Landlord shall purchase the Real Property and close escrow thereon on or before January 15, 1995 (“Acquisition Date”).
1
1.4.1 Lot Line Adjustment. In order for the Real Property to be configured as desired by Landlord and Tenant, a Lot Line Adjustment (“Lot Line Adjustment”) adjusting the lot lines of the Real Property was processed by Landlord and approved by the City of San Diego as evidenced by that certain Parcel Map No. 17448 (the “Parcel Map”) , recorded among the Real property Records of San Diego County on November 17, 1994. Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein is a copy of the Parcel Map, showing the Real Property as Parcel 3 thereon.
1.4.2 Termination of Lease.
1.4.2.1 This Lease shall be terminable by Tenant, upon notice to Landlord, within ten (10) days after the Acquisition Date if Landlord does not close the escrow for the purchase of the Real Property by the Acquisition Date pursuant to the Contract, in which case this Lease will be of no further force or effect.
1.4.2.2 This Lease shall be terminable by Landlord, upon notice to Tenant, within ten (10) days after the Acquisition Date if Landlord does not close the escrow for the purchase of the Real Property by the Acquisition Date pursuant to the Contract due solely to Chevron’s non-performance under the Contract, in which case this Lease will be of no further force or effect.
1.4.2.3 Tenant may (but shall not be obligated to) terminate this Lease if Landlord does not obtain a permit to construct the foundation of the building to be located on the Real Property (the “Foundation Permit”) from the City of San Diego on or before January 15, 1995 (“Permit Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant has not adhered to the time schedule set forth in the Work Letter Agreement attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit “C” (“Work Letter”) for approval of the Preliminary Shell Plans and Final Drawings (as defined in the Work Letter) , then the Permit Date will be extended one (1) day for each day of delay in Tenant’s approval of such Plans and/or Drawings.
1.4.2.4 Tenant may (but shall not be obligated to) terminate this Lease if Landlord does not deliver to Tenant, on or before December 15, 1994, evidence reasonably satisfactory to Tenant that Landlord has obtained an irrevocable commitment for construction financing (the “Construction Financing”) from an institutional lender, for construction of the Building. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord in obtaining the Construction Financing and making any reasonable changes to this Lease required by the construction lender for the Construction Financing, provided such changes do not materially alter Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligations hereunder and do not materially reduce Tenant’s benefits hereunder. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall be entitled
2
to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.4.2.4 by delivering to Tenant, on or before December 15, 1994, a letter from Slough Parks Incorporated or SDK Incorporated (or one of their affiliated entities), which states that such entity has committed to provide or has obtained an irrevocable third-party commitment to provide the Construction Financing.
1.4.2.5 Tenant may (but shall not be obligated to) terminate this Lease if the entire Premises and all improvements to be constructed thereon in accordance with the terms of this Lease are not substantially complete by September 1, 1996.
1.4.2.6 If either party elects to terminate this Lease as provided in this Section 1.4.2.6 this Lease will be of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding any such termination, the obligations under this Section 1.4.2.6 and Sections 5.4 and 7.2 below shall survive the termination of this Lease. If the Lease is terminated pursuant to Sections 1.4.2.1, 1.4.2.2, 1.4.2.3, or 1.4.2.4, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all direct, out of pocket costs incurred by Tenant in connection with this Lease prior to the termination, which in no event shall exceed Eighty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($80,000), for the period of time before December 15, 1994, and shall not exceed One Hundred Fifty-five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($155,000) if termination occurs thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the termination occurs because either (i) Landlord does not close escrow for the purchase of the Real Property by the Acquisition Date due solely to Chevron’s nonperformance under the Contract; or (ii) Landlord is unable to obtain the Foundation Permit by the Permit Date because Tenant’s intended use of the Premises is deemed by the City of San Diego (or any other government agency having or asserting jurisdiction over the permitting process) to be a non-conforming use, then Landlord shall not be obligated to reimburse Tenant for all costs incurred by Tenant in connection with this Lease.
1.5 Premises. As used herein, the term “Premises” shall mean the Real Property, all easements, rights-of-way, rights, privileges, benefits and appurtenances belonging to the Real Property, and all improvements located on the Real Property, including, without limitation, a building to be constructed consisting of approximately eighty-two thousand three hundred ninety (82,390) gross square feet (the “Building”) and related parking facilities and peripheral structures as shown on the preliminary plans and specifications for the Building Shell and Landlord’s Work (as such terms are defined in the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit “C”) prepared by Xxxxx Architects and dated November 21, 1994, which have been mutually approved by the parties (the “Preliminary Shell Plans”), a copy of which shall be attached hereto as Exhibit “D” and incorporated herein. The general space plan, drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements (as such term is defined
3
in the Work Letter) prepared by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx dated November 23, 1994, (the “Preliminary Plans”) have also been mutually approved by the parties. The final plans for the Building Shell and Landlord’s Work, and for the Tenant Improvements (for both Phase I and Phase II) shall be agreed to by the parties in accordance with the Work Letter.
1.5.1 Phases. The Premises will be constructed in two phases, with the first phase (“Phase I”) to include the Building Shell, Landlord’s Improvements and the Tenant Improvements for all of the office space, research and development space, manufacturing support space and all other areas of the Building which must be constructed in order for Tenant to occupy the foregoing, which Phase shall consist of approximately fifty thousand (50,000) gross square feet located primarily on the second floor of the Building (but with a portion located on the first floor of the Building). The second phase (“Phase II”) shall include all the remaining Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, the manufacturing space, and shall consist of approximately thirty-two thousand three hundred ninety (32,390) gross square feet located on the first floor of the Building, all as depicted on the Preliminary Shell Plans attached as Exhibit “D”.
As soon as reasonably possible after substantial completion of the Building and Tenant Improvements described herein for each phase, Landlord and Tenant shall confirm the measurements of the Gross Area of that phase of the Premises by Landlord measuring the Building in accordance with BOMA standards ANSIZ65.1 - 1980. If Tenant fails to dispute Landlord’s measurements within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives the Landlord’s measurements, Tenant shall have waived any right to dispute Landlord’s measurement and Landlord’s measurements of Gross Area shall be conclusively deemed to be correct. If Tenant disputes the Landlord’s measurements, Tenant shall, pending resolution thereof, nevertheless tender Rent hereunder based on the square footage specified by Landlord and Tenant shall submit Tenant’s measurements and their dispute to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives Landlord’s measurements. Landlord and Tenant shall thereafter attempt to resolve any dispute within ten (10) days. If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree on the measurement of Gross Area within said ten (10) days, Landlord and Tenant shall submit their dispute to a third party acceptable the Landlord and Tenant and familiar with BOMA standards, who shall measure the applicable phase of the Premises and submit the calculation of Gross Area to Landlord and Tenant within ten (10) days. The determination of the Gross Area by said third person shall be binding upon the parties. The square footage of each phase of the Premises shall be confirmed by the parties by executing the confirmation of Gross Area in form of Exhibit “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes, within five (5) days after determination of the Gross
4
Area by either Landlord and Tenant or a third party or within twenty (20) days following receipt of Landlord’s measurements by Tenant is Tenant does not dispute such measurements. If Tenant has paid Rent based on Landlord’s measurements and the Gross Area is less than Landlord’s measurement, any excess Rent paid by Tenant shall be credited to the next Rent due and owing.
1.5.2 Completion of Premises. Tenant has entered into this Lease in expectation that Phase I of the Premises will be substantially completed by August 1, 1995 (“Phase I Outside Date”) and that Phase II of the Premises will be substantially completed by March 1, 1996 (“Phase II Outside Date”).
1.6 Lease Term. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 1.6.1 below, the term of the Lease for the portion of the Premises leased as Phase I (the “Phase I Premises”) shall commence (the “Phase I Commencement Date”) on the later of: (a) occupancy of the Phase I Premises by Tenant following substantial completion, of the Building Shell, Landlord’s Work and the Tenant Improvements for the Phase I Premises (which occupancy shall occur no later than five (5) days after substantial completion thereof), or (b) August 1, 1995. The term of the Lease for the portion of the Premises leased as Phase II (the “Phase II Premises”) shall commence (the “Phase II Commencement Date”); on the later of: (a) occupancy of the Phase II Premises by Tenant following substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements for the Phase II Premises (which occupancy shall occur no later than five (5) days after substantial completion thereof), or (b) January 1, 1996. The term of the Lease for all of the Premises shall end twenty (20) years following the Phase I Commencement Date, or approximately August 1, 2015 (“Lease Term”) unless extended pursuant to Section 2.5 below. Landlord acknowledges that substantial completion of the Phase I Premises by August 1, 1995 and the Phase II Premises by March 1, 1996, is crucial to the operation of Tenant’s business. Subject to delays caused by Tenant and delays outside the control of Landlord, as described in the Work Letter, if Landlord shall fail to substantially complete the Tenant Improvements for the applicable phase by August 1, 1995 and March 1, 1996, respectively, Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent (as defined in Section 4.1 below) as to that particular phase, after the Phase I Commencement Date or the Phase II Commencement Date, as applicable, shall be postponed one (1) day for each day after August 1, 1995 or March 1, 1996, respectively, that substantial completion of the applicable portion of the Premises is delayed.
1.6.1 Delivery of Premises. If the Tenant Improvements for a portion of the Phase I Premises or the Phase II Premises are substantially complete prior to August 1, 1995, or March 1, 1996, as applicable, Tenant, with the consent of Landlord, may, but is not obligated to, occupy the portions of the Phase I Premises or the Phase II Premises for which the Tenant Improvements
5
have been substantially completed. In such event, the Commencement Date for the Phase I Premises or the Phase II Premises, as applicable, shall be the date of occupancy of the substantially completed portion of the Tenant Improvements first occupied by Tenant, but Tenant shall pay the Basic Monthly Rent only on the gross square feet of those portions of the Phase I Premises or Phase II Premises, as applicable, which have been substantially completed and which are actually occupied until such time as the remaining Phase I Premises or Phase II Premises have been substantially completed and occupied pursuant to Section 1.6 above.
1.6.2 Punch List Items. Prior to Tenant taking occupancy of any portion of the Premises pursuant to Section 1.6 above, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing when Landlord considers the Tenant Improvements (as defined in the Work Letter) to be substantially complete and Tenant shall, as soon as possible but not later than three (3) days after notice of substantial completion is received by Tenant from Landlord, conduct a walk-through inspection of the applicable phase of the Premises (or portion thereof) with Landlord. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within two (2) days of completing said walk-through inspection of all learns of Tenant Improvements which Tenant reasonably determines must be completed or corrected (“Punch List Items”). Following preparation of the Punch List Items, Tenant shall take occupancy. Landlord shall complete repairs of the Punch List Items within forty-five (45) days of receipt of Tenant’s notice of Punch List Items. If Landlord fails to complete repairs of the Punch List items within said 45 days, neither the Commencement Date nor the Lease Term shall be extended, but Tenant shall be entitled to complete the repairs at Landlord’s cost and may offset the cost of such repairs from any Rent thereafter due and owing to Landlord. Any dispute regarding the completion of the Punch List Items shall be subject to arbitration under the American Arbitration Association rules.
1.7 Permitted Uses. The Premises shall be used as a medical research lab with light production and manufacturing of drug formulations, together with incidental office and storage uses and all other uses permitted by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all uses of the Premises shall be in accordance with (i) the City of San Diego’s Scientific Research Zoning Ordinance, (ii) the Xxxxxx Xxxxx Science Center Planned Industrial Development (“PID”), (iii) any covenants, conditions and restrictions for the Project recorded as of the Effective Date together with all amendments thereto (so long as such amendments do not materially adversely impair Tenant’s ability to use the Premises in accordance with the permitted uses described in the first sentence of this Section 1.7), and (iv) applicable governmental rules and regulations. In no event shall any use of the Premises involve any activity not covered by forms of insurance required to be maintained under this
6
Lease. Tenant shall obtain and maintain at its sole cost and expense, all governmental approvals and/or permits required for operation of Tenant’s business as described in this Section 1.7, including but not limited to those needed in connection with the presence of Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 5.4.6 hereof) in, on or about the Premises.
1.8 Rent and Other Charges Payable by Tenant.
1.8.1 Basic Monthly Rent. The basic monthly rent for the Premises (“Basic Monthly Rent”) shall be the sum of TWO AND 25/100 DOLLARS ($2.25) per gross square foot of the Building per month for the first twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, and shall thereafter be adjusted as set forth in Section 3.2 below. The obligation of Tenant to pay Basic Monthly Rent shall commence on the Commencement Date for the applicable phase and shall continue uninterrupted throughout the remainder of the Lease Term. When Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent commences for the Phase II Premises, the Basic Monthly Rent for the Phase II Premises shall be calculated at the same rate per square foot of Gross Area as used in calculating the Phase I Premises, and it shall be adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as the Rent is adjusted for the Phase I Premises, regardless of when Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent commences for the Phase II Premises.

