This FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE (“First Amendment”) is made and entered into as of May 21, 2019, by and between HCP TPSP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and INHIBRX, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).
R E C I T A L S :
A. Landlord and Tenant (as successor-in-interest to InhibRx, LP, a Delaware limited partnership) are parties to that certain Lease dated September 8, 2017 (the “Lease”), whereby Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, approximately 34,211 rentable square feet of space (the “Existing Premises”) consisting of the entire second (2nd) floor of that certain building located at 00000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx (the “Building”).
B. Tenant desires to expand the Existing Premises to include that certain space consisting of approximately 8,412 rentable square feet of space commonly known as Suite 140 and located on the first (1st) floor of the Building (the “Expansion Premises”), as delineated on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, and to make other modifications to the Lease, and in connection therewith, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease as hereinafter provided.
A G R E E M E N T :
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:
1. Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms when used herein shall have the same meaning as is given such terms in the Lease unless expressly superseded by the terms of this First Amendment.
2. Modification of Premises. Effective as of the date (the “Expansion Commencement Date”) which is the earlier to occur of (i) the date upon which Tenant first commences to conduct business in the Expansion Premises, and (ii) the date upon which the Expansion Premises are “Ready for Occupancy,” as that term is defined in Section 5.1 of the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Tenant Work Letter”), which Expansion Commencement Date is anticipated to be January 1, 2020, Tenant shall lease from Landlord and Landlord shall lease to Tenant the Expansion Premises. Consequently, effective upon the Expansion Commencement Date, the Existing Premises shall be increased to include the Expansion Premises. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that such addition of the Expansion Premises to the Existing Premises shall, effective as of the Expansion Commencement Date, increase the size of the Premises to approximately 42,623 rentable square feet. The Existing Premises and the Expansion Premises may hereinafter collectively be referred to as the “Premises.”
3. Expansion Term. The term of Tenant’s lease of the Expansion Premises (the “Expansion Term”) shall commence on the Expansion Commencement Date and shall expire coterminously with Tenant’s Lease of the Existing Premises on the Lease Expiration Date (i.e., June 30, 2025), unless sooner terminated as provided in the Lease, as hereby amended.
4. Base Rent.
4.1. Existing Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, as hereby amended, Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent for the Existing Premises in accordance with the terms of the Lease.

| ** | The calculation of the Monthly Base Rent per Rentable Square Foot reflects an annual increase of 2%, rounded to the nearest cent, after the previous Expansion Lease Year. |
Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this First Amendment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses payable for the Expansion Premises for the first full month of the Expansion Term (i.e., Forty-Four Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy-Three and 00/100 Dollars ($44,873.00)).

In addition, Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant is currently in possession of the Existing Premises, and that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Existing Premises, or with respect to the suitability of the foregoing for the conduct of Tenant’s business. Accordingly, Tenant shall continue to accept the Existing Premises in its “as is” condition as of the date of this First Amendment.
7. Option to Extend Lease Term. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that Tenant’s right to extend the Lease Term pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Lease shall be applicable to the entire Premises (i.e., the Existing Premises and the Expansion Premises); provided, however, notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to extend the Lease Term pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Lease with respect to the Existing Premises only or with respect to the entire Premises (i.e., the Existing Premises and the Expansion Premises), and in no event shall Tenant have the right to extend the Lease Term for the Expansion Premises only.
8. Tenant’s Access.

Direct Expenses to the extent allowed by the terms of Article 4 of the Lease), shall have the right to use up to twenty-five (25) unreserved parking passes (i.e., three (3) unreserved parking passes per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Expansion Premises) in connection with Tenant’s lease of the Expansion Premises, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
10. Security Deposit. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, the Security Deposit held by Landlord pursuant to the Lease, as amended hereby, shall equal Two Hundred Forty-Four Thousand Five Hundred Fifty-Three and 10/100 Dollars ($244,553.10). Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that, in accordance with Article 21 of the Lease, Tenant has previously delivered the sum of One Hundred Ninety-Four Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Eight and 10/100 Dollars ($194,668.10) (the “Existing Security Deposit”) to Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease. Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this First Amendment, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an amount equal to Forty-Nine Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty-Five and 00/100 Dollars ($49,885.00) to be held by Landlord as a part of the Security Deposit. To the extent that the total amount held by Landlord at any time as security for the Lease, as hereby amended, is less than Two Hundred Forty-Four Thousand Five Hundred Fifty-Three and 10/100 Dollars ($244,553.10), Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within ten (10) days following Tenant’s receipt of notice thereof from Landlord.
11. Statutory Disclosure and Related Terms. For purposes of Section 1938(a) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). As required by Section 1938(e) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby states as follows: “A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject Expansion Premises and determine whether the subject Expansion 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 Expansion Premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject Expansion 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 Expansion Premises.” In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows: (a) any CASp inspection requested by Tenant shall be conducted, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, by a CASp approved in advance by Landlord, while any CASp inspection initiated by Landlord shall be conducted, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, by a CASp designated by Landlord; (b) with respect to improvements or repairs required to correct violations discovered during a CASp inspection initiated by Tenant, pursuant to Article 24 of the Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for making any improvements or repairs within the Premises to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards; and (c) if anything done by or for Tenant in its use or occupancy of the Xxxxxx.xx shall require any improvements or repairs to the Building or Project (outside the Premises) to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards, then Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, either perform such repairs at Tenant’s sole cost and expense or reimburse Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent, for the cost to Landlord of performing such repairs, provided that Landlord shall be solely responsible for the costs of performing such improvements or repairs to correct such violations of construction-related
-4-
accessibility standards if such violations were discovered during a CASp inspection initiated by Landlord. The terms of this Section 11 do not amend or reduce the obligations of Landlord and Tenant set forth in Article 24 of the Lease regarding compliance with Applicable Laws, but apply solely to the obligations of Landlord and Tenant in connection with Tenant’s election to conduct a CASp inspection hereunder.
12. Broker. Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this First Amendment other than CBRE, Inc. (the “Broker”), and that they know of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this First Amendment. Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the indemnifying party’s dealings with any real estate broker or agent, other than the Broker, occurring by, through, or under the indemnifying party. The terms of this Section 12 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Lease, as hereby amended.
13. No Further Modification. Except as set forth in this First Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease shall apply with respect to the Expansion Premises and shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

TENANT WORK LETTER
This Tenant Work Letter shall set forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of the tenant improvements in the Expansion Premises. This Tenant Work Letter is essentially organized chronologically and addresses the issues of the construction of the Expansion Premises, in sequence, as such issues will arise during the actual construction of the Expansion Premises. All references in this Tenant Work Letter to Sections of “this Tenant Work Letter” shall mean the relevant portion of Sections 1 through 6 of this Tenant Work Letter.
SECTION 1
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
Landlord and Tenant have approved that certain space plan which is attached hereto as Schedule 1 (the “Space Plan”). Within five (5) days of the date on which Tenant executes this First Amendment, Tenant shall cooperate in good faith with Landlord’s architects and engineers to supply such information necessary to allow the Landlord’s architects and engineers to complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Expansion Premises, and the final architectural working drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits and in a manner consistent with, and which are a natural and logical extension of, the Space Plan (collectively, the “Approved Working Drawings”). Landlord shall construct the improvements in the Expansion Premises (the “Tenant Improvements”) in good workmanlike condition pursuant to the Approved Working Drawings. Tenant shall make no changes or modifications to (a) the Space Plan, or (b) once completed, the Approved Working Drawings, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion if such change or modification is reasonably likely to directly or indirectly materially delay the “Substantial Completion,” as that term is defined in Section 5.1 of this Tenant Work Letter, of the Tenant Improvements or increase the cost of designing or constructing the Tenant Improvements. The Tenant Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with Landlord’s Building standards, using Building standard methods, materials and finishes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as specifically set forth in Section 2, below, the Tenant Improvements shall not include built-in furniture, equipment, cubicle systems (including the cabling and phone wiring), personal property and/or any above-standard electrical, mechanical or plumbing systems.
SECTION 2
CHANGE ORDERS
In the event that after Tenant’s execution of this First Amendment, any revisions, changes, or substitutions shall be made to (i) the Space Plan, (ii) the Approved Working Drawings (once the same are completed), or (iii) the Tenant Improvements (collectively, “Change Orders”), then any additional costs which arise in connection with Change Orders shall be paid by Tenant to
EXHIBIT B
-1-
Landlord within five (5) business days following Landlord’s written request therefor, which request shall be accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation regarding the calculation of such additional costs; provided that Landlord may initially reasonably estimate the additional costs which arise in connection with Change Orders and Tenant shall pay to Landlord such estimated amount and, following completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord and Tenant shall reconcile the amount paid by Tenant with the amount that should have been paid by Tenant based on the actual costs incurred by Landlord.
SECTION 3
CONTRACTOR’S WARRANTIES AND GUARANTIES
Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all warranties and guaranties by the contractor who constructs the Tenant Improvements (the “Contractor”) relating to the Tenant Improvements, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord relating to, or arising out of the construction of, the Tenant Improvements.

5.2.5 Changes to the base, shell and core work of the Building required by the Approved Working Drawings; or

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Lease, as hereby amended, if an event of default as described in the Lease, as hereby amended, or a default by Tenant under this Tenant Work Letter, has occurred at any time on or before the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, then (i) in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Landlord pursuant to the Lease, as hereby amended, Landlord shall have the right to cause Contractor to cease the construction of the Tenant Improvements (in which case, Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements caused by such work stoppage as set forth in Section 5 of this Tenant Work Letter), and (ii) all other obligations of Landlord under the terms of this Tenant Work Letter shall be forgiven until such time as such default is cured pursuant to the terms of the Lease, as hereby amended.
