	6.	PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL STOCK AWARDS. 

6.1 No Stockholder Rights. No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to,
any shares of Common Stock subject to any Stock Award held by such Participant unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for the exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its terms. 

6.2 No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any Stock Award Agreement shall confer upon any Participant any right
to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in any capacity, or modify any agreement governing the employment of any Participant. Likewise, nothing in the Plan or any Stock Award shall affect the right of the Company or any applicable Affiliate
to terminate: (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without Cause; (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant’s agreement with the Company or an

 
Affiliate; or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the bylaws of the Company or any applicable Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the
Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be. 
 6.3 Investment Assurances. At any time that the issuance of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of a Stock Award has not been registered under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Company may: (i) require a Participant, as a condition of acquiring Common Stock
under such Stock Award, to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company (a) as to the Participant’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and capability to evaluate the merits and risks of acquiring such Common
Stock under such Stock Award and (b) stating that the Participant is acquiring such Common Stock under the Stock Award for the Participant’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing such Common
Stock; and (ii) place legends, including without limitation, legends restricting the transfer of such Common Stock, on any and all stock certificates representing such Common Stock in order to comply with applicable securities laws. 

6.4 Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by the terms of a Stock Award Agreement, the Participant may satisfy any federal,
state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the acquisition of Common Stock under a Stock Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the
Company) or by a combination of any of such means: (i) tendering a cash payment; (ii) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the
acquisition of Common Stock under the Stock Award; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary
to avoid variable award accounting); or (iii) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock. 
 6.5
Vesting. The Board or Committee may provide that the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Award shall vest in installments over any given period of time. Criteria for determining the vesting of shares of Common Stock subject
to a Stock Award may be based solely on the passage of time or on any other criteria, including without limitation, the performance of the Participant, deemed appropriate by the Board or Committee. 

6.6 Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which a Stock Award may first
be exercised or the time during which a Stock Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Stock Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will
vest. 
 6.7 Terms of Repurchase Options. The terms of any repurchase option in favor of the Company with respect to shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to a Stock Award shall be specified in the applicable Stock Award Agreement. The price per share of Common Stock at which such repurchase option may be exercised may be either: (i) the Fair Market Value of the shares of
Common Stock on the date of the termination of the applicable Participant’s Continuous Service; or (ii) the lower of (a) the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of repurchase and (b) the original purchase
price per share of Common Stock paid by the applicable Participant; provided, however, that the terms of any repurchase option shall comply at all times with the provisions of Sections 260.140.41 and 260.140.42 of CCR Title 10 relating
to “presumptively reasonable” repurchase prices. 
 6.8 Information Obligation. To the extent required by
Section 260.140.46 of CCR Title 10, the Company shall deliver financial statements to Participants at least annually; provided, however, that the obligation to deliver financial statements shall not apply to Employees whose duties
with the Company assure them access to equivalent information. 

	7.	OPTIONS. 

 7.1 Stock Award Agreements for Options. Each Stock Award
Agreement for an Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board or Committee shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of such Stock Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and
conditions of Stock Award Agreements for separate Options need not be identical; provided, however, that each Stock Award Agreement for an Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Stock Award
Agreement or otherwise) the substance of the provisions set forth in this Section 7. 
 7.2 Designation. All Options shall be
separately designated Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options at the time of grant, and, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates shall be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of each type
of Option. 
 7.3 Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.4 above, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of
ten (10) years from the date it was granted. 
 7.4 Minimum Vesting. Notwithstanding Section 6.5 above, to the extent
required by Section 260.140.41(f) of CCR Title 10: (i) Options granted to an Employee who is not an Officer, Director or Consultant shall provide for vesting of the total number of shares of Common Stock at a rate of at least twenty
percent (20%) per year over five (5) years from the date the Option was granted, subject to reasonable conditions such as Continuous Service; and (ii) Options granted to Officers, Directors or Consultants may be made fully exercisable
at any time or during any period established by the Board or Committee, subject to reasonable conditions such as Continuous Service. 
  

	 	7.5	Consideration. 

 (a) The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an
Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either: (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised; or (ii) at the discretion of the Board at the time of the grant of the Option (or subsequently
in the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option), (a) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock at the time the Option is exercised, (b) according to a deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Participant or (c) in any
other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 7.5(a) above:
(i) unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option, the purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option that is paid by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, shall
be paid only by shares of the Common Stock of the Company that have been held for more than six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes); and (ii) in the
case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be compounded at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of interest necessary to avoid (a) the treatment as interest, under any applicable provisions of the Code, of any
amounts other than amounts stated to be interest under the deferred payment arrangement and (b) the treatment of the Option as a variable award for financial accounting purposes. 

7.6 Early Exercise. An Option may include a provision whereby the Participant may elect, at any time before the Participant’s
Continuous Service terminates, to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of such shares of Common Stock. Subject to Section 6.7 above, any unvested shares of
Common Stock so purchased may 

 
be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate. 

 

	 	7.7	Termination of Continuous Service. 

 (a) Termination Other Than for Cause or As a
Result of Death or Disability. In the event that a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates other than for Cause or as a result of the Participant’s Disability or death, the Participant may exercise his or her Option (to the extent
that the Participant was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination) at any time within the period (the “Post-Termination Exercise Period”) ending on the earlier of: (i) the expiration of the term of
the Option as set forth in the applicable Stock Award Agreement; or (ii) the date three (3) months following the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the applicable Stock
Award Agreement, which period shall not be less than thirty (30) days). If, after the termination of such Participant’s Continuous Service, such Participant does not exercise his or her Option within such Post-Termination Exercise Period,
the Option shall terminate. 
 (b) Termination for Cause. In the event a Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated for
Cause, the Option shall terminate upon the termination date of such Participant’s Continuous Service, and the Participant shall be prohibited from exercising his or her Option as of the time of such termination. 

(c) Termination As a Result of Disability. In the event that a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the
Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), at any time during the Post-Termination Exercise Period ending on
the earlier of: (i) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Stock Award Agreement; or (ii) the date twelve (12) months following such termination of Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified
in the Stock Award Agreement, which period shall not be less than six (6) months). If, after termination of Continuous Service, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within such Post-Termination Exercise Period, the Option shall
terminate. 
 (d) Termination As a Result of Death. In the event that a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates as a result
of the Participant’s death or a Participant dies within any applicable Post-Termination Exercise Period, then such Participant’s Option may be exercised (to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of
death) by the Participant’s estate, by a Person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a Person designated to exercise the Option upon the Participant’s death pursuant to Section 7.8(b) or 7.9(b)
below, at any time during the Post-Termination Exercise Period ending on the earlier of: (i) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Stock Award Agreement; or (ii) the date eighteen (18) months following such
termination of Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Stock Award Agreement, which period shall not be less than six (6) months). If, after termination of Continuous Service, the Participant does not exercise his
or her Option within such Post-Termination Exercise Period, the Option shall terminate. 
  

	 	7.8	Special Provisions for Incentive Stock Options. 

 (a) Exercise Price. Subject to
the provisions of Section 5.4 above, the exercise price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option on the date the
Incentive Stock Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Incentive Stock Option is granted pursuant

 
to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code. 

(b) Transferability. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and
shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may, by delivering written notice to the Company in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in
the event of the death of such Participant, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise such Participant’s Incentive Stock Option. 

(c) $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of Common Stock with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates exceeds $100,000, the Incentive Stock Options or the portions thereof that
exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the applicable Stock Award Agreement(s). 

 

	 	7.9	Special Provisions for Nonstatutory Stock Options. 

 (a) Exercise Price. Subject
to the provisions of Section 5.4 above, the exercise price of each Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Nonstatutory Stock Option on the date
the Nonstatutory Stock Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Nonstatutory Stock Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Nonstatutory Stock Option is granted pursuant to
an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code. 
 (b)
Transferability. A Nonstatutory Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, to the extent provided in the Stock Award Agreement and as permitted by Section 260.140.41(d) of CCR Title
10 at the time of the grant of the Nonstatutory Stock Option, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. If a Nonstatutory Stock Option does not provide for transferability, then such Nonstatutory Stock
Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may, by delivering
written notice to the Company in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of such Participant, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise such Participant’s Nonstatutory Stock Option. 

 

	8.	STOCK BONUSES. 

 8.1 Stock Award Agreements for Stock
Bonuses. Each Stock Award Agreement for a stock bonus shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board or Committee shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of such Stock Award Agreements may change from
time to time, and the terms and conditions of Stock Award Agreements for separate stock bonuses need not be identical; provided, however, that each Stock Award Agreement for a stock bonus shall include (through incorporation of
provisions hereof by reference in the Stock Award Agreement or otherwise) the substance of the provisions set forth in this Section 8. 

8.2 Consideration. A stock bonus may be awarded in consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company or an Affiliate for
its benefit. 

 8.3 Termination of Participant’s Continuous Service. In the event that a
Participant’s Continuous Service terminates, the Company may reacquire, for no consideration, any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant that have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the Stock Award
Agreement for the stock bonus. 
 8.4 Transferability. Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the Stock Award Agreement for a
stock bonus shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. 

 

	9.	RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS. 

 9.1 Stock
Award Agreements for Restricted Stock Awards. Each Stock Award Agreement for a Restricted Stock Award shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board or Committee shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of
such Stock Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of Stock Award Agreements for separate Restricted Stock Awards need not be identical; provided, however, that each Stock Award Agreement for a
Restricted Stock Award shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Stock Award Agreement or otherwise) the substance of the provisions set forth in this Section 9. 

9.2 Purchase Price. At the time of grant of a Restricted Stock Award, the Board or Committee will determine the price to be paid by the
Participant for each share of Common Stock subject to such Restricted Stock Award. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.4 above, the purchase price of Restricted Stock Awards shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock on the date such Restricted Stock Award is made or at the time the purchase is consummated. A Restricted Stock Award may be awarded as a stock bonus (i.e., with no cash purchase price to be paid) to the extent
permissible under applicable law. 
 9.3 Consideration. At the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock Award, the Board will
determine the consideration permissible for the payment of the purchase price of the Restricted Stock Award. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Stock Award Agreement for the Restricted Stock Award shall be paid either:
(i) in cash at the time of purchase; (ii) at the discretion of the Board, according to a deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Participant; (iii) by services rendered or to be rendered to the Company; or (iv) in
any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in its discretion. 
 9.4 Termination of Participant’s
Continuous Service. Subject to Section 6.7, in the event that a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates, the Company may repurchase or otherwise reacquire any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant that have
not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the Stock Award Agreement for such Participant’s Restricted Stock Award. 

9.5 Transferability. Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the Stock Award Agreement for a Restricted Stock Award shall not be
transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. 
  

	10.	ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK. 

10.1 Capitalization Adjustments. If any change is made in, or any event occurs with respect to, the Common Stock of the Company without
the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in 

 
property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction (each a “Capitalization
Adjustment”)), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Section 4.1, and the outstanding Stock Awards will be appropriately adjusted in the class and
number of securities and price per share of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Stock Awards; provided, however, that the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction “without
receipt of consideration” by the Company and shall not give rise to a Capitalization Adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.1. The Board or Committee shall make such adjustments, which shall be final, binding and conclusive. 

10.2 Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding Stock Awards shall
terminate immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation, and shares of Common Stock subject to any repurchase option in favor of the Company may be repurchased by the Company, regardless of whether or not the applicable
Participant’s Continuous Service has terminated. 
  

	 	10.3	Corporate Transaction. 

 (a) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, any
surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may (but need not) assume or continue any or all Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan or may (but need not) substitute similar stock awards for Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan (including an
award to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders or the Company, as the case may be, pursuant to the Corporate Transaction), and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company in respect of Common Stock issued pursuant to
Stock Awards may be assigned by the Company to the successor of the Company or to the acquiring corporation (or such successor’s or acquiring corporation’s parent company), if any, in connection with such Corporate Transaction. In the
event any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation elects to assume or continue any or all Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan, such Stock Awards shall remain in effect in accordance with the terms of this Plan and the applicable Stock
Award Agreements, but shall thereafter represent the right to receive (upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms of such Stock Awards, if applicable) for each share of Common Stock underlying each such Stock Award such cash, securities or
other property that would have been received by the applicable Participant had such Participant exercised such Stock Award immediately prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction. 

(b) In the event that, in connection with a Corporate Transaction, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation does not assume
or continue any or all such outstanding Stock Awards or substitute similar stock awards for such outstanding Stock Awards, then with respect to Stock Awards that have not been assumed, continued or substituted, such Stock Awards shall terminate if
not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the effective time of such Corporate Transaction, and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company with respect to such Stock Awards held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not
terminated shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of the Corporate Transaction) lapse. 
 10.4 Change in Control. A Stock Award
held by any Participant whose Continuous Service has not terminated prior to the effective time of a Change in Control may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability upon or after such Change in Control as may be provided in
the Stock Award Agreement for such Stock Award; provided, however, that in the absence of any such provision in the Stock Award Agreement for such Stock Award, no such acceleration shall occur. 

	11.	TERMINATION, SUSPENSION AND AMENDMENT. 

11.1 Termination or Suspension of the Plan. The Board may terminate or suspend the Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan
shall terminate on the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or approved by the stockholders of the Company, whichever is earlier. No Stock Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is
suspended or after it is terminated. 
 11.2 Amendment of the Plan and Stock Awards. Subject to Section 11.3 below, the Board
may, from time to time, amend the Plan or any Stock Award in any manner it deems appropriate or necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as expressly provided elsewhere in the Plan, no amendment to the Plan shall be effective unless approved
by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. 

11.3 No Impairment. No termination or suspension of the Plan or amendment of the Plan or any Stock Award shall impair the rights of a
Participant with respect to any outstanding Stock Award, unless the Company receives the written consent of such Participant. 
  

	12.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

  

	 	12.1	Compliance with Laws. 

 (a) This Plan and the obligations of the Company with
respect to any Stock Awards granted hereunder shall be subject to all applicable federal and state securities laws. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any applicable regulatory commission or agency the authority that
legal counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock pursuant to such Stock Awards, then the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock in connection with such
Stock Awards unless and until such authority is obtained. 
 (b) To facilitate the grant of any Stock Award, the Committee may impose
special terms for Stock Awards granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or who are employed by the Company or any Affiliate outside of the United States as the Board or Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate
differences in local laws, tax policies or customs. 
 12.2 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Plan are held to be
unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Plan and the balance of the Plan shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. 

12.3 Governing Law. The law of the State of California shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and
interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state’s conflict of laws rules.

