Item

1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On

July 10, 2026, Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a lease agreement (the “New Lease”)

with BP3-SD4 5580 Morehouse Drive LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “New Landlord”), pursuant to which

the Company will lease approximately 9,038 rentable square feet of office and laboratory space located in Suite 120 at 5580 Morehouse

Drive, San Diego, California 92121 (the “New Premises”). The New Landlord is an affiliate of 4475 Executive Drive

LLC, the landlord under the Company’s existing lease described in Item 1.02 below.

The

Company estimates it will save approximately $1.1 million per year in rent and facility-related expenses by terminating the existing

lease and entering into the New Lease.

The

New Lease has an initial term of 44 months, scheduled to commence on October 1, 2026 and expire on May 31, 2030, subject to the terms

of the New Lease and the tenant work letter attached thereto. The Company has one option to extend the term of the New Lease for an additional

three years at the then-prevailing fair market rental rate, subject to the conditions set forth in the New Lease, including that the

Company has not previously been in default under the New Lease and occupies at least 50% of the New Premises at the time of exercise.

Within

10 calendar days following execution of the New Lease, the Company is required to deliver an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount

of $113,574.78. The letter of credit must generally remain in effect until at least 120 days following the expiration of the New Lease

and may be drawn by the New Landlord following certain customary events specified in the New Lease. The New Lease contains customary

events of default and remedies.

The

foregoing description of the New Lease does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text

of the New Lease, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item

1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On

July 10, 2026, the Company entered into a Lease Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with 4475 Executive

Drive LLC (the “Prior Landlord”) with respect to that certain lease dated October 10, 2022, as modified by a Confirmation

of Lease Terms dated February 28, 2023 (collectively, the “Prior Lease”). The Prior Lease relates to office and laboratory

space located on the second floor of 4475 Executive Drive, San Diego, California 92121 (the “Existing Premises”),

and was previously scheduled to expire in February 2027. The Prior Landlord is an affiliate of the New Landlord described in Item 1.01

above.

The

Termination Agreement provides that the Prior Lease will terminate effective September 30, 2026 (the “Termination Date”).

The effectiveness of the Termination Agreement was conditioned upon the Company and the New Landlord entering into the New Lease described

in Item 1.01 above, which condition was satisfied concurrently with the execution of the Termination Agreement.

If

substantial completion of the New Premises has not occurred by September 30, 2026, the Company may remain in the Existing Premises for

up to 14 days following substantial completion of the New Premises. In that event, the Termination Date will be the date during such

14-day period on which the Company surrenders the Existing Premises to the Prior Landlord. If the Company fails to timely vacate and

surrender the Existing Premises, the holdover provisions of the Prior Lease will apply. The Termination Agreement does not provide for

the payment of an early termination fee to the Prior Landlord. Provisions of the Prior Lease that expressly survive its expiration or

earlier termination will remain in effect.

The

foregoing description of the Termination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the

full text of the Termination Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated

herein by reference.

Item

2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

The initial monthly installment of Base Rent amount was calculated by multiplying the initial monthly Base Rent per rentable square foot

amount by the number of rentable square feet of space in the Premises, and the Annual Base Rent amount was calculated by multiplying

the initial monthly installment of Base Rent amount by twelve (12). In all subsequent Base Rent payment periods during the Lease Term

commencing on the first (1st) day of the full calendar month that is Lease month 13, the calculation of each monthly installment of Base

Rent amount reflects an annual increase of three percent (3.0%) and each Annual Base Rent amount was calculated by multiplying the corresponding

monthly installment of Base Rent amount by twelve (12).

“A

Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the

applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the

subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the

subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties

shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection,

and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.”

1.3

figure shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant for the entire Lease Term and any renewal terms absent a casualty or condemnation that

square feet of the Premises and the Building shall be calculated by Landlord using a commercially reasonable measurement method that

is substantially consistent with then -industry custom and practice.

shall pay, without notice or demand, to Landlord at the address set forth in Section 3 of the Summary, or at such other place as Landlord

may from time to time designate in writing, in currency or a check for currency which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for private

or public debts in the United States of America, base rent (“Base Rent”) as set forth in Section 8 of the Summary,

payable in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 8 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every

month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever. If any rental payment date (including the Lease Commencement

Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day of such month, or if any rental payment is for a period which is shorter than

one month, then the rental for any such fractional month shall be a proportionate amount of a full calendar month’s rental based

on the proportion that the number of days in such fractional month bears to the number of days in the calendar month during which such

fractional month occurs. All other payments or adjustments required to be made under the terms of this Lease that require proration on

a time basis shall be prorated on the same basis.

and/or the Project or the cost of replacing light bulbs, lamps, starters and ballasts for lighting fixtures in the Premises and the premises

of other tenants in the Building and/or the Project to the extent such services are directly provided and paid for by Tenant pursuant

law or regulation that exists as of the Lease Commencement Date), or (III) which are Conservation Costs (as defined below) and/or which

are reasonably determined by Landlord to be in the best interests of the Project; provided, however, that if any such cost described

the useful life of such capital improvements as Landlord shall reasonably determine; and (xi) the costs and expenses of complying with,

or participating in, conservation, recycling, sustainability, energy efficiency, waste reduction or other programs or practices implemented

any of (x) the Building, (y) the Other Existing Buildings (but only during the period of time the same are included by Landlord within

the Project) and (z) any additional buildings are added to the Project pursuant to Section 1.1.3 above (but only during the period of

time after such additional buildings have been fully constructed and ready for occupancy and are included by Landlord within the Project)

are less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during all or a portion of any Expense Year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment

to the variable components of Operating Expenses for such year or applicable portion thereof, employing sound accounting and management

principles, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been paid had the Building, such Other Existing Buildings and

such additional buildings (if any) been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied; and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been

the amount of Operating Expenses for such year, or applicable portion thereof.

tenants of the Project and/or among different buildings of the Project as and when such different buildings are constructed and added

to (and/or excluded from) the Project or otherwise (the “Cost Pools”). Such Cost Pools may also include an allocation

of certain Operating Expenses (and/or Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs) within or under covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting

right of eminent domain, whether such taking be total or partial, to the extent that Landlord is compensated by such governmental authority

for such repairs, restoration, replacements or other work, (iii) the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, or any representative,

employee or agent of Landlord (including the costs of any deductibles paid by Landlord on account of such negligence or misconduct),

(iv) the act of any other tenant in the Building, or any other tenant’s agents, employees, licensees or invitees; (K) costs incurred

(less costs of recovery) for any items to the extent such amounts are, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, recoverable by Landlord

under a manufacturer’s, materialman’s, vendor’s or contractor’s warranty; (L) the wages and benefits of any employee

who does not devote substantially all of his or her employed time to the Building, unless such wages and benefits are prorated to reflect

time spent on operating and managing the Building vis-à-vis time spent on matters unrelated to operating and managing the Building;

provided that in no event shall Operating Expenses include wages and/or benefits attributable to personnel above the level of Building

or asset manager; (M) costs in connection with the removal and abatement of asbestos; (N) charitable or political contributions; (O)

any cost or expense related to the testing for, removal, transportation or storage of Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined) from

the cost of goods and services, to the extent that such costs are in excess of the reasonably competitive cost thereof, taking into consideration

all relevant factors such as the quality and availability of such goods and services; and (V) capital reserves for repairs, maintenance

and replacements. Operating Expenses shall be determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently

applied from one year to the next. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Operating Expenses attributable to a period which

falls only partially within the Term shall be prorated so that Tenant shall pay only that portion thereof which the part of such period

within the Term bears to the entire period.

4.2.4

“Systems and Equipment” shall mean any plant (including any central plant), machinery, transformers, duct work, cable,

wires, and other equipment, facilities, and systems designed to supply heat, ventilation, air conditioning and humidity or any other

services or utilities, or comprising or serving as any component or portion of the electrical, gas, steam, plumbing, sprinkler, communications,

alarm, lab, security, or fire/life safety systems or equipment, or any other mechanical, electrical, electronic, computer or other systems

or equipment which serve the Building and/or any other building in the Project in whole or in part.

4.2.5

“Tax Expenses” shall mean all federal, state, county, or local governmental or municipal taxes, fees, assessments,

charges or other impositions of every kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary (including, without limitation,

real estate taxes, general and special assessments, transit assessments, fees and taxes, child care subsidies, fees and/or assessments,

job training subsidies, fees and/or assessments, open space fees and/or assessments, housing subsidies and/or housing fund fees or assessments,

applicable to the receipt of rent, personal property taxes imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and equipment,

appurtenances, furniture and other personal property used in connection with the Project), which Landlord shall pay during any Expense

Year because of or in connection with the ownership, leasing and operation of the Project or Landlord’s interest therein. For purposes

of this Lease, Tax Expenses shall be calculated as if (i) the tenant improvements in the Building, the Other Existing Buildings and any

additional buildings added to the Project pursuant to Section 1.1.3 above (but only during the period of time that such Other Existing

Buildings and additional buildings are included by Landlord within the Project) were fully constructed, and (ii) the Project, the Building,

such Other Existing Buildings and such additional buildings (if any) and all tenant improvements therein were fully assessed for real

estate tax purposes.

4.2.5.1

Tax Expenses shall include, without limitation:

(i)

Any tax on Landlord’s rent, right to rent or other income from the Project;

(ii)

Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy

or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition

13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election (“Proposition 13”) and that assessments,

taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road

maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It

is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and charges and all similar

assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of Tax Expenses for purposes of this Lease;

(iii)

Any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the rent payable hereunder, including,

without limitation, any gross income tax upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration,

repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof;

(iv)

Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring

an interest or an estate in the Premises; and

(v)

Any reasonable third party expenses incurred by Landlord in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize Tax Expenses.

4.2.5.2

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2.5, there shall be excluded from Tax Expenses (i) all excess profits

taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state net income

taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord’s net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable

to operations at the Project), (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses, (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.4 below;

(iv) any environmental assessments, charges or liens arising in connection with the remediation of Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter

defined) from the Premises, Building or Project, the causation of which arose prior to the Lease Commencement Date, or to the extent

caused by Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors or any tenant of the Building (other than Tenant or its sublessees or assignees

or any other Tenant Party); and (v) reserves for future Tax Expenses. Additionally, interest and penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s

late payment shall not be included in the definition of Tax Expenses. If Landlord secures an abatement or refund of any Taxes, Tenant

shall receive its proportionate share of the amount of such abatement or refund (i.e., the net amount remaining after paying all reasonable

costs and expenses of securing the abatement or refund, including reasonable attorneys’ fees) as a credit to be applied by Landlord

against Rent next becoming due (or, if no further Rent is due from Tenant, by a cash payment by Landlord to Tenant).

4.2.6

“Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 9 of the Summary. Tenant’s Share was calculated

by dividing the number of rentable square feet of the Premises by the total rentable square feet in the Building (as set forth in Section

9 of the Summary), and stating such amount as a percentage. Subject to the terms of Section 1.3 above, Tenant’s Share as set forth

in Section 9 of the Summary shall be binding on the parties for the entire Term.

4.2.7

“Utilities Costs” shall mean all actual charges for utilities for the Building and the Project (including utilities

for the Other Existing Buildings and additional buildings, if any, added to the Project during the period of time the same are included

by Landlord within the Project) which Landlord shall pay during any Expense Year, including, but not limited to, the costs of water,

sewer, gas and electricity, and the costs of HVAC and other utilities, including any lab utilities and central plant utilities (but excluding

those charges for which tenants directly reimburse Landlord or otherwise pay directly to the utility company) as well as related fees,

assessments, measurement meters and devices and surcharges. Utilities Costs shall be calculated assuming the Building (and, during the

period of time when such buildings are included by Landlord within the Project, the Other Existing Buildings and any additional buildings,

if any, added to the Project) are at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied. Utilities Costs shall include any costs of utilities which

are allocated to the Project under any declaration, restrictive covenant, or other instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs by the

Project or any portion thereof, including any covenants, conditions or restrictions now or hereafter recorded against or affecting the

Project.

4.3

Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent.

4.3.1

Payment of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs. For each Expense Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term,

Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the following, which payment shall be made in the manner set forth in Section 4.3.2

below: (i) Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below; plus (ii) Tenant’s

Share of Tax Expenses allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below; plus (iii) Tenant’s Share of Utilities Costs allocated

to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below.

4.3.2

Statement of Actual Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs and Payment by Tenant. Landlord shall endeavor to give

to Tenant on or before the first (1st) day of June following the end of each Expense Year a statement (the “Statement”)

which shall state the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year that are

allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below, and which shall indicate therein Tenant’s Share thereof. Within thirty

(30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord

the full amount of the Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs for such Expense Year, less the amounts,

if any, paid during such Expense Year as the Estimated Expenses as defined in and pursuant to Section 4.3.3 below. If any Statement reflects

that Tenant has overpaid Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and/or Tenant’s Share of Tax Expenses and/or Tenant’s

Share of Utilities Costs for such Expense Year, then Landlord shall, at Landlord’s option, either (i) remit such overpayment to

Tenant within thirty (30) days after such applicable Statement is delivered to Tenant, or (ii) credit such overpayment toward the additional

Rent next due and payable to Tenant under this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall

not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated

the Premises, if the Statement for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates reflects that Tenant has overpaid and/or underpaid

Tenant’s Share of the Operating Expenses and/or Tenant’s Share of Tax Expenses and/or Tenant’s Share of Utilities Costs

for such Expense Year, then within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery of such Statement to Tenant, Landlord shall refund

to Tenant any such overpayment, or Tenant shall pay to Landlord any such underpayment, as the case may be. Tenant’s failure to

object to any Statement within ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt thereof shall constitute Tenant’s irrevocable waiver

to object to the same. The provisions of this Section 4.3.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

-7- Calidi Biotherapeutics

4.3.3

Statement of Estimated Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs. Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant a yearly expense

estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”), which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”)

of what the total amount of Tenant’s Share of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs allocated to the Building

pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below for the then-current Expense Year shall be, and which shall indicate therein Tenant’s Share thereof

(the “Estimated Expenses”). The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year

shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Expenses under this Article 4. Following Landlord’s

delivery of the Estimate Statement for the then-current Expense Year, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a

fraction of the Estimated Expenses for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this

Section 4.3.3). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year to the

month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished,

Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Expenses

set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

4.3.4

Allocation of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs to Building. The parties acknowledge that the Building is part

of a multi-building commercial project consisting of the Building, the Other Existing Buildings and such other buildings as Landlord

(and/or any other owners of the Project) may elect to construct and include as part of the Project from time to time (the Other Existing

Buildings and any such other buildings are sometimes referred to herein, collectively, as the “Other Buildings”),

and that certain of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project (i.e. the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses

and Utilities Costs) shall be shared among the Building and/or such Other Buildings, while certain other costs and expenses which are

solely attributable to the Building or such Other Buildings, as applicable, shall be allocated directly to the Building or the Other

Buildings, respectively. Accordingly, as set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above, Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs

are determined annually for the Project as a whole, and a portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs, which

portion shall be determined by Landlord on an equitable basis, shall be allocated to the Building (as opposed to the tenants of the Other

Buildings), and such portion so allocated shall be the amount of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs payable with respect

to the Building upon which Tenant’s Share shall be calculated. Such portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities

Costs allocated to the Building shall include all Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs which are attributable solely

to the Building, and an equitable portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs attributable to the Project as

a whole. As an example of such allocation with respect to Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs, it is anticipated that Landlord (and/or any

other owners of the Project) may receive separate tax bills which separately assess the improvements component of Tax Expenses for each

building in the Project, and/or Landlord may receive separate utilities bills from the utility companies identifying the Utilities Costs

for certain of the utilities costs directly incurred by each such building (as measured by separate meters installed for each such building),

and such separately assessed Tax Expenses and separately metered Utilities Costs shall be calculated for and allocated separately to

each such applicable building. In addition, in the event Landlord (and/or any other owners of the Project) elect to subdivide certain

common area portions of the Project such as landscaping, public and private streets, driveways, walkways, courtyards, plazas, transportation

facilitation areas and/or accessways into a separate parcel or parcels of land (and/or separately convey all or any of such parcels to

a common area association to own, operate and/or maintain same), the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs for such common

area parcels of land may be aggregated and then reasonably allocated by Landlord to the Building and such Other Buildings on an equitable

basis as Landlord (and/or any applicable covenants, conditions and restrictions for any such common area association) shall provide from

time to time.

