that, for purposes of this Lease, the Premises shall be deemed to have a
Rentable Area equal to the square footage specified in the Basic Lease

equal to the "Usable Area" of the Premises ("usable area" shall be computed in
accordance with the American Standard Method of Measuring Floor Area in Office
Buildings, ANSI Z65. I-1980, published by the Building Owners and Managers
Association) multiplied by the load factor set forth in the Basic Lease

below) appurtenant to such office building, together with utilities, facilities,
drives, walkways and other amenities appurtenant to or servicing such office
building. The Rentable Areas of the Building and of the office space in the
Building are set forth in the Basic Lease Information.
3. TERM. The Premises are leased for a term (the "Term") to commence and
end on the dates respectively specified in the Basic Lease Information, unless
the Term shall sooner terminate as provided in this Lease. The dates upon which
the Term shall commence and terminate pursuant to this Section 3 are called the
"Commencement Date" and the "Expiration Date," respectively.
4. POSSESSION.
(a) Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant
in its "AS-IS" condition on the Commencement Date. Landlord shall have no
obligation to remodel, alter or otherwise improve the Premises prior to or
following the Commencement Date.
(b) If, for any reason whatsoever, Landlord fails to deliver
possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date, this Lease shall
remain in full force and effect, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant
for any loss or damage resulting from such failure, provided, however, that,
Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent under Subsection 5(a) and Additional
Charges under Section 7 shall be delayed one (1) day for each day Landlord
delays in delivering possession to Tenant after the Commencement Date.
(c) Following the delivery of possession of the Premises to
Tenant, Tenant shall commence the design and construction of the Leasehold
Improvement Work in accordance with the Work Agreement attached hereto as
Exhibit C.
(d) The purpose of attached Exhibit A is only to show the
---------
approximate location of the Premises in the Building, and such Exhibit is not
meant to constitute an agreement as to the construction or Rentable Area of the
Premises, as to the specific location of elements of the Common Areas, or as to
the
-1-
specific location of the accessways to the Premises or the Building. Landlord
reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to make alterations or
additions to, to construct other improvements in, and to alter the dimensions
and appearance of the Building and the Common Areas.
5. RENT.
(a) Beginning on the Rent Commencement Date specified in the
Basic Lease Information, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as annual minimum rent for
'the Premises the sum specified in the Basic Lease Information as "Base Rent."
Base Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments on or before the Rent
Commencement Date and or before the first day of each and every successive
calendar month thereafter. Base Rent shall be paid to Landlord, without any
demand and without any deduction or offset whatsoever, in lawful money of the
United States of America at the address for Landlord specified in the Basic
Lease Information, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord
may from time to time designate by notice to Tenant.
(b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional charges all fees,
costs, expenses, charges and other mounts required to be paid by Tenant under
this Lease other than Base Rent ("Additional Charges"). Additional Charges shall
be payable to Landlord at the place where the Base Rent is payable, landlord
shall have the same remedies for a default in the payment of Additional Charges
as for a default in the payment of Base Rent. The terms "Base Rent" and
"Additional Charges" are sometimes collectively referred to herein as "Rent".
(c) In addition, upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord the sum (if any) specified in the Basic Lease Information as
"Advance Rent." Advance Rent shall be applied to the first amounts of Base Rent
due under this Section 5.
(d) If more than one (1) time during any twelve (12) consecutive
month period Tenant shall fail to pay to Landlord any Rent within ten (10) days
after the date on which such Rent is due and payable, then for each such
additional failure to pay any Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late payment
charge equal to four percent (4%) of the unpaid amount of such Rent, to
compensate Landlord for Landlord's additional administrative and other costs
resulting from each such additional failure by Tenant. By way of example, if
Tenant shall fail to pay an installment of Base Rent within the time period
described above, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late payment charge of $782
(viz. 10% of $7,820). This late payment charge shall be paid to Landlord as
Additional Charges together with the unpaid amount of such Rent. Any payment of
Rent to Landlord following service upon Tenant of a three (3) day notice to pay
Rent or quit shall be in the form of cash or a certified or cashier's check.
6. TENANT'S SHARE OF EXPENSES AND TAXES.
(a) During the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional
Charges (i) Tenant's Expense Share (as defined below) of the total dollar
increase, if any, in Expenses (as defined below) attributable to each
Computation Year (as defined below) over Base Expenses (as defined below) and
(ii) Tenant's Tax Share (as defined below) of the total dollar increase, if any,
in Taxes (as defined below) attributable to each Computation Year over Base
Taxes (as defined below).
(b) During the last month of the Base Year and each Computation
Year or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall give to Tenant notice
of Landlord's estimate of the total amounts that will be payable by Tenant under
Subsection 7(a) for the following Computation Year. On or before the fast day of
each month during the following Computation Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
one-twelfth (1/12) of such estimated amounts, provided that if Landlord fails to
give such notice in the last month of the prior Computation Year, then Tenant
shall continue to pay on the basis of the prior Computation Year's estimate
until the first day of the calendar month next succeeding the date when such
notice is given by Landlord. If at
-2-
any time or times Landlord determines that the amounts payable under Subsection
7(a) for the current Computation Year will vary from Landlord's estimate given
to Tenant, Landlord, by notice to Tenant, may revise the estimate for such
Computation Year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such Computation Year
shall be based upon such revised estimate.
(c) Following the end of each Computation Year, Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant a statement ("Expense Statement") of amounts payable under
Subsection 7(a) for such Computation Year, prepared by Landlord and audited by
an independent public accounting firm designated by Landlord. Upon written
request given by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the delivery
of any Expense Statement, Landlord shall allow Tenant to review in Landlord's
office reasonable back-up documentation for the Expenses included in such
Expense Statement. If such Expense Statement shows an amount owing by Tenant
that is less than the payments for such Computation Year previously made by
Tenant, and if no Event of Default (as defined below) is outstanding at the time
such statement is delivered, Landlord shall credit such amount to the next
payments of Rent falling due under this Lease or, if the Term has expired, shall
refund such amount to Tenant. If such Expense Statement shows an amount owing by
Tenant that is more than the payments for such Computation Year previously made
by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days
after delivery of such statement. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant under
this Subsection 7(c) shall survive the Expiration Date, and, if the Expiration
Date is a day other than the last day of a Computation Year, the adjustment in
Kent pursuant to this Section 7 for the Computation Year in which the Expiration
Date occurs shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days in such
Computation Year preceding the Expiration Date bears to 365.

