attached, as supplemented by this Exhibit. Landlord appoints Landlord’s Representative to act for Landlord and Tenant appoints Tenant’s Representative to act for Tenant in all matters covered by this Exhibit. All inquiries, requests,
instructions, authorizations and other communications with respect to the matters covered by this Exhibit will be made to Landlord’s Representative or Tenant’s Representative, as the case may be. Tenant will not make any inquiries of or
requests to, and will not give any instructions or authorizations to, any other employee or agent of Landlord, including Landlord’s architect, engineers and contractors or any of their agents or employees, with regard to matters covered by this
Exhibit. Either party may change its Representative under this Lease at any time with three business (3) days’ prior written notice to the other party. 

Tenant’s Representative:             Wayne Kotow 

Landlord’s Representative:         Diane Knapp, c/o CB Richard Ellis, Inc. 

Section 2. The Premises. The Premises, as defined in the attached Lease, consist of 33,990 Rentable Square Feet
(“RSF”) and 30,248 Useable Square Feet (“USF”). 
 Section 3. The Work.
Landlord shall perform improvements to the Premises (the “Work”) in accordance with the Final Plans (as defined in Section 4 below) using Building standard methods, materials and finishes, unless otherwise approved by Landlord.
Landlord hall enter into a direct contract(s) for the Work with a general contractor(s) (“Contractor”) selected by the parties in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5 below. Landlord and Tenant agree that
Landlord’s obligation to pay for the Cost of the Work (which shall, except as expressly set forth herein, include, without limitation, all costs of design, construction, labor and materials incurred by Landlord, including the cost of preparing
any necessary space plans, preliminary or final plans, costs of engineering, obtaining permits, and other related costs, and the payments to Tenant’s Space Planner described below) shall not exceed $509,850 ($I5/RSF) (the
“Allowance”) and that Tenant shall be responsible for (a) the Cost of the Work, plus any applicable state sales or use tax, if any, to the extent that it exceeds the Allowance. Up to $84,975 ($2.50/RSF) of the Allowance may be
applied toward demountable partitions, which shall be owned by Landlord, and at the option of Landlord, remain in the Premises upon Tenant’s vacation or be removed, at Tenant’s sole cost, upon Tenant’s vacation of the Premises. In
addition, Landlord shall charge a supervisory or construction management fee equal to
2 1/2% of the Cost of the Work, which shall be
payable from the Allowance. Payments from the Allowance for Tenant’s Space Planner shall be available only to the extent Tenant actually incurs costs from such party. Landlord will make disbursements to Tenant upon receipt by Landlord of

  

 - 1 - 








 
invoices marked as having been approved by Tenant, together with (a) unconditional lien releases reasonably acceptable to Landlord from all parties whose charges are covered by the
application for payment, and (b) any other evidence reasonably requested by Landlord in support of the costs for which payment is being requested. 

If the Cost of the Work is estimated to exceed the Allowance, Landlord. prior to commencing any Work, shall submit to Tenant a written
estimate from Landlord which shall include documentary back-up of contracts and bids from Contractor setting forth the anticipated Cost of the Work, including but not limited to labor and materials, contractor’s fees and permit fees, and the
portions of the Allowance allocable for Tenant’s Space Planner and Landlord’s construction manager. Within 5 business days thereafter, Tenant shall either notify Landlord in writing of its approval of the cost estimate, or specify its
objections thereto and any desired changes to the proposed Work. If Tenant notifies Landlord of such objections and desired changes, Tenant and Landlord shall promptly negotiate in good faith to reach a mutually acceptable alternative cost estimate.

 If Landlord’s estimate and/or the actual Cost of the Work shall exceed the Allowance (such amounts exceeding the
Allowance being herein referred to as the “Excess Costs”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord 50% of such Excess Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, prior to commencement of the Work with the balance to be payable
upon completion of the Work. The amounts payable by Tenant hereunder constitute Rent payable pursuant to the Lease, and the failure to timely pay same constitutes an Event of Default under the Lease. In the event that the Cost of the Work, plus the
estimated Excess Costs paid by Tenant to Landlord exceed the actual Cost of the Work, plus any additional work requested by Tenant, the difference shall be credited against the Rent next due. 

Any portion of the Allowance which exceeds the Cost of the Work or is otherwise remaining after the completion of the Work
(“Unused Allowance”) shall accrue to the sole benefit of Landlord, it being agreed that Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, offset, abatement or payment with respect thereto. 

