PART I
Item 1. Business
General
XOMA Corporation ("XOMA" or the "Company") is a biopharmaceutical company
developing products to treat infections, infectious complications of traumatic
injury and surgery, and immunologic and inflammatory disorders. The Company's
current product development programs include:
Neuprex(TM) (rBPI21), a modified recombinantly-derived fragment of human
bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein ("BPI") and XOMA's lead BPI-derived
product, which is currently in Phase III efficacy clinical trials in two
indications and in earlier-stage clinical trials in three additional
indications.
I-PREX(TM), a proprietary topical formulation of rBPI21 for the treatment
of ophthalmic disorders, which is undergoing preclinical testing as a treatment
for corneal injuries, including ulcerations and transplants.
Mycoprex(TM), a fungicidal peptide compound derived from BPI that is
currently in preclinical product development.
hu1124 (anti-CD11a), a humanized monoclonal antibody product being
developed in collaboration with Genentech, Inc. ("Genentech"), which originally
discovered the antibody and characterized it as anti-CD11a. The hu1124 product
is in Phase II clinical trials for psoriasis. Other indications are under
review.
In April 1997, XOMA and Pfizer Inc. ("Pfizer") decided to discontinue the
U.S. clinical trial of the Company's E5(R) monoclonal antibody product as a
treatment for gram-negative sepsis. In June 1997, the Company announced that
Pfizer had decided to end its marketing arrangement for E5(R).
Product Areas
The following describes XOMA's more significant therapeutic product
development and clinical activities:
The BPI Product Platform
The Company's current programs are primarily focused on developing novel
therapeutic products from bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein ("BPI").
BPI is a naturally-occurring human host-defense protein found in white blood
cells (neutrophils). BPI kills certain bacteria. It also binds to and
neutralizes endotoxins, molecular components of the cell walls of gram-negative
bacteria that can trigger severe complications in infected patients.
Furthermore, BPI inhibits angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels) by binding
to and neutralizing heparin, a natural protein involved in blood vessel
formation. Angiogenesis is an essential component of inflammation and solid
tumor growth.
BPI was discovered in 1978 by Peter Elsbach, M.D., Professor of Medicine,
and Jerrold Weiss, Ph.D., Professor of Microbiology, both at New York University
School of Medicine. XOMA has collaborated with NYU since 1991 to extend and
apply BPI-related research to the commercial development of pharmaceutical
products. Since March 1993, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("Patent
Office") has issued four patents and a Notice of Allowance relating to BPI to
NYU, and the Company is the exclusive licensee of these
2
<PAGE>
patents and the Notice of Allowance. See "Patents and Trade Secrets". XOMA has
an agreement with New York University ("NYU") relating to its rBPI products. See
"Research and License Agreements".
XOMA has adopted the BPI molecule as a platform for developing multiple
pharmaceutical products. In 1991 XOMA scientists developed a modified
recombinant fragment of the BPI molecule, called rBPI21, which is potent and
stable and can be manufactured at commercially viable yields. This modified
fragment is the basis for the Company's Neuprex(TM) and I-PREX(TM) products. In
1994 XOMA scientists discovered three functional domains in the BPI molecule
with pharmacologically-desirable activities. Based on this discovery, XOMA is
developing peptides from these domains into additional therapeutic products,
including the Mycoprex(TM) antifungal peptide product.
Neuprex(TM)
In December 1992, XOMA submitted an investigational new drug application
("IND") to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") to begin Phase I human
testing of Neuprex(TM). In March 1993, the Company began Phase I human safety
and pharmocokinetic testing under the IND. Beginning in 1995, the Company
initiated five clinical efficacy studies evaluating Neuprex(TM) as a treatment
for primary infections and major complications of infectious diseases, traumatic
injury and surgery. These indications are:
Severe pediatric meningococcemia: a deadly bacterial infection that usually
afflicts children. In August 1996, FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and
Research ("CBER") granted XOMA a Subpart E designation for Neuprex(TM) for the
treatment of severe pediatric meningococcemia following favorable results in an
open label Phase I/ II pilot study. This designation is intended to expedite the
development of treatments for life-threatening illnesses. The Company
subsequently began a Phase III pivotal trial for the indication in October 1996
in the United States and Canada. In the first quarter of 1997, XOMA added a
trial site in the United Kingdom to increase patient accrual. The company
enrolled additional U.K. sites in late 1997 and early 1998.
Hemorrhage due to trauma: accidents or injuries that cause acute blood loss
may trigger serious complications in up to 40% of patients who survive the
initial trauma and surgery. These patients may be infected by bacteria and their
endotoxins translocated from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream. A
placebo-controlled, double-blinded Phase II study in 401 patients began in June
1995 and was completed in October 1996. A follow-on single-blinded Phase II
pharmacokinetics study explored alternative dosing regimens in 169 patients.
Based on data from the Phase II studies, XOMA initiated in the fourth quarter of
1997 a Phase III pivotal trial, designed to enroll 1650 patients in 40 centers,
testing Neuprex(TM) to prevent serious pulmonary complications in trauma
patients.
Partial hepatectomy: surgical removal of part of the liver, usually to
remove an isolated tumor temporarily impairs liver function. Since the liver
normally clears bacteria and their endotoxins, these patients are at risk for
infectious complications. The double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase II study
in 35 patients began in mid-1995 and was concluded at the end of 1997. Review
and analysis of results is in progress.
Severe intra-abdominal infections: in 1996, the Company began a Phase I/II
open-label dose-ranging study testing Neuprex(TM) with conventional antibiotics
to treat patients with serious abdominal infections that required surgery.
Cystic fibrosis (CF): in the third quarter of 1997, XOMA initiated a
program to test Neuprex(TM) in CF patients whose genetic disorder predisposes
them to recurring bacterial lung infections (exacerbations). Over repeated
antibiotic treatments, the infecting bacteria often become resistant to
antibiotic treatment. A natural history study in the second half of 1997 tested
rBPI21, alone and in combina-
3
<PAGE>
tion with antibiotics, against bacterial cultures collected from CF patients. A
Phase I safety and pharmacokinetics study began in the fourth quarter of 1997.
There can be no assurance that any of the continuing trials will yield data
that will result in licensure of Neuprex(TM) in the U.S.
I-PREX(TM)
XOMA has developed a proprietary topical formulation of rBPI21 for the
treatment of ophthalmic infections. Although standard antibiotics fight
bacterial infections, they do not inhibit the growth of new blood vessels in the
cornea that may be associated with these infections. This neovascularization can
lead to scarring and permanently impaired vision. In preclinical testing, the
I-PREX(TM) product has shown both anti-ineffective and anti-angiogenic
(inhibition of blood vessel growth) properties in the treatment of corneal
injury and associated infection. The use of I-PREX(TM) to treat corneal
injuries, including ulcers and other corneal diseases, could eliminate the need
for current anti-inflammatory therapies, such as corticosteroids, which have
undesirable side effects.
Mycoprex(TM)
XOMA scientists discovered that certain peptide sequences derived from BPI
display potent fungicidal activity. Further research demonstrated that many of
these compounds not only kill strains of Candida, the most common fungi to cause
systemic illness, but also show activity against other strains of fungi,
including those resistant to the currently available drugs. Based on these
findings, the Company is conducting a program to develop compounds with a broad
spectrum of fungicidal activity and a better safety profile than
currently-available fungicidals.
LBP Assay
In the first quarter of 1997, the Company granted to BioSite Diagnostics
Incorporated of San Diego, California an exclusive U.S. license to make, use and
sell certain non-automated, point-of-care diagnostic and prognostic products for
measuring Lipopolysaccharide Binding Protein ("LBP") to detect bacterial
endotoxin exposure in patients with endotoxemia or sepsis. A non-exclusive
license was granted to SRL, Inc., a Japanese company, to make, use and sell
certain automated diagnostic and prognostic products for centralized laboratory
use in Japan.
hu1124 (anti-CD11a) Monoclonal Antibody Product
In April 1996, XOMA and Genentech entered into an agreement to co-develop
Genentech's anti-CD11a humanized monoclonal antibody product (hu1124). In late
1996, the Company started a Phase I trial in moderate to severe psoriasis
patients. In the second quarter of 1997, in response to findings that hu1124 was
active at smaller doses, XOMA started additional Phase I studies at lower doses.
XOMA announced a Phase II efficacy study in Canadian psoriasis patients in
February 1998. Other indications are under review by XOMA and Genentech.
Additional Product Areas
XOMA continues to seek opportunities to realize value from products and
technologies outside its core research efforts, including immunoconjugates,
immunofusions, mammalian and microbial cell expression technologies,
osteoinductive proteins for bone repair, and non-cariogenic proteins for
low-calorie flavor enhancement. Various licenses and sublicenses have been
entered into in these areas. Discussions are ongoing with other entities that
have expressed interest in these products and technologies. No assurance can be
given that any agreement or agreements will be reached as a result of the
ongoing discussions.
4
<PAGE>
In 1996, XOMA received a $2.2 million payment related to the sale of its
T-cell receptor ("TCR") technology to Connective Therapeutics, Inc., now called
Connetics Corporation ("Connetics"). Connetics is using the technology in its
TCR vaccines in development for treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and
rheumatoid arthritis. XOMA is entitled to royalties on future sales of these
products. In December 1997, Connetics successfully completed a Phase I/II study
of their MS TCR vaccine.
In 1996, XOMA also received a $3.0 million payment for an exclusive license
to Genentech, including a sublicense to IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation
("IDEC"), to intellectual property covering the use of chimeric IgG1 antibodies
specific to the CD20 antigen on the surface of human B-cells. XOMA was entitled
to royalties on the sale of products employing the anti-CD20 technology that are
sold in the United States and in other countries where XOMA held relevant
patents. In December 1997, XOMA assigned these anti-CD20 antibody patents and
royalty rights to Pharmaceutical Partners, LLC for $17.0 million.
XOMA has granted licenses to a number of biotechnology and pharmaceutical
companies for use of patented and proprietary technologies relating to a
bacterial expression system used to manufacture recombinant pharmaceutical
products. Licensees include: Affymax Research Institute, Cantab Pharmaceuticals
Research Ltd, Eli Lilly and Company, Enzon, Inc., the Hoechst Group, ICOS
Corporation, Invitrogen Corporation, Pasteur Merieux Serums & Vaccins, and The
Pharmacia & Upjohn Group.
Genimune(TM) is XOMA's humanized immunofusion product that targets T
lymphocytes (white blood cells that attack foreign cells) in autoimmune disease
therapy. For several years, the Company developed and evaluated several
proprietary variants of genetically-engineered proteins and targeted
immunofusions ("TIF"). In mid-1993 the Company selected a lead immunofusion
compound designated Genimune(TM). In December 1993, XOMA entered into
cross-license agreements with Research Development Foundation concerning
recombinant DNA-derived gelonin ("r-gelonin"), a plant-derived cytotoxic enzyme
used as a TIF component. In the fourth quarter of 1994, XOMA terminated further
internal development of Genimune(TM) and is attempting to outlicense the
product, but no assurance can be given that it will successfully do so.
Thaumatin, a flavor-enhancing protein developed by XOMA, was classified as
generally recognized as safe ("GRAS") by the Flavor and Extract Manufacturer's
Association ("FEMA"). GRAS designation permits the use of this ingredient as a
flavor enhancer in food without additional regulatory approval. Thaumatin is the
first flavoring ingredient produced through biotechnology to be granted GRAS
status. The Company is seeking to outlicense this technology, but no assurance
can be given that it will successfully do so.
Manufacturing
XOMA is currently producing its Neuprex(TM) and hu1124 products for
clinical trial and other testing needs at its Berkeley manufacturing facility,
pursuant to a drug manufacturing license obtained from the State of California.
The Company's manufacturing capability is based on recombinant DNA
technology, with production of therapeutic proteins from either mammalian or
microbial cells. XOMA has fermentation capacity for up to 5500 liters with
associated isolation and purification systems in place. The Company does its own
formulation for final sterile filling and finishing and has the capacity to do
its own small-scale filling.
Development and Marketing Arrangements
The Company has developed a strategy of entering into arrangements with
established pharmaceutical company partners in order to facilitate and finance
the development and marketing of its products. Assuming timely regulatory
approval, which cannot be assured, the successful commercialization of XOMA's
products will be dependent to a large extent upon the marketing capabilities of
any pharmaceutical partners.
5
<PAGE>
Neuprex(TM)
The Company is seeking one or more strategic alliances with respect to its
Neuprex(TM) product. Discussions have taken place with several entities
regarding such a product alliance. The Company cannot predict whether or when
any such alliance(s) will be consummated.
hu1124 (antiCD11a)
In April 1996, XOMA and Genentech entered into an agreement whereby XOMA
agreed to co-develop Genentech's humanized monoclonal antibody product,
originally called anti-CD11a. Under the terms of the agreement Genentech
purchased 1.5 million shares of XOMA common stock at $5.90/share and is funding
development through Phase II by making a series of convertible subordinated
loans. XOMA is manufacturing the product, now called hu1124, for clinical trial
use and managing clinical trials through Phase II. In April and December 1996
respectively, Genentech loaned $5.0 million and $8.5 million to fund 1996 and
1997 development costs. In December 1997, Genentech loaned an additional $10.0
million to fund 1998 development costs.
E5(R) Monoclonal Antibody Product
In 1987, XOMA and Pfizer entered into agreements relating to a potentially
wide range of monoclonal antibody-based products for the treatment of
gram-negative sepsis. Pfizer paid XOMA an initial license fee and made payments
based on development progress. In June 1997, the Company announced that Pfizer
had decided to end its development and marketing agreements with XOMA. See
"Regulatory Process".
Other
From time to time, the Company reviews development opportunities with other
biotechnology companies with a view toward providing process scale-up,
regulatory and/or clinical services to them.
Competition
The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are subject to continuous
and substantial technological change. Competition in the areas of recombinant
DNA-based and monoclonal antibody-based technologies is intense and expected to
increase as established biotechnology firms and large chemical and
pharmaceutical companies advance in the field. A number of these large
pharmaceutical and chemical companies have enhanced their capabilities by
entering into arrangements with or acquiring biotechnology companies or entering
into business combinations with other large pharmaceutical companies. Many of
these companies have significantly greater financial resources, larger research
and development and marketing staffs and larger production facilities than those
of XOMA. Moreover, certain of these companies have extensive experience in
undertaking preclinical testing and human clinical trials. These factors may
enable other companies to develop products and processes competitive with or
superior to those of the Company. In addition, a significant amount of research
in biotechnology is being carried out in universities and other non-profit
research organizations. These entities are becoming increasingly interested in
the commercial value of their work and may become more aggressive in seeking
patent protection and licensing arrangements. There can be no assurance that
developments by others will not render the Company's products or technologies
obsolete or uncompetitive.
The Company is aware of an agreement between Genentech and Incyte
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Incyte") pursuant to which Incyte claims to hold
worldwide rights to all Incyte and Genentech technology related to BPI. In
addition, it is possible that another company may be developing one or more
products based on BPI, and there can be no assurance that such product(s) will
not prove to be more effective than or receive regulatory approval prior to
Neuprex(TM).

<PAGE>
Regulatory Process
XOMA's products are subject to comprehensive preclinical and clinical
testing requirements and to approval processes by FDA and similar authorities in
other countries. The Company's products are primarily regulated on a
product-by-product basis under the U.S. Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and Section
351(a) of the Public Health Service Act. Most of the Company's human therapeutic
products are or will be classified as biologic products and would be subject to
regulation by CBER. Approval of a biologic for commercialization requires
licensure of the product and the manufacturing facilities.
The FDA regulatory process is carried out in several phases. Prior to
beginning clinical testing of a proposed new biologic product, an IND is filed
with FDA. This document contains scientific information on the proposed product,
including results of testing of the product in animal and in vitro or laboratory
models. Also included is information on manufacture of the product and studies
on toxicity in animals, and a clinical protocol outlining the initial
investigation in humans.
The initial stage of clinical testing, Phase I, ordinarily encompasses
safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic evaluations. Phase II testing
encompasses investigation in specific disease states designed to provide
preliminary efficacy data and additional information on safety. Phase III
studies are designed to further establish clinical safety and efficacy and to
provide information allowing proper labeling of the product following approval.
Phase III studies are most commonly multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled
trials in which rigorous statistical methodology is applied to clinical results.
Other designs may also be appropriate in specific circumstances.
Following completion of clinical trials, a BLA (Biologics License
Application) is submitted to FDA to request marketing approval. Internal FDA
committees are formed which evaluate the application, including scientific
background information, animal and in vitro or laboratory efficacy studies,
toxicology, manufacturing facility and clinical data. During the review process,
a dialogue between FDA and the applicant is established in which FDA questions
are raised and additional information is submitted. During the final stages of
the approval process, FDA generally requests presentation of clinical or other
data before an FDA advisory committee. Also, during the later stages of review,
FDA conducts an inspection of the manufacturing facility to establish that the
product is made in conformity with good manufacturing practice. If all
outstanding issues are satisfactorily resolved and labeling established, FDA
issues a license for the product and for the manufacturing facility, thereby
authorizing commercial distribution.
In December 1992, the Company filed an IND with FDA to begin Phase I human
testing of its Neuprex(TM) product and, in March 1993, began the testing.
Eighteen randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase I studies have been
completed and three Phase II efficacy studies were initiated in 1995. Two other
Phase II studies were initiated in 1996 and 1997.
In August 1996, the FDA granted XOMA a Subpart E designation for the
Neuprex(TM) product for severe pediatric meningococcemia. Subpart E designation
is intended to expedite the development, evaluation and marketing of new
therapies for life-threatening and debilitating illnesses. In October 1996, XOMA
started a Phase III pivotal clinical trial to test the drug for this indication
in multiple medical centers in the United States and Canada. In January 1997,
the trial was expanded to include sites in the United Kingdom. See "Product
Areas - Neuprex(TM)".
In November 1997, XOMA initiated a randomized, placebo-controlled,
double-blind Phase III pivotal trial to test Neuprex(TM) in patients suffering
severe hemorrhage caused by traumatic injury and a Phase I study in CF patients
who suffer recurring bacterial lung infections (exacerbations). See "Product
Areas - Neuprex(TM)".
7
<PAGE>
Other potential XOMA products will require significant additional
development, including extensive clinical testing. There can be no assurance
that any of the products under development by the Company will be developed
successfully, obtain the requisite regulatory approval or be successfully
manufactured or marketed.
XOMA's product for the treatment of gram-negative sepsis, E5(R), was a
murine monoclonal antibody that binds and assists the body to clear bacterial
endotoxins. XOMA completed two double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase III
studies of E5(R) involving nearly 1300 patients. In March 1989, XOMA filed a
Product License Application ("PLA") for FDA licensure of E5(R). In June 1992,
FDA informed XOMA that E5(R) was not approvable without further clinical
testing. In June 1993, a third Phase III clinical trial began with narrower
entry criteria than previous trials. In April 1997, XOMA and Pfizer decided to
discontinue this trial. In June 1997, the Company announced that Pfizer had
decided to end its marketing arrangement for E5(R).
FDA has substantial discretion in the product approval process and it is
not possible to predict at what point, or whether, FDA will be satisfied with
the Company's submissions or whether FDA will raise questions which may delay or
preclude product approval. As additional clinical data are accumulated, they
will be submitted to FDA and may have a material impact on the FDA product
approval process. Given that regulatory review is an interactive and continuous
process, the Company has adopted a policy of limiting announcements and comments
upon the specific details of the ongoing regulatory review of its products,
subject to its obligations under the securities laws, until definitive action is
taken.
Patents and Trade Secrets
As a result of its ongoing activities, the Company holds and is in the
process of applying for a number of patents in the United States and abroad to
protect its products and important processes. The Company also has obtained or
has the right to obtain exclusive licenses to certain patents and applications
filed by others. However, the patent position of biotechnology companies
generally is highly uncertain and no consistent policy regarding the breadth of
allowed claims has emerged from the actions of the Patent Office with respect to
biotechnology patents. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the Company's
patents will afford protection against competitors with similar technologies, or
that others will not obtain patents claiming aspects similar to those covered by
the Company's patent applications.
During the period from September 1994 to December 1997, the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office (the "Patent Office") issued twenty-one patents to the Company
related to its BPI-based products. These BPI-related patents include four
directed to novel compounds and compositions, one directed to manufacturing
methods, two directed to improved formulations and methods, three directed to
BPI and LBP assays and eleven directed to therapeutic uses of BPI protein
products, including uses of BPI in conjunction with antibiotics for the
treatment of gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial infections. U.S. Patent
No. 5,420,019 issued to the Company relates to novel recombinant amino terminal
fragments and fragment analogs of BPI and methods for their recombinant
production. The Company believes that this patent will provide comprehensive
protection for the manufacture, use and sale of its BPI-derived Neuprex(TM) and
I-PREX(TM) products in the U.S. The Company has received nine additional Notices
of Allowance from the Patent Office and has more than twenty patent applications
pending worldwide related to its BPI-based products.
In addition to the thirty BPI-related U.S. patents and Notices of Allowance
issued to the Company, the Company is the exclusive licensee of BPI-related
patents and applications owned by NYU. These include four issued U.S. patents
and one additional U.S. Notice of Allowance, directed to novel BPI-related
protein and DNA compositions, as well as their production and uses. U.S. Patent
No. 5,198,541 issued to NYU relates to the recombinant production of BPI. The
Company believes that this patent has substantial value because it covers
certain production methodologies that allow production of commercial-scale
quantities of BPI for human use. In addition, the European Patent Office granted
to NYU, EP 375724, with claims to N-terminal BPI fragments and their use, alone
or in conjunction with antibiotics, for the treatment of conditions associated
with bacterial infections.
8
<PAGE>
Between 1992 and 1996, the Patent Office issued six patents related to BPI
to Incyte. Four of these patents originate from one initially-filed application
and are directed to endotoxin-associated uses of BPI, one patent is directed to
BPI/lipid carrier compositions and one patent relates to uses of BPI with
polymannuronic acid. Based on the opinion of its U.S. patent counsel, Marshall,
O'Toole, Gerstein, Murray & Borun, the Company believes that it does not
infringe any valid claims of any of the Incyte patents. The Company is aware
that the European Patent Office granted to Cornell and Rockefeller Universities
EP 272489 related to certain neutrophil-derived antimicrobial proteins and the
Company believes that Incyte may control this patent. The Company is aware of an
agreement between Genentech and Incyte pursuant to which Incyte claims to hold
worldwide rights to all Incyte and Genentech technology related to BPI.
During the period from July 1991 to December 1997, the Patent Office issued
seven patents and one Notice of Allowance to the Company related to its
bacterial expression technology, including claims to novel promoter sequences,
secretion signal sequences, compositions and methods for expression and
secretion of recombinant proteins from bacteria, including immunoglobulin gene
products. U.S. Patent No. 5,028,530 issued to the Company is directed to
expression vehicles containing an AraB promoter, host cells and processes for
regulated expression of recombinant proteins. U.S. Patent No. 5,576,195 is
related to DNA encoding a pectate lyase signal sequence, recombinant vectors,
host cells and methods for production and externalization of recombinant
proteins. U.S. Patent Nos. 5,595,898, 5,698,435 and 5,618,920 address secretable
immunoglobulin chains, DNA encoding the chains and methods for their recombinant
production. U.S. Patent Nos. 5,693,493 and 5,698,417 relate to methods for
recombinant production/secretion of functional immunoglobulin fragments.
Numerous foreign patents have been granted which, along with additional pending
foreign patent applications, correspond to the patents issued and allowed in the
U.S.
If certain patents issued to others are upheld or if certain patent
applications filed by others issue and are upheld, the Company may require
certain licenses from others in order to develop and commercialize certain
potential products incorporating the Company's technology. There can be no
assurance that such licenses, if required, will be available on acceptable
terms.
Research and License Agreements
XOMA has contracted with a number of academic and institutional
collaborators to conduct certain research and development. Under these
agreements the Company generally funds either the research and development or
evaluation of products, technologies or both, will own or obtain an exclusive
license to products or technologies developed, and will pay royalties on sales
of products covered by the license. The rates and durations of such royalty
payments vary by product and institution, and range generally for periods from
five years to indefinite duration. Aggregate expenses of the Company under all
of its research agreements totaled $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.4 million
in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company has entered into certain
license agreements with respect to the following products:
Bactericidal/Permeability Increasing Protein (BPI)
In August 1990, XOMA entered into a research collaboration and license
agreement with NYU whereby XOMA obtained an exclusive license to patent rights
for DNA materials and genetic engineering methods for the production of BPI and
fragments thereof. BPI is part of the body's natural defenses against
gram-negative bacteria and XOMA is exploring the use of its Neuprex(TM) and
I-PREX(TM) products, based on BPI, for various indications. XOMA has obtained an
exclusive, worldwide license for the development, manufacture, sale and use of
BPI products for all therapeutic and diagnostic uses, and it has paid a license
fee and will make milestone payments and pay royalties to NYU on the sale of
such products. The license becomes fully-paid upon the later of the expiration
of the relevant patents or fifteen years after the first commercial sale,
subject to NYU's right to terminate for certain events of default.
9
<PAGE>
Recombinant Technology
XOMA has obtained licenses under certain Stanford University and University
of California patents relating to certain basic processes of recombinant DNA
technology. The Stanford agreement provides that the Company will pay an annual
fee and both agreements provide for royalties on sales of products should
processes used in making those product(s) come under the licensed patents.
E5(R) Monoclonal Antibody Product
In conjunction with the decision to discontinue the Phase III E5(R)
clinical trial and the termination of Pfizer's marketing agreement with XOMA,
the Company's license agreement with the Regents of the University of California
has been terminated.
Employees
As of December 31, 1997 XOMA employed 160 full-time employees at its
Berkeley and Santa Monica, California facilities. The Company's employees are
engaged in clinical, manufacturing, quality assurance and control, research and
product development activities, and in executive, finance and administrative
positions. The Company considers its employee relations to be excellent.
The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1981. The principal executive
offices of XOMA are located at 2910 Seventh Street, Berkeley, California 94710
(telephone 510-644-1170).

XOMA's principal product development and manufacturing facilities are
located in Berkeley, California. The Company leases 83,000 square feet of space
in Berkeley including approximately 35,000 square feet of research and
development laboratories, 32,000 square feet of production and production
support facilities and 16,000 square feet of office space. An additional 3,000
square feet of office space has been subleased to a third party. Separately, a
16,500 square foot production facility in Berkeley is owned by XOMA.
XOMA also maintains offices, laboratories and a manufacturing facility
occupying approximately 15,000 square feet in leased space in Santa Monica,
California. An additional 6,000 square foot leased facility for scale-up of the
Neuprex(TM) product was completed in May 1993. The Company also owns an
approximately 6,750 square foot parking lot in Santa Monica.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
In the securities class action lawsuit Warshaw, et al. v. XOMA Corporation,
et al., the defendants and plaintiffs reached an agreement on March 14, 1997 to
settle all claims for $3.75 million in cash and $2.25 million in XOMA common
stock. By order entered September 8, 1997, the United States District Court for
the Northern District of California approved the settlement. All of the cash
portion of the settlement has been paid by insurance into a settlement fund
administered by an escrow agent. The claims administration process was deemed
complete as of December 16, 1997, and on January 7, 1998, XOMA directed its
stock transfer agent to issue and distribute to authorized claimants 344,168
shares of XOMA common stock in accordance with the terms of the court-approved
settlement agreement.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Overview
XOMA is a biopharmaceutical company developing products to treat
infections, infectious complications of traumatic injury and surgery, and
immunologic and inflammatory disorders. The Company's primary focus is on
products derived from BPI. The first BPI-derived product, Neuprex(TM) is in
Phase III pivotal trials in two indications, and earlier stage clinical trials
in additional indications. Other BPI-derived products in preclinical testing
include I-PREX(TM) a topical ophthalmic product, and Mycoprex(TM), a peptide
product targeting systemic fungal infections.
XOMA is also developing the hu1124 humanized monoclonal antibody product
under a collaboration agreement with Genentech. The product is in Phase II
clinical testing for psoriasis. Other indications are under review. Genentech is
providing funding for development and clinical trials through a series of
long-term convertible loans.
The Company incurred a net loss in each of the past three years and is
expected to continue to operate at a loss until regulatory approval and
commencement of commercial sales of its products. The timing of product
approvals is uncertain, and there can be no assurance that approvals will be
granted or that revenues from product sales will be sufficient to attain
profitability.
Revenues
Total revenues were $18.4 million in 1997, compared with $3.6 million in
1996 and $1.2 million in 1995. Revenues for 1997 consisted of $17.0 million from
the assignment of anti-CD20 antibody patents and royalty rights to
Pharmaceutical Partners, LLC and $1.4 million for various licensing
transactions. Revenues for 1996 included $3.0 million for licensing of
intellectual property related to anti-CD20 antibodies to Genentech, and for 1995
included $0.8 million in partial consideration for the sale of the Company's T
cell receptor technology.
Costs and Expenses
In 1997, research and development expenses increased by $3.5 million, (13%)
versus 1996, following a $4.3 million (19%) increase from 1995 to 1996. These
increases reflect higher spending on clinical trials and preparing for
regulatory applications and inspections for Neuprex(TM) and the initiation of
development work and clinical trials for hu1124. The Company anticipates
research and development expenditures to continue at similar or higher levels
throughout 1998.
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million (4%) from
1996 to 1997, following an increase of $0.1 million (1%) from 1995 to 1996.
Annual investment income has essentially remained unchanged through the
period 1995 - 1997, as improved average cash balances each successive year have
been offset by lower prevailing interest rates. Other expense in 1997 included
interest on the convertible notes due to Genentech in 2005, which accrues
interest at six-months LIBOR plus 1%. Interest expense in 1996 included interest
on the Genentech note and also on the Company's 4% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures.
14
<PAGE>
Other Income (Expense)in 1996 included a provision of $2.5 million for
legal fees and settlement costs reflecting an agreement reached with plaintiff's
attorney in a class action law suit. An offsetting gain of $0.3 million was
realized in 1997 reflecting an adjustment to the value of the settlement. Other
Income in 1995 included a one-time gain of $1.9 million related to a
modification of the funding arrangement with Pfizer for the E5(R) clinical trial
and a write-down of property and equipment. Due to the termination of E5(R)
development, the contingent $22.4 million liability to Pfizer has been
eliminated.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased by $8.2 million
to $55.1 million at December 31, 1997. Financing activities of $21.7 million
included a $10.0 million advance from Genentech under a long-term credit
arrangement to fund 1998 development costs of hu1124, and $12.1 million net
proceeds from a private placement partially offset by principal payments under
capital lease obligations. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments are expected to continue to decrease while the Company pursues FDA
licensure, except to the extent the Company is able to secure additional
funding.
Net cash used in operating activities was $12.0 million in 1997, compared
with $22.4 million in 1996 and $24.7 million in 1995. The improvement in
operating cash flows in 1997 and 1996 is due primarily to cash from licensing
transactions, which there can be no assurance will continue. Capital
expenditures for 1997, 1996 and 1995 were $1.5 million, $1.1 million and $0.4
million, respectively. A second 2750-liter fermentor train was added to XOMA's
Berkeley facility in 1997 to provide additional capacity for Neuprex(TM) and
hu1124. The Company intends to continue to fund capital spending from internal
cash resources supplemented by capital financing where appropriate and
available.
The Company's cash position and resulting investment income are sufficient
to finance the Company's currently anticipated needs for operating expenses,
working capital, equipment and current research projects, for in excess of one
year. The Company continues to evaluate strategic alliances, potential
partnerships and financing arrangements which would further strengthen its
competitive position and provide additional funding. The Company cannot predict
whether or when any such alliance(s), partnership(s) or financing(s) will be
consummated or whether additional funding will be available when required.
Although operations are influenced by general economic conditions, the
Company does not believe that inflation had a material impact on financial
results for the periods presented. The Company believes that it is not dependent
on materials or other resources that would be significantly impacted by
inflation or changing economic conditions in the foreseeable future.
The Company is currently reviewing its computer systems in order to
evaluate necessary modifications for the year 2000. The Company does not
currently anticipate that it will incur material expenditures to complete any
such modifications. The Company can provide no assurance that there will be no
year 2000 impact through third parties, such as suppliers of raw materials for
manufacturing and clinical research organizations.

Item 9. Change in Accountants
On March 19, 1998, the Company appointed Ernst & Young, LLP ("Ernst &
Young") to serve as the Company's independent accountants for 1998, the
ratification of which appointment will be submitted to the stockholders at the
Company's 1998 annual meeting.
From fiscal 1983 through fiscal 1997, Arthur Andersen, LLP ("Arthur
Andersen") acted as the Company's independent accountants. Arthur Andersen was
dismissed on March 19, 1998. The decision to change accountants was approved by
the audit committee of the Board of Directors. The reports of Arthur Andersen on
the financial statements of the Company for the two most recent fiscal years did
not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the
Company's two most recent fiscal years and all subsequent interim periods
preceding such dismissal, there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved
to the satisfaction of Arthur Andersen, would have caused it to make a reference
to the subject matter of disagreements in connection with its reports; nor has
Arthur Andersen ever presented a written report, or otherwise communicated in
writing to the Company or Board of Directors or the audit committee thereof the
existence of any "disagreement" or "reportable event" within the meaning of Item
304 of Regulation S-K.
The Company has authorized Arthur Andersen to respond fully to the
inquiries of Ernst & Young. The letter from Arthur Andersen addressed to the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as required by Item 304 (a) (3)
of Regulation S-K, will be filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form
10-K by amendment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To XOMA Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of XOMA Corporation (a
Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of XOMA Corporation as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

XOMA CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business
XOMA Corporation ("XOMA" or the "Company") is a biopharmaceutical company
developing products to treat infections, infectious complications of traumatic
injury and surgery, and immunologic and inflammatory disorders. The Company's
products are presently in various stages of development and all are subject to
regulatory approval before the Company can commercially introduce any products.
There can be no assurance that any of the products under development by the
Company will be developed successfully, obtain the requisite regulatory approval
or be successfully manufactured or marketed.
The Company's cash position and resulting investment income are sufficient
to finance the Company's currently anticipated needs for operating expenses,
working capital, equipment and current research projects for in excess of one
year. The Company continues to evaluate strategic alliances, potential
partnerships, and financing arrangements which would further strengthen its
competitive position and provide additional funding. The Company cannot predict
whether or when any such alliance(s), partnership(s) or financing(s) will be
consummated or whether additional funding will be available when required.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 128.
26
<PAGE>
Reconciliation of the numerator and the denominator of basic and diluted
net loss per share was derived as follows (in thousands, except per share
amounts):

</TABLE>
Subsequent to December 31, 1997 the Company issued 344,168 shares of common
stock in settlement of a securities class action lawsuit(see Note 6).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less at the
time the Company acquires them to be cash equivalents, except when such debt
instruments are part of a portfolio of investments managed by an independent,
outside investment manager, in which case these instruments are classified as
short-term investments.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information
Cash paid for interest was $0.1 million, $0.2 million, and $0.1 million
during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.
In addition, during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the
Company had the following non-cash financing and investing activities (in

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, including equipment under capital leases, are
stated at cost. Equipment depreciation is calculated using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (five to seven years).
Leasehold improvements, buildings, and building improvements are amortized and
depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease terms
or the useful lives (one to seven years).
Property and equipment consist of the following (in thousands):

in a charge to Other income and expense of $2.4 million. The amount the Company
will ultimately realize could differ materially from the amount assumed in
arriving at the realizable value.

Activities through December 31, 1997 affecting the provision for litigation
settlement established in 1996 are as follows (in millions):
Original amount $2.5
Charges against the accrual 0.2
Adjustment to the accrual 0.3
In December 1997, the Company elected to settle the claim through the
issuance of 344,168 shares of common stock which resulted in a $0.3 million
reduction in the accrual. The liability was eliminated in January 1998 upon
issuance of the shares.
Research and Development Fees
Research and development fees are recognized as revenues as research
activities are performed or as development milestones are completed under the
terms of research and development agreements. The excess of total research and
development expense over revenues recognized under collaborative agreements
amounted to $29.9 million, $26.4 million, and $22.1 million for the years 1997,
1996, and 1995, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior years to the
1997 presentation.
New Accounting Standards
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a final
statement on reporting comprehensive income. The adoption of the standard as
required on January 1, 1998 will not have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements.
2. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
On December 31, 1997 and 1996, cash and cash equivalents consisted mostly
of money market mutual funds.
The Company follows a policy of investing only in marketable debt
securities and holding them to maturity; however, since the Company has from
time to time sold certain securities to meet cash requirements or improve
investment diversification, the Company's short-term investments have been
categorized as available-for-sale.
29
<PAGE>
The aggregate fair values, amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gain,
and gross unrealized holding loss of the major types of debt securities at
December 31, 1997 were as follows (in millions):

The contractual maturities of the Company's debt securities as of December
31, 1997 were as follows (in millions):
Less than 1 year $11.4
From 1 to 2 years 4.0
More than 2 years 2.5
During the year ended December 31, 1997, gross realized losses on
available-for-sale securities were negligible and the net change in the
unrealized gain or loss was negligible. Gross realized gains were negligible.
Gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis. As of
December 31, 1997, short-term investments included $0.1 million in certificates
of deposit which guaranteed a standby letter of credit.
3. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS
In April 1996, the Company entered into a collaborative agreement with
Genentech, Inc. ("Genentech") to jointly develop hull24 (anti-CD11a), for
treatment of psoriasis and for organ transplant rejection. In connection
therewith, Genentech purchased 1.5 million shares of common stock for
approximately $9 million and has agreed to fund the Company's development costs
for hull24 until the completion of Phase II clinical trials through a series of
convertible subordinated notes. During 1996, Genentech made loans totaling $13.5
million ($5.0 and $8.5 million, respectively, for funding 1996 and 1997 clinical
trials and development costs) to XOMA under this arrangement. An additional loan
of $10.0 million was made in December 1997 to fund 1998 costs. Under the terms
of the agreement, the Company will scale up and develop hull24 and bring it
through Phase II clinical trials. After completion of Phase II trials, Genentech
will determine the product's future development strategy.
In May 1996, the Company announced the granting of an exclusive license to
Genentech, including a sublicense to IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation, to
intellectual property covering the therapeutic use of chimeric IgG1 antibodies
specific to the CD20 antigen on the surface of human B-cells. The Company
received an initial cash payment of $3.0 million and the right to receive
royalties on the sale of products employing the anti-CD20 technology that are
sold in the United States and in other countries where the Company held relevant
patents. In December 1997, the Company assigned the related patents and royalty
rights to Pharmaceutical Partners, LLC for $17.0 million and recognized this
amount as license fee revenue.
In June 1994, the Company assigned its exclusive worldwide rights in T cell
receptor ("TCR") peptide technology to Connetics. The Company received a
promissory note in the amount of $1.4 million and warrants to purchase 450,000
shares of Connetics. stock, and will receive milestone payments and royalties on
product sales. In 1995, the Company received an additional note in the amount of
$0.8 million pursuant to the terms of the original assignment. The notes were
paid in full in February 1996 and the warrants cancelled.
In 1995, XOMA and Pfizer modified the funding arrangement of the then
current E5(R) clinical trial and of certain patent litigation costs. As a
result, the Company recorded a $4.3 million gain in Other income.
30
<PAGE>
In June 1997, the Company announced that Pfizer had ended its agreements with
the Company relating to monoclonal antibody-based products for the treatment of
gram-negative sepsis, which resulted in the elimination of the contingent $22.4
million liability to Pfizer.
XOMA has granted licenses to a number of biotechnology and pharmaceutical
companies for use of patented and proprietary technologies relating to a
bacterial expression system used to manufacture recombinant pharmaceutical
products. Licensees include: Affymax Research Institute, Cantab Pharmaceuticals
Research Ltd, Eli Lilly and Company, Enzon, Inc., the Hoechst Group, ICOS
Corporation, Pasteur Merieux Serums & Vaccins, and The Pharmacia & Upjohn Group.
4. CAPITAL STOCK
Common Stock
In April 1996, Genentech purchased 1.5 million shares of common stock for
approximately $5.90 per share in connection with the collaborative agreement to
develop jointly Genentech's anti-CD11a monoclonal antibody product, hull24.
In March 1996, the Company completed a private placement exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Regulation D
thereunder, issuing 606,061 shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of $1.9
million.
In June and July 1995, the Company issued 470,859 shares of Common Stock in
reliance on Regulation S for net proceeds of $0.7 million.
Preferred Stock
In August 1997, the Company completed a private placement exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Section 4(2)
thereof, issuing 1,250 shares in the form of 5% Convertible Preferred Stock,
Series G ("Series G Preferred") for proceeds of approximately $12.1 million net
of cash issuance costs. The same investors have also committed to provide
additional financing of up to $12.5 million at XOMA's option, subject to certain
conditions.
Conversions of Series G Preferred will be based on the price of Common
Stock at the time of conversion. There is no initial discount on the conversion
price, but a discount of 2% will be added for each month the Series G Preferred
is held, up to a maximum discount of 14%, for which an additional $1.3 million
has been added to dividends and charged to Paid-in capital as of December 31,
1997. No conversions were permitted below a price of $7.80 for the first 60
days. The maximum conversion price for the first six months was $9.10. There are
certain restrictions on the volume of sales of underlying Common Stock by the
investors. The investors also received three-year warrants to purchase up to a
total of 432,000 common shares at a price of $10.00 per share. The additional
funding commitment also provides for limits on conversion price and trading, and
additional warrants, all based on the market price of Common Stock at the time
such funding is provided. Additional warrants to purchase 54,000 common shares
at the $10.00 price were issued to the placement agents.
In September 1996, the Company completed a private placement exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Regulation D
thereunder, issuing 1,600 shares of its Convertible Preferred Stock, Series F
("Series F Preferred") for proceeds of approximately $15.0 million net of
issuance costs. As of December 31, 1996, all of the Series F Preferred, plus

September 30, 1996, all of the Series D Preferred, plus accrued dividends, had
been converted into 1,048,610 shares of Common Stock.
In August 1995, the Company issued 4,799 shares of its Convertible
Preferred Stock, Series C ("Series C Preferred") to foreign investors in an
offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance
on Regulation S thereunder. The offering yielded proceeds to the Company of $4.1
million net of issuance costs. As of December 31, 1995, all of the Series C
Preferred, plus accrued dividends, had been converted into 2,728,190 shares of
Common Stock.
In December 1993, the Company issued 18,775 shares of Senior Convertible
Preferred Stock, Series B ("Series B Preferred") to two investors for proceeds
of $17.7 million net of issuance costs. Costs of the issue were approximately
$1.1 million. An additional 250 shares of Series B Preferred were issued to the
placement agent as part of the fee for investment banking services.
In May 1994, the placement agent converted all 250 of its shares of
preferred stock into 47,595 shares of Common Stock. The amounts payable as
dividends at December 31, 1994 were paid with 252,745 shares of common stock in
January of 1995. During 1995, 7,808 shares of the Series B Preferred had been
converted into 1,501,731 shares of Common Stock. The remaining 7,807 shares were
converted into 1,648,115 shares of Common Stock in 1996 prior to the June 1996
dividend date.
The Company has authorized 650,000 shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred
Stock of which none were outstanding at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. (See
"Stockholder Rights Plan", below.)
Convertible Notes and Debentures
Under the arrangement with Genentech (see Note 3) the Company receives
funding for development of hull24 in the form of convertible subordinated notes
due 2005 at interest rates of LIBOR plus 1% compounded and reset at the end of
June and December each year. Interest is payable at maturity. The Company has
received $5.0 million and $8.5 million of these loans, respectively, in April
and December of 1996, and a further $10.0 million in December 1997. The notes
are convertible into one share of Series E Preferred Stock (7,500 shares are so
designated) for each $10,000 in notes. The Series E Preferred Stock is
convertible into common stock. The cumulative amount of interest accrued was
$1.2 million and $0.3 million as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
In November 1995, the Company issued $6.5 million aggregate principal
amount of 4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due in 1998 to foreign
investors in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of
1933 in reliance on Regulation S thereunder. The offering yielded net proceeds
to the Company of $5.9 million net of issuance costs. During the first quarter
of 1996 all of the Debentures, plus accrued interest, were converted into
2,054,224 shares of Common Stock. Unamortized issuance costs of $0.6 million
were charged to Paid-in capital in connection with the conversions of the
Debentures.
Management Incentive Compensation Plan
The Board of Directors of the Company established a Management Incentive
Compensation Plan effective July 1, 1993 (as amended, the "Incentive Plan"), in
which management employees (other than the Chief Executive Officer), as well as
certain additional discretionary participants chosen by the Chief Executive
Officer, are eligible to participate.
32
<PAGE>
Awards under the Incentive Plan vest over a three-year period with 50% of
each award payable on a date to be determined, expected to be in the first
quarter of the following fiscal year, and 25% payable on each of the next two
annual distribution dates, so long as the participant continues to participate
in the Incentive Plan.
The amounts charged to expense under the Incentive Plan were $0.8 million,
$0.7 million and $0.6 million for the plan years 1997, 1996 and 1995
respectively.
Stockholder Rights Plan
In October 1993, the Company's Board of Directors unanimously adopted a
Stockholder Rights Plan (the "Rights Plan"). Under the Rights Plan, Preferred
Stock Purchase Rights ("Rights") were distributed as a dividend at the rate of
one Right for each share of the Company's Common Stock held of record as of the
close of business on November 12, 1993. Each Right entitles the registered
holder of Common Stock to buy a fraction of a share of the new series of
Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") at an exercise price of $30.00,
subject to adjustment. The Rights will be exercisable, and will detach from the
Common Stock, only if a person or group acquires 20 percent or more of the
Common Stock, announces a tender or exchange offer that if consummated will
result in a person or group beneficially owning 20 percent or more of the Common
Stock, or if the Board of Directors declares a person or group owning 10 percent
or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock to be an Adverse Person (as
defined in the Rights Plan). Once exercisable, each Right will entitle the
holder (other than the acquiring person) to purchase units of Series A Preferred
Stock (or, in certain circumstances, common stock of the acquiring person) with
a value of twice the Rights exercise price. The Company will generally be
entitled to redeem the Rights at $.001 per Right at any time until the close of
business on the tenth day after the Rights become exercisable. The Rights will
expire at the close of business on December 31, 2002.
5. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
At December 31, 1997, the Company had three stock-based compensation plans,
which are described below. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that
may be issued under these plans is 5,300,000 shares.
Stock Option Plan
Under the Company's amended 1981 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan"),
qualified and non-qualified options of the Company's Common Stock may be granted
to certain employees and other individuals as determined by the Board of
Directors at not less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of
grant. Options granted under the Option Plan may be exercised when vested and
expire five years and two months to ten years from the date of grant or three
months from the date of termination of employment. Options granted generally
vest over five years. The Option Plan will terminate on November 15, 2001. As of
December 31, 1997, options covering 3,132,386 shares of Common Stock were
outstanding under the Option Plan.
Restricted Stock Plan
The Company also has a Restricted Stock Plan (the "Restricted Plan") which
provides for the issuance of options or the direct sale of Common Stock to
certain employees and other individuals as determined by the Board of Directors
at not less than 85% of fair market value of the Common Stock on the grant date.
Each option issued under the Restricted Plan will be a non-statutory option
under the federal tax laws and will have a term not in excess of ten years from
the grant date. Options granted generally vest over five years. The Restricted
Plan will terminate on December 15, 2003.
33
<PAGE>
The Company has granted options with exercise prices at 85% of fair market
value on the date of grant. Up to 1,200,000 shares are authorized for issuance
under the Restricted Plan. As of December 31, 1997, options covering 537,479
shares of Common Stock were outstanding under the Restricted Plan.
The Company amortizes deferred compensation, which is the difference
between the issuance price or exercise price and the fair market value of the
shares as determined by the Board of Directors at the date of sale or grant over
the period benefited.
Directors Stock Option Plan
In 1992, the stockholders approved a Directors Stock Option Plan (the
"Directors Plan") which provides for the issuance of options to purchase shares
of Common Stock to non-employee directors of the Company at 100% of the fair
market value of the stock on the date of the grant. Up to 150,000 shares are
authorized for issuance during the term of the Directors Plan. Options vest on
the date of grant and have a term of up to ten years. As of December 31, 1997,
options for 50,000 shares of Common Stock were outstanding under the Directors
Plan.
The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its plans. Accordingly, the financial statements reflect
amortization of compensation resulting from options granted at exercise prices
which were below market price at the grant date. Had compensation cost for the
Company's stock-based compensation plans been based on the fair value at the
grant dates for awards under these plans consistent with the provisions of FASB
Statement 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share would have been
increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the years ended December
31 (in thousands except per share amounts):

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Clinical Trial
Due to the termination of E5(R) development in mid-1997, the contingent
$22.4 million in future reduced royalties from Pfizer has been eliminated.
Collaborative Agreements and Royalties
As of December 31, 1997, the Company has commitments under research
agreements with universities and other research institutions that require the
Company to fund research in the amount of $0.1 million through August 1998.
Research and development expenses include research agreement expenses of
approximately $0.2 million, $0.3 million, and $0.4 million for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company is also obligated to
pay royalties, ranging generally from 1.5% to 5% of the selling price of the
licensed component and up to 25% of sublicense fee income, to various
universities and other research institutions based on future sales or licensing
of products that incorporate certain products and technologies developed by
those institutions.
Leases
As of December 31, 1997, the Company leased administrative, research
facilities, certain laboratory and office equipment under operating and capital
leases expiring on various dates through 2008.

Total rental expense was approximately $2.0 million, $2.0 million, and $2.3

Legal Proceedings
In the securities class action lawsuit Warshaw, et al. v. XOMA Corporation,
et al., the defendants and plaintiffs reached an agreement on March 14, 1997 to
settle all claims for $3.75 million in cash and $2.25 million in Common Stock.
By order entered September 8, 1997, the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California approved the settlement. All of the cash portion
of the settlement has been paid by insurance into a settlement fund administered
by an escrow agent. The claims administration process was deemed complete as of
December 16, 1997, and on January 7, 1998, XOMA directed its stock transfer
agent to issue and distribute to authorized claimants 344,168 shares of Common
Stock in accordance with the terms of the court-approved settlement agreement.
Liability Insurance
The testing and marketing of medical and food additive products entails an
inherent risk of allegations of product liability. XOMA believes that its
product liability insurance levels are adequate for its clinical trial activity.
XOMA will seek to obtain additional insurance, if needed, if and when the
Company's products are commercialized; however, there can be no assurance that
adequate insurance coverage will be available or be available at acceptable
costs or that a product liability claim would not materially adversely affect
the business or financial condition of the Company.
The Company insures and indemnifies its directors and officers against
actions brought against them as a result of their management of the Company's
operations. There can be no assurance that adequate directors and officers
insurance coverage will be available or be available at acceptable costs or that
a claim against the directors and officers would not materially adversely affect
the business or financial condition of the Company.

The net change in the valuation allowance was a $8.2 million and a $13.1
million increase for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

State
NOLs 26.5 1998-2003
Credits 3.8 2005-2013
For the year ended December 31, 1997 the Company had taxable income of
$12.5 million and $11.1 million for Federal income tax and State tax,
respectively. Except for the impact of Federal alternative minimum tax, which
was not material, these taxable income amounts were offset by NOL and tax credit
carryforwards. These amounts are subject to audit by federal and state tax
authorities and could change.
Certain future changes in the ownership of significant shareholders could
limit utilization of the Company's tax NOLs and credits.
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In 1993, the Company granted a short-term, secured loan to an officer,
director and stockholder of the Company.
9. DEFERRED SAVINGS PLAN
Under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Board of
Directors adopted, effective June 1, 1987, a tax-qualified deferred compensation
plan for employees of the Company. Participants may make contributions which
defer up to 14% of their total salary, up to a maximum for 1997 of $9,500. The
Company may, at its sole discretion, make contributions each plan year, in cash
or in shares of the Company's Common Stock in amounts which match up to 50% of
the salary deferred by the participants. The expense of these contributions was
$233,000, $243,000, and $326,000, for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996

Stock Certificate (or such other notice which is acceptable to the Corporation)

such shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by the Series B Preferred
Stock Certificate so surrendered or the portion thereof specified in said

Series B Preferred Stock Certificate surrendered for conversion shall, unless
the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the

or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Corporation duly executed by, the Holder or his duly authorized attorney.
As promptly as practicable after the surrender of such Series B Preferred
Stock Certificate and the receipt of such notice and funds, if any, as

for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such
shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by the Series B Preferred Stock
Certificate so surrendered or portion thereof in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 6. In case less than all of the shares of Series B Preferred
Stock represented by a Series B Preferred Stock Certificate surrendered for
conversion are to be converted, the Corporation shall deliver to or upon the
written order of the Holder of such Series B Preferred Stock Certificate a new
Series B Preferred Stock Certificate representing the shares of Series B
Preferred Stock not converted. If a Holder fails to notify the Corporation of
the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock which such Holder wishes to
convert, such Holder shall be deemed to have elected to convert all shares
represented by the certificate or certificates surrendered for conversion.
Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date on which
such Series B Preferred Stock Certificate shall have been surrendered and such
notice shall have been received by the Corporation, as aforesaid, and the person
in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall
be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become on said date the
holder of record of the shares represented thereby; provided, however, that any
such surrender on any date when the stock books of the Corporation shall be
closed shall constitute the person in whose name the certificates are to be

Conversion Price as last adjusted and in effect on the date upon which such
Series B Preferred Stock Certificate shall have been surrendered.
The dividends due on any Series B Preferred Stock surrendered for
conversion during the period from the close of business on a Dividend Record
Date to the opening of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date shall
be paid to the
<PAGE>
-8-
Holder of Series B Preferred Stock, notwithstanding such conversion.
In the event any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be called for
redemption, the right to convert such shares of Series B Preferred Stock into
shares of Common Stock shall terminate at the close of business on the
Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
paragraph (B), the Corporation may, at its option, be deemed to have purchased
any shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are called for redemption and not
surrendered for conversion prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date
at a purchase price equal to the price that would have been paid had such shares
been redeemed (including accrued and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for such
redemption) and immediately sell such shares to any registered broker-dealer who
has agreed to purchase such shares at a price at least equal to the price paid
by the Corporation for such shares and to convert such shares into shares of
Common Stock.
(C) Except as provided in subparagraph (ix) hereof and in paragraph (D)
below, if and whenever the Corporation shall issue or sell or is deemed, in
accordance with subparagraphs (i) through (xi) hereof, to have issued or sold
any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the
Conversion Price of the Common Stock as of the time of issuance then, forthwith
upon such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale, the Conversion Price
shall be reduced to the price determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the
sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such issuance or sale (including as outstanding all shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock)
multiplied by the then existing Conversion Price, and (b) the consideration, if
any, received by the Corporation upon such issuance or sale, by (ii) the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or
sale (including as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock).
For purposes of this paragraph (C), the following subparagraphs (i) to (xi)
inclusive shall be applicable:
(i) In case at any time the Corporation shall in any manner grant
(whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any rights to
subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the
<PAGE>
-9-
purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock (such rights or options being herein called
"Options" and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being
herein called "Convertible Securities") whether or not such Options, or the
right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are
immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange
of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (x) the total
amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration
for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of
all such options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the
issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or
exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of such options or upon the conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of
such Options) shall be less than the Conversion Price as in effect
immediately prior to the time of granting of such options, then the total
maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such
options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such
Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be
deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of
granting of such Options and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding.
Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (iii), no adjustment of the
Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock
or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the
actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. In case the Corporation shall
in any manner issue (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or
otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to
exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the
<PAGE>
-10-
price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or
exchange (determined by dividing (x) the total amount received or
receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue or sale of
such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the
conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange or all such
Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Conversion Price as in
effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total
maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been
issued for such price per share as of the date of the issue or sale of such
Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding,
provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (iii) below,
no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issue
of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities and (b) if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities
is made upon exercise of any Option to purchase any such Convertible
Securities for which adjustments of such Conversion Price have been or are
to be made pursuant to other provisions of this paragraph (C), no further
adjustment of such Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue
or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Upon the happening of
any of the following events, namely, if the purchase price provided for in
any Option referred to in subparagraph (i), the additional consideration,
if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible
Securities referred to in subparagraph (i) or (ii), or the rate at which
any Convertible Securities referred to in subparagraph (i) or (ii) are
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time
(other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against
dilution), the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such event shall
forthwith be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in
effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still
outstanding provided for such changed purchase price,
<PAGE>
-11-
additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the
time initially granted, issued or sold; and on the expiration of any such
Option or termination of any such right to convert or exchange such
Convertible Securities, the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall
forthwith be increased to the Conversion Price that would have been in
effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or
Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such
expiration or termination, never been issued, and the Common Stock issuable
thereunder shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding.
(iv) Stock Dividends. In case the Corporation shall declare a dividend
or make any other distribution upon any stock of the Corporation payable in
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, any Common Stock, Options
or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such
dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold
without consideration.
(v) Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the
consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received
by the Corporation therefor, without deduction therefrom of any expenses
incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by
the Corporation in connection therewith. In case any shares of Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a
consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than
cash received by the Corporation shall be deemed to be the fair value of
such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors,
without deduction of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions
or concessions paid or allowed by the Corporation in connection therewith.
In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue and sale
of other securities of the Company, together compromising one integral
transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options
by the parties thereto, the consideration deemed to have been received by
the Corporation shall be determined by the Board of Directors in good
faith.
<PAGE>
-12-
(vi) Record Date. In case the Corporation shall take a record of the
holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to
receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options
or Convertible Securities, or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be
deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock
deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or
the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such
right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(vii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or
for the account of the Corporation, and the disposition of any such shares
shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of
this paragraph (C).
(viii) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. In case the
Corporation shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and
conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased.
(ix) Certain Issues of Common Stock Excepted. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not be required to make any
adjustment of the Conversion Price in the case of (i) the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon conversion or redemption of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) the issuance of
shares of Common Stock in payment of dividends upon the Series B Preferred
Stock in accordance with the terms thereof, (iii) the issuance of up to
three (3) million shares of Common Stock (or the issuance of options
therefor) reserved for issuance to employees of the Corporation pursuant to
any employee benefit or compensation plan or arrangement which amount
includes 872,075 shares of
<PAGE>
-13-
Common Stock which are currently issuable under existing stock option
plans, (iv) the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of
warrants granted by the Corporation to Ortelius and GDK, (v) the issuance
of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants pursuant to the
Warrant Agreement dated as of June 3, 1993 between the Corporation and
First Interstate Bank of California, as Warrant Agent or (vi) the issuance
of shares of Common Stock in connection with preferred stock purchase
rights relating to the Corporation's Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock,
par value $.05 per share.
(x) Reorganization or Reclassification. If any capital reorganization
or reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be
effected in such a way (including, without limitation, by way of
consolidation or merger or a sale of all or substantially all its assets)
that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities
or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a
condition of such reorganization or reclassification, lawful and adequate
provisions (in form satisfactory to Holders of at least a majority of the
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock) shall be made whereby each
Holder of a share or shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter
have the right to receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions
specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation immediately theretofore receivable upon the conversion of such
share or shares of Series B Preferred Stock, such shares of stock,
securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in
exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to
the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore so receivable
had such reorganization or reclassification not taken place, and in any
such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights
and interests of such Holder to the end that the provisions hereof
(including without limitation provisions for adjustment of the Conversion
Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to
any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the
exercise of such conversion rights. In the event of a merger or
consolidation of the Corporation as a result of
<PAGE>
-14-
which a greater or lesser number of shares of common stock of the surviving
corporation are issuable to holders of Common Stock of the Corporation
outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation shall be adjusted in the same manner as though there were a
subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation.
(xi) Partial or Liquidating Distributions. In the event that the
Corporation shall make any distribution of its assets upon or with respect
to the Common Stock, as a liquidating or partial liquidating dividend, or
other than as a dividend payable out of earnings, the Holder of each
outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall, upon the exercise of
his or her right to convert after the record date for such distribution or,
in the absence of a record date, after the date of such distribution,
receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock for which such
shares of Series B Preferred Stock are then convertible, the amount of such
assets (or, at the option of the Corporation, a sum equal to the value
thereof at the time of distribution as determined by the Board of Directors
in its sole discretion) that would have been distributed to such Holder if
he had exercised his right to convert immediately prior to the record date
for such distribution or, in the absence of a record date, immediately
prior to the date of such distribution.
(D) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, (i) no
adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock into which any share of
Series B Preferred Stock is convertible shall be required unless such adjustment
would require an increase or decrease in such number of shares of at least 1%
and (ii) no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease in the Conversion Price of at
least $.01 per share; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of
this paragraph (D) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and
taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this
Section 6 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share,
as the case may be.
<PAGE>
-15-
(E) Whenever any adjustment is required in the shares into which any share
of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, the Corporation shall forthwith (i)
file with each office or agency then maintained by the Corporation for the
transfer of the Series B Preferred Stock a statement describing in reasonable
detail the adjustment and the method of calculation used and (ii) cause a notice
of such adjustment, setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price to be mailed to
the Holders of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock at their respective
addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation.
(F) All shares of Series B Preferred Stock that shall have been surrendered
for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding
and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to
receive notices and to vote, shall forthwith cease, except only the right of the
Holders thereof, subject to the provisions of this Section 6, to receive shares
of Common Stock in exchange therefor.
(G) In the event that:
(i) the Corporation shall take action to make any distribution (other
than cash dividends payable out of earnings) to the holders of its Common
Stock;
(ii) the Corporation shall take action to offer for subscription pro
rata to the holders of its Common Stock any securities of any kind;
(iii) the Corporation shall take action to accomplish any capital
reorganization, or reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation
(other than a subdivision, split or combination of its Common Stock), or a
consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which
approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or the sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or
(iv) the Corporation shall take action looking to a voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation;
then the Corporation shall (A) in case of any such distribution or subscription
rights, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date or expected date on which
the stock books of the Corpora-
<PAGE>
-16-
tion shall close or a record shall be taken for the determination of holders
entitled to such distribution or subscription rights, and (B) in the case of any
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, at least thirty day's (30) prior to the
date or expected date when the same shall take place, cause written notice
thereof to be mailed to each Holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock at his
address as shown on the stock books of the Corporation. Such notice in
accordance with the foregoing clause (A) shall also specify, in the case of any
such distribution or subscription rights, the date or expected date on which the
holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, and such notice in accordance
with the foregoing clause (B) shall also specify the date or expected date on
which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common
Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be.
(H) For the purposes of this paragraph (6), the term "Common Stock" shall
mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Corporation on
the date of this Certificate or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from
successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely
of changes in par value or from no par value to par value, or from par value to
no par value. In the event that at any time as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (C) of this Section 6, the Holder of any
share of Series B Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall
become entitled to receive any shares of the Corporation other than shares of
Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon
conversion of any share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in
paragraph (C) of this Section 6, and the other provisions of this Section 6 with
respect to the Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares.
(I) The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractional shares of
Common Stock upon the conversion of any Series B Preferred Stock. If more than
one share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one
time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof shall be com-
<PAGE>
-17-
puted on the basis of the aggregate number of shares so surrendered. If any
fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon the
conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation may pay,
in lieu thereof, in cash the Quoted Price thereof as of the Business Day
immediately preceding the date of such conversion.
(J) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, free
from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued stock, for the
purpose of effecting the conversion or redemption of the shares of Series B
Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock (or
treasury shares as provided below) as shall from time to time be sufficient to
effect the payment of dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock in shares of
Common Stock, the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred
Stock into Common Stock at any time and the redemption of all outstanding shares
of Series B Preferred Stock for shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that
nothing contained herein shall preclude the Corporation from satisfying its
obligations in respect of the payment of dividends in shares of Common Stock or
the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock by delivery of shares of Common
Stock that are held in the treasury of the Corporation. The Corporation shall,
from time to time and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, cause the authorized number of shares of Common Stock to be
increased if the aggregate of the number of authorized shares of Common Stock
remaining unissued and the issued shares of such Common Stock in its treasury
(other than any shares of such Common Stock reserved for issuance in any other
connection) shall not be sufficient to permit the payment of dividends in shares
of Common Stock, the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred
Stock into Common Stock or the redemption of all outstanding shares of Series B
Preferred Stock for shares of Common Stock.
7. Optional Redemption.
(A) The Corporation's Right To Redeem the Series B Preferred Stock. The
Series B Preferred Stock may be redeemed (subject to contractual and other
restrictions with respect thereto and the legal availability of funds therefor)
at the option of the Corporation in whole or, from time to time, in part
(provided that no less than 25% of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then
outstanding may be redeemed at any one time) in the manner provided in Section
<PAGE>
-18-
7(C) hereof (i) at any time after December 31, 1996 or (ii) on or prior to
December 31, 1996 if the Quoted Price of the Common Stock is at least 175% of
the Conversion Price (as last adjusted and in effect) for at least ten (10)
trading days selected by the Corporation within a period of any twenty (20)
consecutive trading days.
(B) Consideration for Shares of Series B Preferred Stock To Be Redeemed.
(i) If on the date prior to the determination of the Board of
Directors to redeem Series B Preferred Stock, the Quoted Price of the
Common Stock is equal to or greater than 105% of the Conversion Price (as
last adjusted and in effect on such date) then the Series B Preferred Stock
to be redeemed may be redeemed, at the option of the Corporation, for any
combination of (x) shares of Common Stock, each share of Series B Preferred
Stock to be redeemed for such number of fully, paid and non-assessable
shares (as calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) as is obtained by
dividing 1000 by the Conversion Price (as last adjusted and in effect on
such date) and (y) the Cash Redemption Price.
(ii) If on the date prior to the determination of the Board of
Directors to redeem Series B Preferred Stock, the Quoted Price of the
Common Stock is less than 105% of the Conversion Price (as last adjusted
and in effect on such date) then the Series B Preferred Stock to be
redeemed shall be redeemed for the Cash Redemption Price.
(iii) In addition to (i) or (ii) above, the Corporation shall pay to
each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed all
accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such shares of Series B Preferred
Stock to the Redemption Date payable in cash or shares of Common Stock or a
combination thereof as determined in accordance with Section 3(B).
(iv) The aggregate amount of cash or shares of Common Stock or
combination of cash and shares of Common Stock to be received by Holders of
Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii)
above are referred to herein as the "Redemption Consideration".
<PAGE>
-19-
(C) Procedure for Redemption.
(i) In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Series B
Preferred Stock, the shares so redeemed will be determined by the
Corporation pro rata according to the number of shares held by each Holder,
except that the Corporation may redeem all of the shares held by any
Holders of fewer than 100 shares (or all of the shares held by Holders who
would hold less than 100 shares as a result of such redemption).
(ii) The Corporation shall send a written notice of redemption (the
"Redemption Notice") by first-class mail, postage prepaid, not fewer than
fifteen (15) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption
Date to each Holder as of the record date fixed for such redemption of
Series B Preferred Stock at such Holder's address as the same appears on
the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that no failure to
give such notice to any Holder or Holders nor any deficiency therein shall
affect the validity of the procedure for the redemption of any shares of
Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed except as to the Holder or Holders
to whom the Corporation has failed to give said notice or except as to the
Holder or Holders whose notice was defective. The Redemption Notice shall
state:
(A) whether all or less than all the outstanding shares of Series
B Preferred Stock are to be redeemed and the total number of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock being redeemed;
(B) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held of
record by that specific Holder that the Corporation intends to redeem;
(C) the Redemption Date;
(D) the Redemption Consideration;
(E) the manner and place or places at which payment for the
shares called for redemption will, upon presentation and surrender to
the Corporation of the Series B Preferred Stock Certificates
evidencing the shares being redeemed, be made; and
<PAGE>
-20-
(F) that dividends on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock
being redeemed shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date.
(iii) On the Redemption Date, the full Redemption Consideration shall
become payable for the shares of Series B Preferred Stock being redeemed on
the Redemption Date. As a condition of payment of the Redemption
Consideration, each Holder of Series B Preferred Stock must surrender
Series B Preferred Stock Certificates or Certificates representing the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock being redeemed by the Corporation in the
manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice. The full
Redemption Consideration for such shares properly tendered for payment
shall be paid to the person whose name appears on such certificate or
certificates as the owner thereof, on and after the Redemption Date when
and as certificates for the shares being redeemed are properly tendered for
payment. Each surrendered Series B Preferred Stock Certificate shall be
cancelled and retired. In the event that less than all of the shares
represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall
be issued representing the unredeemed shares.
(iv) On the Redemption Date, unless the Corporation defaults in the
payment of the Redemption Consideration, dividends will cease to accrue
with respect to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock called for
redemption. All rights of Holders of such redeemed shares will terminate
except for the right to receive the Redemption Consideration.
8. Payment on Liquidation.
(A) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of the Corporation, Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be
entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the Liquidation Preference,
before any distribution is made on any Common Stock or other preferred stock of
the Corporation. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preferences
to which they are entitled, Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will not be
entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets of the
Corporation.
<PAGE>
-21-
(B) For the purposes of this Section 8, neither the voluntary sale,
conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other
consideration) of all or substantially all the property or assets of the
Corporation nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more
corporations shall be deemed a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding-up of the Corporation, unless such sale, conveyance, exchange or
transfer shall be in connection with a dissolution or winding-up of the business
of the Corporation.
9. Exclusion of Other Rights. Except as may other wise be required by the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, shares of the Series B
Preferred Stock shall not have any preferences or relative, participating,
optional or other special rights, other than those specifically set forth in
this resolution and in the Certificate of Designation filed pursuant hereto (as
such Certificate may be amended from time to time) and in the Corporation's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended. No shares of Series B Preferred Stock
shall have any preemptive or subscription rights whatsoever as to any securities
of the Corporation.
10. Reissuance of Preferred Stock. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock that
have been issued and reacquired in any manner, including shares purchased or
redeemed, shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) have the status of authorized and
unissued shares of preferred stock undesignated as to series and may be
redesignated and reissued as part of any series of preferred stock.
11. Business Day. If any payment or redemption shall be required by the
terms hereof to be made on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment,
redemption or exchange shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day.
12. Headings of Subdivisions. The headings of the various subdivisions
hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the
interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.
13. Severability of Provisions. If any right, preference or limitation of
the Series Preferred Stock set forth in this resolution and in the Certificate
of Designation filed pursuant hereto (as such Certificate may be amended from
time to time) is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of
any rule or law or public policy, all other rights,
<PAGE>
-22-
preferences and limitations set forth in such Certificate of Designation (as so
amended) which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or
unenforceable right, preference or limitation shall, nevertheless, remain in
full force and effect, and no right, preference or limitation herein set forth
shall be deemed dependent upon any other such right, preference or limitation
unless so expressed herein.
14. Notice. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted
to be given to the Corporation hereunder shall be made by hand delivery, next
day air courier or certified first-class mail to the Corporation at its
principal executive offices (currently located on the date of the adoption of
these resolutions at 2910 Seventh Street, Berkeley, California 94710, Attention:
General Counsel; with a copy to: Cahill Gordon & Reindel, Attention: Roger
Meltzer, Esq.
15. Transferability; Right of Transferees.
(A) From and after the date of original issuance of the Series B Preferred
Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock may not be sold, assigned, conveyed,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, and no Holder shall
agree to sell, assign, convey, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise
dispose of, any Series B Preferred Stock except in a Permitted Transfer. No
Holder shall consummate or agree to consummate a Permitted Transfer or series of
Permitted Transfers involving, individually or in the aggregate, 5,000 or more
shares of Series B Preferred Stock to a single Eligible Transferee or a number
of related or affiliated Eligible Transferees other than wholly-owned Affiliates
of Ortelius and GDK, without the prior written consent of the Corporation, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(B) The Series B Preferred Stock Certificates representing all of the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be transferred pursuant to a Permitted
Transfer shall be duly endorsed by the transferring Holder or by his duly
authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of
succession, assignment or authority to transfer. In all cases of a Permitted
Transfer by an attorney, the original power of attorney, duly approved, or a
copy thereof, duly certified, shall be deposited and remain with the
Corporation. In case of a Permitted Transfer by executors, administrators,
guardians or other legal representatives, duly authenticated evidence of their
authority shall be produced, and may be required to be deposited and
<PAGE>
-23-
to remain with the Corporation in its discretion. Upon any registration of a
Permitted Transfer, the Corporation shall deliver new Series B Preferred Stock
Certificates to the persons entitled to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock
represented thereby. The Series B Preferred Stock Certificates may be exchanged
at the option of the Holder thereof, when surrendered at the offices of the
Corporation, for other Series B Preferred Stock Certificates of different
denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate a like number of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Any Series B Preferred Stock Certificate so
surrendered shall be promptly cancelled by the Corporation and retired. Each
Series B Preferred Stock Certificate issued in exchange as provided above shall
be substantially in the form of the Series B Preferred Stock Certificate being
exchanged and shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions hereof.
(C) The Series B Preferred Stock Certificates shall contain the following
legend:
THE SENIOR CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK, SERIES B (THE "SERIES B PREFERRED
STOCK") EVIDENCED HEREBY IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFERABILITY AND HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE SERIES B PREFERRED
STOCK AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OR OTHER SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON
CONVERSION OR REDEMPTION OF THE SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR
SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (i) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, OR (ii) AN
EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR XOMA CORPORATION THAT AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT IS AVAILABLE.
16. Amendments. The Corporation shall amend this Certificate of Designation
as soon as practicable upon the determination of the Conversion Price in
accordance with the terms and conditions of a Securities Purchase Agreement of
even date herewith by and among Ortelius, GDK and the Corporation. This
Certificate of Designation may be amended without notice to or the consent of
any Holder to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency provided that such
amendment does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder. Any provisions of
this Certificate of Designation may be amended by the Corporation with the
written consent of Holders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of
Series B Preferred Stock.
<PAGE>
-24-
The Corporation will, so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are
outstanding, maintain an office or agency where such shares may be presented for
registration or transfer and where such shares may be presented for conversion
and redemption.

XOMA CORPORATION
1981 STOCK OPTION PLAN
(As Amended and Restated Through
October 30, 1996)
1. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
The 1981 Stock Option Plan ("Plan") is intended to promote the interests of
Xoma Corporation (the "Corporation") by providing (i) those key employees of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries who are primarily responsible for the
management, growth and financial success of the Corporation or its subsidiaries
and (ii) those consultants who provide valuable services to the Corporation or
its subsidiaries, with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or
increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation and thereby encourage
such individuals to remain in the employ or service of the Corporation or its
subsidiaries.
2. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Corporation's Board of Directors
(the "Board"). The Board, however, may at any time appoint a committee
("Committee") of two (2) or more "non-employee directors" (within the meaning of
Rule 16b-3(b)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Commission as amended in 1996 or
any successor provision thereto) to administer one or more provisions of the
Plan, including the option grant, option surrender and option acceleration
provisions, or to provide recommendations to the Board with respect to the
Board's administration of those provisions. It is also intended that the
non-employee directors shall also be "outside directors" (within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code). However, the mere fact that a
Committee member shall fail to qualify as a non-employee director or an outside
director shall not invalidate any options granted by the Committee which are
otherwise validly made under the Plan. Members of the Committee shall serve for
such period of time as the Board may determine and shall be subject to removal
by the Board at any time.
(b) The Plan Administrator (either the Board or the Committee, to the
extent the Committee has been delegated responsibility for the administration of
the Plan) shall have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of the
Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for the
proper administration of the Plan and to
<PAGE>
-2-
make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the Plan and
any outstanding option as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of the
Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties who have an
interest in the Plan or any outstanding option.
3. ELIGIBILITY FOR OPTION GRANTS
(a) Key employees (including officers and directors) of the Corporation (or
its subsidiaries) and consultants (other than non-employee directors) who
provide valuable services to the Corporation (or its subsidiaries) are eligible
to receive options under the Plan. Directors who are not employees of the
Corporation (or its subsidiaries) are not eligible to receive such options or to
participate otherwise in the Plan.
(b) The Committee, or the Board if no Committee is appointed pursuant to
subsection 2(a), shall have full authority to determine the number of shares to
be covered by each option grant, the time or times at which each granted option
is to become exercisable, the maximum term for which the option may remain
outstanding and whether the granted option is to be an incentive stock option
("Incentive Option") which satisfies the requirements of Section 422A of the
Internal Revenue Code or a non-statutory option not intended to meet such
requirements.
(c) For the purposes of the Plan, each corporation (other than the
Corporation) in an unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Corporation
will be considered to be a subsidiary of the Corporation, provided each such
corporation other than the last corporation in the unbroken chain owns, at the
time of determination, stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.
4. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
(a) The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of the Corporation's
authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock ("Common Stock"). The maximum
number of shares issuable over the term of the Plan shall not exceed 5,150,000
shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c). The maximum number of
shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan shall, however, be
reduced, on a one-for-one basis, for each share of Common Stock issued under the
Corporation's Restricted Stock Plan (the "Stock Plan").
<PAGE>
-3-
For any one individual, the number of shares for which options or stock
appreciation rights may be granted under the Plan, beginning October 30, 1996
and ending at the expiration of the term of the Plan, may not exceed 1,000,000.
(b) Should an option be terminated for any reason prior to exercise or
surrender in full, the shares subject to the portion of the option not so
exercised or surrendered shall be available for subsequent option grant under
the Plan or for subsequent option grant or stock issuance under the Stock Plan.
Shares subject to an option (or portion of an option) surrendered in accordance
with Section 7 of the Plan and shares repurchased by the Corporation pursuant to
its repurchase rights under the Plan shall not be available for subsequent
reissue under either this Plan or the Stock Plan.
(c) If any change is made to the Common Stock issuable under the Plan by
reason of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
recapitalization, or other change affecting the outstanding common stock as a
class without receipt of consideration, then appropriate adjustments will be
made to (i) the maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan and (ii) the
number and/or class of shares and the option price per share of the Common Stock
subject to each outstanding option in order to prevent the dilution or
enlargement of benefits thereunder. The adjustments determined by the Plan
Administrator will be final, binding and conclusive.
(d) Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an option granted under the Plan
may be subject to such restrictions on transfer, repurchase rights or other
restrictions as are determined by the Plan Administrator.
5. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS
Each option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a stock option
agreement that complies with (or incorporates) each of the terms and conditions
of this Section 5 and identifies such option as either an Incentive Option or
non-statutory option. Individuals who are not employees of the Corporation or
its subsidiaries may only be granted non-statutory options. Each instrument
evidencing an Incentive Option shall, in addition, comply with the applicable
provisions of Section 6.
<PAGE>
-4-
(a) Option Price.
(1) Subject to the provisions of subsection (a)(2) below, the option price
per share will be fixed by the Plan Administrator but in no event shall it be
less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value per share of
Common Stock on the date of the option grant.
(2) If the individual to whom an Incentive Option or a non-statutory option
is granted is at such time the owner of stock (as determined under Section
425(d) of the Internal Revenue Code) possessing 10% or more of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation or any one of
its subsidiary corporations (such person to be herein referred to as a "10%
Shareholder"), then the option price per share shall not be less than one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value per share of Common Stock on
the grant date.
(3) The option price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the
option and, subject to the provisions of Section 10, shall be payable in one of
the following alternative forms specified below (as determined by the Plan
Administrator and set forth in the instrument evidencing the grant):
(A) Full payment in cash or cash equivalents; or
(B) Full payment in shares of Common Stock valued at fair market value
on the Exercise Date (as such term is defined below) in an amount equal to
the option price; or
(C) Full payment in a combination of shares of Common Stock valued at
fair market value on the Exercise Date and cash or cash equivalents, equal
in the aggregate to the option price; or
(D) Payment effected through a broker-dealer sale and remittance
procedure pursuant to which the optionee (I) shall provide irrevocable
written instructions to the designated broker-dealer to effect the
immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of
the sale proceeds, an amount equal to the aggregate option price payable
for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal and State income and
employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of
such purchase and (II) shall provide written di-
<PAGE>
-5-
rectives to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased
shares directly to such broker-dealer.
For purposes of this subsection (a)(3), the Exercise Date is the date on which
written notice of the exercise of the option is given to the Corporation. Except
to the extent the sale and remittance procedure of clause (D) above is utilized,
payment of the option price for the purchased shares shall accompany such
notice.
(4) For purposes of subsections (1), (2) and (3) above (and for all other
valuation purposes under the Plan), the fair market value per share of Common
Stock shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions:
(A) If the Common Stock is not at the time listed or admitted to
trading on any stock exchange but is traded in the over-the-counter market,
the fair market value shall be the closing selling price per share of
Common Stock on the date in question, as such price is reported by the
National Association of Securities Dealers through its Nasdaq National
Market or any successor system. If there is no reported closing selling
price for Common Stock on the date in question, then the closing selling
price on the last preceding date for which such quotation exists shall be
determinative of fair market value.
(B) If the Common Stock is at the time listed or admitted to trading
on any stock exchange, then the fair market value shall be the closing
selling price per share of Common Stock on the date in question on the
stock exchange determined by the Plan Administrator to be the primary
market for the Common Stock, as such price is officially quoted on such
exchange. If there is no reported sale of Common Stock on such exchange on
the date in question, then the fair market value shall be the closing
selling price on the exchange on the last preceding date for which such
quotation exists.
(C) If the Common Stock is at the time neither listed nor admitted to
trading on any stock exchange nor traded in the over-the-counter market (or
if the Plan Administrator determines that the value as determined pursuant
to subsection (A) or (B) above does not reflect fair market value), then
the Plan Administrator shall determine fair market value after taking into
ac-
<PAGE>
-6-
count such factors as it deems appropriate, including one or more
independent professional appraisals.
(b) Term and Exercise of Options; Transferability. Each option granted
under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times and during such period
as is determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the stock option
agreement evidencing such option; provided, however, that no option granted
under the Plan shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years from its date of
grant.
Options (other than Incentive Options) may in the discretion of the Plan
Administrator, be granted on terms which permit their transfer or assignment to
the spouse of the optionee or a descendent of the optionee (any such spouse or
descendent, an "Immediate Family Member") or a corporation, partnership, limited
liability company or trust so long as all of the shareholders, partners, members
or beneficiaries thereof, as the case may be, are either the optionee or an
Immediate Family Member of the optionee, provided that (i) there may be no
consideration for any such transfer, (ii) the stock option agreement pursuant to
which such options are granted must expressly provide for transferability in a
manner consistent with the foregoing, and (iii) subsequent transfers of
transferred options will be prohibited other than by will or the laws of descent
and distribution. Following transfer, any such options will continue to be
subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to
transfer, provided that for purposes of the option agreement the term "optionee"
will refer to the transferee. The events of termination of employment will
continue to be applied with respect to the original optionee, following which
the options will be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent, and for
the periods specified, in the option agreement. With respect to Incentive
Options, the option shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee
only by the optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable by the optionee
otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
(c) Investment Purpose. If necessary or advisable to comply with applicable
federal or state securities laws, any option granted under the Plan may be
granted on the condition that the optionee agree that the shares of Common Stock
purchased thereunder are for investment purposes only and not for resale or
distribution and that such shares shall be disposed of only in accordance with
such laws. As a condition to issuance of any shares purchased upon the exercise
of any option granted pursuant to the Plan, the optionee, his executor,
ad-
<PAGE>
-7-
ministrator, heir, legatee or transferee (as the case may be) receiving such
shares may be required to deliver to the Corporation an instrument, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Corporation and its counsel, implementing such
agreement. Any such condition may be eliminated by the Plan Administrator if the
Plan Administrator determines it is no longer necessary or advisable.
(d) Effect of Termination of Employment.
(1) Should an optionee cease to be an employee of the Corporation for any
reason (including death or permanent disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3)
of the Internal Revenue Code) while the holder of one or more outstanding
options granted to such optionee under the Plan, then such option or options
shall not remain exercisable (except as otherwise specifically authorized under
Section 11) for more than a twelve (12) month period (or such shorter period as
is determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the option agreement)
following the date of such cessation of employee status, and each such option
shall, during such twelve (12) month or shorter period, be exercisable only to
the extent of the number of shares (if any) for which the option is exercisable
on the date of such cessation of employee status. Under no circumstances,
however, shall any such option be exercisable after the specified expiration
date of the option term. Upon the expiration of such twelve (12) month or
shorter period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the
option shall terminate and cease to be exercisable.
(2) Any option granted to an optionee under the Plan and exercisable in
whole or in part on the date of the optionee's death may be subsequently
exercised, but only to the extent of the number of shares (if any) for which the
option is exercisable on the date of the optionee's cessation of employee
status, by the personal representative of the optionee's estate or by the person
or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to subsection (b) above,
provided and only if such exercise occurs prior to the earlier of (i) the first
anniversary of the date of the optionee's death or (ii) the specified expiration
date of the option term. Upon the occurrence of the earlier event, the option
shall terminate and cease to be exercisable.
(3) If (i) the optionee's status as an employee is terminated for cause
(including, but not limited to, any act of dishonesty, willful misconduct, fraud
or embezzlement or any unauthorized disclosure or use of confidential
information or
<PAGE>
-8-
trade secrets) or (ii) the optionee makes or attempts to make any unauthorized
use or disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets of the
Corporation or its subsidiaries, then upon the occurrence of any such event all
outstanding options granted the optionee under the Plan shall immediately
terminate and cease to be exercisable.
(4) Notwithstanding subsections (1), (2) and (3) above, the Plan
Administrator shall have the discretion to establish as a provision applicable
to the exercise of one or more options granted under the Plan that during the
period of exercisability following cessation of employee status (as provided in
such subsections), the option may be exercised not only with respect to the
number of shares for which it is exercisable at the time of the optionee's
cessation of employee status but also with respect to one or more installments
of purchasable shares for which the option otherwise would have become
exercisable had such cessation of employee status not occurred.
(5) For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(d), the
optionee shall be deemed to be an employee of the Corporation for so long as the
optionee remains in the employ of the Corporation or one or more of its
subsidiaries.
(6) If the option is granted to a consultant or other independent
contractor, then the instrument evidencing the granted option shall include
provisions comparable to subsections 5(d)(1), 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) above, and may
include provisions comparable to subsection 5(d)(4) above, with respect to the
optionee's termination of service with the Corporation or its subsidiaries.
(e) Shareholder Rights. An option holder shall have no shareholder rights
with respect to any shares covered by the option until such option holder has
exercised the option, paid the option price and been issued a stock certificate
for the purchased shares.
(f) Repurchase Rights. The shares of Common Stock acquired upon the
exercise of options granted under the Plan may be subject to one or more
repurchase rights of the Corporation in accordance with the following
provisions:
(1) The Plan Administrator may in its discretion determine that it shall be
a term and condition of one or more options granted under the Plan that the
Corporation (or
<PAGE>
-9-
its assigns) shall have the right, exercisable upon the optionee's cessation of
employee status or service, to repurchase at the original option price any or
all unvested shares of Common Stock at the time held by such individual under
the Plan. Any such repurchase right shall be exercisable by the Corporation (or
its assigns) upon such terms and conditions (including the establishment of the
appropriate vesting schedule and other provisions for the expiration of such
right in one or more installments) as the Plan Administrator may specify in the
instrument evidencing such right.
(2) The Plan Administrator shall also have full power and authority to
provide for the automatic termination of the Corporation's outstanding
repurchase rights, in whole and in part, and thereby accelerate the vesting of
any or all purchased shares, upon the occurrence of any Corporate Transaction
specified in Section 8.
6. SPECIAL LIMITATIONS ON INCENTIVE OPTIONS
The terms and conditions specified below shall be applicable to all
Incentive Options granted under the Plan. Options which are specifically
designated as "non-statutory" options when issued under the Plan shall not be
subject to such terms and conditions:
(a) Prior Outstanding Option. Under no circumstances may an Incentive
Option that is granted before January 1, 1987 be exercised while there remains
outstanding (within the meaning of Section 422A(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue
Code) any other pre-1987 Incentive Option that was granted at an earlier date to
the option holder to purchase stock in the Corporation or any other entity which
is on the date of grant of the later option either a subsidiary corporation of
the Corporation or any predecessor of any of any such corporation.
(b) Dollar Limitations.
(1) Dollar Limitations on Incentive Options Granted After December 31,
1986. The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the respective date or
dates of grant) of the Common Stock for which one or more options granted after
December 31, 1986 to any employee under the Plan (or any other option plan of
the Corporation or its parent or subsidiary corporations) may for the first time
become exercisable as incentive stock options under the Federal tax laws during
any one post-1986 calendar year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000). To the extent the employee holds
<PAGE>
-10-
two or more such post-1986 options which become exercisable for the first time
in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability
thereof as incentive stock options under the Federal tax laws shall be applied
on the basis of the order in which such options are granted.
(2) Dollar Limitation for Incentive Options Granted Before January 1, 1987.
The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the respective date or dates
of grant) of the Common Stock which may be made the subject of Incentive Options
granted under the Plan (or any other option plan of the Corporation or its
parent or subsidiary corporations) to any employee in any one calendar year
prior to the 1987 calendar year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000), plus any unused Carryover to such pre-1987 calendar year.
For purposes of the preceding limitation, the term "Carryover" means one-half
(1/2) of the amount by which the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)
exceeds the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the respective date or
dates of grant) of the Common Stock for which the employee was previously
granted Incentive Options under the Plan (or any other option plan of the
Corporation or its parent or subsidiary corporations) in each calendar year
after 1980 and prior to 1987. The unused Carryover shall be available for each
of the three (3) pre-1987 calendar years immediately following the calendar year
in which the Carryover arises and shall increase the basic $100,000 limitation
otherwise applicable to the employee for each such pre-1987 calendar year by an
amount equal to the Carryover, less the portion thereof used in prior calendar
years. Incentive Options granted the employee during any pre-1987 calendar year
shall first be applied against the basic $100,000 limitation in effect for such
calendar year and then applied against any of the employee's unused Carryovers
to such calendar year, in the order in which such Carryovers arose in prior
calendar years.
(c) 10% Shareholder. If the individual to whom the Incentive Option is
granted is a 10% Shareholder (as defined in Section 5(a)(2) above), then the
option shall not have a term in excess of five (5) years from such grant date.
Except as modified by the preceding provision of this Section 6, all the
provisions of the Plan shall be applicable to the Incentive Options granted
hereunder.
<PAGE>
-11-
7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
(a) One or more option holders may, upon such terms and conditions as the
Plan Administrator may establish at the time of the option grant or at any time
thereafter, be granted the right to surrender all or part of an unexercised
option in exchange for a distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to
the excess of (i) the fair market value (at date of surrender) of the number of
shares in which the optionee is at the time vested under the surrendered option
or portion thereof over (ii) the aggregate option price payable for such vested
shares. No surrender of an option, however, shall be effective unless it is
approved by the Plan Administrator. If the surrender is so approved, then the
distribution to which the option holder shall accordingly become entitled under
this Section 7 may be made in shares of Common Stock valued at fair market value
at date of surrender, in cash, or partly in shares and partly in cash, as the
Plan Administrator shall in its sole discretion deem appropriate.
(b) If the surrender of an option is rejected by the Plan Administrator,
then the option holder shall retain whatever rights the option holder had under
the surrendered option (or surrendered portion thereof) on the date of surrender
and may exercise such rights at any time prior to the later of (i) the
expiration of the 5 business-day period following receipt of the rejection
notice or (ii) the last day on which the option is otherwise exercisable in
accordance with the terms of the instrument evidencing such option, but in no
event may such rights be exercised at any time after ten (10) years (or five (5)
years in the case of a 10% Shareholder) after the date of the option grant.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7, should
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Corporation's outstanding voting stock
be acquired pursuant to a tender or exchange offer (i) which is made by a person
or group of related persons other than the Corporation or a person that directly
or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the
Corporation and (ii) which the Board does not recommend the Corporation's
shareholders to accept, then each officer or director who is at the time subject
to the short-swing profit restrictions of the Federal securities laws shall have
the right (exercisable for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days) to surrender
any or all options held by such individual under the Plan, to the extent such
options are at the time exercisable for vested shares, and receive in exchange
therefor an appreciation distribution from the Corporation cal-
<PAGE>
-12-
culated in accordance with Section 7(a). The approval of the Plan Administrator
shall not be required for such surrender, and the distribution to which such
individual shall become entitled upon such surrender shall be made entirely in
cash.
8. SALE, MERGER, REORGANIZATION, ETC.
(a) In the event of one or more of the following transactions ("Corporate
Transaction"):
(i) a merger or acquisition in which the Corporation is not the
surviving entity, except for a transaction the principal purpose of which
is to change the State of the Corporation's incorporation;
(ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Corporation; or
(iii) any other business combination in which fifty percent (50%) or
more of the Corporation's outstanding voting stock is transferred to
different holders in a single transaction or a series of related
transactions,
then each option at the time outstanding under the Plan and not then otherwise
fully exercisable shall, immediately prior to the specified effective date for
the Corporate Transaction, become fully exercisable for up to the total number
of shares of Common Stock purchasable under such option and may be exercised for
all or any portion of the shares for which the option is so accelerated.
However, an outstanding option shall not be so accelerated if and to the extent:
(i) such option is in connection with the Corporate Transaction either to be
assumed by the successor corporation or parent thereof or to be replaced with
comparable options to purchase capital stock of the successor corporation or
parent thereof, such comparability to be determined by the Plan Administrator,
or (ii) the acceleration of such option would, when added to the present value
of certain other payments in the nature of compensation which become due and
payable to such optionee in connection with the Corporate Transaction, result in
the payment to such individual of an excess parachute payment under Section
280G(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. The existence of any such excess parachute
payment shall be determined by the Plan Administrator in the exercise of its
reasonable business judgment and on the basis of independent tax counsel
provided the Corporation.
<PAGE>
-13-
(b) Upon the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding
options under the Plan shall, to the extent not previously exercised or assumed
by the successor corporation or its parent company, terminate and cease to be
exercisable.
(c) If the Corporation is the surviving entity in any Corporate Transaction
or the outstanding options under the Plan are to be assumed in connection with
such Corporate Transaction, then each such continuing or assumed option shall be
appropriately adjusted immediately after such Corporate Transaction to apply and
pertain to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to
the optionee in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, had such option been
exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such Corporate Transaction.
Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the option price payable per
share, provided the aggregate option price shall remain the same. In addition,
the class and number of securities available for issuance under the Plan
following the consummation of such Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately
adjusted.
(d) In connection with any Corporate Transaction, the exercise of any
accelerated pre-1987 Incentive Option shall remain subject to the applicable
limitations of Section 6(a) and the exercisability as an incentive stock option
under the Federal tax laws of any accelerated post-1986 option shall be subject
to the applicable dollar limitation of Section 6(b)(1).
(e) The grant of options under the Plan shall not affect the right of the
Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
9. [RESERVED]
10. LOANS OR GUARANTEE OF LOANS
The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, assist any optionee
(including an optionee who is an officer or director of the Corporation) in the
exercise of one or more options granted to such optionee under the Plan,
including the satisfaction of any Federal and State income and employment tax
obligations arising therefrom, by (i) authorizing the extension of a loan from
the Corporation to such optionee, (ii) permitting the optionee to pay the option
price for the purchased Common Stock in installments over a period of years, or
(iii)
<PAGE>
-14-
authorizing a guarantee by the Corporation of a third-party loan to the
optionee. The terms of any loan, installment method of payment or guarantee
(including the interest rate and terms of repayment) shall be upon such terms as
the Plan Administrator specifies in the stock option agreement. Such loans,
installment payments and guarantees may be granted with or without security or
collateral, but the maximum credit available to the optionee may not exceed (A)
the aggregate option price for the purchased shares (less their par value, which
must in all events be paid in cash) plus (B) any Federal and State income and
employment tax liability incurred by the optionee in connection with such
exercise.
11. EXTENSION PERIODS
The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority, exercisable in
its sole discretion, to extend, either at the time the option is granted or at
any time while the option remains outstanding, the period of time for which the
option is to remain exercisable following the optionee's termination of employee
status from the twelve (12) month or shorter period set forth in the option
agreement to such greater period of time as the Plan Administrator shall deem
appropriate; provided, however, that in no event shall such option be
exercisable after the specified expiration date of the option term.
12. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND OPTIONS
(a) The Board has complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or
modify the Plan in any or all respects whatsoever; provided, however, that,
except to the extent necessary to qualify any or all options under the Plan as
Incentive Options, no such amendment or modification may adversely affect rights
and obligations of an option holder with respect to options at the time
outstanding under the Plan unless the option holder consents to such amendment.
In addition, the Board may not, without the approval of the Corporation's
shareholders, amend the Plan to (i) materially increase the maximum number of
shares issuable under the Plan (except for permissible adjustments under Section
4(c)), (ii) materially increase the benefits accruing to individuals who
participate in the Plan, or (iii) materially modify the class of individuals
eligible to receive options thereunder.
(b) Options may be granted under the Plan to purchase shares of Common
Stock in excess of the number of shares then available for issuance under the
Plan, provided (i) an amendment to increase the maximum number of shares
issuable un-
<PAGE>
-15-
der the Plan is adopted by the Board prior to the initial grant of any such
option and is thereafter submitted to the Corporation's shareholders for
approval and (ii) each option so granted is not to become exercisable, in whole
or in part, at any time prior to the obtaining of such shareholder approval.
13. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN
(a) The Plan was initially adopted by the Board on November 15, 1981 and
approved by the shareholders on May 10, 1982. The Plan was restated and amended
by the Board on April 3, 1987, and such restatement was approved by the
Corporation's shareholders on May 13, 1987. Amendments to the restated Plan were
adopted by the Board on September 20, 1988, December 16, 1988 and February 21,
1989 to increase the number of shares issuable under the Plan. Such amendments
were approved by the Corporation's shareholders on May 19, 1989. The Plan was
further amended and restated on March 21, 1990 and approved in 1991 to increase
the number of shares issuable under the Plan and to extend the term of the Plan
to March 21, 2000. The Plan was further restated and approved in 1992 to
increase the number of shares issuable under the Plan, and again in 1996 to
further increase the number of shares issuable under the Plan. The new
restatement of the Plan was adopted by the Board on October 30, 1996 and was
approved by the Corporation's shareholders at the 1997 Annual Meeting.
(b) The provisions of this restated and amended Plan shall apply only to
options granted under the Plan from and after October 30, 1996. All options
issued and outstanding under the Plan immediately prior to October 30, 1996
shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan (and the
respective instruments evidencing each such option) as in effect on the date
each such option was previously granted, and nothing in this restatement shall
be deemed to affect or otherwise modify the rights or obligations of the holders
of such options with respect to the acquisition of shares of Common Stock
thereunder.
(c) Unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section 8, the Plan will
terminate upon the earlier of (i) March 21, 2000 or (ii) the date on which all
shares available for issuance under the Plan have been issued or cancelled
pursuant to the exercise or surrender of options granted hereunder. If the date
of termination is determined under clause (i) above, then options outstanding on
such date shall not be affected by the termination of the Plan and will
thereafter continue to have
<PAGE>
-16-
force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the stock option
agreements evidencing such options.
14. USE OF PROCEEDS
Any cash proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of shares
pursuant to options granted under the Plan shall be used for general corporate
purposes.
15. WITHHOLDING
The Corporation's obligation to deliver shares upon the exercise of any
option or the surrender of any option granted under the Plan is subject to the
option holder's satisfaction of all applicable Federal, State and local income
and employment tax withholding requirements.
16. SPECIAL TAX WITHHOLDING ELECTION
(a) The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion and in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 16 and such supplemental rules as the Plan
Administrator may from time to time adopt, provide any or all holders of
non-statutory options under the Plan with the election to have the Corporation
withhold, from the shares purchased under each non-statutory option, one or more
shares of Common Stock having an aggregate fair market value equal to the
designated percentage (any multiple of 5% up to 100% as specified by the
optionee) of the Federal and State tax liability incurred in connection with the
exercise of such non-statutory option. In addition, should the optionee deliver
shares acquired under the Stock Plan in payment of the option price for one or
more options exercised under the Plan and the Corporation cancel its first
refusal rights with respect to the delivered shares, the stock withholding
election may extend to the optionee's entire tax obligation with respect to both
the taxable gain on the purchased shares and the compensation income recognized
upon the cancellation of the Corporation's first refusal rights with respect to
the delivered shares.
(b) Any such withholding election made by a holder of a non-statutory
option under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) The election must be made on or before the date the amount of the
Federal and State withholding tax liability incurred in connection with the
exercise of such non-statutory option is determined (the "Tax Determination
Date").
<PAGE>
-17-
(ii) The election shall be irrevocable.
(iii) The election shall be subject to the approval of the Plan
Administrator, and no shares of Common Stock shall be accepted in
satisfaction of the withholding taxes incurred in connection with the
exercise of such option except to the extent the election is approved by
the Plan Administrator.
(iv) The shares of Common Stock to be withheld pursuant to the
election shall be valued on the Tax Determination Date in accordance with
the valuation procedures in effect under Section 5(a)(4).
(v) In no event may the optionee's requested withholding exceed the
dollar amount of the Federal and State income tax liability incurred as a
result of the exercise of the non-statutory option.
(c) In lieu of the direct withholding provisions of subparagraph (a) above,
one or more optionees may also be granted the election to deliver pre-existing
shares of Common Stock to the Corporation in satisfaction of the entire Federal
and State tax liability incurred in connection with the exercise of his/her
non-statutory stock option and delivery of any shares of Common Stock in payment
of the option price. The delivered shares shall be valued on the Tax
Determination Date in accordance with the valuation procedures in effect under
Section 5(a)(4).
17. REGULATORY APPROVALS
The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any option under the Plan,
and the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise or surrender of any such
option is subject to the Corporation's procurement of all approvals and permits
required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the
options granted under it, and the Common Stock issued pursuant to it.
Stock Option Agreement
Under the XOMA Corporation
1981 Stock Option Plan
(A) Optionee: (E) Payroll Number:
(B) Grant Date: (F) Expiration Date:
(C) Shares: (G) Exercise Price:
(D) Share Installments: (H) Option Type:
XOMA Corporation (the "Company") has granted you an option to purchase the
number of shares of Common Stock shown in item (C) above (the "Optioned Shares")
at the Exercise Price per share shown in item (G) above. This option is subject
to the terms of the Company's 1981 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated
through October 30, 1996 (the "Plan") and to the terms and conditions set forth
in this Stock Option Agreement under the XOMA Corporation 1981 Stock Option Plan
(the "Agreement").
The details of your option are as follows:
1. Term; Transfer. The term of this option commences on the Grant Date
shown in item (B) above and, except as provided in Section 3 and Subsection 5(a)
hereof, expires at the close of business on the Expiration Date shown in item
(F) above, which is 10 years from the Grant Date.
If this option is a non-statutory stock option, it may be transferred or
assigned to your spouse or descendent (any such spouse or descendent, your
"Immediate Family Member") or a corporation, partnership, limited liability
company or trust so long as all of the shareholders, partners, members or
beneficiaries thereof, as the case may be, are either you or your Immediate
Family Member, provided that (i) there may be no consideration for any such
transfer and (ii) subsequent transfers of the transferred option will be
prohibited other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Following
transfer, the option will continue to be subject to the same terms and
conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer, provided that for
purposes of this Agreement any references to "you" will refer to the transferee.
The events of termination of employment will continue to be applied with respect
to you,
<PAGE>
-2-
following which the option will be exercisable by the transferee only to the
extent, and for the periods specified, in this Agreement.
If this option is an incentive stock option, the option shall be
exercisable during your lifetime only by you and shall not be assignable or
transferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
2. Exercise Schedule. Provided that you remain an employee of or consultant
to the Company (as determined in accordance with Subsection 3(e) hereof), the
option granted herein will become exercisable in accordance with the following
schedule:
(a) This option will become exercisable with respect to 20% of the Optioned
Shares after the expiration of one year from the Grant Date;
(b) This option will become exercisable with respect to an additional 20%
of the Optioned Shares after the expiration of two years from the Grant Date;
(c) This option will become exercisable with respect to an additional 20%
of the Optioned Shares after the expiration of three years from the Grant Date;
(d) This option will become exercisable with respect to an additional 20%
of the Optioned Shares after the expiration of four years from the Grant Date;
and,
(e) This option will become exercisable with respect to the remaining 20%
of the Optioned Shares after the expiration of five years from the Grant Date.
Exercisable installments may be exercised in whole or in part in increments
of 25 or more shares and, to the extent not exercised, will accumulate and be
exercisable at any time on or before the Expiration Date or sooner termination
of the option term.
3. Accelerated Termination of Option Term. The option term specified in
Section 1 will terminate (and this option will cease to be exercisable) prior to
the Expiration Date should one of the following provisions become applicable:
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Subsections (b), (c) and (d) below, if
you cease to be an employee of the Company at
<PAGE>
-3-
any time during the option term, then the period for exercising this option will
be limited to the three-month period commencing with the date of such cessation
of employee status; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if you cease
to be an employee of the Company and immediately thereafter become a consultant
to the Company at any time during the option term, then the period for
exercising this option will not be limited as aforesaid but will be limited to
the three-month period commencing with the date of cessation of consultant
status, if during the option term; and provided further, that in no event will
this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date. During any
such limited period of exercisability, this option may not be exercised for more
than the number of Optioned Shares (if any) for which it is exercisable at the
date of your cessation of employee or consultant status, as the case may be.
Upon the expiration of any such limited period of exercisability or (if earlier)
upon the Expiration Date, this option will terminate and cease to be
outstanding.
(b) If you die while this option is outstanding, then the personal
representative of your estate or the person or persons to whom the option is
transferred pursuant to your will, in accordance with the laws of descent and
distribution, or pursuant to Section 1 above, will have the right to exercise
this option, but only with respect to the number of Optioned Shares (if any) for
which it is exercisable at the date of your death. Such right will lapse, and
this option will cease to be exercisable, upon the earlier of (i) the expiration
of the one-year period measured from the date of your death or (ii) the
specified Expiration Date of the option term.
(c) If you become permanently disabled and cease by reason thereof to be
either an employee of or a consultant to the Company at any time during the
option term, then you will have a period of twelve months (commencing with the
date of such cessation of employee or consultant status, as the case may be)
during which to exercise this option; provided, however, that in no event shall
this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date. During such
limited period of exercisability, this option may not be exercised for more than
the number of Optioned Shares (if any) for which this option is exercisable at
the date of your cessation of employee or consultant status, as the case may be.
Upon the expiration of such limited period of exercisability or (if earlier)
upon the Expiration Date, this option will terminate and cease to be
outstanding. You will be deemed to be permanently disabled if you are, by reason
of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment expected to result
in death or to be of continuous
<PAGE>
-4-
duration of not less than twelve consecutive months or more, unable to perform
your usual duties for the Company or its subsidiaries.
(d) Should (i) your status as either an employee or a consultant be
terminated for cause (including, but not limited to, any act of dishonesty,
willful misconduct, fraud or embezzlement or any unauthorized disclosure or use
of confidential information or trade secrets), or (ii) you make or attempt to
make any unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information or trade
secrets of the Company or its subsidiaries, then in any such event this option
will terminate and cease to be exercisable immediately upon the date of such
termination of employee or consultant status, as the case may be, or such
unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential or secret information or attempt
thereat.
(e) For purposes of this Agreement, you will be deemed to be an employee of
the Company for so long as you remain in the employ of the Company or one or
more of its subsidiaries, and you will be deemed to be a consultant to the
Company for so long as you are actively rendering consulting services on a
periodic basis to the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries. A corporation
will be deemed to be a subsidiary of the Company if it is a member of an
unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company, provided that each
such corporation in the chain (other than the last corporation) owns, at the
time of determination, stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.
4. Adjustment in Option Shares.
(a) If any change is made to the Common Stock issuable under the Plan,
whether by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
recapitalization or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a
class without receipt of consideration, then appropriate adjustments will be
made to (i) the total number of Optioned Shares subject to this option and (ii)
the Exercise Price payable per share, in order to reflect such change and
thereby preclude the dilution or enlargement of benefits under this Agreement.
The adjustments determined by the plan administrator (the "Plan Administrator")
will be final, binding and conclusive.
(b) If the Company is the surviving entity in any merger or other business
combination, then this option, if outstanding under the Plan immediately after
such merger or other business
<PAGE>
-5-
combination, will be appropriately adjusted to apply and pertain to the number
and class of securities which the holder of the same number of shares of Common
Stock as are subject to this option immediately prior to such merger or other
business combination would have been entitled to receive in the consummation of
such merger or other business combination, and an appropriate adjustment will be
made to the Exercise Price payable per share, provided the aggregate Exercise
Price payable hereunder will remain the same.
5. Corporate Transaction.
(a) In the event of one or more of the following transactions ("Corporate
Transaction"):
(i) a merger or acquisition in which the Company is not the surviving
entity, except for a transaction the principal purpose of which is to
change the State of the Company's incorporation,
(ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, or
(iii) any other corporate reorganization or business combination in
which fifty percent (50%) or more of the Company's outstanding voting stock
is transferred to different holders in a single transaction or a series of
related transactions,
then the exercisability of this option will automatically be accelerated so that
such option may be exercised simultaneously with consummation of such Corporate
Transaction for any or all of the Optioned Shares. No such acceleration of this
option will occur, however, if and to the extent: (x) the terms of the agreement
provide as a prerequisite to the consummation of such Corporate Transaction that
outstanding options under the Plan (including this option) are to be assumed by
the successor corporation or parent thereof or are to be replaced with the
comparable options to purchase shares of capital stock of the successor
corporation or parent thereof, such comparability to be determined by the Plan
Administrator, or (y) the acceleration of this option would, when added to the
present value of certain other payments in the nature of compensation which
become due and payable to you in connection with the Corporate Transaction,
result in the payment to you of excess parachute payments under Section 280G(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code. The existence of such excess parachute payments
will be determined by the Plan Administrator in the exercise of its reason-
<PAGE>
-6-
able business judgment and on the basis of tax counsel provided to the Company.
Immediately following consummation of the Corporate Transaction, this option
will, to the extent not previously exercised or assumed by the successor
corporation or its parent company, terminate and cease to be exercisable.
(b) The exercisability of this option as an incentive stock option under
the Federal tax laws (if designated as such above) will be subject to the
applicable dollar limitation of Section 16 hereof.
(c) The Plan Administrator will use its best efforts to provide you with
written notice of a Corporate Transaction at least ten business days prior to
the effective date.
(d) This Agreement will not in any way affect the right of the Company to
adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise make changes in its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
6. Privilege of Stock Ownership. The holder of this option will not have
any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Optioned Shares until such
individual has exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and been issued a
stock certificate for the purchased shares.
7. Manner of Exercising Option.
(a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any part of the
Optioned Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable, you (or in the
case of exercise after your death, your executor, administrator, heir, legatee
or transferee as the case may be) must take the following actions:
(i) Provide the Secretary of the Company with written notice of such
exercise, specifying the number of Optioned Shares with respect to which
the option is being exercised.
(ii) Pay the Exercise Price for the purchased Optioned Shares in one
or more of the following alternative forms: (A) full payment in cash or by
check payable to the Company's order; (B) full payment in shares of Common
Stock of the Company valued at fair market value on the exercise date (as
such terms are defined below); (C) full payment in combination of shares of
Common Stock of the Company [held for at least six months1 and] valued at
fair
<PAGE>
-7-
market value on the exercise date and cash or check payable to the
Company's order; (D) payment effected through a broker-dealer sale and
remittance procedure pursuant to which you (I) will provide irrevocable
written instructions to the designated broker-dealer to effect the
immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Company, out of the
sale proceeds, an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price payable for
the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal and State income and
employment taxes required to be withheld by the Company by reason of such
purchase and (II) will provide written directives to the Company to deliver
the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such broker-dealer;
or, to the extent the Plan Administrator specifically authorizes such
method of payment at the time of exercise, (E) payment by a full-recourse
promissory note. Any such promissory note authorized by the Plan
Administrator will be substantially in the form approved by the Plan
Administrator, will bear interest at the minimum per annum rate necessary
to avoid the imputation of interest income to the Company and compensation
income to you under the Federal tax laws and will become due in full (in
one or more consecutive annual installments measured from the execution
date of the note) not later than the Expiration Date of this option.
Payment of the note will be secured by the pledge of the purchased shares,
and the pledged shares will be released only as the note is paid.
(iii) Furnish to the Company appropriate documentation that the person
or persons exercising the option, if other than you, have the right to
exercise this option.
(b) For purposes of Subsection 7(a) hereof, the fair market value per share
of Common Stock on any relevant date will be determined in accordance with
Subsections (i) through (iii) below, and the exercise date will be the date on
which you exercise this option in compliance with the provisions of Subsection
7(a).
(i) If the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any
stock exchange on the date in question, but is traded in the
over-the-counter market, the fair market value will be the closing selling
price per share of such stock on such date, as such price is reported by
the National Association of Securities Dealers through its Nasdaq National
Market. If there is no reported closing selling price of the stock on the
date in question then the closing selling price on the last preceding date
for
<PAGE>
-8-
which such quotation exists will be determinative of fair market value.
(ii) If the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading on any stock
exchange on the date in question, the fair market value will be the closing
selling price per share of such stock on such date on the stock exchange
determined by the Plan Administrator to be the primary market for such
stock, as such price is officially quoted on such exchange. If there is no
reported closing selling price of such stock on such exchange on the date
in question, the fair market value will be the closing selling price on the
exchange on the last preceding date for which such quotation exists.
(iii) If the Common Stock is neither listed nor admitted to trading on
any stock exchange nor traded in the over-the-counter market on the date in
question or if the Plan Administrator determines that the quotations under
Subsections (i) or (ii) above do not accurately reflect the fair market
value of such stock, the fair market value will be determined by the Plan
Administrator after taking into account such factors as the Plan
Administrator may deem appropriate, including one or more independent
professional appraisals.
(c) In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional share.
8. Compliance with Laws and Regulations.
(a) The exercise of this option and the issuance of Optioned Shares upon
such exercise will be subject to compliance by the Company and by you with all
applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable
regulations of any stock exchange on which shares of the Company's Common Stock
may be listed at the time of such exercise and issuance.
(b) In connection with the exercise of this option, you will execute and
deliver to the Company such representations in writing as may be requested by
the Company in order for it to comply with the applicable requirements of
Federal and State securities laws.
9. Restrictive Legends. If and to the extent any Optioned Shares acquired
under this option are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, the stock
certificates for such
<PAGE>
-9-
Optioned Shares will be endorsed with restrictive legends, including (without
limitation) the following:
"The Shares represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933. The shares have been acquired for
investment and may not be sold or offered for sale in the absence of
(a) an effective registration statement for the shares under such Act,
(b) a 'no action' letter of the Securities and Exchange Commission
with respect to such sale or offer, or (c) an opinion of counsel to
the Company that registration under such Act is not required with
respect to such sale or offer."
10. Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in
Section 1 and Subsection 5(a), the provisions of this Agreement will inure to
the benefit of, and be binding upon your successors, administrators, heirs,
legal representatives and assigns and the successors and assigns of the Company.
11. Liability of the Company.
(a) If the Optioned Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of the
Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may without shareholder
approval be issued under the Plan, then this option will be void with respect to
such excess shares unless shareholder approval of an amendment sufficiently
increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan is
obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
(b) The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory
body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option will relieve the
Company of any liability in respect of the non-issuance or sale of such stock as
to which such approval will not have been obtained.
12. No Employment or Consulting Contract. Nothing in this Agreement or in
the Plan will confer upon you any right to continue in the employ or service of
the Company for any period of time or interfere with or otherwise restrict in
any way the rights of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company employing or
retaining you) or you, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to
terminate your employee or consultant
<PAGE>
-10-
status as the case may be, at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or
without cause.
13. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company
under the terms of this Agreement will be in writing and addressed to the
Company in care of its Secretary at its corporate offices. Any notice required
to be given or delivered to you will be in writing and addressed to you at the
address indicated below your signature line herein. All notices will be deemed
to be given or delivered upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S.
mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.
14. Construction. This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby are made
and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject
to the express terms and provisions of the Plan. Any dispute regarding the
interpretation of this Agreement will be submitted to the Plan Administrator for
resolution. The decision of the Plan Administrator will be final, binding and
conclusive. Questions regarding this option or the Plan should be referred to
the Paralegal Assistant in the Legal Department.
15. Governing Law. The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of this
Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California.
16. Additional Terms Applicable to an Incentive Stock Option. In the event
this option is an incentive stock option, the following terms and conditions
will apply to the grant:
(a) This option will cease to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an
incentive stock option under the Federal tax laws if (and to the extent) this
option is exercised for Optioned Shares: (i) more than three months after the
date you cease to be an employee for any reason other than death or permanent
disability (as defined in Section 3) or (ii) more than one (1) year after the
date you cease to be an employee by reason of permanent disability.
(b) Except in the event of a Corporate Transaction under Section 5, this
option will not become exercisable in the calendar year in which granted if (and
to the extent) the aggregate fair market value (determined at the Grant Date) of
the Company's Common Stock for which this option would otherwise first become
exercisable in such calendar year would, when added to the aggregate fair market
value (determined as of the
<PAGE>
-11-
respective date or dates of grant) of the Company's Common Stock for which this
option or one or more other post-1986 incentive stock options granted to you
prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the
Company or its parent or subsidiary corporations) first become exercisable
during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in
the aggregate. To the extent the exercisability of this option is deferred by
reason of the foregoing limitation, the deferred portion will first become
exercisable in the first calendar year or years thereafter in which the One
Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation of this Section 16(b) would not be
contravened.
(c) Should the exercisability of this option be accelerated upon a
Corporate Transaction in accordance with Section 5, then this option will
qualify for favorable tax treatment as an incentive stock option under the
Federal tax laws only to the extent the aggregate fair market value (determined
at the Grant Date) of the Company's Common Stock for which this option first
becomes exercisable in the calendar year in which the Corporate Transaction
occurs does not, when added to the aggregate fair market value (determined as of
the respective date or dates of grant) of the Company's Common Stock for which
this option or one or more other post-1986 incentive stock options granted to
you prior to Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the
Company or any parent or subsidiary corporations) first become exercisable
during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in
the aggregate.
(d) To the extent that this option fails to qualify as an incentive stock
option under the Federal tax laws, you will recognize compensation income in
connection with the acquisition of one or more Optioned Shares hereunder, and
you must make appropriate arrangements for the satisfaction of all Federal,
State or local income tax withholding requirements and Federal social security
employee tax requirements applicable to such compensation income.
17. Additional Terms Applicable to a Non-Statutory Stock Option. In the
event this option is a non-statutory stock option, you hereby agree to make
appropriate arrangements with the Company or subsidiary thereof by which you are
employed or retained for the satisfaction of all Federal, State or local income
tax withholding requirements and Federal social security employee tax
requirements applicable to the exercise of this option.