 The portions of the Project which are for the non-exclusive use of tenants of the Project are collectively
referred to herein as the “Common Areas.” Landlord reserves the right to modify Common Areas, provided that such modifications do not materially adversely affect Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Use. 

2. Delivery; Acceptance of Premises; Commencement Date. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver the Premises to Tenant on or
before the Target Commencement Date, with Landlord’s Work Substantially Completed (“Delivery” or “Deliver”). If Landlord fails to timely Deliver the Premises, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss
or damage resulting therefrom, and this Lease shall not be void or voidable except as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Base Rent payable with respect to the Premises shall be abated 1 day for each day after February 1, 2012 (as
such date may be extended for Force Majeure delays and Tenant Delays) that Landlord fails to Deliver the Premises to Tenant. If Landlord does not Deliver the Premises within 90 days of the Target Commencement Date for any reason other than Force
Majeure Delays and/or Tenant Delays, this Lease may be terminated by Tenant by written notice to Landlord, and if so terminated by Tenant: (a) the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant, and (b) neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have
any further rights, duties or obligations under this Lease, except with respect to provisions which expressly survive termination of this Lease. As used herein, the terms “Landlord’s Work,” “Tenant Delays” and
“Substantially Completed” shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Work Letter. If Tenant does not elect to terminate this Lease within 10 business days of the lapse of such 90 day period, such right to void this
Lease shall be waived and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. 
 The “Commencement Date” shall be the
earliest of: (i) the date Landlord Delivers the Premises to Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease; (ii) the date Landlord could have Delivered the Premises but for Tenant Delays; and (iii) the date Tenant conducts any
business in the Premises or any part thereof. The “Rent Commencement Date” shall be the date that is 8 months after the Commencement Date. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver a written acknowledgment of the
Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date and the expiration date of the Term when such are established in the form of the “Acknowledgement of Commencement Date” attached to this Lease as Exhibit D; provided,
however. Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such acknowledgment shall not affect Landlord’s rights hereunder. The “Term” of this Lease shall be the Base Term, as defined above on the first page of this Lease
and, if applicable, the Extension Term which Tenant may elect pursuant to Section 40 hereof. 
 Subject to the provisions of
Section 6 of the Work Letter, Landlord shall permit Tenant access to the Premises commencing on the date that is 30 days prior to the anticipated Commencement Date for Tenant’s installation and set up of its furniture, fixtures and
equipment (“FF&E Installation”), provided that such FF&E Installation is coordinated with Landlord, and Tenant complies with the Lease and all other reasonable restrictions and conditions Landlord may impose. All such access
shall be during normal business hours and, such access for the purposes of Tenant’s FF&E Installation only shall not constitute the conduct by Tenant of business for the purposes of determining the Commencement Date of this Lease pursuant
to the immediately preceding paragraph. Any access to the Premises by Tenant before the Commencement Date shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, excluding the obligation to pay Base Rent and Operating Expenses. In no
event shall Tenant have the right to conduct any business in the Premises prior to the Commencement Date. 
 Except as set forth in the Work
Letter, if applicable: (i) Tenant shall accept the Premises in their condition as of the Commencement Date, subject to all applicable Legal Requirements (as defined in Section 7 hereof); (ii) Landlord shall have no obligation
for any defects in the Premises; and (iii) Tenant’s taking possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the Premises and that the Premises were in good condition at the time possession was taken.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall be entitled to receive the benefit of all construction warranties and manufacturer’s equipment warranties relating to the Tenant Improvements.

 (cc) costs for expenses in connection with services or other benefits which are not available
to Tenant, but which are provided solely to other tenants or occupants of the Building; and 
 (dd) any expenses otherwise includable within
Operating Expenses to the extent actually reimbursed by persons other than tenants of the Project under leases for space in the Project. 

Within 90 days after the end of each calendar year (or such longer period as may be reasonably required), Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a
statement (an “Annual Statement”) showing in reasonable detail: (a) the total and Tenant’s Share of actual Operating Expenses for the previous calendar year, and (b) the total of Tenant’s payments in
respect of Operating Expenses for such year. If Tenant’s Share of actual Operating Expenses for such year exceeds Tenant’s payments of Operating Expenses for such year, the excess shall be due and payable by Tenant as Rent within 30 days
after delivery of such Annual Statement to Tenant. If Tenant’s payments of Operating Expenses for such year exceed Tenant’s Share of actual Operating Expenses for such year Landlord shall pay the excess to Tenant within 30 days after
delivery of such Annual Statement, except that after the expiration, or earlier termination of the Term or if Tenant is delinquent in its obligation to pay Rent, Landlord shall pay the excess to Tenant after deducting all other amounts due Landlord.
Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligations to pay any overpayments or deficiencies due pursuant to this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 

The Annual Statement shall be final and binding upon Tenant unless Tenant, within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt thereof, shall contest
any item therein by giving written notice to Landlord, specifying each item contested and the reason therefor. If, during such 30 day period, Tenant reasonably and in good faith questions or contests the accuracy of Landlord’s statement of
Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Landlord will provide Tenant with access to Landlord’s books and records relating to the operation of the Project and such information as Landlord reasonably determines to be responsive to
Tenant’s questions (the “Expense Information”). If after Tenant’s review of such Expense Information, Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the amount of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, then Tenant shall have
the right to have an independent public accounting firm selected by Tenant from among the 4 largest in the United States, working pursuant to a fee arrangement other than a contingent fee (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) and approved by
Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), audit and/or review the Expense Information for the year in question (the “Independent Review”). The results of any such Independent Review shall be binding on
Landlord and Tenant. If the Independent Review shows that the payments actually made by Tenant with respect to Operating Expenses for the calendar year in question exceeded Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such calendar year, Landlord
shall at Landlord’s option either (i) credit the excess amount to the next succeeding installments of estimated Operating Expenses or (ii) pay the excess to Tenant within 30 days after delivery of such statement, except that after the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or if Tenant is delinquent in its obligation to pay Rent, Landlord shall pay the excess to Tenant after deducting all other amounts due Landlord. If the Independent Review shows that Tenant’s
payments with respect to Operating Expenses for such calendar year were less than Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the calendar year, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within 30 days after delivery of such statement. If the
Independent Review shows that Tenant has overpaid with respect to Operating Expenses by more than 5% then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all costs incurred by Tenant for the Independent Review. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the
contrary, if the Building is not at least 95% occupied on average during any year of the Term, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such year shall be computed as though the Building had been 95% occupied on average during such year. 

“Tenant’s Share” shall be the percentage set forth on the first page of this Lease as Tenant’s Share as reasonably
adjusted by Landlord for changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Project occurring thereafter. Landlord may equitably increase Tenant’s Share for any item of expense or cost reimbursable by Tenant that relates to a repair,
replacement, or service that benefits only the Premises or only a portion of the Project that includes the Premises or that varies with occupancy or use. Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and all other amounts payable by Tenant to
Landlord hereunder are collectively referred to herein as “Rent.”

 6. Security Deposit. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, upon delivery of an executed
copy of this Lease to Landlord, a security deposit (the “Security Deposit”) for the performance of all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder in the amount set forth on page 1 of this Lease, which Security Deposit shall be in the
form of an unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”): (i) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (ii) naming Landlord as beneficiary, (iii) expressly allowing Landlord
to draw upon it at any time from time to time by delivering to the issuer notice that Landlord is entitled to draw thereunder, (iv) issued by an FDIC-insured financial institution satisfactory to Landlord, and (v) redeemable by
presentation of a sight draft in the State of California. If Tenant does not provide Landlord with a substitute Letter of Credit complying with all of the requirements hereof at least 10 days before the stated expiration date of any then current
Letter of Credit, Landlord shall have the right to draw the full amount of the current Letter of Credit and hold the funds drawn in cash without obligation for interest thereon as the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord
as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of Tenant’s default. Upon each occurrence of a Default (as
defined in Section 20), Landlord may use all or any part of the Security Deposit to pay delinquent payments due under this Lease, future rent damages under California Civil Code Section 1951.2, and the cost of any damage, injury,
expense or liability caused by such Default, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law. Landlord’s right to use the Security Deposit under this Section 6 includes the right to use the Security Deposit
to pay future rent damages following the termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 21(c) below. Upon any use of all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the amount that will restore the Security
Deposit to the amount set forth on Page 1 of this Lease. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any law, now or hereafter in force, including, without limitation, California Civil Code Section 1950.7, which provide that Landlord may claim from
a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of Rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums reasonably necessary to
compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent or invitee of Tenant. Upon bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceedings against Tenant, the
Security Deposit shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of Rent and other charges due Landlord for periods prior to the filing of such proceedings. If Tenant shall fully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant,
the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof (i.e., after deducting therefrom all amounts to which Landlord is entitled under the provisions of this Lease), shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of
Tenant’s interest hereunder) within 90 days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 
 Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that Tenant may, at Tenant’s election, deposit the sum of $37,707.80 in cash (“Initial Deposit”) with Landlord as the Security Deposit under this Lease concurrent with
Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of an original of this Lease executed by Tenant; provided, however, that Tenant shall replace the cash Security Deposit with a Letter of Credit in the amount of $37,707.80 on or before the date that is 30 days
after the Commencement Date. Promptly after the delivery to Landlord of the approved and effective Letter of Credit in the amount of $37,707.80, Landlord shall return the Initial Deposit to Tenant. Nothing herein shall prohibit Tenant from
delivering the Security Deposit in the form of a Letter of Credit concurrent with Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of an original of this Lease executed by Tenant. 

If Landlord transfers its interest in the Project or this Lease, Landlord shall either (a) transfer any Security Deposit then held by
Landlord to a person or entity assuming Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, or (b) return to Tenant any Security Deposit then held by Landlord and remaining after the deductions permitted herein. Upon such transfer to such transferee
or the return of the Security Deposit to Tenant, Landlord shall have no further obligation with respect to the Security Deposit, and Tenant’s right to the return of the Security Deposit shall apply solely against Landlord’s transferee. The
Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of Tenant’s default. Landlord’s obligation respecting the Security Deposit is that of a debtor, not a trustee, and no interest shall accrue
thereon.

 7. Use. The Premises shall be used solely for the Permitted Use set forth in the basic
lease provisions on page 1 of this Lease, and in compliance with all laws, orders, judgments, ordinances, regulations, codes, directives, permits, licenses, covenants and restrictions now or hereafter applicable to the Premises, and to the use and
occupancy thereof, including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq. (together with the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, “ADA”) (collectively, “Legal
Requirements” and each, a “Legal Requirement”). Tenant shall, upon 5 days’ written notice from Landlord, discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any Governmental Authority (as defined in
Section 9) having jurisdiction with respect to the Premises to be a violation of a Legal Requirement. Tenant will not use or permit the Premises to be used for any purpose or in any manner that would void Tenant’s or Landlord’s
insurance, increase the insurance risk, or cause the disallowance of any sprinkler or other credits. Tenant shall not permit any part of the Premises to be used as a “place of public accommodation”, as defined in the ADA or any similar
legal requirement. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord promptly upon demand for any additional premium charged to Landlord for any such Landlord’s insurance policy by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section or
otherwise caused by Tenant’s use and/or occupancy of the Premises. Tenant will use the Premises in a careful, safe and proper manner and will not commit or permit waste, overload the floor or structure of the Premises, subject the Premises to
use that would damage the Premises or obstruct or interfere with the rights of Landlord or other tenants or occupants of the Project, including conducting or giving notice of any auction, liquidation, or going out of business sale on the Premises,
or using or allowing the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose. Tenant shall cause any equipment or machinery to be installed in the Premises so as to reasonably prevent sounds or vibrations from the Premises from extending into Common Areas,
or other space in the Project. Tenant shall not place any machinery or equipment weighing 500 pounds or more in or upon the Premises or transport or move such items through the Common Areas of the Project or in the Project elevators without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Except as may be provided under the Work Letter, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, use the Premises in any manner which will
require ventilation, air exchange, heating, gas, steam, electricity or water beyond the existing capacity of the Project as proportionately allocated to the Premises based upon Tenant’s Share as usually furnished for the Permitted Use. 

Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, be responsible for the compliance of the Premises with Legal Requirements, including
the ADA, as of the Commencement Date. Following the Commencement Date, Landlord shall, as an Operating Expense (to the extent such Legal Requirement is generally applicable to similar buildings in the area in which the Project is located) or at
Tenant’s expense (to the extent such Legal Requirement is applicable by reason of Tenant’s, as compared to other tenants of the Project, specific use of the Premises or Tenant’s alterations) make any alterations or modifications to
the Common Areas or the exterior of the Building that are required by Legal Requirements. Except as otherwise provided in the 2 immediately preceding sentences, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall make any alterations or modifications to the interior
or the exterior of the Premises or the Project that are required by Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, compliance of the Premises with the ADA) related to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises. Notwithstanding any other
provision herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be responsible for any and all demands, claims, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses, actions, causes of action, damages or judgments, and all reasonable expenses incurred in investigating or resisting
the same (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements and costs of suit) (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of or caused by Tenant’s failure to comply with any Legal Requirements
as required in connection with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises as provided in this paragraph, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend, hold and save Landlord harmless from and against any and all Claims arising out of or in connection with
any failure of the Premises to comply with any Legal Requirement as required herein. 
 8. Holding Over. If, with Landlord’s
express written consent, Tenant retains possession of the Premises after the termination of the Term, (i) unless otherwise agreed in such written consent, such possession shall be subject to immediate termination by Landlord at any time,
(ii) all of the other terms and provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, the adjustment of Base Rent pursuant to Section 4 hereof) shall remain in full force and effect (excluding any expansion or renewal option or
other similar right or option) during such holdover period, (iii) Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent in the

