IX.

PARKING

Effective upon the Second Amendment Effective Date, Tenant’s existing rights to utilize fifty (50) parking spaces shall be increased by an additional thirty-five (35) spaces (with five (5) of such spaces to be so-called “premium” spaces located in the EmeryStation l Building) to become a new total of eighty-five (85) spaces.

Tenant shall continue to pay Landlord’s quoted rates for parking and shall be subject to all rules and regulations relating thereto.

X.	EXPANSION

Suite 350: Tenant is granted a one-time right to expand its Premises by addition thereto of the existing 4,515 rentable square foot office Suite 350 (“Suite 350”, as more clearly delineated on Exhibit D hereto). As part of this right, Tenant shall have the right to expand Suite 350 by the addition thereto of the small common

B-5

seating area (the “Seating Area”), as such is more clearly delineated on Exhibit D. In the event Tenant elects to include the Seating Area into Suite 350, the rentable square footage of the enlarged Suite 350 shall be 4,684. Tenant’s option to lease Suite 350 (including possibly the Seating Area) is referred to herein as the “Suite 350 Expansion Option”.

Tenant may invoke the Suite 350 Expansion Option (including the decision whether or not to include therein the Seating Area) by written notice to Landlord made on or before June 30, 2016. In the event Tenant so notifies Landlord of Tenant’s election of the Suite 350 Expansion Option, Landlord shall deliver possession of Suite 350 (and also of the Seating Area, if applicable) to Tenant, in their then respective as-is conditions, within thirty (30) days of Landlord recapturing possession of Suite 350 from the prior third-party tenant.

To reflect the addition to Tenant’s Premises of Suite 350, the Monthly Base Rent Tenant is otherwise obligated to pay for the Premises pursuant to the terms of the Lease shall be increased by monthly base rent applicable to Suite 350 (the “Suite 350 Monthly Base Rent”). The Suite 350 Monthly Base Rent shall be equal to the Suite 350 rentable square footage (which may include the rentable square footage of the Seating Area, as discussed above), multiplied by the Suite 350 Monthly Base Rental Rate applicable from time to time, as outlined below:


PERIOD		SUITE 350 MONTHLY BASE RENTAL RATE

Present—12/31/16		$3.33 per rentable square foot per month

Commencing January 1, 2017 and annually thereafter, the Suite 350 Monthly Base Rental Rate shall be increased by three percent (3%). Notwithstanding any of the above, Suite 350 shall be free of Monthly Base Rental for the first sixty (60) days following the Suite 350 Commencement Date.

The Suite 350 Monthly Base Rental Rate applicable to the period up to and including December 31, 2016 above is intended to represent a “fully-serviced” rate, meaning that as it relates solely to Suite 350, Tenant’s Rent Adjustments and Rent Adjustment Deposits (which are the vehicle for Tenant paying Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses and of Taxes relating to Suite 350) will be calculated using a Base Year of calendar 2016.

In the event Tenant adds Suite 350 to its Premises pursuant to the terms above, Landlord agrees to make a Tenant Improvement Allowance equal to $20.00 per rentable square foot times the rentable square footage of Suite 350 available to Tenant, which Tenant may apply to the costs of Tenant Improvements Tenant

B-6

makes to Suite 350 (the “Suite 350 Tenant Improvement Allowance”), such Suite 350 Tenant Improvement Allowance to be provided per the terms of the Workletter.

In the event Tenant adds Suite 350 to its Premises pursuant to the above, Tenant’s parking shall be increased by thirteen (13) spaces, for which Tenant shall pay Landlord’s quoted rates. In the event Tenant terminates its lease of Suite 350 pursuant to the terms of Section X(b) hereof, Tenant’s parking would then be decreased by said thirteen spaces.

EmeryStation West: Landlord’s affiliate EmeryStation West, LLC (“ESW”) controls a site northwest of the Building, upon which site ESW is contemplating the development of a new commercial building referred to as “EmeryStation West”. Landlord hereby agrees to arrange for Tenant to have a one-time right of negotiation (“XXX”) with ESW regarding the possibility of Tenant leasing space in EmeryStation West. The business terms of Tenant’s XXX will be as follows:

* The Term of the XXX will commence upon the Second Amendment Effective Date and shall end, being of no further force and effect, upon the earlier to occur of: a) the expiry or earlier termination of this Lease, b) the end of the XXX period, as defined below, and c) the date ESW conveys or transfers the EmeryStation West property to any entity that is not an Affiliate (as defined in the Lease).

* Tenant’s XXX shall be subject and subordinate to any existing or future loan(s) seemed by a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the EmeryStation West property, and shall automatically terminate without notice upon the earlier of: a) a conveyance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or b) upon a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure of the property. Tenant covenants and agrees to promptly execute any subordination agreement required by an existing or prospective lender confirming that this XXX is subject and subordinate to a loan.

* The XXX shall be null and void at any time Tenant is in Default under the Lease and does not timely cure the same.

* Tenant acknowledges and agrees to all of the following: a) ESW has no obligation to construct EmeryStation West or any other improvements on the property, b) the decision to build any improvements on the subject site, and the decision as to design, size, type and mix of improvements to be built and uses to be housed therein, if any (i.e. commercial, office, lab, research and development, residential, retail, or a mix of different uses), and the decision as to the timing of the building of such improvements, if any, shall be determined by ESW in its sole and absolute discretion.

* Tenant’s XXX shall only be valid in the event ESW is willing, in its sole and absolute discretion, to lease for General Office Use purposes as little as 60,000 rentable square feet of space on the uppermost occupiable floors of EmeryStation West. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that ESW may elect not to lease space for General Office Use and/or may elect to seek other third-party tenants to take greater amounts of space than 60,000 rentable square feet.

1.6 “Tenant Improvement Allowance” means the amounts to be paid by Landlord set forth in Section IV(a) of the Second Amendment on account of all construction costs, space planning and design fees, architecture and engineering fees, permit fees and construction management fees incurred by Tenant in designing and constructing the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall not be entitled to any cash payment, credit, offset or other benefit based on any excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance over the actual costs of the construction and installation of the Tenant Improvements.

2. Development of Plans

2.1 Approval of Architect and Contractor. Tenant’s architect, contractor, major suppliers and major subcontractors shall each be subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord. Landlord may request information about these entities, including financial statements and a summary of representative projects. If Landlord does not approve the architect, contractor, any major subcontractor or major supplier, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to select another architect, contractor, subcontractor or materials supplier mutually acceptable to the parties. Landlord shall be entitled to withhold its approval of any entity or person, who, in Landlord’s determination, is financially or otherwise professionally unqualified to design or construct the Tenant Improvements. In addition, in the event Landlord determines that a performance bond and labor and materials payment bond is necessary to ensure lien-free completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord may condition its approval of a contractor upon Tenant’s obtaining such bonds, each in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100 %) of the estimated cost of the Tenant Improvements and in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s approval of any architect, contractor, subcontractor or materials supplier shall not constitute Landlord’s representation or warranty that any such architect, contractor, subcontractor or supplier is in fact qualified to perform the Tenant Improvements.

2.2 Design Documents. Prior to Tenant’s commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall prepare the Design Documents and deliver them to Landlord. Within ten (10) business days following delivery of the Design Documents, Landlord shall approve the Design Documents or deliver to Tenant written notice of their disapproval which shall specify the changes that must be made to the Design Documents as a condition of Landlord’s approval. Within ten (10) business days following receipt of Landlord’s notice of disapproval, Tenant shall deliver a revised set of Design Documents to Landlord which shall incorporate the changes specified in Landlord’s notice of disapproval.

2.3 Construction Drawings. As soon as the Design Documents are approved by Landlord, Tenant shall prepare the Construction Drawings that are consistent with and logical evolutions of the Design Documents and the Schedule of Values. The Construction Drawings and Schedule of Values shall be delivered to Landlord for approval. If Landlord does not approve the Construction Drawings and/or the Schedule of Values, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, as soon as reasonably possible but within ten (10) business days following receipt

B-13

thereof, written notice of such disapproval. The notice shall specify the changes that must be made to the Construction Drawings and/or the Schedule of Values as a condition for obtaining Landlord’s approval. Within ten (10) business days following receipt of Landlord’s notice of disapproval, Tenant shall deliver a revised set of Construction Drawings and/or Schedule of Values to Landlord, which incorporate the changes specified in Landlord’s notice of disapproval. Landlord and Tenant shall each sign a copy of the approved Construction Drawings and Schedule of Values.

2.4 Landlord’s Approval. If the Construction Drawings conform to the Design Documents and this Workletter, Landlord’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Construction Drawings show work requiring a modification or change to the shell of the Building, Landlord shall not be deemed unreasonable if Landlord disapproves such Construction Drawings or if Landlord conditions its consent to such Construction Drawings upon Tenant’s paying to Landlord, prior to the commencement of construction, the full cost of modifying or changing the shell of the Building. Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, have the Design Documents or the Construction Drawings reviewed by Landlord’s architect, engineer and/or construction manager; provided, however, that any such review shall be performed within the time periods set forth above for Landlord’s review of the Design Documents and the Construction Drawings. Tenant shall reimburse the cost of any such review to Landlord within ten (10) days following demand therefor by Landlord. In no event shall the approval by Landlord (or Landlord’s architect, engineer or construction manager) of the Design Documents or the Construction Drawings constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord (or Landlord’s architect, engineer or construction manager) of: (i) their accuracy, sufficiency or completeness for their intended purpose; (ii) the absence of design defects or construction flaws; or (iii) their compliance with applicable laws. Tenant agrees that Landlord (and Landlord’s architect, engineer and construction manager) shall incur no liability by reason of its approval or disapproval of any item.

2.5 Compliance with Laws. Tenant covenants, agrees, represents and warrants that the Design Documents and Construction Drawings (i) shall be in a form satisfactory for filing with appropriate governmental authorities and (ii) shall conform to all applicable codes, rules, regulations and ordinances of all governing authorities, including all building codes and the ADA.

2.6 Changes. No changes shall be made to the Design Documents or the Construction Drawings without the prior written consent of Landlord. All change orders requested by Tenant shall be made in writing and shall specify any added or reduced cost resulting therefrom. Any change proposed by Tenant shall be approved or disapproved by Landlord within five (5) business days following Landlord’s receipt of detailed information pertaining to the proposed change. Landlord’s failure to approve any proposed change within five (5) business days shall be deemed Landlord’s disapproval thereof.

3. Construction of Tenant Improvements

3.1 Permits and Approvals. Tenant shall submit the Construction Drawings to all appropriate governmental agencies for approval and shall not commence construction or installation of the Tenant Improvements unless and until Tenant has obtained all necessary permits and approvals and has delivered copies of these documents to Landlord.

