RECITALS

A. WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease dated as of January 27, 2012 (the “Original Lease”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of November 2, 2012 (the “First Amendment”) and together with the Original Lease and as the same may have been amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Lease”), whereby Tenant leases certain premises (the “Original Premises”) from Landlord at 201 Elliott Avenue West in Seattle, Washington (the “Building”);

B. WHEREAS, Landlord desires to lease to Tenant and Tenant desires to lease from Landlord additional premises in the Building; and

C. WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to modify and amend the Lease only in the respects and on the conditions hereinafter stated.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Tenant, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Definitions. For purposes of this Second Amendment, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Lease unless otherwise defined herein. The Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, is referred to herein as the “Amended Lease.” The Premises leased pursuant to the Original Lease shall be referred to herein as the “Original Lease Premises.”

2. Premises.

2.1. Effective as of the Additional Vivarium Commencement Date (as defined below), Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, approximately five thousand one hundred seventy-seven (5,177) additional square feet of Rentable Area located in the Vivarium, as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Additional Vivarium Premises”), for use by Tenant in accordance with the Permitted Use and in accordance with all other terms and conditions of the Amended Lease. From and after the Additional Vivarium Commencement Date, (a) if the Additional Vivarium Commencement Date occurs prior to the First Expansion Commencement Date, the term “Premises,” as used in the Amended Lease, shall mean the Original Lease Premises plus the Additional Vivarium Premises, for a total of sixty-nine thousand six hundred sixty (69,660) square feet of Rentable Area or (b) if the Additional Vivarium Commencement Date occurs after the First Expansion Commencement Date, the term “Premises,” as used in the Amended Lease, shall mean the Original Lease Premises plus the

BioMed Realty form dated 4/12/12

Additional Vivarium Premises plus the First Expansion Premises, for a total of eighty-three thousand twenty-three (83,023) square feet of Rentable Area, and, in either case, the term “Tenant Vivarium Space,” as used in the Amended Lease, shall mean the initial Tenant Vivarium Space plus the Additional Vivarium Premises; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms “Premises” and “Tenant Vivarium Space,” as used in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.5 of the Original Lease, shall refer only to the Original Premises (i.e., the Original Lease Premises plus the First Expansion Premises) and the initial Tenant Vivarium Space, as applicable; and provided, further, that, for purposes of this Second Amendment, references to the Premises, Term Commencement Date, Tenant’s Vivarium Space and Tenant Improvements, as used in Section 4.3 of the Original Lease, shall mean the Additional Vivarium Premises, Additional Vivarium Commencement Date, Additional Vivarium Premises and Additional Vivarium Improvements, respectively.

2.2. If the Additional Vivarium Commencement Date occurs before the First Expansion Commencement Date (as defined in the First Amendment), the last sentence of Section 2 of the First Amendment is hereby deleted and replaced with the following and shall be read in conjunction with this Second Amendment: “From and after the First Expansion Commencement Date, but subject to the proviso in the last sentence of Section 2.1 of this Second Amendment, the term “Premises,” as used in the Amended Lease, shall mean the Original Lease Premises plus the Additional Vivarium Premises plus the First Expansion Premises, for a total of eighty-three thousand twenty-three (83,023) square feet of Rentable Area.”

3. Additional Vivarium Term. The term of the Amended Lease with respect to the Additional Vivarium Premises (as the same may be earlier terminated in accordance with the Amended Lease, the “Additional Vivarium Term”) shall commence on the actual Additional Vivarium Commencement Date (as defined below) and end on the Term Expiration Date, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the Amended Lease.

3.1. Termination Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Amended Lease, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Amended Lease (except for those terms that, by their express provisions, survive the expiration or earlier termination thereof), but only with respect to the Additional Vivarium Premises, by providing written notice (the “Additional Vivarium Termination Notice”) to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to Tenant’s desired termination date (the “Additional Vivarium Termination Date”), which Additional Vivarium Termination Date shall be set forth in the Additional Vivarium Termination Notice. Subject to (a) Landlord’s timely receipt of the Additional Vivarium Termination Notice and (b) Tenant surrendering the Additional Vivarium Premises in the condition required under the Amended Lease, then, as of the Additional Vivarium Termination Date, the Amended Lease with respect to the Additional Vivarium Premises shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, and Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of their respective obligations under the Amended Lease with respect to the Additional Vivarium Premises from and after the Additional Vivarium Termination Date, except with respect to those obligations set forth in the Amended Lease that expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination thereof, including payment by Tenant of all amounts owed by Tenant pursuant to the Amended Lease with respect to the Additional Vivarium Premises for the period up to and including the Additional Vivarium Termination Date. The termination right granted to Tenant pursuant to this Section shall automatically

