 Exhibit 10.1 

611 GATEWAY BOULEVARD 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE 

This FIRST AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of August 9, 2018 by and between BXP
611 GATEWAY CENTER LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”), and CATALYST BIOSCIENCES INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”). 

R E C I T A L S 

A.    Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Office Lease dated November 8, 2017 (the “Original
Lease”), whereby Landlord leased to Tenant and Tenant leased from Landlord a total of 8,606 rentable square feet of space located on the seventh (7th) floor and commonly
known as Suite 710 (the “Existing Premises”) and located in that certain office building known as 611 Gateway Boulevard, located in South San Francisco, California (the “Building”). 

B.    Tenant desires to expand the Existing Premises to include that certain space consisting of approximately 4,626
rentable square feet of space located on the seventh (7th) floor (the “Expansion Premises”), as shown on Exhibit A, attached, and to make other modifications to the
Original Lease, and in connection therewith Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Original Lease on the terms and conditions contained herein. 

A G R E E M E N T 
 NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 1.    Defined Terms. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as
is given such terms in the Original Lease. From and after the date hereof, all references in the Original Lease and herein to the “Lease” shall mean and refer to the Original Lease, as amended hereby. 

2.    Modification of Premises. Effective as of the date (the “Expansion Commencement
Date”) which is the earlier to occur of (i) the date upon which Tenant commences to conduct business in the Expansion Premises (as opposed to preparing the Expansion Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business), and
(ii) the later of (a) November 1, 2018 (as may be extended by Landlord Delay), and (b) Substantial Completion of the Landlord Work, the Existing Premises shall be increased to include the Expansion Premises. Landlord and Tenant
hereby acknowledge that such addition of the Expansion Premises to the Existing Premises shall, effective as of the Expansion Commencement Date, increase the size of the Premises to approximately 13,232 rentable square feet. The Existing
Premises and the Expansion Premises may hereinafter collectively be referred to as the “Premises.”

 3.    Expansion Term. The term of Tenant’s lease of
the Expansion Premises (the “Expansion Term”) shall commence on the Expansion Commencement Date and shall be coterminous with the Original Lease and expire on the Lease Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated as provided in the
Original Lease, as hereby amended. Landlord shall, however, deliver exclusive possession of the Expansion Premises to Tenant (subject to access by Landlord Parties to perform the Landlord Work under the Expansion Work Letter) on or before the date
that is two (2) business days after the mutual execution and delivery of this Amendment by Landlord and Tenant (the “Expansion Delivery Date”). From the Expansion Delivery Date through the date immediately preceding the
Expansion Commencement Date (the “Expansion Early Occupancy Period”), Tenant shall have the right to use and occupy the Expansion Premises for the design, construction and installation of the Tenant Improvements and otherwise to
prepare the Expansion Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business. All of the terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply during the Expansion Early Occupancy Period, except that Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Base Rent or
Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses with respect to the Expansion Premises 
 4.    Base Rent;

 Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Amendment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
the Base Rent payable for the Expansion Premises for the first full month of the Expansion Term. 