4.4

Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all taxes or

assessments required to be paid by Landlord (except to the extent included in Tax Expenses by Landlord), excluding state, local and federal

personal or corporate income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources and estate and inheritance taxes, whether

or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto, when:

4.4.1

said taxes are measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other

personal property located in the Premises, or by the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for

Tenant, to the extent the cost or value of such leasehold improvements exceeds the cost or value of a building standard build-out as

reasonably determined by Landlord, regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be vested in Tenant or Landlord;

5580 MOREHOUSE DRIVE

-8- Calidi Biotherapeutics

4.4.2

said taxes are assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use

or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project; or

4.4.3

said taxes are assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate

in the Premises.

4.5

Late Charges. If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s

designee by the due date therefor, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount due plus

any reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due

hereunder, provided that Landlord will waive the imposition of the late charge for the first (1st) late payment of Rent in

any one (1) calendar year during the Lease Term so long as Tenant pays the same within five (5) days following notice of nonpayment.

The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent, and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights

and remedies hereunder, at law and/or in equity, and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies

in any manner. In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid by the date

that they are due shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the lesser of

(i) the “Prime Rate” or “Reference Rate” announced from time to time by the Bank of America (or such reasonable

comparable national banking institution as selected by Landlord in the event Bank of America ceases to exist or publish a Prime Rate

or Reference Rate), plus four percent (4%), or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.

4.6

Audit Rights. Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s cost, after reasonable notice to Landlord, to have Tenant’s

authorized employees or agents inspect, either electronically or at Landlord’s main corporate office during normal business hours,

Landlord’s books, records and supporting documents concerning the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs set forth

in any Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant for a particular Expense Year pursuant to Section 4.3.2 above; provided, however, Tenant

shall have no right to conduct such inspection or object to or otherwise dispute the amount of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and

Utilities Costs set forth in any such Statement, unless Tenant notifies Landlord of such inspection, objection and dispute within three

(3) months immediately following Landlord’s delivery of a Statement, and completes such inspection and objection within a further

ninety (90) days (the “Review Period”); provided, further, that notwithstanding any such timely inspection, objection,

dispute, and/or audit, and as a condition precedent to Tenant’s exercise of its right of inspection, objection, dispute, and/or

audit as set forth in this Section 4.6, Tenant shall not be permitted to withhold payment of, and Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord,

the full amounts as required by the provisions of this Article 4 in accordance with such Statement. However, such payment may be made

under protest pending the outcome of any audit. In connection with any such inspection by Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably

cooperate with each other so that such inspection can be performed pursuant to a mutually acceptable schedule, in an expeditious manner

and without undue interference with Landlord’s operation and management of the Project. If after such inspection and/or request

for documentation, Tenant disputes the amount of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses or Utilities Costs set forth in the Statement,

Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause an independent certified public accountant which is not paid on a contingency

basis and which is mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant (the “Accountant”) to complete an audit of Landlord’s

books and records to determine the proper amount of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs incurred and amounts payable

by Tenant for the Expense Year which is the subject of such Statement. Such audit by the Accountant shall be final and binding upon Landlord

and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree as to the identity of the Accountant within thirty (30) days after Tenant notifies

Landlord that Tenant desires an audit to be performed, then the Accountant shall be one of the “Big 4” accounting firms selected

by Landlord, which is not paid on a contingency basis and is not, and has not been, otherwise employed or retained by Landlord. If such

audit reveals that Landlord has over-charged Tenant, then within thirty (30) days after the results of such audit are made available

to Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse to Tenant the amount of such over-charge. If the audit reveals that the Tenant was under-charged,

then within thirty (30) days after the results of such audit are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord the amount

of such under-charge. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such audit unless it is subsequently determined that Landlord’s original

Statement which was the subject of such audit was in error to Tenant’s disadvantage by five percent (5%) or more of the total Operating

Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs which were the subject of the audit (in which case Landlord shall pay the cost of such audit).

The payment by Tenant of any amounts pursuant to this Article 4 shall not preclude Tenant from questioning the correctness of any Statement

provided by Landlord at any time during the Review Period, but the failure of Tenant to object thereto, and conduct and complete its

inspection shall be conclusively deemed Tenant’s approval of the Statement in question, and the amount of Operating Expenses, Tax

Expenses and Utilities Costs shown thereon. So long as Tenant completes its review and disputes the amount of the Operating Expenses,

Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs set forth in the Statement prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the completion of the audit

by the Accountant need not be completed during the Review Period but must be completed within six (6) months thereafter. In connection

with any inspection and/or audit conducted by Tenant pursuant to this Section 4.6, Tenant agrees to keep, and to cause all of Tenant’s

employees and consultants and the Accountant to keep, all of Landlord’s books and records and the audit, and all information pertaining

thereto and the results thereof, strictly confidential, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall cause such consultants and the Accountant

to execute such reasonable confidentiality agreements prior to conducting any such inspections and/or audits.

5.2.2

Tenant’s Obligations – Environmental Permits. Tenant will (i) obtain and maintain in full force and effect all Environmental

Permits that may be required from time to time under any Environmental Laws applicable to Tenant or the Premises and (ii) be and remain

in compliance with all terms and conditions of all such Environmental Permits and with all other limitations, restrictions, conditions,

standards, prohibitions, requirements, obligations, schedules and timetables contained in all Environmental Laws applicable to Tenant

or the Premises.

5.2.3

Tenant’s Obligations – Hazardous Materials. Except as expressly permitted herein, Tenant agrees not to cause or permit

any Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, stored, used, handled, generated, released or disposed of on, in, under or about the Premises,

or any other portion of the Property by Tenant or its agents, employees, subtenants, assignees, licensees, contractors or invitees (collectively,

“Tenant Parties”), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent, except as hereinafter set forth,

Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Section 5.2 to prohibit

Tenant from operating its business for the uses permitted hereunder. Tenant may operate its business according to the custom of Tenant’s

industry so long as the use or presence of Hazardous Materials is strictly and properly monitored in accordance with applicable Environmental

Laws. As a material inducement to Landlord to allow Tenant to use Hazardous Materials in connection with its business, Tenant agrees

to deliver to Landlord prior to the Lease Commencement Date a list identifying each type of Hazardous Material to be present at the Premises

and setting forth any and all governmental approvals or permits required in connection with the presence of such Hazardous Material at

the Premises (the “Hazardous Materials List”). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an updated Hazardous Materials List

on or prior to each annual anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, and shall also deliver an updated Hazardous Materials List before

any new Hazardous Materials are brought to the Premises. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord true and correct copies of the following documents

(hereinafter referred to as the “Documents”) relating to the handling, storage, disposal and emission of Hazardous

Materials prior to the Lease Commencement Date or, if unavailable at that time, concurrently with the receipt from or submission to any

Governmental Authority: permits; approvals; final reports; storage and management plans; notices of violations of applicable Environmental

Laws at the Premises; final plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in, on, under or about the Premises

(provided that installation of storage tanks underground or outside the Premises shall only be permitted after Landlord has given Tenant

its written consent to do so, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion); and all closure plans or any

other documents required by any and all governmental authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on, under or about the Premises

for the closure of any such storage tanks. For each type of Hazardous Material listed, the Documents shall include (t) the chemical name,

(u) the material state (e.g., solid, liquid, gas or cryogen), (v) the concentration, (w) the storage amount and storage condition (e.g.,

in cabinets or not in cabinets), (x) the use amount and use condition (e.g., open use or closed use), (y) the location (e.g., room number

or other identification) and (z) if known, the chemical abstract service number. Tenant shall not be required, however, to provide Landlord

with any portion of the Documents containing information of a proprietary nature, which Documents, in and of themselves, do not contain

a reference to any Hazardous Materials or activities related to Hazardous Materials. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this

Lease, Tenant agrees to promptly remove from the Premises, the Building and the Project, at its sole cost and expense, any and all Hazardous

Materials, including any equipment or systems containing Hazardous Materials which are installed, brought upon, stored, used, generated

or released upon, in, under or about the Premises, the Building and/or the Project or any portion thereof by Tenant or any Tenant Parties

during the Lease Term.

5.2.4

Landlord’s Right to Conduct Environmental Assessment. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord shall have the right,

at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, to conduct an environmental assessment of the Premises (as well as any other areas in, on

or about the Project that Landlord reasonably believes may have been affected adversely by Tenant’s use of the Premises (collectively,

the “Affected Areas”) in order to confirm that the Premises and the Affected Areas do not contain any Hazardous Materials

in violation of applicable Environmental Laws or under conditions constituting or likely to constitute a Release of Hazardous Materials.

Such environmental assessment shall be a so-called “Phase I” assessment or such other level of investigation which shall

be the standard of diligence in the purchase or lease of similar property at the time, together with, at Tenant’s sole cost and

expense, any additional investigation and report required by such initial Phase I assessment (including, but not limited to, any so-called

“Phase II” report). Such right to conduct such environmental assessment shall not be exercised more than once per calendar

year unless Tenant is in default under this Section 5.2. Such environmental assessments or inspections shall be subject to Article 22

and be at Landlord’s sole cost and expense unless it is discovered that Tenant has violated the terms of this Lease pertaining

to Hazardous Materials (in which case Tenant shall be responsible for such cost).

5.2.5

Tenant’s Obligations to perform Corrective Action. If the data from any environmental assessment authorized and undertaken

by Landlord pursuant to Section 5.2.4 indicates there has been a Release, threatened Release or other conditions with respect to Hazardous

Materials on, under or emanating from the Premises and the Affected Areas that was caused by Tenant or any Tenant Parties that may require

any investigation and/or active response action, including without limitation active or passive remediation and monitoring or any combination

of these activities (“Corrective Action”), Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of such environmental assessment

and shall immediately undertake Corrective Action with respect to contamination if, and to the extent, required by the governmental authority

exercising jurisdiction over the matter. Any Corrective Action performed by Tenant will be performed with Landlord’s prior written

approval and in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and by an environmental consulting

firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant may perform the Corrective Action before or after the expiration or earlier termination

of this Lease, to the extent permitted by governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the Premises, the Building and the Project (provided,

however, that any Corrective Action performed after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall be subject to the access

fee provisions set forth below). If Tenant undertakes or continues Corrective Action after the expiration or earlier termination of this

Lease, Landlord, upon being given forty-eight (48) hours’ advance notice, may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, elect (without

limiting any of Landlord’s other rights and remedies under this Lease, at law and/or in equity), to provide, at an “access

fee” equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Monthly Rent in effect for the last month immediately preceding the

expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, plus all other sums due under this Lease, access to the Premises, the Building and the

Project as may be requested by Tenant and its consultant to accomplish the Corrective Action. Tenant or its consultant may install, inspect,

maintain, replace and operate remediation equipment and conduct the Corrective Action as it considers necessary, subject to Landlord’s

approval. Tenant and Landlord shall, in good faith, cooperate with each other with respect to any Corrective Action after the expiration

or earlier termination of this Lease so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of Landlord’s or any third party’s

business on the Premises, the Building and the Project. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, provide access until Tenant delivers evidence

that Tenant’s Corrective Action activities on the Premises and the Affected Areas satisfy applicable Environmental Laws. It shall

be reasonable for Landlord to require Tenant to deliver a “no further action” letter or substantially similar document from

the applicable governmental agency. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, continue to provide access and Tenant shall continue to pay

the access fee until such time as Landlord is able to use the Premises and the Affected Areas for such purposes as Landlord reasonably

desires. Landlord’s “reasonableness” as used in the immediately preceding sentence shall be based on (i) the zoning

of the Premises as of the date in question, and (ii) the logical uses of the Premises as of the date in question. Tenant agrees to install,

at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, screening around its remediation equipment so as to protect the aesthetic appeal of the Premises,

the Building and the Project. Tenant also agrees to use reasonable efforts to locate its remediation and/or monitoring equipment, if

any (subject to the requirements of Tenant’s consultant and governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the Premises, the Building

and the Project) in a location which will allow Landlord, to the extent reasonably practicable, the ability to lease the Premises, the

Building and the Project to a subsequent user. Any Hazardous Materials contamination on, in, under or about the Premises and the Affected

Areas at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease that was caused by Tenant or any Tenant Parties and which is not disclosed

by Tenant prior to the effective date of this Lease shall be presumed to have arisen in connection with Tenant’s environmental

activities under the Lease. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, if any clean-up or monitoring procedure is required by any

applicable governmental authorities in, on, under or about the Premises and the Affected Areas during the Lease Term as a consequence

of any Hazardous Materials contamination that was caused by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, and the procedure for clean-up is not completed

(to the satisfaction of governmental authorities) prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease then, at Landlord’s

election (i) this Lease shall be deemed renewed for a term commencing on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and ending

on the date the clean-up procedure is completed; or (ii) Tenant shall be deemed to have impermissibly held over (and Article 16 of this

Lease shall apply with full force and effect) and Landlord shall be entitled to all damages directly or indirectly incurred, including,

without limitation, damages occasioned by the inability to relet the Premises and/or any other portion of the Building or a reduction

of the fair market or rental value of the Premises and/or the Building.

