MODIFICATION OF CONSTRUCTION TRUST DEED

THIS MODIFICATION OF CONSTRUCTION TRUST DEED IS DATED AS OF JUNE 28, 2004, between DICON FIBEROPTICS, INC., a California corporation, whose address is 1689 Regatta Blvd., Richmond, CA 94804 (referred to below as “Trustor”) and CATHAY BANK, a California banking corporation, whose address is 777 North Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90012 (referred to below as “Lender”). The purpose of this Modification is to reflect the extension of the term of the loan secured by the Deed of Trust and an agreement between Trustor and Lender with respect to the conditions under which Lender will release and reconvey parcels of the Real Property.

Deed of Trust. Trustor and Lender entered into a Construction Trust Deed dated August 24, 2000, and recorded in the records of the County of Contra Costa, California on August 25, 2000 as Document Number 2000-0182834-00, as modified by a Modification of Construction Trust Deed dated November 20, 2001, and recorded in the records of the County of Contra Costa, California on November 27, 2001 as Document Number 2001-0361073-00 (such Construction Trust Deed as so modified, the “Deed of Trust”), covering that certain real property located in the City of Richmond, County of Contra Costa, State of California, as more particularly described on Exhibit “A” and Exhibit “B” attached hereto (the “Real Property”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Deed of Trust.

Modifications. Trustor and Lender hereby modify and amend the Deed of Trust as follows:

1. Agreement for Partial Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Deed of Trust or in the Term Loan Agreement between Trustor and Lender dated November 20, 2001 (as such Term Loan Agreement is amended by that certain Loan Modification and Extension Agreement and Amendment to Promissory Note between the parties dated June 28 , 2004) (such Term Loan Agreement as so amended, the “Term Loan Agreement”), so long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) has occurred and is then continuing, Lender will, upon written request of Trustor and upon payment of the Release Price, grant partial reconveyance from the lien or charge of the Deed of Trust for the approximately eleven (11) acre portion of the Real Property constituting the “Purchase Property” under (and as defined in) that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement and Preliminary Escrow Instructions entered into as of February 27, 2004 between Trustor and Pulte Home Corporation (the “Pulte Agreement”). Such “Purchase Property” and the agreed upon Release Price therefor are described and set forth in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Release Price payment will be applied against the outstanding principal of the Loan and not against accrued interest on the Loan then due. The Release Price payment will be treated as a prepayment under the Note. Trustor shall pay all costs of executing and recording the partial reconveyance. Delivery of the partial reconveyance and payment of the Release Price will take place through escrow unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

2. Definition of Note. The definition of the term “Note” is modified to read in its entirety as follows: The word “Note” means the promissory note dated November 20, 2001, in the principal amount of $27,000,000.00 from Trustor to Lender, which note is an extension and renewal of the Construction Loan Promissory Note dated August 24, 2000, as such promissory note is amended and extended by that certain Loan Modification and Extension Agreement and Amendment to Promissory Note dated June 28, 2004;

1


 

together with all renewals, extensions, modifications, refinancings, and substitutions for such promissory note as so amended and extended. NOTICE TO TRUSTOR: THE PROMISSORY NOTE CONTAINS A VARIABLE INTEREST RATE.

3. Securing Clause. The “securing” clause of the Deed of Trust is modified to include the obligations of the Note and the Term Loan Agreement as defined in paragraph 1 above among the obligations secured by the Deed of Trust.

4. Continuing Validity. Except as expressly modified above, the terms of the Deed of Trust shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Consent by Lender to this Modification does not waive Lender’s right to require strict performance of the Deed of Trust as modified above nor obligate Lender to make any future modifications. Nothing herein shall constitute a satisfaction of the promissory note or loan agreement secured by the Deed of Trust.

TRUSTOR ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING READ ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS MODIFICATION OF TRUST DEED AND AGREES TO ITS TERMS. This Modification is dated as of the date first set forth above.
