Exhibit 10.2
LEASE
     THIS LEASE (this “ Lease ”) is entered into and effective as of December 4, 2007 (the “ Commencement Date ”), by and between DMH Campus Investors, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company (“ Landlord ”), and Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. , a Delaware corporation (“ Tenant ”).
RECITALS
     A. Landlord owns that certain real property (the “ Land ”) located in the City of San Diego, County of San Diego, State of California, commonly known as 12780 and 12790 El Camino Real, as legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto, together with all existing and hereafter constructed improvements thereto, including, but not limited to, two buildings totaling approximately 220,804 rentable square feet (the interior of such buildings collectively referred to as the “ Premises ”), of which about 8,522 square feet is cafeteria and related space (the “ Cafeteria ”), all as generally depicted in the floor plans attached hereto as Exhibit B , and the right to use all easements and appurtenances owned by Landlord benefiting the Land (collectively, the “ Appurtenant Rights ”). The Land, the Premises and the Appurtenant Rights are collectively referred to herein as the “ Property .” The Property is adjacent to a vacant parcel of land (known as Parcel 1 of the same map referenced in Exhibit A) owned by Landlord, which does not contain any buildings, but which may be the subject of future development (the “ Adjacent Parcel ”). Although Tenant is the sole tenant of the Premises, the term “ Common Area ” is used in this Lease to mean all aspects of the Property other than the Premises, such as the exterior of the Premises, loading docks, ramps, drives, platforms, and the pipes, conduits, wires and appurtenant equipment serving the Premises but located outside of the Premises, the outdoor amphitheatre (the “ Amphitheatre ”), water features, trash areas, parking areas, retention basin, roadways, sidewalks, walkways, parkways, driveways and landscaped areas and similar areas and facilities appurtenant to the Premises and located on the Property. The nature of the Common Area may be altered in accordance with the Multi-Tenant Provisions (described below).
     B. Landlord desires to lease to Tenant, and Tenant desires to lease from Landlord, the Premises on the terms and conditions set forth below.
ARTICLE 1
PREMISES
     1.1 Lease . Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Premises for the “ Term ” (as defined in Article 2 ) and upon the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease. In addition, in accordance with the terms of this Lease, Tenant (and through Tenant, its employees, agents, guests, invitees, customers, service-providers, and licensees [collectively, “ Tenant’s Invitees "]) is granted the right to use the Common Area in connection with its lease of the Premises throughout the Term of this Lease and any Appurtenant Rights reasonably necessary for Tenant’s permitted use hereunder. If any building is constructed on the Adjacent Parcel, then on the date that a tenant begins occupancy of any portion of such building, this Lease will be amended to incorporate the provisions of the attached Exhibit C (the “ Multi-Tenant Provisions ”).
     1.2 Confirmation of Square Footage. For purposes of this Lease, “rentable square feet” shall mean “rentable area” calculated pursuant to the Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, ANSI/BOMA Z65.1 – 1996, as amended and superseded from time to time (“ BOMA ”). Promptly after the full execution and delivery of this Lease, the square footage of the Premises shall be remeasured by a space measurement consultant selected by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant,

1


 
and such verification shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.2 . In the event that the space measurement consultant determines that the square footage of the Premises differs from the amounts set forth in Recital A above, Landlord shall modify all amounts and figures appearing or referred to in this Lease to conform to such corrected rentable square footage (provided that the total amount of the “Monthly Rental,” as that term is defined in Article 4 of this Lease shall not increase due to such remeasurement). If such modification is made, it will be confirmed in writing by Landlord to Tenant.
ARTICLE 2
TERM AND EXTENSION OPTIONS
     2.1 Term . The term of this Lease (the “ Term ”) begins on the Commencement Date and ends on the last day of the month in which the twelfth (12 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date falls, or the earlier termination of this Lease in accordance with the provisions of this Lease (the “ Expiration Date ”). The Term and Expiration Date may be extended in accordance with Section 2.2 below.
     2.2 Extension Of Term .
          (a) Subject to Section 2.2(e) below, Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term for all of the Premises (“ Renewal Option(s) ”)) for two (2) consecutive ten (10)-year periods (each a “ Renewal Term ”). The Renewal Options granted herein may be exercised by the original Tenant and any Permitted Assignee who occupies more than half of the Premises. The Expiration Date and the date that the first Renewal Term expires shall be referred to herein as a “ Renewal Date .” Any such extension of the Term shall be subject to and on all of the same terms and conditions of this Lease, as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, except that Monthly Rental (as defined below) shall be as determined by this Section 2.2 below, and Monthly Rental will automatically increase by 3.0% on each anniversary of the Renewal Date throughout the Renewal Term. To exercise a Renewal Option, at least twelve (12) months prior to the applicable Renewal Date, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice stating that Tenant is exercising its extension option (“ Extension Notice ”). Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Extension Notice, Landlord shall determine the Fair Market Rental Rate (as defined below) by using its good faith judgment and deliver written notice thereof (“ Option Rent Notice ”) to Tenant. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days (“ Tenant’s Review Period ”) after receipt of the Option Rent Notice to accept in writing Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate. In the event Tenant objects to, or fails to accept, Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate within the Tenant’s Review Period, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon such Fair Market Rental Rate, using their best good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on the Fair Market Rental Rate within thirty (30) days after the expiration of Tenant’s Review Period (“ Outside Agreement Date ”), then each party shall place in a separate sealed envelope their final proposal as to Fair Market Rental Rate and such determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the procedure set forth below.
          (b) If Landlord fails to timely generate and deliver the initial Option Rent Notice which triggers the negotiations procedure of Section 2.2(a) above, then Tenant may commence such negotiations by providing written notice of Tenant’s suggested Fair Market Rental Rate, in which event Landlord shall have thirty (30) days (“ Landlord’s Review Period ”) after receipt of Tenant’s notice of its proposed rental rate within which to accept such proposed rental. In the event Landlord fails to accept in writing the rental proposed by Tenant, then such proposal shall be deemed rejected, and Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to agree upon such Fair Market Rental Rate, using their best good faith efforts. If the parties fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s Review Period

2


 
(which shall be, in such event, the “ Outside Agreement Date ” in lieu of the above definition of such date), then each party shall place in a separate sealed envelope their final proposal as to Fair Market Rental Rate and such determination shall be submitted to a Qualified Appraiser as set forth below.
          (c) For purposes of this Lease, the term “ Fair Market Rental Rate ” shall mean the annual amount per square foot that tenants are paying in then-current transactions between landlords and non-affiliated parties from new or renewal, non-expansion (unless the expansion is pursuant to a comparable definition of Fair Market Rental Rate), non-equity tenants of comparable credit-worthiness, for comparable space, for a comparable use for a comparable period of time (“ Comparable Transactions ”). In determining Comparable Transactions with respect to the Building at 12790 El Camino Real, the applicable market is to be the Del Mar Heights office submarket in San Diego, California, and with respect to the Building at 12780 El Camino Real, the applicable market is to be the Torrey Pines, UTC, and Sorrento Mesa laboratory submarkets within San Diego, California. In any determination of Comparable Transactions, appropriate consideration shall be given to the annual rental rates per rentable square foot, the standard of measurement by which the rentable square footage is measured, the ratio of rentable square feet to the usable square feet, the type of escalation clause ( e.g. , whether increases in additional rent are determined on a net or gross basis), parking rights and obligations, signage rights, abatement provisions reflecting free rent and/or no rent during the period of construction or subsequent to the commencement date as to the space in question, brokerage commissions, if any, which would be payable by Landlord in similar transactions, length of lease term, size and location of premises being leased, building standard work letter and/or tenant improvement allowances, if any, the condition of the base building and the landlord’s responsibility with respect thereto, the value, if any, of the existing tenant improvements and other generally applicable conditions of tenancy for such Comparable Transactions. The parties acknowledge and agree that the intent of this paragraph is to ensure that Tenant will obtain the same rent and other economic benefits that Landlord would otherwise give in Comparable Transactions and that Landlord will make and receive the same economic payments and concessions that Landlord would otherwise make and receive in Comparable Transactions with another tenant for the Premises as if Tenant hereunder elected not to exercise its Renewal Option(s).
          (d) Landlord and Tenant will attempt to agree on a single MAI appraiser or commercial real estate broker with at least five (5) years’ experience in appraising properties in San Diego County, California, that are similar to the Premises (a “ Qualified Appraiser ”). Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall consult with such Qualified Appraiser as to its opinion of the Fair Market Rental Rate prior to the appointment. If the parties agree on a single Qualified Appraiser, then each party shall submit to such Qualified Appraiser its separate sealed envelope containing its opinion of the Fair Market Rental Rate of the Premises as of the Outside Agreement Date. The sole responsibility of the Qualified Appraiser will be to determine which of the rental amounts submitted by Landlord and Tenant most accurately reflects the Fair Market Rental Rate of the Premises as of the Outside Agreement Date. The Qualified Appraiser shall select either Landlord’s or Tenant’s rental amount. The Qualified Appraiser has no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the determinations made by either party. The Qualified Appraiser’s choice will be submitted to the parties within fifteen (15) days after his or her selection. If the parties are unable to agree on a single Qualified Appraiser within fifteen (15) days following the Outside Agreement Date, each party will appoint a Qualified Appraiser. Such Qualified Appraisers will then agree upon and designate a third Qualified Appraiser, who shall make the determination described above. Such third Qualified Appraiser may hold such hearings and require such briefs as the Qualified Appraiser, in his or her sole discretion, determines is necessary. In addition, Landlord or Tenant may submit to the Qualified Appraiser, with a copy to the other party, within five (5) days after the appointment of the Qualified Appraiser any market data and additional information that such party deems relevant to the determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate (“ FMRR Data ”) and the

3


 
other party may submit a reply in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such FMRR Data. Each party will pay one-half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of the determining Qualified Appraiser. Each party will pay the fees and expenses of the Qualified Appraiser selected by it, if applicable. Both parties shall use their good faith and diligent efforts to ensure that the foregoing procedure to determine the Fair Market Rental Rate shall be completed on or before six (6) months prior to the scheduled commencement of the applicable Renewal Term. The Fair Market Rental Rate determination shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
          (e) The Renewal Options automatically terminate and become void if (a) Tenant fails to give Landlord an Extension Notice at least 12 months before the then-current Expiration Date, (b) three times in any 18-month period tenant commits a monetary default for which Landlord gives a notice regarding such default (regardless of whether or not the default is subsequently cured), or (c) Tenant assigns or subleases more than 50% of the rentable square feet of the Premises other than to a Permitted Assignee.
ARTICLE 3
POSSESSION
     3.1 Condition . Tenant hereby acknowledges that it developed the Property and has occupied the Premises since its completion and is currently in possession of the Premises, and is familiar with the condition thereof and accepts the Property in its “as-is” condition with all faults, and Landlord makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to the Property, and Landlord shall have no obligation to improve, alter or repair any aspect of the Property, except as specifically set forth herein. Tenant waives all warranties, whether express or implied (including any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose), with respect to the Premises and the Property.
ARTICLE 4
RENTAL
     4.1 Monthly Rental . Tenant shall pay to Landlord the initial monthly amount of Six Hundred Thirty-Two Thousand Six Hundred Fifteen and 75/100 Dollars ($632,615.75) (“ Monthly Rental ”), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 19.2 below. Monthly Rental shall be paid in advance, on or before the first (1st) day of each month, without deduction, setoff, prior notice, or prior demand, commencing on the Commencement Date (subject to any abatements expressly provided for in this Lease). Should the Commencement Date be a day other than the first (1st) day of a calendar month, then the monthly installment of Monthly Rental for the first partial month shall be equal to one-thirtieth (1/30th) of the monthly installment of Monthly Rental for each day from the Commencement Date to the end of the partial month.
     4.2 Adjustment To Monthly Rental . The Monthly Rental payable under Section 4.1 shall be increased annually commencing on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, and on each anniversary of such date thereafter (each an “ Adjustment Date ”). Upon the Adjustment Date the Monthly Rental amount shall be increased by three percent (3%) of the Monthly Rental payable by Tenant immediately prior to the applicable Adjustment Date.
     4.3 Additional Rental . In addition to Monthly Rental, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as “ Additional Rental ,” all sums required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease including, but not limited to, Operating Expenses (as defined below), interest and late charges. All payment obligations of Tenant under this Lease are deemed rent and Landlord shall have the same rights

4


 
and remedies for the nonpayment of such rent, including Additional Rental, as it has with respect to the nonpayment of Monthly Rental. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant is solely responsible for all costs for the care, maintenance, taxes, insurance, utilities, repair and operating expenses of the Premises.
          (a) Tenant shall pay monthly installments of Operating Expenses on the first day of each month, in amounts specified in good faith by Landlord from time to time, which, by the end of each calendar year (or by the Expiration Date, if earlier), will total Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Operating Expenses to be incurred for such year. For partial years, the Operating Expenses will be calculated on a full-year basis and then prorated. If at any time Landlord incurs an unanticipated Operating Expense (or any other expense to be borne by Tenant under this Lease), Landlord may invoice Tenant for reimbursement of such expense any time after the expense is incurred, in which case Tenant shall pay the amount so invoiced within 30 days after Landlord delivers the invoice. As soon as is reasonably practicable after the end of each calendar year during which Tenant paid Operating Expenses based on Landlord’s estimates as provided above, Landlord will furnish Tenant a reasonably detailed statement of Operating Expenses for such calendar year (the “ Statement ”). Any amounts owing for that year shall, within thirty (30) days, be paid by Tenant to Landlord. Any amounts overpaid shall, at Landlord’s option, be credited against the next installment(s) of estimated Operating Expenses and Monthly Rent due from Tenant, or be refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the Statement. The parties’ obligations with respect to payment or refund of any deficiency or overpayment shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease; provided that no Operating Expense payments shall be due from Tenant which are not billed to Tenant within one (1) year after the Expiration Date of this Lease, and provided further that Tenant’s failure to dispute the amount of any Operating Expense or reconciliation statement within 180 days after Tenant’s receipt of a reconciliation statement for the applicable calendar year, shall be deemed Tenant’s waiver to ever make a claim based on Operating Expenses for the applicable year.
          (b) As used in this Lease, the term “ Operating Expenses ” means any and all costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind and character that Landlord in good faith incurs, pays or becomes obligated to pay in connection with its ownership interest in the Property, or the operation, maintenance, management, repair, replacement, and security thereof; plus, with respect to such costs, expenses, and disbursements for the Property which do not exclusively pertain to the Property, the portion of such expenses which Landlord reasonably and equitably allocates to the Property. If before the Multi-Tenant Provisions become effective, there are any costs incurred in a single bill or contract (e.g., landscaping services) which benefit both the Property and the Adjacent Parcel, Landlord may allocate the costs of such items on an equitable basis to the Property and the Adjacent Parcel, and include that portion of the bill which is reasonably and equitably allocated to the Property in Operating Expenses. Operating Expenses include, without limitation, any and all assessments Landlord must pay pursuant to any covenants, conditions or restrictions, reciprocal easement agreements, tenancy-in-common agreements or similar restrictions and agreements affecting the Premises, Taxes (as defined below), assessments and other similar governmental charges; water and sewer charges; the cost and expense of insurance, including loss of rents coverage and all other coverage procured by Landlord, and any applicable deductibles (provided the same are commercially reasonable and to the extent in excess of $25,000, such deductibles shall be treated as a Capital Expense (as defined below)); utilities (other than those paid directly by Tenant to the utility provider); security; labor and personnel costs (including applicable overhead); parking lot maintenance and repair; a management fee to Landlord or its agent in the amount of 3.5% of the Monthly Rental (the “ Management Fee ”); heating, ventilating and air conditioning repairs, replacements (which will be treated as Capital Items), and maintenance; waste disposal; elevator maintenance; repair, replacement (which replacements may, in certain circumstances described below, be treated as Capital Items), and maintenance of the plumbing, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, electrical, life safety and building management systems furnished by Landlord (the “ Building Systems ”);

