1. Provided no default exists at the time of such election and
Tenants financial condition is reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Tenant may renew this Lease for one (1) additional period of five (5) years on the same terms provided in this Lease (except as set forth below), by delivering binding
written notice of (Tenants Notice) the exercise thereof to Landlord not later than nine (9) months prior to the end of the Term described in the Amendment. On or before the commencement date of the extended
Term, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease extending the term on the same terms provided in this Lease, except as follows:

(a) The Base Rent payable for each month during each such extended term shall be as follows:



|                  |  |                          |       |          |   |          
|----------------- |  | ------------------------ | ----- | -------- | - | ---------
|Period:           |  | Rent per s.f. per Annum: |       | Monthly:

|10/1/23  9/30/24 |  | $                        | 15.07 |          | $ | 58,372.39

(b) Tenant shall
have no further renewal options unless expressly granted by Landlord in writing; and

(c) Landlord shall lease to Tenant the
Premises in their then-current condition, and Landlord shall not provide to Tenant any allowances (e.g., moving allowance, construction allowance, and the like) or other tenant inducements.

2. Tenants failure to timely deliver Tenants Renewal Notice shall be deemed rejection by Tenant of the Extension Option.

3. Tenants rights under this Exhibit shall terminate if (i) this Lease or Tenants right to possession of the
Premises is terminated, (ii) Tenant assigns any of its interest in this Lease or sublets any portion of the Premises (other than a transfer to an Affiliate), or (iii) Tenant fails to timely exercise its option under this Exhibit, time
being of the essence with respect to Tenants exercise thereof.
