condition and repair on or before the Delivery Date. Additionally, Tenant acknowledges that it shall continue to accept the Existing Premises in its presently existing “as-is”

warranty regarding the condition of the Existing Premises, the Expansion Premises, or the Building or with respect to the suitability of any of the foregoing for the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Existing Premises or the Expansion
Premises. 
 7. Warranty. Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (which shall not be deemed an Operating
Expense), repair or replace any failed or inoperable portion of the HVAC systems, plumbing, electrical systems, fire sprinkler system, lighting, and all other building systems serving the Existing Premises during the period from the Expansion
Commencement Date through May 30, 2020 (“Warranty Period”), provided that the need to repair or replace was not caused by the misuse, misconduct, damage, destruction, omissions, and/or negligence of Tenant, its subtenants and/or
assignees, if any, or any company which is acquired, sold or merged with Tenant (collectively, “Tenant Damage”), or by any modifications, Alterations or improvements constructed by or on behalf of Tenant. Landlord shall coordinate
any such work with Tenant and shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to perform the same in a manner designed to minimize interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises. To the extent repairs which Landlord is required to make pursuant
to this Section 7 are necessitated in part by Tenant Damage, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for an equitable proportion of the cost of such repair. 

8. Broker. Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent
in connection with the negotiation of this First Amendment other than CBRE, Inc. (the “Broker”), and that they know of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this First Amendment.
Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the indemnifying party’s dealings with any real estate broker or agent, other than the Broker. The terms of this
Section 7 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Lease, as hereby amended. 
 9.
Parking. Effective as of the Expansion Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Expansion Term, Tenant shall be entitled to rent up to forty-one (41) unreserved parking passes (i.e.,
three (3) unreserved parking passes per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Expansion Premises) in connection with Tenant’s lease of the Expansion Premises (the “Expansion Parking Passes”), subject to and in accordance with
the terms of the Lease. 
 10. Emergency Generator. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that Tenant shall have the right to
increase its use of the Emergency Generator in the Premises, as expanded by the Expansion Premises, subject to and in accordance with Section 6.5 of the Lease. 

11. Increase in L-C Amount. The “L-C”,
as that term is defined in Section 21.1 of the Lease, currently held by Landlord is in the amount of $89,812.60. In connection with this

[First Amendment]
 [Nkarta,

First Amendment, Landlord and Tenant herby agree that the L-C Amount shall be increased by an amount equal to One Hundred Seventy-Eight Thousand Seven
Hundred Twenty-Two Dollars ($178,722.00). As as of the date of this First Amendment, the L-C Amount shall be equal to a new total amount of Two Hundred Sixty-Eight
Thousand Five Hundred Thirty-Four and 60/100 Dollars ($268,534.60) (the “New L-C Amount”). Accordingly, concurrently with Tenant’s execution and delivery of this First Amendment to
Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with an amendment to the L-C (in form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord) in order that the L-C, as amended, is in the
New L-C Amount. 
 12. Certified Access Specialist. For purposes of Section 1938
of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Expansion Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). As required by Section 1938(e) of the
California Civil Code, Landlord hereby states as follows: “A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility
standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the
occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and
the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.” In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows: (a) any CASp inspection
requested by Tenant shall be conducted, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, by a CASp designated by Landlord, subject to Landlord’s reasonable rules and requirements; and (b) pursuant to Article 24 of the Lease, but subject
to Section 10.2 of the Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for making any repairs within the Expansion Premises to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards and if
anything done by or for Tenant in its use or occupancy of the Expansion Premises shall require any repairs to the Building or Project (outside the Expansion Premises) to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards, then Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent, for the cost to Landlord of performing such improvements or repairs. 
 13.
No Further Modification; Conflict. Except as set forth in this First Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease shall apply with respect to the Expansion Premises and shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.
In the event of a conflict between the Lease and this First Amendment, the terms of this First Amendment shall prevail. 
 14.
Use. In addition to the uses set forth in Section 7 of the Summary of Basic Lease Information, Tenant shall also be permitted to use the Premises for GMP manufacturing. 

15. No Deed of Trust. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that the Project is not currently subject to any ground
lease, or to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust.
