II. Lease Grant.

    Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Premises from Landlord, together with the right in common with others to use any other portions of the Project that are designated by Landlord for the common use of tenants and others, such as sidewalks, unreserved parking areas, common corridors, elevator foyers, restrooms, vending areas, lobby areas, artificial lakes, walkways, water amenities, landscaping, plaza, roads, driveways, and recreation areas (collectively, the "Common Areas"), including but not limited to that certain recreation area (the "Recreational Area") which is maintained by Landlord in the location and configuration shown on Exhibit A-3 attached hereto; provided that Tenant shall have, subject to the terms of this Lease, the exclusive right to use the corridors, elevator foyers, restrooms, vending areas and lobby areas located with the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant's right to use the Recreational Area shall be subject to the right of the City of Mountain View ("City") to require that a portion of the Recreational Area be paved and used for parking purposes at a time to be determined at the discretion of the City. The area to be used for parking purposes is indicated as "Potential Parking Area" on Exhibit A-3. If the City requires the parking, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use the parking spaces created thereby.

VI. Security Deposit.

    The Security Deposit shall be in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit") which shall: (a) be in the amount of $1,200,000.00; (b) be issued on the form attached hereto as Exhibit G; (c) name Landlord as its beneficiary; (d) be drawn on an FDIC insured financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; and (e) be annually renewable so as to expire no earlier than 60 days after the Termination Date of this Lease. The Letter of Credit shall be delivered to Landlord within 10 Business Days of the execution of this Lease by Tenant, but in no event prior to the Prior Tenant's execution and delivery of the Prior Tenant Modification Agreement referred to in Section IV of Exhibit E. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord without liability for interest (unless required by Law) as security for the performance of Tenant's obligations. The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Tenant's liability for damages. Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use all or a portion of the Security Deposit to satisfy past due Rent (following the expiration of any applicable cure period without cure) or to cure any uncured default by Tenant (following the expiration of any applicable cure period without cure). If Landlord uses the Security Deposit, Tenant shall on demand restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord shall return the Letter of Credit (subject to any permissible draws made upon the Letter of Credit) and any unapplied portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within 45 days after the later to occur of: (1) the determination of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes for the final year of the Term; (2) the date Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises to Landlord in accordance with this Lease; or (3) the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Tenant is not in default at the termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return the Letter of Credit (subject to any permissible draws made upon the Letter of Credit) and any unapplied balance of the Security Deposit to Tenant within 60 day(s) after Tenant surrenders the Premises to Landlord in accordance with this Lease. In addition to any other deductions Landlord is entitled to make pursuant to the terms hereof, Landlord shall have the right to make a good faith estimate of any unreconciled Expenses and/or Taxes as of the Termination Date and to deduct any anticipated shortfall from the Security Deposit, provided that Landlord has first notified Tenant and made demand upon Tenant for such amounts, and Tenant has failed to pay such estimate of unreconciled Expenses and/or Taxes to Landlord within 10 days of the date of Landlord's demand upon Tenant. Such estimate shall be final and binding upon Tenant. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and, following the assignment, Landlord shall have no further liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor Laws now or hereinafter in effect.