XOMA CORPORATION
RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN
(As Restated And Amended Through October 30, 1996)
ARTICLE I
GENERAL
1. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
This Restricted Stock Plan ("Plan") is intended to promote the interests of
XOMA Corporation (the "Corporation") by providing (i) those key employees of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries who are primarily responsible for the
management, growth and financial success of the Corporation or its subsidiaries
and (ii) those consultants who provide valuable services to the Corporation or
its subsidiaries, with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or
increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation and thereby to encourage
such individuals to remain in the employ or service of the Corporation or its
subsidiaries.
2. STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN
(a) The Plan shall be divided into two separate components: the Option
Grant Program specified in Article II and the Stock Issuance Program specified
in Article III. Under the Option Grant Program, eligible individuals may be
granted options to purchase shares of the Corporation's Common Stock at a
discount of up to 15% of the fair market value of such shares on the grant date.
(b) The Stock Issuance Program shall allow eligible individuals to acquire
shares of the Corporation's Common Stock either through direct purchases or upon
the exercise of option grants. Such shares may be purchased at a discount of up
to 15% of their fair market value on the issue date (for direct issuances) or
15% of such fair market value on the option grant date (for shares acquired upon
the exercise of granted options). The purchased shares may be issued as
fully-vested shares or as shares which are to vest over time. Issuances may be
effected. Any or all of the issued shares may be subject to a permanent right of
first refusal binding all holders of the
<PAGE>
-2-
shares to offer such shares for sale to the Corporation at a formula price prior
to any sale or other disposition to a third party. The fair market value of
shares subject to such first refusal rights shall be appropriately discounted to
reflect this non-lapse restriction.
(c) The provisions of Articles I and IV of the Plan shall apply to both the
Option Grant Program and the Stock Issuance Program and shall accordingly govern
the interests of all individuals in the Plan.
(d) For all purposes of the Plan, the following definitions shall be in
effect:
(i)An individual shall be deemed to be in the Service of the
Corporation for so long as he remains an employee of the Corporation or
renders periodic services to the Corporation or its subsidiaries as a
consultant, advisor or other independent service provider.
(ii) An individual shall be deemed to be an employee of the
Corporation for so long as he continues in the active employ of the
Corporation or one or more of its subsidiary corporations.
(iii) The term "subsidiary" shall mean any corporation (other than the
Corporation) in an unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the
Corporation, provided each of the corporations in the chain (other than the
last corporation) owns stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of one of the other corporations in
such chain.
3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Corporation's Board of Directors
(the "Board"). The Board, however, may at any time appoint a committee
("Committee") of two (2) or more "non-employee directors" (within the meaning of
Rule 16b-3 (b)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Commission as amended in 1996
or any successor provision thereto) to administer one or more provisions of the
Plan, including the Option Grant provisions of Article II or the Stock Issuance
provisions of Article III, or to provide recommendations to the Board with
respect to the Board's administration of those provisions. It is also intended
that the non-employee directors shall also be "outside directors" (within the
meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code). However, the mere fact
that a Committee
<PAGE>
-3-
member shall fail to qualify as a non-employee director or an outside director
shall not invalidate any options or shares granted by the Committee which are
otherwise validly made under the Plan. Members of the Committee shall serve for
such period of time as the Board may determine and shall be subject to removal
by the Board at any time.
(b) The Plan Administrator (either the Board or the Committee, to the
extent the Committee has been delegated responsibility for the administration of
the Plan) shall have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of the
Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for the
proper administration of the Plan and to make such determinations under, and
issue such interpretations of, the Plan and any outstanding option grants or
stock issuances as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Plan
Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in
the Plan or any outstanding option grant or stock issuance.
4. OPTION GRANTS AND SHARE ISSUANCES
(a) Key employees (including officers and directors) of the Corporation (or
its subsidiaries) and consultants (other than the non-employee directors) who
provide valuable services to the Corporation (or its subsidiaries) shall be
eligible to receive share issuances under the Stock Issuance Program
("Participant") and/or option grants pursuant to the Option Grant Program
("Optionee"). Directors who are not employees of the Corporation shall not be
eligible to receive such share issuances or option grants or to participate
otherwise in the Plan.
(b) The Committee, or the Board if no Committee is appointed pursuant to
Section 3, shall have full authority to determine, (I) with respect to the
option grants made under the Plan, the number of shares to be covered by each
grant, the time or times at which each granted option is to become exercisable
and the maximum term for which the option may remain outstanding and (II) with
respect to share issuances under the Stock Issuance Program, the number of
shares to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if any) to be
applicable to the issued shares, the consideration to be paid by the individual
for such shares and the appropriate formula price to be in effect for the
Corporation's first refusal rights.
(c) All options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed to have been
granted on the date of authorization by
<PAGE>
-4-
the Plan Administrator or at any later date specified by the Plan Administrator
at the time of such authorization. Any individual may hold more than one
outstanding option under the Plan.
(d) The Plan Administrator shall have the absolute discretion either to
grant non-qualified options in accordance with Article II of the Plan or to
effect direct share issuances in accordance with Article III of the Plan.
5. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
(a) The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of the Corporation's
authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock ("Common Stock"). The maximum
number of shares issuable over the term of the Plan shall not exceed 1,250,000
shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(c) of this Article I. In
no event, however, shall more than 5,150,000 shares (subject to adjustment under
Section 5(c) of this Article I) be issued in the aggregate over the term of this
Plan and the Corporation's 1981 Stock Option Plan ("1981 Plan").
For any one individual, the number of shares for which options or stock
appreciation rights may be granted under the Option Grant Program beginning on
October 30, 1996 and ending at the expiration of the term of the Plan may not
exceed 1,000,000.
(b) Should an option under the Plan be terminated for any reason prior to
exercise or surrender in full, the shares subject to the portion of the option
not so exercised or surrendered shall be available for subsequent option grant
or stock issuance under the Plan or for subsequent option grant under the 1981
Plan. Shares subject to an option (or portion of an option) surrendered under
the Plan in connection with a Control Acquisition (as defined in Article II,
Section 2(d)) shall not be available for subsequent option grant or stock
issuance under the Plan or for subsequent option grant under the 1981 Plan.
Shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program (whether as vested or unvested
shares) which are repurchased by the Corporation shall not be available for
subsequent reissuance under this Plan or the 1981 Plan.
(c) If any change is made to the Common Stock issuable under the Plan by
reason of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
recapitalization or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a
class without re-
<PAGE>
-5-
ceipt of consideration, then appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the
number of shares issuable under the Plan, (ii) the number of shares issuable in
the aggregate under this Plan and the 1981 Plan and (iii) the number and/or
class of shares and the option price per share of the Common Stock subject to
each outstanding option in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of
benefits thereunder. The adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall
be final, binding and conclusive.
(d) Common Stock issuable under the Plan, whether under the Option Grant
Program or the Stock Issuance Program, may be subject to such restrictions on
transfer, repurchase rights or other restrictions as are determined by the Plan
Administrator.
ARTICLE II
OPTION GRANT PROGRAM
1. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS
Each option granted under the Plan shall be a non-qualified option and
shall be evidenced by a stock option agreement that complies with (or
incorporates) each of the terms and conditions of this Article II.
(a) Option Price.
(1) Subject to the provisions of Section (a)(2) below, the option price per
share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator, but in no event shall it be less
than eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value per share of Common
Stock on the date of the option grant.
(2) If the individual to whom the option is granted is at such time the
owner of stock (as determined under Section 425(d) of the Internal Revenue Code)
possessing 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Corporation or any one of its subsidiary corporations ("10%
Shareholder"), then the option price per share shall not be less than one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value per share of Common Stock on
the grant date.
(3) The option price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the
option and, subject to the provisions of Article IV, Section 2, shall be payable
in one of the fol-
<PAGE>
-6-
lowing alternative forms specified below (as determined by the Plan
Administrator and set forth in the instrument evidencing the grant):
(A) Full payment in cash or cash equivalents; or
(B) Full payment in shares of Common Stock valued at fair market value
on the Exercise Date (as such term is defined below) equal to the option
price; or
(C) Full payment in a combination of shares of Common Stock valued at
fair market value on the Exercise Date and cash or cash equivalents, equal
in the aggregate to the option price; or
(D) Payment effected through a broker-dealer sale and remittance
procedure pursuant to which the Optionee (I) shall provide irrevocable
written instructions to the designated broker-dealer to effect the
immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of
the sale proceeds, an amount equal to the aggregate option price payable
for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal and State income and
employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of
such purchase and (II) shall provide written directives to the Corporation
to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such
broker-dealer. For purposes of this subsection (a)(3), the Exercise Date is
the date on which written notice of the exercise of the option is given to
the Corporation. Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure of
clause (D) above is utilized, payment of the option price for the purchased
shares shall accompany such notice.
(4) For purposes of subsections (1), (2) and (3) above (and for all other
valuation purposes under the Plan), the fair market value per share of Common
Stock shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions:
(A) If the Common Stock is not at the time listed or admitted to
trading on any stock exchange but is traded in the over-the-counter market,
the fair market value shall be the closing selling price per share of
Common Stock on the date in question, as such price is reported by the
National Association of Securities Dealers through its Nasdaq National
Market or any successor sys-
<PAGE>
-7-
tem. If there is no reported closing selling price for the Common Stock on
the date in question, then the closing selling price on the last preceding
date for which such quotation exists shall be determinative of fair market
value.
(B) If the Common Stock is at the time listed or admitted to trading
on any stock exchange, then the fair market value shall be the closing
selling price per share of Common Stock on the date in question on the
stock exchange determined by the Plan Administrator to be the primary
market for the Common Stock, as such price is officially quoted on such
exchange. If there is no reported sale of Common Stock on such exchange on
the date in question, then the fair market value shall be the closing
selling price on the exchange on the last preceding date for which such
quotation exists.
(C) If the Common Stock is at the time neither listed nor admitted to
trading on any stock exchange nor traded in the over-the-counter market (or
if the Plan Administrator determines that the value as determined pursuant
to subsection (A) or (B) above does not reflect fair market value), then
the Plan Administrator shall determine fair market value after taking into
account such factors as it deems appropriate, including one or more
independent professional appraisals.
(b) Term and Exercise of Options; Transferability. Each option granted
under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times and during such period
as is determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the stock option
agreement evidencing such option; provided, however, that no option granted
under the Plan shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years from the grant
date.
Options may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted on
terms which permit their transfer or assignment to the spouse of the Optionee or
a descendent of the Optionee (any such spouse or descendent, an "Immediate
Family Member") or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or
trust so long as all of the shareholders, partners, members or beneficiaries
thereof, as the case may be, are either the Optionee or an Immediate Family
Member of the Optionee, provided that (i) there may be no consideration for any
such transfer, (ii) the stock option agreement pursuant to which such options
are granted must expressly provide for transferability in a manner consistent
with the foregoing and
<PAGE>
-8-
(iii) subsequent transfers of transferred options will be prohibited other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Following transfer, any such
options will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were
applicable immediately prior to transfer, provided that for purposes of the
option agreement the term "Optionee" will refer to the transferee. The events of
termination of employment will continue to be applied with respect to the
original optionee, following which the options will be exercisable by the
transferee only to the extent, and for the periods specified, in the option
agreement.
(c) Effect of Termination of Employment.
(1) Should an Optionee cease to be an employee of the Corporation for any
reason (including death or permanent disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3)
of the Internal Revenue Code) while the holder of one or more outstanding
options granted to such Optionee under the Plan, then such option or options
shall in no event remain exercisable for more than a twelve (12) month period
(or such shorter period as is determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth
in the option agreement) following the date of such cessation of employee
status, and each such option shall, during such twelve (12) month or shorter
period, be exercisable only to the extent of the number of shares (if any) for
which the option is exercisable on the date of such cessation of employee
status. Under no circumstances, however, shall any such option be exercisable
after the specified expiration date of the option term. Upon the expiration of
such twelve (12) month or shorter period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of
the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be exercisable.
(2) Any option granted to an Optionee under the Plan and exercisable in
whole or in part on the date of the Optionee's death may be subsequently
exercised, but only to the extent of the number of shares (if any) for which the
option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee's cessation of employee
status, by the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or by the person
or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to subsection (b) above,
provided and only if such exercise occurs prior to the earlier of (i) the first
anniversary of the date of the Optionee's death or (ii) the specified expiration
date of the option term. Upon the occurrence of the earlier event, the option
shall terminate and cease to be exercisable.
<PAGE>
-9-
(3) If (i) the Optionee's status as an employee is terminated for cause
(including, but not limited to, any act of dishonesty, willful misconduct, fraud
or embezzlement or any unauthorized disclosure or use of confidential
information or trade secrets) or (ii) the Optionee makes or attempts to make any
unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets of
the Corporation or its subsidiaries, then upon the occurrence of any such event
all outstanding options granted the Optionee under the Plan shall immediately
terminate and cease to be exercisable.
(4) Notwithstanding subsections (1) and (2) above, the Plan Administrator
shall have the discretion to establish as a provision applicable to the exercise
of one or more options granted under the Plan that during the period of
exercisability following cessation of employee status (as provided in such
subsections), the option may be exercised not only with respect to the number of
shares for which it is exercisable at the time of the Optionee's cessation of
employee status but also with respect to one or more installments of purchasable
shares for which the option otherwise could have become exercisable had such
cessation of employee status not occurred.
(5) If the option is granted to a consultant or other independent
contractor, then the instrument evidencing the granted option shall include
provisions comparable to subsections (1), (2) and (3) above, and may include
provisions comparable to subsection (4) above, with respect to the Optionee's
termination of Service.
(d) Repurchase Rights. The shares of Common Stock acquired upon the
exercise of options granted under the Plan may be subject to one or more
repurchase rights of the Corporation in accordance with the following
provisions:
(1) The Plan Administrator may in its discretion determine that it shall be
a term and condition of one or more options granted under the Plan that the
Corporation (or its assigns) shall have the right, exercisable upon the
Optionee's cessation of Service, to repurchase at the original option price any
or all unvested shares of Common Stock at the time held by such individual under
the Plan. Any such repurchase right shall be exercisable by the Corporation (or
its assigns) upon such terms and conditions (including the establishment of the
appropriate vesting schedule and other provisions for the expiration of such
right in one or more installments)
<PAGE>
-10-
as the Plan Administrator may specify in the instrument evidencing such right.
(2) The Plan Administrator shall also have full power and authority to
provide for the automatic termination of the Corporation's outstanding
repurchase rights, in whole and in part, and thereby accelerate the vesting of
any or all purchased shares, upon the occurrence of any Corporate Transaction
specified in Article II, Section 3 below.
(e) Shareholder Rights. An Optionee shall have no shareholder rights with
respect to any shares covered by the option until such Optionee has exercised
the option, paid the option price and been issued a stock certificate for the
purchased shares.
2. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
(a) One or more Optionees may, upon such terms and conditions as the Plan
Administrator may establish at the time of the option grant or at any time
thereafter, be granted the right to surrender all or part of an unexercised
option in exchange for a distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to
the excess of (i) the fair market value (at date of surrender) of the number of
shares in which the Optionee is at the time vested under the surrendered option
or portion thereof over (ii) the aggregate option price payable for such vested
shares. No surrender of an option, however, shall be effective unless it is
approved by the Plan Administrator. If the surrender is so approved, then the
distribution to which the option holder shall accordingly become entitled under
this subsection 2(a) may be made in shares of Common Stock valued at fair market
value at date of surrender, in cash, or partly in shares and partly in cash, as
the Plan Administrator shall in its sole discretion deem appropriate.
(b) If the surrender of an option is rejected by the Plan Administrator,
then the option holder shall retain whatever rights the option holder had under
the surrendered option (or surrendered portion thereof) on the date of surrender
and may exercise such rights at any time prior to the later of (i) the
expiration of the 5 business-day period following receipt of the rejection
notice or (ii) the last day on which the option is otherwise exercisable in
accordance with the terms of the instrument evidencing such option, but in no
event may such rights be exercised at any time after ten (10) years (or five (5)
years in the case of a 10% Shareholder) following the date of the option grant.
<PAGE>
-11-
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, should
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Corporation's outstanding voting stock
be acquired pursuant to a tender or exchange offer (I) which is made by a person
or group of related persons other than the Corporation or a person that directly
or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the
Corporation and (ii) which the Board does not recommend the Corporation's
shareholders to accept (a "Control Acquisition"), then each officer or director
who is subject to the short-swing profit restrictions of the Federal securities
laws shall have the right (exercisable for a period not to exceed thirty (30)
days) to surrender any or all options held by such individual under the Plan, to
the extent such options are at the time exercisable for vested shares, and
receive in exchange an appreciation distribution from the Corporation calculated
in accordance with Section 2(a). The approval of the Plan Administrator shall
not be required for such surrender, and the distribution to which such
individual shall become entitled upon such surrender shall be made entirely in
cash.
3. SALE, MERGER, REORGANIZATION, ETC.
(a) In the event of one or more of the following transactions ("Corporate
Transaction"):
(i) a merger or acquisition in which the Corporation is not the
surviving entity, except for a transaction the principal purpose of which
is to change the State of incorporation;
(ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Corporation; or
(iii) any other business combination in which fifty percent (50%) or
more of the Corporation's outstanding voting stock is transferred to
different holders in a single transaction or a series of related
transactions,
then each option at the time outstanding under the Plan and not then otherwise
fully exercisable shall, immediately prior to the specified effective date for
the Corporate Transaction, become fully exercisable for up to the total number
of shares of Common Stock purchasable under such option and may be exercised for
all or any portion of the shares for which the option is so accelerated.
However, an outstanding option shall not be so accelerated if and to the extent:
(i) such option is in connection with the Corporate Transaction either to be
assumed by the
<PAGE>
-12-
successor corporation (or affiliate thereof) or be replaced with a comparable
option to purchase shares of capital stock of the successor corporation (or
affiliate thereof), such comparability to be determined by the Plan
Administrator, or (ii) the acceleration of such option would, when added to the
present value of certain other payments in the nature of compensation which
become due and payable to the Optionee in connection with the Corporate
Transaction, result in the payment to such individual of an excess parachute
payment under Section 280G(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. The existence of any
such excess parachute payment shall be determined by the Plan Administrator in
the exercise of its reasonable business judgment and on the basis of independent
tax counsel provided the Corporation.
(b) Upon the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding
options under the Plan shall, to the extent not previously exercised or assumed
by the successor corporation (or its affiliate), terminate and cease to be
exercisable.
(c) If the Corporation is the surviving entity in any Corporate Transaction
or the outstanding options under the Plan are to be assumed in connection with
such Corporate Transaction, then each such continuing or assumed option shall be
appropriately adjusted immediately after such Corporate Transaction to apply and
pertain to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to
the Optionee in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, had such option been
exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such Corporate Transaction.
Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the option price payable per
share, provided the aggregate option price shall remain the same. In addition,
the class and number of securities available for issuance under the Plan
following the consummation of such Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately
adjusted.
(d) The grant of options under the Plan shall not affect the right of the
Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

4. [RESERVED]
ARTICLE III
STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM
1. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK ISSUANCES
Shares may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program either through direct
and immediate purchases or through the exercise of options granted under the
Option Grant Program. The issued shares shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock
Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement") that complies with (or incorporates)
each of the terms and conditions of this Article III.
(a) Share Price
(1) The purchase price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator,
but in no event shall it be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair
market value per share of Common Stock on the date of issuance (or, if an option
is utilized, on the grant date of such option). However, if the individual to
whom the share issuance is made is at such time a 10% Shareholder (as defined in
Article II, Section 1(a)(2)), then the purchase price per share shall not be
less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value per share of
Common Stock on the date of issuance (or, if an option is utilized, on the grant
date of such option). Fair market value shall be determined in accordance with
Article II, Section (1)(a)(4); provided, however, if any shares issued under the
Plan are subject to the permanent right of first refusal of the Corporation or
its assigns under subsection 1(d) below, then the fair market value shall be
appropriately adjusted to reflect the effect of such non-lapse restriction.
(2) Shares shall be issued under the Plan for such consideration as the
Plan Administrator shall from time to time determine, provided that in no event
shall shares be issued for consideration other than:
(A) cash or cash equivalents;
(B) shares of Common Stock valued in accordance with Article II,
Section 1(a)(4);
<PAGE>
-14-
(C) a promissory note of the Participant payable to the Corporation's
order, which may be subject to cancellation by the Corporation in whole or
in part upon such terms or conditions as the Plan Administrator shall
specify; or
(D) payment effected through a broker-dealer sale and remittance
procedure pursuant to which the Participant (I) shall provide irrevocable
written instructions to the designated broker-dealer to effect the
immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of
the sale proceeds, an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price payable
for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal and State income and
employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of
such purchase and (II) shall provide written directives to the Corporation
to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such
broker-dealer.
(b) Vesting Schedule
(1) The interest of a Participant in the shares of Common Stock issued to
him under the Plan may, in the absolute discretion of the Plan Administrator, be
fully and immediately vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more
installments in accordance with the vesting provisions of subsection (b)(4).
Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b)(3), the Participant may not
transfer any of the Common Stock in which he does not have a vested interest;
accordingly, all unvested shares issued to him under the Plan shall bear the
restrictive legend specified in subsection (c)(1), until such legend is removed
in accordance with subsection (c)(2). The Participant, however, shall have all
the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued to
him hereunder, whether or not his interest in such shares is at the time vested.
Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to vote such shares and to
receive any cash dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to
such shares. Any new, additional or different shares of stock or other property
(including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which the holder of
unvested Common Stock may have the right to receive by reason of a stock
dividend, stock split or reclassification of Common Stock or by reason of a
merger, consolidation, reorganization or liquidation shall be issued to him,
subject to (i) the same vesting requirements under subsection (b)(4) applicable
to his unvested Common Stock and (ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan
Administrator shall deem appropriate.
<PAGE>
-15-
(2) As used in this Article III, the term "transfer" shall include (without
limitation) any sale, pledge, encumbrance, gift or other disposition of such
shares. However, the Participant shall have the right to make a gift of one or
more shares acquired under the Stock Issuance Program, whether vested or
unvested and whether or not subject to the subsection (d)(1) right of first
refusal, to his spouse, parents or children or to a trust established for such
spouse, parents or children, provided the donee of such shares delivers to the
Corporation a written agreement to be bound by all the provisions of the Plan
and other instruments executed by the Participant to evidence his prior
acquisition of the gifted shares. Any gift made in accordance with the foregoing
limitations shall not trigger the exercise of the Corporation's repurchase
rights under subsection (b)(3) or the Corporation's first refusal rights under
subsection (d)(1).
(3) In the event a Participant should, while his interest in the Common
Stock remains unvested, (i) attempt to transfer (other than by way of a
permissible gift under subsection (b)(2)) any of the unvested Common Stock or
any interest therein or (ii) cease to remain in Service for any reason
whatsoever, then the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase any or all
of the unvested shares at a price equal to the lesser of (i) the original
purchase price paid by the Participant or, if such shares are subject to the
Corporation's permanent first refusal right under subsection (d)(1), (ii) the
fair market value of such shares appropriately discounted to reflect the
Corporation's right of first refusal, and the Participant shall thereafter have
no further shareholder rights with respect to the repurchased shares.
(4) Any shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program
which are not vested at the time of such issuance shall vest in one or more
installments thereafter. The elements of the vesting schedule, namely the number
of installments in which the shares are to vest, the interval or intervals (if
any) which are to lapse between installments and the effect which death,
disability or any other event designated by the Plan Administrator is to have
upon the vesting schedule, shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and
shall be specified in the Purchase Agreement executed by the Corporation and the
Participant at the time of issuance of the unvested shares.
(5) The Plan Administrator may in its discretion elect not to exercise, in
whole or in part, its repurchase rights with respect to any unvested Common
Stock or other as-
<PAGE>
-16-
sets which would otherwise at the time be subject to repurchase
pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b)(3). Such an election shall result
in the immediate vesting of the Participant's interest in the shares of Common
Stock as to which the election applies.
(c) Stock Legends
(1) Each certificate representing unvested shares of Common Stock (or other
securities) issued under the Plan shall bear a restrictive legend substantially
as follows:
"The securities represented by this certificate are subject to
repurchase by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of the
Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement between the Corporation and the
registered holder of the securities (or his predecessor in interest).
Such agreement grants certain repurchase rights to the Corporation in
the event the registered holder (or his predecessor in interest)
terminates his employment or service with the Corporation. A copy of
such agreement is on file at the principal office of the Corporation."
(2) As the interest of the Participant vests with respect to any stock
certificate representing shares acquired under the Stock Issuance Program, the
Corporation shall, upon the Participant's delivery of such certificate during
the period or periods designated each year by the Plan Administrator, issue a
new certificate for the vested shares without the restrictive legend of
subsection (c)(1) and a second certificate for the balance of the shares with
such legend. If the Corporation repurchases any unvested shares of the
Participant pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b)(3), the Corporation
shall at the time the repurchase is effected deliver a new certificate, without
the restrictive legend of subsection (c)(1), representing the number of shares
(if any) in which the Participant is vested and which are accordingly no longer
subject to repurchase by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of
subsection (b)(3).
(d) Permanent Right of First Refusal
(1) Any and all shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program may, in the
discretion of the Plan Administrator, be subject to a permanent right of first
refusal exercisable by the Corporation or its assigns. Should shares subject to
such restriction be issued, then the Participant (and each
<PAGE>
-17-
successor in interest or transferee of the shares) must, prior to any subsequent
sale or other transfer of the shares for value, first offer to sell the shares
to the Corporation or its assigns at a price determined in accordance with the
following formula:
X = M - D, where
X is the price at which the Corporation or its assigns may repurchase
the shares,
M is the fair market value of the shares on the date of repurchase,
determined in accordance with the provisions of Article II, Section
1(a)(4), without regard to the Corporation's permanent right of first
refusal, and
D is the appropriate price differential determined by the Plan
Administrator in its sole discretion at the time the shares are issued
and set forth in the written instrument evidencing such right.
(2) Each stock certificate representing shares subject to the subsection
(d)(1) right of first refusal shall be appropriately legended to disclose the
perpetual existence of such right, and all transferees of the shares shall
accordingly take the shares subject to the terms and provisions of the
Corporation's permanent right of first refusal.
(3) The remaining terms and provisions of the permanent right of first
refusal shall be determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion and
specified in the written instrument evidencing such right.
(4) The Plan Administrator may, at any time in its sole discretion, cancel
(upon such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate) the Corporation's
rights of first refusal with respect to one or more shares issued with such
restrictions under the Share Issuance Program.

ARTICLE IV
MISCELLANEOUS
1. INVESTMENT PURPOSE
If necessary or advisable to comply with applicable Federal or State
securities laws, any option granted, or shares issued, under the Plan may be
granted or issued on the condition that the Optionee or Participant agrees that
the shares of Common Stock purchased thereunder are for investment purposes only
and not for resale or distribution and that such shares shall be disposed of
only in accordance with such laws. As a condition to issuance of any shares
purchased upon the exercise of any option granted, or shares issued, pursuant to
the Plan, the Optionee or Participant, or his executor, administrator, heir,
legatee or transferee (as the case may be) receiving such shares may be required
to deliver to the Corporation an instrument, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Corporation and its counsel, implementing such agreement. Any such
condition may be eliminated by the Plan Administrator if the Plan Administrator
determines it is no longer necessary or advisable.
2. LOANS OR GUARANTEE OF LOANS
The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, assist any Optionee or
Participant (including an Optionee or Participant who is an officer or director
of the Corporation) in the exercise of one or more options granted to such
Optionee under the Article II Option Grant Program or the purchase of one or
more shares issued to such Participant under the Article III Stock Issuance
Program, including the satisfaction of any Federal and State income and
employment tax obligations arising therefrom, by (i) authorizing the extension
of a loan from the Corporation to such Optionee or Participant, (ii) permitting
the Optionee or Participant to pay the option price or purchase price for the
purchased Common Stock in installments over a period of years, or (iii)
authorizing a guarantee by the Corporation of a third-party loan to the Optionee
or Participant. The terms of any loan, installment method of payment or
guarantee (including the interest rate and terms of repayment) shall be upon
such terms as the Plan Administrator specifies in the stock option agreement or
restricted stock purchase agreement. Such loans, installment payments and
guarantees may be granted with or without security or collateral, but the
maximum credit available to the Optionee or Participant may not exceed (A) the
aggregate option price or purchase price for the shares (less
<PAGE>
-19-
their par value, which must in all events be paid in cash) plus (B) any Federal
and State income and employment tax liability incurred by the Optionee or
Participant in connection with such exercise or purchase.
3. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND AWARDS
(a) The Board has complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or
modify the Plan (or any component thereof) in any or all respects whatsoever;
provided, however, that no such amendment or modification may adversely affect
rights and obligations of an option holder with respect to options at the time
outstanding under the Plan, nor adversely affect the rights of any Participant
with respect to Common Stock issued under the Plan prior to such action, unless
the Optionee or Participant consents to such amendment. In addition, the Board
may not, without the approval of the Corporation's shareholders, amend the Plan
to (i) increase the maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan (except for
permissible adjustments under Article I, Section 5(c)), (ii) materially increase
the benefits accruing to individuals who participate in the Plan, or (iii)
materially modify the eligibility requirements for participation in the Plan.
(b) Options may be granted under the Plan to purchase shares of Common
Stock in excess of the number of shares then available for issuance under the
Plan, provided (i) an amendment to increase the maximum number of shares
issuable under the Plan is adopted by the Board prior to the initial grant of
any such option and is thereafter submitted to the Corporation's shareholders
for approval and (ii) each option so granted is not to become exercisable, in
whole or in part, at any time prior to the obtaining of such shareholder
approval.
4. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN
(a) The Plan as initially implemented became effective on December 23,
1983, upon the issuance of 92,000 shares of Common Stock subject to the
Corporation's permanent rights refusal under Article III, Section 1(d). The Plan
was restated in April 1987 and approved by the Corporation's shareholders at the
1987 Annual Meeting. At the 1989 Annual Meeting, the Corporation's shareholders
approved an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable over the
term of the Plan from 200,000 shares to 300,000 shares. The Plan was restated in
1990 and approved in 1991 to extend its term to December 15, 2003 and to
increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable over the term of the Plan
to 550,000 shares, again in 1992
<PAGE>
-20-
to increase the number of shares to 1,000,000 shares, and again in 1996 to
increase the number of shares to 1,250,000 shares. This new restatement of the
Plan was adopted by the Board on October 30, 1996 and was approved by the
Corporation's shareholders at the 1997 Annual Meeting.
(b) The provisions of this restated and amended Plan shall apply only to
option grants and share issuances effected under the Plan from and after the
October 30, 1996 effective date. All option grants and share issuances effected
under the Plan prior to such effective date shall continue to be governed by the
terms and conditions of the Plan (and the respective instruments evidencing each
such grant or issuance) as in effect on the date the option grant or share
issuance was previously made, and nothing in this October 30, 1996 restatement
shall be deemed to affect or otherwise modify the rights or obligations of the
holders of such option grants or share issuances with respect to the shares of
Common Stock subject thereto.
(c) Unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section 3 of Article II,
the Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) December 15, 2003 or (ii) the
date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan have been issued
or cancelled pursuant to the exercise or surrender of options granted under
Article II or pursuant to the issuance of shares under Article III. If the date
of termination is determined under clause (i) above, then all options
outstanding on such date under Article II and all shares issued and outstanding
on such date under Article III shall not be affected by the termination of the
Plan and will thereafter continue to have force and effect in accordance with
the provisions of the stock option agreements evidencing such Article II options
and the stock purchase agreements evidencing the issuance of such Article III
shares.
5. USE OF PROCEEDS
Any cash proceeds received by the Corporation from the issuance of shares
of Common Stock hereunder shall be used for general corporate purposes.
6. WITHHOLDING
The Corporation's obligation to deliver shares upon the exercise or
surrender of any options granted under Article II or upon the purchase of any
shares issued under Article III shall be subject to the satisfaction of all
applicable Federal,
<PAGE>
-21-
State and local income and employment tax withholding requirements.
7. REGULATORY APPROVALS
The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any option under the Option
Grant Program, the issuance of any shares under the Stock Issuance Program, and
the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise or surrender of the option grants
made hereunder shall be subject to the Corporation's procurement of all
approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction
over the Plan, the options granted under it, and the Common Stock issued
pursuant to it.

shares
XOMA Corporation (the "Company") has granted you a non-qualified option to
purchase the number of shares of Common Stock shown in item (C) above (the
"Optioned Shares") at the Exercise Price per share shown in item (G) above. This
option is subject to the terms of the Company's Restricted Stock Plan, as
amended and restated through October 30, 1996 (the "Plan") and to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement Under the XOMA
Corporation Restricted Stock Plan (the "Agreement").
The details of your option are as follows:
1. Term; Transfer. The term of this option commences on the Grant Date
shown in item (B) above and, except as provided in Section 3 and Subsection 5(a)
hereof, expires at the close of business on the Expiration Date shown in item
(F) above, which is 10 years from the Grant Date.
This option may be transferred or assigned to your spouse or descendent
(any such spouse or descendent, your "Immediate Family Member") or a
corporation, partnership, limited liability company or trust so long as all of
the shareholders, partners, members or beneficiaries thereof, as the case may
be, are either you or your Immediate Family Member, provided that (i) there may
be no consideration for any such transfer and
<PAGE>
-2-
(ii) subsequent transfers of the transferred option will be prohibited other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Following transfer, the
option will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were
applicable immediately prior to transfer, provided that for purposes of this
Agreement any references to "you" will refer to the transferee. The events of
termination of employment will continue to be applied with respect to you,
following which the option will be exercisable by the transferee only to the
extent, and for the periods specified, in this Agreement.
2. Exercise Schedule. Provided that you remain an employee of the Company
(as determined in accordance with Subsection 3(e) hereof), the option granted
herein will become exercisable in accordance with the following schedule:
(a) This option will become exercisable with respect to 20% of the Optioned
Shares after the expiration of one year from the Grant Date;
(b) This option will become exercisable with respect to an additional 20%
of the Optioned Shares after the expiration of two years from the Grant Date;
(c) This option will become exercisable with respect to an additional 20%
of the Optioned Shares three years from the Grant Date;
(d) This option will become exercisable with respect to an additional 20%
of the Optioned Shares four years from the Grant Date; and,
(e) This option will become exercisable with respect to the remaining 20%
of the Optioned Shares after the expiration of five years from the Grant Date.
Exercisable installments may be exercised in whole or in part in increments
of 25 or more shares and, to the extent not exercised, will accumulate and be
exercisable at any time on or before the Expiration Date or sooner termination
of the option term.
3. Termination of Option Term. The option term specified in Section 1 will
terminate (and this option will cease to be exercisable) prior to the Expiration
Date should one of the following provisions become applicable:
<PAGE>
-3-
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Subsections (b), (c) and (d) below, if
you cease to be an employee of the Company at any time during the option term,
then the period for exercising this option will be limited to the three-month
period commencing with the date of such cessation of employee status; provided
that in no event will this option be exercisable at any time after the
Expiration Date. During such limited period of exercisability, this option may
not be exercised for more than the number of Optioned Shares (if any) for which
it is exercisable at the date of your cessation of employee status. Upon the
expiration of such limited period of exercisability or (if earlier) upon the
Expiration Date, this option will terminate and cease to be outstanding.
(b) If you die while this option is outstanding, then the personal
representative of your estate or the person or persons to whom the option is
transferred pursuant to your will, in accordance with the laws of descent and
distribution, or pursuant to Section 1 above, will have the right to exercise
this option, but only with respect to the number of Optioned Shares (if any) for
which it is exercisable at the date of your death. Such right will lapse, and
this option will cease to be exercisable, upon the earlier of (i) the expiration
of the one-year period measured from the date of your death or (ii) the
specified Expiration Date of the option term.
(c) If you become permanently disabled and cease by reason thereof to be an
employee of the Company at any time during the option term, then you will have a
period of twelve months (commencing with the date of such cessation of employee
status) during which to exercise this option; provided, however, that in no
event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.
During such limited period of exercisability, this option may not be exercised
for more than the number of Optioned Shares (if any) for which this option is
exercisable at the date of your cessation of employee status. Upon the
expiration of such limited period of exercisability or (if earlier) upon the
Expiration Date, this option will terminate and cease to be outstanding. You
will be deemed to be permanently disabled if you are, by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment expected to result in death or to be
of continuous duration of not less than twelve consecutive months or more,
unable to perform your usual duties for the Company or its subsidiaries.
(d) Should (i) your status as an employee be terminated for cause
(including, but not limited to, any act of dishonesty, willful misconduct, fraud
or embezzlement or any unau-
<PAGE>
-4-
thorized disclosure or use of confidential information or trade secrets), or
(ii) you make or attempt to make any unauthorized use or disclosure of
confidential information or trade secrets of the Company or its subsidiaries,
then in any such event this option will terminate and cease to be exercisable
immediately upon the date of such termination of employee status or such
unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential or secret information or attempt
thereat.
(e) For purposes of this Agreement, you will be deemed to be an employee of
the Company for so long as you remain in the employ of the Company or one or
more of its subsidiaries. A corporation will be deemed to be a subsidiary of the
Company if it is a member of an unbroken chain of corporations beginning with
the Company, provided that each such corporation in the chain (other than the
last corporation) owns, at the time of determination, stock possessing 50% or
more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock in one of the
other corporations in such chain.
4. Adjustment in Option Shares.
(a) If any change is made to the Common Stock issuable under the Plan,
whether by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
recapitalization or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a
class without receipt of consideration, then appropriate adjustments will be
made to (i) the total number of Optioned Shares subject to this option and (ii)
the Exercise Price payable per share, in order to reflect such change and
thereby preclude the dilution or enlargement of benefits under this Agreement.
The adjustments determined by the plan administrator (the "Plan Administrator")
will be final, binding and conclusive.
(b) If the Company is the surviving entity in any merger or other business
combination, then this option, if outstanding under the Plan immediately after
such merger or other business combination, will be appropriately adjusted to
apply and pertain to the number and class of securities which the holder of the
same number of shares of Common Stock as are subject to this option immediately
prior to such merger or other business combination would have been entitled to
receive in the consummation of such merger or other business combination, and an
appropriate adjustment will be made to the Exercise Price payable per share,
provided the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder will remain the same.
5. Corporate Transaction.
<PAGE>
-5-
(a) In the event of one or more of the following transactions ("Corporate
Transaction"):
(i) a merger or acquisition in which the Company is not the surviving
entity, except for a transaction the principal purpose of which is to
change the State of the Company's incorporation,
(ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, or
(iii) any other corporate reorganization or business combination in
which fifty percent (50%) or more of the Company's outstanding voting stock
is transferred to different holders in a single transaction or a series of
related transactions,
then the exercisability of this option will automatically be accelerated so that
such option may be exercised simultaneously with consummation of such Corporate
Transaction for any or all of the Optioned Shares. No such acceleration of this
option will occur, however, if and to the extent: (x) the terms of the agreement
provide as a prerequisite to the consummation of such Corporate Transaction that
outstanding options under the Plan (including this option) are to be assumed by
the successor corporation or parent thereof or are to be replaced with the
comparable options to purchase shares of capital stock of the successor
corporation or parent thereof, such comparability to be determined by the Plan
Administrator, or (y) the acceleration of this option would, when added to the
present value of certain other payments in the nature of compensation which
become due and payable to you in connection with the Corporate Transaction,
result in the payment to you of excess parachute payments under Section 280G(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code. The existence of such excess parachute payments
will be determined by the Plan Administrator in the exercise of its reasonable
business judgment and on the basis of tax counsel provided to the Company.
Immediately following consummation of the Corporate Transaction, this option
will, to the extent not previously exercised or assumed by the successor
corporation or its parent company, terminate and cease to be exercisable.
(b) The Plan Administrator will use its best efforts to provide you with
written notice of a Corporate Transaction at least ten business days prior to
the effective date.
(c) This Agreement will not in any way affect the right of the Company to
adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise
<PAGE>
-6-
make changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate,
dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or
assets.
6. Privilege of Stock Ownership. The holder of this option will not have
any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Optioned Shares until such
individual has exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and been issued a
stock certificate for the purchased shares.
7. Manner of Exercising Option.
(a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any part of the
Optioned Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable, you (or in the
case of exercise after your death, your executor, administrator, heir, legatee
or transferee as the case may be) must take the following actions:
(i) Provide the Secretary of the Company with written notice of such
exercise, specifying the number of Optioned Shares with respect to which
the option is being exercised.
(ii) Pay the Exercise Price for the purchased Optioned Shares in one
or more of the following alternative forms: (A) full payment in cash or by
check payable to the Company's order; (B) full payment in shares of Common
Stock of the Company valued at fair market value on the exercise date (as
such terms are defined below); (C) full payment in combination of shares of
Common Stock of the Company valued at fair market value on the exercise
date and cash or check payable to the Company's order; (D) payment effected
through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which you
(I) will provide irrevocable written instructions to the designated
broker-dealer to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and
remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds, an amount equal to the
aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares plus all
applicable Federal and State income and employment taxes required to be
withheld by the Company by reason of such purchase and (II) will provide
written directives to the Company to deliver the certificates for the
purchased shares directly to such broker-dealer; or, to the extent the Plan
Administrator specifically authorizes such method of payment at the time of
exercise, (E) payment by a full-recourse promissory note. Any such
promissory note authorized by the Plan Administrator will be substantially
in the form approved by the
<PAGE>
-7-
Plan Administrator, will bear interest at the minimum per annum rate
necessary to avoid the imputation of interest income to the Company and
compensation income to you under the Federal tax laws and will become due
in full (in one or more consecutive annual installments measured from the
execution date of the note) not later than the Expiration Date of this
option. Payment of the note will be secured by the pledge of the purchased
shares, and the pledged shares will be released only as the note is paid.
(iii) Furnish to the Company appropriate documentation that the person
or persons exercising the option, if other than you, have the right to
exercise this option.
(b) For purposes of Subsection 7(a) hereof, the fair market value per share
of Common Stock on any relevant date will be determined in accordance with
Subsections (i) through (iii) below, and the exercise date will be the date on
which you exercise this option in compliance with the provisions of Subsection
7(a).
(i) If the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any
stock exchange on the date in question, but is traded in the
over-the-counter market, the fair market value will be the closing selling
price per share of such stock on such date, as such price is reported by
the National Association of Securities Dealers through its Nasdaq National
Market. If there is no reported closing selling price of the stock on the
date in question then the closing selling price on the last preceding date
for which such quotation exists will be determinative of fair market value.
(ii) If the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading on any stock
exchange on the date in question, the fair market value will be the closing
selling price per share of such stock on such date on the stock exchange
determined by the Plan Administrator to be the primary market for such
stock, as such price is officially quoted on such exchange. If there is no
reported closing selling price of such stock on such exchange on the date
in question, the fair market value will be the closing selling price on the
exchange on the last preceding date for which such quotation exists.
(iii) If the Common Stock is neither listed nor admitted to trading on
any stock exchange nor traded in the over-the-counter market on the date in
question or if the
<PAGE>
-8-
Plan Administrator determines that the quotations under Subsections (i) or
(ii) above do not accurately reflect the fair market value of such stock,
the fair market value will be determined by the Plan Administrator after
taking into account such factors as the Plan Administrator may deem
appropriate, including one or more independent professional appraisals.
(c) In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional share.
8. Compliance with Laws and Regulations.
(a) The exercise of this option and the issuance of Optioned Shares upon
such exercise will be subject to compliance by the Company and by you with all
applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable
regulations of any stock exchange on which shares of the Company's Common Stock
may be listed at the time of such exercise and issuance.
(b) In connection with the exercise of this option, you will execute and
deliver to the Company such representations in writing as may be requested by
the Company in order for it to comply with the applicable requirements of
Federal and State securities laws.
9. Restrictive Legends. If and to the extent any Optioned Shares acquired
under this option are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, the stock
certificates for such Optioned Shares will be endorsed with restrictive legends,
including (without limitation) the following:
"The Shares represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933. The shares have been acquired for
investment and may not be sold or offered for sale in the absence of
(a) an effective registration statement for the shares under such Act,
(b) a 'no action' letter of the Securities and Exchange Commission with
respect to such sale or offer, or (c) an opinion of counsel to the
Company that registration under such Act is not required with respect
to such sale or offer."
10. Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in
Section 1 and Subsection 5(a), the provisions of this Agreement will inure to
the benefit of, and be binding upon your successors, administrators, heirs,
legal representa-
<PAGE>
-9-
tives and assigns and the successors and assigns of the Company.
11. Liability of the Company.
(a) If the Optioned Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of the
Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may without shareholder
approval be issued under the Plan, then this option will be void with respect to
such excess shares unless shareholder approval of an amendment sufficiently
increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan is
obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
(b) The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory
body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option will relieve the
Company of any liability in respect of the non-issuance or sale of such stock as
to which such approval will not have been obtained.
12. No Employment Contract. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan will
confer upon you any right to continue in the employ of the Company for any
period of time or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of
the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company employing you) or you, which
rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate your employee status,
at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.
13. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company
under the terms of this Agreement will be in writing and addressed to the
Company in care of its Secretary at its corporate offices. Any notice required
to be given or delivered to you will be in writing and addressed to you at the
address indicated below your signature line herein. All notices will be deemed
to be given or delivered upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S.
mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.
14. Construction. This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby are made
and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject
to the express terms and provisions of the Plan. Any dispute regarding the
interpretation of this Agreement will be submitted to the Plan Administrator for
resolution. The decision of the Plan Administrator will be final, binding and
conclusive. Questions regarding
<PAGE>
-10-
this option or the Plan should be referred to the Paralegal Assistant in the
Legal Department.
15. Governing Law. The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of this
Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California.
16. Tax Arrangements. You hereby agree to make appropriate arrangements
with the Company or subsidiary thereof by which you are employed for the
satisfaction of all Federal, State or local income tax withholding requirements
and Federal social security employee tax requirements applicable to the exercise
of this option.

<PAGE>
-2-
1.3 Stockholder Rights. As soon as reasonably practicable following receipt
of the Section 1.2 payment, the Corporation shall issue a stock certificate for
the Purchased Shares to the Purchaser. Upon such issuance and until such time as
the Corporation actually exercises its repurchase rights under this Agreement,
Purchaser (or any successor in interest) shall have all the rights of a
stockholder (including voting and dividend rights) with respect to the Purchased
Shares, subject, however, to the transfer restrictions of Article II.
II. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
2.1 Restriction on Transfer. Purchaser shall not transfer, assign, encumber
or otherwise dispose of any of the Purchased Shares which are subject to the
Corporation's Repurchase Right under Article III or the Corporation's First
Refusal Right under Article IV. Such restrictions on transfer, however, shall
not be applicable to (i) a gratuitous transfer of the Purchased Shares made to
the Purchaser's spouse or issue, including adopted children, or to a trust for
the exclusive benefit of the Purchaser or the Purchaser's spouse or issue, (ii)
a transfer of title to the Purchased Shares effected pursuant to the Purchaser's
will or the laws of interstate succession, or (iii) a transfer to the
Corporation in pledge as security for any purchase-money indebtedness incurred
in the acquisition of the Purchased Shares.
2.2 Transferee Obligations. Each person (other than the Corporation) to
whom the Purchased Shares are transferred by means of one of the permitted
transfers specified in Section 2.1 must, as a condition precedent to the
validity of such transfer, acknowledge in writing to the Corporation that such
person is bound by the provisions of this Agreement and that the transferred
shares are subject to both the Corporation's Repurchase Right and the
Corporation's First Refusal Right created hereunder, to the same extent such
shares would be so subject if retained by the Purchaser.
2.3 Definition of Owner. For purposes of Articles III and IV, the term
"Owner" shall include the Purchaser and all subsequent holders of the Purchased
Shares who derive their chain of ownership through a permitted transfer from the
Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.1.
<PAGE>
-3-
III. REPURCHASE RIGHT
3.1 Grant. The Corporation is hereby granted the right (the "Repurchase
Right"), exercisable at any time during the sixty (60)-day period following the
date the Purchaser ceases for any reason to be an Employee of the Corporation or
(if later) during the sixty (60)-day period following the date of this
Agreement, to repurchase at the lesser of (i) the Purchase Price or (ii) the
fair market value of the Purchased Shares (adjusted to reflect the formula price
restrictions of Section 4.4) any or all of the Purchased Shares in which the
Purchaser has not acquired a vested interest in accordance with the vesting
provisions of Section 3.3 (such shares to be hereinafter called the "Unvested
Shares"). For purposes of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall be deemed to be an
Employee of the Corporation for so long as the Purchaser remains an active
employee of the Corporation or any subsidiary corporation (as defined in Section
5.4).
3.2 Exercise of the Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall be
exercisable by written notice delivered to the Owner of the Unvested Shares
prior to the expiration of the sixty (60)-day period specified in Section 3.1.
The notice shall indicate the number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased and
the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, such date to be not more
than thirty (30) days after the date of notice. Prior to the close of business
on the date specified for the repurchase, the Owner shall deliver to the
Secretary of the Corporation the certificates representing the Unvested Shares
to be repurchased, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer. The
Corporation shall concurrently with the receipt of such stock certificates pay
to the Owner, in cash or cash equivalents (including the cancellation of any
outstanding purchase-money indebtedness), an amount equal to the Purchase Price
previously paid for the Unvested Shares which are to be repurchased. Such
Unvested Shares shall thereupon be canceled and cease to be issued and
outstanding shares of the Corporation's common stock.
3.3 Termination of the Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall
terminate, and the Owner shall accordingly vest in the Purchased Shares, in
accordance with the following provisions:
(a) The Repurchase Right shall terminate with respect to any Unvested
Shares for which it is not timely exercised under Section 3.2.
<PAGE>
-4-
(b) The Repurchase Right shall terminate, and cease to be exercisable, with
respect to any and all Purchased Shares in which the Purchaser vests in
accordance with the schedule below. Accordingly, provided the Purchaser
continues to be an Employee of the Corporation, the Purchaser shall acquire a
vested interest in, and the Repurchase Right shall lapse with respect to, one or
more Purchased Shares in accordance with the following vesting provisions:
(i) The Purchaser shall not acquire any vested interest in, nor shall the
Repurchase Right lapse with respect to, any Purchased Shares during the initial
__________ (_) calendar month period measured from the Grant Date of the Option.
(ii) Upon the expiration of such initial ________ (_)-month period, the
Purchaser shall acquire a vested interest in, and the Repurchase Right shall
lapse with respect to, that number of Purchased Shares equal to
_________________ percent (_%) of the Total Purchasable Shares under the Option
(without adjustment for shares already Purchased pursuant to such Option).
(iii) The Purchaser shall acquire a vested interest in, and the Repurchase
Right shall lapse with respect to, the remaining Purchased Shares in a series of
____________ (__)consecutive monthly installments, each equal to _____________
(__) of the Purchased Shares, with the first such installment to vest at the end
of the _____________ (__) calendar month period measured from the Grant Date.
3.4 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be repurchased by the
Corporation. Accordingly, should the Repurchase Right extend to a fractional
share (in accordance with the vesting computation provisions of Section 3.3) at
the time the Purchaser ceases to be an Employee of the Corporation, then such
fractional share shall be added to any fractional share in which the Purchaser
is then vested in order to make one whole vested share no longer subject to the
Repurchase Right.
3.5 Additional Shares or Substituted Securities. Should any change be made
to the Corporation's outstanding Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend,
stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other transaction
affecting the Corporation's outstanding Common Stock as a class without receipt
of consideration, then any new, substituted or additional securities or other
property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which is
by reason of any such transaction distributed with respect to the Purchased
<PAGE>
-5-
Shares shall be immediately subject to the Repurchase Right, but only to the
extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right, and
appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or
property shall be made to the number of Purchased Shares for all purposes
relating to the Repurchase Right, and the Corporation (or its successor) may
require the establishment of an escrow account for any money (other than cash
dividends) distributed with respect to the Purchased Shares covered by the
Repurchase Right in order to facilitate the exercise of such right. Appropriate
adjustments shall also be made to the price per share to be paid upon the
exercise of the Repurchase Right in order to reflect the effect of any such
transaction upon the Corporation's capital structure; provided, however, that
the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.
3.6 Permanent Right of First Refusal. Any shares in which the Purchaser
acquires a vested interest under this Article III may not be transferred,
assigned, encumbered or otherwise made the subject of disposition in
contravention of the Corporation's First Refusal Right under Article IV.
IV. PERMANENT RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
4.1 Grant. The Corporation is hereby granted a permanent right of first
refusal ("First Refusal Right") with respect to each and every proposed
disposition of the Purchased Shares by the Purchaser, other than a permitted
transfer under Section 2.1. The First Refusal Right shall be a permanent
restriction on the Purchased Shares and shall accordingly bind the Purchaser,
any other Owner of the Purchased Shares and each and every other holder of
record of the Purchased Shares, all of whom shall be collectively referred to in
this Article IV as the "Holder."
4.2 Notice of Intended Disposition. In the event the Holder desires to sell
or otherwise transfer for value any or all of the Purchased Shares which are
vested pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.3 (the vested shares which are
the subject of such offer to be hereinafter called, solely for purposes of this
Article IV, the "Target Shares"), the Holder shall promptly deliver to the
Secretary of the Corporation written notice of such intention, including the
number of Purchased Shares the Holder wishes to sell and a summary of the terms
and conditions of any bona fide third-party offer received for the shares (the
"Disposition Notice").
<PAGE>
-6-
4.3 Exercise of Right. The Corporation (or its assigns) shall, for a period
of sixty (60) days following receipt of the Disposition Notice under paragraph
4.2, have the right to repurchase all of the Target Shares specified in the
Disposition Notice at a price per share determined in accordance with the
Section 4.4 formula. Such right shall be exercisable by written notice delivered
to the Holder prior to the expiration of the sixty (60) day exercise period. If
such right is exercised, the Corporation (or its assigns) shall effect the
repurchase of the Target Shares, including payment of the formula price, not
more than sixty (60) days thereafter; and at such time the Holder shall deliver
to the Corporation the certificates representing the Target Shares to be
repurchased, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer.
4.4 Formula Price. The price per share at which the Corporation may
exercise its First Refusal Right under Section 4.3 shall be determined in
accordance with the following formula:
X = M - $ __ , where
X = the price per share at which the Corporation may repurchase the Target
Shares, and
M = the fair market value per share of the Target Shares (determined under
Section 4.7 without regard to the Corporation's permanent First Refusal Right)
on the date immediately preceding the date such right is exercised.
4.5 Non-Exercise of Right. In the event the Exercise Notice is not given to
the Holder within sixty (60) days following the date of the Corporation's
receipt of the Disposition Notice, the Holder shall have a period of fifteen
(15) days thereafter in which to sell or otherwise dispose of the Target Shares
(I) at a price not less than that, and on terms no more favorable than those,
set forth in the Disposition Notice or, if no terms are set forth in the
Disposition Notice, (II) for a current cash payment equal to the fair market
value (adjusted to reflect the First Refusal Right) of the Target Shares. The
third-party purchaser and all subsequent purchasers of the Target Shares shall
acquire the Target Shares subject to the First Refusal Right under this Article
IV. In the event the Holder does not effect an authorized sale or other
disposition of the Target Shares within the specified fifteen (15) day period,
the Holder must once again provide the requisite Section 4.2 notice prior to any
subsequent disposition of the Purchased Shares.
<PAGE>
-7-
4.6 Recapitalization. In the event of any stock dividends stock split,
recapitalization or other transaction affecting the Corporation's outstanding
securities without receipt of consideration, then any new, substituted or
additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as a
cash dividend) which is by reason of such transaction distributed with respect
to the Purchased Shares shall be immediately subject to the Corporation's First
Refusal Rights under this Article IV, but only to the extent the Shares are at
the time covered by such right.
4.7 Valuation. For purposes of determining the Section 4.4 formula price,
the fair market value per share of the Target Shares or the relevant valuation
date shall be determined as follows:
(i) If the Corporation's common stock is not at the time listed or admitted
to trading on any stock exchange, but is traded in the over-the-counter market,
the fair market value shall be the closing selling price of one share of such
common stock on the valuation date in the over-the-counter market, as such price
is quoted on the NASDAQ National Market System. If there are no reported closing
selling price for the valuation date, then the closing selling price on the last
date preceding the valuation date for which such price is granted shall be
determinative of fair market value.
(ii) If the Corporation's common stock is at the time listed or admitted to
trading on any stock exchange, the fair market value shall be the closing
selling price of one share of common stock on the valuation date on the stock
exchange determined by the Plan Administrator to be the primary market for the
common stock, as such price is officially quoted on such exchange. If there is
no reported sale of common stock on such exchange on the valuation date, then
the fair market value shall be the closing selling price on the exchange on the
last date preceding the valuation date for which such quotation exists.
4.8 Nonlapse. The First Refusal Right under this Article IV is intended to
be a "restriction which by its terms will never lapse" within the meaning of
Section 83(d) of the Internal Revenue Code and shall accordingly be binding upon
each and every Holder of the Purchased Shares.
4.9 Transferee Obligations. Each person to whom the Target Shares are
transferred by means of a transfer effected in accordance with this Article IV
must as a condition prece-
<PAGE>
-8-
dent to the validity of such transfer acknowledge in writing to the Corporation
that such person is bound by the provisions of this Agreement and that the
transferred shares shall remain subject to the Corporation's First Refusal Right
hereunder.
V. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO REPURCHASE RIGHT AND FIRST REFUSAL RIGHT.
5.1 Assignment. The Corporation may assign its Repurchase Right under
Article III and/or its First Refusal Right under Article IV to any person or
entity selected by the Corporation's Board of Directors, including (without
limitation) one or more shareholders of the Corporation.
If the assignee of the Repurchase Right is other than a subsidiary
corporation of the Corporation, then such assignee must make a cash payment to
the Corporation, upon the assignment of the Repurchase Right, in an amount equal
to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of the Unvested Shares at the
time subject to the Repurchase Right and the aggregate repurchase price payable
for such Unvested Shares.
5.2 Notices. Any notice required in connection with the exercise of the
Corporation's Repurchase Right or First Refusal Right shall be given in writing
and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the

the party entitled to such notice at the address indicated below such party's
signature line on this Agreement or at such other address as such party may
designate by 10 days advance written notice under this Section 5.2 to all other
parties to this Agreement.
5.3 No Waiver. The failure of the Corporation (or its assigns) in any
instance to exercise the Repurchase Right granted under Article III or the First
Refusal Right under Article IV shall not constitute a waiver of any other
repurchase rights or rights of first refusal that may subsequently arise under
the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement with the Corporation. No
waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a
waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition, whether of like or
different nature.
5.4 Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, each corporation (other
than the Corporation) in an unbroken
<PAGE>
-9-
chain of corporations beginning with the Corporation shall be considered to be a
subsidiary of the Corporation, provided each such corporation (other than the
last corporation) in the unbroken chain owns, at the time of the determination,
stock possessing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total combined voting power
of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.
5.5 Cancellation of Shares. If the Corporation (or its assigns) shall make
available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this
Agreement, the consideration for the Purchased Shares to be repurchased in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then from and after such time,
the person from whom such shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any
rights as a holder of such shares (other than the right to receive payment of
such consideration in accordance with this Agreement) and such shares shall be
deemed purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof and the
Corporation (or its assigns) shall be deemed the owner and holder of such
shares, whether or not the certificates therefor have been delivered as required
by this Agreement.
5.6 Legend. All certificates representing the Purchased Shares shall be
endorsed with the following legend:
"THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE SOLD,
ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED, OR IN ANY MANNER DISPOSED OF EXCEPT
IN CONFORMITY WITH THE TERMS OF A WRITTEN AGREEMENT, DATED

INTERNATIONAL GENETIC ENGINEERING, INC.
1985 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN
1. ESTABLISHMENT, PURPOSE, AND DEFINITIONS.
(a) There is hereby established the 1985 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan") of International Genetic Engineering, Inc. (the "Company"). The
Plan permits the granting to "significant employees or consultants," (as
hereinafter defined) of stock options ("Options"). These Options are not
intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (the "Code").
(b) The purpose of this Plan is to provide a means by which significant
employees and consultants of the Company or its affiliates may be given an
opportunity to purchase shares of the Common Stock of the Company (the "Stock")
pursuant to Options.
(c) In the absence of contrary action by the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Board"), any action taken by the Board, or by the committee of
directors appointed by the Board to administer the Plan (such committee being
hereinafter referred to as the "Committee") with respect to the implementation,
interpretation or administration of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and
binding. The Committee shall have authority to grant options, to establish the
terms and conditions thereof and otherwise to act for the Company with respect
to the Plan, except as provided in Paragraph 9.
(d) The term "affiliates" as used in the Plan means parent or subsidiary
corporations of the Company, as defined in section 425 of the Code (but
substituting "Company" for "employer corporation"), including parents or
subsidiaries which become such after adoption of the Plan. The term "significant
employees and consultants" shall mean one or more employees, officers,
consultants or directors of the Company or its affiliates who, in the judgment
of the Committee or the Board (as hereinafter defined), render those types of
services which tend to contribute materially to the success of the Company or
which may reasonably be anticipated to contribute materially to the future
success of the company.
2. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.
(a) Options may be granted under this Plan from time to time to significant
employees and consultants to purchase an aggregate of no more than 550,000
shares of Stock. As the Committee or the Board may determine from time to time,
the shares may consist either in whole or in part of shares of authorized but
unissued Stock, or shares of authorized and issued Stock reacquired by the
Company and held in its treasury. If an Option ceases to be exercisable in whole
or in part, the shares which were subject to such Option, but as to which the
-2-
<PAGE>
Option had not been exercised, shall continue to be available for granting under
the Plan.
(b) It there shall be any change in the Stock subject to this Plan or the
Stock subject to any Option granted hereunder, through merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock split, stock dividend,
or other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company (including
a liquidating dividend but not an ordinary and reasonable dividend), that event
shall simultaneously, and without any further action by the Committee or the
Board, cause appropriate adjustments to be made in (i) the number of shares and
the price per share subject to outstanding Options in order to preserve, but not
to increase, the benefits of the optionee, so that immediately after such event
each holder of an Option shall be entitled, upon payment to the Company of the
aggregate amount of money provided in the Option, to receive that number of
shares or other property that he would have received it he had exercised the
Option in full (without regard to any provisions relating to the dates on which
the Option becomes exercisable) immediately prior to such event; and (ii) the
aggregate number of shares subject to this Plan. Provided, however, that subject
to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, if there shall be a
dissolution or liquidation of the Company or if the Company shall not be the
surviving corporation in any merger, consolidation or reorganization or
-3-
<PAGE>
if eighty percent (80%) or more of the Company's then outstanding voting stock
is acquired by another corporation or if the Company agrees to sell
substantially a11 of its assets and property to another person (a "Terminating
Event"), each optionee shall have the right immediately prior to such
dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation, reorganization, acquisition or
sale of assets to exercise his Option(s) to the extent not theretofore
exercised, whether or not they are then exercisable in the ordinary course of
events, unless there is a surviving corporation or a parent or subsidiary
corporation thereof that shall assume (with appropriate changes) the outstanding
Options or replace them with new options of comparable value. The Company shall
give reasonable notice of any Terminating Event. Thirty (30) days after delivery
of such notice, every Option or any portion thereof outstanding hereunder shall
thereupon terminate, unless there is a surviving corporation or a parent or
subsidiary corporation thereof that shall assume (with appropriate changes) the
outstanding Options or replace them with new options of comparable value.
3. ELIGIBILITY.
The significant employees and consultants who shall be eligible to have
Options granted to them are defined to be those employees and consultants as the
Committee or the Board, in its absolute discretion, shall designate from time to
time.
-4-
<PAGE>
4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.
(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Board may from
time to time remove members from, or add members to, the Committee. Vacancies on
the Committee, however caused, shall be filled by the Board. The Committee shall
hold meetings at such times and places as it may determine. A majority of the
Committee shall constitute a quorum. A majority of the members present may act
at any meeting at which a quorum is present. Any action that may be taken at a
meeting may be taken without a meeting if reduced to and approved in writing by
all the members of the Committee. Options may be granted to significant
employees who are members of the Committee, provided that they are approved by a
majority of the members of the whole Committee with the person to whom Options
are to be issued not voting, unless the Company's shares become subject to the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. If the Company becomes subject to the
Securities and Exchange of 1934, no options may be granted to any member of the
Committee during the term of his or her membership on the Committee. No person
shall be eligible to serve on the Committee unless he or she is then a
"disinterested person" within the meaning of paragraph (b) of Rule 16B-3, which
has been adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, if and as such rule is then in effect.
-5-
<PAGE>
(b) Subject to and consistent with the provisions of this Plan, either the
Board or the Committee may from time to time determine which significant
employees and consultants shall be granted Options, the terms and conditions
thereof, and the number of shares for which an Option or Options shall be
granted to an optionee.
(c) In addition to any other authority it may have, either the Board or the
Committee shall have authority, subject to and consistent with the provisions of
this Plan:
(1) To substitute Options with different terms for previously granted
Options;
(2) To amend the terms of any Option or Options previously granted,
including the authority to reduce the Option exercise price from time to
time, but not to reduce the price below the price as determined under
Paragraph 5; and
(3) To accept, upon exercise of Options, consideration other than
cash, including without limitation, a promissory note or notes of the
Optionee, shares of the Company's Stock valued at its fair market value at
the time or the surrender of options to purchase Stock, valued at the
difference between fair market value at the time of the Stock subject to
the Option less the exercise price thereof.
-6-
<PAGE>
If the Stock is neither listed nor admitted to trading on any stock
exchange nor actively traded in the over-the-counter market at the time an
Option is granted, then the Committee or the Board shall in good faith determine
the fair market value of the Stock on the basis of such criteria as may appear
to it to be reasonable at the time. If the Stock is listed or admitted to
trading on a stock exchange or is actively traded over-the-counter at the time
the Option is granted, the fair market value shall be the mean between the
highest reported bid price and the lowest reported asked price of the Stock in
the over-the-counter market on the last business day prior to the date the
Option is granted, as reported by any publication selected by the Company which
regularly reports the market price of the Stock in such market. If the Stock is
then listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange, the fair market value
shall be the last reported sales price on the last business day prior to the
date the Option is granted on the principal stock exchange on which the Stock is
then listed or admitted to trading as reported by any publication selected by
the Company which regularly reports the market price of the Stock on such
exchange, or, if no sale takes place on such day on such principal stock
exchange, then the closing bid price of the Stock on such exchange on such day.
Such price shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 2(b) hereof.
-7-
<PAGE>
(d) The Board or the Committee shall report to the Secretary of the Company
the names of persons to whom Options have been granted, the number of shares
covered by each Option, and the terms and conditions of each such Option.
(e) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, either the Board or
the Committee shall have full power to adopt, amend, and rescind roles and
regulations relating to its administration of this Plan; to construe and
interpret this Plan, such rules and regulations, and the instruments evidencing
Options; and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for
the administration of this Plan. All decisions, determinations, and
interpretations of the Board of Directors and the Committee shall be final and
binding.
5. THE OPTION EXERCISE PRICE.
(a) the exercise price of the Stock covered by each Option shall be not
less than 100 percent of the fair market value of such stock, as determined in
good faith by the Committee or the Board (as the case may be), on the date the
Option is granted. For all purposes hereof, the date on which an Option is
granted shall be the date on which the Committee or the Board determines to make
the grant and establishes the price thereof, without regard to subsequent delays
in approvals of other terms and conditions or preparation of documents.
-8-
<PAGE>
(b) The Option price shall be paid in full at the time of exercise of the
Option in cash, by check, or, at the discretion of the Committee or the Board,
by delivering stock of the Company already owned by the Optionee, or also at the
discretion of the Committee or the Board, by the promissory note or notes of the
Optionee, or at the discretion of the Committee or the Board by a combination of
these methods. The value of any stock delivered in payment shall, prior to the
stock's being publicly traded, be the fair market value of the stock as
determined by the Committee or the Board and, after the stock is publicly
traded, be the fair market value of the Company's stock, as defined in Section
4(c) but using market quotations on the last business day prior to delivery. Any
promissory notes shall bear a rate of interest not less than the rate, as it may
change from time to time, required under federal tax law to prevent any
imputation of interest, unless the rate exceeds the maximum rate permissible
under California law, in which case the rate shall be the maximum permitted
under California law. Such promissory notes shall be secured by a security
interest in the shares issued upon exercise and such other security, if any as
the Committee or the Board may require. All other terms of such loan shall be
determined solely by the Committee, and all terms and conditions, including
whether the loan shall become due upon cessation of employment, shall be set
forth in the promissory note or notes executed by the Optionee. The Committee
shall
-9-
<PAGE>
furnish the Optionee with a Truth-in-Lending Statement showing the terms of the
loan, including the amount financed, total payments of interests, total payments
of principal and annual percentage rate. The Board or Committee may in its
discretion, during any time in which any portion of the loan is outstanding,
provide for forgiveness of the loan, on such terms and conditions as the Board
or Committee shall determine.
6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
(a) Each Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall be evidenced by a
written Stock Option Agreement executed by the Company and the person to whom
such Option is granted, in such form and on such terms as the Board or the
Committee shall approve from time to time, but subject to the following
subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Paragraph 6.
(b) Each Stock Option Agreement entered into pursuant to this Plan shall
contain at least the following provisions:
(1) The number of shares that may be purchased upon exercise of the
Option and such exercise price as the Board of Directors or the Committee
may determine, but which is not less than the price determined in
accordance with Paragraph 5;
-10-
<PAGE>
(2) A prohibition against the transfer of any Option to purchase Stock
other than a transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution and a
limitation that the Option is exercisable during the optionee's lifetime
only by him or after his death by his legal representative;

termination of employment except for cause or for death or permanent and
total disability of the Option holder, one year in the event of termination
of employment by reason of death or permanent and total disability, and

and
(4) Such term for any Option, which is not in excess of a period of
ten years and one day from the date it is granted as the Committee or the
Board may determine and a schedule under which at least 20% of the shares
granted under this Option shall become exercisable each year.
-11-
<PAGE>
(c) Each Stock Option Agreement may also contain:
(1) Such provisions as are necessary to render the issuance of
Stock in compliance with all applicable requirements of law and to
relieve the Company of any obligation to issue or deliver Stock unless
and until, in the opinion of the Company's counsel, there has been
full compliance with all applicable requirements of the securities
laws and all applicable listing requirements of any national
securities exchange on which shares of the same class are then listed;
(2) Such restrictions on sale or other disposition of the Stock
purchased upon exercise of the Option as may be determined by the
Board or the Committee; and
(3) Such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with this
Plan as may be determined by the Board or the Committee.

this Plan shall constitute general funds of the Company.

<PAGE>
8. AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION, OR TERMINATION OF PLAN.
The Board may at any time suspend or terminate this Plan, and may amend it
from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable; provided,
however (except as provided in Paragraph 2(b) hereof), the Board shall not amend
the Plan in the following respects without shareholder approval:
(a) To increase the maximum number of shares subject to the Plan; or
(b) To change the designation of class of persons eligible to receive
Options under the Plan.

optionee's consent, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option
theretofore granted to him under this Plan.

2. Exercise.
(a) This Option shall be exercisable as follows:

(b) This Option shall remain exercisable as to all of such shares until ten

the Committee or the Board, by execution and delivery of the promissory note or
notes of the Optionee, or at the discretion of the Committee or the Board by a
combination of these methods; and (c) the written statement provided for in
Section 8(b) hereof.
4. Cessation of Employment (Other Than Death or Total Disability). Except
as provided in Paragraph 5 hereof, if Optionee shall cease to be employed by the
Company or a subsidiary corporation for any reason other than Optionee's
permanent and total disability or death, this Option shall expire thirty (30)
days after the date on which the Optionee ceases employment or on the date
specified in Paragraph 2 hereof, whichever is earlier. Before such expiration,
Optionee shall have the right to exercise this Option only as to those shares
with respect to which installments, if any, had accrued under Paragraph 2 hereof
at the date of termination of employment.
5. Termination of Employment for Cause. If Optionee's employment by the
Company or a patent or subsidiary corporation is terminated for cause, this
Option shall expire immediately. Termination for cause shall include termination
for malfeasance or gross misfeasance in the performance of duties or conviction
of a felony or any conduct intentionally detrimental to the interests of the
Company or a parent or subsidiary corporation, or any other cause as specified
in any employment agreement between the Company and the Optionee, and in any
event, determination of the Board with respect thereto shall be final and
conclusive.
6. Nontransferability; Death or Total Disability of Optionee. This Option
shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable during Optionee's lifetime only by
Optionee. If Optionee dies, or is permanently and totally disabled, while
employed by the Company or a subsidiary corporation, this Option shall expire
one(1) year after the date of Optionee's death, or permanent and total
disability, or on the day specified in paragraph 2 hereof, whichever is earlier.
After Optionee's death but before such expiration, the persons to whom
Optionee's rights under this Option shall have passed by will or by the
applicable laws of descent and distribution, or a person lawfully entitled to
act for him, shall have the right to exercise this Option only as to those
shares, if any, for which installments had accrued under Paragraph 2 hereof as
of the date on which Optionee ceased to be employed by the Company or subsidiary
corporation. Shares purchased by such persons shall be subject to all of the
terms and provisions of this Agreement.

<PAGE>
7. Employment. This agreement shall not obligate the Company or a
subsidiary corporation to employ Optionee for any period, nor shall it interfere
in any way with the right of the Company or a subsidiary corporation to reduce
Optionee's compensation or to terminate the employment of Optionee.
8. Privileges and Restrictions of Stock Ownership.
(a) Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to common
stock of the Company subject to this Option until the date of issuance of stock
certificates to him. Except as provided in Section 3(b) of the Plan, no
adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date
is prior to the date such stock certificates are issued.
(b) By accepting this Option, Optionee, for himself and his transferees by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, agrees that any and all shares
purchased upon exercise of this Option shall be acquired for investment and not
for sale or for distribution, that each notice of the exercise of any portion of
this Option shall be accompanied by a representation and agreement in writing,
signed by the person entitled to exercise the same, that the shares are being
acquired in good faith for investment and not for sale or for distribution and
that any and all certificates presenting shares purchased on the exercise of
this Option may have affixed thereto an appropriate legend indicating that such
shares have not been
-5-
<PAGE>
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are subject to
certain restrictions on transfer, and shall be subject to such restrictions on
transfer, and related legends, as in the opinion of counsel may be reasonably
prudent under the circumstances. Provided, however, that if the shares subject
to this Option are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
if other applicable laws do not require similar restrictions at the time, the
requirements set forth in this Section 8 shall be of no force and effect, and
the Optionee may acquire such shares without giving such a representation.
9. Modification and Termination. The rights of Optionee are subject to
adjustment, modification and termination as provided in Paragraph 2 (relating to
adjustments to reflect reorganizations, recapitalizations and like
transactions), 4 (relating to authority in administration of the Plan) and 9
(relating to amendment, termination and suspension of the Plan) of the Plan.
10. Notification of Sale. Optionee agrees that Optionee, or any person
acquiring shares upon exercise of this Option, will notify the Company not more
than five (5) days after any sale or disposition of such shares.