meanings specified:
(i) "Expenses" shall mean (A) all costs of management,
operation, maintenance and repair of the Building, including, without
limitation, costs for janitorial, maintenance, security and other service

balance shall be adjusted as of the effective date of any change in such

five (5) business days of receipt of Tenant's initial notice of the nature and

reasonably require Tenant to agree to remove all or any part of such Alterations
no later than the Expiration Date and to reimburse Landlord for any reasonable
expenses incurred by Landlord in reviewing the plans and specifications,
including, without limitation, the reasonable costs of any outside consultants

(e) If Landlord approves the proposed Alterations, the Alterations
shall be made in accordance with the detailed plans and specifications approved

Tenant's notice to Landlord under Section 10(a) and with any other reasonable
requirements imposed by Landlord. The Alterations shall be performed by Landlord

sole expense, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all expenses incurred by
Landlord with respect to such Alterations: including, without limitation, a

inspect such Alterations prior to or after their completion. All Alterations

event Tenant shall by the Expiration Date remove such Alterations and restore
the Premises to their condition prior to the installation of such Alterations.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section II(a), Landlord shall
repair and maintain the structural portions of the Building, including the basic
plumbing, heating, air conditioning, ventilation and electrical systems,

Tenant's, agents, servants, contractors, employees or invitees, in which case
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable cost of such maintenance and repair.
Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any such repair or to
perform any such maintenance unless Landlord receives notice of the need for
such repair or maintenance from Tenant and fails to make such repair or perform
such maintenance within a reasonable period of time following such notice by
Tenant. Rent shall not xxxxx nor shall Landlord be liable as a result of any
injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of any

liens arising out of any act or omission, of Tenant, including, without
limitation, any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by

Tenant shall give to Landlord at least ten (10) days' prior notice of the date
of commencement of the Leasehold Improvement Work or any Alterations on the
Premises in order to permit the posting of such notices by Landlord. Landlord

expense, provide to Landlord a lien and completion bond in form and substance
satisfactory to Landlord in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%)

liability for mechanics' and materialmen's liens and to insure completion of
work.

or any portion of the Premises to be occupied by anyone other than Tenant,
sublet all or any portion of the Premises or transfer a portion of Tenant's
interest in or rights with respect to Tenant's leasehold estate hereunder

Sublease the Premises to an entity that controls, is controlled by or is under
common control with, Tenant (hereinafter referred to as an "Affiliate"). No
Assignment of this Lease or Sublease of the Premises to an Affiliate shall

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS WARNING: Current and future federal, state and local laws
and regulations may require the clean-up of such toxic, hazardous or undesirable
materials at the expense of those persons who in the past, present or future
have had any interest in the Property including, but not limited to, current,
past and future owners and users of the Property. Landlord and Tenant are
advised to consult with independent legal counsel of their choice or other
experts, to determine their potential liability.
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT: On July 26, 1991, the federal legislation known
as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. The purpose of
the ADA is to integrate persons with disabilities into the economic and social
mainstream of American life. Title III of the ADA applies to landlords and
tenants of "places of public accommodation" and "commercial facilities," and
requires that places of public accommodation undertake "readily achievable"
removal of communication and access barriers to the disabled. This requirement

BIOMARIN PHARMACEUTICAL INC.
Exhibit C
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED FOR 000 XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX.
We plan to expand the existing laboratory space into the adjacent vacant suite.
This will necessitate that we remove and/or move the existing office walls,
resurface some of the floor space, add two floor drains and add 2/3 partitions
around the perimeter. All of the laboratory area will be upgraded to strict drug
production standards required by the FDA making it extremely valuable property
in Marin county as there is currently has a shortage of good lab space. We
estimate that this facilities work will cost BioMarin about $300,000. An overall
renovation plan for the space is attached. We also may need to add a second HVAC
system, roof mounted, in order to provide adequate room ventilation. We
anticipate using no hazardous chemicals in the facilities and waste will be
strictly monitored as required by the FDA.
This will be a very clean operation which we feel will add significant value to
the property. As some of the modifications that we are planning will result in
permanent changes to the floor plan, utilities, plumbing, and ventilation
systems, if and when we do vacate the premises we will not be converting the
renovated space back to the existing office space configuration. Therefore the
owners of the building should consider the addition of this laboratory space as
a permanent modification to the building. Based on the current 100% occupancy
rate on similar laboratory space in Marin country we believe our renovations
will add considerable value to the property. When and if we move from the
facility we will agree however to remove all laboratory equipment.
Please let me know if you have any concerns or questions that have not been
addressed.
We agree to the above terms:

installation of the laboratory fixtures and equipment.
