 KNOT Shuttle Tankers 26 AS 

Annual Report 2016 
  

 
 M/T “Lena Knutsen” 

 
 

 

 KNOT SHUTTLE TANKERS 26 AS 

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2016 

KNOT Shuttle Tankers 26 AS have contracted one 158,000 DWT suez-max DP2 shuttle tanker at Hyundai Heavy Industries
Co., Ltd. in South Korea for delivery in the 2nd quarter of 2017. 
 The company operates out of
Haugesund, Norway and has no employees and working environment. KNOT Management AS in Haugesund manages the daily operations of the company in accordance with separate agreement. 

The company’s activity 
 The Company has entered into
construction contract for one suez-max DP2 shuttle tanker at Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. in South Korea with hull number 2818. The vessel is expected to be delivered from the yard in the 2nd quarter of 2017. The design and construction of the vessel is proceeding according to schedule. The four first installments, 40% of the contract price, have been paid from signing the contract and
to the end of 2016 and there is one outstanding payment to the yard at delivery, with a total value of USD 73 million. 
 The vessels will be chartered
to Brazil Shipping I Limited, a member of Shell Group, on a five-year time charter agreement where charterer have option to increase the fixed period to seven or ten year and have two options to increase with five more years. 

Result for the year 
 The company has had no operating
income during 2016. The operating loss for KNOT Shuttle Tankers 26 AS was NOK 485 648 in 2016 compared to NOK 154 925 in 2015. After net financial income of NOK 1 470 562 in 2016, against net expenses of NOK 1 365 684 in 2015, the results of the
year were NOK 4 190 807 in 2016 compared to a loss of NOK 1 140 949 in 2015. 
 The Board of Directors propose to the result for the year transferred to
other equity. 
 Total cash flow from operational activities was NOK 21 336 245 in 2016, compared to NOK 1 997 096 in 2015. The liquidity position was NOK
23 267 058 as per 31.12.2016 compared to NOK 14 287 480 as per 31.12.2015. The company’s ability to finance its investments is good. The company have financed the vessel under construction in 2015 for period until the delivery and after
delivery and have secured a top financing from a related company in 2016. The outstanding mortgage loan including the loan from the related party were at the end of 2016 USD 55 million. 

The company’s short term debt was 0.7% of total debt as of 31.12.2016, compared to 2.1 % as of 31.12.2015. 

Total capital was by the end of the year NOK 643 294 911, compared to NOK 416 058 380 the year before. The equity share as of 31.12.2016 was 30%, compared to
45% per 31.12.2015. 
 The company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, especially USD, as the company’s income is denominated in USD.
Since the majority of the company’s operating expenses and financial costs also are denominated in USD, this limits the company’s foreign exchange risk. The company has not entered into any forward contracts or other agreements in order to
reduce the company’s foreign exchange risk, and thereby operating related market risk. 

 The company is also exposed to changes in the interest rate level, as its long term debt carrying floating
interest rate. The company has entered into interest rate swaps to reduce the company’s interest rate risk. 
 The financial accounts are made on the
assumption of a going concern. The Board of Directors confirms the conditions for continued operation. The Board of the Directors is of the opinion that the financial statements give a true and fair reflection of the company’s assets and
liabilities as well as financial strength and profitability. 
 The environment safety and quality control 

The requirements for environment and safety in the operations of the vessels are increasing, and both the Company and the Knutsen NYK Offshore Tankers Group
emphasize operational quality. 
 The Company and the group allocate considerable resources to quality control, and there are strict requirements to safety
and the operational systems of the vessel. There are no indications that the company pollutes the external environment significantly, and the board of directors considers the working conditions as satisfactory. All certificates are valid. The new
building will be certified in accordance with both the ISM and ISPS codes from delivery. 
 The company have no employees and thus no working environment.
The company aims to be workplace where there is no discrimination related to gender, ethnicity, religion or disability. The company aims to avoid gender discrimination regarding salary, promotion and recruiting. The members of the Board of Directors
are all men. 
 Future prospects 
 The contracted vessel
is chartered out on a long term charter with a company in the Shell Group. The company have secured long term financing partly secured with interest rate swaps. The Board of Directors of KNOT Shuttle Tankers 26 AS expects 2017 to be a satisfactory
year for the company with delivery of the vessel from the yard and to the charterer.

Notes to the Financial Statement 31.12.2016 
  

	1	Accounting Principles 

 The financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway. 
 Current Assets/Current
Liabilities 
 Fixed assets are intended for long-term ownership and use. Other assets are classified as current assets. Short-term
liabilities are due within one year or tied to the operation of the vessel. Other liabilities are classified as long-term liabilities. 

Current assets are valued at the lower of cost and fair value. Short-term liabilities are recorded at nominal value at the time of the
entering. 
 This principle is not used for current items in foreign currency, which are valued at the rate of exchange at the year-end. 
 Fixed Assets 

The total cost of the vessel is capitalised at delivery and depreciated linearly to zero at the date 25 years after delivery of the vessel from
newbuilding yard. 
 The total cost of the contract value is linearly capitalised over the contract period. 

Dry-docking expenses are capitalised and expensed over the period till the next dry-docking. This is in line with the depreciation plan of the vessel, and takes into account that the vessel is classified to operate for an additional period. Dry-docking is
carried out every 5th year for vessels less than 15 years, and every 2.5 year for vessels more than 15 years. In the case of a newbuilding, a portion of the total cost of the vessel equal to the dry-docking
cost is capitalised. Actual expenses related to repair and maintenance of the vessel are expensed when the work is executed. 
 The fixed
assets are valued according to the lowest of the depreciated value and the market value unless the fall in value is assumed to be temporary. 

 Interest-bearing loan and borrowings 

All loans and borrowings are initially recognized at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs associated
with the borrowing. 
 After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method; any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recorded in the profit and loss over the period of the interest-bearing liabilities. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into
account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement. 
 Gains and losses are recognized in the net profit and loss statement
when the liabilities are devalued or depreciated, as well as through the amortization process. 
 Tax 

The company have elected to be taxed based on the Norwegian tonnage tax regime. The tonnage tax regime have a list of requirements that
companies have to fulfill to qualify for election of the regime, such as minimum 3% direct or indirect ownership in vessels that perform transportation only. The company are restricted to what assets, liabilities and business they can participate
in, and the same will apply for underlying companies and/or partnerships. 
 In the tonnage tax regime the company pay a tonnage tax based on
the weight of the owned vessels and taxable result is based on a taxable financial result. This means that the company’s operating results is not taxable. The taxable financial result is based on the net financial items in the profit and loss
account where only a portion of the foreign exchange gain is taxable and a portion of the foreign exchange loss and interest expenses is deductible. The portion is based on the amount of financial assets compared to total assets in the balance
sheet. The company will also have to pay a calculated tax on the equity if the equity exceed 70% of total capital. 
 The calculated tax
expenses in the profit and loss statement includes both the payable tax for the period in addition to the change in deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated based on the temporary differences between the balance sheet values in the accounts and the
tax values in addition to the tax loss carried forward at the end of the financial year. Tax increasing and decreasing changes in temporary differences that can be reversed in the same period are offset and the net value is taken into the accounts.

 Cash flow statement 

The cash flow statement is presented using the indirect method of NRS. The liquidity balance is defined as the sum of cash, bank deposits and
other short term liquid deposits. 
 Related party transactions

and are in accordance with the arm’s length principle. KNOT Management AS delivers ship management services for the Company’s vessel. Ship management fee includes services like technical management, crewing management, IT and energy

 The USDNOK exchange rate at the year-end was 8,6456 (8,7986 in 2015).

 The estimated outstanding debt per 31.12.2021 is USD 74 million. 

The company has aimed to reduce the market risk by entering financial contracts. Hedge accounting has been applied for revenue in USD (cash
flow hedge). Loans in USD are used as hedging instrument. The profit and loss impact of the hedging instrument (loan in USD) is presented together with the hedged risk. This implies that realized currency gain/losses on the loans are presented as an
increase/reduction of operating income. 
 Future income flows from anticipated fixed contracts in USD exceed debt in USD. Therefore it is
not recognized foreign exchange gains/losses on USD debt on the basis of the year-end exchange rate. Per 31.12.2016 the not recorded foreign exchange loss (i.e.
off-balance) is NOK 19.8 million compared to a loss of NOK 0.5 million as per 31.12.2015. 