11. Withholding Taxes. Whenever shares are to be issued in satisfaction of
this Option, the Company shall have the right to require Optionee to remit to
the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local
withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate or
certificate of such shares.
12. Notices. Notices delivered under this Agreement shall be delivered to
the Company, at its principal office (Attention: President), and to the Optionee
at such address as Optionee shall designate to the Company.

AMENDMENT TO THE
INTERNATIONAL GENETIC ENGINEERING
1985 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN
Effective as of October 30, 1996, pursuant to Board action on such date,
the International Genetic Engineering 1985 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the
"Ingene Plan") is hereby amended as follows:
1. Section 4(a) of the Ingene Plan is amended by adding the following at
the end thereof:
"Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, effective
October 30, 1996, the Plan will be administered by either the full
Board of Directors (without regard to the number of "non-employee
directors" (as defined below) on the Board) or, if appointed by the
Board, a committee thereof comprised of at least two (2) "non-employee
directors." "Non-employee director" has the meaning set forth in Rule
16b-3(b)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Commission as amended in
1996 (or any successor provision thereto). Such director will not be
required to be a "disinterested person" within the meaning of previous
Rule 16b-3. However, the mere fact that a Committee member shall fail
to qualify as a non-employee director shall not invalidate any options
granted by the Committee which are otherwise validly granted under the
Plan."
XOMA CORPORATION
1992 DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN
(As Amended and Restated Through October 30, 1996)
1. General. The XOMA Corporation 1992 Directors Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") was adopted on February 20, 1992 (the "Adoption Date") by the Board of
Directors of XOMA Corporation (the "Company"), subject to the approval of the
Company's stockholders at its 1992 annual meeting. A total of 150,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock, par value $.0005 per share ("Common Stock"), have
been reserved for issuance hereunder. The Plan provides for the granting to
non-employee directors of the Company of non-qualified options ("Options" or
"Option") to purchase Common Stock.
2. Purposes. The purposes of the Plan are to increase the proprietary
interest of non-employee directors in the Company by granting them non-qualified
options to purchase Common Stock, to promote long-term shareholder value through
the potential for increased ownership of Common Stock by non-employee directors,
and to encourage the continued service on the Board of Directors (the "Board")
of non-employee directors.
3. Administration. The Plan is designed to operate automatically and not
require administration. However, to the extent that administration is necessary,
the Plan shall be administered by those members of the Board who are not
eligible to participate in the Plan (the "Plan Administrators"). Since it is
intended that this Plan provide for grants of Options to non-employee directors
of the Company, this function will be limited to matters of administrative
oversight. Decisions and determinations of the Plan Administrators shall be
final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Plan. The Plan
Administrators will have no discretion with respect to the selection of
optionees or the determination of the exercise price, the timing of grants or
the number of shares covered by the Options granted hereunder. The Plan
Administrators will receive no additional compensation for their services in
connection with the administration of the Plan.
4. Eligibility. Each member of the Board who is not a full or part-time
employee of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company
("Director") shall be entitled to participate in the Plan.
5. Grants under the Plan. All Options granted under the Plan shall be
non-statutory options, not entitled to special tax treatment under Section 422
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The number of
shares of Common Stock available for grants under the Plan shall not exceed
150,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section7. The shares with
respect to which particular Option has been granted are
<PAGE>
-2-
hereinafter referred to as "Optioned Shares." The written agreement evidencing
each Option granted under the Plan (the "Agreement") shall be dated as of the
applicable date of grant. Each Director accepting an Option grant shall execute
and return a copy of the Agreement to the Company. If any outstanding Option
shall terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, the shares
applicable to the unexercised portion of such Option shall again become
available under the Plan. Either authorized and unissued shares or treasury
shares may be delivered under the Plan.
6. Stock Options.
(a) Initial Grants. On the Adoption Date (which shall be the date of grant
for purposes of paragraphs 6(c), (d) and (e)) of the Plan, each Director shall
be granted an Option to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to
10,000 minus the number of shares of Common stock with respect to which options
have been previously granted to such Director (without regard to the status of
such Director at the time of any such prior grant, whether any such prior grant
was made pursuant to another plan of the company or any other circumstances of
any such prior grant), subject to the approval of the Plan by the Company's
stockholders at the 1992 annual meeting. Each person who becomes a Director for
the first time after the Effective Date (as defined below) shall be granted an
Option on the six-month anniversary of the date such person becomes a Director
to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to 10,000 minus the
number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options have been
previously granted to such Director (without regard to the status of such
Director at the time of any such prior grant, whether any such prior grant was
made pursuant to another plan of the Company or any other circumstances of any
such prior grant).
(b) Regular Annual Grants. On each date that the Company holds its annual
meeting of stockholders commencing with the 1993 calendar year, immediately
after the annual election of directors, each Director then in office (other than
those Directors first elected at such meeting) will receive a grant of an Option
to purchase 1,000 shares, provided that no Director will receive under this Plan
Options to purchase a total of more than 25,000 shares.
(c) Option Exercise Price. The per share price to be paid by the Director
at the time an Option is exercised shall be 100% of the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date of grant. "Fair market value" shall be determined as
follows:
(i) If the Common Stock is not at the time listed or admitted to
trading on any stock exchange but is traded in the over-the-counter market,
the fair market value shall be the closing selling price per share of
Common Stock on the date in question, as such price is reported by the
National Association of Securities Dealers through its NASDAQ National
Market System or any successor system. If there is no reported
<PAGE>
-3-
closing selling price for Common Stock on the date in question, then the
closing selling price on the last preceding date for which such quotation
exists shall be determinative of fair market value.
(ii) If the Common Stock is at the time listed or admitted to trading
on any stock exchange, then the fair market value shall be the closing
selling price per share of Common Stock on the date in question on the
stock exchange which is the primary market for the Common Stock, as such
price is officially quoted on such exchange. If there is no reported sale
of Common Stock on such exchange on the date in question, then the fair
market value shall be the closing selling price on the exchange on the last
preceding date for which such quotation exists.
(d) Maximum Term of Option. Each Option shall have a maximum term of ten
(10) years from the date of grant.
(e) Date of Exercise. Provided that an optionee hereunder (an "Optionee")
remains a Director, and except as otherwise provided in paragraph 8(a),
(i) the Options granted in Section 6(a) hereof shall become
exercisable in accordance with the following schedule:
(A) With respect to Options granted pursuant to the first sentence of
Section 6(a) hereof, each such Option shall become exercisable
with respect to 20% of the Optioned Shares on the date of grant;
(B) Each Option shall become exercisable with respect to 20% (or, in
the case of Options referred to in clause (A) above, an
additional 20%) of the Optional Shares after the expiration of
one year from the date of grant;
(C) Each Option shall become exercisable with respect to an
additional 20% of the Optional Shares after the expiration of two
years from the date of grant;
(D) Each Option shall become exercisable with respect to an
additional 20% of the Optioned Shares after the expiration of
three years from the date of grant;
(E) Each Option shall become exercisable with respect to an
additional 20% (or, in the case of Options referred to in clause
(A) above, the remaining 20%) of the Optional Shares after the
expiration of four years from the date of grant;
<PAGE>
-4-
(F) With respect to Options other than those referred to in clause
(A) above, each such Option shall become exercisable with respect
to the remaining 20% of the Optioned Shares after the expiration
of five years from the date of grant; and
(ii) the Options granted in Section 6(b) hereof shall become
exercisable on the date of grant.
Exercisable installments may be exercised in whole or in part and, to the
extent not exercised, shall accumulate and be exercisable at any time on or
before the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Option term.
(f) Accelerated Termination of Option Term. The option term with respect to
a particular Option granted hereunder shall terminate (and such Option shall
cease to be exercisable) prior to the specified expiration date thereof (the
"Expiration Date") should one of the following provisions become applicable:
(i) Except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (ii), (iii) and (iv)
below, should Optionee cease to be a Director at any time during the option
term, then Optionee shall have up to a three (3) month period commencing
with the date of such cessation of Director status in which to exercise
this Option, but in no event shall this Option be exercisable at any time
after the Expiration Date. During such limited period of exercisability,
the Option may not be exercised for more than the number of Optioned Shares
(if any) for which it is exercisable at the date of Optionee's cessation of
Director status. Upon the expiration of such limited period of
exercisability or (if earlier) upon the Expiration Date, the Option shall
terminate and cease to be outstanding.
(ii) Should Optionee die while such Option is outstanding, then the
personal representative of Optionee's estate or the person or persons to
whom the Option is transferred shall have the right to exercise this
Option, but only with respect to that number of Optioned shares (if any)
for which Option is exercisable on the date of Optionee's death. Such right
shall lapse and the Option shall cease to be exercisable upon the earlier
of (A) the expiration of the one (1) year period measured from the date of
Optionee's death or (B) the specified Expiration Date of the Option term.
(iii) Should Optionee become permanently disabled and cease by reason
thereof to be a Director at any time during the Option term, then Optionee
shall have a period of twelve (12) months (commencing with the date of such
cessation of Director status) during which to exercise such Option;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Option be exercisable at any
time after the Expiration Date. During such limited period of
exercisability, the Option may not be exercised for more that the number of
<PAGE>
-5-
Optioned Shares (if any) for which this Option is exercisable at the date
of Optionee's cessation of Director status. Upon the expiration of such
limited period of exercisability or (if earlier) upon the Expiration Date,
the Option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding. Optionee shall be
deemed to be permanently disabled if Optionee is, by reason of any
medically determinable physical or mental impairment expected to result in
death or to be of continuous duration of not less than 12 consecutive
months or more, unable to perform his/her usual duties as a director of the
Company.
(iv) Should Optionee's status as a Director be terminated on account
of any act of (A) fraud or intentional misrepresentation, or (B)
embezzlement, misappropriation or conversion of assets or opportunities of
the Company, or any unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or
trade secrets of the Company, such Option shall terminate and cease to be
exercisable immediately upon the date of such termination of Director
status.
(g) Method of Exercise. An Option may be exercised with respect to all or
any part of the shares of Common Stock for which such Option is at the time
exercisable. Each notice of exercise shall be accompanied by the full purchase
price of the shares being purchased, with such payment to be made in cash or by
check.
(h) Transferability. Options are transferable and assignable to the spouse
of the Optionee or a descendent of the Optionee (any such spouse or descendent,
an "Immediate Family Member") or a corporation, partnership, limited liability
company or trust so long as all of the shareholders, partners, members or
beneficiaries thereof, as the case may be, are either the Optionee or an
Immediate Family Member of the Optionee, provided that (i) there may be no
consideration for any such transfer and (ii) subsequent transfers or transferred
options will be prohibited other than by will, by the laws of descent and
distribution or pursuant to a "qualified domestic relations order" as such term
is defined by the Code or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA"). Following transfer, any such options will continue to be subject to
the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer,
provided that for purposes of the option agreement the term "Optionee" will
refer to the transferee.
7. Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization
(a) If the number of shares of the Company as a whole are increased,
decreased or changed into, or exchanged for, a different number or kind of
shares or securities of the Company, whether through reclassification, stock,
dividend, stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in
corporate structure or the like, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment
shall be made in the number and kind of shares subject to the Plan, and in the
number, kind and per share exercise price of shares subject to unexercised
Options or portions thereof granted prior to any such change. Any such
<PAGE>
-6-
adjustment in an outstanding Option, however, shall be made without a change in
the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Option but with a
corresponding adjustment in the price for each share covered by the Option.
(b) If the Company is the surviving entity in any merger or other business
combination, then an Option shall be appropriately adjusted to apply and pertain
to the number and class of securities which the holder of the number of shares
of Common Stock subject to an Option immediately prior to such merger or other
business combination would have been entitled to receive in the consummation of
such merger or other business combination, and appropriate adjustment shall be
made to the option price payable per share, provided the aggregate option price
shall remain the same.
8. Corporate Transaction.
(a) In the event of one or more of the following transactions ("Corporate
Transaction"):
(i) a merger or acquisition in which the Company is not the surviving
entity, except for a transaction the principal purpose of which is to
change the State of the Company's incorporation,
(ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, or
(iii) any other business combination in which fifty percent (50%) or
more of the Company's outstanding voting stock is transferred to different
holders in a single transaction or a series of related transactions,
then the exercisablity of an Option shall automatically be accelerated so that
such Option may be exercised for any or all of the shares of Common Stock
subject to such Option. No such acceleration of exercise dates shall occur,
however, if and to the extent the terms of any agreement relating to such
Corporate Transaction provide as a prerequisite to the consummation of such
Corporate Transaction that outstanding options purchase Common Stock (including
an Option issued pursuant to this Plan) are to be assumed by the successor
corporation or parent thereof or are to be replaced with options to purchase
shares of capital stock of the successor corporation or parent thereof. In any
such case, an appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and the
per share exercise prices shall be made. No fractional shares of stock shall be
issued under the Plan on account of any adjustment specified above. Upon the
consummation of the Corporate Transaction, an Option shall, to the extent not
previously exercised or assumed by the successor corporation or its parent
company, terminate and cease to be exercisable.
<PAGE>
-7-
(b) This Plan shall not in any way affect the right of the company to
adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise make changes in its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
9. Amendment and Termination of Plan. The Board may make such amendments to
the Plan and to any Agreements hereunder as it shall deem advisable; provided,
however, that the Board may not, without further approval by the affirmative
votes of the holders of a majority of the securities of the Company present, or
represented, and entitled to vote at a stockholders meeting duly held in
accordance with applicable laws, increase the number of shares as to which
Options may be granted under this Plan (except as otherwise permitted in
paragraph 8(a) hereof), materially increase the benefits accruing to
participants under this Plan or materially modify the requirements as to
eligibility for participation under this Plan. In addition, the Board may not
amend the Plan or Agreement hereunder more than once every six months, other
than to comport with changes in the Code or the rules thereunder. The Board may
terminate the Plan at any time within its absolute discretion. No such
termination, other than that provided in Section8(a) hereof, shall in any way
affect any Option then outstanding.
10. Miscellaneous Provisions. Neither the Plan nor any action taken
hereunder shall be construed as giving any Director any right to be nominated
for re-election to the Board. The Plan shall be governed by the laws of the
State of California.
11. Effective Date. The Plan shall, subject to the approval of the
stockholders at the 1992 annual meeting, be effective as of February 20, 1992
(the "Effective Date").

to the number of Optioned Shares (if any) for which it is exercisable at the
date of your death. Such right will lapse and this option will cease to be
exercisable upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the one-year period
measured from the date of your death or (ii) the Expiration Date.
(c) If you become permanently disabled and cease by reason thereof to be a
Director at any time during the option term, then you will have a period of
twelve months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Director status)
during which to exercise this option; provided, however, that in no event will
this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date. During such
limited period of exercisability, this option may not be exercised for more than
the number of Optioned Shares (if any) for which this option is exercisable at
the date of your cessation of Director status. Upon the expiration of such
limited period of exercisability or (if earlier) upon the Expiration Date, this
option will terminate and cease to be outstanding. You will be deemed to be
permanently disabled if you are, by reason of any medically determinable
physical or mental impairment expected to result in death or to be of continuous
duration of not less than
<PAGE>
-4-
twelve consecutive months or more, unable to perform your usual duties as a
Director of the Corporation.
(d) If your status as a Director is terminated on account of any act of (i)
fraud or intentional misrepresentation or (ii) embezzlement, misappropriation or
conversion of assets or opportunities of the Corporation, or any unauthorized
disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets of the Corporation, this
option will terminate and cease to be exercisable immediately upon the date of
such termination of Director status.
5. Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization.
(a) If the number of shares of the Corporation as a whole is increased,
decreased or changed into, or exchanged for, a different number or kind of
shares or securities of the Corporation, whether through reclassification, stock
dividend, stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in
corporate structure or the like, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment
will be made in the number, kind, and per share exercise price of shares subject
to unexercised options or portions thereof granted prior to any such change. Any
such adjustment in an outstanding portion, however, will be made without a
change in the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of the option,
but with a corresponding adjustment in the price of each share covered by the
option.
(b) If the Corporation is the surviving entity in any merger or other
business combination, then this option will be appropriately adjusted to apply
and pertain to the number and class of securities which the holder of the number
of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock subject to this option immediately
prior to such merger or other business combination would have been entitled to
receive in the consummation of such merger or other business combination, and an
appropriate adjustment will be made to the Exercise Price payable per share,
provided the aggregate Exercise Price will remain the same.
6. Corporate Transaction.
(a) In the event of one or more of the following transactions ("Corporate
Transaction"):
(i) a merger or acquisition in which the Corporation is not the
surviving entity, except for a transaction the
<PAGE>
-5-
principal purpose of which is to change the State of the Corporation's
incorporation,
(ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Corporation, or
(iii) any other business combination in which fifty percent (50%) or
more of the Corporation's outstanding voting stock is transferred to
different holders in a single transaction or a series of related
transactions,
then the exercisability of this option will automatically be accelerated so that
such option may be exercised simultaneously with consummation of such Corporate
Transaction for any or all of the shares of the Corporation's Common stock
subject to this option. No such acceleration of exercise dates will occur,
however, if and to the extent the terms of any agreement relating to such
Corporate Transaction provide as a prerequisite to the consummation of such
Corporate Transaction that outstanding options to purchase the Corporation's
Common Stock (including this option) are to be assumed by the successor
corporation or parent thereof or are to be replaced with options to purchase
shares of capital stock of the successor corporation or parent thereof. In any
such case, an appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and the
per share exercise prices will be made. No fractional shares of stock will be
issued on account of any adjustment specified above. Immediately following the
consummation of the Corporate Transaction, this option will, to the extent not
previously exercised or assumed by the successor corporation or its parent
company, terminate and cease to be exercisable.
(b) This Agreement will not in any way affect the right of the Corporation
to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise make changes in its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
7. Privilege of Stock Ownership. You will not have any rights of a
stockholder of the Corporation with respect to the Optioned Shares until you
have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and been issued a stock
certificate for the purchased shares.
8. Manner of Exercising Option.
(a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any part of the
Optioned Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable, you (or in the
case of exercise after
<PAGE>
-6-
your death, your executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be)
must take the following actions:
(i) Provide the Secretary of the Corporation with written notice of
such exercise, specifying the number of Optioned Shares with respect to
which the option is being exercised.
(ii) Pay the Exercise Price in full, in cash or by check payable to
the Corporation's order, for the Optioned Shares being purchased.
(iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the
person or persons exercising the option, if other than you, have the right
to exercise this option.
(b) In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional shares.
9. Compliance with Laws and Regulations.
(a) The exercise of this option and the issuance of Optioned Shares upon
such exercise will be subject to compliance by the Corporation and by you with
all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable
regulations of any stock exchange on which shares of the Corporation's Common
Stock may be listed at the time of such exercise and issuance.
(b) In connection with the exercise of this option, you will execute and
deliver to the Corporation such representations in writing as may be requested
by the Corporation in order for it to comply with the applicable requirements of
Federal and State securities law.
10. Restrictive Legends. If and to the extent any Optioned Shares acquired
under this option are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, the stock
certificates for such Optioned Shares will be endorsed with restrictive legends,
including (without limitation) the following:
"The Shares represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933. The shares have been acquired for
investment and may not be sold or offered for sale in the absence of
(a) an effective registration statement for the shares
<PAGE>
-7-
under such Act, (b) a 'no action' letter of the Securities and
Exchange Commission with respect to such sale or offer, or (c) an
opinion of counsel to the Company that registration under such Act is
not required with respect to such sale or offer."
11. Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in
Section 2 and Subsection 6(a), the provisions of this Agreement will inure to
the benefit of, and be binding upon, your successors, administrators, heirs,
legal representatives and assigns and the successors and assigns of the
Corporation.
12. Liability of the Corporation.
(a) If the Optioned Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of the
Grant Date, the number of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock which may
without stockholder approval be issued under the Plan, then this option will be
void with respect to such excess shares unless stockholder approval of an
amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of the Corporation's
Common Stock issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan.
(b) The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any regulatory
body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option will relieve the
Corporation of any liability in respect of the non-issuance or sale of such
stock as to which such approval will not have been obtained.
13. No Right to Nomination. Neither this Agreement nor any action taken
hereunder will be construed as giving you any right to be nominated for
re-election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
14. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the
Corporation under the terms of this Agreement will be in writing and addressed
to the Corporation in care of its Secretary at its corporate offices. Any notice
required to be given or delivered to you will be in writing and addressed to you
at the address indicated below your signature line herein. All notices will be
deemed to be given or delivered upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the
U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

that term is defined in the Plan) for resolution. The decision of the Plan
Administrator will be final, binding and conclusive. Questions regarding this
option or the Plan should be referred to the Paralegal Assistant in the Legal
Department of the Corporation.

Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California.

Subject to the terms of the XOMA Corporation 1992 Directors Stock Option
Plan, as amended and restated through October 30, 1996 (the "Plan") and to the
terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (the "Agreement"), XOMA
Corporation (the "Corporation") has granted you, as of the Grant Date shown in
item (B) above, a non-qualified stock option (not entitled to special tax
treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code")) to purchase the number of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock
shown in item (C) above (the "Optioned Shares") at the Exercise Price shown in
item (F) above.
The details of your option are as follows:
1. Term. This option has a maximum term of ten years measured from the
Grant Date and will, unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section 4 or
Subsection 6(a) hereof, expire on the Expiration Date shown in item (E) above.
Upon the Expiration Date or upon the sooner termination of this option under
Section 4 or Subsection 6(a), this option will cease to be exercisable and have
no further force or effect whatsoever.
2. Transferability. This option is transferable and assignable by you to
your spouse or descendent (any such spouse or descendent, an "Immediate Family
Member") or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or trust so
long as all of the shareholders, partners, members or beneficiaries thereof, as
the case may be, are either you or an Immediate Family Member, provided that
there may be no consideration for
<PAGE>
-2-
any such transfer, and, following transfer, (i) subsequent transfers of this
option will be prohibited other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and (ii) this option will continue to be subject to the same terms
and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer, provided that
for purposes of this Agreement any references to "you" will refer to the
transferee.
3. Exercise Schedule. The option granted herein is exercisable with respect
to 100% of the Optioned Shares beginning on the Grant Date and may be exercised
in whole or in part, and to the extent not exercised, will be exercisable at any
time on or before the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the option term.
4. Accelerated Termination of Option Term. The option term specified in
Section 1 will terminate (and this option will cease to be exercisable) prior to
the Expiration Date should one of the following provisions become applicable:
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Subsections (b), (c) and (d) below, if
you cease to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation who is not
a full or part-time employee of the Corporation or of any subsidiary or
affiliate of the Corporation (a "Director") at any time during the option term,
then you will have up to three months commencing with the date of such cessation
of Director status in which to exercise this option, but in no event will this
option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date. Upon the expiration
of such limited period of exercisability or (if earlier) upon the Expiration
Date, this option will terminate and cease to be outstanding.
(b) If you die while this option is outstanding, then the personal
representative of your estate or the person or persons to whom the option is
transferred pursuant to your will or in accordance with the laws of descent and
distribution will have the right to exercise this option. Such right will lapse
and this option will cease to be exercisable upon the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the one-year period measured from the date of your death or (ii)
the Expiration Date.
(c) If you become permanently disabled and cease by reason thereof to be a
Director at any time during the option term, then you will have a period of
twelve months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Director status)
during which to exercise this option; provided, however, that in no event will
this option be exercisable at any time after the Ex-
<PAGE>
-3-
piration Date. Upon the expiration of such limited period of exercisability or
(if earlier) upon the Expiration Date, this option will terminate and cease to
be outstanding. You will be deemed to be permanently disabled if you are, by
reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment expected to
result in death or to be of continuous duration of not less than twelve
consecutive months or more, unable to perform your usual duties as a Director of
the Corporation.
(d) If your status as a Director is terminated on account of any act of (i)
fraud or intentional misrepresentation or (ii) embezzlement, misappropriation or
conversion of assets or opportunities of the Corporation, or any unauthorized
disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets of the Corporation, this
option will terminate and cease to be exercisable immediately upon the date of
such termination of Director status.
5. Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization.
(a) If the number of shares of the Corporation as a whole is increased,
decreased or changed into, or exchanged for, a different number or kind of
shares or securities of the Corporation, whether through reclassification, stock
dividend, stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in
corporate structure or the like, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment
will be made in the number, kind, and per share exercise price of shares subject
to unexercised options or portions thereof granted prior to any such change. Any
such adjustment in an outstanding portion, however, will be made without a
change in the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of the option,
but with a corresponding adjustment in the price of each share covered by the
option.
(b) If the Corporation is the surviving entity in any merger or other
business combination, then this option will be appropriately adjusted to apply
and pertain to the number and class of securities which the holder of the number
of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock subject to this option immediately
prior to such merger or other business combination would have been entitled to
receive in the consummation of such merger or other business combination, and an
appropriate adjustment will be made to the Exercise Price payable per share,
provided the aggregate Exercise Price will remain the same.
6. Corporate Transaction.
<PAGE>
-4-
(a) In the event of one or more of the following transactions ("Corporate
Transaction"):
(i) a merger or acquisition in which the Corporation is not the
surviving entity, except for a transaction the principal purpose of which
is to change the State of the Corporation's incorporation,
(ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Corporation, or
(iii) any other business combination in which fifty percent (50%) or
more of the Corporation's outstanding voting stock is transferred to
different holders in a single transaction or a series of related
transactions,
then the exercisability of this option will automatically be accelerated so that
such option may be exercised simultaneously with consummation of such Corporate
Transaction for any or all of the shares of the Corporation's Common stock
subject to this option. No such acceleration of exercise dates will occur,
however, if and to the extent the terms of any agreement relating to such
Corporate Transaction provide as a prerequisite to the consummation of such
Corporate Transaction that outstanding options to purchase the Corporation's
Common Stock (including this option) are to be assumed by the successor
corporation or parent thereof or are to be replaced with options to purchase
shares of capital stock of the successor corporation or parent thereof. In any
such case, an appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and the
per share exercise prices will be made. No fractional shares of stock will be
issued on account of any adjustment specified above. Immediately following the
consummation of the Corporate Transaction, this option will, to the extent not
previously exercised or assumed by the successor corporation or its parent
company, terminate and cease to be exercisable.
(b) This Agreement will not in any way affect the right of the Corporation
to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise make changes in its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
7. Privilege of Stock Ownership. You will not have any rights of a
stockholder of the Corporation with respect to the Optioned Shares until you
have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and been issued a stock
certificate for the purchased shares.
<PAGE>

8. Manner of Exercising Option.
(a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any part of the
Optioned Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable, you (or in the
case of exercise after your death, your executor, administrator, heir or
legatee, as the case may be) must take the following actions:
(i) Provide the Secretary of the Corporation with written notice of
such exercise, specifying the number of Optioned Shares with respect to
which the option is being exercised.
(ii) Pay the Exercise Price in full, in cash or by check payable to
the Corporation's order, for the Optioned Shares being purchased.
(iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the
person or persons exercising the option, if other than you, have the right
to exercise this option.
(b) In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional shares.
9. Compliance with Laws and Regulations.
(a) The exercise of this option and the issuance of Optioned Shares upon
such exercise will be subject to compliance by the Corporation and by you with
all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable
regulations of any stock exchange on which shares of the Corporation's Common
Stock may be listed at the time of such exercise and issuance.
(b) In connection with the exercise of this option, you will execute and
deliver to the Corporation such representations in writing as may be requested
by the Corporation in order for it to comply with the applicable requirements of
Federal and State securities law.
10. Restrictive Legends. If and to the extent any Optioned Shares acquired
under this option are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, the stock
certificates for such Optioned Shares will be endorsed with restrictive legends,
including (without limitation) the following:
"The Shares represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933.
<PAGE>
-6-
The shares have been acquired for investment and may not be sold or offered
for sale in the absence of (a) an effective registration statement for the
shares under such Act, (b) a 'no action' letter of the Securities and
Exchange Commission with respect to such sale or offer, or (c) an opinion
of counsel to the Company that registration under such Act is not required
with respect to such sale or offer."
11. Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in
Section 2 and Subsection 6(a), the provisions of this Agreement will inure to
the benefit of, and be binding upon, your successors, administrators, heirs,
legal representatives and assigns and the successors and assigns of the Company.
12. Liability of the Corporation.
(a) If the Optioned Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of the
Grant Date, the number of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock which may
without stockholder approval be issued under the Plan, then this option will be
void with respect to such excess shares unless stockholder approval of an
amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of the Corporation's
Common Stock issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan.
(b) The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any regulatory
body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option will relieve the
Corporation of any liability in respect of the non-issuance or sale of such
stock as to which such approval will not have been obtained.
13. No Right to Nomination. Neither this Agreement nor any action taken
hereunder will be construed as giving you any right to be nominated for
re-election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

option or the Plan should be referred to the Paralegal Assistant in the Legal
Department of the Corporation.

Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California.

XOMA Corporation
Management Incentive Compensation Plan
I. Introduction and Summary.
This document describes the XOMA Corporation Management Incentive
Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), as approved by the Board of Directors. The Plan
became effective on July 1, 1993 and was amended as of October 27, 1993. Subject
to the ability of the Board of Directors to terminate the Plan at any time, the
Plan applies to fiscal years ending December 31, 1993 and each December 31
thereafter.
Officers, employees who have the title of Director or are in salary
grades E8 and above and report directly to an officer, and additional
discretionary participants ("Discretionary Participants") determined by the
Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") to be critical to the achievement of Corporate
Objectives established by the Board of Directors, are eligible to participate in
this Plan and, depending on their performance and that of the corporation, earn
incentive compensation ("Incentive Compensation") (Article III contains the
definitions of certain terms not otherwise defined in the places such terms
first appear in this Plan.) The CEO shall designate those eligible employees who
will participate in the Plan. Employees receiving promotions, and new employees
joining XOMA during a Plan Period, who thereby meet the eligibility criteria for
participation in the Plan, will be considered at the discretion of the CEO for
participation in the Plan on a pro rata basis. The CEO will not participate in
the Plan.
After the conclusion of each applicable Plan Period, the Board of
Directors and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the
"Compensation Committee") will make a determination as to the performance of
XOMA and Plan participants in meeting Corporate Objectives as well as individual
objectives. Prior to the commencement of each Plan Period, the Board of
Directors acting on the advice of the Compensation Committee, will establish a
target Incentive Compensation Pool ("Target Incentive Compensation Pool"). The
Target Incentive Compensation Pool will be expressed as a percentage of the
aggregate annual Base Salaries of all participants in the Plan for the
applicable Plan Period. Awards to individual participants will vary depending on
(1) the achievement of Corporate Objectives; (2) the size of the Target
Incentive Compensation Pool; (3) the individual's Base Salary; and (4) the
individual's performance during the applicable Plan Period and expected ongoing
contribution to XOMA. Awards may exceed or be lower than the Target Incentive
Compensation Pool on the basis of the calculation of the
1
<PAGE>
extent to which XOMA's Corporate Objectives have been met as set forth in the
Explanatory Note to Schedule I attached hereto.
Individual awards will be granted in cash and/or shares of XOMA common
stock based on the average market value of the common stock for the ten trading
days prior to the date of the award. Individual awards will vest over a
three-year period with 50% of each award payable on a distribution date set by
the Board of Directors acting in part on the advice of the CEO and the
Compensation Committee and expected to be in February or March of the year
succeeding the Plan Period and 25% of the award payable on each of the next two
annual distribution dates as long as the individual continues to be employed by
XOMA and continues to be a Plan participant. The portion of each award to be
paid on the first distribution date following a Plan Period will be comprised of
50% cash and 50% in shares of XOMA common stock based on the market value
formula set forth above. For the balance of the award expected to be paid in
successive years, participants will be asked to make a one-time, irrevocable
choice prior to December 31 of the year succeeding the Plan Period, as to
whether the balance of the award should be paid in cash or shares of XOMA common
stock. Failure to exercise the option or to meet the December 31 deadline will
result in the common stock choice being selected. No option is being offered to
divide the balance of the award between cash and XOMA common stock.
The distribution date of awards under the Plan for each Plan Period
will be the same for all participants and is expected to be set no later than
ninety days after the end of each Plan Period.
Questions concerning the Plan should be forwarded to the Vice President
of Human Resources. In all instances, the written provisions of the Plan and
other determinations of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors
shall govern and be final.
II. Purposes.
To build a corporate team that will achieve XOMA's goals and
objectives, to recognize individual efforts, to attract and retain highly
motivated individuals and to encourage outstanding performance and contributions
to XOMA.
III. Definitions.
For the purpose of this Plan, the following definitions will apply:
A. Base Salaries. The term "Base Salaries" means total base salaries
before any deferred tax reductions, excluding overtime, moving
allowances, participation in clinical studies, incentive or bonus
payments, shift differential, imputed income due to fringe benefits
such as group insurance plans, and other
2
<PAGE>
compensatory items of this type.
B. Corporate Objectives. The term "Corporate Objectives" means that
list of corporate objectives approved from time to time by the Board of
Directors in its sole discretion for each Plan Period. The objectives
may be based on financial goals, scientific or commercial progress,
profits, return on investments or any other criteria established by the
Board of Directors. The current Corporate Objectives, the milestones
within each Corporate Objective and their respective relative
percentage contribution to the overall Corporate Objectives and the
Required Corporate Objective Percentage is set forth on Schedule I
attached hereto together with an Explanatory Note describing the method
of calculation.
C. Employee. The term "Employee" means any individual on the XOMA
payroll rendering services for XOMA whose normal work week is 30 hours
or more (excluding consultants, advisors, and other similar individuals
providing services to XOMA).
D. Plan Period. Subject to Article VI, the term "Plan Period" means the
fiscal period from July 1 to December 31, 1993 and, thereafter, each
fiscal year ending December 31.
E. Plan Term. Subject to Article VI, the term "Plan Term" means the
period commencing on July 1, 1993 and continuing until the termination
of this Plan by the Board of Directors.
IV. Plan Mechanics.
A. Eligibility. Officers, employees who have the title of Director or
are in salary Grade E8 and above and report directly to an officer, and
additional Discretionary Participants determined by the CEO to be
critical to the achievement of the Corporate Objectives, are eligible
for participation in the Plan. Other than the officers who may
participate in the Plan who shall be designated in writing by the
Compensation Committee, the CEO shall designate in writing the
employees who will participate in the Plan. An individual who becomes
an Employee who meets the eligibility criteria for participation in the
Plan after the beginning of a Plan Period, or is promoted after the
beginning of a Plan Period to a position eligible for participation in
the Plan, will be considered by the Compensation Committee or the CEO,
as the case may be, for participation in the Plan and, if designated in
writing to participate, such Employee will have her/his award pro rated
as of the date of eligibility determined by the Compensation Committee
or the CEO, as the case may be. Because awards vest and are payable
over a three-year term, each participant must maintain eligibility and
continue as an Employee until each date of distribution to receive the
distribution to be made on that date.
3
<PAGE>
B. Length of Plan. Subject to Article VI, the Plan will be effective
for the Plan Term.
C. Incentive Plan.
1. Determination of Amounts Available for Incentive
Compensation.
a. Prior to the commencement of each Plan Period, the Compensation
Committee acting on behalf of the Board of Directors in its sole
discretion will determine the Target Incentive Compensation Pool. As
soon as practicable after the end of each Plan Period, the Compensation
Committee will determine whether and to what extent the Corporate
Objectives have been met. If a determination is made that XOMA has not
met the Corporate Objectives to the extent required, the Compensation
Committee may decline to award any Incentive Compensation.
b. The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee have
determined that, with respect to the years ending December 31, 1993 and
1994, respectively, unless at least 50% and 60% of the Corporate
Objectives (the "Required Minimum Corporate Objective Percentage") have
been met, respectively, no Incentive Compensation will be awarded. In
addition, with respect to the year ending December 31, 1995, and each
year thereafter during the Plan Term, the Required Minimum Corporate
Objective Percentage will increase to 70%.
c. The Target Incentive Compensation Pool is expressed as a percentage
of the aggregate annual Base Salaries of the participants in the Plan.
The final Incentive Compensation Pool ("Final Incentive Compensation
Pool") will be determined by utilizing the method of calculation of the
extent to which XOMA's Corporate Objectives have been met as set forth
in the Explanatory Note to Schedule I for the applicable Plan Period.
2. Calculation of Individual Incentive Awards.
a. It is the intention of the Compensation Committee and the Board of
Directors that awards to participants shall vary depending on: (1) the
extent of collective achievement of Corporate Objectives; (2) each
participant's employment level in the organization and Base Salary; and
(3) each participant's contributions to the achievement of the
Corporate Objectives as a result of: (x) achievement of individual
objectives and ongoing performance and (y) individual contributions
towards XOMA's meeting of the Corporate Objectives without regard to
individual objectives.
4
<PAGE>
b. Corporate and individual performance objectives will be weighted
depending upon participant level. A 20% judgment factor will be
included as an individual performance measurement for all participants
in the Plan.
Corporate and individual performance goals for participants in
the Plan are to be weighted as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Discretionary
Participant Corporate Individual Performance
Level Objectives Objectives Objectives
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Officer 40% 40% 20%
Other Executive 30% 50% 20%
</TABLE>
c. The bonus opportunity ranges for participants in the Plan expressed
as a percentage of Base Salaries at the beginning of a Plan Period are
as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Participant Level Minimum Target Maximum
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Officer 12.5% 25% 37.5%
Other Executive 7.5% 15% 27.5%
</TABLE>
d. The performance of each participant in the Plan will be rated as
soon as practicable following the conclusion of the applicable Plan
Period in the exercise of the sole discretion of the individual or
group indicated below. The ratings for all officers will be determined
by the Compensation Committee. The ratings for all other participants
will be determined by the CEO. Participants whose performance for the
Plan Period is rated as unsatisfactory will not be eligible for
participation in the Plan for that Plan Period and no Incentive
Compensation will be awarded for below minimum performance.
e. The total value of all awards made for the applicable Plan Period
will not exceed the amount of the Final Incentive Compensation Pool
determined for that Plan Period. Thus, each individual award for a
participant from the Final Incentive Compensation Pool will vary
depending on the participant's rating, employment level in the
organization, Base Salary, and the individual ratings of all
participants.
3. Awards to Participants.
a. Approval. All awards will be approved following the end of a Plan
Period by the Compensation Committee acting on the advice of the Board
of Directors and the CEO.
b. Distribution of Incentive Awards. The distribution dates for awards
will be established by the Board of Directors acting on the advice of
the Compensation Committee. Subject to vesting
5
<PAGE>
requirements, it is expected that distributions will normally be made
in February or March of the succeeding year of the applicable Plan
Period.
c. Taxes and Withholding. Each participant will bear any Federal,
state, and local taxes accruing with respect to any award under the
Plan. As required by law, XOMA will withhold in cash from any
distributions amounts required for Federal and state withholding tax
purposes. With respect to awards in common stock, arrangements for the
payment of withholding tax in cash satisfactory to XOMA must be made
prior to the date of any distribution.
d. Termination of participation.
1. Subject to other provisions hereof, if a participant's
employment is terminated for any reason, or for no reason, on
or before December 31 of any Plan Period or at any time in any
subsequent year in which awards with respect to any Plan
Period are expected to be made, such participant shall forfeit
all rights to Incentive Compensation as yet unpaid pursuant to
the Plan.
2. If an Employee changes employment status from full-time to
part-time (less than 30 hours per week), any such change will
terminate participation in the Plan and all rights to payments
awarded for any Plan Period but payable in subsequent years,
unless the CEO determines in her/his sole discretion, that
such Employee should continue to participate.
3. A participant may elect to withdraw, without prejudice,
from the Plan at any time.
e. Eligibility for Distribution. Subject to other provisions hereof, a
participant must also be an Employee of the Company continuously from
the conclusion of any Plan Period up to and including the date of
distribution of the award to be eligible to receive such distribution.
f. Change in Control Exception. Notwithstanding any other provision
hereof, (x) if within one year after a "change in control" (as defined
below), a participant's employment with XOMA is involuntarily
terminated other than for cause, or (y) if a participant shall
voluntarily terminate her or his employment with XOMA within one year
after a change in control because the nature of such participant's
duties or compensation do not continue to be substantially equivalent
to what they were at the time of such change in control, then all
awards authorized but not yet distributed to such participant shall be
distributed to such participant.
6
<PAGE>
For the purposes of this subsection, a "change in control" shall have
occurred if any person (as defined in Section 13 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) acquires shares of voting capital
stock, (other than directly from XOMA) and thereby becomes the owner of
more than 20% of XOMA's outstanding shares of voting capital stock (on
a fully diluted basis) or XOMA enters into a merger or other
consolidation (other than one in connection with a voluntary change of
corporate domicile or similar reorganization or recapitalization
transaction) in which the stockholders of XOMA (as determined
immediately prior to the merger) do not own at least 50% of the
outstanding shares of voting capital stock of the surviving entity
after the merger. Solely for the purposes of the foregoing, a
termination shall be deemed to have been made for "cause " in the event
a participant is terminated for any of the following reasons:
i) the participant's continued failure to substantially perform
her or his duties with XOMA, or
ii) gross misconduct by the participant which is materially and
demonstrably injurious to XOMA or its employees.
g. Death of a participant. In the event of the death of a participant
while an Employee after the completion of any Plan Period but prior to
the distribution, the award will be made as soon as practicable to the
deceased participant's beneficiary as indicated on the participant's
group insurance enrollment card.
V. No Right to Employment.
Nothing in this Plan shall give any participant the right to continued
employment by XOMA. Furthermore, under XOMA policy, employment at XOMA is "at
will" and can be terminated at any time by either party, with or without cause
and with or without notice.
VI. Plan modification.
This Plan may be modified or terminated by the Board of Directors at
any time.
VII. Miscellaneous.
A. Nontransferability. Awards shall not be transferable by a
participant except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be
exercisable during the lifetime of a participant only by such participant or his
or her guardian or legal representative. A participant's rights under the Plan
may not be pledged, mortgaged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered, and shall
not be subject to claims of the participant's creditors.
B. Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to
7
<PAGE>
constitute an "unfunded" plan of incentive compensation. With respect to any
payments not yet made to a participant pursuant to an award, nothing contained
in the Plan or any Award shall give any such participant any rights that are
greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of XOMA.

<PAGE>
Schedule I
Explanatory Note
Each of the individual Corporate Objectives in this Schedule I has been
assigned a percentage reflecting its relative importance (the "Target
Contribution Percentage") to the achievement of the overall Corporate Objectives
as well as target results and results reflecting best and worst case scenarios
(denominated maximum or minimum for purposes of this Schedule I). If the target
results are achieved, the Target Contribution Percentage is awarded. If results
between the target and the best case scenario are achieved, the Target
Contribution Percentage is increased proportionately up to a maximum of 150% of
the Target Contribution Percentage (the "Best Case Percentage Limitation"). No
percentage contribution in excess of the Best Case Percentage Limitation will be
awarded. Alternatively, if target results are not met but results greater than
the worst case scenario are achieved, the Target Contribution Percentage will be
decreased proportionately to a minimum of 50% of the Target Contribution
Percentage. Achievements below the worst case scenario will result in a 0%
contribution from the applicable Corporate Objective.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, effective as of , is between XOMA CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation ("Corporation"), and OFFICER ("Officer").
WITNESSETH THAT:
WHEREAS, Officer is an executive officer of Corporation and performs a
valuable service in such capacity for Corporation; and
WHEREAS, the stockholders of Corporation have adopted Bylaws (the "Bylaws")
providing for the indemnification of the officers, directors, agents and
employees of Corporation to the maximum extent authorized by Section 145 of the
Delaware Corporations Code, as amended ("Code"); and
WHEREAS, such Bylaws and the Code, by their non-exclusive nature, permit
contracts between Corporation and its directors and officers with respect to
indemnification of such directors and officers; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the authorization as provided by the Code,
Corporation has purchased and presently maintains a policy or policies of
liability insurance for directors and officers ("D & O Insurance"), covering
certain liabilities which may be incurred by its directors and officers in the
performance as officers of Corporation; and
WHEREAS, as a result of recent developments affecting the terms, scope and
availability of D & O Insurance there exists general uncertainty as to the
extent of protection afforded officers of Corporation by such D & O Insurance
and by statutory and by-law indemnification provisions; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce Officer to continue to serve as an officer of
Corporation, Corporation has determined and agreed to enter into this contract
with Officer;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Officer's continued service as an
officer after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Indemnity of Officer. Subject to Section 5 hereof, Corporation hereby
agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Officer to the full extent authorized or
permitted by the provisions of the Code, as may be amended from time to time.
2. Additional Indemnity. Subject to Section 5 hereof and to the exclusions
set forth in Section 3 hereof, Corporation hereby further agrees to hold
harmless and indemnify Officer:
-1-
<PAGE>
(a) against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Officer
in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including
an action by or in the right of Corporation) to which Officer is, was or at any
time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact
that Officer is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of Corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of Corporation as an officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise; and
(b) otherwise to the fullest extent as may be provided to Officer by
Corporation under the non-exclusivity provisions of Article VII of Section 6 of
the Bylaws of Corporation and the Code.
3. Limitations on Additional Indemnity. No indemnity pursuant to Section 2
hereof shall be paid by Corporation:
(a) except to the extent the aggregate of losses to be indemnified
thereunder exceeds the amount of such losses for which Officer is indemnified
either pursuant to Section 1 hereof or pursuant to any other indemnification
arrangement or any D & O Insurance purchased and maintained by Corporation;
(b) in respect to remuneration paid to Officer if it shall be determined by
a final judgment or other final adjudication that such remuneration was in
violation of law;
(c) on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against Officer
for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Officer of
securities of Corporation pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of
any federal, state or local statutory law;
(d) on account of Officer's conduct which is finally adjudged to have been
knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, or to constitute willful
misconduct; or
(e) if a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall
determine that such indemnification is not lawful.
4. Contribution. If the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 is
unavailable and may not be paid to Officer for any reason other than those set
forth in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of Section 3, then in respect of any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which Corporation
is jointly liable with Officer (or would be if joined in such action, suit or
proceeding), Corporation shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred and paid
-2-
<PAGE>
or payable by Officer in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the
relative benefits received by Corporation on the one hand and Officer on the
other hand from the transaction from which such action, suit or proceeding
arose, and (ii) the relative fault of Corporation on the one hand and of Officer
on the other in connection with the events which resulted in such expenses,
judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of Corporation on the one hand and of Officer
on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such expenses, judgments,
fines or settlement amounts. Corporation agrees that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by pro rata
allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
foregoing equitable considerations.
5. Continuation of Obligations. All agreements and obligations of
Corporation contained herein shall terminate on the third anniversary of the
date hereof (the "Termination Date"); provided, however, that such agreements
and obligations shall continue thereafter with respect to any claim or
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal or investigative, to which Officer is or becomes subject on or
subsequent to the Termination Date by reason of the fact that Officer was an
officer of Corporation or serving in any other capacity referred to herein on or
prior to the Termination Date.
6. Notification and Defense of Claim. Promptly after receipt by Officer of
notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, Officer will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against Corporation under this Agreement,
notify Corporation of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify
Corporation will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to Officer
otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any such action, suit or
proceeding as to which Officer notifies Corporation of the commencement thereof:
(a) Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;
(b) except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish,
Corporation jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be
entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to Officer.
After notice from Corporation to Officer of its election so as to assume the
defense thereof, Corporation will not be liable to Officer under this Agreement
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Officer in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as
otherwise provided below. Officer shall have the right to employ counsel to
represent Officer in such action, suit or proceeding but the fees and expenses
of
-3-
<PAGE>
such counsel incurred after notice from Corporation of its assumption of the
defense thereof shall be at the expense of Officer unless such counsel is
reasonably satisfactory to Corporation and (i) Officer shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between Corporation and
Officer in the conduct of the defense of such action, or (ii) Corporation shall
not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each
of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of
Corporation. Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any
action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of Corporation or as to which
Officer shall have made the conclusion provided for in (ii) above. Officer also
shall have the right to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to Corporation to
represent Officer in any such action, suit or proceeding with respect to which
Corporation does not assume the defense; and
(c) Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify Officer under this
Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected
without its written consent. Corporation shall not settle any action or claim in
any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Officer without
Officer's written consent. Neither Corporation nor Officer will unreasonably
withhold its consent to any proposed settlement.
7. Advancement and Repayment of Expenses.
(a) In the event that Officer employs Officer's own counsel pursuant to
Section 6(b) above, Corporation shall advance to Officer, prior to any final
disposition of any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, any and all reasonable
expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in investigating or
defending any such action, suit or proceeding within ten (10) days after
receiving copies of invoices presented to Officer for such expenses.
(b) Officer agrees that Officer will reimburse Corporation for all
reasonable expenses paid by Corporation in defending any civil or criminal
action, suit or proceeding against Officer in the event and only to the extent
it shall be ultimately determined pursuant to the procedure specified in Section
145(d) of the Code that Officer is not entitled, under the provisions of the
Code, the Bylaws, this Agreement or otherwise, to be indemnified by Corporation
for such expenses.
8. Enforcement.
(a) Corporation expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this
Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on Corporation hereby in order to
induce Officer to continue as an officer of Corporation, and acknowledges that
Officer is relying upon this Agreement in continuing such capacity.
-4-
<PAGE>
(b) In the event Officer is required to bring any action to enforce rights
or to collect moneys due under this Agreement and is successful in such action,
Corporation shall reimburse Officer for all of Officer's reasonable fees and
expenses in bringing and pursuing such action.
9. Separability. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and
distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision
hereof shall be held to be valid or unenforceable for any reason, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of the other provisions hereof.
10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
11. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon Officer and upon
Corporation, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of
Officer, his heirs, personal representatives and assigns, to the benefit of
Corporation, its successors and assigns.

<PAGE>
12. Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination or
cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by
both parties hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement this
day of and it shall be effective as of the day and year first above written.

thereunder exceeds the amount of such losses for which Director is indemnified
either pursuant to Section 1 hereof or pursuant to any other indemnification
arrangement or any D & O Insurance purchased and maintained by Corporation;
(b) in respect to remuneration paid to Director if it shall be determined
by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such remuneration was in
violation of law;
(c) on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against Director
for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Director of
securities of Corporation pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of
any federal, state or local statutory law;
(d) on account of Director's conduct which is finally adjudged to have been
knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, or to constitute willful
misconduct; or
(e) if a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall
determine that such indemnification is not lawful.
4. Contribution. If the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 is
unavailable and may not be paid to Director for any reason other than those set
forth in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of Section 3, then in respect of any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which Corporation
is jointly liable with Director (or would be if joined in such action, suit or
proceeding), Corporation shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred and paid or -2-
<PAGE>
payable by Director in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the
relative benefits received by Corporation on the one hand and Director on the
other hand from the transaction from which such action, suit or proceeding
arose, and (ii) the relative fault of Corporation on the one hand and of
Director on the other in connection with the events which resulted in such
expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of Corporation on the one hand and
of Director on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such expenses,
judgments, fines or settlement amounts. Corporation agrees that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by
pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the foregoing equitable considerations.
5. Continuation of Obligations. All agreements and obligations of
Corporation contained herein shall terminate on the date that Director ceases to
be a director of the Corporation (the "Termination Date"); provided, however,
that such agreements and obligations shall continue thereafter with respect to
any claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal or investigative, to which Director is or becomes
subject on or subsequent to the Termination Date by reason of the fact that
Director was a director of Corporation or serving in any other capacity referred
to herein on or prior to the Termination Date.
6. Notification and Defense of Claim. Promptly after receipt by Director of
notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, Director will, if
a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Corporation under this
Agreement, notify Corporation of the commencement thereof; but the omission so
to notify Corporation will not relieve it from any liability which it may have
to Director otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any such
action, suit or proceeding as to which Director notifies Corporation of the
commencement thereof:
(a) Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;
(b) except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish,
Corporation jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be
entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Director. After notice from Corporation to Director of its election to assume
the defense thereof, Corporation will not be liable to Director under this
Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Director in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation
or as otherwise provided below. Director shall have the right to employ counsel
to represent Director in such action, suit or proceeding, but the fees
-3-
<PAGE>
and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from Corporation of its
assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Director unless
such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to Corporation and (i) Director shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between
Corporation and Director in the conduct of the defense of such action, or (ii)
Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of
Director in such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel
shall be at the expense of Corporation. Corporation shall not be entitled to
assume the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding brought by or on
behalf of Corporation or as to which Director shall have made the conclusion
provided for in (ii) above. Director also shall have the right to employ counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Corporation to represent Director in any such action,
suit or proceeding with respect to which Corporation does not assume the
defense; and
(c) Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify Director under this
Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected
without its written consent. Corporation shall not settle any action or claim in
any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Director without
Director's written consent. Neither Corporation nor Director will unreasonably
withhold its consent to any proposed settlement.
7. Advancement and Repayment of Expenses.
(a) In the event that Director employs Director's own counsel pursuant to
Section 6(b) above, Corporation shall advance to Director, prior to any final
disposition of any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, any and all reasonable
expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in investigating or
defending any such action, suit or proceeding within ten (10) days after
receiving copies of invoices presented to Director for such expenses.
(b) Director agrees that Director will reimburse Corporation for all
reasonable expenses paid by Corporation in defending any civil or criminal
action, suit or proceeding against Director in the event and only to the extent
it shall be ultimately determined pursuant to the procedure specified in Section
145(d) of the Code that Director is not entitled, under the provisions of the
Code, the Bylaws, this Agreement or otherwise, to be indemnified by Corporation
for such expenses.
8. Enforcement.
(a) Corporation expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this
Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on Corporation hereby in order to
induce Director to continue as a director of Corporation, and acknowledges that
Director is relying upon this Agreement in continuing in such capacity.
-4-
<PAGE>
(b) In the event Director is required to bring any action to enforce rights
or to collect moneys due under this Agreement and is successful in such action,
Corporation shall reimburse Director for all of Director's reasonable fees and
expenses in bringing and pursuing such action.
9. Separability. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and
distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision
hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of the other provisions hereof.
10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
11. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon Director and upon
Corporation, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of
Director, his heirs, personal representatives and assigns, and to the benefit of
Corporation, its successors and assigns.

All performance reviews of Employee will be by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
2. Employee Benefits:
Employee will be entitled to all XOMA employee benefits, which shall
include:
(a) Xoma's standard insurance benefits;
(b) In addition to the foregoing:
i. Life Insurance. Xoma will provide Employee with supplemental
life insurance for the amount that an annual premium of $18,000

personal tax and financial planning, at an annual cost to Xoma not to

3. Relocation:
It will be necessary for Employee to relocate to the greater Berkeley,
California area, and the Corporation will provide reimbursement for all
necessary and reasonable costs including but not limited to the actual cost of
the movement of Employee's goods, packing, insuring and so forth; real estate
brokers and related fees; and costs of Employee for acquiring a mortgage on a
new principal residence. All of these costs will be grossed up for federal and
state income tax purposes. For this purpose, "grossed up" means that in the case
of a reimbursed expense that is taxable to Employee and is not deductible for
one or both of federal and state income tax purposes, Employee will be paid an
amount which, after taxes on such amount, will equal the amount of the
non-deductible reimbursable expenses. Appropriate temporary housing, if
required, will be provided to Employee at no additional out-of-
-4-
<PAGE>
pocket expense for a period of up to six (6) months after commencement of
employment. The relocation benefits shall be in effect for a period of one year

4. Vacation:

As an inducement to Employee to enter into the employment of the
Corporation, an option has been granted to Employee in accordance with the
now-in-force option plan in the amount of 500,000 shares of the common stock of
the Corporation. Such option shall be in accordance with such option plan, and
shall be in accordance with the currently existing form of Stock Option
Agreement under the Xoma Corporation 1981 Stock Option Plan, as amended, a copy
of which is attached hereto as Appendix A.
6. Additional Capacities, President and Chief Executive Officer:
Employee is required to assume the responsibilities of President and Chief
Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation with
all the rights and privileges typically associated with this type of role. As
the President and Chief Executive Officer, Employee will report to the Board of

Corporation, interpreting and applying the policies and direction of the Board
of Directors, making and applying supplemental applications and guidelines,
building and controlling the operations of the Corporation, executing the
corporate strategy, and practicing diligent management. Commensurate with the

Corporation with the objective of providing maximum profit and return on
invested capital and assuring the development, manufacture and marketing of only
safe and efficacious products; establishing current and long-range objectives,

7. Business Expense Reimbursement, and Perquisites:
During the term of his employment hereunder, Employee shall be entitled to
receive proper reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred

at his option to fly commercially on a class of service chosen by Employee.
Employee will be required at Corporation expense to take an annual physical
examination by a physician of his own choice acceptable to the Corporation, and
a report of any material health problems shall be rendered to the Board.
8. Early Termination Obligation of the Corporation:
While this Employment Agreement provides for termination of at-will
employment of the Employee, as part of the inducement and offer to Employee to
enter into employment with the Corporation, should the Corporation terminate the
services of Employee as an Employee of the Corporation for any reason other than
for "Due Cause" (as that term is defined hereinbelow), the Corporation shall pay
Employee's base level salary in effect at the time of any such termination for
one year thereafter. Such termination other than for Due Cause shall include
termination by the Employee for "Good Reason" (as that therm is defined
hereinbelow), in which event the Corporation shall be obligated to pay such
one-year salary.
9. Consequence of Termination of Employment:
9.1 Death. In the event of the death of the Employee during the term of
this Agreement, his salary shall cease at the end of the month in which death
occurs and all unpaid amounts, shall be paid to the Employee's designated
beneficiary, or in the absence of such designation to the estate or other legal
representative of the Employee at the time of death. Other death benefits will
be determined in accordance with the terms of the Corporation's benefit programs
and plans.
9.2 Disability. In the event of the Employee's permanent disability, the
Employee shall be entitled to his salary for a period of one (1) year after such
disability commences and other benefits as determined in accordance with the
terms of the Corporation's benefit programs and plans.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation
is hereby given the option to terminate the Employee's employment in the event
that the Employee shall, during the term hereof, become permanently disabled as
the term permanently disabled is hereinafter defined. Such option shall be
-6-
<PAGE>
exercised by the Corporation giving notice to Employee by certified mail of the
Corporation's intention to terminate his employment due to permanent disability
on the last day of the month during which such notice is mailed.
For purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall be deemed to have become
permanently disabled, if, during the term hereof, because of physical or mental
disability he becomes unable or shall have been unable to perform his duties
hereunder (a) for 120 consecutive days, or (b) for 180 days (irrespective of
whether such days are consecutive) occurring during any period of 365
consecutive days.
During a period in which the one-year salary payments are being made
pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 9.2, the Employee will undergo
reasonable periodic medical examinations to confirm the continuation of his
disability. Such medical examinations will be conducted by a medical doctor
chosen by the parties. If the parties cannot agree on such a doctor, they each
shall select a medical doctor and the two doctors shall select a third medical
doctor for this purpose. In the event that the Corporation has terminated
Employee because of permanent disability notwithstanding a determination by a
medical doctor, chosen as described in the preceding sentence, that Employee is
no longer subject to a permanent disability as defined in this Section 9.2,
Employee will continue to be entitled to receive the one-year salary payments as
herein set forth, provided that, following such determination, he makes a
continuing reasonable effort to find employment at such time commensurate with
his abilities, experience, and background.
9.3 Termination by the Corporation for Due Cause. Nothing herein shall
prevent the Corporation from terminating Employee's employment for Due Cause.
Employee shall continue to receive salary for the period ending with the date of
such termination as provided in this Section 9.3. Any rights and benefits he may
have in respect of any other compensation or employee benefit plans or programs
of the Corporation shall be determined in accordance with the terms of such
other compensation arrangements or such other plans or programs.
The term "Due Cause", as used herein, shall mean that (a) the Employee has
committed a willful, serious act, such as embezzlement, against the Corporation
intending to enrich himself at the expense of the Corporation or (b) the
Employee, in carrying out his duties hereunder, has been guilty of willful,
gross negligence (including competition as defined in Section 13, resulting in
either case in material harm to the Corporation (this provision shall not apply
to any particular instance which is merely the result of any good faith error in
judgment), (c) the willful and continued failure by Employee to substantially
perform his duties with the Corporation (other than any such failure
-7-
<PAGE>
resulting from Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a
demand for substantial performance is delivered to Employee by the Board which
specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that Employee has
not substantially performed his duties, or (d) the willful engaging by Employee
in gross misconduct materially and demonstrably injurious to the Corporation.
For purposes of this paragraph, no act, or failure to act, on Employee's part
shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by Employee,
not in good faith and without reasonable belief that Employee's action or
omission was in the best interest of the Corporation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall not be deemed to have been
terminated for Due Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to him
a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for the
purpose (after reasonable notice to Employee and an opportunity for Employee,
together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the
good faith opinion of the Board Employee was guilty of conduct set forth above
and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.
9.4 Termination by Corporation Other than for Due Cause. The foregoing
notwithstanding, the Corporation may terminate the Employee's employment for
whatever reason it deems appropriate, provided, however, that in the event such
termination is not due to permanent disability as provided in Section 9.2, or
based on Due Cause as provided in Section 9.3, the Employee will continue to
receive his salary as provided in Section 8 for the term of one year from the
date of such termination. During the period of salary continuation hereunder the
Employee will be entitled to continued benefit coverage and benefit credits as
provided in Section 6 hereof or the economic equivalent. Any such benefit
coverage, or economic equivalent thereto, will be offset by comparable coverage
provided to the Employee in connection with any subsequent employment.
9.5 Termination by the Employee for Good Reason. Employee may terminate his
employment under this Agreement for Good Reason in which event the Corporation
shall still have the same obligations to Employee under this Agreement as
provided for in Section 9.4.
9.5.1 "Good Reason" shall mean:
(a) Without Employee's express written consent, the assignment
to Employee of any duties inconsistent with his positions, duties,
responsibilities and status with the Corporation immediately prior to a
Change in Control, as hereinafter defined, or a change in his reporting
responsibilities, title or offices as in effect immediately
-8-

prior to a change in control, or any removal of Employee from or any
failure to re-elect him to any of such positions, except in connection
with the termination of his employment for Due Cause, Disability or
Retirement or as a result of his death or by Employee other than for
Good Reason;
(b) A reduction in Employee's base salary or benefits or a
breach of the Corporation's obligations undertaken in this Agreement;
(c) In the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control,
this Agreement may be terminated by Employee only upon the occurrence
thereafter of one or more of the following events:
i. Any termination by the Corporation of the
Employment of Employee within three (3) years after a Change
in Control and prior to the date upon which Employee shall
have attained age 65, which termination shall be for any
reason other than for Due Cause or as a result of the death of
Employee or by reason of Employee's disability and the actual
receipt of disability benefits as provided in Section 9.2
hereof; or
ii. Termination by Employee of his employment with
the Corporation within three (3) years after a Change in
Control and upon the occurrence of any of the following
events:

Corporation (or any successor thereto), if Employee
shall have been a director of the Corporation
immediately prior to the Change in Control, or the
office of the Corporation which Employee held
immediately prior to a Change in Control;
(B) A significant adverse change in the
nature or scope of the authorities, powers,
functions, responsibilities or duties attached to the
position with the Corporation which Employee had
immediately prior to the Change in Control, a
reduction in the aggregate of Employee's Base Pay and
Incentive Pay received from the Corporation, or the
termination of Employee's rights to any Employee
Benefit to which he was entitled immediately prior to
the Change in Control or a reduction in scope or
value thereof without the prior written consent of
Employee, any of which is not remedied within ten
(10) calendar days after receipt by the Corporation
of written notice from
-9-

Employee of such change, reduction or termination,
as the case may be;
(C) A determination by Employee made in good
faith that as a result of a Change in Control and a
change in circumstances thereafter significantly
affecting his position, he has been rendered
substantially unable to carry out, or has been
substantially hindered in the performance of, any of
the authorities, powers, functions, responsibilities
or duties attached to his position immediately prior
to the Change in Control, which situation is not
remedied within ten (10) calendar days after receipt
by the Corporation of written notice from Employee of
such determination;
(D) The liquidation, dissolution, merger,
consolidation or reorganization of the Corporation or
transfer of all or a significant portion of its
business and/or assets unless the successor or
successors (by liquidation, merger, consolidation,
reorganization or otherwise) to which all or a
significant portion of its business and/or assets
have been transferred (directly or by operation of
law) shall have assumed all duties and obligations of
the Corporation under this Agreement; or
(E) The Corporation shall relocate its
principal executive offices or require Employee to
have as his principal location of work any location
which is in excess of 100 miles from the location
thereof immediately prior to the Termination Date or

discharging his responsibilities or duties hereunder
more than thirty (30) consecutive calendar days or an
aggregate of more than sixty (60) calendar days in
any consecutive 365-calendar day period without in
either case his prior consent.
(d) Subsequent to a change in control of the Corporation, the
failure by the Corporation to obtain the assumption of the obligation
to perform this Agreement by any successor; or:
(e) Subsequent to a change in control of the Corporation, any
purported termination of Employee's employment which is not effected
pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of
Section 9.7 hereof.

has or may have occurred or will or may occur in the future pursuant to
any then-existing contract or transaction; or

elected during such period was approved by a vote of at least

the employ of the Company upon the terms and conditions hereinafter provided;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

(the "Chairman").
3. Term and Duties.
(a) Term of Employment. This Agreement shall become effective and the term
of employment pursuant to this Agreement shall commence on March 28, 1997 and
will continue for one (1) year until March 27, 1998, when it will terminate
unless it is extended by mutual written consent of Executive and the Company or
unless Executive's employment is terminated by the Company or he resigns from
the Company's employ as described herein.
(b) Duties. During the period of his employment hereunder Executive shall
serve the Company as its Chief Scientific and Medical Officer, and except for
illnesses, vacation periods and reasonable leaves of absence, Executive shall

(c) Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse Executive
for all reasonable travel and other expenses incurred by Executive in performing
his obligations under this Agreement in a manner consistent with past Company
practice. The Company further agrees to furnish Executive with such assistance
and accommodations as shall be suitable to the character of Executive's position
with the Company, adequate for the performance of his duties and consistent with
past Company practice.
5. Participation in Benefit Plans. The payments provided in Section 4
hereof are in addition to benefits Executive is entitled to under any group
hospitalization, health, dental care, disability insurance, surety bond, death
benefit plan, travel and/or accident insurance, other allowance and/or executive
compensation plan, including, without limitation, any senior staff incentive
plan, capital accumulation and termination pay programs, restricted or
non-restricted stock purchase plan, stock option plan, retirement income or
pension plan or other present or future group employee benefit plan or program
of the Company for which key executives are or shall become eligible, and

this Agreement, and during any subsequent
2
<PAGE>
period(s) for which he shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company
under paragraph 6(b) below, all benefits and emoluments for which key executives
are eligible under every such plan or program to the extent permissible under
the general terms and provisions of such plans or programs and in accordance
with the provisions thereof.
6. Payments to Executive Upon Termination of Employment.
(a) Termination. Upon the occurrence of an event of termination (as
hereinafter defined) during the period of Executive's employment under this
Agreement, the provisions of this paragraph 6(a) and paragraph 6(b) shall apply.
As used in this Agreement, an "event of termination" shall mean and include any
one or more of the following:
(i) The termination by the Company of Executive's employment
hereunder for any reason other than pursuant to paragraph 6(c); or
(ii) Executive's resignation from the Company's employ, upon not
less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice.
(b) Continuation of Salary and Other Benefits. Upon the occurrence of an
event of termination under paragraph 6(a), the Company (i) shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 7 below, pay Executive, or in the event of his subsequent
death, his beneficiary or beneficiaries of his estate, as the case may be, as
severance pay or liquidated damages, or both, semi-monthly for a period of
twelve (12) months following the event of termination (the "Severance Payment
Period"), a sum equal to his current salary in effect at the time of the event
of termination, but in no case less than $300,000 per annum, (ii) shall continue
to provide the other benefits referred to in Section 5 hereof until the end of
the Severance Payment Period or until Executive becomes employed elsewhere,
whichever is earlier, and (iii) shall continue to provide the benefits provided
for in paragraph 4(c) to the extent of expenses incurred but not reimbursed
prior to the event of termination. Such payments shall commence on the last day
of the next regular pay period following the date of the event of termination,
or, at the election of the Company, may be paid in one lump sum or in such other
installments as may be mutually agreed between the Company and Executive or, in
the event of his subsequent death, his beneficiary or beneficiaries or legal
representative, as the case may be.
(c) Other Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding paragraphs 6(a) and
(b) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if on or after the
date of this Agreement and prior to the end of the term hereof:
(i) Executive has been convicted of any crime or offense
constituting a felony under applicable law, including, without
limitation, any act of dishonesty
3
<PAGE>
such as embezzlement, theft or larceny;
(ii) Executive shall act or refrain from acting in respect of any
of the duties and responsibilities which have been assigned to him in
accordance with this Agreement and shall fail to desist from such
action or inaction within ten (10) days (or such longer period of
time, not exceeding ninety (90) days, as Executive shall in good faith
and the exercise of reasonable efforts require to desist from such
action or inaction) after Executive's receipt of notice from the
Company of such action or inaction and the Board of Directors
determines that such action or inaction constituted gross negligence
or a willful act of malfeasance or misfeasance of Executive in respect
of such duties; or
(iii) Executive shall breach any material term of this Agreement
and shall fail to correct such breach within ten (10) days (or such
longer period of time, not exceeding ninety (90) days, as Executive
shall in good faith and the exercise of reasonable efforts require to
cure such breach) after Executive's receipt of notice from the Company
of such breach;
then, and in each such case, the Company shall have the right to give notice of
termination of Employee's services hereunder as of a date (not earlier than
fourteen (14) days from such notice) to be specified in such notice and this
Agreement (other than the provisions of Section 7 hereof) shall terminate on
such date.
7. Post-Termination Obligations. All payments and benefits to Executive
under this Agreement shall be subject to Executive's compliance with the
following provisions during the term of his employment and for the Severance
Payment Period:
(a) Confidential Information and Competitive Conduct. Executive shall not,
to the detriment of the Company, disclose or reveal to any unauthorized person
any trade secret or other confidential information relating to the Company or
its affiliates or to any businesses operated by them, and Executive confirms
that such information constitutes the exclusive property of the Company.
Executive shall not otherwise act or conduct himself to the material detriment
of the Company or its affiliates, or in a manner which is inimical or contrary
to the interests thereof, and shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in,
enter the employ of or render any service to any person, firm or business in
direct competition with any part of the business being conducted by the Company;
provided, however, that Executive's ownership less than five percent (5%) of the
outstanding stock of a corporation shall not be itself be deemed to constitute
such competition. Executive recognizes that the possible restrictions on his
activities which may occur as a result of his performance of his obligations
under this paragraph 7(a) are required for the reasonable protection of the
Company and its investments. For purposes hereof, "direct competition"
4
<PAGE>
means the pursuit of one or more of the same therapeutic or diagnostic
indications utilizing a substantially similar scientific basis.
(b) Failure of Executive to Comply. If, for any reason other than death or
disability, Executive shall, without written consent of the Company, fail to
comply with the provisions of paragraph 7(a) above, his rights to any future
payments or other benefits hereunder shall terminate, and the Company's
obligations to make such payments and provide such benefits shall cease.
(c) Remedies. Executive agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by the Company by reason of a breach of the
provisions of this Section 7 and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
8. Effect of Prior Agreements. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes any prior employment
agreements between the Company and Executive.
9. General Provisions.
(a) Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to
the benefit of, Executive and the Company and their respective permitted
successors and assigns.
(b) Legal Expenses. In the event that Executive incurs legal expenses in
contesting any provision of this Agreement and such contest results in a
determination that the Company has breached any of its obligations hereunder,
Executive shall be reimbursed by the Company for such legal expenses.
10. Successors and Assigns.
(a) Assignment by the Company. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company and, unless
clearly inapplicable, reference herein to the Company shall be deemed to include
its successors and assigns.
(b) Assignment by Executive. Executive may not assign this Agreement in
whole or in part.
11. Modification and Waiver.
(a) Amendment of Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified or amended
except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.
(b) Waiver. No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have
been waived except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver.
No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically
stated
5
<PAGE>
therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or
condition waived.
12. Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement or any part
hereof is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any remaining part of
such provision or any other provision. If any court construes any provision of
this Agreement to be illegal, void or unenforceable because of the duration or
the area or matter covered thereby, such court shall reduce the duration, area
or matter of such provision, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then
be enforceable and shall be enforced.
13. Governing Law. This Agreement has been executed and delivered in the
State of California, and its validity interpretation, performance, and
enforcement shall be governed by the laws of said State.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, XOMA has caused this Agreement to be executed by its
duly authorized officer, and Executive has signed this Agreement, all as of the
day and year first above written.

PROMISSORY NOTE
$251,297.46 Berkeley, California
March 28, 1997
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (the "Obligor") hereby unconditionally
promises to pay to the order of XOMA Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Obligee"), the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED
NINETY-SEVEN DOLLARS AND FORTY-SIX CENTS ($251,297.46) (the "Principal Amount")
together with interest from the date hereof at a rate per annum of six percent
(6%) on the earlier of (a) five (5) days after the demand of the Obligee if the
Obligor ceases to be employed by the Obligee or (b) the 27th day of March, 1998.
Said principal sum, and/or any accrued interest, may be prepaid in whole or in
part without premium or penalty.
1. It is hereby understood and agreed that if default be made in the
payment of the Principal Amount or of interest accrued and unpaid thereon, then
the Obligee may exercise any remedies available at law or in equity, including,
but not limited to, foreclosure upon the shares of Obligee's common stock which
have hereupon been pledged by the Obligor to the Obligee as security for the
Obligor's obligations hereunder pursuant to a Pledge Agreement, but shall not be
obligated to proceed first against such collateral and may proceed directly on
this Promissory Note. In the event of any such default, the Obligee shall be
entitled also to all costs of collection, including the reasonable fees of an
attorney. In the event the Obligee proceeds against the collateral and the
proceeds of the collateral are inadequate to pay any amounts due on this
Promissory Note, the Obligor shall remain liable for any deficiency. In
addition, and without limitation of any other provision of this Paragraph, in
the event of any default described above, the Obligor authorizes and requests
the Obligee to deduct and withhold from compensation otherwise payable by the
Obligee to the Obligor an amount equal to the defaulted payment of the Principal
Amount and/or of interest accrued and unpaid thereon; provided however, that the
Obligee may not so deduct more than fifty (50) percent of any payment of
compensation otherwise due the Obligor.
2. If application shall be made for the appointment of a receiver, trustee
or liquidator of the Obligor or any of his property, or if the Obligor shall
make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, be adjudicated a
bankrupt or file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or seek reorganization of
any arrangement with creditors, the Obligee may declare this Promissory Note to
be due and payable, whereupon this Promissory Note shall forthwith become due
and payable without presentment,
1
<PAGE>
demand, protest, or notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment
or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.
3. No delay or omission on the part of the Obligee in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right, nor
shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or
waiver of the same or any other right on any future occasion.
4. If any provision of this Promissory Note should be found to be invalid
or unenforceable, all other provisions shall nevertheless remain in full force
and effect. This Promissory Note and any of its terms may be changed, waived or
terminated only by a written instrument signed by the party against which
enforcement of that change, waiver or termination is sought. The rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted and
enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of California,
without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.
WITNESS the due execution hereof as of the date first above written.

free and clear of any lien, security interest, option or other charge or

the provisions of this Section (b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of

notification. The Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.

proceeds received by the Pledgee in respect of any sale of, collection from, or

payment in full of all the Obligations shall be paid over the Pledgor or to
whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

XOMA CORPORATION
890 HEINZ STREET
TRIPLE NET LABORATORY LEASE
LEASE made and entered into this 22 day of July 1987, between SEVENTH
STREET PROPERTIES ("Lessor") and XOMA CORPORATION ("Lessee").
R E C I T A L S:
A. Lessor and Lessee entered into an earlier Lease (the "Original Lease")
for the Premises described herein.
B. Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Lessee is entering into
three other leases with Seventh Street Properties II, an affiliate of Lessee,
for approximately 35,000 square feet in Building E, approximately 20,000 square
feet in Building F and approximately 6,720 square feet in Building C at the
Aquatic Park Center (referred to respectively as the "Building E Lease",
"Building F Lease" and "Building C Lease").
C. In connection with Lessee's leasing of such additional space in
Buildings E, F and C, and as partial consideration therefor, Lessor and Lessee
desire to amend the terms of the Original Lease effective as of the Commencement
Date referenced below and to restate the Original Lease in its entirety below to
include such amended terms.
D. The Building E Lease, the Building C Lease and this Lease are intended
to be read together so that a breach of one is deemed to be a breach of the
other.
A G R E E M E N T:
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1.0 BASIC LEASE TERMS.
1.1 Commencement Of Lease: The term of this Lease shall commence
October 1, 1987.
1.2 Lease Term: Through April 30, 2003.
1.3 Monthly Rent: $22,333.
1.4 Security Deposit: $22,333.
1.5 Use: Pharmaceutical manufacturing, offices, laboratories,
shipping and receiving relating to pharmaceutical products.
2.0 PREMISES.
Lessor hereby leases to Lessee that certain building and real property
located at 890 Heinz Street, Berkeley, California (the "Premises"). The building
on the Premises
-1-
<PAGE>
constitutes approximately 24,275 square feet of leaseable space. Exhibit A
attached hereto further describes the Premises being leased hereby.
3.0 TERM.
3.1 Commencement. The Lease shall commence on the date specified in
Paragraph 1.1 above (the "Commencement Date") and shall continue thereafter for
the term specified in Paragraph 1.2 above (the "Initial Term"), unless sooner
terminated pursuant to this Lease.
3.2 Option To Terminate. Lessee is hereby granted an option to terminate
the Lease effective April 30, 1998 by giving written notice to Lessor of
Lessee's intent to terminate (the "Termination Notice") on or before July 31,
1997.
3.3 Option To Extend Term. Lessee is hereby granted an option to extend the
term for a five year period following the expiration of the Initial Term (the
"Option Term") by giving written notice to the Lessor of Lessee's intent to
exercise such option (the "Option Notice") at least 270 days before the
expiration of the Initial Term. The Option Term shall be on the same terms and
conditions in effect immediately before the end of the Initial Term, except that
the rent shall be set at 95% of the fair market lease rate for comparable space
in the Berkeley area, provided that in no event shall the rental rate for the
Option Term be less than the rental rate as of the last day of the Initial Term.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, if Lessee is in default in the
payment of rent, in the making of other payments required to be made by Lessee
under this lease, or otherwise under this Lease on the date the Option Notice is
delivered to Lessor or on the date the Option Term is to commence, the Option
Term shall not commence and this Lease shall expire at the end of the Initial
Term.
3.4 Term. All references to the "Term" in this Lease shall include the
Initial Term set forth in Paragraph 3.1 plus any extensions pursuant to
Paragraph 3.3.
3.5 Fair Market Lease Rate. Lessor shall give Lessee notice ("Lessor's
Notice") of the fair market lease rate after receiving Lessee's written notice
of intent to exercise the Option, provided that Lessor's Notice shall not be
delivered later than 120 days prior to the commencement of the Option Term. If
Lessee believes that the fair market lease rate as established by Lessor is
incorrect, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing within 20 days of Lessee's
receipt of the notice from Lessor that Lessee desires to submit the matter to
appraisal with a designation of an MAI qualified appraiser. If Lessor agrees
with the identity of such appraiser, it shall within 10 days notify the
appraiser and Lessee that such appraiser shall determine the fair market lease
rate (including fair market increases during the Option Term). If not, Lessor
shall submit the name of its appraiser to Lessee within said 10 days. The two
appraisers so selected shall choose a third appraiser and the three together
shall determine the fair market lease rate (including fair market increases
during the Option Term). If the two appraisers cannot select a third
-2-
<PAGE>
appraiser within 20 days after Lessor submits the name of its appraiser, either
party may at any time apply to the presiding judge of any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of the third appraiser. If the three appraisers
are unable to agree on the fair market lease rate they shall each determine the
fair market lease rate assuming annual CPI increases during the Option Term and
then average their determinations by tossing out the high and low appraisal and
accepting the middle appraisal as the fair market lease rate. The costs of the
appraisal process shall be borne by Lessee unless the fair market lease rate as
determined by the appraisal is more than 10% below the lease rate set forth in
Lessor's Notice in which case Lessor and Lessee shall share the costs of the
appraisal process equally. The appraisal process shall be completed as quickly
as reasonably possible. If for any reason the Option Term commences prior to the
conclusion of the appraisal process, Lessee shall continue to pay the monthly
base rent then in effect to Lessor plus 10% of such amount, which 10% only shall
be held by Lessor in escrow pending completion of the appraisal process, at
which time all funds held in escrow shall be distributed to Lessee and/or Lessor
in accordance with the outcome of the appraisal process, and Lessee shall
subsequently be bound by the lease rate as determined by the appraisal process.
The rent during the Option Term shall continue to be adjusted as agreed upon
between Lessor and Lessee or as determined by the appraisal process.
4.0 RENT
4.1 Monthly Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor as rent for the Premises in
advance on the first day of each calendar month of the Term without deduction,
offset, prior notice or demand, in lawful money of the United States, the sum
specified in Paragraph 1.3 above which is based $.92 per square foot on the
square footage set forth in Paragraph 2.0. The rent owing shall be adjusted as
necessary if the actual square footage is shown to be other than as set forth in
Paragraph 2.0.
4.2 Rent Adjustment. For the period through April 30, 1998 the base rent
set forth in Paragraph 4.1 above shall be adjusted as follows. On October 1,
1990 and every three years thereafter (the "Adjustment Dates"), by the
percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (all items) for all urban
consumers in the San Francisco-Oakland metropolitan area, published by the
United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The monthly rent
until the next Adjustment Date shall be the greater of (a) the rent in effect
immediately before the Adjustment Date or (b) the initial rent set forth in
Paragraph 4.1 above multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
said Index number for the calendar month three months prior to the Adjustment
Date and the denominator of which shall be said Index number for the calendar
month three months prior to the first full calendar month following the
Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the above, in no case shall the increase as
of any Adjustment Date exceed 21% plus the Carry Forward. As used above, the
"Carry Forward" shall mean the percentage increases in CPI which are not used at
earlier Adjustment Dates to adjust the rent because of this limitation. For
example, if the CPI increase is 15% on October
-3-
<PAGE>
1, 1990, then the Carry Forward is six percent and the CPI increase on October
1, 1993 shall be the actual CPI increase, not to exceed 27%. If the actual CPI
increase on October 1, 1993 were 23%, then the Carry Forward to October 1, 1996
would be four percent. Should the Bureau discontinue the publication of said
Index numbers, or publish the same less frequently, or alter the same in some
other manner, then Lessor shall adopt a substitute index or procedure which
reasonably reflects consumer prices. Commencing May 1, 1998, the adjustment
mechanism set forth above shall be discarded and rent shall be adjusted to 95%
of the fair market lease rate as of May 1, 1998 for comparable space in the
Berkeley area, provided that in no event shall the new rental rate be less than
the rental rate in effect immediately before such adjustment. (Adjustments
subsequent to May 1, 1998 shall be determined in the course of establishing the
fair market lease rate.) On or before January 1, 1998, Lessor shall provide
Lessee with notice of the May 1, 1998 fair market lease rate. The fair market
lease rate shall then be determined in accordance with Paragraph 3.5, and the
notice referenced above shall be deemed "Lessor's Notice."
4.3 Mode Of Payment. Lessee shall pay all rent due Lessor at Lessor's
address set forth on the signature page hereof, or any such other place as
Lessor may designate from time to time in writing.
4.4 Triple Net Lease. This Lease is what is commonly called a "Net, Net,
Net Lease," it being understood that Lessor shall receive the rent set forth
herein free and clear of any and all other impositions, taxes, liens, charges or
expenses of any nature whatsoever in connection with the ownership and operation
of the Premises. In the event of non-payment of all or any portion of such
charges, costs and expenses, Lessor shall have the same rights and remedies as
provided in this Lease for failure of Lessee to pay rent. Lessee shall in no
event be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent or other monetary sums
payable hereunder, except as expressly provided herein, notwithstanding any
present or future law to the contrary.
4.5 Estimated Payments. Lessee shall be notified by Lessor of Estimated
Payments for taxes, insurance, maintenance of the landscaping and parking lot,
and landscaping and parking lot utilities and services from time to time. The
Estimated Payments shall be paid by Lessee together with rent, on the first day
of each month throughout the Term. The Estimated Payments may be increased or
decreased by Lessor upon 30 days' written notice to Lessee based upon statements
received or charges incurred by Lessor, information available to Lessor as to
the probable cost of expected charges and expenses, or the reasonable estimate
of Lessor as to the probable amount of expected charges or expenses. Lessor
shall be entitled to retain the monies received from such payments in its
general fund pending payment of all such costs and charges. No more frequently
than once each calendar quarter, the actual costs shall be determined by Lessor,
and Lessee shall remit to Lessor on demand its unpaid pro rata share of the
actual expense. In the event Lessee paid more than the actual expenses for such
period of time, Lessor shall apply such overpayment towards the next Estimated
Payments owing by Lessee. At the termination of
- 4 -
<PAGE>
this Lease, an accounting for such charges and expenses shall be made to the
nearest practical accounting period, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor any balance
due, or the Lessor shall refund to Lessee any excess amount paid.
4.6 Security Deposit. Lessee has deposited with Lessor as a security
deposit the sum specified in Paragraph 1.4 above (the "Deposit"). On May 1, 1998
and May 1, 2003 (unless the Lease is terminated or the Option is not exercised,
as the case may be) Lessee shall increase the Deposit to that amount which is
equal to the newly established monthly rental. The Deposit shall be held by
Lessor as a security deposit for the faithful performance by Lessee of all
terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by
Lessee during the Term. If Lessee defaults with respect to any provisions of
this Lease, including but not limited to the provisions relating to the payment
of rent and any of the monetary sums due hereunder, Lessor may (but shall not be
required to) use, apply or retain any part or all of the Deposit for the payment
of any amount which Lessor may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of
Lessee's default or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor may
suffer by reason of Lessee's default. If any portion of the Deposit is so used
or applied, Lessee shall, within 10 days after written demand therefor, deposit
cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore the Deposit to its original
amount; Lessee's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease.
Lessor shall not be required to keep the Deposit separate from its general
funds, and Lessee shall not be entitled to interest on the Deposit. If Lessee
shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed
by it, the Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Lessee (or, at
Lessor's option, to the last assignee of Lessee's interests hereunder) at the
expiration of the Term and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. In the event
of termination of Lessor's interest in this Lease, Lessor shall transfer the
Deposit to Lessor's successor in interest, whereupon Lessee agrees to release
Lessor from all liability for the return of the Deposit or the accounting
therefor.
4.7 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to
Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on the Lessor by
the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if
any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be received
by Lessor or Lessor's designee within 10 days after such amount shall be due,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to five percent of such overdue
amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by
Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a
waiver of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent a
Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

<PAGE>
5.0 TAXES.
5.1 Real Property Taxes. Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor in addition to the
rent and other charges herein all Real Property Taxes in accordance with
Paragraph 4.5. As used herein, "Real Property Taxes" shall include any form of
assessment, license, fee, rent, tax, levy, penalty or tax imposed by any
authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any improvement
district, as against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Premises
or as against Lessor's business of renting the Premises. Lessee's share of Real
Property Taxes shall be equitably prorated to cover only the period of time
within the fiscal tax year during which this Lease is in effect. With respect to
any assessments which may be levied against or upon the Premises, and which may
be paid in annual installments, only the amount of such annual installments
(with appropriate proration for any partial year) and interest due thereon shall
be included within the computation of the annual Real Property Taxes. Lessor
represents that, to the best of his knowledge, there are no assessment or
improvement districts being planned which would affect the Premises other than
as in effect as of the date of this Lease.
5.2 Personal Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay before delinquency all taxes
levied or assessed on Lessee's fixtures, improvements, furnishings, merchandise,
equipment and personal property in and on the Premises, whether or not affixed
to the real property. If Lessee in good faith contests the validity of any such
personal property taxes, then Lessee shall at its sole expense defend itself and
Lessor against the same and shall pay and satisfy any adverse determination or
judgment that may be rendered thereon and shall furnish Lessor with a surety
bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to 150% of such contested taxes.
Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against liability for any such taxes and/or any
liens placed on the Premises in connection with such taxes. If at any time after
any tax or assessment has become due or payable Lessee or its legal
representative neglects to pay such tax or assessment, Lessor shall be entitled,
but not obligated, to pay the same at any time thereafter and such amount so
paid by Lessor shall be repaid by Lessee to Lessor with Lessee's next rent
installment together with interest at the highest rate allowable by law.
6.0 INSURANCE.
6.1 Property/Rental Insurance - Premises. During the Term, Lessor shall
keep the Premises insured against loss or damage by fire and those risks
normally included in the term "all risk" including (a) flood coverage at the
election of Lessor, (b) earthquake coverage at the reasonable election of
Lessor, (c) coverage for loss of rents and (d) boiler and machinery coverage if
the Lessor deems necessary. Any deductibles shall be paid by Lessee if the
deductible arises from damage solely to the Premises. The amount of such
insurance shall be not less than l00% of the replacement value of the Premises.
Any recovery received from said insurance policy shall be paid to Lessor.
Lessee, in addition to the rent and other charges provided herein, agrees to pay
to Lessor
-6-
<PAGE>
the premiums for all such insurance. The insurance premiums shall be paid in
accordance with Paragraph 4.5. Lessee shall pay to Lessor any deductibles owing
within 15 days after receipt of notice from Lessor of the amount owing.
6.2 Property Insurance - Fixtures And Inventory. During the Term, Lessee
shall, at its sole expense, maintain insurance with "all risk" coverage on any
fixtures, leasehold improvements, furnishings, merchandise, equipment or
personal property in or on the Premises, whether in place as of the date hereof
or installed hereafter, for the full replacement value thereof, and Lessee shall
also have sole responsibility and cost for maintaining any other types of
insurance relating to Lessor's use of the Premises. Any deductibles shall be
paid by Lessee.
6.3 Lessor's Liability Insurance. During the Term, Lessor shall maintain a
policy or policies of comprehensive general liability insurance insuring Lessor
(and such others as designated by Lessor) against liability for bodily injury,
death and property damage on or about the Premises, with combined single limit
coverage of not less than $2,000,000.
6.4 Lessee's Liability Insurance. During the Term, Lessee shall, at its
sole expense, maintain for the mutual benefit of Lessor and Lessee,
comprehensive general liability and property damage insurance against claims for
bodily injury, death or property damage occurring in or about the Premises or
arising out of the use or occupancy of the Premises, with combined single limit
coverage of not less than $2,000,000. The limits of such insurance shall not
limit the liability of Lessee. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor prior to the
Commencement Date, and at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of any
policy, certificates indicating that the liability insurance required by Lessee
above is in full force and effect, that Lessor has been named as an additional
insured; and that all such policies will not be cancelled unless 30 days' prior
written notice of the proposed cancellation has been given to Lessor. The
insurance shall be with insurers reasonably approved by Lessor and with policies
in form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Said policies shall provide that
Lessor, although an additional insured, may recover for any loss suffered by
Lessor by reason of Lessee's negligence, and shall include a broadform liability
endorsement.
6.5 Waiver Of Subrogation. Lessor hereby releases Lessee, and Lessee hereby
releases Lessor, and their respective officers, agents, employees and servants,
from any and all claims or demands of damages, loss, expense or injury to the
Premises, or to the furnishings and fixtures and equipment, or inventory or
other property of either Lessor or Lessee in, about or upon the Premises, which
is caused by or results from perils, events or happenings which are the subject
of insurance carried by the respective parties and in force at the time of any
such loss; provided, however, that such waiver shall be effective only to the
extent permitted by the insurance covering such loss and to the extent such
insurance is not prejudiced thereby. Each party shall cause each insurance
policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance company waives all right of
recovery by way of subrogation against
-7-
<PAGE>
either party in connection with any damage covered by any policy.
6.6 Indemnification. Except to the extent of intentional misconduct by
Lessor or Lessor's negligence, Lessee will indemnify Lessor and save it harmless
from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability and expense in
connection with loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property arising
from or out of any occurrence in, upon or at the Premises, or the occupancy or
use by Lessee of the Premises or any part thereof, or occasioned wholly or in
part by any acts or omissions of Lessee, its agents, contractors, employees,
servants, licensees or concessionaires or by anyone permitted to be on the
Premises by Lessee. In case Lessor shall be made a party to any such litigation
commenced by or against Lessee, then Lessee shall protect and hold Lessor
harmless from all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses, and shall pay all
costs, expenses and reasonable legal fees incurred by Lessor in connection with
such litigation.
6.7 Plate Glass Replacement. Lessee shall replace at its sole expense, any
and all plate glass and other glass in and about the Premises which is damaged
or broken by vandalism. If any plate glass or other glass in and about the
Premises is damaged or broken by causes other than vandalism then Lessee shall
pay Lessor an amount equal to Lessor's cost of replacement, provided that such
amount shall not exceed the deductible then in effect on Lessor's insurance
policy, if any, covering the damaged glass. Nothing herein shall be construed to
require Lessor to carry plate glass insurance.
6.8 Workers' Compensation Insurance. Lessee shall, at its sole expense,
maintain and keep in force during the Term a policy or policies of Workers'
Compensation Insurance and any other employee benefit insurance sufficient to
comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules,
regulations or requirements.
7.0 MAINTENANCE.
7.1 Premises. Throughout the Term, Lessee agrees to keep and maintain all
improvements and appurtenances upon the Premises, including all sewer
connections, plumbing, heating and cooling appliances, wiring and glass, in good
order and repair including the replacement of such improvements and
appurtenances when necessary. Lessee hereby expressly waives the provisions of
any law permitting repairs by a tenant at the expense of a landlord, including,
without limitation, all rights of Lessee under Sections 1941 and 1942 of the
California Civil Code. Lessee agrees to keep the Premises clean and in sanitary
condition as required by the health, sanitary and police ordinances and
regulations of any political subdivision having jurisdiction. Lessee further
agrees to keep the interior of the Premises, such as the windows, floors, walls
doors, showcases and fixtures clean and neat in appearance and to remove all
trash and debris which may be found in or around the Premises. If Lessor deems
any repairs and/or maintenance to be made by Lessee necessary and Lessee refuses
or neglects to commence such repairs and/or maintenance and complete the same
with reasonable dispatch upon demand, Lessor may enter the
- 8 -
<PAGE>
Premises and cause such repairs and/or maintenance to be made and shall not be
responsible to Lessee for any loss or damage occasioned thereby except to the
extent that Lessee's personal property is damaged by the intentional misconduct
or negligence of Lessor or its contractors. Lessee agrees that upon demand, it
shall pay to Lessor the cost of any such repairs, together with accrued interest
from the date of payment at the highest rate allowable by law.
7.2 Building. Lessor shall maintain the foundation, roof and exterior walls
(the "Structural Components") of the Premises in reasonably good order and
repair, except that damage occasioned by the act of Lessee shall be repaired by
Lessor at Lessee's expense. Lessee shall have the obligation to notify Lessor,
in writing, of any repairs or maintenance to the Structural Components which may
be required, and Lessor shall have a reasonable time to make such repairs. The
manner and method of maintenance and repair of the Structural Components shall
be at the reasonable discretion of Lessor.
7.3 Maintenance - Landscaping, Parking Lot. Lessor shall maintain the
landscaping and parking lot in reasonable good order and condition, except that
damage occasioned by the act of Lessee shall be repaired by Lessor at Lessee's
expense. Lessee shall have the obligation to notify Lessor, in writing of any
repairs or maintenance to the landscaping and parking lot which may be required,
and Lessor shall have a reasonable time to make such repairs. The manner and
method of maintenance and repair shall be at the reasonable discretion of
Lessor. Lessee, in addition to the rent and other charges provided herein agrees
to pay to Lessor the costs of maintaining the landscaping and parking lot in
accordance with Paragraph 4.5
7.4 Alterations, Changes And Additions By Lessee. No changes, alterations,
or additions shall be made by Lessee to the Premises without the prior written
consent of Lessor which Lessor will not unreasonably withhold. Notwithstanding
the above, non-structural changes aggregating no more than $10,000 in any 12
month period may be made by Lessee without Lessor's consent. As used herein,
alterations include utility installations such as dusting, power panels,
fluorescent fixtures, base heaters, conduit and wiring. As a condition to giving
such consent, Lessor may require that Lessee agree to remove any such
alterations, additions or improvements at the expiration of the Term and to
restore the Premises to their prior condition. As a further condition to giving
such consent, Lessor may require Lessee to provide Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost
and expense, with a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and
one-half times the estimated cost of such improvements, to insure Lessor against
any liability for mechanics' and materialmen's liens and to insure completion of
the work. All changes, alterations or additions to be made to the Premises shall
be under the supervision of a competent architect or competent licensed
structural engineer and made in accordance with plans and specifications which
have been furnished to and approved by Lessor prior to commencement of
-9-
<PAGE>
work. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of such proposed
alterations. If the written consent of Lessor to any proposed alterations by
Lessee shall have been obtained, Lessee agrees to advise Lessor in writing of
the date upon which such alterations will commence in order to permit Lessor to
post a notice of nonresponsibility. All such alterations, changes and additions
shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all
ordinances and laws relating thereto. Any such changes, alterations or additions
to or on the Premises shall remain for the benefit of and become the property of
Lessor, unless Lessor requires the removal by giving Lessee written notice
within 30 days before the date Lessee is to vacate the Premises, in which case
Lessee shall remove such changes, alterations and additions and restore the
Premises to the condition they were in prior to such changes, alterations or
additions.
7.5 Plumbing. Lessee shall not use the plumbing facilities for any purpose
other than that for which they were constructed. The expense of any breakage,
stoppage or other damage relating to the plumbing and resulting from the
introduction by Lessee, its agents, employees or invitees of foreign substances
into the plumbing facilities shall be borne by Lessee.
7.6 Liens. Lessee shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising out
of work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Lessee and
shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Lessor from any liens and encumbrances
arising out of any work performed or materials furnished by or at the direction
of Lessee. In the event that Lessee shall not, within 20 days following the
imposition of any such lien, cause such lien to be released of record by payment
or posting of a proper bond, Lessor shall have, in addition to all other
remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause
the same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment
of the claim giving rise to such lien. All such sums paid by Lessor and all
expenses incurred by it in connection therewith including attorneys' fees and
costs shall be payable to Lessor by Lessee on demand with interest at the
highest rate allowable by law. Lessor shall have the right at all times to post
and keep posted on the Premises any notices permitted or required by law, or
which Lessor shall deem proper, for the protection of Lessor and the Premises,
and any other party having an interest therein, from mechanics' and
materialmen's liens, and Lessee shall give to Lessor at least 10 business days'
prior written notice of the expected date of commencement of any work relating
to alterations or additions to the Premises.
8.0 MANAGEMENT.
Lessee shall bear all costs to Lessor of managing the Premises and real
property. Lessee understands that Wareham Property Group, or another affiliated
or unaffiliated third party will be responsible for the management of the
Premises. For the period through April 30, 1998, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a
property management fee equal to two and one-half percent of the monthly rent.
Thereafter, the monthly property management fee payable by Lessee shall be equal
to the monthly property
- 10 -
<PAGE>
management fee owing by Lessee immediately prior to May 1, 1998, subject to
adjustment as follows. Commencing May 1, 1998 and each anniversary thereafter,
the monthly property management fee shall be adjusted upwards by increases in
the CPI between the Adjustment Date and the same date one year earlier. The
monthly property management fee shall be payable with monthly rent.
9.0 UTILITIES AND SERVICES.
Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency throughout the Term the cost of
water, gas, heating, cooling, sewer, telephone, electricity, garbage, air
conditioning and ventilating, janitorial services, landscaping and all other
materials and utilities supplied to the Premises and real property, provided
that if payment is to be made to Lessor, it shall be made by Lessee within 30
days of receipt of the statement for such charges.
10.0 USE OF PREMISES.
10.1 Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied by Lessee for only the
purposes specified in Paragraph 1.5 and for no other purposes whatsoever without
obtaining the prior written consent of Lessor which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
10.2 Suitability. This Lease shall be subject to all applicable zoning
ordinances and to any municipal, county and state laws and regulations governing
and regulating the use of the Premises. Lessee acknowledges that neither Lessor
nor Lessor's agent has made any representation or warranty as to the suitability
of the Premises for the conduct of Lessee's business.
10.3 Uses Prohibited.
a. Rate Of Insurance. Lessee shall not do or permit anything to be done in
or about the Premises which will cause the existing rate of insurance upon the
Premises (unless Lessee shall pay an increased premium as a result of such use
or acts) or cause the cancellation of any insurance policy covering said
Premises or any building of which the Premises may be a part, nor shall Lessee
sell or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about such Premises any articles
which may be prohibited by a standard form policy of fire insurance.
b. Interfere With Other Tenants. Lessee shall not allow the Premises to be
used for any unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Lessee cause, maintain
or permit any nuisance in, or about the Premises. Lessee shall not commit or
suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises.
c. Applicable Laws. Lessee shall not use the Premises or permit anything to
be done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with any law,
statute, zoning restriction, ordinance, governmental rule, regulation or
requirements of duly constituted public authorities whether now in force or
which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated.
-11-
<PAGE>
Lessee shall at its sole cost and expense properly comply with all laws,
statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or requirements now in
force or which may hereafter be in force and with the requirements of any board
of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted relating
to or effecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises. The judgment of
any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Lessee in any action
against Lessee, whether Lessor be a party thereto or not, that Lessee has
violated any law, statute, ordinance or government rule, regulation or
requirement, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Lessor and Lessee.
d. Signs. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises or conduct any
auction thereon without Lessor's prior written consent.
10.4 Lessee's Warranty. Lessee warrants that its use of the Premises
presently complies and shall comply with applicable federal, state and local
laws and regulations pertaining to (i) the use, storage and disposal of
radiological materials and/or toxic chemicals, (ii) the disposal of hazardous
waste and (iii) the safety of persons on the Premises, including but not limited
to, the general industry safety orders as set forth in Title 8 of the California
Administrative Code. Lessee further warrants that it will not interfere with any
actions by Lessor made in furtherance of the above laws and regulations and it
shall comply with any reasonable procedures and/or regulations promulgated by
Lessor from time to time in connection with the matters covered by such laws and
regulations, provided that Lessor shall have no duty to establish any procedures
or regulations or to supervise in any way Lessee's activities on the Premises.
Lessee warrants that all governmental inspections of the Premises as required
under the laws referenced above have been made and will be made, and Lessee
shall deliver within 15 days of the date hereof to Lessor a copy of the reports
of each such inspection most recently conducted. Lessee shall provide a copy of
the reports for each such future inspection within 15 days of Lessee's receipt
of such report. Except in instances when a governmental report of such
inspection has been made within the last 12 month period, Lessee shall obtain at
its sole cost an inspection by a private engineering firm, resulting in a
written report specifying Lessee's compliance, or enumerating the reasons for
Lessee's lack of compliance, with such regulations. Lessee indemnifies and shall
hold Lessor harmless from a breach of the above warranty and from any claim
arising from Lessee's particular use of the Premises, including but not limited
to, (a) the disposal or use of hazardous waste, or (b) the disposal or escape of
odorous, carcinogenic and/or pathogenic exhaust from the Premises. Lessee shall
pay all of Lessor's costs and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from a breach
of Lessee's warranty set forth above, whether or not litigation is commenced,
including but not limited to, the costs of defending any claims made against
Lessor as a result of such breach. Lessor shall have the right to defend such
claims with attorneys of its own election and Lessee shall pay the cost thereof.
Nothing herein shall suggest that Lessee shall be responsible for the condition
of the Premises prior to its first obtaining possession of the Premises.

