Except as expressly set forth herein, Landlord has no obligation to make or pay for improvements or alterations to the Existing Premises or the Second Expansion Premises, and Tenant accepts the Existing Premises and the Second Expansion Premises in their current “as is” condition as of the date of this Amendment. At the request of Landlord, the parties will evidence the Expansion Date, Second Expansion Date, and such other matters set forth therein in an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, which agreement will contain a revised Base Rent schedule for the Premises and shall replace Exhibit B to the Third Amendment. C. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the cost of improvements to be made by Tenant to the Second Expansion Premises (the “Second Expansion Improvements”) up to a maximum amount of $253,710.00 (or $30.00 per square foot of rentable space in the Second Expansion Premises) (the “Second Expansion Allowance”). The Second Expansion Allowance shall be used to pay for expenditures related to the Second Expansion Improvements including but not limited to costs of all labor, materials, permits, fees, contractors and subcontractors’ charges, and, pursuant to Section 10 of the Lease, payment of Landlord’s supervisory fee in an amount equal to $95.00 per hour or, if the Second Expansion Improvements are not constructed by Landlord’s employees, 3% of project costs of the Improvements, plus any out of pocket engineering and architectural review costs. All costs of the Second Expansion Improvements in excess of the Allowance shall be at Tenant’s expense. Tenant is responsible for and shall pay all costs and expenses of the Second Expansion Improvements that are not allowable as expenditures from the Second Expansion Allowance as such amounts become due and payable. Promptly following completion of the Second Expansion Improvements, Tenant will deliver to Landlord a request for payment of the Second Expansion Allowance, accompanied by all of the following in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord: (a) a copy of the contract with Tenant’s general contractor which includes a plan or scope of work to be performed; (b) duly executed unconditional lien waivers and such other affidavits, certificates, information, and data as may be reasonably requested by Landlord from all general contractors, subcontractors and materialmen performing work on the Premises; (c) an itemized computation of the actual total costs incurred by Tenant (“Actual Costs”) and paid invoices evidencing payment of the Actual Costs; (d) final as-built plans and specifications for the Second Expansion Improvements; and (e) such other information and documentation as Landlord or Landlord’s lender may reasonably request to evidence the proper, lien-free completion of the Second Expansion Improvements. Unless Landlord reasonably disputes in writing Tenant’s assertion that the Second Expansion Improvements have been completed in accordance with the provisions of the Lease as herein amended, within 30 days after Landlord’s receipt, review and reasonable approval of all of the foregoing, Landlord will pay to Tenant the amount of the Actual Costs of the Second Expansion Improvements, up to the maximum amount of the Second Expansion Allowance. In no event will Landlord have any obligation to reimburse Tenant for any costs of the Second Expansion Improvements in excess of the Second Expansion Allowance. Unless otherwise agreed by Landlord and Tenant in writing, if any portion of the Second Expansion Allowance has not been requested by Tenant on or before the date that is 24 full calendar months from the date of this Amendment, such amount will be forfeited by Tenant to Landlord. The Second Expansion Improvements shall be performed as alterations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease, including without limitation Section 10 of the Lease. In addition to the Second Expansion Allowance, if requested in writing by Tenant, Landlord shall pay the cost of the initial space plan for the Second Expansion Improvements and shall pay for one revision to the space plan. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in addition to the Allowance as provided in the Third Amendment, Tenant may use all or any portion of the Second Expansion Allowance toward the costs of the Improvements being made to the Expansion Premises and/or to the Existing Premises. D. In addition to Tenant’s parking rights for the Existing Premises and the Expansion Premises, Tenant shall have the right to use 27 additional parking spaces in the parking areas for the 1841 Building, based on a parking ratio of 3.21 spaces/1,000 rentable square feet leased.