SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the results of operations, the financial position, and cash flows, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. This report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2000 should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. The accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the interim three month period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 established new accounting and reporting standards for companies to report information about derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in earnings in the period of change. The Company intends to adopt SFAS No. 133 by January 1, 2001. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 is not anticipated to be material to the financial statements. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition" ("SAB No. 101") to provide guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements; however, SAB No. 101 does not change existing literature on revenue recognition. SAB No. 101 explains the staff's general framework for revenue recognition, stating that four criteria need to be met in order to recognize revenue. The four criteria, all of which must be met, are: (i) there must be persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) delivery must have occurred or services must have been rendered; (iii) the selling price must be fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectibility must be reasonably assured. The Company intends to adopt SAB No. 101 in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this will have on its financial statements. The FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation--an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25" ("FIN No. 44") in March 2000. The interpretation clarifies the application of Opinion 25 for only certain issues such as the following: (i) the definition of employee for purposes of applying Opinion 25, (ii) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (iii) the accounting consequences of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and (iv) the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. The Company intends to adopt FIN No. 44 by July 1, 2000. The impact of adopting FIN No. 44 is not anticipated to be material to the financial statements. 7 EVANS & SUTHERLAND COMPUTER CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. BUSINESS DIVESTITURE On March 28, 2000, the Company sold certain assets of its Applications Group relating to digital video products to RT-SET Real Time Synthesized Entertainment Technology Ltd. and its subsidiary, RT-SET America Inc., for $1.4 million in cash, common stock of RT-SET Real Time Synthesized Entertainment Technology Ltd. valued at approximately $1.0 million, and the assumption of certain liabilities. The Company may receive additional common stock of RT-SET Real Time Synthesized Entertainment Technology Ltd. valued up to $3.0 million in the event that a product currently being developed and included in the purchased assets meets certain specified performance criteria within a specified time period. 3.

NOTES PAYABLE On March 31, 2000, the Company entered into a financing facility with Zions First National Bank (the "Facility"). The Facility provides for borrowings of up to $15.0 million, which includes a $7.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at an indexed prime rate. If certain financial covenants are not met the interest rate will increase to the indexed prime rate plus a margin of 2.5% per annum. The Facility requires the Company to pay (a) letter of credit fees, which increase if the Company fails to satisfy certain financial covenants, and (b) a commitment fee, which increases if the Company fails to satisfy certain financial covenants. The Facility expires on March 30, 2001. Except for certain permitted exceptions as identified in the Facility, among other things, the Facility prevents the Company from (a) declaring or paying any dividends except as are mandatorily required on the Company's preferred stock, (b) making any distribution of assets to the Company's shareholders, investors, or equity holders, whether in cash, assets, or in obligations of the Company, (c) allocating or otherwise setting apart any sum for the payment of any dividend or distribution on, or for the purchase, redemption, or retirement of any shares of its capital stock or equity interests in excess of $2.0 million for any year, (d) making any other distribution by reduction of capital or otherwise in respect of any shares of its capital stock or equity interests in excess of $250,000, or (e) creating, incurring, assuming, or suffering to exist any debt or any encumbrance, mortgage or lien upon certain real property of the Company. The Company's obligations under the Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets, subject to other liens permitted under the Facility. As of March 31, 2000, $5.0 million was outstanding under the Facility and an additional $4.9 million was reserved under the Facility due to the issuance of letters of credit. Such amounts shall continue to be reserved and shall not otherwise be available to be advanced to the Company, until the expiration or termination of such letters of credit. 8 EVANS & SUTHERLAND COMPUTER CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company has a $5.0 million unsecured letter of credit facility with First Security Bank, N.A., of which approximately $2.7 million was unused and available as of March 31, 2000. The First Security Bank letter of credit facility expires on September 30, 2000 and requires the Company to pay letter of credit fees. In addition, the Company has unsecured letters of credit totaling approximately $3.6 million outstanding with U.S. Bank, N.A. that expire between July 2000 and June 2001. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had a revolving line of credit agreement with a foreign bank totaling approximately $4.6 million, of which approximately $1.3 million was unused and available. The Company had a letter of credit with Bank One, N.A. for $4.6 million as a guarantee for the foreign line of credit agreement. As of April 30, 2000, the Company had repaid the borrowings under the line of credit with the foreign bank. The line of credit with the foreign bank and the letter of credit with Bank One, N.A. expired April 30, 2000. 5. SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION The Company's business units have been aggregated into three reportable segments: Simulation, REALimage Solutions, and Applications. These reportable segments offer different products and services and are managed and evaluated separately because each segment uses different technologies and requires different marketing strategies. The Simulation segment provides a broad line of visual systems for flight and ground simulators for training purposes to government, aerospace and commercial airline customers. The REALimage Solutions segment provides graphics accelerator products, including graphics chips and subsystems, to the personal PC workstation marketplace. The Applications segment provides digital video applications for entertainment, educational and multimedia industries. The Company evaluates segment performance based on income (loss) from operations before income taxes, interest income and expense, other income and expense and foreign exchange gains and losses. The Company's assets are not identifiable by segment.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Net income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares and, as appropriate, dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Stock options, warrants, Class B-1 Preferred Stock and Convertible Subordinated Debentures are considered to be common stock equivalents. Basic net income (loss) per common share is the amount of net income (loss) for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is the amount of net income (loss) for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period and to each share that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Following is a reconciliation between the basic and diluted weighted-average number of common shares for all periods presented (in thousands): Three Months Ended --------------------------------- March 31, April 2, 2000 1999 -------------- --------------- (Unaudited) Basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period 9,338 9,603 Weighted-average number of dilutive common stock options outstanding during the period - 270 -------------- --------------- Diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period 9,338 9,873 ============== =============== 10 EVANS & SUTHERLAND COMPUTER CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In calculating net income (loss) per common share, net income (loss) was the same for both the basic and diluted calculations for all periods presented. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, outstanding options to purchase 2,388,423 shares of common stock, 428,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures, 901,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Company's Class B-1 Preferred Stock and 378,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise and conversion of warrants to purchase additional Class B-1 Preferred Stock were excluded from the computation of the diluted net income (loss) per common share because to include them would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended April 2, 1999, outstanding options to purchase 213,000 shares of common stock, 428,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures, 901,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Company's Class B-1 Preferred Stock and 378,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise and conversion of warrants to purchase additional Class B-1 Preferred Stock were excluded from the computation of the diluted net income (loss) per common share because to include them would have been anti-dilutive. 11 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q. Except for the historical information contained herein, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, including, among others, those statements preceded by, followed by or including the words "estimates," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "plans," "projects" or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include risk of product demand, market acceptance, economic conditions, competitive products and pricing, delays in the timely delivery of the Company's products, difficulties in product development, commercialization and technology and other risks detailed in this filing and in the Company's most recent Form 10-K. Although the Company believes it has the product offerings and resources for continuing success, future revenue and margin trends cannot be reliably predicted. Factors external to the Company can result in volatility of the Company's common stock price. Because of the foregoing factors, recent trends are not necessarily reliable indicators of future stock prices or financial performance and there can be no assurance that the events contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report will, in fact, occur. OVERVIEW Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation ("Evans & Sutherland," "E&S(R)," or the "Company"), is an established high-technology company with outstanding computer graphics technology and a worldwide presence in high-performance 3D visual simulation. In addition, E&S is now applying this core technology into higher-growth personal computer ("PC") products for both simulation and workstations. The Company's core computer graphics technology is shared among the Company's Simulation, REALimage Solutions, and Applications Groups. Simulation Group The Simulation Group provides a broad line of visual systems for flight and ground training and related services to the United States and international armed forces, NASA and aerospace companies. E&S remains an industry leader for visual systems sales to various United States government agencies and more than 20 foreign governments for the primary purpose of training military vehicle operators. The Simulation Group is also a leading independent supplier of visual systems for flight simulators for commercial airlines. This group provides over 50 percent of the visual systems installed in full-flight training simulators for civil airlines, training centers, simulator manufacturers and aircraft manufacturers. The group's visual systems create dynamic, high quality, out-the-window scenes that simulate the view vehicle operators see when performing tasks under actual operating conditions. The visual systems are an integral part of full mission simulators, which incorporate a number of other components, including cockpits or vehicle cabs and large hydraulic motion systems. REALimage Solutions Group The REALimage Solutions Group develops and sells graphics chips and graphics subsystems for the personal workstation marketplace. This group sells to personal workstation OEMs and to end users. In February 2000, the Company changed the strategic focus of the REALimage Solutions Group to the high-end digital content creation ("DCC") segment. The group will provide the base graphics and video processing technology to leading hardware system-solution providers in the high-end DCC segment. The goal of the group is to provide a "studio-on-a-chip" to bring together real-time graphics and video in a unique and effective way to support all aspects of visual content creation for broadcasting and netcasting applications. 12 Applications Group The Applications Group is composed of synergistic businesses that use E&S core technology in growth markets. The group's products are applications that leverage the technology of the Company's Simulation or REALimage Solutions Groups and apply them to other growth markets. The Applications Group's digital theater products include hardware, software, and content for both the entertainment and educational marketplaces. Digital theater focuses on immersive all-dome theater applications combining colorful digitally-produced imagery, full-spectrum audio, and audience-participation capability. The group provides turnkey solutions incorporating visual systems and sub-systems from the Simulation and REALimage Solutions Groups. E&S integrates these systems with projection equipment, audio components, and audience-participation systems from other suppliers. Products include Digistar(R), a calligraphic projection system designed to compete with analog star projectors in planetariums, and StarRider(R), a full-color, interactive, domed theater experience. The group is a leading supplier of digital display systems in the planetarium marketplace. The Applications Group's E&S RAPIDsite(TM) product is a photo-realistic visualization tool designed for use by real-estate developers, consulting engineers, architects and municipal planners involved with urban, suburban and environmentally sensitive development projects. E&S RAPIDsite features fast 3D-model construction, accelerated graphics rendering performance and easy-to-use interactive exploration of a proposed development on a Windows NT computer with an Open GL(R) graphics accelerator. Until March 28, 2000, the Application Group's digital video products provided Windows NT, open system, standard platform based virtual studio systems for digital content production in the television broadcast, film, video, corporate training and multimedia industries. The E&S solution offered significant improvement in cost, ease of use and flexibility compared with the traditional, proprietary UNIX-based systems common in this developing market. The group's products were all-inclusive system solutions that incorporate visual system components and subsystems from the Simulation and REALimage Solutions Groups. E&S MindSet(TM), Virtual Studio System(TM) and the FuseBox(TM) controlled software with real-time, frame-accurate camera tracking and enabled live talent to perform in real time on a virtual set generated using E&S 3D computer technology.

