(“Tenant”).

RECITALS

A. Landlord and Tenant are now parties to that certain Lease Agreement dated as
of September 14, 2010, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated
as of September 22, 2010, and as further amended by that certain letter
agreement dated August 2, 2012 (as amended, the “Lease”). Pursuant to the Lease,
Tenant leases certain premises (“Original Premises”) in a building located at
7000 Shoreline Court, South San Francisco, California. The Premises are more
particularly described in the Lease. Capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the meanings defined for such terms in the Lease.

B. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that, as of the date hereof, a
portion of the Building consisting of approximately 19,177 rentable square feet,
as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto (“Expansion Premises”), is currently
subject to that certain Amended and Restated Lease Agreement between Landlord
and Achaogen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Achaogen”), dated December 29, 2010
(as the same may have been or may in the future may be amended, the “Achaogen
Lease”).

C. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that, prior to the Expansion Premises
Commencement Date (as defined in Section 3 below), Tenant intends to enter into
a sublease agreement with Achaogen pursuant to which Tenant shall sublease the
Expansion Premises from Achaogen prior to the Expansion Premises Commencement
Date (the “Achaogen Sublease”), which Achaogen Sublease shall require Landlord’s
written consent in the form of a consent to sublease agreement by and among
Landlord, Tenant and Achaogen (“Consent to Sublease”).

D. Landlord and Tenant desire, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
below, to among other things, (i) extend the term of the Lease, and (ii) expand
the Original Premises to include the Expansion Premises.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, which are
incorporated herein by this reference, the mutual promises and conditions
contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree
as follows:

 

1. Base Term. The Base Term of the Lease for the Premises (which, after the
Expansion Premises Commencement Date, shall include the Expansion Premises) is
hereby extended until April 30, 2020 (the “Expiration Date”).

 

2. Expansion Premises. In addition to the Original Premises, commencing on the
Expansion Premises Commencement Date (as defined below), Landlord leases to
Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, the Expansion Premises.

 

3.

Delivery. The “Expansion Premises Commencement Date” shall be the earlier to
occur of (i) April 1, 2014, or (ii) the day after the termination of the
Achaogen Lease, if the Achaogen Lease terminates prior to March 31, 2014;
provided, however, that if the Achaogen Lease has terminated due to a casualty
or Taking (as such term is defined in the Achaogen Lease), such casualty or
Taking shall be deemed to have occurred during the Base Term of the Lease and
the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect thereto shall be
governed by Section 18 or Section 19 of the Lease, as applicable. Upon request
of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver a written acknowledgment of the
Expansion Premises Commencement Date and the expiration date of the Term when
such are established in the form of the “Acknowledgement of

 

1

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

  Expansion Premises Commencement Date” attached hereto as Exhibit B; provided,
however, Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such acknowledgment shall not
affect Landlord’s rights hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant and Landlord
acknowledge and agree that the commencement of the Lease with respect to the
Expansion Premises on or before April 1, 2014, is conditioned on the
satisfaction of the following conditions precedent (“Conditions Precedent”):
that Achaogen enter into an amendment of the Achaogen Lease with Landlord, which
amendment shall be acceptable to Landlord, in its reasonable discretion,
pursuant to which Achaogen waives its right to extend the term of the Achaogen
Lease with respect to the Expansion Premises, and that Achaogen, Landlord and
Tenant enter into the Consent to Sublease. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall
have any liability whatsoever to each other relating to or arising from
Landlord’s inability or failure to cause the Conditions Precedent to be
satisfied. The execution and delivery by Landlord and Achaogen of an amendment
of the Achaogen Lease pursuant to which Achaogen waives its right to extend the
term thereof with respect to the Expansion Premises shall be deemed to satisfy
the foregoing condition with respect to the Achaogen Lease amendment.

Except as set forth in the Lease or this Second Amendment: (i) Landlord shall
have no obligation for any defects in the Expansion Premises; and (ii) Tenant’s
occupancy of the Expansion Premises pursuant to the terms of the Achaogen
Sublease shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the Expansion Premises
and that the Expansion Premises are in good condition.

Tenant agrees and acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord
has made any representation or warranty with respect to the condition of all or
any portion of the Expansion Premises, and/or the suitability of the Expansion
Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and Tenant waives any implied
warranty that the Expansion Premises are suitable for the Permitted Use.

