Exhibit B to First Amendment to Lease Agreement

Tenant Improvements

This exhibit, entitled “Tenant Improvements”, is and shall constitute Exhibit B to that certain First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated February 8, 2005 (the “Amendment”), by and between WILLOW PARK HOLDING COMPANY II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and Conor Medsystems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), for the leasing of certain premises located in Willow Park at Building E, 1005 Hamilton Avenue, Menlo Park, California (the “Expansion Premises”). The terms, conditions and provisions of this Exhibit B are hereby incorporated into and are made a part of the Amendment. Any capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms as set forth in the Amendment.

1.    Tenant Improvements. Subject to the conditions set forth below, Landlord agrees to construct and install certain improvements (the “EP Tenant Improvements”) in the Building of which the Premises are a part in accordance with the Final Drawings (defined below) and pursuant to the terms of this Exhibit B.

2.    Definition. “EP Tenant Improvements” as used in this Amendment shall include only those interior portions of the Building which are described below. The EP Tenant Improvements shall specifically not include any alterations, additions or improvements installed or constructed by Tenant, and any of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, furniture, furnishings, telephone equipment or other personal property (collectively, “Personal Property”). The EP Tenant Improvements shall include any and all interior improvements to be made to the Premises as specified in the Final Drawings (defined below), as specified and agreed to by Tenant and Landlord.

3.    Tenant’s Initial Plans; the Work. Tenant desires Landlord to perform certain EP Tenant Improvements in the Premises. The EP Tenant Improvements shall be in substantial accordance with the plan(s) and scope of work (collectively, the “Initial Plans”) which has been prepared by Legacy Partners, CDS after the parties meet and confer to agree upon a scope of work immediately after full execution of this Amendment. Within fifteen (15) business days from the date Landlord and Tenant meet to discuss the scope of work, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the Initial Plans. A copy of the Initial Plans shall be attached hereto as Schedule 1, as soon as practicable thereafter. Such work, as shown in the Initial Plans and as more fully detailed in the Approved Final Drawings (as defined and described in Section 4 below), shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Work”. Not later than five (5) days after the Initial Plans are prepared and delivered to Tenant, Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives shall furnish to Landlord such additional plans, drawings, specifications and finish details as Landlord may reasonably request to enable Landlord’s architects and engineers, as applicable, to prepare mechanical, electrical and plumbing plans and to prepare the Final Drawings, including, but not limited to, a final telephone layout and special electrical connections, if any. All plans, drawings, specifications and other details describing the Work which have been, or are hereafter, furnished by or on behalf of Tenant shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall not be deemed to have acted unreasonably if it withholds its approval of any plans, specifications, drawings or other details or of any Change Request (hereafter defined in Section 10 below) because, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the work as

 

7.


described in any such item or any Change Request, as the case may be: (a) is likely to adversely affect Building systems, the structure of the Building or the safety of the Building or its occupants; (b) might impair Landlord’s ability to furnish services to Tenant or other tenants in the Building; (c) would increase the cost of operating the Building or the Park; (d) would violate any applicable governmental, administrative body’s or agencies’ laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes or similar requirements (or interpretations thereof); (e) contains or uses Hazardous Materials; (f) would adversely affect the appearance of the Building or the Park; (g) might adversely affect another tenant’s premises or such other tenant’s use and enjoyment of such premises; (h) is prohibited by any ground lease affecting the Building, the Lot and/or the Park, any Recorded Matters or any mortgage, trust deed or other instrument encumbering the Building, the Lot and/or the Park; (i) is likely to be substantially delayed because of unavailability or shortage of labor or materials necessary to perform such work or the difficulties or unusual nature of such work; (j) is not, at a minimum, in accordance with Landlord’s Building Standards; (k) would increase the EP Tenant Improvement Costs (defined in Section 9 below) by more than ten percent (10%) from the cost originally estimated and anticipated by the parties; or (l) would delay completion of the Final Drawings, the Approved Final Drawings and/or the EP Tenant Improvements. The foregoing reasons, however, shall not be the only reasons for which Landlord may withhold its approval, whether or not such other reasons are similar or dissimilar to the foregoing. Neither the approval by Landlord of the Work, the Initial Plans or any other plans, specifications, drawings or other items associated with the Work or any Change Request nor Landlord’s performance, supervision or monitoring of the Work shall constitute any warranty or covenant by Landlord to Tenant of the adequacy of the design for Tenant’s intended use of the Premises. Tenant agrees to, and does hereby, assume full and complete responsibility to ensure that the Work and the Approved Final Drawings are adequate to fully meet the needs and requirements of Tenant’s use and intended operations of its business within the Premises.

