Recitals:
--------
X. Xxxxx/Xxxxxx/Occidential I, a joint venture ("Landlord"), entered
into a lease dated January 18, 1988 with Pharmacia Opthalmics, Inc., the
corporate predecessor to Pharmacia, which lease was subsequently amended by a
First Amendment to Lease dated as of September 1, 1988 (as so amended, the
"Lease"). Pursuant to the Lease, Landlord leased the approximately 140,000
square feet of office and manufacturing space and adjacent parking spaces and
parking structure located on the property in the City of Monrovia, County of Los
Angeles, California, more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto
and made a part hereof (the "Leased Premises").
B. Pharmacia has heretofore subleased the Leased Premises to Datatape
Incorporated ("Datatape") by an Assignment and Assumption of Lease dated May 8,
1995 (the "Datatape Sublease") and the Datatape Sublease will be terminated as
to the portion of the Leased Premises more particularly described in Exhibit "B"
attached hereto and made a part hereof (the "Premises") simultaneously with the
execution and delivery of this Sublease.
C. Pharmacia desires to sublease the Premises to Metrum-D and Metrum-
D desires to sublease the Premises upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
promises contained herein, Pharmacia and Metrum-D covenant and agree as follows:
1. Sublease.
--------
(a) Effective on the Effective Date, as defined in Section 3(b),
through and including January 31, 2004, Pharmacia subleases to Metrum-D the
Premises under the terms and conditions of the Lease as if Pharmacia were the
"Landlord" and Metrum-D the "Tenant" thereunder, other than as modified herein
as to rent and other matters, excluding, however, any options under Articles
XXVII and XXIX of the Lease, which options are hereby exclusively reserved to
Pharmacia. Effective on the Effective Date, through and including January 31,
2004, Metrum-D accepts the sublease and further covenants and agrees to pay and
perform and abide by all of the covenants, terms, conditions, agreements and
other obligations on the part of the Tenant to be performed, paid or observed
under the Lease as relates to the Premises, other than as modified herein as to
rent and other matters. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Metrum-
D's covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder shall relate only to the
Premises and not to any other portion of the Leased Premises.
(b) The Premises are subleased to Metrum-D in their present
condition by Pharmacia, without representation or warranty, express or implied,
subject and subordinate to (i) all easements, agreements, covenants and recorded
matters, (ii) all taxes not yet due and payable, and (iii) all applicable zoning
rules, restrictions, regulations, resolutions and ordinances and building
restrictions and governmental regulations now or hereafter in effect. Metrum-D
has examined the Lease and the Premises and the title to each and has found the
same satisfactory.
(c) Pharmacia will continue to pay all rent and other monetary
obligations required by the Lease to Landlord.
(d) Metrum-D shall make payment of all rents and other sums due
under this Sublease directly to Pharmacia. All notices, reports, negotiations
and any other miscellaneous matters may be accomplished by direct dealing
between Metrum-D and Landlord, provided that Metrum-D shall send a copy of any
such notices or other correspondence or reports sent or received to Pharmacia.
1
(e) For each and every term of the Lease as relates to the
Premises, Metrum-D shall be deemed to be "Tenant" thereunder. Metrum-D
acknowledges that it has received and reviewed a copy of said Lease. Metrum-D
agrees that, except for issues relating to rent and Lease Term, after obtaining
the consent of the Landlord as contemplated by Section 3(a)(ii) hereof, it will
look primarily to Landlord and not to Pharmacia for satisfaction of all rights
and obligations under the Lease.
(f) Metrum-D shall periodically render to Pharmacia reports
showing that the Lease as relates to the Premises is being kept free from
default by Metrum-D. Such reports shall be provided on a quarterly basis,
commencing three months after the Effective Date, within thirty days of the
close of each quarterly period. Additionally, Metrum-D shall notify Pharmacia
immediately in the event Metrum-D permits any default (or alleged or possible
default) under the Lease as relates to the Premises to occur.