terminate and be of no further force or effect in the event that (y) Tenant assigns, subleases or otherwise Transfers the Additional Vivarium Premises or any portion thereof to other entities or persons, other than in connection with an Exempt Transfer (or in connection with any sublease approved by Landlord pursuant to Article 29 of the Original Lease), or (z) Tenant’s right to possession of the Additional Vivarium Premises has previously been terminated. The termination right granted to Tenant pursuant to this Section is personal to Tenant and any Permitted Transferees, and may not be exercised by any other assignee, sublessee or transferee of Tenant’s or a Permitted Transferee’s interest in the Amended Lease.

4. Possession and Additional Vivarium Commencement Date.

4.1. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to tender possession of the Additional Vivarium Premises to Tenant on November 16, 2012 (the “Estimated Additional Vivarium Commencement Date”), with the work (the “Additional Vivarium Improvements”) described on Exhibit B attached hereto Substantially Complete. Tenant agrees that, in the event such work is not Substantially Complete on or before the Estimated Additional Vivarium Commencement Date for any reason, then (a) this Second Amendment shall not be void or voidable, (b) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom and (c) Tenant shall not be responsible for the payment of any Base Rent or Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, in each case with respect to the Additional Vivarium Premises, until the actual Additional Vivarium Commencement Date occurs. Notwithstanding anything in the Amended Lease to the contrary, Landlord’s obligation to timely achieve Substantial Completion shall be subject to extension on a day-for-day basis as a result of Excusable Delays.

4.2. The “Additional Vivarium Commencement Date” shall be the later of (a) the Estimated Additional Vivarium Commencement Date and (b) the day Landlord tenders possession of the Additional Vivarium Premises to Tenant with the Additional Vivarium Improvements Substantially Complete. If possession is delayed by action of Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors, then the Additional Vivarium Commencement Date shall be the date that the Additional Vivarium Commencement Date would have occurred but for such delay. Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord written acknowledgment of the actual Additional Vivarium Commencement Date within ten (10) days after Tenant takes occupancy of the Additional Vivarium Premises, in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto. Failure to execute and deliver such acknowledgment, however, shall not affect the Additional Vivarium Commencement Date or Landlord’s or Tenant’s liability hereunder. Failure by Tenant to obtain validation by any medical review board or other similar governmental licensing of the Additional Vivarium Premises required for the Permitted Use by Tenant shall not serve to extend the Additional Vivarium Commencement Date.

5. Base Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Base Rent for the Additional Vivarium Premises, commencing on the Additional Vivarium Commencement Date, the following sums:

7. Condition of Additional Vivarium Premises. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the condition of the Additional Vivarium Premises, the Building or the Project, or with respect to the suitability of the Additional Vivarium Premises, the Building or the Project for the conduct of Tenant’s business. Tenant acknowledges that (a) it is fully familiar with the condition of the Additional Vivarium Premises and agrees to take the same in its condition “as is” as of the Additional Vivarium Commencement Date and (b) Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, repair or otherwise prepare the Additional Vivarium Premises for Tenant’s occupancy or to pay for or construct any improvements to the Additional Vivarium Premises, except with respect to the Additional Vivarium Improvements.

8. Sales Tax Deferral. Sales and Use Tax otherwise applicable to the Additional Vivarium Improvements may be eligible for the Tax Deferral. Any such eligible construction shall be included in the term “Qualifying Investment.” Any Tax Deferral received as a result of work in connection with this Second Amendment shall be included in the Actual Deferral and shall be subject to Section 4.7 of the Original Lease; provided, however, that Landlord has previously satisfied its obligation in such Section to file an application with the DOR seeking the Tax Deferral.

9. Broker. Tenant represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker or agent in the negotiation for or the obtaining of this Second Amendment and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all cost or liability for compensation claimed by any such broker or agent employed or engaged by it or claiming to have been employed or engaged by it.

10. No Default. Tenant represents, warrants and covenants that, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, Landlord and Tenant are not in default of any of their respective obligations under the Lease and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both) would constitute a default by either Landlord or Tenant thereunder.

11. Notices. Tenant confirms that, notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, from and after the Term Commencement Date, notices delivered to Tenant pursuant to the Amended Lease should be sent to:
