10. The curve \(C\) satisfies the equation
$$x \mathrm { e } ^ { 5 - 2 y } - y = 0 \quad x > 0 , \quad y > 0$$
The point \(P\) with coordinates ( \(2 \mathrm { e } ^ { - 1 } , 2\) ) lies on \(C\).
The tangent to \(C\) at \(P\) cuts the \(x\)-axis at the point \(A\) and cuts the \(y\)-axis at the point \(B\).
Given that \(O\) is the origin, find the exact area of triangle \(O A B\), giving your answer in its simplest form.
