(b) Purchaser shall defend, hold, harmless and indemnify each of the Seller Indemnitees from and against, and shall reimburse each of the Seller Indemnitees for, any Damages which are suffered or incurred by any of the Seller Indemnitees or to which any of the Seller Indemnitees may otherwise become subject at any time (regardless of whether of not such Damages relate to any third party claim) and which arise from or as a result of: (i) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser or Purchaser Personnel; (ii) any material Purchaser breach, violation, or non-performance of any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement; (iii) Purchasers or Purchaser Personnels violation of applicable law that in each case relate to the use or occupancy of the Covered Facilities to the extent not attributable to Seller; or (iv) Purchasers or Purchaser Personnels storage, use, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials on or about the Covered Facilities.
8.2 Obligations. Each party from which indemnification is sought (the Indemnitor) shall have control of the defense, litigation, and, subject to the conditions set forth below, settlement of any third party claims or suits that are subject to Section 8.1. The other indemnified party (Indemnitee) shall have the right (subject to the conditions set forth below), but not the obligation, to select counsel of its choice to participate in the defense of such third party claims or suits.

8.3 Cooperation. If any claim is made against either party within the scope of the indemnities set forth in Section 8.1, the Indemnitee shall: (a) provide prompt written notice of such third party claim to the Indemnitor; (b) provide the Indemnitee with such assistance as the Indemnitor may reasonably request in connection with the defense and settlement of such claim, provided that all costs and expenses incurred by either party shall borne by the Indemnitor; and

Failure by the Indemnitee to comply with the obligations under this Section 8.3 shall relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 only if and to the extent that the Indemnitor can show that its ability to defend the claim or settle the claim on favorable terms was materially prejudiced by the Indemnitees failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 8.3.

Master Landlord perform its obligations under the Master Lease and/or (b) assigning Sublandlords rights under the Master Lease to Subtenant to the extent necessary to permit Subtenant to institute legal proceedings against Master Landlord to obtain the performance of Master Landlords obligations under the Master Lease; provided, however, that if Subtenant commences a lawsuit or other action, Subtenant shall pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, and Subtenant shall indemnify Sublandlord against, and hold Sublandlord harmless from, all costs and expenses incurred by Sublandlord in connection therewith.

If such default shall not be cured within a reasonable time, but in no event later than [*] days after Sublandlords receipt of such written notice from Subtenant (except that if such default cannot be cured within said [*] day period, this period shall be extended for an additional reasonable time, provided that Sublandlord commences to cure such default within such [*] day period and proceeds diligently thereafter to effect such cure as quickly as possible), then Subtenant shall be entitled, at Subtenants option, to cure such default and promptly collect from Sublandlord Subtenants reasonable expenses in so doing (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and court costs) unless such default by Sublandlord is caused by a default of Subtenant hereunder (in which case Sublandlord shall not be liable for Subtenants costs to cure the default). Subtenant shall not be required to wait the entire cure period provided for herein if earlier action is required to prevent a termination by Master Landlord of the Master Lease and Sublandlord has failed to take such earlier action. Nothing contained herein shall entitle Subtenant to act on behalf of Sublandlord or in Sublandlords name.
15. Consent of Master Landlord. If Subtenant desires to take any action which requires the consent of Master Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease, including, without limitation, the making of any alterations, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary

16. No Third Party Rights. The benefit of the provisions of this Sublease is expressly limited to Sublandlord and Subtenant and their permitted successors and assigns. Under no circumstances will any third party be construed to have any rights as a third party beneficiary with respect to any of said provisions.
17. Master Landlord Consent to Sublease. This Sublease and Sublandlords and Subtenants obligations hereunder are conditioned upon having obtained the written consent of the Master Landlord to this Sublease.
18. Surrender. Subtenants obligation to surrender the Sublease Premises shall be fulfilled if Subtenant (i) surrenders possession of the Sublease Premises in the condition existing immediately prior to the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear, Hazardous Materials existing immediately prior to the Commencement Date, and interior improvements made by Subtenant which Sublandlord states in writing may be surrendered at the termination of the Sublease excepted; and (ii) completes all site closure activities relative to the Sublease Premises and receives all necessary governmental or regulatory approvals as may be required to decommission the Sublease Premises and obtain the site closure of all permits and licenses relating to Subtenants use of Hazardous Materials in the Sublease Premises.
19. Mutual Waiver of Subrogation. The waiver of subrogation provision set forth in Section 12.4 of the Master Lease shall be deemed a three party agreement binding among and inuring to the benefit of Sublandlord, Subtenant and Master Landlord (by reason of its consent to hereto).
20. Non-Disturbance. In the event that the Sublease terminates prior to the expiration of the term thereof for any reason other than as a result of an event of default by Subtenant under the Sublease, the Sublease shall continue in full force and effect, at Subtenants option, as a direct lease between the Master Landlord and Subtenant upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Sublease and Master Landlord shall recognize Subtenants right to possession of the Premises as provided for in the Sublease and shall not disturb Subtenants right to possession so long as an event of default does not exist in the performance of Subtenants obligations under the Sublease.

