1.

Atara Sublease Agreement.  Atara and lntrexon hereby represent that a true and complete copy of the Atara Sublease is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit A, and Atara and lntrexon agree that the Atara Sublease with respect to Landlord and/or the Sublet Premises shall not be modified without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

2.

Representations.  Atara hereby represents and warrants that Atara (i) has full power and authority to sublease the Sublet Premises to lntrexon, (ii) has not transferred or conveyed its interest in the Original Sublease to any person or entity collaterally or otherwise, and (iii) has full power and authority to enter into the Atara Sublease and this Consent Agreement. Intrexon hereby represents and warrants that Intrexon has full power and authority to enter into the Atara Sublease and this Consent Agreement.

3.

Indemnity and Insurance.  Intrexon hereby assumes, with respect to Landlord, all of the indemnity obligations of Atara under the Original Sublease with respect to the Sublet Premises. In addition, lntrexon shall obtain and maintain the insurance required under Section 2.07 of the Original Sublease, as amended by Section 8 of the Atara Sublease. Nothing contained in this Section 3 shall be construed as relieving or releasing Atara from any such indemnity or insurance obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the same is legally permissible, Atara may satisfy such insurance obligation for itself and on behalf of Intrexon.

4.

No Release.  Nothing contained in the Atara Sublease or this Consent Agreement shall be construed as relieving or releasing Atara from any of its obligations under the Original Sublease, it being expressly understood and agreed that Atara shall remain liable for such obligations notwithstanding anything contained in the Atara Sublease or this Consent Agreement or any

1


 

subsequent assignment(s), sublease(s) or transfer(s) of the interest of the subtenant under the Original Sublease. Atara shall be responsible for the collection of all rent due it from Intrexon, and for the performance of all the other terms and conditions of the Atara Sublease, it being understood that Landlord is not a party to the Atara Sublease and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Atara Sublease, is not bound by any terms, provisions, representations or warranties contained in the Atara Sublease and is not obligated to Atara or lntrexon for any of the duties and obligations contained therein. 

5.

Costs.  Atara shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in preparing this Consent Agreement. Such costs and expenses shall be paid to Landlord, as Additional Rent under the Original Sublease, within ten (10) days following Landlord’s demand therefor.

6.

No Transfer.  Intrexon shall not further sublease the Sublet Premises, assign its interest as the subtenant under the Atara Sublease or otherwise transfer its interest in the Sublet Premises or the Atara Sublease to any person or entity without the written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion.

7.

Original Sublease.  The parties agree that the Atara Sublease is subject and subordinate to the terms of the Original Sublease, and all terms of the Original Sublease, other than Atara’s obligation to pay Base Rent, are incorporated into the Atara Sublease. In no event shall the Atara Sublease or this Consent Agreement be construed as granting or conferring upon Atara or Intrexon any greater rights than those contained in the Original Sublease nor shall there be any diminution of the rights and privileges of the Landlord under the Original Sublease, nor shall the Original Sublease be deemed modified in any respect. Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, any construction or alterations performed in or to the Sublet Premises shall be performed with Landlord’s prior written approval and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Original Sublease. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that any provisions in the Atara Sublease which limit the manner in which Atara may amend the Original Sublease are binding only upon Atara and Intrexon as between such parties. Landlord shall not be bound in any manner by such provisions and may rely upon Atara’s execution of any agreements amending or terminating the Original Sublease subsequent to the date hereof notwithstanding any contrary provisions in the Atara Sublease.

8.

Parking and Services.  Any parking rights granted to Intrexon pursuant to the Atara Sublease shall be satisfied out of the parking rights, if any, granted to Atara under the Original Sublease. Atara hereby authorizes Intrexon, as agent for Atara, to obtain services and materials for or related to the Sublet Premises, and Atara agrees to pay for such services and materials as Additional Rent under the Original Sublease upon written demand from Landlord. However, as a convenience to Atara, Landlord may bill lntrexon directly for such services and materials, or any portion thereof, in which event lntrexon shall pay for the services and materials so billed upon written demand, provided that such billing shall not relieve Atara from its primary obligation to pay for such services and materials.

