Amendment No. 1 to Network Drive at Northwest Park Office Lease, dated as of December 3, 2018 between Avid Technology Inc. and Network Drive Owner LLC (for premises at 65 Network Drive, Burlington, Massachusetts)

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE (this “Amendment”) is dated as of December 3, 2018 (the “Effective Date”) and made between NETWORK DRIVE OWNER LLC (“Landlord”) and AVID TECHNOLOGY, INC. (“Tenant”).

A.Landlord’s predecessor-in-interest, Netview 5 and 6 LLC and Tenant entered into a lease dated November 20, 2009 (the “Lease”) for approximately 72,953 rentable square feet in the aggregate on portions of the first floor A Wing and B Wing, and the entire second floor (the “Premises”) in the building at 65 Network Drive, Burlington, Massachusetts (the “Building”).

B.Tenant desires to relinquish, and Landlord has agreed to take back, a portion of the Premises consisting of (i) approximately 2,260 rentable square feet of floor area on the first floor A Wing and (ii) the entire second floor being approximately 46,668 rentable square feet, both as depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the “Surrendered Premises”).

C.Landlord and Tenant now desire to amend the Lease to commemorate the relinquishment of the Surrendered Premises and to make certain other related changes to the Lease, all as set forth herein below.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

1.The background recitals set forth above are incorporated into and made a part of this Amendment. All undefined capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning given to such terms in the Lease.

2.Tenant and Landlord agree that, on or prior to the Effective Date, Tenant has vacated and surrendered the Surrendered Premises in accordance with the applicable terms of the Lease, including all requirements of Section 6.1.9 of the Lease and this Amendment, and Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant has complied with all yield up and surrender obligations under the Lease, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 6.1.9 and Paragraphs 10 and 11 of this Amendment. Effective as of the Effective Date, (a) the Lease shall terminate in part solely with respect to the Surrendered Premises, (b) neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any thereafter accruing liability or obligation with respect to the Surrendered Premises, except for those provisions of the Lease that expressly survive termination, and (c) the Premises under the Lease shall be reduced to approximately 24,025 rentable square feet on portions of the first floor A and B Wings of the Building, substantially as shown on Exhibit B attached hereto. The portion of the Premises remaining after such surrender is referred to as the “Remaining Premises,” and shall be deemed to be the “Premises” for all purposes under the Lease from and after the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, effective as of the Effective Date, the Connector Bridge shall no longer be a part of the Remaining Premises and shall not be considered Campus Common Area nor Building Common Area under the Lease.

3.Commencing on the day following the Effective Date (the “Rent Adjustment Date”), Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent in the reduced amounts set forth in Paragraphs 5 and 6 below.

4.Tenant shall be entitled to a refund of the Fixed Rent and all Additional Rent, including Operating Costs Excess and Tax Excess, paid by Tenant with respect to the Surrendered Premises from September 1, 2018 through the Effective Date, exclusive of all Utilities Charges for electricity and chilled water under Section 4.2.5 of the Lease, which refund shall be applied to offset any outstanding charges and the Monthly Fixed Rent due under the Lease for the following month(s). All monetary obligations relating to the Surrendered Premises shall be prorated through the Effective Date. If the amount of Operating Costs Excess or Tax Excess or of any other monetary obligation solely attributable to the Surrendered Premises has not been determined by the Effective Date, final adjustment shall be made when the amount thereof is determined and such amount, excluding Utilities Charges, shall be included in the rent refund provided for in this Paragraph 4.

5.From and after the Rent Adjustment Date, the schedule of the Annual Fixed Rent set forth in Section 1.1 of the Lease shall have no further applicability and Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent for the Remaining Premises annually in the amount set forth below, which are inclusive of Tenant’s share of the Connector Bridge amortization costs:

6.From and after the Rent Adjustment Date, the schedule of Monthly Fixed Rent set forth in Section 1.1 of the Lease shall have no further applicability and Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent for the Remaining Premises monthly in the amount set forth below, which are inclusive of Tenant’s share of the Connector Bridge amortization costs:

7.As of the Rent Adjustment Date, Tenant’s Percentage specified in Section 1.1 of the Lease shall be reduced to 13.45%.

8.Section 2.3 of the Lease and Section 2.5 of the Lease are hereby deleted in their entirety and of no further force or effect. The third paragraph of Section 2.1 relating to parking is hereby deleted and the following shall be substituted in its place: “Tenant shall be permitted, on an unreserved first-come first served basis, to use up to 3.6 spaces per 1000 rentable square feet of the Premises in the parking area serving the Building, or in a parking area reasonably proximate to the Building.”