(c) If Landlord intends during the term of this Lease (including any duly elected extension terms) to lease all or any portion of the First Refusal Space, and if Tenant is not then in default (beyond any applicable cure periods) under this Lease, then Landlord shall give to Tenant written notice of such intention (the Offer Notice), specifying the material terms on which Landlord proposes to lease the First Refusal Space or applicable portion thereof (the Offered Space) and offering to Tenant the opportunity to lease the Offered Space on the terms specified in the Offer Notice. The time period within which Tenant is entitled to accept such offer by written notice to Landlord (the Offer Period), measured from the date of Tenants receipt of the Offer Notice, shall be ten (10) business days, except that if the Offered Space is all or substantially all of the 280 East Grand Building, then the Offer Period shall be thirty (301 days unless Tenant has previously received and failed to accept an Offer Notice with respect to such Offered Space in the 280 East Grand Building and Landlord is thereafter, within one hundred eighty (180) days after expiration of the Offer Period for such prior Offer Notice, coming back to Tenant with a further Offer Notice reflecting terms more favorable to the lessee than the terms offered in the prior Offer Notice, in which event the Offer Period for such further Offer Notice shall be ten (10) business days. Upon timely acceptance of an Offer Notice by Tenant, the Offered Space shall be leased to Tenant on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice and on the additional terms and provisions set forth herein (except to the extent inconsistent with the terms set forth in the Offer Notice) and the parties shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease adding the Offered Space to the Premises and making any appropriate amendments to provisions of this Lease

4.
[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
option with respect to the first such extended term shall be by written notice to Landlord at least nine (9) months and not more than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial term hereof; exercise of such option with respect to the second extended term, if the first extension option has been duly exercised, shall be by like written notice to Landlord at least nine (9) months and not more than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the first extended term hereof. If Tenant is in default hereunder, beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, on the date of such notice or on the date any extended team is to commence, then the exercise of the option shall be of no force or effect, the extended term shall not commence and this Lease shall expire at the end of the then current term hereof (or at such earlier time as Landlord may elect pursuant to the default provisions of this Lease).