First Quarter 2000 Compared to First Quarter 1999 Sales In the first quarter of 2000, sales decreased $3.7 million, or 8% ($46.0 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $49.7 million in the first quarter of 1999). Sales in the Simulation Group increased $0.1 million, or less than 1% ($40.4 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $40.3 million in the first quarter of 1999). Sales in the REALimage Solutions Group decreased $6.6 million, or 82% ($1.5 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $8.1 million in the first quarter of 1999). The decline in sales in the REALimage Solutions Group is due to a decrease in the number of units sold and decreased selling prices of existing products due to increased competition and delays in introduction of new products. Management anticipates sales in the REALimage Solutions Group for each of the remaining quarters of 2000 to be consistent with sales in the first quarter of 2000. Sales in the Applications Group increased $2.7 million, or 199% ($4.1 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $1.4 million in the first quarter of 1999). The increase in sales in the Applications Group was due to increased sales volume of planetarium systems and large-format entertainment product contracts. This increase was partially offset by a decline in the number of shipments of virtual studio systems. 14 Gross Profit Gross profit declined $6.3 million, or 28% ($16.1 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $22.4 million in the first quarter of 1999). As a percent of sales, gross profit declined to 35.1% in the first quarter of 2000 compared to 45.0% in the first quarter of 1999. The decrease in gross margin is due to lower margins in the Simulation Group primarily due to higher costs on several contracts to government customers which include the Harmony(TM) image generator. In addition, gross margin in the REALimage Solutions Group decreased as a result of decreased selling prices of existing products. Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.1 million, or 1% ($10.3 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $10.2 million in the first quarter of 1999). As a percent of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 22.4% in the first quarter of 2000 compared to 20.6% in the first quarter of 1999. The increase in these expenses is due to increased expenses in the Simulation Group offset by lower expenses in the REALimage Solutions Group due to the restructuring in the third quarter of 1999. Research and Development Research and development expenses increased $0.4 million, or 4% ($11.5 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $11.1 million in the first quarter of 1999). As a percent of sales, research and development expenses increased to 25.1% in the first quarter of 2000 compared to 22.3% in the first quarter of 1999. The increase in these expenses is due to increased research and development expenses related to the Harmony, iNTegrator(R) and Ensemble(TM) products in the Simulation Group offset by lower research and development expenses in the REALimage Solutions Group due to the restructuring in the third quarter 1999. Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets decreased $0.7 million, or 94% ($45,000 in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $0.7 million in the first quarter of 1999). The decrease in this expense is due to the write-off of $9.3 million of goodwill and other intangible assets during the third quarter of 1999. Gain on Sale of Business Unit During the first quarter of 2000, the Company sold certain assets of its Applications Group relating to digital video products resulting in a gain of $1.1 million. There was no such event in the first quarter of 1999. Other Income (Expense), Net Other income (expense), net decreased $0.2 million (net expense of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to net income of $15,000 in the first quarter of 1999). The decrease is due to a decrease in interest income and increase in miscellaneous expenses. Income Taxes The effective tax rate was 34.3% and 31.1% of pre-tax earnings for the first quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively. These rates are calculated based on an estimated annual effective tax rate applied to earnings before income taxes. 15 LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES At March 31, 2000, the Company had working capital of $113.9 million, including cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $16.8 million, compared to working capital of $116.9 million at December 31, 1999 including cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $22.9 million. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company used $10.7 million in its operating activities, used $0.5 million in its investing activities and generated $5.9 million from its financing activities. The primary uses of cash from the Company's operating activities included a $11.0 million increase in accounts receivable, a $4.3 million decrease in accrued expenses and a $4.3 million decrease in income taxes payable. These uses of cash were partially offset by a $4.6 million increase in accounts payable and a $3.5 million decrease in costs and estimated earning in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, net. The increase in accounts receivable and net decrease in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts were due to achieving certain billing milestones near the end of the quarter. The Company's investing activities during the first quarter of 2000 included capital expenditures of $1.8 million for building improvements and equipment and proceeds of $1.0 million for the sale of certain assets of the Company's Digital Video business unit. The Company's financing activities during the first quarter of 2000 included $6.3 million in borrowings from notes payable. On March 31, 2000, the Company entered into a financing facility with Zions First National Bank (the "Facility"). The Facility provides for borrowings of up to $15.0 million, which includes a $7.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at an indexed prime rate. If certain financial covenants are not met the interest rate will increase to the indexed prime rate plus a margin of 2.5% per annum. The Facility requires the Company to pay (a) letter of credit fees, which increase if the Company fails to satisfy certain financial covenants, and (b) a commitment fee, which increases if the Company fails to satisfy certain financial covenants. The Facility expires on March 30, 2001. Except for certain permitted exceptions as identified in the Facility, among other things, the Facility prevents the Company from (a) declaring or paying any dividends except as are mandatorily required on the Company's preferred stock, (b) making any distribution of assets to the Company's shareholders, investors, or equity holders, whether in cash, assets, or in obligations of the Company, (c) allocating or otherwise setting apart any sum for the payment of any dividend or distribution on, or for the purchase, redemption, or retirement of any shares of its capital stock or equity interests in excess of $2.0 million for any year, (d) making any other distribution by reduction of capital or otherwise in respect of any shares of its capital stock or equity interests in excess of $250,000, or (e) creating, incurring, assuming, or suffering to exist any debt or any encumbrance, mortgage or lien upon certain real property of the Company. The Company's obligations under the Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets, subject to other liens permitted under the Facility. As of March 31, 2000, $5.0 million was outstanding under the Facility and an additional $4.9 million was reserved under the Facility due to the issuance of letters of credit. Such amounts shall continue to be reserved and shall not otherwise be available to be advanced to the Company, until the expiration or termination of such letters of credit. The Company has a $5.0 million unsecured letter of credit facility with First Security Bank, N.A., of which approximately $2.7 million was unused and available as of March 31, 2000. The First Security Bank letter of credit facility expires on September 30, 2000 and requires the Company to pay letter of credit fees. In addition, the Company has unsecured letters of credit totaling approximately $3.6 million outstanding with U.S. Bank, N.A. that expire between July 2000 and June 2001. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had a revolving line of credit agreement with a foreign bank totaling approximately $4.6 million, of which approximately $1.3 million was unused and available. The Company had a letter of credit with Bank One, N.A. for $4.6 million as a guarantee for the foreign line of credit agreement. As of April 30, 2000, the Company had repaid the borrowings under the line of credit with the foreign bank. The line of credit with the foreign bank and the letter of credit with Bank One, N.A. expired April 30, 2000. 16 On February 18, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock, including the 327,000 shares still available from the repurchase authorization approved by the Board of Directors on November 11, 1996. On September 8, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Subsequent to February 18, 1998, the Company repurchased 1,136,500 shares of its common stock, leaving 463,500 shares available for repurchase as of May 5, 2000. Stock may be acquired in the open market or through negotiated transactions. Under the program, repurchases may be made from time to time, depending on market conditions, share price, and other factors. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $18.0 million of 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due in 2012 (the "6% Debentures"). The 6% Debentures are unsecured and are convertible at each bondholder's option into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $42.10 or 428,000 shares of the Company's common stock subject to adjustment. The 6% Debentures are redeemable at the Company's option, in whole or in part, at par. Management believes that existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances, borrowings available under its Facility and expected cash from future operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated working capital needs, routine capital expenditures and current debt service obligations for the next twelve months. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are available for working capital needs, capital expenditures, strategic investments, mergers and acquisitions, stock repurchases and other potential cash needs as they may arise. On a longer-term basis, if future cash from operations and its existing Facility are not sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements, the Company may be required to renegotiate its existing Facility or seek additional financing from the issuance of debt or equity securities. There can be no assurances that the Company would be successful in renegotiating its existing Facility or obtaining additional debt or equity financing.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The principal market risks to which the Company is exposed are changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. The Company's international sales, which accounted for 39% of the Company's total sales in the three months ended March 31, 2000 are concentrated in the United Kingdom, continental Europe and Asia. The Company manages its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates by entering into most of its sales and purchase contracts for products and materials in U.S. dollars. Occasionally, the Company enters into sales and purchase contracts for products and materials denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars and in those cases the Company enters into foreign exchange forward sales or purchase contracts to offset those exposures. Foreign currency purchase and sale contracts are entered into for periods consistent with related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. The Company does not enter into contracts for trading purposes and does not use leveraged contracts. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had no material sales or purchase contracts in currencies other than U.S. dollars and had no foreign currency sales or purchase contracts. The Company reduces its exposure to changes in interest rates by maintaining a high proportion of its debt in fixed-rate instruments. As of March 31, 2000, 69% of the Company's total debt was in fixed-rate instruments; however, the Company has a financing facility that provides for borrowings by the Company of up to $15.0 million. The borrowings bear interest at a variable rate at an indexed prime rate. If the Company were to borrow all of the $15.0 million of the financing facility, 55% of the Company's total debt would be in fixed-rate instruments. In addition, the Company maintains an average maturity of its short-term investment portfolio under twelve months to avoid large changes in its market value. 17 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.

Borrower is authorized to utilize the Loan for the purpose of obtaining the issuance of one or more letter(s) of credit by Lender, up to an aggregate amount of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) for use in Borrower's business operations. Upon issuance of any letter of credit and continuing until the cancellation or termination thereof, Lender shall reserve the amount of the letter of credit from the Loan proceeds, which reserved amount shall not be available for other Borrower draws or advances, whether or not any claim is actually made against the letter of credit. Any amount reserved for a letter of credit facility shall not bear interest unless and until any amounts are drawn thereon and then only to the extent of said draws. In addition to any fees assessed under the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to be executed by Borrower with issuance of any letter of credit, Borrower shall pay to Lender a fee upon the issuance of any letter of credit which shall be calculated as follows: (a) If Borrower has fulfilled all of the Tier I financial covenants set forth in Section 5.15 of this Agreement for the immediately preceding quarter, Borrower shall pay a fee equal to two percent (2%) per annum of the amount of said letter of credit. 6 (b) If Borrower has failed to fulfill all of the Tier I financial covenants set forth in Section 5.15 of this Agreement for the immediately preceding quarter, Borrower shall pay a fee equal to four and one-half percent (4.5%) per annum of the amount of said letter of credit. (c) If, having received the preferential pricing of the letter of credit issuance fee, Borrower thereafter fails to maintain compliance with all Tier I financial covenants set forth in Section 5.15 of this Agreement in any future quarter during the term of the letter of credit, Borrower shall pay an additional fee of two and one-half percent (2.5%) per annum of the amount of said letter of credit. The maturity of any letter of credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 may extend at the election of Borrower up to ninety (90) days beyond the maturity date of the Loan. However, any such extension shall not effect any extension upon any other obligation or other covenant under taken by Borrower in the Loan Documents, except as specifically set forth in those certain documents executed concurrently with the issuance of the letter of credit.

Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, mortgage, assign, convey, transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of or encumber the Project, Borrower's interest in the Project, or any part of the Project, or the income to be derived from the Project. 10 5.2 Right of Inspection. Lender or Lender's agents shall at all times during the term of the Loan and at Borrower's expense have the right of entry upon and have free access to the Project and have the right to inspect all books, contracts and records of Borrower relating thereto. 5.3 Insurance. Borrower shall provide and maintain, or cause to be provided and maintained, at all times, the insurance policies required to be provided and maintained pursuant to the Ground Lease, and the following insurance policies: 5.3.1 Liability Insurance. Bodily injury and general liability insurance with a single limit per accident or occurrence of not less than $1,000,000.00 acceptable to Lender insuring against any and all liability of the insured with respect to the Project or arising out of the maintenance, use or occupancy thereof. 5.3.2 Property Hazard Insurance. Multi-peril property damage insurance, including, without limitation, fixtures and personal property to the extent they are maintained on the Property, and providing, as a minimum, fire and extended coverage (including all perils normally covered by the standard "all risk" endorsement, if such is available) on a full replacement cost basis in an amount not less than 100% of the insurable value of the improvements, exclusive of the Property, foundations and other items normally excluded from coverage (based upon current replacement cost), with a single limit per accident or occurrence of not less than $1,000,000.00. 5.3.3 Worker's Compensation Insurance. Worker's compensation insurance against liability from claims of worker's with respect to and during the period of any work on or about the Property.

Flood insurance covering either the Principal Amount or the maximum amount of insurance available, whichever is more, or in lieu of such flood insurance, evidence, satisfactory to Lender, that no part of the Project is, or will be, within an area designated as a flood hazard area by the Federal Insurance Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development. 5.3.5 Policies and Premiums. All policies of insurance required pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender and issued by insurance companies acceptable to Lender. No insurance company shall be acceptable to Lender unless it has a company rating of not less than "A" and a financial rating of not less than Class VII in the most recent edition of "Best's Insurance Reports". All policies of insurance required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall contain a standard "mortgagee protection clause", shall have attached a "lender's loss payable endorsement", and shall name Lender as an additional insured or loss payee, as appropriate. All such policies shall contain a provision that such policies will not be cancelled or materially amended by reduction of coverage by more than ten percent (10%) without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender. 11 If Lender consents to Borrower providing any of the required insurance through blanket policies carried by Borrower and covering more than one location, then Borrower shall cause the insurance company to deliver to Lender a certificate of insurance in the form ACORD 27 of such policy which sets forth the coverage, the limits of liability, the name of the carrier, the policy number, expiration date and a statement that the insurance company will not cancel or materially modify by reduction of coverage by more than ten percent (10%) the coverage evidenced by the endorsement without first affording Lender at least thirty (30) days prior written notice. In the event Borrower fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver to Lender the policies of insurance required by this Section 5.3, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so, procure such insurance for such risks covering Lender's interest and Borrower shall pay all premiums thereon promptly upon demand by Lender. If Borrower fails to pay any premiums after demand by Lender, Lender, at Lender's option, may advance any sums necessary to maintain and to keep in force such insurance. Any sums so advanced, together with interest on such sums at the then current rate under the Note, shall be secured by the Trust Deed. Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of the original of each of the policies of insurance that Borrower is required to obtain and maintain, or cause to be provided and maintained, under this Agreement. 5.4 Repair and Restoration. If the Project is partially or wholly damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause, and (a) all insurance proceeds received by Lender together with any cash funds delivered by Borrower to Lender are sufficient to fully restore and repair the Project as determined by Lender, in Lender's sole discretion, and (b) Borrower is not in default under any of the Loan Documents, Lender shall disburse such proceeds in the manner provided herein for the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan toward the cost of such restoration and repair. If Lender determines that such proceeds together with any cash funds provided by Borrower are insufficient to fully restore the Project, Lender will apply any sums received by Lender under this Section first to the payment of all of Lender's costs and expenses (including but not limited to legal fees and costs) incurred in obtaining those sums, and then, in Lender's sole discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security, to the payment of the Loan. If the amount of such proceeds exceeds the cost of restoration of the Project, Lender shall apply the excess proceeds to the payment of the Loan. If the proceeds of insurance are used to restore the Project and if the total estimated cost to restore the Project exceeds the amount of the proceeds of insurance, Borrower shall deliver to Lender prior to any disbursement of the proceeds of insurance, an amount equal to such difference in cash or cash equivalents satisfactory to Lender. After all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents have been paid in full, then all proceeds in excess of such obligations will be paid to Borrower. 5.5 Taxes and Impositions. Borrower shall promptly pay and discharge all lawful federal and state taxes and assessments imposed upon the Project or upon Borrower before they become past due and delinquent in accordance with the procedures and upon the terms set forth in the Trust Deed. 5.6 Hazardous Materials. Borrower shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be placed, held, located or disposed of on, under or at the Project or any part thereof which are in violation of any Environmental Laws or the Ground Lease. Borrower further agrees to give notice to Lender immediately upon Borrower's learning of the presence of any Hazardous Materials 12 on the Property, to promptly comply with any governmental requirements requiring the removal, treatment or disposal of such Hazardous Materials, and to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender from any and all liabilities, claims, losses or costs (including, without limitation attorneys' fees) which may now or in the future be paid, incurred or suffered by or asserted against Lender by any person, entity or governmental agency with respect to the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Property or discharge of Hazardous Materials from the Property. Borrower's covenants in this Section shall survive payment of the Loan and foreclosure or other transfer of the Property. At any time Lender, in good faith, has reason to believe Hazardous Materials have been placed, held, located or disposed of on, under or at the Property or any part thereof, other than as stated in the Environmental Report, and upon written request by Lender and at Borrower's cost and expense, Borrower shall provide Lender with an Environmental Compliance Audit Certificate, effective as of a date no earlier than the date of the notice. Borrower shall certify to Lender in writing within thirty (30) days of the notice that the Project is in full compliance with Environmental Laws. In the event Borrower fails or refuses promptly to provide Lender with an Environmental Compliance Audit Certificate when required, Lender may, at Borrower's risk and expense, arrange to obtain such a certificate. In the event the Project is in a condition such that an Environmental Compliance Audit Certificate cannot be issued, Borrower agrees, at its own cost and expense, to take all action necessary to bring the Project into compliance with all Environmental Laws, including all remediation and clean-up, so an Environmental Compliance Audit Certificate can be issued. Lender and any consultant retained by or for the benefit of Lender shall have the right, without further permission from or notice to Borrower, to enter upon the Project for the purpose of performing any examination or testing required in order to provide such a certificate, and Borrower shall provide the consultant with reasonable access to Borrower's records for such purposes. Any costs incurred by Lender in obtaining such a certificate shall be added to the Principal Indebtedness and shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the default rate provided in the Note from the date incurred until paid by Borrower. 5.7 No Disposition or Merger Without Lender's Consent. Borrower shall not enter into any merger with any third party, or otherwise dispose of an aggregate of more than ten percent (10%) of the total value of Borrower's assets as of the date of disposition other than in the ordinary course of Borrower's business. 5.8 Leases. Borrower shall not enter into any lease or leases of all or any portion of the Project without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower shall maintain all such leases approved by Lender, which shall be included in the definition of "Leases" under this Agreement, in full force and effect. Borrower shall notify Lender of any breach of any of the terms and conditions of any of the Leases within fifteen (15) days of such breach. Borrower agrees that the Leases shall not be materially amended or modified without the prior written consent of Lender. 5.9 Financial Statements. Borrower covenants that it shall timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission any and all reports required to be filed pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including any applicable extension period. As to all financial statements and reports which Borrower has furnished or may in the future furnish to Lender, Borrower 13 acknowledges and agrees that it has a fiduciary duty to ensure that such statements and reports are accurate and complete. Until requested otherwise by Lender, Borrower shall provide the following financial statements and reports to Lender: 5.9.1 Annual Reports. Furnish to Lender promptly following the filing of such report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (i) a copy of Borrower's Annual Report on Form 10-K for each fiscal year; and (ii) copies of any final management letters or other final reports and schedules submitted by Borrower's officers to Borrower's Board of Directors, which shall include a consolidated balance sheet as of the end of such fiscal year, a consolidated statement of income and a consolidated statement of cash flows of Borrower and its subsidiaries for such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures from Borrower's previous fiscal year, all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices, consistently applied, and audited by nationally recognized independent certified public accounts.

If Borrower is no longer required to file Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Borrower shall, within forty-five (45) days following the end of each of the first three (3) fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, deliver to Lender a copy of such balance sheets, statements of income and statements of cash flows. 5.9.3 Monthly Reports.

Nothing in this Section 5.9 shall be construed to alter, impair or infringe upon Lender's right to declare an Event of Default as provided in this Agreement or to alter or extend the time limits for cure of a non-monetary default as provided in Article 6 of this Agreement. 5.10 Title Policy. Within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a policy of title insurance on the Property which shall (a) be an ALTA extended coverage mortgagee's policy, (b) show Ground Lessor as the sole owner of marketable, fee simple title to the Property and Borrower as the sole ground lessee of the Property, (c) be in the total amount of the Principal Amount, and (d) be issued by a title insurance company satisfactory to Lender through the Title Company (the "Title Policy"). The Title Policy shall insure that the Trust Deed is a valid first mortgage lien against the Property and that the Property is free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and other exceptions to title, except the Permitted Encumbrances. The Title Policy shall include such additional terms and special endorsements upon issuance as may be required by Lender, including, but not limited to, a foundation endorsement (CLTA 102.5 or its equivalent) to the Title Policy showing no encroachments. 5.11 Required Notices.

