant shall keep the Sublease Premises free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Subtenant or claimed to have been performed for Subtenant. In the event Subtenant fails to discharge any such lien within ten (10) days after receiving notice of the filing from Sublandlord, Sublandlord shall be entitled to discharge such lien at Subtenant's expense and all resulting costs incurred by Sublandlord, including attorney's fees shall be due from Subtenant as additional rent. No person or entity performing work for Subtenant shall have a right to file a lien on Sublandlord's Building. 15. WARRANTY REGARDING USE. Sublandlord hereby warrants, represents and covenants that upon Sublandlord's tender of possession of the Sublease Premises to Subtenant, the Sublease Premises and the use of the Sublease Premises for the purposes indicated in Section 3 of this Sublease shall not be in violation of any Governmental Requirements; any air quality standards established by law; or any covenants, conditions, restrictions and easements affecting the Sublease Premises. 16. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS: Subtenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with and observe all Governmental Requirements pertaining to the said Sublease Premises, including those of any applicable environmental permit, license, certificate, authorization or approval ("Environmental Approval"), and shall faithfully observe in the use of the Sublease Premises, including any regulations dealing with signage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cost of any structural repairs or alterations or capital improvements to the Sublease Premises or the fire proofing system serving the Sublease Premises which may be required by Governmental Requirements (whether presently existing or hereinafter enacted), insurance regulations or otherwise, which are not required solely because of Subtenant's negligence or Subtenant's particular use of the Sublease Premises shall be paid for by Sublandlord. Such cost shall be amortized over the useful life of the improvement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and charged to Subtenant as a Common Area Expense to the extent the amortized portion falls within any Sublease Year. 17. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS: A. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings: "ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITY" means any actual, proposed, threatened or claimed use, storage, treatment, existence, release, emission, discharge, generation, manufacture, import, export, disposal or transportation of any Hazardous Materials at, from, into, on, under or about the Sublease Premises or Parcel, or any other activity or occurrence that causes or would cause any such event to occur.

Upon having knowledge thereof, Sublandlord and Subtenant each shall promptly provide notice to the other party of: i. any regulatory action that has been instituted, or threatened by any governmental agency or court with respect to the Parcel that relates to any Environmental Activity; ii. any claim relating to any Environmental Activity at the Parcel; or iii. any actual or threatened material release on, under or about the Parcel of any Hazardous Material(s), except any Hazardous Material(s) whose discharge or emission is expressly authorized by and in compliance with an Environmental Approval issued by a federal, state, regional or local governmental agency pursuant to Environmental Requirements. E. Sublandlord shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Subtenant from and against any liabilities, claims, demands, obligations, responsibilities, losses, damages (whether punitive or consequential), charges, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys', experts', and consultants' fees and costs of investigation and feasibility studies) fines, penalties and monetary sanctions or interest which are incurred at any time relating directly or indirectly to Sublandlord's use or ownership of the Parcel, or to the Environmental Activities of any third party that: i. is the result of the existence of Sublandlord's operations on or use of the Parcel; ii. is the result of the existence of Hazardous Materials upon, about, or beneath the Parcel (whether originating on the Parcel or outside the Parcel), or migrating or threatening to migrate from or onto the Property prior to the inception date or during the term of this Sublease other than Hazardous Materials upon, about, or beneath the Sublease Premises, or migrating or threatening to migrate from or onto the Parcel which is caused directly or indirectly by the actions of Subtenant or Subtenant's Agents or its use or occupancy of the Sublease or Parcel; iii. is the result of the existence of a violation of Environmental Requirements or liability pursuant to any provision of Environmental Requirements pertaining to the Parcel that existed or arose out of operations prior to the Commencement Date of this Sublease that may be incurred by, imposed upon, or asserted or awarded against Subtenant; or 13 <PAGE> 17 iv. is the result of the action or inaction of any third party or Sublandlord, or is the result of a violation of Environmental Requirements caused by any third party or Sublandlord. F. Subtenant shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Sublandlord from and against any liabilities, claims, demands, obligations, responsibilities, losses, damages (whether punitive or consequential), charges, cost and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys', experts' and consultants' fees, costs of investigation, and feasibility studies), fines, penalties, and monetary sanctions or interest which are incurred at any time related directly to Subtenants's use of the Sublease Premises. G. The provisions of SECTIONS 17.E AND 17.F shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. H. As an inducement to Subtenant to enter into this Sublease, Sublandlord represents and warrants to Subtenant as follows: i. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Neither Sublandlord nor any tenant, occupant, or user of the Property or Sublease Premises has engaged in or permitted any operations or activities upon, or any use or occupancy of the Property or Sublease Premises, for the purpose of or in any way involving the handling, manufacture, treatment, storage, use, generation, release, discharge, dumping, or disposal of any Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property, nor any Hazardous Materials presently constructed, deposited, stored, or otherwise located on, under, in or about the Property. ii. NO NOTICE OF VIOLATION OR LITIGATION. Sublandlord has not received notice or other communication concerning any alleged violation of Environmental Requirements, nor notice or other communication concerning alleged liability resulting from Environmental Activities at the Property, and there exists no writ, injunction, decree, order, or judgment outstanding, or any lawsuit, claim, proceeding, citation, directive, summons of investigation, pending or threatened, relating to the ownership, use, maintenance or operation of the Property by any person or governmental agency. I. Sublandlord shall reasonably cooperate with Subtenant to the extent necessary to assist Subtenant in the procurement of any Environmental Approvals to provide for the full enjoyment of Subtenant's rights under this Sublease, to the extent required or requested by any governmental or regulatory agency granting such Environmental Approvals, and to the extent consistent with normal and usual Environmental Approvals used and required in the electronics industry. In connection with this obligation, Sublandlord will bear its own reasonable internal costs associated with such cooperation. 18. INDEMNITY: A. As a material part of the consideration to be rendered to Sublandlord, Subtenant shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord) and hold Sublandlord 14 <PAGE> 18 and Sublandlord's agents, directors, officers, employees, invitees and contractors (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any expense or loss, including attorneys' fees, resulting from Subtenant's negligent performance or breach of duty under this Sublease or Subtenant's use or occupancy of the Sublease Premises, and shall defend at its own expense, including attorney's fees, any suit brought against Indemnified Parties alleging any such item; provided, that (i) Sublandlord immediately notifies Subtenant of the assertion of any such claim, (ii) permits Subtenant through counsel of Subtenant's choice to conduct the defense (including the terms of a settlement, if any) of such claim, and (iii) Sublandlord provides Subtenant with all needed information, assistance, and authority, at Subtenant's expense, to enable Subtenant to defend against such claim. The foregoing obligation to indemnify and defend is expressly limited to only those damages directly resulting from the negligence or breach by Subtenant or Subtenant's use or occupancy of the Sublease Premises and shall not apply to those damages resulting, in whole or in part, from the items Sublandlord is required to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for under Section 18.B below. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Sublease with respect to any claim arising before such termination. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to damage or injury arising from the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Sublease Premises, which is separately addressed in Article 17 hereof. B. As a material part of the consideration to be rendered to Subtenant, Sublandlord shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Subtenant) and hold Subtenant and Subtenant's agents, directors, officers, employees, invitees and contractors (collectively the "Subtenant Indemnitees"), exempt and harmless (i) from any damage or injury to any person, or to the goods, wares and merchandise and all other personal property of any person, arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord, or (ii) arising from or in connection with the use, occupation, management, repair, maintenance or control of any portions of the Parcel not physically and exclusively occupied by Subtenant, including but not limited to any Common Areas. Further, in the event a Subtenant Indemnitee is made party to any litigation due solely to the breach by Sublandlord of its obligations under the Sublease, negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord, its employees, contractors, agents and invitees, Sublandlord will indemnify and hold the Subtenant Indemnitee harmless from any such claim or liability including its costs and expenses and reasonable attorney's fees incurred in defending such claims. 19. ADVERTISEMENTS AND SIGNS: Sublandlord hereby permits Subtenant to install exclusive monument and exterior Building signage bearing Subtenant's corporate logo, which signage may be up to the maximum size permitted by the local governmental agencies. Subtenant, at Subtenant's cost, shall obtain all required permitting from governmental agencies. The method of installation of the exterior Building signage shall be subject to Sublandlord's reasonable approval, it being understood that the method used for similar buildings in the area of the Building shall be deemed acceptable to Sublandlord. Subtenant will not place or permit to be placed, in, upon or about the said Sublease Premises any signs not approved by the city or other governing authority. 20. ATTORNEY'S FEES: In case a suit or alternative form of dispute resolution should be brought for the possession of the Sublease Premises, for the recovery of any sum due hereunder, to interpret the Sublease or because of the breach of any other covenant herein, the losing party shall pay to the prevailing party a reasonable attorney's fee including the expense of expert witnesses, depositions and court testimony as part of its costs which shall be deemed to have accrued on the 15 <PAGE> 19 commencement of such action. In addition, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses including reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the prevailing party in appealing (if successful on appeal) or enforcing any judgment or award against the other party. The foregoing provision relating to post-judgment costs is intended to be severable from all other provisions of this Sublease. 21. SUBTENANT'S DEFAULT: The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material default and breach of this Sublease by Subtenant: a) Any failure by Subtenant to pay any rent under this Sublease on or before the date such rent is due under this Sublease which failure continues for fifteen (15) days after written notice from Sublandlord to Subtenant (provided that Sublandlord shall not be required to give Subtenant notice more than one time in any twelve (12) month period); b) A failure by Subtenant to observe and perform any other provision of this Sublease to be observed or performed by Subtenant, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Sublandlord to Subtenant, provided, however, that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period Subtenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Subtenant shall within such period commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion; c) The making by Subtenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Subtenant of a petition to have Subtenant adjudged a bankrupt or of a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of petition filed against Subtenant, the same is dismissed after the filing); d) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Subtenant's assets located at the Sublease Premises or of Subtenant's interest in this Sublease, where possession is not restored to Subtenant within thirty (30) days; or e) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Subtenant's assets located at the Sublease Premises or of Subtenant's interest in this Sublease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Subtenant's shall not be in default for the failure to pay Rent unless and until such failure continues for a grace period of five (5) days after same is due. A. Remedies: In the event of any such default by Subtenant, then in addition to any other remedies available to Sublandlord at law or in equity, Sublandlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Sublease and all rights of Subtenant hereunder by giving written notice of such intention to terminate. In the event that Sublandlord shall elect to so terminate this Sublease then Sublandlord may recover from Subtenant: a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned by the time of such termination; plus b) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that Subtenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Sublease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Subtenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus d) any other amount necessary to compensate Sublandlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Subtenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Sublease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, and e) at Sublandlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable California law. The term "rent", as used herein, shall be deemed to be and to mean the minimum monthly installments of Base Monthly Rent and all other 16 <PAGE> 20 sums required to be paid by Subtenant pursuant to the terms of this Sublease, all other such sums being deemed to be additional rent due hereunder. As used in (a) and (b) above, the "worth at the time of award" is to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco plus one (1%) percent per annum. As used in (c) above, the "worth at the time of award" is to be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one (1%) percent. B. Right to Re-enter: In the event of any such default by Subtenant, Sublandlord shall also have the right, after terminating this Sublease, to re-enter the Sublease Premises and remove all persons and property from the Sublease Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Subtenant and disposed of by Sublandlord in any manner permitted by law. C. Abandonment: If Sublandlord does not elect to terminate this Sublease as provided in Article 21.A or 21.B above, then the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1951.4, (Sublandlord may continue the Sublease in effect after Subtenant's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Subtenant has a right to sublet and assign, subject only to reasonable limitations) as amended from time to time, shall apply and Sublandlord may from time to time, without terminating this Sublease, either recover all rental as it becomes due or relet the Sublease Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Sublandlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Sublease Premises. In the event that Sublandlord shall elect to so relet, then rentals received by Sublandlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Base Monthly Rent due hereunder from Subtenant to Sublandlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of reasonable cost of any reasonably necessary alterations and repairs to the Sublease Premises; fourth, to the payment of Base Monthly Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Sublandlord and applied in payment of future Base Monthly Rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month, which is applied by the payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable during that month by Subtenant hereunder, the Subtenant shall pay such deficiency to Sublandlord immediately upon demand therefor by Sublandlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Subtenant shall also pay to Sublandlord, as soon as ascertained, any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Sublandlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting. D. No Termination: No re-entry or taking possession of the Sublease Premises by Sublandlord pursuant to 21.B or 21.C of this Article 21 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Sublease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Subtenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Sublandlord because of any default by Subtenant, Sublandlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Sublease for any such default. 22. SURRENDER OF SUBLEASE: The voluntary or other surrender of this Sublease by Subtenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not automatically effect a merger of the Sublease with Sublandlord's ownership of the Sublease Premises. Instead, at the option of Sublandlord, Subtenant's surrender may terminate all of any existing sublease or subtenancies, or may operate as an 17 <PAGE> 21 assignment to Sublandlord of any or all such subleases or subtenancies, thereby creating a direct Sublandlord-Subtenant relationship between Sublandlord and any subtenants. 23. SUBLANDLORD'S DEFAULT: In the event of Sublandlord's failure to perform any of its covenants or agreements under this Sublease, Subtenant shall give Sublandlord written notice of such failure and shall give Sublandlord thirty (30) days to cure or to commence to cure such failure prior to any claim for breach or for damages resulting from such failure, provided, however, that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period Sublandlord shall not be deemed to be in default if Sublandlord shall within such period commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion. If Sublandlord fails to perform Sublandlord's obligations under this Sublease, Subtenant shall after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Sublandlord (except in the case of emergency, in which case no notice shall be required), have the right (but not the obligation) to perform such obligation on Sublandlord's behalf and the cost thereof shall be due and payable to Subtenant within thirty (30) days after notice thereof. 24. NOTICES: All notices, demands, requests, or consents required to be given under this Sublease shall be sent in writing by U.S. certified mail, return receipt requested, or by nationally recognized overnight courier such as U.S. Express Mail or Federal Express, to the party to be notified at the address for such party specified in this Article 24, or to such other street address as the party to be notified may from time to time designate by at least fifteen (15) days prior notice to the notifying party. Notices to Sublandlord shall be sent to the address specified in Article 1 of this Sublease. Notices to Subtenant shall be sent to (i) the address specified in Article 1 of this Sublease, attn: Vice President, Real Estate, and (ii) Mr. Wayne Timura, Director, Real Estate and Development, Quantum Corporation, 10125 Federal Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80908. Notice sent via certified mail shall be deemed given five (5) days after so deposited in the U.S. mail and notices sent via overnight courier shall be deemed given the next business day after so deposited. 25. ENTRY BY SUBLANDLORD: Upon 24 hours' prior notice, except in the case of emergency or serious repair in which case reasonable notice under the circumstances is required, Subtenant shall permit Sublandlord and his agents to enter into and upon said Sublease Premises at all reasonable times subject to any security reasonable regulations of Subtenant for the purposes of (i) inspecting the same, (ii) maintaining the Sublease Premises, (iii) making repairs, alterations or additions to the Sublease Premises, (iv) erecting additional buildings and improvements on the land where the Sublease Premises are situated, or on adjacent land owned by Sublandlord, or (v) performing any obligations of the Sublandlord under the Sublease including remediation of Hazardous Materials if determined to be the responsibility of Sublandlord. 26. DESTRUCTION OF SUBLEASE PREMISES: A. Destructions by an Insured Casualty: In the event of a partial destruction of the Sublease Premises by a casualty for which Sublandlord is required to carry insurance pursuant to this Sublease, during the Sublease Term from any cause, Sublandlord shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, notify Subtenant of the amount of time Sublandlord reasonably determines will be required to restore the Sublease Premises. 18 <PAGE> 22 Sublandlord will forthwith repair the Sublease Premises, provided such repairs can be made within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of damage (as reasonably determined by Sublandlord). Any partial destruction shall in no way annul or void this Sublease, except that Subtenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of Base Monthly Rent while such repairs are being made, such proportionate reduction to be based upon the extent to which the making of such repairs shall interfere with the business carried on by Subtenant in the Sublease Premises. For purposes of this paragraph "partial destruction" shall mean destruction of no greater than one-third (1/3) of the replacement cost of the Sublease Premises, excluding the replacement cost of the Tenant Improvements paid for by Subtenant. In the event the Sublease Premises (i) are more than partially destroyed, or (ii) the repairs cannot be made in one hundred eighty (180) days, Sublandlord or Subtenant may elect to terminate this Sublease within fifteen (15) days of determination by Sublandlord of the foregoing. In no event, however shall Sublandlord be required to replace or restore (i) Alterations, (ii) Tenant Improvements paid for by Subtenant from sources other than the Work Allowance, or (iii) Subtenant's fixtures or personal property. B. Destruction by an Uninsured Casualty: In the event of a total or partial destruction of the Sublease Premises by a casualty for which Sublandlord is not required to carry insurance pursuant to this Sublease, the Sublease shall automatically terminate, unless (i) Sublandlord elects to rebuild at Sublandlord's cost, and (ii) the damage can be repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days. C. Damage or Destruction Near End of Sublease Term: If the Sublease Premises are damaged or destroyed in whole or in part from any cause during the last year of the Sublease Term, Sublandlord or Subtenant may terminate by giving written notice of such election to do so within thirty (30) days after the event of such damage or destruction, with termination to be effective as of the date thirty (30) days after the date of such notice. 27. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE: A. Consent by Sublandlord: Except as specifically provided in this Article 27, Subtenant may not assign, sublet, hypothecate, encumber its leasehold interest, or allow a third party to use the Sublease Premises without the express written consent of Sublandlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event Subtenant desires to assign this Sublease or any interest therein including, without limitation, a pledge, mortgage or other hypothecation, or sublet the Sublease Premises or any part thereof, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord copies of any such proposed agreement and of all ancillary agreements with the proposed assignee or subtenant, financial statements, and any additional information as reasonably required by Sublandlord to determine whether it will consent to the proposed assignment or sublease. The notice shall give the name and current address of the proposed assignee/subtenant, proposed use of the Sublease Premises, rental rate and current financial statement (if available); and upon request to Subtenant, Sublandlord shall be given additional information as reasonably required by Sublandlord to determine whether it will consent to the proposed assignment or sublease. Sublandlord shall then have a period of ten (10) days following receipt of the foregoing agreement, statements and additional information within which to 19 <PAGE> 23 notify Subtenant in writing that Sublandlord elects (i) to permit Subtenant to assign or sublet such space to the named assignee/subtenant on the terms and conditions set forth in the notice, or (ii) to refuse consent, which refusal shall set forth Sublandlord's reasons therefore. If Sublandlord should fail to notify Subtenant in writing of such election within said ten (10) day period, Sublandlord shall be deemed to have elected option (i) above. Sublandlord's consent (which must be in writing and in form reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord) to the proposed assignment or sublease, shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided and upon condition that: (i) the proposed assignee or subtenant is engaged in a business that is limited to the use expressly permitted under this Sublease; (ii) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a company with sufficient financial worth and management ability to undertake the financial obligation of this Sublease, and Sublandlord has been furnished with reasonable proof thereof; (iii) the proposed assignment or sublease shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord; (iv) Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord on demand for any costs that may be incurred by Sublandlord in connection with said assignment or sublease, including the costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or subtenant and legal costs incurred in connection with the granting of any requested consent, not to exceed $1,000 in the aggregate; (v) the initial Subtenant shall not be released from liability; and (vi) any increase in rental income from what is being charged Subtenant and what is being charged successor tenant or sublessee shall be split fifty percent (50%) to Sublandlord and fifty percent (50%) to Subtenant, after deducting Subtenant's costs of reletting the Sublease Premises (including brokerage commissions, time unoccupied, and costs of improving the Sublease Premises). Sublandlord's prior consent shall not be required for (i) any sub-sublease of Subtenant's interest in the Sublease to Meridian Data, Inc. (in the event Quantum Corporation's planned acquisition of Meridian Data, Inc. does not take place); or (ii) any assignment, sublease or other transfer of Subtenant's interest in the Sublease Premises or the Sublease to any other corporation with which Subtenant may merge or consolidate or become affiliated as a parent, subsidiary, holding company or otherwise, or to an entity in which Subtenant has a controlling interest; provided that Subtenant will not be released from liability unless Sublandlord agrees to release Subtenant. However, Subtenant shall give Sublandlord prior notice of any such assignment, sublease or other transfer of Subtenant's interest. A subsequent public offering and sale of stock in Subtenant's business, or a transfer of any amount of Subtenant's stock shall not constitute an assignment of the Sublease. B. Documentation: Any assignment or sublease shall be made only if and shall not be effective until the assignee or subtenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Sublandlord an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Sublandlord, whereby the assignee or subtenant shall assume all of the obligations of this Sublease on the part of Subtenant to be performed or observed and shall be subject to all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Sublease. 