LEASE TERM
2.1 Commencement Date. The Commencement Date shall be the date specified in Section 1.6 above for the beginning of the term of the Lease, unless advanced or delayed under any provision of this Lease.
2.2 Lease of Premises for Lease Term. Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Premises from Landlord, in phases as described above, for the Lease Term. The Lease Term is for the period stated in Section 1.6 above, unless the beginning or end of the Lease Term is changed under any provision of this Lease.
2.3 Holding Over. Tenant shall vacate the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, unless Tenant has exercised its Extension Option (as defined in section 2.5 below) or Landlord and Tenant have otherwise agreed in writing to extend the Lease Term. If Tenant, remains in possession of all or any part of the Premises after the expiration of the Lease Term and Extension thereof (as defined in Section 2.5 below), such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only and not a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case, Basic Monthly Rent then in effect shall be increased to an amount equal to 125% of the Basic Monthly Rent then in effect and other monetary sums due hereunder shall be payable in the amount and at the time specified in this Lease; and such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein, except that the month-to-month tenancy will be terminable upon thirty (30) days written notice given at any time by either party. In the event of any holding over without Landlord’s prior consent, Tenant shall
8
indemnify Landlord against all claims for damages by any other tenant to whom Landlord may have leased all or any portion of the Premises commencing upon or after the expiration of the Lease Term and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for and indemnify Landlord against all costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages and losses incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s delay in vacating the Premises.
2.4 Surrender of Premises. Upon the termination of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition specified in Section 6.5 below.
2.5 Option to Extend or Renew. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant two (2) consecutive five (5) year options (each, an “Extension Option”) to extend the Lease Term (each, an “Extension”) after the initial Lease Term expires. Each Extension shall be on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, but at an increased Base Monthly Rent as set forth in Section 3.3 below.
2.5.1 Notice. Each Extension Option shall be exercised only by written notice (“Notice of Exercise”) delivered to Landlord at least six (6) months before the expiration of the Lease Term with respect to the first Extension Option, or, if the first Extension Option has been exercised, at least six (6) months before the expiration of the Lease Term as extended by the first Extension Option. If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord its Notice of Exercise of the Extension Option within the prescribed time period, such Extension Option and any further Extension Option shall lapse, and there shall be no further right to extend the Lease Term. In addition, Tenant may deliver to Landlord a Notice of Intent pursuant to Section 3.3.1 below. Tenant’s failure to timely deliver a Notice of Intent shall not affect Tenant’s right to exercise the Extension Option; provided, however, that if the Notice of Intent was not timely delivered but the Notice of Exercise was timely delivered, Tenant shall be obligated to pay an increased Basic Monthly Rent based on the fair market value of the Premises determined in the manner described in Section 3.3 below. In the event that Tenant fails to deliver or fails to timely deliver a Notice of Intent, but timely delivers a Notice of Exercise, then, for purposes of determining the time periods set forth in Section 3.3, the term “Notice of Exercise” shall be substituted for the term “Notice of Intent” in the second and third sentences of Section 3.3.1, Section 3.3.2 and Section 3.3.7.
2.5.2 Conditions. Each Option shall be exercisable by Tenant on the express condition that at the time of the exercise, and at all times prior to the commencement of the Extension, Tenant shall not be in default under any of the provisions of the Lease after any applicable grace period, nor

shall there be a condition which, after notice or passage of time (or both), shall constitute a default.
2.6 Personal Options. Each Extension Option is personal to the Tenant named in Section 1.3 of the Lease and cannot be transferred without Landlord’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord consents to a sublease of the Premises or an assignment of this Lease, each Extension Option may be transferred to Tenant’s sublessee or assignee, at Tenant’s election. The foregoing notwithstanding, at Landlord’s election, Landlord may require that the applicable Extension Option be exercised for the entire Premises or none of the Premises.

