THIS LEASE AND AGREEMENT OF LEASE (the "Lease") is made, entered into

for purposes of notice hereunder is ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇,

R E C I T A L S
This Lease is made with reference to the following facts and
objectives, and may be entered as admissions against either party by the other
in any action arising from or related to this Lease.
Landlord is the owner of the following: (i) certain tract(s) or
parcel(s) of land located in Tustin, California, and more particularly described
on the attached and incorporated Exhibit "A" (the land described above, together
with all rights, interests, easements, rights of way and appurtenances related
thereto, shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Land"); and (ii) a building or
buildings located or to be located on the Land at 14272 and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇, and all other structures and improvements existing or to be
constructed on the Land, together with all fixtures and equipment therein owned
by Landlord and used in the operation of the same (collectively, the
"Improvements"). The Land and Improvements are hereinafter collectively referred
to as the "Premises." No easement for light, air or view is included with or
appurtenant to the Premises.
In connection with the financing of the Premises, Landlord has executed
and delivered a promissory note (the "Note") to Finova Realty Capital, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the "Lender").
To secure the payment of such Note, the Landlord has granted a mortgage lien on
the Premises pursuant to a Deed of Trust and Security Agreement of even date
herewith (the "Mortgage") and an Assignment of Rents and Leases of even date
herewith (the "Assignment") on the Premises to the Lender, and entered into that
certain loan commitment with Lender dated November 19, 1998 (the "Loan
Commitment"). The aforesaid Note, Loan Commitment, Mortgage and Assignment and
all related instruments and documents are hereinafter referred to as the "Loan
Documents" and the transaction to which the these instruments and documents
relate is hereinafter referred to as the "Loan." Reference herein to "Default
Rate" and "Default Rate Interest" shall have the meaning set forth in Article 5
of the Note, which is the lesser of thirteen percent (13%) or the maximum amount
permitted by applicable law.
Pursuant to all of the terms, conditions, covenants and provisions of
this Lease, Tenant desires to lease the Premises from Landlord, and Landlord
desires to lease the Premises to Tenant, for the rents and during the terms
hereinafter set forth.
97
Landlord acquired the Premises on the date that the initial term of
this Lease commenced and for the period of at least one year prior to said
commencement date, Tenant owned, occupied and operated the Premises.
Tenant is currently operating biotechnology research, development and
manufacturing operations in the Premises and intends to continue to do so during
the term of this Lease. Tenant has examined the title of the Premises, the
physical condition of the premises, environmental studies and reports of the
Premises, and the economic feasibility of conducting Tenant's research and
manufacturing operations in and from the Premises. Tenant has determined that
the same are satisfactory to Tenant, and Tenant accepts the Premises on an "AS
IS WHERE IS" basis. TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LANDLORD (WHETHER ACTING AS
LANDLORD HEREUNDER OR IN ANY OTHER CAPACITY) HAS NOT MADE AND WILL NOT MAKE, NOR
SHALL LANDLORD BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE PREMISES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION,
ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE OR PURPOSE, DESIGN OR
CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL
OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, AS TO LANDLORD'S TITLE THERETO, OR AS
TO VALUE, COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS, SPECIFICATIONS, LOCATION, USE,
CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY, DESCRIPTION, DURABILITY OR OPERATION, IT
BEING AGREED THAT ALL RISKS INCIDENT THERETO ARE TO BE BORNE BY TENANT. Tenant
acknowledges that the Premises are of its selection and to its specifications,
and that the Premises have been inspected by Tenant and are satisfactory to it.
In the event of any defect or deficiency in any of the Premises of any nature,
whether patent or latent, Landlord shall not have any responsibility or
liability with respect thereto or for any incidental or consequential damages
(including strict liability in tort).
The Premises are Landlord's sole asset. The rents to be paid by Tenant
to Landlord hereunder will be used by Landlord to, among other things, satisfy
Landlord's obligations under the Loan Documents. It is, therefore, the parties'
objective to provide for an absolute "Bond Type" net net net lease to Landlord;
the Basic Rent (as hereinafter defined) payable by Tenant hereunder shall be an
absolute "Bond Type" net net net return to Landlord and Tenant shall pay all
costs and expenses relating to the Premises and Tenant's research and
manufacturing operations carried on therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the aforesaid Recitals, and in
consideration of the Premises leased by Landlord to Tenant hereby, and in
consideration of the rents and covenants to be paid and performed by Tenant
hereunder, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties covenant and agree as
follows:
I. LEASE.
------
1.1. DEMISE OF PREMISES. In consideration of the rents and
covenants herein stipulated to be paid and performed, Landlord hereby demises
the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant hereby lets and accepts the Premises from
Landlord, for the term herein described.
1.2. TITLE AND CONDITION. The Premises are demised and let "as
is" subject to (a) the rights of any parties in possession and the existing
state of the title as of the commencement of the term of this Lease, (b) any
state of facts which an accurate survey or physical inspection thereof might
show, (c) all zoning regulations, restrictions, rules and ordinances, building
restrictions and other laws and regulations now in effect or hereafter adopted
by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the condition of any
buildings, structures and other improvements located thereon, as of the
commencement of the term of this Lease, without representation or warranty by
Landlord. Tenant represents that it has examined the title to and the condition
of the Premises and has found the same to be satisfactory to it.
98
1.3. USE OF LEASED PREMISES.
(a) Tenant may occupy and use the Premises for a research
facility and related uses, including the manufacturing of pharmaceutical
products, office uses, laboratories and light warehousing, or for any other
lawful purpose, (except that the Premises may not be used for or associated with
a pornographic shop, adult book store, or massage parlor) so long as such other
lawful purpose would not (i) have a material adverse effect on the value of the
Premises, (ii) increase (when compared to use as a research facility) the
likelihood that Tenant, Landlord or Lender would incur liability under any
provisions of any Environmental Laws, or (iii) result in or give rise to any
material environmental deterioration or degradation of the Premises, including
without limitation, mining or the removal of oil, gas or minerals, or (iv)
violate any covenants, easement agreements, deed restrictions, agreements of
record affecting the Premises or Applicable Laws. Tenant shall not create or
suffer to exist any public or private nuisance, hazardous or illegal condition
or waste on or with respect to the Premises. Tenant shall not use, occupy or
permit any of the Premises to be used or occupied, nor do or permit anything to
be done in or on any of the Premises, in a manner which would (A) make void or
voidable any insurance which Tenant is required hereunder to maintain then in
force with respect to any of the Premises, or (B) affect the ability of Tenant
to obtain any insurance which Tenant is required to furnish hereunder, or (C)
impair Landlord's title to the Premises, or in such manner as might reasonably
make possible a claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the
public, as such, or third Persons, or of implied dedication of the Premises or
any portion thereof. Nothing contained in this Lease and no action by Landlord
shall be construed to mean that Landlord has granted to Tenant any authority to
do any act or make any agreement that may create any such third party or public
right, title, interest, lien, charge or other encumbrance upon the estate of the
Landlord in the Premises. The preceding sentence does not limit Tenant's right
to assign or sublet its interest hereunder, as provided in Section 8.
(b) Tenant shall not conduct its business operation in
the Premises unless and until (and only during such time as) all necessary
certificates of occupancy, permits, licenses and consents from any and all
appropriate governmental authorities have been obtained by Tenant and are in
full force and effect.
1.4. QUIET ENJOYMENT. For so long as no Event of Default (as
hereinafter defined) has occurred and is continuing hereunder, Landlord warrants
peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the Premises by Tenant against acts of Landlord
or anyone claiming through Landlord, provided that Landlord and its agents may
enter upon and examine the Premises at reasonable times upon 24 hours prior
notice, except in the event of a bona fide emergency. Exercise by Landlord of
its rights to come upon the Premises as set forth in this Lease, including any
limitations prescribed by federal law, shall not constitute a violation of this
Section 1.4.
II. TERM.
-----
2.1. TERM. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Tenant
shall have and hold the Premises for a primary term (herein called the "Primary
Term") commencing on the date hereof, and ending at midnight on December 31,
2010. Thereafter, Tenant shall have the rights and options to extend this Lease
for two (2) consecutive extended terms of five (5) years each (herein called the
"Extended Terms" and individually, an "Extended Term," and together with the
Primary Term, called the "Terms") upon the expiration of the Primary Term or the
preceding Extended Term unless this Lease shall be sooner terminated pursuant to
99
Article VII of this Lease. If no default or Event of Default shall exist and be
continuing hereunder beyond any applicable cure period, each Extended Term shall
commence on the day immediately succeeding the expiration date of the Primary
Term or the preceding Extended Term and shall end at midnight on the day
immediately preceding the fifth anniversary of the first day of such Term.
Provided no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing at the time of
exercise of such option, Tenant may exercise each said option to extend this
Lease for an Extended Term by giving written notice to that effect at least
eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the then existing term.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant fails to give notice to Landlord to
extend the Term of the Lease within said eighteen (18) month period, Landlord
shall give written notice to Tenant of said failure to give notice and Tenant
shall have an additional thirty (30) days after said notice is given to exercise
said Extended Term. If Tenant does not exercise any such option in a timely
manner after such notice, then Landlord shall have the right during the
remainder of the Term of this Lease to advertise the availability of the
Premises for sale or reletting and to erect upon the Premises signs appropriate
for the purpose of indicating such availability. The phrase "term of this Lease"
or "term hereof" means the Primary Term, plus any Extended Terms with respect to
which the right has been exercised. The term "Lease Year" shall mean such
successive period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months commencing on the
"Commencement Date" (hereinafter defined). Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all of the provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during
each Extended Term.

