(EXPANSION)

This Second Amendment to Lease (the "Agreement") is entered into as of June 16, 2022 (“Effective Date”), by and between WESTPORT OFFICE PARK, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (formerly a California limited liability company) ("Landlord"), and ADICET THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant"), with respect to the following facts and circumstances:

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given those terms in the Original Lease. Effective as of the date hereof, all references to the "Lease" shall refer to the Original Lease, as amended by this Agreement.

Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Original Lease to add additional space on the terms and conditions provided herein.

IT IS, THEREFORE, agreed as follows:

1.
As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:

"Expansion Space" means a portion of the second floor of the building located at 1200 Bridge Parkway, Redwood City, California 94065 within the Project ("1200 Building" and collectively with the 1000 Building, the "Buildings"), commonly known as Suite 201 containing approximately 12,204 rentable square feet of area, and more particularly shown on Exhibit"A‑1" attached hereto.

"Expansion Space Commencement Date" shall mean the earliest of (a) the date upon which Tenant first commences to conduct business in the Expansion Space, or (b) fourteen (14) days after Landlord delivers the Expansion Premises to Tenant pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement.

2.
Effective on the Expansion Space Commencement Date, the Premises shall be expanded to include the Expansion Space. Accordingly, effective on the Expansion Space Commencement Date, Landlord leases the Expansion Space to Tenant and Tenant leases the Expansion Space from Landlord, and the following terms of the Original Lease are amended as follows:
2.1
The Expansion Space is added to the Premises such that the Premises shall be comprised of the Existing Premises and the Expansion Space, and Exhibit "A-1" attached hereto is hereby added to Exhibit "A" to the Original Lease.
2.2
For purposes of applying the terms of the Lease to the Expansion Space, references to the "Building" shall be deemed references to the “1000 Building,” the "1200 Building," or the "Buildings" where the context so requires.
2.3
The Maximum Parking Allocation with respect to the Expansion Space shall be twenty seven (27), which is based on a parking ratio of 2.25 non-exclusive parking spaces per one thousand (1,000) square feet of the rentable space in the Expansion Space.
2.4
During the Expansion Space Term (as defined below), and subject to Applicable Laws, the Expansion Space shall be used and occupied by Tenant solely for general office and administrative purposes consistent with a first-class office building and for no other purposes without the prior written consent of Landlord.
2.5
Building standard signage will be installed by Landlord on (i) the 1200 Building’s main lobby directory board, (ii) Tenant's main entry doors to the Expansion Space, and (iii) the monument serving the 1200 Building, at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

Tenant's Building Percentage of Operating Expenses and Tenant's Tax Percentage shall be determined separately for the Existing Premises and the Expansion Space. Tenant shall be required to pay Tenant's Building Percentage of Operating Expenses and Tenant's Tax Percentage for the Expansion Space during the Expansion Space Term. With respect to the Existing Premises, Tenant's Building Percentage shall mean Tenant's percentage of the entire 1000 Building as determined by dividing the rentable area of the Existing Premises by the total rentable area of the 1000 Building, and Tenant's Tax Percentage shall mean the percentage determined by dividing the rentable area of the Existing Premises by the total rentable area of all buildings in the Project.

