 PART II. SUBLEASE 
  
 THIS SUBLEASE AGREEMENT (“Sublease”) is entered as of the Effective Date by and between Sublessor and Sublessee. The parties enter this Sublease
on the basis of the following facts, understandings and intentions: 
  
 A. Sublessor is presently a lessee of the Premises in the Building pursuant to the Master Lease by and between Landlord and Sublessor. A copy of the Master Lease with all exhibits and addenda thereto is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

  
 B. Sublessor desires to sublease the Sublet Space to Sublessee
and Sublessee desires to sublease the Sublet Space from Sublessor on all of the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth. 
  
 C. All of the terms and definitions in the above Basic Sublease Information and Defined Terms section are incorporated herein by this reference.

  
 NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and
promises of the parties, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  
 1. Sublease. Sublessor shall sublease to Sublessee, and Sublessee shall sublease from Sublessor, the Sublet Space for the Term upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions herein contained, together with a right to use the
Sublease Common Area, as set forth in Exhibit “____” a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. In addition, Sublessor shall lease to Sublessee, and Sublessee shall lease from Sublessor, any and all permanent
improvements (“Improvements”) on the Sublet Space constructed and/or owned by Sublessor, upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions herein contained. As used herein, “Sublet Space” shall include the Sublet Space and the
Improvements. 
  
 The Term shall commence upon the date when all
the following have occurred: (i) Sublessor and Sublessee shall have executed and delivered this Sublease; (ii) Sublessee shall have paid the Base Rent and Initial Operating Expenses as provided in Section 5 hereof and delivered the Security Deposit
to Sublessor as provided in Section 6 hereof; and (iii) Sublessor shall have received the written consent of Landlord to this Sublease as provided in Section 13 of the Master Lease. Promptly upon the occurrence of the foregoing, Sublessor and
Sublessee shall execute and deliver counterparts of a written confirmation of the actual Term Commencement Date and the actual Term Expiration Date in the form of Exhibit C hereto. 
  
 2. Condition of Sublet Space. 
  
 (a) Physical Condition. As of the Effective Date, Sublessee acknowledges that Sublessee shall have
conducted Sublessee’s own investigation of the Sublet Space and the physical condition thereof, including accessibility and location of utilities, improvements, existence of hazardous materials, including but not limited to asbestos, asbestos
containing materials, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and earthquake preparedness, which in Sublessee’s judgment affect or influence Sublessee’s use of the Sublet Space and Sublessee’s willingness to 

  

 -1- 

 
enter this Sublease. Sublessee recognizes that Sublessor would not sublease the Sublet Space except on an “AS IS” basis and acknowledges that
Sublessor has made no representations of any kind in connection with improvements or physical conditions on, or bearing on, the use of the Sublet Space. Sublessee shall rely solely on Sublessee’s own inspection and examination of such items and
not on any representations of Sublessor, express or implied. Sublessee further recognizes and agrees that neither Sublessor nor Landlord shall be required to perform any work of construction, alteration or maintenance of or to the Sublet Space.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessor shall deliver the Sublet Space to Sublessee in broom clean condition with all mechanical and electrical systems in good working order. Sublessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reconfigure the
security system to accommodate Sublessee’s portion of the Building. 
  
 (b) Further Inspection. Sublessee represents and warrants to Sublessor that as of the Effective Date Sublessee shall have examined and inspected all matters with respect to taxes, income and expense data,
insurance costs, bonds, permissible uses, the Master Lease, zoning, covenants, conditions and restrictions and all other matters which in Sublessee’s judgment bear upon the value and suitability of the Sublet Space for Sublessee’s
purposes. Sublessee has relied and will rely solely on Sublessee’s own inspection and examination of such items and not on any representations of Sublessor, express or implied. 
  
 3. Sublease Relationship to Master Lease. 
  
 (a) Inclusions. It is expressly understood, acknowledged and agreed that as between Sublessor and
Sublessee this Sublease includes and incorporates herein by this reference with the same force and effect as if duly set forth herein, all the terms, conditions and covenants of the Master Lease except for those provisions expressly excluded by
Section 3(c) hereof and those directly inconsistent with the express terms stated herein. 
  
 All such incorporated terms, conditions and covenants are and shall be construed as appropriately modified so as to be applicable only to
the subleasing hereunder by Sublessor of the Sublet Space and for the Sublease Term. 
  
 Subject to the foregoing, during the Sublease Term, Sublessee shall be subject to, bound by, and comply with the with all of the terms,
conditions and covenants of the Master Lease with respect to the Sublet Space and shall satisfy all applicable conditions of the Master Lease relating to the Sublet Space for the benefit of both Sublessor and Landlord. 
  
