 1.2 Exhibits. 

The Exhibits listed below in this Section are incorporated in this Lease by reference and are to be construed as a part of this Lease. 

 

			
	Exhibit A	  	Declaration by Landlord and Tenant as to Commencement Date
	Exhibit B	  	Landlord Improvements
	Exhibit C	  	Rules and Regulations

 ARTICLE 2 

Premises; Term; Extension Option; Parking 

2.1 Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from 

Landlord, subject to and with the benefit of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease, the Premises, excluding exterior
faces of exterior walls, elevator shafts, pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures serving the Premises. 
 2.2 Term.
The term of this Lease shall be for a period beginning on the Commencement Date and continuing for the Original Term and any extension thereof in accordance with the provision of this Lease, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. When the
dates of the beginning and end of the term of this Lease have been determined, such dates shall be evidenced by a document in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto executed by Landlord and Tenant and delivered each to the other, but the
failure of Landlord and Tenant to execute or deliver such document shall have no effect upon such dates. The Original Term and any extension thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Lease is hereinafter referred to as the “term”
of this Lease. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Delivery Date (as hereinafter defined) does not occur by June 30,
2021 (a) through no act or omission of Tenant, its agents or employees, and (b) for any reason other than a Force Majeure Delay (as hereinafter defined), then Tenant shall be entitled to a day for day abatement of Annual Fixed Rent for each day
thereafter until the Delivery Date. Any such abatement shall be added to the Rent Abatement Period. For purposes hereof, a “Force Majeure Delay” means an actual delay in either the commencement of construction of, or substantial
completion of, the Landlord Improvements, or an actual delay in delivering the Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s Improvements substantially completed, due to labor strike or labor stoppage, unusual inability to obtain material on a timely
basis, unusual transportation delays, riots, floods, washouts, explosions, earthquakes, fire, unusual weather conditions that are not contemplated by a construction schedule for the Landlord Improvements, acts of God, acts of a public enemy
(including terrorist acts), wars and insurrections, any epidemic or pandemic, any governmentally required closure resulting from any force majeure event, delays by local governmental authorities in issuing permits, governmental approvals, licenses,
variances, consents, authorizations or certificates (including any certificate of occupancy), delays by local governmental authorities in conducting inspections that are required to achieve substantial completion, or similar matters not reasonably
within the expectation or control of Landlord or any of Landlord’s agents or employees; provided, however, a Force Majeure Delay shall not include any delay resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. 

  
 4 














 Tenant shall have access to the Premises thirty (30) days prior to the estimated
Commencement Date (based on Landlord’s estimate of the Commencement Date), for the sole purpose of installing fixtures, furniture and equipment in the Premises and move-in activities, provided that Tenant
does not interfere with the completion of the Landlord Improvements and, prior to any such access, Tenant delivers to Landlord: (i) a copy of its certificate of insurance for the Premises (complying with the terms hereof) naming Landlord and
Landlord’s agent, The RMR Group LLC, as an additional insured; (ii) the Security Deposit; and (iii) the Advance Rent Amount. During such early access period, Tenant shall not use the Premises to conduct any business whatsoever at the
Premises. Such access shall be subject to all of the provisions hereof (except that prior to the Commencement Date no Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent will accrue) and such early access shall not advance the Lease Expiration Date. 

2.3 Extension Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as this Lease is still in full force and effect, and subject to each of
the “Conditions” (as hereinafter defined), which Landlord may waive, in its discretion, at any time, but only by written notice to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to extend the Original Term for one (1) additional period of five
(5) years (the “Extended Term”). The Extended Term shall commence on the day succeeding the expiration of the Original Term, and shall end on the day immediately preceding the fifth (5th) anniversary of the commencement of the
Extended Term. The Extended Term shall be upon all of the same terms and conditions as provided elsewhere in this Lease, except that (a) Tenant shall have no further right to extend the term of this Lease beyond the Extended Term hereinabove
provided, (b) Landlord shall have no obligation to install improvements in the Premises, and (c) the Annual Fixed Rent for the Extended Term, payable in monthly installments, shall be for the first year of the Extended Term an amount equal
to the greater of (i) one hundred three percent (103%) of the Annual Fixed Rent for the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the commencement of the Extended Term and (ii) the “Market Rate” (as hereinafter defined)
for the Premises as of the commencement of the Extended Term (and for each additional year of the Extended Term shall increase by a “Market Percentage” (as hereinafter defined)), all as designated by Landlord in a written notice
(“Landlord’s Notice”) delivered to Tenant on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after Landlord’s receipt of “Tenant’s Election Notice” (as hereinafter defined). If Tenant shall elect to exercise the
aforesaid option, it shall do so by delivering written notice (“Tenant’s Election Notice”) of its election to Landlord no later than twelve (12) months but no earlier than fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration
of the Original Term. If Tenant fails to timely give Tenant’s Election Notice to Landlord, the term of this Lease shall automatically terminate no later than the Lease Expiration Date and Tenant shall have no further option to extend the term
of this Lease, it being agreed that time is of the essence with respect to the giving of Tenant’s Election Notice. If Tenant shall extend the term of this Lease pursuant to the provisions hereof, such extension shall (subject to the
satisfaction of the Conditions, unless waived by Landlord) be automatically effected without the execution of any additional documents, but Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, execute an agreement confirming the Annual Fixed Rent for the
Extended Term. The “Conditions” are that, at the time of exercise of such renewal option and at the time the Extended Term would begin, there shall exist no Default of Tenant under this Lease or event or conditions which, with the giving
of notice, the passage of time, or both, could mature into a Default of Tenant under this Lease. 

  
 5 














 As used herein, (x) “Market Rate” shall mean the then fair market annual
rent for the Premises for the Extended Term commensurate with the fixed annual rents then being charged in comparable buildings located in the Fremont, California sub-market for premises of a similar size and
quality of build-out to the Premises under leases for a similar term, taking into account all relevant factors, and (y) “Market Percentage” shall mean the greater of (i) a percentage that
is typical for annual rent escalations as of the commencement of the Extended Term in the market in which the Premises are located and (ii) three percent (3%). If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s designation of the Market Rate and/or
Market Percentage, then Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord within twenty (20) days after receipt of Landlord’s Notice (failure to provide such notice of disagreement within such twenty (20) day period constituting
acceptance by Tenant of the Market Rate and Market Percentage as set forth in Landlord’s Notice); and if the parties cannot agree upon the Market Rate and/or Market Percentage by the date that is thirty (30) days following Landlord’s
Notice, then the Market Rate and/or Market Percentage (as applicable) shall be submitted to appraisal as follows: Within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall each give notice to
the other specifying the name and address of the appraiser each has chosen. The two appraisers so chosen shall meet within ten (10) days after the second appraiser is appointed and if, within twenty (20) days after the second appraiser is
appointed, the two appraisers shall not agree upon a determination of the Market Rate and/or Market Percentage in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.3 they shall together appoint a third appraiser. If only one appraiser
shall be chosen whose name and address shall have been given to the other party within such fifteen (15) day period and who shall have the qualifications hereinafter set forth, that sole appraiser shall render the decision which would otherwise
have been made as hereinabove provided. 
 If said two appraisers cannot agree upon the appointment of a third appraiser within ten
(10) days after the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, then either party, on behalf of both and on notice to the other, may request such appointment by the then President of the Real Estate Board (or any similar or successor
organization) for the Fremont, California sub-market in accordance with its then prevailing rules. If said President shall fail to appoint said third appraiser within ten (10) days after such request is
made, then either party, on behalf of both and on notice to the other, may request such appointment by the American Arbitration Association (or any successor organization) in accordance with its then prevailing rules. In the event that all three
appraisers cannot agree upon such Market Rate and/or Market Percentage within ten (10) days after the third appraiser shall have been selected, then each appraiser shall submit his or her designation of such Market Rate and/or Market Percentage
to the other two appraisers in writing; and the Market Rate and/or Market Percentage shall be determined by calculating the average of the two numerically closest (or, if the values are equidistant, all three) values so determined. 

Each of the appraisers selected as herein provided shall have at least ten (10) years’ experience as a commercial real estate broker
in the Fremont, California sub-market dealing with properties of the same type and quality as the Building and shall not be an appraiser then representing either party hereto. Each party shall pay the fees and
expenses of the appraiser it has selected and the fees of its own counsel. Each party shall pay one half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of the third appraiser (or the sole appraiser, if applicable) and all other expenses of the appraisal. The
decision and award of the appraiser(s) shall be in writing and shall be final and 

  
 6 














 
conclusive on all parties, and counterpart copies thereof shall be delivered to both Landlord and Tenant. Judgment upon the award of the appraiser(s) may be entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction. 
 The appraiser(s) shall determine the Market Rate and/or Market Percentage of the Premises for the Extended Term and render
a decision and award as to their determination to both Landlord and Tenant (A) within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the second appraiser, (B) within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the third appraiser or
(C) within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the sole appraiser, as the case may be. In rendering such decision and award, the appraiser(s) shall assume (I) that neither Landlord nor the prospective tenant is under a
compulsion to rent, and that Landlord and Tenant are typically motivated, well-informed and well-advised, and each is acting in what it considers its own best interest, (II) the Premises are fit for immediate occupancy and use “as
is”, and (III) that in the event the Premises have been damaged by fire or other casualty prior to the commencement of the Extended Term, they have been fully restored. The appraisers shall also take into consideration the rents contained
in leases for comparable space in the center containing the Building, and in comparable buildings in the Fremont, California sub-market, for comparable periods of time. 

If the dispute between the parties as to the Market Rate and/or Market Percentage has not been resolved before the commencement of
Tenant’s obligation to pay the Annual Fixed Rent based upon determination of such Market Rate and/or Market Percentage, then Tenant shall pay the Annual Fixed Rent under this Lease based upon the Market Rate and Market Percentage designated by
Landlord in Landlord’s Notice until either the agreement of the parties as to the Market Rate and/or Market Percentage (as applicable), or the decision of the appraiser(s), as the case may be, at which time Tenant shall pay any underpayment of
the Annual Fixed Rent to Landlord, or Landlord shall refund any overpayment of the Annual Fixed Rent to Tenant. 
 Landlord and Tenant
hereby waive the right to an evidentiary hearing before the appraiser(s) and agree that the appraisal shall not be an arbitration nor be subject to state or federal law relating to arbitrations. 

2.4 Parking. During the term of this Lease and any extension thereof, Tenant shall be entitled to use, without charge, parking spaces
in the Parking Facility as follows: 
 (a) Tenant shall be entitled to use, in common with Landlord and other occupants of the Property, up
to 3.43 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises rounded down to the nearest whole number (i.e., 340 parking spaces). All parking spaces shall be on an unreserved unassigned basis, until further notice. 

(b) Tenant shall use the Parking Facility for the parking of passenger vehicles only. 

(c) Landlord reserves the right to implement and modify systems to regulate access to and use of the Parking Facility, including, without
limitation, parking passes, parking stickers, and card key access, or any other system reasonably designated by Landlord upon written notice to Tenant. 

  
 7 














 (d) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is not required to provide any security or security
services for the Parking Facility. Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims, loss, cost, or damage arising out of the use by Tenant and its employees and invitees of the Parking Facility. 

(e) Landlord reserves the right to change entrances or exits and alter traffic flow within the Parking Facility, and to modify the Parking
Facility to any extent, provided such changes shall not materially and adversely affect Tenant’s rights in this Section 2.4. 

(f) Tenant shall cause its employees and invitees to comply with any reasonable rules and regulations pertaining to the Parking Facility
established by Landlord from time to time and provided to Tenant in writing. 
 ARTICLE 3 

Condition of Premises 

Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Premises are as of the date hereof in good condition and are appropriate for its use and occupancy
throughout the term of this Lease, and that Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any alterations or improvements thereto. Landlord shall, however, one time only, cause to be made to the Premises, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, the
following improvements (collectively, the “Landlord Improvements”): (a) cause to be made to the Premises the “turnkey” improvements set forth on the plans prepared by AP+I Design, dated September 9, 2020, copies of
which are attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Plans”), and (b) ensure the roof and all building systems and components (“Building Systems and Components”) are in good working condition and repair including doors and
existing electrical, plumbing, fire sprinkler, security, lighting, water, gas, ceiling, and HVAC (as hereinafter defined) systems. 

Landlord shall pursue diligently and in good faith the completion of the Landlord Improvements. Promptly upon the commencement of the Landlord
Improvements, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a construction schedule setting forth the projected completion dates therefor and showing the deadlines for any actions required to be taken by Tenant during such construction, and Landlord may from
time to time during construction of the Landlord Improvements modify such schedule. The Landlord Improvements shall be installed and constructed in accordance with the Plans and requirements of all applicable laws, and shall be done in a good
workmanship like manner. Tenant shall have the right to request changes to the Plans, which shall be approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion. The date Landlord actually delivers the Premises to Tenant with the Landlord Improvements
substantially completed in accordance with the terms of this Lease shall be the “Delivery Date”. 
 Except for the Landlord
Improvements, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide or pay for any other improvements to the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agent or employees (either past or present) have made any representation or
warranty as to the present or future suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business. Tenant further acknowledges that, except as provided in this Lease, neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agents or employees (either past or
present) have made any representation or warranty, and Landlord hereby disclaims any representation or warranty, as to the physical condition of the Premises or 

  
 8 














 
anything installed or contained therein (including, without limitation, the Landlord Improvements), including, but not limited to, any express or implied warranty of habitability, merchantability
or fitness for a particular purpose. 
 As used in this Lease, the phrase “substantial completion” shall mean when the Landlord
Improvements have been completed except for items of work which can be completed after occupancy has been taken without causing undue interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises (i.e., when the Landlord Improvements have been completed
except for “punchlist” items or similar corrective work). Within thirty (30) days following the date of substantial completion of the Landlord Improvements, Tenant shall conduct a walk-through inspection of the Premises with Landlord
and deliver to Landlord a document setting forth any “punchlist” items. Landlord shall thereafter diligently complete such punchlist items within a reasonable period (not to exceed thirty (30) days) following the expiration of the
aforesaid thirty (30) day period. 
 ARTICLE 4 

Rent, Additional Rent, Insurance and Other Charges 

4.1 The Annual Fixed Rent. Tenant shall pay Annual Fixed Rent to Landlord, or as otherwise directed in writing by Landlord, without
offset, abatement (except as provided in Article 7), deduction or demand. Annual Fixed Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each and every calendar month during the term of this Lease, by electronic
transfer of immediately available funds to the account set forth in Section 1.1, by check drawn on a domestic bank and sent to the address set forth in Section 1.1, or in such other manner, or to such other account, as Landlord shall from
time to time designate by written notice to Tenant. Annual Fixed Rent for any partial month shall be prorated on a daily basis (based on a 365 day year), and if Annual Fixed Rent commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the
first payment which Tenant shall make to Landlord shall be payable on the date Annual Fixed Rent commences and shall be equal to such pro-rated amount plus the installment of Annual Fixed Rent for the
succeeding calendar month. 
 4.2 Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Percentage of
Taxes (as hereinafter defined) and Operating Costs (as hereinafter defined) as provided in Sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2, and all other charges and amounts payable by or due from Tenant to Landlord (all such amounts referred to in this sentence being
“Additional Rent”). 
 4.2.1 Real Estate Taxes. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount
(“Tenant’s Tax Share”) equal to Tenant’s Percentage of the Taxes (as hereinafter defined) due (or estimated to be due by governmental authority) for any twelve-month period established by Landlord (an “Operating
Year”) during the term of this Lease. Except as otherwise provided in the immediately following paragraph, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Tax Share to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the date or dates within any year during
the term hereof that the same, or any fractional share thereof, shall be due and payable to any governmental authority responsible for collection of same (as stated in a notice to Tenant given at least thirty (30) days prior to the date or
dates any such payment shall be due, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the manner of 

  
 9 














 
computation of any Tenant’s Tax Share due from Tenant), except that such payment shall be made to Landlord not later than ten (10) days after such notice to Tenant, if such notice is
given subsequent to the date thirty (30) days prior to the date the same is due and payable as aforesaid. 
 At Landlord’s
election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent on the first day of each calendar month during the term but otherwise in the manner provided for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent, estimated payments on account of Tenant’s Tax Share,
such monthly amounts to be sufficient to provide Landlord by the time Tax payments are due or are to be made by Landlord a sum equal to Tenant’s Tax Share for the then current Operating Year, as reasonably estimated by Landlord from time to
time. Prior to the beginning of each Operating Year during the term of this Lease, or within a reasonable period of time thereafter, Landlord shall give to Tenant in writing its reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Tax Share for such Operating Year
(which estimate Landlord may subsequently change), and Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month with Tenant’s monthly installment of Annual Fixed Rent, one-twelfth (1/12th) of such most recent estimate
(prorated with respect to any partial month at the beginning or end of the term), provided, however, if Landlord shall fail to give Tenant a revised estimate of Tenant’s Tax Share for any Operating Year, Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord
Additional Rent on account of Tenant’s Tax Share based upon Landlord’s most recent estimate of Tenant’s Tax Share until Landlord gives Tenant a new estimate thereof. Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each Operating
Year during the term (but Landlord shall endeavor to provide within one hundred twenty (120) days of the end of the Operating Year), Landlord shall give Tenant a written notice setting forth the amount of Taxes for the preceding Operating Year
and a computation of Tenant’s Tax Share in reasonable detail. If the total of Tenant’s monthly remittances on account of Tenant’s Tax Share for any Operating Year is greater than Tenant’s Tax Share for such Operating Year,
Landlord shall credit such overpayment against Tenant’s subsequent obligations on account of Taxes (or refund such overpayment within thirty (30) days if the term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has no further obligations to Landlord);
if the total of such remittances is less than Tenant’s Tax Share for such Operating Year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days after being so notified by Landlord. 

In the event that the Commencement Date shall occur or the term of this Lease shall expire or be terminated during any Operating Year, or
should the Operating Year or period of assessment of real estate taxes be changed or be more or less than one (1) year, or should Tenant’s Percentage be modified during any Operating Year due to a change in the rentable area of the
Property and/or the Premises or otherwise, as the case may be, then the amount of Tenant’s Tax Share which may be otherwise payable by Tenant as provided in this Subsection 4.2.1 shall be pro-rated on a
daily basis based on a 365 day Operating Year. 
 “Taxes” shall mean all taxes, assessments, excises and other charges and
impositions which are general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, of any kind or nature which are levied, assessed or imposed by any governmental authority upon or against or with respect to the Property, Landlord or the
owner or lessee of personal property used by or on behalf of Landlord in connection with the Property, or taxes in lieu thereof, and additional types of taxes to supplement real estate taxes due to legal limits imposed thereon. If, at any time, any
tax or excise on rents or other taxes, however described, are levied or assessed against Landlord, either wholly or 

  
 10 














 
partially in substitution for, or in addition to, real estate taxes assessed or levied on the Property, such tax or excise on rents or other taxes shall be included in Taxes; however, Taxes shall
not include franchise, transfer, gift estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy, income (except to the extent that a tax on income or revenue is levied solely on rental revenues and not on other types of income and then only from rental revenue
generated by the Property), excess profits taxes assessed on Landlord, or penalties or interest for impermissible late payment of any Taxes by Landlord. Taxes also shall include all court costs, reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and
accountants’ fees, costs and disbursements and other expenses incurred by Landlord in analyzing and contesting Taxes through and including all appeals. Taxes shall include any estimated payment made by Landlord on account of a fiscal tax period
for which the actual and final amount of taxes for such period has not been determined by the governmental authority as of the date of any such estimated payment. 

4.2.2 Operating Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount (“Tenant’s Operating Cost
Share”) equal to Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Costs (as hereinafter defined) paid or incurred by Landlord in any Operating Year. Except as otherwise provided in the immediately following paragraph, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s
Operating Cost Share to Landlord within twenty (20) days from the date Landlord shall furnish to Tenant an itemized written statement thereof, prepared, allocated and computed in accordance with then prevailing customs and practices of the real
estate industry in the Fremont area, consistently applied. Any year-end statement by Landlord relating to Operating Costs (other than an invoice for a monthly estimate) shall be final and binding upon Tenant
unless Tenant shall within sixty (60) days after receipt thereof, contest any items therein by giving notice to Landlord specifying each items contested and the reasons therefor. 