5.2.6

Tenant’s Duty to Notify Landlord Regarding Releases. Tenant agrees to promptly notify Landlord of any Release of Hazardous

Materials in the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project which Tenant becomes aware of during the Lease Term, whether

caused by Tenant or any other persons or entities. In the event of any release of Hazardous Materials caused or permitted by Tenant or

any Tenant Parties, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense,

to immediately take all reasonable steps Landlord deems necessary or appropriate to remediate such Release and prevent any similar future

release. Tenant will, upon the request of Landlord at any time during which Landlord has reason to believe that Tenant is not in compliance

with this Section 5.2 (and in any event no earlier than sixty (60) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of

this Lease), cause to be performed an environmental audit of the Premises at Tenant’s expense by an established environmental consulting

firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord. In the event the audit provides that Corrective Action is required, Tenant shall immediately

perform the same at its sole cost and expense.

5.2.7

Tenant’s Environmental Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to promptly indemnify, protect,

defend and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord’s members, partners, subpartners, independent contractors, officers, directors,

shareholders, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, “Landlord Parties”) from and against any and

all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, expenses and costs (including, without

limitation, clean-up, removal, remediation and restoration costs, sums paid in settlement of claims, reasonable attorneys’ fees,

reasonable consultant fees and reasonable expert fees and court costs) which arise or result from the presence of Hazardous Materials

on, in, under or about the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project to the extent caused by Tenant or any Tenant Parties

during the Lease Term, and excepting therefrom liability caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Parties,

including arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by (i) the presence in, on, under or about the Premises

and the Affected Areas of any Hazardous Materials to the extent caused or permitted by Tenant or any Tenant Parties; (ii) Tenant’s

or Tenant Parties’ use, treatment, storage, transportation, holding, existence, disposition, manufacturing, control, management,

abatement, removal, handling, transfer, generation or Release (past, present or threatened) of Hazardous Materials to, in, on, under,

about or from the Premises and the Affected Areas; (iii) any non-compliance or violations of any Environmental Laws caused by Tenant

or any Tenant Parties with respect to the Premises and/or the Affected Areas; (iv) personal injury claims; (v) the payment of any environmental

liens, or the disposition, recording, or filing of any environmental lien encumbering or otherwise affecting the Premises and/or the

Affected Areas; (vi) diminution in the value of the Premises and/or the Project; (vii) damages for the loss or restriction of use of

the Premises and/or the Project, including prospective rent, lost profits and business opportunities; (viii) sums paid in settlement

of claims; (ix) reasonable attorneys’ fees, consulting fees and expert fees; (x) the cost of any investigation of site conditions;

and (xi) the cost of any repair, clean-up or remediation ordered by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency or body. Tenant’s

obligations hereunder shall include, without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs of any required or necessary

repair, cleanup or detoxification or decontamination of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, or the preparation and implementation

of any closure, remedial action or other required plans in connection therewith. For purposes of the indemnity provisions in this Section

5.2, any acts or omissions of Tenant and/or any Tenant Parties or others acting for or on behalf of Tenant (whether or not they are negligent,

intentional, willful or unlawful) shall be strictly attributable to Tenant. The provisions of this Section 5.2.7 will survive the expiration

or earlier termination of this Lease.

5.2.8

Tenant’s Waiver of Section 1542. Tenant warrants, represents, acknowledges and agrees that Tenant has performed all investigations

appropriate under the circumstances to determine whether any violations of Hazardous Materials Laws currently exist. Tenant shall have

no right or remedy against Landlord with respect to any such violation and Tenant hereby releases, waives and forever discharges Landlord

and the Landlord Parties from any and all claims, demands and causes of action, whether known or unknown to Tenant, which Tenant may

now or hereafter have arising out of, connected with or incidental to the existence of any Hazardous Material now or hereafter on or

about the Premises or the Project; provided that Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord or Landlord’s agents, employees, contractors,

affiliates or lenders (by the payment of Operating Expenses or otherwise) for remedying any non-compliance as of the Lease Commencement

Date of the Premises or the Project with Hazardous Materials Laws. Tenant is aware of the provisions of Section 1542 of the California

Civil Code which provides as follows:

“A

GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR

AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR

OR RELEASED PARTY.”

and,

after consultation with counsel concerning the meaning and effect of such waiver, Tenant specifically waives the benefit of the provisions

of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code.

5.2.9

Landlord’s Termination Option for Certain Environmental Problems. If Hazardous Materials are present at the Premises that

are required by Environmental Law to be remediated and Tenant is not responsible therefor pursuant to Section 5.2, Landlord may, at its

option, either (i) remediate such Hazardous Materials, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect or (ii) if the

estimated cost to remediate such Hazardous Materials exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “Threshold Amount”),

give written notice to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of knowledge of the existence of such Hazardous Materials,

of Landlord’s desire to terminate this Lease as of the date one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of such notice. In

the event Landlord elects to give such a termination notice, Tenant may, within ten (10) days thereafter, give written notice to Landlord

of Tenant’s commitment to pay the amount by which the cost of the remediation of such Hazardous Materials exceeds the Threshold

Amount. Tenant shall provide Landlord with such funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following such commitment.

In such event, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Landlord shall proceed to make such remediation as soon as reasonably

possible after the required funds are available. If Tenant does not give such notice and provide the required funds or assurance thereof

within the time provided, this Lease shall terminate as the date specified in Landlord’s termination notice.

5.2.10

Control Areas. Tenant shall be allowed to utilize up to its pro rata share of the Hazardous Materials inventory within any control

area or zone (located within the Premises), as designated by the applicable building code, for chemical use or storage. As used in the

preceding sentence, Tenant’s pro rata share of any control areas or zones located within the Premises shall be determined based

on the rentable square footage that Tenant leases within the applicable control area or zone. For purposes of example only, if a control

area or zone contains 10,000 rentable square feet and 2,000 rentable square feet of a tenant’s premises are located within such

control area or zone (while such premises as a whole contains 5,000 rentable square feet), the applicable tenant’s pro rata share

of such control area would be 20%.

5.3

Odors and Exhaust. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord would not enter into this Lease with Tenant unless Tenant assured Landlord

that under no circumstances will the Premises be damaged by any exhaust from Tenant’s operations. Landlord and Tenant therefore

agree as follows:

5.3.1

Tenant shall not cause or permit (or conduct any activities that would cause) any release of any odors or fumes of any kind from the

Premises.

5.3.2

If the Building has a ventilation system that, in Landlord’s judgment, is adequate, suitable, and appropriate to vent the Premises

in a manner that does not release odors affecting any indoor or outdoor part of the Premises, Tenant shall vent the Premises through

such system. If Landlord at any time reasonably determines that any existing ventilation system is inadequate, or if no ventilation system

exists, Tenant shall in compliance with applicable laws vent all fumes and odors from the Premises (and remove odors from Tenant’s

exhaust stream) as Landlord reasonably requires. The placement and configuration of all ventilation exhaust pipes, louvers and other

equipment shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. Tenant acknowledges Landlord’s legitimate desire to maintain

the Premises (indoor and outdoor areas) in an odor-free manner.

5.3.3

Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, provide odor eliminators and other devices (such as filters, air cleaners, scrubbers

and whatever other equipment may in Landlord’s reasonable judgment be necessary from time to time) to eliminate any offensive odors,

fumes or other substances in Tenant’s exhaust stream that emanate from the Premises and create a nuisance. Any work Tenant performs

under this Section 5.3 shall constitute Alterations.

5.3.4

Tenant’s responsibility to remove, eliminate and abate odors, fumes and exhaust shall continue throughout the Term.

6.2

Overstandard Tenant Use. Tenant shall not overload the Systems and Equipment serving the Building. If Tenant desires to use HVAC

for the office portions of the Premises during hours other than those for which Landlord is obligated to supply such utilities pursuant

to the terms of Section 6.1 of this Lease, (i) if Tenant is not able to operate the after-hours HVAC directly, Tenant shall give Landlord

one (1) business day prior notice of Tenant’s desired use, (ii) Landlord shall supply such HVAC to Tenant at such reasonable hourly

cost to Tenant as Landlord shall from time to time establish, and (iii) Tenant shall pay such cost to Landlord within thirty (30) days

after billing, as Additional Rent. The hourly after-hours HVAC cost shall be equal to (A) the actual cost incurred by Landlord to supply

such after-hours HVAC on an hourly basis (but based on a one (1) hour minimum provision of such after-hours HVAC), (B) increased wear

and tear and depreciation of equipment to provide such after-hours HVAC, and (C) the pro rata maintenance costs related to such after-hours

6.3

Utilities. Tenant shall pay for all water (including the cost to service, repair and replace reverse osmosis, de-ionized and other

treated water, if any), gas, heat, light, power, telephone, internet service, cable television, other telecommunications and other utilities

supplied to the Premises, together with any fees, surcharges and taxes thereon. If any such utility is not separately metered or submetered

to Tenant, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of all charges of such utility jointly metered with other premises as Additional Rent

or, in the alternative, Landlord may, at its option, monitor the usage of such utilities by Tenant at Landlord’s sole, unreimbursable

expense. To the extent that Tenant uses more than Tenant’s Share of any utilities as reasonably and objectively measured, then

Tenant shall pay Landlord Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses to reflect such excess.

6.4

Interruption of Use. Subject to Section 6.8 below, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of

Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including, but not limited to, any central plant or other

lab system, or telephone and telecommunication services), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, when such failure

or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs, replacements, or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other

labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building or Project after reasonable effort to do

so, by any accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant, or by any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control;

and such failures or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession

of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall

not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of, or injury to, property (including scientific research and any intellectual property)

or for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through

or in connection with or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the services or utilities as set forth in this Article 6.

6.5

Additional Services. Landlord shall also have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to provide any additional services

which may be required by Tenant, including, without limitation, locksmithing and additional repairs and maintenance, provided that Tenant

shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) days after billing and as Additional Rent hereunder, the sum of all costs to Landlord of such additional

services plus a five percent (5%) administration fee.

6.6

Janitorial Service. Landlord shall not be obligated to provide any janitorial services to the Premises or replace any light bulbs,

lamps, starters and ballasts for lighting fixtures within the Premises. Tenant shall be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost

and expense, for (i) performing all janitorial services, trash removal and other cleaning of the Premises, and (ii) replacement of all

light bulbs, lamps, starters and ballasts for lighting fixtures within the Premises, all as appropriate to maintain the Premises in a

first-class manner consistent with the first-class nature of the Building and Project. Such services to be provided by Tenant shall be

performed by contractors and pursuant to service contracts reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant shall deposit trash as reasonably

required in the area designated by Landlord from time to time. All trash containers must be covered and stored in a manner to prevent

the emanation of odors into the Premises or the Project. Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Premises upon reasonable notice

to Tenant and to require Tenant to provide additional cleaning, if reasonably necessary. In the event Tenant shall fail to provide any

of the services described in this Section 6.6 to be performed by Tenant within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord, which notice

shall not be required in the event of an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to provide such services and any charge or cost incurred

by Landlord in connection therewith shall be deemed Additional Rent due and payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt by

preceding year. Tenant shall retain records of utility usage at the Premises, including invoices and statements from the utility provider,

for at least twenty four (24) months. Tenant acknowledges that any utility information for the Premises may be shared with third parties,

including Landlord’s consultants and governmental authorities. In the event that Tenant fails to comply with this Section, Tenant

hereby authorizes Landlord to collect utility usage information directly from the applicable utility providers, and agrees to pay Landlord

a fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100) per month to collect such utility usage information.

6.8

Abatement of Rent When Tenant is Prevented From Using Premises. In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not

use, the Premises or any portion thereof for five (5) consecutive days (the “Eligibility Period”) as a result of (i)

any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Landlord after the Lease Commencement Date and required to be performed by Landlord

under this Lease, including pursuant to Section 24.30 hereof, or (ii) any failure by Landlord to provide to the Premises any of the facilities

for essential utilities and services required to be provided in Section 6.1 above, or (iii) any failure by Landlord to provide access

to the Premises, including as a result of Landlord’s activities in Article 22 hereof, or (iv) any failure by Landlord to provide

access to the Premises by the Lease Commencement Date, then Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating

Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, from and after the first (1st) day of the

Eligibility Period and continuing until such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises

or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable square feet of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using,

and does not use, bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. To the extent Tenant shall be entitled to abatement of rent

because of a damage or destruction pursuant to Article 11 or a taking pursuant to Article 12, then the Eligibility Period shall not be

applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any such failure or dimunition, if caused by the gross negligence or willful

misconduct of Landlord or a Landlord Party, or by Landlord’s violation of this Lease, shall entitle Tenant to such a credit commencing

on the first day of such failure or dimunition.

REPAIRS

7.1

Tenant’s Repairs. Subject to Landlord’s repair obligations in Sections 7.2 and 11.1 below, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s

own expense, keep the Premises, including all improvements, fixtures and furnishings therein, in good order, repair and condition at

all times during the Lease Term, which repair obligations shall include, without limitation, the obligation to promptly and adequately

repair all damage to the Premises and replace or repair all damaged or broken fixtures and appurtenances, together with all portions

of the HVAC, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, life safety and lab systems from the point that such systems solely serve the Premises,

and all portions of all fume hoods and other exhaust systems (all such systems collectively being referred to as the “Premises

Systems”), in a first-class condition. Tenant’s obligations shall include restorations, replacements or renewals, including

capital expenditures for restorations, replacements or renewals which will have an expected life beyond the Term, when necessary to keep

the Premises and all improvements thereon or a part thereof and all Premises Systems in first-class order, condition and repair and in

compliance with all applicable laws. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, it is intended by the parties hereto that Landlord

shall have no obligation, in any manner whatsoever, to repair or maintain the Premises, the improvements or the equipment therein, or

the Premises Systems, whether structural or nonstructural, all of which obligations are intended to be the expense of Tenant (whether

or not such repairs, maintenance or restoration shall have an expected life extending beyond the Term). Tenant’s maintenance of

the Premises Systems shall comply with the manufacturers’ recommended operating and maintenance procedures. Tenant shall enter

into and pay for maintenance contracts (in forms satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion, which may require, without limitation,

that any third party contractor provide Landlord with evidence of insurance as required by Landlord) for the Premises Systems in accordance

with the manufacturers’ recommended operating and maintenance procedures. Such maintenance contracts shall be with reputable contractors,

satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion, who shall have not less than ten (10) years of experience in maintaining such

systems in biotechnical facilities. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall provide final maintenance reports from any such contractors.

Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of all improvements or alterations to the Premises or the Premises Systems required by

law after the Lease Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Landlord’s option, or if Tenant fails to make such repairs

after notice and the expiration of thirty (30) days without cure (provided that, if such cure is of such a nature that it is incapable

of completion within thirty (30) days, Tenant shall have whatever longer period of time is necessary, so long as Tenant commences such

cure within such thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion), Landlord may, but need not, make such repairs

and replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, including a percentage of the cost thereof (to be uniformly established

for the Building) sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other reasonable costs or expenses

arising from Landlord’s involvement with such repairs and replacements within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice and

supporting documentation therefor. In addition, Landlord reserves the right, upon notice to Tenant, to procure and maintain any or all

of such service contracts, and if Landlord so elects, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice

and supporting documentation therefor, for the reasonable costs thereof. Tenant shall, no later than January 31st of each

calendar year during the Term, provide to Landlord a copy of the budget for maintenance, repairs and replacements at the Premises for

the preceding calendar year, as well as a detailed summary of the amounts actually expended by Tenant during such period for maintenance,

repairs and replacements at the Premises.