irrevocably agrees to make the Basic Rent payments directly to Lender for so
long as the Note is outstanding. Thereafter, Tenant shall make Basic Rent

immediately available funds on the Basic Rent Payment Date; provided, however,

with every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added by the party to

one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay real estate taxes
payable, or estimated by Landlord to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve
(12) months.

following Tenant's execution of this Lease, and thereafter at all times during
the continuance of this Lease shall maintain on deposit with Landlord, a
security deposit in an amount equal to two (2) months Basic Rent under the
Primary Term ("Security Deposit"). Tenant shall pay the Security Deposit on the
understanding (a) that the Security Deposit or any portion thereof may be
applied to the curing of any default that may exist, without prejudice to any
other remedy or remedies that Landlord may have on account thereof, and upon
such application Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the amount so applied which
shall be added to the Security Deposit so that the same will be restored to the
required amount; (b) that should the Premises be transferred by Landlord, the
Security Deposit or any balance thereof may be turned over to Landlord's
successor or transferee, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor or
transferee for such application or return; (c) that Landlord or its successors
shall hold the Security Deposit as a separate fund and shall not commingle it
with other funds; (d) that the Security Deposit shall not be deemed prepaid
rent; and (e) that if Tenant shall faithfully perform all of the covenants and
agreements in this Lease contained on the part of Tenant to be performed, the
Security Deposit, or any then remaining balance thereof, shall be returned to
Tenant, without interest, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the
Terms.
3.5. TRUE LEASE. Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease is
a true lease and does not represent a financing arrangement.
3.6. NET LEASE; NON-TERMINABILITY.
(a) This is an absolutely net lease to Landlord. It is
the intent of the parties hereto that the Basic Rent payable under this Lease
shall be an absolutely net return to Landlord and that Tenant shall pay all
costs and expenses relating to the Premises and all operations carried on
therein, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Lease. Any amount or
obligation herein relating to the Premises which is not expressly declared to be
that of Landlord shall be deemed to be an obligation of Tenant to be timely
performed by Tenant at Tenant's expense. Basic Rent, Additional Rent and all
other sums payable hereunder by Tenant, shall be paid without notice, demand,
set-off, counterclaim, abatement, suspension, deduction or defense.
(b) This Lease shall not terminate nor shall Tenant have
any right to terminate this Lease (except as otherwise expressly provided in
Article VII), nor shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent
hereunder (except as expressly provided in Article VII of this Lease), nor shall
the obligations of Tenant under this Lease be affected by reason of: (i) any
damage to or destruction of all or any part of the Premises from whatever cause;
(ii) the taking in whole or in part of the Premises or any portion thereof by
condemnation, requisition or otherwise except as provided in Article VII; (iii)
the prohibition, limitation or restriction of Tenant's use of all or any part of
the Premises, or any interference with such use; (iv) any eviction by paramount
title or otherwise or any other defect in title or breach of the right of Tenant
to quiet enjoyment of the Premises; (v) Tenant's acquisition or ownership of all
or any of the Premises otherwise than as expressly provided herein; (vi) any
default on the part of Landlord under this Lease, or under any other agreement
to which Landlord and Tenant may be parties; (vii) any abandonment of the
Premises by Tenant; or (viii) any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to
the foregoing, any present or future law to the contrary notwithstanding. It is
the intention of the parties hereto that the obligations of Tenant hereunder
shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, that the Basic Rent,
the Additional Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall
continue to be payable in all events and that the obligations of Tenant
hereunder shall continue unaffected, unless the requirement to pay or perform
the same shall have been terminated pursuant to Article VII of this Lease.
102
(c) Tenant agrees that it will remain obligated under
this Lease in accordance with its terms, and it will not take any action to
terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease because of: (i) any readjustment,
liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up or other proceeding affecting Landlord
or its successors-in-interest or (ii) any action with respect to this Lease
which may be taken by any trustee or receiver of Landlord or its
successors-in-interest or by any court in any such proceeding.
(d) Tenant waives all rights which may now or hereafter
be conferred by law or otherwise (i) to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease
or the Premises or any part thereof, or (ii) to any abatement, suspension,
deferment or reduction of the Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other sums
payable under this Lease, except as otherwise provided in Article VII of this
Lease.
(e) Under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to
make any payment of any kind hereunder or to have any obligation with respect to
the use, possession, control, maintenance, alteration, rebuilding, replacing,
repairing, restoration or operation of all or any part of the Premises.
IV. PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS, TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS; COMPLIANCE
WITH LAW; ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.
---------------------------------------------------------
4.1. PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS. Tenant shall pay or discharge all
Impositions (as hereinafter defined) when due. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provision of this Section 4.1, Tenant shall not be required to pay any
franchise, corporate, estate, inheritance, succession, transfer (other than
transfer taxes, recording fees, or similar charges payable in connection with a
conveyance hereunder to Tenant), income, excess profits or revenue taxes of
Landlord hereunder. In the event the Premises are sold by Landlord during the
Terms, Tenant shall not be responsible for the payment of real estate taxes
based on an assessed value in excess of 125% of the current appraised value of
the Premises. Tenant agrees to furnish to Landlord and Lender, evidence of the
payment of the taxes and other Impositions described in Section 11.12(a) within
fifteen (15) days after payment thereof. In the event that any Imposition levied
or assessed against the Premises becomes due and payable during the term hereof
and may be legally paid in installments, Tenant shall have the option to pay
such Imposition in installments. In such event, Tenant shall be liable only for
those installments which become due and payable during the term hereof.
4.2. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Tenant shall, at its expense,
comply with and shall cause the Premises to comply with all governmental
statutes, laws, rules, orders, regulations and ordinances, including without
limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as the same may be
amended from time to time, all fire regulations, occupational health and safety
laws, applicable point of sale laws, building codes, Environmental Laws
(hereafter defined), zoning and land use laws and regulations ("Applicable
Laws"), and any other law the failure to comply with which at any time would
affect the Premises or any part thereof, or the use thereof, including those
which require the making of any structural, unforeseen or extraordinary changes,
whether or not any of the same involve a change of policy on the part of the
body enacting the same. Tenant shall, at its expense, comply with all changes
required in order to obtain the Required Insurance (as hereinafter defined), and
with the provisions of all contracts, agreements, instruments, easements,
restrictions, reservations or covenants existing at the commencement of this
Lease or thereafter suffered or permitted by Tenant affecting the Premises or
any part thereof or the ownership, occupancy or use thereof. To the extent
otherwise applicable hereunder, Landlord agrees to comply with all Environmental
Laws and Applicable Laws in connection with its ownership of the Premises.
103
4.3. PERMITTED CONTESTS. Tenant shall not be required to: (i)
pay any Imposition; (ii) comply with any statute, law, rule, order, regulation
or ordinance; (iii) discharge or remove any lien, encumbrance or charge; or (iv)
obtain any waivers or settlements or make any changes or take any action with
respect to any encroachment, hindrance, obstruction, violation or impairment
referred to in Section 5.3, so long as Tenant shall contest, in good faith and
at its expense, the existence, the amount or the validity thereof, the amount of
the damages caused thereby, or the extent of its liability therefor, by
appropriate proceedings. While any such proceedings are pending, Landlord shall
not have the right to pay, remove or cause to be discharged the tax, assessment,
levy, fee, rent or charge or lien, encumbrance or charge thereby being
contested. Tenant shall deposit in escrow a sum no less than 125% of the amount
being contested (or bond over or furnish alternate security satisfactory to
Landlord) as security for the payment of Impositions which Tenant may ultimately
be held responsible for. For so long as the Note is outstanding, the escrow
account for permitted contests shall be established with Lender or Lender's
designee and the cost of such escrow shall be borne by Tenant. No such contest
or proceedings shall in any way eliminate or otherwise interfere with Tenant's
obligation to make timely payments of Basic Rent and additional rent under this
Lease. Tenant further agrees that each such contest shall be promptly prosecuted
to a final conclusion. Tenant shall pay, indemnify and save Landlord and Lender
harmless against, any and all losses, judgments, decrees and costs (including
all attorneys' fees, appearance costs and expenses) in connection with any such
contest and shall, promptly after the final settlement, compromise or
determination of such contest, fully pay and discharge the amounts which shall
be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or be determined to be payable therein
or in connection therewith, together with all penalties, fines, interests, costs
and expenses thereof or in connection therewith, and perform all acts, the
performance of which shall be ordered or decreed as a result thereof; provided,
however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to require Tenant to
pay or discharge any lien, encumbrance or other charge created by any act or
failure to act of Landlord or the payment of which Tenant is not otherwise
required to perform hereunder. No such contest shall subject Landlord or Lender
to the risk of any criminal or putative civil liability.
4.4. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Tenant shall:
(a) not cause, except for items sold or used in the
ordinary course of Tenant's business in compliance with Applicable Laws and for

any construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the
Premises or any part thereof by any contractor, subcontractor, laborer,
materialman or vendor. Notice is hereby given that Landlord will not be liable

original or duplicate of such policy or certificates evidencing the renewal of
any such policy. If Tenant fails to maintain or renew any required insurance, or
to pay the premium therefor, or to deliver such certificate, then Landlord, at
its option, but without obligation to do so, may, after giving Tenant notice
thereof, procure such insurance. Any sums so expended by Landlord shall be
Additional Rent hereunder and shall be repaid by Tenant within five (5) days
after notice to Tenant of such expenditure and the amount thereof.
6.6. NO DOUBLE COVERAGE. Neither Tenant nor Landlord shall
obtain or carry separate insurance covering the same risks as any Required
Insurance unless Tenant, Landlord and Lender are included therein as named
insured, with loss payable as provided in this Lease and the policy contains a
first mortgagee endorsement in favor of the Lender. Tenant and Landlord shall
immediately notify each other whenever any such separate insurance is obtained
and shall deliver to each other the policies or certificates evidencing the
same.
6.7. BLANKET INSURANCE. Anything contained in this Article VI

"blanket" or "umbrella" policy or policies covering other property or
liabilities of Tenant, provided that such policies otherwise comply with the
provisions of this Lease and specify the coverage and amounts thereof with
respect to the Premises.
111
6.8. DAMAGES FOR TENANT'S FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSURE. Landlord
or Lender shall not be limited in the proof of any damages which Landlord or
Lender may claim against Tenant arising out of or by reason of Tenant's failure
to provide and keep in force insurance, as provided above, to the amount of the
insurance premium or premiums not paid or incurred by Tenant and which would
have been payable under such insurance; but Landlord and Lender shall also be
entitled to recover as damages for such breach, the uninsured amount of any
loss, to the extent of any deficiency in the Required Insurance and damages,
costs and expenses of suit suffered or incurred by reason of or damage to, or
destruction of, the Premises, occurring during any period when Tenant shall have
failed to provide the Required Insurance. Tenant shall indemnify and hold

Lender thereof within five (5) Business Days, and shall, with reasonable
promptness and diligence, rebuild, replace and repair any damage or destruction

5.4(a) hereof, in such manner as to restore the same to the same or better
condition as existed prior to such casualty, using materials of the same or
better grade than that of the materials being replaced, and there shall be no
abatement of Basic Rent or Additional Rent. Proceeds of casualty insurance of
$100,000.00 or less shall be paid to Tenant. Proceeds in excess of $100,000.00
shall be held by Landlord or a proceeds trustee (which shall be Lender or
Lender's designee for so long as the Note is outstanding, or an escrow or title
company, or a bank or trust company designated by Landlord thereafter) and paid
to Tenant, but only against certificates of Tenant and appropriate lien waivers
delivered to Landlord from time to time, but not more frequently than once per
calendar month, as such work or repair progresses. Each such certificate shall
describe the work or repair for which Tenant is requesting payment and the cost
incurred by Tenant in connection therewith and stating that Tenant has not
theretofore received payment for such work and has sufficient funds remaining to
complete the work free of liens or claims. Any proceeds remaining after Tenant
has repaired the Premises shall be delivered to Landlord; provided, however,
that if such aggregate amounts exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000),
the excess shall, at Lender's direction and with Lender's written consent at its
sole discretion, be applied in reduction of the principal amount of the Note or
paid to Tenant; provided further, however, that no payment shall be made to
Tenant if any material or monetary default or Event of Default shall have
happened and be continuing under this Lease. If the excess is applied to the
remaining principal outstanding under the Note, the Note shall be reamortized
and monthly payment of Basic Rent payable on or after the second Basic Rent
Payment Date occurring after such application shall be reduced in an amount
equal to the amount by which the monthly payment under the Note has been
reduced. The foregoing references to "Note" shall mean the Note and any future
promissory note that may be issued in connection with a refinancing of the
Mortgage
6.10. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Tenant agrees to pay, and to protect, defend,
indemnify and save harmless Landlord, Lender and their agents from and against
any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including all
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of Landlord and Lender), causes of
action, suits, claims, demands or judgments of any nature whatsoever that may be
suffered or imposed on or asserted against any of them (i) arising from any
injury to, or the death of, any person or damage to property (including property
of employees and invitees of Tenant) on the Premises or upon adjoining
sidewalks, streets or ways or elsewhere, in any manner growing out of or
connected with the use, non-use, condition or occupation of the Premises or any
part thereof, so long as not occasioned by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord, Lender, their agents, servants, employees or assigns,
and/or (ii) arising from violation by Tenant of any agreement or condition of
this Lease, or any contract
112
or agreement to which Tenant is a party or any restriction, law, ordinance or
regulation, including without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act of
1990 and all regulations issued thereunder, in each case affecting the Premises
or any part thereof or the ownership, occupancy or use thereof, so long as not
occasioned by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Lender, their
agents, servants, employees or assigns; (iii) arising out of any permitted
contest referred to in Section 4.3 (collectively, "Indemnified Matters"). If
Landlord, Lender or any agent of Landlord or Lender shall be made a party to any
such litigation commenced against Tenant, and if Tenant, at its expense, shall
fail to provide Landlord, Lender or their agents with counsel (upon Landlord's
request) reasonably approved by Landlord, Tenant shall pay all costs and
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred or paid by Landlord, Lender or their
agents in connection with such litigation. Tenant's obligations and liabilities
under this Section 6.10 shall survive the expiration of this Lease. Tenant
waives all claims against Landlord arising form any liability described in this
Section 6.10 (a), except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord, Lender, their agents, servants, employees or assigns.
The waiver and indemnity provisions in this paragraph are intended to exculpate
and indemnify each of Landlord and Lender (i) from and against the consequences
of its own negligence or fault when Landlord or Lender are solely negligent or
contributorily, partially, jointly, comparatively or concurrently negligent with
Tenant or any other person (but is not solely or grossly negligent, has not
committed an intentional act or made an intentional omission) and (ii) from and
against any liability of Landlord or Lender based on any applicable doctrine of
strict liability.
(b) Should any claim be made against Landlord by a person not
a party to this Lease with respect to any Indemnified Matter, Landlord shall
promptly give Tenant written notice of any such claim, and Tenant shall
thereafter defend or settle any such claim, at its sole expense, on its own
behalf and with counsel of its selection; provided, however, that Tenant's
counsel shall be competent counsel experienced in the type of litigation or
claim at issue and shall be acceptable to Landlord, acting reasonably. Upon
Tenant's assumption of the defense of any claim against Landlord pursuant to
Tenant's indemnity, Landlord shall have the right to participate in the defense
or settlement of the claim with counsel retained and paid by it, and Tenant
shall cause the attorneys retained by it to consult and cooperate fully with
counsel for Landlord. In such defense or settlement of any claims, Landlord
shall provide Tenant with originals or copies of all relevant documents and
shall cooperate with and assist Tenant, at no expense to Landlord.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6.10 to the contrary, Tenant shall
not enter into any settlement or agreement in connection with any Indemnified
Matters binding upon or adversely affecting either Landlord or Lender, or admit
any liability or fact in controversy binding upon or adversely affecting either
Landlord or Lender, without the prior written consent of Landlord or Lender, as
the case may be, in such party's sole discretion.
VII. CONDEMNATION.
-------------
7.1. ASSIGNMENT OF AWARD. Subject to the rights of Tenant set
forth in this Article VII, Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord any
award or payment to which Tenant may be or become entitled with respect to
Complete, Partial or Temporary Taking (all as hereinafter defined) of the
Premises or any part thereof, by condemnation or other eminent domain
proceedings pursuant to any law, general or special, by any governmental
authority, whether the same shall be paid or payable in respect of Tenant's
leasehold interest hereunder or otherwise. Landlord and Tenant agree that as
long as the Note is outstanding, Lender shall hold all proceeds until disbursed
pursuant to the terms hereof. Landlord and Lender shall be entitled to
participate in any such proceeding and the expenses thereof (including counsel
fees and expenses) shall be paid by Tenant.
7.2. DEFINITIONS FOR ARTICLE VII.
113
(a) "Complete Taking" shall mean the occurrence of any
actual or threatened condemnation or other eminent domain proceeding pursuant to
any general or special law, or any agreement with an authority having the power
of eminent domain, which results in the taking or conveyance of (i) the entire
Premises or (ii) such a significant portion of the Premises that, in the good
faith judgment of Tenant, it is uneconomic to rebuild or restore the remaining
portion of the Premises for the continued operation of the Premises.
(b) "Partial Taking" shall mean the occurrence of any
taking of a portion of the Premises by condemnation or other eminent domain
proceedings, or any agreement with an authority having the power of eminent
domain, which does not result in a Complete Taking.
(c) "Temporary Taking" shall mean the occurrence of a
temporary taking of the use or occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof by
any governmental authority.
(d) "Net Award" shall mean all amounts payable as a
result of any condemnation or other eminent domain proceeding and all amounts
payable pursuant to any agreement with any condemning authority (which agreement
shall be deemed to be a taking) which has been made in settlement of or under
threat of any condemnation or other eminent domain proceeding affecting the
Premises, less all expenses incurred as a result thereof not otherwise paid by
Tenant and the collection of such amounts.
(e) "Purchase Offer" shall mean a purchase offer as
described in this Article VII with a Purchase Price hereafter defined.
7.3. COMPLETE TAKING. Upon the occurrence of a Complete
Taking, Tenant shall deliver a Purchase Offer to Landlord, with a copy to
Lender, specifying a Termination Date occurring not less than thirty (30) nor
more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the delivery of such Purchase
Offer and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without any
abatement of rent, notwithstanding any taking, until the Termination Date as
defined herein. The Purchase Offer shall contain a purchase price ("Purchase
Price") which is the greater of the Net Award or the lesser of (a) Landlord's
acquisition cost of the Premises, or (b) the amount of the first mortgage
against the Premises, including any prepayment penalties, plus Landlord's
unamortized equity in the Premises based on a twenty year term at 7%, plus the
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Landlord and Lender relating to the
purchase, and shall be accompanied by a Tenant's Certificate stating that a
"Complete Taking" has occurred within the meaning of clause (a) of Section 7.2.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the
Purchase Price be less than the full amount due Lender under the Loan Documents.
If Tenant shall fail to deliver a Purchase Offer as required above, Tenant shall
be conclusively presumed to have made a Purchase Offer on a date which is one
hundred twenty (120) days after any such taking (or such later date as is agreed
to in writing by Landlord), and in the event Tenant is so presumed to have made
a Purchase Offer, the Termination Date shall be deemed to be one hundred fifty
(150) days after such Purchase Offer is presumed to have been made; but nothing
in this sentence shall relieve Tenant of its obligation actually to deliver such
Purchase Offer. No Basic Rent or Additional Rent shall ▇▇▇▇▇ through the
Termination Date.
7.4. PARTIAL TAKING. Upon the occurrence of any Partial
Taking, this Lease shall continue in full effect without abatement or reduction
of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other sums payable by Tenant. In the event
Landlord receives a Net Award in connection with any such Partial Taking,
Landlord shall make the Net Award available to Tenant to make any repairs
required by Section 5.4 hereof so that, thereafter, the Premises shall be, as
114
nearly as possible, in a condition as good as the condition thereof immediately
prior to such Partial Taking, but, if such Net Award shall be in excess of One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), only if there is no default or Event of
Default and Tenant delivers to Landlord of (i) certificates of Tenant
identifying the repair work for which Tenant is requesting payment and the cost
incurred by Tenant in connection therewith and stating that Tenant has not
theretofore received payment for such work; and (ii) appropriate lien waivers.
Any Net Award remaining after such repairs have been made shall be delivered to
Tenant; but only to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Net Award so
remaining and all amounts theretofore paid to Tenant pursuant to this sentence
do not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). If such amounts exceed
One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the excess may, at Lender's direction
and with Lender's written consent at its sole option, be applied in reduction of
the outstanding principal amount of the Note, in accordance with the terms of
the Loan Documents. If the excess is applied to the remaining principal
outstanding under the Note, the Note shall be reamortized and monthly payment of
Basic Rent payable on or after the second Basic Rent Payment Date occurring
after such application shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount by
which the monthly payment under the Note has been reduced.
7.5. TEMPORARY TAKING. Upon the occurrence of any Temporary
Taking, Tenant shall, promptly after any such Temporary Taking ceases, at its
expense, repair any damage caused thereby in conformity with the requirements of
Section 5.4 hereof so that, thereafter, the Premises shall be, as nearly as
possible, in a condition as good as the condition thereof immediately prior to
such Temporary Taking. In the event of such Temporary Taking, Tenant shall be
entitled to receive the entire Net Award payable by reason of such Temporary
Taking, less any costs incurred by the Landlord in connection therewith. If the
cost of any repairs required to be made by Tenant pursuant to this Section 7.5
shall exceed the amount of the Net Award, the deficiency shall be paid by
Tenant. No payments shall be made to Tenant pursuant to this Section 7.5, if any
default or Event of Default shall have happened and shall be continuing under
this Lease. Basic Rent shall ▇▇▇▇▇ through the duration of such Temporary
Taking.
7.6. PROCEDURE AFTER PURCHASE OFFER; PROCEDURE ON EVENT OF
PURCHASE.
(a) If Landlord shall have accepted the Purchase Offer in
writing, Landlord shall convey the Premises to Tenant for the Purchase Price
contained therein, giving due credit, if any, against such Purchase Price to
Tenant for any Net Award received and retained by Landlord.
(b) If the Premises or any part thereof shall be
purchased by Tenant under Article VII of this Lease, Landlord need not transfer
and convey to Tenant or its designee any better title thereto than existed on
the date of the commencement of this Lease, and Tenant shall accept such title,
subject, however, to such liens, encumbrances, charges, exceptions and
restrictions, against or relating to the Premises, (i) including those arising
pursuant to the terms of this Lease and (ii) subject to all applicable laws,
regulations and ordinances, but free of the Mortgage and all other mortgages,
liens, encumbrances, charges, exceptions and restrictions which shall have been
created by or resulted from acts or failures to act of Landlord.
(c) On the date fixed for any such purchase, which shall
be the next Payment Date as defined in the Loan Commitment, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, at any place within the United States of America designated by
Landlord before 2:00 P.M. Pacific Time, the Purchase Price therefor, in
immediately available funds, together with all installments of Basic Rent and
all other sums then due under this Lease and unpaid to and including the
purchase date without offset or deduction for any reason, and Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant: (i) a special grant deed conveying title to the Premises and
describing the Premises or portion thereof being sold and conveying the title
thereto; (ii) such instruments as shall be necessary to transfer to Tenant or
its designee any other property then required to be transferred by Landlord
115
pursuant to this Lease; and (iii) an assignment of condemnation awards due in
connection with the Property, but not yet paid to the Landlord or Lender. Tenant
shall pay all charges incident to such conveyance and transfer, including
Landlord and Lender's reasonable counsel fees, escrow fees, recording fees,
title insurance premiums and all applicable federal, state and local taxes
(other than any income, sales, rental receipts, or franchise taxes levied upon
or assessed against Landlord) which may be incurred or imposed by reason of such
conveyance and transfer.
(d) Upon the completion of such purchase, but not prior
thereto, this Lease and all obligations hereunder (including the obligations to
pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent) shall terminate, except with respect to any
obligations and liabilities of Tenant, actual or contingent, under this Lease
which arose on or prior to such date of purchase, and with respect to such
obligations and liabilities they shall survive the Termination of the Lease.
(e) If Landlord (with the written consent of Lender)
shall have tendered a written rejection of the Purchase Offer not later than the
tenth (10th) day prior to the Termination Date specified in such Purchase Offer,
this Lease shall terminate on such Termination Date (except with respect to
obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease, actual or contingent,
