THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS ARE FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF LANDLORD AND MAY BE WAIVED ONLY BY LANDLORD IN WRITING. IF THE FOREGOING CONTINGENCIES ARE NOT SATISFIED OR WAIVED IN WRITING BY LANDLORD ON OR PRIOR TO THE TERMINATION DATE, THEN THIS AMENDMENT SHALL AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATE, BE DEEMED VOID AB INITIO AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT. 3. Termination Date. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment (including, without limitation, the contingencies described in Section 2 above), effective as of 5:00 p.m. California time on April 14, 2025 (the “Termination Date”), Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition required by Section 4 below. Landlord and Tenant shall perform a walk-through of the Premises prior to the Termination Date once Tenant has fully or near fully vacated the Premises to assess the condition of the Premises and identify any repair obligations of Tenant not already identified in Section 4 below; provided, however, in connection with Tenant’s surrender of the Premises in accordance with this Amendment, Tenant shall have no obligation to perform any repairs to and/or replace the roof. From and after the Termination Date, the Lease shall terminate and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any rights, duties or obligations to one another in connection with the Lease except for the following (the following are collectively referred to herein as the "Surviving Obligations"): (a) Tenant's and Landlord’s obligations under the Lease as modified by this Amendment with respect to the Premises that accrue prior to the


 
Docusign Envelope ID: DE2623F1-6A68-44B8-820B-A9B0A5F552E5 Termination Date (including, without limitation, all rental obligations through and including the Termination Date); (b) in the event that Tenant does not vacate the Premises on or prior to the Termination Date, the performance by Tenant of its obligations under the Lease (as modified herein) with respect to the Premises and the payment by Tenant of holdover rent with respect to the Premises, until such time as Tenant has vacated the entire Premises (provided, however, the foregoing is in no way intended to provide Tenant with any right to delay its obligation to properly surrender the Premises on or before the Termination Date, ); (c) those obligations of Tenant and Landlord under this Amendment; and (d) those obligations of Tenant and Landlord under the Lease and/or at law which survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease which have not been superseded or are not in conflict with this Amendment. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease or this Amendment, the Surviving Obligations shall include, without limitation, (i) Tenant's indemnification obligations contained in the Lease, (ii) responsibility to pay reconciled Operating Expenses (and other charges or amounts) and Landlord’s responsibility to refund reconciled Operating Expenses (and other charges and amounts), and (iii) Tenant's repair and restoration obligations under Section 4 of this Amendment, and that the Surviving Obligations shall survive the termination of the Lease. 4. Surrender of the Premises. Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Premises in good condition and repair, broom swept (or vacuumed, as appropriate), and otherwise in accordance with Article 15 of the Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the date hereof, New Tenant has notified Landlord that New Tenant desires to keep the existing furniture fixtures and equipment of Tenant located in the Premises listed on Schedule 1 attached here (collectively, the “Surrender FF&E”). Tenant shall have the right to surrender the Surrender FF&E on the Termination Date with the Premises. The Surrender FF&E shall be surrendered to Landlord free of all liens and encumbrances. Ownership of the Surrender FF&E shall be deemed transferred to by Tenant to Landlord upon the Termination Date and Tenant shall no longer have any interest therein (and Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that it has the authority to transfer the same).

If Tenant fails to pay the Lease Termination Payment on such date, the Lease Termination Payment shall bear interest at the rate of the lower of fifteen percent (15%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law until the date such amount (together with accrued interest) has been paid in full. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord would not agree to terminate the Lease but for Tenant’s agreement to pay the Lease Termination Payment as and when due and that the Lease Termination Payment represents: (a) an amount intended to partially compensate Landlord resulting from early termination of the Lease, (b) partial consideration for Landlord’s agreement to terminate the Lease, and (c) roof repair costs incurred by Landlord prior to the Termination Date. 6. Security Deposit; Letter of Credit. Provided Tenant complies with the terms and conditions of this Amendment, within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date, Landlord shall pay to
