NETRO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:

     Netro Corporation (collectively, with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in California on November 14, 1994 and reincorporated in Delaware on June 19, 2001. Netro is a leading provider of broadband wireless equipment used by telecommunications service providers to provide businesses and residential customers with high speed voice and data access and used by mobile phone service providers for infrastructure applications. The Company operates in one business segment.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The Company has prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited but reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary in the opinion of management for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2002 and 2001.

     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Netro Corporation and its subsidiaries in Germany, France, Mexico and Israel. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

     Cash and cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Investments with maturities greater than three months and less than or equal to one year are classified as short-term marketable securities. Investments with maturities greater than one year are classified as long-term marketable securities. The Company’s investments, which mature at various dates through November 2003, consist of government and corporate debt securities and are classified as either “available-for-sale” or “held-to-maturity.” “Available-for-sale” investments are stated at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” on the balance sheet. “Held-to-maturity” investments are stated at amortized cost. Realized gains or losses from the sales of marketable securities are based on the specific identification method.

INVENTORY

     Inventory, which includes material and labor costs, is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company provides for estimated excess or obsolete inventory based upon assumptions about future demand for products and the conditions of the markets in which the products are sold. This provision to reduce inventory to net realizable value is reflected as a reduction to inventory in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Significant

management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing this provision. Inventory consists of the following (in thousands):

  $ 6,365     $ 6,874  
 
   
     
 

EQUITY INVESTMENTS

     From time to time, the Company makes equity investments in third parties. Equity investments in companies in which the Company does not exercise a significant influence (generally those in which the Company owns less than 20 percent of the voting stock outstanding) are accounted for using the cost method. Equity investments in which the Company exercises a significant but not controlling influence are accounted for using the equity method. Equity investments in which the Company exercises a controlling influence (generally those in which the Company owns more than 50 percent of the voting stock outstanding) are accounted for on a consolidated basis. Currently, there is one investment accounted for under the cost method. All other equity investments have been consolidated. Management evaluates all investments on an ongoing basis using estimates of undiscounted future cash flows. Any impairment of value is written down in the period in which it occurs.

ASSESSMENT OF IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS.

     The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate that long-lived assets may not be recoverable. In the recent past, many telecommunications equipment companies with significant long-lived intangible assets resulting from acquisition activity have incurred significant expenses associated with write-off of those long-lived assets. If the Company determines an asset has been impaired, the impairment is recorded based on the fair value of the impaired asset. As of March 31, 2002, long-lived assets included $27.8 million of intangible assets related to our acquisition of Project Angel and $9.3 million of fixed assets and tenant improvements.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION.

     Revenues consist of sales made directly to end users and indirectly through OEMs and local resellers. Revenues from product sales are recognized when all of the following conditions are met: the product has shipped, an arrangement exists with the customer and the right to invoice the customer exists, collection of the receivable is probable and the Company has fulfilled all of its material contractual obligations to the customer. Provisions are made at the time of revenue recognition for estimated warranty costs. If management believes that the collectability of a receivable is not assured, revenue recognition is deferred until such time as the amounts due have been collected. Some of the factors used in evaluating whether or not to defer revenue from a particular customer include:

          the customer’s liquid assets,
 
          actual and projected income statements for the customer,
 
          actual and projected cash flows for the customer,
 
          management’s estimate of the customer’s ability to secure future financing,
 
          the nature of the customer’s stockholder and lender base,
 
          the political and economic environment in the country in which the customer operates, and
 
          other intangible factors.

     As of March 31, 2002 the outstanding deferred revenue balance was $1.9 million, of which $1.1 million was related to sales to companies in Argentina. Argentina has suffered significant political and economic dislocations in periods subsequent to those in which revenue related to such receivables was recognized.

AMORTIZATION OF DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION

     Amortization of deferred stock compensation results from the granting of stock options to employees with exercise prices per share determined to be below the estimated fair values per share of the Company’s common stock at dates of grant. For the periods presented, amortization is classified as follows (in thousands):

NET LOSS PER SHARE

     Basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Potential common shares from the exercise of stock options and warrants are excluded from diluted net loss per share because they would be antidilutive. The total number of shares excluded from diluted net loss per share relating to these securities was as follows (in thousands):

                 
    Three months ended
    March 31,
   
    2002   2001

3. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK:

     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. With respect to trade receivables, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. Additionally, the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other available information. At March 31, 2002 approximately 72 percent of the Company’s trade accounts receivable balance was represented by three customers.

     Although the Company does not require collateral on certain accounts receivable on sales to large, well-established companies, it does require standby letters of credits or prepayments on certain sales to foreign and smaller companies. As of March 31, 2002 the Company had overdue accounts receivable of $4.1 million, of which $2.1 million was due from companies in Argentina. Argentina has suffered significant political and economic dislocations in periods subsequent to those in which revenue related to the receivables of approximately $1.0 million was recognized. The remaining $1.1 million was included in deferred revenue at March 31, 2002.

     With respect to cash equivalents and marketable securities, the Company has cash investment policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and restrict placement of these investments to issuers evaluated as creditworthy.

4. SEGMENT REPORTING:

     The Company is organized and operates as one operating segment dedicated to the design, development, manufacturing, marketing and selling of broadband wireless point-to-multipoint access systems. Revenue by geographic segment were as follows:

                                 
    Revenues   % of Total Revenues
   
 
    Three months ended   Three months ended

  $ 5,008     $ 9,131       100 %     100 %
 
   
     
     
     
 

     Substantially all of the Company’s U.S. revenues are related to products sold to OEMs and direct resellers. Almost all of their end customers are located outside of the U.S.

5. NON-RECURRING CHARGES:

     Included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2002 are $1.8 million in non-recurring charges related to various initiatives undertaken by the Company to reduce its cost structure. The Company closed Bungee Communications, Inc., the Company’s Israeli engineering facility and reduced its workforce in its San Jose, California headquarters location. The expenses included the termination of approximately 49 employees, the termination of the Bungee office lease and the write-down of assets associated with the Bungee operations. The following table summarizes the activity related to the non-recurring charges for the three months ended March 31, 2002 (in thousands):

6. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS:

     On February 12, 2002, the Company acquired AT&T Wireless’ fixed wireless development team, a license to intellectual property, inventory, equipment and proprietary software assets. The technology was originally developed under the code name “Project Angel”. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of assets. The purchase price was allocated based on the relative fair value of the assets acquired. The purchase consideration was approximately $48.8 million, consisting of 8.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at approximately $29.5 million, approximately $16.0 million in cash and transaction costs of approximately $3.3 million.

     A total of $45.7 million of the purchase consideration was allocated to intangible assets, including $24.9 million of developed and core technology, $17.6 million of in-process research and development costs, and $3.2 million of other intangibles, which include technical synergies and the competitive advantage in providing a one-stop fixed broadband wireless solution for its customers. The remaining $3.1 million of purchase consideration was allocation to fixed assets ($2.5 million) and inventory ($0.6 million). Acquired in-process research and development costs represent research and development projects relating to conforming the product to international standards and expanding product capacity. These projects had not yet reached technological feasibility and, accordingly, this amount was charged to operations in the three months ended March 31, 2002. The value of acquired in-process technology was computed using a discounted cash flow analysis on the anticipated income stream of the related product revenues. This analysis was conducted by an independent appraisal firm based on management’s forecast of future revenues, cost of revenues, and operating expenses related to the purchased technologies. The remaining intangible assets are being amortized over a three-year estimated useful life based on the product life cycle of the acquired technology.

7. DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASES:

     In January 1998, the Company entered into a bank line of credit under which up to $10,000,000 is available for borrowings and letters of credit. This arrangement was renewed in December 2000, March 2001 and again in April 2002, and expires in January 2004. Borrowings are limited to an aggregate amount equaling approximately 80 percent and 90 percent of domestic and foreign eligible trade accounts receivables, respectively, and 50 percent of eligible foreign inventories. The line of credit is secured by the Company’s trade accounts receivable and inventory. As of March 31, 2002, there were no borrowings outstanding under this agreement and amounts utilized for outstanding letters of credit were $6.6 million.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

COMMITMENTS

     The Company has outstanding a standby letter of credit for $240,000 to secure certain of the Company’s warranty obligations to one customer. The letter of credit is secured by a certificate of deposit for $80,000. The letter of credit is subject to draw if the Company fails to meet its warranty obligations to the customer.

     In addition, the Company has outstanding a letter of credit for $2.0 million ultimately expiring October 2006 as a security deposit for the Company’s San Jose, California office space. In February 2002, the Company issued a letter of credit for $4.2 million ultimately expiring July 2006 as a security deposit for the Company’s Redmond, Washington office space. These letters of credit are subject to draw if the Company fails to meet its obligations under the facilities leases.

CONTINGENCIES

     Coates Litigation. On or around October 5, 2001, C. Robert Coates, a holder of shares of the Company’s common stock, commenced an action in the Delaware Chancery Court against the Company, the former Netro Corporation, which was incorporated in California (“Netro California”), and the members of the Company’s board of directors, styled Coates v. Netro Corp., et al., C.A. No. 19154 (“Coates I”). The complaint in Coates I makes a number of allegations relating to the approval by the stockholders of Netro California of the merger transaction by which the Company’s state of incorporation was changed from California to Delaware, including that the disclosures to shareholders in connection with that proposed transaction were incomplete or misleading in various respects. The complaint also alleges that the adoption by the Company’s board of directors of a stockholder rights plan sometime after that merger transaction was in violation of Delaware law. The complaint seeks (1) to invalidate or rescind the merger transaction or, in the alternative, to obtain an order directing a new stockholder vote on that transaction; (2) to invalidate or reform the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws to eliminate certain alleged “anti-takeover provisions” contained in them; (3) to have the stockholder rights plan declared invalid or to obtain an order compelling the directors to redeem the rights distributed to the Company’s stockholders thereunder; and (4) to recover monetary damages in an unspecified amount, as well as plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and expenses in bringing the action.

     On November 30, 2001, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in Coates I for failure to state a claim. Mr. Coates served his answering brief responding to that motion on or around March 20, 2002, and on April 11, 2002, defendants served their reply brief. In addition, on or around October 30, 2001, Mr. Coates made a motion purportedly for partial summary judgment on two issues: first, that section 2.12 of the Company’s bylaws, relating to the business that may be brought before a special meeting of stockholders, allegedly is invalid and second, that the definition of “beneficial owner” in the Company’s rights plan allegedly unduly interferes with stockholders’ ability to convene a special meeting. Mr. Coates filed his opening brief in support of this motion on or around November 20, 2001; defendants served their responsive brief and supporting materials on December 21, 2001; and Mr. Coates served a reply brief on or around February 15, 2002.

     Separately, on or around December 10, 2001, Mr. Coates filed a complaint in a second action that names as defendants the Company and certain members of its board of directors, styled Coates v. Netro Corp., et al., C.A. No. 19309 (“Coates II”). In the complaint in that action, Mr. Coates challenges a stock option cancellation and regrant program that was described in the 2001 proxy statement in connection with the approval by the stockholders of Netro California of an amendment to the Company’s 1996 stock option plan. Mr. Coates claims that the discussion in the proxy statement about the proposed amendment to the stock option plan and the stock option cancellation and regrant program was incomplete or misleading and that the stock option cancellation and regrant program violated the terms of the stock option plan, inter alia, because options were issued under that program with exercise prices at the then-prevailing market price for the Company’s common stock rather than the alleged “fair value” of that stock. The complaint seeks an order declaring the options issued in the program to be invalid and void, rescinding those options, preliminarily and permanently enjoining the exercise of those options, imposing a constructive trust on any such options that were granted to defendants, and awarding monetary damages in an unspecified amount as well as plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses.

     On January 2, 2002, defendants filed a motion to stay or dismiss the complaint in Coates II and on April 1, 2002, defendants served their opening brief in support of that motion.

     The Company and the other defendants believe the claims asserted by Mr. Coates in both of these actions are without merit, and they intend to vigorously defend themselves against those claims.

     IPO Allocation Litigation. On or around August 23, 2001, Ramiro Soto-Gonzalez, who alleges that he is a former shareholder of the Company’s common stock, commenced a purported class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, Richard Moley, Gideon Ben-Efraim and Michael T. Everett (“Individual Defendants”), and Dain Rauscher, Inc., FleetBoston Robertson Stephens, Inc., and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith, Inc. (“Underwriter Defendants”). The action is styled Soto-Gonzalez v. Netro Corporation, Inc., et al., No. 01 Civ. 7993 (S.D.N.Y.). On or around December 6, 2001, Zion Badichi, who alleges that he is a former shareholder of the Company’s common stock, commenced a purported class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, the Individual Defendants (except Mr. Moley) and the Underwriter Defendants. The action is styled Badichi v. Netro Corporation, Inc., et al., No. 01 Civ. 8348 (S.D.N.Y.).

