Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby subleases from Sublandlord, the Sublease Premises, together with all appurtenances thereto as provided in the Master Lease, for the Sublease Term and on the terms and conditions contained in 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. | ||
(b) | Sublandlord represents and warrants that: (i) to the best of its knowledge, as of the Sublease Commencement Date, the Sublease Premises complies with all laws, codes, ordinances and other governmental requirements then applicable to the Sublease Premises and (ii) to the best of its knowledge, as of the Sublease Commencement Date, there are no material defects in the Sublease Premises which would unreasonably interfere with Subtenant’s use and enjoyment of the Sublease Premises. | ||
(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 |
3
Sublease Premises at least five (5) days prior to the Sublease Commencement Date, unless waived in writing by Subtenant. | |||
(e) | Subject to the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 3(e), Sublandlord and its agents, employees and contractors shall be afforded full access to the Sublease Premises during normal business hours for the purpose of removing the Cesium 137 Irradiator (the “Irradiator”) and removing any Hazardous Materials from the Sublease Premises that were caused by the Irradiator. Sublandlord shall remove the Irradiator and such Hazardous Materials by July 31, 2007. Sublandlord shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify Subtenant from all liability, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damage and claims arising from any bodily injury, property damage or mechanics’ lien claims directly and solely resulting from entry and activities on the Sublease Premises by Sublandlord, its agents, employees and contractors arising from the Irradiator and the existence and removal of Hazardous Materials caused by the Irradiator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant, nor shall Sublandlord have any obligation to hold harmless, defend or indemnify Subtenant from any liability, costs, damage or claims which are related to Subtenant’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. |
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 and Additional Operating Costs,
“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
4
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 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. |
5
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.
8. | Operating Costs, Real Estate Taxes and Utilities. |
(a) | Commencing on the Sublease Commencement Date, Subtenant shall pay Subtenant’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of Operating Costs (as defined in the Master Lease), Real Property Taxes (as defined in the Master Lease), and insurance costs incurred by Sublandlord under the Master Lease. Subtenant’s Pro Rata Share is one hundred percent (100%), which represents the ratio of the rentable square footage of the Sublease Premises to the Rentable Square Footage of the Master Lease Premises (“Subtenant’s Pro Rata Share”). Subtenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be computed by Sublandlord on a monthly or other periodic basis selected by Sublandlord. Subtenant’s shall pay the amount of such pro rata share within ten (10) business days after receipt of a statement from Sublandlord. | ||
(b) | Sublandlord may incur actual, third-party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses related to the operation of the Center or Campus, as more specifically described on Exhibit F attached hereto (collectively, “Additional Operating Costs”). Subtenant shall be responsible for reimbursing Sublandlord for Subtenant’s prorate share of such Additional Operating Costs as provided below. Subtenant’s pro rata share of Additional Operating Costs shall be one hundred percent (100%) with respect to Additional Operating Costs that are incurred by Sublandlord for the sole benefit of the Sublease Premises. 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. Subtenant shall bear such Additional Operating Costs commencing on the Sublease Commencement Date. The Additional Operating Costs shall be included in the defined term Subtenant’s Rent. |

Sublandlord agrees to perform all of its obligations under the Master Lease and, except for a termination of the Master Lease in connection with a casualty or condemnation pursuant to Sublandlord’s express rights as set forth therein, to maintain the Master Lease in full force and effect, except to the extent that any failure to maintain the Master Lease is due to the failure of Subtenant to comply with any of its obligations under this Sublease. Sublandlord shall not amend or modify the Master Lease in such a manner as to materially adversely affect Subtenant’s use of the Subleased Premises or increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Subtenant hereunder, without the prior written consent of Subtenant, which may be granted or withheld at Subtenant’s sole discretion. | ||
(c) | If Sublandlord fails to pay any sum of money to Master Landlord, or fails to perform any other act on its part to be performed under the Master Lease or this Sublease, then Subtenant may, but shall not be obligated to, make such payment or perform such act.

