	 	3.	 Term. 

 3.1       This Lease shall take effect upon the date of execution hereof by each of the parties hereto, and each of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant from the date of execution hereof by each of the parties hereto. 

3.2       The term of this Lease will be that period from May 24, 2004
(“Term Commencement Date”) through May 23, 2012 (eight [8] years from the Term Commencement Date), subject to earlier termination of this Lease or extension of the term as provided herein. 

 

	 	4.	 Possession. 

 4.1       Landlord shall tender possession of the Premises to Tenant upon full execution of the Lease. Prior to entry by Tenant onto the Premises before the Term
Commencement Date, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord evidence satisfactory to Landlord that insurance coverages required of Tenant under the provisions of Article 21 are in effect. Occupancy of the Premises prior to the Term Commencement Date shall
be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease other than the payment of Basic Annual Rent and Operating Expenses. 
  

	 	4.2	 Landlord shall contribute for the cost of Tenant Improvements $473,000 plus $27,678 for architectural fees for a total of $500,678. In addition,
Landlord will pay an additional $4,000 if the elevator has to be permitted separately. Further, at Landlord’s cost, Landlord shall engage Comfort Systems to perform testing of the HVAC system to insure its ability to support 55% relative
humidity and a 68 degree temperature for the Clean Room, and make any necessary modifications. Landlord shall also initialize the RO/DI water system (on-going maintenance to be paid by Tenant). If the cost of Tenant Improvements exceed the Landlord
Allowance, Tenant shall pay such excess costs. 

  
 3 

	 	4.3	 Tenant shall contract with David Begent & Co. and Krenek Design Group to construct and design the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall prepare
a Tenant Improvement Budget, including design fees, costs of processing and obtaining permits from the City of San Diego and any other governmental agency with jurisdiction over the Premises, architect fees and other direct costs incurred in the
design and construction of the Tenant Improvements. The Tenant Improvement Budget, and all revisions thereto, shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. As work progresses on the Tenant
Improvements, Tenant shall submit an application for payment (“Application for Payment”) to Landlord no more often than monthly, and by the twentieth (20th) day of the month, for disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Applications for Payment may be made
only for work actually completed or services actually provided. Applications for Payment shall include copies of the invoices to Tenant by Tenant’s contractor(s) or other vendors for the work completed and be certified by both Tenant and
Tenant’s architect that the described Tenant Improvement work or services have been completed. If the Tenant Improvement Budget, as it may be revised from time to time, exceeds that amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, as initially
adopted or as revised from time to time because of changes in work, cost overruns, or otherwise, Tenant shall pay the overage on a monthly basis proportionately as the work progresses. Tenant shall, at its expense, install any improvements in
addition to those listed on the Tenant Improvement Budget which are necessary to ensure (i) the Premises are completed in accordance with the Tenant Improvement Plans, (ii) the Premises are fully operational, and (iii) a certificate
of occupancy is issued for the Premises. 

  

	 	5.	 Rent. 

 5.1            Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as Basic Annual Rent for the Premises the sums set forth in Section 2.1.4, subject to
adjustment as set forth in Section 8.3. Basic Annual Rent shall be paid in the equal monthly installments set forth in Section 2.1.5, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 8.3, each in advance on the first day of each and
every calendar month during the term of this Lease. Basic Annual Rent shall not be payable, and shall be forgiven, for the period May 24, 2004 through January 23, 2005. 

5.2       In addition to Basic Annual Rent, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as
additional rent (“Additional Rent”), at the times hereinafter specified in this Lease (i) Tenant’s Pro Rata Share (as defined in Section 7.3(a) and as set forth in Section 2.1.6, subject to adjustment pursuant to
Section 8.1) of Operating Expenses as provided in Article 7, and (ii) all other amounts that Tenant assumes or agrees to pay under the provisions of this Lease, including but not limited to any and all other sums that may become due by
reason of any default of Tenant or failure on Tenant’s part to comply with the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, and Landlord’s performance of any obligations of Tenant under this Lease.

  
 4 

5.3              Basic Annual Rent and Additional
Rent shall together be denominated “Rent.” Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Rent shall be paid to Landlord, without notice, demand, abatement, suspension, deduction, setoff, counterclaim, or defense, in lawful money of
the United States of America, at the office of Landlord as set forth in Section 2.1.9 or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. 

5.4              In the event the term of this
Lease commences or ends on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then the Rent for such fraction of a month shall be prorated for such period on the basis of a thirty (30) day month and shall be paid at the then current rate for
such fractional month prior to the commencement of the partial month. 

5.5              The installment of Basic Annual
Rent for the period May 1, 2005 through May 31, 2005 in the amount of $67,145 shall be deposited with Landlord by Tenant upon execution of the Lease, and shall be held by Landlord as an additional security deposit under Article 9 hereof
unless and until applied to Basic Annual Rent for such period.

 7 

7.3               Except as provided in
Section 7.6 below, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each calendar month of the term of this lease, as Additional Rent, Landlord’s good faith estimate of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share (as set forth in 2.1.6) of Operating
Expenses with respect to the Project for such month. 
 (a) “Tenant’s Pro Rata Share”
under this Lease shall mean 44%, determined by dividing the Rentable Area of the Premises by the total Rentable Area of the Project. 
 (b) Within sixty (60) days after the conclusion of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement (the “Annual Operating Expense Statement”) showing in reasonable
detail the actual Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses for the previous calendar year. Any additional sum due from Tenant to Landlord shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt
of such statement. If the amounts paid by Tenant pursuant to this Section 7.3 exceed Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses for the previous calendar year, the difference shall be credited by Landlord against the Rent next due and
owing from Tenant; provided that, if the Lease term has expired, Landlord shall accompany said statement with payment for the amount of such difference. 
 (c) Any amount due under this Section 7.3 for any period which is less than a full month shall be prorated for such fractional month. 

(d) Notwithstanding this Section 7.3, Operating Expenses which can fairly and reasonably be allocated to one
building or one or more tenants of the Project shall be so allocated, and shall be separately scheduled on the Annual Operating Expense Statement. 
 7.4           Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s expense, upon reasonable notice during reasonable business hours, to inspect that portion
of Landlord’s books which are relevant to preparation of the Annual Operating Expense Statement provided any request for such review shall be furnished within one hundred eighty (180) days after Tenant’s receipt of such statement as
to a prior year’s Operating Expenses. The costs of any such audit shall be borne by Tenant, provided however, that in the event such audit reveals that the amounts charged to Tenant were more than five percent (5%) greater than the amounts
permitted by this Lease to be charged to Tenant, then Landlord shall pay the reasonable costs of that audit. In addition, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, within ten (10) days of notice thereof, any amounts determined to be owed to Tenant as a
result of such audit. 

7.5               Operating Expenses for the
calendar year in which Tenant’s obligation to pay them commences and in the calendar year in which such obligation ceases shall be prorated. Expenses such as taxes, assessments and insurance premiums which are incurred for an extended time
period shall be prorated based upon time periods to which applicable so that the amounts attributed to the Premises relate in a reasonable manner to the time period wherein Tenant has an obligation to pay Operating Expenses. 

7.6               Notwithstanding anything in
this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not be responsible for payment of Operating Expenses for the period May 24, 2004 through August 23, 2004, and shall not be responsible for payment of 50% of its Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses
for the period August 23, 2004 through January 23, 2005.

	 	8.	 Rentable Area. 

 8.1            The Rentable Area of the Project is determined by making separate calculations of the Rentable Area of each floor of both
buildings and totalling the Rentable Area of all floors within the buildings. The Rentable Area of a floor is calculated by measuring to the outside finished surface of each permanent outer building wall where it intersects the floor, or where it
would have intersected the floor except for recessed entryways, windows and the like (also known as the “drip line”, measured from where the outside finished surface of the second floor wall intersects the roof). The full area calculated
as set forth above is included as Rentable Area of the Project without deduction for (i) columns or projections, (ii) vertical penetrations such as stairs, elevator shafts, flues, pipe shafts, vertical ducts, and the like, and their
enclosing walls, (iii) corridors, equipment rooms, rest rooms, entrance ways, elevator lobbies, and the like, and their enclosing walls, (iv) recessed entryways or windows, or (v) any other unusable area of any nature. 

8.2            The term “Rentable Area”
when applied to Tenant is the approximate area to be occupied by Tenant plus an equitable allocation of Rentable Area within the Project which is not then utilized or expected to be utilized by Tenant or other tenants of the Project, including but
not limited to the portions of the buildings devoted to corridors, equipment rooms, rest rooms, elevator lobbies and mailrooms. In making such allocations, consideration will be given to tenants benefited by space allocated such that areas which
primarily serve tenants of only one floor, such as corridors and rest rooms upon such floor, shall be allocated to that tenant’s Rentable Area. If the Premises are separated from space occupied by another tenant, the Rentable Area shall be
measured to the center of any interior demising walls. 

8.3            The Rentable Area as set forth in
Section 2.1.3 is an estimate of the area which constitutes the Rentable Area of the Premises, which, at the request of either Landlord or Tenant made within ninety (90) days after the Term Commencement Date, shall be adjusted in accordance
with measurement and certification of the Project architect. If the Rentable Area as determined hereunder is more or less than the Rentable Area set forth in Section 2.1.3, Basic Annual Rent, the monthly installments of Basic Annual Rent, and
Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be adjusted upward or downward, as the case may be, based on the actual Rentable Area of the Premises. 
  

	 	9.	 Security Deposit. 

 9.1        Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord cash in the amount of $268,583 as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all
of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant during the term and any extension term hereof If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including but not limited to any provision
relating to the payment of Rent, and subject to any notice requirements and cure periods for Tenant’s benefit set forth in Article 24, Landlord may (but shall not be required) to use, apply or retain the security deposit for the payment of any
Rent or any other sum in default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. Landlord may use the security deposit without giving notice of default to Tenant as

  
 9 

 
otherwise required by Article 24 if Landlord is precluded from giving such notice by any provision of the Bankruptcy Code. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security interest in the security
deposit in accordance with the applicable provisions of the California Commercial Code to secure the obligations of this Lease. 
 9.2      In the event any or all of the security deposit is used to cure a Tenant default, Tenant shall within fifteen (15) days after request therefore replenish the
security deposit to the full amount set forth above. 
 9.3      In the event of
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 all periods prior to the filing of such proceedings. 

