Subtenant’s sublease of the Sublease Premises is subject to the terms and conditions of the Master Lease as incorporated herein and further subject to the terms and conditions of this Sublease. | ||
3. | Condition of Sublease Premises. |
(a) | In entering into this Sublease, Subtenant acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Sublease, Subtenant has not relied upon or been induced by any statements or representations of Sublandlord or any other parties or persons with respect to the physical condition of the Sublease Premises or with respect to any other matter affecting the Sublease Premises, that might be pertinent in considering the leasing of the Sublease Premises or the execution of this Sublease. Subtenant has, on the contrary and except as expressly set forth in this Sublease, relied solely on such investigations, examinations and inspections as Subtenant has chosen to make or have made on its behalf. Upon taking possession of the Sublease Premises, Subtenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Sublease Premises in its then “as-is” “where-is” condition, except for Sublandlord’s remediation obligations set forth in Paragraph 3 of this Sublease. | ||

(c) | By taking possession of the Sublease Premises, Subtenant shall conclusively evidence that the Sublease Premises are fully completed and are suitable for Subtenant’s purposes, that the Building and the Sublease Premises are in good and satisfactory condition, and that Subtenant waives any defect therein. |

(d) | Sublandlord shall complete an Exit Assessment as described in Section 14.8 of the Master Lease and shall obtain any required regulatory certification of the Sublease Premises at least five (5) days prior to the Sublease Commencement Date, unless waived in writing by Subtenant. |
4. Base Rent.
During the Sublease Term, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord, as rent for the Sublease Premises,
the Base Rent as set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Sublease, without set-off or deduction
whatsoever, except as otherwise provided herein. Base Rent shall be due and payable by Subtenant in
immediately available funds, in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month without
notice or demand.
5. Additional Rent.
In addition to the Base Rent under Paragraph 4 above, any and all charges, expenses or
other sums Subtenant is required to pay under the terms of this Sublease, including, without
limitation, any additional rent required under the Master Lease shall be deemed additional rent
(“Additional Rent,” and together with Base Rent, “Subtenant’s Rent”) and shall be
paid by Subtenant. Sublandlord shall have the same rights and remedies with respect to payment of
Additional Rent as Sublandlord shall have with respect to the Base Rent. Subtenant shall remain
responsible for Subtenant’s Rent and any other charges, expenses or other sums which first arise,
accrue or are invoiced at any time during or after the expiration of the Sublease Term, whether by
Sublandlord or Master Landlord, to the extent they arise or accrue with respect to any period
during the Sublease Term from any liabilities or obligations of Subtenant under the provisions of
this Sublease (including any obligations under the Master Lease which are incorporated herein as
liabilities or obligations of Subtenant). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Sublease, Subtenant shall not be required to pay any Additional Rent, or to perform any
obligation that is (i) allocable to any period of time prior to the Sublease Commencement Date or
following the expiration or sooner termination of the Sublease (for any reason other than
Subtenant’s default), (ii) allocable to any portion of the Master Premises other than the Sublease
Premises, (iii) payable as a result of a default by Sublandlord of any of its obligations under the
Master Lease, or as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord or any of
its agents, employees or contractors, or (iv) are incurred for the sole and exclusive benefit of
Sublandlord.
6. Rent Payments.
(a) | Subtenant’s Rent and all other charges, expenses or other sums Subtenant is required to pay to Sublandlord hereunder shall be due and payable without billing or demand, and without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, except as otherwise provided herein, in lawful money of the United States of America, at Sublandlord’s address for notices in Paragraph 15 hereof or to such other person or at such other place as Sublandlord may designate in writing, and shall be due and payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord on or before the date specified in this Sublease, provided that if no date is specified as to the applicable payment, then on or before (i) three (3) business days prior to the corresponding date |
4
provided in the Master Lease for payment of the same by Sublandlord to Master Landlord (provided that in no event shall such period be shortened to a duration of less than two (2) business days) or (ii) if there is no corresponding date provided in the Master Lease for payment of the same by Sublandlord to Master Landlord, then ten (10) business days after written request from Sublandlord to Subtenant. The failure of Subtenant to make payment in full of Subtenant’s Rent or any other charges, expenses or other sums Subtenant is required to pay to Sublandlord hereunder by the due date provided herein for such payment, shall potentially subject Subtenant to the obligation to pay to Sublandlord interest in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 18. | |||
(b) | If the Sublease Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then Subtenant’s Rent for the first and last fractional months of the Sublease Term shall be appropriately prorated. | ||
(c) | Sublandlord may upon reasonable prior written notice (which notice shall include Master Landlord’s address and Master Landlord’s acknowledgement of such notice) instruct Subtenant to make any payment of Subtenant’s Rent directly to Master Landlord, in which event Subtenant shall timely make all such payments so instructed directly to Master Landlord (with a copy of the check to be contemporaneously forwarded by Subtenant to Sublandlord at the time of making of each such payment), and in such event Sublandlord shall have no responsibility to Subtenant for the payment of any such amount, and Subtenant shall be solely responsible for any interest or late charges that may be imposed as a result of any failure of Subtenant to have timely and properly made any such payment to Master Landlord. Any payment made directly by Subtenant to Master Landlord at the request of Sublandlord shall be credited against any of Subtenant’s Rent due under this Sublease as and when received by Master Landlord. |
7. Use.
Subtenant shall use and occupy the Sublease Premises only for the purposes permitted under,
and in a manner consistent with, the provisions of the Master Lease. Subtenant will pay for any
damage to any part of the Sublease Premises, Building or Center, subject to any applicable waiver
of subrogation provisions, if (i) caused by any act or omission by Subtenant or Subtenant’s
employees, agent, licensees, contractors or invitees and (ii) Sublandlord is required to pay for
such damage under the Master Lease. Subtenant will comply with applicable provisions of the Master
Lease and the Center’s Rules and Regulations.

To the extent that the Additional Operating Costs are not for the sole benefit of the Sublease Premises and benefit or are related to the Campus and/or Center as a whole, then Subtenant’s pro rata share of the Additional Operating costs shall represent the ratio of the Rentable Square Footage of the Sublease Premises to the Rentable Square Footage of the Campus and/or the Center, as applicable; provided, however, that in no event shall Subtenant have any obligation to reimburse Sublandlord for any Additional Operating Costs that are incurred for the sole benefit of the premises located at 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx. Subtenant shall pay the amount of such pro rata share within ten (10) business days after receipt of a statement from Sublandlord along with reasonable documentary evidence of Sublandlord’s payment of such costs.

Sublandlord makes no representation or warranty as the suitability of the Utility service for Subtenant’s requirements, and no such change, failure, defect, unavailability or unsuitability shall constitute any actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Subtenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Subtenant of any of its obligations under this Sublease. Sublandlord shall not be liable in damages or otherwise for any failure or interruption of any Utility service, and no such failure or interruption shall entitle Subtenant to terminate this Sublease or xxxxx the rent due hereunder. |

All removals by Subtenant will be accomplished in a good and workmanlike manner so as not to damage any portion of the Center, Building or the Master Lease Premises and Subtenant will promptly repair and restore all damage done except for normal wear and tear. If Subtenant does not so remove any property which it has the right or duty to remove, Sublandlord may immediately either claim it as abandoned property, or remove, store and dispose of it in any manner Sublandlord may choose, at Subtenant’s cost and without liability to Subtenant or any other party. | ||
(c) | As a condition to this Sublease and to facilitate Sublandlord’s performance of its obligations under the Master Lease, Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord shall be entitled to enter the Sublease Premises, upon two (2) business days’ advance notice to Subtenant, at any time during the ten (10) days preceding the Sublease Expiration Date for the purpose of making any repairs or modifications or removing any alterations or other improvements required under the terms of the Master Lease to the extent the same will not materially interfere with Subtenant’s continuous use of the Sublease Premises for the purposes of conducting its business therein. Sublandlord’s right to enter the Sublease Premises under this Paragraph 12(c) shall not be exclusive of any other right of entry Sublandlord may have under the terms of this Sublease. | ||
(d) | If Subtenant does not surrender the Sublease Premises as required and holds over after its right to possession ends, Subtenant shall become a tenant at sufferance only, at a monthly rental rate equal to the greater of (i) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the total Subtenant’s Rent payable in the last prior full month, or (ii) the amount payable by Sublandlord as “Tenant” under the Master Lease as a result of such holdover, without renewal, extension or expansion rights, and otherwise subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein specified, so far as applicable. Nothing other than a fully executed written agreement of the Parties creates any other relationship. Subtenant will be liable for Sublandlord’s loss, costs and damage from such holding over, including, without limitation, those from Sublandlord’s delay in delivering possession to other parties. These provisions are in addition to other rights of Sublandlord hereunder and as provided by law. |
13. Waiver and Indemnification.
The provisions of the Master Lease relating to waiver of liability, waiver of subrogation and
indemnification shall apply to this Sublease as incorporated by Paragraph 10 hereof.

(b) | To the extent required by law or for Subtenant’s use and occupancy of the Building and Sublease Premises, Sublandlord shall cause, at its sole cost and expense, any and all such Hazardous Materials discovered in, on or about the Building or Sublease Premises to be removed or otherwise remediated. |