9.

Attornment.  If the Original Sublease or Atara’s right to possession thereunder terminates for any reason prior to expiration of the Atara Sublease, lntrexon agrees, at the written election of Landlord, to attorn to Landlord upon the then executory terms and conditions of the Atara Sublease for the remainder of the term of the Atara Sublease. In the event of any such election by Landlord, Landlord will not be (a) liable for any Rent paid by Intrexon to Atara more than one month in advance, or any security deposit paid by Intrexon to Atara, unless same has been transferred to Landlord by Atara; (b) liable for any act or omission of Atara under the Original Sublease, Atara Sublease or any other agreement between Atara and Intrexon or for any default of Atara under any such documents which occurred prior to the effective date of the attornment; (c) subject to any defenses or offsets that Intrexon may have against Atara which arose prior to the effective date of the attornment; (d) bound by any changes or modifications made to the Atara Sublease without the written consent of Landlord, (e) obligated in any manner with respect to the transfer, delivery, use or condition of any furniture, equipment or other personal property in the Sublet Premises which Sublandord agreed would be transferred to Intrexon or which Atara agreed could be used by Intrexon during the term of the Atara Sublease, or (f) liable for the payment of any improvement allowance, or any other payment, credit, offset or amount due from Atara to Intrexon under the Atara Sublease. If Landlord does not elect to have Intrexon attorn to Landlord as described above, the Atara Sublease and all rights of Intrexon in the Sublet Premises shall terminate upon the date of termination of the Original Sublease or Atara’s right to possession thereunder. It is all parties’ expressed intent that, should the Original Sublease terminate for any reason whatsoever, including the voluntary surrender of same by Atara and the acceptance thereof by Landlord, then the Atara Sublease shall terminate. This provision is entered into with full knowledge of the case of Buttner v. Kasser (1912) 19 Cal.App. 755, and it is the parties’ express intent that the holding of Buttner and similar cases shall not apply to the Atara Sublease. The terms of this Section 9 supercede any contrary provisions in the Atara Sublease.

10.

Payments Under the Atara Sublease.  If at any time Atara is in default under the terms of the Original Sublease, Landlord shall have the right to contact Intrexon and require Intrexon to pay all Rent due under the Atara Sublease directly to Landlord until such time as Atara has cured such default. lntrexon agrees to pay such sums directly to Landlord if requested by Landlord, and Atara agrees that any such sums paid by lntrexon shall be deemed applied against any sums owed by Intrexon under the Atara Sublease. Any such sums received by Landlord from lntrexon shall be received by Landlord on behalf of Atara and shall be

2


 

applied by Landlord to any sums past due under the Original Sublease, in such order of priority as required under the Original Sublease or, if the Original Sublease is silent in such regard, then in such order of priority as Landlord deems appropriate. The receipt of such funds by Landlord shall in no manner be deemed to create a direct lease or sublease between Landlord and Intrexon. If Intrexon fails to deliver its Atara Sublease payments directly to Landlord as required herein following receipt of written notice from Landlord as described above, then Landlord shall have the right to remove any signage of Intrexon, at Intrexon’s cost, located outside the Premises or in the Building lobby or elsewhere in the Building and to pursue any other rights or remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity. 

11.

Excess Rent.  If Landlord is entitled to any excess rent from Atara pursuant to the terms of the Original Sublease, then, in addition to all Rent otherwise payable by Atara to Landlord under the Original Sublease, Atara shall also pay to Landlord the portion of the excess rent to which Landlord is entitled under the Original Sublease, in the manner described in the Original Sublease. Landlord’s failure to bill Atara for, or to otherwise collect, such sums shall in no manner be deemed a waiver by Landlord of its right to collect such sums in accordance with the Original Sublease.

12.

Atara Notice Address.  Atara’s new address for notices to Atara under the Original Sublease shall be as follows: Atara Biotherapeutics, Inc., 611 Gateway Boulevard, Suite 900, South San Francisco, California 94080, Attention: General Counsel.

13.