11.0 DEFAULT PROVISIONS.
11.1 Insolvency. If, during the Term, Lessee shall be declared insolvent or
bankrupt, or if any assignment of Lessee's property shall be made for the
benefit of creditors or otherwise, or if Lessee's leasehold interest herein
shall be levied upon under execution or seized by virtue of any writ of any
court of law, or a trustee in bankruptcy or a receiver be appointed for the
property of Lessee, any such occurrence shall be a material default of this
Lease, and entitle Lessor at its election to terminate the Lease.
11.2 Non-Payment, Breach Or Vacating. If (a) Lessee shall fail to make
payment of any rent or any charge owing hereunder, or (b) any other covenant,
condition, agreement or obligation of Lessee hereunder is not timely performed
and either the breach is not cured within 15 days after written notice from
Lessor or the cure of the breach is not commenced within 15 days after written
notice from Lessor and thereafter diligently prosecuted towards completion,
Lessee shall be in default and Lessor shall be entitled to take the actions set
forth in Paragraphs 11.4 and 11.5 below and Lessor may pursue any other remedy
available by law.
11.3 Default Under Other Leases. Any default under either the Building E
Lease or the Building C Lease shall be deemed a default under this Lease,
entitling Lessor to take the actions set forth in Paragraphs 11.4 and 11.5 below
and Lessor may pursue any other remedy available by law.
11.4 Lessor's Right To Relet. Upon recovery of possession of the Premises,
whether with or without legal proceedings, by reason of Lessee's breach of this
Lease, Lessor may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, remove any
signs and property of Lessee therefrom and relet the Premises or any part
thereof at such rent and upon such terms and conditions as Lessor in its
discretion shall determine, and the term of such reletting may be for a term
extending beyond the Term. Such reletting shall neither void nor terminate this
Lease. For the purpose of such reletting, Lessor is authorized to make repairs
or alterations in or to the Premises at the sole expense of Lessee as may be
necessary or desirable for the purpose of such reletting. The costs and expenses
of such reletting, including repairs and alterations and any reasonable real
estate commissions associated with such reletting shall be paid by Lessee. If a
sum shall not be realized from such reletting to equal the monthly rent payable
hereunder plus all other monthly charges to be paid by Lessee hereunder, less
any amount of rental loss for the same period which Lessee proves could be
reasonably avoided by Lessor, Lessee will pay such deficiency each month to
Lessor. In no event shall Lessor be entitled to any excess rent received by
Lessor. No re-entry, taking of possession or reletting of the Premises by Lessor
shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless written notice
of such intention is given to Lessee or unless terminated thereof is decreed by
a court of competent jurisdiction.
-13-
<PAGE>
11.5 Right To Terminate. Notwithstanding any such reletting without
termination, Lessor may at any time during the Term elect to terminate the Lease
by reason of a previous breach. In the event that Lessor shall at any time
terminate this Lease by reason of breach thereof by Lessee, then Lessor, in
addition to any other remedy it may have, may recover from Lessee any damages
incurred by reason of such breach including, without limitation, the cost of
recovering the Premises, and the amount by which the rent then unpaid for the
balance of the Term exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period
which the Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided by Lessor. Lessee hereby
waives all statutory rights inconsistent with this Paragraph.
11.6 Default By Lessor. Lessor will be in default if Lessor fails to
perform any obligation required of Lessor within 30 days after written notice by
Lessee, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation;
provided that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than 30
days are required for performance, then Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor
commences performance within such 30 day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes the same to completion; and provided further that if the performance
of any obligation required by Lessor is necessary to correct a condition that
poses a threat to life or property, then Lessor shall perform such obligation as
soon as reasonably possible after receiving written notice from Lessee,
specifying that the condition is threatening.
12.0 EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION.
12.1 Surrender Of Possession. Lessee agrees to deliver up and surrender to
Lessor possession of the Premises and all improvements thereon, subject to the
terms of Paragraph 7.4 above, in as good order and condition as when possession
was taken by Lessee, excepting only ordinary wear and tear. Upon termination of
this Lease, Lessor may reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property
therefrom. If Lessee shall fail to remove any effects which it is entitled to
remove from the Premises upon the termination of this Lease, for any cause
whatsoever, Lessor, at its option, may remove the same and store or dispose of
them, and Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor on demand any and all expenses incurred
in such removal and in making the Premises free from all dirt, litter, debris
and obstruction, including all storage and insurance charges. If the Premises
are not surrendered at the end of the Term, Lessee shall indemnify Lessor
against loss or liability resulting from delay by Lessee in so surrendering the
Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding
Lessee founded on such delay.
12.2 Holding Over. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession
of the Premises after expiration of the term and if Lessor and Lessee have not
executed an express written agreement as to such holding over, then such
occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month at a monthly rental equivalent
to 110% of the monthly rental in effect immediately prior to such expiration,
such payments to be made as herein provided. In the event of such holding over
all of the terms of this Lease including the payment of all charges owing
-14-
<PAGE>
hereunder other than rent shall remain in force and effect on said month to
month basis.
12.3 Voluntary Surrender. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by
Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, but shall, at
the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies,
or operate as an assignment to Lessor of any or all such subleases or
subtenancies.
13.0 CONDEMNATION OF PREMISES.
13.1 Total Condemnation. If the entire Premises, whether by exercise of
governmental power or the sale or transfer by Lessor to any condemnor under
threat of condemnation or while proceedings for condemnation are pending, at any
time during the Term, shall be taken by condemnation such that there does not
remain a portion suitable for occupation, this Lease shall then terminate as of
the date transfer of possession is required. Upon such condemnation, all rent
shall be paid up to the date transfer of possession is required, and Lessee
shall have no claim against Lessor for the value of the unexpired term of this
Lease.
13.2 Partial Condemnation. If any portion of the Premises is taken by
condemnation during the Term, whether by exercise of governmental power or the
sale or transfer by Lessor to any condemnor under threat of condemnation or
while proceedings for condemnation are pending, this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect; except that in the event a partial taking leaves the Premises
unfit for normal and proper conduct of the business of Lessee, then Lessee shall
have the right to terminate this Lease effective upon the date transfer of
possession is required. Moreover, Lessor shall have the right to terminate this
Lease effective on the date transfer of possession is required if more than 33%
of the total square footage of the Premises is taken by condemnation. Lessee and
Lessor may elect to exercise their respective rights to terminate this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph by serving written notice to the other within 30 days
of their receipt of notice of condemnation. All rent shall be paid up to the
date of termination, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for the value
of any unexpired term of this Lease. If this Lease shall not be cancelled, the
rent after such partial taking shall be that percentage of the adjusted base
rent specified herein, equal to the percentage which the square footage of the
untaken part of the Premises, immediately after the taking, bears to the square
footage of the entire Premises immediately before the taking. If Lessee's
continued use of the Premises requires alterations and repairs by reason of a
partial taking, all such alterations and repairs shall be made by Lessee at
Lessee's expense.
13.3 Award To Lessee. In the event of any condemnation, whether total or
partial, Lessee shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning
authority such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by
Lessee for loss of business, fixtures or equipment belonging to Lessee
immediately prior to the condemnation. The balance of any condemnation award
shall belong to Lessor and Lessee shall
-15-
<PAGE>
have no further right to recover from Lessor or the condemning authority for any
additional claims arising out of such taking.
14.0 ENTRY BY LESSOR.
Lessee shall permit Lessor and its agents to enter the Premises at all
reasonable times for any of the following purposes: to inspect the Premises; to
maintain the building in which the Premises are located; to make such repairs to
the Premises as Lessor is obligated or may elect to make; to make repairs,
alterations or additions to any other portion of the building in which the
Premises are located; to show the Premises and post "To Lease" signs for the
purposes of reletting during the last 90 days of the Term; to show the Premises
as part of a prospective sale by Lessor or to post notices of nonresponsibility.
Notwithstanding the above, except in the case of emergencies, Lessor shall give
at least 24 hours prior written notice before entry to either the laboratories
or other non-office restricted areas. Lessor shall have such right of entry
without any rebate of rent to Lessee for any loss of occupancy or quiet
enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned.
15.0 INDEMNIFICATION.
Lessee agrees not to hold Lessor liable for any injury or damage, either
proximate or remote, occurring through or caused by any repairs or alterations
to the Premises, except to the extent such injury or damage arises from the
willful misconduct or negligence of Lessor. Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not
be liable for any injury or damage occasioned by defective electric wiring, or
the breaking, bursting, stoppage or leaking of any part of the plumbing, air
conditioning, heating, fire-control sprinkler systems or gas, sewer or steam
pipes, except to the extent such injury or damage arises from the willful
misconduct or negligence of Lessor. Lessee will save and hold harmless Lessor
from all loss, expense, damage or injury to persons or property arising from or
occurring by reason of its occupation or use of the Premises, except to the
extent such losses or injuries are proximately caused by any willful misconduct
or negligence of Lessor. Lessor shall not be liable for any damage to or loss of
property of Lessee or other persons located on the Premises, and Lessee shall
hold Lessor harmless from any claims arising out of damage to the same, except
to the extent such loss or damage is proximately caused by the willful
misconduct or negligence of Lessor.
16.0 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
Lessee shall not assign this Lease in whole or in part, or sublet the
Premises or any part thereof, or license the use of all or any portion of the
Premises or business conducted thereon, or encumber or hypothecate this Lease,
without first obtaining the written consent of Lessor, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld. Lessee shall submit in writing to Lessor: (a) the name
and legal composition of the proposed sublessee; (b) the nature of the proposed
sublessee's business to be carried on in the Premises; (c) the terms and
provisions of the proposed sublease; and (d) such financial and other reasonable
information as Lessor may
- 16 -
<PAGE>
request concerning the proposed sublessee (the "Sublease Notice"). Any
assignment, subletting, licensing, encumbering, or hypothecating of this Lease
without such prior written consent shall, at the option of Lessor, constitute
grounds for termination of this Lease. Lessor's consent to any assignment or
sublease shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any
subsequent assignment or sublease. This prohibition against assignment and
subletting shall be construed to include a prohibition against assignment or
subletting by operation of law. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting
with Lessor's consent, Lessee shall remain fully liable on this Lease and shall
not be released from its obligations hereunder. In the event Lessor shall
consent to a sublease or assignment under this Paragraph, Lessee shall pay
Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with giving such
consent. In addition, Lessee shall pay to Lessor with its regularly scheduled
rent payments, 75% of all sums collected by Lessee from a sublessee or assignee
which are in excess of the rent and charges then owing to Lessor pursuant to
this Lease.
17.0 DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
17.1 Right To Terminate On Destruction Of Premises. Lessor shall have the
right to terminate this Lease if, during the Term, the Premises are damaged to
an extent exceeding 33% of the then reconstruction cost of the Premises as a
whole, or the building as a whole, as the case may be. Lessor shall also have
the right to terminate this Lease if any portion of the Premises is damaged by
an uninsured peril. In either case, Lessor may elect to so terminate by written
notice to Lessee delivered within 30 days of the happening of such damage.
17.2 Repairs By Lessor. If Lessor shall not elect to terminate this Lease
pursuant to Paragraph 17.1, Lessor shall, immediately upon receipt of insurance
proceeds paid in connection with such casualty, but in no event later than 90
days after such damage has occurred, proceed to repair or rebuild the Premises,
on the same plan and design as existed immediately before such damage or
destruction occurred, subject to such delays as may be reasonably attributable
to governmental restrictions or failure to obtain materials or labor, or other
causes beyond the control of Lessor. Lessee shall be liable for the repair and
replacement of all fixtures, leasehold improvements, furnishings, merchandise,
equipment and personal property not covered by the property insurance described
in Paragraph 6.2.
17.3 Reduction Of Rent During Repairs. In the event Lessee is able to
continue to conduct its business during the making of repairs, the rent then
prevailing will be equitably reduced in the proportion that the unusable part of
the Premises bears to the whole thereof for the period that repairs are being
made. No rent shall be payable while the Premises are wholly unusable due to
casualty damage.
17.4 Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to
this Paragraph shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules of
the American Arbitration Association as then in effect, and judgment upon
-17-
<PAGE>
the award rendered by the arbitration may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction. The expenses of arbitration shall be borne by the parties as
allocated by the arbitrators. The party desiring arbitration shall serve notice
upon the other party, together with designation of the first party's arbitrator.
17.5 Lessor's Overriding Right To Terminate. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, if the discounted present value of the rent due hereunder
for the balance of the Term, using as the discount rate the prime commercial
lending rate in effect at the Bank of America as of the date Lessor is to
commence repairs pursuant to Paragraph 17.2 hereof, is less than the cost of
repairing the damage to the Premises, Lessor may at its option terminate this
Lease upon 10 days' written notice.
18.0 OPTION TO PURCHASE PREMISES.
Lessor hereby grants to Lessee the option to purchase the Premises in
accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph, as long as Lessee is not in
default under this Lease at the time Lessee exercises its option and at the time
the purchase is closed. Lessee shall have the right to exercise such option to
purchase effective as of May 1, 1998, provided that Lessee has not served notice
upon Lessor of its intent to terminate the Building E Lease pursuant to
Paragraph 3.3 of said Lease. If Lessee does not purchase the Premises as of May
1, 1998, then Lessee shall also have the right to purchase the Premises
effective as of the end of the Initial Term regardless of whether or not Lessee
elects to extend the Term of the Building E Lease pursuant to Paragraph 3.4 of
said Lease. Lessee shall exercise the purchase option by giving Lessor written
notice (the "Purchase Notice") to be received by Lessor at least nine months
prior to May 1, 1998 or the end of the Initial Term, as the case may be. The
purchase price for the Premises shall be the greater of (a) the fair market
value of the Premises at the time of appraisal, plus $340,766, which sum
represents the rent forgiven under the Original Lease or (b) the outstanding
balance of all loans then secured by the Premises. The purchase price shall be
paid fully in cash as of the closing of the sale. Lessor shall give Lessee
written notice ("Lessor's Notice") of the fair market value of the Premises at
least 150 days before May 1, 1998 or the end of the Initial Term, as the case
may be. If Lessee believes that the fair market value as established by Lessor
is incorrect, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing within 30 days of Lessee's
receipt of the notice from Lessor that Lessee desires to submit the matter to
appraisal with the designation of an MAI qualified appraiser. If Lessor agrees
with the identity of such appraiser, it shall within 30 days notify the
appraiser and Lessee that such appraiser shall determine the fair market value
of the Premises. (If the two appraisers cannot select a third appraiser within
30 days after Lessor submits the name of its appraiser, either side may at any
time apply to the presiding Judge of any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of the third appraiser.) If not, Lessor shall submit the name of its
appraiser to Lessee within said 30 days. The two appraisers so selected shall
choose a third appraiser and the three together shall determine the fair
-18-
<PAGE>
market value of the Premises. If the three appraisers are unable to agree on the
fair market value, they shall each determine the fair market value and then toss
out the high and low appraisals, thereby accepting the middle appraisal as the
fair market value. The cost of the appraisal process shall be borne by Lessee
unless the fair market value as determined by the appraisal is more than 10%
below the fair market value set forth by Lessor in Lessor's Notice in which case
Lessor and Lessee shall share the costs of the appraisal process equally. The
appraisal process shall be completed as quickly as reasonably possible. In
appraising the Premises, the appraisers shall not take into consideration the
existence of this Lease. After the appraisal price has been set, the appraisers
shall immediately notify Lessor and Lessee of the appraisal price. If Lessee
objects to the appraisal price that has been set, Lessee shall have the right to
elect not to purchase the Premises, as long as Lessee pays all costs in
connection with the appraisal procedure. Lessee's election not to purchase the
Premises must be delivered to Lessor within 15 days after receipt of notice from
the appraisers of the appraisal price or Lessor's Notice, as the case may be. If
Lessee does not exercise its election within said period, Lessee shall purchase
the Premises from Lessor as provided in this Paragraph. Lessor shall deliver at
the closing an executed grant deed in recordable form conveying the Premises to
Lessee. Title to the Premises shall be conveyed free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and rights of way
of record, leases or other tenancy agreements and other matters of record,
except (a) current taxes, a lien not yet delinquent, (b) those portions of
current assessments not yet due and payable, (c) anything of record or not of
record that in any way affects title to the Premises resulting from the acts or
omissions of Lessee and (d) those matters which are then of record and do not
materially interfere with the use of the Premises. The sale shall be consummated
through an escrow with a title company acceptable to Lessor as escrowholder to
be opened within 20 days after the fair market value of the Premises has been
set, either through appraisal or Lessee's failure to object to the fair market
value established by Lessor's Notice. At the time escrow is opened, Lessee shall
deposit with the title company cash in an amount equal to 10% of the purchase
price, to be used as a nonrefundable deposit towards the purchase price. DUE TO
THE DIFFICULTY OF FIXING THE DAMAGES WHICH WOULD BE SUFFERED BY LESSOR UPON A
FAILURE TO PURCHASE THE PREMISES, IF LESSEE FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF
THE PREMISES OTHER THAN AS A RESULT OF A DEFAULT BY LESSOR, LESSEE ( ) AND
LESSOR ( ) AGREE BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS ABOVE THAT THE DEPOSIT CONSTITUTES
REASONABLE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND THAT LESSOR SHALL RETAIN SUCH DEPOSIT AS
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Escrow shall close within 45 days after May 1, 1998 or the
conclusion of the Initial Term, as the case may be. Until close of escrow,
Lessee shall continue to pay the rent and charges owing by Lessee under this
Lease and in effect immediately before the scheduled termination date of this
Lease. At the close of escrow, escrowholder shall issue a CLTA standard coverage
policy of title insurance in the amount of the purchase price insuring title to
the Premises vested in Lessee, subject only to the matters referenced above. The
security deposit previously paid by Lessee to Lessor under
- l9 -
<PAGE>
this Lease will be credited to Lessee in the escrow. The City of Berkeley
transfer tax shall be split equally by the Lessor and Lessee. Lessor shall pay
the County documentary transfer tax. All other closing costs including, but not
limited to, recording fees, escrow fees and title insurance premiums shall be
paid by Lessee.
19.0 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
19.1 Waiver. No waiver of any breach of any of the covenants or conditions
of this Lease shall be construed to be a waiver of any other breach or to be a
consent to any further or succeeding breach of the same or other covenant or
condition. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant or
condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular
rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at
the time of acceptance of such rent.

in part only upon the written consent of Lessor and Lessee.
19.9 Memorandum Of Lease. Lessor and Lessee mutually agree that they will
not file or record a copy of this Lease, but that in the event Lessor or Lessee
requests a recording, Lessor and Lessee shall execute and acknowledge a
memorandum of this Lease in a form approved by the parties setting forth in said
memorandum the description of the Premises, the date of the Lease, the

or any schedule, list or exhibit hereto, whether for declaratory or other
relief, the prevailing party in such suit shall be entitled to such party's
costs of suit and attorneys' fees, which shall be payable whether or not such
action is prosecuted to judgment.
19.13 Subordination Of Leasehold. Lessee agrees that this Lease is and
shall be, at all times, subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or
other encumbrances which Lessor may create against the Premises including all
renewals, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, however, that
regardless of any default under any such mortgage or encumbrance or any sale of
the Premises under such mortgage, so long as Lessee performs all covenants and
conditions of this Lease and continues to make all payments hereunder, this
Lease and Lessee's possession and rights hereunder shall not be disturbed by the
mortgagees or anyone claiming under or through such mortgages. Lessee agrees to
execute any and all instruments in writing which may be required by Lessor to
subordinate Lessee's rights to the lien of such mortgage.
19.14 Lessee's Certificate. Within 15 days following Lessor's request,
Lessee shall complete, execute and deliver to Lessor a Lessee's Certificate,

paid in advance, if any, (b) acknowledgement that there are not, to Lessee's
knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Lessor hereunder, or specifying
such defaults if any are claimed and (c) setting forth the date of commencement
and expiration of the Term. Failure of Lessee to deliver such Certificate within
said 15 days shall be deemed to be an acknowledgement that Lessor is not in
default under the Lease, and that the terms of the Lease have not been modified
or supplemented in any way. It is intended that such Certificate may be relied
upon by any prospective purchaser, lender or assignee of any lender of the
Premises.
19.15 Attornment. Lessee shall, in the event of any sale of the Premises or
if proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise
of the power of sale under, any mortgage, installment land contract or deed of
trust made by Lessor covering the Premises, attorn to the mortgagee or the
purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such mortgagee or
purchaser as Lessor under this Lease, provided that Lessee's possession and
rights hereunder shall not be disturbed by the mortgagee or purchaser.
19.16 Day. As used herein, the term "day" shall mean, unless otherwise
specifically stated, a calendar day.
19.17 Brokers. The only broker's fees in connection with this Lease shall
be payable by Lessor to Coldwell Banker. Each party hereby indemnifies and
agrees to hold the other harmless from any and all other broker fees.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Lease on the day and
year first written above. This amended and restated Lease automatically
supersedes the Original Lease as of the Commencement Date without further action
by the parties.

June 26, 1987
Mr. Ho Humphrey
Xoma Corporation
2910 Seventh Street
Berkeley, CA 94710
RE: BUILDING E OF AQUATIC PARK CENTER.
Dear Mr. Humphrey:
On or about the date of this letter, Xoma Corporation ("Xoma") and Seventh
Street Properties II ("Lessor") entered into a lease of Building E at Aquatic
Park Center (the "Lease").
With respect to Building E, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Right Of First Refusal. Xoma shall have the right of first refusal to
purchase Building E from Lessor if and when Lessor elects to sell its entire
interest in Building E. If Lessor proposes to sell the Building, it shall first
serve written notice on Xoma setting forth the terms on which Building E shall
be sold (the "Initial Notice"). Xoma shall have 15 calendar days after receipt
of the Initial Notice in which to inform Lessor in writing that it wishes to
purchase the Building on the terms set forth in the Initial Notice. Notices
shall be delivered in accordance with the terms of the Lease. Failure of Xoma to
serve such written notice within the 15 day period or to close the sale within
45 days after serving notice on Lessor of its intent to purchase (other than as
a result of Lessor's default) shall be deemed to be a waiver of its right of
first refusal, and Lessor shall be free thereafter to sell Building E to third
parties. Notwithstanding the above, if Lessor proposes to offer more favorable
terms to third parties than set forth in the Initial Notice, then Lessor shall
serve another written notice on Xoma and again go through the procedure set
forth above, provided that Lessor shall not need to serve another written notice
or go through the procedure if Xoma had previously elected to purchase Building
E but failed to close the transaction within the time stated above.

Mr. Ho Humphrey
June 26, 1987

2. Laboratory Animal Ordinance. If at any time during the term of the
Lease, the City of Berkeley passes an ordinance which prohibits the use of all
laboratory animals, then Xoma may elect to have the rent abated for up to 5,000
square feet of animal laboratory space in Building E and to receive a $15 per
square foot tenant improvement allowance (the "Allowance") for the purpose of
converting such laboratory space to other uses. Xoma may exercise such right
only by serving written notice on Lessor within 30 calendar days after the
ordinance goes into effect. The rent abatement shall commence at the date
specified in Xoma's notice to Lessor, which in no event shall be later than 90
days after the ordinance goes into effect. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary above, rent shall in no case be abated for more than 180 days. Xoma
shall be responsible for building out all tenant improvements. The Allowance
shall be paid to Xoma upon substantial completion of the improvements and their
approval by Lessor. Nothing herein shall release Xoma from the terms of the
Lease in connection with such tenant improvements including, but not limited to,
the responsibility of having Lessor approve any such tenant improvements in
advance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
3. Forgiveness Of Rent. It is agreed that the monthly rent owing pursuant
to Paragraph 4.1 of the Lease shall be forgiven and shall not be payable by Xoma
through the six month anniversary of the Commencement Date. Accordingly, the
first month's rent to be deposited at the execution of the Lease shall be
applied against the rent owing for the first month following the six month
anniversary of the Commencement Date.
Please confirm by signing below your agreement with this amendment to the
Lease and your acknowledgment that except for this specific amendment, all terms
and conditions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and
effect.
Sincerely,
SEVENTH STREET PROPERTIES II

TRIPLE NET LEASE
LEASE made and entered into this 22 day of July 1987, between SEVENTH
STREET PROPERTIES II ("Lessor") and XOMA CORPORATION ("Lessee").
R E C I T A L S:
A. Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Lessee is entering into
three other leases, specifically one with Lessor for approximately 6,720 square

(the "Building F Lease"), and another with Seventh Street Properties, an
affiliate of Lessor, for approximately 24,275 square feet at 890 Heinz Street,
Berkeley, California (the "Heinz Street Lease").
B. The Building C Lease, the Heinz Street Lease and this Lease are intended
to be read together so that a breach of one is deemed a breach of the other.
A G R E E M E N T:
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1.0 BASIC LEASE TERMS.

condition as to permit Lessor to file a Notice of Completion with respect to its
work; or
b. The date Lessee actually commences to do business at the Premises.

<PAGE>
2.0 PREMISES.
2.1 Description. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee all of Building E (the
"Premises") constituting approximately 35,000 square feet, which constitute a
portion of a larger piece of real property owned by Lessor and known as the
Aquatic Park Center (the "Property"). Exhibit A attached hereto further
describes the Premises and the Property.
2.2 Work Of Improvement. The respective obligations of Lessor and Lessee to
perform the work and supply material and labor to prepare the Premises for
occupancy are set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein.
Lessor and Lessee shall expend all funds and do all acts required of them
respectively in Exhibit B and shall have the work performed promptly and
diligently in a first-class, workmanlike manner. Lessee shall not commence
construction of the improvements to be undertaken by Lessee until Lessor has
approved in writing the final drawings for said improvements, which approval
shall neither be unreasonably withheld nor delayed.
2.3 Possession. Lessor shall deliver occupancy of the Premises to Lessee on
the Commencement Date as hereinafter defined.
3.0 TERM.
3.1 Commencement. The Lease shall commence on the date specified in
Paragraph 1.1 above (the "Commencement Date") and shall continue thereafter for
the term specified in Paragraph 1.2 above (the "Initial Term"), unless sooner
terminated pursuant to this Lease.
3.2 Delay In Commencement. If for any reason Lessor cannot deliver
possession of the Premises to Lessee on the Commencement Date, such failure
shall not affect the validity of this Lease nor shall it extend the Term or
render Lessor liable to Lessee for any loss or damage resulting therefrom;
except that if possession is not delivered to Lessee on the Commencement Date,
Tenant shall not be obligated to pay rent until possession of the Premises is
tendered to Lessee. Notwithstanding the above, if Lessor does not deliver
possession of the Premises to Lessee by June 30, 1988, then Lessee shall have
the option of terminating this Lease by serving written notice on Lessor on or
before July 15, 1988.
3.3 Option To Terminate. Lessee is hereby granted an option to terminate
the Lease effective April 30, 1998 by giving written notice to Lessor of
Lessee's intent to terminate (the "Termination Notice") on or before July 31,
1997.
3.4 Option To Extend Term. Lessee is hereby granted an option to extend the
term for a five year period following the expiration of the Initial Term (the
"Option Term") by giving written notice to the Lessor of Lessee's intent to
exercise such option (the "Option Notice") at least 270 days before the
expiration of the Initial Term. The Option Term shall be on the same terms and
conditions in effect immediately before the end of the Initial Term, except that
the rent shall
-2-
<PAGE>
be set at 95% of the fair market lease rate for comparable space in the Berkeley
area, provided that in no event shall the rental rate for the Option Term be
less than the rental rate as of the last day of the Initial Term.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, if Lessee is in default in the
payment of rent, in the making of other payments required to be made by Lessee
under this lease or otherwise under this Lease on the date the Option Notice is
delivered to Lessor or on the date the Option Term is to commence, the Option
Term shall not commence and this Lease shall expire at the end of the Initial
Term.
3.5 Term. All references to the "Term" in this Lease shall include the
Initial Term set forth in Paragraph 3.1 plus any extensions pursuant to
Paragraph 3.4.
3.6 Fair Market Lease Rate. Lessor shall give Lessee notice ("Lessor's
Notice") of the fair market lease rate after receiving Lessee's written notice
of intent to exercise the Option, provided that Lessor's Notice shall not be
delivered later than 120 days prior to the commencement of the Option Term. If
Lessee believes that the fair market lease rate as established by Lessor is
incorrect, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing within 20 days of Lessee's
receipt of the notice from Lessor that Lessee desires to submit the matter to
appraisal with a designation of an MAI qualified appraiser. If Lessor agrees
with the identity of such appraiser, it shall within 10 days notify the
appraiser and Lessee that such appraiser shall determine the fair market lease
rate (including fair market increases during the Option Term). If not, Lessor
shall submit the name of its appraiser to Lessee within said 10 days. The two
appraisers so selected shall choose a third appraiser and the three together
shall determine the fair market lease rate (including fair market increases
during the Option Term). If the two appraisers cannot select a third appraiser
within 20 days after Lessor submits the name of its appraiser, either party may
at any time apply to the presiding judge of any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of the third appraiser. If the three appraisers are unable
to agree on the fair market lease rate they shall each determine the fair market
lease rate assuming annual CPI increases during the Option Term and then average
their determinations by tossing out the high and low appraisal and accepting the
middle appraisal as the fair market lease rate. The costs of the appraisal
process shall be borne by Lessee unless the fair market lease rate as determined
by the appraisal is more than 10% below the lease rate set forth in Lessor's
Notice in which case Lessor and Lessee shall share the costs of the appraisal
process equally. The appraisal process shall be completed as quickly as
reasonably possible. If for any reason the Option Term commences prior to the
conclusion of the appraisal process, Lessee shall continue to pay the monthly
base rent then in effect to Lessor plus 10% of such amount, which 10% only shall
be held by Lessor in escrow pending completion of the appraisal process, at
which time all funds held in escrow shall be distributed to Lessee and/or Lessor
in accordance with the outcome of the appraisal process, and Lessee shall
subsequently be bound by the lease rate as determined by the appraisal process.
The rent during the Option Term shall continue to be adjusted as agreed upon
-3-
<PAGE>
between Lessor and Lessee or as determined by the appraisal process.
4.0 RENT
4.1 Monthly Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor as rent for the Premises in
advance on the first day of each calendar month of the Term without deduction,
offset, prior notice or demand, in lawful money of the United States, the sum
specified in Paragraph 1.3 above which is based on $1.10 per square foot and the
square footage set forth in Paragraph 2.1. The rent owing shall be adjusted as
necessary if the actual square footage is shown to be other than as set forth in
Paragraph 2.1. Notwithstanding the above, Lessee shall not be required to pay
rent until the Commencement Date under the Building C Lease. If the Commencement
Date is not the first day of a calendar month, the first monthly installment of
such rent shall be applied on a per diem basis against payment of the rent from
the Commencement Date until the first day of the first succeeding calendar
month. Any unused portion of said amount shall be applied against payment of the
rent for such first succeeding calendar month, and the balance of the rent for
that month shall be due on the first day thereof. Concurrent with Lessee's
execution of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the first monthly
installment of rent.
4.2 Rent Adjustment. For the period through April 30, 1998 the base rent
set forth in Paragraph 4.1 above shall be adjusted as follows. On October 1,
1990 and every three years thereafter (the "Adjustment Dates"), the base rent
shall be adjusted by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (all
items) for all urban consumers in the San Francisco-Oakland metropolitan area,
published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The monthly rent until the next Adjustment Date shall be the greater of (a) the
rent in effect immediately before the Adjustment Date or (b) the initial rent
set forth in Paragraph 4.1 above multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be said Index number for the calendar month three months prior to
the Adjustment Date and the denominator of which shall be said Index number for
the calendar month three months prior to the first full calendar month following
the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the above, in no case shall the increase
as of any Adjustment Date exceed 21% plus the Carry Forward. As used above, the
"Carry Forward" shall mean the percentage increases in CPI which are not used at
earlier Adjustment Dates to adjust the rent because of this limitation. For
example, if the CPI increase is 15% on October 1, 1990, then the Carry Forward
is six percent and the CPI increase on October 1, 1993 shall be the actual CPI
increase, not to exceed 27%. If the actual CPI increase on October 1, 1993 were
23%, then the Carry Forward to October 1, 1996 would be four percent. Should the
Bureau discontinue the publication of said Index numbers, or publish the same
less frequently, or alter the same in some other manner, then Lessor shall adopt
a substitute index or procedure which reasonably reflects consumer prices.
Commencing May 1, 1998, the adjustment mechanism set forth above shall be
discarded and rent shall be adjusted to 95% of
-4-
<PAGE>
the fair market lease rate as of May 1, 1998 for comparable space in the
Berkeley area, provided that in no event shall the new rental rate be less than
the rental rate in effect immediately before such adjustment. (Adjustments
subsequent to May 1, 1998 shall be determined in the course of establishing the
fair market lease rate.) On or before January 1, 1998, Lessor shall provide
Lessee with notice of the May 1, 1998 fair market lease rate. The fair market
lease rate shall then be determined in accordance with Paragraph 3.6, and the
notice referenced above shall be deemed "Lessor's Notice."
4.3 Mode Of Payment. Lessee shall pay all rent due Lessor at Lessor's
address set forth on the signature page hereof, or any such other place as
Lessor may designate from time to time in writing.
4.4 Triple Net Lease. This Lease is what is commonly called a "Net, Net,
Net Lease," it being understood that Lessor shall receive the rent set forth
herein free and clear of any and all other impositions, taxes, liens, charges or
expenses of any nature whatsoever in connection with the ownership and operation
of the Premises. All references herein to Lessee's pro rata share of any expense
shall mean the total expense of any such item multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the total floor area of the Premises and the
denominator of which shall be the total floor area available for lease by Lessor
of Buildings C, E and F on the Property. "Floor area" shall be measured from the
exterior surface of all exterior walls and from the center of all walls
separating the Premises from adjacent premises. Based upon the square footage
numbers set forth in Paragraph 2.1, Lessee's pro rata share has been calculated
and is set forth in Paragraph 1.4. Lessee's pro rata share shall be adjusted as
necessary if the actual square footage is shown to be other than as set forth in
Paragraph 2.1 or upon any subdivision of the Property. In the event of
non-payment of all or any portion of such charges, costs and expenses, Lessor
shall have the same rights and remedies as provided in this Lease for failure of
Lessee to pay rent. Lessee shall in no event be entitled to any abatement or
reduction of rent or other monetary sums payable hereunder, except as expressly
provided herein, notwithstanding any present or future law to the contrary.
4.5 Estimated Payments. Lessee shall be notified by Lessor of Estimated
Payments for taxes, insurance, maintenance of common areas and common area
utilities and services from time to time. The Estimated Payments shall be paid
by Lessee together with rent, on the first day of each month throughout the
Term. The Estimated Payments may be increased or decreased by Lessor upon 30
days' written notice to Lessee based upon statements received or charges
incurred by Lessor, information available to Lessor as to the probable cost of
expected charges and expenses, or the reasonable estimate of Lessor as to the
probable amount of expected charges or expenses. Lessor shall be entitled to
retain the monies received from such payments in its general fund pending
payment of all such costs and charges. No more frequently than once each
calendar quarter, the actual costs shall be determined by Lessor, and Lessee
shall remit to Lessor on demand its unpaid pro rata share of the actual expense.
In the event Lessee paid more than its pro
-5-
<PAGE>
rata share of the actual expenses for such period of time, Lessor shall apply
such overpayment towards the next Estimated Payments owing by Lessee. At the
termination of this Lease, an accounting for such charges and expenses shall be
made to the nearest practical accounting period, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor
any balance due, or the Lessor shall refund to Lessee any excess amount paid.
4.6 Security Deposit. Concurrent with Lessee's execution of this Lease,
Lessee shall deposit with Lessor as a security deposit the sum specified in
Paragraph 1.5 above (the "Deposit"). On May 1, 1998 and May 1, 2003 (unless the
Lease is terminated or the Option is not exercised, as the case may be) Lessee
shall increase the Deposit to that amount which is equal to the newly
established monthly rental. The Deposit shall be held by Lessor as a security
deposit for the faithful performance by Lessee of all terms, covenants, and
conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Lessee during the Term. If
Lessee defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, including but not
limited to the provisions relating to the payment of rent and any of the
monetary sums due hereunder, Lessor may (but shall not be required to) use,
apply or retain any part or all of the Deposit for the payment of any amount
which Lessor may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Lessee's
default or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor may suffer
by reason of Lessee's default. If any portion of the Deposit is so used or
applied, Lessee shall, within 10 days after written demand therefor, deposit
cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore the Deposit to its original
amount; Lessee's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease.
Lessor shall not be required to keep the Deposit separate from its general
funds, and Lessee shall not be entitled to interest on the Deposit. If Lessee
shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed
by it, the Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Lessee (or, at
Lessor's option, to the last assignee of Lessee's interests hereunder) at the
expiration of the Term and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. In the event
of termination of Lessor's interest in this Lease, Lessor shall transfer the
Deposit to Lessor's successor in interest, whereupon Lessee agrees to release
Lessor from all liability for the return of the Deposit or the accounting
therefor.
4.7 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to
Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on the Lessor by
the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if
any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be received
by Lessor or Lessor's designee within 10 days after such amount shall be due,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to five percent of such overdue
amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by
Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a
waiver of
-6-
<PAGE>
Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent a Lessor from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
5.0 TAXES.
5.1 Real Property Taxes. Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor in addition to the
rent and other charges herein its pro rata share of all Designated Real Property
Taxes in accordance with Paragraph 4.5. As used herein, "Real Property Taxes"
shall include any form of assessment, license, fee, rent, tax, levy, penalty or
tax imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax,
including any improvement district, as against any legal or equitable interest
of Lessor in the Property or as against Lessor's business of renting the
Property. As used herein, "Designated Real Property Taxes" shall mean all Real
Property Taxes except those Real Property Taxes which are shown on the tax bill
for the Property as applying to the improvements constituting Buildings A and B,
as shown on Exhibit B, and 86.82% of (a) the Real Property Taxes applying to the
land and (b) special assessments against the Property. Such percentage was
determined by comparing the square footage of all of the land within the
Property to the square footage of all such land not occupied by Buildings A and
B, plus 14,000 square feet of the Property attributed to Buildings A and B.
Lessee's share of Designated Real Property Taxes shall be equitably prorated to
cover only the period of time within the fiscal tax year during which this Lease
is in effect. With respect to any assessments which may be levied against or
upon the Premises, and which may be paid in annual installments, only the amount
of such annual installments (with appropriate proration for any partial year)
and interest due thereon shall be included within the computation of the annual
Designated Real Property Taxes. Lessor represents that, to the best of its
knowledge, there are no assessment or improvement districts being planned which
would affect the Property other than as in effect as of the date of this Lease.
If the Property becomes subdivided, the formulas above shall continue to apply
(unless Building E is split off into a separate parcel without any other
buildings) but Lessee's pro rata share and the percentage shown above shall be
adjusted to reflect the new square footage of the resulting parcels. If Building
E is split off from the Property into a separate parcel without any other
buildings, it shall be assessed by itself and Lessee shall be responsible for
all of the Real Property Taxes relating thereto.
5.2 Personal Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay before delinquency all taxes
levied or assessed on Lessee's fixtures, improvements, furnishings, merchandise,
equipment and personal property in and on the Premises, whether or not affixed
to the real property. If Lessee in good faith contests the validity of any such
personal property taxes, then Lessee shall at its sole expense defend itself and
Lessor against the same and shall pay and satisfy any adverse determination or
judgment that may be rendered thereon and shall furnish Lessor with a surety
bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to 150% of such contested taxes.
Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against liability for any such taxes and/or any
liens placed on the Premises or the Property in connection with such taxes.
-7-
<PAGE>
[If at any time after any tax or assessment has become due or payable Lessee or
its legal representative neglects to pay such tax or assessment, Lessor shall be
entitled, but not obligated, to pay the same at any time thereafter and such
amount so paid by Lessor shall be repaid by Lessee to Lessor with Lessee's next
rent installment together with interest at the highest rate allowable by law.
6.0 INSURANCE.
6.1 Property/Rental Insurance - Premises. During the Term, Lessor shall
keep the Property insured against loss or damage by fire and those risks
normally included in the term "all risk" including (a) flood coverage at the
election of Lessor, (b) earthquake coverage at the reasonable election of
Lessor, (c) coverage for loss of rents and (d) boiler and machinery coverage if
the Lessor deems necessary. Any deductibles shall be paid by Lessee if the
deductible arises from damage solely to the Premises. If the damage covers a
greater portion of the Property than the Premises, then Lessee shall pay that
portion of the deductible which the total floor area of the Premises bears to
the total floor area of the Property which is available for lease by Lessor and
which suffered damage. The amount of such insurance shall be not less than 100%
of the replacement value of the Premises. Any recovery received from said
insurance policy shall be paid to Lessor. Lessee, in addition to the rent and
other charges provided herein, agrees to pay to Lessor its pro rata share of the
premiums for all insurance for the Property, excluding that insurance applicable
to Buildings A and B as shown by the insurance company (or its broker) issuing
such insurance. The insurance premiums shall be paid in accordance with
Paragraph 4.5. Lessee shall pay to Lessor any deductibles owing within 15 days
after receipt of notice from Lessor of the amount owing.
6.2 Property Insurance - Fixtures And Inventory. During the Term, Lessee
shall, at its sole expense, maintain insurance with "all risk" coverage on any
fixtures, leasehold improvements, furnishings, merchandise, equipment or
personal property in or on the Premises, whether in place as of the date hereof
or installed hereafter, for the full replacement value thereof, and Lessee shall
also have sole responsibility and cost for maintaining any other types of
insurance relating to Lessee's use of the Premises. Any deductibles shall be
paid by Lessee.
6.3 Lessor's Liability Insurance. During the Term, Lessor shall maintain a
policy or policies of comprehensive general liability insurance insuring Lessor
(and such others as designated by Lessor) against liability for bodily injury,
death and property damage on or about the Property, with combined single limit
coverage of not less than $2,000,000.
6.4 Lessee's Liability Insurance. During the Term, Lessee shall, at its
sole expense, maintain for the mutual benefit of Lessor and Lessee,
comprehensive general liability and property damage insurance against claims for
bodily injury, death or property damage occurring in or about the Premises or
arising out of the use or occupancy of the Premises, with combined single limit
coverage of not less than $2,000,000.
-8-
<PAGE>
The limits of such insurance shall not limit the liability of Lessee. Lessee
shall furnish to Lessor prior to the Commencement Date, and at least 30 days
prior to the expiration date of any policy, certificates indicating that the
liability insurance required by Lessee above is in full force and effect, that
Lessor has been named as an additional insured; and that all such policies will
not be cancelled unless 30 days' prior written notice of the proposed
cancellation has been given to Lessor. The insurance shall be with insurers
reasonably approved by Lessor and with policies in form reasonably satisfactory
to Lessor. Said policies shall provide that Lessor, although an additional
insured, may recover for any loss suffered by Lessor by reason of Lessee's
negligence, and shall include a broadform liability endorsement.
6.5 Waiver Of Subrogation. Lessor hereby releases Lessee, and Lessee hereby
releases Lessor, and their respective officers, agents, employees and servants,
from any and all claims or demands of damages, loss, expense or injury to the
Premises, or to the furnishings and fixtures and equipment, or inventory or
other property of either Lessor or Lessee in, about or upon the Premises, which
is caused by or results from perils, events or happenings which are the subject
of insurance carried by the respective parties and in force at the time of any
such loss; provided, however, that such waiver shall be effective only to the
extent permitted by the insurance covering such loss and to the extent such
insurance is not prejudiced thereby. Each party shall cause each insurance
policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance company waives all right of
recovery by way of subrogation against either party in connection with any
damage covered by any policy.
6.6 Indemnification. Except to the extent of intentional misconduct by
Lessor or Lessor's negligence, Lessee will indemnify Lessor and save it harmless
from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability and expense in
connection with loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property arising
from or out of any occurrence in, upon or at the Premises, or the occupancy or
use by Lessee of the Premises or any part thereof, or occasioned wholly or in
part by any acts or omissions of Lessee, its agents, contractors, employees,
servants, licensees or concessionaires or by anyone permitted to be on the
Premises by Lessee. In case Lessor shall be made a party to any such litigation
commenced by or against Lessee, then Lessee shall protect and hold Lessor
harmless from all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses, and shall pay all
costs, expenses and reasonable legal fees incurred by Lessor in connection with
such litigation.
6.7 Plate Glass Replacement. Lessee shall replace at its sole expense, any
and all plate glass and other glass in and about the Premises which is damaged
or broken by vandalism. If any plate glass or other glass in and about the
Premises is damaged or broken by causes other than vandalism, then Lessee shall
pay Lessor an amount equal to Lessor's cost of replacement, provided that such
amount shall not exceed the deductible then in effect on Lessor's insurance
policy, if any, covering the damaged glass. Nothing herein shall be construed to
require Lessor to carry plate glass insurance.
-9-
<PAGE>
6.8 Workers' Compensation Insurance. Lessee shall, at its sole expense,
maintain and keep in force during the Term a policy or policies of Workers'
Compensation Insurance and any other employee benefit insurance sufficient to
comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules,
regulations or requirements.
7.0 MAINTENANCE.
7.1 Premises. Throughout the Term, Lessee agrees to keep and maintain all
improvements and appurtenances upon the Premises, including all sewer
connections, plumbing, heating and cooling appliances, wiring and glass, in good
order and repair including the replacement of such improvements and
appurtenances when necessary. Lessee hereby expressly waives the provisions of
any law permitting repairs by a tenant at the expense of a landlord, including,
without limitation, all rights of Lessee under Sections 1941 and 1942 of the
California Civil Code. Lessee agrees to keep the Premises clean and in sanitary
condition as required by the health, sanitary and police ordinances and
regulations of any political subdivision having jurisdiction. Lessee further
agrees to keep the interior of the Premises, such as the windows, floors, walls,
doors, showcases and fixtures clean and neat in appearance and to remove all
trash and debris which may be found in or around the Premises. If Lessor deems
any repairs and/or maintenance to be made by Lessee necessary and Lessee refuses
or neglects to commence such repairs and/or maintenance and complete the same
with reasonable dispatch upon demand, Lessor may enter the Premises and cause
such repairs and/or maintenance to be made and shall not be responsible to
Lessee for any loss or damage occasioned thereby except to the extent that
Lessee's personal property is damaged by the intentional misconduct or
negligence of Lessor or its contractors. Lessee agrees that upon demand, it
shall pay to Lessor the cost of any such repairs, together with accrued interest
from the date of payment at the highest rate allowable by law.
7.2 Building. Lessor shall maintain the foundation, roof and exterior walls
(the "Structural Components") of the Premises in reasonably good order and
repair, except that damage occasioned by the act of Lessee shall be repaired by
Lessor at Lessee's expense. Lessee shall have the obligation to notify Lessor,
in writing, of any repairs or maintenance to the Structural Components which may
be required, and Lessor shall have a reasonable time to make such repairs. The
manner and method of maintenance and repair of the Structural Components shall
be at the reasonable discretion of Lessor. Lessee, in addition to the rent and
other charges provided herein, agrees to pay to Lessor all of the costs of
maintaining the Structural Components as billed to Lessee by Lessor.
7.3 Common Areas. Lessor shall maintain the common areas of the Property
which shall include without limitation the landscaping, plazas and parking lots
in reasonably good order and condition, except that damage occasioned by the act
of Lessee shall be repaired by Lessor at Lessee's expense. Lessee shall have the
obligation to notify Lessor, in writing, of any repairs or maintenance to the
common areas which may be
-10-
<PAGE>
required, and Lessor shall have a reasonable time to make such repairs. The
manner and method of maintenance and repair of the common areas shall be at the
reasonable discretion of Lessor. Lessee, in addition to the rent and other
charges provided herein, agrees to pay to Lessor its pro rata share of the costs
of maintaining the common areas in accordance with Paragraph 4.5.
7.4 Alterations, Changes And Additions By Lessee. No changes, alterations,
or additions shall be made by Lessee to the Premises without the prior written
consent of Lessor which Lessor will not unreasonably withhold. Notwithstanding
the above, non-structural changes aggregating no more than $10,000 in any 12
month period may be made by Lessee without Lessor's consent. As used herein,
alterations include utility installations such as ducting, power panels,
fluorescent fixtures, base heaters, conduit and wiring. As a condition to giving
such consent, Lessor may require that Lessee agree to remove any such
alterations, additions or improvements at the expiration of the Term and to
restore the Premises to their prior condition. As a further condition to giving
such consent, Lessor may require Lessee to provide Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost
and expense, with a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and
one-half times the estimated cost of such improvements, to insure Lessor against
any liability for mechanics' and materialmen's liens and to insure completion of
the work. All changes, alterations or additions to be made to the Premises shall
be under the supervision of a competent architect or competent licensed
structural engineer and made in accordance with plans and specifications which
have been furnished to and approved by Lessor prior to commencement of work.
Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of such proposed
alterations. If the written consent of Lessor to any proposed alterations by
Lessee shall have been obtained, Lessee agrees to advise Lessor in writing of
the date upon which such alterations will commence in order to permit Lessor to
post a notice of nonresponsibility. All such alterations, changes and additions
shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all
ordinances and laws relating thereto. Any such changes, alterations or additions
to or on the Premises shall remain for the benefit of and become the property of
Lessor, unless Lessor requires the removal by giving Lessee written notice
within 30 days before the date Lessee is to vacate the Premises, in which case
Lessee shall remove such changes, alterations and additions and restore the
Premises to the condition they were in prior to such changes, alterations or
additions.
7.5 Plumbing. Lessee shall not use the plumbing facilities for any purpose
other than that for which they were constructed. The expense of any breakage,
stoppage or other damage relating to the plumbing and resulting from the
introduction by Lessee, its agents, employees or invitees of foreign substances
into the plumbing facilities shall be borne by Lessee.
7.6 Liens. Lessee shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising out
of work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Lessee and
shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Lessor from any liens and encumbrances
-11-
<PAGE>
arising out of any work performed or materials furnished by or at the direction
of Lessee. In the event that Lessee shall not, within 20 days following the
imposition of any such lien, cause such lien to be released of record by payment
or posting of a proper bond, Lessor shall have, in addition to all other
remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause
the same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment
of the claim giving rise to such lien. All such sums paid by Lessor and all
expenses incurred by it in connection therewith including attorneys' fees and
costs shall be payable to Lessor by Lessee on demand with interest at the
highest rate allowable by law. Lessor shall have the right at all times to post
and keep posted on the Premises any notices permitted or required by law, or
which Lessor shall deem proper, for the protection of Lessor and the Premises,
and any other party having an interest therein, from mechanics' and
materialmen's liens, and Lessee shall give to Lessor at least 10 business days'
prior written notice of the expected date of commencement of any work relating
to alterations or additions to the Premises.
8.0 MANAGEMENT.
Lessee shall bear its share of the costs to Lessor of managing the
Property. Lessee understands that Wareham Property Group, or another affiliated
or unaffiliated third party will be responsible for the management of the
Property. For the period through April 30, 1998, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a
property management fee equal to five percent of the monthly rent. Thereafter,
the monthly property management fee payable by Lessee shall be equal to the
monthly property management fee owing by Lessee immediately prior to May 1,
1998, subject to adjustment as follows. Commencing May 1, 1998 and each
anniversary thereafter, the monthly property management fee shall be adjusted
upwards by increases in the CPI between the Adjustment Date and the same date
one year earlier. The monthly property management fee shall be payable with
monthly rent.
9.0 UTILITIES AND SERVICES.
9.1 Premises. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency throughout the Term the
cost of water, gas, heating, cooling, sewer, telephone, electricity, garbage,
air conditioning and ventilating, janitorial services and all other materials
and utilities supplied to the Premises, provided that if payment is to be made
to Lessor, it shall be made by Lessee within 30 days of receipt of the statement
for such charges.
9.2 Common Areas. Lessor shall provide first-class landscaping, utilities,
janitorial and security services for the common areas of the Property. Lessee
shall bear its pro rata share of such common area costs to Lessor in providing
such services in accordance with Paragraph 4.5. Security services shall include
hiring of guards in the discretion of Lessor during hours determined by Lessor.
Notwithstanding the above, any extraordinary landscaping, utilities, janitorial
and/or security services incurred on the Property as a result of special events
held by the tenants of Buildings A and B shall not be included in such common
area costs.

<PAGE>
10.0 USE OF PREMISES.
10.1 Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied by Lessee for only the
purposes specified in Paragraph 1.6 and for no other purposes whatsoever without
obtaining the prior written consent of Lessor which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
10.2 Suitability. This Lease shall be subject to all applicable zoning
ordinances and to any municipal, county and state laws and regulations governing
and regulating the use of the Premises. Lessee acknowledges that neither Lessor
nor Lessor's agent has made any representation or warranty as to the suitability
of the Premises for the conduct of Lessee's business.
10.3 Uses Prohibited.
a. Rate Of Insurance. Lessee shall not do or permit anything to be done in
or about the Premises which will cause the existing rate of insurance upon the
Premises (unless Lessee shall pay an increased premium as a result of such use
or acts) or cause the cancellation of any insurance policy covering said
Premises, nor shall Lessee sell or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about
such Premises any articles which may be prohibited by a standard form policy of
fire insurance.
b. Interfere With Other Tenants. Lessee shall not do or permit anything to
be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or unreasonably
interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Property or
injure or annoy them or use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful or
objectionable purpose, nor shall Lessee cause, maintain or permit any nuisance
in, or about the Premises. Lessee shall not commit or suffer to be committed any
waste in or upon the Premises.
c. Applicable Laws. Lessee shall not use the Premises or permit anything to
be done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with any law,
statute, zoning restriction, ordinance, governmental rule, regulation or
requirements of duly constituted public authorities whether now in force or
which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. Lessee shall at its sole cost and
expense properly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental
rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in
force and with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other
similar body now or hereafter constituted relating to or affecting the
condition, use or occupancy of the Premises. The judgment of any court of
competent jurisdiction or the admission of Lessee in any action against Lessee,
whether Lessor be a party thereto or not, that Lessee has violated any law,
statute, ordinance or government rule, regulation or requirement, shall be
conclusive of that fact as between Lessor and Lessee.
d. Signs. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises or conduct any
auction thereon without Lessor's prior written consent.
-13-
<PAGE>
10.4 Lessee's Warranty. Lessee warrants that its use of the Premises
presently complies and shall comply with applicable federal, state and local
laws and regulations pertaining to (i) the use, storage and disposal of
radiological materials and/or toxic chemicals, (ii) the disposal of hazardous
waste and (iii) the safety of persons on the Premises, including but not limited
to, the general industry safety orders as set forth in Title 8 of the California
Administrative Code. Lessee further warrants that it will not interfere with any
actions by Lessor made in furtherance of the above laws and regulations and it
shall comply with any reasonable procedures and/or regulations promulgated by
Lessor from time to time in connection with the matters covered by such laws and
regulations, provided that Lessor shall have no duty to establish any procedures
or regulations or to supervise in any way Lessee's activities on the Premises.
Lessee warrants that all governmental inspections of the Premises as required
under the laws referenced above have been made and will be made, and Lessee
shall deliver within 15 days of the date hereof to Lessor a copy of the reports
of each such inspection most recently conducted. Lessee shall provide a copy of
the reports for each such future inspection within 15 days of Lessee's receipt
of such report. Except in instances when a governmental report of such
inspection has been made within the last 12 month period, Lessee shall obtain at
its sole cost an inspection by a private engineering firm, resulting in a
written report specifying Lessee's compliance, or enumerating the reasons for
Lessee's lack of compliance, with such regulations. Lessee indemnifies and shall
hold Lessor harmless from a breach of the above warranty and from any claim
arising from Lessee's particular use of the Premises, including but not limited
to, (a) the disposal or use of hazardous waste, or (b) the disposal or escape of
odorous, carcinogenic and/or pathogenic exhaust from the Premises. Lessee shall
pay all of Lessor's costs and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from a breach
of Lessee's warranty set forth above, whether or not litigation is commenced,
including but not limited to, the costs of defending any claims made against
Lessor as a result of such breach. Lessor shall have the right to defend such
claims with attorneys of its own election and Lessee shall pay the cost thereof.
Nothing herein shall suggest that Lessee shall be responsible for the condition
of the Property prior to its first obtaining possession of the Premises.
11.0 DEFAULT PROVISIONS.
11.1 Insolvency. If, during the Term, Lessee shall be declared insolvent or
bankrupt, or if any assignment of Lessee's property shall be made for the
benefit of creditors or otherwise, or if Lessee's leasehold interest herein
shall be levied upon under execution or seized by virtue of any writ of any
court of law, or a trustee in bankruptcy or a receiver be appointed for the
property of Lessee, any such occurrence shall be a material default of this
Lease, and entitle Lessor at its election to terminate the Lease.
11.2 Non-Payment, Breach Or Vacating. If (a) Lessee shall fail to make
payment of any rent or any charge owing
-14-
<PAGE>
hereunder, or (b) any other covenant, condition, agreement or obligation of
Lessee hereunder is not timely performed and either the breach is not cured
within 15 days after written notice from Lessor or the cure of the breach is not
commenced within 15 days after written notice from Lessor and thereafter
diligently prosecuted towards completion, Lessee shall be in default and Lessor
shall be entitled to take the actions set forth in Paragraphs 11.4 and 11.5
below and Lessor may pursue any other remedy available by law.
11.3 Default Under Other Leases. Any default under either the Building C
Lease or the Heinz Street Lease shall be deemed a default under this Lease,
entitling Lessor to take the actions set forth in Paragraphs 11.4 and 11.5 below
and Lessor may pursue any other remedy available by law.
11.4 Lessor's Right To Relet. Upon recovery of possession of the Premises,
whether with or without legal proceedings, by reason of Lessee's breach of this
Lease, Lessor may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, remove any
signs and property of Lessee therefrom and relet the Premises or any part
thereof at such rent and upon such terms and conditions as Lessor in its
discretion shall determine, and the term of such reletting may be for a term
extending beyond the Term. Such reletting shall neither void nor terminate this
Lease. For the purpose of such reletting, Lessor is authorized to make repairs
or alterations in or to the Premises at the sole expense of Lessee as may be
necessary or desirable for the purpose of such reletting. The costs and expenses
of such reletting, including repairs and alterations and any reasonable real
estate commissions associated with such reletting shall be paid by Lessee. If a
sum shall not be realized from such reletting to equal the monthly rent payable
hereunder plus all other monthly charges to be paid by Lessee hereunder, less
any amount of rental loss for the same period which Lessee proves could be
reasonably avoided by Lessor, Lessee will pay such deficiency each month to
Lessor. In no event shall Lessor be entitled to any excess rent received by
Lessor. No re-entry, taking of possession or reletting of the Premises by Lessor
shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless written notice
of such intention is given to Lessee or unless terminated thereof is decreed by
a court of competent jurisdiction.
11.5 Right To Terminate. Notwithstanding any such reletting without
termination, Lessor may at any time during the Term elect to terminate the Lease
by reason of a previous breach. In the event that Lessor shall at any time
terminate this Lease by reason of breach thereof by Lessee, then Lessor, in
addition to any other remedy it may have, may recover from Lessee any damages
incurred by reason of such breach including, without limitation, the cost of
recovering the Premises, and the amount by which the rent then unpaid for the
balance of the Term exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period
which the Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided by Lessor. Lessee hereby
waives all statutory rights inconsistent with this Paragraph.
11.6 Default By Lessor. Lessor will be in default if Lessor fails to
perform any obligation required of Lessor
-15-
<PAGE>
(other than a delay in delivery of possession as provided for in Paragraph 3.2
above) within 30 days after written notice by Lessee, specifying wherein Lessor
has failed to perform such obligation; provided that if the nature of Lessor's
obligation is such that more than 30 days are required for performance, then
Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor commences performance within such 30
day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion; and
provided further that if the performance of any obligation required by Lessor is
necessary to correct a condition that poses a threat to life or property, then
Lessor shall perform such obligation as soon as reasonably possible after
receiving written notice from Lessee, specifying that the condition is
threatening.
12.0 EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION.
12.1 Surrender Of Possession. Lessee agrees to deliver up and surrender to
Lessor possession of the Premises and all improvements thereon, subject to the
terms of Paragraph 7.4 above, in as good order and condition as when possession
was taken by Lessee, excepting only ordinary wear and tear. Upon termination of
this Lease, Lessor may reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property
therefrom. If Lessee shall fail to remove any effects which it is entitled to
remove from the Premises upon the termination of this Lease, for any cause
whatsoever, Lessor, at its option, may remove the same and store or dispose of
them, and Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor on demand any and all expenses incurred
in such removal and in making the Premises free from all dirt, litter, debris
and obstruction, including all storage and insurance charges. If the Premises
are not surrendered at the end of the Term, Lessee shall indemnify Lessor
against loss or liability resulting from delay by Lessee in so surrendering the
Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding
Lessee founded on such delay.
12.2 Holding Over. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession
of the Premises after expiration of the term and if Lessor and Lessee have not
executed an express written agreement as to such holding over, then such
occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month at a monthly rental equivalent
to 110% of the monthly rental in effect immediately prior to such expiration,
such payments to be made as herein provided. In the event of such holding over
all of the terms of this Lease including the payment of all charges owing
hereunder other than rent shall remain in force and effect on said month to
month basis.
12.3 Voluntary Surrender. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by
Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, but shall, at
the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies,
or operate as an assignment to Lessor of any or all such subleases or
subtenancies.
13.0 CONDEMNATION OF PREMISES.
13.1 Total Condemnation. If the entire Premises, whether by exercise of
governmental power or the sale or transfer by Lessor to any condemnor under
threat of
-16-
<PAGE>
condemnation or while proceedings for condemnation are pending, at any time
during the Term, shall be taken by condemnation such that there does not remain
a portion suitable for occupation, this Lease shall then terminate as of the
date transfer of possession is required. Upon such condemnation, all rent shall
be paid up to the date transfer of possession is required, and Lessee shall have
no claim against Lessor for the value of the unexpired term of this Lease.
13.2 Partial Condemnation. If any portion of the Premises is taken by
condemnation during the Term, whether by exercise of governmental power or the
sale or transfer by Lessor to any condemnor under threat of condemnation or
while proceedings for condemnation are pending, this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect; except that in the event a partial taking leaves the Premises
unfit for normal and proper conduct of the business of Lessee, then Lessee shall
have the right to terminate this Lease effective upon the date transfer of
possession is required. Moreover, Lessor shall have the right to terminate this
Lease effective on the date transfer of possession is required if more than 33%
of the total square footage of the Premises or the Property is taken by
condemnation. Lessee and Lessor may elect to exercise their respective rights to
terminate this Lease pursuant to this Paragraph by serving written notice to the
other within 30 days of their receipt of notice of condemnation. All rent shall
be paid up to the date of termination, and Lessee shall have no claim against
Lessor for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease. If this Lease shall
not be cancelled, the rent after such partial taking shall be that percentage of
the adjusted base rent specified herein, equal to the percentage which the
square footage of the untaken part of the Premises, immediately after the
taking, bears to the square footage of the entire Premises immediately before
the taking. Any sums owing hereunder which are calculated on the basis of
Lessee's pro rata share (as set forth in Paragraph 1.4) shall also be adjusted
to reflect the decreased square footage of the Premises due to the condemnation.
If Lessee's continued use of the Premises requires alterations and repairs by
reason of a partial taking, all such alterations and repairs shall be made by
Lessee at Lessee's expense.
13.3 Award To Lessee. In the event of any condemnation, whether total or
partial, Lessee shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning
authority such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by
Lessee for loss of business, fixtures or equipment belonging to Lessee
immediately prior to the condemnation. The balance of any condemnation award
shall belong to Lessor and Lessee shall have no further right to recover from
Lessor or the condemning authority for any additional claims arising out of such
taking.
14.0 ENTRY BY LESSOR.
Lessee shall permit Lessor and its agents to enter the Premises at all
reasonable times for any of the following purposes: to inspect the Premises; to
maintain the Structural Components of the Premises; to make such repairs to the
Premises as Lessor is obligated or may elect to make; to make repairs,
alterations or additions to any other portion of the
-17-
<PAGE>
Property; to show the Premises and post "To Lease" signs for the purposes of
reletting during the last 90 days of the Term; to show the Premises as part of a
prospective sale by Lessor or to post notices of nonresponsibility.
Notwithstanding the above, except in the case of emergencies, Lessor shall give
at least 24 hours prior written notice before entry to either the laboratories
or other non-office restricted areas. Lessor shall have such right of entry
without any rebate of rent to Lessee for any loss of occupancy or quiet
enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned.
15.0 INDEMNIFICATION.
Lessee agrees not to hold Lessor liable for any injury or damage, either
proximate or remote, occurring through or caused by any repairs or alterations
to the Premises, except to the extent such injury or damage arises from the
willful misconduct or negligence of Lessor. Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not
be liable for any injury or damage occasioned by defective electric wiring, or
the breaking, bursting, stoppage or leaking of any part of the plumbing, air
conditioning, heating, fire-control sprinkler systems or gas, sewer or steam
pipes, except to the extent such injury or damage arises from the willful
misconduct or negligence of Lessor. Lessee will save and hold harmless Lessor
from all loss, expense, damage or injury to persons or property arising from or
occurring by reason of its occupation or use of the Premises, except to the
extent such losses or injuries are proximately caused by any willful misconduct
or negligence of Lessor. Lessor shall not be liable for any damage to or loss of
property of Lessee or other persons located on the Premises, and Lessee shall
hold Lessor harmless from any claims arising out of damage to the same, except
to the extent such loss or damage is proximately caused by the willful
misconduct or negligence of Lessor.
16.0 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
Lessee shall not assign this Lease in whole or in part, or sublet the
Premises or any part thereof, or license the use of all or any portion of the
Premises or business conducted thereon, or encumber or hypothecate this Lease,
without first obtaining the written consent of Lessor, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld. Lessee shall submit in writing to Lessor: (a) the name
and legal composition of the proposed sublessee; (b) the nature of the proposed
sublessee's business to be carried on in the Premises; (c) the terms and
provisions of the proposed sublease; and (d) such financial and other reasonable
information as Lessor may request concerning the proposed sublessee. Any
assignment, subletting, licensing, encumbering, or hypothecating of this Lease
without such prior written consent shall, at the option of Lessor, constitute
grounds for termination of this Lease. Lessor's consent to any assignment or
sublease shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any
subsequent assignment or sublease. This prohibition against assignment and
subletting shall be construed to include a prohibition against assignment or
subletting by operation of law. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting
with Lessor's consent, Lessee shall remain fully liable on this Lease and shall
not be released from its obligations
-18-
<PAGE>
hereunder. In the event Lessor shall consent to a sublease or assignment under
this Paragraph, Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in
connection with giving such consent. In addition, Lessee shall pay to Lessor
with its regularly scheduled rent payments 75% of all sums collected by Lessee
from a sublessee or assignee which are in excess of the rent and charges then
owing to Lessor pursuant to this Lease.
17.0 DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
17.1 Right To Terminate On Destruction Of Premises. Lessor shall have the
right to terminate this Lease if, during the Term, the Premises are damaged to
an extent exceeding 33% of the then reconstruction cost of the Premises as a
whole. Lessor shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if any portion
of the Premises is damaged by an uninsured peril. In either case, Lessor may
elect to so terminate by written notice to Lessee delivered within 30 days of
the happening of such damage.
17.2 Repairs By Lessor. If Lessor shall not elect to terminate this Lease
pursuant to Paragraph 17.1, Lessor shall, immediately upon receipt of insurance
proceeds paid in connection with such casualty, but in no event later than 90
days after such damage has occurred, proceed to repair or rebuild the Premises,
on the same plan and design as existed immediately before such damage or
destruction occurred, subject to such delays as may be reasonably attributable
to governmental restrictions or failure to obtain materials or labor, or other
causes beyond the control of Lessor. Lessee shall be liable for the repair and
replacement of all fixtures, leasehold improvements, furnishings, merchandise,
equipment and personal property not covered by the property insurance described
in Paragraph 6.2.
17.3 Reduction Of Rent During Repairs. In the event Lessee is able to
continue to conduct its business during the making of repairs, the rent then
prevailing will be equitably reduced in the proportion that the unusable part of
the Premises bears to the whole thereof for the period that repairs are being
made. No rent shall be payable while the Premises are wholly unusable due to
casualty damage.
17.4 Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to
this Paragraph shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules of
the American Arbitration Association as then in effect, and judgment upon the
award rendered by the arbitration may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction. The expenses of arbitration shall be borne by the parties as
allocated by the arbitrators. The party desiring arbitration shall serve notice
upon the other party, together with designation of the first party's arbitrator.
17.5 Lessor's Overriding Right To Terminate. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, if the discounted present value of the rent due hereunder
for the balance of the Term, using as the discount rate the prime commercial
lending rate in effect at the Bank of America as of the date Lessor is to
commence repairs pursuant to Paragraph
-19-
<PAGE>
17.2 hereof, is less than the cost of repairing the damage to the Premises,
Lessor may at its option terminate this Lease upon 10 days' written notice.
18.0 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
18.1 Waiver. No waiver of any breach of any of the covenants or conditions
of this Lease shall be construed to be a waiver of any other breach or to be a
consent to any further or succeeding breach of the same or other covenant or
condition. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant or
condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular
rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at
the time of acceptance of such rent.
18.2 Successors And Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties.
18.3 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and either
personally delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, properly addressed to the other party at the address set forth
next to its signature below, or at such other address or addresses as may from
time to time be designated in like manner by one party to the other. Any such
notice shall be deemed given when personally delivered or on the date indicated
on the Post Office's certified mail receipt.
18.4 Partial Invalidity. If for any reason any provision of this Lease
shall be determined to be invalid or inoperative, the validity and effect of the
other provisions hereof shall not be affected thereby.
18.5 Number And Gender. All terms in this Lease shall be construed to mean
either the singular or the plural, masculine, feminine or neuter, as the
situation may demand.
18.6 Descriptive Headings. The headings used herein and in any of the
documents attached hereto as schedules, lists or exhibits are descriptive only
and for the convenience of identifying provisions, and are not determinative of
the meaning or effect of any such provisions.
18.7 Time Is Of The Essence. In all matters time is of the essence in the
performance of all obligations under this Lease.
18.8 Entire Agreement. This Lease and the documents attached hereto as
schedules, lists or exhibits, constitute the entire agreement and understanding
between the parties with respect to the subject matters herein and therein, and
supersede and replace any prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or
written, between and among them with respect to the lease of the Premises,
rental therefor, use thereof and all other such matters. The provisions of this
Lease may be
-20-
<PAGE>
waived, altered, amended or repealed in whole or in part only upon the written
consent of Lessor and Lessee.
18.9 Memorandum Of Lease. Lessor and Lessee mutually agree that they will
not file or record a copy of this Lease, but that in the event Lessor or Lessee
requests a recording, Lessor and Lessee shall execute and acknowledge a
memorandum of this Lease in a form approved by the parties setting forth in said
memorandum the description of the Premises, the date of the Lease, the
Commencement Date and the date of termination. Said memorandum of Lease may be
recorded in the Recorder's Office of the County in which the Premises are
located.
18.10 Applicable Law. This Lease Agreement shall be construed and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
18.11 Corporate Authority. Each individual executing this Lease on behalf
of a corporation represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute
and deliver this Lease on behalf of the corporation in accordance with a duly
adopted resolution of the Board of Directors of the corporation, and that this
Lease is binding upon said corporation in accordance with its terms.
18.12 Litigation Expense. If any party shall bring an action against any
other party hereto by reason of the breach of any covenant, warranty,
representation or condition hereof, or otherwise arising out of this Agreement
or any schedule list or exhibit hereto, whether for declaratory or other relief,
the prevailing party in such suit shall be entitled to such party's costs of
suit and attorneys' fees, which shall be payable whether or not such action is
prosecuted to judgment.
18.13 Subordination Of Leasehold. Lessee agrees that this Lease is and
shall be, at all times, subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or
other encumbrances which Lessor may create against the Premises including all
renewals, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, however, that
regardless of any default under any such mortgage or encumbrance or any sale of
the Premises under such mortgage, so long as Lessee performs all covenants and
conditions of this Lease and continues to make all payments hereunder, this
Lease and Lessee's possession and rights hereunder shall not be disturbed by the
mortgagees or anyone claiming under or through such mortgages. Lessee agrees to
execute any and all instruments in writing which may be required by Lessor to
subordinate Lessee's rights to the lien of such mortgage.
18.14 Lessee's Certificate. Within 15 days following Lessor's request,
Lessee shall complete, execute and deliver to Lessor a Lessee's Certificate,
setting forth the information requested therein including, but not limited to
(a) certification that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or
if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this
Lease as so modified is in full force and effect) and the date to which the
rental and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (b) acknowledgement that
there are not, to Lessee's knowledge, any uncured defaults
-21-
<PAGE>
on the part of Lessor hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed
and (c) setting forth the date of commencement and expiration of the Term.
Failure of Lessee to deliver such Certificate within said 15 days shall be
deemed to be an acknowledgement that Lessor is not in default under the Lease,
and that the terms of the Lease have not been modified or supplemented in any
way. It is intended that such Certificate may be relied upon by any prospective
purchaser, lender or assignee of any lender of the Premises.
18.15 Attornment. Lessee shall, in the event of any sale of the Premises or
if proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise
of the power of sale under, any mortgage, installment land contract or deed of
trust made by Lessor covering the Premises, attorn to the mortgagee or the
purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such mortgagee or
purchaser as Lessor under this Lease, provided that Lessee's possession and
rights hereunder shall not be disturbed by the mortgagee or purchaser.
18.16 Day. As used herein, the term "day" shall mean, unless otherwise
specifically stated, a calendar day.
18.17 Brokers. The only broker's fees in connection with this Lease shall
be payable by Lessor to Coldwell Banker. Each party hereby indemnifies and
agrees to hold the other harmless from any and all other broker fees.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Lease on the day and
year first written above.

EXHIBIT B
WORK TO BE PERFORMED BEFORE OCCUPANCY OF PREMISES
Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee in shell condition. As used
herein, "shell condition" shall mean that the Premises shall include all of the
following: exterior walls with windows and doors, roof structure and roofing,
concrete slab on the first floor and wood floors on the second floor, elevator
with equipment room, two stairs and exit enclosures, exterior painting, fire
sprinklers (one layer below roof structure and second layer below wood floor),
roof drainage, standard building utilities brought to the Premises but not
distributed, male and female toilets on the first and second floors,
landscaping, recessed and covered loading dock with drainage and roll-up door,
parking lot, storm sewers, sidewalks, electrical secondary cable and conduit,
site lighting, roof hatch and ladder, rock below slab, finished lobby area on
the first floor and finished core areas on the second floor. The parties
recognize that Lessor shall incur additional costs in constructing the shell of
the Premises due to Lessee's desire to utilize some of the Premises for
laboratory purposes; specifically, there will be substantially increased
interstitial space required in the Premises than is typical in a two story
office building. The increased costs of the construction and the working
drawings as a result of the interstitial space shall be the responsibility of
Lessee. The increased costs of the interstitial space shall be designated as
such by the contractor and/or architect, as the case may be, and Lessor shall
forward to Lessee a copy of such designations. Any dispute as to the computation
of the increased costs shall be settled by arbitration in the same manner as
Paragraph 17.4 of this Lease. All such increased costs to Lessor (the "Increased
Costs") shall be deducted from the Allowance paid to Lessee, as set forth below.
Lessee shall construct all tenant improvements to be placed on the Premises
in accordance with the working drawings approved in writing by Lessor. Lessee
shall be entitled to an allowance of $21.00 per square foot of leaseable space
(the "Allowance") for the construction of the tenant improvements and the
preparation of the working drawings therefor. If the cost of the tenant
improvements exceeds the Allowance, such excess shall be borne by Lessee, at its
own expense. The Allowance, less the Increased Costs, shall be paid to Lessee in
cash within 15 days of occupancy of the Premises by Lessee and approval of the
tenant improvements by Lessor.

RE: BUILDING C OF AQUATIC PARK CENTER.
Dear Mr. Humphrey:
On or about the date of this letter, Xoma Corporation ("Xoma") and Seventh
Street Properties II ("Lessor") entered into a lease of Building C at Aquatic
Park Center (the "Lease").
With respect to Building C, the parties hereby agree as follows:
Xoma shall have the right of first refusal to purchase Building C from
Lessor if and when Lessor elects to sell its entire interest in Building C. If
Lessor proposes to sell the Building, it shall first serve written notice on
Xoma setting forth the terms on which Building C shall be sold (the "Initial
Notice"). Xoma shall have 15 calendar days after receipt of the Initial Notice
in which to inform Lessor in writing that it wishes to purchase the Building on
the terms set forth in the Initial Notice. Notices shall be delivered in
accordance with the terms of the Lease. Failure of Xoma to serve such written
notice within the 15 day period or to close the sale within 45 days after
serving notice on Lessor of its intent to purchase (other than as a result of
Lessor's default) shall be deemed to be a waiver of its right of first refusal,
and Lessor shall be free thereafter to sell Building C to third parties.
Notwithstanding the above, if Lessor proposes to offer more favorable terms to
third parties than set forth in the Initial Notice, then Lessor shall serve
another written notice on Xoma and again go through the procedure set forth
above, provided that Lessor shall not need to serve another written notice or go
through the procedure if Xoma had previously elected to purchase Building C but
failed to close the transaction within the time stated above.

