Item 1.01          Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 12, 2006 we entered into a Lease Agreement with ARE-NEXUS CENTRE II, LLC (the “Nexus Lease”).  Under the terms of the Nexus Lease, we will be leasing approximately 64,000 square feet of office, research and development space at 4767 Nexus Centre Drive, San Diego, California for a term targeted to commence on September 1, 2006 with rent targeted to commence April 1, 2007 and ending on February 28, 2017.  We have the right to extend the term of the Nexus Lease for an additional five years, and we have the right to terminate the Nexus Lease early effective March 31, 2014 upon payment of an early termination fee.

 

In connection with the execution of the Nexus Lease, we amended our existing lease with ARE-11099 North Torrey Pines, LLC for the property located at 11099 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, California (the “Torrey Pines Lease Amendment”) on January 12, 2006 to provide for the extension of the lease term, subject to certain limitations, until we move all of our operations to the new location, which we expect to occur in the fourth quarter of 2006.

 

We intend to file the Nexus Lease and the Torrey Pines Lease Amendment with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the future and will seek confidential treatment for certain material terms of the Nexus Lease at such time.
