THIS ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF LEASE ("Assignment"), is made and dated for reference purposes as of the 31st day of July, 2015 (the "Execution Date"), by and between J. CRAIG VENTER INSTITUTE, INC., successor in interest to The Institute for Genomic Research Inc., a Maryland non-stock corporation ("Assignor"), and MACROGENICS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Assignee"), both of whom may be referred to herein as the "Parties" and each of whom may be referred to herein as a "Party."
RECITALS
A. Assignor and BMR-Medical Center Drive LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Landlord") are parties to that certain Lease dated May 3, 2010 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of March 26, 2014, the "Lease"). Unless otherwise expressly defined herein, capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meaning given to such terms in the Lease.
B. This Assignment is being entered into for the purpose of memorializing the assignment by Assignor to Assignee of the Lease, subject to the terms and conditions of this Assignment and the Landlord Consent attached hereto.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise expressly defined herein, capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meaning given to such terms in the Lease.
2. Surrender; Early Access Rights. Assignor shall surrender the Premises to Assignee in broom clean condition and in the condition required under the Lease upon surrender of the Premises no later than December 1, 2015 (the "Surrender Date"). In addition, Assignor agrees to deliver the Premises to Assignee in compliance with all Applicable Laws, including the ADA, and with all Building systems, including elevator, plumbing, air conditioning, heating, electrical, security, life, safety and power, and systems serving the lab of the Premises, and the Generator in good working order, provided in no event shall Assignor be obligated to remedy any non-compliance or satisfy any obligation which is not the express obligation of the Tenant under the terms and conditions of the Lease. No later than thirty (30) days prior to the Surrender Date, Assignee shall be required to conduct an inspection of the Premises and to identify to Assignor any part of the Premises or the Generator that is not in good working order; provided, however, that Assignee's completion of such inspection and identification to Assignor or any part of the Premises or the Generator that is not in good working order shall not release Assignor of any obligations with respect to latent defects to the Premises or the Generator, or any failure of the Premises or the Generator to be in good working order that arises after Assignee's completion of such inspection and before the Surrender Date. If any part of the Premises or the Generator fails to comply with any of the foregoing conditions as of the Surrender Date, and provided that the satisfaction of such condition is not the express obligation of Landlord under the terms and conditions of the Lease, then Assignee may (but shall not be obligated to) perform such alterations as are required to bring the Premises or the Generator, as applicable, into compliance with Applicable Laws and to cause all Building systems and systems serving the lab of the Premises and the Generator to be in good working order at Assignor's sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Assignor shall cause the remediation of any recognized environmental conditions set forth in the Exit Survey (as defined in the Landlord Consent) and compliance with any recommendations set forth in the Exit Survey as of or prior to the Assignment Date, and Assignor shall remain responsible for such obligations after Assignor's surrender of the Premises and the occurrence of the Assignment Date. Commencing on the Surrender Date and continuing until the Assignment Date (as defined below) (the "Early Access Period"), Assignor shall grant Assignee and its contractors, subcontracts and employees (collectively, the "Assignee Group") a right of entry and access to the Premises for the purpose of installing improvements and the placement of personal property, but not for the purpose of conducting Tenant's business (the "Early Access Rights"), provided that Assignee shall furnish to Assignor and Landlord evidence satisfactory to Assignor and Landlord in advance that insurance coverages required of Assignor under the provisions of Article 23 of the Lease are in effect, and such entry shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Lease, other than the payment of Base Rent or Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses. In connection with the foregoing, during the Early Access Period, Assignor shall retain access to the Premises for the limited purpose of moving its Data Center located on the first floor of the Premises to a new off-site location ("Data Center Move"); provided that Assignor shall furnish to Assignee and Landlord evidence satisfactory to Assignee and Landlord in advance that insurance coverages required of Assignor under the provisions of Article 23 of the Lease are in effect, and such access shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Lease; further provided that Assignor shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises, the Building or the Project caused by such retained access to the Premises or performance of the Data Center Move or, if Assignee, in its sole discretion, shall elect to make such repairs, to pay to Assignee promptly the costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. On the Surrender Date, except for keys, security codes and other electronic access cards to the Premises necessary for Assignor to complete the Data Center Move (which shall be returned by Assignor to Assignee on or before the end of the Early Access period), Assignor shall deliver all keys, security codes and other electronic access cards to the Premises, including all office and restroom keys, codes and access cards, and all FF&E (defined below) to Assignee. Assignee shall indemnify, save, defend (at Landlord's or Assignor's option, as applicable, and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord or Assignor, as applicable) and hold Landlord, Assignor and their respective affiliates, successors and assigns, and their respective directors, officers, shareholders and employees, harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, suits, proceedings, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees (collectively, "Claims") arising out of or relating to the exercise of the Early Access Rights by the Assignee Group. The later of (i) January 1, 2016 and (ii) the date upon which Assignor shall have satisfied its obligations under this Section 2 and Section 8 and any conditions precedent to Assignor's assignment of the Lease set forth in the Landlord Consent attached hereto shall be the "Assignment Date."

