Landlord may, but shall not be so obligated, discharge or in any manner compromise or adjust the payments or obligations involved or any part thereof, and in the case of any sale or sales to enforce the same, Landlord may seek and effect any
redemption therefrom as Landlord may deem fit, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand therefor by Landlord, the full amount so paid and expended by Landlord, including all costs and expenses paid or incurred, which shall include reasonable
attorney’s fees, together with interest at the highest rate permitted in the State of California from the date of payment by Landlord until paid by Tenant.

public authority under the power of eminent domain, and if the portion of such land or Building remaining after such taking shall not constitute sufficient space for the maintenance and operation of Tenant’s business in an economically feasible
and profitable manner, as determined by Tenant, then the Term shall cease as of the date possession is delivered by Tenant, and Tenant shall pay Rent up to that date with an appropriate refund by Landlord of such Rent as may have been paid in
advance for a period subsequent to the date of taking; provided, however, if Tenant, in its sole opinion, can use any part of the Building constituting a portion of the Leased Premises in an economically feasible and profitable manner, then the
Lease shall continue in effect as to that part of the Building, and the Rent shall be abated from the date of taking in proportion to the number of square feet so taken. In the case of taking of unused land but not of Building, such that Tenant, it

 ARTICLE XIV 

Default 

Section 1. Subject to the provisions of this Article XIV, this Lease is made upon the express condition that Tenant
shall faithfully and punctually perform and observe all the agreements, covenants and conditions herein set forth to be performed by Tenant, and that if at any time any Rent, taxes, assessments, charges, insurance premiums, utilities charges or any
other monies required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, or any part thereof, shall be in arrears and unpaid for a period of five (5) days after notice in writing thereof shall have been given by Landlord to Tenant, or if defaults shall be made or
suffered in the performance or observance of any of the other covenants or conditions of this Lease, and if Tenant fails to commence action to eliminate such default within thirty (30) days after notice in writing thereof shall have been given
by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right, at its election, to terminate this Lease or to enter upon the Leased Premises and take immediate possession thereof. If Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord may recover
from Tenant: (a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (b) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after
termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term after
the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom, and this Lease and the Building and all improvements upon the Leased Premises shall be forfeited to Landlord without compensation therefor
to Tenant, or any other person, firm or corporation whomsoever; provided, however, that Tenant may at any time before the expiration of such periods, pay and/or perform the engagements of this Lease for which Tenant shall be in default, and thereby
prevent such entry and forfeiture. As used herein, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. As used in (c) above, the “worth at the time of award” is
computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Such right to sue and the right to forfeit and reenter are cumulative and not exclusive of each other
or of any other lawful right or remedy that Landlord may have, and the fact that Landlord may have brought suit and recovered judgment for Rent or other sums in default hereunder shall not impair its right to cause forfeiture of this Lease and
reenter, upon the terms set forth herein, in case the default upon which any such suit was based shall continue unsatisfied for the period of time hereinabove stipulated for such forfeiture and entry. 

Section 2. Should any of the events of default hereinabove specified occur, in case Landlord does not elect to
exercise the right to terminate this Lease conferred by the provisions of Section 1 of this Article XIV, Landlord shall nevertheless have, and is hereby expressly given, the right at its sole election to reenter the Leased Premises with or
without legal process, and to remove and store for Tenant, Tenant’s signs and all property and effects of Tenant or other occupants of said premises, and to relet the premises or any part thereof at or near market rents and upon such terms and