VII. Services.

VIII. Leasehold Improvements.

    Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to remove from the Premises all of Tenant's laboratory and related equipment, fixtures, trade fixtures, inventory and removable personal property which has been installed and paid for by Tenant (collectively, "Tenant's FF&E"), provided that Tenant returns the Premises to Landlord broom clean, and in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire and other casualty for which Landlord is required to make repairs hereunder excepted. All improvements (other than Tenant's FF&E) to the Premises (collectively, "Leasehold Improvements") shall be owned by Landlord and shall remain upon the Premises without compensation to Tenant. However, Landlord, by written notice to Tenant within 30 days prior to the Termination Date, may require Tenant to remove, at Tenant's expense: (1) Cable (defined in Section IX.A) installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant and located in the Premises or other portions of the Project; (2) any Leasehold Improvements that are performed by or for the benefit of Tenant and, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, are of a nature that would require removal and repair costs that are materially in excess of the removal and repair costs associated with improvements to buildings of this kind; and (3) all laboratory equipment, benches, laboratory casework, hoods, cleanrooms, lab walls and equipment yard (collectively referred to as "Required Removables"). Without limitation, it is agreed that Required Removables include internal stairways, raised floors, personal baths and showers, vaults, rolling file systems and structural alterations and modifications of any type installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant and located in the Premises or other portions of the Project. The Required Removables designated by Landlord shall be removed by Tenant before the Termination Date, provided that upon prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant may remain in the Premises for up to 5 days after the Termination Date for the sole purpose of removing the Required Removables and Tenant's FF&E. Tenant's possession of the Premises shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including the obligation to pay Rent on a per diem basis at the rate in effect for the last month of the Term. Tenant shall repair damage caused by the installation or removal of Required Removables or the Tenant's FF&E. If Tenant fails to remove any Required Removables or perform related repairs in a timely manner, Landlord, at Tenant's expense, may remove and dispose of the Required Removables and perform the required repairs. Tenant, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice, shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, at the time it requests approval for a proposed Alteration (defined in Section IX.C), or the Initial Alterations (defined in Exhibit D) may request in writing that Landlord advise Tenant whether the Alteration or the Initial Alterations, as the case may be, or any portion of the Alteration or the Initial Alterations, as the case may be, will constitute a Required Removable. Within 10 days after receipt of Tenant's request, Landlord shall reasonably advise Tenant in writing as to which portions of the Alteration or the Initial Alterations, as the case may be, if any, will constitute Required Removables.

IX. Repairs, Maintenance and Alterations.

X. Use of Utility Services by Tenant.

XI. Entry by Landlord.

    Landlord, its agents, contractors and representatives may enter the Premises to inspect or show the Premises, to clean and make repairs, alterations or additions to the Premises, and to conduct or facilitate repairs, alterations or additions to any portion of the Building or the Project, including other tenants' premises. Except in emergencies or to provide janitorial service (if Landlord so elects in accordance with Article IX.A. above) and other regularly scheduled services after Normal Business Hours, Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least 24 hours prior notice of entry into the Premises, which may be given orally. If reasonably necessary for the protection and safety of Tenant and its employees, upon at least 72 hours prior notice to Tenant and consultation with Tenant (except in the event of an emergency or except as may be otherwise required by any governmental entity, in which event no prior notice need be given and no prior consultation need be made), Landlord shall have the right to temporarily close all or a portion of the Premises to perform repairs, alterations and additions. However, except in emergencies, Landlord will not close the Premises if the work can reasonably be completed on weekends and after Normal Business Hours. Entry by Landlord in accordance with this Article XI shall not constitute constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, at its own expense, may provide its own locks to one or more areas within the Premises (each a "Secured Area"), provided that in no event shall the total amount of space constituting Secured Areas exceed 10% of the Premises, in the aggregate. Tenant need not furnish Landlord with a key, but upon the Termination Date or earlier expiration or termination of Tenant's right to possession, Tenant shall surrender all such keys to Landlord. If Landlord must gain access to a Secured Area in a non-emergency situation, Landlord shall contact Tenant at least 24 hours in advance, and Landlord and Tenant shall arrange a mutually agreed upon time for Landlord to have such access. Landlord shall comply with all reasonable rules, regulations and procedures as Tenant may from time to time establish with respect to entry to such Secured Area, including limitation as to time of entry, purpose of entry and controls by Tenant with respect to the conduct of such entry (including accompaniment by designated representatives of Tenant), provided that Tenant gives Landlord at least 30 days' prior written notice of all such rules, regulations and procedures and provided that all Secured Areas are clearly marked in the Premises. If Landlord determines in its sole discretion that an emergency in the Building or the Premises, including, without limitation, a suspected fire or flood, requires Landlord to gain access to the Secured Area, subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section X.B., Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to forcibly enter the Secured Area. In such event, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant, and Tenant shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in repairing or reconstructing any entrance, corridor, door or other portions of the Premises damaged as a result of a forcible entry by Landlord. In the event of such an emergency in the Building or the Premises which Landlord reasonably determines requires access by Landlord, Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to notify Tenant's designated employees as soon as reasonably possible, taking into account the nature of the emergency, Landlord's access to communications facilities and other reasonable factors. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide either janitorial service or cleaning in the Secured Area.

XII. Assignment and Subletting.

XIII. Liens.

    Tenant shall not permit mechanic's or other liens to be placed upon the Project, Property, Premises or Tenant's leasehold interest in connection with any work or service done or purportedly done by or for benefit of Tenant. If a lien is so placed, Tenant shall, within 10 days of notice from Landlord of the filing of the lien, fully discharge the lien by settling the claim which resulted in the lien or by bonding or insuring over the lien in the manner prescribed by the applicable lien Law. If Tenant fails to discharge the lien, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may bond or insure over the lien or otherwise discharge the lien. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any amount paid by Landlord to bond or insure over the lien or discharge the lien, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees (if and to the extent permitted by Law) within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord.

XIV. Indemnity and Waiver of Claims.

20


XV. Insurance.

    Tenant shall carry and maintain the following insurance ("Tenant's Insurance"), at its sole cost and expense: (1) Commercial General Liability Insurance applicable to the Premises and its appurtenances providing, on an occurrence basis, a minimum combined single limit of $3,000,000.00; (2) All Risk Property/Business Interruption Insurance, (excluding flood and earthquake), written at replacement cost value and with a replacement cost endorsement covering all of Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment, furniture and other personal property within the Premises ("Tenant's Property"); (3) Workers' Compensation Insurance as required by the state of California and in amounts as may be required by applicable statute; and (4) Employers Liability Coverage of at least $1,000,000.00 per occurrence. Any company writing any of Tenant's Insurance shall have an A.M. Best rating of not less than A-VIII. All Commercial General Liability Insurance policies shall name Tenant as a named insured and Landlord (or any successor), Equity Office Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust, EOP Operating Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, and their respective members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, and agents, and other designees of Landlord as the interest of such designees shall appear, as additional insureds. All policies of Tenant's Insurance shall contain endorsements that the insurer(s) shall give Landlord and its designees at least 30 days' advance written notice of any change, cancellation, termination or lapse of insurance. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a certificate of insurance evidencing Tenant's Insurance prior to the earlier to occur of the Commencement Date or the date Tenant is provided with possession of the Premises for any reason, and upon renewals at least 15 days prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage. Landlord shall maintain so called All Risk property insurance on the Building, the Initial Alterations and the Leasehold Improvements (excluding any Alterations that were performed by Tenant in violation of this Lease) at full replacement cost value (excluding any deductibles), as reasonably estimated by Landlord. In addition, Landlord shall at all times during the Lease Term and as part of Expenses, procure or cause to be procured and continued comprehensive general liability insurance in an amount not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), combined single limit to protect Landlord against liability for injury to or death of any person or damage to property in connection with the use, occupancy, operation or condition of the Building and the Project. The cost of such insurance shall be included as a part of the Expenses, and payments for losses and recoveries thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord or the Mortgagees of Landlord as their interests shall appear. Except as specifically provided to the contrary, the limits of either party's' insurance shall not limit such party's liability under this Lease.

XVI. Subrogation.

    Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and shall cause their respective insurance carriers to waive any and all rights of recovery, claim, action or causes of action against the other and their respective trustees, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, agents, and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to Landlord or Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, with respect to Tenant's Property, the Project, the Building, the Premises, any additions or improvements to the Project, Building or Premises, or any contents thereof, including all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action arising out of the negligence of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties or the negligence of Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties, which loss or damage is (or would have been, had the insurance required by this Lease been carried) covered by insurance.

21


XVII. Casualty Damage.

22


XVIII. Condemnation.

    Either party may terminate this Lease if the whole or any material part of the Premises or parking for the Premises shall be taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under Law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a "Taking"). Landlord and Tenant shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a Taking of any portion of the Building, Property, or Project which would leave the remainder of the Building or the Project unsuitable for use as an office building or an office park, as the case may be, in a manner comparable to the use of the Building and/or Project prior to the Taking. In order to exercise its right to terminate the Lease, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, must provide written notice of termination to the other within 45 days after the terminating party first receives notice of the Taking. Any such termination shall be effective as of the date the physical taking of the Premises or the portion of the Project, Building or Property occurs. If this Lease is not terminated, the Rentable Square Footage of the Building, the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises, the Rentable Square Footage of the Project and Tenant's Pro Rata Share shall, if applicable, be appropriately adjusted. In addition, Rent for any portion of the Premises taken or condemned shall be abated during the unexpired Term of this Lease effective when the physical taking of the portion of the Premises occurs. All compensation awarded for a Taking, or sale proceeds, shall be the property of Landlord, any right to receive compensation or proceeds being expressly waived by Tenant. However, Tenant may file a separate claim at its sole cost and expense for Tenant's Property, Tenant's reasonable relocation expenses and for interruption of or damage to Tenant's business, provided the filing of the claim does not diminish the award which would otherwise be receivable by Landlord. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or any similar or successor Laws.

XIX. Events of Default.

    Tenant shall be considered to be in default of this Lease upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default:

23


XX. Remedies.

24


XXI. Limitation of Liability.

    NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (AND OF ANY SUCCESSOR LANDLORD) TO TENANT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE PROJECT. TENANT SHALL LOOK SOLELY TO LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE PROJECT FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY JUDGMENT OR AWARD AGAINST LANDLORD. NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY JUDGMENT OR DEFICIENCY. BEFORE FILING SUIT FOR AN ALLEGED DEFAULT BY LANDLORD, TENANT SHALL GIVE LANDLORD AND THE MORTGAGEE(S) (DEFINED IN ARTICLE XXVI BELOW) WHOM TENANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED HOLD MORTGAGES (DEFINED IN ARTICLE XXVI BELOW) ON THE PROPERTY, BUILDING OR PREMISES, NOTICE AND REASONABLE TIME TO CURE THE ALLEGED DEFAULT. FOR

25


PURPOSES HEREOF, "INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE PROJECT" SHALL INCLUDE RENTS DUE FROM TENANTS, INSURANCE PROCEEDS, PROCEEDS FROM SALE (AFTER DEDUCTING AMOUNTS PAYABLE PURSUANT TO ANY MORTGAGE OR OTHER LIEN ENCUMBERING THE PROJECT) AND PROCEEDS FROM CONDEMNATION OR EMINENT DOMAIN PROCEEDINGS (PRIOR TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF SAME TO ANY PARTNER OR SHAREHOLDER OF LANDLORD OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY).

XXII. No Waiver.

    Either party's failure to declare a default immediately upon its occurrence, or delay in taking action for a default shall not constitute a waiver of the default, nor shall it constitute an estoppel. Either party's failure to enforce its rights for a default shall not constitute a waiver of its rights regarding any subsequent default. Receipt by Landlord of Tenant's keys to the Premises shall not constitute an acceptance or surrender of the Premises.

XXIII. Quiet Enjoyment.

    Tenant shall, and may peacefully have, hold and enjoy the Premises, subject to the terms of this Lease, provided Tenant pays the Rent and fully performs all of its covenants and agreements. This covenant and all other covenants of Landlord shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors only during its or their respective periods of ownership of the Building, and shall not be a personal covenant of Landlord or the Landlord Related Parties.

XXIV. Relocation. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

XXV. Holding Over.

    Except for any permitted occupancy by Tenant under Article VIII, if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, occupancy of the Premises after the termination or expiration shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance. Tenant's occupancy of the Premises during the holdover shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease and Tenant shall pay an amount (on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to 150% of the greater of: (1) the sum of the Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the period immediately preceding the holdover; or (2) the fair market gross rental for the Premises as reasonably determined by Landlord. No holdover by Tenant or payment by Tenant after the expiration or early termination of this Lease shall be construed to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of possession of the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. In addition to the payment of the amounts provided above, if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to a new tenant, or to perform improvements for a new tenant, as a result of Tenant's holdover and Tenant fails to vacate the Premises within 15 days after Landlord notifies Tenant of Landlord's inability to deliver possession, or perform improvements, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages, including, without limitation, consequential damages, that Landlord suffers from the holdover.

XXVI. Subordination to Mortgages; Estoppel Certificate.

    Subject to Tenant's receipt of a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement in favor of Tenant as provided below in this Article XXVI, Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising upon the Premises, the Building, the Property or the Project, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a "Mortgage"). The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a "Mortgagee". This clause shall be self-operative, but upon request from a Mortgagee, Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable subordination agreement in favor of the Mortgagee. In lieu of having the Mortgage be superior to this Lease, a Mortgagee shall have the

26


right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. If requested by a successor-in-interest to all or a part of Landlord's interest in the Lease, Tenant shall, without charge, attorn to the successor-in-interest. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within 10 Business Days after receipt of a written request from the other, execute and deliver an estoppel certificate to those parties as are reasonably requested by the other (including a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser). The estoppel certificate shall include a statement certifying that this Lease is unmodified (except as identified in the estoppel certificate) and in full force and effect, describing the dates to which Rent and other charges have been paid, representing that, to such party's actual knowledge, there is no default (or stating the nature of the alleged default) and indicating other matters with respect to the Lease that may reasonably be requested. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date of this Lease there is no mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease encumbering the Project.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article to the contrary, as a condition precedent to the future subordination of this Lease to a future Mortgage, Landlord shall be required to provide Tenant with a non-disturbance, subordination, and attornment agreement in favor of Tenant from any Mortgagee who comes into existence from and after the date of this Lease. Such non-disturbance, subordination, and attornment agreement in favor of Tenant shall provide that, so long as Tenant is paying the Rent due under the Lease and is not otherwise in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure period, its right to possession and the other terms of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Such non-disturbance, subordination, and attornment agreement may include other commercially reasonable provisions in favor of the Mortgagee, including, without limitation, additional time on behalf of the Mortgagee to cure defaults of the Landlord and provide that (a) neither Mortgagee nor any successor-in-interest shall be bound by (i) any payment of the Base Rent, Additional Rent, or other sum due under this Lease for more than 1 month in advance or (ii) any amendment or modification of the Lease made without the express written consent of Mortgagee or any successor-in-interest; (b) neither Mortgagee nor any successor-in-interest will be liable for (i) any act or omission or warranties of any prior landlord (including Landlord), (ii) the breach of any warranties or obligations relating to construction of improvements on the Property or any tenant finish work performed or to have been performed by any prior landlord (including Landlord), or (iii) the return of any security deposit, except to the extent such deposits have been received by Mortgagee; and (c) neither Mortgagee nor any successor-in-interest shall be subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord).

XXVII. Attorneys' Fees.

    If either party institutes a suit against the other for violation of or to enforce any covenant or condition of this Lease, or if either party intervenes in any suit in which the other is a party to enforce or protect its interest or rights, the prevailing party shall be entitled to all of its costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees.

XXVIII. Notice.

    If a demand, request, approval, consent or notice (collectively referred to as a "notice") shall or may be given to either party by the other, the notice shall be in writing and delivered by hand or sent by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested, or sent by overnight or same day courier service at the party's respective Notice Address(es) set forth in Article I, except that if Tenant has vacated the Premises (or if the Notice Address for Tenant is other than the Premises, and Tenant has vacated such address) without providing Landlord a new Notice Address, Landlord may serve notice in any manner described in this Article or in any other manner permitted by Law. Each notice shall be deemed to have been received or given on the earlier to occur of actual delivery or the date on which delivery is refused, or, if Tenant has vacated the Premises or the other Notice Address of Tenant without providing a new Notice Address, 3 days after notice is deposited in the U.S. mail or with a

27


courier service in the manner described above. Either party may, at any time, change its Notice Address by giving the other party written notice of the new address in the manner described in this Article.

