ARTICLE 4. OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT AND LANDLORD. 

4.1 Real Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay, within ten (10) days from the date Landlord submits to Tenant a statement setting forth the
amount due Landlord under the provisions of this paragraph, Tenant’s proportionate share of the real property taxes and assessments on the Demised Premises as additional rent hereunder, which shall be based on Landlord’s reasonable
estimation of such property taxes and assessments in light of the previous year’s actual taxes applicable to the building or buildings being assessed. Tenant’s proportionate share of such taxes and assessments shall be determined by
multiplying the total amount of such taxes and assessments by a fraction, the numerator of which is the floor area of the Demised Premises and the denominator of which is the total floor area of the applicable building or buildings being assessed.
Tenant shall pay one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant’s proportionate share of the estimated annual taxes in advance each month in addition to the minimum rental payment due hereunder. Landlord shall timely pay all taxes, and assessments lawfully
levied or assessed against the building or buildings or any part thereof; provided, however, that Landlord may, dispute and contest the same. Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, after it has paid in full its proportionate share of any taxes or
assessments due hereunder, upon delivery of written notice to Landlord, contest with the appropriate governmental authority such tax or assessment. Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of any tax or penalty paid by Tenant, or paid by Landlord and
reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord. (See Lease Rider “A” Building Expenses attached hereto and incorporated herein.) 
 4.2 Personal
Property Taxes. Tenant shall additionally pay, when due, all personal property taxes and license fees levied and assessed against the Demised Premises during the term of this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall require or be construed to
obligate Tenant to pay any franchise, excise, corporate, estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy or transfer tax of Landlord, or any income, profits or revenue tax upon the income of Landlord; provided, however, that in any case where a tax
may be levied, assessed or imposed upon Landlord for the privilege of renting or leasing the Demised Premises or which is based upon the rental revenue derived there from, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent hereunder the amount of said
tax, but in no event shall Tenant be obligated to pay an amount greater than that which would be payable if the Demised Premises were the only asset of Landlord. 

4.3 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall, during the entire term of this Lease, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, but for the mutual
benefit of Landlord and Tenant, maintain general public liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the entire property described on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and on, in or
about the adjoining streets and passageways, such insurance to afford protection to the limit of not less than $1,000,000 in respect to injury or death to a single person, and to the limit of not less than $2,000,000 in respect to any one accident,
and to the limit of not less than $250,000 in respect to property damage or a combined single limit policy not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence. All policies shall name Landlord and the mortgagee of the property as an additional named insured, as
their interest may appear. The initial mortgagee shall be State Farm Insurance Company. 

 Tenant shall also provide insurance coverage to the extent of the full replacement value covering
all of Tenant’s property, fixtures, equipment, tools, improvements, stock, goods, wares or merchandise, that it may have in or on or about the Demised Premises. 

Other forms of insurance may be reasonably required to cover future risks against which a prudent Tenant would protect itself. All policies of
insurance provided for herein shall be issued by insurance companies with a general policy holder’s rating of not less than A and a financial rating of AAA, as rated in the most current available “Best’s Guide” Insurance Reports,
and qualified to do business in the state of Utah. 
 The policies for the foregoing insurance shall provide that the proceeds thereof shall
be payable to Tenant and to Landlord, as their respective interests may appear. Said required Tenant insurance coverage shall be verified to Landlord by an insurance carrier in the form of either a copy of the policy or other written verification of
insurance coverage acceptable to Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord. Such insurance policies shall provide that Landlord be given thirty (30) days written notice prior to any cancellation or alteration of any policy. To the extent that
Tenant fails to provide the foregoing insurance, either hazard or liability, Tenant shall be responsible to Landlord, as his interest appears, for such damage that would have been insured by said policies but for Tenant’s failure to obtain such
insurance. 
 4.4 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall obtain and carry, throughout the terms of this Lease, fire, lightning, and
extended coverage (“all risk”) insurance and such additional insurance coverage as may be required by Landlord’s mortgagee (including “loss of rents” insurance) on the building, of which the Demised Premises is a part, for
the full replacement value thereof or such value as is required by Landlord’s mortgagee, whichever is greater, against such loss. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as additional rental hereunder, for Tenant’s proportionate share (determined
in the same manner as Tenant’s proportionate share of taxes and assessments herein above) of the costs of the insurance premium therefore within ten (10) days from the date Landlord submits to Tenant a statement setting forth the amount
due Landlord under the provisions of this paragraph. Tenant agrees that it will not at any time, during the term of this Lease, carry any stock of goods or do anything in or about the demised Premises, which will in any way tend to increase the
insurance rates upon the building of which the Demised Premises are a part. In addition to Tenant’s proportionate share of the costs of insurance premiums as described herein, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord forthwith upon demand the amount of
any increase in premiums for insurance against loss by fire that may be charged during the term of this Lease on the amount of insurance to be carried by Landlord on the building of which the Demised Premises are a part resulting from the foregoing
or from Tenant doing any act in or about said Demised Premises which does so increase the insurance rates, whether or not Landlord shall have consented to such act on the part of Tenant. If Tenant installs upon the Demised Premises any electrical
equipment which constitutes an overload on the electrical lines of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall at its own expense make whatever changes are necessary to comply with the requirements of the insurance