Section 4. Final Plans. The Space Planner for the Work shall be selected by Tenant and subject to approval by Landlord, which
will not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord hereby agrees that Augustine Design Group, if selected by Tenant, shall be approved by Landlord. The Space Planner shall be contracted by Tenant and shall not be deemed an employee or agent of Landlord.
Space planning fees shall be deemed a cost of design, reimbursable by Landlord subject to the Allowance. Tenant’s Representative will cause the Space Planner to prepare and deliver to Landlord schematic drawings showing the preliminary layout
of the Premises (the “Space Plan”). Landlord and Landlord’s project manager (“Landlord’s Construction Representative”) shall review the Space Plan and respond to the Tenant’s Representative within five business
days after receipt thereof, by either approving the Space Plan or specifying any changes or modifications Landlord desires in the Space Plan. Any changes or modifications requested by Landlord shall be discussed with Tenant’s Representative in
a meeting attended by the Space Planner and Landlord’s Construction Representative to be held within five business days thereafter and each party shall use its mutual good faith efforts to resolve the changes or modifications requested by
Landlord. The Tenant’s Representative shall cause the Space Planner to revise the Space Plan and resubmit them to Landlord and Landlord’s Construction

Systems; (ii) is not approved by the holder of a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Building at the time the work is proposed; (iii) violates any agreement which affects the Building or which binds Landlord; (iv) Landlord

applicable building codes or is not approved by any governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Premises and/or the Building; (vii) does not conform to Landlord’s “Building Standard” tenant improvement specifications unless
otherwise approved by Landlord; or (viii) Landlord reasonably believes will result in a delay in the completion of the Work (unless Tenant agrees to pay any costs relating to such delay), or will result in Excess Costs (unless Tenant pays such
Excess Costs to Landlord pursuant to Section 3 above). Tenant’s Representative shall cause the Space Planner to prepare final construction drawings and construction specifications based on the approved Space Plans in form sufficient. to
submit to applicable governmental agencies, which shall be subject to Landlord’s and Landlord’s Construction Representative’s approval, in accordance with the foregoing procedures. Such final construction drawings and construction
specifications shall be submitted by Tenant’s Representative to the Landlord and the Landlord’s Construction Representative concurrently with Tenant’s Representative’s submittal of such plans and specifications to the applicable
City of San Diego Building and Planning agency (the “City”) for review and approval. The construction drawings and specifications as approved by the Landlord and Tenant are hereinafter referred to as the “Final Plans.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the preparation of the Final Plans, Tenant’s Representative shall cause the Space Planner to provide Landlord’s Construction Representative with interim construction drawings and specifications,
including design development and pricing drawings (in form sufficient to obtain a bid from contractors) for comment and review. Landlord shall provide Tenant with its written comments, if any, on such interim drawings within five business days after
receipt. Each party will use its mutual good faith efforts to resolve any matters raised by Landlord within five days thereafter. 

Section 5. Contractor. Upon completion of the Final Plans for the Work, Landlord will invite four contractors, two designated
by Tenant (provided such contractor is on Landlord’s approved list) and two designated by Landlord to provide competitive bids for the Work depicted in the Final Plans. Landlord hereby confirms that Bycor General Contractors, Inc., if selected
by Tenant, is on Landlord’s approved list. Each bid shall include a contingency for modifications to the Final Plans which may be required by the City. Upon approval of the Final Plans by the City, each general contractor shall finalize its bid
to include the cost of changes, if any, which are required by the City. Responses by the general contractors will also include the duration of the build out and a list of personnel who will be assigned to the project. Each of the four general
contractors shall bid each major trade (including mechanical, electrical and life safety which shall be performed by a subcontractor on Landlord’s approved list), and the final selection of general contractor shall be made by the Tenant based
on the lowest qualified bid and other reasonable criteria for selection of contractors, but subject to Landlord’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld.

the Work result in any rent abatement, set off or other credit against the Basic Monthly Rent, and Landlord shall not be liable for any damage suffered or incurred on account of any delay in completion. 

Section 7. Tenant Delays. Tenant shall pay any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of any Tenant Delays (as
further defined below), including without limitation, any increases in costs or expenses for labor or materials. Each of the following events shall be deemed a “Tenant Delay”: (a) delays resulting from any direction by Tenant that
causes a suspension of work or otherwise hold up construction of any portion of the Work because of a possible change order initiated by Tenant or for any other reason directed by Tenant; (b) delays because portions of the Work cannot be
performed until work to be performed by or on behalf of Tenant is performed; (c) delays due to the failure of Tenant to pay Excess Costs when due; (d) delays which result from Tenant’s or its Representative’s failure to comply
with the schedule set forth in Section 4; (e) delays which result from change orders described in Section 8 below; (f) delays which result directly or indirectly from Tenant’s changes in the working drawings, plans, or
specifications; or (g) any other action or inaction of Tenant that directly or indirectly delays Landlord in completing the Work, provided Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with written notice of the Tenant Delays
resulting from the matters described in subclauses (b). (d), (e), (f) and (g) above. 
 Section 8. Change
Orders. Tenant may request changes in the work during construction only by written instructions to Landlord’s Representative on a form designated by Landlord’s space planner and approved by Landlord. All such changes will be subject to
Landlord’s prior written approval in accordance with Section 4. Prior to commencing any change, Contractor will prepare and deliver to Tenant, for Tenant’s approval, a change order (the “Change Order”) setting forth the
total cost of such change and the revised estimated completion date, if the Change Order will alter the estimated date for Substantial Completion of the Work. If Tenant fails to approve such Change Order within five (5) days after