 For the purposes of this Sublease and relations between
Sublessor and Sublessee, it is understood and agreed that: wherever in the Master Lease the word “Tenant” appears, the word “Sublessee” shall be substituted; wherever the word “Landlord” appears, the word
“Sublessor” shall be substituted; wherever the word “Premises” appears in the Master Lease, the words “Sublet Space” shall be substituted; and that upon the breach of any of said terms, conditions or covenants of the
Master Lease by Sublessee or upon the failure of Sublessee to pay Rent or comply with any of the provisions of this Sublease, Sublessor may exercise with respect to Sublessee and the Sublet Space any and all rights and remedies granted to Landlord
by the Master Lease or this Sublease or otherwise available to Sublessor under applicable law. In the event of any direct conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this 

  

 -2- 

 
Sublease and the Master Lease, the express terms of this Sublease shall control as between Sublessor and Sublessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
term and/or condition of this Sublease, if exercised hereunder, would constitute a default under or breach of the Master Lease, this Sublease shall be deemed amended to comply or be consistent with the Master Lease. Capitalized terms not expressly
defined herein shall have the meanings stated therefor in the Master Lease. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is further understood and agreed that Sublessor has no duty or obligation or liability to Sublessee under the Master Lease as incorporated herein other than to perform the obligations
of Sublessor as Tenant under the Master Lease during the Term of this Sublease. Sublessor shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any representations or warranties made by Landlord under the Master Lease. 
  
 Whenever the provisions of the Master Lease incorporated
herein require the written consent or approval of Landlord, said provisions shall be construed to require the written consent of both Landlord and Sublessor. Anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, whenever the consent
or approval of Sublessor shall be required under the Sublease, Sublessee shall seek such consent or approval from Sublessor and Sublessor’s refusal to grant such consent or approval shall be deemed reasonable if Sublessor, as tenant under the
Lease, is required to obtain such consent or approval of Landlord and Landlord shall refuse or fail to grant such consent or approval. Sublessee hereby acknowledges that it has read and is familiar with and accepts as applicable to this Sublease all
the terms of the Master Lease except those expressly made inapplicable to this Sublease. Sublessee acknowledges agrees that this Sublease is subordinate and subject to all the terms and provisions of the Master Lease, including those not expressly
effective as between Sublessor and Sublessee with respect to the Sublet Space, and that any termination of the Master Lease thereunder shall likewise terminate this Sublease. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Sublease, Sublessor agrees not to terminate the Master Lease
voluntarily, or modify the Master Lease in a manner that adversely affects Sublessee’s rights under this Sublease. Sublessor and Sublessee will each refrain from any act or omission that would result in the failure or breach of any of the
covenants, provisions, or conditions of the Master Lease on the part of the tenant under the Master Lease. 
  
 (b) Time Requirements. For purposes of this Sublease and relations between Sublessor and Sublessee the time limits and requirements
stated in the Master Lease for the giving of notice, making of demands, performance of any act or covenant, satisfaction of any condition, or the exercise of any right, remedy or option are modified by lengthening or shortening the same in each
instance by five (5)) days, as appropriate, so that notices may be given, demands made, conditions satisfied or any act or covenant performed, or any right remedy or option exercised, by Sublessor or Sublessee, as the case may be, within the time
limit relating thereto provided in the Master Lease. In circumstances where the Master Lease allows only five (5) days or less for a party to take any of the foregoing actions, then the time permitted to a Sublessor or Sublessee hereunder, as the
case may be, shall be reduced by two (2) days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Sublease expressly states a particular time requirement for any matter addressed herein, that specific time requirement shall be controlling over the foregoing
timing conventions. 
  

 -3-

covenants for the benefit of Sublessee or the Sublet Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessor, upon written notice by Sublessee, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce all obligations of Landlord under the Master Lease with
respect to the Sublet Premises for the benefit of Sublessee. 
  
 5. Rent.

Operating Expenses. Upon execution hereof by Sublessee, Sublessee shall deliver to Sublessor cash or other immediately available funds in the amount of $ 133,426.00 representing Base Rent for the first full month of the Sublease Term plus
Estimated Operating Expenses for that month. Thereafter on the first (1st) day of January, 2001 and of each succeeding month during the Sublease Term, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor in advance and without being invoiced the full amount of
Sublessee’s Base Rent and Sublessee’s Estimated Operating Expenses for the following month. 
  
 The calculation, estimation, payment and adjustment of Sublessee’s Operating Expenses for the Sublet Space shall be subject to all
the provisions of Section 4 of the Master Lease, with the timing modifications stated in Paragraph 3C hereinabove. 
  
 In the event the first day of the Term shall not be the first day of a calendar month or the last day of the Term is not the last day of
the calendar month, the Base Rent and Estimated Operating Expenses shall be appropriately prorated based on the number of days in such month. All Base Rent and other amounts payable under this Sublease shall be delivered to Sublessor’s address
stated in Part I, hereof (Basic Sublease Information and Defined Terms), or at such other place as may be designated in writing from time to time by Sublessor, in lawful money of the United States and without deduction or offset for any cause
whatsoever.

(collectively, “Operating Expenses”). Sublessee’s Share of Operating Expenses shall be the product of all Operating Expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the square footage in the Sublet Space and the
denominator of which is the square footage of the rentable space of the Premises. As hereinafter

reimbursements payable by Sublessee hereunder. 
  