 
underwriters, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to constitute Landlord’s consent to such overloading. Tenant shall pay 1/12 of Tenant’s proportionate share of the estimated
annual building insurance premium in advance each month along with the minimum rental payment. “It is agreed that Landlord carries insurance for its own protection; Tenant is not a coinsured under Landlord’s own insurance nor a beneficiary
thereof.” (See Lease Rider “A” Building Expenses attached hereto and incorporated herein.) 
 4.5 Subrogation. Landlord and
any other tenants of the building shall not be liable to Tenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, including an insurance carrier or carriers, for any insurable loss or damage, and no such carriers shall have the right to subrogate
against Landlord, or any other Tenant. All of the insurance policies required hereunder pertaining to the Demised Premises shall contain an endorsement by the respective insurance carriers waiving any and all rights of subrogation against Landlord,
and any other tenant of the building, a copy of which endorsement or endorsements, or evidence thereof by way of certificate shall be furnished to Landlord. 

4.6 Assumption of Risk. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, after the commencement of the term as provided in Article 3, Tenant
assumes full risk of damage to its property, fixtures, equipment, tools, improvements, stock, goods, wares or merchandise, that it may have in or on or about the Demised Premises, resulting from fire, lightning, extended coverage perils, flood and
any catastrophe, regardless of cause or origin. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, including Tenant’s insurance carrier or carriers, for any loss or damage resulting from fire, lightning or
extended coverage perils or from an act of God. Landlord shall not be liable to the insurance carrier for damages insured against, either directly or by way of subrogation. 

ARTICLE 5. TENANT’S USE. Tenant may use the Demised Premises for: general office ,laboratory, manufacturing and distribution of
its related business. Tenant shall use the Demised Premises only for lawful and proper purposes, which are permissible under applicable law (including under applicable zoning laws). Tenant shall not make any use of the Demised Premises, which will
cause cancellation of any insurance policy covering the same and shall not keep or use on the Demised Premises any article, item, or thing that is prohibited by the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall not commit any waste upon the Demised Premises and
shall not conduct or allow any business, activity or thing on the Demised Premises which is or becomes unlawful, prohibited, or a nuisance or which may cause damage to Landlord, to occupants or other tenants in the vicinity, or to other third
parties. Tenant shall comply with and abide by all laws, ordinances, and regulations of all municipal, county, state and federal authorities which are now in force or which may hereafter become effective with respect to use and occupancy of the
Demised Premises. Tenant shall make no alteration or addition to the premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

Tenant represents to Landlord that neither Tenant nor any affiliates of Tenant will generate, store or dispose of any Hazardous Substances (as
defined below) at the Demised Premises and Property. 

 Tenant covenants with Landlord: a) not to generate, store or dispose of Hazardous Substances at
the Premises, b) to deliver promptly to Landlord true and complete copies of all notices received by Tenant from any governmental authority with respect to the generation, storage or disposal by Tenant of Hazardous Substances at the Premises or
Property; and c) to permit entry onto the Premises by Landlord or Landlord’s representative(s) at any reasonable time to verify Tenant’s compliance with the foregoing. Tenant agrees to indemnify and defend Landlord (with legal counsel
reasonably acceptable to Landlord) from and against any costs, fees or expenses (including, without limitation, cleanup expenses, third party claims and environmental impairment expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by
Landlord in connection with Tenant’s generation, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Substances at the Demised Premises in accordance with the foregoing and with Tenant’s compliance with the foregoing representations and covenants. This
indemnification by Tenant shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease. 
 “Hazardous Substances” shall mean i) hazardous
substances as defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended, ii) “PCBs”, as defined in 40 C.F.R. 761 et seq. and “TCDD” as defined in 40 C.F.R. 755 et seq. (or in either case

amended), and (iv) waste oils and other petroleum hydrocarbon compounds. 
 In the event Tenant’s business, or use of the demised
premises, should require the legal storing of barrels, drums and other storage containers, Tenant covenants with Landlord to provide Landlord no less often than every three (3) months with a complete and accurate list of all storage containers,
chemical inventories and quantities. Such inventory list shall be updated by Tenant to Landlord every quarter and certified as a true and correct inventory. 