Building were in good and satisfactory condition at the time possession was taken by Tenant, except for “latent defects” (as defined in Section 2.3 of the Lease). Neither Landlord nor Landlord's agents have made any representations or promises with respect to the condition of the 1200 Building, the Expansion Space, the land upon which the Buildings are constructed, the present or future suitability or fitness of the Expansion Space or the 1200 Building for the conduct of Tenant's particular business, or any other matter or thing affecting or related to the Buildings or the Expansion Space, and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Lease. Any improvements or personal property located in the Expansion Space are delivered without any representation or warranty from Landlord, either express or implied, of any kind, including without limitation, title, merchantability, or suitability for a particular purpose. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Landlord warrants that the roof of the 1200 Building, the parking lots serving the Expansion Space, and the base building systems (including, without limitation, the HVAC, mechanical, electrical, life safety, and plumbing systems), elevator, or site lighting serving the Expansion Space (collectively, the “Covered Items”), other than those constructed by Tenant, shall be in good operating condition on the Expansion Space Commencement Date. If a non-compliance with such warranty exists as of the Expansion Space Commencement Date, or if one of such Covered Items should malfunction or fail within sixty (60) days after such date, Landlord shall, as Landlord’s sole obligation with respect to such matter, promptly after receipt of written notice from Tenant setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and extent of such non-compliance, malfunction or failure, rectify the same at Landlord’s expense. If Tenant does not give Landlord the required notice within such sixty (60) day period, Landlord shall have no obligation with respect to that warranty other than obligations regarding the Covered Items set forth elsewhere in the Lease. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord any modifications to Tenant's insurance required under the Original Lease to reflect the addition of the Expansion Space and Tenant's entry into the Expansion Space prior to the delivery of possession to Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or otherwise be in default hereunder in the event that Landlord is unable to deliver the Expansion Space to Tenant on the projected delivery date thereof due to the failure of any other tenant to timely vacate and surrender to Landlord such Expansion Space, or any portion thereof; provided, however, Landlord agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights to possession of such Expansion Space against such other tenant.
4.
Subject to the terms hereof and provided that Tenant and its agents do not materially interfere with, or delay, work by Landlord in the Buildings, at Landlord's reasonable discretion, Landlord shall allow Tenant access to the Expansion Space fourteen (14) days prior to the Expansion Space Commencement Date for the purpose of Tenant installing equipment or fixtures, cabling and furniture in the Expansion Space. Prior to Tenant's entry into the Expansion Space as permitted by the terms of this Section 4, Tenant shall submit a schedule to Landlord, for its approval in its reasonable discretion, which schedule shall detail the timing and purpose of Tenant's entry. In connection with any such entry, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees shall reasonably cooperate, work in harmony and not materially interfere with Landlord or Landlord's contractors, agents or

representatives in performing work in the 1200 Building, or interfere with the general operation of the Buildings or the Project. If at any time any such person representing Tenant shall not be cooperative or shall otherwise cause or threaten to cause any such disharmony or interference, including, without limitation, labor disharmony, and Tenant fails to immediately institute and maintain corrective actions as directed by Landlord, then Landlord may revoke Tenant's early entry rights upon twenty-four (24) hours' prior written notice to Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any such entry into and occupancy of the Expansion Space or any portion thereof by Tenant or any person or entity working for or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be subject to all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease, excluding only the covenant to pay Rent (until the occurrence of the Expansion Space Commencement Date). Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenant's work made in or about the Expansion Space in connection with such entry or to any property placed therein prior to the Expansion Space Commencement Date, the same being at Tenant's sole risk and liability (except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents or contractors). Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any damage to any portion of the Expansion Space caused by Tenant or any of Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees. In the event that the performance of Tenant's work in connection with such entry causes extra costs to be incurred by Landlord or requires the use of any Building services, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for such extra costs and/or shall pay Landlord for such Building services at Landlord's standard rates then in effect. In addition, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and indemnify, protect and defend Landlord against any loss or damage to the Buildings or Expansion Space and against injury to any persons caused by Tenant's actions pursuant to this Section 4.
5.
Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that it has dealt with no broker, finder or similar person in connection with this Agreement, and Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that it has dealt with no broker, finder or similar person in connection with this Agreement, other than Cushman & Wakefield and CBRE (collectively, "Landlord's Broker") and CBRE ("Tenant's Broker"). Landlord and Tenant shall each defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless with respect to all claims, causes of action, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the indemnifying party's dealings with any real estate broker, agent, finder or similar person other than Landlord's Broker and Tenant's Broker. The commission with respect to this Agreement shall be paid to Landlord's Broker by Landlord pursuant to a separate agreement. Landlord's Broker will pay Tenant's Broker a commission pursuant to a separate agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall impose any obligation on Landlord to pay a commission or fee to any party other than Landlord's Broker.
6.
As additional consideration for this Agreement, Tenant hereby certifies that:

TENANT WORK LETTER

This Tenant Work Letter is attached to and made a part of that certain Second Amendment to Lease dated June 16, 2022 (the "Amendment") between WESTPORT OFFICE PARK, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (formerly a California limited liability company) ("Landlord"), and ADICET THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant"), which amends a lease between Landlord and Tenant (as modified from time to time, the "Lease") more particularly described in the Amendment. Any capitalized term used and not otherwise defined in this Tenant Work Letter has the meaning given such term in the Amendment (or, if not defined in the Amendment, the meaning given such term in the Lease). This Tenant Work Letter sets forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of the Expansion Improvements in the Expansion Space. This Tenant Work Letter is essentially organized chronologically and addresses the issues of the construction of the Expansion Space, in sequence, as such issues will arise during the actual construction of the Expansion Space.

SECTION 1

BASE, SHELL AND CORE

Landlord has previously constructed the base, shell, and core (i) of the Expansion Space and (ii) of the floor(s) of the 1200 Building on which the Expansion Space are located (collectively, the "Base, Shell, and Core"), and subject to correction of latent defects (as defined in Section 2.3 of the Lease) subsequently discovered, Tenant shall accept the Base, Shell and Core and the Expansion Space in their current "As-Is" condition existing as of the date of the Amendment and the Expansion Space Commencement Date, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Lease and this Tenant Work Letter. Tenant shall install in the Expansion Space certain "Tenant Improvements" (as defined below) pursuant to the provisions of this Tenant Work Letter. Except for Landlord's obligation to disburse the Tenant Improvement Allowance as described below, Landlord shall not be obligated to make or pay for any alterations or improvements to the Expansion Space, the 1200 Building or the Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord covenants to correct, at its sole cost and not as an Operating Expense payable by Tenant, any failure of the existing exterior path of travel for the Expansion Space to comply with current codes, including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act, as reasonably interpreted by Landlord's architect as of the date of the Lease, to the extent such correction is reasonably necessary in order to obtain a building permit or a certificate of occupancy for the Tenant Improvements in the Expansion Space; provided that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit Landlord from obtaining a variance or relying upon a grandfathered right in order to achieve compliance with those codes.

Landlord with cash in an amount (the "Over-Allowance Amount") by which the Final Costs exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance (less any portion thereof already disbursed by Landlord, or in the process of being disbursed by Landlord, on or before the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements). The Over-Allowance Amount shall be disbursed by Landlord prior to the disbursement of any of the then remaining portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, and such disbursement shall be pursuant to the same procedure as the Tenant Improvement Allowance. In the event that, after the Final Costs have been delivered by Landlord to Tenant, the costs relating to the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements shall change, any additional costs necessary to such design and construction in excess of the Final Costs shall, to the extent they exceed the remaining balance of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, be paid by Tenant to Landlord immediately as an addition to the Over-Allowance Amount and, in any event, prior to the commencement of the construction of such changes, or, at Landlord's option, Tenant shall make payments for such additional costs out of its own funds, but Tenant shall continue to provide Landlord with the documents described in Sections 2.2.2.1(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, for Landlord's approval, prior to Tenant paying such costs.

ACTIVE ###-###-####.1

 


 

related in any way to any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant's Agents, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or in connection with Tenant's non-payment of any amount arising out of the Tenant Improvements and/or Tenant's disapproval of all or any portion of any request for payment. Such indemnity by Tenant, as set forth in the Lease, shall also apply with respect to any and all costs, losses, damages, injuries and liabilities related in any way to Landlord's performance of any ministerial acts reasonably necessary (i) to permit Tenant to complete the Tenant Improvements, and (ii) to enable Tenant to obtain any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Expansion Space.

4.2.2.4 Insurance Requirements.

4.2.2.4.1 General Coverages. All of Tenant's Agents shall carry worker's compensation insurance covering all of their respective employees, and shall also carry public liability insurance, including property damage, all with limits, in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant as set forth in the Lease.

4.2.2.4.2 Special Coverages. Tenant shall carry "Builder's All Risk" insurance in an amount covering the full replacement cost of all work in connection with the Tenant Improvements, and such other insurance as Landlord may require, it being understood and agreed that the Tenant Improvements shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to the Lease immediately upon completion thereof. Such insurance shall be in amounts and shall include such extended coverage endorsements as may be reasonably required by Landlord, and in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant as set forth in the Lease.

4.2.2.4.3 General Terms. Certificates for all insurance carried pursuant to this Section 4.2.2.4 shall be delivered to Landlord before the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements and before the Contractor's equipment is moved onto the site. All such policies of insurance must contain a provision that the company writing said policy will give Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation or lapse of the effective date or any reduction in the amounts of such insurance; notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord acknowledges that, as of the date of this Lease, many insurers are unwilling to provide third parties (such as Landlord) with notice of cancellation and agrees that if the insured is unable to obtain such commitment from its insurer (despite the insured’s commercially reasonable efforts), then the insured's obligation pursuant to the provisions of this sentence will be to notify Landlord within five (5) days following the insured's receipt of any notice of cancellation from the insurer. In the event that the Tenant Improvements are damaged by any cause during the course of the construction thereof, Tenant shall immediately repair the same at Tenant's sole cost and expense. All policies carried under this Section 4.2.2.4 shall insure Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may appear, as well as Contractor and Tenant's Agents, and shall name as additional insureds Landlord's Property Manager, Landlord's Asset Manager, and all mortgagees and ground lessors of the 1200 Building. All insurance, except Workers' Compensation, maintained by Tenant's Agents shall preclude subrogation claims by the insurer against anyone insured thereunder. Such insurance shall provide that it is primary insurance as respects the owner and that any other insurance maintained by owner is excess and noncontributing with the insurance required hereunder. The requirements for the foregoing insurance shall not derogate from the provisions for indemnification of Landlord by Tenant under Section 4.2.2.3 of this Tenant Work Letter.

4.2.4 Inspection by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Tenant Improvements at all times, provided however, that Landlord's failure to inspect the Tenant Improvements shall in no event constitute a waiver of any of Landlord's rights hereunder nor shall Landlord's inspection of the Tenant Improvements constitute Landlord's approval of the same. Should Landlord disapprove any portion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such disapproval and shall specify the items disapproved, provided Landlord shall only disapprove work which is substandard as described in Section 2.2.2.2(ii) or due to non-compliance of any work with the Approved Working Drawings. Any defects or deviations in, and/or disapproval by Landlord of, the Tenant Improvements shall be rectified by Tenant at no expense to Landlord, provided however, that in the event Landlord determines that a defect or deviation exists or disapproves of any matter in connection with any portion of the Tenant Improvements and such defect, deviation or matter might adversely affect the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning or life-safety systems of the 1200 Building, the structure or exterior appearance of the 1200 Building or any other tenant's use of such other tenant's leased premises, Landlord may, take such action as Landlord deems necessary, at Tenant's expense and without incurring any liability on Landlord's part, to correct any such defect, deviation and/or matter, including, without limitation, causing the cessation of performance of the construction of the Tenant Improvements until such time as the defect, deviation and/or matter is corrected to Landlord's satisfaction.

4.2.5 Meetings. Commencing upon the execution of the Amendment, Tenant shall hold weekly meetings at a reasonable time, with the Architect and the Contractor regarding the progress of the preparation of Construction Drawings and the construction of the Tenant Improvements, which meetings shall be held at a location designated by Landlord (unless such meetings are held by telephone or videoconference), and Landlord and/or its agents shall receive prior notice of, and shall have the right to attend, all such meetings, and, upon Landlord's request, certain of Tenant's Agents shall attend such meetings. In addition, minutes shall be taken at all such meetings, a copy of which minutes shall be promptly delivered to Landlord. One such meeting each month shall include the review of Contractor's current request for payment.
