RECITALS

A. Pursuant to that certain Lease Agreement dated as of December 20, 2021, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of November 1, 2024 (as amended, the “Lease”), Tenant now leases from Landlord certain premises containing approximately 80,168 rentable square feet (the “Premises”) in that certain building located at 10955 Alexandria Way (previously known as “Building 5” at One Alexandria Square), San Diego, California, as more particularly described in the Lease. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings defined for such terms in the Lease.

B. The Term of the Lease is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2034 (the “Scheduled Expiration Date”).

C. Tenant and Landlord desire, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to accelerate the expiration date of the Term of the Lease.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, which are incorporated herein by this reference, the mutual promises and conditions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

1.
Termination Date. Landlord and Tenant agree, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to accelerate the expiration date of the Term of the Lease from the Scheduled Expiration Date to 11:59 PM Pacific Time on May 31, 2026 (the “Termination Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term of the Lease, and the Term of the Lease shall terminate on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Tenant does not surrender the Premises on or before the Termination Date in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Term of the Lease shall nonetheless terminate on the Termination Date and the holdover provisions of the Lease shall apply.
2.
Lease Modification Payment. In consideration of Landlord’s agreement to enter into this Agreement, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after the Condition Precedent (as defined below) has been satisfied, deliver to Landlord a lease modification payment in the amount of $10,000,000.00 (“Modification Payment”).
3.
Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, as further consideration for Landlord’s agreement to enter into this Agreement, Landlord shall, after the Condition Precedent has been satisfied, draw down and retain the full amount of the Security Deposit in the amount of $533,117.20 and Tenant shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any portion thereof.
4.
Base Rent and Operating Expenses. Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of all Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Amenities Fee, TI Rent and any other obligations due under the Lease through the Termination Date. Tenant shall not be required to pay Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Amenities Fee or TI Rent for any period following the Termination Date so long as Tenant surrenders the Premises in strict compliance with this Agreement and the Lease, and Tenant is not in breach hereof or under the Lease.
5.
Termination and Surrender. Tenant shall voluntarily surrender the Premises as provided in this Agreement. Tenant agrees to cooperate reasonably with Landlord in all matters, as applicable,

relating to surrendering the Premises in accordance with the surrender requirements set forth in the Lease and in the condition required pursuant to the Lease. After the Termination Date, Tenant shall have no further rights of any kind with respect to the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in Section 6 hereof, those provisions of the Lease which, by their terms, survive the termination of the Lease shall survive the surrender of the Premises and termination of the Lease provided for herein.
6.
No Further Obligations. Landlord and Tenant each agree that the other is excused following the Termination Date from any further obligations under the Lease with respect to the Premises, excepting only such obligations under the Lease which are, by their terms, intended to survive termination of the Lease (excluding those obligations in connection with the reconciliation of Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 5 of the Lease and any obligation to pay unpaid TI Rent in accordance with Section 4(b) of the Lease which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not survive the termination of the Lease pursuant to this Agreement) and except as provided for in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall not be responsible for any reconciliation of Operating Expenses or for TI Rent following the Termination Date. In addition, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or terminate any common law or statutory rights Landlord may have with respect to Tenant in connection with any hazardous materials or for violations of any governmental requirements or requirements of applicable law. Nothing herein shall excuse Tenant from its obligations under the Lease, as modified by this Agreement, prior to the Termination Date.
7.
Personal Property. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, as consideration for entering into this Agreement, Tenant shall transfer certain furniture, fixtures and equipment to Landlord pursuant to a Bill of Sale and Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Subject to the immediately prior sentence, any personal property of Tenant remaining in the Premises after the Termination Date is hereby agreed to be abandoned by Tenant and may be disposed of by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion, without obligation or liability of any kind to Tenant.
8.
Tenant’s Notice Address. Any notice given by Landlord to Tenant following the Termination Date may be delivered by (i) reputable overnight courier, or (ii) hand delivery with signature confirming receipt to the following address:
