“‘Defaulting Lender’ means, subject to Section 2.17(b), any Lender that (a) has failed
to (i) fund all or any portion of its Loans within two Business Days of the date such Loans were required to be funded hereunder unless such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing that such failure is the result of
such Lender’s determination that one or more conditions precedent to funding (each of which conditions precedent, together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such writing) has not been satisfied, or (ii) pay

direct or indirect 

  
 3 

 
parent company thereof by a Governmental Authority so long as such ownership interest does not result in or provide such Lender with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United
States or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Lender (or such Governmental Authority) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made with such Lender. Any determination
by the Administrative Agent that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender under any one or more of clauses (a) through (d) above, and of the effective date of such status, shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and
such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender (subject to Section 2.17(b)) as of the date established therefor by the Administrative Agent in a written notice of such determination, which shall be delivered by the Administrative
Agent to the Borrower, each L/C Issuer and each other Lender promptly following such determination.” 
 1.5
Amendment to Section 2.02(a). Section 2.02(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

“(a) Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be
confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice. Each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date
of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Committed Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans. Each Borrowing
of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate
Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans
from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans
to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the
Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate
Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the 

  
 4 

 
applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an
Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.” 
 1.6 Amendment to
Section 2.02(b). Section 2.02(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

“(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any
automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the
initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower
on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower;
provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the
payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.” 

1.7 Amendment to Section 2.05(a). Section 2.05(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “(a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (subject to Section 3.05); provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative
Agent, (i) such notice must be in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and
(B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base
Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such

  
 5 

 
notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such
prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.17, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.” 

1.8 Amendment to Section 2.15. Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement is amended such that the
amount of “$50,000,000.00” is replaced by the amount of “$0.00.” 
 1.9 Amendment to
Section 2.17(a)(iv). Section 2.17(a)(iv) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

“(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting
Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the
extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to
have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s
Commitment. Subject to Section 10.21, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including
any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.” 

1.10 Amendment to Section 10.02(e). Section 10.02(e) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended
and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “(e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C
Issuers and Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices, Committed Loan Notices and Letter of Credit Applications) purportedly given by or on
behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice 

  
 6 

 
specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers,
each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other
telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.” 

1.11 Addition of Section 10.21. The following is hereby added to the Credit Agreement as a new
Section 10.21: 
 “Section 10.21 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial
Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial
Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

 (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such
liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in
such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect
to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii) the variation of the
terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.”

hereby (including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications, Committed Loan Notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and
contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use
of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records
Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic
signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.”

LITIGATION 
 The following
matters are disclosed for information purposes, and Borrower believes that they could not, either individually or in the aggregate, if determined adversely, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Marlow, et al v. BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. 

On March 1, 2013, two BJ’s team members (one current and one former) filed a putative collective action lawsuit against BJ’s in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. The complaint alleges that BJ’s has violated the federal Fair Labor Standards Act by (a) forcing servers to participate in a tip pool that provided tips
to non-tip eligible team members who do not provide table service (including “expeditors,” a position that BJ’s does not have), (b) not correctly informing the wait staff of its intention to use a tip pool, (c) not paying
the wait staff the required overtime premium for work performed over 40 hours/week, and (d) taking a tip credit when team members should have been paid the full minimum wage. The two plaintiffs seek to represent a class of similarly
situated team members in all of the states in which BJ’s operates and utilizes a tip credit. Four additional people have filed opt-in forms joining the action. 

The case was served on BJ’s on March 27, 2013. BJ’s filed a motion to compel individual arbitration and dismiss class claims on
or about April 24, 2013. The court granted the motion to dismiss and compel arbitration but requested supplemental briefing regarding whether the Court, rather than the arbitrator, should decide as a threshold matter whether the case must
proceed on an individual, rather than a collective basis, in light of the terms of the parties’ arbitration agreement. The parties presented the briefing, which the Court is still considering. The Court held a status conference in late May
2016, and indicated that it will rule on the motion in the coming months. 
 The parties are currently engaging in settlement discussions.
If no settlement is reached, BJ’s intends to vigorously defend itself in this lawsuit, including by arguing that the plaintiffs must proceed with individual actions in arbitration and cannot proceed collectively and that BJ’s did not have
a mandatory tip pooling arrangement. 
 Townley v. BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. 