amount payable upon the date of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or such other amount as Landlord may indicate, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, in such written
consent, and (iv) all other payments shall continue under the terms of this Lease. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term without the express written consent of Landlord,
(A) Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance upon the terms of this Lease except that the monthly rental shall be equal to 150% of Rent in effect during the last 30 days of the Term, and (B) Tenant shall be responsible for all damages
suffered by Landlord resulting from or occasioned by Tenant’s holding over, including consequential damages; provided, however, that if Tenant delivers a written inquiry to Landlord within 30 days prior to the expiration or earlier termination
of the Term, Landlord will notify Tenant whether the potential exists for consequential damages. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided, and
this Section 8 shall not be construed as consent for Tenant to retain possession of the Premises. Acceptance by Landlord of Rent after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease shall not result in a renewal or
reinstatement of this Lease. 
 9. Taxes. Landlord shall pay, as part of Operating Expenses, all taxes, levies, fees, assessments and
governmental charges of any kind, existing as of the Commencement Date or thereafter enacted (collectively referred to as “Taxes”), imposed by any federal, state, regional, municipal, local or other governmental authority or agency,
including, without limitation, quasi-public agencies (collectively, “Governmental Authority”) during the Term, including, without limitation, all Taxes: (i) imposed on or measured by or based, in whole or in part, on rent
payable to Landlord under this Lease and/or from the rental by Landlord of the Project or any portion thereof (other than net income taxes imposed on Landlord except to the extent such net income taxes are in substitution for any Taxes payable
hereunder), or (ii) based on the square footage, assessed value or other measure or evaluation of any kind of the Premises or the Project, or (iii) assessed or imposed by or on the operation or maintenance of any portion of the Premises or
the Project, including parking, or (iv) assessed or imposed by, or at the direction of, or resulting from Legal Requirements, or interpretations thereof, promulgated by any Governmental Authority, or (v) imposed as a license or other fee,
charge, tax, or assessment on Landlord’s business or occupation of leasing space in the Project. Landlord may contest by appropriate legal proceedings the amount, validity, or application of any Taxes or liens securing Taxes. Taxes shall not
include any net income taxes imposed on Landlord except to the extent such net income taxes are in substitution for any Taxes payable hereunder. If any such Tax is levied or assessed directly against Tenant, then Tenant shall be responsible for and
shall pay the same at such times and in such manner as the taxing authority shall require. Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, any and all Taxes levied or assessed against any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises,
whether levied or assessed against Landlord or Tenant. If any Taxes on Tenant’s personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property, or if the assessed valuation of the Project is increased by a value
attributable to improvements in or alterations to the Premises, whether owned by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, higher than the base valuation on which Landlord from time-to-time
allocates Taxes to all tenants in the Project, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such Taxes. Landlord’s determination of any excess assessed valuation shall be binding and conclusive, absent manifest error. The
amount of any such payment by Landlord shall constitute Additional Rent due from Tenant to Landlord immediately upon demand. 
 10.
Parking. Subject to all matters of record, Force Majeure, a Taking (as defined in Section 19 below) and the exercise by Landlord of its rights hereunder, Tenant shall have the right, in common with other tenants of the Project pro rata
in accordance with the rentable area of the Premises and the rentable areas of the Project occupied by such other tenants, to park in those areas designated for non-reserved parking, subject in each case to Landlord’s rules and regulations, at
no additional cost to Tenant during the Base Term. Tenant’s pro rata use of parking spaces in the Project during the Term shall be equal to 3 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord may allocate parking spaces
among Tenant and other tenants in the Project as described above if Landlord determines that such parking facilities are becoming crowded. Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing Tenant’s parking rights against any third parties,
including other tenants of the Project.

 11. Utilities, Services. Landlord shall provide, subject to the terms of this
Section 11, water, electricity, heat, light, power, sewer, and other utilities (including gas and fire sprinklers to the extent the Project is plumbed for such services), refuse and trash collection and janitorial services (collectively,
“Utilities”). Landlord shall pay, as Operating Expenses (except to the extent the cost thereof is excluded from Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 5 hereof) or subject to Tenant’s reimbursement obligation, for all
Utilities used on the Premises, ail maintenance charges for Utilities, and any storm sewer charges or other similar charges for Utilities imposed by any Governmental Authority or Utility provider, and any taxes, penalties, surcharges or similar
charges thereon. Landlord may cause, at Tenant’s expense, any Utilities to be separately metered or charged directly to Tenant by the provider. Tenant shall pay directly to the Utility provider, prior to delinquency, any separately metered
Utilities and services which may be furnished to Tenant or the Premises during the Term. Tenant shall pay, as part of Operating Expenses, its share of all charges for jointly metered Utilities based upon consumption, as reasonably determined by
Landlord. No interruption or failure of Utilities, from any cause whatsoever other than Landlord’s willful misconduct, shall result in eviction or constructive eviction of Tenant, termination of this Lease or the abatement of Rent. Tenant
agrees to limit use of water and sewer with respect to Common Areas to normal restroom use. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining and paying for its own janitorial services for the Premises. 

Landlord’s sole obligation for either providing emergency generators or providing emergency back-up power to Tenant shall be: (i) to
provide emergency generators with not less than the capacity of the emergency generators located in the Building as of the Commencement Date, and (ii) to contract with a third party to maintain the emergency generators as per the
manufacturer’s standard maintenance guidelines. Landlord shall make the service contract and maintenance records (including Landlord’s monthly maintenance records) and permits for the generators reasonably available to Tenant for
Tenant’s review upon Tenant’s prior written request. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with operational emergency generators or back-up power or to supervise, oversee or confirm that the third party maintaining the
emergency generators is maintaining the generators as per the manufacturer’s standard guidelines or otherwise. During any period of replacement, repair or maintenance of the emergency generators when the emergency generators are not
operational, including any delays thereto due to the inability to obtain parts or replacement equipment, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with an alternative back-up generator or generators or alternative sources of back-up power.
Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord does not guaranty that such emergency generators will be operational at all times or that emergency power will be available to the Premises when needed. 

12. Alterations and Tenant’s Property. Any alterations, additions, or improvements made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant
after the Commencement Date, including additional locks or bolts of any kind or nature upon any doors or windows in the Premises, but excluding installation, removal or realignment of furniture systems (other than removal of furniture systems owned
or paid for by Landlord) not involving any modifications to the structure or connections (other then by ordinary plugs or jacks) to Building Systems (as defined in Section 13) (“Alterations”) shall be subject to
Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion if any such Alteration affects the structure or Building Systems and shall not be otherwise unreasonably withheld. If Landlord approves any
Alterations, Landlord may impose such conditions on Tenant in connection with the commencement, performance and completion of such Alterations as Landlord may deem appropriate in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Any request for approval
shall be in writing, delivered not less than 15 business days in advance of any proposed construction, and accompanied by plans, specifications, bid proposals, work contracts and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the
alterations as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, including the identities and mailing addresses of all persons performing work or supplying materials. Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall
be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to ensure that such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall cause, at its sole cost and expense, all Alterations to comply with
insurance requirements and with Legal Requirements and shall implement at its sole cost and expense any alteration or modification required by Legal Requirements as a result of any Alterations. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, on
demand an amount equal to Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for plan review, coordination,

scheduling and supervision in connection with any Alterations. Before Tenant begins any Alteration, Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to
applicable law. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for, and indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from, any expense incurred by Landlord by reason of faulty work done by Tenant or its contractors in connection with the Alterations, delays caused by such
faulty work, or inadequate cleanup in connection with the Alterations. 
 Tenant shall furnish security or make other arrangements
satisfactory to Landlord to assure payment for the completion of all Alterations work free and clear of liens, and shall provide (and cause each contractor or subcontractor to provide) certificates of insurance for workers’ compensation and
other coverage in amounts and from an insurance company satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord against liability for personal injury or property damage during construction. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord:
(i) sworn statements setting forth the names of all contractors and subcontractors who did the work and final lien waivers from all such contractors and subcontractors; and (ii) “as built” plans for any such Alteration. 

Except for Removable Installations (as hereinafter defined), all Installations (as hereinafter defined) shall be and shall remain the property
of Landlord during the Term and following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, shall not be removed by Tenant at any time during the Term, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Landlord may, at the time its approval of any such Installation is requested, notify Tenant that Landlord requires that Tenant remove such Installation upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, in which event Tenant
shall remove such Installation in accordance with the immediately succeeding sentence. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall remove (i) all wires, cables or similar equipment which Tenant has installed in the
Premises or in the risers or plenums of the Building, (ii) any Installations for which Landlord has given Tenant notice of removal in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and (iii) all of Tenant’s Property (as
hereinafter defined), and Tenant shall restore and repair any damage caused by or occasioned as a result of such removal, including, without limitation, capping off all such connections behind the walls of the Premises and repairing any holes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant delivers a written request to Landlord prior to the date that is 60 days prior to the expiration date of this Lease or, if applicable, the Early Termination Date, Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole and
absolute discretion, waive the requirement that Tenant remove the items listed in sub-section (i) of the immediately preceding sentence at the expiration of the Term. During any restoration period beyond the expiration or earlier termination of
the Term, Tenant shall pay Rent to Landlord as provided herein as if said space were otherwise occupied by Tenant. If Landlord is requested by Tenant or any lender, lessor or other person or entity claiming an interest in any of Tenant’s
Property to waive any lien Landlord may have against any of Tenant’s Property, and Landlord consents to such waiver, then Landlord shall be entitled to be paid as administrative rent a fee of $1,000 per occurrence for its time and effort in
preparing and negotiating such a waiver of lien. 
 For purposes of this Lease, (x) “Removable Installations” means
any items listed on Exhibit F attached hereto and any items agreed by Landlord in writing to be included on Exhibit F in the future, (y) “Tenant’s Property” means Removable Installations and, other than Installations, any
personal property or equipment of Tenant that may be removed without material damage to the Premises, and (z) “Installations” means all property of any kind paid for by Landlord, all Alterations, all fixtures, and all
partitions, hardware, built-in machinery, built-in casework and cabinets and other similar additions, equipment, property and improvements built into the Premises so as to become an integral part of the Premises, including, without limitation, fume
hoods which penetrate the roof or plenum area, built-in cold rooms, built-in warm rooms, walk-in cold rooms, walk-in warm rooms, deionized water systems, glass washing equipment, autoclaves, chillers, built-in plumbing, electrical and mechanical
equipment and systems, and any power generator and transfer switch. 
 13. Landlord’s Repairs. Landlord, as an Operating Expense
(except to the extent the cost thereof is excluded from Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 5 hereof), shall maintain all of the structural, exterior, parking and other Common Areas of the Project, including HVAC, plumbing, fire sprinklers,
elevators and all other building systems serving the Premises and other portions of the Project (“Building Systems”), in good repair, reasonable wear and tear and uninsured losses and damages

caused by Tenant, or by any of Tenant’s agents, servants, employees, invitees and contractors (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) excluded. Losses and damages caused by Tenant
or any Tenant Party shall be repaired by Landlord, to the extent not covered by insurance, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord reserves the right to stop Building Systems services when necessary (i) by reason of accident or
emergency, or (ii) for planned repairs, alterations or improvements, which are, in the judgment of Landlord, desirable or necessary to be made, until said repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed. Landlord shall have no
responsibility or liability for failure to supply Building Systems services during any such period of interruption; provided, however, that Landlord shall, except in case of emergency, make a commercially reasonable effort to give
Tenant 24 hours advance notice of any planned stoppage of Building Systems services for routine maintenance, repairs, alterations or improvements. Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this
Section, after which Landlord shall make a commercially reasonable effort to effect such repair. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable
time after Tenant’s written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance. Tenant waives its rights under any state or local law to terminate this Lease or to make such repairs at Landlord’s expense and agrees that the parties’
respective rights with respect to such matters shall be solely as set forth herein. Repairs required as the result of fire, earthquake, flood, vandalism, war, or similar cause of damage or destruction shall be controlled by Section 18.

 14. Tenant’s Repairs. Subject to Section 13 hereof, Tenant, at its expense, shall repair, replace and maintain in
good condition all portions of the Premises, including, without limitation, entries, doors, ceilings, interior windows, interior walls, and the interior side of demising walls. Such repair and replacement may include capital expenditures and repairs
whose benefit may extend beyond the Term. Should Tenant fail to make any such repair or replacement or fail to maintain the Premises, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of such failure. If Tenant fails to commence cure of such failure within 10 days
of Landlord’s notice, and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, Landlord may perform such work and shall be reimbursed by Tenant within 10 days after demand therefor; provided, however, that if such failure by Tenant creates
or could create an emergency, Landlord may immediately commence cure of such failure and shall thereafter be entitled to recover the costs of such cure from Tenant. Subject to Sections 17 and 18, Tenant shall bear the full uninsured
cost of any repair or replacement to any part of the Project that results from damage caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party and any repair that benefits only the Premises. 

15. Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant shall discharge, by bond or otherwise, any mechanic’s lien filed against the Premises or against
the Project for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant within 10 days after the filing thereof, at Tenant’s sole cost and shall otherwise keep the Premises and the Project free from any liens
arising out of work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant. Should Tenant fail to discharge any lien described herein, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such claim or post a bond or otherwise
provide security to eliminate the lien as a claim against title to the Project and the cost thereof shall be immediately due from Tenant as Additional Rent. If Tenant shall lease or finance the acquisition of office equipment, furnishings, or other
personal property of a removable nature utilized by Tenant in the operation of Tenant’s business, Tenant warrants that any Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statement filed as a matter of public record by any lessor or creditor of Tenant will
upon its face or by exhibit thereto indicate that such Financing Statement is applicable only to removable personal property of Tenant located within the Premises. In no event shall the address of the Project be furnished on the statement without
qualifying language as to applicability of the lien only to removable personal property, located in an identified suite held by Tenant. 