Security for the loan is made through a first priority in the vessel, transportation of income, pledged bank deposit, factoring agreement,
pledged shares in the company and guarantees from the owner. 
 Book value of mortgaged assets is NOK 643 million (NOK 416 million
in 2015).

	12	Tax 

 The company is taxed based on the shipping tax regime after entrance to the
regime in 2016. This means that companies are not taxed on the basis of its operating results. There are however ordinary tax of 25% on the company’s net financial income. At the same time the company is within the tonnage tax scheme, the
tonnage tax is calculated, which in 2016 amounted to NOK 0. Tonnage tax is classified as an operating expense. 
 There are a number of
requirements to be within the scheme, including ownership of ship or shares in shipping companies and only certain types of financial assets. 

Temporary differences relating to financial items are assesed when calculating deferred tax / benefit, which is 24% of net temporary
differences. The accounting treatment follows the general valuation rules for capitalization. 
 Entrance to the tonnage tax regime resulted
in an entrance tax. Entrance tax is calculated as the difference between the market value and the tax value.

 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

To the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of KNOT Shuttle Tankers 26 AS 

Report on the audit of the financial statements 

Opinion 
 We have audited the financial statements of KNOT
Shuttle Tankers 26 AS, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2016, the income statement and statements of cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

 In our opinion, the financial statements of KNOT Shuttle Tankers 26 AS have been prepared in accordance with laws and regulations and present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2016 and its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in
Norway. 
 Basis for opinion 
 We conducted our audit in
accordance with laws, regulations, and auditing standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, including International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Norway, and we have
fulfilled our ethical responsibilities as required by law and regulations. We have also complied with our other ethical obligations in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 
 Other information 

Other information consists of the information included in the Company’s annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report
thereon. The Board of Directors (management) is responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the audit of the financial statements does not cover the other information, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement
of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 
 Responsibilities of management for the
financial statements 
 Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Norwegian
Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and for such internal control as management determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error. 
 In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do
so. 
 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

  
 A member firm of Ernst & Young
Global Limited 

 

 
  

 As part of an audit in accordance with law, regulations and generally accepted auditing principles in Norway,
including ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 
  

	 	•	 	identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control; 

  

	 	•	 	obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Company’s internal control; 

  

	 	•	 	evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management; 

 

	 	•	 	conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may
cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to
continue as a going concern; 

  

	 	•	 	evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation. 

 We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 
 Report on
other legal and regulatory requirements 
 Opinion on the Board of Directors’ report 

Based on our audit of the financial statements as described above, it is our opinion that the information presented in the Board of Directors’ report
concerning the financial statements, the going concern assumption, and proposal for the allocation of the result is consistent with the financial statements and complies with the law and regulations. 

Opinion on registration and documentation 
 Based on our
audit of the financial statements as described above, and control procedures we have considered necessary in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000, Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of
Historical Financial Information, it is our opinion that management have fulfilled their duty to ensure that the Company’s accounting information is properly recorded and documented as required by law and bookkeeping standards and practices
accepted in Norway.

 Exhibit 10.33 

SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE 

This Second Amendment to Lease (the “Second Amendment”) is made and entered into as of this 28th day of April, 2017 (the “Execution Date”), by and between CRP/KING 830 WINTER, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, the successor-in-interest to Intercontinental
Fund III 830 Winter Street, LLC, (the “Landlord”) and HISTOGENICS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (formerly a Massachusetts corporation), (the “Tenant”). 