On April 1, 2014, a former team member filed a representative action against BJ’s in the San Joaquin Superior Court. The complaint
alleges a claim for penalties under the Private Attorneys’ General Act based on alleged violations of the California Labor Code for failing to pay for or reimburse California team members for slip-resistance shoes. The plaintiff seeks to
represent a class of similarly situated team members and alleges they are owed penalties and attorneys’ fees. The complaint was served on May 5, 2014. After a stay pending decisions on several relevant cases, the action is now at issue.
BJ’s filed a motion to dismiss the action which the Court heard on February 24, 2016 and recently denied without prejudice to filing a later motion for summary judgment. The parties are now engaging in discovery. BJ’s intends to
vigorously defend itself 

  
 1 

 
against the claims and file a motion for summary judgment seeking a dismissal as a matter of law after discovery. 

Atkinson v. BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. 

On February 19, 2016, a former manager filed a putative class action against BJ’s in the Placer County Superior Court. The complaint
was served on April 6, 2016. The complaint alleges claims for unpaid wages and penalties in violation of the California Labor Code and Business & Professions Code for failure to pay overtime, provide accurate wage statements, provide
accurate and timely final pay and unfair competition based on the premise that BJ’s misclassified California Kitchen Managers as exempt. The plaintiff thereafter filed and served a First Amended Complaint adding a Private Attorneys’
General Act claim for penalties. 
 BJ’s requested and the plaintiff agreed to stipulate to dismiss his class claims and move his
individual claims to arbitration in accordance with his signed arbitration agreement. As a result of his arbitration agreement with class action waiver, the plaintiff cannot pursue class-wide Labor Code claims in Court. If he loses at arbitration,
he will not be able to pursue a PAGA on behalf of similarly situated team members. BJ’s intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims. 

Ryther v. BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. 

On June 17, 2016, two former managers filed a putative class and collective action against BJ’s in the U.S. District Court for the
Central District of California. The complaint was served on June 23, 2016. The complaint alleges claims for unpaid wages and penalties in violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and California Labor Code for failure to pay overtime
and under the California Labor Code and California Business & Professions Code for failure to provide accurate wage statements, meal and rest periods and accurate and timely final pay and unfair competition in California based on the
premise that BJ’s misclassified Kitchen Managers and Dining Managers as exempt. Both managers signed BJ’s arbitration agreement with class action waiver. BJ’s filed a motion to compel individual arbitration and dismiss class claims,
because the plaintiffs were unwilling to stipulate to individual arbitration. 
 There is overlap between the Ryther action and the
recently-settled Blanchard action involving California Dining Managers. Likewise, there is potential overlap between the recently-filed Atkinson action and the Ryther action if Ryther files an amended complaint adding a PAGA claim. Ryther’s
counsel recently reached out to BJ’s about whether BJ’s is interested in exploring early settlement, and BJ’s is in the process of determining whether Ryther is interested in exploring settlement on an individual basis.

TERM 
 3.1 Term.
The term (the “Term”) of this Lease shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue through the day before the fifteenth (15th) anniversary of the date that is three (3) days after the date of Substantial
Completion (as such term is defined in the Work Letter) (the “Expansion Premises Commencement Date”). 
 3.2 Lease
Year. As used throughout this Lease, the first “Lease Year” shall commence on the Effective Date and end on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, notwithstanding that such period of time may be more or less than twelve
(12) consecutive full calendar months. Thereafter, a Lease Year shall consist of twelve (12) consecutive full calendar months commencing on the day following the close of the prior Lease Year. 

ARTICLE 4 
 RENT AND ADDITIONAL
PAYMENTS 
 4.1 Fixed Rent. From and after the Effective Date, Tenant shall pay rent to Landlord for the Original Premises
(“Original Premises Rent”) and for the Expansion Premises (“Expansion Premises Rent” and collectively with the Original Premises Rent, the “Fixed Rent”), without any demand therefore and without any
deduction or setoff whatsoever, in the manner, at the times and in accordance with the following provisions of this Article 4. 

  
 4 

 4.2 Original Premises Rent. 

(a) Beginning on the Effective Date and continuing until the end of the third (3rd) Lease Year, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord Original Premises Rent in the amount of Seventy Six Thousand Four Hundred Sixty Five Dollars ($76,465.00) per month. 