9.4      Landlord shall deliver the security deposit to any purchaser of Landlord’s
interest in the Premises, and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect thereto provided that such purchaser has agreed to assume in writing the obligations of Landlord hereunder. This provision shall also apply
to any subsequent transfers. 
 9.5      The security deposit shall be returned
to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the expiration of this Lease, except for amounts which are actually used to pay or reimburse Landlord for costs incurred by Landlord to cure any default by Tenant. 

 

	 	10.	 Use. 

 10.1          Tenant may use the Premises for any use permitted by (i) the MIB Zone, (ii) any other applicable laws, regulations, ordinances,
requirements, permits and approvals applicable to the Premises, and (iii) all covenants, conditions and restrictions recorded against the property, and shall not use the Premises, or permit or suffer the Premises to be used for any other
purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord. 

10.2          Tenant shall conduct its business operations and use the
Premises in compliance with all federal, state, and local laws, regulations, ordinances, requirements, permits and approvals applicable to the Premises. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises in violation of any law or regulation or the
certificate of occupancy issued for the Building, and shall, upon five (5) days’ written notice from Landlord, discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any governmental authority having jurisdiction to be a violation of law
or the certificate of occupancy. Tenant shall comply with any direction of any governmental authority having jurisdiction which shall, by reason of the nature of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, impose any duty upon Tenant or Landlord
with respect to the Premises or with respect to the use or occupation thereof, excluding, however, any duty to make structural or capital improvements, alterations, repairs and replacements to the Premises. 

10.3          Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which
will invalidate or increase the cost (unless Tenant agrees to pay such increased cost) of any fire, extended coverage or any other insurance policy covering the Premises, or which will make such insurance coverage unavailable on commercially
reasonable terms and conditions, and shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations and requirements of the insurers of the Premises. 

  
 10 

 10.4          Subject to
the warranties of Landlord in Section 14.2, Tenant shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time. All responsibility for
compliance with the ADA relating to the Premises, including any alterations to the Premises made by Tenant and the activities conducted by Tenant within the Premises, shall be exclusively that of Tenant and not of Landlord, including any duty to
make structural or capital improvements, alterations, repairs and replacements to the Premises but only to the extent triggered by construction of alterations by or for Tenant. Any alterations to the Premises made by Tenant for the purpose of
complying with the ADA or which otherwise require compliance with the ADA shall be done in accordance with Article 17; provided, that Landlord’s consent to such alterations shall not constitute either Landlord’s assumption, in whole or in
part, of Tenant’s responsibility for compliance with the ADA, or representation or confirmation by Landlord that such alterations comply with the provisions of the ADA. However, nothing in this Lease shall be construed to require Tenant to make
structural or capital improvements, alterations, repairs or replacements to comply with ADA unless and until required to do so by order of any government entity or court of law exercising proper jurisdiction with regard thereto, subject to any right
to appeal or otherwise contest any such order. Furthermore, Landlord shall be responsible for compliance with ADA to the extent of a violation of Landlord’s warranties in Section 14.2.

occupy space in the Project, and that the maximum allowable signage is to be shared among all of the tenants on a pro rata basis. Tenant further acknowledges it is familiar with the restrictions of the City of San Diego Sign Ordinance, and is not
relying on any representations or warranty of Landlord regarding the number, size or location of any signage. The expense of design, permits, purchase and installation of any signs shall be the responsibility of Tenant and the cost thereof shall be
borne by Tenant. At the termination of the Lease, all signs shall be the property of Tenant and may be removed from the Premises by Tenant, subject to the provisions of Article 36. Any relocation of Tenant’s signage required by Landlord’s
division of the Project into more than one lot shall be with the consent of Tenant and at Landlord’s cost.

Commencement Date in accordance with Article 6, together with Operating Expenses in accordance with Article 7 and other Additional Rent as may be payable by Tenant, and such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and
condition contained herein.

whether owned by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which improvements in other spaces in the
Project are assessed, then the real property taxes and assessments levied against Landlord or the Project by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property to Tenant and shall be governed by the
provisions of Section 13.2 above. Any such excess assessed valuation due to improvements in or alterations to space in the Project leased by other tenants of Landlord shall not be included in the Operating Expenses defined in Section 7,
but shall be treated, as to such other tenants, as provided in this Section 13.3, and shall be allocated to such other tenants. If the records of the County assessor are available and sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for determining
whether said Tenant improvements or alterations are assessed at a higher valuation than improvements in other spaces in the Project, such records shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant.

registered mail before the applicable policy shall be cancelled for non-payment of premium, and thirty (30) days’ prior written notice by registered mail before the applicable policy shall be cancelled or altered in coverage, scope, amount
or other material term for any other reason (although any failure of an insurer to give notice as provided herein shall not be a breach of this Lease by Tenant). No policy shall provide for a deductible amount in excess of $100,000, unless approved
in advance in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, and to Landlord’s lenders if required by such lenders, certificates evidencing such insurance policies, issued by the

waiver shall continue in effect as long as the parties’ respective insurers permit such waiver under the terms of their respective insurance policies or otherwise in writing.

substantially covered by the insurance described in Section 21.2, Landlord shall within a reasonable time commence and proceed diligently to repair, reconstruct and restore (collectively, “restore”) the Premises and/or the Building to
substantially the same condition as they were in immediately prior to the casualty, whether or not the insurance proceeds are sufficient to cover the actual cost of restoration. Landlord shall be responsible for all costs of restoration of the
Premises and/or Building in excess of insurance proceeds. Except as expressly set forth below, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding such damage or destruction. 

22.2          In the event of any damage to or destruction of all or
any portion of the Premises or the Building arising from a risk which is not substantially covered by the insurance described in Section 21.2, Landlord shall within a reasonable time, at its expense, commence and proceed diligently to restore
the Premises and/or the Building to substantially the same condition as they were in immediately prior to the casualty. This Lease shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding such damage or destruction; provided, however, that if the
damage or destruction occurs during the last year of the term and the expense of restoration exceeds $ 100,000, then either Landlord or Tenant may, at its election, by written notice to the other, terminate the Lease; provided further, that if the
damage or destruction occurs at any other time and the expense of restoration exceeds $500,000, then Landlord may, at its election, by written notice to Tenant, terminate the Lease. 

22.3          In satisfying its obligations under this Article 22,
Landlord shall not be required to fulfill its restoration responsibilities with improvements identical to those which were damaged or destroyed; rather, with the consent of Tenant, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Landlord
may restore the damage or destruction with improvements reasonably equivalent to those damaged or destroyed. 

22.4      In the event of damage, destruction and/or restoration as herein provided, there
shall be no abatement of Rent, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages occasioned by any such damage, destruction or restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event restoration of the Premises and/or the Building
cannot reasonably be completed within six (6) months following the damage or destruction, Landlord will give notice thereof to Tenant within sixty (60) days following such damage or destruction, and Tenant at its election may by written
notice to Landlord terminate this Lease. 

22.5          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Article, should Landlord be delayed or prevented from completing the restoration of the improvements after the occurrence of such damage or destruction by reason of acts of God, war, government restrictions, inability to procure the necessary
labor or materials, strikes, or other causes beyond the control of Landlord (but excluding economic conditions or financial inability to perform), the time for Landlord to commence or complete restoration shall be extended for the time reasonably
required as a result of such causes. 

  
 20 

 22.6          Tenant
waives the provisions of Civil Code Section 1932(2) and 1933(4) or any similar statute now existing or hereafter adopted governing destruction of the Premises, so that the parties’ rights and obligations in the event of damage or
destruction shall be governed by the provisions of this Lease. 
  

	 	23.	 Eminent Domain. 

 23.1          In the event the Premises or the Building or any portion thereof shall be taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power
or authority by exercise of the right of appropriation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease upon the earlier of sixty (60) days after notice of such taking or the date
possession is required to be surrendered to said authority. 

23.2          In the event of a partial taking of the Premises or the
Building for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise of right of appropriation, condemnation, or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease if such taking
is of a material nature such as to make it uneconomical to continue use of the unappropriated portions for the purposes for which they were intended, and Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease if such taking is of material detriment to, and
substantially interferes with, Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises. In no event shall this Lease be terminated when such a partial taking does not have a material adverse effect upon Landlord or Tenant or both. Termination by either
party pursuant to this section shall be effective upon the earlier of sixty (60) days after notice of such partial taking or as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to said authority. 

23.3          If upon any taking of the nature described in this
Article 23 this Lease continues in effect, then Landlord shall promptly proceed to restore the remaining portion of the Premises and the Building to substantially their same condition prior to such partial taking. Basic Annual Rent shall be abated
proportionately on the basis of the rental value of the Premises as restored after such taking compared to the rental value of the Premises prior to such taking. 
  

	 	24.	 Defaults and Remedies. 

 24.1          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 by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed
covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within ten (10) days of the date such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of five percent (5%) of the
overdue rent as a late charge. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. In addition to the late charge, Rent not paid within thirty
(30) days of the date such payment is due shall bear interest from thirty (30) days after the date due until paid at the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law. 

  
 21 

24.2             No payment by Tenant or receipt by
Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent payment herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an
accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy provided. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any amount or sum
of money to be paid by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to make payment “under protest” and such payment shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right on the part of Tenant to institute suit
for recovery of the payment paid under protest. 

24.3             If Tenant fails to pay any sum of
money (other than Basic Annual Rent) required to be paid by it hereunder, or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, but shall not
be obligated to, make such payment or perform such act; provided, that such failure by Tenant continued for thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord demanding performance by Tenant was delivered to Tenant. 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 ten percent (10%) per annum or highest rate permitted by law, whichever is less, shall be payable to Landlord on
demand as Additional Rent. 

24.4             The occurrence of any one or more of
the following events shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant: 
 (a)  The failure by Tenant to
make any payment of Rent, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant. Such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161; 
 (b)  The failure by Tenant to observe or
perform any obligation other than described in Section 24.4(a) to be performed by Tenant, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if
the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required to cure the default, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said thirty (30) day period
and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion. Such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161; 

(c)  Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; 

(d)  A receiver, trustee or custodian is appointed to, or does, take title, possession or control of all, or
substantially all, of Tenant’s assets; or 
 (e)  Tenant’s interest in this Lease is
attached, executed upon, or otherwise judicially seized and such action is not released within ninety (90) days of the action. 

