hereof, the Leases are in full force and effect and represent the valid, legal
and binding obligations of Molecular to Lessor.

 

1.3 Molecular hereby acknowledges that, except as provided herein, Lessor is not

2. FORBEARANCE

 

2.1 Lessor hereby agrees to forbear from exercising and enforcing its rights,

thirty three thousand nine hundred thirty six dollars and thirty three cents
($33,936.33) each starting on or before June 30, 2005, in the form of a
certified check and/or prearranged wire transfer. Such payments herein provided
shall be paid as one-third partial payment of Molecular’s lease obligations to

Molecular’s lease obligations to Lessor shall be still owing and added to the
total balance payable under the terms of the Lease.

 

  B. Molecular shall grant to Lessor free and unfettered access to the Equipment
covered by the Leases upon reasonable notice by Lessor.

 

  C. Molecular will pay to Lessor, immediately via wire transfer upon execution
of this Agreement, the first payment provided for under Section 2.1(A) herein in
the amount of $33,936.33 representing payment for said Leases.

 

  D. The Parties agree that if Molecular fails to make a timely payment for said
Leases as provided in Section 2.1(A) herein, except as provided herein, Lessor
will not be obligated to adhere to any Notice requirements as required by law
and/or Agreements, and Lessor will have full authority to proceed with all of
its default rights as a result of Molecular’s failure to make said payments.

 

  E. Lessor acknowledges receipt from Molecular of an accurate itemization of
Equipment specifications to Lessor.

 

  F. Lessor acknowledges receipt from Molecular of an accurate list of the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  G. Lessor acknowledges receipt from Molecular of an accurate list, including
but not limited to, all hospitals, service routes, and associated schedules of
said Equipment.

 

2.2 Molecular agrees that any default under this Agreement by Molecular will
also constitute an Event of Default under the Leases and that any Event of
Default (other than the failure to make the full lease payment under the Leases
during the forbearance period) under the Leases shall constitute a default
hereunder. Molecular hereby waives all notices and cure periods which may be
provided for under the Leases and agrees that Lessor shall be immediately
entitled to all relief afforded to Lessor thereunder. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, Lessor shall give five (5) business days written notice to
Molecular, unless otherwise required by law, in writing and deemed duly served
and given when personally delivered to the party to whom directed or any of its
officers or, in lieu of personal service, when deposited in the United States
mail, first-class postage prepaid, addressed to Molecular at 9530 Towne Centre
Drive, Suite 120, San Diego, California, 92121, with a facsimile copy to (858)
642-0052, of any occurrence of a Default under this Agreement and an opportunity
to cure such default without acceleration during such five (5) day period.

 

2.3 Lessor’ forbearance is further expressly subject to and conditioned upon
Lessee strict compliance with each and every term and provision of this
Agreement.

 

2.4 Upon the breach by Molecular of any provision of this Agreement or any
Default under the Leases (other than the failure to make the full lease payment
under the Leases during the forbearance period), Lessor, at its option, may
withdraw its forbearance hereunder. Lessor shall promptly advise Molecular of
any such withdrawal, but failure to do so shall not impair the affect of such
withdrawal. Upon such withdrawal, and until all of the indebtedness (including
any accelerated late charges) to Lessor have been paid in full, Lessor shall
have the undisputed and absolute right to exercise and enforce all the rights,
powers and remedies which may exist pursuant to the Leases or at law, in equity
or by statute, or without further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby waived by Molecular.
