6. In the event Landlord invokes Landlord’s Early Termination Right, Tenant’s restoration obligations under the Lease shall be limited to the scope of work set forth in Exhibit B hereof. In such event, Landlord and Tenant hereby understand and agree that Zymergen shall be solely responsible for performing the work set forth in Exhibit B, and Tenant shall have no responsibility to perform the Exhibit B work nor shall have any liability for the character, quality nor completion of the work to be done by Zymergen. In the event Landlord does not invoke Landlord’s Early Termination Right, Tenant’s restoration obligations shall remain as set forth in the Existing Lease and shall not be altered by the terms of this Ninth Amendment.

7. Tenant represents and warrants that it has represented itself in the above transaction and that no brokerage commission will be due and payable by Landlord as a result hereof.

Except for those terms outlined above, all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply. Except as modified hereby, the Lease is ratified and confirmed in its entirety by the parties hereto.

In witness hereof, the parties have executed this Ninth Amendment as of the date noted below.