3. RENTAL
3.1 Minimum Rental.
(a) Rental Amounts. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as minimum rental for the Premises, in advance, without deduction, offset, notice or demand, on or before the Commencement Date and on or before the first day of each subsequent calendar month of the initial term of this Lease, the following amounts per month:
Months | Monthly Minimum Rental | |||||||
[*] | [*] | [*] |
If the obligation to pay minimum rental hereunder commences on other than the first day of a calendar month or if the term of this Lease terminates on other than the last day of a calendar month, the minimum rental for such first or last month of the term of this Lease, as the case may be, shall be prorated based on the number of days the term of this Lease is in effect during such month. If an increase in minimum rental becomes effective on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the minimum rental for that month shall be the sum of the two applicable rates, each prorated for the portion of the month during which such rate is in effect.
(b) Rental Adjustment Due to Change in Square Footage. The minimum rental amounts specified in this Section 3.1 are based upon an agreed area of 136,242 square feet for the Premises as they exist on the Commencement Date. If the area of the Premises increases during the initial term of this Lease as a result of the construction of the new mezzanine area as contemplated in Section 2.3(b) and/or the construction of the new lobby area as contemplated in Section 2.3(c), then beginning on the date the applicable construction is substantially completed and the applicable new area becomes available for use or is actually used by Tenant in the ordinary course of its business, the minimum monthly rent for the remainder of the initial term of this Lease shall be increased, for each month, by an amount equal to the square footage of the newly constructed area (measured in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(iii) or 2.3(c)(iii), as applicable) multiplied by the applicable rental rate per square foot as set forth in Section 3.1(al above. In the event of any such increase in the area of the Premises during any extended term of this Lease, the minimum monthly rent during such extended term (as otherwise determined pursuant to Section 3.1(c) or 3.1(d), as applicable) shall be increased on a similar basis in strict proportion to the increase in the size of the Premises as a result of the newly constructed area being added to the Premises. Any rental increases due to a change in the square footage of the Premises as a result of Tenants exercise of a first refusal right under Section 1.3 hereof with respect to any of the First Refusal Space shall be determined and implemented in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.3 and the applicable Offer Notice thereunder.
(c) Rental Amounts During First Extended Term. If Tenant properly exercises its right to extend the term of this Lease pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof, the minimum rental during the first year of the first extended term shall be equal to the fair market rental value of the Premises (as defined below), including any cost-of-living adjustments or other rental increase provisions then customary in the City of South San Francisco for comparable commercial leases, determined as of the commencement of such extended term in accordance with this paragraph. Upon Landlords receipt of a proper notice of Tenants exercise of its option to extend the term of this Lease, the parties shall have sixty (60) days in which to agree on the initial fair market rental (including any applicable rental increase provisions) for the Premises at the commencement of the first extended term for the uses permitted hereunder. If the parties agree on
5.
[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
such initial fair market rental and rental increase provisions (if any), they shall execute an amendment to this Lease stating the amount of the applicable minimum monthly rental and any applicable rental increase provisions. If the parties are unable to agree on such rental (including any applicable rental increase provisions) within such sixty (60) day period, then within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of such period each party, at its cost and by giving notice to the other party, shall appoint a real estate appraiser with at least five (5) years experience appraising similar commercial properties in northeastern San Mateo County to appraise and set the initial fair market rental and any applicable rental increase provisions for the Premises at the commencement of the first extended term in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.1(c). If either party fails to appoint an appraiser within the allotted time, the single appraiser appointed by the other party shall be the sole appraiser. If an appraiser is appointed by each party and the two appraisers so appointed are unable to agree upon an initial fair market rental (and any appropriate rental increase provisions) within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second, the two appraisers shall appoint a third similarly qualified appraiser within ten (10) days after expiration of such 30-day period; if they are unable to agree upon a third appraiser, then either party may, upon not less than five (5) days notice to the other party, apply to the Presiding Judge of the San Mateo County Superior Court for the appointment of a third qualified appraiser. Each party shall bear its own legal fees in connection with appointment of the third appraiser and shall bear one-half of any other costs of appointment of the third appraiser and of such third appraisers fee. The third appraiser, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted for either party in any capacity. Within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third appraiser, a majority of the three appraisers shall set the initial fair market rental and any applicable rental increase provisions for the first extended term and shall so notify the parties. If a majority are unable to agree within the allotted time, then (i) the three appraised initial fair market rentals shall be added together and divided by three and the resulting quotient shall be the initial fair market rental for the first extended term, and (ii) the applicable rental increase provision shall be equal to the mathematical average (or the nearest reasonable approximation thereto) of the two rental increase provisions that are most closely comparable, which determinations shall be binding on the parties and shall be enforceable in any further proceedings relating to this Lease. For purposes of this Section 3.1(c), the fair market rental of the Premises shall be determined with reference to the then prevailing market rental rates for properties in the City of South San Francisco with shell and office, laboratory and research and development improvements and site (common area) improvements comparable to those then existing in the Premises and in the Center, taking into account for such determination all tenant improvements then existing in the Premises (including, but not limited to, all fixtures, equipment and laboratory improvements in place in the Premises on the Commencement Date) other than alterations, improvements or equipment which were constructed or installed by Tenant at its sole expense and which Tenant has a right or obligation to remove from the Premises at the expiration of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 hereof.
(d) Rental Amounts During Second Extended Term. If Tenant properly exercises its right to a second extended term of this Lease pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof, the minimum rental and any applicable rental increase provisions during such second extended term shall be determined in the same manner provided in the preceding paragraph for the first extended term, except that the determination shall be made as of the commencement of the second extended term.
3.2 Late Charge. If Tenant fails to pay rental or other amounts due Landlord hereunder on or before the fifth (5th) day after such rental or other amount is due, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest for the benefit of Landlord at a rate equal to the lesser of [*] per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, from the date due to the date of payment. In addition to such interest, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to [*] of any installment of minimum rental and any other amounts due Landlord if not paid in full on or before the fifth (5th) day after such rental or other amount is due, Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rental or other amounts due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, including, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any loan relating to the Center or any portion thereof. Tenant further acknowledges that it is extremely difficult and impractical to fix the exact amount of such costs and that the late charge set forth in this Section 3.2 represents a fair and reasonable estimate thereof. Acceptance of any late charge by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenants default with respect to overdue rental or other amounts, nor shall such acceptance prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies available to it. Acceptance of rent or other payments by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of late charges or interest accrued with respect to such rent or other payments or any prior installments thereof, nor of any other defaults by Tenant, whether monetary or non-monetary in nature, remaining uncured at the time of such acceptance of rent or other payments.

6.1 Personal Property. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes and assessments levied against or by reason of (a) any and all alterations, additions and items installed or placed on or in the Premises and taxed as personal property rather than as real property, and/or (b) all personal property, trade fixtures and other property placed by Tenant on or about the Premises. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence of Tenants payment thereof. If at any time during the term of this Lease any of said alterations, additions or personal property, whether or not belonging to Tenant, shall be taxed or assessed as pan of the Center, then such tax or assessment shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after presentation by Landlord of copies of the tax bills in which such taxes and assessments are included and shall, for the purposes of this Lease, be deemed to be personal property taxes or assessments under this Section 6.1.
6.2 Real Property. To the extent any real property taxes and assessments on any portions of the Center (including, but not limited to, the Improvements or any portion thereof) leased or occupied solely by Tenant are assessed directly to Tenant, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay prior to delinquency all such taxes and assessments levied against the applicable portions of the Center. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence of Tenants payment thereof. To the extent the Center and/or Improvements are taxed or assessed to Landlord following the Commencement Date, such real property taxes and assessments shall constitute Operating Expenses (as that term is defined in Section 7.2 of this Lease) and shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 of this Lease
7. OPERATING EXPENSES
7.1 Payment of Operating Expenses.
(a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at the time and in the manner hereinafter set forth, as additional rental, an amount equal to [*] (Tenants Operating Cost Share) of the Operating Expenses defined in Section 7.2, provided however, that the Tenants Operating Cost Share set forth in the preceding portion of this sentence shall apply only to expenses that are determined and allocated by Landlord on a Center-wide basis, subject to any adjustments required under any other applicable provisions of this Section 7.1, and that Tenants Operating Cost Share shall be [*] with respect to any Operating Expenses defined in Section 7.2 that are reasonably allocable solely to the Phase I Property.

