under the Lease on the Expiration Date. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice setting forth the Fair Market Value, which notice shall be given prior to the commencement date of the Renewal Term. If the parties are unable to agree on the Fair
Market Value within sixty (60) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Notice to Renew, either party may request that the Fair Market Value be determined pursuant to the ADR Process described in Section 18.30 of the Lease. Such determination shall

one-hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the Base Rent in effect on the Expiration Date, including, but not limited to any adjustments for Property Taxes and Operating Expenses.

 (d) Except as otherwise provided herein, all of the terms and provisions of this Lease shall remain the same and in full force and effect
during the Renewal Term.

affiliate (which transfer or assignment has been approved by Landlord); 
  
 (ii) Tenant delivers to Landlord irrevocable written notice of its exercise of the Termination Option no later than six (6) months prior to the Termination Date; 
  
 (iii) On or prior to the Termination Date, Tenant shall pay
a fee (the “Termination Fee”) in the amount of the sum of the unamortized tenant improvement costs paid by Landlord, plus the unamortized real estate brokerage commissions paid by Landlord, plus two (2) months’ rent at the
then-current rate; 
  
 (iv) On or prior to the
Termination date, Tenant surrenders the Premises and all improvements, alterations, and additions to Landlord in the condition required under the Lease; and,

limitation, any of Tenant’s indemnification obligations under this Lease.

	 	4.1.5	 	Adjustment. 

  
 If the Building does not have ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy during an entire calendar year, including the Base Year, then the variable cost
component of “Property Tax” and “Operating Expenses” shall be equitably adjusted so that the total amount of Property Tax and Operating Expenses equals the total amount which would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the
Building been one hundred percent (100%) occupied for the entire calendar year. In no event shall Landlord be entitled to receive from Tenant and any other tenants in the Building an aggregate amount in excess of actual Operating Expenses as a
result of the foregoing provision. 
  

	 	4.2	 	Base Rent. 

  

	 	4.2.1	 	Rent Adjustment. 

  
 During the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as rental for the Premises the Base Rent described in Section 1.8 above. 
  

	 	4.2.2	 	Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment. 

  
 In addition to the Rent Adjustment, during each calendar year subsequent to the Base Year, the Base Rent shall be increased by (collectively, the
“Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment”): (i) Tenant’s Percentage Share of the total dollar increase, if any, in Property Taxes for such year over Property Taxes for the Base Year; and (ii) Tenant’s Percentage Share of the total
dollar increase, if any, in Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord during such year over Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord during the Base Year; provided, however, that in any one (1) calendar year, Tenant’s Percentage
Share of the total dollar increase in the Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment may not be increased more than ten percent (10%) from the total dollar cost of Tenant’s Percentage Share for the previous calendar year. A decrease in Property Taxes
or Operating Expenses below the Base Year amounts shall not decrease the amount of the Base Rent due hereunder or give rise to a credit in favor of Tenant. 
  
 If Tenant’s Additional Rent as finally determined for any calendar year exceeds the total payments made by Tenant on account thereof, Tenant shall
pay Landlord the deficiency within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s statement. If the total payments made by Tenant on account thereof exceed Tenant’s Additional Rent as finally determined for such year, Tenant’s
excess payment shall be credited toward the rent next due from Tenant under this Lease. For any partial calendar year at the beginning or end of the Term, Additional Rent shall be prorated on the basis of a 365-day year by computing Tenant’s
Share of the increases in Operating Costs and Taxes for the entire year and then prorating such amount for the number of days during such year included in the Lease Term. Notwithstanding the termination of this Lease, Landlord shall pay to Tenant or
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as the case may be, within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s final statement for the calendar year in which this Lease terminates, the difference between Tenant’s Additional Rent for that
year, as finally determined by Landlord, and the total amount previously paid by Tenant on account thereof. 
  

 - 6 - 

	 	4.2.3	 	Tax Exempt Tenant. 

  
 If for any reason Base Taxes or Taxes for any year during the Lease Term are reduced, refunded or otherwise changed, Tenant’s Additional Rent shall
be reduced, refunded or adjusted accordingly. If Taxes are temporarily reduced as a result of space in the Building being leased to a tenant that is entitled to an exemption from property taxes or other taxes, then for purposes of determining
Additional Rent for each year in which Taxes are reduced by any such exemption, Taxes for such year shall be calculated on the basis of the amount the Taxes for the year would have been in the absence of the exemption. The obligations of Landlord to
refund any overpayment of Additional Rent and of Tenant to pay any Additional Rent not previously paid shall survive the expiration of the Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if there is at any time a decrease in Taxes
below the amount of the Taxes for the Base Year, then for purposes of calculating Additional Rent for the year in which such decrease occurs and all subsequent periods, Base Taxes shall be reduced to equal the Taxes for the year in which the
decrease occurs. 
  

	 	4.3	 	Adjustment Procedure; Estimates. 

  
 The Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment shall be determined and paid as follows: 
  

	 	4.3.1	 	Estimates. 

  
 During each calendar year subsequent to the Base Year, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its estimate of any increased amounts payable under
Section 4.2.2 for that calendar year. On or before the first day of each calendar month during the calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth ( 1/12th) of such estimated amounts; provided, however, that, not more often than quarterly, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, revise its estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Tenant
for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate. 
  

	 	4.3.2	 	Landlord’s Statement. 

  
 Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each calendar year or as soon thereafter as is practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a
statement of that year’s Property Taxes and Operating Expenses, and the actual Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment to be made pursuant to Section 4.2.2 for such calendar year, as determined by Landlord (the “Landlord’s
Statement”). Such Landlord’s Statement shall be binding upon Tenant, except as specifically provided in Section 4.4 below. If the amount of the actual Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment is more than the estimated payments for such
calendar year made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord’s Statement. If the amount of the actual Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment is less than the estimated payments for such
calendar year made by Tenant, any excess shall be credited against Rent (as hereinafter defined) next payable by Tenant under this Lease or, if the Lease Term has expired, any excess shall be paid to Tenant. No delay in providing the Statement shall
act as a waiver of Landlord’s right to increase in payment pursuant to the Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment. 
  

	 	4.3.3	 	Termination. 

  
 If this Lease shall terminate on a day other than the end of a calendar year, the amount of the Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment to be paid that is
applicable to the calendar year in which such termination occurs shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days from January 1 of the calendar year to the termination date bears to 365. The termination of this Lease shall not affect the
obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Section 4.3.2 to be performed after such termination. 
  

	 	4.4	 	Review of Landlord’s Statement. 

  
 Provided that Tenant is not then in default beyond any applicable cure period of its obligations to pay Base Rent, additional rent described in Section
4.2.2 or any other payments required to be made by it under this Lease, and provided further that Tenant strictly complies with the provisions of this Section 4.4, Tenant shall have the right, once each calendar year, to reasonably review supporting
data for any portion of a Landlord’s Statement (provided, however, Tenant may not have an audit or review right to all documentation relating to Building operations as this would far exceed the relevant information necessary to properly
document a pass-through billing statement, but real estate tax statements, and information on utilities, repairs, maintenance and insurance will be available and provided further that such audit or review shall be of information relating to
Landlord’s Statement not more than one (1) year before the Landlord’s Statement in question), in accordance with the following procedure: 
  

	 	4.4.1	 	Notice. 

  
 Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after any such Landlord’s Statement is delivered, deliver a written notice to Landlord specifying the
portions of the Landlord’s Statement that are claimed to be incorrect, and Tenant shall simultaneously pay to Landlord all amounts due from Tenant to Landlord as specified in the Landlord’s Statement. Except as expressly set forth below,
in no event shall Tenant be entitled to withhold, deduct, or offset any monetary obligation of Tenant to Landlord under the Lease (including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to make all payments of Base Rent and all payments of
Tenant’s Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment) pending the completion of and regardless 
  

 - 7 - 

 of the results of any review of records under this Section 4.4. The right of Tenant under this Section 4.4 may only be
exercised once for any Landlord’s Statement and must be exercised within one year after the date of the Landlord’s Statement, and if Tenant fails to meet any of the above conditions as a prerequisite to the exercise of such right, the
right of Tenant under this Section 4.4 for a particular Landlord’s Statement shall be deemed waived. 
  

	 	4.4.2	 	Records. 

  
 Tenant acknowledges that Landlord maintains its records for the Building at Landlord’s manager’s corporate offices presently located at the
address set forth in Section 1.14 and Tenant agrees that any review of records under this Section 4.4 shall be at the sole expense of Tenant and shall be conducted by an independent firm of certified public accountants of national standing. Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that any records reviewed under this Section 4.4 constitute confidential information of Landlord, which shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the accountants performing the review, the principals of Tenant, and its
agents, officers, staff, and legal counsel who receive the results of the review. The disclosure of such information to any other person by Tenant, or its agents, officers, staff, and legal counsel, shall constitute a material breach of this Lease.

  

	 	4.4.3	 	Landlord’s Review; Reconciliation. 

  
 Any errors disclosed by the review shall be promptly corrected by Landlord, provided, however, that if Landlord disagrees with any such claimed errors,
Landlord shall have the right to cause another review to be made by an independent firm of certified public accountants of national standing. In the event of a disagreement between the two accounting firms, the review that discloses the least amount
of deviation from the Landlord’s Statement shall be deemed to be correct. In the event that the results of the review of records (taking into account, if applicable, the results of any additional review caused by Landlord) reveal that Tenant
has overpaid obligations for a preceding period, the amount of such overpayment shall be credited against Tenant’s subsequent installment obligations to pay the estimated Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment. In the event that such results show
that Tenant has underpaid its obligations for a preceding period, Tenant shall be liable for Landlord’s actual accounting fees, and the amount of such underpayment shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord with the next succeeding installment
obligation of estimated Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment. 
  

	 	4.5	 	Payment. 

  
 Concurrently with the execution hereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord Base Rent for the first one-half ( 1/2) calendar month of the Lease Term. Thereafter the Base Rent described in Section 1.8, as adjusted in accordance with Section 4.2, shall be payable in
advance on the first day of each calendar month. If the Commencement Date is other than the first day of a calendar month, the prepaid Base Rent for such partial month shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days this Lease is in
effect during such partial month bears to the total number of days in the calendar month. All Rent, and all other amounts payable to Landlord by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, shall be paid to Landlord, without notice, demand,
abatement, deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States at Landlord’s office in the Building or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may designate from time to time by written notice given to Tenant. No payment
by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the correct Rent due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account; nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be
deemed to effect or evidence an accord and satisfaction; and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law or in equity provided.

  

	 	4.6	 	Late Charge; Interest. 

  
 Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of Base Rent or any other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (all of which shall constitute
additional rental to the same extent as Base Rent) will cause Landlord to incur administrative costs and other damages, the exact amount of which would be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain. Landlord and Tenant agree that if Landlord
does not receive any such payment on or before ten (10) days after the date the payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, (a) a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount to cover such additional
administrative costs; and (b) interest on the delinquent amounts at the lesser of the maximum rate permitted by law (if any) or twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date due to the date paid. 
  

	 	4.7	 	Additional Rent. 

  
 For purposes of this Lease, all amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, whether or not denominated as such, shall constitute
additional rental hereunder. Such additional rental, together with the Base Rent, Rent Adjustment, and Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment, shall sometimes be referred to in this Lease as “Rent”. 
  

 - 8 - 

	 	4.8	 	Additional Taxes. 

  
 Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.1.2 to the contrary, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all taxes payable by or imposed upon
Landlord upon or with respect to: any fixtures or personal property located in the Premises; any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant; the Rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross receipts tax,
license fee or excise tax levied by any governmental authority; the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy of any portion of the Premises (including without limitation any applicable possessory
interest taxes); or this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises. 
  

	 	4.9	 	Base Rent Abatement. 

  
 If Landlord fails to perform the obligations required of Landlord under the terms of this Lease, and such failure causes the Premises to be completely
untenantable and unusable by Tenant because solely of the failure of the HVAC system in the Premises, the electricity in the Premises, the failure of the elevator service to the Premises, or a total failure to provide access to the Premises, Tenant
shall give Landlord notice (the “Initial Notice”), specifying such failure to perform by Landlord (the “Landlord Default”). If Landlord has not cured such Landlord Default within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Initial
Notice, Tenant may deliver an additional notice to Landlord (the “Additional Notice”), specifying such Landlord Default and Tenant’s intention to abate the payment of rent under this Lease. If Landlord does not cure such Landlord
Default within ten (10) days of receipt of the Additional Notice (the “Abatement Date”), Tenant may, upon written notice to Landlord, immediately abate Base Rent payable under this Lease for the Premises rendered untenantable, for the
period beginning on the Abatement Date and the nonuse of the Premises by Tenant to the earlier of the date Landlord cures such Landlord Default or the date Tenant recommences the use of the Premises. Such right to abate Base Rent shall be
Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for a Landlord Default. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of a Landlord Default. Except as provided in this Section 4.9, nothing contained herein
shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying Rent due hereunder. 
  