16. Indemnification. Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend, save and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all
Claims for injury or death to persons or damage to property occurring within or about the Premises, arising directly or indirectly out of use or occupancy of the Premises or a breach or default by Tenant in the performance of any of its obligations
hereunder, unless caused solely by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant assumes all risk of damage to, personal property (including, without limitation, loss of records kept
within the Premises). Tenant further waives any and all Claims for injury to

Tenant’s business or loss of income relating to any such damage or destruction of personal property (including, without limitation, any loss of records). Landlord shall not be liable for any
damages arising from any act, omission or neglect of any tenant in the Project or of any other third party. 
 17. Insurance.
Landlord shall maintain all risk property and, if applicable, sprinkler damage insurance covering the full replacement cost of the Project or such lesser coverage amount as Landlord may elect provided such coverage amount is not less than 90%
of such full replacement cost. Landlord shall further procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance with a single loss limit of not less than $2,000,000 for bodily injury and property damage with respect to the Project. Landlord may,
but is not obligated to, maintain such other insurance and additional coverages as it may deem necessary, including, but not limited to, flood, environmental hazard and earthquake, loss or failure of building equipment, errors and omissions, rental
loss during the period of repair or rebuilding, workers’ compensation insurance and fidelity bonds for employees employed to perform services and insurance for any improvements installed by Tenant or which are in addition to the standard
improvements customarily furnished by Landlord without regard to whether or not such are made a part of the Project. All such insurance shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses. The Project may be included in a blanket policy (in which
case the cost of such insurance allocable to the Project will be determined by Landlord based upon the insurer’s cost calculations). Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for any increased premiums or additional insurance which Landlord
reasonably deems necessary as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises. 
 Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain during
the Term: all risk property insurance with business interruption and extra expense coverage, covering the full replacement cost of all property and improvements installed or placed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant’s expense; workers’
compensation insurance with no less than the minimum limits required by law; employer’s liability insurance with such limits as required by law; and commercial general liability insurance, with a minimum limit of not less than $2,000,000 per
occurrence for bodily injury and property damage with respect to the Premises which coverage amount may be satisfied through a combination of primary and umbrella policies. The commercial general liability insurance policy and umbrella policies
shall name Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., and Landlord, its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors (collectively, “Landlord Parties”), as additional insureds; insure on an occurrence and
not a claims-made basis; be issued by insurance companies which have a rating of not less than policyholder rating of A and financial category rating of at least Class X in “Best’s Insurance Guide”; shall not be cancelable for
nonpayment of premium unless 30 days prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord from the insurer; contain a hostile fire endorsement and a contractual liability endorsement; and provide primary coverage to Landlord (any policy issued to
Landlord providing duplicate or similar coverage shall be deemed excess over Tenant’s policies). Copies of such policies (if requested by Landlord), or certificates of insurance showing the limits of coverage required hereunder and showing
Landlord as an additional insured, along with reasonable evidence of the payment of premiums for the applicable period, shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant upon commencement of the Term and upon each renewal of said insurance. Tenant’s
policy may be a “blanket policy” with an aggregate per location endorsement which specifically provides that the amount of insurance shall not be prejudiced by other losses covered by the policy. Tenant shall, at least 5 days prior to the
expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewal certificates. 
 In each instance where insurance is to name Landlord as an
additional insured, Tenant shall upon written request of Landlord also designate and furnish certificates so evidencing Landlord as additional insured to: (i) any lender of Landlord holding a security interest in the Project or any portion
thereof, (ii) the landlord under any lease wherein Landlord is tenant of the real property on which the Project is located, if the interest of Landlord is or shall become that of a tenant under a ground or other underlying lease rather than
that of a fee owner, and/or (iii) any management company retained by Landlord to manage the Project. 
 The property insurance obtained
by Landlord and Tenant shall include a waiver of subrogation by the insurers and all rights based upon an assignment from its insured, against Landlord or Tenant, and their respective officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and
contractors (“Related

Parties”), in connection with any loss or damage thereby insured against. Neither party nor its respective Related Parties shall be liable to the other for loss or damage caused by
any risk insured against under property insurance required to be maintained hereunder, and each party waives any claims against the other party, and its respective Related Parties, for such loss or damage. The failure of a party to insure its
property shall not void this waiver. Landlord and its respective Related Parties shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against such parties for, business interruption and losses occasioned thereby sustained by Tenant or any
person claiming through Tenant resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises or the Project from any cause whatsoever. If the foregoing waivers shall contravene any law with respect to exculpatory agreements, the liability of
Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed not released but shall be secondary to the other’s insurer. 
 Landlord may require insurance policy
limits to be raised to conform with requirements of Landlord’s lender and/or to bring coverage limits to levels then being generally required of new tenants within the Project. 

18. Restoration. If, at any time during the Term, the Project or the Premises are damaged or destroyed by a fire or other insured
casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant within 60 days after discovery of such damage as to the amount of time Landlord reasonably estimates it will take to restore the Project or the Premises, as applicable (the “Restoration
Period”). If the Restoration Period is estimated to exceed 8 months after the discovery of the damage (the “Maximum Restoration Period”), Landlord may, in such notice, elect to terminate this Lease as of the date that is 75
days after the date of discovery of such damage or destruction; provided, however, that notwithstanding Landlord’s election to restore, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord delivered within 5 business
days of receipt of a notice from Landlord estimating a Restoration Period for the Premises longer than the Maximum Restoration Period. Unless either Landlord or Tenant so elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall, subject to receipt of
sufficient insurance proceeds (with any deductible to be treated as a current Operating Expense), promptly restore the Premises (excluding the improvements installed by Tenant or by Landlord and paid for by Tenant), subject to delays arising from
the collection of insurance proceeds, from Force Majeure events or as needed for Tenant to obtain any license, clearance or other authorization of any kind required by Legal Requirements to be obtained by Tenant for Landlord to enter into and
restore the Premises issued by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release, disposal, removal or remediation of Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 30) in, on or
about the Premises (collectively referred to herein as “Hazardous Materials Clearances”); provided, however, that if repair or restoration of the Premises is not substantially complete as of the end of the Maximum
Restoration Period or, if longer, the Restoration Period, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to proceed with such repair and restoration, or Tenant may by written notice to Landlord delivered within 5 business days of the
expiration of the Maximum Restoration Period or, if longer, the Restoration Period, elect to terminate this Lease, in which event Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to make such repairs or restoration and this Lease shall terminate as of
the date that is 75 days after the later of: (i) discovery of such damage or destruction, or (ii) the date all required Hazardous Materials Clearances are obtained, but Landlord shall retain any Rent paid and the right to any Rent payable
by Tenant prior to such election by Landlord or Tenant. 
 If this Lease is not terminated by Landlord or Tenant pursuant to the immediately
preceding paragraph, Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly perform, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, from Force Majeure (as defined in Section 34) events or to obtain Hazardous Material Clearances,
all repairs or restoration not required to be done by Landlord and shall promptly re-enter the Premises and commence doing business in accordance with this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may terminate this Lease if the Premises are
damaged during the last 1 year of the Term and Landlord reasonably estimates that it will take more than 2 months to repair such damage, or if insurance proceeds are not available for such restoration. Rent shall be abated from the date all required
Hazardous Material Clearances are obtained until the Premises are repaired and restored, in the proportion which the area of the Premises, if any, which is not usable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises, unless Landlord provides Tenant
with other space during the period of repair that is suitable for the temporary conduct of Tenant’s business. Such abatement shall be the sole remedy of

Tenant, and except as provided in this Section 18, Tenant waives any right to terminate the Lease by reason of damage or casualty loss. 

The provisions of this Lease, including this Section 18, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect
to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, or any other portion of the Project, and any statute or regulation which is now or may hereafter be in effect shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or
destruction to all or any part of the Premises or any other portion of the Project, the parties hereto expressly agreeing that this Section 18 sets forth their entire understanding and agreement with respect to such matters. 

19. Condemnation. If the whole or any material part of the Premises or the Project is taken for any public or quasi-public use under
governmental law, ordinance, or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking” or “Taken”), and the Taking would, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, materially
interfere with or impair Landlord’s ownership or operation of the Project or would in the reasonable judgment of Landlord and Tenant either prevent or materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises (as resolved, if the parties are
unable to agree, by arbitration by a single arbitrator with the qualifications and experience appropriate to resolve the matter and appointed pursuant to and acting in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association), then upon
written notice by Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, to the other party delivered within 10 business days after such party receives notice of the Taking, this Lease shall terminate and Rent shall be apportioned as of said date. If part of the
Premises shall be Taken, and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises and the Project as nearly as is commercially reasonable under the circumstances to their condition prior to such partial Taking
and the rentable square footage of the Building, the rentable square footage of the Premises, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and the Rent payable hereunder during the unexpired Term shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and
reasonable under the circumstances. Upon any such Taking, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from any such Taking without any payment to Tenant (except for any portion of such award awarded specifically for Tenant’s
moving expenses or damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures), and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award. Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that same shall not diminish Landlord’s award, to make a
separate claim against the condemning authority (but not Landlord) for such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for moving expenses and damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures, if a separate award for such items is made
to Tenant. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to any provision of state law to terminate this Lease upon a partial Taking of the Premises or the Project. 

20. Events of Default. Each of the following events shall be a default (“Default”) by Tenant under this Lease: 

(a) Payment Defaults. Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Rent or any other payment hereunder when due; provided, however, that
Landlord will give Tenant notice and an opportunity to cure any failure to pay Rent within 3 days of any such notice not more than once in any 12 month period and Tenant agrees that such notice shall be in lieu of and not in addition to, or shall be
deemed to be, any notice required by law. 
 (b) Insurance. Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease
shall be canceled or terminated or shall expire or shall be reduced or materially changed, or Landlord shall receive a notice of nonrenewal of any such insurance and Tenant shall fail to obtain replacement insurance at least 10 days before the
expiration of the current coverage. 
 (c) Abandonment. Tenant shall abandon the Premises for a period in excess of 15 consecutive
business days for any reason other than in connection with Alterations or renovations being performed within the Premises. Tenant shall not be deemed to have abandoned the Premises if (i) Tenant provides Landlord with reasonable advance notice
prior to vacating, (ii) Tenant has made reasonable arrangements with Landlord for the security of the Premises for the balance of the Term, (iii) if

Tenant does not have a then current plan to resume operating with the Premises within a reasonable period, at the time of vacating the Premises, Tenant completes Tenant’s obligations with
respect to the Surrender Plan in compliance with Section 28, and (iv) Tenant continues during the balance of the Term to satisfy all of its obligations under the Lease as they come due. 

(d) Improper Transfer. Tenant shall assign, sublease or otherwise transfer or attempt to transfer all or any portion of Tenant’s
interest in this Lease or the Premises except as expressly permitted herein, or Tenant’s interest in this Lease shall be attached, executed upon, or otherwise judicially seized and such action is not released within 90 days of the action. 

(e) Liens. Tenant shall fail to discharge or otherwise obtain the release of any lien placed upon the Premises in violation of this
Lease within 10 days after any such lien is filed against the Premises. 
 (f) Insolvency Events. Tenant or any guarantor or surety
of Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall: (A) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (B) commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as a debtor or to
adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for
all or of any substantial part of its property (collectively a “Proceeding for Relief); (C) become the subject of any Proceeding for Relief which is not dismissed within 90 days of its filing or entry; or (D) be dissolved or
otherwise fail to maintain its legal existence. 
 (g) Estoppel Certificate or Subordination Agreement. Tenant fails to execute any
document required from Tenant under Sections 23 or 27 within 5 business days after receiving a second notice from Landlord requesting such document. 

(h) Other Defaults. Tenant shall fail to comply with any provision of this Lease other than those specifically referred to in this
Section 20, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant. 

Any notice given under Section 20(h) hereof shall: (i) specify the alleged default, (ii) demand that Tenant cure such default,
(iii) be in lieu of, and not in addition to, or shall be deemed to be, any notice required under any provision of applicable law, and (iv) not be deemed a forfeiture or a termination of this Lease unless Landlord elects otherwise in such
notice; provided that if the nature of Tenant’s default pursuant to Section 20(h) is such that it cannot be cured by the payment of money and reasonably requires more than 30 days to cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to
be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said 30 day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion; provided, however, that such cure shall be completed no later than 90 days from the date of
Landlord’s notice. 
 21. Landlord’s Remedies. 

(a) Payment By Landlord; Interest. Upon a Default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing any obligation of
Tenant hereunder, make such payment or perform such act which is the subject of Tenant’s Default. All sums so paid or incurred by Landlord, together with interest thereon, from the date such sums were paid or incurred, at the annual rate equal
to 12% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law (the “Default Rate”), whichever is less, shall be payable to Landlord on demand as Additional Rent. Nothing herein shall be construed to create or impose a duty on Landlord
to mitigate any damages resulting from Tenant’s Default hereunder. 
 (b) Late Payment Rent. Late payment by Tenant to Landlord
of Rent and other sums due will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting
charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord under any Mortgage covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord

17

  

 
within 5 days after the date such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to 6% of the overdue Rent as a late charge. The parties agree that this late charge
represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. In addition to the late charge, Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the 5th day after the date due until
paid. 
 (c) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord, at its option, without further notice or demand to Tenant, shall
have in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, at law or in equity, the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand
whatsoever. 
 (i) Terminate this Lease, or at Landlord’s option, Tenant’s right to possession only, in which event
Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and
expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; 

(ii) Upon any termination of this Lease, whether pursuant to the foregoing Section 21(c)(i) or otherwise, Landlord
may recover from Tenant the following: 
 (A) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the
time of such termination; plus 
 (B) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have
been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus 

(C) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award
exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus 
 (D) Any other amount
necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including, but
not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant;
and 
 (E) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted
from time to time by applicable law. 
 The term “rent” as used in this Section 21 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums
of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Sections 21(c)(ii)(A) and (B), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed
by allowing interest at the Default Rate. As used in Section 21(c)(ii)(C) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco at the time of award plus 1%. 
 (iii) Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s Default and
recover rent as it becomes due (Landlord and Tenant hereby agreeing that Tenant has the right to sublet or assign hereunder, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease following a Default
by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time,

18

  

 
without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies hereunder, including the right to recover all Rent as it becomes due. 

(iv) Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease following a Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to
terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Tenant’s interest in such subleases,
licenses, concessions or arrangements. Upon Landlord’s election to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no
further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder. 
 (v) Independent of the exercise of
any other remedy of Landlord hereunder or under applicable law, Landlord may conduct an environmental test of the Premises as generally described in Section 30(d) hereof, at Tenant’s expense. 

(d) Effect of Exercise. Exercise by Landlord of any remedies hereunder or otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance
of surrender of the Premises and/or a termination of this Lease by Landlord, it being understood that such surrender and/or termination can be effected only by the express written agreement of Landlord and Tenant. Any law, usage, or custom to the
contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Lease in strict accordance with the terms hereof; and the failure of Landlord at any time to enforce its rights under this Lease strictly in
accordance with same shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific terms, provisions, and covenants of this Lease or as having modified the same and shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s
right to enforce one or more of its rights in connection with any subsequent default. A receipt by Landlord of Rent or other payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by
Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. To the greatest extent permitted by law, Tenant waives the service of notice of Landlord’s intention to re-enter,
re-take or otherwise obtain possession of the Premises as provided in any statute, or to institute legal proceedings to that end, and also waives all right of redemption in case Tenant shall be dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court
or judge. Any reletting of the Premises or any portion thereof shall be on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine. Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished
because of, Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises or collect rent due in respect of such reletting or otherwise to mitigate any damages arising by reason of Tenant’s Default. 