2. Tender of Possession.
--------------------
(a) Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section
3, on the Effective Date, Pharmacia shall deliver possession of the Premises to
Metrum-D in the same condition it receives the Premises from Datatape with
Pharmacia's fixtures, personal property and equipment present on the Leased
Premises remaining thereon. After Datatape ceases its use of the Leased Premises
not included in the Premises as contemplated below, Datatape shall leave such
portion of the Leased Premises in "broom clean" condition. By execution of this
Sublease, Metrum-D acknowledges and agrees that it has inspected the Premises
and the FF&E and shall accept the Premises and the FF&E on the Effective Date in
their then "as is" and "where is" condition. Metrum-D further acknowledges and
agrees that neither Pharmacia, nor its employees, agents or others acting on its
behalf, has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the
Premises or the FF&E, the quality or workmanship of the Premises or the FF&E for
any particular purpose or use (including, without limitation, the availability
of any permit or consent in order to alter or operate the Premises or the FF&E)
and that no such representation or warranty shall be implied by law or equity,
it being agreed that all such risks are to be borne by Metrum-D. Metrum-D hereby
releases Pharmacia from any liability, claim or demand arising out of or
pertaining to the physical condition of the Premises or the FF&E.
(b) For a period of six (6) months after the Effective Date (or a
shorter period if Pharmacia subleases such area to a third party), Pharmacia
grants to Metrum-D and its employees, agents and invitees a license to enter and
use the balance of the Leased Premises in order to transition the operations of
Metrum-D into the Premises and Metrum-D will insure its activities thereon,
indemnify Pharmacia with respect to its activities thereon and comply as to its
activities concerning any hazardous substances, as if such portion of the Leased
Premises were included in the Premises.
3. Effective Date.
--------------
(a) This Sublease is expressly subject to the satisfaction of the
following conditions:
(i) Datatape shall have ceased business operations from
the Premises and Pharmacia and Datatape shall have terminated the Datatape
Sublease with respect to the Premises; and
(ii) Landlord shall have consented to this Sublease.
Metrum-D and Pharmacia acknowledge and agree that, although as between them and
as to third parties other than Landlord, this Sublease shall constitute a
sublease of the Premises, the consent of Landlord to this Sublease is expressly
required.
(b) The "Effective Date," as used herein, shall mean November 14,
1997. Each party agrees to give prompt notice to the other party of the
satisfaction of or the inability to satisfy any of the contingencies set forth
in Section 3(a) of which such party shall become aware. The foregoing
notwithstanding, if the condition subsequent set forth in Section 3(a)(ii) is
not satisfied by December 31, 1997, then either party may, as its sole and
exclusive remedy, terminate this Sublease by giving written notice to the other
party within ten (10) days after the date
2
on which such contingency was required to be satisfied hereunder and such
termination shall be effective four (4) months after the date of such notice of
termination unless an earlier date is required by Landlord; provided that, in
any event, if Landlord terminates the Lease as a result of the Sublease herein
or the discontinuance of operations by Datatape from the Premises, this Sublease
shall simultaneously terminate. If this Sublease is terminated pursuant to this
Section 3, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this
Sublease or the Lease and each party releases the other from any cost, loss,
damage, claim, liability, expense, fee or charge related thereto or arising
therefrom, other than the return by Pharmacia of the Deposit, defined in Section
3(c) below, and the indemnification provided in Section 5 below.
(c) Concurrently with the execution of this Sublease, Metrum-D
shall pay to Pharmacia by certified or cashiers' check or wire transferred funds
a security deposit ("Security Deposit") in the sum of Forty Five Thousand
Dollars ($45,000). Pharmacia shall have no obligation to tender or deliver
possession or occupancy of the Premises to Metrum-D prior to Metrum-D's payment
to Pharmacia of the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be held by
Pharmacia as security for Metrum-D's faithful performance of Metrum-D's
obligations thereunder. If Metrum-D fails to pay any sums due hereunder, either
to Pharmacia or to Landlord, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision
of this Sublease, Pharmacia may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said
Security Deposit for the payment of any such sums due in default or for the
payment of any other sums to which Pharmacia may become obligated by reason of
Metrum-D's default or to compensate Pharmacia for any loss or damage that
Pharmacia may suffer thereby. If Pharmacia so uses or applies all or any portion
of said Security Deposit, Metrum-D shall within ten (10) days after written
demand therefor deposit cash with Pharmacia in an amount sufficient to restore
said Security Deposit to the full $45,000. Pharmacia shall not be required to
keep said Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. If Metrum-D
performs all of Metrum-D's obligations hereunder, said Security Deposit, or so
much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Pharmacia, shall be returned
without payment of interest or other increment for its use to Metrum-D at the
expiration of the term hereof and after Metrum-D has vacated the Premises. No
trust relationship is created herein between Pharmacia and Metrum-D with respect
to said Security Deposit.