TRIPLE NET LEASE
LEASE made and entered into this 22 day of July 1987, between SEVENTH

work; or

-1-
<PAGE>
2.0 PREMISES.
2.1 Description. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee a portion of Building C
(the "Premises") constituting approximately 6,720 square feet, which constitute
a portion of a larger piece of real property owned by Lessor and known as the
Aquatic Park Center (the "Property"). Exhibit A attached hereto further
describes the Premises and the Property.
2.2 Work Of Improvement. The respective obligations of Lessor and Lessee to
perform the work and supply material and labor to prepare the Premises for
occupancy are set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein.
Lessor and Lessee shall expend all funds and do all acts required of them
respectively in Exhibit B and shall have the work performed promptly and
diligently in a first-class, workmanlike manner. Lessee shall not commence
construction of the improvements to be undertaken by Lessee until Lessor has
approved in writing the final drawings for said improvements, which approval
shall neither be unreasonably withheld nor delayed.
2.3 Possession. Lessor shall deliver occupancy of the Premises to Lessee on
the Commencement Date as hereinafter defined.
3.0 TERM.
3.1 Commencement. The Lease shall commence on the date specified in
Paragraph 1.1 above (the "Commencement Date") and shall continue thereafter for
the term specified in Paragraph 1.2 above (the "Initial Term"), unless sooner
terminated pursuant to this Lease.
3.2 Delay In Commencement. If for any reason Lessor cannot deliver
possession of the Premises to Lessee on the Commencement Date, such failure
shall not affect the validity of this Lease nor shall it extend the Term or
render Lessor liable to Lessee for any loss or damage resulting therefrom;
except that if possession is not delivered to Lessee on the Commencement Date,
Tenant shall not be obligated to pay rent until possession of the Premises is
tendered to Lessee. Notwithstanding the above, if Lessor does not deliver
possession of the Premises to Lessee by June 30, 1988, then Lessee shall have
the option of terminating this Lease by serving written notice on Lessor on or
before July 15, 1988.
3.3 Option To Terminate. Lessee is hereby granted an option to terminate
the Lease effective April 30, 1998 by giving written notice to Lessor of
Lessee's intent to terminate (the "Termination Notice") on or before July 31,
1997.
3.4 Option To Extend Term. Lessee is hereby granted an option to extend the
term for a five year period following the expiration of the Initial Term (the
"Option Term") by giving written notice to the Lessor of Lessee's intent to
exercise such option (the "Option Notice") at least 270 days before the
expiration of the Initial Term. The Option Term shall be on the same terms and
conditions in effect immediately before the end of the Initial Term, except that
the rent shall
-2-
<PAGE>
be set at 95% of the fair market lease rate for comparable space in the Berkeley
area, provided that in no event shall the rental rate for the Option Term be
less than the rental rate as of the last day of the Initial Term.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, if Lessee is in default in the
payment of rent, in the making of other payments required to be made by Lessee
under this lease, or otherwise under this Lease on the date the Option Notice is
delivered to Lessor or on the date the Option Term is to commence, the Option
Term shall not commence and this Lease shall expire at the end of the Initial
Term.
3.5 Term. All references to the "Term" in this Lease shall include the
Initial Term set forth in Paragraph 3.1 plus any extensions pursuant to
Paragraph 3.4.
3.6 Fair Market Lease Rate. Lessor shall give Lessee notice ("Lessor's
Notice") of the fair market lease rate after receiving Lessee's written notice
of intent to exercise the Option, provided that Lessor's Notice shall not be
delivered later than 120 days prior to the commencement of the Option Term. If
Lessee believes that the fair market lease rate as established by Lessor is
incorrect, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing within 20 days of Lessee's
receipt of the notice from Lessor that Lessee desires to submit the matter to
appraisal with a designation of an MAI qualified appraiser. If Lessor agrees
with the identity of such appraiser, it shall within 10 days notify the
appraiser and Lessee that such appraiser shall determine the fair market lease
rate (including fair market increases during the Option Term). If not, Lessor
shall submit the name of its appraiser to Lessee within said 10 days. The two
appraisers so selected shall choose a third appraiser and the three together
shall determine the fair market lease rate (including fair market increases
during the Option Term). If the two appraisers cannot select a third appraiser
within 20 days after Lessor submits the name of its appraiser, either party may
at any time apply to the presiding judge of any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of the third appraiser. If the three appraisers are unable
to agree on the fair market lease rate they shall each determine the fair market
lease rate assuming annual CPI increases during the Option Term and then average
their determinations by tossing out the high and low appraisal and accepting the
middle appraisal as the fair market lease rate. The costs of the appraisal
process shall be borne by Lessee unless the fair market lease rate as determined
by the appraisal is more than 10% below the lease rate set forth in Lessor's
Notice in which case Lessor and Lessee shall share the costs of the appraisal
process equally. The appraisal process shall be completed as quickly as
reasonably possible. If for any reason the Option Term commences prior to the
conclusion of the appraisal process, Lessee shall continue to pay the monthly
base rent then in effect to Lessor plus 10% of such amount, which 10% only shall
be held by Lessor in escrow pending completion of the appraisal process, at
which time all funds held in escrow shall be distributed to Lessee and/or Lessor
in accordance with the outcome of the appraisal process, and Lessee shall
subsequently be bound by the lease rate as determined by the appraisal process.
The rent during the Option Term shall continue to be adjusted as agreed upon
-3-
<PAGE>
between Lessor and Lessee or as determined by the appraisal process.
4.0 RENT
4.1 Monthly Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor as rent for the Premises in
advance on the first day of each calendar month of the Term without deduction,
offset, prior notice or demand, in lawful money of the United States, the sum
specified in Paragraph 1.3 above which is based on $.95 per square foot and the
square footage set forth in Paragraph 2.1. The rent owing shall be adjusted as
necessary if the actual square footage is shown to be other than as set forth in
Paragraph 2.1. Notwithstanding the above, Lessee shall not be required to pay
rent until the Commencement Date under the Building E Lease. If the Commencement
Date is not the first day of a calendar month, the first monthly installment of
such rent shall be applied on a per diem basis against payment of the rent from
the Commencement Date until the first day of the first succeeding calendar
month. Any unused portion of said amount shall be applied against payment of the
rent for such first succeeding calendar month, and the balance of the rent for
that month shall be due on the first day thereof. Concurrent with Lessee's
execution of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the first monthly
installment of rent.
4.2 Rent Adjustment. The base rent shall be adjusted on the one year
anniversary of the Commencement Date to $1.05 per square foot. Thereafter, for
the period through April 30, 1998 the base rent of $1.05 per square foot shall
be adjusted as follows. On October 1, 1990 and every three years thereafter (the
"Adjustment Dates"), the base rent shall be adjusted by the percentage increase
in the Consumer Price Index (all items) for all urban consumers in the San
Francisco-Oakland metropolitan area, published by the United States Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The monthly rent until the next Adjustment
Date shall be the greater of (a) the rent in effect immediately before the
Adjustment Date or (b) the rent of $1.05 per square foot multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be said Index number for the calendar
month three months prior to the Adjustment Date and the denominator of which
shall be said Index number for the calendar month three months prior to the
first full calendar month following the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the
above, in no case shall the increase as of any Adjustment Date exceed 21% plus
the Carry Forward. As used above, the "Carry Forward" shall mean the percentage
increases in CPI which are not used at earlier Adjustment Dates to adjust the
rent because of this limitation. For example, if the CPI increase is 15% on
October 1, 1990, then the Carry Forward is six percent and the CPI increase on
October 1, 1993 shall be the actual CPI increase, not to exceed 27%. If the
actual CPI increase on October 1, 1993 were 23%, then the Carry Forward to
October 1, 1996 would be four percent. Should the Bureau discontinue the
publication of said Index numbers, or publish the same less frequently, or alter
the same in some other manner, then Lessor shall adopt a substitute index or
procedure which reasonably reflects consumer prices. Commencing May 1,
-4-
<PAGE>
1998, the adjustment mechanism set forth above shall be discarded and rent shall
be adjusted to 95% of the fair market lease rate as of May 1, 1998 for
comparable space in the Berkeley area, provided that in no event shall the new
rental rate be less than the rental rate in effect immediately before such
adjustment. (Adjustments subsequent to May 1, 1998 shall be determined in the
course of establishing the fair market lease rate.) On or before January 1,
1998, Lessor shall provide Lessee with notice of the May 1, 1998 fair market
lease rate. The fair market lease rate shall then be determined in accordance
with Paragraph 3.6, and the notice referenced above shall be deemed "Lessor's
Notice."
4.3 Mode Of Payment. Lessee shall pay all rent due Lessor at Lessor's
address set forth on the signature page hereof, or any such other place as
Lessor may designate from time to time in writing.
4.4 Triple Net Lease. This Lease is what is commonly called a "Net, Net,
Net Lease," it being understood that Lessor shall receive the rent set forth
herein free and clear of any and all other impositions, taxes, liens, charges or
expenses of any nature whatsoever in connection with the ownership and operation
of the Premises. All references herein to Lessee's pro rata share of any expense
shall mean the total expense of any such item multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the total floor area of the Premises and the
denominator of which shall be the total floor area available for lease by Lessor
of Buildings C, E and F on the Property. "Floor area" shall be measured from the
exterior surface of all exterior walls and from the center of all walls
separating the Premises from adjacent premises. Based upon the square footage
numbers set forth in Paragraph 2.1, Lessee's pro rata share has been calculated
and is set forth in Paragraph 1.4. Lessee's pro rata share shall be adjusted as
necessary if the actual square footage is shown to be other than as set forth in
Paragraph 2.1 or upon any subdivision of the Property. In the event of
non-payment of all or any portion of such charges, costs and expenses, Lessor
shall have the same rights and remedies as provided in this Lease for failure of
Lessee to pay rent. Lessee shall in no event be entitled to any abatement or
reduction of rent or other monetary sums payable hereunder, except as expressly
provided herein, notwithstanding any present or future law to the contrary.
4.5 Estimated Payments. Lessee shall be notified by Lessor of Estimated
Payments for taxes, insurance, maintenance of common areas and common area
utilities and services from time to time. The Estimated Payments shall be paid
by Lessee together with rent, on the first day of each month throughout the
Term. The Estimated Payments may be increased or decreased by Lessor upon 30
days' written notice to Lessee based upon statements received or charges
incurred by Lessor, information available to Lessor as to the probable cost of
expected charges and expenses, or the reasonable estimate of Lessor as to the
probable amount of expected charges or expenses. Lessor shall be entitled to
retain the monies received from such payments in its general fund pending
payment of all such costs and charges. No more frequently than once each
calendar quarter, the actual costs shall be determined by Lessor, and Lessee
shall remit to Lessor on demand its unpaid pro rata share of
-5-
<PAGE>
the actual expense. In the event Lessee paid more than its pro rata share of the
actual expenses for such period of time, Lessor shall apply such overpayment
towards the next Estimated Payments owing by Lessee. At the termination of this
Lease, an accounting for such charges and expenses shall be made to the nearest
practical accounting period, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor any balance due, or
the Lessor shall refund to Lessee any excess amount paid.
4.6 Security Deposit. Concurrent with Lessee's execution of this Lease,
Lessee shall deposit with Lessor as a security deposit the sum specified in
Paragraph 1.5 above (the "Deposit"). On May 1, 1998 and May 1, 2003 (unless the
Lease is terminated or the Option is not exercised, as the case may be) Lessee
shall increase the Deposit to that amount which is equal to the newly
established monthly rental. The Deposit shall be held by Lessor as a security
deposit for the faithful performance by Lessee of all terms, covenants, and
conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Lessee during the Term. If
Lessee defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, including but not
limited to the provisions relating to the payment of rent and any of the
monetary sums due hereunder, Lessor may (but shall not be required to) use,
apply or retain any part or all of the Deposit for the payment of any amount
which Lessor may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Lessee's
default or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor may suffer
by reason of Lessee's default. If any portion of the Deposit is so used or
applied, Lessee shall, within 10 days after written demand therefor, deposit
cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore the Deposit to its original
amount; Lessee's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease.
Lessor shall not be required to keep the Deposit separate from its general
funds, and Lessee shall not be entitled to interest on the Deposit. If Lessee
shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed
by it, the Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Lessee (or, at
Lessor's option, to the last assignee of Lessee's interests hereunder) at the
expiration of the Term and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. In the event
of termination of Lessor's interest in this Lease, Lessor shall transfer the
Deposit to Lessor's successor in interest, whereupon Lessee agrees to release
Lessor from all liability for the return of the Deposit or the accounting
therefor.
4.7 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to
Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on the Lessor by
the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if
any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be received
by Lessor or Lessor's designee within 10 days after such amount shall be due,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to five percent of such overdue
amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by
Lessee. Acceptance of such late
-6-
<PAGE>
charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with
respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent a Lessor from exercising any of the
other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
5.0 TAXES.
5.1 Real Property Taxes. Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor in addition to the
rent and other charges herein its pro rata share of all Designated Real Property
Taxes in accordance with Paragraph 4.5. As used herein, "Real Property Taxes"
shall include any form of assessment, license, fee, rent, tax, levy, penalty or
tax imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax,
including any improvement district, as against any legal or equitable interest
of Lessor in the Property or as against Lessor's business of renting the
Property. As used herein, "Designated Real Property Taxes" shall mean all Real
Property Taxes except those Real Property Taxes which are shown on the tax bill
for the Property as applying to the improvements constituting Buildings A and B,
as shown on Exhibit B, and 86.82% of (a) the Real Property Taxes applying to the
land and (b) special assessments against the Property. Such percentage was
determined by comparing the square footage of all of the land within the
Property to the square footage of all such land not occupied by Buildings A and
B, plus 14,000 square feet of the Property attributed to Buildings A and B.
Lessee's share of Designated Real Property Taxes shall be equitably prorated to
cover only the period of time within the fiscal tax year during which this Lease
is in effect. With respect to any assessments which may be levied against or
upon the Premises, and which may be paid in annual installments, only the amount
of such annual installments (with appropriate proration for any partial year)
and interest due thereon shall be included within the computation of the annual
Designated Real Property Taxes. Lessor represents that, to the best of its
knowledge, there are no assessment or improvement districts being planned which
would affect the Property other than as in effect as of the date of this Lease.
If the Property becomes subdivided, the formulas above shall continue to apply
(unless Building E is split off into a separate parcel without any other
buildings) but Lessee's pro rata share and the percentage shown above shall be
adjusted to reflect the new square footage of the resulting parcels. If Building
E is split off from the Property into a separate parcel without any other
buildings, it shall be assessed by itself and Lessee shall be responsible for
all of the Real Property Taxes relating thereto.
5.2 Personal Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay before delinquency all taxes
levied or assessed on Lessee's fixtures, improvements, furnishings, merchandise,
equipment and personal property in and on the Premises, whether or not affixed
to the real property. If Lessee in good faith contests the validity of any such
personal property taxes, then Lessee shall at its sole expense defend itself and
Lessor against the same and shall pay and satisfy any adverse determination or
judgment that may be rendered thereon and shall furnish Lessor with a surety
bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to 150% of such contested taxes.
Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against liability for any such taxes and/or any
liens placed on
-7-
<PAGE>
the Premises or the Property in connection with such taxes. If at any time after
any tax or assessment has become due or payable Lessee or its legal
representative neglects to pay such tax or assessment, Lessor shall be entitled,
but not obligated, to pay the same at any time thereafter and such amount so
paid by Lessor shall be repaid by Lessee to Lessor with Lessee's next rent
installment together with interest at the highest rate allowable by law.
6.0 INSURANCE.
6.1 Property/Rental Insurance - Premises. During the Term, Lessor shall
keep the Property insured against loss or damage by fire and those risks
normally included in the term "all risk" including (a) flood coverage at the
election of Lessor, (b) earthquake coverage at the reasonable election of
Lessor, (c) coverage for loss of rents and (d) boiler and machinery coverage if
the Lessor deems necessary. Any deductibles shall be paid by Lessee if the
deductible arises from damage solely to the Premises. If the damage covers a
greater portion of the Property than the Premises, then Lessee shall pay that
portion of the deductible which the total floor area of the Premises bears to
the total floor area of the Property which is available for lease by Lessor and
which suffered damage. The amount of such insurance shall be not less than 100%
of the replacement value of the Premises. Any recovery received from said
insurance policy shall be paid to Lessor. Lessee, in addition to the rent and
other charges provided herein, agrees to pay to Lessor its pro rata share of the
premiums for all insurance for the Property, excluding that insurance applicable
to Buildings A and B as shown by the insurance company (or its broker) issuing
such insurance. The insurance premiums shall be paid in accordance with
Paragraph 4.5. Lessee shall pay to Lessor any deductibles owing within 15 days
after receipt of notice from Lessor of the amount owing.
6.2 Property Insurance - Fixtures And Inventory. During the Term, Lessee
shall, at its sole expense, maintain insurance with "all risk" coverage on any
fixtures, leasehold improvements, furnishings, merchandise, equipment or
personal property in or on the Premises, whether in place as of the date hereof
or installed hereafter, for the full replacement value thereof, and Lessee shall
also have sole responsibility and cost for maintaining any other types of
insurance relating to Lessee's use of the Premises. Any deductibles shall be
paid by Lessee.
6.3 Lessor's Liability Insurance. During the Term, Lessor shall maintain a
policy or policies of comprehensive general liability insurance insuring Lessor
(and such others as designated by Lessor) against liability for bodily injury,
death and property damage on or about the Property, with combined single limit
coverage of not less than $2,000,000.
6.4 Lessee's Liability Insurance. During the Term, Lessee shall, at its
sole expense, maintain for the mutual benefit of Lessor and Lessee,
comprehensive general liability and property damage insurance against claims for
bodily injury, death or property damage occurring in or about the Premises or
arising out of the use or occupancy of the Premises, with
-8-
<PAGE>
combined single limit coverage of not less than $2,000,000. The limits of such
insurance shall not limit the liability of Lessee. Lessee shall furnish to
Lessor prior to the Commencement Date, and at least 30 days prior to the
expiration date of any policy, certificates indicating that the liability
insurance required by Lessee above is in full force and effect, that Lessor has
been named as an additional insured; and that all such policies will not be
cancelled unless 30 days' prior written notice of the proposed cancellation has
been given to Lessor. The insurance shall be with insurers reasonably approved
by Lessor and with policies in form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Said
policies shall provide that Lessor, although an additional insured, may recover
for any loss suffered by Lessor by reason of Lessee's negligence, and shall
include a broadform liability endorsement.
6.5 Waiver Of Subrogation. Lessor hereby releases Lessee, and Lessee hereby
releases Lessor, and their respective officers, agents, employees and servants,
from any and all claims or demands of damages, loss, expense or injury to the
Premises, or to the furnishings and fixtures and equipment, or inventory or
other property of either Lessor or Lessee in, about or upon the Premises, which
is caused by or results from perils, events or happenings which are the subject
of insurance carried by the respective parties and in force at the time of any
such loss; provided, however, that such waiver shall be effective only to the
extent permitted by the insurance covering such loss and to the extent such
insurance is not prejudiced thereby. Each party shall cause each insurance
policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance company waives all right of
recovery by way of subrogation against either party in connection with any
damage covered by any policy.
6.6 Indemnification. Except to the extent of intentional misconduct by
Lessor or Lessor's negligence, Lessee will indemnify Lessor and save it harmless
from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability and expense in
connection with loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property arising
from or out of any occurrence in, upon or at the Premises, or the occupancy or
use by Lessee of the Premises or any part thereof, or occasioned wholly or in
part by any acts or omissions of Lessee, its agents, contractors, employees,
servants, licensees or concessionaires or by anyone permitted to be on the
Premises by Lessee. In case Lessor shall be made a party to any such litigation
commenced by or against Lessee, then Lessee shall protect and hold Lessor
harmless from all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses, and shall pay all
costs, expenses and reasonable legal fees incurred by Lessor in connection with
such litigation.
6.7 Plate Glass Replacement. Lessee shall replace at its sole expense, any
and all plate glass and other glass in and about the Premises which is damaged
or broken by vandalism. If any plate glass or other glass in and about the
Premises is damaged or broken by causes other than vandalism, then Lessee shall
pay Lessor an amount equal to Lessor's cost of replacement, provided that such
amount shall not exceed the deductible then in effect on Lessor's insurance
policy, if any, covering the damaged glass. Nothing herein shall be construed to
require Lessor to carry plate glass insurance.
-9-
<PAGE>
6.8 Workers' Compensation Insurance. Lessee shall, at its sole expense,
maintain and keep in force during the Term a policy or policies of Workers'
Compensation Insurance and any other employee benefit insurance sufficient to
comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules,
regulations or requirements.
7.0 MAINTENANCE.
7.1 Premises. Throughout the Term, Lessee agrees to keep and maintain all
improvements and appurtenances upon the Premises, including all sewer
connections, plumbing, heating and cooling appliances, wiring and glass, in good
order and repair including the replacement of such improvements and
appurtenances when necessary. Lessee hereby expressly waives the provisions of
any law permitting repairs by a tenant at the expense of a landlord, including,
without limitation, all rights of Lessee under Sections 1941 and 1942 of the
California Civil Code. Lessee agrees to keep the Premises clean and in sanitary
condition as required by the health, sanitary and police ordinances and
regulations of any political subdivision having jurisdiction. Lessee further
agrees to keep the interior of the Premises, such as the windows, floors, walls,
doors, showcases and fixtures clean and neat in appearance and to remove all
trash and debris which may be found in or around the Premises. If Lessor deems
any repairs and/or maintenance to be made by Lessee necessary and Lessee refuses
or neglects to commence such repairs and/or maintenance and complete the same
with reasonable dispatch upon demand, Lessor may enter the Premises and cause
such repairs and/or maintenance to be made and shall not be responsible to
Lessee for any loss or damage occasioned thereby except to the extent that
Lessee's personal property is damaged by the intentional misconduct or
negligence of Lessor or its contractors. Lessee agrees that upon demand, it
shall pay to Lessor the cost of any such repairs, together with accrued interest
from the date of payment at the highest rate allowable by law.
7.2 Building. Lessor shall maintain the foundation, roof and exterior walls
(the "Structural Components") and the common areas, including but not limited to
hallways, elevators, and common bathrooms ("Building Common Areas"), of the
building in which the Premises are located in reasonably good order and repair,
except that damage occasioned by the act of Lessee shall be repaired by Lessor
at Lessee's expense. Lessee shall have the obligation to notify Lessor, in
writing, of any repairs or maintenance to the Structural Components or Building
Common Areas which may be required, and Lessor shall have a reasonable time to
make such repairs. The manner and method of maintenance and repair of the
Structural Components and Building Common Areas shall be at the reasonable
discretion of Lessor. Lessee, in addition to the rent and other charges provided
herein, agrees to pay to Lessor 67.2% (which for purposes of this Paragraph
shall be deemed to be Lessee's pro rata share) of the costs of maintaining
Building Common Areas (but not the Structural Components) as billed to Lessee by
Lessor. Such percentage was calculated by comparing the total square footage of
the Premises to the total square footage available for lease by Lessor of the
building in which the Premises are located.
-10-
<PAGE>
7.3 Common Areas. Lessor shall maintain the common areas of the Property
which shall include without limitation the landscaping, plazas and parking lots
in reasonably good order and condition, except that damage occasioned by the act
of Lessee shall be repaired by Lessor at Lessee's expense. Lessee shall have the
obligation to notify Lessor, in writing, of any repairs or maintenance to the
common areas which may be required, and Lessor shall have a reasonable time to
make such repairs. The manner and method of maintenance and repair of the common
areas shall be at the reasonable discretion of Lessor. Lessee, in addition to
the rent and other charges provided herein, agrees to pay to Lessor its pro rata
share of the costs of maintaining the common areas in accordance with Paragraph
4.5.
7.4 Alterations, Changes And Additions By Lessee. No changes, alterations,
or additions shall be made by Lessee to the Premises without the prior written
consent of Lessor which Lessor will not unreasonably withhold. Notwithstanding
the above, non-structural changes aggregating no more than $10,000 in any 12
month period may be made by Lessee without Lessor's consent. As used herein,
alterations include utility installations such as ducting, power panels,
fluorescent fixtures, base heaters, conduit and wiring. As a condition to giving
such consent, Lessor may require that Lessee agree to remove any such
alterations, additions or improvements at the expiration of the Term and to
restore the Premises to their prior condition. As a further condition to giving
such consent, Lessor may require Lessee to provide Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost
and expense, with a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and
one-half times the estimated cost of such improvements, to insure Lessor against
any liability for mechanics' and materialmen's liens and to insure completion of
the work. All changes, alterations or additions to be made to the Premises shall
be under the supervision of a competent architect or competent licensed
structural engineer and made in accordance with plans and specifications which
have been furnished to and approved by Lessor prior to commencement of work.
Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of such proposed
alterations. If the written consent of Lessor to any proposed alterations by
Lessee shall have been obtained, Lessee agrees to advise Lessor in writing of
the date upon which such alterations will commence in order to permit Lessor to
post a notice of nonresponsibility. All such alterations, changes and additions
shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all
ordinances and laws relating thereto. Any such changes, alterations or additions
to or on the Premises shall remain for the benefit of and become the property of
Lessor, unless Lessor requires the removal by giving Lessee written notice
within 30 days before the date Lessee is to vacate the Premises, in which case
Lessee shall remove such changes, alterations and additions and restore the
Premises to the condition they were in prior to such changes, alterations or
additions.
7.5 Plumbing. Lessee shall not use the plumbing facilities for any purpose
other than that for which they were constructed. The expense of any breakage,
stoppage or other damage relating to the plumbing and resulting from the
-11-
<PAGE>
introduction by Lessee, its agents, employees or invitees of foreign substances
into the plumbing facilities shall be borne by Lessee.
7.6 Liens. Lessee shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising out
of work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Lessee and
shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Lessor from any liens and encumbrances
arising out of any work performed or materials furnished by or at the direction
of Lessee. In the event that Lessee shall not, within 20 days following the
imposition of any such lien, cause such lien to be released of record by payment
or posting of a proper bond, Lessor shall have, in addition to all other
remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause
the same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment
of the claim giving rise to such lien. All such sums paid by Lessor and all
expenses incurred by it in connection therewith including attorneys' fees and
costs shall be payable to Lessor by Lessee on demand with interest at the
highest rate allowable by law. Lessor shall have the right at all times to post
and keep posted on the Premises any notices permitted or required by law, or
which Lessor shall deem proper, for the protection of Lessor and the Premises,
and any other party having an interest therein, from mechanics' and
materialmen's liens, and Lessee shall give to Lessor at least 10 business days'
prior written notice of the expected date of commencement of any work relating
to alterations or additions to the Premises.
8.0 MANAGEMENT.
Lessee shall bear its share of the costs to Lessor of managing the
Property. Lessee understands that Wareham Property Group, or another affiliated
or unaffiliated third party will be responsible for the management of the
Property. For the period through April 30, 1998, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a
property management fee equal to five percent of the monthly rent. Thereafter,
the monthly property management fee payable by Lessee shall be equal to the
monthly property management fee owing by Lessee immediately prior to May 1,
1998, subject to adjustment as follows. Commencing May 1, 1998 and each
anniversary thereafter, the monthly property management fee shall be adjusted
upwards by increases in the CPI between the Adjustment Date and the same date
one year earlier. The monthly property management fee shall be payable with
monthly rent.
9.0 UTILITIES AND SERVICES.
9.1 Premises. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency throughout the Term the
cost of water, gas, heating, cooling, sewer, telephone, electricity, garbage,
air conditioning and ventilating, janitorial services and all other materials
and utilities supplied to the Premises, provided that if payment is to be made
to Lessor, it shall be made by Lessee within 30 days of receipt of the statement
for such charges.
9.2 Common Areas. Lessor shall provide first-class landscaping, utilities,
janitorial and security services for the common areas of the Property. Lessee
shall bear its pro
-12-
<PAGE>
rata share of such common area costs to Lessor in providing such services in
accordance with Paragraph 4.5. Security services shall include hiring of guards
in the discretion of Lessor during hours determined by Lessor. Notwithstanding
the above, any extraordinary landscaping, utilities, janitorial and/or security
services incurred on the Property as a result of special events held by the
tenants of Buildings A and B shall not be included in such common area costs.
10.0 USE OF PREMISES.
10.1 Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied by Lessee for only the
purposes specified in Paragraph 1.6 and for no other purposes whatsoever without
obtaining the prior written consent of Lessor which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
10.2 Suitability. This Lease shall be subject to all applicable zoning
ordinances and to any municipal, county and state laws and regulations governing
and regulating the use of the Premises. Lessee acknowledges that neither Lessor
nor Lessor's agent has made any representation or warranty as to the suitability
of the Premises for the conduct of Lessee's business.
10.3 Uses Prohibited.
a. Rate Of Insurance. Lessee shall not do or permit anything to be done in
or about the Premises which will cause the existing rate of insurance upon the
Premises (unless Lessee shall pay an increased premium as a result of such use
or acts) or cause the cancellation of any insurance policy covering said
Premises, nor shall Lessee sell or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about
such Premises any articles which may be prohibited by a standard form policy of
fire insurance.
b. Interfere With Other Tenants. Lessee shall not do or permit anything to
be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or unreasonably
interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Property or
injure or annoy them or use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful or
objectionable purpose, nor shall Lessee cause, maintain or permit any nuisance
in, or about the Premises. Lessee shall not commit or suffer to be committed any
waste in or upon the Premises.
c. Applicable Laws. Lessee shall not use the Premises or permit anything to
be done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with any law,
statute, zoning restriction, ordinance, governmental rule, regulation or
requirements of duly constituted public authorities whether now in force or
which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. Lessee shall at its sole cost and
expense properly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental
rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in
force and with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other
similar body now or hereafter constituted relating to or affecting the
condition, use or occupancy of the Premises. The judgment of any court of
competent jurisdiction or the admission of Lessee in any action against Lessee,
-13-
<PAGE>
whether Lessor be a party thereto or not, that Lessee has violated any law,
statute, ordinance or government rule, regulation or requirement, shall be
conclusive of that fact as between Lessor and Lessee.
d. Signs. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises or conduct any
auction thereon without Lessor's prior written consent.
10.4 Lessee's Warranty. Lessee warrants that its use of the Premises
presently complies and shall comply with applicable federal, state and local
laws and regulations pertaining to (i) the use, storage and disposal of
radiological materials and/or toxic chemicals, (ii) the disposal of hazardous
waste and (iii) the safety of persons on the Premises, including but not limited
to, the general industry safety orders as set forth in Title 8 of the California
Administrative Code. Lessee further warrants that it will not interfere with any
actions by Lessor made in furtherance of the above laws and regulations and it
shall comply with any reasonable procedures and/or regulations promulgated by
Lessor from time to time in connection with the matters covered by such laws and
regulations, provided that Lessor shall have no duty to establish any procedures
or regulations or to supervise in any way Lessee's activities on the Premises.
Lessee warrants that all governmental inspections of the Premises as required
under the laws referenced above have been made and will be made, and Lessee
shall deliver within 15 days of the date hereof to Lessor a copy of the reports
of each such inspection most recently conducted. Lessee shall provide a copy of
the reports for each such future inspection within 15 days of Lessee's receipt
of such report. Except in instances when a governmental report of such
inspection has been made within the last 12 month period, Lessee shall obtain at
its sole cost an inspection by a private engineering firm, resulting in a
written report specifying Lessee's compliance, or enumerating the reasons for
Lessee's lack of compliance, with such regulations. Lessee indemnifies and shall
hold Lessor harmless from a breach of the above warranty and from any claim
arising from Lessee's particular use of the Premises, including but not limited
to, (a) the disposal or use of hazardous waste, or (b) the disposal or escape of
odorous, carcinogenic and/or pathogenic exhaust from the Premises. Lessee shall
pay all of Lessor's costs and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from a breach
of Lessee's warranty set forth above, whether or not litigation is commenced,
including but not limited to, the costs of defending any claims made against
Lessor as a result of such breach. Lessor shall have the right to defend such
claims with attorneys of its own election and Lessee shall pay the cost thereof.
Nothing herein shall suggest that Lessee shall be responsible for the condition
of the Property prior to its first obtaining possession of the Premises.
11.0 DEFAULT PROVISIONS.
11.1 Insolvency. If, during the Term, Lessee shall be declared insolvent or
bankrupt, or if any assignment of Lessee's property shall be made for the
benefit of creditors or otherwise, or if Lessee's leasehold interest herein
shall be
-14-
<PAGE>
levied upon under execution or seized by virtue of any writ of any court of law,
or a trustee in bankruptcy or a receiver be appointed for the property of
Lessee, any such occurrence shall be a material default of this Lease, and
entitle Lessor at its election to terminate the Lease.
11.2 Non-Payment, Breach Or Vacating. If (a) Lessee shall fail to make
payment of any rent or any charge owing hereunder, or (b) any other covenant,
condition, agreement or obligation of Lessee hereunder is not timely performed
and either the breach is not cured within 15 days after written notice from
Lessor or the cure of the breach is not commenced within 15 days after written
notice from Lessor and thereafter diligently prosecuted towards completion,
Lessee shall be in default and Lessor shall be entitled to take the actions set
forth in Paragraphs 11.4 and 11.5 below and Lessor may pursue any other remedy
available by law.
11.3 Default Under Other Leases. Any default under either the Building E
Lease or the Heinz Street Lease shall be deemed a default under this Lease,
entitling Lessor to take the actions set forth in Paragraphs 11.4 and 11.5 below
and Lessor may pursue any other remedy available by law.
11.4 Lessor's Right to Relet. Upon recovery of possession of the Premises,
whether with or without legal proceedings, by reason of Lessee's breach of this
Lease, Lessor may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, remove any
signs and property of Lessee therefrom and relet the Premises or any part
thereof at such rent and upon such terms and conditions as Lessor in its
discretion shall determine, and the term of such reletting may be for a term
extending beyond the Term. Such reletting shall neither void nor terminate this
Lease. For the purpose of such reletting, Lessor is authorized to make repairs
or alterations in or to the Premises at the sole expense of Lessee as may be
necessary or desirable for the purpose of such reletting. The costs and expenses
of such reletting, including repairs and alterations and any reasonable real
estate commissions associated with such reletting shall be paid by Lessee. If a
sum shall not be realized from such reletting to equal the monthly rent payable
hereunder plus all other monthly charges to be paid by Lessee hereunder, less
any amount of rental loss for the same period which Lessee proves could be
reasonably avoided by Lessor, Lessee will pay such deficiency each month to
Lessor. In no event shall Lessor be entitled to any excess rent received by
Lessor. No re-entry, taking of possession or reletting of the Premises by Lessor
shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless written notice
of such intention is given to Lessee or unless terminated thereof is decreed by
a court of competent jurisdiction.
11.5 Right To Terminate. Notwithstanding any such reletting without
termination, Lessor may at any time during the Term elect to terminate the Lease
by reason of a previous breach. In the event that Lessor shall at any time
terminate this Lease by reason of breach thereof by Lessee, then Lessor, in
addition to any other remedy it may have, may recover from Lessee any damages
incurred by reason of such breach including, without limitation, the cost of
recovering the Premises, and
-15-
<PAGE>
the amount by which the rent then unpaid for the balance of the Term exceeds the
amount of such rental loss for the same period which the Lessee proves could be
reasonably avoided by Lessor. Lessee hereby waives all statutory rights
inconsistent with this Paragraph.
11.6 Default By Lessor. Lessor will be in default if Lessor fails to
perform any obligation required of Lessor (other than a delay in delivery of
possession as provided for in Paragraph 3.2 above) within 30 days after written
notice by Lessee, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such
obligation; provided that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more
than 30 days are required for performance, then Lessor shall not be in default
if Lessor commences performance within such 30 day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes the same to completion; and provided further that if the
performance of any obligation required by Lessor is necessary to correct a
condition that poses a threat to life or property, then Lessor shall perform
such obligation as soon as reasonably possible after receiving written notice
from Lessee, specifying that the condition is threatening.
12.0 EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION.
12.1 Surrender Of Possession. Lessee agrees to deliver up and surrender to
Lessor possession of the Premises and all improvements thereon, subject to the
terms of Paragraph 7.4 above, in as good order and condition as when possession
was taken by Lessee, excepting only ordinary wear and tear. Upon termination of
this Lease, Lessor may reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property
therefrom. If Lessee shall fail to remove any effects which it is entitled to
remove from the Premises upon the termination of this Lease, for any cause
whatsoever, Lessor, at its option, may remove the same and store or dispose of
them, and Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor on demand any and all expenses incurred
in such removal and in making the Premises free from all dirt, litter, debris
and obstruction, including all storage and insurance charges. If the Premises
are not surrendered at the end of the Term, Lessee shall indemnify Lessor
against loss or liability resulting from delay by Lessee in so surrendering the
Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding
Lessee founded on such delay.
12.2 Holding Over. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession
of the Premises after expiration of the term and if Lessor and Lessee have not
executed an express written agreement as to such holding over, then such
occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month at a monthly rental equivalent
to 110% of the monthly rental in effect immediately prior to such expiration,
such payments to be made as herein provided. In the event of such holding over
all of the terms of this Lease including the payment of all charges owing
hereunder other than rent shall remain in force and effect on said month to
month basis.
12.3 Voluntary Surrender. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by
Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, but shall, at
the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing subleases or
-16-
<PAGE>
subtenancies, or operate as an assignment to Lessor of any or all such subleases
or subtenancies.
13.0 CONDEMNATION OF PREMISES.
13.1 Total Condemnation. If the entire Premises, whether by exercise of
governmental power or the sale or transfer by Lessor to any condemnor under
threat of condemnation or while proceedings for condemnation are pending, at any
time during the Term, shall be taken by condemnation such that there does not
remain a portion suitable for occupation, this Lease shall then terminate as of
the date transfer of possession is required. Upon such condemnation, all rent
shall be paid up to the date transfer of possession is required, and Lessee
shall have no claim against Lessor for the value of the unexpired term of this
Lease.
13.2 Partial Condemnation. If any portion of the Premises is taken by
condemnation during the Term, whether by exercise of governmental power or the
sale or transfer by Lessor to any condemnor under threat of condemnation or
while proceedings for condemnation are pending, this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect; except that in the event a partial taking leaves the Premises
unfit for normal and proper conduct of the business of Lessee, then Lessee shall
have the right to terminate this Lease effective upon the date transfer of
possession is required. Moreover, Lessor shall have the right to terminate this
Lease effective on the date transfer of possession is required if more than 33%
of the total square footage of the Premises or the Property is taken by
condemnation. Lessee and Lessor may elect to exercise their respective rights to
terminate this Lease pursuant to this Paragraph by serving written notice to the
other within 30 days of their receipt of notice of condemnation. All rent shall
be paid up to the date of termination, and Lessee shall have no claim against
Lessor for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease. If this Lease shall
not be cancelled, the rent after such partial taking shall be that percentage of
the adjusted base rent specified herein, equal to the percentage which the
square footage of the untaken part of the Premises, immediately after the
taking, bears to the square footage of the entire Premises immediately before
the taking. Any sums owing hereunder which are calculated on the basis of
Lessee's pro rata share (as set forth in Paragraph 1.4) shall also be adjusted
to reflect the decreased square footage of the Premises due to the condemnation.
If Lessee's continued use of the Premises requires alterations and repairs by
reason of a partial taking, all such alterations and repairs shall be made by
Lessee at Lessee's expense.
13.3 Award To Lessee. In the event of any condemnation, whether total or
partial, Lessee shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning
authority such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by
Lessee for loss of business, fixtures or equipment belonging to Lessee
immediately prior to the condemnation. The balance of any condemnation award
shall belong to Lessor and Lessee shall have no further right to recover from
Lessor or the condemning authority for any additional claims arising out of such
taking.
-17-
<PAGE>
14.0 ENTRY BY LESSOR.
Lessee shall permit Lessor and its agents to enter the Premises at all
reasonable times for any of the following purposes: to inspect the Premises; to
maintain the Structural Components of the Premises; to make such repairs to the
Premises as Lessor is obligated or may elect to make; to make repairs,
alterations or additions to any other portion of the Property; to show the
Premises and post "To Lease" signs for the purposes of reletting during the last
90 days of the Term; to show the Premises as part of a prospective sale by
Lessor or to post notices of nonresponsibility. Notwithstanding the above,
except in the case of emergencies, Lessor shall give at least 24 hours prior
written notice before entry to either the laboratories or other non-office
restricted areas. Lessor shall have such right of entry without any rebate of
rent to Lessee for any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises
thereby occasioned.
15.0 INDEMNIFICATION.
Lessee agrees not to hold Lessor liable for any injury or damage, either
proximate or remote, occurring through or caused by any repairs or alterations
to the Premises, except to the extent such injury or damage arises from the
willful misconduct or negligence of Lessor. Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not
be liable for any injury or damage occasioned by defective electric wiring, or
the breaking, bursting, stoppage or leaking of any part of the plumbing, air
conditioning, heating, fire-control sprinkler systems or gas, sewer or steam
pipes, except to the extent such injury or damage arises from the willful
misconduct or negligence of Lessor. Lessee will save and hold harmless Lessor
from all loss, expense, damage or injury to persons or property arising from or
occurring by reason of its occupation or use of the Premises, except to the
extent such losses or injuries are proximately caused by any willful misconduct
or negligence of Lessor. Lessor shall not be liable for any damage to or loss of
property of Lessee or other persons located on the Premises, and Lessee shall
hold Lessor harmless from any claims arising out of damage to the same, except
to the extent such loss or damage is proximately caused by the willful
misconduct or negligence of Lessor.
16.0 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
Lessee shall not assign this Lease in whole or in part, or sublet the
Premises or any part thereof, or license the use of all or any portion of the
Premises or business conducted thereon, or encumber or hypothecate this Lease,
without first obtaining the written consent of Lessor, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld. Lessee shall submit in writing to Lessor: (a) the name
and legal composition of the proposed sublessee; (b) the nature of the proposed
sublessee's business to be carried on in the Premises; (c) the terms and
provisions of the proposed sublease; and (d) such financial and other reasonable
information as Lessor may request concerning the proposed sublessee. Any
assignment, subletting, licensing, encumbering, or hypothecating of this Lease
without such prior written consent shall, at the option of Lessor, constitute
grounds for termination of this Lease.
-18-
<PAGE>
Lessor's consent to any assignment or sublease shall not constitute a waiver of
the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease. This
prohibition against assignment and subletting shall be construed to include a
prohibition against assignment or subletting by operation of law.
Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting with Lessor's consent, Lessee shall
remain fully liable on this Lease and shall not be released from its obligations
hereunder. In the event Lessor shall consent to a sublease or assignment under
this Paragraph, Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in
connection with giving such consent. In addition, Lessee shall pay to Lessor
with its regularly scheduled rent payments 75% of all sums collected by Lessee
from a sublessee or assignee which are in excess of the rent and charges then
owing to Lessor pursuant to this Lease.
17.0 DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
17.1 Right To Terminate On Destruction Of Premises. Lessor shall have the
right to terminate this Lease if, during the Term, the Premises are damaged to
an extent exceeding 33% of the then reconstruction cost of the Premises as a
whole. Lessor shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if any portion
of the Premises is damaged by an uninsured peril. In either case, Lessor may
elect to so terminate by written notice to Lessee delivered within 30 days of
the happening of such damage.
17.2 Repairs By Lessor. If Lessor shall not elect to terminate this Lease
pursuant to Paragraph 17.1, Lessor shall, immediately upon receipt of insurance
proceeds paid in connection with such casualty, but in no event later than 90
days after such damage has occurred, proceed to repair or rebuild the Premises,
on the same plan and design as existed immediately before such damage or
destruction occurred, subject to such delays as may be reasonably attributable
to governmental restrictions or failure to obtain materials or labor, or other
causes beyond the control of Lessor. Lessee shall be liable for the repair and
replacement of all fixtures, leasehold improvements, furnishings, merchandise,
equipment and personal property not covered by the property insurance described
in Paragraph 6.2.
17.3 Reduction Of Rent During Repairs. In the event Lessee is able to
continue to conduct its business during the making of repairs, the rent then
prevailing will be equitably reduced in the proportion that the unusable part of
the Premises bears to the whole thereof for the period that repairs are being
made. No rent shall be payable while the Premises are wholly unusable due to
casualty damage.
17.4 Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to
this Paragraph shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules of
the American Arbitration Association as then in effect, and judgment upon the
award rendered by the arbitration may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction. The expenses of arbitration shall be borne by the parties as
allocated by the arbitrators. The party desiring arbitration shall serve notice
upon the other party, together with designation of the first party's arbitrator.
-19-
<PAGE>
17.5 Lessor's Overriding Right To Terminate. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, if the discounted present value of the rent due hereunder
for the balance of the Term, using as the discount rate the prime commercial
lending rate in effect at the Bank of America as of the date Lessor is to
commence repairs pursuant to Paragraph 17.2 hereof, is less than the cost of
repairing the damage to the Premises, Lessor may at its option terminate this
Lease upon 10 days' written notice.
18.0 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
18.1 Waiver. No waiver of any breach of any of the covenants or conditions
of this Lease shall be construed to be a waiver of any other breach or to be a
consent to any further or succeeding breach of the same or other covenant or
condition. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant or
condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular
rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at
the time of acceptance of such rent.
18.2 Successors And Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties.
18.3 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and either
personally delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, properly addressed to the other party at the address set forth
next to its signature below, or at such other address or addresses as may from
time to time be designated in like manner by one party to the other. Any such
notice shall be deemed given when personally delivered or on the date indicated
on the Post Office's certified mail receipt.
18.4 Partial Invalidity. If for any reason any provision of this Lease
shall be determined to be invalid or inoperative, the validity and effect of the
other provisions hereof shall not be affected thereby.
18.5 Number And Gender. All terms in this Lease shall be construed to mean
either the singular or the plural, masculine, feminine or neuter, as the
situation may demand.
18.6 Descriptive Headings. The headings used herein and in any of the
documents attached hereto as schedules, lists or exhibits are descriptive only
and for the convenience of identifying provisions, and are not determinative of
the meaning or effect of any such provisions.
18.7 Time Is Of The Essence. In all matters time is of the essence in the
performance of all obligations under this Lease.
-20-
<PAGE>
18.8 Entire Agreement. This Lease and the documents attached hereto as
schedules, lists or exhibits, constitute the entire agreement and understanding
between the parties with respect to the subject matters herein and therein, and
supersede and replace any prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or
written, between and among them with respect to the lease of the Premises,
rental therefor, use thereof and all other such matters. The provisions of this
Lease may be waived, altered, amended or repealed in whole or in part only upon
the written consent of Lessor and Lessee.
18.9 Memorandum Of Lease. Lessor and Lessee mutually agree that they will
not file or record a copy of this Lease, but that in the event Lessor or Lessee
requests a recording, Lessor and Lessee shall execute and acknowledge a
memorandum of this Lease in a form approved by the parties setting forth in said
memorandum the description of the Premises, the date of the Lease, the
Commencement Date and the date of termination. Said memorandum of Lease may be
recorded in the Recorder's Office of the County in which the Premises are
located.
18.10 Applicable Law. This Lease Agreement construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.
18.11 Corporate Authority. Each individual executing this Lease on behalf
of a corporation represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute
and deliver this Lease on behalf of the corporation in accordance with a duly
adopted resolution of the Board of Directors of the corporation, and that this
Lease is binding upon said corporation in accordance with its terms.
18.12 Litigation Expense. If any party shall bring an action against any
other party hereto by reason of the breach of any covenant, warranty,
representation or condition hereof, or otherwise arising out of this Agreement
or any schedule, list or exhibit hereto, whether for declaratory or other
relief, the prevailing party in such suit shall be entitled to such party's
costs of suit and attorneys' fees, which shall be payable whether or not such
action is prosecuted to judgment.
18.13 Subordination Of Leasehold. Lessee agrees that this Lease is and
shall be, at all times, subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or
other encumbrances which Lessor may create against the Premises including all
renewals, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, however, that
regardless of any default under any such mortgage or encumbrance or any sale of
the Premises under such mortgage, so long as Lessee performs all covenants and
conditions of this Lease and continues to make all payments hereunder, this
Lease and Lessee's possession and rights hereunder shall not be disturbed by the
mortgagees or anyone claiming under or through such mortgages. Lessee agrees to
execute any and all instruments in writing which may be required by Lessor to
subordinate Lessee's rights to the lien of such mortgage.
18.14 Lessee's Certificate. Within 15 days following Lessor's request,
Lessee shall complete, execute and

full force and effect) and the date to which the rental and other charges are
paid in advance, if any, (b) acknowledgement that there are not, to Lessee's
knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Lessor hereunder, or specifying
such defaults if any are claimed and (c) setting forth the date of commencement
and expiration of the Term. Failure of Lessee to deliver such Certificate within
said 15 days shall be deemed to be an acknowledgement that Lessor is not in
default under the Lease, and that the terms of the Lease have not been modified
or supplemented in any way. It is intended that such Certificate may be relied
upon by any prospective purchaser, lender or assignee of any lender of the
Premises.
18.15 Attornment. Lessee shall, in the event of any sale of the Premises or
if proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise
of the power of sale under, any mortgage, installment land contract or deed of
trust made by Lessor covering the Premises, attorn to the mortgagee or the
purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such mortgagee or
purchaser as Lessor under this Lease, provided that Lessee's possession and
rights hereunder shall not be disturbed by the mortgagee or purchaser.
18.16 Day. As used herein, the term "day" shall mean, unless otherwise
specifically stated, a calendar day.
18.17 Brokers. The only broker's fees in connection with this Lease shall
be payable by Lessor to Coldwell Banker. Each party hereby indemnifies and
agrees to hold the other harmless from any and all other broker fees.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Lease on the day and
year first written above.

Dear Ho:
This will confirm our agreement modifying those certain Leases entered into

certain space within Buildings C, E and F at the Aquatic Park Center.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Leases, if the Commencement Date
under one or more of the Leases is later than May 1, 1988, then the first
Adjustment Date under Paragraph 4.2 of those Leases for which there is such a
delayed Commencement Date shall be changed to that date which is "X" number of
days after October 1, 1990. As used above, "X" shall be the number of days

2. PREMISES.
2.1. Description. Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant for its
exclusive use and occupancy subject to the provisions of this Lease. In addition
to the square footage described above, Tenant shall be deemed to occupy an
additional 11.1% of such square footage (an additional 3,284 square feet for a
total of 32,868 square feet) for purposes of the calculation of Base Monthly
Rent and for the purpose of all Pro Rata Share calculations. Said 11.1%
represents Tenant's share of the rental charges for the Common Area. For all
calculations required under this Lease respecting proration of expenses, costs
or charges, the Premises shall be deemed to consist of the square footage of the
Premises augmented by the square footage of the Common Area attributable to
Tenant pursuant to this paragraph (sometimes hereafter "Tenant's Common Area").
Tenant shall have a right to the non-exclusive use of the Common Area in
conjunction with all other tenants of the Property.
2.2. Tenant Improvements. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant to perform
the work and supply material and labor to prepare the Premises for occupancy are
set forth in Exhibit B to this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall expend all funds
and do all acts required of them in Exhibit B and shall have the work performed
promptly and diligently in a workmanlike manner. Tenant shall not commence the
construction of any improvements to be undertaken by Tenant until Landlord has
approved in writing the final drawings for said improvements.
2.3. Possession. Tenant is already in possession of the Premises. Tenant
occupies a portion of the Premises under the terms of an existing Lease
agreement effective October 1, 1987 (hereafter the "Old Lease") between Tenant
as "Lessee" and Landlord (incorrectly named as Seventh Street Properties) as
"Lessor". Tenant occupies the remainder of the Premises under the provisions of
a month to month sublet from Sybase which right of occupancy terminated upon the
expiration of the Sybase lease on December 31, 1991. Tenant shall remain in
possession of the Premises under the terms of this Lease.
3. TERM.
3.1. Term. The Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall
continue thereafter for the duration of the Term, unless sooner terminated
pursuant to this Lease.
3.2. Delay in Commencement. If Landlord cannot deliver possession to Tenant
of that portion of the Premises not currently occupied by Tenant on the
Commencement Date, such failure shall not affect the validity of this Lease,
extend the Term nor render Landlord liable to Tenant for any loss resulting
therefrom. If possession of such portion of the Premises is not delivered to
Tenant on the Commencement Date for any reason other than a delay attributable
to Tenant and its Agents, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay rent on that
portion of the Premises not delivered to Tenant until Landlord tenders
possession of the Premises to Tenant. After 120 Days following the Commencement
Date have elapsed, if Landlord still cannot deliver possession of any portion of
the Premises to Tenant for any reason other than a delay attributable to Tenant
and its Agents, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease on written
notice delivered to Landlord. In such event, Tenant shall have no further
recourse against Landlord respecting the Lease or Landlord's inability to
deliver the Premises to Tenant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
2
<PAGE>
Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation to pay damages or adjustments to Tenant
for delays outside of Landlord's control, including, without limitation, conduct
of Tenant and its Agents, acts of God, war, inclement weather and/or labor
strikes (including strikes affecting the supply of labor and/or materials).
Tenant's acceptance of possession of the Premises shall constitute an
irrevocable waiver of Tenant's right to terminate under the provisions of this
paragraph.
4. RENT.
4.1. Base Monthly Rent. On the Commencement Date and on the first Day of
each Month of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance, in United
States dollars, as Base Monthly Rent for the Premises, the per square foot
rental rate set forth in paragraph 1.3 (as adjusted pursuant to paragraph 4.2)
multiplied by the square footage of the Premises as adjusted pursuant to
paragraph 2.1. The initial Base Monthly Rent (inclusive of Common Area allocated
to Tenant pursuant to paragraph 2.1 of this Lease) shall be $60,805.80. If the
actual square footage of the Premises is determined to be other than the
unadjusted amount set forth in paragraph 2.1, the Base Monthly Rent shall be
adjusted in proportion to the difference between the actual floor area and the
unadjusted amount set forth in paragraph 2.1. If alterations to the Premises
increase the square footage of the Premises, the Base Monthly Rent shall be
proportionately adjusted. If the Commencement Date is not the first Day of a
Month, such installment shall be applied per diem against payment of the rent
from the date rent commences until the first Day of the next succeeding Month.
Any unused portion of said amount shall be applied against payment of the rent
for the following Month, and the balance of the rent for that Month shall be due
on the first Day thereof.
4.2. Base Monthly Rent Adjustment. The Base Monthly Rent payable under this
Lease shall be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph during the
Term. All adjustments to the Base Monthly Rent shall be determined by reference
to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, San Francisco-Oakland-San
Jose, California, All Items, published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
(the "C.P.I."). Such increases shall be made as of each of the third, sixth and
ninth anniversaries of the Commencement Date (each such anniversary is sometimes
hereafter referred to as an "Adjustment Date"). In the event that the Term is
extended, in the absence of any contrary agreement of the parties, the rent will
continue to adjust every anniversary of the Commencement Date divisible evenly
by three (3, 6, 9, 12, etc.) Effective upon each Adjustment Date, the Base
Monthly Rent shall be increased by the percentage, if any, by which the C.P.I.
for the third Month prior to that Adjustment Date exceeds the C.P.I. for the
third Month prior to the Commencement Date (in the event of the first Adjustment
Date) or for the third Month prior to the immediately preceding Adjustment Date
(for the second and each subsequent Adjustment Date). If the C.P.I. is not
published for any Month herein specified, increases in Base Monthly Rent shall
be determined by reference to the C.P.I. available for the Month closest, but
prior to, such Month. If the C.P.I ceases to be published prior to expiration of
this Lease, the increases in Base Monthly Rent shall be determined by using such
comparable measure of the purchasing power of the consumer dollar as may
reasonably be selected by Landlord and Tenant. Calculation of the adjusted Base
Monthly Rent shall be computed as follows: the rent payable for the Month
immediately preceding the Adjustment Date shall be multiplied by a fraction, the
denominator of which shall be the C.P.I. for the third Month prior to the
Commencement Date of the Lease (in the case of the first adjustment) or for the
third Month prior to the last Adjustment Date (for the second and subsequent
adjustments) and the numerator of which shall be the C.P.I. for the third Month
next preceding the current Adjustment Date. The rent so calculated shall be the
Calculated Adjustment to the Base Monthly Rent. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Lease shall such new Base Monthly Rent (the Calculated
Adjustment) be less than the Base Monthly Rent payable for the Month immediately
preceding the then current Adjustment Date. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Lease, the Calculated Adjustment shall never result in an annual
increase of less than 2.5% or more than 5% of the Base Monthly Rent used for
purposes of determining the then current Calculated Adjustment to the Base
Monthly Rent. The minimum and maximum adjustments shall be cumulative so that
the Base Monthly Rent shall be increased by not less than 7.5% nor more than 15%
as of each Adjustment Date.

<PAGE>
4.3. Mode of Payment. Tenant shall pay rent due Landlord at Landlord's
address set forth on the signature page of this Lease, or such other place as
Landlord may designate in writing.
4.4. Additional Rent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease,
if, during any Lease Year, the Property's Operating Expenses exceed Base Year
Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to all other
payments due under this Lease, Tenants' Pro Rata Share of the amount by which
actual Operating Expenses for that year exceed Base Year Operating Expenses (the
"Excess Operating Expenses"). If during any Lease Year the amount by which Tax
and/or insurance premiums paid during such Lease Year exceed the amount paid for
such items in the Base Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent
the, its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the excess payments for such item over
the Base Year payments. Tenant's obligation to pay Excess Operating Expenses
shall be effective in every year during the Term. Nothing in this paragraph
shall entitle Landlord to double charge Tenant for Tenant's pro rata share of
Tax or insurance payments.
4.5. Base Year Operating Expenses. Base Year Operating Expenses are actual
Operating Expenses incurred for the Property during the Base Year. Within three
months after the end of the Base Year, or as soon thereafter as may be
practical, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a list of Base Year Operating
Expenses (the "Schedule"). The Schedule will fix the amount of the Base Year
Operating Expenses for all purposes under this Lease. If Tenant requests,
Landlord will provide Tenant with verification of amounts shown in the schedule.
If Landlord, for any reason, neglects or fails to timely provide the Schedule to
Tenant, such failure shall not be a default under or breach of this Lease,
neither shall it be deemed a waiver of any rights of Landlord to collect
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Excess Operating Expenses, nor shall it excuse
Tenant's performance of any obligations under this Lease. Prior to the
Commencement of each Lease Year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord's
good faith estimate of Excess Operating Expenses for the current Lease Year (the
"Estimated Excess"). Tenant shall pay its Pro Rata Share of Estimated Excess in
equal monthly installments throughout the then current Lease Year. Landlord
shall annually account for Excess Operating Expenses and Tenant's payment of its
Pro Rata Share of Excess Operating Expenses (the "Accounting"). Forthwith upon
the preparation of the Accounting, Landlord shall return to Tenant additional
rent paid against Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Estimated Excess which exceeds
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the actual Excess Operating Expenses for the year.
Forthwith upon the delivery to Tenant of the Accounting, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord any amount by which Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Excess Operating
Expenses for the year exceeds Tenant's payments against its Pro Rata Share.
Landlord may prepare the Accounting on the basis of the Lease Year or the
calendar year; if Landlord uses the calendar year, an adjustment will be made
for any portion of the calendar year that this Lease was not in effect. Landlord
estimates Base Year Operating Expenses for the items listed below as follows:
Property Taxes and Business Licenses - $49,296; Property and Liability Insurance
- - $8676; Maintenance $27,600; Management Fees - $37,200, Landscaping and
Security Services - $28,008. Each of the foregoing estimates reflects the
anticipated expenses for the Base Year. Landlord makes no warranty as to the
accuracy of such numbers; nor shall such numbers serve as a minimum or maximum
for such items for purposes of calculating the Base Year Operating Expenses.
4.6. Security Deposit. Concurrent with Tenant's execution of this Lease,
Tenant shall deposit with Landlord $60,805.80 (the "Deposit"). Landlord shall
hold the Deposit as security for Tenant's faithful performance of all terms of
this Lease. Landlord may, at its option, apply the Deposit, or any portion of
the Deposit, to remedy defaults in the payment of rent or other charge
hereunder, to repair damages to the Premises caused by Tenant and its Agents,
and/or clean the Premises upon termination. If any portion of the Deposit is so
used or applied, Tenant shall, within 10 Days after written demand therefor,
deliver cash to Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Deposit to its
original amount. Tenant's failure to do so shall be a default under the terms of
this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Deposit separate from its
general funds; Tenant shall not receive interest on the Deposit. If Tenant fully
performs every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Deposit or any
balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the
last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) following Tenant's surrender of
the Premises. In the event of a sale or transfer of Landlord's interest in this
Lease,
4
<PAGE>
Landlord shall transfer the Deposit to its successor-in-interest, whereupon
Landlord shall be released from all liability for return of and/or accounting
for the Deposit.
4.7. Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant
to Landlord of rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, without limitation, processing,
accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the
terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Property. Accordingly, if any
installment of Base Monthly Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be
received by Landlord within 5 Days after the amount is due, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord a late charge equal to 5% of the overdue amount. The parties hereby
agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the
costs Landlord will incur by reason of Tenant's late payment. Landlord's
acceptance of a late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default
respecting the overdue amount or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the
remedies available hereunder.
5. TAXES.
5.1. Real and Personal Property Taxes. Landlord shall pay all real property
Tax and all Tax on personal property owned by Landlord relating to the Premises
and the Property. Nothing in this paragraph shall be so construed as to modify
Tenant's obligation to pay to Landlord Tenant's Pro Rata Share of any Tax in
excess of the Tax imposed during the Base Year.
5.2. Taxes on Tenant's Property. Tenant shall pay before delinquency all
Tax levied or assessed on Tenant's fixtures, improvements, furnishings,
merchandise, equipment and personal property in and on the Premises, whether or
not affixed to the Property. If at any time after any Tax has become due or
payable, Tenant neglects to pay such Tax, Landlord shall be entitled, but not
obligated, to pay the same at any time thereafter and such amount so paid by
Landlord shall be repaid by Tenant to Landlord with Tenant's next rent
installment together with interest at the highest rate allowable by law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to contest personal
property Tax assessed against Tenant.
6. INSURANCE.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to modify Tenant's obligation to pay
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of insurance premiums in excess of the Base Year
premiums. Except as otherwise provided by this Lease, Tenant shall pay its Pro
Rata Share of all deductibles.
6.1. Property Insurance. Landlord shall keep the Property insured for up to
100% of replacement value against damage by fire and risks normally included by
the insurance industry in the term "All Risk". Any recovery received from such
insurance shall belong to Landlord. Tenant shall have no claim to any portion of
any recovery under such policies.
6.2. Fixtures. Tenant shall, at its sole expense, maintain insurance with
"All Risk" coverage on all fixtures, leasehold improvements, furnishings,
merchandise, equipment and personal property in or on the Premises in place as
of the date hereof and installed hereafter. Tenant shall maintain at its sole
cost any other types of insurance Tenant deems appropriate.
6.3. Landlord's Liability Insurance. During the Term, Landlord shall
maintain a policy or policies of comprehensive general liability insurance with
combined single limit coverage of at least $2 million, insuring Landlord (and
others designated by Landlord, but excluding Tenant) against liability for
bodily injury, death and property damage on or about the Property.
6.4. Tenant's Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, at its sole expense,
maintain for the mutual benefit of Landlord and Tenant, comprehensive general
liability and property damage insurance against claims for bodily injury, death
or property damage occurring in or about the Premises or arising out of the use
or occupancy of the Premises, with combined single limit coverage of not less
than $2 million. Such insurance shall include, without limitation, products
liability coverage for liability arising from the consumption of any food or
beverages sold at or from the Premises, and so-called host liquor and dram shop
liability coverage from liability arising from the consumption of alcoholic
beverages consumed at or sold from the Premises. The limits of such insurance
shall not limit Tenant's liability. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord prior to
the Commencement Date, and at least 30 Days prior to the expiration date of any
policy, certificates
5
<PAGE>
indicating that the liability insurance required of Tenant is in full force and
effect, that Landlord has been named as an additional insured, and that no such
policy will be cancelled unless 30 Days' prior written notice of cancellation
has been given to Landlord. Said policies shall provide that Landlord, as an
additional insured, may recover for any loss suffered by Landlord by reason of
Tenant's negligence, and shall include a broad form liability endorsement.
Except as may be otherwise approved by Landlord in writing prior to the issuance
of such insurance policy, all insurance policies which Tenant is required to
obtain under the provisions of this Lease shall be obtained from companies with
a general policy rating of A+ or better as set forth in the most current issue
of "Best Insurance Guide" and a "AAA" rating by either Moody's Rating Service or
Standard & Poor's Rating Service. All insurance policies obtained by Tenant
pursuant to the requirement of this Lease shall be in a form satisfactory to
Landlord.
6.5. Subrogation Waiver. Landlord and Tenant hereby release each other and
their respective Agents from any and all claims or demands of damage, loss,
expense or injury to the Premises, the Property, the furnishings and fixtures
and equipment or inventory or other property of either Landlord or Tenant in,
about or upon Property, which is caused by or results from perils, events which
are the subject of insurance carried by the parties in force at the time of such
loss; provided, however, that such waiver shall be effective only to the extent
permitted by the insurance covering such loss and to the extent insurance
coverage is not prejudiced thereby. Each party shall cause each insurance policy
it obtains to provide that the insurer waives all right of recovery by way of
subrogation against either party in connection with damage covered by such
policy.
6.6. Indemnification. Except in the case of Landlord's intentional
misconduct or negligence, Tenant will indemnify Landlord and save it harmless
from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability and expense in
connection with loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property arising
from or out of any occurrence in, upon or at the Premises, or the occupancy or
use by Tenant of the Property or any part thereof, or occasioned wholly or in
part by any acts or omissions of Tenant, its Agents, contractors, employees,
servants, licensees or concessionaires or by anyone permitted to be on the
Premises by Tenant (collectively "Tenant and its Agents"). If Landlord shall be
made a party to any such litigation commenced by or against Tenant, Tenant shall
protect and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, liabilities, costs and
expenses, and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable legal fees incurred
by Landlord in connection with such litigation. If Tenant is made a party to any
litigation commenced by or against Landlord solely as a result of Landlord's
intentional misconduct or Landlord's negligence, Landlord shall defend and
indemnify Tenant against the costs of such litigation. As used herein,
"litigation" includes arbitration. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit or
prevent the application of the doctrine of comparative negligence; and in the
event of negligence by Landlord and Tenant, each party shall bear responsibility
for a proportionate share of the damages based upon the doctrine of comparative
negligence.
6.7. Plate Glass Replacement. If any glass in and about the Premises is
damaged or broken by cause other than the acts of Landlord and its Agents,
Tenant shall pay Landlord's cost of replacement, provided that such amount shall
not exceed the deductible then in effect on Landlord's insurance policy, if any,
covering the damaged glass. Nothing herein shall be construed to require
Landlord or Tenant to carry plate glass insurance.
6.8. Worker's Compensation. Tenant shall, at its sole expense, keep in
force worker's compensation insurance and other insurance to comply with all
applicable Regulations.
7. MAINTENANCE.
Nothing in this paragraph shall modify Tenant's obligation to pay its Pro Rata
Share of Excess Operating Expenses.
7.1. Premises. Tenant shall repair all damage to the interior of the
Premises and keep the Premises in good order, condition and repair. Tenant's
obligations include all interior walls, doors, doorways, lighting fixtures,
plumbing fixtures, and all windows located in the Premises. Tenant waives the
provisions of any law permitting repairs by a tenant at the expense of a
landlord, including, without limitation, California Civil Code ss.ss. 1941
through 1946, inclusive.
6
<PAGE>
7.2. Common Areas and Systems. Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas of
the Property in good order and condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord shall repair damage occasioned by the acts of Tenant and its Agents at
Tenant's sole expense. Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, of necessary
repairs or maintenance to Common Areas and systems and Landlord shall make
necessary repairs within a reasonable time. Landlord shall keep improvements
upon the Property, including all sewer connections, plumbing, heating and
cooling appliances, wiring, HVAC and landscaping in good order and repair
including the replacement of such improvements, appurtenances and landscaping
when necessary. The manner of maintenance and repair of the Property shall be at
Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. Maintenance and repairs will be
completed in a good and workmanlike manner. Landlord shall make commercially
reasonable efforts to perform maintenance and repairs expeditiously and attempt
to minimize interference with Tenant's normal business operations. Landlord will
furnish garbage collection and janitorial services to the Property in a manner
that such services are customarily furnished to comparable buildings in the
area. Nothing in this paragraph modifies Tenant's obligation to pay its Pro Rata
Share of the Property's Excess Operating Expenses to Landlord.
7.3. Alterations, Changes and Additions by Tenant. Tenant shall make no
Alteration to any portion of the Property without Landlord's prior written
consent. As a condition to consent, Landlord may require that Tenant remove such
Alterations at the expiration of the Term and restore the Premises and Property
to their condition prior to the Alteration. As a further condition to consent,
Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord, at Tenant's sole expense, with
a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to 100% of the estimated cost of
the Alteration to insure Landlord against any liability for mechanic's and
materialman's liens and to ensure completion of the Alteration. Each Alteration
shall be under the supervision of a competent architect or competent licensed
structural engineer and made in accordance with plans and specifications
furnished to and approved by Landlord prior to the commencement of work. In the
event that any Alteration increases the floor area of the Premises, the Base
Monthly Rent and Tenant's Pro Rata Share shall be proportionately increased.
Tenant shall provide 14 Days written notice to Landlord of the date on which
construction of each Alteration will commence in order to permit Landlord to
post a notice of nonresponsibility. Each Alteration shall be constructed in a
good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all Regulations relating to such
construction. Every Alteration shall remain for the benefit of and become the
property of Landlord, unless Landlord requires its removal by giving Tenant
written notice at least 30 Days before the date Tenant is to vacate the
Premises, in which case, Tenant shall remove the Alteration(s) and restore the
Premises to their pre-Alteration condition.
7.4. Use of Plumbing, Electrical and HVAC Systems. Tenant shall not use the
plumbing, electrical facilities or heating and air conditioning ("HVAC") systems
for any purpose other than that for which they were constructed. Tenant shall
bear the expense of repair of any breakage, stoppage or other damage relating to
the plumbing, electrical and/or HVAC systems resulting from the actions of
Tenant and its Agents.
7.5. Liens. Tenant shall keep the the Property free from liens arising from
work performed, material furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant. Tenant
shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord from all liens and
encumbrances arising from work performed or materials furnished by or at
Tenant's direction and all actions relating to such liens. In the event that
Tenant shall not, within 20 Days following Tenant becoming aware of the
imposition of any such lien, cause such lien to be released of record by payment
or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall, in addition to all other remedies
provided herein and by law, have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the
same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment of
the claim. All expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, including
attorneys' fees and costs, shall be paid to Landlord by Tenant on demand with
interest at the highest rate allowable by law from the date paid by Landlord to
the date of Tenant's reimbursement to Landlord. Landlord shall have the right at
all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices permitted or
required by law, or which Landlord shall deem proper, for the protection of
Landlord and the Property.

8. MANAGEMENT.
The Wareham Property Group, Inc., an affiliate of Landlord, or another
affiliated or unaffiliated third party, will be hired as property manager.
9. UTILITIES AND SERVICES.
Nothing in this paragraph modifies Tenant's obligation to pay its Pro Rata Share
of Excess Operating Expenses.
9.1. Premises. Landlord shall make available to the Premises water,
electricity for normal office use (including desk top office equipment and
normal copying equipment) at all times. Landlord shall provide to the Premises
heating, ventilation and air-conditioning ("HVAC") as required in Landlord's
reasonable judgment for the comfortable use and occupancy of the Premises during
the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (national holidays
excluded) (hereafter "Standard Business Hours"). If Tenant desires HVAC at any
other time than Standard Business Hours, Landlord will furnish the same to
Tenant on reasonable notice from and at a reasonable charge to Tenant. If
Tenant's use of the Premises requires additional electrical power beyond the
power described above ("Supplemental Electrical Power"), Landlord shall make
commercially reasonable efforts to make such Supplemental Electrical Power
available to Tenant. Tenant shall pay in full all costs associated with
modifications to the electrical system servicing the Property to make such
Supplemental Electrical Power available. Tenant shall not, without Landlord's
written consent, use any device in the Premises which consumes more electricity
than is usually furnished or supplied for use of Premises as general office
space, as determined by Landlord. Tenant shall not connect any apparatus with
electric current except through existing electrical outlets in the Premises. If
Tenant uses heat generating equipment in the Premises, which affects the
temperature otherwise maintained by the HVAC system, the cost of supplementary
air-conditioning units, including the cost of installation, operation and
maintenance thereof, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within 10 Days after
receipt of an invoice. Throughout the Term, Landlord shall pay all "Utility
Charges" (defined as charges for gas and electricity provided to the Premises).
For each month of the Term, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all Utility
Charges paid by Landlord respecting the Premises in excess of $.13 per square
foot per Month of the Premises ($4272.84 per month). The reimbursement referred
to in the preceding sentence shall be made by Tenant to Landlord on a quarterly
basis at the end of each calendar quarter of every year of the Term and within
10 Days of Tenant's receipt of Landlord's billing for such reimbursement. The
provisions of this paragraph respecting Tenant's reimbursement of Utility
Charges for the Premises supersede all other provisions of this Lease respecting
payment of that portion of Operating Expenses consisting of Utility Charges. In
the event that the Premises are not separately metered, Landlord shall equitably
allocate Utility Charges incurred for the Property in order to determine that
portion of the Utility Charges attributable to the Premises in accordance with
the provisions of this paragraph.
9.2. Common Areas. Landlord shall provide utilities, landscaping,
janitorial and, if Landlord deems it necessary or appropriate, security services
for the Common Area.
9.3. Limitation of Liability. Landlord shall not be in breach of this Lease
or be liable for damages directly or indirectly resulting from the following
conditions: (1) interruption of use of equipment in connection with the
furnishing of any of the services described in this section 9; (2) failure to
furnish or delay in furnishing such services caused by accident or any condition
or event beyond Landlord's reasonable control; (3) limitation, curtailment or
rationing of, or restrictions on, use of water, electricity, gas or any other
form of energy serving the Property. Landlord shall not be liable for loss of or
injury to property or business, however occurring, through or in connection with
or incidental to failure to furnish any such services. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, in the event of a deprivation of electrical services to the
Premises for a continuous period of 30 Days for any reason other than the acts
of Tenant and its Agents, Tenant shall have the right to abate the payment of
Base Monthly Rent falling due thereafter and until such service is restored to
the Premises.

10.1. Use. Tenant shall use the Premises for general office purposes and
for no other purposes whatsoever.
10.2. Suitability. This Lease is subject to all applicable Regulations
governing the use of the Property. Tenant has not entered into this Lease in
reliance upon any representation or warranty of Landlord or its Agents as to
suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant's business. Tenant has
made its own analysis of the Premises suitability for Tenant's intended use.
10.3. Uses Prohibited.
10.3.1. Rate of Insurance. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be
done in or about the Premises which will cause the existing rate of insurance
for the Property to increase or cause cancellation of any insurance policy

policy of fire insurance. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the
full amount of any increased premium resulting from Tenant's use of the
Premises.
10.3.2. Interference with Other Tenants. Tenant shall not do or permit
anything to be done in or about the Property which will in any way obstruct or

committed any waste in or upon the Property.

Property which will violate or conflict with any Regulation. Tenant shall, at
its sole cost and expense, comply with all Regulations and with the requirements

constituted relating to the condition, use and occupancy of the Premises. The
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or Tenant's admission in any
action, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant violated a law,
statute, ordinance or government rule, regulation or requirement, shall be
conclusive of that fact between Landlord and Tenant.
10.3.4. Auctions. Tenant shall not conduct or allow any auction or similar
sale upon the Property.
11. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
11.1. Tenant's Default. Each of the following events is a default and
breach of this Lease by Tenant: (a) Tenant's failure to pay any rent or charges
required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease; (b) Tenant's abandonment or
vacation of the Premises; (c) Tenant's failure to promptly and fully perform any
other covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Lease where such
failure continues for 14 Days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant of
such default; (d) the levy of a writ of attachment or execution on this Lease or
on any of Tenant's property located in the Premises; (e) a general assignment
for the benefit of Tenant's creditors or an arrangement, composition, extension
or adjustment with Tenant's creditors, the filing by or against Tenant of a
petition for relief or other proceeding under the federal bankruptcy laws or
state or other insolvency laws, or the assumption by any court or administrative
agency, or by a receiver, trustee or custodian appointed by either, of
jurisdiction, custody or control of the Premises or of Tenant or any substantial
part of its assets or property; or (f) if the interest of Tenant under this
Lease is held by a partnership or by more than one person or entity, the
occurrence of any act or event described in part (e) above in respect of any
partner in the partnership or any person or entity holding an interest in Tenant
of 25% or more. In the event a nonmonetary default occurs which cannot
reasonably be cured within the above time period but Tenant commences corrective
action within said period, Tenant shall not be subject to penalty under this
Lease if it prosecutes the corrective action diligently and continuously to
completion and completes the corrective action within 90 Days of the
commencement of the corrective action.
11.2. Landlord's Remedies. If Tenant defaults under this Lease, in addition
to other rights or remedies Landlord may have under this Lease or the law,
Landlord may elect either of the remedies set forth in paragraphs 11.2.1 and
11.2.2 of this Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease,
Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code ss.1951.4 and
9
<PAGE>
Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant's breach and abandonment
and recover rent as it becomes due. For purposes of this paragraph 11 (inclusive
of all subparagraphs), "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to
in parts 11.2.1(i) and 11.2.2(ii) shall be computed by allowing interest at the
highest rate allowable by law, and "worth at time of award" of the amount
referred to in part 11.2.1(iii) shall be computed by discounting such amount at
the rate specified in California Civil Code ss.1951.2(b) or any successor
statute. In such computations, the rent due hereunder shall include Base Monthly
Rent plus the aggregate amount of all other rentals, charges and other amounts
payable by Tenant hereunder.
11.2.1. Landlord, at its option, shall have the right to immediately
terminate this Lease and Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by giving
written notice to Tenant and to recover from Tenant an award of damages equal to
the sum of (i) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rental which had
been earned at the time of termination, (ii) the worth at the time of award of
the amount by which the unpaid rental which would have been earned after
termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that
Tenant affirmatively proves could have been reasonably avoided, (iii) the worth
at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rental for the balance of
the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that
Tenant affirmatively proves could be reasonably avoided, (iv) any other amount
necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment either proximately caused
by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease or which in
the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, and (v) all
such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be
permitted from time to time under applicable law; or
11.2.2. Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section
1951.4 (Landlord may continue lease in effect after Tenant's breach and
abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to
sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).
11.3. Landlord's Default. Except as otherwise provided by this Lease,
Landlord's failure to perform any obligation required of Landlord (other than a
delay in delivery of possession provided for in paragraph 3.2) within 30 Days
after Tenant's delivery to Landlord of written notice, specifying wherein
Landlord has failed to perform such obligation shall constitute a default; if,
however, the nature of the obligation is such that more than 30 Days are
required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if it commences
performance within such 30 Day period and diligently prosecutes the same to
completion.
12. EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION.
12.1. Surrender of Possession. On expiration or other termination
(hereafter collectively "Termination") of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender to
Landlord possession of the Premises and all improvements thereon, subject to the
provisions of paragraph 7.3 above, in as good order and condition as when
possession was taken by Tenant excepting only ordinary wear and tear. On
Termination, Landlord may reenter the Premises and remove all persons and
property thereon. If Tenant fails to remove any effects that it is required or
entitled to remove from the Premises on Termination, Landlord may remove the
same and, at its option, store or dispose of them. Tenant shall pay Landlord on
demand all expenses incurred in such removal and in making the Premises free
from all dirt, litter, debris and obstruction, including all storage and
insurance charges. If the Premises are not surrendered at the end of the Term,
Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability of resulting from
Tenant's delay in surrendering the Premises, including, without limit, claims
made by succeeding tenants based on such delay.
12.2. Holding Over. If Tenant, with Landlord's consent, remains in
possession of the Premises after Termination and if Landlord and Tenant have not
executed a written agreement as to such holding over, then such occupancy shall
be a tenancy from month to month at a Base Monthly Rent of 110% of the Base
Monthly Rent in effect immediately prior to Termination and such other payments
to be made as herein provided. In the event of holding over, all provisions of
this Lease shall remain in effect on said month to month basis. If Tenant
remains in possession of the Premises after Termination without Landlord's
consent, the monthly fair market rental value of the
10
<PAGE>
Premises for the duration of such holding over shall be deemed to be 110% of the
Base Monthly Rent payable for the last Month of the Term.
12.3. Voluntary Surrender. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease
by Tenant, if accepted by Landlord, or a mutual cancellation hereof, shall not
work a merger, but shall, at Landlord's option, terminate any existing
subtenancies, or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any such subleases.
13. CONDEMNATION OF PREMISES.
13.1. Total Condemnation. If the entire Premises shall be taken by
Condemnation at any time during the Term, this Lease shall terminate as of the
date transfer of possession is required. All rent shall be paid up to the
Termination, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of
any unexpired portion of the Term.
13.2. Partial Condemnation. If any portion of the Premises is taken by
Condemnation during the Term, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect;
except that in the event a partial taking leaves the Premises unsuitable for
occupation, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective upon
the date transfer of possession is required unless Landlord makes other
arrangements to replace Tenant's space. Landlord and Tenant shall each have the
right to terminate this Lease effective on the date transfer of possession is
required if more than 50% of the total square footage of the Premises taken by
Condemnation. Tenant and Landlord may elect to exercise their respective rights
to Terminate this Lease pursuant to this paragraph by serving written notice to
the other within 30 Days of their receipt of notice of Condemnation, except that
Tenant's notice shall be ineffective if within 10 Days of Tenant's delivery of
notice to Landlord, Landlord serves notice upon Tenant of Landlord's election to
provide alternate space equivalent to that condemned. Tenant shall have the
right to approve such replacement space. All rent and other obligations of
Tenant under this Lease shall be paid up to the date of Termination, and Tenant
shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired portion of
the Term. If this Lease is not cancelled, the Base Monthly Rent after such
partial taking shall be that percentage of the adjusted Base Monthly Rent
provided for by this Lease, equal to the percentage which the square footage of
the untaken part of the Premises immediately after the taking plus such
replacement square footage as Landlord may make available to Tenant bears to the
square footage of the Premises immediately before the taking. Tenant's Pro Rata
Share shall be adjusted to reflect any change in the square footage of the
Premises.
13.3. Award to Tenant. In the event of any Condemnation, Tenant shall have
the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority compensation as may
be separately recoverable by Tenant for loss of business, Tenant's relocation
expenses, fixtures or equipment belonging to Tenant immediately prior to the
Condemnation. The balance of any Condemnation award shall belong to Landlord,
and Tenant shall have no further right to recover from Landlord or the
condemning authority for any additional claims arising out of such taking.
13.4. Waiver of Partial Termination Rights. Tenant waives the provisions of
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130.
14. ENTRY BY LANDLORD.
Tenant shall permit Landlord and its Agents to enter the Premises at all
reasonable times for any of the following purposes: to inspect the Premises; to
make such repairs, alterations or additions to the Premises and/or to any other
portion of the Property as Landlord is obligated or may elect to make; to post
"To Lease" signs for the purposes of reletting during the last 120 Days of the
Term, to show the Premises as part of a prospective lease or sale by Landlord
and/or to post notices of nonresponsibility. Landlord shall have such right of
entry without any rebate of rent to Tenant for any loss of occupancy or quiet
enjoyment of the Premises thereby occasioned. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord shall provide 24 hours advance notice to Tenant of intended entry
except under circumstances of an emergency.
11
<PAGE>
15. LIABILITY LIMITATION AND INDEMNIFICATION.
The provisions of this section 15 supersede every other provision of this Lease
to the extent that they are inconsistent with such other provisions.
15.1. Limitation of Landlord's Liability. Tenant shall not hold Landlord
liable for any amount in excess of insurance coverage maintained by Landlord
pursuant to paragraph 6.3 of this Lease ("Existing Coverage") with respect to
any injury or damage, either proximate or remote, occurring through or caused by
any repairs or Alterations to the Property, unless such injury or damage arises
from Landlord's negligence, willful misconduct, reckless disregard of Landlord's
duties or breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable in excess of
Existing Coverage for any injury or damage occasioned by defective electric
wiring, or the breaking, bursting, stoppage or leaking of any part of the
plumbing, air-conditioning, heating, fire control sprinkler systems or gas,
sewer or steam pipes, unless such injury or damage arises from Landlord's
negligence, willful misconduct or reckless disregard of Landlord's duties or
breach of this Lease.
15.2. Limitation on Enforcement of Judgments. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Lease, and with the exception of a Judgment in Tenant's favor
against Landlord in which there is a finding of actual fraud in the inducement
by Landlord, Tenant and its Agents shall, under all circumstances be absolutely
limited to Landlord's estate in the Property for satisfaction of Tenant and its
Agents' remedies, and/or for the collection of a judgment, court order or
arbitration award requiring the payment of money by Landlord as the result of
any and all judgments, orders and awards relating to or arising out of Tenant
and its Agents occupancy and use of the Property and/or in the event of any
default by Landlord hereunder. No other property or assets of Landlord or its
partners or principals, disclosed or undisclosed, shall be subject to levy,
execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant and its
Agents' remedies under or with respect to this Lease, the relationship of
Landlord and Tenant hereunder, or the use and occupancy of the Property and the
Premises by Tenant and its Agents. Tenant, on behalf of itself and its Agents
expressly waives any and all right to collect or enforce any and all orders,
awards and/or judgments against Landlord in excess of the limitations imposed by
this paragraph. Tenant shall require that each subtenant of Tenant and each
assignee of Tenant agree to be bound by the waiver set forth in this paragraph.
The Landlord's maximum exposure as set forth in this paragraph is cumulative (as
to judgments, awards and orders against Landlord in connection with this Lease,
the relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder, or the use and occupancy of
the Property by Tenant and its Agents). The limits imposed by this paragraph
also apply to any and all duties of indemnity (express and/or implied) owed by
Landlord to Tenant. As used in this paragraph, references to "Landlord" include
all persons and entities who now or hereafter own or may own an interest in
Landlord.
16. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
16.1. Generally. Tenant shall not directly or indirectly assign this Lease
in whole or in part, sublet any part of the Premises, license the use of any
part of the Premises or any business conducted thereon, or encumber or
hypothecate this Lease, without first obtaining Landlord's written consent which
consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold. The sale or other transfer of
shares of stock, partnership interests or other ownership interests in Tenant
resulting in a change in the effective control of Tenant, or any merger,
consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant other than one with a comparable
or greater financial position shall be regarded as an indirect assignment of
Tenant's interest in this Lease. Tenant's request for consent to any assignment,
sublease or other transfer shall be in writing and shall include the following:
(a) the name and legal composition of the proposed transferee; (b) the nature of
the proposed transferee's business to be carried on in the Premises; (c) the
Terms and provisions of the proposed assignment or sublease; and (d) such
financial and other reasonable
12
<PAGE>
information as Landlord may request concerning the proposed transferee or
concerning the proposed assignment or sublease and any transaction contemplated
to occur in connection therewith. Any assignment, subletting, licensing,
encumbering or hypothecating of this Lease without Landlord's prior written
consent shall constitute a default entitling Landlord to exercise all rights and
remedies herein provided. Landlord's consent to any assignment or sublease shall
not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent
assignment or sublease. The prohibition against assignment and subletting
contained in this paragraph includes a prohibition against assignment or
subletting by operation of law. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting
with Landlord's consent, Tenant shall remain fully liable on this Lease and
shall not be released from its obligations hereunder. Without limiting other
reasons or circumstances, Landlord and Tenant agree that it is reasonable for
Landlord to withhold consent to an assignment or sublease, if (i) the financial
strength of the proposed assignee or sublessee is not, in Landlord's reasonable
judgment, commensurate with the obligations of the Lease; (ii) the proposed
assignee's or sublessee's use would, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, be
incompatible with the then current tenants, or use of the rest of the Property;
or (iii) the proposed assignee's or sublessee's use would generate traffic,
parking and/or wear and tear on the Premises or Property materially in excess of
that generated by Tenant's use.
16.2. Tenant's Payments. If Landlord consents to a sublease or assignment,
Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection
with giving such consent. Tenant shall also pay Landlord 50% of all Excess Rent
received by Tenant directly or indirectly in respect of an assignment of this
Lease or sublease of the Premises. As used in this Lease, "Excess Rent" means,
in the case of an assignment, all consideration so received and, in the case of
a sublease, all consideration so received in excess of rents and charges
reserved under this Lease. The assignee or sublessee shall, on assuming Tenant's
obligations under this Lease, become jointly and severally liable to Landlord
for the payment of Landlord's share of Excess Rent.
17. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
17.1. Right to Terminate on Destruction of Premises. Landlord and Tenant
each have the right to terminate this Lease if the Premises or the Building are
damaged to an extent exceeding 50% of the then replacement cost of the Premises
(in the event of damage limited to the Premises) or 33% of the Building (in the
event of damages not limited to the Premises). Landlord shall also have the
right to terminate this Lease if the Premises or the Building are damaged by an
uninsured peril to an extent exceeding 33% of the then replacement cost of the
Premises (in the event of damage limited to the Premises) or 25% of the Building
(in the event of damages not limited to the Premises). If a party elects to
terminate under the provisions of this section, the terminating party shall
deliver written notice to the non-terminating party within 30 Days of the
occurrence of the damage. Tenant shall have a minimum of 30 Days to vacate the
Premises unless they are unsafe for occupancy, in which case, Tenant shall
immediately vacate the Premises.
17.2. Repairs by Landlord. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to
paragraph 17.1, Landlord shall immediately upon receipt of insurance proceeds
paid in connection with such casualty, but no later than 90 Days after the
damage has occurred, proceed to repair the Premises and/or the Building, on the
same plan and design as existed immediately before such damage occurred, subject
to such delays as may be reasonably attributable to governmental restrictions,
failure to obtain materials, labor, or other causes beyond Landlord's control.
Tenant shall pay the cost of repair and replacement of all fixtures, leasehold
improvements, furnishings, merchandise, equipment and Tenant's personal property
not covered by insurance.
17.3. Reduction of Rent During Repairs. Except with respect to damage
caused in whole or in part by Tenant and its Agents, if Tenant is able to
continue to conduct its business during the making of repairs, the Base Monthly
Rent will be equitably reduced in the proportion that the unusable part of the
Premises bears to the whole thereof for the period of repairs. No rent shall be
payable while the Premises are wholly unusable due to casualty damage except for
casualty damage caused in whole or in part by Tenant and its Agents. Tenant
shall remain liable for all rent falling due in the period of repair of damages
caused in whole or in part by Tenant and its Agents.
13
<PAGE>
17.4. Waiver. Tenant waives ss.ss. 1932, subdivision 2, and 1933,
subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of California.
17.5. Landlord's Overriding Right to Terminate. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, if the discounted present value of the Base Monthly Rent
due hereunder for the balance of the Term, using as the discount rate the prime
commercial lending rate in effect at the Bank of America, NT&SA, as of the date
Landlord is to commence repairs pursuant to paragraph 17.2 of this Lease, is
less than the cost of repairing the damage to the Premises, Landlord may, at its
option, terminate this Lease on 10 Days' written notice to Tenant.
18. Hazardous Materials
18.1. Tenant's Obligations.
18.1.1. Restrictions on Hazardous Materials. Tenant and its Agents shall
not cause or permit "Hazardous Material" (as defined below) to be brought upon,
used, handled, disposed of, transported, kept, manufactured, generated or stored
(hereafter collectively "Handled" or "Handling") in, on, about or under the
Property without Landlord's prior written consent.
18.1.2. Applicable Regulations. If any Hazardous Material is Handled in,
on, about or under the Property by Tenant and its Agents, then Tenant shall bear
all financial and other responsibility for ensuring that such material is used,
kept and stored in compliance with all Regulations and Environmental, Health and
Safety Requirements respecting Handling of such Hazardous Material and with the
highest standards prevailing in the industry for the Handling of such Hazardous
Material. Without limiting Tenant's other obligations as set forth in this
Lease, Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, procure, maintain in effect
and comply with all conditions and requirements of any and all permits, licenses
and other governmental and regulatory approvals or authorizations required under
any and all applicable Regulations and Environmental, Health and Safety

all permits, licenses, or other regulatory approvals or authorizations within 5
business Days of receipt thereof.
18.1.3. Restoration. If, as a result of actions caused or permitted by
Tenant and its Agents, the presence of Hazardous Material in, on, about or under
the Property or any adjoining property, existing during the Term of this Lease
and/or subsequent to the Term of this Lease results in any contamination of the
Property or the surrounding environment; Tenant shall promptly take all actions
at its sole cost and expense as are necessary to return the Property and/or the
other affected property to the condition existing prior to such contamination
("Restoration"); provided, however, that Tenant shall not undertake any
Restoration respecting the Property without first providing Landlord with
written notice thereof and obtaining Landlord's approval. Tenant shall carry out
any approved Restoration in a manner which complies with all Environmental,
Health and Safety Requirements. Tenant shall not undertake any Restoration, nor
enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree or other compromise with
respect to any claims, relating to any Hazardous Material in any way connected
with the Property without first notifying Landlord of Tenant's intention to do
so and affording Landlord ample opportunity to appear, intervene or otherwise
appropriately assert and protect Landlord's interests.
18.1.4. Removal. Upon Termination, Tenant shall cause to be removed from
the Property all Hazardous Material existing in, on, about or under the Property
Handled by Tenant and its Agents and shall cause such Hazardous Material to be
stored, treated, transported and/or disposed of in compliance with all
applicable Regulations and Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements. Any
Hazardous Material which Tenant causes to be removed from the Property shall be
removed solely by duly licensed haulers and transported to and disposed of at
duly licensed facilities for the final disposal of such Hazardous Material.
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of any and all manifests and other
documentation relating to the Handling of any Hazardous Material reflecting the
legal and proper removal, storage, treatment, transportation and/or disposal
thereof. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair any and all damage
to the Property resulting from Tenant and its Agents removal of such Hazardous
Material. Tenant's obligation to pay rent shall continue until Tenant completes
such removal and effects such repairs.
14
<PAGE>
18.1.5. Tenant's Written Confirmation. Tenant shall, from time to time
throughout the Term, execute such affidavits, certificates or other documents as
Landlord may request concerning Tenant's best knowledge and belief regarding the
presence of Hazardous Material in, on, about or under the Property. Further,
each year throughout the Term on the anniversary of the Commencement Date,
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a letter stating that during the preceding year
Tenant has complied with the provisions of this Section 18 or, if Tenant has not
so complied, a letter setting forth the details of noncompliance.
18.1.6. Tenant's Duty to Notify Landlord. Tenant shall notify Landlord in
writing immediately on becoming aware of: (1) any enforcement, cleanup,

any complaints, notices or asserted violations in connection therewith Further,
Tenant shall also supply to Landlord as promptly as possible, and in any event
within five Days after Tenant first receives or sends the same, copies of all
claims, reports, complaints, notices, warnings, asserted violations or other
documents relating in any way to the foregoing.
18.2. Landlord's Rights. Landlord and its Agents and representatives shall
have the right to communicate, verbally or in writing, with any governmental or
regulatory agency or any environmental consultant on any matter with respect to
the Property relating to Hazardous Material. Landlord shall be entitled to
copies of any and all notices, inspection reports or other documents issued by
or to any such governmental or regulator agency or consultant with respect to
the Property relating to Hazardous Material.
18.3. Tenant's Duty to Indemnify. If the Handling by Tenant and its Agents
of Hazardous Material on or about the Premises results in contamination of the
Property and/or the surrounding environment, or if any lender or governmental
agency requires an investigation to determine whether there has been any
contamination of the Property or any adjoining property as a result of such use
or storage of Hazardous Material by Tenant and its Agents, then Tenant shall
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord all partners or other affiliates of
Landlord, and all directors, officers, shareholders, employees, Agents,
contractors, attorneys and/or partners of any of the foregoing harmless from any
and all claims, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities and losses

or after the Term as a result of such contamination. Tenant's indemnification of
Landlord includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with removal
or Restoration required by any governmental or regulatory agency and/or private
persons because of the presence of Hazardous Material in the soil or groundwater
in, on, about or under the Property or any adjoining property as a result of the
acts of Tenant and its Agents and any and all legal fees and expenses incurred
by Landlord with respect to such claims, demands, investigations and responses.
18.4. Right of Entry. If contamination of the Property by Hazardous
Material occurs or if any lender or governmental agency requires an
investigation to determine whether there has been any contamination of the
Property or any adjoining property, then Landlord and its Agents shall have the
right, at any reasonable time and from time to time to enter upon the Property
to perform monitoring, testing or other analyses, and to review all applicable
documents, notices, correspondence or other materials. If contamination resulted
from the conduct of Tenant and its Agents, Tenant shall pay all costs and
expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with such investigation,
monitoring, and testing. Such sums shall be due and payable by Tenant when

conjunction with any aspect of this transaction. Tenant understands that this

amendment to this Lease which amendment modifies the terms of this Lease by
incorporation of the NLI Space and adjustment of the square footage of the
Premises to reflect the additional space. Pursuant to the provisions of this
Lease, such modification of the square footage of the Premises will also cause
the Lease to be amended to reflect the additional square footage in the
calculation of the Pro Rata Share and the Base Monthly Rent. Tenant shall occupy
the NLI Space incorporated through the Election Notice under the same terms and
conditions as are in force under the provisions of this Lease for the remainder
of the Term. Landlord shall have no obligation to make any alterations or
modifications or improvements to the NLI Space.

FBO Gomez Family Trust(herein called "Lessor") and XOMA Corp.
2910 Seventh St, Berkeley, Ca. 94710 (herein called "Lessee").
2. Premises. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee leases from Lessor for
the term, at the rental, and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, that
certain real property situated in the County of Los Angeles State of Ca.,
commonly known as 1701 Colorado and 1553 - 17th St. Santa Monica, Ca. 90404 and
described as two separate adjacent Brick buildings consisting of approximately
7500 sq. ft. and 2500 sq. ft. with a total of approximately 18 cars, of parking
area. Said real property including the land and all improvements therein, is
herein called "the Premises".
3. Term.
3.1 Term. The term of this Lease shall be for Three years (36) months
commencing on January 1, 1993 and ending on December 31, 1995 unless sooner
terminated pursuant to any provision hereof. See ADDENDUM #2, Option Period: #50
3.2 Delay in Possession. Notwithstanding said commencement date, if for
any reason Lessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee on said
date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such
failure affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Lessee hereunder
or extend the term hereof, but in such case, Lessee shall not be obligated to
pay rent until possession of the Premises is tendered to Lessee; provided,
however, that if Lessor shall not have delivered possession of the Premises
within sixty (60) days from said commencement date, Lessee may, at Lessee's
option, by notice in writing to Lessor within ten (10) days thereafter, cancel
this Lease, in which event the parties shall be discharged from all obligations
hereunder; provided further, however, that if such written notice of Lessee is
not received by Lessor within said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel
this Lease hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
3.3 Early Possession. If Lessee occupies the Premises prior to said
commencement date, such occupancy shall be subject to all provisions hereof,
such occupancy shall not advance the termination date, and Lessee shall pay rent
for such period at the initial monthly rates set forth below.
4. Rent. See additional rent schedule. Lessee shall pay Lessor upon the
execution hereof $11,500.00 as rent for Feb, 1993. See additional rent schedule
ADDENDUM paragraph #48. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for
less than one month shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment. Rent
shall be payable in lawful money of the United States to Lessor at the address
stated herein or to such other persons or at such other places as Lessor may
designate in writing.
5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof (See
Paragraph #49) as security for Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's
obligations hereunder. If Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due
hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease,
Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said deposit for the
payment of any rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other
sum to which Lessor may become obligated by reason of Lessee's default, or to
compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor may suffer thereby. If
Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, Lessee shall
within ten (10) days after written demand therefor deposit cash with Lessor in
an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full amount hereinabove
stated and Lessee's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease.
If the monthly rent shall, from time to time, increase during the term of this
Lease, Lessee shall thereupon deposit with Lessor additional security deposit so
that the amount of security deposit held by Lessor shall at all times bear the
same proportion to current rent as the original security deposit bears the
original monthly rent set forth in paragraph 4 hereof. Lessor shall not be
required to keep said deposit separate from its general accounts. If Lessee
performs all of Lessee's obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof
as has not theretofore been applied by Lessor, shall be returned, without
payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Lessee (or, at Lessor's
option, to that last assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest hereunder) at the
expiration of the term hereof, and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. No
trust relationship is created herein between Lessor and Lessee with respect to
said Security Deposit.
6. Use.
6.1 Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for research,
light manufacturing, laboratories and offices and all other lawful uses or any
other use which is reasonably comparable and for no other purpose.
6.2 Compliance with Law.
(a) Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in its state
existing on the date that the Lease term commences, but without regard to the
use for which Lessee will use the Premises, does not violate any covenants or
restrictions of record, or any applicable building code, regulation or ordinance
in effect on such Lease term commencement date. In the event it is determined
that this warranty has been violated, then it shall be the obligation of the
Lessor, after written notice from Lessee, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost and
expense, rectify any such violation. In the event Lessee does not give to Lessor
written notice of the violation of this warranty within six months from the date
that the Lease term commences, the correction of same shall be the obligation of
the Lessee at Lessee's sole cost. The warranty contained in this paragraph 6.2
(a) shall be of no force or effect if, prior to the date of this Lease, Lessee
was the owner or occupant of the Premises, and, in such event, Lessee shall
correct any such violation at Lessee's sole cost.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a), Lessee shall, at
Lessee's expense, comply promptly with all applicable statutes, ordinances,
rules, regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and
requirements in effect during the term or any part of the term hereof,
regulating the use by Lessee of the Premises. Lessee shall not use nor permit
the use of the Premises in any manner that will tend to create waste or a
nuisance or, if there shall be more than one tenant in the building containing
the Premises, shall tend to disturb such other tenants.
6.3 Condition of Premises
(a) Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee clean and free
of debris on Lease commencement date (unless Lessee is already in possession)
and Lessor further warrants to Lessee that the plumbing, lighting, air
conditioning, heating, and loading doors in the Premises shall be in good
operating condition on the Lease commencement date. In the event that it is
determined that this warranty has been violated, then it shall be the obligation
of Lessor, after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with
specificity the nature of the violation, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost,
rectify such violation. Lessee's failure to give such written notice to Lessor
within thirty (30) days after the Lease commencement date shall cause the
conclusive presumption that Lessor has complied with all of Lessor's obligations
hereunder. The warranty contained in this paragraph 6.3(a) shall be of no force
or effect if prior to the date of this Lease, Lessee was the owner or occupant
of the Premises.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby
accepts the Premises in their condition existing as of the Lease commencement
date or the date that Lessee takes possession of the Premises, whichever is
earlier, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and state laws,
ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the use of the Premises, and
any covenants or restrictions of record, and accepts this Lease subject thereto
and to all matters disclosed thereby and by any exhibits attached hereto. Lessee
acknowledges that neither Lessor nor Lessor's agent has made any representation
or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the Premises for the
conduct of Lessee's business.
7. Maintenance, Repairs and Alterations.
7.1 Lessee's Obligations. Lessee shall keep in good order, condition
and repair the Premises and every part thereof, structural and non structural,
(whether or not such portion of the Premises requiring repair, or the means of
repairing the same are reasonably or readily accessible to Lessee, and whether
or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Lessee's use, any prior
use, the elements or the age of such portion of the Premises) including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, all plumbing, heating, air
conditioning, (Lessee shall procure and maintain, at Lessee's expense, an air
conditioning system maintenance contract) ventilating, electrical, lighting
facilities and equipment within the Premises, fixtures, walls (interior and
exterior), ceilings, roofs (interior and exterior), floors, windows, doors,
plate glass and skylights located within the Premises, and all landscaping,
driveways, parking lots, fences and signs located on the Premises and sidewalks
and parkways adjacent to the Premises.
7.2 Surrender. On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner
termination, Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in the same condition
as when received, ordinary wear and tear excepted, clean and free of debris.
Lessee shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned

/s/RBG
<PAGE>
by the installation or removal of Lessee's trade fixtures, furnishings and
equipment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary otherwise stated in this
Lease, Lessee shall leave the air lines, power panels, electrical distribution
systems, lighting fixtures, space heaters, air conditioning, plumbing and
fencing on the premises in good operating condition.
7.3 Lessor's Rights. If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's obligations
under this Paragraph 7, or under any other paragraph of this Lease, Lessor may
at its option (but shall not be required to) enter upon the Premises after ten
(10) days' prior written notice to Lessee (except in the case of an emergency,
in which case no notice shall be required), perform such obligations on Lessee's
behalf and put the same in good order, condition and repair, and the cost
thereof together with interest thereon at the maximum rate then allowable by law
shall become due and payable as additional rental to Lessor together with
Lessee's next rental installment.
7.4 Lessor's Obligations. Except for the obligations of Lessor under
Paragraph 6.2(a) and 6.3(a) (relating to Lessor's warranty), Paragraph 9
(relating to destruction of the Premises) and under Paragraph 14 (relating to
condemnation of the Premises), it is intended by the parties hereto that Lessor
have no obligation, in any manner whatsoever, to repair and maintain the
Premises nor the building located thereon nor the equipment therein, whether
structural or non structural, all of which obligations are intended to be that
of the Lessee under Paragraph 7.1 hereof. Lessee expressly waives the benefit of
any statute now or hereinafter in effect which would otherwise afford Lessee the
right to make repairs at Lessor's expense or to terminate this Lease because of
Lessor's failure to keep the premises in good order, condition and repair.
7.5 Alterations and Additions
(a) Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent
make any alterations, improvements, additions, or Utility installations in, on
or about the Premises, except for nonstructural alterations not exceeding
$20,000.00 in cumulative costs during the term of this Lease. In any event,
whether or not in excess of $20,000.00 in cumulative cost, Lessee shall make no
change or alteration to the exterior of the Premises nor the exterior of the
building(s) on the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. As used in
this Paragraph 7.5 the term "Utility Installation" shall mean carpeting, window
coverings, air lines, power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting
fixtures, space heaters, air conditioning, plumbing, and fencing. Lessor may
require that Lessee remove any or all of said alterations, improvements,
additions or Utility Installations at the expiration of the term, and restore
the Premises to their prior condition. Lessor may require Lessee to provide
Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an
amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such improvements,
to insure Lessor against any liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens
and to insure completion of the work. Should Lessee make any alterations,
improvements, additions or Utility Installations without the prior approval of
Lessor, Lessor may require that Lessee remove any or all of the same.
(b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations
in, or about the Premises that Lessee shall desire to make and which requires
the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to Lessor in written form, with
proposed detailed plans. If Lessor shall give its consent, the consent shall be
deemed conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from appropriate
governmental agencies, the furnishing of a copy thereof to Lessor prior to the
commencement of the work and the compliance by Lessee of all conditions of said
permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.
(c) Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials
furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for use in
the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanics' or
materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein. Lessee shall
give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the commencement of any
work in the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post notices of
non-responsibility in or on the Premises as provided by law. If Lessee shall, in
good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee
shall, at its sole expense defend itself and Lessor against the same and shall
pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before
the enforcement thereof against the Lessor or the Premises, upon the condition
that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety bond
satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to such contested lien claim or demand
indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same and holding the Premises free
from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require Lessee to
pay Lessor's attorneys fees and costs in participating in such action if Lessor
shall decide it is to its best interest to do so.
(d) Unless Lessor requires their removal, as set forth in Paragraph
7.5(a), all alterations, improvements, additions and Utility Installations
(whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade fixtures of Lessee),
which may be made on the Premises, shall become the property of Lessor and
remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the term.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 7.5(d), Lessee's machinery and
equipment, other than that which is affixed to the Premises so that it cannot be
removed without material damage to the Premises, shall remain the property of
Lessee and may be removed by Lessee subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7.2,
or can be removed and building returned to its initial state.
8. Insurance Indemnity.
8.1 Insuring Party. As used in this Paragraph 8, the term "Insuring
party" shall mean the party who has the obligation to obtain the Property
Insurance required hereunder. The insuring party shall be designated in
Paragraph 46 hereof. In the event Lessor is the insuring party, Lessor shall
also maintain the liability insurance described in paragraph 8.2 hereof, in
addition to, and not in lieu of, the insurance required to be maintained by
Lessee under said paragraph 8.2, but Lessor shall not be required to name Lessee
as an additional insured on such policy. Whether the insuring party is the
Lessor or the Lessee, Lessee shall, as additional rent for the Premises, pay the
cost of all insurance required hereunder, except for that portion of the cost
attributable to Lessor's liability insurance coverage in excess of $1,000,000
per occurrence. If Lessor is the insuring party Lessee shall, within ten (10)
days following demand by Lessor, reimburse Lessor for the cost of the insurance
so obtained.
8.2 Liability Insurance. Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense obtain and
keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of Combined Single Limit,
Bodily Injury and Property Damage insurance insuring Lessor and Lessee against
any liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the
Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be a combined
single limit policy in an amount not less than $500,000 per occurrence. The
policy shall insure performance by Lessee of the indemnity provisions of this
Paragraph 8. The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the
liability of Lessee hereunder.
8.3 Property Insurance.
(a) The insuring party shall obtain and keep in force during
the term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage
to the Premises, in the amount of the full replacement value thereof, as the
same may exist from time to time, which replacement value is now $999,000.00,
but in no event less than the total amount required by lenders having liens on
the Premises, against all perils included within the classification of fire,
extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, flood (in the event same is
required by a lender having a lien on the Premises), and special extended perils
("all risk" as such term is used in the insurance industry) Excluding in any
event earthquake Insurance, said insurance shall provide for payment of loss
thereunder to Lessor or to the holders of mortgages or deeds of trust on the
Premises. The insuring party shall, in addition, obtain and keep in force during
the term of this Lease a policy of rental value insurance covering a period of
one year, with loss payable to Lessor, which insurance shall also cover all real
estate taxes and insurance costs for said period. A stipulated value or agreed
amount endorsement deleting the coinsurance provision of the policy shall be
procured with said insurance. If the insuring party shall fail to procure and
maintain said insurance the other party may, but shall not be required to,
procure and maintain the same, but at the expense of Lessee. If such insurance
coverage has a deductible clause, the deductible amount shall not exceed
$5,000.00 per occurrence, and Lessee shall be liable for such deductible amount.
(b) If the Premises are part of a larger building, or if the
Premises are part of a group of buildings owned by Lessor which are adjacent to
the Premises, then Lessee shall pay for any increase in the property insurance
of such other building or buildings if said increase is caused by Lessee's acts,
omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.
(c) If the Lessor is the insuring party the Lessor will not
insure Lessee's fixtures, equipment or tenant improvements unless the tenant
improvements have become a part of the Premises under paragraph 7, hereof. But
if Lessee is the insuring party the Lessee shall insure its fixtures, equipment
and tenant improvements.
8.4 Insurance Policies. Insurance required hereunder shall be in
companies holding a "General Policyholders Rating" of at least B plus, or such
other rating as may be required by a lender having a lien on the Premises, as
set forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide". The insuring
party shall deliver to the other party copies of policies of such insurance or
certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance with loss
payable clauses as required by this paragraph 8. No such policy shall be
cancellable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except
after thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lessor. If Lessee is the
insuring party Lessee shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
of such policies, furnish Lessor with renewals or "binders" thereof, or Lessor
may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which amount
shall be payable by Lessee upon demand. Lessee shall not do or permit to be done
anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies referred to in Paragraph
8.3. If Lessee does or permits to be done anything which shall increase the cost
of the insurance policies referred to in Paragraph 8.3, then Lessee shall
forthwith upon Lessor's demand reimburse Lessor for any additional premiums
attributable to any act or omission or operation of Lessee causing such increase
in the cost of insurance. If Lessor is the insuring party, and if the insurance
policies maintained hereunder cover other improvements in addition to the
Premises, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a written statement setting forth the
amount of any such insurance cost increase and showing in reasonable detail the
manner in which it has been computed.
8.5 Waiver of Subrogation. Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and
relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery against the other
for loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils insured against
under paragraph 8.3, which perils occur in, on or about the Premises, whether
due to the negligence of Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees,
contractors and/or invitees. Lessee and Lessor shall, upon obtaining the
policies of insurance required hereunder, give notice to the insurance carrier
or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this
Lease.
8.6 Indemnity. Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and
against any and all claims arising from Lessee's use of the Premises, or from
the conduct of Lessee's business or from any activity, work or things done,
permitted or suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises or elsewhere and shall
further indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all claims
arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on
Lessee's part of be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any
negligence of the Lessee, or any of Lessee's agents, contractors, or employees,
and from and against all costs, attorney's fees, expenses and liabilities
incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought
thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be brought against Lessor by
reason of any such claim, Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall defend the same
at Lessee's expense by counsel satisfactory to Lessor.
8.7 Exemption of Lessor from Liability. Lessee hereby agrees that
Lessor shall not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of income
therefrom or for damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other property of
Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about
the Premises, nor shall Lessor be liable for injury to the person of Lessee,
Lessee's employees, agents or contractors whether such damage or injury is
caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from
the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other
cause, except for Lessor's negligence or breach if its warranties, whether the
said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon
other portions of the building of which the Premises are a part, or from other
sources or places and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury
or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to Lessee. Lessor shall not
be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant,
if any, of the building in which the Premises are located.

