accuracy or completeness of the Energy Disclosure Information; (ii) the Energy Disclosure Information is for the current occupancy and use of the Building and that the energy performance of the Building may vary depending on future occupancy
and/or use of the Building; and (iii) Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any errors or omissions in the Energy Disclosure Information. If and to the extent not prohibited by applicable laws, Tenant hereby waives any right Tenant may
have to receive the Energy Disclosure Information, including, without limitation, any right Tenant may have to terminate the Lease, as hereby amended, as a result of Landlord’s failure to disclose such information. Further, Tenant hereby

the Building (the “Tenant Energy Use Disclosure”). Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord with respect to any Tenant Energy Use Disclosure. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days following request from Landlord, disclose to Landlord all information requested by Landlord in connection with such Tenant Energy Use Disclosure, including, but not limited to, the amount of power
or other utilities consumed within the Premises for which the meters for such utilities are in Tenant’s name, the number of employees working within the Premises, the operating hours for Tenant’s business in the Premises, and the type and
number of equipment operated by Tenant in the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that this information shall be provided on a non-confidential basis and may be provided by Landlord to the applicable utility providers, the California Energy Commission
(and other governmental entities having jurisdiction with respect to the Energy Disclosure Requirements), and any third parties to whom Landlord is required to make any Tenant Energy Use Disclosure. Tenant hereby: (A) consents to all such
Tenant Energy Use Disclosures; and (B) acknowledges that Landlord shall not be required to notify Tenant of any Tenant Energy Use Disclosure. Tenant agrees that neither Landlord nor any direct or indirect partner, member, manager, shareholder,

relating to, arising out of and/or resulting from any Tenant Energy Use Disclosure. In addition, Tenant represents to Landlord that any and all information provided by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Section shall be, to the best of
Tenant’s knowledge, true and correct in all material respects, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall rely on such information.

discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). In addition, the following notice is hereby provided pursuant to Section 1938(e) 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. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to
correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.” In furtherance of and in connection with such notice: (i) Tenant, having read such notice and understanding Tenant’s right to request and obtain
a CASp inspection and with advice of counsel, hereby elects not to obtain such CASp inspection and forever waives its rights to obtain a CASp inspection with respect to the Premises, the Building, and/or the Project to the extent permitted by
applicable laws now or hereafter in effect; and (ii) if the waiver set forth in clause (i) hereinabove is not enforceable pursuant to applicable laws now or hereafter in effect, then Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows (which
constitute the mutual agreement of the parties as to the matters described in the last sentence of the foregoing notice): (A) Tenant shall have the one-time right to request for and obtain a CASp inspection,
which request must be made, if at all, in a written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord on or before the Second Extended Term Commencement Date; (B) any CASp inspection timely requested by Tenant shall be conducted (1) between the hours
of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on any business day, (2) only after ten (10) days’ prior 

  
 4 













 
written notice to Landlord of the date of such CASp inspection, (3) in a professional manner by a CASp designated by Landlord and without any testing that would damage the Premises, the
Building, or the Project in any way, (4) in accordance with all of the provisions of the Lease applicable to Tenant contracts for construction, and (5) at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, including, without limitation, Tenant’s
payment of the fee for such CASp inspection, the fee for any reports and/or certificates prepared by the CASp in connection with such CASp inspection (collectively, the “CASp Reports”) and all other costs and expenses in connection
therewith; (C) Landlord shall be an express third party beneficiary of Tenant’s contract with the CASp, and any CASp Reports shall be addressed to both Landlord and Tenant; (D) Tenant shall deliver a copy of any CASp Reports to
Landlord within two (2) business days after Tenant’s receipt thereof; (E) any information generated by the CASp inspection and/or contained in the CASp Reports shall not be disclosed by Tenant to anyone other than
(I) contractors, subcontractors and/or consultants of Tenant, in each instance who have a need to know such information and who agree in writing not to further disclose such information, or (II) any governmental entity, agency or other
person, in each instance to whom disclosure is required by law or by regulatory or judicial process; (F) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for making any improvements, alterations, modifications and/or repairs to or
within the Premises to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards, including, without limitation, any violations disclosed by such CASp inspection; and (G) if such CASp inspection identifies any improvements,
alterations, modifications and/or repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards relating to those items of the Building, and/or the Project located outside the Premises that are Landlord’s obligation to
repair as set forth in the Lease, then Landlord shall perform such improvements, alterations, modifications and/or repairs as and to the extent required by applicable laws to correct such violations, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost
of such improvements, alterations, modifications and/or repairs within ten (10) business days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor from Landlord. 

10.    Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each hereby represents and warrants to the other that it has had no dealings
with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Amendment, except for CBRE, Inc., representing Landlord (the “Broker”), and that it knows of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a
commission in connection with this Amendment. Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty by the indemnifying party in
connection with this Amendment.