Sublandlord makes no representation or warranty of quiet enjoyment as to any persons claiming by, through or under Master Landlord, but Sublandlord represents and warrants quiet enjoyment as against any person claiming by, through or under Sublandlord. | ||
(ii) | Sublandlord agrees, upon request of Subtenant, to use reasonable efforts, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, to cause Master Landlord to provide, furnish, or comply with any of Master Landlord’s obligations under the Master Lease or to provide any required consents or approvals; provided, however, that Sublandlord shall not be obligated to use such efforts or take any action which, in Sublandlord’s reasonable judgment, might give rise to a default by Sublandlord under the Master Lease. Such efforts shall |
9
include, without limitation, upon Subtenant’s request, notifying Master Landlord within two (2) business days of its non-performance under the Master Lease and requesting that Master Landlord perform its obligations thereunder. If Master Landlord shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under the Master Lease or at law, Sublandlord shall, upon request and at the expense of Subtenant, cooperate with Subtenant in the prosecution of any reasonable action or proceeding, in order to have Master Landlord (A) make such repairs, furnish such electricity, provide such services or comply with any other obligation of Master Landlord under the Master Lease or as required by law, (B) compensate Subtenant for any earlier default by Master Landlord in the payment or performance of its liabilities and obligations under the Master Lease during the Sublease Term, and/or (C) assigning Sublandlord’s rights under the Master Lease to Subtenant to the extent necessary to permit Subtenant to institute legal proceedings against Master Landlord to obtain the performance of Master Landlord’s obligations under the Master Lease; provided, however, that if Subtenant commences a lawsuit or other action, Subtenant shall pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (with any matter affecting the Sublease Premises, or a proportionate share of such costs if the matter also effects the Master Premises), and Subtenant shall indemnify Sublandlord against, and hold Sublandlord harmless from, all costs and expenses incurred by Sublandlord in connection therewith. | |||
(iii) | Subtenant shall not make any claim against Sublandlord for any damage which may arise by reason of: (i) the failure of Master Landlord to keep, observe or perform any of its obligations under the Master Lease; or (ii) the acts or omissions of Master Landlord or its employees, agents, licensees, contractors or invitees. | ||
(iv) | Subtenant agrees that any waiver of liability, waiver of subrogation rights, or indemnification provisions in the Master Lease which are incorporated herein as waivers or obligations of Subtenant (including, but not limited to, in Sections 9.5, 12.2, 13 and 14.5 of the Master Lease, to the extent applicable to and incorporated in this Sublease), shall be deemed expanded so as to provide for Subtenant to make such waivers and provide such indemnities not only in favor of Sublandlord, but also in favor of Master Landlord, and the respective affiliated employees, agents and the like of both Sublandlord and Master Landlord as enumerated in such provisions. |
(g) | In the event that Sublandlord, as Tenant, is entitled to termination rights for all or a portion of the Sublease Premises, including, without limitation, as a result of (i) damage and destruction under Section 16 of the Master Lease, or (ii) a partial condemnation under Section 17 of the Master Lease, then Subtenant shall be entitled to similar termination rights with respect to the portion or all of the |
10
Sublease Premises affected, regardless of whether or not Sublandlord seeks to enforce such termination rights under the Master Lease. | |||
(h) | In the event that Sublandlord, as Tenant, receives a rent abatement for all or a portion of the Sublease Premises, including, without limitation, as a result of (i) damage and destruction under Section 16 of the Master Lease, or (ii) a partial condemnation under Section 17 of the Master Lease, then Subtenant shall be entitled to similar abatement of Subtenant’s Rent with respect to the portion or all of the Sublease Premises affected. | ||
(i) | Notwithstanding the incorporation of Section 6 of the Master Lease, Subtenant shall only be responsible for its proportionate share of Operating Costs, Additional Operating Costs, Real Property Taxes and insurance costs incurred by the Master Landlord under the Master Lease and charged through to Sublandlord. Subject to the provisions of Section 8(b) above, under no circumstances shall Subtenant be liable for any such costs directly incurred by Sublandlord. |
11. | Insurance. |
Subtenant shall comply at all times and in all respects with the provisions of Section
9 of the Master Lease with regard to the maintenance of insurance by “Tenant”. Such insurance
shall name, as additional insureds, Master Landlord, Sublandlord and any other parties required to
be named under the terms of the Master Lease, and a policy or certificate thereof shall be provided
to Sublandlord not later than two (2) business days prior to the Sublease Commencement Date. The
maintenance of insurance coverage with respect to the Sublease Premises and any property of
Subtenant shall be the sole obligation of Subtenant. All insurance required to be maintained by
Subtenant shall provide for thirty (30) days prior written notice to Sublandlord and Master
Landlord in the event of any termination or reduction in coverage of such insurance. All property
insurance policies which either Party obtains affecting the Sublease Premises shall include a
clause or endorsement denying the insurer any rights of subrogation against the other Party or
Master Landlord. Sublandlord and Subtenant waive any rights of recovery against the other for any
actually insured injury or loss including all amounts within any deductible or self-insured
retention amount applicable to any such insured injury or loss.
12. | Surrender of Sublease Premises; Holding Over. |
(a) | As soon as its right to possession ends, Subtenant shall surrender the Sublease Premises to Sublandlord in as good repair and condition as when Subtenant first occupied, except for reasonable wear and tear and those improvements that Sublandlord made to the Sublease Premises that were not otherwise acquired by Subtenant in connection with this Sublease, or as otherwise consented to by the Master Landlord in the consent. Subtenant will concurrently deliver to Sublandlord all keys to the Sublease Premises, and restore any locks that it has changed to the system that existed at the commencement of the Sublease Term. If possession is not immediately surrendered, Sublandlord may enter upon and take possession of the Sublease Premises and expel or remove Subtenant and any other person who may be occupying the Sublease Premises or any part thereof. |
11
(b) | (b) At the expiration or termination of the Sublease Term, Sublandlord may require the removal of any or all furniture, personal property and equipment from the Sublease Premises, and the restoration of the Sublease Premises to its prior condition, except for reasonable wear and tear, at Subtenant’s expense. All of Subtenant’s furniture, personal property and equipment on or about the Sublease Premises, shall be removed from the Sublease Premises by Subtenant at the expiration or termination of the Sublease Term. 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.