28. CONDEMNATION: If any part of the Sublease Premises shall be taken for any public or quasipublic use, under any statute or by right of eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof, and only a part thereof remains which is susceptible of occupation hereunder, this Sublease shall as to the part so taken, terminate as of the day before title shall vest in the condemnor or purchaser ("Vesting Date"), and the Base Monthly Rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted so that the Subtenant shall be required to pay for the remainder of the Sublease Term only such portion of such Base Monthly Rent as the value of the part remaining after such taking bears to the value of the entire 20 <PAGE> 24 Sublease Premises prior to such taking. If all of the Sublease Premises, or such part thereof be taken so that there does not remain a portion susceptible for occupation hereunder, this Sublease shall thereupon terminate on the Vesting Date. In addition, if twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Sublease Premises shall be taken, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall each have the right to terminate the Sublease. If either Subtenant or Sublandlord intends to terminate the Sublease such party shall notify the other within sixty (60) days after such taking and the Sublease shall be terminated on the date set forth in such notice, which date shall be within thirty (30) days of the date of such notice. If a part or all of the Sublease Premises be taken, all compensation awarded upon such taking shall go to the Sublandlord and the Subtenant shall have no claim thereto but Sublandlord shall cooperate with Subtenant, to recover compensation for damage to or taking of any Alterations, Tenant Improvements paid for by Subtenant from sources other than the Work Allowance, fixtures and equipment, and for Subtenant's moving costs. 29. EFFECTS OF CONVEYANCE: Subject to the last sentence of this Article 29, the term "Sublandlord" as used in this Sublease, means only the owner for the time being of the Sublease Premises so that, in the event of any sale or other conveyance of the Sublease Premises, or in the event of a master lease of the Sublease Premises, the Sublandlord shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of the "Sublandlord" hereunder, and it shall be deemed and construed, without further agreement between the parties, or the master tenant of the Sublease Premises, that the purchaser or master tenant of the Sublease Premises has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants and obligations of the Sublandlord hereunder. Such transferor shall transfer and deliver Subtenant's security deposit to the purchaser at any such sale or the master tenant of the Sublease Premises, and thereupon the such transferor shall be discharged from any further liability in reference thereto. The release of Sublandlord from any liability accruing after the date Sublandlord transfers title to the Sublease Premises and the agreement by Subtenant to look solely to Sublandlord's successor-in-interest shall be conditioned upon (a) delivery to Sublandlord's successor of any and all funds in the hands of Sublandlord at the time of the transfer in which Subtenant has an interest, or in lieu thereof, delivery of such funds to Subtenant; and (b) the assumption, in writing, of all of Sublandlord's obligations under the Sublease by Sublandlord's successor in interest. 30. SUBORDINATION: This Sublease is subject and subordinate to ground and underlying leases, mortgages and deeds of trust (collectively "Encumbrances") which may now or hereafter affect the Sublease Premises, to any covenants, conditions or restrictions of record, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, that the holder or holders of any such Encumbrance ("holder") execute a non-disturbance agreement in a form satisfactory to Subtenant to the effect that the Sublease shall not be terminated and shall be recognized in the event of any default under any ground lease or underlying lease or any foreclosure or sale pursuant to the terms of any mortgage or deed of trust, so long as Subtenant is not in default (after the expiration of all applicable cure periods) under the terms of the Sublease and provided Subtenant attorns to the Holder as the successor Sublandlord. If any Holder shall require that this Sublease be prior and superior to such Holder's Encumbrance, within fifteen (15) days after written request of Sublandlord to Subtenant, Subtenant shall execute, have acknowledged and deliver any and all documents or instruments, in the form presented to Subtenant, which Sublandlord or Holder deems necessary or desirable for such purposes. 21 <PAGE> 25 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this paragraph Subtenant hereby attorns and agrees to attorn to any entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring the Sublease Premises at any sale or other proceeding or pursuant to the exercise of any other rights, powers or remedies under such encumbrance. Sublandlord agrees to deliver to Subtenant within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, a non-disturbance agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Subtenant, executed by any ground lessor or lender which currently holds a ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust which encumbers any property of which the Sublease Premises are a part as of the date of execution of this Sublease. If Sublandlord fails to obtain such non-disturbance agreements, then Subtenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Sublease by giving Sublandlord written notice thereof. 31. WAIVER. The waiver by Sublandlord of any breach of any term, covenant or condition, herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Sublandlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Subtenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Sublease, other than the failure of Subtenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Sublandlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. No payment by Subtenant or receipt by Sublandlord of a lesser amount than any installment of rent due shall be deemed to be other than payment on account of the amount due. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by Sublandlord shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver thereof by Sublandlord. No act or conduct of Sublandlord, including, without limitation, the acceptance of keys to the Sublease Premises, shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Sublease Premises by Subtenant before the Expiration Date (only written notice from Sublandlord to Subtenant of acceptance shall constitute such acceptance of surrender of the Sublease Premises). Sublandlord's consent to or approval of any act by Subtenant which require Sublandlord's consent or approvals shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Sublandlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Subtenant. 32. HOLDING OVER. Any holding over after the termination or Expiration Date with Sublandlord's consent, shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month, terminable on thirty (30) days written notice from either party, and Subtenant shall pay Base Monthly Rent to Sublandlord at a rate equal to (i) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the base Monthly Rent due in the month preceding the termination or Expiration Date plus all other amounts payable by Subtenant under this Sublease.

LATE CHARGES: Lessor hereby acknowledges that a late payment made by Lessee to Lessor of Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges, which may be imposed on Lessor according to the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Lessee is not received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such amount is due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to five (5%) percent of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payments made by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charges by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor shall it prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, <PAGE> 32 Lessee shall, within ten days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Lessee's failure to do so shall be a default by Lessee. Any attempt by Lessee to transfer or encumber its interest in the Security Deposit shall be null and void. Upon execution of this Lease, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor the Security Deposit. Notwithstanding the above, Lessor agrees to waive the requirement for Lessee to make a Security Deposit provided Lessee's shareholder's equity exceeds $100 million.