(b) At the beginning of the fourth (4th) Lease Year, and on each third (3rd) anniversary thereafter during the Term
(each, a “Rent Reset Date”), the Original Premises Rent, and during any Extension Term the Expansion Premises Rent if Tenant exercises its option to renew under Article 6 of this Lease, shall be adjusted for the ensuing three
(3) Lease Years by the percentage increase of the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Revised Consumer Price Index, all urban consumers, U.S. city average, all items (1982–1984 equals 100) (the
“CPI”), if any, as of the applicable Rent Reset Date over the CPI as of the next most recent preceding Rent Reset Date. For purposes of the foregoing formula, the Effective Date shall be considered the initial Rent Reset Date. 

(c) In the event the CPI is not published at a time when its publication is called for hereto, then the CPI shall be deemed to
be the most nearly equivalent index then being published by the Federal Government or other authoritative compiler of such statistics, and in general use in northeastern Ohio. 

4.3 Expansion Premises Rent. 

(a) Not later than 14 days after the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, Landlord will certify to Tenant in writing the total
amount of the costs, charges, and expenses specified in Section 5.1 of the Work Letter which are attributable to Landlords construction of the Improvements (the “Total Improvements Cost”), but in no event will the Total
Improvements Cost exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) plus the net increase, if any, caused by change orders to the Construction Contract requested or approved by Tenant. 

(b) Tenant will, from and after the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, pay Expansion Premises Rent on a monthly basis. The
amount of each monthly payment of Expansion Premises Rent (herein so called) shall be the amount that would amortize ninety percent (90%) of the amount determined pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof, in equal monthly installments, with an
imputed annual interest rate of five percent (5%) commencing on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, over a period of fifteen (15) years. 

(c) Following determination of the Expansion Premises Rent, but prior to the Rent Payment Date (defined below) immediately
thereafter, Landlord and Tenant will, at either parties’ request, execute an amendment to this Lease, substantially in the form as is attached hereto as Exhibit “F” which specifies the monthly amount of Expansion
Premises Rent to be paid by Tenant throughout the remainder of the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to execute such amendment will not in any way affect Tenant’s obligation to pay Fixed Rent or to otherwise comply with the terms
contained in this Lease. 
 4.4 Payment Date. Fixed Rent shall be paid on or before the tenth (10) day of each calendar
month (each, a “Rent Payment Date”) during the Term in advance. Fixed Rent, and any additional rent due hereunder, for any partial month during the Term shall be prorated. 

  
 5 

 4.5 Late Payment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest at the rate of twelve
percent (12%) per annum (or such lesser rate of interest as may be the maximum permitted by Applicable Law) on all installments of Fixed Rent that are over ten (10) days past due. 

4.6 Additional Payments. Tenant shall pay to Landlord additional payments (the “Additional Payments”) payable
upon demand from Landlord and consisting of all other sums, liabilities and obligations which Tenant has agreed or is required to pay or discharge pursuant to this Lease including, but not by way of limitation, interest at the rate of twelve percent
(12%) per annum (or such lesser rate of interest as may be the maximum permitted by applicable law) on all Additional Payments that are over ten (10) days past due. 

4.7 Place of Payment. All Fixed Rent and Additional Payments due Landlord hereunder shall be paid in lawful money of the United
States of America at Landlord’s address as set forth herein or at such other place or to such other person as Landlord from time to time may designate in writing. 

ARTICLE 5 
 SECURITY DEPOSIT 

5.1 Security Deposit. The sum of Seventy One Thousand Twenty Nine Dollars ($71,029.00), previously delivered to Landlord from
Tenant pursuant to Article 5 of the Original Lease shall continue to serve as a security deposit hereunder (the “Security Deposit”) to insure the faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations stated herein. 