     The Soto-Gonzalez and Badichi actions are two of more than 1,000 lawsuits currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against more than 300 different issuers, certain officers and directors of these issuers and more than 45 different underwriters arising out of initial public offerings occurring between December 1997 and December 2000 (collectively “IPO Allocation Litigation”). By Order dated August 9, 2001, Chief Judge Michael B. Mukasey assigned the IPO Allocation Litigation, including the Soto-Gonzalez and Badichi actions, to the Honorable Shira A. Scheindlin for all pre-trial purposes. On September 7, 2001, Judge Scheindlin adjourned the time for all defendants in the IPO Allocation Litigation, including the Company and the Individual Defendants, to answer, move or otherwise respond to current and future complaints indefinitely pending further instruction from the court. On or about March 2002, the Soto-Gonzalez and Badichi actions were consolidated into a single action styled In re Netro Corp. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 01 Civ. 7035, 21 MC 92 (SAS) (“Netro Litigation”). Other lawsuits alleging similar claims arising out of the Company’s August 1999 initial public offering against the Underwriter Defendants — but not against the Company or the Individual Defendants — were also consolidated into the Netro Litigation. Those actions are styled Gutner v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated et al., No. 01 Civ. 7035 (S.D.N.Y.) and Bryant v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated et al., No. 01 Civ. 9184 (S.D.N.Y.).

     On April 19, 2002, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint in the Netro Litigation (“Complaint”). The Complaint alleges claims against the Company arising under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“’33 Act”) and Section 10-b of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and against the Individual Defendants under Section 10(b), Rule 10b-5 and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Section 15 of the ‘33 Act. The claims allege various misconduct arising from the Company’s August 1999 initial public offering and March 2000 follow-on offering of its common stock, including, among other things, that the disclosures made in connection with the offerings were incomplete or misleading in various respects. The allegations include, among other things, that the Company and the Individual Defendants failed to disclose that the Underwriter Defendants: (1) charged the Company excessive commissions and inflated transaction fees in violation of the securities laws and regulations; and (2) allowed certain investors to take part in the Company’s initial public offering in exchange for promises that these investors would purchase additional shares in the after-market for the purpose of inflating and maintaining the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Complaint seeks to certify a class of shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock between August 18, 1999 and December 6, 2000, and to recover monetary damages from defendants in an unspecified amount, as well as plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and expenses in bringing the action.

     The IPO Allocation Litigation in general, and the Netro Litigation in particular, are in the earliest stages. The Company and the Individual Defendants believe the claims asserted against them in the Netro Litigation are without merit, and they intend vigorously to defend themselves against those claims.

     Other Matters. From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently involved in any additional litigation which, in management’s opinion, would have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results or financial condition; however, there can be no assurance that any such proceeding will not escalate or otherwise become material to the Company’s business in the future.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

     You should read the following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

     This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements which include, but are not limited to, statements concerning projected revenues, gross profit (loss), and expenses, the need for additional capital and market acceptance of our products. The forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by us. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, our actual results could differ substantially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.

OVERVIEW

     We are a leading provider of broadband, point-to-multipoint, fixed wireless equipment. Telecommunications service providers use our equipment to provide voice and high speed data access connections to end users, or between locations in the metropolitan telecommunications network, as an alternative to using wired or other connectivity. Our products are designed to provide access connectivity to residences and small and mid-sized businesses, as well as to provide infrastructure transmission connections between mobile phone service hubs and the core mobile telecommunications network. We began commercially shipping our first point-to-multipoint product, AirStar, in 1998 and have a significant installed base for this product. AirStar is mainly targeted at service providers offering voice and high speed data services to small and mid-sized enterprises and mobile telephone service providers for infrastructure applications. AirStar operates at the higher end of the licensed frequency spectrum (10 – 39 GHz) with support for an additional frequency in the lower range (3.5 GHz).

     In February 2002, we acquired from AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. its fixed wireless development team, a license to intellectual property, inventory, equipment and proprietary software assets. The technology was originally developed under the code name “Angel.” The Angel product was commercially deployed in the United States by AT&T Wireless and is a proven and mature platform that is mainly targeted at service providers offering voice and high speed data services to residential and small business customers, segments we do not address with the AirStar platform. Angel operates at the lower end of the licensed frequency spectrum (1.9 – 3.5 GHz). We plan to sell the Angel system internationally, and are in the process of modifying the Angel platform to conform to international standards, including adding frequency options that are more typically used in international markets, such as 3.5 GHz. We expect these modifications to be complete in the second half of 2002.

     Both the AirStar and Angel platforms have been designed to minimize the costs of deployment and operation and to permit operators to offer a broad range of voice, Internet Protocol, and data services. When modifications to the Angel platform are complete, we will offer complete solutions that operate at point-to-multipoint frequencies licensed in every major geography in the world, including Europe, Asia, North America and Central and South America, which we believe is a significant competitive advantage.

     We currently develop, manufacture and sell the AirStar product for access offerings to small and mid-sized business and mobile infrastructure, and are developing the Angel platform for access offerings to residences and small businesses. We expect our Angel platform modifications to be completed during the second half of 2002. Each of our product lines is comprised of three principal components:

          Customer Premise Equipment, which includes a radio element which sends and receives signals to and from the hub equipment, and a digital signal processing unit, which connects and provides interfaces to the end-user’s telecommunications and/or data network;

13


Table of Contents

          Hubs, which include several radio elements, each of which sends and receives signals from multiple customer premise equipment units, and an aggregation unit, which aggregates data from the outdoor units and interfaces to the telecommunications service provider’s core network; and
 
          Network Management Software, which controls and monitors the operation of hubs and customer premise equipment.

     We sell our products indirectly through OEMs and local resellers in addition to through a direct sales force. Our sales to OEMs comprised approximately 35 percent of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 51 percent of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Due to ongoing realignments of our relationships with certain of our OEM partners, we are uncertain what portion of revenues OEMs will represent in future periods. However, in the event of continued significant declines in indirect sales, we will be required to continue to improve and expand our internal sales, customer advocacy and administration functions. Furthermore, as a result of these realignments we could experience order delays and order cancellations and, therefore, revenues during the remaining quarters of 2002 could be adversely affected. We experienced such cancellations and loss of orders during 2001. Overall, our visibility regarding potential future revenues is unclear.

     International revenues represented approximately 94 percent of total revenues for the first three months of 2002 and 54 percent of total revenues for the first three months of 2001. However, substantially all of our domestic revenues are related to products sold to OEMs. Most of the end customers to whom the OEMs have resold or plan to resell these products are in international locations. With international revenues comprising such a large proportion of our total revenues, our revenues can be significantly impacted by changes in the economy of a geography or particular country. For example, in the first quarter of 2001, 41 percent of our revenues were from Argentina. Revenues from Argentina constituted 30 percent of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001. However, as a result of recent economic dislocations in Argentina, we did not accept any orders or recognize any revenue from Argentina in the first quarter of 2002.

     We outsource substantially all of our volume product manufacturing and assembly to contract manufacturers. We maintain a small facility for prototype production in support of our research and development efforts. We expect to continue to outsource substantially all of our product manufacturing for both AirStar and Angel product lines to contract manufacturers.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Revenue Recognition. Revenues consist of sales made directly to end users and indirectly through OEMs and local resellers. Revenues from product sales are recognized when all of the following conditions are met: the product has shipped, an arrangement exists with the customer and we have the right to invoice the customer, collection of the receivable is probable and we have fulfilled all of our material contractual obligations to the customer. Provisions are made at the time of revenue recognition for estimated warranty costs. If we believe that the collectability of a receivable is not assured, we defer revenue recognition from such shipment until such time as the amounts due have been collected. Some of the factors that we use in evaluating whether or not to defer revenue from a particular customer include:

          the customer’s liquid assets,
 
          actual and projected income statements for the customer,
 
          actual and projected cash flows for the customer,
 
          our estimate of the customer’s ability to secure future financing,
 
          the nature of the customer’s stockholder and lender base,
 
          the political and economic environment in the country in which the customer operates, and
 
          other intangible factors.

     As of March 31, 2002 we had an outstanding deferred revenue balance of $1.9 million, of which $1.1 million was related to sales to companies in Argentina. In addition, at March 31, 2002, we had a total of $2.1 million in outstanding receivables from companies in Argentina, all of which was overdue. Argentina has suffered significant political and economic dislocations in periods subsequent to those in which we recognized revenue related to such receivables. In the

14


Table of Contents

event that we recognize revenues for which the related receivable is not ultimately collected, and such receivable is in excess of the applicable allowances, our financial statements would be adversely affected.

     Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other available information. At March 31, 2002, approximately 72 percent of the Company’s trade accounts receivable balance was represented by three customers. Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.5 million, was $5.5 million at March 31, 2002 and $3.4 million at December 31, 2001. We believe that we have sufficient allowances for doubtful accounts to address the risk associated with our outstanding accounts receivable.

     Equity Investments. From time to time, we make equity investments in third parties. Equity investments in companies in which we do not exercise a significant influence (generally those in which we own less than 20 percent of the voting stock outstanding) are accounted for using the cost method. Equity investments in which we exercise a significant but not controlling influence are accounted for using the equity method. Equity investments in which we exercise a controlling influence (generally those in which we own more than 50 percent of the voting stock outstanding) are consolidated into our financial statements. Currently, we have one investment accounted for under the cost method. All other equity investments are consolidated into our financial statements. We evaluate our investments on an ongoing basis using estimates of undiscounted future cash flows. Any impairment of value is written down in the period in which it occurs.

     Assessment of Impairment of Long-lived Assets. We periodically evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate that long-lived assets may not be recoverable. In the recent past, many telecommunications equipment companies with significant long-lived intangible assets resulting from acquisition activity have incurred significant expenses associated with write-off of those long-lived assets. If we determine an asset has been impaired, the impairment is recorded based on the fair value of the impaired asset. As of March 31, 2002, long-lived assets included $27.8 million of intangible assets related to our acquisition of Project Angel and $9.3 million of fixed assets and tenant improvements.

     Provision for Excess and Obsolete Inventory. Inventory, which includes material and labor costs, is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. We maintain a reserve for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory based upon assumptions about future demand for our products, changes or revisions of our products, and the conditions of the markets in which our products are sold. This provision to reduce inventory to net realizable value is reflected as a reduction to inventory in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing these reserves. If actual market conditions are less favorable than our assumptions, additional reserves may be required.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     In the current quarter, we experienced a continuation of the reduced revenue levels experienced over the past several quarters. This was exacerbated by the reduction in sales to Argentina, which was partially offset by an increase of sales in Europe. These sales to Europe produced lower average selling prices which adversely affected the current quarter margins. In the first quarter of 2001, gross loss was heavily affected by $23.2 million in provision for excess and obsolete inventory and other material-related contracts. Current quarter operating results were impacted by $1.8 million in non-recurring charges in general and administrative expenses in addition to the $17.6 million in acquired in-process research and development expenses related to the Angel acquisition written off during the period. First quarter 2001 operating results contain $2.0 million in provision for doubtful accounts.

     Revenues. Revenues primarily consist of sales of the AirStar system. Revenues decreased to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $6.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in revenues compared to the fourth quarter of 2001 was principally related to the economic crisis in Argentina, which provided 20 percent of our revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2001, but which provided 0 percent of revenue for the first quarter of 2002. Increased revenue from Europe compared to the immediately preceding quarter partially offset this loss of revenues. The decline in revenue compared to the three months ended March 31, 2001 was principally related to reduced demand from competitive local exchange carriers in Europe. We expect average selling prices to fall in the foreseeable future.

     Revenues by geography based on the location of our original customers were as follows:

     Substantially all of our domestic revenues are related to products sold to OEMs. Almost all of their end customers are located in Europe. The significant decline in revenues to the United States compared to the first quarter of 2001 is primarily due to reduced demand from competitive local exchange carriers in Europe who had principally been served by United States OEMs. In addition, we have realigned our relationship with Lucent, our largest United States OEM partner, such that we are now dealing with their European affiliates.

*   Revenues less than 10 percent for period

     Gross Profit (Loss). Gross profit (loss) represents total revenues less the cost of revenues. Cost of revenues consists of contract manufacturing costs, material costs, labor costs, manufacturing overhead, warranty reserves and other direct product costs. Gross profit was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and a loss of $21.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 12 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to 14 percent for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and a loss of 236 percent for the same period in 2001. The decrease in gross profit on a dollar basis as well as on a percentage basis compared to the fourth quarter of 2001 is due primarily to a shift in sales from Latin America to Europe where our sales tend to be through resellers. The increase in gross profit on a dollar basis as well as on a percentage basis compared to the first quarter of 2002 primarily reflects charges of $23.2 million in 2001 related to excess and obsolete inventory and other material-related commitments and an increase in the proportion of revenues from direct sales, partially offset by an increase in the proportion of revenues from customer premise equipment as opposed to hub equipment and a sales volume insufficient to fully absorb manufacturing expenses. In addition, the first quarter 2002 gross profit was positively affected by the sale of some products which had been fully reserved for obsolescence but which we were able to sell to customers. Although these sales were at significant discounts to the original cost of goods sold associated with these products, the net impact was to increase gross profit due to the reserves previously taken. The total amounts added to gross profit during the first quarter of 2002 as a result of these changes was approximately $0.2 million.