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(b)
(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 “C” deemed

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 Sublease Term and
for sixty days after (i) the Sublease Expiration Date of the Sublease Term or (ii) the earlier
termination of the Sublease 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 Sublease 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,

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.
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
14
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.
Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary, Subtenant may assign the Sublease or
sublet the Sublease Premises, or any portion thereof, without Sublandlord’s consent, to any entity
which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Subtenant; to any entity which
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
under this Sublease which is not paid on the date due, shall bear interest from the date such
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.
19. | Authority. |
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.

Subject to Master Landlord’s approval, Subtenant shall have the right to install signage at
the Center, Building and Sublease Premises, at its sole cost and expense, subject to, and in
compliance with, the provisions of the Master Lease. In addition, subject to Master Landlord’s
approval, Subtenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to install signage that is
visible from Sorrento Valley Road, subject to the provisions of the Master Lease. At its cost,
Subtenant shall remove any such signage at the expiration of the Sublease Term and repair any
damage caused thereby.

pursuant to which Sublandlord shall pay any commission payable in connection
15

hereby represents and warrants to Subtenant, that no other broker or finder has been engaged by it,
respectively, in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Sublease or to its
knowledge is in any way connected with any such transactions. In the event of any other claims for
brokers’ or finders’ fees or commissions in connection with the negotiation, execution or
consummation of this Sublease, then Subtenant shall indemnify, save harmless and defend Sublandlord
from and against such claims if they shall be based upon any statement, representation or agreement
by Subtenant, and Sublandlord shall indemnify, save harmless and defend Subtenant from and against
such claims if they shall be based upon any statement, representation or agreement by Sublandlord.

interpreting this Sublease.

this Sublease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Sublandlord and Subtenant and their
respective successors and assigns.
24. | Parking. |
Subtenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use all parking areas available to Sublandlord
under the Master Lease.
25. | Master Landlord Consent. |
This Sublease shall not become effective and shall not be deemed to be an offer to sublease or
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 D, with such changes as may
reasonably be accepted by Subtenant and Sublandlord as long as Master Landlord does not change the
non-disturbance language of paragraph 4 of the consent set forth in Exhibit D. Subtenant
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.
16
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).
26. | Financial Statements. |
Subtenant represents, warrants and covenants that any financial statements heretofore
furnished to Sublandlord, in connection with this Sublease, are accurate and are not materially
misleading.

guaranty substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.
28. | Miscellaneous. |
(a) | Time is of the essence of each and every term of this Sublease. | ||
(b) | Subtenant waives any right it may now or hereafter have (i) for exemption of property from liability for debt or for distress for rent or (ii) relating to notice or delay in levy of execution in case of eviction for nonpayment of rent. | ||
(c) | If there is more than one party constituting Subtenant, their obligations are joint and several, and Sublandlord need not first proceed against all of them before proceeding against any or all of the others. | ||
(d) | Subtenant acquires no rights by implication from this Sublease, and is not a beneficiary of any past, current or future agreements between Sublandlord and third parties. | ||
(e) | California law governs this Sublease. Neither Party may record this Sublease or a copy or memorandum thereof. Submission of this Sublease to Subtenant is not an offer, and Subtenant will have no rights hereunder until each Party executes a counterpart and delivers it to the other Party. | ||
(f) | This Sublease cannot be changed or terminated orally. All informal understandings and agreements, representation or warranties heretofore made between the Parties are merged in this Sublease, which alone fully and completely expresses the agreement between Sublandlord and Subtenant as to the subleasing of the Sublease Premises. | ||
(g) | Each and every indemnification obligation set forth in this Sublease, or incorporated into this Sublease from the Master Lease, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Sublease. |
17
(h) | If, for any reason, any suit be initiated between Sublandlord and Subtenant to interpret or enforce any provision of this Sublease, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover from the other Party its legal costs, expert witness expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, as fixed by the court. | ||
(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. |