which have arisen on or prior to such Termination Date), upon payment by Tenant
of all of the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums due and payable
hereunder to and including the Termination Date without offset or deduction for
any reason. If Landlord shall fail to accept or reject the Purchase Offer within
the times allotted, Landlord shall be conclusively presumed to have accepted the
Purchase Offer.
7.7. COMPENSATION FOR PERSONAL PROPERTY AND RELOCATION
EXPENSES. Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning
authority any such compensation as may be awarded to Tenant for the value of
furniture, equipment owned by Tenant, removal of merchandise, moving and
relocation expenses, goodwill, or damage to Tenant's research and development
operations conducted at the Premises.
VIII. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
--------------------------
8.1. POWER TO ASSIGN AND SUBLET. Provided that no Event of
Default shall be continuing and Landlord shall have first given its consent
thereto, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
Tenant may assign all its rights and interests under this Lease or sublet all or
any part of the Premises (provided that each such assignment or sublease is
expressly made subject to all of the provisions, including the use provisions of
Section 1.3 of this Lease) and may assign all its rights and interests under
this Lease. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after the execution and delivery
of any such assignment or the sublease of all or substantially all of the
Premises, deliver a conformed copy thereof to Landlord. Within ten (10) days
after the execution and delivery of any sublease of a portion of the Premises,
Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of the existence and term thereof, and of
the same name and address of the sublessee thereunder. Such sublease shall not
relieve Tenant of any responsibilities or obligations of the Lease. Tenant shall
comply with all the terms and provisions of any sublease.
8.2. ASSUMPTION BY ASSIGNEE OR TRANSFEREE; TENANT REMAINS
LIABLE. If Tenant assigns all its rights and interests under this Lease, or
sells or otherwise transfers all of substantially all of its assets as set forth
in Section 11.7, the transferee or the assignee under such assignment shall
expressly assume all the obligations of Tenant hereunder in an instrument
delivered to Landlord at the time of such assignment. No assignment or sublease
made as permitted by this Article VIII or merger, consolidation, sale or
transfer of assets made as set forth in Section 11.7 shall affect or reduce any
of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and all such obligations shall continue
116
in full force and effect as obligations of a principal and not as obligations of
a guarantor or surety, to the same extent as though no assignment, subletting,
merger, consolidation, sale or transfer of assets had been made, provided that
performance by any such assignee, sublessee, surviving Person or transferee of
any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be deemed to be
performance by Tenant. No sublease or assignment made as permitted by this
Article VIII or merger, consolidation, or sale or transfer of assets made as
permitted by Section 11.7 shall impose any obligations on Landlord or otherwise
affect any of the rights of Landlord under this Lease. At Landlord's option, the
assignee, sublessee, surviving Person or transferee, as applicable, shall have
direct responsibility to Landlord and shall have the same obligations of Tenant
as required under this Lease.
8.3. OTHER TRANSFERS VOID. Except as hereafter provided,
neither this Lease nor the Term hereby demised shall be mortgaged by Tenant, nor
shall Tenant mortgage or pledge the interest of Tenant in and to any sublease of
the Premises or the rentals payable thereunder. Any mortgage, pledge, sublease
or assignment made in violation of this Article VIII shall be void.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, without Landlord's consent, mortgage,
pledge or convey a security interest in Tenant's leasehold interest in the
Premises ("Leasehold Mortgage") for financing purposes. As used in this Section
8.3, the term "Leasehold Mortgage" shall mean a deed of trust, mortgage or other
instrument encumbering Tenant's leasehold. A Leasehold Mortgage shall be subject
to all of the terms and conditions stated in this Lease and to all rights and
interests of Landlord. No Leasehold Mortgage shall extend to or otherwise affect
the interest or estate of Landlord in and to the Premises. Prior to the time of
the recordation of a Leasehold Mortgage, Tenant shall deliver a copy thereof to
Landlord, together with a written notice containing the name and address of
Tenant's lender.
IX. FINANCIAL INFORMATION.
----------------------
9.1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Tenant will furnish to Landlord and
Lender (i) Tenant's annual audited financial statements within ninety (90) days
after the end of Tenant's fiscal year, and (ii) Tenant's unaudited quarterly
financial statements within the time frame required for filing quarterly
statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but in no event later
than forty five (45) days following the end of the first three quarters of the
fiscal year. Audited financial statements shall be accompanied by an opinion
from a "Big Five" accounting firm or other certified public accounting firm
reasonably acceptable to Lender and Landlord and prepared according to generally
accepted accounting principles.
X. DEFAULT.
--------
10.1. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Any of the following occurrences or
acts shall constitute an event of default (herein called an "Event of Default")
under this Lease:
(a) If Tenant, at any time during the continuance of this
Lease (and regardless of the pendency of any bankruptcy, reorganization,
receivership, insolvency or other proceedings at law, in equity, or before any
administrative tribunal, which have or might have the effect of preventing
Tenant from complying with the terms of this Lease), shall (i) fail to make any
payment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent within five (5) days of when due, or
(ii) fail to make any payment of any other sum herein required to be paid by
Tenant hereunder or (iii) fail to provide and keep in force the insurance
required by Section 6 hereunder, or (iv) fail to observe or perform any other
provision hereof (with the exception of any payment or insurance provisions
which failure shall constitute an Event of Default under (a)(i), (ii) and (iii)
hereof) for thirty (30) days after written notice (provided, that in the case of
any default referred to in this Lease which cannot with diligence be cured
within such thirty (30) day period, if Tenant shall proceed promptly to cure the
same and thereafter shall prosecute the curing of such default with diligence,
then upon receipt by Landlord of a Tenant's Certificate stating the reason such
default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days and stating that Tenant is
proceeding with due diligence to cure such default, the time within which such
failure may be cured shall be extended for such period as may be necessary to
complete the curing of the same with diligence but in no event longer than one
hundred twenty (120) days); or
117
(b) If any representation or warranty of Tenant set forth
in any notice, certificate, demand, request or other instrument delivered
pursuant to, or in connection with this Lease or the Assignment, shall either
prove to be false or misleading in any material respect as of the time when the
same shall have been made; or
(c) If Tenant shall file a petition commencing a
voluntary case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any federal or state law (as
now or hereafter in effect) relating bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
winding-up or adjustment of debts (hereinafter collectively called "Bankruptcy
Law") or if Tenant shall: (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of, or the
taking of possession by, any receiver, custodian, trustee, United States Trustee
or liquidator (or other similar official) of the Premises or any part thereof or
of any substantial portion of Tenant's property; or (ii) generally not pay its
debts as they become due, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due; or (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit
of its creditors; or (iv) file a petition commencing a voluntary case under or
seeking to take advantage of any Bankruptcy Law; or (v) fail to controvert in
timely and appropriate manner, or in writing acquiesce to, any petition
commencing an involuntary case against Tenant or otherwise filed against Tenant
pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law; or (vi) take any action in furtherance of any of
the foregoing; or
(d) If an order for relief against Tenant shall be
entered in any involuntary case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar
order against Tenant shall be entered pursuant to any other Bankruptcy Law, or
if a petition commencing an involuntary case against Tenant or proposing the
reorganization of Tenant under any Bankruptcy Law shall be filed and not be
discharged or denied within sixty (60) days after such filing, or if a
proceeding or case shall be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction
seeking: (i) the liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding-up or
adjustment of debts of Tenant; or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, custodian,
trustee, United States Trustee or liquidator (or any similar official) of the
Premises or any part thereof or of Tenant or of any substantial portion of
Tenant's property; or (iii) any similar relief as to Tenant pursuant to any
Bankruptcy Law, and any such proceeding or case shall continue undismissed, or
an order, judgment or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be
entered and continue unstayed and in effect for sixty (60) days; or
(e) If the Premises shall be left both unattended and
without maintenance as provided herein, for a period of thirty (30) days or
more.
10.2. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have happened and be
continuing, Landlord shall have the right at its election to give Tenant twenty
(20) days written notice of Landlord's intention to terminate the term of this
Lease on a date specified in such notice. Thereupon, the term of this Lease and
the estate hereby granted shall terminate on such date as completely and with
the same effect as if such date were the date fixed herein for the expiration of
the term of this Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall terminate, but
Tenant shall remain liable as provided herein.
118
(b) If an Event of Default shall have happened and be
continuing Landlord shall have the immediate right, whether or not the term of
this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 10.2(a), to (i)
re-enter and repossess the Premises or any part thereof by any means permissible
under California law, (ii) remove all persons and property therefrom, Tenant
hereby expressly waiving any and all notices to quit, cure or vacate provided by
current or any future law; and (iii) collect from Tenant all sums due hereunder,
plus interest at the Default Rate. Landlord shall be under no liability by
reason of any such re-entry, repossession or removal. No such re-entry or taking
of possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on
Landlord's part to terminate the term of this Lease unless a written notice of
such intention to be given to Tenant pursuant to Section 10.2(a).
(c) At any time or from time to time after the
repossession of the Premises or any part thereof pursuant to Section 10.2(b),
whether or not the term of this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to
Section 10.2(a), Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof for the
account of Tenant, in the name of Tenant or Landlord or otherwise, without
notice to Tenant, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the
period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this
Lease) and on such conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) and
for such uses Landlord, in its absolute discretion, may determine, and Landlord
may collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting.
(d) No termination of the term of this Lease pursuant to
Section 10.2(a), by operation of law or otherwise, and no repossession of the
Premises or any part thereof pursuant to Section 10.2(b) or otherwise, and no
reletting of the Premises or any part thereof pursuant to Section 10.2(c), shall
relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall
survive such expiration, termination, repossession or reletting.
(e) At any time after such termination or repossession by
reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default, whether or not Landlord shall
have collected any current damages pursuant to this Section 10.2(e), Landlord
shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant will pay to Landlord on
demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant's default and
in lieu of all current damages beyond the date of such demand (it being agreed
that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual
damages), an amount equal to the present value of all rent payable under the
Lease beyond the date of such demand over the then present value of the then
fair market rental for the Premises, at the date of such demand for what would
be the unexpired term of the Lease, which present value shall in each case be
determined by the application of a discount factor of five percent (5%) per
annum; however, this amount shall not be less than any "make whole provision" in
favor of the Lender, including without limitation, any yield maintenance
premium, default interest and late charges specified in the Loan Documents in
connection with the indebtedness encumbered by the Premises. If any law,
including without limitation, California Civil Code Section 1951.2 or its
successor, shall be construed to limit the amount of such liquidated final
damages to less than the amount above agreed upon, Landlord shall be entitled to
the maximum amount allowable under such statute or rule of law. Landlord retains
all remedies described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated
herein, if an Event of Default shall have happened and be continuing, whether or
not Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises, Landlord may elect to continue
this Lease in effect for so long as the Landlord does not terminate Tenant's
right to possession of the Premises and Landlord may enforce all of its rights
and remedies hereunder including, without limitation, the right to recover all
Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other sums payable hereunder as the same become
due
119
10.3. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF LANDLORD. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other
right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute. The failure of Landlord to insist at
any time upon the strict performance of any covenant or agreement or to exercise
any option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall not be
construed as waiver or a relinquishment thereof for the future. A receipt by
Landlord of any Basic Rent, any Additional Rent or any other sum payable
hereunder with knowledge of the breach of any covenant or agreement contained in
this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by
Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless
expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. In addition to other remedies
provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, to injunctive relief in case of the violation, or attempted or
threatened violation, of any of the covenants, agreements, conditions or
provisions of this Lease, or to a decree compelling performance of any of the
covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to any other
remedy allowed to Landlord at law or in equity.
10.4. WAIVERS BY TENANT. Tenant hereby waives and surrenders
for itself and all those claiming under it, including creditors of all kinds,
(i) any right or privilege which it or any of them may have under any present or
future construction, statute or rule of law to redeem the Premises or to have a
continuance of this Lease for the term hereby demised after termination of
Tenant's right of occupancy by order or judgment of any court or by any legal
process or writ, or under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of
the term of this Lease as herein provided, and (ii) the benefits of any present
or future constitution, statute or rule of law which exempts property from
liability for debt or for distress for rent.
10.5. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event an action shall be brought
for the enforcement of any right set forth herein in connection with, and
subject to, the indemnification provisions contained in Section 6.10 hereof, the
non-prevailing party shall be liable for all of the reasonable expenses incurred
in connection therewith, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees.
120

▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Landlord and Tenant
shall each have the right from time to time to specify as its address for
purposes of this Lease any other address in the United States of America upon
giving fifteen (15) days written notice thereof, similarly given, to the other
party. Notices shall be deemed communicated upon the earlier of receipt, or
seventy-two (72) hours from the time of mailing if mailed as provided in this
Section 11.1 and on the Business Day or first Business Day following
transmission if given by facsimile.
11.2. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES AND CONSENTS.
(a) Tenant and Landlord will, from time to time, upon
not less than twenty (20) days prior request by Landlord or by Lender, execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the other party a Certificate in the form of Exhibit
"C" attached hereto certifying: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full
effect (or setting forth any modifications along with the statement that this
Lease as modified is in full effect ); (ii) that the Basic Rent and Additional
Rent payable and the dates to which the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other
sums payable hereunder have been paid and the most recent dates on which the
Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other sums payable hereunder have been paid;
(iii) that to the knowledge of Tenant, Landlord is not in any default of the
Lease which Tenant may have knowledge; (iv) the commencement and expiration
dates of the Lease; (v) the amount of any security or other deposits; (vi) that
either Tenant is in possession of the Premises or who is in possession; (vii)
any concessions or other rights that Tenant (including first refusal, option or
other occupancy claims) or Landlord may have; and (viii) such other matters as
may reasonably be required by the requesting party. Any such certificate may be
relied upon by any mortgagee, prospective purchaser, or prospective mortgagee of
the Premises. Tenant further agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lender and its
affiliates in the preparation and review of disclosure documents which may be
issued in connection with a secondary market transaction involving a sale or
securitization of the Loan. Landlord will be responsible for any reasonable
outside legal or accounting costs incurred by Tenant in connection with such
cooperation, in an amount not to exceed $2,500.00 unless otherwise approved by
Landlord.
(b) From time to time during the term of this Lease,
Landlord expects to secure financing of its interest in the Premises by
assigning Landlord's interest in this Lease and the sums payable hereunder. In
the event of any such assignment to Lender, Tenant will, upon not less than ten
(10) days prior request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord a consent clearly indicating (i) that Tenant is to make Basic Rent
payments or portions thereof directly to Lender or Lender's designee if required
by Lender, and (ii) consent to such assignment addressed to such lender in a
form satisfactory to Lender; and Tenant will use its best efforts to produce, at
Tenant's expense, such certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents as
may be reasonably requested by Lender, at a cost not to exceed $2,500.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will contribute one-half the cost of any
opinion of counsel requested by Lender. Tenant acknowledges that, by execution
hereof, it has agreed to make payments of Basic Rent or portions thereof
directly to Lender or Lender's designee, without further notice or direction if
required by Lender.
121
11.3. DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE. Fair market value
for purposes of Section 11.7.1 hereof shall be determined by an appraisal, which
shall be performed by an appraiser selected by Landlord, and paid by Tenant. Any
appraiser selected by Landlord shall have qualifications that include a minimum
of five (5) years of experience in the appraisal of commercial real estate in
Orange County. Such appraiser shall be disinterested, and shall be a member of a
nationally recognized appraisal association. Further, any such appraiser shall
comply with the licensing law then in effect for appraisers authorized to
perform general appraisals within the State of California. If there are then any
existing United States laws governing appraisers, said appraiser shall be in
compliance with the then applicable Federal laws for appraisers performing
appraisals of commercial real estate. In the event that Tenant disputes the
appraised fair market value determined by an appraiser (hereinafter the "First
Appraiser"), who performed an appraisal pursuant to this Section 11.3, it shall
so notify Landlord within five (5) days after receipt of such written
determination by the First Appraiser, and the disagreement shall be resolved as
follows:
(a) Within five (5) days after the service of such
notice by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall designate a second appraiser (the
"Second Appraiser"), who shall appraise the fair market value of the Premises,
assuming the provisions of this Lease (except the Basic Rent provision) would
govern for a five (5) year term, all in accordance with the requirements of this
Section 11.3. This Second Appraiser shall render its opinion of the fair market
value no later than thirty (30) days after the service of notice by Tenant
stated above. In the event that the higher of the two appraised fair market
values rendered herein is not more than ten percent (10%) greater than the lower
of the two appraised fair market rental values, then the mean between the two
appraised values shall be utilized to fix the appraised fair market value.
(b) In the event that the higher of the two appraised
fair market values is more than ten percent (10%) higher than the lower of the
two appraised fair market rental values, then the First Appraiser and the Second
Appraiser will meet within five (5) days after receipt and acceptance of the
Second Appraisal by Tenant, to attempt to agree upon the appraised fair market
value. If the First Appraiser and Second Appraiser do not agree upon the
appraised fair market value after such meeting, then they shall appoint a third
appraiser (the "Third Appraiser").
(c) If the First and Second Appraiser shall be unable to
agree upon the appointment of the Third Appraiser within five (5) days after the
time specified in subsection "(ii)" above, then the Third Appraiser shall be
selected by the Tenant and Landlord themselves. If Tenant and Landlord cannot
agree on the third appraiser, within a further period of five (5) days, then
either, on behalf of both, may apply to the person who is, at the time, the most
senior in service, active Judge of the United States District Court for the
District of where the Premises are located, for the selection of the Third
Appraiser. If that Judge cannot or will not make the appointment, then the
application will be made to the next most senior Judge, and so on down the line
of seniority. The fees and costs of the Second Appraiser and the Third Appraiser
will be borne by Tenant, and the cost of application to the Judge of the United
States District Court shall be borne by Tenant. In the event of the failure,
refusal or inability of any appraiser to act, a new appraiser shall be appointed
in this stead, which appointment shall be made in the same manner as provided
herein; e.g., if the Second Appraiser must be replaced, then Tenant will have
the right to designate its replacement. In the event that a Third Appraiser is
selected in the manner aforesaid, it shall perform an appraisal of the fair
market value of the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.3
within thirty (30) days after its appointment. In the event that the appraised
fair market rental value rendered by the Third Appraiser is higher than the
lower appraised fair market value, but lower than the higher appraised fair
market value, as rendered by the First Appraiser and the Second Appraiser, then
the appraised fair market value rendered by the Third Appraiser shall become the
appraised value. In the event that the appraised value rendered by the Third
Appraiser is lower than the lower appraised value or higher than the higher
appraised fair value, as rendered by the First Appraiser and Second Appraiser,
than an Appraisal Panel shall be convened.
122
The "Appraisal Panel," consisting of the First, Second and
Third Appraiser, shall convene within five (5) days after submission of a
written appraisal to Landlord and Tenant by the Third Appraiser (which Third
Appraisal does not resolve the appraised fair market value question in
accordance with this Section 11.3). The purpose of the formation of the
Appraisal Panel will be to attempt to reach a decision by two members of the
Appraisal Panel on the appraised fair market value. A decision joined in by any
two of the appraisers of the Appraisal Panel shall be the decision of the
Appraisal Panel, and shall be binding upon the parties hereto. If no two members
of the Appraisal Panel can concur in a decision of the appraised fair rental
value within ten (10) days after the submission of the appraisal by the Third
Appraiser to the parties, then the parties shall go to a neutral mediator for
mediation. If the parties are unable to agree upon a fair market value through
mediation, the matter will be submitted to binding arbitration under the
expedited rules of the American Arbitration Association.
11.4. NO MERGER. There shall be no merger of this Lease or the
leasehold estate hereby created with the fee estate in the Premises or any part
thereof by reason of the same person acquiring or holding, directly or
indirectly, this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby created or any interest in
this Lease or in such leasehold estate as well as the fee estate in the Premises
or any portion thereof.
11.5. SURRENDER. Upon the termination of this Lease, Tenant
shall peaceably surrender the Premises to Landlord in good and marketable
condition, fully operational as a standard, fully air-conditioned research and
development building. Tenant shall remove from the Premises prior to or within a
reasonable time after such termination (not to exceed thirty (30) days) all its
property that is capable of removal without causing damage to the Premises, and,
at Tenant's expense, shall at such times of removal, repair any damage caused by
such removal. Property not so removed shall become the property of Landlord.
Landlord may thereafter cause such property to be removed and disposition of and
the cost of repairing any damage caused by such removal shall be borne by
Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon
termination of this Lease pursuant to a default by Tenant, the heating,
ventilation and air conditioning systems shall remain on the Premises and shall
become the property of Landlord. Any holding over by Tenant of the Premises
after the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease or any
extensions thereof, with the consent of Landlord, shall operate and be construed
as a tenancy from month to month only, at one hundred twenty-five percent (125%)
of the Basic Rent reserved herein and upon the same terms and conditions as
contained in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any holding over without
Landlord's consent shall entitle Landlord, in addition to collecting Basic Rent
at a rate of one hundred twenty- five percent (125%) thereof, to exercise all
rights and remedies provided by law or in equity.
11.6. SEPARABILITY. Each and every covenant and agreement
contained in this Lease is separate and independent, and the breach of any
thereof by Landlord shall not discharge or relieve Tenant from any obligation
hereunder. If any term or provision of this Lease or the application thereof to
any person or circumstances or at any time to any extent be invalid and
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or
provision to persons or circumstances or at any time other than those to which
it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and
provision of this Lease shall be valid and shall be enforced to the extent
permitted by law.
123
11.7. MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ASSETS.
11.7.1 A merger or consolidation of Tenant with another
unaffiliated entity or the sale of substantially all of the assets of Tenant to
another entity shall be subject to the terms of this Section 11.7 and shall
require Landlord's reasonable consent. Tenant may, however, without Landlord's
consent, merge with or convey its assets to another entity with a credit rating
that is equal or better than Tenant's credit rating, as determined by the major
national credit rating agencies, including ▇▇▇▇ & Bradstreet, or engage in a
leveraged buyout or recapitalization; provided that, if the transaction results
in a downgrading of Tenant's credit rating, then Landlord's consent is required.
Any of the foregoing acts, if done without the consent of Landlord, if required,
shall be void and shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute an Event of
Default that entitles Landlord to terminate this Lease unless Tenant makes an
offer to purchase the Premises for an amount which is equal to the fair market
value of the Premises (including the value of the Lease) determined in the
manner set forth in Section 11.3, plus any prepayment costs of the Loan, which
such offer may be accepted or rejected by Landlord. If Landlord fails to accept
Tenant's purchase offer, it will be deemed to have consented to the merger,
consolidation or sale of assets.
11.7.2. In addition to foregoing, if Landlord consents
to a merger, consolidation or sale of assets as set forth in Section 11.7.1, or
if Tenant has become a subsidiary of a corporation whose senior unsecured and
unenhanced debt has an investment grade rating by Standard and Poors
Corporation, Tenant shall cause such assignee or parent corporation to deliver
to Landlord an unconditional guaranty of payment and performance (and not merely
collectability) of all of Tenant's obligations under the Lease, containing
customary waivers and in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
11.8. SAVINGS CLAUSE. No provision contained in this Lease
which purports to obligate Tenant to pay any amount of interest or any fees,
costs or expenses which are in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable
law, shall be effective to the extent that it calls for payment of any interest
or other sums in excess of such maximum.
11.9. BINDING EFFECT. All of the covenants, conditions and
obligations contained in this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the respective successors and assigns of Landlord and Tenant to the
same extent as if each successor and assign were in each case named.
11.10. TABLE OF CONTENTS AND HEADINGS. The table of contents
and headings used in this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall
not to any extent have the effect of modifying, amending or changing the
provisions of this Lease.
11.11. GOVERNING LAW. This Lease shall be governed by and

this Lease Landlord receives a bona fide third party offer to purchase the
Premises which it wishes to accept, Tenant shall the right to acquire ownership
of the Premises on the same terms and conditions set forth in the third party
offer. In the event Landlord receives and wishes to accept an offer for the
purchase of the Premises, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a notice (the "First
Refusal Notice") setting forth (i) the identity of the offeree, and (ii) each of
the material terms of the proposed transaction. Tenant shall have fifteen (15)
days after receipt of the First Refusal Notice from Landlord (the "Right of
First Refusal Period") to notify Landlord in writing of its intent to purchase
the Premises on the terms set forth in the First Refusal Notice. By notifying
Landlord within the Right of First Refusal Period, Tenant will be bound under
this Lease to purchase the Premises from Landlord, and Landlord will be bound
under this Lease to sell to Tenant, the Premises on such terms. If Tenant fails
to respond to during the Right of First Refusal Period, Tenant shall be deemed
to have elected not to purchase the Premises and Landlord shall have the right
to sell the Premises without further obligation to Tenant. If Landlord agrees to
sell the Premises to a prospective buyer for a price which is more than ten
percent (10%) lower than the price originally offered to Tenant in the First
Refusal Notice, then the Premises must be re-offered to Tenant at such lower
price (the "Re-offer Notice"). Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within
five (5) days of receipt of the Re-offer Notice whether it elects to purchase
the Premises. If Tenant is the purchaser under this Section 11.17, then such
purchase shall be on an "as is, where is" basis and Tenant shall release
Landlord from any and all claims arising from or related to the condition of the
Premises, including without limitation, claims arising under Environmental Laws
or Applicable Laws. This right of first refusal shall only apply to the first
sale of the Premises to occur after the Commencement Date and shall be
extinguished if Tenant fails to accept Landlord's offer to sell the Premises.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Lease as of
the day and year first above set forth.

