A. Landlord and Tenant or its predecessor have heretofore entered into that certain lease dated June 1, 2005 (the “Lease”) for premises described as Suite C (the “Premises”), initially containing approximately 8,073 rentable square feet, in the building located at 626 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, California (the “Building”), which forms part of the mixed-use building development commonly known as the 600-630 Bancroft Way Development (the “Development”) with a street address of 600-630 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, California. The square footage of the Development is 48,358.

C. The parties mutually desire to amend the terms of the Lease to expand the Premises, to extend the Term, and to make certain other related changes, all on and subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

Agreement

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual terms and conditions herein contained and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1 EFFECT OF ADDENDUM. Landlord and Tenant agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below will be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede, to the extent they differ, any contrary provisions in the Lease. Terms defined in the Lease shall have the same meanings in this Fourth Addendum, unless a different definition is set forth in this Fourth Addendum. The term Lease as used herein shall be deemed to include the First Letter Agreement, the Second Letter Agreement, the First Addendum, the Second Addendum, and the Third Addendum, each of which may also be referred to separately herein. A true, complete, and correct copy of the Lease as heretofore amended is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.

2 EFFECTIVE DATE. The amendments and changes specified in this Fourth Addendum shall become effective on March 9, 2015 (the “Effective Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Fourth Addendum shall constitute the fully-binding agreement and contract of the parties from and after the date of the parties’ execution and delivery of this Fourth Addendum to each other.


3 LEASE TERM. The Term of the Lease specified in § 1.2 of the Lease as heretofore amended under the Second Addendum shall extended for an additional period of twenty-eight (28) months commencing on September 1, 2016, and the Expiration Date is thus amended to December 31, 2018.

3.1 Option to Renew. Tenant is hereby granted one (1) option to extend (the “Extension Option”) the Term of the Lease for one (1) additional period of two (2) years (the “Extension Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, this Extension Option supersedes and cancels all previous options grants under the Lease as heretofore amended, including the options stated in the First Addendum and the Third Addendum, and Landlord’s nullification right stated in ¶ 4.1(b) of the First Addendum is hereby deleted and of no further force or effect. The Extension Period term shall begin the first day following the Expiration Date and shall take effect on the same terms and conditions in effect under the Lease on December 31, 2018, except that (i) Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term of the Lease and (ii) monthly Base Rent shall be the rate which is Fair Market Value (as defined below). The “Fair Market Value” shall be the effective rent (face rate less free rent) being charged for comparable space in comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Building leased on comparable terms and shall be limited the rates charges in such comparable transactions for tenants renewing or extending their leases.

(a) Exercise of Option. The Extension Option may be exercised only by (i) delivering in person to Landlord’s Building Manager in the Building Office written notice of Tenant’s irrevocable election to exercise no earlier than ten (10) months and no later than six (6) months prior to the commencement of the Extension Period, and (ii) collecting and retaining in exchange for such notice of exercise an original written receipt therefor signed and dated by Landlord’s Building Manager. Tenant’s exercise of its Extension Option shall not be effective or valid if there is any deviation in the timing or manner of exercise prescribed herein.

(b) Failure to Exercise. If Tenant shall fail validly and timely to exercise the Option herein granted, said Option shall terminate and shall be null and void and of no further force and effect.

(c) Fair Market Value. Provided that Tenant has validly exercised its Option when and as required hereunder, not less than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the commencement of the Extension Period, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant of its determination of the Fair Market Value. Within ten (10) days after receiving such determination (“Tenant’s Review Period”), Tenant shall irrevocably elect, in writing, to do one of the following: (i) accept Landlord’s determination; or (ii) object to Landlord’s determination and with such objection set forth in writing Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Value. If Tenant so objects, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to agree upon such Fair Market Value using their best good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following Tenant’s Review Period (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party’s determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the then-current rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association, but subject to the instructions set forth in this ¶ 3.1 et seq.. If Tenant objects to Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Value, Tenant shall pay Rent at the Fair Market Value determined by Landlord until the matter is resolved by binding arbitration as provided below subject to retroactive adjustment after the matter is so resolved. If Tenant fails so to accept or object to Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Value in writing within Tenant’s Review Period, Tenant shall conclusively be deemed to have approved of the Fair Market Value as determined by Landlord. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Value for the Premises is the more accurate as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of this ¶ 3.1 et seq.

(d) Appointment of Arbitrators. Not later than fifteen (15) days following the Outside Agreement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker who shall have been active over the ten-year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of commercial properties within Alameda County. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Value for the Premises is the more accurate as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of this ¶ 3.1 et seq.

(e) Appointment of Third Arbitrator. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall within fifteen (15) days of the date of the appointment of the last-appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be qualified under the same criteria as set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two arbitrators.

(f) Arbitrators Decision. The three (3) arbitrators shall, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Value, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. The arbitrators shall not be permitted to set Fair Market Value to any level other than either Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Value.

(g) Failure to Appoint. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date, the arbitrator timely appointed by one of the parties shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator’s decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, both arbitrators shall be dismissed and the matter to be decided shall be forthwith submitted to arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect, but subject to the instructions set forth in this ¶ 3.1 et seq..

(h) Cost of Arbitration. The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.

(i) Default. Tenant’s exercise of the Option shall, at Landlord’s election, be null and void if Tenant is in Default on the date of Tenant’s notice of exercise or at any time thereafter and prior to commencement of the Extension Period. Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option shall not operate to cure any Default by Tenant nor to extinguish or impair any rights or remedies of Landlord arising by virtue of such Default. If the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall terminate before Tenant shall have exercised the Extension Option, then immediately upon such termination the Extension Option shall simultaneously terminate and become null and void.

(j) Time. Time is of the essence of the Extension Option granted hereunder.

4 EXPANSION OF PREMISES. On the Effective Date the Premises shall be expanded by the addition thereto of Suite A in the Building containing approximately 6,476 rentable square feet of space (the “Expansion Space” or “Suite A”) for all purposes under the Lease, as reflected in the Table below and as depicted on the space plan attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference (the “Space Plan”). All references in the Lease to the “Premises” shall refer to Premises as so augmented by the addition thereto of Suite A from and after March 9, 2015 (the “Expansion Space Commencement Date”). From and after the Expansion Space Commencement Date, Suite A shall become an integral part of the Premises pursuant to the basic terms specified in the Table below regarding Term, Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of increases in Operating Expenses and Taxes, and the Base Year for the purposes of calculating Additional Rentable payable with respect to Suite A.

4.1 Right of First Offer. Tenant shall have a continuing right of first opportunity (the “RFO”) to lease any space in the Development that becomes available from time to time during the Term of the Lease as extended hereunder (the “RFO Space”), prior to the RFO Space’s being offered to a third party, on the terms then in effect under the Lease as modified herein, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this ¶ 4.1 et seq.

4.1.1 Landlord’s Notice. Within thirty (30) days after any RFO Space becomes legally available to lease or, at Landlord’s option, such earlier time as Landlord shall be in a position to project when the RFO Space will be legally available to lease, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing advising Tenant of such projected date.

4.1.2 Tenant’s Exercise. Promptly after receipt of Landlord’s notice of availability, Landlord and Tenant shall meet to discuss and attempt in good faith to agree on the term and base rent that would be applicable to the RFO Space; provided, however, in no event shall the base rent for the RFO Space exceed the rate which is Fair Market Value. Tenant shall then have fourteen (14) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice of availability issued pursuant to ¶ 4.1.1 above in which to notify Landlord in writing that Tenant irrevocably exercises Tenant’s right to lease the RFO Space on the terms described herein. If the parties fail to come to agreement as to the base rent and term that would be applicable to Tenant’s lease of the RFO Space, Tenant’s RFO shall lapse, and Landlord thereafter may rent the RFO Space to a third party on such terms and conditions as Landlord is able to negotiate with such third party, and Tenant shall have no further right with respect to such particular RFO Space. The process of notice of availability, negotiation of terms, and notice of exercise shall be repeated each time a new RFO Space becomes available to lease, and Tenant’s failure to exercise its RFO as to any particular RFO Space shall not prejudice its right to receive notice and negotiate as to the lease of any subsequent RFO Space that may become available during the Term of the Lease.

4.1.3 Failure to Exercise. If Tenant shall fail to exercise such RFO after notice by Landlord of the availability of any particular RFO Space, as provided herein, such right shall be deemed to have lapsed and expired, and shall be of no further force or effect. Landlord may thereafter freely lease all or a portion of such particular RFO Space to any other party, at any time, on any terms, in Landlord’s sole discretion.

4.1.4 Commencement and Term. If Tenant exercises its RFO as to any particular RFO Space that may become available from time to time, the term of the Lease for such particular RFO Space shall commence on the date agreed by the parties with respect to such RFO Space (the “RFO Commencement Date”) and shall continue thereafter for the term agreed by the parties, which Tenant acknowledges and agrees may extend beyond the Expiration Date of the Term of the Lease as extended hereunder.

4.1.5 RFO Space Rent. In addition to the Rent reserved in the Lease, Tenant shall pay Base Rent for any particular RFO Space at the such rate per rentable square foot per month as Landlord and Tenant may agree in their negotiation following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice of availability of each particular RFO Space as they become available from time to time, subject to adjustment on each Adjustment Date, as provided in the Lease. In addition, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Prorata Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses for the RFO Space, and Tenant’s Prorata Share shall be increased accordingly to reflect the addition of the RFO Space to the Premises.

4.1.6 Tenant’s Improvements. Unless agreed otherwise in the parties’ negotiation following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice of availability of each particular RFO Space as they become available from time to time, Landlord shall have no obligation to improve the RFO Space for Tenant, to provide any tenant improvement allowance, or otherwise to construct or finance any improvements which Tenant may desire in the RFO Space.

4.1.7 Confirmatory Documentation. After Tenant validly exercises the right of first opportunity provided herein, the parties shall execute an amendment to the Lease, adding the RFO Space, or such other documentation as Landlord or Tenant shall reasonably require, promptly after Landlord shall prepare the same, in order to confirm the leasing of such RFO Space to Tenant; but an otherwise valid exercise of the RFO contained herein shall be fully effective, whether or not such confirmatory documentation is executed.

4.1.8 Entire RFO Space. The foregoing right of first opportunity shall apply only with respect to the entire RFO Space offered to Tenant from time to time and may not be exercised with respect to only a portion thereof, unless only a portion shall first become available (in which case, the foregoing right of first opportunity shall apply to such portions, as the same become available).

4.1.9 Delay in Delivery. If Tenant shall exercise the right of first opportunity granted herein, Landlord does not guarantee that the any particular RFO Space will be available on the agreed RFO Commencement Date, if the then existing occupants of the RFO Space shall hold over, or for any other reason beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. In such event, the agreed Rent with respect to the RFO Space shall be abated until Landlord legally delivers the same to Tenant, as Tenant’s sole recourse.

4.1.10 Tenant’s Default. The RFO herein shall, at Landlord’s election, be null and void, if Tenant is in Default on the date Tenant exercises the RFO as to any particular RFO Space or at any time thereafter and prior to the agreed RFO Commencement Date. Tenant’s exercise of such RFO shall not operate to cure any Default nor to extinguish or impair any rights or remedies of Landlord arising by virtue of such Default. If the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall terminate before Tenant shall have exercised the RFO, then immediately upon such termination the RFO shall simultaneously terminate and become null and void.

4.1.11 Time. Tenant agrees that time is of the essence of this RFO.

4.2 Asbestos TEM Move Credit. Tenant agrees to pay to Asbestos TEM, the current occupant of Suite A, an amount equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) (the “Move Credit”) as an inducement to Asbestos TEM to relocate its Premises from Suite A to approximately 5,500 rentable square feet of space known as Suites A & D of Building 1 in the Development. Tenant acknowledges that the payment of the Move Credit to Asbestos TEM is for the express benefit of Landlord as an intended third-party beneficiary, and Tenant’s failure to pay the Move Credit to Asbestos TEM as and when required hereunder shall constitute a material Event of Default under the Lease. Tenant shall pay the Move Credit to Asbestos TEM on or before the Expansion Space Commencement Date, and Tenant shall provide further commercially reasonable assistance with the relocation of Asbestos TEM as provided in ¶ 4.2.1 below. Tenant agrees that Asbestos TEM shall have the right to allocate and spend the Move Credit in any manner decided by Asbestos TEM in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to Tenant’s right to review Asbestos TEM’s accounting of its relocation costs as set forth in ¶ 6.1 below.

4.2.1 Asbestos TEM Move Assistance. In addition to payment of the Move Credit as described in ¶ 4.1.1 above, Tenant agrees, for the benefit of Landlord as an intended third-party beneficiary, to utilize commercially reasonable efforts to assist Asbestos TEM with the management of its relocation to Building 1 to the extent such assistance is requested by Asbestos TEM. In addition, on or before the date which is ten (10) days after the Effective Date Tenant agrees to make available to Asbestos TEM two (2) existing six-foot fume hoods with acid base cabinets from Suite A and to permit Asbestos TEM at its sole cost and expense to relocate the same into Asbestos TEM’s relocation premises in Building 1, if such fume hoods and cabinets have not already been removed and relocated by the Effective Date.

5 BASE YEAR. As specified in the Table below, the Base Year for the purposes calculating Tenant’s Additional Rent under § 2.3 of the Lease as heretofore amended shall be calendar year 2013 from and after the Expansion Space Commencement Date.

6 MONTHLY BASE RENT. The Base Rent for the Premises specified in § 2(a) of the Lease as heretofore amended shall be the amounts specified as Monthly Base Rent in the Table below for the various periods and spaces set forth in the Table from and after the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt and in order to clarify the parties’ agreement hereunder, the Monthly Base Rent numbers shown in the Table reflect the Base Rent in effect on the original Commencement Date of the Lease as increased by the Base Rent Adjustment as provided in § 2.2 of the Lease. The parties agree that application of the Base Rent Adjustment has resulted in a Base Rent rate of $1.79 per rentable square foot of space as to Suites B, C, and D, which rate has been in effect since September 1, 2014. The Base Rent specified in the Table below for the entire Premises shall be subject to further adjustment on the next Adjustment Date and each subsequent Adjustment Date through the Expiration Date.

6.1 Suite A Prepaid Base Rent. Tenant agrees to pre-pay to Landlord Base Rent with respect to Suite A in the amount of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) (the “Prepaid Base Rent”) upon Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Fourth Addendum to Landlord as an inducement to Landlord to complete the related leasing transaction necessary in the Development to accommodate Tenant’s expansion into Suite A. The schedule for applying the credit for the Prepaid Base Rent to Tenant’s account is set forth in ¶ 6.2 below. The parties acknowledge and agree that Landlord will use the Prepaid Base Rent to assist Asbestos TEM with the costs of its relocation as described in ¶ 4.2 above. Asbestos TEM has agreed that Landlord may share with Tenant its accounting of the costs of its relocation and its use of the Move Credit and the Prepaid Base Rent, and Landlord agrees to make Asbestos TEM’s accounting of its relocation costs available for Tenant’s review at no cost to Tenant.

6.2 Timing of Base Rent Credits. Commencing on March 9, 2015, and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter, Landlord shall credit to Tenant’s account an amount equal to Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) per month as recognition of credit owing to Tenant by Landlord against the aggregate amount of (a) the Rent Credit (as defined in ¶ 8.1.2 below) plus (b) the Prepaid Base Rent (as defined in ¶ 6.1 above until the maximum aggregate amount of such credits (One Hundred Twenty-Nine Thousand Dollars ($129,000.00)) has been used up and credited to Tenant’s account for Base Rent owing under the Lease.

C. The parties mutually desire to amend the terms of the Lease to expand the Premises and make certain other related changes, all on and subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual terms and conditions herein contained and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1 EFFECT OF ADDENDUM. Landlord and Tenant agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below will be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede, to the extent they differ, any contrary provisions in the Lease. Terms defined in the Lease shall have the same meanings in this Third Addendum, unless a different definition is set forth in this Third Addendum. The term Lease as used herein shall be deemed to include the First Extension Agreement, the Second Extension Agreement, and the First Addendum, and the Second Addendum, each of which may also be referred to separately herein.

2 EFFECTIVE DATE. The amendments and changes specified in this Third Addendum shall become effective on June 1, 2014 (the “Effective Date”).

