Exhibit 10.10
The licensee(s) identified on the signature page of this agreement (“Licensee”, or “Client”)
intends to contract with (please check one)
¨ Cambridge Innovation Center (legal entity: The
Cambridge Incubator, Inc.) or
¨ Impact Hub Boston (legal entity: Hub For Change, LLC)
of Cambridge, Massachusetts (the “Company”). Licensee and the Company hereby agree to the following. Please note that “you” and
“your” refer to the aforementioned Licensee, and “we” and “our” refer to the Company.
1. License: On behalf of the
Licensors identified in Exhibit A, the Company hereby grants Licensee, and Licensee hereby accepts from the Company, the license and privilege to operate an office and use the facilities at either of the premises indicated in Exhibit A. The Company
is the manager of these licensed facilities and is authorized to enter into license agreements with Clients through this Service Agreement. Licensee represents that it is not presently in default of a lease obligation to another lessor, nor would it
be as a consequence of moving to the Company’s facility.
Either party may terminate this agreement for any reason or no reason
with 30 days’ notice (the “Notice Period”). This license does not convey title to any land or buildings.
2. Space and Services: We
will provide you with one or more workspaces, use of a variety of common facilities, and a range of related office services detailed in Schedule D. The pro-forma quote or first invoice attached to this agreement details the initial workspaces to be
used by the Licensee, and the applicable space and service rates. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have obtained and reviewed an acceptable quote or invoice, prior to taking occupancy and you acknowledge the listed spaces and services
have been requested and agreed-to.
With our consent, you may add additional workspaces and services under this agreement at any time.
The Company’s facility is open to you 24x7, and you may conduct business at there at any time. The
Company does not permit its facilities to be used, however, as a substitute for sleeping accommodations. Actively choosing to sleep at the Company’s facility for the night is not consistent with the function of our facility, and we are not
equipped to support it. Use of the premises for large, private events is possible by prior arrangement.
The building provides HVAC
services during normal business hours. For details see Exhibit A.
Licensee acknowledges that even in the best-managed office
environments, systems, services, and security failures will occur. The Company will make its best efforts to provide quality services and otherwise maintain a quality environment, but you acknowledge that the Company is not responsible for
financial or other losses as a consequence of the receipt of services from the Company, or lack or insufficiency
thereof, regardless of the cause.
3. Moving Out: One of the benefits of our offering is to give clients the flexibility to be able to move
elsewhere on short notice if their needs change. The Company requests that you provide as much informal notice as possible of any planned decrease in your use of our services. Giving us an idea of your future plans will not prejudice your access to
current services, and may allow us to introduce you to alternative options.
Over and above any informal conversations you may have with
us, you agree to provide the Company at least 30 days’ advance formal definitive Notice of termination of this agreement as well as of any material reduction or your use of space or services under this agreement. This means 30 days’ Notice
is required if you plan to leave, but also if you plan to drop a part of your space at the Company’s facility. Please keep in mind that once you give us formal Notice, the Company will release that space for reservation by others following the
date you told us you will no longer require it, and it may not be possible for you to later reverse your decision.
Sometimes Licensees
need to vacate their space in less than 30 days from the time they provide us Notice. If this happens, you will still be responsible for full payment for your fees through the full Notice period, regardless of whether we reuse your space for others
soon thereafter.
Any time the Company reasonably believes a Licensee has vacated, abandoned a particular space, has left it and does
not plan to return to work there, and/or does not plan to continue to pay its fees to the Company, we may deem your space to be vacant, we may pack up and remove your stuff, and we may redeploy the space to others’ use. If you had not given
formal Notice of termination, we will deem that your Notice of termination was given on the date that we make the above determination. We will do our best to inform the responsible parties at Licensee of this action.
4. Use of Office: The Licensee will use the office for general office purposes and for any other purposes set forth in Schedule A and for no other
purpose without prior written permission from the Company. Licensee may not offer services that compete with those already offered by the Company. Licensee may install typical office equipment of the type and quantity typically in use in modern
offices. Licensee shall not install other equipment without the written consent of the Company.
Most services provided by the Company
are provided on an ‘unmetered’ basis. This ‘unmetered’ basis is premised on a good-faith understanding between the Company and the Licensee that this privilege will not be abused. Employing the Company’s services well beyond
normal office use, defined as the norm amongst other Licensees, without prior discussion, after having received Notice that the Company is concerned about this level of use, and having been given a reasonable opportunity to cure it, may be
considered a breach of this agreement. We find such over-use at the Company’s facility is

rare. An example would be printing high volumes of material on the color printer. We would say this is a job for a printing company. Most special needs can be accommodated by prior arrangement.
The Company is particularly sensitive to conference room use in this regard. We define “normal use” as frequent short
meetings throughout the day, long meetings occasionally, and multi-day long meetings very occasionally. All-day meetings should be no more frequent than once per quarter, on average. Please do not use the conference rooms for private phone calls
during peak hours (9 am - 5 pm). More liberal usage during off-peak hours and weekends is fine. Some larger Licensee spaces have dedicated conference spaces, to which these guidelines do not apply. If you expect to need to go beyond these
guidelines, please discuss with us before moving in.
5. Payment: All recurring fees payable under this Agreement shall be due and payable in
advance in US Dollars commencing on the date of move-in for the balance of that month, and thereafter on the first day of each month of the term. Incidental charges payable under this agreement (e.g. international phone charges) are included in the
next regular monthly rent invoice after they are determined, and shall be due and payable as part of that invoice. All charges appearing on the monthly invoice shall be considered final and agreed to if not questioned within 90 days of the invoice
date. Licensee shall be obligated to pay the Company interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on all sums Licensee is obligated to pay under the terms of Schedule A from the date fifteen (15) days after said sums become due and
remain unpaid until the date such sums are paid in full. In addition, Licensee shall pay reasonable attorney’s and/or arbitrator’s fees and other costs incurred by the Company in conjunction with collecting any late payment, all of which
are to be paid by Licensee within five (5) days of receipt of the Company’s invoice therefore. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before assessing interest charges the first time in any six (6) month period, the Company shall provide the
Licensee Notice of the delinquency, and shall waive such interest payment if the Licensee pays such delinquent amount within five (5) days thereafter.
The standard method of payment that the Company accepts is automatic bank debit (ACH). An automatic debit authorization form is attached
hereto. For any Licensee for which automatic debit is impractical (e.g. you have no US bank account, corporate policy forbids this payment method). Licensee has the option of paying by check, but in conjunction with that agrees to increase its
deposit on hand with the Company by one month beyond that required in Section 7 below. The Company acknowledges that Licensee may cancel this authorization at will, however such cancellation without payment in advance of the additional one
month deposit will be deemed a 30-day written Notice of termination of this agreement.
6. Access to Licensee spaces: The Licensee acknowledges
that the Company’s active management of the office space and the Company’s provision of a variety of office services including, where applicable, phones, internet connections, and so forth necessitates that the Company be able to access
the Licensee’s offices in the same manner that Licensee’s own internal office managers and technology support staff would, without advance
notice, in order to provide said services, view the condition of the office, make alterations and repairs and so forth. We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that such visits do not disrupt
the Licensee’s operations.
7. Deposit: Upon execution of this Agreement, the Licensee shall pay a security deposit equal to one month’s
fees for the performance by Licensee of all the provisions of this Agreement (the “Deposit”). In the event that the average level of Licensee’s usage of the Company’s services has increased or decreased materially, the dollar
amount of the required Deposit will adjust from time to time to reflect the new approximate average level of usage (for example: if you double the amount of space you have, and therefore your fees double, the amount of your required deposit will
double as well, to keep step with your fees).
The Company may apply your Deposit to any charges or other payments due from you or to
any other amount the Company may be required to expend on your behalf. If the deposit that the Company has on hand from you falls below the required level for any reason, upon being given Notice of this situation, you shall reimburse the Company for
any amount required such that the Deposit on hand will not be less than the full required amount under this agreement.
The required
Deposit amount shall be increased by an additional one (1) month’s fees if you are late in payment on two (2) separate occasions, where Notice of your lateness is provided after the first occasion. If you are not in default or breach
of this Agreement at the end of the term, the unapplied balance of the Deposit shall be returned to you without interest within 30 days’ after your departure.
8. Liability for Damages: Licensee acknowledges liability for any damage to equipment, furnishings, and any other property of “the Company, the
Licensors, their Landlords, or their other Licensees caused by Licensee, its employees, guests, or affiliated parties, excluding damage due to normal wear and tear. Licensee agrees to pay the cost to repair or replace (at full replacement cost) the
damaged property, at the discretion of the Company. Such charges shall be treated as incidental charges as specified in Paragraph 5.
