WHEREAS, Licensor and Licensee desire to amend the License Agreement in certain respects as set forth herein; and,

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree that the License Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
1.Licensed Premises. Effective April 15, 2023 (“Second Expanded Premises Commencement Date”)1 the License Agreement is hereby amended by (i) adding the attached Exhibit 1-D to the existing Exhibit 1, Exhibit 1-A, Exhibit 1-B, and Exhibit 1-C and (ii) adding the following sentence to the end of Section 1(a):
The License shall be expanded to include Scaling Suite Lab D and Office M, as shown on the blue shaded portion of the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit 1-C of this Tenth Amendment (“Second Expanded Premises”), as part of the Licensed Premises. For the avoidance of doubt, Exhibit 1, Exhibit 1-A, Exhibit 1-B, and Exhibit 1-C of the License Agreement shall remain applicable, and the attached Exhibit 1-D shall be inserted immediately thereafter.
2.Occupants. Section 1(c) of the License Agreement is hereby modified by adding the following new sentence to the end of the Section:
1 Under no circumstance shall Licensor be liable to Licensee for failure to provide access to the Second Expanded Premises on or before the Second Expanded Premises Commencement Date; provided, however, that if Licensor is unable to provide Licensee access to the Second Expanded Premises on or before the Second Expanded Premised Commencement Date, the Second Expanded Premised Commencement Date shall be extended by the number of days Licensor is unable to provide access to the Second Expanded Premises.

Effective the Second Expanded Premises Commencement Date, Occupants shall be defined as one hundred twenty-four (124) of Licensee’s members, employees or agents. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Written Approval for Additional Occupant form dated and signed March 29, 2023, is hereby voided as those approved Additional Occupants are now included within the Occupants as defined in this Tenth Amendment.

The Second Expanded Premises Fee shall be subject to a four percent (4%) increase upon each anniversary of the Second Expanded Premises Commencement Date, as shown on Schedule A attached hereto. Except as expressly stated otherwise herein, the Second Expanded Premises Fee shall be subject to all the same terms and conditions as the License Fee.
4.Security Deposit. Section 3(c) of the License Agreement is hereby modified by adding the following new sentence to the end of the Section:

As such, Licensee shall pay a total of $480,480.00, on or before the execution of this Tenth Amendment.
6.Parking. Section 6 of the License Agreement is hereby modified by adding the following new sentence to the end of the Section:
Effective the Second Expanded Premises Commencement Date, Licensee’s Parking Spaces shall be defined as eighteen (18).
7.Broker. Licensee warrants and represents that Licensee has dealt with no broker in connection with the consummation of this Tenth Amendment, and, in the event of any brokerage claims asserted against Licensor predicated upon prior dealings with Licensee, Licensee agrees to defend the same and indemnify Licensor against any such claim.
8.Ratification. Except as expressly amended hereby, all terms and conditions of the License Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

9.Counterparts. This Tenth Amendment to License Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.