     We have experienced substantial fluctuations in gross profit in past quarters. The principal drivers of the fluctuations, other than the inventory and material-related commitments in 2001, are the level of revenues, the product sales mix and the customer sales mix. In general, customer premise equipment sales result in lower gross profit percentages than hub sales. The unit ratio of customer premise equipment sales to hub sales was 30:1 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to 25:1 for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 37:1 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. We expect the ratio of unit sales of customer premise equipment to hub unit sales to continue to be in excess of 25:1 in future periods. Sales to OEMs generate lower gross profit percentages than sales to local resellers or direct sales to customers. Sales to OEMs represented 35 percent of revenues in the first three months of 2002, compared to 51 percent of revenues for the same period in 2001. In addition, we expect average selling prices for our products to decline during the remaining quarters of 2002 due to competitive forces. We have initiatives underway to reduce direct manufacturing and indirect manufacturing overhead costs. However, to the extent that we are unable to reduce our product costs at a rate faster than the rate at which average selling prices and/or total revenues decline, gross profit as a percentage of revenues will continue to decline during 2002.

     Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist of compensation costs, the cost of software development tools, consultant fees and prototype expenses related to the design, development and testing of our products. Research and development expenses were $7.2 million or 144 percent of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $5.8 million or 90 percent of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and $7.7 million or 85 percent of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase in research and development expenses on a dollar basis compared to the fourth quarter of 2001 was due primarily to an increase of $1.7 million in personnel and related compensation costs due to the addition of approximately 114 research and development personnel related to the Angel acquisition, partially offset by the loss of approximately 16 personnel due to the closure of Bungee Communications, Inc. and 27 research and development personnel in our San Jose, California headquarters

17

location. There was also an increase of approximately $0.2 million of equipment-related expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $0.5 million in third-party engineering, prototype and other expenses related to the timing of the development and release of new product features for the AirStar system. The decrease in research and development expenses on a dollar basis compared to the first quarter of 2001 was primarily due to a decrease of $1.2 million in third-party engineering, prototype and other expenses related to the timing of the development and release of new product features for the AirStar system. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million in personnel and related compensation costs due to an increase of approximately 114 research and development personnel related the Angel Acquisition, partially offset by the loss of approximately 16 personnel due to the closure of Bungee Communications, Inc. and 27 research and development personnel in our San Jose, California headquarters location. We expect research and development expenses to increase on a dollar basis in the future quarters as we prepare the Angel platform to conform to international standards.

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation costs, commissions, travel and related expenses for marketing, sales, customer advocacy and field service support personnel, as well as product management, trade show and promotional expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $3.7 million or 74 percent of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $3.2 million or 50 percent of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and $3.8 million or 41 percent of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase in sales and marketing expenses on a dollar basis compared to the fourth quarter of 2001 was due primarily to $0.4 million of marketing expenses related to trade shows occurring during the first quarter of 2002. The slight decrease in sales and marketing expenses on a dollar basis compared to the first quarter of 2001 was due primarily to decreased promotional and equipment expenses of $0.1 million. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase on a dollar basis in future periods as we prepare for the release of the international version of Angel and as we expand our sales presence in China and other Asian markets.

     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation costs and related expenses for executive, finance, management information systems, human resources and administrative personnel. These expenses also include professional fees, facilities and other general corporate expenses, such as non-recurring charges and provisions for doubtful accounts. General and administrative expenses were $6.3 million or 125 percent of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $4.0 million or 62 percent of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and $5.0 million or 54 percent of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase in general and administrative expenses on a dollar basis compared to both periods was primarily due to $1.8 million in non-recurring charges relating to the closure of Bungee Communications, Inc., our Israeli engineering facility and additional severance costs associated with a reduction in force at our San Jose, California headquarters in February 2002. These non-recurring charges consist of $0.8 million associated with the termination of approximately 49 employees, the write-down of $0.8 million in assets associated with the Bungee operations, the termination of the Bungee office lease and other expenses of $0.2 million. The remaining increase in general and administrative expenses compared to the fourth quarter of 2001 was due primarily to increased personnel and related expenses of $0.3 million due to the addition of 13 general and administrative personnel related to the Angel acquisition and $0.1 million of additional rent expense due to the addition of the Redmond, Washington facility. The remaining change in general and administrative expenses compared to the first quarter of 2001 was primarily due to a $2.0 million charge to the provision for doubtful accounts in the first quarter of 2001, partially offset by increased facilities costs of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2002 associated with increased rent expense on our San Jose, California facility and the addition of the Redmond, Washington facility due to the Angel acquisition. Also in the first quarter of 2002 we incurred increased personnel and related expenses of $0.3 million due to the addition of 13 general and administrative personnel related to the Angel Acquisition, and increased director and officer insurance and other miscellaneous expenses of $0.3 million. We expect general and administrative expenses on a dollar basis, exclusive of one-time charges, to continue at a similar level in future periods.

     Amortization of Deferred Stock Compensation. Amortization of deferred stock compensation results from the granting of stock options to employees with exercise prices per share determined to be below the estimated fair values per share of our common stock at dates of grant. The deferred compensation that results is being amortized to expense over the vesting periods of the individual options, generally four years. A total of $4.8 million of deferred stock compensation was recorded in 1998 and 1999. Amortization of deferred stock compensation was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, December 31, 2001, and March 31, 2001.

     Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets. In February 2002, in connection with the Angel acquisition, we acquired approximately $24.9 million of developed and core technology and $3.3 million of other intangibles, which

18


Table of Contents

include technical synergies and the competitive advantage in providing a one-stop fixed broadband wireless solution for its customers. These intangible assets will be amortized over a three-year estimated useful life based on the product life cycle of the acquired technology. We expect future quarterly amortization to be approximately $2.3 million.

     Acquired In-process Research and Development. In February 2002, in connection with the Angel acquisition, we acquired approximately $17.6 million of in-process research and development costs. These costs represent research and development projects that had not yet reached technological feasibility. Accordingly, this amount was charged to operations in the first quarter of 2002. The value of acquired in-process technology was computed using a discounted cash flow analysis on the anticipated income stream of the related product revenues.

     Other Income, Net. Other income, net, consists primarily of interest income earned on low-risk marketable securities and interest paid on outstanding capital leases. Other income, net decreased to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $2.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, due to the decrease in cash balances and lower market interest rates.

     Income Taxes. We have incurred a net loss for each fiscal year since inception. Recorded income taxes represent taxes paid by our foreign subsidiaries.

RISKS

     Our quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future. It is likely that in some future quarter our operating results will again fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In this event, the market price of our common stock could significantly decline.

     Some of the factors that could affect our quarterly or annual operating results include the following:

          We have a history of losses, expect future losses and may never achieve profitability
 
          If we are unable to change our customer base, our revenues will continue to decline and our results of operations will suffer
 
          Due to our limited operating history, it is difficult to predict future operating results or our stock price
 
          Our future operating results are dependent on the sales of two similar product lines serving an emerging market. If revenues from these products do not meet our expectations, we will not have other products to offset the negative impact on our operating results
 
          If we are not able to successfully modify, market and sell our new Angel product, anticipated benefits of our acquisition of assets from AT&T Wireless may never be achieved
 
          If we are unable to integrate successfully the employees, technologies and other assets we acquired from AT&T Wireless into our company, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition
 
          If we cannot reduce our product costs, our results of operations will suffer
 
          If we do not succeed in developing relationships directly with telecommunications service providers and in strengthening our direct and indirect sales channels, our business will be harmed
 
          Many projects that include our products require system integration expertise and third-party financing, which we are unable to provide. If sources for system integration or financing cannot be obtained as needed, service providers may not select our products
 
          The majority of service providers using our products are international and payments from them are dependent on the political and economical situation in those countries
 
          Intense competition in the market for communications equipment could prevent us from increasing or sustaining revenues or achieving or sustaining profitability
 
          We have a long sales cycle, which could cause our results of operations and stock price to fluctuate
 
          We may purchase significant inventory for planned sales which do not materialize

19


Table of Contents

          Our products may contain defects that could harm our reputation, be costly to correct, expose us to litigation and harm our operating results
 
          Our business is subject to many factors that could cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate and our stock price to be volatile
 
          We depend on contract manufacturers. If these manufacturers are unable to fill our orders on a timely basis, and we are unable to find alternative sources, we may be unable to deliver products to meet customer orders
 
          If we do not meet product introduction deadlines, our business will be harmed
 
          Because some of our key components are from sole source suppliers or require long lead times, our business is subject to unexpected interruptions, which could cause our operating results to suffer
 
          If high speed wireless telecommunications technology or our implementation of this technology is not accepted by service providers, we will not be able to sustain or grow our business
 
          Because we must sell our products in many countries that have different regulatory schemes, if we cannot develop products that work with different standards, we will be unable to sell our products
 
          If we are unable to manage our international operations effectively, our business would be adversely affected
 
          We face risks associated with shareholder litigation
 
          Claims that we infringe third-party intellectual property rights could result in significant expenses or restrictions on our ability to sell our products in particular markets
 
          We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property
 
          Line-of-sight limitations inherent to our AirStar products may limit deployment options and have an adverse affect on our sales
 
          If we are unable to hire or retain our personnel, we might not be able to operate our business successfully
 
          Major stockholders have substantial control over us, which could delay or prevent a change in control
 
          Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, our stockholder rights plan and Delaware law could discourage or prevent a potential takeover, even if the transaction would benefit our stockholders

     For more information on the risks related to our Company, see the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

     Most of our expenses, such as employee compensation and lease payments for facilities and equipment, are relatively fixed in the near term. In addition, our expense levels are based, in part, on our expectations regarding future revenues. As a result, any shortfall in revenues relative to our expectations could cause significant changes in our operating results from quarter to quarter. Due to the foregoing factors, we believe period-to-period comparisons of our revenue levels and operating results are not meaningful. You should not rely on our quarterly revenues and operating results to predict our future performance.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of March 31, 2002, cash and cash equivalents were $93.6 million, short-term marketable securities were $94.5 million and long-term marketable securities were $106.7 million. We have a $10.0 million bank line of credit. As of March 31, 2002, there were no borrowings outstanding and amounts utilized for outstanding letters of credit were $6.6 million under this agreement. The line of credit is secured by eligible outstanding accounts receivable and inventory. Any borrowings under the line would accrue interest at the 30-day LIBOR plus 1.5% or the bank’s prime rate, at our option. Capital lease obligations were $1.0 million at March 31, 2002. Future operating lease obligations were $19.4 million at March 31, 2002.

     Cash used in operating activities was $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $8.0 million for the same period in 2001. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was primarily due to the net loss, adjusted for non-cash charges of $19.9 million, including the $17.6 million write-off of acquired in-

20


Table of Contents

process research and development. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was primarily due to the net loss, adjusted for provisions for inventory, material-related contract, and doubtful accounts totaling $25.2 million and decreases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses.

     Cash provided by investing activities was $15.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $12.7 million for the same period in 2001. Cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was due primarily to net maturities of marketable securities of $32.6 million, partially offset by $16.0 million of cash used for the Angel acquisition. Cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was primarily due to net maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements.

     Cash provided by financing activities was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $1.2 million for the same period in 2001. Cash provided by financing activities for both periods was primarily due to proceeds from issuances of common stock via the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and the exercise of stock options, partially offset by payments on capital leases.

     The capital required for volume manufacturing is being committed by our contract manufacturers. We provide six or twelve month forecasts to our contract manufacturers. In specific instances we may agree to assume liability for limited quantities of specialized components with long lead times.

     We have no other material commitments. Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the timing of research and product development efforts and expansion of our marketing efforts. We expect to continue to expend significant but smaller amounts on property and equipment related to the expansion of our facilities, and on laboratory and test equipment for research and development.

     We believe that our cash and cash equivalents balances, short-term and long-term marketable securities and funds available under our existing line of credit will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. We intend to invest our cash in excess of current operating requirements in interest-bearing, investment-grade marketable securities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     There has not been a material change in our exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risks since the date of our annual report on Form 10-K.

     Foreign Currency Hedging Instruments. We transact business in various foreign currencies and, accordingly, we are subject to exposure from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. To date, the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on revenues and operating expenses have not been material. Substantially all of our revenues are earned in U.S. dollars. Operating expenses incurred by our foreign subsidiaries are denominated primarily in local currencies. We currently do not use financial instruments to hedge these operating expenses. We intend to assess the need to utilize financial instruments to hedge currency exposures on an ongoing basis.

     We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

     Fixed Income Investments. Our exposure to market risks from changes in interest rates relates primarily to corporate debt securities. We place our investments with high credit quality issuers and, by policy, limit the amount of the credit exposure to any one issuer.