A sign so placed on the Premises shall be so placed upon the understanding and agreement that Lessee will remove same at the end of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease and repair any damage or injury to the Premises caused thereby, and if not so removed by Lessee, then Lessor may have the same removed at Lessee's expense. 12. UTILITIES: Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone and other utilities supplied to the Premises. Any charges for usage, PG&E, and telephone site service or related fees shall be the obligation of Lessee and paid for by Lessee. If any such services are not separately metered to Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonably proportion of all charges which are jointly metered, the determination to be made by Lessor acting reasonably and on any equitable basis. Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any disruption in any of the utility services to the Premises. 13. ATTORNEY'S FEES: In case suit should be brought for the possession of the Premises, for the recovery of any sum due hereunder, because of the breach of any other covenant herein, or to enforce, protect, or establish any term, conditions, or covenant of this Lease or the right of either party hereunder, the losing party shall pay to the Prevailing Party reasonable attorney's fees which shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. The term "Prevailing Party" shall mean the party that received substantially the relief requested, whether by settlement, dismissal, summary judgment, judgment, or otherwise. 14.1 DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Lessee: a) Any failure by Lessee to pay Rent or to make any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder when due if not cured within ten (10) days after written notice thereof by Lessor to Lessee; b) The abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Lessee except as provided in Section 7; c) A failure by Lessee to observe and perform any other provision of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, where such failure continues for thirty days after written notice thereof by Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot be reasonably cured within such thirty (30) day period, Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee shall, within such period, commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion; d) The making by Lessee of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Lessee of a petition to have Lessee adjudged a bankrupt or of a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy; e) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets or Lessee's interest in this Lease, or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease. 14.2 SURRENDER OF LEASE: In the event of any such default by Lessee, then in addition to any other remedies available to Lessor at law or in equity, Lessor shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease before the end of the Lease Term and all rights of Lessee hereunder, by giving written notice of such intention to terminate. In the event that Lessor terminates this Lease due to a default of Lessee, then Lessor may recover from Lessee: a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus b) the worth at the time of award of unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeding the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Lease Term after Page 5 <PAGE> 36 the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus d) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform his obligations under this Lease of which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and a) at Lessor's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lien of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable California law. As used in (a) and (b) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the rate of Wells Fargo's prime rate plus two percent (2%) per annum. As used in (c) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). 14.3 RIGHT OF ENTRY AND REMOVAL: In the event of any such default by Lessee, Lessor shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Lessee. 14.4 ABANDONMENT: In the event of the vacation or abandonment, except as provided in Section 7, of the Premises by Lessee or in the event that Lessor shall elect to re-enter as provided in paragraph 14.3 above or shall take possession of the Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, and Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 14.2 above, then Lessor may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, either recover all Rent as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental rates and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises. In the event that Lessor elects to relet the Premises, then Rent receive by Lessor from such reletting shall be applied; first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; fourth, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Lessor and applied to the payment of future Rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such Rent received from such reletting during any month, which is applied by the payment of Rent hereunder according to the application procedure outline above, be less than the Rent payable during that month by Lessee hereunder, then Lessee shall pay such deficiency to Lessor immediately upon demand therefor by Lessor. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Lessee shall also pay to Lessor, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting. 14.5 NO IMPLIED TERMINATION: No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Lessor pursuant to Section 14.3 or Section 14.4 of this Lease shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Lease or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Lessor because of any default by Lessee, Lessor may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such default. 15. SURRENDER OF LEASE: The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing sublease or sub tenancies, or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to him of any or all such sublease or sub tenancies. 16. TAXES: Lessee shall pay and discharge punctually and when the same shall become due and payable without penalty, all real estate taxes, personal property taxes, taxes based on vehicle utilizing parking area in the Premises, taxes computed or based on rental income (other than federal, state and municipal net income taxes), environmental surcharges, privilege taxes, excise taxes, business and occupation taxes, school fees or surcharges, gross receipts taxes, sales and/or use taxes, employee taxes, occupational license taxes, water and sewer taxes, assessments (including, but not limited to, assessments for public improvements or benefit), assessments for local improvement and maintenance districts, and all other governmental impositions and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever, regardless of whether now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto and regardless of whether resulting from increased rate and/or valuation, or whether extraordinary or ordinary, general or special, unforeseen or foreseen, or similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing (all of the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called "Tax" or "Taxes") which, at any time during the Lease Term, shall be applicable or against the Premises, or shall become due and payable and a lien or charge upon the Premises under or by virus of any present or future laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, or other requirements of any governmental authority whatsoever. The term "Environmental Surcharge" <PAGE> 37 shall include any and all expenses, taxes, charges or penalties imposed by the Federal Department of Energy, Federal Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Clean Air Act, or any regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other local, state or federal governmental agency or entity nor or hereafter vested with the power to impose taxes, assessments or other types of surcharges as a means of controlling or abating environmental pollution or the use of energy in regard to the use, operation or occupancy of the Premises. The term "Tax" shall include, without limitation, all taxes, assessments, levies, fees, impositions or charges levied, imposed, assessed, measured, or based in any manner whatsoever (i) in whole or in part on the Rent payable by Lessee under this Lease, (ii) upon or with respect to the use, possession, occupancy, leasing, operation or management of the Premises, (iii) upon this transaction or any document to which Lessee is a party creating or transferring an interest in or an estate in the Premises, (iv) upon Lessee's business operations conducted at the Premises, (v) upon, measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Lessee's equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located on the Premises or the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Lessee, regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be in Lessor or Lessee, or (vi) in lieu of or equivalent to any Tax set forth in this Section 16. In the event any such Taxes are payable by Lessor and it shall not be lawful for Lessee to reimburse Lessor for such Taxes, then the Rent payable thereunder shall be increased to net Lessor the same net rent after imposition of any such Tax upon Lessor as would have been payable to Lessor prior to the imposition of any such Tax. It is the intention of the parties that Lessor shall be free from all such Taxes and all other governmental impositions and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever. However, nothing contained in this Section 16 shall require Lessee to pay any Federal or State income, franchise, estate, inheritance, succession, transfer or excess profits tax imposed upon Lessor. If any general or special assessment is levied and assessed against the Premises, Lessor agrees to use its best reasonable efforts to cause the assessment to become a lien on the Premises, securing repayment of a bond sold to finance the improvements to which the assessment relates which is payable in installments of principal and interest over the maximum term allowed by law. It is understood and agreed that Lessee's obligation under this paragraph will be prorated to reflect the Commencement Date and the end of the Lease Term. It is further understood that if Taxes cover the Premises and Lessee does not occupy the entire Premises, the Taxes will be allocated to the portion of the Premises occupied by Lessee based on a pro-rata square footage or other equitable basis, as determined by Lessor. Subject to any limitations or restrictions imposed by any deeds of trust or mortgages now or hereafter covering or affecting the Premises, Lessee shall have the right to contest or review the amount or validity of any Tax by appropriate legal proceedings but which is not to be deemed or construed in any way as relieving, modifying or extending Lessee's covenant to pay such Tax at the time and in the manner as provided in this Section 16. However, as a condition of Lessee's right to contest, if such contested Tax is not paid before such contest and if the legal proceedings shall not operate to prevent or stay the collection of the Tax so contested, Lessee shall, before instituting any such proceeding, protect the Premises and the interest of Lessor and of the beneficiary of a deed of trust or the mortgagee of a mortgage affecting the Premises against any lien upon the Premises by a surety bond, issued by an insurance company acceptable to Lessor and in an amount equal to one and one-half (1 1/2) times the amount contested or, at Lessor's option, the amount of the contested Tax and the interest and penalties in connection therewith. Any contest as to the validity or amount of any Tax, whether before or after payment, shall be made by Lessee in Lessee's own name, or if required by law, in the name of Lessor or both Lessor and Lessee. Lessee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all costs or expenses, including attorney's fees, in connection with any such proceedings brought by Lessee, whether in its own name or not. Lessee shall be entitled to retain any refund of any such contested Tax and penalties or interest thereon which have been paid by Lessee. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as affecting or limiting Lessor's right to contest any Tax at Lessor's expense. 17. NOTICES. Unless otherwise provided for in this Lease, any and all written notices or other communication (the "Communication") to be given in connection with this Lease shall be given in writing and shall be given by personal deliver, facsimile transmission or by mailing by registered or certified mail with postage thereon or recognized overnight courier, fully prepaid, in a sealed envelope addressed to the intended recipient as follows: (a) to the Lessor at: 10050 Bandley Drive Cupertino, California 95014 Attention: Carl E.