At Landlord’s election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, on the first day of each calendar month during the term but
otherwise in the manner provided for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent, estimated payments on account of Tenant’s Operating Cost Share, such monthly amounts to be sufficient to provide to Landlord, by the end of each Operating Year, a sum equal
to Tenant’s Operating Cost Share for such Operating Year, as estimated by Landlord from time to time. Prior to the beginning of each Operating Year during the term of this Lease, or within a reasonable period of time thereafter, Landlord shall
give to Tenant in writing its reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Operating Cost Share for such Operating Year (which estimate Landlord may subsequently change), and Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month with Tenant’s monthly installment of
Annual Fixed Rent, one-twelfth (1/12th) of such most recent estimate (prorated with respect to any partial month at the beginning or end of the term), provided, however, if Landlord shall fail to give Tenant a
revised estimate of Tenant’s Operating Cost Share for any Operating Year, Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord Additional Rent on account of Tenant’s Operating Cost Share based upon Landlord’s most recent estimate of Tenant’s
Operating Cost Share until Landlord gives Tenant a new estimate thereof. Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each Operating Year during the term (but Landlord shall endeavor to provide within one hundred twenty (120) days of the
end of the Operating Year), Landlord shall furnish to Tenant an itemized statement setting forth the amount of Operating Costs for the preceding Operating Year and a computation of Tenant’s Operating Cost Share, prepared and computed in
accordance with then prevailing customs and practices of the real estate industry in the greater Fremont area, consistently applied. Any such year-end statement by Landlord relating to Operating Costs shall be
final and 

  
 11 














 
binding upon Tenant unless it shall within sixty (60) days after receipt thereof, contest any items therein by giving notice to Landlord specifying each item contested and the reasons
therefor. If, at the expiration of each Operating Year in respect of which monthly installments on account of Tenant’s Operating Cost Share shall have been made as aforesaid, the total of such monthly remittances is greater than Tenant’s
Operating Cost Share for such Operating Year, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against Tenant’s subsequent obligations on account of Operating Costs (or refund such overpayment within thirty (30) days if the term of this Lease has
ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord); if the total of such remittances is less than Tenant’s Operating Cost Share for such Operating Year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days after being
so notified in writing by Landlord. 
 In the event that the Commencement Date shall occur or the term of this Lease shall expire or be
terminated during any Operating Year or Tenant’s Percentage shall be modified during any Operating Year due to a change in the rentable area of the Property and/or the Premises or otherwise, as the case may be, then the amount of Tenant’s
Operating Cost Share which may be payable by Tenant as provided in this Subsection 4.2.2 shall be pro-rated on a daily basis based on a 365 day Operating Year. 

“Operating Costs” shall be all costs and expenses paid or incurred for the operation, cleaning, management, maintenance,
insurance, repair, replacement, decoration, upkeep, protection and security of the Property or any part or component thereof, together with a management fee equal to three percent (3%) of gross rents. 

Operating Costs shall not include the following: 

(a) costs, including marketing costs, legal fees, space planner’s fees, and brokerage fees incurred in connection with the original
construction and development of the Property or the original or future leasing of the Property, and costs, including permit, license and inspection costs and allowances and other costs incurred with respect to the installation of tenant improvements
made for new tenants in the Property or incurred in renovating or otherwise improving, decorating, painting or redecorating vacant leasable space for tenants or other occupants (or prospective tenants or occupants) of the Property; 

(b) the cost of capital expenditures except as expressly provided herein; 

(c) depreciation, interest and principal payments on mortgages, and other debt costs except for the interest factor included in the annual
charge off of those capital expenditures that may be included in Operating Costs as herein provided; 
 (d) costs for which Landlord is
separately reimbursed by any tenant or occupant of the Property (other than pursuant to an operating cost clause) or by insurance by its carrier or any tenant’s carrier or by any other third party, and electric power costs for which any tenant
directly contracts with the local utility; 
 (e) any bad debt loss, rent loss, or reserves for bad debts or rent loss; 

  
 12 














 (f) any amounts paid as ground rental for the Property of Landlord; 

(g) all items and services for which Tenant or any other tenant in the Property separately reimburses Landlord or which Landlord provides
selectively to one or more tenants (but not to Tenant) without reimbursement; 
 (h) the costs of removing or remediating Hazardous
Materials (as hereinafter defined) that were placed or released in, on or under the Property by Landlord or Landlord’s agents, contractors or employees; 

(i) costs arising from Landlord’s charitable or political contributions; 

(j) the amount of any payments by Landlord to its affiliates for goods or services for the Property in excess of a competitive rate, except as
otherwise provided in this Lease; 
 (k) costs incurred in connection with the financing, refinancing, mortgaging, selling or change of
ownership of the Property, including brokerage commissions, fees of consultants, attorneys, and accountants, closing costs, title insurance premiums, transfer taxes and interest charges; 

(l) all costs associated with the operation of the business of the entity which constitutes Landlord as distinguished from costs incurred in
the operation of the Property (e.g., placement fees for employees, corporate accounting and employee training costs); 
 (m) costs arising
from the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord or 
 Landlord’s agents or employees; and 

(n) costs incurred by Landlord to correct any condition of the Building or Property that is in violation of any applicable laws as of the
Commencement Date. 
 Operating Costs shall be reduced by all cash discounts, trade discounts or quantity discounts received by Landlord or
Landlord’s managing agent in the purchase of any goods, utilities or services in connection with the prudent operation of the Building. In the calculation of any expenses hereunder, it is understood that no expense shall be charged more than
once. 
 If, during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall make any capital expenditure, the total cost thereof shall not be included in
Operating Costs for the Operating Year in which it was made, but Landlord may include in Operating Costs for such Operating Year in which such expenditure was made and in Operating Costs for each succeeding Operating Year an annual charge-off of such capital expenditure; provided such expenditure is (i) made to comply with any law, rule, regulation, order or ordinance, or any amendment thereto or interpretation thereof, first enacted
after the date the Building was constructed, or (ii) made to protect the health, safety of the occupants of the Property, or (iii) made to replace worn out or obsolete items or to keep the Property in first-class condition, or
(iv) designed to reduce Operating Costs. Annual charge-offs shall be determined by dividing the original capital expenditure plus an interest factor, reasonably determined by Landlord as being the interest rate then being charged for long-term
mortgages by institutional lenders on like 

  
 13 














 
properties within the locality in which the Property is located, by the number of years of useful life of the improvement, repair, alteration or replacement made with the capital expenditure; as
determined reasonably by Landlord. 
 4.3 Personal Property and Sales Taxes. Tenant shall pay all taxes charged, assessed or imposed
upon the personal property of Tenant and all taxes on the sales of inventory, merchandise and any other goods by Tenant in or upon the Premises. 

4.4 Insurance. 
 4.4.1
Insurance Policies. Tenant shall, at its expense, take out and maintain, throughout the term of this Lease, the following insurance: 

4.4.1.1 Commercial general liability insurance (on an occurrence basis, including without limitation, broad form contractual liability,
bodily injury, property damage, fire legal liability, and products and completed operations coverage) under which Tenant is named as an insured and Landlord and Landlord’s agent The RMR Group LLC (and the holder of any mortgage on the Premises
or Property, as set out in a notice from time to time) are named as additional insureds as their interests may appear, in an amount which shall, at the beginning of the term, be at least equal to the Commercial General Liability Insurance Limits,
and, which, from time to time during the term, shall be for such higher limits, if any, as Landlord shall determine to be customarily carried in the area in which the Premises are located at property comparable to the Premises and used for similar
purposes; provided, however, Landlord agrees that Landlord shall not request higher limits to the Commercial General Liability Insurance Limits during the Original Term; 

4.4.1.2 Worker’s compensation insurance with statutory limits covering all of Tenant’s employees working on the Premises, with a
limit not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence; 
 4.4.1.3 So-called “special form”
property insurance on a “replacement cost” basis with an agreed value endorsement covering all furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment and other personal property brought to the Premises by Tenant and anyone acting under Tenant and
all improvements and betterments to the Premises performed at Tenant’s expense; and 
 4.4.1.4 So-called “business income and
extra expense” insurance covering twelve months loss of income and business interruption. 
 4.4.2 Requirements. All such
policies shall contain a clause confirming that such policy and the coverage evidenced thereby shall be primary with respect to any insurance policies carried by Landlord and shall be obtained from responsible companies qualified to do business and
in good standing in the State of California and shall have a general policy holder’s rating in Best’s of at least A- VIII. A certificate of the insurer, certifying that such policy has been issued
and paid in full, providing the coverage required by this Section and containing provisions specified herein, shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement of the term of this Lease and, upon renewals, not less than thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration of such coverage. Each such policy shall be non-cancelable and not materially changed with respect to the interest of Landlord and such mortgagees of the Property without at least
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereto. 

  
 14 














 4.4.3 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant shall each endeavor to secure an
appropriate clause in, or an endorsement upon, each property damage insurance policy obtained by it and covering the Building, the Premises or the personal property, fixtures and equipment located therein or thereon, pursuant to which the respective
insurance companies waive subrogation and permit the insured, prior to any loss, to agree with a third party to waive any claim it might have against said third party. The waiver of subrogation or permission for waiver of any claim hereinbefore
referred to shall extend to the agents of each party and its employees and, in the case of Tenant, shall also extend to all other persons and entities occupying or using the Premises by, through or under Tenant. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 4.4.3, and insofar as may be permitted by the terms of the property insurance policies
carried by it, each party hereby releases the other with respect to any claim which it might otherwise have against the other party for any loss or damage to its property to the extent such damage is actually covered or would have been covered by
policies of property insurance required by this Lease to be carried by the respective parties hereunder. In addition, each party agrees to exhaust any and all claims against its insurer(s) prior to commencing an action against the other for any loss
covered by insurance required to be carried by either party hereunder. 
 4.5 Utilities. Tenant shall make its own arrangements for
the installation and provision of all utilities with respect to the Premises, including, without limitation, electricity (including electricity to operate the heating ventilation and air-conditioning
(“HVAC”) equipment serving the Premises), and Landlord shall be under no obligation to install any utility system in addition to those existing as of the Date of this Lease or to furnish any utilities to the Premises. All utilities
furnished to the Premises shall be separately metered, and the cost of installing, maintaining and repairing each separate metering device shall be borne by Tenant. Tenant shall contract directly for each utility service furnished to the Premises
and shall pay all charges for said utilities when due. If Tenant’s electricity consumption is not separately metered in all or any portion of the Premises during all or any portion of the term, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the costs
incurred by Landlord (including any associated fees and expenses) in supplying electricity to those portions of the Premises which are not separately metered, within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s written invoice therefor. Except as
otherwise expressly set forth herein, Landlord shall in no way be liable or responsible for any loss, damage or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of any change, failure, interference, disruption, or defect in the supply or character
of electricity, water or any other utility, or if the quantity or character of any utility is no longer available from the utility company or suitable for Tenant’s requirements, and no such change, failure, defect, unavailability, or
unsuitability shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that Annual Fixed
Rent does not include the cost of providing such utilities and services to the Premises. 
 4.6 Late Payment of Rent. If any
installment of Annual Fixed Rent or any Additional Rent is not paid on or before the date the same is due, it shall bear interest (as Additional Rent) from 