The doctrines of compulsory counterclaim, res judicata, and collateral estoppel shall apply to any arbitration proceeding hereunder so that a party must state as a counterclaim in the arbitration proceeding any claim or controversy which arises out of the transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter of the Dispute. The arbitrator(s) may in the arbitrator(s)' discretion and at the request of any party: (1) consolidate in a single arbitration proceeding any other claim or controversy involving another party that is substantially related to the Dispute where that other party is bound by an arbitration clause with the Lender, such as borrowers, guarantors, sureties, and owners of collateral; (2) consolidate in a single arbitration proceeding any other claim or controversy that is substantially similar to the Dispute; and (3) administer multiple arbitration claims or controversies as class actions in accordance with the provisions of Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 20 8.2.3 The arbitrator(s) shall be selected in accordance with the rules of the Administrator from panels maintained by the Administrator.

NOTARY PUBLIC My Commission Expires: Residing At: 27 EXHIBIT A REAL PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The real property located in Salt Lake County, State of Utah, and more particularly described as follows: [SEE ATTACHED EXHIBIT A] 28 EX-10.2 3 $15,000,000 PROMISORY NOTE - ZFNB Loan No. PROMISSORY NOTE Salt Lake City, Utah March 31, 2000 $15,000,000.00 1. Promise to Pay. For value received, Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation, a Utah corporation ( "Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of Zions First National Bank, a national banking association ("Lender"), at its office at P.O. Box 25822 One South Main Street, in Salt Lake City, Utah 84125, or at such other place as Lender may from time to time designate, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00), or so much of that sum as may be advanced under this Promissory Note by any holder, together with all other advances made pursuant to this Promissory Note (collectively the "Principal Indebtedness"), plus interest as computed below. This Promissory Note is referred to in and arises out of a Loan Agreement dated the Closing Date (the "Loan Agreement") between Borrower and Lender and is secured by the Collateral. 2. Interest. The outstanding balance of the Principal Indebtedness shall bear interest from the Closing Date at Lender's Prime Rate (as defined below). Interest shall accrue daily on the outstanding balance of the Principal Indebtedness both before and after judgment, and shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest is computed on a 360-day year simple interest basis by applying the ratio for the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days (365/360), multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. The applicable annual total interest rate, as computed in accordance with the foregoing, shall be adjusted with each change of the Prime Rate, effective on the date of the change in the Prime Rate. If, at any time during the term of the Loan, Borrower fails to fully satisfy any of the Tier I financial covenants as set forth in Section 5.15 of the Loan Agreement, the interest rate of this Promissory Note shall be increased for each calendar quarter thereafter until said Tier I financial covenants are fully satisfied, to a variable interest rate of two and one-half percent (2.50%) per annum above Lender's Prime Rate. As used in this Promissory Note, the term "Prime Rate" shall be deemed to mean an index which is determined daily by the published commercial loan variable rate index held by any two of the following banks: Chase Manhattan Bank, Wells Fargo Bank N.A., and Bank of America N.A. In the event no two of the above banks have the same published rate, the bank having the median rate will establish Lender's Prime Rate. If, for any reason beyond the control of Lender, any of the aforementioned banks becomes unacceptable as a reference for the purpose of determining the Prime Rate used herein, Lender may, five days after posting notice in Lender's bank offices, substitute another comparable bank for the one determined unacceptable. As used in this paragraph, "comparable bank" shall mean one of the ten largest commercial banks headquartered in the United States of America. This definition of Prime Rate is to be strictly interpreted and is not intended to serve any purpose other than providing an index to determine the variable interest rate used herein. It is not the lowest rate at which Lender may make loans to any of its customers, either now or in the future. 1 3. Payments. Accrued interest computed in accordance with the foregoing shall be due and payable on May 1, 2000 and thereafter on the first day of each and every month thereafter to and including March 30, 2001, when the total unpaid Principal Indebtedness and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable in full. Checks will constitute payment only when collected. 4. Lender's Expenditures. Borrower agrees to pay on demand any reasonable expenditures made by Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the payment of taxes, insurance premiums, costs of maintenance and preservation of the Property, common expense and other assessments relating to the Property, and attorney fees and costs incurred in connection with any matter pertaining hereto or to the security pledged to secure the Principal Indebtedness or any portion thereof (collectively the "Lender Expenditures"). At the election of Lender, all Lender Expenditures may be added to the unpaid balance of this Promissory Note and become a part of and on a parity with the Principal Indebtedness secured by the Trust Deed and shall accrue interest at such rate as may be computed from time to time in the manner prescribed in this Promissory Note. 5. Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right, from time to time and at any time, to prepay all, or any part, of the Loan at any time or times prior to the maturity of the Loan without payment of any premium or penalty. Borrower agrees that any prepayment shall be made to Lender in the form of cash or equivalent prior to 3:00 p.m. Mountain Time to facilitate investment of such prepayment funds for account of Lender. In the event this deadline is not met, interest will continue to accrue on the unpaid loan balance at the rate specified herein through and including Lender's next regular banking day. 6. Late Charge. If any payment is fifteen (15) days or more late, Borrower will be charged five percent (5%) of the regularly scheduled payment or $50.00, whichever is greater. 7. Default Interest Rate. If default occurs in the payment of any principal or interest past any applicable grace or cure period, or if any Event of Default occurs under the Loan Documents, time being the essence hereof, then (a) the entire unpaid balance, shall, at the election of the holder of this Promissory Note and without notice of such election, become immediately due and payable in full, and (b) without notice and whether or not the principal balance has been accelerated, all outstanding principal shall bear interest at a default rate from the date when due until paid, both before and after judgment, which default rate shall be four percent (4%) per annum above Lender's Prime Rate. If this Promissory Note becomes in default or payment is accelerated, Borrower agrees to pay to the holder of this Promissory Note all collection costs, including reasonable attorney fees and legal expenses, in addition to all other sums due under this Promissory Note. 8. Application of Payments. Any and all payments by Borrower under this Promissory Note shall be applied as follows: first, to the repayment of any Lender Expenditures advanced by Lender under this Promissory Note or pursuant to the Loan Documents; second, to the payment of any late charges; third, to the payment of accrued interest on the Principal Indebtedness; and fourth, to the payment of the Principal Indebtedness. 2 9. Extension. The time for any payment required under this Promissory Note may be extended from time to time at the election of Lender. Acceptance by Lender of additional security or guarantees for the performance of the terms and provisions contained in this Promissory Note shall not in any way affect the liability of Borrower. 10. Governing Law. This Promissory Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah. 11. Interest Limitation. All agreements between the parties to this Promissory Note and the holder of this Promissory Note are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of deferment or advancement of the proceeds of the Loan evidenced by this Promissory Note, acceleration of maturity of the Loan, or otherwise shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to holder for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be loaned under this Promissory Note exceed the maximum interest rate permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Promissory Note or of any other agreement between the parties to this Promissory Note and the holder, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity. In the event that any payment is received by the holder of this Promissory Note which would otherwise be deemed to be a payment of interest in excess of the maximum allowed by law, such payment shall be deemed to have been paid on account of principal at the time of receipt. This provision shall never be superseded or waived and shall control every other provision of this Promissory Note and all agreements between the parties and the holder of this Promissory Note. 12. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined in this Promissory Note, capitalized terms hereinafter used have the meanings given them in the Loan Agreement. DATED: March 31, 2000.