(b) Tenants Operating Cost Share as specified in paragraph (a) of this Section with respect to Operating Expenses which are determined and allocated on a Center-wide basis is based upon an area of 136,242 square feet for the Premises and upon an aggregate area of 562,859 square feet for the existing buildings owned by Landlord in the Center as depicted in the Site Plan. Tenants Operating Cost Share as specified in paragraph (a) of this Section with respect to Operating Expenses which are determined and allocated solely to the Phase I Property is based upon an area of 136,242 square feet for the Premises and upon an aggregate area of 177,938 square feet for the existing buildings on the Phase I Property, if the actual area of the buildings on the Phase I Property from time to time or of the buildings owned from time to time by Landlord in the Center and consolidated with the buildings in which the Premises are located for operation, maintenance, common area and Operating Expense purposes, as applicable, as such area is determined in good faith by Landlords architect on the same basis of measurement under which the Premises have been determined to contain 136.242 square feet (from the exterior faces of exterior walls and from the dripline of any overhangs, except that in the case of any two-story recesses or overhangs, the area to the dripline of the overhang is counted as part of the area of the first story but not as part of the area of the second story), differs from the assumed figures set forth above (including, but not limited to, any such difference arising from the construction of additional buildings in the Center as contemplated in Section 7.1(c) hereof), or if the area of the Premises changes from time to time pursuant to the construction of additional areas of the Premises pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and/or 2.3(c) and/or pursuant to Tenants exercise of a first refusal right pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof, then Tenants Operating Cost Share as it applies to Operating Expenses that are determined and allocated on a Center-wide basis or that are determined and allocated solely with respect to the Phase I Property, as applicable, shall be adjusted to reflect the actual areas so determined as they exist from time to time; provided, however, that in the event Tenant exercises a first refusal right with respect to the 280 East Grand Building. Landlord hereby advises Tenant that it is presently Landlords practice to account for all Operating Expenses attributable or allocable to the

separate legal parcel on which the 280 East Grand Building is located on a stand-alone basis and to allocate such Operating Expenses one hundred percent (100%) to the tenant(s) of the 280 Fast Grand Building.
(c) If Landlord at any time constructs additional buildings in the Center or on any adjacent property owned by Landlord and operated, for common area purposes, on an integrated basis with the Center, then Tenants Operating Cost Share as it applies to Operating Expenses that are determined and allocated on a Center-wide basis shall be adjusted to be equal to the percentage determined by dividing the gross square footage of the Premises as they exist from time to time by the gross square footage of all buildings located in the Center or on any applicable adjacent property owned by Landlord as described above. In determining such percentage, a building shall be taken into account from and after the date on which a tenant first enters into possession of the building or a portion thereof, and the good faith determination of the gross square footage of any such building by Landlords architects shall be final and binding upon the parties.
7.2 Definition Of Operating Expenses.

If the Commencement Date falls on a day other than the first day of a Lease Year or if this Lease terminates on a day other than the last day of a Lease Year, then the amount of Operating Expenses payable by Tenant with respect to such first or last partial Lease Year shall be prorated on the basis which the number of days during such Lease Year in which this Lease is in effect bears to 365. The termination of this Lease shall not affect the obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Section 7.4 to be performed after such termination.

Such insurance shall include earthquake and environmental coverage and shall have such commercially reasonable deductibles and other terms as Landlord in its reasonable discretion determines to be appropriate. Landlord shall have no obligation to carry property damage -insurance for Tenants Property, for Tenants personal property or, except as expressly set forth in paragraph (d) below, for any alterations, additions or improvements installed by Tenant or by any predecessor tenant in the buildings in which the Premises are located or on or about the Center.

Tenant shall provide to Landlord from time to time, upon request by Landlord annually or at other reasonable intervals, an updated schedule of values for such existing tenant improvements, and Landlord shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any underinsurance of tenant improvements that results from Tenants failure to keep Landlord informed from time to time, on a current basis, of the insurable value of such tenant improvements.

19.
[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
policies shall include the clause or endorsement referred to in Section 12.4. If Tenant fails to acquire, maintain or renew any insurance required to be maintained by it under this Article 12 or to pay the premium therefor, then Landlord, at us option and in addition to its other remedies, but without obligation so to do, may procure such insurance, and any sums expended by it to procure any such insurance on behalf of or in place of Tenant shall be repaid upon demand, with interest as provided in Section 3.2 hereof. Tenant shall obtain written undertakings from each insurer under policies required to be maintained by it to notify all insureds thereunder at least thirty (30) days prior to cancellation of coverage.

Landlord and Tenant each waive any right to recover against the other with respect to (i) damage to property, (ii) damage to the Premises or the Center or any part thereof, or (iii) claims arising by reason of any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing damages and claims under clauses (i)-(iii) hereof are covered, and only to the extent of such coverage, by casualty insurance actually carried or required to be carried hereunder by either Landlord or Tenant. This provision is intended to waive fully, and for the benefit of each party, any rights and claims which might give rise to a right of subrogation in any insurance carrier. Each party shall procure a clause or endorsement on any casualty insurance policy denying to the insurer rights of subrogation against the other party to the extent rights have been waived by the insured prior to the occurrence of injury or loss. Coverage provided by insurance maintained by Tenant shall not be limited, reduced or diminished by virtue of the subrogation waiver herein contained.
12.5 Increase in Premiums. Tenant shall do all acts and pay all expenses necessary to insure that the Premises are not used for purposes prohibited by any applicable fire insurance, and that Tenants use of the Premises and the Center complies with all requirements necessary to obtain any such insurance. If Tenant uses or permits the Premises to be used in a manner which increases the existing rate of any insurance carried by Landlord on the Center and such use continues for longer than a reasonable period specified in any written notice from Landlord to Tenant identifying the rate increase and the factors causing the same, then Tenant shall pay the amount of the increase in premium caused thereby, and Landlords costs of obtaining other replacement insurance policies, including any increase in premium, within ten (10) days after demand therefor by Landlord.
12.6 Indemnification.
(a) Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and its partners, shareholders, officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from any and all liability for injury to or death of any person, or loss of or damage to the property of any person, and all actions, claims, demands, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees), damages or expenses of any kind arising therefrom which may be brought or made against Landlord or which Landlord may pay or incur by reason of the use, occupancy and enjoyment of the Premises and the Center by Tenant or any invitees, sublessees, licensees, assignees, employees, agents or contractors of Tenant or holding under Tenant from any cause whatsoever other than negligence or willful misconduct or omission by Landlord, its agents or employees. Landlord and its partners, shareholders, officers, directors, agents and employees shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against such persons for, damages to goods, wares and merchandise in or upon the Premises or the Center, or for injuries to Tenant, its agents or third persons in or upon the Premises or the Center, from any cause whatsoever other than negligence or willful misconduct or omission by Landlord, its agents or employees. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of any casualty or accident in, on or about the Premises or the Center.
(b) Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant and its partners, shareholders, officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from any and all liability for injury to or death of any person, or loss of or damage to the property of any person, and all actions, claims, demands, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees), damages or expenses of any kind arising therefrom which may be brought or made against Tenant or which Tenant may pay or incur, to the extent such liabilities or other matters arise in, on or about the Premises or the Center by reason of any negligence or willful misconduct or omission by Landlord, its agents or employees.

13. SUBLEASE AND ASSIGNMENT
13.1 Assignment of Lease and Sublease of Premises. Except in the case of a Permitted Transfer, Tenant shall not have the right or power to assign its interest in this Lease, or make any sublease of the Premises or any portion thereof, nor shall any interest of Tenant under this Lease be assignable involuntarily or by operation of law, without on each occasion obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any purported sublease or assignment of Tenants interest in this Lease requiring but not having received Landlords consent thereto (to the extent such consent is required hereunder) shall be void. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord may withhold consent to any proposed subletting or assignment for which consent is requested solely on the ground, if applicable, that the use by the proposed subtenant or assignee is reasonably likely to be incompatible with Landlords use of any adjacent property owned or operated by Landlord, unless the proposed use is within the permitted uses specified in Section 11.1, in which event it shall not be reasonable for Landlord to object to the proposed use. Except in the case of a Permitted Transfer, any dissolution, consolidation, merger or other reorganization of Tenant, or any sale or transfer of substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant in a single transaction or series of related transactions, shall be deemed to be an assignment hereunder and shall be void without the prior written consent of Landlord as required above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any public offering of the common stock of Tenant shall not be deemed to be an assignment hereunder; (ii) any transfer of Tenants stock during any period in which Tenant has a class of stock listed on any recognized securities exchange or traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market shall not be deemed to be an assignment hereunder; (iii) any transfer of Tenants stock in connection with a bona fide financing, capitalization or recapitalization of Tenant shall not be deemed to be an assignment hereunder, provided that such financing, capitalization or recapitalization does not result in a material reduction in Tenants net worth or materially change the nature of Tenants ongoing business as a going concern; and (iv) Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, without Landlords consent (but with prior or concurrent written notice by Tenant to Landlord, except to the extent Tenant is advised by its counsel that such prior or concurrent notice would be in violation of applicable law, in which event Tenant shall give such written notice as soon as reasonably possible after the giving of such notice is no longer in violation of applicable law), to any Affiliate of Tenant, or to any entity which results from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any entity which acquires substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant as a going concern (hereinafter each a Permitted Transfer). For purposes of the preceding sentence, an Affiliate of Tenant shall mean any entity in which Tenant owns at least a fifty percent (50%) equity interest, any entity which owns at least a fifty percent (50%) equity interest in Tenant, and/or any entity which is related to Tenant by a chain of ownership interests involving at least a fifty percent (50%) equity interest at each level in the chain. Landlord shall have no right to terminate this Lease in connection with, and shall have no right to any sums or other economic consideration resulting from, any Permitted Transfer. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 13.1, however, the provisions of Section 13.2 shall remain applicable to any Permitted Transfer and the transferee under such Permitted Transfer shall be and remain subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease.
13.2 Rights Of Landlord.
(a) Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of this Lease, or to one or more sublettings of the Premises or any portion thereof, or collection of rent by Landlord from any assignee or sublessee, shall not operate to exhaust Landlords rights under this Article 13, nor constitute consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. No assignment of Tenants interest in this Lease and no sublease shall relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder, notwithstanding any waiver or extension of time granted by Landlord to any assignee or sublessee, or the failure of Landlord to assert its rights against any assignee or sublessee, and regardless of whether Landlords consent thereto is given or required to be given hereunder. In the event of a default by any assignee, sublessee or other successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms or obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against any such assignee, sublessee or other successor. In addition, Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenants obligations under this Lease, all rent from any subletting of all or a part of the Premises as permitted under this Lease, and Landlord, as Tenants assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or any receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlords application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenants obligations under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence of an act of default by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent and to retain all sublease profits (subject to the provisions of Section 13.2(c), below).
(b) Upon any assignment of Tenants interest in, this Lease for which Landlords consent is required under Section 13.1 hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof by Tenant from time to time, one-half (1/2) of all cash sums and other economic considerations received by Tenant in connection with or as a result of such assignment, after first deducting therefrom (i) any costs incurred by Tenant for leasehold improvements
21.