EXHIBIT D
CONSENT TO SUBLEASE AGREEMENT
THIS CONSENT TO SUBLEASE AGREEMENT (“Consent” or “Agreement”), dated for reference purposes
only July ___, 2007, is made by and among BC SORRENTO, LLC, a California limited liability company
(“Landlord”), AVANIR PHARMACEUTICALS, a California corporation (“Tenant”), and HALOZYME, INC., a
California corporation (“Subtenant”), with reference to the following facts:
RECITALS
A. Landlord and Tenant have entered into that certain Standard Industrial Net Lease dated
March 20, 2000, as amended (the “Lease”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A, for the lease
of certain premises currently consisting of 27,575 rentable square feet (the “Premises”) as more
particularly described in the Lease, located at 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx
00000.
B. Tenant and Subtenant desire to enter into that certain sublease of the Premises (the
“Sublease”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, for Subtenant’s use and occupancy of
the entire Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease.
C. Landlord has agreed to consent to the Sublease subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
D. Landlord, Tenant and Subtenant desire to enter into certain other agreements concerning the
Lease and the Sublease as set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Consent.
(a) Landlord hereby consents to the subletting of the Premises by Tenant to Subtenant pursuant
to the Sublease, subject to and upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement. Except as
may be expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Consent shall (i) operate as a consent
to or approval or ratification by Landlord of any of the provisions of the Sublease or as a
representation or warranty by Landlord, and Landlord shall not be bound or estopped in any way by
the provisions of the Sublease, nor (ii) be construed to waive any present or future breach or
default on the part of Tenant under the Lease.
(b) The Sublease shall in all respects be subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions
of the Lease. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of this Consent and
any of the terms of the Sublease or the Lease, the terms and conditions of this Consent shall
prevail. No merger shall result from the Sublease, any surrender of the Lease, nor
any mutual cancellation of the Lease, and in any of such events, subject to the provisions of
Section 5 below, Landlord may either terminate the Sublease or succeed to the interest of Tenant or
any other person therein.
(c) Tenant shall remain primarily liable to pay the rent and all other amounts payable by
Tenant under the Lease and to perform all other obligations of Tenant under the Lease, except as
otherwise expressly set forth herein. If Subtenant or any of its successors or assigns causes a
default under the Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without pursuing any remedies
whatsoever against Subtenant or any other person.
2. Future Transfers.
(a) Landlord may consent to subsequent subleases by Subtenant or any other person without
notifying Tenant or obtaining its consent, and no such action shall relieve Tenant of its primary
liability and obligations under the Lease and this Consent. This Consent applies only to the
specific Sublease described herein, and neither the execution hereof by Landlord, nor the
acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person, including Subtenant, shall constitute a
consent to any subsequent sublease or a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder or under the
Lease.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no event of default has occurred under the
Lease, Subtenant may assign the Sublease or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof, without
Tenant’s or Landlord’s consent, to any entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with Subtenant; to any entity which 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. Tenant shall have no
right to terminate the Sublease, and Landlord 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.
3. Condition of Premises.
(a) Tenant acknowledges its responsibilities under the Lease to remove and remediate any and
all contamination and other effects arising from the use of radioactive materials in the Premises.
Such responsibilities include, without limitation, the filing of a Certificate of Disposition of
Materials with the California Department of Health Services (the “Department of Health Services”)
[this issue is still under review by Avanir](the “Closure Certificate”). Tenant agrees to pursue
the final acceptance of its Closure Certificate with commercially reasonable diligence following
the date hereof, and to obtain such final acceptance as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding
anything set forth in the Lease, Tenant agrees that no portion of its security deposit (including
any letter of credit) shall be returned to Tenant until the Closure Certificate is accepted as
final by the Department of Health Services, and if the Closure
2
Certificate is not accepted by the
end of the term of the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to
draw upon the amount of the letter of credit and hold the cash proceeds of such draw until the
Closure Certificate is obtained. Landlord agrees to return the original letter of credit to Tenant
promptly upon submission of written proof by the Tenant that the Closure Certificate has been
accepted as final by the Department of Health. A true and correct copy of the Closure Certificate
is attached as Exhibit C.
(b) Section 20.2 of the Lease provides that certain fixtures and other items of personal
property that are integrated into the Premises are not to be removed by Tenant at the end of the
term of the Lease, and that certain other items are removable at the end of the term of the Lease
by Tenant. However, Landlord, Subtenant and Tenant acknowledge that Landlord and Subtenant have
entered into an agreement for the lease of the Premises following the end of the term of the Lease
and that significant opportunity for confusion may exist at the end of that subsequent lease as to
what fixtures and other such personal property are to remain in the Premises and which may be