 (c) Late Payment Charges and Interest. Any payment of Rent or other amount from Sublessee to Sublessor in this Sublease which is not paid by the fifth (5th) consecutive calendar day from the due date shall accrue interest from the date due until the date paid at an annual rate of the lesser of twelve percent

 6. Security Deposit. Upon Sublessee’s execution hereof, Sublessee
shall deliver to Sublessor the Letter of Credit (“LOC”) Security Deposit and the Cash Security Deposit in the amounts described in Part I hereof (Sublease Basic Terms and Definitions). The Security Deposit shall secure Sublessee’s

respect to the Security Deposit. 
  
 (a)
Letter of Credit. The initial term of the LOC shall be for one year and shall thereafter renew automatically from year to year through the date which is thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Sublease or any extension hereto. The
express terms of the LOC shall provide that the issuing bank shall notify Sublessor in writing at least sixty (60) days in advance in the event that such issuing bank shall not automatically renew the LOC as described above and if Sublessee does not
provide a replacement LOC at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the existing LOC, Sublessor shall then be entitled to draw on the LOC as provided herein. The LOC shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Sublessor and shall be
issued by an LOC bank selected by Sublessee and reasonably acceptable to Sublessor. An LOC bank is a bank that accepts deposits, maintains accounts, has a local branch office and the deposits of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance

 (b) Replacement of Letter of Credit. Sublessee may, from time to time, replace any
existing LOC with a new LOC if the new LOC (i) becomes effective at least thirty (30) days before expiration of the LOC that it replaces; (ii) is in the required LOC amount; (iii) is issued by an LOC bank reasonably acceptable to Sublessor; and (iv)
otherwise complies with the requirements of this Paragraph 6. 
  
 (c) Sublessor’s Right to Draw on Letter of Credit. Sublessor shall hold the LOC as security for the performance of Sublessee’s obligations under this Sublease. If, after notice and failure to cure
within any applicable period provided in this Sublease, Sublessee defaults on any provision of this Sublease, Sublessor may, without prejudice to any other remedy it has, and after Sublessor first applies the cash security described in the Basic
Terms to any such Sublessee default, draw on that portion of the LOC necessary to (i) pay Rent or other sum in default, (ii) pay or reimburse Sublessor for any amount that Sublessor may spend or become obligated to spend in exercising
Sublessor’s rights under Paragraph 17 (Right to Cure Sub lessee’s Defaults); and/or (iii) compensate Sublessor for any expense, loss, or damage that Sublessor may suffer because of Sub lessee’s default. If Sublessee fails to renew or
replace the LOC at least thirty (30) days before its expiration, Sublessor may, without prejudice to any other remedy it has, draw on the entire amount of the LOC. 
  
 (d) LOC Security Deposit. Any amount of the LOC that is drawn on by Sublessor but not applied by
Sublessor shall be held by Sublessor as security deposit (the “LOC Security Deposit”) in accordance with Paragraph 6 of this Sublease. 
  
 (e) Restoration of Letter of Credit and LOC Security Deposit. If Sublessor draws on any portion of the LOC and/or applies all or
any portion of such draw, Sublessee shall, within five (5) business days after demand by Sublessor, either (i) deposit cash with Sublessor in an amount that when added to the amount remaining under the LOC and the amount of any LOC Security Deposit,
shall equal the LOC amount then required under this Paragraph 6; or (ii) reinstate the LOC to the full LOC amount in which case Sublessor shall return the LOC Security Deposit to Sublessee within ten (10) days of Sublessor’s receipt of the full
LOC. 
  
 (f) Application of Security
Deposit. If Sublessee defaults or fails to perform any of Sublessee’s obligations hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Sublessor may, but without any obligation to do so, and without prejudice to any other remedy
Sublessor may have, apply or credit all or any portion of the Security Deposit to any Rent or other sum in default; any amount Sublessor may spend in exercising Sublessor’s rights hereunder: or any expense, loss or damage Sublessor may suffer
because of Sublessee’s default or other performance failure. Sublessee agrees Sublessor may claim from the Security Deposit those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Sublessor for any other foreseeable or unforeseeable loss or damage caused
by the act or omission of Sublessee or Sublessee’s officers, 

  

 -6- 

 
agents, employees, independent contractors or invitees. Sublessee hereby waives the provisions of CCC Section 1950.7 and all other provisions of law now or
hereafter in force that are inconsistent with the provisions hereof with respect to application of security deposits. 
  
 If Sublessor does so credit or apply any portion of the Security Deposit, Sublessee’s failure to remit to Sublessor a sufficient
amount in cash to restore the Security Deposit to the original amount within ten (10) days after receipt of Sublessor’s written demand to do so shall constitute a material event of default. 
  