WITNESSETH 
 A.
Landlord’s predecessor and Tenant are parties to that certain Lease Agreement dated June 9, 2006, as amended by a First Amendment to Lease October 1, 2009 (the “First Amendment”) (as amended, the
“Lease”) for the lease of certain premises containing 25,472 rentable square feet of space on the third floor and in the basement (collectively, the “Premises”) of the building located at 830 Winter Street, Waltham,
Massachusetts 02451 (the “Building”). 
 B. The current Term of the Lease expires December 31, 2017 (the
“Expiration Date”), and the parties desire to extend the Term for an additional period of seven (7) years. 
 C. Landlord
and Tenant desire to amend the Lease to reflect the foregoing and to make modifications to certain other provisions of the Lease, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree to amend the Lease as follows: 
 1. EXTENSION OF TERM 

A. Additional Term. The Lease Term is hereby extended for an additional seven-(7)-year period (“Additional Term”),
commencing on January 1, 2018, and expiring on December 31, 2024 (the “Extended Expiration Date”), unless sooner terminated or further extended in accordance with the terms of the Lease, as hereby amended. The Additional
Term shall be upon all of the same terms and conditions of the Lease in effect immediately prior to the commencement of the Additional Term, except to the extent inconsistent with the provisions of this Second Amendment. 

B. Tenant’s Extension Option. Reference is made to Section 36 of the Lease, pursuant to which Tenant was granted the right to
extend the Lease Term for two Extension Terms of five (5) years each. In consideration of Landlord’s agreement to extend the Lease Term for the Additional Term, the parties hereby agree that Tenant shall have the option (“Extension
Option”), in accordance with said Section 36, to extend the Lease Term for only one additional Extension Term of five (5) years, said Extension Term to commence as of January 1, 2025 and expire as of December 31, 2029.
Tenant’s remaining Extension Option may be exercised by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of said Section 36, as hereby amended, provided that the references in the first paragraph of Section 36 to “initial Lease
Term” and “initial Lease Term, as extended” shall be deemed to refer to the Additional Term. 

 C. Rent 

(i) Fixed Rent. The amount of Fixed Rent payable by Tenant during the Additional Term shall (subject to Section 2.C
below) be as set forth in this Section 1.C. All such Fixed Rent shall be payable by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 of the Lease.

	1/1/24 – 12/31/24	 		    	$1,459,800.36	    	$121,650.03	    	$57.31

 (ii) Additional Rent. Tenant shall continue to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of
Taxes and Operating Expenses during the Additional Term in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of the Lease, respectively. 

(iii) Electricity. Tenant shall continue to pay for electricity provided to the Premises during the Additional Term in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of the Lease. 
 D. Condition of Premises. 

Since, as of the Execution Date, Tenant is in possession of the Premises, Tenant hereby agrees that, except for Landlord’s obligation to
provide Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution, as set forth in Exhibit A, Second Amendment, and Landlord’s obligation to provide the Electrical Service Upgrade, as set forth in Section 2 below, Tenant shall accept the
Premises during the Additional Term in “as-is” condition, without any obligation on the part of Landlord to refurbish the Premises and without any representations or warranties by Landlord to Tenant as to the condition of the Premises or
the Building. Nothing herein contained shall in any way diminish or affect Landlord’s on-going service obligations under Section 6 of the Lease or Landlord’s repair, maintenance and/or replacement obligations under Section 13 of
the Lease. 
 2. ELECTRICAL SERVICE UPGRADE 

A. Landlord, at no cost to Tenant, will work with Eversource to increase the transformer/electrical capacity serving the Building by changing
the electrical service from a 

  
 2 

 
secondary metered service to a primary metered service (the “Electrical Service Upgrade”). However, in no event shall the additional Tenant electrical load (the
“Additional Load”) resulting from the Second Amendment Work exceed 225 amps at 480 volts (i.e., the Additional Load is in addition to the current power capacity available to Tenant). Subject to final design requirements by
Eversource, the Electrical Service Upgrade shall include, but not be limited to, the replacement of the existing transformer and the installation of a new transformer, resulting in a total of two transformers serving the Building. A total of 480 kW
of power shall be made available to Tenant for the Additional Term, and the Extension Term, inclusive of the power currently available to Tenant under the Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, the main electrical service for the Building will remain at
25 watts per square foot, which includes base Building and available Tenant power in accordance with the Lease in effect immediately prior to the Execution Date. 

