This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. This Act provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long as they identify these statements as forward looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position, made in this Annual Report are forward looking. We use words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “future” and “intends” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations, plans or projections and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results could differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed in “Important Factors That May Affect Our Business, Our Results of Operations and Our Stock Price” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are urged, however, to review the factors set forth in reports that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Overview

 

We are focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic proteins for the treatment of human disease. We have been active in the area of therapeutic proteins for over 20 years, including 12 years as a wholly owned subsidiary of Novo Nordisk A/S, one of the world’s largest producers of therapeutic proteins. We were incorporated in the state of Washington in 1981. In 1988, Novo Nordisk acquired our outstanding capital stock and we became a wholly owned subsidiary. From 1988 to 2000, we were the protein discovery operation for Novo Nordisk in North America. In November 2000, Novo Nordisk effected a significant restructuring. As part of this restructuring, we became an independent company in a transaction that included a $150 million private placement and the reduction of Novo Nordisk’s voting interest to less than 50%.

 

We have contributed to the discovery or development of five marketed recombinant protein products. These products include recombinant versions of proteins previously made from human or animal sources (Novolin® (insulin) and GlucaGen® (glucagon), marketed by Novo Nordisk) and novel proteins that come from our discoveries (NovoSeven® (Factor VIIa) marketed by Novo Nordisk, Regranex® (platelet-derived growth factor), marketed by Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company, and Cleactor (tPA analog), marketed by Eisai Co., Ltd).

 

Early in our history, we built a core focus on protein chemistry and molecular and cellular biology. More recently, we developed an advanced bioinformatics program that now represents the foundation of our discovery efforts. We were early to recognize the opportunity of genomics and were a pioneer in the use of bioinformatics tools to mine genomic databases. We focus our bioinformatics-based discovery efforts on the relatively small subset of genes that we believe have the highest probability of coding for proteins with therapeutic potential. Specifically, we focus on key protein categories that have known members with proven therapeutic value or potent biological activity. We believe this approach increases our research efficiency and maximizes our chances of commercial success. Based on our analysis of published European patent filings, we believe that we have been one of the most successful companies in the world at discovering and filing patent applications for novel proteins within these categories.

Our expertise in biology and protein chemistry strengthens our ability to determine the biological function and potential therapeutic utility of our protein candidates early in the discovery process. Determining biological function and therapeutic utility at an early stage improves our prospects of establishing patent priority by enabling us to file detailed patent applications covering both composition of matter and method of use claims. We currently have more than 240 issued or allowed United States patents and over 350 United States patent applications pending.

 

We have a growing pipeline of potential products that we expect to develop on our own or in collaboration with partners. Our two most advanced internal product candidates, rFactor XIII and rhThrombin, are recombinant versions of proteins that are currently marketed in forms derived from human and cow blood. Our intent is to replace the currently marketed versions, building on our earlier experience with insulin and glucagon. rFactor XIII is a blood-clotting agent for the treatment of bleeding complications following cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, and rhThrombin is a hemostatic agent for the control of bleeding during surgical procedures. We began clinical trials of rFactor XIII in early 2003, and we expect to begin clinical development of rhThrombin in the second half of 2003.

 

Our other internal product candidates have resulted from our bioinformatics efforts, which in combination with our biology expertise, has yielded proteins with potential medical relevance. Our most advanced bioinformatics-derived product candidates are TACI-Ig and recombinant human interleukin-21 (IL-21). TACI-Ig is a soluble receptor with potential applications for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, which we are developing with Serono S.A., a leading global biotechnology company. IL-21 is a protein with potential applications for the treatment of cancer, which we are developing in North America and which we have licensed to Novo Nordisk for development in the rest of the world. We plan to begin clinical development of TACI-Ig and IL-21 in the second half of 2003 and the first half of 2004, respectively.

 

Business Strategy

 

Our long-term objective is to become a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company that commercializes novel therapeutic proteins and other protein-based products derived from our proprietary portfolio of protein candidates. To achieve this objective, we plan to pursue the following key strategies:

 

    Continue our focused approach to the discovery of therapeutic proteins.    We focus exclusively on therapeutic proteins. We use bioinformatics to identify the relatively small subset of genes that we believe have the highest probability of coding for proteins with therapeutic potential. Specifically, we focus on key protein categories that have members with demonstrated therapeutic potential or medically relevant biological activity. Once we have identified a protein candidate with relevant biological activity, we intend to develop the therapeutic protein directly, or, where appropriate, develop a monoclonal antibody or soluble receptor that targets the protein.

 

    Pursue comprehensive intellectual property protection.    We intend to establish proprietary product opportunities by establishing patent priority for our gene and protein discoveries at the earliest possible time. Data generated from bioinformatics and exploratory biology enhances our patent applications. Our research teams work closely with our intellectual property department to prepare detailed patent applications on full-length genes and their corresponding proteins at an early stage in the discovery process. We augment initial filings with supporting data as it becomes available.

 

    Leverage diverse biology expertise.    We utilize a large number of biological assays and experimental systems to identify the biological functions of the genes and proteins we discover. Our comprehensive approach allows us to determine the medical relevance of proteins in a wider range of therapeutic areas.

 

   

Focus initially on lower-risk product candidates.    We intend to mitigate the risk of drug development by concentrating our initial product development efforts on product candidates that have a more favorable risk profile than more recently discovered proteins. Our two most advanced internal product

development candidates are rFactor XIII and rhThrombin, recombinant versions of proteins intended to replace currently marketed plasma-derived proteins.

 

    Pursue a diversified commercialization strategy.    Because we expect to generate more product candidates than we have the capacity to develop on our own in the near term, we are pursuing a three-pronged commercialization strategy. We intend to internally develop and commercialize some product candidates where we believe the clinical trials and sales force requirements are manageable. We intend to partner with other companies to co-develop and co-promote product candidates in cases where we do not have access to the infrastructure required for development and commercialization. Finally, we intend to out-license other product candidates and intellectual property that do not fit within our future commercial focus.

 

    Phased acquisition of manufacturing capabilities.    For our existing development candidates, we intend to use third-party contractors or collaborative partners to manufacture both clinical and commercial product. We expect to begin construction in 2003 of small-scale dedicated GMP manufacturing suites, which we intend to use as a source of clinical product supply beginning in 2004. Over the long term, we intend to acquire larger-scale commercial manufacturing capabilities to allow us to control directly all critical elements of product development and commercialization.

Products and Product Pipeline

 

Our track record in the field of therapeutic proteins includes contributions to the discovery or development of five recombinant protein products currently being marketed by Novo Nordisk or other companies. Our current focus is the development of a pipeline of internal product candidates. We also have out-licensed several product candidates outside our areas of interest. The following table summarizes the marketed products and out-licensed product candidates, as well as our most advanced product candidates for internal development or co-development. Any clinical trials involving our product candidates may reveal that those candidates are ineffective or have unacceptable side effects. In addition, the results of preliminary studies are not necessarily indicative of clinical success, and larger and later-stage clinical trials may not produce the same results as earlier-stage trials or studies.

generating statistical evidence of efficacy and safety to support product approval.

Currently Marketed Products

 

We have participated in the discovery or development of five recombinant protein products marketed by other companies.

 

    Novolin® and NovoRapid® (insulin), recombinant human insulin products marketed by Novo Nordisk worldwide for the treatment of diabetes. In collaboration with Novo Nordisk, we developed a process for the production of recombinant human insulin in yeast that is used by Novo Nordisk.

 

    NovoSeven® (Factor VIIa), a protein involved in the generation of blood clots, marketed worldwide by Novo Nordisk for the treatment of hemophilia patients. We cloned the gene that codes for human Factor VII and developed a process for the production of activated recombinant human Factor VII, or Factor VIIa, which led to the establishment of the manufacturing process that Novo Nordisk currently uses to produce this protein.

 

    Regranex® (platelet-derived growth factor), a growth factor marketed by Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company, for the treatment of non-healing diabetic ulcers. We cloned the gene that codes for platelet-derived growth factor and demonstrated the importance of this protein in stimulating wound healing.

 

    GlucaGen® (glucagon), a protein marketed by Novo Nordisk, Bedford Laboratories and Eisai Co., Ltd. for use as an aid for gastrointestinal motility inhibition and for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia in diabetic patients treated with insulin. In collaboration with Novo Nordisk, we developed a process for the production of this protein that is currently used by Novo Nordisk in the manufacture of GlucaGen.

 

    Cleactor (tPA analog), a modified form of the protein tissue plasminogen activator, marketed in Japan by Eisai for the treatment of myocardial infarction, or heart attacks. In collaboration with Eisai, we developed this modified protein, which has enhanced properties that allow it to be given as a single injection.

 

We derive royalties on all of these products except for NovoSeven and NovoRapid, for which we received a one-time payment to satisfy future royalty obligations.

 

Internal Product Candidates

 

We are developing several product candidates to treat a variety of serious diseases and medical conditions. We intend to develop and commercialize these product candidates on our own or in collaboration with other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies.

 

rFactor XIII.    Factor XIII functions by crosslinking fibrin molecules to each other and to other proteins in a newly formed blood clot, adding significant stability to the clot and protecting it from degradation by other proteins in circulation. Congenital Factor XIII deficiency, an inherited disorder, is a rare condition afflicting only a few hundred patients worldwide. These patients have a tendency to experience severe spontaneous bleeding and problems with tissue repair. Acquired Factor XIII deficiency, a transient drop in Factor XIII levels, is much more common. It is thought to be a major cause of bleeding and failure to heal after surgeries and clinical procedures of many types, including cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Acquired Factor XIII deficiency has also been reported in diseases, such as graft versus host disease of the gut following stem cell transplant and inflammatory bowel disease.

Table of Contents

 

Human plasma-derived Factor XIII is produced by Aventis Behring GmbH and is marketed as Fibrogammin® P in Japan, Germany, Austria and South Africa. However, Fibrogammin® P is not approved for use in the United States and many European countries. Clinical studies have shown that normal levels of Factor XIII activity can be restored in patients with a congenital or acquired deficiency by intravenous administration of plasma-derived Factor XIII. Our market research indicates that physicians in some countries are currently using plasma-derived Factor XIII not only for the treatment of congenital Factor XIII deficiency, but for other medical conditions associated with acquired Factor XIII deficiency. According to industry statistics and our own analysis, current annual sales of plasma-derived Factor XIII in the few countries in which it is sold are estimated at less than $50 million.

 

In patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, there is significant illness and death associated with post-operative bleeding. Multiple transfusions with plasma and other blood products are often used to compensate for blood loss, but there are adverse health risks and costs associated with these transfusions. In some cases, surgeries must be redone, at significant cost and risk to the patient, to address uncontrolled bleeding. Studies have indicated that levels of Factor XIII activity significantly decrease after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Published studies involving a small number of patients demonstrated that administration of human plasma-derived Factor XIII after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery led to a 35% decrease in chest tube drain volume compared to a control group, suggesting that Factor XIII treatment may reduce the need for blood transfusions in these patients.

 

We believe that there are several important advantages to a recombinant human form of Factor XIII. Such a product would alleviate concerns over viral contamination associated with plasma-derived products and could decrease or eliminate the potential immune reactions associated with plasma-derived products, while helping to ensure a continuous and cost-effective product supply. A recombinant human form of Factor XIII could also reduce or eliminate the need for transfusions of plasma or other blood products in the treatment of Factor XIII deficiency.

 

We believe that rFactor XIII represents not only an effective replacement product for the existing plasma-derived product, but also an opportunity for addressing a potentially significant untapped market. Although sales of plasma-derived Factor XIII have been relatively low to date, approval of a recombinant human form of Factor XIII in existing markets, as well as the introduction of a recombinant product in the United States and major European countries, could facilitate significant expansion of the market and sales of Factor XIII. Recombinant protein replacement products have been successfully developed for Factor VIII and Factor IX, which are other blood-clotting factors.

 

Cardiopulmonary bypass surgery will be the first major indication pursued in our rFactor XIII clinical development program. There are an estimated one million major cardiac surgical procedures performed annually involving cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. We have identified a number of other potential clinical indications for rFactor XIII development, including replacement therapy for congenital Factor XIII deficiency and treatment of acquired Factor XIII deficiency such as in graft versus host disease of the gut following stem cell transplant and inflammatory bowel disease. We believe that we can benefit from the information currently available regarding the dosing and efficacy of plasma-derived Factor XIII in the design of our clinical development program. The use of this information may result in lower product development risks for rFactor XIII than with other recombinant human protein products that are not being developed as replacement products.

 

rFactor XIII is manufactured in yeast cells. The initial supply of rFactor XIII product for use in clinical testing has been manufactured for us by Avecia Limited. We filed an IND with the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in September 2002, and we began Phase 1 clinical trials in both congenitally deficient patients and healthy subjects in early 2003.

 

rhThrombin.    Thrombin is a specific blood-clotting enzyme that converts fibrinogen to fibrin. Fibrin is the primary protein contained in newly formed blood clots. Thrombin also promotes clot formation by activating Factor XIII, which crosslinks the fibrin molecules and strengthens the newly forming clot. In addition, thrombin stimulates platelet aggregation and acts as a potent cell activator.

Table of Contents

 

Profuse bleeding is a serious complication of major surgeries. Surgeons try to limit bleeding during surgery to control blood loss, limit the use of transfused blood products and maintain visibility in the operating field. Thrombin is widely used to stop diffuse bleeding occurring during surgical procedures, either as a stand-alone hemostat or as a component of other hemostatic products, such as tissue sealants. All currently marketed thrombin products are derived from pooled human or bovine plasma. Plasma-derived thrombin products available today are provided in spray formulation for topical application directly on wounds, and as a freeze-dried powder, which is dissolved and absorbed onto a gel sponge for application to wounds. Plasma-derived thrombin is also being used as a hemostatic component in new vascular sealing devices, wound dressings and fibrin glues or sealants.

 

We believe that there are several important advantages to a recombinant human form of thrombin. As with Factor XIII, a recombinant human form of thrombin would alleviate concerns of viral contamination of plasma derived products. It would also alleviate concerns associated with products of bovine origin, including the potential risk of contamination with the pathogen that causes the human form of “mad cow” disease. In addition, there is a risk of allergic reaction in patients sensitive to products of bovine origin. Some patients develop antibodies to bovine plasma-derived thrombin or to Factor V, a contaminant of the bovine plasma-derived product. Anti-Factor V antibodies can cross-react with human Factor V, creating a condition that is particularly difficult to manage and is potentially fatal in patients who develop severe bleeding conditions. Use of bovine plasma-derived thrombin in patients with antibodies to bovine clotting factors may result in abnormal clotting time, post-operative complications, clotting disorders and the resulting higher treatment costs.

 

We intend to develop rhThrombin as a replacement product for the currently marketed human and bovine plasma-derived thrombin products. Current sales of plasma-derived thrombin as a stand-alone product are estimated at $100 million annually in the United States and $150 million annually worldwide. It is estimated that plasma-derived thrombin is used in more than 500,000 surgical procedures annually in the United States. As with plasma-derived thrombin, rhThrombin would be used in the clinical setting to control bleeding. Primary applications would include a wide range of surgeries, trauma and burn injuries. We believe the market for rhThrombin could be further expanded by providing it to other companies for inclusion in a variety of surgical hemostats, fibrin sealants and vascular sealing devices.

 

We have developed a patent-protected method we believe will enable us to cost-effectively manufacture rhThrombin in a two-step process. First, prethrombin is produced in mammalian cells, and then using an enzyme activation step, prethrombin is converted to rhThrombin. Currently, we are producing prethrombin internally, and a third-party manufacturer is performing the activation and purifying the resulting rhThrombin. We expect to have product for clinical use available later this year and to begin clinical development of rhThrombin in the second half of 2003.

 

TACI-Ig.    TACI is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family of proteins. TACI-Ig is a soluble form of the TACI receptor that binds to two ligands, BLyS and APRIL, that are implicated in mounting B-cell mediated immune responses. When over-produced in transgenic animals, BLyS has been shown to lead to the development of autoimmune disease with symptoms resembling systemic lupus erythematosus. The aim of treatment with TACI-Ig is to neutralize the overactivity of these immune-stimulating ligands to prevent the activation of B cells and thus the production of harmful autoantibodies, which are antibodies to one’s own cells.

 

We believe that TACI-Ig could represent a less toxic and more specific immunosuppressive agent than current therapies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and other diseases for which the suppression of B-cell function and a decrease in autoantibody levels could have therapeutic benefit. Such diseases include systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis and asthma. In an animal model of systemic lupus erythematosus, TACI-Ig has been shown to specifically inhibit the development of mature B cells and the development of antigen-induced antibody production. It has also been shown to inhibit the development of proteinuria, an indicator of kidney malfunction, and to prolong survival of the animals. In a

 

9


Table of Contents

collagen-induced model of rheumatoid arthritis, TACI-Ig has been shown to inhibit the incidence of disease. Taken together, these data indicate that TACI-Ig acts by inhibiting the production of mature B cells and decreasing autoantibody levels.

 

Based on positive data from animal models, systemic lupus erythematosus is a probable clinical indication for TACI-Ig. The cause of this disease remains unknown, but there is substantial evidence suggesting that B-cell hyperactivity resulting in the secretion of autoantibodies is fundamental to its development. Although estimates on prevalence vary widely, there are believed to be over 300,000 patients treated for systemic lupus erythematosus in the United States, a disease which primarily affects women. No new FDA-approved treatments for systemic lupus erythematosus have been introduced in the last 40 years. Current therapies, including immunosuppressives and corticosteroids, are not very effective and may have severe side effects. We believe that patients with severe systemic lupus erythematosus would be candidates for treatment with TACI-Ig.

 

In addition, rheumatoid arthritis appears to be a promising potential clinical indication for TACI-Ig. Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most prevalent chronic inflammatory diseases, afflicting an estimated 1% of the world population, including over five million patients in North America, Europe and Japan. Although the underlying cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown, considerable data indicate a major role of B cells in this disease. Rheumatoid arthritis has been an attractive therapeutic area for drug development because of its large market size. As a consequence, a very large number of drugs are currently being developed. However, we believe that few of these product candidates target B cells specifically. Thus, TACI-Ig represents a novel mode of treatment that could alleviate the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis associated with pathogenic B cells. Moreover, the specificity and mode of action of TACI-Ig strengthens its potential as an add-on therapy to existing drugs.

 

In August 2001, we entered into a collaborative development and marketing agreement with Serono relating to TACI-Ig. Under our agreement, we will develop TACI-Ig jointly with Serono pursuant to a worldwide development plan. Serono has manufactured clinical grade materials in quantities adequate to supply initial clinical trials. Toxicology and pharmacology studies are underway in appropriate animal species, and we expect to begin clinical development in the second half of 2003.

 

IL-21.    We discovered IL-21 and its receptor through our bioinformatics efforts. IL-21 is a protein belonging to a family of cytokines that modify the function of cells in the immune system. IL-21 shares both structural and genetic sequence similarity with interleukin-2 (IL-2), a cytokine approved as a therapy for malignant melanoma and renal cell carcinoma. We have shown that IL-21 regulates the proliferation and functional activity of several populations of immune cells, including cytotoxic T cells (CTL) and natural killer (NK) cells, both of which are thought to be critical in eliminating malignant or virally infected cells from the body. Preclinical studies have indicated that IL-21 is an effective therapy in a number of animal models of cancer.

 

In an animal model of metastatic melanoma, IL-21 exhibited a high rate of tumor suppression. Animals in this model develop aggressive metastases to the lung, which can be readily measured. Treatment with IL-21 led to a significant reduction in the number of lung metastases relative to controls. IL-21 also was found to have potent inhibitory activity in other animal models of cancer. These models demonstrated that the in vivo effects of IL-21 were mediated through the activation of CTLs and NK cells, which led to rejection of the tumors in the animal models.

 

In clinical practice, IL-2 is an effective therapy in approximately 5-8% of patients with malignant melanoma. Accompanying this low level of efficacy is a significant side effect profile that profoundly limits the utility of IL-2 in treating disease. These side effects can be so severe that many patients stop the therapy before completion of the treatment program. Therefore, it has been a high priority to assess the possible side effects of IL-21.

To assess the safety profile of IL-21, studies were conducted in mouse models to evaluate IL-21 in two aspects of known IL-2 toxicity: vascular leakage and the release of inflammatory cytokines. In both areas, IL-21 exhibited a favorable toxicity profile compared to that observed with IL-2 treatment in these models. There was no increase in inflammatory cytokines in the blood stream with IL-21 treatment, and the levels of vascular leakage were significantly lower than that observed using IL-2. Additionally, mice receiving IL-21 appeared normal and healthy.

 

We intend to pursue malignant melanoma and renal cell carcinoma, the two approved indications for IL-2, as initial indications for IL-21. There are 100,000 new cases of melanoma per year worldwide with approximately 50% of the cases occurring in North America. Melanoma is the cause of 8,000 deaths per year in North America and has become one of the leading cancers in women between the ages of 25-34. There are approximately 100,000 new cases of renal cell carcinoma per year worldwide with 36,000 new cases in North America. Renal cell carcinoma results in approximately 12,000 deaths per year in North America. There is a demonstrated need for new and improved therapies for both types of cancer. Subject to the outcome of the initial clinical studies, we intend to expand the IL-21 clinical program into additional cancer indications and, potentially, into the treatment of viral diseases.

 

Novo Nordisk has licensed the rights to IL-21 outside North America and we have retained all rights within North America. In December 2002, we entered into a collaborative preclinical development agreement with Novo Nordisk. Under our agreement, we will share all costs of the IL-21 preclinical development program with Novo Nordisk through the filing of an investigational new drug application in the U.S., which is currently planned for the first half of 2004.

 

Discovery and Development Process

 

We have developed a fully integrated therapeutic protein discovery and development program that draws upon a broad range of skills and technologies, including DNA sequencing, bioinformatics, molecular and cellular biology, animal biology, protein chemistry, intellectual property protection, pharmacology, medical and regulatory affairs, drug formulation, manufacturing and strategic market research. We believe that this comprehensive program gives us a competitive advantage over many other biotechnology companies. While many of these companies were founded on the use of high-throughput DNA sequencing and bioinformatics to identify gene sequences of interest, we built our bioinformatics capabilities on top of our pre-existing strengths in molecular biology, protein chemistry and animal biology. As a result, we have been successful in characterizing important biological properties of our lead product candidates.

 

Bioinformatics

 

We have focused our discovery efforts on identifying the relatively small subset of genes that we believe have the highest probability of coding for proteins with therapeutic potential. We have defined what we consider to be the key protein categories according to structural similarity, sequence similarity and functional activity. These categories have known members with demonstrated therapeutic potential or potent biological activity, and most recombinant human proteins currently marketed as drugs are members of these categories. We believe that newly discovered proteins within these categories are likely to have important novel biological activity, and therefore may have potential as therapeutic products.

 

The foundation of our bioinformatics platform is our DNA sequence databases of millions of EST sequence entries and billions of nucleotide sequences derived from genomic sequences. In 1995, we became the first subscriber to gain direct in-house access to and analyze Incyte Genomics’ LifeSeq database of ESTs. Since that time, we have built our internal sequence database from a number of sources, including:

 

    private databases, including Incyte Genomics’ LifeSeq database;

 

    public EST and DNA sequences;

 

11


Table of Contents

 

    our own internal EST sequences, where we have eliminated transcripts of highly expressed genes to concentrate on sequences of rarely-expressed genes; and

 

    genomic sequences published daily by the Human Genome Project.

 

To discover novel gene sequences within the sequence databases, we have developed sensitive proprietary search algorithms based on protein motifs, which can include sequence homologies and predicted protein structure similarities. We have developed sophisticated threading algorithms that allow us to use distant and apparently unrelated elements in sequences to identify pre-defined three-dimensional structures contained within certain key protein categories. These algorithms are tailored to the specific category of proteins under consideration, as the optimal search strategy for novel gene sequences depends on characteristics unique to each protein category.

 

Exploratory Biology

 

We use a diverse set of tools to identify the biological functions of the genes and proteins we discover. Throughout our exploratory biology effort, we use a variety of in-house approaches, including physiological screens of mice in which the gene of interest has either been genetically over-expressed from birth, otherwise known as transgenic mice, or temporarily over-expressed in adult mice using an adenovirus containing the gene. We also conduct screens of mice in which the gene of interest has been eliminated from birth, otherwise known as knockout mice. In addition, we conduct analyses of disease models using a variety of laboratory tests, or assays, to detect changes in behavior, physiology and biochemistry. We also use hundreds of in-house assays to investigate biological activities of our novel proteins. To obtain additional information, our scientists either adapt or create in vivo laboratory models that mimic human diseases to determine the cause of disease and response to treatment. For certain ligands, we can also apply laboratory techniques to clone the receptors for the ligand present in a tissue or cell. In addition to providing a marker for tissues that should respond to the protein, the receptors themselves can have therapeutic potential. We also rely on an external network of collaborators to investigate biology and conduct additional tests that we do not perform in-house.

 

Within our exploratory biology operation, there are several stages of activity through which we identify a protein’s function, determine whether the protein plays a role in disease and determine whether it has commercial potential. A protein begins in the exploratory stage, in which experiments are performed to support the development of a biological hypothesis as to the protein’s function. Once a biological hypothesis is developed, the protein moves to the validation stage, in which more extensive experiments are performed to confirm the biological hypothesis for the protein and to establish a medical hypothesis. A medical hypothesis involves the identification of specific diseases or conditions for which we believe the protein would have therapeutic importance. In cases where a protein demonstrates beneficial biological effects, it becomes a product candidate. Where a protein has been found to have detrimental effects, we attempt to generate a monoclonal antibody or soluble receptor to inhibit the activity of the protein. In those cases, a resulting monoclonal antibody or soluble receptor becomes the product candidate. Once a product candidate is identified, it moves to the pre-development stage, at which time it is tested in specific animal models of diseases. At the pre-development stage, we not only learn which diseases or conditions show promise for treatment, but also obtain information about dosing and systemic effects of the product candidate. Assuming positive results, both in terms of efficacy and toxicology, we may develop a commercial hypothesis for the product candidate. A commercial hypothesis requires the identification of a market opportunity and a preliminary determination that it will be economically feasible to manufacture the product candidate and administer it to patients.

 

Collaborative Relationships

 

Novo Nordisk Option Agreement

 

As part of our separation from Novo Nordisk, we granted Novo Nordisk options to license certain rights to potential therapeutic proteins pursuant to an option agreement. Under this agreement, we retain exclusive rights

 

12


Table of Contents

to these proteins in North America, and Novo Nordisk may obtain exclusive rights in the rest of the world. However, Novo Nordisk has the option to obtain exclusive worldwide rights to any licensed protein that acts to generate, expand or prevent the death of insulin-producing beta cells, which are involved in diabetes, a core business focus of Novo Nordisk. The option agreement also provides that:

 

    over a four-year period beginning November 10, 2000, Novo Nordisk will pay us a fee of $7.5 million per year for the option rights under the agreement;

 

    during this four-year period, Novo Nordisk may, for specified license payments, license up to the greater of eight proteins or 25% of all proteins discovered by us after August 25, 1995 and for which a hypothesis as to medical utility is generated, except for beta-cell-related proteins, of which Novo Nordisk may license an unlimited number; and

 

    Novo Nordisk may extend the option agreement for two years, during which time it is required to pay us a fee of $7.5 million per year for the right to license four additional proteins.

 

Under the option agreement, we must promptly disclose to Novo Nordisk each protein for which we develop a hypothesis as to medical utility, together with information known to us about the protein, such as gene sequence and similarity, exploratory data and relevant patent filings. Novo Nordisk then has 60 days to decide on three possible courses of action:

 

    exercise one of its options to license the protein;

 

    decline to exercise one of its options, thereby foregoing any and all future rights to the protein; or

 

    extend its option on the particular protein by paying a $500,000 extension fee and agreeing to pay half of our research and development costs to advance the protein to the status of a preclinical lead.

 

Upon the exercise of an option by Novo Nordisk, we will negotiate an exclusive license agreement to commercialize the protein containing certain predetermined terms, including up-front payments, milestone payments and royalty terms. The option agreement provides that up-front and milestone payments for each non-beta-cell-related protein licensed may total up to approximately $20 million, regardless of the point at which the protein is licensed. Up-front and milestone payments for beta-cell proteins licensed may total up to approximately $28 million. Royalty rates are lowest if an option to license a protein is exercised at the medical utility hypothesis stage and will increase substantially each time the option is extended. Royalty obligations end on the expiration date of the last-to-expire patent on the licensed protein or, if the product is not based on a patented protein, 12 years from the date of the first sale of the product. Royalty obligations may be reduced if Novo Nordisk is required to license third-party patented technology to utilize the licensed protein or if a generic product that is identical to a patented product achieves certain levels of market share.

 

If Novo Nordisk extends its option on a protein, then when the protein reaches the status of a preclinical lead meeting certain criteria, Novo Nordisk may exercise the option, extend the option or decline to exercise the option, in which case it forgoes any and all future rights to the protein. If Novo Nordisk elects to extend the option at the preclinical lead stage, it must pay us a $1.0 million extension fee and agree to pay two-thirds of our research and development costs to advance the protein through the completion of Phase 2 clinical trials. Upon completion of Phase 2 clinical trials, Novo Nordisk has one final opportunity to license the protein.

 

If, at any of Novo Nordisk’s decision points, we decide that we do not wish to move forward in the development of a particular protein, then we have the right to terminate our participation in the development of the protein. In that case Novo Nordisk has the right to continue the research and development on its own, and maintains its right to license the protein under the option agreement.

 

To date, Novo Nordisk has exercised options to license IL-21, IL-20 and IL-20 receptor pursuant to this agreement.

In December 2002, we announced that we had signed a collaborative agreement with Novo Nordisk for the preclinical development of IL-21. Under the terms of the agreement, ZymoGenetics and Novo Nordisk will collaborate on all research and development activities leading up to the filing of an IND in the United States. Novo Nordisk will reimburse us for a portion of our costs incurred prior to the agreement, and the two companies will equally share all costs of the program going forward. In total, we could receive up to $11 million in payment or services under the agreement.

 

Serono S.A.

 

In August 2001, we entered into a collaborative development and marketing agreement with Ares Trading S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Serono S.A., focused on two preclinical product candidates derived from our discovery research. These two candidates are based on cellular receptors, designated TACI and BCMA, that are involved in the regulation of the human immune system. During the term of the agreement, we and Serono will work together exclusively to develop biopharmaceutical products based on the two receptors for the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.

 

We will share research and development expenses worldwide with the exception of Japan, where Serono will cover all expenses. The research and development activities will be governed by a steering committee made up of representatives of both companies. Serono will be responsible for manufacturing all products for both clinical trials and commercial sale. We retain an option to co-promote the sale of products with Serono in North America, which we can exercise provided that we fund our share of the research and development expenses and meet certain sales force and marketing requirements. If we exercise the co-promotion option, we will share commercialization expenses and profits in North America equally with Serono and Serono will have exclusive rights to market and sell products in the rest of the world, for which we will be entitled to receive royalties. In the event of certain changes in control of our company, we could lose our right to co-promote products in North America.

 

Either company may terminate its co-funding and co-development obligations upon 90 days notice until the start of Phase 2 clinical trials, after which time 180 days notice is required. If we were to terminate our co-development and co-funding obligations, Serono would take control of all research and development, we would forgo our co-promotion rights in North America, we would be entitled to receive royalties on any product sales in North America in lieu of sharing in the profits from the sale of products and Serono would continue to be obligated to make any milestone payments. If Serono were to terminate its co-development and co-funding obligations, all rights in any products would revert to us, and we could take control and fund all costs of the research and development, subject to negotiation of commercially reasonable financial consideration to be paid to Serono. Furthermore, if clinical trials had begun prior to Serono’s termination, Serono would be obligated to manufacture product for use in clinical testing for up to one year from the termination date.

 

We granted Serono an exclusive license to our intellectual property relating to TACI, BCMA and certain other related technologies to make, use, have made, sell, offer to sell and import products based on TACI and BCMA. Serono is required to pay royalties on sales, which may vary based on annual sales volume and the degree of patent protection provided by the licensed intellectual property. Royalty payments may be reduced if Serono is required to license additional intellectual property from one or more third parties in order to commercialize a product or, in certain circumstances, if a product suffers from competition. Royalty obligations under the agreement continue on a country-by-country basis until the date on which no valid patent claims relating to a product exist or, if the product is not covered by a valid patent claim, 15 years from the date of first sale of the product.

 

The term of the agreement began on August 30, 2001 and will continue for so long as a TACI or BCMA product is the subject of an active development project or there is an obligation to pay royalties under the agreement. The agreement provides for an initial fee and milestone payments to be paid by Serono in connection with the development and approval of products, up to an aggregate of $52.5 million.

Out-licensed Product Candidates

 

We have contributed to the discovery and development of two product candidates that we have out-licensed to third parties in return for milestone payments and royalties.

 

    Platelet-derived growth factor, a growth factor that stimulates the growth of a variety of cell types. We have out-licensed this growth factor to BioMimetic Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (BMPI), originally for the treatment of periodontal disease and bone defects of the head and face, and more recently for the treatment of all other bone defects. BMPI has initiated a pivotal study of platelet-derived growth factor in periodontal disease.

 

    Platelet-derived growth factor receptor antibody, an antibody that blocks the binding of platelet-derived growth factor to its beta receptor, which we have out-licensed to Celltech Group plc. Celltech has designated the product candidate CDP 860, and initiated Phase 2 clinical trials of CDP 860 in 2002 for the treatment of cancer.

 

Other Collaborations

 

We recognize external collaborations as an important aspect of our success in analyzing and characterizing protein function. Where possible, we establish collaborations with experts in the field who have a depth of knowledge on a select protein, protein category or disease state that is related to the understanding of our gene and protein discoveries. These collaborations serve to accelerate the rate at which we can assess the biological functions of proteins and confirm medical hypotheses. In addition, throughout our history, we have collaborated actively with the University of Washington, a leading biomedical research institution, to explore the biological function of proteins. The University’s significant resources and expertise, together with its geographic proximity to us, have made it a valuable partner on a number of our projects.

 

Manufacturing

 

Currently, we have internal capabilities to manufacture products at up to 100-liter scale using various production systems, including yeast, E. coli and mammalian cells. Generally, we have used these facilities for process development and the manufacture of product for preclinical studies supporting our research and development programs. Recently, we converted certain of these facilities for the manufacture of prethrombin in compliance with GMP regulations. We intend to begin construction in 2003 of expanded laboratory facilities that will include additional small-scale GMP manufacturing suites to be used to supply product for toxicology studies and clinical trials. Until these dedicated suites are available in 2004, we intend to utilize third-party contract manufacturers or to rely on co-development partners for the manufacture of clinical-grade product.

 

For rFactor XIII, which is made in yeast, large-scale manufacturing of preclinical and clinical grade product is being performed by Avecia Limited. We have made arrangements with Pentapharm for the conversion of internally produced prethrombin to rhThrombin. We are in the process of identifying a contract manufacturing organization for the production of rhThrombin at commercial scale. Serono will manufacture TACI-Ig, which is made in mammalian cells, under the terms of our collaborative development and marketing agreement. IL-21 is manufactured in E. coli; we intend to use Avecia Limited as our contract manufacturer for the initial production runs of IL-21.

 

Some of the inventions licensed to us were initially developed at universities or other not-for-profit institutions with funding support from an agency of the United States government. In accordance with federal law, we or our licensees may be required to manufacture products covered by patents in those inventions in the United States, unless we can obtain a waiver from the government on the basis that such domestic manufacture is not commercially feasible.

Commercialization

 

We have developed the following three-pronged strategy for the development and commercialization of our product candidates:

 

Internal development.    We intend to independently develop products for North America that we believe can be successfully developed with our current infrastructure, as well as additions made to our infrastructure over the next few years. To qualify for internal development, product candidates must satisfy a number of criteria. Formulation, development and manufacturing of these products must initially be feasible through the use of contract providers. The anticipated clinical trials must be of a reasonable size and with fairly well defined endpoints and guidelines. Finally, the clinical indication and target market must be accessible with a relatively small sales force. We believe that certain of our product candidates, including rFactor XIII, rhThrombin and IL-21, meet these criteria.

 

Co-development.    We intend to develop certain product candidates jointly with other companies. In these arrangements, we would expect to pay a share of the research and development costs, retain rights to co-promote or co-market the potential products, and share in the profits from selling the potential products. Our criteria for selecting product candidates for co-development include our level of internal expertise related to the field, manufacturing requirements, clinical trial size and complexity, target market size and investment considerations. If we determine that it is worthwhile to invest our capital in a development program for a product candidate, but we do not believe that we can internally meet the development requirements, we will seek a co-development partner. TACI-Ig meets the criteria for co-development, and we have entered into a collaborative development and marketing agreement with Serono to co-develop this product candidate.

 

Out-licensing.    We intend to derive value from other product candidates through out-licensing to other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies. From out-licensing transactions, we would expect to earn up-front license fees, milestone payments and royalties on sales. We would expect no ongoing participation, financial or otherwise, in development activities of these licensed products. We expect to out-license product candidates that do not fit within our future commercial focus, and to out-license rights to non-therapeutic applications of our discoveries, such as diagnostics.

 

Patents and Proprietary Rights

 

We intend to seek appropriate patent protection for our proprietary technologies by filing patent applications in the United States. We have more than 240 issued or allowed United States patents, and over 350 pending United States patent applications. When appropriate, we also seek foreign patent protection and to date have more than 500 issued or allowed foreign patents.

 

Our success will depend in large part on our ability to:

 

    obtain patent and other proprietary protection for the genes and proteins we discover;

 

    enforce and defend patents once obtained;

 

    operate without infringing the patents and proprietary rights of third parties; and

 

    preserve our trade secrets.

 

Our patents and patent applications are directed to composition of matter, methods of use and enabling technologies. Although we believe our patents and patent applications provide a competitive advantage, the patent protection available for genes and therapeutic protein-based products is highly uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions. No clear policy has emerged regarding the breadth of patents in this area. There have been, and continue to be, intensive discussions concerning the scope of patent protection for partial gene sequences, full-length genes and their corresponding proteins. Also, there is substantial uncertainty regarding patent protection for genes without known function or correlation with specific diseases. Social and

 

16


Table of Contents

political opposition to patents on genes may lead to narrower patent protection for genes and their corresponding proteins. Patent protection relating to genes and therapeutic protein-based products is also subject to a great deal of uncertainty outside the United States, and patent laws are currently undergoing review and revision in many countries. Changes in, or different interpretations of, patent laws in the United States and other countries may result in our inability to obtain patents covering the genes or proteins we discover or to enforce patents that have been issued to us, and may allow others to use our discoveries to develop and commercialize therapeutic protein-based products.

 

We apply for patents covering our discoveries and technologies as we deem appropriate. However, we may fail to apply for patents on important discoveries or technologies in a timely fashion or at all. Also, our pending patent applications may not result in the issuance of any patents. These applications may not be sufficient to meet the statutory requirements for patentability, and therefore we may be unable to obtain enforceable patents covering the related discoveries or technologies we may want to commercialize. In addition, because patent applications in the United States historically have been maintained in secrecy until a patent issues, other parties may have filed patent applications on genes or their corresponding proteins before we filed applications covering the same genes or proteins, and we may not be the first to discover these genes or proteins. Any patent applications filed by third parties may prevail over our patent applications or may result in patents that issue alongside patents issued to us, leading to uncertainty over the scope of the patents or the freedom to practice the claimed inventions.

 

Although we have a number of issued patents, the discoveries or technologies covered by these patents may not have any therapeutic or commercial value. Also, issued patents may not provide commercially meaningful protection against competitors. Other parties may be able to design around our issued patents or independently develop products having effects similar or identical to our patented product candidates. Some companies are currently attempting to develop therapeutic protein-based products substantially equivalent to products patented by other parties by altering the amino acid sequence within the therapeutic protein-based product and declaring the altered product a new product. It may be easier to develop substantially equivalent versions of therapeutic protein-based products such as monoclonal antibodies and soluble receptors than it is to develop substantially equivalent versions of the proteins with which they interact because there is often more than one antibody or receptor that has the same therapeutic effect. Consequently, any existing or future patents we have that cover monoclonal antibodies or soluble receptors may not provide any meaningful protection against competitors. In addition, the scope of our patents is subject to considerable uncertainty and competitors or other parties may obtain similar patents of uncertain scope. For example, other parties may discover uses for genes or proteins different from the uses covered in our patents, and these other uses may be separately patentable. If another party holds a patent on the use of a gene or protein, then even if we hold the patent covering the composition of matter of the gene or protein itself, that other party could prevent us from selling any product directed to such use. Also, other parties may have patents covering the composition of matter of genes or proteins for which we have patents covering only methods of use of these genes or proteins. Furthermore, the patents we hold relating to recombinant human proteins, such as our patents covering rFactor XIII or rhThrombin, may not prevent competitors from developing, manufacturing or selling other versions of these proteins. Moreover, although we hold patents relating to the manufacture of recombinant human thrombin, we have no composition of matter patent protection covering thrombin. Accordingly, we may not be able to prevent other parties from commercializing competing forms of recombinant human thrombin.

 

Third parties may infringe our patents or may initiate proceedings challenging the validity or enforceability of our patents. The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its validity or enforceability. Challenges raised in patent infringement litigation we initiate or in proceedings initiated by third parties may result in determinations that our patents have not been infringed or that they are invalid, unenforceable or otherwise subject to limitations.  In the event of any such determinations, third parties may be able to use the discoveries or technologies claimed in our patents without paying licensing fees or royalties to us, which could significantly diminish the value of these discoveries or technologies. Also, as a result of such determinations we may be enjoined from pursuing research, development or commercialization of potential products or may be required to obtain licenses, if

available, to the third-party patents or to develop or obtain alternative technology. Responding to challenges initiated by third parties may require significant expenditures and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from other business concerns. In addition, enforcing our patents against third parties may require significant expenditures regardless of the outcome of such efforts.

 

In addition, third parties may independently develop intellectual property similar to our patented intellectual property, which could result in, among other things, interference proceedings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office to determine priority of invention. An interference proceeding is an administrative proceeding to determine which party was first to invent the contested subject matter. Our product candidate rFactor XIII is currently the subject of an interference proceeding with Aventis Behring. Although we recently obtained a license to Aventis Behring’s Factor XIII patents for the development of rFactor XIII, other product candidates may in the future be the subject of similar proceedings.

 

Third parties may claim that our potential products or related technologies infringe their patents. Patent litigation is very common in the biopharmaceutical industry, and the risk of infringement claims is likely to increase as the industry expands and as other companies obtain more patents and increase their efforts to discover genes through automated means and to develop proteins. Any patent infringement claims that might be brought against us may cause us to incur significant expenses, divert the attention of our management and key personnel from other business concerns and, if successfully asserted against us, require us to pay substantial damages. In addition, as a result of a patent infringement suit, we may be forced to stop or delay developing, manufacturing or selling potential products that are claimed to infringe a patent covering a third party’s intellectual property unless that party grants us rights to use its intellectual property. We may be unable to obtain these rights on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Even if we are able to obtain rights to a third party’s patented intellectual property, these rights may be nonexclusive, thereby giving our competitors access to the same intellectual property. Ultimately, we may be unable to commercialize our potential products or may have to cease some of our business operations as a result of patent infringement claims.

 

In addition to our patented intellectual property, we also rely on unpatented technology, trade secrets and confidential information, including our genetic sequence database and our bioinformatics algorithms. Our policy is to require our employees, consultants and advisors to execute a confidentiality and proprietary information agreement before beginning their employment, consulting or advisory relationship with us. These agreements generally provide that the individual must keep confidential and not disclose to other parties any confidential information developed or learned by the individual during the course of the individual’s relationship with us except in limited circumstances. These agreements also generally provide that we shall own all inventions conceived by the individual in the course of rendering services to us. The agreements may not provide effective protection of our technology or confidential information or, in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure, may not provide adequate remedies.

 

As part of our business strategy, we work with third parties in our research and development activities. Accordingly, disputes may arise about inventorship and corresponding rights to know-how and inventions resulting from the joint creation or use of intellectual property by us and our corporate partners, licensors, scientific collaborators and consultants. In addition, other parties may circumvent any proprietary protection we do have. These parties may independently develop equivalent technologies or independently gain access to and disclose substantially equivalent information, and confidentially agreements and material transfer agreements we have entered into with them may not provide us with effective protection.

 

Government Regulation

 

Regulation by government authorities in the United States, Europe, Japan and other countries is a significant consideration in our ongoing research and product development activities and in the manufacture and marketing of our potential products. The FDA and comparable regulatory bodies in other countries currently regulate therapeutic proteins and related pharmaceutical products as biologics. Biologics are subject to extensive pre- and

 

18


Table of Contents

post-market regulation by the FDA, including regulations that govern the collection, testing, manufacture, safety, efficacy, potency, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising, promotion, sale and distribution of the products. The time required for completing testing and obtaining approvals of our product candidates is uncertain but will take several years. Any delay in testing may hinder product development. In addition, we may encounter delays in product development or rejections of product applications due to changes in FDA or foreign regulatory policies during the period of product development and testing. Failure to comply with regulatory requirements may subject us to, among other things, civil penalties and criminal prosecution; restrictions on product development and production; suspension, delay or withdrawal of approvals; and the seizure or recall of products. The lengthy process of obtaining regulatory approvals and ensuring compliance with appropriate statutes and regulations requires the expenditure of substantial resources. Any delay or failure by us or our corporate partners to obtain regulatory approvals could adversely affect our ability to commercialize product candidates, receive royalty payments and generate sales revenue.

 

The nature and extent of the governmental pre-market review process for our potential products will vary, depending on the regulatory categorization of particular products. The necessary steps before a new biological product may be marketed in the United States ordinarily include:

 

    preclinical laboratory and animal tests;

 

    compliance with product manufacturing requirements including, but not limited to, current GMP regulations;

 

    submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, which must become effective before clinical trials may commence;

 

    completion of adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the proposed drug for its intended use;

 

    submission to the FDA of a biologics license application; and

 

    FDA review and approval of the biologics license application prior to any commercial sale or shipment of the product.

 

Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluation of the product, as well as animal studies to assess the potential safety concerns and efficacy of the product. Preclinical tests must be conducted by laboratories that comply with current Good Laboratory Practices regulations. The results of preclinical tests, together with extensive manufacturing information, analytical data and proposed clinical trial protocols, are submitted to the FDA as part of an investigational new drug application, which must become effective before the initiation of clinical trials. The investigational new drug application will automatically become effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA unless the FDA indicates prior to the end of such 30-day period that the proposed protocol raises concerns that must be resolved to the satisfaction of the FDA before the trials may proceed. If the FDA raises any concerns regarding a proposed protocol, it is possible that these concerns will not be resolved in a timely fashion, if at all. In addition, the FDA may impose a clinical hold on a proposed or ongoing clinical trial if, for example, safety concerns arise, in which case the trial cannot commence or recommence without FDA authorization under terms sanctioned by the agency.

 

Clinical trials involve the administration of the product to healthy volunteers or to patients under the supervision of a qualified principal investigator. Clinical trials are conducted in accordance with current Good Clinical Practices regulations under protocols that detail the objectives of the trial, inclusion and exclusion criteria, the parameters to be used to monitor safety and the efficacy criteria to be evaluated. Protocols for each phase of the clinical trials are submitted to the FDA as part of the investigational new drug application. Further, each clinical trial must be reviewed and approved by an independent institutional review board at each institution. The institutional review board will consider, among other things, ethical factors, the safety of human subjects and the possibility of liability of the institution conducting the trial. An institutional review board may require changes in a protocol, and the submission of an investigational new drug application does not guarantee that a trial will be initiated or completed.

Clinical trials generally are conducted in three sequential phases that may overlap. In Phase 1, the initial product is administered to healthy human subjects or patients, or both, to assess safety, metabolism, pharmacokinetics and pharmacological actions associated with increasing doses. Phase 2 usually involves trials in a limited patient population to evaluate the efficacy of the potential product for specific, targeted indications, to determine dosage tolerance and optimum dosage, and to further identify possible adverse reactions and safety risks. If a compound appears to be effective and to have an acceptable safety profile in Phase 2 evaluations, Phase 3 trials are undertaken to evaluate further clinical efficacy in comparison to standard therapies, generally within a broader patient population at geographically dispersed clinical sites. Phase 3 protocols are reviewed with the FDA to establish endpoints and data handling parameters. Phase 1, Phase 2 or Phase 3 testing may not be completed successfully within any specific period of time, if at all, with respect to any of our potential products. Furthermore, we, an institutional review board, the FDA or other regulatory bodies may suspend a clinical trial at any time for various reasons, including a finding that the subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk.

 

The results of pharmaceutical development, preclinical trials and clinical trials are submitted to the FDA in the form of a biologics license application for approval of the manufacture, marketing and commercial shipment of the biological product. The biologics license application also must contain extensive manufacturing information, and each manufacturing facility must be inspected and approved by the FDA before the biologics license application will be approved. The testing and approval process is likely to require substantial time, effort and resources, and necessary approvals may not be granted on a timely basis, if at all. The FDA may deny a biologics license application if applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. The FDA may also require additional testing or information, or require post-market testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. In addition, after marketing approval is granted, the FDA may require post-marketing clinical trials, which typically entail extensive patient monitoring and may result in restricted marketing of an approved product for an extended period of time.

 

Some of our product candidates may qualify as orphan drugs under the Orphan Drug Act of 1983. This act generally provides incentives to manufacturers to undertake development and marketing of products to treat relatively rare diseases or those diseases that affect fewer than 200,000 persons annually in the United States. A drug that receives orphan drug designation by the FDA and is the first product to receive FDA marketing approval for its product claim is entitled to various advantages, including a seven-year exclusive marketing period in the United States for that product claim. However, any drug that is considered by the FDA to be different from or clinically superior to a particular orphan drug, including any orphan drug of ours that has been so designated by the FDA, will not be precluded from sale in the United States during the seven-year exclusive marketing period. It is possible that none of our product candidates will be designated as an orphan drug by the FDA or, if so designated, will have a positive effect on our revenues.

 

To manufacture our potential products, a domestic or foreign drug manufacturing facility must be registered with the FDA as a manufacturing establishment, must submit to periodic inspection by the FDA and must comply with current GMP regulations. In addition, the FDA imposes a number of complex regulations on entities that advertise and promote biologics, including, among others, standards and regulations for direct-to-consumer advertising, off-label promotions, industry-sponsored scientific and educational activities, and promotional activities involving the Internet. The FDA has very broad enforcement authority under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, and failure to abide by these regulations can result in penalties, including the issuance of a warning letter directing us to correct deviations from FDA standards, a requirement that future advertising and promotional materials be pre-cleared by the FDA, and civil and criminal penalties.

 

Whether or not FDA approval has been obtained, approval of a product by comparable foreign regulatory authorities is necessary prior to the commencement of marketing of a product in those countries. The approval procedures vary among countries and can involve additional testing. The time required to obtain approval may differ from that required for FDA approval. Although there are some centralized procedures for filings in the European Union countries, in general each country has its own procedures and requirements, and compliance

with these procedures and requirements may be expensive and time-consuming. Accordingly, there may be substantial delays in obtaining required approvals from foreign regulatory authorities after the relevant applications are filed, if we ultimately receive any approvals at all.

 

We are also subject to various federal, state and local laws, regulations and recommendations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturing practices, the experimental use of animals, and the use and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, including radioactive compounds and infectious disease agents, used in connection with our work. Government regulations that might result from future legislation or administrative action, including additions or changes to environmental laws, may materially affect our business operations and revenues.

 

Competition

 

We are in a race to identify, establish uses for and patent as many genes and their corresponding proteins as possible and to commercialize the products we develop from these genes and proteins. We face competition from other entities using sophisticated bioinformatics technologies to discover genes, including Genentech, Inc., Human Genome Sciences, Inc., Curagen, Inc. and Amgen Inc. We also face competition from entities using more traditional methods to discover genes related to particular diseases, including other large biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. We expect that competition in our field will continue to be intense.

 

Research to identify genes is also being conducted by various institutes and government-financed entities in the United States and in foreign countries, including France, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom, as well as by numerous smaller laboratories associated with universities or other not-for-profit entities. In addition, a number of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and government-financed programs are engaged or have announced their intention to engage in areas of research similar to or competitive with our focus on gene discovery, and other entities are likely to enter the field.

 

We believe the principal competitive factors affecting our markets are rights to develop and commercialize therapeutic protein-based products, including appropriate patent and proprietary rights; safety and effectiveness of therapeutic protein-based products; the timing and scope of regulatory approvals; the cost and availability of these products; the availability of appropriate third-party reimbursement programs; and the availability of alternative therapeutic products or treatments. Although we believe that we are well positioned to compete adequately with respect to these factors in the future, our future success is currently difficult to predict because we are an early stage company; nearly all of our internal product candidates are in preclinical development and have yet to undergo clinical trials. Also, although we believe that our bioinformatics technologies and exploratory biology capabilities provide us with a competitive advantage, any of the companies or other entities we compete with may discover and establish a patent position in one or more genes or proteins that we have identified and designated or considered designating as a product candidate. In addition, any potential products based on genes or proteins we identify will face competition both from companies developing gene- or protein-based products and from companies developing other forms of treatment for diseases that may be caused by, or related to, the genes or proteins we identify. Furthermore, our potential products, if approved and commercialized, may compete against well-established existing therapeutic protein-based products, many of which may be currently reimbursed by government health administration authorities, private health insurers and health maintenance organizations. Also, health care professionals and consumers may prefer existing or newly developed products to any product we develop.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2002, we had 364 full-time employees, 82 of whom hold degrees at the doctoral level. Currently, we have approximately 246 employees dedicated to research and development. Each of our employees has signed a confidentiality agreement, and no employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have never experienced employment-related work stoppages and consider our employee relations to be good.

Important Factors That May Affect Our Business, Our Results of Operations and Our Stock Price

 

Our bioinformatics-based discovery strategy is unproven, and we do not know whether we will be able to discover any genes or proteins of commercial value.

 

We do not know whether our bioinformatics-based therapeutic protein discovery strategy will yield commercially valuable products because we are in the early stages of development. For most of our corporate existence, we relied on exploratory biology to study particular diseases and medical conditions and to find potential treatments. We shifted our emphasis to bioinformatics-based discovery relatively recently. Bioinformatics is the use of high-powered computers, software and analytical tools to interpret DNA sequence data and to assist in identifying those genes and proteins that are likely to play a meaningful role in human health. We use bioinformatics to discover genes and their corresponding proteins in genomic databases, with the goal of developing therapeutic protein-based products based on these discoveries. We have not begun clinical trials of any product candidates discovered through our bioinformatics-based efforts, and we are not aware of any other company that has successfully commercialized products derived from bioinformatics-based research. Our bioinformatics-based strategy may not result in the successful development or commercialization of any products.

 

The availability of novel human genomic data continues to decrease, which affects our ability to discover entirely novel therapeutic proteins.

 

We have relied on the generation of new genomic data for the discovery of novel genes and proteins. Because the flow of genomic data has slowed, it has become increasingly difficult for us to discover novel genes through the analysis of this data. This decrease in the rate of generation of novel sequence data will impair our ability to discover entirely novel therapeutic proteins, and we will need to continue to develop approaches to find difficult-to-recognize proteins in order to discover novel proteins. We will also need to continue to develop approaches to establish the functions of proteins to find the therapeutic protein candidates.

 

We may not be able to develop commercially viable products from the key protein categories on which we focus.

 

We may not be able to discover any new therapeutic proteins of commercial value in the key therapeutic protein categories we target in our discovery and development efforts. Prior successes of other companies in commercializing protein-based products derived from these categories provide no indication that we will be able to discover any therapeutic proteins within these categories beyond those that we have already discovered. Also, we may not be able to successfully commercialize any novel therapeutic proteins we have discovered or may discover in the future. In addition, some of the protein categories we concentrate on have not yielded any successful therapeutic protein products or late-stage clinical trial candidates. Discovery and development efforts we expend on these categories may prove ineffective and may detract from our efforts to discover and develop therapeutic proteins within those categories that have shown more promise. Also, by focusing on specific categories of proteins, we may overlook other therapeutic proteins not contained in these categories that ultimately will be successfully commercialized by others. In addition, other classes of drugs may prove to have superior therapeutic benefits or be easier and more cost-effective to produce than therapeutic proteins.

 

Our patent applications may not result in issued patents, and our competitors may commercialize the discoveries we attempt to patent.

 

Our pending patent applications covering genes and their corresponding proteins may not result in the issuance of any patents. These applications may not be sufficient to meet the statutory requirements for patentability, and therefore we may be unable to obtain enforceable patents covering the related therapeutic protein-based product candidates we may want to commercialize. In addition, other parties have filed or may file patent applications that cover genes, proteins or related discoveries or technologies similar or identical to those covered in our patent applications. Because patent applications in the United States historically have been

 

22


Table of Contents

maintained in secrecy until a patent issues, other parties may have filed patent applications on genes or their corresponding proteins before we filed applications covering the same genes or proteins, and we may not be the first to discover these genes or proteins. Any patent applications filed by third parties may prevail over our patent applications or may result in patents that issue alongside patents issued to us, leading to uncertainty over the scope of the patents or the freedom to practice the claimed inventions.

 

Third parties may infringe our patents or challenge their validity or enforceability.

 

Third parties may infringe our patents or may initiate proceedings challenging the validity or enforceability of our patents. The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its validity or enforceability. Challenges raised in patent infringement litigation we initiate or in proceedings initiated by third parties may result in determinations that our patents have not been infringed or that they are invalid, unenforceable or otherwise subject to limitations. In the event of any such determinations, third parties may be able to use the discoveries or technologies claimed in our patents without paying licensing fees or royalties to us, which could significantly diminish the value of our intellectual property. Also, as a result of such determinations, we may be enjoined from commercializing potential products or may be required to obtain licenses, if available, to third-party patents or develop or obtain alternative technology. In addition, enforcing our patents against third parties may require significant expenditures regardless of the outcome of such efforts.

 

Furthermore, third parties may independently develop intellectual property similar to our patented intellectual property, which could result in, among other things, interference proceedings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office to determine priority of discovery or invention. Interference proceedings could result in the loss of or significant limitations on patent protection for our discoveries or technologies. Responding to interference proceedings or other challenges initiated by third parties may require significant expenditures and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from other business concerns.

 

We may be subject to patent infringement claims, which could result in substantial costs and liability and prevent us from commercializing our potential products.

 

Third parties may claim that our potential products or related technologies infringe their patents. Patent litigation is very common in the biopharmaceutical industry, and the risk of infringement claims is likely to increase as the industry expands and as other companies obtain more patents and increase their efforts to discover genes through automated means and to develop proteins. Any patent infringement claims or similar legal impediments that might be brought against us may cause us to incur significant expenses, divert the attention of our management and key personnel from other business concerns and, if successfully asserted against us, require us to pay substantial damages. In addition, as a result of a patent infringement suit, we may be forced to stop or delay developing, manufacturing or selling potential products that are claimed to infringe a patent covering a third party’s intellectual property unless that party grants us rights to use its intellectual property. We may be unable to obtain these rights on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Even if we are able to obtain rights to a third party’s patented intellectual property, these rights may be non-exclusive, and therefore our competitors may obtain access to the same intellectual property. Ultimately, we may be unable to commercialize our potential products or may have to cease some of our business operations as a result of patent infringement claims, which could severely harm our business.

 

Issued patents may not provide us with any competitive advantage or provide meaningful protection against competitors.

 

Issued patents may not provide us with any competitive advantage. Although we have a number of issued patents, the discoveries or technologies covered by these patents may not have any value. In addition, issued patents may not provide commercially meaningful protection against competitors. Other parties may be able to design around our issued patents or independently develop products having effects similar or identical to our patented product candidates. Some companies are currently attempting to develop therapeutic protein-based products substantially equivalent to products patented by other parties by altering the amino acid sequence within the therapeutic protein-based product and declaring the altered product a new product. It may be easier to

 

23


Table of Contents

develop substantially equivalent versions of therapeutic protein-based products such as monoclonal antibodies and soluble receptors than it is to develop substantially equivalent versions of the proteins with which they interact because there is often more than one antibody or receptor that has the same therapeutic effect. Consequently, any existing or future patents we have that cover monoclonal antibodies or soluble receptors may not provide any meaningful protection against competitors. In addition, the scope of our patents is subject to considerable uncertainty and competitors or other parties may obtain similar patents of uncertain scope. For example, other parties may discover uses for genes or proteins different from the uses covered in our patents, and these other uses may be separately patentable. If another party holds a patent on the use of a gene or protein, then even if we hold the patent covering the composition of matter of the gene or protein itself, that other party could prevent us from selling any product directed to such use. Also, other parties may have patents covering the composition of matter of genes or proteins for which we have patents covering only methods of use of these genes or proteins. Furthermore, the patents we hold relating to recombinant human proteins, such as our patents covering rFactor XIII or rhThrombin, may not prevent competitors from developing, manufacturing or selling other versions of these proteins. Moreover, although we hold patents relating to the manufacture of recombinant human thrombin, we have no composition of matter patent protection covering thrombin. Accordingly, we may not be able to prevent other parties from commercializing competing forms of recombinant human thrombin.

 

The patent field relating to therapeutic protein-based products is subject to a great deal of uncertainty, and if patent laws or the interpretation of patent laws change, our competitors may be able to develop and commercialize products based on proteins that we discovered.

 

The patent protection available for genes and therapeutic protein-based products is highly uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions that determine who has the right to develop a particular product. No clear policy has emerged regarding the breadth of patents in this area. There have been, and continue to be, intensive discussions concerning the scope of patent protection for partial gene sequences, full-length genes and their corresponding proteins. Social and political opposition to patents on genes may lead to narrower patent protection for genes and their corresponding proteins. Patent protection relating to genes and therapeutic protein-based products is also subject to a great deal of uncertainty outside the United States, and patent laws are currently undergoing review and revision in many countries. Changes in, or different interpretations of, patent laws in the United States and other countries may result in our inability to obtain patents covering the genes or proteins we discover or to enforce patents that have been issued to us, and may allow others to use our discoveries to develop and commercialize therapeutic protein-based products.

 

We expect to incur significant expenses in applying for patent protection and prosecuting our patent applications.

 

We may fail to secure meaningful patent protection relating to any of our existing or future product candidates, discoveries or technologies despite the expenditure of considerable resources. Our success depends significantly on the establishment of patent protection for the genes, proteins and related technologies we discover or invent. Consequently, we intend to continue our substantial efforts in applying for patent protection and prosecuting pending and future patent applications. These efforts have historically required the expenditure of considerable time and money, and we expect that they will continue to require significant expenditures. If future changes in United States or foreign patent laws complicate or hinder our efforts to obtain patent protection, the costs associated with patent prosecution may increase significantly.

 

We may be unable to protect our proprietary technology and information.

 

In addition to our patented intellectual property, we also rely on unpatented technology, trade secrets and confidential information. We may not be able to effectively protect our rights to this technology or information. Other parties may independently develop equivalent technologies or independently gain access to and disclose substantially equivalent information. Disputes may arise about inventorship and corresponding rights to know-how and inventions resulting from the joint creation or use of intellectual property by us and our corporate partners, licensees, scientific and academic collaborators and consultants. In addition, confidentiality agreements

 

24


Table of Contents

and material transfer agreements we have entered into with these parties and with employees and advisors may not provide effective protection of our technology or information or, in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure, may not provide adequate remedies.

 

We have limited experience in developing products.

 

We have not yet developed or commercialized any products on our own. Our contributions to the discovery or development of certain therapeutic proteins currently on the market do not indicate that we will be able to successfully develop products alone. Our work relating to these marketed products did not include clinical trials, manufacturing, marketing or other late-stage development or commercialization activities. We have limited experience with product development activities and may not be successful in developing or commercializing any products.

 

Any failure or delay in commencing or completing clinical trials for product candidates could severely harm our business.

 

The successful commercialization of any product candidates will depend on regulatory approval in each market in which we, our collaborators or our licensees intend to market the product candidates. Each of our product candidates must undergo extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials as a condition to regulatory approval. Preclinical studies and clinical trials are time-consuming and expensive and together take several years to complete, and to date we have not completed any clinical trials on our own. The commencement and completion of clinical trials for our product candidates may be delayed by many factors, including:

 

    our inability or the inability of our collaborators or licensees to manufacture or obtain from third parties materials sufficient for use in preclinical studies and clinical trials;

 

    delays in patient enrollment and variability in the number and types of patients available for clinical trials;

 

    difficulty in maintaining contact with patients after treatment, resulting in incomplete data;

 

    poor effectiveness of product candidates during the clinical trials;

 

    unforeseen safety issues or side effects; and

 

    governmental or regulatory delays.

 

It is possible that none of our product candidates, whether developed on our own, with collaborators or by licensees, will enter or complete clinical trials in any of the markets in which we, our collaborators or licensees intend to sell those product candidates. Accordingly, we, our collaborators or licensees may not receive the regulatory approvals needed to market our product candidates in any markets. Any failure or delay in commencing or completing clinical trials or obtaining regulatory approvals for our product candidates could severely harm our business.

 

Clinical trials may fail to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of our product candidates, which could prevent or significantly delay their regulatory approval.

 

Clinical trials involving our product candidates may reveal that those candidates are ineffective, are unacceptably toxic or have other unacceptable side effects. In addition, data obtained from tests are susceptible to varying interpretations, which may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. Likewise, the results of preliminary studies do not predict clinical success, and larger and later-stage clinical trials may not produce the same results as earlier-stage trials. Frequently, product candidates that have shown promising results in early clinical trials have subsequently suffered significant setbacks in later clinical trials. For example, in 1998, Amgen Inc. halted Phase 3 clinical trials in the United States relating to our product candidate Thrombopoietin in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia after reports of the development of neutralizing antibodies in both cancer patients and volunteer donors in platelet donation trials. In addition, clinical trials of potential products often reveal that it is not practical or feasible to continue development efforts for these product

candidates. For example, in 2001, Celltech Group plc discontinued development of platelet-derived growth factor receptor antibody, a product candidate that Celltech licensed from us and designated as CDP 860, for the treatment of restenosis. Celltech concluded that the Phase 2 clinical trial results did not justify further development of CDP 860 as a restenosis therapy.

 

We may be unable to satisfy the rigorous government regulations relating to the development and commercialization of our product candidates.

 

Any failure to receive the regulatory approvals necessary to commercialize our product candidates could severely harm our business. Our product candidates are subject to extensive and rigorous government regulation. The FDA regulates, among other things, the collection, testing, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, potency, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising, promotion, sale and distribution of therapeutic products. If our potential products are marketed abroad, they will also be subject to extensive regulation by foreign governments. None of our product candidates has been approved for sale in the United States or any foreign market, and we have only limited experience in filing and pursuing applications necessary to gain regulatory approvals.

 

The regulatory review and approval process, which includes preclinical studies and clinical trials of each product candidate, is lengthy, expensive and uncertain. Securing FDA approval requires the submission of extensive preclinical and clinical data and supporting information to the FDA for each indication to establish the product candidate’s safety and effectiveness. The approval process typically takes many years to complete and may involve ongoing requirements for post-marketing studies. Any FDA or other regulatory approval of our product candidates, once obtained, may be withdrawn. In addition, government regulation may result in:

 

    prohibitions or significant delays in the marketing of potential products;

 

    discontinuation of marketing of potential products; and

 

    limitations of the indicated uses for which potential products may be marketed.

 

If we fail to comply with the laws and regulations pertaining to our business, we may be subject to sanctions, including the temporary or permanent suspension of operations, product recalls, marketing restrictions and civil and criminal penalties.

 

Our plan to use collaborations to leverage our capabilities may not be successful.

 

As part of our business strategy, we have entered into collaboration arrangements with strategic partners to develop product candidates and will continue to evaluate similar opportunities. For our collaboration efforts to be successful, we must identify partners whose competencies complement ours. We must also successfully enter into collaboration agreements with them on terms attractive to us and integrate and coordinate their resources and capabilities with our own. We may be unsuccessful in entering into collaboration agreements with acceptable partners or negotiating favorable terms in these agreements. Also, we may be unsuccessful in integrating the resources or capabilities of these collaborators. In addition, our collaborators may prove difficult to work with or less skilled than we originally expected. If we are unsuccessful in our collaborative efforts, our ability to develop and market product candidates could be severely limited.

 

We may not be able to generate any revenue from product candidates developed by collaborators or licensees if they are unable to successfully develop those candidates.

 

We may be unable to derive any value from product candidates developed by collaborators or licensees. Our ability to generate revenues from existing or future collaborations and license arrangements is subject to numerous risks, including:

 

    the possibility that our collaborators or licensees lack sufficient financial, technical or other capabilities to develop these product candidates;

 

26


Table of Contents

 

    the length of time that it takes for our collaborators or licensees to achieve various clinical development and regulatory approval milestones;

 

    the inability of collaborators or licensees to successfully address any regulatory or technical challenges they may encounter; and

 

    the possibility that these product candidates may not be effective or may prove to have undesirable side effects, unacceptable toxicities or other characteristics that preclude regulatory approval or prevent or limit commercial use.

 

Novo Nordisk has substantial rights to license proteins we discover, which may limit our ability to pursue other collaboration or licensing arrangements or benefit from our discoveries.

 

As part of our separation from Novo Nordisk, we granted Novo Nordisk options to license certain rights to several of our potential therapeutic proteins under an option agreement. Although we generally retain North American rights to the proteins licensed by Novo Nordisk pursuant to this agreement, Novo Nordisk has rights to these proteins in the rest of the world. In addition, under this agreement Novo Nordisk has worldwide rights, including rights in North America, to any licensed proteins that act to generate, expand or prevent the death of insulin-producing beta cells. Novo Nordisk has already exercised options to license three proteins, and it may license other proteins in the future pursuant to this agreement. Our agreement with Novo Nordisk may:

 

    preclude or delay opportunities to seek other collaborators for our product candidates, due to the fact that we cannot explore other collaboration opportunities relating to proteins subject to the agreement until after Novo Nordisk has decided not to exercise an option with respect to the protein, which decision Novo Nordisk may withhold until well into the product development cycle;

 

    limit the financial benefits we may derive from product candidates by allowing Novo Nordisk to license proteins in exchange for predetermined payments and royalties and with predetermined cost-sharing arrangements, which payments and royalty rates may be less than, and which cost-sharing arrangements may be less favorable to us than, terms we might otherwise obtain in collaborative or licensing arrangements with other parties;

 

    result in Novo Nordisk licensing proteins with the most therapeutic and commercial potential, leaving us with fewer or less desirable product candidates to develop on our own or with other potential collaborators; and

 

    prevent us from collaborating with or licensing a product candidate to another company that, by virtue of its particular skills and capabilities, may be a more desirable collaborator or licensing partner for that particular product candidate than Novo Nordisk.

 

Because we currently do not have the capability to manufacture materials for clinical trials or for commercial sale, we will have to rely on third parties to manufacture our potential products, and we may be unable to obtain required quantities in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

We currently do not have the manufacturing facilities necessary to produce materials for clinical trials or commercial sale, and we have only limited capabilities to produce materials for preclinical studies. We intend to rely on collaborators and third-party contract manufacturers to produce the quantities of drug materials needed for preclinical studies, clinical trials and commercialization of our potential products. We will have to rely on these manufacturers to deliver materials on a timely basis and to comply with regulatory requirements, including current GMP regulations enforced by the FDA through its facilities inspection program. These manufacturers may not be able to meet our needs with respect to timing, quantity or quality of materials, and may fail to satisfy applicable regulatory requirements with respect to the manufacturing of these materials. If we are unable to contract for a sufficient supply of needed materials on acceptable terms, or if we encounter delays in the delivery of materials from, or difficulties in our relationships with, manufacturers, our preclinical studies and clinical

 

27


Table of Contents

trials may be delayed. Delays in preclinical studies could postpone the filing of investigational new drug applications or the initiation of clinical trials, and delays in clinical trials could postpone the subsequent submission of product candidates for regulatory approval and market introduction.

 

We may not be successful in developing internal manufacturing capabilities or complying with applicable manufacturing regulations.

 

We may be unable to establish the internal manufacturing capabilities necessary to develop our potential products. Therapeutic proteins are often more difficult and expensive to manufacture than other classes of drugs, and the manufacture of therapeutic proteins may not be commercially feasible. Also, we will be required to adhere to rigorous GMP regulations in the manufacture of therapeutic proteins. Assuming we successfully complete construction of our planned small-scale GMP manufacturing suites, we will need to hire and train employees to staff them. These initial manufacturing suites will not provide us with the capability to produce drug materials for commercial sale. To develop this capability we would need to acquire larger manufacturing facilities. If any of our future facilities cannot pass a pre-approval plant inspection, the FDA pre-market approval of our product candidates may not be granted. In complying with these regulations and any applicable foreign regulatory requirements, we will be obligated to expend time, money and effort in production, record keeping and quality control to assure that our potential products meet applicable specifications and other requirements. Any failure to comply with these requirements may subject us to regulatory sanctions and delay or interrupt our development and commercialization efforts.

 

In addition, some of the inventions licensed to us were initially developed at universities or other not-for-profit institutions with funding support from an agency of the United States government. In accordance with federal law, we or our licensees may be required to manufacture products covered by patents in those inventions in the United States, unless we can obtain a waiver from the government on the basis that such domestic manufacture is not commercially feasible. We have not attempted to secure any such waivers from the government, and do not know if they would be available if sought. If we are not able to obtain such waivers on a timely basis, we might be forced to seek manufacturing arrangements at higher prices, or on otherwise less favorable terms, than might be available to us in the absence of this domestic manufacturing requirement.

 

Because we will depend on third parties to conduct laboratory tests and clinical trials, we may encounter delays in or lose some control over our efforts to develop product candidates.

 

We will rely on third parties to design and conduct laboratory tests and clinical trials for us. If we are unable to obtain these services on acceptable terms, we may not be able to complete our product development efforts in a timely manner. Also, because we will rely on third parties for laboratory tests and clinical trials, we may lose some control over these activities or be unable to manage them appropriately, or may become too dependent on these parties. These third parties may not complete the tests or trials on schedule or when we request, and the tests or trials may be methodologically flawed or otherwise defective. Any delays or difficulties associated with third-party laboratory tests or clinical trials may delay the development of our product candidates.

 

Because we currently have no sales or marketing capabilities, we may be unable to successfully commercialize our potential products.

 

We currently have no direct sales capabilities or marketing capabilities. We expect that in the future we will rely on collaborators or other third parties to market any products that we may develop. These third parties may not be successful in marketing our potential products, and we will have little or no control over their marketing efforts. In addition, we may co-promote our potential products or retain marketing rights in North America to these products. If we decide to market products directly, we will need to incur significant additional expenses and commit significant additional management resources to develop effective sales and marketing capabilities. We may not be able to establish these capabilities despite these additional expenditures. In addition, co-promotion or other marketing arrangements with third parties to commercialize potential products could significantly limit the revenues we derive from these products.

Environmental and health and safety laws may result in liabilities, expenses and restrictions on our operations.

 

State and federal laws regarding environmental protection, hazardous substances and human health and safety may adversely affect our business. The use of hazardous substances in our operations exposes us to the risk of accidental releases. If our operations result in contamination of the environment or expose individuals to hazardous substances, we could be liable for damages and fines. Future changes to environmental and health and safety laws could cause us to incur additional expenses or restrict our operations. In addition, the site where our principal headquarters and facilities are located has been listed as a contaminated property by the State of Washington due to its previous use by the City of Seattle as an electricity generating plant. The City of Seattle has agreed to defend us against and indemnify us for any claims that arise from this pre-existing contamination, except to the extent that we caused the claim through our negligence or intentional fault, or to the extent that we contributed to the contamination that is the subject of the claim, caused an increase in the clean-up costs or failed to comply with our obligations under our agreement with the City of Seattle. This indemnity may be insufficient and we may be subject to environmental liabilities or be prohibited from using or occupying some or all of the property as a result of environmental claims.

 

We anticipate incurring additional losses and may not achieve profitability.

 

As of December 31, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of $141.5 million. We expect to continue to incur increasing losses over the next several years, and we may never become profitable. We are in the early stages of development as an independent company, and it will be a number of years, if ever, before we generate any revenues from our own product sales. Our revenues from existing collaborative and licensing arrangements are insufficient to cover our operating expenses, and we may never generate revenues from these or any future arrangements sufficient to cover these expenses. In addition, we will continue to incur substantial expenses relating to our discovery and development efforts. We anticipate that these expenses will increase as we focus on the laboratory tests and clinical trials required to obtain the regulatory approvals necessary for the sale of any products. The development of our product candidates will require significant further research, development, testing and regulatory approvals. We may not be able to complete such development or succeed in developing products that will generate revenues in excess of the costs of development.

 

Our operating results are subject to fluctuations that may cause our stock price to decline.

 

Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and are likely to continue to do so in the future. Our revenues are unpredictable and may fluctuate due to the timing of licensing fees or the achievement of milestones under new or existing licensing and collaborative arrangements, including our option agreement with Novo Nordisk. In addition, our expenses may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to the timing of expenses, including payments owed by us under collaborative or licensing arrangements. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our past operating results are not good indicators of our future performance and should not be relied on to predict our future operating results. For example, for periods prior to 2000, most of our revenues represented payments received from Novo Nordisk for research and development activities we conducted on their behalf. This arrangement terminated in 2000 in connection with our separation from Novo Nordisk. It is possible that in the future our operating results in a particular quarter or quarters will not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, causing the market price of our common stock to decline.

 

If we do not obtain substantial additional funding on acceptable terms, we may not be able to continue to grow our business or generate enough revenue to recover our investment in research and development.

 

Our business does not currently generate the cash needed to finance our operations. We anticipate that we will continue to expend substantial funds on our discovery and development programs. We expect that these expenditures will increase significantly over the next several years as we hire additional employees, expand our preclinical development activities and begin internal clinical trials. We will need to seek additional funding

through public or private financings, including equity financings, and through other arrangements, including collaborative and licensing arrangements. Poor financial results, unanticipated expenses or unanticipated opportunities that require financial commitments could give rise to additional financing requirements sooner than we expect. However, financing may be unavailable when we need it or may not be available on acceptable terms. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our existing shareholders will be diluted, and these securities may have rights superior to those of our common stock. If we are unable to raise additional funds when we need them, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate expenditures for some of our discovery or development programs. We may also be required to grant rights to third parties to develop and market product candidates that we would prefer to develop and market internally, and such rights may be granted on terms that are not favorable to us. If we were required to grant such rights, the ultimate value of these product candidates to us would be reduced.

 

Negative public opinion and increased regulatory scrutiny of genetic and clinical research may limit our ability to conduct our business.

 

Ethical, social and legal concerns about genetic and clinical research could result in additional regulations restricting or prohibiting some of our activities or the activities of our suppliers and collaborators. In recent years, federal and state agencies, congressional committees and foreign governments have expressed interest in further regulating the biotechnology industry. More restrictive regulations could delay preclinical studies or future clinical trials, or prevent us from obtaining regulatory approvals or commercializing any products. In addition, animal rights activists may protest our use of animals in research and development and may attempt to disrupt our operations, which could cause us to incur significant expenses and distract our management’s attention from other business concerns.

 

Many of our competitors have substantially greater capabilities and resources than we do and may be able to develop and commercialize products before we do.

 

We may be unable to compete successfully against our current or future competitors. We expect that competition in our field will continue to be intense. We face competition from other entities using sophisticated bioinformatics technologies to discover genes, including Genentech, Inc., Human Genome Sciences, Inc., Curagen, Inc. and Amgen, Inc. We also face competition from entities using more traditional methods to discover genes related to particular diseases, including other large biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. In addition, we face competition from other parties that conduct research to identify genes and conduct human genome research similar to or competing with our focus on gene discovery, including biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies; privately or publicly financed research institutes or programs, such as those sponsored by the United States government and the governments of France, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom; and laboratories associated with universities or other not-for-profit organizations. Furthermore, our potential products, if approved and commercialized, may compete against well-established existing therapeutic protein-based products, many of which may be currently reimbursed by government health administration authorities, private health insurers and health maintenance organizations. Also, health care professionals and consumers may prefer existing or newly developed products to any product we develop.

 

Many of our existing and potential competitors have substantially greater research and product development capabilities and financial, scientific, marketing and human resources than we do. As a result, these competitors may:

 

    succeed in identifying genes or proteins, or developing therapeutic protein-based products, earlier than we do;

 

    obtain approvals for products from the FDA or other regulatory agencies more rapidly than we do;

 

    obtain patents that block or otherwise inhibit our ability to develop and commercialize our product candidates;

 

30


Table of Contents

 

    develop treatments or cures that are safer or more effective than those we propose to develop;

 

    devote greater resources to marketing or selling their products;

 

    introduce or adapt more quickly to new technologies or scientific advances, which could render our bioinformatics technologies obsolete;

 

    introduce products that make the continued development of our potential products uneconomical;

 

    withstand price competition more successfully than we can;

 

    more effectively negotiate third-party collaborative or licensing arrangements; and

 

    take advantage of acquisition or other opportunities more readily than we can.

 

The failure to attract or retain key management or other personnel could decrease our ability to discover, develop and commercialize potential products.

 

We depend on our senior executive officers as well as key scientific and other personnel. Only a few of our key personnel are bound by employment agreements, and those with employment agreements are bound only for a limited period of time. Further, we have not purchased key-person life insurance policies for any of our executive officers or key personnel. Competition for scientists and other qualified employees is intense among pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and the loss of qualified employees, or an inability to attract, retain and motivate the additional highly skilled employees required for the expansion of our activities, could hinder our ability to discover, develop and commercialize potential products.

 

If the health care system or reimbursement policies change, the prices of our potential products may fall or our potential sales may decline.

 

In recent years, officials have made numerous proposals to change the health care system in the United States. These proposals include measures that would limit or prohibit payments for certain medical procedures and treatments or subject the pricing of pharmaceuticals to government control. Government and other third-party payors increasingly have attempted to contain health care costs by limiting both coverage and the level of reimbursement of newly approved health care products. They may also refuse to provide any coverage of uses of approved products for medical indications other than those for which the FDA has granted marketing approval. Governments may adopt future legislative proposals and federal, state or private payors for health care goods and services may take further action to limit payments for health care products and services. In addition, in certain foreign countries, particularly the countries of the European Union, the pricing of prescription pharmaceuticals is subject to governmental control. Any of these factors could limit our ability to successfully commercialize our potential products.

 

We may be required to defend lawsuits or pay damages in connection with the alleged or actual harm caused by our product candidates.

 

We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our product candidates is alleged to have resulted in harm to others. This risk exists in clinical trials as well as in commercial distribution. In addition, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries in general have been subject to significant medical malpractice litigation. We may incur significant expenses if product liability or malpractice lawsuits against us are successful. Although we maintain product liability insurance, our coverage may not be adequate to cover such claims.

 

Our stock price may be volatile.

 

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to many factors beyond our control, including:

 

    changes in the recommendations of securities analysts or changes in their financial estimates of our operating results;

 

31


Table of Contents

 

    failures in meeting performance expectations of securities analysts or investors;

 

    fluctuations in the valuations of companies perceived by securities analysts or investors to be comparable to us; and

 

    share price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares.

 

Furthermore, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. In particular, there have been high levels of volatility in the market prices of securities of biotechnology companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively impact the market price of our common stock. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

 

Certain of our shareholders have significant control of our management and affairs, which they could exercise against other shareholders’ best interests.

 

Novo Nordisk, together with Warburg, Pincus Equity Partners, L.P. and entities affiliated with Apax Partners, Inc., beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 70% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, Novo Nordisk and Warburg, Pincus Equity Partners have rights to designate director nominees to our board of directors. These shareholders, acting together, have the ability to control our management and affairs and matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of our assets. Consequently, these shareholders, acting together, have the ability to cause a change in control, as well as to delay or prevent a change in control. They may also discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to effect a change in control, even if such a change in control would benefit our other shareholders.

 

Provisions in our charter documents could prevent or frustrate any attempts to replace our current management by shareholders.

 

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions, such as undesignated preferred stock and prohibitions on cumulative voting in the election of directors, which could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors. Also, our articles of incorporation provide for a staggered board, removal of directors only for cause and certain requirements for calling special shareholder meetings. In addition, our bylaws require advance notice of shareholder proposals and nominations and to impose restrictions on the persons who may call special shareholder meetings. These provisions may have the effect of preventing or hindering any attempts by our shareholders to replace our current management.

Item 2.    Properties

 

We are headquartered in Seattle, Washington, where we lease two buildings containing approximately 160,000 square feet. In 2003, construction is expected to begin on an expansion of one of these buildings that will add approximately 45,000 square feet of additional laboratory and office space. We own land adjacent to one of the existing buildings on which we originally intended to construct a pilot manufacturing plant. We are holding this land for potential expansion in the future. In addition, we have leased approximately 15,000 square feet of space in a nearby office building. We believe that our existing facilities, together with available, planned and potential expansion space, will be adequate to fulfill our needs for the foreseeable future.

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic protein-based products for the treatment of human disease. We have been involved in the discovery and development of therapeutic protein-based products for over 20 years, including 12 years as a wholly owned

 

34


Table of Contents

subsidiary of Novo Nordisk, a Danish pharmaceutical company. During this time, we contributed to the discovery or development of five products currently marketed by other companies. In August 1988, we were acquired by and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Novo Nordisk. From the date of our acquisition through December 31, 1999, we earned the majority of our revenues by conducting research and development activities for Novo Nordisk. We were paid at a rate of 110% of our research and development costs incurred in connection with all projects performed on behalf of Novo Nordisk pursuant to a funding agreement. We had net income of $5.7 million in 1998 and $9.4 million in 1999.

 

In anticipation of our separation from Novo Nordisk pursuant to a planned restructuring by Novo Nordisk, the funding agreement was terminated effective January 1, 2000. Also effective January 1, 2000, Novo Nordisk contributed to us the rights inside the United States to certain intellectual property, including patents on products on which we currently generate royalty revenues. Concurrently, we purchased the rights outside the United States to this intellectual property from Novo Nordisk, paying them $35.7 million in October 2000. In addition, in September 2000, we assigned to Novo Nordisk patents and other rights relating to Factor VII, including NovoSeven, and insulin analogues, including NovoRapid, for a one-time payment of $90.1 million, which was recorded as a capital contribution. As a result of this transaction, effective September 2000 we no longer receive royalties on sales of Factor VII and insulin analogues.

 

In November 2000, Novo Nordisk effected the restructuring. As part of the restructuring, we became an independent company in a transaction that included a $150.0 million private placement of our Series B preferred stock and the reduction of Novo Nordisk’s ownership to approximately 62% of our outstanding capital stock and less than 50% of our outstanding voting stock. At the same time, we granted Novo Nordisk an option to license certain rights to potential therapeutic proteins pursuant to an option agreement, including rights to a defined number of proteins outside of North America over a period of four years in return for option fees of $7.5 million per year. Novo Nordisk may elect to extend the option agreement for an additional two years in return for continuing option fees of $7.5 million per year. For each exercise of an option by Novo Nordisk, we will receive a license fee, the amount of which depends on the development stage of the protein licensed. We are entitled to additional amounts upon the achievement of predefined milestones. In addition, we will earn royalties on sales of any resulting products. To date, Novo Nordisk has exercised options to license three proteins pursuant to this agreement.

 

In February 2002, we completed our initial public offering. Upon the completion of the initial public offering, each share of Series A and B preferred stock held by Novo Nordisk and other investors converted into 3.6 shares of non-voting and voting common stock, respectively. In June 2002, all shares of non-voting common stock were converted into the same number of shares of voting common stock. As of December 31, 2002, Novo Nordisk’s ownership percentage was 47.5%.

 

After termination of the funding agreement with Novo Nordisk, we incurred net losses of $30.4 million, $36.9 million and $30.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of $141.5 million. The accumulated deficit resulted from the net losses and certain capital transactions with Novo Nordisk. We expect our net losses to increase in the future as we continue to expand our product development activities, including clinical trials, and build additional infrastructure.

 

Our current revenue sources are limited, and we do not generate any direct revenues from product sales. We earn royalties on sales of products by several licensees, including Novo Nordisk. For the year ended December 31, 2002, revenues from royalties were $8.0 million. In the near term, we expect our revenues to consist primarily of product royalties, the option fees from Novo Nordisk and revenues generated under existing collaborative agreements with Novo Nordisk and Serono S.A. As of December 31, 2002 we had deferred revenues aggregating $16.8 million, of which $10.3 million are expected to be recognized in 2003. Additionally, we may generate revenues from the establishment of new collaborative research and development arrangements and license agreements. Ultimately, we intend to derive revenues from commercial product sales. Because a

 

35


Table of Contents

substantial portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future will depend on the establishment of new agreements and the achievement of development-related milestones, our results of operations could vary substantially from year to year.

 

We recognized revenues from our funding agreement with Novo Nordisk when costs were incurred on Novo Nordisk-related projects. We recognize revenues from royalties when amounts are due and considered collectible. We recognize revenues from license fees, option fees and up-front payments in connection with other rights or services that represent continuing obligations systematically over the period that the fees or payments are earned. We recognize revenues from milestone payments representing completion of separate and substantive earnings processes when the milestone is achieved and amounts are due and payable. These amounts are dependent on the completion of development-related milestones, which may not be achieved.

 

Our operating expenses consist of research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses and noncash stock-based compensation expense. Research and development expenses have been our most significant expenses to date and consist primarily of salaries and benefit expenses, costs of consumables, facility costs and contracted services. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefit expenses, professional fees and other corporate costs. We expect our research and development and general and administrative expenses to increase in the foreseeable future as we continue to expand our product development activities. We expect that a large percentage of our research and development expenses in 2003 will be incurred in support of our internal product development programs for rFactor XIII, rhThrombin, TACI-Ig and IL-21. It is not unusual for the clinical development of these types of products to take five years or more to complete, and to cost well over $100 million per product candidate. The time and cost of completing the clinical development of these product candidates will depend on a number of factors, including the disease or medical condition to be treated, clinical trial design and endpoints, availability of patients to participate in trials and the relative efficacy of the product versus treatments already approved. Due to these many uncertainties, we are unable to estimate the length of time or the costs that will be required to complete the development of these product candidates.

 

Under our Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, stock options were granted in 2000 with exercise prices equal to the estimated fair value of the common stock at the date of grant. In 2001 and early 2002, prior to the completion of our initial public offering, stock options were granted to employees and directors at exercise prices below the estimated fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. As a result, we recorded total deferred stock-based compensation of $29.0 million through December 31, 2002. Deferred stock-based compensation is being amortized to expense over the vesting periods of the underlying options, generally four years, using the straight-line method. We amortized noncash stock-based compensation expense of $3.5 million in 2001, $7.2 million in 2002, and expect to amortize $7.2 million in 2003, $7.2 million in 2004 and $3.9 million in 2005. The amount of noncash stock-based compensation expense expected to be recorded in future periods may decrease if unvested options for which deferred stock-based compensation has been recorded are subsequently cancelled. Although we have no intention of doing so, the amount could increase if future options are granted with exercise prices below the estimated fair value of the common stock on the date of the grant.

 

Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest income and interest expense. Interest income is generated primarily from investment of our cash reserves. In addition, we earned $2.3 million in interest from Novo Nordisk on a royalty payment received in March 2000. Interest expense relates generally to periodic short-term borrowings from Novo Nordisk, all of which occurred and were repaid in full prior to our separation from Novo Nordisk in November 2000. As a result of the sale leaseback transaction completed in October 2002, we recorded a deferred gain of $14.4 million, which will be recognized as other income on a straight-line basis over the 15-year initial lease term.

 

Benefit (provision) for income taxes consists of income taxes computed at federal statutory rates less applicable credits. Subsequent to November 10, 2000, we have provided full valuation allowances for net deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2002, we had net operating loss carryforwards of $52.5 million, research and development tax credit carryforwards of $15.0 million, a rehabilitation tax credit carryforward of $1.5

million, and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $1.2 million. These credits will expire during the period from 2008 through 2022. On October 20, 2000, we entered into a tax sharing agreement related to our separation from Novo Nordisk. This agreement requires that all research and development credit carryforwards generated prior to November 10, 2000 that we use to generate a tax benefit in future periods be reimbursed to Novo Nordisk, provided that the total reimbursement will not exceed $12.0 million. Due to the uncertainty regarding the ultimate utilization of these tax benefits, a valuation allowance has been recorded for the entire amount of the related net deferred tax assets.

 

As a result of our separation from Novo Nordisk in November 2000, and the subsequent evolving nature of our business, we believe that certain period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied on as an indication of future performance.

 

Results of Operations

 

Years Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001

 

Revenues.    Revenues increased by $35.0 million, from $17.8 million in 2001 to $52.8 million in 2002. This increase was due primarily to a one-time license fee payment of $30.0 million received in December 2002, which resulted from the granting of a license to our Ig-fusion protein patents. As a result of the agreement, the patent infringement lawsuit filed by us in March 2002 against Immunex Corporation (now owned by Amgen) was terminated by all parties. The revenue increase was also due to increased revenues from licensing arrangements and milestone payments based on the achievement of development-related milestones. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in product royalties in 2002.

 

Research and development expenses.    Research and development expenses, exclusive of noncash stock-based compensation expense of $2.1 million in 2001 and $4.5 million in 2002, increased by $18.4 million, from $48.1 million in 2001 to $66.5 million in 2002. A significant portion of the increase was due to increased expenses for contract manufacturing to support the development of two of our lead internal product candidates, rFactor XIII and rhThrombin. Additionally, an increase in personnel, primarily in areas supporting product development, resulted in an increase in salaries and related costs. We anticipate that research and development expenses, particularly with respect to clinical trials, will increase in the foreseeable future as we continue to advance our internal development programs. Annual rent expense of $6.6 million resulting from the sale leaseback transaction, of which the majority will be classified as research and development expense, will also contribute to future increases.

 

General and administrative expenses.    General and administrative expenses, exclusive of noncash stock-based compensation expense of $1.4 million in 2001 and $2.6 million in 2002, increased by $6.4 million from $10.5 million in 2001 to $16.9 million in 2002. The increase reflects added administrative personnel, resulting in an increase in salaries and related costs; an increase in legal costs associated with the recently settled lawsuit with Amgen; and increased expenses related to our operation as a public company. Additionally, our decision to postpone construction of a dedicated pilot manufacturing facility resulted in the write-off of design and engineering costs totaling $1.6 million in 2002.

 

Noncash stock-based compensation expense.    Noncash stock-based compensation expense increased by $3.7 million from $3.5 million in 2001 to $7.2 million in 2002. The increase resulted from the granting of options during the second half of 2001 and the beginning of 2002 with estimated fair values exceeding the exercise prices of the options.

 

Other income (expense).    Other income (expense) increased by $0.2 million from $7.2 million in 2001 to $7.4 million in 2002. The increase resulted from recognition of $0.2 million of gain on the sale leaseback transaction. Although our average cash invested in 2002 was greater than in the comparable period in 2001, the average interest rate earned on our investments in 2002 was lower than the average interest rate in 2001.

Table of Contents

Benefit (provision) for income taxes.    The income tax benefit in 2001 of $0.1 million represents the final payment according to the tax sharing agreement we entered into with Novo Nordisk prior to our separation. No additional income tax benefit was recognized in either 2001 or 2002 due to the uncertainty of realization.

 

Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000

 

Revenues.    Revenues decreased by $14.7 million, from $32.5 million in 2000 to $17.8 million in 2001. This decrease was attributable to a one-time royalty payment of $15.2 million from Novo Nordisk received in March 2000, which was recorded as revenue in the first quarter of 2000 when the amount was determined and collectibility was probable. Additionally, $5.0 million of NovoSeven royalties were earned in 2000 prior to the assignment of our related rights to Novo Nordisk. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the amount of option fee revenues earned under our agreement with Novo Nordisk.

 

Research and development expenses.    Research and development expenses, exclusive of noncash stock-based compensation expense of $2.1 million in 2001, decreased by $1.2 million, from $49.3 million in 2000 to $48.1 million in 2001. This decrease was due primarily to reduced expenses related to discovery research collaborations and database subscriptions. We also introduced cost awareness programs related to consumables, resulting in decreases in spending. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in costs associated with patenting activities and the addition of employees devoted to research and development.

 

General and administrative expenses.    General and administrative expenses, exclusive of noncash stock-based compensation expense of $1.4 million in 2001, decreased by $1.6 million from $12.1 million in 2000 to $10.5 million in 2001. This decrease was due primarily to changes in the value of outstanding Novo Nordisk stock appreciation rights previously granted to administrative personnel, which resulted in a decrease in compensation expense of $1.1 million. As of December 31, 2000, all of these rights had been exercised and none remained outstanding. The decrease was also due to the termination of fees associated with administrative services provided by Novo Nordisk and a reduction in state and city taxes.

 

Noncash stock-based compensation expense.    Noncash stock-based compensation expense was $3.5 million in 2001; none was recorded in 2000. The 2001 expense resulted from the granting of stock options in 2001 with estimated fair values exceeding the exercise prices of the options.

 

Other income (expense).    Other income (expense) increased by $2.8 million from $4.4 million in 2000 to $7.2 million in 2001. This increase was due primarily to an increase in interest income from $5.4 million in 2000 to $7.2 million in 2001. The increase in interest income resulted from higher average balances of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in 2001, reflecting the net proceeds of $142.5 million from the private equity financing completed in November 2000. The increase in other income was also due to a decrease in interest expense of $0.8 million. We incurred this interest on various loans from Novo Nordisk, which were fully repaid by the end of 2000.

 

Benefit (provision) for income taxes.    The income tax provision in 2000 was $5.9 million, which reflects a valuation allowance for our cumulative net deferred tax assets partially offset by the benefit from our net operating loss for the period from January 1, 2000 through November 9, 2000, the date of separation from Novo Nordisk. The income tax benefit in 2001 of $0.1 million represents the final payment according to the tax sharing agreement we entered into with Novo Nordisk prior to our separation. No additional income tax benefit was recognized in 2001 due to the uncertainty of realization.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Over the three years ended December 31, 2002, our operations were funded by:

 

    proceeds of $90.1 million from the assignment to Novo Nordisk of patents and other rights relating to NovoSeven and NovoRapid;

 

38


Table of Contents

 

    net proceeds of $142.5 million from our November 2000 private equity financing;

 

    net proceeds of $110.7 million from our initial public offering in February 2002;

 

    net proceeds of $50.5 million from the sale and leaseback transaction completed in October 2002;

 

    revenues earned from royalties, option fees, license fees and milestone payments; and

 

    investment income.

 

As of December 31, 2002, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $285.4 million, which increased from $147.1 million as of December 31, 2001. Our cash reserves are held in a variety of investment-grade, fixed-income securities, including corporate bonds, commercial paper and money market instruments.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $38.0 million in 2000, $18.9 million in 2001 and $11.8 million in 2002. Net cash used in operating activities in 2000 was higher than our net loss of $30.4 million due to an income tax payment of $31.5 million to Novo Nordisk partially offset by non-cash reconciling items related to a deferred tax valuation allowance, depreciation and amortization expense, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash used in operating activities for each of the years 2001 and 2002 was less than our net loss due to non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense, and revenues received but deferred to future periods. We expect to continue the trend of using cash to fund our operating activities in the future. This use of cash is expected to increase over time as we expand our research and development activities and move product candidates into and through clinical trials.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $5.6 million in 2000, $117.7 million in 2001 and $80.3 million in 2002. Net cash used in investing activities in 2000 consisted primarily of capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities in 2001 included $109.6 million for purchases of short-term investments, net of proceeds from sales and maturities, and $8.1 million for capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities in 2002 included $120.9 million for purchases of short-term investments, net of proceeds from sales and maturities, and $9.9 million for capital expenditures, partially offset by the receipt of $50.5 million of net proceeds from the completion of the sale leaseback transaction, which is described below. In October 2002, pursuant to an earlier commitment, we purchased the final parcel of land originally intended for the construction of a pilot manufacturing facility. Earlier in 2002 we decided to defer the construction of this facility to an undetermined date in the future. The acquired land is being held for future expansion.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $196.9 million in 2000, $28,000 in 2001 and $111.3 million in 2002. Financing activities in 2000 included the receipt of net proceeds of $142.5 million from the private equity financing completed in November 2000 and the receipt of $90.1 million for the assignment to Novo Nordisk of patents and other rights relating to Factor VII and insulin analogues, offset by a payment of $35.7 million to Novo Nordisk to purchase rights to certain intellectual property. Financing activities in 2002 included the net proceeds of $110.7 million from the completion of our initial public offering and $0.6 million of net proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

 

On October 4, 2002, we completed a sale and leaseback transaction involving our headquarter buildings located in Seattle, Washington. The three buildings were sold for a total purchase price of $52.3 million. Simultaneously, we agreed to lease the buildings from the purchaser for a period of 15 years, subject to four five-year renewal options. Net proceeds from this transaction amounted to $50.5 million and a gain on the sale of $14.4 million will be deferred and will be recognized ratably over the initial lease term. The initial rental payment of $5.1 million per year will increase by 3.5% each year during the initial term. We will recognize rent expense of $6.6 million per year, which is the average annual rent over the initial lease term. We have retained an option to expand one of the leased buildings. Planning is underway to pursue this option in 2003. If this expansion project is pursued, we expect the project to cost approximately $26 million, including all related equipment costs. The purchaser has agreed to finance a substantial portion of these costs. To date, we have made no material financial commitments related to the facility expansion.

We expect to incur substantial costs as we continue to expand our research and development programs, particularly as we move product candidates into clinical trials. We expect these expenditures to increase over the next several years. Our plans include the internal development of selected product candidates and the co-development of product candidates with collaborators where we would assume a percentage of the overall product development costs. We believe that our existing cash resources, including the net proceeds of $50.5 million from the sale leaseback transaction completed in October 2002, will provide sufficient funding to support our operations for at least the next three years. If we are successful in completing additional collaborative development transactions, which would generate both revenues and cost reductions, we believe that our cash resources will fund our programs for at least four years. If, at any time, our prospects for financing these programs decline, we may decide to reduce our ongoing investment in our development programs. We could reduce our investment by discontinuing our funding under existing co-development arrangements, establishing new co-development arrangements for other product candidates to provide additional funding sources or out-licensing product candidates that we might otherwise develop internally. Additionally, we could consider delaying or discontinuing development of product candidates to reduce the level of our related expenditures.

 

Our long-term capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on several factors, many of which may not be in our control, including:

 

    the costs involved in filing, prosecuting, enforcing and defending patent claims;

 

    the results of research and development programs;

 

    cash flows under existing and potential future arrangements with licensees, collaborators and other parties; and

 

    the costs associated with the expansion of our facilities.

 

Over the next several years we will need to seek additional funding through public or private financings, including equity financings, and through other arrangements, including collaborative arrangements. Poor financial results, unanticipated expenses or unanticipated opportunities that require financial commitments could give rise to additional financing requirements sooner than we expect. However, financing may be unavailable when we need it or may not be available on acceptable terms. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our existing shareholders would be reduced, and these securities could have rights superior to those of our common stock. If we are unable to raise additional funds when we need them, we could be required to delay, scale back or eliminate expenditures for some of our development programs or expansion plans, or grant rights to third parties to develop and market product candidates that we would prefer to develop and market internally, with license terms that are not favorable to us.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our critical accounting policies are as follows:

 

Revenue Recognition

 

To date, our revenue has been generated primarily from three different sources: option fees, product royalties and license and milestone fees.

 

Option fees—Novo Nordisk has been granted an option to obtain an exclusive license to an unlimited number of proteins discovered after August 1995 that modulate insulin producing beta cells and for up to the greater of eight or 25% of our protein candidates other than those related to beta cells over a period of four years beginning November 10, 2000. In return, we are entitled to receive four annual payments of $7.5 million, the first of which was received in November 2000. Novo Nordisk may elect to extend the agreement for a period of two additional years, with the right to license up to four more protein candidates in return for continuing to pay us the $7.5 million annual payments. Upon exercise of an option by Novo Nordisk, we will receive an up-front license fee, the amount of which is dependent on the stage of the product candidate licensed. Additionally, Novo Nordisk will be obligated to make payments upon the achievement of predefined development milestones and to pay royalties on sales of resulting products. Each of the $7.5 million option payments is being recognized ratably over the twelve months following receipt.

 

Product royalties—We earn royalties on several products marketed and sold by Novo Nordisk and other companies. Royalty reports are received within 30 to 60 days after the end of each quarter. We record estimates at the end of each quarter based on historical sales information. Adjustments are made in the following quarter reflecting the difference between our estimate and actual reported royalties.

 

License and milestone fees—We enter into various licensing agreements that generate up-front payments with subsequent milestone payments earned based on the completion of development milestones. We exercise our best judgment in determining the period over which we have continuing commitments to perform under the agreements. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over this period, which has ranged in duration from six months to ten years. For certain license agreements, which require no performance on our part, license fee revenue has been recognized immediately upon execution of the agreement. Revenue from milestone payments is recognized when the milestone is achieved and amounts are due and payable.

 

Stock based compensation

 

As permitted by the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (SFAS 123), we have elected to follow Accounting Principles Board No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), in accounting for employee stock option grants and apply the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123 to account for our stock option plans. Under APB 25, compensation expense is based on the excess, if any, of the estimated fair value of our stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the option. We exercised our judgment in determining the fair value of our stock with share prices varying from $9.09 to $15.11 for options granted during 2001 through January 2002. Deferred compensation is amortized over the vesting period of the individual options, using the straight-line method.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143), which establishes requirements for the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS 143 on our financial statements and will adopt the standard the first quarter of fiscal 2003.

 

41


Table of Contents

 

In 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment to FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS 145). SFAS 145 eliminates the requirement in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 4 (SFAS 4) that gains and losses from the extinguishments of debt be aggregated and classified as extraordinary items, net of the related income tax. The rescission of SFAS 4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. We do not expect that the rescission of SFAS 4 will have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 requires the recognition of such costs when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The provisions of SFAS 146 are to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) finalized its tentative consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-21 (EITF 00-21), Revenue Arrangements With Multiple Deliverables, which provides guidance on the timing and method of revenue recognition for sales agreements that include delivery of more than one product or service. EITF 00-21 is effective prospectively for arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. We are currently assessing the impact of EITF 00-21 on our financial statements and will adopt the new guidance prospectively beginning in the first quarter of 2004.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45). FIN 45 expands on the accounting guidance of SFAS 5, 57 and 107 and incorporates without change the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 34. FIN 45 provides guidance for the initial recognition and measurement, applicable prospectively to all guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, and disclosure requirements effective for financial statements of interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2002. Our December 2002 financial statements include the disclosures required by FIN 45. Adoption of this interpretation is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 (SFAS 148). This Statement amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. This statement requires that companies having a year-end after December 15, 2002 follow the prescribed format and provide the additional disclosures in their annual reports. Our financial statements include the disclosures required by SFAS 148.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to certain entities in which equity investors do not have (i) the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (ii) sufficient at-risk equity. FIN 46 applies to a broad range of unconsolidated investee entities (e.g. joint ventures, partnerships and cost basis investments) and, effective for financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, adds certain disclosure requirements. We are currently assessing the impact of FIN 46 on our financial statements.

Item 7A.    Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Our exposure to market risk is limited to interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of United States interest rates, particularly because the majority of our investments are in short-term debt securities. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive without significantly increasing risk. To minimize risk, we maintain our portfolio of cash, cash equivalents and short-term and restricted investments in a variety of interest-bearing instruments, including United States government and agency securities, high-grade United States corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, commercial paper and money market funds. Due to the nature of our short-term investments, we believe that we are not subject to any material market risk exposure. We do not have any foreign currency exposure, nor do we hold derivative financial instruments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

 

To the Board of Directors

and Shareholders of

ZymoGenetics, Inc.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of operations, of changes in mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock and shareholders’ equity (deficit) and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ZymoGenetics, Inc. at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

ZymoGenetics, Inc. is related to a group of affiliated companies and, as disclosed in the financial statements, has extensive transactions and relationships with members of the group.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

1.    Organization and summary of significant accounting policies

 

Nature of operations

 

ZymoGenetics, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the state of Washington in June 1981 and operated independently until it was acquired in August 1988 by Novo Nordisk North America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Novo Nordisk A/S (Novo Nordisk). Effective November 9, 2000, the Company became independent from Novo Nordisk upon completion of a private placement of Series B mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock with an investor consortium. On February 1, 2002, the Company completed an initial public offering of common stock, at which time all Series A and B mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock held by Novo Nordisk was converted to common stock. As of December 31, 2002, Novo Nordisk’s ownership percentage was 47.50%.

 

As an independent biopharmaceutical company, the Company is focused on the discovery and development of protein therapeutics for the prevention or treatment of significant human diseases. The Company has generated a broad pipeline of proprietary product candidates and intends to commercialize them through internal development, collaborations with biopharmaceutical partners or out-licensing of patents.

 

Over the next several years the Company will need to seek additional funding through public or private financings, including equity financings, and through other arrangements, including collaborative arrangements. Poor financial results, unanticipated expenses or unanticipated opportunities that require financial commitments could give rise to additional financing requirements. However, financing may be unavailable when required or may not be available on acceptable terms.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Short-term investments

 

Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity (deficit). Interest on securities classified as available-for-sale is included in interest income. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization is included in interest income. Realized gains and losses are included in other income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to their relative short maturities.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Additions, betterments and improvements are capitalized and depreciated. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the assets and related depreciation is eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the results of operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which includes five years for furniture and lab equipment, ten years for pilot plant equipment and 40 years for buildings. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

ZYMOGENETICS, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

 

Leasehold improvements are amortized evenly over either their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. At December 31, 2002, the Company amortized its leasehold improvements over ten and fifteen year periods.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company periodically determines whether any property and equipment have been impaired. While the Company’s current operating and cash flow losses are indicators of impairment, the Company believes the future cash flows to be received from the long-lived assets will exceed the assets’ carrying value, and accordingly, the Company has not recognized any impairment losses through December 31, 2002.

 

Patents and licensing agreements

 

It is the Company’s practice to seek patent protection on processes and products in various countries. All patent related costs are expensed as incurred, as recoverability of such expenditures is uncertain.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenues from royalties are received from related and third parties for sales of products that include technology developed by the Company. Revenues are recognized when due and amounts are considered collectible.

 

Revenues from license fees, option fees and up-front payments, which are received in connection with other rights or services that represent continuing obligations of the Company, are recognized systematically over the period that the fees or payments are earned. Revenues from milestone payments representing completion of separate and substantive earnings processes are recognized when the milestone is achieved and amounts are due and payable.

 

In December 2002, the Company signed an agreement granting Amgen, Inc., Immunex Corporation and Wyeth a license to the Company’s Ig-fusion protein patents. As a result of this agreement, the Company, Immunex and Amgen have terminated the patent infringement lawsuit filed by the Company in March 2002 against Immunex Corporation (now owned by Amgen). The Company received a one-time lump sum payment, which was recorded as license fee revenue in 2002.

 

Research and development costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company records a provision for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109), which utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the period of the deferred tax assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be recovered.

 

Through November 9, 2000, the Company was included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Novo Nordisk. A provision for income taxes was made in accordance with a tax sharing agreement between the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Company and Novo Nordisk that requires a “separate company” basis, allocating taxes to each party as if it were a separate taxpayer. Subsequent to November 9, 2000, the Company files its income tax return as a stand-alone taxpayer.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

As permitted by the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (SFAS 123), the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), in accounting for its employee stock option grants and apply the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123 with respect to its stock option plan. Under APB 25, compensation expense is based on the excess, if any, of the estimated fair value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the option. Deferred compensation is being amortized over the vesting period of the underlying individual options, using the straight-line method.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards for each of the years ended December 31:

Other comprehensive loss

 

Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and unrealized gains and losses on short-term investments.

 

Use of 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; 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 from those estimates.

 

Loss per share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share are computed based on net loss available to common shareholders and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because they are antidilutive. Shares subject to repurchase have been excluded from the denominator for both the basic and diluted computations.

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143), which establishes requirements for the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 143 on its financial statements and will adopt the standard the first quarter of fiscal 2003.

 

In 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment to FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS 145). SFAS 145 eliminates the requirement in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 4, (SFAS 4) that gains and losses from the extinguishments of debt be aggregated and classified as extraordinary items, net of the related income tax. The rescission of SFAS 4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company does not expect that the rescission of SFAS 4 will have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 requires the recognition of such costs when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The provisions of SFAS 146 are to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

 

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) finalized its tentative consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements With Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21), which provides guidance on the timing and method of revenue recognition for sales agreements that include delivery of more than one product or service. EITF 00-21 is effective prospectively for arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF 00-21 on its financial statements and will adopt the new guidance prospectively beginning in the first quarter of 2004.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45). FIN 45 expands on the accounting guidance of FASB No. 5, 57 and 107 and incorporates without change the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 34. FIN 45 provides guidance for the initial recognition and measurement, applicable prospectively to all guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, and disclosure requirements effective for financial statements of interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company’s December 2002 financial statements include the disclosures required by FIN 45. Adoption of this interpretation is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 (SFAS 148). This Statement amends SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. This statement requires that companies having a year-end after December 15, 2002 follow the prescribed format and provide the additional disclosures in their annual reports. The Company’s financial statements include the disclosures required by SFAS 148.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to certain entities in which equity investors do not have (i) the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (ii) sufficient at-risk equity. FIN 46 applies to a broad range of unconsolidated investee entities (e.g. joint ventures, partnerships and cost basis investments) and, effective for financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, adds certain disclosure requirements. The Company is currently assessing the effect of the adoption of FIN 46 on its financial position and results of operations.

5.    Transactions and accounts with related parties

 

Novo Nordisk has been granted an option to obtain an exclusive license to an unlimited number of proteins discovered after August 1995 that modulate insulin producing beta cells and for up to the greater of eight or 25% of the Company’s protein candidates other than those related to beta cells over a period of four years beginning November 10, 2000. In return, the Company is entitled to receive four annual payments of $7.5 million, the first of which was received in November 2000. The option payments are being recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Novo Nordisk may elect to extend the agreement for a period of two additional years, with the right to license up to four more protein candidates in return for continuing the $7.5 million annual payments to the Company. Upon exercise of an option by Novo Nordisk, the Company will receive an up-front license fee, the amount of which is dependent on the stage of the product candidate licensed. Additionally, Novo Nordisk will be obligated to make payments upon the achievement of predefined development milestones and to pay royalties on sales of resulting products.

 

During 2000, Novo Nordisk paid approximately $90.1 million to the Company, $76.4 million of which was in return for assignment of all rights and obligations with respect to NovoSeven (Factor VII) and $13.7 million for the grant of a perpetual license to the technology relating to analogues of human insulin, including the technology underlying Novo Nordisk’s product, NovoRapid. Also, the Company paid $35.7 million to Novo Nordisk to purchase its rights outside the United States to the Company’s portfolio of patents, patent applications and related intellectual property that had been developed pursuant to the research and development agreement described above. Concurrently, Novo Nordisk contributed to the Company the rights to this intellectual property in the United States. Because these transactions were consummated when the Company was controlled by Novo Nordisk, they were recorded as capital transactions. On August 4, 2000, the Company entered into a loan in the amount of $35.7 million with Novo Nordisk to fund the purchase of the intellectual property described above. The loan accrued interest of 6.94% per annum and, together with the principal, was paid in full on October 13, 2000. Various other loans were arranged with Novo Nordisk with annual interest rates ranging from 6.82% to 6.87% and with full repayment occurring within seven days of origination. There were no loan obligations due to Novo Nordisk as of December 31, 2002 or 2001.

 

The Company earns royalties on several products marketed and sold by Novo Nordisk, including Novolin (recombinant insulin) and GlucaGen (recombinant glucagon). Royalties are based on contracts predating the Company’s acquisition by Novo Nordisk. Minimum royalties were collected through 1999; however, an analysis completed in 2000 showed additional royalties due the Company for Novolin and GlucaGen of approximately $12.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively. These amounts plus an interest charge of approximately $2.3 million were recorded in 2000 when collectibility was assured, and the amounts were fixed and determinable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Including the aforementioned royalty amounts, the Company earned total royalties from Novo Nordisk of approximately $5.0 million, $5.2 million and $29.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. All amounts related to royalty agreements are settled quarterly.

 

During 2000, the Company entered into a cross-license agreement with Novo Nordisk which provides non-exclusive licenses to each party to conduct research using the other party’s intellectual property relating to Kunitz domains and Kunitz proteins. In addition, the Company has entered into other cross-licensing agreements with Novo Nordisk relating to certain other technologies.

 

On February 1, 2002, the Company completed its initial public offering. Upon the completion of the initial public offering each share of Series A and Series B mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock held by Novo Nordisk, converted to 3.6 shares of non-voting and voting common stock, respectively. Effective June 24, 2002, all shares of non-voting common stock were converted into the same number of shares of voting common stock.

 

In December 2002, the Company completed a collaborative agreement with Novo Nordisk for the preclinical development of Interleukin 21. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company and Novo Nordisk will collaborate on all research and development activities leading up to the filing of an Investigational New Drug application (IND) in the United States. Upon signing, Novo Nordisk paid $4.0 million to the Company as reimbursement of a portion of the Company’s costs incurred prior to the agreement. This amount has been deferred and will be recognized as revenue ratably over the estimated period leading to the IND filing. Novo Nordisk also agreed to pay the Company up to $7.0 million for its 50% share of Interleukin 21 development costs incurred from the date of the agreement through the filing of the IND. This amount will be recorded as an offset to development costs.

 

Amounts receivable from Novo Nordisk and related entities were approximately $389,000 and $449,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

6.    Novo Nordisk stock appreciation rights

 

In 1988, the Company adopted a plan providing that officers and other key employees be granted rights to the appreciation in the market value of a stated number of shares of common stock of Novo Nordisk listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The rights became exercisable over three- and five-year periods and had a life of ten years. The exercise price of the rights ranged from 85% to 90% of Novo Nordisk’s common stock price on the date of the grant. Expenses were charged or credited for the aggregate appreciation or depreciation of the rights during each reporting period. Changes in the value of outstanding rights resulted in compensation expense of approximately $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. All rights under this plan were fulfilled as of December 31, 2000.

 

7.    Retirement plans

 

Defined contribution

 

The Company has established a 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all of its employees. The plan provides for matching and discretionary contributions by the Company. Such contributions were approximately $2.1 million, $1.7 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Deferred compensation plan

 

The Company has a Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP) for key employees. Eligible plan participants are designated by the Company’s board of directors. The DCP allows participants to defer up to 15% of their annual compensation and up to 100% of any bonus. The DCP provides for discretionary contributions by the Company; such contributions were $96,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. There were no such contributions in 2002 and 2001. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, approximately $2.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, was deferred under the DCP and was recorded both as a noncurrent asset and a noncurrent liability.

 

8.    Income taxes

 

At December 31, 2002, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $52.5 million, a research and development tax credit carryforward of $15.0 million, a rehabilitation tax credit carryforward of $1.5 million and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $1.2 million. The carryforwards are available to offset future tax liabilities. The net operating losses, research and development tax credit and rehabilitation tax credit will expire in the years 2008 to 2022. The alternative minimum tax credit will carry forward indefinitely. The Company completed an initial public offering on February 1, 2002 and pursuant to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382 the offering may qualify as a change in ownership. Accordingly, a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards may be limited.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. The Company has provided a valuation allowance at December 31, 2002 and 2001 to offset the excess of deferred tax assets over the deferred tax liabilities, due to the Company’s status as a stand-alone taxpayer and the uncertainty of realizing the benefits of the net deferred tax asset.

On October 20, 2000, the Company entered into a tax sharing agreement with Novo Nordisk. The agreement states that all research and development tax credit carryforwards generated by the Company prior to November 9, 2000 used by the Company to generate a tax benefit in future periods shall be reimbursed to Novo Nordisk. The total amount paid shall not exceed $12 million.

 

Realization of the deferred tax asset associated with intellectual property purchased from Novo Nordisk will be reflected as increases in shareholders’ equity and will not be reflected as tax benefits in the statement of operations.

The Company leases certain office and laboratory space, some of which has been subleased to a third party.

 

In November 2001, the Company entered into a lease agreement for additional office space. The lease began on February 1, 2002. The lease term is 10 years with options to renew for up to two additional terms of five years each. Annual lease payments will range from $0.4 million to $0.5 million. The lease also provides the Company a right of first refusal through February 1, 2004 to lease additional space in the building.

 

In October 2002, the Company completed a sale and leaseback transaction involving its headquarter buildings located in Seattle, Washington. The three buildings were sold for a total purchase price of $52.3 million. Net proceeds from this transaction amounted to $50.5 million, and a gain of $14.4 million has been deferred and will be recognized ratably over the lease term. Simultaneously, the Company agreed to lease the buildings from the purchaser for a period of 15 years, subject to four five-year renewal options. The Company has provided the lessor a security deposit in the form of pledged securities equal to two months base rent. The Company has accounted for this transaction as a sale and leaseback in accordance with the criteria of SFAS 98. The lease of the building has been classified as an operating lease in accordance with SFAS 13. The initial rental payment of $5.1 million per year will increase by 3.5% each year during the term. The Company will recognize rent expense of $6.6 million per year, which is the average annual rent over the initial lease term. Rent for the renewal terms will be the greater of fair market value or 90% of the rent for the last year prior to renewal. The Company has retained an option to expand one of the leased buildings. Planning is underway to pursue this option in 2003. If this expansion project is pursued, it is expected to cost approximately $26 million, including all related equipment costs. The purchaser has agreed to finance a substantial portion of these costs, in return for increased rent payments. To date, no material financial commitments have been made related to the facility expansion.

In addition to the above minimum rental payments, the Company may be obligated to lease additional office space. In such a case, the minimum rental payments under that lease could range from approximately $368,000 to $476,000 per year beginning February 2004 and ending January 2012.

 

Gross rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 was approximately $4.2 million, $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Cash received under the sublease agreements for the subleased office space was approximately $2.0 million, $2.0 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively.

 

Certain key employees have employment agreements with the Company providing certain severance benefits.

 

10.    Serono S.A. agreement

 

In August 2001, the Company entered into a collaborative development and marketing agreement with Ares Trading S.A. (Serono), a wholly owned subsidiary of Serono S.A. Under the agreement, the Company will collaborate with Serono to develop biopharmaceutical products based on two receptors, TACI and BCMA. Additionally, the Company could receive license fee and milestone payments of up to an aggregate of $52.5 million in connection with the development and approval of products. The Company will share research and development expenses worldwide, with the exception of Japan, where Serono will cover all expenses. The Company retains an option to co-promote products with Serono in North America while Serono will have exclusive rights to market products in the remainder of the world, for which the Company will receive royalties. The Company will have the option of discontinuing funding of research and development and commercialization costs, and forgoing its right to co-promote products in North America. If the Company chooses to discontinue funding, Serono would have exclusive marketing rights in North America, and the Company would receive a royalty on any sales in North America in lieu of sharing in the net sales, commercialization expenses and profits from the products. Serono will be responsible for manufacturing all products for both clinical trials and commercial sale. The Company has received a $7.5 million payment from Serono in 2001, which is being amortized over the estimated term of the development program, approximately nine years.

11.    Mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock

 

In November 2000, the Company issued 4,011,768 shares of Series B mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock to a group of investors at a price per share of $37.39, which provided proceeds to the Company of approximately $142.5 million, net of offering costs of approximately $7.5 million. In the same period, the Company declared a dividend on the outstanding common stock owned by Novo Nordisk, issuing 2,528,000 shares of Series A mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock. The holders of both Series A and B shares were entitled to receive a cumulative dividend of 8% per annum on the then current liquidation value. Each share of preferred stock was convertible into 3.6 shares of common stock.

 

On February 1, 2002, the Company completed its initial public offering, which resulted in the conversion of each share of Series A and Series B mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock to 3.6 shares of non-voting and voting common stock, respectively. Effective June 24, 2002, all outstanding shares of non-voting common stock were converted into the same number of shares of voting common stock.

 

12.    Shareholders’ equity (deficit)

 

The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 150,000,000 shares of no par value voting common stock, 30,000,000 shares of no par value non-voting common stock and 30,000,000 shares of no par value preferred stock. On January 9, 2002, the Company effected a 3.6-for-1 stock split of its common stock in the form of a stock dividend. All common stock share and per share amounts in the financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the stock split.

 

Common stock

 

At December 31, 2001, 23,543,159 shares of authorized common stock were reserved for issuance upon conversion of preferred stock. On February 1, 2002, the Company sold 10,000,000 shares of common stock in an initial public offering. Upon the completion of the initial public offering the 4,011,768 shares of Series B mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock converted to 14,442,359 shares of voting common stock, and the 2,528,000 shares of Series A mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock converted to 9,100,800 shares of non-voting common stock. Effective June 24, 2002, all shares of non-voting common stock were converted into the same number of shares of voting common stock.

 

Stock options

 

In March 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2000 Plan). Upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering, in February 2002, the 2000 Plan was suspended and the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2001 Plan) became effective. Both plans provide for the issuance of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to employees, directors, consultants and other independent contractors who provide services to the Company. The Company’s board of directors is responsible for administration of the Plans and determines the term of each option, exercise price and the vesting terms. Options generally vest over a four-year period and expire ten years from the date of grant. The 2001 Plan provides for an annual increase effective the first day of each year equal to the least of (i) 2,700,000 shares; (ii) 5% of the outstanding common stock as of the end of the Company’s preceding fiscal year; and (iii) a lesser amount as determined by the Board of Directors. The first annual increase under the 2001 Plan occurred upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering. Any shares from the 2000 Plan that are not actually issued shall continue to be available for issuance under the 2001 Plan. The Company has reserved a total of 9,423,180 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan, of which 676,431 are available for future grant at December 31, 2002. Certain board members were granted options to purchase 144,000 shares that are immediately exercisable. Options to purchase 93,464 shares have been granted to certain board members in 2002 that are exercisable as of the one-year anniversary from the grant date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

 

On September 14, 2001, the Company made loans to certain executives totaling $725,000, pursuant to promissory notes in connection with the purchase of shares of common stock upon the exercise of non-qualified stock options by the executives. The loans bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable federal rate. This interest is nonrefundable and nonprepayable. All outstanding principal on the notes is payable on the three-year anniversary of the notes, with accrued interest payable annually on each anniversary of the notes. Each of these notes is collateralized by a pledge of the shares of common stock issued in connection with the extension of the loan. Each of the executives’ personal liability is limited to 50% of the original principal amount of the note and 100% of the accrued interest and costs, including attorney’s fees, due under the note.

EX-10.5 3 dex105.txt EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT W/ J. JOHNSON, DATED 4/30/01 Exhibit 10.5 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT, effective April 30, 2001, is between ZymoGenetics, Inc., a Washington corporation ("Company") and James A. Johnson ("Executive"). 1. Employment. Company will employ Executive and Executive will accept employment as Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, of the Company. Executive accepts employment upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and for the period (hereinafter called the "Term of Employment") specified in Section 3 below. 2. Duties. Executive shall, during the Term of Employment, serve the Company under the direction of the President of the Company. Executive shall perform the duties of his position faithfully, diligently and competently and to the best of his ability, and shall devote his full business time to his employment. Executive shall perform such other duties as are assigned to him by the President or the Board of Directors of the Company. Executive shall not engage in any other business activity (except the management of personal investments which in the aggregate do not interfere with the performance of Executive's duties) without first obtaining the written consent of Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. 3. Term of Employment; Termination. Executive's Term of Employment shall be two years from the date of this Agreement, unless extended or earlier terminated as provided below. (a) Termination or Extension of Term of Employment By Company The Company shall employ Executive, for a period commencing on the date hereof and terminating as follows: (i) Two years from the date hereof, if at least thirty (30) days prior to such date either the Company or Executive has, at its election, notified the other in writing that this Agreement shall terminate on such date. If notice of termination is not given, this Agreement shall be deemed to extend from year to year. It can then be terminated by written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the annual renewal date. (ii) With or without "Cause" (as defined below), Company may terminate the employment of Executive at any time upon giving "Notice of Termination" (as defined below). (b) By Executive Executive may terminate his employment at any time, for any reason, upon giving Notice of Termination. (c) Automatic Termination This Agreement and Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate automatically upon the death or total disability of Executive. The term "total disability" as used herein shall mean Executive's inability to perform the duties set forth in paragraph 1 hereof for a period or periods aggregating ninety (90) calendar days in any 12-month period as a result of physical or mental illness, loss of legal capacity or any other cause beyond Executive's control, unless Executive is granted a leave of absence by the Board of Directors of Company. Executive and Company hereby acknowledge that Executive's ability to perform the duties specified in paragraph 2 hereof is of the essence of this Agreement. Termination hereunder shall be deemed to be effective (a) at the end of the calendar month in which Executive's death occurs or (b) immediately upon a determination by the Board of Directors of Company of Executive's total disability, as defined herein. (d) Notice The term "Notice of Termination" shall mean at least thirty (30) days' written notice of termination, by either party, of Executive's employment, during which period Executive's employment and performance of services will continue; provided, however, that Company may, upon notice to Executive and without reducing Executive's compensation during such period, excuse Executive from any or all of his duties during such period. Such a reduction in duties shall not constitute "good reason" for voluntary termination so as to trigger termination payments in accordance with subparagraph 4.2. The effective date of the termination (the "Termination Date") of Executive's employment hiseunder shall be the date on which such 30-day period expires. 4. Termination Payments In the event of termination of the employment of Executive, all compensation and benefits set forth in this Agreement shall terminate except as specifically provided in this paragraph 4: 4.1 Termination by Company (a) Upon termination by Company, Company shall pay Executive any unpaid annual base salary which has accrued for services already performed as of the Termination Date, plus any accrued, but unused, vacation. -2- (b) If Company terminates Executive's employment without Cause, as defined below, Executive shall be entitled to receive termination payments equal to twelve (12) months annual base salary and Company payments for Executive's medical and dental insurance coverage under COBRA for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination. The termination payments shall be calculated according to Executive's base salary as of the date of Notice of Termination and the termination payments will be paid semi-monthly in equal parts in accordance with the same time schedule that Company or a "Successor Company" (as defined in the Stock Option Agreement and incorporated by reference herein) makes its customary payroll. Company or a Successor Company may deduct customary withholdings including social security, federal and state income taxes, and state disability insurance from these severance payments; however, any and all such obligations shall be Executive's responsibility. Company will issue and file appropriate Form 1099 or similar tax documents in connection with any termination payments. The termination payments described in this paragraph are expressly contingent upon Executive's full compliance with the terms of his Employee Inventions and Proprietary Information Agreement with Company (the "Inventions Agreement"), a copy of which is attached hereto. In the event Executive were to materially breach this Inventions Agreement, his right to any termination payments under this paragraph shall be extinguished, Company (and any Successor Company) shall cease payments, and Executive shall immediately return to Company or to any Successor Company any severance payments already made. If Executive is terminated by either Company or any Successor Company for Cause, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any of the foregoing benefits, other than those set forth in clause (a) above. 4.2 Termination by Executive In the case of the termination of Executive's employment by Executive for "good reason," as defined below, Executive shall be entitled to the termination payments as set forth in clauses 4.1(a) and (b). In the case of termination of Executive's employment by Executive for any other reason, Executive shall not be entitled to any termination payments or accelerated vesting benefit, other than as set forth in clause 4.1(a), above. 4.3 Termination as a Result of Death or Total Disability In the event of termination of Executive's employment pursuant to subparagraph 3(c), Executive or his estate shall be paid the compensation set forth in clause 4.1(a) and shall not be entitled to any of the benefits under clauses 4.1(b). -3- 4.4 "Good Reason" "Good reason" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events, without the consent of the Executive: a) a demotion or other material reduction in the nature or status of Executive's responsibilities; provided, however, that a change in the person or office to which Executive reports, without a corresponding reduction in duties, status and responsibilities, shall not constitute "good reason;" b) a non-voluntary reduction in the Executive's annual base salary; c) requirement by a Successor Company that the Executive relocate his principal place of employment to a location that is more than 50 miles from the principal place of employment where Executive was employed; or d) the failure of Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any Successor Company to assume and perform the obligations under this Agreement. 4.5 Cause Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to termination being with or without Cause, "Cause" shall include, without limitation, the occurrence of one or more of the following events: a) willful misconduct, insubordination, or dishonesty in the performance of Executive's duties or other knowing and material violation of Company's or a Successor Company's policies and procedures in effect from time to time which results in a material adverse effect on Company or a Successor Company; b) willful actions (or intentional failures to act) in bad faith by Executive with respect to Company or a Successor Company that materially impair Company's or a Successor Company's business, goodwill or reputation; c) conviction of Executive of a felony involving an act of dishonesty, moral turpitude, deceit or fraud, or the commission of acts that could reasonably be expected to result in such a conviction; or d) any material violation by Executive of Executive's Inventions Agreement with Company. -4- 5. Compensation and Fringe Benefits. (a) The Company shall, during the Term of Employment, pay to the Executive as compensation for the performance of his duties and obligations a salary of $240,000 per annum. This compensation is subject to annual review and adjustment, as appropriate in the judgment of the Company. The compensation payable pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be payable in equal semi-monthly installments on the last day of each such pay period. (b) The Executive shall be enrolled and participate in any retirement, group insurance and other fringe benefit plans and arrangements which are applicable to the similarly situated personnel of the Company and in effect from time to time, if the Executive is eligible therefor, in each case in accordance with and subject to the provisions thereof. (c) Stock Options (i) Executive has been granted a ten-year stock option under the Company's Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, dated August 23, 2000, which allows Executive to purchase 80,000 shares of the Company's common stock. (ii) Executive shall be eligible to receive future periodic (i.e., non bonus-related) grants under the Company's stock incentive programs. (d) Executive will also receive the following executive perquisites for the duration of this contract: (i) Company-paid term life insurance policy in the amount of $200,000; and (ii) Company-paid use of either a laptop computer or personal computer, to be upgraded bi-annually at the time this contract is renewed; and (iii) Company-paid annual executive health physical, to be administered by a physician selected by the Company; and (iv) Company-paid expenses for a residential phone and cellular phone. (e) Upon the effective date of the Company's initial public offering, Executive shall earn a bonus, before taxes, of $50,000, to be paid by the Company as soon as practicable after such effective date. If Executive remains continuously and regularly employed with the Company (i.e., his employment has not been terminated, whether voluntarily or involuntarily) through the period ending one year from the -5- effective date of the Company's initial public offering, the Company shall pay Executive an additional bonus, before taxes, of $50,000, within ten (10) days after the end of such period. 6. Expenses. All travel and other reasonable expenses incident to the rendering of service by the Executive hereunder will be paid by the Company. If such expenses are paid in the first instance by the Executive, the Company will reimburse him upon presentation of proper expense accounts. Reimbursement requests, along with supporting documentation, should be submitted within sixty (60) days of incurring the expense. 7. Non-competition. (a) Upon termination of Executive's employment with the Company for any reason, and for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months after leaving his employment with the Company, Executive will not directly or indirectly work or otherwise engage in research, manufacture, sale or distribution of any product, method or matter: (i) For any business, whose commercial efforts are in competition with the products manufactured or marketed by the Company during Executive's employment with the Company or under research or development by the Company during Executive's employment with the Company (and on which the Company has expended at least $1,000,000); or (ii) For any research institution whose research efforts pertain to the same products manufactured or marketed by the Company during Executive's employment with the Company or under research or development by the Company during Executive's employment with the Company (and on which the Company has expended at least $1,000,000), unless the Executive is not involved in any manner in the design, conduct or supervision of such research efforts, or unless such research is being conducted solely for scientific and not for commercial purposes. The executive shall be deemed to be connected with a business if such business is carried on by partnership in which he is a general or limited partner, consultant or employee, or a corporation or association of which he is a shareholder, officer, director, employee, member, consultant or agent; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent the purchase or ownership by the Executive of shares of less than 1% of the outstanding shares in a publicly or privately held corporation. -6- Said twelve (12) months' period shall commence on the day on which the Executive actually leaves his employment with the Company, even if this date is prior to the expiration of any given notice of termination. (b) The Company's Board of Directors may, at its own discretion, by express or written consent, release the Executive from the restriction in paragraph 6(a). (c) For a period of one (1) year after the employment of the Executive is terminated for any reason, Executive will not directly or indirectly, either for Executive's account or as representative or agent for any other person, firm, corporation or entity, solicit the services of, or entice away, any executive of the Company, or the executive of any company affiliated with the Company. (d) In the event that Executive during said period described in paragraph 6(a) violates any of the Executive's obligations towards the Company, including but not limited to the Executive accepting a position with a competing enterprise or Executive violating terms of paragraph 6(c), payment of Severance or Salary Continuation shall cease automatically without notice, regardless of whether the Company takes legal action or otherwise tries to enforce its rights. The Company reserves all rights it may have under contract or law to relief or damages in addition to termination of the above-described payments. 8. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Executive and their respective heirs, legal or personal representatives, successors and assigns. 9. Rights of Assignment or Delegation. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and shall not be assignable. Company may assign its rights hereunder to (a) any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation, or other reorganization to which Company is a party or (b) any corporation, partnership, association, or other person to which Company may transfer all or substantially all of the assets in business of Company existing at such time. All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 10. Waiver. No delay or failure by any party in exercising, protecting or enforcing any of its rights, titles, interests, or remedies hereunder and no course of dealing or performance with respect thereto, shall constitute a waiver. The express waiver by a party of any right, title, interest, or remedy in a particular instance or circumstance shall not constitute a waiver in any other instance or circumstance. All rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive or any rights or remedies. -7- 11. Arbitration. Any controversies or claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be finally and fully settled by arbitration in the City of Seattle, Washington in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect (the "AAA Rules"), conducted by one arbitrator, mutually agreed upon by Company and Executive or chosen in accordance with the AAA Rules, except the parties thereto shall have any right to discovery that would be permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for a period of 90 days following the commencement of such arbitration and the arbitrator shall resolve any dispute which arises in connection with such discovery.

Each such amendment, modification, waiver, termination, or discharge shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No provision of this Agreement shall be varied, contradicted, or explained by any oral agreement, course of dealing or performance or any other matter not set forth in agreement in writing and signed by Company and Executive. 13.