Additionally, Tenant shall supply Landlord with a container and contents disposal plan reasonably acceptable to Landlord or in the alternative
(at Tenant’s election), a bond payable to Landlord to fund the disposal and discardment of all chemicals and/or storage containers located on or about the demised premises. Landlord shall use said bond in the event Tenant fails to properly
dispose of such containers and chemicals. 
 Tenant covenants with Landlord to store all chemical containers in a safe and secure manner
either inside the Demised Premises or within a secured fenced area, so as not to cause a nuisance to Landlord and other tenants in the proximity of the Demised Premises, and to prevent the unlawful infiltration of chemicals and container discardment
by others.

upon the Demised Premises (in a manner that will not unnecessarily interfere with the business of Tenant) during business hours at any time to inspect the same and to make necessary repairs to

fire, the elements or other casualty covered by the “all risk” insurance policy referred to herein above, Landlord shall promptly repair all damage and restore the Demised Premises to their condition immediately prior to the occurrence of
such damage. During the period of reconstruction referred to above, rent payable by Tenant shall ratably abate, based upon the percentage of the Demised Premises usable during reconstruction. 

If the Demised Premises shall be totally destroyed and/or shall it be determined that more than one hundred eighty (180) days will be
required to repair or rebuild the Demised Premises, both Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to the other within thirty (30) days of the occurrence at which time this Lease shall become null and
void.

any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, this Lease and all right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder shall cease and come to an end on the date of vesting of title
pursuant to such proceeding, or upon the date Tenant is dispossessed under an order of immediate occupancy, whichever first occurs. If less than all of the Demised Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental
law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, this Lease shall not terminate, but the rent payable hereunder during the unexpired portion of this Lease shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under all of the
circumstances. In any taking of the Demised Premises or any part thereof, whether or not this Lease is terminated as provided in this Paragraph, the parties hereto may claim and shall be entitled to receive an award or compensation therefore in
accordance with their respective legal rights and interests. 
 ARTICLE 15. DEFAULT IN PAYMENT OF RENT OR ABANDONMENT. In the event of
default by Tenant in the performance of its obligation to pay rent hereunder and after ten (10) days following Tenant’s receipt of a written notice thereof (specifying the total amount due), or in the event Tenant shall abandon the Demised
Premises without the continued timely payment of all applicable rental hereunder by Tenant, or in the event Tenant shall be adjudicated as bankrupt for the benefit of creditors, or enter into an arrangement or participate voluntarily or
involuntarily in any bankruptcy or related proceeding under Federal or State Law, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and to re-enter the Demised Premises or any part thereof in accordance with the applicable provisions and
requirements of Utah law; or Landlord, at his option, without terminating this Lease, shall have the right to re-enter the Demised Premises, with process of law, and sublet the whole or any part thereof for the account of Tenant upon as favorable
terms and conditions as the market will allow (Landlord acknowledging its duty under Utah law to mitigate its damages). In the latter event Landlord shall have the right to collect any rent which may thereafter become payable under such sublease and
to apply the same first to the payment of commercially reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in the 

 
dispossessing Tenant and in subletting the Demised Premises, and Landlord may charge interest at the rate equal to one percentage point higher than the prime bank rate of Zions Bank of Utah in
Salt Lake City, which rate shall vary from time to time as the prime bank rate varies, per annum on such expenses; and, second, to the payment of the rental herein reserved and the fulfillment of Tenant’s covenants hereunder, and Tenant shall
be liable for amounts equal to the installments of rent as they become due, less any amounts actually received by Landlord from a replacement tenant or subtenant and applied on account of rental as aforesaid. Landlord shall not be deemed to have
terminated this Lease by reason of taking possession of the Demised Premises unless written notice of such termination has been served on Tenant pursuant to applicable Utah law.