(including, but not limited to, third-party architectural and space planning costs) in the Premises in connection with such assignment, (ii) any real estate commissions and/or reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment, and (iii) any economic consideration received by Tenant as bona fide, reasonable compensation for personal property sold or leased by Tenant to the assignee.
(c) Upon any sublease of all or any portion of the Premises for which Landlords consent is required under Section 13.1 hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof by Tenant from time to time, one-half (1/2) of all cash sums and other economic considerations received by Tenant in connection with or as a result of such sublease, after first deducting therefrom (i) the rental due hereunder for the corresponding period, prorated (on the basis of the per-square-foot cost paid by Tenant for the entire Premises for the applicable period under this Lease) to reflect the size of the subleased portion of the Premises, (ii) any costs incurred by Tenant for leasehold improvements in the subleased portion of the Premises (including, but not limited to, third-party architectural and space planning costs) for the specific benefit of the sublessee in connection with such sublease, amortized over the term of the sublease, (iii) any real estate commissions and/or reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Tenant in connection with such sublease, amortized over the term of such sublease, and (iv) any economic consideration received by Tenant as bona fide, reasonable compensation for personal property sold or leased by Tenant to the sublessee.
14. RIGHT OF ENTRY AND QUIET ENJOYMENT
14.1 Right Of Entry. Landlord and its authorized representatives shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time during the term of this Lease during normal business hours and upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior notice, except in the case of emergency (in which event no notice shall be required and entry may be made at any time), for the purpose of inspecting and determining the condition of the Premises or for any other proper purpose including, without limitation, to make repairs, replacements or improvements which Landlord may deem necessary, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, to show the Premises to prospective tenants (but only during the final year of the term of this Lease), and to post notices of nonresponsibility. Landlord shall not be liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business, quiet enjoyment or other damage or loss to Tenant by reason of making any repairs or performing any work upon the Premises or the Center or by reason of erecting or maintaining any protective barricades in connection with any such work, and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not thereby be affected in any manner whatsoever, provided, however, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the inconvenience to Tenants normal business operations caused thereby.
14.2 Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants that Tenant, upon paying the rent and performing its obligations hereunder and subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease, shall peacefully and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises and the Common Areas of the Center throughout the term of this Lease, or until this Lease is terminated as provided by this Lease.
15. CASUALTY AND TAKING
15.1 Damage or Destruction.
(a) If the Premises, or the Common Areas of the Center necessary for Tenants use and occupancy of the Premises, are damaged or destroyed in whole or in part under circumstances in which (i) repair and restoration is permitted under applicable governmental laws, regulations and building codes then in effect and (ii) repair and restoration reasonably can be completed within a period of one (1) year (or, in the case of an occurrence during the last year of the term of this Lease, within a period of sixty (60) days) following the date of the occurrence, then Landlord, as to the Common Areas of the Center and the cold shell of the buildings in which the Premises are located, and Tenant, as to all other improvements existing in or about the Premises immediately prior to such occurrence, shall commence and complete, with all due diligence and as promptly as is reasonably practicable under the conditions then existing, all such repair and restoration as may be required to return the affected portions of the Premises and the Center to a condition comparable to that existing immediately prior to the occurrence. In the event of damage or destruction the repair of which is not permitted under applicable governmental laws, regulations and building codes then in effect, if such damage or destruction (despite being corrected to the extent then permitted under applicable governmental laws, regulations and building codes) would still materially impair Tenants ability to conduct its business in the Premises, then either party may terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence by giving written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence; if neither party timely elects such termination, or if such damage or destruction does not materially impair Tenants ability to conduct its business in the Premises, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect,
22.
[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
except that there shall be an equitable adjustment in monthly minimum rental and of Tenants Operating Cost Share of Operating Expenses, based upon the extent to which Tenants ability to conduct its business in the Premises is impaired, and Landlord and Tenant respectively shall restore the Common Areas and the cold shell of the applicable buildings and the other improvements in and about such buildings to a complete architectural whole and to a functional condition. In the event of damage or destruction which cannot reasonably be repaired within one (1) year (or, in the case of an occurrence during the last year of the term of this Lease, within a period of sixty (60) days) following the date of the occurrence, then either Landlord or Tenant, at its election, may terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence by giving written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence; if neither party timely elects such termination, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Landlord and Tenant shall each repair and restore applicable portions of the Premises and the Center in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 15.1.
(b) The respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Section 15.1(a) are subject to the following limitations:
(i) If the occurrence results from a peril which is required to be insured pursuant to Sections 12.1(c), (d) and (e) above, then Landlord and Tenant shall use their respective best efforts and cooperate diligently, reasonably and in good faith to recover any available proceeds from the respective insurance which they are required to maintain pursuant to Sections 12.1(c), (d) and/or (e), as applicable, and to divide or allocate such proceeds between themselves in accordance with their respective rebuilding obligations under Section 15.1(a), and the obligations of each party shall not exceed its respective share of the amount of insurance proceeds received from insurers (or, in the case of any failure to maintain required insurance, proceeds that reasonably would have been available if the required insurance had been maintained) by reason of such occurrence, plus the amount of any deductible under the applicable insurance, and, if such proceeds (including, in the case of a failure to maintain required insurance, any proceeds that reasonably would have been available) are insufficient, either party may terminate the Lease unless the other party promptly elects and agrees, in writing, to contribute the amount of the shortfall; and
(ii) if the occurrence results from a peril which is not required to be insured pursuant to Sections 12.1(c), (d) and (e) above and is not actually insured, Landlord shall be required to repair and restore the cold shells of the applicable buildings and the Common Areas to the extent necessary for Tenants continued use and occupancy of the Premises, and Tenant shall be required to repair and restore the other improvements in and about the Premises to the extent necessary for Tenants continued use and occupancy of the Premises marked that each partys obligation to repair and restore shall not exceed an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the replacement cost of the cold shells of the applicable buildings and the Common Area improvements, as to Landlord, or five percent (5%) of the replacement cost of the other improvements in and about the Premises, as to Tenant; if the replacement cost as to either party exceeds such amount, then the party whose limit has been exceeded may terminate this Lease unless the other party promptly elects and agrees, in writing, to contribute the amount of the shortfall.
(c) If this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 15.1 following an occurrence which is a peril actually insured or required to be insured against pursuant to Sections 12.1(c), (d) and (e), Landlord and Tenant agree (and any Lender shall he asked to agree) that such insurance proceeds shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant in a manner which fairly and reasonably reflects their respective ownership rights under this Lease, as of the termination or expiration of the term of this Lease, with respect to the improvements, fixtures, equipment and other items to which such insurance proceeds are attributable.
(d) From and after the date of an occurrence resulting in damage to or destruction of the Premises or of the Common Areas necessary for Tenants use and occupancy of the Premises, and continuing until repair and restoration thereof are completed, there shall be an equitable abatement of minimum rental and of Tenants Operating Cost Share of Operating Expenses based upon the degree to which Tenants ability to conduct its business in the Premises is impaired.
15.2 Condemnation.
(a) If during the term of this Lease the Premises or the Common Areas of the Center, or any substantial part of either, is taken by eminent domain or by reason of any public improvement or condemnation proceeding, or in any manner by exercise of the right of eminent domain (including any transfer in avoidance of an exercise of the power of eminent domain), or receives irreparable damage by reason of anything lawfully done under color of public or other authority, then (i) this Lease shall terminate as to the entire Premises at Landlords election by written

