THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE (“Second Amendment”) is made and entered into as of the 2nd day of August, 2022, by and between AG-LC 465 NORTH HALSTEAD OWNER, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”) and XENCOR, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).

R E C I T A L S:

A.Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease dated as of April 30, 2021 (the “Original Lease”), as modified by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of July 13, 2021 by and between Landlord and Tenant (“First Amendment”), whereby Landlord leased to Tenant and Tenant leased from Landlord certain space located in that certain building located and addressed at 465 North Halstead Street, Pasadena, California (the “Building”).  The Original Lease, as modified by the First Amendment, may be referred to herein as the “Lease.”
B.By this Second Amendment, Landlord and Tenant desire to convert a portion of the Premises to a common area lobby and to otherwise modify the Lease as provided herein.
C.Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms as used herein shall have the same meanings as given thereto in the Lease.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

A G R E E M E N T:

1.Premises.  Pursuant to the Lease, Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, the Premises.  The Premises include that certain space on the second (2nd) floor of the Building commonly known as Suites 200 and 225 containing 83,082 rentable square feet and identified in the Lease as the “Phase 1 Premises” as more particularly described in the Lease.
2.Tenant’s Work.  
2.1.Tenant’s Lobby Work.  Tenant shall, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Tenant Work Letter attached to the Lease, reconfigure a portion of the Building to create a lobby to be shared equally in common by Tenant and the Existing Tenant (“Tenant’s Lobby Work”).  The proposed configuration of the lobby is depicted on Exhibit “A” attached hereto; provided, however, that the actual plans and specifications for Tenant’s Lobby Work, to the extent not set forth on Exhibit “A”  or not consistent therewith, shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval consistent with the terms of the Tenant Work Letter applicable to Landlord’s approval of the Tenant Improvements provided, further, however, that Landlord hereby confirms that the Existing Tenant has no right to approve Tenant’s Lobby Work under the Existing Lease and has not otherwise been granted such right by Landlord.  Tenant’s Lobby Work shall be at Tenant’s

4856-4214-1959.9

391226.00001/8-25-22/MLT/pah


sole cost and expense except that Landlord will increase the Phase 1 Tenant Improvement Allowance by Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (for a total Phase 1 Tenant Improvement Allowance equal to Seventeen Million Eighty-Two Thousand and 15/100 Dollars ($17,082,015.00)) to help Tenant pay for Tenant’s Lobby Work, provided that such increase in the Phase 1 Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be deemed part of the Allowances for all purposes permitted under the Tenant Work Letter and may be applied with respect to any of the Tenant Improvements through the Phase 2 Allowance Outside Date.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant shall be performing Tenant’s Lobby Work during the Existing Tenant’s occupancy of the Existing Lease premises and Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to have Tenant’s Lobby Work completed not later than December 31, 2023, and (ii) to not unreasonably interfere with the Existing Tenant’s business in the Existing Tenant’s premises during the performance of Tenant’s Lobby Work.  During Tenant’s performance of Tenant’s Lobby Work, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Tenant’s Lobby Work shall not prevent the Existing Tenant from reasonable access to the Existing Tenant’s premises at all times such access is otherwise permitted.  Tenant shall, upon completion of Tenant’s Lobby Work and thereafter throughout the term of the Existing Term as described in the Lease, be responsible for all HVAC costs for such lobby, provided that the foregoing does not constitute a waiver by Tenant of any recourse against Existing Tenant for any negligent or intentional acts affecting the shared lobby.  Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair of fire life safety, doors and access for the Existing Tenant following completion of Tenant’s Lobby Work. On the Phase 2 Premises Delivery Date, the area comprising the lobby shall be deemed to be part of the Premises. In no event shall Tenant be required to pay Base Rent on the area comprising the lobby in the event that the Existing Tenant extends the term of the Existing Lease, which extension shall only occur as required under the Existing Lease unless Tenant otherwise consents thereto in its sole discretion.
2.2.Tenant’s EV Charging Station Work.  Tenant desires to install electric vehicle charging stations in the Parking Facility serving the Building (collectively, “Proposed Work”).   The plans and specifications (prepared by Gensler and dated June 29, 2022) for such Proposed Work are set forth on Exhibit “F” attached hereto and are hereby approved by Landlord.  All costs for the Proposed Work shall be Tenant’s responsibility.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Parking Facility restriping required by the City of Pasadena and necessitated by the Proposed Work shall be Tenant’s responsibility, at Tenant’s sole cost.  In addition, Tenant shall be responsible for any patching and asphalt reslurry disturbed by any electrical trenching performed by Tenant, including blending the new slurry with the existing asphalt slurry.  Tenant’s Proposed Work shall be performed in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of the Lease including, but not limited to, Article 8 of the Original Lease.  During the Lease Term, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s sole cost and upon at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to Tenant, to relocate the EV charging stations to another location within the Project.  Landlord shall endeavor to complete such work within sixty (60) days after the date of Landlord’s relocation notice (or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible).  The EV charging stations shall be for Tenant’s exclusive use; provided, however, that Tenant (and not Landlord) shall be responsible for limiting access of the EV charging stations to Tenant (and in no event shall Landlord be responsible or liable for any use of such EV charging stations by third parties).
3.Standard Tenant Services.  Section 6.1.1 of the Original Lease is hereby deemed deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