ERISA.  It is understood that from time to time during the term of the Original Sublease, Landlord may be subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and as a result may be prohibited by law from engaging in certain transactions. Atara and Intrexon each represents and warrants after due inquiry that at the time this Consent Agreement is entered into and at any time thereafter when its terms are amended or modified, none of Atara, Intrexon or their respective “affiliates” (as defined in Part VI (c) of Prohibited Transaction Exemption 84-14 (“PTE 84-14”), as amended) has the authority to appoint or terminate The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”) as an investment manager to any employee benefit plan invested in the Prudential separate account PRISA, nor the authority to negotiate the terms of any management agreement between Prudential and any such employee benefit plan for its investment in PRISA. Further, neither Atara nor Intrexon is “related” to Prudential within the meaning of Part VI(h) of PTE 84-14.

14.

Authority.  Each signatory of this Consent Agreement represents hereby that he or she has the authority to execute and deliver the same on behalf of the party hereto for which such signatory is acting. Neither Atara nor Intrexon is, nor shall either Atara or Intrexon during the term of the Original Sublease become, a person or entity with whom Landlord is restricted from doing business under the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, H. R. 3162, Public Law 107-56 (commonly known as the “USA Patriot Act”) and Executive Order Number 13224 on Terrorism Financing, effective September 24, 2001 and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto (collectively, “Anti­ Terrorism Laws”), including without limitation persons and entities named on the Office of Foreign Asset Control Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (collectively, “Prohibited Persons”). Neither Atara nor lntrexon is currently engaged in any transactions or dealings, or otherwise associated with, any Prohibited Persons in connection with the use or occupancy of the Premises or the Building. Neither Atara nor lntrexon will, during the term of the Original Lease, engage in any transactions or dealings, or be otherwise associated with, any Prohibited Persons in connection with the use or occupancy of the Premises or the Building. If at any time after the date hereof either Atara or Intrexon becomes a Prohibited Person, then Atara or Intrexon, as applicable, shall notify Landlord within five (5) business days after becoming aware of such designation. If either Atara or Intrexon breaches any representation or covenant set forth in this Section, or if either Atara or Intrexon hereafter becomes a Prohibited Person, then in any such event, the same shall constitute a breach of the Original Sublease, entitling Landlord to any and all remedies under the Original Sublease or at law or in equity (including the right to terminate the Original Sublease without affording any notice or cure period).

15.

Certified Access Specialist.  Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938, Landlord hereby notifies Atara and Intrexon that as of the date of this Consent Agreement, the Sublet Premises has not undergone inspection by a “Certified Access Specialist” to determine whether the Sublet Premises meet all applicable construction-related accessibility standards under California Civil Code Section 55.53.

16.

Limitation of Landlord’s Liability.  Redress for any claim against Landlord under this Consent Agreement shall be limited to and enforceable only against and to the extent of Landlord’s interest in the Building. The obligations of Landlord under this Consent Agreement, if any, are not intended to be and shall not be personally binding on, nor shall any resort be had to the private properties of, any of its or its investment manager’s trustees, directors, officers, partners, beneficiaries, members, stockholders, employees, or agents, and in no case shall Landlord be liable to Atara and/or Intrexon hereunder for any lost profits, damage to business, or any form of special, indirect or consequential damage.

In addition, Subtenant shall maintain Special Form Property insurance covering Subtenant’s personal property, fixtures, equipment, the Furniture and any alterations or improvements performed by or on behalf of Subtenant on the Subleased Premises in amounts at least equal to the full replacement costs thereof. All such policies of insurance shall name Overlandlord and Sublandlord as additional insureds thereunder. Subtenant's insurance shall be primary over Overlandlord's and Sublandlord's insurance with respect to the Subleased Premises.

(c)     On account of or based upon (including monies due on account of) any work or thing whatsoever done (other than by Overlandlord or Sublandlord or their respective contractors, agents or employees of either) on the Subleased Premises during the term of this Sublease and during the period of time, if any, prior to the Term Commencement Date that Subtenant may have been given access to the Subleased Premises.
