WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant further agree to amend, modify and/or supplement other provisions of the Lease, all as set forth herein on the following terms and conditions.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree, as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, as follows:

1. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals set forth above are true and correct, incorporated herein and made a part of this Sixth Amendment as if set forth herein in full.

2. Capitalized Terms and Conflicts. All capitalized terms used in this Sixth Amendment that are not defined in this Sixth Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Lease. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Lease and the terms of this Sixth Amendment, the definitions set forth in this Sixth Amendment shall supersede and control.

3. Partial Early Termination. (a) The Surrender Premises (hereinafter defined) is removed from the Premises as of September 30, 2025 (the “Surrender Premises Termination Date”), and on or before the Surrender Premises Termination Date, Tenant will vacate and surrender possession of the Surrender Premises (as hereinafter defined) to Landlord in the condition required under the Lease, including without limitation as provided in Section 25 thereof; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to remove any (i) Cable (as defined in Section 9.01 of the Office Lease Agreement) installed by or for the benefit of Tenant, and (ii) Required Removables (as defined in Section 8 of the Office Lease Agreement), and (iii) Initial Alterations (including, without limitation, all of the items listed on Exhibit L of the Office Lease Agreement). Any failure by Tenant to so vacate the Surrender Premises (or any portion thereof) will be deemed a holding over. From and after the Surrender Premises Termination Date, the term “Premises” shall be amended to mean only the Remainder Premises.

(b) The “Surrender Premises” shall mean all of the Existing Premises other than the Remainder Premises.

4. Extension of Term. With respect to the Remainder Premises only, the Term of the Lease is hereby extended for an additional period of five (5) years the “Sixth Amendment Extension Term” commencing on October 1, 2025 and ending on September 30, 2030, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Lease.

5. Base Rent. (a) For the period from the Sixth Amendment Effective Date through and including the Surrender Premises Termination Date, Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent with respect to the Premises (i.e., both the Surrender Premises and the Remainder Premises) at the rates set forth in, and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the Lease.

(b) During the Sixth Amendment Extension Term, Tenant shall pay Base Rent with respect to the Premises (i.e., the Remainder Premises) in accordance with the schedule below but otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease:

6. Tenant's Pro Rata Share. Effective as of the commencement of the Sixth Amendment Extension Term, Tenant's Pro Rata Share with respect to the Premises (i.e., the Remainder Premises) shall be 21.62%.

7. Base Year Expenses and Taxes. (a) For the period from the Sixth Amendment Effective Date through and including the Surrender Premises Termination Date, Tenant shall continue to pay its Pro Rata Share of increases to Expenses and Taxes in accordance with the terms of the Lease.

(b) During the Sixth Amendment Extension Term, Tenant shall continue to pay its Pro Rata Share of increases to Expenses and Taxes in accordance with the terms of the Lease; provided, however, that (i) Base Year for Expenses shall be the period commencing on January 1, 2026 and ending on December 31, 2026 and (ii) Base Year for Taxes shall be the twelve-month period commencing on July 1, 2025 and ending on June 30, 2026.

8. Condition of Premises. (a) Tenant acknowledges that Tenant is in possession of the Existing Premises (i.e., both the Surrender Premises and the Remainder Premises) and accepts the same in its present condition “AS-IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” and without any obligation on the part of Landlord to refurbish the Existing Premises, and without any representation by Landlord to Tenant as to the condition of the Existing Premises or the Building, and Tenant is satisfied with the condition of the Existing Premises as it relates to the suitability of the Existing Premises for Tenant's purposes. Nothing contained herein shall in any way diminish or affect Landlord’s on-going repair, maintenance and/or replacement obligations under Section 9.02 of the Lease or Landlord’s service obligations under Section 7 of the Lease.

(b) Landlord shall have construction plans (the “Plans”) prepared, which shall be consistent with the Remainder Premises Plan, for the work (“Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Demising Work”) necessary to separately demise the Remainder Premises. The Plans shall be submitted to Tenant for its approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Failure by Tenant to disapprove any submission or resubmission of the Plans within five (5) business days after submission, or within three (3) business days after any resubmission, shall constitute approval thereof. Tenant will not disapprove any aspect of the Plans that are consistent with the Remainder Premises Plan. Any disapproval by Tenant shall be in writing and accompanied by a detailed statement of reasons therefor. Promptly after approval of the Plans (and execution of a work letter if requested by Landlord), Landlord shall apply for necessary permits and approvals and, upon

receipt thereof, Landlord will commence Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Demising Work. Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to promptly upon the commencement of the Sixth Amendment Extension Term commence, and thereafter to diligently pursue the substantial completion of, Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Demising Work; provided, however, that Tenant recognizes that such substantial completion will be delayed for any delays caused by reasons beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (including, without limitation, any delays caused by Tenant’s actions or omissions); and further provided that Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with, and promptly respond to, Landlord as reasonably requested in connection with Landlord’s performance of Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Demising Work. Landlord shall complete Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Demising Work at Landlord’s sole cost and expense using building standard materials. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to Tenant in undertaking the Sixth Amendment Demising Work and shall provide advance notice to Tenant as to any Sixth Amendment Demising Work that is reasonably likely to disrupt Tenant’s use of the Existing Premises. Upon commencing the Sixth Amendment Demising Work, Landlord shall continuously and expeditiously complete such work to further minimize disruption to Tenant.