16. Security Deposit.
Within one business day of the Effective Date, Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord with a
letter of credit for the full initial amount of the Security Deposit listed in Paragraph 1(a)
(the “Letter of Credit”). Such Letter of Credit shall be in a form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord (with the form attached hereto as Exhibit “D” deemed
acceptable). The Letter of Credit shall have an original term of no less than one year with
provisions for extensions unless sixty (60) days prior notice is given to Sublandlord by the
issuing bank Subtenant shall keep the Letter of Credit in force throughout the Term and for sixty
days after (i) the Sublease Expiration Date of the Term or (ii) the earlier termination of the
Term, except that if such earlier termination is based on Subtenant’s default, Subtenant shall keep
the Letter of Credit in force until sixty days after the date when the Term would have expired had
it not been earlier terminated. Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a renewal Letter of Credit
no later than thirty days prior to the expiration date of any Letter of Credit issued under this
Paragraph 16, and if Subtenant fails to do so, Sublandlord may draw the entire amount of
the expiring Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds in cash for the same purposes as the Letter of
Credit. The Letter of Credit shall be issued by Silicon Valley Bank (or other bank satisfactory to
and approved in advance by Sublandlord). The Letter of Credit shall be reduced to $300,000 on
July 1, 2008. On the third anniversary of the Sublease Commencement Date and thereafter on each
anniversary thereof, the principal amount of the Letter of Credit shall be reduced by $50,000;
provided, however, that Parent’s unrestricted cash and marketable securities on hand are greater
than the amount of cash used in operations for the prior 6 months), as reflected in Halozyme
Therapeutics, Inc.’s most recently filed 10-Q or 10-K.

17. Assignment and Subletting.
Subject to the prior written consent of both Sublandlord (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) and Master Landlord, Subtenant shall have the same rights as
Sublandlord enjoys as Tenant under such portions of Section 18 of the Master Lease as are
incorporated herein, to assign this Sublease or sub-sublease the Sublease Premises. Except in
connection with a Permitted Transfer (as defined below), Sublandlord shall have the right to fifty
percent (50%) of all subrent or other consideration (net of Subtenant’s reasonable expenses in
connection with such assignment or sub sublease, including, without limitation, brokerage
commissions, legal costs, and tenant improvement costs or allowances) to be paid to Subtenant under
the terms of any assignment or sub sublease in excess of the total Subtenant’s Rent due hereunder.

results from a merger of, reorganization of, or consolidation with Subtenant; to any entity which
acquires substantially all of the stock or assets of Subtenant, as a going concern, with respect to
the business that is being conducted in the Sublease Premises (hereinafter each a
“Permitted Transfer”). In addition, a sale or transfer of the majority capital stock of
Subtenant shall be deemed a Permitted Transfer if (1) such sale or transfer occurs in connection
with any bona fide financing or capitalization for the benefit of Subtenant, or (2) Subtenant is or
becomes a publicly traded corporation. Sublandlord shall have no right to terminate the Lease in
connection with, and shall have no right to any sums or other economic consideration resulting from
any Permitted Transfer.
18. Interest on Subtenant’s Obligations.
Any Subtenant’s Rent or other charge, expense or other sum due from Subtenant to Sublandlord

payment is due until paid (computed on the basis of a 365-day-year) at the lesser of (a) the
maximum lawful rate per annum or (b) twelve percent (12%) per annum. The payment of such interest
shall not excuse or cure a default by Subtenant hereunder.

execution and delivery has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action
and that the person(s) executing same have been duly authorized to do so.

approval, Subtenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to install signage that is

create any rights or obligations between Subtenant or Sublandlord unless and until Sublandlord and
Subtenant have executed and delivered the same, and Master Landlord has executed and delivered a
consent to this Sublease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, with such changes as may

shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of Master Landlord promptly
following mutual execution hereon. If no such consent to this Sublease is given by Master Landlord
within thirty (30) days after the delivery of a copy of the fully executed Sublease to Master
Landlord, then either Sublandlord or Subtenant shall have the right, by written notice to the
other, to terminate this Sublease at any time prior to such consent from

Master Landlord being given. By delivering this Sublease, each Party hereby represents and
warrants to the other that such execution and delivery has been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate or partnership action and that the person(s) executing same have been duly authorized to
do so.
In the event the Master Lease is terminated prior to the expiration of the Sublease Term,
whether as a result of a voluntary termination by Sublandlord or a default on the part of
Sublandlord, this Sublease shall, upon notice from Master Landlord to Subtenant, remain in full
force and effect as a direct lease between Subtenant and Master Landlord (in which event Subtenant
shall attorn to Master Landlord).

legal title to the FF&E and that the FF&E is free and clear of any and all security agreements,
financings statements or other liens and encumbrances. Except as set froth in the immediately
preceding sentence, the FF&E is sold to Subtenant in its then “as-is” condition, and Sublandlord
makes no, and Subtenant acknowledges it is not relying on any, representation or warranty of any
kind whatsoever, express or implied, as to any other matters concerning the FF&E including, without
limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

guaranty substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H.
29. Miscellaneous.
(a) | Time is of the essence of each and every term of this Sublease. | ||

(i) | The Parties mutually acknowledge that this Sublease has been negotiated at arm’s length. The provisions of this Sublease shall be deemed to have been drafted by all of the Parties and this Sublease shall not be interpreted or constructed against any Party solely by virtue of the fact that such Party or its counsel was responsible for its preparation. | ||
(j) | This Sublease may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. |