3. Assignment of Lease. Subject to the provisions of this Assignment, effective as of the Assignment Date, Assignor hereby grants, assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to Assignee, and Assignee hereby accepts the assignment of, the Lease and all of the right, title, interest, privileges and obligations of the "Tenant" thereunder.
4. Assumption of Obligations.

5. Security Deposit. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Assignment, Assignee acknowledges that Assignor is not assigning to Assignee any right, title and interest in and to the Security Deposit (or remaining balance thereof) delivered by Assignor to Landlord pursuant to the Lease. Assignor acknowledges that Assignor has consented to Landlord's retention of the Security Deposit to be applied as a credit toward the Leasing Cost Payment (as such term is defined in the Landlord Consent) to be paid by Assignor to Landlord pursuant to Section 4 of the Landlord Consent. Accordingly, Assignor waives and relinquishes to Landlord all of Assignor's right, title and interest in and to any refund of the Security Deposit.
6. Assignor Indemnification. As of the Assignment Date, Assignor shall indemnify, save, defend (at Assignee's option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Assignee, except to the extent a Claim is defended by Assignor's insurance company and such company expressly prohibits Assignor or Assignee from approving such counsel) and hold Assignee and Assignee's affiliates, successors and assigns, and their respective directors, officers, shareholders and employees (collectively, the "Assignee Parties") harmless from and against any and all Claims arising out of, by virtue of or in any way related to (i) the breach by Assignor (or Assignor's failure to timely perform) any or all of the obligations imposed on the "Tenant" under the Lease, which obligations accrued as of or prior to the Assignment Date, including, without limitation, with respect to the condition of the Premises; and (ii) Assignor's access of the Premises during the Early Access Period for the Data Center Move and performance of the Data Center Move. As of the Assignment Date, Assignor hereby releases, remises, acquits and forever discharges Assignee and the Assignee Parties from and against any and all Claims arising out of or in any way relating to the obligations imposed on the "Tenant" under the Lease, which obligations accrued as of or prior to the Assignment Date (except to the extent any Claims are the result of the acts, omissions, negligence or intentional misconduct of any of the Assignee Group during the Early Access Period), or arising from the actions of any of the Assignor Parties (as defined below) with respect to this Lease or the Premises as of or prior to the Assignment Date, provided, however, that the foregoing release shall not apply to any default or breach by Assignee of its obligations under this Agreement.
7. Assignee Indemnification. As of the Assignment Date, Assignee shall indemnify, save, defend (at Assignor's option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Assignor) and hold Assignor and Assignor's affiliates, successors and assigns, and their respective directors, officers, shareholders and employees (collectively, the "Assignor Parties") harmless from and against any and all Claims arising out of, by virtue of or in any way related to the breach by Assignee (or Assignee's failure to timely perform) any or all of the obligations imposed on the Tenant under the Lease, which obligations accrue from and after the Assignment Date. As of the Assignment Date, Assignee hereby releases, remises, acquits and forever discharges Assignor and the Assignor Parties from and against any and all Claims arising out of or in any way relating to the obligations imposed on the "Tenant" under the Lease, which obligations accrued after the Assignment Date, or arising from the actions of any of the Assignee Parties with respect to this Lease or the Premises as of or prior to the Assignment Date, provided, however, that the foregoing release shall not apply to any default or breach by Assignor of its obligations under this Agreement or with respect to any Claims arising from Assignor's access to the Premises during the Early Access Period for the Data Center Move or performance of the Data Center Move.
8. Assignment Fee. On or before the date that is four (4) business days after the Execution Date, Assignor shall pay to Assignee an assignment fee in the amount of Two Million Fifty Six Thousand Four Hundred Ninety Four Dollars ($2,056,494.00) in consideration of Assignee's assumption of the Lease pursuant to this Assignment (the "Assignment Fee").

Assignor shall reasonably cooperate with Assignee to transfer and assign the Assumed Contracts to Assignee effective as of the Assignment Date, including without limitation by delivering to Assignee a duly executed Bill of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Assignor's obligations under this paragraph shall survive any assignment of the Lease. Failure to complete the surrender the Premises in broom clean condition and in the condition required under the Lease and the Assignment or the performance of all of Assignor's obligations under this paragraph by the Surrender Date shall constitute a holdover in the Premises without Landlord's consent, and Assignor shall be subject to the provisions of Article 27 of the Lease with respect to any period after the Surrender Date during which such failure continues. Landlord hereby confirms that the Turnover Date (as defined in the Lease) has not occurred as of the date hereof.
2. Consent.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the Assignment or this Landlord Consent, Landlord agrees that the rights under Sections 9.8, 31.14 and 40 of the Lease may be and have been assigned in full from Assignor to Assignee and shall hereafter be exercisable by Assignee in accordance with their terms.
3. Subsequent Assignment or Sublet. Landlord's consent to the foregoing Assignment shall not be construed as a waiver of Landlord's right to consent to any subletting by Assignee or to any assignment by Assignee of its rights, title, interest and obligations under the Lease, or as a consent to any portion of the Premises being used or occupied by any other party, except as expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of the Lease.
4. Leasing Cost Payment. In consideration of Landlord's consent to the Assignment, on or before the date that is three (3) business days after the Execution Date, Assignor shall pay to Landlord the amount of Eight Hundred Ninety Three Thousand Six Hundred Eighty Seven Dollars ($893,687) which is the net of Two Million Two Hundred Seventy Two Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty Seven Dollars ($2,272,937) (the "Leasing Cost Payment"), which Leasing Cost Payment is the sum of (a) one-half (1/2) of the total leasing commissions due to Assignor's and Assignee's brokers (the "Brokers") in connection with the Assignment, in the amount of Three Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Six Hundred Thirty Six Dollars ($375,636) plus (b) a portion of the tenant improvement allowance to be paid by Landlord to Assignee pursuant to a separate amendment to the Lease to be entered into by and between Landlord and Assignee concurrently herewith (the "Lease Assignment"), in the amount of One Million Eight Hundred Ninety Seven Thousand Three Hundred One Dollars ($1,897,301), minus One Million Three Hundred Seventy Nine Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($1,379,250) which reflects Landlord's retention of Assignor's Security Deposit under the Lease. With respect to the leasing commissions due to the Brokers, Landlord shall pay the Brokers all commissions due under Assignor's exclusive listing agreement with Cushman and Wakefield and all commissions due to CBRE and Landlord shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Assignor and Assignee from any and all claims and liabilities arising from (i) Assignor's exclusive listing agreement with Cushman and Wakefield or (ii) CBRE, whether arising out of Landlord's or Assignee's brokerage agreement with CBRE.
5. Confidentiality. Neither Assignor nor Assignee shall reveal the contents of the Assignment, except (a) as required by Applicable Laws or legal process or to enforce the Party's obligations under the Assignment, or (b) to each Party's affiliates, attorneys, accountants, auditors, employees, principals, investors, partners, taxing authorities or agents or bona fide prospective purchasers, assignees or subtenants, provided that any such disclosure shall be on a need to know basis, as reasonably determined by the applicable Party, and subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Section, and further, provided that Assignee shall be entitled to make any disclosure of the Assignment that Assignee, in its good faith judgment, believes is required by Applicable Law or by any stock exchange on which its securities or those of its affiliates are listed.
6. Brokerage Commission.