fit to Landlord; and in case of such reletting, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the difference between the rents and payments herein reserved and agreed upon for the residue of the Term
(except as hereinafter otherwise provided) and the rent realized by Landlord by such reletting, such net rents and payments to be determined by deducting from the entire rents and payments received by Landlord from such reletting, the expenses of
recovering possession, reletting, repairing said premises, storing Tenant’s property, and collecting rents; and Tenant hereby agrees to pay to Landlord such deficiency each month, as the same may accrue. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten
(10) days after the expiration of each month during such residue of the Term the difference between the reserved rents and payments for said month, and the net amount realized by Landlord from the premises during said month from such reletting.
Landlord shall have the right at any time after such reentry and reletting, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Lease and thence forward there shall be no liability on the part of Tenant for any future accruing Rent or payments reserved under
this Lease. 
 Section 3. If, after the commencement of the Term, (a) Tenant shall be adjudicated as bankrupt
or adjudged to be insolvent; (b) a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for Tenant’s property and affairs; (c) Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall file a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for
reorganization or debtor’s arrangement or shall make application for the appointment of a receiver, or (d) any execution or attachment shall be issued against Tenant or any of Tenant’s property, whereby the Leased Premises or any
building or buildings or any improvements thereon shall be taken or occupied or attempted to be taken or occupied by someone other than Tenant, except as may be herein permitted, and such adjudication, appointment, assignment, petition, application,
execution or attachment shall not be set aside, vacated, discharged or bonded within thirty (30) days after the issuance of the same, then an event of default hereunder shall become effective, and Landlord shall have the rights and remedies
provided for herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, so long as the Rent shall continue to be paid hereunder, and Tenant shall perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions on its part to be performed, Landlord shall not have the right
to declare a default in this Lease. 
 Section 4. This Lease is also made upon the express condition that Landlord
shall faithfully and punctually perform and observe all the agreements, covenants and conditions set forth herein to be performed by Landlord. If any default shall be made or suffered in the performance or observance of any of the covenants or
conditions of this Lease to be performed by Landlord, and if Landlord fails to commence action to eliminate such default within thirty (30) days after notice in writing thereof shall have been given by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall have the
right, at its election, to (i) terminate this Lease and thence forward this Lease shall become void for all intents and purposes whatsoever subject, however, to the right of Tenant to sue on such Lease for damages sustained by reason of
Landlord’s default; or (ii) cure said default and offset the next succeeding months’ Base Rent by the cost of curing the same. Provided, however, that Landlord may at any time before the expiration of such period of thirty
(30) days, perform its obligations under this Lease for which Landlord shall be in default, and thereby prevent such termination of this Lease. Any rights of Tenant hereunder in the event of default by Landlord are cumulative and not exclusive
of each other or any other lawful right or remedy that Tenant may have, and the fact that Tenant may have brought suit and recovered judgment against Landlord shall not impair its right to cause termination of this Lease. 

  
 -13- 













 Section 5. If Landlord does not receive Rent or any other payment
within three (3) business days of when due from Tenant on the due date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such past due Rent or other payment; provided, however, Landlord agrees not to impose a late charge
for the first late payment in any calendar year of the Term provided Tenant pays such late payment within five (5) business days of written invoice. Tenant agrees that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost
Landlord will incur by reason of Tenant’s late payment. Accepting any late charge shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s default with respect to any overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or
remedies available to Landlord. If any installment of Monthly Base Rent or Additional Rent, or any other amount payable by Tenant hereunder is not received by Landlord within thirty (30) days after written invoice by Landlord, it shall bear
interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the due date until paid. 
 ARTICLE XV 

Surrender of Leased Premises 

Section 1. Upon the end of the Term, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Leased Premises, in good condition and
repair (depreciation, wear and tear excepted). Tenant shall, upon or before the end of the Term, remove from the Leased Premises all its property, including by way of illustration the furniture, fixtures, equipment and trade fixtures, and all
property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant. 
 Section 2. It is understood that all movable
furniture, fixtures, equipment and all trade fixtures of every kind, character and description, placed in or upon the Leased Premises or owned by Tenant shall remain the property of Tenant, and may be removed by Tenant at any time.

of the Leased Premises to determine whether Tenant has complied with its obligation to surrender the Leased Premises in accordance with Section 1 above. Landlord shall notify Tenant of any non-compliance
at said time or Landlord shall be estopped from attempting to charge Tenant for any repairs it deems the responsibility of Tenant at a later date. 

ARTICLE XVI 
 Holding
Over 
 If Tenant should remain in possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration of the Term, as renewed or extended, and
without executing a new lease, then such holding over shall be construed as a tenancy from month to month, subject to all the conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease insofar as the same are applicable to a
month-to-month tenancy, and Rent computed as One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of the monthly Base Rent paid during the last month of the term previously expired and
shall continue to apply to such extended tenancy.

Section 2. Landlord shall be responsible for compliance with all laws including but not limited to the requirements