9.2 Partial Damage - Insured Loss. Subject to the provisions of
paragraphs 9.4, 9.5 and 9.6, if at any time during the term of this Lease there
is damage which is an insured Loss and which falls into the classification of
Premises Partial Damage or Premises Building Partial Damage, then Lessor shall,
at Lessor's expense, repair such damage, but not Lessee's fixtures, equipment or
tenant improvements unless the same have become a part of the Premises pursuant
to Paragraph 7.5 hereof as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. Lessor shall make such repairs as soon as
reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
9.3 Partial Damage - Uninsured Loss. Subject to the provisions of
Paragraphs 9.4, 9.5 and 9.6, if at any time during the term of this Lease there

a negligent or willful act of Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the

this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) give written notice
to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence of such
damage of Lessor's intention to cancel and terminate this Lease, as of the date
of the occurrence of such damage. In the event Lessor elects to give such notice
of Lessor's intention to cancel and terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the
right within ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice to give written
notice to Lessor of Lessee's intention to repair such damage at Lessee's
expense, without reimbursement from Lessor, in which event this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, and Lessee shall proceed to make such repairs
as soon as reasonably possible. If Lessee does not give such notice within such
10-day period this Lease shall be cancelled and terminated as of the date of the
occurrence of such damage.
9.4 Total Destruction. If at any time during the term of this Lease
there is damage, whether or not an Insured Loss, (including destruction required

Premises Total Destruction or Premises Building Total Destruction, this Lease
shall automatically terminate as of the date of such total destruction.
9.5 Damage Near End of Term
(a) If at any time during the last six months of the term of

period, then Lessor may at Lessor's option terminate and cancel this Lease as of
the expiration of said 20 day period by giving written notice to Lessee of
Lessor's election to do so within 10 days after the expiration of said 20 day
period, notwithstanding any term or provision in the grant of option to the
contrary.
9.6 Abatement of Rent; Lessee's Remedies
(a) In the event of damage described in paragraphs 9.2 or 9.3,
and Lessor or Lessee repairs or restores the Premises pursuant to the provisions
of this Paragraph 9, the rent payable hereunder for the period during which such
damage, repair or restoration continues shall be abated in proportion to the
degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired. Except for abatement
of rent, if any, Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for any damage
suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair or restoration.
(b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the
Premises under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence such
repair or restoration within 90 days after such obligations shall accrue, Lessee
may at Lessee's option cancel and terminate this Lease by giving Lessor written
notice of Lessee's election to do so at any time prior to the commencement of
such repair or restoration. In such event this Lease shall terminate as of the
date of such notice.
9.7 Termination - Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning
advance rent and any advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall, in
addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee's security deposit as has not
theretofore been applied by Lessor.
9.8 Waiver. Lessor and Lessee waive the provisions of any statutes
which relate to termination of leases when leased property is destroyed and
agree that such event shall be governed by the terms of this Lease.
10. Real Property Taxes.
10.1 Payment of Taxes. Lessee shall pay the real property tax, as
defined in paragraph 10.2, applicable to the Premises during the term of this
Lease. All such payments shall be made at least ten (10) days prior to the
delinquency date of such payment. Lessee shall promptly furnish Lessor with
satisfactory evidence that such taxes have been paid. If any such taxes paid by
Lessee shall cover any period of time prior to or after the expiration of the
term hereof, Lessee's share of such taxes shall be equitably prorated to cover
only the period of time within the tax fiscal year during which this Lease shall
be in effect, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee to the extent required. If
Lessee shall fail to pay any such taxes, Lessor shall have the right to pay the
same, in which case Lessee shall repay such amount to Lessor with Lessee's next
rent installment together with interest at the maximum rate then allowable by
law.
10.2 Definition of "Real Property Tax". As used herein, the term "real
property tax" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment, general,
special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial rental tax,
improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income
or estate taxes) imposed on the Premises by any authority having the direct or
indirect power to tax, including any city, state or federal government, or any
school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street, drainage or other improvement
district thereof, as against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the
Premises or in the real property of which the Premises are a part, as against
Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom, and as against Lessor's
business of leasing the Premises. The term "real property tax" shall also
include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge (i) in substitution of,
partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge hereinabove
included within the definition of "real property tax," or (ii) the nature of
which was hereinbefore included within the definition of "real property tax," or
(iii) which is imposed for a service or right not charged prior to June 1, 1978,
or, if previously charged, has been increased since June 1, 1978, or (iv) which
is imposed by reason of this transaction, any modifications or changes hereto or
any transfers hereof.
10.3 Joint Assessment. If the Premises are not separately assessed,
Lessee's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the real property taxes
for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed,
such proportion to be determined by Lessor from the respective valuations
assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information as may be
reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination thereof, in good faith,
shall be conclusive.
10.4 Personal Property Taxes.
(a) Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed
against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other
personal property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When
possible, Lessee shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all
other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real
property of Lessor.
(b) If any of Lessee's said personal property shall be
assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes
attributable to Lessee within 10 days after receipt of a written statement
setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee's property.
11. Utilities. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together
with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered to
Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion to be determined by Lessor of
all charges jointly metered with other premises.
12. Assignment and Subletting.
12.1 Lessor's Consent Required. Lessee shall not voluntarily or by
operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or
encumber all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises,
without Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably
withhold. Lessor shall respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder in a
timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or
subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a breach of
this Lease.
12.2 Lessee Affiliate. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 12.1
hereof, Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof,
without Lessor's consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or
is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the
merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires
all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being
conducted on the Premises, provided that said assignee assumes, in full, the
obligations of Lessee under this Lease. Any such assignment shall not, in any
way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee under the terms of this Lease even
if after such assignment or subletting the terms of this Lease are materially
changed or altered without the consent of Lessee, the consent of whom shall not
be necessary.
12.3 No Release of Lessee. Regardless of Lessor's consent, no
subletting or assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligation or alter
the primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent and to perform all other
obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of rent by
Lessor from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of any
provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed
consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of default by
any assignee of Lessee or any successor of Lessee, in the performance of any of
the terms hereof, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee without the
necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee. Lessor may consent to
subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease or amendments or
modifications to this Lease with assignees
Initials: /s/CLD
/s/RBG
-3-
<PAGE>
of Lessee, without notifying Lessee, or any successor of Lessee, and without
obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Lessee
of liability under this Lease.
12.4 Attorney's Fees. In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the
Premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or if
Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do
then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys fees incurred in connection
therewith, such attorneys fees not to exceed $350.00 for each such request.
13. Defaults; Remedies.
13.1 Defaults. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Lessee:
(a) The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee.
(b) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any
other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where
such failure shall continue for a period of three days after written notice
thereof from Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a
Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes
such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice required by
this subparagraph.
(c) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by
Lessee, other than described in paragraph (b) above, where such failure shall
continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof from Lessor to
Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's default is such that
more than 30 days are reasonably required for its cure, then Lessee shall not be
deemed to be in default if Lessee commenced such cure within said 30-day period
and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
(d) (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becomes a "debtor" as
defined in 11 U.S.C. 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case
of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within 60 days); (iii)
the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all
of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this
Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within 30 days; or (iv) the
attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's
assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within 30 days. Provided, however, in the event that
any provision of this paragraph 13.1(d) is contrary to any applicable law, such
provision shall be of no force or effect.
(e) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given
to Lessor by Lessee, any assignee of Lessee, any subtenant of Lessee, any
successor in interest of Lessee or any guarantor of Lessee's obligation
hereunder, and any of them, was materially false.
13.2 Remedies. In the event of any such material default or breach by
Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and
without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may
have by reason of such default or breach:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by
any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall
immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event Lessor
shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by Lessor by
reason of Lessee's default including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises; expenses of reletting, including necessary
renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorney's fees, and any
real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by the
court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the
balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided;
that portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 15
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.
(b) Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case this
Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have abandoned the
Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor's
rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as
it becomes due hereunder.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to
Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises
are located. Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations
of Lessee under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at
the maximum rate then allowable by law.
13.3 Default by Lessor. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor
fails to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in
no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor
and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises
whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Lessee in
writing, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation;
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more
than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Lessor shall not be in
default if Lessor commences performance within such 30-day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes the same to completion.
13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be
extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to,
processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on
Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall
not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such
amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount. The
parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee.
Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver
of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event
that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3)
consecutive installments of rent, then rent shall automatically become due and
payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly, notwithstanding paragraph 4
or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary.
13.5 Impounds. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder,
whether or not collected, for three (3) installments of rent or any other
monetary obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor, if Lessor shall so request, in addition to any other payments required
under this Lease, a monthly advance installment, payable at the same time as the
monthly rent, as estimated by Lessor, for real property tax and insurance
expenses on the Premises which are payable by Lessee under the terms of this
Lease. Such fund shall be established to insure payment when due, before
delinquency, of any or all such real property taxes and insurance premiums. If
the amounts paid to Lessor by Lessee under the provisions of this paragraph are
insufficient to discharge the obligations of Lessee to pay such real property
taxes and insurance premiums as the same become due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor,
upon Lessor's demand, such additional sums necessary to pay such obligations.
All moneys paid to Lessor under this paragraph may be intermingled with other
moneys of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In the event of a default in the
obligations of Lessee to perform under this Lease, then any balance remaining
from funds paid to Lessor under the provisions of this paragraph may, at the
option of Lessor, be applied to the payment of any monetary default of Lessee in
lieu of being applied to the payment of real property tax and insurance
premiums.
14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the
power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power
(all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as
to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever first occurs. If more than 10% of the floor area of the
building on the Premises, or more than 25% of the land area of the Premises
which is not occupied by any building, is taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at
Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing only within ten (10) days after
Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence
of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority shall have
taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority
takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance
with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the
portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent shall be reduced in the
proportion that the floor area of the building taken bears to the total floor
area of the building situated on the Premises. No reduction of rent shall occur
if the only area taken is that which does not have a building located thereon.
Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the power of
eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power
shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as
compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the
fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled
to any award for loss of or damage to Lessee's trade fixtures and removable
personal property. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of
such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages received by
Lessor in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises
caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed
therefor by the condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of
such severance damages required to complete such repair.
15. Broker's Fee.
(a) Upon execution of this Lease by both parties, Lessor shall
pay to (blank) Licensed real estate broker(s) a fee as set forth in a separate
agreement between Lessor and said broker(s), or in the event there is no
separate agreement between Lessor and said broker(s), the sum of $(blank), for
brokerage services rendered by said broker(s) to Lessor in this transaction.
(b) Lessor further agrees that if Lessee exercises any Option
as defined in paragraph 39.1 of this Lease, which is granted to Lessee under
this Lease, or any subsequently granted option which is substantially similar to
an Option granted to Lessee under this Lease, or if Lessee acquires any rights
to the Premises or other premises described in this Lease which are
substantially similar to what Lessee would have acquired had an Option herein
granted to Lessee been exercised, or if Lessee remains in possession of the
Premises after the expiration of the term of this Lease after having failed to
exercise an Option, or if said broker(s) are the procuring cause of any other
lease or sale entered into between the parties pertaining to the Premises and/or
any adjacent property in which Lessor has an interest, then as to any of said
transactions, Lessor shall pay said broker(s) a fee in accordance with the
schedule of said broker(s) in effect at the time of execution of this Lease.
(c) Lessor agrees to pay said fee not only on behalf of Lessor
but also on behalf of any person, corporation, association, or other entity
having an ownership interest in said real property or any part thereof, when
such fee is due hereunder. Any transferee of Lessor's interest in this Lease,
whether such transfer is by agreement or by operation of law, shall be deemed to
have assumed Lessor's obligation under this Paragraph 15. Said broker shall be a
third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Paragraph 15.
16. Estoppel Certificate.
(a) Lessee shall at any time upon not less than ten (10) days' prior
written notice from Lessor execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a
statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full
force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and
certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the
date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (ii)
acknowledging that there are not, to Lessee's knowledge, any uncured defaults on
the part of Lessor hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed.
Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser
or encumbrancer of the Premises.
(b) At Lessor's option, Lessee's failure to deliver such statement
within such time shall be a material breach of this Lease or shall be
Initials: /s/CLD
/s/RBG
-4-
<PAGE>
conclusive upon Lessee (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Lessor, (ii) that there are no
uncured defaults in Lessor's performance, and (iii) that not more than one
month's rent has been paid in advance or such failure may be considered by
Lessor as a default by Lessee under this Lease.
(c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, or
any part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or purchaser
designated by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee as may be reasonably
required by such lender or purchaser. Such statements shall include the past
three years' financial statements of Lessee. All such financial statements shall
be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be
used only for the purposes herein set forth.
17. (Deleted)
18. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any
other provision hereof.
19. Interest on Past-due Obligations. Except as expressly herein provided, any
amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum rate
then allowable by law from the date due. Payment of such interest shall not
excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease, provided, however, that
interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee nor on any
amounts upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.
20. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence.
21. Additional Rent. Any monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the
terms of this Lease shall be deemed to be rent.
22. Incorporation of Prior Agreements; Amendments. This Lease contains all
agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No prior
agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective.
This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties in interest at
the time of the modification. Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee
hereby acknowledges that neither the real estate broker listed in Paragraph 15
hereof nor any cooperating broker on this transaction nor the Lessor or any
employees or agents of any of said persons has made any oral or written
warranties or representations to Lessee relative to the condition or use by
Lessee of said Premises and Lessee acknowledges that Lessee assumes all
responsibility regarding the Occupational Safety Health Act, the legal use and
adaptability of the Premises and the compliance thereof with all applicable laws
and regulations in effect during the term of this Lease except as otherwise
specifically stated in this Lease.
23. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and may be given by personal delivery or by certified mail, and if given
personally or by mail, shall be deemed sufficiently given if addressed to Lessee
or to Lessor at the address noted below the signature of the respective parties,
as the case may be. Either party may by notice to the other specify a different
address for notice purposes except that upon Lessee's taking possession of the
Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee's address for notice purposes. A
copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall
be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor
may from time to time hereafter designate by notice to Lessee.
24. Waivers. No waiver by Lessor or any provision hereof shall be deemed a
waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of
the same or any other provision. Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act
shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to
or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by
Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision
hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted,
regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of
acceptance of such rent.
25. Recording. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a "short form" memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes.
26. Holding Over. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession of the
Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof, such
occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the provisions of this
Lease pertaining to the obligations of Lessee, but all options and rights of
first refusal, if any, granted under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed
terminated and be of no further effect during said month to month tenancy.
27. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.
28. Covenants and Conditions. Each provision of this Lease performable by Lessee
shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.
29. Binding Effect; Choice of Law. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting
assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provisions of Paragraph
17, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal representatives,
successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State
wherein the Premises are located.
30. Subordination.
(a) This Lease, at Lessor's option, shall be subordinate to any ground
lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or security now or
hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part and to
any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Notwithstanding such subordination, Lessee's right to quiet possession of the
Premises shall not be disturbed if Lessee is not in default and so long as
Lessee shall pay the rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this
Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms. If any
mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior to the
lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written
notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage,
deed of trust, or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent
to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the date of
recording thereof.
(b) Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an
attornment, a subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be. Lessee's failure to
execute such documents within 10 days after written demand shall constitute a
material default by Lessee hereunder, or, at Lessor's option, Lessor shall
execute such documents on behalf of Lessee as Lessee's attorney-in-fact. Lessee
does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Lessor as Lessee's
attorney-in-fact and in Lessee's name, place and stead, to execute such
documents in accordance with this paragraph 30(b).
31. Attorney's Fees. If either party or the broker named herein brings an action
to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party in
any such action, on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to his reasonable
attorney's fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the court. The
provisions of this paragraph shall inure to the benefit of the broker named
herein who seeks to enforce a right hereunder.
32. Lessor's Access. Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to enter
the Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same, showing
the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
building of which they are a part as Lessor may deem necessary or desirable.
Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Sale"
signs and Lessor may at any time during the last 120 days of the term hereof
place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs, all without
rebate of rent or liability to Lessee.
33. Auctions. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first having
obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard
of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.
34. Signs. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises without Lessor's
prior written consent except that Lessee shall have the right, without the prior
permission of Lessor to place ordinary and usual for rent or sublet signs
thereon.
35. Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a
mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Lessor, shall not work a
merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing
subtenancies or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to Lessor
of any or all of such subtenancies.
36. Consents. Except for paragraph 33 hereof, wherever in this Lease the consent
of one party is required to an act of the other party such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
37. Guarantor. In the event that there is a guarantor of this Lease, said
guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.
38. Quiet Possession. Upon Lessee paying the rent for the Premises and observing
and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Lessee's part
to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee shall have quiet possession of
the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the provisions of this
Lease. The individuals executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor represent and
warrant to Lessee that they are fully authorized and legally capable of
executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor and that such execution is binding upon
all parties holding an ownership interest in the Premises.
39. Options.
39.1 Definition. As used in this paragraph the word "Options" has the
following meaning: (1) the right or option to extend the term of this Lease or
to renew this Lease or to extend or renew any lease that Lessee has on other
property of Lessor; (2) the option or right of first refusal to lease the
Premises or the right of first offer to lease the Premises or the right of first

other property of Lessor; (3) the right or option to purchase the Premises, or
the right of first refusal to purchase the Premises, or the right of first offer

involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than Lessee, provided,

defined in paragraph 12.2 of this Lease. The Options herein granted to Lessee
are not assignable separate and apart from this Lease.
39.3 Multiple Options. In the event that Lessee has any multiple
options to extend or renew this Lease a later option cannot be exercised unless
the prior option to extend or renew this Lease has been so exercised.
39.4 Effect of Default on Options.
(a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option,
notwithstanding any provision in the grant of Option to the contrary, (i) during
the time commencing from the date Lessor gives to Lessee a notice of default
pursuant to paragraph 13.1(b) or 13.1(c) and continuing until the default
alleged in said notice of default is cured, or (ii) during the period of time
commencing on the day after a monetary obligation to Lessor is due from Lessee
and unpaid (without any necessity for notice thereof to Lessee) continuing until
the obligation is paid, or (iii) at any time after an event of default described
in paragraphs 13.1(a), 13.1(d), or 13.1(e) (without any necessity of Lessor to
give notice of such default to Lessee), or (iv) in the event that Lessor has
given to Lessee three or more notices of default under paragraph 13.1(b), where
a late charge has become payable under paragraph 13.4 for each of such defaults,
or paragraph 13.1(c), whether or not the defaults are cured, during the 12 month
period prior to the time that Lessee intends to exercise the subject Option.
(b) The period of time within which an Option may be exercised
shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability to exercise an
Option because of the provisions of paragraph 39.4(a).
(c) All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an Option
shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee's
due and timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and during the
term of this Lease, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary obligation of
Lessee for a period of 30 days after such obligation becomes due (without any
necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof to Lessee), or (ii) Lessee fails to
commence to cure a default specified in paragraph 13.1(c) within 30 days after
the date that Lessor gives notice to Lessee of such default and/or Lessee fails
thereafter to diligently prosecute said cure to completion, or (iii) Lessee
commits a default described in paragraph 13.1(a), 13,1(d) or 13.1 (e) (without
any necessity of Lessor to give notice of such default to Lessee), or (iv)
Lessor gives to Lessee three or more notices of default under paragraph 13.1(b),
where a late charge becomes payable under paragraph 13.4 for each such default,
or paragraph 13.1(c), whether or not the defaults are cured.
40. Multiple Tenant Building. In the event that the Premises are part of a
larger building or group of buildings then Lessee agrees that it will abide by,
keep and observe all reasonable rules and regulations which Lessor may make from
time to time for the management, safety, care, and cleanliness of the building
and grounds, the parking of vehicles and the preservation of good order therein
as well as for the convenience of other occupants and tenants of the building.
The violations of any such rules and regulations shall be deemed a material
breach of this Lease by Lessee.
41. Security Measures. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the rental payable to
Lessor hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security
measures, and that Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide same.
Lessee assumes all responsibility for the protection of Lessee, its agents and
invitees from acts of third parties.

such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems necessary or desirable,

easements, rights, dedications, Maps and restrictions do not unreasonably
interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee shall sign any of the
aforementioned documents upon request of Lessor and failure to do so shall
constitute a material breach of this Lease.

amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other under the provisions
hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall
have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment shall not be
regarded as a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right on the part
of said party to institute suit for recovery of each sum. If it shall be
adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said party to pay
such sum or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover such sum
or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the provisions of
this Lease.

partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such entity
represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver

1. Parties. This Sublease, dated, for reference purposes only, January 20, 1997,
is made by and between UroGenesys, Inc. (herein called "Lessor") and XOMA
Corporation (herein called "Lessee").
2. Premises. Sublessor hereby leases to Sublessee and Sublessee hereby leases
from Sublessor for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the conditions set
forth herein, that certain real property situated in the County of Los Angeles,
State of California, commonly known as 1701 Colorado Ave. & 1553 17th St., Santa
Monica, CA 90404 and described as approximately One Thousand Two Hundred and
Fifty Square Feet (1,1250 square feet) portion of a larger premises only, of a
brick building at the aforementioned address. Said real property including the
land and all improvements therein, is herein called "the Premises".
3. Term.
3.1 Term. The term of this Sublease shall be for 3 years (36) months
commencing on March 1, 1997 and ending on February 29, 2000 unless sooner
terminated pursuant to any provision hereof.
3.2 Delay in Commencement. Notwithstanding said commencement date, if
for any reason Sublessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Sublessee
on said date, Sublessor shall not be subject to any liability therefore, nor
shall such failure affect the validity of this Sublease or the obligations of
Sublessee hereunder or extend the term hereof, but in such case Sublessee shall
not be obligated to pay rent until possession of the Premises is tendered to
Sublessee; provided, however, that if Sublessor shall not have delivered
possession of the Premises within sixty (60) days from said commencement date,
Sublessee may, at Sublessee's option, by notice in writing to Sublessor within
ten (10) days thereafter, cancel this Sublease, in which event the parties shall
be discharged from all obligations thereunder. If Sublessee occupies the
Premises prior to said commencement date, such occupancy shall be subject to all
provisions hereof, such occupancy shall not advance the termination date, and
Sublessee shall pay rent for such period at the initial monthly rates set forth
below.
4. Rent. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor as rent for the Premises equal monthly
payments of $1,437.50, in advance, on the 1st day of each month of the term
hereof. Sublease shall pay Sublessor upon the execution hereof $1,437.50 as rent
for March 1997. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less
than one month shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment. Rent
shall be payable in lawful money of the United States to Sublessor at the
address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other places as
Sublessor may designate in writing.
5. Security Deposit. Sublessee shall deposit with Sublessor upon execution
hereof $NIL as security for Sublessee's faithful performance of Sublessee's
obligations hereunder. If Sublessee fails to pay rent or other charges due
hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Sublease,
Sublessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said deposit for the
payment of any rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other
sum to which Sublessor may become obligated by reason of Sublessee's default, or
to compensate Sublessor for any loss or damage which Sublessor may suffer
thereby. If Sublessor so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit,
Sublessee shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor deposit cash
with Sublessor in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full
amount hereinabove stated and Sublessee's failure to do so shall be a material
breach of this Sublease. If the monthly rent shall, from time to time, increase
during the term of this Sublease, Sublessee shall thereupon deposit with
Sublessor additional security deposit so that the amount of security deposit
held by Sublessor shall at all times bear the same proportion to current rent as
the original security deposit bears the original monthly rent set forth in
paragraph 4 hereof. Sublessor shall not be required to keep said deposit
separate from its general accounts. If Sublessee performs all of Sublessee's
obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore
been applied by Sublessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or
other increment for its use, to Sublessee (or, at Sublessor's option, to that
last assignee, if any, of Sublessee's interest hereunder) at the expiration of
the term hereof, and after Sublessee has vacated the Premises. No trust

2. Premises
2.1 Letting. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases
from Lessor, the Premises, for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the
terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease. Unless otherwise
provided herein, any statement of size set forth in this Lease, or that may have
been used in calculating rental, is an approximation which the Parties agree is
reasonable and the rental based thereon is not subject to revision whether or
not the actual size is more or less.
2.2 Condition. Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee broom clean
and free of debris on the Commencement Date or the Early Possession Date,
whichever first occurs ("Start Date"), and, so long as the required service
contracts described in Paragraph 7.1(b) below are obtained by Lessee within
thirty (30) days following the Start Date, warrants that the exterior roof,
existing electrical, plumbing, fire sprinkler, lighting, heating, ventilating
and air conditioning systems ("HVAC"), loading doors, if any, and all other such
elements in the Premises, other than those constructed by Lessee, shall be in
good operating condition on said date and that the structural elements of the
roof, bearing walls, and foundation of any buildings on the Premises (the
"Building") shall be free of material defects. If a non-compliance with said
warranty exists as of the Start Date, Lessor shall, as Lessor's sole obligation
with respect to such matter, except as otherwise provided in this Lease,
promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with
specificity the nature and extent of such non-compliance, rectify the same at
Lessor's expense. If, after the Start Date, Lessee does not give Lessor written
notice of any non-compliance with this warranty within (i) one year as to the
surface of the roof and the structural portion of the roof foundations and
bearing walls, (ii) six (6) months as to the HVAC systems (iii) one hundred
twenty (120) days as to the remaining systems and other elements of the
Building, correction of such non-compliance shall be the obligation of Lessee at
Lessee's sole cost and expense.
2.3 Compliance. Lessor warrants that the improvements on the Premises
comply with all applicable laws, covenants or restrictions of record, building
codes, regulations and ordinances ("Applicable Requirements") in effect on the
Start Date. Said warranty does not apply to the use to which Lessee will put the
Premises or to any Alterations or Utility Installations (as defined in Paragraph
7.3(a)) made or to be made by Lessee. NOTE: Lessee is responsible for
determining whether or not the zoning is appropriate for Lessee's intended use,
and acknowledges that past uses of the Premises may no longer be allowed. If the
Premises do not comply with said warranty, lessor shall, except as otherwise
provided, promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth
with specificity the nature and extent of such non-compliance, rectify the same
at Lessor's expense. If Lessee does not give Lessor written notice of a
non-compliance with this warranty within six (6) months following the Start
Date, correction of that non-compliance shall be the obligation of Lessee at
Lessee's sole cost and expense. If the Applicable Requirements are hereafter
changed (as opposed to being in existence at the Start Date, which is addressed
in Paragraph 6.2(e) below) so as to require during the term of this Lease the
construction of an addition to or an alteration of the Building, the remediation
of any Hazardous Substance, or the reinforcement or other physical modification
of the Building ("Capital Expenditure"), Lessor and Lessee shall allocate the
cost of such work as follows:
PAGE 1 Initials /s/RBG /s/DBR
<PAGE>
(a) Subject to Paragraph 2.3(c) below, if such Capital
Expenditures are required as a result of the specific and unique use of the
Premises by Lessee as compared with uses by tenants in general, Lessee shall be
fully responsible for the cost thereof, provided, however, that if such Capital
Expenditure is required during the last two (2) years of this Lease and the cost
thereof exceeds six (6) months' Base Rent, Lessee may instead terminate this
Lease unless Lessor notifies Lessee, in writing, within ten (10) days after
receipt of Lessee's termination notice that Lessor has elected to pay the
difference between the actual cost thereof and the amount equal to six (6)
months' Base Rent. If Lessee elects termination, Lessee shall immediately cease
the use of the Premises which requires such Capital Expenditure and deliver to
Lessor written notice specifying a termination date at least ninety (90) days
thereafter. Such termination date shall, however, in no event be earlier than
the last day that Lessee could legally utilize the Premises without commencing
such Capital Expenditure.
(b) If such Capital Expenditure is not the result of the
specific and unique use of the Premises by Lessee (such as, governmentally
mandated seismic modifications), then Lessor and Lessee shall allocate the
obligation to pay for such costs pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 7.1(c);
provided, however, that if such Capital Expenditure is required during the last
six (6) months of this Lease or if Lessor reasonably determines that it is not
economically feasible to pay its share thereof, Lessor shall have the option to
terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to Lessee unless
Lessee notifies Lessor, in writing, within ten (10) days after receipt of
Lessor's termination notice that Lessee will pay for such Capital Expenditure.
If Lessor fails to tender its share of any such Capital Expenditure, Lessee may
advance such funds and deduct same, with Interest, from Rent until Lessor's
share of such costs have been fully paid. If Lessee is unable to finance
Lessor's share, or if the balance of the Rent due and payable for the remainder
of this Lease is not sufficient to fully reimburse Lessee on an offset basis,
Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days
written notice to Lessor.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, the provisions concerning
Capital Expenditures are intended to apply only to non-voluntary, unexpected,
and new Applicable Requirements. If the Capital Expenditures are instead
triggered by Lessee as a result of an actual or proposed change in use, change
in intensity of use, or modification to the Premises then, and in that event,
Lessee shall be fully responsible for the cost thereof, and Lessee shall not
have any right to terminate this Lease.
2.4 Acknowledgements. Lessee acknowledges that: (a) it has been advised
by Lessor and/or Brokers to satisfy itself with respect to the condition of the
Premises (including but not limited to the electrical, HVAC and fire sprinkler
systems, security, environmental aspects, and compliance with Applicable
Requirements), and their suitability for Lessee's intended use, (b) Lessee has
made such investigation as it deems necessary with reference to such matters and
assumes all responsibility therefor as the same relate to its occupancy of the
Premises, and (c) neither Lessor, Lessor's agents, nor any Broker has made any
oral or written representations or warranties with respect to said matters other
than as set forth in this Lease. In addition, Lessor acknowledges that: (a)
Broker has made no representations, promises or warranties concerning Lessee's
ability to honor the Lease or suitability to occupy the Premises, and (b) it is
Lessor's sole responsibility to investigate the financial capability and/or
suitability of all proposed tenants.
2.5 Lessee as Prior Owner/Occupant. The warranties made by Lessor in
Paragraph 2 shall be of no force or effect if immediately prior to the Start
Date Lessee was the owner or occupant of the Premises. In such event, Lessee
shall be responsible for any necessary corrective work.
3. Term
3.1 Term. The Commencement Date, Expiration Date, and Original Term of
this Lease are as specified in Paragraph 1.3.
3.2 Early Possession. If Lessee totally or partially occupies the
Premises prior to the Commencement Date, the obligation to pay Base Rent shall
be abated for the period of such early possession. All other terms of this Lease
(including but not limited to the obligations to pay Real Property Taxes and
insurance premiums and to maintain the Premises) shall, however, be in effect
during such period. Any such early possession shall not affect the Expiration
Date.
3.3 Delay in Possession. Lessor agrees to use its best commercially
reasonable efforts to deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee by the
Commencement Date. If, despite said efforts, Lessor is unable to deliver
possession as agreed, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor
shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease. Lessee shall not, however,
be obligated to pay Rent or perform its other obligations until it receives
possession of the Premises. If possession is not delivered within sixty (60)
days after the Commencement Date, Lessee may, at its option, by notice in
writing within ten (10) days after the end of such sixty (60) day period, cancel
this Lease, in which event the Parties shall be discharged from all obligations
hereunder. If such written notice is not received by Lessor within said ten (10)
day period, Lessee's right to cancel shall terminate. Except as otherwise
provided, if possession is not tendered to Lessee when required and Lessee does
not terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, any period of rent abatement that Lessee
would otherwise have enjoyed under the terms hereof, but minus any days of delay
caused by the acts or omissions of Lessee. If possession of the Premises is not
delivered within four (4) months after the Commencement Date, this Lease shall
terminate unless other agreements are reached between Lessor and Lessee, in
writing.
3.4 Lessee Compliance. Lessor shall not be required to tender
possession of the Premises to Lessee until Lessee complies with its obligation
to provide evidence of insurance (Paragraph 8.5). Pending delivery of such
evidence, Lessee shall be required to perform all of its obligations under this
Lease from and after the Start Date, including the payment of Rent,
notwithstanding Lessor's election to withhold possession pending receipt of such
evidence of insurance. Further, if Lessee is required to perform any other
conditions prior to or concurrent with the Start Date, the Start Date shall
occur but Lessor may elect to withhold possession until such conditions are
satisfied.
4. Rent
4.1 Rent Defined. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under
the terms of this Lease (except for the Security Deposit) are deemed to be rent
("Rent").
4.2 Payment. Lessee shall cause payment of Rent to be received by
Lessor in lawful money of the United States, without offset or deduction, on or
before the day on which it is due. Rent for any period during the term hereof
which is for less than one (1) full calendar month shall be prorated based upon
the actual number of days of said month. Payment of Rent shall be made to Lessor
at its address stated herein or to such other persons or place as Lessor may
from time to time designate in writing. Acceptance of a payment which is less
than the amount then due shall not be a waiver of Lessor's rights to the balance
of such Rent, regardless of Lessor's endorsement of any check so stating.
5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof the
Security Deposit as security for Lessee's faithful performance of its
obligations under this Lease. If Lessee fails to pay Rent, or otherwise Defaults
under this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said
Security Deposit for the payment of any amount due Lessor or to reimburse or
compensate Lessor for any liability, expense, loss or damage which Lessor may
suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all or any portion
of said Security Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written
request therefor deposit monies with Lessor sufficient to restore said Security
Deposit to the full amount required by this Lease. If the Base Rent increases
during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon written request from Lessor,
deposit additional moneys with Lessor so that the total amount of the Security
Deposit shall at all times bear the same proportion to the increased Base Rent
as the Initial Security Deposit bore to the initial Base Rent. Should the Agreed
Use be amended to accommodate a material change in the business of Lessee or to
accommodate a sublessee or assignee, Lessor shall have the right to increase the
Security Deposit to the extent necessary, in lessor's reasonable judgement, to
account for any increased wear and tear that the Premises may suffer as a result
thereof. If a change in control of Lessee occurs during this Lease and following
such change the financial condition of Lessee is, in Lessor's reasonable
judgment, significantly reduced, Lessee shall deposit such additional monies
with Lessor as shall be sufficient to cause the Security Deposit to be at a
commercially reasonable level based on said change in financial condition.
Lessor shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its
general accounts. Within fourteen (14) days after the expiration or termination
of this Lease, if Lessor elects to apply the Security Deposit only to unpaid
Rent, and otherwise within thirty (30) days after the Premises have been vacated
pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(c) below, Lessor shall return that portion of the
Security Deposit not used or applied by Lessor. No part of the Security Deposit
shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear interest, or to be prepayment
for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this Lease.
6. Use.
6.1 Use. Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the Agreed
Use, or any other legal use which is reasonably comparable thereto, and for no
other purpose. Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the Premises in a
manner that is unlawful, creates damage, waste or a nuisance, or that disturbs
owners and/or occupants of, or causes damage to neighboring properties. Lessor
shall not unreasonably withhold
PAGE 2 Initials /s/RBG /s/DBR
<PAGE>
or delay its consent to any written request for a modification of the Agreed
Use, so long as the same will not impair the structural integrity of the
improvements on the Premises or the mechanical or electrical systems therein, is
not significantly more burdensome to the Premises. If Lessor elects to withhold
consent, Lessor shall within five (5) business days after such request give
written notification of same, which notice shall include an explanation of
Lessor's objections to the change in use.
6.2 Hazardous Substances.
(a) Reportable Uses Require Consent. The term "Hazardous
Substance" as used in this Lease shall mean any product, substance or waste
whose presence, use, manufacture, disposal, transportation, or release, either
by itself or in combination with other materials expected to be on the Premises,
is either: (i) potentially injurious to the public health, safety or welfare,
the environment or the Premises, (ii) regulated or monitored by any governmental
authority, or (iii) a basis for potential liability of Lessor to any
governmental agency or third party under any applicable statute or common law
theory. Hazardous Substances shall include, but not be limited to, hydrocarbons,
petroleum, gasoline, and/or crude oil or any products, by-products or fractions
thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in or on the Premises which
constitutes a Reportable Use of Hazardous Substances without the express prior
written consent of Lessor and timely compliance (as Lessee's expense) with all
Applicable Requirements. "Reportable Use" shall mean (i) the installation or use
of any above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the generation, possession,
storage, use, transportation, or disposal of a Hazardous Substance that requires
a permit from, or with respect to which a report, notice, registration or
business plan is required to be filed with, any governmental authority, and/or
(iii) the presence at the Premises of a Hazardous Substance with respect to
which any Applicable Requirements requires that a notice be given to persons
entering or occupying the Premises or neighboring properties. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lessee may use any ordinary and customary materials reasonably
required to be used in the normal course of the Agreed Use, so long as such use
is in compliance with all Applicable Requirements, and does not expose the
Premises or neighboring property to any meaningful risk of contamination or
damage or expose Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition, Lessor may
condition its consent to any Reportable Use upon receiving such additional
assurances as Lessor reasonably deems necessary to protect itself, the public,
the Premises and/or the environment against damage, contamination, injury and/or
liability, including, but not limited to, the installation (and removal on or
before Lease expiration or termination) of protective modifications (such as
concrete encasements) and/or increasing the Security Deposit.
(b) Duty to Inform Lessor. If Lessee knows, or has reasonable
cause to believe, that a Hazardous Substance has come to be located in, on,
under or about the Premises, other than as previously consented to by Lessor,
Lessee shall immediately give written notice of such fact to Lessor, and provide
Lessor with a copy of any report, notice, claim or other documentation which it
has concerning the presence of such Hazardous Substance.
(c) Lessee Remediation. Lessee shall not cause or permit any
Hazardous Substance to be spilled or released in, on, under, or about the
Premises (including through the plumbing or sanitary sewer system) and shall
promptly, at Lessee's expense, take all investigatory and/or remedial action
reasonably recommended, whether or not formally ordered or required, for the
cleanup of any contamination of, and for the maintenance, security and/or
monitoring of the Premises or neighboring properties, that was caused or
materially contributed to by Lessee, or pertaining to or involving any Hazardous
Substance brought onto the Premises during the term of this Lease, by or for
Lessee, or any third party.
(d) Lessee Indemnification. Lessee shall indemnify, defend and
hold Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, harmless
from and against any and all loss of rents and/or damages, liabilities,
judgments, claims, expenses, penalties, and attorneys' and consultants' fees
(together, "Damages") arising out of or involving any Hazardous Substance
brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee, or any third party (provided,
however, that Lessee shall have no liability under this Lease with respect to
underground migration of any Hazardous Substance under the Premises from
adjacent properties). Lessee's obligations shall include, but not be limited to,
the effects of any contamination or injury to person, property or the
environment (together, "Effects") created or suffered by Lessee, and the cost of
investigation, removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement and shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. No termination,
cancellation or release agreement entered into by Lessor and Lessee shall
release Lessee from its obligations under this lease with respect to Hazardous
Substances, unless specifically so agreed by Lessor in writing at the time of
such agreement.
(e) Lessor Indemnification. Lessor and its successors and
assigns shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold Lessee, its employees and
lenders, harmless from and against any and all Damages arising out of or
involving the presence, migration or discharge of Hazardous Substances on or
affecting the Premises prior to the Start Date or which are caused by the
negligence, or other acts of Lessor, its agents or employees. Lessor's
obligations shall include, but not be limited to, the Effects, the cost of
investigation, removal, remediation, restoration, and/or abatement, and shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
(f) Investigations and Remediations. Lessor shall retain the
responsibility and pay for any investigations or remediation measures required
by governmental entities having jurisdiction with respect to the existence of
Hazardous Substances on the Premises prior to the Start Date. Lessee shall
cooperate fully in any such activities at the request of Lessor, including
allowing Lessor and Lessor's agents to have reasonable access to the Premises at
reasonable times in order to carry out Lessor's investigative and remedial
responsibilities.
(g) Landlord Termination Option. If a Hazardous Substance
Condition occurs during the term of this Lease, unless Lessee is legally
responsible therefor (in which case Lessee shall make the investigation and
remediation thereof required by the Applicable Requirements and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, but subject to Lessor's rights under
Paragraph 6.2(d) and Paragraph 13), Lessor may, at Lessor's option, either (i)
investigate and remediate such Hazardous Substance Condition, if required, as
soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, or (ii) if the estimated cost to remediate
such condition exceeds twelve (12) times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000,
whichever is greater, give written notice to Lessee, within thirty (30) days
after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such Hazardous
Substance Condition, of Lessor's desire to terminate this Lease as of the date
sixty (60) days following the date of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to
give a termination notice, Lessee may, within ten (10) days thereafter, give
written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay the amount by which the
cost of the remediation of such Hazardous Substance Condition exceeds an amount
equal to twelve (12) times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is
greater. Lessee shall provide Lessor with said funds or satisfactory assurance
thereof within thirty (30) days following such commitment. In such event, this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make
such remediation as soon as reasonably possible after the required funds are
available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide the required funds or
assurance thereof within the time provided, this Lease shall terminate as of the
date specified in Lessor's notice of termination.
6.3 Lessee's Compliance with Applicable Requirements. Except as
otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole expense, fully,
diligently and in a timely manner, materially comply with all Applicable
Requirements, the requirements of any applicable fire insurance underwriter or
rating bureau, and the recommendations of Lessor's engineers and/or consultants
which relate in any manner to the Premises, without regard to whether said
requirements are now in effect or become effective after the Start Date. Lessee
shall within ten (10) days after receipt of Lessor's written request, provide
Lessor with copies of all permits and other documents and other information
evidencing Lessee's compliance with any Applicable Requirements specified by
Lessor, and shall immediately upon receipt, notify Lessor in writing (with
copies of any documents involved) of any threatened or actual claim, notice,
citation, warning, complaint or report pertaining to or involving the failure of
Lessee or the Premises to comply with any Applicable Requirements.
6.4 Inspection; Compliance. Lessor and Lessor's Lender and consultants
shall have the right to enter into the Premises at any time, in the case of an
emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times, for the purpose of inspecting the
condition of the Premises and for verifying compliance by Lessee with this
Lease. The cost of any such inspections shall be paid by the Lessor, unless a
violation of Applicable Requirements, or a contamination is found to exist or be
imminent, or the inspection is requested or ordered by a governmental authority.
In such case, Lessee shall upon request reimburse Lessor for the cost of such
inspections, so long as such inspection is reasonably related to the violation
or contamination.
7. Maintenance; Repairs, Utility Installations; Trade Fixtures and
Alterations.
7.1 Lessee's Obligations.
(a) In General. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 2.2
(Condition), 2.3 (Compliance), 6.3 (Lessee's Compliance with Applicable
Requirements), 7.2 (Lessor's Obligations), 9 (Damage or Destruction), and 14
(Condemnation), Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole expense, keep
PAGE 3 Initials /s/RBG /s/DBR
<PAGE>
the Premises, Utility Installations, and Alterations in good order, condition
and repair (whether or not the portion of the Premises requiring repairs, or the
means of repairing the same, are reasonable or readily accessible to Lessee, and
whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Lessee's use, any
prior use, the elements or the age of such portion of the Premises), including,
but not limited to, all equipment or facilities, such as plumbing, HVAC,
electrical, lighting facilities, boilers, pressure vessels, fire protection
system, fixtures, walls (interior and exterior), foundations, ceilings, roofs,
floors, windows, doors, plate glass, skylights, landscaping, driveways, parking
lots, fences, retaining walls, signs, sidewalks and parkways located in, on, or
adjacent to the Premises. Lessee, in keeping the Premises in good order,
condition and repair, shall exercise and perform good maintenance practices,
specifically including the procurement and maintenance of the service contracts
required by Paragraph 7.1(b) below. Lessee's obligations shall include
restorations (including restoration required by Santa Monica City Ordinance),
replacements or renewals when necessary to keep the Premises and all
improvements thereon or a part thereof in good order, condition and state of
repair. Lessee shall, during the term of this Lease, keep the exterior
appearance of the Building in a first-class condition consistent with the
exterior appearance of other similar facilities of comparable age and size in
the vicinity, including, when necessary, the exterior repainting of the
Building.
(b) deleted.
(c) Replacement. Subject to Lessee's indemnification of Lessor
as set forth in Paragraph 8.7 below, and without relieving Lessee of liability
resulting from Lessee's failure to exercise and perform good maintenance
practices, if the Basic Elements described in Paragraph 7.1(b) cannot be
repaired other than at a cost which is in excess of 50% of the cost of replacing
such Basic Elements, then such Basic Elements shall be replaced by Lessor, and
the cost thereof shall be prorated between the Parties and Lessee shall only be
obligated to pay, each month during the remainder of the term of this Lease, on
the date on which Base Rent is due, an amount equal to the product of
multiplying the cost of such replacement by a fraction, the numerator of which
is one, and the denominator of which is the number of months of the useful life
of such replacement as such useful life is specified pursuant to Federal income
tax regulations or guidelines for depreciation thereof (including interest on
the unamortized balance as is then commercially reasonable in the judgment of
Lessor's accountants), with Lessee reserving the right to prepay its obligation
at any time.
7.2 Lessor's Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2.2
(Condition), 2.3 (Compliance), 9 (Damage and Destruction) and 14 (Condemnation),
it is intended by the Parties hereto that Lessor have no obligation, in any
manner whatsoever, to repair and maintain the Premises, or the equipment
therein, all of which obligations of the Parties as to maintenance and repair of
the Premises, and they expressly waive the benefit of any statute now or
hereafter in effect to the extent it is inconsistent with the terms of this
Lease.
7.3 Utility Installations; Trade Fixtures; Alterations.
(a) Definitions; Consent Required. The term "Utility
Installations" refers to all floor and window coverings, air lines, power
panels, electrical distribution, security and fire protection systems,
communication systems, lighting fixtures, HVAC equipment, plumbing, and fencing
in or on the Premises. The term "Trade Fixtures" shall mean Lessee's machinery
and equipment that can be removed without doing material damage to the Premises.
The term "Alterations" shall mean any modification of the improvements, other
than Utility Installations or Trade Fixtures, whether by addition or deletion.
"Lessee Owned Alterations and/or Utility Installations" are defined as
Alterations and/or Utility Installations made by Lessee that are not yet owned
by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(a). Lessee shall not make any alterations of
Utility Installations to the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
Lessee may, however, make non-structural Utility Installations to the interior
of the Premises (excluding the roof) without such consent but upon notice to
Lessor, as long as they are not visible from the outside, do not involve
puncturing, relocating or removing the roof or any existing walls, and the
cumulative cost thereof during this Lease as extended does not exceed $50,000 in
the aggregate or $10,000 in any one year.
(b) Consent. Any Alterations or Utility Installations that
Lessee shall desire to make and which require the consent of the Lessor shall be
presented to Lessor in written form with detailed plans. Consent shall be deemed
conditioned upon Lessee's (i) acquiring all applicable governmental permits,
(ii) furnishing Lessor with copies of both the permits and the plans and
specifications prior to commencement of the work, and (iii) compliance with all
conditions of said permits and other Applicable Requirements in a prompt and
expeditious manner. Any alterations or Utility Installations shall be performed
in a workmanlike manner with good and sufficient materials. Lessee shall
promptly upon completion furnish Lessor with as-built plans and specifications.
For work which costs an amount equal to the greater of one month's Base Rent, or
$10,000, Lessor may condition its consent upon Lessee providing a lien and
completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost
of such Alteration or Utility Installation and/or upon Lessee's posting an
additional Security Deposit with Lessor.
(c) Indemnification. Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims
for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for
Lessee at or for use on the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any
mechanic's or materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein.
Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the
commencement of any work in, on or about the Premises, and Lessor shall have the
right to post notices of non-responsibility. If Lessee shall contest the
validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole
expense defend and protect itself, Lessor and the Premises against the same and
shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon
before the enforcement thereof. If Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish a
surety bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the amount of such
contested lien, claim or demand, indemnifying Lessor against liability for the
same. If Lessor elects to participate in any such action, Lessee shall pay
Lessor's attorneys' fees and costs.
7.4 Ownership; Removal; Surrender; and Restoration.
(a) Ownership. Subject to Lessor's right to require removal or
elect ownership as hereinafter provided, all Alterations and Utility
Installations made by Lessee shall be the property of Lessee, but considered a
part of the Premises. Lessor may, at any time, elect in writing to be the owner
of all or any specified part of the Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations. Unless otherwise instructed per Paragraph 7.4(b) hereof, all
Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations shall, at the expiration or
termination of this Lease, become the property of Lessor and be surrendered by
Lessee with the Premises.
(b) Removal. By delivery to Lessee of written notice from
Lessor not later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the term of this
Lease, Lessor may require that any or all Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility
Installations be removed by the expiration or termination of this Lease. Lessor
may require the removal at any time of all or any part of any Lessee Owned
Alterations or Utility Installations made without the required consent.
(c) Surrender/Restoration. Lessee shall surrender the Premises
by the Expiration Date or any earlier termination date, with all of the
improvements, parts and surfaces thereof broom clean and free of debris, and in
good operating order, condition and state of repair, ordinary wear and tear
excepted. "Ordinary wear and tear" shall not include any damage or deterioration
that would have been prevented by good maintenance practice. Lessee shall repair
any damage occasioned by the installation, maintenance or removal of Trade
Fixtures, furnishings, and equipment as well as the removal of any storage tank
installed by or for Lessee and the removal, replacement, or remediations of any
soil, material, or groundwater contaminated by Lessee. Trade Fixtures shall
remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by Lessee. The failure by
Lessee to timely vacate the Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 7.4(c) without
the express written consent of Lessor shall constitute a holdover under the
provisions of Paragraph 26 below.
8. Insurance; Indemnity.
8.1. Payment For Insurance. Lessee shall pay for all insurance required
under Paragraph 8 except to the extent of the cost attributable to liability
insurance carried by Lessor under Paragraph 8.2(b) in excess of $2,000,000 per
occurrence. Premiums for policy periods commencing prior to or extending beyond
the Lease term shall be prorated to correspond to the Lease term. Payment shall
be made by Lessee to Lessor within ten (10) days following receipt of an
invoice.
8.2 Liability Insurance.
(a) Carried by Lessee. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force a
Commercial General Liability Policy of Insurance protecting Lessee
PAGE 4 Initials /s/RBG /s/DBR
<PAGE>
(b) Carried by Lessor. Lessor shall maintain liability
insurance as described in Paragraph 8.2(a), in addition to, and not in lieu of,
the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be named as
an additional insured therein.
8.3 Property Insurance - Building, Improvements and Rental Value.
(a) Building and Improvements. The Insuring party shall obtain
and keep in force a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with and to any
Lender insuring loss or damage to the Premises. The amount of such insurance
shall be equal to the full replacement cost of the Premises, as the same shall
exist from time to time, or the amount required by an Lenders, but in no event
more than the commercially reasonable and available insurable value thereof. If
Lessor is the Insuring Party, however, Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installation, Trade Fixtures, and Lessee's personal property shall be insured by
Lessee under Paragraph 8.4 rather than by Lessor. If the coverage is available
and commercially appropriate, such policy or policies shall insure against all
risks of direct physical loss or damage (except the peril of flood and/or
earthquake), including coverage for debris removal and the enforcement of any
Applicable Requirements requiring the upgrading, demolition, reconstruction or
replacement of any portion of the Premises as the result of a covered loss. Said
policy or policies shall also contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of
any coinsurance clause, waiver of subrogation, and inflation guard protection
causing an increase in the annual property insurance coverage amount by a factor
of not less than the adjusted U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for
all Urban Consumers for the city nearest to where the Premises are located. If
such insurance coverage has a deductible clause, the deductible amount shall not
exceed $50,000 per occurrence and Lessee shall be liable for such deductible
amount in the event of an Insured Loss.
(b) Rental Value. The Insuring Party shall obtain and keep in
force a policy or policies in the name of Lessor with loss payable to Lessor and
any Lender, insuring the loss of the full Rent for one (1) year. Said insurance
shall provide that in the event the Lease is terminated by reason of an insured
loss, the period of indemnity for such coverage shall be extended beyond the
date of the completion of repairs or replacement of the Premises, to provide for
one full year's loss of Rent from the date of any such loss. Said insurance
shall contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any coinsurance clause,
and the amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the projected
Rent otherwise payable by Lessee, for the next twelve (12) month period. Lessee
shall be liable for any deductible amount in the event of such loss.
(c) Adjacent Premises. If the Premises are part of a larger
building, or of a group of buildings owned by Lessor which are adjacent to the
Premises, the Lessee shall pay for any increase in the premiums for the property
insurance of such building or buildings if said increase is caused by Lessee's
acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.
8.4 Lessee's Property/Business Interruption Insurance.
(a) Property Damage. Lessee shall obtain and maintain
insurance coverage on all of Lessee's personal property, Trade fixtures, and
Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Such insurance shall be full
replacement cost coverage with a deductible of not to exceed $25,000 per
occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee for the
replacement of personal property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee Owned Alterations
and Utility Installations. Lessee shall provide Lessor with written evidence
that such insurance is in force.
(b) Business Interruption. If reasonably available, and if
Lessor requests Lessee to do so in writing, Lessee shall obtain and maintain
loss of income and extra expense insurance in amounts as will reimburse Lessee
for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly
insured against by prudent lessees in the business of Lessee or attributable to
prevention of access to the Premises as a result of such perils.
(c) No Representation of Adequate Coverage. Lessor makes no
representation that the limits or forms of coverage of insurance specified
herein are adequate to cover Lessee's property, business operations or
obligations under this Lease.
8.5 Insurance Policies. Insurance required herein shall be by companies
duly licensed or admitted to transact business in the state where the Premises
are located, and maintaining during the policy term a "General Policyholders
Rating" of at least B+, V, as set forth in the most current issue of "Best's
Insurance Guide", or such other rating as may be required by a Lender. Lessee
shall not do or permit to be done anything which invalidates the required
insurance policies. Lessee shall, prior to the Start Date, deliver to Lessor
certified copies of policies of such insurance or certificates evidencing the
existence and amounts of the required insurance. No such policy shall be
cancelable or subject to modification except after thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with evidence of renewals or
"insurance binders" evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may order such
insurance and charge the costs thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable
by lessee to Lessor upon demand. Such policies shall be for a term of at least
one year, or the length of the remaining term of this Lease, whichever is less.
If either Party shall fail to procure and maintain the insurance required to be
carried by it, the other Party may, but shall not be required to, procure and
maintain the same.
8.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Without affecting any other rights or
remedies, Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive
their entire right to recover damages against the other, for loss of or damage
to its property arising out of or incident to the perils required to be insured
against herein. The effect of such releases and waivers is not limited by the
amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable
hereto. The Parties agree to have their respective property damage insurance
carriers waive any right to subrogation that such companies may have against
Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, so long as the insurance is not
invalidated thereby.
8.7 Indemnity. Except for Lessor's sole negligence, Lessee shall
indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the Premises, Lessor and its
agents, Lessor's master or ground lessor, partners and Lenders, from and against
any and all claims, loss of rents and/or damages, liens, judgments, penalties,
attorneys' and consultants; fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of,
involving, or in connection with, the use and/or occupancy of the Premises by
Lessee. If any action or proceeding is brought against Lessor by reason of any
of the foregoing matters, Lessee shall upon notice defend the same at Lessee's
expense by counsel satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee
in such defense. Lessor need not have first paid any such claim in order to be
defended or indemnified.
8.8 Exemption of Lessor from Liability. Lessor shall not be liable for
injury to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Lessee,
Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any other person in or
about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from
fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage,
obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires, appliances,
plumbing, HVAC or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether the said
damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other
portions of the Building of which the Premises are a part, or from other sources
or places. Lessor shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or
neglect of any other tenant of Lessor. Notwithstanding Lessor's negligence or
breach of this Lease, Lessor shall under no circumstances be liable for injury
to Lessee's business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom.
9. Damage or Destruction.
9.1 Definitions.
(a) "Premises Partial Damage" shall herein mean damage or
destruction to the improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned
Alternations and Utility Installations, which can be repaired in six (6) months
or less from the date of the damage or destruction. Lessor shall notify Lessee
in writing thirty (30) days from the date of the damage or destruction as to
whether or not the damage is Partial or Total.
(b) "Premises Total Destruction" shall mean damage or
destruction to improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations
and Utility Installations, which cannot reasonably be repaired in six (6) months
or less from the date of the damage or destruction. Lessor shall notify Lessee
in writing thirty (30) days from the date of the damage or destruction as to
whether or not the damage is Partial or Total.
PAGE 5 Initials ./s/RBG /s/DBR
<PAGE>
(c) "Insured Loss" shall herein mean damage or destruction to
improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations and Trade Fixtures, which was caused by an event required to be
covered by the insurance described in paragraph 8.3(a), irrespective of any
deductible amounts of coverage limits involved.
(d) "Replacement Cost" shall mean the cost to repair or
rebuild the improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their
condition existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris
removal and upgrading required by the operation of Applicable Requirements, and
without deduction for depreciation.
(e) "Hazardous Substance Condition" shall bean the occurrence
of discovery of a condition involving the presence of, or a contamination by, a
Hazardous Substance as defined in paragraph 6.2(a), in, on, or under the
Premises.
9.2 Partial Damage - Insured Loss. If a Premises partial Damage that is
an Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessee's, at Lessor's expense,
repair such damage, (but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee Owned Alterations
and Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that Lessee shall, at
Lessor's election, make the repair of any damage or destruction the total cost
to repair of which is $10,000 or less, and, in such event, Lessor shall make any
applicable insurance proceeds available to Lessee on a reasonable basis for that
purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required insurance was not in
force or the insurance proceeds are not sufficient to effect such repair, the
Insuring Party shall promptly contribute the shortage in proceeds (except as to
the deductible which is Lessee's responsibility) as and when required to
complete said repairs. In the event, however, such shortage was due to the fact
that, by reason of the unique nature of the improvements, full replacement cost
insurance coverage was not commercially reasonable and available, Lessor shall
have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance proceeds or to fully
restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with
the funds to cover same, or adequate assurance thereof, within ten (10) days
following receipt of written notice of such shortage and request therefor. If
Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance therefor within said ten (10)
day period, the party responsible for making the repairs shall complete them as
soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect. If such funds or assurance are not received, Lessor may nevertheless
elect by written notice to Lessee within ten (10) days thereafter to: (i) make
such restoration and repair as is commercially reasonable with Lessor paying any
shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect, or have this Lease terminate thirty (30) days thereafter. Lessee shall
not be entitled to reimbursement of any funds contributed by Lessee to repair
any such damage or destruction. Premises Partial Damage due to flood or
earthquake shall be subject to Paragraph 9.3, notwithstanding that there may be
some insurance coverage, but the net proceeds of any such insurance shall be
made available for the repairs if made by either Party.
9.3 Partial Damage - Uninsured Loss. If a Premises Partial Damage that
is not an Insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of
Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense),
Lessor may either: (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at
Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, or (ii) terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Lessee within
thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such
damage. Such termination shall be effective sixty (60 days following the date of
such notice. In the event Lessor elects to terminate this Lease, Lessee shall
have the right within ten (10) days after receipt of the termination notice to
give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for the repair of
such damage, without reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with
said funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days after
making such commitment. In such event this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect, and Lessee shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably
possible after the required funds are available. If Lessee does not make the
required commitment, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in the
termination notice.
9.4 Total Destruction. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a
Premises total Destruction occurs, this Lease shall automatically terminate
sixty (60) days following such Destruction. If the damage or destruction was
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee, Lessor shall
have the right to recover Lessor's damages from Lessee except as provided in
Paragraph 8.6.
9.5 Damage Near End of Term. If any time during the last six (6) months
of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair exceeds one (1)
month's Base Rent, whether or not an Insurance Loss, Lessor may terminate this
Lease effective ninety (90) days following the date of occurrence of such damage
by giving a written termination notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after
the date of occurrence of such damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee
at that time has an exercisable option to extend this Lease or to purchase the
Premises, then Lessee may preserve this Lease by, (a) exercising such options
and (b) providing Lessor with any shortage in insurance proceeds (or adequate
assurance therefor) needed to make the repairs on or before the earlier of (i)
the date which is ten days after Lessee's receipt of Lessor's written notice
purporting to terminate this Lease, or (ii) the day prior to the date upon which
such option expires. If Lessee duly exercises such option during such period and
provides Lessor with funds (or adequate assurance thereof) to cover any shortage
in insurance proceeds, Lessor shall, at Lessor's commercially reasonable
expense, repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise such option and
provide such funds or assurance during such period, then this Lease shall
terminate on the date specified in the termination notice and Lessee's option
shall be extinguished.
9.6 Abatement of Rent: Lessee's Remedies
(a) Abatement. In the even of Premises Partial Damage or
Premises Total Destruction or a Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee
is not responsible under this Lease, the Rent payable by Lessee for the period
required for the repair, remediation or restorations of such damage shall be
abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is
impaired, but not to exceed the proceeds received from the Rental Value
insurance. All other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by
Lessee, and Lessor shall have no liability for any such damage, destruction,
remediation, repair or restoration except as provided herein.
(b) Remedies. If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or
restore the Premises and does not commence, in a substantial and meaningful way,
such repair or restoration within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall
accrue, lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of such repair or
restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee
has actual notice, of Lessee's election to terminate this lease on a date not
less than sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee give
such notice and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30)
days thereafter, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said
notice. If the repair or restoration is commenced within said thirty (30) days,
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. "Commence' shall mean either
the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required plans, or the
beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever first occurs.
9.7 Termination-Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to Paragraph 6.2(g) or Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be
made concerning advance Base Rent and any other advance payments made by Lessee
to Lessor. Lessor shall, in addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee's
Security Deposit as has not been, or in not then required to be, used by Lessor.
9.8 Waive Statutes. Lessor and Less agree that the terms of this Lease
shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises with
respect to the termination of this Lease and hereby waive the provisions of any
present or future statue to the extent inconsistent herewith.
10. Real Property Taxes.
10.1 Definition of "Real Property Taxes." As used herein, the term
"Real Property Taxes" shall include any form of assessment; real estate,
general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, or rental levy or tax (other than
inheritance, personal income or estate taxes) improvement bond; and/or license
fee imposed upon or levied against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in
the Premises, Lessor's right to other income therefrom, and/or Lessor's business
of leasing, by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax and
where the funds are generated with reference to the Building address and where
the proceeds so generated are to be applied by the city, county or other local
taxing authority of a jurisdiction within which the Premises are located. The
term "Real Property Taxes" shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or
charge, or any increase therein, imposed by reason of events occurring during
the term of this Lease, including but not limited to, a change in the ownership
of the Premises.
10.2
(a) Payment of Taxes. Lessee shall pay the Real Property Taxes
applicable to the Premises during the term of this Lease. Subject to paragraph
10.2(b), all such payments shall be made at least ten (10) days prior to any
delinquency date. Lessee shall promptly furnish Lessor with satisfactory
evidence that such taxes have been paid. If any such taxes shall cover any
period of time prior to or after the expiration or
PAGE 6 Initials /s/RBG /s/DBR
<PAGE>
termination of this Lease, lessee's share of such taxes shall be prorated to
cover only that portion of the tax bill applicable to the period that this Lease
is in effect, and Lessor shall reimburse lessee for any overpayment. If Lessee
shall fail to pay any required Real property Taxes, Lessor shall have the right
to pay the same, and Lessee shall reimburse lessor therefor upon demand.
(b) Advance Payment. In the event Lessee incurs a late charge
for 3 consecutive months on any Rent payment, Lessor may, at Lessor's option,
estimate the current Real Property Taxes, and required that such taxes be paid
in advance to Lessor by Lessee, either: (i) in a lump sum amount equal to the
installment due, at least twenty (3) days prior to the applicable delinquency
date, or (ii) monthly in advance with the payment of the Base Rent. If Lessor
elects to require payment monthly in advance, the monthly payment shall be an
amount equal to the amount of the estimated installment of taxes divided by the
number of months remaining before the month in which said installment become
delinquent. When the actual amount of the applicable tax bill is known, the
amount of such equal monthly advance payment shall be adjusted as required to
provide the funds needed to pay the applicable taxes. If the amount collected by
Lessor is insufficient to pay such Real Property Taxes when due, Lessee shall
pay Lessor, upon demand, such additional sums as are necessary to pay such
obligations. All moneys paid to Lessor under this Paragraph may be intermingled
with other moneys of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In the event of a
Breach by lessee in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, then
any balance of funds paid to Lessor under the provisions of this Paragraph may
at the option of Lessor, be treated as an additional Security Deposit.
10.3 Joint Assessment. If the premises are not separately assessed,
lessee's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes
for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed,
such proportion to be conclusively determined by Lessor from the respective
valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information as
may be reasonably available.
10.4 Personal Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay, prior to delinquency,
all taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee Owned Alteration, Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property
of Lessee. When possible, Lessee shall cause such property to be assessed and
billed separately from the real property of Lessor. If any of Lessee's said
personal property shall be assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall
pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee's property within ten (10) days
after receipt of a written statement.
11. Utilities. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone, trash disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the
Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not
separately metered to Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion, to be
determined by Lessor, of all charges jointly metered.
12. Assignment and Subletting.
12.1 Lessor's Consent Required.
(a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or be operation of law
assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber (collectively, "assign or assignment") or
sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this lease or in the Premises
without Lessor's prior written consent.
(b) A change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an
assignment requiring consent. The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of fifty
percent (50%) or more of the voting control of Lessee shall constitute a change
in control for this purpose.
(c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any
transaction, or series of transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition,
financing, transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or not a formal
assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee's assets occurs, which
results or will result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee by an amount
greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of such Net Worth as it was represented
at the time of the execution of this Lease or at the time of the most recent
assignment to which Lessor has consented, or as it exists immediately prior to
said transaction or transactions constituting such reduction, whichever was or
is greater, shall be considered an assignment of this Lease to which Lessor may
withhold its consent. "Net Worth of Lessee" shall mean the net worth of Lessee
(excluding any guarantors) established under generally accepted accounting
principles.
(d) An assignment or subletting without consent shall, at
Lessor's option, be a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1(c), or a
noncurable Breach without the necessity of any notice and grace period. If
Lessor elects to treat such unapproved assignment or subletting as a noncurable
Breach, Lessor may either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon thirty (30)
days written notice, increase the monthly Base Rent to one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the Base Rent then in effect. Further, in the event of such Breach and
rental adjustment, (i) the purchase price of any option to purchase the Premises
held by Lessee shall be subject to similar adjustment to one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the price previously in effect, and (ii) all fixed and non-fixed
rental adjustments scheduled during the remainder of the Lease term shall be
increased to One Hundred Ten Percent (110%) of the scheduled adjusted rent.
(e) Lessee's remedy for any breach of Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor
shall be limited to compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief.
12.2 Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, any assignment or
subletting shall not: (i) be effective without the express written assumption by
such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (ii)
release lessee of any obligations hereunder, or (iii) alter the primary
liability of Lessee for the payment of Rent or for the performance of any other
obligations to be performed by Lessee.
(b) Lessor may accept Rent or performance of Lessee's
obligations from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of
an assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment
nor the acceptance of Rent or performance shall constitute a waiver or estoppel
of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for Lessee's Default or Breach.
(c) Lessor's consent to any assignment or subletting shall not
constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.
(d) In the event of any Default or Breach by Lessee, Lessor
may proceed directly against Lessee, any Guarantors or anyone else responsible
for the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, including any
assignee or sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor's remedies against any
other person or entity responsible therefore to Lessor, or any security held by
Lessor.
(e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting
shall be in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's
determination as to the financial and operational responsibility and
appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not limited
to the intended use and/or required modification of the premises, if any,
together with a fee of exact attorney invoice of the current monthly Base Rent
applicable to the portion of the Premises which is the subject of the proposed
assignment or sublease, whichever is greater, as consideration for Lessor's
considering and processing said request. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with
such other or additional information and/or documentation as may be reasonably
requested.
(f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by
reason of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed to
have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every term,
covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or performed by Lessee
during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than such obligations as
are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an assignment or sublease to
which Lessor has specifically consented to in writing.
12.3 Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. The
following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all or
any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under
this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:
(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to lessor all of
Lessee's interest in all Rent payable on any sublease, and Lessor may collect
such Rent and apply same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease; provided,
however, that until a Breach shall occur in the performance of Lessee's
obligations, Lessee may collect said Rent. Lessor shall not, by reason of the
foregoing or any assignment of such sublease, nor by reason of the collection of
Rent, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and
comply with any of Lessee's obligations of such sublessee. Lessee hereby
irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written
notice from Lessor stating that a Breach exists in the performance of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor all Rent due and to become due
under the sublease. Sublease shall rely upon any such notice from Lessor and
shall pay all Rents to Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to
whether such Breach exists, notwithstanding any claim from Lessee to the
contrary.
(b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee, Lessor may, at its
option, require sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall
undertake the obligations of the sublessor under such sublease from the time of
the exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease; provided,
however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit
paid by such sublessee to such sublessor or for any prior Defaults or Breaches
of sublessor.
PAGE 7 Initials /s/RBG /s/DBR
<PAGE>
(c) Any matter requiring the consent of the sublessor under a
sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor.
(d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any
part of the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.
(e) Lessor shall delivery a copy of any notice of Default or
Breach by Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the Default
of Lessee within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice. The
sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee
for any such Defaults cured by the sublessee.
13. Default; Breach; Remedies.
13.1 Default; Breach. A "Default" is defined as a failure by the Lessee
to comply with or perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions or rules under
this Lease. A "Breach" is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the
following Defaults, and the failure of Lessee to cure such Default within any
applicable grace period.
(a) The abandonment of the Premises; or the vacating of the
Premises without providing a commercially reasonable level of security, or where
the coverage of the property insurance described in Paragraph 8.3 is jeopardized
as a result thereof, or without providing reasonable assurances to minimize
potential vandalism.
(b) The failure of y Lessee to make any payment of Rent or any
other monetary payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, whether to
Lessor or to a third party, when due, to provide reasonable evidence of
insurance or surety bond or to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which
endangers or threatens life or property, where such failure continues for a
period of five (5) days following written notice thereof to Lessee.
(c) The failure by Lessee to provide upon request (i)
reasonable written evidence of compliance with Applicable Requirements, (ii)
(deleted), (iii) the rescission of an unauthorized assignment or subletting,
(iv) a Tenancy Statement, (v) a requested subordination, (vi) evidence
concerning any guaranty and/or Guarantor, (vii) any document requested under
Paragraph 42 (easements), or (viii) any other documentation or information which
Lessor may reasonably require of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, where any
such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days following written notice to
Lessee. o observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of
this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, other than described in
paragraph (b) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days
after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if
the nature of Lessee's default is such that more than 30 days are reasonably
required for its cure, then Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if
Lessee commenced such cure within said 30-day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes such cure to completion.
(d) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions
or provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under Paragraph 40 hereof,
other than those described in subparagraphs 13.1(a), (b) or (c), above, where
such Default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice;
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's Default is such that more than
thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then it shall be deemed
to be a Breach if Lessee commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period
and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
(e) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the
making of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(ii) becoming a "debtor" as defined in 11 U.S.C. 101 or any successor statute
thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is
dismissed within 60 days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to
take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises
or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to
Lessee within 30 days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial
seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of
Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within
thirty (30) days; provided, however, in the event that any provision of this
paragraph (e) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no
force or effect, and not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
(f) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement of
Lessee or of any Guarantor given to Lessor was materially false.
(g) If the performance of Lessee's obligations under
this Lease is guaranteed; (i)
13.2 Remedies. If Lessee fails to perform any of its affirmative duties
or obligations, within ten (10) days after written notice (or in case of
emergency, without notice), Lessor may, at its option, perform such duty or
obligation on Lessee's behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of
reasonably required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits
or approvals. The costs and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be
due and payable by Lessee upon receipt of invoice therefore. If any check given
to Lessor by Lessee shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn,
Lessor, at its option, may require all future payments to be made by lessee to
be by cashier's check. In the event of a Breach, Lessor may, with or without
further notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any
right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by
any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall
immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event Lessor
shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the unpaid Rent which had been
earned at the time of termination; (ii) 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 such rental loss that the Lessee
proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) 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 such rental loss that the Lessee proves
could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate
Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee'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 the cost
of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including
necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees,
and that portion of any leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with
this Lease applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time
of award of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately
preceding sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount
rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of the District within which the Premises are
located at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Efforts by Lessor to
mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Breach of this Lease shall not waive
Lessor's right to recover damages under Paragraph 12. If termination of this
Lease is obtained through the provisional remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor
shall have the right to recover in such proceeding any unpaid Rent and damages
are recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve the right to recover all or any
part thereof in a separate suit. IF a notice and g race period required under
Paragraph 13.1 and the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently, and the
failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the two grace
periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease
entitling Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or said statute.
(b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession and
recover the Rent as it becomes due, in which event Lessee may sublet or assign,
subject only to reasonable limitation. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet,
and/or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessor's interests, shall
not constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to possession.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available under
the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located.
The expiration of termination of this Lease and/or the termination of Lessee's
right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability under any indemnity
provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing curing the term
hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.
13.3 Inducement Recapture. Any agreement for free or abated rent or
other charges, or for the giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any
cash or other bonus, inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this
Lease, all of which concessions are hereinafter referred to as "Inducement
Provisions", shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful
performance of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease. Upon
Breach of this Lease by Lessee, any such Inducement Provision shall
automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and of no further force or
effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or consideration
theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessor under such Inducement Provision
shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor, notwithstanding any
subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. The acceptance by Lessor of rent or
the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this paragraph shall not
PAGE 8 Initials /s/RBG /s/DBR
<PAGE>
be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this paragraph unless
specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such acceptance.
13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee of Rent will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease,
the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs
include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late
charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by any Lender. Accordingly, if any Rent
shall not be received by Lessor or within five (5) days after such amount shall
be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor a one-time late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount.
The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee.
Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver
of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent
the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the
event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for
three (3) consecutive installments of Base Rent, then notwithstanding any
provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option,
become due and payable quarterly in advance.
13.5 Interest. Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder, other than
late charges, not received by lessor within thirty (30) days following the date
on which it was due, shall bear interest from the thirty-first (31st) day after
it was due. The interest ("Interest") charged shall be equal to the prime rate
charged by the largest state chartered bank in the state in which the Premises
are located plus 4%, but shall not exceed the maximum rate allowed by law.
Interest is payable in addition to the potential late charge provided for in
Paragraph 13.4.
13.6 Breach by Lessor.
(a) Notice of Breach. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of
this Lease unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation
required to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this paragraph, a reasonable
time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor,
and any Lender whose name and address shall have been furnished Lessee in
writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation
of Lessor has not been performed; provided however, that if the nature of
Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably
required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in breach if performance
is commenced within such thirty (3) day period and thereafter diligently pursued
to completion.
(b) Performance by Lessee on Behalf of Lessor. In the event
that neither Lessor nor Lender cures said breach within thirty (30) days after
receipt of said notice, or if having commenced said cure they do not diligently
pursue it to completion, then Lessee may elect to cure said breach at Lessee's
expense and offset from Rent an amount equal to the greater of one month's base
Rent or the Security Deposit, and to pay an excess of such expense under
protest, reserving Lessee's right to reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall
document the cost of said cure and supply said documentation to Lessor.
14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the
power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power
(collectively "Condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken
as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever
first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of any building, or more than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the land area not occupied by any building, is
taken by Condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in
writing within ten (10) days after Lessor shall have given lessee written notice
of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the
condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the
date the condemning authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not
terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain
in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except
that the Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in utility of
the Premises caused by such Condemnation. Condemnation awards and/or payments
shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as
compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, the value of the part
taken, or for severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be
entitled to any compensation for Lessee's relocation expense, loss of business
goodwill and/or Trade Fixtures, without regard to whether or not this Lease is
terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph. All Alterations and
Utility Installations made to the Premises by Lessee, for purposes of
Condemnation only, shall be considered the property of the Lessee and Lessee
shall be entitled to any and all compensation which is payable therefor. In the
event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of the Condemnation, Lessor
shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by such Condemnation.
15. Brokers' Fee.
15.1 Additional Commission. In addition to the payment sowed pursuant
to paragraph 1.10 above, and unless Lessor and the Brokers otherwise agree in
writing, Lessor agrees that: (a) if Lessee exercises any Option, (b) if Lessee
acquires any rights to the Premises or other premises owned by Lessor and
located within the same Project, if any, within which the Premises is located,
(c) if Lessee remains in possess of the Premises, with the consent of Lessor,
after the expiration of this Lease, or (d) if Base Rent is increased, whether by
agreement or operation of an escalation clause herein, then, Lessor shall pay
Brokers a fee in accordance with the schedule of said Brokers in effect at the
time of the execution of this Lease.
15.2 Assumption of Obligations. Any buyer or transferee of Lessor's
interest in this Lease shall be deemed to have assumed Lessor's obligation
hereunder. Each Broker shall be a third party beneficiary of the provisions of
Paragraphs 1.10, 15, 22 and 31. If Lessor fails to pay to a Broker any amounts
due as and for commissions pertaining to this Lease when due, then such amounts
shall accrue interest. In addition, if Lessor fails to pay any amounts to
Lessee's Broker when due, Lessee's Broker may send written notice to Lessor and
Lessee of such failure and if Lessor fails to pay such amounts within ten (10)
days after said notice, Lessee shall pay said monies to its Broker and offset
such amounts against Rent. In addition, Lessee's Broker shall be deemed to be a
third party beneficiary of any commission agreement entered into by and/or
between Lessor and Lessor's Broker.
15.3 Representations and Indemnities of Broker Relationships. Lessee
and Lessor each represent and warrant to the other that it has had no dealings
with any person, firm, broker or finder (other than the Brokers, if any) in
connection with this Lease, and that no one other than said named Brokers is
entitled to any commission or finder's fee in connection herewith. Lessee and
Lessor do each hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other
harmless from and against liability for compensation or charges which may be
claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or other similar party by reason of
any dealings or actions of the indemnifying Party, including any costs,
expenses, attorney's fees reasonably incurred with respect thereto.
16. Tenancy Statement/Estoppel Certificate
16.1 Each party (as "Responding Party") shall within ten (10) days'
prior written notice from the other Party (the "Requesting Party") execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party and estoppel certificate in
writing, in form similar to the then most current "Tenancy Statement" form
published by the American Industrial Real Estate Association, plush such
additional information, confirmation and/or statements as may be reasonably
requested by the Requested Party.
16.2 If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, or
any part thereof, Lessee and all Guarantors shall deliver to any potential

transfer or assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the
prior Lessor shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations
and/or covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor.
Subject to the foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in this lease to be
performed by the Lessor shall be binding only upon the Lessor as hereinabove
defined. Notwithstanding the above, the original lessor under this lease, and
all subsequent holders of the Lessor's interest in this Lease shall remain
liable and responsible with regard to the potential duties and liabilities of
Lessor pertaining to hazardous Substances as outlined in paragraph 6 above and
the addendum.

Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to the Brokers that it has made,
and is relying solely upon, its own investigation as to the nature, quality,

to the nature, quality and character of the Premises. Brokers have no
responsibility with respect thereto or with respect to any default or breach
hereof by either party. The liability (including court costs and Attorney's
fees), of any Broker with respect to negotiation, execution, delivery or
performance by either Lessor or Lessee under this Lease or any amendment or
modification hereto shall be limited to an amount up to the fee received by such
Broker pursuant to this lease; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation

willful misconduct of such Broker.

Express mail, with postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission, and shall be

The addresses noted adjacent to a Party's signature on this Lease shall be that
Party's address for delivery or mailing of notices. Either Party may by written

may from time to time hereafter designate in writing.

or condition hereof by Lessee, shall deemed a waiver of any other terms,
covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by Lessee
of the same or any other term, covenant or condition hereof. Lessor's consent
to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the
obtaining of Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any subsequent act by Lessee,
or be construed as the basis of an estoppel to enforce the provision or
provisions of this Lease requiring such consent. The acceptance of Rent
hereunder by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any Default or Breach by Lessee.

In the event that Lessee holds over, then the Base Rent shall be increased to
one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent applicable during the month
immediately preceding the expiration or termination. Nothing contained herein
shall be construed as consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee.
27. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.
28. Covenants and Conditions; Construction of Agreement. All provisions of this
Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions.
In construing this Lease, all headings and titles are for the convenience of the
parties only and shall not be considered a part of this Lease. Whenever required
by the context, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. This Lease
shall not be construed as if prepared by one of the parties, but rather
according to its fair meaning as a whole, as if both parties had prepared it.

their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed by the
laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Any litigation between the
Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be initiated in the county in which
the Premises are located.
30. Subordination; Attornment; Non-Disturbance.
30.1 Subordination. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be
subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other
hypothecation or security device (collectively, "Security Device"), now or
hereafter place upon the Premises, to any and all advances made on the security
thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, and extensions thereof. Lessee
agrees that the holders of any such Security Devices shall have no liability or
obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under this lease. Any
Lender may elect to have this Lease and/or any Option granted hereby superior to
the lien of its Security Device by giving written notice thereof to Lessee, this
Lease and such Options shall be deemed prior to such Security Device,
notwithstanding the relative dates of the documentation or recordation thereof.
30.2 Attornment. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph
30.3, lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who acquired
ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security Device, and
that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (i) be liable
for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to event occurring
prior to acquisition of ownership. (ii) be bound by prepayment of more than one
(1) month's rent.
30.3 Non-disturbance. With respect to Security Devices entered into by
Lessor after the execution of this Lease, lessee's subordination of this Lease
shall be subject to receiving a commercially reasonable non-disturbance
agreement (a "Non-Disturbance Agreement") from the Lender which Non-Disturbance
Agreement provides that Lessee's possession of the Premises, and this lease,
including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long
as Lessee is not in Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the
Premises. Further, within sixty (60) days after the execution of this Lease,
lessor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Non-Disturbance
Agreement from the holder of any pre-existing Security Device which is secured
by the Premises. In the event that Lessor is unable to provide the
Non-Disturbance Agreement within said sixty (60) days, then Lessee may, at
Lessee's option, directly contact lessor's lender and attempt to negotiate for
the execution and delivery of a Non-Disturbance Agreement.
30.4 Self-Executing. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30
shall be effective without the execution of any further documents; provided,
however, that, upon written request from lessor or a Lender in connection with a
sale, financing or refinancing of the Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute
such further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any
subordination, attornment and/or Non-Disturbance Agreement provided for herein.
31. Attorneys' Fees. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding to
enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as
hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be
entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same
suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such action or proceeding
is pursuant to decision or
PAGE 10 Initials /s/RBG /s/DBR
<PAGE>
judgment. The term, "Prevailing Party" shall include, without limitation, a
Party or Broker who substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the
case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by
the other Party or Broker of its claim or defense. The attorneys' fees award
shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be
such as to fully reimburse all attorney's fees reasonably incurred. In addition,
lessor shall be entitled to attorney's fees, costs and expenses incurred in the
preparation and service of notices of Default and consultations in connection
therewith, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection
with such Default or resulting Breach.
32. Lessor's Access; Showing Premises; Repairs. Lessor and lessor's agents shall
have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an emergency,
and otherwise at reasonable times for the purpose of showing the same to
prospective purchases, lenders, or lessees, and making such alterations,
repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises as Lessor is entitled to make
under the Lease. All such activities shall be without abatement of rent or
liability to Lessee. Lessor may at any time place on the premises any ordinary
"For Sale" signs and Lessor may during the last six (6) months of the term
hereof place on the premises any ordinary "for Lease" signs. Lessee may at any
time place on or about the Premises any ordinary "for sublease" sign.
33. Auctions. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, any auction
upon the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessor shall not be
obligated to exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining whether to
permit an auction.
34. Signs. Except for ordinary "For Sublease" signs, lessee shall not place any
sign upon the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. All signs must
comply with all Applicable Requirements.
35. Termination; Merger. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by
Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual
termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for Breach
by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the
Premises; provided, however, that Lessor may elect to continue any one or all
existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days following any such
event to elect to the contrary by written notice to the holder of any such
lesser interest, shall constitute Lessor's election to have such event
constitute the termination of such interest.
36. Consents. Except as otherwise provided herein, wherever in this Lease the
consent of a Party is required to an act by or for the other party, such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lessor's actual reasonable costs
and expenses (including but not limited to architects', attorneys', engineers'
and other consultants' fees) incurred in the consideration of, or response to, a
request by Lessee for any Lessor consent, including but not limited to consents
to an assignment, a subletting or the presence or use of a Hazardous Substance,
shall be paid by Lessee upon receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation
therefor. Lessor's consent to any act, assignment or subletting shall not
constitute an acknowledgment that no Default or Breach by Lessee of this lease
exists, nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing Default
or Breach, except as may be otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor
at the time of such consent. The failure to specify herein any particular
condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the imposition by Lessor at the
time of consent of such further or other conditions as are then reasonable with
reference to the particular matter for which consent is being given. In the
event that either Party disagrees with any determination made by the other
hereunder and reasonably requests the reasons for such determination, the
determining party shall furnish its reasons in writing and in reasonable detail
within ten 910) business days following such request.
37. Guarantor

in the form most recently published by the American Industrial Real Estate

guarantor fails or refuses, upon request to provide: (a) evidence of the

Guarantor, a certified copy of a resolution of its board of directors

during the period commencing from the giving of notice of Default and continuing

time Lessee is in Breach of this Lease, or (iv) in the event that Lessee has
been given three (3) or more notices of Default, whether or not the defaults are
cured, during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the exercise of
the Option.
(b) The period of time within which an Option may be exercised
shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability to exercise an
Option because of the provisions of paragraph 39.4(a).
(c) An Option shall terminate and be of no further force or
effect, notwithstanding Lessee's due and timely exercise of the Option, if,

restrictions do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by
Lessee. Lessee agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested by Lessor to
effectuate any such easement rights, dedication, map or restrictions.
43. Performance Under Protest. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any
amount or sum of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the provisions
hereof, the Party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall
have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment shall not be
regarded as a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right on the part

Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the United States to Lessor at the
address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other places as Lessor
may designate in writing.
4.2 Special Net Lease. This Lease is what is commonly called a "Net,
Net, Net Lease", it being understood that the Lessor shall receive the rent set
forth in Paragraph 4.1 free and clear of any and all other impositions, taxes,
liens, charges or expenses of any nature whatsoever in connection with the
ownership and operation of the Premises. In addition to the rent reserved by
Paragraph 4.1, Lessee shall pay to the parties respectively entitled thereto all
impositions, insurance premiums, operating charges, maintenance charges,
construction costs, and any other charges, costs and expenses which arise or may
be contemplated under any provisions of this Lease during the term hereof. All
of such charges, costs and expenses shall constitute additional rent, and upon
the failure of Lessee to pay any of such costs, charges or expenses, Lessor
shall have the same rights and remedies as otherwise provided in this Lease for
the failure of Lessee to pay rent. It is the intention of the parties hereto
that Lessee shall in no event be entitled to any abatement of or reduction in
rent payable under this Lease, except as herein expressly provided. Any present
or future law to the contrary shall not alter this agreement of the parties.
5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof
$25,144.00 (See Addendum) as security for Lessee's faithful performance of
Lessee's obligations hereunder. If Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due
hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease,
Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said deposit for the
payment of any rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other
sum to which Lessor may become obligated by reason of Lessee's default, or to
compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor may suffer thereby. If
Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, Lessee shall
within ten (10) days after written demand therefor deposit cash with Lessor in
an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full amount hereinabove
stated and Lessee's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease.
Lessor shall not be required to keep said deposit separate from its general
accounts. If Lessee performs all of Lessee's obligations hereunder, said
deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Lessor, shall
be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to
Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to that last assignee, if any, of Lessee's
interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof, and after Lessee has
vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created herein between Lessor and
Lessee with respect to said Security Deposit.
6. Use.
6.1 Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for light
manufacturing, research laboratories, and office or any other use which is
reasonably comparable and for no other purpose.
6.2 Compliance with Law.
(a) Lessor warrants to Lessee that the Premises, in its state
existing on the date that the Lease term commences, but without regard to the
use for which Lessee will use the Premises, does not violate any covenants or
restrictions of record, or any applicable building code, regulation or ordinance
in effect on such Lease term commencement date. In the event it is determined
that this warranty has been violated, then it shall be the obligation of the
Lessor, after written notice from Lessee, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost and
expense, rectify any such violation. In the event Lessee does not give to Lessor
written notice of the violation of this warranty within six months from the date
that the Lease term commences, the correction of same shall be the obligation of
the Lessee at Lessee's sole cost. The warranty contained in this paragraph 6.2
(a) shall be of no force or effect if, prior to the date of this Lease, Lessee
was the owner or occupant of the Premises, and, in such event, Lessee shall
correct any such violation at Lessee's sole cost.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph 6.2(a), Lessee shall, at
Lessee's expense, comply promptly with all applicable statutes, ordinances,
rules, regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and
requirements in effect during the term or any part of the term hereof,
regulating the use by Lessee of the Premises. Lessee shall not use nor permit
the use of the Premises in any manner that will tend to create waste or a
nuisance or, if there shall be more than one tenant in the building containing
the Premises, shall tend to disturb such other tenants.
6.3 Condition of Premises
(a) Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee clean and free
of debris on Lease commencement date (unless Lessee is already in possession)
and Lessor further warrants to Lessee that the plumbing, lighting, air
conditioning, heating, and loading doors in the Premises shall be in good
operating condition on the Lease commencement date. In the event that it is
determined that this warranty has been violated, then it shall be the obligation
of Lessor, after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with
specificity the nature of the violation, to promptly, at Lessor's sole cost,
rectify such violation. Lessee's failure to give such written notice to Lessor
within thirty (30) days after the Lease commencement date shall cause the
conclusive presumption that Lessor has complied with all of Lessor's obligations
hereunder. The warranty contained in this paragraph 6.3(a) shall be of no force
or effect if prior to the date of this Lease, Lessee was the owner or occupant
of the Premises.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby
accepts the Premises in their condition existing as of the Lease commencement
date or the date that Lessee takes possession of the Premises, whichever is
earlier, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and state laws,
ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the use of the Premises, and
any covenants or restrictions of record, and accepts this Lease subject thereto
and to all matters disclosed thereby and by any exhibits attached hereto. Lessee
acknowledges that neither Lessor nor Lessor's agent has made any representation
or warranty as to the present or future suitability of the Premises for the
conduct of Lessee's business.

(This is a special form containing unique provisions and should only be used in
special situations where the LESSEE will pay rent under all circumstances and in
the event of destruction the LESSEE will rebuild under all circumstances.)
<PAGE>
7. Maintenance, Repairs and Alterations.
7.1 Lessee's Obligations. Lessee shall keep in good order, condition
and repair the Premises and every part thereof, structural and non structural,
(whether or not such portion of the Premises requiring repair, or the means of
repairing the same are reasonably or readily accessible to Lessee, and as a
result of Lessee's use, the elements or the age of such portion of the Premises)
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all plumbing,
heating, air conditioning, (Lessee shall procure and maintain, at Lessee's
expense, an air conditioning system maintenance contract) ventilating,
electrical, lighting facilities and equipment within the Premises, fixtures,
walls (interior and exterior), foundations, ceilings, roofs (interior and
exterior), floors, windows, doors, plate glass and skylights located within the
Premises, and all landscaping, driveways, parking lots, fences and signs located
on the Premises and sidewalks and parkways adjacent to the Premises.
7.2 Surrender. On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner
termination, Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in the same condition
as when received, ordinary wear and tear excepted, clean and free of debris.
Lessee shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation or
removal of Lessee's trade fixtures, furnishings and equipment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee shall leave the
air lines, power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures,
space heaters, air conditioning, plumbing and fencing on the premises in good
operating condition.
7.3 Lessor's Rights. If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's obligations
under this Paragraph 7, or under any other paragraph of this Lease, Lessor may
at its option (but shall not be required to) enter upon the Premises after ten
(10) days' prior written notice to Lessee (except in the case of an emergency,
in which case no notice shall be required), perform such obligations on Lessee's
behalf and put the same in good order, condition and repair, and the cost
thereof together with the interest thereon at the maximum rate than allowable by
law shall become due and payable as additional rental to Lessor together with
Lessee's next rental installment.
7.4 Lessor's Obligations. Except for the obligations of Lessor under
Paragraph 6.2(a) and 6.3(a)(relating to Lessor's warranty), Paragraph 9
(relating to destruction of the Premises, and under Paragraph 14 (relating to
condemnation of the Premises), it is intended by the parties hereto that Lessor
have no obligation, in any manner whatsoever, to repair and maintain the
Premises nor the building located thereon nor the equipment therein, whether
structural or non structural, all of which obligations are intended to be that
of the Lessee under Paragraph 7.1 hereof. Lessee expressly waives the benefit of
any statute now or hereinafter in effect which would otherwise afford Lessee the
right to make repairs at Lessor's expense or to terminate this Lease because of
Lessor's failure to keep the premises in good order, condition and repair.
7.5 Alterations and Additions
(a) Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent
make any alterations, improvements, additions, or Utility installations in, on
or about the Premises, except for nonstructural alterations not exceeding
$50,000.00 in cumulative costs during the term of this Lease. In any event,
whether or not in excess of $50,000.00 in cumulative cost, Lessee shall make no
change or alteration to the exterior of the Premises nor the exterior of the
building(s) on the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. As used in
this Paragraph 7.5 the term "Utility Installation" shall mean carpeting, window
coverings, air lines, power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting
fixtures, space heaters, air conditioning, plumbing, and fencing. Lessor may
require that Lessee remove any or all of said alterations, improvements,
additions or Utility Installations at the expiration of the term, and restore
the Premises to their prior condition. Lessor may require Lessee to provide
Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an
amount equal to one times the estimated cost of such improvements, to insure
Lessor against any liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens and to
insure completion of the work. Should Lessee make any alterations, improvements,
additions or Utility Installations without the prior approval of Lessor, Lessor
may require that Lessee remove any or all of the same.
(b) Any alterations, improvements, additions or Utility Installations
in, or about the Premises that Lessee shall desire to make and which requires
the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to Lessor in written form, with
proposed detailed plans. If Lessor shall give its consent, the consent shall be
deemed conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from appropriate
governmental agencies, the furnishing of a copy thereof to Lessor prior to the
commencement of the work and the compliance by Lessee of all conditions of said
permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.
(c) Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials
furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for use in
the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanics' or
materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein. Lessee shall
give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the commencement of any
work in the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post notices of
non-responsibility in or on the Premises as provided by law. If Lessee shall, in
good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee
shall, at its sole expense defend itself and Lessor against the same and shall
pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before
the enforcement thereof against the Lessor or the Premises, upon the condition
that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety bond
satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to such contested lien claim or demand
indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same and holding the Premises free
from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require Lessee to
pay Lessor's attorneys fees and costs in participating in such action if Lessor
shall decide it is to its best interest to do so.
(d) Unless Lessor requires their removal, as set forth in Paragraph
7.5(a), all alterations, improvements, additions and Utility Installations
(whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade fixtures of Lessee),
which may be made on the Premises, shall become the property of Lessor and
remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the term.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 7.5(d), Lessee's machinery and
equipment, other than that which is affixed to the Premises so that it cannot be
removed without material damage to the Premises(which cannot thereby be restored
to their original condition, normal wear and tear excepted), shall remain the
property of Lessee and may be removed by Lessee subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 7.2.
8. Insurance Indemnity.
8.1 Insuring Party. As used in this Paragraph 8, the term "insuring
party" shall mean the party who has the obligation to obtain the Property
Insurance required hereunder. The insuring party shall be designated in
Paragraph 46 hereof. In the event Lessor is the insuring party, Lessor shall
also maintain the liability insurance described in paragraph 8.2 hereof, in
addition to, and not in lieu of, the insurance required to be maintained by
Lessee under said paragraph 8.2, but Lessor shall not be required to name Lessee
as an additional insured on such policy. Whether the insuring party is the
Lessor or the Lessee, Lessee shall, as additional rent for the Premises, pay the
cost of all insurance required hereunder, except for that portion of the cost
attributable to Lessor's liability insurance coverage in excess of $1,000,000
per occurrence. If Lessor is the insuring party Lessee shall, within ten (10)
days following demand by Lessor, reimburse Lessor for the cost of the insurance
so obtained.
8.2 Liability Insurance. Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense obtain and
keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of Combined Single Limit,
Bodily Injury and Property Damage insurance insuring Lessor and Lessee against
any liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the
Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be a combined
single limit policy in an amount not less than $500,000 per occurrence. The
policy shall insure performance by Lessee of the indemnity provisions of this
Paragraph 8. The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the
liability of Lessee hereunder.
8.3 Property Insurance.
(a) The insuring party shall obtain and keep in force during
the term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage
to the Premises, in the amount of the full replacement value thereof, as the
same may exist from time to time, which replacement value is now $1.4 million,
but in no event less than the total amount required by lenders having liens on
the Premises, against all perils included within the classification of fire,
extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, flood (in the event same is
required by a lender having a lien on the Premises), and special extended perils
("all risk" as such term is used in the insurance industry). Said insurance
shall provide for payment of loss thereunder to Lessor or to the holders of
mortgages or deeds of trust on the Premises. The insuring party shall, in
addition, obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of
rental value insurance covering a period of one year, with loss payable to
Lessee, which insurance shall also cover all real estate taxes and insurance
costs for said period. A replacement value endorsement deleting the coinsurance
provision of the policy shall be procured with said insurance as well as an
automatic increase in insurance endorsement causing the increase in annual
property insurance coverage. If the insuring party shall fail to procure and
maintain said insurance the other party may, but shall not be required to,
procure and maintain the same, but at the expense of Lessee. If such insurance
coverage has a deductible clause, the deductible amount shall not exceed
$5,000.00 per occurrence, and Lessee shall be liable for such deductible amount.
(b) If the Premises are part of a larger building, or if the
Premises are part of a group of buildings owned by Lessor which are adjacent to
the Premises, then Lessee shall pay for any increase in the property insurance
of such other building or buildings if said increase is caused by Lessee's acts,
omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.
(c) If the Lessor is the insuring party the Lessor will not
insure Lessee's fixtures, equipment or tenant improvements unless the tenant
improvements have become a part of the Premises under paragraph 7, hereof. But
if Lessee is the insuring party the Lessee shall insure its fixtures, equipment
and tenant improvements.
8.4 Insurance Policies. Insurance required hereunder shall be in
companies holding a "General Policyholders Rating" of at least B plus, or such
other rating as may be required by a lender having a lien on the Premises, as
set forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide". The insuring
party shall deliver to the other party copies of policies of such insurance or
certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance with loss
payable clauses as required by this paragraph 8. No such policy shall be
cancellable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except
after thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lessor. If Lessee is the
insuring party Lessee shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
of such policies, furnish Lessor with renewals or "binders" thereof, or Lessor
may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which amount
shall be payable by Lessee upon demand. Lessee shall not do or permit to be done
anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies referred to in Paragraph
8.3. If Lessee does or permits to be done anything which shall increase the cost
of the insurance policies referred to in Paragraph 8.3, then Lessee shall
forthwith upon Lessor's demand reimburse Lessor for any additional premiums
attributable to any act or omission or operation of Lessee causing such increase
in the cost of insurance. If Lessor is the insuring party, and if the insurance
policies maintained hereunder cover other improvements in addition to the
Premises, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a written statement setting forth the
amount of any such insurance cost increase and showing in reasonable detail the
manner in which it has been computed.
8.5 Waiver of Subrogation. Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and
relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery against the other
for loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils insured against
under paragraph 8.3, which perils occur in, on or about the Premises, whether
due to the negligence of Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees,
contractors and/or invitees. Lessee and Lessor shall, upon obtaining the
policies of insurance required hereunder, give notice to the insurance carrier
or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this
Lease.
8.6 Indemnity. Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and
against any and all claims arising from Lessee's use of the Premises, or from
the conduct of Lessee's business or from any activity, work or things done,
permitted or suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises or elsewhere and shall
further indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all claims
arising from any breach or default
-2-
<PAGE>
in the performance of any obligation on Lessee's part to be performed under the
terms of this Lease, or arising from any negligence of the Lessee, or any of
Lessee's agents, contractors, or employees, and from and against all costs,
attorney's fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in the defense of any such
claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon; and in case any action or
proceeding be brought against Lessor by reason of any such claim, Lessee upon
notice from Lessor shall defend the same at Lessee's expense by counsel
satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee, as a material part of the consideration to
Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons, in,
upon or about the Premises arising from any cause and Lessee hereby waives all
claims in respect thereof against Lessor.
8.7 Exemption of Lessor from Liability. Lessee hereby agrees that
Lessor shall not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of income
therefrom or for damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other property of
Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees, customers, or another person in or about
the Premises, nor shall Lessor be liable for injury to the person of Lessee,
Lessee's employees, agents or contractors whether such damage or injury is
caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from
the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other
cause, except for Lessor's negligence or breach of an express warranty contained
in this Lease, whether the said damage or injury results from conditions arising
upon the Premises or upon other portions of the building of which the Premises
are a part, or from other sources or places and regardless of whether the cause
of such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to
Lessee. Lessor shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or
neglect of any other tenant, if any, of the building in which the Premises are
located.
9. Damage, Destruction, Obligation to Rebuild, Rent Abatement.
9.1 Obligation to Rebuild. In the event that some or all of the
improvements constituting a part of the Premises or the Premises itself are
damaged or destroyed, partially or totally from any cause other than the acts or
omissions to act of Lessor, whether or not such damage or destruction is covered
by any insurance required to be maintained under Paragraph 8.3 hereof, then
Lessee shall repair, restore and rebuild the Premises to its condition existing
immediately prior to such damage or destruction and this Lease shall remain in
full force and effect. Such repair, restoration and rebuilding (all of which are
herein called "repair") shall be commenced within a reasonable time after such
damage or destruction has occurred and shall be diligently pursued to
completion, provided the damage or destruction was not caused by Lessor.
9.2 Insurance Proceeds. The proceeds of any insurance maintained under
Paragraph 8.3 hereof shall be made available to Lessee for payment of costs and
expense of repair, provided however, that such proceeds may be made available to
Lessee subject to reasonable condition including, but not limited to architect's
certification of cost, retention of percentage of such proceeds pending
recordation of a notice of completion and a lien and completion bond to insure
against mechanic's or materialmen's liens arising out of the repair and to
insure completion of the repair all at the expense of Lessee. In the event the
insurance proceeds are insufficient to cover the cost of repair, then any
amounts required over the amount of the insurance proceeds received that are
required to complete said repair shall be paid by Lessee. In the event the
insurance proceeds are not made available to Lessee within 120 days after such
damage or destruction, Lessee shall have the option for 30 days commencing on
the expiration of such 120 day period, of cancelling this Lease. If Lessee shall
exercise such option, Lessee shall have no further obligation hereunder and
shall have no claim against Lessor. Lessee, in order to exercise said option,
shall exercise said option by giving written notice to Lessor within said 30 day
period, time being of the essence.
9.3 Damage Near End of Term
(a) If the Premises are damaged or destroyed, either partially
or totally, during the last six months of the term of this Lease, Lessor may at
Lessor's option cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of occurrence of
such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's election to do so
within 30 days after the date of occurrence of such damage.
(b) Notwithstanding paragraph 9.3(a) to the contrary, in the
event that Lessee has an option to extend or renew this Lease, and the time
within which said option may be exercised has not yet expired, Lessee shall
exercise such option, if it is to be exercised at all, no later than 20 days
after damage or destruction to the Premises, either total or partial occurring
during the last six months of the term of this Lease, which damage or
destruction is covered by insurance required to be maintained under paragraph 8.
If Lessee duly exercises such option during said 20 day period Lessee shall, in
accordance with paragraph 9.2, at Lessee's expense, repair such damage as soon
as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
If Lessee fails to exercise such option during said 20 day period, then Lessor
may at Lessor's option terminate and cancel this Lease as of the expiration of
said 20 day period by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's election to do
so within 10 days after the expiration of said 20 day period, notwithstanding
any term or provision in the grant of option to the contrary.
9.4 Abatement of Rent. Notwithstanding the partial or total destruction
of the Premises and any part thereof, and notwithstanding whether the casualty
is insured or not, there shall be no abatement of rent or of any other
obligation of Lessee hereunder by reason of such damage or destruction unless
the Lease is terminated by virtue of any other provision of this Lease.
9.5 Termination - Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning
advance rent and any payments made by Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall, in
addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee's security deposit as has not
theretofore been applied by Lessor.
9.6 Waiver. Lessee waives the provisions of any statutes which relate
to termination of leases when the thing leased is destroyed and agrees that such
event shall be governed by the terms of this Lease.
10. Real Property Taxes.
10.1 Payment of Taxes. Lessee shall pay the real property tax, as
defined in paragraph 10.2, applicable to the Premises during the term of this
Lease. All such payments shall be made at least ten (10) days prior to the
delinquency date of such payment. Lessee shall promptly furnish Lessor with
satisfactory evidence that such taxes have been paid. If any such taxes paid by
Lessee shall cover any period of time prior to or after the expiration of the
term hereof, Lessee's share of such taxes shall be equitably prorated to cover
only the period of time within the tax fiscal year during which this Lease shall
be in effect, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee to the extent required. If
Lessee shall fail to pay any such taxes, Lessor shall have the right to pay the
same, in which case Lessee shall repay such amount to Lessor with Lessee's next
rent installment together with interest at the maximum rate then allowable by
law.
10.2 Definition of "Real Property Tax". As used herein, the term "real
property tax" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment general,
special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial rental tax,
improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income
or estate taxes) imposed on the Premises by any authority having the direct or
indirect power to tax, including any city, state or federal government, or any
school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street, drainage or other improvement
district thereof, as against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the
Premises or in the real property of which the Premises are a part, as against
Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom, and as against Lessor's
business of leasing the Premises. The term "real property tax" shall also
include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge (i) in substitution of,
partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge hereinabove
included within the definition of "real property tax," or (ii) the nature of
which was hereinbefore included within the definition of "real property tax," or
(iii) which is imposed for a service or right not charged prior to June 1, 1978,
or, if previously charged, has been increased since June 1, 1978, or (v) which
is imposed by reason of this transaction, any modifications or changes heretofor
any transfers hereof.
10.3 Joint Assessment. If the Premises are not separately assessed,
Lessee's liability shall be equitable proportion of the real property taxes for
all of the land and improvement included within the tax parcel assessed, such
proportion to be determined by Lessor from the respective valuations assigned in
the assessor's work sheets or such other information as may be reasonably
available. Lessor's reasonable determination thereof, in good faith, shall be
conclusive.
10.4 Personal Property Taxes.
(a) Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed
against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other
personal property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When
possible, Lessee shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all
other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real
property of Lessor.
(b) If any of Lessee's said personal property shall be
assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes
attributable to Lessee within 10 days after receipt of a written statement
setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee's property.
11. Utilities. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power,
telephone and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together
with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered to
Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion to be determined by Lessor of
all charges jointly metered with other premises.
12. Assignment and Subletting.
12.1 Lessor's Consent Required. Lessee shall not voluntarily or by
operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or
encumber all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises,
without Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably
withhold. Lessor shall respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder in a
timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or
subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a breach of
this Lease.
12.2 Lessee Affiliate. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 12.1
hereof, Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof,
without Lessor's consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or
is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the
merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires
all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being
conducted on the Premises, provided that said assignee assumes, in full, the
obligations of Lessee under this Lease. Any such assignment shall not, in any
way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee under the terms of this Lease even
if after such assignment or subletting the terms of this Lease are materially
changed or altered without the consent of Lessee, the consent of whom shall not
be necessary.
12.3 No Release of Lessee. Regardless of Lessor's consent, no
subletting or assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligation or alter
the primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent and to perform all other
obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of rent by
Lessor from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of any
provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed
consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of default by
any assignee of Lessee or any successor of Lessee, in the performance of any of
the terms hereof, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee without the
necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee. Lessor may consent to
subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease or amendments or
modifications to this Lease with assignees of Lessee, without notifying Lessee,
or any successor of Lessee, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto
and such action shall not relieve Lessee of liability under this Lease.
12.4 Attorney's Fees. In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the
Premises or request the consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting or if
Lessee shall request the consent of Lessor for any act Lessee proposes to do
then Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys fees incurred in connection
therewith, such attorneys fees not to exceed $350.00 for each request.

13. Defaults; Remedies.
13.1 Defaults. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Lessee:
(a) The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee.
(b) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any
other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, where
such failure shall continue for a period of three days after written notice
thereof from Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a
Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer statutes
such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice required by
this subparagraph.
(c) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by
Lessee, other than described in paragraph (b) above, where such failure shall
continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof from Lessor to
Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's default is such that
more than 30 days are reasonably required for its cure, then Lessee shall not be
deemed to be in default if Lessee commenced such cure within said 30-day period
and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
(d) (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becomes a "debtor" as
defined in 11 U.S.C. &101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case
of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within 60 days); (iii)
the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all
of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this
Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within 30 days; or (iv) the
attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's
assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within 30 days. Provided, however, in the event that
any provision of this paragraph 13.1(d) is contrary to any applicable law, such
provision shall be of no force or effect.
(e) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given
to Lessor by Lessee, any assignee of Lessee, any subtenant of Lessee, any
successor in interest of Lessee or any guarantor of Lessee's obligation
hereunder, and any of them, was materially false.
13.2 Remedies. In the event of any such material default or breach by
Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and
without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may
have by reason of such default or breach:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by
any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall
immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event Lessor
shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by Lessor by
reason of Lessee's default including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises; expenses of reletting, including necessary
renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorney's fees, and any
real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by the
court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the
balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided;
that portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 15
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.
(b) Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case this
Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have abandoned the
Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor's
rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as
it becomes due hereunder.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to
Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises
are located. Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations
of Lessee under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at
the maximum rate then allowable by law.
13.3 Default by Lessor. Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor
fails to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time, but in
no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to Lessor
and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises
whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Lessee in
writing, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation;
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more
than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Lessor shall not be in
default if Lessor commences performance within such 30-day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes the same to completion.
13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be
extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to,
processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on
Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall
not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such
amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount. The
parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee.
Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver
of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event
that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3)
consecutive installments of rent, then rent shall automatically become due and
payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly, notwithstanding paragraph 4
or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary.
13.5 Impounds. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder,
whether or not collected, for three (3) installments of rent or any other
monetary obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor, if Lessor shall so request, in addition to any other payments required
under this Lease, a monthly advance installment, payable at the same time as the
monthly rent, as estimated by Lessor, for real property tax and insurance
expenses on the Premises which are payable by Lessee under the terms of this
Lease. Such fund shall be established to insure payment when due, before
delinquency, of any or all such real property taxes and insurance premiums. If
the amounts paid to Lessor by Lessee under the provisions of this paragraph are
insufficient to discharge the obligations of Lessee to pay such real property
taxes and insurance premiums as the same become due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor,
upon Lessor's demand such additional sums necessary to pay such obligations. All
moneys paid to Lessor under this paragraph may be intermingled with other moneys
of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In the event of a default in the
obligations of Lessee to perform under this Lease, then any balance remaining
from funds paid to Lessor under the provisions of this paragraph may, at the
option of Lessor, be applied to the payment of any monetary default of Lessee in
lieu of being applied to the payment of real property tax and insurance
premiums.
14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the
power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power
(all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as
to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever first occurs. If more than 10% of the floor area of the
building on the Premises, or more than 25% of the land area of the Premises
which is not occupied by any building, is taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at
Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing only within ten (10) days after
Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence
of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority shall have
taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority
takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance
with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the
portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent shall be reduced in the
proportion that the floor area of the building taken bears to the total floor
area of the building situated on the Premises. No reduction of rent shall occur
if the only area taken is that which does not have a building located thereon.
Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the power of
eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power
shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as
compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the
fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled
to any award for loss of or damage to Lessee's trade fixtures and removable
personal property. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of
such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages received by
Lessor in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises
caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed
therefor by the condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of
such severance damages required to complete such repair.

16. Estoppel Certificate.
(a) Lessee shall at any time upon not less than ten (10) days' prior
written notice from Lessor execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a
statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full
force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and
certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the
date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (ii)
acknowledging that there are not, to Lessee's knowledge, any uncured defaults on
the part of Lessor hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed.
Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser
or encumbrancer of the Premises.
(b) At Lessor's option, Lessee's failure to deliver such statement
within such time shall be a material breach of this Lease or shall be conclusive
upon Lessee (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Lessor, (ii) that there are no
uncured defaults in Lessor's performance, and (iii) that not more than one
month's rent has been paid in advance or such failure may be considered by
Lessor as a default by Lessee under this Lease.
(c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, or
any part thereof, Lessee agrees to deliver to any lender or purchaser designated
by Lessor such published financial statements of Lessee as may be reasonably
required by such lender or purchaser. Such statements shall include the past
three years' financial statements of Lessee. All such financial statements shall
be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be
used only for the purposes herein set forth.

17. (Deleted)
18. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any
other provision hereof.
19. Interest on Past-due Obligations. Except as expressly herein provided, any
amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum rate
then allowable by law from the date due. Payment of such interest shall not
excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease, provided, however, that
interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee nor on any
amounts upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.
20. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence.
21. Additional Rent. Any monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the
terms of this Lease shall be deemed to be rent.
22. Incorporation of Prior Agreements; Amendments. This Lease contains all
agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No prior
agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective.
This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties in interest at
the time of the modification. Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee
hereby acknowledges that neither the real estate broker listed in Paragraph 15
hereof nor any cooperating broker on this transaction nor the Lessor or any
employees or agents of any of said persons has made any oral or written
warranties or representations to Lessee relative to the condition or use by
Lessee of said Premises and Lessee acknowledges that Lease assumes all
responsibility regarding the Occupational Safety Health Act, the legal use and
adaptability of the Premises and the compliance thereof with all applicable laws
and regulations in effect during the term of this Lease except as otherwise
specifically stated in this Lease.
23. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and may be given by personal delivery or by certified mail, and if given
personally or by mail, shall be deemed sufficiently given if addressed to Lessee
or to Lessor at the address noted below the signature of the respective parties,
as the case may be. Either party may by notice to the other specify a different
address for notice purposes except that upon Lessee's taking possession of the
Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee's address for notice purposes. A
copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall
be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor
may from time to time hereafter designate by notice to Lessee.
24. Waivers. No waiver by Lessor or any provision hereof shall be deemed a
waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of
the same or any other provision. Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act
shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to
or approval of any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by
Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision
hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted,
regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of
acceptance of such rent.
25. Recording. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a "short form" memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes.
26. Holding Over. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession of the
Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof, such
occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the provisions of this
Lease pertaining to the obligations of Lessee, but all options and rights of
first refusal, if any, granted under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed
terminated and be of no further effect during said month to month tenancy.
27. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.
28. Covenants and Conditions. Each provision of this Lease performable by Lessee
shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.
29. Binding Effect; Choice of Law. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting
assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provisions of Paragraph
17, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal representatives,
successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State
wherein the Premises are located.
30. Subordination.
(a) This Lease, at Lessor's option, shall be subordinate to any ground
lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or security now or
hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part and to
any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Notwithstanding such subordination; Lessee's right to quiet possession of the
Premises shall not be disturbed if Lessee is not in default and so long as
Lessee shall pay the rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this
Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms. If any
mortgage, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior to the
lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written
notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage,
deed of trust, or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent
to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the date of
recording thereof.
(b) Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an
attornment, a subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be. Lessee's failure to
execute such documents within 10 days after written demand shall constitute a
material default by Lessee hereunder, or, at Lessor's option, Lessor shall
execute such documents on behalf of Lessee as Lessee's attorney-in-fact. Lessee
does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Lessor as Lessee's
attorney-in-fact and in Lessee's name, place and stead, to execute such
documents in accordance with this paragraph 30(b).
31. Attorney's Fees. If either party or the broker named herein brings an action
to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party in
any such action, on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to his reasonable
attorney's fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the court. The
provisions of this paragraph shall inure to the benefit of the broker named
herein who seeks to enforce a right hereunder.
32. Lessor's Access. Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to enter
the Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same, showing
the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or leases, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
building of which they are a part as Lessor may deem necessary or desirable.
Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Sale"
signs and Lessor may at any time during the last 120 days of the term hereof
place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs, all without
rebate of rent or liability to Lessee.
33. Auctions. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first having
obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard
of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.
34. Signs. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises without Lessor's
prior written consent except that Lessee shall have the right, without the prior
permission of Lessor to place ordinary and usual for rent or sublet signs
thereon.
35. Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a
mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Lessor, shall not work a
merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing
subtenancies or may, at the option of Lessor, operate at an assignment to Lessor
of any or all of such subtenancies.
36. Consents. Except for paragraph 33 hereof, wherever in this Lease the consent
of one party is required to an act of the other party such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
37. Guarantor. In the event that there is a guarantor of this Lease, said
guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.
38. Quiet Possession. Upon Lessee paying the rent for the Premises and observing
and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Lessee's part
to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee shall have quiet possession of
the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the provisions of this
Lease. The individuals executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor represent and
warrant to Lessee that they are fully authorized and legally capable of
executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor represent and warrant to Lessee that
they are fully authorized and legally capable of executing this Lease on behalf
of Lessor and that such execution is binding upon all parties holding an
ownership interest in the Premises.
39. Options.
39.1 Definition. As used in this paragraph the word "Options" has the
following meaning: (1) the right or option to extend the term of this Lease or
to renew this Lease or to extend or renew any lease that Lessee has on the other
property of Lessor; (2) the option or right of first refusal to lease the
Premises or the right of first offer to lease the Premises or the right of first

involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than Lessee, provided,
however, the Option may be exercised by or assigned to any Lessee Affiliate as
defined in paragraph 12.2 of this Lease. The Options herein granted to Lessee
are not assignable separate and apart from this Lease.
39.3 Multiple Options. In the event that Lessee has any multiple
options to extend or renew this Lease a later option cannot be exercised unless
the prior option to extend or renew this Lease has been so exercised.

<PAGE>
39.4 Effect of Default on Options.
(a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option,
notwithstanding any provision in the grant of Option to the contrary, (i) during
the time commencing from the date Lessor gives to Lessee a notice of default
pursuant to paragraph 13.1(b) or 13.1(c) and continuing until the default
alleged in said notice of default is cured, or (ii) during the period of time
commencing on the day after a monetary obligation to Lessor is due from Lessee
and unpaid (without any necessity for notice thereof to Lessee) continuing until
the obligation is paid, or (iii) at any time after an event of default described
in paragraphs 13.1(a), 13.1(d), or 13.1(e) (without any necessity of Lessor to
give notice of such default to Lessee), or (iv) in the event that Lessor has
given to Lessee three or more notices of default under paragraph 13.1(b), where
a late charge has become payable under paragraph 13.4 for each of such defaults,
or paragraph 13.1(c), whether or not the defaults are cured, during the 12 month
period prior to the time that Lessee intends to exercise the subject Option.
(b) The period of time within which an Option may be exercised
shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability to exercise an
Option because of the provisions of paragraph 39.4(a).
(c) All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an Option
shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee's
due and timely exercise of the Option, if, after, such exercise and during the
term of this Lease, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary obligation of
Lessee for a period of 30 days after such obligation becomes due (without any
necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof to Lessee), or (ii) Lessee fails to
commence to cure a default specified in paragraph 13.1(c) within 30 days after
the date that Lessor gives notice to Lessee of such default and/or Lessee fails
thereafter to diligently prosecute said cure to completion, or (iii) Lessee
commits a default described in paragraph 13.1(a), 13,1(d) or 13.1 (e) (without
any necessity of Lessor to give notice of such default to Lessee), or (iv)
Lessor gives to Lessee three or more notices of default under paragraph 13.1(b),

keep and observe all reasonable rules and regulations which Lessor may make from
time to time for the management, safety, care, and cleanliness of the building
and grounds, the parking of vehicles and the preservation of good order therein
as well as for the convenience of other occupants and tenants of the building.

Lessor hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security
measures, and that Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide same.

interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee shall sign any of the
aforementioned documents upon request of Lessor and failure to do so shall
constitute a material breach of this Lease.

amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other under the provisions
hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall
have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment shall not be
regarded as voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right on the part of
said party of institute suit for recovery of each sum. If it shall be adjudged

part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover such sum or so much
thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the provisions of this
Lease.

partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such entity

ADDENDUM TO LEASE
ADDENDUM to lease dated October 12, 1992 between XOMA Corporation,
("XOMA"), Lessee, and Virginia Merritt as Trustee of the Bowman and Virginia
Merritt as Trustee of the Bowman and Virginia Merritt Trust ("Merritt"), Lessor,
for approximately 18,000 sq. ft. at 1545 17th Street, Santa Monica, California
90404.
Paragraph 47.1. The minimum monthly rent provided for in Paragraph 4 shall be
subject to adjustment at the 1994 anniversary of the commencement date of the
lease and every other year thereafter ("the adjustment date") as follows:
The base for computing the adjustment is the Los Angeles-Long
Beach-Anaheim All Urban Workers, published by United States Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics ("Index"), which is in effect on the date of the
commencement of the term ("Beginning Index"). The index published most
immediately preceding the adjustment date in question ("Extension Index") is to
be used in determining the amount of the adjustment. If the Extension Index has
increased over the Beginning Index, the minimum monthly rent for the following
two years (until the next rent adjustment) shall be set by multiplying the
minimum monthly rent set forth in paragraph 4 by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the Extension Index and the denominator of which is the Beginning
Index. In no case shall the minimum monthly rent set forth in paragraph 4 by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Extension Index and the denominator of
which is the Beginning Index. In no case shall the minimum monthly rent be less
than the monthly rent in effect immediately prior to the adjustment date then
occurring. On adjustment of the minimum monthly rent as provided in this lease,
lessee shall immediately commence to pay the new monthly rent retroactive to the
adjustment date and the parties shall immediately execute an amendment to this
lease stating the new minimum monthly rent.
If the Index has changed so that the base year differs from that in
effect when the term commences, the Index shall be converted in accordance with
the conversion factor published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics. If the Index is discontinued or revised during the term,
such other government index or computation with which it is replaced shall be
used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would be obtained if
the Index had not been discontinued or revised.
Paragraph 47.2. Lessee shall receive a credit of $25,144.00 for deposit
previously made on account of the previous lease dated August 1, 1990,
therefore, Lessee need make no additional deposit.
Paragraph 47.3. Lessee to pay premiums for fire and multi-peril insurance
chargeable against the building and the improvements during the term hereof, as
additional rent.
Paragraph 47.4. Within twelve (12) months of the date of this lease, Lessee
shall complete the construction of all Lessee improvements as appropriate, such
improvements currently having an estimated cost of $1 Million. In consideration
for said improvements, Lessee shall
<PAGE>
receive a credit of $36,000.00 against the first six months of rent, which
$36,000.00 shall be applied $6,000.00 per month commencing with the first rental
payment and continuing for the following five months.

THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT is made and is effective this 3rd day of September
1986 by and between THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, a California
corporation having statewide administrative offices at 2199 Addison Street,
Berkeley, California 94720, hereinafter referred to as "The Regents", and XOMA
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation having a principal place of business at 2910
Seventh Street, Berkeley, California 94710, hereinafter referred to as
"Licensee".
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, certain inventions, generally characterized as MONOCLONAL
ANTIBODIES TO GRAM NEGATIVE SEPSIS-RELATED BACTERIA AND DIAGNOSTICS AND
THERAPEUTICS DERIVED THEREFROM, hereinafter collectively referred to as "the
Invention", were made by Lowell Young at the University of California, Los
Angeles and are covered by The Regents' Patent Rights as defined below;
WHEREAS, Licensee has funded the total direct and indirect costs of
research on the Invention at the University of California, Los Angeles under the
Service to Industry Agreement
<PAGE>
between Licensee and The Regents entitled "Monoclonal Antibodies Against
Virulent Factors of Gram Negative Bacilli" and dated October 30, 1981 as
amended;
WHEREAS, Licensee agrees that part of the consideration for this Agreement
is the expectancy of receiving access to The Hybridomas as defined in paragraph
1.2 for use by Licensee in developing commercial products prior to the issuance
of a patent and, in the event a patent does not issue, prior to access to The
Hybridomas by other commercial entities, if any.

Agreement are appropriate for sales of Diagnostic Kits and Therapeutic Agents,
as defined in paragraphs 1.8 and 1.9, but may not be appropriate for sales of
component parts per se of Diagnostic Kits or Therapeutic Agents; and the parties
have therefore agreed, for their mutual convenience, to calculate all royalties
on the sale of Diagnostic Kits or Therapeutic Agents, whether sold by Licensee
or a third party which purchases component parts from Licensee and then converts
such component parts to Diagnostic Kits or Therapeutic Agents;
WHEREAS, The Regents desire that the Invention be developed and
utilized to the fullest extent so that the benefits can be enjoyed by the
general public; and
WHEREAS, Licensee is desirous of obtaining certain rights from The Regents
for the commercial development, use, and sale of the Invention, and The Regents
are willing to grant such rights.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the covenants, conditions and
undertaking hereinafter set forth, it is agreed by and between the parties, as

are contained in this Agreement with the exceptions that sublicensees shall not
be obligated to pay the License Issue Fee (paragraph 4.1) or minimum annual
royalties (paragraph 5.7) and Licensee shall be solely responsible, either
directly or through its sublicensees, for the attainment of due diligence
obligations under Article 6.
3.2 Licensee shall provide The Regents with a copy of each sublicense

contain financial terms no less favorable to the sublicensees than those
previously obtained by them from Licensee.
4. LICENSE ISSUE FEE
4.1 Licensee shall pay to The Regents a License Issue Fee of Seven Thousand
Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500.00) upon execution of this Agreement.
4.2 This fee is non-refundable and not an advance against earned royalties.
5. ROYALTIES
5.1 As consideration for this license, Licensee shall pay to The Regents an
earned royalty which shall be calculated by multiplying the royalty rate as set
forth below by the Net Sales of Licensed Products sold by Licensee or its
sublicensees. Such royalties shall accrue and be payable to The Regents,
pursuant to paragraph 5.6, when Licensed Products are sold.
For Licensed Products containing, among other things, a single
antibody, the royalty rate shall be calculated according to
subparagraphs (5.1a) through (5.1d):
(5.1a) For Therapeutic Agents which are Patent Products and do not contain
an Antibody Conjugate, the calculated royalty rate shall equal five
percent (5%) times the Cost of the Hybridoma divided by the Cost of
the Final Product; provided, however, that the immediately above
calculated royalty rate shall in no event be less than three percent
(3%). For Therapeutic Agents which are Patent Products and contain an
Antibody Conjugate, the calculated royalty rate
-9-
<PAGE>
shall equal two and one-half percent (2.5%) times the Cost of the
Hybridoma divided by the Cost of the Final Product; provided, however,
that the immediately above calculated royalty rate shall in no event
be less than two and one-quarter percent (2.25%).
(5.1b) For Therapeutic Agents which are Non-Patent Products and do not
contain an Antibody Conjugate, the calculated royalty rate shall equal
three and one-half percent (3.5%) times the Cost of the Hybridoma
divided by the Cost of the Final Product; provided, however, that the
immediately above calculated royalty rate shall in no event be less
than one and one-half percent (1.5%). For Therapeutic Agents which are
Non-Patent Products and contain an Antibody Conjugate, the calculated
royalty rate shall equal one and three-quarters percent (1.75%) times
the Cost of the Hybridoma divided by the Cost of the Final Product;
provided, however, the immediately-above calculated royalty rate shall
in no event be less than one and one-quarter percent (1.25%).
(5.1c) For Diagnostic Kits which are Patent Products, the calculated
royalty rate shall equal four percent (4%) times the Cost of the
Hybridoma divided by the Cost of the Final Product; provided, however,
that the immediately above
-10-
<PAGE>
calculated royalty rate shall in no event be less than two and
one-half percent (2.5%).
(5.1d) For Diagnostic Kits which are Non-Patent Products, the calculated
royalty rate shall equal three percent (3%) times the Cost of the
Hybridoma divided by the Cost of the Final Product; provided, however,
that the immediately above calculated royalty rate shall in no event
be less than one and one-half percent (1.5%).
For Licensed Products containing, among other things, multiple
antibodies, the royalty rate shall be calculated according to
subparagraphs (5.1e) through (5.1i):
(5.1e) For Therapeutic Agents which are Patent Products, the calculated
royalty rate shall equal three and one-half percent (3.5%) times the
Fraction; provided, however, that the immediately above calculated
royalty rate shall in no event be less than one percent (1%).
(5.1f) For Therapeutic Agents which are Non-Patent Products, the calculated
royalty rate shall equal two percent (2.0%) times the Fraction;
provided, however, that the immediately above calculated royalty rate
shall in no event be less than one-half percent (0.5%).
(5.1g) For Therapeutic Agents which contain antibodies conjugated to other
biologically active components, the adjusted royalty rate shall equal
one-half (1/2) of the royalty rate
-11-
<PAGE>
calculated according to either paragraph 5.1e or 5.1f, as appropriate;
provided, however, that the adjusted royalty rate shall in no event be
less than one percent (1.0%) for Patent Products and one-half percent
(0.5%) for Non-patent Products.
(5.1h) For Diagnostic Kits which are Patent Products, the calculated
royalty rate shall equal two and one-half percent (2.5%) times
the Fraction; provided, however, that the immediately above
calculated royalty rate shall in no event be less than one
percent (1.0%).
(5.1i) For Diagnostic Kits which are Non-Patent Products, the
calculated royalty rate shall equal one and one-half percent
(1.5%) times the Fraction; provided, however, that the
immediately above calculated royalty rate shall in no event be
less than one-half percent (0.5%).
Earned royalties under this paragraph shall be payable in full without deduction
for taxes or levies against such royalty payments by any foreign government
other than taxes levied on the sale of Licensed Products as specified in
paragraph 1.11.
5.2 If Licensee or Licensee's sublicensees sell Licensed Products which are
not Diagnostic Kits or Therapeutic Agents to a third party, the royalties due
The Regents for such sale shall be calculated from the Net Sales by the third
party of Diagnostic Kits or Therapeutic Agents made from the Licensed Products
sold
-12-
<PAGE>
by Licensee or Licensee's sublicensees. Net Sales of Licensed Products sold or
transferred to Affiliates shall be the gross invoice price of sales by the
Affiliate to third parties which are not Affiliates less the sum of the
deductions listed in paragraph 1.11, where applicable.
5.3 If the Net Sales by Licensee and Licensee's sublicensees for any
Licensed Product decrease by more than ten percent (10%) over a period of at
least six months and if a competitor offers for sale in the same geographical
market area a product which diagnoses the same disease or treats the same
indication as the Licensed Product throughout the period during which the
decrease in sales occurred, then The Regents and Licensee shall enter into good
faith negotiations to lower the royalty rate on the Licensed Product. The
negotiated royalty rate will be one which places the Licensee in a position to
competitively market the Licensed Product.
5.4 Earned royalties for Patent Products under paragraphs 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3
shall accrue in each country for the duration of Regents' Patent Rights in that
country. After the expiration of all patents within Regents' Patent Rights which
cover a Licensed Product in a country, Licensee shall have an irrevocable
paid-up license in the country under the rights granted in paragraph 2.2
pertaining to the Licensed Product.
5.5 Earned royalties for Non-Patent Products under paragraphs 5.1, 5.2 and
5.3 shall accrue in any country for a period of ten (10) years from the date of
first commercial sale in the U.S. of the Non-Patent Product or, if no sale
occurs in the U.S., for a period of ten (10) years from the date of first
-13-
<PAGE>
commercial sale of the Non-Patent Product in the country. After said ten-year
period, Licensee shall have an irrevocable paid-up license in the country to the
rights granted in paragraph 2.2 pertaining to the Non-patent Product.
5.6 Royalties owing on Licensed Products covered by pending patent
applications but not covered by any issued patents within Regents' Patent Rights
shall be assessed at the rate for Nonpatent Products. In the event Regents'
patent applications listed in paragraph 1.1 are denied, royalties owing on
Licensed Products shall be assessed at the rate for Non-patent Products.
5.7 Licensed Products shall be considered sold when invoiced or, if not
invoiced, when delivered to a third party by Licensee or its sublicensees.
5.8 Royalties accruing to The Regents shall be paid to The Regents within
sixty (60) days following the calendar quarter during which they have accrued.
5.9 Licensee shall pay to The Regents a minimum annual royalty of Fifteen
Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00), beginning with either the first full calendar
year after the approval by the FDA of the first Licensed Product or 1993,
whichever is earlier, and continuing in the amount of Twenty-five Thousand
Dollars ($25,000.00) for all subsequent years throughout the life of Regents'
Patent Rights for as long as Licensee has exclusive rights hereunder in the
United States. This minimum annual royalty shall accrue on and be paid to The
Regents by February 28 of each year and shall be credited against earned
royalties for so long as is necessary to amortize the minimum annual royalties
paid.
-14-
<PAGE>
5.10 Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph 5.10, all monies due
The Regents shall be payable in United States funds collectible at par in San
Francisco, California. If at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt
remittance of part or all royalties by Licensee or any sublicensee with respect
to any country where a Licensed Product is sold, Licensee or such sublicensee
shall have the right and option to make such payments by depositing the amount
thereof in local currency to The Regents' account in a bank or other depository
in such country.
5.11 In the event that any patent or any claim thereof included within the
Regents' Patent Rights shall be held invalid in a decision by a court of
competent jurisdiction and last resort from which no appeal has or can be taken,
all obligations to pay royalties based on such patent or claim or any claim
patentably indistinct therefrom shall cease as of the date of such decision.
Licensee shall not, however, be relieved from paying any royalties that accrued
before such decision or that are based on another patent or claim not involved
in such decision or that are based on The Regents' property rights. Royalties
for a Licensed Product which becomes a Non-Patent Product due to patent
invalidation shall accrue for a period of ten (10) years from the date of first
commercial sale of the given Licensed Product, regardless of whether the
Licensed Product was a Patent Product or a Non-patent Product at the time of
first commercial sale.
5.12 A single royalty shall be paid on sales of Licensed Products, no
matter how many items in Regents' Patent Rights or The Regents' property rights
cover such Licensed Products, and
-15-
<PAGE>
the royalty shall be assessed at the highest applicable rate for the Licensed
Product.
5.13 No royalty shall be paid on a Patent Product or a Patent Method after
Regents' Patent Rights covering said Licensed Product or Method have expired.
6. DUE DILIGENCE
6.1 Licensee, upon execution of this Agreement, shall diligently proceed
with the development, manufacture and sale of Licensed Products and shall
earnestly and diligently endeavor to market the same within a reasonable time
after execution of this Agreement in quantities sufficient to meet the market
demands therefor.
6.2 Licensee shall be entitled to exercise prudent and justifiable business
judgment in meeting its due diligence obligations hereunder.
6.3 Licensee shall endeavor to obtain all necessary approvals for the
manufacture, use and sale of Licensed Products.
6.4 Subject to the provisions of paragraph 6.2, Licensee agrees to use its
best efforts:
(6.4a) to file a Product License Application (PLA) for a therapeutic
Licensed Product with the U. S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) by January 1, 1990;
(6.4b) to market such therapeutic Licensed Product in the United States
within six (6) months after receiving approval from FDA of such
Licensed Product's PLA;
-16-
<PAGE>
(6.4c) to file a Premarket Approval Application (PMA) for a diagnostic
Licensed Product with the FDA by January 1, 1991;
(6.4d) to market such diagnostic Licensed Product in the United States
within six (6) months after receiving approval from FDA of such
Licensed Product's PMA;
(6.4e) following commencement of marketing, to reasonably fill the
market demands for Licensed Products in the United States during
the exclusive period of this Agreement.
If Licensee shall fail to fulfill its obligations relative to therapeutic
Licensed Products under subparagraphs (a), (b) and (e) above, then The Regents
shall have the right and option to reduce Licensee's exclusive license for
therapeutic Licensed Products to a nonexclusive license. If Licensee shall fail
to fulfill its obligations relative to diagnostic Licensed Products under
subparagraphs (c), (d) and (e) above, then The Regents shall have the right and
option to reduce Licensee's exclusive license for diagnostic Licensed Products
to a nonexclusive license. These rights, if exercised by The Regents, supersede
the rights granted in Article 2 (GRANT).
6.5 The Regents shall have the right to terminate Licensee's exclusive
license in any country or countries in which Licensee or Licensee's sublicensees
demonstrate a grievous failure to market Licensed Products.
6.6 Licensee shall keep The Regents informed as to the progress in the
development and testing of all Licensed Products
-17-
<PAGE>
and the preparing, filing, and obtaining of the approvals necessary for
marketing. Beginning January 1, 1987 and annually thereafter, Licensee shall
submit to The Regents a progress report covering Licensee's activities related
to the development of Licensed Products and the securing of the requisite
approvals. These reports shall be made until the first commercial sale of a
Licensed Product in the U.S.
6.7 At the request of either party, any controversy or claim arising out of
or relating to the diligence provisions of this Agreement shall be settled by
arbitration conducted in San Francisco, California in accordance with the then
current Licensing Agreement Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator(s) shall be
binding on the parties and may be entered by either party in the court or forum,
state or federal, having jurisdiction.
6.8 To exercise the right to either terminate this license or convert this
license to a nonexclusive license for lack of diligence, providing that
arbitration has not been requested, The Regents must give Licensee written
notice of the deficiency. Licensee thereafter has one hundred eighty (180) days
to cure the deficiency or to request arbitration. If The Regents have not
received a written request for arbitration or satisfactory tangible evidence
that the deficiency has been cured by the end of the one hundred eighty-day
period, then The Regents may, at their option, convert Licensee's exclusive
license to a nonexclusive license by giving written notice to Licensee.

<PAGE>
7. MOST FAVORED LICENSEE
7.1 Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if
when otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement, The Regents grant to a
third party a license under Regents' Patent Rights which contains royalty terms
more favorable than the terms of this Agreement, then The Regents shall notify
Licensee in writing of all royalty terms in such third party license. Licensee
shall have the right and option to substitute all such royalty terms for all the
respective terms of this Agreement. Such option shall be effective for a period
of sixty (60) days from the date of notice by The Regents of the terms of the
third party license and may be exercised by written notice to The Regents.
8. QUARTERLY REPORTS
8.1 Commencing with the calendar quarter in which the first commercial sale
of Licensed Products takes place, Licensee will make quarterly reports to The
Regents on or before each February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each
year. Each such report will cover Licensee's most recently completed calendar
quarter and will show (a) the gross sales and the Net Sales of Licensed Products
sold by Licensee and its sublicensees during the most recently completed
calendar quarter; (b) the applicable royalty rate and the method by which it was
calculated pursuant to paragraphs 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, including the calculation of
the Fraction; (c) the royalties, payable in U.S. dollars, which shall have
accrued hereunder with respect to such sales; (d) the exchange rates used in
determining the amount of
-19-
<PAGE>
U.S. dollars. If no sales of Licensed Products have been made during any
reporting period, a statement to this effect shall be required.
8.2 With respect to sales of Licensed Products invoiced in U.S. dollars,
the gross sales, Net Sales, and royalty payable shall be expressed in U.S.
dollars. With respect to sales of Licensed Products invoiced in currency other
than U.S. dollars, the gross sales, Net Sales, and royalty payable shall be
expressed in the domestic currency of the party making the sale together with
the U.S. dollar equivalent of the royalty payable, calculated using the

report to The Regents the date of first commercial sale in each country of a
Licensed Product within thirty (30) days of its occurrence in each country.
9. BOOKS AND RECORDS
9.1 Licensee shall maintain books and records accurately showing all
Licensed Products manufactured or sold by it under the terms of this Agreement
for at least three (3) years from the end of the calendar year to which the
books and records pertain. Upon written request and after reasonable notice, not
more often than once in each year, Licensee shall permit a representative
selected by The Regents, except one to whom Licensee has some reasonable
objection, to have access during normal business hours to such records of
Licensee as may be reasonably necessary to
-20-
<PAGE>
determine, with respect to any calendar year ending not more than thirty-six
(36) months prior to the date of such request, the correctness of any report
and/or payment made under this Agreement. Licensee shall include in each
sublicense granted pursuant to this Agreement a provision requiring the
sublicensee to maintain records of sales made pursuant to such sublicense and to
grant access to such records to The Regents' representative. Upon the expiration
of thirty-six (36) months following the end of any calendar year and absent a
showing of fraud, the calculation of royalties payable with respect to such year
shall be binding and conclusive upon The Regents, and Licensee and its
sublicensees shall be released from any liability or accountability with respect
to royalties for such year.
9.2 Subject to applicable Federal and State laws, the Regents agree that
all information subject to review under paragraph 9.1 is confidential and that
The Regents shall and shall cause their representative to retain all such
information in confidence. In any event, The Regents agree to notify Licensee
prior to the release of any such information pursuant to Federal or State laws,
so as to permit Licensee to take such action as it deems appropriate.
9.3 The fees and expenses of the representatives performing such an
examination shall be borne by The Regents. However, if an error in royalties in
favor of The Regents by more than ten percent (10%) of the total royalties or
one thousand dollars ($1,000.00), whichever is greater, due hereunder for the
calendar year being reviewed is discovered by the representatives of The
-21-
<PAGE>
Regents, then all reasonable fees and expenses of these representatives shall be
borne by Licensee.
10. LATE PAYMENTS
10.1 In the event royalty payments or fees are not received by The Regents
when due, Licensee shall pay to The Regents interest charges at the rate of ten
percent (10%) per annum on the total royalties or fees due for the reporting
period.
10.2 In the event of a failure of performance due under the terms of this
Agreement and if it becomes necessary for either party to undertake legal action
against the other on account thereof, then the prevailing party shall be
entitled to reasonable attorney's fees in addition to costs and necessary
disbursements.
11. LIFE OF THE AGREEMENT
11.1 Subject to the provisions of paragraph 11.2, this Agreement shall be
in full force and effect from the date first herein written and shall remain in
effect for the life of the last to expire patent licensed under this Agreement
or for the period of Licensee's royalty obligation as set forth in paragraph
5.4, whichever is longer, or unless otherwise terminated by operation of law or
by acts of the parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
11.2 Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 11, Article 12
or Article 13, the rights and obligations of the parties shall cease, except
that (a) rights (including Licensee's right to the paid-up irrevocable licenses
granted in paragraphs 5.4 and 5.5), obligations and liabilities of the parties
accrued prior to such termination shall survive such termination; and (b)
-22-
<PAGE>
the obligation of The Regents, under paragraph 9.2, to keep certain information
confidential, shall survive termination for period of five (5) years.
12. TERMINATION BY THE REGENTS
12.1 It is expressly agreed that, notwithstanding the provisions of Article
10 concerning late payments, if Licensee should fail to deliver to The Regents
any statement or report when due, or fail to pay any royalty at the time that
the same should be due or if Licensee should violate or fail to perform any
covenant, condition, or undertaking of this Agreement on its part to be
performed hereunder, then and in such event The Regents may give written notice
of such default to Licensee. If Licensee should fail to repair such default
within ninety (90) days from such notice, The Regents shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement and the licenses herein by written notice to Licensee.
Upon delivery of such notice of termination to Licensee, this Agreement shall
automatically terminate. Such termination shall not relieve Licensee of its
obligation to pay any royalty or license fees due or owing at the time of such
termination and shall not impair any accrued right of The Regents.
13. TERMINATION BY LICENSEE
13.1 Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement or any
license granted herein, in whole or as to any specified patent or any claim of
such patent, at any time, and from time to time, by giving notice in writing to
The Regents. Such termination shall be effective ninety (90) days from the
-23-
<PAGE>
date of such notice and all Licensee's rights associated therewith shall cease
as of that date.
13.2 Any termination pursuant to the above paragraph shall not relieve
Licensee of any obligation or liability accrued hereunder prior to such
termination, or rescind or give rise to any right to rescind anything done by
Licensee or any payments made (including the payment of the license issue fee)
or other consideration given to The Regents hereunder prior to the time such
termination becomes effective, and such termination shall not affect in any
manner any rights of The Regents arising under this Agreement prior to such
termination.
14. DISPOSITION OF THE HYBRIDOMA AND
LICENSED PRODUCTS ON HAND UPON TERMINATION
14.1 Upon termination of this Agreement by either party Licensee agrees to
dispose of The Hybridomas and Licensed Products in its possession in the
following manner:
(14.1a) The Hybridomas will be destroyed within fifteen (15) days
following the effective date of termination. Licensee agrees to
provide The Regents within thirty (30) days following said
termination date with written notice that The Hybridoma has been
destroyed.
(14.1b) In the case of Licensed Products, Licensee shall provide The
Regents within sixty (60) days following the effective date of
termination with a written inventory of all Licensed Products in
process of manufacture, in use or in stock, and shall dispose of
such
-24-
<PAGE>
Licensed Products within one hundred eighty (180) days of the
effective date of termination, provided, however, that all such
Licensed Products shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement.
15. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY AND TRADE SECRET RIGHTS
IN THE HYBRIDOMAS
15.1 The Regents agree to instruct Lowell Young to circulate The Hybridomas
to third parties only for noncommercial research purposes and only under the
terms of the biological material transmission letter attached hereto as Appendix
A.
15.2 Licensee shall not be prevented from transferring any of The
Hybridomas to third parties if:
(l5.2a) such Hybridoma is now, or becomes in the future, publicly
available, other than through acts or omissions of Licensee; or
(15.2b) such Hybridoma is lawfully obtained by Licensee from sources
independent of The Regents.
15.3 Licensee agrees to use its best efforts to preserve The Regents"
tangible property and trade secret rights in The Hybridomas.
16. PATENT PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE
16.1 The Regents shall diligently prosecute and maintain the above
identified United States patent application using counsel of their choice and
after due consultation with Licensee. The Regents shall provide Licensee with
copies of all relevant documentation so that Licensee may be informed and
apprised of
-25-
<PAGE>
the continuing prosecution, and Licensee agrees to keep this
documentation confidential.
16.2 The Regents shall use their best efforts to amend any patent
application to include claims reasonably requested by Licensee and required to
protect the Licensed Products contemplated to be sold under this Agreement.
16.3 The cost of preparing, filing and prosecuting all United States patent
applications contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by Licensee.
16.4 Licensee shall have the right to obtain patent protection on the
Invention in foreign countries if available and if it so desires. Licensee must
notify The Regents within ten (10) months of the filing of the corresponding
United States application of those countries in which it desires to obtain
foreign patents. The absence of a decision in writing from Licensee to The
Regents shall be considered an election by Licensee not to secure foreign patent
rights.
16.5 The preparation, filing and prosecuting of all foreign patent
applications filed in accordance with paragraph 16.4 and the maintenance of all
resulting patents shall be at the sole expense of Licensee. Such patents shall
be held in the name of The Regents and shall be obtained using counsel of The
Regents' choice, provided that Licensee shall have no reasonable objection to
such counsel.
16.6 Licensee's obligation to underwrite and to pay foreign patent
prosecution costs filed at its request shall continue for so long as this
Agreement remains in effect, provided, however, that Licensee may terminate its
obligations with respect to any
-26-
<PAGE>
foreign patent application or patent upon three (3) months' written notice to
The Regents. The Regents may continue prosecution and/or maintenance of such
application(s) or patent(s) at their sole discretion and expense; provided,
however, that Licensee shall have no further right or licenses thereunder.
16.7 The Regents shall have the right to file patent applications at their
own expense in any country in which Licensee has not elected to secure such
rights, and such applications and resultant patents shall not be subject to this
Agreement.
17. INFRINGEMENT
17.1 In the event that Licensee shall learn of the infringement of any
patent licensed under this Agreement, Licensee shall call The Regents' attention
thereto in writing. Both Parties to this Agreement agree that during the period
and in a jurisdiction where Licensee has exclusive rights under this Agreement,
neither will notify a third party of the infringement of any of Regents' Patent
Rights without first obtaining the consent of the other Party, which consent
shall not be unreasonably denied. Both Parties shall use reasonable efforts in
cooperation with each other to terminate such infringement without litigation.
17.2 Licensee may request that The Regents take legal action against the
infringement of Regents' Patent Rights. Such request shall be made in writing
and shall include reasonable evidence of such infringement and damages to
Licensee. If the infringing activity has not been abated within ninety (90) days
-27-
<PAGE>
following the effective date of such request, The Regents shall have the right
to:
(17.2a) commence suit on their own account; or
(17.2b) refuse to participate in such suit,
and The Regents shall give notice of their election in writing to Licensee by
the end of the one-hundredth (100th) day after receiving notice of such request
from Licensee. Licensee may thereafter bring suit for patent infringement if and
only if The Regents elect not to commence suit (other than as nominal party
plaintiff) and if the infringement occurred during the period and in a
jurisdiction where Licensee had exclusive rights under this Agreement. However,
in the event Licensee elects to bring suit in accordance with this paragraph,
The Regents may thereafter join such suit at their own expense.
17.3 In the case of an infringement of Regents' Patent Rights as defined in
Section 271(e) of Title 35 of the United States Code, Licensee shall provide The
Regents with written notice of such occurrence and shall provide The Regents
with copies of any notice which Licensee receives as required by the Drug Price
Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act (Public Law 98-417, hereinafter "the
Act") to be given by an applicant for an abbreviated PLA or a "paper PLA"
pursuant to section 101 or 103 of the Act to a holder of an approved PLA. If
Licensee wishes action to be taken against such infringement, as provided in the
Act, Licensee shall request such action in written notice to The Regents. Within
thirty (30) days of receiving said request, The Regents will give written notice
to Licensee of its election to:
-28-
<PAGE>
(17.3a) commence suit on their own account; or
(17.3b) refuse to participate in such suit.
Licensee may thereafter bring suit for patent infringement as provided by the
Act if and only if The Regents elect not to commence suit (other than as nominal
party plaintiff) and if the infringement occurred during the period that
Licensee had exclusive rights in the United States under this Agreement.
However, in the event Licensee elects to bring suit in accordance with this
paragraph, The Regents may thereafter join such suit at their own expense.
17.4 Any legal action as is brought shall be at the expense of the party by
whom suit is filed. Any damages or costs recovered in connection with a lawsuit
shall belong to the party by whom suit is filed. Nothing herein obligates The
Regents or Licensee to enter into any litigation of any nature whatsoever with
regard to Regents' Patent Rights.
17.5 Each party agrees to cooperate with the other in litigation
proceedings instituted hereunder but at the expense of the party on account of
whom suit is brought. Such litigation shall be controlled by the party bringing
the suit, except when such suit is brought jointly in which case The Regents
shall control. The Regents, at their own expense, may be represented by counsel
of their choice pursuant to The Regents' determination in any suit brought by
Licensee.
17.6 In the event that The Regents refuse to participate in a suit and
Licensee brings same as allowed herein, Licensee may pay royalties at the
applicable rate for Non-patent Products and may withhold the difference between
the rate paid and the rate
-29-
<PAGE>
due for Patent Products during the pendency of the suit and until said suit has
been finally concluded. To the extent that Licensee does not recover attorneys'
fees and other out-of-pocket costs as a result of such litigation, such withheld
royalties may be applied to Licensee's expenses (out-of-pocket and in-house)
incurred in connection with such suit and the balance of such withheld royalties
if any, shall be paid to The Regents upon disposition of the suit; provided
however, that if as a result of such suit, all claims of patents included within
Regents' Patent Rights under which Licensee is selling a Licensed Product shall
be held invalid, Licensee may retain the balance of such withheld royalties
which pertain to such Licensed Product until such decision shall be finally
reversed by an unappealed or unappealable decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction and higher dignity.
18. NOTIFICATION AND AUTHORIZATION UNDER DRUG PRICE
COMPETITION AND PATENT TERM RESTORATION ACT
18.1 The Regents shall notify Licensee of (a) the issuance of each U.S.
patent included within Regents' Patent Rights, giving the date of issue and
patent number for each such patent, and (b) each notice pertaining to any patent
included within Regents' Patent Rights which it receives as patent owner
pursuant to the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act, (the
Act), including but not necessarily limited to notices pursuant to Sections 101
and 103 of the Act from persons who have filed an Abbreviated New Drug
Application ("ANDA") or a "paper" New Drug Application (NDA). Such notices shall
be given promptly, but in any event within ten (10) calendar days of each
-30-
<PAGE>
such patent's date of issue or receipt of each such notice pursuant to the Act,
whichever is applicable.
18.2 The Regents hereby authorize Licensee (a) to include in any NDA for a
Licensed Product, as Licensee may deem appropriate under the Act, a list of
patents included within Regents' Patent Rights identifying The Regents as patent
owner that relate to such Licensed Product and such other information as
Licensee in its reasonable discretion believes is appropriate to be filed
pursuant to the Act; and (b) in consultation with The Regents, to exercise any
rights that may be exercisable by an exclusive licensee and NDA holder under The
Regents' Patent Rights.
19. EXTENSION OF PATENT TERM UNDER DRUG PRICE
COMPETITION AND PATENT TERM RESTORATION ACT
19.1 The Regents agree as patent owners under the Act to apply for an
extension of the term of any patent included within Regents' Patent Rights, as
permitted by the Act, upon request by Licensee. The Regents agree to cooperate

4. PFIZER OPTIONS
4.1 Other Antibody Products. Xoma hereby grants to Pfizer the exclusive
option during the term of this Agreement to acquire exclusive worldwide rights
to each of the Other Antibody Products pursuant to the terms of the License
Agreement. At such time Xoma files any IND application with FDA for any Other
Antibody Product, Xoma shall give Pfizer a copy of such IND application together
with a summary of all material Technical Information (reasonably necessary for
Pfizer or any like person to make a reasonable scientific and technical
evaluation for the purpose of exercising the option hereunder) regarding such
Other Antibody Product. For a [*] period thereafter Xoma shall not (unless
Pfizer earlier declines) negotiate with any third party regarding such Other
Antibody Product, and as soon as possible, and in no event later than the end of
said [*] period, Pfizer shall notify Xoma whether Pfizer wishes to exercise its
option hereunder with respect to such Other Antibody Product. In the event
Pfizer exercises its option, such Other Antibody Product shall be automatically
included within the definition of "Product" under the License Agreement and
shall become a Subject Product for purposes of this Agreement. In addition, Xoma
shall promptly prepare and submit to Pfizer a reasonable Development Plan
including reasonable budget of estimated Development Costs through PLA
Submission for such Other Antibody Product. Such Development Plan shall be
consistent in scope and content with the E5 Development Plan and, together with
such modifications as shall be mutually agreeable, shall be reasonably agreed
upon by the parties within [*] of Pfizer's notice to Xoma of Pfizer's exercise
of its option hereunder regarding such Other Antibody Product. If Pfizer within
said [*] period shall decline to exercise its option or shall fail to respond to
Xoma, Xoma may develop and market such Other Antibody Product itself (directly
or through its dealers or distributors) or may offer such product to third
parties for [*] following such [*] period, provided that any terms agreed upon
with third parties, considered as a whole, are not (unless offered to Pfizer for
at least [*]) materially less favorable to Xoma than the terms contained in the
License Agreement. If Xoma has not in good faith elected to market such Other
Antibody Product or concluded an agreement with a third party within [*] of the
filing of the IND application, Pfizer's option hereunder for such product shall
be revived.
4.2 Other Septic Shock Products. For 15 years from the date hereof, prior
to granting any rights to third parties during the term of this Agreement with
respect to any Other Septic Shock Products or deciding itself to develop and
market
<PAGE>
-8-
any Other Septic Shock Products, Xoma shall first offer such rights to Pfizer.
Any such offer by Xoma to Pfizer shall include an identification of such Other
Septic Shock Product and initial pre-clinical test results (including some
demonstration of activity, and preliminary toxicology) for review by Pfizer. If
Pfizer and Xoma cannot negotiate an agreement within [*] of such offer, Xoma may
develop and market such Other Septic Shock Product itself (directly or through
its dealers or distributors) or may offer such product to third parties for [*]
following such [*] period, provided that the terms offered third parties,
considered as a whole, are not (unless offered to Pfizer for at least [*])
materially less favorable to Xoma than the terms offered by Pfizer. At the end
of such [*], if no such agreement has been concluded and Xoma has not decided to
proceed on its own, Pfizer's rights under this Section 4.2 regarding such Other
Septic Shock Product shall be revived.
4.3 Comparable Other Antibody Products or Other Septic Shock Products.
Notwithstanding to the contrary any provisions of Section 4.1 or 4.2 hereof,
Xoma shall not market itself or enter into any arrangement or contract with any
third party granting rights to the marketing of any Other Antibody Product or
Other Septic Shock Product for which under Section 4.1 Pfizer has declined to
exercise its option thereunder or for which under Section 4.2 Pfizer and Xoma
have not entered into any agreement contemplated therein, unless such Other
Antibody Product or Other Septic Shock Product shall be substantially different
from and materially clinically superior to (for a clinically relevant
indication) any then existing Subject Product.
5. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
5.1 Xoma Development Efforts. Xoma shall use reasonable diligence to carry
out the Development Plan for each Subject Product in accordance with each such
Development Plan and within all agreed upon timetables therein. Any material
change in any Development Plan shall be agreed to between Xoma and Pfizer. Xoma
and Pfizer recognize that changes or modifications in each Development Plan
(including estimated budgets) will, in all likelihood, be required, and each
agrees to negotiate in good faith and in a reasonable manner to reach agreement
for any such changes or modifications. Xoma shall be solely responsible for the
conduct of all phases of each Development Plan, including but not limited to
clinical trials specified therein; provided, however, Xoma agrees to consult in
good faith with Pfizer and the Review Panel as provided in this Section 5
regarding each Development Plan.
<PAGE>
-9-
5.2 Review Panel. The Review Panel (constituted as specified in Section
1.14) will meet with Xoma, and with Pfizer if requested by Pfizer, on a
quarterly basis, or as may otherwise be agreed upon, to discuss and review each
Development Plan, the progress and activities carried out thereunder, and any
other scientific, medical, regulatory, or other matter which either Pfizer or
Xoma deems advisable.
5.3 Funding of Development Costs. Pfizer agrees to reimburse Xoma for its
Development Costs (determined in accordance with Exhibit A) for each Subject
Product, provided such Development Costs shall in no event be greater than the
estimated Development Costs contained in the appropriate Development Plan as
agreed upon between Xoma and Pfizer. Based on the estimated annual budgets in
the Development Plan for each Subject Product, Pfizer shall make monthly
payments, payable on the first day of each month, for estimated Development
Costs to be incurred by Xoma for the ensuing month. Within 30 days after the end
of each calendar quarter Xoma shall prepare and send to Pfizer (i) an invoice of
actual Development Costs incurred by Xoma during the preceding calendar quarter
and (ii) a reconciliation with the estimated monthly payments made by Pfizer
during such quarter. In the event Pfizer's estimated payments for such quarter
shall be greater than the actual invoiced amount, such overpayment shall be
applied by Pfizer against subsequent monthly payments of estimated Development
Costs due to Xoma or, at Pfizer's option, Xoma shall remit such overpayment to
Pfizer. In the event the actual Development Costs for any quarter shall be
greater than Pfizer's estimated monthly payments for such quarter, subject to
the first sentence of this Section 5.3, Pfizer shall make appropriate payment to
Xoma within thirty (30) days of receipt of Xoma's invoice.
Pfizer shall pay all Development Costs (in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement) incurred by Xoma (a) from January 1, 1987 through Product
Approval with respect to the E5 Product, (b) from the date of IND filing through
Product Approval with respect to other Subject Products, and (c) subsequent to
Xoma's internal identification of the product through Product Approval with
respect to any Accepted Septic Shock Product. With respect to Development Costs
for the E5 Product incurred by Xoma prior to the date of this Agreement for
which Pfizer is responsible as provided above, Pfizer will pay such Development
Costs (as specified in Exhibit B) within 30 days of invoice by Xoma.
5.4 Disclosure of Technical Information. Xoma shall disclose to Pfizer
within 30 days of the date of execution of this Agreement and thereafter on at
least a quarterly basis all Technical Information on each Subject Product not
previously
<PAGE>
-10-
disclosed to Pfizer; provided, however, until such time as Pfizer's rights of
termination under Section 6.1 hereof shall have lapsed, Xoma shall not be
required to disclose to Pfizer any Technical Information regarding manufacturing
of Subject Products. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require Xoma to disclose
to Pfizer any Technical Information which Xoma is, in good faith, contractually
prohibited from disclosing to third parties. All Technical Information disclosed
to Pfizer shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof.
5.5 Audit of Development Costs. Xoma shall keep full and accurate books and
records of its Development Costs and determination thereof. Xoma shall permit
Pfizer, at Pfizer's expense, by independent certified public accountants
employed by Pfizer solely for this purpose and reasonably acceptable to Xoma, to
examine such books and records (as they relate to Development Costs) at any
reasonable time, but not later than five (5) years following the invoice to
Pfizer of such Development Costs. As a condition to such examination, the
independent public accountant selected by Pfizer shall execute a written
agreement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Xoma, to maintain in
confidence all information obtained during the course of any such examination
except for disclosure to Pfizer as necessary for the above purpose. The opinion
of said independent accountants regarding such Development Costs shall be
binding on the parties hereto.
5.6 Orphan Drug Designations. At Pfizer's expense, promptly after execution
of this Agreement Xoma shall transfer to Pfizer all of Xoma's interests and
rights to the FDA designation to the E5 Product as an "orphan drug" as evidenced
by FDA's letter to Xoma dated November 4, 1985 (provided Pfizer prepares the
requisite documents). Xoma shall execute such further notices or documents, as
Pfizer may reasonably request and at Pfizer's expense, to effectuate the change
in such designation (provided Pfizer prepares the requisite documents). In
addition, should Xoma obtain in the future any other similar designation for any
other Subject Products, Xoma will, likewise, transfer its rights thereto to
Pfizer; provided, however, Xoma shall not be required to make any such transfer
if Xoma itself shall then be in a position to directly and materially benefit
from the tax credits available thereunder. In the event Pfizer's rights or
licenses shall terminate hereunder or under the License Agreement (except in the
event of termination by Pfizer for Xoma's breach of Section 2.01 of the License
Agreement or as provided otherwise in the Security Agreement) regarding any
Subject Product (or former Subject Product) for which Pfizer holds any such
orphan drug or similar designation, Pfizer will, at its expense, promptly
transfer to Xoma the rights to such designation transferred to Pfizer.

6. PFIZER PAYMENTS
6.1 Initial Payment. In addition to any other payments provided for herein,
within ten (10) days hereof, Pfizer shall pay Xoma [*] of which [*] shall be in
consideration of the patent rights for the E5 Product granted to Pfizer under
the License Agreement and [*] shall be in consideration of the granting to
Pfizer of the option under Section 4.1 hereof to acquire a license to patent
rights regarding the Other Antibody Products. If the two-week IV toxicity study
of the E5 Product in monkeys (study no. 81611-T11) (a) is not completed within
nine months after the date hereof pursuant to the protocol heretofore agreed
upon with Pfizer, or (b) is completed pursuant to such protocol with results not
satisfactory to Pfizer (as it may reasonably determine in good faith), or (c)
for any reason shall not have commenced by September 30, 1987, then in any such
event Pfizer shall have the right, by notice given within 30 days thereof, to
demand return by Xoma of said [*] in which event Xoma shall promptly return to
Pfizer said [*] and this Agreement, the License Agreement, the Supply Agreement
and all other agreements contemplated herein or therein shall terminate. If Xoma
agrees that the results of such study are not satisfactory (as it may reasonably
determine in good faith), Pfizer may, as it may elect, alternatively demand the
return of [*], and Xoma shall promptly return to Pfizer said [*] and this
Agreement, the License Agreement the Supply Agreement and all other agreements
contemplated herein or therein shall continue in effect with the E5 Product
eliminated as a Subject Product hereunder and as a "Product" under the License
Agreement. In that event, the first Other Antibody Product for which Pfizer
exercises its option under Section 4.1 shall be treated as the initial Subject
Product for purposes of Section 6.2 (with changes in Section 6.2 to reflect
proper protocol numbers).
6.2 Milestone Payments. In further consideration for Xoma's timely research
and development efforts hereunder, Pfizer shall pay Xoma the following amounts
within 30 days of completion of the applicable events with respect to the
initial Subject Product:

[*] of first 100 evaluable patients (which fulfill statistical criteria for
protocol evaluation) with confirmed Gram Negative Sepsis; provided, (i) the
report thereof shall include efficacy and safety analysis by blinded group (to
be unblinded at Pfizer's option) with analyses of adverse drug experiences,
biochemical and hematological parameters, and analysis and listing of all deaths
(together with copies of all reports to FDA -- FD 1639 or substitute form), and
(ii) such report is received by Pfizer on or before [*];
<PAGE>
-12-
(b) [*] - Upon completion of Phase II trial according to protocol no.
81612-P2B and receipt by Pfizer of the complete final report thereon on or
before [*];
(c) [*] - Upon PLA Submission to FDA on or before [*]; or [*] - upon PLA
Submission after [*] and on or before [*];
(d) [*] - Upon Product Approval on or before [*]; or [*] - upon Product
Approval after [*] but on or before [*]*; or [*] - upon Product Approval after
[*] but on or before [*]; or [*] - upon Product Approval after [*] and on or
before [*].
It is understood that the provisions of Section 12.1 hereof shall not apply to
this Section 6.2.

"CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
XOMA E5 ANTIENDOTOXIN MURINE
MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY"
<PAGE>
INTRODUCTION
Gram-negative sepsis has become a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the
United States during the last 30 years. Current incidence in the U.S. is
estimated at approximately 200,000 cases per year with a mortality of 20-50%.
Clinical studies over the last decade have shown that new developments in
antimicrobial therapy have done little to change mortality. The ability to
specifically neutralize endotoxin with XOMA's E5 antiendotoxin antibody
represents the first major therapeutic advance since the introduction of
antibiotics in the 1940's and holds new promise for significant reduction in
mortality and morbidity in gram-negative infection.
I. Overall Development Objectives:
- Generate adequate data for a PLA for FDA approval.

SECTION 3.00 - ROYALTIES AND PAYMENTS
3.01 In consideration of the licenses granted to Pfizer under Section 2.01
hereof, Pfizer shall pay to Xoma royalties based on the aggregate Production
Margin during each Fiscal Year for each Licensed Product. For purposes of
determining royalties, the E5 Product, J5D4, and PCB5 (as defined or described
in the Research and Development Agreement) as well as Combination Products of
each shall each be considered as separate Licensed Products. Royalties shall be
computed (a) separately for each Fiscal Year for each Licensed Product based on
the aggregate Production Margin thereof, (b) separately with respect to Net
Sales in Territory A and Territory B, and (c) with a different royalty rate
applicable to different increments of Production Margin for each such Licensed
Product.

A similar separate computation would be made for J5D4 aggregate
Production Margin for Net Sales in the U.S.A., and similar separate
computations would be made for E5 and J5D4 for aggregate Production
Margin of each for Net Sales in Territory B for each Fiscal Year.
In the event Pfizer shall be selling a Combination Product containing one
or more other active ingredients which are not Licensed Products, then aggregate
Production Margin for such Combination Product shall be determined as follows:
(a) Net Sales for the Combination Product shall be determined as set forth in
Section 1.06 hereof; (b) Product Cost shall not be determined as provided in
Section 1.09 hereof, but rather shall be Pfizer's standard cost for the
Combination Product in finished packaged dosage form (determined according to
Pfizer's accounting standards which shall be in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles), and (c) such Product Cost shall be subtracted
from such Net Sales of such Combination Product and the resulting difference
shall then be divided by one-half (1/2) which amount shall be the Production
Margin for such Combination Product for royalty purposes hereunder.
Notwithstanding to the contrary the provisions of the immediately preceding
paragraph, if any Combination Product being sold by Pfizer contains, in addition
to a Licensed Product, another active ingredient which, as a single entity
agent, is being sold as a non-prescription (over-the-counter) drug in the United
States, then the immediately preceding paragraph shall not be applicable, and
Production Margin for such Combination Product shall be determined for each
country as hereinafter provided. In the event Pfizer or its Affiliates is
currently selling in such country the Licensed Product (contained in such
Combination Product) as a single entity, "Net Sales" of such Combination Product
for such country for any Payment Computation Period shall be computed as
follows: aggregate net sales during such period of the Licensed Product as a
single entity (determined in accordance with Section 1.06 hereof) shall be
divided by the aggregate number of grams of Licensed Product contained therein,
and the result thereof shall be multiplied by the aggregate number of grams of
Licensed Product contained in the Combination Product sold in such country
during such Payment Computation Period. In the event Pfizer or its Affiliates is
not currently selling in a country the Licensed Product as a single entity, "Net
Sales" of such Combination Product for such country shall be computed as
follows: aggregate net sales of the Combination Product (determined in
accordance with Section 1.06 hereof) shall be multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator being Pfizer's cost of the Licensed Product in such Combination
Product and the <PAGE>
-8-
denominator being Pfizer's total cost of all active ingredients in such
Combination Product. Cost shall be based on Pfizer's accounting procedures which
are in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices. To determine
aggregate Production Margin for such Combination Product, Product Cost for the
Licensed Product contained in such Combination Product shall be determined as
provided in Section 1.09 hereof and Net Sales for such Combination Product shall
be determined as provided above. Royalties on aggregate Production Margin for
such Combination Product shall then be computed for Net Sales in Territory A and
Territory B at the respective rates provided above.
3.02 The period of time royalties under Section 3.01 shall be payable shall
be determined on a country-by-country basis and on a Licensed
Product-by-Licensed Product basis and shall be for the longer of (a) fifteen
(15) years after first commercial sale after regulatory approval in such country
of the respective Licensed Product by Pfizer, its Affiliates or sublicensees, or
(b) until the last to expire of the Licensed Patents in such country which
includes claims directed toward a composition of matter, method of use, or
pharmaceutical dosage form for the particular Licensed Product sold, and,
thereafter, in the case of clause (a) or clause (b) Pfizer's license hereunder
with respect to Technical Information for such Licensed Product shall be a fully
paid-up license. Notwithstanding to the contrary any provision of Section 3.01,
in the event the Licensed Product sold by Pfizer in any particular country shall
not infringe any claim of any Licensed Patent in force in such country with
claims directed toward a composition of matter, method of use, or pharmaceutical
dosage form, then the royalty rates specified in Section 3.01 with respect to
Product Margin for Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country shall each
be reduced by [*] to reflect the value to Pfizer of the Technical Information
for such Licensed Product.
3.03 During each Fiscal Year, commencing with the first complete Fiscal
Year after the first commercial sale of the first Licensed Product sold in
Territory A, and so long as Licensed Patents covering at least one of the
Licensed Products sold therein shall be in effect in Territory A with claims
directed toward a composition of matter, method of use, or pharmaceutical dosage
form, Pfizer shall pay to Xoma minimum annual royalties under Section 3.01 with
respect to aggregate Net Sales of all Licensed Products in Territory A as
follows:
First Fiscal Year [*]
Second Fiscal Year [*]
Third through fifth Fiscal Year [*]
Sixth and subsequent Fiscal Years [*]
<PAGE>
-9-
In addition, during each Fiscal Year, commencing with the first complete Fiscal
Year after the first commercial sale of the first Licensed Product sold in three
of the Selected Countries, and so long as Licensed Patents covering at least one
of the Licensed Products sold therein shall be in effect in such three Selected
Countries with claims directed toward a composition of matter, method of use, or
pharmaceutical dosage form, Pfizer shall pay Xoma minimum annual royalties under
Section 3.01 with respect to aggregate Net Sales of all Licensed Products in
Territory B as follows:
First Fiscal Year [*]
Second Fiscal Year [*]
Third through fifth Fiscal Year [*]
Sixth and Subsequent Fiscal Years [*]
In the event royalties actually paid under Section 3.01 hereof for any Fiscal
Year shall be less than the required minimum royalty for Territory A or
Territory B, as the case may be, Pfizer, within sixty (60) days after the end of
each Fiscal Year, shall pay such amounts to Xoma as necessary to insure that the
total of said royalties actually paid by Pfizer shall be not less than the
applicable minimum royalty.
Notwithstanding to the contrary the foregoing, Pfizer shall not be required
to make minimum royalty payments and shall have no obligations under this
Section 3.03 (a) during such period of time Xoma shall fail for any reason,
including force majeure, to supply Pfizer with Products pursuant to the terms of
the Supply Agreement (provided in such case minimum royalty obligations shall be
reduced pro rata), or (b) for one complete Fiscal Year after the effective date
of any termination by Xoma of the Supply Agreement or (c) for one complete
Fiscal Year after the effective date of any termination of the Supply Agreement
by Pfizer as a result of the breach or default thereof by Xoma.
3.04 Pfizer will in good faith commercialize Licensed Products in the
Territory in a manner to maximize commercial benefit of each Licensed Product
and consistent with the best interests of both Xoma and Pfizer.
SECTION 4.00 - PAYMENT PROCEDURES, REPORTS,
RECORDS, TAXES, AUDITING
4.01 Sales among Pfizer, its Affiliates and sublicensees shall not be
subject to royalties under Section 3.00 hereof but in such cases royalties shall
be calculated upon Production Margin using Pfizer's or its Affiliates' or
sublicensees' Net
<PAGE>
-10-
Sales to an independent third party. Notwithstanding to the contrary any other
provisions of this Agreement, Pfizer shall be responsible for payment of any
royalties accrued on sales of Licensed Products to such independent third party
through Pfizer's Affiliates or sublicensees.
4.02 Pfizer shall pay to Xoma royalties on Production Margin for Net Sales
during each Payment Computation Period within sixty (60) days after the end of
each such Payment Computation Period, and each payment shall be accompanied by a
report identifying the Licensed Product, the Net Sales, Production Cost,
Production Margin and the royalties payable Xoma, as well as computation
thereof.
4.03 Payments shall be made in United States Dollars and shall be remitted
to Xoma at its address first specified above. Royalties shall be paid by the
company actually making the sale giving rise to the payment obligation. Such
payments shall be subject to applicable law and regulations existing at the
place of remittance (namely, the location of the company actually making the
sale giving rise to the payment obligation). Net Sales shall first be determined
in the currency in which such Licensed Products were sold and shall then be
converted into the equivalent amount of United States Dollars at (a) the
official closing rate two business days prior to the date of payment hereunder,
as established by the central bank or exchange control authorities in each such
country; or (b) if no such official rate is available or if conversion pursuant
to such official rate cannot be effectuated by the company making the sale
giving rise to the payment obligation, then at the closing rate two business
days prior to the date of payment hereunder, established by a leading commercial
bank (selected by Pfizer) in the relevant country; or (c) if such official or
commercial bank rates are not available, or if conversion pursuant to the
provisions of clauses (a) or (b) hereof cannot be effectuated, then at the
closing rate two business days prior to the date of payment her under as
established by Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., New York, New York.
4.04 Any taxes required to be paid or withheld by Pfizer or its Affiliates
on account of amounts payable to Xoma under this Agreement shall be deducted
from the amounts due hereunder at the rates specified by applicable law. In
addition, Pfizer shall provide promptly to Xoma receipts from the government or
taxing authority evidencing payment of such taxes.
4.05 Pfizer shall keep full and accurate books and records setting forth
gross sales, Net Sales, Product Cost, Production Margin and amounts payable to
Xoma hereunder. Xoma shall have
<PAGE>
-11-
the right, at its own expense, during the term of this Agreement (but not later
than five (5) years following the rendering of any such reports, accountings and
payments) and for one (1) year thereafter, to have an independent public
accountant, reasonably acceptable to Pfizer, examine the relevant financial
books and records of account of Pfizer at normal business hours, upon reasonable
demand, to determine or verify such reports, accounting and payments. If errors
of five percent (5%) or more in Xoma's favor are discovered as a result of such
examination, Pfizer shall reimburse Xoma for the expense of such examination. As
a condition to such examination, the independent public accountant selected by
Xoma shall execute a written agreement, reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to Pfizer, to maintain in confidence all information obtained during
the course of any such examination except for disclosure to Xoma as necessary
for the above purpose. The opinion of such independent public accountant
regarding such reports accounting and payments shall be binding on the parties
hereto.
4.06 If at any time conditions or legal restrictions exist which conditions
or restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of the royalties due hereunder, or
if conversion into United States Dollars pursuant to the provisions of Section
4.03 hereof cannot be effectuated, the parties shall cooperate fully with each
other and make reasonable efforts to permit such remittance; if such efforts
shall be unsuccessful, Pfizer shall make such payments to Xoma within a
reasonable period of time.
SECTION 5.00 - DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY
5.01 Subject to the provisions of Section 5.4 of the R&D Agreement,
periodically during the term of this Agreement and at any time upon the
reasonable written request of Pfizer, Xoma shall disclose to Pfizer in
confidence, pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof, all Technical Information not
heretofore disclosed to Pfizer. Nothing however shall be deemed to require Xoma
to disclose to Pfizer any Technical Information which Xoma is, in good faith,
contractually prohibited from disclosing to third parties. All Technical
Information heretofore disclosed by Xoma to Pfizer shall be deemed to have been
disclosed pursuant to this Agreement and shall be subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 5.02 hereof.
5.02 Pfizer and its Affiliates shall keep confidential and not use, except

Notwithstanding to the contrary the foregoing, so long as Xoma shall be
supplying Pfizer with Products pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement,
prior to any disclosure of Technical Information regarding manufacturing or
production under circumstances described in the foregoing clause (d), Pfizer
shall notify Xoma of its proposed disclosure and shall not make any such
disclosure to any company as to which Xoma reasonably advises Pfizer, within 60
days of such notification, that there exists, in the reasonable business
judgment of Xoma, a substantial question as to whether such company can be
expected to comply with the provisions of such aforementioned secrecy agreement
relating to the confidential treatment of and restrictions as to the use of the
Technical Information. In addition, disclosure may be made (i) to governmental
agencies to the extent required or desirable to secure governmental approval for
marketing of any Licensed Product and (ii) to pre-clinical and clinical
investigators where necessary or desirable for their information to the extent
normal and usual in the custom of the trade and under a secrecy agreement with
essentially the same confidentiality provisions contained herein. Nothing herein
shall be construed to limit the right of clinical investigators from publishing
the results of their studies.
5.03 During the term of this Agreement Xoma shall keep confidential and not
disclose to others or use for any purpose, other than as authorized herein, any
Technical Information or any know-how, data and information directed to the
Products disclosed by Pfizer hereunder; provided, however, the foregoing
obligations of confidentiality and non-use shall not apply to the extent that
such Technical Information, know-how, data and information is: (a) solely with
respect to know-how, data or
<PAGE>
-13-
information disclosed to Xoma by Pfizer already known to Xoma at the time of

hereunder other than through acts or omissions of Xoma or its employees; or (c)
disclosed in good faith to Xoma by a third party under a reasonable claim of
right; or (d) disclosed by Xoma to third parties under a secrecy agreement with
essentially the same confidentiality provisions provided herein with respect to
any Product in any Territory or country after such time as Pfizer has
surrendered the licenses granted hereunder pursuant to Section 2.00 hereof with
respect to such Territory or countries. In addition, disclosure may be made by
Xoma to third parties in order to fulfill Xoma's obligations under this
Agreement, the Supply Agreement or the R&D Agreement, provided that any such
disclosure shall be under a secrecy agreement with essentially the same
confidentiality provisions contained herein. In addition, disclosure may be made
by Xoma to governmental agencies to the extent required or desirable in exercise
of Xoma's rights hereunder, and to preclinical and clinical investigators where
necessary or desirable for their information to the extent normal and usual in
the custom of the trade and under a secrecy agreement with essentially the same
confidentiality provisions contained herein. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
limit the rights of clinical investigators from publishing the results of their
work. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit Xoma's rights to use or license
any Technical Information or information, data or know-how generated by Xoma in
any manner not inconsistent with the licenses granted to Pfizer under this
Agreement.
5.04 In connection with the furnishing to Pfizer of Technical Information
hereunder, Xoma agrees, at the request of Pfizer, to allow Pfizer personnel to
visit manufacturing and research facilities of Xoma and to consult with Xoma
personnel, at mutually agreeable times, to discuss and review Xoma's Technical
Information. In addition, Xoma agrees, at the request and expense of Pfizer, to
permit personnel of Xoma to visit Pfizer's manufacturing and research
facilities, at mutually agreeable times, to discuss and review Xoma's Technical
Information.
5.05 Xoma agrees, upon the request of Pfizer, with respect to each Licensed
Product to give Pfizer copies of all submissions to or applications for
registration or approval by governmental health authorities (including, without
limitation all Product License Applications submitted to FDA). To the extent
legally possible, upon receipt by Xoma of any approvals by FDA of any Product
License Applications (including supplements thereto) covering any Licensed
Products, Xoma shall promptly assign to Pfizer such approved Product License
<PAGE>
-14-
Applications; provided, however, Xoma shall have such rights of reference and
other rights as shall be necessary or appropriate for Xoma to perform (and/or
subcontract) its obligations to supply Licensed Products to Pfizer under the
terms of the Supply Agreement. In addition, Xoma shall assign to Pfizer, upon
request of Pfizer, or if not legally possible, grant to Pfizer rights of
reference under, all other governmental approvals, permits or registrations held
by Xoma or its Affiliates necessary to market any Licensed Products; provided,
however, the foregoing does have material adverse consequences to Xoma's other
operations and provided that reversion thereof to Xoma is reasonably feasible.
All of the foregoing will be at Pfizer's expense, and Pfizer shall be
responsible for requisite documentation.
SECTION 6.00 - REDUCTION OF ROYALTIES
6.01 Royalties payable by Pfizer to Xoma under Section 3.00 hereof shall be
reduced or abated in their entirety, as the case may be, as follows:
(a) In the event of any patent infringement, royalties shall be
reduced as provided in Section 7.00 hereof.
(b) If Pfizer within any country in the Territory is required by a
final court order from which no appeal can be taken to obtain a license
under any patent not licensed hereunder in order to make, use or sell
Licensed Products and to pay a royalty under such license, and the
infringement of such patent cannot reasonably by avoided by Pfizer,
Pfizer's obligations to pay royalties under Section 3.01 hereof shall be
reduced with respect to Net Sales in such country by the amount of the
royalty payable by Pfizer under such additional license. Pfizer shall,
however, make a good faith attempt to negotiate the royalty rate and
calculation of royalties payable to such third parties with a view to
minimizing the royalty to be deducted under this Section 6.01(b). In the
event any such additional license shall be required for Territory A or any
three Selected Countries in Territory B, Pfizer's obligation to pay minimum
royalties under Section 3.03 hereof with respect to Net Sales in Territory
A or Territory B, as the case may be, shall be reduced by the amount of
royalties paid by Pfizer to such third party.
(c) If a third party obtains, by order, decree or grant from a
competent governmental authority in any country in the Territory, a
compulsory license under Licensed Patents authorizing such third party to
manufacture, use or sell any Licensed Product in such country, Xoma shall
give prompt notice to Pfizer. During the effective period of such
compulsory license, Pfizer's obligations to pay royalties under Section
3.01 hereof with respect to sales in such country for such Licensed Product
shall be reduced
<PAGE>
-15-
to a rate equivalent to the rate payable to Xoma by said third party, and
Pfizer's obligations to pay minimum royalties under Section 3.03 hereof
with respect to Net Sales in Territory A or Territory B, as the case may
be, shall be terminated for so long as such compulsory license shall affect
Territory A or any three Selected Countries in Territory B.
SECTION 7.00 - PATENTS
7.01 Xoma shall take all reasonable steps and pay all necessary expenses to
prosecute the patent applications listed in Appendix I and shall take all
reasonable steps and pay all expenses necessary to maintain for the full life
thereof all Licensed Patents, unless Xoma, in consultation with Pfizer, shall in
good faith determine that it is not in the best interests of both parties for
Xoma to continue such prosecution, take such steps, or make such payments.
Pfizer shall have the right, upon consultation with Xoma, to file on behalf of
and as agent for Xoma all applications and take all actions necessary to obtain
the benefits under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of
1984 and any amendments thereof. Xoma agrees to sign such further authorizations
and instruments and take such further actions as may be requested by Pfizer to
implement the foregoing.
7.02 If any claim relating to Licensed Patents becomes, within any country
in the Territory, the subject of a judgment, decree or decision of a court,
tribunal, or other authority of competent jurisdiction, which judgment, decree,
or decision is or becomes final (there being no further right of review) and
adjudicates the validity, enforceability, scope, or infringement of the same,
the construction of such claim in such judgment, decree or decision shall be
followed thereafter in such country in determining whether a product is licensed
hereunder, not only as to such claim but also as to all other claims to which
such construction reasonably applies. If at any time there are two or more
conflicting final judgments, decrees, or decisions with respect to the same
claim, the decision of the higher tribunal shall thereafter control, but if the
tribunal be of equal rank, then the final judgment, decree, or decision more
favorable to such claim shall control unless and until the majority of such
tribunals of equal rank adopt or follow a less favorable final judgment, decree,
or decision, in which event the latter shall control.
7.03 If any patent infringement action shall be brought within any country
in the Territory against Pfizer or any Affiliate or sublicensee because of the
manufacture, use or sale of Licensed Products, Pfizer shall promptly notify Xoma
thereof. Pfizer and Xoma shall cooperate with each other in connection with any
such action. Pfizer shall continue to pay
<PAGE>
-16-
royalties during the continuance of such infringement action and all appeals
thereof, provided that Pfizer or Xoma shall defend such action. If neither
Pfizer nor Xoma shall commence defense of such infringement action, upon request
by Pfizer to Xoma, then during the pendency of such infringement action,
Pfizer's obligations to pay royalties under Section 3.01 with respect to such
Licensed Product for sales in such country shall be suspended. In addition, if
such infringement action shall relate to Territory A or to any three Selected
Countries in Territory B, Pfizer's obligations to pay minimum royalties under
Section 3.03 for Net Sales in Territory A or Territory B, as the case may be,
shall be suspended during the continuance of such infringement action.
7.04 If any third party shall, in the reasonable opinion of Pfizer,
infringe any of the Licensed Patents, Pfizer shall promptly notify Xoma. Pfizer,
its Affiliates or sublicensees shall have the right to bring suit and to take
action in its own name or in the name of Xoma where necessary. Xoma and Pfizer
shall, at the other's request, take all action necessary to assist in such suits
(including joining as a party), and each party shall bear its own expenses
relating thereto. Any monetary recovery in connection with such infringement
action shall be first applied to reimburse Xoma and Pfizer. Any balance shall be
shared equally by Pfizer and Xoma. If such recovery is less than the
out-of-pocket expenses, reimbursement shall first be on a pro-rata basis. During
the pendency of any such action, regardless of whether Pfizer or Xoma shall
prosecute such action, Pfizer shall continue to pay royalties due under Section
3.01, but Pfizer's obligations to pay minimum royalties under Section 3.03 for
Net Sales in Territory A or Territory B, as the case may be, shall be suspended
if such infringement shall be occurring in Territory A or any three Selected
Countries of Territory B.
SECTION 8.00 - UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LICENSE
8.01 So as not to adversely affect Pfizer rights hereunder or under the R&D
Agreement, Xoma agrees during the term of this Agreement not to take any actions
to terminate or restrict its rights under the University of California License
as it relates to the Licensed Products, the Licensed Patents or Technical
Information and to discharge all of Xoma's material obligations and
responsibilities under the University of California License, including, without
limitation, making all required payments thereunder. In the event Xoma shall
receive any notice of default thereunder, Xoma shall promptly notify Pfizer. To
the extent, if any, Pfizer as Xoma's sublicensee shall have any obligations or
responsibilities to the University of California under the University of
California
<PAGE>
-17-
License resulting from Xoma's sublicense to Pfizer hereunder, Pfizer shall
diligently discharge such obligations and responsibilities. In the event Pfizer
shall be required to pay any royalties under the University of California
License or otherwise shall be required to make any payments to the University of
California with respect to the manufacture, use or sale of Licensed Products
which are the subject of the University of California License, Pfizer shall be
permitted to deduct such royalties from any royalties or other amounts due Xoma
hereunder.
SECTION 9.00 - TERM AND TERMINATION
9.01 This Agreement shall be effective as of the date first set forth above
and shall remain in effect for so long as Pfizer, its Affiliates or sublicensees
shall be obligated to make payments to Xoma under Section 3.00 hereof, unless
earlier terminated pursuant to this Section 9.00. Upon natural expiration of
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01, the licenses granted to Pfizer
under Section 2.01 with respect to Technical Information shall be deemed to be
fully paid licenses. In addition, the provisions of Sections 5.02 and 10.00
hereof shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
9.02 At any time, upon sixty (60) days' prior notice to Xoma, Pfizer shall

Supply Agreement (if still in effect) shall terminate sixty (60) days after the
date of such notice.
9.03 At any time Pfizer shall be permitted to terminate its rights and
licenses granted hereunder with respect to any Product as provided in Sections
6.1 and 10.2(a) of the R&D Agreement. In the event of such termination, all
licenses of Pfizer hereunder with respect to such Product shall terminate, and
Pfizer, at its expense, shall return to Xoma all Technical Information regarding
such Product (including all Product License Applications and all other rights
regarding such Product assigned to Pfizer hereunder.)
9.04 If either Pfizer or Xoma materially breaches or defaults in the
performance or observance of any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such
breach or default is not cured within ninety (90) days or, in the case of
failure to pay an amounts due hereunder, sixty (60) days after the giving of
notice by the other party specifying such breach or default, the other party
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in full upon a further thirty
(30) days' notice.
9.05 Upon termination under Sections 9.02 or 9.04 hereof, or Section
10.3(b) of the R&D Agreement, or termination in full
<PAGE>
-18-
under Section 6.1 of the R&D Agreement, or termination by Pfizer under Section
10.3(c) of the R&D Agreement, and except as otherwise provided to the contrary
in the Security Agreement, all licenses of Pfizer hereunder shall terminate and
all obligations and restrictions upon Xoma shall terminate, and Pfizer shall, at
its expense, return to Xoma all Technical Information (including all Product
License Applications and all other rights assigned to Pfizer hereunder) and use
reasonable efforts to return to Xoma all copies thereof provided, however, none
of the provisions of this Section 9.05 shall apply in the event Pfizer shall
terminate this Agreement under Section 9.04 hereof for Xoma's breach of its
obligations under Section 2.01 hereof or if Pfizer shall terminate the R&D
Agreement under Section 10.3(c) thereof for Xoma's breach of its obligations
under Sections 4.1 or 4.2 of the R&D Agreement, and in each case the parties
shall have whatever rights and remedies are provided at law or in equity.
9.06 Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall be without
prejudice to:
(a) The rights and obligations of the parties provided in Sections 5.02 and
10.00 hereof.
(b) Xoma's right to receive all payments accrued under Section 3.00 hereof
prior to the effective date of such termination; and
(c) Any other remedies which either party may otherwise have.
SECTION 10.00 - INDEMNIFICATION
10.01 Except as otherwise provided in the Supply Agreement (if then in
effect), Xoma shall indemnify Pfizer against any and all liability, damages,
loss, cost and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees made against or
sustained by Pfizer or any of its Affiliates arising from the death of, or
bodily injury to, any person on account of the ingestion or use of any Licensed
Product (collectively "Pfizer Losses") to the extent such Pfizer Losses are
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by specific reference
in a settlement of litigation consented to by Xoma pursuant to Section 10.04 to
have been caused by Xoma's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
10.02 Except as otherwise provided in the Supply Agreement (if then in
effect), Pfizer shall indemnify Xoma against any and all liability, damages,
loss, cost and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees made against or
sustained by Xoma or any of its Affiliates arising from the death of, or bodily
injury to, any person on account of the ingestion or use of any Licensed Product
(collectively "Xoma Losses") to the extent <PAGE>
-19-
such Xoma Losses are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or
by specific reference in a settlement of litigation consented to by Pfizer
pursuant to Section 10.4 to have been caused by Pfizer's gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
10.03 The indemnities of Sections 10.01 and 10.02 shall not apply (i) if
the indemnified party fails to give the indemnifying party prompt notice of any
claim it receives and such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party,
or (ii) unless the indemnifying party is given the opportunity to approve any
settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Furthermore, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable for attorneys' fees or expenses of
litigation of the indemnified party unless the indemnified party gives the
indemnifying party the opportunity to assume control of the defense or
settlement. In addition, if the indemnifying party assumes such control, it
shall only be responsible for the legal fees and litigation expenses of the
attorneys it designates to assume control of the litigation. In no event shall
the indemnifying party assume control of the defense of the indemnified party
without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall be given or
not at its sole discretion).
10.04 In no event shall the indemnified party be entitled to settle any of
the above-mentioned claims without the consent of the indemnifying party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
10.05 To the extent the foregoing indemnities shall not be applicable, the
parties shall have such rights and remedies as provided by law.
SECTION 11.00 - MISCELLANEOUS
11.01 Force Majeure. No party shall be liable for failure of or delay in

1.10 "Product Approval" means final FDA approval to market commercially in
the U.S.A. the specified Product for use in humans.
1.11 "R,D&O Agreement" means the Research, Development and Option Agreement

ARTICLE II
SALE AND PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS
2.1 Sale and Purchase. XOMA, within the limitations contained in this
Article, agrees to sell to Pfizer such quantities of Product as Pfizer may
require for sale pursuant to the License Agreement. Subject to the provisions of
Sections 4.1 and 5.1 hereof, so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect,
XOMA agrees to sell, and Pfizer agrees, for 100% of Pfizer's, its Affiliates'
and sublicensees' requirement of Product. It is understood that Xoma shall have
the right in connection with supply hereunder to contract with respect to
manufacture of Product with such third parties as Xoma deems advisable,
provided, however, Xoma shall remain fully responsible hereunder.
2.2 Quantity; Forecasts.
(a) With respect to each Project, Pfizer shall deliver to XOMA (i) at least
four (4) full calendar quarters prior to the calendar quarter in which the First
Commercial Sale of such Product is projected to occur, a forecast of Pfizer's
quantity requirements for such Product for the calendar quarter in which the
First Commercial Sale of such Product is projected to occur
<PAGE>
-3-
and (ii) at least one (1) full calendar quarter prior to the calendar quarter in
which the First Commercial Sale of such Product ("Delivery Date") for such
calendar quarter and a forecast of its quantity requirements for such Product
for the three (3) following calendar quarters. Thereafter, Pfizer shall deliver
to XOMA at or prior to the end of each calendar quarter, Pfizer's firm order and
Delivery Date for such Product for the second calendar quarter following such
calendar quarter and a forecast of its quantity requirements for such Product
for the three (3) following calendar quarters.
For purposes of illustration only, on or before September 30, 1987, Pfizer
must give to XOMA its firm order for delivery of Product in the first calendar
quarter of 1988 and a forecast of its requirements for the second, third and
fourth quarters of 1988. On or before December 31, 1987, Pfizer must give XOMA
its firm order for delivery of Product in the second quarter of 1988, updated
forecasts of its requirements for the third and fourth quarter of 1988 and a
forecast of its requirements for the first quarter of 1989.
(b) For each quarterly forecast of Product, the amount of Product
forecasted for delivery in the first of the three calendar quarters forecasted
shall be not less than fifty percent (50%) or more than one hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the most recent previous forecast for such quarter.
(c) The total amount of each Product ordered by Pfizer for delivery in any
one calendar quarter may not be less than seventy-five percent (75%) of Pfizer's
most recent forecast of its requirements for such Product for such quarter. In
addition, XOMA will not be obligated to supply more than one hundred twenty-five
percent (125%) of Pfizer's most recent forecast of its requirements for such
product for such quarter. If a Pfizer product requirement for any quarter
exceeds 125% of Pfizer's most recent forecast of its requirements for such
Product for such calendar quarter, XOMA and Pfizer will discuss in good faith
the additional amount which XOMA will be able to supply consistent with its
other obligations and Pfizer will adjust its order accordingly (however,
Pfizer's orders will have first priority on equipment funded under the Credit
Agreement between the parties of even date herewith). Pfizer shall indemnify
XOMA and reimburse it promptly upon request for all reasonable out of pocket
costs and expenses, including the cost of carrying increased inventory, to the
extent caused by any deviation in order quantities from the limits imposed by
the preceding sentence, and XOMA will act reasonably to mitigate any such costs
and expenses.
<PAGE>
-4-
2.3 Delivery.
(a) XOMA shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, deliver to Pfizer
all Product ordered by Pfizer. All Products delivered to Pfizer shall be F.O.B.
XOMA's plant or other place of shipment. XOMA shall use its reasonable best
efforts to assist Pfizer in arranging any desired insurance (in amounts that
Pfizer shall determine) and transportation, via air freight unless otherwise
specified in writing, to any destinations specified in writing from time to time
by Pfizer. All customs, duties, costs, taxes, insurance premiums, and other
expenses relating to such transportation and delivery, shall be at Pfizer's
expense.
(b) XOMA will package the Products in accordance with the specifications
set forth in Exhibit II hereto.
2.4 Rejection of Product in Case of Nonconformity.
(a) Pfizer may reject any shipment of Product which is (i) not conforming
with the specifications contained in Exhibit II or (ii) adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Federal, Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the
"Act"). In order to reject a shipment, Pfizer must (i) give notice to XOMA of
Pfizer's intent to reject the shipment within thirty (30) days of receipt
together with an indication of the reasons for such possible rejection, and (ii)
as promptly as reasonably possible thereafter, provide XOMA with notice of final
rejection and the full basis therefor. After notice of intention to reject is
given, Pfizer shall be deemed to have accepted such delivery of Product,
provided, however, in the case of products having latent defects which upon
diligent examination by Pfizer upon receipt could not have been discovered,
Pfizer must give notice of Pfizer's intent to reject within thirty (30) days
after discovery of such defects.
In any event, Pfizer shall pay for the shipment as otherwise provided
herein and shall be entitled to a refund of the purchase price (together with
insurance and freight charges) of rejected Products at the time they are
ultimately rejected, provided that if XOMA disputes the rejection, refund shall
be made at the time the dispute is finally resolved. XOMA shall notify Pfizer as
promptly as reasonably possible whether it accepts Pfizer's basis for any
rejection.
(b) Whether or not XOMA accepts Pfizer's basis for rejection, promptly on
receipt of a notice of rejection, XOMA
<PAGE>
-5-
shall use its reasonable efforts, at Pfizer's request, to provide replacement
Product which shall be purchased by Pfizer as provided hereunder.
(c) Unless XOMA requests the return to it of a rejected batch within sixty
(60) days of receipt of Pfizer's notice of rejection, Pfizer shall destroy such
batch promptly and provide XOMA with certification of such destruction. Pfizer
shall, upon receipt of XOMA's request for return, promptly dispatch said batch
to XOMA, at XOMA's cost.
ARTICLE III
PRICE AND PAYMENTS
3.1 Price. Pfizer shall pay to XOMA for Product purchased hereunder an
amount equal to [*] or such amount as determined under Section 4.1(a) hereof.
3.2 Method of Payment. All payments due hereunder to XOMA shall be paid to
XOMA in United States dollars not later than thirty (30) days following the date
of the applicable invoice.
3.3 Examination of Books. Pfizer shall have the right, at its own expense,
for any period during which Product is purchased by Pfizer hereunder and for one
(1) year thereafter, to have an independent public accountant, reasonably
acceptable to XOMA, examine the relevant financial books and records of account
of XOMA at normal business hours, upon reasonable demand, to determine or verify
the appropriate manufacturing Cost of Product purchased hereunder. If errors of
five percent (5%) or more in Pfizer's favor are discovered as a result of such
examination, XOMA shall reimburse Pfizer for the expense of such examination. As
a condition to such examination, the independent public accountant selected by
Pfizer shall execute a written agreement, reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to XOMA, to maintain in confidence all information obtained during the
course of any such examination except for disclosure to Pfizer as necessary for
the above purpose. The opinion of such independent public accountant shall be
binding on the parties hereto with respect to Manufacturing Cost hereunder.
ARTICLE IV
SUPPLY OBLIGATION
4.1 Termination of Supply Obligations, Breach of Delivery Obligation. In
addition to any Termination of this Agreement
<PAGE>
-6-
under Article V hereof, this Agreement shall terminate as follows:
(a) If at any time after the Initial Term Pfizer notifies XOMA that Pfizer
has received a good faith firm quote from a reputable third party supplier of
recognized standing (other than an Affiliate) to supply Pfizer for a period of
at least two years with all Pfizer's requirements of any Product at a price
which is less than 75% of XOMA's then current transfer price to Pfizer of such
product, XOMA shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice to notify
Pfizer that XOMA intends or does not intend to reduce its then applicable
transfer price of such Product to a price no greater than 125% of the third
party quoted price effective upon the expiration of such 60-day period. If XOMA
fails to give such notice or notifies Pfizer that it does not intend to so
reduce its then applicable transfer price of such Product, Pfizer may, upon
thirty (30) day's prior notice to XOMA, elect to terminate its obligations
hereunder to purchase, and XOMA's obligations to supply, such product.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pfizer shall have not rights under this Section
4.1(a) if the third party quote is given in connection with or in anticipation
of some other relationship with Pfizer.
(b) If XOMA materially fails to deliver the amount of any Product ordered
by Pfizer as required hereunder for any reason, including force majeure, or XOMA
fails to deliver Product conforming to the warranties set forth in Section 6.1
hereof, in each case for ninety (90) or more consecutive days, then Pfizer may
upon twenty (20) days prior notice to XOMA elect to terminate Pfizer's
obligations to purchase, and XOMA's obligations to supply, such Product
hereunder. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6.2 hereof, and
except in the case where XOMA has generally not been attempting in good faith to
meet its supply obligations, the foregoing shall be Pfizer's sole remedy for
breach of warranty or for failure of XOMA to supply products hereunder.

default may terminate this Agreement.
5.4 Termination of License Rights. In the event any Product supplied

bodily injury to, any person on account of the ingestion or use of any Product,
and any reasonable out-of-pocket costs to Pfizer and its Affiliates of the
recall of any Product (collectively "Pfizer Losses") to the extent (i) such
Pfizer Losses are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by
specific reference in a settlement of litigation consented to by XOMA pursuant
to Section 6.5 to have been caused by XOMA's failure to deliver such Product in
accordance with XOMA's warranties as provided in this Agreement or (ii) such
Pfizer Losses are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by
specific reference in a settlement of litigation consented to by XOMA pursuant
to Section 6.5 to have been caused by XOMA's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
(b) In addition to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(a)hereof, and
except in cases where Xoma is entitled to indemnification under 6.3(a0 hereof,
XOMA shall further indemnify Pfizer for any and all Pfizer Losses arising from
the death of, or bodily injury to, any person on account of the ingestion or use
of any Product to the extent such Pfizer Losses are finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction or by XOMA pursuant to Section 6.5 to have been
caused other than by Pfizer's gross negligence or willful misconduct, and then
(i) with respect to each such incident to the extent of the first $1,000,00 of
XOMA's insurance coverage for such Losses, and (ii) to the extent any Pfizer
Losses exceed Pfizer's recovery pursuant to such insurance, XOMA's
indemnification shall be to the extent of the lesser of (a) such excess Pfizer
Loses or (b) one-half of the aggregate of such excess Pfizer Losses and related
Xoma Losses referred to in Section 6.3(b) hereof. XOMA agrees to use its best
efforts to procure and, at all times during the term of this Agreement and for a
period of three (3) years after the termination hereof, to maintain in full
force and effect liability insurance coverage of at least $1,000,000 per
occurrence (with a deductible of no more than $250,000 aggregate per year
<PAGE>
-9-
with Pfizer as a named insured party as provided herein). Such insurance
shall cover any and all Pfizer Losses (as provided herein for which
indemnification is provided by this Section 6.2(b)) and Xoma's contractual
liability hereunder to indemnify Pfizer as provided in this Section 6.2(b), in
each case to the extent such insurance coverage in such amount is obtainable at
premiums which are reasonable in the reasonable good faith judgment of XOMA.
Xoma, upon request of Pfizer, will supply Pfizer with appropriate certificates
of insurance evidencing the foregoing insurance.
6.3 Pfizer Indemnification.
(a) Pfizer shall indemnify XOMA against any and all liability, damages,
loss, cost and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees made against or
sustained by XOMA or any of its Affiliates arising from the death of, or bodily
injury to, any person on account of the ingestion or use of any Product
(collectively "XOMA Losses") to the extent such XOMA Losses are finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by specific reference in a
settlement of litigation consented to by Pfizer pursuant to Section 6.5 to have
been caused by Pfizer's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) In addition to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.3(a) hereof, and
except in cases where Pfizer is entitled to indemnification under Section 6.2(a)
hereof, Pfizer shall further indemnify XOMA for any and all XOMA Losses arising
from the death of, or bodily injury to, any person on account of the ingestion
or use of any Product to the extent such XOMA Losses are finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction or by specific reference in a settlement of
litigation consented to by Pfizer pursuant to Section 6.5 to have been caused
other than by XOMA's gross negligence or willful misconduct, and then with
respect to each incident to the extent of the lesser of (a) such XOMA Losses or
(b) one-half of the aggregate of such XOMA Losses and the related Pfizer Loses
referred to in Section 6.2(b) hereof which are in excess of the recovery by
Pfizer under the XOMA insurance policy pursuant to Section 6.2(b) hereof.
6.4 Limitations to Indemnity. The indemnities of Sections 6.2 and 6.3 shall
not apply (i) if the indemnified party fails to give the indemnifying party
prompt notice of any claim it receives and such failure materially prejudices
the indemnifying party, or (ii) unless the indemnifying party is given the
opportunity to approve any settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Furthermore, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for attorneys'
fees or expenses of litigation of the indemnified party unless the indemnified
party gives the indemnifying party the opportunity to assume control of the
defense or settlement. In addition, if the indemnifying party assumes such
control, it shall only be responsible for the legal fees and litigation expenses
of the attorneys it designates to assume control of the litigation. In no event
shall the indemnifying party assume control of the defense of the indemnified
party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall be given
or not at its sole discretion).

where it keeps any of the Security or any of the records related thereto or
of any change in Xoma's circumstances that affects or
<PAGE>
12
may affect the continuing efficacy of any financing statement or other
document filed by Xoma or Pfizer or, subject to Pfizer's specific
instructions for perfection or protection of any Foreign Security under the
Foreign Laws, the continuing status of Pfizer's security interests and
liens as the first valid and perfected security interests and liens on the
Security in the U.S.A. and the continuing status of Pfizer's security
interests and liens as the first valid and perfected consensual security
interests and liens on the Security in countries other than the U.S.A.;
provided, however, Pfizer shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by Xoma in complying with Pfizer's instructions for
perfecting or protecting Pfizer's rights and interests in any Foreign
Security under the Foreign Laws. Xoma shall promptly notify Pfizer of the
need for Pfizer under the laws of the United States or any political
subdivision within the United States to take any action or to execute any
financing statement, filing, application, assignment, registration, notice,
document of further assurances or other document or writing to perfect or
protect the rights and interests of Pfizer in any Security that is
hereafter acquired, controlled or owned by Xoma including, without
limitation, prompt notice of the need to take any action or to file any
document or writing to perfect or protect Pfizer's rights and interests in
any Patent in the United States or any political subdivision within the
United
<PAGE>
13
States and prompt notice of the filing of any application for a Patent
anywhere in the Territory. Xoma shall give notice to Pfizer on the first
business day of every other month of its activities in countries other than
the U.S.A. to enable Pfizer to specify any action it requires Xoma to take
under the Foreign Laws to perfect or protect Pfizer's rights and interests
in the Foreign Security; provided, however, nothing in this Subsection (a)
shall restrict or limit Xoma's other obligations or agreements under this
Security Agreement. Xoma shall take such action as Pfizer may reasonably
require to perfect or protect Pfizer's rights and interests in the Foreign
Security, and Pfizer shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by Xoma in taking any such action.
(b) Xoma shall not breach, default or wrongfully terminate any
agreement, contract, lease or license that is encompassed or included in
the Security where such action could have any material adverse effect on
the rights and interests of Pfizer, and Xoma shall give Pfizer written
notice of any allegation or assertion by any other party that Xoma has so
breached, defaulted or improperly terminated any such agreement, contract,
lease or license within five (5) business days of the making of such
allegation or assertion in the case of material matters and within fifteen
(15) business days in other cases. Xoma may terminate any license it has
granted to others that is included or encompassed within the Security in
accordance
<PAGE>
14
with its terms where it is commercially reasonable and does not have any
material adverse effect on Pfizer's rights and interests in the Security
and where Xoma has given Pfizer fifteen (15) business days notice of such
intended termination; provided, however, nothing in this provision or any
other provision of this Security Agreement shall restrict or limit Xoma's
obligations, or waive such obligations, under Section 2.4 of the R&D
Agreement and Section 8 of the License Agreement. Xoma shall also give
Pfizer five (5) business days written notice of its intent to breach,
default, terminate, reject or repudiate any such agreement, contract, lease
or license. Xoma shall not create or suffer to exist or permit any
mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance, equity, assignment or security
interest (other than non-consensual liens or interests on the Foreign
Security that arise in the normal course of Xoma's business) upon or in
respect of the Security and, subject to the provisions of Section 5(a) of
this Security Agreement regarding the Foreign Security, shall take any and
all actions necessary to perfect or protect the rights and interests of
Pfizer in the Security including, without limitation, (i) paying all claims
and charges that in Pfizer's reasonable opinion might prejudice, imperil or
adversely affect the Security in any significant respect or any security
interest or lien of Pfizer in the Security, (ii) reasonably curing any
breaches or defaults relating to or arising out of the Security, and (iii)
commencing or
<PAGE>
15
processing any patent applications or infringement or misappropriation
proceedings or lawsuits relating to the Security in a manner not
inconsistent with the License Agreement. Pfizer acknowledges that Xoma may
conduct its business outside the United States in the ordinary course even
though certain of the Foreign Laws may create non-consensual liens and
encumbrances senior or junior to those of Pfizer. Xoma shall not under any
circumstances permit any Equipment to become a fixture by attachment to any
real property, unless such Equipment is described on any financing
statement filed as a mortgage or fixture filing perfecting Pfizer's
security interests and liens on such Equipment.
(c) Xoma shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any rights or
interests in or to any of the Security other than as permitted by the terms
of this Subsection (c), Section 5(b) or (d) of this Security Agreement or
with Pfizer's written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld in the case of the disposal of obsolete or practically worthless
tangible property, in the case of the settlement of litigation or disputes
with third parties, or in the case of the trade-in of equipment that does
not affect any material portion of the Security. Xoma may use and spend
cash proceeds of the Security in the ordinary course of business as long as
no Event of Default (as such term is defined in Section 10 of this Security
Agreement) occurs and is continuing. Nothing in this
<PAGE>
16
Security Agreement shall be deemed to limit or restrict Pfizer's rights and
interests under the License Agreement, the R&D Agreement, and the Supply
Agreement.
(d) Xoma shall not grant, or agree to grant, to any Affiliate any
rights or interests in any of the Security or to cause any Affiliate to own
any rights or interests in any property that would be included or
encompassed within the Security if any such rights and interests were held
by Xoma. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Security Agreement,
Xoma, prior to an Event of Default, shall be permitted to license
(exclusively or nonexclusively) to any person or entity any of the
Security, including the Technical Information and the Patents, subject to
the rights and interests of Pfizer created by this Security Agreement and
subject to and not inconsistent with Pfizer's rights and interests under
the License Agreement, the R&D Agreement, and the Supply Agreement. Xoma
shall not secure the performance of any of its obligations or agreements
under any such license permitted under the immediately preceding sentence
of this Subsection (d) or the payment of any claims arising under such
license by creating or suffering to exist or permitting any mortgage,
pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance, equity, assignment or security interest
upon or in respect of any of the Security.
<PAGE>
17
(e) To the extent reasonably desirable for the protection of Pfizer's
rights and interests in the Security, Xoma shall keep accurate and complete
records of the Security and, after any Event of Default, the proceeds
therefrom and, after any Event of Default, shall keep the Security and the
proceeds therefrom separate and distinct from its other property. After any
Event of Default shall have occurred, Xoma shall account for, and, promptly
deliver to Pfizer, in the form received, all proceeds of the Security
received, endorsed to Pfizer as appropriate, and until so delivered, all
proceeds shall be held by Xoma in trust for Pfizer, separate and apart from
all other property of Xoma and identified as the Security of Pfizer.
(f) Risk of loss of the Security shall be on Xoma, and the loss,
injury or destruction of the Security shall not release Xoma hereunder. To
the extent commercially reasonable, Xoma shall insure the Equipment in such
amounts and against such risks, as Pfizer shall reasonably deem acceptable,
and Xoma shall deposit complete insurance policies or copies thereof with
Pfizer; provided, however, Pfizer has agreed that Xoma's current insurance
policies on the Equipment are commercially reasonable.
<PAGE>
18
Pfizer shall be named as an insured and loss payee under such insurance
policies. If Xoma fails to obtain appropriate insurance covering the
Equipment in a timely fashion, Pfizer may, but shall not be obligated to,
obtain such insurance and the cost thereof shall be immediately due and
owing from Xoma to Pfizer and shall become a Secured Obligation and, at
Pfizer's option, set-off against any amounts owing to Xoma under the
License Agreement or Supply Agreement. Xoma hereby irrevocably appoints
Pfizer as its agent to adjust all insurance losses, to sign all
applications, receipts, releases, and other papers necessary to collect any
such loss and any return or unearned premium, to execute proofs of loss, to
make settlements, to endorse and collect any check or other item payable to
Xoma issued in connection therewith, and to apply the same to payment of
the debt; provided, however, Pfizer may exercise the rights set forth in
this sentence of this Subsection (f) only after an Event of Default.
(g) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, promptly upon
Pfizer's request, Xoma shall sign and execute together, alone or with
Pfizer, as Pfizer shall determine, any financing statement, filing,
application, assignment, registration, notice, document of further
assurances or other document or writing or take such other additional
actions as Pfizer may reasonably require to perfect or protect the rights
and interests of Pfizer in the Security (including, without limitation,
making any
<PAGE>
19
filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office that may be
requested by Pfizer or assigning to Pfizer any application, instrument or
authorization that seeks or grants approval or authority for the
manufacture, production or sale of any E5 Product, Other Antibody Product,
and/or Other Septic Shock Product). Except after an Event of Default,
nothing in this Security Agreement shall accelerate or expand Xoma's
disclosure obligations beyond those obligations set forth in other
agreements between Xoma and Pfizer; provided, however, (i) Xoma shall
provide to Pfizer notice of the filing of any application for a Patent or
the issuance of any Patent anywhere in the Territory and (ii) Xoma shall
provide to Pfizer all information that is reasonably necessary for Pfizer
to perfect its security interests and liens in the Security. Xoma, however,
hereby irrevocably appoints Pfizer as its agent to execute such documents
or take such other action as is reasonably necessary to perfect or protect
Pfizer's rights and interests in the Security. Xoma shall not file or
authorize to be filed in any jurisdiction in the Territory or with any
public office any financing statement, filing, application, assignment,
registration, notice, document of further assurances or other document or
writing relating to the Security in which Pfizer is not named as the sole
secured party or assignee; provided, however, Xoma may record or file any
Existing License (as such term is defined in Section 7 of this Security
<PAGE>
20
Agreement) if (i) such recording or filing does not have the effect of
perfecting or creating a security interest or lien in the Security and
(ii) such recording or filing would be subject to and not inconsistent
with the rights and interests of Pfizer created by this Security
Agreement and subject to and not inconsistent with the provisions of
Section 7 of this Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Security Agreement, Xoma shall not be required to
file, prosecute, enforce or maintain any Patent or any application for
a Patent except to the extent required by the Agreements; provided,
however, nothing in this sentence of this Subsection (g) shall affect,
limit or restrict (i) whatever rights or remedies Pfizer may possess
after an Event of Default under this Security Agreement or under law or
equity and (ii) Xoma's obligations and agreements after an Event of
Default.
(h) Xoma shall keep the Equipment in good condition and repair, normal
wear and tear excepted. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(c) of this
Security Agreement, Xoma shall do all acts that may be reasonable and
necessary to maintain, preserve, and protect the Security that is tangible
personal property, including the payment of all repair, maintenance, and
preservation costs relating to the Security. Xoma shall pay promptly when
due all taxes, assessments, charges, encumbrances, levies, and liens now or
hereafter imposed upon or affecting the Security subject to Xoma's right to
contest in good faith
<PAGE>
21
any such claim or lien and to defer payment pending the resolution of such
contest unless Pfizer's rights or interests in the Security shall be
materially threatened or diminished by such deferral of payment.
(i) Xoma shall not use or permit any Security to be used unlawfully or
in violation of any provision of this Security Agreement, or any applicable
statute, regulation or ordinance or any policy of insurance covering the
Security. To the extent not inconsistent with the License Agreement or any
other written agreement between Pfizer and Xoma, Xoma shall appear in and
defend any proceedings or lawsuits that may affect its right, title or
interest to the Security or Pfizer's rights or interests in the Security in
the United States and, at Pfizer's expense, any other country in the
Territory where directed to by Pfizer.
6. After an Event of Default has occurred, Pfizer, at its option, may, in
its name or in the name of Xoma or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or
receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or
in exchange for, or make any compromise or settlement deemed desirable with
respect to, any of the Security, but Pfizer shall be under no obligation to do
so, or Pfizer may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in
installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, or release, any of the Security,
without thereby incurring responsibility to, or discharging or otherwise
affecting any liability of Xoma.
<PAGE>
22
7. After an Event of Default has occurred, Pfizer may also, at its option
and without notice to or demand on Xoma, and in addition to all rights and
remedies available to Pfizer as a secured party, at law or in equity or
otherwise, (a) foreclose or otherwise enforce Pfizer's security interests and
liens or other rights and interests in the Security in any manner permitted by
law or provided for in this Security Agreement, (b) sell or otherwise dispose of
the Security or any part thereof or interest therein at one or more public or
private sales at Pfizer's place of business or any other place or places,
whether or not such Security is present at the place of sale, for cash or credit
or future delivery, on such terms and in such manner as Pfizer may reasonably
determine, (c) recover from Xoma the reasonable costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred or paid by Pfizer in
exercising any right, power or remedy provided by law or this Security Agreement
(including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
assembling, taking, repairing or selling the Security or any part thereof), (d)
require Xoma to promptly assemble the Security and all information, books,
records, and other materials relating thereto and make such available to Pfizer
at a place to be designated by Pfizer, (e) enter onto the property where any
Security is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial
process, (f) cure any breach, default or improper termination of any agreement,
contract, lease or
<PAGE>
23
license of Xoma that is included or encompassed in the Security, (g) substitute
itself for Xoma in any proceeding or lawsuit included or encompassed within,
arising from, related to or connected with the Security or Pfizer's rights and
interests in it (including, without limitation, substituting itself for Xoma in
any proceeding seeking the approval of any application for a Patent or any
proceeding seeking approval or authority for the manufacture, production or sale
of any E5 Product, Other Antibody Product, and/or Other Septic Shock Product) or
commence, on behalf of Xoma and in Xoma's name, any proceeding or lawsuit to
protect the Security or Pfizer's rights and interests in it, and (h) prior to
the disposition of the Security, prepare it for disposition in any manner and to
the extent Pfizer deems appropriate. Xoma shall be given ten (10) business days
prior written notice of the time and place of any public sales or of the time
after which any private sales or other intended dispositions are to be made,
which notice Xoma hereby agrees shall be deemed reasonable notice thereof;
provided, however, Pfizer shall not be required to give such notice in the case
of any Security that Pfizer in good faith determines to be declining speedily in
value. Upon any sale or other disposition pursuant to this Security Agreement,
Pfizer shall have the right to deliver, assign, and transfer to the purchaser
thereof the Security or portion thereof so sold or disposed of by Pfizer. Each
purchaser at any such sale or other disposition (including Pfizer) shall
<PAGE>
24
hold the Security free from any claim or right of whatever kind, including any
equity or right of redemption of Xoma.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Security Agreement, Pfizer
(for the purposes of this second paragraph of this Section 7 the term "Pfizer"
means Pfizer and its Affiliates, successors, and assigns) covenants for the
benefit of Xoma and any licensee or sublicensee of any of the Security from Xoma
that, in or after exercising its rights and remedies under this Security
Agreement, Pfizer shall not sue for infringement or misappropriation any person
or other entity (a "Licensee") that has licensed or sublicensed rights in any of
the Security, including any of the Patents and Technical Information, from Xoma
pursuant to a license (or sublicense) (an "Existing License") that is not
inconsistent with or contrary to the provisions of Section 5(d) of this Security
Agreement so long as (i) Xoma or Pfizer, as Xoma's successor in interest, has no
right to terminate such Existing License with such Licensee pursuant to the
terms and conditions of such Existing License or otherwise, including, without
limitation, any rightful repudiation (by words or action) or termination by Xoma
of its obligations, covenants or agreements with such Licensee under an Existing
License, and (ii) Xoma has not rejected its agreement with such Licensee under
an Existing License pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C ss.
365; provided, however, subject to Pfizer's agreement stated in this first
sentence of this second paragraph of this
<PAGE>
25
Section 7, nothing in this Section 7 shall restrict or limit in any fashion or
manner whatsoever (i) Pfizer's rights and interests (including security
interests and liens) in the proceeds of any Existing License and the claims,
causes of action or lawsuits included or encompassed within the Security, (ii)
Pfizer's rights and remedies against a Licensee arising under either an Existing
License, this Security Agreement, the Agreements or otherwise, (iii) the
description and scope of the Security granted to Pfizer pursuant to Section 2 of
this Security Agreement, and (iv) Pfizer's rights or interests in any of the
Security (including, without limitation, all claims and fields of use included
or encompassed within any of the Patents and any of the Technical Information)
or Pfizer's rights or remedies against the Security or Xoma under this Security
Agreement or otherwise.
8. After an Event of Default has occurred, Xoma shall pay to Pfizer all
reasonable expenses of, or incidental to, the enforcement or application of any
of the provisions hereof, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange,
enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement of any of the Security or
receipt of the proceeds thereof, and for the care of the Security and defending
or asserting the rights and claims of Pfizer in respect thereof, by litigation
or otherwise, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
insurance expenses; and all such expenses shall be Secured Obligations within
the terms of this Security Agreement and, at
<PAGE>
26
Pfizer's option, set-off against any amounts owing to Xoma under the License
Agreement or Supply Agreement.
9. No delay on the part of Pfizer in exercising any power or right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any power or right hereunder preclude other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The rights, remedies, and
benefits herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights, remedies or benefits that Pfizer may otherwise have. Xoma hereby waives
presentment, notice of dishonor, and protest of all instruments included in or
evidencing Xoma's liability for payment or performance of the Secured
Obligations or the Security and any and all other notices and demands
whatsoever, whether or not related to such instruments. Xoma hereby waives, to
the full extent permitted by law, the right to plead any statute of limitations
as a defense to any action or proceeding for the enforcement hereof, or for the
enforcement of any of the Secured Obligations.
10. For purposes of this Security Agreement, an "Event of Default" shall be
deemed to occur if (a) Xoma shall materially breach or materially default in the
performance or observance of any of its material obligations, covenants or
agreements under Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 of the R&D Agreement, and such
breach or default is not cured within the cure period following notice thereof
as provided therein, (b) Xoma shall materially breach or materially default in
the
<PAGE>
27
performance or observance of any of its material obligations, covenants or
agreements under the License Agreement, and such breach or default is not cured
within the cure period following notice thereof as provided therein, (c) Xoma
shall breach or default in the performance of or observance of any of its
obligations, covenants or agreements under Section 5(d) of this Security
Agreement or (d) Pfizer obtains a judgment for money or specific performance
against Xoma arising out of Xoma's breach or default in the performance of its
obligations, covenants or agreements under this Security Agreement (other than
Section 5(d) of this Security Agreement) and such judgment goes unsatisfied for
a period of thirty (30) days after the resolution of the last appeal taken by
Xoma of such judgment; provided, however, nothing in this Section 10 shall
restrict or limit Pfizer's right to bring an action in equity or law against
Xoma for its breach or default of any of its obligations, covenants or
agreements set forth in this Security Agreement or in the Agreements.
11. No provision hereof shall be modified or limited except by a written
instrument expressly referring hereto and to the provision so modified or
limited. This Security Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of Xoma and Pfizer and shall be assignable by Pfizer to any of its
Affiliates. Xoma and Pfizer intend to bind any subsequent purchaser of the
Security in accordance with the provisions of Section 17 of this Security
Agreement.
<PAGE>
28
12. No course of dealing, omission or delay of Pfizer in the exercise of
any right, power or privilege referred to in this Security Agreement or in
either of the Agreements shall operate as a waiver hereof, nor shall any partial
exercise thereof preclude any further exercise thereof, as Pfizer may exercise
each such right, power or privilege either independently or concurrently and as
often and in such order as Pfizer deems expedient. Nothing in the Agreements and
the Supply Agreement shall be deemed to limit or restrict Pfizer's remedies,
rights and interests under this Security Agreement.
13. Any notice, consent or approval required under this Security Agreement
shall be in writing sent by registered or certified airmail, postage prepaid, or
by telex or cable (confirmed by such registered or certified mail) and addressed
as follows:
If to Pfizer: If to Xoma:

All notices shall be deemed to be effective on the date of mailing. In case any
party changes its address at which notice is to be received, written notice of
such change shall be given without delay to the other party.
14. If Pfizer, pursuant to Sections 4, 6.1 or 10.2 of the R&D Agreement or
Section 9.03 of the License Agreement (or in the case of an Other Septic Shock
Product accepted under
<PAGE>
29
Section 4.2 of the R&D Agreement in accordance with the terms of a license
agreement between Pfizer and Xoma with respect thereto), (a) rejects its option
to acquire rights to any Other Antibody Product or Other Septic Shock Product or
terminates its rights or licenses with respect to any such Other Antibody
Product or Other Septic Shock Product or any E5 Product (the "Rejected or
Terminated Product") and (b) Pfizer no longer has any right under the R&D
Agreement to exercise an option at any time in the future to acquire such rights
to such Rejected or Terminated Product or to acquire any other rights or
interests in such Rejected or Terminated Product, (i) such Rejected or
Terminated Product shall no longer be included or encompassed within the
Security if it is in no fashion or manner otherwise included or encompassed
within the Security and (ii) any Security that is exclusively and solely used in
and related to such Rejected or Terminated Product and is in no fashion or
manner used in and related to any E5 Product, Other Antibody Product, and/or
Other Septic Shock Product (which is not a Rejected or Terminated Product) shall
also not be included or encompassed within the Security (the "Rejected or
Terminated Security"). Pfizer shall execute any financing statement, filing,
application, assignment registration, notice, document of further assurances or
other document or writing to evidence Pfizer's lack of rights or interests in
any Rejected or Terminated Product and any Rejected or Terminated Security.
<PAGE>

15. If it should appear that any provisions of this Security Agreement are
in conflict with any statute or rule of law of any jurisdiction wherein it may
be sought to be enforced, then such provisions shall be deemed null and void to
the extent that they conflict therewith, but without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof.
16. This Security Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
State of California.
17. To state and evidence the agreements between Xoma and Pfizer embodied
in this Security Agreement, any financing statement or filing made by Pfizer (or
any of its Affiliates) with any governmental authority in the Territory
(including, without limitation, any UCC-1 financing statement) to perfect or
protect Pfizer's rights and interests in the Security shall include the
following language:
Subject to the terms and conditions of a certain Security Agreement
(the "Security Agreement") between Pfizer Inc. (including its
Affiliates (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement),
successors, and assigns) ("Pfizer") and Xoma Corporation ("Xoma"),
Pfizer and Xoma intend that the Security Agreement shall bind Pfizer
and any subsequent purchaser of the Security (as such term is defined
in the Security Agreement) that purchases the Security pursuant to, and
after, Pfizer's exercise of its rights and remedies under the Security
Agreement from suing for infringement or misappropriation any person or
other entity (a "Licensee"; this is the meaning given such term in the
Security Agreement) that has licensed or sublicensed rights in any of
<PAGE>
31
the Security, including any of the Patents and Technical Information
(as such terms are defined in the Security Agreement), from Xoma
pursuant to a license (or sublicense) (an "Existing License"; this is
the meaning given such term in the Security Agreement) that is not
inconsistent with or contrary to the provisions of Section 5(d) of the
Security Agreement so long as (i) Xoma or Pfizer, as Xoma's successor
in interest, has no right to terminate such Existing License with such
Licensee pursuant to the terms and conditions of such Existing License
or otherwise, including, without limitation, any rightful repudiation
(by words or action) or termination by Xoma of its obligations,
covenants or agreements with such Licensee under an Existing License,
and (ii) Xoma has not rejected its agreement with such Licensee under
an Existing License pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11
U.S.C ss. 365; provided, however, subject to Pfizer's agreement stated
in the first sentence of the second paragraph of Section 7 of the
Security Agreement, nothing in Section 7 of the Security Agreement
shall restrict or limit in any fashion or manner whatsoever (i)
Pfizer's rights and interests (including security interests and liens)
in the proceeds of any Existing License and the claims, causes of
action or lawsuits included or encompassed within the Security, (ii)
Pfizer's rights and remedies against a Licensee arising under either an
Existing License, the Security Agreement, the Agreements (as such term
is defined in the Security Agreement) or otherwise, (iii) the
description and scope of the Security granted to Pfizer pursuant to
Section 2 of the Security Agreement, and (iv) Pfizer's rights or
interests in any of the Security (including, without limitation, all
claims and fields of use included or encompassed within any of the
Patents and any of the Technical Information) or Pfizer's rights or
remedies against the Security or Xoma under the Security Agreement or
otherwise.
18. This Security Agreement shall terminate at such time that (a) Xoma
shall have fully performed and complied with, in all material respects, all of
its material obligations
<PAGE>
32
and agreements with Pfizer under the License Agreement (other than any
obligation or agreement stated in Section 10.01 of the License Agreement) and
Section 4.1 of the R&D Agreement and Pfizer, under the Agreements, shall have no
rights or interests (including, without limitation, future rights, interests of
expectancies) in any E5 Product and/or any Other Antibody Product and Pfizer
shall have no right to obtain any such rights or interests; (b) no Event of
Default shall exist and be occurring; (c) no claim or cause of action arising or
resulting from any Event of Default shall exist; and (d) no lawsuit or appeal
thereof that is or could be encompassed in Section 10(d) of this Security
Agreement shall exist or be pending (the events, claims, and occurrences
described in or encompassed or included within Subsections (a) through (d) of
this Section 18 shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as the "Continuing
Obligations"). In the event that Pfizer alleges, in the exercise of its
reasonable judgment, that this Security Agreement has not and cannot terminate
due only to the occurrence or existence of any Continuing Obligation described
in or encompassed or included within Subsection (c) or Subsection (d) of this
Section 18 (an "Open Secured Obligation"), this Security Agreement shall
terminate (in the absence of the occurrence or existence of any other Continuing
Obligation, including any Open Secured Obligation) if, without admitting the
existence or merit of any disputed Open Secured Obligation and without prejudice
to Xoma's right to dispute or
<PAGE>
33
defend against any Open Secured Obligation, (i) Xoma and Pfizer agree as to the
potential liquidated amount of such Open Secured Obligation (the "Claim Amount")
and Xoma shall have provided to Pfizer a letter of credit or surety bond in the
Claim Amount, in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Pfizer, to
secure Xoma's full payment of such Open Secured Obligation upon entry of a final
judgment in Pfizer's favor on such Open Secured Claim or (ii) Xoma and Pfizer
agree to a mechanism or arbitrator to settle the disputes (the "Dispute
Resolution Mechanism") between them regarding the Claim Amount and the form and
substance of the letter of credit or surety bond to be given to Pfizer to secure
Xoma's full payment of such Open Secured Obligation upon entry of a final
judgment in Pfizer's favor on such Open Secured Claim and Xoma provides to
Pfizer the letter of credit or surety bond in the Claim Amount and in the form
and substance established by the Dispute Resolution Mechanism; provided,
however, in the absence of any agreement between Xoma and Pfizer as to the
Dispute Resolution Mechanism, a federal court having jurisdiction over Xoma and
Pfizer (or, if no jurisdiction shall exist in any federal court in the United
States, then the Superior Court of California for the County of Alameda) shall
serve as the Dispute Resolution Mechanism in accordance with and subject to the
provisions of Subsection (ii) of this Section 18. Nothing in this Security
Agreement shall cause this Security Agreement or the rights and interests
created hereunder to terminate or lapse or shall
<PAGE>
34
cause any property of Xoma to not be included or encompassed within the Security
due to the rejection or repudiation of Xoma's obligations and agreements
(including, without limitation, a rejection under 11 U.S.C. ss. 365) stated in
this Security Agreement or either of the Agreements except in accordance with
and consistent with the express terms and provisions of such agreements.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Security Agreement
to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

hereafter owned, licensed, acquired or otherwise controlled) against
Centocor/Velos Releasees, or any of them, or their distributors or customers or
any health care professionals, for the making, using or selling of the HA-1A
Product, except that in the case of University Releasors, this covenant not to
sue is limited to patent rights administered by The Office of Technology
Transfer, Manager, Licensing, Biotechnology of the University ("OTT"). In
addition, [*] covenant that they will not hereafter cause or assist in the
assertion, instigation, maintenance or pursuit of any claim for infringement,
contributory infringement or inducement of
9
<PAGE>
infringement of University Patent Rights against [*]
[*], or any of them, or their customers or any health care professionals, for
the making, using or selling of any [*].
5. The California Action. Promptly upon execution of this Agreement, Xoma
and Centocor shall (a) execute and file a stipulation in the form annexed hereto
as Exhibit A providing for the dismissal of the Appeal and (b) execute and file
a final judgment on consent in the California Action in the form annexed hereto
as Exhibit B.
6. The Delaware Action. Promptly upon execution of this Agreement, Xoma,
Pfizer and Centocor shall execute and file a final judgment on consent in the
Delaware Action in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C.
7. The ITC Proceeding. Promptly upon execution of this Agreement, Xoma and
Centocor shall execute and file a stipulation in the form annexed hereto as

8. Further Consideration. From the date of FDA
10
<PAGE>
approval of the product license application for the HA-1A Product [*] ("Centocor
HA-1A Product Royalty Term"), Centocor shall pay to Xoma royalties of [*] of all
Net Sales of HA-1A Product in the United States. [*] [*]
The term "Net Sales" shall mean the [*] [*] sold by Centocor during the
Centocor HA-1A Product Royalty Term or the Centocor [*] Royalty Term, as the
case may be, to any [*] less the sum of deductions actually applicable to such
sales for: (a) discounts and allowances; (b) credits for rejected, damaged and
returned goods; (c) transportation charges; and (d) tariffs, import/export
duties, excise taxes, value added taxes, sales and use taxes and other similar
governmental charges
11
<PAGE>
paid in connection with any such sales (collectively, "Deductions"). Net Sales
of HA-1A Product or any Non-HA-1A Product shall not include sales of HA-1A
Product or any Non-HA-1A Product by Centocor to [*], but shall include the [*],
less Deductions, for HA-1A Product [*] during the Centocor HA-1A Product Royalty
Term or the Centocor Non-HA-1A Product Royalty Term, as the case may be, to [*].
Within 90 days following the end of each calendar quarter during the
Centocor HA-1A Product Royalty Term and/or Centocor Non-HA-1A Product Royalty
Term in which Net Sales of HA-1A Product or any Non-HA-1A Product are made,
Centocor shall provide to Xoma a written report setting forth the total Net
Sales of HA-1A Product and/or any Non-HA-1A Product made during that quarter and
the aggregate fee due and payable to Xoma for such quarter, and with such report
Centocor shall remit to Xoma the amount of royalty payment shown thereby to be
due. If no Net Sales of HA-1A Product or any Non-HA-1A Product are made during
any such quarterly reporting period, a statement to that effect shall be made.
Centocor shall keep complete and accurate books and records for the latest
three (3) years during the Centocor HA-1A Product Royalty Term and/or the
Centocor Non-HA-1A Product Royalty Term showing the Net Sales of HA-1A Product
and any Non-
12
<PAGE>
HA-1A Product. Such records shall be in sufficient detail to enable the
royalties payable hereunder by Centocor to be determined. Centocor shall permit
the books and records referred to in this paragraph to be examined by Arthur
Andersen & Co., but not more than twice in any calendar year. Any such
examinations shall be at the expense of Xoma and conducted during reasonable
business hours of Centocor and upon reasonable notice to Centocor. The purpose
of any such examination shall be solely for verifying the amount of Net Sales of
HA-1A Product and/or any Non-HA-1A Product and the royalties payable as provided
for in this Agreement, and Arthur Andersen & Co. shall keep such information in
strict confidence, except as legally required in the judgment of counsel to
Arthur Andersen & Co., and disclose to Xoma only Net Sales of HA-1A Product and
any Non-HA-1A Product and royalties due and payable thereon.
In the event any royalties payable under this Article 8 are not received by
Xoma when due, Centocor shall pay to Xoma interest charges on the total
royalties due but unpaid at the rate of [*] per annum or the highest rate
permitted by law (whichever is lower). In the event that any examination of
Centocor's records by Arthur Andersen & Co. under this Article 8 discloses that
the amount of the royalties paid for any quarterly reporting period was more
than [*] less than the amount finally determined to be due, Centocor shall pay
Xoma the reasonable cost of such examination.

9. Other Proceedings. No party to this Agreement shall commence or
voluntarily participate in any suit or proceeding (including, without
limitation, any patent opposition or reexamination proceeding), or otherwise
assert any claim challenging or denying the validity of any claim contained in
any University Patent Rights, Centocor Patent Rights, U.S. Velos
14
<PAGE>
Patent Rights and/or Non-U.S. Velos Patent Rights; except that nothing in this
Agreement shall prevent Pfizer from challenging or denying the validity of any
claims contained in any Centocor Patent Rights, U.S. Velos Patent Rights and/or
Non-U.S. Velos Patent Rights (sometimes hereinafter referred to as
"Centocor/Velos Patent Rights") in response to any claims against Pfizer for
infringement, contributory infringement or inducement of infringement of
Centocor/Velos Patent Rights. Immediately after the effective date of this
Agreement, Xoma and Pfizer shall cease to participate in any proceeding with
respect to any and all oppositions filed against European Patent No. 0 151 128;
provided that such conduct shall not constitute evidence that Pfizer
acknowledges the validity of said European Patent in any proceeding charging
Pfizer with infringement of said European Patent. No party to this Agreement
shall voluntarily make any statement which is slanderous, libelous or otherwise
defamatory of any other party hereto or its employees.
10. Representations and Warranties.
(a) Centocor and Velos represent and warrant that the making, having made,
using and selling of E5 Product does not infringe any patents or patent
applications owned by or licensed to Centocor or Velos as of the date hereof
except for Centocor Patent Rights, U.S. Velos Patent Rights and Non-U.S. Velos
Patent Rights.
(b) Xoma, Pfizer and University represent and warrant
15
<PAGE>
that the making, having made, using and selling of HA-1A Product does not
infringe any patents or patent applications owned by or licensed to Xoma, Pfizer
or University (in University's case, administered by the OTT) as of the date
hereof except for University Patent Rights.
(c) Each party to this Agreement represents and warrants that (i) it has
full right and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its
obligations hereunder without consent or approval of any third person; and (ii)
that it is not subject to any restriction which would impair its rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Each party further represents and warrants

Agreement and to render it binding upon it.
(d) Centocor and Velos shall indemnify and hold harmless Xoma, Pfizer and
University from any loss, cost, expense or expenditure (including reasonable

Article 1 hereof or the covenants not to sue set forth in Article 2 hereof.
(e) Xoma, Pfizer and University (and in the University's case, only for the
direct release herein by the University) shall indemnify and hold harmless
Centocor and Velos from any loss, cost, expense or expenditure (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) suffered or incurred by Centocor or Velos in
connection with any breach by Xoma, Pfizer or University of the
16
<PAGE>
release(s) set forth in Article 3 hereof or the covenants not to sue set forth
in Article 4 hereof.
11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall
be deemed to be and constitute one and the same instrument; and in making proof
of this Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than
one such fully executed Agreement.
12. No Prior Assignment. The parties (in the case of University, the OTT)
hereto, and each of them, hereby represent and warrant that none of them has
assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, any claim, right, demand or cause
of action which it may now have or may have had or claim to have, of whatever
kind or nature, against any other party hereto, or any of the directors,
officers, employees, partners, affiliates, parents, subsidiaries,
representatives, agents or attorneys of such party, either in their
representative or in their individual capacities, to any other person,
corporation or other entity in any manner, including but not limited to
assignment or transfer by subrogation or by operation of law. In the event that
any party shall have assigned or transferred, or purported to assign or to
transfer, any claim or other matter herein released, such party shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless each other party from and against any loss, cost, claim
or expense (including but
17
<PAGE>
not limited to all costs related to the defense of any action, including
reasonable attorneys' fees) based upon, arising out of or occurring as a result
of any such claim, assignment or transfer.
13. Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by any party without
the prior written consent of each of the other parties which consents shall not
be unreasonably withheld. Xoma covenants that it will not sell or otherwise
transfer its business relating to the E5 Product and/or University Patent Rights
(or the right to sue thereunder) without requiring the transferee(s) to assume
in writing all of the obligations of Xoma under this Agreement. Centocor
covenants that it will not sell or otherwise transfer its business relating to
the HA-1A Product and/or Centocor Patent Rights, U.S. Velos Patent Rights and/or
Non-U.S. Velos Patent Rights (or the right to sue thereunder) without requiring
the transferee(s) to assume in writing all of the obligations of Centocor under
this Agreement.
Xoma and/or University shall record, and request the United States Patent
and Trademark Office and each foreign patent office in which University Patent
Rights are pending or have issued, to file with each patent or patent
application included in University Patent Rights, a statement that each such
patent or patent application is subject to an agreement which transfers rights
thereunder to Centocor and Velos and which provides that
18
<PAGE>
such patents or patent applications may not be further assigned or licensed
hereunder unless any such assignee or licensee agrees to accept Xoma's
obligations hereunder. Centocor and Velos shall record, and request the United
States Patent and Trademark Office and each foreign patent office in which
Centocor Patent Rights, U.S. Velos Patent Rights and/or Non-U.S. Velos Patent
Rights are pending or have issued, to file with each patent or patent
application included in Centocor Patent Rights, U.S. Velos Patent Rights and/or
Non-U.S. Velos Patent Rights a statement that each such patent or patent
application is subject to an agreement which transfers rights thereunder to
Xoma, Pfizer and University and which provides that such patents or patent
applications may not be further assigned or licensed hereunder unless any such
assignee or licensee agrees to accept Centocor's obligations hereunder (and in
the case of Non-U.S. Velos Patent Rights any such assignee or licensee agrees to
accept Velos' obligations hereunder).
14. Stanford/Velos/Centocor Licenses. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, nothing in this Agreement is intended, nor shall be deemed, to
affect or modify in any way the rights and obligations, if any, of University,
Stanford, Velos and Centocor under the Stanford/Centocor License or the
Velos/Centocor License dated June 25, 1987 as amended.
15. Execution of Agreement. This Agreement may be amended, modified or
otherwise changed only in a writing signed by all parties hereto. Each party
further represents and warrants that, except as set forth in this Agreement, it
has not
19
<PAGE>
relied upon or been induced by any representation, statement or disclosure of
any other party but has relied upon its own knowledge and judgment and upon the
advice and representation of counsel of its own selection in entering into this
Agreement, that it has read and fully understands the terms of this Agreement
and is fully advised as to the legal effect thereof.
16. Confidentiality. The parties agree that all terms of this Agreement
shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the
parties' directors, officers, employees, partners, accountants, insurers and
attorneys, except as legally required in the judgment of counsel to the parties,
provided that Centocor and Xoma will issue the press release attached hereto as
Exhibit E at 8:00 A.M. Eastern Standard Time on the first business day following
the effective date of this Agreement. Xoma, University and Pfizer shall maintain
information received from Centocor pursuant to this Agreement in strict
confidence and shall use the same only for the purpose of confirming the
royalties due hereunder.
17. Remedies For Breach. The parties acknowledge that their remedy at law
for breach of this Agreement may not be adequate and, therefore, each of the
parties agrees that any party shall be entitled to the equitable remedy of
specific performance in the event of a breach or threatened breach by any other
party, without any bond or other security being required.
20
<PAGE>
18. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement
shall, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provision hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.
19. Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall take or cause to
be taken all such further actions to execute, deliver and file or cause to be
executed, delivered and filed such further documents and instruments, and to use
reasonable best efforts to obtain such consents, as may be necessary or as may
be reasonably requested in order to fully effectuate the purposes, terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

hereto shall bear its own costs, expenses and attorneys' fees, whether taxable
or otherwise, incurred in, or arising out of or connected with the Delaware
Action, the California Action, the Appeal and the ITC Proceeding.

accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to

Civil Code and any other provision of law now or hereafter enacted, adjudicated
or sought to be adjudicated relating to the release or waiver of unknown or

provides that "[a] general release does not extend to claims which the creditor
does not know or suspect to exist in his favor
22
<PAGE>
at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially
affected his settlement with the debtor." For purposes of this Agreement, each
of the parties acknowledges and agrees that he, she or it may be considered to
be both a "creditor" and a "debtor" for all purposes and with respect to all
claims, he, she or it may not know or suspect to exist within the meaning of
Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any other provision of law now or
hereafter enacted, adjudicated or sought to be adjudicated relating to the
release or waiver of unknown or unspecified claims.
23. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, transferees and
assigns.
24. No Implied Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed to grant by implication, estoppel or otherwise any license or freedom
from suit under any patent or patent application other than University Patent
Rights, Centocor Patent Rights, U.S. Velos Patent Rights and Non-U.S. Velos
Patent Rights or any patent which would be infringed by the manufacture, use or
sale of HA-1A Product or E5 Product.
25. Entire Agreement. With the exception of the license agreement between
Xoma and University related to
23
<PAGE>
University Patent Rights, this Agreement, together with the exhibits hereto,
constitutes, on and as of the effective date hereof, the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior or
contemporaneous understandings or agreements, whether written or oral, between
or among the parties with respect to such subject matter are hereby superseded
in their entireties.

Exhibit E
Centocor and XOMA Announce Settlement of All Outstanding Litigation and Disputes
Centocor, Inc. of Malvern, PA (NASDAQ: CNTO) and XOMA Corporation of
Berkeley, CA (NASDAQ: XOMA) announced today an agreement to settle all
outstanding litigation and disputes regarding each company's products, patents
and patent applications related to anti-endotoxin monoclonal antibodies.
The agreement covers the XOMA v. Centocor litigation in the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of California and pending appeals, a proceeding
initiated at the U.S. International Trade Commission, and the Centocor v. XOMA
lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
Centocor has agreed to pay royalties to XOMA for U.S. sales, if any, of its
monoclonal antibody HA-1A, and the companies have agreed to forego all future

Massachusetts 01887 ("CRBS") and XOMA CORPORATION, a Delaware company with its
principal offices located at 2910 Seventh Street, Berkeley, CA 94710 "XOMA".
PURPOSE
XOMA desires to engage the facilities and services of CRBS for the production of
ascites (the "Product" or "Products") from the cell line owned by XOMA described
in the Statement of Work attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Statement of Work"),
and CRBS desires to undertake such production, all according to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Statement of Work and a certain
Purchase Order hereinafter described.
Intending to be legally bound hereby, CRBS and XOMA hereby agree as follows:
1.0 TERM; SCOPE
1.1 The effective date of this Agreement (the "Effective Date") shall
be February 27, 1989, such date being the date on which this Agreement, the
Statement of Work and the Purchase Order (as hereinafter described) are mutually
agreed to and accepted by XOMA and CRBS. The initial term of this Agreement
shall be for one (1) year from the Effective Date.
1.2 The parties may extend the term of this Agreement for one or more
additional terms (an "Additional Term") by a written renewal agreement entered
into no later than the eight (8) month anniversary of the Effective Date,
revising the provisions hereof as they may agree for each Additional Term.
1.3 This Agreement, including the Statement of Work and the Purchase
Order attached hereto and made a part hereof, covers the purchase by XOMA of
Products produced by CRBS during the Initial Term and any Additional Term. A
description of the Product is set forth in the Statement of Work.
2.0 PURCHASES; COMMITMENTS; PURCHASE ORDER
2.1 XOMA shall be obligated to purchase a guaranteed amount of Products
during the Initial Term as specified in the Purchase Order and CRBS guarantees

Products.
2.2 XOMA shall initially order Products under the Agreement by issuing

tested and is acceptable. If XOMA gives notice to CRBS to retain an agreed upon
shipment of Product, then XOMA will pay for that shipment of Product within 30
days from the later of the date of invoice or the receipt of samples of Product,
provided the Product sample is found to be acceptable.
3.2 The agreed upon prices for Product as set forth in the Purchase
Order includes the cost to CRBS of production, bulk product packaging, and
internal quality assurance activities as set forth in the Statement of Work. The
prices do not include sales, use, excise or any other similar taxes imposed by

3.3.2 The price for Product shall be reduced [*] percent [*]
if XOMA finds after testing three or more successive lots or five lots
cumulatively unacceptable due to failure of the Product to meet the
specifications set forth in the Statement of Work. The price for
Product shall also be reduced [*] percent [*] for each shipment which
is not "timely" (as defined in Sections 4.2 and 7.0). This reduction in
price shall apply only to the replacement(s) for each unacceptable lot
and/or untimely Product shipment and shall not affect XOMA's right of
termination set forth in Section 6.
-3-
<PAGE>
3.3.3 XOMA shall pay CRBS a "bonus" of an additional [*]
percent [*] over and above the price for Product where such Product is

as provided to CRBS and manufactured according to the Statement of Work. Upon
notification by XOMA that the Product is not acceptable, CRBS shall replace the
Product or remit to XOMA an amount equal to the price actually paid by XOMA to
CRBS for the unacceptable Product. Any modification of the Product by XOMA shall
void this warranty. The foregoing warranty shall be subject to XOMA maintaining
the Product in accordance with CRBS's instructions. THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF,

learned from said audit, whether received in writing, orally or by observation,
is confidential and proprietary pursuant to a Secrecy Agreement between XOMA and
CRBS dated as of December 8, 1988 (the "Secrecy Agreement").
5.5 In the event XOMA concludes following an audit pursuant to Section
5.4 that CRBS has been or is presently engaging in activities which reasonably

CRBS shall either correct such violation or commence reasonable corrective
action pursuant to a corrective action plan deemed appropriate by XOMA within 30
days.

bankrupt or insolvent.

available for any subsequent breach of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement.

the terms of this Agreement, except for failure to make timely payments

civil riot or insurrection, acts of the Federal Government or any agency
thereof, or judicial action. The time for performance where delay is excusable

of the excused delay, provided that all reasonable efforts are taken by a party
to overcome the delay.

AMENDMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT AGREEMENT ("Amendment Agreement"), made as of this 17th day
of October, 1991, by and between CHARLES RIVER LABORATORIES, INC., a Delaware
corporation with its principal offices located at 251 Ballardvale Street,
Wilmington, Massachusetts 01887 ("CRL"), and XOMA CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation with its principal offices located at 2910 Seventh Street, Berkeley,
California 94710 ("XOMA").
Background/Purpose
XOMA and CRL entered into a Supply Agreement dated as of December 8, 1988
(as amended to date, the "Supply Agreement"), for the production by CRL of
murine ascites fluid ("Ascitic Fluid") from two cell lines owned by XOMA: N024
(or E5) for septic shock (the "E5 Product") and N020 (or H65) for graft-vs-host
reactions (together with the E5 Product, the "Products"). [*] the parties hereby
agree to amend the Supply Agreement in the manner set forth below.
1. Nullification of Previous Amendment Agreement. By their execution of
this Amendment Agreement, CRL and XOMA hereby agree that the Amendment Agreement
dated as of March 1, 1991, between CRL and XOMA (the "Expansion Amendment"),
relating to the reservation of expansion space at CRL's ascites manufacturing
facilities in Raleigh, North Carolina (the "Raleigh Facility") and the
reimbursement of fixed facility and operating expenses by XOMA, shall be a
nullity as of December 31, 1991 and shall be of no further force or effect on or
after such date. The nullification of the Expansion Amendment shall not,
however, relieve either party of any duties or obligations thereunder,
including, without limitation, the obligation to pay any expenses, fees or
reimbursement amounts which were incurred pursuant to the Expansion Amendment on
or before December 31, 1991. In the event of a conflict between the terms of
this Amendment Agreement and the terms of the Expansion Amendment, the terms of
this Amendment Agreement shall prevail.
-1-
<PAGE>
2. Amendment of Existing Purchase Order. Pursuant to Section 14.1 of the
Supply Agreement, the Supply Agreement and Purchase Order #31100-2 currently
outstanding thereunder for calendar year 1991 (the "Existing Purchase Order")
are each hereby amended by substituting for the Existing Purchase Order the
purchase order attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Modified 1991 Purchase
Order"). XOMA hereby acknowledges that it understands the terms of the Modified
1991 Purchase Order and agrees (i) to execute and deliver the Modified 1991
Purchase Order simultaneous with the execution of this Amendment Agreement and
(ii) that the Modified 1991 Purchase Order shall take effect upon execution and
shall supersede in all respects the Existing Purchase Order. CRL and XOMA
acknowledge and agree that the Modified 1991 Purchase Order, when read in
conjunction with Section 7 of this Amendment Agreement, requires XOMA to
guarantee payment to CRL of an aggregate of [*] for Ascitic Fluid produced by
CRL during calendar year 1991.
3. 1992 Purchase Order. CRL and XOMA hereby agree that, during calendar
year 1992, CRL will deliver the quantities of Ascitic Fluid set forth on Exhibit
B hereto in accordance with the schedule set forth therein, which will result in
CRL delivering to XOMA a quantity of Ascitic Fluid sufficient to require XOMA to
pay CRL aggregate payments of at least [ * ] (the "1992 Minimum Payment") during
such calendar year. Ascitic Fluid which is available for delivery on a specified
date, but segregated and not shipped pursuant to Section 6 of this Amendment
Agreement, shall be deemed "delivered" for purposes of this Amendment Agreement.
Attached hereto as Exhibit C is a form of purchase order (the "1992 Purchase
Order"), which Purchase Order sets forth the specific terms necessary to ensure
that CRL receives not less than the 1992 Minimum Payment in connection with the
sale of Ascitic Fluid to XOMA in calendar year 1992. XOMA hereby acknowledges
that it has read and understands the terms of the 1992 Purchase Order and agrees
to execute and deliver the 1992 Purchase Order simultaneous with the execution
of this Amendment Agreement.
4. Availability of Production Space. Effective January l, 1992, CRL hereby
agrees [*]
-2-
<PAGE>
[*]. The reservation of the Reserved Space and, if necessary, the Expansion
Space shall be at no additional charge to XOMA, but XOMA shall under no
circumstances be relieved of its obligation to pay CRL, in accordance with the
terms of the 1992 Purchase Order, for any additional quantities of Ascitic Fluid
ordered by XOMA in excess of the amount required to ensure the 1992 Minimum
Payment. In its effort to meet any of XOMA's additional production requirements
for Ascitic Fluid, CRL will not be required to accelerate its production process
or increase the concentration of animals located in the Reserved Space or the
Expansion Space in a manner which CRL determines, in its reasonable business
judgment following consultation with XOMA, would likely impair CRL's ability to
maintain applicable health and safety standards including, without limitation,
health and safety standards applicable to the production of Ascitic Fluid, the
operation of the Facility, the well-being of persons in the facility or any
other health and safety standards imposed by law.
5. Maintenance of Core Staff. CRL hereby agrees to maintain a core staff of
trained production, quality assurance and other key personnel at the Raleigh
Facility sufficient to (i) ensure the timely delivery of the 1992 Minimum
Requirement and (ii) meet any reasonable requests from XOMA for the production
of additional quantities of Ascitic Fluid in compliance with "Good Manufacturing
Procedures" as set forth in CRL's License Applications to the FDA.
6. Segregation of E5 Product. If requested by XOMA, CRL will, subject to
reasonable space limitations, segregate but not ship E5 Product which is already
tested for, and has passed, release specifications (the "Segregated Inventory").
Title to and risk of loss of the Segregated Inventory shall pass to XOMA upon
segregation of the Segregated Inventory. When such Segregated Inventory is
subsequently shipped, CRL agrees to insure such Segregated Inventory during
shipment in accordance with CRL's customary practice of insuring Ascitic Fluid
in transit.
7. Guarantee. XOMA shall be obligated to purchase [*] Products (i) to be
supplied by CRL in calendar year 1991 and (ii) delivered in calendar year 1992
which are necessary to ensure that XOMA will pay the 1992 Minimum Payment, as
specified in the Modified 1991 Purchase Order and 1992 Purchase Order,
respectively, and CRL shall be obligated to produce and deliver said guaranteed
amount. XOMA shall be obligated to purchase [*] to be supplied by CRL in
calendar year 1992 in excess of the amount
-3-
<PAGE>
necessary to ensure that XOMA will pay the 1992 Minimum Payment and CRL shall be
obligated to produce and deliver such excess amount.
8. Extension of Supply Agreement. Pursuant to Section 1.2 of the Supply
Agreement, the Supply Agreement shall be extended through December 31, 1992, to
include coverage of the deliveries scheduled for calendar year 1992.
9. Other Terms. All other terms and conditions of the Supply Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that modification is
necessary to reflect the nullification of the Expansion Amendment as of December
31, 1991 and the agreements set forth herein.
10. Long-Term Agreement. The parties agree that, following FDA approval of
the E5 Product, the current supply arrangement evidenced by the Supply Agreement
will be extended for an additional period of not less than [*], and also
modified so as to [*].
11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Supply Agreement, all
notices to be delivered to XOMA shall be directed to the attention of XOMA's
Legal Department.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, CRL and XOMA have caused this Amendment Agreement to be
executed by their duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above
written.

AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made as of the 31 day of August 1988 by and between XOMA
CORPORATION ("XOMA") a Delaware Corporation with its principal place of business
located at 2910 Seventh street, Berkeley, California, 94700, USA and SANOFI, a
French Corporation, with its principal place of business located 40, Avenue
George V, 75008 - Paris, France.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Sanofi is a pharmaceutical company which has great experience in the
immunology field and which is a pioneer in the immunotoxins field, and is the
owner of various patents for Immunotoxins, and
WHEREAS, Xoma is a corporation which has performed innovative work in that field
and has already developed, among other things, H65 RTA a product currently used
in vivo bone marrow treatment, and
WHEREAS, Xoma is desirous of obtaining a license under Sanofi's patents referred
to above, and
WHEREAS, Sanofi has accepted to license said patents to Xoma under the terms and
conditions contained herein, and
WHEREAS, the purpose of this Agreement is to define Xoma's and Sanofi's rights
and obligations with respect to the granted rights.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above stated premises and the promises
contained herein, it has been agreed as follows between Xoma and Sanofi.
<PAGE>
-2-
ARTICLE 1 - DEFINITIONS
The following terms as used in this Agreement shall have the following meanings
unless otherwise indicated:
1. Party or Parties shall mean respectively either Xoma or Sanofi as the
context requires, or both Xoma and Sanofi.
2. Affiliate(s) shall mean either a corporation or other business entity
which, directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled by one of the
Parties, or a company in which majority of the capital is owned by one
of the Parties.
3. Immunotoxin shall mean any preparation containing an antibody or
fragment to which ricin A chain or any derivative is conjugated.
4. Product shall mean any pharmaceutical preparation or formulation that
includes an Immunotoxin.
5. Selected Indications shall mean any preventive or curative therapeutic
human treatment in any field except ophthalmology.
6. Date of Commercialization shall mean the date after government general
marketing approval has been given in a Country when any Product is first
offered for sale by Xoma or one of its Affiliates in that Country.
7. Net Sales shall mean the invoiced sales to a non Affiliate Party after
the Date of Commercialization and after deducting:
(a) customary trade discounts; reasonable quantity and cash
discounts;
(b) freight, delivery and insurance if included in the price;
(c) value added, sales, use or turnover taxes, and exercise taxes or
customs duties included in the invoiced amount;
(d) rebates allowed to the purchaser of the Product pursuant to
government regulations under any national health insurance
program.
(e) returns
8. Territory shall mean the whole world
<PAGE>
-3-
9. Patents shall mean all pending and issued patents filed by Sanofi or its
Affiliates as of the date hereof relating to Immunotoxins. Exhibits 1
and 2 sets forth, to the best of Sanofi's knowledge, a complete list
thereof. The term Patents shall include any extensions, amendments,
continuations, continuations in-part, foreign equivalents, divisional
and reissue applications and reissue patents thereof, having claims
directed to an Immunotoxin or directed to a method of making or using
it.
10. Patents rights shall mean all rights derived from a Patent.
ARTICLE 2 - SUBJECT MATTER OF THE AGREEMENT:
Sanofi hereby grants to Xoma for the term of this Agreement a semi-exclusive
license under the Patents to use, develop, manufacture, sell and otherwise to
commercialize Products in the Territory for the Selected Indications.
Semi-exclusive means that Sanofi retains its rights under the Patents to develop
its own Products in its discretion and using the means it will elect to apply to
that development, to market its own Products through its subsidiaries, but
Sanofi will not give a license to a third party under any of the Patents for the
Selected Indications in the Territory except in one case: Sanofi may market its
own Products through a third party but in that case Xoma will be granted a right
of first refusal to the commercialization of such Products with respect to any
third parties.
The license to Xoma includes the right to sublicense to both affiliates and non
affiliates in whole or in part any of the rights licensed to it under this
Agreement provided that any sublicense granted by Xoma shall substantially
conform to the provisions of this Agreement. Xoma shall inform Sanofi before
negotiating any sublicense with a non affiliate for the sole purpose of
providing Sanofi with this information. Xoma shall also promptly inform Sanofi
when Xoma concludes an agreement with another.
ARTICLE 3 - TERM:
This Agreement shall enter into effect as of the date of its execution. For each
Product, in each country of commercialization, Xoma retains a royalty free right
to commercialize the Product after the end of the period of commercialization
which is subject to royalties according to article 4 of this Agreement.
<PAGE>
-4-
ARTICLE 4 - ROYALTIES:
a) So long as an issued Patent is in force in a country and covers a
Product, whenever Xoma manufactures or sells the Product for a Selected
Indication by itself or through an Affiliate to a non-affiliated third
party it shall pay Sanofi a [*] royalty of Xoma's Net Sales for that
country. If instead Xoma merely licenses a non-affiliated third party to
commercialize the Product for a Selected Indication in such country , it
shall pay Sanofi [*] of the net royalties it receives.
b) Royalties payable by Xoma shall be reduced by any amounts reasonably
paid (including license and legal fees) to third parties in connection
with any claim that Xoma's sale of Products covered by the Patents
infringes the rights of another in a manner within the scope of the
Patents.
c) If Sanofi licenses a third party to market Sanofi's own Products in a
country in the Territory and Xoma does not exercise its right of first
refusal and if the Sanofi Products are competitive with Xoma Products
then being marketed or then under research and development by Xoma, then
the royalty rate hereunder in those countries in which the Sanofi
Products are introduced shall be reduced [*].
d) Xoma agrees to pay Sanofi the total minimum annual royalties set forth
below, which royalties shall be a credit against the royalty obligations
incurred for any Products during the applicable year. The minimum
royalties shall begin in the first fiscal year which is at least 12
months after the Date of Commercialization of the first Product:
Year 1 25,000 $
Years 2-3 40,000 $
Years 4-7 50,000 $
ARTICLE 5 - PAYMENT OF ROYALTIES:
(i) Royalty payments made by Xoma to Sanofi shall be made at Sanofi's office
referred to above or such other place as Sanofi may designate in writing, within
ninety (90) days after the close of each sixmonth period.
Payment will continue on a semi-annual basis.
Each payment shall be accompanied by a true and complete statement of Product
sold by country, during the relevant period, showing the manner the royalties
were computed. Xoma shall maintain a special accounting procedure incorporating
all entries required for the accurate assessment of trading transactions made by
itself, its subsidiaries and licensees. This special account shall be made
available to Sanofi annually and in confidence until four years from the year of
compilation. <PAGE>
-6-
(ii) All royalties made in countries other than the United States shall accrue
in the currency of the country in which the sales are made. Xoma shall convert
payments hereunder into U.S. dollars as long as permissible under local law, at
the exchange rate used by Xoma, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for purposes of its certified financial statements.
Xoma will use its best efforts to secure U.S. dollar transfers in respect of
such royalty payments. In the event U.S. dollars are for any reason legally not
available for transfer, Xoma may discharge its royalty payment obligations by
depositing said royalty payments to the credit of Sanofi, or its nominee, in any
recognized banking institution to be designated by Sanofi in the country in
which the sales are made and in the currency of that country.
ARTICLE 6 - COMMERCIALIZATION - MAINTENANCE OF PATENTS:
a) Xoma will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to develop and
to commercialize as promptly and as efficiently as possible after the
necessary governmental approvals have been obtained.
b) Sanofi agrees to maintain the Patents in each country in which they are
filed and to pursue diligently the issuance of any Patents filed but
not yet issued. Sanofi will consult with Xoma on Patents not yet
issued, or the extension, reissuance or amendment of the Patents and
will give Xoma the opportunity, at its expense to advise in the scope
and pursuit thereof.
c) If either party learns of an infringement of, or other challenge to, the
Patents by a third party, they shall consult on the proper course of
action. If Sanofi elects not to defend, Xoma may do so and off-set
royalties owed by any reasonable costs incurred. Benefits from any
defense conducted by Xoma shall be split equally after costs are
reimbursed. If Sanofi and Xoma agree to settle the matter or if for any
other reason Sanofi is properly compelled to license others under the
Patents, Xoma's royalty shall be reduced to 1% below the rate paid by
the third party on competitive Products. If the infringement is not
pursued by Sanofi or Xoma, Xoma's royalty on competitive Products in
Japan, the United States and any European country shall be terminated
when sales of the infringing entity equal 20% of Xoma's or its licensees
sales in such country and shall be reduced by half in any other country
in which that situation arises.
ARTICLE 7 - CONFIDENTIALITY:
Subject as herein provided, it is expressly agreed that any confidential
information, where applicable, received by either party under this Agreement is
submitted for use only in strict confidence and that during the term of this
Agreement and for a period of 5 years thereafter, the receiving party shall not
disclose any such confidential information to any third party without the
other's prior written consent; disclosure shall be exempt from this article to
extent that either party is able to prove that:
(a) at the time of the communication the receiving Party previously had the
information as evidenced by written documents;
<PAGE>
-7-
(b) the information is publicly divulged through no fault of the receiving
party;
(c) the information is supplied to receiving party by a third party who is
under no obligation to the disclosing party to maintain such information
in confidence; or
(d) the information is developed by or for the receiving party independently
of the disclosure made under this Agreement.
All such information shall be disclosed in writing and designated confidential
or, if disclosed orally, shall be confirmed in writing and designated
confidential within thirty (30) days of disclosure.
Each party shall make all necessary arrangements to cause its Affiliates and
their employees to comply with this obligation of secrecy.
ARTICLE 8 - RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL:
The right of first refusal given to Xoma for the commercialization of Sanofi's
Product will be exercized by Xoma on the following conditions:
Upon approval to commence Phase III efficacy human clinical trials or after
receipt of approval for general commercialization, Sanofi shall inform Xoma by
registered mail of Sanofi's intention to license a third party to market one of
Sanofi's own Products, in some portion of the Territory, the terms of the
proposed license and the identity of the licensee. Within 60 days of receipt of
this letter, Xoma shall respond whether it agrees to act as Sanofi's licensee
for that Product on terms which in material respects are equivalent to the
financial terms described by Sanofi. In its response, Xoma must set forth its
reasonable basis for believing it can effectively serve as Sanofi's licensee for
this Product. Sanofi and Xoma wish to cooperate in this regard and agree to use
their good faith, commercially reasonable best efforts to establish Xoma as the
licensee. If Sanofi nonetheless concludes in good faith that Xoma cannot
effectively perform the licensee responsibility or if Xoma does not exercise its
first refusal right, Sanofi may elect to conclude within 180 days of Xoma's
response an agreement with the original party on the specified terms. Sanofi
cannot materially change any of these terms in a manner adverse to it without
first so notifying Xoma and giving it the opportunity, for 30 days after receipt
of such information, to reconsider its decision. If Sanofi does not conclude its
agreement within such 180 days period (or 90 days after any Xoma opportunity for
reconsideration) Xoma's right of first refusal shall be reviewed on the same
terms as provided above.
If Xoma exercises its right of first refusal and becomes licensee of that Sanofi
Product, Sanofi agrees it will not market, directly or through another in that
part of the Territory a Product which addresses the same disease unless such
other Product demonstrates substantially improved performance from the Product
then marketed by Xoma.
<PAGE>
-8-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may mutually agree that it is
desirable for Sanofi to discuss possible licensing arrangements with Xoma prior
to entering discussions with others. The Parties will review this when the case
arises.
ARTICLE 9:
This Agreement does not preclude Xoma and Sanofi to conclude case by case
specified agreements related to, for example, research services or production of
Sanofi's own Products.
ARTICLE 10:
If, in the future, Sanofi for the commercialization of one of its Products needs
to have the license of one or several of Xoma's patents, Xoma will use its best
efforts to negotiate with Sanofi at that time in good faith.
ARTICLE 11:
Upon execution of the present Agreement, the legal proceedings between Sanofi
and Xoma will be terminated without prejudice.
ARTICLE 12 - TERMINATION:
12.1 In addition to pursuing all other remedies, either Party may terminate
this Agreement on notice to the other Party if the other Party
materially breaches any material obligation or representation under this
Agreement and does not cure such breach and provide notice thereof to
the other Party (i) within ninety days after written notice to the
breaching Party setting forth, in reasonable detail, the nature of the
alleged breach or (ii) if the alleged breach is contested in good faith,
within 30 days of the resolution of such dispute in accordance with this
Agreement.
12.2 This Agreement shall be terminated by operation of law in the event of
suspension of activities because of the bankruptcy of Sanofi and/or
Xoma.
12.3 Upon termination of this Agreement, its Articles 4 and 5 with respect to
prior sales and 7 shall survive.
ARTICLE 13 - MISCELLANEOUS:
13.1 No agency
The status of the Parties under this Agreement shall be that of
independent contractors and neither Party shall be deemed or construed
to be an employee, agent, partner or legal representative of the other
Party for any purpose whatsoever. Neither Party shall have the right or
authority to assume or otherwise create any obligation or
responsibility, express or implied, on behalf or in the name of the
other Party or to bind the other Party in any manner or thing
whatsoever.
<PAGE>
-9-
13.2 Entire Agreement
This Agreement embodies the entire understanding of the Parties as it
relates to the subject matter hereof, and this Agreement supersedes any
prior agreements or understandings between the Parties with respect to
such subject matter. No amendment or modification of this Agreement
shall be valid and binding upon the Parties unless in writing and signed
on behalf of each Party by its duly authorized officers.
13.3 Waiver
Should either Party fail to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or
fail to exercise, or waive, any right in respect thereto, such failure
or waiver shall not be construed as constituting a waiver or continuing
waiver of its rights to enforce such provision or right or any other
provision or right.
13.4 Assignment
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and assigns;
provided, however, that except as provided herein neither Party shall
assign any of its rights or privileges hereunder without the prior
written consent of the other Party, except to an Affiliate or to a
successor in interest (or its equivalent) or in case of acquisition or
merger of Xoma.
13.5 Notices
Any notice, payment or report required or permitted under this Agreement
shall be delivered by hand or by registered or certified mail to the
following addresses:

or to such other person or address as shall hereafter furnished by written
notice to the other Party.
13.6 Force majeure
Each party shall be excused for failures and delays in performance
caused by war, governmental proclamations, ordinances or regulations,
or strikes, lockouts, floods, fires, explosions or other catastrophes
beyond the reasonable control and without the fault of such Party. This
provision shall not, however, release such Party from using its
reasonable best efforts to avoid or remove all such causes, and such
Party shall continue performance hereunder with the utmost dispatch
whenever such causes are removed. Any Party claiming such excuse for
failure or delay in performance shall give prompt notice thereof to the
other Party, and neither Party shall be required to perform hereunder
during the period of such excused failure or delay in performance
except as otherwise provided herein.
13.7 Invalidity
If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any
situation or circumstance, shall be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to
situations or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid
or unenforceable, shall not be affected; and each remaining provision
of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable laws. In the event of such partial invalidity,
the Parties shall seek in good faith to agree on replacing any such
legally invalid provisions by provisions which, in effect, will, from
an economic viewpoint, most nearly and fairly approach the effect of
the invalid provision.
13.8 Xoma indemnifies and holds harmless Sanofi and its agents, servants,
and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, or
actions of any character presented or brought by third parties for
injuries or death to persons and damages to property caused by or
arising out of the testing, manufacture, sale or use by products by
Xoma covered by the Patents, including any defects in such subject
matter. This indemnity shall include, but not be limited to, court
costs, attorneys' fees, costs of investigations and cost of defense
associated with such demands, claims suits or actions. Sanofi shall
promptly notify Xoma of any such claim which comes to its attention.
<PAGE>

ARTICLE 14 - APPLICABLE LAW - ARBITRATION
This Agreement and matters in connection with the performance hereof shall be
construed, interpreted, applied and governed in all respects in accordance with
the laws of New York. Any disputes arising in connection with this Agreement
shall be finally settled under the Rules of Conciliation and Arbitration of the
International Chamber of Commerce in New York by one arbitrator mutually
agreeable to Xoma and Sanofi or by three arbitrators, one selected by each Party
and the third selected by these two. The prevailing party, as designated by the
arbitrator shall bear the other party's legal fees and costs of arbitration.
ARTICLE 15 - DISCLOSURE
The Parties agree to keep the terms hereof confidential. This Agreement will not
be filed with any governmental entity by any Party unless legally required and
then only after it has provided the other Party with a 10 days opportunity to
review the need for filing. Any filing will be made with requests for
confidentiality to the extent permitted by law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed
in three originals by their duly authorized representatives on the date first
written above.

the cDNA as described in subparagraph l.e.(i)(4) and a third
party is producing and selling a BPI Product by a manufacturing
process using means other than such claimed cDNA then CORPORATION
shall have no royalty obligation with respect to such Licensed
Product.
(4) a royalty of [*] of the Net Sales of any Licensed Product
described in Section 1.1.(cc) or (dd) and sold by COPORATION or
its sublicensees (including CORPORATION Entity) for as long as
CORPORATION maintains the License except as follows in i) and ii)
below:
(i) If a Licensed Product in Section 1.1.(cc) or (dd) is covered
solely by a CORPORATION Patent having claims directed to the
cDNA as described in Section 1.r.(i)(4) then the royalty
owed by the CORPORATION to NYU shall be reduced by [*].
(ii) If a Licensed Product in Section 1.1.(cc) or (dd) is covered
solely by an NYU Patent having claims directed to the cDNA
as described in Section 1.r.(i)(4) and a third party is
producing and selling a P15 Product by a manufacturing
process using means other than such
-22-
<PAGE>
claimed cDNA then CORPORATION shall have [*] with respect to
such Licensed Product.
(5) If any Licensed Product is covered solely by a CORPORATION Patent
then the royalty owed by the CORPORATION to NYU with respect to
such Licensed Product shall be [*] of the Net Sales of such
Licensed Product sold by CORPORATION or its sublicensees
(including CORPORATION Entity) for as long as CORPORATION
maintains the License.
b. For the purpose of computing the royalties due to NYU hereunder, the
year shall be divided into two parts ending on June 30 and December
31. CORPORATION shall, within forty-five (45) days from the end of
each December and June in each calendar year during the term of the
License, submit to NYU a full and detailed report of royalties or
payments due NYU under the terms of this Agreement for the preceding
half year (hereinafter "the Part-Year Report"), setting forth the
following:
i) gross sales of Licensed Products and Combination Products, i.e.,
the amount invoiced prior to any deductions,
ii) the deductions permitted under subsection 1.m. hereof to arrive
at Net Sales, and
iii) the royalty computations and subject of payment.
In determining Net Sales of Combination Products, Net Sales will be
multiplied by the percent value of BPI Product and/or the P15
-23-
<PAGE>
Product contained in the Combination Product. Such percent value being
the quotient obtained by dividing the costs of manufacturing the BPI
Product and/or the P15 Product by the sum of the cost of the
manufacturing of the BPI Product and/or the P15 Product plus other
biologically active ingredients. All such costs of manufacturing shall
be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
practices and audited by an independent certified public accountant.
If no royalties are due, a statement shall be sent to NYU stating such
fact. The full amount of any royalties or other payments due to NYU
for the preceding part of the year shall accompany each such report on
royalties and payments. CORPORATION shall keep and shall cause its
sublicensees to keep for a period of at least three (3) years after
the date of entry, full, accurate and complete books and records
consistent with sound business and accounting practices and in such
form and in such detail as to enable the determination of the amounts
due to NYU from CORPORATION pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
c. On reasonable notice and during regular business hours, NYU shall have
the right to have the books of accounts, records and other relevant
documentation of CORPORATION or of Corporation Entity inspected by
independent auditors as set forth herein. If NYU desires to perform
such audit, NYU shall notify CORPORATION. Within fourteen (14) days
after receipt of such notice, CORPORATION shall designate one of the
"Big-6" accounting firms which does not have CORPORATION as a client
-24-
<PAGE>
and shall notify NYU of CORPORATION's designation and NYU shall engage
such accounting firm to perform such audit on NYU's behalf. If
CORPORATION falls to notify NYU of such designated accounting firm
within such fourteen day period, NYU shall have the right to select
and engage any accounting firm to perform such audit on NYU's behalf.
If errors of five percent (5%) or more in NYU's favor are discovered
as a result of such examination, CORPORATION shall reimburse NYU for
the expense of such examination. CORPORATION shall undertake to have
sublicensees of CORPORATION provide audited reports to NYU; if any
sublicensee does not provide such reports to NYU, CORPORATION shall
have conducted, at no expense to NYU, an audit of such sublicensee's
records with respect to the production, marketing and sale of Licensed
Products and Combination Products every two years, commencing two
years after the effective date of such sublicensee's agreement with
CORPORATION.
d. If a patent license from a third party is necessary for the
manufacture or sale of a Licensed Product or Combination Product,
CORPORATION shall be entitled to deduct from royalties which would
otherwise be due to NYU under Section 9.a.(3) and/or 9.a.(4) hereof,
the amount of royalties which CORPORATION must pay to such third party
for such license. This deduction, however, shall not exceed [*] of the
royalties otherwise due under this Agreement.
-25-
<PAGE>
e. [*]
f. In the event that NYU exercises its right to convert the License
granted herein to a non-exclusive license pursuant to Sections 8.e. or
9.f., the parties shall negotiate in good faith a reduction of the
royalties stated in Sections 9.a.(3), 9.a.(4) and 9.e., at a rate
commensurate with a non-exclusive license effective prospectively from
the date such negotiated reduction is reduced to writing and signed by
both parties.
-26-
<PAGE>
g. In the event the License granted herein is converted to a
non-exclusive license pursuant to Section 9.e. and NYU grants a
nonexclusive license to practice the Research Technology to a third
party, NYU shall advise CORPORATION as to those terms which are
different in such other license agreement(s), whereupon CORPORATION
may determine whether such terms are more favorable than those granted
to CORPORATION. CORPORATION shall, at its election, be entitled upon
written notice to NYU to have this Agreement amended to substitute all
terms of such more favorable license for all terms of this Agreement
as of the date upon which such more favorable license shall have
become effective. Such amendment shall, as to royalty, apply only to
prospective royalties.
10. Method of Payment.
a. Royalties and any other payments due to NYU hereunder shall be paid to
NYU in United States dollars. Any royalties and such payments that
accrue in a foreign currency shall be converted into United States
dollars based on the closing buying rate of the Morgan Guaranty Trust
Company of New York applicable to transactions under exchange
regulations for the particular currency on the last business day of
the accounting period for which payment is due.
b. CORPORATION shall be responsible for payment to NYU of all royalties
due on sale, transfer or disposition of Licensed Products by the
sublicensees of CORPORATION.
-27-
<PAGE>
11. Publication.
a. Prior to submission of publication of a manuscript describing the
results of any aspect of the NYU Research Project, NYU shall send
CORPORATION a copy of the manuscript to be submitted, and shall allow
CORPORATION sixty (60) days from the date of receipt to determine
whether the manuscript contains such subject matter for which patent
protection should be sought prior to publication of such manuscript,
for the purpose of protecting an invention made by the NYU Scientists
during the course and within the term of the NYU Research Protect.
Should CORPORATION believe the subject matter of the manuscript
contains a patentable invention, then prior to the expiration of sixty
(60) days from the receipt date of such manuscript to CORPORATION by
NYU, CORPORATION shall give written notification to NYU of its
determination that such manuscript contains patentable subject matter
for which patent protection should be sought.
b. After the expiration of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt such
manuscript to CORPORATION, unless NYU has received the written notice
specified above from CORPORATION, NYU shall be free to submit such
manuscript for publication to publish the disclosed research results
in any manner consistent with academic standards.
c. Upon receipt of such written notice from CORPORATION, NYU will
thereafter delay submission of the manuscript for an
-28-
<PAGE>
additional period of up to ninety (90) days to permit preparation and
filing of U.S. patent application by NYU on the subject matter to be
disclosed in such manuscript. After expiration of such 90-day period,
or the filing of a patent application on each such invention,
whichever shall occur first, NYU shall be free to submit the
manuscript and to publish the disclosed results.
12. Infringement of NYU Patent.
a. In the event a party to this Agreement acquires information that a
third party is infringing one or more of the NYU Patents and/or the
JOINT Patents and CORPORATION Patents, the party acquiring such
information shall promptly notify the other party to the Agreement in
writing of such infringement.
b. In the event of an infringement of the NYU Patents and/or the JOINT
Patents, CORPORATION shall be privileged but not required to bring
suit against the infringer, and to join NYU as a party plaintiff in
such suit. Should CORPORATION elect to bring suit against an infringer
and NYU is joined as a party plaintiff in any such suit, NYU shall
have the right to approve the counsel selected by CORPORATION to
represent CORPORATION. The expenses of such suit or suits that
CORPORATION elects to bring, including any expenses of NYU incurred in
conjunction with the prosecution of such suit or the settlement
thereof, shall be paid for entirely by CORPORATION and CORPORATION
shall hold NYU
-29-
<PAGE>
free, clear and harmless from and against any and all costs of such
litigation, including attorneys' fees. CORPORATION shall not
compromise or settle such litigation in which NYU is joined as a party
plaintiff without the prior written consent of NYU which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
c. In the event CORPORATION exercises the right to sue herein conferred,
it shall have the right to first reimburse itself out of any sums
recovered in such suit or in settlement thereof for all costs and
expenses of every kind and character, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, necessarily involved in the prosecution of any such suit, and if
after such reimbursement, any funds shall remain from said recovery,
CORPORATION shall promptly pay to NYU an amount equal to fifty percent
(50%) of such remainder and CORPORATION shall be entitled to receive
and retain the balance of the remainder of such recovery. If
CORPORATION is not fully reimbursed for the costs and expenses of
litigation from said recovery, CORPORATION shall have the right to
deduct from royalties otherwise due to NYU, an amount equal to fifty
percent (50%) of such unreimbursed costs and expenses, provided,
however, that such deduction when combined with any other deduction
against royalties permitted under this Agreement, shall not at any
time exceed fifty percent (50%) of the royalties payable to NYU on
each payment date.
d. If CORPORATION does not bring suit against said infringer pursuant to
Section 12.b. herein, or has not commenced
-30-
<PAGE>
negotiations with said infringer for discontinuance of said
infringement, within 90 days after receipt of such notice, NYU shall
have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit for such
infringement and to join CORPORATION as a party plaintiff, in which
event NYU shall hold CORPORATION free, clear and harmless from and
against any and all costs and expenses of such litigation, including
attorneys' fees. If CORPORATION has commenced negotiations with an
alleged infringer of the NYU Patent and/or the JOINT Patents for
discontinuance of such infringement within such 90-day period,
CORPORATION shall have an additional ninety (90) days from the
termination of such initial 90-day period to conclude its negotiations
before NYU shall bring suit for such infringement. In the event NYU
brings suit for infringement of the NYU Patents and/or the JOINT
Patents, NYU shall have the right to first reimburse itself out of any
sums recovered in such suit or settlement thereof for all costs and
expenses of every kind and character, including reasonable attorneys'
fees necessarily involved in the prosecution of such suit, and if
after such reimbursement, any funds shall remain from said recovery,
NYU shall promptly pay to CORPORATION an amount equal to fifty percent
(50%) of such remainder and NYU shall be entitled to receive and
retain the balance of the remainder of such recovery.
e. Each party shall always have the right to be represented by counsel of
its own selection in any suit for infringement of
-31-
<PAGE>
the NYU Patents and/or the JOINT Patents instituted by the other party
to this Agreement under the terms hereof. The expense of such counsel
shall be borne by the party initiating such infringement suit.
f. CORPORATION agrees to cooperate fully with NYU at the request of NYU,
including, by giving testimony and producing documents lawfully
requested in the course of a suit prosecuted by NYU for infringement
of the NYU Patents and/or the JOINT Patents provided NYU shall pay all
reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by
CORPORATION in connection with such cooperation. NYU shall cooperate
and shall endeavor to cause the NYU Scientists to cooperate with
CORPORATION in the prosecution of a suit by CORPORATION for
infringement of the NYU Patents and/or the JOINT Patents, provided
that CORPORATION shall pay all reasonable expenses (including
attorneys' fees) involved in such cooperation.
g. In the event that there is infringement of the NYU Patents and/or the
JOINT Patents on a commercial scale and neither NYU nor CORPORATION
desire to prosecute an action for infringement and an independent
patent attorney selected upon mutual agreement of NYU and CORPORATION
recommends that an action for infringement not be brought, NYU and
CORPORATION shall negotiate in good faith a reduction to the royalties
stated in Sections 9.a.(3) and 9.f., which reduction shall be
effective prospectively, from the date such negotiated reduction is
reduced to writing and signed by both parties.
-32-