5.2 Application / Use of Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account held for the
benefit of Tenant to the extent not forfeited by Tenant under the terms of this Lease. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (defined herein at Article 21), Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), from time to time, use, apply or retain
all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Fixed Rent, Additional Payments, or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of any Event of Default, or
any damage, injury, expense, or liability caused to Landlord by reason of any Event of Default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used, applied, or retained, Tenant shall, within five (5) business days after written demand therefor,
deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. 
 5.3 Non-Waiver of
Remedies. The use, application or retention of the Security Deposit or any portion thereof by Landlord, shall be without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Landlord and shall not prevent the exercising of any other right or
remedy provided for hereunder or at law and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. In addition, no action of Landlord in enforcing any of its rights or remedies upon an Event of Default, will
be deemed to be a termination of this Lease so as to entitle Tenant to recover said Security Deposit. 
 5.4 Return of Security
Deposit. In the event that Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of the provisions of this Lease, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the date upon which
Tenant has vacated the Premises. Tenant shall have no legal power to assign or encumber the Security Deposit, and the return of the Security Deposit to Tenant shall completely relieve Landlord of liability with regard thereto. 

5.5 Assignment upon Transfer of Premises. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, Landlord shall assign the Security
Deposit to the transferee and, following such assignment and the delivery to Tenant of an acknowledgement of the transferee’s responsibility for the Security Deposit, Landlord shall have no further liability for the return of the Security
Deposit. 

  
 6 

 ARTICLE 6 

OPTION TO RENEW 
 6.1 So long as
Tenant is not in default of this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to extend the Term of this Lease for two (2) periods of five (5) years each (an
“Extension Term” and collectively the “Extension Terms”), commencing immediately following the expiration of the then current Term. Tenant may exercise its right to extend the term of this Lease for the Extension Terms by
delivering written notice (each, an “Extension Notice”) thereof to Landlord no less than six (6) months and no more than twelve (12) months before the expiration of the then current Term of this Lease. Tenant’s lease of the
Premises during the Extension Terms shall be on all of the same terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the Fixed Rent and Expansion Premises Rent shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof. 

6.2 In the event that Tenant does not exercise its right to renew the Term of this Lease as provided in this Article, then Landlord shall have
the right during the remainder of the Initial Term or any respective Extension Term, whichever the case may be, to advertise the availability of the Premises for reletting, to erect upon the Premises signs indicating such availability, and to enter
upon and show the Premises to prospective tenants at reasonable times and after twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to Tenant of such showing. 

ARTICLE 7 
 TAXES AND INSURANCE
PREMIUMS 
 7.1 Additional Tenant Charges. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord, as an Additional Payment, without
offset or deduction, the sums computed in accordance with this Article 7 (collectively referred to as the “Taxes and Insurance Charges”). 

7.2 Article 7 Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to this Article 7: 

(a) The term “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” shall have the definition set forth in Section 1.4
herein. 
 (b) The term “Taxes” shall mean all taxes, assessments, penalties, charges, rates, or liens of
any nature whatsoever, whether ad valorem or otherwise, that may, for the period following the Effective Date, be levied, assessed, charged, imposed, or claimed on or against the Entire Property or any part thereof. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, Taxes shall not include any income, franchise, capital levy, transfer, capital stock, gift, estate or inheritance tax. 

(c) The term “Insurance” shall include the insurance premium on policies that Landlord is obligated to carry
on the Entire Premises under this Lease other than the builder’s risk insurance required to be maintained by Landlord pursuant to the last sentence of Section 13.3 hereof. 

7.3 Payment by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as an Additional Payment, on each Rent Payment Date, such amount as
Landlord shall estimate or determine to be equal to one-twelfth 

  
 7 

 
(1/12) of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Taxes and Insurance Charges for the then current calendar and/or fiscal year as the case may be. Upon final determination of the Taxes and
Insurance Charges for such year, Landlord shall compute Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof, and a summary and copy of the applicable bill(s) shall be furnished to Tenant reflecting the actual amount of the Taxes and Insurance Charges for such
year. The notice so furnished to Tenant shall also include a computation of the estimated sums to become due from Tenant each month for the ensuing year under this Paragraph and the monthly payments to be made under this Article 7 shall be adjusted
accordingly for such ensuing year. 
 (a) In the event the estimated Additional Payments of Taxes and Insurance Charges (the
“Estimated Aggregate Payments”) paid by Tenant during the preceding period shall be in excess of Tenant’s Proportionate Share, the excess shall be credited against the next ensuing payments due from Tenant under this Article 7.

 (b) In the event the Estimated Aggregate Payments paid by Tenant during the preceding period shall be less than
Tenant’s Proportionate Share, then Tenant shall pay the remaining balance to Landlord within thirty (30) days after such notice is furnished. 

7.4 Pro-Rata Payment. A pro-rata installment of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such Taxes and Insurance Charges shall be
due for the last year of the Term if the Term for any reason terminates on a day other than the 31st day of December or the end of an applicable fiscal year. The obligation of Tenant with respect to this Article 7 shall survive the expiration of the
Term it being recognized by the parties hereto that the recovery of Tenant’s Proportionate Share hereunder is a recovery for the year in which payable hereunder. 

7.5 Right to Contest. In the event the Entire Property is appraised, reappraised, assessed, reassessed or otherwise valued,
revalued, classified or reclassified for tax purposes, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such circumstance and Tenant shall be entitled to participate with Landlord, at Tenant’s option and expense, in, or to initiate, any contest,
appeal or other legal or administrative process or procedure available to challenge or question the propriety of such action. If a reduction in Taxes is obtained for any year of the Term during which Tenant paid Tenant’s Proportionate Share of
any Taxes, then Taxes for that year will be retroactively adjusted and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit, if any, based on the adjustment or, if this Lease has expired or otherwise terminated, pay such credit to Tenant within thirty
(30) days after its receipt of the tax refund. The obligations set forth in this Section 7.5 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. 

7.6 Continuing Obligation. Any delay or failure of Landlord in computing or billing shall not prejudice the right of Landlord to
thereafter render bills (or correct bills previously submitted) for such period of any subsequent period, nor constitute a waiver of, nor in any way impair the continuing obligation of Tenant to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such Taxes
and Insurance Charges. Photo static copies of bills for Taxes and Insurance submitted by Landlord to Tenant shall be conclusive of the actual amount thereof. Landlord shall promptly supply a copy of the receipted bill to Tenant.

 8.5 Landlord’s Statement. Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year during the Term a written statement (the “Statement”) setting out in reasonable detail Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Common

Costs during any calendar year (the “Actual Payments”) differs from the amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Common Area Maintenance Costs payable according to the Statement (the “Obligated Payments”),
Tenant shall: 
 (a) If the Obligated Payments shall exceed the Actual Payments, pay to Landlord, within thirty
(30) days after the date of delivery of the Statement, an amount equal to such excess; or 

  
 10 

 (b) If the Actual Payments shall exceed the Obligated Payments, be granted a
credit against the next installment of Tenant’s Proportionate share of the Common Area Maintenance Charges in an amount equal to such overpayment. 

8.6 Inspection; Audit Rights. Tenant shall have the right to examine Landlord’s books and records with respect to the items
in each Statement during normal business hours at any time within sixty (60) days following Tenant’s receipt of such Statement. In conducting such examination, Tenant must utilize either its own full time salaried employees or an
independent certified public accountant (“CPA”), which CPA shall be paid by Tenant on an hourly fee for services rendered basis, and not on a contingency fee basis, and which CPA shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable prior
approval. Unless Tenant takes written exception to any item on the subject Statement within sixty (60) days following Tenant’s receipt of such Statement, such Statement shall be considered as final and accepted by Tenant. If Tenant timely
provides such written exception to Landlord, but Landlord and Tenant disagree on the accuracy of Tenant’s Proportionate share of the Common Area Maintenance Charges as set forth in the Statement, Tenant shall nevertheless make payment in
accordance with the Statement, but the disagreement shall immediately be referred by Landlord for prompt decision to a mutually acceptable public accountant or other professional consultant who shall be deemed to be acting as an expert and not as an
arbitrator, and a determination signed by the selected expert shall be final and binding on both Landlord and Tenant. Any adjustment required to be made by reason of any such decision shall be made within fifteen (15) days thereof and payment
shall be made or credit allowed in the manner set forth in Section 8.5 hereof. If the adjustment is greater than ten percent (10%) and the amount of the adjustment is to be paid to Tenant, Landlord will pay the cost of the expert;
otherwise Tenant will pay the cost of the expert.

property therefrom and store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant, and do such further acts as may be necessary and advisable to recover immediate possession of the Premises, without being

reserved hereunder, and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against and shall reimburse Landlord for, all loss of rent and other damages and expenses which Landlord may incur by reason of
Tenant’s default, including but not limited to brokerage commissions, advertising expenses, and reasonable legal expenses. 