Landlord’s Repairs. Anything contained in Section 7.1 above to the contrary notwithstanding, and subject to Articles 11

and 12 below, Landlord shall repair and maintain the roof, exterior walls, floor slabs, windows, elevators, and structural portions of

the Building, including the basic plumbing, HVAC, fire sprinkler, life safety, mechanical and electrical systems serving the Building

and not located in the Premises in order to keep the Building, including all improvements, fixtures and furnishings therein, in good

order, repair and condition, and the parking areas, drives, sidewalks and entrances in good order, repair and condition; provided, however,

to the extent such maintenance and repairs are caused by the act, neglect, fault of or omission of any duty by Tenant or its agents,

servants, employees or invitees, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent the reasonable cost of such maintenance and repairs.

Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any such repairs, or to perform any maintenance. Except as specifically set forth

in Section 6.8 above, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with

Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Project, Building

or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. Tenant hereby waives and releases its right to make repairs

at Landlord’s expense under Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code; or under any similar law, statute, or ordinance

now or hereafter in effect.

ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS

8.1

Landlord’s Consent to Alterations. Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises

(collectively, “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which

consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be

unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute

discretion with respect to any Alterations which may adversely affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment,

or which can be seen from outside the Premises (“Prohibited Alterations”). Subject to Landlord’s approval of

detailed plans and specifications, and subject to all of the other terms and conditions of this Article 8, Landlord hereby approves,

in concept, the Phase 3 Tenant Improvements depicted on the Final Space Plan attached as Schedule 1 to Exhibit B.

Tenant shall pay for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses of Alterations, and in instances requiring Landlord

consent shall pay to Landlord a Landlord supervision fee of four percent (4%) of the cost of the Alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing

to the contrary, Landlord’s prior consent shall not be required with respect to any interior Alterations to the Premises which

(i) are not Prohibited Alterations, (ii) cost less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) for any one (1) job and, other than

minor electrical, cabling and lighting work (such as adding an outlet or light switch), (iii) do not require a building permit, and (iv)

are not visible from outside the Premises, so long as the other conditions of this Article 8 are satisfied including, without limitation,

conforming to Landlord’s reasonable rules, regulations and insurance requirements which govern contractors of which Landlord gives

Tenant a copy. The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter

and not the terms of this Article 8.

-18- Calidi Biotherapeutics

8.2

Manner of Construction. Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to all Alterations or repairs of the Premises, such

requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement that Tenant

utilize for such purposes only contractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen reasonably approved by Landlord; provided, however,

Landlord may impose such requirements as Landlord may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, with respect to any work affecting

the structural components of the Building or Systems and Equipment (including designating specific contractors to perform such work).

Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in compliance with any and all applicable rules and regulations of any

federal, state, county or municipal code or ordinance and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the city in which the Building

is located, and in conformance with any commercially reasonable construction rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord of which Landlord

gives Tenant a copy. Landlord’s approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings for Alterations shall create no responsibility

or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of

governmental agencies or authorities. All work with respect to any Alterations must be done in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently

prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit except during the period of work. Tenant

shall cause all Alterations to be performed in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with access by any person to the Building

or Project or the common areas, and as not to unreasonably interfere with the business of Landlord or other tenants of the Project, or

unreasonably interfere with the labor force working at the Project. If Tenant makes any Alterations, Tenant agrees to carry “Builder’s

All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, if applicable, and such other

insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant

to Article 10 below immediately upon completion thereof. Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien

and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion

of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall (i) cause a Notice of Completion

to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county in which the Project is located in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil

Code of the State of California or any successor statute, (ii) deliver to the management office of the Building a reproducible copy of

the “as built” drawings of the Alterations, if applicable, and (iii) deliver to Landlord evidence of payment, contractors’

affidavits and full and final waivers of all liens for labor, services or materials.

8.3

Landlord’s Property. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment which may be installed or placed in or about

the Premises (including, but not limited to, all floor and wall coverings, built-in cabinet work and paneling, sinks and related plumbing

fixtures, laboratory benches, exterior venting fume hoods and walk-in freezers and refrigerators, ductwork, conduits, electrical panels

and circuits) after the Lease Commencement Date shall be at the sole cost of Tenant. Upon the expiration or early termination of the

Lease Term, at Landlord’s election in its sole discretion, such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment, or any of

them, shall become the property of Landlord. Furthermore, Landlord may require that Tenant remove such Alterations, improvements, fixtures

and/or equipment, or any of them, upon the expiration or early termination of the Lease Term, and repair any damage to the Premises and

Building caused by such removal to the extent Landlord required removal in its written consent to Tenant’s request for consent

to perform such Alteration (or at the time Tenant provided Landlord with notice of any Alterations not requiring Landlord’s consent)

and so long as Tenant requested Landlord’s determination of such removal requirement in Tenant’s request for consent. If

Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair, where obligated to do so, by the end of the Lease Term, Landlord may do so and

may charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8 to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant

remove any improvement from the Premises as to which Landlord contributed payment, including the Tenant Improvements, without Landlord’s

prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.

8.4

Wi-Fi Network. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Tenant desires to install a wireless intranet, Internet and

communications network (“Wi-Fi Network”) in the Premises for use by Tenant and its employees, guests, and invitees,

then the same shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.4 (in addition to the other provisions of this Article 8). In the

event Landlord consents to Tenant’s installation of such Wi-Fi Network, which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold,

condition or delay, Tenant shall, in accordance with Article 15 below, remove the Wi-Fi Network from the Premises prior to the termination

of the Lease. Tenant shall use the Wi-Fi Network so as not to cause any interference to other tenants in the Building or to other tenants

at the Project, or with any other tenant’s communication equipment, and not to damage the Building or Project or interfere with

the normal operation of the Building or Project, and Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against

any and all claims, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of Tenant’s

failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.4, except to the extent same is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct

of Landlord and is not covered by the insurance carried by Tenant under this Lease (or which would not be covered by the insurance required

to be carried, but not carried by Tenant under this Lease, had Tenant carried it). Should any interference occur, Tenant shall take all

necessary steps as soon as reasonably possible and no later than three (3) business days following such occurrence to correct such interference.

If such interference continues after such three (3) business day period, Tenant shall immediately cease operating such Wi-Fi Network

until such interference is corrected or remedied to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has granted

and/or may grant telecommunication rights to other tenants and occupants of the Building and Project and to telecommunication service

providers, and in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any interference of the same with such Wi-Fi Network, provided, however,

that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights under any lease with such tenants and occupants. Landlord

makes no representation that the Wi-Fi Network will be able to receive or transmit communication signals without interference or disturbance.

Tenant shall (i) be solely responsible for any damage caused as a result of the Wi-Fi Network, (ii) promptly pay any tax, license or

permit fees charged pursuant to any laws or regulations in connection with the installation, maintenance or use of the Wi-Fi Network

and comply with all precautions and safeguards recommended by all governmental authorities, (iii) pay for all necessary repairs, replacements

to or maintenance of the Wi-Fi Network, and (iv) be responsible for any modifications, additions or repairs to the Building or Project,

including without limitation, Building or Project systems or infrastructure, which are required by reason of the installation, operation

or removal of Tenant’s Wi-Fi Network. Should Landlord be required to retain professionals to research any interference issues that

may arise and confirm Tenant’s compliance with the terms of this Section 8.4, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the costs incurred

by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s retention of such professionals, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable

costs thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation therefor if such professionals determine

that Tenant has interfered with other Project tenants’ or occupants’ networks in violation of this Section. This reimbursement

obligation is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights or remedies Landlord may have in the event of a breach or default by Tenant

under this Lease.

COVENANT AGAINST LIENS

Tenant

has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created by act of Tenant, operation

of law or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon the Project, Building or Premises, and any and all liens and encumbrances created

by Tenant shall attach to Tenant’s interest only. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises

any notice which it deems necessary for protection from such liens. Tenant shall not cause or permit any lien of mechanics or materialmen

or others to be placed against the Project, the Building or the Premises with respect to work or services claimed to have been performed

for or materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or the Premises, and, in case of any such lien attaching or notice of any lien,

Tenant shall cause it to be immediately released and removed of record (other than with respect the Tenant Improvements, for which Landlord

shall be responsible). If any such lien is not released and removed or bonded over within ten (10) business days after notice of such

lien is delivered by Landlord to Tenant, then Landlord may, at its option, take all action necessary to release and remove such lien,

without any duty to investigate the validity thereof, and all sums, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and

costs, incurred by Landlord in connection with such lien shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and shall be due and payable

by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation therefor. In the event that

Tenant leases or finances the acquisition of equipment, furnishings or other personal property of a removable nature utilized by Tenant

in the operation of Tenant’s business, Tenant warrants that any Uniform Commercial Code financing statement shall, upon its face

or by exhibit thereto, indicate that such financing statement is applicable only to removable personal property of Tenant located within

the Premises. In no event shall the address of the Premises be furnished on a financing statement without qualifying language as to applicability

of the lien only to removable personal property located in an identified suite leased by Tenant. Should any holder of a financing statement

record or place of record a financing statement that appears to constitute a lien against any interest of Landlord or against equipment

that may be located other than within an identified suite leased by Tenant, Tenant shall, within ten business (10) days after filing

such financing statement, cause (a) a copy of the portion of the Lender security agreement or other documents to which the financing

statement pertains to be furnished to Landlord to facilitate Landlord’s ability to demonstrate that the lien of such financing

statement is not applicable to Landlord’s interest and (b) Tenant’s lender to amend such financing statement and any other

documents of record to clarify that any liens imposed thereby are not applicable to any interest of Landlord in the Premises.

arising from any cause in, on or about the Premises (including, without limitation, Tenant’s installation, placement and removal

of Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises), except as caused by Landlord or Landlord Parties’

negligence or willful misconduct, and any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant,

or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, licensees or invitees of Tenant or any such person, in, on or about the Premises,

the Building and Project; provided, however, that the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the negligence or willful misconduct

of Landlord. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything

in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant assumes all risk of, damage to personal property

or scientific research or intellectual property, including loss of records kept by Tenant within the Premises and damage or losses caused

by fire, electrical malfunction, gas explosion or water damage of any type (including broken water lines, malfunctioning fire sprinkler

further waives any claim for injury to Tenant’s business or loss of income relating to any such damage or destruction of personal

property as described above.

Tenant’s Compliance with Landlord’s Fire and Casualty Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply as

to the Premises with all insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises of which Landlord provides Tenant a copy.

If Tenant’s particular use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies, then Tenant shall reimburse

Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of

the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.

the Premises attributable to the presence of Hazardous Materials.

10.3.7

specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s obligations under

Section 10.1 above; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A–/VII in Best’s Insurance Guide

thereof. If Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificate, within such time periods, Landlord

may, at its option, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies under this Lease, procure such policies for the account of Tenant,

and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after delivery of bills therefor.

occasioned to the property of such waiving party to the extent that the waiving party is entitled to proceeds for such loss and damage

under any property insurance policies carried or otherwise required to be carried by this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing

waiver shall not apply to the extent of Tenant’s or Landlord’s obligation to pay deductibles under any such policies and

this Lease. By this waiver it is the intent of the parties that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to any insurance company

(by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the other party for any loss or damage insured against under any property insurance policies,

even though such loss or damage might be occasioned by the negligence of such party or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees.

The foregoing waiver by Tenant shall also inure to the benefit of Landlord’s management agent for the Building.

Landlord Indemnity and Insurance Obligations. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless Tenant and all Tenant

Parties from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable

attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with or arising from (1) the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the Landlord

Parties in, on or about the Project, or (2) any violation by Landlord of any law applicable to the Project; provided, however, that the

terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or the Tenant Parties.

The provisions of this Section 10.6 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. During the Lease Term, Landlord,

as part of Operating Expenses, shall maintain property insurance covering the Project (excluding the property which Tenant is obligated

to insure pursuant to the terms hereof) in such amounts and with such deductibles as Landlord reasonably deems appropriate but substantially

consistent with the insurance maintained by other institutional owners of comparable buildings in the general vicinity of the Building.

Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain and carry any other form or forms of insurance as Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagees

or deed of trust beneficiaries may determine prudent. Notwithstanding any contribution by Tenant to the cost of insurance as provided

in this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that it has no right to receive any proceeds from any insurance policies maintained by Landlord and

will not be named as an additional insured thereunder.

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

11.1

Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire

or any other casualty after becoming aware of such damage. If the Premises or any common areas of the Building or Project serving or

providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable

delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article

11, restore the base, shell, and core of the Premises and such common areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition

of the base, shell, and core of the Premises and common areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and

building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Project and/or the Building, or the lessor of a ground or underlying

lease with respect to the Building, or any other modifications to the common areas deemed desirable by Landlord, provided access to the

Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises,

Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s

insurance required under Section 10.3 of this Lease with respect to tenant improvements and Alterations in the Premises, and Landlord

shall repair any damage to the tenant improvements and Alterations installed in the Premises and shall return such tenant improvements

and alterations to their original condition; provided that if the costs of such repair of such tenant improvements and Alterations by

Landlord exceed the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord therefor from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by

Tenant, the excess costs of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s repair of the damage. In connection

with such repairs and replacements of any such Alterations, Tenant shall, prior to Landlord’s commencement of such improvement

work, submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto,

and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance

to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided,

however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or common areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, Landlord

shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities

Costs during the time and to the extent the Premises are inaccessible or unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease,

and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof.

11.2

Landlord’s Option to Repair. Notwithstanding Section 11.1 above to the contrary, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or

restore the Premises, the Building and/or any other portion of the Project and instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing

of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date Landlord becomes aware of such damage, such notice to include a termination

date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building shall be damaged by fire or

other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) repairs

cannot reasonably be substantially completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such damage (when such repairs are

made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Project and/or the Building or ground

or underlying lessor with respect to the Project and/or the Building shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof

be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground or underlying lease, as the case may be; or (iii) the damage is not

fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord’s insurance policies (or, if Landlord has not procured the insurance

required by this Lease, would not have been covered by such insurance had Landlord procured it). In addition, if the Premises or the

Building is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last year of the Lease Term, then notwithstanding anything contained

in this Article 11, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant of the exercise of such

option within thirty (30) days after such damage, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice.

Upon any such termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.2, Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned

up to such date of termination, subject to the date of casualty, and both parties hereto shall thereafter be discharged of all further

obligations under this Lease, except for those obligations which expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease

Term.