5.    Additional Rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, prior to the Expansion
Commencement Date, Tenant shall continue to pay the Excess of Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses for the Existing Premises in accordance with the terms of the Original Lease. Commencing on the Expansion Commencement Date, and continuing
throughout the remainder of the Expansion Term, Tenant shall pay the Excess of Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses in accordance with the terms of Article 4 of the Lease; provided, however, for purposes of calculating the amount
of Tenant’s Share of Capital Expenses and the Excess of Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses, which Tenant shall pay in connection with the Expansion Premises, (i) Tenant’s Share shall equal 1.7766%; and (ii) the Base
Year shall be calendar year 2018. 
 6.    Condition of Expansion Premises. Tenant hereby acknowledges
that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Expansion Premises, the Building or the Project, or with respect to the suitability of any of the foregoing for the conduct of
Tenant’s business, except as specifically set forth in the Lease or in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Expansion Work Letter”). The construction of the Tenant Improvements, as that term is
defined in Exhibit B, to the Expansion Premises shall be governed by the terms of Exhibit B and the terms of Article 8 of the Lease; provided that in the event of a conflict between the provisions of Article 8 as to the
construction of the Tenant Improvements to the Expansion Premises, the provisions of Exhibit B shall control. Except as specifically set forth in the Lease or the Tenant Work Letter, attached hereto as Exhibit B, Landlord shall not be
obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Expansion Premises, and Tenant shall accept the Expansion Premises in its presently existing,
“as-is” condition, subject to Landlord’s obligations under Article 7 of the Lease (including Landlord’s obligations with respect to the maintenance of the Building Systems serving the
Expansion Premises and the Building Structure) of the Lease and the Expansion Work Letter. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises, other than the Tenant Improvements, shall be
completed pursuant to the terms and conditions of Article 8 of the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Expansion Delivery Date, (i) Landlord shall provide Tenant with a master key to the entrance into the Expansion Premises; and
(ii) all window blinds and treatments in the Expansion Premises shall be in good working order and repair. 

7.    Security Deposit. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, the Security Deposit held by
Landlord pursuant to the Lease, as amended hereby, shall be increased from $128,028.59 to $196,848.05. Concurrent with Tenant’s execution of this Amendment, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord $68,819.46, to increase the Security Deposit
held by Landlord to such increased amount. The increased Security Deposit shall be held and applied in accordance with the terms of Article 21 of the Lease. 

8.    Right of First Offer. Landlord hereby grants to the originally named Tenant in the
Original Lease and any Permitted Non-Transferee (collectively, “Original Tenant“) a one-time right of first offer with respect to the space located on
the seventh (7th) floor of the Building 

  
 Page 3 

 
consisting of approximately 6,496 rentable square feet and currently referred to as Suite 740 as shown on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “First Offer
Space“). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such first offer right of Tenant shall commence only following the expiration or earlier termination of the existing leases (including renewals and extensions, whether pursuant to rights currently
existing or hereafter granted) of the First Offer Space, and such right of first offer shall be subordinate to all rights of tenants under leases of the First Offer Space existing as of the date hereof, and all rights of other tenants of the
Project, which rights relate to the First Offer Space and which rights are set forth in leases of space in the Project existing as of the date hereof, each including any renewal, extension, expansion, first offer, first negotiation and other similar
rights, regardless of whether such rights are executed strictly in accordance with their respective terms or pursuant to lease amendments or new leases (all such tenants under existing leases of the First Offer Space and other tenants of the
Project, collectively, the “Superior Right Holders“). Landlord represents and warrants that no Superior Right Holders exist as of the date of this Amendment. 

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is currently negotiating a lease with a tenant with respect to the First Offer Space. If such lease is not
executed, Landlord shall have the right to enter into a lease with a third party, with respect to the First Offer Space. Either of the leases described in the foregoing two sentences shall be referred to herein as an “Interim
Lease”. Tenant’s right of first offer as set forth in this Section 8 shall be subordinate the all rights of the tenant under an Interim Lease and such tenant shall be deemed a Superior Right Holder. 

8.1    Procedure for Offer. Landlord shall notify Tenant (a “First Offer Notice“)
from time to time when the First Offer Space or any portion thereof becomes available for lease to third parties, provided that no Superior Right Holder wishes to lease such space. Pursuant to such First Offer Notice, Landlord shall offer to lease
to Tenant the then available First Offer Space. A First Offer Notice shall describe the space so offered to Tenant and shall set forth Landlord’s proposed “First Offer Rent,” as that term is defined in
Section 8.1.3, below, and the other economic terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease such space to Tenant. The rentable square footage of the space so offered to Tenant shall be determined in accordance with the terms
of Section 1.2 of the Original Lease, as amended by Section 9 of this Amendment.  

