liability and property damage limit of at least $[***]. Such insurance shall
have customary coverages with exclusions reasonably approved by the other Party
to protect the other Party against liability for injury or death to persons and
loss or damage to property arising out of or in connection with the use of the
license herein granted. Within three (3) days of the Effective Date, each Party
shall furnish to the other certificates from its insurance carrier certifying
that the above-specified insurance has been fully paid for and is in full force

2.
(ii) "Fair Market Rental," as that term is used in this
subsection shall mean the current market rate per month being charged to new
tenants for triple net leases of comparable office, laboratory space and [***]
facility in the South San Francisco area, determined as follows:
(1) At least 60 but not more than 90 days prior to June
30, 2007, Sublandlord shall give Subtenant written notice of its estimate of
Fair Market Rental. Subtenant shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of
Sublandlord's notice to accept such value or to object thereto in writing. In
the event Subtenant objects, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall attempt to agree
upon the Fair Market Rental, using their best good faith efforts. If Sublandlord
and Subtenant fail to reach agreement within such fifteen (15) days, then each
party's determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the
procedure set forth in the following subsections.
(2) Sublandlord and Subtenant shall each appoint one
arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker who shall have been
active over the five (5) year period immediately preceding the date of such
appointment in the leasing of office and laboratory space in the South San
Francisco area.
(3) Not later than ten (10) days after both arbitrators
are appointed, each party shall separately but simultaneously submit in a sealed
envelope to each arbitrator their separate suggested Fair Market Rental values.
If the higher rate of the two submitted suggested Fair Market Rental values does
not exceed the lower rate by more than five percent (5%), then the two rates
shall be averaged (thus splitting the difference and avoiding additional
arbitration costs), with the resulting value becoming the Fair Market Rental.
(4) If the Fair Market Rental is not established by the
provisions in subsection (3) above, the two arbitrators appointed shall, on of
before fifteen (15) days from the date of the appointment of the last appointed
arbitrator, agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified
under the same criteria set forth above for qualification of the initial two
arbitrators.
(5) Each of the three arbitrators, within thirty (30)
days of the appointment of the third arbitrator, shall independently determine
the Fair Market Rental. If the higher and lower values determined by the
arbitrators so not differ by more five percent (5%) from the middle value, all
values shall be averaged and the resulting value shall be determined to be the
Fair Market Rental. If either of the arbitrator's values differ from the middle
value by more than five percent (5%), such value shall not be considered and the
remaining values shall be averaged to determine the Fair Market Rental. If two
of the arbitrators' values differ from the middle value by more than five
percent (5%), neither such value shall be considered, and the middle value shall
be deemed to be the Fair Market Rental.
(6) The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Sublandlord
and Subtenant equally.

3.
(b) ADDITIONAL RENT. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, as
additional rent ("Additional Rent"), Subtenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating
Expenses accruing during the term of this Sublease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event any amounts payable by Sublandlord to Master Landlord
are (i) due to Sublandlord's breach of any provision of the Master Lease, (ii)
due to Sublandlord's negligence or willful misconduct, or (iii) are for the sole
benefit of Sublandlord, such amounts shall not be pro rated between Sublandlord
and Subtenant and shall be the sole responsibility of Sublandlord. For purposes
hereof, Subtenant's Pro Rata Share means 25.36%.
(c) PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Subtenant shall be responsible for and
shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes and assessments levied against or by
reason of (a) any and all alterations, additions and items installed or placed
on or in the Sublease Premises and taxed as personal property rather than as
real property, and/or (b) all personal property, trade fixtures and other
property placed by Subtenant on or about the Sublease Premises
7. AS-IS. The Sublease Premises and all improvements will be taken over
on an "as is" basis.
8. INCORPORATION OF MASTER LEASE.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Sublease, all of the terms
and provisions of the Master Lease are incorporated into and made a part of this
Sublease, and the rights and obligations of the parties under the Master Lease
are hereby imposed upon the parties hereto with respect to the Sublease
Premises, the Sublandlord being substituted for the Landlord in the Master

14. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Subtenant shall peacefully have, hold and enjoy the
Sublease Premises, subject to the terms and conditions of this Sublease and
subject to the Master Lease, provided that Subtenant pays all rent and performs
all of Subtenant's covenants and agreements contained herein. If Master Landlord
seeks to terminate the Master Lease because of a default or alleged default by
Sublandlord under the Master Lease (other than a default or alleged default
caused by the default by Subtenant under this Sublease), Sublandlord shall take
all action required to reinstate the Master Lease. In the event that Sublandlord
defaults in the performance or observance of any of Sublandlord's obligations
under this Sublease or receives a notice of default from Master Landlord under
the Master Lease, then Subtenant shall give written notice to Sublandlord
specifying in what manner Sublandlord has defaulted. If such default shall not
be cured within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days
after Sublandlord's receipt of such written notice from Subtenant (except that
if such default cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period, this period
shall be extended for an additional reasonable time, provided that Sublandlord
commences to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and proceeds
diligently thereafter to effect such cure as quickly as possible), then
Subtenant shall be entitled, at Subtenant's option, to cure such default and
promptly collect from Sublandlord Subtenant's reasonable expenses in so doing
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs)
unless such default by Sublandlord is caused by a default of Subtenant hereunder
(in which case Sublandlord shall not be liable for Subtenant's costs to cure the
default). Subtenant shall not be required to wait the entire cure period
provided for herein if

earlier action is required to prevent a termination by Master Landlord of the
Master Lease and Sublandlord has failed to take such earlier action. Nothing
contained herein shall entitle Subtenant to act on behalf of Sublandlord or in
Sublandlord's name.
15. CONSENT OF MASTER LANDLORD. If Subtenant desires to take any action
which requires the consent of Master Landlord pursuant to the terms of the
Master Lease, including, without limitation, the making of any alterations,
then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) Sublandlord,
independently, shall have the same rights of approval or disapproval as Master
Landlord has under the Master Lease, (b) Subtenant shall not take any such
action until it obtains the consent of both Sublandlord and Master Landlord, and
(c) Subtenant shall request that Sublandlord obtain Master Landlord's consent on
Subtenant's behalf and Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain such consent and any out-of-pocket expense of obtaining such consent
shall be borne by Subtenant, unless Sublandlord and Master Landlord agree that
Subtenant may contact Master Landlord directly with respect to the specific
action for which Master Landlord's consent is required.
16. NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. The benefit of the provisions of this
Sublease is expressly limited to Sublandlord and Subtenant and their permitted
successors and assigns. Under no circumstances will any third party be construed
to have any rights as a third party beneficiary with respect to any of said
provisions.
17. MASTER LANDLORD CONSENT TO SUBLEASE. This Sublease and Sublandlord's
and Subtenant's obligations hereunder are conditioned upon having obtained the
written consent of the Master Landlord to this Sublease.
18. SURRENDER. Subtenant's obligation to surrender the Sublease Premises
shall be fulfilled if Subtenant (i) surrenders possession of the Sublease
Premises in the condition existing immediately prior to the Commencement Date,
ordinary wear and tear, Hazardous Materials existing immediately prior to the
Commencement Date, and interior improvements made by Subtenant which Sublandlord
states in writing may be surrendered at the termination of the Sublease
excepted; and (ii) completes all site closure activities relative to the
Sublease Premises and receives all necessary governmental or regulatory
approvals as may be required to decommission the Sublease Premises and obtain
the site closure of all permits and licenses relating to Subtenant's use of
Hazardous Materials in the Sublease Premises.
19. MUTUAL WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. The waiver of subrogation provision
set forth in Section 12.4 of the Master Lease shall be deemed a three party
agreement binding among and inuring to the benefit of Sublandlord, Subtenant and
Master Landlord (by reason of its consent to hereto).
20. NON-DISTURBANCE. In the event that the Sublease terminates prior to
the expiration of the term thereof for any reason other than as a result of an
event of default by Subtenant under the Sublease, the Sublease shall continue in
full force and effect, at Subtenant's option, as a direct lease between the
Master Landlord and Subtenant upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions of
the Sublease and Master Landlord shall recognize Subtenant's right to possession
of the Premises as provided for in the Sublease and shall not disturb
Subtenant's right to possession so long as an event of default does not exist in
the performance of Subtenant's obligations under the Sublease.
7.
21. COUNTERPARTS. This Sublease may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and
all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
