Maximizing the growth potential of our marketed drugs, Zevalin and Fusilev. Our near-term outlook largely depends on sales and marketing successes for our two marketed drugs. For Zevalin, our initial goal was to stabilize sales, which we believe we accomplished in 2009. With the approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a significantly larger indication in non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) in late 2009 and our success in addressing historical hurdles associated with the uptake of this drug, we believe we can grow sales in 2010 and beyond. For Fusilev, which we launched in August 2008, we were able to benefit from broad utilization in community clinics and hospitals through mid-2009. Our focus now is to obtain approval for Fusilev in advanced metastatic colorectal cancer, which could potentially increase the patient pool substantially. As part of its review of our supplemental new drug application (sNDA) the FDA has requested additional data which we expect to submit in the third quarter of 2010

     D. Letter of Credit/Enhanced Financial Condition.
     (i) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements as described in Exhibit X attached hereto, an irrevocable stand-by letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the amount of the estimated amount of the “Landlord’s Amortizing Contribution” to be expended towards the “Completion Cost” of the Tenant Improvements (as those terms are defined in the Work Letter attached as Exhibit X). Said Letter of Credit shall be in substantially the form and substance of Exhibit I attached hereto (or in other form and substance acceptable to Landlord), and issued by a financial institution which is acceptable to Landlord. Upon the default by Tenant under any of its monetary obligations under the Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon said Letter of Credit by the issuance of Landlord’s sole written demand to the issuing financial institution, which draw shall be in an amount necessary to cure the monetary default in question and to compensate Landlord for all damages incurred thereby, as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion.

Any such draw shall be without waiver or any rights Landlord may have under this Lease or at law or in equity as a result of the monetary default, as a setoff for full or partial compensation for the monetary default. If any portion of the Letter of Credit is drawn after a monetary default by Tenant, Tenant shall within ten (10) business days after written demand by Landlord restore the Letter of Credit. Failure to so restore said Letter of Credit within said ten (10) business days shall be a default by Tenant under this Lease. Partial drawings upon said Letter of Credit shall be permitted. Except as otherwise provided herein (including, without limitation, in Section D(iii) below), the Letter of Credit shall provide for automatic annual renewals through that date which is thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date of the Term of this Lease (including any extensions of the Term as provided in this Lease). In the event the Letter of Credit is not renewed by the issuing financial institution on or before thirty (30) days prior to the then-scheduled expiration date of the Letter of Credit, then Landlord shall have the right to draw the full amount of such Letter of Credit and to hold such amount as cash security pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Lease. In the event Tenant restores the entire Letter of Credit, then Landlord shall promptly refund the amount(s) drawn down pursuant to the preceding sentence to Tenant. With Landlord’s prior written approval and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section D.(i), Tenant shall have the opportunity to provide a substituted letter of credit.

3


 

     (ii) Landlord’s obligation to proceed with any portion of the Tenant Improvements to be funded by the Landlord’s Amortizing Contribution is subject to and conditioned upon Tenant’s obligation to provide the Letter of Credit to Landlord prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

Such exterior signage shall be exclusive to Tenant provided Tenant continues to lease 100% of the rentable square footage of the Building. Except for the exterior signage rights provided in the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to maintain signs in any location in, on or about the Building or the Project and shall not place or erect any signs, displays or other advertising materials that are visible from the exterior of the Building (provided that any signs wholly within the Premises which are not intended to be visible from the exterior of the Building shall not be a violation of the foregoing provisions).”