(c) Landlord acknowledges that Tenant may desire, from and after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, to perform certain alterations and/or improvements in the Surrender Premises (the “Sixth Amendment Tenant Work”), and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that except for Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Allowance (as hereinafter defined), Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of any Sixth Amendment Tenant Work (it being understood that all such Sixth Amendment Tenant Work shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease). All Sixth Amendment Tenant Work shall be undertaken by Tenant in strict accordance with this Lease, including without limitation Section 9.03 thereof, and in accordance with plans and specifications approved in advance by Landlord. Landlord’s review and approval of any plan or specification submitted by or on behalf of Tenant is for the benefit and protection of Landlord alone, and does not indicate that such materials are properly prepared, or that the improvements and other matters reflected thereon are in compliance with applicable legal and other requirements or that the improvements and other matters reflected thereon are sufficient to meet Tenant’s needs or objectives. In connection with the construction of the Sixth Amendment Tenant Work, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant an amount equal to the lesser of (x) Tenant’s actual Costs of Construction (as hereinafter defined), or (y) Two Million Two Hundred Nineteen Thousand Five Hundred Twenty and 00/100 Dollars ($2,219,520.00) (such amount of $2,219,520, the “Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Allowance”) (i.e., $42.50/rentable square feet of the Remainder Premises). As used herein, the phrase “Costs of Construction” means all costs and expenses incurred in connection with design and construction of the Sixth Amendment Tenant Work, including, without limitation, space planning, architectural and engineering fees and expenses for preparation of the construction documents and any approved changes thereto; permit and inspection fees; amounts paid to contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers; premiums for insurance and bonds, costs of utilities, equipment rental, labor, materials and supplies, and sales taxes thereon; any construction management fees; and Tenant’s furniture. Tenant’s requests for disbursements of the Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Allowance shall be made prior to the date that is the one-year anniversary of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, and Landlord shall not be required to disburse such funds if there then exists a Default of Tenant under the Lease, or any event or circumstance which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a Monetary Default of Tenant. Notwithstanding and in addition to the foregoing, commencing on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date or any time thereafter, Tenant shall be entitled to direct Landlord to credit any existing

Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Allowance balance against Base Rent by direction to Landlord, such credit to be as to the monthly Base Rent next coming due and each month thereafter until such time as there is no remaining balance as to the Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Allowance so long as at such time there then exists no Default of Tenant under the Lease, nor any event or circumstance which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a Default of Tenant. To the extent that, on the date that is the one-year anniversary of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, there remains any balance as to the Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Allowance, Landlord shall credit such existing balance against the monthly Base Rent next coming due and each month thereafter until such time as there is no remaining balance as to the Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Allowance so long as at such time there then exists no Default of Tenant under the Lease, nor any event or circumstance which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a Default of Tenant.

(d) Prior to commencing the Sixth Amendment Tenant Work, Tenant will deliver to Landlord a copy of Tenant’s design and construction contracts evidencing the total cost of the Sixth Amendment Tenant Work. If the total cost exceeds the Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Allowance, Tenant shall be responsible for the excess, and the percentage of the total cost represented by the excess shall be “Tenant’s Share.” The percentage of the total cost represented by the Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Allowance shall be “Landlord’s Share.” Tenant may make request for advances on account of the Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Allowance not more often than monthly, and each requisition shall be signed by Tenant’s architect and contractor and shall be accompanied by lien waivers and evidence that Tenant’s Share of the amount requisitioned has been paid. Provided that, at the time of each such advance, there then exists no Default of Tenant under the Lease, nor any event or circumstance which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a Default of Tenant, Landlord shall make periodic advances from the Landlord’s Sixth Amendment Allowance to Tenant equal to Landlord’s Share of the amount of any requisitions from Tenant, provided that Landlord may withhold from each advance retainage of ten percent (10%) of the amount requested, which retainage will be advanced when the Sixth Amendment Tenant Work is fully complete and Tenant has provided Landlord with a permanent certificate of use and occupancy and with final lien waivers and receipted invoices from Tenant’s contractors, all in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, covering all of the Sixth Amendment Tenant Work and evidencing showing the actual cost thereof. Landlord will advance such funds within thirty (30) days after receipt from Tenant of a signed requisition therefor, together with any necessary certifications or back-up information.

9. Extension Option. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that Tenant shall have and/or retain the right to extend the Sixth Amendment Extension Term for the Remainder Premises for one (1) additional period of five (5) years accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1 (Extension Option) of Exhibit F of the Lease.

10. Right of First Offer. As of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, (i) Section 6 (Right of First Offer) of the First Amendment, and (ii) Section 15 (Right of First Offer) of the Third Amendment, are all deleted in their entirety and Tenant shall have no further right of first offer under the Lease.

14. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant to the other that except for CBRE and Newmark (collectively, the “Brokers”) they have not made any agreement or taken any action which may cause any other party to become entitled to a commission as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Sixth Amendment. Furthermore, each party will indemnify and defend the other from any and all claims, actual or threatened, for compensation by any other such third person by reason of such party's breach of their representation or warranty contained in this Section. Landlord will pay any commission due to the Brokers pursuant to its separate agreement with the Brokers.

15. Tenant’s Representations.