  
 15 














 
the date due until the date paid at the Default Rate (as defined in Section 8.4). In addition, if any installment of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent is unpaid for more than five
(5) days after the date due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to the greater of One Hundred Dollars ($100) or ten percent (10%) of the delinquent amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be liable for interest or
a late charge as aforesaid as to the first such late payment during the term of this Lease unless Tenant fails to make payment within three (3) days after written notice from Landlord that payment is overdue (but no such notice shall be
required as to any subsequent late payment during the term of this Lease). The parties agree that the amount of such late charge represents a reasonable estimate of the cost and expense that would be incurred by Landlord in processing and
administration of each delinquent payment by Tenant, but the payment of such late charges shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. Absent specific provision to the contrary, all Additional Rent shall be due and payable in
full thirty (30) days after written demand by Landlord. 
 4.7 Security Deposit. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall
deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance of all the terms of this Lease to be observed and performed by Tenant. The Security Deposit shall not be mortgaged,
assigned, transferred or encumbered by Tenant and any such act on the part of Tenant shall be without force and effect and shall not be binding upon Landlord. Tenant shall cause the Security Deposit to be maintained throughout the term in the amount
set forth in Section 1.1. 
 If the Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent payable hereunder shall be overdue and unpaid beyond any
applicable notice and/or cure periods, if any, or should Landlord make any payment on behalf of Tenant, or Tenant shall fail to perform any of the terms of this Lease beyond any applicable notice and/or cure periods, if any, or upon any other
Default of Tenant or default by Tenant under this Lease, then Landlord may, at its option and without notice or prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have on account thereof, appropriate and apply the entire Security Deposit or so much
thereof as may be necessary to compensate Landlord toward the payment of Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or other sums or loss or damage sustained by Landlord due to such breach by Tenant (including, without limitation, past due and thereafter
due rent), and Tenant shall forthwith upon demand restore the Security Deposit to the amount stated in Section 1.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the application by Landlord of all or any portion of the Security Deposit (with or without
notice thereof to Tenant) to compensate Landlord for a failure by Tenant to pay any Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent when due or to perform any other obligation hereunder, and until Tenant shall have restored the Security Deposit to the amount
required by Section 1.1, Tenant shall be deemed to be in default in the payment of Additional Rent for purposes of Section 8.1(a) hereof. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights Tenant may have with respect to the Security Deposit under
California Civil Code Section 1950.7(c). So long as Tenant shall not be in default of its obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and/or cure periods, if any, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as
shall have not theretofore been applied in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.7 (and less any amounts Landlord shall estimate shall be due from Tenant following year-end reconciliation of
Operating Costs and Taxes), to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease and the surrender of possession of the Premises by Tenant to


  
 16 














 
Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease. While Landlord holds the Security Deposit, Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the same and shall have the right to commingle
the same with Landlord’s other funds. If Landlord conveys Landlord’s interest under this Lease, the Security Deposit, or any part thereof not previously applied, shall be turned over by Landlord to Landlord’s grantee, and Tenant shall
look solely to such grantee for proper application of the Security Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.7 and the return thereof in accordance herewith. The holder of a mortgage on the Property shall not be responsible to
Tenant for the return or application of the Security Deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless such holder actually receives the Security Deposit. 

ARTICLE 5 

Landlord’s Covenants 

5.1 Repairs. During the term of this Lease, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Landlord shall maintain and make such
repairs and replacements to the exterior walls, floor slabs and other structural components and envelope of the Building, and to the exterior grounds and landscaping of the Building as may be necessary to keep them in good repair and condition
(exclusive of equipment installed by Tenant and except for those repairs required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Subsection 6.1.3 hereof and repairs or replacements occasioned by any act or negligence of Tenant, its servants, agents, customers,
contractors, employees, invitees, or licensees). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, for the first nine (9) months of the term of this Lease, Landlord shall repair or replace, at Landlord’s sole cost and
expense (and such costs shall not be included in Operating Costs), any Building Systems and Components which are not in good working condition and repair, as reasonably determined by Landlord, after Tenant provides Landlord with written notice that
any Building Systems and Components require repair or replacement. 
 5.2 Interruption. Landlord shall have no responsibility or
liability to Tenant for failure, interruption, inadequacy, defect or unavailability of any services, facilities, utilities, repairs or replacements or for any failure or inability to provide access or to perform any other obligation under this Lease
caused by breakage, accident, fire, flood or other casualty, strikes or other labor trouble, order or regulation of or by any governmental authority, inclement weather, repairs, inability to obtain or shortages of utilities, supplies, labor or
materials, war, civil commotion or other emergency, transportation difficulties or due to any act or neglect of Tenant or Tenant’s servants, agents, employees or licensees or for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, and in
no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any indirect or consequential damages suffered by Tenant due to any such failure, interruption, inadequacy, defect or unavailability; and failure or omission on the part of Landlord to furnish any of
same for any of the reasons set forth in this paragraph shall not be construed as an eviction of Tenant, actual or constructive, nor entitle Tenant to an abatement of rent, nor render Landlord liable in damages, nor release Tenant from prompt
fulfillment of any of its covenants under this Lease. 
 Landlord reserves the right to deny access to the Building and to interrupt the
services of the HVAC, plumbing, electrical or other mechanical systems or facilities in the Building when necessary from time to time by reason of accident or emergency, or for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements which in the
reasonable judgment of Landlord are desirable or 

  
 17 














 
necessary, until such repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements shall have been completed. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any such interruption and to
give to Tenant at least three (3) days’ notice if service is to be interrupted, except in cases of emergency. 
 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if due to Landlord’s default (a) the Premises or any portion thereof are unusable by Tenant for a period of more than ten (10) consecutive business days following notice from Tenant due to (i) a lack of any water,
sewer, access or electricity or (ii) the failure by Landlord to perform repairs which Landlord is obligated to perform under the terms of this Lease, and (b) Tenant shall, concurrently with the giving of such notice, discontinue the use of
the Premises or the portion thereof which is unusable as a result (other than for sporadic purposes such as salvage, security or retrieval of property), then as Tenant’s sole remedy, the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent on account of
Operating Costs and Taxes shall be equitably abated for such portion of the Premises rendered unusable for the period commencing on the expiration of such ten (10) business day period and ending on the date that the Premises (or such portion)
is rendered usable. If more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises is rendered unusable and if Tenant shall vacate the entire Premises, then the aforesaid abatement shall be a full abatement. Any notice from Tenant pursuant to the first sentence
of this paragraph shall expressly state that the failure of Landlord to cure any claimed default timely shall give rise to Tenant’s rights of rent abatement. 

5.3 Access to Building. During the term of this Lease, except as provided elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant shall have access to the
Premises at all times, subject to the Rules and Regulations (as hereinafter defined). Tenant acknowledges that Tenant is responsible for providing security to the Premises following Tenant’s entry onto the Premises for any reason and for its
own personnel whenever located therein. 
 5.4 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall, as part of Operating Costs, at all times
during the term of this Lease, so long as available at commercially reasonable rates and terms, keep in full force and effect (a) property insurance on the Building, in an amount not less than the full replacement value thereof (subject to
reasonable deductibles and excluding footings and foundations and any leasehold betterments or improvements performed by tenants) and (b) any combination of commercial general liability insurance policy (or an equivalent), excess liability
policy and/or umbrella liability policy in the amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) combined single limit for injury to, or death of, one or more persons in an occurrence. 

5.5 Legal Compliance. Landlord shall, as part of Operating Costs, keep the structure and the common areas and systems of the Building
and Property, to the extent necessary for the use and enjoyment of the Premises, in material compliance with all laws, building codes and regulations applicable thereto (including the Americans With Disabilities Act) after giving effect to any so-called grandfathering provisions (provided Tenant shall have complied with its obligations under Sections 6.1.3 and 6.1.4). Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date with the common
areas and facilities of the Building in material compliance with all applicable laws, codes and regulations of applicable governmental authorities. 

5.6 Indemnification. Subject to all limitations, waivers, exclusions and conditions contained in this Lease (each of which shall
control in the event of any conflict or inconsistency 

  
 18 














 
with this Section 5.6), Landlord shall indemnify Tenant and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities or penalties asserted by or on behalf of any third party on
account of bodily injury or death arising out of (a) Landlord’s breach of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, or (b) the negligence or other wrongful conduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors or employees during the
term of this Lease; and, in case of any action or proceeding brought against Tenant by reason of any such claim, Landlord, upon notice from Tenant and at Landlord’s expense, shall resist or defend such action or proceeding. 

ARTICLE 6 

Tenant’s Additional Covenants 

6.1 Affirmative Covenants. Tenant shall do the following: 

6.1.1 Perform Obligations. Tenant shall perform promptly all of the obligations of Tenant set forth in this Lease, and pay when due the
Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent and all other amounts which by the terms of this Lease are to be paid by Tenant. 
 6.1.2 Use.
Tenant shall, during the term of this Lease, use the Premises only for the Permitted Uses and procure and maintain all licenses and permits necessary therefor and for any other use or activity conducted at the Premises, at Tenant’s sole
expense. The Permitted Uses shall expressly exclude use for utility company offices, or employment agency or governmental or quasi-governmental offices. 

6.1.3 Repair and Maintenance. Tenant shall, during the term of this Lease, maintain the Premises in neat and clean order and condition,
shall purchase and install (in accordance with Building standards) all tubes, bulbs, starters and ballasts for lighting fixtures in the Premises and shall perform all daily cleaning and perform all repairs to the Premises and all fixtures, systems,
and equipment therein (including Tenant’s equipment and other personal property and any HVAC equipment serving all or any portion of the Premises (“Separate HVAC Equipment”)) as are necessary to keep them in good and clean
working order, appearance and condition, reasonable use and wear thereof and damage by fire or by unavoidable casualty only excepted and shall replace any damaged or broken glass in windows and doors of the Premises (except glass in the exterior
walls of the Building) with glass of the same quality as that damaged or broken. Tenant shall provide to Landlord, within five (5) days of Landlord’s written request, copies of all service records and service contracts for any equipment
located in or serving the Premises. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, during the term of this Lease,
Tenant shall also be responsible for, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, the regular maintenance and repair of (a) the roof of the Building and (b) the HVAC system serving the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the term
of this Lease, if (i) replacement of such roof is required, as reasonably determined by an independent engineer selected by Landlord, Landlord shall replace such roof, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (and such costs shall not be
included in Operating Costs), so long as such replacement is not required as a result of Tenant’s use of such roof pursuant to Subsection 6.2.5 or Tenant’s failure to maintain such roof pursuant to the terms of this Subsection 6.1.3, and
(ii) any repairs (or replacement) are required to such HVAC system, as reasonably determined by Landlord, and such repairs (or replacement) would cost more 

  
 19 














 
than five thousand dollars ($5,000), Landlord shall repair (or replace) such HVAC system, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (and such costs shall not be included in Operating Costs), so
long as such repair (or replacement) of such HVAC system is not required as a result of Tenant’s failure to regularly maintain and repair such HVAC system pursuant to the terms of this Subsection 6.1.3. 