BASIC MONTHLY RENT
3.1 Time and Manner of Payment. Upon the Commencement Date and each month thereafter Tenant shall pay Landlord the Basic Monthly Rent in the amount stated in Subsection 1.8.1 above (prorated for any partial month at the beginning or end of the Lease Term) in United States currency, in advance, on or before the first day of each month without offset, deduction or prior demand. The Basic Monthly Rent shall be payable at Landlord’s address or at such other place as Landlord may designate in writing.
3.2 Rental Adjustments. The Basic Monthly Rent during the term of this Lease shall be adjusted as set forth below.
3.2.1 Rent Increases. The Basic Monthly Rent shall be increased on the first day of each Lease Year (as defined below) commencing with the second (2nd) Lease Year by three and five/tenths percent (3.5%) of the previous Lease Year’s Basic Monthly Rent. As used herein, “Lease Year” is defined to mean (i) the fractional calendar month, if any, at the commencement of the Lease Term and the next succeeding twelve (12) full calendar months, and (ii) each period of twelve (12) full calendar months thereafter during the Lease Term. For the purpose of calculating Basic Monthly Rent increase, when Basic Monthly Rent commences for the Phase II Premises, itshall be calculated as if the Phase II Commencement Date were the same as the Phase I Commencement Date.
3.3 Basic Monthly Rent During Extension. If and when Tenant exercises its Extension Option to extend the Lease Term, the Basic Monthly Rent on the first day of such Extension shall be the “fair rental value” (as defined in Section 3.3.5 below) of the Premises, which fair rental value is to be determined as set forth in this Section 3.3, but in no event less than the Basic Monthly Rent then being paid at the end of the Lease Term or Extension then in effect, as appropriate.
10
3.3.1 Notice of Intent. Not sooner than one hundred twenty (120) days nor later than eighty-five (85) days prior to the date upon which a Notice of Exercise for an Option may be delivered (“Exercise Date”), Tenant shall deliver a written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intension to exercise the Option (“Notice of Intent”). Within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Notice of Intent, Landlord and Tenant shall meet in an effort to negotiate, in good faith, the fair rental value of the Premises as of the date when the Extension would commence (“Rental Adjustment Date”) . If Landlord and Tenant have not agreed upon the fair rental value of the Premises within ten (10) days of the Landlord’s receipt of a Notice of Intent, the fair rental value shall be determined by appraisal in the manner described below.
3.3.2 Appraisal Procedure. Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree in good faith upon a single appraiser within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of a Notice of Intent. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a single appraiser within such time period, then Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one appraiser within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of a Notice of Intent. If, within the ten (10) days thereafter, the two appointed appraisers cannot agree upon selection of a third appraiser, then Landlord shall submit the appointment of a third appraiser to the American Arbitration Association, who shall appoint an appraiser meeting the requirements of Section 3.3.4 below, as the third appraiser. Notwithstanding any delays caused by the appraisal process or the selection of the appraiser(s) (including, without limitation, the time period, required to appoint a third appraiser), no extension of the final date upon which Tenant may deliver a Notice of Exercise shall be permitted.
3.3.3 Selection. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint its appraiser within the prescribed time period, the single appraiser appointed shall determine the fair rental value of the Premises. If both parties fail to appoint appraisers within the prescribed time periods, then the first appraiser thereafter selected by a party shall determine the fair rental value of the Premises.
3.3.4 Costs and Qualifications. Each party shall bear the cost of its own appraiser and the parties shall share equally the cost of the single or third appraiser, if applicable. All appraisers so designated herein shall have at least five (5) years experience in the appraisal of commercial/industrial real property in the San Diego area in the SR zone and shall be members of professional organizations such as MAI or an equivalent.
3.3.5 Fair Rental Value Defined. The term “fair rental value” shall mean the price that a ready and willing
11
comparable, new non-renewal, non-equity tenant would pay, as of the applicable Rental Adjustment Date, as Basic Monthly Rent (giving appropriate consideration to the annual rental rate per gross square foot of buildable area and the allocation of expenses between Landlord and Tenant) to a ready and willing landlord of property comparable to the Premises in both class and location for a term comparable to the applicable Extension period if such property were exposed for lease on the open market for a reasonable period of time, taking into account all of the purposes for which such property may be used, including free rent, tenant improvement costs or similar leasing expenses being offered in the market as of the applicable Rental Adjustment Date (for previously leased space), including, without limitation, commissions which a landlord would typically incur, and considering other generally applicable terms and conditions such as length of term, size of premises, level and quality of services to the Premises, the allocation of expenses therefor between Landlord and Tenant, tenant improvement allowances and building standard items, for a comparable previously leased space.
3.3.6 Determination of Value. If a single appraiser is chosen, then such appraiser shall determine the fair rental value of the Premises. Otherwise, the fair rental value of the Premises shall be the arithmetic average of the two (2) of the three (3) appraisals which are closest in amount, and the third appraisal shall be disregarded.
3.3.7 Exercise of Option. Landlord and Tenant shall instruct the appraiser(s) to complete their determination of the fair rental value not later than fifty-five (55) days after Landlord’s receipt of a Notice of Intent. When the fair rental value of the Premises is determined, Landlord shall deliver notice thereof to Tenant. Thereafter, Tenant may, but is not obligated to, in its sole and absolute discretion, considering the fair rental value determined as aforesaid, deliver its Notice of Exercise as described in Section 2.5 above. If the Notice of Intent was not timely delivered but the Notice of Exercise was timely delivered, Tenant shall be obligated to pay an increased Basic Monthly Rent based on the fair market value of the Premises determined in the manner described in this Section 3.3.
3.3.8 Extension. During an Extension, after the Basic Monthly Rent is determined as set forth above, the Basic Monthly Rent during the remainder of the Extension shall be increased on the first day of the first month following the twelve (12) month anniversary date of the applicable Extension and on every twelve (12) month anniversary thereafter during the Extension (“Adjustment Date”) pursuant to Section 3.3.9 below.
12
3.3.9 Cost or Living Increases. The Basic Monthly Rent during any Extension shall be increased on the Adjustment Date in proportion to the increase in the Index (defined below) which has occurred between the month in which the previous Lease Year’s adjustment was made and the Adjustment Date; provided, however, that the first such adjustment shall be in proportion to the increase in the Index which has occurred between the first month of the Extension and the month in which the Basic Monthly Rent is to be increased. The foregoing notwithstanding, in no event shall the increase in the Basic Monthly Rent on each Adjustment Date be less than three percent (3%) or greater than eight percent (8%) in any Lease Year regardless of the change in the Index. Landlord shall notify Tenant of each increase by delivering a written statement setting forth the Index for the previous year’s adjustment month or for the first month of the Extension, whichever is appropriate, the Index for the month in which the Basic Monthly Rent is to be increased, the percentage increase between those two Indices, and the new amount of the Basic Monthly Rent.
3.3.10 Effective Date. Tenant shall pay the new Basic Monthly Rent from the Adjustment Date until the next Adjustment Date. Landlord’s notice described in Section 3.3.9 above may be given after the Adjustment Date since the Index for the appropriate month may be unavailable on the Adjustment Date. In such event, Tenant shall pay Landlord the necessary rental adjustment for the months elapsed between the Adjustment Date of the increase and Landlord’s notice of such increase within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s notice.
3.3.11 Index. Adjustments shall be made utilizing the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, Subgroup “All Items” for the Los Angeles-Anaheim-Riverside Statistical Area on the basis of 1982-84 = 100 (the “Index”). If the format or components of the Index are materially changed after the Effective Date, Landlord shall substitute an index which is published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or similar agency and which iss most nearly equivalent to the Index in effect on the Effective Date. Landlord shall notify Tenant of the substituted index.
3.3.12 Delay in Determination of New Basic Monthly Rent. If the new Basic Monthly Rent cannot be determined on the Adjustment Date, Tenant shall continue paying the Basic Monthly Rent payable during the preceding 12-month period until such time as the new Basic Monthly Rent is determined. When the new Basic Monthly Rent is determined, Tenant shall pay the new Basic Monthly Rent retroactive to the applicable Adjustment Date.
3.4 Grant of Warrants. Upon the Closing of the first to occur of a) Tenant’s Series “D” preferred financing or b) other
13