 ARTICLE V – SECURITY DEPOSIT 
  
 Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit described in Section 1.11 above. The Security Deposit is made by Tenant to secure the faithful performance of all the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. If Tenant shall default with respect to any covenant or provision hereof, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any portion of the Security Deposit to cure such default or to
compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby. If Landlord so uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall immediately upon written demand deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient
to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount hereinabove stated. Landlord may from time to time require Tenant to increase the amount of the Security Deposit in order for the Security Deposit to bear the same ratio to the then Base Rent as the
initial Security Deposit bears to the initial Base Rent. Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. If Tenant performs all
of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Landlord, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s
option, to the last assignee, if any, of Tenant’s interest hereunder) within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) after the expiration or termination of this Lease and surrender of the Premises by Tenant; provided that
Landlord may retain the Security Deposit as security for the payment of any Rent Adjustment for up to thirty (30) days following an expiration or termination pursuant to Section 4.2.1 above and shall, upon the determination of such adjustment, apply
the retained Security Deposit against any deficiency due Landlord and return the balance, if any, to Tenant. No trust relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall not be
considered an advance payment of rental or a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of default by Tenant. 
  
 ARTICLE VI – USE OF PREMISES 
  

	 	6.1	 	Tenant’s Permitted Use. 

  
 Tenant shall use the Premises only for Tenant’s Permitted Use as set forth in Section 1.12 above and shall not use or permit the Premises to be used
for any other purpose. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain all governmental licenses and permits required to allow Tenant to conduct Tenant’s Permitted Use. Landlord disclaims any warranty that the Premises are suitable for
Tenant’s use and Tenant acknowledges that it has had a full opportunity to make its own determination in this regard. 
  

 - 9 - 

	 	6.2	 	Compliance With Laws and Other Requirements. 

  

	 	6.2.1	 	Applicable Law. 

  
 Tenant shall not modify the Premises so that it violates any laws, statues, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or requirements now in force or
which may hereafter be in force (including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act and Environmental Requirements), with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted, with any
direction or occupancy certificate issued pursuant to any law by any public officer or officers, as well as the provisions of all recorded documents affecting the Premises, as they related to or affect the condition, use or occupancy of the
Premises, excluding requirements of structural changes not related to or affected by improvements made by or for Tenant or Tenant’s use of the Premises (collectively, the “Applicable Law”). The parties acknowledge and agree that
Tenant’s obligation to comply with the Applicable Law as provided herein is a material part of the bargained for consideration for this Lease. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.2.1, Tenant’s obligation under this paragraph
shall include, without limitation, the responsibility of Tenant to make substantial repairs and alterations to the Premises, regardless of, among other factors, the relationship of the cost of curative action to the rental payable under this Lease,
the length of the then remaining term hereof, the relative benefit of the repairs to Tenant, the degree in which the curative action may interfere with Tenant’s use or enjoyment of the Premises, the likelihood that the parties contemplated the
particular law involved, and whether the law involved is related to Tenant’s particular use of the Premises. Tenant waives any rights now or hereafter in whole or in part to otherwise seek redress against the Applicable Law to terminate this
Lease, to receive any abatement, diminution, reduction or suspension of payment of rent, or to compel Landlord to make any repairs to comply with any such legal requirements, on account of any such occurrence or situation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2.1, Tenant shall not be required to perform any structural changes to the Premises or other portions of the Building unless such changes relate to or are affected or triggered by (i) Tenant’s Alterations,
or (ii) Tenant’s particular use of the Premises (as opposed to Tenant’s use of the Premises for general office purposes in a normal and customary manner). In no event shall Tenant be required to remove any ACM, as defined in Section 18.29
herein, nor will Tenant be required to make Alterations or improvements to the Premises as delivered on the Commencement Date in order to make the Premises comply with the Applicable Law, if such violations of the Applicable Law existed at the
Commencement Date, or would have existed at the Commencement Date had the Applicable law been in effect at that time. 
  

	 	6.2.2	 	No Violation. 

  
 Tenant shall not use the Premises, or permit the Premises to be used, in any manner which: (a) violates any Applicable Law; (b) causes or is reasonably
likely to cause damage to the Building or the Premises; (c) violates a requirement or condition of any fire and extended insurance policy covering the Building and/or the Premises, or increases the cost of such policy; (d) constitutes or is
reasonably likely to constitute a nuisance, annoyance or inconvenience to other tenants or occupants of the Building or its equipment, facilities or systems; (e) interferes with, or is reasonably likely to interfere with, the transmission or
reception of microwave, television, radio, telephone or other communication signals by antennae or other facilities located in the Building; or (f) violates the Rules and Regulations described in Section 18.2. 
  

	 	6.3	 	Hazardous Materials. 

  

	 	6.3.1	 	Prohibition. 

  
 No Hazardous Materials (as defined herein), shall be Handled (as also defined herein), upon, about, above or beneath the Premises or any portion of the
Building by or on behalf of Tenant, its subtenants or its assignees, or their respective contractors, clients, officers, directors, employees, agents, or invitees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, normal quantities of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials
customarily used in the conduct of general administrative and executive office activities (e.g., copier fluids, cleaning supplies, batteries, etc.) may be Handled in accordance with applicable Environmental Law (as defined herein) at the Premises
without Landlord’s prior written consent. 
  

	 	6.3.2	 	Remediation. 

  
 Notwithstanding the obligation of Tenant to indemnify Landlord pursuant to this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly take all
actions required by any Regulatory Authority (as defined herein), or necessary for Landlord to make full economic use of the Premises or any portion of the Building, which requirements or necessity arises from the Handling of Tenant’s Hazardous
Materials upon, about, above or beneath the Premises or any portion of the Building. Such actions shall include, but not be limited to, the investigation of the environmental condition of the Premises or any portion of the Building, the preparation
of any feasibility studies or reports and the performance of any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work. Tenant shall take all actions necessary to restore the Premises or any portion of the Building to the condition existing prior to the
introduction of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials, notwithstanding any less stringent standards or remediation allowable under applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant shall nevertheless obtain Landlord’s written approval prior to undertaking

  

 - 10 - 

 any actions required by this Section, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such actions would not
potentially have a material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the Premises or any portion of the Building. 
  

	 	6.3.3	 	Additional Documents. 

  
 Tenant agrees to execute affidavits, representations, and the like from time to time at Landlord’s request stating Tenant’s best knowledge and
belief regarding the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Premises. 
  

	 	6.3.4	 	Environmental Laws. 

  
 As used herein, “Environmental Laws” means and includes all now and hereafter existing statutes, laws, ordinances, codes, regulations, rules,
rulings, orders, decrees, directives, policies and requirements by any Regulatory Authority regulating, relating to, or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning public health and safety or the environment. 
  

	 	6.3.5	 	Hazardous Materials. 

  
 As used herein, “Hazardous Materials” means: (a) any material or substance: (i) which is defined or becomes defined as a “hazardous
substance”, “hazardous waste,” “infectious waste,” “chemical mixture or substance,” or “air pollutant” under Environmental Laws; (ii) containing petroleum, crude oil or any fraction thereof; (iii)
containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s); (iv) containing asbestos; (v) which is radioactive; or (vi) which is infectious; or (b) any other material or substance displaying toxic, reactive, ignitable or corrosive characteristics, as all
such terms are used in their broadest sense, and are defined, or become defined by environmental laws; or (c) materials which cause a nuisance upon or waste to the Premises or any portion of the Building. 
  

	 	6.3.6	 	Handle. 

  
 As used herein, “Handle,” “handle,” “Handled,” “handled,” “Handling,” or “handling” shall mean
any installation, handling, generation, storage, treatment, use, disposal, discharge, release, manufacture, refinement, presence, migration, emission, abatement, removal, transportation, or any other activity of any type in connection with or
involving Hazardous Materials. 
  

	 	6.3.7	 	Regulatory Authority. 

  
 As used herein, “Regulatory Authority” shall mean any federal, state or local governmental agency, commission, board or political subdivision.

  
 ARTICLE VII – UTILITIES AND SERVICES

  

	 	7.1	 	Building Services. 

  
 As long as Tenant is not in monetary default under this Lease, Landlord agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to the Premises the following utilities
and services, subject to the conditions and standards set forth herein: 
  

	 	7.1.1	 	Elevator Service. 

  
 Non-attended automatic elevator service (if the Building has such equipment serving the Premises), in common with Landlord and other tenants and occupants
and their agents and invitees. 
  

	 	7.1.2	 	HVAC. 

  
 During Business Hours, such air conditioning, heating and ventilation as, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are required for the comfortable use and
occupancy of the Premises; provided, however, that if Tenant shall require heating, ventilation or air conditioning in excess of that which Landlord shall be required to provide hereunder, Landlord may provide such additional heating, ventilation or
air conditioning at such rates and upon such additional conditions as shall be determined by Landlord from time to time. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord represents that Non-Business Hours HVAC service shall be made available to Tenant upon
written request to Landlord. The current rate charged by Landlord for Non-Business Hours HVAC service is one hundred eighty-five dollars ($185) per hour for chilled-air service and eighty-five dollars ($85) per hour for fan-only service, excepting
Sunday service, which is one hundred eighty-five dollars ($185) per hour for both chilled-air and fan-only service. Landlord may increase these rates only if, and to the extent higher rates are charged for similarly sized tenant spaces for similar
class A buildings in the San Francisco Central Business District 
  

	 	7.1.3	 	Water. 

  
 Water for drinking and if rest rooms are within the Premises, rest room purposes. 
  

 - 11 - 

	 	7.1.4	 	Janitorial and Cleaning. 

  
 Reasonable janitorial and cleaning services (performed at least every business day), provided that the Premises are used exclusively for office purposes
and are kept reasonably in order by Tenant. If the Premises are not used exclusively as offices, Landlord, at Landlord’s sole discretion, may require that the Premises be kept clean and in order by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to the
satisfaction of Landlord and by persons approved by Landlord; and, in all events, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of removal of Tenant’s refuse and rubbish, to the extent that the same exceeds the refuse and rubbish attendant to normal
office usage. 
  

	 	7.1.5	 	Electricity. 

  
 At all reasonable times, electric service which from time to time may fluctuate but in no event shall be less than the product of one kilowatt per square
foot multiplied by the rentable square feet of the Premises, and not more than the product of six (6) kilowatts per square foot multiplied by the rentable square feet of the Premises (collectively, said minimum and maximum products shall be referred
to as the “wattage allowance”); provided, however, that: (i) without Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall not install, or permit the installation, in the Premises of any computers, word processors, electronic data processing equipment or
other type of equipment or machines which will increase Tenant’s use of electric current in excess of the wattage allowance; (ii) if Tenant shall require electric service which may disrupt the provision of electrical service to other tenants or
be in excess of the wattage allowance, Landlord may refuse to grant its consent or may condition its consent upon Tenant’s payment of the cost of installing and providing any additional facilities required to furnish such excess power to the
Premises and upon the installation in the Premises of electric current meters to measure the amount of electricity consumed, in which latter event Tenant shall pay for the cost of such meter(s) and the cost of installation, and repair thereof, as
well as for all excess electric current consumed at the rates charged by the applicable local public utility, plus a reasonable amount to cover the additional expenses incurred by Landlord in keeping account of the electricity so consumed; and (iii)
if Tenant’s increased electrical requirements will materially affect the temperature level in the Premises or the Building, Landlord’s consent may be conditioned upon Tenant’s requirement to pay such amounts as will be incurred by
Landlord to install and operate any machinery or equipment necessary to restore the temperature level to that otherwise required to be provided by Landlord, including but not limited to the cost of modifications to the air conditioning system. In
the event of any utility deregulation whereby California utility customers may choose service providers, Landlord may select such utility service provider which it deems to be appropriate to service the utility needs of tenants of the Building, with
or without regard to the rates charged by such utility service provider, so long as Landlord’s selection is commercially reasonable. Landlord shall not, in any way, be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage or expense which
Tenant may incur or sustain if, for any reasons beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, either the quantity or character of electric service is changed or is no longer available or suitable for Tenant’s requirements. Tenant covenants that at
all times its use of electric current shall never exceed the capacity of the feeders, risers or electrical installations of the Building. If submetering of electricity in the Building will not be permitted under future laws or regulations, the Rent
will then be equitably and periodically adjusted to include an additional payment to Landlord reflecting the cost to Landlord for furnishing electricity to Tenant in the Premises. 
  

	 	7.1.6	 	Payments. 

  
 Any amounts which Tenant is required to pay to Landlord pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be payable upon demand by Landlord and shall constitute
additional rent. 
  