B. Landlord anticipates that the Electrical Service Upgrade shall be substantially completed by December 31, 2017. However, except as set
forth in Section 2.C below, if, for any reason, the Electrical Service Upgrade is not substantially completed by December 31, 2017, then Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, Tenant shall have no rights against Landlord, and
Tenant’s obligations under the Lease shall not be affected by any delay in the performance of the Electrical Service Upgrade. 
 C.
Notwithstanding the foregoing: 
  

	 	(1)	If the Electrical Service Upgrade is substantially completed after the Initial Rent Credit Date, as hereinafter defined, but on or before the Second Rent Credit Date, as hereinafter defined, then Tenant shall receive a
credit against the amount of Fixed Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder equal to $1,046.79 per day for each day between the Initial Rent Credit Date and the date the Electrical Service Upgrade is substantially completed.

 

	 	(2)	If the Electrical Service Upgrade is substantially completed after the Second Rent Credit Date, then Tenant shall receive a credit against the amount of Fixed Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder equal to the
sum of: (i) the product of $1,046.79 per day for each day between the Initial Rent Credit Date and the Second Rent Credit Date, plus (ii) $2,500.00 per day for each day between first day after the Second Rent Credit Date and the date the
Electrical Service Upgrade is substantially completed.

  

	 	(3)	The “Initial Rent Credit Date” shall be defined as the date that is ten (10) months following the Execution Date, except that the Initial Rent Credit Date shall be extended by the number of days
(if any) that Landlord is delayed in substantially completing the Electrical Service Upgrade as the result of either: (i) delays caused by Eversource (“Eversource Delays”), or (ii) any other reasons beyond Landlord’s
reasonable control except for Eversource Delays (“Other Causes Beyond Landlord’s Reasonable Control”). Eversource delays and Other Causes Beyond Landlord’s Reasonable Control are referred to collectively herein as
“Excused Delays”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Rent Credit Date shall not be extended by any period of time prior to the date that Landlord gives Tenant written notice such Excused Delay. 

  
 3 

	 	(4)	The “Second Rent Credit Date” shall be defined as the date eighteen (18) months after the Execution Date, except that the Second Rent Credit Date shall be extended by the number of days (if any)
that Landlord is delayed in substantially completing the Electrical Service Upgrade by reason of Other Causes Beyond Landlord’s Reasonable Control Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Outside Date shall not be extended by any Other Cause
Beyond Landlord’s Reasonable Control with respect to any period of time prior to the date that Landlord gives Tenant written notice such Other Cause Beyond Landlord’s Reasonable Control. 

 

	 	(5)	The provisions of this Section 2C set forth Tenant’s sole remedies, by at law and in equity in the event of any day in the performance of the Electric Service Upgrade.

SECOND AMENDMENT WORK 

WORK LETTER 
 This Exhibit
is attached to and made a part of the Lease (the “Lease”) by and between CRP/KING 830 WINTER, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and HISTOGENICS CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (“Tenant”), for Premises located at 830 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Lease. 

This Work Letter shall set forth the obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the leasehold improvements Tenant intends to perform
in refurbishing the Premises for Tenant’s use during the Additional Term (the “Second Amendment Work”). The Second Amendment Work shall be consistent with the Scope of Work (“Scope of Work”) attached hereto and
incorporated herein as Exhibit A-1, Second Amendment. This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any
portion of the original Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any
amendment or supplement to the Lease. 
 I. Second Amendment Work 

1. Tenant’s Plans. In connection with the performance of the Second Amendment Work, including without limitation, the installation
of all furniture and fixtures, Tenant shall submit to Landlord for Landlord’s approval: (i) the names of and other reasonably requested information regarding Tenant’s proposed architect, general contractor, and subcontractors;
(ii) a set of design/development plans sufficient for Landlord to approve Tenant’s proposed design of the Premises (the “Design/Development Plans”), and (iii) a full set of construction drawings (“Final
Construction Drawings”) for the Second Amendment Work. The Design/Development Plans and the Final Construction Drawings are collectively referred to herein as the “Plans”. Landlord agrees that it will not unreasonably
withhold such approvals, subject to the following: (x) the Design/Design Development Plans and Final Construction Drawings are consistent with the Scope of Work and comply with Landlord’s requirements to avoid aesthetic or other conflicts
with the design and function of the balance of the Building and the Property, and (y) in the event that any portions of the Second Amendment Work affects the structure, roof, and/or Building systems, Landlord shall have the right to require
Tenant to engage engineers and subcontractors, as applicable, designated by Landlord in designing and performing such portions of the Second Amendment Work. Landlord’s approval is solely given for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant under this
Section 1, and neither Tenant nor any third party shall have the right to rely upon Landlord’s approval of the Plans for any other purpose whatsoever. Landlord agrees to respond to any request for approval of the Plans on or before the
date seven (7) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt thereof, except that with respect to any resubmission of Plans after the same have been reviewed and commented upon by Landlord, Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s request for
approval of such resubmission on or before the date three (3) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of such resubmission, provided that such resubmission clearly shows any changes to the previous set of Plans submitted by Tenant to
Landlord by either bubbling or redlining. 

  
 A-1 

 2. Performance of Second Amendment Work. The Second Amendment Work shall be performed
by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of the Lease (including, without limitation, Section 11 of the Lease, this Exhibit A, Second Amendment, and Exhibit A-1, Second Amendment). The Second Amendment Work shall be performed
at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, except for Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution, as hereinafter defined. Prior to commencing the Second Amendment Work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a schedule for the Second Amendment Work.
Tenant shall not perform any portion of the Second Amendment Work that would require a shutdown of any common Building system unless (a) Tenant provides Landlord with at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice of such work requiring the
shutdown, and (b) Tenant receives Landlord’s prior written approval of such shutdown, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 

Tenant shall be responsible (i) for connecting to the Building electrical system, whenever required, to bring additional power to the
Premises (“Tenant’s Electrical Work”) and (ii) for all costs incurred by Landlord as the result of any shutdowns of the Building systems in connection with the Second Amendment Work (e.g., without limitation, the costs of
employing emergency generators, the cost of restarting any Building system, the cost of supervisory personnel monitoring the shut down and start-up of the Building systems, etc.). Tenant’s Electrical Work shall be considered part of the Second
Amendment Work. At Tenant’s election, Tenant’s Electrical Work (as hereinafter defined) shall either be performed: (1) by Landlord, at Tenant’s cost, or (2) by Tenant. If Tenant performs Tenant’s Electrical Work, then
Tenant’s Electrical Work shall be performed after Business Hours, and Tenant’s Electrical Work shall be performed by contractors designated by Landlord. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be responsible for costs incurred by Landlord as the result of any shutdowns of the Building
systems in connection with Landlord’s Electrical Service Upgrade. 
 3. Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution. As an
inducement to Tenant’s entering into this Second Amendment and provided there exists no uncured Event of Default, Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of this Exhibit A, Second Amendment (including, without limitation,
Section 4 below), provide to Tenant a tenant improvement allowance (the “Landlord’s Second Amendment Allowance”) of up to $891,520.00 (i.e., $35.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) (the “Maximum
Amount”), to be applied by Tenant to the costs (“Permitted Costs”) incurred by Tenant in designing (“soft costs”) and in performing (“hard costs”) the Second Amendment Work. The amount, if
any, by which the Maximum Amount exceeds the aggregate amount of Permitted Costs with respect to which Tenant submits a requisition to Landlord on or before the Outside Requisition Date is referred to herein as the “Unused Allowance
Amount”. For the purposes hereof, Permitted Costs shall not include: (i) the cost of any of Tenant’s Property (i.e., Tenant’s furniture, equipment, fixtures and property of every kind, nature and description related or
arising out of Tenant’s leasehold estate hereunder, which may be in or upon the Premises or the Building) including without limitation telecommunications and computer equipment and all associated wiring and cabling, any de-mountable
decorations, artwork and partitions, signs, and trade fixtures, (ii) the cost of any fixtures or Alterations that will be removed at the end of the Term, (iii) any fees paid to Tenant, 

  
 A-2 

 
any Affiliate or successor, (iv) except as hereinafter set forth, any soft costs, or (v) except as set forth in Section 4 below, payment of Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant shall have the right to use up to $89,152.00 (i.e., $3.50 per rentable square foot of the Premises) of Landlord’s Second Amendment Allowance for soft costs (i.e., space planning and design, permit fees, signage, construction management
fees, equipment, and cabling). Landlord shall impose no Landlord supervisory or oversight fees in connection with the Second Amendment Work, except that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days of billing therefor, for
reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in engaging independent third party consultants and/or engineers to review Tenant’s Plans for the Second Amendment Work. In performing such review of Tenant’s Plans,
Landlord may either use the consultants listed on Exhibit A-2, Second Amendment, or other consultants selected by Landlord and approved by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
“Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution” shall be the lesser of (x) the actual Permitted Costs or (y) the Maximum Amount, as defined above. 