equity financing, Tenant will, at landlord’s option, issue to Landlord that number of warrants to purchase shares of Tenant’s capital stock issued in the financing equal to an amount determined by dividing (1) ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,500,000.00) by (2) the lesser of (i) the price at which Tenant’s capital stock is issued and sold to investors in the such financing, or (ii) Seven and 50/100 Dollars ($7.50). The terms and conditions of the warrants so issued shall be identical to any warrants issued in the financing; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the price paid by investors in the financing and (ii) Seven and 50/100 Dollars ($7.50); and (b) in no event shall the issuer of such warrants be permitted to call the same before the expiration of seven (7) years after the issue date. Such warrants shall only be issued to Landlord if the following conditions are satisfied: a) Landlord has purchased the Real Property pursuant to the Contract; and b) the Lease has not been terminated as provided in Section 1.4.2 above. Once such warrants have been issued, a default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall have no impact on the validity or enforceability of such warrants, as the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder are intended to be separate and distinct from this Lease.
IV
ADDITIONAL RENT
4.1 Additional Rent. All charges payable by Tenant hereunder other than Basic Monthly Rent are called “Additional Rent” and shall be paid in United States currency. Unless this Lease provides otherwise, all Additional Rent shall be paid with the next monthly installment of Basic Monthly Rent. As used herein, the term “Rent” shall mean Basic Monthly Rent and Additional Rent.
4.2 Real Property Taxes.
4.2.1 Payment of Taxes. Tenant shall pay all Real Property Taxes (as defined below) applicable to the Premises (“Tax Payments”) during the Lease Term and any Extension. Payment shall be made directly to the appropriate taxing authority. The parties hereby acknowledge that the Real Property is presently assessed as a separate tax parcel. If the Real Property is at any future date not assessed as a separate parcel, Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of the Real Property Taxes (as defined below) levied and assessed against the tax parcel (“Parcel”) of which the Premises are a part. Tenant’s proportionate share of Real Property Taxes shall be the ratio that the gross square footage of the Premises bears to the total number of gross square feet in the Parcel. Each Lease Year Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s calculation of Tenant’s proportionate share of the Real Property Taxes and, together with such notice, shall furnish Tenant with a copy of the
14
tax xxxx. If any supplemental tax bills are delivered with respect to the Parcel, Landlord may notify Tenant of Landlord’s new calculation of Tenant’s proportionate share of Real Property Taxes as soon as such supplemental tax bills are received. Provided the notices set forth in this Section 4.2.1 are delivered, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Tenant’s proportionate share of the Real Property Taxes semiannually no later than fifteen (15) days before the taxing authority’s delinquency date. For purposes of calculating the Tax Payments tor the partial year periods (“Partial Year”) between (i) the Commencement Date and the following December 31, (ii) the date of the end of the Lease Term or early termination and the immediately preceding January 1, Tax Payments for the calendar year in which the Partial Year occurs shall be reduced by multiplying such amounts by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the applicable Partial Year and the denominator of which is 365. The resulting amount shall be the Tax Payments payable during such Partial Year.
4.2.2 Definition of Real Property Tax. As used herein, “Real Property Tax” means: (i) any fee, license fee, license tax, business license fee, commercial rental tax, levy, charge, improvement bond or bonds, assessment, penalty or tax, general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, county, state or federal government, or any school, agriculture, lighting, drainage or other improvement district thereof, as against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Real Property, (ii) any tax on the Landlord’s right to receive, or the receipt of, rent or income from the Real Property or against Landlord’s business of leasing the Real Property, (iii) any tax or charge for fire protection, streets, sidewalks, road maintenance, refuse or other services provided to the Real Property by any governmental agency, and (iv) any charge or fee replacing any tax previously included within the definition of Real Property Tax. “Real Property Tax” does not, however, include (i) Landlord’s federal or state income, franchise, inheritance or estate taxes, or (ii) interest on taxes or penalties resulting from Landlord’s failure to pay taxes unless such failure was the result of Tenant’s failure to timely pay taxes as hereinabove provided. Tenant shall have the right, at any time and at its expense, to contest in good faith by judicial proceedings or otherwise any real or personal property assessment, valuation, or tax deemed excessive by Tenant, and, if necessary, to do so in the name of Landlord, and in such event Tenant shall not be obligated to pay such assessment, valuation or tax until a final judicial determination of such contest, but shall post such bonds as required by law and otherwise take all steps required to protect Landlord throughout any such contest.
15
4.2.3 Personal Property Taxes.
(a) Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency, all taxes charged against trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment or any other personal property belonging to Tenant. Tenant shall attempt to have such personal property taxed separately from the Premises.
(b) If any such taxes on Tenant’s personal property are levied against Landlord, or if the assessed value of the Project is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant, then Landlord, after written notice to Tenant, shall have the right to pay the taxes based upon such increased assessments, regardless of the validity thereof, but only under proper protest if required by Tenant in writing. If Landlord shall do so, then Tenant shall, upon demand, repay to Landlord the taxes levied against Landlord, or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment. In any such event, however, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right, in the name of Landlord and with Landlord’s full cooperation, to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover the amount of any such taxes so paid under protest; any amount so recovered to belong to Tenant.
(c) If any of Tenant’s personal property is taxed with the Real Property, Tenant shall pay Landlord the taxes for the personal property within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives a written statement from Landlord for such personal property taxes.
4.3 Utilities. The parties acknowledge that a separate metering system shall be installed in the Building as a part of the Tenant Improvements which will separately meter gas, electricity and water for, but not limited to, light, heat, ventilation, air conditioning services and water supplied to the Premises. Tenant shall arrange for and pay, directly to the appropriate supplier, the cost of all of such services and all other utilities, if any, supplied to the Premises, including sewer and waste removal. In addition, Tenant shall arrange for and pay directly to the appropriate supplier the cost of any and all telephone installation and service supplied to the Premises.
4.4 Common Area
4.4.1 Definition; Location. As used in this Lease, “Project Common Areas” shall mean all areas within the Project which are available for the common use of tenants of the Project as provided in that certain Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for Xxxxxx Xxxxx Science Center [Unit 2] recorded on June 27, 1994 as Document No. 1994-0405385 (“Declaration”). The Project Common Areas will be maintained in accordance with the Declaration.
16
4.4.2 Use of Common Areas. Tenant shall have non-exclusive right to use the Project Common Areas as provided in the Declaration. Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant Landlord’s rights under Section 12.2.3 of the Declaration to enforce the Declaration on a non-exclusive basis, as and when Tenant’s interests are affected. Landlord shall provide to Tenant a copy of the Budget provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Declaration within two (2) days after Landlord receives the Budget.
4.4.3 Expenses under the Declaration. Tenant shall pay Tenant’s pro rata share of the Assessments (as defined in the Declaration) due under the Declaration for which Landlord is responsible as provided below. Tenant’s pro rata share of the Assessments will be based on the Maximum Building Area (as defined in the Declaration) provided for the Real Property under the Declaration. Tenant shall pay all of any Assessments relative to the Real Property based on (a) the Transportation Demand Management Program described in Sections 2.2.6 and 10.5(6) of the Declaration, and (b) the use of the telecommunication facilities if Tenant utilizes such facilities as provided in Section 8.1(i) of the Declaration. Tenant shall pay to Landlord its pro rata share of the Regular Assessments (as defined in the Declaration) quarterly within ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord specifying the amount of the Regular Assessments and Tenant’s pro rata share thereof. If Landlord is notified that a Special Assessment is being considered under the Declaration and Landlord has a right to vote on such Special Assessment as provided in the Declaration, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the reason for the Special Assessment and shall consult with Tenant as to how Landlord should vote as an Owner under the Declaration. Landlord must obtain Tenant’s consent as to how Landlord will vote with respect to any proposed Special Assessment, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Special Assessment is not to defray the actual Common Expenses of the Association as set forth in Section 10.7.1 of the Declaration, Tenant shall not be responsible for the payment of any portion of the Special Assessment. If the Special Assessment is to defray actual Common Expenses of the Association (as defined in the Declaration), Tenant shall pay its pro rata share of the Special Assessment within ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord specifying the amount of the Special Assessment and Tenant’s pro rata share thereof. Tenant shall pay its pro rata share of any Reimbursement Assessment (as defined in the Declaration) within ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord specifying the amount of the Reimbursement Assessment and Tenant’s pro rata share thereof.