1.1 Option to Renew. Tenant is hereby granted one (1) option to extend (the “Extension Option”) the Term of the Lease for one (1) additional period of two (2) years (the “Extension Period”). The Extension Period term shall begin the first day following the Expiration Date and shall take effect on the same terms and conditions in effect under the Lease immediately prior to the first Extension Period, except that (i) Tenant shall have no further right to extend and (ii) monthly Base Rent shall be the rate which is Fair Market Value (as defined below). The Fair Market Value shall be the effective rent (face rate less free rent) being charged for comparable space in comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Building leased on comparable terms and shall be limited the rates charges in such comparable transactions for tenants renewing or extending their leases.

(a) Exercise of Option. The Extension Option may be exercised only by (i) delivering in person to Landlord’s Building Manager in the Building Office written notice of Tenant’s irrevocable election to exercise no earlier than ten (10) months and no later than six (6) months prior to the commencement of the Extension Period, and (ii) collecting and retaining in exchange for such notice of exercise an original written receipt therefor signed and dated by Landlord’s Building Manager. Tenant’s exercise of its Extension Option shall not be effective or valid if there is any deviation in the timing or manner of exercise prescribed herein.

(b) Failure to Exercise. If Tenant shall fail validly and timely to exercise the Option herein granted, said Option shall terminate and shall be null and void and of no further force and effect.

(c) Fair Market Value. Provided that Tenant has validly exercised its Option when and as required hereunder, not less than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the commencement of the Extension Period, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant of its determination of the Fair Market Value. Within ten (10) days after receiving such determination (“Tenant’s Review Period”), Tenant shall irrevocably elect, in writing, to do one of the following. (i) accept Landlord’s determination; or (ii) object to Landlord’s determination and with such objection set forth in writing Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Value. If Tenant so objects, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to agree upon such Fair Market Value using their best good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following Tenant’s Review Period (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party’s determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the then-current rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association, but subject to the instructions set forth in this § 1.1 et seq.. If Tenant objects to Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Value, Tenant shall pay Rent at the Fair Market Value determined by Landlord until the matter is resolved by binding arbitration as provided below subject to retroactive adjustment after the matter is so resolved. If Tenant fails so to accept or object to Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Value in writing within Tenant’s Review Period, Tenant shall conclusively be deemed to have approved of the Fair Market Value as determined by Landlord. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Value for the Premises is the more accurate as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of this § 1.1 et seq.

(d) Appointment of Arbitrators. Not later than fifteen (15) days following the Outside Agreement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker who shall have been active over the ten-year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of commercial properties within Alameda County. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Value for the Premises is the more accurate as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of this § 1.1 et seq.

(e) Appointment of Third Arbitrator. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall within fifteen (15) days of the date of the appointment of the last-appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be qualified under the same criteria as set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two arbitrators.

(f) Arbitrators’ Decision. The three (3) arbitrators shall, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Value, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. The arbitrators shall not be permitted to set Fair Market Value to any level other than either Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Value.

(g) Failure to Appoint. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date, the arbitrator timely appointed by one of the parties shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator’s decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, both arbitrators shall be dismissed and the matter to be decided shall be forthwith submitted to arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect, but subject to the instructions set forth in this § 1.1 et seq..

(h) Cost of Arbitration. The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.

(i) Default. Tenant’s exercise of the Option shall, at Landlord’s election, be null and void if Tenant is in Default on the date of Tenant’s notice of exercise or at any time thereafter and prior to commencement of the Extension Period. Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option shall not operate to cure any Default by Tenant nor to extinguish or impair any rights or remedies of Landlord arising by virtue of such Default. If the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall terminate before Tenant shall have exercised the Extension Option, then immediately upon such termination the Extension Option shall simultaneously terminate and become null and void.

(j) Time. Time is of the essence of the Extension Option granted hereunder.

4 EXPANSION OF PREMISES. On the Effective Date the Premises shall be expanded by the addition thereto of Suite B in the Building containing approximately 3,990 rentable square feet of space for all purposes under the Lease, as reflected in the Table below and as depicted on the space plan attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference (the “Space Plan”).

5 BASE YEAR. As specified in the Table below, the Base Year for the purposes calculating Tenant’s Additional Rent under § 2.3 of the Lease as heretofore amended shall be calendar year 2013 from and after the Effective Date.

6 MONTHLY BASE RENT. The Base Rent for the Premises specified in § 2(a) of the Lease as heretofore amended shall be the amounts specified as Monthly Base Rent in the Table below for the various periods and spaces set forth in the Table from and after the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt and in order to clarify the parties’ agreement hereunder, the Monthly Base Rent numbers shown in the Table reflect the Base Rent in effect on the original Commencement Date of the Lease as increased by the Base Rent Adjustment as provided in § 2.2 of the Lease. The parties agree that application of the Base Rent Adjustment has resulted in a Base Rent rate of $1.74 per rentable square foot of space in the Premises, which rate has been in effect since September 1, 2013, subject to further adjustment on the next Adjustment Date.

Landlord and Tenant or its predecessor have heretofore entered into that certain lease dated June 1, 2005 (the “Lease”) for premises described as Suite 3C (the “Premises”), initially containing approximately 8,073 rentable square feet, in the building located at 626 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, California (the “Building”), which forms part of the mixed-use building development commonly known as the 600-630 Bancroft Way Development (the “Development”) with a street address of 600-630 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, California. The square footage of the Development is 48,358.

B. The Lease has heretofore been amended or assigned by instruments dated September 1, 2008, and February 11, 2010 (the “Extension Agreements”) under which the Term of the Lease was extended through August 31, 2012.

C. Tenant was named NanoTx Corp. when it signed the Lease, although it did business as Aduro BioTech. Tenant has changed its corporate name to Aduro BioTech. Tenant intends to reincorporate in Delaware by merging into a Delaware corporation named Aduro BioTech, Inc.

D. The parties mutually desire to amend the terms of the Lease to extend the Term, expand the Premises, and make certain other related changes, all on and subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

Agreement

Now , therefore , in consideration of the mutual terms and conditions herein contained and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1 EFFECT OF ADDENDUM. Landlord and Tenant agree that notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below will be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede, to the extent they differ, any contrary provisions in the Lease. Terms defined in the Lease shall have the same meanings in this First Addendum, unless a different definition is set forth in this First Addendum. The term Lease as used herein shall be deemed to include the Extension Agreements, each of which may also be referred to separately herein. A true, complete, and correct copy of the Lease as heretofore amended is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.

2 EFFECTIVE DATE. The amendments and changes specified in this First Addendum shall become effective on June 1, 2011 (the “Effective Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this First Addendum shall constitute the fully-binding agreement and contract of the parties from and after the date of the parties’ execution and delivery of this First Addendum to each other.

3 CORPORATE CHANGE OF NAME. Upon the effectiveness of the merger described as intended under Recital C above, Aduro BioTech, Inc., a Delaware corporation, will automatically become the Tenant under the Lease. Tenant agrees to give to Landlord written notice of any such change in name within thirty (30) days after the completion of the proposed merger.

4 EXTENSION OF LEASE TERM. The Term of the Lease specified in § 1.2 of the Lease as heretofore amended is hereby extended for an additional period of two (2) years commencing on September 1, 2012, and the Expiration Date of the Lease is hereby amended accordingly to August 31, 2014.

4.1 Option to Renew. Tenant is hereby granted three (3) successive options to extend (collectively the “Extension Options”) the Term of the Lease for three (3) additional consecutive periods of two (2) years each (collectively the “Extension Periods”). The first Extension Period term shall begin the first day following the Expiration Date and shall take effect on the same terms and conditions in effect under the Lease immediately prior to the first Extension Period, except that (i) Tenant shall have no right to extend other than any remaining Extension Options and (ii) monthly Base Rent shall be the rate which is Fair Market Value (as defined below). The Fair Market Value shall be the effective rent (face rate less free rent) being charged for comparable space in comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Building leased on comparable terms and shall be limited the rates charges in such comparable transactions for tenants renewing or extending their leases.