4. Application of a Portion of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution Against Annual Fixed Rent. The foregoing notwithstanding,
Tenant may, by written notice given by Tenant to Landlord on or before December 1, 2017, elect to a portion of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution equal to up to $509,440.00 ($20.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) (the
“Rent Credit”) as a credit against the installment(s) of Annual Fixed Rent first coming due after January 1, 2018. If Tenant timely makes such election, then the Maximum Amount shall be reduced by the Rent Credit. If Tenant
fails to notify Landlord of such election by December 1, 2017, then Tenant shall not be entitled to the Rent Credit. 
 5.
Budget. Tenant shall have no right to submit any requisition to Landlord on account of Permitted Costs until Tenant has submitted to Landlord a detailed good faith budget (“Budget”) of Permitted Costs. Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord an update of the Budget at least once every two (2) months, but in any event after Tenant enters into a contract for the performance of the Second Amendment Work with its contractor. 

(a) Tenant shall submit to Landlord reasonably detailed documentation evidencing the then current Budget at the time of each
Budget update. 
 (b) Requisitions. Landlord shall pay Landlord’s Proportion (hereinafter defined) of the cost
shown on each requisition (hereinafter defined) submitted by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of submission thereof by Tenant to Landlord until the entirety of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution has been exhausted.
“Landlord’s Proportion” shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is Maximum Amount (as reduced by the amount, if any, of the Rent Credit) of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution and the denominator of which is the
Budget for Permitted Costs, as the denominator may change, from time to time. A “requisition” shall mean AIA Documents G-702 and G-703 duly executed and certified by Tenant’s architect and general contractor (accompanied by,
without limitation, invoices from Tenant’s contractors, vendors, service providers and consultants (collectively, “Contractors”) and partial lien waivers and subordinations of lien, as specified in M.G.L. Chapter 254,
Section 32 (“Lien Waivers”) with respect to the prior month’s requisition, and such other documentation as Landlord or any Mortgagee may reasonably request) showing in reasonable detail the costs of the item in question or
of the improvements installed to date in the Premises, accompanied by certifications executed by the Chief Executive Officer, 

  
 A-3 

 
Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operations Officer, Vice President, or other officer of Tenant that the amount of the requisition in question does not exceed the cost of the items, services and
work covered by such requisition. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of written request from Landlord from time to time, provide to Landlord sufficient backup documentation relating to each requisition in order to verify the amount of Permitted
Costs for Tenant’s requested payment. Tenant shall submit requisition(s) no more often than monthly. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained: (1) Landlord shall have no obligation to advance funds on account of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution more than once per month; (2) if Tenant fails to pay to
Tenant’s contractors the amounts paid by Landlord to Tenant in connection with any previous requisition(s), Landlord shall thereafter have the right to have Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution paid directly to Tenant’s
contractors; (3) Landlord shall have no obligation to pay any portion of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution with respect to any requisition submitted prior to October 1, 2017 or after June 30, 2019 (the “Draw
Period”); (4) Tenant shall not be entitled to any Unused Allowance Amount of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution; (5) Landlord’s obligation to pay any portion of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution shall
be conditioned upon there existing no Event of Default by Tenant in its obligations under this Lease at the time that Landlord would otherwise be required to make such payment; and (6) in addition to all other requirements hereof,
Landlord’s obligation to pay the final ten percent (10%) of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution shall be subject to simultaneous delivery of all Lien Waivers relating to items, services and work performed in connection with the
Second Amendment Work. If Landlord declines to fund any requisition on the basis that, at the time that Tenant submitted such requisition to Landlord, Tenant is in default of its obligations under the Lease, then, if Tenant cures such default and so
long as the Lease is still in full force and effect, Tenant shall again have the right to resubmit such requisition (as may be updated by Tenant for any work performed since the date of the previously submitted requisition) for payment subject to
the terms and conditions of this Section I.5(c).