4.    Final Drawings and Approved Final Drawings. If necessary for the performance of the Work, and to the extent not already included as part of the Initial Plans to be attached hereto, Landlord shall prepare or cause to be prepared final working drawings and specifications for the Work (the “Final Drawings”) based on and consistent with the Initial Plans and the other plans, specifications, drawings, finish details or other information furnished by Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives to Landlord and approved by Landlord pursuant to Section 3 above. Tenant shall cooperate diligently with Landlord and Landlord’s architect, engineer and other representatives and Tenant shall furnish within five (5) days after any request therefor, all information required by Landlord or Landlord’s architect, engineer or other representatives for completion of the Final Drawings. So long as the Final Drawings are substantially consistent with the Initial Plans, Tenant shall approve the Final Drawings within five (5) days after receipt of same from Landlord. Tenants failure to approve or disapprove such Final Drawings within the foregoing five (5) day time period, shall be conclusively deemed to be approval of same by Tenant. If Tenant reasonably disapproves of any matters included in the Final Drawings because such items are not substantially consistent with the Initial Plans, Tenant shall, within the aforementioned five (5) day period, deliver to Landlord written notice of its disapproval and Tenant shall specify in such written notice, in sufficient detail as Landlord may reasonably require, the matters disapproved, the reasons for such disapproval, and the specific changes or revisions necessary to be made to the Final Drawings to cause such drawings to substantially conform to the Initial Plans. Any additional costs associated with such requested changes or revisions shall be included as part of the EP Tenant Improvement Costs (defined below). The

 

8.


foregoing procedure shall be followed by the parties until the Final Drawings are acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall indicate their approval of the Final Drawings by initialing each sheet of the Final Drawings and delivering to one another a true and complete copy of such initialed Final Drawing (the “Approved Final Drawings”). A true and complete copy of the Approved Final Drawings shall be attached to the Amendment as Exhibit B-1 and shall be made a part hereof. Any changes or revisions to the Approved Final Drawings requested by Tenant must first be approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, subject to the provisions of Section 3 above. If Landlord approves such requested changes or revisions, Landlord shall cause the Approved Final Drawings to be revised accordingly and Landlord and Tenant shall initial each sheet of the Approval Final Drawings as revised and replace and attach a true and complete copy thereof to the Amendment as Exhibit B-1.

The EP Tenant Improvements shall be constructed by a general contractor selected by Landlord (the “General Contractor”). Landlord shall commence construction, or cause the commencement of construction by the General Contractor, of the EP Tenant Improvements, as soon as practicable after selection of the General Contractor. Except as hereinafter expressly provided to the contrary, Landlord shall cause the performance of the Work using (except as may be stated or otherwise shown in the Approved Final Drawings) building standard materials, quantities and procedures then in use by Landlord (“Building Standards”).

6.    Substantial Completion. Landlord and Tenant shall cause the General Contractor to Substantially Complete (defined below) the EP Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Approved Final Drawings, subject to delays due to (a) acts or events beyond Landlord’s control including, but not limited to, acts of God, earthquakes, strikes, lockouts, boycotts, casualties, discontinuance of any utility or other service required for performance of the Work, moratoriums, governmental agencies, delays on the part of governmental agencies, delays in obtaining permits or approvals from governmental agencies and inclement weather (including rain delays), (b) the lack of availability or shortage of specialized materials used in the construction of the EP Tenant improvements, (c) any matters beyond the control of Landlord, the General Contractor or any subcontractors, (d) any changes required by the fire department, building and/or planning department, building inspectors or any other agency having jurisdiction over the Building, the Work and/or the EP Tenant Improvements (except to the extent such changes are directly attributable to Tenant’s use or Tenant’s particular EP Tenant Improvements, in which event such delays are considered Tenant Delays) (the events and matters set forth in Subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) are collectively referred to as “Force Majeure Delays”), or (e) any Tenant Delays (defined in Section 7 below).