Section 9.4 of the Lease entitled “Certain Transfers” is hereby amended to provide that notwithstanding any other provision in the Lease to the contrary, (A) Landlord’s consent shall not be required for the subletting of all or any portion of the Premises to any entity controlling, under common control with, or controlled by Tenant (a “Tenant Affiliate”), and (B) Landlord’s consent shall not be required for the assignment of this Lease to a Tenant Affiliate, or as a result of a sale of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets, the sale of the capital stock of Tenant, or as the result of a merger by Tenant with or into another entity or a reorganization of Tenant (a “Permitted Transfer”), so long as (i) the net worth of the successor or reorganized entity after such Permitted Transfer is at least equal to the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to the date of such Permitted Transfer, evidence of which, satisfactory to Landlord, shall be presented

4


 

to Landlord prior to such Permitted Transfer, (ii) Tenant shall provide to Landlord, prior to such Permitted Transfer, written notice of such Permitted Transfer and such assignment documentation and other information as Landlord may reasonably require in connection therewith, and (iii) all of the terms and requirements of Section 9.2 and 9.3 (but not of Section 9.1) shall apply with respect to such assignment.
     J. Holding Over. Section 15.1 of the Lease is amended to provide that in the event of a holdover by Tenant in the Premises, any holdover “premium” Basic Rent payable by Tenant as provided in said Section 15.1 shall be prorated, on a 30-day basis, based on Tenant’s actual holdover possession of the Premises.

EXHIBIT X
WORK LETTER
BUILD TO SUIT
(Landlord’s Contribution)
     The tenant improvement work (the “Tenant Improvements” and the “Tenant Improvement Work”) shall consist of the work, including work in place as of the date hereof, required to complete the improvements to the Premises as shown in the space plan (the “Plan”) prepared by LPA, dated July 9, 2009, and the cost estimate (the “Cost Estimate”) prepared by Roel, dated July 9, 2009. A copy of the Cost Estimate is attached hereto as Exhibit X-1. The Tenant Improvement Work shall also include the work described in “Capital Alternate A”, “Capital Alternate B”, “Capital Alternate C”, and “Capital Alternate D” in the Plan and the Cost Estimate. The Tenant Improvement Work shall be performed by a contractor selected by Landlord and in accordance with the requirements and procedures set forth below.
I. ARCHITECTURAL AND CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES.
     A. Landlord shall pay up to the amount of the “Landlord’s Maximum Contribution” (as defined below) towards the cost of the Tenant Improvement Work. Any additional cost of the Tenant Improvement Work, including additional costs resulting from “Changes” (as hereinafter defined) requested by Tenant shall be borne solely by Tenant and paid to Landlord as hereinafter provided. Unless otherwise specified in the Plan or Cost Estimate, all materials, specifications and finishes utilized in constructing the Tenant Improvements shall be Landlord’s building standard tenant improvements, materials and specifications for the Project as set forth in Schedule I attached hereto (“Standard Improvements”). Should Landlord submit any additional plans, equipment specification sheets, or other matters to Tenant for approval or completion in connection with the Tenant Improvement Work, Tenant shall respond in writing, as appropriate, within 5 business days unless a shorter period is provided herein. Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any matter, and any disapproval shall be limited to items not previously approved by Tenant in the Plan or otherwise.
     B. In the event that Tenant requests in writing a revision to the Plan (“Change”), and Landlord so approves such Change as provided in Section I.C below, Landlord shall advise Tenant by written change order as soon as is practical of any increase in the cost to complete the Tenant Improvement Work that such Change would cause. Tenant shall approve or disapprove such change order in writing within 5 business days following Tenant’s receipt of such change order. If Tenant approves any such change order, Tenant shall pay the cost of any attributable increase in the cost to complete the Tenant Improvements over the Landlord’s Maximum Contribution within 30 days after delivery of invoices for same. If Tenant disapproves any such change order, Tenant shall nonetheless be responsible for the reasonable architectural and/or planning fees incurred in preparing such change order. Landlord shall have no obligation to interrupt or modify the Tenant Improvement Work pending Tenant’s approval of a change order, but if Tenant fails to timely approve a change order, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) suspend the applicable Tenant Improvement Work.
     C. Landlord agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to Tenant’s requested Changes, including without limitation, any modification of a Standard Improvement in the Plan to a non-standard improvement (“Non-Standard Improvement”), unless Landlord determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such requested Change (i) is of a lesser quality than the Tenant Improvements previously approved by Landlord, (ii) fails to conform to applicable governmental requirements, (iii) would result in the Premises requiring building services beyond the level normally provided to other tenants, (iv) interferes in any manner with the proper functioning of, or Landlord’s access to, any mechanical, electrical, plumbing or HVAC systems, facilities or equipment in or serving the Building, or (v) would have an adverse aesthetic impact to the Premises or cause additional expenses to Landlord in reletting the Premises. The cost to complete any Non-Standard Improvements shall be borne by

1


 

Tenant. All Standard Improvements and Non-Standard Improvements shall become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered with the Premises at the end of the Term; except that Landlord may, by notice to Tenant given at the time of Landlord’s approval by any Change(s), require Tenant either to remove all or any of the Tenant Improvements approved by way of such Change, to repair any damage to the Premises or the Common Area arising from such removal, and to replace any Non-Standard Improvements approved by way of such Change with the applicable Standard Improvement, or to reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of such removal, repair and replacement upon demand. Any such removals, repairs and replacements by Tenant shall be completed by the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease. Landlord confirms and agrees that no restoration/removal of any of the Tenant Improvements shown in the approved Plan shall be required.
     D. Tenant hereby designates                      (“Tenant’s Construction Representative”), Telephone No. (___) ___-___, as its representative, agent and attorney-in-fact for all matters related to the Tenant Improvement Work, including but not by way of limitation, for purposes of receiving notices, approving submittals and issuing requests for Changes, and Landlord shall be entitled to rely upon authorizations and directives of such person(s) as if given directly by Tenant. The foregoing authorization is intended to provide assurance to Landlord that it may rely upon the directives and decision making of the Tenant’s Construction Representative with respect to the Tenant Improvement Work and is not intended to limit or reduce Landlord’s right to reasonably rely upon any decisions or directives given by other officers or representatives of Tenant. Tenant may amend the designation of its Tenant’s Construction Representative(s) at any time upon delivery of written notice to Landlord.
     E. It is understood that all or a portion of the Tenant Improvements may be done during Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises. In this regard, Tenant agrees to assume any risk of injury, loss or damage to Tenant to the extent not the result of Landlord’s or its contractor’s negligence or willful misconduct. While Landlord agrees to employ construction practices reasonably intended to minimize disruptions to the operation of Tenant’s business in the Premises, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that some minor disruptions may occur during the course of construction of the Tenant Improvements, and in no event shall rent abate as the result of the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall pay for and cause Tenant’s files and other equipment (including computers) to be moved as necessary so as to facilitate the Tenant Improvements Work. Any loud and major disruptive work shall be done outside of normal business hours.
II. COST OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS WORK
     A. Subject to the provisions of Articles II.E and II.F below, Landlord shall pay up to One Million Four Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty Dollars ($1,475,760.00), based on $43.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises (“Landlord’s Maximum Contribution”), of the final “Completion Cost” (as defined below). Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord’s Maximum Contribution is intended only as the maximum amount Landlord will pay toward this Completion Cost of the approved Tenant Improvements, and not by way of limitation, any partitions, modular office stations, fixtures, cabling, furniture and equipment requested by Tenant are in no event subject to payment as part of Landlord’s Contribution. In the event the sum of the Completion Cost for the Tenant Improvements is less than the Landlord’s Maximum Contribution, Landlord’s actual contribution toward the Completion Cost (“Landlord’s Contribution”) shall equal such lesser amount, and Tenant shall have no right to receive any credit, refund or allowance of any kind for any unused portion of the Landlord’s Maximum Contribution nor shall Tenant be allowed to make revisions to an approved Plan or Cost Estimate or request a Change in an effort to apply any unused portion of Landlord’s Maximum Contribution.
     B. Tenant shall pay the amount, if any, by which aggregate Completion Cost of the Tenant Improvements Work exceeds the Landlord’s Maximum Contribution. The amounts to be paid by Tenant for the Tenant Improvements pursuant to this Section II.C. is sometimes cumulatively referred to herein as the “Tenant’s Contribution”.