 (g) Return of Security Deposit to Sublessee. Although
the Security Deposit shall be deemed the property of Sublessor, following the end of the first full calendar month after expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, if Sublessee has then performed all of Sublessee’s obligations
hereunder (including all obligations under Section 16 [Sublessee’s Indemnity] and Section 19 [Holdover]), Sublessor shall return to Sublessee the Security Deposit, or whatever portion thereof remains after Sublessor’s application of all or
a portion thereof to satisfaction of Sublessee’s obligations hereunder, and other reductions therefrom provided for hereinabove. 
  
 7. Use. The Sublet Space shall be used as described in Section 5 of the Master Lease, and for no other purpose or business without the prior
written consent of Sublessor. In no event shall the Sublet Space be used for a purpose or use prohibited by the Master Lease. 
  
 8. Assignment and Subletting. As between Sublessor and Sublessee the provisions of Section 13 of Exhibit B hereto shall be applicable to any
sub-subletting, assignment, encumbrance or other transfer or attempted transfer of this Sublease or the Sublet Space or any portion thereof or interest therein, or any occupancy of any portion thereof by any persons other than Sublessee and its
employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sublessor consents to a Sub-sublease or assignment proposed by Sublessee, to the extent there is any Bonus Rents (Rent paid by such assignee or sub-subtenant in excess of Rent paid by Sublessee
hereunder), the Bonus Rent shall first be split per the Master Lease and any Bonus Rent to go to Sublessee shall be split 50/50 with Sublessor to be paid to Sublessor within five (5) days of receipt by Sublessee, minus Sublessee’s Permitted
Transfer Costs. 
  
 Sublessee shall not sell,
assign, encumber, pledge, Sub-sublease or otherwise transfer by operation of law or otherwise the Sublet Space or this Sublease or any portions thereof or interest therein, except in accordance with the provisions of such Section 13, this Section 8
and with Sublessor’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted sale, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, sublease or other transfer in violation of the terms of this Sublease shall be void and shall be of no
force or effect, and at the discretion of Sublessor shall be treated as a material event of default hereunder. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease, Sublessee may, with the prior written consent of Landlord but without
Sublessor’s prior written consent, sublet the Sublet Space or assign the Sublease to: (i) a subsidiary, affiliate, division or corporation controlling, controlled by or under common control with Sublessee; (ii) a successor corporation related
to Sublessee by merger, consolidation, nonbankruptcy reorganization, or government action; or (iii) a purchaser of substantially all of Sublessee’s assets located in the Sublet Space. 

  

 -7- 

 
The above is referenced hereafter as “Permitted Transfer”. For the purpose of this Sublease, sale of Sublessee’s capital stock through any
public exchange or issuances for purposes of raising financing shall not be deemed an assignment, subletting, or any other transfer of the Sublease or the Sublet Space. 
  
 9. Alterations. Sublessee shall not make or suffer to be made any alterations, additions or improvements
(collectively “Alterations”) in, on, or to the Sublet Space without the prior written consent of Sublessor which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any Alteration Sublessee is so permitted to make shall be made by Sublessee at
Sublessee’s sole cost and expense, and Sublessee shall notify Sublessor at least fifteen (15) business days in advance of the same, so that Sublessor may post appropriate notices of nonresponsibility. Upon the expiration or sooner termination
of this Sublease, Sublessee shall, upon demand by Sublessor, at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense, forthwith and with all due diligence, remove any Alterations made or paid for by Sublessee and Sublessee shall forthwith and with all due
diligence, at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense, repair and restore the Sublet Space to their original condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, Sublessee shall not be required to remove any
Alteration from the Sublet Space, if at the time of granting its consent to such Alteration, Sublessor and Landlord, as defined in the Master Lease, agree that at the Sublease Term Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Sublease that Sublessee
shall not have to remove such Alteration from the Sublet Space. 
  
 10. Repairs and Maintenance. Sublessee shall, at Sublessee’s sole expense, perform with respect to the Sublet Space all Sublessor’s maintenance and repair obligations as described in Section 6 of the Master Lease. Sublessee
shall keep, maintain, repair and replace all improvements in or to the Sublet Space, including, without limitation, all doors, subfloors and floor coverings, all plumbing, electrical wiring, ceilings, interior walls, interior surfaces of exterior
walls, signs, all heating and air conditioning systems, all fire sprinklers systems, all skylights, and other fixtures and equipment in good repair and in a clean and safe condition. Sublessee shall, at Sublessee’s sole expense, repair any area
damaged by Sublessee, Sublessee’s agents, employees and visitors. Sublessee acknowledges that Sublessor is under no duty to make repairs or improvements to the Sublet Space, and Sublessee hereby waives any right it may have at law or in equity
to enforce the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Landlord is obligated under the Master Lease to make any repairs in or to the Sublet Space, Sublessor, upon written notice by Sublessee, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to enforce any such obligation of Landlord. 
  
 11. Damage and
Destruction. 
  
 (a) Termination of Master

Landlord, such compensation as my be separately awarded or recoverable by Sublessee in Sublessee’s own right on account of any damage to Sublessee’s business by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or loss to which
Sublessee might be put in removing Sublessee’s merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment. 
  
