FOURTH AMENDMENT TO SUBLEASE BETWEEN REGEN BIOLOGICS, INC. AND GENITOPE CORPORATION
Exhibit 10.1
THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT TO SUBLEASE (this “Fourth Amendment”) is made and entered into as of the
25th day of May, 2006, by and between REGEN BIOLOGICS, INC., a Delaware corporation
(“Regen”), and GENITOPE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Subtenant”).
R
E C I T A L S
This Fourth Amendment is made and entered into with reference to the following recitals:
A. Regen and Subtenant entered into a Sublease dated August 3, 1999, which was amended by a
Second Amendment to Sublease Agreement dated October 1, 2000, which amendment was styled as a
“second amendment” because Subtenant and Regen previously agreed to extend the term of the Sublease
and such extension was treated as a “first amendment”, as further amended by a Second Amendment to
Sublease dated February 25, 2002, as further amended by a Third Amendment to Sublease dated May
16, 2003 (collectively, as amended, the “Sublease”), for the sublease of approximately 7,655 square
feet of rentable area and 603 square feet of rentable common area (i.e. Subtenant’s share of common
area between Regen and Subtenant that is rentable area under the Master Lease) (the “Subleased
Premises”) in the building commonly known as “Building 12” of Seaport Center, and located at ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.
B. Regen and Subtenant wish to execute this Fourth Amendment to provide for an extension of
the term of the Sublease and to modify the base rent, operating expense and other related
provisions of the Sublease.
Sublease. Commencing on January 1, 2007, the Subtenant will have the ongoing right to extend
the term of the Sublease for up to a total of three (3) one month extension periods by providing
written notice to Regen not less than forty five (45) days in advance of the then current Sublease
expiration date. In no event will the term of the Sublease extend beyond March 31, 2007.
Monthly Rate Per Rentable | ||||||||
Period | Square Foot | Base Monthly Rent | ||||||

$1.75 | $14,451.50 |
If the Modified Rent Commencement Date and/or the last day of the Sublease term do not fall on
the first day of a month or the last day of a month, as applicable, the rent payable hereunder will
be pro-rated on a per day basis based on the actual number of days in such month. Commencing on
the Modified Rent Commencement Date, the foregoing rent payable by Subtenant under the terms of the
Sublease (as modified by the terms of this Fourth Amendment) shall be payable on a triple-net basis
and will not include any costs for real property taxes, Operating Expenses (as defined in the
Master Lease), janitorial services, utilities, garbage removal and the like, which costs will be
paid by Subtenant in accordance with the terms of Section 5 below.
(a) Expense Calculation. The expense shall be calculated by Regen, and Subtenant’s pro rata
share shall be invoiced to Subtenant on a monthly basis. Subtenant shall owe and pay to Regen its
pro-rata share of the Expense, such Expense to be calculated as follows: actual monthly Operating
Expenses billed to Regen by the Master Landlord, plus actual monthly operating expenses incurred by
Regen (including, without limitation, all Operating Expenses actually incurred by Regen), but not
billed by the Master Landlord, in relation to the Master Premises rented by Regen pursuant to the
Master Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Fourth Amendment,
Subtenant shall not be obligated to pay any monthly operating expenses or Operating Expense not
applicable to the Subleased Premises. The monthly expenses referred to herein will include
estimates of expenses reasonably anticipated to be incurred by Regen but not billed by Master
Lessor and Operating Expenses for such period, which will be adjusted at the end of each year
according to the Master Lease. Once the adjustments are received from the Master Landlord, Regen
shall provide a revised
- 2 -
statement to Subtenant showing such adjustments, together with, as appropriate, (i) an invoice
for the remaining amount due from Subtenant to Regen or (ii) a check for the refund amount due from
Regen to Subtenant. All such monthly invoices will be paid by Subtenant, together with the next
monthly Rent payment, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after receipt by Subtenant of
such invoices.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Sublease, this Fourth Amendment
or the Master Lease, within ninety (90) days after receipt by Subtenant of Regen’s statement of the
Expense for any prior calendar year during the Term, Subtenant shall have the right, at Subtenant’s
sole cost and expense, upon ten (10) business days prior written notice, to inspect the applicable
books of Regen during the business hours of Regen at Regen’s office in the Building, or, at Regen’s
option, such other location as Regen reasonably may specify, for the purpose of verifying the
information contained in the statement, provided that the party inspecting such books is an
employee of a reputable accounting firm that provides a full range of accounting services that is
hired on a per-hour basis (and not on a contingency basis), and Subtenant uses reasonable efforts
to maintain the confidentiality of such audit and the results thereof. Unless Subtenant asserts
specific errors within ninety (90) days after receipt of the statement, the statement shall be
deemed correct as between Regen and Subtenant.
- 3 -
been originally set forth in the Sublease as the expiration date of the term of the Sublease
with respect to the Recaptured Premises, and (b) as to all portions of the Subleased Premises other
than the Recaptured Premises, this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect except that the
Rent, additional rent and the Expense payable pursuant to Section 5 of this Fourth Amendment shall
be reduced proportionately. If the Recaptured Premises does not constitute the entire Subleased
Premises, Regen shall pay all expenses of construction reasonably required to permit the operation
of the Recaptured Premises separate from the balance of the Subleased Premises.
- 4 -
unreasonably withheld by Regen. In addition, Regen shall promptly submit such proposed list
to Master Landlord and request Master Landlord’s approval of same. Subtenant shall promptly
reimburse Regen for all costs and expenses incurred by Regen as a result of Regen submitting such
proposed list to Master Landlord for review. If Regen and Master Landlord consent to the proposed
list, then provided that Subtenant complies with the terms of the Master Lease (as incorporated by
the Sublease) related to such Permitted Hazardous Materials, Subtenant shall have the right to
bring such listed materials onto the Subleased Premises. However, until Regen and Master Landlord
approve such proposed list in accordance with the terms of this Fourth Amendment, Subtenant shall
not have any right to bring any Hazardous Materials onto the Subleased Premises. Regen shall not
be liable or responsible for Master Landlord’s failure to review and/or approve any proposed list
of Subtenant’s Permitted Hazardous Materials from Subtenant and if Master Landlord fails to review
or approve such list, the Sublease will continue in full force and effect without offset or
abatement of any sums payable by Subtenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in the Sublease, the Master Lease or this Fourth Amendment, Regen shall protect, indemnify, defend
upon demand with counsel reasonably acceptable to Subtenant, and hold harmless Subtenant and its
officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all liabilities, losses, claims,
actual out-of-pocket damages (excluding punitive or consequential damages (i.e., lost profits, lost
business opportunity), interest, penalties, fines, monetary sanctions, attorneys’ fees, experts’
fees, court costs, remediation costs, investigation costs, and other expenses arising from and
after the commencement date of the Sublease to the extent caused solely by the use, storage,
treatment, transportation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises by
Regen or Regen’s agents, employees or contractors.