22. Assignment and Subletting. 

(a) General Prohibition. Without Landlord’s prior written consent subject to and on the conditions described in this
Section 22 (including, without limitation, Section 22(b) below), Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or by operation of law, assign this Lease or sublease the Premises or any part thereof or mortgage,
pledge, or hypothecate its leasehold interest or grant any concession or license within the Premises, and any attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be void and of no effect. If Tenant is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company,
the shares or other ownership interests thereof which are not actively traded upon a stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market, a transfer or series of transfers whereby 49% or more of the issued and outstanding shares or other ownership
interests of such corporation are, or voting control is, transferred (but excepting transfers upon deaths of individual owners) from a person or persons or entity or entities which were owners thereof at time of execution of this Lease to persons or
entities who were not owners of shares or other ownership interests of the corporation, partnership or limited liability company at time of execution of this Lease, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease requiring the consent of Landlord as
provided in this Section 22. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to obtain financing from institutional investors (including, without limitation, venture capital funding, convertible debt, corporate partners or
other private equity facilities) or undergo a public offering which results in a change in control of Tenant without such

change of control constituting an assignment under this Section 22 requiring Landlord consent, provided that (i) Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of the financing at least 5
business days prior to the closing of the financing, and (ii) provided that in no event shall such financing result in a change in use of the Premises from the use contemplated by Tenant at the commencement of the Term. 

(b) Permitted Transfers. If Tenant desires to assign, sublease, hypothecate or otherwise transfer this Lease or sublet the Premises
other than pursuant to a Permitted Assignment (as defined below), then at least 10 business days, but not more than 45 business days, before the date Tenant desires the assignment or sublease to be effective (the “Assignment Date”),
Tenant shall give Landlord a notice (the “Assignment Notice”) containing such information about the proposed assignee or sublessee, including the proposed use of the Premises and any Hazardous Materials proposed to be used, stored
handled, treated, generated in or released or disposed of from the Premises, the Assignment Date, any relationship between Tenant and the proposed assignee or sublessee, and all material terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease,
including a copy of any proposed assignment or sublease in its final form, and such other information as Landlord may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to its consideration whether to grant its consent. Landlord may, by giving written notice
to Tenant within 10 business days after receipt of the Assignment Notice: (i) grant such consent, (ii) refuse such consent, in its sole and absolute discretion, if the proposed assignment, hypothecation or other transfer or subletting
concerns more than (together with all other then effective subleases) 50% of the Premises, (iii) refuse such consent, in its reasonable discretion, if the proposed subletting concerns (together with all other then effective subleases) 50% or
less of the Premises (provided that Landlord shall further have the right to review and approve or disapprove the proposed form of sublease prior to the effective date of any such subletting), or (iv) terminate this Lease with respect to the
space described in the Assignment Notice as of the Assignment Date (an “Assignment Termination”). If Landlord delivers notice of its election to exercise an Assignment Termination, Tenant shall have the right to withdraw such
Assignment Notice by written notice to Landlord of such election within 5 business days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice electing to exercise the Assignment Termination. If Tenant withdraws such Assignment Notice, this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect. If Tenant does not withdraw such Assignment Notice, this Lease, and the term and estate herein granted, shall terminate as of the Assignment Date with respect to the space described in such Assignment Notice.
No failure of Landlord to exercise any such option to terminate this Lease, or to deliver a timely notice in response to the Assignment Notice, shall be deemed to be Landlord’s consent to the proposed assignment, sublease or other transfer.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee equal to One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500) in connection with its consideration of any Assignment Notice and/or its preparation or review of any consent documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord’s consent to an assignment of this Lease or a subletting of any portion of the Premises to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant (a “Control Permitted Assignment”) shall not be
required, provided that Landlord shall have the right to approve the form of any such sublease or assignment. In addition, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease, upon 30 days prior written notice to Landlord but without obtaining
Landlord’s prior written consent, to a corporation or other entity which is a successor-in-interest to Tenant, by way of merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization, or by the purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or the
ownership interests of Tenant provided that (i) such merger or consolidation, or such acquisition or assumption, as the case may be, is for a good business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring the Lease, and (ii) the
net worth (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)) of the assignee is not less than the net worth (as determined in accordance with GAAP) of Tenant as of the Commencement Date, and
(iii) such assignee shall agree in writing to assume all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease arising after the effective date of the assignment (a “Corporate Permitted Assignment”). Control Permitted
Assignments and Corporate Permitted Assignments are hereinafter referred to as “Permitted Assignments.” 
 (c)
Additional Conditions. As a condition to any such assignment or subletting, whether or not Landlord’s consent is required, Landlord may require: 

(i) that any assignee or subtenant agree, in writing at the time of such assignment or subletting, that if Landlord gives such
party notice that Tenant is in default under this Lease,

such party shall thereafter make all payments otherwise due Tenant directly to Landlord, which payments will be received by Landlord without any liability except to credit such payment against
those due under the Lease, and any such third party shall agree to attorn to Landlord or its successors and assigns should this Lease be terminated for any reason; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord or its successors or
assigns be obligated to accept such attornment; and 
 (ii) A list of Hazardous Materials, certified by the proposed assignee
or sublessee to be true and correct, which the proposed assignee or sublessee intends to use, store, handle, treat, generate in or release or dispose of from the Premises, together with copies of all documents relating to such use, storage,
handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials by the proposed assignee or subtenant in the Premises or on the Project, prior to the proposed assignment or subletting, including, without limitation: permits; approvals;
reports and correspondence; storage and management plans; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in or under the Project (provided, said installation of tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given its
written consent to do so, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion); and all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all federal, state and local Governmental Authorities for any storage tanks
installed in, on or under the Project for the closure of any such tanks. Neither Tenant nor any such proposed assignee or subtenant is required, however, to provide Landlord with any portion(s) of the such documents containing information of a
proprietary nature which, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or hazardous activities. 
 (d) No
Release of Tenant, Sharing of Excess Rents. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant shall at all times remain fully and primarily responsible and liable for the payment of Rent and for compliance with all of Tenant’s other
obligations under this Lease. If the Rent due and payable by a sublessee or assignee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease or assignment plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto in any form) exceeds
the rental payable under this Lease, (excluding however, any Rent payable under this Section) (“Excess Rent”), then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder 50% of such Excess Rent within 10
days following receipt thereof by Tenant. If Tenant shall sublet the Premises or any part thereof, Tenant hereby immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all rent from any such
subletting, and Landlord as assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord’s application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; except that, so long as
no Default has occurred, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent. 
 (e) No Waiver. The consent by Landlord to an assignment
or subletting shall not relieve Tenant or any assignees of this Lease or any sublessees of the Premises from obtaining the consent of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting nor shall it release Tenant or any assignee or sublessee of Tenant
from full and primary liability under the Lease. The acceptance of Rent hereunder, or the acceptance of performance of any other term, covenant, or condition thereof, from any other person or entity shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the
provisions of this Lease or a consent to any subletting, assignment or other transfer of the Premises. 
 (f) Prior Conduct of Proposed
Transferee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 22. if (i) the proposed assignee or sublessee of Tenant has been required by any prior landlord, lender or Governmental Authority to take remedial action in
connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating a property, where the contamination resulted from such party’s action or use of the property in question, (ii) the proposed assignee or sublessee is subject to an enforcement order 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), or (iii) because of the existence of a pre-existing environmental condition in the vicinity of or underlying the Project, the risk that Landlord would be targeted as a responsible party in connection with the
remediation of such pre-existing environmental condition would be materially increased or exacerbated by the proposed use of Hazardous Materials by

such proposed assignee or sublessee, Landlord shall have the absolute right to refuse to consent to any assignment or subletting to any such party. 

23. Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall, within 10 business days of written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver a
statement in writing in any form reasonably requested by a proposed lender or purchaser, (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that
this Lease as so modified is in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (ii) acknowledging that there are not any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying
such defaults if any are claimed, and (iii) setting forth such further information with respect to the status of this Lease or the Premises as may be reasonably requested thereon. Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective
purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the real property of which the Premises are a part. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within 5 business days after Tenant’s receipt of a second notice from Landlord shall be
conclusive upon Tenant that the Lease is in full force and effect and without modification except as may be represented by Landlord in any certificate prepared by Landlord and delivered to Tenant for execution. 

24. Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant is not in Default under this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the terms of this Lease, at all
times during the Term, have peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the Premises against any person claiming by, through or under Landlord. 
 25.
Prorations. All prorations required or permitted to be made hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and 30 day months. 

26. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall, at all times during the Term and any extension thereof, comply with all reasonable rules and
regulations at any time or from time to time established by Landlord covering use of the Premises and the Project. The current rules and regulations are attached hereto as Exhibit E. If there is any conflict between said rules and regulations
and other provisions of this Lease, the terms and provisions of this Lease shall control. Landlord shall not have any liability or obligation for the breach of any rules or regulations by other tenants in the Project and shall not enforce such rules
and regulations in a discriminatory manner. 
 27. Subordination. This Lease and Tenant’s interest and rights hereunder are
hereby made and shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any Mortgage now existing or hereafter created on or against the Project or the Premises, and all amendments, restatements, renewals, modifications, consolidations,
refinancing, assignments and extensions thereof, without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant; provided, however that so long as there is no Default hereunder, Tenant’s right to possession of the
Premises shall not be disturbed by the Holder of any such Mortgage. Tenant agrees, at the election of the Holder of any such Mortgage, to attorn to any such Holder. Tenant agrees upon demand to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments,
confirming such subordination, and such instruments of attornment as shall be requested by any such Holder, provided any such instruments contain appropriate non-disturbance provisions assuring Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the Premises as set
forth in Section 24 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Holder may at any time subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed
prior to such Mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery or recording and in that event such Holder shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed prior to the execution,
delivery and recording of such Mortgage and had been assigned to such Holder. The term “Mortgage” whenever used in this Lease shall be deemed to include deeds of trust, security assignments and any other encumbrances, and any
reference to the “Holder” of a Mortgage shall be deemed to include the beneficiary under a deed of trust. 
 28.
Surrender. Upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of Tenant’s right of possession, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as received, subject to any Alterations or Installations permitted
by Landlord to remain in the Premises, free of Hazardous

Materials brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in, or released or disposed of from, the Premises by any person other than a Landlord Party (collectively, “Tenant
HazMat Operations”) and released of all Hazardous Materials Clearances, broom clean, ordinary wear and tear and casualty loss and condemnation covered by Sections 18 and 19 excepted. At least 3 months prior to the
surrender of the Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a narrative description of the actions proposed (or required by any Governmental Authority) to be taken by Tenant in order to surrender the Premises (including any Installations permitted
by Landlord to remain in the Premises) at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, free from any residual impact from the Tenant HazMat Operations and otherwise released for unrestricted use and occupancy (the “Surrender
Plan”). Such Surrender Plan shall be accompanied by a current listing of (i) all Hazardous Materials licenses and permits held by or on behalf of any Tenant Party with respect to the Premises, and (ii) all Hazardous Materials
used, stored, handled, treated, generated, released or disposed of from the Premises, and shall be subject to the review and approval of Landlord’s environmental consultant. In connection with the review and approval of the Surrender Plan, upon
the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such additional non-proprietary information concerning Tenant HazMat Operations as Landlord shall request. On or before such surrender, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
evidence that the approved Surrender Plan shall have been satisfactorily completed and Landlord shall have the right, subject to reimbursement at Tenant’s expense as set forth below, to cause Landlord’s environmental consultant to inspect
the Premises and perform such additional procedures as may be deemed reasonably necessary to confirm that the Premises are, as of the effective date of such surrender or early termination of the Lease, free from any residual impact from Tenant
HazMat Operations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for the actual out-of pocket expense incurred by Landlord for Landlord’s environmental consultant to review and approve the Surrender Plan and to visit the Premises and
verify satisfactory completion of the same, which cost shall not exceed $2,500. Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to deliver such Surrender Plan and any report by Landlord’s environmental consultant with respect to the surrender of the
Premises to third parties. 
 If Tenant shall fail to prepare or submit a Surrender Plan approved by Landlord, or if Tenant shall fail to
complete the approved Surrender Plan, or if such Surrender Plan, whether or not approved by Landlord, shall fail to adequately address any residual effect of Tenant HazMat Operations in, on or about the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to
take such actions as Landlord may deem reasonable or appropriate to assure that the Premises and the Project are surrendered free from any residual impact from Tenant HazMat Operations, the cost of which actions shall be reimbursed by Tenant as
Additional Rent, without regard to the limitation set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 28. 
 Tenant shall
immediately return to Landlord all keys and/or access cards to parking, the Project, restrooms or all or any portion of the Premises furnished to or otherwise procured by Tenant. If any such access card or key is lost, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
at Landlord’s election, either the cost of replacing such lost access card or key or the cost of reprogramming the access security system in which such access card was used or changing the lock or locks opened by such lost key. Any
Tenant’s Property, Alterations and property not so removed by Tenant as permitted or required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be stored, removed, and disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant waives all claims
against Landlord for any damages resulting from Landlord’s retention and/or disposition of such property. All obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed as of the termination of the Term, including the obligations of Tenant under
Section 30 hereof, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, including, without limitation, indemnity obligations, payment obligations with respect to Rent and obligations concerning the condition and repair of the
Premises. 
 29. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TENANT AND LANDLORD WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO
HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT, OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR
THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO.

 30. Environmental Requirements. 

(a) Prohibition/Compliance/Indemnity. Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined) to be brought
upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in or about, or released or disposed of from, the Premises or the Project in violation of applicable Environmental Requirements (as hereinafter defined) by Tenant or any Tenant Party. If Tenant
breaches the obligation stated in the preceding sentence, or if the presence of Hazardous Materials in the Premises during the Term or any holding over results in contamination of the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property or if
contamination of the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property 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 otherwise occurs during the Term or any holding over, 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 Project, or the loss of, or restriction on, use of the Premises or any portion of the Project), 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 during or after the Term as a
result of such contamination. This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, treatment, remedial, 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, the Building, the Project or any adjacent property caused or permitted by Tenant or any Tenant Party results in any contamination of the Premises, the Building, the Project 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, the Building, the Project 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 unreasonably be withheld so long as such actions would not potentially have any material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the Premises, the
Building or the Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 30, Tenant shall not be responsible for, and the indemnification and hold harmless obligation set forth in this paragraph shall not apply to
contamination in the Premises which Tenant can prove to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction existed in the Premises immediately prior to the Commencement Date, except to the extent Tenant and/or the Tenant Parties have exacerbated or contributed
to such contamination. 
 (b) Business. Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Section 30 to prohibit
Tenant from using the Premises for the Permitted Use. 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 then applicable
Environmental Requirements. As a material inducement to Landlord to allow Tenant to use Hazardous Materials in connection with its business, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date a list identifying each type of
Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated on, or released or disposed of from, the Premises and setting forth any and all governmental approvals or permits required in connection with the presence, use,
storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of such Hazardous Materials on or from the Premises (“Hazardous Materials List”). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an updated list at any additional time that Tenant is
required to deliver a Hazardous Materials List to any Governmental Authority (e.g., the fire department) in connection with its use or occupancy of the Premises. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord true and correct copies of the following documents
(the “Haz Mat Documents”) relating to the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials prior to the Commencement Date, or if unavailable at that time, concurrent with the receipt from or
submission to a Governmental Authority: permits; approvals; reports and correspondence; storage and

management plans, notice of violations of any Legal Requirements; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in or under the Project (provided, said installation of
tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given Tenant its written consent to do so, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion); all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all federal,
state and local Governmental Authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on or under the Project for the closure of any such tanks; and a Surrender Plan (to the extent surrender in accordance with Section 28 cannot be accomplished in
3 months). Tenant is not required, however, to provide Landlord with any portion(s) of the Haz Mat Documents containing information of a proprietary nature which, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or
hazardous activities. It is not the intent of this Section to provide Landlord with information which could be detrimental to Tenant’s business should such information become possessed by Tenant’s competitors. 