  
 22 

 Notices given under this Section shall specify the alleged default and
shall demand that Tenant perform the provisions of this Lease or pay the Rent that is in arrears, as the case may be, within the applicable period of time, or quit the Premises. No such notice shall be deemed a forfeiture or a termination of this
Lease unless Landlord elects otherwise in such notice, and in no event shall a forfeiture or termination occur without such written notice. 
 24.5             In the event of a default by Tenant, and at any time thereafter, and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any
right or remedy which Landlord may have, Landlord shall be entitled to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the
Premises to Landlord. In such event Landlord shall have the immediate right to re-enter and remove all persons and property, and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of
Tenant, all without service of notice and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall be
entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default, including: 
 (a)  The worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had 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 which 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 which 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 obligation under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, the cost of restoring the Premises to
the condition required under the terms of this Lease; plus 
 (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. 
 As used in Subsections (a), (b) and (c), the “time of award” shall mean the date upon which the judgment in any action brought by Landlord against Tenant by reason of such default is
entered or such earlier date as the court may determined. As used in Subsections (a) and (b), the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate specified in Section 24.1. As used in Subsection
(c) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by taking the present value of such amount using the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percentage point. 

  
 23 

 24.6          In the
event of a default by Tenant, and if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 24.5 or otherwise terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Landlord shall have the remedy described in
Section 1951.4 of the Civil Code. Landlord may continue this Lease in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, and may enforce all of its rights and remedies under the Lease, including
the right from time to time to recover Rent as it becomes due under the Lease. At any time thereafter, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease and to recover damages to which Landlord is entitled. 

24.7          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Landlord’s reentry to perform acts of maintenance or preservation of, or in connection with efforts to relet, the Premises, or any portion thereof, or the appointment of a receiver upon Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s
interest under this Lease, shall not terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises or any portion thereof and, until Landlord does elect to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall continue in full force and Landlord may pursue all its
remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to recover from Tenant as they become due hereunder all Rent and other charges required to be paid by Tenant under the terms of this Lease. 

24.8          All rights, options, and remedies of Landlord contained
in this Lease shall be construed and held to be nonexclusive and cumulative. Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law, whether or not stated in this Lease. No
waiver of any default of Tenant hereunder shall be implied from any acceptance by Landlord of any rent or other payments due hereunder or by any omission by Landlord to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is
repeated, and no express waiver shall affect defaults other than as specified in said waiver. 

24.9          Termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to
possession by Landlord shall not relieve Tenant from any liability to Landlord which has theretofore accrued or shall arise based upon events which occurred prior to the last to occur of (i) the date of Lease termination or (ii) the date
possession of Premises is surrendered. 
 24.10        Landlord shall
not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such
obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty
(30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. 

24.11        In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will
give notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee of a mortgage covering the Premises whose address shall have been furnished to Tenant, and such beneficiary and/or mortgagee shall have a reasonable
opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Premises by a judicial action if such should prove necessary to effect a cure, so long as such beneficiary and/or mortgagee acts within the same time limits afforded
Landlord in Section 24.10. 

  
 24 

	 	25.	 Assignment or Subletting. 

 25.1    Except as hereinafter provided, Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, sell, hypothecate or transfer this Lease, or sublet the Premises or any part
thereof, or permit or suffer the Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied as work space, storage space, concession or otherwise by anyone other than Tenant or Tenant’s employees and contractors, without the prior written consent of
Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

25.2    If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises to any
entity into which Tenant is merged, with which Tenant is consolidated, which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or which is an affiliate of Tenant (each a “Permitted Transferee”), Landlord’s consent
shall not be required, provided that the Permitted Transferee executes, acknowledges and delivers to Landlord an agreement whereby the Permitted Transferee agrees to be bound by all of the covenants and agreements in this Lease arising after the
effective date of the transfer. 
 25.3    In the event Tenant desires to assign, sublease,
hypothecate or otherwise transfer this Lease or sublet the Premises to someone other than a Permitted Transferee, then at least ten (10) days, but not more than one hundred eighty (180) days, prior to the date when Tenant desires the
assignment or sublease to be effective (the “Assignment Date”). Tenant shall give Landlord a notice (the “Assignment Notice”) which shall set forth the name, address and business of the proposed assignee or
sublessee, information (including references and financial statements) concerning the financial ability of the proposed assignee or sublessee, the Assignment Date, any ownership or commercial relationship between Tenant and the proposed assignee or
sublessee, and the consideration and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease, all in such detail as Landlord shall reasonably require. 

25.4    Landlord in making its determination as to whether consent should be given to a proposed
assignment or sublease, may give consideration to whether or not the proposed assignee or subtenant has the financial strength to satisfy the obligations contemplated by this Lease (with consideration of assignor remaining liable for Tenant’s
performance), and any use which such successor proposes to make of the Premises. If Landlord fails to deliver written notice of its determination to Tenant within ten (10) days following receipt of the Assignment Notice and the information
required under Section 25.3, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the request. As a condition to any assignment or sublease of the entire Premises to which Landlord has given consent, any such assignee or sublessee must execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an agreement whereby the assignee or sublessee agrees to be bound by all of the covenants and agreements in this Lease (except, in the case of a sublease, the payment of Basic Annual Rent). 

25.5    Any sale, assignment, hypothecation or transfer of this Lease or subletting of Premises that
is not in compliance with the provisions of this Article 25 shall be void and shall, at the option of Landlord, be a breach of this Lease. 

  
 25 

 25.6    The consent by Landlord to an assignment or
subletting shall not relieve Tenant or any assignee of this Lease or sublessee of the Premises from obtaining the consent of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting or as releasing Tenant or any assignee or sublessee of Tenant from full and
primary liability. 
 25.7    If Tenant sublets 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 subletting of all or a part of the Premises, and Landlord as assignee of 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, until the occurrence of an act of default by Tenant by failing to pay Basic Annual Rent and Operating Expenses for two
(2) consecutive months, Tenant shall have the right to collect, enjoy and dispose of such rent. 

25.8    Notwithstanding any subletting or assignment, Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable
for the payment of all Rent and other sums due, or to become due hereunder, and for the full performance of all other terms, conditions, and covenants to be kept and performed by Tenant. The acceptance of rent or any other sum due hereunder, or the
acceptance of performance of any other term, covenant, or condition hereof, 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 or assignment of the Premises.
Landlord shall not withhold consent to an assignment back to the original Tenant hereunder from a subsequent assignee. 
 25.9    Any sublease of the Premises shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of this Lease, shall not extend beyond the term of this Lease, and shall provide that the
sublessee shall attorn to Landlord, at Landlord’s sole option, in the event of the termination of this Lease. Landlord and any lender shall upon Tenant’s request provide any subtenant of the entirety of the Premises with a recognition and
non-disturbance agreement in the form set forth in Article 35 hereof on the condition that the sublessee agrees to attorn to Landlord on terms and conditions materially the same as the ones contained in this Lease. 

25.10  In the event Tenant assigns or otherwise transfers this Lease or sublets the Premises to a transferee
other than one set forth in Section 25.2, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, fifty percent (50%) of the rent and other consideration received from the transferee during the initial and any extended term of this Lease in
excess of Rent payable to Landlord under this Lease, after Tenant has recouped any reasonable commission, legal, improvement and other out-of-pocket expenses occasioned by such transfer and payable to third parties, and after Tenant has recouped any
capital costs incurred by Tenant for any improvements to the transferred space after the Term Commencement Date. 
  

	 	26.	 Attorney’s Fees. 

 26.1          If either party becomes a party to any action or proceeding concerning this Lease, the Premises, or the Building or Project in which the
Premises are located, by reason of any act or omission of the other party or its authorized representatives, and not by any act or omission of the party that becomes a party to that litigation or any act or omission of its authorized

  
 26 

 
representatives, the party that causes the other party to become involved in the litigation shall be liable to that party for reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, and court costs
incurred by it in the litigation. 
 26.2          If either
party commences an action or proceeding against the other party arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to have and recover from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees and
costs of suit. 
  

	 	27.	 Bankruptcy. 

 27.1          In the event a debtor or trustee under the Bankruptcy Code, or other person with similar rights, duties and powers under any other law,
proposes to cure any default under this Lease or to assume or assign this Lease, and is obliged to provide adequate assurance to Landlord that (i) a default will be cured, (ii) Landlord will be compensated for its damages arising from any
breach of this Lease, or (iii) future performance under this Lease will occur, then adequate assurance shall include any or all of the following, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court: (a) those acts specified in the Bankruptcy Code or
other law as included within the meaning of adequate assurance; (b) a cash payment to compensate Landlord for any monetary defaults or damages arising from a breach of this Lease; (c) the credit worthiness and desirability, as a tenant, of the
person assuming this Lease or receiving an assignment of this Lease, at least equal to Landlord’s customary and usual credit worthiness requirements and desirability standards in effect at the time of the assumption or assignment, as determined
by the Bankruptcy Court; and (d) the assumption or assignment of all of Tenant’s interest and obligations under this Lease. 
  

	 	28.	 Definition of Landlord. 

 28.1          The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord are concerned, shall
be limited to mean and include only Landlord or the successor-in-interest of Landlord under this Lease at the time in question. In the event of any transfer, assignment or conveyance of Landlord’s title or leasehold, the Landlord herein named
(and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor and any prior grantors) shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer, assignment or conveyance of all liability for the performance of
any covenants or obligations contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed by Landlord and, without further agreement, the transferee of such title or leasehold shall be deemed to have assumed and agreed to observe and perform any and all
obligations of Landlord hereunder, during its ownership of the Premises. Landlord may transfer its interest in the Premises or this Lease without the consent of Tenant and such transfer or subsequent transfer shall not be deemed a violation on the
part of Landlord or the then grantor of any of the terms or conditions of this Lease. 

  
 27 

	 	29.	 Estoppel Certificate. 

 29.1          Each party shall, within fifteen (15) days of written notice from the other party, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other party
a statement in writing on a form reasonably requested by a proposed lender, purchaser, assignee or subtenant (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, to each party’s knowledge, any uncured defaults
on the part of Landlord or Tenant hereunder (or specifying such defaults if any are claimed) and (iii) setting forth such further information with respect to this Lease or the Premises as may be reasonably requested thereon. Any such statement
may be relied upon by any prospective lender, purchaser, assignee or subtenant of all or any portion of the Premises. 
  