2


 

     C. The “Completion Cost” shall mean all costs of Landlord in completing the Tenant Improvements Work, including but not limited to the following: (i) payments made to architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors and other third party consultants in the performance of the Work, (ii) permit fees and other sums paid to governmental agencies, and (iii) costs of all materials incorporated into the Work or used in connection with the Work. The Completion Cost shall also include an administrative/supervision fee to be paid to Landlord or to Landlord’s management agent in the amount of 3% of the Completion Cost. Unless expressly authorized in writing by Landlord, the Completion Cost shall not include (and no portion of the Landlord Contribution shall be paid for) any costs incurred by Tenant, including without limitation, any costs for space planners, managers, advisors or consultants retained by Tenant in connection with the Tenant Improvements.
     D. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of the Tenant’s Contribution set forth in the approved Cost Estimate as follows: (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Tenant’s Contribution prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements or any Changes, (ii) forty percent (40%) of the Tenant’s Contribution not later than thirty (30) days following the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and (iii) ten percent (10%) of the Tenant’s Contribution upon substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements. Following completion of the Tenant Improvements Work, Tenant shall pay (or be refunded) any difference between the estimated and the actual amount of the Tenant’s Contribution towards the Completion Cost, which difference shall be calculated by first applying Landlord’s Contribution, in full, to the actual amount of the final Completion Cost. If Tenant defaults in the payment of any sums due under this Work Letter, Landlord shall (in addition to all other remedies) have the same rights as in the case of Tenant’s failure to pay rent under the Lease, including, without limitation, the right to terminate this Lease and recover damages from Tenant and/or to charge a late payment fee and to collect interest on delinquent payments, and Landlord may (but shall not be required to) suspend the Tenant Improvement Work following such default.
     E. Any portion of the “Landlord’s Amortizing Contribution” (as hereinafter defined) funded by Landlord towards the Completion Cost shall be amortized over the 84-month Term of the Lease as extended by this Amendment, using an interest factor of eight percent (8%) per annum, and the Basic Rent payable during said 84 months of this Lease by Tenant shall be increased by said amortized payments, retroactive July 1, 2009. Upon request by Landlord, the amount of such rental adjustment shall be memorialized on a form provided by Landlord. In the event that the amount of the rental adjustment is finally determined subsequent to the substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord a lump sum amount equal to the total accrued sums owing due to the retroactive adjustment. As used herein, the “Landlord’s Amortizing Contribution” shall mean that portion of the Landlord’s Contribution actually funded by Landlord towards the Completion Cost which portion is in excess of the amount of Nine Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Two Hundred Eighty Dollars ($995,280.00), based on $29.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises.
     F. Capital Alternates. The Completion Cost of Capital Alternate B shall be amortized, using an interest factor of 5% per annum, over the useful life of said Capital Alternate B of fifteen (15) years and the Completion Cost of Capital Alternate C and Capital Alternate D shall be amortized, using an interest factor of 5% per annum, over the useful life of said Capital Alternates C and D of seven (7) years, and said amortized costs shall be paid by Tenant as part of the Building Costs as and when provided in Section 4.2 of the Lease. The amortization of these costs shall not commence until such time as all improvements are installed and fully operational.
III. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
     A. All claims or disputes between Landlord and Tenant arising out of, or relating to, this Work Letter shall be decided by the JAMS/ENDISPUTE (“JAMS”), or its successor, with such arbitration to be held in Orange County, California, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. Within 10 business days following submission to JAMS, JAMS shall designate three arbitrators and each party may, within 5 business days thereafter, veto one of the three persons so designated. If two different designated arbitrators have been vetoed, the third arbitrator shall hear and decide the matter. If less than 2 arbitrators are timely vetoed,

3


 

JAMS shall select a single arbitrator from the non-vetoed arbitrators originally designated by JAMS, who shall hear and decide the matter. Any arbitration pursuant to this section shall be decided within 30 days of submission to JAMS. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties.