Governing Law. This Agreement is made under and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Washington. 16. Severability.

Multiple Copies. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts of like tenor and effect, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(the "Company") under the Company's 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The following terms are intended to supplement, not alter or change, the provisions of the Plan, and in the event of any inconsistency between the terms contained herein and in the Plan, the Plan shall govern. All capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall be as defined in the Plan. 1. Eligibility Each director of the Company who is not otherwise an employee of the Company or any Related Company (an "Eligible Director") shall be eligible to receive grants under the Plan, as discussed below. 2. Initial Grants (a) Each Eligible Director who is first elected or appointed to the Board after the closing date of an underwritten initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock (the "IPO"), other than an Eligible Director elected or appointed pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Shareholders' Agreement dated as of November 10, 2000 among the Company and certain investors, shall automatically be granted as of the date of such initial election or appointment a Nonqualified Stock Option to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock calculated by dividing $250,000 by the Common Stock's Fair Market Value on the Grant Date (the "Initial Grant"). (b) Initial Grants shall vest and become exercisable at the next annual meeting of shareholders (the "Annual Meeting"), assuming continued service on the Board for such period; provided, however, that with respect to any Initial Grant made within five months before an Annual Meeting, the Option shall not become vested and exercisable until the second Annual Meeting after the date of such Initial Grant. 3. Annual Grants (a) Commencing with the first Annual Meeting following the closing of the Company's initial public offering and immediately following each year's Annual Meeting thereafter, each Eligible Director shall automatically receive a Nonqualified Stock Option to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock calculated by dividing $100,000 by the Common Stock's Fair Market Value on the Grant Date (each, an "Annual Grant"); provided that any Eligible Director who received an Initial Grant within five months before an Annual Meeting shall not receive an Annual Grant until immediately following the second Annual Meeting after the date of such Initial Grant. (b) Such Annual Grants shall fully vest and become exercisable on the next Annual Meeting, assuming continued service on the Board for such period. 4. Option Exercise Price The exercise price of an Option shall be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date. 5. Manner of Option Exercise An Option shall be exercised by giving the required notice to the Company, stating the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised, accompanied by payment in full for such Common Stock, which payment may be in whole or in part (a) in cash or check, (b) in shares of Common Stock, owned by the Eligible Director for at least six months (or any shorter period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company's earnings for financial reporting purposes) having a Fair Market Value on the day prior to the exercise date equal to the aggregate Option exercise price, or (c) if and so long as the Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act, by delivery of a properly executed exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker, to properly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price, all in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. 6. Term of Options Each Option shall expire ten years from the Grant Date thereof, but shall be subject to earlier termination as follows: (a) In the event that an Eligible Director ceases to be a director of the Company for any reason other than the death of the Eligible Director, the unvested portion of any Option granted to such Eligible Director shall terminate immediately and the vested portion of the Option may be exercised by the Eligible Director only within one year after the date he or she ceases to be a director of the Company or prior to the date on which the Option expires by its terms, whichever is earlier. (b) In the event of the death of an Eligible Director, the unvested portion of any Option granted to such Eligible Director shall automatically become fully vested and exercisable. The Option may be exercised only within one year after the date of death of the Eligible Director or prior to the date on which the Option expires by its terms, whichever is earlier, by the personal representative of the Eligible Director's estate, the person(s) to whom the Eligible Director's rights under the Option have passed by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution or the beneficiary designated pursuant to Section 11 of the Plan. 7. Company Transactions In the event of any Company Transaction, other than a Related Party Transaction, each Initial and Annual Grant that is at the time outstanding shall automatically accelerate so that each such grant shall, immediately prior to the specified effective date for the Company Transaction, become fully vested and exercisable. Such Options shall terminate and no longer be exercisable to the extent that they are not exercised prior to the Company Transaction. 8. Amendment The Board may amend the provisions contained herein in such respects as it deems advisable. Any such amendment shall not, without the consent of the Eligible Director, impair or diminish any rights of an Eligible Director or any rights of the Company under an Option. Provisions of the Plan (including any amendments) that were not discussed above, to the extent applicable to Eligible Directors shall continue to govern the terms and conditions of Options granted to Eligible Directors. 9. Effective Date The Program shall become effective on the closing of the Company's IPO.