	 	30.	 Removal of Property. 

 30.1          Except as provided below, all trade fixtures and other personal property placed within the Premises at Tenant’s cost and expense (and
not at the cost and expense of Landlord) shall be and remain the property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant at the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease. 

30.2      All improvements, fixtures and personal property presently existing in the
Premises or later installed at Landlord’s expense, and any other improvements made to the Premises at Landlord’s expense and cost, shall be and remain the property of Landlord, and upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof. 

30.3      Notwithstanding Section 30.1, Tenant may not remove any property if such
removal would cause material damage to the Premises, unless such damage can be and is repaired by Tenant. Furthermore, Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by Tenant’s removal of any such property, and shall, prior to the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, restore and return the Premises to the condition they were in when first occupied by Tenant (modified by any other work approved by Landlord), reasonable wear and tear excepted. At a minimum, even if
they are determined to be fixtures or personal property owned by Tenant, Tenant shall leave in place and repair any damage to the interior floors, walls, doors and ceilings of the Building, and the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing,
and electrical systems; all such property shall become the property of Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof. The provisions of Article 17
shall apply to any restoration work under this Article as if the restoration was an alteration, addition or improvement thereunder. Should Tenant require any period beyond the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease to complete such
restoration, Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance subject to the provisions of Section 12.2 hereof. 

30.4          If Tenant shall fail to remove any fixtures or personal
property which it is entitled to remove under this Article 30 from the Premises prior to termination of this Lease, then Landlord may dispose of the property under the provisions of Section 1980 et seq. of the California Civil Code, as such
provisions may be modified from time to time, or under any other applicable provisions of California law. 

  
 28 

	 	31.	 Limitation of Landlord’s Liability. 

31.1          Tenant agrees that, in the event of any breach or
default hereunder by Landlord, Tenant’s recourse against Landlord for monetary damages will be limited to Landlord’s interest in the Project, Landlord’s interest in the rents or other income of the Project, consideration received from
the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Landlord’s right, title and interest in the Project, and any insurance proceeds payable to Landlord (but not those payable to a mortgagee). 

31.2          Landlord shall not be personally liable for any
deficiency except to the extent liability is based upon willful and intentional misconduct. If Landlord is a partnership or joint venture, the partners of such partnership shall not be personally liable and no partner of Landlord shall be sued or
named as a party in any suit or action, or service of process be made against any partner of Landlord, except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction of the partnership or joint venture or to the extent liability is caused by willful and
intentional misconduct. If Landlord is a corporation, the shareholders, directors, officers, employees, and/or agents of such corporation shall not be personally liable and no shareholder, director, officer, employee, or agent of Landlord shall be
sued or named as a party in any suit or action, or service of process be made against any shareholder, director, officer, employee, or agent of Landlord, except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction of the corporation. If Landlord is a limited
liability company, the members, managers, officers, employees, and/or agents of such limited liability company shall not be personally liable and no member, manager, officer, employee, or agent of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party in any
suit or action, or service of process be made against any member, manager, officer, employee, or agent of Landlord, except as maybe necessary to secure jurisdiction of the corporation. No partner, shareholder, director, member, manager, employee, or
agent of Landlord shall be required to answer or otherwise plead to any service of process and no judgment will be taken or writ of execution levied against any partner, shareholder, director, member, manager, employee, or agent of Landlord.

 31.3          Each of the covenants and agreements of this
Article 31 shall be applicable to any covenant or agreement either expressly contained in this Lease or imposed by statute or by common law. 
  

	 	32.	 Control by Landlord. 

 32.1          Landlord reserves full control over the Building and Project to the extent not inconsistent with Tenant’s quiet enjoyment and use of
Premises and non-exclusive use of the Common Areas. This reservation includes the right to establish ownership of the buildings separate from fee title to the real property underlying the Buildings, and to divide the Project into more than one lot.

 32.2          Tenant shall, should Landlord so request,
promptly join with Landlord in execution of such documents as may be appropriate to assist Landlord to implement any such action provided Tenant need not execute any document which is of a nature wherein liability is created in Tenant or if by
reason of the terms of such document Tenant will be deprived of the quiet enjoyment and use of the Premises and non-exclusive use of the Common Areas as granted by this Lease. 

  
 29 

	 	33.	 Quiet Enjoyment. 

 33.1          So long as Tenant is not in default, Landlord covenants that Landlord or anyone acting through or under Landlord will not disturb
Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises except as permitted by the provisions of this Lease and that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to enforce the lease obligations of tenants of the balance of the Building and Project to the extent they
might otherwise disturb Tenant’s occupancy and non-exclusive use of the Common Areas. 
  

	 	34.	 [Intentionally Left Blank] 

  

	 	35.	 Subordination and Attornment. 

35.1          Unless the mortgagee or beneficiary elects otherwise at
any time prior to or following a default by Tenant, this Lease shall be subject to and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter in force against the Project and Building of which the Premises are a part, and to all
advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination, provided that the lienholder, beneficiary, or
mortgagee has previously executed and delivered to Tenant a non-disturbance, attornment, and subordination agreement in such form as the lienholder, beneficiary, or mortgagee may request and as Tenant may approve, which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld, setting forth that so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant’s rights and obligations hereunder shall remain in force and Tenant’s right to possession shall be upheld. Furthermore, Landlord shall provide
to Tenant, within forty-five (45) days after execution of this Lease by both parties, such a nondisturbance agreement from the beneficiary of any mortgage presently encumbering the Project. 

35.2          Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall execute and
deliver upon demand such further instrument or instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust as may be required by Landlord and in a form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, provided that
the lienholder, beneficiary, or mortgagee has previously executed and delivered to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement in recordable form. However, if any such mortgagee or beneficiary so elects at any time prior to or following a default by Tenant,
this Lease shall be deemed prior in lien to any such mortgage or deed of trust regardless of date and Tenant will execute a statement in writing to such effect at Landlord’s request in a form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant. 

35.3          In the event any proceedings are brought for
foreclosure, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord covering the Premises, Tenant shall at the election of the purchaser at such foreclosure or sale attorn to the purchaser upon any
such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease in accordance with the terms of the non-disturbance agreement. 

  
 30 

	 	36.	 Surrender. 

 36.1          No surrender of possession of any part of the Premises shall release Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder unless accepted by
Landlord. 
 36.2          The voluntary or other surrender
of this Lease by Tenant shall not work a merger, unless Landlord consents, and shall, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to it of any or all subleases or subtenancies. 

 

	 	37.	 Waiver and Modification. 

 37.1          No provision of this Lease may be modified, amended or added to except by an agreement in writing. The waiver by Landlord of any breach of
any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. 

 

	 	38.	 Waiver of Jury Trial. 

 38.1          The parties hereto shall and they hereby do waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties
hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, and/or any claim of injury or damage. 

 

	 	39.	 Hazardous Material. 

 39.1    During the term, Tenant, at its sole cost, shall comply with all federal, state and local laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, regulations and orders relating to the receiving,
handling, use, storage, accumulation, transportation, generation, spillage, migration, discharge, release and disposal of Hazardous Material (as defined below) in or about the Premises. Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be
brought upon, kept or used in or about the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, invitees or subtenants, in a manner or for a purpose prohibited by any federal, state or local agency or authority. The accumulation of Hazardous
Material shall be in approved containers and removed from the Premises by duly licensed carriers. 

39.2    Tenant shall immediately provide Landlord with telephonic notice, which shall promptly be
confirmed by written notice, of any and all spillage, discharge, release and disposal of Hazardous Material onto or within the Premises of which Tenant becomes aware, including the soils and subsurface waters thereof, which by law must be reported
to any federal, state or local agency, and any injuries or damages resulting directly or indirectly therefrom. Further, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord each and every notice or order, when said order or notice identifies a violation which may have
the potential to adversely impact the Premises, received from any federal, state or local agency concerning Hazardous Material and the possession, use and/or accumulation thereof promptly upon receipt of each such notice or order by Tenant. Landlord
shall have the right, upon reasonable notice, to inspect and copy each and every notice or order received from any federal, state or local agency concerning Hazardous Material and the possession, use and/or accumulation thereof. 

  
 31 

 39.3    Tenant shall be responsible for and shall
indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord’s Indemnitees from any and all liability, damages, injuries, causes of action, claims, judgments, costs, penalties, fines, losses, and expenses which arise during or after the
term of this Lease and which result from Tenant’s (or from Tenant’s Indemnitees, assignees, subtenants, employees, agents, contractors, licensees, or invitees) receiving, handling, use, storage, accumulation, transportation, generation,
spillage, migration, discharge, release or disposal of Hazardous Material in, upon or about the Premises, including without limitation (i) diminution in value of the Premises or any portion of the Project, (ii) damages for the loss or
restriction on use of any portion or amenity of the Premises or Project, (iii) damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of space in the Premises or the Project, (iv) damages and the costs of remedial work to other property in
the vicinity of the Project owned by Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord, and (v) consultant fees, expert fees, and attorneys’ fees. Landlord shall be responsible for and shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Tenant on the
same basis as above for any claims which result from Landlord’s or from Landlord’s Indemnitees receiving, handling, use, storage, accumulation, transportation, generation, spillage, migration, discharge, release or disposal of Hazardous
Material in, upon or about the Project. 
 39.4    The indemnification obligations pursuant
to the preceding Section 39.3 includes, without limiting the generality of Section 39.3, reasonable costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work required by
any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision because of Hazardous Material present in the soil, subsoil, ground water, or elsewhere on, under or about the Premises, or on, under or about any other property in the vicinity
of the Project owned by Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material on the Premises caused or permitted by Tenant results in any contamination of the Premises, or underlying soil or
groundwater, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense as are necessary to return the Premises to that condition required by applicable law, provided that Landlord’s approval of such action shall first be obtained, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s prior approval of any action of an emergency nature reasonably required or any action mandated by a governmental authority, but Tenant
shall give Landlord prompt notice thereof. 
 39.5    Landlord acknowledges that it is not
the intent of this Article 39 to prohibit Tenant from operating its business as described in Article 10 or to unreasonably interfere with the operation of Tenant’s business. Tenant may operate its business according to the custom of the
industry so long as the use or presence of Hazardous Material is strictly and properly monitored according to all applicable governmental requirements. Any approval or consent required by this Section 39.5 shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. 
 39.6    As a material inducement to Landlord to allow Tenant to
use Hazardous Material in connection with its business, Tenant agrees to provide to Landlord a list identifying each type of Hazardous Material to be present in or about the Premises and setting forth all governmental approvals or permits required
in connection with the presence of Hazardous Material in or about the Premises (“Hazardous Material Inventory”). Tenant shall deliver a Hazardous Material Inventory to Landlord (i) no later than thirty (30) days prior to
the occupancy of any portion of the Premises or the placement of equipment anywhere on the Project, (ii) annually thereafter no later than December 31 of each year, and (iii) thirty (30) days prior to the initiation by Tenant of
any changes in the Premises 

  
 32 

 
or elsewhere on the Project which involve any increase in the types or amounts of Hazardous Material. For each type of Hazardous Material listed, the Hazardous Material Inventory shall include
the (i) chemical name; (ii) material state (solid, liquid, gas, cryogen); (iii) concentration; (iv) storage amount and storage condition (cabinets or no cabinets); (v) use amount and use condition (open use or closed use);
(vi) location (room number/identification); and (vii) chemical abstract service (CAS) number, if known. Landlord may at Tenant’s expense cause each Hazardous Material Inventory to be reviewed by a person or firm qualified to analyze
Hazardous Material and acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant to confirm compliance with the provisions of this Lease and with applicable building and fire code requirements. In the event that a review of Tenant’s Hazardous Material Inventory
indicates non-compliance with this Lease or applicable building and fire code requirements, Tenant shall at its expense diligently take steps to bring its storage and use of Hazardous Material into compliance. 