In such event, Trustor shall cause all bills, statements or other documents relating to the Impositions and insurance premiums to be sent to Beneficiary. Providing Trustor has deposited sufficient funds with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 8.4, Beneficiary shall pay such amounts as may be due thereunder out of the funds so deposited with Beneficiary. If at any time and for any reason the funds deposited with Beneficiary are or will be insufficient to pay such amounts as may then or subsequently be due, Beneficiary shall notify Trustor and Trustor shall immediately deposit an amount equal to such deficiency with Beneficiary. Nothing contained herein shall cause Beneficiary to be deemed a trustee of such funds deposited with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 8.4. Beneficiary shall not be obligated to pay any interest on any sums held by Beneficiary pending disbursement or application hereunder, and Beneficiary may impound or reserve for future payment of Impositions and insurance premiums such portion of such payments as Beneficiary may, in Beneficiary's absolute discretion, deem proper, applying the balance on the principal of or interest on the Obligations secured hereby. Should Trustor fail to deposit with Beneficiary (exclusive of that portion of the payments which has been applied by Beneficiary on the principal of or interest on the Note) sums sufficient to fully pay such Impositions and insurance premiums at least thirty (30) days before delinquency thereof, Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's election, but without any obligation to do so, may advance any amounts required to make up the deficiency, which advances, if any, shall be secured by this Trust Deed and shall bear interest and be repayable to Beneficiary in the manner specified in Section 8.6 of this Trust Deed. 8.5 Performance in Trustor's Stead. Should Trustor fail to make any payment or to do any act as provided in this Trust Deed, then Beneficiary or Trustee, but without any obligation to do so, and without notice to or demand upon Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereof, may: (a) make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as either may deem necessary to protect the security hereof (Beneficiary or Trustee being authorized to enter upon the Trust Estate for such purposes); (b) commence, appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; or (c) pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which in the judgment of either appears to be superior to the lien of this Trust Deed; and in exercising any such powers, incur any liability, or expend such reasonable amounts as Beneficiary may reasonably deem necessary therefor, including costs of evidence of title, employment of attorneys, and payment of reasonable attorney fees and costs. All such amounts expended by either or both Trustee or Beneficiary shall, at the election of Beneficiary, be added to the principal indebtedness secured by this Trust Deed and shall accrue interest in accordance with the terms of the Note. Trustor hereby waives and releases all claims or causes of action which may hereafter arise in favor of Trustor against Beneficiary by reason of any action taken by Beneficiary pursuant to any power or authority granted in this Section 8.5, except for Beneficiary's gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 8.6 Repayment of Advances. Trustor shall immediately repay to Beneficiary sums, with interest thereon as provided in the Note, which at any time may be paid or advanced by Beneficiary for the payment of insurance premiums, Impositions, title searches, title reports or abstracts, and any other advances made by Beneficiary which are reasonably necessary or desirable to maintain this Trust Deed as a prior, valid, and subsisting lien upon the Trust Estate, to preserve and protect Beneficiary's interest in this Trust Deed or to preserve, repair, or maintain the Trust Estate. All such advances shall be wholly optional on the part of Beneficiary, and Trustor's obligation to repay the same, with interest, to Beneficiary shall be secured by the lien of this Trust Deed. 8.7 No Removal of Fixtures. Trustor shall not, and shall cause, to the extent of Trustor's ability, Ground Lessor to not, during the existence of this Trust Deed and without the written consent of Beneficiary, remove from the Real Property or the Improvements, any fixture, structure, or other improvement at any time affixed or constructively affixed to the Real Property or the Improvements or any portion thereof, or any Personalty, except in the ordinary course of Trustor's business. 8.8 Further Assurance. Trustor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary such further instruments, including without limitation Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements and Continuation Statements, and do such further acts as may be necessary or as may be reasonably required by Beneficiary to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Trust Deed and to subject to the lien, security interest and mortgage created or intended to be created hereby any property, rights, or interests covered or intended to be covered by this Trust Deed. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Trustor authorizes (to the extent such authorization is valid under applicable law) Beneficiary to execute and file, without Trustor's signature, such Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements and Continuation Statements as Beneficiary may deem necessary in order to perfect, or continue the perfection of, the security interests created by this Trust Deed. 8.9 Attornment. Trustor shall assign to Beneficiary, as additional security for Trustor's performance of the Obligations, any and all existing or future lease agreements entered into by Trustor, as landlord, which pertain to the Property or the Improvements, or any portion thereof, and all such leases shall contain a covenant on the part of the tenant thereunder, enforceable by Beneficiary, obligating such tenant, upon request of Beneficiary, to attorn to and become a tenant of Beneficiary, or any purchaser from Trustee or through foreclosure of this Trust Deed, for the unexpired term, and subject to the terms and conditions, of such future lease agreements. The assignments of lease shall be in form and content satisfactory to Beneficiary. 8.10 No Further Encumbrances. As an express condition of Beneficiary making the loan secured by this Trust Deed, Trustor shall not further encumber, pledge, mortgage, hypothecate, place any lien, charge or claim upon, or otherwise give as security the Trust Estate or any interest therein nor cause or allow by operation of law the encumbrance of the Trust Estate or any interest therein without the written consent of Beneficiary even though such encumbrance may be junior to the encumbrance created by this Trust Deed. Encumbrance of the Trust Estate contrary to the provisions of this Section 8.10 without the express written consent of Beneficiary, shall constitute an Event of Default and at Beneficiary's option, Beneficiary may declare the entire balance of principal and interest immediately due and payable, whether the same be created by Trustor or an unaffiliated third party asserting a judgment lien, mechanic's or materialmen's lien or any other type of encumbrance or title defect. 8.11 Due on Sale. Other than (a) a transfer by devise, descent or by operation of law upon the death of a joint tenant; (b) a transfer of Personalty in the ordinary course of Trustor's business; or (c) the grant of any leasehold interest of ten (10) years or less not containing an option to purchase, Trustor shall not sell, convey or otherwise transfer the Trust Estate or any part thereof or interest therein, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, except as authorized in the Loan Agreement. If the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, is sold, conveyed or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, or if Trustor be divested of title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof or interest therein, in any manner, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, then the full principal indebtedness of the Note and the other Obligations, at the option of Beneficiary and without demand or notice, shall immediately become due and payable. 8.12 Evidence of Title. Trustor shall deliver to, pay for and maintain with Beneficiary until the indebtedness secured hereby is paid in full, such evidence of title as Beneficiary may require, including abstracts of title or policies of title insurance and any extensions or renewals thereof or supplements or endorsements thereto. 8.13 Additional Collateral. If, at any time, the value of all of the Trust Estate, based on an MAI appraisal acceptable to Beneficiary, is not sufficient to establish a ratio between the total amount of the Obligations then due and owing and the value of all of the Trust Estate equal to or less than one hundred percent (100%), Trustor shall provide Beneficiary with such additional collateral as is necessary so that the total value of all collateral securing Trustor's performance of the Obligations is sufficient to establish a ratio between the total amount of the Obligations then due and owing and the value of all such collateral of no more than one hundred percent (100%). 8.14 Compliance With Laws. Trustor shall comply, and shall enforce its rights under the Ground Lease and cause Ground Lessor to comply, with all laws, ordinances, regulations, easement agreements, covenants, conditions, and restrictions (including laws relating to hazardous wastes and/or protection of the environment, or species of plants or animals protected by federal, state, local or other law) affecting the Trust Estate. Trustor shall not cause, permit nor suffer any violation of any of the foregoing and shall pay all response costs, fees, or charges of any kind in connection therewith and defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Beneficiary with respect thereto. 8.15 Financial Statements. Trustor shall keep adequate books and records of account of the Trust Estate and its own financial affairs sufficient to permit the preparation of financial statements therefrom in accordance with the requirements of the Loan Agreement. Beneficiary shall have the right to examine, copy and audit Trustor's records and books of account at all reasonable times. Trustor shall furnish to Beneficiary copies of its financial statements and other financial information satisfactory to Beneficiary at the time and in the manner provided in the Loan Agreement. 8.16 Inspections. Beneficiary, and its agents, representatives and employees, are authorized, but not obligated, to enter at any reasonable time upon the Real Property for the purpose of inspecting the same, and for the purpose of performing any of the acts it or Trustor is authorized to perform under the terms of this Trust Deed or any other Loan Document. 8.17 No Merger. If the Trust Estate is under any lease or any portion thereof which constitutes a part of the Trust Estate shall at any time become vested in one owner, this Trust Deed and the lien created hereby shall not be destroyed or terminated by application of the doctrine of merger and, in such event, Beneficiary shall continue to have and enjoy all of the rights and privileges of Beneficiary as to the separate estates. In addition, upon the foreclosure of the lien created by this Trust Deed on the Trust Estate pursuant to the provisions of this Trust Deed, any leases or subleases then existing and created by Trustor shall not be destroyed or terminated by application of the law of merger or as a matter of law or as a result of such foreclosure unless Beneficiary or any purchaser at any such foreclosure sale shall so elect. No act by or on behalf of Beneficiary or any such purchaser shall constitute a termination of any lease or sublease unless Beneficiary or such purchaser shall give written notice thereof to such tenant or subtenant. ARTICLE 9 CONDEMNATION AWARDS If the Trust Estate or any portion thereof should be taken or damaged by reason of any public improvement or condemnation proceeding, Beneficiary shall be entitled to all compensation, awards, and other payments or relief therefor, and shall be entitled at Beneficiary's option to commence, appear in, and prosecute in Beneficiary's own name any action or proceeding, and to make any compromise or settlement, in connection with such taking. Trustor shall promptly give notice to Beneficiary of any condemnation proceeding or any taking for public improvement. All such compensation, awards, damages, causes of action, proceeds, or other payments are hereby assigned to Beneficiary, which may, after deducting therefrom all costs and expenses (regardless of the particular nature thereof and whether incurred with or without suit or before or after judgment), including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by Beneficiary in connection with such compensation, awards, damages, rights of action, proceeds, or other payments, release any and all moneys so received by Beneficiary or apply the same, or any portion thereof, on any of the Obligations (whether or not then due) secured by this Trust Deed. Beneficiary shall have no obligation to apply proceeds of condemnation to restore or repair damage to the Trust Estate regardless of whether such taking has a significant adverse impact on the operation of the remaining portion of the Trust Estate. Trustor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary such further assignments of such compensation, awards, damages, causes of action, proceeds, or other payments as Beneficiary may from time to time require. ARTICLE 10 ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES, RENTS AND INCOME 10.1 Assignment. Trustor hereby absolutely assigns to Trustee all right, title and interest of Trustor in and to all leases now existing or hereafter entered into by Trustor and demising the whole or any part of the Trust Estate, and does hereby further assign any and all rents, subrents, and other amounts received for the use of any portion of the Trust Estate, including the Improvements, and all proceeds from such rents, covering the Trust Estate or any portion thereof, now or hereafter existing or entered into, together with issues, royalties, income, profits and security deposits of and from the Trust Estate. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Trustor may, under a temporary revocable license granted hereby, collect and use all such rents, subrents, issues, royalties, income, and profits which become payable prior to default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Trustor's license to collect and use any of such proceeds shall immediately cease without further action by or on behalf of any party, and Beneficiary shall have the right, with or without taking possession of the Trust Estate, and either in person, by agent, or through a court-appointed receiver (Trustor hereby consents to the appointment of Beneficiary or Beneficiary's designee as such receiver), to sue for or otherwise collect all such rents, subrents, issues, royalties, income, and profits, including those past due and unpaid. Any sums so collected, after the deduction of all costs and expenses of operation and collection (regardless of the particular nature thereof and whether incurred with or without suit or before or after judgment), including reasonable attorney fees, shall be applied toward the payment of the Obligations. Such right of collection and use of such proceeds by Beneficiary shall obtain both before and after the exercise of the power of sale provisions of this Trust Deed, the foreclosure of this Trust Deed and throughout any period of redemption. The rights granted under this Section 10.1 shall in no way be dependent upon and shall apply without regard to whether all or a portion of the Trust Estate is in danger of being lost, removed, or materially injured, or whether the Trust Estate or any other security is adequate to discharge the obligations secured by this Trust Deed. Beneficiary's failure or discontinuance at any time to collect any of such proceeds shall not in any manner affect the right, power, and authority of Beneficiary thereafter to collect the same. Neither any provision contained herein, nor the Beneficiary's exercise of Beneficiary's right to collect such proceeds, shall be, or be construed to be, an affirmation by Beneficiary of any tenancy, lease, sublease, option, or other interest in the Trust Estate, or an assumption of liability under, or a subordination of the lien or charge of this Trust Deed to, any tenancy, lease, sublease, option, or other interest in the Trust Estate. All tenants, lessees, sublessees and other persons which have any obligation to make any payment to Trustor in connection with the Trust Estate or any portion thereof are hereby authorized and directed to pay the rents, subrents, issues, royalties, income, and profits payable by them with respect to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, directly to Beneficiary on the demand of Beneficiary. Beneficiary's receipt of such rents, subrents, issues, royalties, income, and profits shall be a good and sufficient discharge of the obligation of the tenant, lessee, sublessee, or other person concerned to make the payment connected with the amount so received by the Trustee. 10.2 Application of Payments. If at any time during the term of this Trust Deed Beneficiary receives or obtains a payment, installment, or sum which is less than the entire amount then due under the Note secured by this Trust Deed and under all other instruments further evidencing or securing the Obligations, then Beneficiary shall, except as provided otherwise in the Note and notwithstanding any instructions which may be given by Trustor, have the right to apply such payment, installment, or sum, or any part thereof, to such of the items or obligations then due from Trustor or to Beneficiary as Beneficiary may in Beneficiary's sole discretion determine. 10.3 No Waiver of Rights by Collection of Proceeds. The entering upon and taking possession of the Trust Estate or any portion of the Trust Estate or the collection of rents, subrents, issues, royalties, income, profits, proceeds of fire and other insurance policies, or compensation or awards for any taking or damaging of the Trust Estate, or the application or release thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of default hereunder, shall not invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice of default, and shall not operate to postpone or suspend the obligation to make, or have the effect of altering the size of, any scheduled installments provided for in any of the Obligations secured by this Trust Deed. 10.4 Indemnification. Trustor shall indemnify, pay, protect, defend and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against all claims, demands, judgments, liabilities, actions, costs, and fees (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from or related to receipt by Beneficiary of the rents, subrents, issues, royalties, income and profit from the Trust Estate or any portion of the Trust Estate, except those liabilities arising from Beneficiary's own gross negligence and wilful misconduct. ARTICLE 11 EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 11.1 Events of Default. Fifteen (15) days after written notice from Beneficiary to Trustor for monetary defaults and thirty (30) days after written notice from Beneficiary to Trustor for non-monetary defaults, if such defaults are not cured within such fifteen (15) day or thirty (30) day periods, respectively, each of the following shall constitute an event of default under this Trust Deed (an "Event of Default"): 11.1.1 Failure to Make Payment.