6.1.4 Compliance with Law. Tenant shall, during the term of this Lease, make all repairs, alterations, additions or replacements to the
Premises required by any law or ordinance or any order or regulation of any public authority, keep the Premises safe and equipped with all safety appliances so required, and comply with, and perform all repairs, alterations, additions or
replacements required by, the orders and regulations of all governmental authorities with respect to zoning, building, fire, health and other codes, regulations, ordinances or laws applicable to the Premises or applicable to the Building or other
portions of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall only be responsible for such repairs, alterations, additions, replacements or safety appliances to the extent the need therefor arises out of any particular use or manner of use
of the Premises by Tenant (i.e. other than mere occupancy for the Permitted Use granted hereunder) or arising out of any work performed by Tenant. 

6.1.5 Indemnification. Tenant shall neither hold, nor attempt to hold, Landlord or its employees or Landlord’s agents or their
employees liable for, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, its employees and Landlord’s agents and their employees from and against, any and all demands, claims, causes of action, fines, penalties, damage, liabilities,
judgments and expenses (including, without limitation, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements) actually incurred by Landlord in connection with or
arising from: (a) the use or occupancy or manner of use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant; (b) any matter occurring on the Premises during the term; (c) any acts, omissions or negligence of
Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant, or the contractors, agents, employees, invitees or visitors of Tenant or any such person; (d) any breach, violation or nonperformance by Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant or the employees,
agents, contractors, invitees or visitors of Tenant or any such person of any term, covenant or provision of this Lease or any law, ordinance or governmental requirement of any kind; (e) claims of brokers or other persons for commissions or
other compensation arising out of any actual or proposed sublease of any portion of the Premises or assignment of Tenant’s interest under this Lease, or Landlord’s denial of consent thereto or exercise of any of Landlord’s other
rights under Section 6.2.1; and (f ) any injury or damage to the person, property or business of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, invitees, visitors or any other person entering upon the Property under the express or implied
invitation of Tenant. If any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord or its employees or Landlord’s agents or their employees by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon written notice from Landlord, shall defend the same, at
Tenant’s expense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing in no event shall this Section 6.1.5 require Tenant to indemnify or defend Landlord or its employees or Landlord’s agents or their
employees against any loss, cost, damage, liability, claim, or expense to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees or Landlord’s agents or their employees. 

6.1.6 Landlord’s Right to Enter. Tenant shall, during the term of this Lease, permit Landlord and its agents and invitees to enter
into and examine the Premises at reasonable 

  
 20 














 
times and to show the Premises to prospective lenders, partners and purchasers and others having a bonafide interest in the Premises, and to make such repairs, alterations and improvements and to
perform such testing and investigation as Landlord shall reasonably determine to make or perform. In addition, Landlord may, during the last twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of this Lease (or any time during a Default of Tenant), show
the Premises to prospective lessees and keep affixed in suitable places notices of availability of the Premises. In all cases except instances posing an imminent threat to life or property, and except for any entry pursuant to the performance of
Landlord’s routine obligations under Article 5, Landlord shall give Tenant not less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice prior to making any entry into the Premises. 

6.1.7 Payment of Landlord’s Cost of Enforcement. Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days following written demand therefor,
Landlord’s expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements, incurred in enforcing any obligation of Tenant under this Lease. 

6.1.8 Yield Up. Tenant shall, at the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease: surrender all keys to the Premises;
remove all of its trade fixtures and personal property in the Premises; remove such installations (including wiring and cabling wherever located), alterations and improvements made (or if applicable, restore any items removed) by or on behalf of
Tenant as Landlord may request (provided in the case of alterations made by Tenant which both require and receive Landlord’s prior consent, Tenant shall not be required to remove such alterations Landlord does not require or reserve the right
to require to be removed at the time Landlord consents to such alterations) and all Tenant’s signs wherever located; remove all laboratory equipment and special purpose equipment in the Premises as Landlord may request; repair all damage caused
by such removal; and vacate and yield up the Premises (including all installations, alterations and improvements made by or on behalf of Tenant except as Landlord shall request Tenant to remove), broom clean and in the same or similar good order and
repair in which the Premises were delivered to Tenant at the beginning of the term of this Lease. Any property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned and may be removed and disposed of by Landlord in such manner as Landlord shall determine and
Tenant shall pay Landlord the entire cost and expense incurred by it in effecting such removal and disposition. 
 6.1.9 Rules and
Regulations. Tenant shall, during the term of this Lease, observe and abide by the Rules and Regulations of the Property set forth as Exhibit C, as the same may from time to time be amended, revised or supplemented (the “Rules and
Regulations”) provided, however, the Rules and Regulations shall not be amended, revised or supplemented (except to the extent required to comply with changes in applicable laws, codes or regulations) so as to cause material interference
with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Uses. Tenant shall further be responsible for compliance with the Rules and Regulations by the employees, servants, agents and visitors of Tenant. 

6.1.10 Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days’ following written request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge
and deliver to Landlord a statement in form satisfactory to Landlord in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect and that Tenant has no defenses, offsets or counterclaims against its obligations to pay the Annual
Fixed Rent and Additional Rent and any other charges and to perform its other covenants under this Lease 

  
 21 














 
(or, if there have been any modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications and, if there are any defenses, offsets or counterclaims, setting
them forth in reasonable detail), the dates to which the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent and other charges have been paid, and any other factual matter pertaining to this Lease. Any such statement delivered pursuant to this Subsection 6.1.10
may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Property, or any prospective assignee of such mortgage. 
 6.1.11
Landlord’s Expenses For Consents. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, promptly following written demand for all reasonable legal, engineering and other professional services expenses incurred by Landlord in connection
with all requests by Tenant for consent or approval hereunder. 
 6.1.12 Financial Information. Tenant shall provide Landlord (no
more than twice per any calendar year during the term of this Lease) with Tenant’s most recent financial statements and confirmation of Tenant’s organizational structure as Landlord or the holder of any mortgage of the Building reasonably
requires, within fifteen (15) days of written request. All of Tenant’s financial information furnished to Landlord or the holder of any mortgage of the Building shall be kept confidential and may not be disclosed by Landlord or the holder
of any mortgage of the Building to anyone other than Landlord’s employees or agents (including advisers, consultants, accountants and attorneys), by any manner or means, directly or indirectly, without Tenant’s prior written consent;
provided, however, Tenant’s consent shall not be required in the event Landlord is reasonably required to disclose the terms of this Lease to its lenders or potential advisors, business partners or buyers (provided such parties agree to hold
the same confidentially in the same manner as Landlord is required to hold the same confidentially), or by reason of an order from any competent public authority. 

6.1.13 Data Obligations. Tenant shall submit to Landlord, within thirty (30) days of written request, but not more frequently than
semi-annually, any waste management, recycling, energy and water consumption data, including usage and charges as they may appear on any utility bills received by Tenant, in a format and covering a period of time reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
Landlord shall provide such non-proprietary, current information relating to Property energy and water consumption, waste management and recycling as Landlord has readily available, within thirty
(30) days of request by Tenant, not more frequently than semi-annually. 
 6.2 Negative Covenants. Tenant shall not do the
following. 
 6.2.1 Assignment and Subletting. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Tenant shall not assign, mortgage,
pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest herein or sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting of concessions and licenses and the like) all or any part of the Premises or suffer or permit this
Lease or the leasehold estate hereby created or any other rights arising under this Lease to be assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or encumbered, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or
permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant, except with Landlord’s prior written consent, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord. 

  
 22 














 Any transaction or series of transactions, whether by merger, transfer of stock, partnership
interests, membership interests or other equitable and/or beneficial interests, or otherwise (excluding transfers of stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other equitable and/or beneficial interests effected through a nationally
recognized securities exchange), that results in a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease. “Change of Control” means (a) any change of direct or indirect ownership of more
than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other equitable and/or beneficial interests of Tenant, (b) any change of direct or indirect power (whether or not exercised) to elect a majority of the
directors of Tenant, or (c) the transfer of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject
to the Affiliate Transfer Conditions (as hereinafter defined), Tenant may, without the need for Landlord’s consent, assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the whole or any portion of the Premises to any entity (an
“Affiliate”) which is a direct or indirect subsidiary or parent (or a direct or indirect subsidiary of a parent) of Cytek Biosciences, Inc. The “Affiliate Transfer Conditions” are that (i) Tenant shall provide
Landlord with written notice of such assignment or sublet on or before the tenth (10th) day prior to such assignment or the effective date of the sublease, (ii) as of the date such assignment or sublease becomes effective there shall exist no
Default of Tenant under this Lease, or event or conditions which, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, could mature into an Default of Tenant under this Lease, (iii) the principal purpose of such assignment is not the
transfer of Tenant’s interest in this Lease (except if such assignment is made for a valid intracorporate business purpose to an Affiliate and is not made to circumvent the provisions of this Section 6.2.1), and (iv) Tenant shall,
contemporaneously with such assignment or sublease, provide Landlord with a fully-executed counterpart of such assignment or sublease, which shall include an agreement by the assignee in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, to be bound by all
of the terms of this Lease. 
 No subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing primary liability of Tenant hereunder, and
no consent to any subletting or assignment in a particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation to obtain Landlord’s written approval in the case of any other subletting or assignment. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
promptly following written demand for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements incurred in connection with documenting Landlord’s consent to any assignment or sublease. 

6.2.2 Nuisance. Tenant shall not: injure, deface or otherwise harm the Premises; commit any nuisance; permit in the Premises any
inflammable fluids or chemicals (except such as are customarily used in connection with standard office equipment); permit any cooking to such extent as requires special exhaust venting; permit the emission of any objectionable noise or odor; make,
allow or suffer any waste; make any use of the Premises which is improper, offensive or contrary to any law or ordinance or which will invalidate or increase the premiums for any of Landlord’s insurance or which is liable to render necessary
any alteration or addition to the Property; or conduct any auction, fire, “going out of business” or bankruptcy sales. 
 6.2.3
Floor Load; Heavy Equipment. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises exceeding the lesser of the floor load capacity which such floor was designed to carry or which is allowed by law. Landlord reserves the right to
prescribe the weight and 

  
 23 














 
position of all heavy business machines and equipment, including safes, which shall be placed so as to distribute the weight. Business machines and mechanical equipment which cause vibration or
noise shall be placed and maintained by Tenant at Tenant’s expense in settings sufficient to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance. 

6.2.4 Electricity. Tenant shall not connect to the electrical distribution system serving the Premises a total load exceeding the
lesser of the capacity of such system or the maximum load permitted from time to time under applicable governmental regulations. The capacity of the electrical distribution system serving the Premises shall be the lesser of (a) the capacity of
the branch of the system serving the Premises exclusively or (b) the allocation to the Premises of the capacity of the system serving the entire Property, Landlord and Tenant agreeing that such capacity shall be allocated equally over the
entire rentable area of the Property. 
 6.2.5 Installation, Alterations or Additions. Tenant shall not make any installations,
alterations or additions in, to or on the Premises nor permit the making of any holes in the walls, partitions, ceilings or floors without on each occasion obtaining the prior consent of Landlord, and then only pursuant to plans and specifications
approved by Landlord in advance in each instance. Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to installations, alterations, additions or improvements that are consistent with Building standards,
do not affect the plumbing, HVAC, mechanical, electrical or life safety systems or the structural elements of the Building, are not visible from the outside of the Premises, do not require a building permit and shall not increase Operating Costs or
Taxes or require Landlord to perform any work to the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, repainting, recarpeting and/or the making of any alteration that (a) does not affect the Building Structure or the Building Systems and Components and
(b) does not require a permit or other government approval to undertake, shall not require the prior written consent of Landlord, provided that Tenant shall provide Landlord with prior notice thereof. Subject to the provisions of this
Subsection 6.2.5, during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the exclusive right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to install and operate solar panels, satellite dishes or similar antennas, and other telecommunication devices on the
roof of the Building. All work to be performed to the Premises by Tenant shall (i) be performed in a good and workmanlike manner by contractors approved in advance by Landlord and in compliance with all applicable zoning, building, fire, health
and other codes, regulations, ordinances and laws, (ii) be made at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and at such reasonable times and in such a manner as Landlord may from time to time designate, and (iii) become part of the Premises and
the property of Landlord without being deemed additional rent for tax purposes, Landlord and Tenant agreeing that Tenant shall be treated as the owner for tax purposes until the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof, subject to
Landlord’s rights pursuant to Section 6.1.8 to require Tenant to remove the same at or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be
treated as the owner for tax purposes of the Landlord Improvements. Tenant shall pay promptly when due the entire cost of any work to the Premises so that the Premises, Building and Property shall at all times be free of liens for labor and
materials, and, at Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a bond or other security acceptable to Landlord assuring that any such work will be completed in accordance with the plans and specifications theretofore approved
by Landlord and assuring that the Premises will remain free of any mechanics’ lien or other encumbrances that may 

  
 24 














 
arise out of such work. Prior to the commencement of any such work, and throughout and until completion thereof, Tenant shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, such insurance with coverage
limits as shall be reasonably required by Landlord. Whenever and as often as any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien shall have been filed against the Property based upon any act of Tenant or of anyone claiming through Tenant, Tenant shall
within three (3) business days of notice from Landlord to Tenant take such action by bonding, deposit or payment as will remove or satisfy the lien. 

6.2.6 Signs. Tenant shall not paint or place any signs or place any curtains, blinds, shades, awnings, aerials, or the like, visible
from outside the Premises; provided, however, that Tenant shall be granted the exclusive right to install signage (including on the monument and façade signage for the Building) consistent with any existing signage program then currently
existing within the center containing the Building (provided that such signage is reviewed and approved in advance in writing by Landlord and the City of Fremont, and Landlord’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed). The costs associated with the purchase, installation, maintenance and eventual removal (upon expiration of the term of this Lease if requested by Landlord at the time of Landlord’s approval of said signage) of such signage shall be
borne exclusively by Tenant. All signage shall conform to all applicable laws. 
 6.2.7 Oil and Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall
not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld by Landlord in its sole discretion: introduce on or transfer to the Premises or Property, any Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined); dump, flush or otherwise
dispose of any Hazardous Materials into the drainage, sewage or waste disposal systems serving the Premises or Property; generate, store, use, release, spill or dispose of any Hazardous Materials in or on the Premises or the Property, or transfer
any Hazardous Materials from the Premises to any other location; or commit or suffer to be committed in or on the Premises or Property any act which would require any reporting or filing of any notice with any governmental agency pursuant to any
statutes, laws, codes, ordinances, rules or regulations, present or future, applicable to the Property or to Hazardous Materials. Tenant agrees that, if permitted by Landlord, Tenant’s use, generation or storage of Hazardous Materials in or on
the Premises or Property shall comply with all Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to use and store within the Premises de minimus quantities of cleaning fluids, office supplies and
similar substances and materials typically used for general office purposes, which may be classified as Hazardous Materials, so long as such substances and materials are used, stored and removed in accordance with all Environmental Laws. 

Unless otherwise permitted by Landlord, Tenant agrees that if it shall generate, store, release, spill, dispose of or transfer to the Premises
or Property any Hazardous Materials, it shall forthwith remove the same, at its sole cost and expense, in the manner provided by all applicable Environmental Laws, regardless of when such Hazardous Materials shall be discovered. Furthermore, Tenant
shall pay any fines, penalties or other assessments imposed by any governmental agency with respect to any such Hazardous Materials and shall forthwith repair and restore any portion of the Premises or Property which it shall disturb in so removing
any such Hazardous Materials to the condition which existed prior to Tenant’s disturbance thereof. 

  
 25 














 Tenant agrees to deliver promptly to Landlord any notices, orders or similar documents
received from any governmental agency or official concerning any violation of any Environmental Laws or with respect to any Hazardous Materials affecting the Premises or Property. In addition, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of receipt,
accurately complete any questionnaires from Landlord or other informational requests relating to Tenant’s use of the Premises and, in particular, to Tenant’s use, generation, storage and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials at, to, or from
the Premises. 
 Tenant shall indemnify, defend (by counsel satisfactory to Landlord), protect, and hold Landlord free and harmless from and
against any and all claims, or threatened claims, including without limitation, claims for death of or injury to any person or damage to any property, actions, administrative proceedings, whether formal or informal, judgments, damages, punitive
damages, liabilities, penalties, fines, costs, taxes, assessments, forfeitures, losses, expenses, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements, consultant
fees, and expert fees that arise from or are caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by (a) Tenant’s use, analysis, storage, transportation, disposal, release, threatened release, discharge or generation of Hazardous Materials
to, in, on, under, about or from the Premises, or (b) Tenant’s failure to comply with any Environmental Laws. Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall include, without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs
(including, without limitation, capital, operating and maintenance costs) incurred in connection with any investigation or monitoring of site conditions, repair, cleanup, containment, remedial, removal or restoration work, or detoxification or
decontamination of the Premises, and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial action or other required plans in connection therewith. For purposes of this Section 6.2.7, any acts or omissions of Tenant, or its subtenants or
assignees or its or their employees, agents, or contractors (whether or not they are negligent, intentional, willful or unlawful) shall be attributable to Tenant. 

Landlord represents that, to Landlord’s knowledge, (i) Hazardous Materials have not been used, generated, manufactured, produced,
stored, released, discharged or disposed of on, under or about the Property or transferred to or from the Property, except in material compliance with Environmental Laws and (ii) Landlord has not received any notice from any governmental
authority that Hazardous Materials are present in, on or under the Property in violation of Environmental Laws. Landlord shall comply with all Environmental Laws in its operation of the Property. So long as not caused by Tenant or any subtenant of
Tenant or any of its or their agents, contractors, employees or invitees, Landlord shall, in a manner that complies with all Environmental Laws, remove, transport and dispose of any Hazardous Material and perform all remediation and cleanup of the
Premises, the Building and Property necessary to cause the Property to comply in all material respects with Environmental Laws. Except to the extent caused by Tenant or any subtenant of Tenant or any of its or their agents, contractors, employees or
invitees, Tenant shall not be liable for the removal or remediation of any Hazardous Materials that are discovered on, under or about the Premises during the completion of the Landlord Improvements prior to the Commencement Date. 

The term “Hazardous Materials” shall mean and include any oils, petroleum products, asbestos, radioactive, biological,
medical or infectious wastes or materials, and any other toxic or hazardous wastes, materials and substances which are defined, determined or identified as such in any Environmental Laws, or in any judicial or administrative interpretation of
Environmental Laws. 

  
 26 














 The term “Environmental Laws” shall mean any and all federal, state and
municipal statutes, laws, regulations, ordinances, rules, judgments, orders, decrees, codes, plans, injunctions, permits, concessions, grants, franchises, licenses, agreements or other governmental restrictions relating to the environment or to
emissions, discharges or releases of pollutants, contaminants, petroleum or petroleum products, medical, biological, infectious, toxic or hazardous substances or wastes into the environment including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water,
ground water or land, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of pollutants, contaminants, petroleum or petroleum products, medical, biological, infectious, toxic
or hazardous substances or wastes or the cleanup or other remediation thereof. 
 ARTICLE 7 

Casualty or Taking 
 7.1
Termination. In the event that the Premises or the Property, or any material part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or casualty, shall be taken by any public authority or for any public use or shall be condemned by the action of
any public authority, then the term of this Lease may be terminated at the election of Landlord. Such election, which may be made notwithstanding the fact that Landlord’s entire interest may have been divested, shall be made by the giving of
notice by Landlord to Tenant not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the taking or casualty. 
 In the event
that any material portion of the Premises is made unusable for the conduct of Tenant’s business due to a taking or condemnation by any public authority (other than temporarily for a period of less than one hundred eighty (180) days), then
the term of this Lease may be terminated at the election of Tenant by the giving of notice by Tenant to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the date of the taking or condemnation. In the event any material part of the Premises shall be
destroyed or damaged or shall be made inaccessible or untenantable by fire or other casualty (and Landlord has not elected to terminate the term of this Lease pursuant to the preceding paragraph), then within a reasonable time after the occurrence
of such casualty damage, Landlord shall give Tenant a notice (the “Restoration Notice”) advising Tenant whether or not Landlord intends to restore the Premises and access thereto to a condition substantially the same as existed
immediately prior to such damage (subject to any modification required by then current laws, rules, regulations and ordinances and excluding any improvements to the Premises made by or on behalf of Tenant) and if Landlord intends to so restore, of
the time required to substantially complete such work, as reasonably estimated by an architect or general contractor selected by Landlord. If the Restoration Notice indicates either that (a) Landlord shall not restore the Premises as provided
above, or (b) the estimated time required for Landlord to substantially complete such restoration work shall exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days from the occurrence of such casualty damage or the number of days which as of the date of
the casualty constitutes more than half of the then remainder of the term of this Lease, whichever period is shorter, Tenant may elect to terminate the term of this Lease by giving notice to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days after the
date on which Landlord gives Tenant the Restoration Notice. Tenant may also elect to terminate the term of 

  
 27 














 
this Lease by notice to Landlord if Landlord shall not have caused the restoration work to have been substantially completed on or before the date thirty (30) days after the date identified
therefor in the Restoration Notice, subject to extension for force majeure events, whereupon the term of this Lease shall terminate thirty (30) days following the date of such notice, unless Landlord substantially completes such restoration
work within such thirty (30)-day period, in which case such notice of termination shall be a nullity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to terminate the term of this Lease due to a fire
or other casualty if the cause thereof was due to the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or any subtenant of Tenant or any agent or employee of Tenant or its subtenant(s). 