Tenant’s Option to Terminate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant may elect to terminate

this Lease by notifying Landlord in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of the casualty, but Tenant may

so elect only if the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause (or access to the Premises is unavailable due to such

damage in the Building or Project) and repairs cannot reasonably be substantially completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after

the date of such damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums) but subject to extension of such

one hundred eighty (180) day period due to Force Majeure delays. In addition, if the Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged

to any substantial extent during the last year of the Lease Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 11, Tenant

shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord of the exercise of such option within thirty (30)

days after such damage, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice. In addition, in the event

the repairs following a casualty are not completed within one hundred eighty (180) days following the casualty (but subject to extension

of such one hundred eighty (180) day period due to Force Majeure delays), Tenant shall have the right to terminate by notice to Landlord

given prior to substantial completion of the repairs.

11.4

Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between

Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other

portion of the Project, and any statute or regulation of the state in which the Project is located, including, without limitation, Sections

1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence

of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application

to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project.

CONDEMNATION

12.1

Permanent Taking. If the whole or any material part of the Premises, Building or Project shall be taken by power of eminent domain

or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be

so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require material reconstruction or remodeling

of any part of the Premises, Building or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent

domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days’ notice, provided such notice

is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking, condemnation, deed or other instrument. If more than

ten percent (10%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, Tenant

shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days’ notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred

eighty (180) days after the date of such taking. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection therewith,

except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s personal property

and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for

moving expenses, so long as such claim does not diminish the award available to Landlord, or its ground lessor or mortgagee with respect

to the Project, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination, or

the date of such taking, whichever shall first occur. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated,

the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shall be proportionately abated. Tenant

hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

all or any portion of the Premises for a period of sixty (60) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and

Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion

to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

14.1

Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord pursuant to the requirements and standards of Section

14.2, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest

hereunder, permit any assignment or other such foregoing transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet

the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and its employees (all of the foregoing

are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers,” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or

sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”). If Tenant shall desire Landlord’s

consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “Transfer Notice”) shall include

(i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180)

days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject

Space”), (iii) all of the material terms of the proposed Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy

of all existing and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, other than, in the event of a Transfer by merger or

of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, information regarding the consideration therefor, (iv) current financial statements

of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, (v) a list of Hazardous Materials, certified by the proposed

Transferee to be true and correct in all material respects, that the proposed Transferee intends to use or store in the Premises, and

(vi) such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall,

at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a default by Tenant under

this Lease. Whether or not Landlord shall grant consent, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord, Tenant shall pay

to Landlord Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) to reimburse Landlord for its review and processing fees, and Tenant shall

also reimburse Landlord for any reasonable third party legal fees incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant’s proposed Transfer,

not to exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00).

14.2

Landlord’s Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any proposed Transfer on

the terms specified in the Transfer Notice and shall respond by granting or denying consent or requesting additional information required

hereunder within ten (10) business days following the Transfer Notice. In the event Landlord does not respond to a Transfer Notice within

ten (10) business days and if such failure continues for an additional five (5) business days after Tenant’s second written request

for consent, Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to the Transfer. In no event shall Landlord be deemed to be unreasonable for

declining to consent to a Transfer to a transferee jeopardizing directly or indirectly the status of Landlord or any of Landlord’s

affiliates as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the

“Revenue Code”). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, (w) no Transfer shall be consummated

on any basis such that the rental or other amounts to be paid by the occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee thereunder would

be based, in whole or in part, on the net income or profits derived by the business activities of such occupant, assignee, manager or

other transferee; (x) Tenant shall not furnish or render any services to an occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee with respect

to whom transfer consideration is required to be paid, or manage or operate the Premises or any capital additions so transferred, with

respect to which transfer consideration is being paid; (y) Tenant shall not consummate a Transfer with any person in which Landlord owns

an interest, directly or indirectly (by applying constructive ownership rules set forth in Section 856(d)(5) of the Revenue Code); and

(z) Tenant shall not consummate a Transfer with any person or in any manner that could cause any portion of the amounts received by Landlord

pursuant to this Lease or any sublease, license or other arrangement for the right to use, occupy or possess any portion of the Premises

to fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Revenue Code, or any similar

or successor provision thereto or which could cause any other income of Landlord to fail to qualify as income described in Section 856(c)(2)

of the Revenue Code. The parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord

to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds

for withholding consent:

14.2.1

The Transferee is engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or Project;

14.2.2

The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;

14.2.3

The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;

14.2.4

The Transfer will result in more than a reasonable and safe number of occupants per floor within the Subject Space;

14.2.5

The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities involved under

the Lease on the date consent is requested;

14.2.6

The proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party, or would give

an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease; or

14.2.7

Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which (i) directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common

control with, the proposed Transferee, (ii) occupies space in the Project at the time of the request for consent, (iii) is negotiating

with Landlord to lease space in the Project at such time, or (iv) has negotiated with Landlord during three (3) month period immediately

preceding the Transfer Notice and in any such instance Landlord has reasonably equivalent space available in the Project similar to the

Subject Space and Landlord, in each such case, has comparable space in the Project available for lease to such proposed Transferee.

If

Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may

have under Section 14.4 below), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord’s consent, enter into such Transfer of the Premises

or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord

pursuant to Section 14.1 above, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer

Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, or (ii)

which would cause the proposed Transfer to be materially more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant’s

original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14

(including Landlord’s right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease).

With

respect to each and every sublease or subletting authorized by Landlord under the provisions of this Lease, it is further agreed that:

(i)

no subletting shall be for a term ending later than one (1) day prior to the Expiration Date of this Lease;

5580 MOREHOUSE DRIVE

-26- Calidi Biotherapeutics

(ii)

no sublease shall be delivered, and no subtenant shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, until an executed counterpart

of such sublease has been delivered to Landlord;

(iii)

each sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate,

and that in the event of termination, re-entry or dispossession by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, take over

all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord’s option,

attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then -executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not (a) be liable for any

previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (b) be subject to any counterclaim, offset or defense not expressly provided

in such sublease, which theretofore accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, (c) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease

not approved by Landlord in writing or by any previous prepayment of more than one (1) month’s rent (unless such prepayment shall

have been actually received by Landlord), and all such rent shall remain due and owing, notwithstanding such advance payment, or (d)

be obligated to perform any work in the subleased space or to prepare for occupancy, and in connection with such attornment, the subtenant

shall execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments Landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such attornment. The provisions

of this paragraph shall be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to this provision.

14.3

Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant

shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Premium received by Tenant from such Transferee. “Transfer Premium”

shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable

by Tenant under this Lease on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the reasonable

expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any reasonable changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer

(but only to the extent approved by Landlord), (ii) any reasonable brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer, (iii) any reasonable

legal fees in connection with the Transfer, and (iv) any fees payable hereunder to Landlord with respect to review of the proposed Transfer

(collectively, the “Subleasing Costs”). Transfer Premium shall also include, but not be limited to, any payment in

excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture

transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer.

14.4

Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, Landlord shall

have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within ten (10) days after receipt of any Transfer Notice, involving a sublease of

more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises or an assignment of this Lease (in each case, to someone other than an Affiliate of Tenant),

to recapture the Subject Space. Such recapture notice shall terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space as of the date stated

in the Transfer Notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer until the last day of the term of the Transfer as set forth in

the Transfer Notice. If this Lease is terminated with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated

on the basis of the rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and

this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute

written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner to recapture the Subject Space under this

Section 14.4, then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the Subject

Space to the proposed Transferee, subject to provisions of the last paragraph of Section 14.2 above. In no event shall this Section 14.4

apply to any Transfer to an Affiliate of Tenant.

14.5

Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer: (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to

have been waived or modified; (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee;

(iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of the documentation evidencing such Transfer;

and (iv) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s

consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from liability under this Lease. Landlord or its authorized representatives

shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer (other than with

respect to the portion of any Transfer as a result of a merger or a sale of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets), and shall

have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within

thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency and Landlord’s reasonable costs of such audit.

14.6

Additional Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include: (i) if Tenant is a partnership

or limited liability company, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of more than fifty percent (50%)

of the partners or members, or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the partnership or membership interests, within a twelve

(12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof; and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held

corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), (A) the dissolution, merger,

consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, (B) the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the

voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C)

the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the value of the unencumbered assets

of Tenant within a twelve (12)-month period; provided, however, in no event shall a Transfer include an initial public offering so long

as Tenant remains the same legal entity after such public offering nor shall the Transfer provisions set forth in this Section 14.6 above

apply thereafter so long as the Tenant is a corporation, the outstanding voting stock of which is listed on a recognized security exchange,.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Article 14, Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent, assign this Lease or sublet

all or any portion of the Premises to (a) any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Tenant, (b) a successor to Tenant by merger or consolidation,

or (c) a successor to Tenant by purchase of all or substantially all of Tenant’s shares or assets (a “Permitted Transfer”),

provided that (i) there is not then -existing Default by Tenant nor is there any event then existing which with the giving of notice

or the passage of time, or both, and of which Landlord has notified Tenant, would constitute a Default hereunder, (ii) at least ten (10)

business days before the Transfer, Tenant notifies Landlord of the Transfer (in writing) and delivers to Landlord any documents or information

reasonably requested by Landlord relating thereto, including reasonable documentation that the Transfer satisfies the requirements of

this Section 14.6 (provided that Tenant shall be obligated to provide such notice only to the extent Tenant is permitted to do so in

accordance with applicable laws), (iii) the Transferee executes and delivers to Landlord, at least ten (10) business days before the

Transfer, a commercially reasonable instrument pursuant to which the Transferee assumes, for Landlord’s benefit, all of Tenant’s

obligations hereunder, (iv) the Affiliate or the successor entity has a net worth immediately after the Transfer that is not less than

Tenant’s net worth as of the date of this Lease, (vi) the transfer is made for a good faith operating business purpose and not

in order to evade the requirements of this Article 14 and (vii) Tenant shall not be released from its obligations hereunder. For purposes

of this Section 14.6, the term “Affiliate” means any corporation or other entity which controls, is controlled by,

or is under common control with Tenant. The term “substantially all of Tenant’s assets” shall mean at least

ninety percent (90%) of such assets. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Affiliate Assignee” shall mean an Affiliate

to whom Tenant assigns all of its right, title and interest in and to this Lease and who assumes all of Tenant’s obligations under

this Lease including any entity described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above (pertaining to transfers which do not require Landlord’s

consent). There shall be no Transfer Premium as set forth in Section 14.3 nor Landlord recapture right as set forth in Section 14.4 with

respect to a Permitted Transfer.

SURRENDER; OWNERSHIP AND REMOVAL OF PERSONAL PROPERTY

15.1

Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed

to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in a writing signed

by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of

the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding

such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been

properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination

hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies

affecting the Premises.

Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant

as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are specifically

made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. Tenant’s restoration obligations may also include satisfying Landlord’s

commercially reasonable procedures regarding the cleaning of any lab systems and sealing any connection points of any such lab systems

to the Premises, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. At least ten (10) days prior to Tenant’s surrender of possession

of any part of the Premises, Tenant shall provide Landlord with (a) a facility decommissioning and Hazardous Materials closure plan for

the Premises (“Exit Survey”) prepared by an independent third party reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (b) written

evidence of all appropriate governmental releases obtained by Tenant in accordance with applicable laws, including laws pertaining to

the surrender of the Premises. In addition, Tenant agrees to remain responsible after the surrender of the Premises for the remediation

of any recognized environmental conditions set forth in the Exit Survey and compliance with any recommendations set forth in the Exit

Survey. Tenant shall, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, furnish to Landlord evidence that Tenant has closed all

governmental permits and licenses, if any, issued in connection with Tenant’s or any Tenant Parties’ activities at the Premises.

If any such governmental permits or licenses have been issued and Tenant fails to provide evidence of such closure on or before the expiration

or earlier termination of this Lease, then until Tenant does so, the holdover provisions of Article 16 of this Lease shall apply. Upon

such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all telephone,

data, and other cabling and wiring (including any cabling and wiring associated with the Wi-Fi Network, if any) installed or caused to

be installed by Tenant (including any cabling and wiring, installed above the ceiling of the Premises or below the floor of the Premises),

all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, free-standing cabinet work, and other articles of personal property owned

by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under

Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the

Premises and Building resulting from such removal. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 15.2 shall survive the expiration or

earlier termination of this Lease.

HOLDING OVER

If

Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall

be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent

shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period

of the Lease Term under this Lease for the first three (3) months of such holdover and two hundred percent (200%) thereafter (with Tenant

having the right, so long as Tenant is not then in Default under this Lease, to remain in the Premises for up to three (3) months after

the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term and Tenant providing Landlord with at least seventy-five (75) days’ prior

written notice sent no later than seventy-five (75) days prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease). Such month-to-month

tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Landlord hereby expressly reserves the right to

require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination

of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies

of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in

addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless

from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting

the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits

to Landlord resulting therefrom, provided that Landlord has given Tenant at least thirty (30) days’ notice of any such succeeding

tenant’s claims or Landlord’s potential lost profits.

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

Within

ten business (10) days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate,

which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be in any reasonable form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the

Project (or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other

information related to the Lease reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee or Landlord’s prospective mortgagees.

Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Failure of Tenant to timely

execute and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment

by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception. Failure by Tenant to so deliver

such estoppel certificate shall be a material default of the provisions of this Lease. Upon request from time to time, but not more often

than annually (except in the event of a sale, financing or refinancing by Landlord of the Building), Tenant agrees to provide to Landlord,

within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s delivery of written request therefor, current financial statements for Tenant, dated

no earlier than one (1) year prior to such written request, certified as accurate by Tenant or, if available, audited financial statements

prepared by an independent certified public accountant with copies of the auditor’s statement. If any guaranty is executed in connection

with this Lease, Tenant also agrees to deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s delivery of written

request therefor, but not more often than annually (except in the event of a sale, financing or refinancing by Landlord of the Building),

SUBORDINATION

This

Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future ground leases of the Project and to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds,

now or hereafter in force against the Project, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements

thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such

mortgages or trust deeds, or the lessors under such ground lease, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. Tenant covenants

attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, or to the lessor of such ground

lease, as the case may be, if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lessor as the lessor

as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages,

trust deeds, or ground leases. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to

give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in

the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale. Within sixty (60) days after the execution of this Lease, Landlord shall obtain a non-disturbance

agreement from the holder of any pre-existing mortgage encumbering the Building in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.

any lender of Landlord succeeds to the interest of Landlord or any successor to Landlord (such event, whether a foreclosure, deed-in-lieu

of foreclosure or other acquisition, being referred to herein as a “Foreclosure”), in no event shall such lender (a)

have any liability for any act or omission of Landlord or any other prior landlord under this Lease which occurs prior to the date such

lender succeeds to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, nor any liability for claims, offsets or defenses which Tenant might have

had against Landlord or any other prior landlord, (b) be obligated to complete or permit the construction of any improvements under this

Lease, except for any obligation arising after Foreclosure and only for any construction or expenditure that a real estate mortgage investment

to time, and regulations and rulings thereunder (if applicable), (c) be bound by any rents paid more than one month in advance to Landlord

at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent, except as otherwise stated in this Lease. The occurrence of

any of the following shall constitute a “Default” of this Lease by Tenant:

19.1.1

Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof,

when due and such failure is not cured within five business (5) days after written notice from Landlord; provided however, that any such

notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any

similar or successor law; or

19.1.2

Any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant

Landlord to Tenant; provided however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California

Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; and provided further that if the nature of such default is such

that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30)-day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently

commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure said default as soon as possible; or

19.1.3

Abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Tenant. Abandonment is herein defined to include, but is not limited to, any absence by Tenant

from the Premises for ten (10) business days or longer while in default of any provision of this Lease.