In the event Beneficiary elects to sell the Trust Estate, Beneficiary may execute or cause Trustee to execute a written notice of default and of election to cause the Trust Estate to be sold to satisfy the obligations hereof, and Trustee shall file such notice for record in the office of the County Recorder of the County wherein the Trust Estate is located. Beneficiary shall also deposit with Trustee the Note and all documents evidencing expenditures secured by this Trust Deed. 11.3 Exercise of Power of Sale. After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of the notice of default, and notice of default and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, shall sell the Trust Estate on the date and at the time and place designated in the notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as Beneficiary may determine (but subject to any statutory right of Trustor to direct the order in which such property, if consisting of several known lots or parcels, shall be sold), at public auction to the highest bidder, the purchase price payable in lawful money of the United States at the time of sale. The person conducting the sale may, for any cause deemed expedient and in accordance with applicable law, postpone the sale from time to time until it shall be completed and, in every such case, notice of postponement shall be given by public declaration thereof by such person at the time and place last appointed for the sale; provided, if the sale is postponed for longer than seventy-two hours beyond the day designated in the notice of sale, notice of the time, date and place of sale shall be given in the same manner as the original notice of sale.

Trustor shall surrender possession of the Trust Estate to the purchaser immediately after the sale of the Trust Estate as provided in Section 11.3 of this Trust Deed, in the event such possession has not previously been surrendered by Trustor. 11.5 UCC Remedies.

Upon written demand from Beneficiary, Trustor shall, at Trustor's expense, assemble such fixtures, chattels, equipment, inventory, and personal property and make them available to Beneficiary at a reasonably convenient place designated by Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall have the right to enter upon any premises where the Personalty or records pertaining to the Personalty may be and take possession of the Personalty and records relating to the Personalty.

If an Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary, as a matter of right and without regard to the interest of Trustor therein, shall have the right upon notice to Trustor to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Trust Estate and Trustor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of a receiver and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until completion of the sale of the Trust Estate or the foreclosure proceeding, unless the receivership is sooner terminated. 11.8 No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to Beneficiary under this Trust Deed shall be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Trust Deed or any other Loan Document, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. 11.9 Rights upon Default. In making the Loan, Beneficiary has relied upon the rights available to Beneficiary under this Trust Deed upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, including, but not limited to, the rights to accelerate the payment of any and all amounts secured by this Trust Deed, to sell the Property encumbered by this Trust Deed pursuant to the power of sale granted hereunder, the right to foreclose this Trust Deed as a mortgage, and the right to have a receiver appointed.

This Assignment shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns as security for the payment of the principal and interest provided to be paid in or by the Note, the performance of the agreements of Borrower contained in the Loan Agreement, and the performance of the agreements of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents and any other document evidencing, securing, or relating to the disbursal or administration of the proceeds of the Note (all of which agreements and obligations are collectively referred to as the "Obligation"). 2. Default Remedies of Lender. If Borrower defaults, past any applicable cure or grace period, on the Obligation, or this Assignment or if an Event of Default occurs, Lender shall be authorized at its option to enter and take possession of all or part of the Property, to perform all acts reasonably necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Property, and to perform the obligations of Borrower under the Lease in the same manner and to the same extent that Borrower might reasonably so act. Lender shall further be authorized to replace Borrower as lessee under the Lease upon foreclosure of Borrower's interest therein. 3. Termination of Assignment. When Borrower pays Lender for the full amount of the Obligation and such payment is evidenced by a recorded satisfaction or release of the Trust Deed, this Assignment shall no longer be in effect and shall be void. Lender shall execute such instruments as may be reasonably required to evidence the termination of this Assignment. 4. Notice to Ground Lessor of Borrower's Default. Borrower shall irrevocably authorize Ground Lessor, upon demand and notice from Lender of Borrower's default, past any applicable cure or grace period, under the Loan Documents, to accept from Lender performance of Borrower's obligations under the Lease. In such situation, Lender shall not be liable to Ground Lessor for the determination of the actual existence of any default, past any applicable cure or grace period, claimed by Lender. Ground Lessor shall have the right to rely upon any such notices from Lender, without any obligation or right to inquire as to the actual existence of the default, notwithstanding any claim of Borrower to the contrary.

This Assignment shall not impose liability upon Lender for the operation and maintenance of the premises or for carrying out the Lease terms before Lender has entered and taken possession of the premises. Any loss or liability incurred by Lender by reason of actual entry and taking possession under the Lease or in the defense of any claims shall, at Lender's request, be reimbursed by Borrower. Such reimbursement shall include interest at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum above Lender's Base Rate (as defined in the Note), costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees. 7.

No Merger.

In addition, upon the foreclosure of the lien created by this Assignment on the Property pursuant to the provisions of this Assignment, any leases or subleases then existing and created by Borrower shall not be destroyed or terminated by application of the law of merger or as a matter of law or as a result of such foreclosure unless Lender or any purchaser at any such foreclosure sale shall so elect. No act by or on behalf of Lender or any such purchaser shall constitute a termination of any lease or sublease unless Lender or such purchaser shall give written notice thereof to such tenant or subtenant. 9. Delivery of Necessary Instruments to Lender. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender and hereby irrevocably appoints Lender, its successors, and assigns from and after an Event of Default, as its attorney in fact to execute and deliver during the term of this Assignment, all further instruments as Lender may deem necessary to make this Assignment and any further assignment effective. The power hereby granted is coupled with an interest in the Property and is irrevocable. 10. Lease Guaranties; Assignment of Lease; Alterations of Premises. Borrower shall not materially alter, modify, cancel or terminate any guaranties of the Lease without the written consent of Lender.

Borrower shall not permit a material alteration of or addition to the Property without Lender's prior written consent. 11. Borrower to Ensure Continued Performance under Lease. Borrower shall perform all of its material covenants as lessee under the Lease, including the obligation to pay rent to Ground Lessor. Lender shall promptly deliver to Borrower copies of all notices of default Borrower has received or may hereafter receive from Ground Lessor. 12. Changes in Obligation Terms. Notwithstanding any variation of the terms of the Loan Documents, including increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or in the rate of interest payable thereunder or any extension of time for payment thereunder or any release of part or parts of the real property subject to the Trust Deed, the Lease and the benefits hereby assigned shall continue as additional security in accordance with the terms of this Assignment. 13. Additions to and Replacement of Obligation. Lender may take security in addition to the security already given Lender for the payment of the principal and interest provided to be paid in or by the Loan Documents or release such other security, and may release any party primarily or secondarily liable on the Loan Documents, may grant or make extensions, renewals, modifications, or indulgences with respect to the Loan Documents and replacements thereof, which replacement of the Loan Documents may be on the same or on terms different from the present terms of the Loan Documents, and may apply any other security thereof held by it to the satisfaction of the Obligation, without prejudice to any of its rights hereunder. 14. Exercise of Lender's Rights. Lender's failure to avail itself of any of its rights under this Assignment for any period of time, or at any time or times, shall not constitute a waiver thereof. Lender's rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and not in lieu of, but in addition to, any other rights and remedies Lender has under the Obligation and Trust Deed. Lender's rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised as often as Lender deems expedient. 15. Amendment, Modification, or Cancellation of Assignment.

D. There have been and/or may be other lease agreements entered into by Assignor and tenants of the Project, from time to time, all subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. E. Assignee desires and Assignor agrees to further secure the Note and the Loan Agreement with an assignment of the leases, including, without limitation, the Parametric Lease, Westin Hotel Lease, Sanmina Lease, DJH Engineering Lease and Western Systems Lease. AGREEMENT In exchange for good and valuable consideration the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, Assignor and Assignee agree as follows: 1. Assignment. Assignor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers unto Assignee all right, title, and interest of Assignor in and to all leases of the Project or any portion of the Project, now existing or hereafter created, including, without limitation, the Parametric Lease, the Westin Hotel Lease, the Sanmina Lease, the DJH Engineering Lease, and the Western Systems Lease, together with all amounts received for the use of any portion of the Project, and all proceeds from such leases, covering the Project or any portion of the Project, now or hereafter existing or entered into, together with all right, title and interest of Assignor in and to all other leases or subleases covering the Project or any portion of the Project, now or hereafter existing or entered into, together with all security deposits made by the lessees thereunder (the "Lessee" or "Lessees") and together with all extensions, renewals, modifications or replacements thereof, as well as all guaranties of Lessee's obligations under any provisions thereof and under any and all extensions and renewals thereof (collectively the "Lease"). 2. License to Collect. This Assignment shall inure to the benefit of Assignee, and its successors and assigns, for the payment of the principal and interest provided to be paid in or by the Note, the performance of the agreements of Assignor contained in the Loan Agreement and the Trust Deed, and the performance of the agreements of Assignor contained in the Loan Documents and any other document evidencing, securing, or relating to the disbursal or administration of the proceeds of the Note (all of which agreements and obligations are collectively referred to as the "Obligation"), reserving to Assignor, however, a revocable, temporary right and license to collect and apply, except as hereinafter provided, the rents, income, and profits accruing by virtue of the Lease as they respectively become due (the "License"), but not more than one month in advance, and to enforce the agreements of the Lease, as long as Assignor does not default beyond any applicable grace or cure period under the Obligation, or this Assignment. 3. Assignee as Creditor of Lessee. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Assignee, and not Assignor, shall be the creditor of each Lessee in respect of assignments for the benefit of creditors and bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, dissolution, or receivership proceedings affecting such Lessee. Assignee, however, shall not be the party obligated to make timely filings of claims in such proceedings or to otherwise pursue creditor's rights therein. Assignee shall have the option to apply any monies received by it as such creditor towards the reduction of the principal or interest of the Obligation. 4. Default Remedies of Assignee. If Assignor defaults beyond any applicable grace or cure period on the Obligation or this Assignment, and until such default shall have been fully cured, the License of Assignor to collect and apply rents, income, and profits shall cease and terminate. Assignee would thereby be authorized at its option to enter and take possession of all or part of the Project, and to perform all acts necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Project in the same manner and to the same extent that Assignor might reasonably so act. In furtherance thereof, Assignee shall be authorized, but shall be under no obligation (unless Assignee has taken possession or control of the Project or any portion thereof or succeeded to Assignor's interest in the Project), to collect the rents, income, and profits arising from the Lease, and to enforce performance of any other terms of the Lease including, but not limited to, Assignor's rights to fix or modify rents, sue for possession of the Project, or any part thereof, relet all or part of the Project, and collect all rents, income, and profits under such new lease. Assignee shall, after payment of all proper costs, charges, and any damages, apply the net amount of income to the sums then due to Assignee under the Obligation as set forth in the Loan Agreement. Assignee shall have sole discretion as to the manner in which such net income is applied to the amounts outstanding under the Note, and the items that shall be credited thereby. 5. Termination of Assignment. When Assignor pays Assignee for the full amount of the Obligation and such payment is evidenced by a recorded satisfaction or release of the Trust Deed, this Assignment shall no longer be in effect and shall be void. 6. Notice to Lessees of Assignor's Default. Assignor shall irrevocably authorize each Lessee, upon demand and notice from Assignee of Assignor's default beyond any applicable grace or cure period under the Obligation, to pay all rents, income, and profits under the Lease to Assignee. In such situation, Assignee shall not be liable to Lessee for the determination of the actual existence of any default claimed by Assignee. Lessees shall have the right to rely upon any such notices of Assignee that Lessees shall pay all rents, income, and profits to Assignee, without any obligation or right to inquire as to the actual existence of the default, notwithstanding any claim of Assignor to the contrary and shall have assurance that payment to Assignee shall satisfy that particular payment obligation under the Lease. Assignor shall have no claim against Lessees for any rents paid by Lessees to Assignee. Upon the curing of all defaults caused by Assignor under the Obligation, Trust Deed, or Assignment, Assignee shall give Lessees written notice of such cure, and thereafter, until further notice from Assignee, Lessees shall pay the rents, income, and profits to Assignor. 7. Assignment of Assignor's Interest in Lease. Assignee shall have the right to assign Assignor's right, title, and interest in the Lease to any subsequent holder of the Trust Deed and to any person acquiring title to the Project through foreclosure or otherwise. After Assignor shall have been barred and foreclosed of all right, title, interest, and equity of redemption in the Project, no assignee of Assignor's interest in the Lease shall be liable to account to Assignor for the rents, income and profits thereafter accruing. 8. Indemnification of Assignee. Assignor shall pay, protect, defend, indemnify and hold Assignee harmless of and from any and all liability, loss, or damage that Assignee may incur under the Lease or by reason of this Assignment other than such liability, loss, or damage as may be occasioned by Assignee's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such indemnification shall also cover any and all claims that may be asserted against Assignee by reason of any alleged obligation to be performed by Assignee under the Lease or Assignment. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to bind Assignee to the performance of any Lease provisions, or to otherwise impose any liability upon Assignee including, without limitation, any liability under the Lease's covenant of quiet enjoyment in the event that any Lessee shall have been joined as party defendant in any action to foreclose the Trust Deed and shall have been barred thereby of all right, title, interest, and equity of redemption in the premises. This Assignment shall not impose liability upon Assignee for the operation and maintenance of the premises or for carrying out the Lease terms before Assignee has entered and taken possession of the Project. Any loss or liability incurred by Assignee in the defense of any claims shall, at Assignee's request, be reimbursed by Assignor. Such reimbursement shall include interest at the default rate set forth in the Note, all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees. Assignee may, upon entry and taking of possession, collect the rents, income, and profits, and apply them toward reimbursement for the loss or liability. 9. Quality of Assignor's Title to Lease. Assignor represents itself to be the absolute owner of the lessor's interest in and to the Lease, with absolute right and title to assign it and the rents, income, and profits due or to become due thereunder; that the Lease is valid, in full force and effect, and has not been modified or amended except as stated herein; that there is no outstanding assignment or pledge thereof or of the rents, income, and profits due or to become due thereunder; that there are no existing defaults under the provisions thereof on the part of any party; that Lessees have no defense, setoff or counterclaim against Assignor, that Lessees are in possession and paying rent and other charges under the Lease as provided therein; and that no rents, income, and profits payable thereunder have been or will hereafter be anticipated, discounted, released, waived, compromised, or otherwise discharged except as may be expressly permitted by the Lease. Assignor covenants not to cancel, abridge, surrender, or terminate the Lease or materially change, alter, or modify it other than in the ordinary course of business, either to reduce the amount of the rents, income, and profits payable thereunder, or otherwise materially change, alter, abridge or modify the Lease, or make any subsequent assignment of the Lease, or consent to subordination of the interest of any Lessee in the Lease without the prior written consent of Assignee which consent shall not be unreasonable withheld. Any attempt at cancellation, surrender, termination, change, alteration, modification, assignment, or subordination of the Lease without the written consent of Assignee shall be null and void. 10. Delivery of Necessary Instruments to Assignee. Assignor shall execute and deliver to Assignee and hereby irrevocably appoints Assignee, its successors, and assigns, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, as its attorney in fact to execute and deliver during the term of this Assignment, all further instruments as Assignee may deem necessary to make this Assignment and any further assignment effective. The power hereby granted is coupled with an interest in the Project and is irrevocable. 11. Transfer of Title to Lessees; Cancellation of Lease. The Lease shall remain in full force and effect despite any merger of Assignor's and any Lessee's interest thereunder. In the event the Lease permits cancellation thereof on payment of consideration and the privilege of cancellation is exercised, the payments made or to be made by reason thereof are hereby assigned to Assignee to be applied, at the election of Assignee, to reduce the amount of the principal of the Obligation in the inverse order of maturity or to be held in trust by Assignee as further security without interest for the payment of the principal and interest provided to be paid by the Obligation. 12. Lease Guaranties; Assignment of Lease; Alterations of Premises. Assignor shall not alter, modify, cancel or terminate any guaranties of the Lease without the written consent of Assignee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Assignor shall not consent to any Lease assignment or subletting, nor agree to a subordination of the Lease to any mortgage or other encumbrance, other than that of Assignee, now or hereafter affecting the Project without Assignee's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Assignor shall not permit a material alteration of or addition to the Project by any Lessee without Assignee's prior written consent unless the right to alter or enlarge is expressly reserved by such Lessee in the Lease. 13. Assignor to Ensure Continued Performance under Lease. Assignor shall not execute any other assignment of the Lease, of any interest therein, or of any rents payable thereunder. Assignor shall perform in all material respects all of its covenants as Lessor under the Lease, and shall not permit to occur any release of liability of any Lessee, or any withholding of rent payments by any Lessee. Assignee shall promptly receive from Assignor copies of all notices of default Assignor has sent any Lessee. Assignor shall, at Assignee's request, enforce the Lease and all remedies available to Assignor thereunder upon any Lessee's default thereunder. 14. Changes in Obligation Terms. Notwithstanding any variation of the terms of the Obligation and/or the Trust Deed including increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or in the rate of interest payable thereunder or any extension of time for payment thereunder or any release of part or parts of the real property subject to the Trust Deed, the Lease and the benefits hereby assigned shall continue as additional security in accordance with the terms of this Assignment. 15. Additions to and Replacement of Obligation. Assignee may take security in addition to the security already given Assignee for the payment of the principal and interest provided to be paid in or by the Obligation or by the Trust Deed or release such other security, and may release any party primarily or secondarily liable on the Obligation, may grant or make extensions, renewals, modifications, or indulgences with respect to the Obligation or Trust Deed and replacements thereof, which replacement of the Obligation or Trust Deed may be on the same or on terms different from the present terms of the Obligation or Trust Deed, and may apply any other security thereof held by it to the satisfaction of the Obligation, without prejudice to any of its rights hereunder. 16. Future and Additional Leases. This Assignment shall apply and be effective with respect to any and all leases with respect to the Project entered into by Assignor and any lessee which may cover or affect any portion of the Project, which lease(s) may be entered into at any time during the period the Obligation remains outstanding and secured by the Trust Deed, regardless of whether such lease(s) is/are in effect on the date this Assignment is executed. Upon the written request of Assignee, Assignor shall give Assignee prompt notice and provide Assignee with a copy of any lease covering any portion of the Project it enters into, if the lease is not listed in this Assignment or is not in effect on the date of this Assignment. Upon notice from Assignee to that effect, such lease shall be deemed included in this Assignment as though originally listed therein, and shall be subject to this Assignment in all respects. 17. Exercise of Assignee's Rights. Assignee's failure to avail itself of any of its rights under this Assignment for any period of time, or at any time or times, shall not constitute a waiver thereof. Assignee's rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and not in lieu of, but in addition to, any other rights and remedies Assignee has under the Obligation and Trust Deed. Assignee's rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised as often as Assignee deems expedient. 18. Amendment, Modification, or Cancellation of Assignment. No amendment, modification, cancellation, or discharge hereof, or of any part hereof, shall be enforceable without Assignee's prior written consent. 19. Notices.