7.2 Restoration. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to the terms of Section 7.1, this Lease shall continue
in force and (so long as the damage is not caused by the negligence or other wrongful act of Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees) a just proportion of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent for Taxes and Operating Costs,
according to the nature and extent of the damages sustained by the Premises, shall be suspended or abated until the Premises (excluding any improvements to the Premises made at Tenant’s expense), or what may remain thereof, shall be put by
Landlord in proper condition for use, which Landlord covenants to do with reasonable diligence to the extent permitted by the net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages awarded for such destruction, taking, or condemnation and subject to zoning
and building laws or ordinances then in existence. “Net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages awarded” means the gross amount of such insurance or damages actually made available to Landlord (and not retained by any Superior
Lessor (as hereinafter defined) or Superior Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined)) less the reasonable expenses of Landlord incurred in connection with the collection of the same, including without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses for legal and
appraisal services. 
 7.3 Award. Irrespective of the form in which recovery may be had by law, all rights to seek reimbursement for
damages or compensation arising from fire or other casualty or any taking by eminent domain or condemnation shall belong to Landlord in all cases. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord all of Tenant’s rights to such claims for damages and
compensation and covenants to deliver such further assignments thereof as Landlord may from time to time request. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent Tenant from prosecuting in any condemnation proceedings a claim for relocation
expenses, provided that such action shall not affect the amount of compensation otherwise recoverable by Landlord from the taking authority. 

ARTICLE 8 
 Defaults

 8.1 Default of Tenant. (a) If Tenant shall default in its obligations to pay the Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent or
any other charges under this Lease when due or shall default in complying with its obligations under Subsection 6.1.11 of this Lease and if any such default shall continue for five (5) days after written notice from Landlord designating such
default, or (b) if as promptly as possible but in any event within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying any default or defaults other than those set forth in clause (a) Tenant has not cured the
default or defaults so specified, or if such default is of such a nature that it cannot be cured 

  
 28 














 
within thirty (30) days, if Tenant does not commence the curing of such default within such thirty (30)-day period and thereafter diligently and
continuously prosecute such cure to completion as soon as possible, but in no event later than sixty (60) days from the date of Landlord’s notice to Tenant specifying the default, then, and in any of such cases indicated in clauses
(a) and (b) hereof (collectively and individually, a “Default of Tenant”), Landlord may, in addition to and not in derogation of any remedies for any preceding breach of covenant, acting through its employees, agents or
servants, immediately or at any time thereafter, terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant in the manner provided in Section 10.1, and shall have the immediate right to re-enter and repossess the Premises,
whereupon on the date specified in such notice, the term of this Lease and all of Tenant’s rights and privileges under this Lease shall expire and terminate but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. 

8.2 Remedies. In the event Landlord shall elect to re-enter pursuant to Section 8.1, or in
the event Landlord shall take possession of the Premises pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by law, and should Landlord elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant: 

(a) the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable hereunder which are due,
owing and unpaid by Tenant to Landlord at the time of termination; and 
 (b) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which
(i) the unpaid Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable hereunder which would have been earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds (ii) the amount of such rental loss for such period that Tenant proves
could have been reasonably avoided; and 
 (c) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which (i) the unpaid Annual Fixed
Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable hereunder for the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of such award exceeds (ii) the amount of such rental loss for such period that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and

 (d) all other amounts 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 events are likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements) of recovering possession of the
Premises, removing persons or property from the Premises, repairs, brokers’ fees, advertising and alterations to the Premises in connection with reletting the Premises; and 

(e) at Landlord’s election, other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the above as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.

 All computations of the worth at the time of amounts recoverable by Landlord under clauses (a), (b), and (d) shall be computed by
allowing interest at the Default Rate. The worth at the time of award recoverable by Landlord under clause (c) above shall be computed by discounting the amount otherwise recoverable by Landlord at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank
of San Francisco plus one percent (1%). 

  
 29 














 If the Premises or any part of the Premises are vacated or abandoned (except with
Landlord’s prior written consent or in connection with the performance of any alterations approved pursuant to Section 6.2.5), or if Landlord takes possession of the Premises pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided
by applicable law, and if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, recover all Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable hereunder as it becomes due, and at
Landlord’s election, relet the Premises or any part of the Premises upon such terms, at such rent, upon such conditions and for such a period of time as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Landlord shall also have the right to
make such alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its sole judgment considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting the Premises; and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not
operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Landlord shall apply to any unpaid amounts due Landlord hereunder the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises, after deducting all expenses in connection
therewith, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements, advertising, expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparing the Premises for
such reletting. Tenant hereby waives all right to receive all or any portion of the net proceeds of any such reletting. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Premises, or, in the event that the Premises
are relet, for failure to collect the rent under such reletting. 
 In the event of a Default of Tenant, Landlord may, at its option,
enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable hereunder as it becomes due hereunder. Additionally, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from
Tenant all costs of maintenance and preservation of the Premises, and all costs, including out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursement, to protect the
Premises and Landlord’s interest under this Lease. 
 At any time after a Default of Tenant occurs, Landlord may re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. No re-entry into the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this paragraph shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption or relief from forfeiture under
California Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179, or any other present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of
any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease. 
 Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to
prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the
damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above. 

  
 30 














 8.3 Remedies Cumulative. Except as expressly provided otherwise in Section 8.2,
any and all rights and remedies which Landlord may have under this Lease, and at law and equity (including without limitation actions at law for direct, indirect, special and consequential (foreseeable and unforeseeable) damages), for Tenant’s
failure to comply with its obligations under this Lease shall be cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent with each other, and any two or more of all such rights and remedies may be exercised at the same time insofar as permitted by law. 

8.4 Landlord’s Right to Cure Defaults. At any time with or without notice, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be
required, to pay such sums or do any act which requires the expenditure of monies which may be necessary or appropriate by reason of the failure or neglect of Tenant to comply with any of its obligations under this Lease (irrespective of whether the
same shall have ripened into a Default of Tenant), and in the event of the exercise of such right by Landlord, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord forthwith upon written demand, as Additional Rent, all such sums including reasonable attorneys’
fees, costs and disbursements, together with interest thereon at a rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to ten percent (10%). 
 8.5
Holding Over. Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration or early termination of the term of this Lease without Landlord’s prior written approval shall be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rental rate equal one hundred
fifty percent (150%) of the sum of the Annual Fixed Rent in effect immediately prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the term plus Additional Rent and other charges herein provided (prorated on a daily basis). Tenant shall also pay to
Landlord all damages, direct and/or consequential (foreseeable and unforeseeable), sustained by reason of any such holding over, provided that Tenant shall not be liable for consequential damages unless Tenant shall hold over for more than forty
five (45) days. Otherwise, all of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Tenant applicable during the term of this Lease shall apply and be performed by Tenant during such period of holding over as if such period were part of the term of
this Lease. 
 8.6 Effect of Waivers of Default. Any consent or permission by Landlord to any act or omission by Tenant shall not be
deemed to be consent or permission by Landlord to any other similar or dissimilar act or omission and any such consent or permission in one instance shall not be deemed to be consent or permission in any other instance. 

8.7 No Waiver, Etc. The failure of Landlord or Tenant to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of,
any covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by
Landlord of rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed to have been a waiver of such breach by Landlord, or by Tenant, unless such waiver is in writing signed by the party to be charged. No consent or waiver,
express or implied, by Landlord or Tenant to or of any breach of any agreement or duty shall be construed as a waiver or consent to or of any other breach of the same or any other agreement or duty. 

8.8 No Accord and Satisfaction. No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other
charge then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such rent or charge due, nor shall any endorsement or 

  
 31 














 
statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent or other charge be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided. 

ARTICLE 9 
 Rights of
Mortgagees or Ground Lessor 
 This Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate to any ground or
master lease, and to any and all mortgages, which may now or hereafter affect the Building or the Property and/or any such lease. This Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of
such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any commercially reasonable instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the holder of any such mortgage or any of their respective successors in interest may
reasonably request to evidence such subordination. Any lease to which this Lease is subject and subordinate is herein called “Superior Lease” and the lessor of a Superior Lease or its successor in interest, at the time referred to,
is herein called “Superior Lessor”. Any mortgage to which this Lease is subject and subordinate is herein called “Superior Mortgage” and the holder of a Superior Mortgage is herein called “Superior
Mortgagee”. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee may, at its option, subordinate the Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage of which it is the lessor or holder to this Lease by giving Tenant
ten (10) days prior written notice of such election, whereupon this Lease shall, irrespective of dates of execution, delivery and recording, be superior to such Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage and no other documentation shall be necessary
to effect such change. As of the date hereof, there is no Superior Mortgage. 
 If any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee or the nominee
or designee of any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, or otherwise (except pursuant to the last
sentence of the preceding paragraph), then at the written request of such party so succeeding to Landlord’s rights (herein called “Successor Landlord”) and upon such Successor Landlord’s written agreement to accept
Tenant’s attornment, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any commercially reasonable instrument that such Successor Landlord may
reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in
this Lease, and Tenant’s possession and this Lease shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, except that the Successor Landlord (unless formerly the landlord under this Lease)
shall not be (a) liable in any way to Tenant for any act or omission, neglect or default on the part of Landlord under this Lease except for curing any continuing repair and maintenance defaults and that Successor Landlord shall be required to
perform all obligations of Landlord under this Lease attributable to any period after Successor Landlord succeeds to the interest of Landlord, (b) responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with Landlord to the credit of Tenant except to
the extent such monies are actually delivered to the Successor Landlord, (c) subject to any counterclaim or setoff 

  
 32 














 
which theretofore accrued to Tenant against Landlord, (d) bound by any modification of this Lease subsequent to such Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage, or by any previous prepayment of
Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent for more than one (1) month, which was not approved in writing by the Successor Landlord, (e) liable to Tenant beyond the Successor Landlord’s interest in the Property, or (f) required to
remove any person occupying the Premises or any part thereof, except if such person claims by, through or under the Successor Landlord. Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time to execute a commercially reasonable instrument in confirmation
of Tenant’s agreement to attorn, as aforesaid. 
 ARTICLE 10 

Miscellaneous Provisions 

10.1 Notices. Except as may be expressly provided herein otherwise, all notices, requests, demands, consents, approval or other
communications to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be in writing, shall be delivered by hand or mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by a nationally recognized courier service that provides a receipt for
delivery such as Federal Express, United Parcel Service or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail and shall be addressed as follows: if intended for Landlord, to the Original Address of Landlord set forth in Section 1.1 of this Lease (or to such
other address or addresses as may from time to time hereafter be designated by Landlord by notice to Tenant); and if intended for Tenant, addressed to Tenant at the Original Address of Tenant set forth in Section 1.1 of this Lease until the
Commencement Date and thereafter to the Premises (or to such other address or addresses as may from time to time hereafter be designated by Tenant by notice to Landlord). Notices shall be effective on the date delivered to (or the first date such
delivery is attempted and refused by) the party to which such notice is required or permitted to be given or made under this Lease. Notices from Landlord may be given by Landlord’s agent, if any, or Landlord’s attorney. Any bills or
invoices for Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent may be given by mail (which need not be registered or certified) and, if so given, shall be deemed given on the third business day following the date of posting. 