5


 
costs associated with the upkeep and operation of all parking and Common Areas; costs and expenses of gardening and landscaping; maintenance of signs (other than costs incurred by Tenant to maintain Tenant’s signs); and personal property taxes levied on or attributable to personal property used in connection with the Property. As to Capital Expenses (as defined below), such expenses shall only be included in Operating Expenses if such Capital Items (as defined below) (i) are incurred in order for the Property to comply with Applicable Laws, (ii) can reasonably be anticipated to reduce Operating Expenses that would otherwise be incurred, or (iii) are determined by Landlord to be reasonably necessary to keep the Property in a first class condition based upon wear and tear of such items, but all such Capital Expenses shall be amortized over the reasonable useful life of such improvement, replacement, repair or equipment as reasonably determined by Landlord (including an interest factor of the then-applicable Prime Rate). All Operating Expenses for Capital Items are " Capital Expenses .” For purposes of this Lease, the term “ Capital Items ” means those items that individually cost more than $50,000.00 that are considered capital repairs, replacements, improvements or equipment under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and any insurance deductible to the extent exceeding $25,000.00.
          (c) Notwithstanding the above, Operating Expenses shall not include the following:
                    (i) Interest, principal, depreciation, and other lender costs and closing costs on any mortgage or mortgages, ground lease payments, or other debt instrument encumbering the Premises;
                    (ii) Any bad debt loss, rent loss, or reserves for bad debt or rent loss;
                    (iii) Landlord’s costs of defending or prosecuting any lawsuit with any mortgagee, lender, ground lessor, broker, tenant, occupant, or prospective tenant or occupant;
                    (iv) Landlord’s costs of selling or syndicating any of Landlord’s interest in the Premises; and disputes between Landlord and Landlord’s property manager;
                    (v) Landlord’s general corporate or partnership overhead and general administrative expenses, and legal and accounting costs to the extent the same are not related to the management of the Project;
                    (vi) Salaries of management personnel above the level of property manager who are not directly related to the Premises or primarily engaged in the operation, maintenance, and repair of the Premises, except to the extent that those costs and expenses are included in the management fees;
                    (vii) Advertising, promotional expenditures and leasing expenses primarily directed toward obtaining tenants to lease space in the Property;
                    (viii) Leasing commissions, space-planning costs, attorney fees and costs, disbursements, and other expenses incurred in connection with leasing, other negotiations, or disputes with tenants, occupants, prospective tenants, or other prospective occupants of the Premises, or associated with the enforcement of any leases;
                    (ix) Charitable or political contributions;
                    (x) Costs for which Landlord is reimbursed by a third party (other than through Operating Expense reimbursements);

6


 
                    (xi) Fees paid to any affiliate or party related to Landlord to the extent such fees exceed the charges for comparable services rendered by unaffiliated third parties of comparable skill, stature and reputation in the same market (excluding the Management Fee);
                    (xii) Any costs incurred in connection with the redevelopment or any future expansion of the Property or the Adjacent Parcel, including construction costs, permitting, design, or any other cost or fee in connection with such future development process;
                    (xiii) Any cost relating to the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Property or Adjacent Parcel in violation of Applicable Law to the extent such cost is the sole responsibility of Landlord or Tenant under Section 20.19 below or any costs associated with the migration of Hazardous Materials onto the Project or Property;
                    (xiv) any reserves for Capital Items; or
                    (xv) The cost of any item which Tenant pays directly (e.g., if the Multi-Tenant Provisions apply and Tenant pays directly all HVAC maintenance for its Premises it will not be responsible for its Pro Rata Share of HVAC maintenance for any other portion of the Project).
     4.4 Audit Right . Upon Tenant’s written request given not more than 120 days after Tenant’s receipt of a Statement for a particular calendar year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with such reasonable supporting documentation in connection with said Operating Expenses as Tenant may reasonably request. Landlord shall provide said information to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s written request therefor. Within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of a Statement by Tenant (the “ Review Period ”), if Tenant disputes the amount of Operating Expenses set forth in the Statement, an independent certified public accountant (which accountant (A) is a member of a regionally recognized accounting firm, and (B) is not working on a contingency fee basis), designated and paid for by Tenant, may, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, inspect Landlord’s records with respect to the Statement at Landlord’s offices, provided that Tenant has paid all amounts required to be paid under the applicable Statement. If after such inspection, Tenant still disputes such Additional Rent, a determination as to the proper amount shall be made, at Tenant’s cost, by an independent certified public accountant (the " Accountant ”) selected by Landlord and subject to Tenant’s reasonable approval; provided that if such determination by the Accountant proves that Operating Expenses were overstated by more than five percent (5%), then the cost of the Accountant and the cost of such determination shall be paid for by Landlord.
     4.5 Payment of Rent . All rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States, without any abatement, reduction or offset for any reason whatsoever, on the first day of each month. Tenant shall pay Monthly Rental and Additional Rental to Landlord c/o Veralliance Properties, Inc., 8910 University Center Lane, Suite 630, San Diego, California 92122, or to such other address as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing to Tenant; provided that Tenant shall also be permitted to pay rent by bank wire or electronic funds transfer (“ EFT ”), in which case Landlord will, at Tenant’s request, provide Tenant with wiring instructions or other reasonably necessary information to accomplish such EFT.
     4.6 Late Payments . If Tenant fails to pay any Monthly Rental or estimated Operating Expenses within five business days of the first day of the calendar month, or Tenant fails to pay or reimburse Landlord any other amount to be paid under this Lease within 30 days after invoicing (or the period set forth in this Lease if different), Tenant shall pay a late fee equal to three percent (3.0%) of such unpaid amount. In addition, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the rate equal to the sum of five percent (5.0%) plus the Prime Rate per annum (the “ Interest Rate ”) from the due date if payment is not

7


 
made by the 5 th business day of each month, as to Monthly Rental or estimated Operating Expenses, or within 30 days after invoicing from Landlord, as to all other payment obligations of Tenant under this Lease. As used herein, “ Prime Rate ” shall mean the base rate on corporate loans at large U.S. money center commercial banks as published from time to time by The Wall Street Journal , adjusted monthly to such published rate. In addition, Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any installment of Monthly Rental or Additional Rental will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses, the exact amount of which are extremely difficult or impractical to fix. These costs and expenses may include, but are not limited to, administrative and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses. Landlord and Tenant agree that the late charges described herein represent a reasonable estimate of the costs and expenses Landlord will incur and is fair compensation to Landlord for its loss suffered by reason of late payment by Tenant. If a late charge is payable under this Lease, whether or not collected, at least three times during any 18-month period, then Tenant’s monthly payments automatically will become due and payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly. (All monies paid to Landlord under the preceding sentence may be commingled with other monies of Landlord and will not bear interest; if Tenant breaches any provision of this Lease, then any balance remaining from such funds may, at Landlord’s election, be applied to the payment of any monetary default of Tenant.)
     4.7 Security Deposit/Letter of Credit . The parties agree that on or before the Commencement Date, and subject to adjustment as set forth below, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a security deposit in the amount of nine times the initial Monthly Rental (the “ Security Deposit ”); i.e., $5,693,541.75. In lieu of depositing a cash Security Deposit with Landlord, Tenant may provide Landlord with an irrevocable and transferable standby letter of credit in accordance with the rules of ISP98 (or such other commonly accepted rules governing standbys reasonably acceptable to Landlord) in a form and issued by a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Landlord (“ Letter of Credit ”), which Letter of Credit must automatically extend for minimum one-year periods unless, at least 60 days prior to expiration, Landlord receives written notice from the issuer of the Letter of Credit that the Letter of Credit will not be extended for at least a one-year period (a “ Non-Renewal Notice ”). Landlord may draw the Letter of Credit in part or in full in the event of any uncured default by Tenant or to pay for any Tenant obligations under this Lease or in the event Landlord receives a Non-Renewal Notice. To the extent Landlord draws more funds on the Letter of Credit than can be applied to obligations then due or payable to Landlord, the excess will be held by Landlord as a cash Security Deposit subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.7. Within 10 business days after Landlord’s request, and at Landlord’s sole cost, Tenant shall cause the Letter of Credit to be re-issued or transferred to any buyer or lender of Landlord or to be replaced if it is lost, mutilated, stolen, or destroyed (provided that in the case of a loss, mutilation, theft, or destruction, Landlord may be required as a condition of such replacement to sign the standard “lost instrument affidavit and indemnity” or similar agreement on the issuing bank’s standard form as a condition to replacement). Tenant shall ensure that, on each third Adjustment Date throughout the Term (as it may be extended), the sum of the unexpended portion of the Security Deposit plus the balance of the Letter of Credit equals nine times the then applicable Monthly Rental.
     (a)  Application of Security Deposit/Letter of Credit . Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security interest in the Security Deposit, including, but not limited to, replenishments thereof. Landlord may apply such portion or portions of the Security Deposit as are reasonably necessary for the following purposes: (a) to remedy any default by Tenant, including Tenant’s failure to pay Monthly Rental or Additional Rental or a late charge or interest on defaulted rent, or any other monetary payment obligation of Tenant under this Lease; (b) to repair damage to the Premises caused or permitted to occur by Tenant or Tenant’s Invitee after all applicable notice and cure periods have elapsed; (c) to clean, restore and repair the Premises following surrender to Landlord if not surrendered in the condition required pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, and (d) to remedy any other default of Tenant to the extent permitted by law including, without limitation, paying in full on Tenant’s behalf any sums claimed

8


 
by materialmen or contractors of Tenant to be owing to them by Tenant for work done or improvements made at Tenant’s request to the Premises, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods. Tenant hereby waives all rights and restrictions contained in Section 1950.7(c) of the California Civil Code and/or any successor statute. In the event the Security Deposit or Letter of Credit or any portion thereof is so used, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, promptly upon receipt of written demand therefor, an amount in cash sufficient to fully restore the cash Security Deposit or within ten (10) business days after demand shall increase the face value of the Letter of Credit, as the case may be. If such Security Deposit shall be posted in cash, it shall be held by Landlord in a separate interest-bearing account, and the interest earned thereon shall be paid annually to Tenant. If Landlord transfers the Premises during the Term, Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to any subsequent owner, in which event the transferring landlord shall be released from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Tenant specifically grants to Landlord (and Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1950.7 to the contrary) a period of thirty (30) days following a surrender of the Premises by Tenant to Landlord within which to inspect the Premises, determine the expected costs to make required restorations and repairs, receive, and prepare an accounting with respect to the Security Deposit. In no event shall the Security Deposit or any portion thereof, be considered prepaid rent.
          (b) Minimum Cash Reserve Requirement . In the event that at any time during the Term, the amount of Tenant’s cash and readily marketable investments that Tenant has available (“ Cash Reserve ”) totals less than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), then Tenant shall increase the security for this Lease by an amount equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), as adjusted concurrent with and in proportion to the annual increases in Monthly Rental (the “Additional Security”), by either (i) posting an additional cash Security Deposit, or (ii) causing an additional Letter of Credit to be issued, or (iii) increasing the face amount of the existing Letter of Credit, Cash Reserve excludes cash balances required to be maintained under any debt agreements, including but not limited to debt service reserve funds, sinking funds, principal and interest funds, and other debt related funds that are required to be maintained as part of a debt obligation. In the event that Tenant’s Cash Reserve later increases above Fifty Million Dollars and remains at or above that level for eight consecutive calendar quarters, or if Tenant’s Cash Reserve at any time increases above Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000), provided that Tenant is not in default under this Lease, any additional cash Security Deposit will be returned and any additional Letter of Credit will be cancelled, or any increase in the original Letter of Credit will be reduced, and Landlord agrees to sign any documents or perform any acts necessary to cause the foregoing to occur (but Tenant’s right to the return of the additional amount after exceeding the applicable minimum Cash Reserve does not affect the Landlord’s subsequent right to require the additional security if Tenant’s Cash Reserve again falls below such minimum). From time to time during the Lease Term, but no more often than quarterly, Landlord will be permitted to receive from Tenant reasonable evidence of Tenant’s Cash Reserve, including statements as to the Cash Reserve certified by Tenant’s CEO and CFO on behalf of Tenant and acting in their corporate capacity, which Tenant will provide to Landlord within ten (10) business days after request.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in the event that any of the sanitary, electrical, heating, air conditioning, water, elevator, life safety or other essential systems serving the Premises (collectively, the “ Essential Services ”) are not supplied to the Premises (i) solely due to Landlord’s (or its agents, employees, licensee’s or contractor’s) gross negligence or (ii) in connection with construction on the Adjacent Parcel or in connection with the construction of Building 3 or new development of buildings on the Property (an “ Abatement Event ”), and such inability materially impairs Tenant’s ability to carry on its business in the Premises for a period of five (5) consecutive business days, the Monthly Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated commencing with the sixth (6th) business day of such material interference with Tenant’s business, based upon the extent to which such inability to supply Essential Services materially impairs Tenant’s ability to carry on its business in the Premises. Such abatement shall continue until the Essential Services have been restored to such extent that the lack of any remaining services no longer materially impairs Tenant’s ability to carry on its business in the Premises.

If, in accordance with this paragraph, Tenant makes any repairs that Landlord is obligated to make pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall pay the cost of such repairs to Tenant with interest at the Interest Rate from the date of such expenditure by Tenant promptly upon receipt of a bill from Tenant for same.

