    3



(b)Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Offering Spaces are currently
leased to existing tenants. Prior to the date Landlord offers an Offering Space for lease to a potential third-party tenant or other potential occupant (other than to Bayer Healthcare LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; “Bayer”), who has a superior right of first offer on spaces on the 3rd floor of the Building, as to any such Offering Space on the 3rd floor), Landlord shall advise Tenant (the “Advice”) of the terms under which Landlord is prepared to lease such Offering Space to Tenant, which terms shall reflect Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rent (as specified in Section 9(d) below). Tenant may lease such Offering Space in its entirety only, under such terms, by delivering written notice of exercise to Landlord (the “Notice of Exercise”) within 15 days after the date of the Advice, except that Tenant shall have no such Right of First Offer, and Tenant may not exercise its right under this Section 9, if: (i) at the time that Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice, a Default on the part of Tenant exists under the Lease; (ii) more than twenty percent (20%) of the Premises is sublet at the time Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; (iii) Tenant is not occupying the entire Premises (other than the up to 20% sublet referenced in subsection (ii) above) at the time Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; (iv) the Offering Space is not intended for the exclusive use of Tenant; or (v) Tenant cannot demonstrate to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that Tenant’s creditworthiness is sufficient in light of the increased Rent obligations associated with the Offering Space. Tenant shall deliver evidence of Tenant’s creditworthiness concurrently with delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
(c)The term with respect to the Offering Space (the “Offering Space Term”) shall be as stated in the Advice and upon commencement of the Offering Space Term, the Offering Space shall be considered a part of the Premises, provided that all of the terms stated in the Advice shall govern Tenant’s leasing of the Offering Space and only to the extent that they do not conflict with the Advice, the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the Offering Space. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Offering Space to Tenant on the commencement of the Offering Space Term as stated in the Advice, Landlord shall not be liable for any claims, damages or liabilities by reason thereof, but the Offering Space Term shall commence upon the date possession of the Offering Space is delivered by Landlord to Tenant. The Offering Space shall be accepted by Tenant in “AS IS” condition (unless otherwise stated in the Advice), and Landlord’s only obligation with respect to the condition of the Offering Space as of the commencement of the Offering Space Term shall be to deliver such Offering Space in such condition.
(d)Tenant shall pay Monthly Base Rent for the Offering Space at the rate or rates set forth in the Advice, which rate or rates shall reflect the Fair Market Rent for the Offering Space as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable judgment. For purposes of this Right of First Offer provision, “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the net effective annual rental rate per square foot for space comparable to the Offering Space in the Building and office buildings comparable to the Building in Emeryville, California under leases and renewal and expansion amendments being entered into at or about the time that the Fair Market Rent is being determined, giving appropriate consideration to tenant credit capability, tenant concessions, brokerage commissions, tenant improvement
    4



allowances, and the method of allocating operating expenses and taxes when the net effective rate is being calculated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, space leased under any of the following circumstances shall not be considered to be comparable for purposes hereof: (i) the lease term is for materially less than the lease term of the Offering Space, (ii) the space is encumbered by the option rights of another tenant, or (iii) the space has a lack of windows and/or an awkward or unusual shape or configuration. The foregoing is not intended to be an exclusive list of space that will not be considered to be comparable. The determination of Fair Market Rent shall also take into consideration any reasonably anticipated changes in the Fair Market Rent from the time such Fair Market Rent is being determined and the time such Fair Market Rent will become effective under the Lease as well as other factors typically considered in Fair Market Rent determinations, including but not limited to delivery date and rent commencement date.
(e)The Right of First Offer shall terminate on the earliest to occur of: (i) Tenant’s failure to exercise its Right of First Offer within the 15-day period provided in Section 9(b) above as to the Offering (subject to the provisions of Section 9(f) below and unless and until such Offering Space again becomes vacant and available for lease); (ii) the date Landlord would have provided Tenant with an Advice if Tenant had not been in violation of one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 9(b), unless and until such Offering Space again becomes vacant and available for lease; (iii) the date Tenant has leased (or failed to deliver Notices of Exercise for) at least 30,000 square feet of Rentable Area of Offering Space(s) pursuant to this Section 9; or (iv) the expiration of the Extended Term.
(f)If Tenant does not deliver a Notice of Exercise for an Offering Space within the 15-day period specified in Section 9(b) above, then Landlord shall be free to lease the Offering Space to anyone to whom Landlord desires on substantially the same terms as stated in the Advice for such Offering Space for the nine (9)-month period following the expiration of such 15-day period (the “Offering Space Marketing Period”). If during the Offering Space Marketing Period, Landlord receives a bona fide offer to lease the Offering Space on terms that result in a net effective rent that is 93% or less than the terms stated in the Advice for such Offering Space, and Landlord desires to accept such bona fide offer to lease, then Landlord shall deliver a new Advice to Tenant that reflects such bona fide offer. Tenant may lease the Offering Space in its entirety only, under such revised terms, by delivering the Notice of Exercise within 15 days after the date of the new Advice. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that either Landlord’s leasing of the Offering Space to a third party pursuant to the terms set forth in the Advice, or the re-offering of the Offering Space to Tenant, in each case pursuant to this Section 9(f), shall be deemed an accurate determination of Fair Market Rent for the Offering Space.
(g)If Tenant exercises its Right of First Offer as to any of the Offering Spaces, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “Offering Amendment”) adding the subject Offering Space to the Premises on the terms set forth in the Advice and reflecting the changes in the Monthly Base Rent, Rentable Area of the Premises and other appropriate terms. A copy of the Offering Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after Landlord’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise executed by Tenant, and Tenant shall execute and return the Offering Amendment to Landlord within 15 days thereafter, but an otherwise valid exercise of the Right of First Offer shall be fully effective whether or not the Offering Amendment is prepared and/or executed.
(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s Right of First Offer is subject and subordinate to the expansion rights (whether such rights
    5



are designated as a right of first offer, right of first refusal, expansion option or otherwise) of Bayer existing as of the date of this Amendment.
(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s rights under this Section 9 are personal to the original Tenant executing this Amendment or a Permitted Transferee (“Named Tenant”) and shall not be assigned or assignable, in whole or in part, to any third-party. Any assignment or other transfer of such rights by Named Tenant shall be void and of no force or effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no sublessee of the Premises shall be permitted to exercise the rights granted to Tenant under this Section 9.
10.Renewal Option.
(a)Tenant shall have the option to renew the Term for one (1) additional term of ten (10) years (the “Renewal Option”), commencing upon expiration of the Extended Term (the “Renewal Term”). The Renewal Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice given by Tenant to Landlord not earlier than fifteen (15) months nor later than twelve (12) months prior to expiration of the Extended Term, and must be exercised as to the entire Premises (as the same exists as of the date of exercise). If Tenant properly exercises the Renewal Option, references in the Lease to the Term shall be deemed to mean the Renewal Term, unless the context clearly provides otherwise. The Renewal Option shall be null and void and Tenant shall have no right to renew this Lease if on the date Tenant exercises the Renewal Option or on the date immediately preceding the commencement date of the Renewal Term a Default beyond the applicable cure period shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder.
(b)If Tenant properly exercises the Renewal Option, then during the Renewal Term, all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease as applicable to the Premises during the Extended Term shall apply during the Renewal Term, including without limitation the obligation to pay Operating Expenses and Taxes, except that (i) Tenant shall take the Premises in their then “as-is” state and condition and Landlord shall have no obligation to make or pay for any improvements to the Premises, and (ii) during the Renewal Term the Monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant shall be 100% of the monthly Fair Market Rent during the Renewal Term as hereinafter set forth.
(a)For purposes of this Section, the term “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the triple netrental rate periodic rental rate adjustment and other charges and increases, if any, for space comparable in size, location and quality of the Premises under primary lease (and not sublease) to new or renewing tenants, for a comparable term with a tenant improvement allowance and other concessions (including rent concessions), if applicable and taking into consideration such amenities as existing improvements, view, floor on which the Premises are situated and the like, situated in comparable buildings in Emeryville or Berkeley. The Fair Market Rent shall not take into account any Tenant Alterations paid for by Tenant.

(b)If Tenant properly exercises the Renewal Option to extend the term of the Lease, Landlord, by notice to Tenant not more than thirty (30) days after Tenant’s exercise of the Renewal Option, shall indicate Landlord’s determination of 100% of the Fair Market Rent. Tenant, within thirty (30) days after date on which Landlord provides such notice of 100% of the Fair Market Rent shall either (i) give Landlord final binding written notice (“Binding Notice”) of Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s determination of 100% of the Fair Market Rent, or (ii) if Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination, provide
    6



Landlord with written notice of Tenant’s election to submit the Fair Market Rent to binding arbitration (the “Arbitration Notice”) . If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with either a Binding Notice or Arbitration Notice within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall have been deemed to have given the Binding Notice. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Binding Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal Amendment (as defined below) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(c)If the parties are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rent for the Premises within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Arbitration Notice, Fair Market Rent as of commencement of the Renewal Term shall be determined as follows:

(i)Within twenty (20) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice specifying Fair Market Rent, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall obtain and deliver in writing to Landlord a determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises for a term equal to the Renewal Term from a broker or appraiser (“Tenant’s broker”) licensed in the State of California and engaged in the office and lab markets in Emeryville and Berkeley, California, for at least the immediately preceding five (5) years. If Landlord accepts such determination, Landlord shall provide written notice thereof within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of such determination and the Base Rent for the Renewal Term shall be adjusted to an amount equal to 100% of the Fair Market Rent determined by Tenant’s broker. Landlord shall be deemed to have rejected Tenant’s determination if Landlord fails to respond within the ten (10) day period.
(ii)If Landlord provides notice that it does not accept such determination within twenty (20) days after receipt of the determination of Tenant’s broker, or is deemed to have rejected such determination, Landlord shall designate a broker or appraiser (“Landlord’s broker”) licensed in the State of California and possessing the qualifications set forth in (i) above. Landlord’s broker and Tenant’s broker shall name a third broker, similarly qualified and who is not then or has not previously acted for either party, within five (5) days after the appointment of Landlord’s broker (the “Neutral Broker”).
(iii)The Neutral Broker shall determine the Fair Market Rent for the Premises as of the commencement of the Renewal Term within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the Neutral Broker by choosing the determination of the Landlord’s broker or the Tenant’s broker which is closer to its own determination of Fair Market Rent. The decision of the Neutral Broker shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant.
Landlord shall pay the costs and fees of Landlord’s broker in connection with any determination hereunder, and Tenant shall pay the costs and fees of Tenant’s broker in connection with such determination. The costs and fees of the Neutral Broker shall be paid one-half by Landlord and one-half by Tenant.
(d)If the amount of the Fair Market Rent has not been determined pursuant to this Section 10 as of the commencement of the Renewal Term, then Tenant shall continue to pay the Base Rent in effect at the expiration of the Extended Term until the amount of the Fair Market Rent is determined. When such determination is made, Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord upon demand or Landlord shall credit any overage to Tenant.

Landlord shall have the right from time to time during any calendar year to provide a new or revised estimate of Operating Expenses and/or Taxes and to notify Tenant in writing thereof, of corresponding adjustments in Tenant’s Rent Adjustment Deposit payable over the remainder of such year, and of the amount or revised amount due allocable to months preceding such change.

Further, Tenant hereby authorizes (and agrees that Landlord shall have the authority to authorize) any electric or gas utility company providing service to the Building to disclose from time to time so much of the data collected and maintained by it regarding Tenant’s energy consumption data as may be necessary to cause the Building to participate in the ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager system and similar programs; and Tenant further authorizes Landlord to disclose information concerning energy use by Tenant, either individually or in combination with the energy use of other tenants, as applicable as Landlord determines to be necessary to comply with applicable Laws pertaining to the Building or Landlord’s ownership thereof.