(a) Exercise of Options. The Extension Options may be exercised only by (i) delivering in person to Landlord’s Building Manager in the Building Office written notice of Tenant’s irrevocable election to exercise no earlier than ten (10) months and no later than six (6) months prior to the commencement of the first, second, or third Extension Period, as the case may be, and (ii) collecting and retaining in exchange for such notice of exercise an original written receipt therefor signed and dated by Landlord’s Building Manager. Tenant’s exercise of its Extension Options shall not be effective or valid if there is any deviation in the timing or manner of exercise prescribed herein.

(b) Nullification of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to nullify Tenant’s exercise of any of its Extension Options granted hereunder upon written notice within thirty (30) days after the date of Tenant’s exercise of its Extension Option for such Extension Period if the Building or Development is selected by the LBNL as the site for development of a new campus. If Landlord exercises its option nullification right hereunder, Landlord shall pay to Tenant (i) a “Nullification Fee” in the amount of Eighty Thousand Dollars ($80,000) and (ii) the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in moving to a comparable facility of Tenant’s choice in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Nullification Fee, if any, shall be payable by Landlord in full on or before the Expiration Date of the then-current initial Term or Extension Period, as the case may be.

(c) Failure to Exercise. If Tenant shall fail validly and timely to exercise any of the Options herein granted, said Options shall terminate and shall be null and void and of no further force and effect.

(d) Fair Market Value. Provided that Tenant has validly exercised its Options when and as required hereunder, not less than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the commencement of the first, second, or third Extension Period, as the case may be, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant of its determination of the Fair Market Value. Within ten (10) days after receiving such determination (“Tenant’s Review Period”), Tenant shall irrevocably elect, in writing, to do one of the following: (i) accept Landlord’s determination; or (ii) object to Landlord’s determination and with such objection set forth in writing Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Value. If Tenant so objects, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to agree upon such Fair Market Value using their best good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following Tenant’s Review Period (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party’s determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the then-current rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association, but subject to the instructions set forth in this § 3.1 et seq.. If Tenant objects to Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Value, Tenant shall pay Rent at the Fair Market Value determined by Landlord until the matter is resolved by binding arbitration as provided below subject to retroactive adjustment after the matter is so resolved. If Tenant fails so to accept or object to Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Value in writing within Tenant’s Review Period, Tenant shall conclusively be deemed to have approved of the Fair

Market Value as determined by Landlord. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Value for the Premises is the more accurate as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of this § 3.1 et seq.

(e) Appointment of Arbitrators. Not later than fifteen (15) days following the Outside Agreement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker who shall have been active over the ten-year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of commercial properties within Berkeley, California. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Value for the Premises is the more accurate as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of this § 3.1 et seq.

(f) Appointment of Third Arbitrator. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall within fifteen (15) days of the date of the appointment of the last-appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be qualified under the same criteria as set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two arbitrators.

(g) Arbitrators’ Decision. The three (3) arbitrators shall, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Value, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. The arbitrators shall not be permitted to set Fair Market Value to any level other than either Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Value.

(h) Failure to Appoint. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date, the arbitrator timely appointed by one of the parties shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator’s decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, both arbitrators shall be dismissed and the matter to be decided shall be forthwith submitted to arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect, but subject to the instructions set forth in this § 3.1 et seq..

(i) Cost of Arbitration. The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.

(j) Default. Tenant’s exercise of the Options shall, at Landlord’s election, be null and void if Tenant is in Default on the date of Tenant’s notice of exercise or at any time thereafter and prior to commencement of the relevant Extension Period, Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Options shall not operate to cure any Default by Tenant nor to extinguish or impair any rights or remedies of Landlord arising by virtue of such Default. If the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall terminate before Tenant shall have exercised the first Extension Option, then immediately upon such termination all the Extension Options shall simultaneously terminate and become null and void; and if the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall terminate before Tenant shall have exercised the second or third Extension Option, then immediately upon such termination the second and third Extension Options shall simultaneously terminate and become null and void.

(k) Time. Time is of the essence of the Extension Options granted hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may use additional spaces as available so long as they are not required for new tenants in the Property

1.2 Term. The term (the “Term”) for which the Premises are hereby leased shall commence on the “Commencement Date,” which shall be September 1, 2005, or, if earlier, the day on which the Premises are ready for occupancy (as defined in § 5.2 below) and shall end on August 31, 2008 (the “Expiration Date”) or any earlier date upon which the Term may expire or be cancelled or terminated pursuant to any of the conditions or covenants of this Lease or pursuant to law. Promptly following the Commencement Date the parties hereto shall, if required by Landlord, enter into a supplementary agreement fixing the dates of the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date in the form which is attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by reference.

1.2.1 Delay in Possession. If Landlord is unable for any reason to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant at the target commencement dated stated in the Table above, or if Landlord’s Work pursuant to § 5 below and / or any Work Letter Agreement is not substantially completed on or before such target commencement date, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage caused thereby, nor shall this Lease be void or voidable, but Tenant shall not be liable for any Rent until possession is delivered and the Commencement Date occurs as provided in § 1.2 above. In the event of any such delay in the occurrence of the Commencement Date, the Expiration Date shall be similarly extended by one (1) day for each such day of delay in the Commencement Date, so that the duration of the Term shall remain the same as that stated in the Table despite the delay in the Commencement Date. Tenant may at its option terminate this Lease if the Commencement Date does not occur within sixty (60) days of the target commencement date stated in the Table above.

1.2.2 Options to Renew. Tenant is hereby granted one (1) option to extend (the “Extension Option”) the Term of the Lease for one (1) additional period of two (2) Lease Years (collectively the “Extension Period”). The Extension Period term shall begin the first day following the Expiration Date and shall take effect on the same terms and conditions in effect under the Lease immediately prior to the Extension Period, except that monthly Base Rent shall be the rate which is Fair Market Value (as defined below), except that (i) Tenant shall have no further right to extend and (ii) monthly Base Rent shall be the rate which is Fair Market Value (as defined below). The Fair Market Value shall be the effective rent (face rate less free rent) being charged for comparable space in comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Building leased on comparable terms.

(a) Exercise of Option. The Extension Options may be exercised only by giving Landlord written notice of Tenant’s irrevocable election to exercise no earlier than ten (10) months and no later than six (6) months prior to the commencement of the Extension Period.

Suite 3C (8,073 rsf)


(b) Failure to Exercise. If Tenant shall fail validly and timely to exercise either of the options herein granted, said option shall terminate and shall be null and void and of no further force and effect.

(c) Determination of Fair Market Value. Not less than one hundred and fifty (150) days prior to the commencement of the Extension Term, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant of its determination of the Fair Market Value. Within ten (10) days after receiving such determination (“Tenant’s Review Period”), Tenant shall irrevocably elect, in writing, to do one of the following: (i) accept Landlord’s determination; or (ii) object to Landlord’s determination and with such objection set forth in writing Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Value. If Tenant so objects, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to agree upon such Fair Market Value using their best good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following Tenant’s Review Period (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party’s determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with § 25 below, but subject to the instructions set forth in this § 25 et seq. If Tenant objects to Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Value, Tenant shall pay Rent at the Fair Market Value determined by Landlord until the matter is resolved by binding arbitration as provided below subject to retroactive adjustment after the matter is so resolved. If Tenant fails so to accept or object to Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Value in writing within Tenant’s Review Period, Tenant shall conclusively be deemed to have approved of the Fair Market Value as determined by Landlord. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Value for the Premises is the more accurate as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of this § 25 et seq.

(d) Default. Tenant’s exercise of the Options shall, at Landlord’s election, be null and void if Tenant is in Default on the date of Tenant’s notice of exercise or at any time thereafter and prior to commencement of the Extension Period. Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option shall not operate to cure any Default by Tenant nor to extinguish or impair any rights or remedies of Landlord arising by virtue of such Default.

(e) Time. Time is of the essence of the Extension Option granted hereunder.

2 Rent. The “Rent” reserved under this Lease, for the Term thereof, shall consist of the following:

(a) “Base Rent” as shown in the Table per month, which shall be payable in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term of this Lease, except that Tenant shall pay the first month’s Base Rent due under the Lease upon the execution and delivery of this Lease by Tenant; and

(b) “Additional Rent” consisting of any and all other sums of money as shall become payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder; and Landlord shall have the same remedies for default in the payment of Additional Rent as for a default in payment of Base Rent.

2.2 Base Rent Adjustment. If the CPI on any anniversary of the Commencement Date shall be greater than the CPI for the Commencement Date, monthly Base Rent commencing on each anniversary of the Commencement Date shall be adjusted by adding an amount (the “CPI Escalation Amount”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying the monthly Base Rent by the percentage increase in the CPI from the Commencement Date through the relevant anniversary of the Commencement Date, provided that in no event shall the new rent be less than that charged for the prior twelve-month period. “CPI” shall mean the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, All Items, San Francisco-Oakland-San José, California (Base year 1982-1984=100) published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of

Labor Statistics. If the CPI becomes unavailable to the public because publication is discontinued, or otherwise, Landlord shall substitute therefor a comparable index based upon changes in the cost of living or purchasing power of the consumer dollar published by a governmental agency, major bank, other financial institution, university, or recognized financial publisher. If the CPI is available on a monthly (or alternating monthly) basis, the CPI for the months in which (or immediately preceding, as the case may be) the Commencement Date and Adjustment Date respectively occur shall be used.

(i) groundskeeping, landscaping, parking lot maintenance, and janitorial services for the common areas of the Development, including amortization of capital expenses (including financing costs) incurred by Landlord after the Commencement Date in order to (A) comply with Laws, (B) reduce CAM Charges or Utilities, or (c) upgrade the utility, efficiency, or capacity of ally utility or telecommunication systems serving tenants of the Property; and

(b) Increased Taxes. An amount equal to Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the increase, if any, in total Real Estate Taxes paid or incurred by Landlord during each Adjustment Period which exceeds the amount of “Base Real Estate Taxes,” which shall mean the total of Real Estate Taxes paid or incurred by Landlord during the Base Year. “Real Estate Taxes” means any and all ad valorem real property taxes and any form of assessment, levy, charge, or other imposition as shown on Landlord’s tax statement from the County Assessor which Landlord shall pay during any Adjustment Period because of or in connection with the ownership, leasing, or operation of the Development, together with reasonable legal and other professional fees, costs, and disbursements incurred in connection with proceedings to contest, determine or reduce Real Estate Taxes.

page 4 of 23

Suite 3C (8,073 rsf)


Cost paid or incurred by Landlord during the Base Year. “Insurance Costs” means all insurance premiums for any insurance policies covering the Development deemed necessary or desirable by Landlord as determined by Landlord in accordance with the reasonable practice of prudent landlords in the vicinity of the Development (including public liability, property damage, earthquake if commercially reasonable, and fire and extended coverage insurance for the full replacement cost of the Building and any other structure of the Development as required by Landlord or its lenders for the Development).

As used herein, “Adjustment Period” means each calendar year of which any portion occurs during the Term, excluding the Base Year and beginning with the Adjustment Date (January 1st) that occurs in the first calendar year immediately following the Base Year; and “Tenant’s Pro Rata Share” means the percentage labeled as such in the Table in § 1 above, calculated by dividing the agreed rentable area of the Premises (numerator) by the agreed rentable area of the Development (denominator) and expressing the resulting quotient as a percentage. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be increased during the Term in proportion to any increase in the area of the Premises in accordance with the formula stated herein.

2.3.2 Exclusions from CAM Charges. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this § 2.3 et seq., Cam Charges shall not include (A) depreciation, interest, and amortization on any mortgage or deed of trust or other debt costs or ground lease payments, if any; (B) legal fees in connection with leasing, tenant disputes, or enforcement of leases; (C) real estate brokers’ leasing commissions; (D) improvements or alterations to tenant spaces; (E) the cost of providing any utility or service directly to, and reimbursed or paid directly by, any tenant; (F) any costs expressly excluded from CAM Charges elsewhere in this Lease; (G) costs of arty items to the extent Landlord receives reimbursement from insurance proceeds or from a third party (such proceeds to be deducted from CAM Charges in the year in which received); (H) capital expenditures, except those expressly permitted above; provided, all such permitted capital expenditures (together with reasonable financing charges) shall be amortized for purposes of this Lease over the shorter of (x) their useful lives, (y) the period during which the reasonably estimated savings in Operating Expenses equals the expenditures, or (z) three (3) years.

2.3.3 Manner of Payment. To provide for current payments of the Rental Adjustment, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent during each Adjustment Period an amount equal to Landlord’s estimate of the Rental Adjustment which will be payable by Tenant for such Adjustment Period. Such payments shall be made in monthly installments, commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which Landlord notifies Tenant of the amount it is to pay hereunder and continuing until the first day of the month following the month in which Landlord gives Tenant a new notice of the estimated Rental Adjustment. It is the intention hereunder to estimate from time to time the amount of Tenant’s Rental Adjustment for each Adjustment Period and then to effect a reconciliation in the following year based on the actual expenses incurred for the preceding Adjustment Period, as provided in § 2.3.4 below.

2.3.4 Reconciliation. On or before the first day of April of each year after the first Adjustment Period (or as soon thereafter as is practical), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement (the “Statement”) setting forth the Rental Adjustment for the preceding year. If the actual Rental Adjustment for the preceding Adjustment Period exceeds the total of the estimated monthly payments made by Tenant for such Adjustment Period, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of the deficiency within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Statement. If such total of estimated payments made exceeds the actual Rental Adjustment for such Adjustment Period, then Tenant shall receive a credit for the difference against payments of Rent next due. If the credit is due from Landlord on the Expiration Date, Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of the credit, less any Rent then due. The obligations of Tenant and Landlord to make payments required under this § 2.3.4 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease. Upon request, tenant may review insurance premiums, policies, and tax bills within thirty (30) days of the Statement.

Suite 3C (8,073 rsf)


2.3.5 Proration of Rental Adjustment. If the Term does not commence on January 1 or does not end on December 31, Tenant’s obligations to pay estimated and actual amounts towards Real Estate Taxes, CAM Charges, and Insurance Costs for such first or final calendar year shall be prorated to reflect the portion of such year(s) included in the Term. Such proration shall be made by multiplying the total estimated or actual (as the case may be) Real Estate Taxes, CAM Charges, and / or Insurance Costs (as the case may be) for such calendar year(s), as well as the Base Real Estate Taxes, Base CAM Charges, and / or Base Insurance Costs (as the case may be), by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days of the Term during such calendar year, and the denominator of which shall be three hundred sixty-five (365).

2.3.6 Gross-up. If the Building is less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during the Base Year or any Adjustment Period, then CAM Charges, Insurance Costs, and Real Estate Taxes for such Base Year or Adjustment Period (as the case maybe) shall be “grossed up” to that amount of CAM Charges, Insurance Costs, and Real Estate Taxes that, using reasonable projections, would normally have been incurred during such Base Year or Adjustment Period (as the case may be) if the Building had been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during such Base Year or Adjustment Period (as the case may be), as determined in accordance with sound accounting and management practices, consistently applied. Only those component elements or items of expense of CAM Charges, Insurance Costs, and Real Estate Taxes that are affected by variations in occupancy levels shall be grossed up.

2.4 Payment of Rent. Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent promptly when due, without demand therefor and without any abatement, deduction, or setoff whatsoever, except as may be expressly provided in this Lease. Tenant shall pay the Rent to Landlord, in lawful money of the United States of America, at Landlord’s office at the Building or at such other place, or to such agent and at such place, as Landlord may designate by notice to Tenant. If the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for such calendar month shall be prorated, and the balance of the first month’s Base Rent theretofore paid shall be credited against the next monthly installment of Base Rent.

2.5 Late Charges. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any monthly Rent will cause Landlord to lose the use of that money and incur costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, including administrative and collection costs and processing and account expenses, the exact amount of which it is difficult to ascertain. Therefore, if any such installment is not received by Landlord within ten (10) days from the date it is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such installment. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for the loss suffered from such nonpayment by Tenant. In addition, any check returned by the bank for any reason will be considered late and will be subject to all late charges plus a Twenty Dollar ($20.00) fee. After two such occasions in any twelve (12) month period, Landlord will have the right to require payment by a cashier’s check or money order. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such nonpayment by Tenant nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Landlord under this Lease or at law.

3 SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the amount of Twenty Thousand One Hundred Eighty-Two Dollars and Fifty Cents ($20,132.50) (the “Security Deposit”) upon Tenant’s execution and submission of this Lease. The Security Deposit shall serve as security for the prompt, full, and faithful performance by Tenant of the terms and provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from Landlord’s general funds or pay interest on the Security Deposit.

3.1 Application of Deposit. In the event that Tenant is in Default hereunder and fails to cure within any applicable time permitted under this Lease, or in the event that Tenant owes any amounts to Landlord upon the expiration of this Lease, Landlord may use or apply the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. The use or application of the Security Deposit or any portion thereof shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided hereunder or under any Law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages.

3.2 Restoration of Full Deposit. In the event the Security Deposit is reduced by such use or application, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, within ten (10) days after written notice, an amount sufficient to restore the full amount of the Security Deposit. If the Premises shall be expanded at any time, or if the Term shall be extended at any increased rate of Rent, the Security Deposit shall thereupon be proportionately increased.

3.3 Disposition of Security Deposit. After the Expiration Date or any earlier termination of the Lease, any remaining portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant in accordance with the provisions of § 1950.7 of the California Civil Code.

4 USE. The Premises are to be used for general office space, oncological laboratory testing and analysis, including organic and inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, animal testing, and radioactive syntheis and testing and related uses, and for no other purpose without prior written consent of Landlord.

4.1 Prohibited Uses. Tenant shall not use any portion of the Premises for purposes other than those specified hereinabove, and no use shall be made or permitted to be made upon the Premises, nor acts done, which will increase the existing rate of insurance upon the property, or cause cancellation of insurance policies covering said property. Tenant shall not conduct or permit any sale by auction on the Premises. Tenant shall not use, release or store or permit the usage, release, or storage of restricted by Department of Health Services, California Water Quality Control Board, Environmental Protection Agency, or any other governmental agency or entity, and Tenant shall comply with all environmental laws, regulations, rules and requirements applicable to the Premises. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, judgements, demands, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from Tenant’s breach of the above covenants. Tenant shall not commit any waste upon the Premises or any nuisance or act which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any tenant in the Building.

5 CONDITION OF PREMISES. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any “Work Letter Agreement” which may be executed by Landlord and Tenant concurrently with their execution of this Lease and attached hereto as Exhibit D, Tenant shall accept the Premises (and the Systems and Equipment serving the same) in an “as is” condition on the date the Term commences, and Landlord shall have no obligation to improve, alter, remodel, or otherwise modify the Premises prior to Tenant’s occupancy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HVAC units, fume hoods, building wiring and plumbing, and lighting shall all be in working condition.

5.1.1 Landlord’s Work. The parties agree that Landlord’s entire obligation as to the Work shall be at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (i) to enclose the perimeter of the Premises so as to separately demise them from any other premises in the Building and (ii) to adjust the location of three (3) doors in the Premises as agreed by the parties.

5.1.2 Tenant’s Improvement Allowance. In addition to Landlord’s performance of the Work specified in § 5.1.1 above, Landlord agrees to make available to Tenant an improvement allowance in the amount of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) (the “Allowance”) to be utilized by Tenant to pay the cost of any Tenant’s Work that Tenant may elect to complete in the Premises in connection with its preparations for the occupancy of the Premises. Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant for the cost of the Tenant’s Work, up to the maximum amount of the Allowance, promptly after receipt from Tenant of invoices, paid receipts, and such other documentation as Landlord may reasonably require in connection with Tenant’s completion of Tenant’s Work. Tenant agrees that the Allowance shall be repaid to Landlord as Additional Rent in monthly installments of Thirty Dollars and Eighty Eight cents ($30.88) per month for each increment of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) or part thereof that Tenant elects to draw of the available Supplementary Allowance as provided herein, which increase assumes an amortization period of three (3) years Tenant agrees promptly to execute and deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Lease to reflect the increase in the Rent thereunder which results from the utilization of the Allowance described herein as soon as the amount of such increase is liquidated and as soon as such amendment is presented to Tenant for execution. The increase shall be deemed an item of Additional Rent under § 2.3 above. Tenant agrees that the unamortized portion of the Supplementary Allowance shall be immediately due and payable to Landlord if Tenant defaults under the Lease or if the Lease terminates for any reason prior to the Expiration Date specified in the Table in the Lease.

5.2 Readiness for Occupancy. The Premises shall be deemed ready for occupancy on the earliest date on which all of the following conditions (the “Occupancy Conditions”) have first been met:

(a) Substantial Completion of Work. The Work has been substantially completed; and it shall be so deemed notwithstanding the fact that minor or insubstantial details of construction, mechanical adjustment, or decoration remain to be performed, the noncompletion of which does not materially interfere with Tenant’s beneficial use of the Premises for their intended purposes;

(b) Access and Services. Reasonable means of access and facilities necessary to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, including corridors, elevators, stairways, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, sanitary, water, and electrical facilities (but exclusive of parking facilities) have been installed and are in reasonably good operating order and available to Tenant; and

(c) Certificate of Occupancy or Completion. A certificate of occupancy, certificate of completion, final inspection card, or similar required governmental approval (temporary or final) has been issued by the City of Berkeley permitting use of the Premises for office and laboratory purposes.

5.2.2 Tenant Delays. If the occurrence of any of the Occupancy Conditions and Landlord’s preparation of the Premises for occupancy shall be delayed owing to either (a) any act, omission, or failure of Tenant or any of its employees, agents, or contractors which shall continue after Landlord shall have given Tenant reasonable notice that such act, omission, or failure would result in delay, and such delay shall have been unavoidable by Landlord in the exercise of reasonable diligence and prudence; or (b) the nature of any items of additional work or change orders that Landlord undertakes to perform for the account of Tenant (including any delays incurred by Landlord, after making reasonable efforts, in procuring any materials, equipment, or fixtures of a kind or nature

not used by Landlord as part of its standard construction) (collectively “Tenant Delays”), then the Premises shall be deemed ready for occupancy on the date when they would have been ready but for such Tenant Delays.

5.3 Early Entry. During any period that Tenant shall be permitted to enter the Premises prior to the Commencement Date other than to occupy the same (e.g., to perform alterations or improvements), Tenant shall comply with all terms and provisions of this Lease, except those provisions requiring the payment of Rent. Landlord shall permit early entry, provided the Premises are legally available and Landlord has completed any Work required under this Lease.

5.4 Notice of Defects. It shall be conclusively presumed upon Tenant’s taking actual possession of the Premises that the same were in satisfactory condition (except for latent defects) as of the date of such taking of possession, unless within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date Tenant shall give Landlord notice in writing specifying the respects in which the Premises were not in satisfactory condition.

5.5 Systems and Equipment. As used in this Lease, “Systems and Equipment” means collectively any existing plant, machinery, transformers, duct work, fume hoods, intrabuilding network cables and wires that transmit voice, data, and other telecommunications signals (“INC”), and other equipment, facilities, and systems designed to supply water, heat, ventilation, air conditioning and humidity or any other services or utilities, or comprising or serving as any component or portion of the electrical, gas, steam, plumbing, sprinkler, communications, alarm, security, or fire/life/safety systems or equipment, or any other mechanical, electrical, electronic, computer, or other systems or equipment for the Building.

6 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant agrees that it shall not assign, sublet, mortgage, hypothecate, or encumber this Lease, nor permit or allow the Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not unreasonably be witheld. The actions described in the foregoing sentence are referred to collectively herein as “Transfers.” Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of its intent to effectuate any Transfer not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of any such proposed Transfer. If the Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the subtenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved; but no Transfer, occupancy, or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions hereof, the acceptance of the subtenant or occupant as tenant or a release of Tenant from the further performance hereunder by Tenant. The consent by Landlord to a Transfer shall not relieve Tenant from obtaining the Landlord’s express written consent to any further Transfer. In no event shall any permitted sublessee assign or encumber its sublease or further sublet all or any portion of its sublet space, or otherwise suffer or permit the sublet space or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others, without Landlord’s prior written consent in each instance.

(ii) Tenant’s insurance shall be issued as primary and noncontributory;

(iii) Tenant’s liability and property insurance policies shall name Tenant as the insured and Landlord, Landlord’s agents, and any ground lessors and Holders (as such terms are defined in § 26) whose names shall have been furnished to Tenant as additional insureds;

13.3 Blanket Coverage. All of the insurance requirements set forth herein on the part of Tenant to be observed shall be deemed satisfied if the Premises are covered by a blanket insurance policy complying with the limits, requirements, and criteria contained in this § 13 et. seq. insuring all or most of Tenant’s facilities in California.