 No requirement of this Lease shall be deemed waived or

 ARTICLE XXVII 

Subordination and Acknowledgements 

Section 1. At the option of the Landlord or the applicable mortgagee, chargee or trustee (as the case may be), this Lease shall be
subject and subordinate to any and all mortgages, charges and deeds of trust (and instruments supplemental thereto), which may now affect the Leased Premises. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any such mortgagee, chargee or trustee may
unilaterally postpone and subordinate its mortgage, charge or deed of trust to this Lease and any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof to the intent that this Lease and all right, title and interest of Tenant
in the Leased Premises shall be prior to the rights of such mortgagee, chargee or trustee as fully as if such Lease had been executed and registered before the registration of the mortgage, charge or deed of trust, as applicable. On request at any
time and from time to time of Landlord or of the mortgagee, chargee or trustee under any such mortgage, charge or deed of trust, Tenant shall promptly, at no cost to the Landlord or mortgagee, chargee or trustee, and provided said mortgagee, chargee
or trustee agrees to enter in a non-disturbance agreement with Tenant and agrees not to in any way disturb or modify Tenant’s rights under this Lease or Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Premises
under this Lease unless in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease: 
 (a) attorn to such mortgagee, chargee or trustee and
become its tenant of the Leased Premises or the tenant of the Leased Premises of any purchaser from such mortgagee, chargee or trustee in the event of an exercise of any permitted power of sale contained in any such mortgage, charge or deed of trust
for the then unexpired residue of the Term on the terms herein contained; and/or 
 (b) postpone and subordinate this Lease to such mortgage,
charge or deed of trust to the intent that this Lease and all right, title and interest of Tenant in the Leased Premises shall be subject to the rights of such mortgagee, chargee or trustee as fully as if such mortgage, charge or deed of trust had
been executed and registered and the money thereby secured had been advanced before the execution of this Lease (and notwithstanding any authority or consent of such mortgagee, or trustee, express or implied, to the making of this Lease). 

  
 -19- 













 Section 2. Tenant shall, within not more than twenty (20) days’ written
request therefor, execute and return to Landlord or its mortgagee as required by Landlord from time to time and without cost to Landlord or such mortgagee, a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect
(or if modified, stating the modifications and that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified), the amount of the annual Rent then being paid hereunder, the dates to which the same, by instalment or otherwise, and other charges hereunder
have been paid, whether or not there is any existing default on the part of Landlord of which Tenant has notice, and any other information reasonably required.

by Tenant or an employee, authorized agent or invitee of Tenant. 
 Section 3. Except for ordinary and general
office supplies, such as copier toner, liquid paper, glue, ink and common household cleaning materials, and motor vehicle fuel stored in fuel tanks of motor vehicles used on site in compliance with all environmental laws (some or all of which may

presence of Hazardous Materials on, in, under or about the Leased Premises or any portion thereof and which are caused or permitted by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties. The provisions of this Article 10 will survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. 
 ARTICLE XXIX

 Landlord and
Tenant warrant that no broker was involved in this Lease or the transactions contemplated hereby except IP Commercial Properties, LLC (“Broker”). Tenant shall not be responsible for any real estate commission claimed to be owed to any

 ARTICLE XXXII 

Counterpart Signatures 

This Lease may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 ARTICLE XXXIII 

Miscellaneous 

Section 1. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, the obligations of Landlord under this
Lease (including as to any actual or alleged breach or default by Landlord) do not constitute personal obligations of the individual members, managers, investors, partners, directors, officers, or shareholders of Landlord or Landlord’s members
or partners, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against the individual members, managers, investors, partners, directors, officers, or shareholders of Landlord or Landlord’s members or partners or any other persons or entities having any
interest in Landlord, or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability with respect to this Lease. In addition, in consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder to Tenant and notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to
the contrary, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees for itself and all of its successors and assigns that the liability of Landlord for its obligations under this Lease (including any liability as a result of any actual or alleged failure, breach or
default hereunder by Landlord), shall be limited solely to, and Tenant’s and its successors’ and assigns’ sole and exclusive remedy shall be against, Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises, and no other assets of Landlord.
The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations on the part of the Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title to, or a
lessee’s interest in a ground lease of, the Leased Premises. In the event of any transfer or conveyance of any such title or interest (other than a transfer for security purposes only), the transferor shall be automatically relieved of all
covenants and obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease. Landlord and Landlord’s transferees and assignees shall have the absolute right to transfer all or any portion of their respective title and interest in the Leased
Premises and/or this Lease without the consent of Tenant, and such transfer or subsequent transfer shall not be deemed a violation on Landlord’s part of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease. 

Section 2. Within 15 business days following Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to
Landlord a commercially reasonable and typical estoppel certificate. Any such estoppel certificate may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of any portion of the Leased Premises, as well as their
assignees. Tenant’s failure to deliver such estoppel certificate following an additional two (2) business day cure period after notice shall constitute a default hereunder. Tenant’s failure to deliver such certificate within such time
shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and that not more than one
(1) month’s Rent has been paid in advance. 