of this Lease other than as provided in the preceding Article, and if Landlord shall give to Tenant notice in writing of such default and if Tenant shall fail to cure such default within thirty (30) days after the date of Tenant’s receipt
of such notice, or if the default is of such a character as to require more than thirty (30) days to cure, and if Tenant shall fail to use reasonable diligence in curing such default then in such applicable event Landlord may cure such default
for the account of and at the cost and expense of Tenant plus interest at the rate equal to one percentage point higher than the prime bank rate of Zions Bank of Utah, in Salt Lake City, which rate shall vary from time to time as the prime bank rate
varies, per annum, and the sum so expended by Landlord and interest shall be deemed to be additional rent and on demand shall be paid by Tenant on the day when rent shall next become due and payable. Failure to pay any additional rent as provided in
this Article shall be deemed a failure to pay rent within the meaning of Article 15. 
 ARTICLE 17. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord
represents and warrants that it has full right and authority to enter into this Lease. Tenant, upon paying all rentals and performing all Tenant’s covenants, terms and conditions in this Lease, shall and may peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy
the Demised Premises for the term of this Lease. Tenant understands that other persons and entities conduct businesses or reside near the Demised Premises. Tenant covenants and agrees to conduct its business in such a manner as to not unreasonably
interfere with the occupants of surrounding properties. 
 ARTICLE 18. WAIVER. No delay or omission by either party hereto to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any non-compliance or default by the other party with respect to any of the terms hereof shall impair any such right or power to be construed to be a waiver thereof. Subject to the provisions of this
Article, every such right and power may be exercised at anytime during the continuance of such default. It is further agreed that a waiver by either of the parties hereto of any of the covenants and agreements hereof to be performed by the other
shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any other covenants or agreements herein contained.

provisions and/or rights hereunder or to recover damages for breach hereof, the unsuccessful party to such litigation covenants and agrees to pay to the successful party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred

approval shall be null and void and of no force and effect whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof to an Affiliate (defined below) of Tenant without Landlord’s
consent but with reasonable advance written notice to Landlord. As used herein, an “Affiliate” shall mean any person or entity, which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant. 

ARTICLE 23. SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT. This Lease shall be considered to be the only agreement between the parties hereto. All
negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both parties are included therein. 
 ARTICLE 24. OBLIGATIONS OF SUCCESSORS. Landlord
and Tenant agree that all of the provisions hereof are to be construed as covenants and agreements as though the words importing such covenants and agreements were used in each separate paragraph hereof, and that all of the provisions hereof shall
bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. 

ARTICLE 25. HOLD OVER. If, at the expiration or termination of this Lease or any extension thereof, Tenant shall hold over for any
reason, if Landlord consents to the holding over, the tenancy of Tenant thereafter shall be from month to month only (terminable by either party by written notice as provided by applicable Utah law) and shall, in the absence of a written agreement
to the contrary, be subject to all the other terms and conditions of this Lease with the monthly rental adjusted to One Hundred Ten Percent (110%) of the monthly rental for the last month of the primary Lease term or subsequent Lease renewal
term. 
 ARTICLE 26. PARKING. The plans and specifications for the construction of the Demised Premises, as approved by the parties,
depict adjacent parking for the non-exclusive use of Tenant. Such parking and maintenance thereof shall be the sole responsibility of and remain under the control of Landlord (subject to reimbursement of common area maintenance as hereinafter set
forth) and Landlord shall have the right from time to time to publish commercially reasonable non-discriminatory regulations for use of the parking, with which regulations Tenant covenants to comply. 

ARTICLE 27. DEVELOPMENT. The parties acknowledge that Exhibit “A” hereto contains a proposed site plan for Landlord’s
entire construction project to be known as Great Lakes Business Park (hereinafter referred to as the “Development”). Tenant acknowledges that the site plan for the Development is subject to change and that Landlord may construct the
Development in a totally different configuration or may not develop certain portions except for Tenant’s Parking. During or after construction of the Development, Landlord reserves the right to sell the Development or portions thereof as
developed with buildings or as undeveloped property. The parties understand that in the event of Landlord’s sale of portions of the property developed as an integral part of the Development, prior to such sale, Landlord shall place cross
easement, access and parking easements, suitable to 

 
Landlord upon released and unreleased portions of the Development to facilitate its continued integral use. Common Area Maintenance provisions contained in the next immediate paragraphs of this
Lease shall be unaffected by any such partial sale and Landlord shall exercise his best efforts to ensure the parking and common areas of the entire Development, as built, will be under common management. 