19.1.4

assets.

19.1.6

Tenant files a voluntary petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute (as the same may be amended from time

to time, the “Bankruptcy Code”) or an order for relief is entered against Tenant pursuant to a voluntary or involuntary

proceeding commenced under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code.

19.1.7

Any involuntary petition is filed against Tenant under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code and is not dismissed within one hundred twenty

(120) days.

19.1.8

Tenant fails to deliver an estoppel certificate in accordance with Article 17 and such failure continues for any additional three (3)

business days after Landlord’s second written request for the same.

19.1.9

Tenant’s interest in this Lease is attached, executed upon or otherwise judicially seized and such action is not released within

one hundred twenty (120) days of the action.

19.2

Landlord’s Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any

other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all

of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.

19.2.1

Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord

may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of

the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable

for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

(i)

the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(ii)

the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of

award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

-31- Calidi Biotherapeutics

(iii)

the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds

the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(iv)

any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations

under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited

to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant,

whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; plus

(v)

at Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by

applicable law.

The

term “rent” as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by

Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Sections 19.2.1(i) and (ii), above, the “worth

at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Section 4.5 above. As used in Section

19.2.1(iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of

the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

19.2.2

Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s

breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).

Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any Default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time,

without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it

becomes due.

19.2.3

Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform or otherwise cure any such obligation, provision, covenant

or condition on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed (and may enter the Premises for such purposes). In the event of Tenant’s

failure to perform any of its obligations or covenants under this Lease, and such failure to perform poses a material risk of injury

or harm to persons or damage to or loss of property, then Landlord shall have the right to cure or otherwise perform such covenant or

obligation at any time after such failure to perform by Tenant, whether or not any such notice or cure period set forth in Section 19.1

above has expired. Any such actions undertaken by Landlord pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 19.2.3 shall not be deemed

a waiver of Landlord’s rights and remedies as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform and shall not release Tenant from any

of its obligations under this Lease.

19.3

Payment by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor:

(i) sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s performance or

cure of any of Tenant’s obligations pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.2.3 above; and (ii) sums equal to all expenditures

made and obligations incurred by Landlord in collecting or attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any

rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including, without limitation, all reasonable legal fees and other amounts so

expended. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 19.3 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.

19.4

Sublessees of Tenant. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any Default by Tenant, as set forth

in this Article 19, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements

for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Tenant’s

interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. If Landlord elects to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such

subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further

right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.

19.5

Waiver of Default. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach by Tenant of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein

contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach by Tenant of the same or any

other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord in enforcement of one or more of the remedies

herein provided upon a default by Tenant shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default. The acceptance of any

Rent hereunder by Landlord following the occurrence of any default, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of

any such default, except only a default in the payment of the Rent so accepted.

19.6

Efforts to Relet. For the purposes of this Article 19, Tenant’s right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated

by efforts of Landlord to relet the Premises, by its acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment

of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder. The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of

acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating Tenant’s right to possession.

19.7

Bankruptcy. In the event a debtor, trustee or debtor in possession under the Bankruptcy Code, or another person with similar rights,

duties and powers under any other applicable laws, proposes to cure any default under this Lease or to assume or assign this Lease and

is obliged to provide adequate assurance to Landlord that (a) a default shall be cured, (b) Landlord shall be compensated for its damages

arising from any breach of this Lease and (c) future performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall occur, then such

adequate assurances shall include any or all of the following, as designated by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion:

(i)

Those acts specified in the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable laws as included within the meaning of “adequate assurance,”

even if this Lease does not concern a shopping center or other facility described in such applicable laws;

(ii)

A prompt cash payment to compensate Landlord for any monetary defaults or actual damages arising directly from a breach of this Lease;

(iii)

A cash deposit in an amount at least equal to the then-current amount of the Security Deposit; or

(iv)

The assumption or assignment of all of Tenant’s interest and obligations under this Lease.

LETTER OF CREDIT

20.1

Delivery of Letter of Credit. Within ten (10) calendar days after Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant

shall deliver to Landlord an unconditional, clean, irrevocable letter of credit (the “L-C”) in the amount set forth

in Section 10 of the Summary (the “L-C Amount”), which L-C shall be issued by a money-center, solvent and nationally

recognized bank (a bank which accepts deposits, maintains accounts, has a California office which will negotiate a letter of credit,

or will accept draw requests by facsimile or overnight courier, and whose deposits are insured by the FDIC) reasonably acceptable to

Landlord (such approved, issuing bank being referred to herein as the “Bank”), which Bank must have a short term Fitch

Rating which is not less than “F1”, and a long term Fitch Rating which is not less than “A”(or in the event such

Fitch Ratings are no longer available, a comparable rating from Standard and Poor’s Professional Rating Service or Moody’s

Professional Rating Service) (collectively, the “Bank’s Credit Rating Threshold”), and which L-C shall be in

the form of Exhibit F attached hereto. Tenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining

the L-C. The L-C shall (i) be “callable” at sight, irrevocable and unconditional, (ii) be maintained in effect, whether through

renewal or extension, for the period commencing on the date of this Lease and continuing until the date (the “L-C Expiration

Date”) that is no less than one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of the Lease Term as the same may be extended,

and Tenant shall deliver a new L-C or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration

of the L-C then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, (iii) be fully assignable by Landlord and its

successors and assigns, (iv) permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and (v) be otherwise subject to the International

Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication #590. Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right

to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the L-C if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable: (A) such amount

is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease and is not paid within applicable notice and cure periods, or (B) Tenant

has filed a voluntary petition under the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code (collectively, “Bankruptcy Code”),

or (C) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code and is not dismissed within one hundred twenty

(120) days, or (D) the Lease has been rejected, or is deemed rejected, under Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, following the filing

of a voluntary petition by Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or the filing of an involuntary petition against Tenant under the Bankruptcy

Code, or (E) the Bank has notified Landlord that the L-C will not be renewed or extended through the L-C Expiration Date and Tenant fails

to provide a replacement letter of credit that complies with the requirements in this Section at least thirty (30) days before the expiration

date of the L-C, or (F) Tenant is placed into receivership or conservatorship, or becomes subject to similar proceedings under Federal

or State law that is not dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days, or (G) Tenant executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors,

or (H) if (1) any of the Bank’s Fitch Ratings (or other comparable ratings to the extent the Fitch Ratings are no longer available)

have been reduced below the Bank’s Credit Rating Threshold, or (2) there is otherwise a material adverse change in the financial

condition of the Bank, and Tenant has failed to provide Landlord with a replacement letter of credit, conforming in all respects to the

requirements of this Article 20 (including, but not limited to, the requirements placed on the issuing Bank more particularly set forth

in this Section 20.1 above), in the amount of the applicable L-C Amount, within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s written

demand therefor (with no other notice or cure or grace period being applicable thereto, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the

contrary) (each of the foregoing being an “L-C Draw Event”). The L-C shall be honored by the Bank regardless of whether

Tenant disputes Landlord’s right to draw upon the L-C, and regardless of any discrepancies between the L-C and this Lease. In addition,

in the event the Bank is placed into receivership or conservatorship by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor or

similar entity, then, effective as of the date such receivership or conservatorship occurs, said L-C shall be deemed to fail to meet

the requirements of this Article 20, and, within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s notice to Tenant of such receivership

or conservatorship (the “L-C FDIC Replacement Notice”), Tenant shall replace such L-C with a substitute letter of

credit from a different issuer (which issuer shall meet or exceed the Bank’s Credit Rating Threshold and shall otherwise be acceptable

to Landlord in its reasonable discretion) and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 20. If Tenant fails

to replace such L-C with such conforming, substitute letter of credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 20.1, then,

notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to declare Tenant in default of this Lease for

which there shall be no notice or grace or cure periods being applicable thereto (other than the aforesaid ten (10) day period). Tenant

shall be responsible for the payment of any and all reasonable costs incurred with the review of any replacement L-C (including without

limitation Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees), which replacement is required pursuant to this Section or is otherwise

requested by Tenant. In the event of an assignment by Tenant of its interest in this Lease (and irrespective of whether Landlord’s

consent is required for such assignment), the acceptance of any replacement or substitute letter of credit by Landlord from the assignee

shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. In the event that Landlord draws

upon the L-C (i) solely due to Tenant’s failure to renew or replace the L-C on a timely basis, such failure shall not constitute

a default hereunder and (ii) Tenant shall at any time thereafter be entitled to provide Landlord with a replacement L-C that satisfies

the requirements hereunder, at which time Landlord shall return the cash proceeds of the original L-C drawn by Landlord.

20.2

Application of L-C. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon

the ability of Landlord to draw upon the L-C upon the occurrence of any L-C Draw Event. In the event of any L-C Draw Event, Landlord

may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant (except in connection with an L-C Draw Event under Section 20.1(H)

above), draw upon the L-C, in part or in whole, to cure any such L-C Draw Event and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages

of any kind or nature sustained or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Tenant’s breach or default

of the Lease or other L-C Draw Event and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages arising out of, or incurred in connection

with, the termination of this Lease, including, without limitation, those specifically identified in Section 1951.2 of the California

Civil Code, in each case to the extent Landlord is entitled to such damages pursuant to this Lease. The use, application or retention

of the L-C, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this

Lease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the L-C, and such L-C

shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled, provided that any amount drawn from the

L-C shall be offset against any amounts claimed by Landlord. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the

proceeds of the L-C, either prior to or following a “draw” by Landlord of any portion of the L-C, regardless of whether any

dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord’s right to draw upon the L-C. No condition or term of this Lease shall

be deemed to render the L-C conditional to justify the issuer of the L-C in failing to honor a drawing upon such L-C in a timely manner.

Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the L-C constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank, (ii) Tenant

is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, (iii) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the L-C or the proceeds thereof,

and (iv) in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant is placed into receivership or conservatorship,

and/or there is an event of a receivership, conservatorship or a bankruptcy filing by, or on behalf of, Tenant, neither Tenant, any trustee,

nor Tenant’s bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord’s claim and/or rights to the L-C and/or

the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

20.3

L-C Amount; Maintenance of L-C by Tenant; Liquidated Damages.

20.3.1

L-C Amount. The L-C Amount shall be equal to the amount set forth in Section 10 of the Summary.

20.3.2

In General. If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord of all or any portion of the L-C, the amount of the L-C shall be less than

the L-C Amount, Tenant shall, within five (5) business days thereafter, provide Landlord with (i) an amendment to the L-C restoring such

L-C to the L-C Amount or (ii) additional L-Cs in an amount equal to the deficiency, which additional L-Cs shall comply with all of the

provisions of this Article 20. If Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, Landlord shall send a second notice requesting that Tenant

provide Landlord with (i) an amendment to the L-C restoring such L-C to the L-C Amount or (ii) additional L-Cs in an amount equal to

the deficiency. If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with (i) an amendment to the L-C restoring such L-C to the L-C Amount or (ii) additional

L-Cs in an amount equal to the deficiency within five (5) business days of receipt of such second notice, then notwithstanding anything

to the contrary contained in Article 19, the same shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease (without the need for any additional

notice and/or cure period). Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the L-C or any part thereof

and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted

encumbrance.

20.3.3

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the L-C expires earlier than the L-C Expiration Date, Landlord will accept a renewal

thereof (such renewal letter of credit to be in effect and delivered to Landlord, as applicable, not later than thirty (30) days prior

to the expiration of the L-C), which shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable as above provided through the L-C Expiration Date

upon the same terms as the expiring L-C or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. However, if the

L-C is not timely renewed, or if Tenant fails to maintain the L-C in the amount and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Article

20, Landlord shall have the right to either (x) present the L-C to the Bank in accordance with the terms of this Article 20, and the

proceeds of the L-C may be applied by Landlord against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and/or to

pay for all losses and damages that Landlord (a) has suffered as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease and (b)

is permitted to recover in accordance with the other terms and conditions of this Lease, or (y) pursue its remedy under this Article

20. In the event Landlord elects to exercise its rights under the foregoing item (x), Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within thirty

(30) days after the L-C Expiration Date the amount of any proceeds of the L-C received by Landlord and not applied against any Rent payable

by Tenant under this Lease that was not paid when due or used to pay for any losses and/or damages suffered by Landlord as a result of

any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease.

20.4

Transfer and Encumbrance. The L-C shall provide that Landlord and its successors and assigns may, at any time and without notice

to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant’s consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest

in and to the L-C to another party, person or entity, in connection with the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and

to this Lease, or separate from this Lease if such assignment is to Landlord’s lender. In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s

interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the L-C to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement

between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every

transfer or assignment of said L-C to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the L-C by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s

sole cost and expense, execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary to

effectuate such transfer, and Landlord shall be responsible for paying the Bank’s reasonable transfer and processing fees in connection

therewith.

20.5

L-C Not a Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant (1) acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the L-C or any

renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof be deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” under any

law applicable to security deposits in the commercial context, including, but not limited to Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code,

as such Section now exists or as it may be hereafter amended or succeeded (the “Security Deposit Laws”), (2) acknowledge

and agree that the L-C (including any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof) is not intended to serve as a security

deposit, and the Security Deposit Laws shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto, and (3) waive any and all rights, duties and

obligations that any such party may now or in the future will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Tenant hereby

irrevocably waives and relinquishes the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and any successor statute, and all

other provisions of law now or hereafter in effect which (x) establish the time frame by which a landlord must refund a security deposit

under a lease, and/or (y) provide that a landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults

in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by a tenant or to clean the premises, it being agreed that Landlord may claim those sums

(and only those sums) otherwise permitted by this Article.

20.6

Non-Interference By Tenant. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with any payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the L-C,

either prior to or following a “draw” by Landlord of all or any portion of the L-C, regardless of whether any dispute exists

between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord’s right to draw down all or any portion of the L-C. No condition or term of this Lease

shall be deemed to render the L-C conditional and thereby afford the Bank a justification for failing to honor a drawing upon such L-C

in a timely manner. Tenant shall not request or instruct the Bank of any L-C to refrain from paying sight draft(s) drawn under such L-C.

20.7

Waiver of Certain Relief. Tenant unconditionally and irrevocably waives (and as an independent covenant hereunder, covenants not

to assert) any right to claim or obtain any of the following relief in connection with the L-C:

20.7.1

A temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, permanent injunction, or other order that would prevent, restrain or restrict the

presentment of sight drafts drawn under any L-C or the Bank’s honoring or payment of sight draft(s); or

20.7.2

Any attachment, garnishment, or levy in any manner upon either the proceeds of any L-C or the obligations of the Bank (either before

or after the presentment to the Bank of sight drafts drawn under such L-C) based on any theory whatsoever.