 13. Insurance. All insurance policies required to be carried by Sublessee, pursuant to the Master Lease, shall contain a provision whereby
Sublessor and Landlord are each named as additional insureds under such policies. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, Sublessee shall be required to maintain public liability and property damage insurance with liability and property damage
limits of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) per occurrence. 
  
 14 Signs. Subject to Sublessor’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and Landlord’s reasonable discretion, Sublessee shall be entitled to have its name included in any
Building standard door and directory signage. Sublessee shall bear the cost of any such signage. Sublessee shall not have any of the other signage rights granted Sublessor in Section 15 of the Master Lease, unless Landlord and Sublessor otherwise
hereafter agree in a writing approved and executed by Sublessor, Sublessee and Landlord. Any such signage shall be at the sole expense of Sublessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessor hereby consents to Sublessee’s name being placed on
the Sublet Space’s main entrance doors, together with signage in the Sublet Space’s main lobby that contains Sublessee’s name, so long as such signage complies with all of the provisions of this Section 14. 
  
 15. Brokerage Commission. Sublessor and Sublessee represent and
warrant to each other that each has not dealt with any brokers, except as identified in Part I hereof (Sublease Basic Information) and with no other agent, finder, or other such person with respect to this Sublease and each agrees to indemnify and
hold the other harmless from any claim asserted against the other by any broker, agent, finder, or other such person not identified above in Part I hereof. Sublessor, at Sublessor’s sole cost, shall pay the brokers identified above in Part I
hereof pursuant to a separate agreement. 
  
 16.
Sublessee’s Indemnity. Sublessee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sublessor, its shareholders, directors, partners, employees, and agents, and Landlord, from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, suits,
judgments, awards, damages, losses, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, (including without limitation consequential damages, lost profits, reasonable Attorneys’ fees and court costs), that Sublessor, its directors, officers, shareholders,
partners, employees and agents, and Landlord may suffer, incur or be liable for by reason of or arising out of or related to the breach by Sublessee of any of the duties, obligations, liabilities or covenants applicable to or undertaken by Sublessee
hereunder (including without limitation those set forth in Section 19 below [Holdover], Sublessee’s occupancy or use of the Sublet Space, any alterations, additions or modifications made to the Premises by Sublessee or 

  

 -9- 

 
Sublessee’s negligence or willful misconduct provided however, the foregoing shall not apply to any willful or negligent acts of Sublessor or its
agents, employees or contractors. This indemnification shall survive expiration or termination of this Sublease. 
  
 17. Right to Cure Sublessee’s Defaults. If Sublessee shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other obligation of Sublessee
hereunder, then Sublessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, after the lesser of five (5) days’ notice to Sublessee after any applicable notice and cure period has expired or any shorter time period within which Landlord may act on
Sublessor’s behalf under the Master Lease, (or without notice to Sublessee in the case of any emergency), and without waiving or releasing Sublessee from any obligations of Sublessee hereunder, to make such payment or perform such other
obligation of Sublessee in such manner and to such extent as Sublessor shall deem necessary. In exercising any such right, Sublessor shall have the right to pay any incidental costs and expenses, employ attorneys and other professionals, and incur
and pay attorneys’ fees and other costs Sublessor deems reasonably necessary or prudent in connection therewith. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor upon demand all sums so paid by Sublessor and all incidental costs and expenses of Sublessor in
connection therewith, plus a fifteen percent (15%) administrative fee and interest on such sums, costs and expenses at the Interest Rate. 
  
 18. Surrender of Sublet Space. Sublessee shall, upon expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease, surrender the Sublet Space to Sublessor in
the same condition as existed on the date Sublessee originally took possession thereof, reasonable wear and tear and casualty damage excepted, including, but not limited to, all holes in walls repaired and free of any Sublessee-introduced marking or
painting, all originally painted interior walls washed and the other interior walls cleaned, and all carpets shampooed and cleaned, all floors cleaned and waxed, all to the reasonable satisfaction of Sublessor. Sublessee shall remove all of its
debris from the Sublet Space. If the Sublet Space is not so surrendered at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, the provisions of Paragraph 19 hereof shall apply. All keys to the Sublet Space or any part thereof shall be surrendered
to Sublessor upon expiration or sooner termination of the Term. Sublessee shall give written notice to Sublessor at least thirty (30) days prior to vacating the Sublet Space and shall meet with Sublessor for a joint inspection of the Sublet Space
for the purpose of confirming Sublessee’s obligations with respect to the surrender of the Sublet Space at the time of vacating, but nothing contained herein shall be construed as an extension of the Term or as a consent by Sublessor to any
holding over by Sublessee. In the event of Sublessee’s failure to give such notice or participate in such joint inspection, Sublessor’s inspection at or after Sublessee’s vacating the Sublet Space shall conclusively be deemed correct
for purposes of determining Sublessee’s responsibility for repairs and restoration. Any delay caused by Sublessee’s failure to carry out its obligations under this paragraph beyond the term hereof, shall constitute unlawful and illegal
possession of Sublet Space. 
  