4856-4214-1959.9

391226.00001/8-25-22/MLT/pah

-2-


“6.1.1The heating and air conditioning system (“HVAC”) which serves only the Premises shall be controlled by Tenant and Landlord shall not be responsible for providing HVAC service to the Premises (and Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost, be responsible for all costs regarding the repair and maintenance of the same). Landlord shall be responsible for any capital repair or replacement of the HVAC, which shall be treated as, and subject to the requirements applicable to, Reimbursable Capital Improvements.  Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, all existing and future HVAC equipment that is not set forth in Exhibit “E” attached hereto (collectively, “Landlord’s HVAC Equipment”) shall be Tenant’s sole responsibility and Tenant shall be responsible for the repair, maintenance and replacement of the same at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.”  

4.Overstandard Tenant Use.  Section 6.2 of the Original Lease is hereby deemed deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“6.2Overstandard Tenant Use.  Tenant’s use of electricity shall never exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Project or the risers or wiring installation of the same.”

5.Existing Generator.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that there is an existing generator in the Project which exclusively serves the Premises (“Existing Generator”), the location of which Existing Generator is depicted on Exhibit “B” attached hereto (“Generator Area”).  Upon written notice to Landlord, Tenant may elect to own the Existing Generator.  Following Tenant’s delivery of such notice, effective as of the later of (i) the date of the full execution and delivery of a bill of sale between Landlord and Tenant (in the form of Exhibit “C” attached hereto) and (ii) the Permit Issuance Date (as defined below), Tenant shall own and control such Existing Generator.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord makes no representation or warranty whatsoever with respect to the Existing Generator, including any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. By purchasing the Existing Generator, Tenant acknowledges that it has not relied on any representation or warranty made by Landlord or any other person on Landlord’s behalf except as set forth in the Bill of Sale.  Tenant acknowledges that the Existing Generator is being sold in its then “as is” condition subject to the terms of the Bill of Sale.  Such Existing Generator shall be used by Tenant only during (i) testing and regular maintenance, and (ii) any period of electrical power outage in the Premises.  Tenant shall be entitled to operate the Existing Generator for testing and regular maintenance upon prior written notice to Landlord (subject to the requirements of governmental agencies or instrumentalities with jurisdiction thereover, which requirements shall control).  An express condition to Tenant’s entry into the Generator Area is Tenant being escorted by a representative of Landlord and Landlord shall at all times make a representative available during normal business hours for such purpose except in the case of emergency where Tenant shall not be required to be escorted by a representative of Landlord if such representative is not reasonably available or such emergency occurs outside of normal business hours.  From and after the effect date of its ownership of the Existing Generator as provided in this Second Amendment, Tenant shall ensure that the Existing Generator does not result in any Hazardous Materials being introduced to the Project and Article 5 of the Original Lease will apply to Tenant's use of the Existing Generator, provided that Tenant shall not be liable for any matter regarding the Existing Generator, including violations of law, Hazardous Materials, or the requirements of the Existing Permit and the SCAQMD (as defined below) arising from or accruing to periods prior to Tenant’s ownership of the Existing Generator.  Further, Tenant shall

4856-4214-1959.9

391226.00001/8-25-22/MLT/pah

-3-


be responsible for ensuring that its use and operation of the Existing Generator does not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Building by other tenants.  During the Term of the Lease, any repairs and maintenance of the Existing Generator shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant.  Tenant shall have no obligation to remove such Existing Generator (including any wires or conduits) upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.  The Existing Generator shall be deemed to be a part of the Premises for purposes of Article 10 of the Original Lease.  Attached hereto as Exhibit “D” is the current permit issued by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) allowing the operating of the Existing Generator (the “Existing Permit”).  Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that the Existing Permit is in full force and effect without default of Landlord thereunder.  As soon as practicable after the date hereof, Tenant shall cause the Existing Permit to be reissued in the name of Tenant as the “Legal Owner or Operator” referenced therein.  The date of such reissuance of such permit is referred to herein as the “Permit Issuance Date” and Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with a copy of such reissued permit.  Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment to the contrary, in the event that SCAQMD fails to reissue such permit in the name of Tenant, the Existing Generator shall remain in Landlord’s ownership and control and the Existing Permit shall remain in Landlord’s name.
6.Disbursement of Allowances.  The first sentence after the definition “Draw Request Approval Period” in Section 2.2.2.1 of the Tenant Work Letter is deemed deleted and replaced with the following:  