C. Tenant has agreed to subordinate the Lease to the Security
Instrument and to the lien thereof and Lender has agreed to grant
non-disturbance to Tenant under the Lease on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth.
AGREEMENT:
For good and valuable consideration, Tenant and Lender agree as
follows:
1. SUBORDINATION. The Lease and all of the terms, covenants and
provisions thereof and all rights, remedies and options of Tenant thereunder are
and shall at all times continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to
the terms, covenants and provisions of the Security Instrument and to the lien
thereof, including without limitation, all renewals, increases, modifications,
spreaders, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and to all sums
secured thereby and advances made thereunder with the same force and effect as
if the Security Instrument had been executed, delivered and recorded prior to
the execution and delivery of the Lease.
2. NON-DISTURBANCE. If any action or proceeding is commenced by
Lender for the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or the sale of the
Property, Tenant shall not be named as a party therein unless such joinder shall
be required by law, provided, however, such joinder shall not result in the
termination of the Lease or disturb the Tenant's possession or use of the
premises demised thereunder, and the sale of the Property in any such action or
proceeding and the exercise by Lender of any of its other rights under the Note
or the Security Instrument shall be made subject to all rights of Tenant under
the Lease, provided that at the time of the commencement of any such action or
proceeding or at the time of any such sale or exercise of any such other rights
135
(a) the term of the Lease shall have commenced pursuant to the provisions
thereof, (b) Tenant shall be in possession of the premises demised under the
Lease, (c) the Lease shall be in full force and effect and (d) Tenant shall not
be in material default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the
Lease as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion or of this Agreement
on Tenant's part to be observed or performed.
3. ATTORNMENT. If Lender or any other subsequent purchaser of the
Property shall become the owner of the Property by reason of the foreclosure of
the Security Instrument or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of
foreclosure or by reason of any other enforcement of the Security Instrument
(Lender or such other purchaser being hereinafter referred as "Purchaser"), and
the conditions set forth in Section 2 above have been met at the time Purchaser
becomes owner of the Property, the Lease shall not be terminated or affected
thereby but shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between
Purchaser and Tenant upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth
in the Lease and in that event, Tenant agrees to attorn to Purchaser and
Purchaser by virtue of such acquisition of the Property shall be deemed to have
agreed to accept such attornment, provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be
(a) liable for the failure of any prior landlord (any such prior landlord,
including Landlord and any successor landlord, being hereinafter referred to as
a "Prior Landlord") to perform any of its obligations under the Lease which have
accrued prior to the date on which Purchaser shall become the owner of the
Property, provided that the foregoing shall not limit Purchaser's obligations
under the Lease to correct any conditions that (i) existed as of the date
Purchaser shall become the owner of the Property and (ii) violate Purchaser's
obligations as landlord under the Lease; provided further, however, that
Purchaser shall have received written notice of such omissions, conditions or
violations and has had a reasonable opportunity to cure the same, all pursuant
to the terms and conditions of the Lease, (b) subject to any offsets, defenses,
abatements or counterclaims which shall have accrued in favor of Tenant against
any Prior Landlord prior to the date upon which Purchaser shall become the owner
of the Property, (c) liable for the return of rental security deposits, if any,
paid by Tenant to any Prior Landlord in accordance with the Lease unless such
sums are actually received by Purchaser, (d) bound by any payment of rents,
additional rents or other sums which Tenant may have paid more than one (1)
month in advance to any Prior Landlord unless (i) such sums are actually
received by Purchaser or (ii) such prepayment shall have been expressly approved
of by Purchaser or (e) bound by any agreement terminating or amending or
modifying the rent, term, commencement date or other material term of the Lease,
or any voluntary surrender of the premises demised under the Lease, made without
Lender's or Purchaser's prior written consent prior to the time Purchaser
succeeded to Landlord's interest. In the event that any liability of Purchaser
does arise pursuant to this Agreement, such liability shall be limited and
restricted to Purchaser's interest in the Property and shall in no event exceed
such interest.
4. NOTICE TO TENANT. After notice is given to Tenant by Lender
that the Landlord is in default under the Note and the Security Instrument and
that the rentals under the Lease should be paid to Lender pursuant to the terms
of the assignment of leases and rents executed and delivered by Landlord to
Lender in connection therewith, Tenant shall thereafter pay to Lender or as
directed by the Lender, all rentals and all other monies due or to become due to
Landlord under the Lease and Landlord hereby expressly authorizes Tenant to make
such payments to Lender and hereby releases and discharges Tenant from any
liability to Landlord on account of any such payments.
136
5. NOTICE TO LENDER AND RIGHT TO CURE. Tenant shall notify Lender
of any default by Landlord under the Lease and agrees that, notwithstanding any
provisions of the Lease to the contrary, no notice of cancellation thereof or of
an abatement shall be effective unless Lender shall have received notice of
default giving rise to such cancellation or abatement and shall have failed
within forty five (45) days after receipt of such notice to cure such default,
or if such default cannot be cured within forty five (45) days, shall have
failed within forty five (45) days after receipt of such notice to commence and
thereafter diligently pursue any action necessary to cure such default.