removed by Tenant or Subtenant. In order to avoid such confusion, Landlord, Subtenant and Tenant
agree to conduct a coordinated inspection of the Premises as soon as reasonably practicable after
the execution of this Agreement and to mutually develop and agree upon a list of the existing items
in the Premises that are not to be removed at the end of the term of either the Lease or such
subsequent lease. Such meetings, inspection and mutual agreement shall occur on or before August
1, 2007.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 3(b) above or any provision in the Lease or the Sublease to the
contrary, (i) Landlord agrees that it has no ownership interest in the furniture, fixtures and
equipment listed on Exhibit C to the Sublease or the emergency power generator (including all
monitoring, connecting and operating equipment and parts) currently servicing the Premises and
further agrees that Tenant may remove or transfer the same in its discretion, (ii) Subtenant shall
not be required to remove or restore at the expiration of the Sublease term or otherwise, any
alterations or improvements made to the Sublease Premises prior to the date of this Consent, and
(iii) Subtenant shall retain ownership of all of its fixtures, machinery, equipment, and other
items of personal property and may remove the same from the Premises provided such removal can be
accomplished (and is accomplished) without material physical damage to the Building or material
impairment of the operation thereof.
(d) Landlord acknowledges and agrees to accept the Exit Assessment specified in Section 14.8
of the Lease which Tenant has provided or will provide to Subtenant in connection with the Sublease
(the “Sublease Exit Assessment”). The Sublease Exit Assessment will satisfy Tenant’s obligation to
provide an Exit Assessment to the Landlord under Section 14.8 of the Lease. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant’s obligation to provide any further Exit
Assessments is and will be extinguished when the Sublease Exit Assessment is provided to Subtenant
and Landlord. Tenant will remain responsible for the implementation of any recommended actions
contained in the Sublease Exit Assessment. This provision does not affect Subtenant’s obligation
to procure, issue and implement the recommendations of an Exit Assessment at the end of the Lease
Term, if required pursuant to the terms of the Lease.
4. Status of the Lease.
3
(a) Tenant agrees that the Lease is in full force and effect and that there are no breaches or
defaults thereunder on the part of Landlord, nor does any condition exist that, with the passage of
time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute such a breach or default on the part of
Landlord under the Lease.
(b) Landlord and Tenant agree that attached hereto as Exhibit B is a true, correct and
complete copy of the Lease, and that the Lease represents the entire agreement between Landlord and
Tenant governing the leasing relationship between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Premises.
Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that it is has received and reviewed the Lease and is not
relying on any other document, instrument or agreement as governing the leasing relationship or the
occupancy of the Premises.
(c) Landlord agrees that the Lease is in full force and effect and that no Event of Default
under the Lease on the part of Tenant has occurred and is continuing, and to Landlord’s actual
knowledge without investigation, no condition exists that with the passage of time or the giving of
notice or both, including the execution of the Sublease and the performance of the duties and
obligations thereunder, would constitute an Event of Default on the part of Tenant under the Lease.
(d) Except as may be specifically set forth in the Lease or otherwise agreed in writing,
Landlord has no obligation to renew or extend the term of the Lease, has made no representations,
express or implied regarding the same nor is Landlord under any duty to offer to rent the Premises
or any other space to Tenant at such expiration. Subtenant takes the Lease with full knowledge
that the Lease term may not be extended or renewed at the time of expiration.
5. New Lease.
(a) If the Lease terminates for any reason, then within ten (10) business days following any
such termination, Landlord shall offer to lease the Premises to Subtenant for the remaining term of
the Lease at the same rent and on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease,
commencing concurrently with the termination of the Lease. Subtenant shall have five (5) business
days after receipt of such offer within which to unconditionally accept the same. If Subtenant
fails to unconditionally accept Landlord’s offer to enter into such replacement lease by the end of
such five (5) business day period, then Landlord shall nevertheless have the right to require
Subtenant to enter into a replacement lease agreement with Landlord, effective as of the date of
termination of the Lease, for the remaining term of the Sublease on the terms and conditions of the
Sublease, and such of the terms of the Lease as are not inconsistent with the Sublease. In the
event Subtenant does not exercise its right to lease the Premises on the same terms and conditions
as set forth in the Lease and Landlord does not exercise its right to require Subtenant to enter
into a replacement lease agreement with Landlord, then the Sublease shall terminate at the end of
such five (5) business day period.
6. Notices. All notices required by this Agreement shall be in writing, shall be
effective upon receipt or upon refusal of delivery, and shall be delivered by (i) hand, (ii)
certified mail, return receipt requested (iii) overnight courier service, or (iv) facsimile,
addressed to the other party as follows, or at such address or facsimile number as to which such
party from time
4
to time may give proper notice to the other party. Notices shall be deemed to have
been received: if hand delivered, when so delivered or when such delivery is refused; five days
after deposit as certified mail; on the date scheduled for delivery if sent by courier; and on the
date shown on the report generated by the sending machine if sent by facsimile.