If Landlord’s consent is required, then Tenant shall submit to Landlord detailed plans and specifications for all proposed Alterations when requesting Landlord’s consent of such proposed Alterations. Tenant shall comply with all conditions which may be reasonably imposed by Landlord, including but not limited to Landlord’s reasonable approval of all contractors or construction techniques (but Landlord may not unreasonably impose such restrictions) and, if the estimated cost of the design and construction of the alterations exceeds $500,000, the establishment of security for payment of such amounts, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for architectural, engineering, or other consulting costs which reasonably may be incurred by Landlord in determining whether to approve any such Alterations. Tenant shall, before commencing any Alterations, at Tenant’s sole cost, (i) acquire (and deliver to Landlord a copy of) a permit from appropriate governmental agencies to make such Alterations (any conditions of which permit Tenant shall comply with, at Tenant’s sole cost, in a prompt and expeditious manner), (ii) if the cost of the Alteration exceeds $500,000, obtain and deliver to Landlord (unless this condition is waived in writing by Landlord) a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to 125% of the estimated cost of the proposed Alterations, to insure Landlord against any liability for mechanics’ liens and to ensure completion of the work, (iii) obtain (and deliver to Landlord proof of) reasonably adequate insurance, including workers compensation insurance, with respect to the individuals and entities installing or involved with such Alterations (which insurance Tenant shall maintain in force until completion of the Alterations).

14


 
     9.2 Total Taking . In the event of a Taking of the entire Premises, this Lease shall terminate and expire as of the date possession is delivered to the condemning authority and Landlord and Tenant shall each be released from any liability accruing pursuant to this Lease after the date of such termination, but Monthly Rental and Additional Rental for the last month of Tenant’s occupancy shall be prorated and Landlord shall refund to Tenant any Monthly Rental and Additional Rental paid in advance.
     9.3 Partial Taking .
          (a) Tenant’s Right to Terminate . Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon giving notice in writing of such election to Landlord within sixty (60) days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice that a portion of the Premises has been or shall be so taken if, (a) there is a Taking of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises and Tenant reasonably determines that such Taking will have a material adverse impact upon Tenant’s business, or (b) because of the laws then in force, the Premises may not be used for the same use being made before such Taking, whether or not restored. This Lease shall terminate effective as of the date Tenant is required to vacate the portion of the Premises taken. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, if within 20 days after Landlord’s receipt of the Tenant’s termination notice under this paragraph, Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord at its cost will add to the remaining Premises so that the area of the Premises will be substantially the same after the Condemnation as they were before the Condemnation, and such work will be completed within six (6) months after the date of such taking, and further provided that Landlord commences the restoration promptly after Landlord so notifies Tenant and completes the required work within such six (6) month period, then all obligations of Tenant under this Lease remain in effect, except that Monthly Rental and all Additional Rent will be abated or reduced during the period from the date of condemnation until the completion of such restoration by the ratio of (A) the area of the Premises taken to (B) the area of the Premises immediately before the Date of Condemnation, or if the remainder of the Premises is not usable by Tenant for its intended purposes hereunder, then rent shall be entirely abated.
          (b) Landlord’s Right to Terminate . Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon giving notice in writing of such election to Tenant within sixty (60) days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice that a portion of the Premises has been or shall be so taken if, (a) there is a Taking of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises, or (b) because of the laws then in force, the Premises may not be used for the same use being made before such Taking, whether or not restored. This Lease shall terminate effective as of the date Tenant is required to vacate the portion of the Premises taken.
          (c) Landlord and Tenant waive the provisions of any statute (including California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 or any successor statute) that allows Landlord or Tenant to petition the applicable court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises.
     9.4 Award . The entire award or compensation in any such condemnation proceeding, whether for a total or partial Taking, or for diminution in the value of the leasehold or for the fee, shall belong to and be the property of Landlord; and, in any event, the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Premises shall have a first priority to the extent of the unpaid balance of principal and interest on its loan. Without derogating the rights of Landlord or said lender under the preceding sentence, Tenant shall be entitled to recover from the condemning authority such compensation as may be separately awarded by the condemning authority to Tenant or recoverable from the condemning authority by Tenant in its own right for the taking of trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property owned by Tenant and for the expense of removing and relocating its business, for loss of goodwill and for other damages to its business.

15


 
     9.5 Continuation Of Lease . In the event of a partial Taking, if neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate this Lease as provided above (or has no right to so terminate), Landlord agrees, at Landlord’s cost and expense (to the extent of condemnation proceeds actually received) as soon as reasonably possible after the Taking, to restore the Premises on the land remaining to a complete unit of like quality and character as existed prior to the Taking (and usable by Tenant for the same purposes and to the same extent used prior to the taking), provided that in no event shall Landlord be required to restore Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures or equipment or any Alterations made by Tenant and, thereafter, Monthly Rental and Additional Rent shall be reduced based on the square footage of the interior portion of any building taken as compared to the portion remaining. In the event of a Taking of all or a portion of the parking area and Landlord is unable to promptly provide Tenant with suitable replacement parking area of at least 540 total spaces, Monthly Rental shall be reduced on an equitable basis, taking into account the relative value of the parking spaces taken unless Landlord provides reasonable on-site alternative, or reasonable proximate (with shuttle service) parking arrangements.
ARTICLE 10
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
     10.1 Landlord’s Consent Required . Tenant shall not assign, sublet, pledge, encumber, license or hypothecate all or any part of this Lease or Tenant’s interest in the Premises (provided the foregoing shall apply to Tenant’s leasehold interest only and not to equipment loans, drug licensing or other encumbrances or arrangements not attaching to the interest in the leasehold estate) or permit the assignment, disposition, transfer, acquisition, or issuance of direct or indirect ownership interests (whether stock, partnership or otherwise) in Tenant, to or by any person, entity, or group of related persons or affiliated entities, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, which results in such person, entity, or group holding (or assigning, transferring, disposing of, or selling) 50% or more of the aggregate ownership interests in Tenant outstanding immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions (collectively, “ Assignment ” or “ Assign ”) without first procuring the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord’s disapproval of a proposed Assignment is deemed reasonable if the proposed Assignment, in Landlord’s reasonable determination, could jeopardize Landlord’s (or any of its owner’s) tax status (whether as a REIT, ERISA plan, or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that Tenant is a publicly traded company and the sale of stock in Tenant which occurs over a public or private stock exchange is not within Tenant’s control and Landlord will not have any consent rights with respect to any such transfers or sale of stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Tenant may, upon written notice to Landlord, but without obtaining Landlord’s consent, without constituting a default under this Lease, (a) assign this Lease or all or any portion of the Premises to (i) any parent or subsidiary entity of Tenant, (ii) any person or entity that acquires all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or all or any portion of the capital stock or other ownership interest in Tenant, (iii) any entity with which Tenant merges or is consolidated, regardless of whether Tenant is the surviving entity, or (iv) any person or entity that acquires all or substantially all of the business or assets operated or located on the Premises; or (b) cause a sale or transfer of all or any portion of the capital stock or other ownership interests in Tenant (each successor entity, assignee, purchaser or subtenant in (a) or (b) being referred to herein as a “ Permitted Assignee ”) provided that effective no later than the assignment to the Permitted Assignee (if a full assignment rather than a mere sublease and not in the case where the Permitted Assignee is, by operation of law, the successor to Tenant), the original Tenant under this Lease execute a guaranty of all tenant obligations under this Lease substantially in the form of the attached Exhibit E . In addition, an Assignment shall not include, and Landlord’s consent shall not be required for, any sale or other transfer of Tenant’s capital stock (or other ownership interest if Tenant is not a corporation) including, but not limited to, any sale or transfer by an existing shareholder.