Any Communication given by personal delivery shall be conclusively deemed to have been given and received on a date it is so delivered at such address provided that such date is a business day, otherwise on the first business day following its receipt, and if given by registered or certified mail, on the day on which delivery is made or refused or if given by recognized overnight courier, on the first business day following deposit with such overnight courier and if given by facsimile transmission, on the day on which it was transmitted provided such day is a business day, falling which, on the next business day thereafter. 18. ENTRY BY LESSOR: Lessee shall permit Lessor and its agents to enter into and upon said Premises at all reasonable times using the minimum amount of interference and inconvenience to Lessee and Lessee's business, subject to any security regulations of Lessee, for the purposes of inspecting the same or for the purpose of maintaining the building in which said Premises are situated, or for the purpose of making repairs, alterations or additions to any other portion of said building, including the erection and maintenance of such scaffolding, canopies, fences and props as may be required, without any rebate of Rent and without any liability to Lessee for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Premises; and shall permit Lessor and his agents, at any time within ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Lease Term, to place upon said Premises any usual or ordinary "For Sale" or "For Lease" signs and exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants at reasonable hours. 19. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES: In the event of a partial destruction of the said Premises during the Lease Term from any cause which is covered by Lessor's property insurance, Lessor shall forthwith repair the same, provided such repairs can be made within ninety (90) days after receipt of building permit under the laws and regulations of State, Federal, County, or Municipal authorities, but such partial destruction shall in no way annul or void this Lease, except that Lessee shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of Rent while such repairs are being made to the extent of payments received by Lessor under its Loss of Rents Insurance coverage. With respect to any partial destruction which Lessor is obligated to repair or may elect to repair under the terms of this paragraph, the provision of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and of Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of the State of California are waived by Lessee. In the event that the building in which the subject Premises may be situated is destroyed to an extent greater than thirty-three and one-third (33 1/3%) of the replaced cost thereof, Lessor may, at its sole option, elect to terminate this Lease, whether the subject Premises is insured or not. A total destruction of the building in which the subject Premises are situated shall terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding the above, Lessor is only obligated to repair or rebuild to the extent of available insurance proceeds including any deductible amount. Should Lessor determine that insufficient or no insurance proceeds are available for repair or reconstruction of Premises, Lessor, at its sole option, may terminate the Lease. Lessee shall have the option of continuing this Lease by agreeing to pay all repair costs to the subject Premises. 20. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: Lessee shall not assign this Lease, or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the said Premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant therein, or cause any other person or entity (a bona fide subsidiary or affiliate of Lessee excepted) to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without the advance written consent of Lessor. Any such assignment or subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall, at the option of the Lessor, terminate this Lease. This Lease shall not, or shall any interest therein, be assignable, as to the interest of Lessee, by operation of law, without the written consent of Lessor. Notwithstanding Lessor's obligation to provide reasonable approval, Lessor reserves the right to withhold its consent for any proposed sublessee or assignee of Lessee if the proposed sublessee or assignee is a user or generator of Hazardous Materials. If Lessee desires to assign under this Lease or to sublet, all or a portion of the subject Premises to a party other than a bona fide subsidiary or affiliate of Lessee, Lessee shall first notify Lessor of the proposed terms and conditions of such assignment or subletting. Lessor shall have the right of first refusal to enter into a direct Lessor-lessee relationship with such party under such proposed terms and conditions, in which event Lessee shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extract of the Lessor-lessee relationship entered into between Lessor and such third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee amy assign this Lease to a successor in interest, whether by merger or acquisition, provided there is no substantial reduction in the net worth of the resulting entity and the resulting entity is not a user or generator of Hazardous Materials. Whether or not Lessor's consent to a sublease or assignment is required, in the event of any sublease or Page 8 <PAGE> 39 assignment, Lessee shall be and shall remain primarily liable for the performance of all conditions, covenants, and obligations of Lessee hereunder and, in the event of a default by an assigned or sublessee, Lessor may proceed directly against the original Lessee hereunder and/or any other predecessor of such assignee or sublessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee or sublessee. Notwithstanding the above, Lessor hereby agrees that Lessee may sublease the Premises without Lessor's approval on a one time basis for a maximum period of sixty (60) months with no extensions. 21. CONDEMNATION: If any part of the Premises shall be taken for any public or quazi-public use, under any statute or by right of eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof, and a part thereof remains which is susceptible of occupation hereunder, this Lease shall as to the part so taken, terminate as of the date title vests in the condemnor or purchaser, and the Rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted so that the Lessee shall be required to pay for the remainder of the Lease Term only that portion of Rent as the value of the part remaining. The rental adjustment resulting will be computed at the same Renal rate for the remaining part not taken; however. Lessor shall have the option to terminate this Lease as of the date when title to the part so taken vests in the condemnor or purchaser. If all of the Premises, or such part thereof be taken so that there does not remain a portion susceptible for occupation hereunder, this Lease shall thereupon terminate. If a part or all of the Premises be taken, all compensation awarded upon such taking shall be payable to the Lessor. Lessee may file a separate claim and be entitled to any award granted to Lessee. 22. EFFECTS OF CONVEYANCE: The term "Lessor" as used in this Lease, means only the owner for the time being of the land and building constituting the Premises, so that, in the event of any sale of said land or building, or in the event of a Lease of said building, Lessor shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Lessor hereunder, and it shall be deemed and construed, without further agreement between the parties and the purchaser of any such sale, or the Lessor of the building, that the purchaser or Lessor of the building has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants and obligations of the Lessor hereunder. If any security is given by Lessee to secure the faithful performance of all or any of the covenants of this Lease, on the part of Lessee, Lessor may transfer and deliver the security, as such, to the purchaser at any such sale of the building, and thereupon the Lessor shall be discharged from any further liability. 23. SUBORDINATION: This Lease, in the event Lessor notifies Lessee in writing, shall be subordinate to any ground lease, deed of trust, or other hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the real property at which the Premises are a part and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions thereof. Lessee agrees to promptly execute any documents which may be required to effectuate such subordination. Notwithstanding such subordination, if Lessee is not in default and so long as Lessee shall pay the Rent and observe and perform all of the provisions and covenants required under this Lease, Lessee's right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed or affected by any subordination. 24. WAIVER: The waiver by Lessor of any breach of any term, covenant or condition, herein contained shall not be construed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the term or any other term, covenant or condition therein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Lessee's breach of any term, covenant, or condition of the Lease. 25. HOLDING OVER: Any holding over after the end of the Lease Term requires Lessor's written approval prior to the end of the Lease Term, which, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, Lessor may withhold. Such holding over shall be construed to be a tenancy at sufferance from month to month. Lessee shall pay to Lessor monthly base rent equal to one and one-half (1.5) times the monthly base rent installment due in the last month of the Lease Term and all other additional rent and all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply, so far as applicable. Holding over by Lessee without written approval of Lessor shall subject Lessee to the liabilities and obligations provided for in this Lease and by law, including, but not limited to those in Section 2 of this Lease. Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless against any loss or liability resulting from any delay caused by Lessee in surrendering the Premises, including without limitation, any claims made or penalties incurred by any succeeding lessee or by Lessor. No holding over shall be deemed or construed to exercise any option to extend or renew this Lease in lieu of full and timely exercise of any such option as required hereunder. Page 9 <PAGE> 40 26. LESSOR'S LIABILITY: If Lessee should recover a money judgment against Lessor arising in connection with this Lease, the judgment shall be satisfied only out of the Lessor's interest in the Premises and neither Lessor or any of its partners shall be liable personally for any deficiency. 27. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES: Lessee shall at any time during the Lease Term, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice from Lessor, execute and deliver to Lessor a statement in writing certifying that, this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification) and the date to which the Rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, and acknowledging that there are not, to Lessor's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Lessor hereunder or specifying such defaults if they are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises. Lessee's failure to deliver such a statement within such time shall be conclusive upon the Lessee that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Lessor; (b) there are no uncured defaults in Lessor's performance. 28. TIME: Time is of the essence of the Lease. 29. CAPTIONS: The headings on titles to the paragraphs of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part thereof. This instrument contains all of the agreements and conditions made between the parties hereto and may not be modified orally or in any other manner than by an agreement in writing signed by all of the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. 30. PARTY NAMES: Landlord and Tenant may be used in various places in this Lease as a substitute for Lessor and Lessee. 31. EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE: As a condition of Lessor agreeing to waive the requirement for earthquake insurance, Lessee agrees that it will pay, as additional Rent, which shall be included in the monthly CAC, an amount not to exceed Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) per year for earthquake insurance if Lessor desires to obtain some form of earthquake insurance in the future, if and when available, on terms acceptable to Lessor as determined in its sole and absolute discretion of Lessor. 32. HABITUAL DEFAULT: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 14 herein, Lessor and Lessee agree that if Lessee shall have defaulted in the payment of Rent for three or more times during any twelve month period during the Lease Term, then such conduct shall, at the option of the Lessor, represent a separate event of default which cannot be cured by Lessee. Lessee acknowledges that the purpose of this provision is to prevent repetitive defaults by the Lessee under the Lease, which constitute a hardship to the Lessor and deprive the Lessor of the timely performance by the Lessee hereunder. 33. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 33.1 As used in this Lease: a. The term "Hazardous Materials" shall mean (i) polychlorinated bipharytic; (ii) radioactive materials and (iii) any chemical, material or substance now or hereafter defined as or included in the definitions of "hazardous substance," "hazardous water", "hazardous material," "extremely hazardous waste," "restricted hazardous waste" under Section 25115, 25117 or 15122.7, or listed pursuant to Section 25140 of the California Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.5 (Hazardous Waste Control Law), (ii) defined as "hazardous substance" under Section 25316 of the California Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.8 (Carpenter-Presley-Turner Hazardous Substances Account Act), (iii) defined as "hazardous material," "hazardous substance," or "hazardous waste" under Section 25501 of the California Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.95 (Hazardous Materials Release, Response, Plans and Inventory), (iv) defined as a "hazardous substance" under Section 25181 of the California Health and Safety Code, Division 208, Chapter 6.7 (Underground Storage of Hazardous Substance), (v) petroleum, (vi) asbestos, (vii) listed under Article 9 or defined as "hazardous" or "extremely hazardous" pursuant to Article II of Title 22 of the California Administrative Code, Division 4, Chapter 20, (viii) defined as "hazardous substance" pursuant to Section 311 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq. or listed pursuant to Section 1004 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1317), (ix) defined as a "hazardous waste", pursuant to Section 1004 of the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq., (x) defined as "hazardous substance" pursuant to Page 10 <PAGE> 41 Section 101 of the Comprehensive Environmental Responsibility Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., or (xi) regulated under the Toxic Substance Control Act, 156 U.S.C. 2601 et seq. b.

OPTION: Lessor hereby grants to Lessee one (1) option to extend the Lease Term, with the extended term to be for a period of five (5) years, on the following terms and conditions: (i) Lessee shall give Lessor written notice of its exercise of its option to extend no earlier than twenty-four (24) calendar months, nor later than six (6) calendar months before the Lease Term would end but for said exercise. Time is of the essence. (ii) Lessee may not extend the Lease Term pursuant to any option granted by this Section 35 if Lessee is in default as of the date of the exercise of its option. If Lessee has committed a default by Lessee as defined in Section 14 or 32 that has not been cured or waived by Lessor in writing by the date that any extended term is to commence, then Lessor may elect not to allow the Lease Term to be extended, notwithstanding any notice given by Lessee of an exercise of this option to extend. (iii) All terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply during the extended term, except that the base rent and rental increases for each extended term shall be determined as provided in Section 35 (B) below. (iv) Lessee must provide Lessor written notice of its exercise of its option as provided hereunder at least nine (9) months before the Lease Term would end but for said exercise for purposes of negotiating rental terms. Lessee may withdraw its notice of exercise of an extension option for any reason prior to six (6) months before the Lease Term would end but for said exercise. Lessor shall provide Lessee with Lessor's proposed base monthly rent for the option period within twenty (20) days of Lessee's written request. However, once Lessee delivers a notice of exercise of an option to extend the Lease Term it may not be withdrawn unless notice in writing is provided to Lessor at least six (6) months before the Lease Term would end but for said exercise and, subject to the provisions of this Section 35, such notice shall operate to extend the Lease Term. Upon any extension of the Lease Term pursuant to this Section 35, the term "Lease Term" as used in this Lease shall thereafter include the then extended term. (v) The option rights of Xilinx, Inc. granted under this Section 35 are granted for Xilinx, Inc.'s personal benefit and may not be assigned or transferred by Xilinx, Inc. or exercised if Xilinx, Inc. is not occupying the Premises at the time of exercise. B. EXTENDED TERM RENT -- OPTION PERIOD: The monthly Rent for the Premises during the extended term shall equal nine-five percent (95%) of the fair market monthly Rent for the Premises as of the commencement date of the extended term, but in no case, less than the Rent during the last month of the prior Lease term. Promptly upon Lessee's exercise of the option to extend, Page 12 <PAGE> 43 Lessee and Lessor shall meet and attempt to agree on the fair market monthly Rent for the Premises as of the commencement date of the extended term. In the event the parties fail to agree upon the amount of the monthly Rent for the extended term prior to commencement thereof, the monthly Rent for the extended term shall be determined by appraisal in the manner hereafter set forth; provided, however, that in no event shall the monthly Rent for the extended term be less than in the immediate preceding period. Annual base rent increases during the extended term shall be three percent (3%) per year. In the event it becomes necessary under this paragraph to determine the fair market monthly Rent of the Premises by appraisal, Lessor and Lessee each shall appoint a real estate appraiser who shall be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraiser ("AIREA") and such appraisers shall each determine the fair market monthly Rent for the Premises taking into account the value of the Premises and the amenities provided by the outside areas, the common areas, and the Building, and prevailing comparable Rentals in the area. Such appraisers shall, within twenty (20) business days after their appointment, complete their appraisals and submit their appraisal reports to Lessor and Lessee. If the fair market monthly Rent of the Premises established in the two (2) appraisals varies by five percent (5%) or less of the higher Rent, the average of the two shall be controlling. If said fair market monthly Rent varies by more than five percent (5%) of the higher Rental, said appraisers, within ten (10) days after submission of the last appraisal, shall appoint a third appraiser who shall be a member of the AIREA and who shall also be experienced in the appraisal of Rent values and adjustment practices for commercial properties in the vicinity of the Premises. Such third appraiser shall, within twenty (20) business days after his appointment, determine by appraisal the fair market monthly Rent of the Premises taking into account the same factors referred to above, and submit his appraisal report to Lessor and Lessee. The fair market monthly Rent determined by the third appraiser for the Premises shall be controlling, unless it is less than that set forth in the lower appraisal previously obtained, in which case the value set forth in said lower appraisal shall be controlling, or unless it is greater than that set forth in the higher appraisal previously obtained in which case the Rent set for in said higher appraisal shall be controlling. If either Lessor or Lessee fails to appoint an appraiser, or if an appraiser appointed by either of them fails, after his appointment to submit his appraisal within the required period in accordance with the foregoing, the appraisal submitted by the appraiser properly appointed and timely submitting his appraisal shall be controlling. If the two appraisers appointed by Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon a third appraiser within the required period in accordance with the foregoing, application shall be made within twenty (20) days thereafter by either Lessor or Lessee to AIREA, which shall appoint a member of said institute willing to serve as appraiser. The cost of all appraisals under this subparagraph shall be borne equally be Lessor and Lessee. 