20.8

Remedy for Improper Drafts. Tenant’s sole remedy in connection with the improper presentment or payment of sight drafts

drawn under any L-C shall be the right to obtain from Landlord a refund of the amount of any sight draft(s) that were improperly presented

or the proceeds of which were misapplied, together with interest at the Interest Rate and reasonable actual out-of-pocket attorneys’

fees, provided that at the time of such refund, Tenant increases the amount of such L-C to the amount (if any) then required under the

applicable provisions of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the presentment of sight drafts drawn under any L-C, or the Bank’s

payment of sight drafts drawn under such L-C, could not under any circumstances cause Tenant injury that could not be remedied by an

award of money damages, and that the recovery of money damages would be an adequate remedy therefor.

COMPLIANCE

WITH LAW

Subject

to Landlord’s obligation to deliver the Premises to Tenant in compliance with all applicable laws, Tenant shall not do anything

or suffer anything to be done in the Premises which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule,

regulation or requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly

comply with all such governmental measures, other than the making of structural changes or changes to the Building’s life safety

system (collectively the “Excluded Changes”); provided, however, to the extent such Excluded Changes are required

due to or triggered by Tenant’s improvements or alterations to and/or particular manner of use of the Premises, Landlord shall

perform such work, at Tenant’s cost (which shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt

of invoice therefor from Landlord). In addition, Tenant shall fully comply with any future, commercially reasonable programs intended

to manage parking, transportation or traffic in and around the Project, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall take responsible action

for the transportation planning and management of all employees located at the Premises by working directly with Landlord, any governmental

transportation management organization or any other transportation-related committees or entities. The judgment of any court of competent

jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is a party thereto, that Tenant has violated

any of said governmental measures, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.

ENTRY

BY LANDLORD

Landlord

reserves the right at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice to Tenant of at least twenty four (24) hours except in an emergency

in which case such notice (if any) as is reasonably practicable to enter the Premises to: (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to

prospective purchasers, mortgagees, or to the ground lessors, or, in the final twelve 12) months of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants;

(iii) to post notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Building if necessary to comply with

current building codes or other applicable laws, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the Building, or as Landlord

may otherwise reasonably desire or deem necessary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 22, Landlord may

enter the Premises at any time, without notice to Tenant, in emergency situations and/or to perform janitorial or other services required

of Landlord pursuant to this Lease. Any such entries shall be without the abatement of Rent and shall include the right to take such

reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes. Tenant hereby waives any claims for abatement of Rent (except as provided

in Section 6.8 above) or damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, lost profits,

any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the above purposes, Landlord

shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and special

security areas designated in advance by Tenant. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to enter without notice and use any means

that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises in the manner hereinbefore described

shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of

Tenant from any portion of the Premises. Tenant shall have the right to accompany Landlord during any access of the Premises by Landlord.

Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to Tenant during any access of the Premises by the Landlord

hereunder.

PARKING

Throughout

the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to use, on a “first-come, first-served” basis, in common with other tenants of

the Building and free of parking charges, the number of unreserved parking spaces set forth in Section 12 of the Summary, which unreserved

parking spaces are located in the Parking Areas servicing the Building as shall be designated by Landlord from time to time for unreserved

parking for the tenants of the Building. Tenant shall (i) abide by (A) the Parking Rules and Regulations which are in effect on the date

hereof, as set forth in the attached Exhibit D and all modifications and additions thereto which are reasonably prescribed

from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the Parking Areas by Landlord, and/or Landlord’s Parking Operator (as defined

below), and (B) all recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Building, and (ii) cooperate in seeing that Tenant’s

employees and visitors also comply with the Parking Rules and Regulations (and all such modifications and additions thereto, as the case

may be), any such other rules and regulations and covenants, conditions and restrictions. Landlord (and/or any other owners of the Project)

specifically reserve the right to change the size, configuration, design, layout, location and all other aspects of the Parking Areas

(including without limitation, implementing paid visitor parking), but shall not reduce the total parking spaces serving the Building

(subject to Force Majeure events) nor move such spaces materially further away than the current location of the Parking Areas (except

on a temporary basis in connection with Landlord’s rights under this Lease) and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may,

tenant or type or number of tenants shall, during the Lease Term, occupy any space in the Building, the Other Existing Buildings or Project.

24.17

Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, epidemics, pandemics,

other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, except with respect to the obligations

imposed with regard to Rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (collectively, the “Force Majeure”),

notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance of such party for a period equal to any

24.18

premises for other tenants and, at Landlord’s sole election, such other buildings, improvements, landscaping and other facilities

portions of the common areas, or perform work in the Building, the Other Existing Buildings and/or the Project, which work may create

noise and dust or leave debris in the Building, the Other Existing Buildings and/or the Project. Tenant hereby agrees that such Construction

and Landlord’s actions in connection with such Construction shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor, subject

to Section 6.8 above, entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent. Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant

for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from such Construction, nor shall Tenant be

entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant’s

personal property or improvements resulting from such Construction or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Construction,

or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Construction or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Construction.

this Lease. This reservation includes Landlord’s right to subdivide the Project and convert portions of the Project to condominium

units, change the size of the Project by selling all or a portion of the Project or adding real property and any improvements thereon

Substitution of Other Premises. Landlord shall have the right to move Tenant to other space in the Project comparable in size

to the Premises, and all terms hereof shall apply to the new space with equal force. In such event, Landlord shall give Tenant prior

notice of Landlord’s election to so relocate Tenant, and shall move Tenant’s effects to the new space at Landlord’s

sole cost and expense at such time and in such manner as to inconvenience Tenant as little as reasonably practicable. The new space shall

be delivered to Tenant with improvements substantially similar to but in no event of lesser quality than those improvements existing

in the Premises at the time of Landlord’s notification to Tenant of the relocation. Simultaneously with such relocation of the

Premises, the parties shall immediately execute an amendment to this Lease stating the relocation of the Premises and adjusting the rentable

square footage of the Premises therein to reflect the new premises.

Water Sensors. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, be responsible for promptly installing web-enabled wireless

water leak sensor devices designed to alert the Tenant on a twenty-four (24) hour, seven (7) day per week basis if a water leak is occurring

The Water Sensors shall be installed in any areas in the Premises where water is utilized (such as sinks, pipes, faucets, water heaters,

coffee machines, ice machines, water dispensers and water fountains), and in locations that may be designated from time to time by Landlord

(the “Sensor Areas”). In connection with any Alterations affecting or relating to any Sensor Areas, Landlord may require

Water Sensors to be installed or updated in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. With respect to the installation of any such Water

Sensors, Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent, use an experienced and qualified contractor reasonably designated

by Landlord, and comply with all of the other provisions of Article 8 of this Lease. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense,

pursuant to Article 7 of this Lease keep any Water Sensors located in the Premises (whether installed by Tenant or someone else) in good

working order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term and comply with all of the other provisions of Article 7 of this

Lease. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, Landlord has neither an obligation to monitor, repair or otherwise

maintain the Water Sensors, nor an obligation to respond to any alerts it may receive from the Water Sensors or which may be generated

from the Water Sensors. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or immediately following any earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord

reserves the right to require Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to remove all Water Sensors installed by Tenant, and repair

any damage caused by such removal; provided, however, if the Landlord does not require the Tenant to remove the Water Sensors as contemplated

by the foregoing, then Tenant shall leave the Water Sensors in place together with all necessary user information such that the same

may be used by a future occupant of the Premises (e.g., the Water Sensors shall be unblocked and ready for use by a third-party).

If Tenant is required to remove the Water Sensors pursuant to the foregoing and Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or fails to

repair any damage caused by the removal of any Water Sensors, Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant.

in separate receptacles as directed by Landlord; (e) that Landlord reserves the right to refuse to collect or accept from Tenant any

waste that is not separated and sorted as required by law, and to require Tenant to arrange for such collection of Tenant’s sole

cost and expense, utilizing a contractor satisfactory to Landlord; and (f) that Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses, fines, penalties

or damages that may be imposed on Landlord or Tenant by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section.

WORK LETTER

This

Tenant Work Letter (“Tenant Work Letter”) sets forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of improvements

for the Premises. All references in this Tenant Work Letter to the “Lease” shall mean the relevant portions of the

Lease to which this Tenant Work Letter is attached as Exhibit B.

SECTION

1

BASE,

SHELL AND CORE

Landlord

has previously constructed the base, shell and core (i) of the Premises and (ii) of the floor(s) of the Building on which the Premises

obligated to make or pay for any alterations or improvements to the Premises, the Building or the Project.

SECTION

2

CONSTRUCTION

DRAWINGS FOR THE PREMISES

Prior

to the execution of the Lease, Landlord and Tenant have approved a detailed space plan for the construction of certain improvements in

the Premises, which space plan has been prepared by McFarlane Architects, dated May 21, 2026 (the “Final Space Plan”),

which Final Space Plan is attached hereto as Schedule 1. Based upon and in conformity with the Final Space Plan, Landlord

shall cause its architect and engineers to prepare and deliver to Tenant, for Tenant’s approval, detailed specifications and engineered

working drawings for the tenant improvements shown on the Final Space Plan (the “Working Drawings”). The Working Drawings

shall incorporate modifications to the Final Space Plan as necessary to comply with the floor load and other structural and system requirements

of the Building. To the extent that the finishes and specifications are not completely set forth in the Final Space Plan for any portion

of the tenant improvements depicted thereon, the actual specifications and finish work shall be in accordance with the specifications

for the Building’s standard tenant improvement items, as determined by Landlord. Within five (5) business days after Tenant’s

receipt of the Working Drawings, Tenant shall approve or disapprove the same, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided,

however, that Tenant may only disapprove the Working Drawings to the extent such Working Drawings are inconsistent with the Final Space

Plan and only if Tenant delivers to Landlord, within such five (5) business day period, specific changes proposed by Tenant which are

consistent with the Final Space Plan and do not constitute changes which would result in any of the circumstances described in items

(i) through (iv) hereinbelow. If any such revisions are timely proposed by Tenant, Landlord shall cause its architect and engineers to

revise the Working Drawings to incorporate such revisions and submit the same for Tenant’s approval in accordance with the foregoing

provisions, and the parties shall follow the foregoing procedures for approving the Working Drawings until the same are finally approved

by Landlord and Tenant. Upon Landlord’s and Tenant’s approval of the Working Drawings, the same shall be known as the “Approved

Working Drawings”. The tenant improvements shown on the Approved Working Drawings shall be referred to herein as the “Tenant

Improvements”. Once the Approved Working Drawings have been approved by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall make no changes,

change orders or modifications thereto without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s

sole discretion if such change or modification would: (i) delay the substantial completion of the Premises (as defined below); (ii) increase

the costs of the design, permitting and construction of the Tenant Improvements above the costs of the design, permitting and construction

of those tenant improvements depicted in the Final Space Plan; (iii) be of a quality lower than the quality of the standard tenant improvement

items for the Building; and/or (iv) require any changes to the Base, Shell and Core or structural improvements or systems of the Building.

The Final Space Plan, Working Drawings and Approved Working Drawings shall be collectively referred to herein as, the “Construction

Drawings”.

17.

If the Parking Area(s) is/are damaged or destroyed, or if the use of the Parking Area(s) is/are limited or prohibited by any governmental

authority, or the use or operation of the Parking Area(s) is/are limited or prevented by strikes or other labor difficulties or other

causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, Tenant’s inability to use the parking spaces will not subject Landlord (and/or

the Parking Operator, as the case may be) to any liability to Tenant and will not relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under the

Lease and the Lease will remain in full force and effect, provided that substitute parking within a commercially reasonable walking distance

of the Parking Areas is provided. Tenant will pay to Landlord upon demand, and Tenant indemnifies Landlord against, any and all loss

or damage to the Parking Areas, or any equipment, fixtures, or signs used in connection with the Parking Areas and any adjoining buildings

or structures caused by Tenant or any of its employees and agents.

18.

Tenant has no right to assign or sublicense any of its rights in the parking passes, except as part of a permitted assignment or sublease

of the Lease; however, Tenant may allocate the parking passes among its employees.

Tenant

shall be responsible for the observance of all of the Rules and Regulations and Parking Rules and Regulations in this Exhibit D

by Tenant’s employees, agents, clients, customers, invitees and guests. Landlord shall apply these Rules and Regulations and Parking

Rules and Regulations in a nondiscriminatory manner among tenants. Landlord reserves the right at any time to change or rescind any one

or more of these Rules and Regulations and/or the Parking Rules and Regulations, or to make such other and further reasonable Rules and

Regulations and/or Parking Rules and Regulations as in Landlord’s reasonable judgment may from time to time be necessary for the

management, safety, care and cleanliness of the Premises, Building and Project, and for the preservation of good order therein, as well

as for the convenience of other occupants and tenants therein, provided that any such changes or additional Rules and Regulations and/or

Parking Rules and Regulations do not interfere with Tenant’s access to or use of the Premises. Tenant shall be deemed to have read

these Rules and Regulations and Parking Rules and Regulations and to have agreed to abide by them as a condition of its occupancy of

the Premises.

COMMON

AREA AMENITIES

1.

Tenant understands that Landlord may provide certain common area amenities for Tenant’s non-exclusive use. Such amenities are for

the use of tenants during regular business hours and shall be reserved through the management office in advance. Tenant and Tenant’s

agents, employees and invitees shall adhere to all reasonable rules Landlord sets forth in respect to use of the amenities, which may

change from time to time.

2.

Tenant understands and agrees that Tenant uses the amenities at its own risk. Tenant indemnifies and agrees to hold Landlord and its

agents and employees harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, and actions arising out of the use of the amenities by Tenant

and its agents, employees and invitees, whether brought by any of such persons or any other person, except to the extent caused by the

negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors.

3.

All amenities offered shall remain at the locations designated by Landlord all times. Tenant must use the equipment only in the manner

intended. Landlord reserves the right to limit Tenant’s use of any equipment or amenities to ensure the equitable use of the equipment

and amenities by all tenants. Tenant shall not move or modify the equipment in any manner whatsoever. If Tenant has reason to believe

that any equipment is malfunctioning, Tenant shall notify Landlord.

4.

Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of repairs or replacements of any amenities that are not returned to management after use or

are damaged during the use of any such amenity by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees or invitees, and Tenant shall reimburse

Landlord for any such cost within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor.

5.

Tenant shall conduct themselves in a quiet and well-mannered fashion when on or about the amenities and not cause any disturbances or

interfere with the use or enjoyment of the amenities by other tenants.

6.

Tenant shall not bring any food or beverages into any amenity area, excluding the common areas.

7.