4. Rent and Proration; Expenses; Parking. As rent for the Premises,
-------------------------------------
Metrum-D shall pay directly to Pharmacia the following sums: (i) a basic
monthly rental of $45,000 per month (in lieu of the "Basic Monthly Rental" due
under Section 4.1 of the Lease), and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of any and all
rent (other than "Basic Monthly Rental"), charges, real estate taxes or other
sums due from Pharmacia under the Lease, commencing on the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Metrum-D shall not be liable or
responsible for (i) any annual pro rata share of any property taxes required to
be paid by Pharmacia under the Lease exceeding $144,000 per year, or (ii) any
and all expenses related to or associated with the roof, the building structure,
building systems (boilers, cooling towers, etc.) or with the leasing of the
portion of the Leased Premises not included in the Premises. Metrum-D will be
responsible for all expenses of and relating to the relocation of the prior
operations of Datatape purchased by Metrum-D into the Premises. Pharmacia will
cooperate with and assist Metrum-D, without incurring undue expense, in any
effort to reduce the property taxes on the Leased Premises and will assist in
obtaining any consent of Landlord in connection therewith.
Pharmacia will be responsible for all expenses of and relating to the
reconfiguration of the improvements on the Leased Premises for use as a multi-
tenant facility (excluding any expenses Metrum-D incurs in connection with its
improvements of the Premises), including but not limited to (i) the
reconfiguration of the lobby and other common areas of the Leased Premises to
allow for convenient access to the Premises, (ii) the separation and separate
metering of all utilities for individual tenant use if the cost of such separate
metering is reasonable (provided if such separate metering is not done, any
allocation of utility expense to Metrum-D shall not exceed Metrum-D's utility
expense incurred by it prior to such multi-tenant reconfiguration, subject to
increases in utility rates or utility usage by Metrum-D), (iii) the separation
of all telephone, security, HVAC and other similar building systems, and (iv)
the establishment of proper and convenient ingress and egress to the parking
facilities of the Leased Premises. All of such reconfiguration shall be
pursuant to plans and specifications as reasonably approved by Metrum-D and with
such finish as consistent with the current finish on the Leased Premises. The
foregoing reconfiguration by Pharmacia does not need to occur until such time as
Pharmacia obtains one or more additional tenants for the balance of the Leased
Premises and will include such reasonable modifications to the Premises required
to comply with governmental security requirements imposed on Metrum-D as
consistent with the current such security protections at the Leased Premises.
Pharmacia will reserve for Metrum-D and its employees, agents and invitees no
fewer than 50% of the parking spaces at the on site and
3
remote parking facilities directly associated with the Leased Premises as set
forth on Exhibit "C" attached hereto. Metrum-D will reasonably cooperate with
Pharmacia in the reconfiguration of the Leased Premises as described above.
5. Indemnification. Except as to claims regarding the condition of
---------------
the Premises or claims not relating to the condition of the Premises of which
Metrum-D had actual or constructive (but with no imputation of knowledge from
Datatape) knowledge on or before the date of its execution hereof, Pharmacia
shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Metrum-D, its affiliates,
successors and assigns, from and against any and all damage, loss, liability,
claim, cost, expense, action and cause of action (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and the reasonable cost of investigation) incurred by
or asserted against Metrum-D, its successors and assigns, accruing under the
Lease prior to the Effective Date or arising from or pertaining to Pharmacia's
or its prior assignees or subtenants (other than Datatape) use or occupation of
the Leased Premises prior to the Effective Date. Metrum-D shall defend,
protect, indemnify and hold harmless Pharmacia, its successors and assigns, from
and against any and all damage, loss, liability, claim, cost, expense, action
and cause of action (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and the reasonable cost of investigation) incurred by or asserted against
Pharmacia, its affiliates, successors and assigns, accruing under the Lease and
related to the Premises on or after the Effective Date or arising from or
pertaining to Metrum-D's use or occupation of the Premises on or after the
Effective Date. The terms and conditions of this Section 5 shall survive the
termination of this Sublease.