 19. Holdover. This Sublease
shall terminate without further notice at the expiration of the Sublease Term. If Sublessee remains in possession of the Sublet Space or any part thereof after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, such holding over shall constitute a
tenancy at sufferance, and Sublessee shall pay as rent during the holdover period an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent due hereunder for the last month prior to the commencement of the holding over. 
  

 -10- 

 Sublessee’s obligations under this Section 19 shall be covered by the Sublessee’s indemnity
provided in Section 16 above and shall be secured by Sublessee’s Security Deposit. 
  
 Nothing herein shall be deemed or construed as Sublessor’s permission for Sublessees to hold over in the Sublet Space for any period of time. In no event shall acceptance of Base Rent by Sublessor following
expiration of termination of the Sublease constitute or be deemed a renewal of this Sublease. 
  
 20. Sublessor’s Option to Renew/Right of First Offer. 
  
 (a) Option to Renew. Sublessee shall have an option to renew the term of the Sublease, as follows: 
  
 (i) Grant of Option. Sublessor hereby grants to
Sublessee one (1) option to renew the Sublease for a term of three (3) years ten (10) months the “Renewal Option”). During the term of the Renewal Option, all provisions of this Sublease applicable to the initial term of this Sublease term
shall apply, except (a) the amount of Base Rent shall be the then current “Fair Market Rent” for the Sublet Space, as determined pursuant to Section 20(c) below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Renewal Option
is a right personal to Sublessee and any Permitted Transfer and may not be transferred to any successors or assigns of Sublessee without the prior written consent of Sublessor, which consent may be granted or withheld in Sublessor’s reasonable
discretion. 
  
 (ii) Exercise of Option.
Provided that Sublessee is not in default under the Lease (beyond any applicable cure period), in which case Sublessee shall have no right to exercise the Renewal Option, the Renewal Option shall be exercised by Sublessee’s delivery to
Sublessor of a written notice of Sublessee’s intention to exercise such Renewal Option, delivered not later than the third anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Notice of Exercise”). The failure of Sublessee to exercise the
Renewal Options as required by this Subsection 20(a)(ii) shall constitute Sublessee’s election to terminate this Sublease at the end of the then-current term of the Sublease, and Sublessor’s acceptance of any Rent subsequent to the
expiration of such Sublease term shall not constitute a waiver by Sublessor of the requirement that Sublessee timely exercise the Renewal Option in writing. 
  
 (b) Right of First Offer. Sublessee shall have a right of First Offer with respect to any space Sublessor plans to market in the
Premises (the “Available Space”), as follows; 
  
 (i) Grant of Right of First Offer. Provided Sublessee is not in default under this Sublease at the time Sublessee exercises the right of First Offer, Sublessor hereby grants to Sublessee a right of first offer
to Sublease the Available Space (“Sublessee’s Right of First Offer”). 
  
 (ii) Exercise of Sublessee’s Right of First Offer. Sublessor hereby agrees that, throughout the term hereof, Sublessor shall
provide Sublessee written notice (“Sublessor’s Offer Notice”) as soon as reasonably possible after Sublessor determines it intends to market all or any portion of the Available Space, describing the Available Space. In such event.
Sublessee’s Right of First Offer shall be exercised by Sublessee’s delivery to Sublessor, 

  

 -11- 

 
within five (5) business days following the receipt of Sublessor’s Offer Notice pursuant to the terms hereof (“Sublessee’s Acceptance
Notice”), stating that Sublessee agrees to lease the Available Space covered by Sublessor’s Offer Notice, under the terms and conditions of this Sublease, except that (i) the rate for Base Rent shall be the then Fair Market rent as
determined in Section 20(c); (ii) Sublessee’s Security Deposit shall be increased by an amount equal to the additional square footage of the Available Space multiplied by the table set forth below; and (iii) the length of the Term which shall
be applicable to the Available Space shall be the number of months then remaining in the then applicable Term of this Sublease. Sublessee’s failure to provide the Sublessee’s Acceptance Notice within such five (5) business day period shall
be conclusively deemed Sublessee’s election not to exercise Sublessee’s Right of First Offer as to the Available Space covered by Sublessor’s Offer Notice, and Sublessor shall be free to enter into a lease or leases with other tenants
for such Available Space. Sublessee shall be obligated to exercise Sublessee’s Right of First Offer as to all of the Available Space covered by Sublessor’s Offer Notice.

 (c)
For purposes of this Section 20, “Fair Market Rent” shall be determined as follows, but in no event shall it be less than a) the Base Rent plus increases then being paid by Sublessee for the Premises under the terms of this Sublease or b)
the Base Rent plus increases paid by Sublessee at the expiration of the then current Sublease, whichever is applicable. 
  
 (i) Fair Market Rent Defined. As used herein, Fair Market Rent shall mean the annual amount per square foot that a willing
comparable entity, renewal, expiration tenant would pay and a willing, comparable Landlord of a comparable class A office building in the Central San Mateo County office market, would accept at arm’s length, giving appropriate consideration to
annual rent rate per square foot, types of escalation clauses, the tenant’s utility requirements, brokerage commissions, if any, length of lease term, size and location of premises, and other generally applicable terms and conditions of
tenancy. 
  