(c) Tenant Representation and Warranty. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that (i) neither Tenant nor any of its
legal predecessors has been required by any prior landlord, lender or Governmental Authority at any time to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating a property which contamination was permitted by Tenant of such
predecessor or resulted from Tenant’s or such predecessor’s action or use of the property in question, and (ii) Tenant is not subject to any enforcement order 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). If Landlord determines that this representation
and warranty was not true as of the date of this lease, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. 

(d) Testing. Landlord shall have the right to conduct reasonable annual tests of the Premises to determine whether any contamination of
the Premises or the Project has occurred as a result of Tenant’s use. Tenant shall be required to pay the cost of such annual test of the Premises; provided, however, that if Tenant conducts its own tests of the Premises using third party
contractors and test procedures reasonably acceptable to Landlord which tests are certified to Landlord, Landlord shall accept such tests in lieu of the annual tests to be paid for by Tenant. In addition, at any time, and from time to time, prior to
the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Landlord shall have the right to conduct appropriate tests of the Premises and the Project to determine if contamination has occurred as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises. In connection
with such testing, 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 Party. If contamination
has occurred for which Tenant is liable under this Section 30, Tenant shall pay all costs to conduct such tests. If no such contamination is found, Landlord shall pay the costs of such tests (which shall not constitute an Operating
Expense). 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. 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. 
 (e) Control Areas. Tenant shall
be allowed to utilize up to its pro rata share of the Hazardous Materials inventory within any control area or zone (located within the Premises), as designated by the applicable building code, for chemical use or storage. As used in the preceding
sentence, Tenant’s pro rata share of any control areas or zones located within the Premises shall be determined based on the rentable square footage that Tenant leases within the applicable control area or zone. For purposes of example only, if
a control area or zone contains 10,000 rentable square feet and 2,000 rentable square feet of a tenant’s premises are located within such control area or zone (while such premises as a whole contains 5,000 rentable square feet), the applicable
tenant’s pro rata share of such control area would be 20%. 
 (f) Underground Tanks. If underground or other storage tanks
storing Hazardous Materials located on the Premises or the Project are used by Tenant or are hereafter placed on the Premises or the Project by Tenant, Tenant 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 Legal 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 storage tanks. 
 (g) Tenant’s Obligations. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 30 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 the approved Surrender Plan), Tenant shall continue to pay the full Rent in accordance with this Lease
for any portion of the Premises not relet by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion, which Rent shall be prorated daily. 
 (h)
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 Project, 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). 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 Party, and the wastes, by-products,
or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom. 
 31. Tenant’s Remedies/Limitation of Liability. Landlord shall not be
in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within 30 days after written notice from Tenant specifying such failure (unless such performance will, due to the nature of the obligation, require a period of
time in excess of 30 days, then after such period of time as is reasonably necessary). Upon any default by Landlord, Tenant shall give notice by registered or certified mail to any Holder of a Mortgage covering the Premises and to any landlord of
any lease of property in or on which the Premises are located and Tenant shall offer such Holder and/or landlord a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Project by power of sale or a judicial action
if such should prove necessary to effect a cure; provided Landlord shall have furnished to Tenant in writing the names and addresses of all such persons who are to receive such notices. All obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be construed
as covenants, not conditions; and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach of Landlord’s obligations hereunder. 

All obligations of Landlord under this Lease will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Premises and not
thereafter (except for Landlord’s obligations with respect to the transfer of the Security Deposit following a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Project pursuant to Section 6 or obligations that arose during
Landlord’s period of ownership). The term “Landlord” in this Lease shall mean only the owner for the time being of the Premises. Upon the transfer by such owner of its interest in the Premises, such owner shall thereupon be
released and discharged from all obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing, but such obligations shall be binding during the Term upon each new owner for the duration of such owner’s ownership. 

32. Inspection and Access. Landlord and its agents, representatives, and contractors may enter the Premises at any reasonable time to
inspect the Premises and to make such repairs as may be required or permitted pursuant to this Lease and for any other business purpose. Landlord and

Landlord’s representatives may enter the Premises during business hours on not less than 48 hours advance written notice (except in the case of emergencies in which case no such notice shall
be required and such entry may be at any time) for the purpose of effecting any such repairs, inspecting the Premises, showing the Premises to prospective purchasers and, during the last year of the Term, to prospective tenants or for any other
business purpose. Landlord may erect a suitable sign on the Premises stating the Premises are available to let or that the Project is available for sale. Landlord may grant easements, make public dedications, designate Common Areas and create
restrictions on or about the Premises, provided that no such easement, dedication, designation or restriction materially, adversely affects Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use. At Landlord’s request,
Tenant shall execute such instruments as may be necessary for such easements, dedications or restrictions. Tenant shall at all times, except in the case of emergencies, have the right to escort Landlord or its agents, representatives, contractors or
guests while the same are in the Premises, provided such escort does not materially and adversely affect Landlord’s access rights hereunder. 

33. Security. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that security devices and services, if any, while intended to deter crime may not in given
instances prevent theft or other criminal acts and that Landlord is not providing any security services with respect to the Premises. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant waives any claim against Landlord with
respect to, any loss by theft or any other damage suffered or incurred by Tenant in connection with any unauthorized entry into the Premises or any other breach of security with respect to the Premises. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the
personal safety of Tenant’s officers, employees, agents, contractors, guests and invitees while any such person is in, on or about the Premises and/or the Project. Tenant shall at Tenant’s cost obtain insurance coverage to the extent
Tenant desires protection against such criminal acts. 
 34. Force Majeure. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for delays in
the performance of its obligations hereunder when caused by, related to, or arising out of acts of God, sinkholes or subsidence, strikes, lockouts, or other labor disputes, embargoes, quarantines, weather, national, regional, or local disasters,
calamities, or catastrophes, inability to obtain labor or materials (or reasonable substitutes therefor) at reasonable costs or failure of, or inability to obtain, utilities necessary for performance, governmental restrictions, orders, limitations,
regulations, or controls, national emergencies, delay in issuance or revocation of permits, enemy or hostile governmental action, terrorism, insurrection, riots, civil disturbance or commotion, fire or other casualty, and other causes or events
beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (“Force Majeure”). 
 35. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represents and
warrants that it has not dealt with any broker, agent or other person (collectively, “Broker”) in connection with this transaction and that no Broker brought about this transaction, other than Jones Lang LaSalle. Landlord and Tenant
each hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any claims by any Broker, other than the broker, if any named in this Section 35, 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. 
 36. Limitation 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: TENANT’S PERSONAL PROPERTY OF EVERY KIND AND DESCRIPTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION TRADE FIXTURES, 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) 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 PROJECT OR ANY PROCEEDS FROM SALE OR CONDEMNATION THEREOF AND ANY INSURANCE PROCEEDS PAYABLE IN RESPECT OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE PROJECT OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH
LOSS; AND (C) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY BE ASSERTED AGAINST LANDLORD IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE NOR SHALL ANY RECOURSE BE HAD TO ANY OTHER PROPERTY OR ASSETS OF LANDLORD OR 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.

 37. Severability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, then
and in that event, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby. It is also the intention of the parties to this Lease that in lieu of each clause or provision of this Lease that is
illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there be added, as a part of this Lease, a clause or provision as similar in effect to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as shall be legal, valid and enforceable. 

38. Signs; Exterior Appearance. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be granted or withheld in
Landlord’s sole discretion: (i) attach any awnings, exterior lights, decorations, balloons, flags, pennants, banners, painting or other projection to any outside wall of the Project, (ii) use any curtains, blinds, shades or screens
other than Landlord’s standard window coverings, (iii) coat or otherwise sunscreen the interior or exterior of any windows, (iv) place any bottles, parcels, or other articles on the window sills, (v) place any equipment,
furniture or other items of personal property on any exterior balcony, or (vi) paint, affix or exhibit on any part of the Premises or the Project any signs, notices, window or door lettering, placards, decorations, or advertising media of any
type which can be viewed from the exterior of the Premises. Interior signs on doors and the directory tablet shall be inscribed, painted or affixed for Tenant by Landlord at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, and shall be of a size, color and type
acceptable to Landlord. Nothing may be placed on the exterior of corridor walls or corridor doors other than Landlord’s standard lettering. The directory tablet shall be provided exclusively for the display of the name and location of tenants.

 Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to display, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, signage bearing Tenant’s name on the
building top directly above the Premises, in the location shown on Exhibit G (“Building Sign”). Tenant shall also have the non-exclusive right to display, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, signage bearing Tenant’s
name on the monument sign at the Project (“Monument Sign”). Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s signage on the Monument Sign and 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 and in no event shall Tenant be
entitled to more than Tenant’s pro rata share of any such signage. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the maintenance of Tenant’s signage on the Monument Sign and the Building Sign, for the removal of
Tenant’s signage from the Monument Sign and the Building Sign at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and for the repair all damage resulting from such removal. 

39. Right to Expand. 

(a) Right of First Refusal. Subject to the provisions of this Section 39, the first time after the date of this Lease and
prior to the expiration of the Base Term that Landlord intends to accept a written proposal (the “Pending Deal”) to lease all or any portion the First Refusal Space (as hereinafter defined) to a third party, Landlord shall deliver
to Tenant written notice (the “Pending Deal Notice”) of the existence of such Pending Deal; provided, however, Tenant shall have no right to receive a Pending Deal Notice and the provisions of this Section 39(a) shall
not apply during any period following the Commencement Date that Tenant is not then leasing and occupying 100% of the Premises. For purposes of this Section 39(a), “First Refusal Space” shall mean that certain
approximately 15,879 rentable square feet contiguous to the Premises as more particularly shown on Exhibit A, which is not

occupied by a tenant or which is occupied by a then existing tenant whose lease is expiring within 9 months or less and such tenant does not wish to renew (whether or not such tenant has a right
to renew) its occupancy of such space and shall also include any other space being leased by the third party as part of the Pending Deal. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 39(a)
only with respect to the entire First Refusal Space described in such Pending Deal Notice. Within 5 days after Tenant’s receipt of the Pending Deal Notice, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice (the “Space Acceptance
Notice”) if Tenant elects to lease the First Refusal Space. Tenant’s right to receive the Pending Deal Notice and election to lease or not lease the First Refusal Space pursuant to this Section 39(a) is hereinafter referred
to as the “Right of First Refusal.” If Tenant elects to lease the First Refusal Space described in the Pending Deal Notice by delivering the Space Acceptance Notice within the required 5 day period, Tenant shall be deemed to agree
to lease the First Refusal Space on the same general terms and conditions as this Lease except that the terms of this Lease shall be modified to reflect the terms of the Pending Deal Notice for the rental of the First Refusal Space. Tenant
acknowledges that the term of the Lease with respect to the First Refusal Space and the Term of the Lease with respect to the original Premises may not be co-terminous. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the
Work Letter apply to the First Refusal Space. If Tenant fails to deliver a Space Acceptance Notice to Landlord within the required 5 day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 39(a) to lease the First
Refusal Space, and Landlord shall have the right to lease the First Refusal Space to any third party on any terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord. 

(b) Amended Lease. If: (i) Tenant fails to timely deliver a Space Acceptance Notice, or (ii) after the expiration of a period
of 10 business days after Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a lease amendment or lease agreement for Tenant’s lease of the First Refusal Space, no lease amendment or lease agreement for the First Refusal Space, acceptable to both parties
each in their sole and absolute discretion, has been executed, Tenant shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, be deemed to have forever waived its right to lease such First Refusal Space. 

(c) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, the Right of First Refusal shall, at Landlord’s option, not be in effect and may not be
exercised by Tenant: 
 (i) during any period of time that Tenant is in Default under any provision of the Lease; or 

(ii) if Tenant has been in Default under any provision of the Lease 3 or more times, whether or not the Defaults are cured,
during the 12 month period prior to the date on which Tenant seeks to exercise the Right of First Refusal. 
 (d) Termination. The
Right of First Refusal shall, at Landlord’s option, terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant’s due and timely exercise of the Right of First Refusal, if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of
the lease of such First Refusal Space, (i) Tenant fails to timely cure any default by Tenant under the Lease; or (ii) Tenant has Defaulted 3 or more times during the period from the date of the exercise of the Right of First Refusal to the
date of the commencement of the lease of the First Refusal Space, whether or not such Defaults are cured. 
 (e) Rights Personal. The
Right of First Refusal is personal to Tenant and is not assignable without Landlord’s consent, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion separate and apart from any consent by Landlord to an assignment of Tenant’s
interest in the Lease, except that they may be assigned in connection with any Permitted Assignment of this Lease. 
 (f) No
Extensions. The period of time within which the Right of First Refusal may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise the Right of First Refusal.

 40. Right to Extend Term. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term of the Lease
upon the following terms and conditions: 
 (a) Extension Rights. Tenant shall have 1 right (an “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 with respect to Base Rent and the Work Letter) by giving Landlord written notice of its election to
exercise such Extension Right at least 9 months prior to the expiration of the Base Term of the Lease. 
 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 such Extension Term by the Rent Adjustment Percentage. As used herein,
“Market Rate” shall mean the then market rental rate as determined by Landlord and agreed to by Tenant, which shall in no event be less than the Base Rent payable as of the date immediately preceding the commencement of such
Extension Term increased by the Rent Adjustment Percentage multiplied by such Base Rent. 
 If, on or before the date which is 180 days
prior to the expiration of the Base Term of this Lease, 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 shall be deemed to have
elected arbitration as described in Section 40(b). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, if Tenant has elected to exercise the Extension Right by delivering notice to Landlord as required in this Section 40(a), Tenant shall
have no right thereafter to rescind or elect not to extend the term of the Lease for the Extension Term. 
 (b) Arbitration. 