9. Acceptable use
rules and regulations: The Licensee acknowledges that no trade or occupation shall be conducted in the office or use made thereof which will be unlawful, improper or offensive, or contrary to any law or any municipal by-law or ordinance in force
in the City of Cambridge. The Company explicitly prohibits the conduct of business directly related to pornography or gambling.
Licensee agrees with the Company that Licensee shall not cause disturbances, create odors or situations any of
which may be offensive to other Licensees or that would interfere with the normal operations of the Cambridge Innovation Center. Licensee also agrees with the Company that Licensee shall not use tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes or
smoking devices, while in the Company’s buildings. While at the Company’s facility. Licensee agrees not to intentionally display or print pornography. Licensee agrees not to send unsolicited commercial email (spam) using the Company’s
network, and to cooperate fully when requested by the Company to remove viruses, worms, Trojans, bots and other malware from its computer systems.

To minimize interference with the common wireless data and voice network(s) the Company
provides for the use of all clients. Licensee agrees that it will not set up an independent wireless network at the Company’s facility without prior consultation and approval from the Company’s technology staff.
Licensees are welcome to state that they are located at the Company’s facility and are a client of the Company. Licensees agree not to
describe the Company as a business partner (or similar) without written permission.
It is understood and agreed that Licensee shall
comply with any rules and regulations issued by the Company or the buildings’ Landlords from time to time from and after the date on which Licensee is made aware of such rules and regulations.
10. Addressing Conflict and Inappropriate Behavior:
Licensee understands that from time to time conflicts can occur between individuals in any shared environment such as the Company’s, and that employees
and other invitees of licensees can be accused of inappropriate behavior in ways that require a response from the Company management in order for the Company to ensure a safe and supportive working environment for all. Such situations may or may not
be contrary to law. and they may or may not be readily provable. If such an situation occurs. Licensee agrees that the Company may use its best judgment with regard to how to resolve or eliminate the issue, with the goal of rapidly and
cost-effectively ensuring an outcome that is acceptable to the Company and the community at large. Depending on the nature and severity of the allegation the Company receives, the information the Company has, the extent of readily available proof of
such information or allegations, and how likely the Company believes the situation is to reoccur, the Company may elect to privately and confidentially seek to resolve the issue directly with the employee or invitee (without notifying
Licensee’s management or may elect to directly involve Licensee’s management in the event that Licensee’s management is not notified, the intent is generally to protect the privacy of the accused individual where the Company believes
the situation is sufficiently minor and this way can be resolved amicably and permanently. In many cases it is possible to achieve resolutions without requiring an investigation. Such resolutions can include the accused party simply acknowledging
that they have “heard” the concern, and their agreeing to take care in the future that such concerns do not arise again. If circumstances make an extensive investigation unavoidable, or such is required by a court or law enforcement,
Licensee will be responsible for the cost of investigation of matters relating to its employees or invitees’ alleged inappropriate behavior. If in the Company’s reasonable judgment the presence of an individual would represent an ongoing
hindrance to the Company’s ability to ensure a safe and supportive environment, the Company will let the Licensee know that Licensee can no longer grant access to the Company premises for that individual. Licensee has a duty to the Company and
the community at large to take care in the selection of its employees and choice of its invitees, and Licensee acknowledges that It is responsible for their
actions. Licensee agrees that the Company is not responsible for the economic consequences to Licensee or the
accused individual as a result of actions taken in good faith to protect the community and that any related losses that the Company sustains are the Licensee’s responsibility under the indemnification section of this agreement (Section 13).