XXIX. Excepted Rights.

    This Lease does not grant any rights to light or air over or about the Building or the Project. Subject to the provisions of Article XI of this lease, Landlord excepts and reserves exclusively to itself the use of: (1) roofs, (2) telephone and electrical closets, (3) equipment rooms, Building risers or similar areas that are used by Landlord for the provision of building services, (4) rights to the land and improvements below the floor of the Premises and the Project, (5) the improvements and air rights above the Premises, (6) the improvements and air rights outside the demising walls of the Premises, and (7) the areas within the Premises used for the installation of utility lines and other installations serving occupants of the Building and/or the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, and subject to the terms of Article XI above, Tenant shall have the right to access the areas specified in subclauses (1), (2), (3) and (7) above. Landlord has the right to change the name or address of the Building and/or the Project, provided that Landlord will give Tenant at least 30 days prior notice with respect to a change in the Building's street address that will prohibit Tenant from receiving mail at its current address. Landlord also has the right to make such other changes to the Project, Property and Building as Landlord deems reasonably appropriate, provided the changes do not materially affect (1) Tenant's ability to use the Premises for the Permitted Use, (2) Tenant's ability to gain access to and ingress and egress from the Premises, and (3) the accessibility and availability of Tenant's parking. Landlord shall also have the right (but not the obligation) to temporarily close the Building and/or the Project if Landlord reasonably determines that there is an imminent danger of significant damage to the Building or the Project or of personal injury to Landlord's employees or the occupants of the Building and/or the Project. The circumstances under which Landlord may temporarily close the Building and/or the Project shall include, without limitation, electrical interruptions, hurricanes, earthquakes and civil disturbances. A closure of the Building and/or the Project under such circumstances shall not constitute a constructive eviction nor entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent.

XXX. Surrender of Premises.

    At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant's right of possession, Tenant shall remove Tenant's FF&E (defined in Article VIII) and Tenant's Property (defined in Article XV) from the Premises, and quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean, and in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire and other casualty for which Landlord is required to make repairs hereunder excepted. Tenant shall also be required to remove the Required Removables in accordance with Article VIII. If Tenant fails to remove any of Tenant's FF&E or Tenant's Property within 5 days after the termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right to possession, Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall be entitled (but not obligated) to remove and store Tenant's Property and Tenant's FF&E. Landlord shall not be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of Tenant's Property or Tenant's FF&E. Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, the expenses and storage charges incurred for Tenant's Property and Tenant's FF&E. In addition, if Tenant fails to remove Tenant's Property or Tenant's FF&E from the Premises or storage, as the case may be, within 30 days after written notice, Landlord may deem all or any part of Tenant's Property and Tenant's FF&E to be abandoned, and title to Tenant's Property and Tenant's FF&E shall be deemed to be immediately vested in Landlord.

Upon each and every anniversary date of the Commencement Date of this Lease during the initial Term, and during any renewal Term hereof, if any, the monthly Original Dish/Antenna Payments referenced above shall increase by 3%, rounded to the nearest dollar, from the rate in effect at the end of the immediately preceding year.

IV.
CONTINGENCY. This Lease is contingent upon the termination of that certain lease dated December 15, 1999 ("Prior Tenant Lease"), by and between Landlord and Visto Corporation, Inc. ("Prior Tenant") relating to the Premises. Landlord currently is negotiating the terms of an agreement with Prior Tenant to terminate or modify the Prior Tenant Lease (the "Prior Tenant Modification Agreement") with respect to the Premises. If the Prior Tenant Modification Agreement is executed by Landlord and Prior Tenant, Landlord shall so notify Tenant in writing. Such notification by Landlord shall constitute satisfaction of this contingency. If the Prior Tenant Modification Agreement has not been executed by Prior Tenant on or before 10 Business Days following the date this Lease has been executed by Tenant and Tenant has delivered all prepaid rental required hereunder to Landlord, then Landlord shall so notify Tenant in writing, and thereupon either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by providing written notice thereof to the other party hereto within 5 Business Days after the expiration of such 10 Business Day period. In the event the Prior Tenant Modification Agreement has not been fully executed within the required 10 Business Day period, and neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate this Lease in the time and manner provided above, then this contingency shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord and Tenant.

    This Exhibit (the "Parking Agreement") is attached to and made a part of the Lease dated as of the      day of            , 2001, by and between EOP-SHORELINE TECHNOLOGY PARK, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Landlord") and AEROGEN, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant") for space in the Building located at 2071 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, California.

In the event of any conflict between the Lease and this Parking Agreement, the latter shall control.

2.
Landlord hereby grants to Tenant and persons designated by Tenant a license to use 245 non-reserved parking spaces in the surface parking lot ("Parking Area") located at the Property.