 

4. Definition of Premises. Commencing on the Expansion Premises Commencement
Date, the defined term “Premises” on Page 1 of the Lease is deleted in its
entirety and replaced with the following:

“Premises: That portion of the Project, containing approximately 48,405 rentable
square feet (“RSF”), consisting of (i) approximately 29,228 rentable square feet
(the “Original Premises”), and (ii) approximately 19,177 rentable square feet
(“Expansion Premises”), all as determined by Landlord, as shown on Exhibit A.”

As of the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, Exhibit A to the Lease is
amended to include Exhibit A attached to this Second Amendment.

 

5. Base Rent.

a. Original Premises. Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent for the Original
Premises as provided for in the Lease through April 30, 2015. Commencing on
May 1, 2015, Base Rent for the Original Premises shall be an amount equal to
$2.60 per rentable square foot of the Original Premises per month. Thereafter,
on each May 1st during the Base Term (each an “Adjustment Date”), Base Rent for
the Original Premises shall be increased by multiplying the Base Rent payable
with respect to the Original Premises immediately before such Original Premises
Adjustment Date by 1.3% (the “Rent Adjustment Percentage”) and adding the
resulting amount to the Base Rent payable with respect to the Original Premises
immediately before such Original Premises Adjustment Date. Base Rent for the
Original Premises, as so adjusted, shall be due in equal monthly installments
each in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during the
applicable calendar year.

 

2

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

b. Expansion Premises. Commencing on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date,
Base Rent for the Expansion Premises shall be an amount equal to $2.90 per
rentable square foot of the Expansion Premises per month; provided, however,
that if the Expansion Premises Commencement Date occurs prior to April 1, 2014,
Base Rent for the Expansion Premises shall be equal to $1.70 per rentable square
foot of the Expansion Premises per month through March 31, 2014. Commencing on
May 1, 2015, Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the Expansion Premises at the same
rate per rentable square foot that Tenant is then paying for the Original
Premises during the Base Term, as adjusted pursuant to Section 5(a) above. Base
Rent for the Expansion Premises, as so adjusted, shall be due in equal monthly
installments each in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month
during the applicable calendar year.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Second Amendment, for
the period commencing on April 1, 2014, through June 30, 2014, Tenant shall not
be required to pay Base Rent for the Expansion Premises only. Commencing on
July 1, 2014, Tenant shall commence (or resume, as applicable) paying full Base
Rent for the Expansion Premises pursuant to this Section 5(b).

c. TI Rent. In addition to the Tenant Improvement Allowance (as defined in the
Work Letter attached to this Second Amendment as Exhibit C), Landlord shall,
subject to the terms of the Work Letter, make available to Tenant the Additional
Tenant Improvement Allowance (as defined in the Work Letter) for the
construction of the Tenant Improvements. Commencing on the first day of the
month following the date on which any portion of the Additional Tenant
Improvement Allowance is funded to Tenant (“Initial Payment Date”) and
continuing thereafter on the first day of each month of the Base Term, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord the amount necessary to fully amortize the amount of the
Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance actually funded by Landlord, if any, in
equal monthly payments with interest at a rate of 9% per annum over the
remaining Base Term (“TI Rent”). If any portion of the Additional Tenant
Improvement Allowance is funded to Tenant after the Initial Payment Date, the
monthly amount of TI Rent payable by Tenant shall be adjusted in order to fully
amortize such amounts funded after the Initial Funding Date in equal monthly
payments with interest at a rate of 9% per annum over the remaining Base Term.

 

6. Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses. Tenant shall continue to pay Operating
Expenses as provided for in the Lease through the day immediately preceding the
Expansion Premises Commencement Date. Commencing on the Expansion Premises
Commencement Date, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses payable by Tenant under
the Lease shall be increased by 14.06%, and commencing on May 1, 2015, the total
Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses which shall be payable by Tenant under the
Lease shall be equal to 35.49%.

Commencing on May 1, 2015, Tenant’s Share of each earthquake deductible or
occurrence of uninsured earthquake damage affecting the Premises shall not
exceed $7.50 per rentable square of the Premises (including the Expansion
Premises) (the “Current Cap”). On June 1, 2015, and on the first day of each
month thereafter through the Expiration Date, the Current Cap shall be reduced
by $0.125 per rentable square foot of the Premises (including the Expansion
Premises). Following earthquake damage to the Project during the period between
April 1, 2015, and the Expiration Date, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of any
such deductible or uninsured damage in equal monthly installments amortized over
the balance of the Base Term. For the avoidance of doubt, the existing caps of
insurance deductibles and uninsured earthquake damage set forth in the third
full paragraph of Section 5 of the Lease shall apply through April 30, 2015, and
the caps provided for in this paragraph shall apply from May 1, 2015, through
April 30, 2020, and shall thereafter be of no further force or effect.