	 	7.2	 	Interruption of Service. 

  
 Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to furnish, stoppage of, or interruption in furnishing any of the services or utilities described in Section
7.1, when such failure is caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, labor disturbances, governmental regulation, civil disturbances, acts of war, moratorium or other governmental action, or any other cause beyond
Landlord’s reasonable control, and, in such event, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages nor shall any failure or interruption abate or suspend Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent, Base Rent and additional rent required under this Lease
or constitute or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant. Further, in the event any governmental authority or public utility promulgates or revises any law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or issues mandatory controls or voluntary
controls relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light or electricity, the reduction of automobile or other emissions, or the provision of any other utility or service, Landlord may take any reasonably appropriate action to comply
with such law, ordinance, rule, regulation, mandatory control or voluntary guideline and Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any such action of Landlord. The parties acknowledge that safety and security devices, services and
programs provided by Landlord, if any, while intended to deter crime and ensure safety, may not in given instances prevent theft or other criminal acts, or ensure safety of persons or property. The risk that any safety or security device, service or
program may not be effective, or may malfunction, or be circumvented by a criminal, is assumed by Tenant with respect to Tenant’s property and interests, and Tenant shall obtain insurance coverage to the extent Tenant desires protection against

  

 - 12 - 

 such criminal acts and other losses, as further described in this Lease. Tenant agrees to cooperate in any reasonable
safety or security program developed by Landlord or required by Law. 
  

	 	7.3	 	Utility Deregulation. 

  

	 	7.3.1	 	Landlord Controls Selection. 

  
 Landlord has advised Tenant that presently Pacific Gas & Electric (“Electric Service Provider”) is the utility company selected by Landlord
to provide electricity service for 44 Montgomery Street. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if permitted by law, Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Lease Term to either contract for service from a different
company or companies providing electricity service (each such company shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Alternate Service Provider”) or continue to contract for service from the Electric Service Provider. 
  

	 	7.3.2	 	Tenant Shall Give Landlord Access. 

  
 Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord, the Electric Service Provider, and any Alternate Service Provider at all reasonable times and, as reasonable
necessary, shall allow Landlord, Electric Service Provider, and any Alternate Service Provider reasonable access to 44 Montgomery Street’s electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring and any other machinery within the Premises. 
  
 ARTICLE VIII – MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS 
  

	 	8.1	 	Landlord’s Obligations. 

  
 Except as expressly provided in Sections 8.2 and 8.3 below, Landlord shall maintain the Building in reasonable order and repair throughout the Lease Term;
provided, however, that Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance is
given to Landlord by Tenant. Except as provided in Article XI, and in Section 4.9, there shall be no abatement of Rent, nor shall there be any liability of Landlord, by reason of any injury or inconvenience to, or interference with, Tenant’s
business or operations arising from the making of, or failure to make, any maintenance or repairs in or to any portion of the Building. 
  

	 	8.2	 	Tenant’s Obligations. 

  
 During the Lease Term, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain the Premises in good order and repair (including, without limitation, the
carpet, wall covering, doors, plumbing and other fixtures, equipment, alterations and improvements, whether installed by Landlord or Tenant). Further, Tenant shall be responsible for, and upon demand by Landlord shall promptly reimburse Landlord
for, any damage to any portion of the Building or the Premises caused by (a) Tenant’s activities in the Building or the Premises; (b) the performance or existence of any alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant in or to the
Premises; (c) the installation, use, operation or movement of Tenant’s property in or about the Building or the Premises; or (d) any act or omission by Tenant or its officers, partners, employees, agents, contractors or invitees. 
  

	 	8.3	 	Landlord’s Rights. 

  
 Landlord and its contractors shall have the right, at all reasonable times and upon prior written, oral or telephonic notice to Tenant at the Premises,
other than in the case of any emergency in which case no notice shall be required, to enter upon the Premises to make any repairs to the Premises or the Building reasonably or deemed reasonably necessary by Landlord and to erect such equipment,
including scaffolding, as is reasonably necessary to effect such repairs. 
  
 ARTICLE IX – ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS, AND IMPROVEMENTS 
  

	 	9.1	 	Landlord’s Consent; Conditions. 

  
 Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any alterations, additions, or improvements in or to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”)
without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Landlord may impose as a condition to making any Alterations such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion
deems necessary or desirable including without limitation: Tenant’s submission to Landlord, for Landlord’s prior written approval, of all plans and specifications relating to the Alterations, and upon completion of the Alterations,
Tenant’s delivery to Landlord for its permanent files on reproducible set of “as built” drawings showing the Alterations as constructed or installed in the Premises; Landlord’s prior written approval of the time or times when the
Alterations are to be performed; Landlord’s prior written approval of the contractors and subcontractors performing work in connection with the Alterations; employment of 
  

 - 13 - 

 union contractors and subcontractors who shall not cause labor disharmony; Tenant’s receipt of all necessary permits
and approvals from all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises prior to the construction of the Alterations; Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of such bonds and insurance as Landlord shall reasonably require; Tenant’s
payment to Landlord of all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord because of Tenant’s Alterations, including but not limited to costs incurred in reviewing the plans and specifications for, and the progress of, the Alterations; and payment to
Landlord a construction supervision in the amount of five percent (5%) of the costs of the Alterations. Tenant is required to provide Landlord written notice of whether the Alterations include the Handling of any Hazardous Materials and whether
these materials are of a customary and typical nature for industry practices. Upon completion of the Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of as-built plans. Neither the approval by Landlord of plans and specifications relating to
any Alterations nor Landlord’s supervision or monitoring of any Alterations shall constitute any warranty by Landlord to Tenant of the adequacy of the design for Tenant’s intended use or the proper performance of the Alterations.

  

	 	9.2	 	Performance of Alterations Work. 

  
 All work relating to the Alterations shall be performed in compliance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, all applicable laws,
ordinances, rules, regulations and directives of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises and the requirements of all carriers of insurance insuring the Premises and the Building, the Board of Underwriters, Fire Rating
Bureau, or similar organization. All work shall be performed in a diligent, first class manner and so as not to unreasonably interfere with any other tenants or occupants of the Building. All costs incurred by Landlord relating to the Alterations
shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant as additional rent upon demand. No asbestos-containing materials shall be used or incorporated in the Alterations. No lead-containing surfacing material, solder, or other construction materials or fixtures
where the presence of lead might create a condition of exposure not in compliance with Environmental Laws shall be incorporated in the Alterations. 
  

	 	9.3	 	Liens. 

  
 Tenant shall pay when due all costs for work performed and materials supplied to the Premises. Tenant shall keep Landlord, the Premises and the Building
free from all liens, stop notices and violation notices relating to the Alterations or any other work performed for, materials furnished to or obligations incurred by or for Tenant and Tenant shall protect, indemnify, hold harmless and defend
Landlord, the Premises and the Building of and from any and all loss, cost, damage, liability and expense, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to any such liens or notices. Further, Tenant shall give Landlord not less than
seven (7) business days prior written notice before commencing any Alterations in or about the Premises to permit Landlord to post appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall also secure, prior to commencing any Alterations, at
Tenant’s sole expense, a completion and lien indemnity bond satisfactory to Landlord for such work. During the progress of such work, Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s request, furnish Landlord with lien releases covering all work theretofore
performed. Tenant shall satisfy or otherwise discharge all liens, stop notices or other claims or encumbrances within ten (10) days after Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that any such lien, stop notice, claim or encumbrance has been filed. If
Tenant fails to pay and remove such lien, claim or encumbrance within such ten (10) days, Landlord, at its election, may pay and satisfy the same and in such event the sums so paid by Landlord, with interest from the date of payment at the rate set
forth in this Lease for amounts owed Landlord by Tenant shall be deemed to be additional rent due and payable by Tenant at once without notice or demand. 
  

	 	9.4	 	Lease Termination. 

  
 Except as provided herein, upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as
existed on the date Tenant first occupied the Premises (whether pursuant to this Lease or an earlier lease), subject to reasonable wear and tear. All Alterations shall become a part of the Premises and shall become the property of Landlord upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, unless Landlord shall, by written notice given to Tenant, require Tenant to remove some or all of Tenant’s Alterations, in which event Tenant shall promptly remove the designated Alterations and
shall promptly repair any resulting damage, all at Tenant’s sole expense. All business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, furniture, movable partitions and items of personal property owned by Tenant or installed by Tenant at its
expense in the Premises shall be and remain the property of Tenant; upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, remove all such items and repair any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by
such removal. If Tenant fails to remove any such items or repair such damage promptly after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Landlord may, but need not, do so with no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost
thereof upon demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event that Landlord gives its consent, pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX, to allow Tenant to make an Alteration in the Premises, Landlord agrees, upon
Tenant’s written request, to notify Tenant in writing at the time of the giving of such consent whether Landlord will require Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, to remove such Alteration at the end of the Lease Term.

 ARTICLE X – INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE 
  

	 	10.1	 	Indemnification. 

  

	 	10.1.1	 	Tenant. 

  
 Tenant agrees to protect, indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord and any Mortgagee, as defined herein, and each of their respective partners,
directors, officers, agents and employees, successors and assigns (except to the extent the losses described below are caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, its agents and employees), from and against: 
  
 (i) any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense as
incurred (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal costs) arising out of or related to any claim, suit or judgment brought by or in favor of any person or persons for damage, loss or expense due to, but not limited to,
bodily injury, including death or property damage sustained by such person or persons which arises out of, or is in any way attributable to the use or occupancy of the Premises or any portion of the Building by Tenant or the acts or omissions of
Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, clients, invitees or subtenants except to the extent caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord or its agents or employees. Such loss or damage shall include, but not be limited to,
any injury or damage to, or death of, Landlord’s employees or agents or damage to the Premises or any portion of the Building. 
  
 (ii) any and all environmental damages which arise from the Tenant’s Handling of any Hazardous Materials, as defined in Section 6.3.

paid for settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees and experts’ fees; and (c) all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with investigation or remediation relating to the Tenant’s Handling of Hazardous Materials.
To the extent that Landlord is held strictly liable by a court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction under any Environmental Laws, Tenant’s obligation to Landlord and the other indemnities under the foregoing indemnification
shall likewise be without regard to fault on Tenant’s part with respect to the violation of any Environmental Law which results in liability to the Landlord. Tenant’s obligations and liabilities pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall survive
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

	 	10.1.3	 	No Limitation. 

  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing shall be interpreted or used to (a) in any way affect, limit, reduce or abrogate any insurance coverage provided by any insurers to either Tenant or

and costs, including actual attorneys’ fees, arising under any present or future law, statute, or ordinance of the State of California or other governmental authority having jurisdiction of the Premises, by reason of any storage, sale, use or

	 	10.7	 	Failure to Insure. 

  
 If Tenant fails to maintain any insurance which Tenant is required to maintain pursuant to this Article X, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any loss

absolute discretion. 
  
 ARTICLE XI – DAMAGE OR
DESTRUCTION 
  

	 	11.1	 	Total Destruction. 

  
 Except as provided in Section 11.3 below, this Lease shall terminate if the Building is totally destroyed. 
  

	 	11.2	 	Partial Destruction of Premises. 

  
 If the Premises are damaged by any casualty and, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the Premises (exclusive of any Alterations made to the Premises by
Tenant) can be restored to its pre-existing condition within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the damage or destruction, Landlord shall, upon written notice from Tenant to Landlord of such damage, except as provided in Section 11.3,
promptly and with due diligence repair any damage to the Premises (exclusive of any Alterations to the Premises made by Tenant, which shall be promptly repaired by Tenant at its sole expense) and, until such repairs are completed, the Rent shall be
abated from the date of damage or destruction in the same proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises which is unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business bears to the total rentable area of the Premises. If such repairs
cannot, in Landlord’s opinion, be made within said one hundred eighty (180) day period, then Landlord may, at its option, exercisable by written notice given to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the damage or destruction, elect
to make the repairs within a reasonable time after the damage or destruction, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force and effect but the Rent shall be abated as provided in the preceding sentence; if Landlord does not so elect to make
the repairs, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right, by written notice given to the other within sixty (60) days after the date of the damage or destruction, to terminate this Lease as of the date of the damage or destruction.

  

	 	11.3	 	Exceptions to Landlord’s Obligations. 

  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XI, Landlord shall have no obligation to repair the Premises if either: (a) the
Building in which the Premises are located is so damaged as to require repairs to the Building exceeding twenty percent (20%) of the full insurable value of the Building; or (b) Landlord elects to demolish the Building in which the Premises are
located; or (c) the damage or destruction occurs less than one (1) year prior to the Expiration Date, exclusive of option periods. Further, Tenant’s Rent shall not be abated if either (i) the damage or destruction is repaired within five (5)
business days after Landlord receives written notice from Tenant of the casualty, or (ii) to the extent that Tenant, or any officers, partners, employees, agents or invitees of Tenant, or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant, is, in whole or in part,
responsible for the damage or destruction. 
  

	 	11.4	 	Waiver. 

  
 The provisions contained in this Lease shall supersede any laws (whether statutory, common law or otherwise) now or hereafter in effect relating to
damage, destruction, self-help or termination, including California Civil Code Sections 1932 and 1933. 
  
 ARTICLE XII – CONDEMNATION 
  

	 	12.1	 	Taking. 

  
 If the entire Premises or so much of the Premises as to render the balance unusable by Tenant shall be taken by condemnation, sale in lieu of condemnation
or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public purpose (collectively “Condemnation”), then this Lease shall terminate on the date that title or possession to the Premises is taken by the condemning authority. 
  

	 	12.2	 	Award. 

  
 In the event of any Condemnation, the entire award for such taking shall belong to Landlord. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the award for
the value of any unexpired term of this Lease or otherwise. Tenant shall be entitled to independently pursue a separate award in a separate proceeding for Tenant’s relocation costs directly associated with the taking, provided such separate
award does not diminish Landlord’s award. 
  

 - 17 - 

	 	12.3	 	Temporary Taking. 

  
 No temporary taking of the Premises shall terminate this Lease or entitle Tenant to any abatement of the Rent payable to Landlord under this Lease;
provided, further, that any award for such temporary taking shall belong to Tenant to the extent that the award applies to any time period during the Lease Term and to Landlord to the extent that the award applies to any time period outside the
Lease Term. 
  
 ARTICLE XIII – RELOCATION

  
 Intentionally Deleted. 
  
 ARTICLE XIV – ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING 
  

	 	14.1	 	Restriction. 

  
 Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, encumber, or otherwise transfer this
Lease or any interest herein, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the Premises to be occupied by anyone other than Tenant or Tenant’s employees (any such assignment, encumbrance, subletting, occupation or transfer is
hereinafter referred to as a “Transfer”). For purposes of this Lease the term “Transfer” shall also include (a) if Tenant is a partnership the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of a partner, or
a transfer of partnership interests, or the dissolution of the partnership, and (b) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e. whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter) or a limited liability
company, the dissolution, merger, consolidation, division, liquidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or within a twelve month period: (i) the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of 20% of the voting securities of Tenant (other than
to immediate family members by reason of gift or death) or (ii) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an aggregate of 50% of Tenant’s net assets. A Transfer in violation of the foregoing shall be void and, at Landlord’s
option, shall constitute a material breach of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XIV to the contrary, Tenant expressly covenants and agrees not to enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement for
use, occupancy or utilization of the Premises which provides for rental or other payment for such use, occupancy or utilization based in whole or in part on the net income or profits derived by any person from the property leased, used, occupied or
utilized (other than an amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales), and that any such purported lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement shall be absolutely void and ineffective as a conveyance of any
right or interest in the possession, use, occupancy or utilization of any part of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant may effectuate a Transfer to any of the following entities without
Landlord’s consent; provided, however, that Tenant shall provide Landlord with prior written notice thereof and provided that the tangible net worth of the proposed Transferee is such that such Transferee is capable of performing Tenant’s
obligation under this Lease, as reasonably determined by Landlord: 
  
 (i) Any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant (a “Corporate Affiliate”); 
  
 (ii) Any entity with which Tenant has merged or consolidated, or 
  
 (iii) Any entity which acquires all or substantially all of the shares of stock or assets of Tenant, and
which continues to operate substantially the same business at the Premises as had been maintained by Tenant (each, an “Affiliate Transferee”). 
  

	 	14.2	 	Notice to Landlord. 

  
 If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or any interest herein, or to sublet all or any part of the Premises, then at least fifteen (15) days but not more
than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the effective date of the proposed assignment or subletting, Tenant shall submit to Landlord in connection with Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent: 
  

	 	14.2.1	 	Statement. 

  
 A statement containing (a) the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (b) such financial information with respect to the proposed
assignee or subtenant as Landlord shall reasonably require; (c) the type of use proposed for the Premises; and (d) all of the principal terms of the proposed assignment or subletting; and 
  

 - 18 - 

	 	14.2.2	 	Original Documents. 

  
 Four (4) originals of the assignment or sublease on a form approved by Landlord and four (4) originals of the Landlord’s Consent to Sublease or
Assignment and Assumption of Lease and Consent. 
  

	 	14.3	 	Landlord’s Recapture Rights. 

  
 At any time within twenty (20) business days after Landlord’s receipt of all (but not less than all) of the information and documents described in
Section 14.2 above, Landlord may, at its option by written notice to Tenant, elect to: (a) sublease the Premises or the portion thereof proposed to be sublet by Tenant upon the same terms as those offered to the proposed subtenant; (b) take an
assignment of the Lease upon the same terms as those offered to the proposed assignee; or (c) terminate the Lease in its entirety or as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be assigned or sublet, with a proportionate adjustment in the Rent
payable hereunder if the Lease is terminated as to less than all of the Premises. If Landlord does not exercise any of the options described in the preceding sentence, then, during the above-described twenty (20) business day period, Landlord shall
either consent or deny its consent to the proposed assignment or subletting. 
  

	 	14.4	 	Landlord’s Consent; Standards. 

  
 Landlord’s consent to a proposed assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonably withheld; but, in addition to any other grounds for denial,
Landlord’s consent shall be deemed reasonably withheld if, in Landlord’s good faith judgment: (a) the proposed assignee or subtenant does not have in Landlord’s reasonable judgment the financial strength to perform its obligations
under this Lease or any proposed sublease; (b) the business and operations of the proposed assignee or subtenant are not of comparable quality to the business and operations being conducted by other tenants in the Building; (c) the proposed assignee
or subtenant intends to use any part of the Premises for a purpose not permitted under this Lease; (d) either the proposed assignee or subtenant, or any person which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with
the proposed assignee or subtenant occupies space in the Building, or is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Building; (e) the proposed assignee or subtenant is disreputable; or (f) the use of the Premises or the Building by the proposed
assignee or subtenant would, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, impact the Building in a negative manner, including but not limited to significantly increasing the pedestrian traffic in and out of the Building or requiring any alterations to
the Building to comply with applicable laws; (g) the subject space is not regular in shape with appropriate means of ingress and egress suitable for normal renting purposes; (h) the transferee is a government (or agency or instrumentality thereof),
or (i) Tenant has failed to cure a default at the time Tenant requests consent to the proposed Transfer. Tenant shall not be entitled to and Tenant hereby waives any right it may have to make any claim for, money damages (nor shall Tenant claim any
money damages by way of set-off, counterclaim or defense) based upon any claim or assertion by Tenant that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed its consent or approval to a proposed assignment or subletting or as provided for
in this Section 14.4. Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce any provision hereof, or for specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s rights under this Section 14.4
satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code with respect to the availability to Landlord of certain remedies for a default by Tenant under this Lease, and which provides, in part: “The lessor has the remedy
described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue the lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable
limitations).” 
  

	 	14.5	 	Additional Rent. 

  
 If Landlord consents to any such assignment or subletting, the amount by which all sums or other economic consideration payable to Tenant in connection
with such assignment or subletting, whether denominated as rental or otherwise, exceeds, in the aggregate, the total sum which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to less than all of the
Premises under a sublease) shall be paid to Landlord promptly after receipt as additional Rent under the Lease without affecting or reducing any other obligation of Tenant hereunder. 
  

	 	14.6	 	Landlord’s Costs. 

  
 If Tenant shall Transfer this Lease or all or any part of the Premises or shall request the consent of Landlord to any Transfer, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord as additional rent Landlord’s reasonable costs related thereto, including, without limitation, a minimum fee to Landlord of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) and Landlord’s actual attorney’s fees and costs. 
  

	 	14.7	 	Continuing Liability of Tenant. 

  
 Notwithstanding any Transfer, Tenant shall remain as fully and primarily liable for the payment of Rent and for the performance of all other obligations
of Tenant contained in this Lease to the same extent as if the Transfer had not occurred; provided, however, that any act or omission of any transferee, other than Landlord, that violates the terms of this Lease shall be deemed a violation of this
Lease by Tenant. 
  

 - 19 - 

	 	14.8	 	Non-Waiver. 

  
 The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not relieve Tenant, or any person claiming through or by Tenant, terms, of the obligation to obtain the
consent of Landlord, pursuant to this Article XIV, to any further Transfer. In the event of an assignment or subletting, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee or the subtenant without waiving any rights hereunder and collection of the rent
from a person other than Tenant shall not be a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights under this Article XIV, an acceptance of assignee or subtenant as Tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this
Lease. If Tenant shall default under this Lease and fail to cure within the time permitted, Landlord is irrevocably authorized, as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct any transferee to make all payments under or in connection with
the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured. 
  
 ARTICLE XV – DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 
  

	 	15.1	 	Events of Default By Tenant. 

  
 The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant: 
  

	 	15.1.1	 	Failure to Pay Rent. 

  
 The failure by Tenant to pay Base Rent or make any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder within three (3) days of receiving written notice
of delinquency from Landlord. Any payment of Base Rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant that is not paid as and when due under the terms of this Lease shall be required to be paid by hand delivery to the on-site property management
office. Landlord’s acceptance of any partial payment of Base Rent or any other payments made by Tenant hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights, including the right to recover possession base on a properly served
default notice. 
  

	 	15.1.2	 	Abandonment. 

  
 The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant for fourteen (14) consecutive days without the payment of Rent. 
  

	 	15.1.3	 	Failure to Perform. 

  
 The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than those described in
Sections 15.1.1 and 15.1.2 above, if such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that it cannot be cured within the thirty (30) day
period, no default shall exist if Tenant commences the curing of the default within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. The thirty (30) day notice described herein shall be in lieu of, and not in
addition to, any notice required under Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any other law now or hereafter in effect requiring that notice of default be given prior to the commencement of an unlawful detainer or other legal
proceeding. 
  

	 	15.1.4	 	Bankruptcy. 

  
 The making by Tenant or its Guarantor of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, the filing by or against Tenant or its Guarantor of a
petition under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant or its Guarantor the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days after filing); the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take
possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets at the Premises or Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Premises, when possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the attachment, execution or other seizure of
substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Premises, if such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days. 
  

	 	15.1.5	 	Misstatement. 

  
 Any material misrepresentation herein, or material misrepresentation or omission in any financial statements provided by Tenant or any Guarantor in
connection with negotiating or entering into this Lease or in connection with any Transfer under Section 14.1. 
  

	 	15.2	 	Landlord’s Right To Terminate Upon Tenant Default. 

  
 In the event of any material default by Tenant as provided in Section 15.1 above, Landlord shall have, to the extent permitted by California Law, the
right to terminate this Lease and recover possession of the Premises by giving written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease, in which event Landlord shall be entitled to receive from Tenant: (a) the worth at the time
of award of any unpaid 
  

 - 20 - 

 Rent which had been earned at the time of such on award; plus (b) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which
the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid
Rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by
Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and (e) at Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as
may be permitted from time to time by applicable law. As used in subsections (a) and (b) above, “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest on such amounts at the then highest lawful rate of interest, but in no
event to exceed one percent (1%) per annum plus the rate established by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco on advances made to banks under Sections 13 and 13a of the Reserve Act (“discount rate”) prevailing at the time of award. As
used in subsection (c) above, “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount by (x) the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco prevailing at the time of award plus (y) one percent (1%).

  

	 	15.3	 	Mitigation of Damages. 

  
 If Landlord terminates this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate Landlord’s
damages except to the extent required by applicable law. If Landlord has not terminated this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate under any circumstances and may permit the
Premises to remain vacant or abandoned. If Landlord is required to mitigate damages as provided herein: (a) Landlord shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to mitigate, which shall not exceed such efforts as Landlord generally uses to
lease other space in the Building, (b) Landlord will not be deemed to have failed to mitigate if Landlord or its affiliates lease any other portions of the Building or other projects owned by Landlord or its affiliates in the same geographic area,
before re-letting the Premises or any portion of the Premises, and (c) any failure to mitigate as described herein with respect to any period of time shall only reduce the Rent and other amounts to which Landlord is entitled hereunder by the
reasonable rental value of the Premises during such period. 
  

	 	15.4	 	Landlord’s Right to Continue Lease Upon Tenant Default. 

  
 In the event of a default of this Lease by Tenant, and if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 15.2 above, Landlord may,
from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease or at law or in equity. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord
may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s default and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to Transfer, subject only to reasonable limitations). In the event Landlord re-lets the Premises, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the proceeds of any re–letting shall be applied first to pay to Landlord all costs and expenses of such re–letting (including without limitation, costs and expenses of retaking or repossessing the Premises, removing
persons and property therefrom, securing new tenants, including expenses for redecoration, alterations and other costs in connection with preparing the Premises for the new tenant, and if Landlord shall maintain and operate the Premises, the costs
thereof) and receivers’ fees incurred in connection with the appointment of and performance by a receiver to protect the Premises and Landlord’s interest under this Lease and any necessary or reasonable alterations; and second, to the
payment of any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than Rent due and unpaid hereunder; third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of other or future
obligations of Tenant to Landlord as the same may be due and payable, and the remainder shall promptly be returned to Tenant. 
  

	 	15.5	 	Right of Landlord to Perform. 

  
 All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If Tenant
shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any payment or perform any such
other act on Tenant’s part to be made or performed, without waiving or releasing Tenant of its obligations under this Lease. Any sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon at the lesser of the
maximum rate permitted by law if any or twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of such payment, shall be payable to Landlord as additional rent on demand and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies in the event of nonpayment as in the
case of default by Tenant in the payment of Rent. 
  

	 	15.6	 	Non-Waiver. 

  
 Nothing in this Article shall be deemed to affect Landlord’s rights to indemnification for liability or liabilities arising prior to termination of
this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession for personal injury or property damages under the indemnification clause or clauses contained in this Lease. No acceptance by 
  

 - 21 - 

 Landlord of a lesser sum than the Rent then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment
of such rent due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s
right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy in the Lease provided. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or to Landlord’s agent or any employee thereof shall not operate as a termination of this Lease
or a surrender of the Premises. 
  

	 	15.7	 	Cumulative Remedies. 

  
 The specific remedies to which Landlord may resort under the terms of the Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies
or means of redress to which it may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any provisions of the Lease. In addition to the other remedies provided in the Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to a restraint by
injunction of the violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of the Lease or to a decree compelling specific performance of any such covenants, conditions or provisions. 
  

	 	15.8	 	Default by Landlord. 

  
 Landlord’s failure to perform or observe any of its obligations under this Lease shall constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease only if such
failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days (or if the cure reasonably takes more than thirty (30) days, and Landlord commences to undertake the cure within the thirty (30) day period, then the additional time, if any, which is
reasonably necessary to promptly and diligently cure the failure) after Landlord receives written notice from Tenant specifying the default. The notice shall give in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the failure and shall identify the Lease
provision(s) containing the obligation(s). If Landlord shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease (after notice and opportunity to cure as provided herein), Tenant may pursue any remedies available to it under the
law and this Lease, except that in no event shall Landlord be liable for punitive damages, lost profits, business interruption, speculative, consequential or other such damages. In recognition that Landlord must receive timely payments of Rent and
operate the Building, Tenant shall have no right of self-help to perform repairs or any other obligation of Landlord, and shall have no right to withhold, set-off, or abate Rent, except as specifically set forth in this Lease. 
  
 ARTICLE XVI – ATTORNEY’S FEES; INDEMNIFICATION

  

	 	16.1	 	Attorneys’ Fees. 

  
 If either Landlord or Tenant shall commence any action or other proceeding against the other arising out of, or relating to, this Lease or the Premises,
the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the losing party, in addition to any other relief, its actual attorneys’ fees irrespective of whether or not the action or other proceeding is prosecuted to judgment and irrespective of any
court schedule of reasonable attorneys’ fees. In addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in collecting Rent or otherwise seeking interpretation of this Lease or enforcement
against Tenant, its sublessees and assigns, of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. 
  

	 	16.2	 	Indemnification. 

  
 Should Landlord be made a party to any litigation instituted by Tenant against a party other than Landlord, or by a third party against Tenant, Tenant
shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord from any and all loss, cost, liability, damage or expense incurred by Landlord, including attorneys’ fees, in connection with the litigation. 
  
 ARTICLE XVII – SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT 
  

	 	17.1	 	Subordination. 

  
 This Lease, and the rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate to the interests of (i) all present and future ground leases and
master leases of all or any part of the Building; (ii) present and future mortgages and deeds of trust encumbering all or any part of the Building; (iii) all past and future advances made under any such mortgages or deeds of trust; and (iv) all
renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of any such ground leases, master leases, mortgages and deeds of trust; provided, however, that any lessor under any such ground lease or master lease or any mortgagee or beneficiary under any
such mortgage or deed of trust (any such lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary is hereinafter referred to as a “Mortgagee”) shall have the right to elect, by written notice given to Tenant, to have this Lease made superior in whole or in part
to any such ground lease, master lease, mortgage or deed of trust (or subject and subordinate to such ground lease, master lease, mortgage 
  

 - 22 - 

 or deed of trust but superior to any junior mortgage or junior deed of trust). Upon demand, Tenant shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver any instruments reasonably requested by Landlord or any such Mortgagee to effect the purposes of this Section 17.1. Such instruments may contain, among other things, provisions to the effect that such Mortgagee (hereafter,
for the purposes of this Section 17.1, a “Successor Landlord”) shall (a) not be liable for any act or omission of Landlord or its predecessors, if any, prior to the date of such Successor Landlord’s succession to Landlord’s
interest under this Lease; (b) not be subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have been able to assert against Landlord or its predecessors, if any, prior to the date of such Successor Landlord’s succession to Landlord’s
interest under this Lease; (c) not be liable for the return of any security deposit under the Lease unless the same shall have actually been deposited with such Successor Landlord; (d) be entitled to receive notice of any Landlord default under this
Lease plus a reasonable opportunity to cure such default prior to Tenant having any right or ability to terminate this Lease as a result of such Landlord default; (e) not be bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more
than the current month to Landlord; (f) not be bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease or any cancellation of the same made without Successor Landlord’s prior written consent; (g) not be bound by any obligation to make any payment
to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time such Successor Landlord succeeded to Landlord’s interest, and (h) not be bound by any obligation under the Lease to perform any work or to make any improvements to the demised Premises.
Any obligations of any Successor Landlord under its respective lease shall be non-recourse as to any assets of such Successor Landlord other than its interest in the Building and its related improvements. Not withstanding the foregoing,
Tenant’s Subordination shall only be effective as to the extent that the future Mortgagee agrees that this Lease shall survive the termination of the Mortgagee’s interest by lapse of time, foreclosure or otherwise so long as Tenant is not
in default under this Lease. 
  

	 	17.2	 	Attornment. 

  
 If the interests of Landlord under the Lease shall be transferred to any superior Mortgagee or Successor Landlord or other purchaser or person taking
title to the Building by reason of the termination of any superior lease or the foreclosure of any superior mortgage or deed of trust, and so long as such Successor Landlord or Mortgagee agrees not to disturb Tenant’s possession of the Premises
under this Lease, Tenant shall be bound to such Successor Landlord under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof remaining and any extensions or renewals thereof which may be effected in accordance
with any option therefor in the Lease, with the same force and effect as if Successor Landlord were the landlord under the Lease, and Tenant shall attorn to and recognize as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease such Successor Landlord, as its
landlord, said attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments upon Successor Landlord’s succeeding to the interest of Landlord under the Lease. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is (a) the
assignee of the lessor’s interest in that certain Ground Lease dated June 11, 1963 (“Existing Ground Lease”) for the land underlying the Building, and (b) the assignee of the lessee’s interest in the Ground Lease. Upon expiration
or termination of the Existing Ground Lease, Tenant will attorn to and continue to recognize Landlord as the landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall, upon demand, execute any documents reasonably requested by any such person to evidence the
attornment described in this Section 17.2. Concurrently, upon written request from Tenant, and provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Landlord agrees to use diligent, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Non-Disturbance Agreement
from the Successor Landlord, ground lessor or master lessor (if different from Landlord), or any Mortgagee. Such Non-Disturbance Agreement may be embodied in the Mortgagee’s customary form of Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement. If,
after exerting diligent, commercially reasonable efforts, Landlord is unable to obtain a Non-Disturbance Agreement from any such Mortgagee, Landlord shall have no further obligation to Tenant with respect thereto. 
  

	 	17.3	 	Mortgagee Protection. 

  
 Tenant agrees to give any Mortgagee, by registered or certified mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord by Tenant, provided that prior
to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of Assignment of Rents and Leases, or otherwise) of the address of such Mortgagee (hereafter the “Notified Party”). Tenant further agrees that if
Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within twenty (20) days after such notice to Landlord (or if such default cannot be cured or corrected within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if Landlord has commenced within
such twenty (20) days and is diligently pursuing the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such default), then the Notified Party shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure or correct such default (or if such default
cannot be cured or corrected within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if the Notified Party has commenced within such thirty (30) days and is diligently pursuing the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such
default). Until the time allowed, as aforesaid, for the Notified Party to cure such default has expired without cure, Tenant shall have no right to, and shall not, terminate this Lease on account of Landlord’s default.

 ARTICLE XVIII – MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	 	18.1	 	Quiet Enjoyment. 

  
 Provided that Tenant performs all of its obligations hereunder, Tenant shall have and peaceably enjoy the Premises during the Lease Term free of claims by
or through Landlord, subject to all of the terms and conditions contained in this Lease. 
  

	 	18.2	 	Rules and Regulations. 

  
 The Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit C are hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof. Tenant shall abide by, and
faithfully observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations and any reasonable and non-discriminatory amendments, modifications and/or additions thereto as may hereafter be adopted and published by written notice to tenants by Landlord for the
safety, care, security, good order and/or cleanliness of the Premises and/or the Building. Landlord shall enforce the Rules and Regulations in a non-discriminatory manner, but will not be liable to Tenant for any violation of rules or regulations by
any other tenant or occupant of the Building. 
  

	 	18.3	 	Estoppel Certificates. 

  
 Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time, upon not less than twenty (20) days’ prior written notice from Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Landlord a statement in writing addressed and certifying to Landlord, to any current or prospective Mortgagee or any assignee thereof, to any prospective purchaser of the land, improvements or both comprising the Building, and to any
other party designated by Landlord, that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications); that Tenant has accepted
possession of the Premises, which are acceptable in all respects, and that any improvements required by the terms of this Lease to be made by Landlord have been completed to the satisfaction of Tenant (or if such improvements have not been completed
to the satisfaction of Tenant, stating in what way the improvements are unsatisfactory under the terms of this Lease or the Work Letter Agreement); that Tenant is in full occupancy of the Premises; that no rent has been paid more than thirty (30)
days in advance; that the first month’s Base Rent has been paid; that Tenant is entitled to no free rent or other concessions except as stated in this Lease; that Tenant has not been notified of any previous assignment of Landlord’s or any
predecessor landlord’s interest under this Lease; the dates to which Base Rent, additional rental and other charges have been paid; that Tenant, as of the date of such certificate, has no charge, lien or claim of setoff under this Lease or
otherwise against Base Rent, additional rental or other charges due or to become due under this Lease (or if Tenant asserts a charge, lien or claim of setoff under this Lease, then Tenant will specify the amount sought pursuant to which such charge,
lien or claim of setoff is being sought); that Landlord is not in default in performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease; or any other matter relating to this Lease or the Premises or, if so, specifying each such
default. If there is a Guaranty under this Lease, said Guarantor shall confirm the validity of the Guaranty by joining in the execution of the Estoppel Certificate or other documents so requested by Landlord or Mortgagee. In addition, in the event
that such certificate is being given to any Mortgagee, such statement may contain any other provisions customarily required by such Mortgagee including, without limitations an agreement on the part of Tenant to furnish to such Mortgagee, written
notice of any Landlord default and a reasonable opportunity for such Mortgagee to cure such default prior to Tenant being able to terminate this Lease. Any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by Landlord or any
Mortgagee, or prospective purchaser to whom it is addressed and such statement, if required by its addressee, may so specifically state. If Tenant does not execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord the statement as and when required herein,
Landlord is hereby granted an irrevocable power-of-attorney, coupled with an interest, to execute such statement on Tenant’s behalf, which statement shall be binding on Tenant to the same extent as if executed by Tenant. 
  

	 	18.4	 	Entry by Landlord. 

  
 Landlord may enter the Premises at reasonable times and frequency to: inspect the same; exhibit the same to prospective purchasers, Mortgagees or tenants;
determine whether Tenant is complying with all of its obligations under this Lease; supply janitorial and other services to be provided by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease; post notices of non-responsibility; and make repairs or improvements in
or to the Building or the Premises; provided, however, that all such work shall be done as promptly as reasonably possible and so as to cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably possible. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any
injury or inconvenience to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises or any other loss occasioned by such entry, unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.
Landlord at all times shall have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, on or about the Premises (excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and similar areas designated by Tenant in writing in advance), and Landlord shall have the
right to use any and all means by which Landlord may deem proper to open such doors to obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any such means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be or
construed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the 
  

 - 24 - 

 Premises or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from any part of the Premises. Such entry by Landlord shall
not act as a termination of Tenant’s duties under this Lease. If Landlord shall be required to obtain entry by means other than a key provided by Tenant, the cost of such entry shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent.

  

	 	18.5	 	Landlord’s Lease Undertakings. 

  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease or in any exhibits, Riders or addenda hereto attached (collectively the “Lease
Documents”), it is expressly understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that: (a) the recourse of Tenant or its successors or assigns against Landlord with respect to the alleged breach by or on the part of Landlord of any
representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking or agreement contained in any of the Lease Documents or otherwise arising out of Tenant’s use of the Premises or the Building (collectively, “Landlord’s Lease Undertaking”) shall
extend only to Landlord’s interest in the real estate of which the Premises demised under the Lease Documents are a part (“Landlord’s Real Estate”) and not to any other assets of Landlord or its beneficiaries; and (b) no personal
liability or personal responsibility of any sort with respect to any of Landlord’s Lease Undertakings or any alleged breach thereof is assumed by, or shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against, Landlord, OTR, an Ohio general
partnership, Seagate Properties, Inc., or against any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, constituent partners, beneficiaries, trustees or representatives. Tenant acknowledges that this Lease is executed by certain
general partners of OTR, not individually but solely on behalf of, and as the authorized nominee and agent for, the State Teachers Retirement Board of Ohio, and Tenant and all persons dealing with Landlord waive any right to bring a cause of action
against the individuals executing this Lease on behalf of Landlord and must look solely to the Landlord’s Real Estate for the enforcement of any claim against Landlord. 
  

	 	18.6	 	Transfer of Landlord’s Interest. 

  
 In the event of any transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall be automatically freed and relieved from all applicable liability
with respect to performance of any covenant or obligation on the part of Landlord under this Lease occurring after the date of such transfer, provided any deposits or advance rents held by Landlord are turned over to the grantee and said grantee
expressly assumes, subject to the limitations of this Lease, all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed on the part of Landlord, it being intended hereby that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the
part of Landlord shall, subject to all the provisions of this Lease, be binding on Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during their respective periods of ownership. 
  

	 	18.7	 	Holdover. 

  
 If Tenant holds possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination of the Lease Term, by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall become a
tenant at sufferance upon all of the terms contained herein, except as to Lease Term and Rent. During such holdover period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly rental equivalent to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Rent payable by Tenant to
Landlord with respect to the last month of the Lease Term. The monthly rent payable for such holdover period shall in no event be construed as a penalty or as liquidated damages for such retention of possession. Without limiting the foregoing,
Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, its beneficiary, and their respective agents, contractors and employees, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, actions, losses, damages (including without limitation,
direct, indirect, incidental and consequential) and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) asserted against or sustained by any such party and arising from or by reason of such retention of
possession, which obligations shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease Term. 
  

	 	18.8	 	Notices. 

  
 All notices which Landlord or Tenant may be required, or may desire, to serve on the other may be served, as an alternative to personal service, by
mailing the same by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested, or by Federal Express or other nationally recognized courier service, addressed to Landlord at the address for Landlord get forth in Section 1.14 above and
to Tenant at the address for Tenant set forth in Section 1.15 above, or, from and after the Commencement Date, to Tenant at the Premises whether or not Tenant has departed from, abandoned or vacated the Premises, or addressed to such other address
or addresses as either Landlord or Tenant may from time to time designate to the other in writing. Any notice shall be deemed to have been served at the time it was received. 
  

	 	18.9	 	Brokers. 

  
 The parties recognize as the broker(s) who procured this Lease the firm(s) specified in Section 1.16 and agree that Landlord shall be solely responsible
for the payment of any brokerage commissions to said broker(s), and that Tenant shall have no responsibility therefor unless written provision to the contrary has been made a part of this Lease. If Tenant has dealt with any other person or real
estate broker in respect to leasing, subleasing or renting space in the Building, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the payment 
  

 - 25 - 

 of any fee due said person or firm and Tenant shall protect, indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord from any
liability in respect thereto. 
  

	 	18.10	 	Communications and Computer Lines. 

  
 Tenant may, in a manner consistent with the provisions and requirements of this Lease, install, maintain, replace, remove or use any communications or
computer wires, cables and related devices (collectively the “Lines”) at the Building in or serving the Premises, provided: (a) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be conditioned as required by
Landlord, (b) if Tenant at any time uses any equipment that may create an electromagnetic field exceeding the normal insulation ratings of ordinary twisted pair riser cable or cause radiation higher than normal background radiation, the Lines
therefor (including riser cables) shall be appropriately insulated to prevent such excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation, and (c) Tenant shall pay all costs in connection therewith. Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove
any Lines which are installed in violation of these provisions. 
  

	 	18.10.1	 	New Lines. 

  
 Landlord may (but shall not have the obligation to): (a) install new Lines at the Property, and (b) create additional space for Lines at the Property, and
adopt reasonable and uniform rules and regulations with respect to the Lines. 
  

	 	18.10.2	 	Line Problems. 

  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any or all Lines installed by
or for Tenant within or serving the Premises. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, grant to any third party a security interest or lien in or on the Lines, and any such security interest or lien granted
without Landlord’s written consent shall be null and void. Except to the extent arising from the intentional or negligent acts of Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees, Landlord shall have no liability for damages arising from, and
Landlord does not warrant that Tenant’s use of any Lines will be free from the following, (collectively called “Line Problems”): (a) any eavesdropping or wire-tapping by unauthorized parties, (b) any failure of any Lines to satisfy
Tenant’s requirements, or (c) any shortages, failures, variations, interruptions, disconnections, loss or damage caused by the installation, maintenance, replacement, use or removal of Lines by or for other tenants or occupants at the Property.
Under no circumstances shall any Line Problems be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord
in no event shall be liable for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption or other consequential damage arising from any Line Problems. 
  

	 	18.10.3	 	Removal of Electrical and Telecommunication Wires, Lines and Equipment. 

  
 (i) Landlord May Elect to Either Remove or Keep Wires. 
  
 Within ten (10) days after the expiration or sooner termination of the
Lease, Landlord may elect (“Election Right”) by written notice to Tenant to: 
  
 (a) Retain any or all wiring, cables, riser, and similar installations appurtenant thereto installed by Tenant in the risers of the
Building (“Wiring”); 
  
 (b) Remove any
or all such Wiring and restore the Premises and risers to their condition prior to the installation of the Wiring (“Wiring Restoration Work”). Landlord shall perform such Wire Restoration Work at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; or

 (c) Require Tenant to perform the Wire Restoration Work at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

 In the event Landlord elects to retain the
Wiring (pursuant to Paragraph (i)(a) hereof), Tenant covenants that: 
  
 (a) Tenant shall be the sole owner of such Wiring, that Tenant shall have the right to surrender such Wiring, and that such Wiring shall be free of all liens and encumbrances; and 
  
 (b) All Wiring shall be left in good condition. 

 
 (iv) Landlord Can Apply Security Deposit.

  
 In the event Tenant fails or refuses to pay all costs of the

 reimbursement for or payment of such costs, Landlord may apply all or any portion of Tenant’s Security Deposit
toward the payment of such unpaid costs relative to the Wiring Restoration Work. 
  
 (v) No Limit on Right to Sue. 
  
 The retention or application of such Security Deposit by Landlord pursuant to this Clause does not constitute a limitation on or waiver of Landlord’s
right to seek further remedy under law or equity. 
  

	 	18.11	 	Entire Agreement. 

  
 This Lease contains all of the agreements and understandings relating to the leasing of the Premises and the obligations of Landlord and Tenant in
connection with such leasing. Landlord has not made, and Tenant is not relying upon, any warranties, or representations, promises or statements made by Landlord or any agent of Landlord, except as expressly set forth herein. This Lease supersedes
any and all prior agreements and understandings between Landlord and Tenant and alone expresses the agreement of the parties. 
  

	 	18.12	 	Amendments. 

  
 This Lease shall not be amended, changed or modified in any way unless in writing executed by Landlord and Tenant. Landlord shall not have waived or
released any of its rights hereunder unless in writing and executed by Landlord.

	 	18.14	 	Force Majeure. 

  
 Landlord shall incur no liability to Tenant with respect to, and shall not be responsible for any failure to perform, any of Landlord’s obligations
hereunder if such failure is caused by any reason beyond the control of Landlord including, but not limited to, strike, labor trouble, governmental rule, regulations, ordinance, statute or interpretation, or by fire, earthquake, civil commotion, or
failure or disruption of utility services. The amount of time for Landlord to perform any of Landlord’s obligations shall be extended by the amount of time Landlord is delayed in performing such obligation by reason of any event of force
majeure occurrence whether similar to or different from the foregoing types of occurrences. Notwithstanding the above, if Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations under the Lease pursuant to any event of force majeure, and if such failure
renders the Premises substantially unusable for Tenant’s purposes, then Tenant may abate its obligations to pay rent until such time as Landlord has cured such failure. 
  

	 	18.15	 	Survival of Obligations. 

  
 Any obligations of Tenant accruing prior to the expiration of the Lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, and Tenant shall
promptly perform all such obligations whether or not this Lease has expired or been terminated.

 No diminution or shutting off of any light, air or view by any structure now or hereafter erected shall in any manner affect this Lease or the obligations

 This Lease shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California. 
  

	 	18.18	 	Severability. 

  
 In the event any provision of this Lease is found to be unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected, and any provision found to be
invalid shall be enforceable to the extent permitted by law. The parties agree that in the event two different interpretations may be given to any provision hereunder, one of which will render the provision unenforceable, and one of which will
render the provision enforceable, the interpretation rendering the provision enforceable shall be adopted. 
  

	 	18.19	 	Captions. 

  
 All captions, headings, titles, numerical references and computer highlighting are for convenience only and shall have no effect on the interpretation of
this Lease. Accordingly, this Lease shall be 
  

 - 27 - 

 construed neither for nor against Landlord or Tenant, but shall be given a fair and reasonable interpretation in
accordance with the plain meaning of its terms, and the intent of the parties. 
  

	 	18.20	 	Interpretation. 

  
 Tenant acknowledges that it has read and reviewed this Lease and that it has had the opportunity to confer with counsel in the negotiation of this Lease.
Accordingly, this Lease shall be construed neither for nor against Landlord or Tenant, but shall be given a fair and reasonable interpretation in accordance with the plain meaning of its terms and the intent of the parties. 
  

	 	18.21	 	Independent Covenants. 

  
 Each covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant are separate and independent covenants of Tenant, and not
dependent on any other provision of the Lease.

 All terms and words used in this Lease, regardless of the number or gender in which they are used, shall be deemed to include the appropriate number and

 If Tenant comprises more than one person or entity, or if this Lease is guaranteed by any party, all such persons shall be jointly and severally liable
for payment of rents and the performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. 
  

	 	18.25	 	Exhibits. 

  
 Exhibits A (Floor Plan), B (Work Letter Agreement), C (Rules and Regulations), D (Intentionally Deleted), and E (Tenant Acceptance Letter), and are
incorporated into this Lease by reference and made a part hereof. 
  

	 	18.26	 	Offer to Lease. 

  
 The submission of this Lease to Tenant or its broker or other agent, does not constitute an offer to Tenant to lease the Premises. This Lease shall have
no force and effect until (a) it is executed and delivered by Tenant to Landlord, and (b) it is fully reviewed, executed and delivered by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that upon execution of this Lease by Tenant and delivery to Landlord,
such execution and delivery by Tenant shall, in consideration of the time and expense incurred by Landlord in reviewing the Lease and Tenant’s credit, constitute an offer by Tenant to Lease the Premises upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein (which offer to Lease shall be irrevocable for fifteen (15) business days following the date of delivery). 
  

	 	18.27	 	No Counterclaim; Choice of Laws. 

  
 Landlord and Tenant agree that the laws of the State of California shall govern and that venue for any action between Landlord and Tenant shall be proper
if brought in the City and County of San Francisco. LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE OR THE PREMISES. If commences
any unlawful detainer action or dispossessory proceedings, Tenant agrees not to consolidate such action or proceeding with any other proceeding, and waives any right to assert any counterclaim in such action or proceeding. 
  

	 	18.28	 	Rights Reserved by Landlord. 

  
 Landlord reserves the following rights exercisable without notice (except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease) and without being
deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises or giving rise to any claim for set-off or abatement of Rent: (a) to change the name or street address of the Building; (b) to install, affix and maintain all signs
on the exterior and/or interior of the Building; (c) to designate and/or approve prior to installation, all types of signs, window shades, blinds, drapes, awnings or other similar items, and all internal lighting that may be visible from the

furniture, fixtures, equipment, art work, wall coverings, carpet and decorations, and all changes, additions and removals thereto, shall, at all times have the appearance of Premises having the same type of exposure and used for substantially the
same purposes that are generally prevailing in comparable office buildings in the area; (d) to change the location or any other tenant, the arrangement, size, character, use or location of entrances or passageways, doors, doorways, corridors,
elevators, escalators, stairs, landscaping, toilets or any other part of the 
  

 - 28 - 

 Building, or to change common area to tenant space and tenant space to common area; (e) to grant any party the exclusive
right to conduct any business or render any service in the Building, provided such exclusive right shall not operate to prohibit Tenant from using the Premises for the purposes permitted under this Lease; (f) to prohibit the placement of vending or
dispensing machines of any kind in or about the Premises other than for use by Tenant’s employees; (g) to prohibit the placement of video or other electronic games in the Premises; (h) to have access for Landlord and other tenants of the
Building to any mail chutes and boxes located in or on the Premises according to the rules of the United States Post Office and to discontinue any mail chute business in the Building; (i) to close the Building after normal business hours, except

	 	18.29	 	Asbestos. 

  
 Tenant acknowledges that it has been expressly disclosed to Tenant by Landlord’s Managing Agent that the Building and the Premises contain asbestos
containing materials (“ACM”). The acknowledgment by Tenant of the ACM does not in any manner impose any liability or responsibility on Tenant for removal, treatment, or abatement of such ACM or any responsibility whatsoever regarding such
ACM provided, however, that Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with any work in the Premises including, but not limited to, work which requires entry into the ceiling. 
  

	 	18.30	 	ADR Process. 

  
 If Landlord and Tenant are unable for any reason to timely agree on (i) the Prevailing Rental Rate referenced in Section 3.2.1, if applicable, or (ii) the
correction of alleged errors in Landlord’s Statement as provided in Section 4.4. or (iii) the amount of Base Rent to be abated if an interruption of services or utilities occurs as described in Section 7.2 or an impairment to the Premises
occurs due to Landlord’s failure to maintain or repair as described in Section 8.2 (collectively, “Specified Disputes”), then Landlord and Tenant agree that all Specified Disputes shall be resolved pursuant to the neutral
binding alternative dispute resolution process (“ADR Process”) described below. Landlord and Tenant (acting together or individually) shall submit a notice of a Specified Dispute (“Notice of Dispute”) to JAMS
(defined below) which Notice sets forth the details of the dispute and requests JAMS to implement the ADR Process set forth below. 
  

	 	18.30.1	 	ADR Process. 

  
 The Notice of Dispute shall be delivered to the San Francisco office of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”) for binding
resolution pursuant to the ADR Process. The ADR Process shall be conducted according to the following procedure: 
  
 (i) The ADR Process shall be conducted in San Francisco, California. 
  
 (ii) JAMS shall promptly select a single retired California Superior Court Judge to be the hearing officer
(“Hearing Officer”). The Hearing Officer shall not have any actual or perceived conflict of interest with Landlord or Tenant, any affiliate or subsidiary or their respective counsel and absent any conflict, neither Landlord or
Tenant shall have the right to object to the Hearing Officer. The Hearing Officer shall have extensive and recent civil trial experience and shall not have been primarily a criminal courts judge during his/her career. The first hearing day shall be
scheduled not later than thirty (30) calendar days following appointment of the Hearing Officer and the hearing process shall be concluded within thirty (30) calendar days from commencement. 
  
 (iii) The Hearing Officer shall preside over the ADR
Process, shall accept relevant evidence, and may (in her/her discretion) hear live testimony of the parties and their expert and other witnesses, examine and cross-examine the parties and their witnesses, allow counsel to examine and cross-examine
witnesses, hear arguments of counsel, and otherwise conduct and control a hearing as if he/she were sitting as a California Superior Court Judge without a jury. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Hearing Officer shall orally announce a tentative
decision as to the disagreement(s) which form the basis of the Specified Dispute(s). In announcing the tentative decision and in rendering the Final Award (defined below), the Hearing Officer shall be required to follow California law in the
interpretation of any document or agreement (including this Lease), in admitting evidence and in fashioning a remedy. The Hearing Officer shall not have the power or authority to award any amount in the nature or character of punitive or exemplary
damages, but shall have the power to issue an award for compensatory damages based on breach or default of the Lease, shall have the power to issue injunctive or other equitable relief where appropriate, shall have the power to issue a judgment for
unlawful detainer of the Premises, and shall have the power to issue an award for attorneys’ fees and costs as allowed by this Lease. 
  
  

 - 29 - 

 (iv) Within ten (10) calendar days following conclusion of the oral hearing, the Hearing
Officer shall prepare and deliver to each of the parties a written decision, accompanied by a statement of facts, law, underlying reasons and conclusions necessary to fully explain his/her decision (“Final Award”). If the Final
Award requires payment by one party of any amount of money to the other party, the Hearing Officer shall require that payment be made within thirty (30) calendar days following issuance of the Final Award, and, if payment is not timely made, the
Final Award shall provide the party to whom payment is due with the right but not the obligation to seek immediate enforcement of the Final Award by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 (v) The Final Award shall be binding on each party to the dispute, shall be admissible in any court of law
for any purpose reasonably related thereto (including, but not limited to, for the purpose of determining whether or not a breach or default under the Lease has occurred), and either party may petition the California Superior Court to enter the
Final Award as the final judgement and award of the court and/or to enforce enforcement of a Final Award. 
  
 (vi) Each party shall pay one-half of the fees and costs for JAMS and the Hearing Officer. If advance payment or deposit is required prior
to commencement of the ADR Process, each party to the dispute hereby represents and warrants that it will timely pay and deposit said amount. The failure to timely pay any amounts requested by the Hearing Officer or JAMS shall constitute an
immediate and material event of default and if said amounts are not timely paid following receipt of a five (5) business day notice and demand to pay, the Hearing Officer shall be required (without the taking of any evidence or testimony) to issue a
Final Award in favor of the party to the dispute timely paying its fees, on the terms and conditions requested by said party, which shall be final and binding. 
  

	 	18.31	 	Miscellaneous: Signage. 

  
 Upon move-in, Tenant shall receive from Landlord at Landlord’s cost: 
  
 (1) One (1) suite sign insert which includes insert and one (1) line of verbiage

 Exhibit 10.5 
  
 Pulaski Financial Corp. 
 Deferred Compensation Plan 
  
 Article 1 
 Effective Date and Purpose 
  
 1.1 Effective Date. The Pulaski Financial Corp. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) is effective as of
January 1, 2002. 
  
 1.2 Purpose. The Plan is a deferred
compensation plan, the primary purpose of which is to provide directors and key employees of Pulaski Bank (the “Bank”) and its affiliated companies with the opportunity to voluntarily defer a portion of their compensation, subject to the
terms of the Plan. By adopting the Plan, Pulaski Financial Corp. (the “Company”) and the Bank desire to enhance their ability to attract and retain employees of outstanding competence by providing such individuals with an opportunity to
increase their equity interest in the Company by investing deferrals in shares of Company common stock (“Common Stock”). 
  
 Article 2 
 Administration

  
 2.1 The Committee. The Plan shall be administered
by the Compensation Committee of the Board or any other successor committee appointed by the Board (the “Committee”). 
  
 2.2 Authority of the Committee. The Committee shall have authority to select eligible employees of the Bank for participation in the Plan;
determine the terms and conditions of each employee’s participation in the Plan; interpret the Plan; establish, amend, or waive rules and regulations for the Plan’s administration; and, subject to Article 8 herein, amend the terms and
conditions of the Plan and any agreement entered into under the Plan. Further, the Committee shall make all other determinations which may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. As permitted by law, the Committee may delegate
any of its authority granted under the Plan to such other person or entity it deems appropriate, including but not limited to, senior management of the Bank. 
  
 2.3 Guidelines. Subject to the provisions herein, the Committee may adopt written guidelines for the implementation and administration of the Plan.

  
 2.4 Decisions Binding. All determinations and decisions
of the Committee arising under the Plan shall be final binding, and conclusive upon all parties. 
  
 Article 3 
 Eligibility and Participation 
  
 3.1 Eligibility. Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, persons eligible to
be selected to participate in the Plan in any fiscal year (a “Year”) shall include full-time, salaried or commission-based employees of the Bank, its subsidiaries, and affiliates who are key employees, as determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion. 

 3.2 Limitation on Eligibility. It is the intent of the Company that the Plan qualify for treatment
as a “top hat” plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time, or any successor Act thereto (“ERISA”). Accordingly, to the extent required by ERISA to obtain such “top hat”
treatment, eligibility shall be extended only to those executives who comprise a select group of management or highly compensated employees. Further, the Committee may place such additional limitations on eligibility as it deems necessary and
appropriate under the circumstances. 
  
 3.3 Participation.
Participation in the Plan and the extent of such participation shall be determined by the Committee based upon the criteria set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 herein. An employee who is chosen to participate in the Plan in any Year (a
“Participant”) shall be so notified in writing. In the event a Participant selected to participate in the Plan no longer meets the criteria for participation, such Participant shall become an inactive Participant, retaining all the rights
described under the Plan, except the right to make any further deferrals, until such time that the Participant again becomes an active Participant. 
  
 3.4 Partial Year Eligibility. In the event that an individual first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan during a Year, such individual
shall, within thirty (30) calendar days of becoming eligible, be notified by the Bank of his or her eligibility to participate, and the Bank shall provide each such individual with an Election Form, which must be completed by the individual as
provided in Section 4.2 herein. 
  
 3.5 No Right to
Participate. Except as otherwise set forth in a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Agreement, no employee shall have the right to be selected as a Participant, or having been so selected for any given Year, to be selected again as a
Participant for any other Year. 
  
 Article 4 
 Deferral Opportunity 
  
 4.1 Deferrals 
  
 (a) Amount Which May Be Deferred by a Participant. A Participant may elect to defer, in any Year, the eligible components of Compensation (as
described below); provided, however, that the Committee shall have sole discretion to designate which components of Compensation are eligible for deferral elections under the Plan in any given Year. In addition, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, designate the maximum or minimum amount or increments of any single eligible component of Compensation which may be deferred in any Year or establish any other limitations as it deems appropriate in any Year. 
  
 The components of “Compensation” shall include (i)
“Salary” defined as all regular, basic wages, before reduction for amounts deferred pursuant to the Plan or any other plan of the Bank or the Company, payable in cash to a Participant for services to be rendered, exclusive of 

  

 2 

 
any Bonus, other special fees, awards, or incentive compensation, allowances, or amounts designated by the Bank as payment toward or reimbursement of
expenses, (ii) “Bonus” defined as any incentive award based on an assessment of performance, payable by the Bank to a Participant with respect to the Participant’s services during a Year, and (iii) “Commissions” defined as
fees earned in connection with loan originations and other transactions with the Bank or its affiliates. 
  
 (b) Non-Elective Deferrals. In addition to any elective deferral contributions made by a Participant under subsection (a) hereof, the Bank, in it
sole discretion, may, but shall not be required to, credit to a Participant’s Account as a nonelective deferral contribution (a “Bank Contribution”) any amount it determines appropriate. The amount so credited, if any, may vary from
Participant to Participant and may be zero even if a contribution is made on behalf of another Participant. The Bank may also express a Bank Contribution as a matching contribution equal to a percentage of the Participant’s annual elective
deferral contributions, if any. Subject to a written agreement between the Company, the Bank and the Participant, the Bank may require deferral of a portion of the Participant’s Compensation on a non-elective basis and such deferral shall be
treated as a Bank Contribution. 
  
 4.2 Time of Deferral
Election. An election to defer a component of Compensation permitted by the Committee to be deferred by a Participant under the Plan shall be given effect in accordance with the following timing rules: 
  
 (a) An election to defer Salary or Commissions shall apply only to Salary or
Commissions earned for payroll periods beginning after a properly executed Election Form has been filed with the Committee. 
  
 (b) An election to defer a Bonus for any Year shall apply only if a properly executed Election Form has been filed with the Committee before the beginning
of the Year to which the Bonus relates. 
  
 4.3 Content of
Deferral Election. All deferral elections shall be irrevocable, and shall be made on a form or forms prescribed by the Committee (an “Election Form”), as described herein. Participants shall make the following irrevocable elections on
each Election Form: 
  
 (a) The amount to be deferred with
respect to each eligible component of Compensation for the Years; 
  
 (b) The length of the deferral period with respect to each eligible component of Compensation, subject to the terms of Section 4.4 herein; and 
  
 (c) The method of distribution to be made to the Participant at the end of the deferral period(s), subject to the terms of Section 4.5 herein. 

 
 Notwithstanding the amounts requested to be deferred pursuant to subparagraph (a) above,
the limits on deferrals set forth in Section 4.1 herein shall apply to the requested deferrals each Year. 
  

 3 

 A Participant may, from time to time, modify a deferral election with respect to previously deferred
amounts, including a modification as to the length of the deferral period or the form of distribution at the end of such period; provided, however, that a modification of the terms of a prior deferral election shall only be effective one (1) year
after the date on which it is submitted in writing to the Bank and subject to the approval of the Committee. 
  
 4.4 Length of Deferral. The deferral periods elected by each Participant with respect to deferrals of Compensation for any Year shall be at least
equal to one (1) year following the end of the Year to which the deferral relates, unless such deferral is a Bank Contribution subject to a vesting schedule. 
  
 4.5 Distribution of Deferred Amounts. Participants shall be entitled to elect to receive distribution of deferred amounts, at the end of the
deferral period in a single lump sum distribution, by means of installments, or in such other format approved by the Committee. 
  
 (a) Lump Sum Distribution. Such distribution shall be made in the form of whole shares of Common Stock within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar
days of the date specified by the Participant as the date for distribution of deferred amounts as described in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 hereof, or as soon thereafter as practicable. 
  
 (b) Installment Distribution. Participants may elect distribution in annual installments, with a minimum number of
installments of two (2) and a maximum of ten (10). The initial distribution shall be made in the form of shares of Common Stock within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after the commencement date selected by the Participant pursuant to
Sections 4.3 and 4.4 hereof, or as soon thereafter as practicable. The remaining distributions shall be made in shares of Common Stock each year thereafter, until the Participant’s entire deferred compensation account has been distributed. The
number of shares distributable with respect to each installment shall be equal to the balance of the number of Common Stock Units remaining in the Participant’s deferred compensation account immediately prior to each such distribution,
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one (1), and the denominator of which is the number of installments remaining. 
  
 (c) Alternative Schedule. A participant may submit an alternate distribution schedule to the Committee for approval; provided, however, that no
such alternate schedule shall be permitted unless approved by the Committee. 
  
 (d) Limitation on Form of Distribution. Distributions under this Plan shall be made solely in the form of whole shares of Common Stock and the Company shall be under no obligation to distribute any amount in
cash. 
  
 (e) Death Benefits; Beneficiary Designation. If a
Participant dies before the end of a deferral period or prior to termination of employment, or after distribution of the Participant’s account has commenced but prior to the distribution of all amounts to which the Participant is entitled under
the Plan, the Participant’s account shall be distributable or shall continue to be 

  

 4 

 
distributed in accordance with the Participant’s election under this Section 4.5 to the person or persons designated pursuant to this subsection (e). A
Participant may from time to time designate in writing on a form prescribed by the Committee for such purpose a person or persons (named contingently or successively) to receive benefits distributable under this Plan upon or after the
Participant’s death. Such designation may be changed from time to time by the Participant by filing a new designation. Each designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant. In the absence of a valid beneficiary designation,
the Participant’s benefits shall be distributable to his or her surviving spouse, or, if the Participant is not survived by a spouse, to his or her estate. 
  

4.6 Financial Hardship. The Committee shall have the authority to alter the timing or form of distribution of deferred amounts in the event that
the Participant establishes, to the satisfaction of the Committee, severe financial hardship. In such event, the Committee may, in its sole discretion: 
  
 (a) Authorize the cessation of deferrals by such Participant under the Plan, or 
  
 (b) Provide that all or a portion of the amount previously deferred by the Participant shall immediately be paid in a lump
sum distribution in the form of shares of Common Stock; or 
  
 (c)
Provide that all or a portion of the installments payable over a period of time shall immediately be paid in a lump sum distribution of shares of Common Stock; or 
  
 (d) Provide for such other installment schedule as deemed appropriate by the Committee under the circumstances. 

 
 For purposes of this Section 4.6, “severe financial hardship”
shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, in accordance with all applicable laws. The Committee’s decision with respect to the severity of financial hardship and the manner in which, if at all, the Participant’s future
deferral opportunities shall be ceased, and/or the manner in which if at all, the distribution of deferred amounts of the Participant shall be altered or modified shall be final, conclusive, and not subject to appeal. 
  
 4.7. Special Change in Control Election. In addition to the elections
described in Section 4.3 of this Plan, each Participant may make an election applicable solely in the event of a Change in Control of the Bank or the Company with respect to the length of the deferral period for all deferrals under the Plan and the
form of distribution of such deferrals. Such election must be made in writing at least three (3) months prior to the consummation of any transaction constituting a Change in Control. In the absence of an election pursuant to this Section 4.7, a
Participant’s benefits under this Plan shall be payable in accordance with the Participant’s elections under Section 4.3. For purposes of this Plan, a “Change in Control” shall mean an event of a nature that: (i) would be
required to be reported in response to Item 1(a) of the current report on Form 8-K, as in effect on the date hereof, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”); or (ii) results in a Change
in Control of the Bank or the Holding Company within the meaning of the Change in Bank Control Act and 

  

 5 

 
the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) at 12 C.F.R. § 303.4(a), with respect to the Bank,
and the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) (or its predecessor agency), with respect to the Holding Company, as in effect on the date of this Agreement; or (iii) without limitation such a Change
in Control shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (A) any “person” (as the term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act), directly or indirectly, of voting securities of the Bank or the Holding Company representing 20% or more of the Bank’s or the Holding Company’s outstanding voting securities or right to acquire such securities except for any voting
securities of the Bank purchased by the Holding Company and any voting securities purchased by any employee benefit plan of the Holding Company or its Subsidiaries, or (B) individuals who constitute the Board on the date hereof (the “Incumbent
Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters of the directors comprising the
Incumbent Board, or whose nomination for election by the Holding Company’s stockholders was approved by a Nominating Committee solely composed of members which are Incumbent Board members, shall be, for purposes of this clause (B), considered
as though he were a member of the Incumbent Board, or (C) a plan of reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Bank or the Holding Company or similar transaction occurs or is effectuated in which the
Bank or Holding Company is not the resulting entity, or (D) a proxy statement has been distributed soliciting proxies from stockholders of the Holding Company, by someone other than the current management of the Holding Company, seeking stockholder
approval of a plan of reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Holding Company or Bank with one or more corporations as a result of which the outstanding shares of the class of securities then subject to such plan or transaction are exchanged
for or converted into cash or property or securities not issued by the Bank or the Holding Company shall be distributed, or (E) a tender offer is made for 20% or more of the voting securities of the Bank or Holding Company then outstanding.

  
 Article 5 
 Deferred Compensation Accounts 
  
 5.1 Participant Accounts. The Company shall establish and maintain an individual bookkeeping account for deferrals made by each Participant under
Article 4 herein. Each account shall be credited as of the date the amount deferred otherwise would have become due and payable to the Participant, or as otherwise determined in the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Agreement. 
  
 5.2 Valuation of Deferred Amounts. Amounts credited to a
Participant’s deferred compensation account shall be credited solely in the form of “Common Stock Units” with each unit equivalent to one (1) share of Common Stock. 
  

 6 

 The following additional rules shall apply to Common Stock Units: 
  
 (a) The number of Common Stock Units credited to a Participant’s
Account with respect to contributions made to his or her Account shall equal the dollar amount of such contributions divided by the average of the high and low trading prices of the Common Stock for the seven (7) trading days prior to the date the
contributions were made. 
  
 (b) The Participant’s Account
shall also be credited with additional Common Stock Units equal to the dollar amount of dividends or other distributions paid from time to time during the deferral period on a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Common Stock
Units then credited to the Participant’s Account divided by the average of the high and low trading prices of the Common Stock on the payment date. 
  
 (c) In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of the Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares, Change in Control or other similar corporate change, then an equitable equivalent adjustment shall be made in the Common Stock Units credited to Accounts under the Plan.

  
 (d) When distribution of a Participant’s Account occurs,
such distribution shall be made solely by transferring to the Participant or beneficiary a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the number of whole units then distributable from the Participant’s Account. On any distribution date,
fractional Common Stock Units shall be rounded up to the nearest whole unit. 
  
 5.3 Charges Against Accounts. There shall be charged against each Participant’s deferred compensation account any distributions made to the Participant or to his or her beneficiary. 
  
 Article 6 
 Rights of Participants 
  
 6.1 Contractual Obligation. The Plan shall create a contractual obligation on the part of the Company to make distributions from the Participant’s accounts when due. 
  
 6.2 Unsecured Interest. No Participant or party claiming an interest
in amounts deferred by a Participant shall have any interest whatsoever in any specific asset of the Company or the Bank. To the extent that any party acquires a right to receive distributions under the Plan, such right shall be equivalent to that
of an unsecured general creditor of the Company or the Bank. 
  
 6.3 Authorization for Trust. The Company may, but shall not be required to, establish one or more trusts, with such trustee as the Committee may approve, for the purpose of providing for the distribution of deferred amounts. Such
trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Bank or Company. To the extent any amounts deferred under the Plan are actually paid from any such trust, the Company shall have

  

 7 

 
no further obligation with respect thereto, but to the extent not so paid, such deferred amounts shall remain the obligation of, and shall be paid by, the
Company or the Bank. 
  
 6.4 Employment. Nothing in the
Plan shall interfere with nor limit, in any way, the right of the Bank or any affiliate of the Bank to terminate any Participant’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Bank or any
affiliate of the Bank. 
  
 Article 7 
 Withholding of Taxes 
  
 The Company shall have the right to require Participants to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any withholding tax requirements or to
deduct from all distributions made pursuant to the Plan amounts sufficient to satisfy withholding tax requirements. 
  
 Article 8 
 Amendment and Termination 
  
 The Company hereby reserves the right to amend, modify, or terminate the Plan
at any time by action of the Board, provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall in any material manner adversely affect any Participant’s rights to amounts previously deferred hereunder without the consent of the Participant.

  
 Article 9 
 Claims Procedure 
  
 (a) Claim. A person who believes that he is being denied a benefit to which he is entitled under this Plan (hereinafter referred to as a
“Claimant”) may file a written request for such benefit with the Company, setting forth his claim. The request must be addressed to the Secretary of the Board at the Company’s then principal place of business. 
  
 (b) Claim Decision. Upon receipt of a claim, the Committee shall
advise the Claimant that a reply will be forthcoming within ninety (90) days and shall, in fact, deliver such reply within such period. The Committee may, however, extend the reply period for an additional ninety (90) days for reasonable cause. If
the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Committee shall adopt a written opinion, using language calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth: 
  
 (i) The specific reason or reasons for such denial; 
  
 (ii) The specific reference to pertinent provisions of this Plan on which such denial is based; 
  

 8 

 (iii) A description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his
claim and an explanation why such material or such information is necessary; 
  
 (iv) Appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to submit the claim for review; and 
  
 (v) The time limits for requesting a review of the decision and for review of the decision. 
  
 (c) Request for Review. With sixty (60) days after the receipt by the Claimant of the written opinion
described above, the Claimant may request in writing that the Board review the determination of the Committee. Such request must be addressed to the Secretary of the Board, at its then principal place of business. The Claimant or his duly authorized
representative may, but need not, review the pertinent documents and submit issues and comments in writing for consideration by the Committee. If the Claimant does not request a review of the Committee’s determination by the Board within such
sixty (60) day period, he shall be barred and stopped from challenging the Committee’s determination. 
  
 (d) Review of Decision. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for review, the Board will review the Committee’s determination.
After considering all materials presented by the Claimant, the Board will provide the Claimant with a written opinion, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth the specific reasons for the decision and
containing specific references to the pertinent provisions of this Plan on which the decision is based. If special circumstances require that the sixty (60) day time period be extended, the Secretary of the Board will so notify the Claimant and will
render the decision as soon as possible, but no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request for review. 
  
 Article 10 
 Miscellaneous

  
 10.1 Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein,
any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Company under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail to the Secretary of the Company. Notice to the Secretary, if mailed,
shall be addressed to the principal executive offices of the Company. Notice mailed to a Participant shall be at such address as is given in the records of the Company. Notices shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made
by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification. 
  
 10.2 Nontransferability. Participant’s rights to deferred amounts credited hereunder the Plan may not be sold, transferred, assigned, or
otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In no event shall the Company make any distribution under the Plan to any assignee or creditor of a Participant. 
  

 9 

 10.3 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any
reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 
  
 10.4. Costs of the Plan. All costs of implementing and administering
the Plan shall be borne by the Company or an affiliate of the Company. 
  
 10.5 Status under ERISA. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan which is maintained primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of “management or highly compensated employees” within the
meaning of Sections 201, 301, and 401 of ERISA, and to therefore be exempt from the provisions of Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title 1 of ERISA. 
  
 10.6 Applicable Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri. 
  
 10.7 Successors. All obligations of the Company or the Bank under the
Plan shall be binding on any successor to the Bank or the Bank, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of
the Bank or the Company.