ARTICLE 28. COMMON AREAS. Areas within the outer property lines of the Development as delineated on the plat attached hereto marked
Exhibit “A”, exclusive of areas therein specified or as built for leasing to tenants shall be known as Common Areas, as shall all other areas from time to time designated by Landlord for use as part of the Development. Landlord covenants
and agrees at its sole cost and expense to improve said Common Areas by installing and constructing thereon parking lots, access roads, pedestrian walkways, sidewalks, exterior canopies, delivery and landscaped areas and lighting facilities to the
extent to which Landlord shall determine to be necessary. Said Common Areas shall be available for the common use of all Landlord’s tenants in the Development, their employees, customers and invitees. Notwithstanding anything elsewhere herein
contained, Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make reasonable changes in, additions to and deletions from the Common Areas and the purposes to which the same may be devoted, and the use of Common Areas shall at all times be subject to
such reasonable rules and regulations as may be promulgated by Landlord. 
 ARTICLE 29. COMMON AREA MAINTENANCE. Landlord will
maintain or cause to be maintained the Common Areas and Tenant will reimburse Landlord for Tenant’s prorata share of the cost of such maintenance as hereinafter provided. 

(a) Common area maintenance costs and expenses shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently
applied and allocated to any particular calendar year on the accrual method of accounting. Such costs and expenses shall include, but shall not be limited to upkeep, exterior painting, repairs, replacements and improvements in the Common Areas, snow
removal, sweeping and cleanup, depreciation allowance on any machinery and equipment owned by Landlord and used in connection therewith, utility services including fire line water service charges, premiums for public liability, property damage and
fire insurance including the Common Areas, any real estate tax and/or tax consultant expense incurred for the purpose of maintaining equitable tax assessments on the Development, all property taxes or assessments levied or assessed against all
Common Areas, which, if not separately assessed, shall be determined, for land, by the ratio of land area designated for Common Area use to the total land area in the Development and, for improvements, on a fair and equitable allocation among the
various improvements in the Development, giving weight to the factors which determine the amount of the real property tax or assessment in question. In addition, such costs shall include administrative costs equal to ten percent (10%) of the
total cost paid or incurred by Landlord under this paragraph. 
 (b) Tenant shall pay as additional rent to Landlord, Tenant’s prorata
share of such Common Area expenses in the following manner: 
 (1) From and after the date the minimum rental provided for
herein has commenced, but subject to adjustment as hereinafter in this subparagraph (1) provided, Tenant shall pay 

 
Landlord in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Lease an estimated and adjustable amount covering Tenant’s proportionate share of common area services and
expenses, which amount may be adjusted by Landlord by notice to Tenant at the end of any calendar month on the basis of Landlord’s experience and reasonably anticipated costs. (See Lease Rider “A” Building Expenses attached hereto and
incorporated herein.) 
 (2) Within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish
Tenant a statement covering the calendar year just expired, showing the total operating costs, the amount of Tenant’s prorata share of such Common Area expenses for such calendar year and the payments made by Tenant with respect to such
calendar year as set forth in subparagraph (b) I. If Tenant’s prorata share of such Common Area expenses exceeds Tenant’s payments so made, Tenant shall pay Landlord the deficiency within ten (10) days after receipt of such
statement. If said payments exceed Tenant’s prorata share of such Common Area expenses, Tenant shall be entitled to offset the excess against payments next thereafter to become due Landlord as set forth in said subparagraph (b) I.
Tenant’s pro-rata share of the total Common Area expenses for the previous calendar year shall be that portion of all such expenses which is equal to the proportion which the number of square feet of gross leasable area in the Demised Premises
bears to the total number of square feet of gross leasable area of buildings in the entire Development which are from time to time completed and occupied as of the commencement of each calendar year. 

There shall be appropriate adjustment of Tenant’s share of the Common Area expenses as of the commencement and expiration of the term of
this Lease. The term “Gross Leasable Area”, as used herein, shall be deemed to mean and include all fully enclosed areas for the exclusive use and occupancy by occupant, measured from the exterior surface of exterior walls (and from the
extensions thereof, in the case of openings), including warehousing or storage areas, clerical or office areas, mezzanines or the second levels of any spaces and employee areas. “Gross Leasable Area” shall not include docks, areas for
truck loading and unloading nor any utility and/or mechanical equipment vaults or rooms (to the extent such facilities lie outside exterior building lines). 

Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event Landlord or his designated agent do not maintain the entire common area in the
Development, then and in that event, for the length of time such condition may exist, Landlord’s responsibility shall only be towards the maintenance and repair of those portions of the Common Area not maintained by others, and the
“expense in connection with said common areas” shall only refer to such areas maintained by Landlord. In this event, Tenant’s proportionate share of the expenses shall be determined on the basis of the proportion of such expenses
which the number of square feet of gross leasable area in the Demised Premises bears to the total number of square feet of gross leasable area of buildings in the entire Development which are from time to time completed and occupied as of the
commencement of each calendar year, exclusive of the area occupied and maintained by others. 
 ARTICLE 30. SECURITY DEPOSIT. None
required. 