 

7. Intentionally Omitted.

 

3

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

8. Right to Extend Term. As of the date of this Second Amendment, Section 39(a)
of the Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

“(a) Extension Right. Tenant shall have 1 right (“Extension Right”) to extend
the term of this Lease for 5 years (an “Extension Term”) on the same terms and
conditions as this Lease (other than Base Rent, Tenant’s Share and the Work
Letters) by giving Landlord written notice of its election to exercise the
Extension Right at least 9 months prior, and no earlier than 12 months prior, to
the Expiration Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Tenant
exercises its Extension Right hereunder, commencing on May 1, 2020, Tenant’s
Share of each earthquake deductible or occurrence of uninsured earthquake damage
affecting the Premises shall not exceed $7.50 per rentable square of the
Premises (the “Extension Cap”). On June 1, 2020, and on the first day of each
month thereafter through the expiration of the Extension Term, the Extension Cap
shall be reduced by $0.125 per rentable square foot of the Premises. Following
earthquake damage to the Project during the period between May 1, 2020, and the
expiration of the Extension Term, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of any such
deductible or uninsured damage in equal monthly installments amortized over the
balance of the Extension Term.

Upon the commencement of the Extension Term, Base Rent shall be payable at the
Market Rate (as defined below). Base Rent shall thereafter be adjusted on each
annual anniversary of the commencement of the Extension Term by a percentage as
determined by Landlord and agreed to by Tenant at the time the Market Rate is
determined. As used herein, “Market Rate” shall mean the market rental rate for
comparable laboratory space in South San Francisco, California, as determined by
Landlord and agreed to by Tenant.

If, on or before the date which is 180 days prior to the Expiration Date, Tenant
has not agreed with Landlord’s determination of the Market Rate and the rent
escalations during the Extension Term after negotiating in good faith, Tenant
may by written notice to Landlord not later than 180 days prior to the
expiration of the Base Term of the Lease, elect arbitration as described in
Section 39(b) below. If Tenant does not elect such arbitration, Tenant shall be
deemed to have waived any right to extend the Term of the Lease and the
Extension Right shall terminate.”

 

9. Removal of Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall not be required to remove any
Tenant Improvements existing in the Original Premises or the Expansion Premises
as of the date of this Second Amendment or any Tenant Improvements constructed
in the Original Premises or the Expansion Premises pursuant to the Work Letter
at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term nor shall Tenant have the
right to remove any such Tenant Improvements at any time. If Tenant constructs
any Tenant Improvements in the Expansion Premises prior to the Expansion
Premises Commencement Date, Tenant shall obtain Achaogen’s consent to such
Tenant Improvements pursuant to the Achaogen Sublease and Landlord shall not
charge any fee under the Achaogen Lease in connection with such Tenant
Improvements. The Consent to Sublease shall provide that Achaogen shall not be
required to remove any such Tenant Improvements constructed in the Expansion
Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of the Achaogen Lease nor
shall Achaogen have the right to remove any such Tenant Improvements at any
time.

 

10. Landlord’s Furniture. During Tenant’s occupancy of the Expansion Premises
under the Achaogen Sublease and during the Term of the Lease with respect to the
Expansion Premises, Tenant shall have the right to use in the Premises the
furniture belonging to Landlord located within the Expansion Premises as of the
date of this Second Amendment (“Landlord’s Furniture”). If, any time after the
date of this Second Amendment, Tenant does not want to use certain items of
Landlord’s Furniture, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of such item(s) of
Landlord Furniture that Tenant does not want to use and Landlord shall inform
Tenant whether Tenant may remove such item(s) of Landlord’s Furniture from the
Premises and, if Landlord authorizes the removal of such item(s) of Landlord’s
Furniture, any reasonable requirements, if any, of Landlord in connection with
Tenant’s removal from the Premises of such item(s) of Landlord’s Furniture. If
Landlord does not authorize Tenant to remove such item(s), Landlord shall cause
such item(s) to be removed, at Landlord’s sole cost, within 10 business days of
Landlord receipt of Tenant’s written request for such removal by Landlord.

 

4

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

Except as otherwise set forth in this Second Amendment, (i) Tenant shall accept
Landlord’s furniture in its condition as of the date Tenant occupies the
Expansion Premises pursuant to the Achaogen Sublease, (ii) Landlord shall have
no obligation for any defects in Landlord’s Furniture, and (iii) Tenant’s taking
possession of the Expansion Premises under the Achaogen Sublease shall be
conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts Landlord’s Furniture and that Landlord’s
Furniture was in good condition at the time possession was taken. Tenant agrees
and acknowledges that, except as otherwise set forth in the Lease or this Second
Amendment, neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any
representation or warranty with respect to the condition of Landlord’s
Furniture.

 

11. Signage. So long as Tenant leases at least 48,000 rentable square feet in
the Building, Tenant shall have the right to display, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, Tenant’s name and logo in a location on the west wing of the Building
in the location shown on Exhibit D hereto (“Building Sign”). For purposes of the
preceding sentence, the Expansion Premises shall be considered leased during the
term of the Achaogen Sublease. Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that the
Building Sign including, without limitation, the location, size, color and type,
shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld and shall be consistent with Landlord’s signage program at
the Project and applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall be responsible, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the maintenance of the Building Sign, for
the removal of the Building Sign at the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease and for the repair all damage resulting from such removal.

 

12. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants that it has not
dealt with any broker, agent or other person (collectively, “Broker”), other
than Cresa, in connection with the transaction reflected in this Second
Amendment. Landlord and Tenant each hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the
other harmless from and against any claims by any Broker, other than the
brokers, if any named in this Second Amendment, claiming a commission or other
form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with Tenant or Landlord, as
applicable, with regard to this leasing transaction.

 

13. Provisions of Achaogen Lease as to Expansion Premises During Term of
Achaogen Sublease. During the term of the Achaogen Sublease with respect to the
Expansion Premises only, Landlord shall: (a) not include in Operating Expenses
thereunder any amounts that could not then be included in Operating Expenses
under the Lease; and (b) not require Tenant to indemnify Landlord for any Claims
to the extent Tenant would not be required to indemnify Landlord for such Claims
under Section 16 of the Lease.

 

14. Miscellaneous.

a. This Second Amendment is the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous oral and written agreements and discussions. This Second
Amendment may be amended only by an agreement in writing, signed by the parties
hereto.

b. This Second Amendment is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns.

c. This Second Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. The signature page of any counterpart
may be detached therefrom without impairing the legal effect of the signature(s)
thereon provided such signature page is attached to any other counterpart
identical thereto except having additional signature pages executed by other
parties to this Second Amendment attached thereto.

d. Except as amended and/or modified by this Second Amendment, the Lease is
hereby ratified and confirmed and all other terms of the Lease shall remain in
full force and effect,

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

unaltered and unchanged by this Second Amendment. In the event of any conflict
between the provisions of this Second Amendment and the provisions of the Lease,
the provisions of this Second Amendment shall prevail. Whether or not
specifically amended by this Second Amendment, all of the terms and provisions
of the Lease are hereby amended to the extent necessary to give effect to the
purpose and intent of this Second Amendment.

e. The date applicable to the Expansion Premises in subpart (i) of the last
sentence of Section 30(a) of the Lease shall be the commencement date of the
Achaogen Sublease.

Agreement dated as of September 14, 2010, as amended by that First Amendment to

initially capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
given them in the Lease.

 

  1. General Requirements.

(a) Tenant’s Authorized Representative. Tenant designates Les Winchester
(“Tenant’s Representative”) as the only person authorized to act for Tenant
pursuant to this Work Letter. Landlord shall not be obligated to respond to or
act upon any request, approval, inquiry or other communication (“Communication”)
from or on behalf of Tenant in connection with this Work Letter unless such
Communication is in writing from Tenant’s Representative. Tenant may change
Tenant’s Representative at any time upon not less than 5 business days advance
written notice to Landlord.

(b) Landlord’s Authorized Representative. Landlord designates Todd Miller and
Rob Kain (either such individual acting alone, “Landlord’s Representative”) as
the only persons authorized to act for Landlord pursuant to this Work Letter.
Tenant shall not be obligated to respond to or act upon any request, approval,
inquiry or other Communication from or on behalf of Landlord in connection with
this Work Letter unless such Communication is in writing from Landlord’s
Representative. Landlord may change either Landlord’s Representative at any time
upon not less than 5 business days advance written notice to Tenant.

(c) Architects, Consultants and Contractors. Landlord and Tenant hereby
acknowledge and agree that the architect (the “TI Architect”) for the Tenant
Improvements (as defined in Section 2(a) below), the general contractor and any
subcontractors for the Tenant Improvements shall be selected by Tenant, subject
to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall be named a third party beneficiary of any
contract entered into by Tenant with the TI Architect, any consultant, any
contractor or any subcontractor, and of any warranty made by any contractor or
any subcontractor. Landlord hereby approves of DGA as Tenant’s architect and
Landmark as Tenant’s general contractor.

 

  2. Tenant Improvements.

(a) Tenant Improvements Defined. As used herein, “Tenant Improvements” shall
mean all improvements to the Premises (including the Expansion Premises) desired
by Tenant of a fixed and permanent nature. Other than funding the TI Allowance
(as defined below) as provided herein, Landlord shall not have any obligation
whatsoever with respect to the finishing of the Premises for Tenant’s use and
occupancy.

(b) Tenant’s Space Plans. Tenant shall be responsible for the delivery to
Landlord of schematic drawings and outline specifications (the “TI Design
Drawings”) detailing Tenant’s requirements for the Tenant Improvements. Not more
than 10 days thereafter, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the written
objections, questions or comments of Landlord and the TI Architect with regard
to the TI Design Drawings. Tenant shall cause the TI Design Drawings to be
revised to address such written comments and shall resubmit said drawings to
Landlord for approval within 10 days thereafter. Such process shall continue
until Landlord has approved the TI Design Drawings. Landlord approves of the
Tenant Improvements described on Schedule 1 of this Work Letter and shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to the TI Design Drawings to the extent
consistent therewith.

 

C-1

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

(c) Working Drawings. Not later than 15 business days following the approval of
the TI Design Drawings by Landlord, Tenant shall cause the TI Architect to
prepare and deliver to Landlord for review and comment construction plans,
specifications and drawings for the Tenant Improvements (“TI Construction
Drawings”), which TI Construction Drawings shall be prepared substantially in
accordance with the TI Design Drawings. Tenant shall be solely responsible for
ensuring that the TI Construction Drawings reflect Tenant’s requirements for the
Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall deliver its written comments on the TI
Construction Drawings to Tenant not later than 10 business days after Landlord’s
receipt of the same; provided, however, that Landlord may not disapprove any
matter that is consistent with the TI Design Drawings. Tenant and the TI
Architect shall consider all such comments in good faith and shall, within 10
business days after receipt, notify Landlord how Tenant proposes to respond to
such comments. Any disputes in connection with such comments shall be resolved
in accordance with Section 2(d) hereof. Provided that the design reflected in
the TI Construction Drawings is consistent with the TI Design Drawings or
otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Landlord shall approve the TI
Construction Drawings submitted by Tenant. Once approved by Landlord, subject to
the provisions of Section 4 below, Tenant shall not materially modify the TI
Construction Drawings except as may be reasonably required in connection with
the issuance of the TI Permit (as defined in Section 3(a) below).

(d) Approval and Completion. If any dispute regarding the design of the Tenant
Improvements is not settled within 10 business days after notice of such dispute
is delivered by one party to the other, Tenant may make the final decision
regarding the design of the Tenant Improvements, provided (i) Tenant acts
reasonably and such final decision is either consistent with or a compromise
between Landlord’s and Tenant’s positions with respect to such dispute,
(ii) that all costs and expenses resulting from any such decision by Tenant
shall be payable out of the TI Allowance (as defined in Section 5(b) below) or
otherwise payable by Tenant, and (iii) Tenant’s decision will not affect the
base Building, structural components of the Building or any Building systems (in
which case Landlord shall make the final decision). Any changes to the TI
Construction Drawings following Landlord’s and Tenant’s approval of same
requested by Tenant shall be processed as provided in Section 4 hereof.

(e) No Obligation to Building Tenant Improvements. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Work Letter, Tenant’s failure to design or
construct the Tenant Improvements or meet any of the time periods set forth in
this Work Letter for the construction of the Tenant Improvements shall not be a
default under the Lease. Nothing contained in this Work Letter shall delay the
Expansion Premises Commencement Date or the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement
Date.