17
4.5 Late Charges. Rent not paid when due shall be subject to a late charge equal to three percent (3%) per month, but not greater than that rate permitted under applicable law prohibiting the charging of usurious interest. Tenant acknowledges that late payment of Rent shall cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain at this time. Accordingly, the parties agree that the foregoing late charge represents a reasonable estimate of the loss and expense to be suffered by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s late payment.

If the Landlord does not elect to so terminate, then the Landlord shall promptly commence repairing such damage at the Landlord’s sole cost and expense.
8.4 Landlord’s Obligations. Landlord shall not be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or other cause, or to make restoration or replacement of any paneling, decorations, partitions, railings, floor coverings, office fixtures or any other improvements or property installed in the Premises. Tenant shall be required to restore or replace the same in the event of damage. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair or restoration, except where due to Landlord’s intentional misconduct or gross negligence and where (and only to the extent that) it is the case that insurance proceeds are available, nor shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as the result of any statutory provision now or hereafter in effect pertaining to the damage and destruction of the Premises.
8.5 Temporary Reduction of Rent. If the Premises are made untenantable in whole or in part by fire or by other casualty insured against by policies of insurance carried by the Landlord, any rent payable as Basic Monthly Rent or Additional Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the part of the Premises which is unusable by the Tenant, as determined by Tenant, until repairs can be made or the Lease terminated as provided herein provided that Landlord shall be entitled to that portion of Tenant’s business interruption insurance which covers the Rent payable hereunder. Except for such reduction in Rent, Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation, reduction, or reimbursement from Landlord as a result of any damage, destruction, repair or restoration of or to the Premises.
8.6 Waiver. Tenant waives the protection of any statute, code or judicial decision which grants a tenant the right to terminate a lease in the event of damage or destruction of the Premises (including but not limited to California Civil Code Sections 1932 and 1933. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Article Eight shall govern the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant in the event of any damage or destruction of the Premises.
IX
EMINENT DOMAIN
9.1 Total Condemnation. If the whole of the Premises is acquired or condemned by eminent domain, inversely condemned or
35
sold in lieu of condemnation, for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (“condemned”), then the Lease Term shall terminate as of the date of title vesting in such proceeding and the Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any such occurrence.
9.2 Partial Condemnation. If any part of the Premises is condemned, and such partial condemnation renders the Premises unusable for the business of the Tenant in Tenant’s opinion, then the term of this Lease shall terminate as of the date of title vesting in such proceeding and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination. If such condemnation is not extensive enough to render the Premises unusable for the business of Tenant, then Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises to a condition comparable to its condition immediately prior to such condemnation less the portion thereof lost in such condemnation, using proceeds recovered by Landlord. In such event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that after the date of such title vesting, the Basic Monthly Rent shall be reduced as reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant waives the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 allowing Tenant to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises.
9.3 Landlord’s Award. If the Premises are wholly or partially condemned, then, subject to the provisions of Section 9.4 below, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award paid for such condemnation, and Tenant waives any right or claim in any part thereof from the Landlord or the condemning authority.
9.4 Tenant’s Award. Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in its own right on account of any and all costs or loss (including loss of business) to which Tenant might incur in moving Tenant’s merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment to a new location, provided that Tenant’s award shall in no event reduce the amount of the award paid to Landlord.
9.5 Temporary Condemnation. If the whole or any part of the Premises shall be condemned for any temporary public or quasi-public use or purpose, this Lease shall remain in effect and Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself such portion or portions of any award made for such use with respect to the period of the taking which is within the term. If a temporary condemnation remains in force at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a sum equal to the reasonable cost of performing any obligations required of Tenant by this Lease with respect to the surrender of the Premises, including, without
36
limitation, repairs and maintenance required, and upon such payment Tenant shall be excused from any such obligations.
9.6 Notice and Execution. Landlord shall within ten (10) days of service of process in connection with any condemnation, or potential condemnation, give Tenant notice in writing thereof. Tenant shall immediately execute and deliver to the Landlord all instruments that may be required to effect the provisions of this Article.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
10.1 Landlord’s Consent Required. Except as provided below, no portion of the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease may be acquired by any other person or entity, whether by assignment mortgage, sublease, transfer, operation of law, or act of Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Except as provided below, any attempted transfer without consent shall be void and shall constitute a non-curable breach of this Lease. If Tenant is a partnership, (i) any cumulative transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the partnership interests, or (ii) the admission of a new general partner, or (iii) the transfer of any interest of any general partner in the partnership shall require Landlord’s consent. If Tenant is a corporation, any change in a controlling interest of the voting stock of the corporation shall require Landlord’s consent if such change results in a material adverse change to Tenant’s financial condition or prospective ability to perform under this Lease.
10.1.1 Permitted Transfers. Tenant shall have the right, without the prior consent of Landlord, to assign its interest in the Lease (i) to any corporation which is a successor to Tenant either by merger or consolidation, (ii) to a purchaser of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets (provided such purchaser shall have also assumed substantially all of Tenant’s liabilities), or (iii) to a corporation or other entity which shall (1) control, (2) be under the control of, or (3) be under common control with, Tenant (the term “control” as used herein shall be deemed to mean ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least thirty percent (30%) of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation, or at least a thirty percent (30%) equity and control interest if Tenant is not a corporation) (any such entity being a “Related Entity”). Tenant may also sublease all or any portion of the Premises to a Related Entity without the consent of Landlord.
10.2 No Release of Tenant. No transfer permitted by this Article Ten, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall release Tenant or change Tenant’s primary liability to pay the Rent
37
and to perform all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Landlord’s acceptance of Rent from any other person is not a waiver of any provision of this Article Ten. Consent to one transfer is not a consent to any subsequent transfer. If Tenant’s transferee defaults under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without pursuing remedies against the transferee. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or modifications of this Lease by Tenant’s transferee without notifying Tenant or obtaining its consent. Such action shall not relieve Tenant’s liability under this Lease.
10.3 Landlord’s Election. Tenant’s request for consent to any transfer described in Section 10.1 above shall be accompanied by a written statement setting forth the details of the proposed transfer, including the name, business and financial condition of the prospective transferee, financial details of the proposed transfer (e.g., the term of and rent and security deposit payable under, any assignment or sublease), and any other information Landlord deems relevant. Landlord shall have the right to (i) withhold consent, if reasonable; or (ii) grant consent to a transfer.
10.4 No Merger. No merger shall result from Tenant’s sublease of the Premises under this Article Ten, Tenant’s surrender of this Lease or the termination of this Lease in any either manner. In any such event, Landlord may terminate any or all subtenancies or succeed to the Interest of Tenant as sublandlord thereunder.
10.5 Involuntary Transfers. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), any and all monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or delivered to Landlord, shall be the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any and all monies or other consideration constituting Landlord’s property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Landlord under the preceding sentence shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and be promptly paid or delivered to Landlord. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed without further act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall upon demand execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption.

XI
DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
11.1 Covenants and Conditions. Time is of the essence in the performance of all covenants and conditions by both Landlord and Tenant.
11.2 Default by Tenant. Tenant shall be in material default under this Lease:
11.2.1 Abandonment. If Tenant abandons the Premises or if such abandonment of the Premises results in the cancellation of any insurance described in Article Seven; or
11.2.2 Failure to Pay. If Tenant fails to pay Rent or any other charge required to be paid by Tenant, as and when due, and Tenant has received written notice from Landlord as to such failure to pay and does not cure such default within five (5) days after notice, Such notice shall satisfy, and not be in addition to, the notice requirement in Section 791 of the California Civil Code; or
11.2.3 Failure to Perform. if Tenant fails to perform any of Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord; provided that if more time is required to complete such performance, Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant commences such performance within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues its completion, but in no event shall Tenant have longer than one hundred twenty (120) days to cure such default. However, Landlord shall not be required to give such notice if Tenant’s failure to perform constitutes a non-curable breach of this Lease. The notice required by this Subsection is intended to satisfy any and all notice requirements imposed by law on Landlord and is not in addition to any such requirement; or
11.2.4 Other Defaults. (i) If Tenant makes a general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (ii) if a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement is filed by or against Tenant and is not dismissed within thirty (30) days; (iii) if a trustee or receiver is appointed to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease and possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (iv) if substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease is subjected to attachment, execution or other judicial seizure which is not discharged within thirty (30) days. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the acts described in this Subsection 11.2.4 is not a default under this Lease, and a trustee
39
is appointed to take possession (or if Tenant remains a debtor in possession) and such trustee or Tenant transfers Tenant’s interest hereunder, then Landlord shall receive, as Additional Rent, the difference between the rent (or any other consideration,) paid in connection with such assignment or sublease and the rent payable by Tenant hereunder.
11.3 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall be in material default under this Lease:
11.3.1 Monetary Default. If Landlord fails to perform any of Landlord’s monetary obligations under this Lease for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from Tenant; or
11.3.2 Non-Monetary. If Landlord fails to perform any of Landlord’s material non-monetary obligations under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after written, notice from Tenant; provided that if more time is required to complete such performance Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences such performance within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues its completion, but in no event shall Landlord have longer than one hundred twenty (120) days to cure such default.
11.4 Remedies. On the occurrence of any material default by Tenant, Landlord may, at any time thereafter with or without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have, pursue any of the following remedies:
11.4.1 Termination of Possession. Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event Landlord shall have the immediate right to re-enter and remove all persons and property and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost, and for the account, of Tenant, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby; and Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default, including (i) the worth at the time of the award of all Basic Monthly Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which were earned or were payable at the time of the termination; (ii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Basic Monthly Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would have been earned or were payable after termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the
40
unpaid Basic Monthly Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would have been payable for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under the Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in maintaining or preserving the Premises after such default, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation or alteration of the Premises, Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, and any real estate commissions or other such fees paid or payable. As used in subparts (i) and (ii) above, the “worth at the time of the award” is computed by allowing interest on unpaid amounts at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, or such lesser amount as may then be the maximum lawful rate. As used in subpart (iii) above, the “worth at the time of the award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus one percent (1%). If Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises, Landlord shall have the option of (i) retaking possession of the Premises and recovering from Tenant the amount specified in this Subsection 11.4.1, or (ii) proceeding under Subsection 11.4.2; or
11.4.2 Maintenance of Possession. Maintain Tenant’s right to possession, in which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the Rent as it becomes due hereunder; or
11.4.3 Other Remedies. Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Premises is located.
11.5 The Right to Relet the Premises. Should Landlord elect to re-enter, as herein provided, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may either terminate this Lease or it may from time without terminating this Lease, make such alterations and relet said Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable; upon each such reletting all rentals received by the Landlord from such reletting shall be applied, first, to the repayment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to landlord;
41
second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees and attorneys’ fees and of costs of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment, of future Rent as the same may became due and payable hereunder. If such rentals received from such reletting during any month are less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
11.6 Waiver of Rights of Redemption. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all right of redemption, granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession, of the Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease, or otherwise.
11.7 Cumulative Remedies. Landlord’s exercise of any right or remedy shall not prevent it from exercising any other right or remedy.
11.8 No Waiver. No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such term. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate the damages caused by Tenant’s breach of this Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver of Landlord’s right to recover damages under this Section 11.8. Nothing in this Section 11.8 affects the right of Landlord to indemnification by Tenant in accordance with Section 7.2 for liability arising prior to the termination of this Lease for personal injuries or property damage.