 ARTICLE 31. FORCE MAJEURE. In the event that either party hereto shall be delayed or
hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection, war or
other reason of a like nature not the fault of the party delayed in performing work or doing acts required under the terms of this Lease, then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of
any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay. The provisions of this Section shall not operate to excuse Tenant from prompt payment of rent or any other payments required by the terms of this Lease. 

ARTICLE 32. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Within twenty (20) business days after request therefore by Landlord, or in the event that upon
any sale, assignment or hypothecation of the demised premises and/or the land thereunder by Landlord, an estoppel statement shall be required from Tenant. Tenant agrees to deliver to any proposed mortgagee or purchaser, or to Landlord, in recordable
form a certificate certifying (if such be the case) that this Lease is in full force and effect and that there are not defenses or offsets thereto, or stating those claimed by Tenant. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have duly executed this Lease on the day and year first above written.

Agreement and the Note and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default
under any such federal or state statute, rule or regulation, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension,
revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization, or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.

 3.13. Related-Party Transactions. No employee,
officer, or director of the Company or member of his or her immediate family is indebted to the Company, nor is the Company indebted (or committed to make loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any of them. To the Company’s knowledge, none of
such persons has any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which the Company is affiliated or with which the Company has a business relationship, or any firm or corporation that competes with the Company, except that
employees, officers, or directors of the Company and members of their immediate families may own stock in publicly traded companies that may compete with the Company. No member of the immediate family of any officer or director of the Company is

3.14. Permits. The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses, and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as

any of such franchises, permits, licenses, or other similar authority. 
 3.15. Tax Returns and Payments. The Company has timely filed
all tax returns (federal, state and local) required to be filed by it. All taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns, any assessments imposed, and to the Company’s knowledge all other taxes due and payable by the Company on or before

on such assets, liabilities, financial condition or operations of the Company; 
 (ii) Any resignation or termination of any
officer, key employee or group of employees of the Company;

 3.18. Title to Properties and
Assets; Liens. The Company has good and marketable title to its properties and assets and good title to its leasehold estates, in each case subject to no mortgage, pledge, lien, lease, encumbrance or charge, other than (i) those resulting
from taxes which have not yet become 

  
 6 

 
delinquent, (ii) minor liens and encumbrances which do not materially detract from the value of the property subject thereto or materially impair the operations of the Company, and
(iii) those that have otherwise arisen in the ordinary course of business. With respect to the property and assets it leases, the Company is in compliance with the material terms of such leases and, to its knowledge, holds a valid leasehold
interest free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances other than to the lessors or such property of assets. All facilities, machinery, equipment, fixtures and other properties owned, leased or used by the Company are in good operating
condition and repair and are reasonably fit and usable for the purposes for which they are being used. 
 4. Lender’s Representations and
Warranties. As an inducement to the Company to issue the Series D Units, and to undertake the other duties and obligations arising under this Agreement, Lender represents and warrants as follows to the Company that: 

4.1. Authorization. Lender has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes its valid and
legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, and (iii) as limited by laws relating to the enforceability of voting agreements and arrangements.

 4.2. Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Lender hereby confirms, that the Series D Units to be received by Lender and the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for Lender’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof,
and that Lender has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, Lender further represents that Lender does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. 

4.3. Disclosure of Information. Lender believes it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding
whether to accept the Series D Units. Lender further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the Series D Units and the business, properties, prospects and
financial condition of the Company. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 3 of this Agreement or the right of Lender to rely thereon. 

4.4. Investment Experience. Lender is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able
to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Series D Units. Lender also
represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Series D Units. 
 4.5. Accredited Investor. Lender is an
“accredited investor” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect. 

4.6. Restricted Securities. Lender understands that the Securities it is acquiring are characterized as “restricted
securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without
registration under the Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, Lender represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

set forth above, Lender further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by this Section 4, provided and to the
extent this Section, the Investors’ Rights Agreement and the Voting Agreement, and such agreements are then applicable, and: 

(i) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is
made in accordance with such registration statement; or 
 (ii) Lender shall have notified the Company of the proposed
disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, Lender shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of
counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act. 
 4.8.
Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Securities may bear the following legend: 
 “THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