 

  3. Performance of the Tenant Improvements.

(a) Commencement and Permitting of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall
commence construction of the Tenant Improvements upon obtaining and delivering
to Landlord a building permit (the “TI Permit”) authorizing the construction of
the Tenant Improvements consistent with the TI Construction Drawings approved by
Landlord. The cost of obtaining the TI Permit shall be payable from the TI
Allowance. Landlord shall assist Tenant in obtaining the TI Permit. Prior to the
commencement of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy
of any contract with Tenant’s contractors (including the TI Architect), and
certificates of insurance from any contractor performing any part of the Tenant
Improvement evidencing industry standard commercial general liability,
automotive liability, “builder’s risk”, and workers’ compensation insurance.
Tenant shall cause the general contractor to provide a certificate of insurance
naming Landlord, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., and Landlord’s lender
(if any) as additional insureds for the general contractor’s liability coverages
required above.

(b) Selection of Materials, Etc. Where more than one type of material or
structure is indicated on the TI Construction Drawings approved by Tenant and
Landlord, the option will be within Tenant’s reasonable discretion if the matter
concerns the Tenant Improvements, and within Landlord’s sole and absolute
subjective discretion if the matter concerns the structural components of the
Building or any Building System.

 

C-2

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

(c) Tenant Liability. Tenant shall be responsible for correcting any
deficiencies or defects in the Tenant Improvements.

(d) Substantial Completion. Tenant shall substantially complete or cause to be
substantially completed the Tenant Improvements in a good and workmanlike
manner, in accordance with the TI Permit subject, in each case, to Minor
Variations and normal “punch list” items of a non-material nature which do not
interfere with the use of the Premises (“Substantial Completion” or
“Substantially Complete”). Upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant
Improvements, Tenant shall require the TI Architect and the general contractor
to execute and deliver, for the benefit of Tenant and Landlord, a Certificate of
Substantial Completion in the form of the American Institute of Architects
(“AIA”) document G704. For purposes of this Work Letter, “Minor Variations”
shall mean any modifications reasonably required: (i) to comply with all
applicable Legal Requirements and/or to obtain or to comply with any required
permit (including the TI Permit); (ii) to comport with good design, engineering,
and construction practices which are not material; or (iii) to make reasonable
adjustments for field deviations or conditions encountered during the
construction of the Tenant Improvements.

4. Changes. Any changes requested by Tenant to the Tenant Improvements after the
delivery and approval by Landlord of the TI Design Drawings, shall be requested
and instituted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 and shall be
subject to the written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(a) Tenant’s Right to Request Changes. If Tenant shall request changes
(“Changes”), Tenant shall request such Changes by notifying Landlord in writing
in substantially the same form as the AIA standard change order form (a “Change
Request”), which Change Request shall detail the nature and extent of any such
Change. Such Change Request must be signed by Tenant’s Representative. Landlord
shall review and approve or disapprove such Change Request within 10 business
days thereafter, provided that Landlord’s approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Implementation of Changes. If Landlord approves such Change, Tenant may
cause the approved Change to be instituted. If any TI Permit modification or
change is required as a result of such Change, Tenant shall promptly provide
Landlord with a copy of such TI Permit modification or change.

 

  5. Costs.

(a) Budget For Tenant Improvements. Before the commencement of construction of
the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall obtain a detailed breakdown, by trade, of
the costs incurred or that will be incurred, in connection with the design and

the cost of any of the Tenant Improvements except to the extent of the TI
Allowance. If at any time and from time-to-time, the remaining TI Costs under
the Budget exceed the remaining unexpended TI Allowance (the “Excess TI Costs”),
Tenant shall directly pay, without any right to reimbursement from Landlord, any
necessary funds to cover such Excess TI Costs, and Tenant shall deliver evidence
of such payment to Landlord, before any initial or further TI Allowance is
utilized for the Tenant Improvements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

unconditional lien releases for the prior month’s progress payments), inspection
reports and other matters as Landlord customarily obtains, to the extent of
Landlord’s approval thereof for payment, no later than 30 days following receipt
of such draw request. Upon completion of the Tenant Improvements (and prior to
any final disbursement of the TI Allowance), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord:

subcontractors who did the work and final, unconditional lien waivers from all