(b) Landlord may also re-enter as herein provided, or take possession pursuant to law, and may, from time to time, without
terminating this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the Premises, and Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this
Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms, covenants and conditions as Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion may deem advisable without in any manner releasing Tenant from the obligations of this Lease or entitling Tenant
to any setoff whatsoever against any monies due Landlord from Tenant for any reason. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any such
reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time elect to terminate this Lease for such previous uncured Event of Default. 

(d) Any steps taken by Landlord pursuant to the foregoing shall be without prejudice to, and shall not be exclusive of, any
other remedies or damage, which may be available to Landlord. 
 21.3 Tenant Waiver. Tenant hereby waives and surrenders for
itself and all those claiming under it, including creditors of all kinds, (i) any right and privilege which it or any of them may have under any present or future constitution, statute or rule of law to redeem the Premises or to have a

in default (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, and an action shall be brought for the enforcement thereof in which it shall be determined that Tenant was in default, Tenant

 21.5 Landlord
Default. It is mutually agreed that if Landlord shall be in default in performing any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of a written notice of

(i) such default remains unremedied for an additional cure period of thirty (30) days, or (ii) in the case of a default that cannot be remedied within such additional thirty (30) day period, if Landlord has failed to actively
pursue a remedy during such period, Tenant may cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date set forth in such second notice, and all right, title, and interest of Tenant hereunder shall terminate in the same manner and with the same force and
effect, except as to Tenant’s and Landlord’s, as the case may be, liability hereunder for any breaches hereunder or for the performance of any indemnities or other continuing responsibilities, as of the date fixed in the notice of
cancellation and termination was the end of the Term herein originally determined. 

  
 19 

 21.6 Non-Waiver upon Payment. Tenant’s payment of Fixed Rent with knowledge of
default by the Landlord shall not be construed as a waiver of any such default by Landlord and shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies available to Tenant. Failure by Tenant to enforce any other provisions hereunder for any
length of time shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s rights set forth in this Lease, but such waiver may only be made by instrument in writing and signed by the Tenant. 

21.7 Additional Rights of Tenant. 

(a) Tenant shall have such other rights and remedies as are available under the law or in equity to cure and/or remedy
Landlord’s default or otherwise compensate Tenant therefor, including, without limitation, (i) the right to cure such default on Landlord’s behalf and at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, and to offset Fixed Rent to the extent
Landlord does not reimburse Tenant for such costs within thirty (30) days of written demand for reimbursement, which offset shall not exceed in any one month fifty percent (50%) of the monthly installment of Fixed Rent, and (ii) all
other rights and remedies set forth in this Lease. 
 (b) Subject to the terms of the Work Letter during construction of the
Improvements, without limiting any of Tenant’s rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity and notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if the Premises or any part thereof shall become untenantable for at least

until such time as the same becomes tenantable again.

administrative proceedings and third party expenses (including, but not limited to, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually suffered or incurred by Landlord as the result of any negligent, willful or intentional acts or omissions
of any or all of Tenant, Tenant’s agents and any parties within the control of either or both of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, including, without limitation, any breach by Tenant of any of its warranties and representations under this Lease.

reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

(actual, but not consequential or speculative), judgments, causes of action, administrative proceedings and third party expenses (including, but not limited to, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually suffered or incurred by
Tenant as the result of any negligent, willful or intentional acts or omissions of any or all of Landlord, Landlord’s agents and any parties within the control of either or both of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, including, without

Landlord, upon notice from Tenant, shall resist and defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, however, in all events and under all circumstances, the
liability of Landlord to Tenant shall be limited to the interest of Landlord in the Entire Property, and Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Entire Property for the recovery of any judgment or award against Landlord, it
being intended that Landlord shall not be personally liable for any judgment or deficiency. The provisions of this Section 24.2 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. 

ARTICLE 25 
 INTERRUPTION OF

 25.1 Interruption of Utilities. Landlord does not covenant that Utilities and other services to the Premises will
be free from interruptions caused by repairs, improvements, changes of service, alterations, strikes, lockouts, labor controversies, accidents, inability to obtain fuel, water or supplies or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.
No such interruption of Utilities or other Building services shall be deemed a constructive eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or any part thereof, or otherwise render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages,
by abatement of Fixed Rent or otherwise, or otherwise relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives and releases all claims against Landlord for damages for interruption or stoppage of Utilities
or other Building services. In the event of any such interruption or stoppage of Utilities or other services to the Premises, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have such services promptly resumed. 