     Our general policy is to limit the risk of principal loss and ensure the safety of invested funds by limiting market and credit risk. All highly liquid investments with a maturity of less than three months at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents; all investments with maturities of three months or greater and less than one year are considered to be short-term marketable securities; all investments with maturities greater than one year are considered to be long-term marketable securities. All investments are classified as either “available for sale” or “held-to-maturity” and consist of government and corporate debt securities.

     The SEC’s rule related to market risk disclosure requires that we describe and quantify our potential losses from market risk sensitive instruments attributable to reasonably possible market changes. We are exposed to changes in interest rates on our investments in marketable securities. All of our investments are in funds that hold investment grade commercial paper, treasury bills or other U.S. government obligations. This investment policy reduces our exposure to

21


Table of Contents

long-term interest rate changes. A hypothetical 100 basis point decline in short-term interest rates would reduce the annualized earnings on our $290.1 million of marketable securities at March 31, 2002 by approximately $2.9 million.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

     Coates Litigation. On or around October 5, 2001, C. Robert Coates, a holder of shares of the Company’s common stock, commenced an action in the Delaware Chancery Court against the Company, the former Netro Corporation, which was incorporated in California (“Netro California”), and the members of the Company’s board of directors, styled Coates v. Netro Corp., et al., C.A. No. 19154 (“Coates I”). The complaint in Coates I makes a number of allegations relating to the approval by the stockholders of Netro California of the merger transaction by which the Company’s state of incorporation was changed from California to Delaware, including that the disclosures to shareholders in connection with that proposed transaction were incomplete or misleading in various respects. The complaint also alleges that the adoption by the Company’s board of directors of a stockholder rights plan sometime after that merger transaction was in violation of Delaware law. The complaint seeks (1) to invalidate or rescind the merger transaction or, in the alternative, to obtain an order directing a new stockholder vote on that transaction; (2) to invalidate or reform the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws to eliminate certain alleged “anti-takeover provisions” contained in them; (3) to have the stockholder rights plan declared invalid or to obtain an order compelling the directors to redeem the rights distributed to the Company’s stockholders thereunder; and (4) to recover monetary damages in an unspecified amount, as well as plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and expenses in bringing the action.

     On November 30, 2001, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in Coates I for failure to state a claim. Mr. Coates served his answering brief responding to that motion on or around March 20, 2002, and on April 11, 2002, defendants served their reply brief. In addition, on or around October 30, 2001, Mr. Coates made a motion purportedly for partial summary judgment on two issues: first, that section 2.12 of the Company’s bylaws, relating to the business that may be brought before a special meeting of stockholders, allegedly is invalid and second, that the definition of “beneficial owner” in the Company’s rights plan allegedly unduly interferes with stockholders’ ability to convene a special meeting. Mr. Coates filed his opening brief in support of this motion on or around November 20, 2001; defendants served their responsive brief and supporting materials on December 21, 2001; and Mr. Coates served a reply brief on or around February 15, 2002.

     Separately, on or around December 10, 2001, Mr. Coates filed a complaint in a second action that names as defendants the Company and certain members of its board of directors, styled Coates v. Netro Corp., et al., C.A. No. 19309 (“Coates II”). In the complaint in that action, Mr. Coates challenges a stock option cancellation and regrant program that was described in the 2001 proxy statement in connection with the approval by the stockholders of Netro California of an amendment to the Company’s 1996 stock option plan. Mr. Coates claims that the discussion in the proxy statement about the proposed amendment to the stock option plan and the stock option cancellation and regrant program was incomplete or misleading and that the stock option cancellation and regrant program violated the terms of the stock option plan, inter alia, because options were issued under that program with exercise prices at the then-prevailing market price for the Company’s common stock rather than the alleged “fair value” of that stock. The complaint seeks an order declaring the options issued in the program to be invalid and void, rescinding those options, preliminarily and permanently enjoining the exercise of those options, imposing a constructive trust on any such options that were granted to defendants, and awarding monetary damages in an unspecified amount as well as plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses.

     On January 2, 2002, defendants filed a motion to stay or dismiss the complaint in Coates II, and on April 1, 2002, defendants served their opening brief in support of that motion.

     The Company and the other defendants believe the claims asserted by Mr. Coates in both of these actions are without merit, and they intend to vigorously defend themselves against those claims.

     IPO Allocation Litigation. On or around August 23, 2001, Ramiro Soto-Gonzalez, who alleges that he is a former shareholder of the Company’s common stock, commenced a purported class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, Richard Moley, Gideon Ben-Efraim and Michael T. Everett (“Individual Defendants”), and Dain Rauscher, Inc., FleetBoston Robertson Stephens, Inc., and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith, Inc. (“Underwriter Defendants”). The action is styled Soto-Gonzalez v. Netro Corporation, Inc., et al., No. 01 Civ. 7993 (S.D.N.Y.). On or around December 6, 2001, Zion Badichi, who alleges that he is a former shareholder of the Company’s common stock, commenced a purported class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, the Individual Defendants (except Mr. Moley) and the Underwriter Defendants. The action is styled Badichi v. Netro Corporation, Inc., et al., No. 01 Civ. 8348 (S.D.N.Y.).

23


Table of Contents

     The Soto-Gonzalez and Badichi actions are two of more than 1,000 lawsuits currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against more than 300 different issuers, certain officers and directors of these issuers and more than 45 different underwriters arising out of initial public offerings occurring between December 1997 and December 2000 (collectively “IPO Allocation Litigation”). By Order dated August 9, 2001, Chief Judge Michael B. Mukasey assigned the IPO Allocation Litigation, including the Soto-Gonzalez and Badichi actions, to the Honorable Shira A. Scheindlin for all pre-trial purposes. On September 7, 2001, Judge Scheindlin adjourned the time for all defendants in the IPO Allocation Litigation, including the Company and the Individual Defendants, to answer, move or otherwise respond to current and future complaints indefinitely pending further instruction from the court. On or about March 2002, the Soto-Gonzalez and Badichi actions were consolidated into a single action styled In re Netro Corp. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 01 Civ. 7035, 21 MC 92 (SAS) (“Netro Litigation”). Other lawsuits alleging similar claims arising out of the Company’s August 1999 initial public offering against the Underwriter Defendants — but not against the Company or the Individual Defendants — were also consolidated into the Netro Litigation. Those actions are styled Gutner v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated et al., No. 01 Civ. 7035 (S.D.N.Y.) and Bryant v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated et al., No. 01 Civ. 9184 (S.D.N.Y.).

     On April 19, 2002, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint in the Netro Litigation (“Complaint”). The Complaint alleges claims against the Company arising under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“’33 Act”) and Section 10-b of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and against the Individual Defendants under Section 10(b), Rule 10b-5 and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Section 15 of the ‘33 Act. The claims allege various misconduct arising from the Company’s August 1999 initial public offering and March 2000 follow-on offering of its common stock, including, among other things, that the disclosures made in connection with the offerings were incomplete or misleading in various respects. The allegations include, among other things, that the Company and the Individual Defendants failed to disclose that the Underwriter Defendants: (1) charged the Company excessive commissions and inflated transaction fees in violation of the securities laws and regulations; and (2) allowed certain investors to take part in the Company’s initial public offering in exchange for promises that these investors would purchase additional shares in the after-market for the purpose of inflating and maintaining the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Complaint seeks to certify a class of shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock between August 18, 1999 and December 6, 2000, and to recover monetary damages from defendants in an unspecified amount, as well as plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and expenses in bringing the action.

     The IPO Allocation Litigation in general, and the Netro Litigation in particular, are in the earliest stages. The Company and the Individual Defendants believe the claims asserted against them in the Netro Litigation are without merit, and they intend vigorously to defend themselves against those claims.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

     On February 12, 2002, the Company issued and sold 8,200,000 shares of its common stock to AT&T Wireless as partial consideration for the purchase of certain of AT&T Wireless’ assets, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated January 14, 2002. The assets acquired include intellectual property, inventory, equipment and proprietary software, all relating to the development, manufacture and assembly of fixed wireless telecommunications equipment developed under the code name project “Angel.” The securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based on the fact that the common stock was sold by the issuer in a transaction not involving a public offering. An independent appraisal firm determined that the value of the 8,200,000 shares issued to AT&T Wireless was approximately $29.5 million.

The initial term of the Lease, as set forth above, is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Initial Term."

The arbitration will be conducted by a single MAI real estate appraiser who has been active over the five-year period ending on the Arbitration Commencement Date in the appraisal of office and warehouse properties in the Redmond/Woodinville/Bothell area. In the event that the parties cannot agree upon the appraiser, the appraiser will be appointed by the Seattle office of the American Arbitration Association upon the application of either party.

Such EXHIBIT D shall be in lieu of and shall replace EXHIBIT C except as to nonconstruction matters contained in EXHIBIT C such as allowances and exclusions not expressly and specifically superseded by EXHIBIT D.

Tenant agrees to submit the Plans to Landlord for Landlord's approval. Landlord shall have two (2) business days from receipt of the Plans to convey to Tenant any objections thereto. Landlord's failure to object within such two (2) business day period shall be deemed an acceptance of the Plans.

"Designated Representative" means any person authorized to speak and act on behalf of Landlord or Tenant and upon whom the other shall fully and unconditionally be entitled to rely for any and all purposes of this Lease until such designation shall be revoked or altered as hereinafter provided. Landlord hereby appoints Doug Klappenbach, Harry DeMarre, and Bart Brynestad as its Designated Representatives. Tenant hereby appoints Heidi Jung as its Designated Representative.

The Landlord's Improvements shall be considered substantially completed at such time as the municipality having jurisdiction thereof issues a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy permitting Tenant to occupy the Landlord's Improvements for the purposes set forth in Section 4.1 or takes such other action as may be customary to permit occupancy or use thereof; and the Premises are in a condition that will allow Tenant to commence the Tenant Improvements in a 3 material way. Upon expiration of the one year guaranty of Landlord against defective workmanship and materials, Landlord shall assign to Tenant all warranties or guaranties of workmanship or materials given by subcontractors or materialmen that guarantee or warrant against defective workmanship or materials for a period of time in excess of the one-year period described above; provided, however, Landlord makes no warranty or representation that any of such warranties or guaranties will be assignable, but to the extent that any such warranties or guaranties are not assignable, Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant in the enforcement thereof by Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and to cooperate with Tenant in the enforcement by Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, of any service contracts that provide service, repair or maintenance to any item incorporated in the Building for a period of time in excess of such one-year period.

Subject to the preceding paragraph, the acceptance of possession by Tenant shall be deemed conclusively to establish that the Premises have been completed unless Tenant notifies Landlord in writing prior to commencement of the Term as to any items not completed. Tenant waives any claim as to matters not listed in said notice; provided, however, the failure by Tenant to list in such notice any incomplete item, the incompleteness of which was not reasonably discoverable within such two (2) business day period shall not constitute a waiver by Tenant with respect to such incomplete item. In the event Tenant discovers any such incomplete item after the Commencement Date of the Term, Tenant shall promptly furnish to Landlord written notice of such incomplete item. Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any incomplete item shall be the right to cause Landlord to complete such item substantially in accordance with the Final Working Drawings pursuant to Section 2.4.

Nothing in this Lease contained and no action or inaction by Landlord shall be deemed or construed to mean that Landlord has granted to Tenant any right, power or permission to do any act or make any agreement that may create, or give rise to or be the foundation for any such right, title, interest, lien, charge or other encumbrance upon the estate of Landlord in the Premises. SECTION 4.3 ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES.

Within ninety (90) days after the end of each Lease Year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement (the "Annual Statement") of the actual amount of Tenant's proportionate share of such Common Area Costs and Taxes for such period. In the event the total of Tenant's monthly installments for any Lease Year does not equal Tenant's proportionate share as shown on the Annual Statement, then Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord any deficiency, but if such Annual Statement indicates an overpayment by Tenant, then Tenant shall be entitled to offset such excess against Tenant's share of Common Area Costs or Taxes, as the case may be, next becoming due under this Lease.