  
 -22- 













 Section 3. This Lease shall be governed by, and construed pursuant
to, the laws of the state of California. Venue for any litigation between the parties hereto concerning this Lease or the occupancy of the Premises shall be initiated in the county in which the Premises are located. Tenant shall comply with all
governmental and quasi-governmental laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to the Premises, and all rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto and all covenants, conditions and restrictions applicable to and/or of record against the
Premises (individually, a “Law” and collectively, the “Laws”). 
 Section 4. All of the
covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives and permitted successors and assigns. 

Section 5. If either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit (or alternate dispute resolution proceedings) against the
other with respect to this Lease, including for unlawful detainer, forcible entry and detainer, or any other relief against the other hereunder, then all costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party therein (including, without limitation, its
actual appraisers’, accountants’, attorneys’ and other professional fees, expenses and court costs), shall be paid by the other party, including any and all costs incurred in enforcing, perfecting and executing such judgment and all
reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees associated with any appeal. 
 Section 6. Landlord acknowledges that
Tenant anticipates becoming a public company on or about October 1, 2021. In the event Tenant does not become a publicly traded company by October 31, 2021, or should Tenant after becoming a public company assign this Lease to a company
which is not a publicly traded company, then Tenant or such assignee, as applicable agree to provide financial information to Landlord as follows: Upon fifteen (15) days prior written request from Landlord (which Landlord may make at any time
during the Term including in connection with Tenant’s exercise of any Option in this Lease, but no more often that two (2) times in any calendar year, other than in the event of a default by Tenant during such calendar year or the exercise
of any Option in such calendar year, when such limitation shall not apply), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for review by Landlord and by Landlord’s accountants, investors and prospective purchasers and lenders: (a) a current financial
statement of Tenant and any guarantor of this Lease, and (b) financial statements of Tenant and such guarantor for the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year. If Tenant does become a publicly traded company by
October 31, 2021, Landlord shall have the right to perform a creditworthiness evaluation of Tenant and based on such evaluation may require a commercially reasonable security deposit from Tenant which shall be held by Landlord as provided in
Section 9 below. Landlord covenants and agrees not to disclose any information regarding Tenant’s financial statements to any parties other than its accountants, investors, purchasers, and lenders to keep all of Tenant’s financial
information confidential. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles and certified as true in all material respects by Tenant (if Tenant is an individual) or by an authorized officer,
member/manager or general partner of Tenant (if Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, respectively). 

  
 -23- 













 Section 7. This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall constitute an original and all of which shall be one and the same agreement. Signatures and initials required in this document may be executed via “wet” original handwritten signature or initials, or via electronic
signature or mark, which shall be binding on the parties as originals, and the executed signature pages may be delivered using pdf or similar file type transmitted via electronic mail, cloud based server,
e-signature technology or other similar electronic means, and any such transmittal shall constitute delivery of the executed document for all purposes of this Lease. 

Section 8. Landlord and its employees and agents shall at all reasonable times have the right to enter the Leased
Premises to inspect the same, to supply any service required to be provided by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease, to exhibit the Leased Premises to prospective lenders or purchasers (or during the last year of the Term or during any default by
Tenant, to prospective tenants), to post notices of non-responsibility, and/or to alter, improve or repair the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, all without being deemed guilty of or liable for any
breach of Landlord’s covenant of quiet enjoyment or any eviction of Tenant, and without abatement of Rent. In exercising such entry rights, Landlord shall endeavor to minimize, to the extent reasonably practicable, the interference with
Tenant’s business, and shall provide Tenant with reasonable advance notice (oral or written) of such entry (except in emergency situations and for scheduled services). For each of the foregoing purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and
retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Leased Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes, and Landlord shall have the means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to
obtain entry to the Leased Premises. Any entry to the Leased Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means or otherwise shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the
Leased Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, or grounds for any abatement or reduction of Rent and Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant for any damages or losses on account of any such entry
by Landlord. 
 Section 9. If Landlord requires a security deposit from Tenant pursuant to Section 6 above,
the security deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant during the Term. If Tenant defaults with respect to any
of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the security deposit for the payment of any Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment
of any other amount, loss or damage which Landlord may spend, incur or suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of the security deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, deposit
cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount. Landlord shall not be required to keep the security deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the
security deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the security deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the
Term, provided that Landlord may retain the security deposit until such time as any amount due from Tenant in accordance with this Lease has been determined and paid in full. If Landlord sells its interest in the Building during the Term and if
Landlord deposits with or credits to the purchaser the security deposit (or balance thereof), then, upon such sale, Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to the security deposit.