  
 21 

 25.2 Limited Liability of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that any such interruption in Utilities or other services to be provided by Landlord hereunder is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, and if such interruption causes the Premises to be untenantable, and as a result
thereof and Tenant cannot use the Premises for a period in excess of five (5) consecutive days, then commencing on the sixth (6th) consecutive day of such untenantability and non-use, Fixed Rent and Additional Payments payable by Tenant
shall be abated until the earliest to occur of (i) the date such interruption is remedied, (ii) the date the Premises are again tenantable, or (iii) the date Tenant resumes use of the Premises. 

ARTICLE 26 
 MISCELLANEOUS 

26.1 Attornment. Tenant shall, in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of (whether by judicial sale or
otherwise), or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under, any mortgage made by Landlord covering the Premises, attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize any such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease;
provided, however, that Tenant’s obligation hereunder to attorn to such purchaser will be conditioned upon Tenant’s receipt of a non-disturbance agreement from such purchaser assuring Tenant of Tenants continued rights under this Lease, so
long as there exists no default by Tenant beyond applicable notice and cure periods, and such non-disturbance agreement is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Tenant. 

26.2 Estoppel Certificates. Within ten (10) business days of either party’s request, Landlord or Tenant, as
applicable, will execute either an estoppel certificate or a three-party agreement among Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, and any third party dealing with Landlord or Tenant certifying to such facts (if true) and agreeing to such notice provisions
and other matters as such third party may reasonably require in connection with the business dealings of Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, and such third party. Either party’s failure to provide such an estoppel certificate within the ten
(10) business day period specified above, and the continuation of such failure for a period of five (5) business days after the requesting party delivers a second (2nd) written notice requesting same, shall constitute an Event of
Default under this Lease. 
 26.3 No Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount
than the Fixed Rent or Additional Payments herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest rent due, and no endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying a check for payment of rent shall be deemed an
accord and satisfaction, and Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rent or to pursue any other remedy available to Landlord shall remain. 

26.4 No Partnership. Landlord is not in any way, at any time or for any purpose a partner of Tenant in the conduct of
Tenant’s business, or otherwise, or a joint venturer or member of a joint enterprise with Tenant in regards to Tenant’s business. 

26.5 Tenant Holdover. If Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Term of this Lease, no
action by Landlord, by accepting Fixed Rent, Additional Payments, or otherwise, shall be construed as recognition by Landlord of a continuing tenancy, or as creating any additional renewal term of the same duration as the term of this Lease, or a
tenancy from year to year or month to month. Any such continuing occupancy by Tenant shall be deemed to be a tenancy from day to day only, governed in all things, except as to the Term, by the provisions of this Lease with the exception of Fixed
Rent. The Fixed Rent amount during any holdover period shall be an amount equal to the Fixed Rent paid during the period of time immediately preceding the holdover, multiplied by One Hundred and Fifty percent (150%). 

  
 22 

 26.6 Landlord Waiver. LANDLORD HEREBY WAIVES AND DISCLAIMS ALL STATUTORY AND

performance of such obligations, provided the successor-in-interest expressly assumes in writing all obligations of Landlord under this Lease accruing from and after the date of such transfer.

may peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term. Landlord agrees to warrant and defend Tenant’s right to such occupancy, use, and enjoyment and the title to the Premises against the claims of any and all persons whomsoever
lawfully claim the same, or any part thereof, for the Term. Further, Landlord covenants that as long as there exists no default by Tenant beyond applicable notice and cure periods, and except as expressly permitted herein, Landlord will not
interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Premises and the operation of Tenant’s businesses in, on or about the Premises during the Term, except to the extent contemplated and permitted under the terms of the Work Letter.

the Premises on or prior to such expiration or earlier termination all property situated thereon which is not owned by Landlord, and, at its expense, shall, on or prior to such expiration or earlier termination, repair any damage caused by or
resulting from such removal. Property not so removed shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may thereafter cause such property to be removed from the Premises and disposed of, but the cost of any such removal and resulting damage shall
