"I before E except after C" is a rule we learn pretty early. But there are exceptions to that rule. Can you identify the ones clued below?

-1. Said over and over
-2. Great-great-grandmother's china, e.g.
-3. The altitude of the lowest layer of clouds
-4. A small rich cake, baked in a shell-shaped mold
-5. Ancient city southeast of Naples
-6. The 7 in the term 7x
-7. Walking in a manner that makes the least noise
-8. A tube-shaped optical instrument that is rotated to produce a succession of symmetrical designs
-9. A little, perennial, white, wooly plant that grows in Alpine regions
-10. Having all knowledge