8.1.2    Procedure for Acceptance. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s right of first offer
with respect to the space described in a First Offer Notice, then within ten (10) business days of delivery of such First Offer Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intention to exercise its right of first
offer with respect to the entire space described in such First Offer Notice on the terms contained therein (other than Landlord’s proposed First Offer Rent, the parties acknowledging that the actual First Offer Rent shall be determined in
accordance with Section 8.1.3 and Section 10, below). If Tenant does not so notify Landlord within the ten (10) business day period, then Landlord shall be free to lease the space described in
such First Offer Notice to anyone to whom Landlord desires on any terms Landlord desires. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant must elect to exercise its right of first offer, if at all, with respect to all of the space
offered by Landlord to Tenant at any particular time, and Tenant may not elect to lease only a portion thereof. If Tenant does not exercise its right of first offer with respect to any space described in a First Offer Notice or if Tenant fails to
respond to a First Offer Notice within ten (10) business days of delivery thereof, then Tenant’s right of first offer as set forth in this Section 8 shall terminate as to all of

  
 Page 4 

 
the space described in such First Offer Notice. If Tenant elects not to or does not timely exercise Tenant’s right of first offer prior to the expiration of Tenant’s response period
described above, and Landlord does not enter into a lease with respect to such space within one (1) year after the expiration of such Tenant’s response period, Tenant’s right of first offer with respect to the First Offer Space shall
renew, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 8, above. 
 8.1.3    First Offer
Space Rent. The annual “Base Rent,” as that term is defined in Section 3.1 of the Lease, payable by Tenant for the First Offer Space (the “First Offer Rent“) shall be equal to the “Fair Rental
Value,” as that term is defined in Section 10 of this Amendment, for the First Offer Space, pursuant to transactions consummated within the nine (9)-month period preceding the “First Offer Commencement Date,”
as that term is defined in Section 8.5 of this Amendment; provided, however, that (i) First Offer Rent on an annual, per rentable square foot basis shall in no event be less than the Base Rent on an annual, per
rentable square foot basis under the Lease as of the First Offer Commencement Date, including all applicable escalations to the Base Rent made prior to the First Offer Commencement Date (the “Prior Base Rent“); and (ii) the
“Base Year” with respect to the First Offer Space only shall be the calendar year in which the First Offer Commencement Date occurs. 

8.1.4    Construction In First Offer Space. Tenant shall accept the First Offer Space in its then
existing “as is” condition, subject to Landlord’s obligations under Article 7 of the Lease and except as provided in the First Offer Notice. The construction of improvements in the First Offer Space shall comply with the terms of
Article 8 of the Lease. 
 8.1.5    Amendment to Lease. If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s
right to lease First Offer Space as set forth herein, then, within fifteen (15) business days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease for such First Offer Space upon the terms and conditions as set forth in the
First Offer Notice therefor and this Section 8. The term of such First Offer Space shall commence upon the date of delivery of such First Offer Space to Tenant (the “First Offer Commencement Date“) and
terminate on the date set forth in the First Offer Notice therefor; provided, however, that if the First Offer Commencement Date is earlier than April 30, 2021, the term of such First Offer Space shall instead expire on the Lease Expiration
Date. Tenant shall commence payment of Rent for such First Offer Space on the date provided in the First Offer Notice. 

8.1.6    Termination of Right of First Offer. The rights contained in this Section 8 shall be
personal to Original Tenant, and may only be exercised by Original Tenant (and not by any assignee, sublessee or other “Transferee,” as that term is defined in Section 14.1 of the Lease, of Tenant’s interest in the Lease) if
Original Tenant occupies the entire Premises. The right of first offer granted herein shall terminate as to particular First Offer Space upon the failure by Tenant to exercise its right of first offer with respect to such First Offer Space as
offered by Landlord. Tenant shall not have the right to lease First Offer Space, as provided in this Section 8, if, as of the date of the attempted exercise of any right of first offer by Tenant, or as of the scheduled date of delivery of such
First Offer Space to Tenant, Tenant is in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period or if Tenant has previously been in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period more than once in the twelve
(12) month period prior to the date of the First Offer Notice.