B-14

3.2 Construction Documents. Prior to the commencement of construction and installation of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s approval, the Construction Documents. Within five (5) business days following the delivery of all of the Construction Documents, Landlord shall approve such information or deliver to Tenant written notice of disapproval of all or any information contained therein.

Within five (5) business days following receipt of Landlord’s notice of disapproval, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord revised copies of the proposed architect’s and/or contractor’s agreements and/or subcontractor’s agreements which incorporate the specified changes. Following approval of the Construction Documents by Landlord, Tenant shall not materially amend, materially modify or terminate any of the Construction Documents without Landlord’s prior written approval.

3.3 Commencement and Completion of Construction. Following Tenant’s satisfaction of all of the requirements of Section 2 above and this Section 3, Tenant shall commence construction and installation of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Construction Drawings and shall pursue the same diligently to completion. Tenant covenants to give Landlord at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its commencement of construction or delivery of materials to the Premises to enable Landlord to post a notice of nonresponsibility respecting the Tenant Improvements.

3.4 Building Systems. In no event shall Tenant interfere with the provision of heating, plumbing, electrical or mechanical system services to the Building, make any structural changes to the Building, make any changes to the heating, plumbing, electrical or mechanical systems of the Building, or make any changes to the Premises which would weaken or impair the structural integrity of the Building, alter the aesthetic appearance of the Building exterior, or which would affect any warranties applicable to the Building or any improvements constructed or installed by Landlord therein, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. If Tenant performs works that pertains to the structure of the building or the building’s systems, Landlord may require Tenant to engage Landlord’s structural engineer to design, supervise and monitor any construction work affecting either the Building systems or the structure of the Building.

3.5 Inspections. Landlord and its officers, agents or employees shall have the right at all reasonable times to enter upon the Premises and inspect the Tenant Improvements and to determine that the same are in conformity with the Construction Drawings and all of the requirements of this Workletter. Tenant acknowledges, however, that Landlord is under no obligation to supervise, inspect or inform Tenant of the progress of construction and Tenant agrees that it shall not rely upon Landlord to perform any of these activities. Neither the inspection rights granted to Landlord in this Workletter, nor the making of such inspections by Landlord, shall operate as a waiver of any rights of Landlord to require that the construction and installation of the Tenant Improvements conform with this Workletter, the Construction Drawings and all requirements of applicable law.

B-15

Within two (2) business days following the completion of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall notify Landlord and shall provide Landlord an opportunity to inspect the Tenant Improvements. Within ten (10) business days following Tenant’s notice, Landlord (or its representative) shall walk-through and inspect Tenant’s work on the Tenant Improvements and shall either approve Tenant’s work or advise Tenant in writing of any defects or uncompleted items. Tenant shall promptly repair such defects or uncompleted items to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction. Landlord’s approval of the Tenant Improvements, or Landlord’s failure to advise Tenant of any defects or uncompleted items in the Tenant Improvements, shall not relieve Tenant of responsibility for constructing and installing the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Construction Drawings, this Workletter and all applicable laws.

3.7 Final Documents. Following completion of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall (a) obtain and deliver to Landlord a copy of the certificate of occupancy for the Tenant Improvements from the governmental agency having jurisdiction thereof; (b) promptly cause a notice of completion to be validly recorded for the Tenant Improvements; (c) furnish Landlord with unconditional waivers of lien in statutory form from all parties performing labor and/or supplying equipment and/or materials in connection with the Tenant Improvements, including Tenant’s architect(s); (d) deliver to Landlord a certificate of Tenant’s architect(s) certifying completion of the Tenant Improvements in substantial accordance with the Construction Drawings; (e) deliver to Landlord a certificate of Tenant’s contractor(s) certifying completion of the Tenant Improvements in substantial accordance with the Construction Drawings; (f) deliver to Landlord a full set of reproducible as-built drawings (signed and dated by the contractor and each responsible subcontractor) for the Tenant Improvements; and (g) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of all written construction and equipment warranties and manuals related to the Tenant Improvements.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE

by and between

XXXXX STATION JOINT VENTURE, LLC (LANDLORD),

and

BERKELEY LIGHTS, INC. (TENANT)

EmeryStation 1 Building

0000 Xxxxxx Xx.

Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx

That certain lease dated November 3, 2015 by and between Berkeley Lights, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as Tenant, and Xxxxx Station Joint Venture, LLC, a California limited liability company, as Landlord, as such was modified by that First Amendment to Lease dated June 9, 2015 (the “First Amendment”) and by that Second Amendment to Lease dated September 25, 2015 (the “Second Amendment”), collectively constitute the “Lease”. The Lease is hereby further amended by the terms of this Third Amendment to Lease (the “Third Amendment”), which shall have an effective date of January 11, 2016 (the “Third Amendment Effective Date”). Effective upon the Third Amendment Effective Date, the existing Lease and this Third Amendment thereto shall thereafter collectively constitute and be referred to as the Lease for all purposes thereunder.