Agreement and no other party will be construed to be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement or

(i) If any part of this Agreement is held by a court to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable,

CLOSURE CERTIFICATE

EXHIBIT E
GUARANTY
THIS GUARANTY OF LEASE (“Guaranty”) is made as of July ___, 2007, by HALOZYME THERAPEUTICS,
INC., a Nevada corporation (“Guarantor”), in favor of AVANIR PHARMACEUTICALS, a California
corporation (“Lessor”), in connection with that certain Sublease dated July ___, 2007 (the
“Lease”), pursuant to which Lessor leases to HALOZYME, INC., a California corporation (“Lessee”),
approximately 21,184 square feet of office space, located at 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx (the “Premises”). As a material inducement to and in consideration of Lessor’s entering
into the Lease, Lessor having indicated that it would not enter into the Lease without the
execution of this Guaranty, Guarantor does hereby agree with Lessor as follows:
(i) Guarantor does hereby unconditionally guarantee, without deduction by reason of set off,
defense or counterclaim, as a primary obligor and not as a surety, and promises to perform and be
liable for any and all obligations and liabilities of Lessee under the terms of the Lease,
including without implied limitation the Lessee’s obligation to pay such rents, charges, costs and
impositions as are set forth in the Lease. Guarantor further agrees to defend with counsel
acceptable to Lessor, and to indemnify, defend, and save Lessor harmless from and against any and
all loss, cost, damage or liability arising out of any breach by Lessee of any of the terms,
conditions and covenants of the Lease, or out of any breach of warranty or misrepresentation made
by Lessee under or in connection with the Lease, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and any other
costs incurred by Lessor in connection therewith.
(ii) The undertakings contained in this Guaranty shall be the personal liability of Guarantor.
Guarantor acknowledges that after any default by Lessee in the performance of any term, condition
or covenant of the Lease, the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be primary and that,
in the enforcement of its rights, Lessor shall be entitled to look to Guarantor for the performance
of the obligations of Lessee which Guarantor has guaranteed, without first commencing any action or
proceedings against Lessee, and likewise, enforcement of Lessor’s rights against Lessee shall not
impair the right of Lessor to enforce this Guaranty, and any such action by Lessor shall not
operate as a release of the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. The liability of Guarantor
under this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collectibility, is not
conditional upon the pursuit by Lessor of any remedies which it now has or may hereafter have with
respect thereto under the Lease, at law, in equity or otherwise, and will not be diminished or
affected by a claim by Lessee that the Lease was not duly executed and delivered by Lessee or that
the execution, delivery and performance of the Lease was not duly authorized or that the Lease when
executed by Lessee was not the legal, valid and binding obligation of Lessee or not generally
enforceable against Lessee. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the obligations of the
Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect until all
amounts due pursuant to the Lease have been paid in full and all of Lessee’s obligations thereunder
have been performed in full.
(iii) If Lessee shall at any time default in the performance or observance of any of the
terms, covenants or conditions in the Lease on Lessee’s part to be kept performed or observed,
Guarantor will keep, perform and observe same, as the case may be, in the place and stead of
Lessee.
(iv) The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be released by Lessor’s receipt,
application or release of any security given for the performance and observance of any covenant or
condition in the Lease on Lessee’s part to be performed or observed, regardless of whether
Guarantor consents thereto or receives notice thereof.
(v) The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected by (a) the release or
discharge of Lessee or any other party or the release of Lessee in any creditor’s receivership,
bankruptcy or other proceeding; (b) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of
Lessee or the estate of Lessee in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of Lessee’s
liability under the Lease resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the
Bankruptcy Code or other statute or from the decision in any court; (c) the rejection of the Lease
in any such proceedings; (d) the assignment or transfer of the Lease by Lessee; (e) any disability
of Lessee;
E-1
(f) the cessation from any cause other than as provided under the Lease whatsoever of the
liability of Lessee; (g) the exercise by Lessor of any of its rights or remedies reserved under the
Lease or by law; or (h) any termination of the Lease. As used herein, “Bankruptcy Code” means
Title 11 of the U.S. Code, as applicable, or any similar federal or state laws for the relief of
debtors, each as hereafter amended.
(vi) Guarantor agrees that none of its obligations and no right against Guarantor hereunder
shall in any way be discharged, impaired, or otherwise affected by any extension of time by Lessor
for, or by any partial or complete waiver by Lessor of the performance or failure by Lessor to
enforce of any of Lessee’s obligations under the Lease, or by any other alteration, amendment,
assignment, expansion, extension or modification by Lessor in or to the Lease, or by any release or
waiver by Lessor of any term, covenant or condition of the Lease, or by any delay by Lessor in the
enforcement of or waiver of any rights against Lessee, Guarantor or any other person or entity
under the Lease; provided, however, that to the extent Lessee’s obligations under the Lease are
reduced as a result of the foregoing, Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall likewise be
reduced. Without limitation, Guarantor agrees that the Premises may be subleased or the Lease may
be altered, amended, assigned, expanded, extended or modified from time to time on such terms and
provisions as may be satisfactory to Lessor without notice to or further assent by Guarantor, and
Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of any obligations guaranteed
hereby or of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon, and notice of any defaults of Lessee
under the Lease and waives presentment, diligence, demand for payment or performance, protest,
notice of dishonor, nonpayment or nonperformance of any such obligations, suit or taking of other
action by Lessor against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon and waives suretyship
defenses generally, other than full and timely payment and performance of all obligations hereby
guaranteed, and Guarantor agrees to cause Lessee to preserve the enforceability of all instruments
hereby guaranteed, as modified with Lessor’s consent, and not to cause Lessee to take any act or
make any omission which might be the basis for a claim that Guarantor has any defense to
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, exclusive only of the defense that Lessee has fully and timely
paid and performed all obligations hereby guaranteed. No insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation
proceeding or dissolution affecting Lessee or Guarantor shall affect, impair or be a defense to
this Guaranty. The liability of the Guarantor hereunder is primary and, except as otherwise set
forth herein, unconditional and, except as otherwise set forth herein shall not be subject to any
offset, defense or counterclaim of Guarantor. This is a continuing guaranty. Guarantor waives any
other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge,
release of defense of a guarantor or surety, or that might otherwise limit recourse against
Guarantor, except and to the extent that Lessee is released from its obligations under the Lease