The parties agree as follows: 1. PREMISES/LEASE 1.1 Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord on the terms contained herein all property purchased by Landlord from Tenant and located at 1201 Eastlake Avenue East, Seattle, Washington ("Premises"), including (Section 27.2) the land described on Exhibit A, together with the easements, rights and appurtenances thereto and the buildings and other improvements located thereon ("Improvements"); including the Fixed Equipment (Section 8.8) and excluding the Removable Equipment (Section 8.8). 1.2 Operating Lease. Landlord and Tenant stipulate that this Lease is a true lease and does not represent a financing arrangement. Each party shall reflect the transactions represented by this Lease in a manner consistent with "true lease" treatment rather than "financing" treatment in all applicable books, records and reports (including income tax filings). Tenant intends to record this Lease as an operating lease for SEC reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but failure to do so shall not be considered a default under this Lease. 1.3 Acceptance of Premises. As the prior owner of the Premises, Tenant designed and constructed substantial modifications to the Improvements on the Premises and has occupied the Improvements since completion of those modifications and is therefore completely familiar with the condition of the Improvements. By entering this Lease, Tenant is deemed to have accepted the Premises in its current condition, AS-IS and with all faults. To the extent necessary to comply with its obligations to maintain and repair the Premises, Tenant shall enforce the warranties and other obligations of contractors and suppliers for the original construction of the Premises and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in doing so, but Landlord shall have no other responsibility or liability for the design, construction or condition of Premises and makes no warranties with respect thereto and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all its reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses, including its attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with its cooperation. Landlord shall not be required to make any repairs or replacements of any kind whatsoever during the Term. Notwithstanding the sale of the Premises to Landlord, all warranties and guaranties regarding the development of the Premises remain with Tenant for the Term and any remaining warranties and guaranties will be deemed automatically transferred to Landlord upon termination of this Lease. 2. TERM 2.1 Initial Term. The "Initial Term" of this Lease shall be 15 years commencing on October 4, ("Commencement Date") and ending on October 3, 2017, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any provision hereof. Tenant and Landlord's affiliate are parties to the Earl Davie Building Lease (Section 15.2). If the Initial Term of the Earl Davie Building Lease is extended by operation of Section 24.11 of the Earl Davie Building Lease, then the Initial Term of this Lease will be extended to the same expiration date, and the parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease in the form of Exhibit I evidencing such extension. As used herein, "Term" shall mean the Initial Term and any Renewal Term (Section 2.2) which becomes effective hereunder. 2.2 Extensions. Provided that Tenant is not in default on exercise of a right to extend or on the commencement of the Renewal Term (unless such default is cured within any applicable cure period), 1 Tenant shall have the right to extend this Lease for 4 consecutive renewal terms (each, a "Renewal Term") of 5 years each, with at least 16 months prior written notice to Landlord. If Landlord does not receive such notice 16 months prior to the end of a current Term, Tenant's renewal rights shall lapse. The rights to extend the Lease for the Renewal Terms are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned, pledged or transferred to any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such rights may be assigned or transferred to Tenant's Affiliates (Section 13.2). 2.3 Rent For Renewal Terms. As of the commencement of each Renewal Term, the Base Rent (Section 3.1) shall be adjusted to the greater of (a) the fair market rental value of the Premises as of the commencement of the Renewal Term, or (b) 90% of the Base Rent applicable to the last year of the term prior to commencement of the applicable Renewal Term. Fair market rental value shall be the amount of rent which a well-informed tenant, willing, but not obliged to lease the Premises, would pay, and which a well-informed landlord, willing, but not obligated to lease, would accept, taking into consideration all uses to which the Premises is adapted and might in reason be applied, and the then market terms being offered in the Seattle metropolitan area (e.g. including Elliott Bay, the University District, Queen Anne/Interbay, Lake Union, Denny Triangle, etc.) for space reasonably comparable to the Premises. If, after bargaining in good faith for 30 days (the "Bargaining Period"), the parties have not reached agreement on the fair market rental value, it shall be established by binding arbitration in accordance with Section 2.4. Commencing at the start of the second year of each Renewal Term and continuing each year thereafter, the Renewal Term's Base Rent shall be increased by 3.5%. 2.4 Arbitration. The arbitration process outlined below must be commenced no more than 18 months before the first day of the ensuing Renewal Term and pursued in good faith. Each arbitrator shall be an MAI real estate appraiser with at least 7 years experience in appraising real property used for comparable "wet science" biological laboratory and research and development facilities or such similar uses to which the parties agree ("Arbitrator"). If the parties are able to reach agreement on a single Arbitrator within 10 days after the end of the Bargaining Period, that Arbitrator shall determine the fair market rental value. Otherwise, each party shall select its own Arbitrator and shall provide the name to the other party within 15 days following expiration of the Bargaining Period. The two Arbitrators shall meet within 20 days following their selection and attempt in good faith during such 20 days to reach agreement on the fair market rental value of the Premises. If the two Arbitrators are unable to agree, they shall jointly select a third Arbitrator. If they fail to either agree on the fair market rental value or appoint a third Arbitrator within 20 days following their appointments, the third Arbitrator shall be selected by the then Presiding Judge of King County Superior Court upon the request of either party. Within 10 days after the appointment of the third Arbitrator, the first two Arbitrators shall each submit in writing to the third Arbitrator the amount which they propose be established as the Renewal Term's Base Rent ("Submissions"). The Submissions shall not be disclosed by the third Arbitrator until the third Arbitrator has received both of the other Arbitrators' Submissions. Each Arbitrator may include in such Submissions any information which he/she deems relevant or helpful to the third Arbitrator in determining the fair market rental value of the Premises, and the third Arbitrator may not obtain, accept or consider any additional information in making its decision. The third Arbitrator's determination of the fair market rental value is strictly limited to selection, as the more reasonable approximation of the fair market rental value of the Premises, of the amount stated in one of the Submissions, and third Arbitrator may not select or declare any third number. The third Arbitrator's decision shall be made within 20 days after delivery of the Submissions, by a report in writing to each of the parties and in any event at least 12 1/2 months before the commencement of the Renewal Term. Each party shall pay the costs of its own Arbitrator and one-half of the single Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator's fee. If the Arbitrator's determination of fair market rental value is greater than 110% of the then Base Rent payable during the 12 months immediately preceding the applicable Renewal Term, Tenant may elect to rescind exercise of the option by written notice to Landlord given at least 12 months before the commencement of the Renewal Term. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.4, if during the arbitration period, Tenant and Landlord reach agreement on fair market rental value (independent of Arbitrator's findings), the arbitration shall be terminated and the determination of the parties shall govern. 2 3. RENT 3.1 Base Rent. Commencing on the Commencement Date, and continuing on the first of each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord $284,220.54 per month ("Base Rent"). Base Rent shall be remitted to the Landlord at its address stated for notices in this Lease as the same may be amended from time to time or to such other address required by Landlord in a written notice to Tenant and shall be due and payable on the first day of each month during the Term and tendered in cash. Base Rent for any partial month shall be prorated based on the number of days in the applicable calendar month. 3.2 Increases in Base Rent. Commencing one year after the Commencement Date and continuing annually thereafter, the Base Rent shall be increased by 3.5%. 3.3 Intentionally Omitted 3.4 Additional Rent. All amounts other than Base Rent due by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed "Additional Rent" and Landlord shall have all of the same remedies for Tenant's failure to pay Additional Rent as for failure to pay Base Rent. The term "Rent" shall mean the combined Base Rent and Additional Rent. Tenant's obligations to pay Rent are in the nature of independent covenants and all Rent shall be paid without demand, notice, abatement, reduction or offset, except that Additional Rent may be subject to demand or notice where provided in this Lease. 3.5 Late Fee. If any installment of Base Rent is not received by Landlord by the 5/th/ of the month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, a late charge equal to six percent (6%) on such overdue installment of Base Rent (the "Late Fee"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that pursuant to Section 15.2 below, Landlord will deliver notice to Tenant of any such delinquency and, not more than once each Lease Year, Landlord will waive the Late Fee if such delinquency is paid within three business days after Tenant's receipt of such notice. Tenant acknowledges that such late charge represents a reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur as a result of such late payment. 3.6 Fines/Penalties. Subject to Section 22, Tenant shall pay and discharge when due all other amounts and obligations which Tenant assumes or agrees to pay pursuant to this Lease. 3.7 Abatement of Rent. Except as expressly agreed upon in Sections 10 and 12 below, Tenant's obligations to pay Rent shall not abate during any period that the Premises or any part thereof are untenantable regardless of the cause of such untenantability. 3.8 Asset Management Fee. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month with the Base Rent an asset management fee equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Base Rent. 4. USE 4.1 Use. Tenant may use the Premises only for office and laboratory, and research and development facilities and uses that are a reasonably necessary adjunct thereto. "Laboratory" as used herein refers to that portion of the Premises devoted to "wet" laboratory and related research and development use. Exhibit H shows the current allocation of Laboratory and office spaces. Changes resulting in more than 50% or less than 25% of the net rentable square feet of the Premises designated for office use will be considered a change in use. The methodology which will be used for calculating the percent of use will be calculated consistent with the methodology as was employed to calculate the current use percentage as described on Exhibit H (said uses and the permitted deviation in the ratio being hereinafter referred to as the "Use Requirements"). Any other uses or changes in uses shall require Landlord's approval, in accordance with the approval standards set forth in Section 8. The Premises shall not be used for any purpose which would constitute a public or private nuisance or waste, or violate the agreements listed on Exhibit B ("Title Encumbrances"). 3 4.2 Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall, at its cost, comply with all Laws (Section 27.2) and the requirements of any board of fire underwriters, including all modifications required thereby, relating to or affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all documents evidencing Tenant's compliance with any particular Law specified by Landlord. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing immediately of any threatened or actual notice or citation, regarding an alleged failure of the Premises to comply with any Law. 4.3 Mechanic's Liens. Except for claims for delinquent payments for which Landlord is contractually obligated, which shall be the sole responsibility of Landlord, Tenant agrees that during the Term hereof it shall not do or suffer any waste to the Premises, or cause, suffer or permit any liens for labor, services or materials to attach to the Premises by reason of any act or omission of Tenant or person claiming through Tenant. If any lien is filed arising out of work performed for Tenant, Tenant shall either discharge the lien or post a bond pursuant to RCW 60.04.161 to remove the lien from the Premises within 30 days after it receives notice of the lien. 4.4 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as no Event of Default (Section 15.2) exists hereunder, Landlord covenants that Tenant shall have quiet occupation and enjoyment of the Premises from any person claiming through Landlord. 4.5 Development Agreement. During the Term, Tenant shall be responsible for all of Tenant's obligations under that certain Real Estate Agreement, Development Conditions, and Physical Restrictions for Lake Union Steam Plant dated May 5, 1993 (the "Development Agreement"). Capitalized terms used in this Section 4.5 which are not defined in this Lease shall have the meanings set forth in the Development Agreement. Tenant's obligations under the Development Agreement shall not include the following: (a) without impairing Tenant's own obligations to cooperate, any failure of Landlord to cooperate with the City of Seattle (the "City") as required by Section 7.1.1 of the Development Agreement; (b) any exoneration of the City from liability under the Development Agreement as a result of Landlord's entering into a consent decree or consent order under Section 7.1.4 of the Development Agreement without the consent of Tenant; (c) the costs of any remediation of Hazardous Materials under any consent decree or consent order under Section 7.1.4 of the Development Agreement that was entered into without the consent of Tenant unless such remediation is otherwise an obligation of Tenant under this Lease and its failure to pursue the same is an Event of Default; (d) any costs, expenses, penalties, attorneys' or consultants' fees which become owed to the City under Section 7.1.5 of the Development Agreement as a result of the release of Historic Contamination by Landlord or Landlord Related Parties (Section 14); or (e) any costs, expenses, damages, fees or penalties relating to the remediation of Historic Contamination that become owed to the City under Section 7.5 of the Development Agreement as a result of the action of Landlord or Landlord Related Parties; provided, however, Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises and the obligations of Tenant under the Lease to maintain, construct, alter, expand, repair, or restore any existing or future improvements on the Premises shall be deemed the sole acts of Tenant hereunder, whether the same are performed by (a) Tenant, or (b) Landlord on behalf of Tenant as a result of any Event of Default. 5. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR 5.1 Tenant's Obligations. Tenant shall keep and maintain all portions of the Premises in good order and condition, in a manner typical of other properly maintained and operated facilities of a 4 similar nature and in accordance with all Laws and with the standards of maintenance and repair adhered to by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date. Tenant shall promptly make all repairs and replacements required in order to keep and maintain the Premises in such order and condition. Tenant shall also keep the Premises in compliance with all Laws and the requirements of the property and environmental insurance coverages. The provisions of this Section shall not conflict with Tenant's rights to obtain insurance and condemnation proceeds under Sections 10, 11 and 12. If Tenant fails to perform the required maintenance and repairs, Landlord shall have the cure rights described in Section 15.7. 5.2 Condition on Surrender. Upon termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove its personal property, repair any damage caused by removal, comply with any removal and Restoration Requirements (Section 8), and leave the Premises in good repair and condition, subject to Section 10.3. In addition, prior to termination of the Lease, Tenant shall perform all decommissioning required by governmental agencies and shall provide copies of all decommissioning reports to Landlord. If Tenant has failed to complete the governmental decommissioning process by the expiration or earlier termination date of this Lease, and as a result, the Premises cannot be relet, the Tenant shall be required to continue to pay full Rent and perform its obligations hereunder until such decommissioning is complete. The foregoing shall also be considered holding over and be subject to the terms of Section 27.13 if, and for so long as, Tenant fails to pursue such decommissioning with due diligence. The Fixed Equipment then existing in the Premises shall be surrendered with the Premises in good and operating condition and free of any liens, financing leases or other encumbrances created by or imposed against Tenant, and belong solely to Landlord. 6. UTILITIES AND TAXES 6.1 Utilities. Subject to Section 22, Tenant shall pay when due all charges for utility services provided to the Premises including power, water and sewer, and gas. No interruption of utility service shall give Tenant the right to abate Rent or terminate this Lease. 6.2 Taxes. Subject to Section 22, Tenant shall pay when due all Real Property Taxes. "Real Property Taxes" shall mean: (i) the ad valorem property taxes and other similar taxes levied against the Premises which become due and payable during the Term, (ii) all installments of assessments imposed by governmental entities on the Premises which become due and payable during the Term, and (iii) governmental licensing or similar fees. Real Property Taxes shall include all taxes and assessments levied against the Premises other than conveyance taxes arising from Landlord's transfer of the Premises, Landlord's rental taxes (if any), Landlord's business and occupation taxes, franchise or net income taxes of Landlord, any estate, succession, gift, capital levy or similar taxes. If any assessment may be paid in installments, Tenant shall be responsible only for those installments due and payable during the Term and for those portions of installments to the extent they accrued during the Lease Term, even if they are payable thereafter. If Landlord enters into private agreements for off-site improvements for the benefit of the Premises which are in lieu of government imposed improvements, Tenant shall pay Landlord's installments thereunder to the extent they accrued during the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amortization period used in calculating the amount of the installments is less than the amortization period that would have been used for the government assessment that would have otherwise been imposed, then Tenant shall pay a portion of the Landlord's installments due under such private agreements, to the extent they accrued during the Term, recalculated using the same amortization period as would have been used for the government assessment. Tenant shall pay all personal property taxes levied against the Premises as and when due to the extent the levy thereof is attributable to the Term and all such taxes are assessed against its own property. It is Landlord's and Tenant's express intent that all Fixed Equipment identified on Exhibit G and all substitutions, modifications or additions thereto, is part of the real property and not personal property. No personal property is being leased by Landlord to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Department of Revenue assesses any personal property taxes relating to the Premises, the Fixed Equipment or this Lease, Tenant shall pay such taxes, subject to Section 22. 5 7. SECURITY DEPOSIT 7.1 General Requirements. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant will provide to Landlord a security deposit ("Security Deposit") in the amount of $568,441.08 (i.e. two months Base Rent). Tenant shall increase the amount of the Security Deposit to correspond to increases in Base Rent at the time such adjustments become effective. Tenant can elect to provide the Security Deposit in the form of either a letter of credit ("LOC"), or pledged marketable securities from Tenant's corporate cash investment portfolio, or a combination thereof, variable over the Term. Landlord will hold the Security Deposit as security for the performance of Tenant's obligations under the Lease. The Security Deposit will not be considered 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, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, use all or a portion of the Security Deposit to cure any Event of Default. Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant will replenish the Security Deposit to its required amount. Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to any subsequent owner of the Premises. Landlord and its successors and assigns will not be bound by any assignment or encumbrance of the Security Deposit by Tenant, provided, however, if Tenant's interest in the Lease has been assigned, Landlord will return the Security Deposit to such assignee in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Within 30 days following the expiration of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of all of its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall return the then existing balance of the Security Deposit to Tenant. Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the Security Deposit. If Landlord returns the Security Deposit to Tenant's assignee as aforesaid, Landlord will have no further obligation to any party with respect thereto. Tenant shall not encumber the Security Deposit. 7.2 Letter of Credit. During any period that Tenant elects to satisfy all or any portion of the Security Deposit with an LOC, the LOC must be an irrevocable and unconditional standby letter of credit, issued by the Bank of America or its successors or another financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and with a term of at least one year substantially in the form of Exhibit D. Landlord may draw upon the LOC to cure any Event of Default, as described in Section 7.1. In addition, if at any time there are less than 30 days remaining before the expiration of the LOC, and if Tenant does not deliver an extension or replacement of the LOC within 5 business days after notice from Landlord, Landlord may draw upon the LOC; provided that if Tenant subsequently provides a replacement LOC, and to the extent Landlord has not applied the same to any default, Landlord will return the funds drawn to Tenant without interest. 7.3 Pledged Securities. So long as Tenant's reported Cash Position (defined below) is at least $50,000,000.00 (the "Cash Position Minimum"), Tenant may satisfy all or any portion of the Security Deposit with marketable securities satisfying the criteria stated in this Section 7.3. "Cash Position" is defined as the sum of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as determined by reference to GAAP. If Tenant's reported Cash Position drops below the Cash Position Minimum at any time, then Tenant shall immediately convert all of its Security Deposit to an LOC. Tenant may subsequently satisfy its Security Deposit with marketable securities once Tenant has again exceeded the Cash Position Minimum for at least two consecutive quarters. During any period that Tenant elects to satisfy all or any portion of the Security Deposit with marketable securities, the pledge will be of short term (2 years or less) fixed income marketable securities from Tenant's corporate cash investment portfolio, including money market funds, rated not lower than Aa, AA, A1 or P1 or equivalent by a nationally recognized credit rating service. The pledged marketable securities will be held by Union Bank of California or another bank or financial institution mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant as custodian for Landlord, either in a separate custodian account or as specially designated securities within a larger custodian account. The pledge agreement must be substantially in the form of Exhibit E and provide Landlord with a perfected first lien security interest in the pledged securities. The custodial agreement must be substantially in the form of Exhibit F and provide direct access authorization which would permit Landlord in an Event of Default, without approval of Tenant, to authorize the sale of the securities and the withdrawal of the proceeds thereof (not to exceed the amount of the then required Security Deposit) for application by Landlord to cure any Event of Default, as described in Section 7.1. So long as the value of the pledged securities comply with the requirements of this Lease, Tenant will be entitled to retain all interest and other earnings generated by the pledged securities. If the market value 6 of the pledged securities drops below the required amount of the Security Deposit, Tenant will immediately add additional marketable securities to the pledge to increase the value of the pledged securities to equal or exceed the required level. Failure of Tenant to increase the pledged securities as required within 3 business days of notice from Landlord and/or the account custodian will constitute an Event of Default. Tenant will have the right to substitute marketable securities meeting the rating criteria and having all of the other characteristics specified above for the securities subject to the pledge. 8. ALTERATIONS 8.1 General. All alterations of Premises shall be made at Tenant's sole cost and expense. All alterations shall be made in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all Laws and insurance requirements and Tenant shall enforce any warranties to the extent necessary to cause any defects in workmanship or materials to be corrected. Subject to Section 8.6, all alterations shall be fully consistent with the overall character of the Premises as a first class scientific research and development facility (the "Function Requirements") and the Use Requirements. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, costs (including attorneys' fees and costs) or damage occurring in connection with Tenant's alterations; notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be liable to reimburse Landlord for Landlord's overhead and expenses in reviewing any plans, specifications and other documents or in otherwise confirming Tenant's conformance to the requirements of this Section 8 ("Review Costs") except that for Category D and E Alterations, Tenant shall pay Landlord a fee equal to the lesser of $10,000 or 5% of all costs incurred by Tenant or its contractors or agents in connection with any Category D or E Alteration, to defray Landlord's Review Costs. Prior to commencing any alterations, Tenant shall obtain all necessary permits from governmental authorities. Irrespective of Landlord's receipt, review and any approval of the plans and specifications for Tenant's alterations, Tenant, and not Landlord, shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy or sufficiency of the plans and specifications, their compliance with applicable Laws, codes, regulations or statutes, and their fitness for Tenant's purpose. If any alterations by Tenant trigger any legal requirements to make other modifications to the Premises, Tenant shall make such modifications at its sole cost and expense. Tenant shall provide to Landlord as-built drawings for all alterations by Tenant promptly after completion of the alteration. Except for Removable Equipment, all alterations shall become the property of Landlord immediately upon installation or completion and shall be subject to all of the terms of this Lease. Prior to commencing any Category "B-E" Alteration, Tenant must deliver to Landlord evidence of insurance from all contractors and subcontractors reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to protect Landlord against liability for personal injury or property damage during construction, naming Landlord as an additional insured. 8.2 Category "A" Alterations. An alteration is a "Category A Alteration" if the estimated cost of such alteration is less than $5,000 and the alteration does not fall within the definition of Category D or E Alterations. For Category A Alterations, in addition to the requirements of Section 8.1, Tenant will deliver notice to Landlord describing the alteration promptly after its completion, in the manner stated in Section 27.3. 8.3 Category "B" Alterations. An alteration is a "Category B Alteration" if the estimated cost of such alteration is between $5,000 and $25,000, and the alteration does not fall within the definition of Category D or E Alterations. For Category B Alterations, in addition to the requirements of Section 8.1, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in the manner stated in Section 27.3, of the planned alteration at least 5 business days prior to commencement of the work, providing a brief description of the work, the estimated cost, and any permit drawings, if applicable. 8.4 Category "C" Alterations. An alteration is a "Category C Alteration" if the estimated cost of such alteration exceeds $25,000 and the alteration does not fall within the definition of Category D or E Alterations. For Category C Alterations, in addition to the requirements of Section 8.1, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in the manner stated in Section 27.3, of the planned alteration at least 10 business days prior to the commencement of the work, providing a description of the work, the estimated cost and any permit drawings for Landlord's review and approval. Landlord will not withhold its approval of the alteration, however Landlord may impose reasonable conditions on the alteration to the extent necessary to protect its investment, provided that Landlord may not require Tenant to restore the Premises or 7 remove the Category C Alteration as a condition of its consent. For Category C Alterations, if Landlord does not respond to Tenant's notice of such alteration within the 10 business day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such alteration without conditions. 8.5 Category "D" Alterations. An alteration is a "Category D Alteration," regardless of estimated cost, if such alteration does not fall within the definition of a Category E Alteration, and either (a) such alteration when aggregated with past alterations and concurrent alterations, fails to comply with the Use Requirements, or (b) such alteration results in a net change in rentable square footage for any Function which is outside of the "Function Tolerances" set forth in the Table of Uses contained in Exhibit H. "Function" is defined by reference to physical and functional distinctions evident in the floor plans attached as Exhibit H. For Category D Alterations, in addition to the requirements of Section 8.1, Tenant must obtain Landlord's prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. To request Landlord's approval, Tenant shall provide to Landlord schematic drawings for Category D Alterations and Landlord shall respond with its comments on such proposed alteration within 10 business days after receipt thereof. Such approval is also subject to Landlord's subsequent 10 business day review and approval of the construction drawings for the proposed alteration. Landlord shall be required to approve the Category D Alteration and the construction drawings, if (i) Landlord had previously approved the schematic drawings, and (ii) the construction drawings reflect the same alterations as such schematic drawings. If Landlord disapproves of either the schematic drawings or the construction drawings, it shall provide Tenant with reasonably detailed reasons therefor. Failure to provide any such notice shall not be construed as an approval of or consent to any alteration. Landlord may condition its approval of Category D Alterations on a Restoration Requirement (Section 8.7). 8.6 Category "E" Alterations. An alteration is a "Category E Alteration," regardless of estimated cost, if such alteration (a) fails to comply with the Function Requirements, (b) incorporates materials or employs construction standards that are of a materially lesser quality than those used in the then existing Premises, (c) decreases the number of net rentable square feet in the Premises, (d) involves any alterations to the foundation, roof or structural components of the Improvements, (e) alters the exterior appearance of the Premises (but specifically excluding landscaping, Removable Equipment, antennas or mechanical systems on the roof, and signage when reasonably required for Tenant's business); (f) is designed for any use that is not expressly permitted under Section 4.1; (g) results in Laboratory space being improved for use as a "Process Lab" (defined by reference to Exhibit H) outside of the "Extreme Max" Function Tolerances set forth in Exhibit H; (h) results in more than 60% of the Premises being improved for office use; or (i) results in more than 80% of the Premises being improved for Laboratory use (Section 4.1). For Category E Alterations, in addition to the requirements of Section 8.1, Tenant must request Landlord's prior written approval, which is subject to Landlord's sole discretion. To request Landlord's approval, Tenant shall provide to Landlord schematic drawings for Category E alterations and Landlord shall respond with its comments on the proposal within 10 business days after receipt thereof, which is subject to Landlord's subsequent 10 business day review and approval of the construction drawings. Landlord shall approve the Category E Alteration and the construction drawings, if (i) Landlord had previously approved the schematic drawings, and (ii) the construction drawings reflect the same alterations as such schematic drawings. If Landlord disapproves of either the schematic drawings or the construction drawings, it shall provide Tenant with reasonably detailed reasons therefor. Failure to provide any such notice shall not be construed as an approval of or consent to any alteration. Landlord may condition its approval of Category E Alterations on a Restoration Requirement. 8.7 Restoration Requirement and Restoration Deposit. Landlord may condition its approval of Category D and E Alterations on a requirement that Tenant remove such alterations at the end of the Term and fully restore the Premises to the location, size, design, configuration, condition and state of improvement and fixturing that existed immediately prior to making such alterations and consistent with the degree of maintenance and repair required by this Lease (the "Restoration Requirement"). If Landlord conditions its approval of a Category D or E Alteration on a Restoration Requirement, Landlord may further require that Tenant post a deposit (the "Restoration Deposit") in an amount equal to Landlord's reasonable estimate of the removal and restoration costs in any circumstance 8 in which the same exceed $100,000 and which shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as those that are applicable to the Security Deposit; provided, however, the Restoration Deposit shall be returned to Tenant to the extent and at the earlier of such time as (a) Landlord waives its requirement in writing that such alterations be removed and the Premises restored, which election shall be at Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, or (b) Tenant completes the removals and restorations, Landlord accepts the same as having complied with Tenant's obligations under this section, and Tenant provides Landlord with final lien waivers and evidence of payment for all of the costs and expenses incurred to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be required to post a Restoration Deposit unless (a) Landlord has made a good faith determination that Restoration will likely be required and (b) Tenant's cash flow position drops below the Cash Position Minimum (Section 7.3). 8.8 Fixed and Removable Equipment. This Lease arises simultaneously with the sale of the Premises by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated August 29, 2002, as amended (the "Purchase Agreement"). In order to establish which elements and/or pieces of equipment within the Premises were included in the sale and which were not, the parties applied the criteria listed below to develop the listing contained on Exhibit G containing those items which were considered affixed and part of the Premises. All other items not listed on Exhibit G were considered personal property retained by Tenant. "Fixed Equipment" is defined as the equipment listed on Exhibit G, plus any new equipment brought onto the Premises which either replaces the items listed on Exhibit G, has the same the physical and functional distinctions as the equipment listed on Exhibit G, or satisfies the criteria stated below. FIXED EQUIPMENT CRITERIA: 1) Equipment that is built into the facility in such a manner that it will require the removal of walls, floors, ceilings or additions to or modifications of existing structural support, whether temporary or permanent, to install or relocate it; 2) Equipment that is connected to common building systems in such a way that the service must be modified outside the local area or room where the equipment is located when the equipment is disconnected; or 3) Equipment that provides service to other Fixed Equipment or without which such other Fixed Equipment would not be functional. As new equipment is brought into the Premises, the determination of whether such equipment is considered Fixed Equipment or Removable Equipment will be made by using the physical and functional distinctions evident in the listing attached as Exhibit G and where that does not provide sufficient guidance, applying the above Fixed Equipment criteria. If any alteration is intended to include attached equipment, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of its suggested classification as either Fixed or Removable when it gives the notices or requests the approvals as required above. New Fixed Equipment shall become Landlord's property immediately. No Fixed Equipment may be leased or subject to any lien or security interest by Tenant. 9. INSURANCE 9.1 Tenant's Insurance. Tenant shall maintain at its sole cost and expense the following insurance on the Premises, and in all cases such policies shall name as additional insureds (a) Landlord, (b) any lender of Landlord holding any security interest in the Premises, and (c) any management company retained by Landlord to manage the Premises: 9.1.1 Property. Insurance against loss or damage to the Premises on an all risk basis, including sprinkler damage and flood for an amount not less than the actual replacement cost of the Premises. The insurance shall include coverage from business interruption and extra expense for a period of not less than 18 months. Tenant shall also carry earthquake insurance and insurance against damage caused by terrorism and acts of war to the extent the same is or are available at commercially 9 reasonable rates and is required by Landlord. In determining whether such insurance is available at a commercially reasonably rate, the parties will take into consideration the cost and availability of similar policies for Landlord's (or its affiliates') other Seattle properties (or in similarly rated seismic areas if Landlord or its affiliates no longer own other Seattle properties). At Tenant's option, the Premises may be included in Landlord's (or its affiliates') blanket policy of insurance, if and for so long as the same is maintained by Landlord (or its affiliates), in which case the cost of insurance allocable to the Premises will be based on the insurer's cost calculations. In addition, Tenant shall maintain during the Term all risk insurance for Tenant's personal property (including business interruption and extra expense coverage) covering the full replacement cost of all property, improvements and equipment placed in or on the Premises by Tenant, with the understanding that the proceeds of such policies shall be paid to and belong to Tenant. 9.1.2 Liability. Commercial liability insurance with a combined single limit (including umbrella) of at least $10 million per occurrence and $10 million in the aggregate, naming Landlord as an additional insured and such insurance shall be primary to and not contributory with any insurance carried by Landlord regarding events that occur in the Premises. 9.1.3 Boiler. Insurance against loss or damage from explosion of any steam or pressure boilers or similar apparatus located in or about the Premises in an amount not less than the actual cost to repair or replace the insured equipment/machinery. At Tenant's option, the Premises may be included in Landlord's (or its affiliates') blanket policy of insurance, if and so long as the same is maintained by Landlord (or its affiliates), in which case the cost allocable to the Premises will be based on the insurer's cost calculations. 9.1.4 Builder's Risk. Whenever Tenant, whether as Landlord's construction agent or otherwise, is engaged in alterations costing in excess of $5 million, Tenant shall obtain completed value builder's risk insurance. 9.1.5 Environmental Insurance. To the extent available at a commercially reasonable rate, pollution legal liability insurance with a limit of not less than $10,000,000 covering the Premises and contamination therefrom. In determining whether such insurance is available at a commercially reasonable rate, the parties will take into consideration the cost and availability of similar policies for other of Landlord's (or its affiliates') similar properties. Such insurance shall be on a claims-made basis. At Tenant's option, the Premises may be included in Landlord's (or its affiliates') blanket policy of insurance, if and for so long as Landlord (or its affiliates) maintains such policies, in which case the cost of such insurance allocable to the Premises will be based on the insurer's cost calculations. 9.1.6 Workers' Compensation. Tenant shall maintain workers' compensation insurance with no less than the minimum limits required by law. 9.1.7 Other Tenant Insurance. In addition to the insurance coverage listed above in this Section 9.1, at Tenant's and Landlord's option, Tenant may be included in Landlord's (or its affiliates') blanket policy for other insurance (e.g. mold insurance), if and for so long as Landlord (or its affiliates) maintains such policies, in which case the cost of such insurance allocable to the Premises will be based on the insurer's cost calculations. 9.1.8 Landlord's Evidence of Insurance. In those instances where Tenant is included in Landlord's (or its affiliates') blanket policies of insurance, at Tenant's request, Landlord shall provide Tenant with insurance certificates, or such other reasonable evidence of coverage under such policies. 9.2 Rating. The insurance required by Section 9.1 shall be written by companies rated not less than A - and having a size rating of X or higher in the current edition of A. M. Best's Key Rating Guide, and all such companies shall be authorized to do insurance business in Washington, or otherwise agreed to by Landlord. The insurance policies shall be in amounts sufficient at all times to satisfy any coinsurance requirements thereof. If said insurance or any part thereof shall expire or be withdrawn, 10 Tenant shall immediately obtain new or additional insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. As of the date of the Lease, Tenant's insurers are rated A++ (Chubb) and A+ (FM Global). 9.3 Mortgagee. Each insurance policy referred to in Sections 9.1.1, 9.1.3 and 9.1.4, shall contain standard non-contributory mortgagee clauses in favor of any mortgagee. Each such policy shall provide that the issuer will endeavor to notify the mortgagee if there are any material changes to the policy. 9.4 Renewal. Tenant shall pay when due all premiums for the insurance required by this Section 9 and shall deliver to Landlord copies of any insurance policy upon Landlord's request and a certificate or other evidence (reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) of the existing policies and of renewal or replacement policies prior to the policy expiration date (which may be by extension of the existing policy). If Tenant fails to comply with the requirements of this Section 9 within 5 business days after written notice by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to procure such insurance pursuant to Section 15.7. 9.5 Landlord's Blanket Policies. As noted in Sections 9.1.1, 9.1.3, and 9.1.5, Tenant shall have the option of obtaining the insurance through Landlord's (or its affiliates') blanket insurance policies for its portfolio to obtain improved coverage or cost savings, if and for so long as Landlord (or its affiliates) maintains such policies. At Tenant's request, Landlord will provide Tenant with premium rating information, copies of insurance policies, and other information reasonably necessary to facilitate Tenant's evaluation of this option. 9.6 Landlord's Insurance. Landlord, at its expense, shall carry comprehensive general liability insurance with a combined single limit (including umbrella) of at least $5 million per occurrence and $5 million in the aggregate. 9.7 Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant waive their respective rights of recovery against the other and the officers, employees, agents and representatives of such other party for damage to the property of the other by fire or other casualty to the extent such damage is insured or required hereunder to be insured. The insurance policies carried by Landlord and Tenant shall include a waiver of the insurer's rights of subrogation. 10. CASUALTY; OBLIGATION TO RESTORE 10.1 Definitions. "Casualty" shall mean damage to or destruction of the Premises by storm, fire, lightning, earthquake, or from any other cause, other than such damage or destruction which is the subject of a Condemnation (Section 12). "Excess Insurance Proceeds" shall mean that portion of any Insurance Proceeds which are received by the Landlord or its mortgagee that are not used to pay the third party costs of restoring any damage to the Premises or any other third party out of pocket costs incurred, including attorneys' fees, in connection with the Casualty, including such costs to obtain the Insurance Proceeds, but in any event excluding Tenant's Proceeds. The determination of Excess Insurance Proceeds shall be made upon completion of the Casualty Restoration. "Excess Insurance Proceeds Rent Reduction" shall mean a dollar for dollar reduction to the Base Rent for the then remainder of the Term until exhausted, from and after the date Landlord receives any Excess Insurance Proceeds. "Fair Market Value of Premises" for purposes of this Section 10 is defined in Exhibit L. 11 "Insurance Proceeds" shall mean the proceeds of any insurance maintained by Tenant under Section 9, which is paid for a Casualty Restoration (Section 10.4), but excludes Tenant's Proceeds. "Substantial or Full Casualty" shall mean a Casualty which is certified, by an affidavit from Tenant's president, chief executive officer or chief financial officer, stating with a reasonable basis that such event has rendered the Premises (taken separately from any other properties owned or leased by Tenant) unavailable for Tenant's continued business operations in compliance with the Use Requirements and Function Requirements for more than 12 months and the cost of restoring the Premises is reasonably estimated to exceed $10,000,000. "Tenant's Proceeds" shall mean any proceeds of insurance policies payable for Tenant's business interruption or damage to Tenant's personal property. 10.2 Substantial or Full Casualty in Last 18 Months of Term. If and only if there is a Substantial or Full Casualty of the Premises during the last 18 months of the then current Term, then (i) Landlord will receive the Insurance Proceeds; and (ii) provided Tenant has maintained the insurance coverages required under this Lease, the Lease will terminate effective as of the date of the Casualty, and Tenant's obligations under the Lease will be replaced by an obligation for Tenant to pay any deductibles under applicable insurance policies, plus Rent for the balance of the then current Term. 10.3 Substantial or Full Casualty Prior to Last 18 Months of Term. If and only if there is a Substantial or a Full Casualty of the Premises prior to the last 18 months of the then current Term, then Tenant shall have the option to either (i) continue the Lease pursuant to Section 10.3.1 below; or (ii) make a rejectable offer to purchase pursuant to Section 10.3.2 below. If Tenant makes a rejectable offer to purchase, unless and until Tenant closes on the purchase, or the Lease terminates pursuant to 10.3.2, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent when due. 10.3.1 Lease Continuation. If there is a Substantial or Full Casualty of the Premises prior to the last 18 months of the then current Term, unless Tenant delivers a Termination Notice under Section 10.3.2 below, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and no Rent shall abate under this Lease as a result of such Substantial or Full Casualty; provided, however, the Base Rent under this Lease shall be subject to an Excess Insurance Proceeds Rent Reduction (as defined above). In such event, Tenant's restoration obligations set forth in Section 10.4 below shall apply. If Tenant elects to restore, and pursuant to Tenant's rights to sublet or assign under Section 13, Tenant may exercise up to 2 of its remaining 5 year Renewal Options. In such event Tenant waives its rescission right under Section 2.4 as it relates to such exercise only. 10.3.2 Lease Termination. If there is a Substantial or Full Casualty of the Premises prior to the last 18 months of the then current Term, and Tenant will not be re-occupying the Premises following such Substantial or Full Casualty Restoration, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by delivering notice of such election to Landlord within 90 days after the Casualty ("Casualty Termination Notice"). The Casualty Termination Notice shall include an offer by Tenant to purchase the Premises from Landlord for the greater of (i) the original purchase price paid by Landlord for the Premises; or (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Premises. Within 60 days from Landlord's receipt of the Casualty Termination Notice, Landlord will notify Tenant whether it will accept or reject Tenant's offer to purchase the Premises, with Landlord's silence deemed rejection. If Landlord accepts Tenant's offer to purchase, then notwithstanding Section 10.5 below, Tenant shall be entitled to all Insurance Proceeds, and such purchase shall close on the later of (i) 10 business days after Tenant's receipt of all Insurance Proceeds; or (ii) 30 days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's acceptance of such offer. If Landlord rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, Tenant's offer to purchase, then the Lease will be deemed terminated effective as of the date of Landlord's rejection, with Landlord retaining the Insurance Proceeds. In such event, Tenant shall also be liable to pay Landlord any applicable deductibles on insurance policies relating to the Casualty Restoration, and Tenant shall pay such 12 deductible amount to Landlord within 30 days of the date of Landlord's rejection and the Lease's termination date. 10.4 Obligation to Restore. If there is a Casualty and the Lease has not terminated by the application of Sections 10.2 or 10.3 above, then, irrespective of the extent of the Casualty or whether the cause is covered by insurance, Tenant shall repair, restore and rebuild the Premises in accordance with the Function Requirements and the Use Requirements and all applicable building and zoning codes at the time of rebuilding to substantially the same location, size, design, configuration and condition immediately prior to damage or destruction (with any departures from said characteristics in accordance with Section 8 for Alterations) and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Such repair, restoration and rebuilding, including the repair, restoration or replacement of Fixed Equipment (all of which are herein called a "Casualty Restoration") shall be commenced as soon as reasonably practical and taking into consideration a reasonable time for the insurance adjustment of the loss, the work to design the repairs/replacements, and permitting delays; and shall be diligently pursued to completion. 10.5. Insurance Proceeds. Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to Tenant for application to costs of Casualty Restoration; provided that if the proceeds exceed $3 million (unless Landlord's mortgagee should require a lesser amount, but in no event less than $1 million), they shall be held by an insurance trustee pursuant to Section 11. If the Insurance Proceeds are insufficient to cover the cost of repair, the deficit shall be paid by Tenant. Any Excess Insurance Proceeds shall be paid and belong to Landlord. For avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.5 shall not apply to Tenant's Proceeds; in every instance Tenant's Proceeds shall be paid to and be the sole property of Tenant. 10.6 No Casualty Termination. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease to the contrary, unless Sections 10.2 or 10.3 above apply, this Lease may not be terminated by Tenant or Landlord as a result of a Casualty to the Premises, irrespective of the extent thereof, whether such loss is insured or when such Casualty occurs, or whether such damage is legally permitted to be restored, and Tenant and Landlord waive the provisions of any Law permitting termination of a lease due to destruction of the Premises. 10.7 No Abatement of Rent. Except to the extent stated in Sections 10.2 and 10.3 above, no Rent shall abate under this Lease as a result of any Casualty, whether or not or to the extent the same may be insured, and irrespective of whether or not such damage or destruction is prohibited from being repaired or restored; provided, however, the Base Rent shall be subject to an Excess Insurance Proceeds Rent Reduction. 11. INSURANCE TRUSTEE 11.1 Procedure. If the Insurance Proceeds exceed $3 million (unless Landlord's mortgagee should require a lesser amount, but in no event less than $1 million) and this Lease has not terminated by application of Sections 10.2 or 10.3, then such Insurance Proceeds shall be held by an insurance trustee which shall be a financial institution jointly selected by Landlord and Tenant and reasonably satisfactory to any mortgagee(s) (the "Trustee"). If Landlord's mortgagee is an institutional lender, such lender may elect to be the Trustee. Each insurer is authorized to make payment directly to the Trustee; and Tenant and Landlord each appoints such Trustee as its attorney-in-fact to endorse any check for Insurance Proceeds after approval by Tenant of the Trustee (if other than Landlord's mortgagee). The Insurance Proceeds, net of reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining them, shall be retained in a separate interest-bearing federally insured account by the Trustee for application to restoration, with the interest added to the proceeds. The Trustee shall make the net Insurance Proceeds available to Tenant for restoration, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11. The net Insurance Proceeds held by the Trustee shall be disbursed in accordance with the following conditions: 11.1.1 Landlord's Approval. The plans and specifications for the restoration shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval, which approval shall be granted to the extent that the plans and specifications conform with the conditions specified in Section 10.4. 13 11.1.2 No Default. At the time of any disbursement, no Event of Default shall exist and no mechanics' or materialmen's liens shall have been filed and remain undischarged or unbonded except to the extent the disbursement would satisfy and discharge such liens. 11.2 Disbursements. After all of the uninsured costs to repair and restore the Premises have been paid by Tenant out of its own funds, disbursements shall be made monthly by the Trustee to reflect that percentage of the work that is being paid for with the Insurance Proceeds that has been completed since the prior disbursement upon receipt of (1) a Draw Certificate (Section 11.3), (2) completion and performance of the work to date in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the contracts, plans and specifications, (3) customary lien waivers for the work covered by the prior progress payments, and (4) other reasonable evidence of cost and payment so that Trustee can verify that the amounts disbursed from time to time constitute the same percentage of the total budgeted Casualty Restoration costs, as such budget may be adjusted from time to time. 11.3 Draw Certificates. Each request for disbursement shall be accompanied by a certificate using AIA Forms G702 and G703 ("Draw Certificates"), as the same may be amended or replaced by AIA or a similar entity describing the work, materials or other costs or expenses, for which payment is requested, stating the cost incurred in connection therewith and stating that Tenant has not previously received payment for such work or expense. For soft costs, where the referenced AIA Forms would not apply, Tenant's delivery of reasonable documentation of such costs shall satisfy the Draw Certificate requirement. The Draw Certificate to be delivered by Tenant upon completion of the work shall, in addition, state that the work covered by the request has been substantially completed. 12. CONDEMNATION 12.1 Definitions. "Condemnation" shall mean any taking of the Premises by condemnation or other eminent domain proceedings pursuant to any Law or any conveyance under threat thereof. "Excess Condemnation Award" shall mean that portion of any Condemnation Award which is paid to Landlord or its mortgagee and not used by Landlord, its mortgagee or Tenant to pay the third party out of pocket costs of restoring any damage to the Premises caused by the Condemnation or any third party out of pocket costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord or its mortgagee in connection with the Condemnation. "Fair Market Value of Premises" for purposes of this Section 12 is defined in Exhibit L. "Substantial or Complete Condemnation" shall mean a Condemnation that is not a Temporary Taking, which is certified by an affidavit from Tenant's president, chief executive officer or chief financial officer, stating with a reasonable basis that such Condemnation has rendered the Premises (taken separately from any other properties owned or leased by Tenant) unavailable for Tenant's continued business operations in compliance with this Lease's Use Requirements and Function Requirements and results in a loss of 35% or more of the rentable square feet of the Premises. "Temporary Taking" shall mean a condemnation of all or part of the Premises for up to two (2) years. 12.2 Notice/Award. Either party, promptly upon obtaining knowledge of any Condemnation proceeding affecting the Premises, shall notify the other party and both parties shall be entitled to participate in any Condemnation proceeding. Subject to the provisions of this Section 12, Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord any award or payment with respect to any Condemnation of Landlord's interest in the Premises (the "Condemnation Award"), except that nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to preclude Tenant from making a separate claim for an award on account of the Removable Equipment, 14 moving expenses, relocation costs, business interruption or out-of-pocket expenses incidental to the move so long as in doing so the amount of Landlord's award is not reduced. 12.3 Substantial or Complete Condemnation. If there is a Substantial or Complete Condemnation of the Premises Tenant will deliver notice thereof to Landlord within 120 days after receipt of demand for turnover from the condemning agency ("Condemnation Termination Notice")and this Lease shall terminate. The Condemnation Termination Notice shall verify the Substantial or Complete Condemnation and include an offer by Tenant to terminate the Lease by paying Landlord the greater of (i) the original purchase price paid by Landlord for the Premises; or (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Premises (the "Termination Fee"). Within 60 days from Landlord's receipt of the Termination Notice, Landlord will notify Tenant whether it will accept or reject Tenant's offer to terminate the Lease with Landlord's silence deemed rejection. If Landlord accepts Tenant's offer to terminate the Lease, then notwithstanding Section 12.2 above, Tenant shall be entitled to the entire Condemnation Award, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the Termination Fee by the later of (y) 10 business days after Tenant's receipt of the Condemnation Award; or (z) 30 days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's acceptance of such offer. If there is less than a total condemnation, Landlord shall transfer to Tenant fee title to any remainder of the Premises, upon Landlord's receipt of the Termination Fee. If Landlord rejects, or is deemed to have rejected Tenant's offer to terminate the Lease, then the Lease will be deemed terminated effective as of the date the Premises are surrendered to the condemning authority, with Landlord retaining the Condemnation Award (subject to Section 12.2). Tenant shall continue to pay Rent until the latest of date on which (a) the Termination Fee is paid, (b) the Lease is deemed terminated, or (c) the Tenant vacates the Premises. 12.4 Partial Condemnation. If there is a partial Condemnation which is not a Substantial or Complete Condemnation, Section 12.3 shall not apply, this Lease will not terminate and the Condemnation Award shall be made available to Tenant to restore the Premises to a complete architectural unit with the character, function and commercial value as nearly as possible equal to the value of the Premises immediately prior to the taking. For such purposes, Landlord may require that the Condemnation Award be deposited with and disbursed by a trustee in the same manner that would have been applicable had the Premises been damaged by a casualty that invoked the provisions of Section 11. The Base Rent shall then be reduced to reflect the reduction in the Premises. If the reduction is to the interior, the Rent would be proportionately reduced to reflect the reduction in the rentable square feet; if the reduction affects the number of parking spaces available, the Rent reduction will reflect the excess cost to Tenant for comparable parking. There will be no Rent reduction for the Condemnation of unimproved or landscaped areas. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the net present value of the Rent reduction exceed the Excess Condemnation Award. 12.5 Temporary Taking. If there is a Temporary Taking, then notwithstanding Section 12.2 above, the entire Condemnation Award shall be paid to Tenant to the extent it is attributable to the Term and Tenant shall continue to pay the Rent due hereunder without abatement or adjustment. 13. SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT 13.1 General. Tenant shall have the right to assign or sublet the Premises, in whole or in part (any of which events being a "Transfer" and any assignee or sublessee being a "Transferee"), with the consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld as further detailed in this Section 13. Landlord will be deemed to have approved the Transfer unless within 10 business days after receipt of Tenant's request complying with this Section 13, Landlord gives written notice specifying its objections to the Transfer. Such request shall be accompanied by a complete and accurate copy of the proposed assignment or sublease, the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee, its address, telephone number and principal representative who may be contacted for information and inquiries, the uses it intends to make of the Premises, if and how it is affiliated with Tenant, and a then current credit report, an operating 15 statement for the immediately preceding 12 months and a then current financial statement reflecting its financial condition in accordance with GAAP (Section 1.2). 13.2 Affiliates/Cooperative Business Arrangements. Notwithstanding Section 13.1, Tenant shall have the right, upon not less than 30 days' advance written notice to Landlord but without Landlord's consent, to Transfer this Lease in whole or in part to Affiliates. "Affiliates" shall mean (a) entities which control, are controlled by or are under common control with Tenant; (b) Tenant's successor entities by merger or acquisition; and (c) entities in which Tenant is a 50% or more owner or joint venturer, and jointly pursuing business objectives consistent with Tenant's business operations, such as discovery or development of pharmaceutical products, so long as such entity has a Cash Position equal to or greater than Tenant's then Cash Position (Section 7.3). 13.3 Landlord's Consent. Landlord will not withhold its consent to a Transfer if: (a) The proposed uses of the Transferee comply with the provisions of Section 4.1. (b) In the case of a sublease, the demising configuration between the retained space and the subleased space does not unreasonably impair the marketability of the remaining space. 13.4 No Release. No Transfer shall release Tenant from any obligations hereunder and Tenant shall remain primarily liable for performance of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord may accept any Rent or performance of Tenant's obligations from any Transferee and such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's rights. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant, or any Transferee, without first exhausting Landlord's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor. 13.5 Assumption. Any assignee of this Lease shall execute an assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in which such assignee becomes jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the performance of Tenant's obligations under the Lease to the extent claims arise after the effective date of the assumption. 13.6 Subleases. Each sublease shall provide that (a) it is subject and subordinate to this Lease; (ii) the term is not longer than the then Term of this Lease, plus any extensions which have been irrevocably exercised, and (iii) if this Lease is terminated for any reason, Landlord may, at its option, either (A) terminate the sublease, or (B) takeover all of the rights and interest of Tenant under the sublease, in which case the sublessee shall attorn to Landlord. If Landlord elects to takeover the rights and interest of Tenant, Landlord shall not (1) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under the sublease, (2) be subject to any defense or offset in favor of the sublessee against Tenant, (3) be bound by any modification to the sublease made without Landlord's written consent or by any prepayment by sublessee of more than one month's rent, or (4) be liable for the application or return of any security deposit not actually received by Landlord. Landlord will agree to the same waiver of subrogation with sublessees as is set forth in Section 9.7. 13.7 Assignment and Sublease Profit. Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to 50% of the rent profit on assignment consideration (i.e. consideration for assignment of the Lease) and sublease rents. The assignment consideration shall be determined and paid as and when received by Tenant. For any nonmonetary consideration, Tenant will have option of assigning half of such non-monetary consideration to Landlord, or having the nonmonetary consideration fairly valued and half of such value paid to Landlord in immediately available funds within a reasonable time after receipt by Tenant of the consideration, to allow for liquidation/valuation. The rent profit on subleases will be determined and paid each month during the sublease term. The rent profit on subleases shall be calculated by taking the rent and other consideration and reimbursements payable by the sublessee to Tenant or to any third party pursuant to the sublease and subtracting (a) the Base Rent due from Tenant hereunder with respect to the subleased space over the same period to which the sublessee's rent applies (per square foot allocation), (b) the monthly amortization of the costs incurred in connection with the sublease for commissions, tenant improvement costs and legal fees (all amortized on a straight-line basis over the 16 sublease term), (c) any reasonable amounts specified in the sublease as rental payments for use of equipment owned by Tenant, (d) Tenant's reasonable estimate of those third party costs payable by Tenant under the Lease or under the sublease and other direct actual reimbursements of third party costs incurred at sublessee's request in connection with the Premises or sublessee's business operations at the Premises, (e) Tenant's reasonable estimate of the cost of providing additional services to the sublessee such as maintaining agreed temperature ranges with regard to the HVAC system and specified air pressures to fume hoods that are in addition to the costs Tenant would otherwise incur for such portion of the Premises. If the sublease is subsequently extended, the then outstanding balance of costs described in clause (b) above shall be reamortized over the remainder of the then sublease term and including the extension. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to provide subsequent reports for and confirmations and calculations of the amounts subtracted for (b) through (e) above and the parties agree that Landlord's share of the rent profit may be adjusted from time to time to more closely reflect the actual costs incurred by Tenant and reasonably allocated to sublessee pursuant to this Section. 14. TENANT'S INDEMNIFICATION Except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties, and subject to the waiver of subrogation in Section 9.7, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its employees, mortgagee(s) and agents ("Landlord Related Parties") harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, damages and costs (including attorneys fees and costs) arising out of (a) its use of or activities on the Premises, (b) any acts or omissions (including violations of Law) by Tenant or Tenant Related Parties (Section 19.1), and (c) any breach of this Lease by Tenant or Tenant Related Parties. 15. TENANT'S INSOLVENCY OR DEFAULT 15.1 Insolvency. Tenant shall be in default upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events (each, an "Event of Default"): (i) Tenant files a petition in bankruptcy or otherwise seeks any judicial protection, stay or relief against its creditors generally, (ii) an involuntary petition in bankruptcy against Tenant or any request for the appointment of a receiver or a custodian or other similar officer for any portion of the Tenant's property is filed or made and not dismissed within 90 days; or (iii) the assignment for the benefit of creditors of any portion of the Tenant's property is made; or (iv) Tenant's interests in this Lease shall be attached, levied upon or judicially seized, whereupon Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease, and neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant shall be entitled to be in possession of the Premises but shall forthwith surrender the same, and Landlord, in addition to the other rights Landlord may have, retains as security for its damages any Rent, Security Deposit or other monies received by Landlord on behalf of Tenant. If any such action, case or petition has been commenced by an unrelated third party against Tenant and is dismissed within a period of 90 days, then the Event of Default shall be deemed cured for purposes hereof. This Lease is upon the further condition that if a petition for relief under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code is filed by an unrelated third party against Tenant and the trustee or debtor or debtor in possession has not cured all defaults hereunder and assigned or assumed this Lease under the Bankruptcy Code within 90 days after the entry of the Order for Relief, then this Lease shall, at Landlord's sole option, terminate. In case of termination pursuant to this Section 15.1, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all costs and expenses and loss of Rent, including amounts due under Section 15.3. 15.2 Defaults. Tenant shall be in default hereunder if: (i) Tenant fails to pay any installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent when due; or (ii) Tenant abandons the Premises, or (iii) Tenant fails to perform any other covenant, term, agreement or condition of this Lease not referred to in (i), (ii) or (iv) when required; or (iv) any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant is cancelled or reduced below its required limits or in its scope of coverage and Tenant does not replace the same at least 20 business days before the effective date of such cancellation or reduction (an "Insurance Default"). An "Event of Default" will exist if (a) Tenant is in default under subsection (i) and the default is not cured within 5 days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such default; (b) Tenant abandons the Premises, (c) Tenant is in default under subsection (iii) and the default is not cured within 30 days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice specifying the default (provided that if the default can not be cured within the 30 day period, 17 Tenant shall have such additional time to cure the default as is reasonably necessary so long as Tenant commences the cure within 10 days after such notice is given and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion within 90 days after Tenant is given the default notice, and such deadline may be further extended for Force Majeure (Section 27.11), provided that Tenant delivers notice to Landlord of such Force Majeure and monthly written status reports during any further extension arising therefrom), (d) an Insurance Default has occurred and Tenant has not cured such default by the sooner of 5 days after Landlord's notice of default or 10 days before the effective date of such cancellation or reduction, or (e) a default by Tenant occurs and is not cured within any applicable cure period, under (i) the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the Lease between Landlord's affiliate and Tenant dated concurrently herewith for the property located at 1208 Eastlake Avenue East, Seattle, WA ("Earl Davie Building Lease"), or (iii) the Line of Credit Loan (Section 26). When there is an Event of Default, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, exercise any of its legal, equitable or contractual remedies for a Tenant default, which may include an election to terminate this Lease by notice, lawful entry or otherwise, in which latter event Landlord shall be entitled to recover possession of the Premises from Tenant and those claiming through Tenant. Any termination of this Lease and any repossession of the Premises shall be without prejudice to any remedies which Landlord might otherwise have. In case of such termination, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all third party out of pocket costs and expenses including the amounts due under Section 15.3 and loss of Rent. All notice and cure periods provided for in this Lease shall run concurrently with any notice and cure periods provided for in any and all of the agreements referred to in part (e) of this Section. 15.3 Expense Recovery. Expenses for which Tenant shall indemnify Landlord shall include all third-party out of pocket collection costs, including attorneys' fees and all other third party out of pocket costs proximately caused by the Event of Default, with or without litigation, including any such costs incurred in connection with issues that are particular to a bankruptcy or any other type of proceeding and on appeal. These sums shall be due immediately upon notice from Landlord and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (Section 15.8) if not paid within 5 business days after written demand. If proceedings are brought under the Bankruptcy Code which relate to this Lease, Landlord shall be paid the costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the proceedings. 15.4 Damages. Notwithstanding termination of this Lease and reentry by Landlord pursuant to Section 15.1 or Section 15.2, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant: (i) The worth at the time of an award (including interest at the Default Rate) of any unpaid Rent which had been earned by Landlord at the time of termination; plus (ii) The worth at the time of an award (including interest at the Default Rate) of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of an award exceeds the amount of loss of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) The worth at the time of an award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and Additional Rent for the balance of the Term (as extended, if at all prior to termination) exceeds the amount of such loss of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided (including Default Interest from the date of the award until paid). Such worth at the time of award shall be computed at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, or successor Federal Reserve Bank, on the date of termination; plus (iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the damage 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, including amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 15.3. 15.5 Non-Termination of Lease. If Landlord reenters the Premises pursuant to Section 15.1, Landlord may elect, by notice to Tenant, not to terminate this Lease, in which case Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for the loss of Rent by a payment at the end of each month during the remaining Term representing the difference between the Rent due in accordance with this Lease and the rental actually 18 derived from the Premises by Landlord for such month. Without any previous notice or demand, separate actions may be maintained by Landlord against Tenant from time to time to recover any damages which, at the commencement of any action, have then or theretofore become due and payable to Landlord under this Section 15 without waiting until the end of the Term. 15.6 Reletting. If this Lease is terminated as hereinabove provided or by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may at any time and from time to time relet the Premises in whole or in part either in its own name or as agent of Tenant for any period equal to or greater or less than the remainder of the then-current Term. All rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied first to the payment of the costs of the reletting and alterations and repairs; second, to the payment of any amounts other than Base Rent due to Landlord; third, to Rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the residual, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent when it becomes due. 15.7 Right of Landlord to Cure Defaults. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, cure the Event of Default, for the account and at the expense of Tenant, if Tenant has not cured the default within 15 business days' after written notice from Landlord that Landlord intends to take action to cure Tenant's Event of Default; provided, however, such notice need not precede Landlord's payment or action in any circumstance that involves an immediate risk of foreclosure, loss or impairment of any insurance, property damage, personal injury, or enforcement by any governmental entity. Where an Event of Default concerns a release or imminent release of Hazardous Materials, Landlord will not have the ability to exercise self-help if Tenant (a) has previously delivered to Landlord a Hazardous Materials Response Plan (the "Response Plan") which outlines methods and persons reasonably acceptable to Landlord to address, treat, abate, forestall or prevent the release or imminent release of Hazardous Materials; and (b) promptly delivers written notice to Landlord of any release or imminent release of Hazardous Materials along with confirmation that Tenant is complying with the Response Plan. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any third party out of pocket expenses incurred in such cure, with interest accruing pursuant to Section 15.8, as Additional Rent, within 30 days after receipt of Landlord's invoice. 15.8 Default Interest. Any amounts owing from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease which are not paid when due shall bear interest at the greater of (a) 12% per annum or (b) 4% higher than and varying daily with the prime rate quoted by any of the three largest banks in the United States (as measured by assets) or such similar rate that is generally publicly announced by commercial lending institutions as an index for loans to its most credit-worthy customers (said prime rate or similar rate being hereinafter referred to as the "Prime Rate"), in either event calculated from the date due or expended until and including the date of payment (the "Default Rate"). 15.9 Other Available Remedies. At Landlord's election, upon an Event of Default, Landlord may pursue such other amounts or other remedies in addition to or in lieu of any one or more of the specific remedies listed in this Section and no articulation of any remedy shall be construed to be in lieu of any others that may be available to Landlord at law or in equity. 16. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT 16.1 Default. Landlord shall be in default hereunder if Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within 30 business days after receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying such failure; provided that if the nature of the default is such that more than 30 business days are necessary for the cure, Landlord shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary so long as Landlord commences the cure within the cure period and diligently pursues it to completion. Tenant shall not have the right to terminate the Lease due to a Landlord default. 16.2 Limitations on Landlord's Liability. The term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title of the Premises. If Landlord transfers its interest in this Lease other than for security purposes, Landlord shall cause its assignee or transferee to assume the provisions of this Lease and Landlord shall deliver notice of such assignment or transfer and a copy of the effective instrument of transfer to Tenant within 15 business days after the date of transfer. 19 Tenant shall be entitled to continue to pay Rent and give all notices to Landlord until Tenant has received the foregoing from Landlord. Landlord shall deliver all funds in which Tenant has an interest except those which are then in the possession of an insurance or condemnation trustee, including but not limited to Tenant's Security Deposit to Landlord's purchaser or assignee. From and after such transfer, Landlord shall be released from all liability toward Tenant arising from this Lease due to any act, occurrence or omission of Landlord's successors occurring after the transfer of Landlord's interest in this Lease, provided Landlord's purchaser or assignee expressly assumes Landlord's duties and covenants under this Lease subject to the same limitations upon its personal liability as are applicable to Landlord in Section 16.3. Landlord's liability hereunder is limited to the extent agreed upon in Section 16.3 below, and except for Landlord's gross negligence or intentional misconduct, Landlord shall not be liable for any business interruption, property damage or personal injury (including death) sustained by Tenant or any person claiming through Tenant resulting from any accident, casualty, or other event or matter of any kind or nature occurring on or about the Premises and Tenant hereby waives and covenants not to bring any action based upon any claims or losses for which Landlord is not liable as stated above. 16.3 Further Limitations on Landlord's Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT TO THE CONTRARY: (A) LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO TENANT OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (AND TENANT AND EACH SUCH OTHER PERSON ASSUME ALL RISK OF) LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY, WHETHER ACTUAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL TO: ANY TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY OF EVERY KIND AND DESCRIPTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION TRADE FIXTURES, REMOVABLE EQUIPMENT, INVENTORY, SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS, LABORATORY ANIMALS, PRODUCT, SPECIMENS, SAMPLES, AND/OR SCIENTIFIC, BUSINESS, ACCOUNTING AND OTHER RECORDS OF EVERY KIND AND DESCRIPTION KEPT AT THE PREMISES AND ANY AND ALL INCOME DERIVED OR DERIVABLE THEREFROM; (B) TENANT WAIVES ALL CLAIMS FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; (C) THERE SHALL BE NO PERSONAL RECOURSE TO LANDLORD FOR ANY ACT OR OCCURRENCE IN, ON OR ABOUT THE PREMISES OR ARISING IN ANY WAY UNDER THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY LIABILITY OF LANDLORD HEREUNDER SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED SOLELY TO LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE PREMISES AND ANY PROCEEDS FROM SALE, CONDEMNATION THEREOF OR ANY INSURANCE PROCEEDS PAYABLE IN RESPECT OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE PREMISES OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH LOSS AND (D) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY BE ASSERTED AGAINST ANY OF LANDLORD'S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL LANDLORD OR ANY OF LANDLORD'S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS BE LIABLE FOR INJURY TO TENANT'S BUSINESS OR FOR ANY LOSS OF INCOME OR PROFIT THEREFROM. NOTWITHSTANDING THE CONTRARY, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 16.3 WILL LIMIT THE LIABILITY OF THOSE LANDLORD'S CONTRACTORS OR AGENTS WHO EXECUTE A SEPARATE "ACCESS AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT" (SECTION 21.2) DIRECTLY WITH TENANT, AND SUCH AGENTS AND CONTRACTORS' LIABILITY DIRECTLY TO TENANT SHALL BE AS AGREED UPON IN THOSE SEPARATE AGREEMENTS ALTHOUGH IN NO EVENT SHALL TENANT HAVE A CLAIM AGAINST LANDLORD UNDER SUCH SEPARATE AGREEMENT, AS LANDLORD'S LIABILITY FOR THE ACTIONS OF ITS CONTRACTORS AND AGENTS IS LIMITED TO THE EXTENT AGREED UPON IN THIS SECTION 16.3 AND IN SECTION 21.5. 17. LANDLORD'S FINANCING. So long as Tenant's rights of possession to the Premises will not be disturbed in the absence of a Tenant's Event of Default under this Lease, Tenant shall, upon request, enter into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement ("SNDA") with any Landlord mortgagee in the form customarily required by such mortgagee, provided that such form does not require Tenant to adversely modify its rights or obligations under this Lease. Tenant agrees to provide Landlord's ,mortgagees with copies of notices sent to Landlord pursuant to Section15, upon Landlord's request and pursuant to the SNDA. 20 18. TENANT'S FINANCING. Tenant shall not pledge or encumber this Lease or enter into a financing lease and leaseback or comparable financing arrangement. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant regarding any financing by Tenant which encumbers Removable Equipment or other personal property, including the execution of reasonable confirmations regarding the status of this Lease and the extent to which Tenant's lender may have access to the Premises to inspect or remove the Removable Equipment during the term hereof, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord of all of its third party out of pocket costs and expenses, including its attorneys' fees in doing so. Tenant may enter into UCC fixture filings and/or financing statements for its Removable Equipment and other personal property. 19. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES 19.1 Prohibition. Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials (Section 19.8) to be brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in or about, or released or disposed of from, the Premises in violation of applicable Environmental Requirements (as hereinafter defined) by Tenant, its Affiliates and their respective assignees, sublessees, employees, agents or contractors (collectively "Tenant Related Party"). 19.2 Tenant's Indemnity. If Tenant breaches the obligation stated in Section 19.1, or if the presence of any Hazardous Materials in the Premises results in contamination of the Premises prior to or during the Term, any Renewal Term or any holding over by Hazardous Materials brought into, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in or about, or released or disposed of from, the Premises by anyone other than Landlord and Landlord's employees, agents and contractors (collectively the "Relevant Contamination"), Tenant hereby indemnifies and shall defend and hold Landlord, its officers, directors, employees, agents and contractors harmless from any and all actions (including, without limitation, remedial or enforcement actions of any kind, administrative or judicial proceedings, and orders or judgments arising out of or resulting therefrom), costs, claims, damages (including, without limitation, punitive damages and damages based upon diminution in value of the Premises or the loss of, or restriction on, use of the Premises), expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys', consultants' and experts' fees, court costs and amounts paid in settlement of any claims or actions), fines, forfeitures or other civil, administrative or criminal penalties, injunctive or other relief (whether or not based upon personal injury, property damage, or contamination of, or adverse effects upon, the environment, water tables or natural resources), liabilities or losses (collectively, "Environmental Claims") which arise prior to, during or after the Term as a result of Relevant Contamination. This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, treatment, remediation, removal, or restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental authority because of Hazardous Materials present in the air, soil or ground water above, on, or under the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Premises or any adjacent property caused or permitted by Tenant or any Tenant Related Party results in the Relevant Contamination of the Premises or any adjacent property, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense and in accordance with applicable Environmental Requirements as are necessary to return the Premises or any adjacent property to the condition existing prior to the time of such contamination, provided that Landlord's approval of such action shall first be obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such actions would not potentially have any material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the Premises. The foregoing obligations include all Historic Contamination present on the Premises, but subject to the limitations contained in Section 19.10(b) and(c) below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this Section 19, (a) for claims relating to Relevant Contamination of property adjacent to the Premises, Tenant's obligations under this Section 19.2 are limited to any clean up requirement imposed by a governmental entity; and (b) in no event shall Tenant's obligations in this Section 19 include any Hazardous Materials releases to the extent they are caused by Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors. 19.3 Tenant's Business. Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Section to prohibit Tenant from using the Premises pursuant to the Use Requirements. Tenant may operate its business according to prudent industry practices so long as the use or presence of Hazardous Materials is strictly and properly monitored according to all applicable Environmental Requirements. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date copies of Tenant's current Hazardous Materials 21 reports, which list each type of Hazardous Materials currently present at the Premises and thereafter to annually provide Landlord with copies of updated reports to incorporate any additional Hazardous Materials which Tenant has brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated on or released or disposed of from the Premises during the past year, along with copies of citations, claims of noncompliance or liability, Remediation Plans relating to Hazardous Materials, if any and Hazardous Materials assessments provided by third parties, if any. Landlord agrees that Tenant's annual delivery of reports Tenant has prepared and delivered to governmental entities to comply with Environmental Requirements reporting requirements will satisfy this Section 19.3 and specifically, Landlord agrees that either the HMIS (Hazardous Material Inventory Statement) Report submitted to the Seattle Fire Department or the Dangerous Waste Annual Report filed with the Washington State Department of Ecology, satisfy this reporting requirement. To the extent not included in any other written report given by Tenant to Landlord, and reasonably requested by Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of permits and permit applications relating to Hazardous Materials at the Premises. To the extent reasonably requested by Landlord, Tenant will summarily explain requested matters regarding information provided to Landlord by Tenant under this Section 19.3. Tenant is not required, to include in the annual Hazardous Materials reports information of a proprietary nature. It is not the intent of this Section to provide Landlord with proprietary information which could be detrimental to Tenant's business should such information become possessed by Tenant's competitors. 19.4 Tenant's Representations and Warranties. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that as of the Effective Date, except as related to 1150 Eastlake Ave. East in Seattle and as disclosed in Property Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and except for the Historic Contamination (i) Tenant has not been required by any prior landlord, lender or governmental authority at any time to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating any property which contamination was permitted by Tenant or its predecessors or resulted from Tenant's or its predecessors' action or use of the Premises, and (ii) Tenant is not subject to any enforcement order for any property issued by any governmental authority in connection with the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, any order related to the failure to make a required reporting to any governmental authority). 19.5 Testing. Subject to the terms of Section 21.5, Landlord shall have the right to conduct annual tests and examinations of the Premises, at Landlord's sole expense, to determine whether any contamination of the Premises or on the Premises has occurred as a result of Tenant's use. Tenant shall be required to pay Landlord's third-party out of pocket expenses relating to such annual test or examination of the Premises only if such test or examination discloses unreported Relevant Contamination for which Tenant is liable pursuant to Section 19.2. If Tenant conducts its own tests of the Premises, at Tenant's expense, using third party contractors and test procedures reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and the tests are certified to Landlord, Landlord shall accept such tests in lieu of Landlord's annual tests. Landlord's right to conduct Hazardous Materials testing of the Premises at all other times to determine if contamination has occurred as a result of Tenant's use of the Premises shall be governed by Sections 15.7 and 21. In connection with Landlord's Hazardous Materials testing or examination, upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such non-proprietary information concerning the use of Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Related Party. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of all third party, non-confidential reports and tests of the Premises made by or on behalf of Landlord during the Term without representation or warranty and subject to a confidentiality agreement. If necessary and pursuant to Section 15.7 and a Response Plan referenced therein, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and satisfactorily remediate any environmental conditions identified by such testing in accordance with all Environmental Requirements. Landlord's receipt of or satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights which Landlord may have against Tenant. 19.6 Underground Tanks. Tenant will not install underground storage tanks storing Hazardous Materials on the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's advance written consent, which will be given or withheld at Landlord's sole discretion. If Tenant is permitted to install underground storage tanks, it shall install, use, monitor, operate, maintain, upgrade and manage such storage tanks, maintain appropriate records, obtain and maintain appropriate insurance, implement reporting 22 procedures, properly close any underground storage tanks, and take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary or required under applicable state and federal Environmental Requirements, as such now exists or may hereafter be adopted or amended in connection with the installation, use, maintenance, management, operation, upgrading and closure of such underground storage tanks. 19.7 Tenant's Obligations. Tenant's obligations under this Section 19 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. During any period of time after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease required by Tenant or Landlord to complete the removal from the Premises of any Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, the release and termination of any licenses or permits restricting the use of the Premises and the completion of a surrender plan reasonably approved by Landlord), Tenant shall continue to pay the pro-rata Rent as reasonably adjusted to reflect the differential rental values of different portions of the Premises, in accordance with this Lease for that portion of the Premises which cannot be relet by Landlord due to and during such clean up, provided such Rent shall be pro-rated daily and provided further that Tenant's obligation to pay the pro-rated Rent under this Section 19.7 is conditioned on Tenant having full access to such portion of the Premises. 19.8 Definitions. As used herein, the term "Environmental Requirements" means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, judgments, orders or other similar enactments of any governmental authority regulating or relating to health, safety, or environmental conditions on, under, or about the Premises, or the environment, including without limitation, the following: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and all state and local counterparts thereto, and any regulations or policies promulgated or issued thereunder. As used herein, the term "Hazardous Materials" means and includes any substance, material, waste, pollutant, or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic, or regulated by reason of its impact or potential impact on humans, animals and/or the environment under any Environmental Requirements, asbestos and petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas) and Stacchybotris chartarum and other toxic molds. As defined in Environmental Requirements, Tenant is and shall be deemed to be the "operator" of Tenant's "facility" and the "owner" of all Hazardous Materials brought on the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Related Party, and the wastes, by-products, or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom. 19.9 Notice to Landlord. To the extent that Tenant or Landlord has actual knowledge thereof, such party shall promptly provide notice to the other of any of the following matters: (i) any proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by any governmental authority, against Tenant or Landlord, with respect to the presence, suspected presence, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials on or from the Premises; (ii) all written notices of any pending or threatened claims or citations regarding Hazardous Materials on the Premises or released from the Premises; (iii) all written notices given to or received from the City of Seattle in connection with the Development Agreement or to or from the Landmarks Preservation Board in connection with the condition or use of the Premises; (iv) the discovery of any occurrence or condition on the Premises, or written notice received by Tenant of an occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Premises, which reasonably could be expected to lead to the Premises or any portion thereof being in violation of Environmental Requirements or which might subject Landlord to any claim alleging potential liability arising out of (A) the presence, or release into the environment, of any Hazardous Materials at the Premises, or (B) circumstances forming the basis of any violation, or alleged violation, of any Environmental Requirement; and (v) the commencement, nature, extent and completion of any remedial work. 23 19.10 Historical Contamination. (a) In connection with Tenant's acquisition of the Premises, Tenant and the City entered into the Development Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Section 19.10 which are not defined in this Lease shall have the definitions set forth in the Development Agreement. This Section 19.10 expressly modifies Section 19.2 for those Hazardous Materials which are defined as Historic Contamination in the Development Agreement. In addition to the indemnities provided by Tenant pursuant to Section 19.2 above, until and unless Tenant obtains from the City consent to the assignment of the Development Agreement to Landlord in which the City acknowledges Landlord is a successor to Tenant's rights thereunder, confirms that Tenant is not in default under the Development Agreement, and does not contain any requirement for Landlord to assume any obligations thereunder ("City Confirmation"), Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its agents and employees, harmless from and against any claims, costs (including attorneys' fees and other litigation costs) and damages arising from the failure of the City of Seattle to perform it's obligations relating to the remediation of Historic Contamination pursuant to the Development Agreement. (b) From and after the date Tenant obtains the City Confirmation in the form described herein, or such other confirmation of assignment from the City which Landlord accepts, Landlord agrees to first pursue its rights under the Development Agreement before seeking recovery against Tenant for matters related to Historic Contamination, except that Tenant may be named in or joined to any such action by Landlord to the extent such joinder is compulsory or is otherwise required for Landlord to preserve all of its rights against Tenant. It is the parties' intent that Tenant's obligations in Section 19.10(a) above shall only be obviated by this Section 19.10(b) to the extent of the City's performance. (c) Tenant's obligations and indemnities in Sections 19.10(a) and (b) above shall not apply to the extent that Landlord or Landlord's Related Parties actions or failures to act cause the City to be exonerated from liability or performance of its obligations under the Development Agreement. 20. FIRST OFFER. Tenant shall have a "Right of First Offer" if Landlord elects to market or sell the Premises to an unrelated third party. In such event, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a notice in writing of its intention to sell, setting forth the terms under which Landlord is prepared to sell the Premises. Tenant shall have 30 days to notify Landlord in writing whether it wishes to purchase the Premises on the proposed terms. If Landlord's notice states that its affiliate also intends to sell the Earl Davie Building property also leased by Tenant, Tenant will be required to purchase both unless Landlord and its affiliate specifically provides a single building alternative. If Tenant notifies Landlord that it wishes to purchase the applicable property (the "Sale Property") on the terms and conditions stated in Landlord's notice, the parties will negotiate in good faith for 30 days to reach agreement on a purchase and sale agreement. In the event that Tenant does not notify Landlord of its intent to purchase the Sale Property or the parties are unable to reach an agreement on a purchase and sale agreement within the prescribed time frames, Landlord shall be free to sell the Sale Property to any third party on such terms and conditions that Landlord finds acceptable. If Landlord does not transfer ownership of the Sale Property within 18 months of its original notice to Tenant, Tenant's Right of First Offer shall be reinstated. If Landlord does transfer ownership within 18 months of its original notice to Tenant to any unrelated third party, Tenant's Right of First Offer shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect for that or any subsequent sale of any property demised by this Lease or the Earl Davie Building Lease. All of Tenant's rights under this Section are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned, pledged or transferred to any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such rights may be assigned or transferred to Tenant's Affiliate (Section 13.2). Tenant also agrees that its rights provided for in this Section shall not apply (a) so long as any Event of Default exists hereunder at the time Landlord's notice was otherwise required to be given to Tenant, in which event Landlord may proceed to negotiate and consummate a sale free of such right, (b) to any lease, mortgage or encumbrance of the Premises or other transfer of less than fee simple title thereto or any portion thereof, (c) to any transfer of any kind of any portion or all of the membership interests in Landlord, or (d) to any conveyance of the Premises or any portion thereof to (i) any entity that controls, is controlled by or under the common control with Landlord or any of their respective affiliates, or (ii) any entity in condemnation or in lieu of condemnation, or (iii) any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or deed in lieu of a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure, and Tenant's right of first offer shall automatically 24 terminate with respect to the Premises or any portion thereof which are conveyed pursuant to part (ii) or (iii) of this Section. 21. ACCESS BY LANDLORD 21.1 Access. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 21, Tenant shall permit Landlord and its employees and authorized agents, consultants, contractors, and representatives (with Landlord, the "Landlord Representatives") to enter upon the Premises during normal business hours to inspect, examine, and show the Premises for lease (during the last 12 months of the Term), financing or sale, or to cure an Event of Default pursuant to Section 15.7 (generally, "Inspections"); provided, however, Landlord may enter the Premises during other hours when it is reasonably necessary to either address an emergency or an Event of Default. This right specifically excludes the right to obtain proprietary information relating to Tenant's business operations. Hazardous Materials tests and responses are specifically limited by Sections 15.7 and 19.5. 21.2 Conditions to Entry. At least 2 business days prior to entering the Premises or conducting any Inspections, Landlord shall (a) give Tenant oral or written notice of the times and dates it wishes to do so, (b) make arrangements with Tenant to have the Landlord Representatives to be accompanied by a representative of Tenant ("Tenant's Representative"), and (c) cause each Landlord Representative (other than the Landlord) accessing the Premises to sign an "Access and Confidentiality Agreement" in the form attached as Exhibit C or such other form reasonably acceptable to Tenant. The advance notice agreed upon shall apply in emergencies and following a default; provided that Tenant promptly delivers to Landlord reasonable assurances that such emergency or default is being adequately and diligently addressed (and for Hazardous Materials, so long as Tenant delivers and confirms compliance with its Response Plan). All Inspections shall be in accordance with all applicable Laws and regulations. Tenant agrees to make reasonable efforts to cause Tenant's Representatives to be available for such purposes during normal business hours. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have no liability for any breach of an Access and Confidentiality Agreement by anyone other than Landlord except to the extent of Landlord's indemnity set forth in Section 21.5 below. 21.3 Inspection Costs. Except for any salary to be paid to Tenant's Representatives or as otherwise stated in this Lease or when necessitated by an Event of Default, Landlord shall bear the cost of all Inspections. 21.4 Inspection Obligations. (a) In conducting any Inspections, Landlord Representatives shall: (i) not materially interfere with the use of the Premises by any occupant; (ii) not materially interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Premises or any construction on the Premises; (iii) not damage any part of the Premises or personal property located at the Premises; (iv) not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to any Tenant's Representative or any other person or entity or their respective employees, agents, contractors, representatives, guests, or invitees; (iv) at Tenant's request, provide Tenant with complete and accurate copies of all of the third-party reports and assessments of the Premises that are not proprietary to Landlord (collectively "Inspection Reports"); and (v) provide Tenant with copies of any Inspection Reports which provide information relating to Tenant's obligations under this Lease. No Landlord Representative will conduct any invasive Inspections which damage the Premises, unless such Inspections are (1) otherwise permitted by this Lease, (2) required by any governmental entity, (3) subject to Section 21.2, and except as restricted under Section 15.7, reasonably necessary in connection with a release or potential release of Hazardous Materials or there exists a reasonable belief that Environmental Requirements have been violated and such access and testing is conducted only by Landlord Representatives who are appropriately qualified as experts; or (4) are otherwise reasonably necessary and Landlord has first obtained Tenant's consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. For Inspections relating to Hazardous Materials, the terms of Section 19.5 shall also apply. If the Premises are damaged during an Inspection, Landlord will immediately repair such damage and restore the Premises, pursuant to Section 21.5 below. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any such report or assessment or the suitability thereof for use by any person other than Landlord. 25 (b) Landlord and all Landlord Related Parties, including their respective partners, members, officers, directors, and attorneys will treat as confidential the information disclosed to them by Tenant or discovered on account of or pursuant to Landlord's Inspections (which information is disclosed orally, in writing or in visual or electronic form, and including any observations, knowledge, information, reports (written or oral), tests, or studies (together with the results of such studies and tests) obtained by or provided to Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties regarding the Premises, whether in connection with the Inspections, or otherwise, but shall not include information known by Landlord or Landlord Related Parties prior to any disclosures by Tenant or any Inspections or any other information that is generally known or available to the public) (the "Information"), giving it at least the same care as Landlord's own confidential information, and make no use of any such Information except in connection with (a) verifying Tenant's compliance with the terms of this Lease, (b) disclosing the condition of the Premises in connection with a sale, financing or lease of the Premises, or (c) to the extent required by court or legal requirements (which may include SEC regulations, NYSE and NASDAQ requirements). In addition, and except as required by applicable law, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall make or agree to any press releases in which the other party is identified without the prior written consent of the other party, and when such consent is given, the information disclosed and the persons to whom it is disclosed shall be limited to such releases. To the extent that the terms, provisions, and obligations of this Section 21, are inconsistent with the other provisions of this Lease, the terms of this Section 21 will control, but subject to limitations stated in Section 16.3. This Section 21.4(b) is not applicable to any Landlord Related Party who is also a Landlord Representative (Section 21.2) who executes a Access and Confidentiality Agreement pursuant to Section 21.2. 21.5 Indemnification and Repair. Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Tenant), and hold Tenant and its officers, directors, successors, and assigns harmless from and against any and all liens, claims, causes of action, liabilities, demands, suits, obligations, losses, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) (generally, "Damages") including without limitation Damages for any actual physical damage to the Premises or any injury to persons, all to the extent caused by or in connection with the entry onto the Premises by a Landlord Representative or an act of a Landlord Representative in connection with the Inspections; provided, however, that Landlord's indemnity hereunder shall be limited to actual, direct damages only and shall not include (a) any consequential damages, or (b) any damages to the extent resulting from (i) the acts or omissions of any Tenant's Representative, or (ii) the discovery of any condition of the Premises that existed prior to Landlord's entry thereon (a "Pre-Existing Condition"), except that such indemnity shall apply to the extent, and only to the extent, such Pre-Existing Condition is directly exacerbated, aggravated, or worsened by the entry onto the Premises by an Landlord Representative or an act of an Landlord Representative in connection with the Inspections. In addition, Landlord shall promptly repair any physical damage to the Premises caused by any Landlord Representative (including without limitation damage relating to an Inspection) and shall promptly restore the Premises to the condition in which it existed prior to such entry; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to repair any damage caused by the acts or omissions of any Tenant's Representative or to remediate, remove, contain, abate, or control any Pre-Existing Condition, except to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to restore the Pre-Existing Condition to the condition in which it existed prior to such entry. As an example only, if a Landlord Representative should cause a limited and confined release of asbestos while taking a sample of ceiling materials within the Premises, Landlord's sole obligation would be to remove, control and abate any released asbestos, indemnify and defend Tenant for any personal injury Damages claimed relating to the release, and to re-seal the ceiling materials where the sample was taken; Landlord would have no further obligation to remediate, remove, contain, abate, control, or take any further action whatsoever with respect to the asbestos contained in the sampled or any other ceiling materials. Landlord's obligations under this Section 21 shall survive termination of the Lease; provided that Tenant will only have two years from the expiration or termination of this Lease to commence an action against Landlord under this Section. 21.6 Building Signage. Landlord hereby agrees not to modify or require any changes to the current signage at the Premises, and further agrees that during the Term, Tenant shall have the sole right to designate the name of the Premises', but subject to Landlord's consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld (e.g., the Tenant's name on the Steam Stacks). Tenant's right under this Section 21.6 are 26 personal to Tenant and Tenant may not Transfer (Section 13.1) such rights, except to Tenant's Affiliates (Section 13.2). 22. CONTESTS 22.1 Notice. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Lease which require Tenant pay certain amounts to third parties ("Third Party Payments") on or before the date due (Sections 3.4, 4.3 and 6), Tenant shall not be required to (i) pay any Third Party Amounts, (ii) comply with any Law, or (iii) discharge or remove any lien arising out of Tenant, so long as Tenant contests, in good faith and at its expense, the existence, the amount or the applicability or validity thereof, and by appropriate proceedings so long as during the pendency thereof Tenant takes any necessary steps to prevent (A) the collection of, or other realization upon, the claim so contested, (B) the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Premises, or the Rent to satisfy the same, (C) any interference with the use or occupancy of any of the Premises, and (D) the cancellation of any insurance Tenant is required to carry pursuant to Section 9. 22.2 Conditions. In no event shall Tenant pursue any contest in such manner that exposes Landlord to (i) criminal liability, penalty or sanction, or (ii) defeasance of its interest in the Premises. 22.3 Hold Harmless. Tenant agrees that each contest shall be promptly and diligently prosecuted to a final conclusion, except that Tenant shall have the right to attempt to settle or compromise such contest through negotiations; provided that if such contest is not concluded and all amounts for which Tenant is liable are not paid prior to the expiration of this Lease, then Tenant agrees that its obligation to diligently pursue or settle such contest and its liability for such unpaid amounts shall survive the expiration of this Lease. Tenant shall pay and save Landlord harmless against any and all losses, judgments, decrees and costs (including all attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with any such contest and shall, promptly after the final determination of such contest, fully pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or be determined to be payable therein or in connection therewith, together with all penalties, fines, interest, costs and expenses thereof or in connection therewith, and perform all acts the performance of which shall be ordered or decreed as a result thereof. 23. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Each party shall at any time and from time to time upon not less than 20 days written notice from the other and without charge, execute and deliver to the other an estoppel certificate in the form of Exhibit J. 24. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED 25. PARKING FOR EARL DAVIE BUILDING. During the Term, Landlord grants to the tenant under the Earl Davie Building Lease (the "EDB Tenant") the right to utilize up to 49 parking stalls at the Premises which have been specifically covenanted and reserved for the EDB Tenant; provided that the EDB Tenant shall make commercially reasonable efforts to minimize or eliminate the need for the EDB Tenant to utilize such parking. 26. CROSS DEFAULTS. At Tenant's option, Landlord (or its affiliate) and Tenant may be parties to a $3,000,000 line of credit loan ("Line of Credit Loan") which will be documented by the forms attached to the fourth amendment to the Purchase Agreement, with such forms executed upon Tenant's election to draw on the Line of Credit Loan. Regardless of the actual date of execution of the Line of Credit Loan documents, the maturity date thereunder shall be five years from the Effective Date. As provided in Section 15.2, any Event of Default under the Line of Credit Loan or the Earl Davie Building Lease (Section 15.2) shall be an Event of Default hereunder and any default under this Lease shall be a default under the Earl Davie Building Lease and the Line of Credit Loan. 27 27.