(i) Within 10 days of Tenant’s notice to Landlord of its election (or deemed election) to arbitrate Market Rate, each
party shall deliver to the other a proposal containing the Market Rate that the submitting party believes to be correct (“Extension Proposal”). If either party fails to timely submit an Extension Proposal, the other party’s
submitted proposal shall determine the Base Rent for the Extension Term. If both parties submit Extension Proposals, then Landlord and Tenant shall meet within 7 days after delivery of the last Extension Proposal and make a good faith attempt to
mutually appoint a single Arbitrator (and defined below) to determine the Market Rate. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a single Arbitrator, then each shall, by written notice delivered to the other within 10 days after the meeting,
select an Arbitrator. If either party fails to timely give notice of its selection for an Arbitrator, the other party’s submitted proposal shall determine the Base Rent for the Extension Term. The 2 Arbitrators so appointed shall, within 5
business days after their appointment, appoint a third Arbitrator. If the 2 Arbitrators so selected cannot agree on the selection of the third Arbitrator within the time above specified, then either party, on behalf of both parties, may request such
appointment of such third Arbitrator by application to any state court of general jurisdiction in the jurisdiction in which the Premises are located, upon 10 days prior written notice to the other party of such intent. 

(ii) The decision of the Arbitrator(s) shall be made within 30 days after the appointment of a single Arbitrator or the third
Arbitrator, as applicable. The decision of the single Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. The average of the two closest Arbitrators in a three Arbitrator panel shall be final and binding upon the parties. Each party shall pay
the fees and expenses of the Arbitrator appointed by or on behalf of such party and the fees and expenses of the third Arbitrator shall be borne equally by both parties. If the Market Rate is not determined by the first day of the Extension Term,
then Tenant shall pay Landlord Base Rent in an amount equal to the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the Extension Term and increased by the Rent Adjustment Percentage until such determination is made. After the determination of the Market
Rate, the parties shall make any necessary adjustments to such payments made by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall then execute an amendment recognizing the Market Rate for the first year of the Extension Term.

 (iii) An “Arbitrator” shall be any person appointed by or on
behalf of either party or appointed pursuant to the provisions hereof and: (i) shall be (A) a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers with not less than 10 years of experience in the appraisal of improved office and high
tech industrial real estate in the greater San Diego metropolitan area, or (B) a licensed commercial real estate broker with not less than 15 years experience representing landlords and/or tenants in the leasing of high tech or life sciences
space in the greater San Diego metropolitan area, (ii) devoting substantially all of their time to professional appraisal or brokerage work, as applicable, at the time of appointment and (iii) be in all respects impartial and
disinterested. 
 (c) Rights Personal. The Extension Right is personal to Tenant and is not assignable without Landlord’s
consent, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion separate and apart from any consent by Landlord to an assignment of Tenant’s interest in the Lease, except that they may be assigned in connection with any Permitted
Assignment of this Lease. 
 (d) Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything set forth above to the contrary, the Extension Right shall, at
Landlord’s option, not be in effect and Tenant may not exercise the Extension Right: 
 (i) during any period of time
that Tenant is in Default under any provision of this Lease; or 
 (ii) if Tenant has been in Default under any provision of
this Lease 3 or more times, whether or not the Defaults are cured, during the 12 month period immediately prior to the date that Tenant intends to exercise the Extension Right, whether or not the Defaults are cured. 

(e) No Extensions. The period of time within which the Extension Right may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of
Tenant’s inability to exercise the Extension Right. 
 (f) Termination. The Extension Right shall, at Landlord’s option,
terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant’s due and timely exercise of the Extension Right, if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of the Extension Term, (i) Tenant fails to timely cure any
default by Tenant under this Lease; or (ii) Tenant has Defaulted 3 or more times during the period from the date of the exercise of the Extension Right to the date of the commencement of the Extension Term, whether or not such Defaults are
cured. 
 41. Early Termination Right. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease (“Termination
Right”) as of expiration of the 36th month after the Commencement Date (“Early Termination Date”), so long as Tenant delivers to Landlord (i) a written notice (“Termination Notice”), of its election to
exercise its Termination Right no less than 9 months in advance of the Early Termination Date, and (ii) concurrent with Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of the Termination Notice delivers, an early termination payment in the amount of
$310,000 (“Early Termination Payment”). If Tenant timely and properly exercises the Termination Right, Tenant shall vacate the Premises and deliver possession thereof to Landlord in the condition required by the terms of this Lease
on or before the Early Termination Date and Tenant shall have no further obligations under this Lease with respect to the Premises except for those accruing prior to the Early Termination Date and those which, pursuant to the terms of the Lease,
survive the expiration or early termination of this Lease with respect to the Premises. In the event that (i) Tenant does not deliver to Landlord the Termination Notice and the Early Termination Payment within the time period provided in this
paragraph, or (ii) Tenant exercises its Right of First Refusal pursuant to Section 39, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its Termination Right. 

42. Landlord’s Right to Relocate Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to relocate Tenant, upon 180 days’ prior written
notice, from all or part of the Premises to another area in the Project designated by Landlord (the “Relocation Premises”), provided that: (a) the size of the Relocation Premises is at least equal to the size of the Premises;
and, (b) Landlord pays the reasonable costs of moving Tenant and improving the Relocation Premises to a substantially similar standard as that of the

Premises, and reimburses Tenant for all reasonable costs directly incurred by Tenant as a result of relocation, including without limitation all costs incurred by Tenant replacing Tenant’s
letterhead, promotional materials, business cards and similar items. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in all reasonable ways to facilitate relocation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not be required to
relocate into the Relocation Space until any work being performed by Landlord in the Relocation Premises to render the Relocation Premises to a substantially similar standard as that of the Premises, if any, has been substantially completed. 

43. LEED Certification. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and to comply with measures implemented by Landlord with respect to
the Building and/or the Project in connection with Landlord’s efforts to obtain a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certificate for the base, shell and core of the Building. Any reasonable measure implemented in accordance
with the foregoing will be at minimal or no cost to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, Landlord shall not be precluded from undertaking any retrofits, repairs or replacements (including, without limitation,
capital repairs and replacements) to the Premises, the Building or the Project as part of Operating Expenses in the ordinary course of maintenance or repairs (including, without limitation, capital repairs and replacements) to the Premises, the
Building, or the Project which retrofits, repairs or replacements include LEED components or satisfy LEED rating systems or any similar standard in connection with the performance by Landlord of its obligations under this Lease. 

44. Alternative Premises. Commencing on the date that is 12 months prior to the earlier of (i) if Tenant has exercised its
Termination Right pursuant to Section 41, the Early Termination Date, or (ii) the expiration date of this Lease (either, the “Alternative Premises Commencement Date”), through the earlier of (i) if Tenant has
exercised its Termination Right pursuant to Section 41, the date that is 6 months prior to the Early Termination Date, or (ii) the date that is 6 months prior to the expiration date of the Lease (either, the “Alternative
Premises Expiration Date”), Landlord shall have the opportunity, if it so elects and without any obligation to do so, to offer one or more alternative premises for lease to Tenant which reasonably satisfies the premises being sought by
Tenant following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease (“Alternative Premises”). Such Alternative Premises shall be offered, if at all, to Tenant at market terms and may be located at the Project or, if
Landlord so elects, at another property in the San Diego area owned or controlled by an entity controlled by, under common control with, or controlling Landlord including, without limitation, any of the constituent members of Landlord or Alexandria
Real Estate Equities, Inc. (any such entity, an “Affiliate”). Alternatively, Landlord and/or any Affiliate, as the case may be, shall have the right, if it so elects and without any obligation to do so, to acquire a new project or
redevelop any existing project it then owns to provide the Alternative Premises. Such new lease shall, if entered into, otherwise be upon terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord or Affiliate, as the case may be, and Tenant in their respective
good faith sole discretion. As of the Alternative Premises Commencement Date, Tenant shall be required to negotiate in good faith with Landlord (or its Affiliate) with respect to any Alternative Premises offered by Landlord (or its Affiliate)
through the Alternative Premises Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 44, Tenant shall not enter into any lease agreement with any third party for space in the San Diego area any time prior
to the Alternative Premises Expiration Date. The provisions of this Section 44 shall only apply so long as ARE-SD Region No. 25, LLC, or an Affiliate is the owner of the Project. 

45. Miscellaneous. 
 (a)
Notices. All notices or other communications between the parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given upon delivery or refusal to accept delivery by the addressee thereof if delivered in person, or upon actual receipt if
delivered by reputable overnight guaranty courier, addressed and sent to the parties at their addresses set forth above. Landlord and Tenant may from time to time by written notice to the other designate another address for receipt of future
notices. 
 (b) Joint and Several Liability. If and when included within the term “Tenant,” as used in this
instrument, there is more than one person or entity, each shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of Tenant.

 (c) Financial Information. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with true and complete copies
of Tenant’s most recent audited annual financial statements within 90 after the issuance of such audited financial statements, but in no event later than 180 days after the end of each of Tenant’s fiscal years during the Term. In addition,
Tenant’s Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer shall, at Landlord’s request not more frequently than twice each year, meet with Landlord at Tenant’s offices and make available for review during such meetings additional
information regarding Tenant’s financial condition and business progress. If Landlord is considering a sale of the Project or obtaining financing secured by the Project, Landlord shall have right to be accompanied at such meetings by
representatives of the prospective purchaser or lender. 
 (d) Recordation. Neither this Lease nor a memorandum of lease shall be
filed by or on behalf of Tenant in any public record. Landlord may prepare and file, and upon request by Landlord Tenant will execute, a memorandum of lease. 

(e) Interpretation. The normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party
shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Lease or any exhibits or amendments hereto. Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include
the plural, unless the context otherwise requires. The captions inserted in this Lease are for convenience only and in no way define, limit or otherwise describe the scope or intent of this Lease, or any provision hereof, or in any way affect the
interpretation of this Lease. 
 (f) Not Binding Until Executed. The submission by Landlord to Tenant of this Lease shall have no
binding force or effect, shall not constitute an option for the leasing of the Premises, nor confer any right or impose any obligations upon either party until execution of this Lease by both parties. 

(g) Limitations on Interest. It is expressly the intent of Landlord and Tenant at all times to comply with applicable law governing the
maximum rate or amount of any interest payable on or in connection with this Lease. If applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any interest called for under this Lease, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or
received with respect to this Lease, then it is Landlord’s and Tenant’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Landlord be credited on the applicable obligation (or, if the obligation has been or would thereby be
paid in full, refunded to Tenant), and the provisions of this Lease immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the
applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder. 
 (h) Choice of Law.
Construction and interpretation of this Lease shall be governed by the internal laws of the state in which the Premises are located, excluding any principles of conflicts of laws. 

(i) Time. Time is of the essence as to the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. 

(j) OFAC. Tenant, and all beneficial owners of Tenant, are currently (a) in compliance with and shall at all times during the Term
of this Lease remain in compliance with the regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of Treasury and any statute, executive order, or regulation relating thereto (collectively, the
“OFAC Rules”), (b) not listed on, and shall not during the term of this Lease be listed on, the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by OFAC and/or on any other similar list maintained by OFAC or
other governmental authority pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order, or regulation, and (c) not a person or entity with whom a U.S. person is prohibited from conducting business under the OFAC Rules. 

(k) Incorporation by Reference. All exhibits and addenda attached hereto are hereby incorporated into this Lease and made a part
hereof. If there is any conflict between such exhibits or addenda and the terms of this Lease, such exhibits or addenda shall control.

 (l) Entire Agreement. This Lease, including the exhibits attached hereto, constitutes
the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, letters of intent, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the
parties, and there are no warranties, representations or other agreements, express or implied, made to either party by the other party in connection with the subject matter hereof except as specifically set forth herein. 

(m) No Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of Base
Rent or any Additional Rent will be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Base Rent and Additional Rent, nor will any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying a check for payment of any Base Rent or Additional Rent be
an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or to pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. 

(n) Hazardous Activities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Landlord, for itself and its employees, agents and
contractors, reserves the right to refuse to perform any repairs or services in any portion of the Premises which, pursuant to Tenant’s routine safety guidelines, practices or custom or prudent industry practices, require any form of protective
clothing or equipment other than safety glasses. In any such case, Tenant shall contract with parties who are acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, for all such repairs and services, and Landlord shall, to the extent
required, equitably adjust Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses in respect of such repairs or services to reflect that Landlord is not providing such repairs or services to Tenant. 

(o) Redevelopment of Project. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord, in its sole discretion, may from time to time expand, renovate and/or
reconfigure the Project as the same may exist from time to time and, in connection therewith or in addition thereto, as the case may be, from time to time without limitation: (a) change the shape, size, location, number and/or extent of any
improvements, buildings, structures, lobbies, hallways, entrances, exits, parking and/or parking areas relative to any portion of the Project; (b) modify, eliminate and/or add any buildings, improvements, and parking structure(s) either above
or below grade, to the Project, the Common Areas and/or any other portion of the Project and/or make any other changes thereto affecting the same; and (c) make any other changes, additions and/or deletions in any way affecting the Project
and/or any portion thereof as Landlord may elect from time to time, including without limitation, additions to and/or deletions from the land comprising the Project, the Common Areas and/or any other portion of the Project. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have no right to seek damages (including abatement of Rent) or to cancel or terminate this Lease because of any proposed changes, expansion, renovation or reconfiguration of the Project nor shall
Tenant have the right to restrict, inhibit or prohibit any such changes, expansion, renovation or reconfiguration; provided, however, Landlord shall not change the size, dimensions, location or Tenant’s Permitted Use of the Premises. 

(p) Discontinued Use. If, at any time following the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant does not continuously operate its business in the
Premises for a period of 180 consecutive days and such failure to continuously operate has not been deemed a Default under this Lease by Landlord pursuant to Section 20(c), Landlord may, but is not obligated to, elect to terminate this
Lease upon 30 days’ written notice to Tenant, whereupon this Lease shall terminate 30 days’ after Landlord’s delivery of such written notice (“Termination Date”), and Tenant shall vacate the Premises and deliver
possession thereof to Landlord in the condition required by the terms of this Lease on or before the Termination Date and Tenant shall have no further obligations under this Lease except for those accruing prior to the Termination Date and those
which, pursuant to the terms of the Lease, survive the expiration or early termination of the Lease. 
 (q) Confidentiality. Tenant
hereby agrees that, except as otherwise provided herein that, (i) Tenant shall hold the Confidential Information (as defined below) in strict confidence, and (iii) Tenant shall not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party,
except as authorized in writing by Landlord or as required by Legal Requirements. Tenant may disclose the Confidential Information to its agents,

employees, attorneys, investors, prospective investors, partners, prospective partners, directors, grant issuing institutions and consultants with a need to know such information, provided that
any person to whom any of the Confidential Information is delivered is informed by Tenant of the strictly confidential nature of the Confidential Information and such person agrees in writing to be bound by confidentiality restrictions at least as
restrictive as those contained herein. Tenant shall use the same degree of care to prevent the misuse of the Confidential Information as Tenant uses with respect to its own proprietary information, but in no event less than reasonable care. Tenant
shall immediately notify Landlord in the event of any loss or unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” shall mean all of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements set forth in this Lease
or any amendments hereto and any related agreements of whatever nature.

EXHIBIT C TO LEASE 

WORK LETTER 
 THIS
WORK LETTER dated September, 23 (this “Work Letter”) is made and entered into by and between ARE-SD REGION NO. 25, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and OTONOMY, INC., a Delaware
corporation (“Tenant”), and is attached to and made a part of the Lease Agreement dated September 23, 2011 (the “Lease”), by and between Landlord and Tenant. Any 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 Paul Cayer (“Tenant’s Representative”) as the only

(c) Tenant’s Space Plans. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the plan prepared by the TI Architect attached to the
Lease as Exhibit H (the “Space Plan”) has been approved by both Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant further acknowledge and agree that any changes to the Space Plan constitute a Change Request the cost of which changes
shall be paid for by Tenant. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs incurred by Landlord to alter the Building (or Landlord’s plans for the Building) as a result of Tenant’s requested changes. 

(d) Working Drawings. Landlord shall cause the TI Architect to prepare and deliver to Tenant 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 Space Plan. Tenant shall be solely responsible for ensuring
that the TI Construction Drawings reflect Tenant’s requirements for the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall deliver its written comments on the TI Construction Drawings to Landlord not later than 10 business days after Tenant’s receipt of
the same; provided, however, that Tenant may not disapprove any matter that is consistent with the Space Plan without submitting a Change Request. Landlord and the TI Architect shall consider all such comments in good faith and shall, within 10
business days after receipt, notify Tenant how Landlord proposes to respond to such comments, but Tenant’s review rights pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall not delay the design or construction schedule for the Tenant Improvements. 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 Space Plan, Tenant shall approve the TI
Construction Drawings submitted by Landlord, unless Tenant submits a Change Request. Once approved by Tenant, subject to the provisions of Section 4 below, Landlord 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(b) below). 
 (e) Approval
and Completion. It is hereby acknowledged by Landlord and Tenant that the TI Construction Drawings must be completed and approved not later than October 14, 2011, in order for Landlord’s Work to be Substantially Complete by the Target
Commencement Date (as defined in the Lease). Upon any dispute regarding the design of the Tenant Improvements, which 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 by Tenant, and (iii) Tenant’s decision will not affect the base Building, structural components of the Building or any Building
systems. 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. 

3. Performance of Landlord’s Work. 

(a) Commencement and Permitting. Landlord shall commence construction of the Tenant Improvements upon obtaining a building permit (the
“TI Permit”) authorizing the construction of the Tenant Improvements consistent with the TI Construction Drawings approved by Tenant. The cost of obtaining the TI Permit shall be payable by Landlord. Tenant shall (at no cost to
Tenant) assist Landlord in obtaining the TI Permit. If any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the construction of Landlord’s Work or any portion thereof shall impose terms or conditions upon the construction thereof that:
(i) are inconsistent with Landlord’s obligations hereunder, (ii) increase the cost of constructing Landlord’s Work, or (iii) will materially delay the construction of Landlord’s Work, Landlord and Tenant shall
reasonably and in good faith seek means by which to mitigate or eliminate any such adverse terms and conditions. 
 (b) Completion of
Landlord’s Work. On or before the Target Commencement Date (subject to Tenant Delays and Force Majeure delays), Landlord 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 that do not interfere with the use of the Premises (“Substantial Completion” or “Substantially Complete”). Upon Substantial Completion of
Tenant Improvements, Landlord 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 comply with any request by Tenant for modifications to the Tenant Improvements; (iii) to comport with good design, engineering, and construction practices that are not material;
or (iv) to make reasonable adjustments for field deviations or conditions encountered during the construction of Tenant Improvements. 

(c) Selection of Materials. Where more than one type of material or structure is indicated on the TI Construction Drawings approved by
Landlord and Tenant, the option will be selected at Landlord’s sole and absolute subjective discretion. As to all building materials and equipment that Landlord is obligated to supply under this Work Letter, Landlord shall select the
manufacturer thereof in its sole and absolute subjective discretion. 
 (d) Delivery of the Premises. When the Tenant Improvements
are Substantially Complete, subject to the remaining terms and provisions of this Section 3(d), Tenant shall accept the Premises. Tenant’s taking possession and acceptance of the Premises shall not constitute a waiver of:
(i) any warranty with respect to workmanship (including installation of equipment) or material (exclusive of equipment provided directly by manufacturers), (ii) any non-compliance of Tenant Improvements with applicable Legal Requirements,
or (iii) any claim that the Tenant Improvements were not completed substantially in accordance with the TI Construction Drawings (subject to Minor Variations and such other changes as are permitted hereunder) (collectively, a
“Construction Defect”). Tenant shall have one year after Substantial Completion within which to notify Landlord of any such Construction Defect discovered by Tenant, and Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to remedy or cause the
responsible contractor to remedy any such Construction Defect within 30 days thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be in default under the Lease if the applicable contractor, despite Landlord’s reasonable efforts, fails
to remedy such Construction Defect within such 30-day period, in which case Landlord shall have no further obligation with respect to such Construction Defect other than to cooperate, at no cost to Landlord, with Tenant should Tenant elect to pursue
a claim against such contractor. 
 Tenant shall be entitled to receive the benefit of all construction warranties and manufacturer’s
equipment warranties relating to equipment installed in the Premises. If requested by Tenant, Landlord shall attempt to obtain extended warranties from manufacturers and suppliers of such equipment, but the cost of any such extended warranties shall
be borne solely by Tenant. Landlord shall promptly undertake and complete, or cause to be completed, all punch list items. 
 (a)
Commencement Date Delay. Except as otherwise provided in the Lease, Delivery of the Premises shall occur when the Tenant Improvements have been Substantially Completed, except to the extent that Substantial Completion of the Tenant
Improvements shall have been actually delayed by any one or more of the following causes (“Tenant Delay”): 

(i) Tenant’s Representative was not available to give or receive any Communication or to take any other action required to
be taken by Tenant hereunder; 
 (ii) Tenant’s request for Change Requests (as defined in Section 4(a)
below) whether or not any such Change Requests are actually performed; 
 (iii) Construction of any Change Requests; 

(iv) Tenant’s request for materials, finishes or installations requiring unusually long lead times, provided that promptly
after Landlord learns of such long lead time items, Landlord informs Tenant that the requested items will require unusually long lead times;

	Work Letter – Landlord Build	  	6275 Nancy Ridge/Otonomy - Page 4

  

(v) Tenant’s delay in reviewing, revising or approving plans and specifications beyond the periods set forth herein; 

(vi) Tenant’s delay in providing information critical to the normal progression of the Project. Tenant shall provide such
information as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event longer than one week after receipt of any request for such information from Landlord; 

(vii) Tenant’s delay in making payments to Landlord for Excess TI Costs (as defined in Section 5(d) below); or

 (viii) Any other act or omission by Tenant or any Tenant Party (as defined in the Lease), or persons employed by any of
such persons. 
 If Delivery is delayed for any of the foregoing reasons, then Landlord shall cause the TI Architect to certify the date on
which the Tenant Improvements would have been completed but for such Tenant Delay and such certified date shall be the date of Delivery. 

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

 (a) Tenant’s Request For Changes. If Tenant shall request changes to the Tenant Improvements (“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, before proceeding with any Change, use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to Tenant as soon as is reasonably possible with an estimate of:
(i) the time it will take, and (ii) the architectural and engineering fees and costs that will be incurred, to analyze such Change Request (which costs shall be paid by Tenant to the extent actually incurred, whether or not such change is
implemented). Landlord shall thereafter submit to Tenant in writing, within 5 business days of receipt of the Change Request (or such longer period of time as is reasonably required depending on the extent of the Change Request), an analysis of the
additional cost or savings involved, including, without limitation, architectural and engineering costs and the period of time, if any, that the Change will extend the date on which Landlord’s Work will be Substantially Complete. Any such delay
in the completion of Landlord’s Work caused by a Change, including any suspension of Landlord’s Work while any such Change is being evaluated and/or designed, shall be Tenant Delay. 

(b) Implementation of Changes. If Tenant: (i) approves in writing the cost or savings and the estimated extension in the time for
completion of Landlord’s Work, if any, and (ii) deposits with Landlord any Excess TI Costs required in connection with such Change, Landlord shall cause the approved Change to be instituted. Notwithstanding any approval or disapproval by
Tenant of any estimate of the delay caused by such proposed Change, the TI Architect’s determination of the amount of Tenant Delay in connection with such Change shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant. 

5. Costs. 
 (a) TI
Costs. Landlord shall be responsible for the payment of design, permits and construction costs in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, the cost of preparing the TI Construction Drawings and
the Space Plans (collectively, “TI Costs”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Landlord be required to pay for any furniture, personal property or other non-Building system materials or
equipment, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s voice or data cabling, non-ducted biological safety cabinets and other scientific equipment not incorporated into the Tenant Improvements.

	Work Letter – Landlord Build	  	6275 Nancy Ridge/Otonomy - Page 5

  

(b) Excess TI Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have
no responsibility for any costs arising from or related to Tenant’s changes to the Space Plan or TI Construction Drawings, Tenant Delays, the cost of Changes and Change Requests (collectively, “Excess TI Costs”). Tenant shall
deposit with Landlord, as a condition precedent to Landlord’s obligation to complete the Tenant Improvements, 100% of the Excess TI Costs. If Tenant fails to deposit any Excess TI Costs with Landlord, Landlord shall have all of the rights and
remedies set forth in the Lease for nonpayment of Rent (including, but not limited to, the right to interest at the Default Rate and the right to assess a late charge). For purposes of any litigation instituted with regard to such amounts, those
amounts will be deemed Rent under the Lease. 
 6. Tenant Access. 

(a) Tenant’s Access Rights. Landlord hereby agrees to permit Tenant access, at Tenant’s sole risk and expense, to the
Building (i) 30 days prior to the Commencement Date to perform any work (“Tenant’s Work”) required by Tenant other than Landlord’s Work, provided that such Tenant’s Work is coordinated with the TI Architect and
the general contractor, and complies with the Lease and all other reasonable restrictions and conditions Landlord may impose, and (ii) prior to the completion of Landlord’s Work, to inspect and observe work in process; all such access
shall be during normal business hours or at such other times as are reasonably designated by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to enter onto the Premises or the Project unless and until Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord demonstrating that any insurance reasonably required by Landlord in connection with such pre-commencement access (including, but not limited to, any insurance that Landlord may require pursuant
to the Lease) is in full force and effect. Any entry by Tenant shall comply with all established safety practices of Landlord’s contractor and Landlord until completion of Landlord’s Work and acceptance thereof by Tenant. 

(b) No Interference. Neither Tenant nor any Tenant Party (as defined in the Lease) shall interfere with the performance of
Landlord’s Work, nor with any inspections or issuance of final approvals by applicable Governmental Authorities, and upon any such interference, Landlord shall have the right to exclude Tenant and any Tenant Party from the Premises and the
Project until Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work. 
 (c) No Acceptance of Premises. The fact that Tenant may, with
Landlord’s consent, enter into the Project prior to the date Landlord’s Work is Substantially Complete for the purpose of performing Tenant’s Work shall not be deemed an acceptance by Tenant of possession of the Premises, but in such
event Tenant shall defend with counsel reasonably acceptable by Landlord, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss of or damage to Tenant’s property, completed work, fixtures, equipment, materials or merchandise, and from
liability for death of, or injury to, any person, caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any Tenant Party. 
 7. Miscellaneous.

 (a) Consents. Whenever consent or approval of either party is required under this Work Letter, that party shall not unreasonably
withhold, condition or delay such consent or approval, unless expressly set forth herein to the contrary. 
 (b) Modification. No
modification, waiver or amendment of this Work Letter or of any of its conditions or provisions shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE 

This First Amendment (this “Amendment”) to Lease Agreement is made as of May 28, 2014, by and between ARE-SD REGION
NO. 25, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and OTONOMY, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”). 

RECITALS 
 A.
Landlord and Tenant have entered into that certain Lease Agreement dated as of September 23, 2011 (the “Lease”), wherein Landlord leased to Tenant certain premises consisting of approximately 14,503 rentable square feet located
at 6275 Nancy Ridge Drive, San Diego, California as more particularly described therein. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease. 

B. Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease to, among other things, (i) change the date upon which the Termination Notice must be
delivered to Landlord in order for Tenant to exercise the Termination Right and (ii) prohibit Tenant (or any agent working on behalf of Tenant) from negotiating or discussing with any third party a real property lease or other occupancy
agreement for space in the San Diego area prior to November 15, 2014. 
 AGREEMENT 

Now, therefore, the parties hereto agree that the Lease is amended as follows: 

1. Early Termination Right. 

The first sentence in Section 41 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 

“Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease (“Termination Right”) as of the expiration of the 36th month after
the Commencement Date (“Early Termination Date”), so long as Tenant delivers to Landlord (i) a written notice (“Termination Notice”), of its election to exercise its Termination Right on or before
November 15, 2014, and (ii) concurrent with Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of the Termination Notice delivers, an early termination payment in the amount of $310,000 (“Early Termination Payment”).” 

The following is added to the end of Section 41 and shall supersede any language inconsistent therewith in Section 44: 

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 41 or Section 44, neither Tenant, any Tenant employee nor
any agent or broker working on behalf of Tenant shall discuss or negotiate with any third party (other than Landlord or any Affiliate) a lease or other occupancy agreement for laboratory, research or development space in the San Diego area at any
time prior to November 15, 2014. In addition, Tenant shall not enter into any lease agreement or other occupancy agreement with any third party for space in the San Diego area any time prior to November 15, 2014. Tenant shall be
responsible for all damages suffered by Landlord resulting from or occasioned by Tenant’s breach of the obligations and restrictions contained in this Section 41, including consequential damages.”

2. Miscellaneous. 

(a) This 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 Amendment may be amended only by an agreement in writing, signed by the parties hereto.

(e) Except as amended and/or modified by this 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 Amendment. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Amendment and the provisions of the Lease, the provisions of this Amendment shall prevail. Whether or not
specifically amended by this 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 Amendment.