 9.    Verification of Rentable Square Feet of Premises and
Building. Section 1.2 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: 
 “Section 1.2
Verification of Rentable Square Feet of Premises and Building. For purposes of the Lease, “rentable square feet” in the Premises and the Building, as the case may be, shall be calculated pursuant to
Landlord’s then current, commercially reasonable method for measuring rentable square footage. Landlord and Tenant hereby stipulate and agree that the rentable area of the Premises is as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord, at its option, re-measures the Premises in connection with a re-measurement of the Building to determine the exact amount of
rentable area contained therein pursuant to Landlord’s then current, commercially reasonable method for measuring rentable square footage, or if the rentable area of the Premises and/or the Building shall hereafter change due to subsequent
alterations and/or other modifications to the Premises and/or the Building, then the rentable area of the Premises and/or the Building, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted as of the date of such
re-measurement or such alteration and/or other modification, based upon the written, commercially reasonable verification by Landlord’s space planner of such revised rentable area. In the event of any
such adjustment to the rentable area of the Premises and/or the Building, all amounts, percentages and figures appearing or referred to in the Lease based upon such rentable area (including, without limitation, the amounts of the “Rent”
and the “Security Deposit,” as those terms are defined in Article 4 and Article 21 of this Lease, respectively, and “Tenant’s Share,” as that term is defined in Section 4.2.10 of the
Lease) shall be modified in accordance with such determination; provided, however, if any such adjustment to the rentable area of the Premises and/or the Building results from a re-measurement thereof
conducted at Landlord’s option, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1.2, “Base Rent,” as defined in Article 3 of the Lease, shall not be modified in accordance with
such determination.” 
 10.    Fair Rental Value. 

10.1    Fair Market Value. The “Fair Rental Value,” as used in this Amendment, shall be
equal to the annual base rent per rentable square foot, including all escalations, at which tenants (pursuant to leases consummated within the twelve (12) month period preceding the first day of the commencement date for the First Offer Space),
are leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-equity space which is not significantly greater or smaller in size than the subject
space, for a comparable lease term, in an arm’s length transaction, which comparable space is located in the “Comparable Buildings,” as that term is defined in this Section 10, below (transactions satisfying the foregoing
criteria shall be known as the “Comparable Transactions”), taking into consideration the following concessions (the “Concessions”): (a) rental abatement concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection
with such comparable space; (b) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for such comparable space, and taking into account the value, if any, of the existing improvements in the subject space, such value to be based upon
the age, condition, design, quality of finishes and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the same can be utilized by a general office user other than Tenant; and (c) other reasonable monetary concessions being granted such tenants
in connection with such comparable space. The Fair Rental Value shall also take into account (1) the terms and conditions of the Lease, including without limitation Tenant’s obligation to pay Additional Rent thereunder and (2) the
rental 

  
 Page 6 

 
structure of the Comparable Transactions (i.e., triple net rent). The Fair Rental Value shall additionally include a determination as to whether, and if so to what extent, Tenant must provide
Landlord with additional financial security, such as a letter of credit or guaranty, for Tenant’s Rent obligations in connection with Tenant’s lease of the First Offer Space. Such determination shall be made by reviewing the extent of
financial security then generally being imposed in Comparable Transactions from tenants of comparable financial condition and credit history to the then existing financial condition and credit history of Tenant (with appropriate adjustments to
account for differences in the then-existing financial condition of Tenant and such other tenants). The Concessions (A) shall be reflected in the effective rental rate (which effective rental rate shall take into consideration the total dollar
value of such Concessions as amortized on a straight-line basis over the applicable term of the Comparable Transaction (in which case such Concessions evidenced in the effective rental rate shall not be granted to Tenant)) payable by Tenant, or
(B) at Landlord’s election, all such Concessions shall be granted to Tenant in kind. The term “Comparable Buildings” shall mean the Building, those other office buildings located near the Building and known as 601 Gateway
Boulevard and 651 Gateway Boulevard, and those other comparable Class A office buildings located in the South San Francisco submarket. 