36. APPROVALS: Whenever in this Lease the Lessor's or Lessee's consent is required, such consent shall not be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld or delayed. In the event that the Lessor or Lessee does not respond to a request for any consents which may be required of it in this Lease within ten business days of the request of such consent in writing by the Lessee or Lessor, such consent shall be determined to have been given by the Lessor or Lessee. 37. AUTHORITY: Each party executing this Lease represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver the Lease. If executed on behalf of a corporation, that the Lease is executed in accordance with the by-laws of said corporation (or a partnership that the Lease is executed in accordance with the partnership agreement of such partnership), that no other party's approval or consent to such execution and delivery is required, and that the Lease is binding upon said individual, corporation (or partnership) as the case may be in accordance with its terms. 38. INDEMNIFICATION OF LESSOR: Except to the extent caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or Lessor's Agents, Lessee shall defend, indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all obligations, losses, costs, expenses, claims, demands, attorney's fees, investigation costs or liabilities on account of, or arising out of the use, condition or occupancy of the Premises or any act or omission to act of Lessee or Lessee's Agents or any occurrence in, upon, about or at the Premises, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing provisions arising out of the use, generation, manufacture, installation, release, discharge, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Lessee or Lessors's Agents. It is understood that Lessee is and shall be in control and possession of the Premises and that Lessor shall in no event be responsible or liable for any injury or damage or injury to any person whatsoever, happening on, in, about, or in connection with the Premises, or for any injury or damage to the Premises or any part thereof. This Lease is entered into on the express condition that Lessor shall not be liable for, or suffer loss by reason of injury to person or property, from whatever cause, which in any way may be connected with the use, condition or occupancy of the Premises or personal property located herein. The provisions of this Lease permitting Lessor to enter and inspect the Premises are for the purpose of enabling Lessor to become informed as to whether Lessee is complying with the terms of this Lease and Lessor shall be under no duty to enter, inspect or to perform and of Lessee's Page 13 <PAGE> 44 covenants set forth in this Lease. Lessee shall further indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation to Lessee's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease. The provisions of Section 38 shall survive the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to any damage, injury or death occurring during the Lease Term. 40. Option to Purchase: Lessor grants to Lessee an option to purchase the Premises in accordance with the following terms and conditions: (a) In order to exercise this option to purchase, Lessee must notify Lessor in writing of such exercise between the ninth and twelfth months following the Commencement Date. This option shall be null and void if not exercised as stated herein before the expiration of the twelfth month of the initial Lease Term. (b) The purchase price shall be payable in cash or other immediately available funds, at close of escrow, which shall occur on a date chosen by Lessor but in any event (i) no earlier than thirty (30) days after Lessee has exercised its option to purchase and (ii) not later than the ninth month after Lessee has exercised its option to purchase. (c) (d) If Lessee exercises its option to purchase as provided for herein, Lessor shall deliver title to Lessee by grant deed, free and clear of all claims, liens, restrictions and encumbrances, other than current taxes, assessments, easements (all as of the date of Lessee's exercise of its option) and anything of record or not of record resulting from the acts or omissions of Lessee, and such other matters as Lessor and Lessee may mutually agree upon. (e) Both Lessor and Lessee agree to cooperate with each other in effectuating a tax-deferred exchange of the Property pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each party agrees to fully cooperate with any such exchange, provided that each party's obligations to the other shall be limited to its purchase or sale of the Property, as the case may be, in accordance with this paragraph 40 and the purchase and sale agreement to be executed by the parties as herein provided; neither party shall have any greater or different obligations and no lesser or different rights from those set forth in this paragraph and such purchase and sale agreement; neither to any cost or expense on account undertaken by the other party; and neither party shall have any responsibility whatsoever for the tax or nontax consequences of an exchange undertaken by the other party, or any liability arising out of holding title to facilitate such exchange (for which the exchanging party shall indemnify the cooperating party), including without limitation whether the tax efforts of any such exchange contemplated by such party and/or any third party to the exchange are in fact successfully realized. No such exchange shall delay or excuse any of the time periods specified in this paragraph or in the purchase and sale agreement to be executed by the parties as herein provided. Accordingly, if an exchange is contemplated but is not, for whatever reason, completed on the closing date agreed upon by the parties for the consummation of the sale of the Premises, the party which has undertaken such exchange (or both parties, if both parties have undertaken exchanges) nevertheless shall be obligated to close on the purchase and sale of the Premises at the time and in the manner such close would have occurred had such party (or both parties, if both parties have undertaken an exchange) not undertaken an exchange. (f) Three shall be no prorations as of the close of escrow and Lessee shall assume any assessments and Lessee shall pay all closing costs, transfer taxes, and escrow fees. Page 14 <PAGE> 45 (g) Lessee shall purchase the Premises in an "as is" condition without warranty or representation from Lessor. (h) Lessor and Lessee represent that they have not utilized or contacted a real estate broker or finder with respect to this option to purchase and Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless against any claim, cost, liability or cause of action asserted by any broker or finder claiming through Lessee. Lessor shall pay no brokerage commission in connection with this transaction. Lessor represents and warrants that it has not utilized or contacted a real estate broker or finder with respect to this option to purchase and Lessor agrees to indemnify and hold Lessee harmless against any claim, cost, liability or cause of action asserted by any broker or finder claiming through Lessor. 40. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: The covenants and conditions herein contained shall, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of all of the parties hereto; and all of the parties hereto shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder. 41. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS: All rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not alternative to the extent permitted by law and are in addition to all other rights or remedies in law and in equity. 42. CHOICE OF LAW: This lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of California. The language of all parts of this lease shall in all cases be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either Lessor or Lessee. 43.

Except as otherwise provided for herein, no subsequent change or addition to this Lease shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

Master Landlord Consent. Master Landlord is the landlord under the Lease ("Master Lease") entered into by and between Master Landlord, as landlord, and Xilinx, as tenant, dated July 31, 1999, for the Premises located at 2001 Logic Drive, San Jose, California (the "Premises"). Master Landlord hereby consents to the Sublease by Xilinx of the Premises to Quantum pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Sublease entered into by and between Xilinx and Quantum dated October 8, 1999. Master Landlord represents that, as of the date of Master Landlord's execution hereof, to the best of Master Landlord's knowledge, Xilinx is not in default or breach of any provisions of the Master Lease and that the Master Lease has not been amended or modified. 2. Attornment. If, after the expiration of the applicable cure period that Xilinx has in which to cure a default as tenant under the Master Lease, Xilinx fails to cure the default, Master Landlord shall notify Quantum of the default. If Quantum is not then in default under the Sublease, Master Landlord shall, in such case, recognize Quantum's right to quiet possession of the Premises, and Quantum shall remain in possession of the Premises and attorn to the Master Landlord as the tenant of the Premises under the terms and conditions of the Master Lease thereafter, and shall be entitled to all the rights of, and be bound by the obligations of, the tenant under the Master Lease, except that the termination date of the Master Lease shall automatically be amended to be the termination date of the Sublease.