13.4 Evidence of Coverage.

14 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. To the maximum extent permitted by insurance policies which Landlord and Tenant are required to maintain under §§ 12 and 13 above, Tenant and Landlord, for the benefit of each other, waive any and all rights of subrogation which might otherwise exist. Landlord and Tenant intend that their respective property loss risks shall be borne by responsible insurance carriers to the extent above provided, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek recovery only from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a property loss to the extent that such coverage is agreed to be provided hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may apply, and bill Tenant as Additional Rent for, an equitable allocation, as determined in Landlord’s reasonable judgement, of the costs of any unmetered services consumed by Tenant in the Premises in any case where Tenant’s usage of such unmetered services is reasonably calculated to be disproportionate to that of other Tenants in the Building.

15.1 Interruption of Services. Landlord does not warrant that any services or utilities provided hereunder for Tenant’s use in the Premises will be free from shortages, failures, variations, or

 

626 Bancroft Way Office Lease

Suite 3C (8,073 rsf)


interruptions caused by repairs, maintenance, replacements, improvements, alterations, changes of service, strikes, lockouts, labor controversies, accidents, inability to obtain services, fuel, steam, water, or supplies, governmental requirements or requests, or other causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, including interference with light or other incorporeal hereditaments and any interruption in services or any failure to provide services to Landlord by a designated utility company at the demarcation point at which Landlord accepts responsibility for such service or at any point prior thereto, which interference impedes Landlord in furnishing plumbing, HVAC, electrical, sanitary, life safety, elevator, telecommunications, or other Building services, utilities, or the Systems and Equipment. None of the same shall be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or any part thereof, shall render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of Rent, or shall relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord in no event shall be liable for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption, or other compensatory or consequential damages.

15.2 Additional Services or Utilities.

Landlord may comply with written or oral requests by any officer or employee of Tenant, unless Tenant shall notify Landlord of, or Landlord shall request, the names of authorized individuals and procedures for written requests. Use of the Premises, or any part thereof, in a manner exceeding the design conditions (including occupancy and connected electrical load) for the heating or cooling units in the Premises, or rearrangement of partitioning which interferes with normal operation of the HVAC system in the Premises, may require changes in the HVAC system servicing the Premises. Such changes shall be made by Tenant at its expense. Tenant shall not change or adjust any closed or sealed thermostat or other element of the HVAC system without Landlord’s express prior written consent. Tenant shall, for such extra utilities or services, pay such charges as Landlord shall from time to time establish.

17 CONDEMNATION. If any part of the Premises shall be taken or condemned for public use, and a part thereof remains which is susceptible of occupation hereunder, this Lease shall, as to the part taken, terminate as of the date the condemnor acquires possession, and thereafter Tenant shall be required to pay such proportion of the rent for the remaining term as remaining square footage of the Premises bears to the total original square footage of the Premises at the date of condemnation; provided, however, that Landlord at its option may terminate this Lease as of the date the condemnor acquires possession. In the event that the demised Premises are condemned in whole, or that a portion is condemned of such size that the remainder is not suitable for Tenant’s beneficial enjoyment of the Premises for their intended purposes, this Lease shall terminate upon the date upon which the condemner acquires possession. All sums which may be payable on

Suite 3C (8,073 rsf)


account of any condemnation shall belong to the Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any part thereof; provided however, that Tenant shall be entitled to retain any amount awarded to him for his trade fixtures or moving expenses.

18 SURRENDER AND RESTORATION. At or before the Expiration Date or the date of any earlier termination of this Lease, or as promptly as practicable using Tenant’s best efforts after such an earlier termination date, Tenant, at its expense, shall do all of the following:

(a) surrender possession of the Premises in the condition required under § 5 above, ordinary wear and tear excepted;

(b) surrender all keys, any key cards, and any parking stickers or cards to Landlord and give Landlord in writing the combinations of any locks or vaults then remaining in the Premises;

(c) remove from the Premises all of Tenant’s Property, except such items thereof as Tenant shall have expressly agreed in writing with Landlord were to remain and to become the property of Landlord, which shall include the cold room and additional fume hoods; and

(d) fully repair any damage to the Premises or the Property resulting from such removal.

Tenant’s obligations herein shall survive the termination of the Lease. All improvements and other items in or upon the Premises (except Tenant’s Property), whether installed by Tenant or Landlord, shall be Landlord’s property and shall remain upon the Premises, all without compensation, allowance, or credit to Tenant; provided, however, that if prior to such termination Landlord so directs by notice, Tenant shall promptly remove such of the Improvements in the Premises as are designated in such notice and shall restore the Premises to their condition prior to the installation of such Improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not require removal of customary office improvements installed pursuant to the Work Letter Agreement, if any (except as expressly provided to the contrary therein), or installed by Tenant with Landlord’s written approval (except as expressly required by Landlord in connection with granting such approval).

18.2 Tenant’s Failure to Remove or Restore. If Tenant shall fail to perform any repairs or restoration or fail to remove any items from the Premises as required under this Article 18, Landlord may do so, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof upon demand. All property removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to any provisions of this Lease or any Law may be handled or stored by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation, or safekeeping thereof. All property not removed from the Premises or retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession shall at Landlord’s option be conclusively deemed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord as if by bill of sale without payment by Landlord. Unless prohibited by applicable Laws, Landlord shall have a lien against such property for the costs incurred in removing and storing the same.

19 DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES. Landlord and Tenant agree that their respective rights and obligations in the event of any damage or destruction of the Premises or Building shall be governed exclusively by this Lease. Tenant, as a material inducement to Landlord entering into this Lease, irrevocably waives and releases Tenant’s rights under California Civil Code §§ 1932(2), 1933(4), and 1942, as the same may be modified or replaced hereafter. No damages, compensation, or claim shall be payable by Landlord for any inconvenience, interruption, or cessation of Tenant’s business or any annoyance arising from any damage to or destruction of all or any portion of the Premises or Building.

19.1 Partial Destruction of Premises. In the event of a partial destruction of the Premises during the term hereof from any cause, Landlord shall forthwith repair the same at Landlord’s expense, provided

Bancroft Way, LLC:: Oncologic, Inc.

page 17 of 23

Suite 3C (8,073 rsf)


that such repairs can be made within sixty (60) days under existing Laws; but such partial destruction shall not terminate this Lease, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of Rent while such repairs are being made, based upon the extent to which the making of such repairs shall interfere with Tenant’s beneficial enjoyment of the Premises for their intended purposes. If such repairs cannot be made within sixty (60) days, Landlord at its option may make the same within a reasonable time, this Lease continuing in effect with the rent proportionately abated as aforesaid; and in the event that Landlord shall not elect to make such repairs which cannot be made within sixty (60) days, this Lease may be terminated by either party upon written notice, effective as of the date of such notice.

19.2 Destruction of Building. In the event that the Building is destroyed to an extent of not less than one-third of the replacement costs thereof, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Premises be injured or not. A total destruction of the Building shall terminate this Lease.

19.3 Disputes. In the event of any dispute between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the provisions hereof, the matter shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of § 25 below.

20 TENANTS DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a material breach and default (“Event of Default”) of this Lease by Tenant:

(a) Tenant’s failure to pay any Rent or any other charges required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, where such failure continues for ten (10) days after such payment is due and payable;

(b) Tenant’s failure promptly and fully to perform any other covenant, condition, or agreement contained in this Lease, where such failure continues for thirty (50) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant;

(c) Tenant’s failure to comply with the Rules, unless such failure is cured within five (5) days after notice; provided, that if the nature of Tenant’s failure is such that more than five (5) days are reasonably required in order to cure, Tenant shall not be in Default if Tenant commences to cure within such period and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes such cure to completion;

(j) In any proceeding or action in which Tenant is a party, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, agent, or custodian to take charge of the Premises or Tenant’s Property for the purpose of enforcing a lien against the Premises or Tenant’s Property.