6. Additional Covenants. In addition to Metrum-D's agreement to
--------------------
perform and abide by the covenants and obligations of the Lease as relates to
the Premises as set forth herein, Metrum-D agrees and covenants with Pharmacia
as follows:
(a) Insurance. Metrum-D shall obtain and maintain during the term
of the Lease, at its own expense, all insurance required under Article XIII of
the Lease with respect to the Premises, naming Metrum-D as insured and Pharmacia
and Landlord as additional insureds, insuring against any cost, loss, damage or
expense, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and the reasonable costs
of investigation, incurred by reason of any claim, suit, liability or demand
whatsoever for death, personal injury or property damage arising out of,
pertaining to or involving the Lease and Metrum-D's use or occupancy of the
Premises. Such insurance shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies
issued by insurers of recognized responsibility, licensed to issue insurance in
California and which shall provide that such policies shall not be cancelled or
materially amended without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Pharmacia and Metrum-D. A certificate of such policy shall be delivered to
Pharmacia upon execution of this Sublease by Pharmacia and thereafter not less
than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of such policy. Such policy
shall not require Metrum-D or Pharmacia to pay any portion of any loss, damage
or a claim prior to payment by the insurer.
(b) Alteration; Restoration. If any alteration, addition or change
shall be desired to be made to the Premises pursuant to Article VII of the Lease
or Metrum-D is obligated to restore the Premises pursuant to Article XIV of the
Lease then, in addition to compliance with any obligation of the Tenant under
the Lease with respect to the Premises (including without limitation, Metrum-D's
obligation to obtain Landlord's and Pharmacia's prior written consent for any
such alterations, additions or change pursuant thereto), Metrum-D shall, prior
to commencing any construction: (i) obtain the written consent of Pharmacia to
complete plans and specifications for each addition and each structural
alteration or change, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or conditioned; and (ii) if the cost of work involved exceeds $50,000 in the
aggregate for a given project undertaken after the Effective Date, obtain and
deliver to Pharmacia a bond payable to Pharmacia (or other security acceptable
to Pharmacia, in its sole discretion) securing the performance by Metrum-D to
complete such alteration, addition or change in accordance with the Lease. Such
bond or other security shall be in the amount of the estimated cost to complete
such alteration, addition or change.
(c) Amendment. Metrum-D shall not enter into any amendment,
modification or termination of the Lease without the prior written consent of
Pharmacia, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Metrum-D shall not
release or discharge the Landlord from any term, condition, agreement,
obligation or restriction on the part of the Landlord to be performed under the
Lease nor waive its right to enforce any of the foregoing under the Lease
without the prior written consent of Pharmacia, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
(d) Assignment and Subletting. Metrum-D may not sublet all or any
part of the Premises or assign or transfer its interest under this Sublease
without the prior written consent of Pharmacia, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Each such sublease, assignment or transfer shall
expressly be made subject
4
to the provisions of the Lease and this Sublease, including without limitation
the requirements of Article XVI of the Lease requiring the consent of the
Landlord thereto. No assignment, transfer or sublease shall modify or limit any
right or power of Pharmacia hereunder or affect or reduce any obligation of
Metrum-D under the Lease or this Sublease, and all such obligations shall
continue in full force and effect during the term of the Lease as obligations of
a principal and not of a guarantor or surety, as though no assignment, transfer
or subletting had been made. For purposes of this Section only, the words,
"assign" or "transfer," shall include entering into any mortgage, deed of trust
or other lien secured by the interest of the Metrum-D in the Sublease or the
Premises.
(e) FF&E Ownership. If this Sublease remains in full force and
effect on January 31, 2004, Pharmacia shall, at that time, convey all of its
right, title and interest in and to the FF&E to Metrum-D, but only to the extent
then owned by Pharmacia. Metrum-D acknowledges that Pharmacia is only the lessee
of a substantial portion of the FF&E and that such leased FF&E will not be
conveyed to Metrum-D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pharmacia agrees to make
available to Metrum-D the leased FF&E through the term of this Sublease, if
Metrum-D so requests.
7. Pharmacia's Representations. Pharmacia represents and warrants
---------------------------

(b) Pharmacia is not in default under the terms of the Lease or any assignment

(b) If any Event of Default cannot be cured within the above
described period (other than as to basic monthly rent or any other monetary
obligation due hereunder) but Metrum-D commences a cure within such period and
diligently pursues the cure to completion within a reasonable time, Pharmacia
shall not exercise its remedies hereunder for such Event of Default so long as
Metrum-D is pursuing such cure and so long as the Landlord has not given notice
of any default or breach under the Lease.