"Control Account" means the account established by Tenant in its name at _________________ or such other brokerage firm or bank as Landlord may reasonably approve, which account is subject to the terms and conditions of the Control Account Agreement. "Control Account Agreement" means the "Security, Custodian and Control Account Agreement" in substantially the form of EXHIBIT A hereto, which is entered into with respect to the Control Account. "Event of Default" has the meaning specified in Section 8. "Lease" means the "Lease" between Tenant and Landlord dated ______________, 2002, as now or hereafter amended, relating to_____________ [street address], Seattle, Washington. "Market Value" means, as of any date of determination, the market value of the Collateral Securities then held in the Control Account, as reflected, at Landlord's option, as of the end of a business day in the Wall Street Journal or other any nationally recognized business publication of similar stature containing the current bid and asked prices for securities traded on a major exchange in the United States or on the most recently monthly account statement delivered to Landlord and Tenant pursuant to the Control Account Agreement. 2. Purpose This Agreement is for the purpose of securing the prompt payment and performance in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of Tenant's obligations (the "Obligations") with respect to the security deposit (the "Security Deposit") that are detailed in Section 7 of the Lease. The amount of the Security Deposit which is to be covered by the Collateral described in this Agreement is $______________ and is referred to herein as the "Required Balance." 3. Collateral Securities As collateral for the Obligations throughout the term of the Lease, Tenant will pledge to Landlord, and grant Landlord, a perfected, first priority security interest in, Collateral Securities held in the Control E-1 Account with a Market Value at all times equal to the Required Balance. A list of the initial Collateral Securities pledged by Tenant and held in the Control Account is attached to this Agreement as EXHIBIT B. 4. Control Account Subject to the terms of the Agreement and the Control Account Agreement, the Collateral Securities pledged by Tenant pursuant to this Agreement shall at all times be held in the Control Account. The maintenance, disposition and transfer of the Control Account and all Collateral Securities held therein shall at all times be subject to the terms of the Agreement and the Control Account Agreement. 5. Grant of Perfected First Lien Security Interest Throughout the term of the Lease, as security for the Obligations, Tenant hereby delivers, pledges, grants, transfers, assigns and sets over to Landlord, and hereby grants to Landlord a continuing perfected first lien security interest in, the following (the "Collateral"): (a) All Collateral Securities, cash and other assets held in the Control Account; (b) The Control Account; (c) All securities entitlements and financial assets relating to the foregoing; and (d) All proceeds and products of any of the foregoing held in the Control Account. 6. Consent Rights, Trading Rights and Payments in Respect of the Collateral (a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant shall be entitled (i) to exercise (but not in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement or the Control Account Agreement) all consent or other voting rights with respect to the Collateral Securities, (ii) to receive and retain all regularly scheduled payments of interest or dividends in respect of the Collateral Securities or (iii) to substitute at any time during the term of the Lease the Collateral Securities with other Collateral Securities, provided Landlord obtains a perfected first priority security interest in the substitute Collateral Securities prior to the release of the pledged Collateral Securities and provided that Market Value of all Collateral Securities after the substitution is equal to or greater than the Required Balance. Upon such substitution, release and withdrawal of such released assets from the Control Account, such released assets will no longer be subject to a security interest in favor of Landlord and, unless subsequently re-deposited into the Control Account, will no longer be "Collateral": within the meaning of this Agreement. (b) If an Event of Default (as defined in the Lease) has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall be entitled (i) to exercise all consent or other voting rights with respect to the Collateral Securities, (ii) to any and all rights of sale, conversion, exchange, subscription, withdrawal and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Collateral as if Landlord were the absolute owner thereof and (iii) to receive and retain, as additional Collateral hereunder, any and all interest, dividends or other payments at any time and from time to time paid on the Collateral; provided, however, that prior to any exercise by Landlord of any of the preceding rights with respect to the Collateral Securities, Landlord agrees to provide Tenant 3 business days' prior written notice of its intent to exercise its rights to the Collateral. (c) Any principal amount at any time paid in respect of the Collateral Securities (whether at the acceleration thereof, as a scheduled or mandatory sinking fund payment, in redemption or prepayment thereof or at the maturity thereof) shall constitute part of the Collateral and shall be held in the Control Account until reinvested as provided in the Collateral Account Agreement. If for any reason Tenant should receive any such payment of principal in respect of the Collateral Securities, Tenant shall receive and hold the same in trust, for the benefit of Landlord, and shall promptly deposit such payment (or, at Tenant's option, substitute Collateral Securities) in the Control Account. E-2 7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants by Tenant (a) Tenant represents that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not violate any agreement to which it is bound or any law or regulation applicable to Tenant, and that it has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. (b) Tenant represents that it is the sole beneficial owner of the Collateral Securities and the proceeds thereof free and clear of any security interest or other encumbrance other than the first priority security interest created favor of Landlord pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement and Tenant will not create or permit to exist any other security interest or other encumbrance against the Collateral. Tenant further represents, except as permitted under this Agreement and the Control Account Agreement, that for the term of this Agreement it will not sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral Securities. (c) Tenant represents that this Agreement and delivery of the Collateral into the Collateral Account creates a valid, perfected, and first priority security interest in the Collateral in favor of Landlord, and all actions necessary to achieve such perfection have been duly taken. (d) Tenant represents that this Agreement and delivery of the substitute Collateral Securities into the Collateral Account pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 6(a) will create a valid, perfected, and first priority security interest in the substitute Collateral in favor of Landlord, and all actions necessary to achieve such perfection, upon delivery to the Custodian, will have been duly taken. (e) Tenant at all times will cause the Control Agreement to remain in full force and effect and will cause the Collateral Securities to be held in the Control Account. (f) Upon demand by Landlord, Tenant will permit inspection of the Collateral Securities by Landlord. (f) Tenant at all times will cause the Market Value of Collateral Securities held in the Control Account to equal or exceed the Required Balance. If, at any time, the Market Value of Collateral Securities held in the Control Account is less than the Required Balance, Tenant shall immediately cause to be deposited in the Control Account additional Collateral Securities with a Market Value sufficient to cause the aggregate Market Value of all Collateral Securities then held in the Collateral Account to equal or exceed the Required Balance. 8. Liability Tenant shall indemnify the financial institution party to the Control Account Agreement for any and all costs and expenses, and attorney's fees and court costs, which directly result from any sale of Collateral Securities and the withdrawal of the settlement proceeds thereof (not to exceed the amount of the Security Deposit Amount) authorized by Landlord to fulfill any of Tenant's Obligations; provided, however, that nothing in this indemnification provision shall operate or be construed to limit Tenant's rights against Landlord under the terms of the Lease or Landlord's rights against Tenant thereunder. Tenant shall indemnify and defend, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Landlord's right, title and first priority security interest in the Collateral and Substitute Collateral. After Landlord delivers a Notice of Exclusive Control to the financial institution party to the Control Account Agreement, (a) Landlord may liquidate or sell all or any part of the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner and whether or not the value of any of the Collateral is rising, falling or holding, and (b) Landlord is not required to exercise any right, option or privilege arising from or relating to the Collateral. The provisions of this section shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement or any determination that this Agreement or any portion is void or voidable. E-3 9. Assignment and Amendment (a) This Agreement may not be amended without the prior written consent of both parties. (b) This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that: (i) Landlord may, at any time, and without notice to or the necessity of obtaining Tenant's consent, assign to any financial institution providing a loan to Landlord in connection with the property subject of the Lease (together with any such financial institution's successors or assigns, the "Lender") all of its rights under, and interest in, this Agreement. Within one (1) business day after making any such assignment, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of the assignment and a copy of the instrument of assignment. Upon receipt by Tenant of the aforementioned notice, Lender shall thereafter succeed to all of the rights and privileges of Landlord and shall be subject to the same obligations, terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to Landlord under the terms of this Agreement, provided that after Lender sends Custodian a Lender Notice of Exclusive Control pursuant to Section 10(b) of the Control Account Agreement, Lender shall also be subject to the same obligations (including indemnification obligations arising from and after the date of the Lender Notice of Exclusive Control) as Landlord. Lender will not be liable for any act, omission or breach by Landlord of any obligation under this Agreement or the Control Account Agreement which occurs prior to the date of the Lender Notice of Exclusive Control and will, upon any sale or transfer by Lender of its interest in the property and the Lease, automatically be released and discharged from any and all liability thereafter accruing under this Agreement or the Control Account Agreement; and (ii) If Landlord assigns its interest in the Lease, whether voluntarily or through involuntary assignment or transfer such as bankruptcy or foreclosure, such assignment will automatically and without further action or notice to Tenant, cause an assignment of Landlord's rights in this Agreement and the Collateral to the assignee and upon the assignee's assumption of Landlord's obligations under the Lease (including Landlord's obligations with respect to this Agreement and the Collateral), Landlord will thereafter accrue no further liability for the return of the Collateral. Upon request of either party, Landlord and Tenant agree to execute such documents as may be necessary or desirable to reflect or better confirm such assignment, assumption and/or release. 10. Waivers A waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision or of any other provision hereof. Failure of either party to enforce at any time or from time to time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver thereof. 11. Severability Each provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable from the others so that if any provision or term hereof is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions and terms hereof. 12. Governing Law: Successors Bound This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Washington, determined without regard to conflicts of law. Subject to all the terms and provisions hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Each party hereto consents to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Washington and of the United States of America located in King County, Washington for any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each party further waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in such courts, and further agrees E-4 not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 13. Notices All notices must be in writing and must be sent by personal delivery, United States registered or certified mail (postage prepaid) or by an independent overnight courier service, addressed to the addresses specified below or at such other place which is not a post office box as either party may designate to the other party by written notice given in accordance with this section.

C. Securities Intermediary, Customer and Secured Party are entering into this Agreement in order to perfect Secured Party's security interest in the Account by means of control. AGREEMENT: In consideration of the foregoing recitals, Securities Intermediary, Customer and Secured Party hereby agree as follows: 1.

Upon receipt of a fully executed and acknowledged Notice of Exclusive Control, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A, Securities Intermediary will comply with all entitlement orders originated by Secured Party with respect to the Collateral, or any portion of the Collateral, without further consent by Customer. 3. Securities Intermediary hereby represents and warrants (a) that the records of Securities Intermediary show that Customer is the sole owner of the Collateral, (b) that Securities Intermediary has not been served with any notice of levy or received any notice of any security interest in or other claim to the Collateral, or any portion of the Collateral, other than Secured Party's claim pursuant to this Agreement, and (c) that Securities Intermediary is not presently obligated to accept any entitlement order from any person with respect to the Collateral, except for entitlement orders that Securities Intermediary is obligated to accept from Secured Party under this Agreement and entitlement orders that Securities Intermediary, subject to the provisions of Section 5 below, is obligated to accept from Customer. F-1 4. Without the prior written consent of Secured Party, Securities Intermediary will not enter into any agreement by which Securities Intermediary agrees to comply with any entitlement order of any person other than Secured Party or, subject to the provisions of Section 5 below, Customer, with respect to any portion or all of the Collateral.

Securities Intermediary shall not terminate the Account, and shall not permit Customer to terminate the Account, without Secured Party's prior written consent. 10. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until Securities Intermediary receives written notice of its termination given by Secured Party. 11. Securities Intermediary and Customer hereby agree that any property held in the Account shall be treated as a financial asset under such section of the Commercial Code as corresponds with Section 8-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code, notwithstanding any contrary provision of any other agreement to which Securities Intermediary may be a party. 12. Securities Intermediary is hereby authorized and instructed, and hereby agrees, to send to Secured Party at its address set forth in Section 18 below, concurrently with the sending thereof to Customer, duplicate copies of any and all monthly Account statements or reports issued or F-2 sent to Customer with respect to the Account.

This Agreement does not create any obligation or duty on the part of Securities Intermediary other than those expressly set forth herein. Secured Party and Customer hereby acknowledge that Securities Intermediary has no obligation to monitor the value of the Collateral for Secured Party or Customer. 14. Secured Party and Customer hereby agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless Securities Intermediary from and against any and all losses, liabilities, demands, claims, expenses and attorneys' fees which Securities Intermediary may incur or suffer if all or any portion of the Collateral is found to be fraudulent in nature or otherwise worthless or invalid for any reason excepting only such losses, liabilities, demands, claims, expenses and attorneys' fees which result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Securities Intermediary. 15. Any forbearance or failure or delay by Secured Party in exercising any right hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver thereof and any single or partial exercise of any right shall not preclude the further exercise thereof. This Agreement may be amended only in writing signed by all parties hereto. 16. Notwithstanding the terms of any other agreement, the parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall be governed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of California and, for purposes of this Agreement, such state shall be deemed to be Securities Intermediary's jurisdiction. 17.

Each of the parties shall concurrently identify in writing, an Initial Appraiser selected and retained by such party and specifically identify such Initial Appraiser's name, address, phone number and qualifications as an appraiser. Within five (5) days after the parties have designated their Initial Appraisers, each of Landlord and Tenant shall direct, in writing with a copy to the other party, its Initial Appraiser to work with the other party's Initial Appraiser to endeavor to determine and reach agreement upon the Fair Market Value of the Premises (including the land and the improvements), considered as encumbered by this Lease and its extensions, and considered as not having been the subject of a casualty or condemnation, as applicable, and thereafter to deliver in writing to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days (such 30-day period, the "Valuation Period") the agreed-upon Fair Market Value (the "Valuation Notice"). The costs and expenses of each Initial Appraiser shall be paid by the party selecting such Initial Appraiser. If Tenant fails to identify in writing an Initial Appraiser as required by this Exhibit, Landlord shall identify an Initial Appraiser on behalf of Tenant; provided, however, Tenant shall be liable for the costs and expenses of such Initial Appraiser identified on Tenant's behalf by Landlord as if Tenant had selected such Initial Appraiser. (b) If the Initial Appraisers are not able to reach agreement upon the Fair Market Value within the Valuation Period, within ten (10) days after the end of the Valuation Period each Initial Appraiser shall deliver a written notice to Landlord, Tenant, and the other Initial Appraiser setting forth (i) such Initial Appraiser's valuation of the Fair Market Value (each, an "Initial Valuation") and (ii) the name, address and qualifications of a third appraiser selected jointly by the Initial Appraisers (the "Third Appraiser"). The Initial Appraisers shall, in writing with a copy to Landlord and Tenant, direct the Third Appraiser (or substitute Third Appraiser) to determine a valuation of the Fair Market Value of the Premises (including the land and the improvements), considered as encumbered by this Lease and its extensions, and considered as not having been the subject of a casualty or condemnation, as applicable, and to deliver in writing to Landlord, Tenant and the Initial Appraisers such valuation (the "Third Valuation") within twenty (20) days of the date of the written direction retaining such Third Appraiser. The Fair Market Value shall be the arithmetic mean of (A) the Third Valuation and (B) the Initial Valuation closer to the Third Valuation. If the Third Valuation is exactly between the two Initial Valuations, then the Fair Market Value shall be the Third Valuation. If the Initial Appraisers are unable to agree upon the designation of a Third Appraiser within the requisite time period or if the Third Appraiser selected does not make a valuation of the Fair Market Value within twenty (20) days after being directed by the Initial Appraisers, then such Third Appraiser or a substitute Third Appraiser, as applicable, shall, at the request of Landlord or Tenant, be appointed by the President or Chairman of the American Arbitration Association in the area in which the Premises exist which is the subject of the fair market valuation determination determined hereunder. The costs and expenses of the Third Appraiser (and substitute Third Appraiser and the American Arbitration Association, if applicable) shall be divided evenly between, and paid for by, Landlord and Tenant. (c) All appraisers selected or appointed pursuant to this Exhibit shall be independent qualified appraisers and shall be, at a minimum, MAI real estate appraisers with at least 7 years experience in appraising real property used for comparable "wet science" biological laboratory L-1 and research and development facilities or such similar uses to which the parties agree. Such appraisers shall have no right, power or authority to alter or modify the provisions of this Lease, and such appraisers shall determine the Fair Market Value of the Premises, as applicable, considered as encumbered by this Lease including assuming all Extension Terms have been exercised by Tenant and considered as not having been the subject of a casualty or condemnation, as applicable. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant are able to agree upon a Fair Market Value of the Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an agreement setting forth such agreed-upon Fair Market Value of the Premises, as applicable, and waiving each party's right to have the Fair Market Value of the Premises, as applicable, determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Exhibit. (e) If Tenant elects not to make an offer to purchase the Premises under Sections 10 or 12 after this valuation process has been conducted, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord its out of pocket third party costs (including attorney's fees and the costs of Landlord's Initial Appraiser). and pay all charges assessed by the Third Appraiser.

Landlord and Tenant stipulate that this Lease is a true lease and does not represent a financing arrangement.

Tenant intends to record this Lease as an operating lease for SEC reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but failure to do so shall not be considered a default under this Lease. 1.3 Acceptance of Premises. As the prior owner of the Premises, Tenant designed and constructed the Improvements on the Premises and has occupied the Improvements since their completion and is therefore completely familiar with the condition of the Improvements. By entering this Lease, Tenant is deemed to have accepted the Premises in its current condition, AS-IS and with all faults. To the extent necessary to comply with its obligations to maintain and repair the Premises, Tenant shall enforce the warranties and other obligations of contractors and suppliers for the original construction of the Premises and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in doing so, but Landlord shall have no other responsibility or liability for the design, construction or condition of Premises and makes no warranties with respect thereto and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all its reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses, including its attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with its cooperation.

Fair market rental value shall be the amount of rent which a well-informed tenant, willing, but not obliged to lease the Premises, would pay, and which a well-informed landlord, willing, but not obligated to lease, would accept, taking into consideration all uses to which the Premises is adapted and might in reason be applied, and the then market terms being offered in the Seattle metropolitan area (e.g. including Elliott Bay, the University District, Queen Anne/Interbay, Lake Union, Denny Triangle, etc.) for space reasonably comparable to the Premises.