Except to the extent caused by Tenant or arising from the acts or omissions of Tenant, or its agents, employees, contractors, or subcontractors, Landlord shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Tenant), protect and hold Tenant and each of Tenant's officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns free and harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs, penalties, forfeitures, losses or expenses (including attorneys' fees) for death or injury to any person or damage to any property whatsoever (including water tables and atmosphere) arising or resulting in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from the presence or discharge of Hazardous Materials, in, on, under, upon or from the Premises or the Improvements located thereon or from the transportation or disposal of Hazardous Materials to or from the Premises to the extent caused by Landlord whether knowingly or unknowingly, the standard herein being one of strict liability. Landlord's obligations hereunder shall include, without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs of any required or necessary repairs, clean-up or detoxification or decontamination of the Premises or the Improvements, and the presence and implementation of any closure, remedial action or other required plans in connection therewith, and shall survive the expiration of or early termination of the term of this Lease. For purposes of the indemnity provided herein, any acts or omissions of Landlord, or its employees, agents, customers, sub-lessees, assignees, contractors or subcontractors of Landlord (whether or not they are negligent, intentional, willful or unlawful) shall be strictly attributable to Landlord. SECTION 9.8 ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS. If Landlord reasonably believes that Tenant has not complied with this Article IX, then upon request by Landlord during the term of this Lease, prior to the exercise of any renewal term and/or prior to vacating the Premises, Tenant shall obtain and submit to Landlord an environmental site assessment from an environmental company reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant which assessment shall evidence Tenant's compliance with this Article IX. SECTION 9.9 ACTS OR OMISSIONS REGARDING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. For purposes of the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 9.3 through 9.8, inclusive, any acts or omissions of Tenant, its employees, agents, customers, sublessees, assignees, contractors or subcontractors (except Opus Northwest, L.L.C., Landlord and their respective subcontractors providing the Landlord's Improvements) shall be strictly attributable to Tenant; any acts or omissions of Landlord, its employees, agents, customers, assignees, contractors or subcontractors shall be strictly attributable to Landlord. 13 SECTION 9.10 SURVIVAL. The respective rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Article IX shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. ARTICLE X. MECHANICS'S LIENS AND OTHER LIENS SECTION 10.1 FREEDOM FROM LIENS. Tenant shall not suffer or permit any mechanic's lien or other lien to be filed against the Premises, or any portion thereof, by reason of work, labor, skill, services, equipment or materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to the Premises at the request of Tenant, or anyone holding the Premises, or any portion thereof, through or under Tenant. If any such mechanic's lien or other lien shall at any time be filed against the Premises, or any portion thereof, Tenant shall cause the same to be discharged of record or by posting a bond in the amount of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount of the claim of lien, within ten (10) days after Landlord's demand. If Tenant shall fail to discharge such mechanic's lien or liens or other lien within such period, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, after five days prior written notice to Tenant, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same by paying to the claimant the amount claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such lien as to the Premises by deposit in the court having jurisdiction of such lien, the foreclosure thereof or other proceedings with respect thereto, of a cash sum sufficient to secure the discharge of the same, or by the deposit of a bond or other security with such court sufficient in form, content and amount to procure the discharge of such lien, or in such other manner as is now or may in the future be provided by present or future law for the discharge of such lien as a lien against the Premises. Any amount paid by Landlord, or the value of any deposit so made by Landlord, together with all costs, fees and expenses in connection therewith (including reasonable attorney's fees of Landlord), together with interest thereon at the Maximum Rate of Interest set forth in Section 3.4 hereof, shall be repaid by Tenant to Landlord on demand by Landlord and if unpaid may be treated as Additional Rent. Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord against and save Landlord and the Premises, and any portion thereof, harmless from all losses, costs, damages, expenses, liabilities, suits, penalties, claims, demands and obligations, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees resulting from the assertion, filing, foreclosure or other legal proceedings with respect to any such mechanic's lien or other lien. All materialmen, contractors, artisans, mechanics, laborers and any other person now or hereafter furnishing any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment to Tenant with respect to the Premises, or any portion thereof, are hereby charged with notice that they must look exclusively to Tenant to obtain payment for the same. Notice is hereby given that Landlord shall not be liable for any labor, services, materials, supplies, skill, machinery, fixtures or equipment furnished or to be furnished to Tenant upon credit, and that no mechanics's lien or other lien for any such labor, services, materials, supplies, machinery, fixtures or equipment shall attach to or affect the estate or interest of Landlord in and to the Premises, or any portion thereof. SECTION 10.2 LANDLORD'S INDEMNIFICATION. The provisions of Section 10.1 shall not apply to any mechanic's lien or other lien for labor, services, materials, supplies, machinery, fixtures or equipment furnished to the Premises in the performance of Landlord's obligations to construct the Landlord's Improvements required by the provisions of Article II hereof, and Landlord does hereby agree to indemnify and defend Tenant against and save Tenant and the Premises, and any portion thereof, harmless from all losses, costs, damages, expenses, liabilities and obligations, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees resulting from the assertion, filing, foreclosure or other legal proceedings with respect to any such mechanic's lien or other lien. SECTION 10.3 REMOVAL OF LIENS. Except as otherwise provided for in this Article X, Tenant shall not create, permit or suffer, and shall promptly discharge and satisfy or record, any other lien, encumbrance, charge, security interest, or other right or interest which shall be or become a lien, encumbrance, charge or security interest upon the Premises, or any portion thereof, or the income therefrom, or on the interest of Landlord or Tenant in the Premises, or any portion thereof, save and except for those liens, encumbrances, charges, security interests, or other rights or interests consented to, in writing, by Landlord, or those mortgages, assignments of rents, assignments of leases and other mortgage documentation placed thereon by Landlord in financing or refinancing the Premises. ARTICLE XI. INTENT OF PARTIES SECTION 11.1 NET LEASE. Landlord and Tenant do each state and present that it is the intention of each of them that this Lease be interpreted and construed as an absolute net lease and all Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord without abatement, deduction, diminution, deferment, suspension, reduction or setoff, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease and 14 the obligations of Tenant shall not be affected by reason of damage to or destruction of the Premises from whatever cause (except as provided for in Section 13.3 hereof); nor shall the obligations of Tenant be affected by reason of any condemnation, eminent domain or like proceedings (except as provided in Article XIV hereof); nor shall the obligations of Tenant be affected by reason of any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing or by any laws or customs to the contrary. It is the further express intent of Landlord and Tenant that (a) the obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements and that the Basic Rent and Additional Rent, and all other charges and sums payable by Tenant hereunder, shall commence at the times provided herein and shall continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to an express provision in this Lease; (b) all costs or expenses of whatsoever character or kind except as expressly provided otherwise in this Lease, general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, and of every kind and nature whatsoever that may be necessary or required in and about the Premises, or any portion thereof, and Tenant's possession or authorized use thereof during the term of this Lease, shall be paid by Tenant and all provisions of this Lease are to be interpreted and construed in light of the intention expressed in this Section 11.1; and (c) the Basic Rent specified in Section 3.1 shall be absolutely net to Landlord so that this Lease shall yield net to Landlord the Basic Rent specified in Section 3.1 in each year during the term of this Lease (unless extended or renewed at a different Basic Rent). ARTICLE XII. DEFAULTS OF TENANT SECTION 12.1 EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any one or more of the following events (in this Article sometimes called "Events of Default") shall happen: (a) If default shall be made by Tenant, by operation of law or otherwise, under the provisions of Article XV hereof relating to assignment, sublease, mortgage or other transfer of Tenant's interest in this Lease or in the Premises or in the income arising therefrom; (b) If default shall be made in the due and punctual payment of any Basic Rent or Additional Rent payable under this Lease or in the payment of any obligation to be paid by Tenant, when and as the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall continue for a period of five (5) business days after written notice thereof given by Landlord to Tenant; (c) If default shall be made by Tenant in keeping, observing or performing any of the terms contained in this Lease, other than those referred to in Subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 12.1, which does not expose Landlord to criminal liability, and such default shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof given by Landlord to Tenant, or in the case of such a default or contingency which cannot with due diligence and in good faith be cured within 30 days, and Tenant fails to proceed promptly and with due diligence and in good faith to cure the same and thereafter to prosecute the curing of such default with due diligence and in good faith, it being intended that in connection with a default which does not expose Landlord to criminal liability, not susceptible of being cured with due diligence and in good faith within 30 days, that the time allowed Tenant within which to cure the same shall be extended for such period as may be necessary for the curing thereof promptly with due diligence and in good faith; (d) If default shall be made by Tenant in keeping, observing or performing any of the terms contained in this Lease, other than those referred to in Subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 12.1, and which exposes Landlord to criminal liability, and such default shall continue after written notice thereof given by Landlord to Tenant, and Tenant fails to proceed timely and promptly with all due diligence and in good faith to cure the same and thereafter to prosecute the curing of such default with all due diligence, it being intended that in connection with a default which exposes Landlord to criminal liability that Tenant shall proceed immediately to cure or correct such condition with continuity and with all due diligence and in good faith; then, and in any such event, Landlord, at any time thereafter during the continuance of any such Event of Default, may give written notice to Tenant specifying such Event of Default or Events of Default and stating that this Lease and the terms hereby demised shall terminate on the date specified in such notice, and upon the date specified in such notice this Lease and the terms hereby demised, and all rights of Tenant under this Lease, including all rights of renewal whether exercised or not, shall terminate, or in the alternative or in addition to the foregoing remedy, Landlord may assert and have the benefit of any other remedy allowed herein, at law, or in equity. 15 SECTION 12.2 SURRENDER OF PREMISES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant, at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have, Landlord shall be entitled to terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall not terminate (unless and until Landlord gives written notice to Tenant of its intention to terminate this Lease), and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall have the immediate right to enter upon the Premises, and all portions thereof, and possess and repossess itself thereof, and remove Tenant and all other persons and property from the Premises, and all portions thereof, and may have, hold and enjoy the Premises and the right to receive all rental and other income of and from the same. SECTION 12.3 RELETTING BY LANDLORD. At any time, or from time to time after any termination of Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, Landlord may relet the Premises, or any portion thereof, in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease) and on such conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) as Landlord, in its uncontrolled discretion, may determine and may collect and receive the rents therefor. Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises, or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting. SECTION 12.4 NON-TERMINATION OF LEASE. Unless and until Landlord gives Tenant written notice stating specifically that Landlord has elected to proceed under Section 12.5 hereof, no termination of Tenant's right to possession of the Premises shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations under this Lease, and such liabilities and obligations shall survive any such termination. In the event of any such termination, whether or not the Premises, or any portion thereof, shall have been relet, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a sum equal to the Basic Rent, and the Additional Rent and any other charges required to be paid by Tenant, up to the time of such termination of this Lease, and thereafter Tenant, until the end of what would have been the term of this Lease in the absence of such termination, shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as and for liquidated and agreed current damages for Tenant's default: (a) The equivalent of the amount of the Basic Rent and Additional Rent which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant if this Lease were still in effect, less (b) The net proceeds of any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.3 hereof after deducting all of Landlord's reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, reasonable attorney's fees, alteration costs, and expenses of preparation of the Premises, or any portion thereof, for such reletting. Tenant shall pay such current damages in the amount determined in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.4, as set forth in a written statement thereof from Landlord to Tenant (hereinafter called the "Deficiency"), to Landlord in monthly installments on the days on which the Basic Rent would have been payable under this Lease if this Lease were still in effect, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant each monthly installment of the Deficiency as the same shall arise. SECTION 12.5 TERMINATION OF LEASE. At any time after an Event of Default, whether before or after termination of Tenant's right to possession of the Lease Premises, whether or not Landlord shall have collected any monthly Deficiency as set forth in Section 12.4, Landlord shall be entitled to terminate this Lease and recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, as and for final damages for Tenant's default, an amount equal to the difference between the then present worth of the aggregate of the Basic Rent and Additional Rent and any other charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder for the unexpired portion of the term of this Lease (assuming this Lease had not been so terminated), and the then present worth of the then aggregate fair and reasonable fair market rent of the Premises for the same period. In the computation of present worth, a discount at the rate of 6% per annum shall be employed. If the Premises, or any portion thereof, be relet by Landlord for the unexpired term of this Lease, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall, prima facie, be the fair and reasonable fair market rent for the part or the whole of the Premises so relet during the term of the reletting. Nothing herein contained or contained in this Article XII shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain, as damages by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to or less than the amount of the difference referred to above. 16 SECTION 12.6 NO WAIVER. No failure by Landlord or by Tenant to insist upon the performance of any of the terms of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance by Landlord of full or partial rent from Tenant or any third party during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any of the terms of this Lease. None of the terms of this Lease to be kept, observed or performed by Landlord or by Tenant, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by Landlord and/or by Tenant, as the case may be. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each of the terms of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach of this Lease. No waiver of any default of tenant herein shall be implied from any omission by Landlord to take any action on account of such default, if such default persists or is repeated and no express waiver shall affect any default other than the default specified in the express waiver and that only for the time and to the extent therein stated. One or more waivers by Landlord shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition. SECTION 12.7 LANDLORD'S REMEDIES. In the event of any breach by Tenant of any of the terms contained in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and shall have the right to invoke any right or remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as through entry, reentry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease. Each remedy or right of Landlord provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies. SECTION 12.8 BANKRUPTCY. If, during the term of this Lease, (a) Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (b) a voluntary petition by filed by Tenant under any law having for its purpose the adjudication of Tenant a bankrupt, or Tenant be adjudged a bankrupt pursuant to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy, (c) a receiver be appointed for the property of Tenant, or (d) any department of the state or federal government, or any officer thereof duly authorized, shall take possession of the business or property of Tenant, the occurrence of any such contingency shall be deemed a breach of the Lease and this Lease shall, ipso facto upon the happening of any of said contingencies, be terminated and the same shall expire as fully and completely as if the day of the happening of such contingency were the date herein specifically fixed for the expiration of the term, and Tenant will then quit and surrender the Premises, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding other provisions of this Lease, or any present or future law, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant or Tenant's estate (in lieu of the equivalent of the amount of all rent and other charges unpaid at the date of such termination) as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, an aggregate sum which at the time of such termination represents the difference between the then present worth of the aggregate of the Basic Rent and Additional Rent and any other charges payable by Tenant hereunder that would have accrued for the balance of the term of this Lease (assuming this Lease had not been so terminated), over the then present worth of the aggregate fair market rent of the Premises for the balance of such period, unless any statute or rule of law covering the proceedings in which such damages are to be proved shall limit the amount of such claim capable of being so proved, in which case Landlord shall be entitled to prove as and for damages by reason of such breach and termination of this Lease the maximum amount which may be allowed by or under any such statute or rule of law without prejudice to any rights of Landlord against any guarantor of Tenant's obligations herein. In the computation of present worth, a discount rate of 6% per annum shall be employed. Nothing contained herein shall limit or prejudice Landlord's right to prove and obtain as damages arising out of such breach and termination the maximum amount allowed by any such statute or rule of law which may govern the proceedings in which such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the excess of the present value of the rent and other charges required herein over the present value of the fair market rents referred to above. Specified remedies to which Landlord may resort under the terms of this Section 12.8 are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may be lawfully entitled. ARTICLE XIII. DESTRUCTION AND RESTORATION SECTION 13.1 LANDLORD'S REPAIR OBLIGATIONS. If the Premises, Common Areas, the Park or any improvements thereto shall be damaged by fire or other casualty for which Landlord is carrying or required by this Lease to carry insurance, then Landlord shall immediately and with all due diligence commence to repair such damage at its expense, and apply such insurance proceeds to the cost of such repair. In the event the damage or destruction is an insured loss, for so long as Landlord is diligently pursuing collection of the insurance proceeds, the time period for Landlord to commence repair shall be extended until the proceeds are received, not to exceed ninety (90) days. From the date the damage 17 occurs to the date the repairs are complete, any rent due hereunder shall be reduced by the same percentage as the percentage of the Premises which are damaged or destroyed. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if any damage or destruction to the Premises from any cause whatsoever is not, or in Landlord's reasonable judgment cannot be, repaired within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date such damage occurs, then Landlord shall give Tenant notice thereof within thirty (30) days of the date the damage occurs, and either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to the other within thirty (30) days of the date of Landlord's notice. In addition, if any damage or destruction to the Premises from any cause whatsoever occurs and (a) the cost to repair such damage exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost of the Premises, or (b) the portion of damage or destruction that is uninsurable through reasonable insurance policies typically maintained by landlords in the Greater Seattle-Bellevue-Renton metropolitan area exceeds $100,000, and Landlord elects not to repair such damage, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days after the date such damage occurred. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to repair or restore any special equipment or improvements installed by Tenant. Landlord's obligation to rebuild and repair under this Section 14 shall in all events be limited to the extent of the insurance proceeds available to Landlord for such restoration, and Tenant agrees that promptly after completion of such work by Landlord, it will proceed with reasonable diligence and at its sole cost and expense to rebuild, repair and/or replace its signs, fixtures and equipment; provided, however, Landlord shall provide Tenant with improvements of the same replacement value of those as granted to Tenant at the commencement of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in the event the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or otherwise in excess of thirty percent (30%) of the full replacement cost of the Premises, during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Term, either party shall have the option to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage or destruction by giving written notice to the other party within ninety (90) days following the date of such damage or destruction unless Tenant exercises at least one Renewal Term option within ten (10) days of Landlord's notice. SECTION 13.2 OTHER DAMAGE. In the event that more than fifty percent (50%) of the value of the Park is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, and irrespective of whether such damage or destruction can be repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, then Landlord, at its option, by written notice to the other party mailed within ninety (90) days from the date of such damage or destruction, may terminate this Lease effective upon a date within ninety (90) days from the date of such notice. SECTION 13.3 RENT APPORTIONMENT. In the event of a termination of this Lease pursuant to this Article XIII, the Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and paid to the date of such termination, provided, however, that if the Premises are damaged or destroyed, Basic Rent and additional Rent shall be proportionately reduced from the date of such damage or destruction based upon the extent to which the damage and making of repairs shall reasonably interfere with the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises. ARTICLE XIV. CONDEMNATION SECTION 14.1 GENERAL RIGHTS UPON CONDEMNATION. If the whole or any substantial portion of the Premises shall be taken under the power of eminent domain, or conveyed in lieu thereof ("taken"), then this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken on the day when Tenant or Landlord is required to yield possession thereof. Landlord shall make such repairs and alterations as may be necessary in order to restore the part not taken to a condition satisfactory for Tenant's use, and any rent due hereunder shall abate upon that portio of the Premises which cannot reasonably be used by Tenant for operation of its business while such repairs are being made. The Basic Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder shall thereafter be fairly and equitably reduced in accordance with the portion so condemned or taken effective as of the date of such condemnation or taking. The foregoing notwithstanding, Landlord's expenses in restoring, repairing and altering in the event of a condemnation shall be limited to available condemnation proceeds after deducting the reasonable cost of recovering the same. In addition, if in Tenant's reasonable judgment, (a) the portion of the Premises so taken materially adversely impairs the economic viability of the business then being operated in the Premises, (b) more than twenty percent (20%) of the parking in the Park is taken, or (c) more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the Premises are taken, then Tenant, or Landlord in the event subsection (c) shall occur, shall have the option to terminate this Lease at any time within sixty (60) days after Tenant or Landlord is required to yield possession of the area so taken, and Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated from the date of the taking pro rata in accordance with the portion of the Premises as to which this Lease is terminated incident to the taking. In addition, if more than thirty percent (30%) of the buildings upon the Park, including the Premises, 18 shall be taken at any time and Landlord elects not to repair, alter, rebuild or reconstruct, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days after the date of such taking. SECTION 14.2 AWARD. The entire compensation award therefor, including, but not limited to, all damages as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, the reversion or the fee, shall belong to Landlord without any deductions therefrom or any present or future estate of Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in any such award. Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant, in Tenant's own right on account of any and all damage to Tenant's business by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or loss which Tenant might incur in removing Tenant's merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment; provided, however, Tenant shall have no right to receive any award for its interest in this Lease or for the loss of leasehold, and provided further, however, Tenant shall not be entitled to claim any award to the extent the award to Landlord would be reduced below the amount that would be allowed to Landlord absent such claim by Tenant. ARTICLE XV. ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING, ETC. SECTION 15.1 PERMITTED SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNING BY TENANT. Subject to the condition precedent that Tenant shall not be in default at the time, and subject to other applicable provisions of this Lease, it is expressly understood and agreed that at any time during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to assign or sublet the Premises (in whole or in part) to a Related Corporation of Tenant for so long as it remains a Related Corporation of Tenant. "Related Corporation" means a corporation, partnership or other business entity, which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled or owned by or under common control or ownership with another corporation, partnership or other business entity. No such assignment or subleasing shall relieve Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations contained in this Lease. SECTION 15.2 RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. Except as provided by Section 15.1, Tenant shall not sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof, nor assign, mortgage, pledge, transfer or otherwise encumber or dispose of this Lease, or any interest therein, or in any manner assign, mortgage, pledge, transfer or otherwise encumber or dispose of its interest or estate in the Premises, or any portion thereof, without obtaining Landlord's prior written consent in each and every instance. For purposes of this Article XV, a change in control of Tenant, however effected, including by operation of law, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease; "control" shall mean the possession of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of Tenant, whether through ownership of voting securities, contract or otherwise. The immediately preceding sentence, however, shall not be applicable to any Tenant corporation the outstanding voting stock of which is listed on a national securities exchange or actively traded over-the-counter. In determining whether or not to grant its consent to the Tenant's sublet or assignment request, Landlord may consider any reasonable factor. Landlord and Tenant agree that failure to satisfy any one of the following factors, or any other reasonable factor, will be reasonable grounds for denying Tenant's request: (1) financial strength of the proposed subtenant/assignee, as evidenced by financial statements certified by an independent public accountant, shall be sufficient to reasonably assure Landlord that it can perform the Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease; (2) business reputation of the proposed subtenant/assignee must be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; (3) use of the Premises by the proposed subtenant/assignee will be only for the Permitted Use and will not constitute a nuisance or disturb or endanger Occupants of the Park or interfere with their use of their respective premises, or which would tend to injure the reputation of the Park; and the assignment or sublease is not to any person, firm or corporation which is (or immediately prior to such subletting or assignment, was) an occupant or tenant of the Park. In addition to the foregoing requirements of this Section 15.2, Landlord's consent to any such proposed transfer is conditioned upon Tenant complying with the following requirements: (a) Any assignment of this Lease shall transfer to the assignee all of Tenant's right, title and interest in this Lease and all of Tenant's estate or interest in the Premises. 19 (b) At the time of any assignment or subletting, and at the time when Tenant requests Landlord's written consent thereto, this Lease must be in full force and effect, without any breach or default thereunder on the part of Tenant. (c) Any such assignee shall assume, by written, recordable instrument, in form and content satisfactory to Landlord, the due performance of all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, including any accrued obligations at the time of the effective date of the assignment, and such assumption agreement shall state that the same is made by the assignee for the express benefit of Landlord as a third party beneficiary thereof. As copy of the assignment and assumption agreement, both in form and content satisfactory to Landlord, fully executed and acknowledged by assignee, together with a certified copy of a properly executed corporate resolution (if the assignee be a corporation) authorizing the execution and delivery of such assumption agreement, shall be sent to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such assignment. (d) In the case of a subletting, a copy of any sublease fully executed and acknowledged by Tenant and the sublessee shall be mailed to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such subletting, which sublease shall be in form and content acceptable to Landlord. (e) Such assignment or subletting shall be subject to all the provisions, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, and Tenant-assignor (and the guarantor of this Lease, if any) and the assignee or assignees shall continue to be and remain liable under this Lease, as it may be amended from time to time without notice to any assignor of Tenant's interest or to any guarantor. (f) Each sublease permitted under this Section 15.2 shall contain provisions to the effect that (i) such sublease is only for actual use and occupancy by the sublessee; (ii) such sublease is subject and subordinate to all the of terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and to all of the rights of Landlord thereunder; and (iii) in the event this Lease shall terminate before the execution of such sublease, including pursuant to Section 1.3, the sublessee thereunder will, at Landlord's option, attorn to Landlord and waive any rights the sublessee amy have to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession thereunder, as a result of the termination of this Lease. (g) Tenant agrees to pay on behalf of Landlord any and all reasonable costs of Landlord, including reasonable attorney's fees paid or payable to outside counsel, occasioned by such assignment or subletting. SECTION 15.3 RESTRICTION FROM FURTHER ASSIGNMENT. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary and notwithstanding any consent by Landlord to any sublease of the Premises, or any portion thereof, or to any assignment of this Lease or of Tenant's interest or estate in the Premises, no sublessee shall assign its sublease nor further sublease the Premises, or any portion thereof, and no assignee, except for a Related Corporation, shall further assign its interest in this Lease or its interest or estate in the Premises, or any portion thereof, nor sublease the Premises, or any portion thereof, without Landlord's prior written consent in each and every instance which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or unduly delayed. No such assignment or subleasing shall relieve Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations contained in this Lease. SECTION 15.4 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED.] SECTION 15.5 TENANT'S FAILURE TO COMPLY. Tenant's failure to comply with all of the foregoing provisions and conditions of this Article XV shall (whether or not Landlord's consent is required under this Article), at Landlord's option, render any purported assignment or subletting null and void and of no force and effect. SECTION 16.6 SHARING OF EXCESS RENT. If Landlord consents to Tenant assigning its interest under this Lease or subletting all or a portion of the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (in addition to Rent and all other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease) seventy-five percent (75%) of the rents and other consideration payable by such assignee or subtenant (excluding Related Corporations) in excess of the Rent otherwise payable by Tenant from time to time under this Lease, after deducting all of Tenant's reasonable expenses in connection with such assignment or subletting, including, without limitation, all brokerage commissions, legal expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees, alteration costs, and expenses of preparation of Premises, or portion thereof, for such assigning or subletting. For the purposes of this computation, the additional amount payable by Tenant shall be determined by application of the rental rate per square foot for the Premises or any portion thereof sublet. Said additional amount shall be paid to Landlord immediately upon receipt of such Rent or other consideration from 20 the assignee or subtenant. If any part of the consideration received by Tenant for an assignment or subletting shall be payable other than in cash, then the payment to Landlord shall be in cash for its share of non-cash consideration based upon the fair market value thereof. ARTICLE XVI. SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE, NOTICE TO MORTGAGEE AND ATTORNMENT SECTION 16.1 SUBORDINATION BY TENANT. This Lease and all rights of Tenant therein, and all interest or estate of Tenant in the Premises, or any portion thereof, shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, security instrument or any other document of like nature ("Mortgage"), which at any time may be placed upon the Premises, or any portion thereof, by Landlord, and to any replacements, renewals, amendments, modifications, extensions or refinancing thereof, and to each and every advance made under any Mortgage. In order to confirm such subordination, Tenant agrees at any time hereafter, and from time to time on demand by Landlord, to execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments, releases or other documents that may be reasonably required for the purpose of subjecting and subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such Mortgage, including an instrument in the form of EXHIBIT E attached hereto. It is agreed, nevertheless, that so long as Tenant is not in default in the payment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent and the performance and observance of all covenants, conditions, provisions, terms and agreements to be performed and observed by Tenant under this Lease, that such subordination agreement or other instruments, release or document shall not interfere with, hinder or molest Tenant's right to quiet enjoyment under this Lease, nor the right of Tenant to continue to occupy the Premises, and all portions thereof, and to conduct its business thereon in accordance with the covenants, conditions, provisions, terms and agreements of this Lease. The lien of any such Mortgage shall not cover Tenant's trade fixtures or other personal property located in or on the Premises. SECTION 16.2 LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. In the event of any act or omission of Landlord constituting a default by Landlord, Tenant shall not exercise any remedy, except as specifically provided for in this Lease, until Tenant has given Landlord prior written notice of such act or omission and until a 30-day period of time to allow Landlord or the mortgagee to remedy such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice; provided, however, if such act or omission cannot, with due diligence and in good faith, be remedied within such 30-day period, the Landlord and/or mortgagee shall be allowed such further period of time as may be reasonably necessary provided that it shall have commenced remedying the same with due diligence and in good faith within said 30-day period. In the event Landlord's act or omission which constitutes a Landlord's default hereunder results in an immediate threat of bodily harm to Tenant's employees, agents or invitees, or damage to Tenant's property Tenant may proceed to cure the default without prior notice to Landlord provided, however, in that event Tenant shall given written notice to Landlord as soon as possible after commencement of such cure. Nothing herein contained shall be construed or interpreted as requiring any mortgagee to remedy such act or omission. SECTION 16.3 ATTORNMENT. If any mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease or to ownership of the Premises, whether through possession or foreclosure or the delivery of a deed to the Premises, then, upon the written request of such mortgagee so succeeding to Landlord's rights hereunder, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such mortgagee as Tenant's landlord under this Lease, and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such mortgagee may reasonably request to evidence such attornment (whether before or after making of the mortgage). In the event of any other transfer of Landlord's interest hereunder, upon the written request of the transferee and Landlord, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such transferee as Tenant's landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such transferee and Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. ARTICLE XVII. SIGNS SECTION 17.1 TENANT'S SIGNS. Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, erect signs on the exterior or interior of the Building, provided that such sign or signs (a) do not cause any structural damage or other damage to the Building; (b) do not violate applicable governmental laws, ordinances, rules or regulations; (c) do not violate any existing restrictions affecting the Premises; (d) are in accordance with the sign standards for Willows Commerce Park set forth on EXHIBIT F attached hereto; and (e) all signage is approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the City of Redmond. Tenant, upon vacation of the Premises, or the removal or alteration of its signs for any reason, shall be responsible for the repair, painting and/or replacement of the Building fascia surface where signs are attached. 21 ARTICLE XVIII. REPORTS BY TENANT SECTION 18.1 ANNUAL STATEMENTS. Upon request by Landlord at any time after 135 days after the end of the applicable fiscal year of Tenant, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord promptly after written request a financial statement or annual report of Tenant for such fiscal year, and a financial statement or annual report of any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease for such guarantor's fiscal year, which finance statement(s) or annual report(s) shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and certified as correct by the auditors of Tenant or its guarantors, as the case may be, or by the Chief Financial Officer of Tenant or its guarantors. ARTICLE XIX. CHANGES AND ALTERATIONS SECTION 19.1 TENANT'S CHANGES AND ALTERATIONS. Tenant shall not make any modifications, improvements, alterations, additions or installations in or to the Premises (hereinafter referred to in this paragraph as the "work") without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Along with any request for Landlord's consent and before commencement of any work or delivery of any materials to be used in any work to the Premises or into the Park, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with plans and specifications, names and addresses of contractors. Unless Landlord, in its consent, in writing, states that upon expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease, Landlord will require Tenant to remove all or any of the proposed alterations described in Tenant's plans and specifications and restore the Premises to the same condition they were immediately prior to such alterations, then Landlord shall not have the right, pursuant to Section 20.18, to require removal thereof as otherwise set forth in Section 20.18. Tenant agrees to defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims and liabilities of any kind and description which may arise out of or be connected in any way with said modifications, improvements, alterations, additions or installations. All such work shall be done only by contractors or mechanics reasonably approved by Landlord and at such time and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time reasonably designate. Tenant shall pay the cost of all such modifications, improvements, alterations, additions or installations, and also the cost of painting, restoring or repairing the Premises and the Park occasioned by such modifications, improvements, alterations, additions or installations. Upon completion of the work, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with contractor's affidavits and full and final waivers of liens. All such work shall comply with all insurance requirements and all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities and shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner. Tenant shall permit Landlord to inspect construction operations in connection with any such work. Tenant or Tenant's contractor shall perform all work in such manner as to avoid materially interfering with Landlord's operation of the Park and to avoid any labor dispute or stoppage or impairment of other construction activities at the Park. In the event that any such stoppage or improvement of work occurs or any such labor dispute or potential dispute arises, then Tenant shall undertake such action necessary to eliminate such stoppage, improvement or dispute, including, without limitation: (a) removing all disputants from the job site until such time as the dispute no longer exists, (b) seeking a temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief with regard to illegal union activities or breach of contract between Tenant and Tenant's contractors, or (c) filing such unfair labor practice charges as may be appropriate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall be permitted to perform work not affecting the structural, electrical or mechanical systems of the Premises or the Park which does not in the aggregate cost more than $30,000 in any twelve (12) month period (but subject to all the other terms of this Section 19 other than (i) the requirements set forth in the second sentence of this Section 19 and (ii) furnishing Landlord with contractors' affidavits and lien waivers if requested by Landlord), provided Tenant notifies Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of such work and delivers to Landlord a copy of the plans for such work, if Tenant has arranged to have plans prepared therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Tenant shall be permitted to install, modify and remove models from the interior of the warehouse space portion of the Premises without notice to or the necessity of obtaining Landlord's consent, provided that such work does not have an adverse effect upon the structural, electrical or mechanical systems of the Premises. ARTICLE XX. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS SECTION 20.1 ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Tenant shall have personnel, including security personnel, on the Premises 24 hours per day. Landlord shall only be allowed access to the Premises after providing a minimum of 72 hours informal notice to Tenant of the need to access the Premises, unless required by any governmental agency or emergency situation to have earlier access. Tenant shall coordinate all access and Landlord shall be accompanied by a designated representative of Tenant at all times. Landlord's access shall be limited to the purpose of inspecting the Premises and making any changes to Building 22 systems or to make any necessary repairs to comply with any laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or requirements of any public body, or the Board of Fire Underwriters, or any similar body. Nothing herein contained shall imply any duty upon the part of Landlord to do any such work which, under any provision of this Lease, Tenant may be required to perform and the performance thereof by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default in failing to perform the same. Landlord may, during the progress of any work, keep and store upon the Premises all necessary materials, tools and equipment. Landlord shall not in any event be liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business or other damage to Tenant by reason of making repairs or the performance of any work in or about the Premises, or on account of bringing material, supplies and equipment into, upon or through the Premises during the course thereof, and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not be thereby affected in any manner whatsoever. Landlord understands that Tenant is conducting highly confidential operations on the Premises and therefore agrees to execute, and have all parties entering the Premises through Landlord execute, a confidentiality agreement (attached hereto as EXHIBIT H). SECTION 20.2 EXHIBITION OF PREMISES. Landlord is hereby given the right during usual business hours at any time during the term of this Lease after 72 hours notice and in the company of Tenant's representative to enter upon the Premises and to exhibit the same for the purpose of mortgaging or selling the same. During the final six (6) months of the term, Landlord shall be entitled to display on the Premises, in such manner as to not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's business, signs indicating that the Premises are for rent or sale and suitably identifying Landlord or its agent. Tenant agrees that such signs may remain unmolested upon the Premises and that Landlord may exhibit said premises to prospective tenants during said period. SECTION 20.3 INDEMNIFICATION. 20.3.1 INDEMNIFICATION BY LANDLORD. Landlord covenants to indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from and against all claims, and all costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred in connection with such claims, including any action or proceeding brought thereon, to the extent the same arise from or as a result of (1) any accident, injury, loss, or damage whatsoever caused to any natural person, or to the property of any person alleged or proven to have occurred in or about the Park exclusive of the Premises during the term of this Lease or (2) any alleged or proven negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the agents, contractors, servants or employees of Landlord during the term of this Lease; excepting, however, in each case, claims, accidents, injuries, loss, or damages to the extent the same arise from or as a result of any alleged or proven negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or of any subtenant, concessionaire, licensee or departmental lessee of Tenant or of the agents, contractors, servants or employees of Tenant or of any such subtenant, concessionaire, licensee or departmental lessee of Tenant, except to the extent Landlord has waived a claim against Tenant pursuant to Section 6.1. 20.3.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY TENANT. Tenant covenants to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against all claims, and all costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred in connection with such claims, including any action or proceeding brought thereon, arising from or as a result of (1) any accident, injury, loss, or damage whatsoever caused to any natural person, or to the property of any person, alleged to have occurred on or about the Premises during the term of this Lease, or (2) any alleged or proven negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or of any sublessee, concessionaire, licensee or departmental lessee of Tenant or of the agents, contractors, servants or employees of Tenant or of any such sublessee, concessionaire, licensee or departmental lessee of Tenant during the term of this Lease alleged or proven to have occurred in or about the Park exclusive of the Premises; excepting, however, in each case, claims, accidents, injuries, loss or damages to the extent the same arise from or as a result of any alleged or proven negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors, servants or employees, except to the extent Tenant has waived a claim against Landlord pursuant to Section 6.4.