11. Insurance: With respect to the spaces it makes use of from time to time within the Licensors’ premises. Licensee agrees to maintain at
its own cost during the term hereof insurance coverage for Comprehensive General Liability Insurance (CGL) in an amount not less than $1,000,000 for general property damage and personal injury (including, without limitation, bodily injury, sickness.
disease, and death) and S2,000,000 in aggregate liability coverage, as well as a policy of fire, vandalism, malicious mischief, extended coverage and so-called “all risk” coverage insurance in an amount equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of the replacement cost insuring all of Licensee’s furniture, equipment, fixtures and property of every kind, nature and description which may be in or upon the building. All such CGL shall include the additional insured parties
endorsed on the policy as shown in Exhibit A. Licensee shall provide the Company with all endorsements and an XXXXX 25-S or XXXXX-28 certificate, prior to the date Licensee takes possession of its assigned office. Such CGL certificates and/or
endorsements must spell out the names of the additional insureds precisely as shown above. To the extent required by Massachusetts law, the Licensee also shall carry Worker’s Compensation Insurance. The insurance required under this Section
must be placed with insurers authorized to Jo business in Massachusetts, with a rating of not less than “A-VIII” in the current Best’s Insurance Reports. All policies required under this Section shall be written as primary policies
and not contributing to or in excess of any coverage the Company or the Licensors may otherwise maintain. All insurance herein required shall be deemed an obligation of Licensee, not a discharge or limitation of Licensee’s obligation to
indemnify the Company or the Licensors, If the Company provides the name of a particular broker or insurer to the Licensee. Licensee agrees that Licensee is itself nevertheless the sole party responsible for ensuring that such coverage meets these
requirements. For purposes of insurance, the insurer may wish to review Exhibit A for more building specific information.
12. Fire and Fire
Insurance: The Licensee shall not permit any use of fire in its offices (candles, matches, etc.) for any reason. It will further not permit any use of the office which will make voidable any insurance on the property of which the office is a
part or on the contents of said property or which shall be contrary to any law or regulation from time to time established by the New England Fire Insurance Rating Association, or any similar body succeeding to its powers.
13. Indemnification and Liability: To the greatest extent permitted by law, except for harm caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct of the

process, introduces new parties which become owners or responsible parties for Licensee and/or property stored at the Licensee’s premises. Licensee must bind such parties to this agreement, and notify the Company of the names and contract
information for the same parties. These parties shall in any case be deemed to be signatories to this agreement by virtue of having taken an interest in property located in the Licensee’s premises or by virtue of having commenced to use the

25. Non-solicitation of Employees of the Company: Licensee hereby acknowledges that employees of the
Company have been carefully selected and/or received training from the Company and agrees not to employ or solicit for employment any employee of the Company for a period of 12 months following termination of this Agreement and further agrees that
in any case if such employee is hired, Licensee shall pay the Company the sum equal to the employee’s annual salary previously paid to employee by the Company as liquidated damages.
26. Choice of Law: The parties agree that the interpretation, instruction and enforcement of this contract shall be governed by the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
27. Disputes and Arbitration Agreement: The Company and Licensee mutually agree that any controversy or claim
arising out of or relating to any aspect of the Licensee’s relationship with the Company, the Licensors, or their respective officers, employees, agents, Landlords, other Licensees or property manager, whether directly related to this agreement
or not, and whether arising before or after the date of this agreement, which could have been brought in a court of law (“Covered Disputes”), shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”), and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Covered Disputes include all claims, rights, demands, losses, and causes of action rising: in contract, whether
express or implied; or in tort; or under any common law theories; or under any covenants of good faith and fair dealing; or under any Company policy; or under any federal, state, or municipal statute, executive order, regulation or ordinance. This
arbitration agreement shall not prohibit actions solely seeking injunctive relief necessary to protect either party’s rights. With the exception of actions set forth above, arbitration shall be the exclusive means through which the Parties may
seek relief in connection with any Covered Disputes. The Parties expressly waive their right to a trial by judge or by jury of any Covered Dispute, as well as their right to appeal the decision rendered by the arbitrator except on the grounds that
the decision was procured by corruption, fraud or other undue influence or on the grounds specifically set forth in a statute applicable to vacating an arbitration award under this arbitration agreement. Licensee agrees that if Licensee wishes to
assert a claim against the Company or the Licensors, the Licensee must present to the Company a written request for arbitration within 6 months of the date on which the Licensee knows or should have known of the Covered Dispute against the Company
or the Licensors. Likewise, the Company must present a written request for arbitration to the Licensee against whom it wishes to assert a claim within the same time frame. Failure by either the Licensee or the Company to present such a request
within this time shall constitute a waiver of the right to recover relief in any forum in connection with the Covered Dispute. Unless otherwise agreed to by Licensee and Company, the arbitration shall take place in AAA’s office closest to the
Company’s headquarters. The Parties shall select a single arbitrator in accordance with applicable AAA real estate arbitration rules. The party bringing the dispute to arbitration shall cover all
costs of the arbitration until such time as the arbiter may choose to allocate costs differently. The Parties
are entitled to discovery sufficient to adequately arbitrate their Covered Disputes, including, but not limited to, access to essential documents and witnesses, as determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall apply the law designated in this
agreement. The arbitrator shall have the discretion to award monetary and other damages, or to award no damages, and to fashion any other relief that would otherwise be available in court. The arbitrator will issue a written arbitration decision
that reveals the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
28. Nature of Agreements: The parties agree that any oral discussion regarding modifying this Agreement shall be deemed by both parties to be
exploratory in nature, and shall be binding on the parties only when reduced to writing and acknowledged in writing by both parties as agreed. This shall be the case even if one or both parties begin to operate on the basis of an oral discussion as
though such discussion represented a definitive agreement. “In writing” shall include agreements reached by email, wherein stored electronic copies of emails shall be considered adequate evidence of said agreement. Failure of either party
to enforce any provision of this agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that term of the agreement, and such provision may be enforced later, at any time, without prejudice.