Pursuant to Section X of the Second Amendment, Tenant was granted an Expansion Option relating to Suite 350 and to the Seating Area (the “Suite 350 Expansion Option”). Via written notice to Landlord, Tenant has formally invoked its Suite 350 Expansion Option such that both Suite 350 and the Seating Area (as they are more specifically delineated in Exhibit A hereto) shall be added to Tenant’s Premises. Tenant subsequently has requested that the Seating Area be added to Tenant’s Premises concurrent with the addition of the Lab Expansion Space described in the Second Amendment. Landlord and Tenant are therefore entering into this Third Amendment, whose specific terms and conditions are contained herein. All terms referred to in this Third Amendment shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Lease:

POSSESSION:

Landlord shall deliver possession of the Seating Area to Tenant, in its as-is condition, on or before January 1, 2016. Landlord shall deliver possession of Suite 350 to Tenant, in its as-is condition, no more than thirty (30) days following Landlord’s recapturing possession of Suite 350 from the prior third-party tenant thereof. Tenant understands and acknowledges that the Seating Area is not demised from the Building Common Areas and that such demising shall be a responsibility of Tenant as part of the Tenant’s Improvements Tenant is making to the Lab Expansion Space. The date of Landlord’s delivery of possession of Suite 350 to Tenant shall be referred to as the “Suite 350 Commencement Date”.

II.

RENTABLE AREA:

Effective January 1, 2016, the Seating Area shall be added to and become part of Tenant’s Premises. The Seating Area is agreed to measure 169 rentable square feet (the “Seating Area Rentable Area”). Effective upon the Xxxxx 000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000 shall added to and become a part of Tenant’s Premises. Suite 350 is agreed to measure 4,515 rentable square feet. As a result,

B-1

Tenant’s Premises shall be increased by 4,515 rentable square feet (the “Suite 350 Rentable Area”).

III.

MONTHLY BASE RENT:

Effective January 1, 2016, the Monthly Base Rent otherwise specified in and called for by the Lease shall be increased by the “Seating Area Monthly Base Rent”, which is defined to be the product of the Seating Area Rentable Area times the “Suite 350 Monthly Rental Rate” applicable from time to time, as such is defined herein. Effective upon the Suite 350 Commencement Date, the Monthly Base Rent otherwise called for shall be further increased by the “Suite 350 Monthly Base Rent”, which is defined to be the product of Xxxxx 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx times the “Suite 350 Monthly Rent Rate” applicable from time to time, as such is defined herein.

The “Suite 350 Monthly Rent Rate” shall be equal to $3.33 per rentable square foot per month during calendar year 2016. On January 1, 2017 and annually thereafter, the Suite 350 Monthly Rental Rate shall increase by three percent (3%). Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, the Seating Area Monthly Base Rent shall be zero dollars ($0.00) during the months of January and February 2016, and the Suite 350 Monthly Base Rent shall be zero dollars ($0.00) during the first sixty (60) days following the Suite 350 Delivery Date.

IV.

EXPENSES:

Operating Expenses and Taxes applicable to the Premises other than the Seating Area Rentable Area portion thereof and to the Suite 350 Rentable Area portion thereof shall continue to be determined pursuant to the terms of the Existing Lease. It is Landlord and Tenant’s intent that the Monthly Base Rent for both the Seating Area Rentable Area and to the Xxxxx 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx represents a “fully-serviced” rent subject to a 2016 Base Year. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that this means that Tenant shall pay its pro-rata share (based on the Seating Area Rentable Area and to the Xxxxx 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx) of Operating Expenses and Taxes in the form of additional Rent Adjustments and additional Rent Adjustment Deposits, which shall be calculated as set forth in Article 4 of the ESE Lease, as such was modified by Section 2A of the Lease, such that Tenant shall pay for all utilities related to Suite 350 and to the Seating Area as well as increases in Operating Expenses and Taxes applicable to Suite 350 and to the Seating Area above a 2016 Base Year.

III.

USE

Tenant’s use of Suite 350 and of the Seating Area shall be for General Office purposes.

IV.

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

Tenant shall make improvements to Suite 350 and to the Seating Area pursuant to the terms of the Workletter attached to the Lease. Landlord shall make a $93,680.00 Tenant Improvement Allowance available to Tenant that Tenant may use to apply to the cost of Tenant’s improvements to Suite 350, as more fully detailed in the Workletter.

B-2

PARKING

Effective upon the Suite 350 Delivery Date, Tenant’s existing rights to utilize eighty-five (85) parking spaces pursuant to the Second Amendment shall be increased by an additional thirteen (13) spaces to become a new total of ninety-eight (98) spaces. As stated in the Second Amendment and re-confirmed here: (i) upon the December 31, 2016 maturity of the Lease as it applies to the Suite 263 Temporary Space or upon Tenant’s earlier termination thereof pursuant to its right outlined in Section V(a) of the Second Amendment, Tenant’s parking shall be reduced by a total of eight (8) spaces to reflect the removal of the Suite 263 Temporary Space from Tenant’s total Premises, and (ii) in the event Tenant terminates its lease of Suite 350 pursuant to the terms of Section X(b) of the Second Amendment, Tenant’s parking would then be decreased by said thirteen (13) spaces. Tenant shall continue to pay Landlord’s quoted rates for all parking and shall be subject to all rules and regulations relating thereto.

VI.

BROKERAGE

Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that it has been represented in this transaction by CRESA, to whom Landlord has already or will pay a brokerage commission pursuant to a separate agreement, and that no brokerage commission or other such fee shall be due and payable by Landlord to any other representative of Tenant as a result hereof.

VII.

Effective upon the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the existing Lease and this Fourth Amendment thereto shall thereafter collectively constitute and be referred to as the Lease for all purposes thereunder.

Pursuant to the First Amendment, Landlord made available to Tenant space on the Building’s 2^nd floor for purposes of Tenant playing ping-pong. Landlord made the Ping Pong Space available to Tenant at no additional rent but subject to Landlord’s right to terminate Tenant’s right to use said space with two (2) weeks’ notice. Landlord subsequently notified Tenant of Landlord’s decision to invoke this termination option, and Tenant must vacate the existing Ping Pong Space on or before January 22, 2016.