9.Provided that as of the date of the notice specified below, and as of the commencement of the Extended Term (defined below), (a) Tenant is not in default and has not previously been in default of its monetary obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable grace period more than two times during the Original Term, and (b) Tenant has not subleased 20% or more of the sum total of (i) the rentable square footage of the Premises plus (ii) the rentable square footage of Tenant’s premises at 75 Network Drive leased pursuant to that certain Office Lease dated November 20, 2009 between Landlord and Tenant, both at the time of Tenant’s notice to Landlord exercising this option and as of the beginning of the Extended Term, Tenant shall have the right to extend the term of the Lease, exclusive of the Surrendered Premises, for one additional year, to begin immediately upon the expiration of the Original Term of the Lease (the “Extended Term”). All of the terms, covenants and provisions of the Lease shall apply to such Extended Term except that the Annual Fixed Rent Rate for the Extended Term, inclusive of Tenant’s share of the annual amortization costs of the Connector Bridge, shall be $843,828.72, and the Monthly Fixed Rent Rate, inclusive of the

monthly installments of the Connector Bridge amortization costs, shall be $70,319.06. If Tenant shall elect to exercise the aforesaid option, it shall do so by giving Landlord notice in writing, not later than one (1) year prior to the expiration of the Original Term of the Lease, time being of the essence thereof. If Tenant timely gives such notice, the extension of the Lease shall be automatically effected without the execution of any additional documents. The Original Term and the Extended Term shall be referred to as the “term” or “Term” under the Lease. This extension option is personal to Avid Technology, Inc., and may not be assigned under any circumstance, except as permitted under the second full paragraph of Section 6.2.1 of the Lease.

10.Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant is leaving certain office and work station furniture in the Surrendered Premises as listed on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof (collectively, the “Surrendered Furniture”). Landlord acknowledges and agrees it has inspected the Surrendered Furniture prior to the Effective Date and shall accept the Surrendered Furniture “as-is,” in the condition the Surrendered Furniture was in as of the date of Landlord’s inspection, without any representations or warranties or obligations on the part of Tenant. Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any cabling and wiring from the Surrendered Premises that is connected to the Surrendered Furniture. All other cabling and wiring that is connected from the Surrendered Premises to the Remaining Premises shall be disconnected and removed by Tenant, at its sole expense, on or before the Effective Date.

11.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.1.9 of the Lease, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease with respect to the Remaining Premises, Tenant’s sole yield up and surrender obligations shall be as specified in Exhibit F attached hereto and incorporated as if fully set forth herein.

12.Tenant agrees to execute and deliver an amended notice of lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, which Landlord shall record following the full execution and delivery of this Amendment. Further, Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver a notice of termination of lease, in Tenant’s name, upon Tenant’s execution of this Amendment, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, which Landlord shall hold in escrow until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

13.As of the Effective Date, on account of Tenant’s relinquishment of the second floor portion of the Surrendered Premises, the Connector Bridge between the Building and the adjacent building at 75 Network Drive shall no longer be accessible by Tenant and may be utilized by another tenant of the Building to access that tenant’s premises. Accordingly, effective as of the Effective Date, the paragraph defining “Operating Costs” under Section 4.2.3 of the Lease shall be amended as follows: the last sentence thereof requiring Tenant to pay 100% of the charges for electricity and chilled water to the Connector Bridge shall be deleted and of no further force or effect. Section 5.9 of the Lease governing Landlord’s indemnification of Tenant is hereby amended by deleting the phrase “(excluding the Connector Bridge).” Section 6.1.5 of the Lease governing Tenant’s indemnification of Landlord is hereby amended by deleting the phrase “(including the Connector Bridge).”

A.Landlord hereby advises that one of the entities affiliated with Landlord is a collective investment fund (the “Fund”) which holds the assets of one or more employee benefit plans or retirement arrangements which are subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and/or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (each a “Plan”), and with respect to which JPMorgan Chase Bank (“JPMCB”) is the Trustee and that, as a result, Landlord may be prohibited by law from engaging in certain transactions.

B.Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the Effective Date, the only Plan whose assets are invested in the Fund which, together with the interests of any other Plans maintained by the same employer or employee organization, represent a collective interest in the Fund in excess of ten percent (10%) of the total interests in the Fund (each, a “10% Plan”) is “Strategic Property Fund” (collectively, the “Existing 10% Plan”).

C.Tenant represents and warrants that as of the Effective Date, and at all times while it is a Tenant under this Lease, one of the following statements is, and will continue to be, true: (1) Tenant is not a “party in interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code) (each a “Party in Interest”) with respect to the Existing 10% Plan or, (2) if Tenant is a Party in Interest, that: (A) neither Tenant nor its “affiliate” (as defined in Section V(c) of PTCE 84-14, “Affiliate”) has, or during the immediately preceding one (1) year has, exercised the authority to either: (i) appoint or terminate JPMCB as the qualified professional asset manager (as defined in Section V(a) of PTCE 84-14, “QPAM”) of any of the assets of the Existing 10% Plan with respect to which Tenant or its Affiliate is a Party in Interest; or (ii) negotiate the terms of the management agreement with JPMCB, including renewals or modifications thereof, on behalf of the Existing 10% Plan; and (B) neither Tenant nor any entity controlling, or controlled by, Tenant owns a five percent (5%) or more interest (within the meaning of PTCE 84-14, “5% Interest”) in J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.

D.In the event that Landlord or the Fund notifies Tenant in writing that a Plan other than the Existing 10% Plan may become a 10% Plan, Tenant will, within 10 days of such notification, inform the Fund in writing as to whether it can make the same representations which it made in subparagraph C of this Section 10.12 with respect to such prospective 10% Plan. Thereafter, if based on such representations made by Tenant such Plan becomes a 10% Plan, Tenant represents and warrants that, at all times during the period Tenant is a tenant under this Lease, one of the statements set forth in subparagraph C of this Section 10.12 will be true with respect to such 10% Plan.

15.Tenant represents, warrants, and covenants that neither Tenant nor any of its officers, directors, or, to Tenant’s actual knowledge as of the Effective Date, any material equity holders (i) is listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the Office of Foreign Asset Control, Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) pursuant to Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed.