Landlord covenants and agrees that Tenant, upon paying the Basic Rent and Additional Rent, and upon observing and keeping the covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease on its part to be kept, observed and performed, shall lawfully and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises (subject to the provisions of this Lease) during the term of this Lease without hindrance or molestation by Landlord or by any person or persons claiming under Landlord. SECTION 20.6 LAND'S CONTINUING OPERATIONS. The term "Landlord," as used in this Lease so far as covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee of the Premises, and in the event of any transfer or transfers or conveyance the then grantor shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance of all liability as respects the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed, provided that any funds in the hands of such landlord or the then grantor at the time of such transfer, in which Tenant has an interest, shall be turned over to the grantee, and any amount then due and payable to Tenant by Landlord or the then grantor under any provision of this Lease shall be paid to Tenant. The covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord shall, subject to the aforesaid, be binding on Landlord's successors and assigns, during and in respect of their respective successive periods of ownership. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as relieving Landlord of its obligations under Article II of this Lease, or releasing Landlord from any obligation to complete the cure of any breach by Landlord during the period of its ownership of the Premises. SECTION 20.7 ESTOPPEL. Landlord and Tenant shall, each without charge at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) business days after written request by the other party, certify by written instrument, duly executed, acknowledged and delivered to any mortgagee, assignee of a mortgagee, proposed mortgagee, or to any purchaser or proposed purchaser, or to any other person dealing with Landlord, Tenant or the Premises: (a) That this Lease (and all guarantees, if any) is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect, as modified, and stating the modifications); (b) The dates to which the Basic Rent or Additional Rent have been paid in advance; (c) Whether or not there are then existing any breaches or defaults by such party or the other party known by such party under any of the covenants, conditions, provisions, terms or agreements of this Lease, and specifying such breach or default, if any, or any setoffs or defenses against the enforcement of any covenant, condition, provision, term or agreement 24 of this Lease (or of any guaranties) upon the part of Landlord or Tenant (or any guarantor), as the case may be, to be performed or complied with (and, if so, specifying the same and the steps being taken to remedy the same); and (d) Such other statements or certificates as Landlord or any mortgagee may reasonably request. It is the intention of the parties hereto that any statement delivered pursuant to this Section 20.7 may be relied upon by any of such parties dealing with Landlord, Tenant or the Premises. If Tenant does not deliver such statement to Landlord within such twenty (20) business day period, Landlord, and any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises or the Building, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (i) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (ii) that this Lease has not been canceled or terminated and is in full force and effect, except as otherwise represented by Landlord; that the current amounts of the Basic Rent and Security Deposit are as represented by Landlord; that any changes made against the Security Deposit are uncontested and valid; that there have been no subleases or assignments of the Lease; (iii) that not more than one month's Basic Rent or other charges have been paid in advance; and (iv) that Landlord is not in default under the Lease. In such event, Tenant shall be estopped from denying the truth of such facts. SECTION 20.8 RULES AND REGULATIONS.

This Lease shall be construed and be enforceable in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Premises are located. SECTION 20.11 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

No such merger shall occur unless and until all persons, firms, corporations or other entities having an interest (including a security interest) in (1) this Lease or the leasehold estate created thereby, and (2) any such other estate or interest in the Premises, or any portion thereof, shall join in a written instrument expressly effecting such merger and shall duly record the same. SECTION 20.16 POSSESSION AND USE. Tenant acknowledges that the Premises are the property of Landlord and that Tenant has only the right to possession and use thereof upon the covenants, conditions, provisions, terms and agreements set forth in this Lease. 25 SECTION 20.17 NO SURRENDER DURING LEASE TERM. No surrender to Landlord of this Lease or of the Premises, or any interest therein, prior to the expiration of the term of this Lease shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Landlord and consented to in writing by all mortgagees, and no act or omission by Landlord or any representative or agent of Landlord, other than such a written acceptance by Landlord consented to by all contract vendors and the mortgagees, as aforesaid, shall constitute an acceptance of any such surrender. SECTION 20.18 SURRENDER OF PREMISES. At the expiration of the term of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises in the same condition as the same were in upon delivery of possession thereto at the Commencement Date of the term of this Lease, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall surrender all keys to the Premises to Landlord at the place then fixed for the payment of Basic Rent and shall inform Landlord of all combinations on locks, safes and vaults, if any. Tenant shall at such time remove all of its property therefrom and all alterations and improvements placed thereon by Tenant, if so requested by Landlord pursuant to Section 19.1. Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal, and any and all such property not so removed shall, at Landlord's option, become the exclusive property of Landlord to be disposed of by Landlord, at Tenant's cost and expense, without further notice to or demand upon Tenant. If the Premises be not surrendered as above set forth, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless against loss or liability resulting from the delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation any claim made by any succeeding occupant founded on such delay. Tenant's obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease. It is understood that all furniture, fixtures and equipment shall remain the property of Tenant, whether attached or affixed in any way to the Premises, unless expressly stated otherwise. All property of Tenant not removed within 30 days after the last day of the term of this Lease shall be deemed abandoned. Tenant hereby appoints Landlord its agent to remove all property of Tenant from the Premises upon termination of this Lease and to cause its transportation and storage for Tenant's benefit, all at the sole cost and risk of Tenant and Landlord shall not be liable for damage, theft, misappropriation or loss thereof and Landlord shall not be liable in any manner in respect thereto.

SECTION 20.20 LANDLORD APPROVALS. Any approval by Landlord or Landlord's architects and/or engineers of any of Tenant's drawings, plans and specifications which are prepared in connection with any construction of improvements respecting the Premises shall not in any way be construed or operate to bind Landlord or to constitute a representation or warranty of Landlord as to the adequacy or sufficiency of such drawings, plans and specifications, or the improvements to which they relate, for any reason, purpose or condition, but such approval shall merely be the consent of Landlord, as may be required hereunder, in connection with Landlord's construction of improvements relating to the Premises in accordance with such drawings, plans and specifications. SECTION 20.21 SURVIVAL. All obligations (together with interest or money obligations at the Maximum Rate of Interest) accruing prior to expiration of the term of this Lease shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease.

Tenant shall defend Landlord against any such claim or action at Tenant's expense. SECTION 20.23 LANDLORD'S LIMITED LIABILITY. Tenant hereby recognizes that Landlord is a limited liability company. It is expressly understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, that each and all of the representations, covenants, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of Landlord are intended not as personal representations, covenants, undertakings and agreements of the members, managers, shareholders, partners, directors, officers, employees and agents of Landlord, but are made and intended for the purpose of binding only that portion of Landlord's property leased hereunder. No personal liability or personal responsibility is assumed by, nor shall at any time be asserted or enforced against, any of the members, managers, shareholders, partners, directors, officers, employees or agents of Landlord on account of this Lease, on account of any covenant, undertaking or agreements in this Lease contained (either expressed or implied), all such personal liability, if any, being expressly waived and released by Tenant herein, and by all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant. If Landlord shall fail to perform any covenant, term or condition of this Lease upon Landlord's part to be performed, and if as a consequence of such default Tenant shall recover a money judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received upon execution of such judgment and levied thereon against the right, title and interest received upon execution of such judgment and levied thereon against the right, title and interest of Landlord in the Park, and neither Landlord nor its members, managers, shareholders, partners, directors, officers, employees or agents nor any other person or entity owning any interest in or affiliated with Landlord shall be liable for any deficiency. The term "Landlord," as used in this Lease so far as covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee of the Premises, and in the event of any transfer or transfers or conveyance the then grantor shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance of all liability as respects the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed. The covenants and obligations contained this Lease on the part of Landlord shall, subject to the aforesaid, be binding on Landlord's successors and assigns, during and in respect of their respective successive periods of ownership. Any claim which Tenant may have against Landlord for default in performance of any of the obligations herein contained to be kept and performed by Landlord shall be deemed waived unless suit be brought thereon within one (1) year of Landlord's sale or conveyance of its interest in the Park. SECTION 20.24 BROKERS. Tenant represents that Tenant has dealt directly only with CB Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc. (the "Tenant's Brokers"), as broker, in connection with this Lease and that insofar as Tenant knows, no other broker, on behalf of Tenant, negotiated or participated in negotiations of this Lease or submitted or showed the Premises or is entitled to any commission in connection therewith.

EX-10.2 4 f81369ex10-2.txt EXHIBIT 10.2 EXHIBIT 10.2 ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT This ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (this "Assignment"), dated as of February 12, 2002 between AT&T Wireless Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("AT&T"), in its own capacity and as successor in interest to McCaw Property Investments, Inc., a Washington corporation ("Assignor") and AAS, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Assignee"). WHEREAS, Assignor is the tenant under that certain Net Lease Agreement dated October 31, 1995 (the "Original Lease") among L&A Kessler Family Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership, Marilyn Dreyfuss, Phillip Francis and J. Richard Lombardi, as successor Trustees of the Edward S. Ageno 1992 Revocable Trust, and Kay Enterprises, a California general partnership, successors in interest to Opus/Puget Western I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, "Landlord"), McCaw Property Investments, Inc. and AT&T; as amended by that Amendment 1 to Net Lease Agreement dated as of January 3, 1996 (the "1st Amend."); as amended by that Amendment 2 to Net Lease Agreement dated as of September 18, 1996 (together with the Original Lease and the 1st Amend., the "Lease"); and WHEREAS, Assignor desires to assign the Lease to Assignee, and Assignee desires to accept such assignment of the Lease from Assignor and to assume Assignor's obligations under the Lease accruing on and after the Effective Date (as defined below). NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Assignor and Assignee agree as follows: 1. Assignor does hereby assign, transfer, set over and convey unto Assignee all right, title and interest of Assignor in, to and under the Lease. 2. Assignee hereby accepts such assignment of the Lease from Assignor and assumes all of the obligations imposed upon the tenant under the Lease which accrue from and after the Effective Date. 3. This Assignment shall be effective as of the date of closing (the "Effective Date") with respect to the sale by AT&T of certain of its assets to Assignee, provided the Effective Date shall not be more than 60 days from the date hereof. 4. Assignee indemnifies, defends and holds harmless Assignor from and against any and all claims, damages, costs, liabilities, expenses and causes of action (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising under the Lease from and after the Effective Date. Assignee's failure to pay to Assignor any amounts due from Assignee pursuant to this Paragraph ("Indemnification Obligations") within ten (10) business days after written demand to Assignee shall constitute a default under this Assignment. ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT PAGE 1 5. Assignor indemnifies, defends and holds harmless Assignee from and against any and all claims, damages, costs, liabilities, expenses and causes of action (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising under the Lease prior to the Effective Date. 6. In order to secure its obligations to pay the Indemnification Obligations, Assignee hereby agrees to provide to Assignor an irrevocable, stand-by letter of credit ("LOC") in the initial amount of $4,206,608.00, which amount is equal to the sum of monthly basic rent payments payable under Section 3.1 of the Lease from the Effective Date through the expiration date of the initial term of the Lease. The LOC shall be delivered by Assignee to Assignor as of the Effective Date, in substantially the form of EXHIBIT A attached hereto. The LOC shall be issued for a one (1) year term with automatic renewals until the date ninety (90) days after the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease. If Assignor receives written notice from the issuing bank that the LOC will not be so renewed, Assignor will promptly notify Assignee, and if Assignee does not provide a replacement or substitute LOC within ten (10) business days after such notice, Assignor may draw on the LOC and hold the proceeds as a cash deposit. In the event Assignee exercises any option to extend the term of the Lease, Assignee shall provide to Assignor, at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of each renewal term, an LOC in the initial amount equal to the sum of monthly basic rent payments payable under Section 1.2(c) of the Lease from the commencement through the expiration date of such renewal term. Provided that Assignee is not in default under this Assignment, the outstanding amount of the LOC for the initial term or any renewal term of the Lease shall, on each one-year anniversary of its issuance date, decrease by the amount equal to the sum of monthly basic rent payments payable under the Lease during the previous one-year period (which sum, during the initial term of the Lease, is $901,416.00). The terms according to which Assignor may make draws under the LOC are as follows: (a) The LOC shall be payable at sight, upon draft of Assignor, accompanied by the LOC and a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of Assignor that "Assignee has committed a default under that certain Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated as of February __, 2002, between Assignor and Assignee." In such event, Assignor shall have the right to draw up to the full amount of the LOC and use the proceeds, or so much as is necessary, in payment of any Indemnification Obligations due from Assignee and in default hereunder. (b) Assignor may apply all or part of any cash proceeds to the payment of any sum in default. The amount of any cash proceeds held by Assignor and not applied by Assignor under the provisions hereof shall be refunded to Assignee within one hundred five (105) days after the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease. Assignee shall be entitled to any interest accrued on cash deposits held by Assignor as a result of a draw of the LOC. 7. With respect to the Lease, Assignee further agrees as follows: (a) Assignee shall make no amendments or modifications to the Lease that would increase Assignee's monetary obligations under the Lease or otherwise materially increase or have a material adverse affect on Assignor's obligations under this Assignment without the prior written consent of Assignor, (b) Assignee shall promptly send to Assignor copies of all material ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT PAGE 2 correspondence, notices, agreements and other items sent to or received from Landlord which are related to Assignor's ongoing liability under the Lease, and (c) Assignee shall provide a certification to Assignor, from time to time within ten (10) business days after request, which certification shall be in accordance with Section 20.7 of the Lease. 8. Netro Corporation, a Delaware corporation, hereby agrees to provide to Landlord, concurrently with the execution of this Assignment, a guaranty of the obligations of Assignee arising under the Lease in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT B. 9. Assignee hereby acknowledges that, pursuant to a separate lease with Landlord, Assignor is maintaining an antenna and related fixtures, cables, equipment and accessories (collectively, the "Communication Facility") on the roof of the building in which the premises covered by the Lease are located. In addition, Assignor maintains certain related equipment related to the Communication Facility within such building (the "Supporting Equipment"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Assignment or any other document relating to the assignment of the Lease to Assignee, Assignor reserves to itself and its successors and assigns, throughout the remaining term of the Lease and any extensions or renewals thereof, (a) a license to maintain the Supporting Equipment at its current location within the building, at no charge to Assignor, and (b) the right to access, upon reasonable prior notice to Assignee (except that no notice shall be required in case of emergency), the Communication Facility and the Supporting Equipment for the purposes of maintaining, operating, repairing and replacing the Communication Facility and the Supporting Equipment. In exercising its right of access, Assignor shall comply with Assignee's reasonable security and safety restrictions and controls. Assignee shall not, nor shall Assignee permit its employees, agents, invitees or licensee's to, in any way interfere with Assignor's rights reserved pursuant to this Section. Assignee shall not alter the current flow of electrical power to the Communication Facility and the Supporting Equipment, and Assignor shall, at its sole option, either reimburse Assignee for the cost, as reasonably determined by Assignee and Assignor, of all electricity consumed by the Communication Facility and the Supporting Equipment, or install a separate electricity meter and pay the supplier directly for the electricity consumed by the Communication Facility and the Supporting Equipment. Prior to permitting any intentional alteration or interruption of electrical power to the Communication Facility or the Supporting Equipment, Assignee shall notify Assignor and reasonably cooperate with Assignor to minimize interference with Assignor's operation of the Communication Facility. 10. This Assignment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Assignor and Assignee and their respective successors and assigns. 11. This Assignment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.