WHEREAS,

pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2025 (as amended, restated, supplemented and otherwise

modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), among Landlord and certain of its affiliates, as borrowers, the

WHEREAS,

the Loan is evidenced by one or more promissory notes and secured by, among other things, the Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases and

Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (as amended, restated, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security

Instrument”; “Loan Documents” means, collectively, such promissory notes, the Loan Agreement and the Security

Instrument, as the same may be, in each case, amended, restated, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time) made by Landlord

in favor of the trustee named therein for the benefit of Agent (for its benefit and for the benefit of Lenders) and recorded in the official

real property records of San Diego County, California, which Security Instrument encumbers the land (the “Land”) located

at [________________] Morehouse Drive, San Diego, California and more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto

and incorporated herein by reference and the improvements thereon (the “Improvements” and, collectively with the Land,

-1- Calidi Biotherapeutics

WHEREAS,

the term “Landlord” as used herein means the present landlord under the Lease or, if the Landlord’s interest is transferred

in any manner, the successor(s) or assign(s) occupying the position of Landlord under the Lease at the time in question.

NOW,

THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency

of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.

Subordination. Tenant agrees and covenants, subject to the terms of this Agreement, that the Lease and any extensions, modifications

or renewals thereof, including but not limited to any option to purchase, right of first refusal to purchase or right of first offer

to purchase the Property or any portion thereof, if any, is and shall continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the lien

of the Security Instrument.

2.

Non-Disturbance. Agent agrees that so long as the Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant is not in default in the payment

of rent, additional rent or other payments due under the Lease or in the performance of any of the other terms, covenants or conditions

of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed (beyond the period, if any, specified in the Lease within which Tenant may cure such

default):

(a)

Tenant’s possession of the Premises under the Lease shall not be disturbed or interfered with by Agent in the exercise of any of

its foreclosure rights under the Security Instrument or in connection with the conveyance of the Property by deed in lieu of foreclosure,

and

(b)

Agent will not join Tenant as a party defendant for the purpose of terminating Tenant’s interest and estate under the Lease in

any proceeding for foreclosure of the Security Instrument.

3.

Attornment.

(a)

Tenant covenants and agrees that in the event of the foreclosure of the Security Instrument, whether by power of sale or by court action,

or upon a transfer of the Property by a deed in lieu of foreclosure (the purchaser at foreclosure or the transferee in such deed in lieu

of foreclosure, including Agent if it is such purchaser or transferee, being herein called the “New Owner”), Tenant

shall attorn to the New Owner as Tenant’s new landlord, and agrees that the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a

direct lease between Tenant and New Owner upon all of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements set forth in the Lease and this

Agreement, except for defaults that are personal to Landlord (such as bankruptcy and the like); provided, however, that in no event shall

the New Owner be:

(i)

liable for any prior act or omission of Landlord or any prior landlord or damages arising therefrom except to the extent that liability

or damages accrue during a period in which New Owner has succeeded to Landlord;

(ii)

subject to any offset, defense, claim or counterclaim which Tenant might be entitled to assert against any previous landlord (including

Landlord) unless the Tenant shall have provided the Agent with (A) notice of the applicable default that gave rise to such offset or

defense, and (B) the opportunity to cure the same, all in accordance with the terms of Section 4(b) below;

EXHIBIT E 5580 MOREHOUSE DRIVE

-2- Calidi Biotherapeutics

(iii)

bound by any payment of rent, additional rent or other payments, made by Tenant to any previous landlord (including Landlord) for more

than one (1) month in advance of the date when due under the Lease;

(iv)

bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease hereafter made, without the written consent of Agent (if such consent is required

pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents);

(v)

obligated to complete any construction work required to be done by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of the Lease or to reimburse Tenant

for any construction work done by Tenant, except for repairs, restoration and maintenance to the Property required by the Lease to be

performed by Landlord, the need for which continues after the date the New Owner succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Property;

(vi)

required to make any repairs to the Property or the Premises required as a result of fire, or other casualty or by reason of condemnation

unless the New Owner shall be obligated under the Lease to make such repairs; or

(vii)

liable for any deposit that Tenant may have given to any previous landlord (including Landlord) which has not been transferred to New

Owner.

(b)

The provisions of this Agreement regarding attornment by Tenant shall be self-operative and effective without the necessity of execution

of any new lease or other document on the part of any party hereto or the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns

of any such party. Tenant agrees, however, to execute and deliver upon the request of New Owner, any reasonable instrument or certificate

which in the reasonable judgment of New Owner may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment, including a new lease of the

Premises on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease for the unexpired term of the Lease.

4.

Acknowledgment and Agreement by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees as follows:

(a)

Without the prior written consent of Agent in each case, Tenant shall not (i) amend, modify, terminate or cancel the Lease or any extensions

or renewals thereof, or tender a surrender of the Lease (except in each case that, upon a default by Landlord under the Lease, Tenant

may exercise its rights under the Lease after giving to Agent the notice and cure period required by this Agreement), (ii) make a prepayment

of any rent or additional rent more than one (1) month in advance of the due date thereof, or (iii) subordinate or permit the subordination

of the Lease to any lien subordinate to the Security Instrument. Any such purported action without such consent shall be void as against

the holder of the Security Instrument.

(b)

From and after the date hereof, in the event of a default by Landlord under the Lease which would give Tenant the right, either immediately

or after the lapse of time, the giving of notice, or both, to terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant will

not exercise any such right (i) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to the Agent; and (ii) until Tenant has given

Agent a period of thirty (30) days after the expiration of Landlord’s applicable cure period to cure such default, or such longer

period of time as may be necessary to cure or remedy such default (provided Agent commences such cure within such thirty (30) day period),

during which period of time Agent shall be permitted to cure or remedy such default; provided, however, that Agent shall have no duty

or obligation to cure or remedy any default. It is specifically agreed that Tenant shall not, as to Agent, require cure of any such default

which is personal to Landlord (such as a bankruptcy of Landlord), and therefore not susceptible to cure by Agent.

EXHIBIT E 5580 MOREHOUSE DRIVE

-3- Calidi Biotherapeutics

(c)

If Agent notifies Tenant of a default under the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents and demands that Tenant pay its

rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Agent, Tenant shall honor such demand and pay the full amount of its rent and

all other sums due under the Lease directly to Agent, without offset, or as otherwise required pursuant to such notice beginning with

the payment next due after such notice of default, without inquiry as to whether a default actually exists under the Security Instrument

or other Loan Documents, and notwithstanding any contrary instructions of or demands from Landlord.

(d)

If Agent or any New Owner shall acquire title to the Premises or the Property, Agent or such New Owner shall have no obligation, nor

incur any liability, beyond Agent’s or New Owner’s then equity interest, if any, in the Premises or Property, as the case

may be, and Tenant shall look exclusively to such equity interest of Agent or New Owner, if any, for the payment and discharge of any

obligations imposed upon Agent or New Owner hereunder or under the Lease or for recovery of any judgment from Agent, or New Owner, and

in no event shall Agent, New Owner, or any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, representatives, servants,

employees or partners ever be personally liable for any such judgment.

(e)

If the Lease entitles Tenant to notice of the existence of any Security Instrument and the identity of any mortgagee or any ground lessor,

this Agreement shall constitute such notice to Tenant with respect to the Security Instrument and Agent.

5.

Acknowledgment and Agreement by Landlord. Landlord, as landlord under the Lease and grantor under the Security Instrument, acknowledges

and agrees for itself and its heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, that: (a) this Agreement does not constitute a waiver by

Agent of any of its rights under the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, or in any way release Landlord from its

obligations to comply with the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants, agreements and clauses of the Security Instrument and the other

Loan Documents; (b) the provisions of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect and must and

shall be complied with by Landlord; and (c) Tenant is hereby authorized to pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly

to Agent upon receipt of a notice as set forth in paragraph 4(c) above from Agent and that Tenant is not obligated to inquire as to whether

a default actually exists under the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents. Landlord hereby releases and discharges Tenant

of and from any liability to Landlord resulting from Tenant’s payment to Agent in accordance with this Agreement. Landlord represents

and warrants to Agent that a true and complete copy of the Lease has been delivered by Landlord to Agent.

6.

Lease Status. Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant to Agent that neither Landlord nor Tenant has knowledge of any default

or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default on the part of the other under the

Lease, that the Lease is bona fide and contains all of the agreements of the parties thereto with respect to the letting of the Premises

and that all of the agreements and provisions therein contained are in full force and effect.

7.

Notices. All notices or other written communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been properly given (i) upon delivery,

if delivered in person, (ii) one (1) business day after having been deposited for overnight delivery with any reputable overnight courier

service, or (iii) three (3) business days after having been deposited in any post office or mail depository regularly maintained by the

U.S. Postal Service and sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the addresses set

forth at the end of this Agreement or as such party may from time to time designate by written notice to the other parties. Any party

by notice to the others in the manner provided herein may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

8.

Miscellaneous.

(a)

This Agreement supersedes any inconsistent provision of the Lease.

(b)

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to derogate from or in any way impair, or affect the lien, security interest or

provisions of the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents.

(c)

This Agreement shall bind and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns, and

any New Owner, and its heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that in the event of the assignment

or transfer of the interest of Agent, all obligations and liabilities of the assigning Agent under this Agreement shall terminate, and

thereupon all such obligations and liabilities shall be the responsibility of the party to whom Agent’s interest is assigned or

transferred.

(d)

THIS AGREEMENT AND ITS VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED.

(e)

EACH OF TENANT, AGENT AND LANDLORD HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING

respective successors in interest.

(h)

If any provision of the Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality

or unenforceability shall not apply to or affect any other provision hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalidity,

illegality, or unenforceability did not exist.

(i)

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all

of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be delivered by facsimile transmission,

EXTENSION

OPTION RIDER

This

Extension Option Rider (“Extension Rider”) is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between Landlord and

Tenant. The agreements set forth in this Extension Rider shall have the same force and effect as if set forth in the Lease. To the extent

the terms of this Extension Rider are inconsistent with the terms of the Lease, the terms of this Extension Rider shall control.

1.

Extension Option. Landlord hereby grants Tenant one (1) option (the “Extension Option”) to extend the Lease

Term for a period of three (3) years (the “Option Term”), which option shall be exercisable only by written Exercise

Notice (as defined below) delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided below. Upon the proper exercise of the Extension Option, the Lease

Term shall be extended for the Option Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Landlord’s option, in addition to any other remedies

available to Landlord under the Lease, at law or in equity, the Extension Option shall not be deemed properly exercised if, as of the

date of delivery of the Exercise Notice (as defined below) by Tenant, Tenant has previously been in Default. The Extension Option may

only be exercised if Tenant occupies at least fifty percent (50%) of the Premises as of the date of Tenant’s delivery of the Exercise

Notice.

2.

Option Rent. The annual Base Rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the “Option Rent”) shall be equal

to the Fair Market Rental Rate for comparable Class A office/laboratory space in the Sorrento Mesa submarket of San Diego (“Market

Area”). As used herein, the “Fair Market Rental Rate” shall mean the annual base rent at which tenants,

as of the commencement of the Option Term, will be leasing non-sublease space comparable in size, location (including views) and quality

to the Premises for a comparable term as the Option Term, which comparable space is located in the Building, the Other Existing Buildings

in the Project and in other comparable first-class biotechnology in the Market Area, taking into consideration all free rent and other

out-of-pocket concessions generally being granted at such time for such comparable space for the Option Term (including, without limitation,

any tenant improvement allowance provided for such comparable space (assuming such space has existing improvements similar in quality,

condition and finish to those in the Premises), with the amount of such tenant improvement allowance to be provided for the Premises

during the Option Term to be determined after taking into account the age, quality and layout of the tenant improvements in the Premises

as of the commencement of the Option Term, with consideration given to the fact that the improvements existing in the Premises are specifically

suitable to Tenant). All other terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply throughout the Option Term; however, Tenant shall, in no

event, have the option to extend the Lease Term beyond the Option Term described in Section 1 above.

3.

Exercise of Option. The Extension Option shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, only in the following manner: (i) Tenant shall

deliver written notice (“Interest Notice”) to Landlord not more than twelve (12) months nor less than nine (9) months

prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term stating that Tenant may be interested in exercising the Extension Option; (ii)

Landlord, after receipt of Tenant’s notice, shall deliver notice (the “Option Rent Notice”) to Tenant setting

forth the Option Rent within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Interest Notice; and (iii) if Tenant wishes to exercise the

Extension Option, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Option Rent Notice (the “Exercise Date”),

exercise the Extension Option by delivering written notice (“Exercise Notice”) thereof to Landlord. Tenant’s

failure to deliver the Interest Notice or Exercise Notice on or before the applicable delivery dates specified hereinabove shall be deemed

to constitute Tenant’s waiver of the Extension Option.

4.

Determination of Option Rent. If Tenant timely and appropriately objects in its Exercise Notice to Landlord to the Fair Market

Rental Rate for the Option Term initially determined by Landlord, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to agree upon

the Fair Market Rental Rate. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s delivery

of such Exercise Notice (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party shall submit to the other party a separate

written determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate within fifteen (15) business days after the Outside Agreement Date, and such determinations

shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4.1 through 4.6 below; provided, however, Landlord shall

not submit an amount in excess of that set forth in the Option Rent Notice. The failure of Tenant or Landlord to submit a written determination

of the Fair Market Rental Rate within such fifteen (15) business day period shall conclusively be deemed to be such party’s approval

of the Fair Market Rental Rate submitted within such fifteen (15) business day period by the other party.

RIDER 1 5580 MOREHOUSE DRIVE

4.1

Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one (1) arbitrator who shall by profession be an independent real estate broker who shall have

no ongoing relationship with Tenant or Landlord and who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such

appointment in the leasing of first class biotechnology office buildings in the Market Area. The determination of the arbitrators shall

be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Rental Rate is closer to the actual

Fair Market Rental Rate as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements with respect thereto set forth in Section

2 above. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date.

4.2

The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall, within fifteen (15) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator,

agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the

initial two (2) arbitrators.

4.3

The three (3) arbitrators shall, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator, reach a decision as to which of

Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Rental Rate is closer to the actual Fair Market Rental Rate and shall select

such closer determination as the Fair Market Rental Rate and notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.

4.4

The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

4.5

If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within the time period specified in Section 4.1 hereinabove, the arbitrator

appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator’s decision shall be binding

upon Landlord and Tenant.

4.6

If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator within the time period provided in Section 4.2 above, then

the parties shall mutually select the third arbitrator. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within ten

(10) days after the fifteen (15) day period described in Section 4.2 above, then either party may, upon at least five (5) days’

prior written notice to the other party, request the Presiding Judge of the San Diego County Superior Court, acting in his private and

nonjudicial capacity, to appoint the third arbitrator. Following the appointment of the third arbitrator, the panel of arbitrators shall

within thirty (30) days thereafter reach a decision as to whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Rental Rate

shall be used and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the costs of its own arbitrator and fifty

percent (50%) of the cost of the third arbitrator