The arbitration process outlined below must be commenced no more than 18 months before the first day of the ensuing Renewal Term and pursued in good faith. Each arbitrator shall be an MAI real estate appraiser with at least 7 years experience in appraising real property used for comparable "wet science" biological laboratory and research and development facilities or such similar uses to which the parties agree ("Arbitrator"). If the parties are able to reach agreement on a single Arbitrator within 10 days after the end of the Bargaining Period, that Arbitrator shall determine the fair market rental value. Otherwise, each party shall select its own Arbitrator and shall provide the name to the other party within 15 days following expiration of the Bargaining Period. The two Arbitrators shall meet within 20 days following their selection and attempt in good faith during such 20 days to reach agreement on the fair market rental value of the Premises. If the two Arbitrators are unable to agree, they shall jointly select a third Arbitrator. If they fail to either agree on the fair market rental value or appoint a third Arbitrator within 20 days following their appointments, the third Arbitrator shall be selected by the then Presiding Judge of King County Superior Court upon the request of either party. Within 10 days after the appointment of the third Arbitrator, the first two Arbitrators shall each submit in writing to the third Arbitrator the amount which they propose be established as the Renewal Term's Base Rent ("Submissions"). The Submissions shall not be disclosed by the third Arbitrator until the third Arbitrator has received both of the other Arbitrators' Submissions. Each Arbitrator may include in such Submissions any information which he/she deems relevant or helpful to the third Arbitrator in determining the fair market rental value of the Premises, and the third Arbitrator may not obtain, accept or consider any additional information in making its decision. The third Arbitrator's determination of the fair market rental value is strictly limited to selection, as the more reasonable approximation of the fair market rental value of the Premises, of the amount stated in one of the Submissions, and third Arbitrator may not select or declare any third number. The third Arbitrator's decision shall be made within 20 days after delivery of the Submissions, by a report in writing to each of the parties and in any event at least 12 1/2 months before the commencement of the Renewal Term. Each party shall pay the costs of its own Arbitrator and one-half of the single Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator's fee. If the Arbitrator's determination of fair market rental value is greater than 110% of the then Base Rent payable during the 12 months immediately preceding the applicable Renewal Term, Tenant may elect to rescind exercise of the option by written notice to Landlord given at least 12 months before the commencement of the Renewal Term. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.4, if during the arbitration period, Tenant and Landlord reach agreement on fair market rental value (independent of Arbitrator's findings), the arbitration shall be terminated and the determination of the parties shall govern. 3. RENT 3.1 Base Rent. Commencing on the Commencement Date, and continuing on the first of each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord $140,317.86 per month ("Base Rent"). Base Rent shall be remitted to the Landlord at its address stated for notices in this Lease as the same may be amended from time to time or to such other address required by Landlord in a written notice to Tenant 2 and shall be due and payable on the first day of each month during the Term and tendered in cash. Base Rent for any partial month shall be prorated based on the number of days in the applicable calendar month. 3.2 Increases in Base Rent. Commencing one year after the Commencement Date and continuing annually thereafter, the Base Rent shall be increased by 3.5%. 3.3 Expansion. See Section 24.10. 3.4 Additional Rent. All amounts other than Base Rent due by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed "Additional Rent" and Landlord shall have all of the same remedies for Tenant's failure to pay Additional Rent as for failure to pay Base Rent. The term "Rent" shall mean the combined Base Rent and Additional Rent. Tenant's obligations to pay Rent are in the nature of independent covenants and all Rent shall be paid without demand, notice, abatement, reduction or offset, except that Additional Rent may be subject to demand or notice where provided in this Lease. 3.5 Late Fee. If any installment of Base Rent is not received by Landlord by the 5th of the month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, a late charge equal to six percent (6%) on such overdue installment of Base Rent (the "Late Fee"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that pursuant to Section 15.2 below, Landlord will deliver notice to Tenant of any such delinquency and, not more than once each Lease Year, Landlord will waive the Late Fee if such delinquency is paid within three business days after Tenant's receipt of such notice. Tenant acknowledges that such late charge represents a reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur as a result of such late payment. 3.6 Fines/Penalties. Subject to Section 22, Tenant shall pay and discharge when due all other amounts and obligations which Tenant assumes or agrees to pay pursuant to this Lease. 3.7 Abatement of Rent. Except as expressly agreed upon in Sections 10 and 12 below, Tenant's obligations to pay Rent shall not abate during any period that the Premises or any part thereof are untenantable regardless of the cause of such untenantability. 3.8 Asset Management Fee. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month with the Base Rent an asset management fee equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Base Rent. 4. USE 4.1 Use. Tenant may use the Premises only for office and laboratory, and research and development facilities and uses that are a reasonably necessary adjunct thereto. "Laboratory" as used herein refers to that portion of the Premises devoted to "wet" laboratory and related research and development use. Exhibit H shows the current allocation of Laboratory and office spaces. Changes resulting in more than 40% or less than 25% of the net rentable square feet of the Premises designated for office use will be considered a change in use. The methodology which will be used for calculating the percent of use will be calculated consistent with the methodology as was employed to calculate the current use percentage as described on Exhibit H (said uses and the permitted deviation in the ratio being hereinafter referred to as the "Use Requirements"). Any other uses or changes in uses shall require Landlord's approval, in accordance with the approval standards set forth in Section 8. The Premises shall not be used for any purpose which would constitute a public or private nuisance or waste, or violate the agreements listed on Exhibit B ("Title Encumbrances"). 4.2 Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall, at its cost, comply with all Laws (Section 27.2) and the requirements of any board of fire underwriters, including all modifications required thereby, relating to or affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all documents evidencing Tenant's compliance with any particular Law specified by Landlord. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing immediately of any 3 threatened or actual notice or citation, regarding an alleged failure of the Premises to comply with any Law. 4.3 Mechanic's Liens. Except for claims for delinquent payments for which Landlord is contractually obligated, which shall be the sole responsibility of Landlord, Tenant agrees that during the Term hereof it shall not do or suffer any waste to the Premises, or cause, suffer or permit any liens for labor, services or materials to attach to the Premises by reason of any act or omission of Tenant or person claiming through Tenant. If any lien is filed arising out of work performed for Tenant, Tenant shall either discharge the lien or post a bond pursuant to RCW 60.04.161 to remove the lien from the Premises within 30 days after it receives notice of the lien. 4.4 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as no Event of Default (Section 15.2) exists hereunder, Landlord covenants that Tenant shall have quiet occupation and enjoyment of the Premises from any person claiming through Landlord. 5. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR 5.1 Tenant's Obligations. Tenant shall keep and maintain all portions of the Premises in good order and condition, in a manner typical of other properly maintained and operated facilities of a similar nature and in accordance with all Laws and with the standards of maintenance and repair adhered to by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date. Tenant shall promptly make all repairs and replacements required in order to keep and maintain the Premises in such order and condition. Tenant shall also keep the Premises in compliance with all Laws and the requirements of the property and environmental insurance coverages. The provisions of this Section shall not conflict with Tenant's rights to obtain insurance and condemnation proceeds under Sections 10, 11 and 12. If Tenant fails to perform the required maintenance and repairs, Landlord shall have the cure rights described in Section 15.7. 5.2 Condition on Surrender. Upon termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove its personal property, repair any damage caused by removal, comply with any removal and Restoration Requirements (Section 8), and leave the Premises in good repair and condition, subject to Section 10.3. In addition, prior to termination of the Lease, Tenant shall perform all decommissioning required by governmental agencies and shall provide copies of all decommissioning reports to Landlord. If Tenant has failed to complete the governmental decommissioning process by the expiration or earlier termination date of this Lease, and as a result, the Premises cannot be relet, the Tenant shall be required to continue to pay full Rent and perform its obligations hereunder until such decommissioning is complete. The foregoing shall also be considered holding over and be subject to the terms of Section 27.13 if, and for so long as, Tenant fails to pursue such decommissioning with due diligence. The Fixed Equipment then existing in the Premises shall be surrendered with the Premises in good and operating condition and free of any liens, financing leases or other encumbrances created by or imposed against Tenant, and belong solely to Landlord. 6. UTILITIES AND TAXES 6.1 Utilities. Subject to Section 22, Tenant shall pay when due all charges for utility services provided to the Premises including power, water and sewer, and gas. No interruption of utility service shall give Tenant the right to abate Rent or terminate this Lease. 6.2 Taxes. Subject to Section 22, Tenant shall pay when due all Real Property Taxes. "Real Property Taxes" shall mean: (i) the ad valorem property taxes and other similar taxes levied against the Premises which become due and payable during the Term, (ii) all installments of assessments imposed by governmental entities on the Premises which become due and payable during the Term, and (iii) governmental licensing or similar fees. Real Property Taxes shall include all taxes and assessments levied against the Premises other than conveyance taxes arising from Landlord's transfer of the Premises, Landlord's rental taxes (if any), Landlord's business and occupation taxes, franchise or net income taxes of Landlord, any estate, succession, gift, capital levy or similar taxes. If any assessment may be paid in installments, Tenant shall be responsible only for those installments due and payable 4 during the Term and for those portions of installments to the extent they accrued during the Lease Term, even if they are payable thereafter. If Landlord enters into private agreements for off-site improvements for the benefit of the Premises which are in lieu of government imposed improvements, Tenant shall pay Landlord's installments thereunder to the extent they accrued during the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amortization period used in calculating the amount of the installments is less than the amortization period that would have been used for the government assessment that would have otherwise been imposed, then Tenant shall pay a portion of the Landlord's installments due under such private agreements, to the extent they accrued during the Term, recalculated using the same amortization period as would have been used for the government assessment. Tenant shall pay all personal property taxes levied against the Premises as and when due to the extent the levy thereof is attributable to the Term and all such taxes are assessed against its own property. It is Landlord's and Tenant's express intent that all Fixed Equipment identified on Exhibit G and all substitutions, modifications or additions thereto, is part of the real property and not personal property. No personal property is being leased by Landlord to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Department of Revenue assesses any personal property taxes relating to the Premises, the Fixed Equipment or this Lease, Tenant shall pay such taxes, subject to Section 22. 7. SECURITY DEPOSIT 7.1 General Requirements. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant will provide to Landlord a security deposit ("Security Deposit") in the amount of $280,635.72 (i.e. two months Base Rent). Tenant shall increase the amount of the Security Deposit to correspond to increases in Base Rent at the time such adjustments become effective. Tenant can elect to provide the Security Deposit in the form of either a letter of credit ("LOC"), or pledged marketable securities from Tenant's corporate cash investment portfolio, or a combination thereof, variable over the Term. Landlord will hold the Security Deposit as security for the performance of Tenant's obligations under the Lease. The Security Deposit will not be considered 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, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, use all or a portion of the Security Deposit to cure any Event of Default. Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant will replenish the Security Deposit to its required amount. Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to any subsequent owner of the Premises. Landlord and its successors and assigns will not be bound by any assignment or encumbrance of the Security Deposit by Tenant, provided, however, if Tenant's interest in the Lease has been assigned, Landlord will return the Security Deposit to such assignee in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Within 30 days following the expiration of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of all of its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall return the then existing balance of the Security Deposit to Tenant. Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the Security Deposit. If Landlord returns the Security Deposit to Tenant's assignee as aforesaid, Landlord will have no further obligation to any party with respect thereto. Tenant shall not encumber the Security Deposit. 7.2 Letter of Credit. During any period that Tenant elects to satisfy all or any portion of the Security Deposit with an LOC, the LOC must be an irrevocable and unconditional standby letter of credit, issued by the Bank of America or its successors or another financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and with a term of at least one year substantially in the form of Exhibit D. Landlord may draw upon the LOC to cure any Event of Default, as described in Section 7.1. In addition, if at any time there are less than 30 days remaining before the expiration of the LOC, and if Tenant does not deliver an extension or replacement of the LOC within 5 business days after notice from Landlord, Landlord may draw upon the LOC; provided that if Tenant subsequently provides a replacement LOC, and to the extent Landlord has not applied the same to any default, Landlord will return the funds drawn to Tenant without interest. 7.3 Pledged Securities. So long as Tenant's reported Cash Position (defined below) is at least $50,000,000.00 (the "Cash Position Minimum"), Tenant may satisfy all or any portion of the Security Deposit with marketable securities satisfying the criteria stated in this Section 7.3. "Cash Position" is defined as the sum of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as determined by reference to GAAP. If Tenant's reported Cash Position drops below the Cash Position 5 Minimum at any time, then Tenant shall immediately convert all of its Security Deposit to an LOC. Tenant may subsequently satisfy its Security Deposit with marketable securities once Tenant has again exceeded the Cash Position Minimum for at least two consecutive quarters. During any period that Tenant elects to satisfy all or any portion of the Security Deposit with marketable securities, the pledge will be of short term (2 years or less) fixed income marketable securities from Tenant's corporate cash investment portfolio, including money market funds, rated not lower than Aa, AA, A1 or P1 or equivalent by a nationally recognized credit rating service. The pledged marketable securities will be held by Union Bank of California or another bank or financial institution mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant as custodian for Landlord, either in a separate custodian account or as specially designated securities within a larger custodian account. The pledge agreement must be substantially in the form of Exhibit E and provide Landlord with a perfected first lien security interest in the pledged securities. The custodial agreement must be substantially in the form of Exhibit F and provide direct access authorization which would permit Landlord in an Event of Default, without approval of Tenant, to authorize the sale of the securities and the withdrawal of the proceeds thereof (not to exceed the amount of the then required Security Deposit) for application by Landlord to cure any Event of Default, as described in Section 7.1. So long as the value of the pledged securities comply with the requirements of this Lease, Tenant will be entitled to retain all interest and other earnings generated by the pledged securities. If the market value of the pledged securities drops below the required amount of the Security Deposit, Tenant will immediately add additional marketable securities to the pledge to increase the value of the pledged securities to equal or exceed the required level. Failure of Tenant to increase the pledged securities as required within 3 business days of notice from Landlord and/or the account custodian will constitute an Event of Default. Tenant will have the right to substitute marketable securities meeting the rating criteria and having all of the other characteristics specified above for the securities subject to the pledge. 8. ALTERATIONS 8.1 General. Except as provided in Section 24 regarding the Expansion, all alterations of Premises shall be made at Tenant's sole cost and expense. All alterations shall be made in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all Laws and insurance requirements and Tenant shall enforce any warranties to the extent necessary to cause any defects in workmanship or materials to be corrected. Subject to Section 8.6, all alterations shall be fully consistent with the overall character of the Premises as a first class scientific research and development facility (the "Function Requirements") and the Use Requirements. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, costs (including attorneys' fees and costs) or damage occurring in connection with Tenant's alterations; notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be liable to reimburse Landlord for Landlord's overhead and expenses in reviewing any plans, specifications and other documents or in otherwise confirming Tenant's conformance to the requirements of this Section 8 ("Review Costs") except that for Category D and E Alterations, Tenant shall pay Landlord a fee equal to the lesser of $10,000 or 5% of all costs incurred by Tenant or its contractors or agents in connection with any Category D or E Alteration, to defray Landlord's Review Costs. Prior to commencing any alterations, Tenant shall obtain all necessary permits from governmental authorities. Irrespective of Landlord's receipt, review and any approval of the plans and specifications for Tenant's alterations, Tenant, and not Landlord, shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy or sufficiency of the plans and specifications, their compliance with applicable Laws, codes, regulations or statutes, and their fitness for Tenant's purpose. If any alterations by Tenant trigger any legal requirements to make other modifications to the Premises, Tenant shall make such modifications at its sole cost and expense. Tenant shall provide to Landlord as-built drawings for all alterations by Tenant promptly after completion of the alteration. Except for Removable Equipment, all alterations shall become the property of Landlord immediately upon installation or completion and shall be subject to all of the terms of this Lease. Prior to commencing any Category "B-E" Alteration, Tenant must deliver to Landlord evidence of insurance from all contractors and subcontractors reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to protect Landlord against liability for personal injury or property damage during construction, naming Landlord as an additional insured. 8.2 Category "A" Alterations. An alteration is a "Category A Alteration" if the estimated cost of such alteration is less than $5,000 and the alteration does not fall within the definition of Category D or E Alterations. For Category A Alterations, in addition to the requirements of Section 8.1, Tenant will 6 deliver notice to Landlord describing the alteration promptly after its completion, in the manner stated in Section 27.3. 8.3 Category "B" Alterations. An alteration is a "Category B Alteration" if the estimated cost of such alteration is between $5,000 and $25,000, and the alteration does not fall within the definition of Category D or E Alterations. For Category B Alterations, in addition to the requirements of Section 8.1, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in the manner stated in Section 27.3, of the planned alteration at least 5 business days prior to commencement of the work, providing a brief description of the work, the estimated cost, and any permit drawings, if applicable. 8.4 Category "C" Alterations. An alteration is a "Category C Alteration" if the estimated cost of such alteration exceeds $25,000 and the alteration does not fall within the definition of Category D or E Alterations. For Category C Alterations, in addition to the requirements of Section 8.1, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in the manner stated in Section 27.3, of the planned alteration at least 10 business days prior to the commencement of the work, providing a description of the work, the estimated cost and any permit drawings for Landlord's review and approval. Landlord will not withhold its approval of the alteration, however Landlord may impose reasonable conditions on the alteration to the extent necessary to protect its investment, provided that Landlord may not require Tenant to restore the Premises or remove the Category C Alteration as a condition of its consent. For Category C Alterations, if Landlord does not respond to Tenant's notice of such alteration within the 10 business day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such alteration without conditions. 8.5 Category "D" Alterations. An alteration is a "Category D Alteration," regardless of estimated cost, if such alteration does not fall within the definition of a Category E Alteration, and either (a) such alteration when aggregated with past alterations and concurrent alterations, fails to comply with the Use Requirements, or (b) such alteration results in a net change in rentable square footage for any Function which is outside of the "Function Tolerances" set forth in the Table of Uses contained in Exhibit H. "Function" is defined by reference to physical and functional distinctions evident in the floor plans attached as Exhibit H. For Category D Alterations, in addition to the requirements of Section 8.1, Tenant must obtain Landlord's prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. To request Landlord's approval, Tenant shall provide to Landlord schematic drawings for Category D Alterations and Landlord shall respond with its comments on such proposed alteration within 10 business days after receipt thereof. Such approval is also subject to Landlord's subsequent 10 business day review and approval of the construction drawings for the proposed alteration. Landlord shall be required to approve the Category D Alteration and the construction drawings, if (i) Landlord had previously approved the schematic drawings, and (ii) the construction drawings reflect the same alterations as such schematic drawings. If Landlord disapproves of either the schematic drawings or the construction drawings, it shall provide Tenant with reasonably detailed reasons therefor. Failure to provide any such notice shall not be construed as an approval of or consent to any alteration. Landlord may condition its approval of Category D Alterations on a Restoration Requirement (Section 8.7). 8.6 Category "E" Alterations. An alteration is a "Category E Alteration," regardless of estimated cost, if such alteration (a) fails to comply with the Function Requirements, (b) incorporates materials or employs construction standards that are of a materially lesser quality than those used in the then existing Premises, (c) decreases the number of net rentable square feet in the Premises, (d) involves any alterations to the foundation, roof or structural components of the Improvements, (e) alters the exterior appearance of the Premises (but specifically excluding landscaping, Removable Equipment, antennas or mechanical systems on the roof, and signage when reasonably required for Tenant's business); (f) is designed for any use that is not expressly permitted under Section 4.1; (g) results in Laboratory space being improved for use as a "Process Lab" (defined by reference to Exhibit H) or "Vivarium" (as defined by reference to Exhibit H) outside of the "Extreme Max" Function Tolerances set forth in Exhibit H; (h) results in more than 60% of the Premises being improved for office use; or (i) results in more than 80% of the Premises being improved for Laboratory use (Section 4.1). For Category E Alterations, in addition to the requirements of Section 8.1, Tenant must request Landlord's prior written 7 approval, which is subject to Landlord's sole discretion. To request Landlord's approval, Tenant shall provide to Landlord schematic drawings for Category E alterations and Landlord shall respond with its comments on the proposal within 10 business days after receipt thereof, which is subject to Landlord's subsequent 10 business day review and approval of the construction drawings. Landlord shall approve the Category E Alteration and the construction drawings, if (i) Landlord had previously approved the schematic drawings, and (ii) the construction drawings reflect the same alterations as such schematic drawings. If Landlord disapproves of either the schematic drawings or the construction drawings, it shall provide Tenant with reasonably detailed reasons therefor. Failure to provide any such notice shall not be construed as an approval of or consent to any alteration. Landlord may condition its approval of Category E Alterations on a Restoration Requirement. 8.7 Restoration Requirement and Restoration Deposit. Landlord may condition its approval of Category D and E Alterations on a requirement that Tenant remove such alterations at the end of the Term and fully restore the Premises to the location, size, design, configuration, condition and state of improvement and fixturing that existed immediately prior to making such alterations and consistent with the degree of maintenance and repair required by this Lease (the "Restoration Requirement"). If Landlord conditions its approval of a Category D or E Alteration on a Restoration Requirement, Landlord may further require that Tenant post a deposit (the "Restoration Deposit") in an amount equal to Landlord's reasonable estimate of the removal and restoration costs in any circumstance in which the same exceed $100,000 and which shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as those that are applicable to the Security Deposit; provided, however, the Restoration Deposit shall be returned to Tenant to the extent and at the earlier of such time as (a) Landlord waives its requirement in writing that such alterations be removed and the Premises restored, which election shall be at Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, or (b) Tenant completes the removals and restorations, Landlord accepts the same as having complied with Tenant's obligations under this section, and Tenant provides Landlord with final lien waivers and evidence of payment for all of the costs and expenses incurred to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be required to post a Restoration Deposit unless (a) Landlord has made a good faith determination that Restoration will likely be required and (b) Tenant's cash flow position drops below the Cash Position Minimum (Section 7.3). 8.8 Fixed and Removable Equipment. This Lease arises simultaneously with the sale of the Premises by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated August 29, 2002, as amended (the "Purchase Agreement"). In order to establish which elements and/or pieces of equipment within the Premises were included in the sale and which were not, the parties applied the criteria listed below to develop the listing contained on Exhibit G containing those items which were considered affixed and part of the Premises. All other items not listed on Exhibit G were considered personal property retained by Tenant. "Fixed Equipment" is defined as the equipment listed on Exhibit G, plus any new equipment brought onto the Premises which either replaces the items listed on Exhibit G, has the same the physical and functional distinctions as the equipment listed on Exhibit G, or satisfies the criteria stated below. FIXED EQUIPMENT CRITERIA: 1) Equipment that is built into the facility in such a manner that it will require the removal of walls, floors, ceilings or additions to or modifications of existing structural support, whether temporary or permanent, to install or relocate it; 2) Equipment that is connected to common building systems in such a way that the service must be modified outside the local area or room where the equipment is located when the equipment is disconnected; or 3) Equipment that provides service to other Fixed Equipment or without which such other Fixed Equipment would not be functional. As new equipment is brought into the Premises, the determination of whether such equipment is considered Fixed Equipment or Removable Equipment will be made by using the physical and functional 8 distinctions evident in the listing attached as Exhibit G and where that does not provide sufficient guidance, applying the above Fixed Equipment criteria. If any alteration is intended to include attached equipment, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of its suggested classification as either Fixed or Removable when it gives the notices or requests the approvals as required above. New Fixed Equipment shall become Landlord's property immediately. No Fixed Equipment may be leased or subject to any lien or security interest by Tenant. 9. INSURANCE 9.1 Tenant's Insurance. Tenant shall maintain at its sole cost and expense the following insurance on the Premises, and in all cases such policies shall name as additional insureds (a) Landlord, (b) any lender of Landlord holding any security interest in the Premises, and (c) any management company retained by Landlord to manage the Premises: 9.1.1 Property. Insurance against loss or damage to the Premises on an all risk basis, including sprinkler damage and flood for an amount not less than the actual replacement cost of the Premises. The insurance shall include coverage from business interruption and extra expense for a period of not less than 18 months. Tenant shall also carry earthquake insurance and insurance against damage caused by terrorism and acts of war to the extent the same is or are available at commercially reasonable rates and is required by Landlord. In determining whether such insurance is available at a commercially reasonably rate, the parties will take into consideration the cost and availability of similar policies for Landlord's (or its affiliates') other Seattle properties (or in similarly rated seismic areas if Landlord or its affiliates no longer own other Seattle properties). At Tenant's option, the Premises may be included in Landlord's (or its affiliates') blanket policy of insurance, if and for so long as the same is maintained by Landlord (or its affiliates), in which case the cost of insurance allocable to the Premises will be based on the insurer's cost calculations. In addition, Tenant shall maintain during the Term all risk insurance for Tenant's personal property (including business interruption and extra expense coverage) covering the full replacement cost of all property, improvements and equipment placed in or on the Premises by Tenant, with the understanding that the proceeds of such policies shall be paid to and belong to Tenant. 9.1.2 Liability. Commercial liability insurance with a combined single limit (including umbrella) of at least $10 million per occurrence and $10 million in the aggregate, naming Landlord as an additional insured and such insurance shall be primary to and not contributory with any insurance carried by Landlord regarding events that occur in the Premises. 9.1.3 Boiler. Insurance against loss or damage from explosion of any steam or pressure boilers or similar apparatus located in or about the Premises in an amount not less than the actual cost to repair or replace the insured equipment/machinery. At Tenant's option, the Premises may be included in Landlord's (or its affiliates') blanket policy of insurance, if and so long as the same is maintained by Landlord (or its affiliates), in which case the cost allocable to the Premises will be based on the insurer's cost calculations. 9.1.4 Builder's Risk. Whenever Tenant, whether as Landlord's construction agent or otherwise, is engaged in alterations costing in excess of $5 million, Tenant shall obtain completed value builder's risk insurance. 9.1.5 Environmental Insurance. To the extent available at a commercially reasonable rate, pollution legal liability insurance with a limit of not less than $10,000,000 covering the Premises and contamination therefrom. In determining whether such insurance is available at a commercially reasonable rate, the parties will take into consideration the cost and availability of similar policies for other of Landlord's (or its affiliates') similar properties. Such insurance shall be on a claims-made basis. At Tenant's option, the Premises may be included in Landlord's (or its affiliates') blanket policy of insurance, if and for so long as Landlord (or its affiliates) maintains such policies, in which case the cost of such insurance allocable to the Premises will be based on the insurer's cost calculations. 9 9.1.6 Workers' Compensation. Tenant shall maintain workers' compensation insurance with no less than the minimum limits required by law. 9.1.7 Other Tenant Insurance. In addition to the insurance coverage listed above in this Section 9.1, at Tenant's and Landlord's option, Tenant may be included in Landlord's (or its affiliates') blanket policy for other insurance (e.g. mold insurance), if and for so long as Landlord (or its affiliates) maintains such policies, in which case the cost of such insurance allocable to the Premises will be based on the insurer's cost calculations. 9.1.8 Landlord's Evidence of Insurance. In those instances where Tenant is included in Landlord's (or its affiliates') blanket policies of insurance, at Tenant's request, Landlord shall provide Tenant with insurance certificates, or such other reasonable evidence of coverage under such policies. 9.2 Rating. The insurance required by Section 9.1 shall be written by companies rated not less than A - and having a size rating of X or higher in the current edition of A. M. Best's Key Rating Guide, and all such companies shall be authorized to do insurance business in Washington, or otherwise agreed to by Landlord. The insurance policies shall be in amounts sufficient at all times to satisfy any coinsurance requirements thereof. If said insurance or any part thereof shall expire or be withdrawn, Tenant shall immediately obtain new or additional insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. As of the date of the Lease, Tenant's insurers are rated A++ (Chubb) and A+ (FM Global). 9.3 Mortgagee. Each insurance policy referred to in Sections 9.1.1, 9.1.3 and 9.1.4, shall contain standard non-contributory mortgagee clauses in favor of any mortgagee. Each such policy shall provide that the issuer will endeavor to notify the mortgagee if there are any material changes to the policy. 9.4 Renewal. Tenant shall pay when due all premiums for the insurance required by this Section 9 and shall deliver to Landlord copies of any insurance policy upon Landlord's request and a certificate or other evidence (reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) of the existing policies and of renewal or replacement policies prior to the policy expiration date (which may be by extension of the existing policy). If Tenant fails to comply with the requirements of this Section 9 within 5 business days after written notice by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to procure such insurance pursuant to Section 15.7. 9.5 Landlord's Blanket Policies. As noted in Sections 9.1.1, 9.1.3, and 9.1.5, Tenant shall have the option of obtaining the insurance through Landlord's (or its affiliates') blanket insurance policies for its portfolio to obtain improved coverage or cost savings, if and for so long as Landlord (or its affiliates) maintains such policies. At Tenant's request, Landlord will provide Tenant with premium rating information, copies of insurance policies, and other information reasonably necessary to facilitate Tenant's evaluation of this option. 9.6 Landlord's Insurance. Landlord, at its expense, shall carry comprehensive general liability insurance with a combined single limit (including umbrella) of at least $5 million per occurrence and $5 million in the aggregate. 9.7 Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant waive their respective rights of recovery against the other and the officers, employees, agents and representatives of such other party for damage to the property of the other by fire or other casualty to the extent such damage is insured or required hereunder to be insured. The insurance policies carried by Landlord and Tenant shall include a waiver of the insurer's rights of subrogation. 10 10. CASUALTY; OBLIGATION TO RESTORE 10.1 Definitions. "Casualty" shall mean damage to or destruction of the Premises by storm, fire, lightning, earthquake, or from any other cause, other than such damage or destruction which is the subject of a Condemnation (Section 12). "Excess Insurance Proceeds" shall mean that portion of any Insurance Proceeds which are received by the Landlord or its mortgagee that are not used to pay the third party costs of restoring any damage to the Premises or any other third party out of pocket costs incurred, including attorneys' fees, in connection with the Casualty, including such costs to obtain the Insurance Proceeds, but in any event excluding Tenant's Proceeds. The determination of Excess Insurance Proceeds shall be made upon completion of the Casualty Restoration. "Excess Insurance Proceeds Rent Reduction" shall mean a dollar for dollar reduction to the Base Rent for the then remainder of the Term until exhausted, from and after the date Landlord receives any Excess Insurance Proceeds. "Fair Market Value of Premises" for purposes of this Section 10 is defined in Exhibit L. "Insurance Proceeds" shall mean the proceeds of any insurance maintained by Tenant under Section 9, which is paid for a Casualty Restoration (Section 10.4), but excludes Tenant's Proceeds. "Substantial or Full Casualty" shall mean a Casualty which is certified, by an affidavit from Tenant's president, chief executive officer or chief financial officer, stating with a reasonable basis that such event has rendered the Premises (taken separately from any other properties owned or leased by Tenant) unavailable for Tenant's continued business operations in compliance with the Use Requirements and Function Requirements for more than 12 months and the cost of restoring the Premises is reasonably estimated to exceed $10,000,000. "Tenant's Proceeds" shall mean any proceeds of insurance policies payable for Tenant's business interruption or damage to Tenant's personal property. 10.2 Substantial or Full Casualty in Last 18 Months of Term. If and only if there is a Substantial or Full Casualty of the Premises during the last 18 months of the then current Term, then (i) Landlord will receive the Insurance Proceeds; and (ii) provided Tenant has maintained the insurance coverages required under this Lease, the Lease will terminate effective as of the date of the Casualty, and Tenant's obligations under the Lease will be replaced by an obligation for Tenant to pay any deductibles under applicable insurance policies, plus Rent for the balance of the then current Term. 10.3 Substantial or Full Casualty Prior to Last 18 Months of Term. If and only if there is a Substantial or a Full Casualty of the Premises prior to the last 18 months of the then current Term, then Tenant shall have the option to either (i) continue the Lease pursuant to Section 10.3.1 below; or (ii) make a rejectable offer to purchase pursuant to Section 10.3.2 below. If Tenant makes a rejectable offer to purchase, unless and until Tenant closes on the purchase, or the Lease terminates pursuant to 10.3.2, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent when due. 10.3.1 Lease Continuation. If there is a Substantial or Full Casualty of the Premises prior to the last 18 months of the then current Term, unless Tenant delivers a Termination Notice under Section 10.3.2 below, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and no Rent shall abate under this Lease as a result of such Substantial or Full Casualty; provided, however, the Base Rent under this Lease shall be subject to an Excess Insurance Proceeds Rent Reduction (as defined above). In such event, Tenant's restoration obligations set forth in Section 10.4 below shall apply. If Tenant elects to restore, and pursuant to Tenant's rights to sublet or assign under Section 13, Tenant may exercise up to 11 2 of its remaining 5 year Renewal Options. In such event Tenant waives its rescission right under Section 2.4 as it relates to such exercise only. 10.3.2 Lease Termination. If there is a Substantial or Full Casualty of the Premises prior to the last 18 months of the then current Term, and Tenant will not be re-occupying the Premises following such Substantial or Full Casualty Restoration, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by delivering notice of such election to Landlord within 90 days after the Casualty ("Casualty Termination Notice"). The Casualty Termination Notice shall include an offer by Tenant to purchase the Premises from Landlord for the greater of (i) the original purchase price paid by Landlord for the Premises plus any Allowance (Section 24.8.2) disbursed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease; or (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Premises. Within 60 days from Landlord's receipt of the Casualty Termination Notice, Landlord will notify Tenant whether it will accept or reject Tenant's offer to purchase the Premises, with Landlord's silence deemed rejection. If Landlord accepts Tenant's offer to purchase, then notwithstanding Section 10.5 below, Tenant shall be entitled to all Insurance Proceeds, and such purchase shall close on the later of (i) 10 business days after Tenant's receipt of all Insurance Proceeds; or (ii) 30 days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's acceptance of such offer. If Landlord rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, Tenant's offer to purchase, then the Lease will be deemed terminated effective as of the date of Landlord's rejection, with Landlord retaining the Insurance Proceeds. In such event, Tenant shall also be liable to pay Landlord any applicable deductibles on insurance policies relating to the Casualty Restoration, and Tenant shall pay such deductible amount to Landlord within 30 days of the date of Landlord's rejection and the Lease's termination date. 10.4 Obligation to Restore. If there is a Casualty and the Lease has not terminated by the application of Sections 10.2 or 10.3 above, then, irrespective of the extent of the Casualty or whether the cause is covered by insurance, Tenant shall repair, restore and rebuild the Premises in accordance with the Function Requirements and the Use Requirements and all applicable building and zoning codes at the time of rebuilding to substantially the same location, size, design, configuration and condition immediately prior to damage or destruction (with any departures from said characteristics in accordance with Section 8 for Alterations) and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Such repair, restoration and rebuilding, including the repair, restoration or replacement of Fixed Equipment (all of which are herein called a "Casualty Restoration") shall be commenced as soon as reasonably practical and taking into consideration a reasonable time for the insurance adjustment of the loss, the work to design the repairs/replacements, and permitting delays; and shall be diligently pursued to completion. 10.5. Insurance Proceeds. Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to Tenant for application to costs of Casualty Restoration; provided that if the proceeds exceed $3 million (unless Landlord's mortgagee should require a lesser amount, but in no event less than $1 million), they shall be held by an insurance trustee pursuant to Section 11. If the Insurance Proceeds are insufficient to cover the cost of repair, the deficit shall be paid by Tenant. Any Excess Insurance Proceeds shall be paid and belong to Landlord. For avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.5 shall not apply to Tenant's Proceeds; in every instance Tenant's Proceeds shall be paid to and be the sole property of Tenant. 10.6 No Casualty Termination. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease to the contrary, unless Sections 10.2 or 10.3 above apply, this Lease may not be terminated by Tenant or Landlord as a result of a Casualty to the Premises, irrespective of the extent thereof, whether such loss is insured or when such Casualty occurs, or whether such damage is legally permitted to be restored, and Tenant and Landlord waive the provisions of any Law permitting termination of a lease due to destruction of the Premises. 10.7 No Abatement of Rent. Except to the extent stated in Sections 10.2 and 10.3 above, no Rent shall abate under this Lease as a result of any Casualty, whether or not or to the extent the same may be insured, and irrespective of whether or not such damage or destruction is prohibited from being 12 repaired or restored; provided, however, the Base Rent shall be subject to an Excess Insurance Proceeds Rent Reduction. 11. INSURANCE TRUSTEE 11.1 Procedure. If the Insurance Proceeds exceed $3 million (unless Landlord's mortgagee should require a lesser amount, but in no event less than $1 million) and this Lease has not terminated by application of Sections 10.2 or 10.3, then such Insurance Proceeds shall be held by an insurance trustee which shall be a financial institution jointly selected by Landlord and Tenant and reasonably satisfactory to any mortgagee(s) (the "Trustee"). If Landlord's mortgagee is an institutional lender, such lender may elect to be the Trustee. Each insurer is authorized to make payment directly to the Trustee; and Tenant and Landlord each appoints such Trustee as its attorney-in-fact to endorse any check for Insurance Proceeds after approval by Tenant of the Trustee (if other than Landlord's mortgagee). The Insurance Proceeds, net of reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining them, shall be retained in a separate interest-bearing federally insured account by the Trustee for application to restoration, with the interest added to the proceeds. The Trustee shall make the net Insurance Proceeds available to Tenant for restoration, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11. The net Insurance Proceeds held by the Trustee shall be disbursed in accordance with the following conditions: 11.1.1 Landlord's Approval. The plans and specifications for the restoration shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval, which approval shall be granted to the extent that the plans and specifications conform with the conditions specified in Section 10.4. 11.1.2 No Default. At the time of any disbursement, no Event of Default shall exist and no mechanics' or materialmen's liens shall have been filed and remain undischarged or unbonded except to the extent the disbursement would satisfy and discharge such liens. 11.2 Disbursements. After all of the uninsured costs to repair and restore the Premises have been paid by Tenant out of its own funds, disbursements shall be made monthly by the Trustee to reflect that percentage of the work that is being paid for with the Insurance Proceeds that has been completed since the prior disbursement upon receipt of (1) a Draw Certificate (Section 11.3), (2) completion and performance of the work to date in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the contracts, plans and specifications, (3) customary lien waivers for the work covered by the prior progress payments, and (4) other reasonable evidence of cost and payment so that Trustee can verify that the amounts disbursed from time to time constitute the same percentage of the total budgeted Casualty Restoration costs, as such budget may be adjusted from time to time. 11.3 Draw Certificates. Each request for disbursement shall be accompanied by a certificate using AIA Forms G702 and G703 ("Draw Certificates"), as the same may be amended or replaced by AIA or a similar entity describing the work, materials or other costs or expenses, for which payment is requested, stating the cost incurred in connection therewith and stating that Tenant has not previously received payment for such work or expense. For soft costs, where the referenced AIA Forms would not apply, Tenant's delivery of reasonable documentation of such costs shall satisfy the Draw Certificate requirement. The Draw Certificate to be delivered by Tenant upon completion of the work shall, in addition, state that the work covered by the request has been substantially completed. 12. CONDEMNATION 12.1 Definitions. "Condemnation" shall mean any taking of the Premises by condemnation or other eminent domain proceedings pursuant to any Law or any conveyance under threat thereof. "Excess Condemnation Award" shall mean that portion of any Condemnation Award which is paid to Landlord or its mortgagee and not used by Landlord, its mortgagee or Tenant to pay the third 13 party out of pocket costs of restoring any damage to the Premises caused by the Condemnation or any third party out of pocket costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord or its mortgagee in connection with the Condemnation. "Fair Market Value of Premises" for purposes of this Section 12 is defined in Exhibit L. "Substantial or Complete Condemnation" shall mean a Condemnation that is not a Temporary Taking, which is certified by an affidavit from Tenant's president, chief executive officer or chief financial officer, stating with a reasonable basis that such Condemnation has rendered the Premises (taken separately from any other properties owned or leased by Tenant) unavailable for Tenant's continued business operations in compliance with this Lease's Use Requirements and Function Requirements and results in a loss of 35% or more of the rentable square feet of the Premises. "Temporary Taking" shall mean a condemnation of all or part of the Premises for up to two (2) years. 12.2 Notice/Award. Either party, promptly upon obtaining knowledge of any Condemnation proceeding affecting the Premises, shall notify the other party and both parties shall be entitled to participate in any Condemnation proceeding. Subject to the provisions of this Section 12, Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord any award or payment with respect to any Condemnation of Landlord's interest in the Premises (the "Condemnation Award"), except that nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to preclude Tenant from making a separate claim for an award on account of the Removable Equipment, moving expenses, relocation costs, business interruption or out-of-pocket expenses incidental to the move so long as in doing so the amount of Landlord's award is not reduced. 12.3 Substantial or Complete Condemnation. If there is a Substantial or Complete Condemnation of the Premises Tenant will deliver notice thereof to Landlord within 120 days after receipt of demand for turnover from the condemning agency ("Condemnation Termination Notice") and this Lease shall terminate. The Condemnation Termination Notice shall verify the Substantial or Complete Condemnation and include an offer by Tenant to terminate the Lease by paying Landlord the greater of (i) the original purchase price paid by Landlord for the Premises plus any Allowance disbursed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease; or (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Premises (the "Termination Fee"). Within 60 days from Landlord's receipt of the Termination Notice, Landlord will notify Tenant whether it will accept or reject Tenant's offer to terminate the Lease with Landlord's silence deemed rejection. If Landlord accepts Tenant's offer to terminate the Lease, then notwithstanding Section 12.2 above, Tenant shall be entitled to the entire Condemnation Award, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the Termination Fee by the later of (y) 10 business days after Tenant's receipt of the Condemnation Award; or (z) 30 days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's acceptance of such offer. If there is less than a total condemnation, Landlord shall transfer to Tenant fee title to any remainder of the Premises, upon Landlord's receipt of the Termination Fee. If Landlord rejects, or is deemed to have rejected Tenant's offer to terminate the Lease, then the Lease will be deemed terminated effective as of the date the Premises are surrendered to the condemning authority, with Landlord retaining the Condemnation Award (subject to Section 12.2). Tenant shall continue to pay Rent until the latest of date on which (a) the Termination Fee is paid, (b) the Lease is deemed terminated, or (c) the Tenant vacates the Premises. 12.4 Partial Condemnation. If there is a partial Condemnation which is not a Substantial or Complete Condemnation, Section 12.3 shall not apply, this Lease will not terminate and the Condemnation Award shall be made available to Tenant to restore the Premises to a complete architectural unit with the character, function and commercial value as nearly as possible equal to the value of the Premises immediately prior to the taking. For such purposes, Landlord may require that the Condemnation Award be deposited with and disbursed by a trustee in the same manner that would have 14 been applicable had the Premises been damaged by a casualty that invoked the provisions of Section 11. The Base Rent shall then be reduced to reflect the reduction in the Premises. If the reduction is to the interior, the Rent would be proportionately reduced to reflect the reduction in the rentable square feet; if the reduction affects the number of parking spaces available, the Rent reduction will reflect the excess cost to Tenant for comparable parking. There will be no Rent reduction for the Condemnation of unimproved or landscaped areas. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the net present value of the Rent reduction exceed the Excess Condemnation Award. 12.5 Temporary Taking. If there is a Temporary Taking, then notwithstanding Section 12.2 above, the entire Condemnation Award shall be paid to Tenant to the extent it is attributable to the Term and Tenant shall continue to pay the Rent due hereunder without abatement or adjustment. 13. SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT 13.1 General. Tenant shall have the right to assign or sublet the Premises, in whole or in part (any of which events being a "Transfer" and any assignee or sublessee being a "Transferee"), with the consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld as further detailed in this Section 13. Landlord will be deemed to have approved the Transfer unless within 10 business days after receipt of Tenant's request complying with this Section 13, Landlord gives written notice specifying its objections to the Transfer. Such request shall be accompanied by a complete and accurate copy of the proposed assignment or sublease, the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee, its address, telephone number and principal representative who may be contacted for information and inquiries, the uses it intends to make of the Premises, if and how it is affiliated with Tenant, and a then current credit report, an operating statement for the immediately preceding 12 months and a then current financial statement reflecting its financial condition in accordance with GAAP (Section 1.2). 13.2 Affiliates/Cooperative Business Arrangements. Notwithstanding Section 13.1, Tenant shall have the right, upon not less than 30 days' advance written notice to Landlord but without Landlord's consent, to Transfer this Lease in whole or in part to Affiliates. "Affiliates" shall mean (a) entities which control, are controlled by or are under common control with Tenant; (b) Tenant's successor entities by merger or acquisition; and (c) entities in which Tenant is a 50% or more owner or joint venturer, and jointly pursuing business objectives consistent with Tenant's business operations, such as discovery or development of pharmaceutical products, so long as such entity has a Cash Position equal to or greater than Tenant's then Cash Position (Section 7.3). 13.3 Landlord's Consent. Landlord will not withhold its consent to a Transfer if: (a) The proposed uses of the Transferee comply with the provisions of Section 4.1. (b) In the case of a sublease, the demising configuration between the retained space and the subleased space does not unreasonably impair the marketability of the remaining space. 13.4 No Release. No Transfer shall release Tenant from any obligations hereunder and Tenant shall remain primarily liable for performance of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord may accept any Rent or performance of Tenant's obligations from any Transferee and such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's rights. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant, or any Transferee, without first exhausting Landlord's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor. 13.5 Assumption. Any assignee of this Lease shall execute an assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in which such assignee becomes jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the performance of Tenant's obligations under the Lease to the extent claims arise after the effective date of the assumption. 15 13.6 Subleases. Each sublease shall provide that (a) it is subject and subordinate to this Lease; (ii) the term is not longer than the then Term of this Lease, plus any extensions which have been irrevocably exercised, and (iii) if this Lease is terminated for any reason, Landlord may, at its option, either (A) terminate the sublease, or (B) takeover all of the rights and interest of Tenant under the sublease, in which case the sublessee shall attorn to Landlord. If Landlord elects to takeover the rights and interest of Tenant, Landlord shall not (1) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under the sublease, (2) be subject to any defense or offset in favor of the sublessee against Tenant, (3) be bound by any modification to the sublease made without Landlord's written consent or by any prepayment by sublessee of more than one month's rent, or (4) be liable for the application or return of any security deposit not actually received by Landlord. Landlord will agree to the same waiver of subrogation with sublessees as is set forth in Section 9.7. 13.7 Assignment and Sublease Profit. Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to 50% of the rent profit on assignment consideration (i.e. consideration for assignment of the Lease) and sublease rents. The assignment consideration shall be determined and paid as and when received by Tenant. For any nonmonetary consideration, Tenant will have option of assigning half of such non-monetary consideration to Landlord, or having the nonmonetary consideration fairly valued and half of such value paid to Landlord in immediately available funds within a reasonable time after receipt by Tenant of the consideration, to allow for liquidation/valuation. The rent profit on subleases will be determined and paid each month during the sublease term. The rent profit on subleases shall be calculated by taking the rent and other consideration and reimbursements payable by the sublessee to Tenant or to any third party pursuant to the sublease and subtracting (a) the Base Rent due from Tenant hereunder with respect to the subleased space over the same period to which the sublessee's rent applies (per square foot allocation), (b) the monthly amortization of the costs incurred in connection with the sublease for commissions, tenant improvement costs and legal fees (all amortized on a straight-line basis over the sublease term), (c) any reasonable amounts specified in the sublease as rental payments for use of equipment owned by Tenant, (d) Tenant's reasonable estimate of those third party costs payable by Tenant under the Lease or under the sublease and other direct actual reimbursements of third party costs incurred at sublessee's request in connection with the Premises or sublessee's business operations at the Premises, (e) Tenant's reasonable estimate of the cost of providing additional services to the sublessee such as maintaining agreed temperature ranges with regard to the HVAC system and specified air pressures to fume hoods that are in addition to the costs Tenant would otherwise incur for such portion of the Premises. If the sublease is subsequently extended, the then outstanding balance of costs described in clause (b) above shall be reamortized over the remainder of the then sublease term and including the extension. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to provide subsequent reports for and confirmations and calculations of the amounts subtracted for (b) through (e) above and the parties agree that Landlord's share of the rent profit may be adjusted from time to time to more closely reflect the actual costs incurred by Tenant and reasonably allocated to sublessee pursuant to this Section. 14. TENANT'S INDEMNIFICATION Except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties, and subject to the waiver of subrogation in Section 9.7, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its employees, mortgagee(s) and agents ("Landlord Related Parties") harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, damages and costs (including attorneys fees and costs) arising out of (a) its use of or activities on the Premises, (b) any acts or omissions (including violations of Law) by Tenant or Tenant Related Parties (Section 19.1), and (c) any breach of this Lease by Tenant or Tenant Related Parties. 15. TENANT'S INSOLVENCY OR DEFAULT 15.1 Insolvency. Tenant shall be in default upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events (each, an "Event of Default"): (i) Tenant files a petition in bankruptcy or otherwise seeks any judicial protection, stay or relief against its creditors generally, (ii) an involuntary petition in bankruptcy against Tenant or any request for the appointment of a receiver or a custodian or other similar officer for any portion of the Tenant's property is filed or made and not dismissed within 90 days; or (iii) the 16 assignment for the benefit of creditors of any portion of the Tenant's property is made; or (iv) Tenant's interests in this Lease shall be attached, levied upon or judicially seized, whereupon Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease, and neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant shall be entitled to be in possession of the Premises but shall forthwith surrender the same, and Landlord, in addition to the other rights Landlord may have, retains as security for its damages any Rent, Security Deposit or other monies received by Landlord on behalf of Tenant. If any such action, case or petition has been commenced by an unrelated third party against Tenant and is dismissed within a period of 90 days, then the Event of Default shall be deemed cured for purposes hereof. This Lease is upon the further condition that if a petition for relief under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code is filed by an unrelated third party against Tenant and the trustee or debtor or debtor in possession has not cured all defaults hereunder and assigned or assumed this Lease under the Bankruptcy Code within 90 days after the entry of the Order for Relief, then this Lease shall, at Landlord's sole option, terminate. In case of termination pursuant to this Section 15.1, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all costs and expenses and loss of Rent, including amounts due under Section 15.3. 15.2 Defaults. Tenant shall be in default hereunder if: (i) Tenant fails to pay any installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent when due; or (ii) Tenant abandons the Premises, or (iii) Tenant fails to perform any other covenant, term, agreement or condition of this Lease not referred to in (i), (ii) or (iv) when required; or (iv) any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant is cancelled or reduced below its required limits or in its scope of coverage and Tenant does not replace the same at least 20 business days before the effective date of such cancellation or reduction (an "Insurance Default"). An "Event of Default" will exist if (a) Tenant is in default under subsection (i) and the default is not cured within 5 days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such default; (b) Tenant abandons the Premises, (c) Tenant is in default under subsection (iii) and the default is not cured within 30 days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice specifying the default (provided that if the default can not be cured within the 30 day period, Tenant shall have such additional time to cure the default as is reasonably necessary so long as Tenant commences the cure within 10 days after such notice is given and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion within 90 days after Tenant is given the default notice, and such deadline may be further extended for Force Majeure (Section 27.11), provided that Tenant delivers notice to Landlord of such Force Majeure and monthly written status reports during any further extension arising therefrom), (d) an Insurance Default has occurred and Tenant has not cured such default by the sooner of 5 days after Landlord's notice of default or 10 days before the effective date of such cancellation or reduction, or (e) a default by Tenant occurs and is not cured within any applicable cure period, under (i) the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the Lease between Landlord's Affiliate and Tenant dated concurrently herewith for the property located at 1201 Eastlake Avenue East, Seattle, WA ("Steam Plant Lease"), or (iii) the Line of Credit Loan (Section 26). When there is an Event of Default, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, exercise any of its legal, equitable or contractual remedies for a Tenant default, which may include an election to terminate this Lease by notice, lawful entry or otherwise, in which latter event Landlord shall be entitled to recover possession of the Premises from Tenant and those claiming through Tenant. Any termination of this Lease and any repossession of the Premises shall be without prejudice to any remedies which Landlord might otherwise have. In case of such termination, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all third party out of pocket costs and expenses including the amounts due under Section 15.3 and loss of Rent. All notice and cure periods provided for in this Lease shall run concurrently with any notice and cure periods provided for in any and all of the agreements referred to in part (e) of this Section. 15.3 Expense Recovery. Expenses for which Tenant shall indemnify Landlord shall include all third-party out of pocket collection costs, including attorneys' fees and all other third party out of pocket costs proximately caused by the Event of Default, with or without litigation, including any such costs incurred in connection with issues that are particular to a bankruptcy or any other type of proceeding and on appeal. These sums shall be due immediately upon notice from Landlord and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (Section 15.8) if not paid within 5 business days after written demand. If proceedings are brought under the Bankruptcy Code which relate to this Lease, Landlord shall be paid the costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the proceedings. 17 15.4 Damages. Notwithstanding termination of this Lease and reentry by Landlord pursuant to Section 15.1 or Section 15.2, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant: (i) The worth at the time of an award (including interest at the Default Rate) of any unpaid Rent which had been earned by Landlord at the time of termination; plus (ii) The worth at the time of an award (including interest at the Default Rate) of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of an award exceeds the amount of loss of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) The worth at the time of an award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and Additional Rent for the balance of the Term (as extended, if at all prior to termination) exceeds the amount of such loss of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided (including Default Interest from the date of the award until paid). Such worth at the time of award shall be computed at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, or successor Federal Reserve Bank, on the date of termination; plus (iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the damage 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, including amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 15.3. 15.5 Non-Termination of Lease. If Landlord reenters the Premises pursuant to Section 15.1, Landlord may elect, by notice to Tenant, not to terminate this Lease, in which case Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for the loss of Rent by a payment at the end of each month during the remaining Term representing the difference between the Rent due in accordance with this Lease and the rental actually derived from the Premises by Landlord for such month. Without any previous notice or demand, separate actions may be maintained by Landlord against Tenant from time to time to recover any damages which, at the commencement of any action, have then or theretofore become due and payable to Landlord under this Section 15 without waiting until the end of the Term. 15.6 Reletting. If this Lease is terminated as hereinabove provided or by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may at any time and from time to time relet the Premises in whole or in part either in its own name or as agent of Tenant for any period equal to or greater or less than the remainder of the then-current Term. All rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied first to the payment of the costs of the reletting and alterations and repairs; second, to the payment of any amounts other than Base Rent due to Landlord; third, to Rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the residual, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent when it becomes due. 15.7 Right of Landlord to Cure Defaults. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, cure the Event of Default, for the account and at the expense of Tenant, if Tenant has not cured the default within 15 business days' after written notice from Landlord that Landlord intends to take action to cure Tenant's Event of Default; provided, however, such notice need not precede Landlord's payment or action in any circumstance that involves an immediate risk of foreclosure, loss or impairment of any insurance, property damage, personal injury, or enforcement by any governmental entity. Where an Event of Default concerns a release or imminent release of Hazardous Materials, Landlord will not have the ability to exercise self-help if Tenant (a) has previously delivered to Landlord a Hazardous Materials Response Plan (the "Response Plan") which outlines methods and persons reasonably acceptable to Landlord to address, treat, abate, forestall or prevent the release or imminent release of Hazardous Materials; and (b) promptly delivers written notice to Landlord of any release or imminent release of Hazardous Materials along with confirmation that Tenant is complying with the Response Plan. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any third party out of pocket expenses incurred in such cure, with interest accruing pursuant to Section 15.8, as Additional Rent, within 30 days after receipt of Landlord's invoice. 18 15.8 Default Interest. Any amounts owing from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease which are not paid when due shall bear interest at the greater of (a) 12% per annum or (b) 4% higher than and varying daily with the prime rate quoted by any of the three largest banks in the United States (as measured by assets) or such similar rate that is generally publicly announced by commercial lending institutions as an index for loans to its most credit-worthy customers (said prime rate or similar rate being hereinafter referred to as the "Prime Rate"), in either event calculated from the date due or expended until and including the date of payment (the "Default Rate"). 15.9 Other Available Remedies. At Landlord's election, upon an Event of Default, Landlord may pursue such other amounts or other remedies in addition to or in lieu of any one or more of the specific remedies listed in this Section and no articulation of any remedy shall be construed to be in lieu of any others that may be available to Landlord at law or in equity. 16. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT 16.1 Default. Landlord shall be in default hereunder if Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within 30 business days after receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying such failure; provided that if the nature of the default is such that more than 30 business days are necessary for the cure, Landlord shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary so long as Landlord commences the cure within the cure period and diligently pursues it to completion. Tenant shall not have the right to terminate the Lease due to a Landlord default. 16.2 Limitations on Landlord's Liability. The term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title of the Premises. If Landlord transfers its interest in this Lease other than for security purposes, Landlord shall cause its assignee or transferee to assume the provisions of this Lease and Landlord shall deliver notice of such assignment or transfer and a copy of the effective instrument of transfer to Tenant within 15 business days after the date of transfer. Tenant shall be entitled to continue to pay Rent and give all notices to Landlord until Tenant has received the foregoing from Landlord. Landlord shall deliver all funds in which Tenant has an interest except those which are then in the possession of an insurance or condemnation trustee, including but not limited to Tenant's Security Deposit to Landlord's purchaser or assignee. From and after such transfer, Landlord shall be released from all liability toward Tenant arising from this Lease due to any act, occurrence or omission of Landlord's successors occurring after the transfer of Landlord's interest in this Lease, provided Landlord's purchaser or assignee expressly assumes Landlord's duties and covenants under this Lease subject to the same limitations upon its personal liability as are applicable to Landlord in Section 16.3. Landlord's liability hereunder is limited to the extent agreed upon in Section 16.3 below, and except for Landlord's gross negligence or intentional misconduct, Landlord shall not be liable for any business interruption, property damage or personal injury (including death) sustained by Tenant or any person claiming through Tenant resulting from any accident, casualty, or other event or matter of any kind or nature occurring on or about the Premises and Tenant hereby waives and covenants not to bring any action based upon any claims or losses for which Landlord is not liable as stated above. 16.3 Further Limitations on Landlord's Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT TO THE CONTRARY: (A) LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO TENANT OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (AND TENANT AND EACH SUCH OTHER PERSON ASSUME ALL RISK OF) LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY, WHETHER ACTUAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL TO: ANY TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY OF EVERY KIND AND DESCRIPTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION TRADE FIXTURES, REMOVABLE EQUIPMENT, INVENTORY, SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS, LABORATORY ANIMALS, PRODUCT, SPECIMENS, SAMPLES, AND/OR SCIENTIFIC, BUSINESS, ACCOUNTING AND OTHER RECORDS OF EVERY KIND AND DESCRIPTION KEPT AT THE PREMISES AND ANY AND ALL INCOME DERIVED OR DERIVABLE THEREFROM; (B) TENANT WAIVES ALL CLAIMS FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; (C) THERE SHALL BE NO PERSONAL RECOURSE TO LANDLORD FOR ANY ACT OR OCCURRENCE IN, ON OR ABOUT THE PREMISES OR ARISING IN ANY WAY UNDER THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN 19 LANDLORD AND TENANT WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY LIABILITY OF LANDLORD HEREUNDER SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED SOLELY TO LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE PREMISES AND ANY PROCEEDS FROM SALE, CONDEMNATION THEREOF OR ANY INSURANCE PROCEEDS PAYABLE IN RESPECT OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE PREMISES OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH LOSS AND (D) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY BE ASSERTED AGAINST ANY OF LANDLORD'S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL LANDLORD OR ANY OF LANDLORD'S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS BE LIABLE FOR INJURY TO TENANT'S BUSINESS OR FOR ANY LOSS OF INCOME OR PROFIT THEREFROM. NOTWITHSTANDING THE CONTRARY, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 16.3 WILL LIMIT THE LIABILITY OF THOSE LANDLORD'S CONTRACTORS OR AGENTS WHO EXECUTE A SEPARATE "ACCESS AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT" (SECTION 21.2) DIRECTLY WITH TENANT, AND SUCH AGENTS AND CONTRACTORS' LIABILITY DIRECTLY TO TENANT SHALL BE AS AGREED UPON IN THOSE SEPARATE AGREEMENTS ALTHOUGH IN NO EVENT SHALL TENANT HAVE A CLAIM AGAINST LANDLORD UNDER SUCH SEPARATE AGREEMENT, AS LANDLORD'S LIABILITY FOR THE ACTIONS OF ITS CONTRACTORS AND AGENTS IS LIMITED TO THE EXTENT AGREED UPON IN THIS SECTION 16.3 AND IN SECTION 21.5. 17. LANDLORD'S FINANCING. So long as Tenant's rights of possession to the Premises will not be disturbed in the absence of a Tenant's Event of Default under this Lease, Tenant shall, upon request, enter into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement ("SNDA") with any Landlord mortgagee in the form customarily required by such mortgagee, provided that such form does not require Tenant to adversely modify its rights or obligations under this Lease. Tenant agrees to provide Landlord's ,mortgagees with copies of notices sent to Landlord pursuant to Section15, upon Landlord's request and pursuant to the SNDA. 18. TENANT'S FINANCING. Tenant shall not pledge or encumber this Lease or enter into a financing lease and leaseback or comparable financing arrangement. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant regarding any financing by Tenant which encumbers Removable Equipment or other personal property, including the execution of reasonable confirmations regarding the status of this Lease and the extent to which Tenant's lender may have access to the Premises to inspect or remove the Removable Equipment during the term hereof, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord of all of its third party out of pocket costs and expenses, including its attorneys' fees in doing so. Tenant may enter into UCC fixture filings and/or financing statements for its Removable Equipment and other personal property. 19. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES 19.1 Prohibition. Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials (Section 19.8) to be brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in or about, or released or disposed of from, the Premises in violation of applicable Environmental Requirements (as hereinafter defined) by Tenant, its Affiliates and their respective assignees, sublessees, employees, agents or contractors (collectively "Tenant Related Party"). 19.2 Tenant's Indemnity. If Tenant breaches the obligation stated in Section 19.1, or if the presence of any Hazardous Materials in the Premises results in contamination of the Premises prior to or during the Term, any Renewal Term or any holding over by Hazardous Materials brought into, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in or about, or released or disposed of from, the Premises by anyone other than Landlord and Landlord's employees, agents and contractors (collectively the "Relevant Contamination"), Tenant hereby indemnifies and shall defend and hold Landlord, its officers, directors, employees, agents and contractors harmless from any and all actions (including, without limitation, remedial or enforcement actions of any kind, administrative or judicial proceedings, and orders or judgments arising out of or resulting therefrom), costs, claims, damages (including, without limitation, punitive damages and damages based upon diminution in value of the Premises or the loss of, or restriction on, use of the Premises), expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys', consultants' and experts' fees, court costs and amounts paid in settlement of any claims or actions), fines, forfeitures or other civil, administrative or criminal penalties, injunctive or other relief (whether or not based upon 20 personal injury, property damage, or contamination of, or adverse effects upon, the environment, water tables or natural resources), liabilities or losses (collectively, "Environmental Claims") which arise prior to, during or after the Term as a result of Relevant Contamination. This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, treatment, remediation, removal, or restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental authority because of Hazardous Materials present in the air, soil or ground water above, on, or under the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Premises or any adjacent property caused or permitted by Tenant or any Tenant Related Party results in the Relevant Contamination of the Premises or any adjacent property, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense and in accordance with applicable Environmental Requirements as are necessary to return the Premises or any adjacent property to the condition existing prior to the time of such contamination, provided that Landlord's approval of such action shall first be obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such actions would not potentially have any material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this Section 19, (a) for claims relating to Relevant Contamination of property adjacent to the Premises, Tenant's obligations under this Section 19.2 are limited to any clean up requirement imposed by a governmental entity; and (b) in no event shall Tenant's obligations in this Section 19 include any Hazardous Materials releases to the extent they are caused by Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors. 19.3 Tenant's Business. Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Section to prohibit Tenant from using the Premises pursuant to the Use Requirements. Tenant may operate its business according to prudent industry practices so long as the use or presence of Hazardous Materials is strictly and properly monitored according to all applicable Environmental Requirements. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date copies of Tenant's current Hazardous Materials reports, which list each type of Hazardous Materials currently present at the Premises and thereafter to annually provide Landlord with copies of updated reports to incorporate any additional Hazardous Materials which Tenant has brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated on or released or disposed of from the Premises during the past year, along with copies of citations, claims of noncompliance or liability, Remediation Plans relating to Hazardous Materials, if any and Hazardous Materials assessments provided by third parties, if any. Landlord agrees that Tenant's annual delivery of reports Tenant has prepared and delivered to governmental entities to comply with Environmental Requirements reporting requirements will satisfy this Section 19.3 and specifically, Landlord agrees that either the HMIS (Hazardous Material Inventory Statement) Report submitted to the Seattle Fire Department or the Dangerous Waste Annual Report filed with the Washington State Department of Ecology, satisfy this reporting requirement. To the extent not included in any other written report given by Tenant to Landlord, and reasonably requested by Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of permits and permit applications relating to Hazardous Materials at the Premises. To the extent reasonably requested by Landlord, Tenant will summarily explain requested matters regarding information provided to Landlord by Tenant under this Section 19.3. Tenant is not required, to include in the annual Hazardous Materials reports information of a proprietary nature. It is not the intent of this Section to provide Landlord with proprietary information which could be detrimental to Tenant's business should such information become possessed by Tenant's competitors. 19.4 Tenant's Representations and Warranties. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that as of the Effective Date, except as related to 1150 Eastlake Ave. East in Seattle and as disclosed in Property Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (i) Tenant has not been required by any prior landlord, lender or governmental authority at any time to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating any property which contamination was permitted by Tenant or its predecessors or resulted from Tenant's or its predecessors' action or use of the Premises, and (ii) Tenant is not subject to any enforcement order for any property issued by any governmental authority in connection with the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, any order related to the failure to make a required reporting to any governmental authority). 21 19.5 Testing. Subject to the terms of Section 21.5, Landlord shall have the right to conduct annual tests and examinations of the Premises, at Landlord's sole expense, to determine whether any contamination of the Premises or on the Premises has occurred as a result of Tenant's use. Tenant shall be required to pay Landlord's third-party out of pocket expenses relating to such annual test or examination of the Premises only if such test or examination discloses unreported Relevant Contamination for which Tenant is liable pursuant to Section 19.2. If Tenant conducts its own tests of the Premises, at Tenant's expense, using third party contractors and test procedures reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and the tests are certified to Landlord, Landlord shall accept such tests in lieu of Landlord's annual tests. Landlord's right to conduct Hazardous Materials testing of the Premises at all other times to determine if contamination has occurred as a result of Tenant's use of the Premises shall be governed by Sections 15.7 and 21. In connection with Landlord's Hazardous Materials testing or examination, upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such non-proprietary information concerning the use of Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Related Party. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of all third party, non-confidential reports and tests of the Premises made by or on behalf of Landlord during the Term without representation or warranty and subject to a confidentiality agreement. If necessary and pursuant to Section 15.7 and a Response Plan referenced therein, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and satisfactorily remediate any environmental conditions identified by such testing in accordance with all Environmental Requirements. Landlord's receipt of or satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights which Landlord may have against Tenant. 19.6 Underground Tanks. Tenant will not install underground storage tanks storing Hazardous Materials on the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's advance written consent, which will be given or withheld at Landlord's sole discretion. If Tenant is permitted to install underground storage tanks, it shall install, use, monitor, operate, maintain, upgrade and manage such storage tanks, maintain appropriate records, obtain and maintain appropriate insurance, implement reporting procedures, properly close any underground storage tanks, and take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary or required under applicable state and federal Environmental Requirements, as such now exists or may hereafter be adopted or amended in connection with the installation, use, maintenance, management, operation, upgrading and closure of such underground storage tanks. 19.7 Tenant's Obligations. Tenant's obligations under this Section 19 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. During any period of time after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease required by Tenant or Landlord to complete the removal from the Premises of any Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, the release and termination of any licenses or permits restricting the use of the Premises and the completion of a surrender plan reasonably approved by Landlord), Tenant shall continue to pay the pro-rata Rent as reasonably adjusted to reflect the differential rental values of different portions of the Premises, in accordance with this Lease for that portion of the Premises which cannot be relet by Landlord due to and during such clean up, provided such Rent shall be pro-rated daily and provided further that Tenant's obligation to pay the pro-rated Rent under this Section 19.7 is conditioned on Tenant having full access to such portion of the Premises. 19.8 Definitions. As used herein, the term "Environmental Requirements" means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, judgments, orders or other similar enactments of any governmental authority regulating or relating to health, safety, or environmental conditions on, under, or about the Premises, or the environment, including without limitation, the following: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and all state and local counterparts thereto, and any regulations or policies promulgated or issued thereunder. As used herein, the term "Hazardous Materials" means and includes any substance, material, waste, pollutant, or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic, or regulated by reason of its impact or potential impact on humans, animals and/or the environment under any Environmental Requirements, asbestos and petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas) and Stacchybotris chartarum and other toxic molds. As defined in Environmental Requirements, Tenant is and shall be deemed to be the "operator" of Tenant's "facility" and the "owner" of 22 all Hazardous Materials brought on the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Related Party, and the wastes, by-products, or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom. 19.9 Notice to Landlord. To the extent that Tenant or Landlord has actual knowledge thereof, such party shall promptly provide notice to the other of any of the following matters: (i) any proceeding or investigation commenced or threatened by any governmental authority, against Tenant or Landlord, with respect to the presence, suspected presence, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials on or from the Premises; (ii) all written notices of any pending or threatened claims or citations regarding Hazardous Materials on the Premises or released from the Premises; (iii) the discovery of any occurrence or condition on the Premises, or written notice received by Tenant of an occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Premises, which reasonably could be expected to lead to the Premises or any portion thereof being in violation of Environmental Requirements or which might subject Landlord to any claim alleging potential liability arising out of (A) the presence, or release into the environment, of any Hazardous Materials at the Premises, or (B) circumstances forming the basis of any violation, or alleged violation, of any Environmental Requirement; and (iv) the commencement, nature, extent and completion of any remedial work. 20. FIRST OFFER. Tenant shall have a "Right of First Offer" if Landlord elects to market or sell the Premises to an unrelated third party. In such event, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a notice in writing of its intention to sell, setting forth the terms under which Landlord is prepared to sell the Premises. Tenant shall have 30 days to notify Landlord in writing whether it wishes to purchase the Premises on the proposed terms. If Landlord's notice states that its affiliate also intends to sell the Lake Union Steam Plant property also leased by Tenant, Tenant will be required to purchase both unless Landlord and its affiliate specifically provides a single building alternative. If Tenant notifies Landlord that it wishes to purchase the applicable property (the "Sale Property") on the terms and conditions stated in Landlord's notice, the parties will negotiate in good faith for 30 days to reach agreement on a purchase and sale agreement. In the event that Tenant does not notify Landlord of its intent to purchase the Sale Property or the parties are unable to reach an agreement on a purchase and sale agreement within the prescribed time frames, Landlord shall be free to sell the Sale Property to any third party on such terms and conditions that Landlord finds acceptable. If Landlord does not transfer ownership of the Sale Property within 18 months of its original notice to Tenant, Tenant's Right of First Offer shall be reinstated. If Landlord does transfer ownership within 18 months of its original notice to Tenant to any unrelated third party, Tenant's Right of First Offer shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect for that or any subsequent sale of any property demised by this Lease or the Steam Plant Lease. All of Tenant's rights under this Section are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned, pledged or transferred to any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such rights may be assigned or transferred to Tenant's Affiliate (Section 13.2). Tenant also agrees that its rights provided for in this Section shall not apply (a) so long as any Event of Default exists hereunder at the time Landlord's notice was otherwise required to be given to Tenant, in which event Landlord may proceed to negotiate and consummate a sale free of such right, (b) to any lease, mortgage or encumbrance of the Premises or other transfer of less than fee simple title thereto or any portion thereof, (c) to any transfer of any kind of any portion or all of the membership interests in Landlord, or (d) to any conveyance of the Premises or any portion thereof to (i) any entity that controls, is controlled by or under the common control with Landlord or any of their respective affiliates, or (ii) any entity in condemnation or in lieu of condemnation, or (iii) any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or deed in lieu of a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure, and Tenant's right of first offer shall automatically terminate with respect to the Premises or any portion thereof which are conveyed pursuant to part (ii) or (iii) of this Section. 23 21. ACCESS BY LANDLORD 21.1 Access. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 21, Tenant shall permit Landlord and its employees and authorized agents, consultants, contractors, and representatives (with Landlord, the "Landlord Representatives") to enter upon the Premises during normal business hours to inspect, examine, and show the Premises for lease (during the last 12 months of the Term), financing or sale, or to cure an Event of Default pursuant to Section 15.7 (generally, "Inspections"); provided, however, Landlord may enter the Premises during other hours when it is reasonably necessary to either address an emergency or an Event of Default. This right specifically excludes the right to obtain proprietary information relating to Tenant's business operations. Hazardous Materials tests and responses are specifically limited by Sections 15.7 and 19.5. 21.2 Conditions to Entry. At least 2 business days prior to entering the Premises or conducting any Inspections, Landlord shall (a) give Tenant oral or written notice of the times and dates it wishes to do so, (b) make arrangements with Tenant to have the Landlord Representatives to be accompanied by a representative of Tenant ("Tenant's Representative"), and (c) cause each Landlord Representative (other than the Landlord) accessing the Premises to sign an "Access and Confidentiality Agreement" in the form attached as Exhibit C or such other form reasonably acceptable to Tenant. The advance notice agreed upon shall apply in emergencies and following a default; provided that Tenant promptly delivers to Landlord reasonable assurances that such emergency or default is being adequately and diligently addressed (and for Hazardous Materials, so long as Tenant delivers and confirms compliance with its Response Plan). All Inspections shall be in accordance with all applicable Laws and regulations. Tenant agrees to make reasonable efforts to cause Tenant's Representatives to be available for such purposes during normal business hours. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have no liability for any breach of an Access and Confidentiality Agreement by anyone other than Landlord except to the extent of Landlord's indemnity set forth in Section 21.5 below. 21.3 Inspection Costs. Except for any salary to be paid to Tenant's Representatives or as otherwise stated in this Lease or when necessitated by an Event of Default, Landlord shall bear the cost of all Inspections. 21.4 Inspection Obligations. (a) In conducting any Inspections, Landlord Representatives shall: (i) not materially interfere with the use of the Premises by any occupant; (ii) not materially interfere with the operation and maintenance of the Premises or any construction on the Premises; (iii) not damage any part of the Premises or personal property located at the Premises; (iv) not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to any Tenant's Representative or any other person or entity or their respective employees, agents, contractors, representatives, guests, or invitees; (iv) at Tenant's request, provide Tenant with complete and accurate copies of all of the third-party reports and assessments of the Premises that are not proprietary to Landlord (collectively "Inspection Reports"); and (v) provide Tenant with copies of any Inspection Reports which provide information relating to Tenant's obligations under this Lease. No Landlord Representative will conduct any invasive Inspections which damage the Premises, unless such Inspections are (1) otherwise permitted by this Lease, (2) required by any governmental entity, (3) subject to Section 21.2, and except as restricted under Section 15.7, reasonably necessary in connection with a release or potential release of Hazardous Materials or there exists a reasonable belief that Environmental Requirements have been violated and such access and testing is conducted only by Landlord Representatives who are appropriately qualified as experts; or (4) are otherwise reasonably necessary and Landlord has first obtained Tenant's consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. For Inspections relating to Hazardous Materials, the terms of Section 19.5 shall also apply. If the Premises are damaged during an Inspection, Landlord will immediately repair such damage and restore the Premises, pursuant to Section 21.5 below. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any such report or assessment or the suitability thereof for use by any person other than Landlord. (b) Landlord and all Landlord Related Parties, including their respective partners, members, officers, directors, and attorneys will treat as confidential the information disclosed to them by Tenant or discovered on account of or pursuant to Landlord's Inspections (which information is disclosed 24 orally, in writing or in visual or electronic form, and including any observations, knowledge, information, reports (written or oral), tests, or studies (together with the results of such studies and tests) obtained by or provided to Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties regarding the Premises, whether in connection with the Inspections, or otherwise, but shall not include information known by Landlord or Landlord Related Parties prior to any disclosures by Tenant or any Inspections or any other information that is generally known or available to the public) (the "Information"), giving it at least the same care as Landlord's own confidential information, and make no use of any such Information except in connection with (a) verifying Tenant's compliance with the terms of this Lease, (b) disclosing the condition of the Premises in connection with a sale, financing or lease of the Premises, or (c) to the extent required by court or legal requirements (which may include SEC regulations, NYSE and NASDAQ requirements). In addition, and except as required by applicable law, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall make or agree to any press releases in which the other party is identified without the prior written consent of the other party, and when such consent is given, the information disclosed and the persons to whom it is disclosed shall be limited to such releases. To the extent that the terms, provisions, and obligations of this Section 21, are inconsistent with the other provisions of this Lease, the terms of this Section 21 will control, but subject to limitations stated in Section 16.3. This Section 21.4(b) is not applicable to any Landlord Related Party who is also a Landlord Representative (Section 21.2) who executes a Access and Confidentiality Agreement pursuant to Section 21.2. 21.5 Indemnification and Repair. Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Tenant), and hold Tenant and its officers, directors, successors, and assigns harmless from and against any and all liens, claims, causes of action, liabilities, demands, suits, obligations, losses, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) (generally, "Damages") including without limitation Damages for any actual physical damage to the Premises or any injury to persons, all to the extent caused by or in connection with the entry onto the Premises by a Landlord Representative or an act of a Landlord Representative in connection with the Inspections; provided, however, that Landlord's indemnity hereunder shall be limited to actual, direct damages only and shall not include (a) any consequential damages, or (b) any damages to the extent resulting from (i) the acts or omissions of any Tenant's Representative, or (ii) the discovery of any condition of the Premises that existed prior to Landlord's entry thereon (a "Pre-Existing Condition"), except that such indemnity shall apply to the extent, and only to the extent, such Pre-Existing Condition is directly exacerbated, aggravated, or worsened by the entry onto the Premises by an Landlord Representative or an act of an Landlord Representative in connection with the Inspections. In addition, Landlord shall promptly repair any physical damage to the Premises caused by any Landlord Representative (including without limitation damage relating to an Inspection) and shall promptly restore the Premises to the condition in which it existed prior to such entry; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to repair any damage caused by the acts or omissions of any Tenant's Representative or to remediate, remove, contain, abate, or control any Pre-Existing Condition, except to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to restore the Pre-Existing Condition to the condition in which it existed prior to such entry. As an example only, if a Landlord Representative should cause a limited and confined release of asbestos while taking a sample of ceiling materials within the Premises, Landlord's sole obligation would be to remove, control and abate any released asbestos, indemnify and defend Tenant for any personal injury Damages claimed relating to the release, and to re-seal the ceiling materials where the sample was taken; Landlord would have no further obligation to remediate, remove, contain, abate, control, or take any further action whatsoever with respect to the asbestos contained in the sampled or any other ceiling materials. Landlord's obligations under this Section 21 shall survive termination of the Lease; provided that Tenant will only have two years from the expiration or termination of this Lease to commence an action against Landlord under this Section. 21.6 Building Signage. Landlord hereby agrees not to modify or require any changes to the current signage at the Premises, and further agrees that during the Term, Tenant shall have the sole right to designate the name of the Premises', but subject to Landlord's consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld (e.g., the "Earl Davie Building"). Tenant's right under this Section 21.6 are personal to Tenant and Tenant may not Transfer (Section 13.1) such rights, except to Tenant's Affiliates (Section 13.2). 25 22. CONTESTS 22.1 Notice. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Lease which require Tenant pay certain amounts to third parties ("Third Party Payments") on or before the date due (Sections 3.4, 4.3 and 6), Tenant shall not be required to (i) pay any Third Party Amounts, (ii) comply with any Law, or (iii) discharge or remove any lien arising out of Tenant, so long as Tenant contests, in good faith and at its expense, the existence, the amount or the applicability or validity thereof, and by appropriate proceedings so long as during the pendency thereof Tenant takes any necessary steps to prevent (A) the collection of, or other realization upon, the claim so contested, (B) the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Premises, or the Rent to satisfy the same, (C) any interference with the use or occupancy of any of the Premises, and (D) the cancellation of any insurance Tenant is required to carry pursuant to Section 9. 22.2 Conditions. In no event shall Tenant pursue any contest in such manner that exposes Landlord to (i) criminal liability, penalty or sanction, or (ii) defeasance of its interest in the Premises. 22.3 Hold Harmless. Tenant agrees that each contest shall be promptly and diligently prosecuted to a final conclusion, except that Tenant shall have the right to attempt to settle or compromise such contest through negotiations; provided that if such contest is not concluded and all amounts for which Tenant is liable are not paid prior to the expiration of this Lease, then Tenant agrees that its obligation to diligently pursue or settle such contest and its liability for such unpaid amounts shall survive the expiration of this Lease. Tenant shall pay and save Landlord harmless against any and all losses, judgments, decrees and costs (including all attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with any such contest and shall, promptly after the final determination of such contest, fully pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or be determined to be payable therein or in connection therewith, together with all penalties, fines, interest, costs and expenses thereof or in connection therewith, and perform all acts the performance of which shall be ordered or decreed as a result thereof. 23. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Each party shall at any time and from time to time upon not less than 20 days written notice from the other and without charge, execute and deliver to the other an estoppel certificate in the form of Exhibit J. 24. EXPANSION 24.1 Overview. Tenant shall have the right in its sole discretion, but no obligation, to expand the Earl Davie Building to the north as described in the schematic design included in the revised basis of design dated August 30, 2002 (the "Basis of Design") prepared by MBT Architecture ("MBT") provided to Landlord by Tenant (the "Expansion"). The schematic design is included in Exhibit H. Tenant will be primarily responsible for the design and construction of the Expansion with limited oversight by Landlord. Prior to commencing the Expansion, Landlord and Tenant shall appoint one or more individuals in a written notice to the other which will authorize and enable the recipient to communicate with such individual or each of them with respect to all matters involving the Expansion, and all payments, notices, directions, agreements, waivers and other actions made by or to any such individuals shall be conclusively those of that party without the necessity for the other party to inquire into or ascertain such individual's authority. Beginning in 2001 and continuing through the present, Tenant has been planning the Expansion. This work has included engaging MBT to work on the preliminary design, working with the City of Seattle ("City") and the Washington State Department of Transportation ("WSDOT") regarding acquiring the necessary land for the Expansion, initiating discussions with community groups regarding mitigation issues, and consulting with Turner Construction ("Turner") on project construction planning, cost estimates, identification of recommended subcontractors, and other preconstruction work, and with Clark, Richardson & Biskup Consulting Engineers ("CRB") on project engineering. Based on their work to date on the Expansion, Tenant anticipates continuing to work with MBT, CRB and Turner on the development of the Expansion. All contracts with third party contractors, architects and service providers in connection with permitting, designing and constructing the Expansion and all permits and designs, plans and specifications therefor shall be subject to Landlord's approval and the contracts shall include provisions such that the plans, specifications and design shall be the sole property of Landlord. 26 24.2 Land. The Expansion will be located to the north of the Earl Davie Building, on a combination of the existing undeveloped land included in the Premises and property to be acquired in connection with the vacation of the portion of Bellevue Avenue East lying easterly of Eastlake Avenue East, all approximately as shown on the drawing attached as Exhibit K. If Tenant elects to go forward with the Expansion, then upon approval of the vacation ordinance by the City Council, the southwesterly half of the vacated road would attach to the land described on Exhibit A to this Lease and become owned by Landlord by operation of law. If Tenant does not elect to go forward with the Expansion, then the Expansion Land (as defined below) will not become owned by the Landlord or attached to the land described on Exhibit A. If Tenant elects to discontinue its acquisition of the Expansion Land, it shall give prompt written notice thereof to Landlord and Landlord shall have the right to pursue the vacation and acquisition, in which event the Expansion Land shall not be added to this Lease. Tenant shall make available to Landlord such reports, applications, surveys and studies as it may have with respect to the acquisition of the Expansion Land and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for its actual third party out of pocket costs incurred to obtain the same to the extent such deliveries result in out of pocket savings to Landlord. Tenant's goal, which has been discussed with WSDOT and the City but not yet fully agreed upon, is to have the City vacate the street and for Tenant to acquire from WSDOT the majority of the northeasterly half of the vacated street that would otherwise become part of WSDOT's property. The property acquired from WSDOT shall be transferred to Landlord by WSDOT or Tenant. As part of that acquisition, Tenant has offered to transfer to WSDOT the small parcel Tenant acquired from King County and enabling WSDOT to retain as an access way to its southerly parcel. Tenant anticipates continuing these discussions to reach formal agreements with the City and WSDOT with the final result of acquiring the property necessary for the Expansion (the "Expansion Land"). The costs incurred in this process are part of the Expansion Costs described below. Following acquisition of the Expansion Land as a result of Tenant's efforts, Landlord and Tenant agree to execute an amendment to this Lease modifying Exhibit A to include the Expansion Land. As improvements are constructed on the Expansion Land, the improvements shall automatically be owned by Landlord, included within the Premises, and subject to all of the terms of the Lease, including Tenant's liability for Additional Rent and its indemnities herein that relates thereto, except Base Rent shall be adjusted as and in the amount specified in Section 24.10. 24.3 Design. As noted above, Tenant has engaged MBT to do preliminary design and engineering work for the Expansion. Landlord has received and approved the proposal dated July 3, 2002 from MBT and a proposal dated August 26, 2002 from CRB for continuing work on the Expansion. Following this preliminary work, Tenant, in consultation with Landlord, will negotiate a contract with MBT for the balance of the engineering and design work for the Expansion (the "Design Contract"). CRB's work under its current contract will be substantially completed prior to the Commencement Date. CRB may perform additional consulting engineering work if requested by Tenant. Within 5 business days after receipt of the proposed Design Contract and any amendments thereto, Landlord shall either provide its approval or provide detailed comments on changes required to obtain its approval. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its approval of the Design Contract, and any amendments thereto. Tenant's obligations include diligently enforcing the Design Contract and warranties and bringing defects to Landlord's attention in a timely manner. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, liability and damages arising from its actions as "Owner" under the Design Contract. The design must result in the Premises conforming to the Function Requirements and Use Requirements applicable following completion of the Expansion. 24.4 Plans and Specifications. Pursuant to the Design Contract, MBT has prepared the Basis of Design and Landlord has approved the Basis of Design. MBT will prepare construction drawings and specifications (the "Proposed Plans"). The Proposed Plans shall be submitted to Landlord for its review and approval. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its approval of the Proposed Plans and after receipt of same will either approve them or disapprove them within 15 business days after receipt giving specific comments regarding what changes would be required to obtain Landlord's approval. If the Proposed Plans do not vary from the Basis of Design already approved by Landlord, then Landlord shall be required to approve the Proposed Plans. The plans and specifications approved by Landlord are referred to herein as the "Final Plans." Following Landlord's approval of the Final Plans, Tenant will continue to work with MBT and Turner to optimize the plans and construction, which will result in 27 subsequent changes to the Final Plans. Tenant shall notify Landlord promptly upon its actual knowledge of a Material Departure from the Final Plans; and Tenant must also present all Material Departures from the Final Plans to Landlord for its approval, together with a revised plan from MBT detailing the Material Departure(s). Landlord will respond within 5 business days of Landlord's receipt of such request. "Material Departure" shall mean a change which (a) materially adversely affects the quality of materials or construction below the quality of the development of the original Premises ("Existing Standard"), or (b) departs in any respect from the Function Requirements or the Use Requirements applicable after completion of the Expansion. Landlord will cooperate with Tenant regarding any changes to the Final Plans required by governmental authorities during the permitting process. Copies of all changes shall be concurrently provided to Landlord. Landlord shall have no obligations with respect to the accuracy or adequacy of any Proposed or Final Plans or the extent the same comply with applicable Laws. 24.5 Construction Contract. Tenant has selected Turner Construction as the contractor for the Expansion (the "Project Contractor") and Landlord has approved that selection. Tenant, in consultation with Landlord, will negotiate a contract with Project Contractor for the Expansion (the "Construction Contract"). The Construction Contract shall be subject to Landlord's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Within 5 business days after receipt of the final Construction Contract to be executed by Tenant and Project Contractor, Landlord shall either provide its approval or provide detailed comments on changes required in order to obtain its approval. Upon Landlord's approval of the Construction Contract, Tenant will sign the Construction Contract as Owner. Tenant shall be required to obtain Landlord's approval of all Material Change Orders, and the standards for the granting or withholding of Landlord's approval shall be consistent with the following: "Material Change Orders" shall mean any change orders which (a) reduce the quality of materials or construction below the Existing Standard, (b) departs from the Function Requirements or the Use Requirements, or (c) amends the Construction Contract. In addition, Tenant shall provide to Landlord for its approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, any change orders which represent changes in the scope of the project. Landlord will provide its approval (or disapproval with detailed reasons therefor) within 5 business days for a "change of scope" change order, defined as a change order that involves a cost increase or decrease of $250,000 or more, and within 3 business days for all others. Landlord's approval will not be required for field directive changes. Tenant will defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, liability and damages arising from its actions as "Owner" under the Construction Contract and warranties. 24.6 Permits and Approvals/Diligence. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining all governmental permits and approvals for the Expansion and the cost incurred in connection therewith shall be included in Expansion Costs. Tenant will promptly provide Landlord with copies of all permits and approvals. Tenant shall also be an agent of Landlord for the limited purpose of pursuing and obtain all necessary approvals for the Expansion, including discussions and negotiations with governmental authorities, and applying for permits and approvals. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in all respects in connection with obtaining the permits and approvals, which cooperation may include entering into mitigation agreements with the associated costs included in Expansion Costs and execution and delivery of applications, permits and other instruments required to obtain the permits and approvals. If Tenant obtains the necessary permits and elects to proceed with construction of the Expansion, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such construction to be promptly commenced and diligently pursued and to be accomplished in compliance with all applicable Laws and regulations. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims, liability and damages relating to any failure to pay any permit fees or breach of the terms of any permit. 24.7 Other Consultants. Tenant shall have the right to engage other specialists and consultants of its choice as necessary or appropriate in order to complete the Expansion. Tenant shall enter into these contracts directly with the applicable third parties and such contracts shall contain corresponding indemnification and insurance requirements. Tenant shall enforce the contracts and warranties, and other obligations of such specialists and consultants. 28 24.8 Budget/Allowance. 24.8.1 Budget/Costs. As used herein, "Expansion Costs" shall mean and include all out of pocket hard and soft costs incurred in the Expansion, including land acquisition (including the cost of purchasing the Expansion Land and the parcel from King County, and related mitigation costs), design, development, construction and permitting and other predevelopment costs. Expansion Costs shall not include any costs of purchasing, leasing of Removable Equipment (other than construction equipment) or installing any Removable Equipment (other than construction equipment) or any other property that will not become immediately owned by Landlord. Tenant has provided to Landlord a preliminary budget for the Expansion Costs (the "Budget") and will periodically provide to Landlord updated Budgets reflecting current cost and monthly cash flow projections. As of the date hereof, the current total Budget for Expansion Costs is approximately $23,141,000.00, and the amount incurred to date is approximately $500,000. 24.8.2 Calculation of Allowance. Landlord shall provide an allowance equal to $330 times the net increase in the square footage of rentable area in the Premises as a result of the Expansion (the "Allowance") to be applied toward the Expansion Costs. Initially, the estimated amount of the Allowance shall be determined by using the estimated net increase in rentable square footage expected to result from the construction shown in the permit drawings, as measured by Burgess Weaver Design Group ("Burgess"). Upon completion of the Expansion, either party may elect to require that a jointly selected architect (the "Approved Architect") measure the entire building, including the constructed Expansion, and the final Allowance (and rent adjustment required by Section 24.10), shall be based on the net increase in rentable square footage shown by that measurement, with an adjustment between the parties so that Landlord has funded the final Allowance and Tenant has paid the balance. If neither party so elects to require measurement of the completed building, then the Allowance and the Rent Adjustment under Section 24.10 shall be derived from the Burgess measurement based on the permit drawings. The increase in rentable area shall be calculated in accordance with applicable BOMA standards (ANSI/BOMA Z65.1 1996) ("BOMA Standards"), as applied by Burgess, which excluded major vertical penetrations, stairs, elevators and major mechanical shafts; as shown on Exhibit I. 24.8.3 Funding of Allowance. The Allowance shall be applied only to (a) Expansion Costs incurred by Tenant, (b) the Oversight Fee (Section 24.9), and (c) any construction period interest (described below). Tenant shall have the option of either paying the Expansion Costs out of its own funds as the Expansion goes forward and being reimbursed from the Allowance upon substantial completion of the Expansion, as evidenced by the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy therefor, or having Landlord fund the payment of Expansion Costs from the Allowance as they are incurred. Tenant shall make this election by written notice to Landlord no later than 30 days prior to commencement of construction of the Expansion, which shall be deemed to occur when grading begins under a valid grading permit. To the extent that Tenant elects to draw funds from the Allowance prior to the Expansion Rent Commencement Date, the amounts drawn shall accrue construction period interest at 3% over the Prime Rate, reset as of the first of each calendar month, from the date of disbursement until the Expansion Rent Commencement Date and which interest shall be paid monthly from the Allowance. The availability of and Landlord's obligations to fund the Allowance shall be conditioned upon commencement of construction of the Expansion by January 1, 2005. Any provision in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, no portion of the Allowance shall be disbursed so long as any Event of Default exists and Landlord's obligation to disburse the Allowance shall terminate altogether if the Expansion is not begun by January 1, 2005. Landlord may also cause the disbursements to be made subject the same to such certifications, lien waivers, retentions and other conditions as are commonly imposed by commercial construction lenders when disbursing a construction loan (i.e. AIA G702, G703). Advances shall not be made more than once each month, and no retention need be disbursed until Landlord has received a certificate of substantial completion (AIA Form G704) signed by the Expansion architect, contractor and Tenant and to which the final punch list of incomplete items is attached. Landlord may withhold 150% of the estimated cost of the punchlist items until Landlord has received (a) evidence acceptable to Landlord that all of said punch list items have been completed, (b) final lien waivers from all contractors, principal subcontractors, and principal material suppliers, and (c) such other documentation and certifications as Landlord may reasonably require of Contractor. If the Allowance has not been entirely disbursed to 29 Tenant by January 1, 2006, Landlord may elect to disburse the then remaining balance of the Allowance to Tenant on January 1, 2006 or at any time thereafter, in advance of or upon Tenant's application therefor and in advance of or upon the corresponding costs becoming due and payable, and upon such disbursement, the above construction period interest shall begin to accrue on those funds. Accrual of construction period interest shall automatically cease on the Expansion Rent Commencement Date. 24.8.4 Funding of Excess. The Expansion Costs are currently projected to exceed the Allowance. All Expansion Costs that are not covered by the Allowance shall be paid by Tenant from its own funds as and when due. As the design, engineering and predevelopment work proceeds, the Budget will be adjusted and will more accurately reflect the likely total cost of the Expansion. So long as no Event of Default then exists and the Expansion has begun by January 1, 2005, Landlord will disburse the Allowance to pay Expansion Costs as reimbursements are applied for, and/or construction draws presented not more frequently than once per month, so long as the total amount disbursed to date does not exceed total estimated Allowance times the then percentage completion of the Expansion as determined by MBT. 24.8.5 Processing of Allowance Disbursements. Each application by Tenant for a disbursement from the Allowance shall be supported by the applicable supporting documentation reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Payment will be made by Landlord on the application within 20 days after receipt of the application and supporting documentation; provided that the construction draw requests shall be processed within the time period required by the Construction Contract (approved by Landlord) and the draw requests will be accompanied by the documentation required by such Construction Contract, including lien releases and such other documentation as is customarily required by a commercial construction lender on a typical construction loan. 24.8.6 Shell Space. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 24.8, Tenant agrees that on completion of the Expansion, not more than the space described as "shell" on Exhibit H shall be left in shell condition. The shell space shall be finished within the Function Tolerances for the Premises stated in Section 8.5, and with no more than 1,000 rentable square feet improved for use as office space, within 4 years from the date of the last disbursement of the Allowance unless Landlord otherwise consents in writing. If improvements to the shell space are not completed within such 4 year period it will not be a default hereunder so long as Tenant posts an LOC in the form attached as Exhibit D for $1,000,000.00 by the end of the said 4-year period until such improvements are completed by Tenant. The LOC shall be returned to Tenant when (a) Tenant completes the shell build out as required hereunder, (b) Landlord accepts the same as having complied with Tenant's obligations under this section, and (c) Tenant provides Landlord with final lien waivers and evidence of payment for all of the costs and expenses incurred to do so. If the shell build out required hereunder is not completed by the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord will have the right to draw down on such LOC upon such expiration or termination and retain such proceeds as liquidated damages for such failure to complete. During the pendency of this Lease the LOC will otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as those that are applicable to the Security Deposit, to the extent not inconsistent with this Section 24.8.6. 24.9 Landlord Oversight Fee. Landlord's primary objective in the oversight of the Expansion will be to monitor and protect its investment. Such oversight will include but will not necessarily be limited to the following customary services: plan review, periodic construction inspections, monthly draw and invoice review, lien release adherence and title search as necessary, monthly disbursement of proceeds, travel and other associated expenses. Landlord shall be given full access to the construction site and all design, development and construction documentation in order to perform its oversight. Out of the Allowance, Landlord shall be entitled to collect an oversight fee (the "Oversight Fee") which shall be equal to its actual time and expenses; but not to exceed a total of $25,000 for the Expansion, which sum shall be payable whether or not the Expansion is pursued to completion. The Oversight Fee shall be due on the Expansion Rent Commencement Date. 24.10 Rent for Expansion. Only if Tenant elects at its sole option to build the Expansion, then commencing (the "Expansion Rent Commencement Date") on the earlier of (a) July 1, 2006 or (b) the 30 date a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy is issued for the Expansion, the Base Rent shall be increased by an amount equal to the net increase in rentable area of the Premises times the Applicable Rate, divided by 12. The net increase in square footage of rentable area shall be determined pursuant to Section 24.8.2. The "Applicable Rate" shall be as follows, selected based on the Expansion Rent Commencement Date: (a) $32.18/rsf from the Lease Commencement Date for the first 12 months of the Term and any partial month in which the Lease Commencement Date occurs, (b) $33.3063/rsf for the second 12 month period in the Term, (c) $34.4720/rsf for the third 12 month period in the Term, (d) $35.6785/rsf for the fourth 12 month period in the Term, and (e) $36.9273/rsf for the fifth 12 month period in the Term. The Base Rent, increased as described in this Section 24.10, shall continue as increased until the next annual Rent Adjustment Date. On that date and continuing thereafter, the then Base Rent (as increased to reflect the Expansion as described above) shall increase by 3.5% and shall thereafter continue to increase by 3.5% each year, subject to adjustment at the commencement of any Renewal Term. 24.11 Extension of Initial Term. As of the Expansion Rent Commencement Date, the Initial Term of this Lease shall be extended to a date which is 180 months from the Expansion Rent Commencement Date. Such extension will not affect the Lease extension rights described in Section 2.2 above, and the first Renewal Term, if exercised, will commence on expiration of the Initial Term, extended as described in this paragraph. Within 30 business days after the Expansion Rent Commencement Date, the parties hereto shall enter into an Amendment to this Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M stating the Expansion Rent Commencement Date, the new Base Rent, and the extended expiration date of the Initial Term. 24.12 As-Built Documents/Closeout Package. Within 30 business days after receipt of the project "closeout package" from Turner and prior to Landlord's disbursement of the final draw or retainage, Tenant will provide to Landlord (a) a complete set of as-built plans for the Expansion, (b) a complete set of all of the permit applications and permits, property studies and evaluations, soils and environmental assessments and other studies Tenant has obtained in connection with the Expansion (excluding those of a proprietary nature that relate to Tenant's business and processes), (c) an ALTA/ACSM land survey showing the boundaries of the Expansion Land, the location of the Expansion improvements, and all easements, setback areas and encroachments within the Expansion Land and such other matters as are required by the insurer issuing Landlord's title insurance supplement, (d) copies of the temporary, and any permanent, certificate of occupancy for the Expansion, (e) all warranties provided under contracts signed by Tenant, and (f) a supplement to Landlord's title insurance policy issued in connection with its acquisition of the Premises which (i) is in an extended form with the same endorsements issued with the original policy, (ii) adds the Expansion Land to the description of the insured property, (iii) increases the policy amount by the amount of the Expansion Costs, and (iv) insures Landlord as the sole holder of fee simple title to the Expansion Land and improvements thereon subject to no exceptions other than the liens for nondelinquent real property taxes and assessments, non-monetary encumbrances arising out of the vacation of Bellevue Avenue that do not include encroachments over boundary lines, easements or setbacks, except for non-material encroachments similar to those existing with the original Earl Davie Building and for which Landlord receives at Tenant's expense a forced removal endorsement to Landlord's title insurance, and which are not inconsistent with the Use Requirements, and such other matters as are reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall deliver the items referred to in (a) and (b) above without charge and shall pay for the costs of the survey and the premium for the standard portion of Landlord's title policy supplement and Landlord shall pay for the extended coverage and endorsements therein. 24.13 Encumbrance. Landlord shall have no obligation to grant a security interest in its real or personal property to secure third party loans to Tenant for the Expansion. 24.14 Development Disclaimer/Assignment of Rights. Except to the extent that Landlord requires that particular materials or construction methods be employed over Tenant's written objection made within 5 business days after Tenant is given notice describing the same, and then only with regard to those objected to materials or methods, Landlord shall have no liability for any alleged defects in the design, materials or construction of the Expansion or the failure of the Expansion to conform to any 31 applicable plans, Laws or regulations or to be suitable for Tenant's purposes and Tenant shall look solely to its own consultants, architects, contractors and suppliers with respect thereto. Landlord, with regard to those Expansion contracts entered into by it as principal, and Tenant with regard to those Expansion contracts entered into by it as principal, agrees to enforce all of their respective rights as principal under those contracts and agreements (the "Expansion Contracts") to the extent necessary to enable Tenant to comply with its construction, maintenance and repair obligations under this Lease and to enable the parties to obtain the benefits of the Expansion Contracts. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant will assign back to Landlord any remaining rights it holds under the Expansion Contracts with regard to future performance. 24.15 Expansion Without Allowance. If, for any reason, Tenant develops the Expansion but does not obtain the Allowance from Landlord, the Expansion shall be included in the Premises, owned by Landlord and subject to all of the requirements of this Lease, except that there shall be no increase in Base Rent as described in Section 24.10 above to reflect the Expansion and the determination of the fair market rental value of the Premises under Section 2.3 shall exclude the value of the Expansion. 24.16 Disputes. Landlord and Tenant agree that in the event of any dispute over any approval or consent required by this Section 24 they shall make a diligent and good faith effort to resolve the same without resort to arbitration or litigation. In the event they are unable to resolve such dispute, Landlord's good faith decisions shall be controlling to the extent they relate to the Expansion's exterior appearance, structural components and building shell, and Tenant's good faith decisions shall be controlling with respect to the building systems and the manner in which the interior of the Expansion is configured, fixtured and furnished. 25. PARKING AT STEAM PLANT. In the Steam Plant Lease, Landlord's affiliate has granted Tenant the right to utilize up to 49 parking stalls which are located in the Lake Union Steam Plant property at 1201 Eastlake Avenue East and have been specifically covenanted and reserved for Tenant; provided that Tenant shall make commercially reasonable efforts to minimize or eliminate the need for Tenant to utilize such parking. 26. CROSS DEFAULTS. At Tenant's option, Landlord (or its affiliate) and Tenant may be parties to a $3,000,000 line of credit loan ("Line of Credit Loan") which will be documented by the forms attached to the fourth amendment to the Purchase Agreement, with such forms executed upon Tenant's election to draw on the Line of Credit Loan. Regardless of the actual date of execution of the Line of Credit Loan documents, the maturity date thereunder shall be five years from the Effective Date. As provided in Section 15.2, any Event of Default under the Line of Credit Loan or the Steam Plant Lease (Section 15.2) shall be an Event of Default hereunder and any default under this Lease shall be a default under the Steam Plant Lease and the Line of Credit Loan. 27. MISCELLANEOUS 27.1 Tenant's Obligations Unconditional. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that except as otherwise specifically stated in this Lease it shall be absolutely and unconditionally obligated to pay all Rent and all of the costs and expenses that relate to the ownership, occupancy, use, maintenance, insurance, repair, restoration, replacement, and remediation of the Premises and all utilities and other services provided thereto and taxes and installments of assessments levied thereon during the Initial Term and any Renewal Term and for those portions of installments of assessments to the extent they accrued during the Term of this Lease, even if they are payable thereafter and to take such other actions at its sole expense as are required to comply with all existing and future Laws with respect thereto and such obligations shall not be subject to abatement, offset or impairment for any cause or reason whatsoever.

The failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist, in one or more instances, upon the strict performance by Tenant or Landlord of any of the provisions of this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy available for any future breach of such provisions.

Time is of the essence of this Lease. 27.8 Waiver of Common Law. Tenant waives any of the following rights, to the extent they exist now or will exist in the future under Law (including common law): the right to terminate this Lease, any right to offset amounts due against Rent, and/or any right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord.

Tenant shall have no right to retain possession of the Premises beyond the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Term, with the express consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and not a renewal hereof or an extension for any further Term, and such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to each and every term, covenant and agreement contained herein; provided, however, that Tenant shall pay as rent during any holding over period, an amount equal to 150% of the Base Rent payable immediately preceding the expiration of the Term plus all Additional Rent.

"Control Account" means the account established by Tenant in its name at _________________ or such other brokerage firm or bank as Landlord may reasonably approve, which account is subject to the terms and conditions of the Control Account Agreement. "Control Account Agreement" means the "Security, Custodian and Control Account Agreement" in substantially the form of EXHIBIT A hereto, which is entered into with respect to the Control Account. "Event of Default" has the meaning specified in Section 8. "Lease" means the "Lease" between Tenant and Landlord dated ______________, 2002, as now or hereafter amended, relating to_____________ [street address], Seattle, Washington. "Market Value" means, as of any date of determination, the market value of the Collateral Securities then held in the Control Account, as reflected, at Landlord's option, as of the end of a business day in the Wall Street Journal or other any nationally recognized business publication of similar stature containing the current bid and asked prices for securities traded on a major exchange in the United States or on the most recently monthly account statement delivered to Landlord and Tenant pursuant to the Control Account Agreement. 2. Purpose This Agreement is for the purpose of securing the prompt payment and performance in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of Tenant's obligations (the "Obligations") with respect to the security deposit (the "Security Deposit") that are detailed in Section 7 of the Lease. The amount of the Security Deposit which is to be covered by the Collateral described in this Agreement is $______________ and is referred to herein as the "Required Balance." 3. Collateral Securities As collateral for the Obligations throughout the term of the Lease, Tenant will pledge to Landlord, and grant Landlord, a perfected, first priority security interest in, Collateral Securities held in the Control E-1 Account with a Market Value at all times equal to the Required Balance. A list of the initial Collateral Securities pledged by Tenant and held in the Control Account is attached to this Agreement as EXHIBIT B. 4. Control Account Subject to the terms of the Agreement and the Control Account Agreement, the Collateral Securities pledged by Tenant pursuant to this Agreement shall at all times be held in the Control Account. The maintenance, disposition and transfer of the Control Account and all Collateral Securities held therein shall at all times be subject to the terms of the Agreement and the Control Account Agreement. 5. Grant of Perfected First Lien Security Interest Throughout the term of the Lease, as security for the Obligations, Tenant hereby delivers, pledges, grants, transfers, assigns and sets over to Landlord, and hereby grants to Landlord a continuing perfected first lien security interest in, the following (the "Collateral"): (a) All Collateral Securities, cash and other assets held in the Control Account; (b) The Control Account; (c) All securities entitlements and financial assets relating to the foregoing; and (d) All proceeds and products of any of the foregoing held in the Control Account. 6. Consent Rights, Trading Rights and Payments in Respect of the Collateral (a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant shall be entitled (i) to exercise (but not in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement or the Control Account Agreement) all consent or other voting rights with respect to the Collateral Securities, (ii) to receive and retain all regularly scheduled payments of interest or dividends in respect of the Collateral Securities or (iii) to substitute at any time during the term of the Lease the Collateral Securities with other Collateral Securities, provided Landlord obtains a perfected first priority security interest in the substitute Collateral Securities prior to the release of the pledged Collateral Securities and provided that Market Value of all Collateral Securities after the substitution is equal to or greater than the Required Balance. Upon such substitution, release and withdrawal of such released assets from the Control Account, such released assets will no longer be subject to a security interest in favor of Landlord and, unless subsequently re-deposited into the Control Account, will no longer be "Collateral": within the meaning of this Agreement. (b) If an Event of Default (as defined in the Lease) has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall be entitled (i) to exercise all consent or other voting rights with respect to the Collateral Securities, (ii) to any and all rights of sale, conversion, exchange, subscription, withdrawal and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Collateral as if Landlord were the absolute owner thereof and (iii) to receive and retain, as additional Collateral hereunder, any and all interest, dividends or other payments at any time and from time to time paid on the Collateral; provided, however, that prior to any exercise by Landlord of any of the preceding rights with respect to the Collateral Securities, Landlord agrees to provide Tenant 3 business days' prior written notice of its intent to exercise its rights to the Collateral. (c) Any principal amount at any time paid in respect of the Collateral Securities (whether at the acceleration thereof, as a scheduled or mandatory sinking fund payment, in redemption or prepayment thereof or at the maturity thereof) shall constitute part of the Collateral and shall be held in the Control Account until reinvested as provided in the Collateral Account Agreement. If for any reason Tenant should receive any such payment of principal in respect of the Collateral Securities, Tenant shall receive and hold the same in trust, for the benefit of Landlord, and shall promptly deposit such payment (or, at Tenant's option, substitute Collateral Securities) in the Control Account. E-2 7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants by Tenant (a) Tenant represents that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not violate any agreement to which it is bound or any law or regulation applicable to Tenant, and that it has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. (b) Tenant represents that it is the sole beneficial owner of the Collateral Securities and the proceeds thereof free and clear of any security interest or other encumbrance other than the first priority security interest created favor of Landlord pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement and Tenant will not create or permit to exist any other security interest or other encumbrance against the Collateral. Tenant further represents, except as permitted under this Agreement and the Control Account Agreement, that for the term of this Agreement it will not sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral Securities. (c) Tenant represents that this Agreement and delivery of the Collateral into the Collateral Account creates a valid, perfected, and first priority security interest in the Collateral in favor of Landlord, and all actions necessary to achieve such perfection have been duly taken. (d) Tenant represents that this Agreement and delivery of the substitute Collateral Securities into the Collateral Account pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 6(a) will create a valid, perfected, and first priority security interest in the substitute Collateral in favor of Landlord, and all actions necessary to achieve such perfection, upon delivery to the Custodian, will have been duly taken. (e) Tenant at all times will cause the Control Agreement to remain in full force and effect and will cause the Collateral Securities to be held in the Control Account. (f) Upon demand by Landlord, Tenant will permit inspection of the Collateral Securities by Landlord. (f) Tenant at all times will cause the Market Value of Collateral Securities held in the Control Account to equal or exceed the Required Balance. If, at any time, the Market Value of Collateral Securities held in the Control Account is less than the Required Balance, Tenant shall immediately cause to be deposited in the Control Account additional Collateral Securities with a Market Value sufficient to cause the aggregate Market Value of all Collateral Securities then held in the Collateral Account to equal or exceed the Required Balance. 8. Liability Tenant shall indemnify the financial institution party to the Control Account Agreement for any and all costs and expenses, and attorney's fees and court costs, which directly result from any sale of Collateral Securities and the withdrawal of the settlement proceeds thereof (not to exceed the amount of the Security Deposit Amount) authorized by Landlord to fulfill any of Tenant's Obligations; provided, however, that nothing in this indemnification provision shall operate or be construed to limit Tenant's rights against Landlord under the terms of the Lease or Landlord's rights against Tenant thereunder. Tenant shall indemnify and defend, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Landlord's right, title and first priority security interest in the Collateral and Substitute Collateral. After Landlord delivers a Notice of Exclusive Control to the financial institution party to the Control Account Agreement, (a) Landlord may liquidate or sell all or any part of the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner and whether or not the value of any of the Collateral is rising, falling or holding, and (b) Landlord is not required to exercise any right, option or privilege arising from or relating to the Collateral. The provisions of this section shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement or any determination that this Agreement or any portion is void or voidable. E-3 9. Assignment and Amendment (a) This Agreement may not be amended without the prior written consent of both parties. (b) This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that: (i) Landlord may, at any time, and without notice to or the necessity of obtaining Tenant's consent, assign to any financial institution providing a loan to Landlord in connection with the property subject of the Lease (together with any such financial institution's successors or assigns, the "Lender") all of its rights under, and interest in, this Agreement. Within one (1) business day after making any such assignment, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of the assignment and a copy of the instrument of assignment. Upon receipt by Tenant of the aforementioned notice, Lender shall thereafter succeed to all of the rights and privileges of Landlord and shall be subject to the same obligations, terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to Landlord under the terms of this Agreement, provided that after Lender sends Custodian a Lender Notice of Exclusive Control pursuant to Section 10(b) of the Control Account Agreement, Lender shall also be subject to the same obligations (including indemnification obligations arising from and after the date of the Lender Notice of Exclusive Control) as Landlord. Lender will not be liable for any act, omission or breach by Landlord of any obligation under this Agreement or the Control Account Agreement which occurs prior to the date of the Lender Notice of Exclusive Control and will, upon any sale or transfer by Lender of its interest in the property and the Lease, automatically be released and discharged from any and all liability thereafter accruing under this Agreement or the Control Account Agreement; and (ii) If Landlord assigns its interest in the Lease, whether voluntarily or through involuntary assignment or transfer such as bankruptcy or foreclosure, such assignment will automatically and without further action or notice to Tenant, cause an assignment of Landlord's rights in this Agreement and the Collateral to the assignee and upon the assignee's assumption of Landlord's obligations under the Lease (including Landlord's obligations with respect to this Agreement and the Collateral), Landlord will thereafter accrue no further liability for the return of the Collateral. Upon request of either party, Landlord and Tenant agree to execute such documents as may be necessary or desirable to reflect or better confirm such assignment, assumption and/or release. 10. Waivers A waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision or of any other provision hereof. Failure of either party to enforce at any time or from time to time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver thereof. 11. Severability Each provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable from the others so that if any provision or term hereof is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions and terms hereof. 12. Governing Law: Successors Bound This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Washington, determined without regard to conflicts of law. Subject to all the terms and provisions hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Each party hereto consents to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Washington and of the United States of America located in King County, Washington for any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each party further waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in such courts, and further agrees E-4 not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 13.

Refer to Basis of Design approved by Landlord for further detail. K-1 EXHIBIT L Fair Market Value Determination For Premises (Lease Sections 10 and 12) Determination of "Fair Market Value" of the Premises under paragraphs 10 and 12 of this Lease shall be made in accordance with the following procedures, which shall be valued assuming the Premises are encumbered by the Lease and Renewal Options, with the sum of such determinations being the Fair Market Value of the Premises as a whole: (a) Fair Market Value of the Premises shall be determined by the agreement of two (2) appraisers (each, an "Initial Appraiser"), one of which shall be selected by Landlord and the other of which shall be selected by Tenant as set forth in this Exhibit L. Each of the parties shall concurrently identify in writing, an Initial Appraiser selected and retained by such party and specifically identify such Initial Appraiser's name, address, phone number and qualifications as an appraiser. Within five (5) days after the parties have designated their Initial Appraisers, each of Landlord and Tenant shall direct, in writing with a copy to the other party, its Initial Appraiser to work with the other party's Initial Appraiser to endeavor to determine and reach agreement upon the Fair Market Value of the Premises (including the land and the improvements), considered as encumbered by this Lease and its extensions, and considered as not having been the subject of a casualty or condemnation, as applicable, and thereafter to deliver in writing to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days (such 30-day period, the "Valuation Period") the agreed-upon Fair Market Value (the "Valuation Notice"). The costs and expenses of each Initial Appraiser shall be paid by the party selecting such Initial Appraiser. If Tenant fails to identify in writing an Initial Appraiser as required by this Exhibit, Landlord shall identify an Initial Appraiser on behalf of Tenant; provided, however, Tenant shall be liable for the costs and expenses of such Initial Appraiser identified on Tenant's behalf by Landlord as if Tenant had selected such Initial Appraiser. (b) If the Initial Appraisers are not able to reach agreement upon the Fair Market Value within the Valuation Period, within ten (10) days after the end of the Valuation Period each Initial Appraiser shall deliver a written notice to Landlord, Tenant, and the other Initial Appraiser setting forth (i) such Initial Appraiser's valuation of the Fair Market Value (each, an "Initial Valuation") and (ii) the name, address and qualifications of a third appraiser selected jointly by the Initial Appraisers (the "Third Appraiser"). The Initial Appraisers shall, in writing with a copy to Landlord and Tenant, direct the Third Appraiser (or substitute Third Appraiser) to determine a valuation of the Fair Market Value of the Premises (including the land and the improvements), considered as encumbered by this Lease and its extensions, and considered as not having been the subject of a casualty or condemnation, as applicable, and to deliver in writing to Landlord, Tenant and the Initial Appraisers such valuation (the "Third Valuation") within twenty (20) days of the date of the written direction retaining such Third Appraiser. The Fair Market Value shall be the arithmetic mean of (A) the Third Valuation and (B) the Initial Valuation closer to the Third Valuation. If the Third Valuation is exactly between the two Initial Valuations, then the Fair Market Value shall be the Third Valuation. If the Initial Appraisers are unable to agree upon the designation of a Third Appraiser within the requisite time period or if the Third Appraiser selected does not make a valuation of the Fair Market Value within twenty (20) days after being directed by the Initial Appraisers, then such Third Appraiser or a substitute Third Appraiser, as applicable, shall, at the request of Landlord or Tenant, be appointed by the President or Chairman of the American Arbitration Association in the area in which the Premises exist which is the subject of the fair market valuation determination determined hereunder. The costs and expenses of the Third Appraiser (and substitute Third Appraiser and the American Arbitration Association, if applicable) shall be divided evenly between, and paid for by, Landlord and Tenant. (c) All appraisers selected or appointed pursuant to this Exhibit shall be independent qualified appraisers and shall be, at a minimum, MAI real estate appraisers with at least 7 years experience in appraising real property used for comparable "wet science" biological laboratory L-1 and research and development facilities or such similar uses to which the parties agree.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant are able to agree upon a Fair Market Value of the Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an agreement setting forth such agreed-upon Fair Market Value of the Premises, as applicable, and waiving each party's right to have the Fair Market Value of the Premises, as applicable, determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Exhibit. (e) If Tenant elects not to make an offer to purchase the Premises under Sections 10 or 12 after this valuation process has been conducted, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord its out of pocket third party costs (including attorney's fees and the costs of Landlord's Initial Appraiser). and pay all charges assessed by the Third Appraiser.
