Within forty five (45) days following the occurrence of such damage, Landlord shall inform Tenant in writing of Landlord’s estimate of the time required to complete repairs to the Premises. Further, if any portion of the Premises is damaged and is not fully covered by the aggregate of insurance proceeds received by Landlord and any applicable deductible or if the holder of any indebtedness secured by the Premises requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, and Tenant does not voluntarily contribute any shortfall thereof to Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the date of notice to Tenant of any such event. Such termination shall not excuse the performance by Tenant of those covenants which under the terms hereof survive termination.

5. Right of First Offer: Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant is, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Amendment, executing and delivering leases to Landlord for all of the Expansion Spaces (as defined in Addendum 2 to the Lease) and therefore, Addendum 2 to the Lease shall be of no further force or effect upon the execution and delivery of such leases for the Expansion Spaces.

Addendum 1

Options to Extend

This Addendum 1 (the “Addendum”) is incorporated as a part of that certain Second Amendment to Industrial Lease dated

December     , 2010 (the “Amendment”), by and between AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”), and Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc., a Delaware corporation dba Pac Bio, Inc. (“Tenant”), for the leasing of those certain premises commonly known as 1380 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California. Any capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms as set forth in the Amendment.

1. Grant of Extension Options. Subject to the provisions, limitations and conditions set forth in Paragraph 5 below, Tenant shall have an Option (individually, an “Option” and collectively, the “Options”) to extend the Extended Term of the Lease for two (2) consecutive five (5) year periods (individually, an “Option Extended Term” and collectively, “Option Extended Terms”).

2. Tenant’s Option Notice. Tenant shall have the right to deliver written notice to Landlord of its intent to exercise an Option (the “Option Notice”). If Landlord does not receive an Option Notice from Tenant on a date which is neither more than three hundred sixty five (365) days nor less than two hundred twenty five (225) days prior to the end of the Extended Term or first Option Extended Term, as applicable, all rights under the applicable Option shall automatically terminate and shall be of no further force or effect. Upon the proper exercise of the first Option, subject to the provisions, limitations and conditions set forth in this Addendum, the Extended Term of the Lease shall be extended for the first Option Extended Term and upon the proper exercise of the second Option, subject to the provisions, limitations and conditions set forth in Paragraph 5 below, the first Option Extended Term shall be extended for the second Option Extended Term; provided, Tenant shall have no right to exercise the Option for the second Option Extended Term if Tenant failed to properly exercise the Option for the first Option Extended Term.

3. Determination of the Option Rent.

A. The Base Rent payable for each month during each Option Extended Term shall be set at ninety-five percent (95%) of the then-prevailing fair market rental rate (the “Prevailing Rental Rate”) for renewals of space of equivalent quality, type, size and location in comparable R&D buildings in Menlo Park, with the length of the applicable Option Extended Term, the then credit standing of Tenant, tenant improvement allowances then being granted in the marketplace and other market rent concessions then being offered in the marketplace to be taken into account. The Prevailing Rental Rate shall include the periodic rental increases, if any, that would be included for space leased for the period the Premises will be covered by the Lease. As used herein, “then-prevailing” shall mean the time period which is six (6) months prior to the commencement of the applicable Option Extended Term and not the commencement date of the applicable Option Extended Term. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice to renew, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate and shall advise Tenant of the required adjustment to Base Rent, if any, and the other terms and conditions offered. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, time being of the essence with respect thereto, notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant accepts or rejects Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate.

B. If Tenant rejects Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate, Tenant’s written notice shall include Tenant’s own determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate. If Tenant does not deliver any written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice of the Prevailing Rental Rate, Tenant shall be deemed to have withdrawn its exercise of its rights under this Addendum, whereupon Tenant’s rights under this Addendum shall be null and void and of no further force or effect. If Tenant and Landlord disagree on the Prevailing Rental Rate, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the Prevailing Rental Rate. If by that date which is four (4) months prior to the commencement of the applicable Option Extended Term (the “Option Trigger Date”), Landlord and Tenant have not agreed in writing as to the Prevailing Rental Rate, the parties shall determine the Prevailing Rental Rate in accordance with the procedure set forth in Paragraph C below.

C. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement on the Prevailing Rental Rate by the Option Trigger Date, then within ten (10) days of the applicable Option Trigger Date, Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously submit to the other in a sealed envelope its good faith estimate of the Prevailing Rental Rate. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to propose a Prevailing Rental Rate, then the Prevailing Rental Rate proposed by the other party shall prevail. If the higher of such estimates is not more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower, then the Prevailing Rental Rate shall be the average of the two. Otherwise, the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the remainder of this Paragraph C. Within seven (7) days after the exchange of estimates, the parties shall select as an arbitrator a licensed real estate broker with at least ten (10) years of experience leasing premises in Class A office buildings in Central San Mateo County (a “Qualified Arbitrator”). If the parties cannot agree on a Qualified Arbitrator, then within a second period of seven (7) days, each shall select a Qualified Arbitrator and within ten (10) days thereafter the two appointed Qualified Arbitrators shall select a third Qualified Arbitrator (which third Qualified Arbitrator shall not previously have represented either party hereto) and the third Qualified Arbitrator shall be the sole arbitrator (the “Sole Arbitrator”). If one party shall fail to select a Qualified Arbitrator within the second seven (7)-day period, then the Qualified Arbitrator chosen by the other party shall be the Sole Arbitrator. Within thirty (30) days after submission of the matter to the Sole Arbitrator, the Sole Arbitrator shall determine the Prevailing Rental Rate by choosing whichever of the estimates submitted by

 

Addendum 1, Page 1


Landlord and Tenant the Sole Arbitrator judges to be more accurate. The Sole Arbitrator shall notify Landlord and Tenant of his or her decision, which shall be final and binding. If the Sole Arbitrator believes that expert advice would materially assist him or her, the Sole Arbitrator may retain one or more qualified persons to provide expert advice. The fees of the arbitrator selected by each party shall be borne by that party. The fees of the Sole Arbitrator and the expenses of the arbitration proceeding, including the fees of any expert witnesses retained by the Sole Arbitrator, shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant.

D. If Tenant timely notifies Landlord that Tenant accepts Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate, or following resolution of the Prevailing Rental Rate via mutual agreement or via arbitration, whichever shall be applicable, then, on or before the commencement date of the applicable Option Extended Term, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease prepared by Landlord extending the Term on the same terms provided in this Lease, except as follows:

(i) Base Rent shall be adjusted to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Prevailing Rental Rate (which shall be the rental rate set forth in Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate, the rental rate determined by mutual agreement or the Prevailing Rental Rate determined by arbitration, as the case may be, but in no event less than the Base Rent payable by Tenant immediately prior to the expiration of the Extended Term of this Lease with respect to the first Option Extended Term and in no event less than the Base Rent payable by Tenant immediately prior to the expiration of the first Option Extended Term with respect to the second Option Extended Term);

(ii) Tenant shall have no further renewal Option (except as expressly set forth in this Addendum 1) unless expressly granted by Landlord in writing; and

(iii) Landlord shall lease the Premises to Tenant in their then-current condition, and Landlord shall not provide to Tenant any allowances (e.g., improvement allowance) or other tenant inducements, or pay any leasing commissions.

E. Tenant’s rights under this Addendum shall terminate if (1) this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises is terminated, (2) Tenant assigns any of its interest in this Lease or sublets any portion of the Premises, or (3) Tenant fails to timely exercise its Option under this Addendum, time being of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise thereof. Tenant shall have no other rights to extend the Term of the Lease under this Addendum unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree in writing.

4. Condition of Premises for the Option Extended Terms. If Tenant timely and properly exercises this Option, in strict accordance with the terms contained herein, Tenant shall accept the Premises in its then “As-Is” condition and, accordingly, Landlord shall not be required to perform any additional improvements to the Premises. Tenant shall not be responsible for brokerage commissions payable to a broker procured or hired by Tenant in connection with the Option if Landlord has agreed in writing to pay such commission.

5. Limitations On, and Conditions To, Extension Option. This Option is personal to Tenant and may not be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, separate from or as part of the Lease. At Landlord’s option, all rights of Tenant under this Option shall terminate and be of no force or effect if any of the following individual events occur or any combination thereof occur: (1) Tenant has been in default at any time during the Extended Term or first Option Extended Term, as applicable, of the Lease, or is in default of any provision of the Lease on the date Landlord receives the Option Notice; and/or (2) Tenant has assigned its rights and obligations under all or part of the Lease or Tenant has subleased all or part of the Premises; and/or (3) Tenant’s financial condition is unacceptable to Landlord at the time the Option Notice is delivered to Landlord; and/or (4) Tenant has failed to exercise properly this Option in a timely manner in strict accordance with the provisions of this Addendum; and/or (5) Tenant no longer has possession of all or any part of the Premises under the Lease, or if the Lease has been terminated earlier, pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Lease.

6. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every time period described in this Addendum.