39.7    Tenant further agrees to make available to Landlord, upon Landlord’s reasonable
request, true and correct copies of the following documents (“Hazardous Material Documents”): governmental approvals or permits required in connection with the presence of Hazardous Material on the Premises; a copy of the Hazardous
Material business plan prepared pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 25500 et seq.; documents relating to the handling, storage, disposal and emission of Hazardous Material, including: permits; approvals; reports and correspondence;
notice of violations of any laws; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in or under the Premises (provided said installation of tanks shall be permitted only after Landlord has given Tenant its written consent to do
so, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld); and all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all federal, state and local governmental agencies and authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on or about the Premises for
the closure of any such tanks. Tenant shall not be required, however, to provide Landlord with that portion of any document which contains information of a proprietary nature and which, in and of itself, does not contain a reference to any Hazardous
Material which is not otherwise identified to Landlord in such documentation, unless any such Hazardous Material Document names Landlord as an “owner” or “operator” of the facility in which Tenant is conducting its business. It
is not the intent of this subsection to provide Landlord with information which could be detrimental to Tenant’s business should such information become possessed by Tenant’s competitors. Landlord shall treat all information furnished by
Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Article 39 as confidential and shall not disclose such information to any person or entity, except as provided in this Article 39, without Tenant’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, except as required by law. 
 39.8    Notwithstanding
other provisions of this Article 39, it shall be a default under this Lease, and Landlord shall have the right to terminate the Lease and/or pursue its other remedies under Article 24, in the event that (i) Tenant’s use of the Premises for
the generation, storage, use, treatment or disposal of Hazardous Material is in a manner or for a purpose prohibited by applicable law unless Tenant is diligently pursuing compliance with such law, (ii) Tenant has been required by any
governmental authority to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Material contaminating the Premises if the contamination resulted from Tenant’s action or use of the Premises, unless Tenant is diligently pursuing compliance with such
requirement, or (iii) Tenant is subject to an enforcement order issued by any governmental authority in connection with Tenant’s use, disposal or storage of a Hazardous Material on the Premises, unless Tenant is diligently seeking
compliance with such enforcement order. 

  
 33 

 39.9    Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 25,
if (i) any anticipated use of the Premises by a proposed assignee or subtenant involves the generation or storage, use, treatment or disposal of Hazardous Material in any manner or for a purpose prohibited by any applicable law, (ii) the
proposed assignee or sublessee has been required by any governmental authority to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Material contaminating a property if the contamination resulted from such party’s action or use of the property
in question and has failed to take such action, or (iii) the proposed assignee or sublessee is subject to a final, unappealable enforcement order issued by any governmental authority in connection with such party’s use, disposal or storage
of Hazardous Material of a type such proposed assignee or sublessee intends to use in the Premises and shall have failed to comply with such order, it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting to
such proposed assignee or sublessee. 
 39.10  Landlord represents that, to the best of its
knowledge, as of the date of this Lease, there is no Hazardous Material on the Premises. Landlord shall provide Tenant with the environmental site assessment for the Premises dated February 25, 2004, and prepared by Occupational Services, Inc.
Should the environmental site assessment disclose the presence of Hazardous Material beyond legally permissible levels, Landlord shall correct the deficiencies to Tenant’s reasonable satisfaction and shall cause updates to the environmental
site assessment(s) to be issued reflecting the remedy. The environmental site assessment and all updates thereto are hereinafter referred to as the “Base Line Report,” and shall be deemed conclusive as to the condition of the
Premises, unless, within ninety (90) days of receipt, Tenant causes an inspection of its own to be conducted, which inspection discloses the presence of Hazardous Material materially different from that disclosed in the Base Line Report.

 39.11  Landlord shall not have the right to enter upon the Premises without the prior consent of
Tenant, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant agrees that it is reasonable for Landlord to enter the Premises at reasonable intervals in order to conduct appropriate tests regarding the presence, use and storage of Hazardous Material, and
to inspect Tenant’s records with regard thereto. All entries shall be subject to Tenant’s security and safety procedures. Tenant will pay the reasonable costs of any such test which demonstrates that contamination in excess of permissible
levels has occurred and such contamination was caused by Tenant’s use of the Premises during the term of the Lease. Tenant shall correct any deficiencies identified in any such tests in accordance with its obligations under this Article 39 to
the extent the result of Tenant’s use of the Premises during the term of this Lease. 

39.12  Tenant shall at its own expense cause an environmental site assessment of the Premises to be conducted
and a report thereof delivered to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, such report to be as complete and broad in scope as is necessary to identify any impact on the Premises Tenant’s operations might have had
(hereinafter referred to as the “Exit Report”). In order to facilitate the Exit Report, Tenant shall install a sampling port on the sewer drain from the Premises. Tenant shall correct any deficiencies identified in the Exit Report
in accordance with its obligations under this Article 39 prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. This Article 39 is the exclusive provision in this Lease regarding clean-up, repairs or maintenance arising from receiving,
handling, use, storage, accumulation, transportation, generation, spillage, migration, discharge, release or disposal of Hazardous Material in, upon or about the Premises, and the provisions of Articles 7, 10, 18, and 20 shall not apply thereto.

  
 34 

 39.13  Tenant’s obligations under this Article 39 shall
survive the termination of the Lease. 
 39.14  As used herein, the term “Hazardous
Material” means any hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste which is or becomes regulated by any local governmental authority, the State of California or the United States Government. The term “Hazardous Material”
includes, without limitation, any material or substance which is (i) defined as a “hazardous waste,” “extremely hazardous waste” or “restricted hazardous waste” under Sections 25515,25117 or 25122.7, or listed
pursuant to Section 25140, of the California Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.5 (Hazardous Waste Control Law), (ii) defined as a “hazardous substance” under Section 25316 of the California Health and Safety
Code, Division 2, Chapter 6.8 (Carpenter-Presly-Tanner Hazardous Substance Account Act), (iii) defined as a “hazardous material,” hazardous substance” or “hazardous waste” under Section 25501 of the California
Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.95 (Hazardous Substances), (v) petroleum, (vi) asbestos, (vii) listed under Article 9 and defined as hazardous or extremely hazardous pursuant to Article 11 of Title 22 of the California
Administrative Code, Division 4, Chapter 20, (viii) designated as a “hazardous substance” pursuant to Section 311 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. Section 1317), (ix) defined as a “hazardous
waste” pursuant to Section 1004 of the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901, et. seq. (42 U.S.C. Section 6903), or (x) defined as a “hazardous substance” pursuant to
Section 101 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et. seq. (42 U.S.C. Section 9601). 
  

	 	40.	 Extension of Term of Lease. 

40.1          Landlord hereby grants to Tenant two (2) options
(each referred to herein as the “Option” or “Options” as appropriate) to extend the term of this Lease for an additional term of five (5) years each (each referred to as an “Extension”, and
collectively “Extensions”) on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, except that Basic Annual Rent shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 40.4 below. 

40.2          Each Option shall be exercised only by written notice
delivered to Landlord at least nine (9) months but not more than fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the initial term or first Extension. If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord written notice of the exercise of the Option within
the prescribed time period, the Option shall lapse, and there shall be no further right to extend the term of this Lease. 
 40.3          Tenant shall not have the right to exercise either Option, notwithstanding anything set forth above to the contrary, (a) During the
time commencing from the date Landlord gives to Tenant a written notice that Tenant is in default under any provision of this Lease and continuing until the default alleged in said notice is cured; (b) During the period of time commencing on
the day after a monetary obligation to Landlord is due from Tenant and unpaid without any necessity for notice thereof to Tenant and continuing until the obligation is paid; or (c) After the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or
any extended term. The period of time within which 

  
 35 

 
either Option maybe exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise the Option because of the foregoing provisions. At the election of Landlord, all
rights of Tenant under the provisions of this Article 40 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant’s due and timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement of the Extension,
(1) Tenant fails to pay to Landlord a monetary obligation of Tenant for a period of thirty (30) days after such obligation becomes due (without necessity of Landlord to give notice to Tenant), or (2) Tenant fails to commence to cure a
default within thirty (30) days after the date Landlord gives notice to Tenant of such default. 

40.4          The Basic Annual Rent payable at the commencement of
each Extension shall be 103% of the Basic Annual Rent payable during the last year of the initial term or the first extended term, as the case may be. The Basic Annual Rent as adjusted at the commencement of each Extension shall be increased each
year thereafter by three percent (3%) on each anniversary of the date of the commencement of each Extension for so long as this Lease continues in effect. 
  

	 	41.	 Right of First Refusal to Lease Additional Space. 

41.1     If at any time during the term of this Lease Landlord determines to lease all or any
part of the other space in the Project, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant (“Right of First Refusal Notice”) of the economic terms and conditions on which Landlord would be willing to lease all or any part of such space.
If Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s Right of First Refusal Notice, agrees in writing to lease all or any part of such space on the terms and conditions stated in the notice, Landlord shall lease the space to
Tenant on the economic terms and conditions stated in the notice. 
 41.2     If
Tenant does not agree in writing to lease all or any part of the space within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s Right of First Refusal Notice, or if Landlord and Tenant have not entered into a lease agreement within thirty
(30) days thereafter, Landlord shall have the right to lease the space to a third party on economic terms and conditions no more favorable than the economic terms and conditions stated in the Right of First Refusal Notice. If Landlord does not
lease such space to the prospective tenant within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Right of First Refusal Notice, any lease transaction thereafter shall be deemed a new determination by Landlord to lease the space and the provisions of
this Section shall again be applicable. 
 41.3     The Right of First Refusal herein
granted to Tenant is not assignable separate and apart from this Lease. 

41.4     Tenant shall not have the right to exercise the Right of First Refusal,
notwithstanding anything set forth above to the contrary: (a) During the time commencing from the date Landlord gives to Tenant a written notice that Tenant is in default under any provision of this Lease and continuing until the default
alleged in said notice is cured; (b) During the period of time commencing on the day after a monetary obligation to Landlord is due from Tenant and unpaid without any necessity for notice thereof to Tenant and continuing until the obligation is
paid; or (c) After the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 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 because of the foregoing provisions. At the election of Landlord, 

  
 36 

 
all rights of Tenant under the provisions of this Article 41 shall 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 execution of said lease, (1) Tenant fails to pay to Landlord a monetary obligation of Tenant for a period of thirty (30) days after such obligation becomes due (without necessity of Landlord to
give notice to Tenant), or (2) Tenant fails to commence to cure a default within thirty (30) days after the date Landlord gives notice to Tenant of such default. 

41.5    The Right of First Refusal is continuing, in that if Tenant fails to exercise the Right of
First Refusal with regard to any particular space, the Right of First Refusal shall nevertheless apply to that particular space if Landlord determines to lease all or any part of such space at any later time, and to any other space which Landlord
determines to lease in the Building. 
 41.6    The Right of First Refusal shall not apply
to space leased by a Tenant of the Project pursuant to an option or right of first refusal granted in a lease executed prior to this Lease. 
  

	 	42.	 Miscellaneous. 

 42.1          Terms and Headings.    Where applicable in this Lease, the singular includes the plural and the masculine

Lease are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement with respect to the terms as are included herein, and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement.

Lease which shall prove to be invalid, void, or illegal in no way affects, impairs or invalidates any other provision hereof, and such other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

 42.11          Force
Majeure.  If either party cannot perform any of its obligations (other than Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent), or is delayed in such performance (other than Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent), due to events beyond such

 Exhibit 10.11.1 
 FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE 
 THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE (this
“First Amendment”) is made as of November 1, 2011, by and between ARE-SD REGION NO. 18, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and BIOCEPT, INC., a California corporation
(“Tenant”). 
 RECITALS 

A.        Landlord and Tenant are now parties to that certain Lease dated as
of March 31, 2004 (the “Lease”). Pursuant to the Lease, Tenant leases certain premises consisting of approximately 38,369 square feet of Rentable Area (“Original Premises”) in a building located at 5810 Nancy
Ridge Drive, San Diego, California (“Building”). The Original Premises are more particularly described in the Lease. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings defined for such terms in the Lease.

 B.        Landlord and Tenant desire, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth below, to amend the Lease to, among other things, (i) expand the size of the Original Premises by adding approximately 9,849 square feet of Rentable Area in the Building, and (ii) extend the base term of the Lease
through October 31, 2018. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, which are
incorporated herein by this reference, the mutual promises and conditions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

  

	1.	 Expansion Premises.  In addition to the Original Premises, commencing on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date (as defined
below), Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, that certain portion of the first floor of the Building known as Suite 100, consisting of approximately 9,849 square feet of Rentable Area, as shown on Exhibit A attached
hereto (the “Expansion Premises”). 

  

	2.	 Delivery.  Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver full possession of the Expansion Premises to Tenant for the
construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Expansion Premises on or before the Target Expansion Premises Commencement Date (“Delivery” or “Deliver”). If Landlord fails to timely Deliver the Expansion Premises,
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and the Lease with respect to the Expansion Premises shall not be void or voidable except as provided herein. If Landlord does not Deliver the Expansion Premises
within 90 days of the Target Expansion Premises Commencement Date for any reason other than Force Majeure delays and delays caused by Tenant, the provisions of this First Amendment with respect to the Expansion Premises only (including without
limitation Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5(ii), 6(b), 7 and 8 of this First Amendment) (collectively, the “Expansion Premises Provisions”), may be terminated by Tenant by written notice to Landlord, and if so terminated, neither Landlord nor
Tenant shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under the Expansion Premises Provisions of this First Amendment; provided, however, all terms, conditions and provisions of this First Amendment other than the Expansion Premises Provisions
shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect, except that Section 6(d) and Section 5(b) of the Work Letter shall be revised to provide for a maximum TI Allowance of $959,225 in the aggregate. As used herein, the term
“Tenant Improvements” shall have the meaning set forth for such term in the Work Letter attached to this First Amendment as Exhibit B. If Tenant does not elect to void the Expansion Premises Provisions of this First
Amendment within 5 business days of the lapse of such 90 day period, such right to void the Expansion Premises Provisions of this First Amendment shall be waived and all provisions of this First Amendment shall remain in full force and effect.

  

			
		  	 

 1 

 The “Expansion Premises Commencement Date” shall be the date
that Landlord delivers the Expansion Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s Work (as defined below) substantially completed provided that in no event shall the Expansion Premises Commencement Date occur prior to the Target Expansion Premises
Commencement Date. The “Target Expansion Premises Commencement Date” shall be May 1, 2013. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver a written acknowledgment of the Expansion Premises Commencement Date and the
expiration date of the Lease in a form substantially similar to the form of the “Acknowledgement of Commencement Date” attached to this First Amendment as Exhibit C; provided, however, Tenant’s failure to execute
and deliver such acknowledgment shall not affect Landlord’s rights hereunder. As used herein, “Landlord’s Work” shall mean the work required in the Building, as reasonably determined by Landlord and agreed upon by Tenant,
required to connect the Original Premises with the Expansion Premises. Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to prepare plans and a budget for Landlord’s Work mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, each in their reasonable
discretion. The cost of Landlord’s Work, up to $5.00 per rentable square foot of the Expansion Premises (“Landlord Work Cap”) shall be paid for by Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible for the costs of Landlord’s Work in
excess of the Landlord Work Cap and shall reimburse Landlord for such costs of Landlord’s Work in excess of the Landlord Work Cap within 10 days after delivery to Tenant of an invoice therefor. Landlord and its contractors and agents shall have
the right to enter the Original Premises to complete Landlord’s Work and Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in connection with the same. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s completion of Landlord’s Work may adversely affect
Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Original Premises. Tenant waives all claims against Landlord in connection with Landlord’s Work including, without limitation, claims for rent abatement. During Landlord’s construction of
Landlord’s Work, provided that Tenant does not interfere with Landlord’s Work, Tenant shall be permitted to access the Expansion Premises to construct any desired Tenant Improvements, to install Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, cabling
and equipment, and to generally prepare the Expansion Premises for Tenant’s occupancy. Upon any interference with Landlord’s Work by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to exclude Tenant from the Premises until substantial completion of
Landlord’s Work. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant shall not be
required to remove any improvements located in the Original Premises as of the date of this First Amendment or located in the Expansion Premises as of the Expansion Premises Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may, at the time
its approval of any Tenant Improvements is requested, notify Tenant that Landlord requires that Tenant remove such Tenant Improvements upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, in which event Tenant shall remove such Tenant
Improvements upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, at Tenant’s cost. 
 Except as set forth
in this First Amendment or in the Work Letter: (i) Tenant shall accept the Expansion Premises in their condition as of the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, subject to all applicable Legal Requirements; (ii) Landlord shall have no
obligation for any defects in the Expansion Premises; and (iii) Tenant’s taking possession of the Expansion Premises shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the Expansion Premises and that the Expansion Premises were in good
condition at the time possession was taken. 
 Tenant agrees and acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent
of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the condition of all or any portion of the Expansion Premises, and/or the suitability of the Expansion Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and Tenant waives any
implied warranty that the Expansion Premises are suitable for the Permitted Use. 
  

	3.	 Definition of Premises.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, as of the Expansion Premises
Commencement Date, the defined term “Premises,” as used in the 

  

			
		  	 

 2 

	 	 
Lease, shall mean the entire Building, consisting of approximately 48,218 square feet of Rentable Area. 

As of the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, Exhibit B to the Lease shall be amended to include the Expansion
Premises as shown on Exhibit A attached to this First Amendment. 
  

	4.	 Address of Tenant’s Building.  Commencing on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, the defined term “Address
of Tenant’s Building” in the Basic Lease Provisions shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 

 “Address of Tenant’s Building: 
 5810 Nancy Ridge Drive, San
Diego, California 92122” 
  

	5.	 Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the base term of the Lease (“Base Term”) shall be
the period beginning (i) with respect to the Original Premises, on the Term Commencement Date, and (ii) with respect to the Expansion Premises, on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, and ending with respect to the entire Premises on
October 31, 2018 (“Term Expiration Date”). 