16


 
     10.2 Procedures . Should Tenant desire to enter into an Assignment for which Landlord’s consent is required, Tenant shall request, in writing, Landlord’s consent to the proposed Assignment at least fifteen (15) days before the intended effective date of the proposed Assignment, which request shall include the following: (a) a copy of the proposed Assignment agreement, (b) reasonable evidence of the financial condition, operating history and management of the Assignee, and the Assignee’s intended use for the Premises (including its proposed Operations Plan), and (c) any information relevant to the proposed Assignment that Landlord may reasonably request. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of Tenant’s request for consent to the proposed Assignment together with all of the above-required information (including any follow-up information reasonably requested by Landlord), Landlord shall respond in writing by either: (i) consenting to the proposed Assignment; or (ii) refusing to consent to the proposed Assignment and citing the specific reason(s) for such refusal. If Landlord fails to respond within such 10-business day period, Tenant may give Landlord a notice that expressly states the following in all capital letters: “URGENT NOTICE TO LANDLORD. IF YOU FAIL TO DISAPPROVE OF THE REQUESTED ASSIGNMENT DESCRIBED BELOW WITHIN THREE BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, YOUR FAILURE WILL BE DEEMED CONSENT TO THE DESCRIBED ASSIGNMENT.” Landlord’s failure to respond within such 3-business day period to Tenant’s second request for the proposed Assignment shall be deemed Landlord’s consent thereto. Landlord will not be liable in damages to Tenant or to any proposed subtenant, assignee or other transferee if such consent is adjudicated to have been unreasonably withheld, in which case Tenant’s sole remedies are (i) to have the proposed Transfer declared valid as if Landlord’s consent had been given (in which case Tenant will be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees if Tenant is the prevailing party in such litigation) and Landlord agrees and consents to such relief being obtainable via ex parte application or (ii) monetary damages if Tenant establishes that Landlord’s consent was withheld in bad faith. Tenant irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all rent and other amounts from any Assignment, and Landlord, as assignee and as special attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord’s application, may collect such rent and other amounts and apply them toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; except that, unless and until Tenant receives notice from Landlord to the contrary, Tenant may collect such rent and other amounts. Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable costs of reviewing, consenting to, rejecting or consummating any proposed Transfer, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord one-half of all rents and other consideration, of whatever nature, payable by the proposed transferee (or receivable by Tenant) pursuant to any Assignment (net of Tenant’s out-of-pocket leasing commission, legal fees, marketing costs, improvement costs and any similar cost items incurred in connection with the Assignment), that exceeds (1) if a sublease of a portion of the Premises, the portion of the Monthly Rental and Additional Rent that is allocable to the portion of the Premises subleased (such allocation based on the area of the portion subleased), or (2) if any other Assignment, the Monthly Rental and Additional Rent attributable to the Premises.
     10.3 No Release/Waiver . No Assignment, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant from its obligations under this Lease and, as a condition to any Assignment (if a full assignment rather than a mere sublease and not in the case where the Permitted Assignee is, by operation of law, the successor to Tenant), Tenant shall execute a guaranty of all tenant obligations under this Lease in the form of the attached Exhibit E . A consent to one Assignment by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent Assignment to any other party.
     10.4 Form . Any Assignment (other than to a Permitted Assignee) shall be evidenced by an instrument in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and executed by Tenant and the assignee or sublessee, as the case may be, to evidence the Assignee’s assumption of the Lease. Any assignment to a Permitted Assignee in which the surviving entity is not Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc., will contain an express written provision by which the Permitted Assignee expressly assumes in writing all of

17


 
the obligations under this Lease, and Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with reasonable evidence of such assignment and assumption.
ARTICLE 11
INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY
     11.1 Tenant’s Insurance . Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall procure, pay for and keep in full force and effect throughout the Term the following types of insurance, in at least the amounts and in the forms specified below:
          (a) Commercial general liability insurance with combined single limit for bodily injury, personal injury, death and property damage liability coverage in the amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) per occurrence. The commercial general liability limits may be met by a combination of primary and umbrella insurance policies. Such policies shall insure against personal injury, bodily injury, death and damage to property occurring on or around the Property, or resulting from Tenant’s or Tenant’s invitee’s use or occupancy of the Property, or resulting from Tenant’s activities in or about the Property, which insurance shall contain “blanket contractual liability” and “broad form property damage” endorsements insuring Tenant’s performance of Tenant’s obligations to indemnify Landlord as contained in this Lease. All such liability insurance shall specifically insure the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreement set forth in Section 11.5 .
          (b) Worker’s compensation coverage as required by law.
          (c) Business interruption insurance for a period of six months.
          (d) Insurance covering all of Tenant’s Alterations, trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property from time to time in, on or about the Premises in an amount not less than their full replacement value from time to time, providing protection against any peril included within an ISO “Special Form” insurance policy.
          (e) Employers Liability Coverage of at least $1,000,000.00 per occurrence.
     11.2 Landlord’s Insurance .
          (a) Landlord shall maintain, as the minimum coverage required of it by this Lease, fire and property damage insurance in an ISO “Special Form” policy (formerly known as an “all-risk” policy) insuring Landlord (and Landlord’s lender as a loss payee) against loss from physical damage to the Premises with coverage of not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full actual replacement cost thereof and against loss of rents for a period of not less than twelve (12) months, together with endorsements to cover any additional work required to comply with any Applicable Laws at the time of restoration. Such fire and property damage insurance, at Landlord’s election, but without any requirements on Landlord’s behalf to do so, (i) may be written in so-called “all risk” form, excluding only those perils commonly excluded from such coverage by Landlord’s then property damage insurer; and/or (ii) may provide coverage for physical damage to the improvements so insured for up to the entire full actual replacement cost thereof. Landlord shall not be required to cause such insurance to cover any of Tenant’s personal property, inventory or trade fixtures or any modifications, or any Alterations made or constructed by Tenant to or within the Premises after the Commencement Date. No such policy for fire and property damage insurance required to be maintained by Landlord pursuant to this paragraph shall have a deductible greater than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), unless approved in writing by Tenant. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such insurance at competitive rates.