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 52C2FA99-DC5E-428D-9D35-D6F15C18546B E. Tenant acknowledges that the Second Expansion Premises is currently occupied by another tenant (“Existing Tenant”). Therefore, the effectiveness of this Amendment is conditioned upon Landlord entering into a lease amendment with Existing Tenant pursuant to which Existing Tenant agrees to vacate and surrender the Second Expansion Premises to Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Second Expansion Premises to Tenant due to Existing Tenant’s delay in vacating and surrendering the Second Expansion Premises, and Tenant’s sole remedy for such delay shall be the delay of the Second Expansion Date until the Existing Tenant has vacated and surrendered the Expansion Premises to Landlord. 2. Commencing on the Second Expansion Date, in addition to Base Rent for the Existing Premises, Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the Second Expansion Premises in the manner provided in the Lease in accordance with the following schedule: Period Annual PSF Monthly Base Rent* Second Expansion Date through Month 12 after $12.00 $8,457.00 Expansion Date Month 13 through Month 24 $12.50 $8,809.38 Month 25 through Month 36 $13.00 $9,161.75 Month 37 through Month 48 $13.50 $9,514.13 Month 49 through Month 60 $14.00 $9,866.50 Month 61 through Month 72 $14.50 $10,218.88 Month 73 through Month 90 $15.00 $10,571.25 *Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant may abate the payment of Base Rent (but not any other charges payable by Tenant pursuant to the Lease) for the first 3 months following the Second Expansion Date (the “Second Abated Rent Period”). Rents payable hereunder are allocable to, and will be accrued by the parties during, their fiscal periods in which the same is actually paid. No portion of the Rent paid by Tenant during periods after the expiration of the Second Abated Rent Period will be allocated to such Second Abated Rent Period, nor is such Rent intended to be allocable to the Second Abated Rent Period. If at any time during the Term, an event of default by Tenant occurs, Tenant owes Landlord, in addition to all other amounts, the unamortized portion of the Rent abated hereunder, such amortization to be on a straight-line basis over the period commencing on the Second Expansion Date and continuing through the New Expiration Date. Tenant has no obligation to pay the abated amounts if no event of default by Tenant occurs prior to the expiration of the Term. 3. In addition to Base Rent for the Premises, Tenant shall be obligated to pay all other charges payable by Tenant for the Premises (inclusive of the Existing Premises and the Second Expansion Premises), including without limitation utilities and Tenant’s Share of all Operating Costs, Taxes, insurance, and other sums payable by Tenant in accordance with the Lease for both the 1851 Building and the 1841 Building; provided, Tenant’s Share for the 1841 Building shall be adjusted as of the Expansion Date and the Second Expansion Date based on the rentable square footage in the 1841 Building. 4. The Expansion Space Allowance (as defined in the Third Amendment) is hereby amended to be $634,290.00 which consists of $30.00 per square foot of rentable space in the Expansion Premises. The Existing Premises Allowance (as defined in the Third Amendment) is hereby amended to be $142,732.00 which is $8.50 per square foot of rentable space in the Existing Premises. 5.

The Additional Allowance is based on the actual number of months of increased Base Rent for the Existing Premises, and if the Expansion Date (as defined in the Third Amendment) does not occur on or before February 1, 2021, then the Additional Allowance is subject to proportionate reduction. Unless otherwise agreed by Landlord and Tenant in writing, if any portion of the Allowance has not been requested by Tenant on or before July 1, 2022, such amount will be forfeited by Tenant to Landlord. 6. Section 4 of the Third Amendment is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following in lieu thereof: Commencing on the Expansion Date, in addition to Base Rent for the Existing Premises and the Second Expansion Premises, Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the Expansion Premises pursuant to the terms of the Lease, in accordance with the following schedule: Period Annual PSF Monthly Base Rent* Expansion Date through Month 12 $12.00 $21,143.00 Month 13 through Month 24 $12.50 $22,023.96 Month 25 through Month 36 $13.00 $22,904.92 Month 37 through Month 48 $13.50 $23,785.88 Month 49 through Month 60 $14.00 $24,666.83 Month 61 through Month 72 $14.50 $25,547.79 Month 73 through Month 90 $15.00 $26,428.75 *Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant may abate the payment of Base Rent (but not any other charges payable by Tenant pursuant to the Lease) for the first 6 months following the Expansion Date (as defined in the Third Amendment) (the “First Abated Rent Period”).