(c) If Metrum-D fails to cure an Event of Default within the
period provided above, Pharmacia may exercise one or more of the following
remedies:

attorneys' fees, for obtaining possession of the Premises, reasonable costs of
investigation, all storage costs, and any repairs or alterations necessary to
re-assign the Lease or sublet the Premises, together with interest thereon at
the default interest rate) and the rent and other charged assumed by Metrum-D
hereunder. In the event Metrum-D shall be expelled, Metrum-D covenants and
agrees to execute and deliver to Pharmacia within ten (10) days after demand
therefor any and all documents reasonably necessary to deliver the Premises to
Pharmacia. No re-entry to the Premises shall be construed as a termination of
this Sublease unless Pharmacia shall deliver to Metrum-D written notice of such
intention.
10. Hazardous Substances.
--------------------
(a) Unless Metrum-D obtains, at its own expense, all governmental
licenses and permits required therefor, Metrum-D shall not cause or permit any
Hazardous Substance to be used, stored, generated, or disposed of on or in the
Premises by Metrum-D, Metrum-D's agents, employees, contractors or invitees,
without first obtaining Pharmacia's prior written consent, which may be withheld
at Pharmacia's sole and absolute discretion. Metrum-D shall, immediately upon
receipt, deliver a copy of all such licenses and permits (together with any

penalties, costs, liabilities, or losses (including, without limitation, a
decrease in value of the Premises, damages because of adverse impact on
marketing of the Premises, and any and all sums paid for settlement of claims,
attorneys', consultants' and experts' fees) arising during or after the term of
the Lease and arising as a result of such contamination by Metrum-D. This
indemnification includes, without limitation, any and all costs incurred because
of any investigation of the site or any cleanup, removal, or restoration
mandated by a federal, state or local agency or political subdivision. In
addition, if Metrum-D causes or permits the presence of any Hazardous Substance
on the Premises and this results in contamination, Metrum-D shall promptly, at
its sole expense, take any and all necessary actions as required by applicable
law to remediate such contamination and shall repair any damage to the Premises
caused by such remediation. The terms and conditions of this Section 10 shall
survive the termination of this Sublease.
(b) As used herein, "Hazardous Substance" means any substance
which is toxic, ignitable, reactive, or corrosive and which is regulated by any
local government, the State of California, or the United States government.
"Hazardous Substance" includes any and all material or substances which are

---------------------

agreement alleged to have been made by Pharmacia and Metrum-D shall indemnify,
hold harmless, protect and defend (with counsel acceptable to Pharmacia in its
subjective, good faith discretion) Pharmacia if such claim shall be based upon

except by a written agreement executed by Pharmacia and Metrum-D (subject to any
required Landlord's consent), and only to the extent set forth therein.
14. Attorneys' Fees. If any party to this Sublease shall bring any
---------------
action or proceeding for any relief against the other, declaratory or otherwise,
arising out of this Sublease, the losing party shall pay to the prevailing party
a reasonable sum for attorneys' fees and costs incurred in bringing or defending
such action or proceeding and/or enforcing any judgment granted therein, all of
which shall be deemed to have accrued upon the commencement of such action or
proceeding and shall be paid whether or not such action or proceeding is
prosecuted to final judgment. Any judgment or order entered in such action or
proceeding shall contain a specific provision providing for the recovery of
attorneys' fees and costs, separate from the judgment, incurred in enforcing
such judgment. The prevailing party shall be determined by the trier of fact
based upon an assessment of which party's major arguments or positions taken in
the proceedings could fairly be said to have prevailed over the other party's
major arguments or positions on major disputed issues. For the purposes of this
Section, attorneys' fees shall include, without limitation, fees incurred in the
following: (1) post-judgment motions; (2) contempt proceedings; (3)
garnishment, levy, and debtor and third party examinations;
7
(4) discovery; and (5) bankruptcy litigation. This Section is intended to be
expressly severable from the other provisions of this Sublease, is intended to
survive any judgment and is not to be deemed merged into the judgment.
15. Form of Documents. All instruments and documents to be executed
-----------------
and delivered under this Sublease by any party to any other party shall be in
the form reasonably satisfactory to the other party and its counsel.
16. Successors and Assigns. This Sublease shall be binding upon, and
----------------------
shall inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of the parties.
17. Duplicate Counterparts. This Sublease may be executed in
----------------------
duplicate counterparts, all of which together shall constitute a single
instrument, and each of which shall be deemed an original of this Sublease for
all purposes, notwithstanding that less than all signatures appear on any one
counterpart.
18. Section Headings. The various section headings in this Sublease
----------------