18


 
          (b) Landlord shall maintain commercial general liability insurance insuring Landlord (and Landlord’s lender as an additional insured) against liability for personal injury, bodily injury, death and damage to property occurring in, on or about, or resulting from the use or occupancy of the Property, or any portion thereof, with combined single limit coverage of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). Landlord may carry such greater coverage as Landlord or Landlord’s lender may from time to time determine is reasonably necessary for the adequate protection of Landlord and the Property, provided that such limit shall in no event exceed the limit commonly carried by owners of property similarly situated and operating under similar circumstances unless as part of an Umbrella or blanket policy covering more than the Property (in which case the Property’s allocable share of the premium for such above-market limit may not exceed the premium that would be payable for a limit commonly carried by owners of property similarly situated and operating under similar circumstances). Any deductible for Landlord’s commercial general liability insurance will not be included in Operating Expenses.
          (c) Landlord may insure against loss or damage to the improvements located on the Property caused by earthquake or Differences in Conditions. In the event of damage due to an earthquake, Landlord shall bear the cost of any deductible payable in connection therewith, except to the extent of Tenant’s pro rata share of such deductible (i.e., 100%, unless and until the Multi-Tenant Provisions become effective), amortized as a Capital Expense pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.3 above. In no event shall Tenant be responsible for any shortfall amount of such earthquake insurance proceeds.
          (d) Landlord may procure pollution insurance. If such insurance is procured for a multi-year period, the costs of such coverage will be included in Operating Expenses on an amortized basis over the period of such insurance coverage (as if the cost were a Capital Expense and the useful life of such Capital Expense were the term of the coverage).
          (e) Landlord may maintain any other commercially reasonable insurance which in the reasonable opinion of its insurance broker, advisor or legal counsel is prudent in carry under the given circumstances, provided such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates and commonly carried by owners of property similarly situated and operating under similar circumstances.
     11.3 Policy Form . All policies of insurance required of Tenant herein shall be issued by insurance companies with general policy holder’s rating of not less than A and a financial rating of not less than Class VII, as rated in the most current available “Best’s Key Rating Guide”, and which are admitted to do business in the State of California. All such policies, except for the Worker’s Compensation coverage, shall name as additional insureds, Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee(s), ground lessor(s), or beneficiary(ies) whose names and addresses have been provided to Tenant, The Prudential Insurance Company of America (or any of its affiliates designated by Landlord), and Landlord’s managing agent (which initially is Veralliance Properties, Inc.). Executed copies of the policies of insurance or certificates thereof shall be delivered to Landlord on or before the Commencement Date. Thereafter, executed copies of renewal policies or certificates thereof shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the expiration of the term of each policy. All policies of insurance delivered to Landlord must contain a provision that the company writing the policy will give to Landlord at least 10 days’ prior written notice of any cancellation or lapse in such insurance. All policies required of Tenant herein shall be endorsed to read that such policies are primary policies as to claims within the Premises and any insurance carried by Landlord or Landlord’s property manager shall be noncontributing with such policies.
     11.4 Blanket Policies . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 11 , Landlord or Tenant’s obligation to carry insurance may be satisfied by coverage under a so-called

19


 
blanket or umbrella policy or policies of insurance if approved by the other party which approval may not unreasonably be withheld).
     11.5 Indemnity .
          (a) “ Landlord ” for the purposes of this Section 11.5 shall mean and include Landlord and Landlord’s successors, assigns, shareholders, members, partners, directors, employees, contractors and agents. Tenant shall defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action, demands, rights, damages, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs), liabilities, debts, obligations, judgments, remedies, benefits, losses and expenses of any kind whatsoever (collectively, “ Claims ”) which may now or in the future be incurred or suffered by Landlord by reason of, arising out of or connected with (i) Tenant’s or Tenant’s Invitee’s acts or omissions, (ii) any breach of this Lease by Tenant, (iii) violation of any Applicable Law caused by Tenant or any Tenant Invitee, or (iv) the death, bodily injury or property damage suffered by any third party occurring (A) within the Premises (or on or about the Premises after the Multi Tenant Provisions become effective) or (B) directly resulting from Tenant’s or Tenant’s Invitee’s use or occupancy of the Premises, or from Tenant’s or Tenant’s Invitee’s activities in or about the Premises. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall not be liable for, and Tenant’s indemnity under this Section 11.5(a) shall not extend to, (1) any damage or injury to the extent and in the proportion that the same is ultimately determined to be attributable to the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord or (2) any punitive damages claimed by Landlord. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any amounts paid to Landlord by Tenant under this Section 11.5(a) to the extent Landlord receives insurance proceeds therefor. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 11.5(a) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
          (b) “ Tenant ” for the purposes of this Section 11.5(b) shall mean and include Tenant and Tenant’s successors, assigns, shareholders, members, partners, employees, contractors and agents. Landlord shall defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Tenant), indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from and against any and all Claims which may now or in the future be incurred or suffered by Tenant by reason of, arising out of or connected with (i) Landlord’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct, or (ii) any breach of this Lease by Landlord. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall not be liable for, and Landlord’s indemnity under this Section 11.5(b) shall not extend (1) to any damage or injury to the extent and in the proportion that the same is ultimately determined to be attributable to the negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Invitee, or (2) any punitive damages claimed by Tenant. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any amounts incurred by Landlord under this Section 11.5(a) to the extent Tenant receives insurance proceeds therefor. Landlord’s obligations under this Section 11.5(b) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
     11.6 Waiver Of Subrogation . Landlord and Tenant (as applicable, the “Insuring Party”) each waives any rights it may have against the other on account of any loss or damage occasioned to the Insuring Party arising from any liability, loss, damage or injury caused by fire or other casualty to the extent insurance is carried or required to be carried by the Insuring Party pursuant to this Lease. All insurance policies obtained by Landlord and Tenant relating to the Premises (other than the liability policies) shall contain endorsements waiving any right of subrogation which the insurer may otherwise have against the noninsuring party. The foregoing release and the foregoing requirement for waivers of subrogation shall be operative only so long as the same shall not preclude the obtaining of such insurance; provided that if either party’s insurer refuses to include the waiver of subrogation provided for above, such party must notify the other party and if such other party finds an alternate insurer who will provide such a waiver, the insurance will be purchased from the insurer willing to waive subrogation.

     11.7 Failure By Tenant To Maintain Insurance . If Tenant refuses or neglects to secure and maintain insurance policies complying with the provisions of this Article 11 , Landlord may, after notice to Tenant and a five (5) business day cure period, secure the appropriate insurance policies and Tenant shall pay, upon demand, the cost of same to Landlord along with a coordination fee in the amount of 10% of the costs of such insurance, as Additional Rental.
ARTICLE 12
DAMAGE
     12.1 Insured Casualty . In the case of damage by fire or other perils covered by the insurance carried or required to be carried pursuant to Article 11 , provided that neither Landlord nor Tenant terminates this Lease as provided herein, Landlord shall as soon as possible commence such repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Premises and shall diligently prosecute the same to completion, but Landlord shall not be required to restore Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment and personal property or Alterations made by Tenant after the Commencement Date (unless insurance proceeds are specifically designated for and available to restore such Alterations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) the Premises is destroyed to an extent of at least fifty percent (50%) of the then full replacement cost thereof as of the date of destruction, (b) the destruction occurs during the last year of the Term (as it may have been extended), or (c) the Premises is damaged by any peril and, because of the laws then in force, the Premises cannot be used for the same use being made thereof before such damage, then Tenant and Landlord shall each have the right to terminate this Lease. A party may exercise this termination right by giving written notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after the date of such destruction. In addition, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease in the event the Premises is damaged by any peril to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore the Premises exceeds the insurance proceeds received by Landlord by more than $250,000, which option may be exercised only by delivery to Tenant of a written notice of election to terminate before the 45th day after Landlord’s receipt of the insurance proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, at its election (but shall not be obligated to), provide Landlord with funds to cover such shortfall, within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s termination notice, in which event Landlord shall complete its repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Premises pursuant to this Article and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.1 , then the destruction will not terminate this Lease, and all obligations of Tenant under this Lease will remain in effect, except that, to the extent rental interruption insurance proceeds are paid to Landlord (or would have been paid, but for Landlord’s breach of Section 11.2(a)), the Monthly Rental and Operating Expenses will be abated or reduced, between the date of the destruction and the date of completion of restoration, by the ratio of (a) the area of the Premises rendered unusable or inaccessible by the destruction to (b) the area of the Premises before the destruction, or abated entirely if the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient for the conduct of Tenant’s business. The foregoing shall not affect Tenant’s rights set forth in Section 12.3 below.
     12.2 Uninsured Casualty . If the Premises is damaged as a result of any casualty not covered by the insurance carried or required to be carried pursuant to Article 11 , then, at Landlord’s option, either (a) within thirty (30) days following the date of such damage, Landlord may elect to, and shall as soon as possible after such election, commence repair, reconstruction or restoration of the Premises and diligently prosecute the same to completion or, (b) Landlord may elect within said thirty (30) days not to so repair, reconstruct or restore the damaged property, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate upon the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, unless Tenant agrees within fifteen (15) days after such election to pay the cost of the repair, reconstruction or restoration and provides Landlord with security for such payment, in which event Landlord shall be deemed to have elected the

21


 
option in subpart (a) in this Section 12.2 . If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.2 , then the destruction will not terminate this Lease, and all obligations of Tenant under this Lease will remain in effect, except that, to the extent rental interruption insurance proceeds are paid to Landlord (or would have been paid, but for Landlord’s breach of Section 11.2(a)), the Monthly Rental and Operating Expenses will be abated or reduced, between the date of the destruction and the date of completion of restoration, by the ratio of (a) the area of the Premises rendered unusable or inaccessible by the destruction to (b) the area of the Premises before the destruction, or abated entirely if the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient for the conduct of Tenant’s business. The foregoing shall not affect Tenant’s rights set forth in Section 12.3 below.
     12.3 Landlord’s Failure To Complete . If Landlord either elects or is required to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises pursuant to this Article 12 , and Landlord fails to complete such repair, reconstruction or restoration of the Premises on or before the date (the " Outside Repair Date ”) that is earlier of (a) 12 months after the date Landlord receives all required permits with respect to such repairs, or (b) 18 months after the date of the damage, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days thereafter.
     12.4 Damage Provision Controls . If Landlord restores the Premises as provided above, then Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) or any successor statute with respect to any destruction of the Premises.
ARTICLE 13
DEFAULTS BY TENANT
     13.1 Events Of Default . Should Tenant at any time:
          (a) fail to make any payment of Monthly Rental pursuant to this Lease for a period of three (3) business days after receipt of written notice from Landlord to Tenant regarding the delinquent payment (provided, however, any notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure of California or any similar, superseding statute), or
          (b) fail to make any monthly payment of Operating Expenses payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (where Landlord has notified Tenant in writing of the amount of monthly payment) for a period of three business days after receipt of written notice from Landlord to Tenant regarding the delinquent payment (provided, however, any notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure of California or any similar, superseding statute), or
          (c) fail to make any payment of any other charge payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (or to provide or increase the Security Deposit or Letter of Credit) for a period of ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice from Landlord to Tenant that such payment is due (provided, however, any notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure of California or any similar, superseding statute), or
          (d) Tenant’s default under any material debt obligation to a third-party (evidencing or resulting in a material adverse change to Tenant’s financial condition) or Tenant becomes insolvent, makes a transfer in fraud of creditors, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts when due or forfeits or loses its right to conduct business; provided that nothing in this Section 13.1(d) shall be construed to mean that a dispute between Tenant and any third

22


 
party will give rise to a default under this Lease and this section is intended to apply to undisputed claims which Tenant is unable to pay due to financial distress, or
          (e) Tenant’s failure to provide an estoppel or SNDA as required under this Lease within 10 business days after request from Landlord of Tenant to do so.
          (f) have filed against Tenant a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, same is dismissed within ninety (90) days), or
          (g) institute any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar or successor statute, code or act, or should an appointed trustee or receiver take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days, or
          (h) have all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or Tenant’s interest in this Lease attached or judicially seized where the seizure is not discharged within ninety (90) days, or
          (i) Tenant’s failure (other than a default described above in this Section 13.1) to comply with any term, provision, condition or covenant of this Lease, if the failure is not cured within 15 days after written notice to Tenant; provided, however, if Tenant’s failure to comply cannot reasonably be cured within 15 days, Tenant will be allowed additional time (not to exceed 60 days) as is reasonably necessary to cure the failure so long as Tenant begins the cure within 15 days and diligently pursues the cure to completion;
then the occurrence of any one (1) or more of the foregoing events (each, an “ Event of Default ”) constitutes a material breach of this Lease and, in addition to any or all other rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s option, without further notice or demand of any kind to Tenant or any other person, (i) to declare the Term ended and to re-enter and take possession of the Premises and remove all persons therefrom, or (ii) to the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (i.e., Landlord may continue the Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment (or Event of Default) and recover rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), or (iii) even though it may have continued the Lease as provided in subparagraph (ii) of this Section 13.1 , to thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and all of the rights of Tenant in or to the Premises. In any case in which Landlord shall re-enter and occupy the whole or any part of the Premises, by unlawful detainer proceedings or otherwise, Landlord, at its option, may repair, alter, subdivide or change the character of the Premises from time to time in such manner as Landlord deems best, or may relet the Premises or any part thereof and receive the rents therefor, and none of such actions shall constitute a termination of this Lease or a release of Tenant from any liability hereunder (provided that any amounts so received shall be credited against Tenant’s obligations hereunder). Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease, or the liability of Tenant to pay any Monthly Rental, Additional Rental or other charges later accruing, by any re-entry of the Premises pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of this Section 13.1 , or by any action in unlawful detainer or otherwise to obtain possession of the Premises, unless Landlord shall have notified Tenant in writing that it has so elected to terminate this Lease.
     As long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord may (i) continue this Lease in effect, (ii) continue to collect rent when due and enforce all the other provisions of this Lease, and (iii) enter the Premises and relet them, or any part of them, to third parties for Tenant’s

23


 
account, for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease. Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord all costs Landlord incurs in such reletting, including brokers’ commissions, attorneys’ fees, advertising costs, and reasonably necessary expenses of remodeling the Premises for such reletting. If Landlord elects to relet all or any portion of the Premises as permitted above, rent that Landlord receives from such reletting will be applied to the payment of amounts due from Tenant to Landlord, and then any sum remaining from the rent Landlord receives from the reletting will be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as it becomes due under this Lease. Tenant will not be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord unless and until all obligations of Tenant under this Lease, including all future obligations, are satisfied in full.
     13.2 Termination Of Lease . Should Landlord elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions of subparagraphs (i) or (iii) of Section 13.1 , Landlord may recover from Tenant, as damages, the following: (a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of the termination, plus (b) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, plus (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, plus (d) all other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in (i) retaking possession of the Premises, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs therefor, (ii) maintaining or preserving the Premises after any default, or (iii) any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises, plus (iv) at Landlord’s election, any other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by Applicable Laws.
     As used in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of Section 13.2 , the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the lesser of the Interest Rate and the maximum lawful rate. As used in subparagraph (c) of Section 13.2 , the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
     13.3 Definition Of Rental . For purposes of this Article 13 only, the term “rent” or “rental” shall be deemed to be Monthly Rental, Additional Rental and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease. All sums, other than Monthly Rental, shall, for the purpose of calculating any amount due under the provisions of subparagraph (c) of Section 13.2 , be computed on the basis of