other than in the context of a bankruptcy of Lessee or a claim by Lessee that the Lease was
unenforceable against Lessee as of the date of its execution. Moreover, Guarantor agrees that its
obligations shall not be affected by any circumstances which constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of a guarantor or surety, except and to the extent that Lessee is released from its
obligations under the Lease (other than in the context of a bankruptcy of Lessee or a claim by
Lessee that the Lease was unenforceable against Lessee as of the date of its execution).
(vii) Guarantor represents that this Guaranty and the Lease, as originally delivered and as
modified, amended or supplemented, have been duly authorized and are the legal, valid and binding
obligations of Guarantor and Lessee, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.
(viii) Without in any manner limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby waives
the benefits of the provisions of Sections 2809, 2810, 2847 and 2848 of the California Civil Code
and any similar or analogous statutes of California or any other jurisdiction and all principles or
provisions of law or equity which conflict with the terms of this Guaranty. In addition, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits
under California Civil Code Sections 2815, 2819, 2845, 2849 and 2850 and the second sentence of CC
Section 2822(a). In addition, each Guarantor agrees that Lessor (not Lessee or any other person or
entity) shall have the sole right to designate the portion of Lessee’s obligations under the Lease
that is satisfied by a partial payment by Lessee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, other than with respect to the potential duplication of enforcement costs, in no
event shall Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty exceed the liability which Guarantor would
have incurred (in the absence of a creditor’s receivership, bankruptcy or other proceeding
involving Guarantor or its assignee) if Guarantor had entered into the Lease.
(ix) Guarantor further agrees that it may be joined in any action against Lessee in connection
with the obligations of Lessee under the Lease and recovery may be had against Guarantor in any
such action. Lessor may
E-2
enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder without first taking any action whatsoever
against Lessee or its successors and assigns, or pursue any other remedy or apply any security it
may hold.
(x) Guarantor: (a) subordinates any right of subrogation it may have against Lessee to the
obligations of Lessee under, arising out of or related to the Lease or Lessee’s use or occupancy of
the Premises (as defined in the Lease); and (b) until all of Lessee’s obligations under the Lease
are fully performed, unconditionally and irrevocably subordinates any liability or indebtedness of
Lessee now or hereafter held by Guarantor to the obligations of Lessee under, arising out of or
related to the Lease or Lessee’s use of the Premises. Furthermore, from and after the occurrence
of any Event of Default (as defined in the Lease), Guarantor agrees that any payment on account of
any indebtedness from Lessee to Guarantor during such time shall be held in trust for Lessor.
(xi) The liability of Guarantor and all rights, powers and remedies of Lessor hereunder and
under any other agreement now or at any time hereafter in force between Lessor and Guarantor
relating to the Lease shall be cumulative and not alternative and such rights, powers and remedies
shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Lessor by law.
(xii) This Guaranty applies to, inures to the benefit of and binds all parties hereto, and
their successors and assigns. This Guaranty may be assigned by Lessor voluntarily or by operation
of law.
(xiii) If Lessor desires to sell, finance or refinance the Premises, or any part thereof,
Guarantor hereby agrees to execute such reasonable documentation as shall be required by Lessor
re-affirming Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty.
(xiv) Notwithstanding any modification, discharge or extension of the guaranteed obligations
or any amendment, modification, stay or cure of Lessor’s rights which may occur in any bankruptcy
or reorganization case or proceeding concerning Lessee, whether permanent or temporary, and whether
or not assented to by Lessor, Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall be obligated hereunder to pay
and perform the guaranteed obligations and discharge its other obligations in accordance with the
terms of the guaranteed obligations and the terms of this Guaranty. Guarantor understands and
acknowledges that by virtue of this Guaranty, it has specifically assumed any and all risks of a
bankruptcy or reorganization case or proceeding with respect to Lessee. Without in any way
limiting the generality of the foregoing, any subsequent modification of the guaranteed obligations
in any reorganization case concerning Lessee shall not affect the obligation of Guarantor to pay
and perform the guaranteed obligations in accordance with their original terms. If Lessor is
required to pay, return or restore to Lessee or any other person any amounts previously paid on
account of any of the guaranteed obligations because of any bankruptcy or other voluntary or
involuntary proceeding involving Lessee, in or out of court, for the adjustment of debtor-creditor
relationships, or because of any stop notice or any other reason, the obligations of Guarantor
shall be reinstated and revived, and the rights of Lessor shall continue, with respect to such
amounts, all as though they had never been paid to Lessor.
(xv) This Guaranty shall constitute the entire agreement between Guarantor and the Lessor with
respect to the subject matter hereof. No provision of this Guaranty or right of Lessor hereunder
may be waived nor may any guarantor be released from any obligation hereunder except by a writing
duly executed by an authorized officer of Lessor.
(xvi) When the context and construction so requires, all words used in the singular herein
shall be deemed to have been used in the plural. The word “person” as used herein shall include an
individual, company, firm, association, partnership, corporation, trust or other legal entity of
any kind whatsoever.
(xvii) Should any one or more provisions of this Guaranty be determined to be illegal or
unenforceable, all other provisions shall nevertheless be effective.
(xviii) Guarantor represents that the person signing below is duly authorized to execute this
Guaranty on behalf of Guarantor and to bind Guarantor hereby.
E-3
(xix) The waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Guaranty shall not operate as a
waiver of any other breach of such provision or any other provisions hereof.
(xx) If either party hereto participates in an action against the other party arising out of
or in connection with this Guaranty, the prevailing party shall be entitled to have and recover
from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees, collection costs and other costs incurred in and
in preparation for the action.
(xxi) Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California.
(xxii) The term “Lessor” whenever used herein refers to and means the Lessor in the foregoing
Lease specifically named and also any assignee of said Lessor, whether by outright assignment or by
assignment for security, and also any successor to the interest of said Lessor or of any assignee
of such Lease or any part thereof whether by assignment or otherwise. The term “Lessee” whenever
used herein refers to and means the Lessee in the foregoing Lease specifically named and also any
assignee of said Lessee or assignee of such Lease or any part thereof, whether by assignment or
otherwise.
(xxiii) Any notice or other communication to be given under this Agreement by either party to
the other will be in writing and delivered personally or mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid
and return receipt requested, or delivered by an express overnight delivery service, charges
prepaid, or transmitted by facsimile, as follows:

forth on the return receipt; or (iii) if given by overnight courier, one (1) business day after
timely deposit with the courier; or (iv) if given by facsimile, upon receipt of the appropriate
confirmation of transmission by facsimile. The inability to deliver because of a changed address
of which no notice was given of the rejection or other refusal to accept any notice will be deemed
to be the receipt of the notice as of the date of such inability to deliver or the rejection or
refusal to accept.
(xxiv) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY(IES) AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY(IES) ON ANY MATTER
ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS GUARANTY OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES
CREATED HEREUNDER (EACH A “DISPUTE” AND COLLECTIVELY, THE “DISPUTES”).
(xxv) Consent to Judicial Reference. If and to the extent that paragraph (xxv)
immediately above is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or is
otherwise not applied by any such court, each of Landlord and Tenant hereby consents and agrees
that (a) any and all Disputes shall be heard by a referee in accordance with the general reference
provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, sitting without a jury in the County
of Los Angeles, California, (b) such referee shall hear and determine all of the issues in any
Dispute (whether of fact or of law), including issues pertaining to a “provisional remedy” as
defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.8, including without limitation,
entering restraining orders, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing temporary and permanent
injunctions and appointing receivers, and shall report a statement of decision; provided that, if
during the course of any Dispute, any party desires to seek such a “provisional remedy” at a time
when a referee has not yet been appointed or is otherwise unavailable to hear the request for such
provisional remedy, then such party may apply to the Los Angeles County Superior Court for such
provisional relief, and (c) pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 644(a), judgment
may be entered upon the decision of such referee in the same manner as if the Dispute had been
tried directly by a court. The parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable and good
faith efforts to agree upon and select such referee, provided that such referee must be a retired
California state or federal judge, and further provided that if the parties cannot agree upon a
referee, the referee shall be appointed by the Presiding Judge of the Los Angeles County Superior
Court. Each party hereto acknowledges that this consent and agreement is a material inducement to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Lease, and that each will continue to be
bound by and to rely on this consent and agreement in their related future dealings. The parties
shall share the cost of the referee and reference proceedings equally; provided
that, the referee may award attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of the referee and reference
proceeding fees and costs to the prevailing party, whereupon all referee and reference proceeding
fees and charges will be payable by the non-prevailing party (as so determined by the referee).
Each party hereto further warrants and represents that it has reviewed this consent and agreement
with legal counsel of its own choosing, or has had an opportunity to do so, and that it knowingly
and voluntarily gives this consent and enters into this agreement having had the opportunity to
consult with legal counsel. This consent and agreement is irrevocable, meaning that it may not be
modified either orally or in writing unless agreed to by Lessor, and this consent and agreement
shall apply to any subsequent amendments, renewals, supplements, or modifications to this Guaranty
or any other agreement or document entered into between the parties in connection with this
Guaranty. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as evidence of either or both
parties’ consent and agreement to have any and all Disputes heard and determined by a referee under
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638.
(xxvi) This Guaranty is solely for the benefit of Lessor and its successors and assigns and is
not intended to nor shall it be deemed to be for the benefit of any third party, including, without
limitation, Lessee.
(xxvii) Guarantor shall have no right to assign its obligations under this Guaranty without
obtaining Lessor’s prior written consent which consent may be granted or withheld in Lessor’s sole
and absolute discretion. For purposes of this Guaranty, the following shall not constitute an
