The Subleased Premises are more particularly described on Exhibit B attached hereto. The size of the Subleased Premises shall not be subject to remeasurement except to the extent of a remeasurement of the Premises pursuant to Section 1.3 of the Master Lease. 3. Term: A. Term. The term (the “Term”) of this Sublease shall be for the period commencing on the later of (i) Delivery of Possession (as hereinafter defined) of the Subleased Premises to Sublessee, and (ii) December 1, 2023 (the “Commencement Date”) and ending on April 30, 2030 (the “Expiration Date”), unless this Sublease is sooner terminated pursuant to its terms or the Master Lease sooner expires pursuant to its terms. Sublessor anticipates that Delivery of Possession of the Subleased Premises to Sublessee shall occur on December 1, 2023. Delivery of Possession shall occur upon the last of the following to occur: (i) Sublessor has delivered a fully executed Master Xxxxxx’s consent, in form reasonably acceptable to Sublessee (provided the form shall be deemed reasonably acceptable to Sublessee if Sublessee signs it); (ii) Sublessor has vacated the Subleased Premises, delivered possession of the Subleased Premises to Sublessee with Sublessor’s Work (as defined in Paragraph 7) completed and otherwise in the condition required in this Sublease; (iii) Sublessor has provided Sublessee keys or other means of access; and (iv) Sublessor has provided Sublessor early entry as set forth in Paragraph 3.B below. In furtherance of the foregoing, in the event that Sublessor has not so provided the early access set forth in Paragraph 3.B below, Delivery of Possession and the Term of this Lease shall occur only after the expiration of the six (6) week early access period, as set forth below. If Delivery of Possession does not occur by December 1, 2023 for any reason other than Force Majeure or delays by Sublessee, the Term of this Sublease shall not commence and Sublessee shall be entitled to two (2) days of abatement of Base Rent commencing on the Commencement Date for each day of delay thereafter, and if such failure continues beyond March 1, 2024, then Sublessee shall be entitled to terminate this Sublease by delivering written notice thereof to Sublessor on or before the date that Delivery of Possession has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sublessor has not obtained Master Lessor’s consent to this Sublease within forty-five (45) days of the date hereof, Sublessee shall have the right to terminate this Sublease as provided in Paragraph 22 below.

If Sublessee fails to notify Sublessor of any defects during such period (or Sublessor remedies all defects identified by Sublessee), the Subleased Premises and the FF&E shall be deemed to be in the required condition, except with respect to latent defects, and the delivery condition for purposes of establishing the Commencement Date shall be satisfied. 4.

Sublessee shall also pay to Sublessor any gross receipts or rent tax payable with respect to this Sublease and all additional costs directly incurred at the specific request of Sublessee with respect to its use of the Subleased Premises. All the above stated amounts shall be deemed additional rent (“Additional Rent”).

Sublessee hereby waives the provisions of any law, now or hereafter in force, including, without limitation, California Civil Code Section 1950.7, that provides that Sublessor may claim from a security
-4- 4855-3141-1533.2 - 2/27/2023 3:13:45 PM deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of Rent, to repair damage caused by Sublessee, or to clean the Subleased Premises, it being agreed that Sublessor, in addition, may claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Sublessor for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the act or omission of Sublessee, including future rent damages following the termination of this Sublease. If Sublessor so uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, then Sublessee, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, shall deposit cash with Sublessor in the amount required to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount stated above. Upon the expiration of this Sublease, Sublessor shall return to Sublessee so much of the Security Deposit as has not been applied by Sublessor pursuant to this paragraph, or which is not otherwise required to cure Sublessee’s defaults.

The Letter of Credit must be issued by a domestic bank reasonably acceptable to Sublessor whose deposits are insured by the FDIC. If the Letter of Credit is lost, mutilated, stolen, or destroyed, Sublessee shall cooperate, at no cost to Sublessee, with Sublessor to have the Letter of Credit replaced or reissued. The Letter of Credit shall be renewed so that it will remain effective through the date that is sixty (60) days following the expiration of this Sublease and the delivery of possession of the Subleased Premises to Sublessor in accordance with the provisions of this Sublease. In addition to the L-C Draw Events in Section 20.1 of the Master Lease, if Sublessee defaults with respect to any provision of this Sublease, including, without limitation the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, Sublessor may, but shall not be required to, after any applicable notice and opportunity to Sublessee to cure provided under this Sublease (unless Sublessor is then barred by applicable law from sending a notice to Sublessee with respect thereto), draw upon all or any part of the Letter of Credit. The original of the Letter of Credit shall be returned to Sublessee within sixty (60) days of the later of (a) the termination or earlier expiration of the Sublease Term and (b) Sublessee’s delivery of possession of the Subleased Premises to Sublessor. The Letter of Credit shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Sublessor may be entitled.