NOTARY PUBLIC My Commission Expires: Residing At: EXHIBIT A REAL PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The real property located in Salt Lake County, State of Utah, and more particularly described as follows: [SEE ATTACHED EXHIBIT A] EX-10.6 7 COMMERCIAL CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT - FSB Commercial Credit and Security Agreement THIS COMMERCIAL CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of the 2nd of March, 1998, is entered between Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation (the "Borrower") and First Security Bank, N.A. ("Lender"). Borrower has requested Lender to extend credit to Borrower for certain purposes, and Lender is willing to make such a loan (hereinafter the "Loan") on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Therefore, the parties agree as follows: SECTION 1. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE LOAN. 1.1 The maximum principal amount of the Loan shall be Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). 1.2 The Loan shall consist of two separate facilities: (a) A Standby Letter of Credit Commitment ("L/C Line"), which may be used up to a maximum amount of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00). So long as any amounts remain unutilized under this L/C Line, or if any letter of credit issued under the L/C Line expires undrawn, Borrower may have issued and reissued letters of credit up to and the maximum amount listed above so long as no default exists under this Agreement. Each letter of credit issued under the L/C Line shall be charged a fee of 0.75% of the amount of the letter of credit issued, plus the standard per item charges assessed by First Security. (b) A Foreign Exchange Line of Credit (FX Line). From time to time from the date hereof through and including the Termination Date, and upon request of Borrower Lender will enter into Foreign Exchange Contracts with Borrower of up to the maximum aggregate amount, at any time subject to outstanding contracts (not yet settled), that will not cause the FX Line amount outstanding to exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), provided that there is sufficient availability under the FX Line. 1.3 The Loan shall be evidenced by, or consist of the following: (a) In the case of the L/C Line, for each letter of credit issued, an Application, Agreement and Note for Standby Documentary Credit which obligates Borrower to repay the Loan upon Demand should any draw be made on a letter of credit (collectively the "Note"). The Loan shall be repaid to Lender and shall accrue interest as set forth in the Note. In particular, should an event of default occur under this Agreement, which may include, but not be limited to, failure to repay any draw upon a letter of credit upon Lender's demand, or the occurrence of any event of default as outlined in Section 5.1 of this Agreement, Borrower shall then be assessed a default rate of interest which shall be equal to Lender's Prime Rate of interest plus two percentage points. Notwithstanding any contradiction which may exist in the Note, the rate herein stated to be assessed upon the occurrence of an event of default of Borrower shall take precedence. 1 (b) With respect to the FX Line, the Foreign Exchange Contract which will be offered by Lender to Borrower shall be to fix, at the date that it enters into purchase contracts with various foreign suppliers, the dollar cost of various foreign currencies. Except as otherwise provided, the Foreign Exchange Contracts which will be offered by Lender shall be either spot or forward contracts. The terms of such spot and forward contracts shall be the standard spot or forward contact format then generally offered by Lender to its customers, subject to the rights of Lender and Borrower to then negotiate special terms and also to provide for the length of the forward contracts. (Lender initially intends not to enter into Foreign Exchange Contracts having terms longer than 12 months). Lender reserves the right to require, in connection with such forward contracts or any other variety of Foreign Exchange Contract between Lender and Borrower, that delivery of foreign currencies to the party specified by Borrower, shall be conditioned upon prior deposit of the dollar purchase price of said foreign currencies with Lender immediately before the time that Lender must wire or otherwise give instruction for foreign currency delivery. The submission of a request for a Foreign Exchange Contract shall also be deemed to constitute a reaffirmation of the representations and warranties which are set forth hereunder. The availability of all Foreign Exchange Contracts will be subject to the condition of payment by Borrower of the fees, charges and contract amounts which are required as a condition precedent by Lender for such contracts, provided that Lender agrees that such fees charges and contract amounts shall be reasonably related to such fees generally charged by Lender or charged by other offerors of such contracts. The obligations of Lender hereunder, are specifically conditioned upon the Lender having normal access to foreign exchange markets and to facilities for the purchase of foreign currencies for its own account and the account of other customers. 1.4 Each facility shall be stated to mature on May 15, 1999. 1.5 All payments shall be made to Lender at the address specified in this Agreement in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments received by Lender shall be applied as follows: first, toward the satisfaction of commitment fees, origination fees, attorneys' fees and costs incidental thereto and to advances made and costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agent to enforce Borrower's Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documentation; second, toward the reduction of any and all accrued and unpaid interest, including uncollected late charges; third, toward the reduction of unpaid principal; and fourth, to prepayment of Obligations which may arise from any outstanding letters of credit. 1.6 To the extent of available credit under the L/C Facility, Lender hereby agrees to issue letters of credit for the account of Borrower payable to parties other than Borrower or its affiliates, upon such terms relating to draws and other matters as are consented to in writing by Lender. The amount of all letters of credit issued for the account of Borrower, shall be deemed to be an advance under the Loan, whether or not a draw on a letter of credit has been made. Such letters of credit shall be issued only upon proper application therefore, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, including provisions for reimbursement of any draws on issued letters of credit. No letter of 2 credit shall be issued which has a termination date later than one year beyond the maturity date of the Loan. Borrower shall pay all normally charged application, origination and letter of credit fees with respect to each letter of credit, in addition to the fees and interest charges otherwise provided under this Agreement and the other Loan Documentation. Each application for a letter of credit shall be deemed to be a reaffirmation of all warranties and representations made in this Agreement and the other Loan Documentation including without limitation a warranty and representation that no event of default has occurred. Any acceleration of the Loan upon the occurrence of an event of default shall be treated at Lender's option as a draw of the entire amount of all outstanding letters of credit so as to impose an immediate and present obligation to pay over to Lender sums equal to all such amounts. Thereafter, if any outstanding letter should expire undrawn, Lender agrees, to the extent of actual prior payment not previously paid out pursuant hereto, to pay the same over the Borrower. 1.7 In addition to this Agreement, the Notes and any applicable Foreign Exchange Contracts, references to "Loan Documentation" shall include all instruments, trust deeds, mortgages, other assignments, other security agreements, other pledge agreements, lien instruments, guaranties, subordinations, financing statements, notices, lien waivers, certificates (including hazardous waste certificates and indemnities), certificates of title, applications for certificates of title, environmental indemnities, and all other documents set forth in or as otherwise required by Lender as a condition to or in connection with the Loan, whether now or hereafter executed. 1.8 Any of the following persons is authorized to make a written or oral request to Lender to advance funds under this Agreement: Mark McBride, John Lamley, and Grant Schultz. Lender is under no obligation to verify the identify of an individual representing to be one of the foregoing persons. Any advance made pursuant to said written or oral request is irrebuttably presumed to be made for Borrower's benefit. Lender shall make disbursements on the Loan to Borrower or for the account of Borrower unless Borrower directs otherwise in writing. 1.9 The obligations, indebtedness, covenants and liabilities of Borrower, set forth or contemplated in the Loan Documentation shall be referred to as the "Obligations," including without limitation any indebtedness resulting from any overdraft on any account with Lender (provided that nothing herein shall be a commitment by Lender to honor overdrafts). 1.10Any and all fees, costs and expenses, of whatever kind or nature, including but not limited to attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in connection with this Agreement (whether or not a letter of credit is issued for the Borrower or a Foreign Exchange Contract is written) shall be borne and paid by Borrower on demand by Lender and until so paid constitute part of the Obligations of Borrower and shall accrue interest at the Note rate or, if applicable at the default rate. 3 SECTION 2.

SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS. 6.1 Time is of the essence of this Agreement. No issuance of a letter of credit or a Foreign Exchange Contract under the Loan shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions to Lender's obligation to make further advances, nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any failure on Lender's part to immediately enforce its remedies have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such inability to be an event of default under this Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Loan Documentation shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The consent or approval by Lender to or of any act by Borrower requiring further consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the consent or approval to or of any subsequent act. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 6.2 Borrower shall pay all attorneys' fees, paralegal fees, costs, including without limitation costs and expenses incurred by Lender in the enforcement of its rights hereunder and the other Loan Documentation, whether any default is ultimately cured or Lender is obligated to pursue its remedies hereunder, including such expenses incurred before legal action, during the pendency of any such legal action, during the enforcement of Lender's rights in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, and continuing to all such expenses in connection with any appeal to higher courts arising out of matters associated herewith. Until so paid, all such fees, costs, and expenses shall constitute part of the obligations of Borrower and shall accrue interest at the default rate. 6.3 Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender, its directors, officers and employees from any and all liability, expense, costs, charges or assessments, including attorneys' fees and expenses, whether incurred or imposed pursuant to local, state or federal law. Borrower also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender, its directors, officers and employees from and against any and all liability, expense, damage, demands, claims and lawsuits, including attorneys' fees and expenses, arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documentation or in connection therewith, unless arising from Lender's willful misconduct. 6.4 In addition to this Agreement and the other Loan Documentation, this finance transaction may include closing documentation such as resolutions, waivers, notices, acknowledgments, statements, closing or escrow instructions, loan purpose statements, and other documents that Lender may customarily use in closing such transactions. Such additional documents are incorporated herein by this reference. The Loan Documentation and the closing documents to which this Section refers, as applicable, express, embody and supersede any previous 9 understandings, agreements or promises (whether oral or written) with respect to this finance transaction, and said documents represent the final expression of the agreement between Lender and Borrower, the terms and conditions of which cannot hereafter be contradicted by any oral understanding not reduced to writing and identified above. This Section shall govern in the event it is inconsistent with any similar provision in any other Loan Documentation. 6.5 Any notice required by any Loan Documentation will be deemed effective if personally delivered to the party to which notice is being given, or, in the alternative, on the date such notice is placed, first-class mail, in the U.S. Mail addressed to the party to which notice is being given, at such address as is set forth below. In the event another agreement constituting part of the Loan Documentation sets forth a notice procedure, such procedure shall govern for purposes of that document and thus supersede the terms of this Section if inconsistent. 6.6 All representations and warranties made in this Agreement and the Note and in any certificates delivered pursuant hereto and thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loan hereunder and shall survive payment of the Loan. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer its right hereunder without the written consent of Lender. It is understood that Lender may sell the Loan and its interests under the Loan Documentation without the need for Borrower's consent and may procure other Lenders to participate in the Loan, and Lender may issue participation certificates to such other Lenders. 6.7 Borrower agrees to execute any other documentation and provide such other information and documentation as Lender may reasonably require. Any provision of this Agreement or any other constituents of the Loan Documentation, which may be found to be invalid, shall be deemed separable and shall not invalidate the remainder of the provisions. No third party shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary under the Loan Documentation or any condition set forth therein. Nothing in the Loan Documentation shall create a partnership or joint venture between Lender and Borrower. 6.8 This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and the other Loan Documentation shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Utah. If Borrower is not a resident of the State of Utah, Borrower hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Utah to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documentation. 6.9 The obligations of Borrower (if there is more than one Borrower) under the Loan Documentation, including warranties and representations, shall be joint and several. 10 DATED this 9th day of March, 1998.