During the term of this license, Tenant shall pay Landlord the prevailing monthly charges established from time to time for parking in the Parking Area, payable in advance, with Tenant's payment of monthly Base Rent. The charge for such parking spaces during the initial Term of the Lease (but not any Renewal Term) is $0.00 per non-reserved parking space, per month. No deductions from the monthly charge shall be made for days on which the Parking Area is not used by Tenant. Tenant may, from time to time request additional parking spaces, and if Landlord in its discretion shall provide the same, such parking spaces shall be provided and used on a month-to-month basis, and otherwise on the foregoing terms and provisions, and at such prevailing monthly parking charges as shall be established from time to time.

3.
Tenant shall at all times comply with all applicable ordinances, rules, regulations, codes, laws, statutes and requirements of all federal, state, county and municipal governmental bodies or their subdivisions respecting the use of the Parking Area. Landlord reserves the right to adopt, modify and enforce reasonable rules ("Rules") governing the use of the Parking Area from time to time including any key-card, sticker or other identification or entrance system and hours of operation. The rules set forth herein are currently in effect. Landlord may refuse to permit any person who violates such rules to park in the Parking Area, and any violation of the rules shall subject the car to removal from the Parking Area.

4.
The parking spaces hereunder shall be provided on a non-designated "first-come, first-served" basis. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever for any damage to items located in the Parking Area, nor for any personal injuries or death arising out of any matter relating to the Parking Area, and in all events, Tenant agrees to look first to its insurance carrier and to require that Tenant's employees look first to their respective insurance carriers for payment of any losses sustained in connection with any use of the Parking Area. Tenant hereby waives on behalf of its insurance carriers all rights of subrogation against Landlord or Landlord's agents. Landlord reserves the right to assign reasonable numbers of specific parking spaces, and to reserve parking spaces for visitors, small cars, handicapped persons and for other tenants, guests of tenants or other parties, which assignment and reservation or spaces may be relocated as determined by Landlord from time to time, and Tenant and persons designated by Tenant hereunder shall not park in any location designated for such assigned or reserved parking spaces.

In addition, if Tenant shall default under this Parking Agreement, Landlord shall have the right to cancel this Parking Agreement on 30 days' written notice, unless within such 30 day period, Tenant cures such default. If Tenant defaults with respect to the same term or condition under this Parking Agreement more than 3 times during any 12 month period, and Landlord notifies Tenant thereof promptly after each such default, the next default of such term or condition during the succeeding 12 month period, shall, at Landlord's election, constitute an incurable default. Such cancellation right shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Landlord at law or equity, or provided under the Lease (all of which rights and remedies under the Lease are hereby incorporated herein, as though fully set forth). Any default by Tenant under the Lease shall be a default under this Parking Agreement, and any default under this Parking Agreement shall be a default under the Lease.

TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE TO TENANT OR TENANT'S PROPERTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATIONS, ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE TO TENANT'S AUTOMOBILE OR THE CONTENTS THEREOF DUE TO THEFT, VANDALISM OR ACCIDENT) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO TENANT'S USE OF THE PARKING AREA OR EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS PARKING AGREEMENT, UNLESS SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE RESULTS FROM LANDLORD'S OR LANDLORD'S AGENTS' OR EMPLOYEES' WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, ACTIVE NEGLIGENCE OR NEGLIGENT OMISSION.

7.
Without limiting the provisions of Paragraph 6 above, Tenant hereby voluntarily releases, discharges, waives and relinquishes any and all actions or causes of action for personal injury or property damage occurring to Tenant arising as a result of parking in the Parking Area, or any activities incidental thereto, wherever or however the same may occur, and further agrees that Tenant will not prosecute any claim for personal injury or property damage against Landlord or any of its officers, agents, servants or employees for any said causes of action. It is the intention of Tenant by this instrument, to exempt and relieve Landlord from liability for personal injury or property damage caused by negligence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Article XVI of the Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to release, discharge, waive or relinquish any such claims against Landlord where such loss or damage is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties.

8.
The provisions of Article XIV and Article XXI of the Lease are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully recited.

    Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has read the provisions of this Parking Agreement, has been fully and completely advised of the potential dangers incidental to parking in the Parking Area and is fully aware of the legal consequences of signing this instrument.