| CIC & Impact Hub Boston Service Agreement - Version 6.o.8 |
|
Page 11 of 12 |
As you know, your Service Agreement (Section 11) requires that you carry commercial general liability insurance. There are
circumstances in which, for one reason or another, these requirements have not been met, and yet a client continues to wish to use the Company’s services. As a convenience to our clients, we have created a client insurance waiver process to
enable clients to use our facility and services during periods when the required insurance is not in place. To be clear, we strongly recommend and prefer that clients obtain the insurance rather than employ this waiver. So long as this waiver
agreement is in force, clients are permitted to not meet the requirements in Section 11. Should this waiver agreement lapse for any reason, then the requirements of Section 11 shall once again be in force. In the below agreement,
“I”, “me’’ and “my” refer to the entity which the undersigned represents.
WAIVER AGREEMENT
1. The Service Agreement I have entered into includes a concept of a “waiver of subrogation” (Service Agreement Section 14) and the concept of
“indemnification and waiver of rights to recovery” (Service Agreement Section 13).
2. I understand that the “waiver of
subrogation” means, in essence, that I bear the cost of my own losses, regardless of who caused those losses. This agreement benefits me by reducing the cost of the services I can buy, by eliminating the need for the Company to quantify and
insure against all the possible losses that I might sustain.
3. I understand that when real estate agreements are structured this way, generally I am
required to carry my own insurance. This is because without such insurance, there is no one else for me to turn to in the event of a loss. For example, if there was a catastrophic failure of the ventilation system at CIC, and the building suddenly
became unusable, I might sustain losses because of the unexpected loss of my workplace. Regardless of who might be responsible for that failure. I would be responsible for covering my losses. And I understand this applies to all other situations of
loss, such as via fire, theft, injury, and so forth.
4. Another important reason that it is advisable for me to carry insurance is that I have
indemnified the Company (Service Agreement Section 13), its associated parties, and other Company clients against losses that they may incur due to my action or inaction. I understand that “indemnification” in this case means that,
for instance, if I cause a fire at the Company’s facility, and others are hurt. I will make up for their losses. Generally, liability insurance would help me meet that obligation.
5. Given all this, I understand why this Service Agreement requires me to have insurance, and why it is very advisable that I have it.
6. The aforementioned notwithstanding, I have decided not to carry such insurance, and I accept the potential consequences.
7. I understand that the Company’s exposure to the risk that I will not be able cover my indemnification will rise as a result of my decision, because
the Company will not be afforded the same protection it would have if I had insurance.
8. I agree that neither I nor my entity will assert that by
offering me this waiver, the Company or any of its associated parties are providing me with any kind of substitute insurance.
9. I understand that this
waiver in no way releases me from any obligation to indemnify all parties named in Exhibit A of this agreement, as well as other Landlord related parties and other CIC and Impact Hub Boston clients against losses caused by me.
10. I understand if my status as a Flex or C3 or Impact Hub Boston client changes, and I become a client of another type of office space at CIC, this waiver
shall no longer be valid, and I will need to abide by the terms of CIC’s services agreement pertaining to insurance.