12.Inspection by a CASp in Accordance with Civil Code Section 1938. Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938, Landlord hereby notifies Tenant that as of the Effective Date, the Premises have not undergone inspection by a “Certified Access Specialist” (“CASp”) to determine whether the Premises meet all applicable construction-related accessibility standards under California Civil Code Section 55.53. Landlord hereby discloses pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938 as follows: “A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.” Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that in the event that Tenant elects to perform a CASp inspection of the Premises hereunder (the “Inspection”), such Inspection shall be (a) performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, (b) limited to the Premises and (c) performed by a CASp who has been approved or designated by Landlord prior to the Inspection. Any Inspection must be performed in a manner which minimizes the disruption of business activities in the Building, and at a time reasonably approved by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right to be present during the Inspection. Tenant agrees to: (i) promptly provide to Landlord a copy of the report or certification prepared by the CASp inspector upon request (the “Report”), (ii) keep the information contained in the Report confidential, except to the extent required by Laws, or to the extent disclosure is needed in order to complete any necessary modifications or improvements required to comply with all
    10



applicable accessibility standards under state or federal law, as well as any other repairs, upgrades, improvements, modifications or alterations required by the Report or that may be otherwise required to comply with applicable Regulations or accessibility requirements (the “Access Improvements”). Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of Access Improvements to the Premises or the Building necessary to correct any such violations of construction-related accessibility standards identified by such Inspection as required by Laws, which Access Improvements may, at Landlord’s option, be performed in whole or in part by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, payable as additional rent within ten (10) days following Landlord’s demand. The terms and conditions of this Section 12 shall apply only in the event Tenant conducts an Inspection; otherwise, the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended, shall govern with respect to each of Landlord’s and Tenant’s liability for compliance with applicable Laws.
13.OFAC Representations. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that (a) each individual executing this Amendment on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so on behalf of Tenant and that Tenant is not, and the entities or individuals constituting Tenant or which may own or control Tenant or which may be owned or controlled by Tenant are not, (i) in violation of any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, or (ii) among the individuals or entities identified on any list compiled pursuant to Executive Order 13224 for the purpose of identifying suspected terrorists or on the most current list published by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control at its official website, http://www.treas.gov/ofac/tllsdn.pdf or any replacement website or other replacement official publication of such list, and (b) Tenant shall not engage in any actions in violation of any such laws or associate with such individuals or entities during the Term of the Lease.

14.Lease Status. As a material inducement to Landlord to enter into this Amendment, Tenant warrants, represents and certifies to Landlord that: (a) to the best of Tenant’s actual knowledge, Landlord is not in breach or default under the Lease, nor has any event occurred, which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a breach of default by Landlord; (b) Landlord has fully performed all of Landlord’s construction obligations (if any) and paid any tenant improvement allowance (if any) owing to Tenant; (c) Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises; (d) Tenant does not have any defenses or offsets to payment of rent and performance of its obligations under the Lease as and when same becomes due; (e) no actions, whether voluntary of otherwise, are pending against Tenant under the bankruptcy laws of the United States or any state thereof; (f) Tenant has not assigned the Lease or subleased any portion of the Premises; and (g) the Lease, as amended by this Amendment, constitutes the complete agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Premises, and there are no other amendments, oral or written, to the Lease.

Tenant agrees to keep the terms of the Lease and this Amendment confidential and shall not disclose same to any other person not a party hereto without the prior written consent of Landlord; however, Tenant may disclose the terms hereof to Tenant’s accountants, attorneys, managing employees, and others in privity with Tenant to the extent reasonably necessary for Tenant’s business purposes. The terms of this Lease may also be disclosed in response to a subpoena, court order or as otherwise required by law.