 (ii) Procedure for Determining
Fair Market Rent. 
  
 (1) The Fair Market
Rent shall be determined by Sublessor and Sublessee within thirty (30) days after Sublessor receives Sublessee’s Notice of Exercise or Sublessee’s Acceptance Notice, as appropriate. If the parties are unable to agree on the Fair Market
Rent, they shall select an appraiser within ten (10) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) days following Sublessee’s Notice. If they are unable to select a single appraiser, each party shall select its own appraiser within ten (10)
days thereafter, and the two (2) appraisers shall 

  

 -12- 

 
meet promptly and attempt to determine the Fair Market Rent. If the two (2) appraisers are unable to agree, within thirty (30) days after their selection, on
a Fair Market Rent that varies less than ten percent (10%) (as among the two (2) appraisers, if the appraised Fair Market Rent varies by less than 10%, the 2 appraisals shall be averaged and such average shall be the Fair Market Rent), the two (2)
appraisers shall select a third (3rd) appraiser within ten (10) days following expiration of the thirty (30) days. The third (3rd) appraiser shall in all events be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either Sublessor or
Sublessee. If the two (2) appraisers are unable to agree on a third (3rd) appraiser (or if either party should within the time specified fail to appoint its appraiser), then either party, upon written application with ten (10) days’ prior
written notice to the other, may request such appointment be made by the then presiding judge of the Superior Court of the County of San Mateo acting pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.6. 
  
 (2) The determination of a majority of the appraisers shall
be binding upon the parties and shall be made not later than thirty (30) days following selection of the third (3rd) appraiser. If a majority of the appraisers are unable to set the Fair Market Rent within the stipulated period of time, the three
(3) appraisals shall be added together and their totals divided by three (3); the resulting quotient shall be such Rent. If, however, the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal are/is more than five percent (5%) lower and/or higher than the middle
appraisal, the low and/or high appraisal shall be disregarded. If only one (1) appraisal is disregarded, the remaining two (2) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by two (2); the resulting quotient shall be the Fair Market
Rent. If both the low appraisal and the high appraisal are disregarded, the middle appraisal shall be the Fair Market Rent. Each party shall bear the cost of the appraisers selected by it; the expenses of the third (3rd) appraiser shall be borne
one-half (1/2) by Sublessor and one-half (1/2) by Sublessee. 
  
 (iii) Qualifications of Appraiser. Any person selected as an appraiser under this Section 20 shall be a member in good standing of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or successor organizations and
shall have had at least five (5) years experience in appraising commercial real estate similar to the Building in the same general location. 
  
 21. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) Entire Agreement. This Sublease contains all of the covenants, conditions and agreements between the parties concerning the
Sublet Space, and shall supersede all prior correspondence, agreements and understandings concerning the Sublet Space, both oral and written. No addition or modification of any term or provision of this Sublease shall be effective unless set forth
in writing and signed by both Sublessor and Sublessee. 
  
 (b) Captions. All captions and headings in this Sublease are for the purposes of reference and convenience and shall not limit or expand the provisions of this Sublease. 
  
 (c) Landlord’s Consent. Sublessee acknowledges the Master Lease requires the consent of Landlord
to this Sublease, which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld. Sublessor shall promptly use its best efforts to seek the consent of Landlord to this Sublease. In the event Sublessor does not receive Landlord’s written consent to this
Sublease on or before November 30, 2000, then either Sublessor or Sublessee shall have the right by delivery of written 

  

 -13- 

 
notice to the other to terminate this Sublease, with such termination being effective on the day of delivery of said notice. For purposes of this section
21.c. notice shall be by personal delivery or facsimile as follows:

prepaid unaccrued Rent previously delivered to Sublessor by Sublessee. 
  
 (d) Authority. Each person executing this Sublease on behalf of a party hereto represents and warrants that he or she is authorized and empowered to do so and to thereby bind the party on whose behalf he or she
is signing. 
  
 (e) Attorneys’ Fees.
In the event either party shall bring any action or proceeding for damages or for an alleged breach of any provision of this Sublease to recover rents, or to enforce, protect or establish any right or remedy hereunder, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs as part of such action or proceeding. 
  
 (f) Parking. At no additional cost, Sublessee shall have the nonexclusive right to use of 3 parking stalls per 1,000 square feet of
rentable space in the Sublet Space located in the adjacent parking structure, subject however to all the terms and provisions stated in the Master Lease with respect to Sublessor’s use of parking facilities. 
  
 (g) Insurance Certificate. At or before the
Commencement Date, and from time to time thereafter at the request of Sublessor, Sublessee will deliver to Sublessor certificates of insurance evidencing Sublessee’s compliance with the insurance requirements of the Master Lease. 
  
