shall be deemed to include deeds of trust, security assignments and any other encumbrances. Any reference to the “holder” of a mortgage shall be deemed to include the beneficiary under a deed of trust. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph, this Lease and Tenant’s interest in the Premises shall not be subordinate to any future mortgage or deed of trust on the Building, and Tenant shall not be obligated to execute an instrument subordinating this Lease or Tenant’s interest in the Premises to any future mortgage or deed of trust on the Building, unless concurrently with such subordination the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust agrees in such instrument of subordination not to disturb Tenant’s possession of the Premises (so long as no default exists under the Lease) in the event such holder acquires title to the Premises through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise.

27. Mechanic’s Liens. The Tenant shall not permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind to be placed on the Building as a result of
services or materials provided at the request of the Tenant or any Tenant Party. The Tenant shall indemnify and hold the Landlord harmless from any loss, cost, or expense arising out of any claims or liens asserted against the Building by, under, or
through the Tenant. The Tenant shall promptly provide the Landlord with written notice of any such lien or encumbrance and shall cause it to be discharged or bonded over, in a manner acceptable to the Landlord, within twenty (20) days after it
is filed or recorded. Failure to do so shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.

28. Estoppel Certificates. The Tenant agrees
to execute and deliver an estoppel certificate containing customary provisions to the Landlord, or the Landlord’s designee, within ten (10) days after the Landlord’s request. Failure to timely provide the estoppel certificate shall
constitute an immediate Event of Default.

29. Environmental Requirements. Tenant shall not allow any party to introduce, transport,
store, use, generate, manufacture, or dispose of any Hazardous Material at the Project without Landlord’s prior written consent except for Hazardous Materials contained in: (a) products used by Tenant in de minimis quantities for ordinary
cleaning and office purposes; (b) forklift propane tanks, and (c) products stored by Tenant in their original, sealed, and unopened containers. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall: (v) cause its operations at the Project to
comply strictly with all Environmental Requirements, including all reporting

Registrant has determined that: (i) the omitted information is not material; and (ii) the omitted information is the type that the Registrant treats as private or confidential.

obligations imposed by applicable Environmental Requirements in the capacity as “operator” of Tenant’s “facility” and the “owner” (as such terms are used
in applicable Environmental Requirements) of all Hazardous Materials brought onto the Project by Tenant Parties, and the wastes, by-products, or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom, or
extracted from the Project; (w) promptly inform and provide copies of any documentation relating in any way to Hazardous Materials at the Project which Tenant receives or sends; (x) promptly and diligently remediate in a manner
satisfactory to Landlord’s reasonable requirements, any Hazardous Materials released on, or from, the Project by Tenant Parties; (y) promptly notify Landlord in writing of any spill, release, discharge, or disposal of any Hazardous
Material in, on, or under the Project; and (z) promptly complete and deliver any disclosure or certification requested by Landlord concerning Tenant Parties’ transportation, storage, use, generation, manufacture or release of Hazardous
Materials in, on, or about the Project. Tenant shall be strictly liable to Landlord for Tenant Parties’ transportation, storage, use, generation, manufacturing, disposal, or release of Hazardous Materials at the Project without regard to the
fault or negligence of any other party. Notwithstanding any notice and cure periods provided herein, Tenant shall promptly commence and diligently pursue its remediation obligations in accordance with this Section. The term “Environmental
Requirements” means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, judgments, orders, or other similar enactments of any governmental authority or agency regulating or relating to health, safety, or
environmental conditions, including the following: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and all state and local counterparts thereto, and any regulations or policies
promulgated or issued thereunder. The term “Hazardous Materials” means any substance, material, waste, pollutant, or contaminant regulated by any Environmental Requirements, asbestos, radioactive materials, and petroleum
(including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas).

Tenant shall have no liability to Landlord as to Hazardous Materials on the Project which arose prior to Tenant’s initial possession of the Premises, or
during the Lease Term which were caused or permitted by any party other than Tenant, or Tenant Parties, or for Tenant’s disturbance of known existing Hazardous Materials.

Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord Parties harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, actions, suits, damages, costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorney, fees, third-party punitive damages, and any reduction in the value of the Project) which are brought or recoverable against, or suffered or incurred by Landlord as a result of: (a) any release of
Hazardous Materials on, or from, the Project by Tenant Parties, or (b) Tenant Parties’, breach of, or noncompliance with, this Section, regardless of whether Tenant had knowledge of such noncompliance. Tenant’s obligations under
this Section shall survive the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease.

If Landlord’s inspection pursuant to Section 20 reveals
noncompliance by Tenant with the provisions of this Section, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of such inspection and testing. Landlord’s receipt of a “clean” environmental assessment shall in no way
release Tenant from its obligations under this Section or constitute a waiver by Landlord of its rights and remedies herein.

Registrant has determined that: (i) the omitted information is not material; and (ii) the omitted information is the type that the Registrant treats as private or confidential.

30. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply with all rules and regulations reasonably
established by Landlord covering use of the Project so long as they do not increase Tenant’s obligations or liabilities, or decrease Tenant’s rights and remedies, under this Lease. The current rules and regulations are attached hereto as
Exhibit B, which may be supplemented from time to time. Landlord shall not have any liability or obligation for the breach of any rules or regulations by other tenants in the Project.

31. Force Majeure. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be responsible for delays in the performance of its obligations hereunder, whether
foreseen or unforeseen, caused by labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials, governmental restrictions or regulations or delay in issuance of permits, pandemic, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion,
casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be (collectively, “Force Majeure”); provided Force Majeure shall not apply to monetary obligations.

32. Entire Agreement. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any
prior agreements, promises, negotiations, or representations are superseded by this Lease. This Lease may only be amended in writing signed by both parties.

33. Severability. If any clause of this Lease is deemed to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, then it is
the intention of the parties that such clause be replaced with a valid clause of similar meaning and that the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected.

34. Brokers. Each party represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any broker or agent in connection with this
transaction, other than Landlord Broker and Tenant Broker, if any, set forth in Section 1 of this Lease. Each party agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any claims by any other broker or agent claiming a
commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with the indemnifying party with regard to this Lease.