“Within thirty (30) days after the later of the Submittal Date and Landlord's receipt of such Monthly Draw Request, as to those portions of the applicable Monthly Draw Request which Landlord has approved during the Draw Request Approval Period, Landlord shall pay directly to  Tenant (unless Tenant has notified Landlord that Tenant requires that Landlord deliver a check to Contractor or a check made jointly payable to Contractor and Tenant) in payment of the lesser of (A) the amounts so requested by Tenant, as set forth in this Section 2.2.2.1, above, less a ten percent (10%) retention (the aggregate amount of such retentions to be known as the "Final Retention") and (B) the balance of any remaining available portion of the Allowances (not including the Final Retention), excluding such portions of the Monthly Draw Request for payment for work that Landlord determines and asserts in good faith is materially non-compliant with the Approved Working Drawings (as defined below).”

Section 2.2.2.2 of the Tenant Work Letter is deemed deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Final Retention.  Subject to the provisions of this Tenant Work Letter, a check for the Final Retention payable to Tenant (unless Tenant has notified Landlord that Tenant requires that Landlord deliver a check to Contractor or a check made jointly payable to Contractor and Tenant) shall be delivered by Landlord to Tenant and/or Contractor (as applicable) following the completion of construction of the applicable portion of the Premises, provided that Tenant has delivered to Landlord:  (A) properly executed and final unconditional mechanics lien releases in compliance with applicable California law; (B) a certificate of occupancy or permit cards signed off by the City of Pasadena (the "City") with respect to the Premises; (C) as-built plans and City-permitted plans for the Tenant Improvements; (D) operation manuals and warranties for equipment included within the

Tenant Improvements and paid for with Allowance funds, if applicable; (E) copy of the contract with the Contractor; (F) copy of the Contractor's certificate of insurance, including Additional Insured endorsement naming Landlord (and any other party reasonably requested by Landlord) as additional insureds; and (G) the Contractor's schedule of values, showing total contract value.”

7.Tenant’s Exercise of Additional Phase 1 Allowance.  Tenant hereby exercises Tenant’s right to receive the Additional Phase 1 Allowance pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Tenant Work Letter for an additional Sixty Dollars ($60.00) per rentable square foot of the Phase 1 Premises. The Additional Phase 1 Allowance is $4,984,980.00 (for a total Phase 1 Tenant Improvement Allowance equal to Twenty-Two Million Sixty-Six Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-Five Dollars ($22,066,995.00)).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, the increase in Base Rent for the Phase 1 Premises attributable to the Additional Phase 1 Allowance shall not be included as part of Base Rent for the Phase I Premises for purposes of the determination of Base Rent for the Phase 2 Premises under Section 8.2 of the Lease.
8.Restatement of Base Rent for Phase 1 Premises.  In accordance with Section 2.1 of the Tenant Work Letter (and Tenant’s exercise of Tenant’s right to receive Additional Phase 1 Allowance), Section 8.1 of the Original Lease is hereby deemed deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

12.Signatures.  The parties hereto consent and agree that this Second Amendment may be signed and/or transmitted by facsimile, e-mail of a .pdf document or using electronic signature technology (e.g., via DocuSign or similar electronic signature technology), and that such signed electronic record shall be valid and as effective to bind the party so signing as a paper copy bearing such party’s handwritten signature.  The parties further consent and agree that (1) to the extent a party signs this Second Amendment using electronic signature technology, by clicking “SIGN”, such party is signing this Second Amendment electronically, and (2) the electronic signatures appearing on this Second Amendment shall be treated, for purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility, the same as handwritten signatures.
13.Defaults.  Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that, as of the date of this Second Amendment, Tenant is in full compliance with all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease and that there are no breaches or defaults under the Lease by Landlord or Tenant, and that Tenant knows of no events or circumstances which, given the passage of time, would constitute a default under the Lease by either Landlord or Tenant.  Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the date of this Second Amendment, Landlord is in full compliance with all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease and that there are no breaches or defaults under the Lease by Landlord or Tenant, and that Landlord knows of no events or circumstances which, given the passage of time, would constitute a default under the Lease by either Landlord or Tenant.