Tenant has advised Landlord that it wishes to continue to have temporary space in which to play ping pong, as well as to use for TRX and also for minor storage purposes. Landlord hereby agrees to add the 1,198 rentable square foot Suite 190 (“Suite 190”, as such is defined on Exhibit A attached hereto) to Tenant’s Premises effective upon the Effective Date of this Fourth Amendment and ending upon December 31, 2016 (the “Suite 190 Lease Term”) for Tenant to utilize for such purposes.

During the Suite 190 Lease Term, Tenant will agree to pay Landlord $500.00 monthly in consideration for Landlord’s utility and repair and maintenance costs associated with Suite 190. Tenant agrees to accept Suite 190 in its existing as-is condition, and to return possession of Suite 190 to Landlord on or before the end of the Suite 190 Lease Term. Tenant’s failure to do so will constitute a default under the Lease.

Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that it has represented itself in this transaction,, and that no brokerage commission or other such fee shall be due and payable by Landlord to any representative of Tenant as a result hereof.

Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx

That certain lease dated November 3, 2014 by and between Berkeley Lights, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as Tenant, and Xxxxx Station Joint Venture, LLC, a California limited liability company, as Landlord, as such was modified by that First Amendment to Lease dated June 9, 2015 (the “First Amendment”) and by that Second Amendment to Lease dated September 25, 2015 (the “Second Amendment”), by the terms of that Third Amendment to Lease dated January 11, 2016 (the “Third Amendment”), and by the terms of the Fourth Amendment to Lease dated January 18, 2016 (the “Fourth Amendment”), collectively constitute the “Lease”. The Lease is hereby further amended by the terms of this Fifth Amendment to Lease (the “Fifth Amendment”), which shall have an effective date of April 7, 2016 (the “Fifth Amendment Effective Date”). Effective upon the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, the existing Lease and this Fifth Amendment thereto shall thereafter collectively constitute and be referred to as the Lease for all purposes thereunder.

Tenant has requested, and Landlord has agreed, to allow Tenant to expand its Premises by addition thereto of additional space on the 5^th floor of the Building. Landlord and Tenant are therefore entering into this Fifth Amendment, whose specific terms and conditions are contained herein. All terms referred to in this Fifth Amendment shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Lease:

FIFTH FLOOR EXPANSION SPACE AND POSSESSION:

The area on the 5^th floor of the Building, commonly referred to as Suite 550/555 and more specifically outlined in Exhibit A hereof, shall constitute and be referred to as the “Fifth Floor Expansion Space”. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the Fifth Floor Expansion Space measures 3,725 rentable square feet. Tenant shall accept possession of the Fifth Floor Expansion Space from Landlord in its as-is condition, subject only to Landlord’s obligation, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, to remove therefrom all existing FF&E such as the unconnected fume hoods, office cubicles, etc., such work defined to be the “Fifth Floor Expansion Space Landlord Work”. The date of Landlord’s delivery of possession of the Fifth Floor Expansion to Tenant with the Fifth Floor Expansion Space Landlord Work Substantially Complete shall be referred to as the “Fifth Floor Expansion Space Commencement Date”. Tenant shall be allowed access to the Fifth Floor Expansion Space, and may move equipment, desks and materials into the Fifth Floor Expansion Space, and do such IT work and/or work related to the connection of CDA and vacuum lines, prior to Landlord’s completion of the Fifth Floor Expansion Landlord Work. From and after the Fifth Floor Expansion Space

B-1

Commencement Date, the Fifth Floor Expansion Space shall be considered part of Tenant’s Premises and subject to all the terms and conditions relating thereto under the Lease, including Tenant’s obligation to pay the appropriate Tenant Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes as they relate to the Fifth Floor Expansion Space, as more fully detailed below.

In the event that an existing suite of lab and office space which is both immediately adjacent (including across the hall) to Tenant’s existing Premises on the 3^rd floor and is roughly equivalent in rentable area to the Fifth Floor Expansion becomes available within three (3) years following the Fifth Floor Commencement Date, Landlord agrees to discuss with Tenant possible opportunities for Tenant to exchange the Fifth Floor Expansion Space for such newly-available space, it being understood that the determination to accomplish such a swap of spaces would be up to both Landlord and Tenant in each’s sole and absolute discretion.

II.

LEASE TERM AS IT RELATES TO THE FIFTH FLOOR EXPANSION SPACE:

The Lease Term as it applies to the Fifth Floor Expansion Space shall commence upon the Fifth Floor Expansion Space Commencement Date and shall expire December 31, 2023, as does the Exiting Premises and Lab Expansion Space, as each is defined in the Second Amendment.

In the event Tenant enters into a new lease of not less than ten (10) years in length for at least 60,000 additional rentable square feet either in: a) the contemplated EmeryStation West Building which may be developed by Landlord’s Affiliate, or b) the Building, or c) some 60,000 rentable square foot combination of additional space in both buildings (the “60,000 Lease Commitment”), Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the Lease Term early, only as it relates to the Fifth Floor Expansion Space. Such early termination shall be made on no less than ninety (90) days advance written notice to Landlord and is subject to Tenant having signed the 60,000 Lease Commitment, such date to be referred to as the “Fifth Floor Early Termination Date”.

III.

FIFTH FLOOR MONTHLY BASE RENT:

The “Fifth Floor Expansion Space Monthly Base Rent” shall be defined as follows: Effective upon the Fifth Floor Expansion Space Commencement Date, the Fifth Floor Monthly Base Rent shall equal $14,043.00. Effective upon the first anniversary of the Fifth Floor Expansion Space Commencement Date and annually thereafter throughout the Lease Term, the Fifth Floor Expansion Space Monthly Base Rent shall be increased by three percent (3%).

IV.

EXPENSES:

It is Landlord and Tenant’s intent that the Fifth Floor Expansion Space Monthly Base Rent represents a fully triple-net rent. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that this means that, commencing upon the Fifth Floor Expansion Space Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay its pro-rata share (based on the agreed

B-2

3,725 square foot rentable area of the Fifth Floor Expansion Space) of Operating Expenses and Taxes in the form of additional Rent Adjustments and additional Rent Adjustment Deposits, which shall be calculated as set forth in Article 4 of the ESE Lease, as such was modified by Section 2A of the Lease.

USE:

Tenant’s use of the Fifth Floor Expansion Space shall be for laboratory and office purposes.

VI.

TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE:

In addition to the Fifth Floor Expansion Space Landlord Work defined herein, Landlord shall make a tenant improvement allowance available to Tenant in conjunction with Tenant’s lease of the Fifth Floor Expansion Space (the “Fifth Floor TI Allowance”), which shall be available to reimburse Tenant for valid expenditures Tenant makes to the Fifth Floor Expansion Space. The Fifth Floor TI Allowance shall equal $37,000.00, with one-half (1/2) of that amount, or $18,500.00, initially available to Tenant as of the Fifth Floor Expansion Space Commencement Date. The remaining $18,500.00 of the Fifth Floor TI Allowance shall only be made available to Tenant if Tenant, in writing, conclusively waives its right, via formal written notice to Landlord, to terminate the Lease Term as it relates to the Fifth Floor Expansion Space early, as outlined in Section II above. Any improvements Tenant shall make to the Fifth Floor Expansion Space, other than Tenant’s (i) painting of the Fifth Floor Expansion Space (ii) provision of power and data connections into the office portion of the Fifth Floor Expansion Space, and (iii) provision of power, data, CDA and vacuum connections into the laboratory portion of the Fifth Floor Expansion Space, all of which are hereby authorized and approved by Landlord, shall be pursuant to the terms of the Workletter attached to the Lease.

VII.

SECURITY DEPOSIT:

Effective upon the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, the existing Security Deposit called for under the Lease shall be increased pro-rata to reflect the addition of the Fifth Floor Expansion Space rentable area to the rentable area of Tenant’s existing Premises. Within no more than five (5) business days following the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, Tenant shall remit the necessary additional Security Deposit amount to Landlord.

VIII.

BROKERAGE:

Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that it has been represented in this transaction by CRESA (“Tenant’s Broker”). In the event, and only in the event, Tenant waives in writing its right to terminate the Lease Term early as it relates to the Fifth Floor Expansion Space, Landlord agrees to pay a brokerage commission to Tenant’s Broker pursuant to Landlord’s stated commission schedule for lab leases. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that no brokerage commission or other such fee shall be due and payable by Landlord to CRESA or to any other representative of Tenant as a result hereof other than as specifically detailed in the Section VI.

Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx

That certain lease dated November 3, 2014 by and between Berkeley Lights, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as Tenant, and Xxxxx Station Joint Venture, LLC, a California limited liability company, as Landlord, as such was modified by that First Amendment to Lease dated June 9, 2015 (the “First Amendment”) and by that Second Amendment to Lease dated September 25, 2015 (the “Second Amendment”), by the terms of that Third Amendment to Lease dated January 11, 2016 (the “Third Amendment”), by the terms of the Fourth Amendment to Lease dated January 18, 2016 (the “Fourth Amendment”), and by the terms of the Fifth Amendment to Lease dated April 7, 2016 (the “Fifth Amendment”), collectively constitute the “Lease”. The Lease is hereby further amended by the terms of this Sixth Amendment to Lease (the “Sixth Amendment”), which shall have an effective date of September 26, 2016 (the “Sixth Amendment Effective Date”). Effective upon the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, the existing Lease and this Sixth Amendment thereto shall thereafter collectively constitute and be referred to as the Lease for all purposes thereunder. Landlord and Tenant are entering into this Sixth Amendment with reference to the following facts:

Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment, including Section VI (a) thereof, Tenant leases from Landlord that 2,581 rentable square foot office space located on the second floor of the Building and more commonly referred to as Suite 263 (“Suite 263”, as outlined on Exhibit A hereto). Suite 263 constitutes a portion of Tenant’s Premises. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the Lease Term, as it relates specifically to the Suite 263 portion of Tenant’s Premises only, expires December 31, 2016.

B.	Pursuant to the terms of the Fifth Amendment, Tenant leases from Landlord that 3,725 rentable square foot lab and office space located on the fifth floor of the Building and commonly referred to as Suites 550/555 (the “Existing Fifth Floor Space”, as outlined on Exhibit A hereto).

Tenant has advised Landlord of Tenant’s increased space needs, which Tenant wishes to satisfy in the Building. Tenant has requested, and Landlord has agreed, to allow Tenant to expand Tenant’s Premises by addition thereto of that 7,189 rentable square foot office and lab space located on the fifth floor of the Building and more commonly referred to as Suite 500, as such is more specifically defined below. In conjunction with the expansion of Tenant’s Premises to include Suite 500, Tenant shall return possession of Suite 263 and of the Existing Fifth Floor Space to Landlord, as more specifically detailed herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals, which by this reference are incorporated herein, the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant are entering into this Sixth Amendment, whose specific terms and conditions are contained herein. All terms not specifically defined herein but referred to in this Sixth Amendment shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Lease:

ADDITION OF SUITE 500 TO THE PREMISES:

That specific office and lab space located on the Fifth floor of the Building, commonly referred to as Suite 500 and more specifically outlined in Exhibit A hereof, shall constitute and be referred to herein as “Suite 500”, as outlined on Exhibit A hereto.

The anticipated date of Landlord’s delivery of possession of Suite 500 to Tenant is October 1, 2016, Tenant understands and acknowledges that Suite 500 is presently leased and occupied by others through September 30, 2016, and that Landlord’s delivery of possession of Suite 500 to Tenant is dependent on said other party’s surrender of possession thereof to Landlord, In the event that Landlord reasonably believes it will not be able to deliver possession to Tenant on October 1, 2016, Landlord will promptly advise Tenant and provide Tenant with an updated anticipated delivery date,

The date of Landlord’s delivery of possession of Suite 500 to Tenant shall be referred to as the “Suite 500 Commencement Date”. From and after the Xxxxx 000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000 shall be considered part of Tenant’s Premises and subject to all the terms and conditions relating thereto under the Lease, including Tenant’s obligation to pay the appropriate Tenant Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes as they relate to Suite 500, as more fully detailed below.

Effective upon the Suite 500 Commencement Date, the Monthly Base Rent otherwise called for under the Lease shall be increased by the amount of the Suite 500 Monthly Base Rent.

During the Lease Term, Tenant shall be able to use Landlord’s FF&E free of charge. Tenant hereby agrees to accept Landlord’s FF&E in its existing as-is condition. Landlord makes no representations nor warranties regarding the condition, suitability, utility nor legality of Landlord’s FF&E, nor shall Landlord insure Landlord’s FF&E.

III.

SUITE 500 OPERATING EXPENSES AND TAXES:

It is Landlord’s and Tenant’s mutual intent that the Suite 500 Monthly Base Rent represents a fully triple-net rent. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that this means that, commencing upon the Suite 500 Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay its pro-rata share (based on the agreed 7,189 square foot rentable area of Suite 500) of Operating Expenses and Taxes in the form of additional Rent Adjustments and additional Rent Adjustment Deposits, which shall be calculated as set forth in Article 4 of the ESE Lease, as such was modified by Section 2A of the Lease.

IV.

LEASE TERM AS IT RELATES TO SUITE 500:

The Lease Term as it applies to Suite 500 shall commence upon the Suite 500 Commencement Date and shall expire December 31, 2023, as does the Lease Term as it relates to the Exiting Premises and to the Lab Expansion Space, as each is defined in the Second Amendment.

Within no more than five (5) business days following the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, Tenant shall remit the necessary additional Security Deposit amount to Landlord in good and collected funds.

VI.

SURRENDER OF EXISTING FIFTH FLOOR SPACE:

Within ten (10) business days of the Suite 500 Commencement Date, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Existing Fifth Floor Space to Landlord in the condition required of Tenant by the terms of the Lease addressing Expiration, the Existing Fifth Floor Space being broom-clean condition and with any and all lab areas de-contaminated and de-commissioned by a third-party experienced in such matters, such de-commissioning and de-contamination evidenced by commercially-reasonable written documentation of Tenant’s delivery of possession of the Existing Fifth Floor Space to Landlord as required in this Section VI shall be referred to as the “Existing Fifth Floor Space Lease Expiration Date”. The Lease Term, as such specifically relates to the Existing Fifth Floor Space but not to any other portions of Tenant’s Premises, shall expire on the Existing Fifth Floor Space Lease Expiration Date.

Tenant’s obligation to pay Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments and Rent Adjustment Deposits applicable to the Existing Fifth Floor Space shall remain in full force and effect until the Existing Fifth Floor Space Lease Expiration Date. Failure by Tenant to so deliver possession of the Existing Fifth Floor Space to Landlord as required in this Section VI shall constitute a Default under the Lease.

VII.

SURRENDER OF SUITE 263:

On or before December 31, 2016, Tenant shall surrender possession of Suite 263 to Landlord in the condition required of Tenant by the terms of the Lease concerning condition of the Premises upon the Lease’s expiration or earlier termination, including return of any Landlord FF&E that may have originally been associated with Suite 263.

Failure by Tenant to so deliver possession of Suite 263 to Landlord as required in this Section VII shall constitute a Default under the Lease.

B-4

VIII.

PARKING:

Pursuant to the Third Amendment, Tenant is presently entitled to up to ninety-eight (98) parking spaces, which total was to drop by eight (8) spaces, to a revised total of ninety (90) spaces, if and when Tenant’s Premises no longer included Suite 263. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, effective upon the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, Tenant’s parking shall be increased to a total of one hundred and ten (110) spaces, which total shall not be reduced when Tenant returns possession of Suite 263 to Landlord pursuant to Section VII above. All such parking shall be governed by the terms of the Lease, including Tenant’s obligation to pay Landlord’s quoted rates therefor.

IX.

TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE:

Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge the Tenant Improvement Allowance which Landlord made available to Tenant pursuant to Section VI of the Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Floor TI Allowance”). Notwithstanding the early termination of the Lease Term as it relates to the Existing Fifth Floor space, as such early termination is more fully described in Section VI of this Sixth Amendment above, in the event that any of the Fifth Floor TI Allowance remains un-advanced by Landlord to Tenant upon the Existing Fifth Floor Space Lease Expiration Date as such is defined above (such un-used TI being referred to herein as the “Un-Used Fifth Floor TI”), Landlord hereby agrees to make such Un-Used Fifth Floor TI available to Tenant for Tenant’s use in defraying the total cost of any approved Tenant Alterations made by Tenant to Suite 500. The terms regarding the availability of any Un-Used Fifth Floor TI shall continue to specify, per the agreed terms of Section VI of the Fifth Amendment, that an $18,500.00 portion thereof shall only be made available by Landlord to Tenant if Tenant, in writing, conclusively waives its right, via formal written notice to Landlord, to terminate the Lease Term as it relates to the Suite 500 early, as outlined in Section IV above. Any improvements Tenant shall make to Suite 500 and any advancements by Landlord to Tenant of the Un-Used Fifth Floor TI funds shall be pursuant to the terms of the Workletter attached to the Lease.

MISCELLANEOUS:

This Sixth Amendment sets forth the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein.

Except as herein modified or amended, the provisions, conditions and terms of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

In the case of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Lease and this Sixth Amendment thereto, the provisions of this Sixth Amendment shall govern and control.

Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be bound by this Sixth Amendment until each of Landlord and Tenant has executed and delivered the same to the other.

B-5

Capitalized terms used in this Sixth Amendment shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Lease to the extent that such capitalized terms are defined therein and not redefined in this Sixth Amendment.

Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that it has represented itself in this transaction and has not dealt with any broker or other representative in connection with this Sixth Amendment. Tenant hereby agrees that any compensation that may be due to any broker or representative of Tenant for this transaction shall be wholly the obligation of Tenant and that Landlord shall have no obligation to pay any commission or other form of compensation. Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that it has not been represented by, and has not dealt with any, broker or other representative in connection with this Sixth Amendment. Landlord and Tenant each agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from all claims of any brokers claiming to have represented it in connection with this Sixth Amendment other than as set forth in this section.

Landlord and Tenant represent to each other that the individual executing this Sixth Amendment on its behalf has the authority to execute and deliver the same on behalf of the party hereto for which such signatory is acting.

This Sixth Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts each of which is deemed an original but together constitute one and the same instrument. This Sixth Amendment may be executed in so-called “pdf” format and each party has the right to rely upon a pdf counterpart of this Sixth Amendment signed by the other party to the same extent as if such party had received an original counterpart.

If, after the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, Tenant enters into a new lease of not less than ten (10) years in length for at least 60,000 additional rentable square feet either in: a) the contemplated EmeryStation West Building, which may or may not be developed at all, in Landlord’s Affiliate’s sole and absolute discretion, or b) at least 20,000 in the Building, or c) some 60,000 rentable square foot combination of additional space in both buildings, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the Lease Term early, only as it relates to Suite 190 but not to other portions of Tenant’s Premises, such early termination to require no less than ninety (90) business days advance written notice to Landlord and which termination shall occur only upon Tenant’s occupancy in and commencement of paying rent for the afore-mentioned square feet of additional space, such date to be referred to as the “Suite 190 Early Termination Date”.

II.

SUITE 190 MONTHLY BASE RENT:

The “Suite 190 Monthly Base Rent” shall be $1,800.00 per month during calendar year 2017. Effective January 1, 2018 and annually thereafter throughout the Suite 190 Extension Term, the Suite 190 Monthly Base Rent shall be increased by three percent (3%).

III.

SUITE 190 OPERATING EXPENSES AND TAXES:

It is Landlord’s and Tenant’s mutual intent that the Suite 190 Monthly Base Rent represents a fully-serviced rent subject to a 2017 Base Year. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that this means that, commencing upon January 1, 2018 and thereafter throughout the Suite 190 Extension Term, Tenant shall pay its pro-rata share of all increases in Operating Expenses and Taxes for any calendar year to the extent they exceed the respective amounts of Operating Expenses and Taxes during calendar year 2017, such payment by Tenant being made in the form of additional Rent Adjustments and additional Rent Adjustment Deposits, which shall be calculated as set forth in Article 4 of the ESE Lease, as such was modified by Section 2A of the Lease.

III.

SUITE 190 USE:

Tenant’s use of Suite 190 shall be for office, storage and/or private athletic workout purposes.

IX.

XXXXXXXXXX XX XXXXX 000 XXXXXXXX XXXXXX FOOTAGE:

Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the rentable square footage of Suite 500, as defined in the Sixth Amendment, was incorrectly listed as 7,189 rentable square feet (in Recital C and in Sections I and III), and is actually 7,819 rentable square feet and shall be revised to be this latter 7,819 rentable square foot amount for all purposes under the Lease. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to correct this error effective upon the Seventh Amendment Effective Date. However, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that Tenant’s Monthly Base Rent will be calculated using the lower, 7,189 rentable square foot figure up to and including June 30, 2017 and that Monthly Base Rent shall be calculated using the otherwise correct 7,819 rentable square foot figure commencing July 1, 2017 and thereafter throughout the expiration or the Lease Term (including any extensions thereof). Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes, as referenced in Section III of the Sixth Amendment, shall be calculated utilizing the correct 7,819 rentable square footage figure commencing January 1, 2017.