  

	6.	 Basic Annual Rent. 

 a.        Original Premises.  Tenant shall continue to pay Annual Basic Rent for the Original Premises as provided for in the Lease through
October 31, 2011. So long as no event of default by Tenant has occurred or is continuing under the Lease (beyond any applicable notice or cure periods), Tenant shall not be required to pay Basic Annual Rent for the Original Premises for the
period commencing November 1, 2011, through March 31, 2012. Commencing on April 1, 2012, Tenant shall commence paying Basic Annual Rent for the Original Premises at the rate of $2.00 per square foot of Rentable Area of the Original
Premises per month. 
 b.        Expansion
Premises.  Commencing on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Basic Annual Rent for the Expansion Premises at the same rate per square foot that Tenant is then paying for the Original Premises, as increased
pursuant to Section 6(c) below. 

c.        Annual Rent Adjustments.  Basic
Annual Rent shall be increased on November 1, 2012, and on each November 1st thereafter during the Base Term of the Lease (each an “Adjustment Date”) by multiplying the Basic Annual Rent payable immediately before such Adjustment Date by 3% (“Rent Adjustment
Percentage”) and adding the resulting amount to the Basic Annual Rent payable immediately before such Adjustment Date. Basic Annual Rent, as so adjusted, shall thereafter be due as provided herein. Adjustments of Basic Annual Rent for any
fractional calendar month shall be prorated. 
 d.        TI Allowance
Adjustments.  Landlord shall, subject to the terms of the Work Letter, make available to Tenant a tenant improvement allowance (“TI Allowance”) for the construction of the Tenant Improvements of up to $25.00 per
rentable square foot of the Premises, or $1,205,450 in the aggregate. In addition to Basic Annual Rent, Tenant shall pay, concurrently with Basic Annual Rent, the amount necessary to fully amortize the portion of the TI Allowance actually funded by
Landlord, if any, in equal monthly payments with interest at a rate of 9% per annum over the remainder of the Base Term (“Tl Rent”). Tenant acknowledges that because the Tl Allowance may be disbursed to Tenant in multiple
phases through October 31, 2013, the TI Rent payable by Tenant pursuant to this Section 6(d) may be adjusted following each such disbursement. The TI Allowance shall only be available for use by Tenant as part of the construction of
the Tenant Improvements, and Tenant shall have no right thereafter to use any undisbursed portion thereof.

	7.	 Rentable Area. Commencing on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, the defined term “Rentable Area” in the
Basic Lease Provisions shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 

 “Rentable Area: Approximately 48,218 square feet” 

The Rentable Area shall not be subject to re-measurement. 

 

	8.	 Tenant’s Pro Rata Share. 

 a.        Commencing on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, the defined term “Tenant’s Pro Rata Share” in the Basic Lease Provisions
shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 
 “Tenant’s Pro Rata Share:
55.23% of the Project” 
 b.        Commencing on the Expansion
Premises Commencement Date, Section 7.3(a) of the Lease shall be deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following: 
 “(a)        ‘Tenant’s Pro Rata Share’ under this Lease shall mean 55.23%, determined by dividing the Rentable Area of the Premises by the
total Rentable Area of the Project.” 
  

	9.	 Early Termination Right. Tenant shall have the right, subject to the provisions of this Section 9, to terminate the Lease
(“Termination Right”) with respect to the entire Premises only as of expiration of October 31, 2016 (“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 February 1, 2016, and (ii) concurrent with Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of the Termination Notice delivers, an early termination
payment equal to (1) the unamortized amount of the TI Allowance provided to Tenant, (2) all of the unamortized leasing commissions paid by Landlord in connection with this First Amendment, and (3) an amount equal to 6 monthly
installments of Basic Annual Rent at the rate payable as of the Early Termination Date (collectively, the “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 except for those accruing prior to the Early
Termination Date and those which, pursuant to the terms of this Lease, survive the expiration or early termination of this Lease. 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 under Section 41 of the Lease at any time after December 31, 2012, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its Termination
Right and the provisions of this Section 9 shall have no further force or effect. 

  

	10.	 Extension of Term of Lease.  Section 40 of the Lease is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the
following: 

 “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 2 consecutive
rights (each, an “Extension Right”) to extend the term of this Lease for 5 years each (each, an “Extension Term”) on the same terms and conditions as this Lease (other than with respect to Basic Annual Rent and the
Work Letter) by giving Landlord written notice of its election to exercise each Extension Right at least 9 months prior, and no earlier than 12 months prior, to the expiration of the Base Term of the Lease or the expiration of any prior Extension
Term. 

  

			
		  	 

 4 

 Upon the commencement of any Extension Term, Annual Basic Rent
shall be payable at the Market Rate (as defined below). Annual Basic 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 for space of comparable size and quality (including all alterations and other improvements) in comparable laboratory buildings in the Sorrento
Mesa area for a comparable term, taking into account all relevant factors, including without limitation tenant inducements, leasing commissions, allowances and/or concessions. 

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 for the first year of the applicable 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
Annual Basic 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 Annual Basic 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 Annual Basic Rent in an amount equal to the Annual Basic 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 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 

  

			
		  	 

 5 

 
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.  Extension Rights are personal to Tenant and are 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 to any Permitted Transferee of this Lease. 

(d)        Exceptions.  Notwithstanding anything
set forth above to the contrary, Extension Rights shall, at Landlord’s option, not be in effect and Tenant may not exercise any of the Extension Rights: 

(i)        during any period of time that Tenant is in default under
any provision of this Lease (beyond all applicable notice and cure periods); 

(ii)        during any period that Tenant (collectively with its
Permitted Transferees, if any) occupies less than 100% of the Premises; or 

(iii)        if Tenant has been in default (beyond all applicable
notice and cure periods) 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 an Extension Right, whether or not the
defaults are cured. 
 (e)        No
Extensions.  The period of time within which any Extension Rights may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise the Extension Rights. 

(f)        Termination.  The Extension Rights
shall, at Landlord’s option, terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant’s due and timely exercise of an Extension Right, if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of an Extension Term,
(i) Tenant fails, subject to all applicable notice and cure periods, to timely cure any default by Tenant under this Lease; or (ii) Tenant has defaulted (beyond all applicable notice and cure periods) 3 or more times during the period from
the date of the exercise of an Extension Right to the date of the commencement of the Extension Term, whether or not such defaults are cured.” 
  

	11.	 Right of First Refusal.  Section 41 of the Lease is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

  

	 	“41.	 Right of First Refusal. 

(a)        Each time during the Base Term of the Lease that Landlord
intends to agree to a written proposal (the “Pending Deal”) to lease the Available 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. For purposes of this Section 41(a), “Available Space” shall mean all or any portion of the building in the Project known as 5820 Nancy Ridge Drive (“5820 Building”),
consisting of approximately 39,080 square feet of Rentable Area, which is not occupied by a tenant or which is occupied by a then existing tenant and such tenant does not wish to renew (whether or not such tenant has a right to renew) its
occupancy of such space. Tenant shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 41(a) only with respect to the entire Available Space described in such Pending Deal Notice (“Identified Space”). Within 5
business days after Tenant’s receipt of the Pending Deal Notice, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written 

  

			
		  	 

 6 

 
notice (the “Space Acceptance Notice”) if Tenant elects to lease the Identified Space. Tenant’s right to receive the Pending Deal Notice and election to lease or not lease
the Available Space pursuant to this Section 41(a) is hereinafter referred to as the “Right of First Refusal.” If Tenant elects to lease the Identified Space by delivering the Space Acceptance Notice within the
required 5 business day period, Tenant shall be deemed to agree to lease the Identified 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 Identified Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Work Letter apply to the Available Space. If Tenant fails to deliver a Space Acceptance Notice to Landlord within the
required 5 business day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 41(a) to lease the Identified Space, and Landlord shall have the right to lease the Identified Space to any third party on any terms and
conditions acceptable to Landlord; provided, however, that in the event the economic terms as stated in the Pending Deal Notice are altered so as to reduce the Net Effective Rental Rate (as defined below) by more than ten percent (10%), Landlord
will again be obligated to offer the Identified Space to Tenant on such revised terms and Tenant will have three (3) business days to deliver the Space Acceptance Notice as set forth above. The term “Net Effective Rental Rate”
shall mean the rental rate, as adjusted to reflect the value of any free rent, tenant improvement allowance or similar monetary concessions. 

(b)        Amended Lease.  If: (i) Tenant
fails to timely deliver a Space Acceptance Notice, or (ii) after the expiration of a period of 20 days after Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a lease amendment or lease agreement for Tenant’s lease of the Identified Space, no lease
amendment or lease agreement for the Identified Space, acceptable to both parties each in their sole and absolute discretion, has been executed, Tenant shall be deemed to have forever waived its right to lease such Identified Space (subject to the
terms of Section 41(a) above). Landlord and Tenant agree to negotiate any such lease amendment or lease agreement in good faith. 
 (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 (beyond all applicable notice and cure periods); 
 (ii)        during any period that Tenant (collectively with its Permitted Transferees, if any) occupies less than 100% of the Premises; or 

(iii)        if Tenant has been in default (beyond all applicable
notice and cure periods) 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
Identified Space, (i) Tenant fails, subject to all applicable notice and cure periods, to timely cure any default by Tenant under the Lease; or (ii) Tenant has defaulted (beyond all applicable notice and cure periods) 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 Identified Space, whether or not such defaults are cured. 

(e)        Subordinate.  Tenant’s rights in
connection with the Right of First Refusal are and shall be subject to and subordinate to any expansion or extension rights granted in the 5820 Building to Celula, Inc. 

  

			
		  	 

 7 

 (f)        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 to any Permitted Transferee of this Lease. 
 (g)        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. 
  

	12.	 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 the transaction reflected in this First Amendment and that no Broker brought about this transaction, other than Studley, Inc. Landlord and Tenant each hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
the other harmless from and against any claims by any Broker claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, with regard to this leasing transaction. 

 

	13.	 Financial Information.  Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with true and complete copies of
(i) Tenant’s most recent audited annual financial statements within 90 days of the end of each of Tenant’s fiscal years during the Term, (ii) Tenant’s most recent unaudited quarterly financial statements within 45 days of
the end of each of Tenant’s first three fiscal quarters of each of Tenant’s fiscal years during the Term, (iii) at Landlord’s request from time to time, updated business plans, including cash flow projections and/or pro forma
balance sheets and income statements, all of which shall be treated by Landlord as confidential information belonging to Tenant, (iv) corporate brochures and/or profiles prepared by Tenant for prospective investors, and (v) any other
financial information or summaries that Tenant typically provides to its lenders or shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be required to provide any financial information to Landlord which Tenant does not otherwise
prepare (or cause to be prepared) for its own purposes. 

  

	14.	 OFAC.  Tenant, and all beneficial owners of Tenant, are currently (a) in compliance with and shall at all times during the
term of the 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 the 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. 

 

	15.	 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, 

  

			
		  	 

 8 

	 	 
dimensions, location or the Permitted Use of the Premises, and Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s business operations in the Premises.

  

	16.	 Miscellaneous. 

 a.        This First 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 First Amendment may be amended only by an agreement in writing, signed by the parties hereto. 
 b.        This First Amendment is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective agents, employees, representatives,
officers, directors, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, assigns, heirs, successors in interest and shareholders. 

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

d.        Except as amended and/or modified by this First 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 First Amendment. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this First Amendment and the
provisions of the Lease, the provisions of this First Amendment shall prevail. Whether or not specifically amended by this First Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease are hereby amended to the extent necessary to give effect to the

 EXHIBIT B 
 Work Letter 
 THIS WORK LETTER (this “Work
Letter”) is incorporated into that certain First Amendment to Lease dated Nov 1, 2011 (the “Amendment”), by and between ARE-SD REGION NO. 18, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”),
and BIOCEPT, INC., a California corporation (“Tenant”). Any initially capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Amendment. 

1.        General Requirements. 

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

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

(c)        Architects, Consultants and Contractors.  Landlord and
Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the architect (the “TI Architect”) for the Tenant Improvements (as defined in Section 2(a) below), the general contractor and any subcontractors for the Tenant Improvements shall
be selected by Tenant, subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall be named a third party beneficiary of any contract entered into by Tenant with the TI Architect,
any consultant, any contractor or any subcontractor, and of any warranty made by any contractor or any subcontractor. 
 2.        Tenant Improvements. 
 (a)        Tenant Improvements Defined.  As used herein, “Tenant Improvements” shall mean all improvements to the Premises desired by
Tenant of a fixed and permanent nature. Other than (i) funding the TI Allowance (as defined below), and (ii) complying with its obligations as expressly provided herein, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever with respect to the
finishing of the Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant may elect not to construct all of the Tenant Improvements at one time, and that the process for approval and completion set forth
below may need to be repeated on more than one occasion for separate phases of the Tenant Improvements. 

(b)        Tenant’s Space Plans.  Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord schematic drawings and outline specifications (the “TI Design Drawings”) detailing Tenant’s requirements for the Tenant Improvements prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements. Not more than
10 days thereafter, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the written objections, questions or comments of Landlord and the TI Architect with regard to the TI Design Drawings. Tenant shall cause the TI Design Drawings to be revised to address such
written comments and shall resubmit said drawings to Landlord for approval within 10 days thereafter. Such process shall continue until Landlord has approved the TI Design Drawings. 

  

			
		  	 

 B-1 

 (c)        Working
Drawings.  Not later than 15 business days following the approval of the TI Design Drawings by Landlord, Tenant shall cause the TI Architect to prepare and deliver to Landlord for review and comment construction plans, specifications
and drawings for the Tenant improvements (“TI Construction Drawings”), which TI Construction Drawings shall be prepared substantially in accordance with the TI Design Drawings. Tenant shall be solely responsible for ensuring that
the TI Construction Drawings reflect Tenant’s requirements for the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall deliver its written comments on the TI Construction Drawings to Tenant not later than 10 business days after Landlord’s receipt of the
same; provided, however, that Landlord may not disapprove any matter that is consistent with the TI Design Drawings. Tenant and the TI Architect shall consider all such comments in good faith and shall, within 10 business days after receipt, notify
Landlord how Tenant proposes to respond to such comments. Any disputes in connection with such comments shall be resolved in accordance with Section 2(d) hereof. Provided that the design reflected in the TI Construction Drawings is
consistent with the TI Design Drawings, Landlord shall approve the TI Construction Drawings submitted by Tenant. Once approved by Landlord, subject to the provisions of Section 4 below, Tenant shall not materially modify the TI
Construction Drawings except as may be reasonably required in connection with the issuance of the TI Permit (as defined in Section 3(a) below). 
 (d)        Approval and Completion.  If any dispute regarding the design of the Tenant Improvements is not settled within 10 business days after
notice of such dispute is delivered by one party to the other, Tenant may make the final decision regarding the design of the Tenant Improvements, provided (i) Tenant acts reasonably and such final decision is either consistent with or a
compromise between Landlord’s and Tenant’s positions with respect to such dispute, (ii) that all costs and expenses resulting from any such decision by Tenant shall be payable out of the TI Fund (as defined in Section 5(d)
below), and (iii) Tenant’s decision will not affect the base Building, structural components of the Building or any Building systems (in which case Landlord shall make the final decision). Any changes to the TI Construction Drawings
following Landlord’s and Tenant’s approval of same requested by Tenant shall be processed as provided in Section 4 hereof. 
 3.        Performance of the Tenant Improvements. 
 (a)      Commencement and Permitting of the Tenant Improvements.    Tenant shall commence construction of the Tenant Improvements upon obtaining and
delivering to Landlord a building permit (the “TI Permit”) authorizing the construction of the Tenant Improvements consistent with the TI Construction Drawings approved by Landlord. The cost of obtaining the TI Permit shall be
payable from the TI Fund. Landlord shall assist Tenant in obtaining the TI Permit. Prior to the commencement of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of any contract with Tenant’s contractors (including the TI
Architect), and certificates of insurance from any contractor performing any part of the Tenant Improvement evidencing industry standard commercial general liability, automotive liability, “builder’s risk”, and workers’
compensation insurance. Tenant shall cause the general contractor to provide a certificate of insurance naming Landlord, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., and Landlord’s lender (if any) as additional insureds for the general
contractor’s liability coverages required above. 

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

(d)        Substantial Completion.    Tenant shall
substantially complete or cause to be substantially completed the Tenant Improvements in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the TI Permit subject, in each case, to Minor Variations and normal “punch list” items of a
non-material 

  

			
		  	 

 B-2 

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

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

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

(b)       Implementation of Changes.  If Landlord approves such Change
and Tenant deposits with Landlord any Excess TI Costs (as defined in Section 5(d) below) required in connection with such Change, Tenant may cause the approved Change to be instituted. If any TI Permit modification or change is required
as a result of such Change, Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with a copy of such TI Permit modification or change. 
 5.        Costs. 

(a)       Budget For Tenant Improvements.  Before the commencement of
construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall obtain a detailed breakdown, by trade, of the costs incurred or that will be incurred, in connection with the design and construction of The Tenant Improvements (the “Budget”),
and deliver a copy of the Budget to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Budget shall be based upon the TI Construction Drawings approved by Landlord and shall include a payment to
Landlord of administrative rent (“Administrative Rent”) equal to 4% of the TI Costs (as hereinafter defined) for monitoring and inspecting the construction of the Tenant Improvements, which sum shall be payable from the TI Fund.
Such Administrative Rent shall cover, without limitation, all out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred by or on behalf of Landlord arising from, out of, or in connection with, such monitoring of the construction of the Tenant Improvements. If
the Budget is greater than the TI Allowance, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the difference, in cash, prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements, for disbursement by Landlord as described in Section 5(d).

 (b)       TI Allowance.  Landlord shall provide to Tenant a
tenant improvement allowance (“TI Allowance”) of $25.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises, or $1,205,450 in the aggregate which shall, to the extent used, result in adjustments to the Annual Basic Rent as set forth in the
Lease. The TI Allowance, which may be disbursed to Tenant in multiple phases, shall be disbursed in accordance with this Work Letter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Work Letter or the Amendment, Tenant may in its sole discretion
elect not to seek reimbursement from Landlord for the costs associated with some or all of the Tenant Improvements. In the event Tenant makes such an election with respect to all or any portion of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall comply with
all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Work Letter with respect to such Tenant Improvements except that Tenant shall not 

  

			
		  	 

 B-3 

 
seek reimbursement from Landlord in connection with such Tenant Improvements (and, therefore, shall not be obligated to pay an TI Rent in connection therewith). 

Tenant shall have no right to the use or benefit (including any reduction to Annual Basic Rent) of any portion of the TI
Allowance not required for the construction of (i) the Tenant Improvements described in the TI Construction Drawings approved pursuant to Section 2(d) or (ii) any Changes pursuant to Section 4. Tenant shall have no
right to any portion of the TI Allowance that is not disbursed before October 31, 2013. 

(c)        Costs Includable in TI Allowance.  The TI Allowance
shall be used solely for the payment of design, permits and construction costs in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, the cost of electrical power and other utilities used in connection with
the construction of the Tenant Improvements, the payment of architectural and other consulting fees and the cost of preparing the TI Design Drawings and the TI Construction Drawings, all costs set forth in the Budget, including Landlord’s
Administrative Rent, and the cost of Changes, and including the cost of data and phone cabling and other IT infrastructure costs (collectively, “TI Costs”). Except as set forth above in this Section 5(c), the TI
Allowance shall not be used to purchase any furniture, personal property or other non-Building system materials or equipment, including, but not be limited to, non-ducted biological safety cabinets and other scientific equipment not incorporated
into the Tenant Improvements. 
 (d)        Excess TI
Costs.  Landlord shall have no obligation to bear any portion of the cost of any of the Tenant Improvements except to the extent of the TI Allowance. If at any time and from time-to-time, the remaining TI Costs under the Budget exceed
the remaining unexpended TI Allowance, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, as a condition precedent to Landlord’s obligation to complete the Tenant Improvements, 100% of the then current TI Cost in excess of the remaining TI Allowance
(“Excess TI Costs”). If Tenant fails to deposit, or is late in depositing 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. The TI Allowance and Excess TI
Costs are herein referred to as the “TI Fund.” Funds deposited by Tenant shall be the first thereafter disbursed to pay TI Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5(d), Tenant shall be
fully and solely liable for TI Costs and the cost of Minor Variations in excess of the TI Allowance. If upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements and the payment of all sums due in connection therewith there remains any undisbursed
portion of the TI Fund, Tenant shall be entitled to such undisbursed TI Fund solely to the extent of any Excess TI Costs deposit Tenant has actually made with Landlord. 

(e)        Payment for TI Costs.  During the course of design and
construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for TI Costs once a month against a draw request in Landlord’s standard form, containing evidence of payment of such TI Costs by Tenant and such certifications, lien
waivers (including a conditional lien release for each progress payment and unconditional lien releases for the prior month’s progress payments), inspection reports and other matters as Landlord customarily obtains, to the extent of
Landlord’s approval thereof for payment, no later than 30 days following receipt of such draw request. Upon completion of the Tenant Improvements (and prior to any final disbursement of the TI Fund), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord:
(i) sworn statements setting forth the names of all contractors and first tier subcontractors who did the work and final, unconditional lien waivers from all such contractors and first tier subcontractors; (ii) as-built plans (one copy in
print format and two copies in electronic CAD format) for such Tenant Improvements; (iii) a certification of substantial completion in Form AIA G704, (iv) a certificate of occupancy for the Premises; and (v) copies of all operation
and maintenance manuals and warranties affecting the Premises.

6.          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, except as may be 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.
