7.2 This Sublease is and shall be at all times subject and subordinate to the Master Lease.

9.3 In the event that Master Lessor does give such consent then:

9.6 Such consent, and this Sublease, shall not be construed to modify, waive or affect any of the terms or provisions of the Master Lease, regardless of any inconsistency between this Sublease and the Master Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, this Sublease and Master Lessor's consent to it do not create any obligations of Master Lessor to Sublessee or any rights of Sublessee enforceable against Master Lessor.

11. Representations and Indemnities of Broker Relationships. The Parties each represent and warrant to the other that it has had no dealings with any person, firm, broker or finder (other than the Brokers, if any) in connection with this Sublease, and that no one other than said named Brokers is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in connection herewith. Sublessee and Sublessor do each hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from and against liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of the indemnifying Party, including any costs, expenses, attorneys' fees reasonably incurred with respect thereto.

12. Attorney's fees. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding involving the Premises whether founded in tort, contract or equity, or to declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The term, "Prevailing Party" shall include, without limitation, a Party or Broker who substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by the other Party or Broker of its claim or defense. The attorneys' fees award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably incurred. In addition, Sublessor shall be entitled to attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of notices of Default and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with such Default or resulting Breach ($200 is a reasonable minimum per occurrence for such services and consultation).

13. No Prior or Other Agreements; Broker Disclaimer. This Sublease contains all agreements between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein, and no other prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding shall be effective.

14. Janitorial services (including supplies) shall be provided by Sublessor to Sublessee for a cost of $2000.00 per month, payable monthly.

15. Sublessee and Sublessor acknowledge that Sublessee may be required to move to operating space within 1515 S. Manchester during the term of the 2 year agreement contemplated by the Sublease. Sublessor and Sublessee agree to cooperate with such move to achieve minimal business disruption to FEI-Zyfer and Odetics, Inc. As of the date of this Sublease, Sublessor and Sublessee have separately agreed on the floor plan of the suitable space for the move to 1515 S. Manchester, should one occur. Sublessor agrees to provide FEI-Zyfer with the space as specified, and to provide tenant improvement, at Sublessor's expense, for adequate power, HVAC, communication, paint and floor coverings to meet normal commerically acceptable standards for the operation of FEI-Zyfer (including executive offices and engineering, manufacturing, administrative and lobby facilities comparable to that existing in the prior premises) in the 1515 S. Manchester facilities should the move be required. Furthermore, Sublessor agrees that any move will not occur prior to four months subsequent to the date the Sublease is entered into by the parties.

16. Sublessee shall be granted access to the gymnasium and cafeteria located in 1515 S. Manchester Ave., Anaheim.

17. Security Deposit: Sublessor shall return ¹/2 of the Security Deposit to Sublessee upon payment of the 12th monthly rental payments due under this Sublease, provided that Sublessee is not in default under any economic obligations under this Sublease beyond any grace or cure period and Sublessor shall return the balance of this Security Deposit to the Sublessee upon receipt of the 24th monthly payment of this Sublease, provided that Sublessee is not in default under any economic obligations under this Sublease beyond any grace or cure period.

18. Since the Master Lease is a net lease of an entire building, the insurance requirements applicable to the tenant are inappropriate as applied to the Sublessee when these provisions are incorporated into the Sublease. Accordingly, Sublessee shall be obligated to insure the contents of it's space (i.e., it's trade fixtures, furniture, and equipment), and that the Sublessor shall be required to maintain the insurance it currently maintains. Sublessee agrees to maintain reasonable liability coverage for occurance in it's premises, and to name Master Lessor as an additional insured.

19. If Sublessee relocates to 1515 S. Manchester, then prior to such move Sublessor and Sublessee shall enter into a new Sublease with respect to such space and shall submit the Sublease to Master Lessor for its consent, which consent Master Lessor agrees to provide, so long as the new Sublease is substantially similar to this Sublease and there is no Default under the Master Lease. Should Sublessee enter into a new Sublease on 1515 S. Manchester, and if Master Lessor does not require Sublessee to attorn and such Sublease terminates, provided Sublessee is not in Default of such Sublease beyond any grace or cure period, then Sublessee shall be given ninety (90) days from the date of such termination to vacate the Premises, (but Master Lessor shall not assume Sublessor's obligations during said Sublease during said period). During the period that Sublessee occupies the premises of 1585 S. Manchester, and if Master Lessor does not require Sublessee to attorn and such Sublease terminates, provided Sublessee is not in Default of such Sublease beyond any grace or cure period, then Sublessee shall be given sixty (60) days from the date of such termination to vacate the Premises, consistant with the terms provided in the underlying Master Lease (but Master Lessor shall not assume Sublessor's obligations during said Sublease during said period).

20. The following Addendum modifies Paragraph 7.4 of this Sublease. Except that with respect to Paragraphs 30 and 42 of the Master Lease the obligations of Sublessor to the Master Lessor shall also be obligations of Sublessee to the Master Lessor.

21. Sublessee may sublet the premises with the prior consent of Sublessor and Master Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

22. In the event that all or a portion of 1585 S. Manchester Ave. Building not covered by this Sublease is occupied by someone other than Sublessee the Sublessor agrees at it's expense to modify the facility to provide adequate separation and security for the Sublessee, and the Sublessee shall be granted access to lobby, break-room, and other common areas of that building.

23. If Sublessee has not relocated to 1515 S. Manchester prior to the termination of the Master Lease on 1585 S. Manchester, then this Sublease shall expire concurrent with the expiration of the Master Lease on 1585 S. Manchester in November 2004.