10.2    Determination of Fair Market Value Rent. If Tenant, on or before the date which is thirty (30)
days following the date upon which Tenant receives the First Offer Notice, in good faith objects to Landlord’s determination of the First Offer Rent set forth therein, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the First Offer Rent
using their best good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s objection to the First Offer Rent (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party shall make a
separate determination of the First Offer Rent, as the case may be, within ten (10) business days, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Sections 10.2.1 through 10.2.7,
below. 
 10.2.1    Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall be, at the option of the appointing
party, a real estate broker or appraiser who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing or appraisal, as the case may be, of Class-A
commercial office properties in San Mateo County. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted First Offer Rent is the closest to the actual First Offer Rent, taking
into account the requirements of Section 10.1 of this Amendment, as determined by the arbitrators. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date. Landlord and Tenant
may consult with their selected arbitrators prior to appointment and may select an arbitrator who is favorable to their respective positions. The arbitrators so selected by Landlord and Tenant shall be deemed “Advocate Arbitrators.”

 10.2.2    The two (2) Advocate Arbitrators so appointed shall be specifically required pursuant to an engagement
letter within ten (10) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed Advocate Arbitrator to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator (“Neutral Arbitrator”) who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth
hereinabove for qualification of the two Advocate Arbitrators, except that neither the Landlord or Tenant or either parties’ Advocate Arbitrator may, directly or indirectly, consult with the Neutral Arbitrator prior or subsequent to his or her
appearance. The Neutral Arbitrator shall be retained via an engagement letter jointly prepared by Landlord’s counsel and Tenant’s counsel. 

  
 Page 7 

 10.2.3    The three arbitrators shall, within thirty (30) days of
the appointment of the Neutral Arbitrator, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted First Offer Rent, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. 

10.2.4    The decision of the majority of the three arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. 

10.2.5    If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an Advocate Arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the
Outside Agreement Date, then either party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of San Mateo County to appoint such Advocate Arbitrator subject to the criteria in Section 10.2.1 of this Lease, or if he or
she refuses to act, either party may petition any judge having jurisdiction over the parties to appoint such Advocate Arbitrator. 

10.2.6    If the two (2) Advocate Arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, then either
party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of San Mateo County to appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, subject to criteria in Section 10.2.2 of this Lease, or if he or she refuses to act, either party may
petition any judge having jurisdiction over the parties to appoint such arbitrator. 
 10.2.7    The cost of the
arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally. 
 10.2.8    In the event that the First Offer Rent shall not
have been determined pursuant to the terms hereof prior to the commencement date of the First Office Space, Tenant shall be required to pay the First Offer Rent initially provided by Landlord to Tenant, and upon the final determination of the First
Offer Rent, the payments made by Tenant shall be reconciled with the actual amounts of First Offer Rent due, and the appropriate party shall make any corresponding payment to the other party. 

11.    Brokers. Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with
any real estate broker or agent, other than Newmark Cornish & Carey and Cushman & Wakefield (collectively, the “Broker”) in connection with the negotiation of this Amendment, and that they know of no real estate
broker or agent, other than Broker, who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Amendment. Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses,
liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of any dealings with any real estate
broker or agent, except for Broker, occurring by, through, or under the indemnifying party. The terms of this Section 11 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Amendment or the Lease. 

12.    No Default. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that, to Tenant’s actual knowledge as of
the date of this Amendment, Landlord is not in default of any of its obligations under the Original Lease and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default by Landlord. To
Tenant’s actual knowledge, as of the date hereof, Tenant has no offsets, setoffs, rebates, concessions, claims or defenses against or with respect to the payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sums payable under the Lease. 

  
 Page 8 

 13.    No Further Modification. Except as specifically set
forth in this Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Lease, and the terms and conditions of this Amendment,
the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall prevail. 
 14.    Counterparts. This Amendment may be
executed in counterparts with the same effect as if both parties hereto had executed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute a single agreement. 

15.    Authority. Tenant is a duly formed and existing entity qualified to do business in California
and that Tenant has full right and authority to execute and deliver this Amendment and that each person signing on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so.