 (h) Access. Sublessor reserves the right to enter the
Sublet Space upon reasonable notice to Sublessee of at least 24 hours (except that in case of emergency no notice

 The work week within the Company is the applicable

 The Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, either during the period of his employment
or at a later date, give, procure or supply, in any manner whatsoever, to any person, firm, association or company, the name or address of any client of the Company, or any trade secret or confidential information concerning the business of the
Company and its personnel, except with the written authorization of a representative of the Company. 
  
 Business records of any kind, including private notes concerning Company affairs and activities, shall be carefully kept and only used for business purposes. No copies or extracts or duplicates of drawings,
calculations, statistics and the like, or of any other business records may be copied or extracted for purposes other than the Company’s business.

 For this purpose, the Employee undertakes,
in particular, for any product or service that might compete with the products or services of the Company, not to visit or contact the Company’s clients or to deal with any individual or company that was a client of the Company at any time. It
is expressly agreed that the performance of this clause is limited to a period of two (2) years as from the date of the Employee’s actual departure from the Company, and encompasses the country of Japan.

 The Employee undertakes, for a period of two (2) years as from the date of his actual
departure from the Company: 
  

	i.	 	not to propose to any person who was, at the time of his actual departure or during the twelve (12) months preceding his departure, an employee of the Company, or to attempt by any
means, directly or indirectly, to persuade or incite this person to accept another employment or to leave the Company; and 

  

	ii.	 	not to hire any person who was an employee of the Company, at the time of his actual departure or during the twelve (12) months preceding this departure, or to have him hired by a
third party with whom the Employee has business relations. 

  
 ARTICLE
15 - PENALTY CLAUSE 
  
 Any violation of the provisions stipulated in
articles 10 (exclusivity), 11 (confidentiality), 12 (non-competition) and 13 (non-solicitation) above shall be sanctioned by the payment of an indemnity at least equal to the remuneration received by the Employee during the last six months of the
existence of this contract, although the Company reserves the right to prove greater damages and to obtain the cessation of the violation and obtain compensation by all legal means. 
  
 ARTICLE 16 - INTELLECTUAL AND/OR INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY RIGHTS 
  
 If, while performing his duties, the Employee produces a patentable or non-patentable invention or creates any drawings, models, methods,
programs, formulae or processes relating to the activities, projects or research of the Company and which may be protected by law, all intellectual and/or industrial property rights resulting there from shall belong to the Company as of right
subject to the moral rights of employee as provided by law. The Company shall pay the Employee ¥100,000 for all patented inventions developed by the Employee, in exchange for which the Employee shall transfer all right and title in such patented
invention to the Company. 
  
  

 5 

  
 ARTICLE 17 - TERMINATION 
  
 The Company may terminate the Employee’s employment with the Company at any time for
“cause” (as defined below). In the event that the Employee’s employment is terminated under this provision, the Employee shall receive payment for all earned but unpaid salary; accrued but unused vacation time; the amount of
any unreimbursed expenses; and benefits the Employee is then entitled to receive under applicable benefit plans of the Company, less standard withholdings for tax and social security purposes and the like, through the termination date, which for
purposes of this provision shall be the date upon which such notice of termination is given. The Company shall have no further obligation to pay any compensation of any kind nor to make any payment in lieu of notice. All benefits provided by the
Company to the Employee under this Agreement or otherwise shall cease as of the termination date. 
  
 For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall have “cause” to terminate the Employee’s employment upon any of the following: (a) a material breach by the Employee of the terms of this Agreement; (b)
any act of theft, misappropriation, embezzlement, intentional fraud or similar conduct by the Employee involving the Company or any affiliate; (c) the conviction or the plea of nolo contendere or the equivalent in respect of a felony
involving an act of dishonesty, moral turpitude, deceit or fraud by the Employee; (d) any damage of a material nature to the business or property of the Company or any affiliate caused by the Employee’s willful or grossly negligent conduct; (e)
the Employee’s failure to act in accordance with any specific instructions given to the Employee in connection with the performance of his duties for the Company or any affiliate. 
  
 In case of termination or suspension of this contract for whatever reason (resignation, dismissal, retirement, sick leave, etc.), the
Employee shall return to the Company upon his leaving the Company, irrespective of the legal term of the contract, any documents, reports, designs, lists, credit cards and correspondence, as well as any equipment and vehicle belonging to the
Company. 
  
 ARTICLE 18 - GOVERNING LAW - COMPETENT COURTS 
  
 This contract is governed by the laws of Japan, both with respect to its performance and its
termination. Any dispute relating hereto shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court. 
  
 ARTICLE 19 - GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  
 In case of any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement. Rather, this Agreement

 shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. If moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope or subject matter,
it shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear. 
  
 No waiver by the Company of any breach of this Agreement shall be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver by the Company of any right under this
Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other right. The Company shall not be required to give notice to enforce strict adherence to all terms of this Agreement. 
  
 This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and
merges all prior discussions between the Employee and the Company. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party to be charged. Any
subsequent change or changes in the Employee’s duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.