ESTOPPEL, CERTIFICATE, ATTORNMENT AHD SUBORDINATION
12.1 Subordination.
12.1.1 Landlord’s Election. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to subordinate this Lease to any other ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Premises, any advances made on the security thereof and any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, whenever made or recorded if the ground lessee, deed of trust
42
beneficiary or mortgagee agrees that Tenant’s right to quiet possession of the Premises during the Lease Term and any Extension (as applicable) shall not be disturbed if Tenant pays the Rent and performs all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and is not otherwise in default. If any ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee elects to have this Lease prior to the lien of its ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage and gives written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage or the date of recording thereof.
12.1.2 Execution of Documents.

Pursuant to the offer, Tenant shall have the right to purchase the Real Property on the terms and conditions stated in the Transfer Notice.
16.3 Acceptance of Offer. On or before the last day of the Offer Period, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord notice of its acceptance or rejection of the offer. Delivery of a notice of acceptance to Landlord by Tenant shall create a binding contract between Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s failure to timely deliver such notice shall be deemed a rejection of Landlord’s offer.
16.4 Closing. The closing of the transfer of the Real Property from Landlord to Tenant shall be at such time and place as may be agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree, the closing shall occur offices of Landlord at 10:00 a.m. on the sixtieth (60th) business day following the expiration of the Offer Period or such later date as set forth in the Transfer Notice.

49
exercises its rights hereunder and delivers a notice of acceptance but fails to complete the purchase of the Real Property solely due to Tenant’s default, then Tenant’s rights under this Article XVI shall terminate.
16.6 Failure to Sell. During the Ongoing Rights Period, If Landlord fails to sell the Real Property within six (6) months after having delivered the Transfer Notice to Tenant, then, prior to any sale thereof, Landlord shall once again notify Tenant of any bona fide offer to purchase the Real Property and the aforesaid procedure shall be repeated.
16.7 Landlord’s Successors. Upon any sale of the Real Property as provided herein, the rights of Tenant under this Article shall continue as restricted herein so that any Landlord shall be bound hereby; that is, so long as such sale has occurred during the Ongoing Rights Period.

17.5 Failure to Sell. If Landlord fails to sell the Real Property within nine (9) months after having delivered Landlord’s Offer to Tenants then, prior to any sale thereof, Landlord shall once again offer the Real Property to Tenant and the aforesaid procedure shall be repeated.
17.6 Landlord’s Successors. Upon any sale of the Real Property as provided herein, the rights of Tenant under this Article shall continue as restricted herein, so that any Landlord hereunder shall be bound hereby; provided, however, that Tenant’s rights under this Section 17 shall automatically terminate upon any trustee’s sale, judicial foreclosure, or deed in lieu thereof.

59
7. | Landlord’s Construction. |
7.1 Landlord shall furnish all labor and materials to construct and complete in a good, expeditious and workmanlike manner to the reasonable satisfaction and approval of Tenant the work described in the Shell Plans (“Landlord’s Improvements”) and in Tenant’s Plans (“Tenant Improvements”) (Landlord’s Improvements and Tenant Improvements are referred to herein collectively as the “Improvements”). Landlord will enter into a cost plus/guaranteed maximum price contract consistent with the parties determination of Final Cost in accordance with Section 8.1 below, with a general contractor reasonably approved by Tenant (the “Contractor”) as the general contractor for the construction, of the Improvements. Tenant hereby consents to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Construction Company as the Contractor. Following execution of the construction contract with the Contractor, Landlord shall cause the Contractor to file with the appropriate departments of all governmental authorities with jurisdiction over the Real Property, the Shell Plans and Tenant’s Plans (collectively, the “Plans”) and to submit such other information and materials as may be required by such governmental authorities for their approval of the Improvements. Upon, receipt of all necessary governmental approvals for the construction of Improvements, Landlord shall cause the Contractor to commence and diligently proceed with the construction of the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and all applicable governmental laws, regulations and requirements. Landlord and Tenant will meet on at least a weekly basis to discuss the progress of the Improvements. Tenant’s Architect shall have access to the Premises during construction of Improvements at all times during normal business hours for purposes of inspection. Landlord also agrees that Tenant shall be granted periodic access for the purpose of inspecting construction progress. In connection with such periodic access, Tenant agrees that, to the extent permitted by law, Landlord and its principals shall not be liable in any way for injury or death to any person or persons or loss or damage to property located in the Premises. Tenant expressly agrees that none of its agents, contractors, workmen, mechanics, suppliers or invitees shall enter the Premises prior to the Commencement Date unless and until each of them shall furnish to Landlord reasonably satisfactory evidence of insurance coverage, financial responsibility and other appropriate information.
7.2 Landlord shall use its best efforts to substantially complete the Improvements as expeditiously as possible. The parties agree that the Building Shell, Landlord’s Work and the Tenant Improvements for the Phase I Premises shall be substantially complete by August 1, 1995, and the Tenant Improvements for the Phase II Premises shall be substantially complete by March 1, 1996.
7.3 If at any time prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy or similar entitlement for use of the Premises, Tenant shall determine that the Improvements are not being constructed substantially in accordance with the Plans, Tenant may deliver
60
written notice to Landlord specifying in detail the particular deficiency, omission, or other manner in which construction has not been substantially completed in accordance with the Plans. Upon receipt of any such notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant if it disagrees with Tenant’s determination and if so the parties shall meet within two (2) days in a good faith effort to resolve the disagreement. If Landlord and Tenant cannot come to an agreement the dispute will be determined by arbitration, conducted under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. If Landlord does not disagree with Tenant or the above meeting results in resolution of the disagreement, Landlord shall take all steps necessary at Landlord’s sole cost and expense to correct any deficiencies, omissions or defects.
7.4 Upon substantial completion of the Improvements (or the two phases of Tenant Improvements thereof), Tenant shall conduct a “walk through” with Landlord in order to ascertain if such Improvements comply with the Plans and this Agreement. If Tenant reasonably determines that the Improvements do not comply with the Plans and this Agreement, then a “punch list” will be prepared by Tenant indicating such deviations, and Landlord shall correct at its sole cost those items noted on the punch list which are not in compliance with the Plans and this Agreement. Landlord shall complete (“final completion” or finally complete) the finishing details of construction and the punch list items for the Improvements according to the Plans and this Agreement within thirty (30) days after substantial completion of Landlord’s Improvements and the Tenant Improvements for Phase I, and within forty-five (45) days after substantial completion of the Phase II Tenant Improvements. If Tenant and Landlord cannot agree upon whether or not the items of the punch list reflect compliance or noncompliance with the Plans and this Agreement; then the compliance or noncompliance of the Improvements shall be determined by a neutral arbitrator who shall be an architect in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
7.5 If Landlord shall be delayed in substantially completing the Improvements, and such delay shall be caused by, or result from any of the following (“Tenant’s Delays”);
1. | any Tenant requested change to the approved Plans to the extent any delay is not caused by Landlord’s failure to act upon or process any such request in a reasonably diligent manner. Landlord’s failure to adhere to applicable law in existence at the time of entering into this Lease or Landlord’s defective work; |
2. | any errors or omissions in the Tenant’s Plans; |
61
3. | Tenant’s failure to adhere to the dates for delivery, response or other actions as set forth in this Work Letter; and |
4. | Tenant’s failure to provide in a timely fashion the long-lead items integral to Landlord’s performance of the construction contemplated by Tenant’s Plans, for which Tenant bears responsibility for ordering and/or supplying the same, including, for example, Tenant’s equipment that is being installed by Landlord, |
then the Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the date upon which the Commencement Date would have occurred but for such Tenant’s Delay, and the dates for substantial completion of the two phases of Tenant Improvements set forth in Section 7.2 hereof, shall be extended one day for each day of Delay caused by Tenant’s Delays. The parties hereby agree that the foregoing adjustments as to the Commencement Date and the dates for substantial completion shall only be made to the extent that any of the foregoing Tenant’s Delays shall actually delay completion of the Premises in accordance with, the Project Schedule on a net basis. That is, for example, if an error in the Tenant’s Plans does not delay Landlord’s progress, or if such error does delay progress but such delay is recouped by earlier completion on another aspect of the Project, then the adjustments to the Commencement Date and the dates for substantial completion shall be unnecessary. If the parties are unable to agree on whether or not the Tenant’s Delay resulted in an actual delay of the anticipated Commencement Date, then the matter shall be resolved by neutral arbitrator in accordance with Section 7.4 above.
7.6 Landlord covenants to comply with all terms of any financing obtained to pay for the Landlord’s Improvements (provided that Tenant performs all obligations hereunder necessary for Landlord to comply with such financing) and to service all debt associated therewith.
8. Landlord’s Contribution to the Tenant Improvements Costs.
8.1 Tenant Improvement Allowance. Landlord and Tenant reasonably anticipate that the total cost of the Tenant Improvements will not exceed Nine Million One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($9,100,000). The parties acknowledge that such figure is an estimate only. Within ten (10) business days after the parties’ agreement as to the form of the drawings, plans and specifications, which shall constitute the Final Plans, Landlord shall prepare an analysis in its sole judgment of the cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements according to the Final Plans, including payment of a fee to the Contractor (the “Final Cost”). Within three (3) business days after receipt of the statement of Final Cost, Tenant
62
shall deliver to Landlord written notice of approval or disapproval of the same; however, if Tenant requires additional information regarding the Final Cost, Landlord shall promptly supply same and Tenant shall have a reasonable additional time period, not to exceed an additional two (2) business days to either approve or disapprove the Final Cost. If Tenant disapproves such Final Cost, Tenant shall specify the reasons for its disapproval. Thereafter, the parties shall meet on or before two (2) business days after Tenant’s notice of disapproval, in an effort to reach an agreement on the Final Cost. If the parties are unable to agree on the Final Cost, then Landlord’s sole obligation shall be to provide the Landlord’s Improvements and the Tenant Improvement Allowance specified below. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a sum equal to EIGHTY-NINE AND 64/100 DOLLARS ($89.64) per gross square foot of the Building, but not to exceed SEVEN MILLION THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY-FIVE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($7,385,225) for the Tenant Improvements (“Tenant Improvement Allowance”). The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be used by Tenant to pay all Tenant Improvement costs including, but not limited to, fees payable to the the Contractor (as defined below), and all costs and expenses incurred in planning, preparing, constructing and installing the Tenant Improvements, including permits, fees, utility meters, and fees and costs paid to the Tenant’s Architect and Engineer (collectively, “Tenant Improvement Costs”). Tenant shall pay any excess Tenant Improvement Costs over the Tenant Improvement Allowance (“Tenant’s Share”), as follows: eighty-five percent (85%) of Tenant’s Share shall be payable on or before January 1, 1996, and the remaining fifteen percent (15%) upon completion of the punch-list items for the Phase II Premises.
8.2 Tenant shall provide Landlord, on January 15, 1995, and on or before the first day of each, month thereafter, commencing February 1, 1995, and continuing until the later of (i) January 1, 1996, or (ii) that date on which the first 85% of Tenant’s Share has been paid as provided in Section 8.1 above, documentation (the “Cash Evidence”) reasonably satisfactory to Landlord evidencing Tenant’s cash, (meaning cash on deposit at its depository institution) of not less than Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Cash Threshhold”) . Should Tenant’s Cash Evidence for any one month indicate a value less than the Cash Threshhold, then Tenant shall, within three (3) business days following written demand therefore by Landlord, deposit with Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, an irrevocable, unconditional letter of credit issued by an institution reasonably satisfactory to landlord, in favor of Landlord (the “Letter of Credit”) in the amount of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000), and valid for a period of one (1) year, but having an automatic renewal. The form of sight draft to be utilized by Landlord in connection with the Letter of Credit shall be subject to the approval of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon Tenant’s failure to deliver all or any
63
portion of Tenant’s Share as and when provided in Section 8.1 above, Landlord shall be entitled to unconditionally draw upon the Letter of Credit up to the full stated amount thereof and apply the proceeds of such draw to the obligations for Tenant’s Share provided in Section 8.1 above, and the remainder, if any, to Landlord’s actual out of pocket costs and expenses and any ether damages or penalties incurred as a result of Tenant’s failure to so pay Tenant’s Share. If at any time following delivery of the Letter of Credit Tenant’s monthly Cash Evidence evidences an amount equal to or greater than the Cash Threshhold, then Tenant shall be entitled to request, by written notice to Landlord, the surrender of the Letter of Credit; provided, however, that any such surrender shall not waive, diminish or abrogate Landlord’s right to require delivery of the Letter of Credit at any future time at which the Cash Evidence shall again evidence less than the Cash Threshhold.
9. Changes or Additions to the Plans.
9.1 Any changes to the Plans desired by Tenant subsequent to the approval of the Plans by both parties shall be requested of Landlord in writing by Tenant. Provided such changes are generally harmonious with the Plans and are in conformance with governmental regulations and requirements, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to incorporate plan changes requested in writing by Tenant and to notify Tenant immediately of any cost increase or potential delay caused by such changes. Tenant shall be responsible for any increase in cost due to Tenant’s requested changes. If the proposed changes will increase the cost of the Improvements, Landlord shall notify Tenant of any such increase and Tenant may choose to cancel its requested changes. Any delay in substantial completion of the Improvements resulting from material changes requested by Tenant shall, to the extent such delay is not caused by Landlord’s failure to act upon or process any such request in a reasonably diligent manner, automatically extend on a per day basis the completion and delivery deadline described in Section 7.2 hereof, and the Commencement Date shall remain as that date which would otherwise have been the Commencement Date but for said change in the Plans. All disputes as to the effect of any such changes shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Sections 7.4 and 7.5 above.
9.2 Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of any material modifications to the Plans and the Improvements required by any governmental department with the authority to approve the Plans and such required modifications. In addition, Landlord shall inform Tenant of any changes to the Plans that it requests following the approval of the Plans in accordance with Section 2 hereof. Tenant shall have the right to approve any changes to the Plans requested by Landlord after approval of the Plans. If any changes are required by either the governmental department or Landlord, the
64
cost of such change or changes shall be paid by Landlord unless the changes are required due to laws that went into effect after approval of the Plans in which case the cost thereof shall be paid in accordance with Section 8.1 above. The foregoing notwithstanding, the parties acknowledge and agree that during the course of construction of a commercial project such as the Premises, minor changes to the Plans are made on a routine basis, and so long as such minor changes do not materially or detrimentally alter the Plans as approved by Tenant, it shall be unnecessary for Landlord to obtain Tenant’s approval before making and implementing such changes.
9.3 If either during or after construction of the Improvements, changes are required to be made to the Improvements either to bring them into compliance which code requirements or because all necessary permits were not properly obtained, upon notice from the appropriate governing authority.

The rent deferment arrangement contained in this Section 3 is personal to the Tenant named in this Second Amendment (the “Original Tenant”) and any “Affiliate,” as such term is defined below, to whom Original Tenant’s entire interest in the Lease, as hereby amended, has been assigned (the “Affiliate Assignee”) and shall only apply to the extent that the Original Tenant or its Affiliate Assignee (if applicable) remains the tenant under the Lease, as amended hereby. For purposes of this Second Amendment, an “Affiliate” of Tenant is an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant. “Control,” as used in this Second Amendment, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that, as of the date of this Second Amendment, for the period commencing on February 1, 2009 and ending on June 31, 2009, Tenant has previously paid to Landlord the monthly installments of Basic Monthly Rent attributable to the Premises less the applicable monthly deferment amounts set forth in the schedule above. For purposes of this Second Amendment, Tenant shall be in “Monetary Default” of the Lease, as hereby amended, if Tenant fails to pay to Landlord any regularly scheduled payment when due under the Lease, as hereby amended, and such failure continues for five (5) business days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice from Landlord that the same is past due.
4. Landlord’s Return on Deferred Basic Rent. In consideration of Landlord’s execution of this Second Amendment and agreement to defer payments of rent under the Lease, as hereby amended, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a return on the accrued and outstanding Deferred Basic Rent at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Deferred Basic Rent Return”), which Deferred Basic Rent Return shall (i) accrue monthly on a cumulative, compounded basis over the Deferment Period and the “Repayment Period,” as that term is defined in Section 5 below, and (ii) be paid by Tenant, along with Tenant’s payment of the Deferred Basic Rent, in accordance with the terms of Section 5, below. As used herein, the term “The Balance” shall mean the sum of the accrued, outstanding Deferred Basic Rent and the accrued, outstanding Deferred Basic Rent Return at the time identified.
5. Repayment of Deferred Basic Rent and Deferred Basic Rent Return. The accrued, outstanding Deferred Basic Rent and the accrued, outstanding Deferred Basic Rent Return shall be paid in full to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Section 5. Not later than April 1, 2010, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a lump sum of Four Hundred Forty-Eight Thousand Nine Hundred Forty and 60/100 Dollars ($448,940.60) (i.e., twenty percent (20%) of The Balance as of April 1, 2010) (the “Initial Lump Sum Payment”). Thereafter, commencing on or prior to the first (1st) day of each calendar month occurring during the period commencing on April 1, 2010 and ending on September 30, 2011, (the “Repayment Period”), along with and in addition to all other regularly scheduled Rent otherwise due and payable by Tenant for the Premises under the terms of the Lease, as amended hereby, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
remainder of the accrued, outstanding Deferred Basic Rent and the accrued, outstanding Deferred Basic Rent Return (i.e., the accrued, outstanding Deferred Basic Rent and the accrued, outstanding Deferred Basic Rent Return less the Initial Lump Sum Payment) as follows:

Further, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Lease, as amended, the Deferred Basic Rent, Deferred Basic Rent Return and the “Reimbursement Amount,” as that term is defined in Section 6 below, payable hereunder shall constitute a part of the “Rent” (as that term is defined in the Lease) payable by Tenant in connection with the Premises.
6. Reimbursement of Landlord’s Costs. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that in consideration of Landlord’s execution of this Second Amendment and granting Tenant the concessions set forth herein, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord (up to a cap in the amount of the “Reimbursement Amount,” as that term is defined below) for (i) Landlord’s legal fees and costs incurred in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Second Amendment (including, without limitation, the liens and encumbrances relating to the Premises identified in Section 18, below, and the “Settlement Agreement,” as that term is defined in Section 18, below) and any of the matters set forth in the TPSP Fourth Amendment (collectively, the “Legal Costs”), and (ii) all fees and costs incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s lender’s review of this Second Amendment and the TPSP Fourth Amendment (if applicable) (the “Lender Review Costs”) (the Legal Costs and the Lender Review Costs are, collectively, “Landlord’s Costs”). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord’s Costs to Landlord in an amount not to exceed Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Reimbursement Amount”); provided, however, the foregoing Reimbursement Amount cap shall not apply to any and all “Excluded Costs,” as that term is defined below. Following Landlord’s determination of Landlord’s Costs, Landlord shall provide reasonable documentation thereof to Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord a return on the outstanding amount of the Reimbursement Amount accruing at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum over the Deferment Period and the Repayment Period. The Reimbursement Amount (plus the return) will be deferred during the Deferment Period, and, thereafter, the Reimbursement Amount (plus the return) shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord in equal monthly installments over the Repayment Period in addition to all regularly scheduled Rent due and payable by Tenant for the Premises under the terms of the Lease, as amended hereby, and payments of the accrued, outstanding Deferred Basic Rent and the accrued, outstanding Deferred Basic Rent Return, as set forth in Section 5 above. The Reimbursement Amount shall represent the full satisfaction of any reimbursements or costs that are or might come due under the Lease, as hereby amended, and the TPSP Lease in connection with the matters addressed in this Second Amendment and the TPSP Fourth Amendment, including the Legal Costs and the Lender Review Costs, but excluding the Excluded Costs. The term “Excluded Costs” shall mean any and all costs (including, without limitation, all legal fees and costs) incurred by Landlord for which Tenant may be liable under the Lease, as hereby amended, (i) in the event that the “Effective Date,” as that term is defined in the Settlement Agreement, does not occur, (ii) relating to any default under the Settlement Agreement, and (iii) relating to any default by Tenant under this Second Amendment or the TPSP Fourth Amendment.
7. Acceleration of Deferred Basic Rent and Deferred Basic Rent Return for Tenant Default, Assignment of Lease or Bankruptcy. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Lease, as amended hereby, Landlord shall have the right, at its option, to accelerate the repayment of The Balance accrued and unpaid as of such date and to make the same immediately payable in full by Tenant, upon (i) any Monetary Default (as defined in Section 3 above) by Tenant; (ii) any assignment or attempted assignment of the Lease, as amended hereby, by the Original Tenant to any third party (other than to an Affiliate Assignee); (iii) a general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of any corporate action in furtherance of bankruptcy or dissolution (whether or not there exists any proceeding under an insolvency or bankruptcy law), or the filing by or against Tenant or any guarantor of any proceeding under an insolvency or bankruptcy law; or (iv) the sale of Tenant’s business through a merger or sale of stock which, in either case, results in a more than fifty percent (50%) change in control of Tenant’s stock, or a sale of all of the assets of Tenant’s business during the Deferment Period or
the Repayment Period or prior to the full repayment of the Deferred Basic Rent and Deferred Basic Rent Return; provided, however, the issuance of equity securities of Tenant or securities exercisable or convertible for equity securities of Tenant for financing purposes that results in a change of Control of Tenant shall not be prohibited by the Lease, as hereby amended, or result in such an acceleration as otherwise set forth in this Section 7. In accordance with the foregoing, if any acceleration occurs prior to the end of the Deferment Period, then there shall be no further deferment of Basic Monthly Rent and, in addition to the repayment described in this Section 7, Tenant shall immediately become obligated to pay to Landlord the full amount of Tenant’s regularly scheduled payments and amounts of Basic Monthly Rent thereafter coming due, as and when the same come due, in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
8. Basic Monthly Rent During Remainder of Term. Effective as of April 1, 2010, and continuing throughout the remainder of the Lease Term, in addition to the payment of the accrued, outstanding Deferred Basic Rent, the accrued, outstanding Deferred Basic Rent Return and the Reimbursement Amount, as applicable, as and when the same come due pursuant to the provisions of this Second Amendment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the full amount of Tenant’s regularly scheduled payments and amounts of Basic Monthly Rent, as and when the same come due, in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
9. Additional Rent. Notwithstanding the deferment of Basic Monthly Rent set forth in this Second Amendment, during the Deferment Period and throughout the remainder of the Lease Term, Tenant shall remain obligated to pay to Landlord the full amount of all other monetary obligations of Tenant to Landlord under the terms of the Lease (including, without limitation, all costs of real property taxes, utilities, insurance premiums, and Project Operating Expenses as and to the extent set forth in the Lease).
10. Warrants for Purchase of Stock. In consideration of Landlord’s execution of this Second Amendment and granting Tenant the concessions set forth herein and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Second Amendment, Tenant shall, as required by the TPSP Fourth Amendment, concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Second Amendment and the TPSP Fourth Amendment, execute and deliver to HCP the two (2) warrant agreements attached to the Fourth Amendment as Exhibit A (it being understood by the parties hereto that only such two (2) warrant agreements shall be executed and delivered by Tenant notwithstanding that the warrant agreements are referenced in both this Second Amendment and the TPSP Fourth Amendment).
11. Deletions and Modifications. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree and acknowledge that, effective as of the date of this Second Amendment, the following deletions and/or modifications are made to the Lease.
11.1 Sections 1.4.2 and 1.9 of the Original Lease have expired, and, therefore, Sections 1.4.2 and 1.9 of the Original Lease are hereby deleted in their entirety and are of no further force or effect.

$5,000,000 with respect to the risks referred to in Section 7.1.1 of the Original Lease, which shall apply specifically to the Premises. These limits shall be in addition to and not including those stated for the underlying commercial general liability, business automobile liability, and employers liability insurance required under the Lease. Except as set forth herein, such policy shall be in accordance with the terms of Section 7 of the Original Lease.
11.3 Section 15 of the Original Lease has expired, and, therefore, Section 15 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and is of no further force or effect.
12. Remedies.

Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Second Amendment, and that they know of no real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Second Amendment. Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of any dealings with any real estate broker or agent occurring by, through, or
under the indemnifying party. The terms of this Section 14 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Lease, as hereby amended.
15. No Default; Tolling of Cure Period. To Tenant’s knowledge, as of the date of this Second Amendment, Landlord is not in default (nor does a situation exist which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default) under any of the terms or provisions of the Lease. So long as sub-item (iii) set forth in Section 18 below, is satisfied, (i) to Landlord’s knowledge, as of the date of this Second Amendment, Tenant is not in default (nor does a situation exist which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default) and there are no Monetary Defaults under any of the terms or provisions of the Lease, as hereby amended, and (ii) Tenant’s cure period with respect to the imposition of any liens and encumbrances shall be tolled.
16. Conflict; No Further Modification. In the event of any conflict between the Lease and this Second Amendment, the terms of this Second Amendment shall prevail. Except as specifically set forth in this Second Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.
17. Counterparts/Facsimile or .PDF Signatures. This Second Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which, together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Additionally, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that signatures transmitted via facsimile or .pdf shall be considered fully binding under this Second Amendment.
18. Effectiveness of this Second Amendment.

(“DPR”) as amended by that certain Amendment dated June 26, 2009 (collectively, the “Settlement Agreement”) (of which Landlord is a third party beneficiary) and the full payment by Tenant to DPR of the “Aggregate Payment Amount” (i.e., $2,000,000), as that term is defined in, and pursuant to the terms of, the Settlement Agreement (collectively, the “Conditions Precedent”). To the extent that the Conditions Precedent are not satisfied on or before September 1, 2009, then Landlord may terminate this Second Amendment upon delivery of written notice thereof to Tenant, in which event this Second Amendment shall automatically terminate and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if unmodified by this Second Amendment. So long as the Conditions Precedent are satisfied, Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the other that the execution and performance of this Second Amendment by such party has been authorized and approved by all requisite corporate, limited liability company, partnership and third party action.