TENANT WORK LETTER 

This Tenant Work Letter shall set forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Expansion
Premises. This Tenant Work Letter is essentially organized chronologically and addresses the issues of the construction of the Expansion Premises, in sequence, as such issues will arise during the actual construction of the Expansion Premises. All
references in this Tenant Work Letter to Articles or Sections of “this Amendment” shall mean the relevant portions of Articles 1 through 15 of this Amendment to which this Tenant Work Letter is attached as
Exhibit B, and of which this Tenant Work Letter forms a part, and all references in this Tenant Work Letter to Sections of “this Tenant Work Letter” shall mean the relevant portions of
Sections 1 through 5 of this Tenant Work Letter. 
 SECTION 1 

DELIVERY OF THE EXPANSION PREMISES AND BASE BUILDING 

1.1    Base, Shell and Core. Landlord has constructed, at its sole cost and expense, the base, shell, and core
(i) of the Expansion Premises and (ii) of the floor of the Building on which the Expansion Premises is located (collectively, the “Base, Shell, and Core”). The Base, Shell and Core shall consist of the following elements:
(A) base Building systems located in the vertical risers, raceways, and shafts (including elevator shafts and equipment, the telecom riser exclusive of equipment owned by third parties, electrical rooms, stair shafts and mechanical shafts) up
to but not including the point of demarcation of such systems with the horizontal point of connection on a particular floor; (B) in the case of the sprinkler system, it shall additionally include the valve at the riser and the main sprinkler
loop, but shall exclude branch pipes; (C) the concrete floor at each floor level, and (D) the Building’s steel and concrete superstructure. Except as provided in Section 1.2 below, Tenant shall accept the
Base, Shell and Core from Landlord in their presently existing, “as-is” condition. 

1.2    Landlord Work. Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, concurrently with Tenant’s
construction of the Tenant Improvements, remove the existing demising wall and construct a Building standard demising wall at the Expansion Premises, which shall include studs, acoustical insulation and dry wall ready for finish on the Tenant side
only and any necessary penetrations, fire dampers and sound traps (collectively, the “Demising Wall”), which Demising Wall shall be adjacent to the Expansion Premises as set forth on Exhibit A to this Amendment (collectively,
the “Landlord Work”). Tenant may not change or alter the Landlord Work. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Substantially Complete the Landlord Work no later than forty-five (45) days after the Expansion
Delivery Date. 
 In addition, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, to the extent required in order to allow Tenant to
obtain a certificate of occupancy, or its legal equivalent, for the Expansion Premises for general office use assuming a normal and customary office occupancy density, cause the Landlord Work and the Building Common Areas (including the Base
Building restrooms on the seventh (7th) floor of the Building), to comply with applicable building codes and other governmental laws, ordinances and regulations related to handicap access, which
were enacted and enforced as of the date of this Amendment. 

  
 EXHIBIT B 

- 1 - 

 Because Landlord shall be constructing the Landlord Work concurrently with Tenant’s
construction of the Tenant Improvements, there will be a certain “overlap” period pursuant to which both Landlord’s representatives, employees, vendors and contractors and Tenant’s representatives, employees, vendors and
contractors may be present and performing work in a portion of the Premises. During any such “overlap” period(s) when both parties and/or their respective employees, vendors, contractors or consultants are concurrently performing work in,
or accessing, any portion of the Premises, neither party shall unreasonably interfere with or delay the work of the other party and/or its contractors or consultants, and both parties shall mutually coordinate and cooperate with each other, and
shall cause their respective employees, vendors, contractors, and consultants to work in harmony with and to mutually coordinate and cooperate with the other’s employees, vendors, contractors and consultants, respectively, to minimize any

bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the “Final Working Drawings”) and shall submit two (2) copies signed by Tenant of the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval. Within seven
(7) business days after such delivery, Landlord shall either approve such Final Working Drawings or deliver to Tenant written notice of the specific, reasonable changes that Landlord requires to conform the Final Working Drawings to the
Final Space Plan. If Landlord reasonably disapproves the Final Working Drawings, Tenant shall make such changes and resubmit the revised Final Working Drawings to Landlord for its reasonable approval. Landlord and Tenant shall continue such process
until Landlord has reasonably approved the Final Working Drawings 
 3.4    Permits. The Final Working Drawings
shall be approved by Landlord (the “Approved Working Drawings”) prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall promptly submit the Approved Working Drawings to the appropriate municipal
authorities for all applicable building permits necessary to allow “Contractor,” as that term is defined in Section 4.1, below, to commence and fully complete the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the
“Permits”), and, in connection therewith, Tenant shall coordinate with Landlord in order to allow Landlord, at its option, to take part in all phases of the permitting process and shall supply Landlord, as soon as possible, with all

changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay). Tenant shall, however, have the right to
request changes in the Approved Working Drawings from time to time, and Landlord shall within three (3) business days after each such request, either approve such requested changes or reasonably disapprove such changes and deliver to Tenant
written notice of the specific, reasonable modifications to Tenant’s proposed changes that Landlord requires for its reasonable approval.

particularly in Sections 2.2.1.1 through 2.2.1.10, above, in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements to be performed by or at the direction of Tenant or the Contractor, which costs form
a basis for the amount of the Contract (the “Final Costs”). In the event that the Final Costs are greater than the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (the “Over-Allowance Amount”), then Tenant shall pay a
percentage of each amount requested by the Contractor or otherwise to be disbursed under this Tenant Work Letter, which percentage shall be equal to the Over-Allowance Amount divided by the amount of the Final Costs (after deducting from the Final
Costs any amounts expended in connection with the preparation of the Construction Drawings, and the cost of all other Tenant Improvement Allowance Items incurred prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements), and such
payments by Tenant (the “Over-Allowance Payments”) shall 

  
 EXHIBIT B 

- 7 - 

 
be a condition to Landlord’s obligation to pay any amounts from the Tenant Improvement Allowance. In the event that, after the Final Costs have been delivered by Tenant to Landlord, the
costs relating to the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements shall change, any additional costs necessary to such design and construction in excess of the Final Costs, shall be added to the Over-Allowance Amount and the Final Costs, and

for any work or services performed by Landlord for or in connection with the Tenant Improvements, except for the reasonable and actual out-of-pocket cost incurred by
Landlord, not to exceed $10,000, in connection with any third-party review of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and/or structural portions, as applicable, of any construction drawings relating to the Tenant Improvements in the event that Tenant
elects to make alterations to the common mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems serving the Building and/or the structure of the Building, as applicable. In the event of a conflict between the Approved Working Drawings and Landlord’s
construction rules and regulations, Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, shall determine which shall prevail. 

4.2.2.2    Indemnity. Tenant’s indemnity of Landlord as set forth in this Amendment shall also apply with
respect to any and all costs, losses, damages, injuries and liabilities related in any way to any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, or anyone

of any amount arising out of the Tenant Improvements (unless caused by Landlord’s failure to disburse funds from the Tenant Improvement Allowance in accordance with the terms of this Tenant Work Letter) and/or Tenant’s disapproval of all
or any portion of any request for payment. Such indemnity by Tenant, as set forth in this Amendment , shall also apply with respect to any and all costs, losses, damages, injuries and liabilities related in any way to Landlord’s performance of
any ministerial acts reasonably necessary (i) to permit Tenant to complete the Tenant Improvements, and (ii) to enable Tenant to obtain any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Expansion Premises , except to the extent

4.2.4    Inspection by Landlord. Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable prior notice of any inspection to be
performed by a governmental entity in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements in order to allow Landlord to be present during such inspection. Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Tenant Improvements at all times,
provided however, that Landlord’s failure to inspect the Tenant Improvements shall in no event constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder nor shall Landlord’s inspection of the Tenant Improvements constitute
Landlord’s approval of the same. Should Landlord reasonably disapprove any portion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such reasonable disapproval and shall specify the items disapproved. Any defects or

act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for
accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees, the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any
term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any
other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
