RECITALS

A.WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Lease dated as of November 5, 2019 (as the same may have been amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Existing Lease”), whereby Tenant leases certain premises (the “Premises”) from Landlord at 301 Binney Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts (the “Building”);
B.WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to extend the Term of the Existing Lease;

and

C.WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to modify and amend the Existing Lease

only in the respects and on the conditions hereinafter stated.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Tenant, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.Definitions. For purposes of this Amendment, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Existing Lease unless otherwise defined herein. The Existing Lease, as amended by this Amendment, is referred to collectively herein as the Lease.” From and after the date hereof, the term “Lease,” as used in the Existing Lease, shall mean the Existing Lease, as amended by this Amendment.
2.First Extension Term; Term Expiration Date. The Term is hereby extended for two

(2) years and thirteen (13) days commencing on August 19, 2025 (the “First Extension Term Commencement Date”). The Term Expiration Date is hereby amended to be August 31, 2027. The period of time from the First Extension Term Commencement Date through the new Term Expiration Date shall be referred to herein as the “First Extension Term.” The term “Term” as used in the Lease shall refer to the Term under the Existing Lease as extended by the First Extension Term.

3.Option. The parties acknowledge and agree that that extension of the Lease pursuant to this Amendment does not constitute the exercise of the extension Option under Section 42 of the Existing Lease. The parties further agree to amend the “Option,” as defined in Section 42 of the Existing Lease as follows:

BioMed Realty form dated 10/04/23


a.The first paragraph of Section 42 of the Existing Lease shall be amended by deleting the words “two (2) years” and replacing them with “five (5) years”.
b.The first sentence of Section 42.1 of the Existing Lease shall be amended by deleting the words “the greater of (a) one hundred three percent (103%) of the then- current Base Rent, and (b)” and by deleting the words “the greater of: (i) three percent (3%) or (ii)”.
c.The first sentence of Section 42.3 of the Existing Lease shall be amended by deleting the words “fifteen (15) months” and replacing them with “twelve (12) months”.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Option (as amended by this Section 3) shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 42 of the Existing Lease.