The parties expressly agree that any notice which Landlord may give to Tenant that an Event of Default has occurred under this § 20 above shall satisfy the requirements of § 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, and it shall not be necessary to give another notice to Tenant under § 1161.

20.2 Landlord’s Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Landlord shall have the right, in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have, at Landlord’s option, without further notice or demand of any kind, to elect to do one of the following alternatives:

(a) Terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, re-enter the Premises, and take possession thereof; and Tenant shall have no further claim to the Premises or under this Lease; or

(b) Continue this Lease in effect and collect any unpaid Rent or other charges which have theretofore accrued or which thereafter become due and payable. It is intended hereunder that Landlord have the remedy described in California Civil Code § 1951.4, which provides that a landlord may continue a lease in effect after a tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if tenant has the right to sublease or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations.

In the event of any re-entry or retaking of possession by Landlord, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove all or any part of Tenant’s Property from the Premises and to place such property in storage at a public warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant.

20.3 No Waiver of Default. The waiver by Landlord of any Event of Default or of any other breach of any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant; or condition or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant, or condition. Acceptance of Rent by Landlord subsequent to any Event of Default or breach hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any preceding Event of Default or breach other than the failure to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of any breach at the time of such acceptance of Rent. Landlord shall not be deemed to have waived any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease, unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such waiver. Tenant should not rely upon Landlord’s failure or delay in enforcing any right or remedy hereunder.

20.4 Landlord’s Right to Cure. If Tenant defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), without waiving such default, perform the same for the account and at the expense of Tenant. Tenant shall pay Landlord all costs of such performance promptly upon receipt of a bill therefor.

20.5 Damages. Should Landlord elect to terminate this Lease under the provisions of § 20.2(a) above, Landlord may recover as damages from Tenant the following:

(i) Past Rent: The worth at the time of the award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; plus

(ii) Rent Prior to Award: The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

page 19 of 23

Suite 3C (8,073 rsf)


(iii) Rent After Award: The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(iv) Proximately Caused Damages: Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), incurred by Landlord in (I) retaking possession of the Premises; (ii) maintaining the Premises after Tenant’s default; (iii) preparing the Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including any repairs or alterations; and (iv) reletting the Premises, including brokers’ commissions.

“The worth at the time of the award” as used in subsections (a) and (b) above is to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. “The worth at the time of the award” as used in subsection (c) above is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank situated nearest to the Premises at the time of the award plus one percent (1%).

21 RULES. Tenant agrees that it will abide by, keep and observe all reasonable rules and regulations which Landlord may make from time to time for the management, safety, care, and cleanliness of the Building and grounds, the parking of vehicles and the preservation of good order herein as well as for the convenience of other occupants and tenants of the Building. The violations of any such rules and regulations shall be deemed a material breach of this Lease by Tenant.

Each such notice shall be addressed to the intended recipient at such party’s address set forth as follows, or at such other address as such party has theretofore specified by written notice delivered in accordance with this § 22:

Suite 3C (8,073 rsf)


24 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant shall at any time upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice from Landlord execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying (1) 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), the amount of any security deposit, and the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any; and (2) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer to the Premises. At Landlord’s option, Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be a material breach of this Lease or shall be conclusive upon Tenant that (1) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (2) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and (3) not more than one month’s rent has been paid in advance or such failure maybe considered by Landlord as a default by Tenant under this Lease. If Landlord desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, or any part thereof, Tenant hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or purchaser designated by Landlord such financial statements of Tenant as may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser. Such statements shall include the past three years’ financial statements of Tenant. All such financial statements shall be received by Landlord and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

25 ARBITRATION. In the event of any dispute between Landlord and Tenant arising under this Lease that is not resolved by the parties within ten (10) days after the date either party gives notice to the other of its desire to arbitrate the dispute (the “Outside Agreement Date”), the dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration as provided in this § 25 and under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect; provided, however, that nothing in this § 25 shall limit Landlord’s right to bring an unlawful detainer action against Tenant if appropriate. All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted at Berkeley, California. Judgement upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrators shall have no power to change the Lease provisions. Both parties shall continue performing their Lease obligations pending the award in the arbitration proceeding. The arbitrators shall award the prevailing party reasonable expenses and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees pursuant to § 25.3 below, plus interest on the amount due at eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum then allowed by Law, whichever is less.

25.1 Procedure. Not later than fifteen (15) days following the Outside Agreement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall be a real estate professional who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the appraisal and/or leasing of commercial properties in the vicinity of the Building, The two arbitrators so appointed shall within fifteen (15) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two arbitrators. Within three (3) business days following the appointment of the third arbitrator, each party shall submit to the arbitrators its best estimate of the correct solution to the dispute under submission (the “Estimated Determination”). The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s Estimated Determination of the dispute under arbitration is closer to the arbitrators’ independent determination of the dispute, taking into account any definitions or other sections of the Lease which may be applicable to the dispute. The three arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s Estimated Determination and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. The decision of the majority of the three arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

25.2 Failure to Agree. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date, or if the two arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, both arbitrators shall be dismissed; and the matter to be decided shall be forthwith submitted to arbitration under the current rules of the American Arbitration Association, but subject to any definitions or sections of the Lease which may be applicable to the dispute under submission.

25.3 Payment. The losing party shall pay to the prevailing party the amount of the final arbitration award. If payment is not made within ten (10) business days after the date the arbitration award is no longer appealable, then in addition to any remedies under the law, if Landlord is the prevailing party, it shall have the same remedies for failure to pay the arbitration award as it has for Tenant’s failure to pay Rent; and if Tenant is the prevailing party, it may deduct any remaining award from its monthly payment of Rent or other charges.

26 SUBORDINATION. Tenant agrees that this Lease shall be automatically subordinate to any mortgage or trust deeds that are now or may hereafter be placed upon said Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant agrees that any mortgagee of the Building, the holder of any note, or beneficiary of any deed of trust (collectively “Holders”) encumbering the Building shall have the right upon written notice to Tenant to subordinate the lien of any such note or deed of trust to this Lease.

27 LANDLORDS LIABILITY. The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any default by Landlord under this Lease or arising in connection herewith or with Landlord’s operation, management, leasing, repair, renovation, alteration, or any other matter relating to the Building or the Premises shall be limited to the interest of Landlord in the Building (and the rental proceeds thereof). Under no circumstances shall Landlord ever be liable for consequential or punitive damages, including damages for lost profits or for business interruption. Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Building (and the rental proceeds thereof) for the recovery of any judgement against Landlord, and Landlord shall not be personally liable for any such judgement or deficiency after execution thereon. The limitations of liability contained in this § 27 shall apply equally and inure to the benefit of Landlord’s present and future partners, beneficiaries, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, agents, and employees, and their respective partners, heirs, successors, and assigns. Under no circumstances shall any present or future general or limited partner of Landlord (if Landlord is a partnership), or trustee or beneficiary (if Landlord or any partner of Landlord is a trust) have any liability for the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease.

27.1 Liability Upon Transfer. The term Landlord as used herein shall mean only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title of leased Premises and in the event of any transfer of such title or interest, Landlord herein named shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all liability as respects Landlord’s obligations thereafter to be performed, provided that any funds in the hands of Landlord at the time of such transfer, in which Tenant has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee. The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Landlord shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on Landlord’s successors and assigns, only during their respective periods of ownership.

28 MISCELLANEOUS. The following provisions shall apply generally to terms, provisions, and covenants of this Lease:

28.1 No Offer. The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease, or a reservation of, or option for, the Premises. This document becomes effective and binding only upon execution and delivery hereof by Tenant and by Landlord. No act or omission of any employee or agent of Landlord or of Landlord’s broker shall alter, change, or modify any of the provisions hereof.

28.2 No Partnership. It is expressly understood that Landlord does not, in any way or for any purpose, become a partner of Tenant in the conduct of its business, or otherwise, or joint adventurer or a member of a joint enterprise with Tenant, and that the provisions of this Lease relating to the percentage rental payable hereunder, if any, are included solely for the purpose of providing a method whereby the rental is to be measured and ascertained.

28.4 Time. Time is of the essence of this Lease.

28.5 Waiver. No failure of Landlord to enforce any term hereof shall be deemed to be a waiver.

28.6 Attorney’s fees.