10.2 Quiet Enjoyment and Landlord’s Right to Make Alterations. Landlord agrees that upon Tenant’s paying the rent and
performing and observing the agreements, conditions and other provisions on its part to be performed and observed, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the term hereof without any manner of hindrance or
molestation from Landlord or anyone claiming under Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease; provided, however, Landlord reserves the right at any time and from time to time, without the same constituting breach of Landlord’s
covenant of quiet enjoyment or an actual or constructive eviction, and without Landlord incurring any liability to Tenant or otherwise affecting Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to make such changes, alterations, improvements, repairs or
replacements in or to the interior and exterior of the Building (including the Premises) and the fixtures and equipment thereof, and in or to the Property, or properties adjacent thereto, as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, and to change
(provided that there be no unreasonable obstruction of the right of access to the Premises by Tenant and that Landlord use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize, to the extent practical, any interference with the conduct of business at the
Premises) the arrangement and/or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, corridors or elevators of the Building and Property, provided such changes and alterations do not materially and adversely affect Tenant’s rights under
this Lease. 

  
 33 














 10.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THEM AGAINST THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE. 
 10.4 Lease not to be
Recorded; Confidentiality of Lease Terms. Tenant agrees that it will not record this Lease. Both parties shall, upon the request of either (and at the expense of the requesting party), execute and deliver a notice or short form of this Lease in
such form, if any, as may be acceptable for recording with the land records of the governmental entity responsible for keeping such records for the City of Fremont. In no event shall such document set forth the rent or other charges payable by
Tenant pursuant to this Lease; and any such document shall expressly state that it is executed pursuant to the provisions contained in this Lease and is not intended to vary the terms and conditions of this Lease. 

Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any press release or other similar public statement regarding this Lease without the prior approval
of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 10.5 Limitation of Landlord’s Liability. The term
“Landlord”, so far as covenants or obligations to be performed by Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners at the time in question of Landlord’s interest in the Property, and in the event
of any transfer or transfers of such title to said property, Landlord (and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be concurrently freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, without
any further instrument or agreement, of all liability with respect to the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed, it being intended hereby that the covenants and
obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord, shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and in respect of their respective period of ownership of such interest in the Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the acquisition of Landlord’s interest in the Property by a purchaser which, simultaneously therewith, leases Landlord’s entire interest in the Property back to Landlord, be treated as an
assumption by operation of law or otherwise, of Landlord’s obligations hereunder. Tenant shall look solely to such seller-lessee, and its successors from time to time in title, for performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder. The
seller-lessee, and its successors in title, shall be Landlord hereunder unless and until such purchaser expressly assumes in writing Landlord’s obligations hereunder. 

Tenant shall not assert nor seek to enforce any claim for breach of this Lease against any of Landlord’s assets other than
Landlord’s interest in the Property, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability or claim against Landlord under this Lease, it being specifically agreed that in no event whatsoever shall Landlord
ever be personally liable for any such liability. In addition, Landlord hereby notifies Tenant that the Declaration of Trust of Landlord provides, and Tenant agrees, that no trustee, officer, director, general or limited partner, member,
shareholder, beneficiary, employee or agent of Landlord (including any person or entity from time to time engaged to supervise and/or manage the operation of Landlord) shall be held to any liability,


  
 34 














 
jointly or severally, for any debt, claim, demand, judgment, decree, liability or obligation of any kind (in tort, contract or otherwise) of, against or with respect to Landlord or arising out of
any action taken or omitted for or on behalf of Landlord. Similarly, Landlord agrees that no trustee, officer, director, general or limited partner, member, shareholder, beneficiary, employee or agent of Tenant (including any person or entity from
time to time engaged to supervise and/or manage the operation of Tenant) shall be held to any liability, jointly or severally, for any debt, claim, demand, judgment, decree, liability or obligation of any kind (in tort, contract or otherwise) of,
against or with respect to Tenant or arising out of any action taken or omitted for or on behalf of Tenant, except pursuant to any guaranty of Tenant’s payment and performance obligations hereunder entered into by any such person or entity.

 10.6 Landlord’s Default. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in breach of, or in default in the performance of, any of its
obligations under this Lease unless it shall fail to perform such obligation(s) and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days, or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such breach or default, after
written notice has been given by Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature of Landlord’s alleged breach or default. Upon a Landlord default, Tenant may pursue whatever remedies it has at law or in equity or under the terms of this Lease
(including, without limitation, Tenant’s rights pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Lease). Landlord’s failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not be deemed an eviction of Tenant (constructive or actual), and Tenant
shall have no right to terminate this Lease for any breach or default by Landlord hereunder and no right, for any such breach or default, to offset or counterclaim against any rent due hereunder. In no event shall Landlord ever be liable to Tenant
for any punitive damages or for any loss of business or any other indirect, special or consequential damages suffered by Tenant from whatever cause. 

Where provision is made in this Lease for Landlord’s consent and Tenant shall request such consent and Landlord shall fail or refuse to
give or shall delay in giving such consent, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages for any withholding by Landlord of its consent, it being intended that Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance or injunction, and
that such remedy shall be available only in those cases where Landlord is expressly required not to withhold its consent unreasonably. 

10.7 Brokerage. Upon execution of this Lease by both parties, Landlord shall pay to Cushman & Wakefield U.S., Inc.
(“Broker”), a fee as set forth in a separate agreement between Landlord and Broker, for brokerage services rendered by Broker to Landlord and Tenant in connection with the execution of this Lease. Tenant represents and warrants to
Landlord, and Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant, that it has dealt with no broker or finder in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than Broker, and except as set forth in the preceding sentence. In the event of any other
brokerage claims, finder’s fees or similar claims or liens against either party or the Premises predicated upon or arising out of prior dealings with the other party, such other party agrees to defend the same and indemnify and hold the other
harmless against any such claim, and to discharge any such lien. 
 10.8 Intentionally Omitted. 

  
 35 














 10.9 Applicable Law and Construction. This Lease shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of California and if any provisions of this Lease shall to any extent be invalid, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has not made
and is not making, and Tenant, in executing and delivering this Lease, is not relying upon, any warranties, representations, promises or statements, except to the extent that the same are expressly set forth in this Lease or in any other written
agreement which may be made between the parties concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease and which shall expressly refer to this Lease. All understandings and agreements heretofore made between the parties are merged in this Lease
and any other such written agreement(s) made concurrently herewith, which alone fully and completely express the agreement of the parties and which are entered into after full investigation, neither party relying upon any statement or representation
not embodied in this Lease or any other such written agreement(s) made concurrently herewith. This Lease may be amended, and the provisions hereof may be waived or modified, only by instruments in writing executed by Landlord and Tenant. The titles
of the several Articles and Sections contained herein are for convenience only and shall not be considered in construing this Lease. The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease, or a
reservation of, or option for, the Premises, and Tenant shall have no right to the Premises hereunder until the execution and delivery hereof by both Landlord and Tenant. Except as herein otherwise provided, the terms hereof shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns, respectively, of Landlord and Tenant and, if Tenant shall be an individual, upon and to his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. If two or more persons or parties are
named as Tenant herein, (a) each of such persons or parties shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and Landlord may proceed against any one without first having commenced proceedings against any other of
them, and (b) any notices, requests, demands, consents, approvals or other communications delivered by Tenant under this Lease which are not executed by each person or party named as Tenant herein may be deemed void, if Landlord shall so elect.
Each term and each provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant shall be construed to be both an independent covenant and a condition and time is of the essence with respect to the exercise of any of Tenant’s rights under this Lease. The
reference contained to successors and assigns of Tenant is not intended to constitute a consent to assignment by Tenant. Except as otherwise set forth in this Lease, any obligations of Tenant (including, without limitation, rental and other monetary
obligations, repair and maintenance obligations and obligations to indemnify Landlord), shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. This Lease may be signed by electronic signature. 

10.10 Force Majeure. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease and except for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent, Additional
Rent or other sums due under this Lease (as to which this Section 10.10 shall not apply), where a period of time is prescribed in this Lease for any action to be taken by Landlord or Tenant, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable or
responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the computation for any such period of time, any delays due to any strike or other labor trouble, fire, flood or other casualty, breakage, accident, repairs, unusually severe weather, governmental
preemption of priorities or other controls in connection with a national or other public emergency, governmental moratoria, or inaction of governmental authority (or shortages of fuel, supplies or labor resulting therefrom), acts of God, acts of a
public enemy (including terrorist acts), war or insurrection, epidemic or pandemic, civil commotion, labor or 

  
 36 














 
transportation difficulties, inability to obtain supplies, impossibility or impracticability attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, or any other cause,
whether similar or dissimilar, beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be; provided, however that a party’s financial inability to perform its obligations shall in no event constitute force majeure, and nothing in
this paragraph shall excuse or delay Tenant’s obligation to pay any Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or other sums due under this Lease. 

10.11 California Specific Provisions. 

(a) Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that on or before the day hereof it has received from Landlord the disclosures required pursuant
Section 25402.10 of the California Public Resources Code. 
 (b) Landlord hereby acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, the Premises
has not been inspected by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). Tenant hereby acknowledges and understands that Landlord has made the foregoing statement in satisfaction of its disclosure obligations under Section 1938 of the California Civil
Code. A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not
require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or
tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. If Tenant requests to perform a CASp inspection of the Premises, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, retain a CASp approved by Landlord (provided that Landlord may designate the CASp, at
Landlord’s option) to perform the inspection of the Premises at a time agreed upon by the parties. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of any report or certificate issued by the CASp (the “CASp Report”) and,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly complete any modifications necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards identified in the CASp Report.
Tenant agrees to keep the information in the CASp Report confidential except as necessary for Tenant to complete such modifications.