notice given to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the taking has occurred, and (ii) this Lease shall terminate as to the entire Premises at Tenants election, by written notice given to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the nature and extent of the taking have been finally determined, if the portion of the Premises taken is of such extent and nature as substantially to handicap, impede or permanently impair Tenants use of the balance of the Premises. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall also notify Landlord of the date of termination, which dale shall not be earlier than thirty (30) days nor later than ninety (90) days after Tenant has notified Landlord of Tenants election to terminate, except that this Lease shall terminate on the date of taking if such date falls on any date before the date of termination designated by Tenant. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease as hereinabove provided, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect (except that there shall be an equitable abatement of minimum rental and of Tenants Operating Cost Share of Operating Expenses based upon the degree to which Tenants ability to conduct its business in the Premises is impaired). Landlord shall restore the shell of the buildings in which the Premises are located and Common Area improvements to a complete architectural whole and a functional condition and as nearly as reasonably possible to the condition existing before the taking, and Tenant shall restore the other improvements in the Premises and Tenants other alterations, additions and improvements to a complete architectural whole and a functional condition and as nearly as reasonably possible to the condition existing before the taking. In connection with any such restoration, each party shall use its respective best efforts (including, without limitation, any necessary negotiation or intercession with its respective lender, if any) to ensure that any severance damages or other condemnation awards intended to provide compensation for rebuilding or restoration costs are promptly collected and made available to Landlord and Tenant in portions reasonably corresponding to the cost and scope of their respective restoration obligations, subject only to such payment controls as either party or its lender may reasonably require in order to ensure the proper application of such proceeds toward the restoration of the Improvements. Each party waives the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130, allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial condemnation of the Premises or the Center.

The worth at the time of award of the amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be computed by allowing interest at ten percent (10%) per annum from the date such amounts accrued to Landlord.

deemed to be material), Tenants rights hereunder shall not be disturbed by such person or entity and (ii) agreeing that the benefit of such Non-Disturbance Agreement shall be transferable to any transferee under a Permitted Transfer and to any other assignee or subtenant that is acceptable to the ground lessor, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or leaseback lessor at the time of transfer. Moreover, Tenants obligations under this Lease shall be conditioned on Tenants receipt, within sixty (60) days after the date hereof (provided that Landlord shall have the right to extend such period for up to an additional thirty (30) days in order to continue pursuing receipt of the agreement required hereunder if not received within such initial 60-day period), from The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, the beneficiary under an existing deed of trust on the Phase I Property, of a Non-Disturbance Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant acknowledging and approving this Lease and confirming (i) that so long as Tenant is not in material default hereunder beyond any applicable cure period (for which purpose the occurrence of any event of default under Section 16.1 hereof shall be deemed to be material), Tenants rights hereunder shall not be disturbed by such person or entity and (ii) agreeing that the benefit of such Non-Disturbance Agreement shall be transferable to any transferee under a Permitted Transfer and to any other assignee or subtenant that is acceptable to the ground lessor, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or leaseback lessor at the time of transfer. If any mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground lessor, sale/leaseback lessor or assignee elects to have this Lease be an encumbrance prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease or leaseback lease or other security arrangement upon any portion(s) of the Center on which the Premises are located and gives notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior thereto, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date thereof or the date of recording thereof. Tenant, and any sublessee, shall execute such documents as may reasonably be requested by any mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground lessor, sale/leaseback lessor or assignee to evidence the subordination herein set forth, subject to the conditions set forth above, or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, leaseback lease or other security arrangement, as the case may be. Upon any default by Landlord in the performance of its obligations under any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, leaseback lease or assignment, Tenant (and any sublessee) shall, notwithstanding any subordination hereunder, attorn to the mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground lessor, leaseback lessor or assignee thereunder upon demand and become the tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord, at the option of such successor in interest, and shall execute and deliver any instrument or instruments confirming the attornment herein provided for.

Tenant or Landlord (the responding party), as applicable, shall at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) days after written request by the other party (the requesting party), execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a certificate in writing stating: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there have been any modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the date and the nature of each modification; (ii) the date to which rental and all other sums payable hereunder have been paid; (iii) that the requesting party is not in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, that the certifying party has given no notice of default to the requesting party and that no event has occurred which, but for the expiration of the applicable time period, would constitute an event of default hereunder, or if the responding party alleges that any such default, notice or event has occurred, specifying the same in reasonable detail; and (iv) such other matters as may reasonably be requested by the requesting party or by any institutional lender, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground lessor, sale/leaseback lessor or prospective purchaser of any portion(s) of the Center on which the Premises are located, or any prospective sublessee or assignee of this Lease. Any such certificate provided wider this Section 17.3 may be relied upon by any lender, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, assignee or successor in interest to the requesting party, by any prospective purchaser, by any purchaser on foreclosure or sale, by any grantee under a deed in lieu of foreclosure of any mortgage or deed of trust on the Center (or any portion thereof), by any subtenant or assignee, or by any other third party. Failure to execute and return within the required time any estoppel certificate requested hereunder, if such failure continues for five (5) days after a second written request by the requesting party for such estoppel certificate, shall be deemed to be an admission of the truth of the matters set forth in the form of certificate submitted to the responding party for execution.
17.4 Subordination to CC&Rs. This Lease, and any permitted sublease entered into by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease, and the interests in real property conveyed hereby and thereby shall be subject and subordinate to any declarations of covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Center (or any portion thereof) from time to time, provided that the terms of such declarations are reasonable, do not materially impair Tenants ability to conduct the uses permitted hereunder on the Premises and in the Center, and do not discriminate against Tenant relative to other similarly situated tenants occupying the portion(s) of the Center covered by such declaration(s).

As such, the Company acknowledges that GCHI could be considered to have interests adverse to the Company. The applicable rules of professional conduct require that before GCHI can participate in the Financing and purchase Shares from the Company (i) the terms of the transaction are fully and fairly disclosed, (ii) the Company is given the right to seek advice of an independent attorney, and (iii) the Company consents to the terms of the transaction.

The Company acknowledges (i) disclosure to it of the transaction with GCHI and (ii) that it has had a reasonable opportunity to consult independent counsel prior to the participation by GCHI in the Financing. The Company hereby agrees that (i) Cooley Godward may act as the Companys counsel in connection with the Financing, (ii) GCHI may participate in the Financing, and (iii) Cooley Godward may continue to act as general counsel for the Company and to GCHI in other matters.
